---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) As of the Evaluation Time (defined below in footnote 4) on the Initial Date of Deposit, we may adjust
the number of Units of the Trust so that the Public Offering Price per Unit will equal approximately $10.00. If we make such an adjustment,
the fractional undivided interest per Unit will vary from the amount indicated above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) The Public Offering Price shown above reflects the value of the Securities on the business day prior to
the Initial Date of Deposit. No investor will purchase Units at this price. The price you pay for your Units will be based on their valuation
at the Evaluation Time on the date you purchase your Units. On the Initial Date of Deposit, the Public Offering Price per Unit will not
include any accumulated dividends on the Securities. After this date, a pro rata share of any accumulated dividends on the Securities
will be included.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) You will pay a maximum sales charge of 2.75% of the Public Offering Price per Unit (equivalent to 2.75%
of the net amount invested) which consists of an initial sales charge, a deferred sales charge and a creation and development fee. The
sales charges are described in the "Fee Table."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) Each listed Security is valued at its last closing sale price at the Evaluation Time on the business day
prior to the Initial Date of Deposit. If a Security is not listed, or if no closing sale price exists, it is valued at its closing ask
price on such date. See "Public Offering—The Value of the Securities." Evaluations for purposes of determining the purchase,
sale or redemption price of Units are made as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") (generally 4:00
p.m. Eastern time) on each day on which it is open (the "Evaluation Time").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) The creation and development fee will be deducted from the assets of the Trust at the end of the initial
offering period and the estimated organization costs per Unit will be deducted from the assets of the Trust at the earlier of six months
after the Initial Date of Deposit or the end of the initial offering period. If Units are redeemed prior to any such reduction, these
fees will not be deducted from the redemption proceeds. See "Redeeming Your Units."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) See "Amending or Terminating the Indenture."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7) The Trustee will distribute money from the Income Account, as determined at the semi-annual Income Account
Distribution Record Date, semi-annually on the twenty-fifth day of each June and December to Unit holders of record on the tenth day of
such months provided the amount in the Income Account equals at least $1.00 per 100 Units. The Trustee will make distributions from the
Capital Account monthly on the twenty-fifth day of each month to Unit holders of record on the tenth day of such month provided the amount
available for distribution from the Capital Account equals at least $1.00 per 100 Units. See "Income and Capital Distributions."

**Fee Table (Unaudited)**<br> Fee Table<br>

This Fee Table describes the fees and expenses that you may, directly or indirectly, pay if you buy and hold Units of the Trust. See "Public Offering" and "Expenses and Charges." Although the Trust has a term of approximately two years and is a unit investment trust rather than a mutual fund, this information allows you to compare fees.

**Example**

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Trust with the cost of investing in other investment products. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Trust for the periods shown. The example also assumes a 5% return on your investment each year and that the Trust's operating expenses stay the same. The example does not take into consideration transaction fees which may be charged by certain broker/dealers for processing redemption requests. Although your actual costs may vary, based on these assumptions your costs, assuming you sell or redeem your Units at the end of each period, would be:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| <u>**1 Year**</u> | <u>**2 Years**</u> |
| $346 | $368 |

---

The example will not differ if you hold rather than sell your Units at the end of each period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The combination of the initial and deferred sales charge comprises what
we refer to as the "transactional sales charge." The initial sales charge is actually equal to the difference between the
maximum sales charge of 2.75% and the sum of any remaining deferred sales charge and creation and development fee. When the Public Offering
Price per Unit equals $10, there is no initial sales charge. If the price you pay for your Units exceeds $10 per Unit, you will pay an
initial sales charge.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The deferred sales charge is a fixed dollar amount equal to $.225 per Unit
which, as a percentage of the Public Offering Price, will vary over time. The deferred sales charge will be deducted in three monthly
installments commencing October 20, 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The creation and development fee compensates the Sponsor for creating and
developing the Trust. The creation and development fee is a charge of $.050 per Unit collected at the end of the initial offering period,
which is expected to be approximately three months from the Initial Date of Deposit. If the price you pay for your Units exceeds $10 per
Unit, the creation and development fee will be less than 0.50%; if the price you pay for your Units is less than $10 per Unit, the creation
and development fee will exceed 0.50%. If you purchase Units after the initial offering period, you will not be assessed the creation
and development fee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Estimated organization costs, which include a one-time licensing fee, will
be deducted from the assets of the Trust at the earlier of six months after the Initial Date of Deposit or the end of the initial offering
period. Estimated organization costs are assessed on a fixed dollar amount per Unit basis which, as a percentage of average net assets,
will vary over time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Each of the fees listed herein is assessed on a fixed dollar amount per
Unit basis which, as a percentage of average net assets, will vary over time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Other operating expenses for the Trust do not include brokerage costs and
other portfolio transaction fees for the Trust. In certain circumstances the Trust may incur additional expenses not set forth above.
See "Expenses and Charges."

**Report of Independent<br> Registered Public Accounting Firm**<br> Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm<br>

**To the Unit Holders and the Sponsor, First Trust Portfolios L.P., of FT 13045**

**Opinion on the Statement of Net Assets**

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets, including the schedule of investments, of FT 13045, comprising U.S. Manufacturing Select, Series 1 (the "Trust"), one of the series constituting the FT Series, as of the opening of business on June 24, 2026 (Initial Date of Deposit), and the related notes. In our opinion, the statement of net assets presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Trust as of the opening of business on June 24, 2026 (Initial Date of Deposit), in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

**Basis for Opinion**

This statement of net assets is the responsibility of the Trust's Sponsor. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this statement of net assets based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statement of net assets is free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the statement of net assets, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the statement of net assets. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the Trust's Sponsor, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the statement of net assets. Our procedures included confirmation of the irrevocable letter of credit held by The Bank of New York Mellon, the Trustee, and deposited in the Trust for the purchase of securities, as shown in the statement of net assets, as of the opening of business on June 24, 2026, by correspondence with the Trustee. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**NOTES TO STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS**

The Trust is registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Sponsor is responsible for the preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States which require the Sponsor to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported herein. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Trust intends to comply in its initial fiscal year and thereafter with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and as such, will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gains) distributed to Unit holders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The Trust invests in a diversified portfolio of common stocks. Aggregate
cost of the Securities listed under "Schedule of Investments" is based on their aggregate underlying value. The Trust has
a Mandatory Termination Date of June 23, 2028.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) An irrevocable letter of credit issued by The Bank of New York Mellon,
of which approximately $300,000 has been allocated to the Trust, has been deposited with the Trustee as collateral, covering the monies
necessary for the purchase of the Securities according to their purchase contracts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) A portion of the Public Offering Price consists of an amount sufficient
to reimburse the Sponsor for all or a portion of the costs of establishing the Trust. These costs have been estimated at $.0490 per Unit.
A payment will be made at the earlier of six months after the Initial Date of Deposit or the end of the initial offering period to an
account maintained by the Trustee from which the obligation of the investors to the Sponsor will be satisfied. To the extent that actual
organization costs of the Trust are greater than the estimated amount, only the estimated organization costs added to the Public Offering
Price will be reimbursed to the Sponsor and deducted from the assets of the Trust.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) Represents the amount of mandatory deferred sales charge distributions
of $.225 per Unit, payable to the Sponsor in three equal monthly installments beginning on October 20, 2026 and on the twentieth day of
each month thereafter (or if such date is not a business day, on the preceding business day) through December 18, 2026. If Unit holders
redeem Units before December 18, 2026, they will have to pay the remaining amount of the deferred sales charge applicable to such Units
when they redeem them.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) The creation and development fee ($.050 per Unit) is payable by the Trust
on behalf of Unit holders out of assets of the Trust at the end of the initial offering period. If Units are redeemed prior to the close
of the initial offering period, the fee will not be deducted from the proceeds.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) Net asset value per Unit is calculated by dividing the Trust's net
assets by the number of Units outstanding. This figure includes organization costs and the creation and development fee, which will only
be assessed to Units outstanding at the earlier of six months after the Initial Date of Deposit or the end of the initial offering period
in the case of organization costs or the close of the initial offering period in the case of the creation and development fee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7) The aggregate cost to investors in the Trust includes a maximum sales charge
(comprised of an initial and a deferred sales charge and the creation and development fee) computed at the rate of 2.75% of the Public
Offering Price (equivalent to 2.75% of the net amount invested, exclusive of the deferred sales charge and the creation and development
fee), assuming no reduction of the maximum sales charge as set forth under "Public Offering."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) All Securities are represented by regular way contracts to purchase such
Securities which are backed by an irrevocable letter of credit deposited with the Trustee. The Sponsor entered into purchase contracts
for the Securities on June 24, 2026. Such purchase contracts are expected to settle within one business day.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) The cost of the Securities to the Trust represents the aggregate underlying
value with respect to the Securities acquired (generally determined by the closing sale prices of the listed Securities and the ask prices
of over-the-counter traded Securities at the Evaluation Time on the business day prior to the Initial Date of Deposit). The
cost of Securities to the Trust may not compute due to rounding the market value per share. The valuation of the Securities has
been determined by the Sponsor. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 820, "Fair
Value Measurement," the Trust's investments are classified as Level 1, which refers to securities traded in an active market.
The cost of the Securities to the Sponsor and the Sponsor's loss (which is the difference between the cost of the Securities
to the Sponsor and the cost of the Securities to the Trust) are $161,931 and $36, respectively.

