Market Environment Overview

(unaudited)

 

The U.S. equity market, as measured by the S&P 500® Index, returned 19.66% for the 12-month fiscal period that ended August 31, 2018 (the “period”). The main drivers of positive returns included positive market sentiment following strong corporate earnings, reduced headwinds due to tax cuts and deregulation, gradual monetary policy normalization, and positive consumer and business survey data. However, this period also saw its first 10% market correction in nearly three years as volatility returned to U.S. equities after a multi-year stretch of low realized volatility. February 2018 is when the first bout of significant market volatility occurred, as the CBOE Volatility Index reached an intraday high of 50.30, a level not seen since 2015. However, in the months to follow, the markets would see both sharp rebounds before ultimately settling back to a path of normalcy. From the end of March 2018 through the end of the fiscal period, volatility decreased to more subdued levels.

The run-up during the second half of 2017 was characterized by the absence of significant market volatility in favor of generally steady gains. Positive economic sentiment powered equity markets forward, as indicated by stronger consumer and business survey data, and improved corporate profit growth numbers. Despite the positives, much of the attention that was put on the pro-growth fiscal stimulus softened substantially over the first six-months of 2018, as the market grappled with geopolitical risk in the form of ongoing discussions around trade wars and tariffs. Overall, large-cap companies lagged when compared to their mid-cap and small-cap counterparts. Small-cap companies, as represented by the Russell 2000 Index, returned 25.45% for the 12-month fiscal period. There continues to be risks that weigh heavily on the markets, particularly when it comes to whether the U.S. can make amicable trade deals with its major trading partner countries or avoid potential trade-war inducing policies.

The U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) continued to normalize monetary policy during this time. The Fed decided to raise their target interest rate three times in this fiscal period, once in 2017 and twice so far in 2018. Additionally, the Fed called for two additional rate hikes for the remainder of 2018, a slightly more hawkish approach than their previously documented stance, which called for only one more additional hike. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield has increased from 2.12% at the beginning of the period, to 2.86% at the end of the period; reaching a high of 3.11% in mid-May of 2018. The yield curve continued to flatten as short-term rates have increased more than long-term rates. The spread between 2-year and 10-year U.S. Treasury yields has decreased from 0.79% at the beginning of the period to 0.23% at the end of the period.

U.S. short-term and long-term interest rates, as measured by the Fed funds rate, the 2-Year U.S. Treasury Note rate and the 10-Year U.S. Treasury Note rate, rose 0.75%, 1.30%, and 0.74%, respectively over the period. U.S. short-term rates were driven by the Fed raising rates three times in 0.25% increments as they viewed measures of financial conditions positing the U.S. economy’s ability to withstand monetary tightening. With geopolitical concerns and continued rate normalization policies, interest rate volatility picked up on the longer end of the curve in the first six-months of 2018. This volatility was somewhat exacerbated by the hawkish sentiment when the Fed signaled for an additional rate hike for the remainder of 2018; equaling four hikes total by the end of the 2018 calendar year.

During the last four months of 2017, investment grade and high yield spreads, as measured by the ICE BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. Corporate Master Option-Adjusted Spread and the ICE BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Option-Adjusted Spread, both tightened 0.17% and 0.22%, respectively, to finish near multi-year lows. However, spreads in the first eight months of 2018 have seen very different paths. Investment grade spreads in 2018 have widened by 0.22%, while high-yield spreads have actually continued to tighten by 0.14%. In 2018, high-yields spreads are experiencing newfound swings of volatility alongside equity markets.

Emerging market (“EM”) assets have seen substantial volatility over the period. EM equities, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, returned 4.32% in local currency terms and -0.68% in U.S. dollar terms over the period. For much of the period

Market Environment Overview

(unaudited) (concluded)

 

 

(particularly from February 2018 onward) broad strength in the U.S. dollar hurt foreign EM currencies. A handful of countries (South Africa, Russia, Argentina, Brazil, and Turkey) experienced even greater negative performance due to political and/or economic shocks. Specifically, we saw the near collapse of two EM currencies in the Turkish lira (-47.20%) and the Argentinean peso (-52.98%) over the period. The Turkish lira fell in part because of a dispute the U.S. and Turkey had over a pastor being detained in Turkey, which resulted in harsh sanctions being placed on Turkey by the U.S. In addition, Turkey has experienced rampant inflation alongside deteriorating economic data. Similarly, Argentina has experienced similar drops in its currency. Hyperinflation is very prevalent in the country, with the central bank’s balance sheet becoming bloated with a supply of pesos in excess of what is being demanded. Inability to enact economic reforms, declining wage growth, and requesting an IMF bailout are just a few of the reasons for the large declines. These negative drawdowns in the Turkish lira and Argentinean peso have had a spillover effect with other EM currencies as well.

Many EM countries have economies heavily reliant on the performance of the energy market, making the stabilization of oil prices a major factor. One of the biggest drivers for the positive performance has been the price movement in oil, as the price of crude oil futures have risen from $47 per barrel at the start of the fiscal period to $70 per barrel at the end of the fiscal period, reaching a high of $74 at the end of June 2018. While we have seen large gains in energy prices, we have seen nearly the opposite for precious metals. Gold, silver, platinum, and copper, for example, have seen large drops over the fiscal period. Corn, wheat, and cotton have seen positive gains, while soybeans, coffee, and sugar have seen double digit drops over the period. Much of the agriculture commodity price moves continue to be swayed heavily by decisions in tariffs and trade war tactics with the U.S. and its trading partner countries, with volatility expected to continue.

On the currency front, the U.S. dollar has seen declines from its highs in the fall of 2017 through the first couple months in 2018. From August 31, 2017 through February 28, 2018, this U.S. dollar weakness helped in strengthening the British pound (+6.42%), the Japanese yen (+3.09%), and the Euro (+2.38%). However, from February 2018 through the end of the period, the U.S. dollar has strengthened considerably, with most developed markets and EM currencies experiencing negative returns. Currencies of heavy commodity exporters such as the Norwegian krone and Canadian dollar have ended the fiscal year negative. Yields in emerging market bonds (both sovereign and corporates) rose during the period, resulting in negative performance. Also, locally-denominated EM sovereign debt returns were negative during the period, resulting from rising local bond yields, and depreciating EM currencies.

Information about Performance and Shareholder Expense Examples (unaudited)

Performance

The performance tables on the following pages are provided for comparative purposes and represent the period noted. Each Fund’s per share NAV is the value of one share of the Fund and is calculated by dividing the value of total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund and the market price return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The price used to calculate market price returns is the midpoint of the bid and ask price for Fund shares as of the close of trading on the exchange where Fund shares are listed. NAV and market price returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV and market price, respectively. As with other ETFs, NAV returns and market price returns may differ because of factors such as the supply and demand for Fund shares and investors’ assessments of the underlying value of a Fund’s portfolio securities.

Fund shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from a Fund. Fund NAV returns are calculated using a Fund’s daily 4:00 p.m. eastern time NAV. Market price returns reflect the midpoint of the bid and ask price as of the close of trading on the exchange where Fund shares are listed. Market price returns do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. The returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. Total returns for a period of less than one year are cumulative.

Performance is historical and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. Investment returns and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

An index is a statistical measure of a specified financial market or sector. An index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities, incur expenses or pay any transaction costs. Therefore, index returns do not reflect deductions for fees or expenses and an index is not available for direct investment. In comparison, the Funds’ performance is negatively impacted by these deductions. Fund returns do not reflect brokerage commissions or taxes on transactions in Fund shares or taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. For the most recent month-end performance information visit www.wisdomtree.com.

Shareholder Expense Examples

Each Fund’s performance table is accompanied by a shareholder expense example. As a shareholder of a WisdomTree Fund, you incur two types of cost: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of your Fund shares and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from March 1, 2018 to August 31, 2018. Except where noted, expenses are calculated using each Fund’s annualized expense ratio (after the effect of contractual or voluntary fee waivers, if any), multiplied by the average account value for the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The annualized expense ratio does not include acquired fund fees and expenses (“AFFEs”), which are fees and expenses incurred indirectly by a Fund through its investments in certain underlying investment companies.

Actual expenses

The first line in the shareholder expense example table shown on the following pages provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The second line in the shareholder expense example table shown on the following pages provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Fund shares. Therefore, the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing Fund costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

The WisdomTree Bloomberg U.S. Dollar Bullish Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks to provide total returns, before fees and expenses, that exceed the performance of the Bloomberg Dollar Total Return Index (the ‘‘Index’’). The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in short-term securities and instruments designed to potentially benefit as the U.S. dollar appreciates in value relative to a basket of global currencies. Although the Fund invests in short-term, investment grade instruments, the Fund is not a ‘‘money market’’ fund and it is not the objective of the Fund to maintain a constant share price.

