Description: FDL First Trust Morningstar November 05, 2025
The First Trust Morningstar Dividend Leaders Index Fund (FDL) is a U.S.-based large-value ETF that aims to track an index of the 100 highest-yielding U.S. stocks with a documented history of consistent dividend payments and demonstrable capacity to maintain those payouts. By mandate, the fund invests at least 90 % of its net assets-including any investment-borrowed capital-directly in the securities that compose the index, resulting in a relatively concentrated, non-diversified portfolio.
Key metrics to watch: the fund’s expense ratio sits around 0.55 % (above the low-cost average for broad-market ETFs, which is ~0.15 %), and its weighted average dividend yield typically ranges between 3.5 % and 4.5 % depending on interest-rate environments. Because the underlying stocks are dividend-focused, the portfolio leans heavily toward mature sectors such as utilities, consumer staples, and financials, making it sensitive to changes in interest rates and inflation expectations. Historically, the index’s turnover rate hovers near 20 % annually, indicating moderate portfolio churn that can affect tax efficiency.
