FIRST TRUST/FIDUCIARY ASSET MANAGEMENT COVERED CALL FUND The investment objective of the Fund is to provide a high level of current income and gains and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of equity securities and writing (selling) covered call options on at least 80% of the Fund's managed assets. Under normal market conditions, the Fund employs an integrated investment strategy in which the Fund invests substantially all of its managed assets in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of U.S. corporations and U.S. dollar-denominated equity securities of foreign issuers, in each case that are traded on U.S. securities exchanges, and on an ongoing and consistent basis, writes (sells) covered call options on at least 80% of the Fund's managed assets. FUND RECAP During this six-month period ended June 30, 2007, the Fund produced a net asset value ("NAV") total return of 6.2%. This compared to a 3.8% return for the CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite Index and a 7.0% return for the S&P 500 Index. The Lehman U.S. Aggregate Fixed Income Index returned 1.0% for the year-to-date period ending June 30, 2007. The market price total return of the Fund was 3.8%. The Fund declared and paid two quarterly dividends to shareholders during the first six months of 2007. The aggregate amount of these dividends, $0.80 per share, represented ordinary income earned by the Fund's investment portfolio throughout the time period, and computes to an annualized yield of 8.0% on the initial offering price of $20.00 per share. The current annualized yield based on the June 30, 2007 market price of $18.30 is 8.7%. Page 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PORTFOLIO COMMENTARY-CONTINUED -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MARKET RECAP After growing at a rate of only 0.7% in the first quarter, the U.S. economy rebounded to an annualized 3.4% rate in the second quarter as companies restocked inventories. Although the Federal Reserve Bank has repeatedly forecast accelerating growth in the second half of this year, we are skeptical such strong growth will occur. Restrictive monetary policy entering its fourth year, near record gasoline prices, a severe housing recession and slowing employment will likely inhibit economic growth in the coming months. A slowing economy can bring investors good news to offset the impact of slower growth. Apart from food and energy inflation, "core consumption" prices are likely to continue their moderating trend at rates below 2% per annum. Declining inflation rates usually stabilize or lower bond yields and elevate equity price/earnings ratios. This favorable economic environment helped to drive the broader market up nearly 7% through the first six months of the year, notwithstanding a mid-first quarter pull-back due to uncertainties surrounding credit markets and the sub-prime mortgage industry. PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS As investor appetite for risk increased year-to-date, valuations for higher-growth industries have correspondingly improved. The portfolio's largest sector concentrations - industrial and information technology - appropriately reflect the firm's top-down theme of favoring large-cap growth equities. For the year-to-date period, these two sectors generated the majority of excess return performance for the underlying equity portfolio relative to an S&P 500 Index benchmark, benefiting from continued global demand in the machinery, aerospace and technology industries. The Fund's exposure to the consumer discretionary sector similarly outpaced benchmark returns, particularly given the Fund's large allocation to the casino industry which continues to attract private equity investment attention due to favorable valuations and strong cash flow growth. Despite the Fund's underweight allocation to the financial sector, and in particular, the banking industry, the aforementioned concerns regarding the mortgage loan industry negatively impacted overall performance in the Fund's financial equity holdings. The Fund's exposure to the healthcare sector similarly adversely impacted relative performance, with the Fund's exposure to biotechnology and healthcare services industries underperforming the slower growth pharmaceutical industries. SUB-ADVISOR Q&A HOW DID THE FUND ATTAIN ITS NAV PERFORMANCE? The Fund's notable NAV performance for the six-month period was due to both an appropriate strategic allocation to the higher growth sectors of the equity market as well as an option overlay strategy that was able to capture the majority of upside in underlying equity performance despite a relatively strong market environment. In contrast, the CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite Index was limited to capturing just over half of the performance in its underlying equities portfolio, the S&P 500 Index. WHAT IS YOUR OVERALL OUTLOOK FOR FFA? Reflecting our economic views, our equity strategy continues to emphasize growth companies in the technology and industrial sectors, which benefit from global trade and are less vulnerable to slower U.S. growth. We have de-emphasized retail stocks, which are more vulnerable to potentially weakening domestic spending. Although financials represent approximately 27% of the S&P 500 earnings, we intend to remain underweighted in this sector until there is more evidence of easing Fed monetary policy. Our slow-growth scenario for the U.S. economy provides a framework for declining long-term interest rates. In time, the Fed will react to lower inflation by easing its tight monetary policy, which we believe will ignite an equity market rally. Furthermore, market volatility levels have consequently moved markedly higher since the beginning of the year, offering increasingly attractive prices on option premium collection for further enhancing returns within the covered call strategy.

