SUMMARY INFORMATION

GUGGENHEIM YUAN BOND ETF (RMB)

Investment Objective

The Fund seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before the Fund’s fees and expenses, of a Yuan bond index called the AlphaShares China Yuan Bond Index (the “Index”).

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. Investors purchasing Shares in the secondary market may be subject to costs (including customary brokerage commissions) charged by their broker.

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)

Management fees (comprehensive management fee)	0.65%
Distribution and service  (12b-1) fees(1)	–  %
Other expenses(2)	0.00%
Total annual Fund operating expenses	0.65%

1.           The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service (12b-1) Plan pursuant to which the Fund may bear a 12b-1 fee not to exceed 0.25% per annum of the Fund’s average daily net assets.  However, no such fee is currently paid by the Fund and the Board of Trustees has adopted a resolution that no such fees will be paid in the first 12 months of the Fund’s operations.

2.           Other expenses are based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year.

Example

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The Example does not take into account brokerage commissions that you pay when purchasing or selling Shares of the Fund.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

One Year	Three Years
$66	$262

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in

2

higher taxes when Shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund, using a low cost “passive” or “indexing” investment approach, will seek to replicate, before the Fund’s fees and expenses, the performance of the AlphaShares China Yuan Bond Index. The Index is a rules-based index comprised of, as of August 31, 2011, approximately 37 securities.  The securities in the Index are bonds that are eligible for investment by U.S. and other foreign investors and denominated in Chinese Yuan, whether issued by Chinese or non-Chinese issuers and traded in the secondary market, a market commonly referred to as the “Dim Sum” bond market.  The Fund will not invest in securities traded in mainland China.  The Index includes bonds issued by mainland Chinese entities with a minimum of Yuan 1 billion outstanding par value, as well as bonds issued by non-mainland Chinese entities (which have no minimum outstanding par value requirement). All of the bond issues or issuers must have an investment grade rating by Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”), Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) and/or Fitch Ratings of Baa3/BBB-/BBB-, respectively, or better.  Bonds must have a minimum of one year maturity for inclusion in the Index. Only bonds that pay a fixed periodic coupon, that delay coupon payments until maturity, zero coupon bonds or floating rate bonds are eligible for inclusion in the Index.  The interest rates of the floating rate bonds in the Index typically adjust based upon the then-current Shanghai Interbank Offered Rate on a quarterly basis.  The Chinese Yuan-denominated debt securities in which the Fund invests are currently not listed on a stock exchange or a primary securities market where trading is conducted on a regular basis.  The Index was created by AlphaShares, LLC (“AlphaShares” or the “Index Provider”) and is maintained by Interactive Data Corporation (the “Index Administrator”). The Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in fixed income securities that comprise the Index.  The Fund has adopted a policy that requires the Fund to provide shareholders with at least 60 days notice prior to any material change in this policy or the Index. The Board of Trustees of Claymore Exchange-Traded Fund Trust 2 (the “Trust”) may change the Fund’s investment strategies and other policies without shareholder approval, except as otherwise indicated.

Guggenheim Funds Investment Advisors, LLC (the “Investment Adviser”), J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc. (“JPMIM”) and JF International Management Inc. (“JFIMI”) (the “Investment Sub-Advisers”) seek a correlation over time of 0.95 or better between the Fund’s performance and the performance of the Index. A figure of 1.00 would represent perfect correlation.

The Fund expects to use a sampling approach in seeking to achieve its investment objective. Sampling means that the Investment Adviser and Investment Sub-Advisers use quantitative analysis to select securities from the Index universe to obtain a representative sample of securities that resemble the Index in terms of key risk factors, performance attributes and other characteristics. These characteristics include maturity, credit quality, duration and other financial characteristics of fixed income securities. The quantity of holdings in the Fund will be based on a number of factors, including the asset size of the Fund, potential transaction costs in acquiring particular securities, the anticipated impact of particular index securities on the performance of the Index and the availability of particular securities in the secondary market. However, the Fund may use replication to achieve its objective if practicable. There may also be instances in which the Investment Adviser and Investment Sub-Advisers may choose to overweight another security in the Index, or purchase (or sell) securities not in the Index which the Investment Adviser and Investment Sub-Advisers believe are appropriate to substitute for one or more Index components, in seeking to accurately track the Index. In addition, from time to time securities are added to or removed from the Index. The Fund may sell securities that are represented in the Index or purchase securities that are not yet represented in the Index in anticipation of their removal from or addition to the Index.

3

If the Index concentrates in an industry or group of industries the Fund’s investments will be concentrated accordingly.  As of the date of this Prospectus, a significant percentage (i.e., greater than 30%) of the Index was comprised of companies in the financial services and government-related issues sectors.  Within the financial services sector, the Index was concentrated in the Chinese banking industry. The financial services sector includes companies that are principally engaged in the business of providing financial services and products, including banking, investment services, insurance and real estate finance services. The government-related issues sector includes debt securities issued by the Chinese government, Chinese government agencies and instrumentalities, and supranational agencies. Sector and industry allocation is not a factor in the construction of the Index and, accordingly, the Index’s allocations to any particular sector or industry may increase or decrease over time.

Principal Investment Risks

Investors should consider the following risk factors and special considerations associated with investing in the Fund, which may cause you to lose money.

Investment Risk.  An investment in the Fund is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount that you invest.

Foreign Issuers Risk. The Fund invests in Chinese Yuan-denominated bonds of foreign corporations, governments, agencies and instrumentalities and supranational agencies which have different risks than investing in U.S. companies. These include differences in accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards, the possibility of expropriation or confiscatory taxation, adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations, political instability which could affect U.S. investments in foreign countries, and potential restrictions of the flow of international capital. Foreign companies may be subject to less governmental regulation than U.S. issuers. Moreover, individual foreign economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in such respects as growth of gross domestic product, rate of inflation, capital investment, resource self-sufficiency and balance of payment options.

China Investment Risk.  The Index includes only bonds open to foreign ownership by U.S. investors.  Accordingly, the Index does not include, and the Fund will not invest in, securities traded in mainland China. As a result, returns achieved by non-Chinese investors, such as the Fund, could differ from those available to domestic investors in mainland China.  While the Index does not include securities traded in mainland China, Yuan-denominated bonds issued by mainland Chinese government, government agency and instrumentality, and bank issuers trading on the secondary market will be included in the Index.  Investing in Chinese bonds involves additional risks, including: the economy of China differs, often unfavorably, from the U.S. economy in such respects as structure, general development, government involvement, wealth distribution, rate of inflation, growth rate, allocation of resources and capital reinvestment; the central government has historically exercised substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy through administrative regulation and/or state ownership; and actions of the Chinese central and local government authorities continue to have a substantial effect on economic conditions in China. It is difficult for non-Chinese investors to directly access securities issued by Chinese issuers because of investment and trading restrictions. These limitations and restrictions may impact the availability, liquidity, and pricing of certain Yuan-denominated securities.

Currency Risk.  Changes in currency exchange rates and the relative value of the Chinese Yuan will affect the value of the Fund’s investment and the value of your Shares. Because the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) is determined on the basis of U.S. dollars, the U.S. dollar value of your investment in the Fund may go down if the value of the Chinese Yuan depreciates against the U.S. dollar. This is true even if the Chinese Yuan value of securities in the Fund’s portfolio goes up. Currency exchange rates can be

4

very volatile and can change quickly and unpredictably. As a result, the value of an investment in the Fund may change quickly and without warning and you may lose money.  The Yuan is currently not a freely convertible currency.  The government of China maintains strict currency controls in order to achieve economic, trade and political objectives and regularly intervenes in the currency market.  The government’s actions may not be transparent or predictable. As a result, the value of the Yuan, and the value of securities designed to provide exposure to the Yuan, can change quickly and arbitrarily. In addition, the Chinese government places strict regulation on the Yuan and manages the Yuan so that it has historically traded in a tight range relative to the U.S. dollar. The Chinese government has been under pressure to manage the currency in a less restrictive fashion so that it is less correlated to the U.S. dollar, which could increase the value of the Yuan relative to the U.S. dollar. Of course, there can be no guarantee that this will occur, or that the Yuan will move in relation to the U.S. dollar as expected.  Further, the Chinese government’s imposition of restrictions on the repatriation of Yuan out of mainland China may limit the depth of the offshore Yuan market and reduce the liquidity of the Fund’s investments. These and other factors could have a negative impact on the Fund’s performance and increase the volatility of an investment in the Fund.  The Chinese government’s policies on currency, control and repatriation restrictions are subject to change, and the Fund’s or the shareholders’ position may be adversely affected.

Limited Pool of Investments. The Index consists of Chinese-Yuan denominated debt securities issued or distributed outside mainland China. However, the quantity of such debt securities that are available for inclusion in the Index, and thus for the Fund to invest in, is currently limited, and the remaining duration of such instruments may be short.   This may adversely affect the Fund’s return and performance.  Moreover, the “Dim Sum” bond market is a relatively new market and there can be no guarantee that this market will continue to grow.

Credit/Default Risk. Credit risk is the risk that issuers or guarantors of debt instruments are unable or unwilling to make timely interest and/or principal payments or otherwise honor their obligations. Debt instruments are subject to varying degrees of credit risk, which may be reflected in credit ratings. Credit rating downgrades and defaults (failure to make interest or principal payment) may potentially reduce the Fund’s income and share price.  Chinese-Yuan denominated debt securities that the Fund invests in are typically unsecured debt obligations and are not supported by any collateral. The Fund will accordingly be fully exposed to the credit/insolvency risk of its counterparties as an unsecured creditor. The Fund may also encounter difficulties or delays in enforcing its rights against the issuers of Chinese-Yuan denominated debt securities as such issuers may be incorporated outside the United States and subject to foreign laws.  The Fund may invest in bond issues or issuers with an investment grade rating by Moody’s, S&P and/or Fitch Ratings of Baa3/BBB-/BBB-, respectively.  Securities with such ratings may possess certain speculative characteristics, and the ability of issuers of such securities to make timely payments of interest and principal may be adversely impacted by adverse changes in general economic conditions, changes in the financial condition of the issuers and price fluctuations in response to changes in interest rates.

Interest Rate Risk. As interest rates rise, the value of fixed-income securities held by the Fund are likely to decrease. Securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes, making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations.

Asset Class Risk. The bonds in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform the returns of other bonds or indexes that track other industries, markets, asset classes or sectors. Different types of bonds and indexes tend to go through different performance cycles than the general bond market.

5

Call Risk/Prepayment Risk. During periods of falling interest rates, an issuer of a callable bond may exercise its right to pay principal on an obligation earlier than expected. This may result in the Fund reinvesting proceeds at lower interest rates, resulting in a decline in the Fund’s income.

Extension Risk. Extension risk is the risk that an issuer will exercise its right to pay principal on an obligation later than expected. This may happen when there is a rise in interest rates. Under these circumstances, the value of the obligation will decrease and the Fund’s performance may suffer from its inability to invest in higher yielding securities.

Income Risk. Income risk is the risk that falling interest rates will cause the Fund’s income to decline.

Liquidity Risk.  Liquidity risk exists when particular investments are difficult to purchase or sell. If the Fund invests in securities that become illiquid, Fund returns may be reduced because the Fund may be unable to sell the illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price.  The Chinese-Yuan denominated debt securities in which the Fund invests are currently not listed on a stock exchange or a primary securities market where trading is conducted on a regular basis. There is also no guarantee that market making arrangements will be in place at all times to make a market and quote a price for all Chinese-Yuan denominated debt securities. If a security for which there is not an active secondary market is removed from the Index, the Fund may need to sell such security at a substantial discount in order to rebalance its holdings to match the Index and the Fund may suffer losses in trading such security. Even if a secondary market exists, the price at which the Chinese-Yuan denominated debt securities are traded may be higher or lower than the initial subscription price due to many factors, including the prevailing interest rates. Further, the bid and offer spread of the price of Chinese-Yuan denominated debt securities may be high, and the Fund may therefore incur significant trading costs and may even suffer losses when selling such investments.  Moreover, the “Dim Sum” bond market is a relatively new market and there can be no guarantee that trading will continue to thrive or increase in this market.

Financial Services Sector Risk. The financial services industries are subject to extensive government regulation, can be subject to relatively rapid change due to increasingly blurred distinctions between service segments, and can be significantly affected by availability and cost of capital funds, changes in interest rates, the rate of corporate and consumer debt defaults, and price competition. In addition, the deterioration of the credit markets since late 2007 generally has caused an adverse impact in a broad range of markets, including U.S. and international credit and interbank money markets generally, thereby affecting a wide range of financial institutions and markets. In particular, events in the financial sector since late 2008 have resulted, and may continue to result, in an unusually high degree of volatility in the financial markets, both domestic and foreign. This situation has created instability in the financial markets and caused certain financial services companies to incur large losses. Numerous financial services companies have experienced substantial declines in the valuations of their assets, taken action to raise capital (such as the issuance of debt or equity securities), or even ceased operations. These actions have caused the securities of many financial services companies to experience a dramatic decline in value. Issuers that have exposure to the real estate, mortgage and credit markets have been particularly affected by the foregoing events and the general market turmoil, and it is uncertain whether or for how long these conditions will continue.

Government-Related Issues Risk. Investments in government-related securities involve special risks. The governmental agency or instrumentality or supranational agency that controls the repayment of the debt may be unwilling or unable to repay the principal and/or interest when due in accordance with the terms of such securities due to such factors as: its cash flow situation; the extent of its foreign reserves; the availability of sufficient foreign exchange on the date a payment is due; the relative size of the debt service burden to the economy as a whole; the agency’s policy toward principal international

6

lenders; or political constraints to which a government-related debtor may be subject. Government-related debtors may also be dependent on expected disbursements from foreign governments, multilateral agencies and other entities to reduce principal and interest arrears on their debt. The failure of a government-related issuer to achieve specified levels of economic performance or repay principal or interest when due may result in the cancellation of third-party commitments to lend funds to the government-related debtor, which may further impair such debtor’s ability or willingness to service its debts. If an issuer of government-related debt defaults on payments of principal and/or interest, the Fund may have limited legal recourse against the issuer and/or guarantor. In addition, even if a foreign government subsequently guarantees the obligations of a government-related issuer or otherwise provides sufficient support to allow a government-related issuer to meet its obligations, that may cause the securities of such issuer to be considered as having been issued by the applicable foreign government directly, which may make it difficult for the Fund to comply with certain diversification requirements under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).  During periods of economic uncertainty, the market prices of government-related debt, and the Fund’s NAV, may be more volatile than prices of corporate debt obligations.

Any material changes in the political, economic, regulatory or social conditions prevailing in China may have a material adverse effect on the Chinese economy. The market prices of government-related debt and the Fund’s NAV may, therefore, be more volatile than prices of corporate debt obligations.

Chinese Banking Industry Risk. The banking industry a highly regulated industry in China and is subject to laws regulating all aspects of the banking business, including the Commercial Banking Law and related rules and regulations. The principal regulators of the Chinese banking industry include the China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC) and the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) and, in exercising their authority, these regulators are given wide discretion. The Chinese banking regulatory regime is currently undergoing significant changes, including changes in the rules and regulations, as it moves toward a more transparent regulatory process. Some of these changes may have an adverse impact on the performance of Chinese banks that issued Yuan-denominated debt securities and thus may adversely affect their capacity to honor their commitments under the Yuan-denominated debt securities to their creditors, which may include the Fund.

As some of these laws, rules, regulations or policies are relatively new, there is uncertainty regarding their interpretation and application. Failure to comply with any of these laws, rules, regulations or policies may result in fines, restrictions on business activities or, in extreme cases, suspension or revocation of business licenses of Chinese banks.  In addition, future laws, rules, regulations or policies, or the interpretation of existing or future laws, rules, regulations or policies, including accounting policies and standards, may have a material adverse affect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of Chinese banks. Future legislative or regulatory changes, including deregulation, may have a material adverse effect on Chinese banks’ business, financial condition and results of operations, and the Chinese banks may not be able to achieve full compliance with any such new laws, rules, regulations or policies.

Risks of Change in Government Support and Regulatory Regime governing “Dim Sum” bonds.  Issuance of “Dim Sum” bonds in Hong Kong is subject to Hong Kong laws and regulations. The Chinese central government currently views Hong Kong as one of the key offshore Chinese Yuan centers and has established a cooperative relationship with the Hong Kong government to develop the Hong Kong Chinese Yuan bond market. However, there is no assurance that the Chinese central government will continue to encourage issuance of Chinese Yuan bonds overseas and any change in the Chinese central government’s policy and/or the legal or regulatory regime in Hong Kong governing the issuance of “Dim Sum” bonds may have an adverse impact on the Fund’s investments.

7

Non-Correlation Risk. The Fund’s return may not match the return of the Index for a number of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs a number of operating expenses not applicable to the Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the Fund’s securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of the Index. Since the Index constituents may vary on a monthly basis, the Fund’s costs associated with rebalancing may be greater than those incurred by other exchange-traded funds that track indices whose composition changes less frequently.

 The Fund may not be fully invested at times, either as a result of cash flows into the Fund or reserves of cash held by the Fund to meet redemptions and expenses. Since the Fund utilizes a sampling approach, its return may not correlate as well with the return on the Index as would be the case if it purchased all of the securities in the Index with the same weightings as the Index.

Concentration Risk. If the Index concentrates in an industry or group of industries the Fund’s investments will be concentrated accordingly. In such event, the value of the Fund’s Shares may rise and fall more than the value of shares of a fund that invests in securities of companies in a broader range of industries.

Replication Management Risk.  Unlike many investment companies, the Fund is not “actively” managed.  Therefore, it would not necessarily sell a security because the security’s issuer was in financial trouble or in default, or whose credit rating was downgraded, unless that security is removed from the Index.

Issuer-Specific Changes.  The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole.  The value of securities of smaller issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.

Non-Diversified Fund Risk. The Fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in share price than would occur in a diversified fund.

Risk of Cash Transactions. In certain instances, unlike most ETFs, the Fund may effect creations and redemptions for cash, rather than in-kind. As a result, an investment in the Fund may be less tax-efficient than an investment in a more conventional ETF. ETFs generally are able to make in-kind redemptions and avoid being taxed on gain on the distributed portfolio securities at the Fund level. Because the Fund may effect redemptions for cash, rather than in-kind distributions, it may be required to sell portfolio securities in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. If the Fund recognizes gain on these sales, this generally will cause the Fund to recognize gain it might not otherwise have recognized, or to recognize such gain sooner than would otherwise be required if it were to distribute portfolio securities in-kind. The Fund generally intends to distribute these gains to shareholders to avoid being taxed on this gain at the Fund level and otherwise comply with the special tax rules that apply to it.

8

               This strategy may cause shareholders to be subject to tax on gains they would not otherwise be subject to, or at an earlier date than, if they had made an investment in a different ETF. Moreover, cash transactions may have to be carried out over several days if the securities market is relatively illiquid and may involve considerable brokerage fees and taxes. These brokerage fees and taxes, which will be higher than if the Fund sold and redeemed its Shares principally in-kind, will be passed on to purchasers and redeemers of Creation Units in the form of creation and redemption transaction fees. In addition, these factors may result in wider spreads between the bid and the offered prices of the Fund’s Shares than for more conventional ETFs.

The Fund’s Shares will change in value, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund. The Fund may not achieve its investment objective. An investment in the Fund has not been guaranteed, sponsored, recommended, or approved by the United States, or any agency, instrumentality or officer of the United States, has not been insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and is not guaranteed by and is not otherwise an obligation of any bank or insured depository institution.

Fund Performance

As of the date of this Prospectus, the Fund has not yet completed a full calendar year of investment operations.  When the Fund has completed a full calendar year of investment operations, this section will include charts that show annual total returns, highest and lowest quarterly returns and average annual total returns (before and after taxes) compared to a benchmark index selected for the Fund.

Management

Investment Adviser.  Guggenheim Funds Investment Advisors, LLC.

Investment Sub-Advisers.  J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc. and JF International Management Inc.

Portfolio Managers.  The portfolio managers who are currently responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio are Stephen Chang, Managing Director of JFIMI and Shaw-Yann Ho, Vice President of JFIMI.  Mr. Chang and Ms. Ho have managed the Fund’s portfolio since its inception.

Purchase and Sale of Shares

The Fund will issue and redeem Shares at NAV only in a large specified number of Shares called a “Creation Unit” or multiples thereof. A Creation Unit consists of 50,000 Shares.  Creation Unit transactions are typically constructed in exchange for the deposit or delivery of in kind securities and/or cash.  Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the Shares are not redeemable securities of the Fund. Individual Shares of the Fund may only be purchased and sold in secondary market transactions through brokers. Shares of the Fund will be listed for trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”) and because Shares will trade at market prices rather than NAV, Shares of the Fund may trade at a price greater than or less than NAV.

