WisdomTree Announces First Quarter 2009 Results

Continued net inflows for the quarter

24 out of 42 equity funds outperformed benchmarks through Q1

Approximately 69% of equity assets currently in funds that have beaten
respective benchmarks since inception

Company decides to enter leveraged and inverse category with innovative solution
NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
WisdomTree (Pink Sheets: WSDT - News), an industry leading index developer and
exchange-traded fund ("ETF") sponsor, today reported a net loss of $6.0 million
in the first quarter of 2009 as compared to $5.0 million in the fourth quarter
of 2008. Proforma operating net loss, which excludes stock-based compensation,
depreciation and amortization, and interest and investment income, was $4.0
million in the quarter as compared to $3.0 million in the fourth quarter.

WisdomTree CEO Jonathan Steinberg commented, "Though the challenging market
environment has continued into 2009, the financial crisis has served to
highlight the important benefits of ETFs. We continue to see net inflows into
the ETF industry and at WisdomTree at the expense of other investment products
thanks to the importance investors continue to place on transparency, liquidity
and tax efficiency.

"WisdomTree has taken steps to diversify its product set and evolve as an asset
management company. The Company has broadened its equity offerings, entered the
fixed income asset class and announced its intentions to enter other new
categories with innovative offerings. These are among the developments we
believe will position WisdomTree competitively for an eventual market recovery."

Assets Under Management and Performance

As of March 31, 2009, assets under management ("AUM") tied to the WisdomTree
indexes were $3.2 billion and ETF AUM was $2.8 billion, both down 13% from
December 31, 2008. Net inflows into WisdomTree ETFs were $22.5 million in the
first quarter.

WisdomTree`s fundamentally weighted ETFs experienced relatively strong
investment performance through the first quarter. Approximately 69% of the $2.6
billion invested in WisdomTree`s 42 equity ETFs on March 31, 2009 were in funds
that, since their respective inceptions, have outperformed their benchmarks
through that date. 24 of WisdomTree`s 42 equity ETFs outperformed their
comparable benchmarks since inception through the first quarter. For complete

U.S. Current Income ETF (USY) into a short-term government bond fund. The Fund
will be renamed the WisdomTree Short-Term Government Income Fund. These changes
reposition USY as a unique short-term bond ETF focused on government securities
at the short end of the yield curve. These changes will be implemented at the

International Dividend ex-Financials Fund. Both Funds will continue to invest in
high dividend-yielding stocks, but they will no longer invest in companies in
the financial sector. These changes will be implemented beginning in early May.
The change will diversify WisdomTree`s dividend offerings and create the
industry`s first dividend-focused ETFs that exclude financials.
* On April 10, 2009, WisdomTree announced the WisdomTree Low P/E Fund (EZY) will
change its investment objective and be renamed the WisdomTree LargeCap Value
Fund. The Fund will seek to track the performance of WisdomTree`s new
fundamentally weighted index that measures the performance of large cap value
companies in the United States. These changes will be implemented on or about
June 19, 2009.

Future Product Plans

Leveraged and Inverse

The leveraged and inverse category was the fastest-growing part of the industry
in 2008. However, many investors have expressed concerns over capital gain
distributions and significant inconsistencies in directional movement associated
with existing leveraged and inverse products when held over longer investment
periods. WisdomTree believes it has identified an innovative solution to these
two issues for both long-term and short-term investors and intends to enter this
category after obtaining regulatory approval for its products.

Fixed Income

WisdomTree intends to launch the WisdomTree Real Return Fund. This will be a
fixed income fund designed to provide investors with a target return in excess
of the inflation rate through investment in TIPS and commodities.

Commodities

WisdomTree intends to launch the WisdomTree Long-Short Commodity Fund. This will
be a commodity fund designed to generate an absolute return through a dynamic
allocation to long and short commodity positions.

Alternative

WisdomTree intends to launch the WisdomTree Absolute Return Fund. This fund will
seek to generate an absolute return through a dynamic allocation to long and
short commodity and financial futures positions.

WisdomTree intends to launch the WisdomTree Long-Short Equity Fund. This fund
will seek to give investors "market neutral" exposure to U.S. and non-U.S.
equity markets. It will be an actively managed strategy designed to capture
potential excess returns between WisdomTree ETFs and comparable
capitalization-weighted indexes.

Currency Hedged Equities

WisdomTree intends to launch the WisdomTree DEFA Hedged Fund. This will be a
currency hedged international equity strategy.

First Quarter Financial Highlights

Comparison to the fourth quarter of 2008

Revenues

Total revenues for the first quarter decreased 12.5% to $3.7 million as compared
to $4.2 million in the fourth quarter. Average ETF assets under management
decreased 9% primarily due to market declines despite $22.5 million of net
inflows. The average advisory fee earned during the first quarter was 0.50% down
from 0.51% in the fourth quarter primarily due to a change in the mix of ETFs
assets.

The overall market declines in the first quarter contributed significantly to
reducing ETF asset levels to a low of $2.4 billion on March 9, 2009, a level
WisdomTree last experienced in the first quarter of 2007. Since that low, ETF
asset levels have increased 25% to $3.0 billion as of April 29, 2009.

Expenses

Total expenses increased 5.3% to $9.9 million, from $9.4 million in the fourth
quarter. Excluding stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization
charges, proforma operating expenses increased 6.8% to $7.7 million, from $7.2
million in the fourth quarter.

