Principal Investment Strategy

The Trust aims to invest in a portfolio of 50 geographically diverse firms that meet major “infrastructure” needs – broken up into categories of the four basic utilities (electric, water, telecom, and gas distribution), railroads, and major construction related companies. The Trust aims to invest in firms that may participate in the global governmental focus on expansion (developing economies) and upgrade (developed economies) of critical infrastructure. The strategy has a secondary objective of providing dividend income. However, there can be no assurance that the securities contained in the Trust will benefit from the growth potential of global infrastructure companies or that the Trust will achieve its investment objective.

The Sponsor, with the assistance of Guggenheim Partners Investment Management, LLC (“GPIM”), an affiliate of Guggenheim Partners, LLC, has selected the securities to be included in the Trust’s portfolio.

See “Investment Policies” in Part B of the prospectus for more information.

Selection Criteria

The Trust’s portfolio is constructed and the securities were selected seven business days prior to the initial date of deposit (the “Inception Date”) using the Security Selection Rules outlined below.

Security Selection Rules:

In constructing the Trust’s portfolio, 50 securities will be selected based on the following rules-based criteria:

1. Initial Universe. Start with an initial global universe of securities which meet the following requirements:

• Security must be a common share or depositary receipt.

• Security may not be an exchange-traded fund, investment fund, limited partnership or Trust.

• Market capitalization greater than $200 million.

• Minimum 30-day average daily dollar trading volume greater than $0.6 million. U.S.-traded American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) do not have to meet this liquidity minimum as long as the underlying foreign local shares do meet the minimum criteria.

• For companies with multiple listings, only one security included. Preference given to the US.-traded ADR security, if available, or to the most liquid security if only traded on non-U.S. exchanges).

• Companies must be engaged in the following FactSet global industries/sectors (note the strategy “Sleeve” names, which are used to specify target weights in the selection strategy):

Sleeve                    FactSet Sectors /
Category                Industries Included

Electric                    Electric Utilities
Water                      Water Utilities
Gas                         Gas Distributors
                               Oil & Gas Pipelines
Telecom                  Telecommunications Equipment
                               Major Telecommunications
                               Wireless Telecommunications
Rail                          Railroads
Construction            Engineering & Construction

2. Rank on Fundamentals: Rank every company in the initial universe against other companies in the same sector along each of the following reported financial metrics. Ranks use a scale of 1 through 10 (1 representing the highest scoring 10% in the sector, and 10 representing the lowest scoring 10% in the sector):

    1. Return on assets calculated as operating income divided by total assets.

    2. Earnings before interest and taxes divided by enterprise value.

    3. Sales per share growth by trailing year-over-year growth.

3. Define Sub-Universe: Reduce the initial universe of securities to a sub-universe that meet the following requirements:

• Exclude the lowest ranked 25% securities by average of the three financial rankings described in step 2.

• Exclude the 20% of the universe with the worst trailing six month total return.

• Minimum one year of trading history for the company.

• Exclude securities not listed on following major Trust eligible exchanges: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States.

• Exclude securities that have pending cash-only merger and acquisition or other corporate action events which will lead to delisting of the security from the qualifying exchanges above.

4. Selection: Select from the sub-universe the top dividend yielding securities from each Sleeve (with a higher rank given to larger market capitalization when yields are equal or zero), with 50 total securities equally weighted as of the selection date. Selections must adhere to following portfolio limits:

• Maximum one-third of portfolio in small-capitalization companies (less than $1 billion USD) as of the selection date.

• Minimum one-third of portfolio in large-capitalization companies (greater than $5 billion USD) as of the selection date.

• Minimum and Maximum Sleeve weights, as of the selection date, are:

    a. Electric 12% - 20%

    b. Water 12% - 20%

    c. Gas 12% - 20%

    d. Telecom 12% - 20%

    e. Rail 10% - 16%

    f. Construction 20% - 28%

• Each of five geographic regions (North America, Western Europe, Asia, Latin America, and other) must have a minimum of 6% weight and a maximum of 30% weight as of the selection date.

• A maximum country weight limit is applied based on each country’s contribution to global market capitalization. The portfolio weight cannot exceed the lesser of +10% or 10x its cap based weight (or a flat 4% limit for countries smaller than 0.4% global contribution) as of the selection date.

• Close scrutiny will be paid to recent news items that may impact near-term operating results, but which are not yet embodied in a company’s financial filings.

Please note that due to the fluctuating nature of security prices, the weighting of an individual security or sector in the Trust portfolio may change after the portfolio selection date.

