What is EFIX?

The First Trust TCW Emerging Markets Debt ETF (the "Fund") seeks to provide high total return from current income and capital appreciation. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (including investment borrowings) in debt securities issued or guaranteed by companies, financial institutions and government entities located in emerging market countries. An "emerging market country" is a country that, at the time the Fund invests in the related security or instrument, is classified as an emerging or developing economy by any supranational organization such as the World Bank or the United Nations, or related entities, or is considered an emerging market country for purposes of constructing a major emerging market securities index. The Funds investments include, but are not limited to, debt securities issued by sovereign entities, quasi-sovereign entities and corporations. "Quasi-Sovereign" refers to an entity that is either 100% owned by a sovereign entity or whose debt is 100% guaranteed by a sovereign entity. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in securities issued by non-Quasi-Sovereign corporations in emerging market countries. The Fund will invest at least 90% of its assets in dollar-denominated securities. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its assets in securities denominated in Eurodollars and/or Japanese yen.
