The three newly launched funds, FT Vest Investment Grade & Target Income ETF (NYSE:LQTI), FT Vest High Yield & Target Income ETF (NYSE:HYTI), and FT Vest 20+ Year Treasury & Target Income ETF (NYSE:LTTI), offer a combination of U.S. Treasury securities with options-driven exposure to specific fixed-income sectors.

Each fund utilizes FLEX options, which are customizable exchange-traded options designed to optimize risk and return. This is in effort to distribute income at an annual rate 5% higher than their underlying ETFs.

With over 160 ETFs listed in the U.S., First Trust continues to expand its roots in the income-focused investing space. One of its flagship funds, the First Trust Preferred Securities & Income ETF (NYSE:FPE), has more than $5 billion in assets under management.
