Profile

First Trust Bloomberg R&D Leaders ETF is an exchange-traded fund that focuses on U.S. companies with strong research and development activity.

The fund offers diversified equity exposure across technology, healthcare, consumer, industrial, and communication-related businesses, with holdings that are selected and weighted according to index rules rather than active stock picking. First Trust Bloomberg R&D Leaders ETF is designed for investors who want targeted exposure to companies that emphasize innovation, product development, and long-term business reinvestment within the U.S. equity market.
