WisdomTree Launches Efficient Rare Earth Plus Strategic Metals Fund (WDIG)
Capital-efficient ETF designed to target rare earths and strategic metals ecosystem
WDIG seeks to deliver total returns by combining equity exposure to commodity metals futures contracts and global companies primarily involved in strategic metals and rare earths mining activities, offering investors a differentiated way to access the growing importance of critical minerals in the global economy.
“From electric vehicles and wind turbines to AI data centers and autonomous systems, many of the technologies shaping the future share a common foundation in strategic metals. At the same time, supply chains for many critical minerals remain highly concentrated, elevating their importance from commodities to strategic assets for governments and industries alike,” said
WDIG: What’s Under the Hood?
- Capital-Efficient Dual Exposure: Combines approximately 90% exposure to a basket of equity securities issued by global companies primarily involved in strategic metals and rare earths mining activities with ~90% notional exposure to a basket of commodity metals futures contracts, providing access to both company performance and commodity price dynamics.
- Targeted Strategic Metals Exposure: Focuses on materials critical to modern infrastructure, including aluminum, cobalt, copper, lead, lithium, nickel, platinum, silver, tin, zinc, and rare earth elements.
- Actively Managed, Model-Driven Strategy: Uses a proprietary, model-based approach to allocate across equity securities and commodity metals futures contracts, rather than tracking a traditional index.
- Global Mining Opportunity Set: Invests in companies across developed and emerging markets positioned within strategic metals supply chains.

Read the prospectus or, if available, the summary prospectus carefully before investing.
There are risks associated with investing, including possible loss of principal. The Fund is actively managed and invests in commodity metals futures contracts from an eligible exchange, and equity securities issued by global companies primarily involved in strategic metals and rare earths mining activities.
The value of metal commodities, such as various mined metals and commodity-linked derivative instruments, such as commodity metals futures contracts, typically is based upon the price movements of the physical commodity or an economic variable linked to such price movements. Price movements in metals and commodity metals futures contracts may fluctuate quickly and dramatically, have a historically low correlation with the returns of the stock and bond markets, and may not correlate to price movements in other asset classes. By investing in the equity securities of metal miners, the Fund may be susceptible to financial, economic, political, or market events that impact the metal mining industry. Derivatives are used by the Fund to gain exposure to strategic metals and rare earth mining activities. Derivative investments can be volatile and may be less liquid than other investments. As a result, the value of an investment in the Fund may change quickly and without warning you may lose money. 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.
While the Fund is actively managed, the Fund’s investment process is heavily dependent on quantitative models and the models may not perform as intended. Please read the Fund’s prospectus for specific details regarding the Fund’s risk profile.
