- First Trust Global Tactical Commodity Strategy Fund (FTGC) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks total return and a relatively stable risk profile while providing investors with broad exposure to commodities through exchange-traded commodity futures contracts and related instruments; its portfolio includes futures in precious metals such as gold and silver, industrial metals including copper, zinc, aluminum, nickel, and lead, energy products like crude oil, natural gas, gasoline, and ultra-low sulfur diesel, agricultural commodities encompassing coffee, sugar, soybeans, corn, wheat, soybean meal, soybean oil, and cocoa, as well as livestock futures such as live cattle, feeder cattle, and lean hogs; the fund complements these exposures with significant allocations to cash equivalents and short-term U.S. Treasury securities for collateral and liquidity management. FTGC operates within the commodities broad basket segment, targeting institutional and retail investors seeking inflation hedging, diversification, and tactical commodity exposure without direct physical ownership. The fund was launched on October 22, 2013, and is domiciled in the United States with shares listed on the Nasdaq under the ticker FTGC; it is advised by First Trust Advisors L.P., a registered commodity pool operator and commodity trading advisor, and utilizes a Cayman Islands subsidiary for certain futures investments. Recent developments include a substantial increase in its quarterly dividend to $3.6647 per share declared payable on December 31, 2025, reflecting heightened commodity returns and distributions amid volatile energy and metals markets; institutional holdings have expanded notably, with firms such as UBS Group AG increasing stakes by 9.5% in Q3 2025, Raymond James Financial adding 34.9% in Q1 2025, and others like LPL Financial boosting positions by 24.9%, signaling growing investor confidence; portfolio reallocations as of December 2025 emphasize energy and agricultural futures amid global supply dynamics, with top holdings including gold futures at 12.13%, copper at 6.39%, and natural gas at 5.74%.
