Our read on FFTY

ETF.net Research

DInvestor's Business Daily's famous growth screen, boxed into an ETF. FFTY holds about 50 IBD 50 Index names, rules-based and concentrated, at a price tag closer to an active manager than an index fund.

Stated mandate

The Fund aims to deliver the performance of the IBD 50 Index before fees and expenses.

Why people hold it

  1. 01You're buying a published rulebook, not a hunch: the fund aims to deliver the IBD 50 Index, an advertised growth screen with a name and a method.
  2. 02About 50 holdings, so individual names actually move the needle instead of getting diluted among hundreds of also-rans.
  3. 03Live since 2015, which means a real multi-cycle record in the market rather than a backtest of a growth screen.
  4. 04Standard registered fund structure holding US-listed equities, no leverage, derivatives layer, or partnership tax paperwork.

Worth knowing

  1. 010.80% a year against a 0.45% median for index-tracking peers, and cohort leaders like VT and SCHK charge under a tenth of that.
  2. 02Thinly traded next to the category's giants, so the spread and a limit order matter more here on the way in and the way out.
  3. 03Concentrated growth is a sharper ride: with about 50 names, a few positions can drive results in either direction.
