Agentic AI Drives Cybersecurity Fund's Growth Amid Rate Uncertainty

WisdomTree Cybersecurity Fund (WCBR) is down 5% YTD despite accelerating agentic AI security demand, due to a structural mismatch between its index methodology and elevated VIX levels compressing forward P/E multiples of high-growth holdings like CrowdStrike and Palo Alto Networks. WCBR's top holding, Fastly, surged 182% YTD, partially recovering the fund's losses.
