Summary Information

Guggenheim China All-Cap ETF (YAO)

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

The Guggenheim China All-Cap ETF (the "Fund") seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before the Fund’s fees and expenses, of an equity index called the AlphaShares China All Cap Index (the “China All-Cap Index” or the “Index”).

FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE FUND

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund (“Shares”). Investors purchasing Shares in the secondary market may be subject to costs (including customary brokerage commissions) charged by their broker.



Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)
Management Fees (comprehensive management fee)	0.70	%
Other Expenses	0.00	%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses	0.70	%

EXAMPLE

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The Example does not take into account brokerage commissions that you may pay when purchasing or selling Shares.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:



One Year	Three Years	Five Years	Ten Years
$72	$278	$501	$1,144

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 26% of the average value of its portfolio.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

The Fund, using a “passive” or “indexing” investment approach, seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before the Fund’s fees and expenses, of the China All-Cap Index. The China All-Cap Index is designed to measure and monitor the performance of the investable universe of publicly-traded companies based in mainland China (as classified by the S&P BMI County Code classification system). The Index was created by AlphaShares, LLC (“AlphaShares” or the “Index Provider”) and is maintained by Standard & Poor's. The Index includes equity securities of companies of all categories of market capitalizations, as defined by AlphaShares (subject to the minimum capitalization requirements set forth in the China All-Cap Index methodology).

The Index may include Hong Kong listed securities, including China H-shares and Red Chip shares. China H-shares are issued by companies incorporated in mainland China and listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Red Chip shares are issued by companies with controlling Chinese shareholders that are incorporated outside mainland China and listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The Index may also include N-Shares, which are issued by companies based in mainland China and listed on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”) or NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”). The Index does not include China A-Shares (which are subject to substantial restrictions on foreign

investment) or China B-Shares (which offer a generally smaller market and limited liquidity), each of which trade on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.

The Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in common stocks, American depositary receipts (“ADRs”), American depositary shares (“ADSs”), global depositary receipts (“GDRs”) and international depositary receipts (“IDRs”) that comprise the Index and depositary receipts or shares representing common stocks included in the Index (or underlying securities representing ADRs, ADSs, GDRs and IDRs included in the Index). The depositary receipts included in the Index may be sponsored or unsponsored. The Fund has adopted a policy that requires the Fund to provide shareholders with at least 60 days notice prior to any material change in this policy or the Index. The Board of Trustees (the "Board") of Claymore Exchange-Traded Fund Trust 2 (the “Trust”) may change the Fund’s investment strategy and other policies without shareholder approval, except as otherwise indicated.

The Fund may invest directly in one or more underlying securities represented by depositary receipts included in the Index under the following limited circumstances: (a) when market conditions result in the underlying security providing improved liquidity relative to the depositary receipt; (b) when a depositary receipt is trading at a significantly different price than its underlying security; or (c) the timing of trade execution is improved due to the local market in which an underlying security is traded being open at different times than the market in which the security’s corresponding depositary receipt is traded.

The Fund generally will invest in all of the securities comprising the Index in proportion to their weightings in the Index. However, under various circumstances, it may not be possible or practicable to purchase all of the securities in the Index in those weightings. In those circumstances, the Fund may purchase a sample of the securities in the Index in proportions expected by Guggenheim Funds Investment Advisors, LLC (the "Investment Adviser") to replicate generally the performance of the In dex as a whole. There may also be instances when the Investment Adviser may choose to overweight another security in the Index or purchase (or sell) securities not in the Index which the Investment Adviser believes are appropriate to substitute for one or more Index components, in seeking to accurately track the Index, such as: (i) regulatory requirements possibly affecting the Fund’s ability to hold a security in the Index, (ii) restrictions or requirements in local markets possibly rendering it infeasible or inefficient for the Fund to purchase or sell a security in the Index, or (iii) liquidity concerns possibly affecting the Fund’s ability to purchase or sell a security in the Index. In addition, from time to time securities are added to or removed from the Index. The Fund may sell securities that are represented in the Index or purchase securities that are not yet represented in the Index in anticipation of their removal from or addition to the Index pursuant to scheduled reconstitutions and rebalancings of the Index. The Fund will concentrate its investments (i.e., invest 25% or more of its assets) in securities issued by companies whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries to the extent the Index is so concentrated. As of August 31, 2016, the financial and telecommunications sectors each represented a substantial portion of the Index.

PRINCIPAL RISKS

Investors should consider the principal risks associated with investing in the Fund, which are summarized below. The value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund. The Fund may not achieve its investment objective.

Asset Class Risk —The securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform the returns of other securities or indices that track other industries, markets, asset classes or sectors.

China Investment Risk —Investing in securities of Chinese companies involves additional risks, including, but not limited to: the economy of China differs, often unfavorably, from the U.S. economy in such respects as structure, general development, government involvement, wealth distribution, rate of inflation, growth rate, allocation of resources and capital reinvestment, among others; the central government has historically exercised substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy through administrative regulation and/or state ownership; actions of the Chinese central and local government authorities continue to have a substantial effect on economic conditions in China (including both direct and indirect market stabilization efforts, which may affect valuations of Chinese issuers); and both interim and permanent market regulations may affect the ability of certain stockholders to sell Chinese securities when it would otherwise be advisable. In addition, the Chinese government has from time to time taken actions that influence the prices at which certain goods may be sold, encourage companies to invest or concentrate in particular industries, induce mergers between companies in certain industries and induce private companies to publicly offer their securities to increase or continue the rate of economic growth, control the rate of inflation or otherwise regulate economic expansion. It may do so in the

3 |

future as well, potentially having a significant adverse effect on economic conditions in China, the economic prospects for, and the market prices and liquidity of, the securities of Chinese companies and the payments of dividends and interest by Chinese companies.

Although the enactment of the Enterprise Income Tax Law, effective January 1, 2008, provided a 10% withholding tax upon Chinese non-residents with respect to capital gains, significant uncertainties remain regarding this law. Such uncertainties may result in capital gains imposed upon the Fund relative to companies headquartered, managed or listed in China. While the application and enforcement of this law to the Fund remains subject to clarification, to the extent that such taxes are imposed on any capital gains of the Fund relative to companies headquartered, managed or listed in China, the Fund’s net asset value ("NAV") or returns may be adversely impacted.

Concentration Risk —If the Index concentrates in an industry or group of industries, the Fund’s investments will be concentrated accordingly. In such event, the value of the Fund’s Shares may rise and fall more than the value of shares of a fund that invests in securities of companies in a broader range of industries.

Depositary Receipt Risk —The Fund may hold the securities of non-U.S. companies in the form of depositary receipts or ADSs. The underlying securities of the depositary receipts or shares in the Fund’s portfolio are subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates that may affect the value of the Fund’s portfolio. In addition, the value of the securities underlying the depositary receipts or shares may change materially when the U.S. markets are not open for trading. Investments in the underlying foreign securities also involve political and economic risks distinct from those associated with investing in the securities of U.S. issuers.

Equity Securities Risk —The prices of equity securities generally fluctuate in value more than fixed-income investments, may rise or fall rapidly or unpredictably and may reflect real or perceived changes in the issuing company’s financial condition and changes in the overall market or economy. A decline in the value of equity securities held by the Fund will adversely affect the value of your investment in the Fund. Common stocks generally represent the riskiest investment in a company and dividend payments (if declared) to preferred stockholders generally rank junior to payments due to a company's debtholders. The Fund may lose a substantial part, or even all, of its investment in a company’s stock.

Financial Sector Risk —The financial sector can be significantly affected by changes in interest rates, government regulation, the rate of defaults on corporate, consumer and government debt, the availability and cost of capital, and the impact of more stringent capital requirements. The Fund may be adversely affected by events or developments negatively impacting the financial sector or issuers within the financial sector.

Foreign Securities and Currency Risk —Foreign securities carry unique or additional risks when compared to U.S. securities, including currency fluctuations, adverse political and economic developments, unreliable or untimely information, less liquidity and more volatility, limited legal recourse and higher transactional costs.

Issuer-Specific Changes Risk —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.

Limited Exposure Risk —China A-Shares and China B-Shares are not eligible for inclusion in the Index, even if they would otherwise qualify under the other criteria set forth in the Index methodology. China A-Shares are subject to substantial restrictions on foreign investment, while the China B-Share market generally is smaller and offers less liquidity than the categories of securities which may be included in the Index. However, by excluding such shares from the Index, the exposure provided by the Index (and thus the Fund) to the Chinese presence in the sector may be more limited than would be the case if the Index included China A-Shares or China B-Shares.

(discount) or at their NAV. Thus, an investor may pay more than NAV when buying Shares in the secondary market and receive less than NAV when selling Shares in the secondary market.

Market Risk —The value of, or income generated by, the securities held by the Fund may fluctuate rapidly and unpredictably as a result of factors affecting individual companies or changing economic, political, social or financial market conditions throughout the world. The performance of these investments may underperform the general securities markets or other types of securities.

Micro-Cap Company Risk —Micro-cap stocks involve substantially greater risks of loss and price fluctuations because their earnings and revenues tend to be less predictable (and some companies may be experiencing significant losses), and their share prices tend to be more volatile and their markets less liquid than companies with larger market capitalizations.

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. In addition, the performance of the Fund and the Index may vary due to asset valuation differences and differences between the Fund's portfolio and the Index resulting from legal restrictions, cash flows or operational inefficiencies.

Non-Diversification Risk —The Fund is considered non-diversified because it may invest a large portion of its assets in a small number of issuers. As a result, the Fund is more susceptible to risks associated with those issuers and the Fund may experience greater losses and volatility than a more diversified portfolio.

Passive Management Risk —Unlike many investment companies, the Fund is not “actively” managed. Therefore, it would not necessarily sell a security because the security’s issuer was in financial trouble or defaulted on its obligations under the security, or whose credit rating was downgraded, unless that security is removed from the Index. In addition, the Fund will not otherwise take defensive positions in declining markets unless such positions are reflected in the Index.

Regulatory and Legal Risk —U.S. and non-U.S. governmental agencies and other regulators may implement additional regulations and legislators may pass new laws that affect the investments held by the Fund, the strategies used by the Fund or the level of regulation applying to the Fund. These may impact the investment strategies, performance, costs and operations of the Fund.

Risks of Investing in Hong Kong — The Fund’s investments which are listed and traded in Hong Kong may expose the Fund to certain legal, regulatory, political, currency and economic risks. China is Hong Kong’s largest trading partner, both in terms of exports and imports. Any changes in the Chinese economy, trade regulations or currency exchange rates may have an adverse impact on Hong Kong’s economy.

Small- and Mid-Capitalization Securities Risk —The Fund is subject to the risk that small- and mid-capitalization securities may underperform other segments of the equity market or the equity market as a whole. Securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies may be more speculative, volatile and less liquid than securities of larger companies. Small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to have inexperienced management as well as limited product and market diversification and financial resources, and may be more vulnerable to adverse developments than large capitalization companies.

Telecommunications Sector Risk —The telecommunications sector may be affected by extensive government regulation, industry competition and obsolescence of telecommunications products and services due to technological advancement. The Fund may be adversely affected by events or developments negatively impacting the telecommunications sector or issuers within the telecommunications sector.

PURCHASE AND SALE OF FUND SHARES

The Fund will issue and redeem Shares at NAV only in a large specified number of Shares called a “Creation Unit” or multiples thereof with certain large institutional investors . A Creation Unit consists of 100,000 Shares. Creation Unit transactions are principally conducted in exchange for the deposit or delivery of securities specified by the Fund . Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the Shares are not redeemable securities of the Fund. Individual Shares of the Fund may only be purchased and sold in secondary market transactions through brokers and may not be purchased or redeemed directly with the Fund . Shares of the Fund are listed for trading on NYSE Arca and, because Shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, Shares of the Fund may trade at a price greater than (premium) or less than (discount) NAV.

TAX INFORMATION

The Fund’s distributions are taxable and will generally be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains.

PAYMENTS TO BROKER-DEALERS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES

If you purchase Shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary, the Investment Adviser or other related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

The Fund, using a “passive” or “indexing” investment approach, seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before the Fund’s fees and expenses, of the Solar Index. As of November 30, 2016, the Solar Index was comprised of approximately 22 securities selected based on the relative importance of solar power within the company’s business model, as determined by MAC Indexing LLC (“MAC” or the “Index Provider”). The market capitalizations of securities included in the Index range from approximately $211 million to approximately $3.2 billion. The Index is designed to track companies within the following business segments of the solar energy industry: companies that produce solar power equipment and products for end-users, companies that produce fabrication products (such as the equipment used by solar cell and module producers to manufacture solar power equipment) or services (such as companies specializing in the solar cell manufacturing or the provision of consulting services to solar cell and module producers) for solar power equipment producers, companies that supply raw materials or components to solar power equipment producers or integrators; companies that derive a significant portion of their business from solar power system sales, distribution, installation, integration or financing; and companies that specialize in selling electricity derived from solar power. The Index is comprised of equity securities, including American depositary receipts (“ADRs”) and global depositary receipts (“GDRs”), traded in developed markets. The depositary receipts included in the Index may be sponsored or unsponsored. The Index Provider currently defines developed markets as the following countries – Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States. While the equity securities comprising the Index are traded in developed markets, the issuers of such securities may be located in emerging markets. Emerging market countries are countries that major international financial institutions, such as the World Bank, generally consider to be less economically mature than developed nations. Emerging market countries can include every nation in the world except the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and most countries located in Western Europe.

The Fund will invest at least 90% of its total assets in common stock, ADRs and GDRs that comprise the Index and depositary receipts representing common stocks included in the Index (or underlying securities representing ADRs and GDRs included in the Index). The Fund has adopted a policy that requires the Fund to provide shareholders with at least 60 days notice prior to any material change in this policy or the Index. The Board of Trustees (the "Board") of Claymore Exchange-Traded Fund Trust 2 (the "Trust") may change the Fund’s investment strategy and other policies without shareholder approval, except as otherwise indicated.

