FGD – First Trust Dow Jones Global Select Dividend Index Fund is an exchange-traded fund. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield, before fees and expenses, of an equity index called the Dow Jones Global Select Dividend Index. The Index universe is defined as all component companies of the 25 developed-market country indexes in the Dow Jones Global Indexes (DJGI) family. To be considered for the Index, companies in the Index universe must pass eligibility screens for dividend quality and liquidity. The company must: Pay a current dividend. Have a current-year dividend-per-share ratio that is greater than or equal to its five-year average annual dividend-per-share ratio. Have a five-year average payout ratio of less than or equal to 60% for U.S. and European companies; or less than or equal to 80% for all other countries. Have a minimum three-month daily average trading volume of $3 million. Stocks meeting all eligibility requirements are ranked by dividend yield. The top 100 highest-yielding stocks are selected for inclusion in the Index, subject to buffers designed to limit turnover by favoring current Index components: Stocks in the Index universe are ranked in descending order by indicated annual dividend yield, defined as a stock’s unadjusted indicated annual dividend (not including any special dividends) divided by its unadjusted price. All current Index component stocks that are among the top 150 stocks are included in the Index. Noncomponent stocks are added to the Index based on their rankings until the component count reaches 100. Component weightings are assigned based on dividend yield. Weights of individual component stocks are capped at 10%. The Index is reconstituted and adjusted annually in March.
