Summary

First Trust Value Line Dividend ETF FVD marries a yield-seeking directive with targeted quality screens that focus the portfolio on only the safest dividend payers. This approach effectively controls risk and should help the fund overcome its 0.67% expense ratio and deliver better risk-adjusted returns than the Russell 1000 Value Index. The fund earns a Morningstar Analyst Rating of Bronze.
