PROXY STATEMENT
FOR
JOINT ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON SEPTEMBER 28, 2010

This document will give you the information you need to vote on the matters listed on the accompanying Notice of Joint Annual Meeting of Shareholders ("Notice of Joint Annual Meeting"). Much of the information in this joint proxy statement ("Proxy Statement") is required under rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"); some of it is technical. If there is anything you don't understand, please contact us at our toll-free number, (866) 274-2227.

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of each Trust of proxies to be voted at the Joint Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Trusts to be held on Tuesday, September 28, 2010, and any adjournment or postponement thereof (the "Annual Meeting"). The Annual Meeting will be held at the offices of the Trusts' counsel, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, 4 Times Square, New York, New York 10036, on September 28, 2010, at 12:30 p.m. (Eastern time). This Proxy Statement and the enclosed proxy card(s) ("proxy") are first being sent to the Trusts' shareholders on or about August 23, 2010.

Because the common shares of each Trust are listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), which requires each Trust to hold an annual meeting of shareholders.

• What proposals (each a "Proposal," and collectively the "Proposals") will be voted on?

A. All Shareholders of AVK are being asked to elect three nominees to the Board of AVK ("Proposal A").

B. All Shareholders of LCM are being asked to elect three nominees to the Board of LCM ("Proposal B").

C. All Shareholders of AGC are being asked to elect three nominees to the Board of AGC ("Proposal C").

Yes! Your vote is important and could make a difference in the governance of the Trust(s), no matter how many shares you own.

The enclosed proxy is solicited by the Board of each Trust for use at the Annual Meeting to be held on Tuesday, September 28, 2010, and, if the Annual Meeting is adjourned or postponed, at any later meetings, for the purposes stated in the Notice of Joint Annual Meeting. The Notice of Joint Annual Meeting, the proxy and this Proxy Statement are being mailed on or about August 23, 2010.

The Board unanimously recommends that you vote "for" each Proposal on which you are entitled to vote.

All Shareholders of record of AVK at the close of business on August 16, 2010, are entitled to be present and to vote on Proposal A at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. All Shareholders of record of LCM at the close of business on August 16, 2010, are entitled to be present and to vote on Proposal B at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. All Shareholders of record of AGC at the close of business on August 16, 2010, are entitled to be present and to vote on Proposal C at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Each share is entitled to one vote on those Proposals on which holders of those shares are entitled to vote. Shares represented by duly executed proxies will be voted in accordance with your instructions. If you sign the

proxy, but don't fill in a vote, your shares will be voted in accordance with your Board's recommendation. If any other business is brought before your Trust's Annual Meeting, your shares will be voted at your proxy's discretion unless you specify otherwise in your proxy.

The Trusts have at least one similar proposal and it is cost-efficient to have a joint proxy statement and one annual meeting. In the event that any shareholder present at the Annual Meeting objects to the holding of a joint meeting and moves for the adjournment of his or her Trust's meeting to a time immediately after the Annual Meeting so that each Trust's meeting may be held separately, the persons named as proxies will vote in favor of such adjournment. Shareholders of each Trust will vote separately on the respective Proposals relating to their Trust. In any event, an unfavorable vote on any Proposal by the shareholders of one Trust will not affect the implementation of such Proposal by another Trust if the Proposal is approved by the shareholders of that Trust.

At the close of business on August 16, 2010, AVK had 23,580,876 common shares outstanding and 10,480 Auction Market Preferred Shares outstanding, LCM had 13,603,025 common shares outstanding and AGC had 31,993,469 common shares outstanding and 6,800 Auction Market Preferred Shares outstanding.

Certain information concerning the current Trustees, the Trustee nominees and the officers of each of the Trusts is set forth in the table below. Except as indicated in the chart below, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company since each of the Trusts commenced their respective operations. The "interested" Trustees (as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act")) are indicated by an asterisk (*). Independent Trustees are those who are not interested persons of (i) the Trust, (ii) Advent Capital Management, LLC ("Advent"), AVK's investment advisor and LCM's and AGC's investment manager, (iii) Claymore Securities, Inc., AVK's shareholder servicing agent or (iv) Claymore Advisors, LLC ("Claymore"), LCM's and AGC's investment advisor and each Trust's administrator, and who satisfy the requirements contained in the definition of "independent" as defined in Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Independent Trustees").

