Principal Investment Strategy
Under normal circumstances, the Trust invests at least 80% of the value of its assets in common shares of closed-end investment companies (“Closed-End Funds”) that invest substantially all of their assets in senior loan funds and/or income funds. Guggenheim, through proprietary research, 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 Closed-End Funds believed to have the best potential to achieve the Trust’s investment objective. The Closed-End Funds’ portfolios invest substantially all of their assets in senior loans and/or income-producing securities, including high-yield securities. As of the Trust’s initial date of deposit (the “Inception Date”), 100% of the Trust’s portfolio is invested in securities of Closed-End Funds with portfolios that invest substantially all of their assets in senior loans and/or income-producing securities, including high-yield 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:
Investing in Senior Loans Senior loans are made by banks, other financial institutions, and other investors (“Lenders”), to corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies and other entities (“Borrowers”) to finance leveraged buyouts, recapitalizations, mergers, acquisitions, stock repurchases, debt re-financings and, to a lesser extent, for general operating and other purposes. Senior loans generally are not subordinate to other significant claims on a Borrower’s assets. Senior loans held by Closed-End Funds may be in the form of various bonds and other income-producing securities, including high-yield securities. High-yield securities are securities rated below investment-grade by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Senior loans are also generally rated below investment-grade by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Senior loans are generally negotiated between a Borrower and the Lenders represented by one or more Lenders acting as agent (“Agent”) of all the Lenders. The Agent is responsible for negotiating the loan agreement (“Loan Agreement”) that establishes the terms and conditions of the senior loan and the rights While senior loans can provide investors with high current income potential, the majority of senior loans are considered below investment-grade, and therefore retain a higher credit risk relative to lower yielding, investment-grade securities. The provision of price stability and preservation of capital is typical to senior loans as well; however, the senior loan market is still considered relatively illiquid. For floating-rate senior loans, the interest rates are generally adjusted based on a base rate plus a premium or spread over the base rate. The base rate is usually:
LIBOR, as provided for in Loan Agreements, is usually an average of the interest rates quoted by several designated banks as the rates at which they pay interest to major depositors in the London interbank market on U.S. dollar-denominated deposits. LIBOR is scheduled to be phased out and certain LIBOR publications ceased publication after December 31, 2021, while others will cease publication after June 20, 2023. Interest rate provisions included in Loan Agreements using LIBOR may need to be renegotiated in contemplation of the transition away from LIBOR. It is not possible to predict the effect of any replacement rates or any other reforms to LIBOR. The prime rate quoted by a major U.S. bank is generally the interest rate at which that bank is willing to lend U.S. dollars to its most creditworthy borrowers, although it may not be the bank’s lowest available rate. The CD rate, as provided for in loan agreements, usually is the average rate paid on large certificates of deposit traded in the secondary market. Interest rates on senior loans may adjust daily, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually. Senior loans are generally rated below investment-grade and may be unrated at the time of investment. High-yield or “junk” securities 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. Securities that are rated below investment-grade by one national rating agency will be deemed to be below investment-grade for purposes of the trust even if the security has received an investment-grade rating by a different national rating agency. Obligations rated below investment-grade should be considered primarily speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to make principal and interest payments as these ratings indicate a quality of less than investment-grade. Because high-yield securities are generally perceived by investors to |
