FIRST TRUST RBA QUALITY INCOME ETF (QINC) Exchange: NASDAQ

DELISTED - The Fund will normally invest at least 90% of its net assets (including investment borrowings) in U.S. and non-U.S., including emerging market, equity securities that comprise the Index. The non-U.S. equity securities may include American depositary receipts ("ADRs"), global depositary receipts ("GDRs") or other depositary receipts. The Index is designed to provide access to a diversified portfolio of small, mid and large capitalization income producing equity securities.The Fund, using an indexing investment approach, attempts to replicate, before fees and expenses, the performance of the Index. First Trust Advisors L.P., the Fund's investment advisor, seeks a correlation of 0.95 or better (before fees and expenses) between the Fund's performance and the performance of the Index; a figure of 1.00 would represent perfect correlation.The Index is owned and was developed by Richard Bernstein Advisors LLC ("RBA" or the "Index Provider"). The Index Provider has retained the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") to calculate and maintain the Index. The Index is focused on total return through a combination of dividend income and capital appreciation. The Index attempts to control the risks associated with investing in higher-yielding stocks, yet maintain attractive current income. RBA believes that risk increases as dividend yield increases, and that simply investing in high-yield equities often leads to selecting stocks whose dividends are subsequently cut or discontinued. The Index seeks to minimize the probability of dividend cuts and the related underperformance.The Index Provider constructs the Index by utilizing the following screens:1.Start with a universe of U.S. exchange-traded equities including depositary receipts, but excluding over-the-counter traded securities.2.Exclude preferred securities, master limited partnerships (MLPs) and mortgage real estate investment trusts (REITs).3.The securities included in the Index must be of companies that have an Indicated Dividend Yield (Bloomberg) greater than the MSCI All Country World Index actual trailing dividend yield.4.The securities included in the Index must be of companies that have an indicated dividend yield, as calculated by Bloomberg, of less than 50%.5.Remove the securities that are in the top decile of indicated dividend yield, as calculated by Bloomberg.6.The securities included in the Index must be of companies that have a Total Debt/Total Equity that is less than Actual Total Debt/Total Equity for the MSCI All Country World Index.7.The securities included in the Index must have earnings per share (EPS) growth variability less than that of the MSCI All Country World Index.8.Exclude companies with negative trailing year-over-year EPS growth.The Index Provider evaluates the Index components quarterly in April, July, October and January of each year for eligibility, using market data through the end of March, June, September and December, respectively. The Index is rebalanced quarterly. Rebalancing is effective as of the market close of the third Friday in April, July, October and January. The reference dates for the data used in the rebalancing are at the close of trading on the last trading day in March, June, September and December, respectively. As of December 31, 2017, the Index was comprised of 31 securities. As of September 30, 2017, the Fund had significant investments in financials and utilities companies.The Fund intends to invest entirely in securities included in the Index; however, there may also be instances in which the Fund may be underweighted or overweighted in certain securities in the Index, not invest in certain securities included in the Index, purchase securities not in the Index that are appropriate to substitute for certain securities in the Index or utilize various combinations of the above techniques in seeking to track the Index.
