First Trust Active Global Quality Income ETF ETF · First Trust Exchange-Traded Fund VIII
33 holdings · as of 2026-05-31 (4.4 months ago) The fund may have traded since. SEC Form N-PORT is filed quarterly and lags the period it covers, so these are the most recent holdings on file, not the fund’s holdings today.
This fund holds short positions, so exposure is counted gross — long and short both count as exposure rather than netting off, and the weights below therefore sum to 101% of net assets rather than 100%. Shares of the portfolio are shown as shares of that gross exposure.
NON-COMPLIANT 33.03% of portfolio weight is in non-compliant holdings, over the 5% threshold.
33 holdings, 31 matched (95% of weight). Portfolio as of 2026-05-31, filed 2026-07-23. Source: SEC Form N-PORT.
1.83% of this portfolio’s income is non-permissible — weighted across holdings, computed over 82% of portfolio weight (26 of 33 holdings). The common approach purifies that proportion of income received — dividends — not of the position’s value. We report the ratio; what to do with it is a question for your own scholar.

The published standards disagree about this fund by 17 points of portfolio weight — 61.7% of it passes AAOIFI, 44.6% passes MSCI Islamic. Which number is yours depends on which standard you follow.
These bars are the financial-ratio result under each standard — debt, receivables and interest income. They do not screen what the business does, so a holding can pass every ratio here and still be questionable or non-compliant on activity. The blended verdict above accounts for both.

31 of 33 listed holdings carry our own per-methodology verdicts (96% of weight). The rest hold a provider verdict with no methodology breakdown, and are counted as rated by none. Of those, 18 (56% of weight) also carry the underlying debt ratio; the rest show a verdict without the figure behind it.

Classic floor-trader pivots from the last completed daily bar. Highlighted pills are the levels bracketing the current price.
The range is measured volatility (ATR over the horizon), not a target — a wider band means a more volatile asset, not a stronger view. The direction is the indicator tally below. Every forecast is recorded when made and scored against the real price when it comes due, including the wrong ones. Not a recommendation, and not a fatwa.

Under normal market conditions, the fund seeks to invest primarily in income-producing equity securities. Such equity securities may include common stock, depositary receipts (including ADRs and GDRs), preferred securities and real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). It invests in U.S. and non-U.S. issuers and will typically invest at least 40% of its net assets in securities of issuers or companies that are economically tied to different countries throughout the world, excluding the United States. The fund is non-diversified.

The questions worth asking about any verdict on this page, answered plainly.
No. HTR reads the fund's filed holdings and screens each one, then reports the result by weight. A fund marketed as Islamic still gets the same look-through as any other.
It is the share of the fund whose holdings HTR cannot cover far enough to rate. It is reported as unrated rather than counted as compliant, because a holding nobody screened should not look like one that passed.
It matters, and it is noted, but it does not replace the look-through. The board's judgement and the holdings screen are shown separately so you can see when they agree and when they do not.
When the fund files new holdings, and on a rolling basis besides. The date on the verdict above is the last time this fund was actually recomputed.
Open research, not a fatwa. HTR applies published screening standards to filings and publishes what they say, including when they disagree. Nothing here is financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell. Verdicts can change when new filings land.
Same screen, different answers. Comparison is where the standards disagreeing becomes useful rather than confusing.
