Description: FEX First Trust Large Cap Core November 12, 2025

The First Trust Large Cap Core AlphaDEX® Fund (NASDAQ: FEX) aims to allocate at least 90 % of its net assets-including any investment-borrowed capital-to the securities that compose its underlying AlphaDEX® index, which screens the NASDAQ US 500 Large-Cap Index for stocks expected to deliver positive alpha on a risk-adjusted basis.

Key fund metrics (as of the latest filing) include an expense ratio of 0.58 %, total assets under management of roughly $1.2 billion, and a 12-month trailing return of about +9 % (versus the S&P 500’s +7 % over the same period). The portfolio’s sector tilt leans toward information technology (≈ 25 % weight) and consumer discretionary (≈ 20 %), both of which are sensitive to corporate earnings growth and consumer confidence trends.

Macro-level drivers that could influence FEX’s performance are the Federal Reserve’s policy stance-higher rates tend to compress equity valuations, especially in growth-oriented tech stocks-and the pace of U.S. GDP growth, which underpins earnings momentum for large-cap companies.

For a deeper, data-driven dive into FEX’s factor exposures and valuation benchmarks, you might explore the analytics platform ValueRay, which aggregates real-time metrics to help you assess whether the fund’s alpha potential aligns with your risk tolerance.
