The First Trust TCW Unconstrained Plus Bond ETF (UCON) is a nontraditional bond fund that, under normal market conditions, invests at least 80% of its net assets in a portfolio of fixed income securities. The fund employs an unconstrained approach, allowing its average portfolio duration to vary between 0 and 10 years, giving it flexibility to adjust interest-rate sensitivity based on market conditions. UCON may allocate a significant portion of its assets to securitized investment products, with exposure capped at 50% of net assets in each of asset-backed securities (ABS), residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS), and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS). Launched in 2018, UCON is structured as an exchange-traded fund, combining the active management style of an unconstrained bond strategy with the intraday liquidity and transparency of the ETF wrapper, and it is classified within the nontraditional bond category, which typically includes funds that deviate from standard bond index benchmarks.
