Past performance is not indicative of future
performance.As of this announcement, the sources of each
fund distribution are estimates. Distributions may be paid from
sources of income other than ordinary income, such as short term
capital gains, long term capital gains or return of capital. If a
distribution consists of something other than ordinary income, a
Section 19(a) notice detailing the anticipated source(s) of the
distribution will be made available. The Section 19(a) notice will
be posted to the Fund's website and to the Depository Trust &
Clearing Corporation so that brokers can distribute such notices to
Shareholders of the Fund. Section 19(a) notices are provided for
informational purposes only and not for tax reporting purposes. The
final determination of the source and tax characteristics of all
distributions in 2014 will be made after the end of the year. This
information is not legal or tax advice. Consult a professional
regarding your specific legal or tax matters.
1 Guggenheim Equal Weight Enhanced Equity Income
Fund ("GEQ") adopted a managed distribution policy (the
"Distribution Policy") effective with the January 31, 2014
distribution. Under the terms of the Distribution Policy, GEQ
will pay a quarterly distribution in a fixed amount until such
amount is modified by the Board of Trustees. If sufficient net
investment income is not available, the distribution will be
supplemented by capital gains and, to the extent necessary, return
of capital.
The following table sets forth the estimated amounts of GEQ's
current distribution and the cumulative distributions paid this
fiscal year to date from the following sources: net investment
income; net realized short term capital gains; net realized long
term capital gains and return of capital. All amounts are
expressed per common share.

The Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income
and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of your
distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital
may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you
invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital
distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund's Investment
performance and should not be confused with "yield" or
"income".
The amounts and sources of distributions reported are only
estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting
purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for
tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund's investment
experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be
subject to changes based on tax regulations. The Fund will
send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you
how to report these distributions for federal income tax
purposes.
The following table provides GEQ's total return performance
based on net asset value (NAV) over various time periods compared
to GEQ's annualized and cumulative distributions rates.
Average annual total return (in
relation to NAV) for the period since inception (October 27, 2011)
to June 30, 2014 |
13.77% |
Annualized current distribution rate
expressed as a percentage of NAV as of June 30, 2014 |

Cumulative total return (in relation to

7.56% |
Cumulative fiscal year distributions as
a percentage of NAV as of June 30, 2014 |

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. Total returns in relation to NAV
reflect the Fund's total annual expenses.
You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund's investment
performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms
of the Fund's Distribution Policy.
