Gold’s Role in Modern Portfolios

Published July 9, 2026

Gold is taking on a broader role in portfolios—serving as a diversifier across inflation, growth, and market stress, not just a hedge against downturns. Adding it has traditionally required stepping back from stocks or bonds, a trade-off WisdomTree's Efficient Gold ETFs are designed to eliminate. Explore how GDE, GDMN, and GDT help investors layer gold into a portfolio without reducing core equity exposure.

Important Risks or Disclosure

Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Fund before investing. For a prospectus or, if available, the summary prospectus containing this and other important information about the Fund, call 866.909.9473 or visit WisdomTree.com/us. Read the prospectus or, if available, the summary prospectus carefully before investing.

There are risks associated with investing, including possible loss of principal. Foreign investing involves special risks, such as risk of loss from currency fluctuation or political or economic uncertainty.

WisdomTree Efficient Gold Plus Equity Strategy Fund (GDE): The Fund is actively managed and invests in U.S. listed gold futures and U.S. equity securities. The Fund’s use of U.S. listed gold futures contracts will give rise to leverage, magnifying gains and losses and causing the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged. Moreover, the price movements in gold and gold futures contracts may fluctuate quickly and dramatically, and have a historically low correlation with the returns of the stock and bond markets. While the Fund is actively managed, the Fund's investment process is heavily dependent on quantitative models and the models may not perform as intended.

WisdomTree Efficient Gold Plus Gold Miners Strategy Fund (GDMN): The Fund is actively managed and invests in U.S.-listed gold futures and global equity securities issued by companies that derive at least 50% of their revenue from the gold mining business (“Gold Miners”). The Fund’s use of U.S.-listed gold futures contracts will give rise to leverage, magnifying gains and losses and causing the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged. Moreover, the price movements in gold and gold futures contracts may fluctuate quickly and dramatically, and have a historically low correlation with the returns of the stock and bond markets. By investing in the equity securities of Gold Miners, the Fund may be susceptible to financial, economic, political, or market events that impact the gold mining sub-industry, including commodity prices and the success of exploration projects. The Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in the securities of companies of a single country or region, including emerging markets, and thus, the Fund is more likely to be impacted by events and political, economic, or regulatory conditions affecting that country or region, or emerging markets generally. While the Fund is actively managed, the Fund’s investment process is heavily dependent on quantitative models and the models may not perform as intended.

WisdomTree Efficient TIPS Plus Gold Fund (GDT): There are risks associated with investing including possible loss of principal. The Fund invests in a portfolio composed of Inflation-protected U.S. Treasury Bonds (“TIPS”) and U.S. listed gold futures contracts. The interest and principal payments of TIPS are adjusted for inflation and typically have lower yields than conventional fixed-rate bonds. The Fund’s income from TIPS may decline due to deflation or changes in inflation expectations. The value of gold and commodity-linked derivative instruments such as gold futures contracts typically is based upon the price movements of the physical commodity or an economic variable linked to such price movement. Price movements in gold and gold futures contracts may fluctuate quickly and dramatically, have a historically low correlation with the returns of the stock and bond markets. Derivatives are used by the Fund to gain exposure to inflation swaps and U.S. listed gold future contracts. Derivative investments can be volatile and may be less liquid than other investments. As a result, the value of an investment in the Fund may change quickly and without warning you may lose money. While the Fund is actively managed, the Fund's investment process is heavily dependent on quantitative models and the models may not perform as intended.
