FUND SUMMARY

The Claymore Natural Gas Commodity ETF (the “ETF”) invests in the Alberta natural gas market by investing in physical natural gas forward contracts. Prior to investing, investors should understand the mechanics of how the ETF tracks the price of natural gas and how the affects of contango and backwardation will impact the pricing of the ETF.

The Claymore Natural Gas Commodity ETF (TSX:GAS), has been designed to track the performance of the benchmark NGX Canadian Natural Gas Index, less fees and expenses. The ETF will provide non-leveraged exposure to the Alberta natural gas market, by investing in physical natural gas forward contracts. The ETF will not use leverage and targets a 1:1 relationship between assets and natural gas exposure. In addition, the ETF will provide this exposure without being directly involved in the exploration, operation, reserves, engineering and management risks associated with an investment in entities that explore for, produce and sell natural gas.

INDEX CHARACTERISTICS
as of 12/30/11

P/E Ratio is a harmonic weighted average and is equal to a security’s market capitalization divided by its after-tax earnings over the most recent 12-month period.

P/B Ratio is a harmonic weighted average and is equal to a security’s market capitalization divided by its book value.

Alpha is a statistical measurement that depicts the performance difference between a fund's return and an underlying performance benchmark, given a fund’s level of volatility, measured by beta. The benchmark will always reflect an alpha of 0.00%. A positive alpha indicates a fund has performed better than its beta would predict in the stated period. Data displayed is for the previous 3 year period.

Beta is the measure of a fund's sensitivity to the Index. By definition, the beta of the Index is 1.00. Any fund with a higher beta is more volatile than the Index. Likewise, any portfolio with a lower beta will be less volatile than the index in the stated period. Data displayed is for the previous 3 year period.

Standard deviation is a statistical measurement that depicts how widely returns vary over a given period of time. The measurement is generally used to understand the range of returns that are most likely for a given portfolio. Generally, a higher standard deviation indicates a more risky portfolio. This is computed by using the trailing monthly total returns for the appropriate time period. Monthly standard deviations are then annualized. Data displayed is for the previous 3 year time period.

Average Market Capitalization is the geometric mean of the market capitalizations for all the securities in a fund’s portfolio.
