    I think its unfair to list NETS etfs in this list even though they have very few assets.NETS launched a whole bunch of these country specific etfs like DAX for Germany recently. So it may take some time before they grow. What do other readers think? Reply

    also etns may be easier to create by issuer than etfs
    if a demand appears
    the issue is whether ubs feels it pays to have resources devoted to a 5 mln indexed certificate of deposit (uag)

    plus timing, nets may take some time to take off     Reply

    Global Junk Bond Default Rate Doubles in 5 Months - Moody's [view article]
    Virtually One Hundred Percent of debt currently rated "junk" will default over next 12-18 months. Why is Moody's still here? Why are any of the ratings agencies or Money Center banks still asked for an opinion??
    The credit crunch will eat junk alive.     Reply

    As the talking heads on TV say...There is nothing to see here, everything is fine, the rebound will come in the second half just twenty days away.

    That's funny.     Reply

    Niki -- I started working on an answer for you but the clock ran out on me.

    To the Seeking Alpha Community:

    I made a few additional posts below, that I actually posted earlier in the day. Thanks to all of your for questions. Sorry I could not get to answer all of them. They were great. I hope to interact with you again in the future.

    Best,

    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

    Neil, thanks for the question and the support. I can’t comment on WisdomTree’s stock or the operations of our company. However, I am, like you, bullish on the future of the ETF industry. Do you know anyone who is bearish on the future of the ETF industry? Reply

    Thanks for the question. I understand that there are active traders who use ETFs to implement a variety of trading strategies, just as there are many financial professionals who use ETFs to help implement long-term investing plans. That is a credit to the ETF structure that it can serve so many, sometimes contradictory, needs. Many people view ETFs as tools or building blocks that can help add flexibility and diversity to a well-balanced portfolio in order to help achieve short-term and long-term strategies. I think there is merit to this approach. However, as someone who understands how well passive index investing has served investors over long holdings periods, I will refrain from saying anything that encourages active trading. Reply

    Hello, Vincenzo:

    WisdomTree Investments is committed to innovation and we will continue to evaluate the merits of various passive, rules-based, investment strategies that can serve investors. We believe our first family of fundamentally-weighted... dividend ETFs are gaining market acceptance because they track transparent, unique and easily understood indexes that measure broad segments of the developed world. To the extent we can create products that are additive to or complement what we have done already we will, but I can’t comment on any specific applications at this time because of SEC regulations.

    Secondly, assets under management for fundamentally weighted indexes are growing rapidly, but one must realize that we are talking about growth from small absolute levels. There are trillions of dollars linked to capitalization-weighte... indexes and many trillions more in active mutual funds. I think we are many years away before the level of assets under management tied to fundamentally-weighted indexes can make a meaningful impact on the overall prices of stocks in the market. So I think we are a very long way away from any kind of equilibrium that would, in theory, arbitrage away price inefficiencies in stocks that may exist.     Reply

    Thanks Luciano! This would be an interesting thing for, say Roger Nusbaum or J.D Steinhilber, to look at: the performance of ETFs and ETF portfolios versus the hedge fund indexes. Guys???? :-) Reply
