Trust seeks current monthly income, with capital appreciation as a secondary objective. Under normal market conditions, the Trust will
invest at least 80% of its assets in Target Outcome ETFs (as defined below) or Target Income ETFs (as defined below).&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/10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 2pt; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;The
Trust seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in two groups of ETFs: (1) a laddered portfolio of First Trust target outcome
buffer ETFs (&#x201c;Target Outcome ETFs&#x201d;), which seek to provide investors with returns (before fees and expenses) that match the
price return of State Street&lt;sup&gt;&#xae;&lt;/sup&gt; SPDR&lt;sup&gt;&#xae;&lt;/sup&gt; S&amp;amp;P 500&lt;sup&gt;&#xae;&lt;/sup&gt; ETF Trust (&#x201c;SPY&#x201d; or the &#x201c;Underlying
Reference Asset&#x201d;) up to a predetermined upside cap, while providing a buffer (before fees and expenses) against the first 10% of
losses of SPY over a defined one-year period (the &#x201c;Target Outcome Period&#x201d;); and (2) First Trust target income ETFs (&#x201c;Target
Income ETFs&#x201d;), which provide exposure to either equity or fixed income securities and employ an options overwrite strategy to generate
income. The portfolio consists solely of First Trust ETFs advised by First Trust Advisors L.P., an affiliate of the Trust&#x2019;s Sponsor.
The Trust&#x2019;s portfolio will include both actively managed ETFs and ETFs that track an index.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 2pt; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 2pt; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;The
laddered Target Outcome ETFs will constitute approximately 33% of the Trust&#x2019;s portfolio. The term &#x201c;laddered portfolio&#x201d;
refers to the Trust&#x2019;s investment in multiple Target Outcome ETFs that have target outcome period expiration dates which occur on
a rolling, or periodic, basis. The rolling or &#x201c;laddered&#x201d; nature of the investments in the Target Outcome ETFs creates diversification
of investment time period compared to the risk of acquiring or disposing of any one Target Outcome ETF at any one time. If a Target Outcome
ETF has experienced certain levels of either gains or losses since the beginning of its current Target Outcome Period, there may be little
to no ability for the Trust to achieve gains or benefit from the buffer for the remainder of the Target Outcome Period. The diversification
of investment time period is intended to mitigate the risk of failing to benefit from the buffer of a single Target Outcome ETF due to
the timing of investment in such Target Outcome ETF and the relative price of the reference asset or having limited or no upside potential
remaining because of the cap of a single Target Outcome ETF. &lt;b&gt;Unlike the Target Outcome ETFs, the Trust itself does not pursue a target
outcome strategy. You may experience significant losses on investments in the Trust. The buffer is only provided by the Target Outcome
ETFs and the Trust itself does not provide any stated buffer against losses. The Trust will likely not receive the full benefit of the
Target Outcome ETF buffers and could have limited upside potential (as described below). The Trust&#x2019;s returns are limited to an extent
by the caps of the Target Outcome ETFs.&lt;/b&gt; The minimum remaining buffers or caps for the Target Outcome ETFs will not be considered when
selecting Target Outcome ETFs for within this portion of the Trust portfolio.&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;The
investment objective of SPY is to seek to provide investment results that, before expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield
performance of the S&amp;amp;P 500&lt;sup&gt;&#xae;&lt;/sup&gt; 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;The
Target Outcome ETFs held by the Trust invest substantially all of their assets in FLexible EXchange Options (&#x201c;FLEX Options&#x201d;)
on SPY. FLEX Options are customizable exchange-traded option contracts guaranteed for settlement by the Options Clearing Corporation.
Each Target Outcome ETF establishes a new cap annually at the beginning of each Target Outcome Period (i.e., resets its cap) and refreshes
the 10% buffer. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: bold 11pt/12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 4pt 0 1pt"&gt;Target Income ETFs Selection.&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;The
Target Income ETFs will constitute approximately 66% of the Trust&#x2019;s portfolio. The Target Income ETFs held by the Trust seek to
provide a consistent level of income by investing in a portfolio that provides exposure to equity or fixed income securities and employs
an options overwrite strategy.&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
addition to providing exposure to either equity or fixed-income securities, the Target Income ETFs held by the Trust utilize an option
strategy consisting of purchasing and writing (selling) call options, including FLEX Options, on individual stocks and/or an underlying
equity or fixed-income ETF or index to generate premium income. &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;The
Trust will invest in ETFs that meet the Trust&#x2019;s liquidity requirements. To be included in the Trust&#x2019;s portfolio, each ETF
must have a minimum market capitalization of $50,000,000. The Trust intends only to acquire shares of ETFs in the secondary market and
will not engage in any principal transactions with the ETFs. The ETFs will be equally weighted within their respective portions of the
Trust portfolio (Target Outcome ETFs, equity Target Income ETFs and fixed income Target Income ETFs).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 2pt"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/10pt 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. 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. 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/10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 2pt; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;The
underlying ETFs hold investments that provide exposure to the information technology sector, high-yield securities, investment grade securities
and large capitalization companies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/10pt 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 objectives 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;
