We’re Also Taking Advantage of Energy Transition
Carbon emissions remain on a path to far exceed Paris Agreement climate goals
– Nevertheless, we’ll make a strong effort to transition to cleaner energy – driven by a combination of natural gas and renewables
Electricity demand will double by 2050 as the world’s population approaches 10 billion
– This will attract >$10 trillion in new electricity generation spending
Despite political hyperbole, we’ll continue to use fossil fuels for a very long time
The energy sector is transitioning – curbing global carbon emissionsand meeting energy demand growth requires a “toolkit” of both fossilfuels and renewables
Energy transition means curbing emissions while satisfying massive demand growth

After the initial public offering, shares are sold on the open market through a stock exchange. Aswith any other stock, total return and market value will fluctuate so that an investment, when sold, may be worth more or less than its original cost.

The value of an investment in the funds could be volatile, and you could suffer losses ofsome or a substantial portion of the amount invested.

Leverage creates risks that may adversely affect return, including thelikelihood of greater volatility of net asset value and market price of common shares and fluctuations in distribution rates, which increases a stockholder’s risk of loss.Before making an investment in either fund, you should consider the investment objective, risks, charges and expenses of the Company, which, together with and otherimportant information, are included in each fund’s most recent prospectus and other filings with the SEC, available at www.sec.gov.
