| Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and in the opinion of management reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain accounts in the prior years’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s consolidated financial statements presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported operating results. Foreign Currency Translation Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar are translated based on the end of period exchange rates from local currency to U.S. dollars. Results of operations are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the period.
Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet dates and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods presented. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Revenue Recognition The Company earns investment advisory fees as well as licensing fees from third parties. Advisory fees are based on a percentage of the ETPs average daily net assets and recognized over the period the related service is provided. Licensing fees are based on a percentage of the average monthly net assets and recognized over the period the related service is provided. Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation is provided for using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of their respective leases or service lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter. Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Marketing and Advertising Advertising costs, including media advertising and production costs are expensed when incurred. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less at the time of purchase to be classified as cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are held primarily with one large financial institution. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable are customer and other obligations due under normal trade terms. An allowance for doubtful accounts is not provided since, in the opinion of management, all accounts receivable recorded are deemed collectible. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets On a periodic basis, the Company performs a review for the impairment of long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the assets are less than their carrying amounts or when other events occur which may indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the reduction in earnings per share assuming options or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Investments The Company accounts for all of its investments as held-to-maturity, which are recorded at amortized cost. For held-to-maturity investments, the Company has the intent and ability to hold investments to maturity and it is not more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity. On a periodic basis, the Company reviews its portfolio of investments for impairment. If a decline in fair value is deemed to be other-than-temporary, the security is written down to its fair value through earnings.
Goodwill Goodwill is the excess of the fair value of the purchase price over the fair values of the identifiable net assets at the acquisition date. The Company tests its goodwill for impairment at least annually. An impairment loss is triggered if the estimated fair value of the operating reporting unit is less than the estimated net book value. Such loss is calculated as the difference between the estimated fair value of goodwill and its carrying value. Stock-Based Awards Accounting for stock-based compensation requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all equity awards based on estimated fair values. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation for its employees based on the cost of employee services received in exchange for a stock-based award. Stock-based compensation is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the award and are amortized over the relevant service period. Stock-based awards granted to non-employees for goods or services are valued at the fair value of the equity instruments issued or the fair value of consideration received, whichever is a more reliable measure of the fair value of the transaction, and recognized when performance obligations are complete. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method, which requires the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial and tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are adjusted by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In order to recognize and measure any unrecognized tax benefits, management evaluates and determines whether any of its tax positions are more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Once it is determined that a position meets this recognition threshold, the position is measured to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The Company records interest expense and penalties related to tax expenses as income tax expense. Related Party Transactions The Company’s primary revenues and the majority of its expenses are associated with providing investment advisory services to WTT and WisdomTree ETFs. The Trustees of WTT are primarily responsible for overseeing the management and affairs of the WisdomTree ETFs and WTT for the benefit of the WisdomTree ETF shareholders and WTT has contracted with the Company to provide for general management and administration of WTT and the WisdomTree ETFs. Certain officers of the Company also provide general management oversight of WTT; however, these officers have no material decision making responsibilities and primarily implement the decisions of the Trustees of WTT. The Company has granted WTT an exclusive license to certain of its indexes for operation of the WisdomTree ETFs and is also responsible for certain expenses of WTT, 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. In exchange, the Company receives fees based on a percentage of the ETF average daily net assets. The advisory agreements may be terminated by WTT upon notice. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the balance of accounts receivable from WTT was approximately $15,471 and $14,791, respectively, which are included as a component of accounts receivable on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Revenue from advisory services provided to WTT for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $46,660 and $39,437, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $133,022 and $105,691, respectively. Revenue from advisory fee services provided to BI for three months ended September 30, 2014 was approximately $282 and for the period from April 15, 2014 to September 30, 2014 was approximately $467.
