Fund profile

As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q1

The First Trust SMID Cap Rising Dividend Achievers ETF (the Fund ) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield (before the Funds fees and expenses) of an index called the Nasdaq US Small Mid Cap Rising Dividend Achievers TM Index (the Index ).

Strategy · summarised

The fund tracks the Nasdaq US Small Mid Cap Rising Dividend Achievers Index using an indexing approach, holding securities that have increased dividends over three and five year periods, maintain positive earnings growth, and sustain conservative payout ratios below 65%. The Index is reconstituted quarterly across four sub-portfolios, each rebalanced annually to equal weight, which may result in higher portfolio turnover. Because the fund holds all Index constituents and the Index itself undergoes quarterly reconstitution, the fund's composition changes materially each quarter as securities are added and removed based on dividend growth and financial metrics.
