Historical volatility is the annualized standard deviation of an underlying's past returns, typically measured over rolling windows like 10, 20, 30, or 60 days. The RDVY 30 day historical volatility is one of the most widely watched readings because it balances responsiveness with stability. Comparing First Trust Rising Dividend Achievers ETF's HV to its implied volatility reveals the volatility risk premium — when IV sits well above HV, option sellers tend to have an edge; when HV runs hot relative to IV, buyers may be underpaying for movement.

The Fund seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield (before the fees and expenses) of the Nasdaq US Rising Dividend Achievers Index (the "Index"). The Fund will normally invest at least 90% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities that comprise the Index. The Index is comprised of a selection of companies with a history of raising their dividends and that exhibit the characteristics to potentially continue doing so in the future. The Index construction process considers a company's earnings growth, levels of cash compared to debt and the amount of earnings that are paid out as dividends.
