Launched on November 21, 2007 and domiciled in the United States, the fund is managed by First Trust Advisors L.P., based in Wheaton, Illinois, with a team including Roger Testin, Daniel Lindquist, Jon Erickson, David McGarel, Stan Ueland, Chris Peterson, and Erik Russo; it trades on NYSE Arca with total net assets of approximately $986 million, a net expense ratio of 0.56%, and quarterly distributions.
