CurrencyShares ® Euro Trust

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

1. Organization and Description of the Trust

The CurrencyShares ® Euro Trust (the “Trust”) was formed under the laws of the State of New York on December 5, 2005 when Guggenheim Specialized Products, LLC d/b/a “Guggenheim Investments” (the “Sponsor”) deposited 100 euro in the Trust’s primary deposit account held by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., London Branch (the “Depository”). The Sponsor is a Delaware limited liability company whose sole member is Security Investors, LLC (also d/b/a “Guggenheim Investments”). The Sponsor is responsible for, among other things, overseeing the performance of The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Trustee”) and the Trust’s principal service providers, including the preparation of financial statements. The Trustee is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the Trust.

The investment objective of the Trust is for the Trust’s shares (the “Shares”) to reflect the price in U.S. Dollars (“USD”) of the euro plus accrued interest, if any, less the Trust’s expenses and liabilities. The Shares are intended to provide investors with a simple, cost-effective means of gaining investment benefits similar to those of holding euro. The Trust’s assets primarily consist of euro on demand deposit in two deposit accounts maintained by the Depository: a primary deposit account which may earn interest and a secondary deposit account which does not earn interest. The secondary deposit account is used to account for any interest that may be received and paid out on creations and redemptions of blocks of 50,000 Shares (“Baskets”). The secondary account is also used to account for interest earned, if any, on the primary deposit account, pay Trust expenses and distribute any excess interest to holders of Shares (“Shareholders”) on a monthly basis.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the interim period financial statements have been made. Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full-year period. These financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Trust’s financial statements included in the Form 10-K as filed on January 12, 2017.

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

 

  A. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period and the evaluation of subsequent events through the issuance date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

  B. Foreign Currency Translation

The Trustee calculates the Trust’s net asset value (“NAV”) each business day, as described in Note 4. For NAV calculation purposes, euro deposits (cash) are translated at the Closing Spot Rate, which is the euro/USD exchange rate as determined and published by The WM Company at 4:00 PM (London time / London fixing) on each day that NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”) is open for regular trading.

The functional currency of the Trust is the euro in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards. For financial statement reporting purposes, the U.S. Dollar is the reporting currency. As a result, the financial records of the Trust are translated from euro to USD. The Closing Spot Rate on the last day of the period is used for translation in the statements of financial condition. The average Closing Spot Rate for the period is used for translation in the statements of comprehensive income and the statements of cash flows. Any currency translation adjustment is included in comprehensive income.

Table of Contents
  C. Federal Income Taxes

The Trust is treated as a “grantor trust” for federal income tax purposes and, therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required. Interest, gains and losses are passed through to the Shareholders.

Shareholders generally will be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as if they directly owned a pro-rata share of the assets held in the Trust. Shareholders also will be treated as if they directly received their respective pro-rata portion of the Trust’s income, if any, and as if they directly incurred their respective pro-rata portion of the Trust’s expenses. The acquisition of Shares by a U.S. Shareholder as part of a creation of a Basket will not be a taxable event to the Shareholder.

The Sponsor’s fee accrues daily and is payable monthly. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, an accrual-basis U.S. Shareholder generally will be required to take into account as an expense its allocable portion of the USD-equivalent of the amount of the Sponsor’s fee that is accrued on each day, with such USD-equivalent being determined by the currency exchange rate that is in effect on the respective day. To the extent that the currency exchange rate on the date of payment of the accrued amount of the Sponsor’s fee differs from the currency exchange rate in effect on the day of accrual, the U.S. Shareholder will recognize a currency gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The Trust does not expect to generate taxable income except for interest income (if any) and gain (if any) upon the sale of euro. A non-U.S. Shareholder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to gain recognized upon the sale or other disposition of Shares, or upon the sale of euro by the Trust, unless: (1) the non-U.S. Shareholder is an individual and is present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year of the sale or other disposition, and the gain is treated as being from United States sources; or (2) the gain is effectively connected with the conduct by the non-U.S. Shareholder of a trade or business in the United States.

A non-U.S. Shareholder’s portion of any interest income earned by the Trust generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless the Shares owned by such non-U.S. Shareholder are effectively connected with the conduct by the non-U.S. Shareholder of a trade or business in the United States.

 

  D. Revenue Recognition

Interest on the primary deposit account, if any, accrues daily as earned and is received or paid on a monthly basis. Any interest below zero for the period is reflected as interest expense.

 

  E. Dividends

To the extent that the interest earned by the Trust, if any, exceeds the sum of the Sponsor’s fee for the prior month plus other Trust expenses, if any, the Trust will distribute, as a dividend (herein referred to as dividends or distributions), the excess interest earned in euro effective on the first business day of the subsequent month. The Trustee will direct that the excess euro be converted into USD at the prevailing market rate and the Trustee will distribute the USD as promptly as practicable to Shareholders on a pro-rata basis (in accordance with the number of Shares that they own).

 

3. Euro Deposits

Euro principal deposits are held in a euro-denominated, interest-bearing demand account. The interest rate in effect as of July 31, 2017 was an annual nominal rate of -0.40%. For the nine months ended July 31, 2017, there were euro principal deposits of 765,589,618, euro principal redemptions of 741,516,852 and euro withdrawals (to pay expenses) of 1,294,369, resulting in an ending euro principal balance of 266,077,953. This equates to 313,706,062 USD (which includes USD redemptions payable). For the year ended October 31, 2016, there were euro principal deposits of 1,080,489,764, euro principal redemptions of 1,158,683,985 and euro withdrawals (to pay expenses) of 2,026,744, resulting in an ending euro principal balance of 243,299,556. This equates to 266,705,058 USD.

