The First Trust Dow 30 Equal Weight ETF seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield (before fees and expenses) of an equity index called the Dow Jones Industrial Average Equal Weight Index (the "Index"). The Fund will normally invest at least 90% of its net assets (including investment borrowings) in common stocks that comprise the Index. The Fund, using an "indexing" investment approach, attempts to replicate, before fees and expenses, the performance of the Index. The Fund's investment advisor seeks a correlation of 0.95 or better (before fees and expenses) between the Fund's performance and the performance of the Index; a figure of 1.00 would represent perfect correlation.
