WisdomTree U.S. Adaptive Moving Average Fund - WAMA (NASDAQ)
Summary Prospectus - March 10, 2026
Before you invest in the Fund, as defined below, you may want to review the Fund's prospectus and statement of additional information ("SAI"), which contain more information about the Fund and the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund's current prospectus and SAI are incorporated by reference into this summary prospectus. You can find the Fund's prospectus and SAI, reports to shareholders, as well as other information about the Fund, online at www.wisdomtree.com/investments/resource-library/prospectus-regulatory-reports. You may also obtain this information at no charge by calling 1-866-909-9473 or by sending an e-mail request to [email protected].
Investment Objective
The WisdomTree U.S. Adaptive Moving Average Fund (the "Fund") seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the WisdomTree U.S. Adaptive Moving Average Index (the "Index").
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
The following table describes the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and example below. The fees are expressed as a percentage of the Fund's average net assets.
| Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment) | None |
| Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) | |
| Management Fees | 0.32% |
| Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees | None |
| Other Expenses | 0.00%1 |
| Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses | 0.32% |
| 1 | Other Expenses are based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year. |
Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The example assumes you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem or hold all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:
| 1 Year | 3 Years |
| $33 | $103 |
Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Fund's Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. The Fund is newly organized and therefore, portfolio turnover information is not yet available.
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
The Fund employs a "passive management" - or indexing - investment approach designed to track the performance of the Index. The Fund generally uses a representative sampling strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it generally will invest in a sample of the securities in the Index whose risk, return and other
|
WisdomTree Trust Prospectus 1 |
characteristics resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Index as a whole. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in constituents of the Index and/or investments that have economic characteristics that are substantially similar to the economic characteristics of such constituents.
WisdomTree, Inc. ("WisdomTree"), the Index Provider and parent company of the Fund's investment adviser, WisdomTree Asset Management, Inc. ("WisdomTree Asset Management" or the "Adviser"), designed the Index to provide exposure to U.S. equity securities and U.S. Treasury bills that adapts, on a daily basis, to rising and falling trends in the U.S. equity market. The Index is maintained in accordance with a rules-based methodology overseen and implemented by the WisdomTree Core Equity Index Committee (the "Index Committee").
The Index consists of the equity constituents of the WisdomTree 500 Index, U.S. Treasury bills, and other instruments that in combination have economic characteristics similar or equivalent to those securities. The WisdomTree 500 Index is a market-capitalization weighted index composed of equity securities of U.S. large-capitalization companies. A company is considered a U.S. company if it conducts its Primary Business Activities in the U.S. The country in which a company conducts its Primary Business Activities is determined based on one or more of the following factors: country of organization or incorporation, country in which a company's headquarters is located, the country to which a company has the greatest risk exposure, and the country from which a company generates the most significant portion of its revenue or to which it allocates the greatest resources.
The Index seeks to adapt to rising and falling trends in the U.S. equity market by allocating its weightings among U.S. equity securities or U.S. Treasury bills as indicated by a price trend signal developed by WisdomTree. This signal determines the Index's constituent allocation by applying a "moving average crossover" analysis to the total returns of the WisdomTree 500 Index, which generates a ratio comparing the WisdomTree 500 Index's closing price on a given day with its average closing price over the last 200 days. Where the ratio is above 1.01 for two consecutive trading days, the Index allocates 100% of its weight to the WisdomTree 500 Index. The constituents of the WisdomTree 500 Index included in the Index are market capitalization weighted. Where the ratio is at or below 1.01 for two consecutive trading days, the Index allocates 100% of its weight to U.S. Treasury bills. Once 100% of the Index's weight is allocated to the WisdomTree 500 Index, that allocation will be maintained as long as the ratio remains above 1.01. Similarly, once 100% of the Index's weight is allocated to U.S. Treasury bills, that allocation will be maintained as long as the ratio remains at or below 1.01. The moving average crossover ratio is calculated on each business day, with the Index changing its allocation (i.e., reconstituting the Index) to the WisdomTree International 500 Index or U.S. Treasury bills, as needed in response to the ratio.
