The Claymore BRIC ETF seeks to provide long-term capital growth by replicating, to the extent possible, the performance of the BNY Mellon BRIC Select ADR Index which tracks the performance of companies from Brazil, Russia India and China which trade as American depositary receipts (“ADRs”) and/or Global depository receipts (“GDRs”) on a U.S stock exchange.
The index utilizes ADRs for the exposure to each of the four BRIC countries because the stock markets in each of these countries is relatively underdeveloped and do not provide sufficient liquidity and/or listing standards. By utilizing the ADRs, the Manager believes the index will be more efficient and will be focused on the higher quality, blue chip companies from these four countries. Given that the ADRs underlying the index are U.S.-dollar denominated, the Claymore BRIC ETF will hedge its exposure to U.S. dollars to reduce currency risk.
Companies are selected using a proprietary methodology developed by the Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY”) and that several criteria including trading on a U.S. exchange and minimum liquidity, share price and market capitalization levels.
