INDEX METHODOLOGY

The Energy Income Index selection methodology is designed to combine the most profitable and liquid Canadian royalty trusts 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 royalty trust constituent selection methodology utilizes multi-factor proprietary selection rules to seek to identify those stocks that have historically provided the highest profitability in the sector and meet minimum distribution yield, market cap and liquidity thresholds. 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 Energy Income Index allocates between the oil sands and royalty trust 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

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

INDEX CONSTRUCTION

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.
4. The Index constituents are rebalanced annually on June 30.

Royalty Trusts
1. Potential Index constituents are Canadian royalty trusts that are listed on the TSX. Currently there are about 30 royalty trusts listed on the TSX that are classified as oil and gas producers.
2. The potential Index constituents are then narrowed to a universe of companies that have a minimum market capitalization of $500 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 9% or higher.
3. The Index constituents are weighted according to a proprietary formula that accounts for historical profit growth, income yield, market capitalization and liquidity. For instance, a royalty trust with a strong track record of profit growth, high current yield and 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 historical profit growth and yield.
4. 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. A principal risk of investing in the Fund is equity risk, which is the risk that the value of the securities held by the Fund will 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, among other reasons, 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, among others, 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. 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. The current Canadian tax treatment of certain income/royalty trusts not treated as corporations that allows income to flow through to investors and be taxed only at the individual level could be challenged under existing Canadian tax laws, or such tax laws could change. On June 22, 2007, the Canadian Senate passed into law the Tax Fairness Plan, which included a tax on distributions paid by royalty trusts. For those royalty trusts that begin public trading after October 31, 2006, the application of the distribution tax commenced in 2007. For royalty trusts that began public trading before November 1, 2006, which includes all of the royalty trusts currently in the Index, the distribution tax will apply beginning in 2011. The distribution tax could have a material impact on the current market value of all 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’ stocks may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies. These stocks 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 or futures or other derivative positions, its return may not correlate as well with the return on the Index, as would be the case if it purchased all of the stocks 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 stock because the stock’s issuer was in financial trouble unless that stock 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.

Claymore ETFs are listed on the NYSE Arca, depending on the ETF listing, the same way as shares of a publicly-traded company. Claymore ETFs can be purchased through most brokerage accounts. They can be bought and sold throughout the day on the NYSE Arca, depending on the ETF listing, during normal trading hours. The Fund issues and redeems shares at NAV only in large blocks of 80,000 shares (each block of 80,000 shares is called a “Creation Unit”) or multiples thereof. Only broker-dealers or large institutional investors with creation and redemption agreements, called Authorized Participants (“APs”), can purchase or redeem these Creation Units.

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. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, Shares are not redeemable securities of the Fund.