To enhance responsiveness during market downturns, the Index incorporates a breadth overlay. This measure captures the percentage of WisdomTree 500 Index constituents that are trading above their respective 200-day average closing price. When 100% of the Index weight is allocated to U.S. Treasury bills and more than 15% of the constituents of the WisdomTree 500 Index trade above their respective 200-day average closing price, the Index reallocates 100% of its weight to the WisdomTree 500 Index. If the market price of the WisdomTree 500 Index drops by more than 5% since the Index's allocation to the WisdomTree 500 Index, a stop-loss mechanism is applied, which causes the Index to allocate to 100% of its weight to U.S. Treasury bills at market close on the day following the day on which the stop-loss threshold is breached.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests in a combination of investments that provide direct and indirect exposure to U.S. equity securities and U.S. Treasury bills. The Fund may invest in futures to achieve its exposure to some or all of the constituents of the Index. For example, the Fund may determine to invest up to 100% of its assets in futures that provide short exposure to equities when the Index allocates 100% of its weight to U.S. Treasury bills to hedge exposure to the U.S. equity market. To achieve its investment objective, the Fund also may invest in, among other investments, exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), and in U.S. government securities, money market funds, and cash and cash equivalents, to serve as collateral or margin for the Fund's investments in derivatives investments. The Fund expects to engage in active and frequent trading of its portfolio securities.
The Adviser currently uses a widely recognized industry classification methodology to identify the extent of the Fund's exposure to a sector or industry. A sector typically is composed of multiple industries. While the Fund's sector exposure may vary from time to time, the Fund is expected to have significant exposure (e.g., approximately 15% or more of the Fund's holdings) to the Information Technology Sector.
To the extent the Index is concentrated in the securities of companies assigned to a particular industry or group of related industries, the Fund will seek to concentrate its investments (i.e., invest more than 25% of its assets) in such industry or group of related industries to approximately the same extent as the Index.

Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
You can lose money on your investment in the Fund. While certain of the risks are prioritized in terms of their relevance to the Fund's investment strategies, most risks are presented in alphabetical order. This ordering approach is designed to both facilitate an investor's understanding of the Fund's risks and enable an investor to easily locate and compare risks among funds. Each risk summarized below is considered a "principal risk" of investing in the Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears. Some or all of these risks may adversely affect the Fund's net asset value per share ("NAV"), trading price, yield, total return and/or ability to meet its investment objective. For more information about the risks of investing in the Fund, see the sections in the Fund's Prospectus titled "Additional Principal Risk Information About the Fund" and "Additional Non-Principal Risk Information."
| ■ | Adaptive Strategy Risk. In seeking to adapt to rising and falling trends in the U.S. equity market, the Index and, therefore, the Fund, allocates its assets to equity or fixed income securities. These allocations and the timing of the allocations may result in performance that is less favorable than that of a portfolio that does not make such allocations. There can be no guarantee that the adaptive strategy will work as intended. The strategy may result in periods of underperformance, limit the Fund's ability to participate in rising markets, and increase transaction costs. |
| ■ | Large-Capitalization Investing Risk. The Fund invests in the securities of large-capitalization companies. As a result, the Fund's performance may be adversely affected if securities of these companies underperform securities of smaller capitalization companies or the market as a whole. Large-capitalization companies may adapt more slowly to new competitive challenges and be subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion. |
| ■ | U.S. Government Securities Risk. U.S. government securities may or may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. U.S. government securities are subject to the risks associated with fixed income and debt securities, particularly interest rate risk and credit risk, but may provide relatively lower returns than those of other securities. Similar to other issuers, changes to the financial condition or credit rating of the U.S. government may cause the value of the Fund's U.S. government securities to decline. In addition, U.S. government securities not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government involve credit risk that is greater than other types of U.S. government securities. |
| ■ | Investment Risk. As with all investments, an investment in the Fund is subject to loss, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount of an investment, over short or long periods of time. |
