About WisdomTree Equity Premium Income Fund

The Advisor intends to implement its principal investment strategies primarily through the use of put options on the S&P 500® Index in place of put options of the SPDR S&P 500® ETF. The index tracks the value of a cash-secured (i.e., collateralized) put option sales strategy, which consists of (1) selling (or “writing”) put options on the SPDR S&P 500® ETF Trust (“SPY”) (the “SPY Puts”) and (2) a cash collateral account that accrues interest at a theoretical three-month Treasury bill rate on a daily basis. The fund is non-diversified.
