About this ETF
The FT Confluence BDC & Specialty Finance Income ETF (FBDC) primarily targets a significant level of ongoing income. Its secondary objective is to achieve an attractive overall return. Under typical market conditions, the Fund will commit a minimum of 80% of its net assets (including any funds borrowed for investment) to a selection of securities from Business Development Companies (BDCs) and other specialized financial entities. These are chosen by Confluence Investment Management LLC, the Fund's investment sub-advisor, because they are believed to present compelling opportunities for both income generation and capital appreciation.

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.
