First Trust ISE-Revere Natural Gas Index Fund
Fund Description: First Trust Natural Gas ETF, formerly First Trust ISE-Revere Natural Gas Index Fund is an exchange-traded index fund or Index ETF which is a separate investment portfolio of First Trust Exchange-Traded Fund, an open-end investment management company. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: The First Trust Natural Gas ETF seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield, before fees and expenses, of the ISE-REVERE Natural Gas Index. INDEX DESCRIPTION: The ISE-REVERE Natural Gas Index is developed and owned by the International Securities Exchange, LLC in consultation with Standard & Poor's, which calculates and maintains the Index. The Index is designed to objectively identify and select those stocks from the universe of stocks of companies that are involved in the exploration and production of natural gas, screened by stock performance variables as well as statistical factors to optimize Index performance and ensure the Index has significant correlation to the price of natural gas. The Index is an equal-weighted index comprised of exchange-listed companies that derive a substantial portion of their revenues from the exploration and production of natural gas. The Index begins by establishing the universe of stocks listed in the U.S. of companies involved in the natural gas exploration and production industries and then eliminates stocks whose natural gas proved reserves are less than 50% of the candidate stock's total proved reserves using Barrels of Oil Equivalent (BOE), an industry standard calculation, where 1 BOE = 6,000 cubic feet of gas. From this universe, the Index ranks all the candidate stocks using four different methods including price/earnings ratio, price/book ratio, return on equity and the correlation to the closing price of the spot-month Henry Hub natural gas futures contract traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The Index Provider then averages the rankings and selects the top 30 stocks based on the final rank. After the initial selection of securities, the Index is rebalanced on the application of the above model on a quarterly basis. FUND STRATEGY: The Fund will normally invest at least 90% of its total assets in common stocks that comprise the Index. The Fund, using an indexing investment approach, attempts to replicate, before expenses, the performance of the Index. In seeking to achieve the Fund's investment objective, the Fund generally will invest in all of the stocks comprising the Index in proportion to their weightings in the Index. However, under various circumstances, it may not be possible or practicable to purchase all of those stocks in those weightings. In those circumstances, the Fund may purchase a sample of stocks in the Index. There may also be instances in which the advisor may choose to overweight certain stocks in the Index, purchase securities not in the Index which the advisort believes are appropriate to substitute for certain securities in the Index, use futures or other derivative instruments, or utilize various combinations of the above techniques in seeking to track the Index. The Fund may sell stocks that are represented in the Index in anticipation of their removal from the Index or purchase stocks not represented in the Index in anticipation of their addition to the Index. FUND MANAGEMENT: First Trust Advisors L.P. is the investment adviser for the Fund.
