WisdomTree Europe Hedged Equity Fund Price & Performance (HEDJ)

European stocks, especially Germany's DAX Index, are outperforming the S&P 500 in 2025. Valuation gaps and strong earnings have drawn investors to Europe, with the DAX gaining significantly. Meanwhile, U.S. stocks face overvaluation concerns, prompting a shift in global investment strategies.12

Germany’s DAX Index has surged in 2025, driven by pro-growth reforms and rising demand for exports. Infrastructure spending and tax reforms are among the policy shifts boosting investor confidence. These changes have positioned Germany as a standout performer in global equity markets.13

Hedged European ETFs, such as WisdomTree's HEDJ, are outperforming unhedged counterparts this year. These funds benefit from Europe’s economic momentum and dividend yields, which surpass U.S. averages. The strategy highlights the growing appeal of European equities amid global market shifts.45
