First Trust Ownership

Some institutional investors establish a significant position in etfs such as First Trust in order to find ways to drive up its value. Retail investors, on the other hand, need to know that institutional holders can own millions of shares of First Trust, and when they decide to sell, the etf will often sell-off, which may instantly impact shareholders' value. So, traders who get in early or near the beginning of the institutional investor's buying cycle could potentially generate profits. Check out Investing Opportunities to better understand how to build diversified portfolios, which includes a position in First Trust FTSE. Also, note that the market value of any etf could be closely tied with the direction of predictive economic indicators such as signals in board of governors.
