Investment Objective/Strategy - The First Trust US Equity Opportunities ETF (the "Fund"), formerly First Trust US IPO Index Fund, seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield (before the Fund's fees and expenses) of an equity index called the IPOX®-100 U.S. Index. The Fund will normally invest at least 90% of its net assets (including investment borrowings) in the common stocks that comprise the Index.
There can be no assurance that the Fund's investment objectives will be achieved.
- The IPOX®-100 U.S. Index seeks exposure to 100 of the largest, most liquid and best performing U.S. companies that have recently gone public, including initial public offerings (“IPOs”) and spin-offs, as well as select acquirers of recent IPOs.
- The index is based on the IPOX® U.S. Composite Index, which is a market-cap weighted index measuring the performance of all newly public U.S. listed companies during their first 1000 trading days, subject to meeting initial listings characteristics.
- The index applies a 10% capping on all constituents and is reconstituted and rebalanced on a quarterly basis.
Potential Benefits of the First Trust US Equity Opportunities ETF
- Systematic exposure to U.S. equity capital markets, semi active activity and the growth and innovativeness of the U.S. economy via a semi-passive indexing approach.
- Based on a proven, disciplined and transparent index methodology. The IPOX®-100 U.S. Index has historically captured around 85% of all total market capitalization created through U.S. IPO and spin-off activity during the past four years. Core position in large-cap stocks with tilt towards mid- and small-cap stocks.
- Innovative investment tool for various market participants, including buy-and-hold investors seeking timely and systematic exposure to newly listed companies as well as active market participants due to dynamic index properties and limited overlap with benchmarks.
- High correlation to Private Markets Returns, including Private Equity, Venture Capital and pre-IPO.
