Monday, May 20, 11:54 AM Maybe the best synthetic way to play the dramatic changes in Japan (yen down, stocks up) is U.S. ETF provider WisdomTree (WETF). It's up 2.5% today - pushing its YTD gain to nearly 125% - as its Japan Hedged Equity Fund (DXJ) moves past $10B in AUM. The once-tiny fund has received about $7B in inflows this year and now threatens EWJ ($12.26B AUM) for dominance in the Japan ETF space. 2 Comments [Financials, On the Move]
Wednesday, May 15, 3:26 PM The Japanese bull market is too big of a deal to try and get cute, says Jeff Gundlach (video), advising not to try and time a market up 66% in 6 months. If QE is your reason for owning U.S. stocks, he says, why not pile into Japan (EWJ) where the asset purchase program is far larger? Maybe as leveraged as anything to the Japanese bull market is American ETF provider WisdomTree (WETF +3.5%), more than doubling this year as its hedged Japan equity fund (DXJ) reels in billions in assets. 4 Comments [Global & FX]
Monday, May 6, 3:10 PM WisdomTree (WETF +7%) surges higher again - now a double for the year - but Morgan Stanley sticks to its "equal-weight" call, remaining bullish on company prospects, but believing the stock may have run too far. The analysts say they'll turn more positive when strong asset growth comes from something other than one product - the hedged Japan equity ETF (DXJ). Comment! [Financials]
Thursday, May 2, 1:17 PM Mario Draghi's hint of negative interest rates -which sent the euro tumbling this morning - might perk up investor interest in WisdomTree's (WETF) Europe Hedged Equity ETF (HEDJ +1.3%). WisdomTree has scored big-time this year as its previously little-known Japan Hedged Equity Fund (DXJ) has raked in assets. Unhedged Europe ETFs: EZU, VGK, FEZ, EPV, IEV, ADRU, FEP, FDD, UPV, DFE. Comment! [Global & FX, Quick Ideas, Financials]
Monday, April 29, 3:41 PM Trying to build on the success of its $4.5B Emerging Markets Equity Income Fund (DEM), WisdomTree (WETF) looks for more specific niches, filing to launch 3 new ETFs - the EM Consumer Growth Fund, the EM Low Volatility Fund, and the EM Dividend Growth Fund. No tickers or proposed expense ratios are yet available. 1 Comment [Financials]
Friday, April 26, 7:44 AM More on WisdomTree (WETF) Q1 earnings: ETF AUM of $25.1B up 37% sequentially, up 60% Y/Y, with the Japan Hedged Equity Fund (DXJ) accounting for $3.9B of Q1's $5.9B of net inflows. Market share of industry net inflows of 10.8% vs. 1.9% in Q4. Company is in sweet spot as size passing a certain point means new money drops more quickly to bottom line: Pre-tax margin of 27%, up from 22% in Q4, 6% in Q1. Conference call at 9 ET (presentation slides). Shares +1% premarket. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Financials]
Friday, April 26, 7:10 AM WisdomTree (WETF): Q1 EPS of $0.06 in-line. Revenue of $29.3M (+53% Y/Y) beats by $0.39M. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News]
Friday, April 26, 12:05 AM Notable earnings before Friday’s open: ABBV, AEP, AON, ARLP, B, BKW, BPO, COV, CVX, DHI, DLR, DTE, FLIR, GDI, GNC, GT, HMSY, IMGN, ITRI, LAZ, LYB, MPW, NOV, SPG, TRP, TYC, VFC, VTR, WETF, WY Comment! [Earnings]

Monday, April 22, 10:02 AM WisdomTree (WETF) preps the launch of the Germany Hedged Equity Fund - designed to track the company's dividend-weighted index of German stocks while zeroing out currency fluctuations between the greenback and the euro. It's the same recipe the company put to work with Japanese stocks (DXJ) - a blockbuster success this year. Comment! [Financials]
Friday, April 12, 9:51 AM WisdomTree (WETF) files for the launch of a small-cap version of its wildly popular Japan hedged equity fund (DXJ). Moving away from Japan but keeping with the currency-hedged theme, the company is also planning similar funds for Korea and the U.K. 1 Comment [Global & FX, Financials]
Wednesday, April 3, 9:31 AM WisdomTree's (WETF) Japan Hedged Equity Fund (DXJ) is the ETF story of 2013, pulling in about $4B in AUM in Q1 (it started the year with just $1.6B) as investors got bullish on Japanese shares and bearish on the yen. The flows pushed WisdomTree to the #6 spot on the U.S. ETF industry league table with AUM of $25.1B, and helped the stock to a 69% gain YTD. 1 Comment [Financials]
Tuesday, April 2, 10:23 AM "It's too good of a long-term strategic play to try and get cute," says Jeff Gundlach, advising not to try and time his long Japanese stocks/short yen idea even as it's seemingly run too far too fast. The DXJ - maybe the ETF story of the year (along with sponsor WETF) - tumbled 5% yesterday, hit by a combination of a diving Nikkei and rising yen (FXY). Comment! [Global & FX, Quick Ideas]
Wednesday, March 20, 3:40 PM Enjoying a great run of inflows from its currency-hedged Japan Fund (DXJ), is WisdomTree (WETF) planning something similar for European shares? Director of Research Jeremy Schwartz shows how a hedged strategy lowers the risk of owning stocks across the pond. 1 Comment [Financials]
Thursday, March 14, 11:58 AM "The barriers to entry are rising - not falling - within the ETF industry," says Citi's William Katz, commenting on the Fidelity/BlackRock (BLK) deal. Scale is "paramount" and nearly 70% of global ETP assets are held by the largest 3 players. Bad news for WisdomTree (WETF)? Hardly, as the move reinforces the "scarcity value" for existing platforms. Comment! [Financials, Quick Ideas]
Wednesday, March 13, 9:24 AM Mutual fund giant Fidelity broadens and extends an agreement with ETF giant BlackRock (BLK) to give its 10M customers improved access to iShares products. The new deal will more than double Fidelity's commission-free ETF offerings and create new portfolio strategies for using the funds. The move follows Schwab's (SCHW) OneSource, which made 105 ETFs available commission-free. Comment! [Financials]
