Investment objective & strategy

As of Jan. 28, 2026 · prospectus

Objective. The First Trust Dorsey Wright Momentum & Value ETF (the Fund ) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield (before the Funds fees and expenses) of an index called the Dorsey Wright Momentum Plus Value TM Index (the Index ).

Strategy. Under normal conditions, the Fund will invest at least 90% of its net assets (including investment borrowings) in the securities that comprise the Index. The Fund, using an indexing investment approach, attempts to replicate, before fees and expenses, the performance of the Index. The Index is owned and was developed by Nasdaq, Inc. (the Index Provider ). The Index Provider may, from time to time, exercise reasonable discretion as it deems appropriate in order to ensure Index integrity including, but not limited to, quantitative inclusion criteria. The Index Provider may also, due to special circumstances, if deemed essential, apply discretionary adjustments to ensure and maintain the high quality of the Index construction and calculation.

The Fund, using an indexing investment approach, attempts to replicate, before fees and expenses, the performance of the Index. The Index is owned and was developed by Nasdaq, Inc. (the Index Provider ). The Index Provider may, from time to time, exercise reasonable discretion as it deems appropriate in order to ensure Index integrity including, but not limited to, quantitative inclusion criteria. The Index Provider may also, due to special circumstances, if deemed essential, apply discretionary adjustments to ensure and maintain the high quality of the Index construction and calculation. According to the Index Provider, the Index is comprised of securities selected based on individual stock momentum and value. In order to be eligible for inclusion in the Index, securities must meet the eligibility criteria of and be included in the Nasdaq US Large Mid Cap TM Index. A security must also meet the liquidity requirements of the Index in order to be eligible for inclusion in the Index. Securities from the same issuer will be subject to conditions controlled by the Index Provider to determine Index eligibility . All securities in the Index universe are ranked using a proprietary relative strength (momentum) measure. Each securitys score is based on intermediate and long term price movements relative to a representative market benchmark. A securitys momentum is the rate at which its price is accelerating. Momentum investing strategies are based on the principle that securities that have recently risen or fallen in price will continue that trend and that, when evaluating two indices/securities, the index/security exhibiting the greater momentum will perform better. According to the Index Provider, eligible securities based on the proprietary relative strength analysis described above are individually ranked on four value metrics: (1) price-to-sales ratio; (2) price-to-book ratio; (3) price-to-earnings ratio; and (4) price-to-cash flow ratio. Each metric is scored individually and given a percentile score. A combined value score is calculated by averaging the percentile scores for the individual metrics. A security must have values for a minimum of three of the four metrics. Any security with fewer than three scores is excluded. No penalty is given to securities having only three of the four metrics. The 50 securities with the highest combined value scores are selected for Index inclusion. Index security weights are determined by dividing each Index securitys value score by the sum of the value scores of all Index securities. The Index is reconstituted and rebalanced quarterly and the Fund will make corresponding changes to its portfolio shortly after the Index changes are made public. The Indexs quarterly rebalance and reconstitution schedule may cause the Fund to experience a higher rate of portfolio turnover. The Fund will be concentrated in an industry or a group of industries to the extent that the Index is so concentrated. As of December 31, 2025, the Fund had significant investments in financial companies, although this may change from time to time. The Funds investments will change as the Index changes and, as a result, the Fund may have significant investments in jurisdictions or investment sectors that it may not have had as of December 31, 2025. To the extent the Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in a given jurisdiction or investment sector, the Fund may be exposed to the risks associated with that jurisdiction or investment sector.