Tax Information

The Fund’s distributions are taxable and will generally be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Investment Adviser or other related companies may pay the intermediary for marketing activities and presentations, educational training programs, the support of technology platforms and/or reporting systems or other services related to the sale or promotion of the Fund. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.

Bonds issued by mainland Chinese entities including governments, government agencies and banks must have a minimum of RMB 1 Billion outstanding par value are eligible for inclusion in the index. There is no minimum outstanding par value for bonds issued by non-mainland Chinese entities.

     D.  Term to Maturity.  Bonds must have a minimum of one year maturity for inclusion in the Index. Bonds that fall below one year maturity will be deleted from the Index.

E.  Duration.  The Index will maintain an option adjusted modified duration (a duration calculation that incorporates the expected duration-shortening effect of an issuer’s embedded call provision) less than 3.5 years.

F.  Coupon Rate. Only bonds that pay a fixed periodic coupon, that delay coupon payments until maturity, zero coupon bonds or floating rate bonds are eligible for inclusion in the Index.

G.  Quality. Issues or issuers with an investment grade rating by Moody’s, S&P and/or Fitch Rating, Baa3/BBB-/BBB-, respectively, or better are eligible for inclusion in the Index.

H.  Maturity Type. Convertible bonds (bonds that can be converted into a predetermined amount of the company’s equity security during the life of the bond at the bondholder’s discretion) and putable bonds (bonds that give the holder the right to sell the bond to the

11

issuer prior to the bond’s maturity) are excluded from the Index. Bullet bonds (bonds that may not be redeemed by the issuer prior to maturity) and callable bonds are eligible for inclusion in the Index.

I.  Daily Pricing. Only issues which carry either an International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) or Stock Exchange Daily Official List (SEDOL) and can be priced on a daily basis are eligible for inclusion in the index.

2.      Target Weights and Number of Issues

Index constituents are weighted as follows.

A.   China Government Bond Weights and Number of Issues

a.   Security Weight - China Government Bond Sector Target and Maximum. The target weight of the China Government Bond Sector is 22.5%. Government bonds in total (either Chinese or other) are limited to a maximum of 32.5% of the index. The maximum target weight of any one China government bond position is targeted at 4.5% of the index, and bonds issued by any one government will not exceed 25% of the index. If the index holds less than the maximum number of targeted issues of China government bonds, the weights of the issues will be divided equally to come to 22.5%.

b.   Maximum Number of Issues - The index will target the five largest China government bonds by amount outstanding par value for inclusion in the index. If two or more bonds have the same amount outstanding par value, the bonds will be ranked by duration from shortest to longest with longer duration preferred over shorter unless inclusion of the bond would cause the index to exceed its duration maximum of 3.5 years in which case the next shortest duration bond would be selected such that the index duration would be less than the maximum.

B.   China Government Agency Weights and Number of Issues

a.   Security Weight - China Government Agency Sector Target and Maximum. The target weight of the China Government Agency Sector is 22.5%. Government Agency bonds in total (either Chinese or other) are limited to a maximum of 32.5% of the index. The maximum target weight of any one China government agency position is targeted at 4.5% of the index. If the index holds less than the maximum number of targeted issues of China government agency bonds, the weights of the issues will be divided equally to come to 22.5%.

b.   Maximum Number of Issues - The index will target the five largest China government agency bonds by amount outstanding par value for inclusion in the index. If two or more bonds have the same amount outstanding par value, the bonds will be ranked by duration from shortest to longest with longer duration preferred over shorter unless inclusion of the bond would cause the index to exceed its duration maximum of 3.5 in which case the next shortest duration bond would be selected such that the index duration would be less than the maximum.

C.   China Bank Weights and Number of Issues

12

a.   Security Weight - China Banks Sector Target and Maximum. The target weight of the China Banks Sector is 22.5% Bank bonds in total (either China or other) are limited to a maximum of 32.5% of the index. The target weight of any one China bank bond issue/issuer is targeted at 4.5% of the index. Multiple issues by a single issuer will be pro-rated as necessary, e.g., if two issues of one China bank qualify for inclusion in the index, they will be weighted at 2.25% each for a total of 4.5%. If the index holds less than the maximum number of targeted issues, the weights of the issues will be divided equally to come to 22.5%.

b.   China Bank Bond Issuers and Issues - The index will target the issues of the largest Mainland Chinese banks for inclusion in the index as per the eligibility rules. Issues will be ranked by par amount outstanding from largest to smallest. If two or more bonds have the same amount outstanding par value, the bonds will be ranked by duration from shortest to longest with longer duration preferred over shorter unless inclusion of the bond would cause the index to exceed its duration maximum of 3.5 years in which case the next shortest duration bond would be selected such that the index duration would be less than the maximum.

D.   Other Weights and Number of Issues

a.   Security Weights - Issues not fitting into any of the sectors above but otherwise meeting all the index eligibility criteria, i.e., non-Chinese government, government/agency, banks and corporate issues, will make up the remainder of the index. The total target weight of these issues will be 32.5% (representing the remaining portion of the index after accounting for targets of 22.5% China governments, 22.5% China government/agency and 22.5% China banks). Issues will be weighted by their pro-rata share of their par amount outstanding capped at 4.5% at the issue level, or at the issuer level if an issuer has multiple issues in the index.

Index Maintenance

1.   Additions

Qualified new issues listed during the month meeting all of the eligibility criteria listed previously, and following the target weights and number of issues rules above, are added to the index on the first business day of the month following 60 days after their original issue date.

Additions may also be made to replace a smaller amount outstanding par value bond with a larger amount outstanding par value bond as per the target weight and number of issues rules above.

2.   Deletions

Bonds that fall below one year maturity will be deleted after the close of the last business day of that month at which they fall below one year maturity. For example, a bond falling below one year maturity on August 15th will be deleted after the close of the last business day of August.

13

A bond may also be deleted if it is replaced by a larger amount outstanding par value bond per the target weight and number of issues rules above.

Following a deletion, the next qualifying bond by amount outstanding in their sectors, if necessary, will be added to the index.

3.   Index Reconstitution and Rebalancing

The index is rebalanced on a monthly basis to reflect any new additions, deletions or changes in weightings due to redemptions, buy backs or other activities since the last rebalance.

Index holdings are reweighted, if necessary, as per Section 2 above, effective after the close of the last business day of the month.

NON-PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

As a principal investment strategy and as described above, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in component securities that comprise its Index.  As non-principal investment strategies, the Fund may invest its remaining assets in fixed income securities not included in the Index, money market instruments, including repurchase agreements or other funds which invest exclusively in money market instruments, convertible securities, structured notes (notes on which the amount of principal repayment and interest payments are based on the movement of one or more specified factors, such as the movement of a particular bond or bond index), participation notes, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and in swaps, options and futures contracts.  Swaps, options and futures contracts (and convertible securities and structured notes) may be used by the Fund in seeking performance that corresponds to its respective Index, and in managing cash flows, but will not be used for hedging purposes.  The Fund may invest in Chinese Yuan-denominated time deposits (such as certificates of deposit) and/or forward foreign currency exchange contracts so as to obtain exposure to the Yuan pending the investment of cash received by the Fund into Yuan-denominated bonds pursuant to the Fund’s principal investment strategies. The Fund will not invest in money market instruments as part of a temporary defensive strategy to protect against potential market declines.  The Investment Adviser anticipates that it may take approximately three business days (i.e., each day the NYSE Arca is open) for additions and deletions to the Fund’s Index to be reflected in the portfolio composition of the Fund.

The Fund may borrow money from a bank up to a limit of 10% of the value of its assets, but only for temporary or emergency purposes.

The Fund may lend its portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions desiring to borrow securities to complete transactions and for other purposes.  In connection with such loans, the Fund receives liquid collateral equal to at least 102% of the value of the portfolio securities being lent.  This collateral is marked to market on a daily basis.  The Fund may lend its portfolio securities in an amount up to 33 1/3% of its assets. Securities lending is not a principal investment strategy of the Fund.

14

The policies described herein constitute non-fundamental policies that may be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.

NON-PRINCIPAL RISK CONSIDERATIONS

In addition to the principal risks described previously, there are certain non-principal risks related to investing in the Fund.

Chinese Yuan-Denominated Time Deposits Risk.  Changes in currency exchange rates and the relative value of the Chinese Yuan will affect the value of the Fund’s investments in Chinese Yuan-denominated time deposits. Currency exchange rates can be very volatile and can change quickly and unpredictably. The Yuan is currently not a freely convertible currency.  The government of China maintains strict currency controls in order to achieve economic, trade and political objectives and regularly intervenes in the currency market.  The government’s actions may not be transparent or predictable. As a result, the value of the Yuan, and the value of Yuan-denominated time deposits, can change quickly and arbitrarily. Investing in Yuan-denominated time deposits at Chinese banking institutions will also subject the Fund to the credit risk of the foreign banking institution that issues the Yuan-denominated time deposits.

Derivatives Risk. A derivative is a financial contract, whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of and underlying asset such as a security or index. The Fund may invest in certain types of derivatives contracts, including futures, options and swaps. Compared to conventional securities, derivatives can be more sensitive to changes in interest rates or to sudden fluctuations in market prices and thus the Fund’s losses may be greater if it invests in derivatives.

Participation Notes. Participation notes are issued by banks or broker-dealers and are designed to offer a return linked to the performance of a particular underlying equity security or market. Participation notes can have the characteristics or take the form of various instruments, including, but not limited to, certificates or warrants. The holder of a participation note that is linked to a particular underlying security is entitled to receive any dividends paid in connection with the underlying security. However, the holder of a participation note generally does not receive voting rights as it would if it directly owned the underlying security. The Fund may invest in a participation note as an alternative to investing directly in the underlying security, in circumstances where the Investment Adviser determines that investing in the participation note will enable the Fund to track its Index more efficiently (such as where, in the Investment Adviser’s determination, the participation note offers greater liquidity than the underlying security and/or may reduce the Fund’s tracking error against its Index due to additional costs involved with holding the underlying security directly).

Participation notes constitute direct, general and unsecured contractual obligations of the banks or broker-dealers that issue them, which therefore subject the Fund to counterparty risk, as discussed below. Investments in participation notes involve certain risks in addition to those associated with a direct investment in the underlying foreign companies or foreign securities markets whose return they seek to replicate. For instance, there can be no assurance that the trading price of a participation note will equal the underlying value of the foreign company or foreign securities market that it seeks to replicate. As the purchaser of a participation note, the Fund is relying on the creditworthiness of the counterparty issuing the participation note and has no rights under a participation note against the issuer of the underlying security. Therefore, if such counterparty were to become insolvent, the Fund would lose its investment. The risk that the Fund may lose its investments due to the insolvency of a single counterparty may be amplified to the extent the Fund purchases participation notes issued by one issuer or a small number of issuers. Participation notes also include transaction costs in addition to those applicable to a direct investment in securities. In addition, the Fund’s use of participation notes may cause the Fund’s

15

performance to deviate from the performance of the portion of its Index to which the Fund is gaining exposure through the use of participation notes.

Due to liquidity and transfer restrictions, the secondary markets on which participation notes are traded may be less liquid than the markets for other securities, which may lead to the absence of readily available market quotations for securities in the Fund’s portfolio. The ability of the Fund to value its securities becomes more difficult and the judgment in the application of fair value procedures may play a greater role in the valuation of the Fund’s securities due to reduced availability of reliable objective pricing data. Consequently, while such determinations will be made in good faith, it may nevertheless be more difficult for the Fund to accurately assign a daily value to such securities.

Risks of Currency Transactions. Foreign exchange transactions involve a significant degree of risk and the markets in which foreign exchange transactions are effected are highly volatile, highly specialized and highly technical. Significant changes, including changes in liquidity and prices, can occur in such markets within very short periods of time, often within minutes. Foreign exchange trading risks include, but are not limited to, exchange rate risk, counterparty risk, maturity gap, interest rate risk, and potential interference by foreign governments through regulation of local exchange markets, foreign investment or particular transactions in foreign currency. If the Fund utilizes foreign exchange transactions at an inappropriate time or judges market conditions, trends or correlations incorrectly, foreign exchange transactions may not serve their intended purpose of improving the correlation of the Fund’s return with the performance of the Index and may lower the Fund’s return. The Fund could experience losses if the value of its currency forwards, options and futures positions were poorly correlated with its other investments or if it could not close out its positions because of an illiquid market. In addition, the Fund could incur transaction costs, including trading commissions, in connection with certain foreign currency transactions.

Trading Issues.Trading in Shares on the NYSE Arca may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the NYSE Arca, make trading in Shares inadvisable.  In addition, trading in Shares on the NYSE Arca is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to the NYSE Arca “circuit breaker” rules.  There can be no assurance that the requirements of the NYSE Arca necessary to maintain the listing of the Fund will continue to be met or will remain unchanged.

Fluctuation of Net Asset Value.The NAV of the Fund’s Shares will generally fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund’s holdings.  The market prices of the Shares will generally fluctuate in accordance with changes in NAV as well as the relative supply of and demand for the Shares on the NYSE Arca.  The Investment Adviser cannot predict whether the Shares will trade below, at or above their NAV.  Price differences may be due, in large part, to the fact that supply and demand forces at work in the secondary trading market for the Shares will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces influencing the prices of the securities of the Index trading individually or in the aggregate at any point in time.

However, given that the Shares can be purchased and redeemed in Creation Units (unlike shares of many closed-end funds, which frequently trade at appreciable discounts from, and sometimes premiums to, their NAV), the Investment Adviser believes that large discounts or premiums to the NAV of the Shares should not be sustained.

Securities Lending.  Although the Fund will receive collateral in connection with all loans of its securities holdings, the Fund would be exposed to a risk of loss should a borrower default on its obligation to return the borrowed securities (e.g., the loaned securities may have appreciated beyond the value of the collateral held by the Fund).  In addition, the Fund will bear the risk of loss of any cash collateral that it invests.

16

Leverage.  To the extent that the Fund borrows money in the limited circumstances described above under “Non-Principal Investment Strategies,” it may be leveraged.  Leveraging generally exaggerates the effect on NAV of any increase or decrease in the market value of the Fund’s portfolio securities.

DISCLOSURE OF PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

A description of the Trust’s policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of the Fund’s portfolio securities is available in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.

PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES

General

The Shares will be issued or redeemed by the Fund at net asset value per Share only in Creation Unit size.

Most investors will buy and sell Shares of the Fund in secondary market transactions through brokers.  Shares of the Fund will be listed for trading on the secondary market on the NYSE Arca.    Shares can be bought and sold throughout the trading day like other publicly traded shares.  The Fund may liquidate and terminate at any time without shareholder approval. There is no minimum investment.  Although Shares are generally purchased and sold in “round lots” of 100 Shares, brokerage firms typically permit investors to purchase or sell Shares in smaller “odd lots,” at no per-share price differential.  When buying or selling Shares through a broker, you will incur customary brokerage commissions and charges, and you may pay some or all of the spread between the bid and the offered price in the secondary market on each leg of a round trip (purchase and sale) transaction.  The Fund will trade on the NYSE Arca at prices that may differ to varying degrees from the daily NAV of the Shares.  Given that the Fund’s Shares can be issued and redeemed in Creation Units, the Investment Adviser believes that large discounts and premiums to NAV should not be sustained for long.  The Fund will trade under the NYSE Arca symbol set forth in the chart below, subject to notice of issuance.

Name of Fund	NYSE Arca Ticker Symbol
Guggenheim Yuan Bond ETF	RMB

Share prices are reported in dollars and cents per Share.

Investors may acquire Shares directly from the Fund, and shareholders may tender their Shares for redemption directly to the Fund, only in Creation Units of 50,000 Shares.

19

Book Entry

Shares are held in book-entry form, which means that no stock certificates are issued.  The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or its nominee is the record owner of all outstanding Shares of the Fund and is recognized as the owner of all Shares for all purposes.

Investors owning Shares are beneficial owners as shown on the records of DTC or its participants.  DTC serves as the securities depository for all Shares.  Participants in DTC include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and other institutions that directly or indirectly maintain a custodial relationship with DTC.  As a beneficial owner of Shares, you are not entitled to receive physical delivery of stock certificates or to have Shares registered in your name, and you are not considered a registered owner of Shares.  Therefore, to exercise any right as an owner of Shares, you must rely upon the procedures of DTC and its participants.  These procedures are the same as those that apply to any other stocks that you may hold in book entry or “street name” form.

HOW TO BUY AND SELL SHARES

Pricing Fund Shares

The trading price of the Fund’s shares on the NYSE Arca may differ from the Fund’s daily net asset value and can be affected by market forces of supply and demand, economic conditions and other factors.

The NYSE Arca will disseminate the approximate value of Shares of the Fund every fifteen seconds.  This approximate value should not be viewed as a “real-time” update of the NAV per Share of the Fund because the approximate value may not be calculated in the same manner as the NAV, which is computed once a day, generally at the end of the business day.  The Fund is not involved in, or responsible for, the calculation or dissemination of the approximate value and the Fund does not make any warranty as to its accuracy.

The net asset value per Share of the Fund is determined once daily as of the close of the NYSE, usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, each day the NYSE is open for trading.  Shares will not be priced on regular national holidays or other days on which the NYSE is closed.  NAV per Share is determined by dividing the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities, cash and other assets (including accrued interest), less all liabilities (including accrued expenses), by the total number of shares outstanding.

Debt securities are valued at the mean between the last available bid and ask prices for such securities or, if such prices are not available, at prices for securities of comparable maturity, quality, and type.  Debt securities may also be valued based on price quotations or other equivalent indications of value provided by a third-party pricing service.  Short-term securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.  Equity securities are valued at the last reported sale price on the principal exchange or on the principal OTC market on which such securities are traded, as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE Arca on the day the securities are being valued or, if there are no sales, at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices.  Equity securities that are traded primarily on the NASDAQ Stock Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.  Securities for which market quotations (or other market valuations such as those obtained from a pricing service) are not readily available, including restricted securities, are valued by the Investment Adviser by a method that the Investment Adviser believes accurately reflects fair value, pursuant to policies adopted by the Board of Trustees and subject to the ultimate supervision of the Board of Trustees.  Securities will be valued at fair value when market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable, such as when a security’s value or meaningful portion of the Fund’s portfolio is

20

believed to have been materially affected by a significant event.  Such events may include a natural disaster, an economic event like a bankruptcy filing, a trading halt in a security, an unscheduled early market close or a substantial fluctuation in domestic and foreign markets that has occurred between the close of the principal exchange and the NYSE Arca.  In such a case, the value for a security is likely to be different from the last quoted market price.  In addition, due to the subjective and variable nature of fair market value pricing, it is possible that the value determined for a particular asset may be materially different from the value realized upon such asset’s sale.

Trading in securities on many foreign securities exchanges and over-the-counter markets is normally completed before the close of business on each U.S. business day.  In addition, securities trading in a particular country or countries may not take place on all U.S. business days or may take place on days that are not U.S. business days.  Changes in valuations on certain securities may occur at times or on days on which the Fund’s net asset value is not calculated and on which the Fund does not effect sales, redemptions and exchanges of its Shares.

Creation Units

Investors such as market makers, large investors and institutions who wish to deal in Creation Units directly with the Fund must have entered into an authorized participant agreement with the distributor, or purchase through a dealer that has entered into such an agreement.  Set forth below is a brief description of the procedures applicable to purchase and redemption of Creation Units.  For more detailed information, see “Creation and Redemption of Creation Unit Aggregations” in the Statement of Additional Information.

How to Buy Shares

In order to purchase Creation Units of the Fund, an investor must generally deposit a designated portfolio of fixed income securities constituting a substantial replication, or a representation, of the fixed income securities included in the Index (the “Deposit Securities”) (and/or an amount of cash in lieu of some or all of the Deposit Securities) and generally make a small cash payment referred to as the “Cash Component.”  For those Authorized Participants (as defined below) that are not eligible for trading a Deposit Security, custom orders are available.  The list of the names and the amounts of the Deposit Securities is made available by the Fund’s custodian through the facilities of the National Securities Clearing Corporation, commonly referred to as NSCC, immediately prior to the opening of business each day of the NYSE Arca.  The Cash Component represents the difference between the net asset value of a Creation Unit and the market value of the Deposit Securities.  In the case of custom orders, cash-in-lieu may be added to the Cash Component to replace any Deposit Securities that the Authorized Participant (as defined below) may not be eligible to trade or the Investment Adviser and Investment Sub-Advisers believe are in the best interests of the Fund not to accept in kind.

