WisdomTree has changed the names for seven of its existing exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The amendments will mostly reflect change in strategies and indexes of the funds.

As a part of the change, the WisdomTree Pacific ex-Japan Total Dividend Fund became the WisdomTree Asia-Pacific ex-Japan Fund, the WisdomTree Pacific ex-Japan Equity Income Fund was renamed to the WisdomTree Australia Dividend Fund, while the WisdomTree International Utilities Sector Fund is now the WisdomTree Global ex-US Utility Fund. The changes in the funds became effective from June 17, 2011.