The Fund may invest directly in one or more underlying securities represented by the depositary receipts included in the Index under the following limited circumstances: (a) when market conditions result in the underlying security providing improved liquidity relative to the depositary receipt; (b) when a depositary receipt is trading at a significantly different price than its underlying security; or (c) the timing of trade execution is improved due to the local market in which an underlying security is traded being open at different times than the market in which the security’s corresponding depositary receipt is traded.

The Fund generally will invest in all of the securities comprising the Index in proportion to their weightings in the Index. However, under various circumstances, it may not be possible or practicable to purchase all of the securities in the Index in those weightings. In those circumstances, the Fund may purchase a sample of the securities in the Index in proportions expected by the Investment Adviser to replicate generally the performance of the Index as a whole. There may also be instances when the Investment Adviser may choose to overweight another security in the Index or purchase (or sell) securities not in the Index which the Investment Adviser believes are appropriate to substitute for one or more Index components, in seeking to accurately track the Index, such as: (i) regulatory requirements possibly affecting the Fund’s ability to hold a security in the Index, (ii) restrictions or requirements in local markets possibly rendering it infeasible or inefficient for the Fund to purchase or sell a security in the Index, or (iii) liquidity concerns possibly affecting the Fund’s ability to purchase or sell a security in the Index. In addition, from time to time securities are added to or removed from the Index. The Fund may sell securities that are represented in the Index or purchase securities that are not yet represented in the Index in anticipation of their removal from or addition to the Index pursuant to scheduled reconstitutions and rebalancings of the Index. The Fund will concentrate its investments (i.e., invest 25% or more of its assets) in securities issued by companies whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries to the extent the Index is so concentrated. As of August 31, 2016, the energy and industrials sectors each represented a substantial portion of the Index.

PRINCIPAL RISKS

Asset Class Risk —The securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform the returns of other securities or indices that track other industries, markets, asset classes or sectors.

Depositary Receipt Risk — The Fund may hold the securities of non-U.S. companies in the form of depositary receipts. The underlying securities of the depositary receipts in the Fund’s portfolio are subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates that may affect the value of the Fund’s portfolio. In addition, the value of the securities underlying the depositary receipts or shares may change materially when the U.S. markets are not open for trading. Investments in the underlying foreign securities also involve political and economic risks distinct from those associated with investing in the securities of U.S. issuers.

Energy Sector Risk —The energy sector is often cyclical and highly dependent on commodities prices. Securities prices for companies in the energy sector may be affected by a variety of factors, including, among others, worldwide energy prices, exploration costs, energy conservation efforts, changes in currency exchange rates, government regulation and market, economic and political risks of the countries where energy companies are located or do business. The Fund may be adversely affected by events or developments negatively impacting the energy sector or commodities issuers within the energy sector.

Equity Securities Risk — The prices of equity securities generally fluctuate in value more than fixed-income investments, may rise or fall rapidly or unpredictably and may reflect real or perceived changes in the issuing company’s financial condition and changes in the overall market or economy. A decline in the value of equity securities held by the Fund will adversely affect the value of your investment in the Fund. Common stocks generally represent the riskiest investment in a company and dividend payments (if declared) to preferred stockholders generally rank junior to payments due to a company's debtholders. The Fund may lose a substantial part, or even all, of its investment in a company’s stock.

Foreign Securities and Currency Risk —Foreign securities carry unique or additional risks when compared to U.S. securities, including currency fluctuations, adverse political and economic developments, unreliable or untimely information, less liquidity, limited legal recourse and higher transactional costs.

Industrials Sector Risk —The industrials sector may be adversely affected by supply and demand for products and services, product obsolescence, claims for environmental damage and product liability, imposition of import controls and general economic conditions, among other factors. The Fund may be adversely affected by events or developments negatively impacting the industrials sector or issuers within the industrials sector.

PROSPECTUS | 16

Market Risk — The value of, or income generated by, the securities held by the Fund may fluctuate rapidly and unpredictably as a result of factors affecting individual companies or changing economic, political, social or financial market conditions throughout the world. The performance of these investments may underperform the general securities markets or other types of securities.

Regulatory and Legal Risk — U.S. and non-U.S. governmental agencies and other regulators may implement additional regulations and legislators may pass new laws that affect the investments held by the Fund, the strategies used by the Fund or the level of regulation applying to the Fund. These may impact the investment strategies, performance, costs and operations of the Fund.

Solar Energy Company Risk — The value of stocks that comprise the energy sector and the prices of energy may decline. The alternative energy industry can be significantly affected by obsolescence of existing technology, short product lifecycles, falling prices and profits, competition from new market entrants and general economic conditions. This industry can also be significantly affected by fluctuations in energy prices and supply and demand of alternative energy fuels, energy conservation, the success of exploration projects, tax incentives, subsidies and other government regulations and policies. Companies in this industry may be adversely affected by commodity price volatility, changes in exchange rates, imposition of import controls, availability of certain inputs and materials required for production, depletion of resources, technological developments and labor relations. Recently, the price of oil has declined significantly and experienced significant volatility, which may materially impact companies operating in the solar energy sector. Shares of companies involved in the solar energy sector have historically been more volatile than shares of companies operating in more established industries.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

The Fund, using a “passive” or “indexing” investment approach, seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before the Fund’s fees and expenses, of the Water Index. At each rebalancing the Water Index is comprised of 50 equity securities selected, based on investment and other criteria, from a universe of companies listed on global developed market exchanges. Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC, a subsidiary of The McGraw-Hill Companies ("S&P"), generally defines “developed markets” as the capital markets of those countries with high levels of per capita income and strict market regulation resulting in greater transparency. Specifically, all or any subset of the following countries/regions are currently considered to be developed markets — Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States. The universe of companies includes all companies classified by Standard & Poor's Global Industry Classifications as being associated (in a manner representing a major component of such companies’ business) with the global demand for water, including water utilities, infrastructure, equipment, instruments and materials. Total market capitalization and float-adjusted market capitalization of securities in the Index must be at least $250 million and $100 million, respectively, at the time of each reconstitution, which includes small-, mid-, and large-capitalization securities as defined by S&P. The companies in the universe are selected using criteria as identified by S&P.

The Fund will invest at least 90% of its total assets in common stock and American depositary receipts (“ADRs”) that comprise the Index and depositary receipts representing common stocks included in the Index (or underlying securities representing ADRs included in the Index). The depositary receipts included in the Index may be sponsored or unsponsored. The Fund has adopted a policy that requires the Fund to provide shareholders with at least 60 days notice prior to any material change in this policy or the Index. The Board of Trustees (the "Board") of Claymore Exchange-Traded Fund Trust 2 (the "Trust") may change the Fund’s investment strategy and other policies without shareholder approval, except as otherwise indicated.

The Fund generally will invest in all of the securities comprising the Index in proportion to their weightings in the Index. However, under various circumstances, it may not be possible or practicable to purchase all of the securities in the Index in those weightings. In those circumstances, the Fund may purchase a sample of the securities in the Index in proportions expected by the Investment Adviser to replicate generally the performance of the Index as a whole. There may also be instances when the Investment Adviser may choose to overweight another security in the Index or purchase (or sell) securities not in the Index which the Investment Adviser believes are appropriate to substitute for one or more Index components, in seeking to accurately track the Index, such as: (i) regulatory requirements possibly affecting the Fund’s ability to hold a security in the Index, (ii) restrictions or requirements in local markets possibly rendering it infeasible or inefficient for the Fund to purchase or sell a security in the Index, or (iii) liquidity concerns possibly affecting the Fund’s ability to purchase or sell a security in the Index. In addition, from time to time securities are added to or removed from the Index. The Fund may sell securities that are represented in the Index or purchase securities that are not yet represented in the Index in anticipation of their removal from or addition to the Index pursuant to scheduled reconstitutions and rebalancings of the Index. The Fund will concentrate its investments (i.e., invest 25% or more of its assets) in securities issued by companies whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries to the extent the Index is so concentrated. As of August 31, 2016, the industrials and utilities sectors each represented a substantial portion of the Index.

PRINCIPAL RISKS

Asset Class Risk —The securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform the returns of other securities or indices that track other industries, markets, asset classes or sectors.

21 |

Equity Securities Risk — The prices of equity securities generally fluctuate in value more than fixed-income investments, may rise or fall rapidly or unpredictably and may reflect real or perceived changes in the issuing company’s financial condition and changes in the overall market or economy. A decline in the value of equity securities held by the Fund will adversely affect the value of your investment in the Fund. Common stocks generally represent the riskiest investment in a company and dividend payments (if declared) to preferred stockholders generally rank junior to payments due to a company's debtholders. The Fund may lose a substantial part, or even all, of its investment in a company’s stock.

Foreign Securities and Currency Risk —Foreign securities carry unique or additional risks when compared to U.S. securities, including currency fluctuations, adverse political and economic developments, unreliable or untimely information, less liquidity, limited legal recourse and higher transactional costs.

Market Risk — The value of, or income generated by, the securities held by the Fund may fluctuate rapidly and unpredictably as a result of factors affecting individual companies or changing economic, political, social or financial market conditions throughout the world. The performance of these investments may underperform the general securities markets or other types of securities.

PROSPECTUS | 22

Regulatory and Legal Risk — U.S. and non-U.S. governmental agencies and other regulators may implement additional regulations and legislators may pass new laws that affect the investments held by the Fund, the strategies used by the Fund or the level of regulation applying to the Fund. These may impact the investment strategies, performance, costs and operations of the Fund.

Utilities Sector Risk —Stock prices for companies in the utilities sector are affected by supply and demand, operating costs, government regulation, environmental factors, liabilities for environmental damage and general civil liabilities and rate caps or rate changes. Certain utility companies have experienced full or partial deregulation in recent years. Deregulation may permit certain utility companies to earn more than their traditional regulated rates of return; however, some deregulated companies face greater competition and may be forced to defend their core business and may be less profitable. The Fund may be adversely affected by events or developments negatively impacting the utilities sector or issuers within the utilities sector.

Water-Related Company Risk — Adverse developments related to water-related companies may significantly affect the value of the securities held by the Fund. In particular, water-related companies can be affected by technological changes, climactic events, environmental considerations, water conservation, taxes, additional government regulation, including the increased cost of compliance, inflation, an increase in the cost of raw materials, an increase in interest rates and changes in consumer sentiment and spending.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

The Fund, using a “passive” or “indexing” investment approach, seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before the Fund’s fees and expenses, of the Infrastructure Index. The Infrastructure Index is designed to measure and monitor the performance of 50 high-yielding global equity securities of companies that engage in various infrastructure-related sub-industries. Index constituents must meet size, listing and liquidity requirements and also be part of the S&P Global BMI Index, which is a rules-based index that measures global stock market performance.

Index constituents must be equity securities of companies classified in one of the infrastructure clusters (the “Infrastructure Clusters”) determined by the S&P Dow Jones Index Group, based on the Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”®) sub-industry classifications as follows:

Energy Infrastructure Cluster:

Oil & Gas Storage & Transportation Sub-Industry

Transportation Infrastructure Cluster:

26 |

Airport Services Sub-Industry

Highway & Railtracks Sub-Industry

Marine Ports & Services Sub-Industry

Utilities Infrastructure Cluster:

Electric Utilities Sub-Industry

Gas Utilities Sub-Industry

Multi Utilities Sub-Industry

Water Utilities Sub-Industry

Securities in the Infrastructure Clusters must have a float-adjusted market capitalization (i.e., a market capitalization that is calculated based on the number of shares that are readily available in the market rather than all shares outstanding) greater than $250 million, a three-month average daily value traded of $1 million or higher and be listed on a developed market stock exchange. The top 50 highest-yielding securities that meet these criteria (ranked by 12-month dividend yield) are selected for inclusion in the Infrastructure Index.

The Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in common stocks that comprise the Index and depositary receipts representing common stocks included in the Index. The Fund has adopted a policy that requires the Fund to provide shareholders with at least 60 days notice prior to any change in this policy or a material change to the Index. The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Claymore Exchange-Traded Fund Trust 2 (the “Trust”) may change the Fund’s investment strategy and other policies without shareholder approval, except as otherwise indicated.

The Fund generally will invest in all of the securities comprising the Index in proportion to their weightings in the Index. However, under various circumstances, it may not be possible or practicable to purchase all of the securities in the Index in those weightings. In those circumstances, the Fund may purchase a sample of the securities in the Index in proportions expected by the Investment Adviser to replicate generally the performance of the Index as a whole. There may also be instances when the Investment Adviser may choose to overweight another security in the Index or purchase (or sell) securities not in the Index which the Investment Adviser believes are appropriate to substitute for one or more Index components, in seeking to accurately track the Index, such as: (i) regulatory requirements possibly affecting the Fund’s ability to hold a security in the Index, (ii) restrictions or requirements in local markets possibly rendering it infeasible or inefficient for the Fund to purchase or sell a security in the Index, or (iii) liquidity concerns possibly affecting the Fund’s ability to purchase or sell a security in the Index. In addition, from time to time securities are added to or removed from the Index. The Fund may sell securities that are represented in the Index or purchase securities that are not yet represented in the Index in anticipation of their removal from or addition to the Index pursuant to scheduled reconstitutions and rebalancings of the Index. The Fund will concentrate its investments (i.e., invest 25% or more of its assets) in securities issued by companies whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries to the extent the Index is so concentrated. As of August 31, 2016, the utilities, energy and industrials sectors each represented a substantial portion of the Index.

for trading. Investments in the underlying foreign securities also involve political and economic risks distinct from those associated with investing in the securities of U.S. issuers.

Equity Securities Risk — The prices of equity securities generally fluctuate in value more than fixed-income investments, may rise or fall rapidly or unpredictably and may reflect real or perceived changes in the issuing company’s financial condition and changes in the overall market or economy. A decline in the value of equity securities held by the Fund will adversely affect the value of your investment in the Fund. Common stocks generally represent the riskiest investment in a company and dividend payments (if declared) to preferred stockholders generally rank junior to payments due to a company's debtholders. The Fund may lose a substantial part, or even all, of its investment in a company’s stock.

Foreign Securities and Currency Risk —Foreign securities carry unique or additional risks when compared to U.S. securities, including currency fluctuations, adverse political and economic developments, unreliable or untimely information, less liquidity, limited legal recourse and higher transactional costs.

