WisdomTree Renames Funds

New York-based Wisdom Tree Investments has changed the names of six of its stock ETFs to include “equity income fund.”

“The equity income name better articulates the investment strategy of these six funds which focus on the highest dividend-yielding stocks in their respective indexes,” stated WisdomTree’s president & COO Bruce Lavine. He added, “Equity income continues to be an important category for investors.”

The new (and old) names are as follows:

-DHS WisdomTree Equity Income Fund (WisdomTree High-Yielding Equity Fund);

-DTH WisdomTree DEFA Equity Income Fund (WisdomTree DEFA High-Yielding Equity Fund);
