The First Trust Long Duration Opportunities ETF (LGOV) is an exchange-traded fund that primarily invests in U.S. government-related debt securities. Under normal market conditions, it allocates at least 80% of its net assets to investment-grade debt issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies, or government-sponsored entities (GSEs), including Treasury securities and mortgage-related securities. The fund may also gain exposure through other ETFs that focus on these same types of securities.
As a long-duration bond ETF, LGOV is structured to hold securities with longer maturities, making it more sensitive to interest rate movements than shorter-duration fixed-income funds. Its focus on government and agency-backed debt positions it within the low-credit-risk segment of the bond market, with mortgage-related holdings typically tied to issuers such as Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac.
