The Claymore CorePortfolio™ ETFs provide a simple way for investors to get access to a broadly diversified portfolio across core asset classes in one low cost fund. Core asset classes include:

  • Fixed Income
  • Preferred Shares
  • Commodities

Whether a portfolio is small or large, the Claymore CorePortfolio™ ETFs may provide a great starting point or core holding for an investor’s portfolio.

Claymore CorePortfolio™ ETFs seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield, before fees and expenses, of the Sabrient Global Balanced Indices, which allocate among multiple asset class ETFs. The Indices are diversified by asset class, geography and strategy to match an individual’s investment goals and risk tolerance, while achieving superior, risk-adjusted returns.

The Claymore Balanced Growth CorePortfolio™ ETF has a considerable weighting in ETFs containing global equities plus additional asset class diversification through exposure to Canadian government, corporate and real-return fixed income, real estate securities, and commodities. The strategic allocation of the index is rebalanced quarterly by Sabrient to preserve the original profile. The Claymore Balanced Growth CorePortfolio™ ETF aims to give you:

  • Above average potential for capital appreciation
  • Broad investment opportunities through geographic diversification
  • Good industry diversification