**The FT Series**

**The FT Series Defined.**

We, First Trust Portfolios L.P. (the "Sponsor"), have created hundreds of similar yet separate series of a unit investment trust which we have named the FT Series. The series to which this prospectus relates, FT 13045, consists of a single portfolio known as U.S. Manufacturing Select, Series 1.

The Trust was created under the laws of the State of New York by a Trust Agreement (the "Indenture") dated the Initial Date of Deposit. This agreement, entered into among First Trust Portfolios L.P., as Sponsor, The Bank of New York Mellon as Trustee and First Trust Advisors L.P. as Portfolio Supervisor, governs the operation of the Trust.

You may get more specific details concerning the nature, structure and risks of this product in an "Information Supplement" by calling the Sponsor at 800–621–1675, dept. code 2.

**How We Created the Trust.**

On the Initial Date of Deposit, we deposited a portfolio of common stocks with the Trustee and, in turn, the Trustee delivered documents to us representing our ownership of the Trust in the form of units ("Units").

After the Initial Date of Deposit, we may deposit additional Securities in the Trust, or cash (including a letter of credit or the equivalent) with instructions to buy more Securities, to create new Units for sale. If we create additional Units, we will attempt, to the extent practicable, to maintain the percentage relationship established among the Securities on the Initial Date of Deposit (as set forth in "Schedule of Investments"), adjusted to reflect the sale, redemption or liquidation of any of the Securities or any stock split or a merger or other similar event affecting the issuer of the Securities.

Since the prices of the Securities will fluctuate daily, the ratio of Securities in the Trust, on a market value basis, will also change daily. The portion of Securities represented by each Unit will not change as a result of the deposit of additional Securities or cash in the Trust. If we deposit cash, you and new investors may experience a dilution of your investment. This is because prices of Securities will fluctuate between the time of the cash deposit and the purchase of the Securities, and because the Trust pays the associated brokerage fees. To reduce this dilution, the Trust will try to buy the Securities as close to the Evaluation Time and as close to the evaluation price as possible. In addition, because the Trust pays the brokerage fees associated with the creation of new Units and with the sale of Securities to meet redemption and exchange requests, frequent redemption and exchange activity will likely result in higher brokerage expenses.

An affiliate of the Trustee may receive these brokerage fees or the Trustee may retain and pay us (or our affiliate) to act as agent for the Trust to buy Securities. If we or an affiliate of ours act as agent to the Trust, we will be subject to the restrictions under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). When acting in an agency capacity, we may select various broker/dealers to execute securities transactions on behalf of the Trust, which may include broker/dealers who sell Units of the Trust. We do not consider sales of Units of the Trust or any other products sponsored by First Trust as a factor in selecting such broker/dealers.

We cannot guarantee that the Trust will keep its present size and composition for any length of time. Securities may be periodically sold under certain circumstances to satisfy Trust obligations, to meet redemption requests and, as described in "Removing Securities from the Trust," to maintain the sound investment character of the Trust, and the proceeds received by the Trust will be used to meet Trust obligations or distributed to Unit holders. However, Securities will not be sold to take advantage of market fluctuations or changes in anticipated rates of appreciation or depreciation, or if they no longer meet the criteria by which they were selected. You will not be able to dispose of or vote any of the Securities in the Trust. As the holder of the Securities, the Trustee will vote the Securities and, except as described in "Removing Securities from the Trust," will endeavor to vote the Securities such that the Securities are voted as closely as possible in the same manner and the same general proportion as are the Securities held by owners other than such Trust.

Neither we nor the Trustee will be liable for a failure in any of the Securities. However, if a contract for the purchase of any of the Securities initially deposited in the Trust fails, unless we can purchase substitute Securities ("Replacement Securities") we will refund to you that portion of the purchase price and transactional sales charge resulting from the failed contract on the next Income Account Distribution Date. Any Replacement Security the Trust acquires will be identical to those from the failed contract.

**Portfolio**

**Objective.**

The Trust seeks above-average capital appreciation. Under normal circumstances, the Trust will invest at least 80% of its assets in securities included in the Indxx US Manufacturing Index as of the Initial Date of Deposit. The Trust is concentrated (i.e., invests 25% or more of Trust assets) in common stocks of companies within the information technology sector.

**Portfolio Selection Process.**

The Trust seeks to invest in companies that produce goods within the United States and seeks to identify sectors and companies poised to benefit from favorable current government policy, growing demand, and rising investment in American manufacturing. Favorable current government policies may include tariffs on imported goods that make domestic alternatives more cost-competitive, tax policy changes that provide benefits to manufacturers, and industry specific subsidies, grants, and tax credits that incentivize industrial investment in critical industries. The portfolio includes companies in the Indxx US Manufacturing Index. The Indxx US Manufacturing Index is designed to capture the performance of companies across the American manufacturing sector. As of June 15, 2026, the Indxx US Manufacturing Index had a market capitalization range between $2 billion and $5.1 trillion.

Our selection process begins by selecting common stocks of companies listed on the Indxx US Manufacturing Index. The common stocks are evaluated based upon multiple factors designed to identify those common stocks that exhibit strong fundamental characteristics and to eliminate those that do not meet our investment criteria. Such factors include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Market capitalization greater than $5 billion;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Long-term debt to market value of equity (the ratio of a company's long-term borrowings to the
total value of its outstanding shares in the open market) less than 30%;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Return on invested capital (an assessment of a company's efficiency in allocating capital
to profitable investments) of at least 5%; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Cash flow analysis (an assessment of a company's cash inflows, cash outflows, and available
cash to evaluate its ability to fund operations, repay debt, and invest in future growth).

The final step in our process is to select companies based on the fundamental analysis conducted by our team of research analysts. The common stocks selected for the portfolio are those that meet our investment objective, trade at attractive valuations and, in our opinion, are likely to exceed market expectations of future cash flows.

"Indxx" and "Indxx US Manufacturing Index" are trademarks of Indxx, LLC and have been licensed for use for certain purposes by First Trust Advisors L.P. The portfolio is based on the Indxx US Manufacturing Index and is not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by Indxx, LLC, and Indxx, LLC makes no representation regarding the advisability of trading in such product.

While not a part of the Trust's portfolio selection process, the Trust also invests in dividend-paying securities and companies with various market capitalizations.

As with any similar investments, there can be no assurance that the objective of the Trust will be achieved. See "Risk Factors" for a discussion of the risks of investing in the Trust.

**Risk Factors**

**Price Volatility.** The Trust invests in common stocks. The value of the Trust's Units will fluctuate with changes in the value of these common stocks. Common stock prices fluctuate for several reasons including changes in investors' perceptions of the financial condition of an issuer or the general condition of the relevant stock market, such as market volatility, or when political or economic events affecting the issuers occur. In addition, common stock prices may be particularly sensitive to rising interest rates, as the cost of capital rises and borrowing costs increase, negatively impacting issuers.

Because the Trust is not managed, the Trustee will not sell stocks in response to or in anticipation of market fluctuations, as is common in managed investments. As with any investment, we cannot guarantee that the performance of the Trust will be positive over any period of time, or that you won't lose money. Units of the Trust are not deposits of any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

**Market Risk.** Market risk is the risk that a particular security, or Units of the Trust in general, may fall in value or underperform other investments. Securities are subject to market fluctuations caused by such factors as economic, political, regulatory or market developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in securities prices. The Federal Reserve has begun to lower interest rates and may continue to do so in the future. Potential future bank failures could result in disruption to the broader banking industry or markets generally and reduce confidence in financial institutions and the economy as a whole, which may also heighten market volatility and reduce liquidity. Additionally, challenges in commercial real estate markets, including declining valuations and elevated vacancies, could have a broader impact on financial markets. In addition, local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, spread of infectious diseases or other public health issues, recessions, political turbulence or other events could have a significant negative impact on the Trust and its investments. The ongoing adversarial political climate in the United States, as well as political and diplomatic events both domestic and abroad, have had and may continue to have an adverse impact on the U.S. regulatory landscape, markets and investor behavior, which could have a negative impact on the Trust's investments and operations. The change in administration resulting from the 2024 United States national elections could result in significant impacts to international trade relations, tax and immigration policies, and other aspects of the national and international political and financial landscape, which could affect, among other things, inflation and the securities markets generally. Administrative actions against companies in certain industries, such as the defense industry, prohibiting them from paying dividends or engaging in stock buybacks, may negatively impact the performance of such companies and the Trust's investments. Ongoing armed conflicts between Russia and Ukraine in Europe and among the United States, Israel, Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah and other militant groups in the Middle East, have caused and could continue to cause significant market disruptions and volatility within the markets in Russia, Europe, the Middle East, the United States, and other nations. Such events may also disrupt global trade and supply chains, increase sanctions and other governmental actions, and contribute to volatility in oil and natural gas markets. The hostilities and sanctions resulting from those hostilities could have a significant impact on certain Trust investments as well as Trust performance. The economies of the United States and its trading partners, as well as the financial markets generally, may be adversely impacted by trade disputes, including the imposition of tariffs, and other matters. A public health crisis, and the ensuing policies enacted by governments and central banks in response, could cause significant volatility and uncertainty in global financial markets, negatively impacting global growth prospects. Such events may affect certain geographic regions, countries, sectors and industries more significantly than others. Advancements in technology may also adversely impact markets and the overall performance of the Trust. For instance, the economy may be significantly impacted by the advanced development and increased regulation of artificial intelligence. Additionally, cybersecurity breaches of both government and non-government entities could have negative impacts on infrastructure and the ability of such entities, including the Trust, to operate properly. Such events could adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the Trust's portfolio securities and could result in disruptions in the trading markets. Any such circumstances could have a materially negative impact on the value of the Trust's Units and result in increased market volatility.

