The ETF is designed to track the WisdomTree Emerging Markets SmallCap Dividend Index and will be the first ETF to offer pure international exposure to primarily small-cap stocks selected from 19 emerging market nations, including countries in Europe, Asia, and Latin America. “We believe this Emerging Markets ETF offers investors access to fast-growing companies in attractive new markets with the added comfort that comes from WisdomTree's dividend-focused strategy.” said Bruce Lavine, President & COO of WisdomTree. “The launch marks WisdomTree's 27th pure international ETF, and continues our commitment to offer the most comprehensive international offering covering the developed world, emerging markets and non-U.S. sectors.” Printed from: MFWire.com/story.asp?s=16286 Copyright 2007, InvestmentWires, Inc.
