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.
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.
