First Trust Japan AlphaDEX Fund Company profile
The investment seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield (before the fund's fees and expenses) of an equity index called the NASDAQ AlphaDEX® Japan Index. The fund will normally invest at least 90% of its net assets (including investment borrowings) in the common stocks, depositary receipts, real estate investment trusts ("REITs") and preferred shares that comprise the index. The index is designed to select stocks from the NASDAQ Japan Index (the "base index") that may generate positive alpha, or risk- adjusted returns, relative to traditional indices through the use of the AlphaDEX® selection methodology. As a result, the fund could be appropriate for some investors seeking to make a tactical tilt towards Japanese equities while at the same time employing the popular methodology from First Trust in order to potentially avoid some of the worst names in the index.Latest shares articles
