WTEUDFWisdomTree Europe Defense IndexThe WisdomTree Europe Defense Index tracks companies that are domiciled and listed in developed European markets and generate at least 10% of their revenue from defense-related activities, such as military hardware, electronics, propulsion, and space or cyber-defense systems. Eligible constituents must have a minimum free-float market capitalization of USD 300 million and an average three-month daily trading volume of at least USD 2 million. Each company is assigned an “Exposure Score” of 1 to 3, based on the percentage of revenue derived from defense: 10–25% earns a score of 1, 25–50% earns a 2, and more than 50% earns a 3. The index targets a minimum of 20 constituents. If fewer than 20 companies meet the criteria, the revenue threshold is relaxed in 1% increments—never going below 5%—until the minimum count is achieved. At each semi-annual rebalance (in March and September), constituents are weighted by free-float market cap multiplied by their exposure score, with weight caps of 12.5% for Exposure Score 3 names and 7.5% for all others.
