Objective

KYE is a closed-end fund that invests principally in equity and debt securities of companies in the energy industry, such as energy-related master limited partnerships (MLPs), U.S. and Canadian income trusts (collectively, "income trusts"), marine transportation companies, and coal companies. KYE's objective is to obtain a high total return with an emphasis on current income.

Investment Merits
Diversified Portfolio of Energy Investments

KYE targets a diversified investment portfolio across multiple energy sub-sectors - MLPs, royalty trusts, marine transportation and coal companies. This multi-sector strategy allows KYE to reduce the portfolio's volatility.

Positive Long-Term Outlook for Energy Industry

Global demand for energy continues to increase, largely driven by global population increases and continued growth from developing economies. KYE believes that demand growth will increase the need for additional energy infrastructure assets and create growth opportunities for KYE's portfolio investments.

Attractive Fund Structure

- KYE issues a Form 1099 (as opposed to K-1s issued by MLPs).
- Suitable for IRAs, foundations and tax-exempt accounts, because unlike direct holdings in MLPs, KYE does not generate unrelated business taxable income (UBTI).

This table illustrates the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the fund's common shares beginning on the inception date with all distributions reinvested through the Dividend Reinvestment Program (DRIP). Ending values as of the dates shown in the table. Performance does not reflect transaction fees or broker commissions. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

1) Weekly NAVs are calculated as of close of business on Thursdays and posted to our website on Fridays after the market closes at KYE NAV. Month-end NAVs are issued via press release and posted to the website within a few days of the end of the month.
2) Payable on 4/12/13 (ex-date 4/3/13) for the quarter ended 2/28/13.
3) Assumes that distributions have been reinvested through the Dividend Reinvestment Program (DRIP).
4) NAV and share price shown monthly until 10/31/06 and weekly and at month-end thereafter.

This material shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer or sale is not permitted. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. An investment in the fund could suffer loss. Current performance may be lower or higher than that shown based on market fluctuations from the end of the reported period. Before making an investment in the fund, you should consider the investment objective, risks, charges and expenses of the fund, which, together with and other important information are included in the fund's most recent prospectus and other filings with the SEC. There can be no assurance that the fund's investment objectives will be attained. 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 dividend rates on any preferred shares.
