US Low Volatility Strategy Portfolio Series 14

Under normal circumstances, the Trust invests at least 80% of the value of its assets in common stocks of U.S. companies that the Sponsor believes are lower volatility securities from the S&P 500 Index. The Trust applies a series of screens to determine the final portfolio, including measuring the volatility of a security by using the standard deviation of daily returns for the previous trailing year for such a security and selecting the securities with the lowest volatility. The Trust seeks total returns that may exceed the S&P 500 Index’s market level in certain risk-adjusted return metrics. The Sponsor, with the assistance of Guggenheim Partners Investment Management, LLC (“GPIM”), an affiliate of Guggenheim Partners, LLC, has selected the securities to be included in the Trust’s portfolio. As a result of this strategy, the Trust is concentrated in the consumer products sector. 

The Sponsor considered the following factors, among others, in selecting the debt obligations:

• All ratings provided for the debt obligations must be rated as investment-grade or above by at least one nationally recognized statistical rating organization or in the case of a debt obligation with no issued ratings, such a debt obligation has credit characteristics similar to those of comparable debt obligations that were rated so as to be acceptable for acquisition by the Trust in the opinion of the Sponsor. For purposes of the Trust’s 80% policy, the Sponsor believes that any unrated corporate debt obligation held by the Trust would have been rated investment-grade if it was rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization;

• The price of the debt obligations relative to other debt obligations with comparable characteristics;

• The diversification of debt obligations with respect to the issuer with no one issuer comprising more than 20% of the final portfolio;

• Attractiveness of the interest payments relative to debt obligations with similar characteristics; and

• The potential for early return of principal or any event risk which could have a negative impact on the price of the debt obligations.

Following the Inception Date, a debt obligation may cease to be rated or its rating may be reduced, even to below investment-grade, and the Trust could continue to hold such debt obligation.

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.

• Securities selected according to this strategy may not perform as intended. The Trust is exposed to additional risk due to its policy of investing in accordance with an investment strategy. Although the Trust’s investment strategy is designed to achieve the Trust’s investment objective, the strategy may not prove to be successful. The investment decisions may not produce the intended results and there is no guarantee that the investment objective will be achieved.

• The Trust is concentrated in the consumer products sector. As a result, the factors that impact the consumer products sector will likely have a greater effect on this Trust than on a more broadly diversified Trust. General risks of companies in the consumer products sector include cyclicality of revenues and earnings, economic recession, currency fluctuations, changing consumer tastes, extensive competition, product liability litigation and increased government regulation. A weak economy and its effect on consumer spending would adversely affect companies in the consumer products sector.

• Share prices or dividend rates on the securities in the Trust may decline during the life of the Trust. There is no guarantee that share prices of the securities in the Trust will not decline and that the issuers of the securities will declare dividends in the future and, if declared, whether they will remain at current levels or increase over time.

• The Trust invests in securities issued by mid-capitalization companies. These securities customarily involve more investment risk than securities of large-capitalization companies. Mid-capitalization companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources and may be more 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, when creating additional units, continue to buy, the same securities even though a security’s outlook, market value or yield may have changed.
