Principal Investment StrategyUnder normal circumstances, the Trust will invest at least 80% of the value of its assets in shares of ETFs that are Sponsored by or affiliated with Guggenheim Funds or its affiliates, the Sponsor of the Trust. The ETFs held by the Trust invest in common stocks of foreign and domestic companies and common stocks of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objective by selecting ETFs for the portfolio that invest in common stocks of foreign and domestic companies. As of the initial date of deposit (the “Inception Date”), approximately 50% of the Trust’s portfolio includes ETFs that invest a majority of their assets in securities issued by non-U.S. companies. In addition, as of the Inception Date, the ETFs in the Trust portfolio cumulatively invest in securities from at least 50 different foreign countries, including those located in developed and emerging markets. See “Principal Risks” and “Investment Risks” in the prospectus for information concerning the risks of investing in foreign securities. The ETFs included in the Trust’s portfolio invest in common stocks of large, mid, small and micro capitalization companies. Please see “Principal Risks” and “Investment Risks” in the prospectus for information concerning the risks associated with investing in micro, small and mid-cap companies. The ETFs held by the Trust are affiliated funds of the Sponsor and the Sponsor’s affiliate will receive management fees from the ETFs held in the Trust. The Sponsor has selected Wilshire Associates (“Wilshire”) to serve as the Trust’s portfolio consultant. The portfolio consultant is responsible for assisting the Sponsor with the selection of the Trust’s portfolio. |
Selection CriteriaWhen selecting the ETFs for the Trust, the Sponsor begins with a universe consisting of ETFs sponsored by Guggenheim Funds and its affiliates. From this starting universe of ETFs, the Sponsor, with the assistance of Wilshire, considers a number of factors in selecting constituents for the portfolio including, but not limited to, the size, liquidity and daily trading volume, the current dividend yield, the strategy and investment objective, the securities held by the ETF, the expense ratio and limitations on the overlap of the underlying securities held by the ETFs. The Sponsor, with the assistance of Wilshire, has selected a portfolio of ETFs believed to have the best potential for capital appreciation. Wilshire’s approach to security allocation begins with the development of capital markets forecasts across both the domestic and international equity opportunity set. These forecasts are developed using a Reverse Optimization process which requires a global reference portfolio. Wilshire’s global reference portfolio is derived using access to proprietary institutional data regarding allocation characteristics of a large sample of institutional investors. By understanding how institutions are allocated, Wilshire believes expectations for future returns can be inferred. A traditional mean-variance optimization approach will then provide a target range for the various domestic and international asset classes, as described above. Individual ETFs are then analyzed on a definitional basis (their broad characterization) as well as a qualitative basis (detailed analysis of the constituent securities within each ETF). The combination of these two analyses, along with the target ranges described above, lead to the final portfolio allocation. |
