February 17 2022 - 8:30AM
WisdomTree Investments, Inc. (NASDAQ: WETF), an exchange-traded
fund (“ETF”) and exchange-traded product (“ETP”) sponsor and asset
manager, announced today the launch of the WisdomTree Battery Value
Chain and Innovation Fund (WBAT) on the CBOE. WBAT seeks to track
the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the
WisdomTree Battery Value Chain and Innovation Index (WTBAT), and
has an expense ratio of 0.45%.
“As the world shifts towards renewable energy, due to
environmental and technological drivers, we expect a growing demand
for electric vehicles and the batteries central to their
development,” said Jeremy Schwartz, Global Chief Investment Officer
at WisdomTree. “The WisdomTree Battery Value Chain and Innovation
Fund (WBAT) was built for investors looking to gain exposure to
battery technologies and the megatrend of energy
transformation.”
WisdomTree is focused on bringing many of our innovative
solutions to a global investor base; WBAT joins the $541 million1
strategy the WisdomTree Battery Solutions UCITS ETF (VOLT), which
WisdomTree Europe launched on the London Stock Exchange, Borsa
Italiana and Börse Xetra in March 2020.

exposure that seeks to identify companies in the value chain of
battery and energy storage solutions (“BESS”), and innovation, WBAT

- Manufacturing - companies that process battery
materials or otherwise develop, build or manufacture battery cells,
