the Utilities Portfolio, Series 24 (the "Utilities Trust") (collectively

================================================================================
HEALTH CARE PORTFOLIO, SERIES 21


     Use this Investment Summary to help you decide whether an investment in
this trust is right for you. More detailed information can be found later in
this prospectus.

                              Investment Objective

     The Health Care Trust seeks to maximize total return through capital
appreciation with a secondary objective of current income.

                         Principal Investment Strategy

     Under normal circumstances, the trust invests at least 80% of the value of
its assets in stocks of companies that are classified as being in the health
care sector by the Global Industry Classification Standard ("GICS"), or are
believed by the sponsor to have a significant level of revenues directly
derived from health care related products and services. The sponsor selects
securities for the portfolio that it believes have the potential to achieve the
trust's investment objective.

                               Security Selection

     The sponsor selects U.S.-traded securities that it believes are core
holdings of a health care portfolio. To select the portfolio, the sponsor
follows a disciplined process that includes both quantitative and qualitative
analysis. The sponsor begins with the securities of companies that are
classified as being in the health care sector by GICS, or are believed by the
sponsor to have a significant level of revenues directly derived from health
care related products and services, and are either components of the Russell
3000 Index ("R3K") or have market capitalizations larger than the smallest
company within the R3K. The sponsor then reduces the size of this universe by
performing quantitative screening, which may be primarily based on, but not
limited to, the following factors:

     o    Valuation. The sponsor may screen for reasonably valued securities
          based on measures such as price-to-earnings, price-to-book, and
          price-to-cash flow.

     o    Growth. The sponsor may screen for companies with a history of better
          than average growth of revenues and earnings.

     o    Profitability. The sponsor may screen for companies with a history of
          consistent and high profitability as measured by return-on-assets,
          return-on-equity, gross margin and net margin.

     The sponsor then reduces the securities by performing qualitative
analysis, which may be primarily based on, but not limited to, the following
factors:

     o    Balance Sheet. The sponsor favors companies which possess overall
          financial strength and exhibit balance sheet improvements relative to
          their peers and the marketplace.

     o    Industry Leadership. The sponsor favors companies which possess a
          strong competitive position among their domestic and global peers.

     o    Valuation. The sponsor favors stocks for which valuations appear to be
          attractive based on measures such as price-to-earnings, price-to-book,
          and price-to-cash flow.

     o    Growth. The sponsor favors companies with a history of (and prospects
          for) better than average growth of revenues and earnings.

     o    Profitability. The sponsor favors companies with a history of (and
          prospects for) consistent and high profitability as measured by
          return-on-assets, return-on-equity, gross margin and net margin.

                                 Future Trusts

     The sponsor may create future trusts that follow the same general
investment strategy. One such trust is expected to be available approximately
six months after the trust's initial date of deposit (the "Inception Date") and
upon the trust's termination. If these future trusts are available, you may be
able to reinvest into one of the trusts at a reduced sales charge. Each trust
is designed to be part of a longer term strategy.

                                Principal Risks

     As with all investments, you may lose some or all of your investment in
the trust. No assurance can be given that the trust's investment objective will
be achieved. The trust also might not perform as well as you expect. This can
happen for reasons such as these:

     o    Securities prices can be volatile. The value of your investment may
          fall over time. Market value fluctuates in response to various
          factors. These can include stock market movements, purchases or sales
          of securities by the trust, government policies, litigation, and
          changes in interest rates, inflation, the financial condition of the
          securities' issuer or even perceptions of the issuer. Units of the
          trust are not deposits of any bank and are not insured or guaranteed
          by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government
          agency.

     o    The trust is concentrated in the health care sector. As a result, the
          factors that impact the health care sector will likely have a greater
          effect on this trust than on a more broadly diversified trust. General
          risks of companies in the health care sector include extensive
          competition, generic drug sales, the loss of patent protection,
          product liability litigation and increased government regulation.


     o    The trust is concentrated in the securities of biotechnology
          companies. As a result, the factors that impact the biotechnology
          industry will likely have a greater effect on this trust than on a
          more broadly diversified trust. Biotechnology companies face intense
          competition and the potential for rapid product obsolescence. A
          biotechnology company's valuation can be based largely on the
          potential or actual performance of a limited number of products and
          can accordingly be greatly affected if one of its products proves
          unsafe, ineffective or unprofitable. Biotechnology companies are
          subject to regulation by, and the restrictions of, the Food and Drug
          Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, state and local
          governments, and foreign regulatory authorities. Biotechnology
          companies may be adversely affected by the loss or impairment of
          intellectual property rights or changes in government regulations.

     o    The trust is concentrated in the securities of pharmaceutical
          companies. As a result, the factors that impact the pharmaceuticals
          industry will likely have a greater effect on this trust than on a
          more broadly diversified trust. Companies in the pharmaceuticals
          industry can be significantly affected by government approval of
          products and services, government regulation, reimbursement rates and
          patent expirations and protection. Additionally, pharmaceutical
          companies can be adversely affected by intense competition, dependency
          on a limited number of products, obsolescence of products and product
          liability claims.


     o    The trust includes securities issued by small-capitalization and
          mid-capitalization companies. These securities customarily involve
          more investment risk than large-capitalization companies.
          Small-capitalization and mid-capitalization companies may have limited
          product lines, markets or financial resources and may be more
          vulnerable to adverse general market or economic developments.

     o    Share prices or dividend rates on the securities in the trust may
          decline during the life of the trust. There is no guarantee that share
          prices of the securities in the trust will not decline and that the
          issuers of the securities will declare dividends in the future and, if
          declared, whether they will remain at current levels or increase over
          time.

     o    Inflation may lead to a decrease in the value of assets or income from
          investments.

     o    The sponsor does not actively manage the portfolio. The trust will
          generally hold, and may, when creating additional units, continue to
          buy, the same securities even though a security's outlook, market
          value or yield may have changed.

     See "Investment Risks" in Part A of the prospectus and "Risk Factors" in
Part B of the prospectus for additional information.

                               Who Should Invest

     You should consider this investment if:

     o    You want to own a defined portfolio of securities selected from the
          health care sector;

     o    The trust represents only a portion of your overall investment
          portfolio; and

     o    The trust is part of a longer-term investment strategy that may
          include investment in subsequent portfolios, if available.

     You should not consider this investment if:

     o    You are uncomfortable with the portfolio's investment in securities
          issued by companies in the health care sector;

     o    You are uncomfortable with the risks of an unmanaged investment in
          securities; or

     o    You want high current income or capital preservation as a primary
          investment objective.

(1)  The initial sales fee provided above is based on the unit price on the
     Inception Date. Because the initial sales fee equals the difference between
     the maximum sales fee and the sum of the remaining deferred sales fee and
     the creation and development fee ("C&D Fee") (as described below), the
     percentage and dollar amount of the initial sales fee will vary as the unit
     price varies and after deferred fees begin. Despite the variability of the
     initial sales fee, each investor is obligated to pay the entire applicable
     maximum sales fee.


(2)  The deferred sales fee is fixed at $0.245 per unit and is deducted in
     monthly installments of $0.0817 per unit on the last business day of each
     month in February 2017 and March 2017 and $0.0816 per unit on the last
     business day of April 2017. The percentage provided is based on a $10 per
     unit Public Offering Price as of the Inception Date and the percentage
     amount will vary over time. If units are redeemed prior to the deferred
     sales fee period, the entire deferred sales fee will be collected.


(3)  The C&D Fee compensates the sponsor for creating and developing your trust.
     The actual C&D Fee is $0.05 per unit and is paid to the sponsor at the
     close of the initial offering period, which is expected to be approximately
     six months from the Inception Date. The percentages provided are based on a
     $10 unit as of the Inception Date and the percentage amount will vary over
     time. If the unit price exceeds $10.00 per unit, the C&D Fee will be less
     than 0.50% of the Public Offering Price; if the unit price is less than
     $10.00 per unit, the C&D Fee will exceed 0.50% of the Public Offering
     Price. However, in no event will the maximum sales fee exceed 3.95% of a
     unitholder's initial investment.

(4)  Based on 100 units with a $10 per unit Public Offering Price as of the
     Inception Date.


(5)  The estimated trust operating expenses are based upon an estimated trust
     size of approximately $19 million. Because certain of the operating
     expenses are fixed amounts, if the trust does not reach such estimated size
     or falls below the estimated size over its life, the actual amount of the
     operating expenses may exceed the amounts reflected. In some cases, the
     actual amount of the operating expenses may greatly exceed the amounts
     reflected. Other operating expenses do not include brokerage costs and
     other transactional fees.


                                    Example

     This example helps you compare the costs of this trust with other unit
trusts and mutual funds. In the example we assume that you reinvest your
investment in a new trust every other year at a reduced sales charge, the
trust's operating expenses do not change and the trust's annual return is 5%.
Your actual returns and expenses will vary. Based on these assumptions, you
would pay these expenses for every $10,000 you invest:


1 year   $     502
3 years        946
5 years      1,414
10 years     2,461


     These amounts are the same regardless of whether you sell your investment
at the end of a period or continue to hold your investment. The example does
not consider any brokerage fees the trust pays or any transaction fees that
broker-dealers may charge for processing redemption requests.

     See "Expenses of the Trust" in Part B of the prospectus for additional
information.

More detailed information can be found later in this prospectus. Investment Objective The Utilities Trust seeks to provide a high level of income with a secondary objective of capital growth. Principal Investment Strategy Under normal circumstances, the trust invests at least 80% of the value of its assets in stocks classified as being in the utilities sector by the Global Industry Classification Standard ("GICS"). The trust invests in companies across the utilities sector including integrated electric, pipeline and gas distribution companies. The sponsor selects stocks for the trust that it believes have the potential to achieve the trust's investment objective. Security Selection The sponsor selects securities of U.S.-traded companies that it believes are core holdings of a utilities portfolio. To select the portfolio the sponsor follows a disciplined process which includes both quantitative and qualitative analysis. The sponsor begins with stocks that are traded on U.S. exchanges and are classified as companies in the utilities sector. The sponsor then reduces the companies by performing quantitative screening, which may be primarily based on, but not limited to, the following factors: o Valuation. The sponsor may screen for reasonably valued companies based on measures such as price-to- earnings, price-to-book and price-to-cash flow. o Growth. The sponsor may screen for companies with a history of better than average growth of revenues and earnings. o Profitability. The sponsor may screen for companies with a history of consistent and high profitability as measured by return-on-assets, return-on-equity, gross margin and net margin. The sponsor then reduces the remaining companies by performing qualitative analysis, which may be primarily based on, but not limited to, the following factors: o Balance Sheet. The sponsor favors companies that possess overall financial strength and exhibit balance sheet improvements relative to their peers and the marketplace. o Industry Leadership. The sponsor favors companies that possess a strong competitive position among their domestic and global peers. o Valuation. The sponsor favors companies whose valuations appear to be attractive based on measures such as price-to-earnings, price-to-book and price-to-cash flow. o Growth. The sponsor favors companies with a history of (and prospects for) better than average growth of revenues and earnings. o Profitability. The sponsor favors companies with a history of (and prospects for) consistent and high profitability as measured by return-on-assets, return-on-equity, gross margin and net margin. Future Trusts The sponsor may create future trusts that follow the same general investment strategy. One such trust is expected to be available approximately six months after the trust's initial date of deposit (the "Inception Date") and upon the trust's termination. If these future trusts are available, you may be able to reinvest into one of the trusts at a reduced sales charge. Each trust is designed to be part of a longer term strategy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Essential Information (as of the Inception Date) Inception Date July 27, 2016 Unit Price $10.00 Termination Date July 27, 2018 Distribution Date 25th day of each month (commencing August 25, 2016, if any) Record Date 15th day of each month (commencing August 15, 2016, if any) CUSIP Numbers Cash Distributions Standard Accounts 40171K781 Fee Account Cash 40171K807 Reinvested Distributions Standard Accounts 40171K799 Fee Account Reinvest 40171K815 Ticker COPUYX Portfolio Diversification Approximate Sector Portfolio Percentage -------------------- -------------------- Utilities 100.00% ------- Total 100.00% ======= Country/Territory Approximate (Headquartered) Portfolio Percentage -------------------- -------------------- United States 100.00% ------- Total 100.00% ======= Market Approximate Capitalization Portfolio Percentage -------------------- -------------------- Small-Capitalization 6.68% Mid-Capitalization 53.87 Large-Capitalization 39.45 ------- Total 100.00% ======= Minimum Investment All accounts 1 unit -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Principal Risks As with all investments, you may lose some or all of your investment in the trust. No assurance can be given that the trust's investment objective will be achieved. The trust also might not perform as well as you expect. This can happen for reasons such as these: o Securities prices can be volatile. The value of your investment may fall over time. Market value fluctuates in response to various factors. These can include stock market movements, purchases or sales of securities by the trust, government policies, litigation, and changes in interest rates, inflation, the financial condition of the securities' issuer or even perceptions of the issuer. Units of the trust are not deposits of any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. o The trust is concentrated in the utilities sector. As a result, the factors that impact the utilities sector will likely have a greater effect on this trust than on a more broadly diversified trust. Adverse developments in this sector may significantly affect the value of your units. Companies involved in the utilities sector must contend with environmental considerations, taxes, government regulation, price and supply fluctuations, competition and energy conservation. o The trust invests in securities issued by small-capitalization and mid-capitalization companies. These securities customarily involve more investment risk than securities of large-capitalization companies. Small-capitalization and mid-capitalization companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources and may be more vulnerable to adverse general market or economic developments. o Share prices or dividend rates on the securities in the trust may decline during the life of the trust. There is no guarantee that share prices of the securities in the trust will not decline and that the issuers of the securities will declare dividends in the future and, if declared, whether they will remain at current levels or increase over time. o The sponsor does not actively manage the portfolio. The trust will generally hold, and may, when creating additional units, continue to buy, the same securities even though a security's outlook, market value or yield may have changed. o Inflation may lead to a decrease in the value of assets or income from investments. See "Investment Risks" in Part A of the prospectus and "Risk Factors" in Part B of the prospectus for additional information. Who Should Invest You should consider this investment if: o You want to own a defined portfolio of stocks selected from the utilities sector; o The trust represents only a portion of your overall investment portfolio; o The trust is part of a longer-term investment strategy that may include investment in subsequent portfolios, if available; and o The trust is combined with other investment vehicles to provide diversification of method to your overall portfolio. You should not consider this investment if: o You are uncomfortable with the trust's investment strategy; o You are uncomfortable with the risks of an unmanaged investment in securities; or o You want capital preservation. Fees and Expenses The amounts below are estimates of the direct and indirect fees and expenses that you may incur based on a $10 unit price. Actual expenses may vary. Percentage of Public Amount Per Offering $1,000 Investor Fees Price (4) Invested ------------------------------ ----------- ---------- Initial sales fee paid on purchase (1) 1.00% $10.00 Deferred sales fee (2) 2.45 24.50 Creation and development fee (3) 0.50 5.00 ----------- ---------- Maximum sales fees (including creation and development fee) 3.95% $39.50 =========== ========== Estimated organization costs (amount per 100 units paid by the trust at the end of the initial offering period or after six months, at the discretion of the sponsor) $8.00 =========== Approximate Annual Fund % of Public Operating Offering Amount Per Expenses Price (4) 100 Units ------------------------------ ----------- ---------- Trustee's fee 0.1050% $1.050 Sponsor's supervisory fee 0.0300 0.300 Evaluator's fee 0.0350 0.350 Bookkeeping and administrative fee 0.0350 0.350 Estimated other trust operating expenses (5) 0.0210 0.210 ----------- ---------- Total 0.2260% $2.260 =========== ========== (1) The initial sales fee provided above is based on the unit price on the Inception Date. Because the initial sales fee equals the difference between the maximum sales fee and the sum of the remaining deferred sales fee and the creation and development fee ("C&D Fee") (as described below), the percentage and dollar amount of the initial sales fee will vary as the unit price varies and after deferred fees begin. Despite the variability of the initial sales fee, each investor is obligated to pay the entire applicable maximum sales fee. (2) The deferred sales fee is fixed at $0.245 per unit and is deducted in monthly installments of $0.0817 per unit on the last business day of February 2017 and March 2017 and $0.0816 per unit on the last business day of April 2017. The percentage provided is based on a $10 per unit Public Offering Price as of the Inception Date and the percentage amount will vary over time. If units are redeemed prior to the deferred sales fee period, the entire deferred sales fee will be collected. (3) The C&D Fee compensates the sponsor for creating and developing your trust. The actual C&D Fee is $0.05 per unit and is paid to the sponsor at the close of the initial offering period, which is expected to be approximately six months from the Inception Date. The percentages provided are based on a $10 unit as of the Inception Date and the percentage amount will vary over time. If the unit price exceeds $10.00 per unit, the C&D Fee will be less than 0.50% of the Public Offering Price; if the unit price is less than $10.00 per unit, the C&D Fee will exceed 0.50% of the Public Offering Price. However, in no event will the maximum sales fee exceed 3.95% of a unitholder's initial investment. (4) Based on 100 units with a $10.00 per unit Public Offering Price as of the Inception Date. (5) The estimated trust operating expenses are based upon an estimated trust size of approximately $28 million. Because certain of the operating expenses are fixed amounts, if the trust does not reach such estimated size or falls below the estimated size over its life, the actual amount of the operating expenses may exceed the amounts reflected. In some cases, the actual amount of the operating expenses may greatly exceed the amounts reflected. Other operating expenses do not include brokerage costs and other transactional fees. Example This example helps you compare the costs of this trust with other unit trusts and mutual funds. In the example we assume that you reinvest your investment in a new trust every other year at a reduced sales charge, the trust's operating expenses do not change and the trust's annual return is 5%. Your actual returns and expenses will vary. Based on these assumptions, you would pay these expenses for every $10,000 you invest: 1 year $ 501 3 years 943 5 years 1,411 10 years 2,453 These amounts are the same regardless of whether you sell your investment at the end of a period or continue to hold your investment. The example does not consider any brokerage fees the trust pays or transaction fees that broker-dealers may charge for processing redemption requests.

(1) All securities are represented entirely by contracts to purchase securities, which were entered into by the sponsor on July 26, 2016. All contracts for securities are expected to be settled by the initial settlement date for the purchase of units. (2) Valuation of securities by the trustee was performed as of the Evaluation Time on July 26, 2016. For securities quoted on a national exchange, including the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc., securities are generally valued at the closing sale price using the market value per share. For foreign securities traded on a foreign exchange, securities are generally valued at the closing sale price on the applicable exchange converted into U.S. dollars. The trust's investments are classified as Level 1, which refers to security prices determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. (3) There was a $74 loss to the sponsor on the Inception Date. The following footnotes only apply when noted. (4) Non-income producing security.

