First Trust Developed Markets ex-US AlphaDEX Fund is an open-end management investment company. The Fund seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield (before the Fund's fees and expenses) of an equity index called the Defined Developed Markets Ex-US Index (the Index). The Index employs the AlphaDEX stock selection methodology which uses fundamental growth and value factors to objectively select stocks from the S&P Developed Markets Ex-US BMI Index which may generate positive alpha relative to traditional passive indices. As of Dec 31 2013, the Fund's total assets were $152,051,769 and the Fund's investment portfolio was valued at $151,877,424. The FKO average annual return 10 years is shown above.
The Average Annual Return on the FKO average annual return 10 years page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the annualized return over the past ten years (or specified start date) for a given investment
(up to the end of prior trading session recorded). Arguably, choosing ten years for a measurement
period is on the one hand completely arbitrary, but on the other hand provides a sufficiently long window
to capture long-term trends.
Thus, researching Average Annual Returns is good practice for investors — whether FKO average annual return 10 years or other benchmarks/peers
— and when doing so it is also important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's annualized return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon. Our website aims to empower investors
by performing the FKO average annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