**Dividends.** Common stocks may pay dividends, but there is no guarantee that the issuers of the common stocks will declare dividends in the future or that, if declared, they will either remain at current levels or increase over time.

**Concentration Risk. When 25% or more of a trust's portfolio is invested in securities issued by companies within a single sector, the trust is considered to be concentrated in that particular sector. A portfolio concentrated in one or more sectors may present more risks than a portfolio broadly diversified over several sectors.**

The Trust is concentrated in common stocks of companies within the information technology sector.

**Information Technology.** Technology companies are generally subject to the risks of rapidly changing technologies; short product life cycles; fierce competition; aggressive pricing; frequent introduction of new or enhanced products; the loss of patent, copyright and trademark protections; cyclical market patterns; evolving industry standards; and frequent new product introductions. Technology companies may be smaller and less experienced companies, with limited product lines, markets or financial resources. Technology company stocks have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that are often unrelated to their operating performance. Also, the stocks of many Internet companies have exceptionally high price to earnings ratios with little or no earnings histories.

**Small and/or Mid Capitalization Companies**. Investing in stocks of small and/or mid capitalization companies may involve greater risk than investing in larger companies. For example, such companies may have limited product lines, as well as shorter operating histories, less experienced management and more limited financial resources than larger companies. Securities of such companies generally trade in lower volumes and are generally subject to greater and less predictable changes in price than securities of larger companies. In addition, small and mid-cap stocks may not be widely followed by the investment community, which may result in low demand.

**Large Capitalization Companies.** The return on investment in stocks of large capitalization companies may be less than the return on investment in stocks of small and/or mid capitalization companies. Large capitalization companies may also grow at a slower rate than the overall market.

**Cybersecurity Risk.** As the use of Internet technology has become more prevalent in the course of business, the Trust has become more susceptible to potential operational, information security and related risks through breaches in cybersecurity. A breach in cybersecurity refers to both intentional and unintentional events that may cause the Trust to lose proprietary information, suffer data corruption or lose operational capacity, any of which could result in a material adverse effect on the Trust or its Unit holders. Such events could cause the Sponsor of the Trust to incur regulatory penalties, reputational damage, additional compliance costs associated with corrective measures and/or financial loss. Cybersecurity breaches may involve unauthorized access to digital information systems utilized by the Trust through "hacking" or malicious software coding, but may also result from outside attacks such as denial-of service attacks through efforts to make network services unavailable to intended users. Emerging threats like ransomware or zero-day exploits could also cause disruptions to Trust operations. In addition, cybersecurity breaches of the Trust's third-party service providers, or issuers in which the Trust invests, can also subject the Trust to many of the same risks associated with direct cybersecurity breaches. Further, errors, misconduct, or compromise of accounts of employees of the Sponsor, Portfolio Supervisor or the Trust's third-party service providers can also create material cybersecurity risks. The Sponsor of, and third-party service provider to, the Trust have established risk management systems designed to reduce the risks associated with cybersecurity. However, there is no guarantee that such efforts will succeed, especially because the Trust does not directly control the cybersecurity systems of issuers or third-party service providers. Cybersecurity incidents may also trigger Trust obligations under data privacy laws, potentially increasing notification and compliance burdens. Cybersecurity incidents affecting issuers in whose securities the Trust invests may also have a negative impact on the value of the securities of such issuers, and in turn, the value of the Trust.

**Operational Risk.** The Trust is subject to risks arising from various operational factors, including, but not limited to, human error, processing and communication errors, errors of the Trust's service providers, counterparties or other third-parties, failed or inadequate processes and technology or systems failures. These errors or failures may adversely affect the Trust's operations, including its ability to execute its investment process, calculate or disseminate its NAV in a timely manner, and process purchases or redemptions. The Trust relies on third-parties for a range of services. Any delay or failure relating to engaging or maintaining such service providers may affect the Trust's ability to meet its investment objective. Although the Trust seeks to reduce these operational risks through controls and procedures, there is no way to completely protect against such risks.

**Legislation/Litigation.** From time to time, various legislative initiatives are proposed in the United States and abroad which may have a negative impact on certain of the companies represented in the Trust. In addition, litigation regarding any of the issuers of the Securities, or the industries represented by these issuers, may negatively impact the value of these Securities. We cannot predict what impact any pending or proposed legislation or pending or threatened litigation will have on the value of the Securities.

**Public Offering**

**The Public Offering Price.**

Units will be purchased at the Public Offering Price, the price per Unit of which is comprised of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The aggregate underlying value of the Securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The amount of any cash in the Income and Capital Accounts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Dividends receivable on Securities; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The maximum sales charge (which combines an initial upfront sales charge, a deferred sales charge
and the creation and development fee).

The price you pay for your Units will differ from the amount stated under "Summary of Essential Information" due to various factors, including fluctuations in the prices of the Securities and changes in the value of the Income and/or Capital Accounts.

Although you are not required to pay for your Units until one business day following your order (the "date of settlement"), you may pay before then. You will become the owner of Units ("Record Owner") on the date of settlement if payment has been received. If you pay for your Units before the date of settlement, we may use your payment during this time and it may be considered a benefit to us, subject to the limitations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

**Organization Costs.** Securities purchased with the portion of the Public Offering Price intended to be used to reimburse the Sponsor for the Trust's organization costs (including costs of preparing the registration statement, the Indenture and other closing documents, registering Units with the SEC and states, licensing fees required for the establishment of the Trust under license agreements which provide for full payment of the licensing fees not later than the conclusion of the organization expense period, the initial audit of the Trust's statement of net assets, legal fees and the initial fees and expenses of the Trustee) will be purchased in the same proportionate relationship as all the Securities contained in the Trust. Securities will be sold to reimburse the Sponsor for the Trust's organization costs at the earlier of six months after the Initial Date of Deposit or the end of the initial offering period (a significantly shorter time period than the life of the Trust). During the period ending with the earlier of six months after the Initial Date of Deposit or the end of the initial offering period, there may be a decrease in the value of the Securities. To the extent the proceeds from the sale of these Securities are insufficient to repay the Sponsor for Trust organization costs, the Trustee will sell additional Securities to allow the Trust to fully reimburse the Sponsor. In that event, the net asset value per Unit of the Trust will be reduced by the amount of additional Securities sold. Although the dollar amount of the reimbursement due to the Sponsor will remain fixed and will never exceed the per Unit amount set forth for the Trust in "Notes to Statement of Net Assets," this will result in a greater effective cost per Unit to Unit holders for the reimbursement to the Sponsor. To the extent actual organization costs are less than the estimated amount, only the actual organization costs will ultimately be charged to the Trust. When Securities are sold to reimburse the Sponsor for organization costs, the Trustee will sell Securities, to the extent practicable, which will maintain the same proportionate relationship among the Securities contained in the Trust as existed prior to such sale.

**Minimum Purchase.**

The minimum amount per account you can purchase of the Trust is generally $1,000 worth of Units ($500 if you are purchasing Units for your Individual Retirement Account or any other qualified retirement plan), but such amounts may vary depending on your selling firm.

**Maximum Sales Charge.**

The maximum sales charge of 2.75% per Unit is comprised of a transactional sales charge and a creation and development fee. After the initial offering period the maximum sales charge will be reduced by 0.50%, to reflect the amount of the previously charged creation and development fee.

**Transactional Sales Charge.**

The transactional sales charge you will pay has both an initial and a deferred component.

**Initial Sales Charge.** The initial sales charge, which you will pay at the time of purchase, is equal to the difference between the maximum sales charge of 2.75% of the Public Offering Price and the sum of the maximum remaining deferred sales charge and creation and development fee (initially $.275 per Unit). On the Initial Date of Deposit, and any other day the Public Offering Price per Unit equals $10.00, there is no initial sales charge. Thereafter, you will pay an initial sales charge when the Public Offering Price per Unit exceeds $10.00 and as deferred sales charge and creation and development fee payments are made.

**Monthly Deferred Sales Charge.** In addition, three monthly deferred sales charges of $.075 per Unit will be deducted from the Trust's assets on approximately the twentieth day of each month from October 20, 2026 through December 18, 2026. If you buy Units at a price of less than $10.00 per Unit, the dollar amount of the deferred sales charge will not change, but the deferred sales charge on a percentage basis will be more than 2.25% of the Public Offering Price.