Public offering prices of units are available daily on the Internet at www.guggenheiminvestments.com. The unit price includes: o the value of the securities, o organization costs, o the maximum sales fee (which includes an initial sales fee, a deferred sales fee and the creation and development fee), and o cash and other net assets in the portfolio. We often refer to the purchase price of units as the "offer price" or the "Public Offering Price." We must receive your order to buy units prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) to give you the price for that day. If we receive your order after this time, you will receive the price computed on the next business day. Value of the Securities. The sponsor serves as the evaluator of your trust (the "evaluator"). We cause the trustee to determine the value of the securities as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange on each day that the exchange is open (the "Evaluation Time"). Pricing the Securities. The value of securities is generally determined by using the last sale price for securities traded on a national or foreign securities exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market. In some cases we will price a security based on the last asked or bid price in the over-the-counter market or by using other recognized pricing methods. We will only do this if a security is not principally traded on a national or foreign securities exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market, or if the market quotes are unavailable or inappropriate. If applicable, the trustee or its designee will value foreign securities primarily traded on foreign exchanges at their fair value which may be other than their market prices if the market quotes are unavailable or inappropriate. The trustee determined the initial prices of the securities shown in "Trust Portfolio" for your trust in this prospectus. Such prices were determined as described above at the close of the New York Stock Exchange on the business day before the date of this prospectus. On the first day we sell units we will compute the unit price as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange or the time the registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission becomes effective, if later. Organization Costs. During the initial offering period, part of your purchase price includes a per unit amount sufficient to reimburse us for some or all of the costs of creating your trust. These costs include the costs of preparing the registration statement and legal documents, legal fees, federal and state registration fees, the portfolio consulting fee, if applicable, and the initial fees and expenses of the trustee. Your trust will sell securities to reimburse us for these costs at the end of the initial offering period or after six months, at the discretion of the sponsor. Organization costs will not exceed the estimate set forth under "Fees and Expenses." Transactional Sales Fee. You pay a fee when you buy units. We refer to this fee as the "transactional sales fee." The transactional sales fee has both an initial and a deferred component and is 3.45% of the Public Offering Price based on a $10 unit. This percentage amount of the transactional sales fee is based on the unit price on the Inception Date. Because the transactional sales fee equals the difference between the maximum sales fee and the C&D Fee, the percentage and dollar amount of the transactional sales fee will vary as the unit price varies. The transactional sales fee does not include the C&D Fee which is described under "Expenses of the Trust" in Part B of the prospectus and in "Fees and Expenses" in Part A of the prospectus. Initial Sales Fee. Based on a $10 unit, the initial sales fee is initially 1% of the Public Offering Price. The initial sales fee, which you will pay at the time of purchase, is equal to the difference between the maximum sales fee (3.95% of the Public Offering Price) and the sum of the maximum remaining deferred sales fees and the C&D Fee (initially $0.295 per unit). The dollar amount and percentage amount of the initial sales fee will vary over time. Deferred Sales Fee. We defer payment of the rest of the transactional sales fee through the deferred sales fee ($0.245 per unit). You pay any remaining deferred sales fee when you sell or redeem units. The trusts may sell securities to meet the trusts' obligations with respect to the deferred sales fee. Thus, no assurance can be given that a trust will retain its present size and composition for any length of time. In limited circumstances and only if deemed in the best interests of unitholders, the sponsor may delay the payment of the deferred sales fee from the dates listed under "Fees and Expenses." Reducing Your Sales Fee. We offer a variety of ways for you to reduce the maximum sales fee you pay. It is your financial professional's responsibility to alert us of any discount when you order units. Since the deferred sales fee and the C&D Fee are a fixed dollar amount per unit, your trust must charge the deferred sales fee and the C&D Fee per unit regardless of any discounts. However, when you purchase units of your trust, if you are eligible to receive a discount such that your total maximum sales fee is less than the fixed dollar amount of the deferred sales fee and the C&D Fee, the sponsor will credit you the difference between your maximum sales fee and the sum of the deferred sales fee and the C&D Fee at the time you buy units by providing you with additional units. Large Purchases. You can reduce your maximum sales fee by increasing the size of your investment. Investors who make large purchases are entitled to the following sales charge reductions: Sales Charge Reductions (as a % of the Public Purchase Amount Offering Price) ------------------------------------ Less than $50,000 0.00% $50,000 - $99,999 0.25 $100,000 - $249,999 0.50 $250,000 - $499,999 0.75 $500,000 - $999,999 1.00 $1,000,000 or more 1.50 Aggregate unit purchases of any Guggenheim Funds trust by the same person on any single day from any one broker-dealer qualify for a purchase level. You can include these purchases as your own for purposes of this aggregation: o purchases by your spouse or children under the age of 21 living in the same household, and o purchases by your trust estate or fiduciary accounts. The discounts described above apply only during the initial offering period. There can be no assurance that the sponsor will create future trusts with investment strategies similar to your trust or that may fit within your investment parameters. Advisory and Fee Accounts. We eliminate your transactional sales fee for purchases made through registered investment advisers, certified financial planners or registered broker-dealers who charge periodic fees in lieu of commissions or who charge for financial planning or for investment advisory or asset management services or provide these services as part of an investment account where a comprehensive "wrap fee" is imposed (a "Fee Account"). This discount applies during the initial offering period and in the secondary market. Your financial professional may purchase units with the Fee Account CUSIP numbers to facilitate purchases under this discount; however, we do not require that you buy units with these CUSIP numbers to qualify for the discount. If you purchase units with these special CUSIP numbers, you should be aware that you may have the distributions automatically reinvest into additional units of your trust or receive cash distributions. We reserve the right to limit or deny purchases of units not subject to the transactional sales fee by investors whose frequent trading activity we determine to be detrimental to your trust. We, as sponsor, will receive and you will pay the C&D Fee. See "Expenses of the Trust" in Part B of the prospectus for additional information. Exchange or Rollover Option. If you are buying units of your trust in the primary market with redemption or termination proceeds from any unit trust, you may purchase units at 99% of the maximum Public Offering Price, which may include an up-front sales fee and a deferred sales fee. To qualify for this sales charge reduction, the termination or redemption proceeds being used to purchase units of a trust must be no more than 30 days old. Such purchases entitled to this sales charge reduction may be classified as "Rollover Purchases." An exchange or rollover is generally treated as a sale for federal income tax purposes. See "Taxes" in Part B of the prospectus. Rollover Purchases are also subject to the C&D Fee. See "Expenses of the Trust" in Part B of the prospectus. Employees. We do not charge the portion of the transactional sales fee that we would normally pay to your financial professional for purchases made by officers, directors and employees and their family members (spouses, children under the age of 21 living in the same household and parents) of Guggenheim Funds and its affiliates, or by employees of selling firms and their family members (spouses, children under the age of 21 living in the same household and parents). You pay only the portion of the fee that the sponsor retains. Such purchases are also subject to the C&D Fee. This discount applies during the initial offering period and in the secondary market. Only those broker-dealers that allow their employees to participate in employee discount programs will be eligible for this discount. Dividend Reinvestment Plan. We do not charge any transactional sales fee when you reinvest distributions from your trust into additional units of the trust. Since the deferred sales fee is a fixed dollar amount per unit, your trust must charge the deferred sales fee per unit regardless of this discount. If you elect the distribution reinvestment plan, we will credit you with additional units with a dollar value sufficient to cover the amount of any remaining deferred sales fee that will be collected on such units at the time of reinvestment. The dollar value of these units will fluctuate over time. This discount applies during the initial offering period and in the secondary market. See "Purchase, Redemption and Pricing of Units" in Part B of the prospectus for more information regarding buying units. How We Distribute Units. We sell units to the public through broker-dealers and other firms. We pay part of the sales fee you pay to these distribution firms when they sell units. The distribution fee paid for a given transaction is as follows: Concession per Unit (as a Purchase Amount/ % of the Public Form of Purchase Offering Price) ------------------------------------ Less than $50,000 3.10% $50,000 - $99,999 2.85 $100,000 - $249,999 2.60 $250,000 - $499,999 2.35 $500,000 - $999,999 2.25 $1,000,000 or more 1.80 Rollover Purchases 2.20 Fee Account and Employee Purchases 0.00 We apply these amounts as a percent of the unit price per transaction at the time of the transaction. Broker-dealers and other firms that sell units of certain Guggenheim Funds unit trusts are eligible to receive additional compensation for volume sales. Such payments will be in addition to the regular concessions paid to dealer firms as set forth in the applicable trust's prospectus. The additional payments will be as follows: Primary Offering Additional Period Sales During Volume Calendar Quarter Concession --------------------------------------- $0 but less than $10 million 0.000% $10 million but less than $25 million 0.075 $25 million but less than $50 million 0.100 $50 million or more 0.125 Eligible unit trusts include all Guggenheim Funds unit trusts sold in the primary market. Redemptions of units during the primary offering period will reduce the amount of units used to calculate the volume concessions. In addition, dealer firms will not receive volume concessions on the sale of units which are not subject to a transactional sales fee. However, such sales will be included in determining whether a firm has met the sales level breakpoints for volume concessions. Guggenheim Funds reserves the right to modify or terminate the volume concession program at any time. The sponsor may also pay to certain dealers an administrative fee for information or service used in connection with the distribution of trust units. Such amounts will be in addition to any concessions received for the sale of units. In addition to the concessions described above, the sponsor may pay additional compensation out of its own assets to broker-dealers that meet certain sales targets and that have agreed to provide services relating to your trust to their customers. Other Compensation and Benefits to Broker-Dealers. The sponsor, at its own expense and out of its own profits, may provide additional compensation and benefits to broker-dealers who sell shares of units of your trust and other Guggenheim Funds products. This compensation is intended to result in additional sales of Guggenheim Funds products and/or compensate broker-dealers and financial advisors for past sales. A number of factors are considered in determining whether to pay these additional amounts. Such factors may include, but are not limited to, the level or type of services provided by the intermediary, the level or expected level of sales of Guggenheim Funds products by the intermediary or its agents, the placing of Guggenheim Funds products on a preferred or recommended product list, access to an intermediary's personnel, and other factors. The sponsor makes these payments for marketing, promotional or related expenses, including, but not limited to, expenses of entertaining retail customers and financial advisers, advertising, sponsorship of events or seminars, obtaining information about the breakdown of unit sales among an intermediary's representatives or offices, obtaining shelf space in broker-dealer firms and similar activities designed to promote the sale of the sponsor's products. The sponsor may make such payments to many intermediaries that sell Guggenheim Funds products. The sponsor may also make certain payments to, or on behalf of, intermediaries to defray a portion of their costs incurred for the purpose of facilitating unit sales, such as the costs of developing trading or purchasing trading systems to process unit trades. Payments of such additional compensation, some of which may be characterized as "revenue sharing," may create an incentive for financial intermediaries and their agents to sell or recommend a Guggenheim Funds product, including your trust, over products offered by other sponsors or fund companies. These arrangements will not change the price you pay for your units. We generally register units for sale in various states in the United States. We do not register units for sale in any foreign country. It is your financial professional's responsibility to make sure that units are registered or exempt from registration if you are a foreign investor or if you want to buy units in another country. This prospectus does not constitute an offer of units in any state or country where units cannot be offered or sold lawfully. We may reject any order for units in whole or in part. We may gain or lose money when we hold units in the primary or secondary market due to fluctuations in unit prices. The gain or loss is equal to the difference between the price we pay for units and the price at which we sell or redeem them. We may also gain or lose money when we deposit securities to create units. For example, we lost the amounts set forth in each trust's "Trust Portfolio" on the initial deposit of securities into each trust. See "Purchase, Redemption and Pricing of Units" in Part B of the prospectus for additional information. How to Sell Your Units You can sell your units on any business day by contacting your financial professional or, in some cases, the trustee. Unit prices are available daily on the Internet at www.guggenheiminvestments.com or through your financial professional. We often refer to the sale price of units as the "liquidation price." You pay any remaining deferred sales fee when you sell or redeem your units. Certain broker-dealers may charge a transaction fee for processing unit redemptions or sale requests. Until the end of the initial offering period or six months after the Inception Date, at the discretion of the sponsor, the price at which the trustee will redeem units and the price at which the sponsor may repurchase units include estimated organization costs. After such period, the amount paid will not include such estimated organization costs. If units of a trust are redeemed prior to the deferred sales fee period, the entire deferred sales fee will be collected. Selling Units. We do not intend to but may maintain a secondary market for units. This means that if you want to sell your units, we may buy them at the current price which is based on their net asset value. We may then resell the units to other investors at the Public Offering Price or redeem them for the redemption price. Our secondary market repurchase price is generally the same as the redemption price. Certain broker-dealers might also maintain a secondary market in units. You should contact your financial professional for current unit prices to determine the best price available. We may discontinue our secondary market at any time without notice. Even if we do not make a market, you will be able to redeem your units with the trustee on any business day for the current price. Redeeming Units. You may also be able to redeem your units directly with the trustee, The Bank of New York Mellon, on any day the New York Stock Exchange is open. The trustee must receive your completed redemption request prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange for you to receive the unit price for a particular day. (For what constitutes a completed redemption request, see "Purchase, Redemption and Pricing of Units--Redemption" in Part B of the prospectus.) If your request is received after that time or is incomplete in any way, you will receive the next price computed after the trustee receives your completed request. Rather than contacting the trustee directly, your financial professional may also be able to redeem your units by using the Investors' Voluntary Redemptions and Sales (IVORS) automated redemption service offered through Depository Trust Company. If you redeem your units, the trustee will generally send you a payment for your units no later than three business days after it receives all necessary documentation. At the sponsor's discretion, certain redemptions may be made by an in-kind distribution of the securities underlying the units in lieu of cash. You can generally request an in-kind distribution of the securities underlying your units if you own units worth at least $25,000 or you originally paid at least that amount for your units. This option is generally available only for securities traded and held in the United States and is not available within 30 business days of a trust's termination. We may modify or discontinue this option at any time without notice. Exchange Option. You may be able to exchange your units for units of other Guggenheim Funds unit trusts at a reduced sales fee. You can contact your financial professional or Guggenheim Funds for more information about trusts currently available for exchanges. Before you exchange units, you should read the prospectus carefully and understand the risks and fees. You should then discuss this option with your financial professional to determine whether your investment goals have changed, whether current trusts suit you and to discuss tax consequences. To qualify for a reduced sales fee, you may need to meet certain criteria. We may discontinue this option at any time. For more complete information regarding selling or redeeming your units, see "Purchase, Redemption and Pricing of Units" in Part B of the prospectus. Distributions Dividends. Your trust generally pays dividends from its net investment income, if any, along with any excess capital on each distribution date to unitholders of record on the preceding record date. You can elect to: o reinvest distributions in additional units of your trust at no fee, or o receive distributions in cash. You may change your election by contacting your financial professional or the trustee. Once you elect to participate in a reinvestment program, the trustee will automatically reinvest your distributions into additional units at their net asset value three business days prior to the distribution date. We waive the sales fee for reinvestments into units of your trust. We cannot guarantee that units will always be available for reinvestment. If units are unavailable, you will receive cash distributions. We may discontinue these options at any time without notice. Distributions will be made from the Income and Capital Accounts on the distribution date provided the aggregate amount available for distribution equals at least 0.1% of the net asset value of your trust. Undistributed money in the Income and Capital Accounts will be distributed in the next month in which the aggregate amount available for distribution equals or exceeds 0.1% of the net asset value of your trust. In some cases, your trust might pay a special distribution if it holds an excessive amount of principal pending distribution. For example, this could happen as a result of a merger or similar transaction involving a company whose security is in your portfolio. The amount of your distributions will vary from time to time as companies change their dividends, trust expenses change or as a result of changes in a trust's portfolio. Reinvest in Your Trust. You can keep your money working by electing to reinvest your distributions in additional units of your trust. The easiest way to do this is to have your financial professional purchase units with one of the Reinvestment CUSIP numbers listed in the "Investment Summary" section of this prospectus. You may also make or change your election by contacting your financial professional or the trustee. This reinvestment option may be subject to availability or limitation by the broker-dealer or selling firm. In certain circumstances, broker-dealers may suspend or terminate the offering of a reinvestment option at any time. Reports. The trustee will send your financial professional a statement showing income and other receipts of your trust for each distribution. Each year the trustee will also provide an annual report on your trust's activity and certain tax information. You can request copies of security evaluations to enable you to complete your tax forms and audited financial statements for your trust, if available. See "Administration of the Trust" in Part B of the prospectus for additional information. Investment Risks All investments involve risk. This section describes the main risks that can impact the value of the securities in your trust. You should understand these risks before you invest. You could lose some or all of your investment in your trust. Recently, equity markets have experienced significant volatility. If the value of the securities falls, the value of your units will also fall. We cannot guarantee that your trust will achieve its objective or that your investment return will be positive over any period. Market risk. Market risk is the risk that a particular security in a trust, the trust itself or securities in general may fall in value. Market value may be affected by a variety of factors including: o General securities markets movements; o Changes in the financial condition of an issuer or a sector; o Changes in perceptions about an issuer or a sector; o Interest rates and inflation; o Governmental policies and litigation; and o Purchases and sales of securities by a trust. Even though we carefully supervise your trust portfolio, you should remember that we do not manage your portfolio. Your trust will not sell a security solely because the market value falls as is possible in a managed fund. Utilities sector risk. The Utilities Trust is concentrated in the utilities sector. As a result, the factors that impact the utilities sector will likely have a greater effect on this trust than on a more broadly diversified trust. Companies in the utilities sector must contend with the following: fluctuating consumer demand; energy conservation; the imposition of rate caps; the difficulty in obtaining fuel at reasonable prices; the difficulty of the capital market in absorbing utility debt; competition; price and supply fluctuations; international politics; interest rate fluctuations; taxes; and government regulation or deregulation. Increasing sensitivity to environmental concerns may pose challenges to utility companies over the coming decade. Health care sector risk. The Health Care Trust is concentrated in the health care sector. As a result, the factors that impact the health care sector will likely have a greater effect on this trust than on a more broadly diversified trust. General risks of companies in the health care sector include extensive competition, generic drug sales, the loss of patent protection, product liability litigation and increased government regulation. Research and development costs of bringing new drugs to market are substantial, and there is no guarantee that the product will ever come to market. Health care companies seeking government approval for medical products and services may have losses and may not offer proposed products for several years, if at all. The failure to gain approval for new medical products or services can have a significant negative impact on a health care company and its stock. Health care facility operators may be affected by the demand for services, efforts by government or insurers to limit rates, restriction of government financial assistance (such as Medicare, Medicaid or similar programs) and competition from other providers. The Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act of 2010 had significant implications on the health care sector. The goal of the legislation was to provide health insurance coverage for those who do not have it. The measure required most Americans to purchase health insurance coverage; added approximately 16 million people to the Medicaid rolls; and subsidized private coverage for low- and middle-income people. It also regulated private insurers more closely, banning practices such as denial of care for pre-existing conditions. The implementation of the Act's provisions will take place over the next several years through 2018 and could cause a decrease in the profitability of companies in the health care sector through increased costs and possible downward pressure on prices charged. The health care sector may also be impacted if Congress proposes additional legislative action to reform the health care sector. Such proposals may include a broad array of health care topics, including cost and price controls, incentives for competition for health care services, promotion of pre-paid health care plans and additional tax incentives and penalties. Such proposals may also target the reduction of funding for health care related research. The long-term effects of the Act on the health care sector remain uncertain and cannot be predicted. Biotechnology industry risk. The Health Care Trust is concentrated in the securities of biotechnology companies. As a result, the factors that impact the biotechnology industry will likely have a greater effect on this trust than on a more broadly diversified trust. Companies in the biotechnology industry spend heavily on research and development, and their products or services may not prove commercially successful or may become obsolete quickly. Biotechnology companies face intense competition and are heavily dependent on patents and intellectual property rights. A biotechnology company's valuation can be based largely on the potential or actual performance of a limited number of products and can accordingly be greatly affected if one of its products proves unsafe, ineffective or unprofitable. Biotechnology companies are subject to regulation by, and the restrictions of, the Food and Drug Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, state and local governments, and foreign regulatory authorities. Biotechnology companies may be adversely affected by the loss or impairment of intellectual property rights or changes in government regulations. Pharmaceuticals industry risk. The Health Care Trust is concentrated in the securities of pharmaceutical companies. As a result, the factors that impact the pharmaceuticals industry will likely have a greater effect on this trust than on a more broadly diversified trust. Companies in the pharmaceuticals industry are subject to competitive forces that may make it difficult to raise prices and, in fact, may result in price discounting. The profitability of some companies in the pharmaceuticals industry may be dependent on a relatively limited number of products. In addition, their products can become obsolete due to industry innovation, changes in technologies or other market developments. Many new products in the pharmaceuticals industry are subject to government approvals, regulation and reimbursement rates. The process of obtaining government approvals may be long and costly. Many companies in the pharmaceuticals industry are heavily dependent on patents and intellectual property rights. The loss or impairment of these rights may adversely affect the profitability of these companies. Companies in the pharmaceuticals industry may be subject to extensive litigation based on product liability and similar claims. Foreign securities risk. The Health Care Trust invests in U.S.-listed foreign securities. Securities of foreign issuers present risks beyond those of domestic securities. The prices of foreign securities can be more volatile than U.S. securities due to such factors as political, social and economic developments abroad, the differences between the regulations to which U.S. and foreign issuers and markets are subject, the seizure by the government of company assets, excessive taxation, withholding taxes on dividends and interest, limitations on the use or transfer of portfolio assets, and political or social instability. Other risks include the following: o Enforcing legal rights may be difficult, costly and slow in foreign countries, and there may be special problems enforcing claims against foreign governments. o Foreign issuers may not be subject to accounting standards or governmental supervision comparable to U.S. issuers, and there may be less public information about their operations. o Foreign markets may be less liquid and more volatile than U.S. markets. o Foreign securities often trade in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Changes in currency exchange rates may affect the trust's value, the value of dividends and interest earned, and gains and losses realized on the sale of securities. An increase in the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to these other currencies may cause the value of the trust to decline. Certain foreign currencies may be particularly volatile, and foreign governments may intervene in the currency markets, causing a decline in value or liquidity in the trust's foreign security holdings. o Future political and governmental restrictions which might adversely affect the payment or receipt of income on the foreign securities. Small-capitalization and mid-capitalization company risk. The trusts include securities issued by small-capitalization and mid-capitalization companies. These securities customarily involve more investment risk than large-capitalization companies. These additional risks are due in part to the following factors. Small-capitalization and mid-capitalization companies may: o Have limited product lines, markets or financial resources; o Be new and developing companies which seek to develop and utilize new and/or emerging technologies. These technologies may be slow to develop or fail to develop altogether; o Have less publicly available information; o Lack management depth or experience; o Be less liquid; o Be more vulnerable to adverse general market or economic developments; and o Be dependent upon products that were recently brought to market or key personnel. Litigation and legislation risk. Your trust is also subject to litigation and legislation risk. From time to time, various legislative initiatives are proposed in the United States and abroad which may have a negative impact on certain issuers represented in a trust. In addition, litigation regarding any of the issuers of the securities or of the sectors represented by these issuers, may raise potential bankruptcy concerns and may negatively impact the share prices of these securities. We cannot predict what impact any pending or threatened litigation or any bankruptcy concerns will have on the share prices of the securities. Inflation risk. Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. Significant unitholders risk. There may be unitholders of a trust who hold a significant portion of a trust and, as result, a redemption by such significant holder may have a material impact on the size, expenses and viability of a trust. See "Risk Factors" in Part B of the prospectus for additional information. How the Trust Works Your Trust. Your trust is a unit investment trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Securities Act of 1933. We created your trust under a trust agreement between Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC (as sponsor, evaluator and supervisor) and The Bank of New York Mellon (as trustee). To create your trust, we deposited contracts to purchase securities with the trustee along with an irrevocable letter of credit or other consideration to pay for the securities. In exchange, the trustee delivered units of your trust to us. Each unit represents an undivided interest in the assets of your trust. These units remain outstanding until redeemed or until your trust terminates. Changing Your Portfolio. Your trust is not a managed fund. Unlike a managed fund, we designed your portfolio to remain relatively fixed after its inception. Your trust will generally buy and sell securities: o to pay expenses, o to issue additional units or redeem units, o in limited circumstances to protect the trust, o to avoid direct or indirect ownership of a passive foreign investment company, o to make required distributions or avoid imposition of taxes on the trust, or o as permitted by a trust agreement. You will not be able to dispose of or vote any of the securities in your trust. As the holder of the securities, the trustee will vote the securities and will endeavor to vote the securities such that the securities are voted as closely as possible in the same manner and the same general proportion as are the securities held by owners other than your trust. However, the trustee may not be able to vote the securities in your trust that are traded on foreign exchanges. Your trust will generally reject any offer for securities or property other than cash in exchange for the securities in its portfolio. However, if a public tender offer has been made for a security or a merger or acquisition has been announced affecting a security, your trust may either sell the security or accept a tender offer for cash if the supervisor determines that the sale or tender is in the best interest of unitholders. The trustee will distribute any cash proceeds to unitholders. If your trust receives securities or property other than cash, it may either hold the securities or property in its portfolio or sell the securities or property and distribute the proceeds. For example, this could happen in a merger or similar transaction. We will increase the size of your trust as we sell units. When we create additional units, we will seek to replicate the existing portfolio. In certain cases, the trustee may need additional time to acquire the securities necessary to create units and consequently, the trust may not be fully invested at all times, which may impact the trust's performance. When your trust buys securities, it will pay brokerage or other acquisition fees. You could experience a dilution of your investment because of these fees and fluctuations in security prices between the time we create units and the time your trust buys the securities. When your trust buys or sells securities, we, acting in an agency capacity, may direct that the trust places orders with and pays brokerage commissions to brokers that sell units or are affiliated with your trust. We will not select firms to handle these transactions on the basis of their sale of units of your trust or any other products sponsored by us. We cannot guarantee that a trust will keep its present size and composition for any length of time. Termination of Your Trust. Your trust will terminate no later than the termination date listed in the "Investment Summary" section of this prospectus. The trustee may terminate your trust early if the value of the trust is less than $1 million or less than 40% of the value of the securities in the trust at the end of the initial offering period. At this size, the expenses of your trust may create an undue burden on your investment. Investors owning two-thirds of the units in your trust may also vote to terminate the trust early. We may also terminate your trust in other limited circumstances. The trustee will notify you of any termination and sell any remaining securities. The trustee will send your final distribution to you within a reasonable time following liquidation of all the securities after deducting final expenses. Your termination distribution may be less than the price you originally paid for your units. See "Administration of the Trust" in Part B of the prospectus for additional information. General Information Guggenheim Funds. Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC specializes in the creation, development and distribution of investment solutions for advisors and their valued clients. In November 2001, we changed our name from Ranson & Associates, Inc. to Claymore Securities, Inc. ("Claymore"). On September 27, 2010, Claymore officially changed its name to Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC. This change follows the acquisition of Claymore by Guggenheim Partners, LLC on October 14, 2009. Since the finalization of the acquisition, we have been operating as a subsidiary of Guggenheim Partners, LLC. During our history we have been active in public and corporate finance, have underwritten closed-end funds and have distributed bonds, mutual funds, closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds, structured products and unit trusts in the primary and secondary markets. We are a registered broker-dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). If we fail to or cannot perform our duties as sponsor or become bankrupt, the trustee may replace us, continue to operate your trust without a sponsor, or terminate your trust. You can contact us at our headquarters at 2455 Corporate West Drive, Lisle, Illinois 60532 or by using the contacts listed on the back cover of this prospectus. Guggenheim Funds personnel may from time to time maintain a position in certain securities held by your trust. Guggenheim Funds and your trust have adopted a code of ethics requiring Guggenheim Funds' employees who have access to information on trust transactions to report personal securities transactions. The purpose of the code is to avoid potential conflicts of interest and to prevent fraud, deception or misconduct with respect to your trust. See "Administration of the Trust" in Part B of the prospectus for additional information. The Trustee. The Bank of New York Mellon is the trustee of your trust. It is a trust company organized under New York law. You can contact the trustee by calling the telephone number on the back cover of this prospectus or write to Unit Investment Trust Division, 2 Hanson Place, 12th Fl., Brooklyn, New York 11217. We may remove and replace the trustee in some cases without your consent. The trustee may also resign by notifying the sponsor and investors. See "Administration of the Trust" in Part B of the prospectus for additional information. Expenses Your trust will pay various expenses to conduct its operations. The "Investment Summary" section of this prospectus shows the estimated amount of these expenses. Your trust will pay a fee to the trustee for its services. The trustee also benefits when it holds cash for your trust in non-interest bearing accounts. Your trust will reimburse the sponsor as supervisor and evaluator for providing portfolio supervisory services, evaluating your portfolio and performing bookkeeping and administrative services. Our reimbursements may exceed the costs of the services we provide to your trust but will not exceed the costs of services provided to all Guggenheim Funds unit investment trusts in any calendar year. In addition, the trustee may reimburse the sponsor out of its own assets for services performed by employees of the sponsor in connection with the operation of your trust. All of these fees may adjust for inflation without your approval. Your trust will pay a fee to the sponsor for creating and developing your trust, including determining the trust's objective, policies, composition and size, selecting service providers and information services, and for providing other similar administrative and ministerial functions. Your trust pays this "creation and development fee" of $0.05 per unit from the assets of the trust as of the close of the initial public offering period. The sponsor does not use the fee to pay distribution expenses or as compensation for sales efforts. Your trust will also pay its general operating expenses. Your trust may also pay expenses such as trustee expenses (including legal and auditing expenses), organization expenses, various governmental charges, fees for extraordinary trustee services, costs of taking action to protect your trust, costs of indemnifying the trustee and Guggenheim Funds, legal fees and expenses, expenses incurred in contacting you and costs incurred to reimburse the trustee for advancing funds to meet distributions. Your trust may pay the costs of updating its registration statement each year. The trustee may sell securities to pay trust expenses. See "Expenses of the Trust" in Part B of the prospectus for additional information. Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Unitholders Guggenheim Defined Portfolios, Series 1489 We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition, including the trust portfolios set forth on pages 7, 8, 14 and 15 of this prospectus, of Guggenheim Defined Portfolios, Series 1489, as of July 27, 2016, the initial date of deposit. These statements of financial condition are the responsibility of the trusts' sponsor. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these statements of financial condition based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statements of financial condition are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the trusts' internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of each trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the statements of financial condition, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the sponsor, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation with The Bank of New York Mellon, trustee, of cash or an irrevocable letter of credit deposited for the purchase of securities as shown in the statements of financial condition as of July 27, 2016. We believe that our audits of the statements of financial condition provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the statements of financial condition referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Guggenheim Defined Portfolios, Series 1489, as of July 27, 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ Grant Thornton LLP Chicago, Illinois July 27, 2016 Guggenheim Defined Portfolios, Series 1489 Statements of Financial Condition as of the Inception Date, July 27, 2016 Health Care Utilities Investment in securities Trust Trust Sponsor's contracts to purchase underlying securities backed by letter of credit (1)(2) $ 149,682 $ 149,487 ------------ ------------ $ 149,682 $ 149,487 ============ ============ Liabilities and interest of unitholders Liabilities: Organization costs (3) $ 1,210 $ 1,208 Creation and development fee (6) 756 755 Deferred sales fee (4) 3,704 3,700 ------------ ------------ 5,670 5,663 ------------ ------------ Interest of unitholders: Cost to unitholders (5) 151,190 151,000 Less: initial sales fee (4) 1,508 1,513 Less: organization costs, C&D and deferred sales fees (3)(4)(5)(6) 5,670 5,663 ------------ ------------ Net interest of unitholders 144,012 143,824 ------------ ------------ Total $ 149,682 $ 149,487 ============ ============ Number of units 15,119 15,100 ============ ============ Net Asset Value per Unit $ 9.525 $ 9.525 ============ ============
(1) Aggregate cost of the securities is based on the closing sale price evaluations as determined by the trustee. (2) A letter of credit has been deposited with The Bank of New York Mellon, trustee, covering the funds (aggregating $149,743 and $149,561 per trust) necessary for the purchase of the securities in the Health Care Trust and the Utilities Trust, respectively, represented by purchase contracts. (3) A portion of the Public Offering Price represents an amount sufficient to pay for all or a portion of the costs incurred in establishing the trusts. These costs have been estimated at $8.00 per 100 units of each trust. A distribution will be made as of the close of the initial offering period or six months after the initial date of deposit (at the discretion of the sponsor) to an account maintained by the trustee from which this obligation of the investors will be satisfied. Organization costs will not be assessed to units that are redeemed prior to the close of the initial offering period or six months after the initial date of deposit (at the discretion of the sponsor). To the extent that actual organization costs are greater than the estimated amount, only the estimated organization costs added to the Public Offering Price will be deducted from the assets of a trust. (4) The aggregate cost to unitholders includes a maximum sales fee, which consists of an initial sales fee, a deferred sales fee and a creation and development fee. The initial sales fee is equal to the difference between the maximum sales fee and the sum of the remaining deferred sales fee and the creation and development fee. On the Inception Date, the maximum sales fee is 3.95% of the Public Offering Price (equivalent to 3.98% of the net amount invested). The deferred sales fee is equal to $0.245 per unit. (5) The aggregate cost to investors includes the applicable transactional sales fee assuming no reduction of transactional sales fees for quantity purchases. (6) Each trust is committed to pay a creation and development fee of $5.00 per 100 units at the close of the initial public offering period. The creation and development fee will not be assessed to units that are redeemed prior to the close of the initial offering period. GUGGENHEIM DEFINED PORTFOLIOS GUGGENHEIM PORTFOLIO PROSPECTUS PART B DATED JULY 27, 2016 The prospectus for a Guggenheim Defined Portfolio (a "trust") is divided into two parts. Part A of the prospectus relates exclusively to a particular trust or trusts and provides specific information regarding each trust's portfolio, strategies, investment objectives, expenses, financial highlights, income and capital distributions, hypothetical performance information, risk factors and optional features. Part B of the prospectus provides more general information regarding the Guggenheim Defined Portfolios. You should read both parts of the prospectus and retain them for future reference. Except as provided in Part A of the prospectus, the information contained in this Part B will apply to each trust. Contents General Information 2 Investment Policies 2 Risk Factors 3 Administration of the Trust 16 Expenses of the Trust 22 Portfolio Transactions and Brokerage Allocation 24 Purchase, Redemption and Pricing of Units 24 Taxes 28 Experts 32 General Information Each trust is one of a series of separate unit investment trusts created under the name Guggenheim Defined Portfolios and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Securities Act of 1933. Each trust was created as a common law trust on the inception date described in the prospectus under the laws of the state of New York. Each trust was created under a trust agreement among Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC (as sponsor, evaluator and supervisor) and The Bank of New York Mellon (as trustee). When your trust was created, the sponsor delivered to the trustee securities or contracts for the purchase thereof for deposit in the trust and the trustee delivered to the sponsor documentation evidencing the ownership of units of the trust. After your trust is created, the sponsor may deposit additional securities in the trust, contracts to purchase additional securities along with cash (or a bank letter of credit in lieu of cash) to pay for such contracted securities or cash (including a letter of credit) with instructions to purchase additional securities. Such additional deposits will be in amounts which will seek to replicate, as closely as practicable, the portfolio immediately prior to such deposits. If the sponsor deposits cash, existing and new investors may experience a dilution of their investments and a reduction in their anticipated income because of fluctuations in the prices of the securities between the time of the cash deposit and the purchase of the securities and because the trust will pay the associated brokerage fees. A trust consists of (i) the securities listed under "Trust Portfolio" in the prospectus as may continue to be held from time to time in the trust; (ii) any additional securities acquired and held by the trust pursuant to the provisions of the trust agreement; and (iii) any cash held in the accounts of the trust. Neither the sponsor nor the trustee shall be liable in any way for any failure in any of the securities. However, should any contract for the purchase of any of the securities initially deposited in a trust fail, the sponsor will, unless substantially all of the moneys held in the trust to cover such purchase are reinvested in substitute securities in accordance with the trust agreement, refund the cash and sales charge attributable to such failed contract to all unitholders on the next distribution date. Investment Policies The trust is a unit investment trust and is not an "actively managed" fund. Traditional methods of investment management for a managed fund typically involve frequent changes in a portfolio of securities on the basis of economic, financial and market analysis. The portfolio of a trust, however, will not be actively managed and therefore the adverse financial condition of an issuer will not necessarily require the sale of its securities from a portfolio. Unitholders will not be able to dispose of or vote any of the securities in a trust. As the holder of the securities, the trustee will vote the securities and will endeavor to vote the securities such that the securities are voted as closely as possible in the same manner and the same general proportion as are the securities held by owners other than such trust. However, the trustee may not be able to vote the securities in a trust that are traded on foreign exchanges. The trust agreement provides that the sponsor may (but need not) direct the trustee to dispose of a security in certain events such as the issuer having defaulted on the payment on any of its outstanding obligations, the issuer having qualified as a passive foreign investment company under the Internal Revenue Code or the price of a security has declined to such an extent or other such credit factors exist so that in the opinion of the sponsor the retention of such securities would be detrimental to the trust. If a public tender offer has been made for a security or a merger or acquisition has been announced affecting a security, the trustee may either sell the security or accept a tender offer for cash if the supervisor determines that the sale or tender is in the best interest of unitholders. The trustee will distribute any cash proceeds to unitholders. Pursuant to the trust agreement and with limited exceptions, the trustee may sell any securities or other properties acquired in exchange for securities such as those acquired in connection with a merger or other transaction. If offered such new or exchanged securities or property other than cash, the trustee shall reject the offer. However, in the event such securities or property are nonetheless acquired by the trust, they may be accepted for deposit in a trust and either sold by the trustee or held in a trust pursuant to the direction of the sponsor. Proceeds from the sale of securities (or any securities or other property received by the trust in exchange for securities) are credited to the Capital Account for distribution to unitholders or to meet redemptions. Except as stated in the trust agreement, or in the prospectus, the acquisition by the trust of any securities other than the portfolio securities is prohibited. The trustee may sell securities, designated by the sponsor, from the trust for the purpose of redeeming units of a trust tendered for redemption and the payment of expenses and for such other purposes as permitted under the trust agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the trustee is authorized to reinvest any funds held in the Capital or Income Accounts, pending distribution, in U.S. Treasury obligations which mature on or before the next applicable distribution date. Any obligations so acquired must be held until they mature and proceeds therefrom may not be reinvested. Proceeds from the sale of securities (or any securities or other property received by a trust in exchange for securities) are credited to the Capital Account of a trust for distribution to unitholders or to meet redemptions. Except for failed securities and as provided in the prospectus or in the trust agreement, the acquisition by a trust of any securities other than the portfolio securities is prohibited. The trustee may sell securities from a trust for limited purposes, including redeeming units tendered for redemption and the payment of expenses. Risk Factors Stocks. An investment in units of a trust should be made with an understanding of the risks inherent in an investment in equity securities, including the risk that the financial condition of issuers of the securities may become impaired or that the general condition of the stock market may worsen (both of which may contribute directly to a decrease in the value of the securities and thus, in the value of the units) or the risk that holders of common stock have a right to receive payments from the issuers of those