- First Trust Indxx Innovative Transaction & Process ETF (LEGR) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Indxx Blockchain Index by investing in global equity securities of companies involved in the development and usage of blockchain technology; it provides exposure to firms across information technology, financials, communication services, industrials, and other sectors that support innovative transaction and process solutions, including hardware manufacturers, software providers, payment processors, and enterprise adopters of distributed ledger systems. The fund holds approximately 104 securities, with top holdings such as Intel Corporation, Micron Technology, Inc., Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., and International Business Machines Corporation, representing diversified exposure to large-cap growth and value stocks across market capitalizations. Launched on January 24, 2018, and domiciled in the United States, LEGR is managed by First Trust Advisors L.P., an affiliate of First Trust Portfolios L.P., with shares listed on the Nasdaq Global Market.
LEGR operates globally, with portfolio holdings spanning the United States, Europe (including Germany, France, and Switzerland), Asia (such as South Korea, Taiwan, India, and China), and other regions, targeting investors seeking thematic exposure to blockchain-enabling technologies without direct cryptocurrency investment. The fund focuses on companies deriving significant revenue from blockchain-related activities, including transaction processing, data security, smart contracts, and supply chain innovations; it employs a full replication strategy to mirror the index, regardless of individual security merits.
In recent developments, First Trust Advisors L.P. announced distributions for LEGR and other exchange-traded funds as of December 2025, alongside ongoing portfolio adjustments to reflect index rebalancing and market conditions. The firm also conducted trustee elections and re-elections in August 2025 and new board appointments in March 2024, ensuring continued governance stability for its ETF suite. As of December 8, 2025, the fund maintains assets under management of approximately $111 million to $118 million, with no reported acquisitions, partnerships, or major strategic shifts specific to LEGR in the last 1-2 years beyond routine operational updates and index provider licensing from Indxx, Inc.
