FCA Profile
The First Trust China AlphaDEX Fund (FCA) operates as an exchange-traded fund focused on leveraging the NASDAQ AlphaDEX China index. Launched by First Trust on April 18, 2011, FCA aims to replicate the Defined China Index, which employs an alpha-seeking strategy. This quantitative approach selects stocks based on a combination of value and growth factors to potentially enhance returns.
FCA's investment strategy seeks to capture the performance of Chinese companies exhibiting strong fundamentals and growth prospects. The Defined China Index, which the fund tracks, utilizes a disciplined methodology to allocate weights to constituents, emphasizing those with favorable valuation metrics and growth potential. This approach aims to optimize portfolio performance while managing risk.
First Trust's commitment to providing targeted investment solutions is underscored by FCA's launch, catering to investors seeking exposure to China's dynamic equity market. The fund's focus on the AlphaDEX methodology reflects First Trust's strategy of delivering innovative investment products designed to outperform traditional market-cap weighted indices.
As part of First Trust's comprehensive suite of ETF offerings, FCA enables investors to participate in China's economic growth story while benefiting from a systematic and disciplined investment approach. Since inception, FCA has established itself as a strategic investment vehicle offering potential advantages in capturing alpha through its unique stock selection process and index tracking methodology.
