An enhanced index ETF that invests in NASDAQ US
700 Small Cap Index stocks using a rules-based selection
methodology
First Trust Global Portfolios Limited (“FTGP”), a London-based
ETF distributor and advisor, announced today that it has launched
the First Trust US Small Cap Core AlphaDEX® UCITS ETF (the “Fund”)
on the London Stock Exchange (Ticker: FYX LN).
The Fund is based on the NASDAQ AlphaDEX® Small Cap Core Index
and objectively selects stocks from the NASDAQ US 700 Small Cap
Index using the patented, rules-based AlphaDEX® methodology. “We
are delighted to launch the First Trust US Small Cap Core AlphaDEX®
UCITS ETF,” said Derek Fulton, CEO of FTGP. “With this launch on
the London Stock Exchange, we are bringing our proven AlphaDEX®
merit-based stock selection methodology to small cap U.S.
equities.”
The AlphaDEX® methodology is designed to use fundamental
valuation factors to seek better potential risk-adjusted excess
returns relative to traditional cap-weighted benchmarks. FTGP
believes that, while different methods of indexing will have
inherent limitations at different times, fundamental indexes have
the potential to generate higher long-term returns, and often times
reduce volatility, compared to similar cap-weighted indexes.
Eric Anderson, Senior Vice President for Europe at First Trust
Advisors said: “We are very excited to bring our 23rd listing in
Europe. The LSE is one of the most important trading venues in
Europe, and is a critical exchange for providing access to ETFs
across Europe. We are excited to be bringing this listing to
Europe, offering investors exposure to one of the most attractive
asset classes in the world – small cap stocks in the U.S. – while
also selecting and weighting these companies based on fundamental
investment merit as opposed to size.”
With the addition of the Fund, FTGP now offers a total of eight
AlphaDEX® UCITS ETFs – six single country funds and two
broad/regional funds.

The Fund’s holdings may be issued by companies concentrated in a
particular industry or country.
The Fund may invest in small capitalisation and mid
capitalisation companies. Such companies may experience greater

As the Fund’s investments, may be denominated in currencies
other than the Fund’s currency, an investment in this Fund may
expose you to currency risk.
This Fund’s Net Asset Value (NAV) is likely to have high
volatility due to the portfolio composition and/or the index