The Fund returned 4.25% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2018 (for more complete performance information please see the performance table below). During the fiscal year, the U.S. dollar has strengthened against most developed and emerging currencies, with much of the broad resurgence coming from April 2018 onward. The two largest exposures in the Fund, the Euro and the Japanese yen, ended relatively flat over the fiscal period. Most notably, the Fund’s short currency exposure to the Australian dollar contributed positively to performance while its short currency exposure to the Swiss franc contributed negatively to performance.

The WisdomTree Brazilian Real Strategy Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks to achieve total returns reflective of both money market rates in Brazil available to foreign investors and changes in value of the Brazilian real (“BRL”) relative to the U.S. dollar. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in short-term securities and instruments designed to provide exposure to Brazilian currency and money market rates. The Brazilian real is a developing market currency, which can experience periods of significant volatility. Although the Fund invests in short-term, investment grade instruments, the Fund is not a ‘‘money market’’ fund and it is not the objective of the Fund to maintain a constant share price.

The Fund returned -19.76% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2018 (for more complete performance information please see the performance table below). Emerging Market currencies broadly, specifically the BRL, have performed poorly over the fiscal year, due to a resurgence in the U.S. dollar. Much of the headwinds that Brazil has been experiencing is due to the culmination of various factors, such as upcoming local elections in October 2018, fluctuating commodity prices, and declining economic fundamentals. Further, poor performance in other Emerging Market currencies, especially in Turkey, Argentina, and South Africa, has carried over and negatively impacted the BRL. Additionally, there may be continued volatility in the BRL in the foreseeable future, as the market lacks clarity that an investor friendly candidate will win the upcoming Brazilian presidential election.

The WisdomTree Chinese Yuan Strategy Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks to achieve total returns reflective of both money market rates in China available to foreign investors and changes in value of the Chinese yuan relative to the U.S. dollar. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in short-term securities and instruments designed to provide exposure to Chinese currency and money market rates. The Chinese yuan is a developing market currency, which can experience periods of significant volatility. Although the Fund invests in short-term, investment grade instruments, the Fund is not a ‘‘money market’’ fund and it is not the objective of the Fund to maintain a constant share price.

The Fund returned -0.20% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2018 (for more complete performance information please see the performance table below). Although, over the fiscal period local currencies have remained fairly range bound, there have been more headwinds of late, in the form of a strengthening U.S. dollar. The Chinese yuan has been under pressure due to a gradually slowing economy, and more importantly, rising trade tensions with the U.S. Increased tariffs from the U.S. continue to weigh on the Chinese yuan. However, officials from both countries continue to restart trade talks in hopes to strike a deal and prevent any further escalation in the trade war.

The WisdomTree Emerging Currency Strategy Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks to achieve total returns reflective of both money market rates in selected emerging market (“EM”) countries available to foreign investors and changes to the value of these currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in short-term securities and instruments designed to provide exposure to the currencies and money market rates of selected EM countries. EM currencies can experience periods of significant volatility. Although the Fund invests in short-term, investment grade instruments, the Fund is not a ‘‘money market’’ fund and it is not the objective of the Fund to maintain a constant share price.

The Fund returned -6.11% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2018 (for more complete performance information please see the performance table below). EM currencies broadly have performed poorly over the fiscal year due to a recent resurgence in the U.S. dollar. Much of the negative market sentiment is a direct result of various factors; such as fluctuating commodity prices, declining economic fundamentals, slowing global growth, trade wars/tariffs, and a spillover effect from poor foreign currency performance in Turkey, Argentina, and South Africa. In the face of broad EM headwinds, the Fund’s currency exposure to Malaysia contributed positively to performance, while its currency exposure to Turkey contributed negatively to performance.

The WisdomTree Asia Local Debt Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks a high level of total return consisting of both income and capital appreciation. The Fund attempts to achieve its objective through investments in fixed income instruments denominated in the currencies of a broad range of Asian countries.

The Fund returned -3.56% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2018 (for more complete performance information please see the performance table below). Emerging market currencies broadly have performed poorly over the fiscal year, due to a resurgence in the U.S. dollar. Much of the reason for the headwinds in broad emerging markets have been less as a result of Asian currencies and economies, and more so due to other emerging market countries and currencies. Still, emerging market currencies have generally experienced poor performance, particularly from spillover effects from depreciating currencies in Turkey, Argentina, and South Africa. Much of the pressures from the exposures in the Fund were derived from more geopolitical and regional risk, and rising interest rates. Trade tensions between the U.S. and China have put pressure on various local currencies, particularly the Chinese yuan. The Fund’s position in Malaysian local bonds contributed positively to performance, while its position in Australian local bonds contributed negatively to performance.

The WisdomTree Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks a high level of total return consisting of both income and capital appreciation. The Fund attempts to achieve its objective through investments in debt securities issued by corporate entities that are domiciled in, or economically tied to, emerging market countries.

The Fund returned -2.08% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2018 (for more complete performance information please see the performance table below). Security selection was the main positive driver of performance for the Fund. Within the Emerging Market fixed income asset classes, U.S. dollar-denominated corporate bonds outperformed their local currency debt counterparts. Currency crises in Turkey, Brazil, and elsewhere had spillover effects to other emerging local markets. Emerging Market corporate bonds issued in U.S. dollars were able to avoid much of this impact. Top contributors to Fund performance included the overweights to Russian Oil & Gas and Banking industry issuers, Kazakhstan Oil & Gas industry issuers, and Peruvian Metals & Mining industry issuers, as well as an underweight to Chinese issuers across various sectors. The main detractors to Fund performance included overweights to Turkish issuers, although strong security selection within Turkish banks helped reduce the detraction. Other detractors from performance included an Indian Mining industry issuer, a Colombian Communications industry issuer, and a broad underweight to the Middle East.

The WisdomTree Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks a high level of total return consisting of both income and capital appreciation. The Fund attempts to achieve its objective through investments in fixed income instruments denominated in the local currencies of emerging market countries.

The Fund returned -11.66% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2018 (for more complete performance information please see the performance table below). Emerging Market currencies broadly have performed poorly over the fiscal year, due to a resurgence in the U.S. dollar. Much of the negative market sentiment is a direct result of various factors; such as fluctuating commodity prices, declining economic fundamentals, slowing global growth, and trade wars/tariffs. The currencies of Turkey, Argentina, and South Africa had significant collapses over the fiscal year, which had a spillover effect to other Emerging Market currencies. In addition, rising interest rates in these regions have had a negative impact on bond prices, resulting in negative performance. The Fund’s position in South African local bonds contributed positively to performance, while its position in Turkish local bonds contributed negatively to performance.

The WisdomTree Floating Rate Treasury Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Floating Rate Bond Index (the ‘‘Index’’). In seeking to track the Index, the Fund invests in floating rate public obligations of the U.S. Treasury. The Fund generally uses a representative sampling strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it generally will invest in a sample of the securities in the Index whose risk, return and other characteristics resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Index as a whole.

The Fund returned 1.53% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2018 (for more complete performance information please see the performance table below). The floating rate nature of the securities used to effectuate the Fund’s investment strategy has allowed the Fund to benefit from rising short-term U.S. rates, and be protected from gradual rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”). Over the fiscal year, the Fed raised rates three times, and is expected to hike rates two more times in the second half of 2018. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield increased from 2.12% to 2.86%, the 5-year U.S. Treasury yield increased from 1.70% to 2.74%, the 2-year U.S. Treasury yield increased from 1.33% to 2.63%, and the 3-month U.S. Treasury yield increased from 0.99% to 2.09%.

The WisdomTree Interest Rate Hedged High Yield Bond Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the ICE BofA Merrill Lynch 0-5 Year U.S. High Yield Constrained, Zero Duration Index (the ‘‘Index’’). In seeking to track the Index, the Fund invests mainly in short-term non-investment grade U.S. corporate fixed income securities having effective maturities generally shorter than five years and obtains short exposure to U.S. Treasuries such that the Fund’s total portfolio duration approximates zero years. The Fund generally uses a representative sampling strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it generally will invest in a sample of the securities in the Index whose risk, return and other characteristics resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Index as a whole.

