First Trust has added three ETFs to its lineup
of ETFs that are cross-listed on the Bolsa Mexicana de Valores
First Trust Advisors L.P. (“First Trust”) a global
exchange-traded fund (ETF) provider and asset manager, today
announced that it has cross-listed the First Trust NASDAQ® ABA
Community Bank Index Fund (Ticker: QABA), the First Trust NASDAQ®
Clean Edge® Green Energy Index Fund (Ticker: QCLN) and the First
Trust Nasdaq Cybersecurity ETF (Ticker: CIBR) on the Bolsa Mexicana
de Valores (BMV).
As many institutional investors seek to invest more broadly
outside of Mexico, First Trust is pleased to expand its offerings
of cross-listed ETFs. These ETFs present an opportunity for Mexican
investors to access niche sectors of the economy while diversifying
risk with a product that generally involves lower costs than
traditional mutual funds.
First Trust first entered the Mexican market in 2011. “Mexico is
a key market for First Trust and one of our fastest growing
countries by asset growth in Latin America,” said Codie Sanchez
Baker, Head of First Trust Latin America Investment Distribution.
“Our hope is to continue to provide innovative and relevant
solutions such as these newly cross-listed ETFs for our investors
and clients.” These three funds increase the number of First Trust
ETFs cross-listed on the BMV to 45.

ETF Characteristics
The funds list and principally trade their shares on The Nasdaq
Stock Market LLC and the Bolsa Mexicana de Valores.
A fund’s return may not match the return of its underlying
index. Securities held by the funds will generally not be bought or
sold in response to market fluctuations.
Investors buying or selling fund shares on the secondary market
may incur customary brokerage commissions. Market prices may differ
to some degree from the net asset value of the shares. Investors
who sell fund shares may receive less than the share’s net asset
value. Shares may be sold throughout the day on the exchange
through any brokerage account. However, unlike mutual funds, shares
may only be redeemed directly from the fund by authorized
participants, in very large creation/redemption units.
Risks
A fund’s shares will change in value, and you could lose money
by investing in a fund. One of the principal risks of investing in
a fund is market risk. Market risk is the risk that a particular
security owned by a fund, fund shares or securities in general may
fall in value. There can be no assurance that a fund’s investment
objective will be achieved.
A fund may invest in securities issued by companies concentrated
in a particular industry, sector or country. A fund may invest in
small capitalization and mid-capitalization companies. Such
companies may experience greater price volatility than larger, more
established companies.
An investment in a fund containing securities of non-U.S.
issuers is subject to additional risks, including currency
fluctuations, political risks, withholding, the lack of adequate
financial information, and exchange control restrictions impacting
non-U.S. issuers. These risks may be heightened for securities of
companies located in, or with significant operations in, emerging
market countries. A fund may invest in depositary receipts which
may be less liquid than the underlying shares in their primary
trading market.
Community banks were significantly impacted by the decline in
the subprime mortgage lending market in the U.S. which brought
about legislative and regulatory changes, changes in short-term and
long-term interest rates, inflation and changes in government
monetary and fiscal policies. Unlike larger national or other
regional banks that are more geographically diversified, a
community bank’s financial performance may be highly dependent upon
the business environment in certain geographic regions of the U.S.
and may be adversely impacted by any downturn or unfavorable
economic or employment developments in its local market and the
U.S. as a whole.
Renewable and alternative energy companies can be significantly
affected by obsolescence of existing technology, short product
cycles, legislation resulting in more strict government regulations
and enforcement policies, fluctuations in energy prices and supply
and demand of alternative energy fuels, energy conservation, the
success of exploration projects, the supply of and demand for oil
and gas, world events and economic conditions. Shares of clean
energy companies have been significantly more volatile than shares
of companies operating in other more established industries. This
industry is relatively nascent and under-researched in comparison
to more established and mature sectors.
Information technology companies and cybersecurity companies are
generally subject to the risks of rapidly changing technologies,
short product life cycles, fierce competition, aggressive pricing
and reduced profit margins, loss of patent, copyright and trademark
protections, cyclical market patterns, evolving industry standards
and frequent new product introductions. Cybersecurity companies may
also be smaller and less experienced companies, with limited
product lines, markets, qualified personnel or financial
resources.
Industrials companies are subject to certain risks, including
the general state of the economy, intense competition,
consolidation, domestic and international politics, excess capacity
and consumer demand and spending trends. In addition, they may also
be significantly affected by overall capital spending levels,
economic cycles, technical obsolescence, delays in modernization,
labor relations, government regulations and e-commerce
initiatives.
CIBR currently has fewer assets than larger funds, and like
other relatively new funds, large inflows and outflows may impact
the fund’s market exposure for limited periods of time.
The funds are classified as “non-diversified” and may invest a
relatively high percentage of their assets in a limited number of
issuers. As a result, the funds may be more susceptible to a single
adverse economic or regulatory occurrence affecting one or more of
these issuers, experience increased volatility and be highly
concentrated in certain issuers.
First Trust Advisors L.P. is the adviser to the funds. First
Trust Advisors L.P. is an affiliate of First Trust Portfolios L.P.,
the funds’ distributor.
