Forward-looking statements include statements regarding the goals, beliefs, plans or current expectations of First Trust Advisors L.P. (“First Trust” or the “Advisor”) and its representatives, taking into account the information currently available to them. Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to current or historical fact. For example, forward-looking statements include the use of words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “expect,” “believe,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “would” or other words that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes.
Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of any series of First Trust Exchange-Traded AlphaDEX® Fund (the “Trust”) described in this report (each such series is referred to as a “Fund” and collectively, as the “Funds”) to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. When evaluating the information included in this report, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect the judgment of the Advisor and its representatives only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly revise or update these forward-looking statements to reflect events and circumstances that arise after the date hereof.
Performance and Risk Disclosure
There is no assurance that any Fund described in this report will achieve its investment objective. Each Fund is subject to market risk, which is the possibility that the market values of securities owned by the Fund will decline and that the value of the Fund’s shares may therefore be less than what you paid for them. Accordingly, you can lose money by investing in a Fund. See “Risk Considerations” in the Additional Information section of this report for a discussion of certain other risks of investing in the Funds.
Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and current performance may be lower or higher than the figures shown. For the most recent month-end performance figures, please visit www.ftportfolios.com or speak with your financial advisor. Investment returns, net asset value and share price will fluctuate and Fund shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
The Advisor may also periodically provide additional information on Fund performance on each Fund’s webpage at www.ftportfolios.com.

Shareholder Letter
First Trust Exchange-Traded AlphaDEX® Fund
Semi-Annual Letter from the Chairman and CEO
January 31, 2024
Dear Shareholders,
First Trust is pleased to provide you with the semi-annual report for the Style Funds of the First Trust Exchange-Traded AlphaDEX® Fund (the “Funds”), which contains detailed information about the Funds for the six-month period ended January 31, 2024.
While there were many noteworthy financial and economic developments over the past six months, perhaps chief among them was the December 2023 statement from the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”). After voting on December 13 to keep the Federal Funds target rate unchanged, the Fed revealed that it was planning up to three interest rate cuts totaling 75 basis points in 2024. The timing of the Fed’s statement came as a surprise to many, especially given its September 2023 announcement that its policy rate was likely to remain “higher for longer” due to stubbornly high inflation.
With December’s announcement effectively taking further interest rate hikes off the table, the discussion now focuses on the timing of the Fed’s cuts. As expected, there are numerous opinions. At the end of December 2023, the futures market for the Federal Funds target rate indicated an 84.3% chance that the Fed would cut its policy rate at its March 2024 meeting. Since then, better than expected economic data and a re-acceleration in the rate of inflation have changed the calculus substantially. As of January 31, 2024, the same futures market indicated a 34.9% chance of the first interest rate cut occurring in March, representing a decline of 49.4 percentage points from where it stood last month.
Falling interest rates could be a boon to an already exuberant U.S. consumer. Consumer sentiment is surging, and shoppers are spending in droves. The University of Michigan’s “Survey of Consumers” revealed that the metric rose by 21.7% on a year-over-year basis in January 2024, reaching its highest level since July 2021. Adobe Analytics reported that a record $222.1 billion was spent online over the 2023 holiday shopping season (which runs from November 1 through December 31), up from $211.7 billion over the same period in 2022. In addition, real discretionary consumer spending rose to $10.9 trillion in 2023, an increase of $1.2 trillion from the $9.7 trillion in real discretionary spending in 2019 (pre-COVID-19). That said, there is data that suggests all this spending may not be sustainable. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York reported that aggregate household debt rose to a record $17.5 trillion at the end of 2023, while the share of credit card balances that moved into serious delinquency (90 days or more past due) rose to 6.3% in the fourth quarter of the year. The last time this share of credit card balances were seriously delinquent was in the second quarter of 2011.
Keep in mind that higher interest rates have been very good for some investors. Take the large portion of cash in money market funds, CDs, and even investments in the broader fixed income markets, as an example. Higher interest rates and recent disinflation have created an environment where, for the first time in many years, these assets are earning a positive real return. By the Fed’s own admission, interest rates are not likely to remain at these levels for long. For the time being, however, investors with capital on hand are being rewarded.
Thank you for giving First Trust the opportunity to play a role in your financial future. We value our relationship with you and will report on the Funds again in six months.
Sincerely,
James A. Bowen
Chairman of the Board of Trustees
Chief Executive Officer of First Trust Advisors L.P.

