| Investment Objective: |
The First Trust Enhanced Stocks, Bonds & Gold ETF (the "Fund") seeks to provide investors with long-term total return. The Fund is an actively managed ETF that seeks to achieve long-term total return by investing primarily in a portfolio of U.S. Treasury securities, cash and cash equivalents, and exchange-traded futures contracts that provide exposure to the following three asset classes: S&P 500 Index, intermediate U.S. Treasuries, and gold. The Fund does not invest directly in Gold Futures. The Fund gains exposure to Gold Futures exclusively by investing in the Subsidiary. In general, the Fund seeks to provide a portfolio with a notional exposure of approximately 210%. On a monthly basis, such exposure is to be divided approximately equally across the S&P 500 Index, intermediate U.S. Treasuries, and Gold Futures (i.e., the notional exposure of each underlying asset is expected to be approximately 70%). The Fund's exposure to intermediate U.S. Treasuries may be derived from direct investment in such U.S. Treasuries and/or from exchange-traded futures contracts that provide exposure to U.S. Treasuries. The Fund's collateral will be invested in U.S. Treasuries and/or cash and cash equivalents. |