If you purchase Units after the last deferred sales charge payment has been assessed, your transactional sales charge will consist of a one-time initial sales charge of 2.25% of the Public Offering Price (equivalent to 2.302% of the net amount invested).

**Creation and Development Fee.**

As Sponsor, we will also receive, and the Unit holders will pay, a creation and development fee. See "Expenses and Charges" for a description of the services provided for this fee. The creation and development fee is a charge of $.050 per Unit collected at the end of the initial offering period. If you buy Units at a price of less than $10.00 per Unit, the dollar amount of the creation and development fee will not change, but the creation and development fee on a percentage basis will be more than 0.50% of the Public Offering Price.

**Discounts for Certain Persons.**

The maximum sales charge is 2.75% per Unit and the maximum dealer concession is 2.00% per Unit.

If you are purchasing Units for an investment account, the terms of which provide that your registered investment advisor or registered broker/dealer (a) charges periodic fees in lieu of commissions; (b) charges for financial planning, investment advisory or asset management services; or (c) charges a comprehensive "wrap fee" or similar fee for these or comparable services ("Fee Accounts"), you will not be assessed the transactional sales charge described above on such purchases. These Units will be designated as Fee Account Units and, depending upon the purchase instructions we receive, assigned either a Fee Account Cash CUSIP Number, if you elect to have distributions paid to you, or a Fee Account Reinvestment CUSIP Number, if you elect to have distributions reinvested into additional Units of the Trust. Certain Fee Account Unit holders may be assessed transaction or other account fees on the purchase and/or redemption of such Units by their registered investment advisor, broker/dealer or other processing organizations for providing certain transaction or account activities. Fee Account Units are not available for purchase in the secondary market. We reserve the right to limit or deny purchases of Units not subject to the transactional sales charge by investors whose frequent trading activity we determine to be detrimental to the Trust.

Employees, officers and directors (and immediate family members) of the Sponsor, our related companies, and dealers and their affiliates will purchase Units at the Public Offering Price less the applicable dealer concession, subject to the policies of the related selling firm. Immediate family members include spouses, or the equivalent if recognized under local law, children or step-children under the age of 21 living in the same household, parents or step-parents and trustees, custodians or fiduciaries for the benefit of such persons. Only employees, officers and directors of companies that allow their employees to participate in this employee discount program are eligible for the discounts.

You will be charged the deferred sales charge per Unit regardless of the price you pay for your Units or whether you are eligible to receive any discounts. However, if the purchase price of your Units was less than $10.00 per Unit or if you are eligible to receive a discount such that the maximum sales charge you must pay is less than the applicable maximum deferred sales charge, including Fee Account Units, you will be credited additional Units with a dollar value equal to the difference between your maximum sales charge and the maximum deferred sales charge at the time you buy your Units. If you elect to have distributions reinvested into additional Units of the Trust, in addition to the reinvestment Units you receive you will also be credited additional Units with a dollar value at the time of reinvestment sufficient to cover the amount of any remaining deferred sales charge and creation and development fee to be collected on such reinvestment Units. The dollar value of these additional credited Units (as with all Units) will fluctuate over time, and may be less on the dates deferred sales charges or the creation and development fee are collected than their value at the time they were issued.

**The Value of the Securities.**

The Sponsor will determine the aggregate underlying value of the Securities in the Trust as of the Evaluation Time on each business day and will adjust the Public Offering Price of the Units according to this valuation. This Public Offering Price will be effective for all orders received before the Evaluation Time on each such day. If we or the Trustee receive orders for purchases, sales or redemptions after that time, or on a day which is not a business day, they will be held until the next determination of price. The term "business day" as used in this prospectus shall mean any day on which the NYSE is open. For purposes of Securities and Unit settlement, the term business day does not include days on which U.S. financial institutions are closed.

The aggregate underlying value of the Securities in the Trust will be determined as follows: if the Securities are listed on a national or foreign securities exchange or Nasdaq, Inc., their value shall generally be based on the closing sale price on the exchange or system which is the principal market therefore ("Primary Exchange"), which shall be deemed to be the NYSE if the Securities are listed thereon (unless the Sponsor deems such price inappropriate as the basis for evaluation). In the event a closing sale price on the Primary Exchange is not published, the Securities will be valued based on the last trade price on the Primary Exchange. If no trades occur on the Primary Exchange for a specific trade date, the value will be based on the closing sale price from, in the opinion of the Sponsor, an appropriate secondary exchange, if any. If no trades occur on the Primary Exchange or any appropriate secondary exchange on a specific trade date, the Sponsor will determine the value of the Securities using the best information available to the Sponsor, which may include the prior day's evaluated price. If the Security is an American Depositary Receipt/ADR, Global Depositary Receipt/GDR or other similar security in which no trade occurs on the Primary Exchange or any appropriate secondary exchange on a specific trade date, the value will be based on the evaluated price of the underlying security, determined as set forth above, after applying the appropriate ADR/GDR ratio, the exchange rate and such other information which the Sponsor deems appropriate. For purposes of valuing Securities traded on Nasdaq, Inc., closing sale price shall mean the Nasdaq<sup>®</sup> Official Closing Price as determined by Nasdaq, Inc. If the Securities are not so listed or, if so listed and the principal market therefore is other than on the Primary Exchange or any appropriate secondary exchange, the value shall generally be based on the current ask price on the over-the-counter market (unless the Sponsor deems such price inappropriate as a basis for evaluation). If current ask prices are unavailable, the value is generally determined (a) on the basis of current ask prices for comparable securities, (b) by appraising the value of the Securities on the ask side of the market, or (c) any combination of the above. If such prices are in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the value of such Security shall be converted to U.S. dollars based on current exchange rates (unless the Sponsor deems such prices inappropriate as a basis for evaluation). If the Sponsor deems a price determined as set forth above to be inappropriate as the basis for evaluation, the Sponsor shall use such other information available to the Sponsor which it deems appropriate as the basis for determining the value of a Security.

After the initial offering period is over, the aggregate underlying value of the Securities will be determined as set forth above, except that bid prices are used instead of ask prices when necessary.

**Distribution of Units**

We intend to qualify Units of the Trust for sale in a number of states. All Units will be sold at the then current Public Offering Price.

The Sponsor compensates intermediaries, such as broker/dealers and banks, for their activities that are intended to result in sales of Units of the Trust. This compensation includes dealer concessions described in the following section and may include additional concessions and other compensation and benefits to broker/dealers and other intermediaries.

**Dealer Concessions.**

Dealers and other selling agents can purchase Units at prices which represent a concession or agency commission of 2.00% of the Public Offering Price per Unit, subject to reductions set forth in "Public Offering—Discounts for Certain Persons."

Eligible dealer firms and other selling agents who, during the previous consecutive 12-month period through the end of the most recent month, sold primary market units of unit investment trusts sponsored by us in the dollar amounts shown below will be entitled to up to the following additional sales concession on primary market sales of units during the current month of unit investment trusts sponsored by us:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Total sales <br> (in millions)** | **Additional<br> Concession** |
| $25 but less than $100 | 0.035% |
| $100 but less than $150 | 0.050% |
| $150 but less than $250 | 0.075% |
| $250 but less than $1,000 | 0.100% |
| $1,000 but less than $5,000 | 0.125% |
| $5,000 but less than $7,500 | 0.150% |
| $7,500 or more | 0.175% |

---

Dealers and other selling agents will not receive a concession on the sale of Units which are not subject to a transactional sales charge, but such Units will be included in determining whether the above volume sales levels are met. Eligible dealer firms and other selling agents include clearing firms that place orders with First Trust and provide First Trust with information with respect to the representatives who initiated such transactions. Eligible dealer firms and other selling agents will not include firms that solely provide clearing services to other broker/dealer firms or firms who place orders through clearing firms that are eligible dealers. We reserve the right to change the amount of concessions or agency commissions from time to time. Certain commercial banks may be making Units of the Trust available to their customers on an agency basis. A portion of the transactional sales charge paid by these customers is kept by or given to the banks in the amounts shown above.

**Other Compensation and Benefits to Broker/Dealers.**

The Sponsor, at its own expense and out of its own profits, currently provides additional compensation and benefits to broker/dealers who sell Units of this Trust and other First Trust products. This compensation is intended to result in additional sales of First Trust products and/or compensate broker/dealers and financial advisors for past sales. A number of factors are considered in determining whether to pay these additional amounts. Such factors may include, but are not limited to, the level or type of services provided by the intermediary, the level or expected level of sales of First Trust products by the intermediary or its agents, the placing of First Trust products on a preferred or recommended product list, access to an intermediary's personnel, and other factors. The Sponsor makes these payments for marketing, promotional or related expenses, including, but not limited to, expenses of entertaining retail customers and financial advisers, advertising, sponsorship of events or seminars, obtaining information about the breakdown of unit sales among an intermediary's representatives or offices, obtaining shelf space in broker/dealer firms and similar activities designed to promote the sale of the Sponsor's products. The Sponsor makes such payments to a substantial majority of intermediaries that sell First Trust products. The Sponsor may also make certain payments to, or on behalf of, intermediaries to defray a portion of their costs incurred for the purpose of facilitating Unit sales, such as the costs of developing or purchasing trading systems to process Unit trades. Payments of such additional compensation described in this and the preceding paragraph, some of which may be characterized as "revenue sharing," create a conflict of interest by influencing financial intermediaries and their agents to sell or recommend a First Trust product, including the Trust, over products offered by other sponsors or fund companies. These arrangements will not change the price you pay for your Units.

