Our Analysis:


ETF: Our recommendation for an ETF that best racks the NYSE Arca Airline Index 'XAL' is the Claymoore/NYSE Arca Airline ETF 'FAA.'

ETF Description: Claymore/NYSE Arca Airline ETF (the Fund) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance of an equity index called the NYSE Arca Global Airline Index (the Index). The Index is a modified equal-dollar weighted Index designed to measure the performance of highly capitalized and liquid United States and international passenger airline companies identified as being in the airline industry, and listed on developed and emerging global market exchanges. The Fund's index provider is Archipelago Holdings Inc. (Arca), an affiliate of NYSE Euronext, Inc. The Fund will at all times invest at least 80% of its total assets in common stock, American depositary receipts (ADRs) and global depositary receipts (GDRs) that comprise the Index and investments that have economic characteristics that are substantially identical to the economic characteristics of the component securities that comprise the Index. Claymore Advisors, LLC acts as the Fund's investment adviser.