The Fund returned 5.68% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2018 (for more complete performance information please see the performance table below). As interest rates rose over the period, the Fund benefited from the short futures contract hedging out the Fund’s duration to zero. The Fund benefited from its exposure to credit bonds, and not investing in U.S. Treasury bonds over the period. High yield bonds tend to be less interest rate sensitive than other credit or treasury bonds, thus helping to contribute to overall performance in a rising rate environment. The Fund’s positions in energy corporations contributed positively to performance while bond issuer defaults contributed negatively to performance. During the fiscal year, the Fund invested in derivatives, specifically short futures contracts on U.S. Treasury bonds, to hedge against a rise in interest rates. At August 31, 2018, yields on 5-year, 10-year, and 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds all ended the period higher than where they began a year ago. As a result of the overall increase in U.S. Treasury yields, the Fund’s use of derivatives contributed positively to overall Fund performance during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018.

The WisdomTree Interest Rate Hedged U.S. Aggregate Bond Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Bloomberg Barclays Rate Hedged U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, Zero Duration (the ‘‘Index’’). In seeking to track the Index, the Fund invests mainly in U.S. investment grade fixed income securities and obtains short exposure to U.S. Treasuries such that the Fund’s total portfolio duration approximates zero years. The Fund generally uses a representative sampling strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it generally will invest in a sample of the securities in the Index whose risk, return and other characteristics resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Index as a whole.

The Fund returned 2.35% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2018 (for more complete performance information please see the performance table below). As interest rates rose over the period, the Fund benefited from the short futures contract hedging out the Fund’s duration to zero. The Fund’s position in short-term corporates contributed positively to performance, while its position in long end governments contributed negatively to performance. During the fiscal year, the Fund invested in derivatives, specifically short futures contracts on U.S. Treasury bonds, to hedge against a rise in interest rates. At August 31, 2018, yields on 5-year, 10-year, and 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds all ended the period higher than where they began a year ago. As a result of the overall increase in U.S. Treasury yields, the Fund’s use of derivatives contributed positively to overall Fund performance during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018.

The WisdomTree Negative Duration High Yield Bond Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the ICE BofA Merrill Lynch 0-5 Year U.S. High Yield Constrained, Negative Seven Duration Index (the ‘‘Index’’). In seeking to track the Index, the Fund invests mainly in short-term non-investment grade U.S. corporate fixed income securities having effective maturities generally shorter than five years and obtains short exposure to U.S. Treasuries such that the Fund’s total portfolio duration approximates negative seven years. The Fund generally uses a representative sampling strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it generally will invest in a sample of the securities in the Index whose risk, return and other characteristics resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Index as a whole.

The Fund returned 8.72% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2018 (for more complete performance information please see the performance table below). As interest rates rose over the period, the Fund benefited from the short futures contract hedging out the Fund’s duration to negative seven years. High yield bonds tend to be less interest rate sensitive than other credit or treasury bonds, thus helping to dampen the negative impact from a rising rate environment. In addition, the Fund’s negative duration positioning contributed even more so to positive performance. The Fund’s exposures in energy credits contributed positively to performance while bond issuer defaults contributed negatively to performance. During the fiscal year, the Fund invested in derivatives, specifically short futures contracts on U.S. Treasury bonds, to hedge against a rise in interest rates. At August 31, 2018, yields on 5-year, 10-year, and 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds all ended the period higher than where they began a year ago. As a result of the overall increase in U.S. Treasury yields, the Fund’s use of derivatives contributed positively to overall Fund performance during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018.

The WisdomTree Yield Enhanced U.S. Aggregate Bond Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Enhanced Yield Index (the ‘‘Index’’). In seeking to track the Index, the Fund invests mainly in U.S. investment grade fixed income securities. The Fund generally uses a representative sampling strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it generally will invest in a sample of the securities in the Index whose risk, return and other characteristics resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Index as a whole.

The Fund returned -1.44% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2018 (for more complete performance information please see the performance table below). Rising rates over the period negatively affected Fund performance. Investment grade spreads tightened from September 2017 through February 2018, but then expanded until the end of the current fiscal period, remaining relatively unchanged over the entire fiscal period. The Fund’s overweight to investment grade credit securities and underweight to U.S. Treasury securities selections contributed positively to performance. From a sector perspective, the Fund’s overweight to energy corporates contributed positively to Fund performance as energy prices in oil rose over the fiscal period. However, the Fund’s overweight to financials contributed negatively to performance. The Fund’s position in short-term corporates contributed positively to performance while its position in long end governments contributed negatively to performance. In addition, the Fund benefited from its overweight to Baa-rated bonds (rating levels from Aaa through Baa — ranked highest to lowest — constitute the “investment grade” portion of the credit spectrum) as spreads tightened throughout the bottom tier of the investment grade spectrum.

The WisdomTree Yield Enhanced U.S. Short-Term Aggregate Bond Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Short Aggregate Enhanced Yield Index (the ‘‘Index’’). In seeking to track the Index, the Fund invests mainly in short-term U.S. investment grade fixed income securities having effective maturities generally shorter than five years. The Fund generally uses a representative sampling strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it generally will invest in a sample of the securities in the Index whose risk, return and other characteristics resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Index as a whole.

The Fund returned -0.47% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2018 (for more complete performance information please see the performance table below). The Fund’s overweight to investment grade credit securities, along with an underweight to U.S. Treasury securities selections, contributed positively to performance. Security selection was mixed with a slight drag on performance as commercial mortgage backed securities were a small drag on returns offset by the Fund’s holdings in investment grade credit. Within investment grade credit, the Fund’s holdings of high quality consumer non-cyclical sector was the main detractor. As interest rates rose over the fiscal year, the Fund benefited from being short-term in nature, by only investing in bonds that mature within 1-5 years. In addition, the Fund benefited from its overweight to Baa-rated bonds (rating levels from Aaa through Baa — ranked highest to lowest — constitute the “investment grade” portion of the credit spectrum) as spreads tightened throughout the bottom tier of the investment grade spectrum.

The WisdomTree CBOE Russell 2000 PutWrite Strategy Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the CBOE Russell 2000 PutWrite Index (the ‘‘Index’’), a collateralized put write strategy on the Russell 2000 Index. The strategy is designed to receive a premium from the option buyer by selling (i.e. writing) a sequence of one-month, at-the-money, Russell 2000 Index put options.

The Fund returned 5.94% at net asset value (“NAV”) from February 1, 2018 (commencement of operations) through the end of the fiscal period on August 31, 2018. In 2017, the U.S. equity markets saw fairly consistent and low levels of volatility. However, in the first quarter of 2018, the markets saw a strong resurgence in market volatility, as the Chicago Board of Options Exchange Volatility Index, a measure of the market’s expectation for forward volatility, spiked by as much as 124% in a single trading day on February 5, 2018. In the 26 negative trading days for the Russell 2000 Index during the first quarter, the Russell 2000 PutWrite Strategy outperformed the Russell 2000 Index on every single negative day, providing on average delivered downside protection of approximately 0.41% on each down day. Following the spikes in early 2018, volatility subsided and returned to normalized levels for the remainder of the fiscal period through August 31, 2018. Over the entire fiscal period, the Fund’s positioning benefited as a result of the continued rise of the Russell 2000 Index, while providing downside protection during the bouts of market volatility.

The WisdomTree Managed Futures Strategy Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks to provide investors with positive total returns in rising or falling markets that are not directly correlated to broad market equity or fixed income returns. The Fund is managed using a quantitative, rules-based strategy and intends to invest in a combination of diversified futures contracts for commodities, currencies and interest rates.

The Fund returned 4.45% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2018 (for more complete performance information please see the performance table below). Over the fiscal year, crude oil commodity prices saw positive gains, as prices went from $50/barrel to approximately $70/barrel as a result of OPEC’s continued efforts to limit production globally, as well from the U.S.’s decision to start exporting its own supplies. Precious metals, such as gold, silver, platinum, and copper, saw negative performance over the fiscal period, as a sell-off in emerging markets has spilled into these key commodity resources. Agricultural commodity prices have varied, with wheat and cotton having positive performance over the period, and soybeans and coffee having negative performance over the period. Trade tensions between the U.S. and other countries continued to weigh heavily on commodity prices broadly during the fiscal year. Over the first half of the fiscal year, the U.S. dollar weakened relative to broad emerging market and developed market currencies. However, over the remaining six months, the U.S. dollar has strengthened considerably, leading to positive performance over the entire fiscal year. Towards the end of the fiscal year, some emerging market currencies depreciated significantly against the U.S. dollar. During the fiscal year, U.S. interest rates rose, as the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield increased from 2.12% to 2.86%, the 5-year U.S. Treasury yield increased from 1.70% to 2.74%, the 2-year U.S. Treasury yield increased from 1.33% to 2.63%, and the 3-month U.S. Treasury yield increased from 0.99% to 2.09%. Overall, the Fund’s exposure to the energy sector contributed positively to performance, while its positioning in grains detracted from performance.

