About this ETF
The First Trust Asia Pacific ex-Japan AlphaDEX Fund, an exchange-traded fund (ETF), has the primary goal of replicating the investment performance – specifically, the price appreciation and income yield – of a designated equity benchmark. This benchmark is known as the Nasdaq AlphaDEX Asia Pacific Ex-Japan Index. The fund's objective is to achieve these results before any of its own fees and expenses are factored in.

Latest News for FPA
No articles mention this fund directly in the last 7 days — showing general ETF coverage.
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.