| ■ | Market Risk. The trading prices of securities and other instruments fluctuate in response to a variety of factors, such as economic, financial or political events that impact the entire market, market segments, or specific issuers. The Fund's NAV and market price may fluctuate significantly in response to these and other factors. As a result, an investor could lose money over short or long periods of time. |
| ■ | Shares of the Fund May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Fund shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The market prices of the Fund's shares in the secondary market generally differ from the Fund's daily NAV, and there may be times when the market price of the shares is more than the NAV (premium) or less than the NAV (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines. Additionally, in stressed market conditions, the market for the Fund's shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the markets for the Fund's underlying portfolio holdings. |
| ■ | Cash Redemption Risk. The Fund generally redeems shares for cash or otherwise includes cash as part of its redemption proceeds. The Fund may be required to sell or unwind its portfolio investments to obtain the cash needed to pay out redemption proceeds. This may cause the Fund to recognize capital gains that it might not have recognized if it had satisfied such redemption requests with securities held by the Fund (i.e., redeemed its shares in kind). As a result, the Fund may pay out higher annual capital gains distributions than a fund that redeems its shares in kind. |
| ■ | Counterparty and Issuer Credit Risk. As a result of its financial condition, the issuer of a debt security or other instrument, or the counterparty to a derivative or other contract, may default, become unable to pay interest or principal due or otherwise fail to honor its obligations or be perceived (whether by market participants, rating agencies, pricing services or otherwise) as being in such situations. The value of an investment in the Fund may change quickly and without warning in response to issuer or counterparty defaults, changes in the credit ratings of the Fund's portfolio investments and/or perceptions related thereto. |
| ■ | Cybersecurity Risk. The Fund and its service providers may be susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from a breach in cybersecurity, including cyber-attacks. A breach in cybersecurity, |
|
WisdomTree Trust Prospectus 3 |
| intentional or unintentional, may adversely impact the Fund in many ways, including, but not limited to, disruption of the Fund's operational capacity, loss of proprietary information, theft or corruption of data, denial-of-service attacks on websites or network resources, and the unauthorized release of confidential information. Cyber-attacks affecting the Fund's third-party service providers, market makers, institutional investors authorized to purchase and redeem shares directly from the Fund (i.e., Authorized Participants), or the issuers of securities in which the Fund invests may subject the Fund to many of the same risks associated with direct cybersecurity breaches. |
| ■ | Derivatives Risk. Derivatives are financial instruments that derive their performance from an underlying reference asset, such as a currency or a commodity. Generally, derivatives are sophisticated investments that may pose risks that are different from or greater than those posed by investing directly in the underlying reference asset. For example, the return on a derivative instrument may not correlate with that of its underlying reference asset, and minimal requisite initial investments necessary to purchase derivatives positions may expose the Fund to losses in excess of those amounts. Derivatives also can be volatile and may be less liquid than other investments. As a result, the value of an investment in the Fund may change quickly and without warning and you may lose money. The Fund may use futures contracts to implement its principal investment strategies. Risks specific to futures contracts, as well as other risks related to the use of derivatives, generally, such as counterparty and issuer credit risk, are described in greater detail elsewhere in the Fund's Prospectus. A futures contract is an agreement to buy or sell assets at a fixed price, but to be delivered and paid for later. |
| ■ | Geographic Investment Risk. The Fund expects to invest most of its assets in the securities of U.S. companies and is therefore, more likely to be impacted by events or conditions affecting the United States. |
Investments in the United States
The economic, political, regulatory and other events and conditions that affect issuers and investments in the United States differ significantly from those associated with other countries and regions. For example, routine political events, such as a presidential election, can have a significant effect on the U.S. markets and lead to periods of increased volatility. U.S. financial markets also have become increasingly globalized, hosting participants from all over the world and on a more macro level, becoming more tightly integrated with financial markets around the world. As a result, U.S. financial markets are also increasingly vulnerable to the risks that may affect non-U.S. financial markets. Any event or condition that affects the U.S. economy, whether originating from within or outside of the United States, may have an adverse effect on the Fund's investments in the United States and thus, the Fund's performance.
