U.S. Treasury 10-Year Notes	Long	8	Sep 2019	$1,019,375	$1,563

(a)	Floating or variable rate security.
(b)	This security, sold within the terms of a private placement memorandum, is exempt from registration upon resale under Rule 144A under 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, 2019, securities noted as such amounted to $13,800,571 or 21.9% of net assets.
(c)	Collateral Strip Rate security. Coupon is based on the weighted net interest rate of the investment’s underlying collateral. The interest rate resets periodically.
(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, 2019.
(e)	Inverse floating rate security.
(f)	Zero coupon security.
(g)	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.
(h)	Aggregate cost for financial reporting purposes approximates the aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes. As of July 31, 2019, the aggregate gross
unrealized appreciation for all investments in which there was an excess of value over tax cost was $2,102,276 and the aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all investments in which there was an excess of tax
cost over value was $2,945,495. The net unrealized depreciation was $843,219. The amounts presented are inclusive of derivative contracts.

IO	Interest-Only Security - Principal amount shown represents par value on which interest payments are based.
LIBOR	London Interbank Offered Rate
STRIPS	Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities

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, 2019 is as follows:

	Total Value at 7/31/2019	Level 1 Quoted Prices	Level 2 Significant Observable Inputs	Level 3 Significant Unobservable Inputs
