(a) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net
assets.
(b) All or a portion of the securities are available to serve as collateral on
the outstanding loan.
(c) This security is fair valued in accordance with procedures adopted by the
Fund's Board of Trustees.
(d) Ratings below Baa3 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or BBB- by Standard &

NOTES TO QUARTERLY PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS
MACQUARIE/FIRST TRUST GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE/UTILITIES DIVIDEND & INCOME FUND
FEBRUARY 28, 2009 (UNAUDITED)
1. VALUATION AND INVESTMENT PRACTICES
A. PORTFOLIO VALUATION:
The net asset value ("NAV") of the Common Shares of Macquarie/First Trust Global
Infrastructure/Utilities Dividend & Income Fund (the "Fund") is determined daily
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 per
Common Share is calculated 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 Common 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, the Fund's Board of Trustees has designated
First Trust Advisors L.P. ("First Trust") to use a fair value method to value
the Fund's securities and other investments. Additionally, if events occur after
the close of the principal markets for particular securities (e.g., domestic
debt and foreign securities), but before the Fund values its assets, that could
materially affect NAV, First Trust may use a fair value method to value the
Fund's securities and other investments. The use of fair value pricing by the
Fund is governed by valuation procedures adopted by the Fund's Board of
Trustees, and in accordance with the provisions of the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements
("FAS 157"), effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. This
standard clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional
disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. The three levels of the
fair value hierarchy under FAS 157 are described below:
- Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
- Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices
for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit
risk, etc.)
- Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own
assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an
indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. A summary
of the inputs used to value the Fund's investments as of February 28, 2009 is
included with the Fund's Portfolio of Investments.
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 valuation 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.
The Senior Floating-Rate Loans ("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 according to valuation procedures
adopted by the Fund's Board of Trustees, and in accordance with the provisions
of the 1940 Act.

MACQUARIE/FIRST TRUST GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE/UTILITIES DIVIDEND & INCOME FUND
FEBRUARY 28, 2009 (UNAUDITED)
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 ask 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. Short-term investments that mature in less
than 60 days are valued at amortized cost.
B. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS:
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 obligation, 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 risk of 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. At February 28, 2009, there were no outstanding repurchase
agreements.
C. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS:
Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Realized gains and
losses from securities transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.
Distributions received from the Fund's investments in Master Limited
Partnerships ("MLPs") generally are comprised of return of capital from the MLP
to the extent of the cost basis of such MLP investments.
Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be
settled a month or more after the trade date; interest income on such securities
is not accrued until settlement date. The Fund maintains liquid assets with a
current value at least equal to the amount of its when-issued or
delayed-delivery purchase commitments. At February 28, 2009, the Fund had no
when-issued or delayed-delivery purchase commitments.
D. UNFUNDED LOAN COMMITMENTS:
The Fund may enter into certain credit agreements, all or a portion of which may
be unfunded. As of February 28, 2009, the Fund had no unfunded loan commitments.

ITEM 2. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
(a) The registrant's principal executive and principal financial officers,
or persons performing similar functions, have concluded that the
registrant's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule
30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
"1940 Act") (17 CFR 270.30a-3(c))) are effective, as of a date within
90 days of the filing date of the report that includes the disclosure
required by this paragraph, based on their evaluation of these
controls and procedures required by Rule 30a-3(b) under the 1940 Act
(17 CFR 270.30a-3(b)) and Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (17 CFR 240.13a-15(b) or
240.15d-15(b)).
(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
