In 2006, WisdomTree launched with a big idea and an impressive mission — to create a better way to invest. We believed investors shouldn’t have to choose between cost efficiency and performance potential, so we developed the first family of ETFs designed to deliver both. Our strategies combine the promise of active management, such as the potential of outperformance against a benchmark, with the benefits of passive management to create ETFs built for performance. WisdomTree has launched many first-to-market ETFs and pioneered alternative weighting methods commonly referred to as “smart beta.” But our ETFs are not beta, smart or otherwise—they are an investment innovation we call "Modern Alpha®".
