As described by WisdomTree,<\/p>\n

\n

t<\/em>he Index is comprised of the 300 largest companies ranked by market capitalization from the WisdomTree International Equity Index. Companies are weighted in the Index based on annual cash dividends paid.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It includes developed countries except the U.S. and Canada. As it is weighted based on paid dividends (not yield), it favors large and mega-cap companies, which represent about 85% of asset value.<\/p>\n

European companies have an aggregate weight over 60% in the portfolio, but the heaviest country is Japan with 16.9% of assets. Hong Kong weighs 3.25%, so direct exposure to geopolitical risks related to China is low. The next chart plots the top 15 countries, representing 98.2% of the fund\u2019s asset value.<\/span><\/p>\n
