Bullish Statements during Earnings call

Statement
And I would say the highlight of the year and what I see the biggest franchise ahead has been our quality dividend growth franchise, which is taken in $300 billion globally this year, a very exciting cross section of funds covering many different regions, but working here in the U.S
And our fixed income model portfolios have delivered very consistent alpha and relative performance versus their benchmarks
So, in addition to our bullish outlook on the organic growth prospects of Prime, we are having many conversations around B2B and B2B2C applications for both our platform and product suite that could unlock additional tokenization revenue streams in the future
That said, we are seeing encouraging early signs on both our tactical spend and our messaging
Our flows are strong and stable as it has been now been 12 consecutive quarters of flowing positive
We have best-in-class organic growth, a meaningful margin expansion story, and meaningful leverage to the secular shift towards tokenization
The recent data have all come in very, very strong and our senior economist has raised an extended forecast for interest rates over, not just the coming quarters but years
Our revenues are growing and our margins are expanding
Our margins have benefited by the settlement of our contractual gold payment obligation last quarter which has been a meaningful contributor to this expansion, but not the only contributor
When excluding the impact of the gold royalty buyout, our margins have expanded 330 basis points versus the third quarter of last year, demonstrating the scalability of our business model
This margin expansion is translating into earnings per share growth
It has truly been a team effort and I'm very proud of WisdomTree's workforce and our unique culture
So we're very happy with the momentum we're seeing in models
And another thing I can say that actually wasn't in the prepared remarks, that will speak to the momentum is that this last quarter, Q3 was the best quarter on record for us so far in terms of model flows
Our strategy continues to be clear and straight forward, which is to deliver industry leading organic growth to expand our operating margins, and to lead the industry's evolution in tokenized assets and blockchain enabled finance
It is from this very strong foundation
We think it's actually a very good experience within WisdomTree Prime
Year-to-date, we've now generated approximately $11 billion of net inflows, representing a 17% annualized organic growth rate, which continues to be best-in-class among all publicly traded U.S
We believe we are among the very best-positioned asset managers for this dynamic
We think it is the best execution for the asset class in the traditional channels in the U.S
USFR, our floating rate treasury TF with $18 billion of assets, has proven its utility remains one of the best and highest-yielding treasuries in the market because of the inverted yield curve
That has been the best place to be for the last 18 months, but we have a very robust fixed income lineup
So, it is actually an advantage for us and we are looking forward to continuing to press it going forward
But I think the ability to innovate within this environment has been a major advantage for WisdomTree as a company, at this current moment in time
This is not only a validation of our tokenization strategy, but also underscores WisdomTree's early mover position
And the simplicity of that story, buying high-quality stocks, high profitability stocks resonates each of these markets, and we think it's well-positioned for further flows, ahead
As Bryan and Jarrett discussed earlier, we have strong momentum in our business today and high confidence that the strength will persist for the coming quarters and years
And we have a very robust set of opportunities in our fixed income lineup to position them, and we are going to keep working on more
I'm very proud of WisdomTree's ability to execute on our goals to drive positive results
We continue to expand our operating margins, and we continue to lead the industry's evolution in tokenized assets and blockchain-enabled finance
       

Bearish Statements during earnings call

Statement
You would have thought, if rates could be really painful, you would have seen more of a slowdown even this year
It's a core holding, and so, we couldn't be more happy with the product
So, we don't think these rates are going back down quickly anytime soon
And I think some of the big issues of weight in the U.S
A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the risks set forth in this presentation and in the Risk Factors section of WisdomTree's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022
