FTA is a federally registered investment advisor and serves as
the Funds’ investment advisor. FTA and its affiliate First Trust
Portfolios L.P. ("FTP"), a FINRA registered broker-dealer, are
privately-held companies that provide a variety of investment
services. FTA has collective assets under management or supervision
of approximately $126 billion as of May 31, 2018 through unit
investment trusts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, mutual
funds and separate managed accounts. FTA is the supervisor of the
First Trust unit investment trusts, while FTP is the sponsor. FTP
is also a distributor of mutual fund shares and exchange-traded
fund creation units. FTA and FTP are based in Wheaton,
Illinois.
You should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges
and expenses of a Fund before investing. Prospectuses for the Funds
contain this and other important information and are available free
of charge by calling toll-free at 1-800-621-1675 or visiting
www.ftportfolios.com. A prospectus should be read
carefully before investing.
Past performance is no assurance of future results. Investment
return and market value of an investment in a Fund will fluctuate.
Shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original
cost.
Principal Risk Factors: A Fund's shares will change in value,
and you could lose money by investing in a Fund. An investment in a
Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental
agency. There can be no assurance that a Fund's investment
objectives will be achieved. An investment in a Fund involves risks
similar to those of investing in any portfolio of equity securities
traded on exchanges. The risks of investing in each Fund are
spelled out in its prospectus, shareholder report, and other
regulatory filings.
An Index ETF seeks investment results that correspond generally
to the price and yield of an index. You should anticipate that the
value of an Index Fund's shares will decline, more or less, in
correlation with any decline in the value of the index. An Index
Fund's return may not match the return of the index. Unlike a Fund,
the indices do not actually hold a portfolio of securities and
therefore do not incur the expenses incurred by a Fund.
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 a Fund's
net asset value and possibly face delisting.
One of the principal risks of investing in a Fund is market
risk. Market risk is the risk that a particular security owned by a
Fund, Fund shares or securities in general may fall in value.
An actively managed ETF is subject to management risk because it
is an actively managed portfolio. In managing such a Fund's
investment portfolio, the portfolio managers, management teams,
advisor or sub-advisor, will apply investment techniques and risk
analyses that may not have the desired result.
A Fund that is concentrated in securities of companies in a
certain sector or industry involves additional risks, including
limited diversification. An investment in a Fund concentrated in a
single country or region may be subject to greater risks of adverse
events and may experience greater volatility than a Fund that is
more broadly diversified geographically.
Certain Funds may invest in small-capitalization and
mid-capitalization companies. Such companies may experience greater
price volatility than larger, more established companies.
An investment in a Fund containing securities of non-U.S.
issuers is subject to additional risks, including currency
fluctuations, political risks, withholding, the lack of adequate
financial information, and exchange control restrictions impacting
non-U.S. issuers. These risks may be heightened for securities of
companies located in, or with significant operations in, emerging
market countries. A Fund may invest in depositary receipts which
may be less liquid than the underlying shares in their primary
trading market.
Investments in sovereign bonds involve special risks because the
governmental authority that controls the repayment of the debt may
be unwilling or unable to repay the principal and/or interest when
due. In times of economic uncertainty, the prices of these
securities may be more volatile than those of corporate debt
obligations or of other government debt obligations.
A Fund that invests in the European region is subject to certain
risks because member states in the European Union no longer control
their own monetary policies, money supply and official interest
rates for the Euro. Rather, such control is exercised by the
European Central Bank.
Certain securities held by certain of the Funds are subject to
credit risk, call risk, income risk, interest rate risk, prepayment
risk, and zero coupon risk. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer
of a security will be unable or unwilling to make dividend,
interest and/or principal payments when due and that the value of a
security may decline as a result. Credit risk is heightened for
floating-rate loans and high-yield securities. Call risk is the
risk that if an issuer calls higher-yielding debt instruments held
by a Fund, performance could be adversely impacted. Income risk is
the risk that income from a Fund's fixed-income investments could
decline during periods of falling interest rates. Interest rate
risk is the risk that the value of the fixed-income securities in a
Fund will decline because of rising market interest rates.
Prepayment risk is the risk that during periods of falling interest
rates, an issuer may exercise its right to pay principal on an
obligation earlier than expected. This may result in a decline in a
Fund's income. Zero coupon risk is the risk that zero coupon bonds
may be highly volatile as interest rates rise or fall.
Senior floating-rate loans are usually rated below investment
grade but may also be unrated. As a result, the risks associated
with these loans are similar to the risks of high-yield fixed
income instruments. High-yield securities, or "junk" bonds, are
subject to greater market fluctuations and risk of loss than
securities with higher ratings, and therefore, may be highly
speculative. These securities are issued by companies that may have
limited operating history, narrowly focused operations, and/or
other impediments to the timely payment of periodic interest and
principal at maturity. The market for high-yield securities is
smaller and less liquid than that for investment grade
securities.
Income from municipal bonds held by a Fund could be declared
taxable because of, among other things, unfavorable changes in tax
laws, adverse interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service or
state tax authorities, or noncompliant conduct of a bond issuer.
Income from municipal bonds held by a Fund may be subject to the
federal alternative minimum income tax.
