AGQI vs. HDV ETF Comparison

Comparison of First Trust Active Global Quality Income ETF (AGQI) to iShares High Dividend ETF (HDV)
AGQI

First Trust Active Global Quality Income ETF

AGQI Description

AGQI aims to hold a global basket of income-producing equities of companies that can maintain or grow dividends without compromising their financial stability. Equity securities include common and preferred stocks, depositary receipts, and real estate investment trusts. The fund invests in US and non-US issuers, holding at least 40% of its assets outside the US, with up to 20% allocated in emerging markets. The fund uses a fundamental approach to select dividend-paying companies with quality income, meaning they can provide stable and growing dividends. Eligible companies are assessed based on ROE and/or ROIC, financial leverage ratio, and dividend payout ratio. The resulting portfolio may have a large-cap tilt, although the fund invests in companies of any market capitalization. On November 21, 2023, the ETF acquired all assets and liabilities of the First Trust Dynamic Europe Equity Income Fund (ticker: FDEU), which had about $220 million in assets, morphing the closed-end fund into an ETF.
