It is anticipated that, due to the tax treatment of cash
distributions made by master limited partnerships ("MLPs") in which
the Fund invests, a portion of the distributions the Fund makes to
Common Shareholders may consist of a tax-deferred return of
capital. The final determination of the source and tax status of
all 2024 distributions will be made after the end of 2024 and will
be provided on Form 1099-DIV.
The Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment
company that seeks a high level of total return with an emphasis on
current distributions paid to common shareholders. The Fund will
seek to provide its common shareholders with a vehicle to invest in
a portfolio of cash-generating securities, with a focus on
investing in publicly traded MLPs and MLP-related entities in the
energy sector and energy utilities industries that are weighted
towards non-cyclical, fee-for-service revenues. Under normal market
conditions, the Fund will invest at least 85% of its Managed Assets
in equity and debt securities of MLPs, MLP-related entities and
other energy sector and energy utilities companies that the Fund's
Sub-Advisor believes offer opportunities for growth and income. To
generate additional income, the Fund currently expects to write (or
sell) covered call options on up to 35% of its managed assets. The
Fund is treated as a regular corporation, or a "C" corporation, for
United States federal income tax purposes and, as a result, is
subject to corporate income tax to the extent the Fund recognizes
taxable income.
First Trust Advisors L.P. ("FTA") is a federally registered
investment advisor and serves as the Fund's investment advisor. FTA

trusts, while FTP is the sponsor. FTP is also a distributor of

Principal Risk Factors: Risks are inherent in all investing.
Certain risks applicable to the Fund are identified below, which
includes the risk that you could lose some or all of your
investment in the Fund. The principal risks of investing in the
Fund are spelled out in the Fund's annual shareholder reports. The
order of the below risk factors does not indicate the significance
of any particular risk factor. The Fund also files reports, proxy
statements and other information that is available for
review.
Past performance is no assurance of future results. Investment
return and market value of an investment in the Fund will
fluctuate. Shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their
original cost. There can be no assurance that the Fund's investment
objectives will be achieved. The Fund may not be appropriate for
all investors.
Market risk is the risk that a particular security, or shares of
a fund in general may fall in value. Securities are subject to
market fluctuations caused by such factors as general economic
conditions, political events, regulatory or market developments,
changes in interest rates and perceived trends in securities
prices. Shares of a fund could decline in value or underperform
other investments as a result. In addition, local, regional or
global events such as war, acts of terrorism, spread of infectious
disease or other public health issues, recessions, natural
disasters or other events could have significant negative impact on
a fund.
Current market conditions risk is the risk that a particular
investment, or shares of the fund in general, may fall in value due
to current market conditions. As a means to fight inflation, the
Federal Reserve and certain foreign central banks have raised
interest rates and expect to continue to do so, and the Federal
Reserve has announced that it intends to reverse previously
implemented quantitative easing. Recent and potential future bank
failures could result in disruption to the broader banking industry
or markets generally and reduce confidence in financial
institutions and the economy as a whole, which may also heighten
market volatility and reduce liquidity. Ongoing armed conflicts
between Russia and Ukraine in Europe and among Israel, Hamas and
other militant groups in the Middle East, have caused and could
continue to cause significant market disruptions and volatility
within the markets in Russia, Europe, the Middle East and the
United States. The hostilities and sanctions resulting from those
hostilities have and could continue to have a significant impact on
certain fund investments as well as fund performance and liquidity.
The COVID-19 global pandemic, or any future public health crisis,
and the ensuing policies enacted by governments and central banks
have caused and may continue to cause significant volatility and
uncertainty in global financial markets, negatively impacting
global growth prospects.
The Fund is subject to risks, including the fact that it is a
non-diversified closed-end management investment company.
Because the Fund is concentrated in securities issued by MLPs,
MLP-related entities, and other energy and utilities companies, it
will be more susceptible to adverse economic or regulatory
occurrences affecting those industries, including high interest
costs, high leverage costs, the effects of economic slowdown,
surplus capacity, increased competition, uncertainties concerning
the availability of fuel at reasonable prices, the effects of
energy conservation policies and other factors.
The Fund's use of derivatives may result in losses greater than
if they had not been used, may require the Fund to sell or purchase
portfolio securities at inopportune times, 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.
The Fund invests in securities of non-U.S. issuers which are
subject to higher volatility than securities of U.S. issuers.
Because the Fund invests in non-U.S. securities, you may lose money
if the local currency of a non-U.S. market depreciates against the
U.S. dollar.
Use of leverage can result in additional risk and cost, and can
magnify the effect of any losses.
The risks of investing in the Fund are spelled out in the
shareholder reports and other regulatory filings.
The information presented is not intended to constitute an
investment recommendation for, or advice to, any specific person.
By providing this information, First Trust is not undertaking to
give advice in any fiduciary capacity within the meaning of ERISA,
the Internal Revenue Code or any other regulatory framework.
Financial professionals are responsible for evaluating investment
risks independently and for exercising independent judgment in
determining whether investments are appropriate for their
clients.
