NTSD — WisdomTree Efficient U.S. Plus International Equity Fund
NTSD is a capital-efficient 90/60-style sleeve: U.S. large-cap equities plus developed international equity exposure via futures and related instruments.

Strategy
WisdomTree’s “efficient” line uses futures and swaps to add developed international beta on top of a U.S. equity sleeve without doubling cash equity. The notional targets shift as roll conditions and markets change.
Roll yield on international equity index futures can diverge from owning local shares for years at a time. Comparing realized performance against a 50/50 VTI/VEA split shows where implementation adds or subtracts.
Manager and Issuer Pedigree
WisdomTree built its brand on fundamentally weighted and capital-efficient ETFs well before many copycat implementations. The same derivatives-and-collateral framework underpins its Efficient Core and related stacked sleeves.
WisdomTree has reported roughly $143B+ in global ETP and tokenized AUM (late-2025 disclosures), giving institutional futures and collateral infrastructure while still operating as a specialist versus the largest index houses.
Outperformance
Outperforms when EAFE-style markets rerate faster than U.S. large caps while futures implementation stays cheap, the classic “international catches up” window with orderly currency markets.
Underperforms when the dollar rips and international disappoints, and futures sit in contango simultaneously; this is still equity risk stacked across regions, not a hedge fund, favorable environments are broad non-U.S. leadership, not every U.S. drawdown.