stocks that is generally inferior to that of creditors of, or holders of debt obligations issued by, the issuers and that the rights of holders of common stock generally rank inferior to the rights of holders of preferred stock. You could lose some or all of your investment in the trust. Common stocks are especially susceptible to general stock market movements and to volatile increases and decreases in value as market confidence in and perceptions of the issuers change. These perceptions are based on unpredictable factors including expectations regarding government, economic, monetary and fiscal policies, inflation and interest rates, economic expansion or contraction, and global or regional political, economic or banking crises. Holders of common stock incur more risk than the holders of preferred stocks and debt obligations because common stockholders, as owners of the entity, have generally inferior rights to receive payments from the issuer in comparison with the rights of creditors of, or holders of debt obligations or preferred stock issued by the issuer. Holders of common stock of the type held by a trust have a right to receive dividends only when and if, and in the amounts, declared by the issuer's board of directors and to participate in amounts available for distribution by the issuer only after all other claims on the issuer have been paid or provided for. By contrast, holders of preferred stock have the right to receive dividends at a fixed rate when and as declared by the issuer's board of directors, normally on a cumulative basis, but do not participate in other amounts available for distribution by the issuing corporation. Cumulative preferred stock dividends must be paid before common stock dividends and any cumulative preferred stock dividend omitted is added to future dividends payable to the holders of cumulative preferred stock. Preferred stocks are also entitled to rights on liquidation which are senior to those of common stocks. Moreover, common stocks do not represent an obligation of the issuer and therefore do not offer any assurance of income or provide the degree of protection of capital debt securities. Indeed, the issuance of debt securities or even preferred stock will create prior claims for payment of principal, interest, liquidation preferences and dividends which could adversely affect the ability and inclination of the issuer to declare or pay dividends on its common stock or the rights of holders of common stock with respect to assets of the issuer upon liquidation or bankruptcy. Further, unlike debt securities which typically have a stated principal amount payable at maturity (whose value, however, will be subject to market fluctuations prior thereto), common stocks have neither a fixed principal amount nor a maturity and have values which are subject to market fluctuations for as long as the stocks remain outstanding. The value of the securities in a portfolio thus may be expected to fluctuate over the entire life of a trust to values higher or lower than those prevailing at the time of purchase. The sponsor's buying and selling of the securities, especially during the initial offering of units of the trust or to satisfy redemptions of units may impact upon the value of the underlying securities and the units. The publication of the list of the securities selected for the trust may also cause increased buying activity in certain of the stocks comprising the portfolio. After such announcement, investment advisory and brokerage clients of the sponsor and its affiliates may purchase individual securities appearing on the list during the course of the initial offering period or may purchase warrants issued by the sponsor or its affiliates which are based on the performance of the securities on the list. The sponsor or its affiliates may also purchase securities as a hedge against its risk on the warrants (although generally the sponsor and its affiliates will not purchase securities for their own account until after the trust portfolio has been acquired). Such buying activity in the stock of these companies or issuance of the warrants prior to the purchase of the securities by the trust may cause the trust to purchase stocks at a higher price than those buyers who effect purchases by the trust. Fixed Portfolio. Investors should be aware that the trust is not "managed" and as a result, the adverse financial condition of a company will not result in the elimination of its securities from the portfolio of the trust except under extraordinary circumstances. Investors should note in particular that the securities were selected on the basis of the criteria set forth in the prospectus and that the trust may continue to purchase or hold securities originally selected through this process even though the evaluation of the attractiveness of the securities may have changed. A number of the securities in the trust may also be owned by other clients of the sponsor. However, because these clients may have differing investment objectives, the sponsor may sell certain securities from those accounts in instances where a sale by the trust would be impermissible, such as to maximize return by taking advantage of market fluctuations. In the event a public tender offer is made for a security or a merger or acquisition is announced affecting a security, the sponsor may instruct the trustee to tender or sell the security on the open market when, in its opinion, it is in the best interest of the unitholders of the unit to do so. Although the portfolio is regularly reviewed and evaluated and the sponsor may instruct the trustee to sell securities under certain limited circumstances, securities will not be sold by the trust to take advantage of market fluctuations or changes in anticipated rates of appreciation. As a result, the amount realized upon the sale of the securities may not be the highest price attained by an individual security during the life of the trust. The prices of single shares of each of the securities in the trust vary widely, and the effect of a dollar of fluctuation, either higher or lower, in stock prices will be much greater as a percentage of the lower-price stocks' purchase price than as a percentage of the higher-price stocks' purchase price. Closed-End Fund Risks. If set forth in Part A of the prospectus, a trust may invest in the common stock of closed-end funds ("Closed-End Funds"). Closed-End Funds are actively managed investment companies which invest in various types of securities. Closed-End Funds issue shares of common stock that are traded on a securities exchange. Closed-End Funds are subject to various risks, including management's ability to meet the Closed-End Fund's investment objective, and to manage the Closed-End Fund portfolio when the underlying securities are redeemed or sold, during periods of market turmoil and as investors' perceptions regarding Closed-End Funds or their underlying investments change. Shares of Closed-End Funds frequently trade at a discount from their net asset value in the secondary market. This risk is separate and distinct from the risk that the net asset value of Closed-End Fund shares may decrease. The amount of such discount from net asset value is subject to change from time to time in response to various factors. Certain of the Closed-End Funds included in a trust may employ the use of leverage in their portfolios through the issuance of preferred stock. While leverage often serves to increase the yield of a Closed-End Fund, this leverage also subjects the Closed-End Fund to increased risks, including the likelihood of increased volatility and the possibility that the Closed-End Fund's common share income will fall if the dividend rate on the preferred shares or the interest rate on any borrowing rises. Exchange-Traded Fund Risks. If set forth in Part A of the prospectus, a trust may invest in the common stock of exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"). ETFs are investment pools that hold other securities. ETFs are either open-end management investment companies or unit investment trusts registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Unlike typical open-end funds or unit investment trusts, ETFs generally do not sell or redeem their individual shares at net asset value. In addition, securities exchanges list ETF shares for trading, which allows investors to purchase and sell individual ETF shares at current market prices throughout the day. ETFs therefore possess characteristics of traditional open-end funds and unit investment trusts, which issue redeemable shares, and of corporate common stocks or closed-end funds, which generally issue shares that trade at negotiated prices on securities exchanges and are not redeemable. ETFs are subject to various risks, including management's ability to meet the fund's investment objective. The underlying ETF has management and operating expenses. You will bear not only your share of the trust's expenses, but also the expenses of the underlying ETF. By investing in an ETF, the trust incurs greater expenses than you would incur if you invested directly in the ETF. Shares of ETFs may trade at a discount from their net asset value in the secondary market. This risk is separate and distinct from the risk that the net asset value of the ETF shares may decrease. The amount of such discount from net asset value is subject to change from time to time in response to various factors. Market Discounts or Premiums. Certain of the securities may have been deposited at a market discount or premium principally because their dividend rates are lower or higher than prevailing rates on comparable securities. The current returns of market discount securities are lower than comparably rated securities selling at par because discount securities tend to increase in market value as they approach maturity. The current returns of market premium securities are higher than comparably rated securities selling at par because premium securities tend to decrease in market value as they approach maturity. Because part of the purchase price is returned through current income payments and not at maturity, an early redemption at par of a premium security will result in a reduction in yield to the trust. Market premium or discount attributable to dividend rate changes does not indicate market confidence or lack of confidence in the issue. Liquidity. Whether or not the securities are listed on a national securities exchange, the principal trading market for the securities may be in the over-the-counter market. As a result, the existence of a liquid trading market for the securities may depend on whether dealers will make a market in the securities. There can be no assurance that a market will be made for any of the securities, that any market for the securities will be maintained or of the liquidity of the securities in any markets made. In addition, a trust is restricted under the Investment Company Act of 1940 from selling securities to the sponsor. The price at which the securities may be sold to meet redemptions and the value of a trust will be adversely affected if trading markets for the securities are limited or absent. Additional Deposits. The trust agreement authorizes the sponsor to increase the size of a trust and the number of units thereof by the deposit of additional securities, or cash (including a letter of credit) with instructions to purchase additional securities, in such trust and the issuance of a corresponding number of additional units. If the sponsor deposits cash, existing and new investors may experience a dilution of their investments and a reduction in their anticipated income because of fluctuations in the prices of the securities between the time of the cash deposit and the purchase of the securities and because a trust will pay the associated brokerage fees. To minimize this effect, the trusts will attempt to purchase the securities as close to the evaluation time or as close to the evaluation prices as possible. Some of the securities may have limited trading volume. The trustee, with directions from the sponsor, will endeavor to purchase securities with deposited cash as soon as practicable reserving the right to purchase those securities over the 20 business days following each deposit in an effort to reduce the effect of these purchases on the market price of those stocks. This could, however, result in the trusts' failure to participate in any appreciation of those stocks before the cash is invested. If any cash remains at the end of this period (and such date is within the 90-day period following the inception date) and cannot be invested in one or more stocks, at what the sponsor considers reasonable prices, it intends to use that cash to purchase each of the other securities in the original proportionate relationship among those securities. Similarly, at termination of the trust, the sponsor reserves the right to sell securities over a period of up to nine business days to lessen the impact of its sales on the market price of the securities. The proceeds received by unitholders following termination of the trust will reflect the actual sales proceeds received on the securities, which will likely differ from the closing sale price on the termination date. Litigation and Legislation. At any time litigation may be initiated on a variety of grounds, or legislation may be enacted with respect to the securities in a trust or the issuers of the securities. There can be no assurance that future litigation or legislation will not have a material adverse effect on the trust or will not impair the ability of issuers to achieve their business goals. Financial Sector Risks. If set forth in Part A of the prospectus, certain of the issuers of securities in a trust may be involved in the financial sector. An investment in units of a trust containing securities of such issuers should be made with an understanding of the problems and risks inherent in the financial sector in general. Banks, thrifts and their holding companies are especially subject to the adverse effects of economic recession; volatile interest rates; portfolio concentrations in geographic markets, in commercial and residential real estate loans or any particular segment or industry; and competition from new entrants in their fields of business. Banks and thrifts are highly dependent on net interest margin. Banks and thrifts traditionally receive a significant portion of their revenues from consumer mortgage fee income as a result of activity in mortgage and refinance markets. Banks, thrifts and their holding companies are subject to extensive federal regulation and, when such institutions are state-chartered, to state regulation as well. Such regulations impose strict capital requirements and limitations on the nature and extent of business activities that banks and thrifts may pursue. Furthermore, bank regulators have a wide range of discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement authority and may substantially restrict the permissible activities of a particular institution if deemed to pose significant risks to the soundness of such institution or the safety of the federal deposit insurance fund. Regulatory actions, such as increases in the minimum capital requirements applicable to banks and thrifts and increases in deposit insurance premiums required to be paid by banks and thrifts to the FDIC, can negatively impact earnings and the ability of a company to pay dividends. Neither federal insurance of deposits nor governmental regulations, however, insures the solvency or profitability of banks or their holding companies, or insures against any risk of investment in the securities issued by such institutions. The statutory requirements applicable to and regulatory supervision of banks, thrifts and their holding companies have increased significantly and have undergone substantial change in the recent past. The Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") require the expanded use of market value accounting by banks and have imposed rules requiring mark-to-market accounting for investment securities held in trading accounts or available for sale. Adoption of additional such rules may result in increased volatility in the reported health of the industry, and mandated regulatory intervention to correct such problems. Accounting Standards Codification 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" changed the requirements of mark-to-market accounting and determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability has significantly decreased. These changes and other potential changes in financial accounting rules and valuation techniques may have a significant impact on the banking and financial services industries in terms of accurately pricing assets or liabilities. Additional legislative and regulatory changes may be forthcoming. For example, the bank regulatory authorities have proposed substantial changes to the Community Reinvestment Act and fair lending laws, rules and regulations, and there can be no certainty as to the effect, if any, that such changes would have on the securities in a trust's portfolio. In addition, from time to time the deposit insurance system is reviewed by Congress and federal regulators, and proposed reforms of that system could, among other things, further restrict the ways in which deposited moneys can be used by banks or change the dollar amount or number of deposits insured for any depositor. On October 3, 2008, EESA increased the maximum amount of federal deposit insurance coverage payable as to any certificate of deposit from $100,000 to $250,000 per depositor. The impact of this reform is unknown and could reduce profitability as investment opportunities available to bank institutions become more limited and as consumers look for savings vehicles other than bank deposits. The sponsor makes no prediction as to what, if any, manner of bank and thrift regulatory actions might ultimately be adopted or what ultimate effect such actions might have on a trust's portfolio. The Federal Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 ("BHC Act") generally prohibits a bank holding company from (i) acquiring, directly or indirectly, more than 5% of the outstanding shares of any class of voting securities of a bank or bank holding company; (ii) acquiring control of a bank or another bank holding company; (iii) acquiring all or substantially all the assets of a bank; or (iv) merging or consolidating with another bank holding company, without first obtaining FRB approval. In considering an application with respect to any such transaction, the FRB is required to consider a variety of factors, including the potential anti-competitive effects of the transaction, the financial condition and future prospects of the combining and resulting institutions, the managerial resources of the resulting institution, the convenience and needs of the communities the combined organization would serve, the record of performance of each combining organization under the Community Reinvestment Act and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, and the prospective availability to the FRB of information appropriate to determine ongoing regulatory compliance with applicable banking laws. In addition, the federal Change In Bank Control Act and various state laws impose limitations on the ability of one or more individuals or other entities to acquire control of banks or bank holding companies. The FRB has issued a policy statement on the payment of cash dividends by bank holding companies in which the FRB expressed its view that a bank holding company experiencing earnings weaknesses should not pay cash dividends which exceed its net income or which could only be funded in ways that would weaken its financial health, such as by borrowing. The FRB also may impose limitations on the payment of dividends as a condition to its approval of certain applications, including applications for approval of mergers and acquisitions. The sponsor makes no prediction as to the effect, if any, such laws will have on the securities in a trust or whether such approvals, if necessary, will be obtained. Companies engaged in investment banking/brokerage and investment management include brokerage firms, broker/dealers, investment banks, finance companies and mutual fund companies. Earnings and share prices of companies in this industry are quite volatile, and often exceed the volatility levels of the market as a whole. Negative economic events in the credit markets have led some firms to declare bankruptcy, forced short-notice sales to competing firms, or required government intervention by the FDIC or through an infusions of Troubled Asset Relief Program funds. Consolidation in the industry and the volatility in the stock market have negatively impacted investors. Additionally, government intervention has required many financial institutions to become bank holding companies under the BHC Act. Under the system of functional regulation established under the BHC Act, the FRB supervises bank holding companies as an umbrella regulator. The BHC Act and regulations generally restrict bank holding companies from engaging in business activities other than the business of banking and certain closely related activities. The FRB and FDIC have also issued substantial risk-based and leverage capital guidelines applicable to U.S. banking organizations. The guidelines define a three-tier framework, requiring depository institutions to maintain certain leverage ratios depending on the type of assets held. If any depository institution controlled by a financial or bank holding company ceases to meet capital or management standards, the FRB may impose corrective capital and/or managerial requirements on the company and place limitations on its ability to conduct broader financial activities. Furthermore, proposed legislation will allow the Treasury and the FDIC to create a resolution regime to "take over" bank and financial holding companies. The "taking over" would be based on whether the firm is in default or in danger of defaulting and whether such a default would have a serious adverse effect on the financial system or the economy. This mechanism would only be used by the government in exceptional circumstances to mitigate these effects. This type of intervention has unknown risks and costs associated with it, which may cause unforeseeable harm in the industry. Companies involved in the insurance industry are engaged in underwriting, reinsuring, selling, distributing or placing of property and casualty, life or health insurance. Other growth areas within the insurance industry include brokerage, reciprocals, claims processors and multi-line insurance companies. Interest rate levels, general economic conditions and price and marketing competition affect insurance company profits. Property and casualty insurance profits may also be affected by weather catastrophes and other disasters. Life and health insurance profits may be affected by mortality and morbidity rates. Individual companies may be exposed to material risks including reserve inadequacy and the inability to collect from reinsurance carriers. Insurance companies are subject to extensive governmental regulation, including the imposition of maximum rate levels, which may not be adequate for some lines of business. Proposed or potential tax law changes may also adversely affect insurance companies' policy sales, tax obligations, and profitability. In addition to the foregoing, profit margins of these companies continue to shrink due to the commoditization of traditional businesses, new competitors, capital expenditures on new technology and the pressures to compete globally. In addition to the normal risks of business, companies involved in the insurance industry are subject to significant risk factors, including those applicable to regulated insurance companies, such as: (i) the inherent uncertainty in the process of establishing property-liability loss reserves, particularly reserves for the cost of environmental, asbestos and mass tort claims, and the fact that ultimate losses could materially exceed established loss reserves which could have a material adverse effect on results of operations and financial condition; (ii) the fact that insurance companies have experienced, and can be expected in the future to experience, catastrophe losses which could have a material adverse impact on their financial condition, results of operations and cash flow; (iii) the inherent uncertainty in the process of establishing property-liability loss reserves due to changes in loss payment patterns caused by new claims settlement practices; (iv) the need for insurance companies and their subsidiaries to maintain appropriate levels of statutory capital and surplus, particularly in light of continuing scrutiny by rating organizations and state insurance regulatory authorities, and in order to maintain acceptable financial strength or claims-paying ability rating; (v) the extensive regulation and supervision to which insurance companies' subsidiaries are subject, various regulatory initiatives that may affect insurance companies, and regulatory and other legal actions; (vi) the adverse impact that increases in interest rates could have on the value of an insurance company's investment portfolio and on the attractiveness of certain of its products; (vii) the need to adjust the effective duration of the assets and liabilities of life insurance operations in order to meet the anticipated cash flow requirements of its policyholder obligations; and (viii) the uncertainty involved in estimating the availability of reinsurance and the collectability of reinsurance recoverables. This enhanced oversight into the insurance industry may pose unknown risks to the sector as a whole. The state insurance regulatory framework has, during recent years, come under increased federal scrutiny, and certain state legislatures have considered or enacted laws that alter and, in many cases, increase state authority to regulate insurance companies and insurance holding company systems. Further, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") and state insurance regulators are re-examining existing laws and regulations, specifically focusing on insurance companies, interpretations of existing laws and the development of new laws. In addition, Congress and certain federal agencies have investigated the condition of the insurance industry in the United States to determine whether to promulgate additional federal regulation. The sponsor is unable to predict whether any state or federal legislation will be enacted to change the nature or scope of regulation of the insurance industry, or what effect, if any, such legislation would have on the industry. All insurance companies are subject to state laws and regulations that require diversification of their investment portfolios and limit the amount of investments in certain investment categories. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations would cause non-conforming investments to be treated as non-admitted assets for purposes of measuring statutory surplus and, in some instances, would require divestiture. Environmental pollution clean-up is the subject of both federal and state regulation. By some estimates, there are thousands of potential waste sites subject to clean up. The insurance industry is involved in extensive litigation regarding coverage issues. The Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 ("Superfund") and comparable state statutes ("mini-Superfund") govern the cleanup and restoration by "Potentially Responsible Parties" ("PRPs"). Superfund and the mini-Superfunds ("Environmental Clean-up Laws" or "ECLs") establish a mechanism to pay for clean-up of waste sites if PRPs fail to do so, and to assign liability to PRPs. The extent of liability to be allocated to a PRP is dependent on a variety of factors. The extent of clean-up necessary and the assignment of liability has not been fully established. The insurance industry is disputing many such claims. Key coverage issues include whether Superfund response costs are considered damages under the policies, when and how coverage is triggered, applicability of pollution exclusions, the potential for joint and several liability and definition of an occurrence. Similar coverage issues exist for clean up and waste sites not covered under Superfund. To date, courts have been inconsistent in their rulings on these issues. An insurer's exposure to liability with regard to its insureds which have been, or may be, named as PRPs is uncertain. Superfund reform proposals have been introduced in Congress, but none have been enacted. There can be no assurance that any Superfund reform legislation will be enacted or that any such legislation will provide for a fair, effective and cost-efficient system for settlement of Superfund related claims. While current federal income tax law permits the tax-deferred accumulation of earnings on the premiums paid by an annuity owner and holders of certain savings-oriented life insurance products, no assurance can be given that future tax law will continue to allow such tax deferrals. If such deferrals were not allowed, consumer demand for the affected products would be substantially reduced. In addition, proposals to lower the federal income tax rates through a form of flat tax or otherwise could have, if enacted, a negative impact on the demand for such products. Major determinants of future earnings of companies in the financial services sector are the direction of the stock market, investor confidence, equity transaction volume, the level and direction of long-term and short-term interest rates, and the outlook for emerging markets. Negative trends in any of these earnings determinants could have a serious adverse effect on the financial stability, as well as the stock prices, of these companies. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the issuers of the securities included in the trust will be able to respond in a timely manner to compete in the rapidly developing marketplace. In addition to the foregoing, profit margins of these companies continue to shrink due to the commoditization of traditional businesses, new competitors, capital expenditures on new technology and the pressures to compete globally. Foreign Securities Risk. If set forth in Part A of the prospectus, a trust, or issuers of securities held by a trust, may invest in foreign issuers, and therefore, an investment in such a trust involves some investment risks that are different in some respects from an investment in a trust that invests entirely in securities of domestic issuers. Those investment risks include future political and governmental restrictions which might adversely affect the payment or receipt of payment of dividends on the relevant securities, currency exchange rate fluctuations, exchange control policies, and the limited liquidity and small market capitalization of such foreign countries' securities markets. In addition, for foreign issuers that are not subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, there may be less publicly available information than is available from a domestic issuer. Also, foreign issuers are not necessarily subject to uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards, practices and requirements comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. However, due to the nature of the issuers of the securities included in the trust, the sponsor believes that adequate information will be available to allow the sponsor to provide portfolio surveillance. Certain of the securities in the trust may be in ADR or GDR form. ADRs, American Depositary Receipts and GDRs, Global Depositary Receipts, represent common stock deposited with a custodian in a depositary. American Depositary Receipts and Global Depositary Receipts (collectively, the "Depositary Receipts") are issued by a bank or trust company to evidence ownership of underlying securities issued by a foreign corporation. These instruments may not necessarily be denominated in the same currency as the securities into which they may be converted. For purposes of the discussion herein, the terms ADR and GDR generally include American Depositary Shares and Global Depositary Shares, respectively. Depositary Receipts may be sponsored or unsponsored. In an unsponsored facility, the depositary initiates and arranges the facility at the request of market makers and acts as agent for the Depositary Receipts holder, while the company itself is not involved in the transaction. In a sponsored facility, the issuing company initiates the facility and agrees to pay certain administrative and shareholder-related expenses. Sponsored facilities use a single depositary and entail a contractual relationship between the issuer, the shareholder and the depositary; unsponsored facilities involve several depositaries with no contractual relationship to the company. The depositary bank that issues Depositary Receipts generally charges a fee, based on the price of the Depositary Receipts, upon issuance and cancellation of the Depositary Receipts. This fee would be in addition to the brokerage commissions paid upon the acquisition or surrender of the security. In addition, the depositary bank incurs expenses in connection with the conversion of dividends or other cash distributions paid in local currency into U.S. dollars and such expenses are deducted from the amount of the dividend or distribution paid to holders, resulting in a lower payout per underlying shares represented by the Depositary Receipts than would be the case if the underlying share were held directly. Certain tax considerations, including tax rate differentials and withholding requirements, arising from the application of the tax laws of one nation to nationals of another and from certain practices in the Depositary Receipts market may also exist with respect to certain Depositary Receipts. In varying degrees, any or all of these factors may affect the value of the Depositary Receipts compared with the value of the underlying shares in the local market. In addition, the rights of holders of Depositary Receipts may be different than those of holders of the underlying shares, and the market for Depositary Receipts may be less liquid than that for the underlying shares. Depositary Receipts are registered securities pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 and may be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. For the securities that are Depositary Receipts, currency fluctuations will affect the United States dollar equivalent of the local currency price of the underlying domestic share and, as a result, are likely to affect the value of the Depositary Receipts and consequently the value of the securities. The foreign issuers of securities that are Depositary Receipts may pay dividends in foreign currencies which must be converted into United States dollars. Most foreign currencies have fluctuated widely in value against the United States dollar for many reasons, including supply and demand of the respective currency, the soundness of the world economy and the strength of the respective economy as compared to the economies of the United States and other countries. Therefore, for any securities of issuers (whether or not they are in Depositary Receipt form) whose earnings are stated in foreign currencies, or which pay dividends in foreign currencies or which are traded in foreign currencies, there is a risk that their United States dollar value will vary with fluctuations in the United States dollar foreign exchange rates for the relevant currencies. Preferred Stock Risks. If set forth in Part A of the prospectus, a trust, or issuers of securities held by a trust, may invest in preferred stock. If this is the case, an investment in units should be made with an understanding of the risks which an investment in preferred stocks entails, including the risk that the financial condition of the issuers of the securities or the general condition of the preferred stock market may worsen, and the value of the preferred stocks and therefore the value of the units may decline. Preferred stocks may be susceptible to general stock market movements and to volatile increases and decreases of value as market confidence in and perceptions of the issuers change. These perceptions are based on unpredictable factors, including expectations regarding government, economic, monetary and fiscal policies, inflation and interest rates, economic expansion or contraction, market liquidity, and global or regional political, economic or banking crises. Preferred stocks are also vulnerable to congressional reductions in the dividends-received deduction which would adversely affect the after-tax return to the investors who can take advantage of the deduction. Such a reduction might adversely affect the value of preferred stocks in general. Holders of preferred stocks, as owners of the entity, have rights to receive payments from the issuers of those preferred stocks that are generally subordinate to those of creditors of, or holders of debt obligations or, in some cases, other senior preferred stocks of, such issuers. Preferred stocks do not represent an obligation of the issuer and, therefore, do not offer any assurance of income or provide the same degree of protection of capital as do debt securities. The issuance of additional debt securities or senior preferred stocks will create prior claims for payment of principal and interest and senior dividends which could adversely affect the ability and inclination of the issuer to declare or pay dividends on its preferred stock or the rights of holders of preferred stock with respect to assets of the issuer upon liquidation or bankruptcy. The value of preferred stocks is subject to market fluctuations for as long as the preferred stocks remain outstanding, and thus the value of the securities may be expected to fluctuate over the life of the trust to values higher or lower than those prevailing on the initial date of deposit. Trust Preferred Securities Risks. If set forth in Part A of the prospectus, a trust, or issuers of securities held by a trust, may invest in trust preferred securities. Holders of trust preferred securities incur risks in addition to or slightly different than the typical risks of holding preferred stocks. Trust preferred securities are limited-life preferred securities that are typically issued by corporations, generally in the form of interest-bearing notes or preferred securities issued by corporations, or by an affiliated business trust of a corporation, generally in the form of beneficial interests in subordinated debentures issued by the corporation, or similarly structured securities. The maturity and dividend rate of the trust preferred securities are structured to match the maturity and coupon interest rate of the interest-bearing notes, preferred securities or subordinated debentures. Trust preferred securities usually mature on the stated maturity date of the interest-bearing notes, preferred securities or subordinated debentures and may be redeemed or liquidated prior to the stated maturity date of such instruments for any reason on or after their stated call date or upon the occurrence of certain circumstances at any time. Trust preferred securities generally have a yield advantage over traditional preferred stocks, but unlike preferred stocks, distributions on the trust preferred securities are generally treated as interest rather than dividends for federal income tax purposes. Unlike most preferred stocks, distributions received from trust preferred securities are generally not eligible for the dividends-received deduction. Certain of the risks unique to trust preferred securities include: (i) distributions on trust preferred securities will be made only if interest payments on the interest-bearing notes, preferred securities or subordinated debentures are made; (ii) a corporation issuing the interest-bearing notes, preferred securities or subordinated debentures may defer interest payments on these instruments for up to 20 consecutive quarters and if such election is made, distributions will not be made on the trust preferred securities during the deferral period; (iii) certain tax or regulatory events may trigger the redemption of the interest-bearing notes, preferred securities or subordinated debentures by the issuing corporation and result in prepayment of the trust preferred securities prior to their stated maturity date; (iv) future legislation may be proposed or enacted that may prohibit the corporation from deducting its interest payments on the interest-bearing notes, preferred securities or subordinated debentures for tax purposes, making redemption of these instruments likely; (v) a corporation may redeem the interest-bearing notes, preferred securities or subordinated debentures in whole at any time or in part from time to time on or after a stated call date; (vi) trust preferred securities holders have very limited voting rights; and (vii) payment of interest on the interest-bearing notes, preferred securities or subordinated debentures, and therefore distributions on the trust preferred securities, is dependent on the financial condition of the issuing corporation. Convertible Securities Risks. If set forth in Part A of the prospectus, a trust, or issuers of securities held by a trust, may invest in convertible securities. Convertible securities generally offer lower interest or dividend yields than non-convertible fixed-income securities of similar credit quality because of the potential for capital appreciation. The market values of convertible securities tend to decline as interest rates increase and, conversely, to increase as interest rates decline. However, a convertible security's market value also tends to reflect the market price of the common stock of the issuing company, particularly when the stock price is greater than the convertible security's conversion price. The conversion price is defined as the predetermined price or exchange ratio at which the convertible security can be converted or exchanged for the underlying common stock. As the market price of the underlying common stock declines below the conversion price, the price of the convertible security tends to be increasingly influenced more by the yield of the convertible security than by the market price of the underlying common stock. Thus, it may not decline in price to the same extent as the underlying common stock, and convertible securities generally have less potential for gain or loss than common stocks. However, mandatory convertible securities (as discussed below) generally do not limit the potential for loss to the same extent as securities convertible at the option of the holder. In the event of a liquidation of the issuing company, holders of convertible securities would be paid before that company's common stockholders. Consequently, an issuer's convertible securities generally entail less risk than its common stock. However, convertible securities fall below debt obligations of the same issuer in order of preference or priority in the event of a liquidation and are typically unrated or rated lower than such debt obligations. In addition, contingent payment, convertible securities allow the issuer to claim deductions based on its nonconvertible cost of debt, which generally will result in deduction in excess of the actual cash payments made on the securities (and accordingly, holders will recognize income in amounts in excess of the cash payments received). Mandatory convertible securities are distinguished as a subset of convertible securities because the conversion is not optional and the conversion price at maturity is based solely upon the market price of the underlying common stock, which may be significantly less than par or the price (above or below par) paid. For these reasons, the risks associated with investing in mandatory convertible securities most closely resemble the risks inherent in common stocks. Mandatory convertible securities customarily pay a higher coupon yield to compensate for the potential risk of additional price volatility and loss upon conversion. Because the market price of a mandatory convertible security increasingly corresponds to the market price of its underlying common stock as the convertible security approaches its conversion date, there can be no assurance that the higher coupon will compensate for the potential loss. Senior Loan Risks. If set forth in Part A of the prospectus, a trust, or issuers of securities held by a trust, may invest in senior loans. Senior loans in which a Closed-End Fund or an ETF may invest: o generally are of below investment-grade or "junk" credit quality; o may be unrated at the time of investment; o generally are not registered with the SEC or any state securities commission; and o generally are not listed on any securities exchange. The amount of public information available on senior loans generally will be less extensive than that available for other types of assets. No reliable, active trading market currently exists for many senior loans, although a secondary market for certain senior loans has developed over the past several years. Senior loans are thus relatively illiquid. Liquidity relates to the ability of a Closed-End Fund or an ETF to sell an investment in a timely manner at a price approximately equal to its value on the Closed-End Fund's or the ETF's books. The illiquidity of senior loans may impair a Closed-End Fund's or an ETF's ability to realize the full value of its assets in the event of a voluntary or involuntary liquidation of such assets. Because of the lack of an active trading market, illiquid securities are also difficult to value and prices provided by external pricing services may not reflect the true value of the securities. However, many senior loans are of a large principal amount and are held by a large number of financial institutions. To the extent that a secondary market does exist for certain senior loans, the market may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods. The market for senior loans could be disrupted in the event of an economic downturn or a substantial increase or decrease in interest rates. This could result in increased volatility in the market and in the trusts' net asset value. If legislation or state or federal regulators impose additional requirements or restrictions on the ability of financial institutions to make loans that are considered highly leveraged transactions, the availability of senior loans for investment by the Closed-End Funds or the ETFs may be adversely affected. In addition, such requirements or restrictions could reduce or eliminate sources of financing for certain borrowers. This would increase the risk of default. If legislation or federal or state regulators require financial institutions to dispose of senior loans that are considered highly leveraged transactions or subject such senior loans to increased regulatory scrutiny, financial institutions may determine to sell such senior loans. Such sales could result in depressed prices. If a Closed-End Fund or an ETF attempts to sell a senior loan at a time when a financial institution is engaging in such a sale, the price a Closed-End Fund or an ETF could get for the senior loan may be adversely affected. Some senior loans are subject to the risk that a court, pursuant to fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws, could subordinate the senior loans to presently existing or future indebtedness of the borrower or take other action detrimental to lenders. Such court action could under certain circumstances include invalidation of senior loans. Any lender, which could include a Closed-End Fund or an ETF, is subject to the risk that a court could find the lender liable for damages in a claim by a borrower arising under the common laws of tort or contracts or anti-fraud provisions of certain securities laws for actions taken or omitted to be taken by the lenders under the relevant terms of a loan agreement or in connection with actions with respect to the collateral underlying the senior loan. Floating-Rate Securities Risk. If set forth in Part A of the prospectus, a trust, or issuers of securities held by a trust may invest in floating-rate securities. Certain Closed-End Funds or ETFs held by the trust may invest in securities that are structured as floating-rate instruments in which the interest rate payable on the obligations fluctuates on a periodic basis based upon changes in a base lending rate. As a result, the yield on these securities will generally decline in a falling interest rate environment, causing the Closed-End Funds or the ETFs to experience a reduction in the income they receive from these securities. A sudden and significant increase in market interest rates may increase the risk of payment defaults and cause a decline in the value of these investments and the value of the Closed-End Funds or the ETFs held by the trust. Small-Capitalization and Mid-Capitalization Stocks Risk. If set forth in Part A of the prospectus, a trust may invest in small-capitalization or mid-capitalization stocks. Investing in small-capitalization stocks or mid-capitalization stocks may involve greater risk than investing in large-capitalization stocks, since they can be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements. Many small market capitalization companies ("Small-Cap Companies") or middle market capitalization companies ("Mid-Cap Companies") will have had their securities publicly traded, if at all, for only a short period of time and will not have had the opportunity to establish a reliable trading pattern through economic cycles. The price volatility of Small-Cap Companies and Mid-Cap Companies is relatively higher than larger, older and more mature companies. The greater price volatility of Small-Cap Companies and Mid-Cap Companies may result from the fact that there may be less market liquidity, less information publicly available or fewer investors who monitor the activities of these companies. In addition, the market prices of these securities may exhibit more sensitivity to changes in industry or general economic conditions. Some Small-Cap Companies or Mid-Cap Companies will not have been in existence long enough to experience economic cycles or to demonstrate whether they are sufficiently well managed to survive downturns or inflationary periods. Further, a variety of factors may affect the success of a company's business beyond the ability of its management to prepare or compensate for them, including domestic and international political developments, government trade and fiscal policies, patterns of trade and war or other military conflict which may affect industries or markets or the economy generally. Administration of the Trust Distributions to Unitholders. Income received by a trust is credited by the trustee to the Income Account of the trust. Other receipts are credited to the Capital Account of a trust. Income received by a trust will be distributed on or shortly after the distribution dates each year shown in the prospectus on a pro rata basis to unitholders of record as of the preceding record date shown in the prospectus. However, if set forth in Part A of the prospectus that the trust will prorate distributions on an annual basis ("Income Averaging"), then income received by the trust will be distributed on a prorated basis of one-twelfth of the estimated annual income to the trust for the ensuing 12 months. All distributions will be net of applicable expenses. There is no assurance that any actual distributions will be made since all dividends received may be used to pay expenses. In addition, excess amounts from the Capital Account of a trust, if any, will be distributed at least annually to the unitholders then of record. Proceeds received from the disposition of any of the securities after a record date and prior to the following distribution date will be held in the Capital Account and not distributed until the next distribution date applicable to the Capital Account. The trustee shall be required to make a distribution from the Capital Account if the cash balance on deposit therein available for distribution shall be sufficient to distribute at least $1.00 per 100 units. The trustee is not required to pay interest on funds held in the Capital or Income Accounts (but may itself earn interest thereon and therefore benefits from the use of such funds). The trustee is authorized to reinvest any funds held in the Capital or Income Accounts, pending distribution, in U.S. Treasury obligations which mature on or before the next applicable distribution date. Any obligations so acquired must be held until they mature and proceeds therefrom may not be reinvested. The distribution to the unitholders as of each record date will be made on the following distribution date or shortly thereafter and shall consist of an amount substantially equal to such portion of the unitholders' pro rata share of the dividend distributions then held in the Income Account after deducting estimated expenses. Because dividends are not received by a trust at a constant rate throughout the year, such distributions to unitholders are expected to fluctuate. However, if the trust uses Income Averaging, the trust prorates the income distribution on an annual basis and annual income distributions are expected to vary from year to year. If the amount on deposit in the Income Account is insufficient for payment of the amount of income to be distributed on a monthly basis, the trustee shall advance out of its own funds and cause to be deposited in and credited to such Income Account such amount as may be required to permit payment of the monthly income distribution. The trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the trust, without interest, out of income received by the trust subsequent to the date of such advance and subject to the condition that any such reimbursement shall be made only if it will not reduce the funds in or available for the Income Account to an amount less than required for the next ensuing distribution. Persons who purchase units will commence receiving distributions only after such person becomes a record owner. A person will become the owner of units, and thereby a unitholder of record, on the date of settlement provided payment has been received. Notification to the trustee of the transfer of units is the responsibility of the purchaser, but in the normal course of business such notice is provided by the selling broker-dealer. The trustee will periodically deduct from the Income Account of a trust and, to the extent funds are not sufficient therein, from the Capital Account of a trust amounts necessary to pay the expenses of a trust. The trustee also may withdraw from said accounts such amounts, if any, as it deems necessary to establish a reserve for any governmental charges payable out of a trust. Amounts so withdrawn shall not be considered a part of a trust's assets until such time as the trustee shall return all or any part of such amounts to the appropriate accounts. In addition, the trustee may withdraw from the Income and Capital Accounts of a trust such amounts as may be necessary to cover redemptions of units. Distribution Reinvestment. Unitholders may elect to have distributions of capital (including capital gains) or dividends, if any, or both automatically invested into additional units of their trust without a sales fee. Your trust will pay any deferred sales fee per unit regardless of any sales fee discounts. However, if you elect to have distributions on your units reinvested into additional units of your trust, you will be credited the amount of any remaining deferred sales charge on such additional units at the time of reinvestment. Unitholders who are receiving distributions in cash may elect to participate in distribution reinvestment by filing with the Program Agent an election to have such distributions reinvested without charge. Such election must be received by the Program Agent at least ten days prior to the record date applicable to any distribution in order to be in effect for such record date. Any such election shall remain in effect until a subsequent notice is received by the Program Agent. The Program Agent is The Bank of New York Mellon. All inquiries concerning participating in distribution reinvestment should be directed to The Bank of New York Mellon at its Unit Investment Trust Division office. Statements to Unitholders. With each distribution, the trustee will furnish to each registered holder a statement of the amount of income and the amount of other receipts, if any, which are being distributed, expressed in each case as a dollar amount per unit. The accounts of a trust will not be audited annually unless the sponsor determines that such an audit would be in the best interest of the unitholders of the trust. If an audit is conducted, it will be done at the related trust's expense, by independent public accountants designated by the sponsor. The accountants' report will be furnished by the trustee to any unitholder upon written request. Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the trustee shall furnish to each person who at any time during the calendar year was a unitholder of a trust a statement, covering the calendar year, generally setting forth for the trust: (A) As to the Income Account: (1) Income received; (2) Deductions for applicable taxes and for fees and expenses of the trust and for redemptions of units, if any; and (3) The balance remaining after such distributions and deductions, expressed in each case both as a total dollar amount and as a dollar amount representing the pro rata share of each unit outstanding on the last business day of such calendar year; and (B) As to the Capital Account: (1) The dates of disposition of any securities and the net proceeds received therefrom; (2) Deductions for payment of applicable taxes and fees and expenses of the trust; and (3) The balance remaining after such distributions and deductions expressed both as a total dollar amount and as a dollar amount representing the pro rata share of each unit outstanding on the last business day of such calendar year; and (C) The following information: (1) A list of the securities as of the last business day of such calendar year; (2) The number of units outstanding on the last business day of such calendar year; (3) The redemption price based on the last evaluation made during such calendar year; and (4) The amount actually distributed during such calendar year from the Income and Capital Accounts separately stated, expressed both as total dollar amounts and as dollar amounts per unit outstanding on the record dates for each such distribution. Rights of Unitholders. A unitholder may at any time tender units to the trustee for redemption. The death or incapacity of any unitholder will not operate to terminate a trust nor entitle legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to bring any action or proceeding in any court for partition or winding up of a trust. No unitholder shall have the right to control the operation and management of a trust in any manner, except to vote with respect to the amendment of the trust agreement or termination of a trust. Amendment and Termination. The trust agreement may be amended by the trustee and the sponsor without the consent of any of the unitholders: (i) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision which may be defective or inconsistent; (ii) to change any provision thereof as may be required by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any successor governmental agency; (iii) to make such provisions as shall not materially adversely affect the interests of the unitholders; or (iv) to make such other amendments as may be necessary for a trust to qualify as a regulated investment company, in the case of a trust which has elected to qualify as such. The trust agreement with respect to any trust may also be amended in any respect by the sponsor and the trustee, or any of the provisions thereof may be waived, with the consent of the holders of units representing 66 2/3% of the units then outstanding of the trust, provided that no such amendment or waiver will reduce the interest of any unitholder thereof without the consent of such unitholder or reduce the percentage of units required to consent to any such amendment or waiver without the consent of all unitholders of the trust. In no event shall the trust agreement be amended to increase the number of units of a trust issuable thereunder, to permit the acquisition of any securities in addition to or in substitution for those initially deposited in the trust or to adversely affect the characterization of a trust as a regulated investment company for federal income tax purposes, except in accordance with the provisions of the trust agreement. The trustee shall promptly notify unitholders of the substance of any such amendment. The trust agreement provides that a trust shall terminate upon the liquidation, redemption or other disposition of the last of the securities held in the trust but in no event is it to continue beyond the mandatory termination date set forth in Part A of the prospectus. If the value of a trust shall be less than the applicable minimum value stated in the prospectus, the trustee may, in its discretion, and shall, when so directed by the sponsor, terminate the trust. A trust may be terminated at any time by the holders of units representing 66 2/3% of the units thereof then outstanding. In addition, the sponsor may terminate a trust if it is based on a security index and the index is no longer maintained. Beginning nine business days prior to, but no later than, the mandatory termination date described in the prospectus, the trustee may begin to sell all of the remaining underlying securities on behalf of unitholders in connection with the termination of the trust. The sponsor may assist the trustee in these sales and receive compensation to the extent permitted by applicable law. The sale proceeds will be net of any incidental expenses involved in the sales. The trustee will attempt to sell the securities as quickly as it can during the termination proceedings without, in its judgment, materially adversely affecting the market price of the securities, but it is expected that all of the securities will in any event be disposed of within a reasonable time after a trust's termination. The sponsor does not anticipate that the period will be longer than one month, and it could be as short as one day, depending on the liquidity of the securities being sold. The liquidity of any security depends on the daily trading volume of the security and the amount that the sponsor has available for sale on any particular day. Of course, no assurances can be given that the market value of the securities will not be adversely affected during the termination proceedings. Within a reasonable period after termination, the trustee will sell any securities remaining in a trust and, after paying all expenses and charges incurred by the trust, will distribute to unitholders thereof their pro rata share of the balances remaining in the Income and Capital Accounts of the trust. The sponsor currently intends, but is not obligated, to offer for sale units of a subsequent series of certain trusts at approximately one year after the inception date of such trusts. If the sponsor does offer such units for sale, unitholders may be given the opportunity to purchase such units at a public offering price which includes a reduced sales fee. There is, however, no assurance that units of any new series of a trust will be offered for sale at that time, or if offered, that there will be sufficient units available for sale to meet the requests of any or all unitholders. The Trustee. The trustee is The Bank of New York Mellon, a trust company organized under the laws of New York. The Bank of New York Mellon has its Unit Investment Trust Division offices at 2 Hanson Place, 12th Fl., Brooklyn, New York 11217, telephone 1-800-701-8178. The Bank of New York Mellon is subject to supervision and examination by the Superintendent of Banks of the State of New York and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and its deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to the extent permitted by law. The trustee, whose duties are ministerial in nature, has not participated in selecting the portfolio of any trust. In accordance with the trust agreement, the trustee shall keep records of all transactions at its office. Such records shall include the name and address of, and the number of units held by, every unitholder of a trust. Such books and records shall be open to inspection by any unitholder at all reasonable times during usual business hours. The trustee shall make such annual or other reports as may from time to time be required under any applicable state or federal statute, rule or regulation. The trustee shall keep a certified copy or duplicate original of the trust agreement on file in its office available for inspection at all reasonable times during usual business hours by any unitholder, together with a current list of the securities held in each trust. Pursuant to the trust agreement, the trustee may employ one or more agents for the purpose of custody and safeguarding of securities comprising a trust. Under the trust agreement, the trustee or any successor trustee may resign and be discharged of a trust created by the trust agreement by executing an instrument in writing and filing the same with the sponsor. The trustee or successor trustee must mail a copy of the notice of resignation to all unitholders then of record, not less than sixty days before the date specified in such notice when such resignation is to take effect. The sponsor upon receiving notice of such resignation is obligated to appoint a successor trustee promptly. If, upon such resignation, no successor trustee has been appointed and has accepted the appointment within thirty days after notification, the retiring trustee may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor. The sponsor may at any time remove the trustee, with or without cause, and appoint a successor trustee as provided in the trust agreement. Notice of such removal and appointment shall be mailed to each unitholder by the sponsor. Upon execution of a written acceptance of such appointment by such successor trustee, all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of the original trustee shall vest in the successor. The trustee must be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, or any state thereof, be authorized under such laws to exercise trust powers and have at all times an aggregate capital, surplus and undivided profits of not less than $5,000,000. The Sponsor. Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC specializes in the creation, development and distribution of investment solutions for advisors and their valued clients. Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC was created as Ranson & Associates, Inc. in 1995 and is the successor sponsor to unit investment trusts formerly sponsored by EVEREN Unit Investment Trusts, a service of EVEREN Securities, Inc. Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC is also the sponsor and successor sponsor of Series of Ranson Unit Investment Trusts and The Kansas Tax-Exempt Trust and Multi-State Series of The Ranson Municipal Trust. On October 29, 2001, Ranson & Associates, Inc. was acquired by Claymore Group LLC. The sale to Claymore Group LLC was financed by a loan from The Bank of New York Mellon, the trustee. In November 2001, the sponsor changed its name from Ranson & Associates, Inc. to Claymore Securities, Inc. On October 14, 2009, Guggenheim Partners, LLC acquired Claymore Securities, Inc. Since the finalization of the acquisition, Claymore Securities, Inc. has been operating as a subsidiary of Guggenheim Partners, LLC. On September 27, 2010, Claymore Securities, Inc. officially changed its name to Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC. Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC has been active in public and corporate finance, has underwritten closed-end funds and has sold bonds, mutual funds, closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds, structured products and unit investment trusts and maintained secondary market activities relating thereto. At present, Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC which is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), is the sponsor to each of the above-named unit investment trusts. The sponsor's offices are located at 2455 Corporate West Drive, Lisle, Illinois 60532. If at any time the sponsor shall fail to perform any of its duties under the trust agreement or shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or shall have its affairs taken over by public authorities, then the trustee may (i) appoint a successor sponsor at rates of compensation deemed by the trustee to be reasonable and not exceeding such reasonable amounts as may be prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission; (ii) terminate the trust agreement and liquidate any trust as provided therein; or (iii) continue to act as trustee without terminating the trust agreement. The Supervisor and the Evaluator. Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC, the sponsor, also serves as evaluator and supervisor. The evaluator and supervisor may resign or be removed by the trustee in which event the trustee is to use its best efforts to appoint a satisfactory successor. Such resignation or removal shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor evaluator. If upon resignation of the evaluator no successor has accepted appointment within thirty days after notice of resignation, the evaluator may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor. Notice of such registration or removal and appointment shall be mailed by the trustee to each unitholder. As evaluator, Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC utilizes the trustee to perform certain evaluation services. Limitations on Liability. The sponsor is liable for the performance of its obligations arising from its responsibilities under the trust agreement, but will be under no liability to the unitholders for taking any action or refraining from any action in good faith pursuant to the trust agreement or for errors in judgment, except in cases of its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or its reckless disregard for its duties thereunder. The sponsor shall not be liable or responsible in any way for depreciation or loss incurred by reason of the sale of any securities. The trust agreement provides that the trustee shall be under no liability for any action taken in good faith in reliance upon prima facie properly executed documents or for the disposition of moneys, securities or certificates except by reason of its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, or its reckless disregard for its duties under the trust agreement, nor shall the trustee be liable or responsible in any way for depreciation or loss incurred by reason of the sale by the trustee of any securities. In the event that the sponsor shall fail to act, the trustee may act and shall not be liable for any such action taken by it in good faith. The trustee shall not be personally liable for any taxes or other governmental charges imposed upon or in respect of the securities or upon the interest thereof. In addition, the trust agreement contains other customary provisions limiting the liability of the trustee. The unitholders may rely on any evaluation furnished by the evaluator and shall have no responsibility for the accuracy thereof. The trust agreement provides that the determinations made by the evaluator shall be made in good faith upon the basis of the best information available to it, provided, however, that the evaluator shall be under no liability to the trustee or unitholders for errors in judgment, but shall be liable for its gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or its reckless disregard for its obligations under the trust agreement. Expenses of the Trust The sponsor does not charge a trust an annual advisory fee. The sponsor will receive a portion of the sale commissions paid in connection with the purchase of units and will share in profits, if any, related to the deposit of securities in the trust. The sponsor and/or its affiliates do, also, receive an annual fee as set forth in Part A of the prospectus for maintaining surveillance over the portfolio and for performing certain administrative services for the trust (the "Sponsor's Supervisory Fee"). In providing such supervisory services, the sponsor may purchase research from a variety of sources, which may include dealers of the trusts. If so provided in Part A of the prospectus, the sponsor may also receive an annual fee for providing bookkeeping and administrative services for a trust (the "Bookkeeping and Administrative Fee"). Such services may include, but are not limited to, the preparation of various materials for unitholders and providing account information to the unitholders. If so provided in Part A of the prospectus, the evaluator may also receive an annual fee for performing evaluation services for the trusts (the "Evaluator's Fee"). In addition, if so provided in Part A of the prospectus, a trust may be charged an annual licensing fee to cover licenses for the use of service marks, trademarks, trade names and intellectual property rights and/or for the use of databases and research. The trust will bear all operating expenses. Estimated annual trust operating expenses are as set forth in Part A of the prospectus; if actual expenses are higher than the estimate, the excess will be borne by the trust. The estimated expenses include listing fees but do not include the brokerage commissions and other transactional fees payable by the trust in purchasing and selling securities. The trustee receives for its services that fee set forth in Part A of the prospectus. The trustee's fee, which is paid monthly, is based on the largest number of units of a trust outstanding at any time during the primary offering period. After the primary offering period, the fee shall accrue daily and be based on the number of units outstanding on the first business day of each calendar year in which the fee is calculated or the number of units outstanding at the end of the primary offering period, as appropriate. The Sponsor's Supervisory Fee, the Bookkeeping and Administrative Fee and the Evaluator's Fee are paid monthly and are based on the largest number of units of a trust outstanding at any time during the primary offering period. After the primary offering period, these fees shall accrue daily and be based on the number of units outstanding on the first business day of each calendar year in which a fee is calculated or the number of units outstanding at the end of the primary offering period, as appropriate. The trustee benefits to the extent there are funds for future distributions, payment of expenses and redemptions in the Capital and Income Accounts since these Accounts are non-interest bearing and the amounts earned by the trustee are retained by the trustee. Part of the trustee's compensation for its services to a trust is expected to result from the use of these funds. In addition, the Sponsor's Supervisory Fee, Bookkeeping and Administrative Fee, Evaluator's Fee and the Trustee's Fee may be adjusted in accordance with the cumulative percentage increase of the United States Department of Labor's Consumer Price Index entitled "All Services Less Rent" since the establishment of the trust. In addition, with respect to any fees payable to the sponsor or an affiliate of the sponsor for providing bookkeeping and other administrative services, supervisory services and evaluation services, such individual fees may exceed the actual costs of providing such services for a trust, but at no time will the total amount received for such services, in the aggregate, rendered to all unit investment trusts of which Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC is the sponsor in any calendar year exceed the actual cost to the sponsor or its affiliates of supplying such services, in the aggregate, in such year. In addition, the trustee may reimburse the sponsor out of its own assets for services performed by employees of the sponsor in connection with the operation of your trust. The trust will also pay a fee to the sponsor for creating and developing the trust, including determining the trust's objective, policies, composition and size, selecting service providers and information services, and for providing other similar administrative and ministerial functions. Your trust pays this "creation and development fee" as a fixed dollar amount at the close of the initial offering period. The sponsor does not use the fee to pay distribution expenses or as compensation for sales efforts. The following additional charges are or may be incurred by the trust: (i) fees for the trustee's extraordinary services; (ii) expenses of the trustee (including legal and auditing expenses, but not including any fees and expenses charged by an agent for custody and safeguarding of securities) and of counsel, if any; (iii) various governmental charges; (iv) expenses and costs of any action taken by the trustee to protect the trust or the rights and interests of the unitholders; (v) indemnification of the trustee for any loss, liability or expense incurred by it in the administration of the trust not resulting from gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part; (vi) indemnification of the sponsor for any loss, liability or expense incurred in acting in that capacity without gross negligence, bad faith or willful malfeasance or its reckless disregard for its obligations under the trust agreement; (vii) any offering costs incurred after the end of the initial offering period; and (viii) expenditures incurred in contacting unitholders upon termination of the trust. The fees and expenses set forth herein are payable out of a trust and, when owing to the trustee, are secured by a lien on the trust. Since the securities are all stocks, and the income stream produced by dividend payments, if any, is unpredictable, the sponsor cannot provide any assurance that dividends will be sufficient to meet any or all expenses of a trust. If the balances in the Income and Capital Accounts are insufficient to provide for amounts payable by the trust, the trustee has the power to sell securities to pay such amounts. These sales may result in capital gains or losses to unitholders. It is expected that the income stream produced by dividend payments may be insufficient to meet the expenses of a trust and, accordingly, it is expected that securities will be sold to pay all of the fees and expenses of the trust. The trust shall also bear the expenses associated with updating the trust's registration statement and maintaining registration or qualification of the units and/or a trust under federal or state securities laws subsequent to initial registration. Such expenses shall include legal fees, accounting fees, typesetting fees, electronic filing expenses and regulatory filing fees. The expenses associated with updating registration statements have been historically paid by a unit investment trust's sponsor. Portfolio Transactions and Brokerage Allocation When a trust sells securities, the composition and diversity of the securities in the trust may be altered. In order to obtain the best price for a trust, it may be necessary for the supervisor to specify minimum amounts (such as 100 shares) in which blocks of securities are to be sold. In effecting purchases and sales of a trust's portfolio securities, the sponsor may direct that orders be placed with and brokerage commissions be paid to brokers, including brokers which may be affiliated with the trust, the sponsor or dealers participating in the offering of units. Purchase, Redemption and Pricing of Units Public Offering Price. Units of a trust are offered at the public offering price (which is based on the aggregate underlying value of the securities in the trust and includes the initial sales fee plus a pro rata share of any accumulated amounts in the accounts of the trust). The initial sales fee is equal to the difference between the maximum sales fee and the sum of the remaining deferred sales fee and the creation and development fee ("C&D Fee"). The maximum sales fee is set forth in Part A of the prospectus. The deferred sales fee and the C&D Fee will be collected as described in this prospectus. Units purchased subsequent to the initial deferred sales fee payment will be subject to the initial sales fee, the remaining deferred sales fee payments and the C&D Fee. Units sold or redeemed prior to such time as the entire applicable deferred sales fee has been collected will be assessed the remaining deferred sales fee at the time of such sale or redemption. During the initial offering period, a portion of the public offering price includes an amount of securities to pay for all or a portion of the costs incurred in establishing a trust ("organization costs"). These organization costs include the cost of preparing the registration statement, the trust indenture and other closing documents, registering units with the Securities and Exchange Commission and states, the initial audit of the trust portfolio, legal fees, fees paid to a portfolio consultant for assisting the sponsor in selecting the trust's portfolio, and the initial fees and expenses of the trustee. These costs will be deducted from a trust as of the end of the initial offering period or after six months, at the discretion of the sponsor. As indicated above, the initial public offering price of the units was established by dividing the aggregate underlying value of the securities by the number of units outstanding. Such price determination as of the opening of business on the date a trust was created was made on the basis of an evaluation of the securities in the trust prepared by the evaluator. After the opening of business on this date, the evaluator will appraise or cause to be appraised daily the value of the underlying securities as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange on days the New York Stock Exchange is open and will adjust the public offering price of the units commensurate with such valuation. Such public offering price will be effective for all orders properly received at or prior to the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange on each such day. Orders received by the trustee, sponsor or any dealer for purchases, sales or redemptions after that time, or on a day when the New York Stock Exchange is closed, will be held until the next determination of price. The value of the securities is determined on each business day by the evaluator based on the closing sale prices on a national securities exchange or the NASDAQ National Market System or by taking into account the same factors referred to under "Computation of Redemption Price." Public Distribution of Units. During the initial offering period, units of a trust will be distributed to the public at the public offering price thereof. Upon the completion of the initial offering, units which remain unsold or which may be acquired in the secondary market may be offered at the public offering price determined in the manner provided above. The sponsor intends to qualify units of a trust for sale in a number of states. Units will be sold through dealers who are members of FINRA and through others. Broker-dealers and others will be allowed a concession or agency commission in connection with the distribution of units during the initial offering period as set forth in the prospectus. The sponsor reserves the right to reject, in whole or in part, any order for the purchase of units. Sponsor Profits. The sponsor will receive gross sales fees equal to the percentage of the public offering price of the units of a trust described in the prospectus. In addition, the sponsor may realize a profit (or sustain a loss) as of the date a trust is created resulting from the difference between the purchase prices of the securities to the sponsor and the cost of such securities to the trust. Thereafter, on subsequent deposits the sponsor may realize profits or sustain losses from such deposits. The sponsor may realize additional profits or losses during the initial offering period on unsold units as a result of changes in the daily market value of the securities in the trust. Market for Units. After the initial offering period, the sponsor may maintain a market for units of a trust offered hereby and continuously offer to purchase said units at prices, determined by the evaluator, based on the value of the underlying securities. Unitholders who wish to dispose of their units should inquire of their broker as to current market prices in order to determine whether there is in existence any price in excess of the redemption price and, if so, the amount thereof. Unitholders who sell or redeem units prior to such time as the entire deferred sales fee on such units has been collected will be assessed the amount of the remaining deferred sales fee at the time of such sale or redemption. The offering price of any units resold by the sponsor will be in accord with that described in the currently effective prospectus describing such units. Any profit or loss resulting from the resale of such units will belong to the sponsor. If the sponsor decides to maintain a secondary market, it may suspend or discontinue purchases of units of the trust if the supply of units exceeds demand, or for other business reasons. Redemption. A unitholder who does not dispose of units in the secondary market described above may cause units to be redeemed by the trustee by making a written request to the trustee at its Unit Investment Trust Division office in the city of New York. Unitholders must sign the request, and such transfer instrument, exactly as their names appear on the records of the trustee. If the amount of the redemption is $500 or less and the proceeds are payable to the unitholder(s) of record at the address of record, no signature guarantee is necessary for redemptions by individual account owners (including joint owners). Additional documentation may be requested, and a signature guarantee is always required, from corporations, executors, administrators, trustees, guardians or associations. The signatures must be guaranteed by a participant in the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program ("STAMP") or such other signature guaranty program in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, as may be accepted by the trustee. Redemption shall be made by the trustee no later than the third business day following the day on which a tender for redemption is received (the "Redemption Date") by payment of cash equivalent to the redemption price, determined as set forth below under "Computation of Redemption Price," as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange next following such tender, multiplied by the number of units being redeemed. Any units redeemed shall be canceled and any undivided fractional interest in the related trust extinguished. The price received upon redemption might be more or less than the amount paid by the unitholder depending on the value of the securities in the trust at the time of redemption. Unitholders who sell or redeem units prior to such time as the entire deferred sales fee on such units has been collected will be assessed the amount of the remaining deferred sales fee at the time of such sale or redemption. Certain broker-dealers may charge a transaction fee for processing redemption requests. Under regulations issued by the Internal Revenue Service, the trustee is required to withhold a specified percentage of the principal amount of a unit redemption if the trustee has not been furnished the redeeming unitholder's tax identification number in the manner required by such regulations. Any amount so withheld is transmitted to the Internal Revenue Service and may be recovered by the unitholder only when filing a tax return. Under normal circumstances the trustee obtains the unitholder's tax identification number from the selling broker. However, any time a unitholder elects to tender units for redemption, such unitholder should make sure that the trustee has been provided a certified tax identification number in order to avoid this possible "back-up withholding." In the event the trustee has not been previously provided such number, one must be provided at the time redemption is requested. Any amounts paid on redemption representing unpaid dividends shall be withdrawn from the Income Account of a trust to the extent that funds are available for such purpose. All other amounts paid on redemption shall be withdrawn from the Capital Account for a trust. Unitholders tendering units for redemption may request an in-kind distribution (a "Distribution In Kind") from the trustee in lieu of cash redemption. A unitholder may request a Distribution In Kind of an amount and value of securities per unit equal to the redemption price per unit as determined as of the evaluation time next following the tender, provided that the tendering unitholder is (i) entitled to receive at least $25,000 of proceeds as part of his or her distribution or if he paid at least $25,000 to acquire the units being tendered; and (ii) the unitholder has elected to redeem at least thirty business days prior to the termination of the trust. If the unitholder meets these requirements, a Distribution In Kind will be made by the trustee through the distribution of each of the securities of the trust in book entry form to the account of the unitholder's bank or broker-dealer at Depository Trust Company. The tendering unitholder shall be entitled to receive whole shares of each of the securities comprising the portfolio of the trust and cash from the Capital Account equal to the fractional shares to which the tendering unitholder is entitled. The trustee shall make any adjustments necessary to reflect differences between the redemption price of the units and the value of the securities distributed in kind as of the date of tender. If funds in the Capital Account are insufficient to cover the required cash distribution to the tendering unitholder, the trustee may sell securities. The in-kind redemption option may be terminated by the sponsor at any time. The trustee is empowered to sell securities in order to make funds available for the redemption of units. To the extent that securities are sold or redeemed in kind, the size of a trust will be, and the diversity of a trust may be, reduced but each remaining unit will continue to represent approximately the same proportional interest in each security. Sales may be required at a time when securities would not otherwise be sold and may result in lower prices than might otherwise be realized. The price received upon redemption may be more or less than the amount paid by the unitholder depending on the value of the securities in the portfolio at the time of redemption. Unitholders of a trust that holds closed-end funds or other investment company securities who request a Distribution In Kind will be subject to any 12b-1 Fees or other service or distribution fees applicable to the underlying securities. The right of redemption may be suspended and payment postponed for more than three business days following the day on which tender for redemption is made (i) for any period during which the New York Stock Exchange is closed, other than customary weekend and holiday closings, or during which (as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission) trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted; (ii) for any period during which an emergency exists as a result of which disposal by the trustee of securities is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable to fairly determine the value of the underlying securities in accordance with the trust agreement; or (iii) for such other period as the Securities and Exchange Commission may by order permit. The trustee is not liable to any person in any way for any loss or damage which may result from any such suspension or postponement. Computation of Redemption Price. The redemption price per unit (as well as the secondary market public offering price) will generally be determined on the basis of the last sale price of the securities in a trust. The redemption price per unit is the pro rata share of each unit in a trust determined generally on the basis of (i) the cash on hand in the trust or moneys in the process of being collected; and (ii) the value of the securities in the trust less (a) amounts representing taxes or other governmental charges payable out of the trust, (b) any amount owing to the trustee for its advances and (c) the accrued expenses or remaining deferred sales fees of the trust. During the initial offering period, the redemption price and the secondary market repurchase price will also include estimated organizational costs. The evaluator may determine the value of the securities in the trust in the following manner: if the securities are listed on a national or foreign securities exchange or the NASDAQ National Market System, such evaluation shall generally be based on the last available sale price on or immediately prior to the Evaluation Time on the exchange or NASDAQ National Market System which is the principal market therefor, which shall be deemed to be the New York Stock Exchange if the securities are listed thereon (unless the evaluator deems such price inappropriate as a basis for evaluation) or, if there is no such available sale price on such exchange, at the last available bid prices (offer prices for primary market purchases) of the securities. Securities not listed on the New York Stock Exchange but principally traded on the NASDAQ National Market System will be valued at the NASDAQ National Market System's official closing price. If the securities are not so listed or, if so listed, the principal market therefor is other than on such exchange or there is no such available sale price on such exchange, such evaluation shall generally be based on the following methods or any combination thereof whichever the evaluator deems appropriate: (i) on the basis of the current bid price (offer prices for primary market purchases) for comparable securities (unless the evaluator deems such price inappropriate as a basis for evaluation); (ii) by determining the valuation of the securities on the bid side (offer side for primary market purchases) of the market by appraisal; or (iii) by any combination of the above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the evaluator or its designee, will generally value foreign securities primarily traded on foreign exchanges at their fair value which may be other than their market price. If the trust holds securities denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the evaluation of such security is based upon U.S. dollars based on current bid side (offer side for primary market purchases) exchange rates (unless the evaluator deems such prices inappropriate as a basis for valuation). Retirement Plans. A trust may be well suited for purchase by Individual Retirement Accounts, Keogh Plans, pension funds and other qualified retirement plans. Generally, capital gains and income received under each of the foregoing plans are deferred from federal taxation. All distributions from such plans are generally treated as ordinary income but may, in some cases, be eligible for special income averaging or tax deferred rollover treatment. Investors considering participation in any such plan should review specific tax laws related thereto and should consult their attorneys or tax advisers with respect to the establishment and maintenance of any such plan. Such plans are offered by brokerage firms and other financial institutions. The trust will lower the minimum investment requirement for IRA accounts to 1 unit. Fees and charges with respect to such plans may vary. Ownership of Units. Ownership of units will not be evidenced by certificates. All evidence of ownership of units will be recorded in book entry form at Depository Trust Company ("DTC") through an investor's brokers' account. Units held through DTC will be registered in the nominee name of Cede & Co. Individual purchases of beneficial ownership interest in the trust will be made in book entry form through DTC. Ownership and transfer of units will be evidenced and accomplished by book entries made by DTC and its participants. DTC will record ownership and transfer of the units among DTC participants and forward all notices and credit all payments received in respect of the units held by the DTC participants. Beneficial owners of units will receive written confirmation of their purchases and sale from the broker dealer or bank from whom their purchase was made. Units are transferable by making a written request properly accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer which should be sent registered or certified mail for the protection of the unitholder. Record holders must sign such written request exactly as their names appear on the records of the trust. The signatures must be guaranteed by a participant in the STAMP or such other signature guaranty program in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, as may be acceptable by the trustee. Units may be purchased in denominations of one unit or any multiple thereof, subject to the minimum investment requirement. Fractions of units, if any, will be computed to three decimal places. Taxes This section summarizes some of the main U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning units of a trust. This section is current as of the date of this prospectus. Tax laws and interpretations change frequently, and these summaries do not describe all of the tax consequences to all taxpayers. For example, these summaries generally do not describe your situation if you are a corporation, a non-U.S. person, a broker/dealer, or other investor with special circumstances. In addition, this section does not describe your state, local or foreign tax consequences. This federal income tax summary is based in part on the advice and opinion of counsel to the sponsor. The Internal Revenue Service could disagree with any conclusions set forth in this section. In addition, our counsel was not asked to review, and has not reached a conclusion with respect to the federal income tax treatment of the assets to be deposited in your trust. This may not be sufficient for you to use for the purpose of avoiding penalties under federal tax law. As with any investment, you should seek advice based on your individual circumstances from your own tax advisor. Assets of the Trusts. The trusts are expected to hold shares of stock in corporations (the "Stocks") that are treated as equity for federal income tax purposes. It is possible that a trust will also hold other assets, including assets that are treated differently for federal income tax purposes from those described above, in which case you will have federal income tax consequences different from or in addition to those described in this section. All of the assets held by the trust constitute the "Trust Assets." Neither our counsel nor we have analyzed the proper federal income tax treatment of the Trust Assets and thus neither our counsel nor we have reached a conclusion regarding the federal income tax treatment of the Trust Assets. Trust Status. If your trust is at all times operated in accordance with the documents establishing the trust and certain requirements of federal income tax law are met, the trust will not be taxed as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. As a unit owner, you will be treated as the owner of a pro rata portion of each of the Trust Assets, and as such you will be considered to have received a pro rata share of income (e.g., dividends and capital gains, if any) from each Trust Asset when such income would be considered to be received by you if you directly owned the Trust Assets. This is true even if you elect to have your distributions reinvested into additional units. In addition, the income from Trust Assets that you must take into account for federal income tax purposes is not reduced by amounts used to pay sales charges or trust expenses. Income from a trust may also be subject to a 3.8% "Medicare tax." This tax generally applies to your net investment income if your adjusted gross income exceeds certain threshold amounts, which are $250,000 in the case of married couples filing joint returns and $200,000 in the case of single individuals. Your Tax Basis and Income or Loss Upon Disposition. If your trust disposes of Trust Assets, you will generally recognize gain or loss. If you dispose of your units or redeem your units for cash, you will also generally recognize gain or loss. To determine the amount of this gain or loss, you must subtract your tax basis in the related Trust Assets from your share of the total amount received in the transaction. You can generally determine your initial tax basis in each Trust Asset by apportioning the cost of your units, including sales charges, among the Trust Assets ratably according to their values on the date you acquire your units. In certain circumstances, however, you may have to adjust your tax basis after you acquire your units (for example, in the case of certain dividends that exceed a corporation's accumulated earnings and profits). If you are an individual, the maximum marginal stated federal tax rate for net capital gain is generally 20% for taxpayers in the 39.6% tax bracket, 15% for taxpayers in the 25%, 28%, 33% and 35% tax brackets and 0% for taxpayers in the 10% and 15% tax brackets. Some capital gains may be subject to a higher marginal stated tax rate. Capital gains may also be subject to the "Medicare tax" described above. Net capital gain equals net long-term capital gain minus net short-term capital loss for the taxable year. Capital gain or loss is long-term if the holding period for the asset is more than one year and is short-term if the holding period for the asset is one year or less. You must exclude the date you purchase your units to determine your holding period. The tax rates for capital gains realized from assets held for one year or less are generally the same as for ordinary income. The Internal Revenue Code, however, treats certain capital gains as ordinary income in special situations. Dividends from Stocks. Certain dividends received with respect to the Stocks may qualify to be taxed at the same rates that apply to net capital gain (as discussed above), provided certain holding period requirements are satisfied. Dividends Received Deduction. Generally, a domestic corporation owning units in a trust may be eligible for the dividends received deduction with respect to such unit owner's pro rata portion of certain types of dividends received by the trust. However, a corporation that owns units generally will not be entitled to the dividends received deduction with respect to dividends from most foreign corporations. In-Kind Distributions. Under certain circumstances as described in this prospectus, you may request an in-kind distribution of Trust Assets when you redeem your units at any time prior to 30 business days before your trust's termination. However, this ability to request an in-kind distribution will terminate at any time that the number of outstanding units has been reduced to 10% or less of the highest number of units issued by the trust. By electing to receive an in-kind distribution, you will receive Trust Assets plus, possibly, cash. You will not recognize gain or loss if you only receive whole Trust Assets in exchange for the identical amount of your pro rata portion of the same Trust Assets held by your trust. However, if you also receive cash in exchange for a Trust Asset or a fractional portion of a Trust Asset, you will generally recognize gain or loss based on the difference between the amount of cash you receive and your tax basis in such Trust Asset or fractional portion. Exchanges. If you elect to have your proceeds from your trust rolled over into a future series of the trust, it is considered a sale for federal income tax purposes and any gain on the sale will be treated as a capital gain, and any loss will be treated as a capital loss. However, any loss you incur in connection with the exchange of your units of your trusts for units of the next series will generally be disallowed with respect to this deemed sale and subsequent deemed repurchase, to the extent the two trusts have substantially identical Trust Assets under the wash sale provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Limitations on the Deductibility of Trust Expenses. Generally, for federal income tax purposes, you must take into account your full pro rata share of your trust's income, even if some of that income is used to pay trust expenses. You may deduct your pro rata share of each expense paid by your trust to the same extent as if you directly paid the expense. You may be required to treat some or all of the expenses of your trust as miscellaneous itemized deductions. Individuals may only deduct certain miscellaneous itemized deductions to the extent they exceed 2% of adjusted gross income. Some individuals may also be subject to further limitations on the amount of their itemized deductions, depending on their income. Foreign Investors, Taxes and Investments. Distributions by your trust that are treated as U.S. source income (e.g., dividends received on Stocks of domestic corporations) will generally be subject to U.S. income taxation and withholding in the case of units held by nonresident alien individuals, foreign corporations or other non-U.S. persons, subject to any applicable treaty. If you are a foreign investor (i.e., an investor other than a U.S. citizen or resident or a U.S. corporation, partnership, estate or trust), you may not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes, including withholding taxes, on some or all of the income from your trust or on any gain from the sale or redemption of your units, provided that certain conditions are met. You should consult your tax advisor with respect to the conditions you must meet in order to be exempt for U.S. tax purposes. Distributions may be subject to a U.S. withholding tax of 30% in the case of distributions to (i) certain non-U.S. financial institutions that have not entered into an agreement with the U.S. Treasury to collect and disclose certain information and are not resident in a jurisdiction that has entered into such an agreement with the U.S. Treasury; and (ii) certain other non-U.S. entities that do not provide certain certifications and information about the entity's U.S. owners. Dispositions of units by such persons may be subject to such withholding after December 31, 2018. You should also consult your tax advisor with respect to other U.S. tax withholding and reporting requirements. Some distributions by your trust may be subject to foreign withholding taxes. Any income withheld will still be treated as income to you. Under the grantor trust rules, you are considered to have paid directly your share of any foreign taxes that are paid. Therefore, for U.S. tax purposes, you may be entitled to a foreign tax credit or deduction for those foreign taxes. If any U.S. investor is treated as owning directly or indirectly 10% or more of the combined voting power of the stock of a foreign corporation, and all U.S. shareholders of that corporation collectively own more than 50% of the vote or value of the stock of that corporation, the foreign corporation may be treated as a controlled foreign corporation (a "CFC"). If you own 10% or more of a CFC (through your trust and in combination with your other investments), or possibly if the trust owns 10% more of a CFC, you will be required to include certain types of the CFC's income in your taxable income for federal income tax purposes whether or not such income is distributed to your trust or to you. A foreign corporation will generally be treated as a passive foreign investment company (a "PFIC") if 75% or more of its income is passive income or if 50% or more of its assets are held to produce passive income. If your trust purchases shares in a PFIC, you may be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a portion of certain distributions or on gains from the disposition of such shares at rates that were applicable in prior years and any gain may be recharacterized as ordinary income that is not eligible for the lower net capital gains tax rate. Additional charges in the nature of interest may also be imposed on you. Certain elections may be available with respect to PFICs that would limit these consequences. However, these elections would require you to include certain income of the PFIC in your taxable income even if not distributed to your trust or to you, or require you to annually recognize as ordinary income any increase in the value of the shares of the PFIC, thus requiring you to recognize income for federal income tax purposes in excess of your actual distributions from PFICs and proceeds from dispositions of PFIC stock during a particular year. Dividends paid by PFICs are not eligible to be taxed at the net capital gains tax rate. New York Tax Status. Under the existing income tax laws of the State and City of New York, your trust will not be taxed as a corporation subject to the New York state franchise tax or the New York City general corporation tax. You should consult your tax advisor regarding potential foreign, state or local taxation with respect to your units. Experts Legal Matters.

