FEP
First Trust Europe AlphaDEX FundFEP Fund Description
FEP tracks a tiered equal-weighted index of 200 companies selected from the S&P Europe BMI based on the S&P's AlphaDex selection methodology.
FEP Factset Analytics Insight
FEP aims to outperform the broad European market by using a quantitative methodology to select 200 stocks using growth and value factors. It then ranks these stocks based on the strength of the resulting style scores and weights them equally within quintiles. It reconstitutes and rebalances its portfolio semiannually to maintain exposure to its expected outperformers. It doesn't look much like our benchmark, due in part to its tiered equal-weighting scheme. Sector biases abound—the fund seriously underweights non-cyclicals and healthcare—though they can also change in light of the fund's rebalancing. FEP offers decent onscreen liquidity, though spreads can be significant at times. Larger investors will rejoice in FEP's perfect block liquidity score. The fund's Achilles heel is its high fee, and while investors may realize lower costs thanks to its securities lending, tracking can be rather volatile. FEP might be a slightly too-bumpy ride for some investors, given the costs.
