  • The First Trust Large Cap Value AlphaDEX ETF (FTA) was launched on 05/08/2007, and is a passively managed exchange traded fund designed to offer broad exposure to the Large Cap Value segment of the US equity market.

The article discusses the First Trust Large Cap Value AlphaDEX ETF (FTA), which focuses on large-cap value stocks selected through the AlphaDEX methodology. This methodology aims to select stocks that offer value based on various fundamental factors, potentially providing a different exposure compared to traditional cap-weighted indexes. The ETF has shown a year-to-date performance of about 10.15% and a one-year performance of roughly 16.96% as of the latest data. It has an expense ratio of 0.59%, which is relatively competitive within its category. The fund's top holdings include companies like Intel, Chevron, and Pfizer, with a significant concentration in sectors like Financials, Industrials, and Healthcare. The article suggests that FTA could be considered by investors looking for value in large-cap stocks, especially those who believe in the AlphaDEX stock selection process. However, it also notes that while the ETF has performed well, investors should consider their overall investment strategy, risk tolerance, and the fund's historical performance before investing.
