DEAR SHAREHOLDER

We thank you for your investment in the Advent/Claymore Enhanced Growth & Income Fund (the “Fund”). This report covers the Fund’s performance for the 12 months ended October 31, 2014.

Advent Capital Management, LLC (“Advent” or the “Investment Manager”) serves as the Fund’s investment manager. Based in New York, New York, with additional investment personnel in London, England, Advent is a credit-oriented firm specializing in the management of global convertible, high-yield and equity securities across three lines of business—long-only strategies, hedge funds and closed-end funds. As of October 31, 2014, Advent managed approximately $8.2 billion in assets.

Guggenheim Funds Investment Advisors, LLC (the “Investment Adviser”) serves as the investment adviser to the Fund. The Investment Adviser is an affiliate of Guggenheim Partners, LLC, a global diversified financial services firm.

The Fund’s primary investment objective is to seek current income and current gains from trading in securities, with a secondary objective of long-term capital appreciation. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 70% of its managed assets in a diversified portfolio of equity securities and convertible securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers, and up to 30% of its managed assets in non-convertible high-yield securities. Additionally, the Fund engages in a strategy of writing (selling) covered call options on a portion of the securities held in the Fund’s portfolio, thus generating option writing premiums. The Board of Trustees approved changes to the Fund’s non-fundamental investment policies that will become effective in January 2015. Please see the question-and-answer section following for more information.

Advent seeks international investment opportunities in each asset class, with an emphasis on large multinational companies. Appreciation potential is provided by investments in convertibles and common stock, while the allocation to high-yield securities is primarily a source of income. The balance between convertible securities, equities and high-yield securities, and the degree to which the Fund engages in a covered call strategy, will vary from time to time based on security valuations, interest rates, equity market volatility and other economic and market factors.

All Fund returns cited—whether based on net asset value (“NAV”) or market price—assume the reinvestment of all distributions. For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2014, the Fund generated a total return based on market price of 2.90% and a return of 1.58% based on NAV. As of October 31, 2014, the Fund’s market price of $9.51 represented a discount of 12.51% to NAV of $10.87.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. The Fund’s NAV performance data reflects fees and expenses of the Fund. The market price of the Fund’s shares fluctuates from time to time, and it may be higher or lower than the Fund’s NAV.

The Fund paid a quarterly distribution of $0.210 in November 2013, February 2014, May 2014 and August 2014. The most recent dividend represents an annualized distribution rate of 8.83% based on the Fund’s market price on October 31, 2014.

DEAR SHAREHOLDER (Unaudited) continued	October 31, 2014

There is no guarantee of any future distributions or that the current returns and distribution rate will be maintained.

We encourage shareholders to consider the opportunity to reinvest their distributions from the Fund through the Dividend Reinvestment Plan (“DRIP”), which is described in detail on page 33 of this report. When shares trade at a discount to NAV, the DRIP takes advantage of the discount by reinvesting the quarterly dividend distribution in common shares of the Fund purchased in the market at a price less than NAV. Conversely, when the market price of the Fund’s common shares is at a premium above NAV, the DRIP reinvests participants’ dividends in newly-issued common shares at the greater of NAV per share or 95% of the market price per share. The DRIP provides a cost-effective means to accumulate additional shares and enjoy the benefits of compounding returns over time.

The Fund is managed by a team of experienced and seasoned professionals led by myself in my capacity as Chief Investment Officer (as well as President and Founder) of Advent Capital Management, LLC. We encourage you to read the following Questions & Answers section, which provides additional information regarding the factors that influenced the Fund’s performance.

We thank you for your investment in the Fund and we are honored that you have chosen the Advent/Claymore Enhanced Growth & Income Fund as part of your investment portfolio.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS (Unaudited)	October 31, 2014

Advent/Claymore Enhanced Growth & Income Fund (the “Fund”) is managed by a team of seasoned professionals at Advent Capital Management, LLC (“Advent” or the “Investment Manager”), led by Tracy V. Maitland, Advent’s Founder, President and Chief Investment Officer. In the following interview, the management team discusses the equity, convertible securities and high-yield markets and the performance during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2014.

Please describe the Fund’s objectives and management strategies in place on October 31, 2014.

The Fund’s primary investment objective is to seek current income and current gains from trading in securities, with a secondary objective of long-term capital appreciation. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 70% of its managed assets in a diversified portfolio of equity securities and convertible securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers, and up to 30% of its managed assets in non-convertible high-yield securities. Advent seeks international investment opportunities in each asset class, with an emphasis on large multinational companies. The Fund’s investments in convertibles and common stock provide capital appreciation potential, while the allocation to high-yield securities is primarily a source of income.

The Fund also uses a strategy of writing (selling) covered call options, but the percentage of positions to be written against can vary. As the percentage increases, the risks associated with covered call option writing also increase, and the Fund may also limit its ability to benefit from capital appreciation in holdings on which options have been written. In addition, the Fund may invest in other derivatives, such as foreign exchange currency contracts, futures contracts and swaps.

The Fund uses financial leverage to finance the purchase of additional securities. Although financial leverage may create an opportunity for increased return for shareholders, it also results in additional risks and can magnify the effect of any losses. There is no assurance that the strategy will be successful. If income and gains earned on securities purchased with the financial leverage proceeds are greater than the cost of the financial leverage, shareholders’ return will be greater than if financial leverage had not been used. Conversely, if the income or gains from the securities purchased with the proceeds of financial leverage are less than the cost of the financial leverage, shareholders’ return will be less than if financial leverage had not been used.

