EDOW ETF

If you can't beat the market just buy the market.

Buy and hold investing can be risky, with many Dow stocks producing zero returns over long periods, emphasizing the need for active management. Tactical management of position sizes is crucial to mitigate risk and enhance returns, especially in a market heavily reliant on top-weighted stocks. Equal-weighted indices like EDOW may outperform cap-weighted ones, but holding stocks for years without review is not advisable.

Making its debut on 08/08/2017, smart beta exchange traded fund First Trust Dow 30 Equal Weight ETF (EDOW) provides investors broad exposure to the Style Box - Large Cap Blend category of the market.

The First Trust Dow 30 Equal Weight ETF (EDOW) was launched on 08/08/2017, and is a passively managed exchange traded fund designed to offer broad exposure to the Large Cap Blend segment of the US equity market.

EDOW tracks the Dow Jones Industrial Average Equal Weight Index, offering investors an alternative to the more popular price-weighted (DIA) and yield-weighted (DJD) funds. However, EDOW has failed to catch on. With just $225 million in assets under management since its August 2017 launch date, a big reason is its 0.50% expense ratio. One benefit of EDOW's equal weight approach is reduced volatility. However, its fundamentals are underwhelming compared to DIA, and with 76% overlap, the fees aren't justified.
