Description: FDL First Trust Morningstar July 28, 2025
The First Trust Morningstar Dividend Leaders Index Fund (FDL) is an ETF that tracks an index designed to measure the performance of the 100 highest-yielding stocks with a consistent record of dividend payment and the ability to sustain their dividend payments.
As a Large Value ETF, FDLs investment strategy focuses on established companies with a history of stable dividend payments, making it a potentially attractive option for income-seeking investors. The funds non-diversified nature means it may be more concentrated in a smaller number of holdings, which can increase the risk of significant losses if any of the top holdings experience a downturn.
To evaluate FDLs performance, key performance indicators (KPIs) such as dividend yield, payout ratio, and dividend growth rate can be used. A high dividend yield may indicate an attractive income stream, but its essential to assess the sustainability of the dividend payments by examining the payout ratio and dividend coverage ratio. Additionally, metrics like the funds expense ratio, tracking error, and beta can provide insights into its overall efficiency and risk profile.
From a portfolio management perspective, FDLs top holdings, sector allocation, and industry exposure can be analyzed to understand its underlying drivers of performance. Investors can also examine the funds turnover rate, average market capitalization, and other characteristics to determine its suitability within their overall investment strategy.
