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.
Principal Risk Factors: Investment in this Fund involves investment and market
risk, management risk, credit risk, prepayment risk, reinvestment risk, interest
rate risk, floating rate collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") and
inverse floating rate CMOs risk, bond market risk, economic sector risk,
inflation risk, U.S. government securities risk, government agency risk,
asset-backed securities risk, market discount risk, leverage risk, interest rate
transactions risk, derivatives risk, market disruption risk, portfolio turnover
risk, tax risk relating to investments in certain real estate mortgage
investment conduits ("REMICs"), and illiquid/restricted securities risk.
Subordinated Debt Risk: The Fund may invest a portion of its Managed Assets in
subordinated classes of mortgage-backed securities ("MBS"), including debt
obligations issued by private originators or issuers backed by residential
mortgage loans and multi-class debt or pass-through or paythrough securities
backed by a mortgage loan or pool of mortgage loans on commercial real estate.
Such subordinated classes are subject to a greater degree of non-payment risk
than are senior classes of the same issuer or agency.
Prepayment Risk: If borrowers prepay their mortgage loans at rates that are
faster than expected, this results in prepayments that are faster than expected
on MBS. These faster than expected prepayments may adversely affect the Fund's
profitability, particularly if the Fund is forced to invest prepayments it
receives in lower yielding securities. Moreover, the Fund may also acquire MBS
that are less affected by prepayments. While the Fund will seek to minimize
prepayment risk to the extent practical, the Fund must balance prepayment risk
against other risks and the potential returns of each investment in selecting
investments. No strategy can completely insulate the Fund from prepayment risk.
Interest Rate Risk: The Fund may also invest in MBS which are interest-only
("IO") securities and principal-only ("PO") securities. Generally speaking, when
interest rates are falling and prepayment rates are increasing, the value of a
PO security will rise and the value of an IO security will fall. Conversely,
when interest rates are rising and prepayment rates are decreasing, generally
the value of a PO security will fall and the value of an IO security will rise.
The risks of investing in the Fund are spelled out in the prospectus,
shareholder reports, and other regulatory filings.
The Fund's daily closing New York Stock Exchange price and net asset value per
share as well as other information can be found at www.ftportfolios.com or by
calling 1-800-988-5891.
