Guggenheim closes large-cap optimised ETF

The ETF will cease trading on the NYSE Arca on 18 December 2017.

The ETF tracks the Wilshire Large Cap Optimized Diversification Index, which uses a proprietary algorithm to optimise diversification by selecting a subset of stocks, generally with higher stock-specific risk (diversifiable risk), and weighting them so that each stock contributes approximately the same amount of correlation-weighted risk to the parent index, the market cap weighted Wilshire Large Cap Index.

Following the close of trading on 18 December 2017, shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem shares from the fund or purchase or sell the fund in the secondary market.

If no action is taken by a shareholder of the fund prior to the liquidation date, the fund will distribute a cash payment equal to the 21 December 2017 net asset value of each remaining shareholder’s fund shares. Proceeds will be distributed as of the close of business on 22 December 2017.
