- First Trust Industrials/Producer Durables AlphaDEX Fund (FXR) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks investment results corresponding generally to the price and yield (before the fund's fees and expenses) of the StrataQuant Industrials Index. The index is a modified equal-dollar weighted benchmark designed by the NYSE Arca to objectively identify and select stocks from the Russell 1000 Index that may generate positive alpha relative to traditional passive-style indices, using the proprietary AlphaDEX stock selection methodology to target industrials and producer durables companies. The fund provides exposure to a diversified portfolio of approximately 137-141 holdings, primarily U.S. equities in the industrials sector (about 72%), with allocations to technology, consumer cyclical, basic materials, and financial services; top holdings as of recent data include Comfort Systems USA Inc., Rocket Lab USA Inc., GE Vernova Inc., EMCOR Group Inc., and Oshkosh Corp., representing roughly 7% of assets. Launched on May 8, 2007, and domiciled in the United States, FXR is managed by First Trust Advisors L.P., a federally registered investment advisor founded in 1991 and headquartered in Wheaton, Illinois, with additional offices in Austin, Texas, and Franklin, Tennessee. The fund trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker FXR, with total net assets of approximately $1.86 billion, a net expense ratio of 0.60%, and shares available for sale in the United States and Mexico. It focuses on mid-cap blend investment style within the industrials Morningstar category, emphasizing producer durables such as machinery, aerospace, defense, transportation equipment, and construction-related firms subject to economic cycles, capital spending, and regulatory influences. In recent developments, First Trust Advisors announced in October 2025 a proposed reorganization of four Vest-advised mutual funds into corresponding First Trust-advised mutual funds, subject to shareholder approval, reflecting ongoing strategic expansion in fund offerings through affiliation with Vest Financial LLC, in which an affiliate holds a majority equity interest; this builds on First Trust's broader assets under management reaching approximately $299 billion as of September 30, 2025. The fund has maintained steady operations amid market volatility, with routine distributions declared in December 2025 for FXR and other First Trust ETFs, alongside contractual expense caps at 0.70% through November 30, 2026. No major acquisitions, new product launches specific to FXR, or operational shifts for the fund itself have been reported in the last 1-2 years, though portfolio turnover remains elevated due to index rebalancing, and assets have fluctuated between $1.83 billion and $1.86 billion.
