Annually, a fund must distribute all realized capital gains net of realized losses, so the fund will not be subject to an entity level income tax. A fund’s capital gain distribution in a particular year may be a result of the disposition of holdings that appreciated in value during prior years. Thus, while the fund may gain or lose value over the course of a year, a capital gain distribution paid by the fund may not be indicative of current performance of the fund.
The distributable amount of net capital gains are paid on a per-share basis to all investors who hold shares of the fund on the record date of the distribution and are recognized by the shareholder for tax purposes as of the ex-date of the distribution, regardless of when the gains or losses arose in the fund. Net gains on holdings held long term by the fund would be distributed to shareholders as a long-term capital gain distribution no matter how long the shareholder has owned shares in the fund.
Refer to the fund’s annual report for specific information regarding distributions.

Risks
What Are the Risks?
All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Investments in energy-related master limited partnerships (MLPs) and midstream entities are subject to risks of declines in energy and commodity prices, decreases in energy demand, adverse weather conditions, natural or other disasters, changes in government regulation, and changes in tax laws. Leverage increases the volatility of investment returns and subjects investments to magnified losses and a decline in value. Derivative instruments can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on performance. Small- and mid-cap stocks involve greater risks and volatility than large-cap stocks. Liquidity risk exists when securities or other investments become more difficult to sell, or are unable to be sold, at the price at which they have been valued. These and other risks are discussed in the fund’s prospectus.
MLP cash distributions are generally tax deferred. Non-cash expenses, such as depreciation or depletion, usually offset income derived from an MLP’s operations. To the extent that these expenses exceed income, cash distributions are considered return of capital under tax law. As such, they are not taxed when received. Instead, the distribution, in the form of return of capital, reduces a unit holder’s cost basis. This adjusted cost basis, in turn, results in a higher capital gain or lower capital loss when the units are sold. Of course, there can be no assurances that distributions from an MLP will be tax deferred. The fund will be treated as a regular corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, as a result, unlike most investment companies, is subject to corporate income tax to the extent the fund recognizes taxable income. Any taxes paid by the fund will reduce the amount available to pay distributions to investors, and therefore investors in the fund will likely receive lower distributions than if they invested directly in MLPs or midstream entities.
Important Information
The Closed-End Funds are not sold or distributed by Franklin Distributors, LLC. (FD, LLC) or any Franklin Templeton affiliated companies. Unlike open-end funds, shares are not continually offered. Like other public companies, closed-end funds have a one-time initial public offering, and once their shares are first issued, are generally bought and sold through non-affiliated broker/dealers and trade on nationally recognized stock exchanges. Share prices will fluctuate with market conditions and, at the time of sale, may be worth more or less than your original investment. Shares of exchange-traded closed-end funds may trade at a discount or premium to their original offering price, and often trade at a discount to their net asset value. Investment return, market price and net asset value will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. The Funds are subject to investment risks, including the possible loss of principal invested.

Footnotes
Net Asset Value (NAV) represents the value of a closed-end fund's underlying holdings per share. NAV is determined by dividing the total net assets of the fund by the number of shares outstanding. The fund calculates the NAV per share each business day normally coinciding with the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
Market Price, determined by supply and demand, is the price an investor purchases or sells the fund. The Market Price shown reflects the last trade on the listing exchange at the time that the fund's NAV is calculated.
Figures are aggregate total return figures, have not been annualized and represent the change in value of an investment over the period indicated.
Premium / Discount reflects the difference between the NAV and the Market Price of the fund, and represents the amount that the fund is trading above or below its NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV.
Distribution Rate is calculated by annualizing the most recent distribution amount paid, divided by the closing market price or NAV as of the date indicated. The Distribution Rate calculation includes income and return of capital, and excludes special distributions. The Distribution Rate is not guaranteed, subject to change, and is not a quotation of fund performance.
-
Includes operating and other expenses.
Based on the Fund’s net assets of the common shares, as of the most recent Annual Report. See the fund’s Annual Report for information on the fund’s expenses.
The difference between total assets and net assets, if any, is due primarily to the Fund’s use of borrowings and other liabilities; net assets do not include borrowings. The Fund may employ leverage in the form of loans, preferred stock, reverse repurchase agreements and/or other instruments. When the Fund engages in transactions that have a leveraging effect on the Fund’s portfolio, the value of the Fund will be more volatile and all other risks will tend to be compounded.