FUND DESCRIPTION First Trust/Fiduciary Asset Management Covered Call Fund (the "Fund") is a diversified, closed-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust on May 20, 2004 and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The Fund trades under the ticker symbol FFA on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). The Fund's investment objective is to provide a high level of current income and gains and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of equity securities and writing (selling) call options on at least 80% of the Fund's Managed Assets ("Managed Assets" means the average daily gross assets of the Fund minus the sum of the Fund's accrued and unpaid dividends on any outstanding Common Shares and accrued liabilities, including the value of call options written). There can be no assurance that the Fund's investment objective will be achieved. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A. PORTFOLIO VALUATION: The Fund determines the net asset value ("NAV") of its shares daily, as of the close of regular session trading on the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, on each day the NYSE is open for trading. 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, the value of call options written (sold) and dividends declared but unpaid), by the total number of Common Shares outstanding. The Fund's investments are valued at market value, or in the absence of market value with respect to any portfolio securities, at fair value according to procedures adopted by the Fund's Board of Trustees. 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 trading on the NASDAQ, are valued at the closing bid prices. Fixed income securities with a remaining maturity of 60 days or more will be valued by the Fund using a pricing service. Short-term investments that mature in less than 60 days are valued at amortized cost. The Fund values exchange-traded options and other derivative contracts at the closing price on the exchange on which they are principally traded, or if not traded, or no closing price is available, at the mean between the last bid and asked price. B. OPTION CONTRACTS: COVERED OPTIONS. When the Fund purchases equity securities, it simultaneously writes (sells) covered call or put options ("options") on substantially all of such equity securities. The number of options the Fund can write (sell) is limited by the amount of equity securities the Fund holds in its portfolio. The Fund will not write (sell) "naked" or uncovered options. By writing (selling) options, the Fund seeks to generate additional income, in the form of premiums received for writing (selling) the options, and provide a partial hedge against a market decline in the underlying equity security. Options are marked-to-market daily and their value will be affected by changes in the value and dividend rates of the underlying equity securities, an increase in interest rates, changes in the actual or perceived volatility of the securities markets and the underlying equity securities and the remaining time to the options' expiration. The value of options may also be adversely affected if the market for the options becomes less liquid or smaller. Options the Fund writes (sells) will either be exercised, expire or be cancelled pursuant to a closing transaction. If the price of the underlying equity security exceeds the option's exercise price, it is likely that the option holder will exercise the option. If an option written (sold) by the Fund is exercised, the Fund would be obligated to deliver the underlying equity security to the option holder upon Page 17 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FIRST TRUST/FIDUCIARY ASSET MANAGEMENT COVERED CALL FUND JUNE 30, 2007 (UNAUDITED) payment of the exercise price. In this case, the option premium received by the Fund will be added to the amount realized on the sale of the underlying equity security for purposes of determining gain or loss. If the price of the underlying equity security is less than the option's exercise price, the option will likely expire without being exercised. The option premium received by the Fund will, in this case, be treated as short-term capital gain on the expiration date of the option. The Fund may also elect to close out its position in an option prior to its expiration by purchasing an option of the same series as the option written (sold) by the Fund. The Fund writes (sells) options on at least 80% of the Fund's Managed Assets. These options give the option holder the right, but not the obligation, to purchase a security from the Fund at the strike price on or prior to the option's expiration date. The ability to successfully implement the Fund's investment strategy depends on the ability of Fiduciary Asset Management, LLC ("Fiduciary" or the "Sub-Advisor") to predict pertinent market movements, which cannot be assured. Thus, the use of options may require the Fund to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times or for prices other than current market value, may limit the amount of appreciation the Fund can realize on an investment, or may cause the Fund to hold a security that it might otherwise sell. As the writer (seller) of a covered option, the Fund forgoes, during the option's life, the opportunity to profit from increases in the market value of the security covering the option above the sum of the premium and the strike price of the option, but has retained the risk of loss should the price of the underlying security decline. The writer (seller) of an option has no control over the time when it may be required to fulfill its obligation as a writer (seller) of the option. Once an option writer (seller) has received an exercise notice, it cannot effect a closing purchase transaction in order to terminate its obligation under the option and must deliver the underlying security to the option holder at the exercise price. C. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME: Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis, including amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. D. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Dividends from net investment income of the Fund are declared and paid quarterly or as the Board of Trustees may determine from time to time. Distributions of any net realized capital gains earned by the Fund are distributed at least annually. Distributions will automatically be reinvested into additional Common Shares pursuant to the Fund's Dividend Reinvestment Plan unless cash distributions are elected by the shareholder. Distributions from income and realized capital gains are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investment securities held by the Fund, timing differences and differing characterization of distributions made by the Fund. The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 is as follows: Distributions paid from: Ordinary Income................................ $ 26,007,917 Long-Term Capital Gains........................ 5,949,145 As of December 31, 2006, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows: Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains.......... $ 1,141,089 Net Unrealized Depreciation.................... (10,037,577) E. INCOME TAXES: The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and by distributing substantially all of its net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal or state income taxes. Page 18 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FIRST TRUST/FIDUCIARY ASSET MANAGEMENT COVERED CALL FUND JUNE 30, 2007 (UNAUDITED) In June 2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 ("FIN 48") was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. This Interpretation prescribes a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. As of June 30, 2007, management has evaluated the application of FIN 48 to the Fund, and has determined that there is no material impact resulting from the adoption of this Interpretation on the Fund's financial statements. F. EXPENSES: The Fund pays all expenses directly related to its operations. G. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT: In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157") was issued by the FASB and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 could have on the Fund's financial statement disclosures. 3. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS First Trust Advisors L.P. ("First Trust") is a limited partnership with one limited partner, Grace Partners of DuPage L.P., and one general partner, The Charger Corporation. First Trust serves as investment advisor to the Fund pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement. First Trust is responsible for the ongoing monitoring of the Fund's investment portfolio, managing the Fund's business affairs and certain administrative services necessary for the management of the Fund. For these investment management services, First Trust is entitled to a monthly fee calculated at an annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund's Managed Assets. Fiduciary serves as the Fund's sub-advisor and manages the Fund's portfolio subject to First Trust's supervision. The Sub-Advisor receives a portfolio management fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.50% of the Fund's Managed Assets that is paid monthly by First Trust out of its investment advisory fee. On April 13, 2007, Piper Jaffray Companies announced a definitive agreement to acquire Fiduciary for approximately $66 million in cash (the "Acquisition"). Subject to certain approvals, the Acquisition is expected to be completed during 2007. The Acquisition, if completed, will result in a change of control of Fiduciary which would constitute an assignment of the sub-advisory agreement among the Fund, Fiduciary and First Trust, thus having the effect under the 1940 Act of automatically terminating the sub-advisory agreement. The Board of Trustees of the Fund has been evaluating the Fund's alternatives. PFPC Inc. ("PFPC"), an indirect, majority-owned subsidiary of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., serves as the Fund's Administrator and Transfer Agent in accordance with certain fee arrangements. PFPC Trust Company, also an indirect, majority-owned subsidiary of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., serves as the Fund's Custodian in accordance with certain fee arrangements. Effective January 1, 2007, the Trustees approved a revised compensation plan. Under the revised plan, each Trustee who is not an officer or employee of First Trust, any sub-advisor or any of their affiliates ("Independent Trustees") is paid an annual retainer of $10,000 per investment company for the first 14 investment companies of the First Trust Fund Complex and an annual retainer of $7,500 per investment company for each subsequent investment company added to the First Trust Fund Complex. The annual retainer is allocated equally among each of the investment companies. No additional meeting fees are paid in connection with board or committee meetings. Additionally, Thomas R. Kadlec is paid $10,000 annually to serve as the Lead Independent Trustee and Niel B. Nielson is paid $5,000 annually to serve as the chairman of the Audit Committee with such compensation paid by the funds in the First Trust Fund Complex and divided among those funds. Independent Trustees are also reimbursed by the investment companies in the First Trust Fund Complex for travel and out-of-pocket expenses in connection with all meetings. The Trustees adopted the revised plan because the increase in the number of funds in the First Trust Fund Complex had the effect of rapidly increasing their compensation under the previous arrangements. Prior to January 1, 2007, each fund paid each Independent Trustee an annual retainer of $10,000, which included compensation for all board and committee meetings.

