Claymore Exchange-Traded Fund Trust 2
Dear Shareholder
As Investment Adviser, Claymore Advisors, LLC (Claymore) is delighted to present the semi-annual
shareholder report for seven of our recently launched exchange-traded funds (ETFs or Funds). This report covers performance of these Funds from their inception through November 30, 2007.
Two of these ETFs commenced operations June 27, 2007. They are:
|
|
|
Claymore/Clear Global Exchanges, Brokers & Asset Managers Index ETF (ticker: EXB)
|
|
|
|
Claymore/Clear Global Vaccine Index ETF (ticker: JNR)
|
One ETF commenced operations July 3, 2007. It is:
|
|
|
Claymore/SWM Canadian Energy Income Index ETF (ticker: ENY)
|
Two ETFs commenced operations July 11, 2007. They are:
|
|
|
Claymore/Zacks Country Rotation ETF (ticker: CRO)
|
|
|
|
Claymore/Zacks International Yield Hog ETF (ticker: HGI)
|
One ETF commenced operations July 30, 2007. It is:
|
|
|
Claymore/Robb Report Global Luxury Index ETF (ticker: ROB)
|
One ETF commenced operations November 9, 2007. It is:
|
|
|
Claymore/Clear Global Timber Index ETF (ticker: CUT)
|
The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before each Funds fees and expenses, of its respective underlying index as named in its
prospectus.
Claymore is committed to providing investors with innovative index-strategy-driven investment solutions. Accordingly, including these seven
global-themed ETFs, since entering the exchange-traded fund business in September 2006 through November 2007, we have launched 35 U.S.-listed ETFs, and more are planned in the coming months.
Claymore has partnered with a diverse group of index providers to create some of the most distinctive ETFs currently available. The index providers design indices using
defined selection methodologies in the creation of their indices. Unlike ETFs that track traditional indices representing broad market participation, the indices that many of Claymores U.S.-listed ETFs track seek to capture the investment
potential of unique strategies. We believe that a strategy-driven, quantitative process provides a disciplined investment approach offering the potential for superior performance over market cycles.
To learn more about the performance of each ETF, we encourage you to read the
Management Discussion of Fund Performance
section of the report, which begins on
page 4.

EXB
| Claymore/Clear Global Exchanges, Brokers & Asset
Managers Index ETF
The Claymore/Clear Global Exchanges, Brokers & Asset Managers Index ETF
(the Fund) seeks investment results
that correspond generally to the performance, before the Funds fees and expenses, of an index called the Clear Global Exchanges, Brokers & Asset Managers Index (the Clear EB&A Index or Index). The Fund will
normally invest at least 90% of its total assets in equity securities, American depositary receipts (ADRs) and global depositary receipts (GDRs) that comprise the Index. Claymore Advisors, LLC (the Investment
Adviser) seeks a correlation over time of .95 or better between the Funds performance and the performance of the Index. A figure of 1.00 would represent perfect correlation.
The Fund, using a low cost passive or indexing investment approach, will seek to replicate, before expenses, the performance of the Clear EB&A Index. The Index is comprised of approximately
100 equity securities traded on global exchanges, as well as ADRs and GDRs of companies that operate a security exchange or brokerage/asset management firm as a primary business. The companies in the Index are intended to be representative of the
highest ranking stocks in the global universe of companies engaged in these businesses as determined through independent research provided by Clear Indexes LLC (Clear or the Index Provider). The Index may include
large-capitalization, mid-capitalization and small-capitalization companies as defined by Clear. The Fund generally will invest in all of the stocks comprising the Index in proportion to their weightings in the Index.
Fund Performance
This report discusses an abbreviated semi-annual
fiscal period from the Funds inception date of June 27, 2007, through November 30, 2007.
On a market price basis, the Fund generated a
total return of 9.41%, representing a change in market price to $26.87 on November 30, 2007, from $24.56 at inception. On a net asset value (NAV) basis, the Fund generated a total return of 9.24%, representing a change in NAV to
$26.83 on November 30, 2007, from $24.56 at inception. At the end of the period the Funds shares were trading at a market price premium to NAV, which is to be expected from time to time. However, the Investment Adviser believes that large
discounts or premiums to the NAV of the shares should not be sustained.
For index and broad market comparison purposes, the Index returned 9.81% and the
MSCI World Index returned 2.36% for the same period. The MSCI World Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that measures global developed market equity performance of the developed market country indices of Europe, Australasia,
the Far East, the U.S. and Canada. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
Economic and Market Overview
The period from the Funds inception date of June 27, 2007, through November 30, 2007, was a difficult environment for investors in both equity and fixed
income, as concerns have mounted about the widening impact of the sub-prime mortgage crisis on the markets and the economy as a whole. Equity markets were highly volatile, with no pronounced trend that defines the entire period. In the fixed income
market, spreads between credits of the highest quality and riskier instruments have widened dramatically, as investors have become increasingly intolerant of risk.
Most international equity markets were stronger than the U.S. market, with particular strength in Asian markets other than Japan. Most world economies continued to expand during 2007, despite a variety of concerns. In the U.S., consumer
spending has held up reasonably well, and labor market trends remain fairly positive. Business investment and corporate earnings continued to grow. Expansion in net exports, supported by economic growth abroad and the weak dollar, contributed to
growth in the U.S., cushioning the impact of the housing correction. Beginning in September, the Fed reduced interest rates three times, striving to strike a balance between providing needed support for financial markets and keeping inflation at a
moderate level.
Performance Attribution
Since
essentially all of the Funds investments are in the financial sector, performance is driven mainly by the returns of sub-sectors of the financial sector and by individual positions. Major contributors to return were investment services firms,
including Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing Ltd. and Deutsche Boerse AG (7.7% and 7.7% of total investments, respectively). Detractors from performance included asset managers such as Legg Mason Inc. and Franklin Resources Inc. (2.3% and 4.5%
of total investments, respectively).

