WisdomTree Investments, Inc. (NASDAQ: WETF), an exchange-traded
fund (“ETF”) and exchange-traded product (“ETP”) sponsor and asset
manager, today announced that the WisdomTree Floating Rate Treasury
Fund (USFR) was named ETF of the Year at the 2019 Mutual Fund
Industry & ETF Awards. In addition, the WisdomTree Emerging
Markets ex-State-Owned Enterprises Fund (XSOE) was named ESG/Impact
ETF of the Year.
ETF of the Year: WisdomTree Floating Rate Treasury Fund
(USFR)
- This award is given to the most successful ETF as determined by
a combination of several elements, such as flows, performance,
innovation and fund objectives.
ESG/Impact ETF of the Year: WisdomTree Emerging Markets
ex-State-Owned Enterprises Fund (XSOE)
- This award is given to the most successful ETF focused on
issues related to environmental, social and governance factors or
specific ESG objectives. Success is determined by a combination of
several factors, such as flows, performance and innovation.
“USFR was one of the fastest growing ETFs in 2018, growing from
$1 million in assets to more than $2 billion in assets today. This
strong growth has continued into 2019, as investors seek innovative
fixed income solutions that can help meet strategic investment
needs,” said Kevin Flanagan, WisdomTree Head of Fixed Income
Strategy.
In addition to the firm’s focus on fixed income solutions,
WisdomTree continues to build out its suite of non-state-owned
enterprise ETFs, with the most recent launch of the WisdomTree
India ex-State-Owned Enterprises Fund (IXSE). Excluding state-owned
companies allow the funds to focus on corporate governance, or the
“G” in ESG.

the people and organizations whose excellence, achievements and
contributions to the mutual fund industry have stood out over the
past 12 months. The awards included an expanded slate of categories
recognizing the top performers and innovators in the growing ETF
market.
