FTGS First Trust Growth Strength ETF
The First Trust Growth Strength ETF (FTGS) strives to achieve investment results that closely mirror the overall performance—encompassing both price changes and income generated—of its benchmark, The Growth Strength Index. This alignment is measured before accounting for the ETF's management fees and operational costs. Typically, the Fund commits at least 80% of its net assets (including any funds borrowed for investment purposes) to the common stocks and real estate investment trusts (REITs) that constitute this underlying Index.