COMMON SHARES As of June 30, 2007, 19,973,164 of $0.01 par value Common Shares were issued and outstanding. An unlimited number of Common Shares has been authorized under the Fund's Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Page 20 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ADDITIONAL INFORMATION -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FIRST TRUST/FIDUCIARY ASSET MANAGEMENT COVERED CALL FUND JUNE 30, 2007 (UNAUDITED) DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN If your Common Shares are registered directly with the Fund or if you hold your Common Shares with a brokerage firm that participates in the Fund's Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the "Plan"), unless you elect, by written notice to the Fund, to receive cash distributions, all dividends, including any capital gain distributions on your Common Shares will be automatically reinvested by PFPC Inc. (the "Plan Agent") in additional Common Shares under the Plan. If you elect to receive cash distributions, you will receive all distributions in cash paid by check mailed directly to you by PFPC Inc. as dividend paying agent. If you decide to participate in the Plan, the number of Common Shares you will receive will be determined as follows: (1) If Common Shares are trading at or above NAV at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at a price equal to the greater of (i) NAV per Common Share on that date or (ii) 95% of the market price on that date. (2) If Common Shares are trading below NAV at the time of valuation, the Plan Agent will receive the dividend or distribution in cash and will purchase Common Shares in the open market, on the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere, for the participants' accounts. It is possible that the market price for the Common Shares may increase before the Plan Agent has completed its purchases. Therefore, the average purchase price per share paid by the Plan Agent may exceed the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the purchase of fewer shares than if the dividend or distribution had been paid in Common Shares issued by the Fund. The Plan Agent will use all dividends and distributions received in cash to purchase Common Shares in the open market within 30 days of the valuation date except where temporary curtailment or suspension of purchases is necessary to comply with federal securities laws. Interest will not be paid on any uninvested cash payments. You may elect to opt-out of or withdraw from the Plan at any time by giving written notice to the Plan Agent, or by telephone at (800) 331-1710, in accordance with such reasonable requirements as the Plan Agent and Fund may agree upon. If you withdraw or the Plan is terminated, you will receive a certificate for each whole share in your account under the Plan and you will receive a cash payment for any fraction of a share in your account. If you wish, the Plan Agent will sell your shares and send you the proceeds, minus brokerage commissions. The Plan Agent maintains all Common Shareholders' accounts in the Plan and gives written confirmation of all transactions in the accounts, including information you may need for tax records. Common Shares in your account will be held by the Plan Agent in non-certificated form. The Plan Agent will forward to each participant any proxy solicitation material and will vote any shares so held only in accordance with proxies returned to the Fund. Any proxy you receive will include all Common Shares you have received under the Plan. There is no brokerage charge for reinvestment of your dividends or distributions in Common Shares. However, all participants will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred by the Plan Agent when it makes open market purchases. Automatically reinvesting dividends and distributions does not mean that you do not have to pay income taxes due upon receiving dividends and distributions. Capital gains and income are realized, although cash is not received by you. Consult your financial advisor for more information. If you hold your Common Shares with a brokerage firm that does not participate in the Plan, you will not be able to participate in the Plan and any dividend reinvestment may be effected on different terms than those described above. The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan if in the judgment of the Board of Trustees the change is warranted. There is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan; however, the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants. Additional information about the Plan may be obtained by writing PFPC Inc., 301 Bellevue Parkway, Wilmington, Delaware 19809. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES A description of the policies and procedures that the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies and information on how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available (1) without charge, upon request, by calling (800) 988-5891; (2) on the Fund's website located at http://www.ftportfolios.com; and (3) on the Securities and Exchange Commission's website at http://www.sec.gov.

