------------------------------------------------------------------------- Estimated annual Trading capital gain Fund Name Symbol per fund unit ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Claymore Gold Bullion Trust CGL.UN $0.026 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Claymore Silver Bullion Trust SVR.UN $0.270 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Claymore Broad Emerging Market ETF CWO $0.931 ----------------------------- CWO.A $0.853 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Claymore US Fundamental Index ETF - C$ Hedged CLU $0.387 ----------------------------- CLU.A $0.351 -------------------------------------------------------------------------
The estimated capital gains distributions for the Claymore Gold Bullion Trust, Claymore Silver Bullion Trust, Claymore US Fundamental Index ETF - C$ Hedged and Claymore Broad Emerging Market ETF are entirely as a result of the currency hedging strategy employed. Throughout 2009 the US dollar has depreciated sharply against the Canadian dollar and the currency hedging strategy employed by each of the funds has added significant value to the total return of the funds.
We currently estimate that the following funds will not incur capital gains for the year:
