AUM changes daily as market prices fluctuate and as investors purchase or redeem fund shares — the figure shown here reflects the most recently available N-PORT disclosure, not the current real-time value. For the live figure, consult the fund's official website or its latest SEC EDGAR filing.

The complete list of all 9 holdings — including CUSIP, asset type, portfolio weight percentage, dollar value, and share quantity — is available in the holdings table above. Holdings data is sourced directly from SEC EDGAR N-PORT filings and reflects the fund's positions as of the report date shown at the top of this page. Due to the 60-day SEC disclosure lag, these positions may differ from the fund's current portfolio. For the latest holdings before public release, refer to SEC EDGAR directly.

How current is FIRST TRUST SENIOR FLOATING RATE INCOME FUND II's holdings data on StockSifting?
Holdings data for FIRST TRUST SENIOR FLOATING RATE INCOME FUND II on StockSifting is sourced from its most recent SEC EDGAR N-PORT filing. Under SEC rules, registered investment companies must file N-PORT reports monthly, but these are made publicly available approximately 60 days after the reporting period end date.

The Report date displayed at the top of this page indicates exactly when the underlying data was current. If the fund has made significant portfolio changes since that date — responding to market events, earnings releases, or macro shifts — those changes will not be reflected here until the next N-PORT filing is released. For the most up-to-date holdings before the public disclosure window, refer to the fund's official website or SEC EDGAR directly. StockSifting is best used for fundamental research and historical portfolio analysis, not real-time trading decisions.
