Investment Summary

📎 Investment Objective

The First Trust Dow 30 Equal Weight ETF (EDOW) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Dow Jones Industrial Average Equal Weight Index.

🎯 Investment Strategy

The fund employs a replication strategy, investing in the same securities that make up the underlying index in approximately the same proportions. The index equally weights the 30 component stocks of the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

✨ Key Features

  • Provides exposure to the 30 large-cap stocks that make up the Dow Jones Industrial Average
  • Uses an equal-weight index methodology, rather than a market-cap weighted approach
  • Aims to track the performance of the underlying index before fees and expenses
  • Low expense ratio of 0.00%

⚠️ Primary Risks

  • Equity market risk, as the fund is exposed to the performance of large-cap U.S. stocks
  • Concentration risk, as the fund is limited to only 30 securities
  • Index tracking error risk, as the fund may not perfectly replicate the performance of the underlying index
  • Liquidity risk, as the fund may have difficulty trading some of its holdings

👤 Best For

This ETF may be suitable for investors seeking broad exposure to large-cap U.S. equities through a diversified portfolio of Dow 30 stocks. The equal-weight approach may appeal to investors looking to reduce concentration risk compared to a market-cap weighted index fund. However, the limited number of holdings means the fund may be more volatile than a broader large-cap index fund.