Convertible securities have characteristics of both equity and
debt securities and, as a result, are exposed to certain additional
risks. The values of certain synthetic convertible securities will
respond differently to market fluctuations than a traditional
convertible security because such synthetic convertibles are
composed of two or more separate securities or instruments, each
with its own market value. A Fund is subject to the credit risk
associated with the counterparty creating the synthetic convertible
instrument. Synthetic convertible securities may also be subject to
the risks associated with derivatives.
Exchange-traded notes (“ETNs”) are senior, unsecured,
unsubordinated debt securities whose returns are linked to the
performance of a particular market benchmark or strategy minus
applicable fees. The value of an ETN may be influenced by various
factors.
Real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and real estate
operating companies (“REOCs”) are subject to certain risks,
including changes in the real estate market, vacancy rates and
competition, volatile interest rates and economic recession.
Master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) are subject to certain
risks, including price and supply fluctuations caused by
international politics, energy conservation, taxes, price controls,
and other regulatory policies of various governments. In addition,
there is the risk that an MLP could be taxed as a corporation,
resulting in decreased returns from such MLP.
Blockchain technology is an entirely new and relatively untested
technology and may never be implemented to a scale that provides
identifiable economic benefit to the companies included in a
blockchain index. Blockchain systems could be vulnerable to fraud.
There is little regulation of blockchain technology and because
blockchain technology systems may operate across many national
boundaries and regulatory jurisdictions, it is possible that it may
be subject to widespread and inconsistent regulation. The values of
the companies included in a blockchain index may not be a
reflection of their connection to blockchain technology, but may be
based on other business operations. Currently, blockchain
technology is primarily used for the recording of transactions in
digital currency, which are extremely speculative, unregulated and
volatile. Because digital assets registered in a blockchain do not
have a standardized exchange, like a stock market, there is less
liquidity for such assets and greater possibility of fraud or
manipulation.
A Fund may invest in robotics and artificial intelligence
companies, which may have limited product lines, markets, financial
resources or personnel and are subject to the risks of changes in
business cycles, world economic growth, technological progress, and
government regulation. These companies are also heavily dependent
on intellectual property rights, and challenges to or
misappropriation of such rights could have a material adverse
effect on such companies. Securities of robotics and artificial
intelligence companies tend to be more volatile than securities of
companies that rely less heavily on technology. Robotics and
artificial intelligence companies typically engage in significant
amounts of spending on research and development, and rapid changes
to the field could have a material adverse effect on a company's
operating results.
The use of futures, options, and other derivatives can lead to
losses because of adverse movements in the price or value of the
underlying asset, index or rate, which may be magnified by certain
features of the derivatives. These risks are heightened when a
Fund's portfolio managers use derivatives to enhance a Fund's
return or as a substitute for a position or security, rather than
solely to hedge (or offset) the risk of a position or security held
by a Fund.
The stocks of companies that have recently conducted an initial
public offering have exhibited above-average price appreciation in
connection with the initial public offering prior to inclusion in a
Fund, which may not continue, and these investments may be subject
to additional risks, price volatility and speculative trading.
A Fund may effect a portion of creations and redemptions for
cash, rather than in-kind securities. As a result, an investment in
a Fund may be less tax-efficient than an investment in an
exchange-traded fund that effects its creations and redemptions for
in-kind securities.
Commodity futures contracts traded on non-U.S. exchanges or with
non-U.S. counterparties present risks because they may not be
subject to the same degree of regulation as their U.S.
counterparts.
A Fund's investment in repurchase agreements may be subject to
market and credit risk with respect to the collateral securing the
repurchase agreements.
Alternative investments may employ complex strategies, have
unique investment and risk characteristics and may not be suitable
for all investors.
Certain Funds may invest in other investment companies,
including closed-end funds (“CEFs”), ETFs and affiliated ETFs,
which involves additional expenses that would not be present in a
direct investment in the underlying funds. In addition, a Fund's
investment performance and risks may be related to the investment
and performance of the underlying funds.
A Fund may invest in U.S. government obligations. U.S. Treasury
obligations are backed by the "full faith and credit" of the U.S.
government. Securities issued or guaranteed by federal agencies and
U.S. government sponsored instrumentalities may or may not be
backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
Short selling creates special risks which could result in
increased volatility of returns. In times of unusual or adverse
market, economic, regulatory or political conditions, a Fund may
not be able, fully or partially, to implement its short selling
strategy.
Certain Funds may invest in distressed securities, and many
distressed securities are illiquid or trade in low volumes and thus
may be more difficult to value. Illiquid securities involve the
risk that the securities will not be able to be sold at the time
desired by the Fund or at prices approximately the value at which
the Fund is carrying the securities on its books.
Because the shares of CEFs cannot be redeemed upon demand,
shares of many CEFs will trade on exchanges at market prices rather
than net asset value, which may cause the shares to trade at a
price greater than the net asset value (“NAV”) (premium) or less
than NAV (discount). There can be no assurance that the market
discount on shares of any CEF purchased by a Fund will ever
decrease or that when a Fund seeks to sell shares of a CEF, it can
receive the NAV for those shares. A Fund may also be exposed to
higher volatility in the market due to indirect use of leverage
through its investment in CEFs. CEFs may issue senior securities in
an attempt to enhance returns.
Certain Funds are classified as "non-diversified" and may invest
a relatively high percentage of its assets in a limited number of
issuers. As a result, the Fund 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.
Certain Funds have fewer assets than larger, more established
funds, and like other relatively new funds, large inflows and
outflows may impact such Funds' market exposure for limited periods
of time.