Discuss the recent changes to Advent’s non-fundamental investment policies.

The Board of Trustees of the Fund and Advent’s other closed-end funds announced in the period that it had approved modifications to the Fund’s non-fundamental investment policies. These modifications are designed to expand the portfolio management flexibility of the Fund and may provide an opportunity to enhance shareholder value through the investment manager’s expanded investment capabilities and ability to manage risk.

Regarding the impact of the change in policies on the Fund, it will continue to pursue its primary investment objective to provide current income and current gains from trading in securities, and its secondary objective of long-term capital appreciation. Currently, the Fund must invest at least 70% of its managed assets in a diversified portfolio of equity securities and convertible securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers and may invest up to 30% of its managed assets in non-convertible high yield securities. Under the investment policy modification, the Fund will invest at least 40% of its managed assets in equity securities and convertible securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers and may invest up to 60% of its managed assets in non-convertible high yield securities. The Fund will continue to use a strategy of writing (selling) covered call options.

The investment policy modifications for the Fund will become effective on January 12, 2015.

Advent’s institutional strategies, which invest in the same asset classes as the Fund, have provided superior performance relative to applicable benchmarks. Accordingly, Advent is reallocating the Fund’s portfolio over time to establish a core portfolio of convertible bonds that will be managed, subject to the Fund’s investment policies and restrictions, in a manner similar to that of Advent’s Global Balanced Convertible Strategy. Advent’s Global Balanced Convertible Strategy seeks a high total return by investing in a portfolio of global convertible securities that provide equity-like returns while seeking to limit downside risk.

This core portfolio will be supplemented by investments in high yield securities selected in a manner similar to that of Advent’s High Yield Strategy. Advent’s High Yield Strategy seeks income and total return by investing primarily in high yielding corporate credit using fundamental and relative value analysis to identify undervalued securities.

Advent will use a separate portion of the Fund’s portfolio to increase or decrease relative overall exposure to convertible securities, high yield securities and equities. This portion of the Fund’s portfolio will incorporate leverage and operate as an asset allocation tool reflecting Advent’s conservative management philosophy and its views on the relative value of these three asset classes under changing market conditions.

Please describe the economic and market environment over the last 12 months.

Global equity and bond markets generally performed well for the twelve months ended October 31, 2014, although their levels of total return varied significantly across asset classes. Driving the variation was differing rates of economic growth.—U.S. macro conditions were satisfactorily high by most measures, despite a cold winter that chilled first quarter growth, as the

LCM l ADVENT/CLAYMORE ENHANCED GROWTH & INCOME FUND ANNUAL REPORT l 5


QUESTIONS & ANSWERS (Unaudited) continued	October 31, 2014

general recovery and progression to fuller employment and more capital spending gradually improved throughout the year. This situation was helped by continued though falling levels of bond purchases from the U.S. Federal Reserve. Activity decelerated in Europe, particularly in the summer, as internal demand seemed to fade on weak consumption made worse by geopolitical strife in regions peripheral to Western Europe. Economic progress also faded in some emerging markets such as China and Brazil, as some countries struggled with a broad move to have local consumption replace investment in sourcing GDP growth. Commodity prices across natural resources, precious metals, and even food items declined into the summer on the weaker global growth and rise in the U.S. dollar.

Asset prices showed greatest appreciation in the U.S. equity markets based on strong economic growth and corporate profits and an accommodative monetary environment. Global risk-free bond prices also provided strong gains on low inflation globally and some level of safe-haven demand on weaker economic growth. The hint of more quantitative easing in Europe and imposition of easing in Japan in the fall helped equity prices worldwide later in the fiscal year. Corporate bond prices gyrated during the year but generally returned the coupons in an overall flat price outcome from fiscal year beginning to end. By sectors, the best-performing were rate-sensitive or those sensitive to monetary easing such as real estate investment trusts or utilities. The worst-performing ones were materials and energy based on commodity price declines.

How did the Fund perform in this environment?

How has the Fund’s leverage strategy affected performance?

The Fund utilizes leverage as part of its investment strategy, to finance the purchase of additional securities that provide increased income and potentially greater appreciation potential to common shareholders than could be achieved from a portfolio that is not leveraged.

The Fund’s leverage outstanding as of October 31, 2014, including borrowings and reverse repurchase agreements or the issuance of commercial paper or other forms of debt, was $50 million, approximately 25% of the Fund’s total managed assets.

There is no guarantee that the Fund’s leverage strategy will be successful, and the Fund’s use of leverage may cause the Fund’s NAV and market price of common shares to be more volatile.

The Fund’s use of leverage remained unchanged in absolute dollars as the fiscal year progressed. The Fund’s total return, defined as the return inclusive of reinvested dividends, was slightly higher than the cost of that leverage for the fiscal year. Therefore, on a simple comparison, the use of leverage had a modestly enhancing effect on shareholder returns for the year.

What was the impact of the Fund’s covered call strategy?

