Introducing First Trust Dow Jones Internet UCITS ETF (“FDN”)

Investing in the Power of Ecommerce and the Internet


Fund description

The growth of internet technology – including social media, audio and visual streaming and online shopping for almost every industry – has demonstrated the immense potential future revenues that successful internet companies can generate. For investors to harness this potential, understanding the importance of the internet as an innovation, analysing its impact, and evaluating its ongoing potential for growth are vital for success.

The First Trust Dow Jones Internet UCITS ETF (“FDN”) gives investors cost-effective access to this potential. Through investments in companies that derive the majority of their revenue from the internet, it offers the opportunity to unlock the revenue opportunities from one of the key thematic trends in the global economy, in a single portfolio.

The fund is based on the Dow Jones Internet Composite IndexSM. The index is designed to measure the performance of the 40 largest and most actively-traded, US-based internet companies. This includes the familiar FANG giants (Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and Google), but goes beyond these to find lesser-known opportunities with huge potential in a portfolio that provides pure exposure to internet investments.
