Trust seeks above-average capital appreciation by investing in a diversified portfolio of equity ETFs advised by First Trust Advisors
L.P., an affiliate of the Trust&#x2019;s Sponsor. Under normal circumstances, the Trust will invest at least 80% of its assets in ETFs
which invest at least 80% of their assets in equity securities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: bold 11pt/12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 4pt 0 1pt"&gt;Portfolio Selection Process.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 1pt; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;The
Trust is a unit investment trust which seeks to provide broad equity diversification by investing approximately 70% in approximately ten
First Trust&lt;sup&gt;&#xae;&lt;/sup&gt; ETFs that invest in common stocks across all market capitalizations, across all MSCI GICS&lt;sup&gt;&#xae; &lt;/sup&gt;sectors,
and U.S. and non-U.S. companies. The remaining approximately 30% of the portfolio invests in approximately seven narrowly focused First
Trust&lt;sup&gt;&#xae;&lt;/sup&gt; ETFs that invest in common stocks across various market capitalizations of internet, artificial intelligence, health
care, financials, industrials, communication services and information technology companies, which we believe will outperform the overall
market over the life of the Trust. The ETFs included in the portfolio are selected by the First Trust Advisors Model Investment Committee
through a dynamic approach based on the following factors: the size and liquidity of the ETF (requiring a minimum market capitalization
of $50,000,000 and at least 6 months of trading history) and the expense ratio of the ETF (prioritizing ETFs with lower expense ratios),
while attempting to limit the overlap of the securities held by the ETFs. The Trust&#x2019;s portfolio may include both actively managed
ETFs and ETFs that track an index. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 2pt; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;In
connection with the Trust&#x2019;s investments in ETFs advised by First Trust Advisors L.P., an affiliate of the Trust&#x2019;s Sponsor,
First Trust Advisors L.P. will receive advisory fees from the underlying ETFs which it would not otherwise receive if the Trust invested
solely in ETFs advised by unaffiliated third-parties. This may provide an incentive for the Sponsor to select ETFs advised by First Trust
Advisors L.P. over ETFs advised by unaffiliated third-parties. &lt;/span&gt;The Sponsor may invest in an affiliated ETF even in circumstances
where an unaffiliated ETF may have lower fees or better performance over certain time periods. &lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;However,
the Sponsor selected what it considered to be the best suited ETFs to achieve the Trust&#x2019;s investment objectives even though there
may be other ETFs, including those advised by unaffiliated third-parties, that provide similar results.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;While not
a part of the Trust&#x2019;s portfolio selection process, &lt;/span&gt;the Trust has exposure to depositary receipts through the Trust&#x2019;s
investment in the Funds.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 2pt; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;As
with any similar investments, there can be no guarantee that the objective of the Trust will be achieved. See &#x201c;Risk Factors&#x201d;
for a discussion of the risks of investing in the Trust.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