Infrastructure Risk — Companies within one of the Infrastructure Clusters that comprise the Index are subject to a variety of factors that may adversely affect their business or operations, including high interest costs in connection with capital construction and improvement programs, high leverage, costs associated with compliance with and changes in environmental and other regulations, difficulty in raising capital in adequate amounts and on reasonable terms in periods of high inflation and unsettled capital markets or government budgetary constraints that impact publicly funded projects, the effects of economic slowdown or recession and surplus capacity, increased competition from other providers of services, uncertainties concerning the availability of fuel at reasonable prices, the effects of energy conservation policies and other factors.

Market Risk — The value of, or income generated by, the securities held by the Fund may fluctuate rapidly and unpredictably as a result of factors affecting individual companies or changing economic, political, social or financial market conditions throughout the world. The performance of these investments may underperform the general securities markets or other types of securities.

differences and differences between the Fund's portfolio and the Index resulting from legal restrictions, cash flows or operational inefficiencies.

Regulatory and Legal Risk — U.S. and non-U.S. governmental agencies and other regulators may implement additional regulations and legislators may pass new laws that affect the investments held by the Fund, the strategies used by the Fund or the level of regulation applying to the Fund. These may impact the investment strategies, performance, costs and operations of the Fund.

As of the date of this Prospectus, the Fund has not yet completed a full calendar year of investment operations. When the Fund has completed a full calendar year of investment operations, this section will include charts that show annual total returns, highest and lowest quarterly returns and average annual total returns (before and after taxes) compared to the Index and a broad measure of market performance.

Additional Information Regarding Investment Objectives and Strategies

The Board may change a Fund's investment objective and strategies at any time without shareholder approval. A Fund will provide written notice to shareholders prior to, or concurrent with, any such change as required by applicable law. Should a Fund with a name suggesting a specific type of investment or industry change its policy of investing at least 80% of its assets (net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in the type of investment or industry suggested by its name, the Fund will provide shareholders at least 60 days' notice prior to making the change. As with any investment, there can be no guarantee a Fund will achieve its investment objective.

The Funds’ investment policies, limitations and other guidelines typically apply at the time an investment is made. As a result, a Fund generally may continue to hold positions that met a particular investment policy or limitation at the time the investment was made but subsequently do not meet the investment policy or limitation.

The Funds are subject to certain investment policy limitations referred to as “fundamental policies.” The full text of each Fund’s fundamental policies is included in the Statement of Additional Information ("SAI").

INDEX METHODOLOGY

AlphaShares China All Cap Index

The Index was created by AlphaShares and is designed to measure and monitor the performance of publicly issued common equity securities of publicly-traded companies based in mainland China. Proprietary and third-party financial and economic information and research are utilized to: (1) identify potential Index constituents and verify that such companies are based in mainland China; and (2) calculate the number of shares of each potential Index constituent outstanding, adjusted for free-float, for usage in the modified float-adjusted market capitalization weighting methodology. To ensure adequate liquidity, constituents must have a float-adjusted market capitalization of $500 million or greater for initial inclusion in the Index. A float-adjusted market capitalization of $400 million or greater is required for ongoing inclusion in the Index. The Index is rebalanced and reconstituted annually. The AlphaShares Index Committee meets annually to review the Index methodology. Any changes to the methodology will be publicly disclosed at least 10 business days prior to implementation of the change.

AlphaShares China Technology Index

The Index was created by AlphaShares and is designed to measure and monitor the performance of publicly issued common equity securities of publicly-traded companies based in mainland China, Hong Kong or Macau in the GICS Information Technology Sector. Proprietary and third-party financial and economic information and research are utilized to: (1) identify potential Index constituents and verify that such companies are based in mainland China, Hong Kong or Macau; and (2) calculate the number of shares of each potential Index constituent outstanding, adjusted for free-float, for usage in the modified float-adjusted market capitalization weighting methodology. To ensure adequate liquidity, constituents must have a market capitalization of $200 million or greater for initial inclusion in the Index. A market capitalization of $150 million or greater at the time of each rebalance is required for ongoing inclusion in the Index. The Index is rebalanced semi-annually and reconstituted annually. The AlphaShares Index Committee meets annually to review the Index methodology. Any changes to the methodology will be publicly disclosed at least 10 business days prior to implementation of the change.

MAC Global Solar Energy Index

The Index is designed to track companies within the following business segments of the solar power industry: solar power equipment producers; suppliers of materials or services to solar equipment producers; companies that derive a significant portion of their business, measured by the methodology set forth below, from solar power system installation, integration or finance; and companies that specialize in selling electricity derived from solar power. As defined by the Index Provider, solar power includes two main categories:


1.	Solar photovoltaic power, which involves the conversion of sunlight into electricity through the photovoltaic process; and

31 |


2.	Thermal solar power, which involves using energy from the sun to heat fluids for purposes of water or space heating or to produce electricity.

As of November 30, 2016, the Index was comprised of approximately 22 securities selected based upon the relative importance of solar power within the company’s business model. To determine whether solar power is a major component of a company’s business, the Index Provider implements the following methodology.


1.	All global publicly-traded companies with any connection to the solar industry are identified by company description database searches and bottom-up industry research of publicly available information and databases.


2.	Based on a review of the company’s public filings and company description companies that are identified through the initial search are put into groups (the “Exposure Factor”):


•	Pure-Play Group—Companies that generate in excess of two thirds of their revenue from solar related business are considered to have their primary business in the solar industry and are placed in the Pure-Play Group. These are assigned an Exposure Factor of 1.0.


•	Medium-Play Group—Companies that operate in multiple industries, but have significant exposure to the solar industry-defined as generating less than approximately two thirds but more than approximately one third of their revenue from solar related business-are placed in the Medium-Play Group. These are assigned an Exposure Factor of 0.5.


•	Eliminated Group—Companies with marginal exposure to the solar industry-defined as generating less than approximately one third of their revenue from solar related business-are eliminated from consideration as an Index constituent.

From the securities in the Pure-Play Group and Medium-Play Group, securities eligible for inclusion in the Index that are not existing constituents of the Index must be listed on a developed market exchange, as defined above, have a minimum capitalization greater than or equal to $150 million at the reference date preceding each reconstitution and have a minimum one month average daily trading of $750,000 at the reference date preceding each reconstitution. Securities in Pure-Play Group and Medium-Play Group set that do not meet these criteria are excluded from consideration as an Index constituent. Securities that are already in the Index are not subject to the minimum market capitalization and trading value to remain constituents of the Index.

S&P Global Water Index

The Index is comprised of 50 securities selected based on the relative importance of the global water industry within the company’s business model. The Index is designed to have a balanced representation from different segments of the water industry consisting of the following two clusters: 25 water utilities and infrastructure companies (water supply, water utilities, waste water treatment, water, sewer and pipeline construction, water purification, water well drilling, water testing) and 25 water equipment and materials companies (water treatment chemicals, water treatment appliances, pumps and pumping equipment, fluid power pumps and motors, plumbing equipment, plumbing pipes, fluid meters and counting devices) based upon S&P’s Capital IQ (“CIQ”) business development and segment breakdown. To determine whether global demand for water is a major component of a company’s business, the Index Provider implements the following methodology:


1.	All companies in the CIQ database with the term “water” in their business are identified.


2.	From the resulting list, companies not belonging to the two clusters of the industry set forth earlier in this paragraph are excluded.


3.	Based on a review of CIQ business description and industry classification, are put into three groups:


•	Primary Set—Companies whose primary businesses are in the water industry. These are assigned an Exposure Score of 1.


•	Secondary Set—Companies which operate in multiple industries, but have significant exposure to the water industry. These are assigned an Exposure Score of 0.5.

PROSPECTUS | 32


•	Eliminated Set—Companies with marginal exposure to the water industry. These are assigned an Exposure Score of 0 and eliminated from consideration as Index constituents.

To ensure investability, a developed market listing and a minimum total market capitalization and float-adjusted market capitalization of at least $250 million and $100 million, respectively, is required. The Index is rebalanced semi-annually. A maximum weight in the Index is set to 10% for each stock.

S&P High Income Infrastructure Index

The Index is designed to measure and monitor the performance of 50 high-yielding global equity securities of companies that engage in various infrastructure-related sub-industries. Index constituents must meet size, listing and liquidity requirements and also be part of the S&P Global BMI Index, which is a rules-based index that measures global stock market performance. The Index employs a yield-weighted methodology that weights all constituents by their twelve month dividend yield over the prior twelve months. The Index was created by the S&P Dow Jones Index Group and is maintained by S&P Dow Jones Indices, LLC.

INDEX CONSTRUCTION

AlphaShares China All Cap Index

Securities that meet the following criteria will be included in the Index:


1.	Chinese Companies. Only companies based in mainland China are eligible for inclusion in the Index. For purposes of the Index, companies are considered to be based in mainland China if they are so classified under the S&P BMI Country Code classification system.


2.	Investability. To ensure adequate investability, only shares open to foreign ownership that meet the criteria below are eligible for inclusion:


a.	China A-shares are not eligible.


b.	China B-shares are not eligible.


c.	Hong Kong listed securities including China H-shares and Red Chips are eligible.


d.	N-Shares trading in New York and their equivalents trading in other foreign markets are eligible.


3.	Equity Securities. Only publicly issued common equity securities trading on a major exchange are eligible for inclusion in the Index. Debt or quasi-debt securities, such as convertible securities, are not eligible for inclusion.


4.	Depositary Receipts. ADRs, ADSs, GDRs and IDRs are eligible for inclusion in the Index.

Market Capitalization. The Index will include equity securities of companies of all capitalizations, subject to the requirements below. To ensure adequate liquidity, constituents must have a float-adjusted market capitalization of $500 million or greater for initial inclusion in the Index. A float-adjusted market capitalization of $400 million or greater at the time of each rebalance is required for ongoing inclusion in the Index.


6.	Weighting Methodology. The Index uses a modified float-adjusted market capitalization weighting methodology to weight individual positions. At the time of each rebalance, the weight of any one sector (based on Standard & Poor's Global Industry Classification Standard) cannot be greater than 35% of the Index and the weight of any one position cannot be greater than 5.0% of the Index.

Rebalancing. Except in unusual circumstances (including, but not limited to, mergers, spin-offs, delisting, tender offers or the acquisition or bankruptcy of the company), the Index is rebalanced and reconstituted annually. Initial public offerings that meet all the eligibility criteria and fall within the top twenty stocks by capitalization of the Index will be added. Any addition will be funded on a pro-rata basis from the remainder of the Index, net of any deletions. A security will be deleted from the Index immediately due to bankruptcy, acquisition, delisting or merger of the company by or into another company, spin-offs, tender offers or other similar corporate actions. At each quarter end, any security which has been continuously suspended or halted since the prior quarter will be deleted from the index at zero value. In the case of such deletions, including any relisting of suspended securities, no replacements will be made until the annual rebalance. Any proceeds

33 |

resulting from the deletions will be invested on a pro-rata basis over the remainder of the Index, net of any additions.

AlphaShares China Technology Index

Securities that meet the following criteria will be included in the Index:


1.	Chinese Companies.


a.	Companies based in mainland China, Hong Kong or Macau are eligible for inclusion in the Index. For purposes of the Index, companies are considered to be based in mainland China, Hong Kong or Macau if they are so classified under the S&P BMI Country Code classification system.


b.	In addition to the foregoing criteria, companies based in Hong Kong or Macau are only eligible for inclusion in the Index if they derive a majority of their revenue from mainland China, Hong Kong or Macau. If geographic revenue data is not available for these companies or is inconclusive, they cannot be included in the Index.


2.	Technology. Only companies in the GICS Information Technology Sector are eligible for inclusion in the Index.


3.	Investability. To ensure adequate investability, only shares open to foreign ownership that meet the criteria below are eligible for inclusion:


a.	China A-shares are not eligible.


b.	China B-shares are not eligible.


c.	Hong Kong listed securities including China H-shares and Red Chips are eligible.


d.	N-Shares trading in New York and their equivalents trading in other foreign markets are eligible.


4.	Equity Securities. Only publicly issued common equity securities trading on a major exchange are eligible for inclusion in the Index. Debt or quasi-debt securities, such as convertible securities, are not eligible for inclusion.


5.	Depositary Receipts. ADRs, ADSs, GDRs and IDRs are eligible for inclusion in the Index if they meet the other eligibility criteria set forth in this section.

Market Capitalization. The Index will include equity securities of companies of all categories of market capitalizations, subject to the requirements below. To ensure adequate liquidity, constituents must have a float-adjusted market capitalization of $200 million or greater for initial inclusion in the Index. A float-adjusted market capitalization of $150 million or greater at the time of each rebalance is required for ongoing inclusion in the Index.

Target Weights. The Index uses a modified float-adjusted market capitalization weighting methodology to weight individual positions. The Index employs a two-tier weighting system with the target weight of any one position limited to a maximum of either 10.0% or 4.0% of the Index at the time of each rebalance. To determine the target weights, all positions whose float-cap adjusted weights are over 5% are added together. If the total is greater than 40%, then the highest weighted position is capped at 10%. The excess weight is then applied on a pro-rata basis to all the remaining Index constituents and the process is then repeated, if necessary, with the next largest stock being capped at 9% (8% and so on) until the 40% is reached. The 4.0% maximum target weight is then applied to all the remaining Index constituents. Once set, target weights are free to float due to market actions.

Rebalancing. Except in unusual circumstances (including, but not limited to, delistings, mergers, spin-offs, or the acquisition or bankruptcy of the company), the Index is rebalanced semi-annually and reconstituted annually. The AlphaShares Index Committee will meet annually to review the Index methodology. Any changes to the methodology will be publicly disclosed at least 10 days prior to the implementation of the change. Initial public offerings that meet all the eligibility criteria and fall within the top twenty stocks by capitalization of the Index will be added. Any addition will be funded on a pro-rata basis from the remainder of the Index, net of any deletions. A security will be deleted from the Index immediately due to bankruptcy, acquisition, delisting or merger of the company by or into another company, spin-offs, tender offers or other

PROSPECTUS | 34

similar corporate actions. At each quarter end, any security which has been continuously suspended or halted since the prior quarter will be deleted from the Index at zero value. In the case of such deletions, including any relisting of suspended securities, no replacements will be made until the annual rebalance. Any proceeds resulting from the deletions will be invested on a pro-rata basis over the remainder of the Index, net of any additions.

