Sincerely, Donald Cacciapaglia President, Chief Executive Officer and Trustee Claymore Exchange-Traded Fund Trust September 30, 2015 CLAYMORE EXCHANGE-TRADED FUND TRUST ANNUAL REPORT l 3 ECONOMIC AND MARKET OVERVIEW August 31, 2015 The U.S. economic expansion is beginning to approach its late stages, but the underlying fundamentals of the economy remain strong. Growth mid-year bounced back from a weather-induced slowdown in the first quarter, with GDP increasing 3.7% for the third quarter. The labor and housing markets continue to strengthen, and consumption has benefited from low energy prices. Markets have been anticipating a rate hike by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) sometime before the end of 2015, but the Fed’s insistence on being data dependent provides it with significant flexibility. Among measures being watched closely is wage growth, an indicator of inflationary pressure, which has been subdued. Once the Fed begins its tightening process, the terminal value of the Fed funds rate may be lower than expected. Overseas, growth in the Chinese economy continues to slow, with a recent devaluation a government attempt to stimulate exports. Policymakers are likely to continue to do whatever is necessary to maintain growth at an acceptable level, but turbulence is expected to persist. The Japanese economy’s long-term prospects also remain weak, with continued monetary accommodation leading to more capital being exported. In Europe, economic data have also slipped recently, and export growth may suffer due to falling demand from China. Events in Greece are likely to remain unsettled. Responsible for much of this international turbulence is the massive misalignment of exchange rates, which finds its roots in quantitative easing. Japan, for example, has weakened its currency by over 50% against the U.S. dollar while China, Japan’s largest trading partner, has basically pegged the renminbi to the dollar. Strains on the terms of trade between countries that have devalued and those that have not have built to the point that perpetuating these disparities is destabilizing to the countries that have staunchly fought devaluation. Witness China’s recent move to devalue the renminbi versus the dollar, proving that artificial equilibrium is not only impossible to maintain, but ultimately disruptive to markets and economic growth. Now we are facing the turbulent path to a new equilibrium, including the potential for several months of volatility for risk assets. In such a challenging period, many take comfort in governments’ willingness to use the printing press. It is a handy tool to prop up asset prices and temporarily spur economic growth, which is the main reason a recession does not appear to be on the horizon for either the G-7 nations or China. It’s also worth noting that there has never been a recession in the post-war period without the Fed first raising interest rates, after which it typically takes several years for a recession to be induced. For the 12 months ended August 31, 2015, the Standard & Poor’s 500® (“S&P 500”) Index returned 0.48%. The Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) Europe-Australasia-Far East (“EAFE”) Index returned -7.47%. The return of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index was -22.95%. In the bond market, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index posted a 1.56% return for the period, while the Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Index returned -2.93%. The return of the Bank of America Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index was 0.03% for the 12-month period. The opinions and forecasts expressed may not actually come to pass.

The Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Index measures the market of U.S. dollar-denominated, non-investment grade, fixed-rate, taxable corporate bonds. Securities are classified as high yield if the middle rating of Moody’s, Fitch, and S&P is Ba1/BB +/BB + or below. The Dow Jones U.S. Select Dividend Index is a selection of stocks that is based almost entirely on dividend yield and dividend history. Stocks are also required to have an annual average daily dollar trading volume of more than $1.5 million.

It includes approximately 800 of the smallest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership. The Russell Midcap represents approximately 31% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 1000® companies. The Russell 2000® Index measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000® Index, which represents approximately 10% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000® Index. The Standard and Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500®) is a broad-based index, the performance of which is based on the performance of 500 widely held common stocks chosen for market size, liquidity, and industry group representation. The S&P MidCap 400® provides investors with a benchmark for mid-sized companies. The index covers over 7% of the U.S. equity market, and seeks to remain an accurate measure of midsized companies, reflecting the risk and return characteristics of the broader mid-cap universe on an on-going basis.

  • A Primer on U.S. Stock Price Indices
    A Primer on U.S. Stock Price Indices he measurement of the “average” price of common stocks is a matter of widespread interest. Investors want to know how “the Tmarket” is doing, and to be able to compare their returns with a meaningful benchmark. Money managers often have their compensation tied to performance, typically measured by comparing their results to a benchmark portfolio, so they and their clients are interested in the benchmark portfolio’s returns. And policymakers want to judge the potential for sudden adjustments in stock prices when differences from “fundamental value” emerge. The most widely quoted stock price index, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, has been supplemented by other popular indices that are constructed in a different way and pose fewer problems as a measure of stock prices. At present, a number of stock price indices are reported by the few companies that we will consider in this paper. Each of these indices is intended to be a benchmark portfolio for a different segment of the universe of common stocks. This paper discusses some of the issues in constructing and interpreting stock price indices. It focuses on the most widely used indices: the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Stan- dard & Poor’s 500, the Russell 2000, the NASDAQ Composite, and the Wilshire 5000. The first section of this study addresses issues of construction and interpretation of stock price indices. The second section compares the movements of the five indices in the last two decades and investigates the Peter Fortune relationship between the returns on the reported indices and the return on “the market.” Our results suggest that the Dow Jones Industrial Average (Dow 30) The author is a Senior Economist and has inherent problems in its construction.

    Disclosure 2020 Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit (REMIC) and Widely Held Fixed Investment Trust (WHFIT) Guide Investor’s guide to tax reporting for REMIC/WHFIT regular interests and other CDOs Highlights − This guide helps you understand the tax reporting information related to investments in a collateralized debt obligation (CDO), a debt instrument that is secured by a pool of other debt instruments. − CDOs that are secured by mortgage obligations take the form of a regular interest in a real estate mortgage investment conduit (REMIC). − Widely held fixed investment trusts (WHFITs) whose assets are mortgages, amounts received on mortgages and reasonably required reserve funds as measured by value are considered widely held mortgage trusts (WHMTs). − Taxable interest is calculated using the accrual method of accounting; therefore, the amount reported on Form 1099-INT may not equal the sum of cash payments you actually received during the year. − Original issue discount (OID) and interest accrual amounts for a REMIC regular interest or CDO are already calculated by the issuer or issuer’s agent and provided on your Consolidated Form 1099. − You may be required to use a portion of the acquisition premium to reduce OID included in income during the current year, but only with respect to the same REMIC regular interest or CDO. − If you bought your REMIC regular interest or CDO in the secondary market, you may be required to report market discount income. − If a debt instrument issued with OID was purchased with bond premium, you may eliminate the OID included in current taxable income. − The sale of a REMIC regular interest or CDO that has OID or market discount is subject to special treatment, which may decrease any capital gain or increase any capital loss.