Net interest, if any, associated with creation and redemption activity is held in a euro-denominated non-interest-bearing account, and any balance is distributed in full as part of the monthly income distributions, if any.

Table of Contents
4. Redeemable Capital Shares

Shares are classified as “redeemable” for financial statement purposes, since they are subject to redemption. Shares are issued and redeemed continuously in Baskets in exchange for euro. Individual investors cannot purchase or redeem Shares in direct transactions with the Trust. Only Authorized Participants (as defined below) may place orders to create and redeem Baskets. An Authorized Participant is a Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) participant that is a registered broker-dealer or other institution eligible to settle securities transactions through the book-entry facilities of the DTC and which has entered into a contractual arrangement with the Trust and the Sponsor governing, among other matters, the creation and redemption process. Authorized Participants may redeem their Shares at any time in Baskets.

Due to expected continuing creations and redemptions of Baskets and the three-day period for settlement of each creation or redemption, the Trust reflects Shares created as a receivable on the trade date. Shares redeemed are reflected as a liability on the trade date. Outstanding Shares are reflected at a redemption value, which is the NAV per Share at the period end date. Adjustments to redeemable capital Shares at redemption value are recorded against retained earnings or, in the absence of retained earnings, by charges against the cumulative translation adjustment.

Activity in redeemable capital Shares is as follows:

The Trustee calculates the Trust’s NAV each business day. To calculate the NAV, the Trustee subtracts the Sponsor’s accrued fee through the previous day from the euro held by the Trust (including all unpaid interest, if any, accrued through the preceding day) and calculates the value of the euro in USD based upon the Closing Spot Rate. If, on a particular evaluation day, the Closing Spot Rate has not been determined and announced by 6:00 PM (London time), then the most recent Closing Spot Rate will be used to determine the NAV of the Trust unless the Trustee, in consultation with the Sponsor, determines that such price is inappropriate to use as the basis for the valuation. If the Trustee and the Sponsor determine that the most recent Closing Spot Rate is not an appropriate basis for valuation of the Trust’s euro, they will determine an alternative basis for the valuation. The Trustee also determines the NAV per Share, which equals the NAV of the Trust, divided by the number of outstanding Shares. Shares deliverable under a purchase order are considered outstanding for purposes of determining NAV per Share; Shares deliverable under a redemption order are not considered outstanding for this purpose.

Table of Contents
5. Sponsor’s Fee

The Sponsor’s fee accrues daily at an annual nominal rate of 0.40% of the euro in the Trust (including all unpaid interest but excluding unpaid fees, each as accrued through the immediately preceding day) and is paid monthly.

The Sponsor assumes and pays the following administrative and marketing expenses incurred by the Trust: the Trustee’s monthly fee, NYSE Arca listing fees, SEC registration fees, typical maintenance and transaction fees of the Depository, printing and mailing costs, audit fees and expenses, up to $100,000 per year in legal fees and expenses, and applicable license fees.

In certain exceptional cases the Trust will pay for some expenses in addition to the Sponsor’s fee. These exceptions include expenses not assumed by the Sponsor (i.e., expenses other than those identified in the preceding paragraph), expenses resulting from a negative interest rate, taxes and governmental charges, expenses and costs of any extraordinary services performed by the Trustee or the Sponsor on behalf of the Trust or action taken by the Trustee or the Sponsor to protect the Trust or the interests of Shareholders, indemnification of the Sponsor under the Depositary Trust Agreement, audit fees and legal expenses in excess of $100,000 per year.

 

6. Related Parties

The Sponsor is a related party of the Trust. The Sponsor oversees the performance of the Trustee and the Trust’s principal service providers, including the preparation of financial statements, but does not exercise day-to-day oversight over the Trustee or the Trust’s service providers.

 

7. Concentration Risk

All of the Trust’s assets are euro, which creates a concentration risk associated with fluctuations in the price of euro. Accordingly, a decline in the euro to USD exchange rate will have an adverse effect on the value of the Shares. Factors that may have the effect of causing a decline in the price of euro include national debt levels and trade deficits, domestic and foreign inflation rates, domestic and foreign interest rates, investment and trading activities of institutions and global or regional political, economic or financial events and situations. The price of euro has fluctuated widely over the past several years, and volatility has increased in recent months due, in part, to concern over the sovereign debt levels of certain European Union members and the potential impact of this debt on the composition of the European Union members and the value of the euro. Substantial sales of euro by the official sector (central banks, other governmental agencies and related institutions that buy, sell and hold euro as part of their reserve assets) could adversely affect an investment in the Shares. All of the Trust’s euro are held by the Depository. Accordingly, a risk associated with the concentration of the Trust’s assets in accounts held by a single financial institution exists and increases the potential for loss by the Trust and the Trust’s beneficiaries in the event that the Depository becomes insolvent.

 

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Sponsor is indemnified against any liability or expense it incurs without negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part. The Trust’s maximum exposure under this arrangement is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.

