Description: FXZ First Trust Materials January 02, 2026

The First Trust Materials AlphaDEX® Fund (FXZ) seeks to allocate at least 90% of its net assets-including any investment borrowings-to the securities that compose its underlying index. The index employs a modified equal-dollar weighting scheme to select Russell 1000® constituents within the materials and processing sector that the AlphaDEX® model predicts will outperform traditional market-cap-weighted benchmarks.

Key metrics (as of the latest filing): an expense ratio of 0.66%, total assets under management around $1.2 billion, and a top-10 holding concentration of roughly 30%, reflecting the equal-dollar tilt. The fund’s performance is closely tied to macro drivers such as global construction activity, infrastructure spending, and commodity price trends for steel, copper, and cement-sectors that historically account for the bulk of the materials index’s return variance.
