ETF Characteristics
The fund lists and principally trades its shares on the NYSE Arca, Inc.
The fund’s return may not match the return of the Dow Jones Global Select Dividend Indexâ„ .
Securities held by the fund will generally not be bought or sold in response to market
fluctuations.
Investors buying or selling fund shares on the secondary market may incur customary
brokerage commissions.
Market prices may differ to some degree from the net asset value of the shares. Investors who sell fund shares may receive less than the share’s net asset value. Shares may be sold throughout the day on the exchange through any brokerage account. However, unlike mutual funds, shares may only be redeemed directly from the fund by authorized participants, in very large creation/redemption units. Risk Considerations The fund’s shares will change in value, and you could lose money by investing in the fund. One of the principal risks of investing in the fund is market risk.
Market risk is the risk that a particular stock owned by the fund, fund shares or stocks in general may fall in value. There can be no assurance that the fund’s investment objective will be achieved. The fund may invest in securities issued by companies concentrated in a particular industry or country. The fund may invest in small capitalization and mid capitalization companies.
Such companies may experience greater price volatility than larger, more established companies. An investment in a fund containing securities of non-U.S. issuers is subject to additional risks, including currency fluctuations, political risks, withholding, the lack of adequate ï¬nancial information, and exchange control restrictions impacting non-U.S. issuers.
The fund may invest in depositary receipts which may be less liquid than the underlying shares in their primary trading market. The fund is classiï¬ed as “non-diversiï¬ed” and may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers. As a result, the fund may be more susceptible to a single adverse economic or regulatory occurrence affecting one or more of these issuers, experience increased volatility and be highly concentrated in certain issuers. First Trust Advisors L.P. is the adviser to the fund.
First Trust Advisors L.P. is an affiliate of First Trust Portfolios L.P., the fund’s distributor. Deï¬nitions Standard Deviation is a measure of price variability (risk). Alpha is an indication of how much an investment outperforms or underperforms on a risk-adjusted basis relative to its benchmark.
Beta is a measure of price variability relative to the market. Sharpe Ratio is a measure of excess reward per unit of volatility. Correlation is a measure of the similarity of performance.
