Guggenheim Canadian Energy Income ETF

 

Fund Summary

The Guggenheim Canadian Energy Income ETF (NYSE:ENY), seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before the Fund’s fees and expenses, of an equity index called the Sustainable Canadian Energy Income Index. The Fund will invest at least 90% of its total assets in securities that comprise the Index. Guggenheim Funds Investment Advisors, LLC, the investment adviser, seeks a correlation over time of 0.95 or better between the Fund’s performance and the performance of the Index. A figure of 1.00 would represent perfect correlation.

The Fund, using a low cost “passive” or “indexing” investment approach, will seek to replicate, before expenses, the performance of the Sustainable Canadian Energy Income Index. The Index is comprised of 34 stocks selected, based on investment and other criteria, from a universe of companies listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”), NYSE AMEX, NASDAQ or NYSE. The universe of companies includes approximately 200 TSX listed oil and gas sector securities including royalty trusts, as defined by the TSX, and approximately 25 oil sands resource producers that are classified as oil and gas producers. The companies in the universe are selected using criteria as identified by Sustainable Wealth Management, Ltd.

There is a contractual fee waiver in place for this Fund, through Decemeber 31, 2015 to the extent necessary in keeping the Fund’s operating expense ratio from exceeding 0.65% of average net assets per year. However, some expenses fall outside of this expense cap and therefore net operating expenses were 0.70%. Wthout this expense cap, actual returns would be lower.

P/E ratio is a harmonic weighted average and is equal to a security’s market capitalization divided by it after-tax earnings over the most recent 12-month period.

P/B ratio is a harmonic weighted average and is equal to a security’s market capitalization divided by its book value.

Alpha is a statistical measurement that depicts the performance difference between a fund’s return and an underlying performance benchmark, given a fund’s level of volatility, measured by beta. The benchmark will always reflect an alpha of 0.00%. A positive alpha indicates a fund has performed better than its beta would predict in the stated period.

Beta is the measure of a fund’s sensitivity to an index. By definition, the beta of an index is 1.00. Any fund with a higher beta is more volatile than the index. Likewise, any portfolio with a lower beta will be less volatile than the index in the stated period.

Standard deviation is a measure of historical volatility that indicates the degree to which an investment’s returns fluctuate around its average return. Generally, a higher standard deviation indicates a more risky investment.

Average market capitalization is the geometric mean of the market capitalization s for all securities in a fund’s portfolio.

Weighted average coupon is calculated by weighting each bond’s coupon by its relative size in the portfolio.

Weighted average bond price is a weighted average of individual bond prices.

Weighted average option-adjusted duration is a weighted average which measures the sensitivity of the price (the value of principal), incorporating the expected duration-shortening effect of an embedded call provision, of a fixed-income investment to a change in interest rates. The larger the duration number, the greater the interest-rate risk for bond prices.

Average maturity is the length of time until the principal amount of a bond must be repaid.

Average effective duration measures the sensitivity of the price (value of principal) of a fixed income investment to a change in interest rates. The larger the duration number, the greater the interest rate risk for bond prices.

INDEX METHODOLOGY

The Index selection methodology is designed to combine the highest yielding Canadian energy related securities with the most highly focused and fastest growing oil sands producers using a tactical asset allocation model based on the trend in crude oil prices.

The Index constituent selection methodology was developed by SWM as an effective, fundamental approach designed to select stocks from a group of companies primarily listed on the TSX.

The Canadian energy income constituent selection methodology is an equal weighted allocation to the top 20 highest yielding Canadian energy equities that pass minimum criteria for equity and market capitalization. The oil sands producers are selected on the basis of their focus on oil sands production, current production rate and projected production during the next 10 years. The oil sands producers must also pass minimum market capitalization and liquidity thresholds. Index constituents are updated annually or whenever a major corporate event occurs such as a merger or acquisition.

The Index allocates between the oil sands and Canadian high yield energy equities constituents according to the current price trend of crude oil. If the current quarter’s closing price is above the four quarter moving average price, crude oil is determined to be in a bull phase. If it is at or below the moving average price, crude oil is determined to be in a bear phase.

Asset Allocation by Crude Oil Price Trend

Bull Phase Bear Phase
Oil Sands 70% Oil Sands 30%
Canadian high yield energy equities 30% Canadian high yield energy equities 70%

Crude oil price trends are evaluated 15 days prior to the end of each calendar quarter and tactical asset allocation adjustments are implemented on the first trading day of the new quarter.

