Interview: Luciano Siracusano, Director of Research for ETF Firm WisdomTree Asset Management

Hi Luciano,

Thanks for having a look at our questions.

1) Do you plan to issue further fundemantally indexed ETFs based on more sophisticated criteria than the sole dividend ? I have in mind an ETF based on Magic Formula Investing popularized by Joel Greenblatt or on similar formula which take into account ROIC, EBITDA/EV, B/V etc...

2) Fundamentally indexed ETF are getting huge increases in assets under management. Do you think that in a few years they will reach such a huge amount of assets under management that it will be more difficult for value/contrarian investors to pick up bargains since once a valuation threshold is reached there will be "automatic" buyers with lot of capital available to buy unloved stocks ?
