"BNY Mellon Asset Management comprises asset management companies with individual, proprietary investment expertise, and this unique combination of talent fosters the development of innovative investment products," said Ronald P. O'Hanley, president and chief executive officer of BNY Mellon Asset Management. "The creation of new ETFs complements what BNY Mellon Asset Management does already." BNY Quantitative Equity Management Group already subadvises for WisdomTree, among others. "BNY Mellon Asset Management's ability to distribute new ETFs in the marketplace extends our capabilities to new products that are becoming increasingly important in the retail and intermediary business," O'Hanley continued.
"Dreyfus is excited to be entering the ETF business as it is an increasingly vibrant segment of asset management," said Phil Maisano, chief investment strategist of BNY Mellon Asset Management and chief investment officer of Dreyfus. "The strategic venture between Dreyfus and WisdomTree creates a formidable player as both companies bring their respective expertise to the venture."
"WisdomTree is very excited to partner with BNY Mellon Asset Management as we venture into new asset classes," said Jonathan Steinberg, WisdomTree chief executive officer. "We believe there is significant opportunity for ETFs to provide exposure to cash products around the world. Despite U.S. cash being a $3 trillion market segment, today's U.S. investor is surprisingly limited in their ability to easily hold cash in non-U.S. cash investments. We are pleased to work with a widely recognized asset management industry leader in BNY Mellon Asset Management."
Through its asset servicing business, The Bank of New York Mellon will provide full fund accounting and administration services for the new ETFs.

About WisdomTree Investments, Inc.

The WisdomTree Indexes cover all major market capitalizations, both domestically and internationally. In contrast to capitalization- weighted indexes, the WisdomTree Indexes anchor the initial weights of individual stocks to a measure of fundamental value. The company believes its approach provides investors with a viable alternative to market cap-weighted indexes.
WisdomTree Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered as an open-end investment company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Each WisdomTree ETF is a series of WisdomTree Trust. As of January 2008, assets under management in the WisdomTree trust are more than $4 billion.
There are risks associated with investing including possible loss of principal. In addition to the normal risks of investing, foreign investing involves special risks, such as risk of loss from currency fluctuation or political or economic uncertainty. Investments in real estate involve additional special risks, such as credit risk, interest rate fluctuations and the effect of varied economic conditions. Funds focusing on a single country, sector and/or smaller companies generally experience greater price volatility.
Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the funds carefully before investing. A prospectus, containing this and other information is available by calling 1-866-909-WISE. Investors should read the prospectus carefully before investing.
