(a)   All of these securities are available to serve as collateral for the
      outstanding loans.

(b)   Floating rate security.

(c)   This security, sold within the terms of a private placement memorandum, is
      exempt from registration under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933,
      as amended (the "1933 Act"), and may be resold in transactions exempt from
      registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. Pursuant to
      procedures adopted by the Fund's Board of Trustees, this security has been
      determined to be liquid by Aberdeen Asset Management Inc., (the
      "Sub-Advisor"). Although market instability can result in periods of
      increased overall market illiquidity, liquidity for each security is
      determined based on security specific factors and assumptions, which
      require subjective judgment. At September 30, 2017, securities noted as
      such amounted to $53,999,069 or 31.9% of net assets.

(d)   Zero coupon bond.

(e)   Portfolio securities are included in a country based upon their underlying
      credit exposure as determined by the Sub-Advisor.

      court.

(g)   This security, sold within the terms of a private placement memorandum, is
      exempt from registration upon resale under Rule 144A under the 1933 Act,
      and may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to
      qualified institutional buyers (see Note 2E - Restricted Securities in the
      Notes to Portfolio of Investments).

(h)   This security is in default and interest is not being accrued by the Fund.

(i)   Fixed-to-floating or fixed-to-variable rate security. The interest rate
      shown reflects the fixed rate in effect at September 30, 2017. At a
      predetermined date, the fixed rate will change to a floating rate or a
      variable rate.

(j)   Perpetual maturity.

(k)   Aggregate cost for financial reporting purposes approximates the aggregate
      cost for federal income tax purposes. As of September 30, 2017, the
      aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all investments in which there
      was an excess of value over tax cost was $13,394,764 and the aggregate
      gross unrealized depreciation for all investments in which there was an
      excess of tax cost over value was $9,047,246. The net unrealized
      appreciation was $4,347,518. The amounts presented are inclusive of
      derivative contracts.

NOTES TO PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS

           FIRST TRUST/ABERDEEN GLOBAL OPPORTUNITY INCOME FUND (FAM)
                         SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 (UNAUDITED)

                                1. ORGANIZATION

First Trust/Aberdeen Global Opportunity Income Fund (the "Fund") is a
diversified, closed-end management investment company organized as a
Massachusetts business trust on September 2, 2004, and is registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "1940 Act"). The Fund trades under the ticker symbol FAM on the New
York Stock Exchange ("NYSE").

The Fund is considered an investment company and follows accounting and
reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting
Standards Codification Topic 946, "Financial Services-Investment Companies."

                     2. VALUATION AND INVESTMENT PRACTICES

A. PORTFOLIO VALUATION

The net asset value ("NAV") of the Common Shares of the Fund is determined daily
as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time,
on each day the NYSE is open for trading. If the NYSE closes early on a
valuation day, the NAV is determined as of that time. Domestic debt securities
and foreign securities are priced using data reflecting the earlier closing of
the principal markets for those securities. The Fund's 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. Market
value prices represent last sale or official closing prices from a national or
foreign exchange (i.e., a regulated market) and are primarily obtained from
third-party pricing services. Fair value prices represent any prices not
considered market value prices and are either obtained from a third-party
pricing service or are determined by the Pricing Committee of the Fund's
investment advisor, First Trust Advisors L. P. ("First trust" or the "Advisor"),
in accordance with valuation procedures adopted by the Fund's Board of Trustees,
and in accordance with provisions of the 1940 Act. Investments valued by the
Advisor's Pricing Committee, if any, are footnoted as such in the footnotes to
the Portfolio of Investments. The Fund's investments are valued as follows:

      Bonds, notes and other debt securities are fair valued on the basis of
      valuations provided by dealers who make markets in such securities or by a
      third-party pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees,
      which may use the following valuation inputs when available:

            1)    benchmark yields;

            2)    reported trades;

            3)    broker/dealer quotes;

            4)    issuer spreads;

            5)    benchmark securities;

            6)    bids and offers; and

            7)    reference data including market research publications.

      Fixed income and other debt securities having a remaining maturity of
      sixty days or less when purchased are fair valued at cost adjusted for
      amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts (amortized cost),
      provided the Advisor's Pricing Committee has determined that the use of
      amortized cost is an appropriate reflection of fair value given market and
      issuer-specific conditions existing at the time of the determination.
      Factors that may be considered in determining the appropriateness of the
      use of amortized cost include, but are not limited to, the following:

            1)    the credit conditions in the relevant market and changes
                  thereto;

            2)    the liquidity conditions in the relevant market and changes
                  thereto;

            3)    the interest rate conditions in the relevant market and
                  changes thereto (such as significant changes in interest
                  rates);

            4)    issuer-specific conditions (such as significant credit
                  deterioration); and

            5)    any other market-based data the Advisor's Pricing Committee
                  considers relevant. In this regard, the Advisor's Pricing
                  Committee may use last-obtained market-based data to assist it
                  when valuing portfolio securities using amortized cost.

      Forward foreign currency contracts are fair valued at the current day's
      interpolated foreign exchange rate, as calculated using the current day's
      spot rate, and the thirty, sixty, ninety, and one-hundred eighty day
      forward rates provided by a third-party pricing service.

