FDNI Profile
The First Trust Dow Jones International Internet ETF is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that aims to replicate the performance of the Dow Jones International Internet Index. The fund commits to investing at least 90% of its net assets, including any investment borrowings, in the common stocks and depositary receipts that make up this index. The index is developed and maintained by S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC and is specifically designed to measure the performance of securities issued by non-U.S. companies whose primary business operations are focused on Internet-related activities. This gives investors access to global opportunities in the rapidly growing digital economy.
The Dow Jones International Internet Index encompasses a diverse range of companies operating outside the United States, offering exposure to leading firms in the e-commerce, digital services, and online technology sectors across various regions. The index includes both developed and emerging markets, capturing the growth potential of companies that are shaping the future of the global Internet industry. By tracking this index, the First Trust Dow Jones International Internet ETF provides investors with a strategic way to participate in the expansion of Internet-based businesses beyond the U.S., benefiting from the global shift toward digitalization.
As a non-diversified fund, the First Trust Dow Jones International Internet ETF concentrates its investments in a smaller number of holdings compared to more diversified funds, focusing on those companies that are most representative of the international Internet sector. This concentration can result in higher potential returns if the selected companies perform well, but it also increases the fund’s risk exposure, as its performance is more directly influenced by the success or challenges faced by these individual companies. The fund’s strategy is well-suited for investors who are looking to diversify their portfolios with international growth stocks, particularly in the technology and Internet industries.
Managed by First Trust Advisors, the ETF leverages the firm’s expertise in thematic investing to provide targeted exposure to the global Internet industry. The fund is an attractive option for investors who believe in the long-term growth prospects of international Internet companies and are seeking to capitalize on the expansion of digital services and e-commerce around the world. By investing in this fund, investors gain access to a curated portfolio of leading non-U.S. Internet companies, positioning themselves to benefit from the ongoing global digital transformation and the increasing penetration of Internet services in international markets.
