XPNDCFirst Trust Expanded Technology ETF

In short

TMED No data

XPND Most tech ETFs stop at the GICS sector line. XPND steps over it, adding tech-dependent names from financials and communication services, then lets a quant model cut the field to about 50 large caps.

Stated mandate

TMED No data

XPND The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation. It normally invests at least 80% of net assets in U.S.-listed common stocks of information-technology companies and technology-dependent companies in financials and communication services, using an active quantitative model.

Why people hold it

TMED No data

  • XPND Defines tech by what a company runs on, not its sector label: at least 80% of net assets in US tech plus tech-dependent financials and communication services names.ftportfolios.com
  • Active quant model starts with a large-cap universe and ranks it on operating and financial metrics such as return on equity, momentum and free cash flow growth.businesswire.com
  • Does what the label says: the portfolio lines up closely with the mandate in its prospectus, and it has run this way since launching in 2021.ftportfolios.com

Worth knowing

TMED No data

  • XPND Roughly 50 stocks in one theme. Concentration is the whole point, and it swings harder than a broad-market fund in both directions.
  • A small fund that trades lightly, so bid-ask spreads can run wider than on mega-cap tech ETFs. Limit orders matter more here.
  • 0.65% is median for active US equity ETFs, but broad active core peers such as DFAU (0.12%) and AVLC (0.15%) charge a fraction of it.