Mr. Randall C. Barnes and Mr. Daniel L. Black have served as Trustees of AVK and LCM since September 20, 2005. All other Trustees of AVK have served in such capacity since March 27, 2003 (the inception of AVK) and all other Trustees of LCM have served in such capacity since March 30, 2004 (the inception of LCM). All Trustees of AGC have served in such capacity since March 13, 2007 (the inception of AGC). AGC, LCM and AVK are each part of a fund complex advised or managed by Advent (referred to herein as the "Advent Fund Complex"). AGC, LCM and AVK are also part of a fund complex (referred to herein as the "Advent/Claymore Fund Complex") that consists of U.S. registered investment companies advised or serviced by Claymore or its affiliates. The Advent/Claymore Fund Complex is composed of fourteen closed-end funds (including AGC, LCM, AVK) and forty-two exchange-traded funds. The Advent/Claymore Fund Complex is overseen by multiple boards of trustees. Mr. Nyberg and Mr. Barnes also serve as trustees of other funds advised by Claymore in the Advent/Claymore Fund Complex. Mr. Maitland, Mr. Medina, Mr. Seizert, Mr. Smart and Mr. Black only serve as trustees of the Trusts. The Trusts' officers receive no compensation from the Trusts, but may also be officers or employees of the investment manager, the investment advisor or affiliates of the investment manager or investment advisor of the Trusts and may receive compensation in such capacities. The business address of each current Trustee and officer is c/o Advent Capital Management, LLC, 1271 Avenue of the Americas, 45th Floor, New York, New York 10020.

The primary responsibility of the Board of each Trust (collectively, the "Boards") is to represent the interests of the shareholders of the Trust and to provide oversight of the management of the Trust. Each Trust's day-to-day operations are managed by such Trust's investment advisor, investment manager (as applicable) and other service providers who have been approved by the Board. Each Board is currently comprised of seven Trustees, six of whom are Independent Trustees and one of whom is classified as an Interested Trustee. The Independent Trustees are represented by independent legal counsel at Board and committee meetings. Generally, each Board acts by majority vote of all the Trustees, including a majority vote of the Independent Trustees if required by applicable law.

Each Board has appointed an Interested Trustee as chairperson and the Independent Trustees of each Board have designated Mr. Daniel L. Black as lead Independent Trustee who chairs meetings or executive sessions of the Independent Trustees, reviews and comments on Board meeting agendas, represents the views of the Independent Trustees to management and facilitates communication among the Independent Trustees and their counsel.

Each Board has established two standing committees (as described below) and has delegated certain responsibilities to those committees, each of which is comprised solely of Independent Trustees. Each Board and its committees meet periodically throughout the year to oversee its Trust's activities, review contractual arrangements with service providers, review its Trust's financial statements, oversee compliance with regulatory requirements, and review performance. Each Board has determined that this leadership structure, including an Interested Trustee as chairperson, a lead Independent Trustee, a supermajority of Independent Trustees on the Board and committee membership limited to Independent Trustees, is appropriate because it allows the Board to exercise informed and independent judgment over the matters under its purview and it allocates areas of responsibility among committees of Trustees and the full Board in a manner that enhances effective oversight.

The day-to-day management of various risks relating to the administration and operation of each Trust is the responsibility of each Trust's investment advisor, investment manager (as applicable) and other service providers retained by the Board of each Trust or by management, most of whom employ professional personnel who have risk management responsibilities. The Board of each Trust oversees this risk management function consistent with and as part of its oversight duties. The Board of each Trust performs this risk management oversight function directly and, with respect to various matters, through an Audit Committee and a Nominating and Governance Committee established by each Board. Each committee reports its activities to each Board on a regular basis. The following description provides an overview of many, but not all, aspects of each Board's oversight of risk management for its Trust. In this connection, the Board of each Trust has been advised that it is not practicable to identify all of the risks that may impact its Trust or to develop procedures or controls that are designed to eliminate all such risk exposures, and that applicable securities law regulations do not contemplate that all such risks be identified and addressed.

The Board of each Trust, working with personnel of each Trust's investment advisor, investment manager (as applicable) and other service providers, has endeavored to identify the primary risks that confront its Trust. In general, these risks include, among others, investment risks, credit risks, liquidity risks, valuation risks, operational risks, reputational risks, regulatory risks, risks related to potential legislative changes and the risk of conflicts of interest affecting affiliates of Advent and Claymore in managing the Trusts. The Board of each Trust has adopted and periodically reviews various policies and procedures that are designed to address these and other risks confronting its Trust. In addition, the officers of the Trusts, the Trusts' investment advisor, investment manager (as applicable) and other service providers to the Trusts also have implemented a variety of processes, procedures and controls designed to address particular risks to the Trusts. The Board of each Trust and persons retained to render advice and service to each Board periodically review and/or monitor changes to and developments relating to the effectiveness of these policies and procedures.

