• WisdomTree TIPS Digital Fund (TIPSX)
• WisdomTree 500 Digital Fund (SPXUX)
• Wisdomtree Technology and Innovation 100 Digital Fund (TECHX)
• WisdomTree Short Term Income Digital Fund (WTSIX)
• WisdomTree S&P 500 Twitter Sentiment Digital Fund (TWTRX)

In line with WTSYX, the first six funds on the list have no management fees, the company said, and Wisdomtree affiliates expect other fees, such as fees to facilitate transactions. No other information was available about the payout and expense ratios for the nine new products, a company representative told ThinkAdvisor in an email.