Trust Overview

The CurrencyShares ® Euro Trust (the “Trust”) is a grantor trust that was formed on December 5, 2005. The Trust issues shares (the “Shares”) in blocks of 50,000 (a “Basket”) in exchange for deposits of euro and distributes euro in connection with the redemption of Baskets. The Shares began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “FXE” on December 12, 2005. The primary listing of the Shares was transferred to NYSE Arca on October 30, 2007.

The investment objective of the Trust is for the Shares to reflect the price of the euro plus accrued interest, if any, less the expenses of the Trust’s operations. The Shares are intended to offer investors an opportunity to participate in the market for the euro through an investment in securities. The Shares are intended to provide institutional and retail investors with a simple, cost-effective means of gaining investment benefits similar to those of holding the euro. The Shares are bought and sold on NYSE Arca like any other exchange-listed security. The Shares are backed by the assets of the Trust, which does not hold or use derivative products. The Trust is a passive investment vehicle and does not have any officers, directors or employees. The Trust does not engage in any activities designed to obtain profit from, or ameliorate losses caused by, changes in the price of the euro. Investing in the Shares does not insulate the investor from certain risks, including price volatility.

Definition of Net Asset Value

The Trustee calculates, and the Sponsor publishes, the Trust’s Net Asset Value (“NAV”) each business day. To calculate the NAV, the Trustee adds to the amount of euro in the Trust at the end of the preceding day accrued but unpaid interest, if any, euro receivable under pending purchase orders and the value of other Trust assets, and subtracts the accrued but unpaid Sponsor’s fee, euro payable under pending redemption orders and other Trust expenses and liabilities, if any. The NAV is expressed in USD based on the euro/USD exchange rate as determined by The WM Company at 4:00 PM (London time / London fixing) (the “Closing Spot Rate”) on each day that NYSE Arca is open for regular trading. If, on a particular evaluation day, the Closing Spot Rate has not been determined and announced by 6:00 PM (London time), then the most recent Closing Spot Rate is used to determine the NAV of the Trust unless the Trustee, in consultation with the Sponsor, determines that such price is inappropriate to use as the basis for the valuation.

The Trustee also determines the NAV per Share, which equals the NAV of the Trust divided by the number of outstanding Shares. The NAV of the Trust and NAV per Share are published by the Sponsor on each day that NYSE Arca is open for regular trading and are posted on the Trust’s website, www.currencyshares.com.

Movements in the Price of Euro

The investment objective of the Trust is for the Shares to reflect the price in USD of the euro plus accrued interest, if any, less the expenses of the Trust’s operations. The Shares are intended to provide institutional and retail investors with a simple, cost-effective means of gaining investment benefits similar to those of holding euro. Each outstanding Share represents a proportional interest in the euro held by the Trust. The following chart provides recent trends on the price of euro. The chart illustrates movements in the price of euro in USD and is based on the Closing Spot Rate:

Liquidity

The Sponsor is not aware of any trends, demands, conditions or events that are reasonably likely to result in material changes to the Trust’s liquidity needs. The Trust’s Depository, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., London Branch, maintains two deposit accounts for the Trust, a primary deposit account that may earn interest and a secondary deposit account that does not earn interest. Interest on the primary deposit account, if any, accrues daily and is paid monthly. The interest rate in effect as of July 31, 2017 was an annual nominal rate of -0.40%. The following chart provides the daily rate paid by the Depository since July 31, 2012:

In exchange for a fee, the Sponsor bears most of the expenses incurred by the Trust. As a result, the only ordinary expense of the Trust during the period covered by this report was the Sponsor’s fee. Each month the Depository deposits into the secondary deposit account accrued but unpaid interest, if any, and the Trustee withdraws euro from the secondary deposit account to pay the accrued Sponsor’s fee for the previous month plus other Trust expenses, if any. When the interest deposited, if any, exceeds the sum of the Sponsor’s fee for the prior month plus other Trust expenses, if any, the Trustee converts the excess into USD at the prevailing market rate and distributes the USD as promptly as practicable to Shareholders on a pro-rata basis (in accordance with the number of Shares that they own). The Trust did not make any distributions during the quarter ended July 31, 2017.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Sponsor’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period covered by this report.

In addition to the description below, please refer to Note 2 to the financial statements for further discussion of our accounting policies.

The functional currency of the Trust is the euro in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Translation.

Results of Operations

As of October 31, 2016, the number of euro owned by the Trust was 243,299,556, resulting in a redeemable capital share value of $266,551,806. During the nine months ended July 31, 2017, an additional 7,900,000 Shares were created in exchange for 765,589,618 euro and 7,650,000 Shares were redeemed in exchange for 741,516,852 euro. In addition, 1,294,369 euro were withdrawn to pay the portion of the Sponsor’s fee that exceeded the interest earned. As of July 31, 2017, the number of euro owned by the Trust was 266,077,953, resulting in a redeemable capital Share value of $313,443,455.

An increase in the Trust’s redeemable capital Share value from $266,551,806 at October 31, 2016 to $313,443,455 at July 31, 2017, was primarily the result of an increase in the number of Shares outstanding from 2,500,000 at October 31, 2016 to 2,750,000 at July 31, 2017 coupled with an increase in the Closing Spot Rate from 1.0962 at October 31, 2016 to 1.1790 at July 31, 2017.

No interest income was earned during the three months ended July 31, 2016, the three months ended July 31, 2017, the nine months ended July 31, 2016 and the nine months ended July 31, 2017, due to an annual nominal interest rate which remained at or below 0% through those periods, as set forth in the chart above.

