Our read on FXR
DIndustrials, but not by size. FXR ranks US industrial names on growth and value metrics, drops the weakest, then weights the survivors in tiers. A 2007-vintage smart-beta spin on planes, trains and machinery.
The Fund seeks investment results that generally correspond to the price and yield, before fees and expenses, of the StrataQuant® Industrials Index.
Why people hold it
- The AlphaDEX screen scores industrials on growth and value metrics, cuts the lowest-ranked names, and weights what's left by rank rather than market cap.ftportfolios.comfirsttrust.ca
- Roughly 140 holdings, sorted into tiers and equal-weighted inside each tier, so mid-cap machinery and transport names carry real weight instead of a handful of megacaps steering the fund.firsttrust.ca
- Running since 2007, one of the original factor-screened sector funds, and it has stayed tight to its StrataQuant Industrials Index. Pays quarterly.
Worth knowing
- The screen costs money: 0.60% a year, against 0.08% for XLI and 0.09% for VIS. That gap is the price of the ranking rules.
- Thinly traded next to the sector's household-name ETFs, which can mean wider bid-ask spreads, especially around the open and close.
- Tiered weighting tilts the portfolio smaller than the cap-weighted sector, so results and volatility can diverge from the industrials index most people quote.firsttrust.ca