The Fund continues to generate income through the strategy of writing or selling call options against holdings of equities and some convertible bonds. These positions allow the Fund to garner cash upfront in exchange for granting the counterparty or holder of the option the upside in the stock past the stated strike price. In the past year, the level of income or premiums derived from this strategy was lower than past years due to low volatilities of underlying equities, which was reflected in the price of options sold. For fiscal 2014, the CBOE SPX Volatility Index (VIX), a widely quoted barometer of option volatility, averaged approximately 14, below the average of about 15 in the prior year and 20 in the year before that.

For this reason, later in the fiscal year, the Fund refrained from selling as many call options, choosing to hold equity positions in traditional format with upside garnered on price appreciation. After the market correction in the month of September that raised fear factors and volatility levels, the Fund resumed selling call options into the end of the fiscal year.

How did related market measures perform in this environment?

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2014, the return of the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global 300 Convertible Index was 8.43%.

The return of the Bank of America Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index was 5.85%.

The CBOE S&P 500 2% OTM BuyWrite Index (BXY) returned 10.61%.

The Fund’s mandate differs materially from each of the individual indices. The Fund also maintains leverage and incurs transaction costs, advisory fees and other expenses, while these indices do not.

Please discuss the Fund’s distributions.

market price on October 31, 2014. There is no guarantee of any future distributions or that the current returns and distribution rate will be maintained.

How was the Fund’s portfolio allocated among asset classes during the 12 months ended October 31, 2014, and what did this mean for performance?

As of October 31, 2013, 80.3% of the Fund’s total investments were invested in convertible securities, with 76.5% in convertible bonds and 3.8% in convertible preferreds. Equity positions represented 17.6% and high yield corporate bonds 1.6% of total investments. The rest, 0.5%, was in cash and other investments.

As of October 31, 2014, 70.9% of the Fund’s total investments were invested in convertible securities, with 59.6% in convertible bonds and 11.3% in convertible preferreds. Equity positions represented 8.4% and high yield corporate bonds 20.3% of total investments. The rest, 0.4%, was in senior floating rate interests.

The change in asset allocation, primarily from a higher proportion invested in corporate bonds and less in equities and convertibles, reflects the better performance of equities in the period and decision to reallocate toward an asset class, corporate bonds, with higher upside at the end of the fiscal year, as corporate bonds went through multiple price corrections during the second half of the fiscal year. For similar reasons, the Fund’s comfort with duration risk led to a larger allocation to convertible preferred securities and their yield advantage.

International investments were 30% of the Fund’s long-term investments at October 31, 2014, compared to 26% at October 31, 2013. Investments in Europe increased relative to other geographies in the second half of the fiscal year as price declines in Europe with economies decelerating led to greater buying opportunities. Also, the reallocation of a portion of portfolio holdings in line with Advent’s Global Balanced Convertible Strategy, which is focused on global convertibles, further increased the Fund’s holdings of international investments.

Which investment decisions had the greatest effect on the Fund’s performance?

Among the large winners for the Fund over the last year were Micron Technology, Inc., InterMune, Inc. and Gilead Sciences, Inc.

Convertible bonds of memory semiconductor maker Micron Technology, Inc. (0.9% of long-term investments at period end) were a large contributor to return. The company enjoyed a positive fundamental year, with stable DRAM (Dynamic random access memory) prices helped by a rebounding PC market and the successful acquisition of a Japanese competitor.

Convertible bonds of InterMune, Inc. (not held in the portfolio at period end) were another large contributor to return. The drug maker had breakout sales of its pulmonary fibrosis drug, pirfenidone, and was later acquired by multinational drug company Roche for that asset.

Convertible bonds of Gilead Sciences, Inc. (0.6% of long-term investments at period end) were another top performer. The pharmaceutical company had breakout sales of the hepatitis-C treatment, Solvadi, and benefitted from anticipation of another hepatitis drug, Harvoni.

Among the leading detractors for the Fund over the last year were Yandex N.V., Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. and Lululemon Athletica, Inc.

Convertible bond prices of Yandex N.V., a Russian internet services provider (0.8% of long-term investments at period end), fell with the company’s exposure to the Russian market and geopolitical risk. The company continues to grow impressively and holds a high market share and with the bonds priced in U.S. dollars, we have added to the positions and feel there is both yield and equity upside.

Stock of Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc., a natural resources driller (not held in the portfolio at period end), fell along with many energy services suppliers, as a result of the drop in oil prices and the impending repricing of rig contracts.

Stock of Lululemon Athletica, Inc., an athletic apparel retailer (not held in the portfolio at period end) and another top detractor, fell after it experienced inventory problems and slowing growth, and the position was sold.

Do you have any other comments about the markets and the Fund?

Differential performance across global asset classes presents its usual unique set of circumstances to search for outsized future returns. The economic environment remains uncertain due to weak or weakening growth in many countries outside the U.S. However, corporate profit growth inside and outside the U.S. has remained resilient, and asset prices in some countries may be supported by further central bank monetary easing. Asset classes with prices not at recent peaks, such as high-yield corporate bonds, European equities, and commodities, present upside potential, but research will be required on the underlying issuers to ascertain price appreciation potential. Cooperation in the international trade realm among a number of groups of countries on free trade agreements emerged as a theme later in the fiscal year and may portend better conditions for global corporate entities in the coming years.

Index Definitions

Indices are unmanaged, do not use leverage, and do not experience fees, expenses or transaction costs and it is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global 300 Convertible Index measures the performance of convertible securities of issuers throughout the world.

Bank of America Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index is a commonly used benchmark index for high yield corporate bonds. It is a measure of the broad high yield market.