The Sponsor’s fee accrues daily at an annual nominal rate of 0.40% of the euro in the Trust. Due primarily to an increase in the weighted-average euro in the Trust, the Sponsor’s fee increased from $270,088 for the three months ended July 31, 2016 to $309,874 for the three months ended July 31, 2017. Due primarily to a decrease in the weighted-average euro in the Trust, the Sponsor’s fee in decreased from $1,000,541 for the nine months ended July 31, 2016 to $741,646 for the nine months ended July 31, 2017. Because the annual interest rate paid by the depository fell below 0% (as set forth in the chart above), the Trust incurred interest expense. Due primarily to an increase in the weighted-average euro in the Trust coupled with a further decline in the interest rate, interest expense increased from $278,025 for the three months ended July 31, 2016 to $320,533 for the three months ended July 31, 2017. Due primarily to a further decline in the interest rate, but partially offset by a decrease in the weighted-average euro in the Trust, interest expense increased from $751,273 for the nine months ended July 31, 2016 to $761,507 for the nine months ended July 31, 2017. The only expenses of the Trust during the three months and nine months ended July 31, 2017 were the Sponsor’s fee and interest expense.

The Trust’s net loss for the three months ended July 31, 2017 was $630,407 due to the Sponsor’s fee of $309,874 and interest expense of $320,533 exceeding interest income of $0. The Trust’s net loss for the nine months ended July 31, 2017 was $1,503,153 due to the Sponsor’s fee of $741,646 and interest expense of $761,507 exceeding interest income of $0.

Cash dividends were not paid by the Trust for the three months ended July 31, 2016, the three months ended July 31, 2017, the nine months ended July 31, 2016 and the nine months ended July 31, 2017 as the Trust’s interest income did not exceed the Trust’s expenses during those periods.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Except as described above with respect to fluctuations in the euro/USD exchange rate and changes in the nominal annual interest rate paid by the Depository on euro held by the Trust, the Trust is not subject to market risk.  The Trust does not hold securities and does not invest in derivative products.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Trust maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) designed to ensure that material information relating to the Trust is recorded, processed and disclosed on a timely basis. The Trust’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed by or under the supervision of the Sponsor’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, who exercise oversight over the Trust as the Trust has no officers. The chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the Sponsor have evaluated the effectiveness of the Trust’s disclosure controls and procedures as of July 31, 2017. Based on that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the Sponsor have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures of the Trust were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

There were no changes in the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Trust’s last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting.

GLOBAL AMENDMENT

to

DEPOSITARY TRUST AGREEMENTS

This Global Amendment to Depositary Trust Agreements (this “ Amendment ”) dated as of September 5, 2017 is between Guggenheim Specialized Products, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company d/b/a Guggenheim Investments, as sponsor of the Trusts identified below (the “ Sponsor ”), and The Bank of New York Mellon, a New York banking corporation, in its capacity as the trustee for each such Trust (the “ Trustee ”).

WHEREAS, the Sponsor and the Trustee have entered into the following Depositary Trust Agreements (each an “ Agreement ” and collectively the “ Agreements ”) establishing the trusts indicated (each a “ Trust ” and collectively the “ Trusts ”):

 

  a) Depositary Trust Agreement dated June 8, 2006, establishing the CurrencyShares ® Australian Dollar Trust, as such agreement has been amended to the date hereof (the “ FXA Agreement ”);

  c) Depositary Trust Agreement dated June 8, 2006, establishing the CurrencyShares ® Canadian Dollar Trust, as such agreement has been amended to the date hereof (the “ FXC Agreement ”);

 

  d) Depositary Trust Agreement dated August 16, 2011, establishing the CurrencyShares ® Chinese Renminbi Trust, as such agreement has been amended to the date hereof (the “ FXCH Agreement ”);

  i) Depositary Trust Agreement dated June 8, 2006, establishing the CurrencyShares ® Swiss Franc Trust, as such agreement has been amended to the date hereof (the “ FXF Agreement ”).

WHEREAS, Section 8.1 of each Agreement provides substantially as follows with respect to the amendment of such Agreement:

The Trustee and the Sponsor may amend any provisions of this Agreement without the consent of any Registered Owner; provided, however, that the provisions of Section 2.6, Section 2.7, Section 2.10, Section 4.2 through Section 4.7, this Section 8.1 and Section 8.2 may not be amended unless (i) the provision relates solely to procedural or logistical matters (as distinguished from core economic rights), or (ii) prior to the amendment, (a) the Sponsor obtains and delivers to the Trustee a written opinion of counsel to the effect that after such amendment the Trust will continue to be classified as a “grantor trust” under the Code, and (b) in the event that such opinion of counsel assumes that certain actions are taken by the Sponsor or the Trustee in connection with such amendment, such actions shall be taken by the Sponsor or the Trustee, as the case may be. Any amendment that imposes or increases any fees or charges (other than taxes and other governmental charges, registration fees or other such expenses), or that otherwise prejudices any substantial existing right of the Registered Owners, will not become effective as to outstanding Shares until 30 days after notice of such amendment is given to the Registered Owners. Every Registered Owner and Beneficial Owner, at the time any amendment so becomes effective, shall be deemed, by continuing to hold any Shares or an interest therein, to consent and agree to such amendment and to be bound by this

Agreement as amended thereby. In no event shall any amendment impair the right of the Registered Owner of Shares to Surrender Baskets of Shares and receive therefor the amount of Trust Property represented thereby, except in order to comply with mandatory provisions of applicable law.

