First Trust Small Cap BuyWrite Income ETF (FTKI)
About this ETF
The First Trust Small Cap BuyWrite Income ETF, referred to as the "Fund," has a primary objective of generating consistent income. Its secondary goal is to grow the value of its investments over time. Under typical market conditions, the Fund pursues these aims by primarily investing in small-capitalization stocks listed on U.S. exchanges. Additionally, it implements a "buy-write" options approach, which involves selling U.S. exchange-traded call options that are based on either the Russell 2000 Index or various small-cap equity exchange-traded funds.