Orders must be placed in proper form (as described further in the Statement of Additional Information) by or through a participant of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC Participant”) that has entered into an agreement with the Trust, the distributor and the transfer agent, with respect to purchases and redemptions of Creation Units (collectively, “Authorized Participant” or “AP”) and must be in proper form pursuant to the requirements regarding submission and logistics set forth in such agreement.  See “Creation and Redemption of Creation Unit Aggregations” in the Statement of Additional Information.  All standard orders must be placed for one or more whole Creation Units of Shares of the Fund and must be received by the distributor in proper form no later than the close of regular trading on the NYSE Arca (ordinarily 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) (“Closing Time”) in order to receive that day’s closing NAV per Share.  In the case of certain custom orders, at the request of the AP and as further described in the Statement of Additional Information, the order must be received by the distributor no later than one hour

21

prior to Closing Time in order to receive that day’s closing NAV per Share.  A custom order may be placed by an Authorized Participant in the event that the Trust permits or requires the substitution of an amount of cash to be added to the Cash Component to replace any Deposit Security which may not be available in sufficient quantity for delivery or which may not be eligible for trading by such Authorized Participant or the investor for which it is acting or any other relevant reason.  See “Creation and Redemption of Creation Unit Aggregations” in the Statement of Additional Information.

The following fixed creation transaction fees per transaction for the Fund (the “Creation Transaction Fee”) set forth in the table below are applicable to each transaction regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased in the transaction.

Name of Fund	Fixed Creation Transaction Fees (Per Transaction)
Guggenheim Yuan Bond ETF	$1,500

An additional variable charge for cash creations or partial cash creations may also be imposed to compensate the Fund for the costs associated with buying the applicable securities. The Fund may adjust these fees from time to time based on actual experience.

The Fund reserves the right to effect creations in cash. A shareholder may request a cash creation in lieu of securities, however, the Fund may, in its discretion, reject any such request.  See “Creation and Redemption of Creation Unit Aggregations” in the Statement of Additional Information. The price for each Creation Unit will equal the daily NAV per Share times the number of Shares in a Creation Unit plus the fees described above and, if applicable, any transfer taxes.

Shares of the Fund may be issued in advance of receipt of all Deposit Securities subject to various conditions, including a requirement to maintain on deposit with the Trust cash at least equal to 115% of the market value of the missing Deposit Securities.  See “Creation and Redemption of Creation Unit Aggregations” in the Statement of Additional Information.

Legal Restrictions on Transactions in Certain Securities

An investor subject to a legal restriction with respect to a particular security required to be deposited in connection with the purchase of a Creation Unit may, at the Fund’s discretion, be permitted to deposit an equivalent amount of cash in substitution for any security which would otherwise be included in the Deposit Securities applicable to the purchase of a Creation Unit.  For more details, see “Creation and Redemption of Creation Unit Aggregations” in the Statement of Additional Information.

Redemption of Shares

Shares may be redeemed only in Creation Units at their NAV and only on a day the NYSE Arca is open for business.  The Fund’s custodian makes available immediately prior to the opening of business each day of the NYSE Arca, through the facilities of the NSCC, the list of the names and the amounts of the Fund’s portfolio securities that will be applicable that day to redemption requests in proper form (“Fund Securities”).  Fund Securities received on redemption may not be identical to Deposit Securities which are applicable to purchases of Creation Units.  Unless cash redemptions are available or specified for the Fund, the redemption proceeds consist of the Fund Securities, plus cash in an amount equal to the difference between the NAV of Shares being redeemed as next determined after receipt by the transfer agent of a redemption request in proper form, and the value of the Fund Securities (the “Cash Redemption

22

Amount”), less the applicable redemption fee and, if applicable, any transfer taxes.  Should the Fund Securities have a value greater than the NAV of Shares being redeemed, a compensating cash payment to the Trust equal to the differential, plus the applicable redemption fee and, if applicable, any transfer taxes will be required to be arranged for by or on behalf of the redeeming shareholder.  For more details, see “Creation and Redemption of Creation Unit Aggregations” in the Statement of Additional Information.

An order to redeem Creation Units of the Fund may only be effected by or through an Authorized Participant.  An order to redeem must be placed for one or more whole Creation Units and must be received by the transfer agent in proper form no later than the close of regular trading on the NYSE Arca (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) in order to receive that day’s closing NAV per Share.  In the case of certain custom orders, at the request of the AP and as further described in the Statement of Additional Information, the order must be received by the transfer agent no later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern time.

The following fixed redemption transaction fees per transaction for the Fund (the “Redemption Transaction Fee”) set forth in the table below is applicable to each redemption transaction regardless of the number of Creation Units redeemed in the transaction.

Name of Fund	Fixed Redemption Transaction Fees (Per Transaction)
Guggenheim Yuan Bond ETF	$1,500

An additional variable charge for cash redemptions or partial cash redemptions may also be imposed to compensate the Fund for the costs associated with selling the applicable securities. The Fund may adjust these fees from time to time based on actual experience.

The Fund reserves the right to effect redemptions in cash. A shareholder may request a cash redemption in lieu of securities, however, the Fund may, in its discretion, reject any such request. See “Creation and Redemption of Creation Unit Aggregations” in the Statement of Additional Information.

Distributions

Dividends and Capital Gains.  Fund shareholders are entitled to their share of the Fund’s income and net realized gains on its investments.  The Fund pays out substantially all of its net earnings to its shareholders as “distributions.”

The Fund typically earns interest from debt securities.  These amounts, net of expenses, are passed along to Fund shareholders as “income dividend distributions.”  The Fund realizes capital gains or losses whenever it sells securities.  Net long-term capital gains are distributed to shareholders as “capital gain distributions.”

Income dividends, if any, are distributed to shareholders monthly.  Net capital gains are distributed at least annually.  Dividends may be declared and paid more frequently to improve Index tracking or to comply with the distribution requirements of the Code.  Some portion of each distribution may result in a return of capital.  Fund shareholders will be notified regarding the portion of the distribution that represents a return of capital.

23

Distributions in cash may be reinvested automatically in additional whole Shares only if the broker through which the Shares were purchased makes such option available.

Distribution Plan and Service Plan

The Board of Trustees of the Trust has adopted a distribution and services plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.  Under the Plan, the Fund is authorized to pay distribution fees in connection with the sale and distribution of its shares and pay service fees in connection with the provision of ongoing services to shareholders of each class and the maintenance of shareholder accounts in an amount up to 0.25% of its average daily net assets each year.

No 12b-1 fees are currently paid by the Fund, and there are no current plans to impose these fees.  In addition, no such fees may be paid in the future without further approval by the Board of Trustees, and the Board of Trustees has adopted a resolution that no such fees will be paid in the first 12 months of the Fund’s operations.  However, in the event 12b-1 fees are charged in the future, because these fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an ongoing basis, these fees will increase the cost of your investment in the Fund.  By purchasing shares subject to distribution fees and service fees, you may pay more over time than you would by purchasing shares with other types of sales charge arrangements.  Long-term shareholders may pay more than the economic equivalent of the maximum front-end sales charge permitted by the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.  The net income attributable to the Shares will be reduced by the amount of distribution fees and service fees and other expenses of the Fund.

The Investment Adviser or its affiliates may make payments to broker-dealers, banks or other financial intermediaries (together, “intermediaries”) related to marketing activities and presentations, educational training programs, the support of technology platforms and/or reporting systems, or their making shares of the Fund and certain other Guggenheim funds available to their customers. Such payments, which may be significant to the intermediary, are not made by the Fund. Rather, such payments are made by the Investment Adviser or its affiliates from their own resources, which come directly or indirectly in part from fees paid by the Guggenheim funds complex. Payments of this type are sometimes referred to as revenue-sharing payments. A financial intermediary may make decisions about which investment options it recommends or makes available, or the level of services provided, to its customers based on the revenue-sharing payments it is eligible to receive. Therefore, such payments to an intermediary create conflicts of interest between the intermediary and its customers and may cause the intermediary to recommend the Fund or other Guggenheim funds over another investment. More information regarding these payments is contained in the Fund’s SAI. Please contact your salesperson or other investment professional for more information regarding any such payments his or her firm may receive from the Investment Adviser or its affiliates.

FREQUENT PURCHASES AND REDEMPTIONS

The Fund imposes no restrictions on the frequency of purchases and redemptions. The Board of Trustees evaluated the risks of market timing activities by the Fund’s shareholders when they considered that no restriction or policy was necessary. The Board noted that the Fund’s Shares can only be purchased and redeemed directly from the Fund in Creation Units by APs and that the vast majority of trading in the Fund’s Shares occurs on the secondary market. Because the secondary market trades do not involve the Fund directly, it is unlikely those trades would cause many of the harmful effects of market timing, including dilution, disruption of portfolio management, increases in the Fund’s trading costs and the realization of capital gains. To the extent the Fund may effect the purchase or redemption of Creation Units in exchange wholly or partially for cash, the Board noted that such trades could result in dilution to the Fund and increased transaction costs, which could negatively impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. However, the Board noted that direct trading by APs is critical to ensuring that the

24

Fund’s Shares trade at or close to NAV. In addition, the Fund imposes fixed and variable transaction fees on purchases and redemptions of Creation Units to cover the custodial and other costs incurred by the Fund in effecting trades. Finally, the Investment Adviser monitors orders from APs for patterns of abusive trading and the Fund reserves the right to not accept orders from APs that the Investment Adviser has determined may be disruptive to the management of the Fund, or otherwise not in the Fund’s best interests.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXATION

As with any investment, you should consider how your investment in Shares will be taxed.  The tax information in this Prospectus is provided as general information.  You should consult your own tax professional about the tax consequences of an investment in Shares.

Unless your investment in Shares is made through a tax-exempt entity or tax-deferred retirement account, such as an IRA plan, you need to be aware of the possible tax consequences when:

l The Fund makes distributions,

l You sell your Shares listed on the NYSE Arca, and

l You purchase or redeem Creation Units.

Taxes on Distributions

Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid monthly.  The Fund may also pay a special distribution at the end of the calendar year to comply with federal tax requirements.  In general, your distributions are subject to federal income tax when they are paid, whether you take them in cash or reinvest them in the Fund.  Dividends paid out of the Fund’s income and net short-term gains, if any, are taxable as ordinary income.  Distributions of net long-term capital gains, if any, in excess of net short-term capital losses are taxable as long-term capital gains, regardless of how long you have held the Shares.

Long-term capital gains of non-corporate taxpayers are generally taxed at a maximum rate of 15% for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2013.  In addition, for these taxable years some ordinary dividends declared and paid by the Fund to non-corporate shareholders may qualify for taxation at the lower reduced tax rates applicable to long-term capital gains, provided that the holding period and other requirements are met by the Fund and the shareholder. Thereafter, without future Congressional action, the maximum rate of long-term capital gain will return to 20% in 2013, and all dividends will be taxed at ordinary income rates.

Distributions in excess of the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits are treated as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of your basis in the Shares, and as capital gain thereafter. A distribution will reduce the Fund’s net asset value per Share and may be taxable to you as ordinary income or capital gain even though, from an investment standpoint, the distribution may constitute a return of capital.

Dividends and interest received by the Fund may give rise to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries. Tax conventions between certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate such taxes.

If you are not a citizen or permanent resident of the United States, the Fund’s ordinary income dividends (which include distributions of net short-term capital gains) will generally be subject to a 30% U.S. withholding tax, unless a lower treaty rate applies or unless such income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business carried on through a permanent establishment in the United States. Prospective investors are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning the applicability of the U.S. withholding tax.

26

By law, the Fund must withhold a percentage of your distributions and proceeds if you have not provided a taxpayer identification number or social security number. The backup withholding rate for individuals is currently 28%.

Taxes on Exchange-Listed Shares Sales

Currently, any capital gain or loss realized upon a sale of Shares is generally treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the Shares have been held for more than one year and as short-term capital gain or loss if the Shares have been held for one year or less.  Capital loss realized on the sale or exchange of shares held for six months or less will be treated as long-term capital loss to the extent of any capital gain dividends received by the shareholder. The ability to deduct capital losses may be limited.

Taxes on Purchase and Redemption of Creation Units

An Authorized Participant who exchanges fixed income securities for Creation Units generally will recognize a gain or a loss. The gain or loss will be equal to the difference between the market value of the Creation Units at the time and the exchanger’s aggregate basis in the securities surrendered and the Cash Component paid. A person who exchanges Creation Units for fixed income securities will generally recognize a gain or loss equal to the difference between the exchanger’s basis in the Creation Units and the aggregate market value of the securities received and the Cash Redemption Amount. The IRS, however, may assert that a loss realized upon an exchange of securities for Creation Units cannot be deducted currently under the rules governing “wash sales” on the basis that there has been no significant change in economic position. Persons exchanging securities should consult their own tax advisor with respect to whether the wash sale rules apply and when a loss might be deductible.

Under current federal tax laws, any capital gain or loss realized upon redemption of Creation Units is generally treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the Shares have been held for more than one year and as a short-term capital gain or loss if the Shares have been held for one year or less.

If you purchase or redeem Creation Units, you will be sent a confirmation statement showing how many and at what price you purchased or sold Shares.

The foregoing discussion summarizes some of the possible consequences under current federal tax law of an investment in the Fund. It is not a substitute for personal tax advice. You may also be subject to state and local taxation on Fund distributions and sales of Fund Shares. You are advised to consult your personal tax advisor about the potential tax consequences of an investment in Fund Shares under all applicable tax laws.

Chinese Taxes

Investors should note that where the Fund invests in Yuan-denominated debt securities of which the income (such as interest income) is derived from China (including Yuan-denominated debt securities issued by Chinese tax resident enterprises), if any, the Fund is subject to withholding of Enterprise Income Tax imposed in China. The Fund may also be subject to other taxes imposed in China.

Under the Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules, income derived from China by non-resident enterprises which have no establishment or place in China are subject to withholding of Enterprise Income Tax at the rate of 10% (such rate may however be subject to change from time to time). As such, in respect of the investments of the Fund in Yuan-denominated debt securities of which the income (such as interest income) is derived from China, if any, the Fund is subject to withholding of

27

Enterprise Income Tax; and such withholding tax will reduce the income to the Fund and adversely affect the performance of the Fund.

However, there are still uncertainties as to the application of the Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules (e.g. it is not clear as to whether gains on disposal of such Yuan-denominated debt securities would be subject to withholding of Enterprise Income Tax and if so, whether such withholding will apply retrospectively). Currently, the Investment Adviser and Investment Sub-Advisers have not made any provision for taxes. To ensure fairness to all shareholders, the Investment Adviser and the Investment Sub-Advisers reserve the right to make any provision for taxes or deduct or withhold an amount on account of taxes (for which the Fund may be directly or indirectly liable to the Chinese tax authorities in respect of the Fund’s investments in the relevant Yuan-denominated debt securities) from assets of the Fund as they consider appropriate.

Once the Chinese tax authority has issued further notices or clarified the uncertainties regarding the application of the Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules, the Investment Adviser and Investment Sub-Advisers may make such provision for taxes or such adjustments to the amount of provision for taxes (if any) as they consider necessary as soon as practicable. If provision for taxes is to be made, the Investment Adviser and Investment Sub-Advisers will notify the relevant shareholders of the same as soon as practicable. The amount of such provision, deduction or withholding for taxes by the Investment Adviser and Investment Sub-Advisers will be disclosed in the financial reports of the Fund.

In case of no provision for taxes being made or a difference between the Fund’s provision for taxes (if any) and its actual Chinese tax liabilities, the relevant amounts shall be credited to or debited from the Fund’s assets (as the case may be). As a result, the income from, and/or the performance of, the Fund may or may not be adversely affected and the impact on individual shareholders of the Fund may vary, depending on factors such as the level of the Fund’s provision for taxes (if any) and the amount of the difference at the relevant time and when the relevant shareholders subscribed for and/or redeemed their Shares in the Fund.

There is a possibility that the current tax laws, rules, regulations and practice in China and/or the current interpretation or understanding thereof may change in the future and such change(s) may have retrospective effect. The Fund could become subject to additional taxation that is not anticipated as at the date hereof or when the relevant investments are made, valued or disposed of. Any of those changes may reduce the income from, and/or the value of, the relevant investments in the Fund.

TAX-ADVANTAGED PRODUCT STRUCTURE

Unlike interests in many conventional mutual funds, the Shares are traded throughout the day on a national securities exchange, whereas mutual fund interests are typically only bought and sold at closing net asset values.  The Shares have been designed to be tradable in the secondary market on a national securities exchange on an intra-day basis, and to be created and redeemed in-kind and/or for cash in Creation Units at each day’s next calculated NAV.  To the extent Creation Units are created and redeemed in-kind, those arrangements are designed to protect ongoing shareholders from adverse effects on the Fund’s portfolio that could arise from frequent cash creation and redemption transactions.  In a conventional mutual fund, redemptions can have an adverse tax impact on taxable shareholders because the mutual fund may need to sell portfolio securities to obtain cash to meet fund redemptions.  These sales may generate taxable gains for the shareholders of the mutual fund, whereas the Shares’ in-kind redemption mechanism generally will not lead to a tax event for the Fund or its ongoing shareholders.

28

OTHER INFORMATION

For purposes of the 1940 Act, the Fund is treated as a registered investment company. Section 12(d)(1) of the 1940 Act restricts investments by investment companies in the securities of other investment companies, including shares of the Fund. Registered investment companies are permitted to invest in the Fund beyond the limits set forth in Section 12(d)(1) subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in a Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) exemptive order issued to the Trust, including that such investment companies enter into an agreement with the Fund.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST AND THE FUND

The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 8, 2006 and is authorized to have multiple series or portfolios.  The Trust is an open end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).  The Trust currently consists of 17 investment portfolios.  This Statement of Additional Information relates to the Guggenheim Yuan Bond ETF (the “Fund”).  The Fund is “non-diversified” and, as such, the Fund’s investments are not required to meet certain diversification requirements under the 1940 Act.  The shares of the Fund are referred to herein as “Shares” or “Fund Shares.”

The Fund is managed by Guggenheim Funds Investment Advisors, LLC (“Guggenheim Funds Advisors” or the “Investment Adviser”).  J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc. (“JPMIM”) and JF International Management Inc. (“JFIMI”) are the Fund’s investment sub-advisers (together, the “Investment Sub-Advisers”).

The Fund offers and issues Shares at net asset value (“NAV”) only in aggregations of a specified number of Shares (each a “Creation Unit” or a “Creation Unit Aggregation”), generally in exchange for a basket of component securities included in its underlying index (the “Deposit Securities”) and/or an amount of cash in lieu of some or all of the Deposit Securities, together with the deposit of a specified cash payment (the “Cash Component”).  The Fund anticipates that its Shares will be listed on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “NYSE Arca”).  Fund Shares will trade on the NYSE Arca at market prices that may be below, at or above NAV.  Shares are redeemable only in Creation Unit Aggregations and, generally, in exchange for portfolio securities and/or a specified cash payment.  Creation Units are aggregations of 50,000 Shares.  In the event of the liquidation of the Fund, the Trust may lower the number of Shares in a Creation Unit.

The Trust reserves the right to offer a “cash” option for creations and redemptions of Fund Shares.  Fund Shares may be issued in advance of receipt of Deposit Securities subject to various conditions including a requirement to maintain on deposit with the Trust cash at least equal to 115% of the market value of the missing Deposit Securities.  See the “Creation and Redemption of Creation Unit Aggregations” section.  In each instance of such cash creations or redemptions, transaction fees may be imposed that will be higher than the transaction fees associated with in-kind creations or redemptions.  In all cases, such fees will be limited in accordance with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) applicable to management investment companies offering redeemable securities.

EXCHANGE LISTING AND TRADING

There can be no assurance that the requirements of the NYSE Arca necessary to maintain the listing of Shares of the Fund will continue to be met.  The NYSE Arca may, but is not required to, remove the Shares of the Fund from listing if (i) following the initial 12-month period beginning at the commencement of trading of the Fund, there are fewer than 50 beneficial owners of the Shares of the Fund for 30 or more consecutive trading days; or (ii) the value of the underlying index is no longer calculated or available; or (iii) such other event shall occur or condition exist that, in the opinion of the NYSE Arca, makes further dealings on the NYSE Arca inadvisable.  The NYSE Arca will remove the Shares of the Fund from listing and trading upon termination of the Fund.

As in the case of other stocks traded on the NYSE Arca, broker’s commissions on transactions will be based on negotiated commission rates at customary levels.

2

The Trust reserves the right to adjust the price levels of the Shares in the future to help maintain convenient trading ranges for investors.  Any adjustments would be accomplished through stock splits or reverse stock splits, which would have no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

1 If the Fund's investments are "diversified" under the 1940 Act for a period of three years, the Fund will then be considered "diversified" and will not be able to convert to a non-diversified fund without the approval of shareholders.

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS AND POLICIES

Investment Objective

The Fund seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before the Fund’s fees and expenses of a China Yuan bond index called the AlphaShares China Yuan Bond Index (the “Index”).

Investment Restrictions

The Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) has adopted as fundamental policies the Fund’s investment restrictions, numbered (1) through (7) below.  The Fund, as a fundamental policy, may not:

(1)           Invest 25% or more of the value of its total assets in securities of issuers in any one industry or group of industries, except to the extent that the underlying index that the Fund replicates concentrates in an industry or group of industries.  This restriction does not apply to obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities.

