WisdomTree Investments, Inc. (NASDAQ: WETF), an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) and exchange-traded product (“ETP”) sponsor and asset manager, announced today that it has completed its previously announced acquisition of ETF Securities’ European exchange-traded commodity, currency and short-and-leveraged business (“ETFS”), which includes $17.6 billion of assets under management (“AUM”) as of April 10, 2018. WisdomTree Completes Acquisition of ETF Securities European Exchange-Traded Commodity, Currency and Short-and-Leveraged Business.

With the addition of ETFS, WisdomTree’s AUM has increased to approximately $63.4 billion globally as of April 10, 2018. The acquisition elevates WisdomTree to the 9th largest ETP sponsor globally and the largest global independent ETP provider based on AUM, with significant scale and presence in the U.S. and Europe, the two largest ETP markets.

Consideration for the acquired business was $253 million of cash and stock consideration equivalent to 30 million shares of WisdomTree common stock, representing total consideration of $523 million based on the market close on April 10, 2018. The cash portion of the purchase price was funded with $53 million of balance sheet cash and $200 million from a newly raised term loan.
Jonathan Steinberg, WisdomTree CEO and President, said, “The completion of the acquisition brings together two undeniable forces in the industry, strongly positioning WisdomTree as a differentiated and diversified ETP provider that can thrive globally. Our newly combined talent and broad array of ETP offerings further expand, enhance and complement WisdomTree’s capabilities to continue to help investors achieve their investment objectives and generate long-term shareholder value.”

“The acquisition immediately adds scale, diversification and profitability to our business in Europe – the second largest ETF market in the world – and adds overall strength and resources to WisdomTree globally,” Steinberg added.

The Company will discuss the acquisition in further detail on the Q1 2018 Earnings Call.

Why is Jeff Bezos’ shareholder letter from 2000 relevant to Crypto today? Global Head of Research Eliézer Ndinga explains.

What we’re following

The next wave of economic data is critical for refining views on economic strength. Early December’s CPI and PPI reports will be especially important for confirming or adjusting inflation expectations ahead of the next Fed meeting.
Data on the labor market (such as job numbers and the unemployment rate) will also be released, which are vital for understanding wage and employment trends.
The Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index, the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, is expected on December 5. This directly steers Fed expectations and drives risk appetite for crypto.
The Employment Situation (Non-Farm Payrolls or NFP), a crucial labor report, is also expected on December 5. It provides key insight into economic strength, which can cause strong volatility in crypto through shifting rate expectations.