CUT
| Claymore/Clear Global Timber Index ETF
The Claymore/Clear Global Timber Index ETF
(the Fund) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before the Funds fees and expenses, of an equity index called the
Clear Global Timber Index (the Index). The Fund will normally invest at least 90% of its total assets in common stock, American depositary receipts (ADRs) and global depositary receipts (GDRs) that comprise the
Index. Claymore Advisors, LLC (the Investment Adviser) seeks a correlation over time of .95 or better between the Funds performance and the performance of the Index. A figure of 1.00 would represent perfect correlation.
The Fund, using a low cost passive or indexing investment approach, will seek to replicate, before expenses, the performance of the Clear
Global Timber Index. All stocks in the Index are selected from the universe of global timber companies. Clear Indexes LLC (Clear or the Index Provider) defines global timber companies as firms who own or lease forested land
and harvest the timber from such forested land for commercial use and sale of wood-based products, including lumber, pulp or other processed or finished goods such as paper and packaging. Potential Index constituents include securities with market
capitalizations greater than $300 million, which includes securities of all market capitalizations as determined by Clear. The Fund generally will invest in all of the stocks comprising the Index in proportion to their weightings in the Index.
Fund Performance
This report discusses an abbreviated
semi-annual fiscal period from the Funds inception date of November 9, 2007, through November 30, 2007.
On a market price basis, the Fund
generated a total return of -0.44%, representing a change in market price to $24.80 on November 30, 2007, from $24.91 at inception. On a net asset value (NAV) basis, the Fund generated a total return of -1.52%, representing a change
in NAV to $24.53 on November 30, 2007, from $24.91 at inception. At the end of the period the Funds shares were trading at a market price premium to NAV, which is to be expected from time to time. However, the Investment Adviser believes
that large discounts or premiums to the NAV of the shares should not be sustained.
For index and broad market comparison purposes, the Index returned
-1.42% and the MSCI World Index returned -0.45% for the same period. The MSCI World Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that measures global developed market equity performance of the developed market country indices of
Europe, Australasia, the Far East, the U.S. and Canada. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
Economic and Market Overview
During the brief period from the funds inception date of November 9, 2007, through November 30, 2007, returns of most major U.S. equity indices were
marginally positive. Large-cap stocks generally performed better than small-cap, as investors have demonstrated a preference for securities perceived as less risky. Most international equity markets were stronger than the U.S. market, with
particular strength in Asian markets other than Japan.
Economic reports during the period were mixed. While most world economies continued to expand, the
U.S. economy struggled to cope with a slump in the housing market and a broadly-based tightening of credit conditions. Expansion in net exports, supported by economic growth abroad and the weak dollar, contributed to growth in the U.S., cushioning
the impact of the housing correction. The Fed has begun to reduce interest rates, striving to strike a balance between providing needed support for financial markets and keeping inflation at a moderate level.
Performance Attribution
Since the Funds investments are
concentrated in the timber industry, performance is driven mainly by individual positions in this industry. The strongest gains in the Funds first few weeks of operation were in two Brazilian companies, Votorantim Celulose e Papel SA, which
produces a variety of pulp and paper products, and Aracruz Celulose SA, a producer of bleached hardwood kraft market pulp (5.4% and 4.9% of total investments, respectively). Detractors from performance include Sino-Forest Corporation, a Chinese
commercial forestry plantation operator, and China Grand Forestry Resources Group Ltd., a Hong Kong company in the ecological forestry business (4.6% and 2.2% of total investments, respectively).

| Claymore/Clear Global Vaccine Index ETF
The Claymore/Clear Global Vaccine Index ETF
(the Fund) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before the Funds fees and expenses, of an equity index called the
Clear Global Vaccine Index (the Index). The Fund will normally invest at least 90% of its total assets in equity securities, American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs) that comprise
the Index. Claymore Advisors, LLC (the Investment Adviser) seeks a correlation over time of .95 or better between the Funds performance and the performance of the Index. A figure of 1.00 would represent perfect correlation.
The Fund, using a low cost passive or indexing investment approach, will seek to replicate, before expenses, the performance of
the Clear Global Vaccine Index. The companies in the Index are intended to be representative of the global universe of companies that research, develop, manufacture, license and/or market vaccines, as determined through independent research provided
by Clear Indexes LLC (Clear or the Index Provider). The Index is generally comprised of approximately 40 securities traded on developed market exchanges as well as ADRs and GDRs. Clear generally defines developed market as
the capital markets of those countries with high levels of per capita income and strict market regulation resulting in greater transparency. Specifically, all or any subset of the following countries/regions are currently considered to be developed
markets Austria, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom and the U.S. The Index may
include large capitalization, mid-capitalization or small-capitalization companies as defined by Clear. The Fund generally will invest in all of the stocks comprising the Index in proportion to their weightings in the Index.
Fund Performance
This report discusses an abbreviated semi-annual
fiscal period from the Funds inception date of June 27, 2007, through November 30, 2007.
On a market price basis, the Fund generated a
total return of 0.04%, representing a change in market price to $24.97 as of November 30, 2007, from $24.96 at inception. On a net asset value (NAV) basis, the Fund generated a total return of -0.60%, representing a change in NAV to
$24.81 on November 30, 2007, from $24.96 at inception. At the end of the period the Funds shares were trading at a market price premium to NAV, which is to be expected from time to time. However, the Investment Adviser believes that large
discounts or premiums to the NAV of the shares should not be sustained.
For index and broad market comparison purposes, the Index returned -0.01% and the
MSCI World Index returned 2.36% for the same period. The MSCI World Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that measures global developed market equity performance of the developed market country indices of Europe, Australasia,
the Far East, the U.S. and Canada. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Performance Attribution
Since the
majority of the Funds investments are in the health care sector, performance is driven largely by returns of positions within this sector. Major contributors to return were large pharmaceutical firms including U.S. industry leaders
Merck & Co., Inc. and Johnson & Johnson, and Sanofi-Aventis SA, a French company (5.4%, 5.0% and 5.2% of total investments, respectively). Most of the positions that detracted from performance were in the biotechnology area. These
include Pharmexa A/S, a Danish company engaged in the field of immunotherapy and vaccines for the treatment of cancer and serious chronic and infectious diseases; Cytos Biotechnology AG, a Swiss firm that develops immunodrugs for treatment and
prevention of chronic diseases; Avant Immunotherapeutics, Inc., a U.S. company that uses applications of immunology to develop products for the prevention and treatment of diseases; and Oncothyreon, Inc., formerly Biomira, Inc., an international
biotechnology company headquartered in Canada (0.3%, 1.4%, 0.1% and 0.2% of total investments, respectively).