The CBOE S&P 500 2% OTM BuyWrite Index (BXY) uses the same methodology as the widely accepted CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite Index (BXM), but the BXY Index is calculated using out-of-the-money S&P 500 Index (SPX) call options, rather than at-the-money SPX call options. The BXY strategy diversifies the buy-write opportunities currently provided by the BXM. The BXY Index yields lower monthly premiums in return for a greater participation in the upside moves of the S&P 500. S&P 500 Index is a capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks. The index is designed to measure performance of the broad domestic economy through changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks representing all major industries.

VIX is the ticker symbol for the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index, a popular measure of the implied volatility of S&P 500 index options. It is a weighted blend of prices for a range of options on the S&P 500 index.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS	October 31, 2014

Note 1 – Organization:

Advent Claymore Enhanced Growth & Income Fund (the “Fund”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on January 30, 2004. The Fund is registered as a diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

The Fund’s primary investment objective is to seek current income and current gains from trading in securities, with a secondary objective of long-term capital appreciation. The Fund will pursue its investment objectives by investing its assets in dividend and interest paying equity securities, convertible securities and nonconvertible high-yield securities. Also, in pursuit of the Fund’s primary investment objective, the Fund intends to engage in an option strategy of writing (selling) covered call options.

Note 2 – Accounting Policies:

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund.

(a) Valuation of Investments

Equity securities listed on an exchange are valued at the last reported sale price on the primary exchange on which they are traded. Equity securities traded on an exchange or on the over-the-counter market and for which there are no transactions on a given day are valued at the mean of the closing bid and ask prices. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Equity securities not listed on a securities exchange or NASDAQ are valued at the mean of the closing bid and ask prices. Debt securities are valued by independent pricing services or dealers using the mean of the closing bid and ask prices for such securities or, if such prices are not available, at prices for securities of comparable maturity, quality and type. If sufficient market activity is limited or does not exist, the pricing providers or broker-dealers may utilize proprietary valuation models which consider market characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, option-adjusted spreads, credit spreads, estimated default rates, coupon rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral, or other unique security features in order to estimate relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate a security’s fair value. Exchange-traded funds and listed closed-end funds are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Exchange-traded options are valued at the closing price, if traded that day. If not traded, they are valued at the mean of the bid and ask prices on the primary exchange on which they are traded. Futures contracts are valued using the settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded. Swaps are valued daily by independent pricing services or dealers using the mid price. Forward exchange currency contracts are valued daily at current exchange rates. The Fund values money market funds at net asset value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

For those securities where quotations or prices are not available, the valuations are determined in accordance with procedures established in good faith by management and approved by the Board of Trustees. A valuation committee consisting of representatives from investment management, fund administration, legal and compliance is responsible for the oversight of the valuation process of the Fund and convenes monthly, or more frequently as needed. The valuation committee reviews monthly Level 3 fair valued securities methodology, price overrides, broker quoted securities, price source changes, illiquid securities, unchanged priced securities, halted securities, price challenges, fair valued securities sold and back testing trade prices in relation to prior day closing prices. On a quarterly basis, the valuations and methodologies of all Level 3 fair valued securities are presented to the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

Valuations in accordance with these procedures are intended to reflect each security’s (or asset’s) fair value. Such fair value is the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security (or asset) upon its current sale. Each such determination is based on a consideration of all relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one security to another. Examples of such factors may include, but are not limited to: (i) the type of security, (ii) the initial cost of the security, (iii) the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, (iv) the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies, (v) quotations or evaluated prices from broker-dealers and/or pricing services, (vi) information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange traded securities), (vii) an analysis of the company’s financial statements, and (viii) an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold (e.g. the existence of pending merger activity, public offerings or tender offers that might affect the value of the security). There were no securities fair valued in accordance with such procedures established by the Board of Trustees as of October 31, 2014.

GAAP requires disclosure of fair valuation measurements as of each measurement date. In compliance with GAAP, the Fund follows a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and the Fund’s own market assumptions (unobservable inputs). These inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments and summarized in the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2 – quoted prices in inactive markets or other significant observable inputs (e.g. quoted prices for similar securities; interest rates; prepayment speed; credit risk; yield curves)

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (e.g. discounted cash flow analysis; non-market based methods used to determine fair value)

Observable inputs are those based upon market data obtained from independent sources, and unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions based on the best information available. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest

LCM l ADVENT/CLAYMORE ENHANCED GROWTH & INCOME FUND ANNUAL REPORT l 19


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued	October 31, 2014

level of any input both individually and in aggregate that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following are certain inputs and techniques that are generally utilized to evaluate how to classify each major type of investment in accordance with GAAP.

Equity Securities (Common and Preferred Stock) – Equity securities traded in active markets where market quotations are readily available are categorized as Level 1. Equity securities traded in inactive markets and certain foreign equities are valued using inputs which include broker quotes, prices of securities closely related where the security held is not trading but the related security is trading, and evaluated price quotes received from independent pricing providers. To the extent that these inputs are observable, such securities are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, such securities are categorized as Level 3.

Convertible Bonds & Notes – Convertible bonds and notes are valued by independent pricing providers who employ matrix pricing models utilizing various inputs such as market prices, broker quotes, prices of securities with comparable maturities and qualities, and closing prices of corresponding underlying securities. To the extent that these inputs are observable, such securities are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, such securities are categorized as Level 3.