(2)           Borrow money, except that the Fund may (i) borrow money from banks for temporary or emergency purposes (but not for leverage or the purchase of investments) up to 10% of its total assets and (ii) make other investments or engage in other transactions permissible under the 1940 Act that may involve a borrowing, provided that the combination of (i) and (ii) shall not exceed 33 1/3% of the value of the Fund’s total assets (including the amount borrowed), less the Fund’s liabilities (other than borrowings).

(3)           Act as an underwriter of another issuer’s securities, except to the extent that the Fund may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with the purchase and sale of portfolio securities.

(4)           Make loans to other persons, except through (i) the purchase of debt securities permissible under the Fund’s investment policies, (ii) repurchase agreements or (iii) the lending of portfolio securities, provided that no such loan of portfolio securities may be made by the Fund if, as a result, the aggregate of such loans would exceed 33 1/3% of the value of the Fund’s total assets.

(5)           Purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the Fund (i) from purchasing or selling options, futures contracts or other derivative instruments, or (ii) from investing in securities or other instruments backed by physical commodities).

3

(6)           Purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prohibit the Fund from purchasing or selling securities or other instruments backed by real estate or of issuers engaged in real estate activities).

(7)           Issue senior securities, except as permitted under the 1940 Act.

Pursuant to restriction (1), if the Fund's underlying index is concentrated in an industry or group of industries, the Fund will concentrate its investments accordingly. If the Fund's underlying index ceases to concentrate in an industry or group of industries, the Fund will cease concentrating its investments accordingly.

Except for restriction (2), if a percentage restriction is adhered to at the time of investment, a later increase in percentage resulting from a change in market value of the investment or the total assets, or the sale of a security out of the portfolio, will not constitute a violation of that restriction.

With respect to restriction (2)(ii), the Fund does not currently intend to make investments or engage in other transactions constituting borrowing for 1940 Act purposes where such investments or transactions are for leverage or the purchase of investments.

The foregoing fundamental investment policies cannot be changed as to the Fund without approval by holders of a “majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting shares.”  As defined in the 1940 Act, this means the vote of (i) 67% or more of the Fund’s shares present at a meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the Fund’s shares are present or represented by proxy, or (ii) more than 50% of the Fund’s shares, whichever is less.

In addition to the foregoing fundamental investment policies, the Fund is also subject to the following non-fundamental restrictions and policies, which may be changed at any time by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.  The Fund may not:

(1)           Sell securities short, unless the Fund owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold short at no added cost, and provided that transactions in options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts or other derivative instruments are not deemed to constitute selling securities short.

(2)           Purchase securities on margin, except that the Fund may obtain such short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance of transactions; and provided that margin deposits in connection with futures contracts, options on futures contracts or other derivative instruments shall not constitute purchasing securities on margin.

(3)           Purchase securities of open-end or closed-end investment companies except in compliance with the 1940 Act.

(4)           Invest in direct interests in oil, gas or other mineral exploration programs or leases; however, the Fund may invest in the securities of issuers that engage in these activities.

(5)           Invest in illiquid securities if, as a result of such investment, more than 15% of the Fund’s net assets would be invested in illiquid securities.

4

With respect to investment in illiquid securities, if changes in the values of the Fund's securities cause the Fund's holdings of illiquid securities to exceed the 15% limitation (as if liquid securities have become illiquid), the Fund will take such actions as it deems appropriate and practicable to attempt to reduce its holdings of illiquid securities.

The investment objective of the Fund is a non-fundamental policy that can be changed by the Board of Trustees without approval by shareholders.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RISKS

The discussion below supplements, and should be read in conjunction with, the “Principal Investment Strategies” section of the Prospectus.

Bonds. The Fund invests in bonds that are eligible for investment by U.S. investors and denominated in Yuan, of Chinese and non-Chinese issuers and traded in the secondary market, a market commonly referred to as the “Dim Sum” bond market. A bond is an interest-bearing security issued by a company or governmental unit, including a non-U.S. entity. The issuer of a bond has a contractual obligation to pay interest at a stated rate on specific dates and to repay principal (the bond's face value) periodically or on a specified maturity date.  An issuer may have the right to redeem or "call" a bond before maturity, in which case the investor may have to reinvest the proceeds at lower market rates. Most bonds bear interest income at a "coupon" rate that is fixed for the life of the bond. The value of a fixed rate bond usually rises when market interest rates fall, and falls when market interest rates rise. Accordingly, a fixed rate bond's yield (income as a percent of the bond's current value) may differ from its coupon rate as its value rises or falls. Other types of bonds bear income at an interest rate that is adjusted periodically. Because of their adjustable interest rates, the value of "floating-rate" or "variable-rate" bonds fluctuates much less in response to market interest rate movements than the value of fixed rate bonds. The Fund may treat some of these bonds as having a shorter maturity for purposes of calculating the weighted average maturity of its investment portfolio. Bonds may be senior or subordinated obligations. Senior obligations generally have the first claim on a corporation's earnings and assets and, in the event of liquidation, are paid before subordinated obligations. Bonds may be unsecured (backed only by the issuer's general creditworthiness) or secured (also backed by specified collateral).

 Corporate Bonds. The Fund may invest in corporate bonds. The investment return of corporate bonds reflects interest on the security and changes in the market value of the security. The market value of a corporate bond may be affected by the credit rating of the corporation, the corporation's performance and perceptions of the corporation in the market place. There is a risk that the issuers of the securities may not be able to meet their obligations on interest or principal payments at the time called for by an instrument.

Variable or Floating Rate Instruments. The Fund may invest in securities that have variable or floating interest rates which are readjusted on set dates (such as the last day of the month or calendar quarter) in the case of variable rates or whenever a specified interest rate change occurs in the case of a floating rate instrument. Variable or floating interest rates generally reduce changes in the market price of securities from their original purchase price because, upon readjustment, such rates approximate market rates. Accordingly, as interest rates decrease or increase, the potential for capital appreciation or depreciation is less for variable or floating rate securities than for fixed rate obligations. Many securities with variable or floating interest rates purchased by the Fund are subject to payment of principal and accrued interest (usually within seven days) on the Fund's demand. The terms of such demand instruments require payment of principal and accrued interest by the issuer, a guarantor and/or a liquidity

5

provider. The Investment Adviser and Investment Sub-Adviser will monitor the pricing, quality and liquidity of the variable or floating rate securities held by the Fund.

The discussion below supplements, and should be read in conjunction with, the “Non-Principal Investment Strategies” section of the Prospectus.

Commercial Instruments. The Fund may invest in commercial interests, including commercial paper, master notes and other short-term corporate instruments. Commercial paper consists of short-term promissory notes issued by corporations. Commercial paper may be traded in the secondary market after its issuance. Master notes are demand notes that permit the investment of fluctuating amounts of money at varying rates of interest pursuant to arrangements with issuers who meet the quality criteria of the Fund. The interest rate on a master note may fluctuate based upon changes in specified interest rates, be reset periodically according to a prescribed formula or be a set rate. Although there is no secondary market in master demand notes, if such notes have a demand future, the payee may demand payment of the principal amount of the note upon relatively short notice. Master notes are generally illiquid and therefore subject to the Fund's percentage limitations for investments in illiquid securities.

Rule 144A Securities. The Fund may invest in Rule 144A securities. Rule 144A securities are securities which, while privately placed, are eligible for purchase and resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. This rule permits certain qualified institutional buyers, such as the Funds, to trade in privately placed securities even though such securities are not registered under the Securities Act.  The Investment Adviser, under supervision of the Board, will consider whether securities purchased under Rule 144A are illiquid and thus subject to a Fund's restriction on illiquid securities. Determination of whether a Rule 144A security is liquid or not is a question of fact. In making this determination, the Investment Adviser will consider the trading markets for the specific security taking into account the unregistered nature of a Rule 144A security. In addition, the Investment Adviser could consider the (i) frequency of trades and quotes; (ii) number of dealers and potential purchasers; (iii) dealer undertakings to make a market; and (iv) nature of the security and of market place trades (for example, the time needed to dispose of the security, the method of soliciting offers and the mechanics of transfer). The Investment Adviser will also monitor the liquidity of Rule 144A securities, and if, as a result of changed conditions, the Investment Adviser determines that a Rule 144A security is no longer liquid, the Investment Adviser will review the Fund's holdings of illiquid securities to determine what, if any, action is required to assure that the Fund complies with its restriction on investment of illiquid securities. Investing in Rule 144A securities could increase the amount of the Fund's investments in illiquid securities if qualified institutional buyers are unwilling to purchase such securities.

Loans of Portfolio Securities.  The Fund may lend its investment securities to approved borrowers.  Any gain or loss on the market price of the securities loaned that might occur during the term of the loan would be for the account of the Fund.  Pursuant to positions of the SEC staff, these loans cannot exceed 33 1/3% of the Fund's total assets.  Voting rights in respect of such lent securities will typically pass to the borrower, but the Fund retains the right to call any security in anticipation of a vote that the Investment Adviser and Investment Sub-Adviser deem material to the security on loan.

Approved borrowers are brokers, dealers, domestic and foreign banks, or other financial institutions that meet credit or other requirements as established by, and subject to the review of, the Trust's Board, so long as the terms, the structure and the aggregate amount of such loans are not inconsistent with the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder or interpretations of the SEC, which require that (a) the borrowers pledge and maintain with the Fund collateral consisting of cash, an irrevocable letter of credit issued by a bank, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government having a value at all times of not less than 102% of the value of the securities loaned (on a "mark-to-market" basis); (b) the loan be made subject to termination by the Fund at any time; and (c) the Fund receives reasonable interest on the loan.  From time to time, the Fund may return a part of the interest

6

earned from the investment of collateral received from securities loaned to the borrower and/or a third party that is unaffiliated with the Fund and that is acting as a finder.

Repurchase Agreements.  The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, which are agreements pursuant to which securities are acquired by the Fund from a third party with the understanding that they will be repurchased by the seller at a fixed price on an agreed date.  These agreements may be made with respect to any of the portfolio securities in which the Fund is authorized to invest.  Repurchase agreements may be characterized as loans secured by the underlying securities.  The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with (i) member banks of the Federal Reserve System having total assets in excess of $500 million and (ii) securities dealers ("Qualified Institutions").  The Investment Adviser and Investment Sub-Advisers will monitor the continued creditworthiness of Qualified Institutions. The use of repurchase agreements involves certain risks.  For example, if the seller of securities under a repurchase agreement defaults on its obligation to repurchase the underlying securities, as a result of its bankruptcy or otherwise, the Fund will seek to dispose of such securities, which action could involve costs or delays.  If the seller becomes insolvent and subject to liquidation or reorganization under applicable bankruptcy or other laws, the Fund's ability to dispose of the underlying securities may be restricted.  Finally, it is possible that the Fund may not be able to substantiate its interest in the underlying securities.  To minimize this risk, the securities underlying the repurchase agreement will be held by the custodian at all times in an amount at least equal to the repurchase price, including accrued interest.  If the seller fails to repurchase the securities, the Fund may suffer a loss to the extent proceeds from the sale of the underlying securities are less than the repurchase price. The resale price reflects the purchase price plus an agreed upon market rate of interest.  The collateral is marked to market daily.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements.  The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements, which involve the sale of securities with an agreement to repurchase the securities at an agreed-upon price, date and interest payment and have the characteristics of borrowing.  The securities purchased with the funds obtained from the agreement and securities collateralizing the agreement will have maturity dates no later than the repayment date.  Generally the effect of such transactions is that the Fund can recover all or most of the cash invested in the portfolio securities involved during the term of the reverse repurchase agreement, while in many cases the Fund is able to keep some of the interest income associated with those securities.  Such transactions are only advantageous if the Fund has an opportunity to earn a greater rate of return on the cash derived from these transactions than the interest cost of obtaining the same amount of cash.  Opportunities to realize earnings from the use of the proceeds equal to or greater than the interest required to be paid may not always be available and the Fund intends to use the reverse repurchase technique only when the Investment Adviser and Investment Sub-Advisers believe it will be advantageous to the Fund.  The use of reverse repurchase agreements may exaggerate any interim increase or decrease in the value of the Fund's assets.  The custodian bank will maintain a separate account for the Fund with securities having a value equal to or greater than such commitments.  Under the 1940 Act, reverse repurchase agreements are considered a form of borrowing.  Accordingly, the Fund may invest up to 33 1/3% of its total assets in reverse repurchase agreements, but the Fund currently expects to only invest in reverse repurchase agreements to a much more limited extent. Reverse repurchase agreements are not part of the Fund's principal investment strategy.

Money Market Instruments.  The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in high-quality money market instruments on an ongoing basis to provide liquidity.  The instruments in which the Fund may invest include:  (i) short-term obligations issued by the U.S. Government; (ii) negotiable certificates of deposit ("CDs"), fixed time deposits and bankers' acceptances of U.S. and foreign banks and similar institutions; (iii) commercial paper rated at the date of purchase "Prime-1" by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or "A-1+" or "A-1" by Standard & Poor's or, if unrated, of comparable quality as determined by the Investment Adviser and Investment Sub-Advisers; (iv) repurchase agreements; and (v) money market mutual funds.  CDs are short-term negotiable obligations of commercial banks.  Time deposits are non-

7

negotiable deposits maintained in banking institutions for specified periods of time at stated interest rates.  Banker's acceptances are time drafts drawn on commercial banks by borrowers, usually in connection with international transactions.

 Investment Companies.  The Fund may invest in the securities of other investment companies (including money market funds).  Under the 1940 Act, or as otherwise permitted by the SEC, the Fund's investment in investment companies is limited to, subject to certain exceptions, (i) 3% of the total outstanding voting stock of any one investment company, (ii) 5% of the Fund's total assets with respect to any one investment company and (iii) 10% of the Fund's total assets of investment companies in the aggregate.

Illiquid Securities.  The Fund may invest up to an aggregate amount of 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities.  Illiquid securities include securities subject to contractual or other restrictions on resale and other instruments that lack readily available markets.

Currency Transactions.  The Fund does not expect to engage in currency transactions for the purpose of hedging against declines in the value of the Fund’s assets that are denominated in a foreign currency.  The Fund may enter into foreign currency forward and foreign currency futures contracts to facilitate local securities settlements or to protect against currency exposure in connection with its distributions to shareholders, but may not enter into such contracts for speculative purposes.

A forward currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract.  A currency futures contract is a contract involving an obligation to deliver or acquire the specified amount of a specific currency, at a specified price and at a specified future time.  Futures contracts may be settled on a net cash payment basis rather than by the sale and delivery of the underlying currency.

Futures and Options. The Fund may utilize exchange-traded futures and options contracts and swap agreements.

Futures contracts generally provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified commodity at a specified future time and at a specified price. Index futures contracts are settled daily with a payment by one party to the other of a cash amount based on the difference between the level of the index specified in the contract from one day to the next. Futures contracts are standardized as to maturity date and underlying instrument and are traded on futures exchanges.

Futures traders are required to make a good faith margin deposit in cash or U.S. government securities with a broker or custodian to initiate and maintain open positions in futures contracts. A margin deposit is intended to assure completion of the contract (delivery or acceptance of the underlying commodity or payment of the cash settlement amount) if it is not terminated prior to the specified delivery date. Brokers may establish deposit requirements which are higher than the exchange minimums. Futures contracts are customarily purchased and sold on margin deposits which may range upward from less than 5% of the value of the contract being traded.

After a futures contract position is opened, the value of the contract is marked to market daily. If the futures contract price changes to the extent that the margin on deposit does not satisfy margin requirements, payment of additional "variation" margin will be required. Conversely, change in the contract value may reduce the required margin, resulting in a repayment of excess margin to the contract holder. Variation margin payments are made to and from the futures broker for as long as the contract remains open. In such case, the Fund would expect to earn interest income on its margin deposits. Closing out an open futures position is done by taking an opposite position ("buying" a contract which has

8

previously been "sold," or "selling" a contract previously "purchased") in an identical contract to terminate the position. Brokerage commissions are incurred when a futures contract position is opened or closed.

The Fund may use exchange-traded futures and options, together with positions in cash and money market instruments, to simulate full investment in its underlying index. Under such circumstances, the Investment Adviser and Investment Sub-Advisers may seek to utilize other instruments that they believe to be correlated to the underlying index components or a subset of the components. The Fund will not use such instruments for hedging purposes.

An option on a futures contract, as contrasted with the direct investment in such a contract, gives the purchaser the right, in return for the premium paid, to assume a position in the underlying futures contract at a specified exercise price at any time prior to the expiration date of the option. Upon exercise of an option, the delivery of the futures position by the writer of the option to the holder of the option will be accompanied by delivery of the accumulated balance in the writer's futures margin account that represents the amount by which the market price of the futures contract exceeds (in the case of a call) or is less than (in the case of a put) the exercise price of the option on the futures contract. The potential for loss related to the purchase of an option on a futures contract is limited to the premium paid for the option plus transaction costs. Because the value of the option is fixed at the point of purchase, there are no daily cash payments by the purchaser to reflect changes in the value of the underlying contract; however, the value of the option changes daily and that change would be reflected in the NAV of the Fund. The potential for loss related to writing call options on equity securities or indices is unlimited. The potential for loss related to writing put options is limited only by the aggregate strike price of the put option less the premium received.

The Fund may purchase and write put and call options on futures contracts that are traded on a U.S. exchange as a hedge against changes in value of its portfolio securities, or in anticipation of the purchase of securities, and may enter into closing transactions with respect to such options to terminate existing positions. There is no guarantee that such closing transactions can be effected.

Restrictions on the Use of Futures Contracts and Options on Futures Contracts. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has eliminated limitations on futures trading by certain regulated entities, including registered investment companies, and consequently registered investment companies may engage in unlimited futures transactions and options thereon provided that the investment adviser to the company claims an exclusion from regulation as a commodity pool operator. In connection with its management of the Trust, the Investment Adviser has claimed such an exclusion from registration as a commodity pool operator under the Commodity Exchange Act (the "CEA"). Therefore, it is not subject to the registration and regulatory requirements of the CEA. Therefore, there are no limitations on the extent to which the Fund may engage in non-hedging transactions involving futures and options thereon, except as set forth in the Fund’s Prospectus and this Statement of Additional Information.

Swap Agreements. Swap agreements are contracts between parties in which one party agrees to make periodic payments to the other party (the "Counterparty") based on the change in market value or level of a specified rate, index or asset. In return, the Counterparty agrees to make periodic payments to the first party based on the return of a different specified rate, index or asset. Swap agreements will usually be done on a net basis, the Fund receiving or paying only the net amount of the two payments. The net amount of the excess, if any, of the Fund's obligations over its entitlements with respect to each swap is accrued on a daily basis and an amount of cash or highly liquid securities having an aggregate value at least equal to the accrued excess is maintained in an account at the Trust's custodian bank.

9

The use of interest-rate and index swaps is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio security transactions. These transactions generally do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets or principal.

The use of swap agreements involves certain risks. For example, if the Counterparty under a swap agreement defaults on its obligation to make payments due from it, as a result of its bankruptcy or otherwise, the Fund may lose such payments altogether, or collect only a portion thereof, which collection could involve costs or delays. 

Ratings. An investment-grade rating means the security or issuer is rated investment-grade by Moody’s(R) Investors Service (“Moody’s”), Standard & Poor’s(R) (“S&P(R)”), Fitch Inc., Dominion Bond Rating Service Limited, or another credit rating agency designated as a nationally recognized statistical rating organization by the SEC, or is unrated but considered to be of equivalent quality by the Investment Adviser and Investment Sub-Advisers. Bonds rated Baa by Moody’s or BBB by S&P or above are considered “investment grade” securities; bonds rated Baa are considered medium grade obligations which lack outstanding investment characteristics and have speculative characteristics, while bonds rated BBB are regarded as having adequate capacity to pay principal and interest.

Subsequent to purchase by the Fund, a rated security may cease to be rated or its rating may be reduced below an investment grade rating. Bonds rated lower than Baa3 by Moody’s or BBB- by S&P are below investment grade quality and are obligations of issuers that are considered predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal according to the terms of the obligation and, therefore, carry greater investment risk, including the possibility of issuer default and bankruptcy and increased market price volatility. Such securities (“lower rated securities”) are commonly referred to as “junk bonds” and are subject to a substantial degree of credit risk. Lower rated securities are often issued by smaller, less creditworthy companies or by highly leveraged (indebted) firms, which are generally less able than more financially stable firms to make scheduled payments of interest and principal. The risks posed by securities issued under such circumstances are substantial. Bonds rated below investment grade tend to be less marketable than higher-quality bonds because the market for them is less broad. The market for unrated bonds is even narrower.

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS AND RISKS

A discussion of the risks associated with an investment in the Fund is contained in the Prospectus in the “Principal Investment Risks” and “Non-Principal Risk Considerations” sections.  The discussion below supplements, and should be read in conjunction with, the “Principal Investment Risks” section of the Prospectus.

