The Abacus FCF Real Assets Leaders ETF (ABLD) primarily invests in U.S.-domiciled companies across all market capitalizations that are engaged in the real assets industry. This category includes businesses involved in real estate, infrastructure, commodities, and natural resources. Potential holdings are fundamentally evaluated for their ability to generate profits and pay dividends, specifically scrutinizing (1) the quality of their earnings, (2) their free cash flow generation, and (3) their dividend yield. Only those equities that fall within the top 25% of this scored universe are considered for selection. A target weight is assigned to each chosen security based on a combination of these three factors and its market capitalization. The index then selects up to 75 stocks, or continues inclusion until 90% of the cumulative portfolio weight has been reached, whichever occurs first. To potentially maximize gains, the fund may also employ derivative instruments. The index is subject to quarterly rebalancing and reconstitution. Before November 13, 2024, this fund was named the Donoghue Forlines Yield Enhanced Real Asset ETF and traded as DFRA. ### What is the expense ratio of ABLD?

On a $10,000 investment compounding at 7% gross return, a 0.59% expense ratio quietly compounds against your balance every year. The Fee Compounding Forecast card above projects the dollar drag for any holding period and assumption you pick. The typical result for a 1.0% expense ratio on a 30-year hold is roughly 25% of the final balance lost to fees. ### How does ABLD charge its expense ratio? The expense ratio is deducted in tiny daily slices from ABLD's net asset value (NAV). You never see a bill. The price quoted on every exchange is already net of fees. There's no "fee day" to avoid; the cost is continuous and built into the trading price. ### Why does ABLD cost more than a fund like VOO? ABLD's strategy (current expense ratio 0.59%) is different from a broad-market index tracker like VOO, so its fee belongs to a different cohort. The Cost Verdict card above shows you where ABLD sits within its own category, which is the comparison that actually matters. ### Are there cheaper alternatives to ABLD? The Lower-Fee Alternatives card above lists ETFs following the same investment strategy as ABLD (0.59%) but at a lower expense ratio. Each row shows the fee gap, the peer's AUM as a liquidity sanity-check, and a direct link to that fund's analysis page. Cheaper price doesn't automatically mean better.