Mr. Carey has more than 30 years of experience as an Equity and Fixed-Income Analyst and is a recipient of the Chartered Financial Analyst (“CFA”) designation. He is a graduate of the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana with a B.S. in Physics. He is also a member of the Investment Analysts Society of Chicago and the CFA Institute.

State of the U.S. Economy/Global
On January 19, 2024, the S&P 500® Index (the “Index”) closed trading at a record 4,839.81, ending a streak of 745 consecutive days where the Index remained below its previous record close. Continued progress in implementing artificial intelligence into global workflows combined with data suggesting the Federal Reserve could begin cutting interest rates in 2024 bolstered investor sentiment, leading to a series of record highs for the Index in January. The American Association of Individual Investors reported that just 19.3% of respondents to its Investor Sentiment Survey were bearish on December 14, 2023, representing a nearly six-year low for the metric. The U.S. economy remains robust, with gross domestic product (“GDP”) increasing by 4.9% and 3.3% in the third and fourth quarters of 2023, respectively. That said, inflation remains stubbornly high, with the trailing 12-month rate of increase in the Consumer Price Index coming in at 3.1% on January 31, 2024.
As many investors are likely aware, central banks around the globe have been battling inflation by constricting growth with higher policy rates. As a result, global growth is expected to remain muted through 2024. The global growth forecast from the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) released in January 2024 projected that real GDP will grow at a rate of 3.1% in 2024, unchanged from 3.1% in 2023. The IMF is projecting a 2.1% growth rate for the U.S. in 2024, down from 2.5% in 2023. As has been the case for many years, Emerging Market and Developing Economies are expected to grow faster than Advanced Economies. Their 2024 growth rate estimate stood at 4.1% in the IMF’s latest report.
Style/Equity Investing
For the six-month period ended January 31, 2024, the Index posted a total return of 6.43%, according to Bloomberg. Large-capitalization (“cap”) growth stocks outperformed large-cap value stocks in the period, with the S&P 500® Growth Index posting a total return of 7.09%, compared to 5.70% for the S&P 500® Value Index. The S&P MidCap 400® Index posted a total return of 0.98% during the same period. Mid-cap growth stocks outperformed mid-cap value stocks over the period. The S&P MidCap 400® Growth Index posted a total return of 2.12%, compared to -0.11% for the S&P MidCap 400® Value Index during the same period. The S&P SmallCap 600® Index posted a total return of -0.36% during the same period. Small-cap growth stocks outperformed small-cap value stocks during the period. The S&P SmallCap 600® Growth Index posted a total return of 1.54%, as compared to -2.37% for the S&P SmallCap 600® Value Index over the same period.
The Index closed at 4,845.65 on January 31, 2024, 1.67% below its all-time high of 4,927.93 set just two days prior, according to Bloomberg. A Bloomberg survey of 20 equity strategists found that their average 2024 year-end price target for the Index was 4,867 as of January 19, 2024. The highest and lowest estimates were 5,200 and 4,200, respectively. Brian Wesbury, Chief Economist at First Trust, has a year-end price target of 4,500. Keep in mind that these forecasts are subject to change. Earnings projections for the companies that comprise the Index are positive for 2024 and 2025. As of January 26, 2024, Bloomberg’s consensus year-over-year earnings growth rate estimates for 2024 and 2025 stood at 9.60% and 13.56%, respectively. In part, these earnings estimates are reflective of easier comparisons (2023 earnings are expected to finish the year down 3.09%), but they are also indicative of higher expectations regarding revenue growth. The Index’s revenue growth rates for the 2024 and 2025 calendar years are estimated to come in at 4.69% and 5.59%, respectively. For comparison, the Index’s 2023 revenue growth rate was expected to total 2.19% as of January 26, 2024.
Investors continued to funnel capital into exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and related exchange-traded products (“ETPs”) in 2023. ETFGI, an independent research and consultancy firm, reported that total assets invested in ETFs/ETPs listed in the U.S. stood at $8.12 trillion as of year-end, up 24.7% from $6.51 trillion at the end of 2022, according to its own release. Net inflows to ETFs/ETPs listed in the U.S. stood at $603.98 billion in 2023, their third-highest level on record. Globally, the ETFs industry gathered net inflows of $974.87 billion in 2023, their second-highest total on record. Total assets invested in the global ETFs industry stood at a record $11.63 trillion at the end of 2023.