**Advertising and Investment Comparisons.**

Advertising materials regarding the Trust may discuss several topics, including: developing a long-term financial plan; working with your financial professional; the nature and risks of various investment strategies and unit investment trusts that could help you reach your financial goals; the importance of discipline; how the Trust operates; how securities are selected; various unit investment trust features such as convenience and costs; and options available for certain types of unit investment trusts. These materials may include descriptions of the principal businesses of the companies represented in the Trust, research analysis of why they were selected and information relating to the qualifications of the persons or entities providing the research analysis. In addition, they may include research opinions on the economy and industry sectors included and a list of investment products generally appropriate for pursuing those recommendations.

From time to time we may compare the estimated returns of the Trust (which may show performance net of the expenses and charges the Trust would have incurred) and returns over specified periods of other similar trusts we sponsor in our advertising and sales materials, with (1) returns on other taxable investments such as the common stocks comprising various market indexes, corporate or U.S. Government bonds, bank CDs and money market accounts or funds, (2) performance data from Morningstar, Inc. or (3) information from publications such as *Money*, *The New York Times*, *U.S. News and World Report*, *Bloomberg Businessweek*, *Forbes* or *Fortune*. The investment characteristics of the Trust differ from other comparative investments. You should not assume that these performance comparisons will be representative of the Trust's future performance. We may also, from time to time, use advertising which classifies trusts or portfolio securities according to capitalization and/or investment style.

**The Sponsor's Profits**

We will receive a gross sales commission equal to the maximum transactional sales charge per Unit less any reduction as stated in "Public Offering." We will also receive the amount of any collected creation and development fee. Also, any difference between our cost to purchase the Securities and the price at which we sell them to the Trust is considered a profit or loss (see Note 2 of "Notes to Schedule of Investments"). During the initial offering period, dealers and others may also realize profits or sustain losses as a result of fluctuations in the Public Offering Price they receive when they sell the Units.

In maintaining a market for the Units, any difference between the price at which we purchase Units and the price at which we sell or redeem them will be a profit or loss to us.

**The Secondary Market**

Although not obligated, we may maintain a market for the Units after the initial offering period and continuously offer to purchase Units at prices based on the Redemption Price per Unit.

We will pay all expenses to maintain a secondary market, except fees to value Trust Securities and Trustee costs to transfer and record the ownership of Units. We may discontinue purchases of Units at any time. **If you wish to dispose of your Units, you should ask us for the current market prices before making a tender for redemption to the Trustee.** If you sell or redeem your Units before you have paid the total deferred sales charge on your Units, you will have to pay the remainder at that time.

**How We Purchase Units**

The Trustee will notify us of any tender of Units for redemption. If our bid at that time is equal to or greater than the Redemption Price per Unit, we may purchase the Units. You will receive your proceeds from the sale no later than if they were redeemed by the Trustee. We may tender Units that we hold to the Trustee for redemption as any other Units. If we elect not to purchase Units, the Trustee may sell tendered Units in the over-the-counter market, if any. However, the amount you will receive is the same as you would have received on redemption of the Units.

**Expenses and Charges**

The estimated annual expenses of the Trust are listed under "Fee Table." If actual expenses of the Trust exceed the estimate, the Trust will bear the excess. The Trustee will pay operating expenses of the Trust from the Income Account of the Trust if funds are available, and then from the Capital Account. The Income and Capital Accounts are non-interest-bearing to Unit holders, so the Trustee may earn interest on these funds, thus benefiting from their use.

First Trust Advisors L.P., an affiliate of ours, acts as Portfolio Supervisor and will be compensated for providing portfolio supervisory services as well as bookkeeping and other administrative services to the Trust. In providing portfolio supervisory services, the Portfolio Supervisor may purchase research services from a number of sources, which may include underwriters or dealers of the Trust. As Sponsor, we will be compensated for providing evaluation services and we will receive brokerage fees when the Trust uses us (or an affiliate of ours) as agent in buying or selling Securities. As authorized by the Indenture, the Trustee may employ a subsidiary or affiliate of the Trustee to act as broker to execute certain transactions for the Trust. The Trust will pay for such services at standard commission rates.

The fees payable to the Sponsor, First Trust Advisors L.P. and the Trustee are based on the largest aggregate number of Units of the Trust outstanding at any time during the calendar year, except during the initial offering period, in which case these fees are calculated based on the largest number of Units outstanding during the period for which compensation is paid. These fees may be adjusted for inflation without Unit holders' approval, but in no case will the annual fees paid to us or our affiliates for providing services to all unit investment trusts be more than the actual cost of providing such services in such year.

As Sponsor, we will receive a fee from the Trust for creating and developing the Trust, including determining the Trust's objectives, policies, composition and size, selecting service providers and information services and for providing other similar administrative and ministerial functions. The "creation and development fee" is a charge of $.050 per Unit outstanding at the end of the initial offering period. The Trustee will deduct this amount from the Trust's assets as of the close of the initial offering period. We do not use this fee to pay distribution expenses or as compensation for sales efforts. This fee will not be deducted from your proceeds if you sell or redeem your Units before the end of the initial offering period.

In addition to the Trust's operating expenses and those fees described above, the Trust may also incur the following charges:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• All legal expenses of the Trustee according to its responsibilities under the Indenture;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The expenses and costs incurred by the Trustee to protect the Trust and your rights and interests
(i.e., participating in litigation concerning a portfolio security) and the costs of indemnifying the Trustee;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Fees for any extraordinary services the Trustee performed under the Indenture;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Payment for any loss, liability or expense the Trustee incurred without negligence, bad faith
or willful misconduct on its part, in connection with its acceptance or administration of the Trust;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Payment for any loss, liability or expenses we incurred without negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct in acting as Sponsor of the Trust;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Foreign custodial and transaction fees (which may include compensation paid to the Trustee or
its subsidiaries or affiliates), if any; and/or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• All taxes and other government charges imposed upon the Securities or any part of the Trust.

The above expenses and the Trustee's annual fee are secured by a lien on the Trust. In addition, if there is not enough cash in the Income or Capital Account, the Trustee has the power to sell Securities to make cash available to pay these charges which may result in capital gains or losses to you. See "Tax Status."

**Tax Status**

**Federal Tax Matters.**

This section discusses some of the main U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning Units of the Trust as of the date of this prospectus. Tax laws and interpretations change frequently, and this summary does not describe all of the tax consequences to all taxpayers. For example, this summary generally does not describe your situation if you are a broker/dealer or other investor with special circumstances. In addition, this section may not describe your state, local or non-U.S. tax consequences.

This federal income tax summary is based in part on the advice of counsel to the Sponsor. The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") could disagree with any conclusions set forth in this section. In addition, our counsel may not have been asked to review, and may not have reached a conclusion with respect to the federal income tax treatment of the assets to be deposited in the Trust. This summary may not be sufficient for you to use for the purpose of avoiding penalties under federal tax law.

As with any investment, you should seek advice based on your individual circumstances from your own tax advisor.

**Trust Status.**

Unit investment trusts maintain both Income and Capital Accounts, regardless of tax structure. Please refer to the "Income and Capital Distributions" section of the prospectus for more information.

The Trust intends to qualify as a "regulated investment company," commonly known as a "RIC," under the federal tax laws. If the Trust qualifies as a RIC and distributes its income as required by the tax law, the Trust generally will not pay federal income taxes. For federal income tax purposes, you are treated as the owner of the Trust Units and not of the assets held by the Trust.

**Income from the Trust.**

Trust distributions are generally taxable. After the end of each year, you will receive a tax statement that separates the Trust's distributions into ordinary income dividends, capital gain dividends and return of capital. Income reported is generally net of expenses (but see "Treatment of Trust Expenses" below). Ordinary income dividends are generally taxed at your ordinary income tax rate, however, certain dividends received from the Trust may be taxed at the capital gains tax rates. Generally, all capital gain dividends are treated as long-term capital gains regardless of how long you have owned your Units. In addition, the Trust may make distributions that represent a return of capital for tax purposes and will generally not be currently taxable to you, although they generally reduce your tax basis in your Units and thus increase your taxable gain or decrease your loss when you dispose of your Units. The tax laws may require you to treat distributions made to you in January as if you had received them on December 31 of the previous year.

Some distributions from the Trust may qualify as long-term capital gains, which, if you are an individual, is generally taxed at a lower rate than your ordinary income and short-term capital gain income. The distributions from the Trust that you must take into account for federal income tax purposes are not reduced by the amount used to pay a deferred sales charge, if any. Distributions from the Trust, including capital gains, may also be subject to a "Medicare tax" if your adjusted gross income exceeds certain threshold amounts.

