Offers Exposure to U.S. Money Market Securities Through

                    Fully Transparent ETF Structure
NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
WisdomTree Investments, Inc. (Pink Sheets: WSDT) announced today
that the WisdomTree Trust will launch an actively managed ETF holding
U.S. money market securities. The WisdomTree U.S. Current Income Fund
will list on the NYSA Arca today, Tuesday, May 20th under ticker
symbol USY with an expense ratio of 0.25%. Mellon Capital, acting as
subadvisor, will manage the fund's assets.

   "We have seen a flight to quality demonstrated by continued
inflows into money market funds and we believe investors seeking to
manage their cash positions will welcome the daily flexibility and
transparency of the ETF structure as an important and appropriate
development," said Bruce Lavine, WisdomTree President & COO.

   Money market funds typically hold high-quality, short-term debt,
like Treasury bills; they are typically used for capital preservation.
USY will seek to earn current income while preserving capital and
maintaining liquidity by investing primarily in very short term,
high-quality money market instruments denominated in U.S. dollars.
Although USY invests in very short-term, investment grade instruments,
the fund is not a "money market" fund and it is not the objective of
the fund to maintain a constant share price.

   About WisdomTree Investments, Inc.

   WisdomTree Investments, Inc. has developed the first family of
fundamentally weighted indexes and ETFs. The WisdomTree Indexes cover
all major market capitalizations, both domestically and
internationally. In contrast to capitalization-weighted indexes, the
WisdomTree Indexes anchor the initial weights of individual stocks to
a measure of fundamental value. The company believes its approach
provides investors with a viable alternative to market cap-weighted
indexes.

   WisdomTree Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered as an
open-end investment company with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Each WisdomTree ETF is a series of WisdomTree Trust. As of
May 2008, assets under management in the WisdomTree Trust are more
than $4.9 billion.

   There are risks associated with investing including possible loss
of principal. Investments in this fund involve additional special
risks, such as credit risk, interest rate fluctuations, derivative
investment risk and the effect of varied economic conditions. As these
funds can have a high concentration in some issuers the funds can be
adversely impacted by changes affecting those issuers. Unlike typical
exchange-traded funds, there is no index that this Fund attempts to
track or replicate. Thus, the ability of the Fund to achieve its
objectives will depend on the effectiveness of the portfolio manager.
Please read the fund's prospectus for specific details regarding the
fund's risk profile.

   Investors should consider the objectives, risks, charges and
expenses of the Funds carefully before investing. A prospectus