An investment in the Fund should be made with an understanding that the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities may fluctuate in accordance with changes in the financial condition of the issuers of the portfolio securities, the value of fixed income securities in general and other factors that affect the market.

An investment in the Fund should also be made with an understanding of the risks inherent in an investment in fixed income securities, including the risk that the financial condition of issuers may become impaired or that the general condition of the bond market may deteriorate (either of which may cause a decrease in the value of the portfolio securities and thus in the value of Fund Shares).  Bonds are susceptible to general bond market fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value as market confidence and perceptions of their issuers change.  These investor perceptions are based on various and unpredictable factors, including expectations regarding government, economic, monetary and fiscal policies, inflation and interest rates, economic expansion or contraction, and global or regional political, economic or banking crises.

10

The existence of a liquid trading market for certain securities may depend on whether dealers will make a market in such securities.  There can be no assurance that a market will be made or maintained or that any such market will be or remain liquid.  The price at which securities may be sold and the value of the Fund’s Shares will be adversely affected if trading markets for the Fund’s portfolio securities are limited or absent, or if bid/ask spreads are wide.

The discussion below supplements, and should be read in conjunction with, the “Non-Principal Risk Considerations” section of the Prospectus.

Risks of Currency Transactions. Foreign exchange transactions involve a significant degree of  risk and the markets in which foreign exchange transactions are effected are highly volatile, highly specialized and highly technical. Significant changes, including changes in liquidity prices, can occur in such markets within very short periods of time, often within minutes. Foreign exchange trading risks include, but are not limited to, exchange rate risk, maturity gap, interest rate risk, and potential interference by foreign governments through regulation of local exchange markets, foreign investment or particular transactions in foreign currency. If the Fund utilizes foreign exchange transactions at an inappropriate time or judges market conditions, trends or correlations incorrectly, foreign exchange transactions may not serve their intended purpose of improving the correlation of the Fund's return with the performance of its underlying index and may lower the Fund's return. The Fund could experience losses if the value of its currency forwards, options and futures positions were poorly correlated with its other investments or if it could not close out its positions because of an illiquid market. In addition, the Fund could incur transaction costs, including trading commissions, in connection with certain foreign currency transactions.

Risks of Futures and Options Transactions. There are several risks accompanying the utilization of futures contracts and options on futures contracts. First, while the Fund plans to utilize futures contracts only if an active market exists for such contracts, there is no guarantee that a liquid market will exist for the contract at a specified time.

Furthermore, because, by definition, futures contracts project price levels in the future and not current levels of valuation, market circumstances may result in a discrepancy between the price of the index future and the movement in the underlying index. In the event of adverse price movements, the Fund would continue to be required to make daily cash payments to maintain its required margin. In such situations, if the Fund has insufficient cash, it may have to sell portfolio securities to meet daily margin requirements at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so. In addition, the Fund may be required to deliver the instruments underlying futures contracts it has sold.

The risk of loss in trading futures contracts or uncovered call options in some strategies (e.g., selling uncovered index futures contracts) is potentially unlimited. The Fund does not plan to use futures and options contracts in this way. The risk of a futures position may still be large as traditionally measured due to the low margin deposits required. In many cases, a relatively small price movement in a futures contract may result in immediate and substantial loss or gain to the investor relative to the size of a required margin deposit. The Fund, however, intends to utilize futures and options contracts in a manner designed to limit its risk exposure to levels comparable to direct investment in bonds.

Utilization of futures and options on futures by the Fund involves the risk of imperfect or even negative correlation to the underlying index if the index underlying the futures contract differs from the underlying index. There is also the risk of loss by the Fund of margin deposits in the event of bankruptcy of a broker with whom the Fund has an open position in the futures contract or option; however, this risk is substantially minimized because (a) of the regulatory requirement that the broker has to "segregate" customer funds from its corporate funds, and (b) in the case of regulated exchanges in the United States,

11

the clearing corporation stands behind the broker to make good losses in such a situation. The purchase of put or call options could be based upon predictions by the Investment Adviser and Investment Sub-Advisers as to anticipated trends, which predictions could prove to be incorrect and a part or all of the premium paid therefore could be lost.

Because the futures market imposes less burdensome margin requirements than the securities market, an increased amount of participation by speculators in the futures market could result in price fluctuations. Certain financial futures exchanges limit the amount of fluctuation permitted in futures contract prices during a single trading day. The daily limit establishes the maximum amount by which the price of a futures contract may vary either up or down from the previous day's settlement price at the end of a trading session. Once the daily limit has been reached in a particular type of contract, no trades may be made on that day at a price beyond that limit. It is possible that futures contract prices could move to the daily limit for several consecutive trading days with little or no trading, thereby preventing prompt liquidation of futures positions and subjecting the Fund to substantial losses. In the event of adverse price movements, the Fund would be required to make daily cash payments of variation margin.

Although the Fund intends to enter into futures contracts only if there is an active market for such contracts, there is no assurance that an active market will exist for the contracts at any particular time.

Risks of Swap Agreements. The risk of loss with respect to swaps generally is limited to the net amount of payments that the Fund is contractually obligated to make. Swap agreements are also subject to the risk that the swap counterparty will default on its obligations. If such a default were to occur, the Fund will have contractual remedies pursuant to the agreements related to the transaction. However, such remedies may be subject to bankruptcy and insolvency laws which could affect the Fund's rights as a creditor (e.g., the Fund may not receive the net amount of payments that it contractually is entitled to receive). The Fund, however, intends to utilize swaps in a manner designed to limit its risk exposure to levels comparable to direct investments in bonds.

Board Leadership Structure

The primary responsibility of the Board of Trustees is to represent the interests of the Fund and to provide oversight of the management of the Fund. The Fund’s day-to-day operations are managed by the Investment Adviser, the Investment Sub-Advisers and other service providers who have been approved by the Board. The Board is currently comprised of five Trustees, all of whom (including the chairman) are Independent Trustees. Generally, the Board acts by majority vote of all the Trustees, which includes a majority vote of the Independent Trustees.

The Board has appointed an Independent Chairperson, who presides at Board meetings and who is responsible for, among other things, participating in the planning of Board meetings, setting the tone of Board meetings and seeking to encourage open dialogue and independent inquiry among the trustees and management. The 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. The Board and its committees will meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the Fund’s activities, review contractual arrangements with service providers, review the Fund’s financial statements, oversee compliance with regulatory requirements, and review performance. The Independent Trustees are represented by independent legal counsel at Board and committee meetings. The Board has determined that this leadership structure, including an Independent Chairperson, a supermajority of Independent Trustees and committee membership limited to Independent Trustees, is appropriate in light of the characteristics and circumstances of the Trust.

Qualifications and Experience of Trustees and Nominees

The Trustees considered the educational, business and professional experience of each Board member and the service by each Trustee as a trustee of certain other Guggenheim funds. The Trustees were selected to serve and continue on the Board based upon their skills, experience, judgment, analytical ability, diligence, ability to work effectively with other Trustees, availability and commitment to attend meetings and perform the responsibilities of a Trustee and a demonstrated willingness to take an independent and questioning view of management. The Trustees also considered, among other factors, the particular attributes described below with respect to the various individual Board members.

Ronald E. Toupin, Jr. Mr. Toupin has served as a Trustee of the Trust and other funds in the Fund Complex since 2003. Through his service as a Trustee of the Trust and as chairman of the Board, and his professional training and employment experience, including Vice President and Portfolio Manager for Nuveen Asset Management, an asset management firm, Mr. Toupin is experienced in financial, regulatory and investment matters.

Each Trustee also now has considerable familiarity with the Trust, its adviser 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 certain funds in the Fund Complex.

Board's Role in Risk Oversight

Consistent with its responsibility for oversight of the Trust, the Board, among other things, will oversee risk management of the Fund's investment program and business affairs directly and through the committee structure it has established. The Board has established the Audit Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee to assist in its oversight functions, including its oversight of the risks the Fund faces. Each committee reports its activities to the Board on a regular basis. Risks to the Fund include, among others, investment risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, valuation risk and operational risk, as well as the overall business risk relating to the Fund. The Board has adopted, and will periodically review, policies, procedures and controls designed to address these different types of risks. Under the Board's supervision, the officers of the Trust, the Investment Adviser and other service providers to the Fund also has implemented a variety of processes, procedures and controls to address various risks. In addition, as part of the Board's periodic review of the Fund’s advisory and other service provider agreements, the Board may consider risk management aspects of the service providers' operations and the functions for which they are responsible.

The Board requires officers of the 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 receives reports from the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm on internal control and financial reporting matters. On at least a quarterly basis, the Board meets with the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer, including separate meetings with the Independent Trustees in executive session, to discuss compliance matters and, on at least an annual basis, receives a

18

report from the Chief Compliance Officer regarding the effectiveness of the Fund's compliance program. The Board, with the assistance of Trust management, reviews investment policies and risks in connection with its review of the Fund’s performance. In addition, the Board receives reports from the Investment Adviser on the investments and securities trading of the Fund. With respect to valuation, the Board oversees a pricing committee comprised of Trust officers and Investment Adviser personnel and has approved Fair Valuation procedures applicable to valuing the Fund’s securities, which the Board and the Audit Committee periodically review. The Board also requires the Investment Adviser to report to the Board on other matters relating to risk management on a regular and as-needed basis.

Role of Diversity in Considering Board Candidates

In considering Trustee nominee candidates, the Nominating and Governance Committee takes into account a wide variety of factors, including the overall diversity of the Board's composition. The Nominating and Governance Committee believes the Board generally benefits from diversity of background, experience and views among its members, and considers this a factor in evaluating the composition of the Board, but has not adopted any specific policy in this regard.

Board Committees

Messrs. Barnes, Friedrich, Karn, Nyberg and Toupin who are not "interested persons" of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act, serve on the Trust's Nominating and Governance Committee. The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for recommending qualified candidates to the Board in the event that a position is vacated or created. The Nominating and Governance Committee would consider recommendations by shareholders if a vacancy were to exist. Such recommendations should be forwarded to the Secretary of the Trust. The Trust does not have a standing compensation committee.

Messrs. Barnes, Friedrich, Karn, Nyberg and Toupin who are not "interested persons" of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act, serve on the Trust's Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is generally responsible for reviewing and evaluating issues related to the accounting and financial reporting policies and internal controls of the Trust and, as appropriate, the internal controls of certain service providers, overseeing the quality and objectivity of the Trust's financial statements and the audit thereof and acting as a liaison between the Board of Trustees and the Trust's independent registered public accounting firm.

Remuneration of Trustees and Officers

The Trust, together with Claymore Exchange-Traded Fund Trust, pays each Independent Trustee a fee of $35,000 per year, and also pays an annual fee of $4,500 to the independent chairperson of the Board of Trustees, an annual fee of $3,000 to the independent chairperson of the Audit Committee and an annual fee of $1,500 to the independent chairperson of the Nominating and Governance Committee. In addition, the Trust pays each Independent Trustee a fee of (a) $1,000 for each regular or special meeting of the Board of Trustees attended by such Trustee, (b) $1,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees for the organization of one or more new separate series of the Trust attended by such Trustee, and (c) $500 for each meeting of the Audit Committee or the Nominating and Governance Committee attended by such Trustee (in each case whether the meeting occurs and/or the Trustee attends in person or by telephone).

Officers who are employed by the Investment Adviser receive no compensation or expense reimbursements from the Trust.

The table below shows the estimated compensation that is contemplated to be paid to Trustees for the Fund’s fiscal year ended May 31, 2012, assuming a full fiscal year of operations for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012:

Name of Trustee	Aggregate Compensation From Trust	Pension or Retirement Benefits accrued as part of Fund Expenses	Total Compensation Paid From Fund Complex(1)
INDEPENDENT TRUSTEES
Randall C. Barnes	$23,625	N/A	$279,625
Roman Friedrich III	$18,875	N/A	$103,250
Robert B. Karn	$18,875	N/A	$117,625
Ronald A. Nyberg	$23,250	N/A	$355,688
Ronald E. Toupin, Jr.	$24,750	N/A	$302,250

(1)   The Fund Complex includes all open and closed-end funds (including all of their portfolios) advised by the Investment Adviser and any funds that have an investment adviser that is an affiliated person of the Investment Adviser. As of December 31, 2010, the Fund Complex consists of 26 separate portfolios of Claymore Exchange-Traded Fund Trust, 13 separate portfolios of Claymore Exchange-Traded Fund Trust 2 and 15 closed-end management investment companies.

The officers and Trustees of the Trust, in the aggregate, own less than 1% of the shares of the Fund.

As of the date hereof, no person owned 5% or more of the outstanding shares of the Fund.

Investment Adviser. The Investment Adviser manages the investment and reinvestment of the Fund’s assets and administers the affairs of the Fund to the extent requested by the Board of Trustees.

Investment Sub-Advisers.  The Investment Sub-Advisers assist the Investment Adviser with the investment and reinvestment of the Fund’s assets.

Portfolio Managers.  Stephen Chang and Shaw-Yann Ho, serve as portfolio managers for the Fund and are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's portfolio.

Other Accounts Managed by the Portfolio Managers.

As of July 31, 2011, Mr. Chang managed no registered investment companies, six pooled investment vehicles other than registered investment companies with a total of approximately $565 million in assets, and three other accounts with a total of approximately $339 million in assets.  None of these other accounts managed by Mr. Chang paid a performance-based fee.  Ms. Ho managed no other accounts.

The potential for conflicts of interest exists when portfolio managers manage other accounts with similar investment objectives and strategies as the Fund ("Similar Accounts"). Potential conflicts may include, for example, conflicts between investment strategies and conflicts in the allocation of investment opportunities.

20

Responsibility for managing the Fund and client portfolios is organized according to investment strategies within asset classes. Generally, client portfolios with similar strategies are managed by portfolio managers in the same portfolio management group using the same objectives, approach and philosophy. Underlying sectors or strategy allocations within a larger portfolio are likewise managed by portfolio managers who use the same approach and philosophy as similarly managed portfolios. Therefore, portfolio holdings, relative position sizes and industry and sector exposures tend to be similar across similar portfolios and strategies, which minimizes the potential for conflicts of interest.

JPMIM or JFIMI may receive more compensation with respect to certain Similar Accounts than that received with respect to the Fund or may receive compensation based in part on the performance of certain Similar Accounts. This may create a potential conflict of interest for JPMIM, JFIMI or the portfolio managers by providing an incentive to favor these Similar Accounts when, for example, placing securities transactions. In addition, JPMIM or JFIMI could be viewed as having a conflict of interest to the extent that JPMIM or JFIMI has a proprietary investment in Similar Accounts, the portfolio managers have personal investments in Similar Accounts or the Similar Accounts are investment options in JPMIM’s or JFIMI’s employee benefit plans. Potential conflicts of interest may arise with both the aggregation and allocation of securities transactions and allocation of investment opportunities because of market factors or investment restrictions imposed upon JPMIM and JFIMI by law, regulation, contract or internal policies. Allocations of aggregated trades, particularly trade orders that were only partially completed due to limited availability and allocation of investment opportunities generally, could raise a potential conflict of interest, as JPMIM or JFIMI may have an incentive to allocate securities that are expected to increase in value to favored accounts. Initial public offerings, in particular, are frequently of very limited availability.  JPMIM or JFIMI may be perceived as causing accounts they manage to participate in an offering to increase JPMIM’s or JFIMI’s overall allocation of securities in that offering. A potential conflict of interest also may be perceived to arise if transactions in one account closely follow related transactions in a different account, such as when a purchase increases the value of securities previously purchased by another account, or when a sale in one account lowers the sale price received in a sale by a second account. If JPMIM or JFIMI manages accounts that engage in short sales of securities of the type in which the Fund invests, JPMIM or JFIMI could be seen as harming the performance of the Fund for the benefit of the accounts engaging in short sales if the short sales cause the market value of the securities to fall.

As an internal policy matter, JPMIM and JFIMI may from time to time maintain certain overall investment limitations on the securities positions or positions in other financial instruments JPMIM and JFIMI will take on behalf of its various clients due to, among other things, liquidity concerns and regulatory restrictions. Such policies may preclude the Fund from purchasing particular securities or financial instruments, even if such securities or financial instruments would otherwise meet the Fund’s objectives.

The goal of JPMIM and JFIMI is to meet their fiduciary obligation with respect to all clients. JPMIM and JFIMI have policies and procedures that seek to manage conflicts. JPMIM and JFIMI monitor a variety of areas, including compliance with fund guidelines, review of allocation decisions and compliance with JPMIM’s and JFIMI’s Codes of Ethics and JPMorgan Chase and Co.’s Code of Conduct. With respect to the allocation of investment opportunities, JPMIM and JFIMI also have certain policies designed to achieve fair and equitable allocation of investment opportunities among its clients over time. For example:

Orders for the same equity security traded through a single trading desk or system are aggregated on a continual basis throughout each trading day consistent with JPMIM’s or JFIMI’s duty of best execution for its clients. If aggregated trades are fully executed, accounts participating in the trade will be allocated their pro rata share on an average price basis. Partially completed orders generally will be

21

allocated among the participating accounts on a pro-rata average price basis, subject to certain limited exceptions. For example, accounts that would receive a de minimis allocation relative to their size may be excluded from the order. Another exception may occur when thin markets or price volatility require that an aggregated order be completed in multiple executions over several days. If partial completion of the order would result in an uneconomic allocation to an account due to fixed transaction or custody costs, JPMIM or JFIMI may exclude small orders until 50% of the total order is completed. Then the small orders will be executed. Following this procedure, small orders will lag in the early execution of the order, but will be completed before completion of the total order.

Purchases of money market instruments and fixed income securities cannot always be allocated pro-rata across the accounts with the same investment strategy and objective. However, JPMIM or JFIMI attempts to mitigate any potential unfairness by basing non-pro rata allocations traded through a single trading desk or system upon objective predetermined criteria for the selection of investments and a disciplined process for allocating securities with similar duration, credit quality and liquidity in the good faith judgment of JPMIM or JFIMI so that fair and equitable allocation will occur over time.

Portfolio Manager Compensation.  JPMIM’s and JFIMI’s portfolio managers participate in a competitive compensation program that is designed to attract and retain outstanding people and closely link the performance of investment professionals to client investment objectives. The total compensation program includes a base salary fixed from year to year and a variable performance bonus consisting of cash incentives and restricted stock and, in some cases, mandatory deferred compensation. These elements reflect individual performance and the performance of JPMIM’s and JFIMI’s business as a whole.

Each portfolio manager's performance is formally evaluated annually based on a variety of factors including the aggregate size and blended performance of the portfolios such portfolio manager manages. Individual contribution relative to client goals carries the highest impact. Portfolio manager compensation is primarily driven by meeting or exceeding clients' risk and return objectives, relative performance to competitors or competitive indices and compliance with firm policies and regulatory requirements. In evaluating each portfolio manager's performance with respect to the mutual funds he or she manages, the funds' pre-tax performance is compared to the appropriate market peer group and to each fund's benchmark index listed in the fund's prospectus over one, three and five year periods (or such shorter time as the portfolio manager has managed the fund). Investment performance is generally more heavily weighted to the long term.

Awards of restricted stock are granted as part of an employee’s annual performance bonus and comprise from 0% to 40% of a portfolio manager’s total bonus. As the level of incentive compensation increases, the percentage of compensation awarded in restricted stock also increases.  Up to 50% of the restricted stock portion of a portfolio manager’s bonus may instead be subject to a mandatory notional investment in selected mutual funds advised by JPMIM or JFIMI.  When these deferred amounts vest, the portfolio manager receives cash equal to the market value of the notional investment in the selected mutual funds.

Securities Ownership of the Portfolio Managers.  The portfolio managers do not own shares of the Fund.

Investment Advisory Agreement.  Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement between the Investment Adviser and the Trust, the Investment Adviser is responsible for all expenses of the Fund, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except interest expenses, distribution fees or expenses, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, and extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business.  For the Investment Adviser’s

22

services to the Fund, the Fund has agreed to pay an annual management fee equal to a percentage of its average daily net assets set forth in the chart below:

Fund	Fee
Guggenheim Yuan Bond ETF	0.65% of average daily net assets

Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Investment Adviser will not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Fund in connection with the performance of the Investment Advisory Agreement, except a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Investment Adviser in the performance of its duties or from reckless disregard of its duties and obligations thereunder.  The Investment Advisory Agreement continues until May 10, 2013, and thereafter only if approved annually by the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees.  The Agreement terminates automatically upon assignment and is terminable at any time without penalty as to the Fund by the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, or by vote of the holders of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities on 60 days written notice to the Investment Adviser, or by the Investment Adviser on 60 days written notice to the Fund.

