The First Trust Dow Jones Global Select Dividend Index Fund (FGD) is an exchange-traded fund that tracks the performance of 100 high-yield stocks from developed markets globally. The fund maintains a mandate to invest at least 90% of its net assets in the common stocks and depositary receipts included in its underlying index.
The index utilizes a dividend-yield weighting methodology, focusing on companies with established track records of returning capital to shareholders. This strategy often results in high exposure to capital-intensive sectors such as Financials, Utilities, and Real Estate, where stable cash flows support consistent payout ratios. By selecting from the developed-market portion of the Dow Jones World Index, the fund targets mature businesses in regions with transparent regulatory frameworks and liquid equity markets.
