Overview
The WisdomTree Artificial Intelligence and Innovation Fund (WTAI) operates within the Thematic category, which ETFValuer currently tracks with 17 distinct funds. Issued by WisdomTree, this fund has accumulated assets under management of $669 million while trading at a price of $36.50 per share. It holds an overall rank of #194 out of 458 tracked ETFs across all categories and has received an ETFValuer grade of C with a score of 63.0 out of 100. The fund charges an expense ratio of 0.45% and offers a dividend yield of 1.12%. The current asset size and price point suggest a moderate level of investor adoption relative to the broader universe of 458 funds. This positioning places the fund in the middle tier of the overall tracked universe while maintaining a specific focus on artificial intelligence and innovation themes.
Recent price action shows significant short-term weakness with a one-day return of -4.43% and a one-week decline of -7.99%. This negative momentum extended into the one-month period, which recorded a substantial drop of -21.44%. However, the trend reversed over the longer horizons, as the three-month return turned positive at +2.82%. The six-month performance accelerated further to +20.22%, and year-to-date returns have reached +23.44%. Annual returns have been particularly strong at +46.51%, while the three-year return stands at +84.91%. This pattern indicates a sharp divergence between recent short-term volatility and sustained long-term growth.
The fund carries a volatility label of Very High and exhibits a beta of 2.04, indicating that its price movements are significantly more sensitive to market fluctuations than the broader benchmark. A Sharpe ratio of 1.13 suggests that the fund has generated a favorable risk-adjusted return relative to the volatility it has experienced. Despite these positive risk-adjusted metrics, the fund has endured a maximum drawdown of -31.83% during its history. This combination of a very high beta and deep drawdown implies that the fund is prone to sharp declines during market downturns. Investors should expect amplified price swings in both directions, with the potential for rapid recovery following periods of significant loss.

WTAI Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment
Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is 5.94% and average daily volume is 319K/day. Tighter spreads and higher volume mean lower round-trip trading costs; this is a live-market snapshot and can widen during volatile sessions. AUM of $669M provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.
Domicile & tax treatment: WTAI is a US-domiciled, SEC-registered ('40 Act) exchange-traded fund. Dividends and capital gains distributions are reported to US investors on Form 1099-DIV, and the fund is not subject to the PFIC reporting or UCITS-specific rules that apply to Irish- or Luxembourg-domiciled funds. Non-US investors should note that US-domiciled ETFs are generally subject to 30% US withholding tax on dividends (unless reduced by treaty) and to US estate tax exposure on the position — Irish-domiciled UCITS ETFs tracking the same index often avoid both, which is why non-US residents frequently prefer the UCITS equivalent where one exists. This is general information, not tax advice — consult a tax professional for your situation.
