2Guggenheim 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.

	Estimated Amounts of the Current Quarterly Distribution ($)			Estimated % Breakdown of the Current Quarterly Distribution			Estimated Amounts of theTotal Cumulative Distributions for the Fiscal Year to Date ($)			Estimated % Breakdown of the Total Cumulative Distributions for the Fiscal Year to Date
Net Investment Income	$	0.0221			5.05	%	$	0.2669			20.33	%
Net Realized Short Term Capital Gains		-			-			-			-
Net Realized Long Term Capital Gains	$	0.3513			80.30	%	$	0.5773			43.99	%
Return of Capital	$	0.0641			14.65	%	$	0.4683			35.68	%
Total Distribution	$	0.4375			100.00	%	$	1.3125			100.00	%

If the Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income and net realized capital gains, 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 distribution rates.

Average annual total return (in relation to NAV) for the period since inception (October 27, 2011) to September 30, 2016		7.90	%
Annualized current distribution rate expressed as a percentage of NAV as of September 30, 2016		9.59	%
Cumulative total return (in relation to NAV) for the fiscal year through September 30, 2016		6.37	%
Cumulative fiscal year distributions as a percentage of NAV as of September 30, 2016		7.20	%

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.

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. Unless otherwise noted, the distributions above are not anticipated to include a 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 a 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 2016 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.