Certain securities may not be able to be priced by pre-established pricing
methods. Such securities may be valued by the Fund's Board of Trustees or its
delegate, the Advisor's Pricing Committee, at fair value. These securities
generally include, but are not limited to, restricted securities (securities
which may not be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended) for which a third-party pricing service is unable to provide a
market price; securities whose trading has been formally suspended; a security
whose market or fair value price is not available from a pre-established pricing
source; a security with respect to which an event has occurred that is likely to
materially affect the value of the security after the market has closed but
before the calculation of the Fund's NAV or make it difficult or impossible to
obtain a reliable market quotation; and a security whose price, as provided by
the third-party pricing service, does not reflect the security's fair value. As
a general principle, the current fair value of a security would appear to be the

amount which the owner might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon
its current sale. When fair value prices are used, generally they will differ
from market quotations or official closing prices on the applicable exchanges. A
variety of factors may be considered in determining the fair value of such
securities, including, but not limited to, the following:

      1)    the fundamental business data relating to the issuer, or economic
            data relating to the country of issue;

      2)    an evaluation of the forces which influence the market in which
            these securities are purchased and sold;

      3)    the type, size and cost of the security;

      4)    the financial statements of the issuer, or the financial condition
            of the country of issue;

      5)    the credit quality and cash flow of the issuer, or country of issue,
            based on Aberdeen Asset Management Inc.'s ("Aberdeen" or the
            "Sub-Advisor") or external analysis;

      6)    the information as to any transactions in or offers for the
            security;

      7)    the price and extent of public trading in similar securities (or
            equity securities) of the issuer/borrower, or comparable companies;

      8)    the coupon payments;

      9)    the quality, value and salability of collateral, if any, securing
            the security;

      10)   the business prospects of the issuer, including any ability to
            obtain money or resources from a parent or affiliate and an
            assessment of the issuer's management (for corporate debt only);

      11)   the economic, political and social prospects/developments of the
            country of issue and the assessment of the country's governmental
            leaders/officials (for sovereign debt only);

      12)   the prospects for the issuer's industry, and multiples (of earnings
            and/or cash flows) being paid for similar businesses in that
            industry (for corporate debt only); and

      13)   other relevant factors.

The Fund is subject to fair value accounting standards that define fair value,
establish the framework for measuring fair value and provide a three-level
hierarchy for fair valuation based upon the inputs to the valuation as of the
measurement date. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

      o     Level 1 - Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for
            identical investments. An active market is a market in which
            transactions for the investment occur with sufficient frequency and
            volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

      o     Level 2 - Level 2 inputs are observable inputs, either directly or
            indirectly, and include the following:

            o     Quoted prices for similar investments in active markets.

            o     Quoted prices for identical or similar investments in markets
                  that are non-active. A non-active market is a market where
                  there are few transactions for the investment, the prices are
                  not current, or price quotations vary substantially either
                  over time or among market makers, or in which little
                  information is released publicly.

            o     Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the
                  investment (for example, interest rates and yield curves
                  observable at commonly quoted intervals, volatilities,
                  prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, and default
                  rates).

            o     Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by
                  observable market data by correlation or other means.

      o     Level 3 - Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs. Unobservable
            inputs may reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the
            assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the
            investment.

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an
indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments. A summary
of the inputs used to value the Fund's investments as of September 30, 2017, is
included with the Fund's Portfolio of Investments.

B. 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.

Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued, delayed-delivery or forward
purchase commitment basis may have extended settlement periods. The value of the
security so purchased is subject to market fluctuations during this period. The
Fund maintains liquid assets with a current value at least equal to the amount
of its when-issued, delayed-delivery or forward purchase commitments until
payment is made. At September 30, 2017, the Fund had no when-issued,
delayed-delivery or forward purchase commitments.

C. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS

The Fund is subject to foreign currency risk in the normal course of pursuing
its investment objectives. Forward foreign currency contracts are agreements
between two parties ("Counterparties") to exchange one currency for another at a
future date and at a specified price. The Fund uses forward foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign securities and to manage the
Fund's foreign currency exposure. These contracts are valued daily, and the
Fund's net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the contracts
as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the
dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting date,
is included on the Forward Foreign Currency Contracts table in the Portfolio of
Investments. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet
the terms of their contracts and from movement in currency, securities values
and interest rates. Due to the risks, the Fund could incur losses in excess of
the net unrealized value shown on the Forward Foreign Currency Contracts table
in the Portfolio of Investments. In the event of default by the Counterparty,
the Fund will provide notice to the Counterparty of the Fund's intent to convert
the currency held by the Fund into the currency that the Counterparty agreed to
exchange with the Fund. If a Counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to
perform its obligations due to financial difficulties, the Fund may experience
significant delays in obtaining any recovery in a bankruptcy or other
reorganization proceeding. The Fund may obtain only limited recovery or may
obtain no recovery in such circumstances.

D. FOREIGN CURRENCY

The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign
currencies, investments and other assets and liabilities are translated into
U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period.
Purchases and sales of investment securities and items of income and expense are
translated on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized foreign
currency gains and losses include the effect of changes in exchange rates
between trade date and settlement date on investment security transactions,
foreign currency transactions and interest and dividends received.

E. RESTRICTED SECURITIES

The Fund invests in restricted securities, which are securities that may not be
offered for public sale without first being registered under the 1933 Act. Prior
to registration, restricted securities may only be resold in transactions exempt
from registration under Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, normally to qualified
institutional buyers. As of September 30, 2017, the Fund held restricted
securities as shown in the following table that Aberdeen has deemed illiquid
pursuant to procedures adopted by the Fund's Board of Trustees. Although market
instability can result in periods of increased overall market illiquidity,
liquidity for each security is determined based on security-specific factors and
assumptions, which require subjective judgment. The Fund does not have the right
to demand that such securities be registered. These securities are valued
according to the valuation procedures as stated in the Portfolio Valuation note
(Note 2A) and are not expressed as a discount to the carrying value of a
comparable unrestricted security. There are no unrestricted securities with the
same maturity date and yield for these issuers.