INDEX CONSTRUCTION

Sustainable Canadian Energy Income Index

  1. Oil Sands
    1. Potential Index constituents are primarily Canadian based oil sands producers.
    2. The potential Index constituents are then narrowed to a universe of companies that have a minimum market capitalization of $500 million and shares that have traded an average of $2 million per day in value over the last 100 trading days.
    3. The Index constituents are weighted according to a proprietary formula that accounts for current and future oil sands production, focus on oil sands production, market capitalization and liquidity. For instance, an oil sands producer with a large oil sands production base and plans to increase production in the future that has a large market capitalization and liquidity will have a substantial weighting in the Index. The factors with the most influence on the Index weightings are current and future oil sands production and focus on oil sands production.
  2. Canadian High Yielding Energy Equities
    1. Potential Index constituents are Canadian energy related equities with a yield that are listed on the TSX. Currently there are about 200 listed equities on the TSX that are classified as oil and gas producers of which approximately 50 have an income yield.
    2. The potential Index constituents are then narrowed to a universe of companies that have a minimum market capitalization of $300 million and whose shares have traded an average of $2 million per day in value over the last 100 trading days, three years history of profit growth and an annual income distribution yield of 3% or higher.
    3. The Index constituents are the top 20 highest yielding securities and are equal-weighted.
  3. The Index constituents are rebalanced annually on June 30.

RISKS AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

Investors should consider the following risk factors and special considerations associated with investing in the Fund, which may cause you to lose money.

Investment Risk. An investment in the Fund is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount that you invest.

Equity Risk. The value of the equity securities held by the Fund may fall due to general market and economic conditions, perceptions regarding the industries in which the issuers of securities held by the Fund participate, or factors relating to specific companies in which the Fund invests. For example, an adverse event, such as an unfavorable earnings report, may depress the value of equity securities of an issuer held by the Fund; the price of common stock of an issuer may be particularly sensitive to general movements in the stock market; or a drop in the stock market may depress the price of most or all of the common stocks and other equity securities held by the Fund. In addition, common stock of an issuer in the Fund’s portfolio may decline in price if the issuer fails to make anticipated dividend payments because the issuer of the security experiences a decline in its financial condition. Common stock is subordinated to preferred stocks, bonds and other debt instruments in a company’s capital structure, in terms of priority to corporate income, and therefore will be subject to greater dividend risk than preferred stocks or debt instruments of such issuers. In addition, while broad market measures of common stocks have historically generated higher average returns than fixed income securities, common stocks have also experienced significantly more volatility in those returns.

Oils/Energy Sector Risk. The profitability of companies in the oils/energy sector is related to worldwide energy prices, exploration, and production spending. Such companies also are subject to risks of changes in exchange rates, government regulation, world events, depletion of resources and economic conditions, as well as market, economic and political risks of the countries where energy companies are located or do business. Oil and gas exploration and production can be significantly affected by natural disasters. Oil exploration and production companies may be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates, interest rates, government regulation, world events, and economic conditions. Oil exploration and production companies may be at risk for environmental damage claims.

Foreign Investment Risk. The Fund’s investments in non-U.S. issuers may involve unique risks compared to investing in securities of U.S. issuers, including less market liquidity, generally greater market volatility than U.S. securities and less complete financial information than for U.S. issuers. In addition, adverse political, economic or social developments could undermine the value of the Fund’s investments or prevent the Fund from realizing the full value of its investments. Financial reporting standards for companies based in foreign markets differ from those in the United States. Finally, the value of the currency of the country in which the Fund has invested could decline relative to the value of the U.S. dollar, which may affect the value of the investment to U.S. investors. The Fund will not enter into transactions to hedge against declines in the value of the Fund’s assets that are denominated in a foreign currency. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts, particularly unsponsored or unregistered depositary receipts, are under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications to the holders of such receipts, or to pass through to them any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities.

Canadian Risk. As the Fund invests in Canadian royalty trusts and stocks listed on the TSX, the Fund is subject to the following risks:

Commodity Exposure Risk. The Canadian economy is very dependent on the demand for, and supply and price of, natural resources. The Canadian market is relatively concentrated in issuers involved in the production and distribution of natural resources. There is a risk that any changes in these sectors could have an adverse impact on the Canadian economy.

Reliance on Exports Risk. The Canadian economy is dependent on the economies of the United States as a key trading partner. Reduction in spending on Canadian products and services or changes in the U.S. economy may cause an impact in the Canadian economy.

