securities and debt securities, floating rate and fixed-to-floating
rate preferred securities, debt securities, convertible securities

Past performance is no assurance of future results. Investment
return and market value of an investment in the Fund will
fluctuate. Shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their
original cost. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s investment
objectives will be achieved. The Fund may not be appropriate for
all investors.
Principal Risk Factors: The Fund is subject to risks, including
the fact that it is a non-diversified closed-end management
investment company.
Preferred/hybrid and debt securities in which the Fund invests
are subject to various risks, including credit risk, interest rate
risk, and call risk. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of a
security will be unable or unwilling to make dividend, interest
and/or principal payments when due and that the value of a security
may decline as a result. Credit risk may be heightened for the Fund
because it invests in below investment grade securities, which
involve greater risks than investment grade securities, including
the possibility of dividend or interest deferral, default or
bankruptcy. Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of
fixed-rate securities in the Fund will decline because of rising
market interest rates. Call risk is the risk that performance could
be adversely impacted if an issuer calls higher-yielding debt
instruments held by the Fund.
Because the Fund is concentrated in the financials sector, it
will be more susceptible to adverse economic or regulatory
occurrences affecting this sector, such as changes in interest
rates, loan concentration and competition.
Investment in non-U.S. securities is subject to the risk of
currency fluctuations and to economic and political risks
associated with such foreign countries.
Use of leverage can result in additional risk and cost, and can
magnify the effect of any losses.
The risks of investing in the Fund are spelled out in the
shareholder reports and other regulatory filings.
The information presented is not intended to constitute an
investment recommendation for, or advice to, any specific person.
By providing this information, First Trust is not undertaking to
give advice in any fiduciary capacity within the meaning of ERISA,
the Internal Revenue Code or any other regulatory framework.
Financial advisors are responsible for evaluating investment risks
independently and for exercising independent judgment in
determining whether investments are appropriate for their
clients.