**Certain Stock Dividends.**

Ordinary income dividends received by an individual Unit holder from a RIC such as the Trust are generally taxed at the same rates that apply to long-term capital gains, provided certain holding period requirements are satisfied and provided the dividends are attributable to qualifying dividend income ("QDI") received by the Trust itself. Dividends that do not meet these requirements will generally be taxed at ordinary income tax rates. After the end of the tax year, the Trust will provide a tax statement to its Unit holders reporting the amount of any distribution which may be taken into account as a dividend which is eligible for the capital gains tax rates.

Unit holders that are corporations may be eligible for the dividends received deduction with respect to certain ordinary income dividends on Units that are attributable to qualifying dividends received by the Trust from certain corporations.

**Sale of Units.**

If you sell your Units (whether to a third party or to the Trust), you will generally recognize a taxable gain or loss. To determine the amount of this gain or loss, you must subtract your (adjusted) tax basis in your Units from the amount you receive from the sale. Your original tax basis in your Units is generally equal to the cost of your Units, including sales charges. In some cases, however, you may have to adjust your tax basis after you purchase your Units, in which case your gain would be calculated using your adjusted basis.

The tax statement you receive in regard to the sale or redemption of your Units may contain information about your basis in the Units and whether any gain or loss recognized by you should be considered long-term or short-term capital gain. The information reported to you is based upon rules that do not take into consideration all of the facts that may be known to you or to your advisors. You should consult with your tax advisor about any adjustments that may need to be made to the information reported to you in determining the amount of your gain or loss.

**Distribution Reinvestment Option.**

If you elect to reinvest your distributions into additional Units, you will be treated as if you have received your distribution in an amount equal to the distribution you are entitled to. Your tax liability will be the same as if you received the distribution in cash. Also, the reinvestment would generally be considered a purchase of new Units for federal income tax purposes.

**Treatment of Trust Expenses.**

Expenses incurred and deducted by the Trust will generally not be treated as income taxable to you. In some cases, however, you may be required to treat your portion of these Trust expenses as income. You may not be able to take a deduction for some or all of these expenses even if the cash you receive is reduced by such expenses.

**Investments in Certain Non-U.S. Corporations.**

A foreign corporation will generally be treated as a passive foreign investment company ("PFIC") if 75% or more of its income is passive income or if 50% or more of its assets are held to produce passive income. If the Trust holds an equity interest in PFICs, the Trust could be subject to U.S. federal income tax and additional interest charges on gains and certain distributions from the PFICs, even if all the income or gain is distributed in a timely fashion to the Trust Unit holders. The Trust will not be able to pass through to its Unit holders any credit or deduction for such taxes if the taxes are imposed at the Trust level. The Trust may be able to make an election that could limit the tax imposed on the Trust. In this case, the Trust would recognize as ordinary income any increase in the value of such PFIC shares, and as ordinary loss any decrease in such value to the extent it did not exceed prior increases included in income.

Under this election, the Trust might be required to recognize income in excess of its distributions from the PFICs and its proceeds from dispositions of PFIC stock during that year, and such income would nevertheless be subject to the distribution requirement and would be taken into account for purposes of determining the application of the 4% excise tax imposed on RICs that do not meet certain distribution thresholds. Dividends paid by PFICs are not treated as QDI to shareholders of the PFICs.

**Non-U.S. Investors.**

If you are a non-U.S. investor, distributions from the Trust treated as dividends will generally be subject to a U.S. withholding tax of 30% of the distribution. Certain dividends, such as capital gains dividends and short-term capital gains dividends, may not be subject to U.S. withholding taxes. In addition, some non-U.S. investors may be eligible for a reduction or elimination of U.S. withholding taxes under a treaty. However, the qualification for those exclusions may not be known at the time of the distribution and some excluded income may be taken into consideration for alternative minimum tax purposes.

Separately, the United States, pursuant to the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act ("FATCA") imposes a 30% tax on certain non-U.S. entities that receive U.S. source interest or dividends if the non-U.S. entity does not comply with certain U.S. disclosure and reporting requirements. This FATCA tax also currently applies to the gross proceeds from the disposition of securities that produce U.S. source interest or dividends. However, proposed regulations may eliminate the requirement to withhold on payments of gross proceeds from dispositions.

It is the responsibility of the entity through which you hold your Units to determine the applicable withholding.

**Foreign Tax Credit.**

If the Trust directly or indirectly invests in non-U.S. stocks, the tax statement that you receive may include an item showing foreign taxes the Trust paid to other countries. You may be able to deduct or receive a tax credit for your share of these taxes. The Trust would have to meet certain IRS requirements in order to pass through credits to you.

**In-Kind Distributions.**

If permitted by this prospectus, as described in "Redeeming Your Units," you may request an In-Kind Distribution of Trust assets when you redeem your Units. This distribution is subject to tax, and you will generally recognize gain or loss, generally based on the value at that time of the securities and the amount of cash received.

You should consult your tax advisor regarding potential foreign, state or local taxation with respect to your Units.

**Retirement Plans**

You may purchase Units of the Trust for:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Individual Retirement Accounts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Keogh Plans;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Pension funds; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Other tax-deferred retirement plans.

Generally, the federal income tax on capital gains and income received in each of the above plans is deferred until you receive distributions. These distributions are generally treated as ordinary income but may, in some cases, be eligible for special averaging or tax-deferred rollover treatment. Before participating in a plan like this, you should review the tax laws regarding these plans and consult your attorney or tax advisor. Brokerage firms and other financial institutions offer these plans with varying fees and charges.

**Rights of Unit Holders**

**Unit Ownership.**

Ownership of Units will not be evidenced by certificates. If you purchase or hold Units through a broker/dealer or bank, your ownership of Units will be recorded in book-entry form at the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") and credited on its records to your broker/dealer's or bank's DTC account. Transfer of Units will be accomplished by book entries made by DTC and its participants if the Units are registered to DTC or its nominee, Cede & Co. DTC will forward all notices and credit all payments received in respect of the Units held by the DTC participants. You will receive written confirmation of your purchases and sales of Units from the broker/dealer or bank through which you made the transaction. You may transfer your Units by contacting the broker/dealer or bank through which you hold your Units.

**Unit Holder Reports.**

The Trustee will prepare a statement detailing the per Unit amounts (if any) distributed from the Income Account and Capital Account in connection with each distribution. In addition, at the end of each calendar year, the Trustee will prepare a statement which contains the following information:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A summary of transactions in the Trust for the year;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A list of any Securities sold during the year and the Securities held at the end of that year
by the Trust;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Redemption Price per Unit, computed on the 31st day of December of such year (or the last
business day before); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Amounts of income and capital distributed during the year.

By February 15th yearly, the Annual Reports are posted to the Sponsor's website (www.ftportfolios.com) in the UIT Tax Center and retrievable by CUSIP. You may also request one be sent to you by calling the Sponsor at 800–621–1675, dept. code 2. In addition, you may also request from the Trustee copies of the evaluations of the Securities as prepared by the Sponsor to enable you to comply with applicable federal and state tax reporting requirements.

**Income and Capital Distributions**

You will be eligible to receive distributions, if any, on your Units only after you become a Record Owner. The Trustee will credit dividends received on the Trust's Securities to the Income Account of the Trust. All other receipts, such as return of capital or capital gain dividends, are credited to the Capital Account of the Trust. Dividends received on foreign Securities, if any, are converted into U.S. dollars at the applicable exchange rate.

The Trustee will distribute money from the Income Account, as determined at the semi-annual Income Account Distribution Record Date, semi-annually on the twenty-fifth day of each June and December to Unit holders of record on the tenth day of such months provided the amount equals at least $1.00 per 100 Units. No Income Account distribution will be paid if accrued expenses of the Trust exceed amounts in the Income Account on the Income Account Distribution Dates. Distribution amounts will vary with changes in the Trust's fees and expenses, in dividends received and with the sale of Securities. The Trustee will distribute money in the Capital Account monthly on the twenty-fifth day of each month to Unit holders of record on the tenth day of such month if the amount available for distribution from that account equals at least $1.00 per 100 Units. In any case, the Trustee may distribute funds in the Capital Account in December of each year to avoid imposition of any income or excise taxes on undistributed income in the Trust and will distribute funds as part of the final liquidation distribution.

If an Income or Capital Account distribution date is a day on which the NYSE is closed, the distribution will be made on the next day the stock exchange is open. Distributions are paid to Unit holders of record determined as of the close of business on the Record Date for that distribution or, if the Record Date is a day on which the NYSE is closed, the first preceding day on which the exchange is open.

We anticipate that there will be enough money in the Capital Account of the Trust to pay the deferred sales charge to the Sponsor. If not, the Trustee may sell Securities to meet the shortfall.

Within a reasonable time after the Trust is terminated, you will receive a pro rata share of the money from the sale of the Securities and amounts in the Income and Capital Accounts. All Unit holders will receive a pro rata share of any other assets remaining in your Trust, after deducting any unpaid expenses.

The Trustee may establish reserves (the "Reserve Account") within the Trust to cover anticipated state and local taxes or any governmental charges to be paid out of the Trust.

