- Donoghue Forlines Yield Enhanced Real Asset ETF (DFRA), now trading under the ticker ABLD as Abacus FCF Real Assets Leaders ETF following a name and ticker change effective December 13, 2024, is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the FCF Yield Enhanced Real Asset Index (now referred to as the Abacus FCF Real Assets Leaders Index). The fund provides exposure to a portfolio of U.S. and global real asset equities across all market capitalizations, selected and weighted based on strong free cash flow (FCF) yield, earnings quality, and dividend yield metrics; its holdings include up to 75 stocks or until 90% of cumulative target weight is achieved, with primary sector allocations to energy minerals, finance, industrial services, process industries, producer manufacturing, and electronic technology, encompassing common stocks, real estate investment trusts (REITs), master limited partnerships (MLPs), and American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) from the real assets industry group. The ETF is a series of TrimTabs ETF Trust, with investment advisory services provided by FCF Advisors LLC and sub-advisory by Donoghue Forlines LLC; it operates primarily in developed North American markets, with additional geographic exposure to regions including the United Kingdom, Brazil, and Germany.
Launched on December 13, 2021, and headquartered at 1345 Avenue of the Americas, 33rd Floor, New York, NY 10105 through its adviser, the fund targets institutional and retail investors seeking yield-enhanced real asset strategies amid volatile equity and commodity environments.
In a significant recent development, the ETF underwent a rebranding in December 2024, changing its name from Donoghue Forlines Yield Enhanced Real Asset ETF (DFRA) to Abacus FCF Real Assets Leaders ETF (ABLD), accompanied by a ticker symbol update from DFRA to ABLD on December 13, 2024, as part of broader issuer transitions under Abacus FCF ETF Trust and FCF Advisors LLC; this followed prior management by TrimTabs ETF Trust and reflects strategic shifts toward emphasizing FCF-focused indexing without reported acquisitions, funding rounds, or new product launches in 2024-2025. The net expense ratio was adjusted to 0.39%, enhancing cost efficiency, while assets under management stood at approximately $57 million as of late 2025, with a trailing twelve-month dividend yield exceeding 9%.
