The WisdomTree Capital Markets team is continually evaluating the suite of WisdomTree funds for potential operational or other changes that seek to benefit investors, with particular focus on ETF trading. 

Michael Barrer, WisdomTree Associate Director or Capital Markets, “As CXSE continues to gain traction and interest from investors, splitting the fund’s price 2:1 has the potential to result in tighter bid/ask spreads for the benefit of all investors.  Furthermore, the lower price point of the fund allows for a smaller minimum investment, as well as further ease when rebalancing ETF portfolios, among other potential benefits.”

Investors should read the prospectus carefully before investing.There are risks associated with investing, including the possible loss of principal. Foreign investing involves special risks, such as risk of loss from currency fluctuation or political or economic uncertainty. The Fund focuses its investments in China, including A-shares, which include the risk of the Stock Connect program, thereby increasing the impact of events and developments associated with the region which can adversely affect performance. Investments in emerging or offshore markets are generally less liquid and less efficient than investments in developed markets and are subject to additional risks, such as risks of adverse governmental regulation and intervention or political developments. The Fund’s exposure to certain sectors may increases its vulnerability to any single economic or regulatory development related to such sector. As this Fund can have a high concentration in some issuers, the Fund can be adversely impacted by changes affecting those issuers. Please read the Fund’s prospectus for specific details regarding the Fund’s risk profile.