MAC Global Solar Energy Index


1.	The weighting of Index constituents on the rebalancing and reconstitution date is determined as follows:


a.	The float-adjusted market capitalization for each security is multiplied by its Exposure Factor of either 1.0 and 0.5, meaning the market capitalization for the securities in the Pure-Play Group is taken at full value and for the Medium-Play Group is reduced by one half.


b.	The resulting adjusted market capitalizations are used to create a standard market capitalization weighted index with raw weighting factors.

If necessary, the raw weighting factors are modified through a weighting-gap rebalancing algorithm to ensure that, at the time of rebalancing and reconstitution, no security in the Index has an individual weighting greater than 10% and that the aggregate weighting of securities in the Index with individual weightings of more than 4.5% is no more than 45.0% of the total Index. The weighting-gap rebalancing algorithm progressively reduces the weighting gap between adjacent securities, as ranked by their raw weighting factors, on a proportional basis, until the weighting parameters specified above are met. The Index Provider may reduce the weight of a stock if necessary to ensure that the effective ownership share of that stock stays within regulatory and liquidity boundaries.

If an index constituent is determined to be delisted; under a trading suspension or halt; illiquid; in bankruptcy proceedings; acquired; or in extreme legal, regulatory or financial distress, that constituent may be removed from the index effective immediately and the stock will not be replaced. A spin-off from an existing Index constituent will automatically be included in the index if it meets the standard Index criteria, but will be dropped from the Index as soon as is reasonably practicable if the spun-off company does not meet the standard Index constituent criteria.


3.	A company that recently completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) and that meets the criteria above can be considered for inclusion as an Index constituent only at the quarterly Index rebalance and reconstitution, and only after the security has completed at least one (1) month of trading history.

Except in unusual circumstances (including, but not limited to, mergers, spin-offs, delisting, tender offers or the acquisition or bankruptcy of a company), the Index will be rebalanced and reconstituted quarterly on the third Friday of the last month of each calendar quarter, with a reference date for the data being the first business day of the last month of the calendar quarter. At the quarterly Index reconstitution:


a.	securities may be added or deleted as Index constituents according to the criteria defined above,


b.	the Exposure Factor may change based on a shift in a company’s relative exposure to the solar industry, and


c.	constituent weightings may be adjusted to reflect a change in the Exposure Factor for a particular stock, the addition or deletion of Index constituents and/or the need to meet the specified weighting requirements.

S&P Global Water Index


1.	All companies in S&P’s CIQ industry classification involved in the water industry are identified by S&P Dow Jones’ Indices and scored based on relative exposure in the manner set forth above and classified into one of two clusters.


2.	The companies are screened for those with a developed market listing and a total market capitalization and float-adjusted market capitalization of at least $250 million and $100 million, respectively.

35 |


3.	25 of the largest companies from each of the following two clusters: water utilities and infrastructure companies and water equipment and materials companies, are selected based on a proprietary scoring metric that defines the relative exposure to the global water industry.


4.	The Index uses a modified market cap weighting methodology. No single stock may have a weight of more than 10%.


5.	Companies that are acquired or delisted are deleted throughout the year. There are no intra-reconstitution additions.


6.	The Index is reconstituted semi-annually effective after the close of business of the third Fridays of April and October of each year, with a reference date for the data being the third Friday of the previous March and September, respectively.

Guggenheim S&P High Income Infrastructure ETF


1.	Parent Index and Listing Requirements. Eligible securities must be components of the S&P Global BMI Index that are listed on a developed stock exchange.


2.	Infrastructure Company Exposure. Eligible securities must be equity securities of companies classified in one of the Infrastructure Clusters. The Infrastructure Clusters are formed based on the GICS sub-industry classifications as follows.

Energy Cluster:

Oil & Gas Storage & Transportation Sub-Industry

Transportation Cluster:

Airport Services Sub-Industry

Highway & Railtracks Sub-Industry

Marine Ports & Services Sub-Industry

Utilities Cluster:

3.	Market Capitalization. Securities must have float adjusted market capitalization of $250 million and above as of the reference date.


4.	Liquidity. Securities must have a three-month average daily value traded of $1 million or higher as of the reference date.


5.	High Yield Securities. The top 50 highest yielding securities (based on their 12-month dividend yield over the prior 12 months at the most recent Index rebalancing date) that meet the requirements described above form the Index.


6.	Weighting Methodology. Index constituents are weighted based on their twelve-month dividend yield over the prior twelve months. The maximum weight of a particular security is 5% of the Index and the maximum weight of each Infrastructure Cluster is 50% of the Index.

Chinese Company Exposure. The Index may include Hong Kong listed securities, including China H-shares. China H-shares are issued by companies incorporated in mainland China and listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The Index does not currently include China A-Shares (which are subject to substantial restrictions on foreign investment) or China B-Shares (which offer a generally smaller market and limited liquidity), each of which trade on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.

Reconstitution and Rebalance. S&P Dow Jones Indices, LLC, the Index Administrator, reconstitutes the Index on a semi-annual basis. The reference dates are the last trading days of June and December. Changes are effective after the close of the third Friday following the reference date. New securities will be added to the Index if they meet the eligibility requirements described above. Any additions will be funded on a pro-rata

PROSPECTUS | 36

basis from the remainder of the Index, net of deletions. Securities will be deleted from the Index if they no longer meet the eligibility requirements described above.

The Index will be rebalanced semi-annually to accommodate any additions or deletions to the Index and to enforce the target weights as described above. Once set, either initially or at a semi-annual rebalance, target weights are free to float due to market actions.


9.	Index Methodology Changes. The Index Committee meets semi-annually to review the methodology. Any changes to the methodology will be publicly disclosed five days prior to implementation. All methodology changes, as well as the current version of the methodology, are available at www.spdji.com.

NON-PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

As non-principal investment strategies, each Fund may invest up to 20% ( 10% with respect to the Guggenheim S&P Global Water Index ETF and Guggenheim Solar ETF) of its total assets in securities not included in its respective Index, money market instruments (including repurchase agreements or money market funds), convertible securities, structured notes (notes on which the amount of principal repayment and interest payments are based on the movement of one or more specified factors, such as the movement of a particular stock or stock index) and in swaps, options and futures contracts. Swaps, options and futures contracts (and convertible securities and structured notes) may be used by a Fund in seeking performance that corresponds generally to its respective Index (whether by giving exposure to the Index as a whole or to certain specific Index components in lieu of the Fund holding such Index components directly) and in managing cash flows, but will not be used for hedging purposes. The Investment Adviser anticipates that it may take approximately five business days (i.e., each day the NYSE Arca is open) for additions and deletions to each Fund’s Index to be reflected in the portfolio composition of the Fund.

Each Fund may borrow money from a bank up to a limit of 10% of the value of its assets, but only for temporary or emergency purposes.

Each Fund may lend its portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions desiring to borrow securities to complete transactions and for other purposes. In connection with such loans, each Fund receives liquid collateral equal to at least the value of the portfolio securities being lent. This collateral is marked to market on a daily basis. Each Fund may lend its portfolio securities in an amount up to 33 1 / 3 % of its total assets. Securities lending is not a principal investment strategy of the Funds.

Descriptions of Risks

An investment or type of security specifically identified in the Prospectus generally reflects a principal investment. The Funds also may invest in or use certain other types of investments and investing techniques that are described in the SAI. An investment or type of security only identified in the SAI typically is treated as a non-principal investment. Additional information on the principal risks and certain non-principal risks of the Funds is described below. Not all of the risks are principal risks for each Fund. The fact that a particular risk was not indicated as a principal risk for a Fund does not mean that the Fund is prohibited from investing its assets in securities that give rise to that risk. It simply means that the risk is not a principal risk for that Fund. Although the Funds will not generally trade for short-term profits, circumstances (e.g., a rebalancing of a Fund's Index) may warrant a sale without regard to the length of time a security was held. A high turnover rate may increase transaction costs, which decreases the value of investments and may result in additional taxable gains for Shares held through a taxable account.

In addition, investors should note that the Fund reserves the right to cease operations and liquidate at any time without shareholder approval or to merge or reorganize itself without shareholder approval unless otherwise required by applicable law.

Asset Class Risk —The securities in a Fund’s portfolio may underperform the returns of other securities or indices that track other industries, markets, asset classes or sectors. Different types of securities and indices tend to go through different performance cycles than the general securities market.

37 |

China Investment Risk (Guggenheim China All-Cap ETF and Guggenheim China Technology ETF only) —Investing in securities of Chinese companies involves additional risks, including, but not limited to: the economy of China differs, often unfavorably, from the U.S. economy in such respects as structure, general development, government involvement, wealth distribution, rate of inflation, growth rate, allocation of resources and capital reinvestment, among others; the central government has historically exercised substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy through administrative regulation and/or state ownership; actions of the Chinese central and local government authorities continue to have a substantial effect on economic conditions in China (including both direct and indirect market stabilization efforts, which may affect valuations of Chinese issuers); and both interim and permanent market regulations may affect the ability of certain stockholders to sell Chinese securities when it would otherwise be advisable. In addition, the Chinese government has from time to time taken actions that influence the prices at which certain goods may be sold, encourage companies to invest or concentrate in particular industries, induce mergers between companies in certain industries and induce private companies to publicly offer their securities to increase or continue the rate of economic growth, control the rate of inflation or otherwise regulate economic expansion. It may do so in the future as well, potentially having a significant adverse effect on economic conditions in China, the economic prospects for, and the market prices and liquidity of, the securities of Chinese companies and the payments of dividends and interest by Chinese companies.

Political and Economic Risk —The Chinese economy, which has been in a state of transition from a planned economy to a more market oriented economy, differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including the level of government involvement, its state of development, its growth rate, control of foreign exchange, and allocation of resources. Although the majority of productive assets in China are still owned by the Chinese government at various levels, in recent years, the Chinese government has implemented economic reform measures emphasizing utilization of market forces in the development of the Chinese economy and a high level of management autonomy. The Chinese economy has experienced significant growth in the past 30 years, but growth has been uneven both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. Economic growth has also been accompanied by periods of high inflation. The Chinese government has implemented various measures from time to time to control inflation and restrain the rate of economic growth.

For more than 30 years, the Chinese government has carried out economic reforms to achieve decentralization and utilization of market forces to develop the Chinese economy. These reforms have resulted in significant economic growth and social progress. However, there can be no assurance that the Chinese government will continue to pursue such economic policies or that such policies, if pursued, will be successful. Any adjustment and modification of those economic policies may have an adverse impact on the securities market in Chinese as well as the constituent securities of the Underlying Index. Further, the Chinese government may from time to time adopt corrective measures to control the growth of the Chinese economy which may also have an adverse impact on the capital growth and performance of the Funds.

Political changes, social instability and adverse diplomatic developments in China could result in the imposition of additional government restrictions including expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxes or nationalization of some or all of the property held by the issuers in the Underlying Index. The laws, regulations, government policies and political and economic climate in China may change with little or no advance notice. Any such change could adversely affect market conditions and the performance of the Chinese economy and, thus, the value of securities in a Fund’s portfolio.

The Chinese government continues to be an active participant in many economic sectors through ownership positions and regulation. The allocation of resources in China is subject to a high level of government control. The Chinese government strictly regulates the payment of foreign currency denominated obligations and sets monetary policy. Through its policies, the government may provide preferential treatment to particular industries or companies. The policies set by the government could have a substantial effect on the Chinese economy and a Fund’s investments.

The Chinese economy is export-driven and highly reliant on trade. The performance of the Chinese economy may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in such respects as growth of gross domestic product, rate of inflation, currency depreciation, capital reinvestment, resource self-sufficiency and balance of payments position. Adverse changes to the economic conditions of its primary trading partners, such as the EU, the United States, Hong Kong, the Association of South East Asian Nations, and Japan, would adversely affect the Chinese economy and a Fund’s investments.

PROSPECTUS | 38

In addition, as much of China’s growth over the past two decades has been a result of significant investment in substantial export trade, international trade tensions may arise from time to time which can result in trade tariffs, embargoes, trade limitations, trade wars and other negative consequences. These consequences may trigger a significant reduction in international trade, the oversupply of certain manufactured goods, substantial price reductions of goods and possible failure of individual companies and/or large segments of China’s export industry with a potentially severe negative impact to a Fund. Events such as these are difficult to predict and may or may not occur in the future.

China has been transitioning to a market economy since the late seventies, and has only recently opened up to foreign investment and permitted private economic activity. Under the economic reforms implemented by the Chinese government, the Chinese economy has experienced tremendous growth, developing into one of the largest and fastest growing economies in the world. There is no assurance, however, that the Chinese government will not revert to the economic policy of central planning that it implemented prior to 1978 or that such growth will be sustained in the future. Moreover, the current major slowdown in other significant economies of the world, such as the United States, the EU and certain Asian countries, may adversely affect economic growth in China. An economic downturn in China would adversely impact a Fund’s investments.

Inflation —Economic growth in China has historically been accompanied by periods of high inflation. Beginning in 2004, the Chinese government commenced the implementation of various measures to control inflation, which included the tightening of the money supply, the raising of interest rates and more stringent control over certain industries. If these measures are not successful, and if inflation were to steadily increase, the performance of the Chinese economy and a Fund’s investments could be adversely affected.

Nationalization and Expropriation —After the formation of the Chinese socialist state in 1949, the Chinese government renounced various debt obligations and nationalized private assets without providing any form of compensation. There can be no assurance that the Chinese government will not take similar actions in the future. Accordingly, an investment in a Fund involves a risk of a total loss.

Hong Kong Policy —As part of Hong Kong’s transition from British to Chinese sovereignty in 1997, China agreed to allow Hong Kong to maintain a high degree of autonomy with regard to its political, legal and economic systems for a period of at least 50 years. China controls matters that relate to defense and foreign affairs. Under the agreement, China does not tax Hong Kong, does not limit the exchange of the Hong Kong dollar for foreign currencies and does not place restrictions on free trade in Hong Kong. However, there is no guarantee that China will continue to honor the agreement, and China may change its policies regarding Hong Kong at any time. Any such change could adversely affect market conditions and the performance of the Chinese economy and, thus, the value of securities in a Fund’s portfolio.

