Description: FTA First Trust Large Cap Value November 16, 2025

The First Trust Large Cap Value AlphaDEX® Fund (NASDAQ: FTA) aims to allocate at least 90 % of its net assets-including any investment borrowings-to the securities that compose its underlying index. The index applies the AlphaDEX® methodology to the NASDAQ US 500 Large-Cap Index, selecting value-oriented stocks that the model expects to generate positive alpha or superior risk-adjusted returns compared with traditional large-cap benchmarks.

As of the latest filing, FTA carries an expense ratio of roughly 0.45 % and manages about $1.2 billion in assets. Its top sector exposures are typically financials, industrials, and consumer discretionary, reflecting the broader market tilt toward value-sensitive industries when interest rates rise. Recent quarterly data show the fund’s turnover ratio around 30 %, indicating moderate portfolio churn, and its 12-month total return has trailed the S&P 500 by roughly 1.2 percentage points, a gap that narrows when the Fed’s tightening cycle eases.