Page 22 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FIRST TRUST/FIDUCIARY ASSET MANAGEMENT COVERED CALL FUND JUNE 30, 2007 (UNAUDITED) ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS BOARD CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING CONTINUATION OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACTS The Board of Trustees of First Trust/Fiduciary Asset Management Covered Call Fund (the "Fund"), including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the continuation of the Investment Management Agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") between the Fund and First Trust Advisors L.P. (the "Advisor") and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement (the "Sub-Advisory Agreement" and together with the Advisory Agreement, the "Agreements") among the Fund, the Advisor and Fiduciary Asset Management, LLC (the "Sub-Advisor"), at a meeting held on March 12, 2007. The Board determined that the terms of the Agreements are fair and reasonable and that the Agreements continue to be in the best interests of the Fund. To reach this determination, the Board considered its duties under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as well as under the general principles of state law in reviewing and approving advisory contracts; the requirements of the 1940 Act in such matters; the fiduciary duty of investment advisers with respect to advisory agreements and compensation; the standards used by courts in determining whether investment company boards have fulfilled their duties; and the factors to be considered by the Board in voting on such agreements. To assist the Board in its evaluation of the Agreements, the Independent Trustees received a separate report from each of the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor in advance of the Board meeting responding to a request for information from counsel to the Independent Trustees. The reports, among other things, outlined the services provided by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor (including the relevant personnel responsible for these services and their experience); the advisory and sub-advisory fees for the Fund as compared to fees charged by investment advisors and sub-advisors to comparable funds and as compared to fees charged to other clients of the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor; expenses of the Fund as compared to expense ratios of comparable funds; the nature of expenses incurred in providing services to the Fund and the potential for economies of scale, if any; financial data on the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor; any fall-out benefits to the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor; and information on the Advisor's and the Sub-Advisor's compliance programs. The Independent Trustees also met separately with their independent legal counsel to discuss the information provided by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor. The Board applied its business judgment to determine whether the arrangements between the Fund and the Advisor and among the Fund, the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor are reasonable business arrangements from the Fund's perspective as well as from the perspective of shareholders. In reviewing the Agreements, the Board considered the nature, quality and extent of services provided by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor under the Agreements. With respect to the Advisory Agreement, the Board considered that the Advisor is responsible for the overall management and administration of the Fund, including the oversight of the Sub-Advisor. The Board noted the compliance program that had been developed by the Advisor and considered that the compliance program includes policies and procedures for monitoring the Sub-Advisor's compliance with the 1940 Act and the Fund's investment objectives and policies. With respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board received a presentation from representatives of the Sub-Advisor discussing the services that the Sub-Advisor provides to the Fund and how the Sub-Advisor meets the Fund's investment objectives. In light of the information presented and the considerations made, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and extent of services provided to the Fund by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor under the Agreements have been and are expected to remain satisfactory and that the Sub-Advisor has managed the Fund consistent with its investment objectives and policies. The Board considered the advisory and sub-advisory fees paid under the Agreements. The Board reviewed data prepared by Lipper Inc. ("LIPPER"), an independent source, showing the management fees and expense ratios of the Fund as compared to the management fees and expense ratios of one peer group selected by Lipper and a second peer group selected by the Advisor. The Board discussed with representatives of the Advisor the differences between the two peer groups and the limitations in creating a relevant peer