NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
ClearBridge American Energy MLP Fund Inc. (NYSE:CBA) announces its portfolio composition as of March 31, 2018.
Investment Objective: The Fund seeks to provide a high level of total return, with an equal emphasis on current distributions and capital appreciation.
Investment Strategy: The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing primarily in US-based master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) in the energy sector. Initially, the Fund intends to focus its investments on MLPs that, in the Fund’s opinion, are poised to benefit from the growing production and usage of natural gas, while minimizing exposure to commodity price fluctuations. Energy entities are engaged in the business of exploring, developing, producing, gathering, transporting, processing, storing, refining, distributing, mining or marketing natural gas, natural gas liquids (including propane), crude oil, refined petroleum products or coal.

| ** | The difference between total assets and net assets, if any, is due primarily to the Fund’s use of borrowings and other liabilities; net assets do not include borrowings. The Fund may employ leverage in the form of loans, preferred stock, reverse repurchase agreements and/or other instruments. When the Fund engages in transactions that have a leveraging effect on the Fund’s portfolio, the value of the Fund will be more volatile and all other risks will tend to be compounded | . | ||
