About this ETF
The First Trust SkyBridge Crypto Industry and Digital Economy ETF seeks to achieve capital growth for its investors. Typically, the Fund commits a minimum of 80% of its net assets (including any borrowed capital) to common equities and American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) issued by businesses operating within the cryptocurrency industry and the broader digital economy. Of this 80% allocation, at least 50% of the Fund's net assets are dedicated specifically to companies in the crypto sector. The balance of the 80% allocation will then be directed towards firms in the digital economy. While the Fund generally aims to invest up to 25% of its net assets in Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Products (ETPs), it reserves the option to exceed this percentage under certain market circumstances.

Guided help: AUM is fund size. The expense ratio is the yearly cost baked into returns. NAV is the value of what the fund owns per share; the market price can sit slightly above (premium) or below (discount) it. Total return assumes distributions were reinvested. Every dataset shows its own as-of date because holdings, assets and quotes update on different schedules.
