First Trust Advisors L.P. (“FTA”) announced today that the joint

Fund (Nasdaq: FMK), a series of First Trust Exchange-Traded
AlphaDEX® Fund, and First Trust Dow 30 Equal Weight ETF (NYSE Arca:

FMK is an index based ETF that seeks investment results that
correspond generally to the price and yield (before the Fund’s fees
and expenses) of an equity index called the Nasdaq AlphaDEX® Mega
Cap Index. FMK pursues this investment objective by investing at
least 90% of its net assets (including investment borrowings) in
the common stocks that comprise the index. The index is designed to
select mega cap stocks from the NASDAQ US 500 Large Cap Index that
may generate positive alpha, or risk-adjusted returns, relative to
traditional indices through the use of the AlphaDEX® selection
methodology.
EDOW is an index based ETF that seeks investment results that
correspond generally to the price and yield (before the Fund’s fees
and expenses) of an equity index called the Dow Jones Industrial
Average Equal Weight Index. EDOW pursues this investment objective
by investing at least 90% of its net assets (including investment
borrowings) in the common stocks that comprise the index. The index
is the equal weight version of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageTM
which is composed of 30 securities issued by blue-chip U.S.
companies covering all industries, with the exception of
transportation and utilities.
