- First Trust SMID Capital Strength ETF (FSCS) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in small- and mid-cap U.S. equities exhibiting strength in return on equity, return on invested capital, and growth metrics as defined by The SMID Capital Strength Index; it provides exposure to approximately 50 securities selected for financial strength, profitability, and investment capacity across sectors including technology, industrials, consumer discretionary, and financials. The fund tracks The SMID Capital Strength Index, a rules-based benchmark emphasizing companies with market capitalizations between $400 million and $12 billion, offering diversified holdings in U.S. stocks comprising roughly 98% of assets, with minor allocations to non-U.S. stocks and cash. Managed by First Trust Advisors L.P., founded in 1991 and headquartered in Wheaton, Illinois, the ETF operates in the U.S. market, targeting individual investors, financial advisors, and institutions seeking mid-cap blend exposure via Nasdaq-listed shares with a net expense ratio of 0.60%. In June 2024, the fund underwent a major strategic shift by changing its underlying index from the Nasdaq Riskalyze US Mid Cap Index to The SMID Capital Strength Index and renaming from its prior designation while adopting the FSCS ticker, enhancing focus on capital strength factors; it continues regular quarterly distributions, including recent payouts such as $0.0389 per share.
