Blanket Bond Insurance Agreement

This Agreement is made as of the 9th day of October, 2022, by and among the investment companies listed in Appendix A (collectively referred to herein as the “Funds”), First Trust Advisors L.P. (the “Advisor”) and First Trust Portfolios L.P. (collectively, with the Advisor and the Funds referred to as the “Parties”).

Witnesseth:

Whereas, the Parties have agreed to acquire a joint insured policy (the “Policy”) issued by ICI Mutual Insurance Company containing broker’s blanket bond coverage (“Blanket Bond Coverage”) which shall cover all Parties;

Whereas, the total amount of the Blanket Bond Coverage under the Policy will be $37,000,000 (“Bond Amount”) based upon the determination of each Fund’s Board of Trustees that such insured Parties should have an amount of coverage, in the aggregate, of at least $34,275,000 (“Basic Bond Coverage”) as provided in Appendix B;

Whereas, the Parties desire to provide herein for an allocation of the premiums for the Blanket Bond Coverage and a manner of allocating any loss proceeds received under the Policy.

The Parties, therefore, agree that:

1. Allocation of Blanket Bond Coverage Premium. Each Party shall pay a proportionate share of the Blanket Bond Coverage annual premium based on the allocation as set forth in Appendix C.

2. Losses.

(a) General. The Policy is a “claims made” insurance policy and a Policy Year is the period from October 9th to the next succeeding October 9th (or any modification of that period as may be agreed by the Parties and the insurer). The insured loss (including all related expenses) of a Party which relates to a claim made by that Party relating to a particular Policy Year under the Blanket Bond Coverage is hereinafter referred to as a “Blanket Bond Loss.” Party includes the trustees and officers of an insured Party and other insured agents or employees of such a Party.

(b) Blanket Bond Loss. If only one insured Party incurs a Blanket Bond Loss relating to a Policy Year, the proceeds of the Blanket Bond Coverage for that Policy Year will be allocated to that Party. If more than one insured Party incurs a Blanket Bond Loss relating to a particular Policy Year, the proceeds of the Blanket Bond Coverage for that Policy Year will first be allocated among those insured Parties in proportion to their respective premiums paid under Paragraph 1 hereof for Blanket Bond Coverage. If, for that particular Policy Year, after initial allocation, there are remaining proceeds of the Blanket Bond Coverage and there are then insured Parties whose Blanket Bond Losses have not been paid in full, such proceeds shall be further allocated among such insured Parties in proportion to their respective premiums paid for such Coverage (repeating this further allocation procedure as each of such insured Parties is paid in full, until all proceeds have been allocated). If all Blanket Bond Losses relating to a particular Policy Year are not paid at the same time, the insured Parties who claim such Losses for that Policy Year shall make such provisions as they deem suitable to the particular circumstances (taking into account the size of any payment received, the size, nature and expected result of any remaining claims, and all other relevant factors) to permit a later re-allocation of amounts first paid. In no event shall any insured Party that incurs a Blanket Bond Loss relating to a Policy Year which equals or exceeds its Basic Bond Coverage be allocated proceeds of the Blanket Bond Coverage for that particular Policy Year in an amount less than its Basic Bond Coverage.

3. Notices. Each Party agrees to give promptly to the insurer all notices required under the Policy.

4. Agent. The Advisor is hereby appointed as the agent for all of the Parties for the purpose of making, adjusting, receiving and enforcing payment of all claims under the Policy and otherwise dealing with the insurer with respect to the Policy. All expenses incurred by the Advisor in its capacity as agent for claims shall be shared by the Parties (including the Advisor) in the same manner as above provided for the sharing of Losses.

5. Modification and Termination. This Agreement may be modified or amended from time to time by mutual written agreement among all of the Parties. It may be terminated with respect to any one Party by not less than 60 days’ written notice to the other Parties which are still parties to the Agreement. It shall terminate with respect to any Party as of the date that Party ceases to be an insured under the Policy; provided that such termination shall not affect that Party’s rights and obligations hereunder with respect to any claims on behalf of that Party which are paid under the Policy by the insurer after the date the Party ceases to be an insured under the Policy.

6. Further Assurances. Each Party agrees to perform such further acts and execute such further documents as are necessary to effectuate the purposes hereof.

In Witness Whereof, the Parties have caused this Agreement to be executed as of the day and year first above written.
