First Trust Advisors L.P. (“First Trust”), a global ETF provider
and asset manager, announced that Chilean pension funds investment
risk rating commission, La Comisión Clasificadora de Riesgo (CCR),
has approved six additional First Trust ETFs for sale to Chilean
pension funds, known as la Asociación de Administradoras de Fondos
de Pensiones (AFPs). The CCR previously approved two First Trust
ETFs last year. According to Chile’s pension plan investment
guidelines, before an ETF can be purchased in a pension fund, it
must be approved by the CCR.
“We’re amazed and inspired by how our institutional clients in
Chile use our products and services to solve problems and develop
long-term strategies for investing on behalf of their clients,”
said Codie Sanchez-Baker, Head of Latin America and U.S. Offshore
Distribution at First Trust. “In an effort to continue to support
the Chilean AFPs in particular, we are thrilled to now have eight
ETFs available for Chilean pension managers to utilize as they help
their participants reach their investment goals.” The six newly
approved ETFs and two previously approved ETFs are listed
below.

Chile is one of the largest pension markets in the world with
total assets of $159 billion in 2015, according to Willis Towers
Watson. The AFPs’ strict methods for assessing risk and selecting
skilled investment professionals supports their sophisticated
pension system. “We hope these ETFs which span sectors, regions and
styles, will be innovative and relevant solutions for the markets
of today,” Sanchez-Baker said. “We have always been single minded
in our goal at First Trust to serve our clients and look forward to
continuing to do just that in Chile.”

You should consider each fund’s investment objectives, risks,
and charges and expenses carefully before investing. Contact First

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.
Investors buying or selling fund shares on the secondary market
may incur customary brokerage commissions. Market prices may differ
to some degree from the net asset value of the shares. 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 the fund by authorized
participants, in very large creation/redemption units.
A fund’s shares will change in value, and you could lose money
by investing in a fund. One of the principal risks of investing in
a fund is market risk. Market risk is the risk that a particular
stock owned by a fund, fund shares or stocks in general may fall in
value. There can be no assurance that the fund’s investment
objective will be achieved.
A fund may invest in small capitalization and mid capitalization
companies. Such companies may experience greater price volatility
than larger, more established companies. A fund may invest in
securities issued by companies concentrated in a particular
industry or sector which involves additional risks including
limited diversification.
The 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. is the advisor to the funds. First
Trust Advisors L.P. is an affiliate of First Trust Portfolios L.P.,
the funds’ distributor.