CBOE® Russell 2000 PutWrite Index:

The CBOE® Russell 2000 PutWrite Index tracks the value of a cash-secured (i.e. collateralized) put option sales strategy, which consists of selling (or “writing”) Russell 2000® Index put options and investing the sale proceeds in one-month Treasury bills.

CBOE® S&P 500 PutWrite Index:

The CBOE® S&P 500 PutWrite Index tracks the value of a cash-secured (i.e. collateralized) put option sales strategy, which consists of selling (or “writing”) S&P 500® Index put options and investing the sale proceeds in one- and three-month Treasury bills.

Diversified Trends Indicator Index:

The Diversified Trends Indicator (“DTI”) Index is a long/short rules-based index that consists of ten commodity sectors and eight financial sectors. Each month the DTI Index sector exposure is rebalanced back to the fixed weights, 50% physical commodities and 50% financials (when energy is long) and approximately 40% commodities and 60% financials (when energy is flat). Each sector (other than the energy sector) is positioned either long or short depending on the current market environment (the energy sector is positioned as either “long” or “flat” (i.e., no exposure)). The DTI Index individual market components, sectors and related weightings, as well as other aspects of the calculation of the DTI Index, are subject to change at any time.

Equal-Weighted Emerging Currency Composite:

A composite incorporating equal-weighted exposure to the currencies within the Emerging Currency Strategy Fund was constructed as an additional gauge of Emerging Currency Strategy Fund performance. The composite tracks the returns for the currencies using the total returns of the country subindices of the JP Morgan Emerging Local Markets Index Plus (ELMI+). Each subindex uses a weighted basket of one-month, two-month and three-month currency forwards (deliverable or nondeliverable) collateralized with U.S. money market rates to proxy the total returns of an investment in local-currency money market instruments. Currency exposures are rebalanced back to equal-weighting at the end of the month in which the Emerging Currency Strategy Fund intends to rebalance, and currency changes are reflected in the composite at the end of the month they are reflected in the Fund.

Forward Currency Contracts:

A forward currency contract is an agreement to buy or sell a specific currency at a future date at a price set at the time of the contract. A forward contract may either be deliverable or non-deliverable. A deliverable forward currency contract is an agreement by two parties to transact in currencies at a specific rate on a future date upon which each party delivers the promised currency. A non-deliverable forward (“NDF”) currency contract is an agreement by two parties to transact in currencies at a specific rate on a future date and then cash settle the agreement with a simple exchange of the market value difference between the current market rate and the initial agreed-upon rate.

ICE BofA Merrill Lynch 0-5 Year U.S. High Yield Constrained, Negative Seven Duration Index:

The ICE BofA Merrill Lynch 0-5 Year U.S. High Yield Constrained, Negative Seven Duration Index tracks the performance of the combination of a long position in short maturity U.S. high yield bonds and a short position in on-the-run U.S. Treasuries where the net interest rate exposure of the index is adjusted to a negative seven year duration. Market values of long and short positions are rebalanced at month-end.

The JP Morgan Emerging Local Markets Index Plus (ELMI+) and its underlying country and regional subindices track the total returns for local-currency denominated money market instruments in emerging market countries.

JP Morgan Emerging Local Markets Index Plus (ELMI+) Brazil:

The returns are reported in U.S. dollar terms.

The NDF rate is the foreign exchange rate on non-deliverable forward currency contracts settled on a future date that is generally greater than two business days from the trade date. The Brazilian real spot return rate relative to the U.S. dollar calculated by WisdomTree is the rate of return percentage difference between the end of period spot and the beginning of period spot rate using WM/Reuters London closing rates. The Chinese yuan NDF return rate relative to the U.S. dollar calculated by WisdomTree is the rate of return percentage difference between the end of period NDF rate and the beginning of period NDF rate using WM/Reuters Singapore closing rates.

WisdomTree Managed Futures Index:

The WisdomTree Managed Futures Index is a long/short, rules-based index designed to provide exposure to a portfolio consisting of diversified futures contracts for commodities, currencies and interest rates. On a monthly basis, assets with lower realized volatility will be selected, and a determination to go long or short the futures contracts of the selected assets under a proprietary composite momentum framework will be made. The composite momentum framework incorporates multiple momentum signals to decide the direction and weight in the index.

In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations or that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes such exposure to be remote.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds:

Basis of Consolidation The financial statements of the Managed Futures Strategy Fund (the “Parent Fund”), include the accounts of WisdomTree Managed Futures Portfolio I, a wholly-owned and controlled Cayman Islands subsidiary (the “Subsidiary”). For the Parent Fund, the accompanying financial statements reflect the financial position and results of operations on a consolidated basis with its Subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Parent Fund seeks to gain exposure to commodity markets, in whole or in part, through investments in its Subsidiary. The Parent Fund’s investment in its Subsidiary may not exceed 25% of the Parent Fund’s total assets at the end of each fiscal quarter in order to meet the requirements for qualification as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities

at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in the net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment Valuation — The net asset value (“NAV”) of each Fund’s shares is calculated each day a Fund is open for business as of the regularly scheduled close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time (the “NAV Calculation Time”). NAV per share is calculated by dividing a Fund’s net assets by the number of Fund shares outstanding. Each Fund issues and redeems shares at NAV only in large blocks of shares known as creation units, which only certain institutions (e.g. broker-dealers) may purchase or redeem. Shares of each Fund are listed on a national securities exchange and trade at market prices. Most investors will buy and sell shares in the secondary market through brokers. Because Fund shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV or less than NAV. In calculating each Fund’s NAV, investments are valued under policies approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board of Trustees”). Fixed income securities (including short-term debt securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less and to-be-announced (“TBA”) securities) generally are valued at current market quotations or mean prices obtained from broker-dealers or independent pricing service providers. Broker-dealers or independent pricing service providers, in determining the value of securities, may consider such factors as recent transactions, indications from broker-dealers yields and quoted prices on similar securities, and market sentiment for the type of security. U.S. fixed income securities may be valued as of the announced closing time for such securities on any day that the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association announces an early closing time. Repurchase agreements are valued at par which represents their fair value. Except for U.S. Dollar Bullish Fund, foreign currency contracts are valued daily using WM/Reuters closing spot and forward rates as of 4:00 p.m. London time. U.S. Dollar Bullish Fund uses WM/Reuters closing spot and forward rates as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time to value foreign currency contracts daily. For the Chinese Yuan Strategy Fund, Emerging Currency Strategy Fund, Asia Local Debt Fund, Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund and the Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund, WM/Reuters closing spot and forward rates as of 2:00 p.m. Singapore time are used to value forward foreign currency contracts in the following Asian currencies: Chinese renminbi, Chinese yuan, Hong Kong dollar, Indian rupee, Indonesian rupiah, Malaysian ringgit, Philippine peso, Singapore dollar, South Korean won, Taiwan dollar, and the Thai baht. Futures contracts generally are valued at the settlement price, the price at which a futures contract settles once a given trading day has ended, on the primary exchange on which they trade. Option contracts generally are valued at the mean of the closing bid/ask price on which they trade. Equity securities (including preferred stock) traded on any recognized U.S. or non-U.S. exchange are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the exchange or system on which they are principally traded. Unlisted equity securities (including preferred stock) are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if no sale price is available, at the mean between the highest bid and lowest ask price. Each Fund may invest in money market funds which are valued at their NAV per share and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs” or “ETF”) or exchange-traded notes (“ETNs” or “ETN”) which are valued at their last sale or official closing price on the exchange on which they are principally traded or at their NAV per share in instances where the ETF or ETN has not traded on its principal exchange.

In certain instances, such as when reliable market valuations are not readily available or are not deemed to reflect current market values, a Fund’s investments, which include derivatives, will be fair valued in accordance with the Fund’s pricing policy. The Board of Trustees has established a pricing committee (the “Pricing Committee”) which is comprised of senior representatives of WisdomTree Asset Management, Inc. (“WTAM”) and which reports to the Board of Trustees on a quarterly basis. In the event that a financial instrument cannot be valued based upon a price from a national securities exchange, independent pricing service provider or broker-dealer quotation, or such prices are deemed to not reflect current market value, the Pricing Committee may value the financial instrument in good faith under the policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees based on current facts and circumstances. Securities that may be valued using “fair value” pricing may include, but are not limited to, securities for which there are no current market quotations, securities whose issuer is in default or bankruptcy, securities subject to corporate actions (such as mergers or reorganizations), securities subject to non-U.S. investment limits or currency controls, and securities affected by “significant events.” An example of a significant event is an event occurring after the close of the market in which a security trades but before a Fund’s next NAV Calculation Time that may materially affect the value of a Fund’s investment (e.g., government action, natural disaster, or significant market fluctuation). When fair value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a Fund to calculate its NAV may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities.