**Distribution Reinvestment Option.** You may elect to have each distribution of income and/or capital reinvested into additional Units of the Trust by notifying your broker/dealer or bank within the time period required by such entities so that they can notify the Trustee of your election at least 10 days before any Record Date. Each later distribution of income and/or capital on your Units will be reinvested by the Trustee into additional Units of such Trust. There is no sales charge on Units acquired through the Distribution Reinvestment Option, as discussed under "Public Offering." This option may not be available in all states. Each reinvestment plan is subject to availability or limitation by the Sponsor and each broker/dealer or selling firm. The Sponsor or broker/dealers may suspend or terminate the offering of a reinvestment plan at any time. Because the Trust may begin selling Securities nine business days prior to the Mandatory Termination Date, reinvestment is not available during this period. Please contact your financial professional for additional information. **Please note that even if you reinvest distributions, they are still considered distributions for income tax purposes.**

**Redeeming Your Units**

You may redeem all or a portion of your Units at any time by sending a request for redemption to your broker/dealer or bank through which you hold your Units. No redemption fee will be charged, but you are responsible for any governmental charges that apply. Certain broker/dealers may charge a transaction fee for processing redemption requests. One business day after the day you tender your Units (the "Date of Tender") you will receive cash in an amount for each Unit equal to the Redemption Price per Unit calculated at the Evaluation Time on the Date of Tender.

The Date of Tender is considered to be the date on which your redemption request is received by the Trustee from the broker/dealer or bank through which you hold your Units (if such day is a day the NYSE is open for trading). However, if the redemption request is received after 4:00 p.m. Eastern time (or after any earlier closing time on a day on which the NYSE is scheduled in advance to close at such earlier time), the Date of Tender is the next day the NYSE is open for trading.

Any amounts paid on redemption representing income will be withdrawn from the Income Account if funds are available for that purpose, or from the Capital Account. All other amounts paid on redemption will be taken from the Capital Account.

If you tender for redemption at least 2,500 Units, or such larger amount as required by your broker/dealer or bank, rather than receiving cash, you may elect to receive an In-Kind Distribution in an amount equal to the Redemption Price per Unit by making this request to your broker/dealer or bank at the time of tender. However, to be eligible to participate in the In-Kind Distribution option at redemption, Unit holders must hold their Units through the end of the initial offering period. No In-Kind Distribution requests submitted during the 10 business days prior to the Trust's Mandatory Termination Date will be honored. Where possible, the Trustee will make an In-Kind Distribution by distributing each of the Securities in book-entry form to your bank's or broker/dealer's account at DTC. The Trustee will subtract any customary transfer and registration charges from your In-Kind Distribution. As a tendering Unit holder, you will receive your pro rata number of whole shares of Securities that make up the portfolio, and cash from the Capital Account equal to the fractional shares to which you are entitled.

If you elect to receive an In-Kind Distribution of Securities, you should be aware that it will be considered a taxable event at the time you receive the Securities. See "Tax Status" for additional information.

The Trustee may sell Securities to make funds available for redemption. If Securities are sold, the size and diversification of the Trust will be reduced. These sales may result in lower prices than if the Securities were sold at a different time.

Your right to redeem Units (and therefore, your right to receive payment) may be delayed:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If the NYSE is closed (other than customary weekend and holiday closings);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If the SEC determines that trading on the NYSE is restricted or that an emergency exists making
sale or evaluation of the Securities not reasonably practical; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For any other period permitted by SEC order.

The Trustee is not liable to any person for any loss or damage which may result from such a suspension or postponement.

**The Redemption Price.**

The Redemption Price per Unit is determined by the Trustee by:

adding

1. cash in the Income and Capital Accounts of the Trust not designated to purchase Securities;

2. the aggregate underlying value of the Securities held in the Trust; and

3. dividends receivable on the Securities trading ex-dividend as of the date of computation; and

deducting

1. any applicable taxes or governmental charges that need to be paid out of the Trust;

2. any amounts owed to the Trustee for its advances;

3. estimated accrued expenses of the Trust, if any;

4. cash held for distribution to Unit holders of record of the Trust as of the business day before
the evaluation being made;

5. liquidation costs for foreign Securities, if any; and

6. other liabilities incurred by the Trust; and

dividing

1. the result by the number of outstanding Units of the Trust.

Any remaining deferred sales charge on the Units when you redeem them will be deducted from your redemption proceeds. In addition, until they are collected, the Redemption Price per Unit will include estimated organization costs as set forth under "Fee Table."

**Removing Securities from the Trust**

The portfolio of the Trust is not managed. However, we may, but are not required to, direct the Trustee to dispose of a Security in certain limited circumstances, including situations in which:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The issuer of the Security defaults in the payment of a declared dividend;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Any action or proceeding prevents the payment of dividends;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• There is any legal question or impediment affecting the Security;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The issuer of the Security has breached a covenant which would affect the payment of dividends,
the issuer's credit standing, or otherwise damage the sound investment character of the Security;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The issuer has defaulted on the payment of any other of its outstanding obligations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• There has been a public tender offer made for a Security or a merger or acquisition is announced
affecting a Security, and that in our opinion the sale or tender of the Security is in the best interest of Unit holders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The sale of Securities is necessary or advisable (i) in order to maintain the qualification
of the Trust as a "regulated investment company" in the case of the Trust which has elected to qualify as such or (ii) to
provide funds to make any distribution for a taxable year in order to avoid imposition of any income or excise taxes on undistributed
income in the Trust which is a "regulated investment company";

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The price of the Security has declined to such an extent, or such other credit factors exist,
that in our opinion keeping the Security would be harmful to the Trust;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• As a result of the ownership of the Security, the Trust or its Unit holders would be a direct
or indirect shareholder of a passive foreign investment company; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The sale of the Security is necessary for the Trust to comply with such federal and/or state
laws, regulations and/or regulatory actions and interpretations which may be in effect from time to time.

Except for instances in which the Trust acquires Replacement Securities, as described in "The FT Series," the Trust will generally not acquire any securities or other property other than the Securities. The Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and at the direction of the Sponsor, will vote for or against any offer for new or exchanged securities or property in exchange for a Security, such as those acquired in a merger or other transaction. If such exchanged securities or property are acquired by the Trust, at our instruction, they will either be sold or held in the Trust. In making the determination as to whether to sell or hold the exchanged securities or property we may get advice from the Portfolio Supervisor. Any proceeds received from the sale of Securities, exchanged securities or property will be credited to the Capital Account of the Trust for distribution to Unit holders or to meet redemption requests. The Trustee may retain and pay us or an affiliate of ours to act as agent for the Trust to facilitate selling Securities, exchanged securities or property from the Trust. If we or our affiliate act in this capacity, we will be held subject to the restrictions under the 1940 Act. When acting in an agency capacity, we may select various broker/dealers to execute securities transactions on behalf of the Trust, which may include broker/dealers who sell Units of the Trust. We do not consider sales of Units of the Trust or any other products sponsored by First Trust as a factor in selecting such broker/dealers. As authorized by the Indenture, the Trustee may also employ a subsidiary or affiliate of the Trustee to act as broker in selling such Securities or property. The Trust will pay for these brokerage services at standard commission rates.

The Trustee may sell Securities designated by us, or, absent our direction, at its own discretion, in order to meet redemption requests or pay expenses. In designating Securities to be sold, we will try to maintain the proportionate relationship among the Securities. If this is not possible, the composition and diversification of the Trust may be changed.

**Amending or Terminating the Indenture**

**Amendments.** The Indenture may be amended by us and the Trustee without your consent:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• To cure ambiguities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• To correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• To make any amendment required by any governmental agency; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• To make other changes determined not to be adverse to your best interests (as determined by
us and the Trustee).

**Termination.** As provided by the Indenture, the Trust will terminate on the Mandatory Termination Date as stated in the "Summary of Essential Information." The Trust may be terminated earlier:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Upon the consent of 100% of the Unit holders of the Trust;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If the value of the Securities owned by the Trust as shown by any evaluation is less than the
lower of $2,000,000 or 20% of the total value of Securities deposited in the Trust during the initial offering period ("Discretionary
Liquidation Amount"); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In the event that Units of the Trust not yet sold aggregating more than 60% of the Units of
the Trust are tendered for redemption by underwriters, including the Sponsor.

If the Trust is terminated due to this last reason, we will refund your entire sales charge; however, termination of the Trust before the Mandatory Termination Date for any other stated reason will result in all remaining unpaid deferred sales charges on your Units being deducted from your termination proceeds. For various reasons, the Trust may be reduced below the Discretionary Liquidation Amount and could therefore be terminated before the Mandatory Termination Date.

Unless terminated earlier, the Trustee may begin to sell Securities in connection with the termination of the Trust as early as nine business days prior to, but will sell Securities no later than, the Mandatory Termination Date. We will determine the manner and timing of the sale of Securities. Because the Trustee must sell the Securities within a relatively short period of time, the sale of Securities as part of the termination process may result in a lower sales price than might otherwise be realized if such sale were not required at this time.

You will receive a cash distribution from the sale of the remaining Securities, along with your interest in the Income and Capital Accounts, within a reasonable time after the Trust is terminated. The Trustee will deduct from the Trust any accrued costs, expenses, advances or indemnities provided for by the Indenture, including estimated compensation of the Trustee and costs of liquidation and any amounts required as a reserve to pay any taxes or other governmental charges.

