The Guggenheim BulletShares® 2011-2017 Corporate Bond ETF Ladder Allocation Portfolio, Series 1 ("Trust") seeks to provide current income by investing in a portfolio of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) that hold fixed-income securities.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. Investors' units, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
This information does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of any offer to buy: nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state where the offer, solicitation, or sale is not permitted.
Principal Investment StrategyUnder normal circumstances, the Trust will invest at least 80% of the value of its assets in shares of ETFs that invest in investment-grade corporate bonds which have scheduled maturities from 2011 through 2017. The ETFs in which the Trust invests are sponsored by or affiliated with Guggenheim Funds Distributors Inc., ("Guggenheim Funds" or "Sponsor"), the Sponsor of the Trust. The ETFs held by the Trust invest in investment-grade corporate bonds and have scheduled maturities from 2011 through 2017. Each ETF will hold bonds with effective maturities for the same year as the ETF is scheduled to mature. The effective maturity of an eligible corporate bond is determined by its actual maturity or, in the case of callable securities, its redemption provisions. By investing in a portfolio of corporate bond ETFs that have a scheduled maturity, the Trust may provide unitholders with diversification across different issuers and relatively low overall duration exposure. As each ETF matures and returns its net assets to the shareholders of such fund, the proceeds will be distributed to unitholders of the Trust in the form of principal. This approach may allow unitholders to take advantage of changing market conditions at the time of the principal distribution in order to meet their investment goals. The ETFs held by the Trust are affiliated funds of the Sponsor and the Sponsor will receive management fees from the funds held in the Trust. |
Selection Criteria
When selecting the ETFs for the Trust, the Sponsor begins with a universe consisting of ETFs Sponsored by Guggenheim Funds. From this starting universe of ETFs, the Sponsor has selected ETFs holding investment-grade corporate bonds that have scheduled maturities from 2011 through 2017 to create a laddered bond ETF portfolio. The Trust will initially consist of a portfolio with an approximately equal weighting in each of the BulletShares® ETF bonds funds that are currently trading on the New York Stock Exchange on the initial date of deposit (the “Inception Date”). Except for the different maturity dates of the underlying corporate bonds, each of the ETFs utilizes a similar investment methodology. This may provide unitholders with a consistent management style approach while gaining exposure to a range of different maturities in the investment-grade, corporate bond ETF space.