| ■ | Geopolitical Risk. The United States has and may continue to experience security concerns, war, threats of war, aggression and/or conflict, terrorism, economic uncertainty, sanctions or the threat of sanctions, natural and environmental disasters, the spread of infectious illness, widespread disease or other public health issues and/or systemic market dislocations that lead to increased short-term market volatility, have adverse long-term effects on the U.S. and world economies, and disrupt the orderly functioning of securities markets generally, which may negatively impact the Fund's investments. |
| ■ | Index and Data Risk. The Fund seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Index. The Index may not perform as intended. The Index Provider has the right to make adjustments to the composition and/or operation of the Index or to cease making the Index available without regard to the particular interests of the Fund or its shareholders. If the computers or other facilities of the Index Provider, Index calculation agent, data providers and/or relevant stock exchange malfunction for any reason, calculation and dissemination of index values may be delayed and trading in Fund shares may be suspended for a period of time. Errors in index data, index calculations and/or the construction of the Index may occur from time to time and may not be identified and/or corrected by the Index Provider, Index calculation agent, or any other party for a period of time or at all, which may have an adverse impact on the Index as well as the Fund and its shareholders. The potential risk of a continuing error may be particularly heightened in the case of the Index, which is generally not used as a benchmark by other funds or managers. |
| ■ | Information Technology Sector Risk. The Fund currently invests a significant portion of its assets in the Information Technology Sector, and therefore, the Fund's performance could be negatively impacted by events affecting this sector. The Information Technology Sector includes, for example, companies that offer software and information technology services, manufacturers and distributors of technology hardware and equipment such as communications equipment, cellular phones, computers and peripherals, electronic equipment and related instruments, and semiconductors and related equipment and materials. This sector can be significantly affected by, among other things, the supply and demand for specific products and services, the pace of technological development, and government regulation. |

| ■ | Investment in Investment Companies Risk. Investing in other investment companies, including ETFs, money market funds, and other mutual funds, certain of which may be managed by the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser subjects the Fund to those risks affecting the other investment company, including the possibility that the value of the underlying securities held by the investment company could decrease or the portfolio becomes illiquid. Moreover, the Fund and its shareholders will incur its pro rata share of an underlying investment company's expenses, which will reduce the Fund's performance. In addition, investments in an ETF are subject to, among other risks, the risk that the shares may trade at a discount or premium relative to the NAV of the shares and the listing exchange may halt trading of the shares. |
| ■ | Liquidity Risk. The Fund may invest in derivatives and other instruments that may be less liquid than other types of investments. The derivatives in which the Fund invests may not always be liquid. This could have a negative effect on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective and may result in losses to Fund shareholders. |
| ■ | Non-Correlation Risk. As with all index funds, the performance of the Fund and that of the Index may differ from each other for a variety of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs operating expenses and portfolio transaction costs, while also managing cash flows and potential operational inefficiencies, not incurred by the Index. In addition, when markets are volatile, the ability to sell securities at fair market prices may be adversely affected and may result in additional trading costs and/or increase the non-correlation risk. The Fund's use of sampling techniques also may affect its ability to achieve close correlation with the Index. |
| ■ | Non-Diversification Risk. The Fund is considered to be non-diversified, which means that it may invest more of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if it were a diversified fund. To the extent the Fund invests a significant percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers, the Fund is subject to the risks of investing in those few issuers, and may be more susceptible to a single adverse economic or regulatory occurrence. As a result, changes in the market value of a single security could cause greater fluctuations in the value of Fund shares than would occur in a diversified fund. |
| ■ | Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund's investment strategy is expected to result in a high portfolio turnover rate. Higher portfolio turnover may result in the Fund paying higher transaction costs and the distribution of additional capital gains, which may generate greater tax liabilities for shareholders who hold the shares in taxable accounts. Increased transaction costs and distributions of capital gains may negatively affect the Fund's performance. |
Fund Performance
The Fund is new and therefore does not yet have performance history. Once the Fund has completed a full calendar year of operations, a bar chart and table will be included that will provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing the variability of the Fund's return based on net assets and comparing the Fund's performance to a broad measure of market performance. Updated performance information for the Fund will be available online on the Fund's website at www.wisdomtree.com/investments.

Buying and Selling Fund Shares
The Fund is an ETF. This means that individual shares of the Fund are listed for trading on a national securities exchange, currently NASDAQ (the "Listing Exchange"), and may only be purchased and sold in the secondary market through a broker-dealer at market prices. Because Fund shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount). In addition, an investor may incur costs attributable to the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares (ask) when buying and selling shares in the secondary market (the "bid/ask spread"). Recent information regarding the Fund, including its NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid/ask spreads, is available on the Fund's website at www.wisdomtree.com/investments.
The Fund issues and redeems shares at NAV only in large blocks of shares ("Creation Units"), which only certain institutions or large investors (typically market makers or other broker-dealers) may purchase or redeem. The Fund issues and redeems Creation Units in exchange for a portfolio of securities and/or U.S. cash.
Tax Information
The Fund intends to make distributions that may be taxed as ordinary income, qualified dividend income, or capital gains.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank) (an "Intermediary"), WisdomTree Asset Management or its affiliates may pay Intermediaries for certain activities related to the Fund, including participation in activities that are designed to make Intermediaries more knowledgeable about exchange-traded products, including the Fund, or for other activities, such as marketing, educational training or other initiatives related to the sale or promotion of Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the Intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Any such arrangements do not result in increased Fund expenses. Ask your salesperson or visit the Intermediary's website for more information.
