Investment Objectives

The Fund will seek to replicate, to the extent possible, the performance of an index of U.S. companies that have devoted or have committed to devote, material resources to the research, development and application of fifth generation and next generation digital cellular technologies as they emerge, initially the Indxx 5G & NextG Thematic Index.

Investment Strategy

The investment strategy of each First Trust Index ETF is to invest in and hold, directly or indirectly, a proportionate share of the Constituent Securities of the applicable Index, or Other Securities, to seek to replicate the performance of such Index. The First Trust ETFs may also hold cash and cash equivalents or other money market instruments to fund current liabilities. The Manager may use a sampling methodology in selecting investments for the First Trust Index ETFs.
