The funds have a perpetual structure and may be held indefinitely, providing investors a buy and hold investment opportunity.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFirst Trust believes a buffer against a level of losses can help investors stay invested during volatile times.

The first-ever Target Outcome Buffer ETFs on SPY, built by Cboe Vest, have been well-received.

Market prices may differ to some degree from the net asset value of the shares. Investors who sell fund shares may receive less than the share\u2019s net asset value. Shares may be sold throughout the day on the exchange through any brokerage account. However, unlike mutual funds, shares may only be redeemed directly from the funds by authorized participants, in very large creation\/redemption units. If the funds\u2019 authorized participants are unable to proceed with creation\/redemption orders and no other authorized participant is able to step forward to create or redeem, fund shares may trade at a discount to the funds\u2019 net asset value and possibly face delisting<b>. <\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Risk Considerations <\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThe funds have characteristics unlike many other traditional investment products and may not be appropriate for all investors.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIf the underlying ETF experiences gains during a target outcome period, the funds will not participate in those gains beyond the cap.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIn the event an investor purchases fund shares after the first day of a target outcome period and the fund has risen in value to a level near to the cap, there may be little or no ability for that investor to experience an investment gain on their fund shares. Similarly, in the event an investor purchases fund shares after the first day of a target outcome period, the buffer the fund seeks to provide may not be available. A shareholder may lose their entire investment.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe funds\u2019 shares will change in value, and you could lose money by investing in the funds. One of the principal risks of investing in the funds is market risk. Market risk is the risk that a particular security owned by the funds, fund shares or securities in general may fall in value.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe outbreak of the respiratory disease designated as COVID-19 in December 2019 has caused significant volatility and declines in global financial markets, which have caused losses for investors. The COVID-19 pandemic may last for an extended period of time and will continue to impact the economy for the foreseeable future.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIn managing the funds\u2019 investment portfolios, the advisor will apply investment techniques and risk analyses that may not have the desired result. There can be no assurance that the funds\u2019 investment objectives will be achieved.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nA fund may be a constituent of one or more indices which could greatly affect a fund\u2019s trading activity, size and volatility.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe use of options and other derivatives can lead to losses because of adverse movements in the price or value of the underlying asset, index or rate, which may be magnified by certain features of the derivatives.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe funds may invest in FLEX Options that reference an ETF, which subjects the funds to certain of the risks of owning shares of an ETF as well as the types of instruments in which the reference ETF invests.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nBecause the funds may hold FLEX Options that reference the index and\/or reference ETFs, the funds have exposure to the equity securities markets.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe FLEX Options held by the funds will be exercisable at the strike price only on their expiration date. Prior to the expiration date, the value of the FLEX Options will be determined based upon market quotations or other recognized pricing methods.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThere can be no guarantee that a liquid secondary trading market will exist for the FLEX Options and FLEX options may be less liquid than exchange-traded options.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe funds\u2019 investment strategy is designed to deliver returns that match the reference asset if a fund\u2019s shares are bought on the day on which the fund enters into the FLEX Options (i.e., the first day of a target outcome period) and held until those FLEX Options expire at the end of the target outcome period. In the event an investor purchases fund shares after the first day of a target outcome period or sells shares prior to the expiration of the target outcome period, the value of that investor\u2019s investment in fund shares may not be buffered against a decline in the value of the reference asset and may not participate in a gain in the value of the reference asset up to the cap for the investor\u2019s investment period.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nA new cap is established at the beginning of each target outcome period and is dependent on prevailing market conditions. As a result, the cap may rise or fall from one target outcome period to the next and is unlikely to remain the same for consecutive target outcome periods.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe funds may, under certain circumstances, effect a significant portion of creations and redemptions for cash rather than in-kind securities. As a result, the funds may be less tax-efficient.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nHigh portfolio turnover may cause a fund\u2019s performance to be less than expected.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nA fund may be subject to the risk that a counterparty will not fulfill its obligations which may result in significant financial loss to a fund.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAs the use of Internet technology has become more prevalent in the course of business, the funds have become more susceptible to potential operational risks through breaches in cyber security.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe funds currently have fewer assets than larger funds, and like other relatively new funds, large inflows and outflows may impact the funds\u2019 market exposure for limited periods of time.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe funds intend to qualify as \u201cregulated investment companies\u201d (\u201cRICs\u201d), however, the federal income tax treatment of certain aspects of the proposed operations of the funds are not entirely clear. If, in any year, the funds fail to qualify as RICs under the applicable tax laws, the funds would be taxed as ordinary corporations.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe funds are classified as \u201cnon-diversified\u201d and may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers. As a result, the funds may be more susceptible to a single adverse economic or regulatory occurrence affecting one or more of these issuers, experience increased volatility and be highly concentrated in certain issuers.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFirst Trust Advisors L.P. is the adviser to the funds.
