WisdomTree Asset Allocation Views
Equities
- We have a preference for stocks relative to bonds.
- We favor U.S. equities with tilts toward dividend payers and companies that rank highly on profitability metrics.
- Value stocks are priced at significant discounts compared to Growth and we believe a narrowing of the earnings growth gap may be supportive of a market rotation beyond mega-cap technology names.
- Outside of the U.S., we prefer targeted overweights to Japan in developed markets and India in emerging markets.

All evaluations are on a relative and not absolute basis. Red = a negative relative evaluation; gray = a neutral relative evaluation; green = a positive relative evaluation. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Fixed Income
- We are neutral from a duration standpoint.
- We remain allocated to short-duration bonds, including Treasury floating rate notes, and continue to suggest that investors use barbell strategies within bond portfolios.
- The resiliency in the economic landscape provides a supportive environment for U.S. credit, but spreads have largely priced this in.
- We see better valuation prospects in securitized assets, including agency MBS.

Alternatives
- We believe trend-following and other liquid alternative strategies can play an important role in multi-asset class portfolios.
- We continue to favor strategies that seek to generate uncorrelated returns in periods of heightened volatility.

There are risks associated with investing, including the possible loss of principal.
Foreign investing involves currency, political and economic risk. Investments in emerging markets, real estate, currency, fixed income and alternative investments include additional risks. Fixed income investments are subject to interest rate risk; their value will normally decline as interest rates rise. In addition, when interest rates fall income may decline. Fixed income investments are also subject to credit risk, the risk that the issuer of a bond will fail to pay interest and principal in a timely manner, or that negative perceptions of the issuers ability to make such payments will cause the price of that bond to decline. Securities with floating rates can be less sensitive to interest rate changes than securities with fixed interest rates but may decline in value. Investing in mortgage- and asset-backed securities involves interest rate, credit, valuation, extension and liquidity risks and the risk that payments on the underlying assets are delayed, prepaid, subordinated, or defaulted on.
