You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Fund’s managed distribution policy. The amounts and sources of distributions reported in this Notice are only estimates, are likely to change over time, and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for accounting and tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund’s investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The amounts and sources of distributions year-to-date may be subject to additional adjustments.
*THE FUND WILL SEND YOU A FORM 1099-DIV FOR THE CALENDAR YEAR THAT WILL TELL YOU HOW TO REPORT THESE DISTRIBUTIONS FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES.
The Fund’s Year-to-date Cumulative Total Return for fiscal year 2015 (January 1, 2015 through February 28, 2015) is set forth below. Shareholders should take note of the relationship between the Year-to-date Cumulative Total Return with the Fund’s Cumulative Distribution Rate for 2015. Moreover, the Fund’s Average Annual Total Return for the five year period ending February 28, 2015 is set forth below. Shareholders should also note the relationship between the Average Annual Total Return with the Fund’s Current Annualized Distribution Rate for 2015. In addition, the performance and distribution rate information disclosed in the table below is based on the Fund’s net asset value per share (NAV). The Fund’s NAV is calculated as the total market value of all the securities and other assets held by the Fund minus the total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares outstanding. While NAV performance may be indicative of the Fund’s investment performance, it does not measure the value of a shareholder’s individual investment in the Fund. The value of a shareholder’s investment in the Fund is determined by the Fund’s market price, which is based on the supply and demand for the Fund’s shares in the open market.
Fund Performance and Distribution Rate Information:
Year-to-date January 1, 2015 to February 28, 2015 | | | |
Year-to-date Cumulative Total Return(1) | | 2.56 | % |
Cumulative Distribution Rate(2) | | 1.51 | % |

Five year period ending February 28, 2015 | | | |
Average Annual Total Return(3) | | 18.06 | % |
Current Annualized Distribution Rate(4) | | 6.05 | % |
(1) | Year-to-date Cumulative Total Return is the percentage change in the Fund’s NAV over the year-to-date time period including distributions paid and assuming reinvestment of those distributions. |
(2) | Cumulative Distribution Rate for the Fund’s current fiscal period (January 1, 2015 through February 28, 2015) measured on the dollar value of distributions in the year-to-date period as a percentage of the Fund’s NAV as of February 28, 2015. |
(3) | Average Annual Total Return represents the compound average of the Annual NAV Total Returns of the Fund for the five year period ending February 28, 2015. Annual NAV Total Return is the percentage change in the Fund’s NAV over a year including distributions paid and assuming reinvestment of those distributions. |
(4) | The Current Annualized Distribution Rate is the current fiscal period’s distribution rate annualized as a percentage of the Fund’s NAV as of February 28, 2015. |
The source of all distributions paid by the Fund, including net investment income is subject to change. This is because the Fund invests in Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) and similar companies. Distributions from Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) are estimated as income and return of capital based on information reported by the MLPs and management’s estimates of such amounts based on historical information. These estimates are adjusted when the actual source of distributions is disclosed by the MLPs and actual amounts may differ from the estimated amounts.
This Fund has a managed distribution policy that seeks to deliver the Fund’s long term total return potential through regular quarterly distributions declared at a fixed rate per share. Distributions may be paid in part or in full from net investment income, realized capital gains and by returning capital, or a combination thereof. Shareholders should note, however, that if the Fund’s aggregate net investment income and net realized capital gains are less than the amount of the distribution level, the difference will be distributed from the Fund’s assets and will constitute a return of the shareholder’s capital. A return of capital is not taxable; rather it reduces a shareholder’s tax basis in his or her shares of the Fund. The Board of Directors of the Fund may amend, terminate or suspend the managed distribution policy at any time, which could have an adverse effect on the market price of the Fund’s shares.
Shareholders should not use the information provided in preparing their tax returns. Shareholders will receive a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year indicating how to report fund distributions for federal income tax purposes.
