A long straddle on HEDJ profits from large moves in either direction and is a classic play into binary events like earnings, product announcements, or macro releases. A short straddle profits when WisdomTree Europe Hedged Equity Fund stays range-bound and implied volatility contracts. The breakeven points are simple: strike plus total premium on the upside, strike minus total premium on the downside. Comparing the HEDJ straddle price to historical realized moves helps you judge whether the market is overpaying or underpaying for volatility.
The fund invests at least 95% of its total assets (exclusive of collateral held from securities lending) in component securities of the index and investments that have economic characteristics that are substantially identical to the economic characteristics of such component securities. The index provides exposure to European equity securities, particularly shares of European exporters, while at the same time neutralizing exposure to fluctuations between the value of the U.S. dollar and the euro. The fund is non-diversified.
Earnings, product cycles, macro prints — any time volatility itself is the trade, the HEDJ straddle is the cleanest expression of that view.

Whether you're long a HEDJ straddle into a catalyst or short a HEDJ straddle to harvest decay, the options straddle setups that matter are all in one place.
