First Trust Emerging Markets AlphaDEX FundFEM Fund Description
The First Trust Emerging Markets AlphaDex Fund tracks an index of emerging markets companies selected using a quantitative methodology and weighted in tiers.
FEM Factset Analytics Insight
FEM does not promise broad exposure to emerging markets, trying instead to build a portfolio of stocks positioned to outperform. The fund uses a selection methodology focused on growth and value factors to screen firms, and a tiered weighting system to produce a distinct and changing portfolio. FEM doesn't look much like the broad market, with major sector and geographic bets that are liable to change considerably over time, so investors should review the fund's current exposure periodically. In general, the fund has a bias toward midcaps and carries a much smaller average market cap compared to our neutral EM benchmark.While the fund seeks to beat the market, its track record is inconclusive and it has typically taken on more risk than our benchmark. FEM offers middling liquidity: volumes tend to be modest but steady, and spreads are generally manageable if not thin. Block liquidity is excellent for larger investors. FEM's novel exposure doesn't come cheap, and its steep fee poses a considerable performance hurdle.
