The Convertible & Income Portfolio of Funds, Series 15 (“Trust”) seeks to provide current income and the potential for capital appreciation.
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 common shares of closed-end investment companies (“closed-end funds”) that are considered to be convertible funds and/or income funds and shares of an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that invests substantially all of its assets in convertible securities. The closed-end funds and ETF included in the Trust’s portfolio invest in a wide range of convertible securities and debt securities rated below-investment grade through investment grade. High-yield, below-investment grade securities or “junk” bonds are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater market and credit risks than investment-grade securities. Please see “Principal Risks” and “Investment Risks” for additional information concerning the risks associated with investing in high-yield securities or “junk” bonds. The closed-end funds and ETF included in the Trust’s portfolio invest in convertible securities and debt securities with short-term, medium-term and long-term maturities. Typically, fixed-income securities with longer periods before maturity are more sensitive to interest rate changes. See “Principal Risks” and “Investment Risks” for additional information concerning the risks associated with investing in fixed-income securities of short, medium, and long-term durations. In addition, certain of the closed-end funds and the ETF invest in foreign securities, including securities issued by companies located in emerging markets. Guggenheim Funds, through proprietary research and strategic alliances, will strive to select closed-end funds and an ETF featuring the potential for current income, diversification and overall liquidity. See “Investment Policies” in Part B of the prospectus for additional information. |

When selecting closed-end funds for inclusion in this portfolio the Sponsor looks at numerous factors. These factors include, but are not limited to:
