The Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that
seeks to provide a high level of current income. As a secondary objective, the
Fund seeks to focus on capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve its
investment objective by investing at least 80% of its Managed Assets in a
portfolio of equity securities of European companies of any market
capitalization, including, but not limited to, common and preferred stocks that
pay dividends, depositary receipts and real estate investment trusts. The Fund
also seeks to focus its equity investments on income-producing securities. The
Fund seeks to utilize a dynamic currency hedging process, which will include, at
the discretion of the portfolio managers, the use of forward foreign currency
exchange contracts to hedge a portion of the Fund's currency exposure. To
generate additional income, the Fund may write (or sell) call options on
portfolio equity securities and certain broad-based securities indices in an
amount up to 40% of the value of its Managed Assets.
FTA is a federally registered investment advisor and serves as the Fund's
investment advisor. FTA and its affiliate First Trust Portfolios L.P. ("FTP"), a
FINRA registered broker-dealer, are privately-held companies that provide a
variety of investment services. FTA has collective assets under management or
supervision of approximately $134 billion as of August 31, 2018 through unit
investment trusts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, mutual funds and
separate managed accounts. FTA is the supervisor of the First Trust unit
investment trusts, while FTP is the sponsor. FTP is also a distributor of mutual
fund shares and exchange-traded fund creation units. FTA and FTP are based in
Wheaton, Illinois.
Janus, a legal entity of Janus Henderson Investors, serves as the Fund's
investment sub-advisor. Janus Henderson Investors is headquartered in London and
is a global investment management firm that provides a full spectrum of
investment products and services to clients around the world. With offices in 28
cities with more than 2,000 employees, Janus Henderson Investors managed

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 risks, including the fact that it
is a non-diversified closed-end management investment company.
Because the Fund will invest primarily in securities of non-U.S. issuers, which
are generally denominated in non-U.S. currencies, there are risks not typically
associated with investing in securities of U.S. issuers. Non-U.S. issuers are
subject to higher volatility than securities of U.S. issuers. An investor may
lose money if the local currency of a non-U.S. market depreciates against the
U.S. dollar.
Investments in securities of issuers located in emerging market countries are
considered speculative and there is a heightened risk of investing in emerging
markets securities.
The Fund will engage in practices and strategies that will result in exposure to
fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, thus subjecting it to foreign currency
risk.
The Fund's use of derivatives may result in losses greater than if they had not
been used, may require the Fund to sell or purchase portfolio securities at
inopportune times, may limit the amount of appreciation the Fund can realize on
an investment, or may cause the Fund to hold a security that it might otherwise
sell.
Use of leverage can result in additional risk and cost and can magnify the
effect of any losses.
The risks of investing in the Fund are spelled out in the prospectus,
shareholder reports and other regulatory filings.

recommendation for, or advice to, any specific person. By providing this
