- First Trust Nasdaq Food & Beverage ETF (FTXG) is an exchange-traded fund that tracks the Nasdaq US Smart Food & Beverage Index, providing investors with targeted exposure to U.S. food and beverage companies selected and weighted by a multi-factor methodology incorporating liquidity, value, and momentum factors. The ETF holds approximately 31 equity securities, predominantly large- and mid-cap stocks in the consumer staples sector; top holdings include The Coca-Cola Company (KO), PepsiCo, Inc. (PEP), Mondelez International, Inc. (MDLZ), The Kraft Heinz Company (KHC), and Archer-Daniels-Midland Company (ADM), with additional positions in companies such as Corteva, Inc. (CTVA), General Mills, Inc. (GIS), and McCormick & Company, Incorporated (MKC) spanning food products, soft drinks, grain processing, and distillers. It operates exclusively in U.S. markets, with nearly 100% allocation to domestic equities and a net expense ratio of 0.60%. FTXG was launched on September 20, 2016, and is issued by First Trust Exchange-Traded Fund VI, a series of First Trust Exchange-Traded Fund II, an open-ended investment company domiciled in the United States and advised by First Trust Advisors L.P., which is headquartered in Wheaton, Illinois, and founded in 1991. Recent developments for FTXG include regular dividend distributions, such as the declaration of $0.0963 per share in 2025 and ongoing quarterly or monthly payouts as part of First Trust's broader ETF portfolio strategy; the fund maintains assets under management of approximately $18-21 million with stable holdings focused on defensive consumer staples amid market volatility. First Trust Advisors, the ETF's sponsor, has pursued significant strategic expansions in 2024 and 2025, including the completion of mergers for certain closed-end funds into new ETFs in May 2024, the launch of two actively managed fixed income ETFs in February 2024 bringing its lineup to 235 funds, and three new target outcome strategy ETFs in June 2025, reflecting ongoing product innovation and growth in its $211 billion assets under management or supervision as of early 2024. No FTXG-specific acquisitions, partnerships, or reorganizations have been reported in the last 1-2 years.