Each Board requires officers of its Trust to report to the full Board on a variety of matters at regular and special meetings of the Board and its committees, as applicable, including matters relating to risk management. The Audit Committee of each Trust also receives reports from its Trust's independent registered public accounting firm on internal control and financial reporting matters. On at least a quarterly basis, each Board meets with its Trust's Chief Compliance Officer, including separate meetings with the Independent Trustees in executive session periodically, to discuss compliance matters and, on a quarterly basis, receives a report from the Chief Compliance Officer regarding compliance matters. Each Board, with the assistance of its Trust's management, reviews investment policies and risks in connection with its review of its Trust's performance. In addition, each Board receives reports from its Trust's investment advisor or investment manager on the investments and securities trading of the Trust. With respect to valuation, each Board has approved fair valuation procedures applicable to valuing its Trust's securities, which the Board and the Audit Committee periodically review. Each Board also requires its Trust's investment advisor and investment manager (as applicable) to report to the Board on other matters relating to risk management on a regular and as-needed basis.

^* "Interested Person" of each Trust as defined in the 1940 Act. Mr. Maitland is an interested person due to his relationship with Advent.

⁽²⁾ Trustee of AVK and LCM since September 20, 2005. Trustee of AGC since commencement of AGC's operations.

⁽⁴⁾ Mr. Barnes oversees 52 portfolios in the Advent/Claymore Fund Complex.

Each Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experiences, skills, attributes and qualifications, which allow each Board to operate effectively in governing its Trust and protecting the interests of shareholders.

The Trustees were selected to serve and continue on each Board based upon their skills, experience, judgment, analytical ability, diligence, ability to work effectively with other Trustees, each Trust's investment advisor, investment manager (as applicable), other service providers, counsel and independent auditors, availability and commitment to attend meetings and perform the responsibilities of a Trustee and to exercise effective business judgment in the performance of their responsibilities as a Trustee and, for each Independent

Trustee, a demonstrated willingness to take an independent and questioning view of management. Each Trustee also now has considerable familiarity with the Trusts, each Trust's investment advisor, investment manager and other service providers, and their operations, as well as the special regulatory requirements governing regulated investment companies and the special responsibilities of investment company trustees as a result of his substantial prior service as a Trustee of each Trust.

Each Trustee's ability to perform his duties effectively is evidenced by his educational background or professional training; business positions; experience from service as a Trustee of the Trusts, other investment funds, public companies, or non-profit entities or other organizations; ongoing commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings throughout the years; or other relevant life experiences.

The following is a summary of the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills of each Trustee that support the conclusion, as of the date of this proxy statement, that each Trustee should serve as a Trustee in light of each Trust's business and structure. References to the qualifications, attributes and skills of Trustees are pursuant to requirements of the SEC, do not constitute holding out of the Boards or any Trustee as having any special expertise and shall not impose any greater responsibility or liability on any such person or on the Boards by reason thereof.

Yes. The Trustees have determined that the efficient conduct of the Trusts' affairs makes it desirable to delegate responsibility for certain specific matters to committees of the Boards. The committees meet as often as necessary, either in conjunction with regular meetings of the Trustees or otherwise. Two of the committees of the Boards are the Audit Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee.

Each Trust has an Audit Committee, composed of certain of the Independent Trustees, which is charged with selecting a firm of independent registered public accountants for the applicable Trust and reviewing accounting matters with the accountants.

The Audit Committee of each Trust performed the following functions: (i) each Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements of its Trust with management of each Trust; (ii) each Audit Committee discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, (iii) each Audit Committee received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by ISB Standard No. 1 and has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the auditors' independence and (iv) each Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Trustees of its Trust that the financial statements be included in the Trust's Annual Report for the past fiscal year.

The Audit Committee of each Trust is governed by a written charter. AVK's Board approved its charter on March 27, 2003, LCM's Board approved its charter on March 30, 2004 and AGC's Board approved its charter on March 13, 2007.

The members of the Audit Committee of each Trust are Messrs. Seizert, Smart, Barnes, Black, Medina and Nyberg, all of whom are Independent Trustees. A majority of the members of the Audit Committee are audit committee financial experts and are independent for the purpose of the definition of audit committee financial expert as applicable to each Trust.

The Audit Committee charters of the Trusts are not available on the Trusts' website. In accordance with proxy rules promulgated by the SEC, a fund's audit committee charter is required to be filed at least once every three years as an exhibit to a fund's proxy statement. The form of the Audit Committee charters of the Trusts was attached as an appendix to the Trusts' 2008 proxy statement.

