Description: FTGS First Trust Growth Strength November 16, 2025

Under normal market conditions, the First Trust Growth Strength ETF (FTGS) commits at least 80% of its net assets-plus any investment-purpose borrowings-to the common stocks and REITs that compose its underlying index, which is classified as a non-diversified, large-blend vehicle.

The index construction applies quantitative screens for liquidity, return on equity, long-term debt levels, and both revenue and cash-flow growth, aiming to capture domestic equities that demonstrate solid financial fundamentals.

As of the latest filing, FTGS carries an expense ratio of 0.39% and manages roughly $1.2 billion in assets, with its top holdings concentrated in high-growth sectors such as technology (e.g., Apple, Microsoft) and consumer discretionary, while REIT exposure accounts for about 12% of the portfolio.

Key macro drivers include U.S. GDP growth and Federal Reserve policy: stronger economic activity tends to boost earnings growth for the equity component, whereas rising interest rates can pressure REIT valuations by increasing borrowing costs and compressing yields.
