[in] the Financial Analysts Journal... letters [section] the magazine published in its March/April issue... André Perold, a finance professor at Harvard Business School, had written an article in a previous issue criticizing a new kind of financial product called fundamentally weighted indexes, which have been devised in large part by a man named Robert D. Arnott. Mr. Arnott is the chairman of Research Affiliates, a six-year-old company that markets and licenses such funds ? and he?s also the former editor of The Financial Analysts Journal. ?André...

SPDR DJ Wilshire Total Market ETF (Roger Nusbaum submits:
Roger Nusbaum submits: Paul Farrell had an interesting article on MarketWatch about a possible evolution of lazy portfolios.
In the article Farrell cited a version of a lazy portfolio put forth by Jeremy Siegel using WisdomTree funds. What I think is evolutionary is someone at Farrell's readership level allowing for the possibility that something new could be better. As a hasty generalization, it seems like a lot...
New WisdomTree 'Earnings' ETFs Are Sans Dividends - What Gives?
(Wed, 07 Mar 2007 05:01:44 -0500)IndexUniverse submits: Think WisdomTree and you think dividends. After all, WisdomTree is the company that called dividend-weighting ?a better way to index,? and said its dividend-weighting methodology would ?change the way we think about indexing and index investing.?
You can imagine the surprise late last month, then, when that same WisdomTree rolled out a suite of six exchange-traded funds that weighted stocks, not by dividends, but by earnings. Was WisdomTree turning its back on the dividend system?
The initial reaction of many market observers was actually to cast the funds as the forgotten step-child of the dividend strategy; WisdomTree?s ?second-best? product...
A Closer Look at the New WisdomTree ETFs
(Thu, 01 Mar 2007 03:10:06 -0500)Tom Lydon submits: John Spence of Dow Jones Newswires reports WisdomTree Investments' newest ETFs look for companies with solid earnings, but the true test will be whether this attention-grabbing firm can itself deliver steady profits.
The company has a market-capitalization of $700 million and has seen its shares march higher along with ETFs popularity. WisomTree has a "pure play" on ETFs and boasts a lineup of a few dozen specialty funds. The main concern are the pink-sheet listed stocks which are highly liquid as well as volatile and...
Earnings-Weighted ETFs On The Way From WisdomTree
(Fri, 23 Feb 2007 08:20:12 -0500)Tom Lydon submits: WisdomTree will launch the first earnings-weighted exchange traded funds on the American Stock Exchange on Friday, February 23. The press release states there are six domestic weighted ETFs, making a complementary family to the already existing funds. The ETFs are:
* WisdomTree Total Earnings Fund (EXT); broad market
* WisdomTree Earnings 500 Fund (EPS); large cap
* WisdomTree Mid-Cap Earnings Fund (EZM); mid-cap
* WisdomTree Small-Cap Earnings Fund (EES); small-cap
* WisdomTree Earnings Top 100 Fund (EEZ);...Is WisdomTree Moving From ETF Evolution to ETF Pollution?
(Thu, 22 Feb 2007 05:17:01 -0500)
Richard Kang submits: Further to recent articles by Tom Lydon we find continued interest in the exponential growth in ETF product development. The movement to more thinly defined sectors as well as alternative index weighting methods seems to be of great interest to many. Just yesterday I saw something from WisdomTree (WSDT.PK) about their upcoming earnings-weighted index ETFs.
I wonder what?s the longer-term plan at WisdomTree? They?re certainly pushing the envelope with arguments against...
