Title: URL Source: https://is.gd/Ssj9uW Markdown Content: # First Trust Vest U.S. Equity Buffer UCITS ETF - January The Fund is an actively managed Fund which seeks to provide investors with returns (before fees and expenses) that match the price return of the S&P 500® Index (the “Index”) up to a predetermined upside cap, while providing a buffer (before fees and expenses) against the first 10% of Index losses over approximately a one year period starting 21 January 2025. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest substantially all of its assets in Flexible Exchange® Options ("FLEX Options") that reference the price performance of the S&P 500® Index. FLEX Options are customised equity or index put and call option contracts that are cleared by the Options Clearing Corporation (the “OCC”) and traded on Regulated Markets in the US (and in particular the Cboe Options Exchange). The ETF can be held indefinitely, resetting at the end of each outcome period (approximately annually). # Potential Advantages Targeted outcome Perpetual structure Limited volatility Flexible, Liquid, Transparent No bank credit risk Re-Investment of Gains # Performance The figures shown relate to past performance and do not predict future returns Performance Since Inception (%) 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 010 20 30 40 50 60 70 Performance will not be shown for funds which do not have one full year of data available Since Performance Summary (%) 1 M 3 M YTD 1 Y 3 Y 5 Y Inception Acc USD - - - - - - - Reference index - - - - - - -Performance for periods under one year is cumulative and over one year is annualised. 31.03.20 31.03.21 31.03.22 31.03.23 31.03.24 12-Month Performance Periods (%) 31.03.21 31.03.22 31.03.23 31.03.24 31.03.25 Acc USD - - - - - Reference index - - - - -Fund performance is the performance of the share class since its inception, shown net of fees including re-invested dividends in the base currency of the share class which is in USD.

UK Reporting Status SIPP ISA First Trust Vest U.S. Equity Buffer UCITS ETF - January- -Data as at 31 March 2025 Page 2 of 3 n The First Trust Vest U.S. Equity Buffer UCITS ETF - January is actively managed using a “Target Outcome Investments® strategy” which seeks to produce a pre-determined investment outcome during a specified time period (the “Target Outcome Period”) based on the performance of the underlying reference asset. n The outcome may only be realised for an investor who holds shares on the first day of the Target Outcome Period and continues to hold them on the last day of the Target Outcome Period. n The Fund invests substantially all of its assets in FLEX Options that reference the performance of the S&P 500® Index. FLEX Options provide the ability to customize key contract terms, such as exercise prices, styles and expiration dates. n The Fund resets annually on the first day of each new Target Outcome Period by investing in a new set of FLEX Options that provide the buffer and cap for the new Target Outcome Period. For each Target Outcome Period, the Fund will construct a portfolio of purchased and written put and call FLEX Options. n The Fund only seeks to provide shareholders that hold shares for the entire Target Outcome Period with the full target buffer against S&P 500® Index losses (based upon the value of S&P 500® Index at the time the fund entered into the FLEX Options on the first day of the Target Outcome Period) during the Target Outcome Period. n The Fund will not terminate after the conclusion of the Target Outcome Period. After the conclusion of the Target Outcome Period, another will begin. n There is no guarantee that the outcomes for a Target Outcome Period will be realised. n The buffer and cap for each subsequent outcome period will likely differ from the initial outcome period. # Outcome Period Values CURRENT VALUES TOP HOLDINGS (%) Series January Reference Asset S&P 500® Index Target Outcome Period 22/01/2025 - 16/01/2026 Fund Cap (Net) 14.10% (13.26%) Buffer (Net) 10.00% (9.16%) Starting Fund Value 24.20 USD Fund Cap Value 27.41 USD Starting Reference Asset Value 6,049.24 USD Reference Asset Cap Value 6,902.20 USD Buffer Start % / Reference Asset Value 0.00% / 6,049.26 USD Buffer End % / Reference Asset Value -10.00% / 5,444.34 USD Remaining outcome period 291 days Fund Value/Return 23.14 USD / -4.38% Reference asset value/return 5,611.85 USD / -7.23% Remaining cap (Net) 19.16% (18.45%) Reference Asset Return to Realize the Cap 22.99% Remaining buffer (Net) 7.40% (6.69%) Downside Before Buffer (Net) 0.00% (0.00%) Reference Asset to Buffer End -2.98% Unrealized Option Payoff (Net) 4.42% (3.71%) 2026 -01 -16 S&P 500® Index - Price Return C 60.51 95.11 2026 -01 -16 S&P 500® Index - Price Return P 6,049.26 8.11 2026 -01 -16 S&P 500® Index - Price Return C 6,902.20 -0.20 2026 -01 -16 S&P 500® Index - Price Return P 5,444.34 -4.08 First Trust Vest U.S. Equity Buffer UCITS ETF - January- -Data as at 31 March 2025 Page 3 of 3 # Risks n The Fund may not achieve its investment objective and the value of shares in the Fund may fall. n Neither First Trust Global Portfolios Management Limited (“FTGPM”) nor any of its affiliates, guarantees the performance or the future returns of the Fund. n This product does not include any protection from future market performance. n For other risks materially relevant to the Fund, please read the Prospectus and the related supplement for this Fund available at www.ftgportfolios.com. # Important Information UK RETAIL This marketing communication is issued by First Trust Global Portfolios Management Limited (“FTGPM”) whose place of business is Fitzwilliam Hall, Fitzwilliam Place, Dublin 2, D02 T292.
