&lt;p style="font: bold 11pt/12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 4pt 0 1pt"&gt;Portfolio Selection Process.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 2pt; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;The
Trust seeks to provide investors with a high rate of current monthly income by investing across a broad range of high income paying ETFs.
The ETFs invest in various asset classes, including any combination of common stocks, floating-rate securities, high-yield securities
(also known as &#x201c;junk bonds&#x201d;), investment grade securities, preferred securities, options (utilized to generate additional
income from premiums received for writing/selling call options), mortgage-backed securities, U.S. Treasury obligations, senior loans,
covenant-lite loans and foreign securities. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 2pt; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;The
ETFs were selected by our research department based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the size and liquidity of the
ETFs (requiring a minimum market capitalization of $50,000,000), the current dividend yield of the ETFs (prioritizing ETFs with the highest
dividend yields) and the quality and character of the securities held by the ETFs (considering the consistency and reliability of the
dividend of the Funds). With respect to ETFs that invest in fixed-income securities, the Sponsor does not require specific credit quality,
maturity or duration investment policies when selecting the ETFs for the portfolio. All other factors being equal, the Sponsor will select
ETFs with lower expense ratios, while attempting to limit the overlap of the securities held by the ETFs. The Trust&#x2019;s portfolio
may include both actively managed ETFs and ETFs that track an index.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 2pt; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;In
connection with the Trust&#x2019;s investments in ETFs advised by First Trust Advisors L.P., an affiliate of the Trust&#x2019;s Sponsor,
First Trust Advisors L.P. will receive advisory fees from the underlying ETFs which it would not otherwise receive if the Trust invested
solely in ETFs advised by unaffiliated third-parties. This may provide an incentive for the Sponsor to select ETFs advised by First Trust
Advisors L.P. over ETFs advised by unaffiliated third-parties. The Sponsor may invest in an affiliated ETF even in circumstances where
an unaffiliated ETF may have lower fees or better performance over certain time periods. However, the Sponsor selected what it considered
to be the best suited ETFs to achieve the Trust&#x2019;s investment objectives even though there may be other ETFs, including those advised
by unaffiliated third-parties, that provide similar results.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 2pt; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;While
not a part of the Trust&#x2019;s portfolio selection process, the Trust has exposure to derivative instruments, depositary receipts and
companies with various market capitalizations through the Trust&#x2019;s investment in the Funds.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 2pt; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;As
with any similar investments, there can be no guarantee that the objectives of the Trust will be achieved. See &#x201c;Risk Factors&#x201d;
for a discussion of the risks of investing in the Trust.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
