Description: FGD First Trust Dow Jones November 30, 2025
The First Trust Dow Jones Global Select Dividend Index Fund (FGD) is an ETF that commits at least 90 % of its net assets-including any investment borrowings-to the common stocks and depositary receipts that compose its benchmark index. The benchmark is a dividend-yield-weighted selection of 100 large-cap equities drawn from the developed-market segment of the Dow Jones World Index SM.
Key quantitative facts (as of the latest filing) include an expense ratio of 0.58 %, total assets under management of roughly $1.2 billion, and a trailing 12-month dividend yield near 5.8 %. The fund’s top sector exposures are financials (≈ 30 %), consumer staples (≈ 20 %) and utilities (≈ 15 %), reflecting the dividend-focused nature of the underlying index.
Primary drivers of performance are global dividend-policy trends, prevailing interest-rate environments, and currency fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the local currencies of the underlying securities. A rise in U.S. rates could pressure high-yield foreign equities, while a weaker dollar typically boosts the fund’s net-return by increasing the dollar value of foreign dividends.
