WisdomTree Announces Private Credit and Alternative Income Fund (HYIN)

July 18, 2025 at 08:00 AM EDT

HYIN continues to provide investors transparent, liquid access to growing private credit market

WisdomTree, Inc. (NYSE: WT), a global financial innovator, today announced the name change of the WisdomTree Alternative Income Fund to the WisdomTree Private Credit and Alternative Income Fund (HYIN or “the Fund”). The Fund remains listed on the CBOE and has a total expense ratio of 4.32%. HYIN seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Gapstow Private Credit and Alternative Income Index (GLACI)¹.

Since its launch in 2021, the Fund has provided investors with diversified exposure to alternative credit sectors, including business development companies, real estate investment trusts, and closed-end funds. The updated Fund name reflects WisdomTree’s sharpened focus on private credit—a rapidly expanding asset class valued for its attractive income potential and portfolio diversification benefits.

HYIN delivers diversified access to private credit through a transparent, liquid ETF structure, making this traditionally hard-to-access market available to individual investors. By combining daily liquidity and transparency with attractive income potential, HYIN offers a compelling solution for investors seeking alternative sources of yield, including private credit.

“Although we’re changing the name of our fund, our belief that individual investors deserve access to the traditionally institutional private credit market remains the same,” said Jeremy Schwartz, Global Chief Investment Officer at WisdomTree. “By combining the high-income potential of private credit with the transparency and daily liquidity of an ETF, HYIN offers a compelling solution for those seeking alternative sources of yield in today’s evolving market – and we’re glad to offer this access to individual investors via our ETF for four years and counting.”

Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Fund before investing. To obtain a prospectus containing this and other important information, call 866.909.9473 or visit wisdomtree.com. Read the prospectus carefully before you invest.

There are risks associated with investing, including possible loss of principal. The Fund is considered to be non-diversified, which means that it may invest more of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if it were a diversified fund. Higher yielding securities, sometimes referred to as junk bonds, may present additional risk because these securities may be less liquid and present more credit risk than investment grade bonds.

The Fund invests in alternative credit sectors through investments in underlying closed-end investment companies (“CEFs”), including those that have elected to be regulated as business development companies (“BDCs”), and real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). The value of a CEF can decrease due to movements in the overall financial markets. BDCs generally invest in less mature private companies, which involve greater risk than well-established, publicly traded companies, and BDCs are subject to high failure rates among the companies in which they invest. By investing in REITs, the Fund is exposed to the risks of owning real estate, such as decreases in real estate values, overbuilding, increased competition and other risks related to local or general economic conditions. The Fund invests in the securities included in, or representative of, its Index regardless of their investment merit and the Fund does not attempt to outperform its Index or take defensive positions in declining markets. Please read the Fund’s prospectus for specific details regarding the Fund’s risk profile.

Statements concerning financial market trends are based on current market conditions, which will fluctuate.
