WisdomTree, Inc. (NYSE:WT) reported net inflows of $1.654 billion during October 2026, bringing total net inflows for the first ten months of the year to approximately $15.2 billion, according to the asset manager’s latest monthly operating update.
Total assets under management (AUM) stood at $166.85 billion as of October 31, compared with $168.93 billion at the beginning of the month.
The decline in assets under management occurred despite positive net inflows, as market movements reduced asset values by approximately $3.733 billion during October.
The reported figures exclude assets managed by Ceres Partners, LLC, which are included separately in WisdomTree’s broader global AUM disclosure.
Fixed Income Products Lead October Net Inflows
Fixed income products accounted for the largest share of WisdomTree’s net inflows during October, attracting approximately $1.067 billion.
International developed market equity products recorded net inflows of $355 million, while leveraged and inverse products attracted an additional $180 million.
These inflows were partially offset by withdrawals from other investment categories.
Emerging market equity products experienced net outflows of $60 million during the month, while commodity and currency products recorded net outflows of $153 million.
The distribution of flows indicates that fixed income was the principal contributor to the company’s positive net subscriptions in October.
International developed market equity products and leveraged and inverse strategies also contributed to inflows, while emerging market equities and commodity-related products recorded withdrawals.
Assets Under Management Decline Despite Positive Fund Flows
WisdomTree ended October with $166.85 billion in assets under management, compared with $168.93 billion at the start of the month.
The decrease of approximately $2.08 billion reflected the effect of market movements, which more than offset the $1.654 billion in net inflows.
The company reported a negative market impact of approximately $3.733 billion during the period.
Changes in assets under management can reflect both investor subscriptions and redemptions, as well as movements in the market value of the underlying investments.
Consequently, positive net inflows do not necessarily result in an increase in total assets under management when investment valuations decline.
WisdomTree’s blended average fee rate for October was 35 basis points, equivalent to 0.35%.
The fee rate represents an important measure of the revenue generated relative to the assets managed across the company’s investment products.
UCITS ETF Business Attracts $450 Million in October
WisdomTree’s UCITS exchange-traded fund business recorded approximately $450 million in net inflows during October.
The result brought year-to-date net inflows for the UCITS business to approximately $6 billion.
UCITS funds operate under a European regulatory framework governing collective investment products and are distributed across eligible markets.
The inflows contributed to WisdomTree’s overall asset-gathering activity during the first ten months of 2026.
The company also expanded its UCITS product range during October with the introduction of two actively managed defined return ETFs.
These products attracted a combined $64 million in net inflows during their first month of trading.
The funds were developed using investment product capabilities provided by Atlantic House.
New Defined Return ETFs Add to Product Range
WisdomTree’s two newly launched defined return UCITS ETFs form part of its actively managed investment product offering.
The products were introduced in October and generated $64 million in combined net inflows during their initial month.
The launches involved the use of Atlantic House’s product capabilities, extending WisdomTree’s range of investment strategies available through its UCITS platform.
Defined return strategies generally seek to provide investment outcomes based on specified parameters, although actual returns depend on the structure and terms of individual products.
The company’s announcement did not provide additional details about the individual funds’ investment objectives or their respective contributions to the reported inflows.
The launches contributed to the approximately $450 million in net subscriptions recorded by WisdomTree’s UCITS ETF business during October.
Average Assets Under Management Reach $169.72 Billion in October
WisdomTree reported average assets under management of $169.724 billion for October.
For the year to date, average total AUM stood at $161.916 billion.
Average assets under management are relevant to asset managers because management fees are generally calculated using asset balances over specified periods rather than solely on month-end values.
The company also reported $4.101 billion in acquired assets under management during the year to date.
These acquired assets were disclosed separately from the company’s net inflow figures.
The October blended average fee rate of 35 basis points provides an additional measure of the company’s asset-based revenue profile.
Global Assets Including Ceres Partners Total Approximately $173.9 Billion
WisdomTree reported approximately $173.9 billion in total global assets under management when including assets managed by Ceres Partners, LLC, as of the latest reportable period.
This broader figure differs from the $166.85 billion reported at October 31, which excludes Ceres Partners.
The distinction reflects the scope of assets included in the company’s different operating disclosures.
WisdomTree’s October update showed continued net inflows across its investment products, led by fixed income and international developed market equities.
However, negative market movements reduced total assets under management during the month despite the additional investor capital.
The company’s year-to-date net inflows of approximately $15.2 billion, together with continued activity in its UCITS ETF business, formed part of its reported asset management performance through October 2026.
