GDEBWisdomTree Efficient Gold Plus Equity Strategy Fund

GDTCWisdomTree Efficient TIPS Plus Gold Fund

In short

GDE Gold and US large caps, stacked on the same dollar. GDE holds roughly 500 US large-cap stocks and layers gold futures on top, so the metal rides along instead of crowding equities out of the portfolio.

GDT No data

Stated mandate

GDE The fund seeks total return by investing directly or through a wholly owned subsidiary in U.S.-listed gold futures contracts and U.S. large-cap equity securities.

GDT No data

Why people hold it

  • GDE The capital-efficiency trick: gold futures sit on top of a US large-cap stock sleeve, so making room for the metal doesn't mean selling down equities.
  • 0.20% a year, a fraction of the typical multi-asset allocation fund's fee, and priced level with WisdomTree's Treasury-stacking sibling NTSX.
  • Trades easily for a strategy this unusual, and it has been running live since 2022 rather than arriving as a fresh backtest.
  • Rare shape in the allocation aisle: most peers blend stocks and bonds, this one blends stocks and gold, and it grades near the top of that group.

GDT No data

Worth knowing

  • GDE Stacking works both ways. Two exposures riding one dollar means declines can bite harder than a plain US large-cap fund, and it scores as the riskier end of its cohort.
  • Gold comes through futures held in a wholly owned subsidiary, which brings roll and collateral mechanics you don't get with a plain bullion holding.
  • Distributions arrive annually or semiannually, so this is a total-return build rather than an income stream.
