WisdomTree Trust's board of directors voted to close ten ETFs Thursday. The funds headed for liquidation account for 3 percent of WisdomTree's $6 billion in AUM. The shuttering will leave Wisdom Tree's fund roster 42 ETFs deep.

March 24 will be the last day of trading, according to the SEC filing. The next day the funds will close to all new investors and begin liquidating portfolio assets to increase cash holdings.

WisdomTree is closing the funds to free up capacity for its growth initiative, spokesperson Stuart Bell told The MFWire. The company has no plans to make further closures.

Earlier this month, WisdomTree launched its newest ETF, the WisdomTree International Hedged Equity Fund. The company is also going to be adding its currency hedging feature to the WisdomTree Japan Total Dividend Fund on April 1, noted Bell.