The Board of each Trust has a Nominating and Governance Committee, which performs the functions set forth in the Joint Nominating and Governance Committee Charter of the Trusts. The Nominating and Governance Committee is composed of all of the Independent Trustees. Each Trust's Independent Trustees meet regularly as a group in executive session as the Nominating and Governance Committee.

As part of its duties, the Nominating and Governance Committee makes recommendations to the full Board of each Trust with respect to candidates for the Board. The Nominating and Governance Committee will consider trustee candidates recommended by shareholders. In considering candidates submitted by shareholders, the Nominating and Governance Committee will take into consideration the needs of each Board and the qualifications of the candidate. The Nominating and Governance Committee may also take into consideration the number of shares held by the recommending shareholder and the length of time that such shares have been held. To have a candidate considered by the Nominating and Governance Committee, a shareholder must submit the recommendation in writing and must include:

- The name of the shareholder and evidence of the person's ownership of shares of the applicable Trust(s), including the number of shares owned and the length of time of ownership; and

- The name of the candidate, the candidate's resume or a listing of his or her qualifications to be a Trustee of the Trust(s) and the person's consent to be named as a Trustee if selected by the Nominating and Governance Committee and nominated by the Board.

The shareholder recommendation and information described above must be sent to the applicable Trust's Secretary, c/o Advent Capital Management, LLC, 1271 Avenue of the Americas, 45th Floor, New York, New York 10020 and must be received by the Secretary not less than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the Trust's most recent annual meeting of shareholders. The Nominating and Governance

Committee believes that the minimum qualifications for serving as a Trustee of the Trust(s) are that a candidate demonstrate, by significant accomplishment in his or her field, an ability to make a meaningful contribution to the Board's oversight of the business and affairs of the Trust(s) and have an impeccable record and reputation for honest and ethical conduct in both his or her professional and personal activities. In addition, the Nominating and Governance Committee examines a candidate's specific experiences and skills, time availability in light of other commitments, potential conflicts of interest and independence from management and the Trust(s). The Nominating and Governance Committee has a policy to consider diversity of backgrounds and experience when identifying Trustee nominee candidates. The Nominating and Governance Committee believes the Boards generally benefit from diversity of background, experience and views among its members, and considers how a particular candidate could be expected to contribute to such overall diversity and thereby enhance the effectiveness of the Board.

The Joint Nominating and Governance Committee Charter of the Trusts was approved by the Boards of AVK and LCM on December 12, 2006 and by the Board of AGC on March 13, 2007. The Joint Nominating and Governance Committee Charter of the Trusts is not available on the Trusts' website. In accordance with proxy rules promulgated by the SEC, a fund's nominating committee charter is required to be filed at least once every three years as an exhibit to a fund's proxy statement. The Joint Nominating and Governance Committee Charter of the Trusts is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

• Do the Trusts have a policy with respect to the attendance of Trustees at the Annual Meeting?

It is the Trusts' policy to encourage Trustees to attend annual meetings. At the joint annual meeting of AVK, LCM, and AGC held on September 29, 2009, six of the seven Trustees attended the meeting in person and one Trustee participated in the meeting by teleconference.

Shareholders and other interested parties may contact the Boards or any member of the Boards by mail. To communicate with the Boards or any member of the Boards, correspondence should be addressed to the Board or the Board members with whom you wish to communicate by either name or title. All such correspondence should be sent c/o the Secretary of the Trust or Trusts at 1271 Avenue of the Americas, 45th Floor, New York, New York 10020.

As of July 31, 2010, the Trustees owned shares of common stock of the Trusts in the following amounts:

⁽¹⁾ The aggregate dollar range of equity securities overseen by Mr. Nyberg in the Advent/Claymore Fund Complex is over $100,000.

The Trusts are committed to maintaining the privacy of shareholders and to safeguarding their non-public personal information. The following information is provided to help you understand what personal information the Trusts collect, how the Trusts protect that information and why, in certain cases, the Trusts may share information with select other parties.

Generally, the Trusts do not receive any non-public personal information relating to their shareholders, although certain non-public personal information of their shareholders may become available to the Trusts. The Trusts do not disclose any non-public personal information about their shareholders or former shareholders to anyone, except as permitted by law or as is necessary in order to service shareholder accounts (for example, to a transfer agent or third party administrator).

The Trusts restrict access to non-public personal information about their shareholders to employees of Advent and Claymore with a legitimate business need for the information. The Trusts maintain physical,

electronic and procedural safeguards designed to protect the non-public personal information of their shareholders.

