PRESS RELEASE — WisdomTree, Inc. (NYSE: WT), a global financial innovator, today announced the launch of the WisdomTree Quantum Computing Fund (WQTM) on the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), with an expense ratio of 0.45%. WQTM seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the WisdomTree Classiq Quantum Computing Index.
“Quantum computing is crossing the threshold from theory to commercial reality, the way electricity left the laboratory in the late 1800s, semiconductors leapt from military contracts to consumer products in the 1960s, and the internet rewired society in the 1990s,” said Chris Gannatti, Global Head of Research at WisdomTree. “We designed WQTM to give investors early access to this next major transformation, one that is anticipated to redefine finance, pharmaceuticals, climate science, and cybersecurity at their very foundations.”
Supported by WisdomTree’s research and Classiq, a specialist in quantum software, WQTM provides investors with targeted exposure to the quantum computing ecosystem by capturing companies from pure-play innovators in hardware and software to diversified technology leaders. By blending focused exposure to quantum pioneers with broader tech companies, the Fund offers a balance of purity and relevancy.
