First Trust Short Duration High Income Fund
Portfolio of Investments (Continued)
January 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
(a) Senior Floating-Rate Loan Interests (“Senior Loans”) in which the Fund invests pay interest at rates which are periodically predetermined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. These base lending rates are generally (i) the lending rate offered by one or more major European banks, such as the LIBOR, (ii) the prime rate offered by one or more United States banks or (iii) the certificate of deposit rate. Certain Senior Loans are subject to a LIBOR floor that establishes a minimum LIBOR rate. When a range of rates is disclosed, the Fund holds more than one contract within the same tranche with identical LIBOR period, spread and floor, but different LIBOR reset dates.
(b) Senior Loans generally are subject to mandatory and/or optional prepayment. As a result, the actual remaining maturity of Senior Loans may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown.
(c) The issuer may pay interest on the loans in cash and in Payment-In-Kind (“PIK”) interest. Interest paid in cash will accrue at the rate of 7.00% per annum (“Cash Interest Rate”) and PIK interest will accrue on the loan at the rate of 8.25% per annum. For the fiscal year-to-date period (November 1, 2021 through January 31, 2022), the Fund received a portion of the interest in cash and PIK interest with a principal value of $6,901 for Cineworld Group PLC (Crown).
(d) The issuer may pay interest on the loans (1) entirely in cash or (2) in the event that both the PIK Toggle Condition has been satisfied and the issuer elects to exercise the PIK interest, 2.50% payable in cash and 7.00% payable as PIK interest. For the fiscal year-to-date period (November 1, 2021 through January 31, 2022), this security paid all of its interest in cash.
(e) This issuer has filed for protection in bankruptcy court.
(f) This security, sold within the terms of a private placement memorandum, is exempt from registration upon resale under Rule 144A of 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 Trust’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 January 31, 2022, securities noted as such amounted to $34,196,135 or 20.1% of net assets.
(g) This issuer is in default and interest is not being accrued by the Fund nor paid by the issuer.
(h) Non-income producing security.
(i) Security received in a transaction exempt from registration under the 1933 Act. The security may be resold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, typically to qualified institutional buyers. Pursuant to procedures adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees, this security has been determined to be illiquid by the Advisor. Although market instability can result in periods of increased overall market illiquidity, liquidity for the security is determined based on security-specific factors and assumptions, which require subjective judgment. At January 31, 2022, securities noted as such amounted to $312,371 or 0.2% of net assets.
(j) Pursuant to procedures adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees, this security has been determined to be illiquid by the Advisor.
(k) This security is fair valued by the Advisor’s Pricing Committee in accordance with procedures adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees, and in accordance with the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. At January 31, 2022, securities noted as such are valued at $0 or 0.0% of net assets.
(l) This security’s value was determined using significant unobservable inputs.
(m) Rate shown reflects yield as of January 31, 2022.

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.