Risks and Other Considerations

As with all investments, you may lose some or all of your investment in the Trust. No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved. The Trust also might not perform as well as you expect. This can happen for reasons such as these:

• Securities prices can be volatile. The value of your investment may fall over time. Market value fluctuates in response to various factors. These can include stock market movements, purchases or sales of securities by the Trust, government policies, litigation, and changes in interest rates, inflation, the financial condition of the securities’ issuer or even perceptions of the issuer. Units of the Trust are not deposits of any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

• Due to the current state of the economy, the value of the securities held by the Trust may be subject to steep declines or increased volatility due to changes in performance or perception of the issuers. Starting in December 2007, economic activity declined across all sectors of the economy, and most countries experienced increased unemployment. The economic crisis affected the global economy with European and Asian markets also suffering historic losses. Standard & Poor’s Rating Services lowered its long-term sovereign credit rating on the United States to “AA+” from “AAA,” which could lead to increased interest rates and volatility. Extraordinary steps have been taken by the governments of several leading countries to combat the economic crisis; however, the impact of these measures is not yet fully known and cannot be predicted.

• The Trust includes securities issued by companies in the industrials sector. The Trust is concentrated in the industrials sector. As a result, the factors that impact the industrials sector will likely have a greater affect on this Trust than a more broadly diversified Trust. Some of the risks associated with the industrials sector are listed below. Adverse developments in this sector may significantly affect the value of your units. Companies involved in the industrials sector are affected by a number of factors including the general state of the economy, intense competition, domestic and international politics, excess capacity and spending trends.

• The Trust includes securities from the utilities sector. The Trust is concentrated in the utilities sector. As a result, the factors that impact the utilities sector will likely have a greater affect on this Trust than a more broadly diversified Trust. Some of the risks associated with the utilities sector are listed below. Adverse developments in this sector may significantly affect the value of your units. Companies involved in the utilities sector must contend with environmental considerations, taxes, government regulation, price and supply fluctuations, competition and energy conservation.

• Share prices or dividend rates on the securities in the Trust may decline during the life of the Trust. There is no guarantee that the issuers of the securities will declare dividends in the future and, if declared, whether they will remain at current levels or increase over time.

• The Trust invests in foreign securities, ADRs and Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”). The Trust’s investment in foreign securities, ADRs and GDRs presents additional risk. ADRs and GDRs are issued by a bank or Trust company to evidence ownership of underlying securities issued by foreign corporations. Securities of foreign issuers present risks beyond those of domestic securities. More specifically, foreign risk is the risk that foreign securities will be more volatile than U.S. securities due to such factors as adverse economic, currency, political, social or regulatory developments in a country, including government seizure of assets, excessive taxation, limitations on the use or transfer of assets, the lack of liquidity or regulatory controls with respect to certain industries or differing legal and/or accounting standards.

• The Trust includes securities issued by companies headquartered or incorporated in countries considered to be emerging markets. The performance of the securities included in the Trust may be dependent, in part, on the growth or decline of emerging market countries. Emerging markets are generally defined as countries with low per capita income in the initial stages of their industrialization cycles. Risks of investing in developing or emerging countries include the possibility of investment and trading limitations, liquidity concerns, delays and disruptions in settlement transactions, political uncertainties and dependence on international trade and development assistance. Companies headquartered in emerging market countries may be exposed to greater volatility and market risk. In addition, the economies of emerging market countries may be extremely volatile and subject to increased risks.

• The Trust includes securities whose value may be dependent on currency exchange rates. The U.S. dollar value of these securities may vary with fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Most foreign currencies have fluctuated widely in value against the U.S. dollar for various economic and political reasons such as the activity level of large international commercial banks, various central banks, speculators, hedge funds and other buyers and sellers of foreign currencies.

• The Trust invests in securities issued by small-capitalization and mid-capitalization companies. These securities customarily involve more investment risk than securities of large-capitalization companies. Small-capitalization and mid-capitalization companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources and may be more vulnerable to adverse general market or economic developments.

• Inflation may lead to a decrease in the value of assets or income from investments.

• The Sponsor does not actively manage the portfolio. The Trust will generally hold, and may, when creating additional units, continue to buy, the same securities even though a security’s outlook, market value or yield may have changed.

See “Investment Risks” in Part A of the prospectus and “Risk Factors” in Part B of the prospectus for additional information.

Please see the Trust prospectus for more complete risk information.