group for the Fund. Based on the information provided, the Board noted that the Fund's management fees were in the fifth quintile of both the Lipper peer group and the Advisor peer group and that the Fund's expense ratio was in the fourth quintile of both the Lipper peer group and the Advisor peer group. The Board also considered the sub-advisory fee rate and how it related to the overall management fee structure of the Fund and noted that the Advisor pays the Sub-Advisor out of the advisory fees it receives from the Fund. Finally, the Board considered the advisory fees paid to the Advisor by similar funds, and noted that the Advisor does not provide advisory services to clients with investment objectives and policies similar to the Fund's. The Board also considered information provided by the Sub-Advisor as to the fees it charges to other clients. Page 23 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FIRST TRUST/FIDUCIARY ASSET MANAGEMENT COVERED CALL FUND JUNE 30, 2007 (UNAUDITED) The Board also considered the Fund's performance for the one- and two-year periods ended December 31, 2006, as applicable, as compared to the performance of a relevant benchmark index and to a performance universe selected by Lipper. The Board noted that the Fund's performance was in the fifth quintile of the performance universe for both periods and that the Fund underperformed its benchmark for the one-year period. The Board noted the Sub-Advisor's representation that the Fund's hedged strategy will typically underperform in strong markets and that the Fund's large cap growth investment strategy has been out of favor. The Board also considered performance data provided by the Advisor for the one-year and since-inception periods. The Board also considered an analysis of the Fund's premium/discount prepared by the Advisor and noted that the Fund's premium/discount was generally indicative of the asset class. The Board concluded that the Fund's performance was reasonable. On the basis of all the information provided on the fees, expenses and performance of the Fund, the Board concluded that the advisory and sub-advisory fees were reasonable and appropriate in light of the nature, quality and extent of services provided by the Advisor and Sub-Advisor under the Agreements. The Board noted that the Advisor has continued to invest in personnel and infrastructure but had not identified any economies of scale realized by the Fund and had indicated that, because the Fund is a closed-end fund that is not issuing more shares other than pursuant to its dividend reinvestment plan, the Advisor believed that any discussion of economies of scale was not meaningful. The Board concluded that the management fee reflects an appropriate level of sharing of any economies of scale. The Board also considered the costs of the services provided and profits realized by the Advisor from serving as investment manager to closed-end funds for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, as set forth in the materials provided to the Board. The Board noted the inherent limitations in the profitability analysis, and concluded that the Advisor's profitability appeared to be not unreasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund. In addition, the Board considered and discussed any ancillary benefits derived by the Advisor from its relationship with the Fund and noted that the typical fall-out benefits to the Advisor such as soft dollars are not present. The Board concluded that any other fall-out benefits received by the Advisor or its affiliates would appear to be attenuated. The Board considered the Sub-Advisor's representation that economies of scale are not as evident in regards to closed-end funds since the assets are fixed and that any economies of scale realized by the Sub-Advisor will be across a variety of products and services and not only in respect to the Fund. The Board considered that the sub-advisory fee rate was negotiated at arm's length between the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor, an unaffiliated third party. The Board also considered data provided by the Sub-Advisor as to the profitability of the Sub-Advisory Agreement to the Sub-Advisor. The Board noted the inherent limitations in this profitability analysis and concluded that the profitability analysis for the Advisor was more relevant, although the profitability of the Sub-Advisory Agreement appeared to be not unreasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund. The Board considered the fall-out benefits realized by the Sub-Advisor from its relationship with the Fund, including soft-dollar arrangements, and considered the Sub-Advisor's summary of its soft-dollar policies and procedures. Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined that the terms of the Agreements continue to be fair and reasonable and that the continuation of the Agreements is in the best interests of the Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board's analysis. PRIVACY POLICY The open-end and closed-end funds advised by First Trust Advisors L.P.
