Investment Strategy

The investment objective of MLP & Strategic Equity Fund Inc. (the "Fund") is to provide a high level of after-tax total return by investing substantially all of its net assets in a portfolio of publicly traded master limited partnerships ("MLPs") operating in the energy infrastructure sector of the market. To enhance its returns, when market conditions are favorable, the Fund will enter into variable prepaid forward contracts ("Forward Contracts"), with terms of approximately one year, to sell particular equity securities that the Fund will strategically purchase with the proceeds of the Forward Contracts. At the maturity of the most recent Forward Contracts in 2008, the Fund did not re-enter into Forward Contracts due to market conditions.
