Our read on EES
CEES buys only U.S. small caps that actually earn money, then weights them by the size of those profits instead of market value. A 2007-vintage answer to the unprofitable tail that cap-weighted small-cap funds carry.
The fund seeks to track the investment results of earnings-generating small-cap companies in the U.S. equity market.
Why people hold it
- The index screens for earnings-generating companies and weights by profits, so a stock's spot is tied to what it earns, not to what the market is willing to pay for it.wisdomtree.com
- Roughly 900 stocks in the basket. That is a wide net for a screened fund, so no single small cap carries the portfolio.
- Running since 2007, it has tracked its earnings-weighted index through the financial crisis and every small-cap cycle since. Long history, one consistent rulebook.
- Follows its index closely, and pays out on a quarterly schedule.
Worth knowing
- At 0.38% a year, it costs more than the small-cap category's typical fund, and well more than plain cap-weighted options like VB (0.03%) and SCHA (0.03%).
- Thinly traded next to the category's giants, so bid-ask spreads can run wider, especially in fast markets.
- The profit screen leaves out unprofitable small caps by design, so returns will diverge from a standard small-cap index in both directions.

- −27.4%
How it’s calculated: maximum drawdown
The largest percentage decline from an earlier peak, using total returns with reinvested distributions.
Uses up to five years through the last close, with at least 12 months required.
