^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 12/20/24. 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 an investment in a portfolio of common stocks and ETPs.
ETPs 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 ETPs
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, ETPs 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.
You should be aware that an investment that is concentrated in
stocks of precious metals companies in the materials sector involves
additional risks, including limited diversification. Companies in the
precious metals industry are subject to risks associated with the
exploration, development, and production of precious metals including
competition for land, difficulties in obtaining required governmental
approval to mine land, inability to raise adequate capital, increases
in production costs and political unrest in nations where sources of
precious metals are located. In addition, the price of gold and other
precious metals is subject to wide fluctuations and may be influenced
by limited markets, fabricator demand, expected inflation, return on
assets, central bank demand and availability of substitutes.
Companies involved in metals and mining can be significantly
affected by events relating to international political and economic
developments, energy conservation, the success of exploration
projects, commodity prices, and tax and other government regulations.
Investments in these companies may be speculative and may be
subject to greater price volatility than investments in other types of
companies. Risks of investing in these companies may include: changes
in international monetary policies or economic and political conditions
that can affect the supply of precious metals and consequently the
value of metals and mining company investments; the U.S. or foreign
governments may pass laws or regulations limiting metals investments
for strategic or other policy reasons; and increased environmental or
labor costs may depress the value of metals and mining investments.
Commodity prices are subject to several factors including, price and
supply fluctuations, excess capacity, economic recession, domestic and
international politics, government regulations, volatile interest rates,
consumer spending trends and overall capital spending levels.
Certain funds held by the trust rely on custodians for the safekeeping
of commodities. Failure by a custodian to safekeep the commodities
could result in a loss to a fund. In addition, a custodian may not carry
adequate insurance to cover claims against it which could adversely
affect the value of a fund’s assets, and in turn the value of the trust.
Because the portfolio is concentrated in companies headquartered, or
with a significant presence, in Canada, the portfolio may present more
risks than a portfolio which is broadly diversified over several regions.
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. Risks associated with investing in non-U.S. securities may be more pronounced in emerging markets where the securities markets are substantially smaller, less developed, less liquid, less regulated, and more volatile than the U.S. and developed non-U.S. markets.
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.
