The First Trust Morningstar Dividend Leaders Index Fund (FDL) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the performance of the Morningstar Dividend Leaders Index, investing at least 90% of its net assets in the securities that comprise the index. The index is designed to measure the performance of the 100 highest-yielding stocks that have demonstrated a consistent record of dividend payments and the financial ability to sustain those payments. The fund is classified as non-diversified, meaning it may concentrate its holdings in a smaller number of issuers compared to diversified funds.
As a passively managed equity ETF in the Large Value category, FDL follows an index-based investment strategy that focuses on dividend-yielding companies. The funds emphasis on high-yielding stocks with sustainable dividend records reflects an income-oriented investment approach commonly used by investors seeking regular income streams and exposure to established, cash-generating businesses.
