Fund Description: First Trust RiverFront Dynamic Emerging Markets ETF is a non-diversified, actively managed exchange-traded fund or Actively Managed ETF which is a separate investment portfolio of the First Trust Exchange-Traded Fund IV, an open-end investment management company. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: The First Trust RiverFront Dynamic Emerging Markets ETF seeks to provide capital appreciation. The Fund is an actively managed ETF and does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified Index. Instead, it uses an active investment strategy to seek to meet its investment objective. RiverFront Investment Group, LLC, the Sub-Advisor, subject to the oversight of the Advisor and the Board, has discretion on a daily basis to manage the Fund’s portfolio in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and investment policies. FUND STRATEGY: Under normal market conditions, the Fund will seek to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets (including investment borrowings) in a portfolio of equity securities of emerging market companies, including through investments in common stock, depositary receipts, and common and preferred shares of real estate investment trusts (REITs), and forward foreign currency exchange contracts and currency spot transactions used to hedge the Fund's exposure to the currencies in which the equity securities of such emerging market companies are denominated, each, an Emerging Market currency and, collectively, the Emerging Market currencies. The Fund will generally focus its emerging market company investments in Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, the Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Nigeria, Peru, the Philippines, Poland, Qatar, Russia, South Africa, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey and/or the United Arab Emirates. The Fund will utilize a dynamic currency hedging strategy through the use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts and currency spot transactions to hedge up to 100% of the Fund's currency exposure. The Fund also may invest up to 20% of its net assets in equity securities of
companies in developed market countries and forward foreign currency exchange contracts and currency spot transactions used to hedge the Fund's exposure to non-Emerging Market currencies as well as any proxy currency hedging transactions involving non-Emerging Market currencies determined by the Sub-Advisor to be representative of, and serve as a proxy for, Emerging Market currencies. The securities in which the Fund may invest must be listed on a U.S. or non-U.S. securities exchange. The Fund may invest in small, mid and large capitalization companies. In selecting the portfolio securities of the Fund, the sub-adviser assembles a portfolio of eligible securities based on several core attributes, including, but not limited to, value, quality, momentum and considers multiple factors within each core attribute, such as the price-to-book value of a
security when determining value and a company's cash as a percentage of the company's market capitalization when determining quality. In managing the Fund's currency exposure, the Sub-Advisor will deploy a dynamic currency hedging strategy based on a proprietary hedging methodology that considers a combination of quantitative measures, such as interest rate differentials, central bank balance sheet expansion/contraction and price momentum, and qualitative measures, such as formal and informal guidance from central bankers. FUND MANAGEMENT: First Trust Advisors L.P. serves as investment advisor to the Fund. RiverFront Investment Group, LLC (RIG) serves as the Sub-Advisor to the Fund.
