Claymore Advisors, LLC, is pleased to announce that the following Claymore BulletShares® Corporate Bond ETFs (the “Claymore BulletShares ETFs”) have declared monthly distributions. The table below summarizes the distribution for each Fund. Since launching on June 7, 2010 the Claymore BulletShares ETFs have experienced growing interest from advisors and investors as demonstrated by the increases in daily trading volume and growth in shares outstanding during July, as provided below.
“We’re pleased with the market’s reception of the BulletShares ETFs,” said William Belden, Managing Director, Claymore Securities, Inc. “Much of the growth in the number of shares outstanding from June to July occurred as trading volume grew in the second half of July. However, the timing of the share growth, to a degree, diluted the income available to distribute to shareholders this month for certain ETFs in the suite. The tradeoff for shareholders is that those ETFs will experience a smaller NAV decline on the ex-dividend date.”

Past performance is not indicative of future performance. To the extent any portion of the distribution is estimated to be sourced from something other than income, such as return of capital, the source would be disclosed on a Section 19(a)-1 letter located on the Fund’s website under the “Literature” tab. A distribution rate that is largely comprised of sources other than income may not be reflective of the Fund’s performance.

There are risks associated with investing, including the entire loss of principal invested. As interest rates rise, the value of fixed-income securities held by the Funds are likely to decrease. Securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes, making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations. As interest rates fall, the Funds’ income will decline. In addition the Funds are subject to Credit/Default Risk, Asset Class Risk, Call Risk/Prepayment Risk, Extension Risk, Liquidity Risk, Foreign Issuers Risk, Declining Yield Risk, Fluctuation of Yield and Liquidation Amount Risk, Derivative Risk, Non-Correlation Risk, Replication Management Risk, Issuer-Specific Changes, and Non-Diversified Fund Risk.
