WisdomTree To Introduce Global Real Return Active ETF

ETF issuer WisdomTree plans to introduce a Global Real Return ETF, an actively managed ETF focused on generating returns that trump inflation over long-term holding periods. While it can be argued that actively managed ETFs still have a lot of work to do with investors, WisdomTree has been fairly successful in the actively managed field and the new ETF could be viewed as a potential rival for the PIMCO Global Advantage Inflation-Linked Bond Strategy Fund. The new WisdomTree fund will invest in fixed income instruments issued by commodities exporters such as Australia, Canada, Brazil, South Africa and Chile. The fund will also invest in US Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) which are bonds with principals and coupons that are adjusted upward in response to inflation rates, according to ETF Daily News. WisdomTree has yet to announce a ticker and expense ratios for the new fund.
