What this ETF is trying to do

The FIRST TRUST SMALL CAP VALUE ALPHADEX FUND (FYT) is an ETF designed to invest in small-cap value stocks. Small-cap companies are generally smaller businesses compared to giant corporations. "Value" refers to a strategy of looking for stocks that may be priced lower than what they are worth.

What the numbers show

The data shows that FYT has experienced significant growth in its share price over different time periods.

• Year-to-Date (YTD): The price return is approximately 19.05%. When including distributions, the YTD total return is approximately 20.77%.

• One Year: The one-year price return is approximately 22.95%. The one-year total return is approximately 25.43%.

• Three Years: The three-year price return is approximately 46.51%. The three-year total return is approximately 53.92%.

It is important to understand the difference between these two numbers. The price return only tracks how much the share price itself changed. The total return includes both the change in share price and the extra money earned from distributions.

Based on an estimated price from roughly one year ago of $54.89, the current price is $67.48.

Income and distribution explanation

FYT provides cash distributions to investors. The current distribution yield is approximately 1.91%. This means the annual cash payments represent about 1.91% of the current share price. The trailing distributions are $1.29.

The fund usually pays out on a quarterly basis, having made 4 payments over the last 12 months. Most of these payments have historically occurred on Thursdays.

NAV erosion explanation

"NAV erosion" refers to a decline in the Net Asset Value (the actual value of the assets held by the fund). The supplied data is sufficient to evaluate price erosion, but it does not include enough historical NAV-per-share data to confirm or rule out NAV erosion.

However, looking at the price-based evidence, the fund has an erosion score of 100, which is labeled as "No price erosion detected." The erosion severity is rated as "good," and there is no severe erosion-risk flag present.

Pros

• Strong Returns: The fund has shown positive price and total returns over the one-year and three-year periods.

• Income Potential: The fund has an income rating grade of "A" with a score of 88.

• Price Stability: The data shows no detected price erosion.

Cons

• Small-Cap Focus: Investing in small companies can sometimes be more volatile than investing in large, established companies.

• Partial Data: The list of holdings provided is a partial list of the 224 total holdings in the fund.

Beginner takeaway

FYT is a small-cap value ETF that has recently shown both share-price growth and total returns. It also provides regular quarterly distributions. While the distribution yield is a way to measure income, investors should always look at the total return to see how the share price and distributions work together. Currently, the fund shows no signs of price erosion according to the supplied data.
