First Trust Indxx Global Natural Resources Income ETF (FTRI)

Overview

The fund described focuses on investing in the upstream segment of the natural resources sector, particularly targeting companies with high dividend yields. By allocating at least 90% of its net assets in common stocks and depositary receipts that make up its benchmark index, this fund aims to replicate the index's market performance. This index is a free float adjusted market capitalization weighted index, curated to highlight the top 50 dividend-yielding companies within this specific market segment. Despite the concentrated focus on a high-yield strategy within the natural resources sector, the fund adopts a non-diversified investment approach. This strategy may offer investors the potential for income alongside exposure to the natural resources sector's growth dynamics.
