FXZ vs. BOUT ETF Comparison

Comparison of First Trust Materials AlphaDEX Fund (FXZ) to Innovator IBD Breakout Opportunities ETF (BOUT)
FXZ

First Trust Materials AlphaDEX Fund

FXZ 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 StrataQuant(R) Materials 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 NYSE Euronext to objectively identify and select stocks from the Russell 1000(R) Index in the materials and processing sector that may generate positive alpha relative to traditional passive-style indices through the use of the AlphaDEX(R) selection methodology. It is non-diversified.

BOUT

Innovator IBD Breakout Opportunities ETF

BOUT Description The investment seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the performance of the IBD® Breakout Stocks Index (the "index"). The fund will normally invest at least 80% of its net assets (including investment borrowings) in the equity securities that comprise the index. The index seeks to provide opportunistic investment exposure to those stocks with the potential to "break out," or experience a period of sustained price growth beyond the stock's recent "resistance level," with consideration for various market conditions. The fund is non-diversified. BOUT uses technical analysis to find stocks that are likely to breakout. The funds index relies on an algorithm that establishes a base price (a recent high) for each eligible security. The index then follows the trend for each stock. Selected stocks are ranked by a combination of relative strength and fundamental factors, and then weighted in fixed tiers according to this ranking. In addition, BOUT will move 50% of its portfolio into T-bills based on market signals: a rapid increase in either margin debt or overall stock prices, combined with slowing reversing momentum in the S&P 500. The T-bill position will remain in place until the S&P 500 falls by 50% or show indications of rising momentum. BOUT is rebalanced and reconstituted weekly after the close on Friday. The frequent rebalance schedule means the fund will be highly responsive to the technical factors that drive its strategy, but could also experience high turnover.
