The Guggenheim Discount Opportunity Strategy Portfolio of CEFs, Series 1 ("Trust") seeks to provide 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 StrategyThe Trust will invest in common shares of closed-end investment companies (“closed-end funds”) that are currently trading at a greater discount to their net asset value (“NAV Discount”) than their historical NAV Discount over the past two years. The Trust seeks capital appreciation by selecting closed-end funds that the sponsor believes have the potential to narrow the gap between their current NAV Discount and their historical NAV Discount. The Trust portfolio will include a variety of closed-end funds, including general equity funds, taxable fixed-income funds and balanced/multi-asset funds. The closed-end funds will invest in securities of a variety of asset classes. These asset classes include, but are not limited to:
Please see “Principal Risks” and “Investment Risks” for a description of the risks of investing in each of these asset classes. An investment can be made in the closed-end funds without paying the sales fee, operating expenses and organization costs of the Trust. 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 according to the selection criteria described below. See “Investment Policies” in Part B of the prospectus for additional information. |
Selection CriteriaThe Trust’s portfolio was constructed and the securities were selected three business days prior to the initial date of deposit (the “Inception Date”) according to the selection criteria described below. The security selection process begins by identifying the entire universe of U.S.-listed closed-end funds. Each closed-end fund is then ranked for each the two factors listed below on a scale of 1 through 10, where “1” represents the 10% of closed-end funds ranked highest in a given factor and “10” represents the 10% of closed-end funds ranked lowest in a given factor.
The 40 closed-end funds with the highest average of the two rankings (where ties are broken by selecting the closed-end fund with the higher trading liquidity) will be selected for the Trust portfolio, subject to the following constraints:
The 40 closed-end funds selected for the portfolio will be approximately equallyweighted as of the selection date. Some of the securities held by the closed-end funds are income-producing securities, including corporate bonds, preferred securities and high-yield bonds. High-yield or “junk” bonds, the generic names for bonds rated below investment-grade, are frequently issued by corporations in the growth stage of their development or by established companies who are highly leveraged or whose operations or industries are depressed. Obligations rated below investment-grade should be considered speculative as these ratings indicate a quality of less than investment-grade. Because high-yield bonds are generally subordinated obligations and are perceived by investors to be riskier than higher rated securities, their prices tend to fluctuate more than higher rated securities and are affected by short-term credit developments to a greater degree. See “Description of Ratings” in Part B of the prospectus for additional information regarding the ratings criteria. |
