Products and/or services of First Trust Emerging Markets AlphaDEX® Fund

Exposure to AlphaDEX® Emerging Markets Index: The ETF tracks an index (potentially the AlphaDEX® Emerging Markets Index) that selects companies from emerging markets around the world. The index methodology might focus on identifying stocks with factors that have historically signaled potential for alpha (returns above the market benchmark).
Diversification Across Emerging Markets: The ETF offers exposure to a basket of companies across various emerging economies, potentially including China, India, Brazil, and others.
Passive Management: The ETF passively tracks the underlying index. It doesn't attempt to actively select or outperform individual emerging market stocks based on predictions or market timing. This typically results in lower fees compared to actively managed emerging markets funds.
Potential for Capital Appreciation: By investing in a basket of emerging market companies, the ETF offers the potential for capital appreciation over time as the share prices of the underlying companies increase. Emerging markets can offer higher growth potential but also involve greater volatility compared to developed markets.
Factor-Based Investment Strategy: The AlphaDEX® index might target specific factors believed to contribute to higher returns, potentially including value, quality, momentum, or profitability.
Exchange-Traded: Shares of the ETF trade on a stock exchange like any other stock, offering high liquidity. Investors can easily buy and sell shares throughout the trading day for flexible portfolio management.
