WisdomTree Expands Quality Dividend Growth ETF Range with Currency-Hedged Options

WisdomTree has introduced GBP and EUR currency-hedged share classes for the WisdomTree US Quality Dividend Growth UCITS ETF on multiple stock exchanges. The new offerings, named WisdomTree US Quality Dividend Growth UCITS ETF – GBP Hedged (DGRB) and WisdomTree US Quality Dividend Growth UCITS ETF – EUR Hedged Acc (DGRE), carry a total expense ratio of 0.35 per cent.
The ETF is designed around companies that exhibit strong Earnings Growth, Return on Equity, and Return on Assets, within an ESG-screened pool of firms with sustainable dividend policies. The portfolio also incorporates a proprietary risk screen called Composite Risk Score, which employs Quality and Momentum metrics to identify and exclude high-risk and potential value trap companies. Each company’s weight in the portfolio is determined by its cash dividend paid, introducing a valuation discipline.
This approach creates a distinctive blend of Quality and Value factors, offering exposure to high-quality, high-profitability dividend-growth companies with a reasonable valuation. The ETF serves as a well-balanced core equity strategy, catering to investors seeking a unique and thoughtfully curated investment opportunity.