The Claymore/Robb Report Global Luxury Index ETF
(the Fund) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before the
Funds fees and expenses, of an equity index called the Robb Report Global Luxury Index (the Index). The Fund will normally invest at least 90% of its total assets in common stock and American depositary receipts (ADRs)

companies whose primary business is the provision of global luxury goods and services. These may include retailers, manufacturers (which may include automobiles, boats, aircraft, and consumer electronics), travel and leisure firms, and investment
and other professional services firms. The designation of such firms as luxury is determined by the publisher of the Robb Report Magazine, CurtCo Robb Media, LLC (the Robb Report or the Index Provider). Robb
Report generally defines developed markets as countries whose economies have high income levels, strong legal protection and sophisticated stock exchanges. The current list of global developed markets consists of Australia, Austria,
Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States of America.
Fund Performance
This report discusses an abbreviated semi-annual
fiscal period from the Funds inception date of July 30, 2007, through November 30, 2007.
On a market price basis, the Fund generated a
total return of 4.12%, representing a change in market price to $24.78 on November 30, 2007, from $23.80 at inception. On a net asset value (NAV) basis, the Fund generated a total return of 3.87%, representing a change in NAV to
$24.72 on November 30, 2007, from $23.80 at inception. At the end of the period the Funds shares were trading at a market price premium to NAV, which is to be expected from time to time. However, the Investment Adviser believes that large
discounts or premiums to the NAV of the shares should not be sustained.
For index and broad market comparison purposes, the Index returned 4.49% and the
MSCI World Index returned 4.38% for the same period. The MSCI World Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that measures global developed market equity performance of the developed market country indices of Europe, Australasia,
the Far East, the U.S. and Canada. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
Economic and Market Overview
The period from the Funds inception date of July 30, 2007, through November 30, 2007, was a challenging environment for investors. Concerns have mounted
about the widening impact of the sub-prime mortgage crisis on the markets and the economy as a whole, causing investors to become increasingly risk-averse. In the U.S. equity market, major indices that measure performance of large-cap and growth
stocks trended up, while most small-cap and value indices were down. Most international equity markets were stronger than the U.S. market, with particular strength in Asian markets other than Japan.
Most world economies continued to expand during 2007, despite a variety of concerns. In the U.S., consumer spending held up reasonably well, and labor market trends
remained fairly positive. Business investment and corporate earnings continued to grow. Expansion in net exports, supported by economic growth abroad and the weak dollar, contributed to growth in the U.S., cushioning the impact of the housing
correction. Beginning in September, the Fed reduced interest rates three times, striving to strike a balance between providing needed support for financial markets and keeping inflation at a moderate level.
Performance Attribution
Since more than half of the Funds
assets are invested in the consumer goods sector, positions in this sector generally drive performance. Other sectors with significant representation are consumer services and financials. Positions that contributed strongly to returns included Wynn
Resorts, Ltd. (3.0% of total investments), which operates destination casino resorts; Northern Trust Corp. and Julius Baer Holding AG (3.9% and 4.1% of total investments, respectively), both in the financial service sector. The greatest detractors
from performance were leather goods marketer Coach, Inc. and retailer Nordstrom, Inc. (3.0% and 1.8% of total investments, respectively).

The Claymore/SWM Canadian Energy Income Index ETF
(the Fund) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before the
Funds fees and expenses, of an equity index called the Sustainable Canadian Energy Income Index (the Energy Income Index or Index). The Fund will normally invest at least 90% of its total assets in securities that
comprise the Index. The Fund, using a low cost passive or indexing investment approach, will seek to replicate, before expenses, the performance of the Index. Claymore Advisors, LLC (the Investment Adviser) seeks
a correlation over time of .95 or better between the Funds performance and the performance of the Index. A figure of 1.00 would represent perfect correlation.
The Fund will generally invest in all of the stocks comprising the Index in proportion to their weightings in the Index. The Index is comprised of 30 stocks selected, based on investment and other criteria, from a
universe of companies listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the TSX), AMEX, NASDAQ or NYSE. The universe of companies includes over 35 TSX listed Canadian royalty trusts and 25 oil sands resource producers that are classified as oil and
gas producers. The companies in the universe are selected using criteria as identified by Sustainable Wealth Management, Ltd. (SWM or the Index Provider). The Energy Income Index selection methodology is designed to combine
the most profitable and liquid Canadian royalty trusts with the most highly focused and fastest growing oil sands producers using a tactical asset allocation model based on the trend in crude oil prices.
The Energy Income Index allocates between the oil sands and royalty trust constituents according to the current price trend of crude oil. If the current quarters
closing price is above the four quarter moving average price, crude oil is determined to be in a bull phase. If it is at or below the moving average price, crude oil is determined to be in a bear phase.

Fund Performance
This report discusses an abbreviated semi-annual fiscal period from the Funds inception date of July 3, 2007, through November 30, 2007.
On a market price basis, the Fund generated a total return of -1.08%, representing a change in market price to $24.78 on November 30, 2007, from $25.05 at inception. On a net asset value (NAV) basis,
the Fund generated a total return of -1.04%, representing a change in NAV to $24.79 on November 30, 2007, from $25.05 at inception. At the end of the period the Funds shares were trading at a market price discount to NAV, which is to be
expected from time to time. However, the Investment Adviser believes that large discounts or premiums to the NAV of the shares should not be sustained.
For index and broad market comparison purposes, the Index returned 0.57% and the S&P/TSX Composite Index (S&P /TSX) returned -0.62% for the same period. The S&P/TSX is an unmanaged index that tracks the performance
of the largest companies on the Toronto Stock Exchange as measured by market capitalization. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Since essentially all of the Funds
investments are in the energy sector, performance is driven mainly by individual positions in this sector. Major contributors to performance to return were Petrobank Energy & Resources Ltd. (6.7% of total investments), which is engaged in
the exploration for and development and production of oil and natural gas in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin and the country of Colombia, and Canadian Oil Sands Trust, an investment trust that is involved in the mining and upgrading of
bitumen from oil sands in Northern Alberta (7.9% of total investments). Detractors from performance included OPTI Canada Inc., an oil sands development company based in Alberta, and Synenco Energy Inc., a development state company engaged in the
business of developing oil sands-related assets in Alberta (5.6% and 4.1% of total investments, respectively).

Fund Performance
This report discusses an abbreviated semi-annual
fiscal period from the Funds inception date of July 11, 2007, through November 30, 2007.
On a market price basis, the Fund generated a
total return of 3.71%, representing a change in market price to $26.01 on November 30, 2007, from $25.08 at inception. On a net asset value (NAV) basis, the Fund generated a total return of 3.95%, representing a change in NAV to
$26.07 on November 30, 2007, from $25.08 at inception. At the end of the period the Funds shares were trading at a market price discount to NAV, which is to be expected from time to time. However, the Investment Adviser believes that
large discounts or premiums to the NAV of the Shares should not be sustained.
For index and broad
market comparison purposes, the Index returned 4.47% and the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe Australasia and Far East Index (MSCI EAFE

correction. Beginning in September, the Fed reduced interest rates three times, striving to strike a balance between providing needed support for financial markets and keeping inflation at a moderate level.
Performance Attribution
The Funds strongest gains were in the
telecommunications, utilities and basic materials sectors. Sectors that detracted from performance were industrials and technology. In telecommunications, top contributors to performance were Telefonica S.A. (1.2% of total investments), based in
Spain with operations throughout Europe and Latin America, and Singapore Telecommunications Ltd. (0.9% of total investments). In the utilities sector, Hong Kong & China Gas Co Ltd. (0.9% of total investments) was particularly strong. The
best performing holdings in the materials sector were Rio Tinto Ltd. (1.0% of total investments) and Rio Tinto PLC (0.9% of total investments), two related entities that operate as an international mining company. The Funds two positions in
the technology sector, Foxconn International Holdings Ltd. (0.6% of total investments), a handset manufacturer based in Hong Kong, and L.M. Ericsson Telephone Co. (0.4% of total investments), an international service provider based in Sweden, were
both down sharply. In the industrial sector, detractors from performance included Swedish auto manufacturer Volvo AB (0.9% of total investments) and Wolseley PLC (0.2% of total investments), a building materials company based in the U.K.

