Business Wire
First Trust Dynamic Europe Equity Income Fund (the "Fund")
(NYSE: FDEU) has declared the Fund’s regularly scheduled monthly
common share distribution in the amount of $0.121 per share payable
on August 15, 2018, to shareholders of record as of August 2, 2018.
The ex-dividend date is expected to be August 1, 2018. The monthly
distribution information for the Fund appears below.
First Trust Dynamic
Europe Equity Income Fund (FDEU):
Distribution per share: $0.121 Distribution Rate
based on the July 18, 2018 NAV of $17.64: 8.23% Distribution Rate
based on the July 18, 2018 closing market price of $16.22: 8.95%
The Fund's Board of Trustees has approved a managed distribution
policy for the Fund (the "Plan") in reliance on exemptive relief
received from the Securities and Exchange Commission which permits
the Fund to make periodic distributions of long-term capital gains
more frequently than otherwise permitted with respect to its common
shares subject to certain conditions. Under the Plan, the Fund
intends to continue to pay a monthly distribution in the amount of
$0.121 per share. A portion of this monthly distribution may
include long-term capital gains. This may result in a reduction of
the long-term capital gain distribution necessary at year end by
distributing long-term capital gains throughout the year. The
annual distribution rate is independent of the Fund's performance
during any particular period. Accordingly, you should not draw any
conclusions about the Fund's investment performance from the amount
of any distribution or from the terms of the Plan.
This distribution may consist of net investment income earned by
the Fund, net short-term and long-term capital gains and/or tax
deferred return of capital. The final determination of the source
and tax status of all distributions paid in 2018 will be made after
the end of 2018 and will be provided on Form 1099-DIV.
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 will seek 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 will seek to focus its equity
investments on income-producing securities. The Fund will also seek
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
will 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.

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 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
shareholder reports and other regulatory filings.
