Investment Objective/Strategy - The First Trust S&P 500 Diversified Dividend Aristocrats ETF (the "Fund") seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield (before the Fund's fees and expenses) of an equity index called the S&P 500 Sector-Neutral Dividend Aristocrats Index (the "Index"). Under normal conditions, the Fund will invest at least 90% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in the securities of the Index. The Fund, using an indexing investment approach, attempts to replicate, before fees and expenses, the total return performance of the Index, which includes dividends paid by the common stocks in the Index.
There can be no assurance that the Fund's investment objectives will be achieved.
