Description: FXU First Trust Utilities January 16, 2026

The First Trust Utilities AlphaDEX® Fund (FXU) is an ETF that commits at least 90% of its net assets-including any leverage-to a modified equal-dollar weighted index. This index screens the Russell 1000 utilities universe using the AlphaDEX® methodology, aiming to capture stocks with a higher probability of generating alpha versus traditional market-cap-weighted utilities benchmarks.

Key metrics (as of Q4 2024) include an expense ratio of 0.61%, a trailing-12-month dividend yield around 3.4%, and a top-5 holdings concentration of roughly 30%, reflecting the equal-dollar weighting tilt toward mid-cap utilities. The sector’s performance is heavily influenced by interest-rate trends (higher rates can pressure utility valuations) and the ongoing shift toward renewable generation, which is driving capital-expenditure cycles and regulatory credit allocations.

For a deeper, data-driven breakdown of FXU’s risk-adjusted returns and sector exposure, you might find ValueRay’s analytics platform worth a quick look.