HGI
| Claymore/Zacks International Yield Hog Index ETF
The Claymore/Zacks International Yield Hog Index ETF
(the Fund) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before the
Funds fees and expenses, of an index called the Zacks International Yield Hog Index (the International Yield Hog Index or Index). The Fund will normally invest at least 90% of its total assets in stocks that comprise
the Index. Claymore Advisors, LLC (the Investment Adviser) seeks a correlation over time of .95 or better between the Funds performance and the performance of the Index. A figure of 1.00 would represent perfect correlation.
The Fund, using a low cost passive or indexing investment approach, will seek to replicate, before expenses, the performance of
the Zacks International Yield Hog Index. The Index is comprised of 150 stocks selected, based on investment and other criteria, from a universe of international companies, global REITs, master limited partnerships, Canadian royalty trusts, American
depositary receipts (ADRs) of emerging market companies and U.S. listed closed-end funds that invest in international companies. The companies in the universe are selected using a proprietary strategy developed by Zacks Investment
Research, Inc. (Zacks or the Index Provider). The Fund generally will invest in all of the stocks comprising the Index in proportion to their weightings in the Index.
Fund Performance
This report discusses an abbreviated semi-annual
fiscal period from the Funds inception date of July 11, 2007, through November 30, 2007.
On a market price basis, the Fund generated a
total return of -5.12%, representing a change in market price to $23.70 on November 30, 2007, from $24.98 at inception. On a net asset value (NAV) basis, the Fund generated a total return of -4.40%, representing a change in NAV to
$23.88 on November 30, 2007, from $24.98 at inception. At the end of the period the Funds shares were trading at a market price discount to NAV, which is to be expected from time to time. However, the Investment Adviser believes that
large discounts or premiums to the NAV of the shares should not be sustained.
For index and broad
market comparison purposes, the Index returned -3.95% and the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe Australasia and Far East Index (MSCI EAFE
®
) returned 0.81% for the same
period. MSCI EAFE is an unmanaged, capitalization weighted measure of stock markets in Europe, Australasia and the Far East. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
Economic and Market Overview
The period from the Funds inception date of July 11, 2007, through
November 30, 2007, was a difficult environment for investors in both equity and fixed income, as concerns have mounted about the widening impact of the sub-prime mortgage crisis on the markets and the economy as a whole. U.S. equity markets
have been highly volatile, with no pronounced trend that defines the entire period. Most international equity markets were stronger than the U.S. market, with particular strength in Asian markets other than Japan.
Most world economies continued to expand during 2007, despite a variety of concerns. In the U.S., consumer spending has held up reasonably well, and labor market trends
remain fairly positive. Business investment and corporate earnings continued to grow. Expansion in net exports, supported by economic growth abroad and the weak dollar, contributed to growth in the U.S., cushioning the impact of the housing
correction. Beginning in September, the Fed reduced interest rates three times, striving to strike a balance between providing needed support for financial markets and keeping inflation at a moderate level.
Performance Attribution
The Funds strongest gains for the
period from July 11, 2007, through November 30, 2007, were in the telecommunications sector, followed by the basic materials sector. Sectors that detracted from performance were consumer services, consumer goods and industrials. In the
telecommunications sector, the strongest contributor was France Telecom SA (1.4% of total investments). In the basic materials sector, Aluminum Corp. of China Ltd. (not held in the portfolio at period end) and Anglo American PLC (2.7% of total
investments, combined ADR and ordinary shares), a mining and natural resource company based in the U.K. contributed to performance. In the consumer services sector, performance was hurt by weakness in three retailers, Kingfisher PLC, DSG
International PLC and Signet Group PLC (0.8%, 0.9% and 0.5% of total investments, respectively), and by Ladbrokes PLC (0.6% of total investments), a gaming company; all four of these companies are headquartered in the U.K. In the consumer goods
sector, a detractor from performance was EganaGoldpfeil (Holdings) Ltd. (not held in the portfolio at period end), a jewelry retailer based in Hong Kong that is undergoing restructuring. Detractors in the industrials sector included Tomkins PLC
(1.0% of total investments), a British engineering and manufacturing company, and James Hardie Industries N.V. (0.5% of total investments), an international building materials group based in the Netherlands.

