Gross expenses are the fund's total annual operating expenses as of the fund's annual report available at the time of publication. Actual fees may be higher and may impact portfolio returns. Net expenses reflect voluntary fee waivers, expense caps and/or reimbursements.

NAV is totalassets less total liabilitiesdivided bythenumberof shares outstanding. Market Price, determinedby supply anddemand,is the priceaninvestorpurchases orsells thefund. TheMarketPricemay differfromafund's NAV. Premium / Discount reflectsthedifference 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.

The Distribution Rate is not guaranteed, subject to change, and is not a quotation of fund performance. Distribution Rate is calculated by annualizing the most recent distribution amount paid, excluding special distributions, divided by the closing market price or NAV as of the date indicated. Fund distributions are paid from income and return of capital (excluding special distributions). A return of capital is not taxable and results in a reduction in the tax basis of a shareholder's investment. At year-end the Fund will issue a Form 1099 with the final composition of the distribution for tax purposes. A current estimate of the distribution's composition can be found on each fund's individual page or in the most recent distribution press release and/or Section 19 notice located in the press release section of each fund's individual page.

The difference between total assets and net assets, if any, is due primarily to the fund's use of borrowings and other liabilities; netassets do not include borrowings. The fund may employ leverage in the form of loans, preferred stock, reverse repurchase agreementsand/or other instruments. When the fund engages in transactions that have a leveraging effect on the fund's portfolio, the value of thefund will be more volatile and all other risks will tend to be compounded.

What should I know before investing?

All investments are subject to risks, including the possible loss of principal. The Fund's concentration of investments in energy related MLPs and midstream entities subject it to the risks of MLPs, midstream entities and the energy sector, including the 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 may result in greater volatility of NAV and the market price of common shares and increases a shareholder's risk of loss. The Fund may make significant investments in derivative instruments. Derivative instruments can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on Fund performance.

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

Distributions are not guaranteed and are subject to change.

The Closed-End Funds are not sold or distributed byFranklin Distributors, LLC, or any affiliate of Franklin Resources, Inc. Unlike open-endfunds, shares are not continually offered. Like other public companies, closed-endfunds have a one-timeinitial public offering, and once their shares are first issued, are generally bought and sold through non-affiliatedbroker/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-endfunds 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.
