    If a short squeeze started to develop in an ETF, wouldn't an institutional invester simply deposit a large amount of money and "create" a large number of new shares? That should collapse the squeeze. Reply

    6 times outstanding shares? Wow.

    Those the buying and selling of these ETFs actually impact the price of the underlying index somehow? Does a short squeeze in the ETFs entail a short squeeze in all stocks represented by the ETF?     Reply

    International ETFs: Profitable But Still Risky [view article]
    What's with the "some would" phrase? Do you believe this drawdown theory is the proper way to express relative risk? Your bio says you're a risk expert -- is this the way you calculate risk, using this drawdown statistic? Reply

    Finding A Telecom ETF With International Exposure [view article]
    Not sure you can compare the Wisdom Tree ETF to the iShares ETF, because the Wisdom Tree ETF holds no US stocks. It's designed to add to US sector ETFs -- in this case, you'd use the iShares US Telecom Sector ETF and add the Wisdom Tree International Telecom Sector ETF, and that way you can control the degree of foreign exposure.

    Richard, this link takes you to a summary of the selection requirements for WisdomTree’s dividend indexes. I believe you can find the answer to your questions here, as some of these thresholds vary depending on whether it is a domestic index or one covering non-U.S. securities in other developed equity markets.

    Richard,
    The WisdomTree Indexes were created by WisdomTree Investments after years of extensive research. As Director of Research, I work with a team of professionals to oversee the operation of the indexes. WisdomTree Asset Management, a registered investment adviser, oversees the operations of each ETF, including the portfolio management and the operation of the other service providers to the Funds. BNY Investment Advisors serves as the sub-advisor with respect to the day-to-day portfolio management and operations of each WisdomTree ETF. As sub-adviser, BNYIA is responsible for executing portfolio transactions. The WisdomTree indexes are calculated, maintained and disseminated by an independent index calculation agent. WisdomTree has been fortunate to attract seasoned management from within the ETF industry to help manage its ETF business. More information on WisdomTree’s role as investment adviser and BNY Investment Advisors role as sub-adviser can be found in the WisdomTree ETFs’ Statement of Additional Information or “SAI”. The SAI can be found on wisdomtree.com in the “Library” section.     Reply

    Richard,

    Since we have so many different indexes, measuring different regions and market capitalizations, I really am not able to generalize on how the returns of the WisdomTree indexes compare to specific indexes. So the best thing I can do is point you to information about the performance of our indexes available at wisdomtreeindexes.com. The FTSE/RAFI indexes you mentioned select, rank and weight stocks by a variety of fundamental metrics. Philosophically, we support that approach. However, we believe our approach is more transparent (our complete methodology is fully disclosed at wisdomtreeindexes.com) and easier to understand (since we focus on a single factor: dividends). We believe you are absolutely right in focusing on relatively low fees as one of the reasons for the success of traditional ETFs. This is an important area often overlooked by some investors. Expense ratios for WisdomTree ETFs are disclosed at wisdomtree.com. We invite you to draw your own conclusions as to whether the WisdomTree ETFs offer a meaningful advantage in terms of fees. If you wish to calculate “spreads,” you will need to do the math, depending on which cap-weighted ETF you choose to compare to.     Reply
