Historical Annual Dividend Distribution* | $0.5109 |
* The Historical Annual Dividend Distribution (HADD) is as of the day prior to trust deposit and subject to change. There is no guarantee the issuers of the securities included in the Trust will declare dividends or distributions in the future. The HADD of the securities included in the Trust is for illustrative purposes only and is not indicative of the Trust’s distribution rate. The HADD is the weighted average of the trailing twelve-month distributions paid by the securities included in the portfolio and is reduced to account for the effects of fees and expenses, which will be incurred when investing in the Trust. The HADD will vary due to certain factors that may include, but are not limited to, a change in the dividends paid by issuers, a change in Trust expenses or the sale or maturity of securities in the portfolio.
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.
This information does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of any offer to buy: nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state where the offer, solicitation, or sale is not permitted.
Principal Investment StrategyUnder normal circumstances, the Trust will invest at least 80% of the value of its assets in a combination of common shares of closed-end investment companies (“Closed-End Funds”) that invest substantially all of their assets in various income-oriented securities of different asset classes and shares of an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that invests substantially all of its assets in short-term U.S. Treasury bonds. The Sponsor selects certain Closed-End Funds for the Trust that hold limited duration securities. In general, limited duration fixed-income securities may provide investors with lower interest rate sensitivity than longer duration securities. The duration of a bond is a measure of its price sensitivity to changes in interest rates based on the weighted average term to maturity of its interest and principal cash flows. The Sponsor selects Closed-End Funds that hold securities that have durations of five years or less, however, the average duration of the securities held by the Closed-End Funds may be longer at any time depending on market conditions. By including Closed-End Funds that invest in limited duration fixed-income securities, the Sponsor seeks to lower the overall volatility of the Trust portfolio in most interest rate environments. The asset classes in which the Closed-End Funds invest may include, but are not limited to:
Guggenheim Funds, through proprietary research and strategic alliances, will strive to select Closed-End Funds featuring the potential for current income, diversification and overall liquidity. The Closed-End Funds may invest in securities issued by companies with market capitalizations of any size. In addition, the Closed-End Funds may invest in fixed-income securities with fixed or floating interest rates. |
Selection CriteriaThe Sponsor has selected for the portfolio Closed-End Funds and an ETF believed to have the best potential to achieve the Trust’s investment objective. As of the Trust’s initial date of deposit (the “Inception Date”), 100% of the Trust’s portfolio is invested in a combination of shares of Closed-End Funds that invest substantially all of their assets in various income-oriented securities of different asset classes and an ETF that invests substantially all of its assets in short-term U.S. Treasury bonds. When selecting Closed-End Funds for inclusion in this portfolio the Sponsor looks at numerous factors. These factors include, but are not limited to:
The Sponsor will seek to select an ETF for inclusion in the Trust portfolio that invests substantially all of its assets in short-term U.S. Treasury bonds in an effort to dampen the Trust’s duration sensitivity and lower the Trust’s overall volatility. When selecting the ETF the Sponsor looks at numerous factors. These factors include, but are not limited to: duration, maturity and coupon rate. Due to the current economic environment, U.S. Treasury bonds and ETFs that invest in U.S. Treasury bonds are generating yields that are at historic lows. While U.S. Treasury bonds are considered to be some of the most risk adverse securities available, if U.S. Treasury bond yields remain at its current levels, the ETF included in the Trust’s portfolio may not contribute to or may lower the Trust’s performance. As of the Inception Date, the ETF comprised approximately 20% of the Trust’s portfolio. |
