Slide 1: FEN Background

•Launched in June, 2004 during weak market for income securities.

•Energy Income Partners (EIP) takes over as sub-advisor on Sept 14, 2007.

•EIP immediately restructures portfolio by reducing cyclical exposure, selling
private equity positions, improving credit quality of portfolio companies and
increasing income generation.

•Deleveraging in Fall of 2008 causes all MLP closed end funds except FEN to
cut their distributions as FEN has a more conservative payout ratio.

•In 2008 and 2009 FEN retires its Auction Rate Notes and replaces them with a
lending facility from BNP.

•In 2010, FEN increased its dividend three times making it the first MLP fund to
do so since the credit crisis.

1Yield is as of 12/31/10.

210-year growth is per share annual growth in cash distributions or dividends from 12/31/00 to 12/31/10. MLPs are represented by the Alerian
MLP Index. Utilities are the components of the UTY Index. REITs are the Equity REIT component of the National Assn of REITs. It is not
possible to invest directly in an index. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

looking statements” under the U.S. federal securities laws.Forward-looking statements are not historical
facts but instead represent only the sub-advisor’s beliefs regarding future events, many of which, by their
nature, are inherently uncertain and outside the sub-advisor’s control.Actual future results or occurrences
may differ significantly from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements due to numerous
factors.Generally, the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “project,” “will”
