A fundamental approach to investing in US dividend-paying stocks

First Trust Global Portfolios Limited (“FTGP”), a London-based ETF distributor and advisor, announced today that it has launched Class B shares of the First Trust US Equity Income UCITS ETF (the “Fund”) on Borsa Italiana (Ticker: UNCA IM).

The Fund seeks to provide investors with investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield of an equity index called the NASDAQ US High Equity Income Index (the “Index”). The Index employs a rules-based stock selection methodology which uses fundamental screens and a plough-back based weighting methodology to objectively select dividend-paying stocks from the NASDAQ US Index.

Eric Anderson, Senior Vice President for Europe at First Trust Advisors, said: “We are very excited of our first listing on the Borsa Italiana and 23rd listing in Europe. The Borsa Italiana is one of the most important trading venues in Europe, and is a critical exchange for providing access to pan-European investors. With this new listing, First Trust is bringing attractive and high yielding U.S. stocks to investors in Europe.”

Silvia Bosoni, Head of ETFs Listing of Borsa Italiana, commented: “We are pleased to welcome First Trust during this important period of growth of the Italian ETF market. The inclusion of First Trust on Borsa Italiana is a tangible proof of the interest of US ETF issuers toward the European markets, and specifically for Italy that has positioned itself as a reference point in Europe thanks to the leadership on the number of contracts traded.”

Risks

The Fund’s shares may change in value and may go down as well as up. You could lose money by investing in the Fund. You may not get back all the money you invest.

The Fund is subject to Market Risk, which means that shares of the Fund may fall in value due to market fluctuations caused by such factors as economic, political, regulatory or market developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in securities prices.

There may be tracking difference between the Fund and the underlying index due to the impact of the annual Fund management fees. Therefore the Fund’s return may not match the return of the NASDAQ US High Equity Income Index.

The Fund’s holdings may be issued by companies concentrated in a particular industry or country.

The Fund may invest in small capitalisation and mid capitalisation companies. Such companies may experience greater price volatility than larger, more established companies.

As the Fund’s investments may be denominated in currencies other than the currency in which shares of the Fund are traded, an investment in this Fund may expose you to currency risk.

This Fund’s Net Asset Value (NAV) is likely to have high volatility due to the portfolio composition and/or the index replication technique. As such, potential investors should be aware that the Fund’s shares will change in value, and may do so in a volatile fashion; potential investors could lose money by investing in the Fund.

Neither FTGP nor any of its affiliates guarantees the performance or the future returns of the Fund.

There is no guarantee that the Fund will declare dividends.
