You should consider the trust’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. Contact your financial professional or visit Advisors Asset Management online at www.aamlive.com/uit to obtain a prospectus, which contains this and other information about the trust. Read it carefully before you invest or send any money. Securities offered through your financial professional. Risks and Considerations: Unit values will fluctuate with the portfolio of underlying securities and may be worth more or less than the original purchase price at the time of redemption. There is no guarantee that the objective of the portfolio will be achieved. Additionally, the trust may terminate earlier than the specific termination date as stated in the prospectus. The strategy is considered a long-term one therefore, investors should consider their ability to pursue investing in successive trusts. Consult your tax advisor for possible tax consequences associated with this investment. Units may be well suited for an IRA or other qualified plan. An investment in this unmanaged unit investment trust should be made with an understanding of the following risks: Common Stock: An investment in common stocks should be made with an understanding of the various risks of owning common stock, such as an economic recession and the possible deterioration of either the financial condition of the issuers of the equity securities, the general condition of the stock market, or an impact to the market price. Consumer Products and Services Companies: These companies manufacture or sell various consumer products and/or services. General risks of these companies include the general state of the economy, intense competition and consumer spending trends. Negative developments in this sector will affect the value of your investment more than would be the case in a more diversified investment. Dividend Payment Risk: An issuer of a security may be unwilling or unable to pay income on a security. Common stocks do not assure dividend payments and are paid only when declared by an issuer’s board of directors. The amount of any dividend may vary over time. Foreign Securities: Securities of foreign issuers present risks beyond those of U.S. issuers which may include market and political factors related to the issuer’s foreign market, international trade conditions, less regulation, smaller or less liquid markets, increased volatility, differing accounting practices and changes in the value of foreign securities. Long-Term Strategy: Although this UIT terminates in approximately 15 months, the strategy is long term.
