First Trust Exchange-Traded Fund IV

July 31, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

Valuation Inputs

 

The Funds are 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.

(a) Senior Floating-Rate Loan Interests (“Senior Loans”) in which the Fund invests generally 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) This issuer has filed for protection in bankruptcy court.
(d) 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, 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 July 31, 2020, securities noted as such amounted to $94,108,776 or 7.1% of net assets.

(e) Senior Payment-in-kind (“PIK”) Toggle Note. The issuer may, at its option, elect to pay interest on the notes (1) entirely in cash or (2) entirely in PIK interest. Interest paid in cash will accrue at the rate of 8.50% per annum (“Cash Interest Rate”) and PIK interest will accrue on the notes at a rate per annum equal to the Cash Interest Rate plus 75 basis points. For the fiscal year-to-date period (November 1, 2019 through July 31, 2020), this security paid all of its interest in cash.
(f) Pursuant to procedures adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees, this security has been determined to be illiquid by the Advisor.
(g) Non-income producing security.
(h) This security’s value was determined using significant unobservable inputs (see Valuation Inputs section).
(i) 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 provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. At July 31, 2020, securities noted as such are valued at $0 or 0.0% of net assets.
(j) Rate shown reflects yield as of July 31, 2020.
(k) Aggregate cost for financial reporting purposes approximates the aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes. As of July 31, 2020, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all investments in which there was an excess of value over tax cost was $5,723,069 and the aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all investments in which there was an excess of tax cost over value was $61,840,144. The net unrealized depreciation was $56,117,075.

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.

A summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of July 31, 2020 is as follows:

(a) This security, sold within the terms of a private placement memorandum, is exempt from registration upon resale under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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. (“First Trust” or 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 July 31, 2020, securities noted as such amounted to $1,234,454,742 or 63.4% of net assets.
(b) This security or a portion of this security is segregated as collateral for investments sold short.
(c) These notes are Senior Payment-In-Kind (“PIK”) Toggle Notes whereby the issuer may, at its option, elect to pay interest on the notes (1) entirely in cash or (2) entirely in PIK interest. Interest paid in cash will accrue at the rate of 8.50% per annum (“Cash Interest Rate”) and PIK interest will accrue on the notes at a rate per annum equal to the Cash Interest Rate plus 75 basis points. For the fiscal year-to-date period (November 1, 2019 through July 31, 2020), this security paid all of its interest in cash.
(d) This issuer has filed for protection in bankruptcy court.
(e) This issuer is in default and interest is not being accrued by the Fund nor paid by the issuer.
(f) Pursuant to procedures adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees, this security has been determined to be illiquid by the Advisor.
(g) Senior Floating-Rate Loan Interests (“Senior Loans”) in which the Fund invests generally 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.
(h) 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.
(i) Non-income producing security.
(j) Rate shown reflects yield as of July 31, 2020.
(k) Aggregate cost for financial reporting purposes approximates the aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes. As of July 31, 2020, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all investments in which there was an excess of value over tax cost was $63,835,491 and the aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all investments in which there was an excess of tax cost over value was $42,841,118. The net unrealized appreciation was $20,994,373. The amounts presented are inclusive of investments sold short.
(l) Zero coupon security.

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.

 

A summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of July 31, 2020 is as follows:

(a) Floating or variable rate security.
(b) 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, 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 Fund’s 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 July 31, 2020, securities noted as such amounted to $1,110,069,413 or 21.9% of net assets.
(c) Fixed-to-floating or fixed-to-variable rate security. The interest rate shown reflects the fixed rate in effect at July 31, 2020. At a predetermined date, the fixed rate will change to a floating rate or a variable rate.
(d) Collateral Strip Rate security. Coupon is based on the weighted net interest rate of the investment’s underlying collateral. The interest rate resets periodically.
(e) Zero coupon security.
(f) Aggregate cost for financial reporting purposes approximates the aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes. As of July 31, 2020, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all investments in which there was an excess of value over tax cost was $19,789,001 and the aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all investments in which there was an excess of tax cost over value was $2,018,403. The net unrealized appreciation was $17,770,598.

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.
 
A summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of July 31, 2020 is as follows:

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.

 

A summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of July 31, 2020 is as follows:

(a) Floating or variable rate security.
(b) Zero coupon security.
(c) Collateral Strip Rate bond. Coupon is based on the weighted net interest rate of the investment’s underlying collateral. The interest rate resets periodically.
(d) Inverse floating rate security.
(e) Weighted Average Coupon security. Coupon is based on the blended interest rate of the underlying holdings, which may have different coupons. The coupon may change in any period.

(h) 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, 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 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 July 31, 2020, securities noted as such amounted to $260,545,061 or 4.5% of net assets.
(i) All or a portion of this security is part of a mortgage dollar roll agreement.
(j) Step security. The coupon rate is determined based on the underlying investments. The coupon rate resets periodically.
(k) Investment in an affiliated fund.
(l) Rate shown reflects yield as of July 31, 2020.
(m) Aggregate cost for financial reporting purposes approximates the aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes. As of July 31, 2020, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all investments in which there was an excess of value over tax cost was $194,279,640 and the aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all investments in which there was an excess of tax cost over value was $57,342,583. The net unrealized appreciation was $136,937,057. The amounts presented are inclusive of investments sold short and derivative contracts.

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.

 

A summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of July 31, 2020 is as follows:

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.
