The First Trust Dividend Strength ETF (FTDS) operates as an exchange-traded index fund. Its primary goal is to mirror the total investment performance – reflecting both its price movements and generated income – of The Dividend Strength Index, prior to accounting for the fund's own fees and expenses.
Distribution yield and SEC yield use different methodologies. Payouts may include income, capital gains, or return of capital.
