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 2022 distributions will be made after the end of 2022 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
and its affiliate First Trust Portfolios L.P. ("FTP"), a FINRA
registered broker-dealer, are privately-held companies that provide
a variety of investment services. FTA has collective assets under
management or supervision of approximately $216 billion as of March
31, 2022 through unit investment trusts, exchange-traded funds,
closed-end funds, mutual funds and separate managed accounts. FTA
is the supervisor of the First Trust unit investment trusts, while
FTP is the sponsor. FTP is also a distributor of mutual fund shares
and exchange-traded fund creation units. FTA and FTP are based in
Wheaton, Illinois.
Energy Income Partners, LLC ("EIP") serves as the Fund's
investment sub-advisor and provides advisory services to a number
of investment companies and partnerships for the purpose of
investing in MLPs and other energy infrastructure securities. EIP
is one of the early investment advisors specializing in this area.
As of March 31, 2022, EIP managed or supervised approximately $5.2
billion in client assets.
Principal Risk Factors: 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.
Securities held by a fund, as well as shares of a fund itself,
are subject to market fluctuations caused by factors such 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 of the risk of loss
associated with these market fluctuations. In addition, local,
regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, spread of
infectious diseases or other public health issues, recessions, or
other events could have a significant negative impact on a fund and
its investments. Such events may affect certain geographic regions,
countries, sectors and industries more significantly than others.
In February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine which has caused and could
continue to cause significant market disruptions and volatility
within the markets in Russia, Europe, and the United States. The
hostilities and sanctions resulting from those hostilities could
have a significant impact on certain fund investments as well as
fund performance. The outbreak of the respiratory disease
designated as COVID-19 in December 2019 has caused significant
volatility and declines in global financial markets, which have
caused losses for investors. While the development of vaccines has
slowed the spread of the virus and allowed for the resumption of
"reasonably" normal business activity in the United States, many
countries continue to impose lockdown measures in an attempt to
slow the spread. Additionally, there is no guarantee that vaccines
will be effective against emerging variants of the disease.
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