23

Distributor.  Guggenheim Funds Distributors, Inc. (“Guggenheim Funds Distributors”) is the distributor of the Fund’s Shares (in such capacity, the “Distributor”).  Its principal address is 2455 Corporate West Drive, Lisle, Illinois 60532.  The Distributor has entered into a Distribution Agreement with the Trust pursuant to which it distributes Fund Shares.  Shares are continuously offered for sale by the Fund through the Distributor only in Creation Unit Aggregations, as described in the Prospectus and below under the heading “Creation and Redemption of Creation Unit Aggregations.”

12b-1 Plan.  The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “Plan”) pursuant to which the Fund may reimburse the Distributor up to a maximum annual rate of the percentage of its average daily net assets as set forth in the chart below.

Fund	Fee
Guggenheim Yuan Bond ETF	0.25% of average daily net assets

The Trust may pay a monthly fee not to exceed 0.25% per annum of the Fund's average daily net assets to reimburse the Distributor for actual amounts expended to finance any activity primarily intended to result in the sale of Creation Units of the Fund or the provision of investor services, including but not limited to (i) delivering copies of the Trust's then-current prospectus to prospective purchasers of such Creation Units; (ii) marketing and promotional services including advertising; (iii) facilitating communications with beneficial owners of shares of the Fund; and (iv) such other services and obligations as are set forth in the Distribution Agreement. Distribution expenses incurred in any one year in excess of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets may be reimbursed in subsequent years subject to the annual 0.25% limit and subject further to the approval of the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees. The Distributor may use all or any portion of the amount received pursuant to the Plan to compensate securities dealers or other persons that are Authorized Participants for providing distribution assistance, including broker-dealer and shareholder support and educational and promotional services, pursuant to agreements with the Distributor, or to pay any of the expenses associated with other activities authorized under the Plan.

The Plan shall, unless terminated as set forth below, remain in effect with respect to the Fund provided that its continuance is specifically approved at least annually by a vote of both a majority of the Trustees and a majority of the Independent Trustees, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the Plan. The Plan may be terminated at any time, without payment of any penalty, by vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees, or by vote of a

24

majority of the outstanding voting securities (as such term is defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund. In the event of termination or non-continuance of the Plan, the Trust may reimburse any expense which it incurred prior to such termination or non-continuance, provided that such reimbursement is specifically approved by both a majority of the Board of Trustees and a majority of the Independent Trustees.

Under the Plan and as required by Rule 12b-1, the Trustees will receive and review after the end of each calendar quarter a written report provided by the Distributor of the amounts expended under the Plan and the purpose for which such expenditures were made.

The Plan was adopted in order to permit the implementation of the Fund’s method of distribution.  However, no such fee is currently charged to the Fund, and there are no plans in place to impose such a fee.  In addition the Board of Trustees has adopted a resolution that no such fee will be paid during the first 12 months of the Fund’s operations.

Financial Intermediary Compensation. The Investment Adviser and/or its subsidiaries or affiliates ("Guggenheim Entities") may pay certain broker-dealers, banks and other financial intermediaries ("Intermediaries") for certain activities related to the Fund or other Guggenheim funds ("Payments"). Any Payments made by Guggenheim Entities will be made from their own assets and not from the assets of the Fund. Although a portion of Guggenheim Entities' revenue comes directly or indirectly in part from fees paid by the Fund and other Guggenheim funds, Payments do not increase the price paid by investors for the purchase of shares of, or the cost of owning, the Fund or other Guggenheim funds. Guggenheim Entities may make Payments for Intermediaries' participating in activities that are designed to make registered representatives, other professionals and individual investors more knowledgeable about the Fund or for other activities, such as participation in marketing activities and presentations, educational training programs, the support of technology platforms and/or reporting systems ("Education Costs"). Guggenheim Entities may also make Payments to Intermediaries for certain printing, publishing and mailing costs associated with the Fund or materials relating to exchange-traded funds in general ("Publishing Costs"). In addition, Guggenheim Entities may make Payments to Intermediaries that make shares of the Fund and certain other Guggenheim funds available to their clients or for otherwise promoting the Fund and other Guggenheim funds. Payments of this type are sometimes referred to as revenue-sharing payments.

Payments to an Intermediary may be significant to the Intermediary, and amounts that Intermediaries pay to your salesperson or other investment professional may also be significant for your salesperson or other investment professional. Because an Intermediary may make decisions about which investment options it will recommend or make available to its clients or what services to provide for various products based on payments it receives or is eligible to receive, Payments create conflicts of interest between the Intermediary and its clients and these financial incentives may cause the Intermediary to recommend the Fund and other Guggenheim funds over other investments. The same conflict of interest exists with respect to your salesperson or other investment professional if he or she receives similar payments from his or her Intermediary firm.

Guggenheim Entities may determine to make Payments based on any number of metrics. For example, Guggenheim Entities may make Payments at year-end or other intervals in a fixed amount, an amount based upon an Intermediary's services at defined levels or an amount based on the Intermediary's net sales of one or more Guggenheim funds in a year or other period, any of which arrangements may include an agreed-upon minimum or maximum payment, or any combination of the foregoing. As of the date of this SAI, Guggenheim anticipates that the Payments paid by Guggenheim Entities in connection with the Fund and other Guggenheim funds will be immaterial to Guggenheim Entities in the aggregate for the next year. Please contact your salesperson or other investment professional for more information

25

regarding any Payments his or her Intermediary firm may receive. Any payments made by the Guggenheim Entities to an Intermediary may create the incentive for an Intermediary to encourage customers to buy shares of Guggenheim funds.

Aggregations.  Fund Shares in less than Creation Unit Aggregations are not distributed by the Distributor.  The Distributor will deliver the Prospectus and, upon request, this SAI to persons purchasing Creation Unit Aggregations and will maintain records of both orders placed with it and confirmations of acceptance furnished by it.  The Distributor is a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).

The Distribution Agreement for the Fund provides that it may be terminated as to the Fund at any time, without the payment of any penalty, on at least 60 days written notice by the Trust to the Distributor (i) by vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees or (ii) by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund.  The Distribution Agreement will terminate automatically in the event of its assignment (as defined in the 1940 Act).

The Distributor may also enter into agreements with securities dealers (“Soliciting Dealers”) who will solicit purchases of Creation Unit Aggregations of Fund Shares.  Such Soliciting Dealers may also be Participating Parties (as defined in “Procedures for Creation of Creation Unit Aggregations” below) and DTC Participants (as defined in “DTC Acts as Securities Depository” below).

Index Provider.  Set forth below is the Fund and the underlying index upon which it is based.  The underlying index for the Fund is compiled by AlphaShares, LLC (“AlphaShares” or the “Index Provider”).

Fund	Underlying Index
Guggenheim Yuan Bond ETF	AlphaShares China Yuan Bond Index

AlphaShares is not affiliated with the Fund or with the Investment Adviser.  The Fund is entitled to use its underlying index pursuant to a sub-licensing arrangement with the Investment Adviser, which in turn has a licensing agreement with the Index Provider.  The Fund reimburses the Investment Adviser for the licensing fee payable to the Index Provider.

The only relationship that AlphaShares has with the Investment Adviser or Distributor of the Fund in connection with the Fund is that AlphaShares has licensed certain of its intellectual property, including the determination of the component securities of the underlying index and the name of the underlying index.  The Index is selected and calculated without regard to the Investment Adviser, Distributor or owners of the Fund.  AlphaShares has no obligation to take the specific needs of the Investment Adviser, Distributor or owners of the Fund into consideration in the determination and calculation of the Index.  AlphaShares is not responsible for and has not participated in the determination of pricing or the timing of the issuance or sale of the Shares of the Fund or in the determination or calculation of the net asset value of the Fund.  AlphaShares has no obligation or liability in connection with the administration, marketing or trading of the Fund.

AlphaShares makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, regarding the advisability of investing in securities generally or in the Fund particularly or the ability of the Index to track general market performance. AlphaShares’ only relationship to the Investment Adviser is the licensing of certain trademarks and trade names of AlphaShares and of the Index, which is determined, composed and calculated by AlphaShares without regard to Investment Adviser or the Fund.

AlphaShares shall not be liable to any person for any error in the Index nor shall it be under any obligation to advise any person of any error therein.

BROKERAGE TRANSACTIONS

The policy of the Trust regarding purchases and sales of securities is that primary consideration will be given to obtaining the most favorable prices and efficient executions of transactions.  Consistent with this policy, when securities transactions are effected on a stock exchange, the Trust’s policy is to pay commissions that are considered fair and reasonable without necessarily determining that the lowest possible commissions are paid in all circumstances.  In seeking to determine the reasonableness of brokerage commissions paid in any transaction, the Investment Adviser and Investment Sub-Advisers rely upon their experience and knowledge regarding commissions generally charged by various brokers.  The sale of Fund Shares by a broker-dealer is not a factor in the selection of broker-dealers.

In seeking to implement the Trust’s policies, the Investment Adviser and Investment Sub-Advisers effect transactions with those brokers and dealers that the Investment Adviser and Investment Sub-Advisers believe provide the most favorable prices and are capable of providing efficient executions.  The Investment Adviser, Investment Sub-Advisers and their affiliates do not currently participate in soft dollar transactions.

The Investment Adviser and Investment Sub-Advisers assume general supervision over placing orders on behalf of the Fund for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities.  If purchases or sales of portfolio securities by the Fund and one or more other investment companies or clients supervised by the Investment Adviser and Investment Sub-Advisers are considered at or about the same time, transactions in such securities are allocated among the Fund, the several investment companies and clients in a manner deemed equitable to all by the Investment Adviser and Investment Sub-Advisers.  In some cases, this procedure could have a detrimental effect on the price or volume of the security as far as the Fund is concerned.  However, in other cases, it is possible that the ability to participate in volume transactions and to negotiate lower brokerage commissions will be beneficial to the Fund.  The primary consideration is prompt execution of orders at the most favorable net price.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING THE TRUST

The Trust is an open-end management investment company registered under the 1940 Act.  The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 8, 2006.

The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares in one or more series or “funds.”  The Trust currently is comprised of 18 funds.  The Board of Trustees of the Trust has the right to establish additional series in the future, to determine the preferences, voting powers, rights and privileges thereof and to modify such preferences, voting powers, rights and privileges without shareholder approval.

27

Each Share issued by the Fund has a pro rata interest in the assets of that Fund.  Fund Shares have no preemptive, exchange, subscription or conversion rights and are freely transferable.  Each Share is entitled to participate equally in dividends and distributions declared by the Board with respect to the Fund, and in the net distributable assets of the Fund on liquidation.  The Trustees may at any time, by majority vote and without shareholder approval, cause the Fund to redeem all of its Shares and liquidate.

Each Share has one vote with respect to matters upon which a shareholder vote is required consistent with the requirements of the 1940 Act and the rules promulgated thereunder.  Shares of all funds, including the Fund, of the Trust vote together as a single class except as otherwise required by the 1940 Act, or if the matter being voted on affects only a particular fund, and, if a matter affects a particular fund differently from other funds, the shares of that fund will vote separately on such matter.

The Declaration of Trust may, except in limited circumstances, be amended or supplemented by the Trustees without shareholder vote.  The holders of Fund Shares are required to disclose information on direct or indirect ownership of Fund Shares as may be required to comply with various laws applicable to the Fund, and ownership of Fund Shares may be disclosed by the Fund if so required by law or regulation.

The Trust is not required and does not intend to hold annual meetings of shareholders.  Shareholders owning more than 51% of the outstanding shares of the Trust have the right to call a special meeting to remove one or more Trustees or for any other purpose.

The Trust does not have information concerning the beneficial ownership of Shares held by DTC Participants (as defined below).

Shareholders may make inquiries by writing to the Trust, c/o the Distributor, 2455 Corporate West Drive, Lisle, Illinois 60532.

Control Persons.  No single person beneficially owns 25% or more of the Fund’s voting securities.

Book Entry Only System.  The following information supplements and should be read in conjunction with the section in the Prospectus entitled “Book Entry.”

DTC Acts as Securities Depository for Fund Shares.  Shares of the Fund are represented by securities registered in the name of DTC or its nominee and deposited with, or on behalf of, DTC.

DTC, a limited-purpose trust company, was created to hold securities of its participants (the “DTC Participants”) and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions among the DTC Participants in such securities through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of the DTC Participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates.  DTC Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations, some of whom (and/or their representatives) own DTC.  More specifically, DTC is owned by a number of its DTC Participants and by the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), the NYSE Arca and FINRA.  Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a DTC Participant, either directly or indirectly (the “Indirect Participants”).

Beneficial ownership of Shares is limited to DTC Participants, Indirect Participants and persons holding interests through DTC Participants and Indirect Participants.  Ownership of beneficial interests in Shares (owners of such beneficial interests are referred to herein as “Beneficial Owners”) is shown on,

28

and the transfer of ownership is effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to DTC Participants) and on the records of DTC Participants (with respect to Indirect Participants and Beneficial Owners that are not DTC Participants).  Beneficial Owners will receive from or through the DTC Participant a written confirmation relating to their purchase and sale of Shares.

Conveyance of all notices, statements and other communications to Beneficial Owners is effected as follows.  Pursuant to the Depositary Agreement between the Trust and DTC, DTC is required to make available to the Trust upon request and for a fee to be charged to the Trust a listing of the Shares of the Fund held by each DTC Participant.  The Trust shall inquire of each such DTC Participant as to the number of Beneficial Owners holding Shares, directly or indirectly, through such DTC Participant.  The Trust shall provide each such DTC Participant with copies of such notice, statement or other communication, in such form, number and at such place as such DTC Participant may reasonably request, in order that such notice, statement or communication may be transmitted by such DTC Participant, directly or indirectly, to such Beneficial Owners.  In addition, the Trust shall pay to each such DTC Participant a fair and reasonable amount as reimbursement for the expenses attendant to such transmittal, all subject to applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.

Fund distributions shall be made to DTC or its nominee, Cede & Co., as the registered holder of all Fund Shares.  DTC or its nominee, upon receipt of any such distributions, shall immediately credit DTC Participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in Shares of the Fund as shown on the records of DTC or its nominee.  Payments by DTC Participants to Indirect Participants and Beneficial Owners of Shares held through such DTC Participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in a “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such DTC Participants.

The Trust has no responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or notices to Beneficial Owners, or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in such Shares, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests, or for any other aspect of the relationship between DTC and the DTC Participants or the relationship between such DTC Participants and the Indirect Participants and Beneficial Owners owning through such DTC Participants.

DTC may decide to discontinue providing its service with respect to Shares at any time by giving reasonable notice to the Trust and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law.  Under such circumstances, the Trust shall take action to find a replacement for DTC to perform its functions at a comparable cost.

Proxy Voting. The Board of Trustees of the Trust has delegated responsibility for decisions regarding proxy voting for securities held by the Fund to the Investment Adviser.  The Investment Adviser engages a third-party proxy service, such as Institutional Shareholder Services or a similar service, to vote all proxies on behalf of the Fund. The Investment Adviser periodically reviews the proxy voting results to ensure that proxies are voted in accordance with the service’s guidelines and that proxies are voted in a timely fashion. To avoid any conflicts of interest, the Investment Adviser does not have authority to override the recommendations of the third party service provider, except upon the written authorization of the client directing the Investment Adviser to vote in a specific manner. All overrides shall be approved by the Chief Compliance Officer.

To the extent that the third party service provider seeks the Investment Adviser’s direction on how to vote on any particular matter, the Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Financial Officer shall

29

determine whether any potential conflict of interest is present. If a potential conflict of interest is present, the Investment Adviser shall seek instructions from clients on how to vote that particular item.

The Trust is required to disclose annually the Fund’s complete proxy voting record on Form N-PX covering the period July 1 through June 30 and file it with the SEC no later than August 31.  Form N-PX for the Fund also will be available at no charge upon request by calling 1-800-345-7999 or by writing to Claymore Exchange-Traded Fund Trust 2 at 2455 Corporate West Drive, Lisle, IL 60532.  The Fund’s Form N-PX will also be available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Quarterly Portfolio Schedule.  The Trust is required to disclose, after its first and third fiscal quarters, the complete schedule of the Fund’s portfolio holdings with the SEC on Form N-Q.  The Trust will also disclose a complete schedule of the Fund’s portfolio holdings with the SEC on Form N-CSR after its second and fourth quarters.  Form N-Q and Form N-CSR for the Fund will be available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.  The Fund’s Form N-Q and Form N-CSR may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. and information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-202-551-8090.  The Fund’s Form N-Q and Form N-CSR will be available without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-345-7999 or by writing to Claymore Exchange-Traded Fund Trust 2 at 2455 Corporate West Drive, Lisle, IL 60532.

Portfolio Holdings Policy.  The Trust has adopted a policy regarding the disclosure of information about the Trust’s portfolio holdings.  The Fund and its service providers may not receive compensation or any other consideration (which includes any agreement to maintain assets in the Fund or in other investment companies or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser or any affiliated person of the Investment Adviser) in connection with the disclosure of portfolio holdings information of the Fund. The Trust’s Policy is implemented and overseen by the Chief Compliance Officer of the Fund, subject to the oversight of the Board of Trustees. Periodic reports regarding these procedures will be provided to the Board of Trustees of the Trust.  The Board of Trustees of the Trust must approve all material amendments to this policy.  The Fund’s complete portfolio holdings are publicly disseminated each day the Fund is open for business through financial reporting and news services, including publicly accessible Internet web sites.  In addition, a basket composition file, which includes the security names and share quantities to deliver in exchange for Fund shares, together with estimates and actual cash components, is publicly disseminated daily prior to the opening of the NYSE Arca via the National Securities Clearing Corporation (“NSCC”).  The basket represents one Creation Unit of the Fund.  The Trust, the Investment Adviser and the Distributor will not disseminate non-public information concerning the Trust.

Codes of Ethics.  Pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act, the Board of Trustees has adopted a Code of Ethics for the Trust and approved Codes of Ethics adopted by the Investment Adviser and the Distributor (collectively the “Codes”).  The Codes are intended to ensure that the interests of shareholders and other clients are placed ahead of any personal interest, that no undue personal benefit is obtained from the person’s employment activities and that actual and potential conflicts of interest are avoided.

The Codes apply to the personal investing activities of Trustees and officers of the Trust, the Investment Adviser and the Distributor(“Access Persons”).  Rule 17j-1 and the Codes are designed to prevent unlawful practices in connection with the purchase or sale of securities by Access Persons.  Under the Codes, Access Persons are permitted to engage in personal securities transactions, but are required to report their personal securities transactions for monitoring purposes.  The Codes permit personnel subject to the Codes to invest in securities subject to certain limitations, including securities that may be purchased or held by the Fund.  In addition, certain Access Persons are required to obtain approval before investing in initial public offerings or private placements.  The Codes are on file with the SEC, and are available to the public.

CREATION AND REDEMPTION OF CREATION UNIT AGGREGATIONS

Creation.  The Trust issues and sells Shares of the Fund only in Creation Unit Aggregations on a continuous basis through the Distributor, without a sales load, at its NAV next determined after receipt, on any Business Day (as defined below), of an order in proper form.

A “Business Day” is any day on which the NYSE is open for business.  As of the date of this SAI, the NYSE observes the following holidays:  New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Washington’s Birthday, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

Deposit of Securities and Deposit or Delivery of Cash.  The consideration for purchase of Creation Unit Aggregations of the Fund generally consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of fixed income securities — the “Deposit Securities” — (and/or an amount of cash in lieu of some or all of the Deposit Securities) per each Creation Unit Aggregation constituting a substantial replication, or representation, of the securities included in the Index (“Fund Securities”) and an amount of cash — the “Cash Component” — computed as described below.  Together, the Deposit Securities (and/or an amount of cash in lieu of some or all of the Deposit Securities) and the Cash Component constitute the “Fund Deposit,” which represents the minimum initial and subsequent investment amount for a Creation Unit Aggregation of the Fund.

The Cash Component. The Cash Component is sometimes also referred to as the Balancing Amount.  The Cash Component serves the function of compensating for any differences between the NAV per Creation Unit Aggregation and the Deposit Amount (as defined below).  The Cash Component is an amount equal to the difference between the NAV of the Fund Shares (per Creation Unit Aggregation) and the “Deposit Amount” — an amount equal to the market value of the Deposit Securities.  If the Cash Component is a positive number (i.e., the NAV per Creation Unit Aggregation exceeds the Deposit Amount), the creator will deliver the Cash Component.  If the Cash Component is a negative number (i.e., the NAV per Creation Unit Aggregation is less than the Deposit Amount), the creator will receive the Cash Component.

The Custodian, through the National Securities Clearing Corporation (“NSCC”) (discussed below), makes available on each Business Day, prior to the opening of business on the NYSE Arca (currently 9:30 a.m., Eastern time), the list of the names and the required number of shares of each Deposit Security to be included in the current Fund Deposit (based on information at the end of the previous Business Day) for the Fund.

Such Fund Deposit is applicable, subject to any adjustments as described below, in order to effect creations of Creation Unit Aggregations of the Fund until such time as the next-announced composition of the Deposit Securities is made available.