Fair Value Measurement — In accordance with Codification Topic 820 (“ASC 820”), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, fair value is defined as the price that each Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. ASC 820 established a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to be used when determining fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk — for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value (such as a pricing model) and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing

the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including each Fund’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuation are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.

Investments that use Level 2 or Level 3 inputs may include, but are not limited to: (i) an unlisted security related to corporate actions; (ii) a restricted security (e.g., one that may not be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended); (iii) a security whose trading has been suspended or which has been de-listed from its primary trading exchange; (iv) a security that is thinly traded; (v) a security in default or bankruptcy proceedings for which there is no current market quotation or market activity; (vi) a security affected by currency controls or restrictions; and (vii) a security affected by a significant event (e.g., an event that occurs after the close of the markets on which the security is traded but before the time as of which a Fund’s NAV is computed and that may materially affect the value of the Fund’s investments).

The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair market value measurements for Level 2 and Level 3 positions are as follows:

Financial instruments are generally valued by independent pricing service providers that use broker-dealer quotations, reported trades or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models. Depending on the type of financial instrument, the independent pricing service providers’ internal pricing models may use inputs that are observable such as issuer details, interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, credit risks/spreads, default rates and quoted prices for similar assets. Financial instruments that use similar valuation techniques and observable inputs as described above and have an appropriate level of market activity are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise a Level 3 fair value classification is appropriate. Over-the-counter financial derivative instruments derive their value from underlying asset prices, indices, reference rates, and other inputs or a combination of these factors. These instruments are normally valued on the basis of broker-dealer quotations or prices obtained from independent pricing service providers. Depending on the product and the terms of the transaction, the value of the financial derivative instruments can be estimated by an independent pricing service provider using a series of techniques including simulation pricing models. The pricing models use inputs that are observed from actively quoted markets such as issuer details, indices, credit risks/spreads, interest rates, yield curves, default and exchange rates. Derivative contracts that use valuation techniques and observable inputs as described above and have an appropriate level of market activity are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise a Level 3 fair value classification is appropriate.

Determination of a fair value by the Pricing Committee may include significant unobservable inputs and therefore would be reflected as a Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Pricing Committee may employ a market-based valuation approach which may use, among other potential considerations, related or comparable securities, recent transactions, market multiples, and other relevant information to determine fair value. The Pricing Committee may also use an income-based valuation approach in which anticipated future cash flows of the financial instrument are discounted to calculate fair value. The Pricing Committee meets at least on a monthly basis to review and discuss the appropriateness of such fair values using more current information such as, recent security news, recent market transactions, updated corporate action information and/or other macro or security specific events. Also, when observable inputs become available, the Pricing Committee conducts back testing of the methodologies used to value Level 3 financial instruments to substantiate the unobservable inputs used to value those investments. Such back testing includes comparing Level 3 investment values to observable inputs such as exchange-traded prices, transaction prices, and/or vendor prices.

The following is a summary of the fair valuations according to the inputs used as of August 31, 2018 in valuing each Fund’s assets:

Securities are being fair valued using significant unobservable inputs by the Pricing Committee.

During the fiscal year or period ended August 31, 2018, there were no significant transfers into or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Derivatives and Hedging Disclosure — Codification Topic 815 (“ASC 815”), Derivatives and Hedging, requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The Funds have invested in derivatives, specifically foreign currency contracts, futures contracts and options contracts during the year ended August 31, 2018 and open positions in such derivatives as of August 31, 2018 are detailed in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments. All of the derivative instruments disclosed and described herein are subject to credit risk. Credit risk is where the financial condition of an issuer of a security or instrument may cause it to default or become unable to pay interest or principal due on the security or where the counterparty to a derivative contract might default on its obligations. The Funds’ derivative agreements also contain credit-risk related contingent features which include, but are not limited to, a percentage decline in the Funds’ NAV over a specified time period. If an event occurred at August 31, 2018 that triggered a contingent feature, the counterparty to the agreement may require the Funds to post additional collateral or terminate the derivative positions and demand payment. Any collateral posted with respect to the derivative positions would be used to offset or reduce the payment. The maximum exposure to derivatives agreements with credit-risk related contingent features would be the total value of derivatives in net liability positions for each Fund, as disclosed on page 163. At August 31, 2018, no event occurred that triggered a credit-risk-related contingent feature. Information with respect to the amounts and types of collateral received and/or posted for derivative instruments as of August 31, 2018, if any, is reflected as a footnote below the respective derivatives tables on each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

As of August 31, 2018, the effects of such derivative instruments on each Fund’s financial position as reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are presented in the summary below:

Investment Transactions and Investment Income — Investment transactions are recorded as of the date that the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses on sales of portfolio securities are calculated using the identified-cost method. Interest income (including amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts), net of any foreign taxes withheld, is accrued daily. Generally, amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recognized daily using the interest method (also known as scientific amortization method). Payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest income is accrued daily and the increase in a security’s principal amount related to such PIK interest income is recorded on the coupon payment date. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date.

Foreign Currency Translation — The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, as well as investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions that are deemed appropriate by WTAM. Realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses on investments are included as a component of net realized gain (loss) from investment transactions and net increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from investment transactions, respectively, on the Statements of Operations. Realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses from foreign currency contracts are included in net realized gain (loss) from foreign currency contracts and net increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation/depreciation from foreign currency contracts, respectively, on the Statements of Operations. Realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arising from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses recognized between the trade and settlement dates on investment transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends/interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid are included in net realized gain (loss) from foreign currency related transactions and/or increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies in the Statements of Operations. Certain foreign exchange gains and losses included in realized and unrealized gains or losses are included in, or are a reduction of, ordinary income in accordance with U.S. Federal income tax regulations.

Expenses/Reimbursements — Under the investment advisory agreement for each Fund, except for Funds that commenced operations on or after March 26, 2013, WTAM has agreed to pay all expenses of the Trust, except for: (i) brokerage expenses and other expenses (such as stamp taxes) connected with the execution of portfolio transactions or in connection with creation and redemption transactions; (ii) legal fees or expenses in connection with any arbitration, litigation or pending or threatened arbitration or litigation, including any settlements in connection therewith; (iii) compensation and expenses of trustees who are not interested persons of the Funds (“Independent Trustees”); (iv) compensation and expenses of counsel to the Independent Trustees; (v) compensation and expenses of the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”); (vi) extraordinary expenses; (vii) distribution fees and expenses paid by the Trust under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act; and (viii) the advisory fee payable to WTAM.

Under the investment advisory agreement for Funds that commenced operations on or after March 26, 2013, WTAM has agreed to pay all expenses of the Trust, except for: (i) brokerage expenses and other fees, charges, taxes, levies or expenses (such as stamp taxes) incurred in connection with the execution of portfolio transactions or in connection with creation and redemption transactions (including without limitation any fees, charges, taxes, levies or expenses related to the purchase or sale of an amount of any currency, or the partition or repatriation of any security or other asset, related to the execution of portfolio transactions or any creation or redemption transactions); (ii) legal fees or expenses in connection with any arbitration, litigation or pending or threatened arbitration or litigation, including any settlements in connection therewith; (iii) compensation and expenses of each Independent Trustee; (iv) compensation and expenses of counsel to the Independent Trustees; (v) compensation and expenses of the Trust’s CCO; (vi) extraordinary expenses (in each case as determined by a majority of the Independent Trustees); (vii) distribution fees and expenses paid by the Trust under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act;

(viii) interest and taxes of any kind or nature (including, but not limited to, income, excise, transfer and withholding taxes); (ix) fees and expenses related to the provision of securities lending services; and (x) the advisory fee payable to WTAM.

Acquired fund fees and expenses (“AFFEs”) (which are fees and expenses incurred indirectly by a Fund through its investments in certain underlying investment companies) are not operating expenses of the Funds and are not paid by WTAM.

