Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q2
The First Trust BuyWrite Income ETFs (the Fund ) primary investment objective is to provide current income. The Fund's secondary investment objective is to provide capital appreciation.
The fund invests primarily in U.S. equity securities selected for higher dividend yields, while simultaneously writing call options on the S&P 500 Index to generate monthly premium income; the notional value of written calls ranges from 25% to 75% of fund assets. In exchange for option premiums, the fund forgoes upside participation in the S&P 500 above each call's strike price. The written calls are uncovered—the fund does not own the index itself—though individual stock holdings in the portfolio provide partial hedge protection.

Allocation
Asset groups · long / short shown separately, never netted · 2026 Q2
| Stocks | 97.09% |
| Cash & short-term | 4.18% |
| Derivatives | -1.32% |
The outer band is exposure held short — written against the portfolio rather than part of it, which is why it sits outside the ring and why the two are never netted into one figure.
Derivatives are shown at market value, not notional exposure.
Sector allocation
The same holdings as Allocation above, grouped by market sector instead of asset type · as of 2026 Q2
| Information Technology | 26.6% |
| Industrials | 12.2% |
| International | 11.5% |
| Financials | 10.8% |
| 9 smaller | 38.9% |
Government, Securitized and Cash are non-corporate buckets; International is foreign holdings we don’t sector-classify, and Other is the residual (held funds, unresolved names).
Portfolio growth profile
How much of the fund’s stock holdings are in fast-growing companies · as of 2026 Q2
Share of the fund’s equity (by value) in companies whose trailing five-year revenue — or net-income — growth ranks in the top 25% of U.S. public companies. Foreign and newly-listed holdings are excluded, so the figure covers only part of the book. From SEC filings — not investment advice. How we measure this.

Return profile
Total return as filed — price change plus distributions reinvested · trailing figures to Apr 2026
May 2026 and Jun 2026 have been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so they are not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
