WisdomTree has expanded its flagship equity ETF range with the launch of the WisdomTree Global Ex-USA Quality Dividend Growth UCITS ETF (XUSA), the first smart beta ETF in Europe to offer Global developed ex-US equity exposure.
The Exchange Traded Fund seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the WisdomTree Global Developed Ex-US Quality Dividend Growth UCITS Index and listed today on Börse Xetra and Borsa Italiana with a total expense ratio (TER) of 0.30%. XUSA will list on the London Stock Exchange on 24 September 2025.
The index follows a rules-based, fundamentally driven approach and comprises high-quality dividend-paying companies from global developed ex-US markets. The index selects companies based on metrics such as high return on equity, high return on assets and strong earnings growth. By focusing on quality stocks, the strategy aims to provide both upside participation in bull markets and downside protection in downturns, while providing exposure to leading dividend growers.
The WisdomTree Global Ex-USA Quality Dividend Growth UCITS ETF delivers a unique and thoughtfully blended exposure to the Quality and Dividend factors, which in turn provide a balanced, core equity strategy through high-quality and high-profitability dividend-growing companies, at a reasonable valuation. The ETF complements the Global, US, UK and Eurozone exposures already available through WisdomTree’s Quality Dividend Growth UCITS ETF range.
While US equities remain an important core allocation for many investors, recent market dynamics like performance concentration have led some to consider diversifying their quality exposure globally. For investors seeking to complement their US holdings, global developed ex-US markets offer access to high-quality businesses that may provide different drivers of return, attractive valuations, and more balanced sector and geographic exposure, all within a quality-focused, dividend-growing framework.
Pierre Debru, Head of Research, WisdomTree, said: “The US now makes up over 70% of the MSCI World, meaning that even globally diversified portfolios can inadvertently be heavily tilted toward the US. This ETF provides a way to address this potential imbalance by focusing on high-quality, dividend-growing companies listed outside the US. Excluding US stocks from global strategies can help reduce concentration risk, add geographic diversification, and provide access to regions where dividends may be more prevalent. It’s a practical and all-weather building block for investors seeking a more globally balanced source of returns and income, while leveraging WisdomTree’s research-driven approach.”
WisdomTree’s flagship equity ETF range with $22.8bn in assets under management globally, demonstrates the value and trust investors place on WisdomTree’s research-driven, systematic approach and strong track record in smart indexing.
Alexis Marinof, CEO, Europe, WisdomTree, added: “At WisdomTree, intelligent ETF innovation means creating better ways to invest by tackling the challenges that matter most to investors, staying resilient in uncertain markets, and building portfolios that can stand the test of time. Our Quality Dividend Growth range has seen strong adoption globally, and that success reflects the power of combining disciplined research with strategies built for the real world. This launch reflects our focus on listening to what investors truly need, while anticipating where markets are heading, to design strategies that are relevant today but built to deliver lasting value over time.”