Pursuant to a separate contractual arrangement, WTAM arranges for the provision of CCO services with respect to each Fund, and is liable and responsible for, and administers, payments to the CCO, the Independent Trustees and counsel to the Independent Trustees. WTAM receives a fee, as shown on the Statements of Operations under “Service fees”, of up to 0.0044% per annum of each Fund’s average daily net assets for providing such services and paying such expenses. WTAM provides CCO services to the Trust.

Repurchase Agreements — Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with counterparties that are deemed to present acceptable credit risks. A repurchase agreement is a transaction in which a Fund acquires securities or other obligations as collateral from a commercial bank or securities broker-dealer and simultaneously commits to resell them to the counterparty at an agreed upon date or upon demand and at a price reflecting a market rate of interest unrelated to the coupon rate or maturity of the acquired obligations. This is designed to result in a fixed rate of return for the Fund insulated from market fluctuations during the holding period. Each Fund maintains custody of the acquired collateral prior to their repurchase, either through its regular custodian or through a special “tri-party” custodian or sub-custodian that maintains separate accounts for both the Fund and the counterparty. Because repurchase agreements are collateralized by securities, they are subject to market and credit risk on the acquired collateral in addition to counterparty credit risk. The acquired collateral is valued on a daily basis at fair value to ensure that the value, including accrued interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price. If the acquired collateral declines in value and becomes less than the repurchase price, plus any agreed-upon additional amount, the counterparty must provide additional collateral so that at all times the collateral value is at least equal to the repurchase price plus any agreed-upon additional amount. In the event of default of the obligation to repurchase, a Fund has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligations. Under certain circumstances, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — The Currency Strategy Funds, except the U.S. Dollar Bullish Fund, utilized forward foreign currency contracts (“Forward Contract”) to obtain net long exposure to foreign currencies consistent with each Currency Strategy Fund’s investment objective. The U.S. Dollar Bullish Fund utilized Forward Contracts to obtain net short exposure to foreign currencies consistent with its investment objective. The Asia Local Debt Fund and the Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund utilized Forward Contracts to obtain long and short exposures to foreign currencies consistent with each Fund’s investment objective. The Managed Futures Strategy Fund utilized Forward Contracts to obtain long and short exposures to the Japanese Yen consistent with its investment objective. A Forward Contract involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract. These contracts are principally traded in the inter-bank market conducted directly between currency traders (usually large, commercial banks) and their customers. A Forward Contract generally does not require an initial margin deposit and no commissions are charged at any stage for trades. However, if a Fund is in an unrealized loss position on a Forward Contract, it may be required to pledge collateral (or additional collateral) to the counterparty. If a Fund is in an unrealized gain position on a Forward Contract, it may receive collateral from the counterparty.

Risks may arise upon entering into Forward Contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar or each other.

Fluctuations in the value of open Forward Contracts are recorded for book purposes as unrealized gains or losses on Forward Contracts by the Funds and included in net increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from foreign currency contracts on the Statements of Operations. Realized gains and losses on Forward Contracts include net gains or losses recognized by the Funds on contracts which have settled are included in net realized gain (loss) from foreign currency contracts on the Statements of Operations.

Futures Contracts — The Duration Funds utilized futures contracts to obtain short exposure to U.S. Treasury bonds to hedge against a rise in interest rates. The Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund utilized futures contracts on U.S. Treasury bonds to manage interest rate risk. The Managed Futures Strategy Fund utilized futures contracts to obtain long and short exposures to currencies, commodities and interest rates consistent with its investment objective. When a Fund purchases a listed futures contract, it agrees to purchase a specified reference asset (e.g., commodity, currency or Treasury security) at a specified future date. When a Fund sells a listed futures contract, it agrees to sell a specified reference asset (e.g., commodity, currency or Treasury security) at a specified future date. The price at which the purchase and sale will take place is fixed when the Fund enters into the contract. The exchange clearing corporation is the ultimate counterparty for all exchange-listed contracts, so credit risk is limited to the creditworthiness of the exchange’s clearing corporation.

Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deliver to a broker an amount of cash and/or government securities equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as the “initial margin”. Subsequent payments, known as

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

“variation margin”, generally are made or received by the Fund each day or at other agreed-upon time periods depending on the fluctuations in the value of the underlying futures contracts, except that in the case of certain futures contracts payments may be made or received at settlement. Such variation margin is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as an unrealized gain or loss on futures until the financial futures contract is closed, at which time the net gain or loss is reclassified to realized gain or loss on futures. The current one-day variation margin on open futures contracts is shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as either a receivable or a payable for “Net variation margin on futures contracts”. The prior variation margins on both open and closed futures contracts are shown in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, in whole or in part, as a component of, or an offset to, “Cash” and/or “Deposits at broker for futures contracts”. When a Fund purchases or sells a futures contract, the Fund is required to “cover” its position in order to limit the risk associated with the use of leverage and other related risks. To cover its position, a Fund will segregate assets consisting of, or take other measures with respect to, cash or liquid securities that, when added to any amounts deposited with a futures commission merchant as margin, will “cover” its position in a manner consistent with the 1940 Act or the rules and SEC interpretations thereunder. This will function as a practical limit on the amount of leverage which a Fund may undertake and on the potential increase in the speculative character of a Fund’s outstanding portfolio securities.

Options Contracts — The CBOE Russell 2000 PutWrite Strategy Fund and the CBOE S&P 500 PutWrite Strategy Fund (the “Funds”) utilized option contracts by writing put options on the Russell 2000 and S&P 500 Indexes, respectively, consistent with their investment objective. A put option gives the purchaser of the option the right to sell, and the writer of the option the obligation to buy, the underlying security or financial instrument. A call option gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy, and the writer of the option the obligation to sell, the underlying security or financial instrument. A premium is paid to the writer of an option as consideration for undertaking the obligation in the contract. The Funds may purchase and write options on an exchange or over the counter (“OTC”). OTC options differ from exchange-traded options in several respects. They are transacted directly with dealers and not with a clearing corporation, and therefore entail the risk of nonperformance by the dealer. OTC options are available for a greater variety of securities and for a wider range of expiration dates and exercise prices than are available for exchange-traded options. Because OTC options are not traded on an exchange, pricing is done normally by reference to information from a market maker.

When the Funds purchase an option, an amount equal to the premium paid by the Funds is recorded as an asset, the value of which is marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option purchased. If the purchased option expires, the Funds realize a loss equal to the amount of premium paid. When a security or financial instrument is purchased or sold through the exercise of an option, the related premium paid is added to the basis of the security or financial instrument acquired or deducted from the proceeds of the security or financial instrument sold.

When the Funds write an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Funds is recorded as a liability, the value of which is marked-to-market daily to reflect the current market value of the option written. If the option expires, the premium received is recorded as a realized gain. When a written call option is exercised, the difference between the premium received plus the option exercise price and the Funds’ basis in the underlying security (in the case of a covered written call option), or the cost to purchase the underlying security (in the case of an uncovered written call option), including brokerage commission, is recognized as a realized gain or loss. When a written put option is exercised, the amount of the premium received is subtracted from the cost of the security purchased by the Funds from the exercise of the written put option to form the Funds’ basis in the underlying security purchased.

The purchaser or writer of an option may close the position before the exercise of the option by entering into a closing transaction. In the case of a written option, the cost of a closing transaction is deducted from the original premium received resulting in a realized gain or loss to the Funds. With respect to a purchased option, the original premium paid is deducted from the proceeds received from a closing transaction resulting in a realized gain or loss to the Funds.

Written options may constitute a fair value guarantee on a financial asset under the provisions of FASB Codification Topic 460 — Guarantees. The Fund’s maximum payout for written put options is limited to the number of contracts written and the associated strike prices. At August 31, 2018, the CBOE Russell 2000 PutWrite Strategy Fund’s maximum payout for written put options was $5,376,000. At August 31, 2018, the CBOE S&P 500 PutWrite Strategy Fund’s maximum payout for written put options was $239,841,000. The maximum payout for written call options is potentially unlimited to the extent that the written call option is uncovered.

The Funds’ risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premiums paid. The risk in writing a covered call option is that the Funds may forego the opportunity of profit if the market price of the underlying security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing an uncovered call option is that the Funds are exposed to the risk of loss if the market price of the underlying security increases. The risk in writing a put option is that the Funds may incur a loss if the market price of the underlying security decreases and the option is exercised. In addition, there is the risk that the Funds may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market.

