WIN Advisors Discloses Nearly 10% Ownership in First Trust ETF
WIN Advisors has taken a meaningful position in a First Trust exchange-traded product, acquiring 86,501 shares and bringing its stake to 9.6% of the outstanding class. The firm reported the holding in a Schedule 13G filed with the SEC.
The shares are fully under WIN Advisors’ control when it comes to disposition. They can sell or manage the stake at their discretion. But when it comes to voting rights, the firm holds none—neither directly nor through a shared arrangement.
The investment is held in the ordinary course of business. WIN Advisors isn’t acting on behalf of any other party, and the position wasn’t taken to influence the issuer or participate in any coordinated group activity.
The ETF in question falls under the First Trust Exchange-Traded Fund VI umbrella, part of a broader lineup known for its rules-based investment strategies. The fund is registered to First Trust’s headquarters in Wheaton, Illinois.
The filing was signed by WIN Advisors’ Chief Compliance Officer, Mary Therese Walsh, and dated August 18, 2025. Holdings were reported as of June 30.
This kind of disclosure matters for investment managers and institutional investors tracking fund flows and market participants. It signals a sizeable, passive interest that could affect liquidity, positioning, or even index rebalancing if the ETF is widely followed.
