Wisdomtree Inc Launches Physical Ai Humanoids and Drones Fund
WisdomTree, Inc. announced the launch of the WisdomTree Physical AI, Humanoids, and Drones Fund (WDRN), listed on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc., with an expense ratio of 0.45%. The launch comes at a pivotal moment for artificial intelligence (AI), as the technology evolves beyond digital applications to enable physical AI activities (Physical AI Activities), powering machines that can perceive, make decisions, and execute tasks autonomously in the physical world. WDRN is designed to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the WisdomTree Physical AI, Humanoids, and Drones Index (the Index). The Index is designed to provide exposure to global companies involved in Physical AI Activities, including humanoid and collaborative robots, autonomous drones and vehicles, AI-enabled manufacturing systems, warehouse and supply chain automation, and intelligent machines across sectors such as healthcare, construction, agriculture, and defense. Targeted Physical AI Exposure: The strategy emphasizes companies applying AI in physical environments, including humanoid robotics, drones and autonomous mobility, smart manufacturing, logistics and supply chain robotics, and emerging applications of robotics. Innovation Profile: Exposure spans five key verticals across the Physical AI value chain, including humanoid robotics, drones and autonomous mobility, smart manufacturing, logistics and supply chain robotics, and emerging applications of robotics, providing access to companies across different geographies, market capitalizations, and stages of development. Differentiation from Core Technology: The strategy spans multiple sectors, reflecting the application of AI across industries beyond traditional technology segments. Systematic, Rules-Based Construction: The Index follows a rules-based methodology with quarterly rebalancing, helping to keep exposure aligned with developments across the Physical AI ecosystem. The launch of WDRN reflects WisdomTree’s continued focus on developing thematic strategies aligned with structural shifts shaping the global economy. Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Fund’s before investing. Physical AI, Humanoids, and Drones Fund (WDRN) There are risks associated with investing, including possible loss of principal. Companies engaged in Physical AI Activities are subject to unique regulatory, operational and technological risks, such as intense competition and potentially rapid product obsolescence. The regulation of such companies in the United States and other countries is diverse and rapidly evolving, which may inhibit or delay adoption. These companies are also heavily dependent on intellectual property rights and may be adversely affected by loss or impairment of those rights. Companies engaged in Physical AI Activities typically invest significant amounts of spending on research and development, and there is no guarantee that the products or services produced by these companies will be successful. Humanoid robotics companies are sensitive to trends in industrial production, capital-expenditure cycles, supply-chain conditions, and adoption rates of automation technologies across varied sectors including business and industrial end-users. Humanoid robotics companies may have long and capital-intensive development timelines, highly uncertain paths to profitability and large-scale deployment, and limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. Drone companies may be dependent on the U.S. Government and its agencies for a significant portion of their revenues, and the commercial and military adoption of drone technologies remains subject to extensive and evolving governmental oversight, including aviation safety standards, airworthiness certification requirements, export controls, and national security reviews. A fund that has a portfolio that is concentrated in the securities of issuers in a particular industry or group of related industries, may be adversely affected by the performance of those securities, and more susceptible to adverse economic, market, political, or regulatory occurrences affecting that industry or group of related industries. Investments in non-U.S. securities involve political, regulatory, and economic risks that may not be present in U.S. securities. For example, foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss due to foreign currency fluctuations, political or economic instability, or geographic events that adversely impact issuers of foreign securities. Investments in securities and instruments traded in developing or emerging markets, or that provide exposure to such securities or markets, can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions not associated with investments in U.S. securities and instruments or investments in more developed international markets. The Fund invests in the securities included in, or representative of, its Index regardless of their investment merit and the Fund does not attempt to outperform its Index. The composition of the Index is governed by an Index Committee and the Index may not perform as intended. Please read the Fund’s prospectus for specific details regarding the Fund’s risk profile.
