Who are we?
Today, First Trust is collectively First Trust Advisors L.P. (“FTA”), First Trust Portfolios L.P. (“FTP”) and First Trust Global Portfolios (“FTGP”). FTA and FTP were established in 1991, and FTGP was established in 2011.
FTA is an Investment Adviser/Manager, FTP provides supervisory, evaluation and administrative services to Unit Investment Trusts (“UITs”), and FTGP’s main function is to distribute our range of Exchange Traded Funds, UCITS Funds, and Mutual Funds in the United Kingdom and selected European countries.
While First Trust has a strong track record in providing a variety of rules-based, thematic and actively managed solutions across a range of equities, fixed income and alternatives to clients historically, today, we are one of the fastest growing ETF providers in the world.