On an annualized basis, first quarter proforma operating expenses declined 25%
from the comparable full year 2008 amount due to continuing cost reduction
actions to lower the Company`s operating expense levels. However, market
declines, which led to lower revenues, exceeded these reductions contributing to
a higher proforma operating loss in the first quarter compared to the fourth
quarter.

* Compensation and benefits expense increased 72.8% to $4.8 million from $2.8
million in the fourth quarter. Excluding stock-based compensation, compensation
and benefits expense increased to $2.7 million from $1.0 million. The increase
was primarily due to changes in accruals for incentive compensation. The fourth
quarter of 2008 reflected a true up adjustment to reduce incentive compensation
for the full year. The first quarter of 2009 reflects a normalized, and lower
level, of incentive compensation on an annual basis.
* Fund management and administration expenses decreased 18.4% to $3.2 million
from $3.9 million in the fourth quarter primarily due to lower portfolio
management and fund administration fees due to lower average asset levels.
* Marketing and business development decreased 8.0% to $0.9 million from $1.0
million in the fourth quarter due to lower advertising spending due to the
current market environment.
* Professional fees were relatively flat at $0.3 million; however, excluding
stock based compensation, professional fees declined 45.2% primarily due to
lower legal fees.
* Occupancy, communications and equipment expense decreased 24.5% to $0.3
million from $0.4 million in the fourth quarter due to sub-leasing excess office
space in our corporate office.
* Other expenses decreased 60.3% to $0.4 million from $1.0 from the fourth
quarter. Excluding stock-based compensation, other expenses decreased 27.1% to
$0.4 million from $0.5 million. The fourth quarter of 2008 reflected a non-cash
loss for excess sub-leased office space.

Balance Sheet

As of March 31, 2009, WisdomTree had total assets of $31.3 million which
consisted primarily of cash and cash equivalents of $10.6 million, and
investments in U.S. agency debt instruments of $16.9 million. WisdomTree has no
debt. There were approximately 106.9 million shares outstanding as of March 31,
2009. Fully diluted shares outstanding were approximately 128.3 million as of
March 31, 2009.

2008 Results

As stated in its fourth quarter 2008 earnings release, the Company determined it
had incorrectly accounted for certain stock-based awards granted from 2003
through 2008. The cumulative affect of the adjustments correcting this error is
an overstatement of $0.4 million. A schedule of the proposed adjustments and
affect on the Company`s 2008 results are included in this release. The Company
is currently working with its previous auditors to restate its prior results and
will publish its restated audited results when the review is complete.

conference call on Thursday, April 30 at 9:00 a.m. ET. The call-in number will

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation

In an effort to provide additional information regarding our results as
determined by GAAP, we also disclose certain non-GAAP information which we
believe provides useful and meaningful information. Our management reviews this
non-GAAP financial measurement when evaluating our financial performance and
results of operations; therefore, we believe it is useful to provide information
with respect to these non-GAAP measurements so as to share this perspective of
management. Non-GAAP measurements do not have any standardized meaning and are
therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other
companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in the context
with our GAAP results.

We have disclosed our results excluding certain non-operating items. We consider
stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization and interest and
investment income as non-operating items. Management excludes these costs when
measuring our financial performance as they are non-cash charges or not directly
related to our business of being an index developer and ETF sponsor. As the
company is currently incurring net losses, management focuses on its cash
related expenses of being an index developer and ETF sponsor in measuring the
financial health of its business and making related decisions. However,
stock-based compensation has been and will continue to be for the foreseeable
future, a significant recurring expense in our business and stock-based
compensation is an important part of our employees' compensation and impacts
their performance.

Forward Looking Statements

Statements in this Press Release regarding WisdomTree Investments, Inc. that are
not historical facts are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers are cautioned not to
place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, each of which
speaks only as of the date made. We have no obligation to publicly release the
result of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to
reflect unanticipated events or circumstances occurring after the date of such
statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other important factors, some of which are listed below, that
could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from any future
results or outcomes expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In
assessing the forward-looking statements contained herein, readers are urged to
carefully read the following risks and considerations:

* We have a limited operating history in our investment management business upon
which you may evaluate us and we have experienced significant losses to date.
* Our ability to become profitable is dependent upon our ability to increase our
assets under management and to control our expenses.
* Changes in the equity markets have a direct impact on our assets under
management. A downturn in the equity markets can result in a significant
reduction in assets under management, which, in turn, directly reduces our
revenues.
* The mix of our assets under management could be subject to significant
fluctuations and could adversely affect our revenues.
* Poor investment performance of our ETFs is likely to lead to a reduction in
our assets under management and a reduction in our revenues.
* If our reputation is harmed we could suffer losses in revenue.
* The asset management industry is highly competitive and most of our
competitors are larger companies with greater resources.
* We rely very heavily on third-party vendors, such as BNY Mellon, Standard &
Poor`s, and Bloomberg, to provide us with services that are very important to
our business. If any of those vendors decided to terminate their relationship
with us, we might experience a disruption in our ability to do business while we
retain an alternative vendor.
* A failure in our operational systems or infrastructure, or those of the
third-party vendors, could disrupt our operations, damage our reputation, and
reduce our revenues.
* Our business is subject to extensive regulation, and compliance failures and
changes in regulation could adversely affect us.
* We depend on key personnel and the loss of such personnel could disrupt our
ability to do develop new product and conduct our business.
* Our principal stockholders, including our directors and officers, control a
large percentage of our shares of common stock and can control our corporate
actions.

Past performance is no indication of future results.