Risks and Other Considerations
The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio managers and Claymore only through the report period as stated on the cover. These views are subject to change at any time, based on market and other
conditions and should not be construed as a recommendation of any kind. The material may also contain forward looking statements that involve risk and uncertainty, and there is no guarantee they will come to pass.
This information does not represent an offer to sell securities of the Funds and it is not soliciting an offer to buy securities of the Funds. There can be no assurance
that the Funds will achieve their investment objectives. An investment in the Funds is subject to certain risks and other considerations that include, but are not limited to:
Investment Risk.
This includes the risk of the possible loss of the entire principal amount that you invest.
Equity Risk.
This includes the risk that the value of the securities held by the Funds will fall due to general market and economic conditions, perceptions regarding the industries in which the issuers of securities held by the Funds
participate, or factors relating to specific companies in which the Funds invest.
Foreign Investment Risk.
The Funds investments in non-U.S.
issuers may involve unique risks compared to investing in securities of U.S. issuers, including, among others, less market liquidity, generally greater market volatility than U.S. securities and less complete financial information than for U.S.
issuers. In addition, adverse political, economic or social developments could undermine the value of the Funds investments or prevent the Fund from realizing the full value of its investments. Financial reporting standards for companies based
in foreign markets differ from those in the United States. Finally, the value of the currency of the country in which the Fund has invested could decline relative to the value of the U.S. dollar, which may affect the value of the investment to U.S.
investors. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts, particularly unsponsored or unregistered depositary receipts, are under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications to the holders of such receipts, or to pass
through to them any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities.
Replication Management Risk.
Unlike many investment companies, the
Funds are not actively managed. Therefore, the Funds wont necessarily sell a stock because the stocks issuer was in financial trouble unless that stock is removed from the Index.
Non-Correlation Risk.
The Funds returns may not match the returns of the indices. For example, the Funds incur operating expenses not applicable to the
indices, and incur costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the Funds holdings to reflect changes in the composition of the indices.
The Fund may not be fully invested at times, either as a result of cash flows into the Fund or reserves of cash held by the Fund to meet redemptions and expenses. If the Fund utilizes a sampling approach or futures or
other derivative positions, its return may not correlate as well with the return on the Index, as would be the case if it purchased all of the stocks in the Index with the same weightings as the Index.
Issuer-Specific Changes Risk.
The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform
differently from the value of the market as a whole. The value of securities of smaller issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.
Non-Diversified Fund Risk.
The Funds are considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single
investment could cause greater fluctuations in share price than would occur in a diversified fund.
Micro-, Small- and Medium-Sized Company Risk.
Investing in securities of micro-, small and medium-capitalization companies involves greater risk than investing in more established companies. These companies stocks may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established
companies.
The Claymore/Clear Global Vaccine Index ETF is also subject to Vaccine Industry Risk
. Companies that research, develop, manufacture,
license, and/or market vaccines may be susceptible to government regulation and reimbursement rates. Such companies may also be heavily dependent on patent protection, with their profitability affected by the expiration of patents. Companies that
research, develop, manufacture, license, and/or market vaccines may also be subject to expenses and losses from extensive litigation based on product liability and similar claims, as well as competitive forces that may make it difficult to raise
prices and, in fact, may result in price discounting. The process for obtaining new product approval by the Food and Drug Administration is long and costly. Such companies also may be characterized by thin capitalization and limited product lines,
markets, financial resources or personnel.
The Claymore/Clear Global Exchanges, Brokers & Asset Managers Index ETF is also subject to
Exchanges, Brokers & Asset Managers Industries Risk.
Because the Index is concentrated in a particular industry, group of industries or sector, the Fund may be adversely affected by the performance of those securities and may be subject
to price volatility. In addition, the Fund may be more susceptible to any single economic, market, political or regulatory occurrence affecting that industry or group of industries. Companies in the exchanges, brokers or asset managers industries
are subject to extensive government regulation that affects the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain. The exchanges, brokers or asset managers industries can be significantly affected by
stock and bond market activity, brokerage commission structures, and a competitive environment combined with the high operating leverage inherent in companies in these industries.

The Claymore/SWM Canadian Energy Income Index ETF is also subject to the following risks:
Oils/Energy Sector Risk.
The profitability of companies in the oils/energy sector is related to worldwide energy prices, exploration, and production spending. Such
companies also are subject to risks of changes in exchange rates, government regulation, world events, depletion of resources and economic conditions, as well as market, economic and political risks of the countries where energy companies are
located or do business. Oil and gas exploration and production can be significantly affected by natural disasters. Oil exploration and production companies may be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates, interest rates, government
regulation, world events, and economic conditions. Oil exploration and production companies may be at risk for environmental damage claims.
Canadian
Risk.
As the Fund invests in Canadian royalty trusts and stocks listed on the TSX, the Fund is subject to the following risks:
Commodity
Exposure Risk.
The Canadian economy is very dependent on the demand for, and supply and price of, natural resources. The Canadian market is relatively concentrated in issuers involved in the production and distribution of natural resources.
There is a risk that any changes in these sectors could have an adverse impact on the Canadian economy.
Reliance on Exports Risk.
The Canadian
economy is dependent on the economies of the United States as a key trading partner. Reduction in spending on Canadian products and services or changes in the U.S. economy may cause an impact in the Canadian economy: U.S. Economic Risk. The Canadian
economy may be significantly affected by the U.S. economy, given that the United States is Canadas largest trading partner and foreign investor. Since the implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1994, total two-way
merchandise trade between the United States and Canada has more than doubled. To further this relationship, all three NAFTA countries entered into The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America in March 2005, which addressed economic and
security related issues. The new agreement may further affect Canadas dependency on the U.S. economy. Structural Risk (Political Risk). In addition, past periodic demands by the Province of Quebec for sovereignty have significantly affected
equity valuations and foreign currency movements in the Canadian market.
Claymore/Zacks International Yield Hog ETF is also subject to the following
risks:
Canadian Risk.
As the Fund invests in Canadian royalty trusts and stocks listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, the Fund is subject to the
following risks: Commodity Exposure Risk. The Canadian economy is very dependent on the demand for, and supply and price of, natural resources. The Canadian market is relatively concentrated in issuers involved in the production and distribution of
natural resources. There is a risk that any changes in these sectors could have an adverse impact on the Canadian economy. Reliance on Exports Risk. The Canadian economy is dependent on the economies of the United States as a key trading partner.
Reduction in spending on Canadian products and services or changes in the U.S. economy may cause an impact in the Canadian economy. U.S. Economic Risk. The Canadian economy may be significantly affected by the U.S. economy, given that the United
States is Canadas largest trading partner and foreign investor. Since the implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1994, total two-way merchandise trade between the United States and Canada has more than doubled. To
further this relationship, all three NAFTA countries entered into The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America in March 2005, which addressed economic and security related issues. The new agreement may further affect Canadas
dependency on the U.S. economy.
Structural Risk (Political Risk).
In addition, past periodic demands by the Province of Quebec for sovereignty have
significantly affected equity valuations and foreign currency movements in the Canadian market.
Emerging Markets Risk.
Investment in securities of
issuers based in developing or emerging market countries entails all of the risks of investing in securities of non-U.S. issuers, as described above, but to a heightened degree. Emerging market countries typically have economic and
political systems that are less fully developed, and can be expected to be less stable than those of more developed countries. For example, the economies of such countries can be subject to rapid and unpredictable rates of inflation or deflation.
Low trading volumes may result in a lack of liquidity and in price volatility. Emerging market countries may have policies that restrict investment by foreigners, or that prevent foreign investors from withdrawing their money at will.
REIT Risk.
Investments in securities of real estate companies involve risks. These risks include, among others, adverse changes in national, state or local real
estate conditions; obsolescence of properties; changes in the availability, cost and terms of mortgage funds; and the impact of changes in environmental laws. In addition, a REIT that fails to comply with federal tax requirements affecting REITs may
be subject to federal income taxation, or the federal tax requirement that a REIT distribute substantially all of its net income to its shareholders may result in a REIT having insufficient capital for future expenditures. The value of a REIT can
depend on the structure of and cash flow generated by the REIT. In addition, like mutual funds, REITs have expenses, including advisory and administration fees, that are paid their shareholders. As a result, you will absorb duplicate levels of fees
when the Fund invests in REITs. In addition, REITs are subject to certain provisions under federal tax law. The failure of a company to qualify as a REIT could have adverse consequences for the Fund, including significantly reducing return to the
Fund on its investment in such company.

