Related Party Transactions [Abstract] |
Related Party Transactions | 17. Related Party Transactions Investment Advisory Agreements The Company’s revenues are derived primarily from investment advisory agreements with related parties. Under these agreements, the Company has licensed to related parties the use of certain of its own indexes for the U.S. WisdomTree ETFs, WisdomTree Digital Funds and WisdomTree UCITS ETFs. The relevant board of trustees or board of directors (including certain officers of the Company) of each of the related parties is primarily responsible for overseeing the management and affairs of the entities for the benefit of their respective stakeholders and have contracted with the Company to provide for general management and administration services. The Company is also responsible for certain expenses of the related parties, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration and accounting, legal, audit, and other non-distribution services, excluding extraordinary expenses, taxes and certain other expenses, which are included in fund management and administration in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In exchange, the Company receives fees based on a percentage of the ETPs’ and the Digital Funds’ average daily net assets. A majority of the independent members of the respective board of trustees or board of directors are required to initially and annually (after the first two years) approve the advisory agreements of the U.S. WisdomTree ETFs and the Digital Funds and these agreements may be terminated by such board of trustees or board of directors upon notice. The following table summarizes accounts receivable from related parties which are included as a component of accounts receivable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets:
|  | December 31,
2023 |  | 2022
Receivable from WTT |  | $ | 21,226 |  | $ | 16,399
Receivable from ManJer Issuers |  |  | 4,411 |  |  | 4,485
Receivable from WMAI and WTICAV |  |  | 2,874 |  |  | 3,255
Total |  | $ | 28,511 |  | $ | 24,139
The allowance for credit losses on accounts receivable from related parties is insignificant when applying historical loss rates, adjusted for current conditions and supportable forecasts, to the amounts outstanding in the table above. Amounts outstanding are all invoiced in arrears, are less than 30 days aged and are collected shortly after the applicable reporting period. The following table summarizes revenues from advisory services provided to related parties:
|  | Years Ended December 31,
2023 |  | 2022 |  | 2021
Advisory services provided to WTT |  | $ | 218,834 |  | $ | 183,409 |  | $ | 178,511
Advisory services provided to ManJer Issuers |  |  | 98,800 |  |  | 96,606 |  |  | 108,862
Advisory services provided to WMAI and WTICAV |  |  | 15,593 |  |  | 13,617 |  |  | 10,679
Total |  | $ | 333,227 |  | $ | 293,632 |  | $ | 298,052
Pursuant to a license agreement between WisdomTree, Inc. (“WTI”) and WML to provide indices for a number of the sub-funds of WTICAV, WTI earned revenue amounting to €1,044 ($1,128), €642 ($671) and €612 ($710) for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which has been eliminated in consolidation. No other revenue was earned by WTI from providing indices for use in the European Union during 2023, 2022 or 2021. Investments in WisdomTree Products The Company also has investments in certain WisdomTree products of approximately $52,566 and $25,283 at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. This includes $18,308 and $1,765, respectively, of investments in certain consolidated affiliated Digital Funds advised by WT Digital Management, referred to herein as “other assets–seed capital.” Net unrealized and realized gains and losses related to trading WisdomTree products during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 were $1,294, ($107) and ($451), respectively, which are recorded in other losses, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Deferred Consideration—Gold Payments – Termination On May 10, 2023, the Company terminated its contractual gold payments obligation to ETFS Capital, which included the payment of $45,634 to an entity controlled by GT, a stockholder of the Company.