Third Party Sharing Arrangements Third party sharing arrangements expense consists of payments for marketing agreements with third parties. Segment, Geographic and Customer Information The Company operates as a single business segment as an ETP sponsor and asset manager providing investment advisory services. As of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, substantially all of the Company’s revenues, pretax income and assets are derived or located in the U.S. The Company maintains operations in Europe through its acquisition of Boost, now known as WisdomTree Europe (Note 10). Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09 (ASU 2014-09) Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which is a new comprehensive revenue recognition standard on the financial reporting requirements for revenue from contracts entered into with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements. Business Combinations The Company includes the results of operations of the businesses that it acquires from the respective dates of acquisition. The fair values of the purchase price of the acquisitions are allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase price over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Subsequent Events The Company has evaluated subsequent events after the date of the consolidated financial statements to consider whether or not the impact of such events needed to be reflected or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. Such evaluation was performed through the issuance date of the consolidated financial statements. |

The following table summarizes unrealized gains, losses, and fair value of held-to-maturity investments:
The following table sets forth the maturity profile of held-to-maturity investments; however, these investments may be called prior to their stated maturity date:
Fair Value Measurement Under the accounting for fair value measurements and disclosures, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability, or the exit price, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The accounting guidance establishes a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These three types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy: Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. Level 3—Instruments whose significant value drivers are unobservable. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. The Company’s held-to-maturity securities are categorized as Level 1. The Company does not intend to sell its held-to-maturity investments before the recovery of their amortized cost bases which may be at maturity. Some of our financial instruments are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis but are recorded at amounts that approximate fair value due to their liquid or short-term nature. Such financial assets and financial liabilities are categorized as Level 3. |

Net operating losses – U.S. The Company generated net operating losses in the U.S. (“NOLs”) during periods prior to September 30, 2014. The following table summarizes the activity for NOLs for the nine months ended September 30, 2014:
During the first quarter of 2014, management determined that although realization is not assured, it believed that it is more likely than not that its gross deferred tax asset would be realized. Therefore, it released the valuation allowance previously recorded resulting in an income tax benefit of $13,725 on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and a corresponding deferred tax asset on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2014. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $98,210 and $111,635 of the NOLs were generated from stock-based compensation amounts recognized for tax purposes at the time options are exercised (at the intrinsic value) or restricted stock is vested (at fair value of the share price) in excess of amounts previously expensed at the date of grant for U.S. GAAP purposes. These amounts cannot be recognized as a deferred tax asset under U.S. GAAP. In addition, $3,487 of the NOLs are deemed worthless. Therefore, at September 30, 2014, the Company has no recognized deferred tax assets related to these NOLs. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recognized tax expense of $9,634 and $5,440. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company utilized $5,472 of its deferred tax asset and the Company recorded a credit to additional paid-in capital of $13,649 for the amount of NOLs from stock-based compensation utilized to reduce taxes payable during the period.
The Company completed a state tax study which resulted in a reduction of its current baseline operating tax rate in the U.S. from 45% to approximately 38%. The Company reduced the carrying value of its deferred tax asset which had previously been recorded using the higher rate. A summary of the components of the gross and tax affected deferred tax asset as of September 30, 2014 is as follows:
Net operating losses – Non-U.S. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries generated $2,318 of NOLs. At September 30, 2014, a deferred tax asset related to these NOLs has been fully offset by a valuation allowance of $487. |

| Acquisition and Goodwill |
On April 15, 2014, the Company completed its acquisition of Boost, a U.K. and Jersey based ETP sponsor, now known as WisdomTree Europe, as part of the Company’s strategy to expand internationally. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company owns 75% of WisdomTree Europe and the former Boost shareholders own 25%. The Company will acquire the remaining 25% ownership interest at the end of four years using a predefined formula based on European assets under management at the end of the four year period and will be tied to the Company’s enterprise value over global AUM at the time of payout, and affected by profitability of the European business. No consideration was transferred on the acquisition date. The ultimate payout will be made in cash over two years. Two shareholders of Boost, who owned 88% of Boost prior to the acquisition, became co-CEOs of WisdomTree Europe and are guaranteed a minimum payment of $1,757 for their interest if they terminate their employment without good reason or they are terminated for cause. The Company determined that this minimum payment represents consideration transferred and was recognized and measured at acquisition-date fair value to determine the purchase price. Any future payments made to the co-CEOs in excess of the minimum payments is accounted for separately from the business combination as compensation expense for post-acquisition services. Because the Company is required to redeem the shares from the former Boost shareholders at the end of four years under a predefined formula, under U.S. GAAP, the Company does not reflect the 25% interest held by the former Boost shareholders in WisdomTree Europe as non-controlling interest (“NCI”). The obligation to mandatorily redeem the NCI for cash was measured at fair value on the acquisition date and is re-measured at the amount of cash that would be paid under the conditions specified in the contract as if settlement occurred at the reporting date. Any change in the carrying amount of the liability will be recognized as an expense. The Company recorded goodwill of $1,676 in connection with this acquisition. Goodwill represents the excess value of the purchase price over the $81 fair value of the net assets acquired, consisting primarily of accounts receivable, accounts payable and fixed assets. While the Company paid no consideration up front to the former Boost shareholders, under the terms of the acquisition agreement, $1,757 was deemed to represent the purchase price. Goodwill is not expected to be tax deductible. The following table summarizes the goodwill activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2014:
Transaction costs of $1,607 were incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 in connection with this acquisition. Such expenses are recorded in professional and consulting fees, other and sales and business development in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. |

|
||||||||||||||||
| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||
| Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and in the opinion of management reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain accounts in the prior years’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s consolidated financial statements presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported operating results. |
|||||||||||||||