Corporate Bonds & Notes – Corporate bonds and notes are valued by independent pricing providers who employ matrix pricing models utilizing various inputs such as market prices, broker quotes, and prices of securities with comparable maturities and qualities, and closing prices of corresponding underlying securities. To the extent that these inputs are observable, such securities are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, such securities are categorized as Level 3.

Listed derivatives that are actively traded are valued based on quoted prices from the exchange and categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Over-the-counter (OTC) derivative contracts including forward currency contracts and option contracts derive their value from underlying asset prices, indices, reference rates, and other inputs. Depending on the product and terms of the transaction, the fair value of the OTC derivative products can be modeled taking into account the counterparties’ creditworthiness and using a series of techniques, including simulation models. Many pricing models do not entail material subjectivity because the methodologies employed do not necessitate significant judgments, and the pricing inputs are observed from actively quoted markets. These OTC derivatives are categorized within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Fund did not hold any Level 3 securities during the year ended October 31, 2014.

Transfers between levels, if any, are in comparison to the valuation levels at the end of the previous fiscal year, and are effective using the fair value as of the end of the current fiscal period.

There were no transfers between levels during the year ended October 31, 2014.

The following table represents the Fund’s investments carried on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities by caption and by level within the fair value hierarchy as of October 31, 2014:

If not referenced in the table, please refer to the Portfolio of Investments for a breakdown of investment type by industry category.

(b) Investment Transactions and Investment Income

Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded net of applicable withholding taxes on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts on debt securities purchased are accreted to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Premiums on debt securities purchased are amortized to interest income up to the next call date of the respective securities using the effective interest method.

The Fund considers all demand deposits to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are held at the Bank of New York Mellon.

(d) Restricted Cash

A portion of cash on hand is pledged with a broker for current or potential holdings, which includes options, swaps, forward exchange currency contracts and securities purchased on a when issued or delayed delivery basis.

As of October 31, 2014, there was no restricted cash outstanding.

20 l LCM l ADVENT/CLAYMORE ENHANCED GROWTH & INCOME FUND ANNUAL REPORT


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued	October 31, 2014

(e) Convertible Securities

The Fund invests in preferred stocks and fixed-income securities which are convertible into common stock. Convertible securities may be converted either at a stated price or rate within a specified period of time into a specified number of shares of common stock. Traditionally, convertible securities have paid dividends or interest greater than on the related common stocks, but less than fixed income non-convertible securities. By investing in a convertible security, the Fund may participate in any capital appreciation or depreciation of a company’s stock, but to a lesser degree than if it had invested in that company’s common stock. Convertible securities rank senior to common stock in a corporation’s capital structure and, therefore, entail less risk than the corporation’s common stock.

(f) Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the bid and ask price of the respective exchange rates on the last day of the period. Purchases and sales of investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the mean of the bid and ask price of respective exchange rates on the date of the transaction.

The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

Foreign exchange realized gain or loss resulting from the holding of a foreign currency, expiration of a currency exchange contract, difference in the exchange rates between the trade date and settlement date of an investment purchased or sold, and the difference between dividends actually received compared to the amount shown in a Fund’s accounting records on the date of receipt are included as net realized gains or losses in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.

Foreign exchange gain or loss on assets and liabilities, other than investments, are included in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency translations in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.

(g) Covered Call and Put Options

The Fund will pursue its objective by employing an option strategy of writing (selling) covered call options or put options on up to 25% of the securities held in the portfolio of the Fund. The Fund seeks to generate current gains from option premiums as a means to enhance distributions payable to shareholders.

When an option is written, the premium received is recorded as an asset with an equal liability and is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current market value of the option written. These liabilities are reflected as options written, at value, in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire unexercised are recorded on the expiration date as a realized gain. The difference between the premium received and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transactions, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether there has been a realized gain or loss.

(h) Forward Exchange Currency Contracts

The Fund entered into forward exchange currency contracts in order to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on its foreign portfolio holdings, to hedge certain firm purchases and sales commitments denominated in foreign currencies and for investment purposes. Forward exchange currency contracts are agreements between two parties to buy and sell currencies at a set price on a future date. Fluctuations in the value of open forward exchange currency contracts are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized appreciation and depreciation by the Fund until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains and losses are recorded, and included on the Statement of Operations.

Forward exchange currency contracts involve elements of both market and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

(i) Senior Floating Rate Interests

Senior floating rate interests, or term loans, in which the Fund typically invests are not listed on a securities exchange or board of trade. Term loans are typically bought and sold by institutional investors in individually negotiated transactions. The market generally has fewer trades and less liquidity than the secondary market for other types of securities. Due to the nature of the market, the actual settlement date may not be certain at the time of purchase or sale. Interest income is not accrued until settlement date. Typically term loans are valued by independent pricing services using broker quotes.

(j) Reverse Repurchase Agreements

In a reverse repurchase agreement, the Fund sells to a counterparty a security that it holds with a contemporaneous agreement to repurchase the same security at an agreed-upon price and date. Reverse repurchase agreements are valued based on the amount of cash received, which represents fair value. Reverse repurchase agreements are reflected as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Interest payments made are recorded as a component of interest expense on the Statement of Operations. The Fund monitors collateral market value for the reverse repurchase agreement, including accrued interest, throughout the life of the agreement, and when necessary, delivers or receives cash or securities in order to manage credit exposure and liquidity. If the counterparty defaults or enters insolvency proceeding, realization or return of the collateral to the Fund may be delayed or limited.

