C000047629 Investment Objective and Strategy
First Trust Chindia ETF describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by First Trust Exchange-Traded Fund.
Investment objective
"The First Trust Chindia ETF (the ""Fund"" ), formerly First Trust ISE Chindia Index Fund, seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield (before the Fund's fees and expenses) of an equity index called the ISE ChIndia™ Index (the ""Index"" )."
Principal investment strategy
"The Fund will normally invest at least 90% of its net assets (including investment borrowings) in securities that comprise the Index. The Fund, using an indexing investment approach, attempts to replicate, before fees and expenses, the performance of the Index. 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 developed and owned by the International Securities Exchange, LLC ( ""ISE"" ), and is calculated and maintained by Nasdaq. The Index is a modified market capitalization weighted of 50 American Depositary Receipts ( ""ADRs"" ), American Depositary Shares ( ""ADSs"" ) and/or stocks selected from a universe of all listed ADRs, ADSs and/or stocks of companies from China and India currently trading on U.S.
exchanges. ADRs are certificates issued by a U.S. bank that represent a bank's holdings of a stated number of shares of a non-U.S. company. ADSs are vehicles for non-U.S. companies to list their equity shares on a U.S. exchange and are U.S. dollar denominated, and each share represents one or more underlying shares in a non-U.S. company. The inception date of the Index was April 3, 2007. The Index includes the securities of small and mid cap companies. With respect to its investment in Chinese companies, the Fund invests in H shares, depositary receipts and U.S.-listed common stock of companies that are domiciled in China, including Hong Kong. Some Chinese companies are listed on both the Hong Kong Stock Exchange with H shares and the Shanghai Stock Exchange with A shares."
