Yield reflects the contractual fee waiver currently in place for this Fund through December 31, 2013. Without this expense waiver, actual yields would have been lower.

The annualized rate an investor would receive if the most recent fund distribution stayed the same going forward. This rate does not represent the total return of a fund. The distribution rate is calculated by annualizing the most recent distribution and dividing by a fund’s NAV from the as-of-date.

Annual total returns are for the noted 1-year periods beginning 12/31 and ending 12/31 the following year.

Prior to September 30, 2008, the Fund’s name was the “Claymore/BBD High Income Index ETF,” and the Fund sought to replicate an index called the “Benchmarks by Design High Income Index.”

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and current performance may be lower or higher than the figures shown. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate with changes in market conditions and other factors so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Per the prospectus dated 9/30/11, the Fund’s total annual operating expense ratio, gross of any fee waivers or expense reimbursements, is 1.71%. There is a contractual fee waiver currently in place for this Fund through December 31, 2014 to the extent necessary in keeping Fund operating expense ratio from exceeding 0.60% of average net assets per year. However, some expenses fall outside of this expense cap and therefore net operating expenses were 0.92%. Without this expense cap, actual returns would be lower.

Since Inception returns assume a purchase of the ETF at the initial share price for share price returns or the initial net asset value (NAV) per share for NAV returns. Returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized. Returns included a reinvestment of distributions. Investors should also be aware that these returns were primarily achieved during favorable market conditions and may not be sustainable.

Historical Premium Discount Data(PDF)

ETFs may trade at a market premium/discount to net asset value. The Premium/Discount chart shows the difference between the daily bid/ask mid point for shares of the Fund and the Fund's net asset value. The bid/ask mid point is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the listing exchange, as of the time that the Fund's NAV is calculated (usually 4:00 pm Eastern time). Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Glossary

Net Asset Value (NAV): NAV is the price per share at which each Fund issues and redeems shares. The net asset value per share for each 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. 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.

Market Price (Bid/Ask Midpoint): The midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on any exchange on which the Fund trades as of the time that the Fund's NAV is calculate.

Closing Price (Last Trade): The Closing Price is the price of the last reported trade on any exchange on which the Fund trades.
