This information does not represent an offer to sell securities of the Funds and it is not soliciting an offer to buy securities of the Funds. An investment in any investment product is subject to certain risks and other considerations, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount you invest. There can be no assurance that any investment product will achieve its investment objectives. An investment in non-U.S. issuers involves risks that are in addition to the risks associated with domestic issuers; and therefore, may be subject to additional currency, political, economic, and market risks. The net asset value of the Funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities. It is important to note that closed-end funds trade on their market value, not net asset value, and closed-end funds often trade at a discount to their net asset value. See www.claymore.com for a detailed discussion of fund-specific risks.

Investors should consider the investment objectives and policies, risk considerations, charges and expenses of the Funds carefully before they invest. For this and more information, please contact a securities representative or Claymore Securities, Inc., 2455 Corporate West Drive, Lisle, Illinois 60532, 800-345-7999.
