Investment Objectives

The Fund will seek to replicate, to the extent possible, the performance of an index of U.S. companies that have shown dividend consistency and dividend sustainability, initially the Morningstar® Dividend Leaders Index.

Investment Strategy

According to the Index Provider, the Morningstar® Dividend Leaders Index (the “Morningstar Index”) is designed to measure the performance of the 100 highest-yielding stocks that have a consistent record of dividend payment and have the ability to sustain their dividend payments. The securities comprising the Morningstar US Market Index (the “Base Index”) serve as a First Trust ETF’s selection universe.
