o All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on
net assets.
(a) This Senior Loan Interest was privately rated upon issuance. The
rating agency does not provide ongoing surveillance on the rating.

(b) All or a portion of this issue is designated in connection with
unfunded loan commitments.

(d) This issue is secured by a second lien on the issuer's assets. The
second lien security interest is subordinated to other debt holders.

+ Ratings below Baa3 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or BBB-
by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group are considered to be below
investment grade.

NR Not Rated

* Senior Loans in the Fund's portfolio generally are subject to
mandatory and/or optional prepayment. Because of the mandatory
prepayment conditions and because there may be significant economic
incentives for a Borrower to prepay, prepayments of Senior Loans in
the Fund's portfolio may occur. As a result, the actual remaining
maturity of Senior Loans held in the Fund's portfolio might be
substantially less than the stated maturities shown in the listing
of the Porfolio of Investments. Although the Fund is unable to
accurately estimate the actual remaining maturity of individual
Senior Loans, the Fund estimates that the actual average maturity of
the Senior Loans held in its portfolio will be appoximately 18-30
months.

** Senior Loans may be considered to be restricted in that the Fund
ordinarily is contractually obligated to receive approval from the
Agent Bank and/or Borrower prior to the disposition of a Senior
Loan.

MACQUARIE/FIRST TRUST GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE/UTILITIES DIVIDEND & INCOME FUND
FEBRUARY 28, 2005

1. VALUATION AND INVESTMENT PRACTICES

PORTFOLIO VALUATION:

The net asset value ("NAV") of the Common Shares of the Fund is computed based
upon the value of the Fund's portfolio and other assets. The NAV is determined
as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"),
normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, on each day the NYSE is open for trading.
Domestic debt securities and foreign securities are priced using data reflecting
the earlier closing of the principal markets for those securities. The NAV is
computed by dividing the value of all assets of the Fund (including accrued
interest and dividends), less all liabilities (including accrued expenses,
dividends declared but unpaid and any borrowings of the Fund), by the total
number of shares outstanding.

The Fund's investments are valued daily at market value, or in the absence of
market value with respect to any portfolio securities, at fair value in
accordance with valuation procedures adopted by the Fund's Board of Trustees. A
majority of the Fund's assets are valued using market information supplied by
third parties. In the event that market quotations are not readily available,
the pricing service does not provide a valuation for a particular asset, or the
valuations are deemed unreliable, or if events occurring after the close of the
principal markets for particular securities (e.g., domestic debt and foreign
securities), but before the Fund values its assets, would materially affect NAV,
First Trust Advisors L.P. ("First Trust") may use a fair value method to value
the Fund's securities and investments. The use of fair value pricing by the Fund
is governed by valuation procedures adopted by the Fund's Board of Trustees, in
accordance with the provisions of the 1940 Act.

Foreign securities traded outside the United States are generally valued as of
the time their trading is complete, which is usually different from the close of
the NYSE. Occasionally, events affecting the value of such securities may occur
between such times and the close of the NYSE that will not always be reflected
in the computation of the value of such securities. If events materially
affecting the value of such securities occur during such period, these
securities will be valued at their fair value according to procedures adopted by
the Fund's Board of Trustees. All securities and other assets of the Fund
initially expressed in foreign currencies will be converted to U.S. dollars
using exchange rates in effect at the time of valuation.

Portfolio securities listed on any exchange other than the NASDAQ National
Market ("NASDAQ") are valued at the last sale price on the business day as of
which such value is being determined. If there has been no sale on such day, the
securities are valued at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices on
such day. Securities traded on the NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official
Closing Price as determined by NASDAQ. Portfolio securities traded on more than
one securities exchange are valued at the last sale price on the business day as
of which such value is being determined at the close of the exchange
representing the principal market for such securities. Portfolio securities
traded in the over-the-counter market, but excluding securities traded on the
NASDAQ, are valued at the closing bid prices. Short-term investments that mature
in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost.

The Senior Floating Rate Loan Interests ("Senior Loans") in which the Fund
invests are not listed on any securities exchange or board of trade. Senior
Loans are typically bought and sold by institutional investors in individually
negotiated private transactions that function in many respects like an
over-the-counter secondary market, although typically no formal market-makers
exist. This market, while having grown substantially in the past several years,
generally has fewer trades and less liquidity than the secondary market for
other types of securities. Some Senior Loans have few or no trades, or trade
infrequently, and information regarding a specific Senior Loan may not be widely
available or may be incomplete. Accordingly, determinations of the market value
of Senior Loans may be based on infrequent and dated information. Because there
is less reliable, objective data available, elements of judgment may play a
greater role in valuation of Senior Loans than for other types of securities.
Typically Senior Loans are valued using information provided by an independent
third party pricing service. If the pricing service cannot or does not provide a
valuation for a particular Senior Loan or such valuation is deemed unreliable,
First Trust may value such Senior Loan at a fair value as determined in
accordance with procedures adopted by the Fund's Board of Trustees.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENT:

The Fund engages in repurchase agreement transactions. Under the terms of a
typical repurchase agreement, the Fund takes possession of an underlying debt
obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Fund to
resell the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time, thereby determining the
yield during the Fund's holding period. This arrangement results in a fixed rate
of return that is not subject to market fluctuations during the Fund's holding
period. The value of the collateral is at all times at least equal to the total
amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. In the event of
counterparty default, the Fund has the right to use the collateral to offset
losses incurred. There is potential loss to the Fund in the event the Fund is
delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral
securities, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the
underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its
rights. The Fund reviews the value of the collateral and the creditworthiness of
those banks and dealers with which the Fund enters into repurchase agreements to
evaluate potential risks.

SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS:

Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Realized gains and
losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis.

UNFUNDED LOAN COMMITMENTS:

The Fund may enter into certain credit agreements, all or a portion of which may
be unfunded. The Fund is obligated to fund these loan commitments at the
borrower's discretion. These commitments are disclosed in the accompanying
Portfolio of Investments.

2. UNREALIZED APPRECIATION/(DEPRECIATION)

As of February 28, 2005, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all
securities in which there was an excess of value over tax cost was $39,253,761
and the aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all securities in which
there was an excess of tax cost over value was $39,166.

ITEM 2. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

(a) The registrant's principal executive and principal financial officers,

(b) There were no changes in the registrant's internal control over
financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the 1940 Act (17
CFR 270.30a-3(d)) that occurred during the registrant's last fiscal
quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, the registrant's internal control over financial
reporting.