WHEREAS, in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 8.1 of each Agreement, the amendments contemplated herein shall be effective upon the execution of this Amendment by the Sponsor and Trustee, and no further action shall be required;

WHEREAS, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) has adopted an amendment to Rule 15c6-1(a) to shorten by one business day the standard settlement cycle for most broker-dealer transactions; and

CREATION AND REDEMPTION OF AUSTRALIAN DOLLAR SHARES AND

RELATED AUSTRALIAN DOLLAR TRANSACTIONS

Scope of Procedures and Overview

These procedures (the “ Procedures ”) describe the processes by which one or more Baskets of Australian Dollar Trust shares (the “ Shares ”) issuable by The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “ Trustee ”) of the CurrencyShares ® Australian Dollar Trust (the “ Trust ”), may be purchased or, once Shares have been issued, redeemed by an Authorized Participant. Shares may be created or redeemed only in blocks of 50,000 Shares (each such block, a “ Basket ”). Because the issuance and redemption of Baskets also involve the transfer of Australian Dollars between the Authorized Participant and the Trust, certain processes relating to the underlying transfers of Australian Dollars also are described.

Under these Procedures, Baskets may be issued only in consideration for Australian Dollars transferred to and held in the Trust’s accounts maintained in London, England by the London Branch of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as depository (the “ Depository ”). Capitalized terms used in these Procedures without further definition have the meanings assigned to them in the Depositary Trust Agreement, dated as of June 8, 2006, between Rydex Specialized Products LLC, succeeded by Guggenheim Specialized Products, LLC (the “ Sponsor ”), the Trustee, the registered owners and beneficial owners from time to time of Shares issued thereunder and all depositors (the “ Trust Agreement ”), or the Participant Agreement entered into by each Authorized Participant with the Sponsor and the Trustee.

For purposes of these Procedures, a “ NY Business Day ” is defined as any day other than (i) a Saturday or Sunday or (ii) a day on which NYSE Arca is not open for regular trading at noon New York City time; a “ Local Business Day ” is defined as any day other than (i) a Saturday or Sunday or (ii) a day which has been designated a bank holiday in Australia.

Baskets are issued pursuant to the Prospectus, which will be delivered by the Sponsor to each Authorized Participant prior to its execution of the Participant Agreement, and are issued and redeemed in accordance with the Trust Agreement and the Participant Agreement. Baskets may be issued and redeemed on any Business Day by the Trustee in exchange for Australian Dollars, which the Trustee receives from Authorized Participants or transfers to Authorized Participants, in each case on behalf of the Trust. Authorized Participants will be required to pay a nonrefundable per order transaction fee of $500 to the Trustee. Also, in connection with each Purchase Order and Redemption Order (each as defined below) for two or more Baskets, the Authorized Participant shall pay an additional transaction fee, as follows:

 

Baskets Created or Redeemed Per Order

      

Additional Transaction Fee

 

2

     $ 500  

3

     $ 1,000  

4

     $ 1,500  

5 or more

     $ 2,000  

The additional transaction fee described above shall be remitted to the Authorized Participant to the Trustee in accordance with these Procedures. The Trustee shall then remit payment of the additional transaction fee to the Sponsor. The fees described above shall collectively be referred to herein as “ Transaction Fees ”.

Authorized Participants and the Trust Transfer Australian Dollars and Baskets

Upon acceptance of the Participant Agreement by the Sponsor and the Trustee, the Trustee will assign a personal identification number (a “ PIN ”) to each person authorized to act for the Authorized Participant (an “ Authorized Person ”). This will allow the Authorized Participant through its Authorized Person(s) to place Purchase Order(s) or Redemption Order(s) (each as defined herein and, together, “ Orders ”) for Baskets.

Important Notes:

Any Order is subject to rejection by the Trustee for the reasons set forth in the Trust Agreement.

In order for the creation of a Basket to occur, the Authorized Participant must transfer to the Trust Australian Dollars and the Trustee will transfer to the Authorized Participant’s account at The Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”) Baskets corresponding to the Australian Dollars the Participant has transferred to the Trust.

CREATION AND REDEMPTION OF CANADIAN DOLLAR SHARES AND RELATED

CANADIAN DOLLAR TRANSACTIONS

Scope of Procedures and Overview

These procedures (the “ Procedures ”) describe the processes by which one or more Baskets of Canadian Dollar Trust shares (the “ Shares ”) issuable by The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “ Trustee ”) of the CurrencyShares ® Canadian Dollar Trust (the “ Trust ”), may be purchased or, once Shares have been issued, redeemed by an Authorized Participant. Shares may be created or redeemed only in blocks of 50,000 Shares (each such block, a “ Basket ”). Because the issuance and redemption of Baskets also involve the transfer of Canadian Dollars between the Authorized Participant and the Trust, certain processes relating to the underlying transfers of Canadian Dollars also are described.

