Market-leading ETF manager WisdomTree is now using our proprietary core earnings data to rebalance and weight constituents in WisdomTree’s Domestic Core Indexes, which have a combined $2.5 billion in assets.
Our CEO David Trainer commented, “We are thrilled WisdomTree has collaborated with us to further democratize access to differentiated investment products based on superior data. No other firms can match the diligence of our earnings distortion research because no other firms have the technology to handle the complexity of footnotes. New Constructs adjusts earnings so investors can see true profits free of creative accounting and reporting.”
WisdomTree’s Global Head of Research Jeremy Schwartz commented, “WisdomTree was a pioneer in fundamentally weighted indexing and launched an earnings weighted ETF family in 2007. We believe New Constructs earnings data will be value-added to these earnings weighted strategies by providing a cleaner measure of corporate profits.”
New Constructs technology brings critical and material footnotes research to the market for the first time ever, enabling analysts to measure and predict earnings more accurately and generate more alpha. The Earnings Distortion Scorecard captures all the proprietary adjustments featured in the recent Harvard Business School and MIT Sloan paper and provides daily updates to registered users of the system.
