Investment Objective

The Utilities Portfolio, Series 12 (Trust") seeks to provide a high level of income with a secondary objective of capital growth.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY

The Trust consists of 32 stocks classified as being in the utilities sector by the Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”). The Trust is diversified across the utilities sector including integrated electric, pipeline and gas distribution companies. The Sponsor selects stocks for the Trust that it believes have the potential to achieve the Trust’s investment objective.

SELECTION CRITERIA

Companies are selected for the Trust from within the utilities sector by examining factors that include, but are not limited to:

  • Products and/or services offered by the companies;
  • The competitive environment;
  • Research and development capabilities;
  • Potential acquisitions;
  • Financing; and
  • A fundamental and technical equity valuation assessment.

By examining these factors the Sponsor hopes to identify companies for the Trust that represent the best relative values in the Utilities Sector.

RISKS AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

This Trust is not being offered for sale. This data is for informational purposes only.

As with all investments, you may lose some or all of your investment in the Trust. No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved. The Trust also might not perform as well as you expect. This can happen for reasons such as these:

  • Securities prices can be volatile. The value of your investment may fall over time. Market value fluctuates in response to various factors. These can include stock market movements, purchases or sales of securities by the Trust, government policies, litigation, and changes in interest rates, inflation, the financial condition of the securities’ issuer or even perceptions of the issuer. Units of the Trust are not deposits of any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
  • Due to the current state of the economy, the value of the securities held by the Trust may be subject to steep declines or increased volatility due to changes in performance or perception of the issuers. Starting in December 2007, economic activity declined across all sectors of the economy, and the United States experienced increased unemployment. The economic crisis affected the global economy with European and Asian markets also suffering historic losses. Unemployment remains high in the United States. Extraordinary steps have been taken by the governments of several leading countries to combat the economic crisis; however, the impact of these measures is not yet fully known and cannot be predicted.
  • Share prices or dividend rates on the securities in the Trust may decline during the life of the Trust. There is no guarantee that the issuers of stocks will declare dividends in the future and, if declared, whether they will remain at current levels or increase over time.
  • The Trust includes securities from the utilities sector. Adverse developments in this sector may significantly affect the value of your units. Companies involved in the utilities sector must contend with environmental considerations, taxes, government regulation, price and supply fluctuations, competition and energy conservation.
  • The Trust invests in securities issued by small-capitalization and mid-capitalization companies. These securities customarily involve more investment risk than securities of large-capitalization companies. Small-capitalization and mid-capitalization companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources and may be vulnerable to adverse general market or economic developments.
  • Inflation may lead to a decrease in the value of assets or income from investments.
  • The Sponsor does not actively manage the portfolio. The Trust will generally hold, and may continue to buy, the same securities even though a security’s outlook, market value or yield may have changed.

Please see the Trust prospectus for more complete risk information.

Unit Investment Trusts (“UITs”) are fixed and not actively managed. An investment in this fixed portfolio should be made with an understanding of the risks involved with owning various types of investments.

Units, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original purchase price.

This UIT is part of a long-term strategy. Consult an attorney or tax advisor regarding tax consequences associated with an investment from one series to the next, if available. Investors should consult their tax advisor to determine tax consequences associated with the purchase or sale of units. Guggenheim Funds Distributors, Inc. does not offer tax advice.