the Prospectus.

      (11) The first paragraph of Section 5.01 is hereby amended and restated to
read as follows:

      Section 5.01. Trust Evaluation. As of the Evaluation Time (a) on the last
Business Day of each year, (b) on the day on which any Unit is tendered for
redemption and (c) on any other day desired by the Trustee or requested by the
Depositor, the Trustee shall: Add (i) all moneys on deposit in a Trust
(excluding (1) cash, cash equivalents or Letters of Credit deposited pursuant to
Section 2.01 hereof for the purchase of Contract Securities, unless such cash or
Letters of Credit have been deposited in the Interest and Principal Accounts
because of failure to apply such moneys to the purchase of Contract Securities
pursuant to the provisions of Sections 2.01, 3.03 and 3.04 hereof and (2) moneys
credited to the Reserve Account pursuant to Section 3.05 hereof), plus (ii) the
aggregate Evaluation of all Securities (including Contract Securities and
Reinvestment Securities) on deposit in such Trust as is determined by the
Evaluator (such evaluations shall take into account and itemize separately (i)
the cash on hand in the Trust or moneys in the process of being collected from
matured interest coupons or bonds matured or called for redemption prior to
maturity, (ii) the value of each issue of the Securities in the Trust on the bid
side of the market as determined by the Evaluator pursuant to Section 4.01, and
(iii) interest accrued thereon not subject to collection and distribution). For
each such Evaluation there shall be deducted from the sum of the above (i)
amounts representing any applicable taxes or governmental charges payable out of
the respective Trust and for which no deductions shall have previously been made
for the purpose of addition to the Reserve Account, (ii) amounts representing
estimated accrued fees of the Trust and expenses of such Trust including but not
limited to unpaid fees and expenses of the Trustee, the Evaluator, the
Supervisor, the Depositor and bond counsel, in each case as reported by the
Trustee to the Evaluator on or prior to the date of evaluation, (iii) any moneys
identified by the Trustee, as of the date of the Evaluation, as held for
distribution to Unitholders of record as of a Record Date or for payment of the
Redemption Value of Units tendered prior to such date and (iv) unpaid
organization costs in the estimated amount per Unit set forth in the Prospectus.
The resulting figure is herein called a "Trust Fund Evaluation." The value of
the pro rata share of each Unit of the respective Trust determined on the basis
of any such evaluation shall be referred to herein as the "Unit Value."

