Description: FCG First Trust Natural Gas October 26, 2025
The First Trust Natural Gas ETF (FCG) commits at least 90% of its net assets-including any investment borrowings-to equities, depositary receipts, MLP units, and related securities that mirror its underlying index. The index targets mid- and large-cap firms whose revenues are heavily tied to natural-gas midstream operations (transport, processing, storage) or upstream exploration and production.
Key quantitative points to note: FCG’s expense ratio sits around 0.58%, modest for a sector-focused fund; its top holdings typically include pipeline operators such as Kinder Morgan (KMI) and Williams Companies (WMB), which together account for roughly 15% of assets. Recent natural-gas fundamentals-U.S. spot prices averaging $2.70/MMBtu in Q3 2025 and projected 3-4% YoY demand growth driven by power-generation and LNG export capacity-serve as primary performance drivers for the ETF’s constituents.