Master Limited Partnership Risk
. Investments in securities of master limited partnerships involve risks that
differ from an investment in common stock. Holders of the units of master limited partnerships have more limited control and limited rights to vote on matters affecting the partnership. There are also certain tax risks associated with an investment
in units of master limited partnerships. In addition, conflicts of interest may exist between common unit holders, subordinated unit holders and the general partner of a master limited partnership, including a conflict arising as a result of
incentive distribution payments.
Risks of Investing in Other Investment Companies.
Investments in securities of other investment companies involve
risks, including, among others, the fact that shares of other investment companies are subject to the management fees and other expenses of those companies, and the purchase of shares of some investment companies (in the case of closed-end
investment companies) may sometimes require the payment of substantial premiums above the value of such companies portfolio securities or net asset values. The Fund must continue, at the same time, to pay its own management fees and expenses
with respect to all of its investments, including shares of other investment companies. The securities of other investment companies may also be leveraged and will therefore be subject to certain leverage risks.
The Claymore/Robb Report Global Luxury Index ETF is also subject to Luxury Risk
.The success of companies that sell luxury goods and services may depend heavily on
the disposable household income and consumer spending of a relatively small segment of the general population, rather than the consumer population as a whole. Changes in consumer taste among such segment of the population can also affect the demand
for, and success of, luxury goods and services in the marketplace. Consumer spending on luxury goods and services can also be adversely affected as a result of declines in consumer confidence levels, even if prevailing economic conditions are
favorable. In an economic downturn, consumer discretionary spending levels generally decline, often resulting in disproportionately large reductions in the sale of luxury goods and services.
The Claymore/Clear Global Timber Index ETF is also subject to the following risks:
Timber Risk.
The market value of securities of global timber companies may be affected by numerous factors, including events occurring in nature and international politics. For example, the volume and value of
timber that can be harvested from timberlands may be limited by natural disasters and other events such as fire, volcanic eruptions, insect infestation, disease, ice storms, wind storms, flooding, other weather conditions and other causes. In
periods of poor logging conditions, global timber companies may harvest less timber than expected. Global timber companies involved in the forest, paper and packaging products industries are highly competitive globally, including significant
competition from non-wood and engineered wood products, and no single company is dominant. These industries have suffered, and continue to suffer, from excess capacity. Global timber companies are subject to many federal, state and local
environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, particularly with respect to the restoration and reforestation of timberlands, harvesting timber near waterways, discharges of pollutants and emissions, and the management, disposal and
remediation of hazardous substances or other contaminants. Political risks and the other risks to which foreign securities are subject may also affect domestic companies in which the Fund may invest if they have significant operations or investments
in foreign countries. In particular, tariffs, quotas or trade agreements can also affect the markets for products of global timber companies, particularly wood products. In addition, rising interest rates and general economic conditions may affect
the demand for timber products.
Emerging Markets Risk
Emerging market countries are countries that major international financial institutions, such
as the World Bank, generally consider to be less economically mature than developed nations. Emerging market countries can include every nation in the world except the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and most countries located
in Western Europe. Investing in foreign countries, particularly emerging market countries, entails the risk that news and events unique to a country or region will affect those markets and their issuers. Countries with emerging markets may have
relatively unstable governments, may present the risks of nationalization of businesses, restrictions on foreign ownership and prohibitions on the repatriation of assets. The economies of emerging markets countries also may be based on only a few
industries, making them more vulnerable to changes in local or global trade conditions and more sensitive to debt burdens or inflation rates. Local securities markets may trade a small number of securities and may be unable to respond effectively to
increases in trading volume, potentially making prompt liquidation of holdings difficult or impossible at times.
Industry Concentration Risk.
As
the Index is comprised of issuers in the global timber industry, the Fund is therefore focused in that industry. Accordingly, the Fund may be subject to more risks than if it were broadly diversified over numerous industries and sectors of the
economy.
In addition to the risks described, there are certain other risks related to investing in the Funds. These risks are described further in the
Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and current
performance may be lower or higher than the figures shown. For the most recent month-end performance figures, please visit www.claymore.com.
The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate with changes in market
conditions and other factors so that an investors shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Since inception
returns assume a purchase of the ETF at the initial share price of $24.56 for share price returns or initial net asset value (NAV) of $24.56 per share for NAV returns. Returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.
The Funds total annual operating expense ratio was estimated at 0.89%, per the prospectus, gross of any fee waivers or expense reimbursements. The Funds
expense ratio for its initial fiscal year is based on an assumed average asset level of $100 million. If assets are lower than $100 million, the expense ratio will be higher due to the inclusion of offering costs during the first twelve months of
operations. If average assets of the Fund exceed $100 million during the Funds first twelve months, the expense ratio may be lower. In the Financial Highlights section of this Annual Report, the Funds annualized net operating expense
ratio was determined to be 1.19% while the Funds annualized gross operating expense ratio was determined to be 3.10%. There is a contractual fee waiver currently in place for this Fund through December 31, 2009 to the extent necessary in
keeping the Funds operating expense ratio from exceeding 0.65% of average net assets per year. Some expenses fall outside of this expense cap and actual expenses will be higher than 0. 65%.Without this expense cap, actual returns would be
lower.

Since inception returns assume
a purchase of the ETF at the initial share price of $24.91 for share price returns or initial net asset value (NAV) of $24.91 per share for NAV returns. Returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.
The Funds total annual operating expense ratio was estimated at 0.91%, per the prospectus, gross of any fee waivers or expense reimbursements. The Funds

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and current
performance may be lower or higher than the figures shown. For the most recent month-end performance figures, please visit www.claymore.com. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate with changes in market conditions
and other factors so that an investors shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Since inception returns assume
a purchase of the ETF at the initial share price of $24.96 for share price returns or initial net asset value (NAV) of $24.96 per share for NAV returns. Returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.
The Funds total annual operating expense ratio was estimated at 0.89%, per the prospectus, gross of any fee waivers or expense reimbursements. The Funds
expense ratio for its initial fiscal year is based on an assumed average asset level of $100 million. If assets are lower than $100 million, the expense ratio will be higher due to the inclusion of offering cost during the first twelve months of
operations. If average assets of the Fund exceed $100 million during the Funds first twelve months, the expense ratio may be lower. In the Financial Highlights section of this Semi-Annual Report, the Funds annualized net operating
expense ratio was determined to be 1.44% while the Funds annualized gross operating expense ratio was determined to be 4.35%. There is a contractual fee waiver currently in place for this Fund through December 31, 2009 to the extent
necessary in keeping the Funds operating expense ratio from exceeding 0.65% of average net assets per year. Some expenses fall outside of this expense cap and actual expenses may be higher than 0.65%. Without this expense cap, actual returns
would be lower.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and current
performance may be lower or higher than the figures shown. For the most recent month-end performance figures, please visit www.claymore.com. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate with changes in market conditions
and other factors so that an investors shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Since inception returns assume
a purchase of the ETF at the initial share price of $24.98 for share price returns or initial net asset value (NAV) of $24.98 per share for NAV returns. Returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized The Funds total annual
operating expense ratio was estimated at 1.04%, per the prospectus, gross of any fee waivers or expense reimbursements. The Funds expense ratio for its initial fiscal year is based on an assumed average asset level of $100 million. If assets
are lower than $100 million, the expense ratio will be higher due to the inclusion of offering costs during the first twelve months of operations. If average assets of the Fund exceed $100 million during the Funds first twelve months, the
expense ratio may be lower. In the Financial Highlights section of this Semi Annual Report, the Funds annualized net operating expense ratio was determined to be 1.08% while the Funds annualized gross operating expense ratio was
determined to be 2.68%. There is a contractual fee waiver currently in place for this Fund through December 31, 2009 to the extent necessary in keeping the Funds operating expense ratio from exceeding 0.65% of average net assets per year.
Some expenses fall outside of this expense cap and actual expenses may be higher than 0. 65%. Without this expense cap, actual returns would be lower.

