* Returns for Funds with performance less than a year are cumulative and are not annualized.
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 sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
1 The expense ratio reflects the Fund's actual total annual operating expense ratio, gross of any fee waivers or expense reimbursements as of its most recent prospectus.
2 There is a contractual fee waiver currently in place for this Fund to the extent necessary in keeping the Fund operating expense ratio from exceeding the figure shown of average net assets per year. (See the Fund's prospectus for end date of fee waiver.) Some expenses fall outside of this expense cap and actual expenses may be higher than the figure shown. Without this expense cap, actual returns would be lower.
3 The expense ratio is expressed as a unitary fee and covers all expenses of the Fund, except for the fee payments under the investment advisory agreement, distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses.
4 The Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses associated with the underlying investment companies in which Claymore ETFs may invest are not included in the operating expenses listed for such Funds. Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are based on each ETF's current portfolio and are subject to change. Please read each Fund's prospectus for more information.
After tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates during the periods shown and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after tax returns depend on an investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown.
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 distribution. Investors should also be aware that these returns were primarily achieved during favorable market conditions and may not be sustainable.