Shareholder proposals intended for inclusion in the Trusts' proxy statement in connection with the Trusts' 2011 annual meeting of shareholders pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") must be received by a Trust at such Trust's principal executive offices by April 25, 2011. In order for proposals made outside of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act to be considered "timely" within the meaning of Rule 14a-4(c) under the Exchange Act, such proposals must be received by a Trust at the Trust's principal executive offices not later than July 9, 2011.

The management of the Trusts knows of no other matters which are to be brought before the Annual Meeting. However, if any other matters not now known properly come before the Annual Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy to vote such proxy in accordance with their judgment on such matters.

There shall be a nominating and governance committee of the Board of Trustees, which shall be composed of all of the Trustees (the "Independent Trustees") who are not interested persons of any investment advisor to the investment companies in the above-named fund complex (each, a "Fund"). The general purposes of the Committee are to provide assistance to the Board of each Fund (1) in fulfilling its responsibility with respect to oversight of the appropriate and effective governance of the Fund, (2) in selecting and nominating candidates for election to the Board, and (3) (a) in fulfilling its responsibility under Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act, as amended (the "1940 Act"), to consider the annual approval of the investment management and investment advisory arrangements for the Funds and (b) in considering the annual approval of any other contract which requires a similar consideration.

• To review the compensation of the Trustees periodically and to recommend any changes thereto to the Board;

• To recommend to the Board policies governing the retirement of Trustees, and any changes to them;

• To manage the process of conducting the annual self-assessment of the Board and the Committees thereof;

• To recommend to the Board policies with respect to Fund share ownership by Board members, and to recommend any changes thereto to the Board;

• To make recommendations to the Board regarding the designation and responsibilities of a Board chair and of such other officers of the Board as the Committee deems necessary or appropriate;

• To coordinate, in consultation with each Committee of the Board, recommendations to the Board of persons to serve as Committee chair;

• To review the allocation of assignments and functions to each of the Board's Committees and to recommend any changes to them, as well as changes to the Board's general Committee structure;

• To review and evaluate its own performance on an annual basis at least annually;

• To review and assess the adequacy of this Charter on an annual basis and propose any changes for approval by the Independent Trustees;

• To request, review and evaluate the materials required to be provided by the investment manager and investment adviser of the Funds under Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act, and by any other service provider to the Funds, with respect to the Board's annual consideration of the Funds' management and advisory arrangements and any other Fund contracts required to be considered for approval annually by the Board, and to make recommendations to the Board with respect to such considerations.

• search for appropriate candidates for nomination to the Board of Trustees when vacancies occur or the Board is seeking to increase the size of the Board,

• develop procedures and policies regarding minimum qualifications of Trustees, sources of recommendations and processes for considering recommendations, and

• make recommendations to the full Board with respect to candidates for the Board.

The Committee will consider Trustee candidates recommended by shareholders. In considering candidates submitted by shareholders, the Committee will take into consideration the needs of each Board and the

qualifications of the candidate. The Committee may also take into consideration the number of shares held by the recommending shareholder and the length of time that such shares have been held. To have a candidate considered by the Committee, a shareholder must submit the recommendation in writing and must include:

• The name of the shareholder and evidence of the person's ownership of shares of the applicable Trust(s), including the number of shares owned and the length of time of ownership; and

• The name of the candidate, the candidate's resume or a listing of his or her qualifications to be a Trustee of the Trust(s) and the person's consent to be named as a Trustee if selected by the Committee and nominated by the Board.

The Committee believes that the minimum qualifications for serving as a Trustee of the Fund(s) are that a candidate demonstrate, by significant accomplishment in his or her field, an ability to make a meaningful contribution to the Board's oversight of the business and affairs of the Fund(s) and have an impeccable record and reputation for honest and ethical conduct in both his or her professional and personal activities. In addition, the Committee examines a candidate's specific experiences and skills, time availability in light of other commitments, potential conflicts of interest and independence from management and the Fund(s). The Committee also seeks to have the Board represent a diversity of backgrounds and experience. In addition, in no event may a Trustee candidate be nominated if his or her term would commence after such candidate has attained the age of seventy-two (72) years.

The Committee may, if it so chooses, also review the Trustees subject to re-election.

The Committee will meet at least annually and will call special meetings as circumstances may require. The Committee shall act by majority of its members present at a meeting, in person or by conference telephone, at which at least half of its members are present, in person or by conference telephone, or by written consent of a majority of its members.

The Committee is authorized to consult independent counsel and other service providers and to hire or engage experts or subscribe for or otherwise obtain information, at the Funds' expense, it considers useful in performing its responsibilities.

The Committee will cause to be maintained minutes of each of its meetings that it has approved and will provide copies of such minutes to the Board and the Funds.