Chinese Securities Markets —The securities markets in China have a limited operating history and are not as developed as those in the United States. The markets tend to be smaller in size, have less liquidity and historically have had greater volatility than markets in the United States and some other countries. In addition, under normal market conditions, there is less regulation and monitoring of Chinese securities markets and the activities of investors, brokers and other participants than in the United States. Accordingly, issuers of securities in China are not subject to the same degree of regulation as are U.S. issuers with respect to such matters as insider trading rules, tender offer regulation, stockholder proxy requirements and the requirements mandating timely disclosure of information. During periods of significant market volatility, the Chinese government has, from time to time, intervened in its domestic securities markets to a greater degree than would be typical in more developed markets. Stock markets in China are in the process of change and further development. This may lead to trading volatility, difficulty in the settlement and recording of transactions and difficulty in interpreting and applying the relevant regulations.

Available Disclosure About Chinese Companies —Disclosure and regulatory standards in emerging market countries, such as China, are in many respects less stringent than U.S. standards. There is substantially less publicly available information about Chinese issuers than there is about U.S. issuers. Therefore, disclosure of certain material information may not be made, and less information may be available to a Fund and other investors than would be the case if a Fund’s investments were restricted to securities of U.S. issuers.

39 |

Chinese issuers are subject to accounting, auditing and financial standards and requirements that differ, in some cases significantly, from those applicable to U.S. issuers. In particular, the assets and profits appearing on the financial statements of a Chinese issuer may not reflect its financial position or results of operations in the way they would be reflected had such financial statements been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

Chinese Corporate and Securities Law —Legal principles relating to corporate affairs and the validity of corporate procedures, directors’ fiduciary duties and liabilities and stockholders’ rights often differ from those that may apply in the United States and other countries. Chinese laws providing protection to investors, such as laws regarding the fiduciary duties of officers and directors, are undeveloped and will not provide investors, such as the Funds, with protection in all situations where protection would be provided by comparable law in the United States. China lacks a national set of laws that address all issues that may arise with regard to a foreign investor such as the Funds. It may therefore be difficult for a Fund to enforce its rights as an investor under Chinese corporate and securities laws, and it may be difficult or impossible for a Fund to obtain a judgment in court. Moreover, as Chinese corporate and securities laws continue to develop, these developments may adversely affect foreign investors, such as the Funds.

Sanctions and Embargoes —From time to time, certain of the companies in which a Fund expects to invest may operate in, or have dealings with, countries subject to sanctions or embargoes imposed by the U.S. government and the United Nations and/or countries identified by the U.S. government as state sponsors of terrorism. A company may suffer damage to its reputation if it is identified as a company which operates in, or has dealings with, countries subject to sanctions or embargoes imposed by the U.S. government and the United Nations and/or countries identified by the U.S. government as state sponsors of terrorism. As an investor in such companies, a Fund will be indirectly subject to those risks.

Concentration Risk —If a Fund’s Index concentrates in an industry or group of industries, a Fund’s investments will be concentrated accordingly. In such event, the value of a Fund’s Shares may rise and fall more than the value of shares of a fund that invests in securities of companies in a broader range of industries.

Depositary Receipt Risk —A Fund may hold the equity securities of non-U.S. companies in the form of one or more of the following types of depositary receipts: ADRs, ADSs, GDRs and IDRs. ADRs are negotiable certificates issued by a U.S. financial institution that represent a specified number of shares in a foreign stock and trade on a U.S. national securities exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange. Holders of certain depositary receipts may have limited voting rights and may not have the same rights typically afforded to shareholders in the event of a corporate action and may experience difficulty in receiving company stockholder communications. A Fund will primarily invest in sponsored ADRs, which are issued with the support of the issuer of the foreign stock underlying the ADRs and carry all of the rights of common shares, including voting rights. ADSs are U.S. dollar-denominated equity share of a foreign-based company available for purchase on a U.S. national securities exchange. GDRs or IDRs are similar to ADRs, but may be issued in bearer form and are typically offered for sale globally and held by a foreign branch of an international bank. The underlying securities of the depositary receipts in a Fund’s portfolio are usually denominated or quoted in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. As a result, changes in foreign currency exchange rates may affect the value of a Fund’s portfolio. Generally, when the U.S. Dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, a security denominated in that currency loses value because the currency is worth fewer U.S. Dollars. In addition, because the underlying securities of depositary receipts trade on foreign exchanges at times when the U.S. markets are not open for trading, the value of the securities underlying the depositary receipts may change materially at times when the U.S. markets are not open for trading, regardless of whether there is an active U.S. market for shares of a Fund. Depositary receipts are generally subject to the same risks as the foreign securities that they evidence or into which they may be converted.

Energy Sector Risk (Guggenheim Solar ETF and Guggenheim S&P High Income Infrastructure ETF only) —The energy sector is often cyclical and highly dependent on commodities prices. Securities prices for companies in the energy sector may be affected by a variety of factors related to worldwide energy prices, exploration costs, energy conservation efforts and production spending. The performance of these companies and the prices of these securities are subject to changes in currency exchange rates, government regulation, world events and weather, depletion of natural resources and economic conditions, as well as market, economic and political risks of the countries where energy companies are located or do business. Securities of energy companies may be subject to swift price and supply fluctuations as a result of these events, which may adversely affect the Fund. Oil and gas exploration and production can be significantly affected by natural disasters. Companies in the energy sector may

PROSPECTUS | 40

be at an increased risk of civil liability and environmental damage claims, and are also subject to the risk of loss from terrorism.

Equity Securities Risk —A Fund may invest in equity securities, which include common stocks (and may include other equity securities), and the prices of equity securities generally fluctuate in value more than other investments. The price of equity securities may rise or fall rapidly or unpredictably and may reflect real or perceived changes in the issuing company’s financial condition and changes in the overall market or economy. Price movements in equity securities may result from factors or events affecting individual issuers, industries or the market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. In addition, equity markets tend to move in cycles that may cause downward price movements over prolonged periods if time. Common stocks generally represent the riskiest investment in a company. If the prices of the equity securities held by a Fund fall, the value of your investment in a Fund will be adversely affected. A Fund may lose a substantial part, or even all, of its investment in a company’s stock.

Financial Sector Risk (Guggenheim China All-Cap ETF only) —The financial sector can be significantly affected by changes in interest rates, government regulation, the rate of defaults on corporate, consumer and government debt, the availability and cost of capital, and the impact of more stringent capital requirements. Financial services companies are subject to extensive governmental regulation which may limit both the amounts and types of loans and other financial commitments they can make, the interest rates and fees they can charge, the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds, and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition. The Fund may be adversely affected by events or developments negatively impacting the financial sector. For example, events in the financial sector may cause an unusually high degree of volatility in the financial markets, both domestic and foreign, and cause certain financial services companies to incur losses.

Foreign Securities and Currency Risk —Investing in foreign investments, including investing in foreign securities through depositary receipts, involves certain special or additional risks, including, but not limited to: (i) unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates; (ii) adverse political and economic developments; (iii) unreliable or untimely information; (iv) limited legal recourse; (v) limited markets; (vi) higher operational expenses; and (vii) illiquidity. These investments are subject to additional risks, including: differing reporting, accounting, and auditing standards; nationalization, expropriation, or confiscatory taxation; foreign currency fluctuations, currency blockage, or replacement; potential for default on sovereign debt; or diplomatic developments, which may include the imposition of economic sanctions or other measures by the U.S. or other governments and supranational organizations. These risks may even be higher in underdeveloped or emerging markets. The less developed a country's securities market is, the greater the level of risks. A Fund considers a security to be a foreign security if the issuer is organized under the laws of a foreign country or is a foreign government, or a sub-division or agency of such government, or the security is traded in markets outside the United States.

Foreign investments are normally issued and traded in foreign currencies. As a result, their values may be affected by changes in the exchange rates between particular foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. Foreign investments may be subject to the risks of seizure by a foreign government, imposition of restrictions on the exchange or transport of foreign currency, and tax increases. There may also be less information publicly available about a foreign company than about most U.S. companies, and foreign companies are usually not subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and practices comparable to those in the United States. The legal remedies for investors in foreign investments may be more limited than those available in the United States and a Fund may have limited or no legal recourse with respect to foreign securities. Certain foreign investments may be less liquid (harder to buy and sell) and more volatile than domestic investments, which means a Fund may at times be unable to sell its foreign investments at desirable prices. For the same reason, a Fund may at times find it difficult to value its foreign investments. Brokerage commissions and other fees are generally higher for foreign investments than for domestic investments. The procedures and rules for settling foreign transactions may also involve delays in payment, delivery or recovery of money or investments. Foreign withholding taxes may reduce the amount of income available to distribute to shareholders of a Fund.

Industrials Sector Risk ( Guggenheim Solar ETF, Guggenheim S&P Global Water Index ETF and Guggenheim S&P High Income Infrastructure ETF only) —The prices of securities of companies in the industrials sector are affected by supply and demand both for their specific product or service and for industrials sector products in general, which may be cyclical. The products of manufacturing companies may face product obsolescence due to rapid

41 |

technological developments and frequent new product introduction. Government regulation, world events and economic conditions may affect the performance of companies in the industrials sector. Companies in the industrials sector may be at risk for environmental damage and product liability claims and may be adversely affected by changes or trends in commodity prices, imposition of import controls, labor relations and insurance costs.

Infrastructure Risk (Guggenheim S&P High Income Infrastructure ETF only) — Companies within one of the Infrastructure Clusters that comprise the Index are subject to a variety of factors that may adversely affect their business or operations, including high interest costs in connection with capital construction and improvement programs, high leverage, costs associated with compliance with and changes in environmental and other regulations, difficulty in raising capital in adequate amounts and on reasonable terms in periods of high inflation and unsettled capital markets or government budgetary constraints that impact publicly funded projects, the effects of economic slowdown or recession and surplus capacity, increased competition from other providers of services, uncertainties concerning the availability of fuel at reasonable prices, the effects of energy conservation policies and other factors.

Other factors that may affect the operations of companies within an Infrastructure Cluster include innovations in technology that could render the way in which a company delivers a product or service obsolete, significant changes to the number of ultimate end-users of a company’s products, inexperience with and potential losses resulting from a developing deregulatory environment, increased susceptibility to terrorist attacks, risks of environmental damage due to a company’s operations or an accident, and general changes in market sentiment towards infrastructure and utilities assets. Companies operating in an Infrastructure Cluster face operating risks, including the risk of fire, explosions, leaks, mining and drilling accidents or other catastrophic events. In addition, natural risks, such as earthquakes, floods, lightning, hurricanes, tsunamis and wind, are inherent risks in infrastructure company operations.

Market Price Risk —Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca and are bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The market prices of Shares may fluctuate continuously during trading hours, in some cases materially, in response to changes in the NAV and supply and demand for Shares, among other factors. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares typically will remain closely correlated to the NAV, the market price will generally differ from the NAV because of timing reasons, supply and demand imbalances and other factors. As a result, the trading prices of Shares may deviate significantly from NAV during certain periods, especially those of market volatility. The Investment Adviser cannot predict whether Shares will trade above (premium), below (discount) or at their NAV. Thus, an investor may pay more than NAV when buying Shares in the secondary market and receive less than NAV when selling Shares in the secondary market. Given the fact that Shares can be created and redeemed in Creation Units, the Investment Adviser believes that large discounts or premiums to the NAV of Shares should not be sustained in the long-term. However, a Fund may have a limited number of financial institutions that may act as “Authorized Participants” or market markers. Only Authorized Participants who have entered into agreements with a Fund’s distributor may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with a Fund (as described under “How to Buy and Sell Shares”). If some or all of these Authorized Participants exit the business or are unable to process creation and/or redemption orders, and no other Authorized Participant is able to create and redeem in either of these cases, Shares may trade at a discount to NAV like closed-end fund shares (and may even face delisting). Similar effects may result if market makers exit the business or are unable to continue making markets in the Shares. Further, while the creation/redemption feature is designed to make it likely that Shares normally will trade at prices closely correlated to a Fund’s next calculated NAV, disruptions to creations and redemptions, including disruptions at market makers, Authorized Participants or market participants, or during periods of significant market volatility, among other factors, may result in market prices that differ significantly from NAV. Although market makers will generally take advantage of differences between the NAV and the market price of Shares through arbitrage opportunities, there is no guarantee that they will do so. Further, the securities held by a Fund may be traded in markets that close at a different time than the NYSE Arca. Liquidity in those securities may be reduced after the applicable closing times. Accordingly, during the time when NYSE Arca is open but after the applicable market closing, fixing or settlement times, bid-ask spreads and the resulting premium or discount to the Shares' NAV is likely to widen. In addition, secondary markets may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid-ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods, which could cause a material decline in the NAV and/or market prices for Shares. The bid-ask spread is generally larger during periods

PROSPECTUS | 42

of lower than regular trading volume in Shares or reduced market liquidity and can increase significantly during periods of market disruption or steep declines, which may be the time an investor most wants to sell its Shares. A Fund’s bid-ask spread may also be impacted by the liquidity of the underlying securities held by a Fund, particularly for newly launched or smaller funds or in instances of significant volatility of the underlying securities. A Fund’s investment results are measured based upon the daily NAV of the Shares. Investors purchasing and selling Shares in the secondary market may not experience investment results consistent with those experienced by Authorized Participants creating and redeeming directly with a Fund.

