International Opportunity UIT Series Focuses on International GARP Stocks

A unique product designed to capitalize on international markets

Santa Barbara, CA – June 7, 2018: The Sabrient International Opportunity Series was introduced today by Sabrient Systems.

The International Opportunity Series, licensed to First Trust Portfolios, seeks above-average total returns from stocks selected from variety of countries and within those countries from a mixture of sectors and industries. The stocks are selected by applying a seven-step selection process based on the Sabrient strategy. Among the criteria, the stocks selected are international GARP stocks -- stocks that exhibit "growth at a reasonable price" based on Sabrient’s proprietary algorithm. The stocks must have a minimum price and minimum trading volume; earnings estimates that reflect high confidence by the analysts in their estimates; and a strong long-term growth rate. The International Opportunity Portfolio is diversified by country, sector and industry, with not more than approximately 25% in any one country, 30% in any one sector, and 15% in any one industry.

The Sabrient/Gradient Earnings Quality Rank (EQR Rank), a proprietary forensic accounting factor is incorporated into the strategy to determine the relative safety of the dividends over the next 15 months.

The initial Sabrient International Opportunity Portfolio (Ticker: FDLYTX) , launched today, June 7,2018, will terminate on September 9, 2019. To follow the performance of this portfolio, go to the First Trust Portfolios website and enter the portfolio ticker.
