The WisdomTree Global Defense Fund (WDGF) provides investors with a focused avenue to engage with the global defense industry. Its core aim is to replicate the total return, encompassing both price and yield performance – before any fees or expenses are applied – of its designated benchmark, the WisdomTree Global Defense Index.