      (12) Article III is hereby amended by adding the following section:

      Section 3.23. Bookkeeping and Administrative Expenses. If so provided in
the Prospectus, as compensation for providing bookkeeping and other
administrative services of a character described in Section 26(a)(2)(C) of the
Investment Company Act of 1940 to the extent such services are in addition to,
and do not duplicate, the services to be provided hereunder by the Trustee or
the Depositor for providing supervisory services, the Depositor shall receive at
the times specified in Section 3.05, against a statement or statements therefor
submitted to the Trustee an aggregate annual fee in an amount which shall not
exceed that amount set forth in the Prospectus, calculated as specified in
Section 3.05. Such compensation may, from time to time, be adjusted provided
that the total adjustment upward does not, at the time of such adjustment,
exceed the percentage of the total increase, during the period from the Trust
Agreement to the date of any such increase, in consumer prices for services as
measured by the United States Department of Labor Consumer Price Index entitled
"All Services Less Rent of Shelter" or similar index as described under Section
3.18. The consent or concurrence of any Unitholder hereunder shall not be
required for any such adjustment or increase. Such compensations shall be paid
by the Trustee, upon receipt of invoice therefor from the Depositor, upon which,
as to the cost incurred by the Depositor of providing services hereunder the
Trustee may rely, and shall be charged against the Income and Capital Accounts
as specified in Section 3.05. The Trustee shall have no liability to any
Unitholder or other person for any payment made in good faith pursuant to this
Section.

      If the cash balance in the Income and Capital Accounts shall be
insufficient to provide for amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.23, the
Trustee shall have the power to sell (1) Securities from the current list of
Securities designated to be sold pursuant to Section 5.02 hereof, or (2) if no
such Securities have been so designated, such Securities as the Trustee may see
fit to sell in its own discretion, and to apply the proceeds of any such sale in
payment of the amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.23. Any moneys payable
to the Depositor pursuant to this Section 3.23 shall be secured by a prior lien
on the Trust except that no such lien shall be prior to any lien in favor of the
Trustee under the provisions of Section 6.04.

      Any moneys payable to the Depositor pursuant to this Section 3.23 shall be
secured by a prior lien on the Trust except that no such lien shall be prior to
any lien in favor of the Trustee under the provisions of Section 6.04.

