Our read on FFTY

ETF.net Research

In short

DInvestor's Business Daily's IBD 50 stock list, wrapped in a fund. A computer rescreens the growth leaders every week, and a market-signal rule can shift half the index into Treasury bills.

Stated mandate

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

Why people hold it

  • The portfolio is rebuilt weekly against an 11-factor growth and technical screen, so fading names drop out in days rather than waiting on a quarterly review.sec.gov
  • Built-in defensive gear: on certain market-wide signals, the index moves half its weight into Treasury bills at the next reconstitution and stays there until a reversal signal.sec.govsec.gov 2
  • Concentrated on purpose. About 50 names, weighted by rank, so the highest-scoring stocks carry real weight instead of being diluted across hundreds of positions.sec.gov
  • Want the IBD 50 as a fund? This is the only wrapper for it. No other ETF in the category tracks the same declared index.

Worth knowing

  • The fee is 1.03%, above the category median, with no waiver currently reducing it. Trend peers such as WAMA (0.32%) and PTLC (0.60%) charge less.
  • The prospectus itself flags that weekly rebalancing drives higher turnover than similar funds, which tends to mean more trading friction and taxable gains.sec.gov
  • Thinly traded and small in assets next to the category's giants, so spreads and limit orders matter more at the point of entry and exit.
