Fund Summary

Investment Objective/Strategy - First Trust MLP and Energy Income Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund's investment objective is to seek a high level of total return with an emphasis on current distributions paid to shareholders. The Fund seeks to provide its shareholders with a vehicle to invest in a portfolio of cash-generating securities, with a focus on investing in publicly-traded master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) and MLP-related entities in the energy sector and energy utilities industries. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 85% of its managed assets in equity and debt securities of MLPs, MLP-related entities and other energy sector and energy utilities companies that the Fund's sub-advisor believes offer opportunities for growth and income and will invest at least 65% of its managed assets in equity securities issued by energy sector MLPs and energy sector and energy utilities MLP-related entities. To generate additional income, the Fund currently expects to write (or sell) covered call options on up to 35% of its Managed Assets.

There can be no assurance that the Fund's investment objectives will be achieved.

Footnotes

¹	The NAV represents the fund's net assets (assets less liabilities) divided by the fund's common shares outstanding.
²	Fund shares are purchased and sold on an exchange at their share price rather than net asset value (NAV), which may cause the shares to trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount).
³	Most recent distribution paid or declared through today's date. Subject to change in the future.
⁴	Distribution rates are calculated by annualizing the most recent distribution paid or declaration through today's date and then dividing by the most recent market price. Distribution Rates May Vary. Any distribution adjustment will not be reflected until after the declaration date for the next distribution. The distribution rate may include realized short-term capital gains and/or a return of capital. See the fund's 19a-1 Notices, if any, located under the "News & Literature" section of the website for estimates of distribution sources other than income. Final determination of the source and tax status of all distributions paid in the current year will be made after year-end.
⁵	Total return is the combination of reinvested dividend income and reinvested capital gains distributions, at prices obtained by the Dividend Reinvestment Plan, if any, and changes in the NAV and Share Price. The NAV total return takes into account the fund's total annual expenses and does not reflect sales load. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
⁶	Included in the Other Borrowings amount is a committed facility agreement with the Bank of Nova Scotia with a maximum commitment amount of $350,000,000. Leverage is a technique where a closed-end fund's manager borrows assets at one rate and invests the proceeds from the borrowed assets at another rate, seeking to increasing yield and total return. Use of leverage can result in additional risk and cost, and can magnify the effect of any losses.
⁷	Market value information used in calculating the percentages is based upon trade date plus one recording of transactions, which can differ from regulatory financial reports (Forms N-CSR and N-Q) that are based on trade date recording of security transactions. Holdings are subject to change.
