2 FIRST TRUST ADVISORS L.P. LEVERAGED FINANCE INVESTMENT TEAM First Trust Leveraged Finance Investment Team Strengths Experienced management team Investment committee approach to decision making/risk management Market access Consistent and disciplined investment process focusing on: High level of portfolio diversification across industries and issuers Relative value Asset liquidity Experienced Credit Team Senior credit analysts with experience through several credit cycles Bankruptcy and workout experience Market Access Long standing relationships with agent banks were formed at one of the largest leveraged finance asset managers Asset base allows team to be nimble in right-sizing positions through time Institutional Approach to Portfolio Construction and Risk Management Portfolio construction emphasizes relative value across investment universe Risk management focuses both on absolute credit risk and relative market risk A relatively conservative approach emphasizing a quality bias and extensive industry and issuer diversification levels First Trust Advisors Leveraged Finance Assets Under Management or Supervision: $2.2bil (June 2016) High-Yield Bonds $978.9 Bank Loans* $1,242.9 Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) $1,485.7 Unit Investment Trusts (UITs)** $35.1 Closed-End Funds $ Open-End Funds $180.1 *First Trust Short Duration High Income Fund is included under retail bank loan assets, although the fund holds some high yield assets as well. Bank loans are usually rated below investment grade but may also be unrated. As a result, the risks associated with these loans are similar to the risks of high yield fixed-income investments. High-yield securities tend to be less liquid than higher quality debt and are subject to greater market fluctuations and risk of loss than securities with higher ratings. **UITs are not managed, but are supervised, by the First Trust Leveraged Finance Team. You should consider an investment s objectives, risks, and charges and expenses carefully before investing. Contact First Trust Portfolios L.P. at or visit to obtain a prospectus which contains this and other information about a portfolio. Read it carefully before you invest. 2

Asset Selection involves evaluation of the macro-economy, industry trends, consistency of cash flows, collateral coverage, and management quality.
