Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q2
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.

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.
