Past Performance: Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Total return and market value will fluctuate so that shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only. Due to market volatility, current performance may be lower or higher than the figures shown. For current performance information, please visit our Web site at http://www.tortoiseadvisors.com//.

Shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a market price that is below their net asset value. Leverage creates risks which may adversely affect return, including the likelihood of greater volatility of net asset value and market price of common shares; and fluctuations in distribution rates on any preferred shares.

This data is provided for information only and is not intended for trading purposes. Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. After the initial public offering, shares are sold on the open market through a stock exchange. You should consider the investment objective, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. For this and other important information, please refer to the closed-end fund prospectus and read it carefully before investing.
