First Trust Arranges Listing of Brazilian Depositary Receipts in Brazil

First Trust Advisors L.P. (“First Trust”), a global ETF provider and asset manager, announced today that it has engaged Banco B3 S.A. to list Brazilian depositary receipts (“BDRs”) backed by 13 First Trust exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) in Brazil. BDRs are offered on a private placement basis in Brazil and may provide investors with exposure to the growing Brazilian ETF market.

“We have been eagerly awaiting the day when Brazilian investors would have more access to ETFs as investment solutions. Thus, it is with great excitement we make an initial suite of First Trust ETFs available via the BDR program and bring our industry leadership in multifactor and thematic solutions to the Brazilian market. We look forward to the growth of the ETF industry in Brazil over the coming years ahead,” said April Reppy Suydam, Head of Latin America Sales & Distribution, First Trust.
