A cut between quarters

The fund tracks the WisdomTree Classiq Quantum Computing Index, built with the quantum-software company Classiq. The list refreshes every quarter.

On September 8 it changed between those refreshes. The index cut Quantum Computing Inc. by 3 percentage points, to 1.99%.

Christopher Gannatti, writing for WisdomTree, said the cut was to isolate the risk of a lawsuit against that one company, not to judge its technology. The holding got smaller, so the case would count for less in the fund.

He wrote that the company faces a federal lawsuit in New Jersey, brought for a group of shareholders, over claims that it misstated disclosures made between 2020 and early 2025. A judge had not ruled when the index changed.

A lawsuit, not a judgment on the technology, was enough to shrink that holding between quarters.
