Description: LDSF Low Duration Strategic Focus January 18, 2026
First Trust Low Duration Strategic Focus (NASDAQ:LDSF) targets short-term, income-generating securities by allocating at least 80 % of its net assets-including any borrowing-to U.S.-listed ETFs whose aggregate portfolio duration is three years or less. The fund may favor ETFs that are managed or advised by First Trust, reinforcing a consistent investment mandate across its holdings.
Key metrics (as of the latest filing) include an average weighted-average duration of ~2.7 years, a 30-day SEC yield around 4.1 %, and an expense ratio of 0.30 %. Because LDSF’s exposure is concentrated in short-term government and investment-grade corporate bonds, its performance is closely tied to Federal Reserve policy moves and the prevailing term-premium environment. In a rising-rate scenario, the fund’s low duration helps limit price volatility relative to longer-duration bond funds, while still capturing a modest yield advantage over cash equivalents.
