Products and/or services of First Trust NASDAQ-100 Equal Weighted Index Fund
- Investment Objective: Aims to replicate the performance of the NASDAQ-100 Equal Weighted Index, which invests in the same 100 companies as the NASDAQ-100 Index, but weights each company equally. This differs from the traditional NASDAQ-100, where the largest companies hold the most significant weighting.
- Exposure: Provides investors with exposure to the largest 100 non-financial companies listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange, with equal weighting offering a diversified portfolio and potentially mitigating the impact of any single company's performance.
- Passive Management: The fund is passively managed, meaning it tracks the underlying index without attempting to outperform it through active stock selection.
- Cost-Effective Access: Offers a relatively low expense ratio compared to actively managed funds, making it a potentially cost-effective way to gain exposure to the NASDAQ-100 with equal weighting.
- Growth Potential: Aims to capture the long-term growth potential of the largest non-financial companies listed on the NASDAQ exchange, while offering potentially higher volatility compared to market-cap weighted indexes.
- Liquidity and Transparency: Trades like a stock on major exchanges, offering liquidity for investors to easily buy and sell shares and transparency in pricing throughout the trading day.