The identity and number of shares of the Deposit Securities required for the Fund Deposit for the Fund changes as rebalancing adjustments and corporate action events are reflected within the Fund from time to time by the Investment Adviser with a view to the investment objective of the Fund.  The composition of the Deposit Securities may also change in response to adjustments to the weighting or composition of the Component Securities of the Index.  In addition, the Trust reserves the right to permit or require the substitution of an amount of cash — i.e., a “cash in lieu” amount — to be added to the Cash Component to replace any Deposit Security that may not be available in sufficient quantity for delivery or that may not be eligible for transfer through the systems of DTC, or which might not be eligible for trading by an Authorized Participant (as defined below) or the investor for which it is acting or other relevant reason.  Brokerage commissions incurred in connection with the acquisition of Deposit Securities

31

not eligible for transfer through the systems of DTC will be at the expense of the Fund and will affect the value of all Shares; but the Investment Adviser, subject to the approval of the Board of Trustees, may adjust the transaction fee within the parameters described above to protect ongoing shareholders.  The adjustments described above will reflect changes known to the Investment Adviser on the date of announcement to be in effect by the time of delivery of the Fund Deposit, in the composition of the Index or resulting from certain corporate actions.

In addition to the list of names and numbers of securities constituting the current Deposit Securities of a Fund Deposit, the Custodian, through the NSCC, also makes available on each Business Day, the estimated Cash Component, effective through and including the previous Business Day, per outstanding Creation Unit Aggregation of the Fund.

Procedures for Creation of Creation Unit Aggregations.  To be eligible to place orders with the Distributor and to create a Creation Unit Aggregation of the Fund, an entity must be a DTC Participant (see the Book Entry Only System section), and, in each case, must have executed an agreement with the Distributor, with respect to creations and redemptions of Creation Unit Aggregations (“Participant Agreement”) (discussed below).  A DTC Participant is also referred to as an “Authorized Participant.” Investors should contact the Distributor for the names of Authorized Participants that have signed a Participant Agreement.  All Fund Shares, however created, will be entered on the records of DTC in the name of Cede & Co. for the account of a DTC Participant.

All orders to create Creation Unit Aggregations, (through an Authorized Participant), must be received by the Distributor no later than the closing time of the regular trading session on the NYSE Arca (“Closing Time”) (ordinarily 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) in each case on the date such order is placed in order for creation of Creation Unit Aggregations to be effected based on the NAV of Shares of the Fund as next determined on such date after receipt of the order in proper form.  In the case of custom orders placed by an Authorized Participant in the event that the Trust permits the substitution of an amount of cash to be added to the Cash Component to replace any Deposit Security which may not be available in sufficient quantity for delivery or which may not be eligible for trading by such Authorized Participant or the investor for which it is acting or other relevant reason, the order must be received by the Distributor no later than 3:00 p.m.  Eastern time on the trade date.  A custom order placed by an Authorized Participant must be received no later than 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the trade date in the event that the Trust requires the substitution of an amount of cash to be added to the Cash Component to replace any Deposit Security which may not be available in sufficient quantity for delivery or which may not be eligible for trading by such Authorized Participant or the investor for which it is acting or other relevant reason.  The date on which an order to create Creation Unit Aggregations (or an order to redeem Creation Unit Aggregations, as discussed below) is placed is referred to as the “Transmittal Date.” Orders must be transmitted by an Authorized Participant by telephone or other transmission method acceptable to the Distributor pursuant to procedures set forth in the Participant Agreement, as described below (see the “Placement of Creation Orders” section).  Severe economic or market disruptions or changes, or telephone or other communication failure may impede the ability to reach the Distributor or an Authorized Participant.

All orders from investors who are not Authorized Participants to create Creation Unit Aggregations shall be placed with an Authorized Participant, as applicable, in the form required by such Authorized Participant.  In addition, the Authorized Participant may request the investor to make certain representations or enter into agreements with respect to the order, e.g., to provide for payments of cash, when required.  Investors should be aware that their particular broker may not have executed a Participant Agreement and that, therefore, orders to create Creation Unit Aggregations of the Fund have to be placed by the investor’s broker through an Authorized Participant that has executed a Participant Agreement.  In such cases there may be additional charges to such investor.  At any given time, there may be only a limited number of broker-dealers that have executed a Participant Agreement.  Those placing orders for

32

Creation Unit Aggregations should afford sufficient time to permit proper submission of the order to the Distributor prior to the Closing Time on the Transmittal Date.

Orders for Creation Unit Aggregations.  Those placing orders should ascertain the deadlines applicable to DTC and the Federal Reserve Bank wire system by contacting the operations department of the broker or depository institution effectuating such transfer of Deposit Securities and Cash Component.

Placement of Creation Orders.  For the Fund, the Custodian shall cause the sub-custodian of the Fund to maintain an account into which the Authorized Participant shall deliver, on behalf of itself or the party on whose behalf it is acting, the securities included in the designated Fund Deposit (or the cash value of all or part of such of such securities, in the case of a permitted or required cash purchase or “cash in lieu” amount), with any appropriate adjustments as advised by the Trust.  Deposit Securities must be delivered to an account maintained at the applicable local sub-custodian(s).  Orders to purchase Creation Unit Aggregations must be received by the Distributor from an Authorized Participant on its own or another investor’s behalf by the closing time of the regular trading session on the NYSE Arca on the relevant Business Day in order for creation of Creation Unit Aggregations to be effected based on the NAV of Shares of the Fund as next determined on such date.  However, when a relevant local market is closed due to local market holidays, the local market settlement process will not commence until the end of the local holiday period.  Settlement must occur by 2:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the contractual settlement date.

The Authorized Participant must also make available no later than 2:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the contractual settlement date, by means satisfactory to the Trust, immediately-available or same-day funds estimated by the Trust to be sufficient to pay the Cash Component next determined after acceptance of the purchase order, together with the applicable purchase transaction fee.  Any excess funds will be returned following settlement of the issue of the Creation Unit Aggregation.

To the extent contemplated by the applicable Participant Agreement, Creation Unit Aggregations of the Fund will be issued to such Authorized Participant notwithstanding the fact that the corresponding Fund Deposits have not been received in part or in whole, in reliance on the undertaking of the Authorized Participant to deliver the missing Deposit Securities as soon as possible, which undertaking shall be secured by such Authorized Participant’s delivery and maintenance of collateral consisting of cash in the form of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds having a value (marked to market daily) at least equal to 115%, which the Investment Adviser may change from time to time of the value of the missing Deposit Securities.  Such cash collateral must be delivered no later than 2:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the contractual settlement date.  The Participant Agreement will permit the Fund to buy the missing Deposit Securities at any time and will subject the Authorized Participant to liability for any shortfall between the cost to the Trust of purchasing such securities and the value of the collateral.

Creation Unit Aggregations may be created in advance of receipt by the Trust of all or a portion of the applicable Deposit Securities as described below.  In these circumstances, the initial deposit will have a value greater than the NAV of the Fund Shares on the date the order is placed in proper form since, in addition to available Deposit Securities, cash must be deposited in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Cash Component, plus (ii) 115% of the market value of the undelivered Deposit Securities (the “Additional Cash Deposit”).  The order shall be deemed to be received on the Business Day on which the order is placed provided that the order is placed in proper form prior to 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, on such date, and federal funds in the appropriate amount are deposited with the Custodian by 11:00 a.m., Eastern time, the following Business Day.  If the order is not placed in proper form by 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, or federal funds in the appropriate amount are not received by 11:00 a.m., Eastern time, the next Business Day, then the order may be deemed to be canceled and the Authorized Participant shall be liable to the Fund for losses, if any, resulting therefrom.  An additional amount of cash shall be required to be deposited with the Trust, pending delivery of the missing Deposit Securities to the extent necessary to

33

maintain the Additional Cash Deposit with the Trust in an amount at least equal to 115% of the daily marked to market value of the missing Deposit Securities.  To the extent that missing Deposit Securities are not received by 1:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the third Business Day following the day on which the purchase order is deemed received by the Distributor or in the event a marked-to-market payment is not made within one Business Day following notification by the Distributor that such a payment is required, the Trust may use the cash on deposit to purchase the missing Deposit Securities.  Authorized Participants will be liable to the Trust and the Fund for the costs incurred by the Trust in connection with any such purchases.  These costs will be deemed to include the amount by which the actual purchase price of the Deposit Securities exceeds the market value of such Deposit Securities on the day the purchase order was deemed received by the Distributor plus the brokerage and related transaction costs associated with such purchases.  The Trust will return any unused portion of the Additional Cash Deposit once all of the missing Deposit Securities have been properly received by the Custodian or purchased by the Trust and deposited into the Trust.  In addition, a transaction fee, as listed below, will be charged in all cases.  The delivery of Creation Unit Aggregations so created will occur no later than the third Business Day following the day on which the purchase order is deemed received by the Distributor.

Acceptance of Orders for Creation Unit Aggregations.  The Trust reserves the absolute right to reject a creation order transmitted to it by the Distributor in respect of the Fund if:  (i) the order is not in proper form; (ii) the investor(s), upon obtaining the Fund Shares ordered, would own 80% or more of the currently outstanding shares of the Fund; (iii) the Deposit Securities delivered are not as disseminated for that date by the Custodian, as described above; (iv) acceptance of the Deposit Securities would have certain adverse tax consequences to the Fund; (v) acceptance of the Fund Deposit would, in the opinion of counsel, be unlawful; (vi) acceptance of the Fund Deposit would otherwise, in the discretion of the Trust or the Investment Adviser, have an adverse effect on the Trust or the rights of beneficial owners; or (vii) in the event that circumstances outside the control of the Trust, the Custodian, the Distributor and the Investment Adviser make it for all practical purposes impossible to process creation orders.  Examples of such circumstances include acts of God; public service or utility problems such as fires, floods, extreme weather conditions and power outages resulting in telephone, telecopy and computer failures; market conditions or activities causing trading halts; systems failures involving computer or other information systems affecting the Trust, the Investment Adviser, the Distributor, the Custodian or sub-custodian or any other participant in the creation process, and similar extraordinary events.  The Distributor shall notify a prospective creator of a Creation Unit and/or the Authorized Participant acting on behalf of such prospective creator of its rejection of the order of such person.  The Trust, the Custodian, any sub-custodian and the Distributor are under no duty, however, to give notification of any defects or irregularities in the delivery of Fund Deposits nor shall any of them incur any liability for the failure to give any such notification.

All questions as to the number of shares of each security in the Deposit Securities and the validity, form, eligibility, and acceptance for deposit of any securities to be delivered shall be determined by the Trust, and the Trust’s determination shall be final and binding.

Creation Transaction Fee.  Investors will be required to pay a fixed creation transaction fee, described below, payable to the Distributor regardless of the number of creations made each day.  Investors are responsible for the costs of transferring the securities constituting the Deposit Securities to the account of the Trust. 

The standard Creation/Redemption Transaction Fee for the Fund is set forth in the table below:

Fund	Standard Creation/Redemption Transaction Fee
Guggenheim Yuan Bond ETF	$1,500

34

In the case of cash creations or where the Trust permits or requires a creator to substitute cash in lieu of depositing a portion of the Deposit Securities, the creator may be assessed an additional variable charge to compensate the Fund for the costs associated with purchasing the applicable securities. The Trust may adjust these fees from time to time based upon actual experience. As a result, in order to seek to replicate the in-kind creation order process, the Trust expects to purchase, in the secondary market or otherwise gain exposure to, the portfolio securities that could have been delivered as a result of an in-kind creation order pursuant to local law or market convention, or for other reasons ("Market Purchases"). In such cases where the Trust makes Market Purchases, the Authorized Participant will reimburse the Trust for, among other things, any difference between the market value at which the securities and/or financial instruments were purchased by the Trust and the cash in lieu amount (which amount, at the Investment Adviser's discretion, may be capped), applicable registration fees, brokerage commissions and certain taxes. The Investment Adviser may adjust the transaction fee to the extent the composition of the creation securities changes or cash in lieu is added to the Cash Component to protect ongoing shareholders. Creators of Creation Units are responsible for the costs of transferring the securities constituting the Deposit Securities to the account of the Trust.

Redemption of Fund Shares in Creation Units Aggregations.  Fund Shares may be redeemed only in Creation Unit Aggregations at their NAV next determined after receipt of a redemption request in proper form by the Fund through the Transfer Agent and only on a Business Day. The Fund will not redeem Shares in amounts less than Creation Unit Aggregations.  Beneficial owners must accumulate enough Shares in the secondary market to constitute a Creation Unit Aggregation in order to have such Shares redeemed by the Trust.  There can be no assurance, however, that there will be sufficient liquidity in the public trading market at any time to permit assembly of a Creation Unit Aggregation.  Investors should expect to incur brokerage and other costs in connection with assembling a sufficient number of Fund Shares to constitute a redeemable Creation Unit Aggregation.

An Authorized Participant submitting a redemption request is deemed to represent to the Trust that it (or its client) (i) owns outright or has full legal authority and legal beneficial right to tender for redemption the requisite number of Shares to be redeemed and can receive the entire proceeds of the redemption, and (ii) the Shares to be redeemed have not been loaned or pledged to another party nor are they the subject of a repurchase agreement, securities lending agreement or such other arrangement which would preclude the delivery of such Shares to the Trust. The Trust reserves the right to verify these representations at its discretion, but will typically require verification with respect to a redemption request from the Fund in connection with higher levels of redemption activity and/or short interest in the Fund. If the Authorized Participant, upon receipt of a verification request, does not provide sufficient verification of its representations as determined by the Trust, the redemption request will not be considered to have been received in proper form and may be rejected by the Trust.

With respect to the Fund, the Custodian, through the NSCC, makes available prior to the opening of business on the NYSE Arca (currently 9:30 a.m., Eastern time) on each Business Day, the identity of the Fund Securities that will be applicable (subject to possible amendment or correction) to redemption requests received in proper form (as described below) on that day.  Fund Securities received on redemption may not be identical to Deposit Securities that are applicable to creations of Creation Unit Aggregations.

Unless cash redemptions or partial cash redemptions are available or specified for the Fund, the redemption proceeds for a Creation Unit Aggregation generally consist of Fund Securities — as announced on the Business Day of the request for redemption received in proper form — plus or minus cash in an amount equal to the difference between the NAV of the Fund Shares being redeemed, as next

35

determined after a receipt of a request in proper form, and the value of the Fund Securities (the “Cash Redemption Amount”), less a redemption transaction fee as listed below.  In the event that the Fund Securities have a value greater than the NAV of the Fund Shares, a compensating cash payment equal to the difference is required to be made by or through an Authorized Participant by the redeeming shareholder.

The right of redemption may be suspended or the date of payment postponed (i) for any period during which the NYSE is closed (other than customary weekend and holiday closings); (ii) for any period during which trading on the NYSE is suspended or restricted; (iii) for any period during which an emergency exists as a result of which disposal of the Shares of the Fund or determination of the Fund’s NAV is not reasonably practicable; or (iv) in such other circumstances as is permitted by the SEC.

Redemption Transaction Fee.  A redemption transaction fee is imposed to offset transfer and other transaction costs that may be incurred by the Fund.  Investors will also bear the costs of transferring the Fund Securities from the Trust to their account or on their order.  Investors who use the services of a broker or other such intermediary in addition to an Authorized Participant to effect a redemption of a Creation Unit Aggregation may be charged an additional fee of up to four times the fixed transaction fee for such services.  An additional variable charge for cash redemptions or partial cash redemptions may also be imposed to compensate the Fund for the costs associated with buying the applicable securities. The Fund may adjust these fees from time to time based on actual experience. As a result, in order to seek to replicate the in-kind redemption order process, the Trust expects to sell, in the secondary market, the portfolio securities that will not be delivered as part of an in-kind redemption order (“Market Sales”). In such cases where the Trust makes Market Sales, the Authorized Participant will reimburse the Trust for, among other things, any difference between the market value at which the securities were sold by the Trust and the cash in lieu amount (which amount, at the Investment Adviser’s discretion, may be capped), applicable registration fees, brokerage commissions and taxes. To the extent applicable, brokerage commissions incurred in connection with the Trust’s sale of portfolio securities will be at the expense of the Fund and will affect the value of all Shares of the Fund; but the Investment Adviser may adjust the transaction fee to the extent the composition of the redemption securities changes or cash in lieu is added to the Cash Redemption Amount to protect ongoing shareholders. Investors who use the services of a broker or other such intermediary may be charged a fee for such services. The standard redemption transaction fees for the Fund are the same as the standard creation fees set forth above.

Placement of Redemption Orders.  Orders to redeem Creation Unit Aggregations must be delivered through an Authorized Participant that has executed a Participant Agreement.  Investors other than Authorized Participants are responsible for making arrangements for a redemption request to be made through an Authorized Participant.  An order to redeem Creation Unit Aggregations is deemed received by the Trust on the Transmittal Date if:  (i) such order is received by the Custodian not later than the Closing Time on the Transmittal Date; (ii) such order is accompanied or followed by the requisite number of shares of the Fund specified in such order, which delivery must be made through DTC to the Custodian no later than 10:00 a.m., Eastern time, on the next Business Day following the Transmittal Date; and (iii) all other procedures set forth in the Participant Agreement are properly followed.  Deliveries of Fund Securities to redeeming investors generally will be made within three Business Days.  Due to the schedule of holidays in certain countries, however, the delivery of in-kind redemption proceeds may take longer than three Business days after the day on which the redemption request is received in proper form.  In such cases, the local market settlement procedures will not commence until the end of the local holiday periods.  See below for a list of the local holidays in the foreign countries relevant to the Fund.

In connection with taking delivery of shares of Fund Securities upon redemption of shares of the Fund, a redeeming Beneficial Owner, or Authorized Participant action on behalf of such Beneficial Owner must maintain appropriate security arrangements with a qualified broker-dealer, bank or other

custody provider in each jurisdiction in which any of the Fund Securities are customarily traded, to which account such Fund Securities will be delivered.

To the extent contemplated by an Authorized Participant’s agreement, in the event the Authorized Participant has submitted a redemption request in proper form but is unable to transfer all or part of the Creation Unit Aggregation to be redeemed to the Fund’s Transfer Agent, the Distributor will nonetheless accept the redemption request in reliance on the undertaking by the Authorized Participant to deliver the missing shares as soon as possible.  Such undertaking shall be secured by the Authorized Participant to deliver the missing shares as soon as possible.  Such understanding shall be secured by the Authorized Participant’s delivery and maintenance of collateral consisting of cash having a value (marked to market daily) at least equal to 115%, which the Investment Adviser may change from time to time, of the value of the missing shares.

The current procedures for collateralization of missing shares require, among other things, that any cash collateral shall be in the form of U.S. dollars in immediately-available funds and shall be held by Investors Bank and marked to market daily, and that the fees of the Custodian and any sub-custodians in respect of the delivery, maintenance and redelivery of the cash collateral shall be payable by the Authorized Participant.  The Authorized Participant’s agreement will permit the Trust, on behalf of the affected Fund, to purchase the missing shares or acquire the Deposit Securities and the Cash Component underlying such shares at any time and will subject the Authorized Participant to liability for any shortfall between the cost to the Trust of purchasing such shares, Deposit Securities or Cash Component and the value of the collateral.

The calculation of the value of the Fund Securities and the Cash Redemption Amount to be delivered upon redemption will be made by the Custodian according to the procedures set forth under Determination of NAV computed on the Business Day on which a redemption order is deemed received by the Trust.  Therefore, if a redemption order in proper form is submitted to the Custodian by a DTC Participant not later than Closing Time on the Transmittal Date, and the requisite number of shares of the relevant Fund are delivered to the Custodian prior to the DTC Cut-Off-Time, then the value of the Fund Securities and the Cash Redemption Amount to be delivered will be determined by the Custodian on such Transmittal Date.  If, however, a redemption order is submitted to the Custodian by a DTC Participant not later than the Closing Time on the Transmittal Date but either (i) the requisite number of shares of the relevant Fund are not delivered by the DTC Cut-Off-Time, as described above, on such Transmittal Date, or (ii) the redemption order is not submitted in proper form, then the redemption order will not be deemed received as of the Transmittal Date.  In such case, the value of the Fund Securities and the Cash Redemption Amount to be delivered will be computed on the Business Day that such order is deemed received by the Trust, i.e., the Business Day on which the shares of the relevant Fund are delivered through DTC to the Custodian by the DTC Cut-Off-Time on such Business Day pursuant to a properly submitted redemption order.

