Advisors Asset Management, Inc. (AAM), a leading investment solutions
provider, today announced a collaboration with WisdomTree Investments,
Inc. (WSDT.PK) to serve as the external marketing agent for the
WisdomTree ETFs in the Independent Broker-Dealer channel.
“We believe AAMs national presence and strong
background will provide WisdomTree valuable additional reach into an
important category of investment professionals.”
WisdomTree, a leading ETF sponsor and index developer, utilizes a
unique, rules-based methodology to weight companies chosen for their
ETFs by a measure of fundamental value, instead of just stock price
alone. WisdomTree ETFs track indexes designed to deliver the return of
stock markets weighted by income streams either the cash dividends
companies pay or the earnings they have produced. They believe this
approach to investing corrects a flaw in capitalization weighting that
plagues most of todays ETFs and offers investors the potential for
higher returns, with less risk.
Were very pleased to partner with WisdomTree, a highly respected
leader in the ETF investment space, said Andrew S. Williams, President
of AAM. WisdomTree continues to be a major innovative force in the ETF
industry and we believe they will offer immense value to our platform
and our clients.
The addition of WisdomTree to AAMs circle of strategic partners is the
latest alliance forged with large, reputable asset managers enabling AAM
to present independent advisors with a broader array of solutions that
will best align with their clients investment objectives.
We are pleased to team up with AAM to enhance our efforts in the
Independent Broker-Dealer channel, said Bruce Lavine, WisdomTrees
President & COO. We believe AAMs national presence and strong
background will provide WisdomTree valuable additional reach into an
important category of investment professionals.
