(a)
Collateral Strip Rate security. Coupon is based on the weighted net interest rate of the investment’s underlying collateral. The
interest rate resets periodically.
(b)
Floating or variable rate security.
(c)
This security, sold within the terms of a private placement memorandum, is exempt from registration upon resale under
Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and may be resold in transactions exempt from
registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. Pursuant to procedures adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees, this
security has been determined to be liquid by First Trust Advisors L.P., (the “Advisor”). Although market instability can result in
periods of increased overall market illiquidity, liquidity for each security is determined based on security specific factors and
assumptions, which require subjective judgment. At July 31, 2024, securities noted as such amounted to $31,091,329 or 57.5% of
net assets.
(d)
Step-up security. A security where the coupon increases or steps up at a predetermined date. Interest rate shown reflects the rate in
effect at July 31, 2024.
(e)
Inverse floating rate security.
(f)

Rule 144A of the 1933 Act, and may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers
(see Restricted Securities table).
(g)
Zero coupon security.
(h)
Weighted Average Coupon security. Coupon is based on the blended interest rate of the underlying holdings, which may have
different coupons. The coupon may change in any period.
(i)
Rate shown reflects yield as of July 31, 2024.

Valuation Inputs
The Fund is subject to fair value accounting standards that define fair value, establish the framework for measuring fair value and provide a three-level hierarchy for fair valuation based upon the inputs to the valuation as of the measurement date. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
•
Level 1 – Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
•
Level 2 – Level 2 inputs are observable inputs, either directly or indirectly. (Quoted prices for similar investments, valuations based on interest rates and yield curves, or valuations derived from observable market data.)
•
Level 3 – Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that may reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the investment.
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
A summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of July 31, 2024 is as follows:
