NEW YORK -- (Business Wire)
WisdomTree (NASDAQ: WETF), an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) sponsor and
asset manager, announced that previously declared changes to the
WisdomTree Dreyfus New Zealand Dollar Fund became effective as of the
market open today, October 25, 2011. The WisdomTree Australia & New
Zealand Debt Fund (AUNZ) now offers broad-based exposure to local
currency debt of Australia and New Zealand.
“Australia & New Zealand are uniquely situated geographically to
potentially benefit from increased economic growth from Asia and
currently offer attractive yields compared to other developed markets.
We believe AUNZ offers a convenient way for investors to gain exposure
to the local debt from these countries,” said Bruce Lavine, WisdomTree
President & COO.

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.
Derivative investments can be volatile and these investments may be less
liquid than other securities, and more sensitive to the effects of
varied economic conditions. The Fund focuses its investments in
Australia and New Zealand, thereby increasing the impact of events and
developments in Australia and New Zealand that can adversely affect
performance.
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 issuers ability to make such payments will cause the price of
that bond to decline. Unlike typical exchange-traded funds, there is no
index that the Fund attempts to track or replicate. Thus, the ability of
the Fund to achieve its objective will depend on the effectiveness of
the portfolio manager. Please read the Fund’s prospectus for specific
details regarding the Fund’s risk profile.
Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks,
charges and expenses of the Funds before investing.To obtain a

before investing.
