Business Wire
First Trust New Opportunities MLP & Energy Fund (the "Fund")
(NYSE: FPL) has declared the Fund’s regularly scheduled monthly
common share distribution in the amount of $0.10 per share payable
on November 17, 2014, to shareholders of record as of November 5,
2014. The ex-dividend date is expected to be November 3, 2014. The
monthly distribution information for the Fund appears below.
First Trust New
Opportunities MLP & Energy Fund (FPL):
Distribution per share: $0.10 Distribution Rate based on the
October 17, 2014 NAV of $19.70: 6.09% Distribution Rate based on
the October 17, 2014 closing market price of $17.43: 6.88%
It is anticipated that, due to the tax treatment of cash
distributions made by master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) in which
the Fund invests, a portion of the distributions the Fund makes to
Common Shareholders may consist of a tax-deferred return of
capital. The final determination of the source and tax status of
all 2014 distributions will be made after the end of 2014.
The Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment
company that seeks a high level of total return with an emphasis on

investing in publicly traded MLPs and MLP-related entities in the

towards non-cyclical, fee-for-service revenues. 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.
