2023 Estimated Capital Gain Distributions
Please note that none of our First Trust Exchange-Traded Funds are expected to pay a special long-term capital gain distribution in December. Also, none of the First Trust Exchange-Traded Funds are expected to pay any special short-term capital gain distributions in December. Final determination of the source and tax status of all distributions paid in the current year are to be made after year-end and could differ from the expectations noted above.
Investment Objective/Strategy - The First Trust Core Investment Grade ETF (the "Fund") seeks to maximize long-term total return. Under normal market conditions, the Fund seeks to invest 100% of its Investment Portfolio in investment grade securities. Investment grade securities are those securities that are, at the time of purchase, rated as investment grade (i.e., rated Baa3/BBB- or above) by at least one nationally recognized statistical rating organization ("NRSRO") rating such securities, or if unrated, debt securities determined by the Fund's investment advisor to be of comparable quality. The Fund's Investment Portfolio includes only investment grade securities purchased by the Fund's portfolio managers (the "Investment Portfolio") and does not include uninvested cash or any other Fund asset unconnected to the Fund's intended portfolio, including, but not limited to, accounts receivable or assets received as part of an issuer workout.
There can be no assurance that the Fund's investment objectives will be achieved.
