The First Trust NASDAQ-100-Technology Sector Index Fund (the Fund ) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield (before the Funds fees and expenses) of an equity index called the Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector TM Index (the Index ).
The fund tracks the Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Index, which selects technology companies from the Nasdaq-100 based on market capitalization and applies buffers designed to limit turnover. The fund normally invests at least 90% of its net assets in the securities that comprise the Index and attempts to replicate its performance before fees and expenses. Because the Index equally weights each security rather than weighting by market capitalization, the fund's returns may diverge from those of the broader Nasdaq-100 Index.
