- WisdomTree U.S. SmallCap Fund (EES) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the WisdomTree U.S. SmallCap Earnings Index, a fundamentally weighted index comprised of earnings-generating companies within the small-capitalization segment of the U.S. equity market. The fund provides investors with broad exposure to profitable U.S. small-cap equities, focusing on firms weighted by earnings from core operations; it invests in a diversified portfolio of growth and value stocks across sectors, with approximately 53% in small-cap companies under $2 billion market capitalization, 47% in mid-cap, and holdings primarily in the United States (97.13%) supplemented by minor allocations to countries including Bermuda, Switzerland, and India. Launched on February 23, 2007, and formerly known as WisdomTree U.S. SmallCap Earnings Fund, EES features an expense ratio of 0.38%, total assets of approximately $609 million, and a distribution yield of 1.50% as of mid-2025.
The fund operates within the equity segment of the exchange-traded products industry, targeting institutional investors, financial advisors, high-net-worth individuals, and retail investors seeking small-cap exposure with potentially favorable valuations compared to traditional active and passive strategies.
WisdomTree, Inc., the sponsor and issuer of EES, maintains headquarters in New York City and was incorporated in 2005, with global operations spanning North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and select emerging markets including Mexico, South America, London, Dublin, Milan, and Israel.
In a significant strategic expansion during 2025, WisdomTree completed the acquisition of Ceres Partners, LLC, a premier U.S. farmland investment manager, for $275 million in upfront cash plus up to $225 million in earnouts contingent on revenue targets, marking the firm's entry into private asset markets and complementing its core ETP offerings with diversified real assets like farmland, solar leasing, AI data infrastructure, and water rights. This move builds on WisdomTree's record assets under management of $136.2 billion globally and supports broader initiatives in managed models, tokenization, and digital assets via platforms like WisdomTree Prime and WisdomTree Connect.
