The Closed-End Covered Call and Income Portfolio ("Trust") seeks to provide high current income and the potential for capital appreciation by investing in common stocks of closed-end investment companies that are considered to be covered call securities and/or income funds.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. Investors' units, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Principal Investment StrategyThe Trust will invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the value of its assets in common stocks of closed-end investment companies ("closed-end funds"), that are considered to be covered call securities and/or income funds. Claymore through proprietary research and strategic alliances will strive to select closed-end funds featuring the potential for current income, diversification and overall liquidity. |
Selection CriteriaThe Sponsor has selected for the portfolio common stocks of closed-end funds believed to have the best potential to achieve the Trust’s investment objective (the “securities”). The closed-end funds’ portfolios consist primarily of covered call securities and/or income producing securities including, high-yield bonds and preferred securities. As of the Trust’s inception date (the “Inception Date”), 100% of the Trust’s portfolio is invested in securities of closed-end funds with portfolios that consist primarily of covered call securities and/or income producing securities including high yield bonds and preferred securities. When selecting closed-end funds for inclusion in this portfolio the Sponsor looks at numerous factors. These factors include but are not limited to:
Some of the securities held by the closed-end funds may be income producing securities including corporate bonds, preferred securities and high-yield bonds. High-yield or “junk” bonds, the generic names for bonds rated below the category of “BBB” by Standard & Poor’s or the category of “Baa” by Moody’s, are frequently issued by corporations in the growth stage of their development or by established companies who are highly leveraged or whose operations or industries are depressed. Obligations rated below investment grade should be considered speculative as these ratings indicate a quality of less than investment grade. Because high-yield bonds are generally subordinated obligations and are perceived by investors to be riskier than higher rated securities, their prices tend to fluctuate more than higher rated securities and are affected by short-term credit developments to a greater degree. |