Under these Procedures, Baskets may be issued only in consideration for Canadian Dollars transferred to and held in the Trust’s accounts maintained in London, England by the London Branch of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as depository (the “ Depository ”). Capitalized terms used in these Procedures without further definition have the meanings assigned to them in the Depositary Trust Agreement, dated as of June 8, 2006, between Rydex Specialized Products LLC, succeeded by Guggenheim Specialized Products, LLC (the “ Sponsor ”), the Trustee, the registered owners and beneficial owners from time to time of Shares issued thereunder and all depositors (the “ Trust Agreement ”), or the Participant Agreement entered into by each Authorized Participant with the Sponsor and the Trustee.

For purposes of these Procedures, a “ Business Day ” is defined as any day other than (i) a Saturday or Sunday or (ii) a day on which the New York Stock Exchange (the “ NYSE ”) is not open for regular trading at noon New York City time; and a “ Local Business Day ” is defined as any day other than (i) a Saturday or Sunday or (ii) a day which has been designated a bank holiday in Toronto.

Baskets are issued pursuant to the Prospectus, which will be delivered by the Sponsor to each Authorized Participant prior to its execution of the Participant Agreement, and are issued and redeemed in accordance with the Trust Agreement and the Participant Agreement. Baskets may be issued and redeemed on any Business Day by the Trustee in exchange for Canadian Dollars, which the Trustee receives from Authorized Participants or transfers to Authorized Participants, in each case on behalf of the Trust. Authorized Participants will be required to pay a nonrefundable per order transaction fee of $500 to the Trustee. Also, in connection with each Purchase Order and Redemption Order (each as defined below) for two or more Baskets, the Authorized Participant shall pay an additional transaction fee, as follows:

 

Baskets Created or Redeemed Per Order

      

Additional Transaction Fee

 

2

     $ 500  

3

     $ 1,000  

4

     $ 1,500  

5 or more

     $ 2,000  

The additional transaction fee described above shall be remitted to the Authorized Participant to the Trustee in accordance with these Procedures. The Trustee shall then remit payment of the additional transaction fee to the Sponsor. The fees described above shall collectively be referred to herein as “ Transaction Fees ”.

Authorized Participants and the Trust Transfer Canadian Dollars and Baskets

Upon acceptance of the Participant Agreement by the Sponsor and the Trustee, the Trustee will assign a personal identification number (a “ PIN ”) to each person authorized to act for the Authorized Participant (an “Authorized Person”). This will allow the Authorized Participant through its Authorized Person(s) to place Purchase Order(s) or Redemption Order(s) (each as defined herein and, together, “ Orders ”) for Baskets.

 

26


Important Notes:

Any Order is subject to rejection by the Trustee for the reasons set forth in the Trust Agreement.

All Orders are subject to the provisions of the Participant Agreement relating to unclear or ambiguous instructions.

CREATION AND REDEMPTION OF EURO SHARES AND RELATED EURO

TRANSACTIONS

Scope of Procedures and Overview

These procedures (the “ Procedures ”) describe the processes by which one or more Baskets of Euro Trust shares (the “ Shares ”) issuable by The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “ Trustee ”) of the CurrencyShares ® Euro Trust (the “ Trust ”), may be purchased or, once Shares have been issued, redeemed by an Authorized Participant. Shares may be created or redeemed only in blocks of 50,000 Shares (each such block, a “ Basket ”). Because the issuance and redemption of Baskets also involve the transfer of Euro between the Authorized Participant and the Trust, certain processes relating to the underlying transfers of Euro also are described.

Under these Procedures, Baskets may be issued only in consideration for Euro transferred to and held in the Trust’s accounts maintained in London, England by the London Branch of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as depository (the “ Depository ”). Capitalized terms used in these Procedures without further definition have the meanings assigned to them in the Depositary Trust Agreement, dated as of December 2, 2005, between Rydex Specialized Products LLC, succeeded by Guggenheim Specialized Products, LLC (the “ Sponsor ”), the Trustee, the registered owners and beneficial owners from time to time of Shares issued thereunder and all depositors (the “ Trust Agreement ”), or the Participant Agreement entered into by each Authorized Participant with the Sponsor and the Trustee.

For purposes of these Procedures, a “ Business Day ” is defined as any day other than (i) a Saturday or Sunday or (ii) a day on which the New York Stock Exchange (the “ NYSE ”) is not open for regular trading at noon New York City time; and a “ Local Business Day ” is defined as any day other than (i) a Saturday or Sunday or (ii) a day which has been designated a bank holiday in Frankfurt.

Baskets are issued pursuant to the Prospectus, which will be delivered by the Sponsor to each Authorized Participant prior to its execution of the Participant Agreement, and are issued and redeemed in accordance with the Trust Agreement and the Participant Agreement. Baskets may be issued and redeemed on any Business Day by the Trustee in exchange for Euro, which the Trustee receives from Authorized Participants or transfers to Authorized Participants, in each case on behalf of the Trust. Authorized Participants will be required to pay a nonrefundable per order transaction fee of $500 to the Trustee. Also, in connection with each Purchase Order and Redemption Order (each as defined below) for two or more Baskets, the Authorized Participant shall pay an additional transaction fee, as follows:

 

Baskets Created or Redeemed Per Order

      

Additional Transaction Fee

 

2

     $ 500  

3

     $ 1,000  

4

     $ 1,500  

5 or more

     $ 2,000  

The additional transaction fee described above shall be remitted to the Authorized Participant to the Trustee in accordance with these Procedures. The Trustee shall then remit payment of the additional transaction fee to the Sponsor. The fees described above shall collectively be referred to herein as “ Transaction Fees ”.

