You should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges
and expenses of a Fund before investing. Prospectuses for the Funds
contain this and other important information and are available free
of charge by calling toll-free at 1-800-621-1675 or visiting
www.ftportfolios.com. A prospectus should be read carefully before
investing.
Past performance is no assurance of future results. Investment
return and market value of an investment in a Fund will fluctuate.
Shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original
cost.
Principal Risk Factors: A Fund's shares will change in value,
and you could lose money by investing in a Fund. An investment in a
Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental
agency. There can be no assurance that a Fund's investment
objectives will be achieved. An investment in a Fund involves risks
similar to those of investing in any portfolio of equity securities
traded on exchanges. The risks of investing in each Fund are
spelled out in its prospectus, shareholder report, and other
regulatory filings.
Securities held by a fund, as well as shares of a fund itself,
are subject to market fluctuations caused by factors such as
general economic conditions, political events, regulatory or market
developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in
securities prices. Shares of a fund could decline in value or
underperform other investments as a result of the risk of loss
associated with these market fluctuations. In addition, local,
regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, spread of
infectious diseases or other public health issues, recessions, or
other events could have a significant negative impact on a fund and
its investments. Such events may affect certain geographic regions,
countries, sectors and industries more significantly than others.
The outbreak of the respiratory disease designated as COVID-19 in
December 2019 has caused significant volatility and declines in
global financial markets, which have caused losses for investors.
The impact of this COVID-19 pandemic may last for an extended
period of time and will continue to impact the economy for the
foreseeable future.
An Index ETF seeks investment results that correspond generally
to the price and yield of an index. You should anticipate that the
value of an Index Fund's shares will decline, more or less, in
correlation with any decline in the value of the index. An Index
Fund's return may not match the return of the index. Unlike a Fund,
the indices do not actually hold a portfolio of securities and
therefore do not incur the expenses incurred by a Fund.
Investors buying or selling Fund shares on the secondary market
may incur customary brokerage commissions. Investors who sell Fund
shares may receive less than the share's net asset value. Shares
may be sold throughout the day on the exchange through any
brokerage account. However, unlike mutual funds, shares may only be
redeemed directly from a Fund by authorized participants, in very
large creation/redemption units. If a Fund's authorized
participants are unable to proceed with creation/redemption orders
and no other authorized participant is able to step forward to
create or redeem, Fund shares may trade at a discount to a Fund's
net asset value and possibly face delisting.
One of the principal risks of investing in a Fund is market
risk. Market risk is the risk that a particular security owned by a
Fund, Fund shares or securities in general may fall in value.
A Fund that is concentrated in securities of companies in a
certain sector or industry involves additional risks, including
limited diversification. An investment in a Fund concentrated in a
single country or region may be subject to greater risks of adverse
events and may experience greater volatility than a Fund that is
more broadly diversified geographically.
The Funds may invest in small-capitalization and
mid-capitalization companies. Such companies may experience greater
price volatility than larger, more established companies.
An investment in a Fund containing securities of non-U.S.
issuers is subject to additional risks, including currency
fluctuations, political risks, withholding, the lack of adequate
financial information, and exchange control restrictions impacting
non-U.S. issuers. These risks may be heightened for securities of
companies located in, or with significant operations in, emerging
market countries. A Fund may invest in depositary receipts which
may be less liquid than the underlying shares in their primary
trading market.
Real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and real estate
operating companies (“REOCs”) are subject to certain risks,
including changes in the real estate market, vacancy rates and
competition, volatile interest rates and economic recession.
The Australian economy is heavily dependent on the Asian,
European and U.S. markets. Reduced spending by any of these
economies on Australian products may adversely affect the
Australian market. Additionally, Australia is located in a
geographic region that has historically been prone to natural
disasters. The occurrence of a natural disaster in the region could
negatively impact the Australian economy and affect the value of
the securities held by a Fund.
The Canadian and U.S. economies are closely integrated and
Canada therefore relies on significant investment from U.S.
sources. As a major producer of forest products, metals,
agricultural products and energy-related products, Canada is very
dependent on the demand for, and supply and price of, natural
resources, and the Canadian market is relatively concentrated in
issuers involved in the production and distribution of natural
resources. Continued demands by the Province of Quebec for
sovereignty could significantly affect the Canadian market. In
addition, a small number of industries represent a large portion of
the Canadian market.
A Fund is subject to certain risks associated specifically with
Hong Kong, including Hong Kong's political and economic environment
and the volatility of and the concentration of real estate
companies listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Because of Hong
Kong's reversion to China, any increase in uncertainty as to the
economic and political status of Hong Kong or a deterioration of
the relationship between China and the U.S. could have negative
implications on stocks listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
Securities prices on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange can be highly
volatile and are sensitive to developments in Hong Kong and China,
as well as other world markets.
The Funds may invest in depositary receipts which may be less
liquid than the underlying shares in their primary trading
market.
Changes in currency exchange rates and the relative value of
non-US currencies may affect the value of a Fund’s investments and
the value of a Fund’s shares.
Large inflows and outflows may impact a Fund’s market exposure
for limited periods of time.
