The above chart represents the weighted average premium or discount of all those closed-end funds included in the Claymore CEF Index at the time of rebalance as of the Index inception on
December 5, 2007. The trailing 12-month dividend yield is a weighted average yield calculation as of the time of rebalance of the distributions paid within the previous 12 months’ dividend by the
closing market price at time of rebalance.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Claymore CEF Index Hypothetical Growth of $10,000 chart reflects the hypothetical investment returns
that the Index might have achieved by investing $10,000 according to the Index’s rules on 12/5/07. The results of the Claymore CEF Index Hypothetical Growth of
$10,000 chart assume that no cash was added to or assets withdrawn from the hypothetical investment and that all dividends (including those on securities trading
ex-dividend as of the last day of the year), gains and other earnings in the account were reinvested in accordance with the Index’s rules. The Index does not charge
management fees or brokerage expenses or changes to purchase the funds, and no such fees or expenses were deducted from the hypothetical performance shown.
An investor cannot invest directly in an index. It is important to note that high returns are highly unusual and cannot be sustained.
