FNY vs. SMDY ETF Comparison

Comparison of First Trust Mid Cap Growth AlphaDEX (FNY) to Syntax Stratified MidCap ETF (SMDY)

FNY

First Trust Mid Cap Growth AlphaDEX

FNY Description

The investment seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield (before the fund's fees and expenses) of an equity index called the Defined Mid Cap Growth Index (the "index"). The fund will normally invest at least 90% of its net assets in common stocks that comprise the index. The index is a modified equal-dollar weighted index designed by S&P to objectively identify and select stocks from the S&P MidCap 400(R) Growth Index that may generate positive alpha relative to traditional passive-style indices through the use of the AlphaDEX(R) selection methodology. It is non-diversified.
