the actual fluctuations. - This list does not cover all risks-furtherrisks are disclosed in the KIID and Prospectus

What's Hot: The geopolitical turning point for Europe and Japan
The Iran-US MOU marks a turning point for European and Japanese equities. With geopolitical risk unwinding, economic surprise indices improving, ECB policy easing, and Germany's defence spending accelerating, Europe's re-rating is underway. Japan benefits from AI supply chain breadth, the Bank of Japan's gradual policy normalisation, the resumption of trade following Middle East disruptions, and energy cost relief. WisdomTree offers compelling, cost-effective access to both opportunities.

Renewable energy is catching a second wind
Back in 1973, an oil shock changed the way the world thought about energy. More than fifty years later, geopolitical tensions, rising electricity demand from artificial intelligence (AI) and record renewable energy deployment are once again putting the sector in the spotlight. This blog explores why renewable energy is catching a second wind, how China is driving much of the growth, and why some emerging technologies may finally have found their moment. Investors, it seems, are keen to make hay while the sun is shining.

Beijing Without Breakthroughs: What the Trump–Xi Summit Means for Investors
The Trump–Xi Beijing summit delivered managed stability, not structural change. Technology, critical minerals and Taiwan remain unresolved. For investors, two themes stand out: Western supply chain diversification in strategic metals and rare earths, and durable agricultural commodity exposure driven by food security and climate risk, not diplomacy.

Index Details
WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity UCITS Index
The index is rules-based, fundamentally weighted and is comprised of the dividend-paying companies from Japan, selected based on global revenue exposure and risk-filtered using a composite risk score ("CRS") screening which is made up of two factors (quality and momentum) each carrying an equal weighting. The share class seeks to deliver exposure to the index while at the same time neutralising exposure to fluctuations of the Japanese Yen, relative to the US Dollar by implementing a hedging methodology used in the hedged index. The index excludes companies which do not meet WisdomTree’s ESG (environmental, social and governance) criteria.
To be included in the index, companies must meet certain risk management criteria, as well as minimum liquidity requirements, WisdomTree’s ESG screen and have paid dividends over the prior annual cycle.
The index on rebalancing date is comprised of the companies which derive less than 80% of revenue from Japan and which have met CRS and ESG criteria. The component companies are then weighted annually in the index based on dividends paid over the prior annual cycle. Companies which pay more dividends are more heavily weighted and as well as the companies in the top 20% by CRS.