Claymore Exchange-Traded Fund Trust 2
Overview of Fund Expenses |
As of November 30, 2007
(unaudited)
As a shareholder of Claymore/Clear Global Exchanges,
Brokers & Asset Managers Index ETF; Claymore/Clear Global Timber Index ETF; Claymore/Clear Global Vaccine Index ETF; Claymore/Robb Report Global Luxury Index ETF; Claymore/SWM Canadian Energy Income Index ETF; Claymore/Zacks Country
Rotation ETF; Claymore/Zacks International Yield Hog Index ETF; and you incur advisory fees and other Fund expenses. The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to
compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period ended 11/30/07.
Actual Expense
The first line of the table below provides
information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for
example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled Expenses Paid During Period to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this
period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is
not the Funds actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing
in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your
ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or contingent deferred sales charges. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the
relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Note 1
Organization:
Claymore Exchange-Traded Fund Trust 2 (the Trust), which was organized as a Delaware business trust on June 8, 2006, is registered as
an open-end, management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). At the end of the period, the Trust consisted of ten portfolios. The following seven portfolios have a semi-annual reporting
period ending on November 30, 2007:

Each portfolio represents a separate series of the Trust (each a Fund or collectively the
Funds). Each Funds shares are listed and traded on the American Stock Exchange except Robb Report Global Luxury Index which is listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange Arca (NYSE Arca). The Funds market
prices may differ to some degree from the net asset value of the shares of each Fund. Unlike conventional mutual funds, each Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis, at net asset value, only in a large specified number of shares, each
called a Creation Unit. Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in the relevant index. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Funds.
The investment objective of each of the Funds is to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the performance of the following market indices:

Note 2
Accounting Policies:
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by
the Funds.
(a) Valuation of Investments
Equity
securities are valued at the last reported sale price on the principal exchange or on the principal over-the-counter market on which such securities are traded, as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE on the day the securities are being
valued or, if there are not sales, at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices. Equity securities that are traded primarily on the NASDAQ Stock Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Events occurring after the close of
trading on non-United States exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE. Debt securities are valued at the mean between the
last available bid and asked prices for such securities or, if such prices are not available, at prices for securities of comparable maturity, quality and type. For those securities where quotations or prices are not available, valuations are
determined in accordance with procedures established in good faith by the Board of Trustees. Short-term securities with maturities of 60 days or less at time of purchase are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
(b) Investment Transactions and Investment Income
Investment
transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded net of applicable withholding taxes on the ex-dividend date and interest income is
recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts or premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted or amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method.
(c) Currency Translation
Assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the bid and asked price of respective exchange rates on the last day of the period. Purchases and sales of investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the
exchange rate on the date of the transaction.
Foreign exchange gain or loss resulting from holding of a foreign currency, expiration of a currency
exchange contract, difference in exchange rates between the trade date and settlement date of an investment purchased or sold, and the difference between dividends actually received compared to the amount shown in a Funds accounting records on
the date of receipt are included as net realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions in the Funds Statement of Operations.
Foreign
exchange gain or loss on assets and liabilities, other than investments, are included in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on foreign currency translations.
(d) Distributions
The Funds intend to pay substantially all of their net investment income to Shareholders through annual distributions,
except for Zacks International Yield Hog Index which will pay a quarterly distribution. In addition, the Funds intend to distribute any capital gains to Shareholders as capital gain dividends at least annually. The amount and timing of distributions
are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
(e) Offering
Costs
Offering costs in the amount of $49,000 were incurred by each Fund, except for Clear Global Timber Index, and are being amortized over a one-year
period. Offering costs for Clear Global Timber Index are being accrued at an annual rate of the lesser of actual costs incurred or 0.25% of average daily net assets over the first year of operations. Claymore Advisors, LLC has agreed to pay all
organizational expenses of each Fund incurred prior to the commencement of investment operations.

Note 6
Capital:
Shares are issued and redeemed by the Funds only in Creation Unit size aggregations of 200,000 shares. Such transactions are only permitted on an in-kind basis, with separate cash payment, which is balancing each
component to equate the transaction to the net asset value per unit of the Fund on the transaction date. Transaction fees ranging from $500 to $4,000 are charged to those persons creating or redeeming Creation Units. An additional charge of up to
four times the Creation or Redemption Transaction Fee may be imposed with respect to transactions effected outside of the Clearing Process or to the extent that cash is used in lieu of securities to purchase Creation Units or redeem for cash.
Note 7 -
Distribution Agreement:
The Board of
Trustees of the Trust has adopted a distribution and services plan (the Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the Plan, each Fund is authorized to pay distribution fees in connection with the sale and distribution of its
shares and pay service fees in connection with the provision of ongoing services to shareholders of each class and the maintenance of shareholder accounts in an amount up to 0.25% of its average daily net assets each year. No 12b-1 fees are
currently paid by the Funds, and there are no current plans to impose these fees.
Note 8
Securities Lending:
Each Fund may lend its portfolio securities in order to earn income. Each Fund will receive collateral in cash or high quality securities at least equal to the current
value of loaned securities. Each Fund earns interest on the securities it lends and income when it invests the collateral for the loaned securities. As of November 30, 2007, none of the Funds had any lent securities outstanding.
Note 9
Indemnifications:
In the normal course of
business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations, which provide general indemnifications. Each Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would require future claims that may be made
against a Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
Note 10
Accounting Pronouncements:
On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions
taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are more-likely-than-not of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the
more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has evaluated the implications of FIN 48 and has determined it does not have any impact on the financial statements as of November 30,
2007.
In September, 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Valuation Measurements (FAS
157). This standard clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. As of November 30, 2007, the Funds do not believe the adoption of FAS 157 will impact the amounts reported in the
financial statements, however, additional disclosure will be required about the inputs used to develop measurements of fair value and the effect of certain of the measurements reported in the statement of operations for a fiscal period.
Note 11
Subsequent Event:
Subsequent to
November 30, 2007, the Board of Trustees declared an annual dividend payable on December 31, 2007 to shareholders of record on December 28, 2007. The dividend rates per common share were as follows:

