September 21, 2020

DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDER,

I hope you and your family are safe and healthy during this unprecedented time. As a shareholder in the WisdomTree Continuous Commodity Index Fund ("GCC" or your "Fund"), proxy materials were recently sent by mail or e-delivery in connection with the Fund's Special Meeting to be held on October 15, 2020.

The Fund's Managing Owner is asking all shareholders to consider and approve a reorganization of your Fund into and with the WisdomTree Enhanced Commodity Strategy Fund ("New Fund").

The Managing Owner recommends that you vote "FOR" the Reorganization

After careful consideration, the Managing Owner believes a reorganization into and with the New Fund is in the best interest of GCC and its shareholders. Below are a few reasons why the Managing Owner strongly supports the proposal:

The fees and expenses of the New Fund will be approximately 25% less than GCC, your current Fund.

The New Fund will not be taxed as a partnership like GCC, which means that shareholders may benefit from the simplified tax reporting associated with an investment in the New Fund as opposed to receiving a K-1 for future years.

The New Fund will allow you to have the opportunity to maintain investment exposure to commodities, but in a way that seeks to generate greater yield.

The New Fund will be managed by WisdomTree Asset Management, which manages all of WisdomTree's other ETFs, and the sub-adviser will be Mellon Investments Corporation, with assets under management totaling approximately $534 billion, each of which are leading innovators in the investment industry.

WisdomTree is excited about the various features of the New Fund and its investment strategy and the potential benefits for GCC's shareholders of the reorganization of GCC into and with the New Fund.

It is important that you take advantage of your right to vote. Please take the time to sign, date and mail the enclosed proxy card(s) in the postage paid return envelope or by following the phone or internet voting instructions in the box on the reverse side of this page.

Lastly, we have retained Di Costa Partners ("DCP") to assist us with the proxy solicitation process. You may receive a call from a DCP representative who can take your vote over the phone and answer any questions you may have related to the reorganization. You can also call DCP at (833) 892-6628 if you have questions regarding the proxy.

THANK YOU,

JEREMY SCHWARTZ

PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
