FTC

First Trust Large Cap Growth AlphaDEX Fund (based on the Defined Large Cap Growth Index)

FTC Description

The investment seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield (before the fund's fees and expenses) of an equity index called the Defined Large Cap Growth Index. The fund will normally invest at least 90% of its net assets in common stocks that comprise the index. The index is a modified equal-dollar weighted index designed by S&P to objectively identify and select stocks from the S&P 500(R) Growth Index that may generate positive alpha relative to traditional passive-style indices through the use of the AlphaDEX(R) selection methodology. It is non-diversified.

XSW

SPDR S&P Software & Services ETF

XSW Description

It generally invests substantially all, but at least 80%, of its total assets in the securities comprising the index. The index represents the software and services industry group of the S&P Total Stock Market Index ("S&P TMI"). The fund is non-diversified.