Authorized Participants and the Trust Transfer Euro and Baskets

Upon acceptance of the Participant Agreement by the Sponsor and the Trustee, the Trustee will assign a personal identification number (a “ PIN ”) to each person authorized to act for the Authorized Participant (an “Authorized Person”). This will allow the Authorized Participant through its Authorized Person(s) to place Purchase Order(s) or Redemption Order(s) (each as defined herein and, together, “ Orders ”) for Baskets.

Important Notes:

Any Order is subject to rejection by the Trustee for the reasons set forth in the Trust Agreement.

All Orders are subject to the provisions of the Participant Agreement relating to unclear or ambiguous instructions.

These procedures (the “ Procedures ”) describe the processes by which one or more Baskets of Japanese Yen Trust shares (the “ Shares ”) issuable by The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “ Trustee ”) of the CurrencyShares ® Japanese Yen Trust (the “ Trust ”), may be purchased or, once Shares have been issued, redeemed by an Authorized Participant. Shares may be created or redeemed only in blocks of 50,000 Shares (each such block, a “ Basket ”). Because the issuance and redemption of Baskets also involve the transfer of Japanese Yen between the Authorized Participant and the Trust, certain processes relating to the underlying transfers of Japanese Yen also are described.

Under these Procedures, Baskets may be issued only in consideration for Japanese Yen transferred to and held in the Trust’s accounts maintained in London, England by the London Branch of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as depository (the “ Depository ”). Capitalized terms used in these Procedures without further definition have the meanings assigned to them in the Depositary Trust Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2007, between Rydex Specialized Products LLC, succeeded by Guggenheim Specialized Products, LLC (the “ Sponsor ”), the Trustee, the registered owners and beneficial owners from time to time of Shares issued thereunder and all depositors (the “ Trust Agreement ”), or the Participant Agreement entered into by each Authorized Participant with the Sponsor and the Trustee.

For purposes of these Procedures, a “ NY Business Day ” is defined as any day other than (i) a Saturday or Sunday or (ii) a day on which the New York Stock Exchange (the “ NYSE ”) is not open for regular trading at noon New York City time; a “ Local Business Day ” is defined as any day other than (i) a Saturday or Sunday or (ii) a day which has been designated a bank holiday in Japan.

Baskets are issued pursuant to the Prospectus, which will be delivered by the Sponsor to each Authorized Participant prior to its execution of the Participant Agreement, and are issued and redeemed in accordance with the Trust Agreement and the Participant Agreement. Baskets may be issued and redeemed on any Business Day by the Trustee in exchange for Japanese Yen, which the Trustee receives from Authorized Participants or transfers to Authorized Participants, in each case on behalf of the Trust. Authorized Participants will be required to pay a nonrefundable per order transaction fee of $500 to the Trustee. Also, in connection with each Purchase Order and Redemption Order (each as defined below) for two or more Baskets, the Authorized Participant shall pay an additional transaction fee, as follows:

 

Baskets Created or Redeemed Per Order

      

Additional Transaction Fee

3

     $ 1,000  

4

     $ 1,500

The Trustee shall then remit payment of the additional transaction fee to the Sponsor. The fees described above shall collectively be referred to herein as “ Transaction Fees ”.

Authorized Participants and the Trust Transfer Japanese Yen and Baskets

Upon acceptance of the Participant Agreement by the Sponsor and the Trustee, the Trustee will assign a personal identification number (a “ PIN ”) to each person authorized to act for the Authorized Participant (an “ Authorized Person ”). This will allow the Authorized Participant through its Authorized Person(s) to place Purchase Order(s) or Redemption Order(s) (each as defined herein and, together, “ Orders ”) for Baskets.

CREATION AND REDEMPTION OF SWEDISH KRONA SHARES AND RELATED

SWEDISH KRONOR TRANSACTIONS

Scope of Procedures and Overview

These procedures (the “ Procedures ”) describe the processes by which one or more Baskets of Swedish Krona Trust shares (the “ Shares ”) issuable by The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “ Trustee ”) of the CurrencyShares ® Swedish Krona Trust (the “ Trust ”), may be purchased or, once Shares have been issued, redeemed by an Authorized Participant. Shares may be created or redeemed only in blocks of 50,000 Shares (each such block, a “ Basket ”). Because the issuance and redemption of Baskets also involve the transfer of Swedish Kronor between the Authorized Participant and the Trust, certain processes relating to the underlying transfers of Swedish Kronor also are described.

Under these Procedures, Baskets may be issued only in consideration for Swedish Kronor transferred to and held in the Trust’s accounts maintained in London, England by the London Branch of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as depository (the “ Depository ”). Capitalized terms used in these Procedures without further definition have the meanings assigned to them in the Depositary Trust Agreement, dated as of June 8, 2006, between Rydex Specialized Products LLC, succeeded by Guggenheim Specialized Products, LLC (the “ Sponsor ”), the Trustee, the registered owners and beneficial owners from time to time of Shares issued thereunder and all depositors (the “ Trust Agreement ”), or the Participant Agreement entered into by each Authorized Participant with the Sponsor and the Trustee.

For purposes of these Procedures, a “ Business Day ” is defined as any day other than (i) a Saturday or Sunday or (ii) a day on which the New York Stock Exchange (the “ NYSE ”) is not open for regular trading at noon New York City time; and a “ Local Business Day ” is defined as any day other than (i) a Saturday or Sunday or (ii) a day which has been designated a bank holiday in Stockholm.

