The WisdomTree U.S. SmallCap Dividend Fund (DES) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track a fundamentally weighted index of dividend-paying U.S. small-capitalization stocks. Under normal conditions, at least 95% of the funds total assets (excluding collateral from securities lending) must be invested in securities included in the underlying index or instruments with substantially identical economic characteristics. The fund operates as a non-diversified fund, meaning it may concentrate its holdings in a smaller number of issuers compared to diversified funds.
ETFs like DES trade on exchanges and pool investor capital to passively replicate the performance of a specified benchmark. A fundamentally weighted index differs from a traditional market-cap-weighted index by assigning weights based on company fundamentals (such as dividends or earnings) rather than share price, which typically results in larger allocations to companies with stronger cash distributions relative to their market value.
