Dear First Trust Real Assets Fund Shareholder,

As you may know, First Trust Real Assets Fund (the "Fund") is required to make a repurchase offer to its shareholders each quarter. While the Fund is required to make the repurchase offer, shareholders are not required to take any action. The purpose of the enclosed letter is to communicate the required quarterly repurchase offer. If you do not wish to sell shares at this time, please disregard this notice.

The purpose of these quarterly repurchase offers is to provide shareholders with access to their assets and a degree of liquidity. The repurchase offer period will begin on September 20, 2024 and end on October 21, 2024.

If you invest in the Fund through a financial intermediary, please contact your financial intermediary before submitting your repurchase request to ensure timely processing. All Repurchase Offer Request Forms must be submitted to and received by the Fund by 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on October 21, 2024 to be effective. Please allow an appropriate amount of time for your Repurchase Offer Request Form to reach the Fund.

Sincerely,

First Trust Real Assets Fund

FIRST TRUST REAL ASSETS FUND

REPURCHASE OFFER

1.

The Offer. First Trust Real Assets Fund (the "Fund") is offering to repurchase, for cash, up to five percent (5%) of its issued and outstanding shares at a price equal to the net asset value ("NAV") as of the close of regular business hours on the New York Stock Exchange on the Repurchase Pricing Date (defined below). The purpose of this offer is to provide a level of liquidity to shareholders given that no secondary market exists for these shares. This offer is not conditioned on the tender of any minimum number of shares. This offer is made subject to the terms and conditions made in this Repurchase Offer and the Fund's prospectus and statement of additional information.

2.

Net Asset Value. The NAV of the Fund on September 13, 2024 was $9.29 per share for Class I shares. The NAV at which the Fund will repurchase shares will not be calculated until the Repurchase Pricing Date (defined below). The NAV can fluctuate. Therefore, the NAV on the Repurchase Pricing Date may be higher or lower than the NAV stated above or the date on which you return your Repurchase Offer Request Form. The current NAV may be obtained by calling 877-779-1999 and asking for the most recent price. The shares of the Fund are not traded on any organized market or securities exchange.

3.	Repurchase Request Deadline. All Repurchase Offer Request Forms must be received in proper form by 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on October 21, 2024. Please allow an appropriate amount of time for your Repurchase Request Offer Form to reach the Fund.

4.	Repurchase Pricing Date. The NAV used to calculate the repurchase price will be determined on October 21, 2024 (the "Repurchase Pricing Date"). This may be higher or lower than the NAV on the date on which you return your Repurchase Offer Request Form.

5.

Payment for Shares Repurchased. The Fund will pay repurchase proceeds within seven (7) calendar days from the Repurchase Pricing Date. The Fund will not charge a repurchase fee. However, if your Shares are held for you by your broker-dealer, or for your retirement plan by your retirement plan trustee or otherwise by a nominee, such person may charge a transaction fee for submitting a repurchase request for you.

6.

Increase in Number of Shares Repurchased. Pro Rata Purchase. If shareholders tender for repurchase more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of the Fund, the Fund may, but is not required to, repurchase up to an additional two percent (2%). If the Fund determines not to repurchase an additional two percent (2%) or if more than seven percent (7%) of the shares are tendered, then the Fund will repurchase shares on a pro rata basis. However, the Fund may accept all shares tendered for repurchase by shareholders who own less than $1,000 worth of shares and who tender all of their shares, before prorating other amounts tendered. The Fund will accept the total number of Shares tendered in connection with required minimum distributions from an IRA or other qualified retirement plan. It is the Shareholder's obligation to both notify and provide the Fund supporting documentation of a required minimum distribution from an IRA or other qualified retirement plan. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to repurchase all shares that each shareholder has tendered, even if all the shares in a shareholder's account are tendered. In the event of an oversubscribed offer, the Fund may not be able to repurchase all shares that you tender and you may have to wait until the next quarterly repurchase offer to tender the remaining shares. Subsequent repurchase requests will not be given priority over other shareholder requests. You may be subject to NAV fluctuation during the period between quarterly repurchase offers.

7.	Withdrawal or Modification. Requests for the repurchase of shares may be withdrawn or modified at any time prior to 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on October 21, 2024.

8.	Suspension or Postponement of Repurchase Offer. The Fund may suspend or postpone this Repurchase Offer only by a vote of a majority of the members of the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the independent Trustees, and only in the following limited circumstances:

(a)	if making or effecting the repurchase offer would cause the Fund to lose its status as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended;

(b)	for any period during which the New York Stock Exchange or any market on which the securities owned by the Fund are principally traded is closed, other than customary weekend and holiday closings, or during which trading in such market is restricted;

(c)	for any period during which an emergency exists as a result of which disposal by the Fund of securities owned by it is not reasonably practicable, or during which it is not reasonably practicable for the Fund fairly to determine the value of its net assets; or

(d)	for such other periods as the Securities and Exchange Commission may by order permit for the protection of shareholders of the Fund.

9.

Tax Consequences. You should review the tax information in the Fund's prospectus and statement of additional information and consult your tax adviser regarding any specific consequences, including state and local tax consequences, of participating in the repurchase. Generally, any tender of shares to the Fund would be treated as a taxable event and any gain or loss would be treated as a capital gain or loss, either short or long term, depending on the length of time the shares have been held by the shareholder.

10.

Documents in Proper Form. All questions as to validity, form, eligibility (including time and receipt) and acceptance of repurchase of shares will be determined by the Fund in its sole discretion. The determination by the Fund shall be final and binding. The Fund reserves the absolute right to reject any or all repurchase of shares (even if such tenders are determined to be in good and proper form) and to refuse to accept for payment, purchase, or to pay for any shares if, in the opinion of Fund's counsel, accepting, purchasing or paying for such shares would be unlawful. The Fund also reserves the absolute right to waive any of the conditions of this offer or any defect in any repurchase of shares, whether generally or with respect to any particular shares or shareholders. The Fund's interpretations of the terms and conditions of this offer shall be final and binding. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with repurchases of shares must be corrected within such times as the Fund shall, in its absolute discretion, decide. Repurchases of shares will not be deemed to have been made until any defects or irregularities have been corrected or waived.

None of the Fund, the Fund's investment adviser, First Trust Capital Management L.P. (the "Investment Adviser"), the transfer agent, the Fund's distributor, nor any other person or entity is or will be obligated to give notice of any defects or irregularities in tenders, nor shall any of them incur any liability for failure to give any such notice.

None of the Fund, the Investment Adviser, nor the Fund's distributor is or will be obligated to ensure that your financial consultant, or any broker/dealer or any other third party through which your shares may be held or registered, submits to you this Repurchase Offer or submits your tender of shares to the Fund on your behalf.

Neither the Fund nor its Board of Trustees makes any recommendation to any shareholder as to whether to tender or refrain from tendering shares. Each shareholder must make an independent decision as to whether or not to tender shares and, if so, how many shares to tender.

No person has been authorized to make any recommendation on behalf of the Fund as to whether shareholders should tender shares pursuant to this offer. No person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations in connection with this offer other than those contained herein or contained in the Fund's prospectus or statement of additional information. If given or made, such recommendation and such information and representation may not be relied upon as having been authorized by the Fund.

If you purchased shares of the Fund through an investment adviser, broker or financial consultant, please contact them for additional information about this offer.
