Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of
Claymore Exchange-Traded Fund Trust
We have examined management's assertion, included in the accompanying Management
Statement Regarding Compliance With Certain Provisions of the Investment Company
Act of 1940, that Claymore U.S.-1 - The Capital Markets Index ETF, Claymore U.S.
Capital Markets Bond ETF, and Claymore U.S. Capital Markets Micro-Term Fixed
Income ETF (the "Funds"), of the Claymore Exchange-Traded Fund Trust, complied
with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of rule 17f-2 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act") as of May 28, 2008. Management is
responsible for the Funds' compliance with those requirements. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertion about the
Funds' compliance based on our examination.
Our examination was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included
examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Funds' compliance with those
requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in
the circumstances. Included among our procedures were the following tests
performed as of May 28, 2008, and with respect to agreement of security
purchases and sales, for the period from February 12, 2008 (inception) through
May 28, 2008:
o Confirmation of all securities held by institutions in book entry form with
Depository Trust Company;
o Reconciliation of all such securities and investments to the books and
records of the Funds and Bank of New York - Mellon, the Custodian; and
o Agreement of 9 security purchases and 9 security sales or maturities from
the books and records of the Funds to cash settlement.
We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our
examination does not provide a legal determination on the Funds' compliance with
specified requirements.
In our opinion, management's assertion that Funds complied with the requirements
of subsections (b) and (c) of rule 17f-2 of the Act as of May 28, 2008, with
respect to securities reflected in the investment accounts of the Funds is
fairly stated, in all material respects.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the
Board of Trustees of Claymore Exchange-Traded Trust and the Securities and
Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone
other than these specified parties.

over compliance with those requirements. We have performed an evaluation of the

as of May 28, 2008, and from February 12, 2008 (inception) through May 28, 2008.
Based on this evaluation, we assert that the Funds were in compliance with the
requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of rule 17f-2 of the Act as of May 28,
2008, and from February 12, 2008 (inception) through May 28, 2008, with respect
to securities reflected in the investment accounts of the Funds.
