Designed to provide investors with exposure to dividend-paying stocks of companies with global growth characteristics, IHDG is intended to avoid foreign currencies depreciation relative to the US dollar. The fund has an expense ratio of 0.58%.
WisdomTree director of Research, Jeremy Schwartz, said: "During the past year, we continue to see investor interest in currency hedged strategies, including the WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity Fund (DXJ) and the WisdomTree Europe Hedged Equity Fund (HEDJ)."
With an expense ratio of 0.58%, EUDG, meanwhile, is aimed at providing exposure to dividend-paying stocks of companies with growth and quality characteristics listed on a stock exchange in the European markets including Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland or the United Kingdom.
Schwartz added: "Moreover, the launch of EUDG could be of particular interest to investors who have historically appreciated a higher quality bias in their investment approach. Many investors in international equities desire to take currency exposure, and EUDG provides this exposure."
