Risks

The Fund’s shares may change in value and may go down as well as up. You could lose money by investing in the Fund. You may not get back all of the money you invest.

The Fund is subject to Market Risk, which means that shares of the Fund may fall in value due to market fluctuations caused by such factors as economic, political, regulatory or market developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in securities prices. There may be tracking difference between the Fund and the underlying index due to the impact of annual Fund management fees. Therefore the Fund’s return may not match the return of the NASDAQ AlphaDEX® United Kingdom Index, the Fund’s benchmark. 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 price volatility than larger, more established companies. 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 replication technique. As such, potential investors should be aware that the Fund’s shares may change in value, and may do so in a volatile fashion; potential investors could lose money by investing in the Fund.

Neither FTGP nor any of its affiliates guarantees the performance or the future returns of the Fund. There is no guarantee that the Fund will declare dividends. For more details relating to risks of investing in the Fund, please refer to the “Risk Factors” section of the Fund’s prospectus.
