About
About First Trust ISE Global Copper ETF
The Fund will normally invest at least 90% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes)
in securities or in depositary receipts representing securities in the Index. First Trust Advisors L.P. ("First Trust" or
the "Advisor") seeks to match the performance of the Index (before the Fund's fees and expenses).
The Fund, using an "indexing" investment approach, attempts to replicate, before fees and expenses, the performance of
the Index. First Trust seeks a correlation of 0.95 or better (before fees and expenses) between the Fund's performance and
the performance of the Index; a figure of 1.00 would represent perfect correlation. First Trust will regularly monitor the
Fund's tracking accuracy and will seek to maintain an appropriate correlation.
The Index is developed and owned by International Securities Exchange, LLC ("ISE" or the "Index Provider"). The Index is
designed to provide a benchmark for investors interested in tracking public companies that are active in the copper mining
business based on analysis of revenue derived from the sale of copper. Issuers of component securities must be actively engaged
in some aspect of the copper mining business such as copper mining, refining or exploration. The Index has been created to
provide investors with a product allowing them to quickly take advantage of both event-driven news and long-term trends as
the need for copper continues to evolve.
ISE reviews the Index components quarterly in March, June, September and December of each year for eligibility and sets
each component's weight in the Index according to the Index methodology. Changes are announced on ISE's publicly available
website at www.ise.com at least five days prior to the effective date.
The Fund intends to invest entirely in securities included in the Index; however, there may also be instances in which
the Fund may be underweighted or overweighted in certain securities in the Index, not invested in certain securities included
in the Index, purchases securities not in
