Fund Summary

Investment Objective/Strategy - First Trust ISE Global Wind Energy Index Fund is an exchange-traded fund. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield, before the Fund's fees and expenses, of an equity index called the ISE Global Wind Energy Index.

There can be no assurance that the Fund's investment objectives will be achieved.

This exchange-traded fund seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield (before the Fund's fees and expenses) of the ISE Global Wind Energy Index. The index is constructed as follows:

Companies in the index universe that are identified as providing goods and services exclusively to the wind energy industry are given an aggregate weight of 66.67% of the index.Those companies determined to be significant participants in the wind energy industry despite not being exclusive to such industry are given an aggregate weight of 33.33% of the index.This weighting is done to ensure that companies that are exclusive to the wind energy industry, which generally have smaller market capitalizations relative to their multi-industry counterparts, are adequately represented in the index.
The index uses a modified market capitalization weighted methodology for each group of companies. The methodology organizes the companies into quintiles based upon their market capitalization. The quintiles containing larger market capitalization companies receive a higher weight than those quintiles containing small market capitalization companies.The resulting weight distribution prevents a few large companies from dominating the index while allowing smaller companies to adequately influence index performance.The companies are equally-weighted within each quintile.
The component security must be actively engaged in some aspect of the wind energy industry such as the development or management of a wind farm, the production or distribution of electricity generated by wind power, involvement in the design, manufacture or distribution of machinery or materials designed specifically for the wind energy industry.
Each component security must have a market capitalization of at least $100 million and meet certain investability requirements.
The index is reconstituted and rebalanced semi-annually.

³	Most recent distribution paid or declared through today's date. Subject to change in the future.
⁴	30-day SEC yield is calculated by dividing the net investment income per share earned during the most recent 30-day period by the maximum offering price per share on the last day of the period.
⁵	12-Month Distribution Rate is calculated by dividing the sum of the fund's trailing 12-month ordinary distributions paid or declared by the NAV price. Distribution Rates May Vary.

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.

The fund may invest in small capitalization and mid capitalization companies. Such companies may experience greater price volatility than larger, more established companies.

The fund contains the securities of companies in the wind energy, utility and industrial sectors, among others. Companies in the industrials sector face risks that arise from the general state of the economy, intense competition, consolidation, domestic and international politics, excess capacity and consumer demand, spending trends in that they may be significantly affected by overall capital spending levels, economic cycles, technical obsolescence, delays in modernization, labor relations and government regulations.

Companies in the utilities sector may face the imposition of rate caps, increased competition due to deregulation, difficulty in obtaining an adequate return on invested capital or in financing large construction projects, the limitations on operations and increased costs and delays attributable to environmental considerations, and the risks associated with capital market's ability to absorb utility debt, taxes, government regulation, international politics, price and supply fluctuations and volatile interest rates.

Companies in the wind energy business can be significantly affected by obsolescence of existing technology, short product cycles, falling prices and profits, competition from new market entrants and general economic conditions. Shares of the companies involved in the wind energy business have been significantly more volatile than shares of companies operating in other more established businesses. This sector is relatively nascent and under-researched in comparison to more established and mature sectors, and should therefore be regarded as having greater investment risk. Because many wind energy companies have been newly created and are unseasoned, the shares of these companies may be considered to be speculative and subject to extreme volatility and a greatly increased risk of loss.

An investment in a fund containing equity securities of foreign issuers is subject to additional risks, including currency fluctuations, political risks, withholding, the lack of adequate financial information, and exchange control restrictions impacting foreign issuers.

The fund is classified as "non-diversified." A non-diversified fund generally may invest a larger percentage of its assets in the securities of a smaller number of issuers. As a result, the fund may be more susceptible to the risks associated with these particular companies, or to a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting these companies.

The First Trust ISE Global Wind Energy Index Fund is not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by the International Securities Exchange (ISE). ISE makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, to the owners of the fund or any member of the public regarding the advisability of trading in the fund. ISE's only relationship to First Trust is the licensing of certain trade names of the ISE and of the ISE Global Wind Energy Index which is determined, composed and calculated by ISE without regard to First Trust or the fund.
