NOTES TO QUARTERLY PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS
APRIL 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED)
1. VALUATION AND INVESTMENT PRACTICES
A. PORTFOLIO VALUATION:
First Trust Exchange-Traded AlphaDEX(TM) Fund (the "Trust") is an open-end
management investment company that currently consists of sixteen AlphaDEX(TM)
funds (each a "Fund" or collectively the "Funds"):
First Trust Consumer Discretionary AlphaDEX(TM) Fund - (AMEX ticker "FXD")
First Trust Consumer Staples AlphaDEX(TM) Fund - (AMEX ticker "FXG")
First Trust Energy AlphaDEX(TM) Fund - (AMEX ticker "FXN")
First Trust Financials AlphaDEX(TM) Fund - (AMEX ticker "FXO")
First Trust Health Care AlphaDEX(TM) Fund - (AMEX ticker "FXH")
First Trust Industrials/Producer Durables AlphaDEX(TM) Fund -
(AMEX ticker "FXR")
First Trust Materials AlphaDEX(TM) Fund - (AMEX ticker "FXZ")
First Trust Technology AlphaDEX(TM) Fund - (AMEX ticker "FXL")
First Trust Utilities AlphaDEX(TM) Fund - (AMEX ticker "FXU")
First Trust Large Cap Core AlphaDEX(TM) Fund - (AMEX ticker "FEX")
First Trust Mid Cap Core AlphaDEX(TM) Fund - (AMEX ticker "FNX")
First Trust Small Cap Core AlphaDEX(TM) Fund - (AMEX ticker "FYX")
First Trust Large Cap Value Opportunities AlphaDEX(TM) Fund -
(AMEX ticker "FTA")
First Trust Large Cap Growth Opportunities AlphaDEX(TM) Fund -
(AMEX ticker "FTC")
First Trust Multi Cap Value AlphaDEX(TM) Fund - (AMEX ticker "FAB")
First Trust Multi Cap Growth AlphaDEX(TM) Fund - (AMEX ticker "FAD")
Each Fund's net asset value ("NAV") is determined daily, as of the close of
regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), normally 4:00 p.m.
Eastern time, on each day the NYSE is open for trading. The NAV is calculated by
dividing the value of all assets of the Fund (including accrued interest and
dividends), less all liabilities (including accrued expenses and dividends
declared but unpaid), by the total number of shares outstanding.
Each Fund's investments are valued at market value or, in the absence of market
value with respect to any portfolio securities, at fair value according to
procedures adopted by the Trust's Board of Trustees. Portfolio securities listed
on any exchange other than The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. ("NASDAQ(R)") are
valued at the last sale price on the business day as of which such value is
being determined. If there has been no sale on such day, the securities are
valued at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices on such day.
Securities traded on the NASDAQ(R) are valued at the NASDAQ(R) Official Closing
Price as determined by NASDAQ(R). Portfolio securities traded on more than one
securities exchange are valued at the last sale price on the business day as of
which such value is being determined at the close of the exchange representing
the principal market for such securities. Portfolio securities traded in the
over-the-counter market, but excluding securities traded on the NASDAQ(R), are
valued at the closing bid prices. Short-term investments that mature in less
than 60 days are valued at amortized cost.
Certain securities may not be able to be priced by pre-established pricing
methods. Such securities may be valued by the Board of Trustees or its delegate
at fair value. These securities generally include, but are not limited to,
restricted securities (securities which may not be publicly sold without
registration under the Securities Act of 1933) for which a pricing service is
unable to provide a market price; securities whose trading has been formally
suspended; a security whose market price is not available from a pre-established
pricing source; a security with respect to which an event has occurred that is
likely to materially affect the value of the security after the market has
closed but before the calculation of a Fund's NAV or make it difficult or
impossible to obtain a reliable market quotation; and a security whose price, as
provided by the pricing service, does not reflect the security's "fair value."
As a general principle, the current "fair value" of a security would appear to
be the amount which the owner might reasonably expect to receive for the
Page 113
FIRST TRUST EXCHANGE-TRADED ALPHADEX(TM) FUND
NOTES TO QUARTERLY PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)
APRIL 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED)
security upon its current sale. The use of fair value prices by a Fund generally
results in the prices used by a Fund differing from the closing sale prices on
the applicable exchange and fair value prices may not reflect the actual value
of a security. A variety of factors may be considered in determining the fair
value of such securities.
Valuing a Fund's securities using fair value pricing will result in using prices
for the securities that may differ from current market valuations. Use of fair
value prices and certain current market valuations could result in a difference
between the prices used to calculate a Fund's NAV and the prices used by such
Fund's corresponding index, which, in turn, could result in a difference between
a Fund's performance and the performance of such index.
B. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS:
Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Realized gains and
losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis.
