First Trust Global Capital Strength Portfolio
TORONTO, April 23 /CNW/ - First Defined Portfolio Management Co. is pleased to announce the launch of First Trust Global Capital Strength Portfolio (Fund Code FTC556), an open-end mutual fund trust (the "Fund"). The Fund will be advised by an experienced investment management team at First Trust Advisors, L.P. ("FTA"), an affiliate of First Defined Portfolio Management Co.
The Fund provides a convenient and efficient way to add an international dimension to your investment portfolio. As a global investment, it allows you to expand your investment choices and participate in the long-term growth potential of foreign companies.
The fundamental investment objective of the Fund is to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities traded on a U.S. exchange or market. Equity securities include common shares and American Depository Receipts of global companies.
The Fund is suitable for investors who consider growth (through capital appreciation) an important investment objective. To recognize a reasonable rate of return, investors should be prepared to invest for at least the medium term - defined as 3 years. The portfolio's holdings are equity securities of mid- to large-capitalization global issuers traded on a U.S. exchange or market, so we believe this Fund is suitable for investors with a moderate risk tolerance level.
Diversification is one of the benefits of this portfolio; a well-diversified investment can help reduce the volatility of a portfolio over time, in our opinion. To achieve its investment objective, the Fund uses a multi-step quantitative selection process to identify its investible universe of securities. The selection process is designed to identify companies that offer an attractive debt to equity ratio and strong operating profit, among other things.
A copy of the prospectus may be obtained from your registered financial advisor or by visiting www.firsttrust.ca.
Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with mutual fund investments. Please read the prospectus of the Fund before investing. Mutual funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated.
