FTHI

First Trust High Income ETF

FTHI Description

The investment seeks current income; capital appreciation is a secondary objective. The fund will pursue its objectives by investing in large cap equity securities listed on U.S. exchanges and by utilizing an "option strategy" consisting of writing (selling) U.S. exchange-traded covered call options on the Standard & Poor's 500(c) Index (the "index"). The market value of the option strategy may be up to 20% of the fund's overall net asset value. The equity securities in which the fund will invest and the options which the fund will write will be limited to U.S. exchange-traded securities and options. It is non-diversified.

EVUS

iShares ESG Aware MSCI USA Value ETF

EVUS Description

EVUS tracks an index of large- and mid-cap US value stocks perceived to have positive ESG characteristics. The parent index, MSCI USA Value Index, identifies value stocks through book value-to-price ratio, 12-month forward earnings-to-price ratio, and dividend yield. Securities are then screened to exclude companies involved in controversial businesses and issues (e.g., weapons, tobacco, climate change issues). All selected securities are assigned an ESG score that evaluates a companys exposure to key ESG issues based on the companys business segment and geographic risk, as well as their strategies and programs to manage these risks and opportunities. Using a sector-specific weighting model, companies are rated and ranked against industry peers. The quantitative process leans toward higher-rated stocks while also considering market-cap and constraints based on the parent index. The fund may engage in securities lending. The index is reviewed and rebalanced quarterly.
