First Trust Exchange -Traded Fund - FT Vest Silver Strategy & Target Income ETF

SLVY uses FLEX options, short-term treasuries and cash-like investments to participate in the price performance of the IShares Silver Trust (SLV). The fund aims to provide consistent income, on an annual basis of about 4.0% above yields of one-month T-bills. For tax purposes, SLVY does not hold the FLEX options or silver directly but gets its exposure through a wholly-owned Cayman Island subsidiary. The fund participates in the gains of SLV on about 50-100% basis by purchasing call options. SLVY utilizes a partial covered call strategy wherein a portion of the upside price return of SLV is converted into current income. To implement this strategy, SLVY will sell call options with an expiration date less than or equal to one month in the future. While the fund provides additional income through FLEX options, it does not provide buffers for losses, it fully participates in SLVs losses on a one-to-one basis.
