*There is no guarantee the issuers of the securities included in the trust will declare dividends or distributions
in the future. The historical 12-month distribution per unit and historical 12-month distribution rate of
the securities included in the trust are for illustrative purposes only and are not indicative of the trust’s
distribution or distribution rate. The historical 12-month distribution per unit is based on the weighted
average of the trailing 12-month distributions paid by the securities included in the portfolio. The historical
12-month distribution rate is calculated by dividing the historical 12-month distributions by the trust’s
offering price. The historical 12-month distribution and rate are reduced to account for the effects of fees
and expenses, which will be incurred when investing in a trust. Distributions may include realized short
term capital gains, realized long-term capital gains and/or return of capital. Certain of the issuers may have
reduced their dividends or distributions over the prior 12 months. The distribution per unit and rate paid by
the trust may be higher or lower than the amount shown above due to certain factors that may include, but
are not limited to, a change in the dividends or distributions paid by issuers, actual expenses incurred, or the
sale of securities in the portfolio.

^Although not actual trust operating expenses, the trust, and therefore unit holders, will indirectly bear
similar operating expenses of the funds in which the trust invests. These expenses are estimated and are
subject to change in the future.
The deferred sales charge will be deducted in three monthly installments commencing 1/17/25. When
the public offering price is less than or equal to $10.00 per unit, there will be no initial sales charge. If the
price exceeds $10.00 per unit, you will pay an initial sales charge. The C&D fee is a charge of $0.050 per unit
collected at the end of the initial offering period. If the price you pay exceeds $10.00 per unit, the C&D fee
will be less than 0.50%; if the price you pay is less than $10.00 per unit, the C&D fee will exceed 0.50%.
Estimated organization costs will be deducted from the assets of the trust at the end of the initial offering
period. Estimated organization costs and trust operating expenses are assessed on a fixed dollar amount per
unit basis which, as a percentage of average net assets, will vary over time. Actual expenses may be more or
less than the estimates. Please see “Fee Table” in the trust prospectus for additional information.
You should consider the portfolio's investment objectives, risks, and
charges and expenses carefully before investing. Contact your financial professional
or call First Trust Portfolios L.P. at 1.800.621.1675 to request a prospectus,
which contains this and other information about the portfolio. Read it carefully
before you invest.
Risk Considerations
An investment in this unmanaged unit investment trust should be made with an understanding of the risks involved with owning ETFs which invest in common stocks and taxable bonds.
ETFs are subject to various risks, including management’s ability
to meet the fund’s investment objective, and to manage the fund’s
portfolio when the underlying securities are redeemed or sold, during
periods of market turmoil and as investors’ perceptions regarding ETFs
or their underlying investments change. Unlike open-end funds, which
trade at prices based on a current determination of the fund’s net asset
value, ETFs frequently trade at a discount from their net asset value in
the secondary market.
Common stocks are subject to certain risks, such as an economic recession and the possible deterioration of either the financial condition of the issuers of the equity securities or the general condition of the stock market.
Investment grade securities are subject to numerous risks including higher interest rates, economic recession, deterioration of the investment grade market or investors’ perception thereof, possible downgrades and defaults
of interest and/or principal.
Rising interest rates tend to extend the duration of mortgage-backed securities, making them more sensitive to changes in interest rates, and may reduce the market value of the securities. In addition, mortgage-backed
securities are subject to prepayment risk, the risk that borrowers may pay off their mortgages sooner than expected, particularly when interest rates decline.
U.S. Treasury obligations are subject to numerous risks
including higher interest rates, economic recession and deterioration of the bond market or investors’
perceptions thereof.
Securities of non-U.S. issuers are 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.
As the use of Internet technology has become more prevalent in the course of business, the trust has become more susceptible to potential operational risks through breaches in cybersecurity.
Ongoing armed conflicts between Russia and Ukraine in Europe and among Israel, Hamas and other militant
groups in the Middle East have caused and could continue to cause significant market disruptions and volatility
within the markets in Russia, Europe, the Middle East and the United States. The hostilities and sanctions
resulting from those hostilities could have a significant impact on certain investments as well as performance.
The ongoing effects of the COVID-19 global pandemic, or the potential impacts of any future public health crisis, may cause significant volatility and uncertainty in global financial markets. While vaccines have been developed, there is no guarantee that vaccines will be effective against future variants of the disease.
The value of the securities held by the trust may be subject to steep declines or increased volatility due to changes in performance or perception of the issuers.
It is important to note that an investment can be made in the underlying funds directly rather than through the trust. These direct investments can be made without paying the trust’s sales charge, operating expenses and
organizational costs.
This UIT is a buy and hold strategy and investors should consider their ability to hold the trust until maturity. There may be tax consequences unless units are purchased in an IRA or other qualified plan.
For a discussion of additional risks of investing in the trust see the “Risk Factors” section of the prospectus.
