- WisdomTree 1-3 Year Laddered Treasury Fund (USSH) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Bloomberg US Treasury 1-3 Year Laddered Index. The fund provides targeted exposure to recently issued U.S. Treasury securities with maturities between one and three years; it employs a laddered maturity structure that systematically reinvests proceeds from maturing securities into new issues within the target range, aiming to secure high-quality income with moderate interest rate risk while serving as a tool to manage interest rate exposure in fixed income portfolios. Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in component securities of the index or investments with substantially similar economic characteristics, consisting primarily of fixed-rate coupon U.S. Treasury securities maturing in one to three years or with remaining maturities in that range; the portfolio maintains high credit quality, with approximately 97.78% allocated to AA-rated Treasuries and 2.22% to cash equivalents as of mid-2025.
Launched on March 14, 2024, and listed on Nasdaq, USSH forms part of WisdomTree's expanding suite of fixed income ETFs, including the companion 7-10 Year Laddered Treasury Fund (USIN) introduced simultaneously to offer laddered exposures across different segments of the Treasury curve. WisdomTree Investments, Inc., the fund's sponsor, founded in 2006 and headquartered in New York City, manages a broad range of exchange-traded products globally, with operations spanning North America, Europe, the Middle East, and select emerging markets. The firm caters to institutional investors, financial advisors, and retail investors seeking diversified, income-generating strategies in fixed income, equities, commodities, and alternatives.
In recent developments, WisdomTree announced on July 31, 2025, a definitive agreement to acquire Ceres Partners, LLC, a leading U.S. farmland investment manager with approximately $1.85 billion in assets under management across 545 properties in 12 states; the deal, expected to close in Q4 2025 for up to $500 million including earn-outs, marks WisdomTree's strategic entry into private asset markets, enhancing its offerings with inflation-hedged real assets and adjacencies like solar, AI data infrastructure, and water investments. This acquisition builds on WisdomTree's innovation in ETPs, managed models, and blockchain-enabled products such as tokenized assets and the WisdomTree Prime digital wallet. No significant reorganizations, name changes, or funding rounds specific to USSH have been reported in the last two years.