Other significant risks associated with the Funds’ use of options contracts may include the following: (1) the success of a strategy may depend on the Fund adviser’s ability to predict movements in the prices of individual commodities, currencies or securities,

fluctuations in markets and movements in interest rates; (2) there may be an imperfect or no correlation between the changes in market value of the commodities, currencies or securities and the price of options; (3) although the Funds intend to enter into options contracts only if there is an active market for such contracts, there is no assurance that an active market will exist for the contracts at any particular time; (4) trading restrictions or limitations may be imposed by an exchange; and (5) government regulations may restrict trading in options contracts.

Securities Lending — Each Fund may lend portfolio securities to certain creditworthy borrowers, including the Funds’ securities lending agent. It is the Funds’ policy that, at origination, all loans are secured by collateral of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of foreign securities loaned. Collateral in the form of cash and/or high-grade debt obligations, equivalent to at least 100% of the market value of securities, is maintained at all times. The cash collateral can be invested in certain money market mutual funds which also have exposure to the fluctuations of the market. The values of the investments of cash collateral for securities on loan along with the obligations to return such collateral are included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The total value of securities received as collateral for securities on loan is included in a footnote following each Schedule of Investments, but is not included within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities because the receiving Fund does not have the right to sell or repledge the securities received as collateral. Each Fund receives compensation for lending its securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash or U.S. government securities held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower plus reasonable administrative and custody fees, all of which are included in the securities lending income earned by the Funds and disclosed on the Statements of Operations. The dividend and interest income earned on the securities loaned is accounted for in the same manner as other dividend and interest income. The borrower pays to the Funds an amount equal to any dividends or interest received on loaned securities. Dividends received while a security is out on loan are not considered Qualified Dividend Income (“QDI”) under the specific criteria issued by the Internal Revenue Service and are subject to taxation at the shareholder’s ordinary income tax rate instead of the lower long-term capital gains tax rate. Lending portfolio securities could result in a loss or delay in recovering each Fund’s securities if the borrower defaults. In the event of a borrower default with respect to the failure to return to each Fund some or all of the securities loaned, the securities lending agent shall indemnify each Fund against the failure of the borrower.

Master Netting Arrangements — ASU No. 2011-11 “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”) is generally intended to (i) help investors and other financial statement users to better assess the effect or potential effect of offsetting arrangements on a company’s financial position, (ii) improve transparency in the reporting of how companies mitigate credit risk, and (iii) facilitate comparisons between those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of GAAP and those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of international financial reporting standards. ASU 2011-11 requires entities to disclose (i) gross and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the financial statements, and (ii) instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting agreement. ASU 2011-11 is limited in scope to the following financial instruments, to the extent they are offset in the financial statements or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement: (i) recognized derivative instruments accounted for under ASC 815 (Derivatives and Hedging); (ii) repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements; and (iii) securities borrowing and securities lending transactions.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help a Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, a Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with its counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between a Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter derivatives (“OTC”), such as total return swap contracts and Forward Contracts, and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms, netting and rights of set-off provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, a Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and receivables to create a single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of a default (close-out netting) or similar event, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty.

Collateral requirements generally differ by type of derivative. Collateral terms are contract-specific for OTC derivatives (e.g. foreign exchange contracts, options and certain swaps). Generally, for transactions traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are calculated by netting the marked to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by a Fund and the counterparty. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a counterparty must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold before a transfer is required to be made. To the extent amounts due to a Fund from its derivatives counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from a counterparty’s non-performance.

Repurchase agreements are subject to the terms and conditions of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“Master Repurchase Agreement”) between a Fund and a counterparty. In the event of a default or failure by a party to perform an obligation with respect to a repurchase transaction, the Master Repurchase Agreement gives the non-defaulting party the right to set-off claims and to apply property held by it in connection with a repurchase transaction against obligations owed to the non-defaulting party.

The Funds’ security lending activities are governed by a Securities Lending Authorization Agreement (“Lending Agreement”) between the Funds and the lending agent. The Lending Agreement authorizes the lending agent to lend qualifying U.S. and foreign securities held by a Fund to approved borrowers (each a “Borrower”). To mitigate borrower risk, a Fund typically receives from a Borrower collateral in the form of U.S. dollar cash and/or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies in excess of the market value of the securities loaned. Under the provisions of the Lending Agreement, a Fund shall have, as to the collateral, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under applicable law. A Fund is exposed to risk of loss if a Borrower defaults on its obligation to return borrowed securities and the value of the collateral a Fund received is insufficient to cover the market value of the securities loaned. Also, the lending agent is permitted to invest the cash collateral it receives from a Borrower into a money market fund which is subject to market fluctuation. Therefore, a Fund is exposed to risk of loss if the value of invested cash collateral is insufficient to satisfy the Fund’s obligation to return the full amount owed to such Borrower.

The Funds’ futures contracts and option contracts are all exchange traded and are not subject to master netting arrangements. Therefore, all futures contracts and option contracts are excluded from the netting table below.

For financial reporting purposes, the Funds elect to not offset assets and liabilities subject to an ISDA Master Agreement, Master Repurchase Agreement or Lending Agreement, if any, in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Therefore, all qualifying transactions are presented on a gross basis in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As of August 31, 2018, the impact of netting of assets and liabilities and the offsetting of collateral pledged or received based on contractual netting/set-off provisions in the ISDA Master Agreement, Master Repurchase Agreement and the Lending Agreement are detailed in the following table:

Short-Term Investments — Each Fund may invest a portion of its assets in high-quality money market instruments on an ongoing basis to provide liquidity or for other reasons. The instruments include short-term obligations issued by the U.S. government, its agencies, non-U.S. government agencies, negotiable certificates of deposit (“CDs”), fixed time deposits and bankers’ acceptances of U.S. and foreign banks and similar institutions, commercial papers, repurchase agreements and money market funds. CDs are short-term negotiable obligations of commercial banks. Time deposits are non-negotiable deposits maintained in banking institutions for specified periods of time at stated interest rates. Banker’s acceptances are time drafts drawn on commercial banks by borrowers, usually in connection with international transactions.

To-be-announced Transactions — Interest Rate Hedged U.S. Aggregate Bond Fund, Negative Duration U.S. Aggregate Bond Fund, Yield Enhanced U.S. Aggregate Bond Fund and the Yield Enhanced U.S. Short-Term Aggregate Bond Fund invest in U.S. agency mortgage-backed pass-through securities which are securities issued by entities such as Government National Mortgage Association and Federal National Mortgage Association that are backed by pools of mortgages. Most transactions in mortgage-backed pass-through securities occur for future delivery in which the exact mortgage pools to be delivered are not specified until a few days prior to settlement, referred to as a “to-be-announced transaction” or “TBA Transaction.” In a TBA Transaction, the buyer and seller agree upon general trade parameters such as agency, settlement date, par amount and price. The actual pools delivered generally are determined a few days prior to the settlement date; however, it is not anticipated that the Interest Rate Hedged U.S. Aggregate Bond Fund, Negative Duration U.S. Aggregate Bond Fund, Yield Enhanced U.S. Aggregate Bond Fund and the Yield Enhanced U.S. Short-Term Aggregate Bond Fund will take delivery of pools, but instead will participate in rolling TBA Transactions whereby instead of receiving pools on the purchase settlement date, the position is offset by a current sale of the TBA security with a simultaneous forward purchase of a substantially similar TBA security (i.e. same type, coupon, maturity) to settle on a specified future date.

Short Sale Transactions — Each Fund may enter into “short sale” transactions in which a Fund sells a security that it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market price of that security. When a Fund enters into a short sale transaction, the Fund will borrow the security and deliver it to the counterparty to which the Fund sold the security short. An amount equal to the proceeds received by the Fund is reflected as an asset and an equivalent liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the securities sold short. Any interest or dividends that accrue on the securities borrowed are shown as an interest expense or dividend expense in the Statement of Operations of the Fund. A realized gain, limited to the proceeds received at which the Fund sold the security short, or a realized loss, unlimited as to the dollar amount, will be recognized upon the termination of a short sale if the cost to close out the short sale transaction is either less than (in the case of a gain) or greater than (in the case of a loss) the proceeds received. The risk of loss on a short sale transaction is potentially unlimited unlike the risk of loss on a long position, which is limited to the amount paid for the investment plus transaction costs. Funds entering into short sale transactions are exposed to the risk that they may be unable to close out a short sale position at any particular time or at an acceptable price.

