First Trust S&P 500 Diversified Dividend Aristocrats ETF (KNGZ)
About this ETF
The First Trust S&P 500 Diversified Dividend Aristocrats ETF (KNGZ) endeavors to achieve investment results that broadly mirror the market price movements and income stream (before its own operational costs) of a specific equity benchmark. This benchmark is known as the S&P 500 Sector-Neutral Dividend Aristocrats Index. Under typical market conditions, the Fund commits a minimum of 90% of its net assets (including any borrowed capital utilized for investment) to the securities that make up this Index. Adopting a passive indexing strategy, the Fund aims to precisely replicate, prior to its fees and expenses, the Index's comprehensive total return, which naturally includes all dividends distributed by the common stocks within it.
