- WisdomTree Managed Futures Strategy Fund (WTMF) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks positive total returns in rising or falling markets not directly correlated to broad equity or fixed income benchmarks. The fund employs a quantitative, rules-based strategy to capture price trends across commodities, currencies, equity indices, interest rates, and up to 10% in bitcoin-related exchange-traded products and futures contracts (without direct bitcoin investment), utilizing long and short positions in futures, forwards, swaps, and other derivatives. Core exposures include energy, grains, industrial metals, livestock, precious metals, softs, cryptocurrencies (via digital assets), equity indices such as Nikkei 225, E-mini S&P 500, and Euro Stoxx 50 futures, U.S. Treasury futures, and floating rate treasuries for collateral; the portfolio targets diversification through a Cayman Islands subsidiary for certain investments and benchmarks performance against the ICE BofA U.S. 3-Month Treasury Bill Index and a 60/40 S&P 500/Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond composite. Launched on January 5, 2011, and domiciled in the United States, the fund trades on NYSE Arca with a net expense ratio of 0.65%, total assets of approximately $162 million as of July 2025, and is managed by WisdomTree Asset Management, Inc., headquartered at 250 West 34th Street, 3rd Floor, New York, NY. It serves institutional and retail investors seeking managed futures as an alternative asset class for portfolio diversification, inflation hedging, and non-correlated returns.
In recent strategic developments, the fund's investment strategy shifted effective June 4, 2021, to enhance its active management approach beyond prior index-tracking. Parent company WisdomTree, Inc. completed the acquisition of Ceres Partners, LLC, a U.S. farmland investment manager, on October 2, 2025, for $275 million in cash plus up to $225 million in earnouts contingent on revenue growth, marking WisdomTree's entry into private markets and expanding beyond ETPs like WTMF into real assets such as farmland. This transaction, funded partly by convertible notes, positions WisdomTree to offer clients blended public-private market exposures while leveraging Ceres' platform for equity-like returns with low volatility and inflation protection. No fund-specific mergers, new launches, or operational reorganizations for WTMF have been reported in the past two years.
