&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
FT 60/40 Target Income Portfolio is a unit investment trust that invests in ETFs which are diversified among multiple asset classes. Approximately
60% of the Trust&#x2019;s portfolio consists of U.S. equity ETFs that employ an options overwrite strategy and approximately 40% of the
portfolio consists of fixed income ETFs that are diversified among U.S. and foreign fixed income securities. The portfolio consists solely
of First Trust ETFs advised by First Trust Advisors L.P., an affiliate of the Trust&#x2019;s Sponsor. The Trust&#x2019;s portfolio will
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;The
U.S. equity ETFs held by the Trust invest primarily in dividend-paying common stocks across all market capitalizations. In addition, the
U.S. equity ETFs held by the Trust write call options on individual stocks and/or on stock indices in order to generate premium income.
The U.S. equity ETFs in the portfolio were selected based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the size and liquidity
of the U.S. equity ETFs (requiring a minimum market capitalization of $50,000,000), the current dividend yield of the U.S. equity ETFs
(prioritizing U.S. equity ETFs with the highest dividend yields), a minimum of six months of trading history, and the quality and character
of the securities held by the U.S. equity ETFs (considering the consistency and reliability of dividends from the common stocks and premium
income from the call options). All other factors being equal, the Sponsor selected U.S. equity ETFs with lower expense ratios, while attempting
to limit the overlap of the securities held by the U.S. equity ETFs. &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
fixed income ETFs held by the Trust invest primarily in fixed income securities and are diversified among U.S. and foreign fixed income
securities to provide investors with income and diversification across a broad range of fixed income asset classes, including investment
grade corporate bonds, high-yield bonds, mortgage-backed securities, U.S. Treasury Obligations, preferred securities, convertible securities,
senior loans and foreign sovereign debt. The fixed income ETFs in the portfolio were selected based on a number of factors including,
but not limited to, the size and liquidity of the fixed income ETFs (requiring a minimum market capitalization of $50,000,000), the current
dividend yield of the fixed income ETFs (prioritizing fixed income ETFs with the highest yields), a minimum of six months of trading history,
and the exposure to different fixed income asset types held by the fixed income ETFs. Additionally, the following factors are not specifically
weighted, but rather are considered in combination with the above factors to construct an overall view for each fixed income ETF that
aids in determining the fixed income ETF allocations for the Trust&#x2019;s portfolio. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 10pt/11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 100%; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 2pt"&gt;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;
&lt;td style="width: 0"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="width: 10pt"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;&#x2022;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Interest Rate Outlook/Duration.&lt;/i&gt; The duration of a bond is a measure of its price sensitivity
to interest rate movements based on the bond&#x2019;s weighted average term to maturity. In general, duration represents the expected percentage
change in the value of a security for an immediate 1% change in interest rates. For example, the price of a security with a three-year
duration would be expected to drop by approximately 3% in response to a 1% increase in interest rates. The duration of the fixed income
ETFs in the portfolio as of the Initial Date of Deposit is approximately 5 years. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 10pt/11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 100%; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 2pt"&gt;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;
&lt;td style="width: 0"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="width: 10pt"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;&#x2022;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Asset Type Valuation.&lt;/i&gt; Asset type valuation is a determination of the attractiveness of
a fixed income asset type on the basis of valuation. The relative value offered by different fixed income assets are then evaluated by
analyzing spread (yield of one fixed income asset type to the yield of another fixed income asset type), credit fundamentals (metrics
impacting overall credit risk for a fixed income asset type, including rate of default and trends in earnings), credit quality (there
is no specified limit of high yield securities as a percent of Trust assets) and supply and demand trends across the fixed income asset
types (including new issue supply and maturity of the underlying securities). The Trust has no criteria relating to maturity. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 10pt/11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 100%; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 2pt"&gt;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;
&lt;td style="width: 0"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="width: 10pt"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;&#x2022;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Asset Type Fundamentals.&lt;/i&gt; Asset type fundamentals are metrics that impact a particular
fixed income asset type, such as underlying leverage of issuers, default rates of issuers (prioritizing fixed income ETFs that hold securities
with lower rates of default), earnings and debt levels of issuers and interest coverage of issuers. There are no specific criteria for
the underlying leverage, earnings, debt levels, or interest coverage of an issuer; instead, those factors are considered in combination
with each other to construct an overall view of valuation for each fixed-income asset type that aids in determining the allocations for
the Trust&#x2019;s portfolio. The Sponsor considered the trailing 12-month default rate for high yield securities categorically and prioritized
fixed income ETFs holding securities with lower rates of default. The fundamentals are closely monitored and evaluated for trends to determine
if risk is improving or deteriorating in the asset type.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&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;&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;&#160;&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;All
other factors being equal, the Sponsor selected fixed income ETFs with lower expense ratios, while attempting to limit the overlap of
the securities held by the fixed income ETFs. &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 covenant-lite loans and depositary receipts 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;