| Foreign Currency Translation | Foreign Currency Translation Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar are translated based on the end of period exchange rates from local currency to U.S. dollars. Results of operations are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the period. |
|||||||||||||||
| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet dates and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods presented. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. |
|||||||||||||||
| Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company earns investment advisory fees as well as licensing fees from third parties. Advisory fees are based on a percentage of the ETPs average daily net assets and recognized over the period the related service is provided. Licensing fees are based on a percentage of the average monthly net assets and recognized over the period the related service is provided. |
|||||||||||||||
| Depreciation and Amortization | Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation is provided for using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of their respective leases or service lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter. Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. |
|||||||||||||||
| Marketing and Advertising | Marketing and Advertising Advertising costs, including media advertising and production costs are expensed when incurred. |
|||||||||||||||
| Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less at the time of purchase to be classified as cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are held primarily with one large financial institution. |
|||||||||||||||
| Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable are customer and other obligations due under normal trade terms. An allowance for doubtful accounts is not provided since, in the opinion of management, all accounts receivable recorded are deemed collectible. |
|||||||||||||||
| Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets On a periodic basis, the Company performs a review for the impairment of long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the assets are less than their carrying amounts or when other events occur which may indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. |
|||||||||||||||
| Earnings per Share | Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the reduction in earnings per share assuming options or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. |
|||||||||||||||
| Investments | Investments The Company accounts for all of its investments as held-to-maturity, which are recorded at amortized cost. For held-to-maturity investments, the Company has the intent and ability to hold investments to maturity and it is not more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity. On a periodic basis, the Company reviews its portfolio of investments for impairment. If a decline in fair value is deemed to be other-than-temporary, the security is written down to its fair value through earnings. |
|||||||||||||||
| Goodwill | Goodwill Goodwill is the excess of the fair value of the purchase price over the fair values of the identifiable net assets at the acquisition date. The Company tests its goodwill for impairment at least annually. An impairment loss is triggered if the estimated fair value of the operating reporting unit is less than the estimated net book value. Such loss is calculated as the difference between the estimated fair value of goodwill and its carrying value. |
|||||||||||||||
| Stock-Based Awards | Stock-Based Awards Accounting for stock-based compensation requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all equity awards based on estimated fair values. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation for its employees based on the cost of employee services received in exchange for a stock-based award. Stock-based compensation is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the award and are amortized over the relevant service period. Stock-based awards granted to non-employees for goods or services are valued at the fair value of the equity instruments issued or the fair value of consideration received, whichever is a more reliable measure of the fair value of the transaction, and recognized when performance obligations are complete. |
|||||||||||||||
| Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method, which requires the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial and tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are adjusted by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In order to recognize and measure any unrecognized tax benefits, management evaluates and determines whether any of its tax positions are more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Once it is determined that a position meets this recognition threshold, the position is measured to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The Company records interest expense and penalties related to tax expenses as income tax expense. |
|||||||||||||||
| Related Party Transactions | Related Party Transactions The Company’s primary revenues and the majority of its expenses are associated with providing investment advisory services to WTT and WisdomTree ETFs. The Trustees of WTT are primarily responsible for overseeing the management and affairs of the WisdomTree ETFs and WTT for the benefit of the WisdomTree ETF shareholders and WTT has contracted with the Company to provide for general management and administration of WTT and the WisdomTree ETFs. Certain officers of the Company also provide general management oversight of WTT; however, these officers have no material decision making responsibilities and primarily implement the decisions of the Trustees of WTT. The Company has granted WTT an exclusive license to certain of its indexes for operation of the WisdomTree ETFs and is also responsible for certain expenses of WTT, 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. In exchange, the Company receives fees based on a percentage of the ETF average daily net assets. The advisory agreements may be terminated by WTT upon notice. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the balance of accounts receivable from WTT was approximately $15,471 and $14,791, respectively, which are included as a component of accounts receivable on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Revenue from advisory services provided to WTT for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $46,660 and $39,437, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $133,022 and $105,691, respectively. Revenue from advisory fee services provided to BI for three months ended September 30, 2014 was approximately $282 and for the period from April 15, 2014 to September 30, 2014 was approximately $467. |
|||||||||||||||
| Third Party Sharing Arrangements | Third Party Sharing Arrangements Third party sharing arrangements expense consists of payments for marketing agreements with third parties. |
|||||||||||||||
| Segment, Geographic and Customer Information | Segment, Geographic and Customer Information The Company operates as a single business segment as an ETP sponsor and asset manager providing investment advisory services. As of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, substantially all of the Company’s revenues, pretax income and assets are derived or located in the U.S. The Company maintains operations in Europe through its acquisition of Boost, now known as WisdomTree Europe (Note 10). |
|||||||||||||||
| Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09 (ASU 2014-09) Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which is a new comprehensive revenue recognition standard on the financial reporting requirements for revenue from contracts entered into with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements. |
|||||||||||||||
| Business Combinations | Business Combinations The Company includes the results of operations of the businesses that it acquires from the respective dates of acquisition. The fair values of the purchase price of the acquisitions are allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase price over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. |
|||||||||||||||
| Subsequent Events | Subsequent Events The Company has evaluated subsequent events after the date of the consolidated financial statements to consider whether or not the impact of such events needed to be reflected or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. Such evaluation was performed through the issuance date of the consolidated financial statements. |