The purpose of the code is to avoid potential conflicts of interest and to prevent fraud, deception or misconduct with respect to the Trust.

**Risk Factors**

*Securities.* An investment in Units should be made with an understanding of the risks which an investment in common stocks entails, including the risk that the financial condition of the issuers of the Securities or the general condition of the relevant stock market may worsen, and the value of the Securities and therefore the value of the Units may decline. Common stocks are especially susceptible to general stock market movements and to volatile increases and decreases of value, as market confidence in and perceptions of the issuers change. These perceptions are based on unpredictable factors, including expectations regarding government, economic, monetary and fiscal policies, inflation and interest rates, economic expansion or contraction, and global or regional political, economic or banking crises.

*Dividends.* Shareholders of common stocks have rights to receive payments from the issuers of those common stocks that are generally subordinate to those of creditors of, or holders of debt obligations or preferred stocks of, such issuers. Shareholders of common stocks have a right to receive dividends only when and if, and in the amounts, declared by the issuer's board of directors and have a right to participate in amounts available for distribution by the issuer only after all other claims on the issuer have been paid or provided for. Common stocks do not represent an obligation of the issuer and, therefore, do not offer any assurance of income or provide the same degree of protection of capital as do debt securities. The issuance of additional debt securities or preferred stock will create prior claims for payment of principal, interest and dividends which could adversely affect the ability and inclination of the issuer to declare or pay dividends on its common stock or the rights of holders of common stock with respect to assets of the issuer upon liquidation or bankruptcy. Cumulative preferred stock dividends must be paid before common stock dividends, and any cumulative preferred stock dividend omitted is added to future dividends payable to the holders of cumulative preferred stock. Preferred stockholders are also generally entitled to rights on liquidation which are senior to those of common stockholders.

*Small and/or Mid Capitalization Companies*. While historically stocks of small and mid capitalization companies have outperformed the stocks of large companies, the former have customarily involved more investment risk as well. Such companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources; may lack management depth or experience; and may be more vulnerable to adverse general market or economic developments than large companies. Some of these companies may distribute, sell or produce products which have recently been brought to market and may be dependent on key personnel.

The prices of small and mid cap company securities are often more volatile than prices associated with large company issues, and can display abrupt or erratic movements at times, due to limited trading volumes and less publicly available information. Also, because such companies normally have fewer shares outstanding and these shares trade less frequently than large companies, it may be more difficult for the Trusts which contain these Securities to buy and sell significant amounts of such shares without an unfavorable impact on prevailing market prices.

**Concentration**

**Concentration Risk.** When 25% or more of a trust's portfolio is invested in securities issued by companies within a single sector, the trust is considered to be concentrated in that particular sector. A portfolio concentrated in one or more sectors may present more risks than a portfolio broadly diversified over several sectors.

The Trust is concentrated in common stocks of companies within the information technology sector.

*Information Technology.* Technology companies generally include companies involved in the development, design, manufacture and sale of computers and peripherals, software and services, data networking/communications equipment, Internet access/information providers, semiconductors and semiconductor equipment and other related products, systems and services. The market for these products, especially those specifically related to the Internet, is characterized by rapidly changing technology, rapid product obsolescence, cyclical market patterns, evolving industry standards and frequent new product introductions. The success of the issuers of the Securities depends in substantial part on the timely and successful introduction of new products. An unexpected change in one or more of the technologies affecting an issuer's products or in the market for products based on a particular technology could have a material adverse effect on an issuer's operating results. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the issuers of the Securities will be able to respond in a timely manner to compete in the rapidly developing marketplace.

Based on trading history of common stock, factors such as announcements of new products or development of new technologies and general conditions of the industry have caused and are likely to cause the market price of high-technology common stocks to fluctuate substantially. In addition, technology company stocks have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that often have been unrelated to the operating performance of such companies. This market volatility may adversely affect the market price of the Securities and therefore the ability of a Unit holder to redeem Units at a price equal to or greater than the original price paid for such Units.

Some key components of certain products of technology issuers are currently available only from single sources. There can be no assurance that in the future suppliers will be able to meet the demand for components in a timely and cost effective manner. Accordingly, an issuer's operating results and customer relationships could be adversely affected by either an increase in price for, or an interruption or reduction in supply of, any key components. Additionally, many technology issuers are characterized by a highly concentrated customer base consisting of a limited number of large customers who may require product vendors to comply with rigorous industry standards. Any failure to comply with such standards may result in a significant loss or reduction of sales. Because many products and technologies of technology companies are incorporated into other related products, such companies are often highly dependent on the performance of the personal computer, electronics and telecommunications industries. There can be no assurance that these customers will place additional orders, or that an issuer of Securities will obtain orders of similar magnitude as past orders from other customers. Similarly, the success of certain technology companies is tied to a relatively small concentration of products or technologies. Accordingly, a decline in demand of such products, technologies or from such customers could have a material adverse impact on issuers of the Securities.

Many technology companies rely on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secret laws to establish and protect their proprietary rights in their products and technologies. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by the issuers of the Securities to protect their proprietary rights will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of their technology or that competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to such issuers' technology. In addition, due to the increasing public use of the Internet, it is possible that other laws and regulations may be adopted to address issues such as privacy, pricing, characteristics, and quality of Internet products and services. The adoption of any such laws could have a material adverse impact on the Securities in the Trust.

Like many areas of technology, the semiconductor business environment is highly competitive, notoriously cyclical and subject to rapid and often unanticipated change. Recent industry downturns have resulted, in part, from weak pricing, persistent overcapacity, slowdown in Asian demand and a shift in retail personal computer sales toward the low end, or "sub-$1,000" segment. Industry growth is dependent upon several factors, including: the rate of global economic expansion; demand for products such as personal computers and networking and communications equipment; excess productive capacity and the resultant effect on pricing; and the rate of growth in the market for low-priced personal computers.

The social media industry is also highly competitive and subject to the risks involved with information technology companies, namely, short product life cycles, evolving industry standards, loss of patent protections, rapidly changing technologies and frequent new product introductions. Additional risks generally applicable to social media companies include, without limitation: disruption of services due to internal or external technical issues; security breaches of private, proprietary and confidential information; and evolving laws and regulations, foreign or domestic, that could negatively affect operations. Furthermore, the sustainability of the business models employed by social media companies remain largely unproven.

Undertakings

1. Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the undersigned
registrant hereby undertakes to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission such supplementary and periodic information, documents,
and reports as may be prescribed by any rule or regulation of the Commission heretofore or hereafter duly adopted pursuant to authority
conferred in that section.

2. Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities
Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to Rule 484 under the Securities
Act, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

be made in good faith on the basis of information available to it at the time. If the reimbursable expenses of organizing the Trust actually incurred by the Depositor are less than the amount certified, the Depositor shall cause the excess to be restored to the Trust and the Trustee shall credit any such amount to the Account or Accounts from which the expense reimbursement had been withdrawn."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.The second paragraph of Section 3.05(II)(a) is amended to add the following sentence at the end thereof:

"Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.05, the Trustee will not be required to make a distribution from the Income Account of a Trust which has elected to qualify as a "regulated Investment company" and does not make distributions of income calculated on the basis of one-twelfth of the annual income of the Trust unless the amount available for distribution from such account shall equal or exceed $1.00 per 100 Units."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D.The first two sentences of the third paragraph of Section 3.11 shall be replaced with the following:

"Subject to the preceding paragraph, with respect to any Trust that holds shares of a closed-end fund, exchange traded fund or other investment fund (a "Deposited Fund"), the Trustee will provide the Depositor access to the information provided to the Trustee regarding matters on which voting or other action is solicited or required with respect to shares of a Deposited Fund. If the Depositor determines that the voting or response to such matters should not be done in accordance with the first paragraph of this Section and, with respect to any Trust which is a widely held fixed investment trust as defined in Treas. Reg. Section 1.671-5(b)(22) the outcome of voting or response to such matters will not result in such Trust receiving new or exchange securities, as certified to the Trustee by the Depositor upon which the Trustee shall conclusively rely, the Depositor will direct the Trustee in writing as to the manner in which the voting or response should be made not later than ten Business Days prior to due date for the vote or response."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E.Section 6.01(l)(II) through the end of such paragraph shall be replaced with the following:

"(II) Securities issued by the Trustee, its parent, or an affiliate or by an entity for which the Trustee, in its individual capacity, or its parent, or an affiliate acts as trustee or other service provider, or (in the case of an Option or other similar Security) references a security for which the Trustee, in its individual capacity, or its parent, or an affiliate acts as trustee or other service provider, and any such relationship shall not constitute a conflict of interest for any purpose hereunder or prevent the Trustee from acting hereunder, and the Trustee may otherwise deal with the Depositor and the Trust with the same rights and powers as if it were not the Trustee hereunder."

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, First Trust Portfolios L.P., The Bank of New York Mellon and First Trust Advisors L.P. have each caused this Trust Agreement to be executed and the respective corporate seal to be hereto affixed and attested (if applicable) by authorized officers; all as of the day, month and year first above written.
