First Trust Core Investment Grade ETF

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.
