prospectus should be read carefully before investing.
ETF Characteristics
Investors buying or selling fund shares on the secondary market
may incur customary brokerage commissions. Investors who sell fund
shares may receive less than the share’s net asset value. Shares
may be sold throughout the day on the exchange through any
brokerage account. However, unlike mutual funds, shares may only be
redeemed directly from a fund by authorized participants, in very
large creation/redemption units. If a fund's authorized
participants are unable to proceed with creation/redemption orders
and no other authorized participant is able to step forward to
create or redeem, fund shares may trade at a discount to the fund's
net asset value and possibly face delisting.
Risk Considerations
A fund’s shares will change in value, and you could lose money
by investing in a fund. There can be no assurance that a fund’s
investment objective will be achieved.
An index fund’s return may not match the return of the
applicable index. Securities held by an index fund will generally
not be bought or sold in response to market fluctuations.
A fund may invest in a concentrated portfolio which involves
additional risks including limited diversification.
A fund may invest in small capitalization and mid capitalization
companies. Such companies may experience greater price volatility
than larger companies.
A fund containing securities of non-U.S. issuers is subject to
additional risks as non-U.S. issuers are subject to higher
volatility than securities of U.S. issuers. Risks may be heightened
for securities of companies located in, or with significant
operations in, emerging market countries. Non-U.S. dollar
denominated securities may lose money if the local currency
depreciates against the U.S. dollar.
A fund may effect a portion of creations and redemptions for
cash, rather than in-kind securities. As a result, a fund may be
less tax-efficient.
Certain funds are classified as “non-diversified” and may invest
a relatively high percentage of their assets in a limited number of
issuers. As a result, the funds may be more susceptible to a single
adverse economic or regulatory occurrence affecting one or more of
these issuers, experience increased volatility and be highly
concentrated in certain issuers.
First Trust Advisors L.P. (FTA) is the adviser to the funds. FTA
is an affiliate of First Trust Portfolios L.P., the funds’
distributor.
First Trust Advisors L.P. is registered as a commodity pool
operator and commodity trading advisor and is also a member of the
National Futures Association.

risks depending on the fund’s investment objectives. For a complete
