WISDOMTREE U.S. CORPORATE BOND FUND (USD) QIG.US

The WisdomTree U.S. Corporate Bond Fund is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to replicate the performance of a specific corporate bond index. Its investment objective is to track, before fees and expenses, the WisdomTree U.S. Quality Corporate Bond Index - which captures U.S.-domiciled, investment-grade corporate bonds that meet certain fundamental and income criteria.

The Index uses a rules-based screen and tilt approach. Eligibility requires bonds to have fixed coupons, at least USD 350 million in par amount outstanding, a remaining maturity of at least one year, and a credit rating of investment grade (at least BBB-/Baa3).

Bonds are then scored on fundamental metrics (such as cash flow, profitability, leverage), and tilted toward those with favorable income and valuation characteristics. The fund's asset class is U.S. investment-grade corporate debt.

It invests in corporate fixed income securities issued by public companies domiciled in the United States. The strategy is of the "passive management" or indexing variety and it generally uses representative sampling to achieve exposure to the Index.

The fund is offered by WisdomTree (WisdomTree Inc., through its subsidiary WisdomTree Asset Management) and is structured as a U.S.-listed ETF.
