    i'm sorry i just realized i missed part of your question. DBU has helped to reduce correlation, clearly (BTW some clients own it), for a portfolio. However I am inclined to view it primarily as proxy for utilities as opposed to an alternative asset class, similar to what Raj said.

  • Interview: Luciano Siracusano, Director of Research for ETF Firm WisdomTree Asset Management [View article]
    Another one if that is OK. I realize WisdomTree makes its own indices and I am under the impression that the company is exploring, one way or another, fixed income products. I had a lot of feedback from people wanting foreign bond ETFs. I know MSCI/Barra has a lot of indices of foreign soverign debt (single country and regional) and I think this woud be a great tool.

    I am fairly index agnostic relative to wanting the exposure for my clients. <strong>Any chance WisdomTree could get involved in this way?</strong> The interest and so I think the demand is very big.

    Luciano,

    Great to meet you last week. Here is one I meant to ask.

    In looking at the top ten of DEB and DEW, I'm not sure how Total (TOT) can be number 4 in DEB but not be in the top ten for DEW (as of 12/11). Another example Lloyd's has a different rank in each of the two. I get how the weightings can be different percentages but not how the order can be different.

    Thank you!
