NEW YORK, Feb. 27, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WisdomTree Investments, Inc. (NASDAQ:WETF), an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) and exchange-traded product (“ETP”) sponsor and asset manager, today announced that three additional ETFs have recently filed notification with the Financial Services Agency of Japan (FSA).
The three newly notified ETFs offer differentiated foreign fixed income solutions to retail investors in Japan at a time when many Japanese investors are looking to diversify with foreign bonds for additional income and return potential. The newly notified funds include:
- The WisdomTree Negative Duration High Yield Bond Fund[*] (HYND) a high-yield bond strategy designed to provide investors with a means of investing in a rising U.S. interest rate setting while still generating income from high yield corporate bond exposures.
- The WisdomTree Barclays Yield Enhanced U.S. Aggregate Bond Fund[†] (AGGY) which offers investors access to core fixed income by looking within the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index (Agg) universe to enhance income.
- The WisdomTree Interest Rate Hedged High Yield Bond Fund[‡] (HYZD) which can help investors reduce the interest rate risk of their overall portfolio while supplementing income levels.
