WisdomTree, Inc. announced the launch of the U.S. MidCap Quality Growth Fund (QMID) and U.S. SmallCap Quality Growth Fund (QSML)on the NASDAQ. QMID and QSML seek to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the WisdomTree U.S. MidCap Quality Growth Index1 and WisdomTree U.S. SmallCap Quality Growth Index2, respectively. Both funds have expense ratios of 0.38%.

QMID and QSML aim to identify stocks that have both quality and growth characteristics to avoid having to make sacrifices on either factor. Higher operating profitability (higher quality) has outpaced lower quality over time. That outperformance has been most pronounced in the smaller capitalization segments of the market.

Among investors who allocate to quality, characterized by higher efficiency and profitability, many often think large-cap3 companies equal quality. However, high-profitability small-cap4 companies have outperformed high-profitability large-caps over the long-run. The performance spread5 between high-profitability and low-profitability companies is even greater within small-cap companies as opposed to large-cap companies.

By screening for quality6 in addition to growth, the WisdomTree U.S. MidCap and SmallCap Quality Growth Indexes seek exposure to fast-growing companies with high quality scores, while filtering out highly speculative names with weaker profitability measures. QMID and QSML allow investors to: Gain core exposure to U.S. mid- and small- market capitalization companies that display strong quality and growth characteristics. Avoid the mid- and small- cap ?story stocks?

with low, or negative, profitability.
