Past performance is no assurance of future results. Investment return and market
value  of  an  investment  in the Fund will fluctuate. Shares, when sold, may be
worth more or less than their original cost.

Principal  Risk  Factors:  The  Fund  is  subject  to  various risks, including:
Investment  and  Market  Risk,  Management Risk, Common Stock Risk, Option Risk,
Investment  Companies  Risk,  Industry  and  Sector Risk, Income Risk, Portfolio
Turnover  Risk,  Non-U.S.  Equity Securities Risk, Illiquid Securities Risk, Tax
Risk,  Derivatives  Risk,  Interest Rate Risk, Market Disruption Risk, Inflation
Risk,  Certain  Affiliations, Anti-Takeover Provisions, and Market Discount from
Net Asset Value.

The Fund may write (sell) covered call options on all or a portion of the equity
securities  held  in the Fund's portfolio as determined to be appropriate by the
Fund's  investment sub-advisor, consistent with the Fund's investment objective.
The  ability to successfully implement the Fund's investment strategy depends on
the  investment  sub-advisor's  ability  to  predict pertinent market movements,
which  cannot  be assured. Thus, the use of options may require the Fund to sell
portfolio  securities  at  inopportune  times  or  for prices other than current
market  values,  may limit the amount of appreciation the Fund can realize on an
investment,  or  may  cause  the  Fund  to hold an equity security that it might
otherwise  sell.  There can be no assurance that a liquid market for the options
will exist when the Fund seeks to close out an option position. Additionally, to
the  extent  that the Fund purchases options pursuant to a hedging strategy, the
Fund  will  be subject to additional risks. Covered call option premiums will be
treated  by  the  Fund  as  either short-term or long-term capital gain or loss,
depending whether the call option expires, is exercised or cancelled pursuant to
a  covering  transaction,  and  the  timing  of such transaction. Thus, the fund
cannot  assure you as to any level of any regular quarterly distributions of net
investment  income  (income  other than net long-term capital gain) that will be
treated  as  ordinary  income, cannot assure you as to any level of capital gain
distributions  and  cannot  assure  you  as  to  any  ratio of regular quarterly
distributions to capital gain distributions.

The  risks  of  investing  in  the  Fund  are  spelled  out  in  the prospectus,
shareholder report and other regulatory filings.

The  Fund's  daily closing New York Stock Exchange price and net asset value per
share  as  well  as other information can be found at www.ftportfolios.com or by
calling (800) 988-5891.
