Investment Objectives

The Fund will seek to replicate, to the extent possible, the performance of an index of U.S. listed companies designed to track the performance of clean energy companies engaged in manufacturing, development, distribution and installation of emerging clean-energy technologies including, but not limited to, solar photovoltaics, biofuels and advanced batteries, initially the NASDAQ® Clean Edge® Green Energy Index.

Investment Strategy

The investment strategy of each First Trust Index ETF is to invest in and hold, directly or indirectly, a proportionate share of the Constituent Securities of the applicable Index, or Other Securities, to seek to replicate the performance of such Index. The First Trust ETFs may also hold cash and cash equivalents or other money market instruments to fund current liabilities. The Manager may use a sampling methodology in selecting investments for the First Trust Index ETFs.