(k) Risks and Other Considerations

In the normal course of business, the Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to, among other things, changes in the market (market risk) or the potential inability of a counterparty to meet the terms of an agreement (counterparty risk). The Fund is also exposed to

LCM l ADVENT/CLAYMORE ENHANCED GROWTH & INCOME FUND ANNUAL REPORT l 21


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued	October 31, 2014

other risks such as, but not limited to, concentration, interest rate, credit and financial leverage risks.

Concentration of Risk. It is the Fund’s policy to invest a significant portion of its assets in convertible securities. Although convertible securities do derive part of their value from that of the securities into which they are convertible, they are not considered derivative financial instruments. However, certain of the Fund’s investments include features which render them more sensitive to price changes in their underlying securities. Consequently, this exposes the Fund to greater downside risk than traditional convertible securities, but still less than that of the underlying common stock.

Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk that one or more income securities in the Fund’s portfolio will decline in price, or fail to pay interest and principal when due, because the issuer of the security experiences a decline in its financial status. The Fund’s investments in income securities involve credit risk. However, in general, lower rated, lower grade and non-investment grade securities carry a greater degree of risk that the issuer will lose its ability to make interest and principal payments, which could have a negative impact on the Fund’s net asset value or dividends.

Interest Rate Risk. Convertible and nonconvertible income-producing securities including preferred stock and debt securities (collectively, “income securities”) are subject to certain interest rate risks. If interest rates go up, the value of income securities in the Fund’s portfolio generally will decline. These risks may be greater in the current market environment because interest rates are near historically low levels. During periods of rising interest rates, the average life of certain types of income securities may be extended because of slower than expected principal payments. This may lock in a below market interest rate, increase the security’s duration (the estimated period until the security is paid in full) and reduce the value of the security. This is known as extension risk. During periods of declining interest rates, the issuer of a security may exercise its option to prepay principal earlier than scheduled, forcing the Fund to reinvest in lower yielding securities. This is known as call or prepayment risk. Lower grade securities have call features that allow the issuer to repurchase the security prior to its stated maturity. An issuer may redeem a lower grade security if the issuer can refinance the security at a lower cost due to declining interest rates or an improvement in the credit standing of the issuer.

Lower Grade Securities Risk. Investing in lower grade and non-investment grade securities involves additional risks. Securities of below investment grade quality are commonly referred to as “junk bonds” or “high yield securities.” Investment in securities of below investment grade quality involves substantial risk of loss. Securities of below investment grade quality are predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal when due and therefore involve a greater risk of default or decline in market value due to adverse economic and issuer specific developments. Issuers of below investment grade securities are not perceived to be as strong financially as those with higher credit ratings. Issuers of lower grade securities may be highly leveraged and may not have available to them more traditional methods of financing. Therefore, the risks associated with acquiring the securities of such issuers generally are greater than is the case with higher rated securities. These issuers are more vulnerable to financial setbacks and recession than more creditworthy issuers, which may impair their ability to make interest and principal payments. The issuer’s ability to service its debt obligations also may be adversely affected by specific issuer developments, the issuer’s inability to meet specific projected business forecasts or the unavailability of additional financing. Therefore, there can be no assurance that in the future there will not exist a higher default rate relative to the rates currently existing in the market for lower grade securities. The risk of loss due to default by the issuer is significantly greater for the holders of lower grade securities because such securities may be unsecured and may be subordinate to other creditors of the issuer. Securities of below investment grade quality display increased price sensitivity to changing interest rates and to a deteriorating economic environment. The market values for securities of below investment grade quality tend to be more volatile and such securities tend to be less liquid than investment grade debt securities. To the extent that a secondary market does exist for certain below investment grade securities, the market for them may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods.

Structured and Synthetic Convertible Securities Risk. The value of structured convertible securities can be affected by interest rate changes and credit risks of the issuer. Such securities may be structured in ways that limit their potential for capital appreciation and the entire value of the security may be at a risk of loss depending on the performance of the underlying equity security. Structured convertible securities may be less liquid than other convertible securities. The value of a synthetic convertible security will respond differently to market fluctuations than a convertible security because a synthetic convertible security is composed of two or more separate securities, each with its own market value. In addition, if the value of the underlying common stock or the level of the index involved in the convertible component falls below the exercise price of the warrant or option, the warrant or option may lose all value.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investing in non-U.S. issuers may involve unique risks, such as currency, political, economic and market risk. In addition, investing in emerging markets entails additional risk including, but not limited to: news and events unique to a country or region; smaller market size, resulting in lack of liquidity and price volatility; certain national policies which may restrict the Fund’s investment opportunities; less uniformity in accounting and reporting requirements; unreliable securities valuation; and custody risk.

Financial Leverage Risk. Certain risks are associated with the leveraging of common stock, including the risk that both the net asset value and the market value of shares of common stock may be subject to higher volatility and a decline in value.

Counterparty Risk. The Fund is subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty fails to perform on agreements with the Fund such as swap and option contracts, and reverse repurchase agreements.

