First Trust Value Line Dividend Index Fund seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield (before the fund's fees and expenses) of an equity index called the Value Line Dividend Index. The fund will normally invest at least 90% of its net assets (including investment borrowings) in the securities that comprise the index. The index seeks to measure the performance of the securities ranked #1 or #2 according to the index provider's proprietary Value Line Safety Ranking System (the "Safety Ranking System") that are also still expected to provide above-average dividend yield.

iShares S&P 500 Value ETF seeks to track the investment results of the S&P 500 Value IndexTM composed of large-capitalization U.S. equities that exhibit value characteristics. The index measures the performance of the large-capitalization value sector of the U.S. equity market. The fund generally will invest at least 80% of its assets in the component securities of its index and in investments that have economic characteristics that are substantially identical to the component securities of its index and may invest up to 20% of its assets in certain futures, options and swap contracts, cash and cash equivalents.

Vanguard High Dividend Yield Index Fund ETF Shares seeks to track the performance of the FTSE High Dividend Yield Index that measures the investment return of common stocks of companies that are characterized by high dividend yield. The manager employs an indexing investment approach designed to track the performance of the index, which consists of common stocks of companies that pay dividends that generally are higher than average. The adviser attempts to replicate the target index by investing all, or substantially all, of the fund's assets in the stocks that make up the index, holding each stock in approximately the same proportion as its weighting in the index.