Market Risk —The value of, or income generated by, the securities held by a Fund are subject to the possibility of rapid and unpredictable fluctuation. The value of certain securities (e.g., equity securities) tends to fluctuate more dramatically over the shorter term than do the value of other asset classes. These movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, or from broader influences, including real or perceived changes in prevailing interest rates, changes in inflation or expectations about inflation, investor confidence or economic, political, social or financial market conditions that may be temporary or last for extended periods. Different sectors, industries and security types may react differently to such developments and, when the market performs well, there is no assurance that the securities held by a Fund will increase in value along with the broader markets. For example, the value of a Fund’s investments in securities or other instruments may be particularly susceptible to changes in commodity prices. As a result, a change in commodity prices may adversely affect the Fund’s investments. Volatility of financial markets can expose a Fund to greater market risk, possibly resulting in reduced liquidity. Moreover, changing economic, political, social or financial market conditions in one country or geographic region could adversely affect the market value of the securities held by a Fund in a different country or geographic region because of the increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets. The Investment Adviser potentially will be prevented from executing investment decisions at an advantageous time or price as a result of any domestic or global market disruptions, particularly disruptions causing heightened market volatility and reduced market liquidity. Changes or disruptions in market conditions also may lead to increased regulation of a Fund and the instruments in which a Fund may invest, which may, in turn, affect the Fund’s ability to pursue its investment objective and the Fund’s performance. In general, the securities or other instruments represented in a Fund's Index or in which a Fund seeks to invest may be unavailable entirely or in the specific quantities sought by the Fund. As a result, a Fund may need to obtain the desired exposure through a less advantageous investment or forgo the investment at the time. This may adversely affect a Fund and increase the Fund's Index tracking error.

Micro-Cap Company Risk (Guggenheim China All-Cap ETF, Guggenheim China Technology ETF and Guggenheim Solar ETF only) —Micro-cap stocks involve substantially greater risks of loss and price fluctuations because their earnings and revenues tend to be less predictable (and some companies may be experiencing significant losses), and their share prices tend to be more volatile and their markets less liquid than companies with larger market capitalizations. Micro-cap companies may be newly formed or in the early stages of development, with limited product lines, markets or financial resources and may lack management depth. In addition, there may be less public information available about these companies. The shares of micro-cap companies tend to trade less frequently than those of larger, more established companies, which can adversely affect the pricing of these securities and the future ability to sell these securities. Also, it may take a long time before a Fund realizes a gain, if any, on an investment in a micro-cap company.

Non-Correlation Risk —A Fund’s return may not match the return of its Index for a number of reasons. For example, a Fund incurs a number of operating expenses not applicable to the Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing a Fund’s securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of the Index. In addition, the performance of a Fund and its Index may vary due to asset valuation differences and differences between a Fund's portfolio and the Index resulting from legal restrictions, cash flows or operational inefficiencies. An Index is not required to apply fair valuation to its constituents, but a Fund may apply fair valuation to its portfolio securities in certain situations, which may lead to increased differences between a Fund’s performance and that of its Index.

Due to legal and regulatory rules and limitations, a Fund may not be able to invest in all securities included in its Index. For tax efficiency purposes, a Fund may sell certain securities to realize losses, causing it to deviate from the Index.

A Fund may not be fully invested at times, either as a result of cash flows into a Fund or reserves of cash held by a Fund to meet redemptions and expenses. If a Fund utilizes a sampling approach, or otherwise holds investments

43 |

other than those which comprise the Index, its return may not correlate as well with the return of its Index, as would be the case if it purchased all of the securities in the Index with the same weightings as its Index.

Non-Diversification Risk —A Fund is considered non-diversified because it may invest a large portion of its assets in a small number of issuers. As a result, a Fund is more susceptible to risks associated with those issuers and a Fund may experience greater losses and volatility than a more diversified portfolio.

Passive Management Risk (All Funds except Guggenheim S&P High Income Infrastructure ETF) —Unlike many investment companies, a Fund is not “actively” managed. Therefore, it would not necessarily sell a security because the security’s issuer was in financial trouble or defaulted on its obligations under the security, or whose credit rating was downgraded, unless that security is removed from the Index. In addition, a Fund will not otherwise take defensive positions in declining markets unless such positions are reflected in the Index.

Regulatory and Legal Risk —U.S. and non-U.S. governmental agencies and other regulators may implement additional regulations and legislators may pass new laws that affect the investments held by a Fund, the strategies used by a Fund or the level of regulation applying to a Fund. These may impact the investment strategies, performance, costs and operations of a Fund.

Risks of Investing in Hong Kong (Guggenheim China All-Cap ETF and Guggenheim China Technology ETF only) —A Fund’s investments which are listed and traded in Hong Kong may expose the Fund to certain legal, regulatory, political, currency and economic risks. China is Hong Kong’s largest trading partner, both in terms of exports and imports. Any changes in the Chinese economy, trade regulations or currency exchange rates may have an adverse impact on Hong Kong’s economy. Hong Kong reverted to Chinese sovereignty on July 1, 1997 as a Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China under the principle of “one country, two systems.” Although China is obligated to maintain the current capitalist economic and social system of Hong Kong through June 30, 2047, the continuation of economic and social freedoms enjoyed in Hong Kong is dependent on the government of China. There is no guarantee that China will continue to honor Hong Kong’s autonomy, and China may change its policies regarding Hong Kong at any time. Any attempt by China to tighten its control over Hong Kong’s political, economic or social policies may result in an adverse effect on Hong Kong’s economy. Hong Kong is located in a part of the world that has historically been prone to natural disasters such as earthquakes and flooding and is economically sensitive to environmental events. Any such event could result in a significant adverse impact on the Hong Kong economy.

Small- and Mid-Capitalization Securities Risk —A Fund may be subject to the risk that small- and mid-capitalization securities may underperform other segments of the equity market or the equity market as a whole. Securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies may experience much more price volatility, greater spreads between their bid and ask prices and significantly lower trading volumes than securities issued by large, more established companies. Accordingly, it may be difficult for a Fund to sell small- and mid-capitalization securities at a desired time or price. Small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to have inexperienced management as well as limited product and market diversification and financial resources. Small- and mid-capitalization companies have more speculative prospects for future growth, sustained earnings and market share than large companies, and may be more vulnerable to adverse economic, market or industry developments than large capitalization companies.

Solar Energy Company Risk (Guggenheim Solar ETF only) — The value of stocks that comprise the energy sector and the prices of energy may decline. The alternative energy industry can be significantly affected by obsolescence of existing technology, short product lifecycles, falling prices and profits, competition from new market entrants and general economic conditions. This industry can also be significantly affected by fluctuations in energy prices and supply and demand of alternative energy fuels, energy conservation, the success of exploration projects, tax incentives, subsidies and other government regulations and policies. Companies in this industry may be adversely affected by commodity price volatility, changes in exchange rates, imposition of import controls, availability of certain inputs and materials required for production, depletion of resources, technological developments and labor relations.

Solar energy companies are particularly affected by government subsidies and regulation. If government subsidies and economic incentives for solar power are reduced or eliminated, the demand for solar energy may decline and cause corresponding declines in the revenues and profits of solar energy companies. Existing regulations and policies, and changes to such regulations and policies, may present technical, regulatory and economic barriers to the purchase and use of solar power products, thus reducing demand for such products. If solar power technology

PROSPECTUS | 44

is not suitable for widespread adoption, or sufficient demand for solar power products does not develop or takes long periods of time to develop, the revenues of solar power companies may decline.

Recently, the price of oil has declined significantly and experienced significant volatility, which may materially impact companies operating in the solar energy sector. Shares of companies involved in the solar energy sector have historically been more volatile than shares of companies operating in more established industries. Certain valuation methods currently used to value companies involved in the solar energy sector have not been in widespread use for a significant period of time. As a result, the use of these valuation methods may serve to further increase the volatility of certain solar energy company share prices.

Technology Sector Risk ( Guggenheim China Technology ETF only) —Companies in the rapidly changing field of technology often face unusually high price volatility, both in terms of gains and losses. The potential for wide variation in performance is based on the special risks common to these stocks. For example, products or services that at first appear promising may not prove commercially successful or may become obsolete quickly. Earnings disappointments can result in sharp price declines. The level of risk will be increased to the extent that a Fund has significant exposure to smaller or unseasoned companies (those with less than a three-year operating history), which may not have established products or more experienced management. Companies in the technology sector may also be subject to competition from new market entrants. Such companies also may be subject to risks relating to research and development costs and the availability and price of components.

Telecommunications Sector Risk (Guggenheim China All-Cap ETF and Guggenheim China Technology ETF only) — The telecommunications sector is subject to extensive government regulation. The costs of complying with governmental regulations, delays or failure to receive required regulatory approvals or the enactment of new adverse regulatory requirements may adversely affect the business of the telecommunications companies. The telecommunications sector can also be significantly affected by intense competition, including competition with alternative technologies such as wireless communications, product compatibility, consumer preferences, rapid obsolescence and research and development of new products. Other risks include those related to regulatory changes, such as the uncertainties resulting from such companies’ diversification into new domestic and international businesses, as well as agreements by any such companies linking future rate increases to inflation or other factors not directly related to the actual operating profits of the enterprise.

Utilities Sector Risk (Guggenheim S&P Global Water Index ETF and Guggenheim S&P High Income Infrastructure ETF only) —The rates that traditional regulated utility companies may charge their customers generally a re subject to review and limitation by governmental regulatory commissions. Although rate changes of a utility usually fluctuate in approximate correlation with financing costs due to political and regulatory factors, rate changes ordinarily occur only following a delay after the changes in financing costs. This factor will tend to favorably affect a regulated utility company’s earnings and dividends in times of decreasing costs, but conversely, will tend to adversely affect earnings and dividends when costs are rising. The value of regulated utility debt securities (and, to a lesser extent, equity securities) tends to have an inverse relationship to the movement of interest rates. Certain utility companies have experienced full or partial deregulation in recent years. These utility companies are frequently more similar to industrial companies in that they are subject to greater competition and have been permitted by regulators to diversify outside of their original geographic regions and their traditional lines of business. These opportunities may permit certain utility companies to earn more than their traditional regulated rates of return. Some companies, however, may be forced to defend their core business and may be less profitable.

Among the risks that may affect utility companies are the following: risks of increases in fuel and other operating costs; the high cost of borrowing to finance capital construction during inflationary periods; restrictions on operations and increased costs and delays associated with compliance with environmental and nuclear safety regulations; and the difficulties involved in obtaining natural gas for resale or fuel for generating electricity at reasonable prices. Other risks include those related to the construction and operation of nuclear power plants, the effects of energy conservation and the effects of regulatory changes.

Water-Related Company Risk (Guggenheim S&P Global Water Index ETF only) — Water-related companies may be adversely affected by technological changes, climactic events, environmental considerations, water conservation, taxes, additional government regulation, including the increased cost of compliance, inflation, an increase in the cost of raw materials, an increase in interest rates and changes in consumer sentiment and spending. Companies engaged in the water industry may be subject to liability for environmental damage, depletion of resources, conflicts with local communities over water rights and mandated expenditures for safety and pollution control.

45 |

Competition between water companies and government regulation of water companies, including regulation of the rates that the companies may charge, both domestically and internationally, may adversely affect the earnings of the companies in this industry.

In addition to the principal risks described previously, there are certain other non-principal risks applicable to a Funds. The additional risks include the following:

Derivatives Risk —Derivatives may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other investments, including risks relating to leverage, imperfect correlations with underlying investments or a Fund’s other portfolio holdings, high price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty credit, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions. Their use is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. If the Investment Adviser is incorrect about its expectations of market conditions, the use of derivatives could also result in a loss, which in some cases may be unlimited. Some of the derivatives in which a Fund invests are traded (and privately negotiated) in the over-the-counter ("OTC") market. OTC derivatives are subject to heightened credit, liquidity and valuation risks. For derivatives traded on an exchange or through a central counterparty, a Fund is subject to the credit risk of the clearing broker or clearinghouse. Certain derivatives are subject to mandatory exchange trading and/or clearing. Central clearing is intended to reduce counterparty credit risk and is intended to increase liquidity but does not make derivatives transactions risk-free. Certain risks also are specific to the derivatives in which a Fund invests.

Swap Agreements Risk —Swap agreements are contracts among a Fund and a counterparty to exchange the return of the pre-determined underlying investment (such as the rate of return of the underlying index). Swap agreements may be negotiated bilaterally and traded OTC between two parties or, in some instances, must be transacted through a futures commission merchant and cleared through a clearinghouse that serves as a central counterparty. Risks associated with the use of swap agreements are different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions, due in part to the fact they could be considered illiquid and many swaps trade on the OTC market. Swaps are particularly subject to counterparty credit, correlation, valuation, liquidity and leveraging risks. Certain standardized swaps are subject to mandatory central clearing. Central clearing is intended to reduce counterparty credit risk and increase liquidity, but central clearing does not make swap transactions risk-free.

Futures Contracts Risk —Futures contracts are typically exchange-traded contracts that call for the future delivery of an asset at a certain price and date, or cash settlement of the terms of the contract. Risks of futures contracts may be caused by an imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the instruments and the price of the underlying securities. In addition, there is the risk that a Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market. Exchanges can limit the number of positions that can be held or controlled by a Fund or the Investment Adviser, thus limiting the ability to implement a Fund’s strategies. Futures markets are highly volatile and the use of futures may increase the volatility of a Fund’s NAV. Futures are also subject to leverage risks and to liquidity risk.

Options Risk —Options or options on futures contracts give the holder of the option the right to buy (or to sell) a position in a security or in a contract to the writer of the option, at a certain price. They are subject to correlation risk because there may be an imperfect correlation between the options and the securities markets that cause a given transaction to fail to achieve its objectives. The successful use of options depends on the Investment Adviser’s ability to predict correctly future price fluctuations and the degree of correlation between the options and securities markets. Exchanges can limit the number of positions that can be held or controlled by a Fund or the Investment Adviser, thus limiting the ability to implement a Fund’s strategies. Options are also particularly subject to leverage risk and can be subject to liquidity risk.

Participation Notes —Participation notes are issued by banks or broker-dealers and are designed to offer a return linked to the performance of a particular underlying equity security or market. Participation notes can have the characteristics or take the form of various instruments, including, but not limited to, certificates or warrants. The holder of a participation note that is linked to a particular underlying security is entitled to receive any dividends paid in connection with the underlying security. However, the holder of a participation note generally does not receive voting rights as it would if it directly owned the underlying security. A Fund may invest in a participation note as an alternative to investing directly in the underlying security, in circumstances where the Investment Adviser determines that investing in the participation note will enable a Fund to track its Index more efficiently (such as where, in the Investment Adviser’s determination, the participation note offers greater liquidity than the

PROSPECTUS | 46

underlying security and/or may reduce a Fund’s tracking error against its Index due to additional costs involved with holding the underlying security directly). Participation notes constitute direct, general and unsecured contractual obligations of the banks or broker-dealers that issue them, which therefore subject a Fund to counterparty risk, as discussed below.