      (13) The phrases "supervisory services," "supervisory portfolio services"
and "portfolio supervisory services" in Sections 3.18 are hereby replaced with
the phrase "portfolio supervisory services and bookkeeping and administrative
expenses."

      (14) Section 7.05 is hereby amended and replaced in its entirety with the
following:

      Section 7.05. Compensation. The Depositor shall receive at the times set
forth in Sections 3.05, 3.18, 3.23 and 4.03 as compensation for performing
portfolio supervisory services, bookkeeping and administrative expenses and
evaluation services, such amount and for such periods as specified the
Prospectus and/or Reference Trust Agreement. The compensation for providing
portfolio supervisory services, bookkeeping and administrative expenses and
evaluation services shall be made on the basis of the largest number of units
outstanding at any time during the period for which such compensation is being
computed. At no time, however, will the total amount received by the Depositor
for services rendered to all series of Guggenheim Defined Portfolios in any
calendar year exceed the aggregate cost to them of supplying such services in
such year. Such rate may be increased by the Trustee from time to time, without
the consent or approval of any Unitholder, or the Depositor, by amounts not
exceeding the proportionate increase during the period from the date of such
Prospectus and/or Reference Trust Agreement to the date of any such increase, in
consumer prices as published either under the classification "All Services Less
Rent" in the Consumer Price Index published by the United States Department of
Labor or, IF such Index is no longer published, a similar index.

      In the event that any amount of the compensation paid to the Depositor
pursuant to Sections 3.05, 3.18 and 3.23 and 4.03 is found to be an improper
charge against a Trust, the Depositor shall reimburse the Trust in such amount.
An improper charge shall be established if a final judgment or order for
reimbursement of the Trust shall be rendered against the Depositor and such
judgment or order shall not be effectively stayed or a final settlement is
established in which the Depositor agrees to reimburse the Trust for amounts
paid to the Depositor pursuant to this Section 7.05.

      (15) The first two sentences of Section 3.22 are hereby amended and
replaced with the following:

      Section 3.22. Creation and Development Fee. If the Prospectus related to a
Trust specifies a creation and development fee, the Trustee shall, on or
immediately after the end of the initial offering period, withdraw from the
Capital Account, an amount equal to the unpaid creation and development fee as
of such date and credit such amount to a special non-Trust account designated by
the Depositor out of which the creation and development fee will be distributed
to the Depositor (the "Creation and Development Account"). The creation and
development fee is the per unit amount specified in the Prospectus for the
Trust.

      (16) Article III is hereby amended by adding the following section:

      Section 3.24. License Fees. If so provided in the Prospectus, the
Depositor may enter into a Licensing Agreement (the "Agreement") with a licensor
(the "Licensor") described in the Prospectus in which the Trust(s), as
consideration for the licenses granted by the Licensor for the right to use its
trademarks and trade names, intellectual property rights or for the use of
databases and research owned by the Licensor, will pay a fee set forth in the
Agreement to the applicable Licensor or the Depositor to reimburse the Depositor
for payment of the expenses.

      If the Agreement provides for an annual license fee computed in whole or
part by reference to the average daily net asset value of the Trust assets, for
purpose of calculating the accrual of estimated expenses such annual fee shall
accrue at a daily rate and the Trustee is authorized to compute an estimated
license fee payment (i) until the Depositor has informed the Trustee that there
will be no further deposits of additional Securities, by reference to an
estimate of the average daily net asset value of the Trust assets which the
Depositor shall provide the Trustee, (ii) thereafter and during the calendar
quarter in which the last business day of the period described in clause (i)
occurs, by reference to the net asset value of the Trust assets as of such last
business day, and (iii) during each subsequent calendar quarter, by reference to
the net asset value of the Trust assets as of the last business day of the
preceding calendar quarter. The Trustee shall adjust the net asset value (Trust
Fund Evaluation) as of the dates specified in the preceding sentence to account
for any variation between accrual of estimated license fee and the license fee
payable pursuant to the Agreement, but such adjustment shall not affect
calculations made prior thereto and no adjustment shall be made in respect
thereof.

      (17) Sections 2.05(a) and 2.05(b) are hereby amended and replaced in their
entirety with the following:

      Section 2.05. Deposit of Additional Securities. (a) Subject to the
requirements set forth below in this Section, the Depositor may, on any Business
Day (the "Trade Date"), subscribe for Additional Units as follows:

      (1) Prior to the Evaluation Time defined in Section 5.01 on the Trade
Date, the Depositor shall provide notice (the "Subscription Notice") to the
Trustee of the Depositor's intention to subscribe for Additional Units. The
Subscription Notice shall identify the Additional Securities to be acquired
(unless such Additional Securities are a precise replication of the then
existing portfolio) and shall either (i) specify the quantity of Additional
Securities to be deposited by the Depositor on the settlement date for such
subscription or (ii) instruct the Trustee to purchase Additional Securities with
an aggregate cost as specified in the Subscription Notice.

      (2) Promptly following the Evaluation Time on such Business Day, the
Depositor shall verify with the Trustee, the number of Additional Units to be
created.

      (3) Not later than the time on the settlement date for such subscription
when the Trustee is to deliver the Additional Units created thereby (which time
shall not be later than the time by which the Trustee is required to settle any
contracts for the purchase of Additional Securities entered into by the Trustee
pursuant to the instruction of the Depositor referred to in subparagraph (1)
above), the Depositor shall deposit with the Trustee (i) any Additional
Securities specified in the Subscription Notice (or contracts to purchase such
Additional Securities together with cash or a letter of credit in the amount
necessary to settle such contracts) or (ii) cash or a letter of credit in the
amount equal to the aggregate cost of the Additional Securities to be purchased
by the Trustee, as specified in the Subscription Notice, together with, in each
case, Cash defined below. "Cash" means, as to the Capital Account, cash or other
property (other than Securities) on hand in the Capital Account or receivable
and to be credited to the Capital Account as of the Evaluation Time on the
Business Day preceding the Trade Date (other than amounts to be distributed
solely to persons other than persons receiving the distribution from the Capital
Account as holders of Additional Units created by the deposit), and, as to the
Income Account, cash or other property (other than Securities) received by the
Trust as of the Evaluation Time on the Business Day preceding the Trade Date or
receivable by the Trust in respect of dividends or other distributions declared
but not received as of the Evaluation Time on the Business Day preceding the
Trade Date, reduced by the amount of any cash or other property received or
receivable on any Security allocable (in accordance with the Trustee's
calculation of the monthly distribution from the Income Account pursuant to
Section 3.05) to a distribution made or to be made in respect of a Record Date
occurring prior to the Trade Date. Each deposit made pursuant to this Section
2.05 shall replicate, to the extent practicable, the portfolio immediately prior
to such deposit.

      (4) On the settlement date for a subscription, the Trustee shall, in
exchange for the Securities and cash or Letter of Credit described above, issue
and deliver to or on the order of the Depositor the number of Units verified by
the Depositor with the Trustee. No Unit to be issued pursuant to this paragraph
shall be issued or delivered unless and until Securities, cash or a Letter of
Credit is received in exchange therefor and no person shall have any claim to
any Unit not so issued and delivered or any interest in the Trust in respect
thereof.

      (5) Any Additional Securities shall be held, administered and applied by
the Trustee in the same manner as herein provided for the Securities.

      (6) The acceptance of Additional Units by the Depositor in accordance with
the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section shall be deemed a certification
by the Depositor that the deposit or purchase of Additional Securities
associated therewith complies with the conditions of this Section 2.05.

      (7) Notwithstanding the preceding, in the event that the Depositor's
Subscription Notice shall instruct the Trustee to purchase Additional Securities
in an amount which, when added to the purchase amount of all other unsettled
contracts entered into by the Trustee, exceeds 25% of the value of the
Securities then held (taking into account the value of contracts to purchase
Securities only to the extent that there has been deposited with the Trustee
cash or an irrevocable letter of credit in an amount sufficient to settle their
purchase), the Depositors shall deposit with the Trustee concurrently with the
Subscription Notice cash or a letter of credit in an amount such that, when
added to 25% of the value of the Securities then held (determined as above) the
aggregate value shall be not less than the purchase amount of the securities to
be purchased pursuant to such Subscription Notice.

      (b) Instructions to purchase Additional Securities under this Section
shall be in writing and shall direct the Trustee to purchase, or enter into
contracts to purchase, Additional Securities; such instructions shall also
specify the name, CUSIP number, if any, aggregate amount of each such Additional
Security and price or range of price. If, at the time of a subsequent deposit
under this Section, Securities of an Original Issue are unavailable, cannot be
purchased at reasonable prices or their purchase is prohibited or restricted by
applicable law, regulation or policies, in lieu of the portion of the deposit
that would otherwise be represented by those Securities, the Depositor may (A)
deposit (or instruct the Trustee to purchase) Securities of another Original
Issue or (B) deposit cash or a letter of credit with instructions to acquire the
Securities of such Original Issue when they become available.

      (18) Section 4.01(b) is replaced in its entirety by the following:

      (b) During the initial offering period such Evaluation shall be made in
the following manner: if the Securities are listed on a national securities
exchange or foreign securities exchange, such Evaluation shall generally be
based on the last available sale price on or immediately prior to the Evaluation
Time on the exchange which is the principal market therefor, which shall be
deemed to be the New York Stock Exchange if the Securities are listed thereon
(unless the Evaluator deems such price inappropriate as a basis for evaluation)
or, if there is no such available sale price on such exchange, at the last
available offer prices of the Securities. Securities not listed on the New York
Stock Exchange but principally traded on the Nasdaq National Market System will
be valued at Nasdaq's official close price. If the Securities are not so listed
or, if so listed, the principal market therefor is other than on such exchange
or there is no such available sale price on such exchange, such Evaluation shall
generally be based on the following methods or any combination thereof whichever
the Evaluator deems appropriate: (i) on the basis of the current offer price for
comparable securities (unless the Evaluator deems such price inappropriate as a
basis for evaluation), (ii) by determining the valuation of the Securities on
the offer side of the market by appraisal or (iii) by any combination of the
above. If the Trust holds Securities denominated in a currency other than U.S.
dollars, the Evaluation of such Security shall be converted to U.S. dollars
based on current offering side exchange rates (unless the Evaluator deems such
prices inappropriate as a basis for valuation). The Evaluator shall add to the
Evaluation of each Security which is traded principally on a foreign securities
exchange the amount of any commissions and relevant taxes associated with the
acquisition of the Security. As used herein, the closing sale price is deemed to
mean the most recent closing sale price on the relevant securities exchange
immediately prior to the Evaluation Time. For each Evaluation, the Evaluator
shall also confirm and furnish to the Trustee and the Depositor, on the basis of
the information furnished to the Evaluator by the Trustee as to the value of all
Trust assets other than Securities, the calculation of the Trust Fund Evaluation
to be computed pursuant to Section 5.01.

      (19) Section 4.01(c) is replaced in its entirety by the following:

      (c) For purposes of the Trust Fund Evaluations required by Section 5.01 in
determining Redemption Value and Unit Value and for secondary market purchases,
Evaluation of the Securities shall be made in the manner described in 4.01(b),
on the basis of the last available bid prices of the Securities (rather than
offer prices), except in those cases in which the Securities are listed on a
national securities exchange or a foreign securities exchange and the last
available sale prices are utilized. In addition, with respect to each Security
which is traded principally on a foreign securities exchange, the Evaluator
shall (i) not make the addition specified in the fourth sentence of Section
4.01(b) and (ii) shall reduce the Evaluation of each Security by the amount of
any liquidation costs (other than brokerage costs incurred on any national
securities exchange) and any capital gains or other taxes which would be
incurred by the Trust upon the sale of such Security, such taxes being computed
as if the Security were sold on the date of the Evaluation.

      (20) Section 9.05 is hereby revised to read as follows:

      Section 9.05. Written Notice. Any notice, demand, direction or instruction
to be given to the Depositor, Evaluator or Supervisor hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be duly given if mailed or delivered to the Depositor, 2455
Corporate West Drive, Lisle, Illinois 60532, or at such other address as shall
be specified by the Depositor to the other parties hereto in writing.

      (21) The second paragraph of Section 6.02 is replaced in its entirety as
follows:

      An audit of the accounts of each Trust shall not be conducted unless the
Depositor determines that such an audit is required. In the event that the
Depositor determines that an audit is required, the accounts of each Trust shall
be audited not less than annually by independent public accountants designated
from time to time by the Depositor and reports of such accountants shall be
furnished by the Trustee, upon request, to Unitholders. The Trustee, however, in
connection with any such audits shall not be obligated to use Trust assets to
pay for such audits in excess of the amounts, if any, indicated in the
Prospectus relating to such Trust. The Trustee shall maintain and provide, upon
the request of a Unitholder or the Depositor, the Unitholders' or the
Unitholder's designated representative with the cost basis of the Securities
represented by the Unitholder's Units.

      (22) The first paragraph of Section 6.04 is replaced in its entirety as
follows:

      Section 6.04. Compensation. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.14
hereof, the Trustee shall receive at the times set forth in Section 3.05, as
compensation for performing ordinary normal recurring services under this
Indenture, an amount calculated at the annual compensation rate stated in the
Prospectus. The Trustee shall charge a pro rated portion of its annual fee at
the times specified in Section 3.05, which pro rated portion shall be calculated
on the basis of the largest number of Units in such Trust at any time during the
primary offering period. After the primary offering period has terminated, the
fee shall accrue daily and be based on the number of Units outstanding on the
first business day of each calendar year in which the fee is calculated or the
number of Units outstanding at the end of the primary offering period, as
appropriate. The Trustee may from time to time adjust its compensation as set
forth above, provided that total adjustment upward does not, at the time of such
adjustment, exceed the percentage of the total increase, after the date hereof,
in consumer prices for services as measured by the United States Department of
Labor Consumer Price Index entitled "All Services Less Rent," or, if such index
shall cease to be published, then as measured by the available index most nearly
comparable to such index. The consent or concurrence of any Unitholder hereunder
shall not be required for any such adjustment or increase, however, the consent
of the Depositor shall be required. Such compensation shall be charged by the
Trustee against the Income and Capital Accounts of each Trust; provided,
however, that such compensation shall be deemed to provide only for the usual,
normal and proper functions undertaken as Trustee pursuant to this Indenture.

      (23) Section 2.03 is hereby amended and replaced in its entirety with the
following:

      Section 2.03. Issuance of Units. By executing the Reference Trust
Agreement and receipt for deposited Securities, the Trustee will thereby
acknowledge receipt of the deposit of the Securities listed in the Schedules to
the Reference Trust Agreement and referred to in Section 2.01 hereof, and
simultaneously with the receipt of said deposit, has recorded on its books the
ownership, by the Depositor or such other person or persons as may be indicated
by the Depositor, of the aggregate number of Units specified in the Reference
Trust Agreement and has delivered, or on the order of the Depositor will
deliver, in exchange for such Securities, cash or a Letter of Credit,
documentation evidencing the ownership of the number of Units specified or, if
requested by the Depositor, the ownership by DTC of all such Units and will
cause such Units to be credited at DTC to the account of the Depositor or,
pursuant to the Depositor's direction and as hereafter provided, the account of
the issuer of the Letter of Credit referred to in Section 2.01. The number of
Units in a Trust may be increased through a split of the Units or decreased
through a reverse split thereof, as directed by the Depositor, on any day on
which the Depositor is the only Unitholder of such Trust, which revised number
of Units shall be recorded by the Trustee on its books. Effective as of the
Evaluation Time on July 27, 2016, in the event that the aggregate value of
Securities in the Trust has increased since the evaluation on July 26, 2016, the
Trustee shall issue such number of additional Units to the Unitholder of
outstanding Units as of the close of business on July 27, 2016, that the price
per Unit computed as of the Evaluation Time on July 27, 2016, plus the maximum
applicable sales charge shall equal approximately $10 per Unit (based on the
number of Units outstanding as of said Evaluation Time, including the additional
Units issued pursuant to this sentence); in the event that the aggregate value
of Securities in the Trust Fund has decreased since the evaluation on July 26,
2016, there will be a reverse split of the outstanding Units, and said
Unitholder will surrender to the Trustee for cancellation such number of Units,
that the price per Unit computed as of the Evaluation Time on July 27, 2016,
plus the maximum applicable sales charge shall equal approximately $10 per Unit
(based on the number of Units outstanding as of said Evaluation Time, reflecting
cancellation of Units pursuant to this sentence). The Trustee hereby agrees that
on the date of any deposit of additional Securities pursuant to Section 2.05 it
shall acknowledge that the additional Securities identified therein have been
deposited with it by recording on its books the ownership, by the Depositor or
such other person or persons as may be indicated by the Depositor, of the
aggregate number of Units to be issued in respect of such additional Securities
so deposited.

      (24) Section 2.01 is hereby amended and replaced in its entirety with the
following:

      Section 2.01. Deposit of Securities. The Depositor, on the date of the
Reference Trust Agreement, has deposited with the Trustee in trust the
Securities and contracts (or cash or a Letter of Credit in the amount necessary
to settle any contracts for the purchase of Securities entered into by the
Trustee pursuant to the instructions of the Depositor) for the purchase of
Contract Securities listed in the Schedules to the Reference Trust Agreement in
bearer form or duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by all necessary
instruments of assignment and transfer in proper form or Contract Securities
relating to such Securities to be held, managed and applied by the Trustee as
herein provided. The Depositor shall deliver the Securities listed on said
Schedules which were not actually delivered concurrently with the execution and
delivery of the Reference Trust Agreement and which were represented by Contract
Securities to the Trustee within 10 calendar days after said execution and
delivery (the "Delivery Period"). In the event that the purchase of Contract
Securities pursuant to any contract shall not be consummated in accordance with
said contract or if the Securities represented by Contract Securities are not
delivered to a Trust in accordance with this Section 2.01 and the moneys, or, if
applicable, the moneys drawn on the Letter of Credit, deposited by the Depositor
are not utilized for Section 3.17 purchases of Replacement Securities, such
funds, to the extent of the purchase price of Failed Contract Securities for
which no Replacement Security were acquired pursuant to Section 3.17, plus all
amounts described in the next succeeding sentence, shall be credited to the
Capital Account and distributed pursuant to Section 3.05 to Unitholders of
record as of the Income Account Record Date next following the failure of
consummation of such purchase. The Depositor shall cause to be refunded to each
Unitholder his pro rata portion of the sales charge levied on the sale of Units
to such Unitholder attributable to such Failed Contract Security. Any amounts
remaining from moneys drawn on the Letter of Credit which are not used to
purchase Replacement Securities or are not used to provide refunds to
Unitholders shall be paid to the Depositor. The Trustee is hereby irrevocably
authorized to effect registration or transfer of the Securities in fully
registered form to the name of the Trustee or to the name of its nominee or to
hold the Securities in a clearing agency registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission or in a book entry system operated by the Federal Reserve
Board.

      (25) Section 3.01 is hereby amended by as follows:

      Section 3.01. Initial Costs. Subject to reimbursement as hereinafter
provided, the cost of organizing a Trust and sale of the Trust Units shall be
borne by the Depositor, provided, however, that the liability on the part of the
Depositor under this Section shall not include any fees or other expenses
incurred in connection with the administration of the Trust subsequent to the
deposit referred to in Section 2.01. Upon notification from the Depositor that
the primary offering period is concluded, or after six months, at the discretion
of the Depositor, the Trustee shall withdraw from the Account or Accounts
specified in the Prospectus or, if no Account is therein specified, from the
Capital Account as further set forth in Section 3.03, and pay to the Depositor
the Depositor's reimbursable expenses of organizing the Trust and sale of the
Trust Units in an amount certified to the Trustee by the Depositor but not in
excess of the estimated per-Unit amount set forth in the Prospectus multiplied
by the number of Units outstanding as of the conclusion of the primary offering
period. If the cash balance of the Capital Account is insufficient to make such
withdrawal, the Trustee shall, as directed by the Depositor, sell Securities
identified by the Depositor, or distribute to the Depositor Securities having a
value, as determined under Section 4.01 as of the date of distribution,
sufficient for such reimbursement. Securities sold or distributed to the
Depositor to reimburse the Depositor pursuant to this Section shall be sold or
distributed by the Trustee to the extent practicable, in the percentage ratio
then existing (unless the Trust elects to be treated as a "regulated investment
company" as defined in the United States Internal Revenue Code (the "Internal
Revenue Code"), in which case sales or distributions by the Trustee shall be
made in accordance with the instructions of the Depositor or its designees). The
reimbursement provided for in this Section shall be for the account of the
Unitholders of record at the conclusion of the primary offering period. Any
assets deposited with the Trustee in respect of the expenses reimbursable under
this Section shall be held and administered as assets of the Trust for all
purposes hereunder. The Depositor shall deliver to the Trustee any cash
identified in the Statement of Financial Condition of the Trust included in the
Prospectus not later than the First Settlement Date and the Depositor's
obligation to make such delivery shall be secured by the Letter of Credit
deposited pursuant to Section 2.01. Any cash which the Depositor has identified
as to be used for reimbursement of expenses pursuant to this Section shall be
held by the Trustee, without interest, and reserved for such purpose and,
accordingly, prior to the conclusion of the primary offering period, shall not
be subject to distribution or, unless the Depositor otherwise directs, used for
payment of redemptions in excess of the per-Unit amount payable pursuant to the
next sentence. If a Unitholder redeems Units prior to the conclusion of the
primary offering period, the Trustee shall pay to the Unitholder, in addition to
the Redemption Price of the tendered Units, an amount equal to the estimated
per-Unit cost of organizing the Trust and the sale of Trust Units set forth in
the Prospectus multiplied by the number of Units tendered for redemption; to the
extent the cash on hand in the Trust is insufficient for such payment, the
Trustee shall have the power to sell Securities in accordance with Section 5.02.
As used herein, the Depositor's reimbursable expenses of organizing the Trust
and sale of the Trust Units shall include the cost of the initial preparation
and typesetting of the registration statement, prospectuses (including
preliminary prospectuses), the indenture, and other documents relating to the
Trust, Securities and Exchange Commission and state blue sky registration fees,
the cost of the initial valuation of the portfolio and audit of the Trust, the
costs of a portfolio consultant, if any, the initial fees and expenses of the
Trustee, and legal and other out-of-pocket expenses related thereto but not
including the expenses incurred in the printing of preliminary prospectuses and
prospectuses, expenses incurred in the preparation and printing of brochures and
other advertising materials and any other selling expenses.

      (26) Section 9.01(a)(iii) is hereby amended as follows:

      (a)(iii) to make such other provision regarding matters or questions
arising hereunder as shall not materially adversely affect the interests of the
Unitholders; provided, however, that in no event may any amendment be made which
would adversely affect the status of a Trust for federal income tax purposes.

      (27) Section 3.05 is hereby amended by adding the following as subsection
(b)(vi):

      (b)(vi) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall not be required
to make a distribution from the Income Account or the Capital Account unless the
aggregate cash available for distribution within the meaning of Treas. Reg.
Section 1.671-5(b)(5) from the Income Account and the Capital Account is equal
to or greater than .1% of the net asset value of the Trust on the related Record
Date, provided, however, that the Trustee shall in any event distribute the
balance of the Income Account and Capital Account on the Distribution Date
occurring in December of each year (including in such distribution income
receivable by the Trust on or prior to the December Distribution Date). This
provision is intended to comply with Treas. Reg. Section 1.671-5(c)(2)(v)(C),
and shall be interpreted consistent therewith and with any successor regulation.

