Introducing <strong>Guggenheim</strong><strong>Credit</strong> <strong>Allocation</strong> <strong>Fund</strong> (<strong>GGM</strong>)Closed-End <strong>Fund</strong>Structure Benefits<strong>Guggenheim</strong> believes the <strong>Guggenheim</strong><strong>Credit</strong> <strong>Allocation</strong> <strong>Fund</strong>’s investmentstrategy can be optimized within a closedendfund structure. Because the <strong>Fund</strong> willbe traded on an exchange, <strong>Fund</strong> shareholdersare provided liquidity while the<strong>Fund</strong> maintains a stable asset base. Thisstable asset base will allow the portfoliomanagement team to more efficientlymanage the <strong>Fund</strong> without considerationof new purchases and redemptions.Additionally, the portfolio managementteam will have the flexibility to seek tomaximize returns through the use ofleverage, and the opportunity to invest inless liquid, higher-yielding securities.The <strong>Guggenheim</strong> <strong>Credit</strong> <strong>Allocation</strong> <strong>Fund</strong> has a flexible mandate that will seek total return througha combination of current income and capital appreciation. The <strong>Fund</strong> will seek to achieve itsinvestment objective by investing in a portfolio of credit securities selected from a variety of sectorsand credit qualities. In the current market environment, the <strong>Fund</strong> anticipates investing in higheryielding,more credit-sensitive and less interest rate sensitive segments of the fixed income markets.The <strong>Fund</strong> intends to tactically allocate among these segments based upon the relative value ofeach segment, and to actively manage the portfolio’s duration to seek to minimize interest raterisk. The <strong>Fund</strong> will access <strong>Guggenheim</strong>’s unique capabilities that combine in-depth macro research,intensive fundamental research and legal analysis, and rigorous risk management. Given thecurrent economic environment, <strong>Guggenheim</strong> believes the <strong>Guggenheim</strong> <strong>Credit</strong> <strong>Allocation</strong> <strong>Fund</strong>may be an attractive alternative for investors frustrated by current low yields.Target Initial Portfolio <strong>Allocation</strong> 110%55% 35%The <strong>Fund</strong>’s target initial portfolio allocationis 55% senior secured bank loans, 35% highyield bonds and 10% asset-backed securities 2and the <strong>Fund</strong> will initially maintain a shorteraverage portfolio duration. <strong>Guggenheim</strong>will dynamically adjust the <strong>Fund</strong>’s portfolioallocations and average portfolio durationbased on current market conditions 1 .■ Bank Loans■ High Yield Bonds■ ABSAccess <strong>Guggenheim</strong> <strong>Investments</strong>’ CapabilitiesThe key to <strong>Guggenheim</strong>’s fixed income investing success is not only the quality of our people,but our willingness to organize ourselves in a manner that is consistent with investment excellence.As a result, <strong>Guggenheim</strong> <strong>Investments</strong> dedicates significant time and resources to in-depth macroresearch, intensive fundamental research and legal analysis, and rigorous risk management.Given the significant impact that future economic and policy conditions have on the value ofinvestments, in-depth macro research is essential to <strong>Guggenheim</strong>’s investment success.

Actual <strong>Fund</strong> investments and actualportfolio characteristics initially and on an ongoing basis will be based on market conditions at the timeof investment and may differ from that set forth herein. Under current market conditions the <strong>Fund</strong> intendsto initially maintain a shorter average portfolio duration. However, the <strong>Fund</strong> may invest in securities of anyduration or maturity. The <strong>Fund</strong>’s allocation of its investments among specific market segments may varysignificantly over time based on the sub adviser’s analysis and judgment. The overall credit quality, durationand maturity of the <strong>Fund</strong>’s portfolio may vary significantly over time. As a result, the particular risks mostrelevant to an investment in the <strong>Fund</strong>, as well as the overall risk profile of the <strong>Fund</strong>’s portfolio, may varyover time. The sub adviser employs an active approach to the <strong>Fund</strong>’s investment allocation, but there is noguarantee that such allocation will produce the desired results.2 The <strong>Fund</strong> may invest up to 20% of its assets in ABS and at time of investment will invest only in investmentgradeABS.