Investments in participation notes involve certain risks in addition to those associated with a direct investment in the underlying foreign companies or foreign securities markets whose return they seek to replicate. For instance, there can be no assurance that the trading price of a participation note will equal the underlying value of the foreign company or foreign securities market that it seeks to replicate. As the purchaser of a participation note, a Fund is relying on the creditworthiness of the counterparty issuing the participation note and has no rights under a participation note against the issuer of the underlying security. Therefore, if such counterparty were to become insolvent, a Fund would lose its investment. The risk that a Fund may lose its investments due to the insolvency of a single counterparty may be amplified to the extent a Fund purchases participation notes issued by one issuer or a small number of issuers. Participation notes also include transaction costs in addition to those applicable to a direct investment in securities. In addition, a Fund’s use of participation notes may cause a Fund’s performance to deviate from the performance of the portion of its Index to which a Fund is gaining exposure through the use of participation notes.

Due to liquidity and transfer restrictions, the secondary markets on which participation notes are traded may be less liquid than the markets for other securities, which may lead to the absence of readily available market quotations for securities in a Fund’s portfolio. The ability of a Fund to value its securities becomes more difficult and the judgment in the application of fair value procedures may play a greater role in the valuation of a Fund’s securities due to reduced availability of reliable objective pricing data. Consequently, while such determinations will be made in good faith, it may nevertheless be more difficult for a Fund to accurately assign a daily value to such securities.

Trading Issues —Trading in Shares on the NYSE Arca may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the NYSE Arca, make trading in Shares inadvisable. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for the Shares will develop or be maintained. In addition, trading in Shares on the NYSE Arca is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to the NYSE Arca “circuit breaker” rules. If a trading halt or unanticipated early closing of the NYSE Arca occurs, a shareholder may be unable to purchase or sell Shares when desired. There can be no assurance that the requirements of the NYSE Arca necessary to maintain the listing of a Funds will continue to be met or will remain unchanged or that Shares will trade with any volume, or at all, in any secondary market. As with other exchange traded securities, Shares may be sold short and may experience increased volatility and price decreases associated with such trading activity.

Securities Lending —Securities lending involves a risk that the borrower may fail to return the securities or deliver the proper amount of collateral, which may result in a loss to a Fund. In the event of bankruptcy of the borrower, a Fund could experience losses or delays in recovering the loaned securities.

Risks Relating to Calculation of NAV —A Fund relies on various sources to calculate its NAV. Therefore, a Fund is subject to certain operational risks associated with reliance on third party service providers and data sources. NAV calculation may be impacted by operational risks arising from factors such as failures in systems and technology. Such failures may result in delays in the calculation of a Fund’s NAV and/or the inability to calculate NAV over extended time periods. A Fund may be unable to recover any losses associated with such failures.

Leverage —To the extent that each Fund borrows money in the limited circumstances described under “Non-Principal Investment Strategies” above, it may be leveraged. Leveraging generally exaggerates the effect on NAV of any increase or decrease in the market value of a Fund’s portfolio securities. Borrowing expenses are excluded from the Fund expenses borne by the Investment Adviser under the unitary management fee or from applicable fee waivers or expense limitation agreements.

Investment in Investment Companies Risk ( Guggenheim S&P High Income Infrastructure ETF only )—Investing in other investment companies, including ETFs and closed-end funds, subjects the Fund to those risks affecting the investment company, including the possibility that the value of the underlying securities held by the investment company could decrease or the portfolio becomes illiquid. Moreover, the Fund and its shareholders will incur its pro rata share of the underlying investment companies' expenses and the purchase of shares of some investment companies (in the case of closed-end investment companies) may sometimes require the payment of substantial premiums above the value of such companies’ portfolio securities or NAVs. The Fund must continue, at the same

47 |

time, to pay its own management fees and expenses with respect to all of its investments, including shares of other investment companies. The securities of other investment companies may also be leveraged and will therefore be subject to certain leverage risks.

In addition, the Fund will be subject to those risks affecting the investment company, including the effects of business and regulatory developments that affect an underlying investment company or the investment company industry generally.

An investment by the Fund in another ETF may be subject to additional risk, including: the ETF's shares may trade at a discount or premium relative to the net asset value of the shares; an active trading market may not develop for the ETF's shares; the listing exchange may halt trading of the ETF's shares; the ETF may fail to correctly track the referenced asset (if any); and the ETF may hold troubled securities in the referenced index or basket of investments.

Purchase and Redemption of Shares

GENERAL

The Shares are issued or redeemed by each Fund at NAV per Share only in Creation Unit size.

Most investors buy and sell Shares of the Funds in secondary market transactions through brokers. Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on the secondary market on the NYSE Arca. Shares can be bought and sold throughout the trading day like other publicly traded shares. There is no minimum investment. Although Shares are generally purchased and sold in “round lots” of 100 Shares, brokerage firms typically permit investors to purchase or sell Shares in smaller “odd lots,” at no per-Share price differential. When buying or selling Shares through a broker, you will incur customary brokerage commissions and charges, and you may pay some or all of the spread between the bid and the offered price in the secondary market on each leg of a round trip (purchase and sale) transaction. The Funds trade on the NYSE Arca at prices that may differ to varying degrees from the daily NAV of the Shares. Given that each Fund’s Shares can be issued and redeemed in Creation Units, the Investment Adviser believes that large discounts and premiums to NAV should not be sustained for long. The Funds trade under the NYSE Arca symbols set forth in the chart below.

Share prices are reported in dollars and cents per Share.

Investors may acquire Shares directly from the Funds, and shareholders may tender their Shares for redemption directly to the Funds, only in Creation Units of the applicable number of Shares as set forth in the table below. In certain circumstances, a Fund may restrict or reject a creation or redemption order, and notify a shareholder of such restriction or rejection, as described in “Creation and Redemption of Creation Unit Aggregations” in the SAI and in the Funds’ authorized participant agreement.

BOOK ENTRY

Shares are held in book-entry form, which means that no stock certificates are issued. The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or its nominee is the record owner of all outstanding Shares of each Fund and is recognized as the owner of all Shares for all purposes. Investors owning Shares are beneficial owners as shown on the records of DTC or its participants. DTC serves as the securities depository for all Shares. Participants in DTC include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and other institutions that directly or indirectly maintain a custodial relationship with DTC. As a beneficial owner of Shares, you are not entitled to receive physical delivery of stock certificates or to have Shares registered in your name, and you are not considered a registered owner of Shares. Therefore, to exercise any right as an owner of Shares, you must rely upon the procedures of DTC and its participants. These procedures are the same as those that apply to any other stocks that you may hold in book entry or “street name” form.

How to Buy and Sell Shares

PRICING FUND SHARES

The trading price of each Fund’s Shares on the NYSE Arca may differ from the Fund’s daily NAV. The NYSE Arca disseminates the approximate value of Shares of a Fund every fifteen seconds. This approximate value should not be viewed as a “real-time” update of the NAV per Share of a Fund because the approximate value may not be calculated in the same manner as the NAV, which is computed once a day, generally at the end of the business day. A Fund is not involved in, or responsible for, the calculation or dissemination of the approximate value and a Fund does not make any warranty as to its accuracy.

Each Fund calculates its NAV by:

Taking the current market value of its total assets;

Subtracting any liabilities; and

Dividing that amount by the total number of Shares outstanding.

Each Fund generally calculates its NAV once each Business Day as of the regularly scheduled close of normal trading on the NYSE (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time). The NYSE is open Monday through Friday, except on observation of the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, President’s Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. If the NYSE has an earlier

51 |

closing time (scheduled or unscheduled), such as on days in advance of holidays generally observed by the NYSE, a Fund may calculate its NAV as of the earlier closing time or calculate its NAV as of the normally scheduled close of regular trading on the NYSE for that day, so long as the Investment Adviser believes there generally remains an adequate market to obtain reliable and accurate market quotations. A Fund generally does not calculate its NAV on any non-Business Day. However, if the NYSE is closed for any other reason on a day it would normally be open for business, a Fund may calculate its NAV as of the normally scheduled close of regular trading on the NYSE for that day, so long as the Investment Adviser believes there generally remains an adequate market to obtain reliable and accurate market quotations. Each Fund discloses its NAV on a daily basis. For more information, or to obtain a Fund’s NAV, please call 800.820.0888 or visit the Guggenheim Investments website-www.guggenheiminvestments.com.

When calculating the NAV, a Fund will value the portfolio securities and assets of a Fund for which market quotations are readily available at the current market price of those securities and assets. With respect to portfolio securities and assets of a Fund for which market quotations are not readily available, or which cannot be accurately valued under the Funds’ valuation procedures, the Fund will fair value those securities and assets.

Equity securities traded on a domestic securities exchange will usually be valued at the last sale price on that exchange on the day the valuation is made, provided, however, that securities listed on NASDAQ will usually be valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price, which may not necessarily represent the last sale price. If no sale is reported, then an exchange-traded equity security is valued at the mean of the most recent bid and ask prices on such day.

Debt securities with a maturity greater than 60 days at the time of purchase will usually be valued based on pricing services approved by the Board, when available. Prices obtained from pricing services use various inputs, methods, models and assumptions, which may include information provided by broker-dealers and other market makers. Commercial paper and discount notes with a maturity of 60 days or less at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost, unless it is deemed that amortized cost does not represent fair value, in which case the applicable asset will be valued using prices obtained from pricing services. If prices obtained from pricing services are unavailable, then securities are generally fair valued. Certain securities may also be valued based on broker quotations.

For foreign securities and other assets that are priced in a currency other than U.S. dollars, a Fund will convert the security or asset from the local currency into U.S. dollars using the relevant current exchange rate. Foreign securities may trade in their primary markets on weekends or other days when a Fund does not price its Shares.

If market quotations are not readily available, are unreliable, or a significant event has occurred, securities are priced at fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Board. For example, market prices may be unavailable if trading in a particular portfolio security was halted during the day and did not resume prior to a Fund’s NAV calculation. The Investment Adviser may view market prices as unreliable when the value of a security has been materially affected by events occurring after the market closes, but prior to the time as of which a Fund calculates its NAV.

The use of fair valuation in pricing a security involves the consideration of a number of subjective factors and therefore, is susceptible to the unavoidable risk that the valuation may be higher or lower than the price at which the security might actually trade if a reliable market price were readily available.

More information about the valuation of a Fund's holdings can be found in the SAI and the Fund's shareholder reports (when available).

CREATION UNITS

Investors such as market makers, large investors and institutions who wish to deal in Creation Units directly with each Fund must have entered into an authorized participant agreement with the Distributor, or purchase through a dealer that has entered into such an agreement. Set forth below is a brief description of the procedures applicable to purchase and redemption of Creation Units. For more detailed information, see “Creation and Redemption of Creation Unit Aggregations” in the SAI.

PROSPECTUS | 52

HOW TO BUY SHARES

In order to purchase Creation Units of a Fund, an investor must generally deposit a designated portfolio of equity securities constituting a substantial replication, or a representation, of the securities included in the Index (the“Deposit Securities”) and generally make a small cash payment referred to as the“Cash Component.”For those Authorized Participants (as defined below) that are not eligible for trading a Deposit Security, custom orders are available. The list of the names and the amounts of shares of the Deposit Securities is made available by the Funds’ custodian through the facilities of the National Securities Clearing Corporation, commonly referred to as NSCC, immediately prior to the opening of business each day of the NYSE Arca. The Cash Component represents the difference between the NAV of a Creation Unit and the market value of the Deposit Securities. In the case of custom orders, cash-in-lieu may be added to the Cash Component to replace any Deposit Securities that the Authorized Participant (as defined below) may not be eligible to trade or the Investment Adviser believes are in the best interests of the Fund not to accept in kind.

Orders must be placed by or through a participant of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC Participant”) that has entered into an agreement with the Trust, the Distributor and the transfer agent, with respect to purchases and redemptions of Creation Units (collectively, “Authorized Participant” or “AP”) and must be in proper form pursuant to the requirements regarding submission and logistics set forth in such agreement. See “Creation and Redemption of Creation Unit Aggregations” in the SAI. All standard orders must be placed for one or more whole Creation Units of Shares of each Fund and must be received by the Distributor in proper form no later than the close of regular trading on the NYSE Arca (ordinarily 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) (“Closing Time”) in order to receive that day’s closing NAV per Share. In the case of certain custom orders placed at the request of the AP and as further described in the SAI, the order must be received by the Distributor no later than one hour prior to Closing Time in order to receive that day’s closing NAV per Share. A custom order may be placed by an Authorized Participant in the event that the Trust permits or requires the substitution of an amount of cash to be added to the Cash Component to replace any Deposit Security which may not be available in sufficient quantity for delivery or which may not be eligible for trading by such Authorized Participant or the investor for which it is acting or any other relevant reason. See “Creation and Redemption of Creation Unit Aggregations” in the SAI.

The following fixed creation transaction fees per transaction for each Fund (the “Creation Transaction Fee”) set forth in the table below are applicable to each transaction regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased in the transaction.



Fund	Fixed Creation Transaction Fees
	(Per Transaction)
Guggenheim China All-Cap ETF	$3,000
Guggenheim China Technology ETF	$500
Guggenheim Solar ETF	$500
Guggenheim S&P Global Water Index ETF	$500
Guggenheim S&P High Income Infrastructure ETF	$1,000

An additional variable charge for cash creations or partial cash creations may also be imposed to compensate a Fund for the costs associated with buying the applicable securities. Each Fund may adjust these fees from time to time based on actual experience.

Each Fund reserves the right to effect creations in cash. A shareholder may request a cash creation in lieu of securities, however, the Fund may, in its discretion, reject any such request. See “Creation and Redemption of Creation Unit Aggregations” in the SAI. The price for each Creation Unit will equal the daily NAV per Share times the number of Shares in a Creation Unit plus the fees described above and, if applicable, any transfer taxes.