Claymore Exchange-Traded Fund Trust 2
Board Considerations Regarding Approval of
Investment Advisory Agreement |
Claymore/Clear Global Exchanges, Brokers & Asset Managers Index ETF
Claymore/Clear Global Vaccine Index ETF
Claymore/SWM Canadian Energy Income Index ETF
Claymore/Zacks Country Rotation ETF
Claymore/Zacks International
Yield Hog Index ETF
The Advisory Agreement between Claymore Advisors, LLC (the Investment Adviser) and the Trust on behalf of each of the
above-named funds (Funds) was approved by the Board of Trustees, including all of the trustees who are not parties to such agreement or interested persons of any such party, on March 7, 2007. The Board of Trustees, including a
majority of the independent trustees, determined that approval of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund. The independent trustees, with the assistance of independent legal counsel, met separately from the
interested trustee of the Trust and officers and employees of the Investment Adviser to consider approval of the Advisory Agreement. The Board of Trustees, including the independent trustees, did not identify any single factor or group
of factors as all important or controlling and considered all factors together. In evaluating whether to approve the Advisory Agreement for each Fund, the Board considered numerous factors, as described below.
With respect to the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Investment Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, the Board considered and reviewed
information concerning the services proposed to be provided under the Advisory Agreement, the proposed investment parameters of the respective index for each Fund, the Investment Advisers Form ADV, financial information regarding the
Investment Adviser and its parent company, information describing the Investment Advisers current organization and the background and experience of the persons who would be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds, the
anticipated financial support of the Funds and the nature and quality of services provided to other exchange-traded (ETFs) and closed-end funds by the Investment Adviser. The Board also considered the services to be provided by the
Investment Adviser in its oversight of the Funds custodian, transfer agent, and accounting agent, as well as the respective index licensors for each Fund, and noted the significant time and effort that would be devoted to this oversight
function. Since the Funds are newly organized and have no investment performance, the Board did not consider investment performance of the Funds. Based upon their review, the Board concluded that the Investment Adviser was qualified to manage the
Funds and to oversee the services to be provided by other service providers and that the services to be provided by the Investment Adviser to each Fund are expected to be satisfactory.
With respect to the costs of services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Investment Adviser, the Board considered the resources involved in managing each Fund as well as the proposed expense limitation
for each Fund. The Board noted that because the Funds are newly organized, the Investment Adviser represented that profitability information was not yet determinable. However, based upon the impact of the proposed expense limitation for each Fund,
the Board concluded that profitability was not expected to be unreasonable.
The Board also reviewed information provided by the Investment Adviser showing
the proposed advisory fees for the Funds as compared to those of a peer group of ETFs provided by the Investment Adviser. The Board noted the services to be provided by the Investment Adviser for the annual advisory fee of 0.50% of each Funds
average daily net assets and that the proposed advisory fee to be charged to each Fund was identical. The Board also considered that the Investment Adviser had contractually agreed to waive its fee and/or pay expenses of the Funds to the extent
necessary to absorb the annual operating expenses of each Fund (excluding interest expenses, a portion of a Funds licensing fees, offering costs, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses such as
litigation and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of a Funds business) over certain amounts at least until December 31, 2009. The Board considered that, although the Funds proposed advisory fees were at the high end
of the range of those in the peer group of ETFs provided by the Investment Adviser,taking into account the respective expense limitations for the Funds, the Funds expense ratios were expected to be within range of the expense ratios of the
peer group of ETFs provided by the Investment Adviser. The Board concluded that each Funds advisory fee was reasonable given the nature, extent and anticipated quality of the services to be provided under the Advisory Agreement and the expense
limitation that would be in place.
The Board considered the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as each Fund grows and whether fee levels
reflect a reasonable sharing of such economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors. Because the Funds are newly organized, the Board reviewed the Funds proposed expense limitations and determined to review economies of scale in the
future when the Funds had attracted assets. The Board also noted that the terms of the expense reimbursement agreement that the Investment Adviser had entered into with the Funds allow the Investment Adviser for a period of five years subsequent to
the respective Funds commencement of operations to recover from the individual Funds fees and expenses waived or reimbursed during the prior three years if the Funds expense ratio, including the recovered expenses falls below the
expense limitation.
The Board considered benefits to be derived by the Investment Adviser from its relationship with the Funds, including the benefits to
the Investment Adviser from its separate Administration Agreement with the Trust. The Board concluded that the advisory fees were reasonable, taking into account these benefits.
Claymore/Robb Report Global Luxury ETF
The Advisory Agreement between Claymore Advisors, LLC (the Investment
Adviser) and the Trust on behalf of the above-named fund (Fund) was approved by the Board of Trustees, including all of the trustees who are not parties to such agreement or interested persons of any such party, on June 19,
2007. The Board of Trustees, including a majority of the independent trustees, determined that approval of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund. The independent trustees, with the assistance of independent legal counsel, met
separately from the interested trustee of the Trust and officers and employees of the Investment Adviser to consider approval of the Advisory Agreement. The Board of Trustees, including the independent trustees, did not identify any
single factor or group of factors as all important or controlling and considered all factors together. In evaluating whether to approve the Advisory Agreement for the Fund, the Board considered numerous factors, as described below.

continued
With respect to the costs of services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Investment Adviser, the Board
considered the resources involved in managing the Fund as well as the proposed expense limitation for the Fund. The Board noted that because the Fund is newly organized, the Investment Adviser represented that profitability information was not yet

extraordinary expenses such as litigation and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of a Funds business) over a certain amount, at least until December 31, 2009. The Board considered that the Funds advisory fee was
below the average of those in the peer group of ETFs provided by the Investment Adviser, although the Funds anticipated expense ratio, giving effect to the expense limitation, was higher than the expense ratios shown for the peer group of
funds. The Board concluded that the Funds advisory fee was reasonable given the nature, extent and anticipated quality of the services to be provided under the Advisory Agreement and the expense limitation that would be in place.
The Board considered the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect a reasonable sharing of such economies

Claymore/Clear Global Timber Index ETF
The Advisory Agreement between Claymore Advisors, LLC (the Investment Adviser) and the
