The FT Vest S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats Target Income ETF (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 Cboe S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats Target Income Index Monthly Series (the Index ).
The fund tracks the Cboe S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats Target Income Index, which holds stocks of S&P 500 companies with at least 25 consecutive years of dividend increases and sells monthly covered call options on those stocks to generate income targeting approximately 8% above the S&P 500's dividend yield. Day-to-day investment decisions are delegated to sub-adviser Vest Financial LLC. Because the fund sells call options, capital appreciation is capped when stock prices rise above the option strike prices, potentially limiting total returns relative to the S&P 500 Index. The fund may sell securities to meet its income target, which can result in return-of-capital distributions and reduced tax efficiency.

What the fund is made of
Percentages are of fund net assets. Rounding, liabilities and short positions can make totals differ from 100%.

| Derivatives | -0.57% |
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.

How it has done
KNG share class · total returns with dividends reinvested
Volatility over the last 12 months: 10.65%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.
Jun 2026 and Jul 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.
