About this ETF
The First Trust Securitized Plus ETF, known by its ticker DEED, is structured with the main goal of achieving optimal long-term total returns for its investors. Under typical market conditions, this exchange-traded fund commits a substantial portion—at least 80%—of its net assets (which includes any leveraged or borrowed funds) to various types of securitized debt instruments. This portfolio encompasses securities such as asset-backed securities (ABS), residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities (MBS), and collateralized loan obligations (CLOs).

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.
