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.

Risk Considerations:

The funds invest in equity and debt securities of non-U.S. issuers which are
subject to higher volatility than securities of U.S. issuers. Risks may be
heightened for securities of companies located in, or with significant
operations in, emerging market countries. Because the funds invest in non-U.S.
securities, you may lose money if the local currency of a non-U.S. market
depreciates against the U.S. dollar.

The debt securities in which the funds invest are subject to certain risks,
including issuer risk, reinvestment risk, prepayment risk, credit risk, and
interest rate risk. Issuer risk is the risk that the value of fixed-income
securities may decline for a number of reasons which directly relate to the
issuer. Reinvestment risk is the risk that income from the funds' portfolios
will decline if the funds invest the proceeds from matured, traded or called
bonds at market interest rates that are below the funds portfolios' current
earnings rate. Prepayment risk is the risk that, upon a prepayment, the actual
outstanding debt on which the funds derive interest income will be reduced.
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. Interest rate risk is the risk that
fixed-income securities will decline in value because of changes in market
interest rates.

The funds invest in non-investment grade debt instruments, commonly referred to
as "high-yield securities". High yield securities are subject to greater market
fluctuations and risk of loss than securities with higher ratings. Lower-quality
debt tends to be less liquid than higher-quality debt.

Use of leverage can result in additional risk and cost, and can magnify the
effect of any losses.

The risks of investing in each Fund are spelled out in the shareholder reports
and other regulatory filings.

Each Fund's daily closing price and net asset value per share as well as other
information can be found at www.ftportfolios.com or by calling (800) 988-5891.
