Gross expenses are the fund's total annual operating expenses as of the fund's annual report available at the time of publication. Actual expenses may be higher and may impact portfolio returns. Net expenses reflect voluntary fee waivers, expense caps and/or reimbursements. Voluntarywaiversmaybe modifiedor discontinuedatany timewithoutnotice. NAV istotal assets less totalliabilitiesdividedby thenumberof sharesoutstanding. Distribution Rate is calculated byannualizingthemostrecent distributionamountpaid,dividedby theclosingmarket price or NAV as of the date indicated. The Distribution Rate calculation includes income, capital gains and return of capital, and includes a prorated special distribution in the month it is paid. The Distribution Rate is not guaranteed, subject to change, and is not a quotation of fund performance. 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 investmentsinvolve risks, including possible loss of principal. Investmentsin energy-related master limited partnerships (MLPs) and midstream entities aresubject to risks of declines in energy andcommodity 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 investmentreturnsandsubjects investments to magnifiedlosses and a decline in value. Derivative instruments can be illiquid, may disproportionately increaselosses, andhave a potentially large impacton performance. Small- and mid-cap stocks involve greater risks andvolatility than large-capstocks. 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 andother risks are discussed in the fund's prospectus.MLP cash distributions are generally tax deferred. Non-cashexpenses, 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 arenot sold or distributed by Franklin 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.
