- WisdomTree Germany Hedged Equity Fund (DXGE) is an exchange-traded fund that tracks the WisdomTree Germany Hedged Equity Index, a fundamentally weighted, dividend-paying index of German companies domiciled in Germany with an exporter tilt. The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in component securities of the index or investments with similar economic characteristics, including large-, mid-, and small-cap stocks across diversified sectors such as finance, consumer durables, communications, and industrials; top holdings include Mercedes-Benz Group AG, Allianz SE, Deutsche Telekom AG, Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, and BASF SE. It employs currency hedging through derivatives like futures and forwards to neutralize fluctuations between the euro and the U.S. dollar, targeting U.S. investors seeking German equity exposure without euro currency risk; the fund maintains approximately 59 holdings, a net expense ratio of 0.48%, and a dividend yield around 5%.
Launched on October 17, 2013, and managed by WisdomTree Asset Management within WisdomTree Trust, the fund is headquartered in the United States and listed on NASDAQ, with assets under management of about $18 million as of late 2025. It focuses on developed market equities in Europe, specifically Germany at 100% country allocation, serving institutional and retail investors interested in income-oriented, hedged international exposure.
No major changes, such as new product launches, acquisitions, partnerships, funding rounds, or strategic shifts specific to DXGE, have been reported in the last 1-2 years; however, WisdomTree as issuer pursued broader initiatives including the July 2025 acquisition of Ceres Partners for U.S. farmland investments and a November 2025 partnership with Stratiphy for portfolio diversification tools. The fund continues quarterly distributions, with the most recent noted at $0.4457 per share in December 2022, and exhibits stable operations amid low trading volume. MarketBeat indicates potential delisting status as of 2025, reflecting declining assets and liquidity, though it remains active on NASDAQ.
