WisdomTree Launches Fundamentally Weighted LargeCap Growth Fund (ROI)

First Fundamentally Weighted Growth Fund Offers Broad-Based Exposure to Large-Cap U.S. Growth Segment New York, NY – (BUSINESS WIRE) – December 3, 2008 – WisdomTree (Pink Sheets:
WSDT - News), a leading ETF sponsor and index developer, today announced the anticipated launch of the WisdomTree LargeCap Growth Fund (ROI) on the NYSE Arca on Thursday, December 4th with an expense ratio of 0.38%.

Wharton Professor Jeremy Siegel, Senior Advisor to WisdomTree, commented “I devoted the first chapter of my book, The Future for Investors, to what I call the ‘Growth Trap,’ the long-standing problem of investors paying too much for the future prospects of
growth companies.”

Jonathan Steinberg, WisdomTree CEO added “We believe growth’s historic underperformance may have more to do with how the major growth indexes are constructed, than with growth stocks themselves. WisdomTree’s investment philosophy can be applied across the entire field of equity investing. Bringing our fundamental
weighting methodology to the growth universe is an important extension of our effort to address what we believe to be the flaws of traditional, market capitalization-weighted indexes.”

ROI is designed to track the WisdomTree LargeCap Growth Index, a fundamentally weighted index which measures the stock performance of approximately 300 large-cap growth companies in the U.S, with initial weights of each company in the index set
annually based on earnings generated in the prior four fiscal quarters.

third parties for proprietary products and offers a platform to promote the use of WisdomTree ETFs in 401(k) plans. Approximately $3.5 billion in assets are currently managed against the WisdomTree Indexes by WisdomTree and third parties under license from WisdomTree.
