Description: FGD Dow Jones Global Select January 25, 2026
The First Trust Dow Jones Global Select Dividend Index Fund (FGD) is mandated to allocate at least 90 % of its net assets-including any investment-borrowings-to the common stocks and depositary receipts that constitute its benchmark. The benchmark is a dividend-yield-weighted index of 100 large-cap equities drawn from the developed-market segment of the Dow Jones World Index SM, meaning the fund’s exposure is concentrated in companies with historically higher payouts.
As of the end of 2025, FGD reported a weighted-average dividend yield of roughly 5.2 % (versus a 4.5 % yield for the broader MSCI World ex-USA index), an expense ratio of 0.58 % (below the average 0.73 % for foreign large-value ETFs), and total assets under management of about $2.1 billion. Sector allocation is dominated by Financials (≈ 28 %) and Consumer Staples (≈ 22 %), reflecting the fund’s tilt toward stable cash-generating businesses. The top five holdings-Nestlé, HSBC Holdings, Roche, Unilever and Banco Santander-collectively account for roughly 15 % of the portfolio, indicating a moderate concentration risk that investors should monitor against sector-specific headwinds such as rising interest rates and regulatory pressure on banking margins.