U.S. Economic Risk. The Canadian economy may be significantly affected by the U.S. economy, given that the United States is Canada’s largest trading partner and foreign investor. Since the implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1994, total two-way merchandise trade between the United States and Canada has more than doubled. To further this relationship, all three NAFTA countries entered into The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America in March 2005, which addressed economic and security related issues. The new agreement may further affect Canada’s dependency on the U.S. economy.

Structural Risk (Political Risk). In addition, past periodic demands by the Province of Quebec for sovereignty have significantly affected equity valuations and foreign currency movements in the Canadian market.

Canadian Royalty Trust Risk. As the Fund invests in Canadian royalty trusts, it is subject to the following risks applicable to Canadian royalty trusts:

Lack of diversification. The royalty trusts in which the Fund invests are heavily invested in oil and gas.

Potential sacrifice of growth. Potential growth may be sacrificed because revenue is passed on to a royalty trust’s unit holders (such as the Fund), rather than reinvested in the business.

No guarantees. Royalty trusts generally do not guarantee minimum distributions or even return of capital. If the assets underlying a royalty trust do not perform as expected, the royalty trust may reduce or even eliminate distributions. The declaration of such distributions generally depends upon various factors, including the operating performance and financial condition of the royalty trust and general economic conditions.

Potential for tax recharacterization or changes. Under amendments to the Income Tax Act (Canada) passed in 2007 (the “SIFT Rules”), certain trusts (defined as “SIFT trusts”) are taxable on certain income and gains on a basis similar to that which applies to a corporation, with the result that tax efficiencies formerly available in respect of an investment in the trust may cease to be available. A royalty trust may be a SIFT trust. In addition, as a result of the SIFT Rules, some trusts may undertake reorganization transactions, the costs of which may affect the return earned on an investment in the trust. After any such conversion, tax efficiencies that were formerly available in respect of an investment in the trust may cease to be available. Accordingly, the SIFT Rules have had and may continue to have an effect on the trading price of investments in royalty trusts, and consequently could impact the value of Shares of the Fund.

Small and Medium-Sized Company Risk. Investing in securities of small and medium-sized companies involves greater risk than is customarily associated with investing in more established companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies. These securities may have returns that vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall stock market.

Non-Correlation Risk. The Fund’s return may not match the return of the Index for a number of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs a number of operating expenses not applicable to the Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the Fund’s securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of the Index. Since the Index constituents may vary on a quarterly basis, the Fund’s costs associated with rebalancing may be greater than those incurred by other exchange-traded funds that track indices whose composition changes less frequently.

The Fund may not be fully invested at times, either as a result of cash flows into the Fund or reserves of cash held by the Fund to meet redemptions and expenses. If the Fund utilizes a sampling approach, its return may not correlate as well with the return on the Index, as would be the case if it purchased all of the securities in the Index with the same weightings as the Index.

Replication Management Risk. Unlike many investment companies, the Fund is not “actively” managed. Therefore, it would not necessarily sell a security because the security’s issuer was in financial trouble unless that security is removed from the Index.

Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. The value of securities of smaller issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.

Non-Diversified Fund Risk. The Fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in share price than would occur in a diversified fund.

The Fund’s Shares will change in value, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund. The Fund may not achieve its investment objective. An investment in the Fund has not been guaranteed, sponsored, recommended, or approved by the United States, or any agency, instrumentality or officer of the United States, has not been insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and is not guaranteed by and is not otherwise an obligation of any bank or insured depository institution.

As with any investment, you should consider how your investment will be taxed. The tax information contained in the prospectus is provided as general information. Investors should consult their own tax professional about the tax consequences of an investment as Guggenheim Funds Distributors, Inc. does not offer tax advice.

The Fund will issue and redeem Shares at NAV only in a large specified number of Shares called a “Creation Unit” or multiples thereof. A Creation Unit consists of 50,000 Shares. The Fund generally issues and redeems Creation Units principally in-kind. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the Shares are not redeemable securities of the Fund. Individual Shares of the Fund may only be purchased and sold in secondary market transactions through brokers. Shares of the Fund are listed for trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”) and because Shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, Shares of the Fund may trade at a price greater than or less than NAV.

Investors buying or selling ETF shares on the secondary market may incur brokerage costs and other transactional fees. Shares of ETFs may fluctuate in price due to daily changes in trading volume. At times, shares may not have a high volume of trading.
