- First Trust Large Cap Value AlphaDEX Fund (FTA) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks investment results corresponding generally to the price and yield, before fees and expenses, of the Nasdaq AlphaDEX Large Cap Value Index. The fund normally invests at least 90% of its net assets, including investment borrowings, in the securities that comprise the index, which employs First Trust's proprietary AlphaDEX stock selection methodology to select and weight large-cap value stocks from the Nasdaq US 500 Large Cap Index based on fundamental factors such as sales, book value to price, cash flow to price, and return on assets; value characteristics include book value to price, cash flow to price, and return on assets. Launched on May 8, 2007 and domiciled in the United States, the fund is managed by First Trust Advisors L.P., a federally registered investment adviser founded in 1991 and headquartered in Wheaton, Illinois, with additional offices in Austin, Texas, and Franklin, Tennessee. The fund provides exposure to a diversified portfolio of approximately 300 large-cap U.S. value stocks across sectors including financial services (22%), technology (13%), industrials (10%), energy (10%), and healthcare (9%), with top holdings such as Western Digital Corp., Micron Technology Inc., Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co., ON Semiconductor Corp., and Synchrony Financial; it targets investors seeking value-oriented equity strategies in the large-cap segment of the U.S. market. Recent developments include a dividend increase in September 2025 to $0.4007 per share quarterly (annualized $1.60, yield approximately 1.8%), up from $0.31, alongside modest growth in institutional ownership during Q3 2025 with new positions initiated by firms including Private Trust Co. The fund reached a new 52-week high of $86.71 in December 2025, reflecting strong performance with year-to-date returns around 14.71% and total net assets exceeding $1.1 billion; regular quarterly distributions were announced by First Trust Advisors L.P. in March, June, September, and December 2024, and December 2024 into 2025, underscoring ongoing operational stability under its current index methodology, which transitioned to the Nasdaq AlphaDEX Large Cap Value Index on April 8, 2016.
