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, value investing risk, below-investment grade securities
risk, fixed-income securities risk, mortgage-backed securities risk,
asset-backed securities risk, convertible securities risk, non-U.S. securities
risk, currency risk, distressed securities risk, inflation/deflation risk,
interest rate risk, market discount risk, leverage risk, derivatives risk,
market disruption risk, portfolio turnover risk, and illiquid/restricted
securities risk.
Below-investment grade securities are commonly referred to as "high-yield" or
"junk" bonds and are considered speculative with respect to the issuer's
capacity to pay interest and repay principal. These securities are susceptible
to default or decline in market value due to adverse economic and business
developments. The market values for high-yield securities tend to be very
volatile, and these securities are less liquid than investment grade debt
securities. For these reasons, your investment in the Fund is subject to the
following specific risks: (a) increased price sensitivity to changing interest
rates and to a deteriorating economic environment; (b) greater risk of loss due
to default or declining credit quality; (c) adverse company specific events are
more likely to render the issuer unable to make interest and/or principal
payments; and (d) a negative perception of the high-yield market may depress the
price and liquidity of high-yield securities.
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.