Baskets are issued pursuant to the Prospectus, which will be delivered by the Sponsor to each Authorized Participant prior to its execution of the Participant Agreement, and are issued and redeemed in accordance with the Trust Agreement and the Participant Agreement. Baskets may be issued and redeemed on any Business Day by the Trustee in exchange for Swedish Krona, which the Trustee receives from Authorized Participants or transfers to Authorized Participants, in each case on behalf of the Trust. Authorized Participants will be required to pay a nonrefundable per order transaction fee of $500 to the Trustee. Also, in connection with each Purchase Order and Redemption Order (each as defined below) for two or more Baskets, the Authorized Participant shall pay an additional transaction fee, as follows:

 

Baskets Created or Redeemed Per Order

      

Additional Transaction Fee

 

2

     $ 500  

3

     $ 1,000  

4

     $ 1,500  

5 or more

     $ 2,000  

The additional transaction fee described above shall be remitted to the Authorized Participant to the Trustee in accordance with these Procedures. The Trustee shall then remit payment of the additional transaction fee to the Sponsor. The fees described above shall collectively be referred to herein as “ Transaction Fees ”.

Authorized Participants and the Trust Transfer Swedish Kronor and Baskets

Upon acceptance of the Participant Agreement by the Sponsor and the Trustee, the Trustee will assign a personal identification number (a “ PIN ”) to each person authorized to act for the Authorized Participant (an “Authorized Person”). This will allow the Authorized Participant through its Authorized Person(s) to place Purchase Order(s) or Redemption Order(s) (each as defined herein and, together, “ Orders ”) for Baskets.

Any Order is subject to rejection by the Trustee for the reasons set forth in the Trust Agreement.

CREATION AND REDEMPTION OF SWISS FRANC SHARES AND RELATED SWISS

FRANC TRANSACTIONS

Scope of Procedures and Overview

These procedures (the “ Procedures ”) describe the processes by which one or more Baskets of Swiss Franc Trust shares (the “ Shares ”) issuable by The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “ Trustee ”) of the CurrencyShares ® Swiss Franc Trust (the “ Trust ”), may be purchased or, once Shares have been issued, redeemed by an Authorized Participant. Shares may be created or redeemed only in blocks of 50,000 Shares (each such block, a “ Basket ”). Because the issuance and redemption of Baskets also involve the transfer of Swiss Francs between the Authorized Participant and the Trust, certain processes relating to the underlying transfers of Swiss Francs also are described.

Under these Procedures, Baskets may be issued only in consideration for Swiss Francs transferred to and held in the Trust’s accounts maintained in London, England by the London Branch of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as depository (the “ Depository ”). Capitalized terms used in these Procedures without further definition have the meanings assigned to them in the Depositary Trust Agreement, dated as of June 8, 2006, between Rydex Specialized Products LLC, succeeded by Guggenheim Specialized Products, LLC (the “ Sponsor ”), the Trustee, the registered owners and beneficial owners from time to time of Shares issued thereunder and all depositors (the “ Trust Agreement ”), or the Participant Agreement entered into by each Authorized Participant with the Sponsor and the Trustee.

For purposes of these Procedures, a “ Business Day ” is defined as any day other than (i) a Saturday or Sunday or (ii) a day on which the New York Stock Exchange (the “ NYSE ”) is not open for regular trading at noon New York City time; and a “ Local Business Day ” is defined as any day other than (i) a a Saturday or Sunday or (ii) a day which has been designated a bank holiday in Zurich.

Baskets are issued pursuant to the Prospectus, which will be delivered by the Sponsor to each Authorized Participant prior to its execution of the Participant Agreement, and are issued and redeemed in accordance with the Trust Agreement and the Participant Agreement. Baskets may be issued and redeemed on any Business Day by the Trustee in exchange for Swiss Francs, which the Trustee receives from Authorized Participants or transfers to Authorized Participants, in each case on behalf of the Trust. Authorized Participants will be required to pay a nonrefundable per order transaction fee of $500 to the Trustee. Also, in connection with each Purchase Order and Redemption Order (each as defined below) for two or more Baskets, the Authorized Participant shall pay an additional transaction fee, as follows:

 

Baskets Created or Redeemed Per Order

      

Additional Transaction Fee

 

2

     $ 500  

3

     $ 1,000  

4

     $ 1,500  

5 or more

     $ 2,000  

The additional transaction fee described above shall be remitted to the Authorized Participant to the Trustee in accordance with these Procedures. The Trustee shall then remit payment of the additional transaction fee to the Sponsor. The fees described above shall collectively be referred to herein as “ Transaction Fees ”.

Authorized Participants and the Trust Transfer Swiss Francs and Baskets

Upon acceptance of the Participant Agreement by the Sponsor and the Trustee, the Trustee will assign a personal identification number (a “ PIN ”) to each person authorized to act for the Authorized Participant (an “Authorized Person”). This will allow the Authorized Participant through its Authorized Person(s) to place Purchase Order(s) or Redemption Order(s) (each as defined herein and, together, “ Orders ”) for Baskets.

Important Notes:

Any Order is subject to rejection by the Trustee for the reasons set forth in the Trust Agreement.

All Orders are subject to the provisions of the Participant Agreement relating to unclear or ambiguous instructions.
