FTXG First Trust Nasdaq Food & Beverage ETF

Seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the Nasdaq US Smart Food & Beverage Index. The Index selects the 30 most liquid eligible food and beverage securities from the NASDAQ US Benchmark Index and then ranks those securities based on three factors: 1) Volatility – trailing 12-month price fluctuation. 2) Value – cash flow to price. 3) Growth – the 3-, 6-, 9-, and 12-month average price appreciation. The securities are weighted based on their score on the three factors. The Index weighting methodology includes caps to prevent high concentrations among single stocks. The Index is reconstituted annually and rebalanced quarterly.