      (28) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no In Kind Distribution requests made
pursuant to Section 5.02 and submitted during the 30 business days prior to the
Trust's Mandatory Termination Date will be honored. In addition, no unitholder
will be eligible for an In Kind Distribution of securities pursuant to Section
9.02. Furthermore, the availability of In Kind Distributions may be modified or
discontinued as described in the Prospectus.

      (29) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Standard Terms and
Conditions of the Trust, Section 3.07 shall be amended to add the following
immediately after Section 3.07(a)(ix):

      (x) that as a result of the ownership of a Security, the Trust or its
Unitholders would be a direct or indirect shareholder of a passive foreign
investment company as defined in section 1297(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.

      (xi) that such sale is desirable because a Security is determined to be
taxed as a partnership for U.S. Federal tax purposes.

      (xii) that such sale is necessary for the Trust to comply with such
federal and/or state securities laws, regulations and/or regulatory actions and
interpretations which may be in effect from time to time.

      (30) All references to The Bank of New York in the Standard Terms and
Conditions of the Trust shall be replaced with "The Bank of New York Mellon."

      (31) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Standard Terms and
Conditions of Trust, the eighth paragraph of Section 5.02 shall be amended to
read in its entirety as follows:

      For the purpose of funding the Capital Account for payment of the
Redemption Value with respect to each tender of a Unit or Units for redemption,
the Depositor may direct the Trustee to sell and, in the absence of contrary
direction from the Depositor, the Trustee may sell, the pro rata amount of each
Security allocable to the tendered Units as soon as reasonably practicable
following such tender. In determining such pro rata amount, the Trustee may
apply the calendar month aggregation method provided in Treas. Reg. Section
1.671-5(c)(2)(iv)(G)(3)(i). If the proceeds of such pro rata sales are
insufficient, the Trustee may (i) sell additional Securities as directed by the
Supervisor or, in the absence of direction, sell Securities in amounts which are
reasonably pro rata as determined by the Trustee or (ii) advance funds required
to pay the Redemption Value, provided that the Trustee shall have no obligation
to advance funds if the unreimbursed amount advanced to the Trust for this
purpose then equals at least $15,000. When directed by the Depositor or
determined by the Trustee, but in all events as promptly as reasonably
practicable whenever the unreimbursed amount advanced by the Trustee equals or
exceeds $15,000, the Trustee shall sell additional Securities in the manner
provided in clause (i) of the preceding sentence and shall reimburse itself the
amount of the advance, provided that the Trustee's right to reimbursement shall
not be affected by any delay in sale or reimbursement. The Trustee's right to
reimbursement shall be secured by a lien on the Trust prior to the interest of
the Unitholders. The net proceeds of any sale of Securities representing income
shall be credited to the Income Account and then disbursed therefrom for payment
of expenses and payments to Unitholders as otherwise provided in this Indenture.
The balance of such net proceeds shall be credited to the Capital Account. The
Depositor and the Trustee shall use their reasonable efforts to conduct pro rata
sales of Securities qualifying for exception from tax reporting as described in
Treas. Reg. Section 1.671-5(c)(2)(iv)(G) and, during the final calendar year of
the Trust, qualifying for the exception from tax reporting described in Treas.
Reg. Section 1.671-5(c)(2)(iv)(F). Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the
Trustee nor the Depositor shall be liable to any person in the event sales
proceeds for any calendar year exceed the general de minimis test of Treas. Reg.
Section 1.671-5(c)(2)(iv)(D)(1) (whether or not due to a failure to sell
Securities pro rata) or otherwise require reporting under Treas. Reg. Section
1.671-5.

      (32) Section 6.02 is hereby amended by adding the following paragraph:

      With respect to any Trust which is a widely held fixed investment trust as
defined in Treas. Reg. Section 1.671-5(b)(22), the Depositor and the Trustee
agree that the Trust meets the requirements of Treas. Reg. Section
1.671-5(f)(1)(i), and the Trustee is authorized: (i) to report in accordance
with any of the safe harbor methods described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.671-5(f);
(ii) to report sales proceeds, whenever permitted, as provided in Treas. Reg.
Section 1.671-5(f)(1)(iv)(B); (iii) to report proceeds of sales and dispositions
described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.671-5(c)(2)(iv)(D)(4)(ii) as provided in
Treas. Reg. Section 1.671-5(c)(2)(iv)(D)(4)(i); (iv) if so directed by the
Depositor, to use the measuring date, as defined in Treas. Reg. Section
1.671-5(c)(2)(iv)(D)(1), in lieu of the start-up date; and (v) to use any method
permitted by the Treasury for the purpose of determining the net asset value of
the Trust pursuant to Treas. Reg. Section 1.671-5(c)(2)(D)(1), if directed to do
so by the Depositor. For purposes of Treas. Reg. Section
1.671-5(f)(1)(iv)(A)(2), the date of the last deposit under 2.01(b) prior to the
expiration of the initial offering period, as certified to the Trustee by the
Depositor, shall be considered the 'start-up date' of the Trust.

      (33) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Standard Terms and
Conditions of the Trust, Section 3.19 is hereby amended by adding the following
paragraph:

      In limited circumstances and only if deemed in the best interests of the
Unitholders, the Depositor is authorized to instruct the Trustee to change the
dates on which the deferred sales charge is deducted as described in the
Prospectus. The deferred sales charge payment dates may be delayed: (i) in order
for a Trust which is a widely held fixed investment trust as defined in Treas.
Reg. Section 1.671-5(b)(22) to report in accordance with any of the safe harbor
methods described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.671-5(f); or (ii) in order for a
Trust which is a regulated investment company as defined by the Internal Revenue
Code to maintain its qualification as a regulated investment company. The
Trustee shall have no liability for any tax or other liability incurred by
reason of action or inaction resulting from such direction. The Depositor will
amend the Prospectus to include the new dates on which the deferred sales charge
will be collected and distributing such notice to Unitholders.

      (34) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Standard Terms and
Conditions of Trust, Section 3.19 shall be amended by adding the following
sentences at the end thereof:

      "To the extent permitted by applicable law and regulatory authorization,
unpaid portions of the deferred sales charge shall be secured by a lien on the
Trust in favor of the Depositor, provided that such lien shall be subordinate to
the lien of the Trustee granted by Section 6.04 of the Standard Terms and
Conditions of Trust. To the extent of such lien, the Trustee shall hold the
assets of the Trust for the benefit of the Depositor, provided that the Trustee
is authorized to make dispositions, distributions and payments for expenses in
the ordinary course of the administration of the Trust without regard to such
lien."

      (35) All reference to Claymore Securities, Inc. in the Standard Terms and
Conditions of Trust shall be replaced with "Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC"

      (36) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Standard Terms and
Conditions of the Trust, the first paragraph of Section 9.02 is hereby amended
and restated to read as follows:

      This Indenture and each Trust created hereby shall terminate upon the
maturity, redemption, sale or other disposition as the case may be of the last
Security held in such Trust hereunder unless sooner terminated as hereinbefore
specified, and may be terminated (i) at any time by the written consent of
Unitholders representing at least 66-2/3% of the Units then outstanding or (ii)
if stated in the Prospectus, if the per unit net asset value reaches or exceeds
15% above its initial net asset value as calculated on the date of deposit, net
of the upfront sales charge and other related investment expenses; provided that
in no event shall any Trust continue beyond the Mandatory Termination Date. If
the value of a Trust shall be less than the applicable minimum value stated in
the prospectus (generally 20% of the total value of securities deposited in the
Trust during the initial offering period), the Trustee may in its discretion,
and shall, when so directed by the Depositor, terminate the Trust. Upon the date
of termination the registration books of the Trustee shall be closed.

      (37) Section 3.05(b)(ii) is hereby amended and replaced in its entirety
with the following:

      For the purposes of this Section 3.05, the term "Income Distribution"
shall be calculated as set forth in subparagraph (A), below, unless the
Prospectus provides for the averaging of income distributions, in which case,
"Income Distribution" shall be shall be calculated as set forth in subparagraph
(B), below. Accordingly, the Unitholder's "Income Distribution" shall be equal
to:

      (A) such Unitholder's pro rata share of the cash balance (other than any
amortized discount) in the Income Account computed as of the close of business
on the Income Account Record Date immediately preceding such Income Distribution
after deduction of (1) the fees and expenses then deductible pursuant to Section
3.05(a) and (2) the Trustee's estimate of other expenses properly chargeable to
the Income Account pursuant to the Indenture which have accrued, as of such
Income Account Record Date or are otherwise properly attributable to the period
to which such Income Distribution relates; or

      (B) such Unitholder's pro rata share of the balance in the Income Account
calculated on the basis of a fraction (the numerator of which is one and the
denominator of which is the total number of Distribution Dates per year) of the
estimated annual income to the Trust for the ensuing twelve months computed as
of the close of business on the Record Date immediately preceding such Income
Distribution after deduction of (1) the fees and expenses then deductible
pursuant to Section 3.05(a) and (2) the Trustee's estimate of other expenses
properly chargeable to the Income Account pursuant to the Indenture which have
accrued, as of such Record Date or are otherwise properly attributable to the
period to which such Income Distribution relates.

      In the event that the amount on deposit in the Income Account is not
sufficient for the payment of the amount intended to be distributed to
Unitholders on the basis of the aforesaid computation in paragraph (B), the
Trustee is authorized to advance its own funds and cause to be deposited in and
credited to the Income Account such amounts as may be required to permit payment
of the related distribution to be made as aforesaid and shall be entitled to be
reimbursed, without interest, out of income payments received by the Trust
subsequent to the date of such advance. Any such advance shall be reflected in
the Income Account until repaid.

      This Reference Trust Agreement shall be deemed effective when executed and
delivered by the Sponsor and the Trustee.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Reference Trust
Agreement to be duly executed.

                 Re: Guggenheim Defined Portfolios, Series 1489
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

      We have served as counsel to Guggenheim Defined Portfolios, Series 1489
(hereinafter referred to as the "Fund"), in connection with the issuance, under
the Reference Trust Agreement dated the date hereof between Guggenheim Funds
Distributors, LLC, as Depositor, and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee, of
Units of fractional undivided interest in the one or more Trusts of said Fund
(hereinafter referred to as the "Units").

      In connection therewith, we have examined such pertinent records and
documents and matters of law as we have deemed necessary in order to enable us
to express the opinions hereinafter set forth. We have assumed the genuineness
of all agreements, instruments and documents submitted to us as originals and
the conformity to originals of all copies thereof submitted to us. We have also
assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the legal capacity of all persons
executing agreements, instruments and documents examined or relied upon by us.

      We have not reviewed the financial statements, compilation of the
securities to be acquired by the Fund, or other financial or statistical data
contained in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, as to which we
understand you have been furnished with the reports of the accountants appearing
in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. In addition, we have made no
specific inquiry as to whether any stop order or investigatory proceedings have
been commenced with respect to the Registration Statement or the Depositor nor
have we reviewed court or governmental agency dockets.

      Statements in this opinion as to the validity, binding effect and
enforceability of agreements, instruments and documents are subject: (i) to
limitations as to enforceability imposed by bankruptcy, reorganization,
moratorium, insolvency and other laws of general application relating to or
affecting the enforceability of creditors' rights, and (ii) to limitations under
equitable principles governing the availability of equitable remedies.

      The opinions expressed herein are limited to the laws of the State of New
York. No opinion is expressed as to the effect that the law of any other
jurisdiction might have upon the subject matter of the opinions expressed herein
under applicable conflicts of law principles, rules or regulations or otherwise.
Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

      1. The Reference Trust Agreement has been duly authorized and executed and
delivered by an authorized officer of the Depositor and is a valid and binding
obligation of the Depositor in accordance with its terms.

      2. The establishment of book entry positions evidencing the Units in the
Trust(s) of the Fund have been duly authorized by the Depositor. Upon payment of
the consideration for the Units as provided in the Reference Trust Agreement and
the Registration Statement, the Units will be, when sold, validly issued and
purchasers of the Units will not have any obligation to make payments to the
Fund or its creditors (other than the purchase price for the Units) or
contributions to the Fund or its creditors solely by reason of the purchasers'
ownership of the Units.

      We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement (File No. 333-211455) relating to the Units referred to
above and to the use of our name and to the reference to our firm in said
Registration Statement and in the related Prospectus. This opinion is intended
solely for the benefit of the addressee in connection with the issuance of the
Units of the Fund and may not be relied upon in any other manner or by any other
person without our express written consent.

                                                         Respectfully submitted,

                        Health Care Portfolio, Series 21
                         Utilities Portfolio, Series 24
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ladies/Gentlemen:

      We have acted as counsel for Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC, depositor
of Guggenheim Defined Portfolios, Series 1489 (the "Fund"), in connection with
the issuance of units of fractional undivided interest in the Fund (the
"Units"), under a trust agreement dated July 27, 2016 (the "Indenture") among
Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC, as sponsor (the "Sponsor"), as depositor
(the "Depositor") and evaluator (the "Evaluator"), and The Bank of New York
Mellon, as trustee (the "Trustee"). The Fund is comprised of the following unit
investment trusts: Health Care Portfolio, Series 21 and Utilities Portfolio,
Series 24 (the "Trusts"). This opinion applies only to the Trusts. Holders of
beneficial interests in a Trust are referred to herein as the "Unitholders."

      In this connection, we have examined the registration statement and the
prospectus for the Fund (the "Prospectus"), the Indenture, and such other
instruments and documents, as we have deemed pertinent (the "Transaction
Documents"). For purposes of this opinion, we are assuming that the Trusts will
at all times be operated in accordance with the Indenture and the Prospectus and
that the parties to the Indenture will at all times fully comply with the terms
of the Indenture. Failure to operate the Trusts at all times in accordance with
the Indenture and the Prospectus or failure to comply fully at all times with
the terms of the Indenture could result in tax treatment different from that
described below.

      You have informed us, and we are assuming, that the assets of the Trusts
will consist of portfolios as set forth in the Prospectus. All of the assets of
the Trusts constitute the "Trusts Assets." You have not requested us to examine,
and accordingly we have not examined, any of the Trusts Assets and express no
opinion as to the Federal or state income tax treatment thereof.

      The Transaction Documents include certain representations by the Depositor
and the Trustee with respect to which we have no independent knowledge and have
done no independent investigation. Such representations include, without
limitation, that: (i) the Trusts will acquire and hold the Trusts Assets solely
for the account of the Unitholders; (ii) the activities of the Trusts will
consist of the investment of funds in the Trusts Assets, the collection of the
income and proceeds from such investments, and the incidental replacement of
Trusts Assets and temporary reinvestment of proceeds under limited and specified
circumstances; and (iii) the Trusts have not and will not (a) establish an
office, (b) hire employees, or (c) conduct any acts not permitted by the
Indenture.

      Based upon the foregoing and assuming the accuracy of the aforementioned
representations and assumptions on the date hereof as well as continuing
satisfaction of such representations and assumptions, and based upon an
investigation of such matters of law as we consider to be applicable:

      (i) We are of the opinion that, under existing United States Federal
income tax law, the Trusts are not associations taxable as corporations for
Federal income tax purposes but will be classified as grantor trusts and will be
governed by the provisions of subpart E of Part I of subchapter J (relating to
trusts) of chapter 1, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code").

      (ii) Section 671 of the Code provides that, where a trust grantor is
treated as the owner of any portion of a trust, there shall then be included in
computing the taxable income and credits of the grantor those items of income,
deductions and credits against tax of the trust which are attributable to that
portion of the trust to the extent that such items would be taken into account
under the Code in computing taxable income or credits against the tax of an
individual. Each Unitholder is treated as the owner of a pro rata portion of the
Trusts under Section 676 of the Code. Therefore, a Unitholder will be considered
as owning a pro rata share of each of the Trusts Assets in the proportion that
the number of Units held by him or her bears to the total number of Units
outstanding. We are of the opinion that, under existing United States Federal
income tax law, (a) under subpart E, subchapter J of chapter 1 of the Code,
income of the Trusts will be treated as income of each Unitholder in the
proportion described above, and an item of Trust income will have the same
character in the hands of a Unitholder as it would have if the Unitholder
directly owned a pro rata portion of the Trusts Assets and (b) each Unitholder
will be considered to have received his or her pro rata share of income derived
from each Trust Asset when such income would be considered to be received by the
Unitholder if the Unitholder directly owned a pro rata portion of the Trusts
Assets.

      (iii) Although the discussion in the Prospectus under the heading "Taxes"
does not purport to discuss all possible United States Federal income tax
consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of Units, in our
opinion, under existing United States Federal income tax law, such discussion,
taken as a whole, is an accurate summary in all material respects, to the extent
that the discussion constitutes statements of law or legal conclusions with
respect to United States Federal income tax matters. In this regard, please note
that (a) we have not examined any of the Trusts Assets and we are therefore
unable to express an opinion, and we express no opinion as to the Federal income
tax treatment thereof and (b) the discussion under "Taxes" depends in part on
the facts peculiar to individual Unitholders of which we have made no
investigation and have no knowledge.

      (iv) Based solely upon the existing laws of the State of New York and The
City of New York, administrative interpretations thereof and court decisions as
of the date hereof, we are of the opinion that (a) the Trusts will not be
subject to the New York State franchise tax imposed on domestic and foreign
corporations by Article 9-A of the New York State Tax Law; (b) the Trusts will
not have taxable income subject to the New York State personal income tax
imposed by Article 22 of the New York State Tax Law; (c) the Trusts will not be
subject to the unincorporated business tax imposed by Section 11-503 of the
Administrative Code of The City of New York (the "Administrative Code"); (d) the
Trusts will not be subject to the general corporation tax imposed by The City of
New York on domestic and foreign corporations under Section 11-603 or 11-653 of
the Administrative Code; and (e) the Trusts will not have taxable income subject
to the personal income tax imposed by The City of New York under Section 11-1701
of the Administrative Code.

      Our opinion is based on the Code, the New York State Tax Law, the
Administrative Code, the regulations promulgated thereunder and other relevant
authorities and law, all as in effect on the date hereof. Consequently, future
changes in such laws, the regulations promulgated thereunder and other relevant
authorities and law may cause the tax treatment of the transaction to be
materially different from that described above. This opinion is given as of the
date hereof, and we undertake no, and hereby disclaim any, obligation to advise
you of any change in any matter set forth herein. Our opinion represents only
our legal judgment, is not a guarantee of a result and, unlike a tax ruling, is
binding neither on the Internal Revenue Service, the New York state or city
taxing authorities nor a court of law, and has no official status of any kind.
The Internal Revenue Service, the New York state or city taxing authorities or a
court of law could disagree with the opinion expressed herein. Although we
believe that, in a properly presented case, the opinion expressed herein would
be found to be correct if challenged, there can be no assurance that this will
be the case. In evaluating these tax issues, we have not taken into account the
possibility that a tax return will not be audited, that an issue will not be
raised on audit, or that an issue will be resolved through settlement if raised.

      This opinion, as qualified herein, covers only the opinions expressly
contained herein, and we express no opinion with respect to any other
considerations which may arise relating to the transaction, any other taxes or
any other matters arising under United States Federal, state, local or foreign
law.

      The Committee on Legal Opinions of the American Bar Association
promulgated the "Third-Party Legal Opinion Report, Including the Legal Opinion
Accord," (the "ABA Guidelines") in 1991. Among other things the ABA Guidelines
provide that attorneys should not provide legal opinions as to matters of fact
or financial or economic forecasts (or similar predictions). In this regard,
matters discussed expressly or implicitly within this letter which are
determined to be matters of fact or financial or economic forecasts (or similar
predictions) should be interpreted to be a confirmation of our understanding and
a statement of our belief rather than a legal opinion, regardless of the
language used.

      Chapman and Cutler LLP does not and will not impose any limitation on the
disclosure of tax treatment or tax structure of any transaction relating to this
matter.

Guggenheim Defined Portfolios, Series 1489
HEALTH CARE PORTFOLIO, SERIES 21
UTILITIES PORTFOLIO, SERIES 24
2 Hanson Place
Brooklyn, New York  11217


Ladies and Gentlemen:

      We are acting as your counsel in connection with the execution and
delivery by you of a certain Reference Trust Agreement (the "Trust Agreement"),
dated as of today's date between Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC, as
Depositor (the "Depositor"), and you, as Trustee, establishing Guggenheim
Defined Portfolios, Series 1489; (I) HEALTH CARE PORTFOLIO, SERIES 21; AND (II)
UTILITIES PORTFOLIO, SERIES 24 (the "Trusts"), and the execution by you, as
Trustee under the Trust Agreement, of receipts for units evidencing ownership of
all of the units of fractional undivided interest (such receipts for units and
such aggregate units being herein respectively called "Receipts for Units" and
"Units") in the Trusts, as set forth in the prospectus (the "Prospectus"),
included in the registration statement on Form S-6, as amended to the date
hereof (the "Registration Statement"), relating to the Trusts. The Trusts
consist of equity and/or debt securities (the "Securities") (including delivery
statements relating to contracts for the purchase of certain Securities not yet
delivered and cash, cash equivalents or an irrevocable letter or letters of
credit, or a combination thereof, in the amount required to pay for such
purchases upon the receipt of such Securities) as listed under "Portfolio" in
the Prospectus (such Securities, delivery statements and cash, cash equivalents,
letter or letters of credit being herein called the "Portfolio Assets").

      We have examined the Trust Agreement, and originals (or copies certified
or otherwise identified to our satisfaction) of such other instruments,
certificates and documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the
purpose of rendering this opinion. In such examination, we have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us
as originals and the conformity to the original documents of all documents
submitted to us as copies. As to any facts material to our opinion, we have,
when relevant facts were not independently established, relied upon the
aforesaid instruments, certificates and documents.

      Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

      1. The Bank of New York Mellon is a corporation organized under the laws
of the State of New York with the powers of a trust company under the Banking
Law of the State of New York.

      2. The Trust Agreement is in proper form for execution and delivery by
you, as Trustee, and each has been duly executed and delivered by you, as
Trustee, and assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the
Depositor, the Trust Agreement is a valid and legally binding obligation of The
Bank of New York Mellon.

      3. The Receipts for Units are in proper form for execution by you, as
Trustee, and have been duly executed by you, as Trustee, and pursuant to the
Depositor's instructions, the Trustee has registered on the registration books
of the Trusts the ownership of the Units by Cede & Co., as nominee of The
Depository Trust Company where it has caused the Units to be credited to the
account of the Depositor.

      In rendering the foregoing opinion we have not considered, among other
things, the merchantability of the Portfolio Assets, whether the Portfolio
Assets have been duly authorized and delivered or the tax status of the
Portfolio Assets under any federal, state or local laws.

      The foregoing opinions are limited to the laws of the State of New York
and the federal laws of the United States of America. This opinion is for your
benefit and may not be disclosed to or relied upon by any other person without
our prior written consent.

      We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as an exhibit to
the Registration Statement relating to the Units and to the use of our name and
the reference to our firm in the Registration Statement and in the Prospectus.


                                                               Very truly yours,

                                                        /s/ DORSEY & WHITNEY LLP
