Description: FXU First Trust Utilities November 13, 2025
The First Trust Utilities AlphaDEX® Fund (FXU) seeks to allocate at least 90 % of its net assets-including any investment borrowings-to the securities that compose its underlying index. The index is a modified equal-dollar weighted construct that screens the Russell 1000® utilities universe using the AlphaDEX® methodology, aiming to capture stocks with the potential to generate positive alpha versus traditional market-cap-weighted utilities benchmarks.
Key metrics to watch include the fund’s expense ratio (currently around 0.60 %), which is modest for an actively-selected utilities ETF, and its trailing-12-month dividend yield of roughly 3.8 %, reflecting the sector’s historically high cash-flow stability. Performance is highly sensitive to interest-rate movements because utilities are capital-intensive and carry substantial debt; a 100-basis-point rise in the 10-year Treasury rate typically depresses sector valuations by 1-2 %. Additionally, the ongoing shift toward renewable generation and ESG-focused regulation is reshaping the competitive landscape, favoring utilities with sizable clean-energy pipelines and strong regulatory capital-recovery mechanisms.
For a deeper, data-driven look at how FXU’s holdings align with these macro drivers, you may find ValueRay’s analytics platform useful for drilling into sector-specific risk factors and forward-looking valuation models.