Performance figures assume reinvestment of
all distributions and do not reflect the
deduction of taxes that a shareholder would
pay on Fund distributions or the redemption
or sale of Fund shares. An index is a statistical
composite that tracks a specified financial
market or sector. Unlike the Fund, the index
does not actually hold a portfolio of securities
and therefore does not incur the expenses
incurred by the Fund. These expenses
negatively impact the performance of the
Fund. The Fund’s past performance does not
predict future performance.

Performance figures assume reinvestment of
all distributions and do not reflect the
deduction of taxes that a shareholder would
pay on Fund distributions or the redemption
or sale of Fund shares. An index is a statistical
composite that tracks a specified financial
market or sector. Unlike the Fund, the indices
do not actually hold a portfolio of securities
and therefore do not incur the expenses
incurred by the Fund. These expenses
negatively impact the performance of the
Fund. The Fund’s past performance does not
predict future performance.
Frequency Distribution of Discounts and Premiums
Information showing the number of days the market price of the Fund’s shares was greater (at a premium) and less (at a discount) than the Fund’s net asset value for the most recently completed year, and the most recently completed calendar quarters since that year (or life of the Fund, if shorter) is available at https://www.ftportfolios.com/Retail/etf/home.aspx.

Fund Performance Overview (Unaudited) (Continued)
First Trust Large Cap Value AlphaDEX® Fund (FTA)
The First Trust Large Cap Value AlphaDEX® Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield (before the Fund’s fees and expenses) of an equity index called the Nasdaq AlphaDEX® Large Cap ValueTM Index (the “Index”). The Fund will normally invest at least 90% of its net assets (including investment borrowings) in the securities that comprise the Index. The shares of the Fund are listed and trade on Nasdaq, Inc. under the ticker symbol “FTA.”
The Index is owned, developed, maintained and sponsored by Nasdaq, Inc. (the “Index Provider”). According to the Index Provider, the Index employs the AlphaDEX® stock selection methodology which uses fundamental growth and value factors to objectively select stocks from the Nasdaq US 500 Large Cap ValueTM Index that may generate positive alpha relative to traditional passive indices. The Index is a modified equal-dollar weighted index where higher ranked stocks receive a higher weight within the Index.

Performance figures assume reinvestment of
all distributions and do not reflect the
deduction of taxes that a shareholder would
pay on Fund distributions or the redemption
or sale of Fund shares. An index is a statistical
composite that tracks a specified financial
market or sector. Unlike the Fund, the indices
do not actually hold a portfolio of securities
and therefore do not incur the expenses
incurred by the Fund. These expenses
negatively impact the performance of the
Fund. The Fund’s past performance does not
predict future performance.
Frequency Distribution of Discounts and Premiums
Information showing the number of days the market price of the Fund’s shares was greater (at a premium) and less (at a discount) than the Fund’s net asset value for the most recently completed year, and the most recently completed calendar quarters since that year (or life of the Fund, if shorter) is available at https://www.ftportfolios.com/Retail/etf/home.aspx.

Fund Performance Overview (Unaudited) (Continued)
First Trust Mid Cap Growth AlphaDEX® Fund (FNY)
The First Trust Mid Cap Growth AlphaDEX® Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield (before the Fund’s fees and expenses) of an equity index called the Nasdaq AlphaDEX® Mid Cap GrowthTM Index (the “Index”). The Fund will normally invest at least 90% of its net assets (including investment borrowings) in the securities that comprise the Index. The shares of the Fund are listed and trade on Nasdaq, Inc. under the ticker symbol “FNY.”
The Index is owned, developed, maintained and sponsored by Nasdaq, Inc. (the “Index Provider”). According to the Index Provider, the Index employs the AlphaDEX® stock selection methodology which uses fundamental growth and value factors to objectively select stocks from the Nasdaq US 600 Mid Cap GrowthTM Index that may generate positive alpha relative to traditional passive indices. The Index is a modified equal-dollar weighted index where higher ranked stocks receive a higher weight within the Index.