Tax Information and Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Each Fund intends to qualify for and to elect treatment as a separate Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded RICs and their shareholders, each Fund must, among other things, distribute with respect to each taxable year an amount equal to or greater than the sum of 90% of its investment company taxable income and 90% of its net tax-exempt interest income. There can be no guarantee that a Fund will pay dividends. Taxable net realized gains from investment transactions, reduced by capital loss carryforwards, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders at least annually. The capital loss carryforward amount, if any, is available to offset future net capital gains. The Funds may occasionally be required to make supplemental distributions at some other time during the year. The Trust reserves the right to declare special distributions if, in its reasonable discretion, such action is necessary or advisable to preserve the status of each Fund as a RIC or to avoid imposition of income or excise taxes on undistributed income. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with the requirements of the Code and the U.S. Treasury regulations. These book/tax differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their Federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions that exceed earnings and profit for tax purposes are reported for tax purposes as a return of capital.

3. ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

WTAM has overall responsibility for the general management and administration of the Trust. WTAM provides an investment program for each Fund. WTAM has arranged for BNY Mellon Asset Management North America Corporation (‘‘BNY Mellon AMNA’’) to provide sub-advisory services to the Funds, except for Yield Enhanced U.S. Short-Term Aggregate Bond Fund and Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund which are sub-advised by Voya Investment Management Co., LLC (‘‘Voya IM’’). BNY Mellon AMNA and Voya IM are compensated by WTAM at no additional cost to the Funds. WTAM also arranges for transfer agency, custody, fund accounting, fund administration, securities lending and all other non-distribution related services necessary for the

Funds to operate, which are generally under separate agreements entered into between the Trust on behalf of the Funds and the applicable service provider. Under the investment advisory agreement for each Fund, WTAM agrees to pay all expenses of the Funds, except for certain expenses described in Note 2.

Pursuant to a separate contractual arrangement, as also described in Note 2, WTAM arranges for the provision of CCO services with respect to each Fund, and is liable and responsible for, and administers, payments to the CCO, the Independent Trustees and counsel to the Independent Trustees in exchange for a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly in arrears, of up to 0.0044% per annum of each Fund’s average daily net assets. WTAM expects to receive advisory fees from each Fund, based on a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets, as shown in the following table:

For the period February 1, 2018 (commencement of operations) through August 31, 2018.

During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, the U.S. Dollar Bullish Fund received a voluntary reimbursement of $6,115 from BNY Mellon AMNA for investment losses on certain foreign exchange transactions. The dollar amount of the reimbursement is shown in the Statements of Operations in “Net realized gain from payment by sub-advisor”.

Each Fund may purchase shares of affiliated ETFs in secondary market transactions to reduce cash balances and/or to implement its investment strategy. For these transactions, WTAM waives its advisory fees for each Fund’s investment in affiliated funds. The dollar amount of advisory fees waived during the period for the Funds, if any, are shown in the Statements of Operations in “Expense waivers”.

These differences are primarily due to the calculation of currency gains/losses, realized book income from wholly owned foreign subsidiaries, the realization for tax purposes of gain/(loss) on certain derivative instruments, redemptions-in-kind, foreign capital gains tax, paydowns, net operating losses, net operating loss offsets, and non-deductible excise taxes paid.

GAAP provides guidance on tax provisions that prescribe a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Taxes are accrued and applied to net investment income, net realized capital gains and net unrealized appreciation, as applicable, as the income is earned or capital gains are recorded. As of and during the fiscal year or period ended August 31, 2018, the Funds did not have any liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions they have taken or expect to take in the future. If applicable, the Funds will recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in “Other” expenses on the Statements of Operations. The Funds file tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service, the State of New York, and various other states. Generally, each of the tax years in the four-year period ended August 31, 2018, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

7. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

On August 17, 2018, the SEC voted to adopt amendments to certain of its disclosure requirements that have become redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated, or superseded, in light of other SEC disclosure requirements, U.S. GAAP, or changes in the information environment. The SEC will also be referring certain SEC disclosure requirements that overlap with, but require information incremental to, U.S. GAAP to the FASB for potential incorporation into U.S. GAAP. The amendments are intended to facilitate the disclosure of information to investors and simplify compliance without significantly altering the total mix of information provided to investors. The amendments become effective 30 days after their publication in the Federal Register - which, as of the date of this Annual Report, have not yet been published. WTAM is currently evaluating the impact that these amendments will have on the Trust’s financial statements and related disclosures.

On August 28, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 includes removals, additions and modifications to the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements that are intended to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements. The amendments in ASU 2018-13 are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this ASU and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. WTAM has evaluated ASU 2018-13 and determined that there is no significant impact on the Trust’s financial statements. WTAM has early adopted the following ASU 2018-13 guidance in the Trust financial statements pertaining to the removal of (i) the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and (ii) the policy for timing of transfers between levels.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (concluded)

 

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2018, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Table of Contents

The WisdomTree Funds are exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission as separate series (“Funds”) of WisdomTree Trust (“Trust”). WisdomTree Asset Management, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of WisdomTree Investments, Inc., serves as the investment adviser to the Trust. None of the WisdomTree entities are affiliated with Foreside Fund Services, LLC, the Funds’ distributor. WisdomTree Investments, its affiliates and their independent providers are not liable for any informational errors, incompleteness, delays, or for any actions taken in reliance on information contained herein.

Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Funds carefully before investing. A prospectus, containing this and other information, is available at www.wisdomtree.com, or by calling 1-866-909-WISE (9473). Investors should read the prospectus carefully before investing. There are risks associated with investing, including possible loss of principal. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Indexes are unmanaged and you cannot invest directly in an index.

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. Investments in real estate involve additional special risks, such as credit risk, interest rate fluctuations and the effect of varied economic conditions. Funds that focus their investments in one country or region may be significantly impacted by events and developments associated with the region which can adversely affect performance. Funds focusing on a single sector and/or smaller companies generally experience greater price volatility. Investments in emerging, offshore or frontier markets are generally less liquid and less efficient than investments in developed markets and are subject to additional risks, such as risks of adverse governmental regulation and intervention or political developments. Investments in currency involve additional special risks, such as credit risk and interest rate fluctuations. Derivative investments can be volatile and these investments may be less liquid than other securities, and more sensitive to the effect of varied economic conditions. As these Funds can have a high concentration in some issuers the Funds can be adversely impacted by changes affecting such issuers.

Fixed income investments are subject to interest rate risk; their value will normally decline as interest rates rise. In addition, when interest rates fall, income may decline. Fixed income investments are also subject to credit risk, the risk that the issuer of a bond will fail to pay interest and principal in a timely manner, or that negative perceptions of the issuer’s ability to make such payments will cause the price of that bond to decline. High-yield or “junk” bonds have lower credit ratings and involve a greater risk to principal. One of the risks associated with the Managed Futures Strategy Fund (WTMF) is the complexity of the different factors which contribute to the Fund’s performance, as well as their correlation (or non-correlation) to other asset classes. These factors include use of long and short positions in commodity futures contracts, currency forward contracts, swaps and other derivatives. An investment in WTMF is speculative and involves a substantial degree of risk. WTMF should not be used as a proxy for taking long only (or short only) positions in commodities or currencies. In markets without sustained price trends or markets that quickly reverse or “whipsaw” WTMF may suffer significant losses. Unlike typical exchange-traded funds, there are no indexes that the actively managed Currency Strategy Funds, actively managed Fixed Income Funds or WTMF attempt to track or replicate. Thus, the ability of these Funds to achieve their objectives will depend on the effectiveness of the portfolio manager. Due to the investment strategy of certain Funds they may make higher capital gain distributions than other ETFs. Please read the Fund’s prospectus for specific details regarding the Fund’s risk profile.

Transactions in Fund shares will result in brokerage commissions and will generate tax consequences. Shares may be sold through brokerage accounts, but may be redeemed from the Funds by Authorized Participants in large creation unit sizes of shares.

The audit committee financial expert serving on the Registrant’s audit committee is David Chrencik, who is an independent Trustee of the Trust, as that term is defined under Item 3(a) (2).

  (c)

  (e)(1)

Disclose the audit committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures described in paragraph (c)(7) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

 

      

Per Rule 2-01(c) (7) (A), the Registrant’s audit committee charter provides that the audit committee shall select and approve in advance the retention of independent accountants to annually audit and provide their opinion on the Registrant’s financial statements. The audit committee must also approve prior to appointment the engagement of the principal accountant to provide other audit services to the Registrant or to provide non-audit services to the Registrant, its investment adviser, or any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with its investment adviser (“adviser/affiliate”) that provides ongoing services to the Registrant, if the engagement by the investment adviser or adviser affiliate relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant. The audit committee must also, prior to appointment of the engagement of the principal accountant, review and approve the fees proposed to be charged to the Registrant by the auditors for each audit and non-audit service.