If it is not possible to effect deliveries of the Fund Securities, the Trust may in its discretion exercise its option to redeem such shares in cash, and the redeeming Beneficial Owner will be required to receive its redemption proceeds in cash.  In addition, an investor may request a redemption in cash that the Fund may, in its sole discretion, permit.  In either case, the investor will receive a cash payment equal to the NAV of its shares based on the NAV of shares of the relevant Fund next determined after the redemption request is received in proper form (minus a redemption transaction fee and additional charge for requested cash redemptions specified above, to offset the Trust’s brokerage and other transaction costs associated with the disposition of Fund Securities).  The Fund may also, in its sole discretion, upon request of a shareholder, provide such redeemer a portfolio of securities that differs from the exact composition of the Fund Securities, or cash in lieu of some securities added to the Cash Component, but in no event will the total value of the securities delivered and the cash transmitted differ from the NAV.

37

Redemptions of shares for Fund Securities will be subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and the Fund (whether or not it otherwise permits cash redemptions) reserves the right to redeem Creation Unit Aggregations for cash to the extent that the Trust could not lawfully deliver specific Fund Securities upon redemptions or could not do so without first registering the Fund Securities under such laws.  An Authorized Participant or an investor for which it is acting subject to a legal restriction with respect to a particular security included in the Fund Securities applicable to the redemption of a Creation Unit Aggregation may be paid an equivalent amount of cash.  The Authorized Participant may request the redeeming Beneficial Owner of the shares to complete an order form or to enter into agreements with respect to such matters as compensating cash payment.

Because the Portfolio Securities of the Fund may trade on the relevant exchange(s) on days that the NYSE Arca is closed or are otherwise not Business Days for the Fund, shareholders may not be able to redeem their shares of the Fund, or to purchase and sell shares of the Fund on the NYSE Arca, on days when the NAV of the Fund could be significantly affected by events in the relevant foreign markets.

Regular Holidays.  The Fund generally intends to effect deliveries of Creation Units and Portfolio Securities on a basis of “T” plus three Business Days (i.e., days on which the national securities exchange is open).  The Fund may effect deliveries of Creation Units and Portfolio Securities on a basis other than T plus three or T plus two in order to accommodate local holiday schedules, to account for different treatment among foreign and U.S. markets of dividend record dates and ex-dividend dates, or under certain other circumstances.  The ability of the Trust to effect in-kind creations and redemptions within three Business Days of receipt of an order in good form is subject, among other things, to the condition that, within the time period from the date of the order to the date of delivery of the securities, there are no days that are holidays in the applicable foreign market.  For every occurrence of one or more intervening holidays in the applicable foreign market that are not holidays observed in the U.S. equity market, the redemption settlement cycle will be extended by the number of such intervening holidays.  In addition to holidays, other unforeseeable closings in a foreign market due to emergencies may also prevent the Trust from delivering securities within normal settlement period.

The securities delivery cycles currently practicable for transferring Portfolio Securities to redeeming investors, coupled with foreign market holiday schedules, will require a delivery process longer than seven calendar days for the Fund, in certain circumstances.  The holidays applicable to the Fund during such periods are listed below, as are instances where more than seven days will be needed to deliver redemption proceeds.  Although certain holidays may occur on different dates in subsequent years, the number of days required to deliver redemption proceeds in any given year is not expected to exceed the maximum number of days listed below for the Fund.  The proclamation of new holidays, the treatment by market participants of certain days as “informal holidays” (e.g., days on which no or limited securities transactions occur, as a result of substantially shortened trading hours), the elimination of existing holidays, or changes in local securities delivery practices, could affect the information set forth herein at some time in the future.

* Holidays are subject to change without further notice.

TAXES

The Fund intends to qualify for and to elect to be treated as a separate regulated investment company (a “RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.  To qualify for treatment as a RIC, a company must annually distribute at least 90% of its net investment company taxable income (which includes dividends, interest and net capital gains) and meet several other requirements relating to the nature of its income and the diversification of its assets.

The Fund is treated as a separate corporation for federal income tax purposes.  The Fund therefore is considered to be a separate entity in determining its treatment under the rules for RICs described herein and in the Prospectus.  Losses in one fund do not offset gains in another fund and the requirements (other than certain organizational requirements) to qualify for RIC status are determined at the Fund level rather than at the Trust level.

The Fund will be subject to a 4% excise tax on certain undistributed income if it does not distribute to its shareholders in each calendar year at least 98% of its ordinary income for the calendar year plus 98.2% of its net capital gains for twelve months ended October 31 of such year.  The Fund intends to declare and distribute dividends and distributions in the amounts and at the times necessary to avoid the application of this 4% excise tax.

As a result of tax requirements, the Trust on behalf of the Fund has the right to reject an order to purchase Shares if the purchaser (or group of purchasers) would, upon obtaining the Shares so ordered, own 80% or more of the outstanding Shares of the Fund and if, pursuant to section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Fund would have a basis in the Deposit Securities different from the market value of such securities on the date of deposit.  The Trust also has the right to require information necessary to determine beneficial Share ownership for purposes of the 80% determination.

The Fund may make investments that are subject to special federal income tax rules, such as investments in repurchase agreements, money market instruments, convertible securities, structured notes, and non-U.S. corporations classified as “passive foreign investment companies.” Those special tax rules can, among other things, affect the timing of income or gain, the treatment of income as capital or ordinary and the treatment of capital gain or loss as long-term or short-term. The application of these special rules would therefore also affect the character of distributions made by the Fund. The Fund may need to borrow money or dispose of some of its investments earlier than anticipated in order to meet its distribution requirements.

Distributions from the Fund's net investment income, including net short-term capital gains, if any, and distributions of income from securities lending, are taxable as ordinary income. Distributions reinvested in additional Shares of the Fund through the means of a dividend reinvestment service will be taxable dividends to Shareholders acquiring such additional Shares to the same extent as if such dividends had been received in cash. Distributions of net long-term capital gains, if any, in excess of net short-term capital losses are taxable as long-term capital gains, regardless of how long shareholders have held the Shares.

46

Long-term capital gains tax of non-corporate taxpayers are generally taxed at a maximum rate of 15% for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2013.  In addition, some ordinary dividends declared and paid by the Fund to non-corporate shareholders may qualify for taxation at the lower reduced tax rates applicable to long-term capital gains, provided that holding period and other requirements are met by the Fund and the shareholder.  Without further Congressional action, the lower tax rate on qualified dividend income will not apply after December 31, 2012 and all ordinary dividends will be taxed at ordinary income tax rates.  The Fund will report to shareholders annually the amounts of dividends received from ordinary income, the amount of distributions received from capital gains and the portion of dividends which may qualify for the dividends received deduction.  In addition, the Fund will report the  

amount of dividends to individual shareholders eligible for taxation at the lower reduced tax rates applicable to long-term capital gains.

If more than 50% of the Fund's total assets at the end of its taxable year consist of foreign securities, the Fund intends to elect to "pass through" to its investors certain foreign income taxes paid by the Fund, with the result that each investor will (i) include in gross income, as an additional dividend, even though not actually received, the investor's pro rata share of the Fund's foreign income taxes, and (ii) either deduct (in calculating U.S. taxable income) or credit (in calculating U.S. federal tax), subject to certain limitations, the investor's pro rate share of the Fund's foreign income taxes.     

If, for any calendar year, the total distributions made exceed the Fund's current and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will, for federal income tax purposes, be treated as a tax free return of capital to each shareholder up to the amount of the shareholder's basis in his or her shares, and thereafter as gain from the sale of shares.  The amount treated as a tax free return of capital will reduce the shareholder's adjusted basis in his or her shares, thereby increasing his or her potential gain or reducing his or her potential loss on the subsequent sale of his or her shares.

The sale, exchange or redemption of Shares may give rise to a gain or loss.  In general, any gain or loss realized upon a taxable disposition of Shares will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the Shares have been held for more than one year.  Otherwise, the gain or loss on the taxable disposition of Shares will be treated as short-term capital gain or loss.  A loss realized on a sale or exchange of Shares of the Fund may be disallowed if other substantially identical Shares are acquired (whether through the automatic reinvestment of dividends or otherwise) within a sixty-one (61) day period beginning thirty (30) days before and ending thirty (30) days after the date that the Shares are disposed of.  In such a case, the basis of the Shares acquired must be adjusted to reflect the disallowed loss.  Any loss upon the sale or exchange of Shares held for six (6) months or less is treated as long-term capital loss to the extent of any capital gain dividends received by the shareholders.  Distribution of ordinary income and capital gains may also be subject to state and local taxes.

Distributions of ordinary income paid to shareholders who are nonresident aliens or foreign entities that are not effectively connected to the conduct of a trade or business within the United States will generally be subject to a 30% United States withholding tax unless a reduced rate of withholding or a withholding exemption is provided under applicable treaty law.  However, shareholders who are nonresident aliens or foreign entities will generally not be subject to United States withholding or income tax on gains realized on the sale of Shares or on dividends from capital gains unless (i) such gain or capital gain dividend is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States or (ii) in the case of an individual shareholder, the shareholder is present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the year of the sale or capital gain dividend and certain other conditions are met.  Gains on the sale of Share and dividends that are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States will generally be subject to United States federal net income taxation at regular income tax rates.  For taxable years of the Fund beginning before

47

January 1, 2012 (or later date if extended by the U.S. Congress), dividends paid by the Fund to shareholders who are nonresident aliens or foreign entities that are properly designated by the Fund as "short-term capital gain dividends" or "interest-related dividends" and that are derived from short-term capital gains and qualifying net investment income (including income from original issue discount and market discount), will generally not be subject to U.S. withholding tax, provided that the income would not be subject to federal income tax if earned directly by the foreign shareholder. The Fund may determine to not make such designations.  Nonresident shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors concerning the applicability of the United States withholding tax.

Some shareholders may be subject to a withholding tax on distributions of ordinary income, capital gains and any cash received on redemption of Creation Units (“backup withholding”).  Generally, shareholders subject to backup withholding will be those for whom no certified taxpayer identification number is on file with the Fund or who, to the Fund’s knowledge, have furnished an incorrect number.  When establishing an account, an investor must certify under penalty of perjury that such number is correct and that such investor is not otherwise subject to backup withholding.

Dividends and interest received by the Fund and capital gains may give rise to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries.  Tax conventions between certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate such taxes.

The foregoing discussion is a summary only and is not intended as a substitute for careful tax planning.  Purchasers of Shares should consult their own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of investing in such Shares, including under Federal, state, local and other tax laws.  Finally, the foregoing discussion is based on applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, regulations, judicial authority and administrative interpretations in effect on the date hereof.  Changes in applicable authority could materially affect the conclusions discussed above, and such changes often occur.

Chinese Taxes

Investors should note that where the Fund invests in Yuan-denominated debt securities of which the income (such as interest income) is derived from China (including Yuan-denominated debt securities issued by Chinese tax resident enterprises), if any, the Fund is subject to withholding of Enterprise Income Tax imposed in China. The Fund may also be subject to other taxes imposed in China.

Under the Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules, income derived from China by non-resident enterprises which have no establishment or place in China are subject to withholding of Enterprise Income Tax at the rate of 10% (such rate may however be subject to change from time to time). As such, in respect of the investments of the Fund in Yuan-denominated debt securities of which the income (such as interest income) is derived from China, if any, the Fund is subject to withholding of Enterprise Income Tax; and such withholding tax will reduce the income to the Fund and adversely affect the performance of the Fund.

However, there are still uncertainties as to the application of the Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules (e.g. it is not clear as to whether gains on disposal of such Yuan-denominated debt securities would be subject to withholding of Enterprise Income Tax and if so, whether such withholding will apply retrospectively). Currently, the Investment Adviser and Investment Sub-Advisers have not made any provision for taxes. To ensure fairness to all shareholders, the Investment Adviser and the Investment Sub-Advisers reserve the right to make any provision for taxes or deduct or withhold an amount on account of taxes (for which the Fund may be directly or indirectly liable to the Chinese tax authorities in respect of the Fund’s investments in the relevant Yuan-denominated debt securities) from assets of the Fund as they consider appropriate.

48

Once the Chinese tax authority has issued further notices or clarified the uncertainties regarding the application of the Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules, the Investment Adviser and Investment Sub-Advisers may make such provision for taxes or such adjustments to the amount of provision for taxes (if any) as they consider necessary as soon as practicable. If provision for taxes is to be made, the Investment Adviser and Investment Sub-Advisers will notify the relevant shareholders of the same as soon as practicable. The amount of such provision, deduction or withholding for taxes by the Investment Adviser and Investment Sub-Advisers will be disclosed in the financial reports of the Fund.

In case of no provision for taxes being made or a difference between the Fund’s provision for taxes (if any) and its actual Chinese tax liabilities, the relevant amounts shall be credited to or debited from the Fund’s assets (as the case may be). As a result, the income from, and/or the performance of, the Fund may or may not be adversely affected and the impact on individual shareholders of the Fund may vary, depending on factors such as the level of the Fund’s provision for taxes (if any) and the amount of the difference at the relevant time and when the relevant shareholders subscribed for and/or redeemed their Shares in the Fund.

There is a possibility that the current tax laws, rules, regulations and practice in China and/or the current interpretation or understanding thereof may change in the future and such change(s) may have retrospective effect. The Fund could become subject to additional taxation that is not anticipated as at the date hereof or when the relevant investments are made, valued or disposed of. Any of those changes may reduce the income from, and/or the value of, the relevant investments in the Fund.

FEDERAL TAX TREATMENT OF FUTURES AND OPTIONS CONTRACTS

The Fund is required for federal income tax purposes to mark to market and recognize as income for each taxable year its net unrealized gains and losses on certain futures contracts as of the end of the year as well as those actually realized during the year. Gain or loss from broad based index options and futures contracts that are listed on a qualified board or exchange are generally required to be marked to market and will result in 60% long-term and 40% short-term capital gain or loss. Application of this rule may alter the timing and character of distributions to shareholders. The Fund may be required to defer the recognition of losses on futures contracts, options contracts and swaps to the extent of any unrecognized gains on offsetting positions held by the Fund.

In order for the Fund to continue to qualify for federal income tax treatment as a RIC, at least 90% of its gross income for a taxable year must be derived from qualifying income, i.e., dividends, interest, income derived from loans or securities, gains from the sale of securities or of foreign currencies or other income derived with respect to the Fund's business of investing in securities (including net income derived from an interest in certain "qualified publicly traded partnerships"). It is anticipated that any net gain realized from the closing out of futures or options contracts will be considered gain from the sale of securities or derived with respect to the Fund's business of investing in securities and therefore will be qualifying income for purposes of the 90% gross income requirement.

The Fund distributes to shareholders at least annually any net capital gains which have been recognized for federal income tax purposes, including unrealized gains at the end of the Fund's fiscal year on futures or options transactions. Such distributions are combined with distributions of capital gains realized on the Fund's other investments and shareholders are advised on the nature of the distributions.

DETERMINATION OF NAV

The following information supplements and should be read in conjunction with the section in the Prospectus entitled “How to Buy and Sell Shares—Pricing Fund Shares.”

The NAV per Share of the Fund is computed by dividing the value of the net assets of the Fund (i.e., the value of its total assets less total liabilities) by the total number of Shares of the Fund outstanding, rounded to the nearest cent.  Expenses and fees, including without limitation, the management and administration fees, are accrued daily and taken into account for purposes of determining NAV.  The NAV per Share is calculated by the Custodian and determined as of the close of the regular trading session on the NYSE (ordinarily 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) on each day that such exchange is open.

In computing the Fund’s NAV, the Fund’s securities holdings traded on a national securities exchange are valued based on their last sale price.  Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded.  Securities regularly traded in an over-the-counter market are valued at the latest quoted sale price in such market or in the case of the NASDAQ, at the NASDAQ official closing price.  Other portfolio securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued based on fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board.

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

The following information supplements and should be read in conjunction with the section in the Prospectus entitled “Dividends, Distributions and Taxes.”

General Policies. Dividends from net investment income and long-term capital gains, if any, are declared and paid monthly. Distributions of net realized securities gains, if any, generally are declared and paid once a year, but the Trust may make distributions on a more frequent basis.  The Trust reserves the right to declare special distributions if, in its reasonable discretion, such action is necessary or advisable to preserve the status of the Fund as a RIC or to avoid imposition of income or excise taxes on undistributed income.

Dividends and other distributions on Fund Shares are distributed, as described below, on a pro rata basis to Beneficial Owners of such Shares.  Dividend payments are made through DTC Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners then of record with proceeds received from the Fund.

Dividend Reinvestment Service.  No reinvestment service is provided by the Trust.  Broker-dealers may make available the DTC book-entry Dividend Reinvestment Service for use by Beneficial Owners of the Fund for reinvestment of their dividend distributions.  Beneficial Owners should contact their broker to determine the availability and costs of the service and the details of participation therein.  Brokers may require Beneficial Owners to adhere to specific procedures and timetables.

ITEM 29. PERSONS CONTROLLED BY OR UNDER COMMON CONTROL WITH REGISTRANT

See the Statement of Additional Information.

ITEM 30. INDEMNIFICATION

Pursuant to Article VI of the Registrant's Agreement and Declaration of Trust, the Trust has agreed to indemnify each person who at any time serves as a Trustee or officer of the Trust (each such person being an "indemnitee") against any liabilities and expenses, including amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines and penalties, and reasonable counsel fees reasonably incurred by such indemnitee in connection with the defense or disposition of any action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil or criminal, before any court or administrative or investigative body in which he may be or may have been involved as a party or otherwise or with which he may be or may have been threatened, while acting in any capacity set forth therein by reason of his having acted in any such capacity, except with respect to any matter as to which he shall not have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the best interest of the Trust or, in the case of any criminal proceeding, as to which he shall have had reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful, provided, however, that no indemnitee shall be indemnified hereunder against any liability to any person or any expense of such indemnitee arising by reason of (i) willful misfeasance, (ii) bad faith, (iii) gross negligence, or (iv) reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his position (the conduct referred to in such clauses (i) through (iv) being sometimes referred to herein as "disabling conduct"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any action, suit or other proceeding voluntarily prosecuted by any indemnitee as plaintiff, indemnification shall be mandatory only if the prosecution of such action, suit or other proceeding by such indemnitee (1) was authorized by a majority of the Trustees or (2) was instituted by the indemnitee to enforce his or her rights to indemnification hereunder in a case in which the indemnitee is found to be entitled to such indemnification. The rights to indemnification set forth in the Declaration of Trust shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Trustee or officer of the Trust and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives. No amendment or restatement of the Declaration of Trust or repeal of any of its provisions shall limit or eliminate any of the benefits provided to any person who at any time is or was a Trustee or officer of the Trust or otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder in respect of any act or omission that occurred prior to such amendment, restatement or repeal.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification shall be made hereunder unless there has been a determination (i) by a final decision on the merits by a court or other body of competent jurisdiction before whom the issue of entitlement to indemnification hereunder was brought that such indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder or, (ii) in the absence of such a decision, by (1) a majority vote of a quorum of those Trustees who are neither "interested persons" of the Trust (as defined in Section 2(a) (19) of the 1940 Act) nor parties to the proceeding ("Disinterested Non-Party Trustees"), that the indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder, or (2) if such quorum is not obtainable or even if obtainable, if such majority so directs, independent legal counsel in a written opinion concludes that the indemnitee should be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

Claymore Exchange-Traded Fund Trust 2 (the "Fund")

2455 Corporate West Drive

Lisle, Illinois 60532

Re:  Opinion of Counsel Regarding Post Effective Amendment No. 98 to the Registration Statement filed on Form N-1A under the Securities Act of 1933 (File Nos. 333-135105, 811-21910)

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to the Fund, a statutory trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, in connection with the registration of its shares of beneficial interest, no par value ("Shares") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act").  In such capacity, we have reviewed the Fund's Registration Statement on Form N-1A under the 1933 Act and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as filed by the Fund with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Registration Statement").  This opinion is being delivered to you in connection with the Fund’s filing of Post-Effective Amendment No. 98 to the Registration Statement to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the 1933 Act, and Amendment No. 100 pursuant to the 1940 Act.  We are familiar with the actions taken by the Fund and its Board of Trustees in connection with the organization of the Fund and the authorization, and the proposed issuance and sale, of Shares, including but not limited to the adoption of a resolution authorizing the issuance of Shares in the manner described in the prospectus contained in the Registration Statement (the "Prospectus"). In addition, we have reviewed the Fund's Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust and such other documents and matters as we have deemed necessary to enable us to render this opinion. With your permission, all assumptions and statements of reliance herein have been made without any independent investigation or verification on our part except to the extent otherwise expressly stated, and we express no opinion with respect to the subject matter or accuracy of such assumptions or items relied upon.

Based upon, and subject to, the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares to which the Registration Statement relates when issued and sold in the manner described in the Prospectus, will be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

We are attorneys licensed to practice only in the State of New York. The foregoing opinion is limited to the Federal laws of the United States and the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, and we are expressing no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

We have consented to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to us under the headings "Fund Service Providers" in the Prospectus, "For More Information - Legal Counsel" on the outside back cover of the Prospectus and "Miscellaneous Information - Counsel" in the Statement of Additional Information, each forming a part of the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not concede that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the 1933 Act.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Dechert LLP