(l) Distributions to Shareholders

The Fund declares and pays quarterly distributions to common shareholders. These distributions consist of investment company taxable income, which generally includes qualified dividend income, ordinary income and short-term capital gains. Any net realized long-term gains are distributed annually to common shareholders.

Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

(m) New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2014, the FASB issued an ASU that expands secured borrowing accounting for certain repurchase agreements. The ASU also sets forth additional disclosure requirements for certain transactions accounted for as sales, in order to provide financial statement users with information to compare to similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. The ASU is effective prospectively during interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the financial statements.

Note 3 – Investment Management Agreement, Servicing Agreement and Other Agreements:

Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) between Guggenheim Funds Investment Advisors, LLC (“GFIA” or the “Investment Adviser”) and the Fund, the Investment Adviser furnishes offices, necessary facilities and equipment, provides administrative services to the Fund, oversees the activities of Advent Capital Management, LLC (the “Investment Manager”), provides personnel and compensates the Trustees and Officers of the Fund who are its affiliates. As compensation for these services, the Fund pays the Investment Adviser an annual fee, payable monthly in arrears, at an annual rate equal to 0.49% of the average managed assets during such month. Managed Assets means the total of assets of the Fund (including any assets attributable to borrowings in the use of financial leverage, if any) minus the sum of accrued liabilities (other than debt representing financial leverage, if any).

Pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement between the Investment Manager and the Fund, the Fund pays the Investment Manager an annual fee, payable monthly in arrears, at an annual rate equal to 0.51% of the average Managed Assets during such month for the services and facilities provided by the Investment Manager to the Fund. These services include the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio of securities, which includes buying and selling securities for the Fund and investment research.

The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY”) acts as the Fund’s custodian and accounting agent. As custodian, BNY is responsible for the custody of the Fund’s assets. As accounting agent, BNY is responsible for maintaining the books and records of the Fund’s securities and cash.

Rydex Fund Services, LLC (“RFS”), an affiliate of the Servicing Agent, provides fund administration services to the Fund. As compensation for these services RFS receives an administration fee payable monthly at the annual rate set forth below as a percentage of the average daily Managed Assets of the Fund:

Managed Assets	Rate
First $200,000,000	0.0275%
Next $300,000,000	0.0200%
Next $500,000,000	0.0150%
Over $1,000,000,000	0.0100%

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers and directors of the Investment Adviser or Servicing Agent. The Fund does not compensate its officers or trustees who are officers of the aforementioned firms.

Note 4 – Federal Income Taxes:

The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes is required. In addition, by distributing substantially all of its ordinary income and long-term capital gains, if any, during each calendar year, the Fund avoids a 4% federal excise tax that is assessed on the amount of the under distribution.

In order to present paid-in capital in excess of par, distributions in excess of net investment income and accumulated net realized gains or losses on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities that more closely represent their tax character, certain adjustments have been made to distributions in excess of net investment income, accumulated net realized gains or losses and paid-in capital. For the year ended October 31, 2014, the adjustments were to decrease paid-in capital by $5,007,096, increase accumulated net realized loss by $2,578,985 and decrease distributions in excess of net investment income by $7,586,081 due to the difference in the treatment for book and tax purposes of convertible bonds, convertible preferred securities, contingent payment debt instruments, real estate investment trusts, and foreign currency.

As of October 31, 2014, the cost of investments and accumulated unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

			Net Tax	Net Tax
Cost of			Unrealized	Unrealized
Investments	Gross Tax	Gross Tax	Depreciation	Depreciation on
for Tax	Unrealized	Unrealized	on	Derivatives and
Purposes	Appreciation	Depreciation	Investments	Foreign Currency
$190,713,249	$4,571,680	$(7,144,103)	$(2,572,423)	$(31,926)

The differences between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) are attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and income adjustments for tax purposes on certain convertible securities.

As of October 31, 2014, tax components of accumulated earnings were as follows:

Undistributed	Undistributed
Ordinary	Long-Term

LCM l ADVENT/CLAYMORE ENHANCED GROWTH & INCOME FUND ANNUAL REPORT l 23


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued	October 31, 2014

The differences between book basis and tax basis undistributed long-term gains/(accumulated capital losses) are attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and straddles.

As of October 31, 2014, for federal income tax purposes, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $57,670,077 available to offset possible future capital gains. Of the capital loss carryforward, $5,251,357 expires on October 31, 2016 and $52,418,720 expires on October 31, 2017. For the year ended October 31, 2014, the Fund utilized $5,191,215 of capital losses. Per the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital loss carryforwards generated in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 must be fully used before capital loss carryforwards generated in taxable years prior to December 22, 2010; therefore, under certain circumstances, capital loss carryforwards available as of the report date, if any, may expire unused.

For the years ended October 31, 2014 and 2013, the tax character of distributions paid, as reflected in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets, of $11,368,513 and $11,426,541 was ordinary income and $58,028 and $0 was return of capital, respectively.

For all open tax years and all major jurisdictions, management of the Fund has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Uncertain tax positions are tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns that would not meet a more-likely-than not threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority and would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. Open tax years are those that are open for examination by taxing authorities (i.e. generally the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Furthermore, management of the Fund is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Note 5 – Investments in Securities:

For the year ended October 31, 2014, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $692,353,992 and $703,949,957, respectively.

