FYX
First Trust Small Cap Core AlphaDEX FundFYX Fund Description
FYX tracks an index of small-cap stocks selected from the S&P 600 Index based on quantitatively driven growth and value factors.
FYX Factset Analytics Insight
FYX uses fundamental and technical factors to select and weight holdings in an attempt to beat the small-cap market, but at a premium cost. In its pursuit of alpha, FYX substantively differs from the market, but not radically so. Foremost, its small-cap exposure is a bit purer and its weighted average market cap is far lower than our benchmark's. Second, it's prone to making a lot of sector bets, deviating from the market to varying degrees at varying times. Even with a portfolio encompassing hundreds of stocks, FYX is narrow compared with the vast universe of US small-caps. All in all, FYX takes on more market risk with its approach, so weigh the extra risk exposure when comparing the latest returns. It's an easy fund to trade for both retail and block traders, thanks to small spreads in the secondary market and great liquidity in the primary market. However, the fund charges a stiff fee, though it's in line with other alpha-seeking funds, and it recovers some of its fee via solid fund management. Note: On April 8, 2016 the fund switched underlying indexes from the old "Defined" index to the current Nasdaq version. The index universe may differ slightly but the factors and methodology are the same.