Shares of each Fund may be issued in advance of receipt of all Deposit Securities subject to various conditions, including a requirement to maintain on deposit with the Trust cash at least equal to 115% of the market value of the missing Deposit Securities. See “Creation and Redemption of Creation Unit Aggregations” in the SAI.

LEGAL RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSACTIONS IN CERTAIN SECURITIES

An investor subject to a legal restriction with respect to a particular security required to be deposited in connection with the purchase of a Creation Unit may, at a Fund’s discretion, be permitted to deposit an equivalent amount of cash in substitution for any security which would otherwise be included in the Deposit Securities

53 |

applicable to the purchase of a Creation Unit. For more details, see “Creation and Redemption of Creation Unit Aggregations” in the SAI.

REDEMPTION OF SHARES

Shares may be redeemed only in Creation Units at their NAV and only on a day the NYSE Arca is open for business. The Funds’ custodian makes available immediately prior to the opening of business each day of the NYSE Arca, through the facilities of the NSCC, the list of the names and the number of shares of each Fund's portfolio securities that will be applicable that day to redemption requests in proper form (“Fund Securities”). Fund Securities received on redemption may not be identical to Deposit Securities, which are applicable to purchases of Creation Units. Unless cash redemptions or partial cash redemptions are available or specified for a Fund, the redemption proceeds consist of the Fund Securities, plus cash in an amount equal to the difference between the NAV of Shares being redeemed as next determined after receipt by the transfer agent of a redemption request in proper form, and the value of the Fund Securities (the “Cash Redemption Amount”), less the applicable redemption fee and, if applicable, any transfer taxes. Should the Fund Securities have a value greater than the NAV of Shares being redeemed, a compensating cash payment to the Trust equal to the differential, plus the applicable redemption fee and, if applicable, any transfer taxes will be required to be arranged for, by or on behalf of the redeeming shareholder. For more details, see “Creation and Redemption of Creation Unit Aggregations” in the SAI.

An order to redeem Creation Units of a Fund may only be effected by or through an Authorized Participant. An order to redeem must be placed for one or more whole Creation Units and must be received by the transfer agent in proper form no later than the Closing Time in order to receive that day’s closing NAV per Share. In the case of certain custom orders, placed at the request of the AP and as further described in the SAI, the order must be received by the transfer agent no later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern time.

The following fixed redemption transaction fees per transaction for each Fund (the “Redemption Transaction Fee”) set forth in the table below are applicable to each redemption transaction regardless of the number of Creation Units redeemed in the transaction.



Fund	Fixed Redemption Transaction Fees
	(Per Transaction)
Guggenheim China All-Cap ETF	$3,000
Guggenheim China Technology ETF	$500
Guggenheim Solar ETF	$500
Guggenheim S&P Global Water Index ETF	$500
Guggenheim S&P High Income Infrastructure ETF	$1,000

An additional variable charge may be imposed for cash redemptions or partial cash redemptions (to compensate the Funds for the costs associated with selling the applicable securities). Each Fund may adjust these fees from time to time based on actual experience. Each Fund reserves the right to effect redemptions wholly or partially in cash. A shareholder may request a cash redemption or partial cash redemption in lieu of securities, however, each Fund may, in its discretion, reject any such request. See “Creation and Redemption of Creation Unit Aggregations” in the SAI.

DISTRIBUTIONS

Dividends and Capital Gains. Fund shareholders are entitled to their share of a Fund’s income and net realized gains on its investments. Each Fund pays out substantially all of its net earnings to its shareholders as “distributions.”

Each Fund typically earns income dividends from stocks and may earn interest from debt securities. These amounts, net of expenses, are passed along to Fund shareholders as “income dividend distributions.” Each Fund realizes capital gains or losses whenever it sells securities. Net long-term capital gains are distributed to shareholders as “capital gain distributions.”

Income dividends, if any, are distributed to shareholders annually, except for the Guggenheim S&P High Income Infrastructure ETF, which distributes quarterly. Net capital gains are distributed at least annually. Dividends may be declared and paid more frequently to improve Index tracking or to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, that are applicable to regulated investment companies. Some

PROSPECTUS | 54

portion of each distribution may result in a return of capital. Fund shareholders will be notified regarding the portion of the distribution that represents a return of capital.

Distributions in cash may be reinvested automatically in additional whole Shares only if the broker through which the Shares were purchased makes such option available.

DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN

The Board has adopted a distribution and service plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Under the Plan, each Fund is authorized to pay distribution fees in connection with the sale and distribution of its shares and pay service fees in connection with the provision of ongoing services to shareholders and the maintenance of shareholder accounts in an amount up to 0.25% of its average daily net assets each year.

No 12b-1 fees are currently paid by the Funds, and there are no current plans to impose these fees. In addition, no such fee may be paid in the future without further approval by the Board and the Board has adopted a resolution that no such fee will be paid for at least 12 months from the date of this Prospectus. However, in the event 12b-1 fees are charged in the future, because these fees are paid out of a Fund’s assets on an ongoing basis, these fees will increase the cost of your investment in the Fund. By purchasing shares subject to distribution fees and service fees, you may pay more over time than you would by purchasing shares with other types of sales charge arrangements. Long-term shareholders may pay more than the economic equivalent of the maximum front-end sales charge permitted by the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). The net income attributable to the Shares will be reduced by the amount of distribution fees and service fees and other expenses of the Funds.

The Investment Adviser or its affiliates may make payments to broker-dealers, banks or other financial intermediaries (together, “intermediaries”) related to marketing activities and presentations, educational training programs, the support of technology platforms and/or reporting systems, or their making shares of the Funds and certain other Guggenheim Funds ETFs available to their customers. Such payments, which may be significant to the intermediary, are not made by a Fund. Rather, such payments are made by the Investment Adviser or its affiliates from their own resources, which come directly or indirectly in part from fees paid by the Guggenheim Funds ETF complex. Payments of this type are sometimes referred to as revenue-sharing payments. A financial intermediary may make decisions about which investment options it recommends or makes available, or the level of services provided, to its customers based on the revenue-sharing payments it is eligible to receive. Therefore, such payments to an intermediary create conflicts of interest between the intermediary and its customers and may cause the intermediary to recommend a Fund or other Guggenheim Funds ETFs over another investment. More information regarding these payments is contained in the Funds’ SAI. Please contact your salesperson or other investment professional for more information regarding any such payments his or her firm may receive from the Investment Adviser or its affiliates.

Frequent Purchases and Redemptions

The Funds impose no restrictions on the frequency of purchases and redemptions. The Board evaluated the risks of market timing activities by the Funds’ shareholders when they considered that no restriction or policy was necessary. The Board considered that, unlike traditional mutual funds, each Fund issues and redeems its shares at NAV for a basket of securities intended to mirror that Fund’s portfolio, plus a small amount of cash, and a Fund’s Shares may be purchased and sold on the exchange at prevailing market prices. Given this structure, the Board determined that it is unlikely that (a) market timing would be attempted by each Fund’s shareholders or (b) any attempts to market time a Fund by its shareholders would result in negative impact to the Fund or its shareholders.

MUFG Investor Services (US), LLC is the administrator of the Funds.

The Bank of New York Mellon is the custodian and fund accounting and transfer agent for the Funds.

Federal Income Taxation

As with any investment, you should consider how your investment in Shares will be taxed. The tax information in this Prospectus is provided as general information. You should consult your own tax professional about the tax consequences of an investment in Shares.

Unless your investment in Shares is made through a tax-exempt entity or tax-deferred retirement account, such as an IRA plan, you need to be aware of the possible tax consequences when:


•	Your Fund makes distributions,


•	You sell your Shares listed on the NYSE Arca, and


•	You purchase or redeem Creation Units.

TAXES ON DISTRIBUTIONS

Income dividends and long-term capital gains, if any, are distributed to shareholders annually. Each Fund may also pay a special distribution at the end of the calendar year to comply with federal tax requirements. In general, your distributions are subject to federal income tax when they are paid, whether you take them in cash or reinvest them in a Fund. Dividends paid out of a Fund’s income and net short-term gains, if any, are taxable as ordinary income. Distributions of net long-term capital gains, if any, in excess of net short-term capital losses are taxable as long-term capital gains, regardless of how long you have held the Shares.

Dividends that are designated as qualified dividend income are eligible for the reduced maximum rate to individuals of 15% or 20% (depending on whether the individual’s income exceeds certain threshold amounts) to the extent that a Fund receives qualified dividend income and subject to certain limitations.

Long-term capital gains of non-corporate taxpayers are generally taxed at a maximum rate of either 15% or 20% depending on whether the individual’s income exceeds certain threshold amounts.

An additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends and capital gain distributions received from a Fund and net gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of Fund shares) of U.S. individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds certain threshold amounts.

Distributions in excess of a Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits are treated as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of your basis in the Shares, and as capital gain thereafter. A distribution will reduce a Fund’s NAV per Share and may be taxable to you as ordinary income or capital gain even though, from an investment standpoint, the distribution may constitute a return of capital.

57 |

If you are not a citizen or permanent resident of the United States or if you are a foreign entity, each Fund’s ordinary income dividends (which include distributions of net short-term capital gains) will generally be subject to a 30% U.S. withholding tax, unless a lower treaty rate applies or unless such income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. Prospective investors are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning the applicability of the U.S. withholding tax.

If more than 50% of a Fund’s total assets at the end of its taxable year consists of foreign stock or securities, the Fund may elect to “pass through” to its investors certain foreign income taxes paid by the Fund, with the result that each investor will (i) include in gross income, even though not actually received, the investor’s pro rata share of the Fund’s foreign income taxes, and (ii) either deduct (in calculating U.S. taxable income) or credit (in calculating U.S. federal tax), subject to certain limitations, the investor’s pro rata share of the Fund’s foreign income taxes.

By law, each Fund must withhold a percentage of your distributions and proceeds if you have not provided a taxpayer identification number or social security number. The backup withholding rate for individuals is currently 28%.

TAXES ON EXCHANGE-LISTED SHARES SALES

Currently, any capital gain or loss realized upon a sale of Shares is generally treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the Shares have been held for more than one year and as short-term capital gain or loss if the Shares have been held for one year or less. Capital loss realized on the sale or exchange of Shares held for six months or less will be treated as long-term capital loss to the extent of any capital gain dividends received by the shareholder. The ability to deduct capital losses may be limited.

TAXES ON PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF CREATION UNITS

An Authorized Participant who exchanges equity securities for Creation Units generally will recognize a gain or a loss. The gain or loss will be equal to the difference between the market value of the Creation Units at the time and the exchanger’s aggregate basis in the securities surrendered and the Cash Component paid. A person who exchanges Creation Units for equity securities will generally recognize a gain or loss equal to the difference between the exchanger’s basis in the Creation Units and the aggregate market value of the securities received and the Cash Redemption Amount. The Internal Revenue Service, however, may assert that a loss realized upon an exchange of securities for Creation Units cannot be deducted currently under the rules governing “wash sales” on the basis that there has been no significant change in economic position. Persons exchanging securities should consult their own tax advisor with respect to whether the wash sale rules apply and when a loss might be deductible.

Under current federal tax laws, any capital gain or loss realized upon redemption of Creation Units is generally treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the Shares have been held for more than one year and as a short-term capital gain or loss if the Shares have been held for one year or less.

If you purchase or redeem Creation Units, you will be sent a confirmation statement showing how many and at what price you purchased or sold Shares.

The foregoing discussion summarizes some of the possible consequences under current federal tax law of an investment in a Fund. It is not a substitute for personal tax advice. You may also be subject to state and local taxation on Fund distributions and sales of Fund Shares. You are advised to consult your personal tax advisor about the potential tax consequences of an investment in Fund Shares under all applicable tax laws.

Tax-Advantaged Product Structure

Unlike interests in many conventional mutual funds, the Shares are traded throughout the day on a national securities exchange, whereas mutual fund interests are typically only bought and sold at closing NAVs. The Shares have been designed to be tradable in the secondary market on a national securities exchange on an intra-day basis, and to be created and redeemed principally in-kind in Creation Units at each day’s next calculated NAV. These arrangements are designed to protect ongoing shareholders from adverse effects on the Funds’ portfolios that could arise from frequent cash creation and redemption transactions. In a conventional mutual fund, redemptions can have an adverse tax impact on taxable shareholders because the mutual fund may need to sell portfolio

securities to obtain cash to meet fund redemptions. These sales may generate taxable gains for the shareholders of the mutual fund, whereas the Shares’ in-kind redemption mechanism generally will not lead to a tax event for the Funds or their ongoing shareholders.

Other Information

For purposes of the 1940 Act, each Fund is treated as a registered investment company. Section 12(d)(1) of the 1940 Act restricts investments by investment companies in the securities of other investment companies, including shares of the Funds. R egistered investment companies are permitted to invest in the Funds beyond the limits set forth in Section 12(d)(1) subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in an SEC exemptive order issued to the Trust, including that such investment companies enter into an agreement with a Fund .

The Prospectus and SAI, related regulatory filings, and any other Fund communications or disclosure documents do not purport to create any contractual obligations between the Funds and shareholders. Each Fund may amend any of these documents or enter into (or amend) a contract on behalf of each Fund without shareholder approval except where shareholder approval is specifically required. Further, shareholders are not intended third-party beneficiaries of any contracts entered into by (or on behalf of) the Funds, including contracts with the Investment Adviser or other parties who provide services to the Funds.

Premium/Discount Information

Information about the differences between the daily market price on secondary markets for Shares and the NAV of each Fund can be found at www.guggenheiminvestments.com.

Total Return Information

Information about the total return of each Fund’s Index in comparison to the total return of that Fund can be found at www.guggenheiminvestments.com.

Financial Highlights

The financial highlights table is intended to help you understand each Fund’s financial performance for the past five years or since its inception. Certain information reflects financial results for a single Fund share. The total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in each Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). This information has been derived from the Funds’ financial statements which have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, whose report, along with the Funds’ financial statements, are included in the Funds’ Annual Report, which is available upon request.
