- WisdomTree Global Quality Dividend Growth UCITS ETF USD Acc (GGRG.L) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the WisdomTree Global Developed Quality Dividend Growth Index. The ETF, issued by WisdomTree Issuer ICAV, an Irish collective asset-management vehicle domiciled in Ireland and authorised as a UCITS-compliant open-ended fund with segregated liability between sub-funds, provides accumulating exposure to high quality, dividend-growing companies from global developed markets that meet WisdomTree's environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria; it employs physical full replication, holds approximately 536 securities with a focus on large-cap stocks (over 91% allocation), and screens constituents using a composite risk score incorporating quality and momentum factors alongside minimum liquidity, dividend payment history, and ESG exclusions for controversial weapons, tobacco, thermal coal, and unconventional oil and gas activities without aligned carbon reduction targets. The fund, with a total expense ratio of 0.38%, targets institutional and retail investors seeking dividend income potential superior to market-cap indices, complemented by capital growth from top 600 eligible firms weighted by prior annual dividends.
Launched on June 3, 2016, under the WisdomTree Issuer ICAV umbrella established in 2011 (converted from a public limited company in 2020), the ETF operates primarily through listings on the London Stock Exchange (GGRG ticker) and benefits from WisdomTree's global footprint, with the parent sponsor WisdomTree, Inc. headquartered in New York, USA, and founded in 1985; geographic exposure mirrors the index, heaviest in the United States (58.35%), Switzerland, Japan, Germany, and France, spanning developed markets across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and select others. Target customers include financial professionals and individual investors utilising the ETF as a core holding for quality dividend strategies, a replacement for active large-cap growth or quality funds, or diversification from high-yield dividend approaches.
Recent developments at WisdomTree include the December 2025 launch of the WisdomTree Value UCITS ETF range, encompassing global, European, and US-focused products with total expense ratios of 0.20%-0.25%, complementing existing smart-beta UCITS offerings such as quality dividend growth strategies; in early December 2025, WisdomTree introduced the Equity Premium Income Digital Fund (EPXC), a tokenized options overlay strategy available via WisdomTree Prime and Connect platforms targeting S&P 500 put options for income generation and volatility management. In October 2025, WisdomTree completed its acquisition of Ceres Partners, LLC, a US farmland investment manager, for $275 million in cash plus earn-outs, marking entry into private markets with over $750 million raised in farmland opportunities adjacent to solar, AI data centers, and water rights; earlier in July 2025, the deal was announced as day-one accretive to earnings growth. WisdomTree also launched a Quantum Computing UCITS ETF (WQTM) and conducted 2025 index reconstitutions, including updates to developed international and emerging markets screens excluding state-owned enterprises.