Note 6 – Derivatives:

(a) Covered Call and Put Options

An option on a security is a contract that gives the holder of the option, in return for a premium, the right to buy from (in the case of a call) or sell to (in the case of a put) the writer of the option the security underlying the option at a specified exercise or “strike” price. The writer of an option on a security has the obligation upon exercise of the option to deliver the underlying security upon payment of the exercise price (in the case of a call) or to pay the exercise price upon delivery of the underlying security (in the case of a put).

The Fund will follow a strategy of writing covered call options, which is a strategy designed to produce income from option premiums and offset a portion of a market decline in the underlying security. This strategy will be the Fund’s principal investment strategy in seeking to pursue its primary investment objective. The Fund will only “sell” or “write” options on securities held in the Fund’s portfolio. It may not sell “naked” call options, i.e., options on securities that are not held by the Fund or on more shares of a security than are held in the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund will consider a call option written with respect to a security underlying a convertible security to be covered so long as (i) the convertible security, pursuant to its terms, grants to the holders of such security the right to convert the convertible security into the underlying security and (ii) the convertible security, upon conversion, will convert into enough shares of the underlying security to cover the call option written by the Fund.

There are several risks associated with transactions in options on securities. As the writer of a covered call option, the Fund forgoes, during the option’s life, the opportunity to profit from increases in the market value of the security covering the call option above the sum of the premium and the strike price of the call but has retained the risk of loss should the price of the underlying security decline. A writer of a put option is exposed to the risk of loss if fair value of the underlying securities declines, but profits only to the extent of the premium received if the underlying security increases in value. The writer of an option has no control over the time when it may be required to fill its obligation as writer of the option. Once an option writer has received an exercise notice, it cannot effect a closing purchase transaction in order to terminate its obligation under the option and must deliver the underlying security at the exercise price.

Transactions in written option contracts for the year ended October 31, 2014, were as follows:

	Number of Contracts	Premiums Received
Options outstanding, beginning of period	9,158	$ 1,731,863
Options written during the period	132,061	12,866,873
Options expired during the period	(5,073)	(263,386)
Options closed during the period	(135,797)	(14,270,256)
Options assigned during the period	(18)	(18,660)
Options outstanding, end of period	331	$ 46,434

(b) Foreign Currency Contracts

A forward exchange currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency on a future date at a negotiated forward rate. The gain or loss arising from the difference between the original contracts and the closing of such contracts would be included in net realized gain or loss on foreign currency transactions.

Risk may arise from the potential inability of a counterparty to meet the terms of a contract and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. The face or contract amount, in U.S. dollars, reflects the total exposure the Fund has in that particular currency contract.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued	October 31, 2014

Note 8 – Borrowings:

On December 30, 2009, the Fund entered into a $50,000,000 committed credit facility agreement whereby the lender has agreed to provide secured financing to the Fund and the Fund will provide pledged collateral to the lender. Interest on the amount borrowed is based on the 3-month LIBOR plus 0.95%. An unused commitment fee of 0.85% is charged on the difference between the $50,000,000 credit agreement and the amount borrowed, which is included in Interest Expense on the Statement of Operations. As of October 31, 2014, there was $50,000,000 outstanding in connection with the Fund’s credit facility. The average daily amount of the borrowings on the credit facility during the year ended October 31, 2014 was $50,000,000 with a related average interest rate of 1.19%. The maximum amount outstanding during the period was $50,000,000. As of October 31, 2014, the total amount of securities segregated in connection with borrowings was $109,771,831.

The Fund’s use of leverage creates special risks that may adversely affect the total return of the Fund. The risks include but are not limited to: greater volatility of the Fund’s net asset value and market price; fluctuations in the interest rates on the leverage; and the possibility that increased costs associated with the leverage, which would be borne entirely by the shareholder’s of the Fund, may reduce the Fund’s total return. The Fund will pay interest expense on the leverage, thus reducing the Fund’s total return. This expense may be greater than the Fund’s return on the underlying investment.

The committed credit facility agreement governing the loan facility includes usual and customary covenants. These covenants impose on the Fund asset coverage requirements, collateral requirements, investment strategy requirements, and certain financial obligations. These covenants place limits or restrictions on the Fund’s ability to (i) enter into additional indebtedness with a party other than the lender, (ii) change its fundamental investment policy, or (iii) pledge to any other party, other than to the lender, securities owned or held by the Fund over which the lender has a lien. In addition, the Fund is required to deliver financial information to the lender within established deadlines, maintain an asset coverage ratio (as defined in Section 18(g) of the 1940 Act) greater than 300%, comply with the rules of the stock exchange on which its shares are listed, and maintain its classification as a “closed-end fund company” as defined in the 1940 Act.

Note 9 – Indemnifications:

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations, which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would require future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Note 10 – Subsequent Event:

Subsequent to October 31, 2014, the Fund declared on November 3, 2014, a quarterly distribution of $0.2100 per common share. The distribution is payable on November 28, 2014, to shareholders of record on November 14, 2014.

On November 12, 2014, the Fund announced that the Board of Trustees of the Fund has approved modifications to certain non-fundamental investment policies for the Fund. These modifications, effective January 12, 2015, are designed to expand the portfolio management flexibility of the Fund.

The Fund will continue to pursue its primary investment objective to provide current income and current gains from trading in securities, and its secondary objective of long-term capital appreciation. Currently, the Fund must invest at least 70% of its Managed Assets in a diversified portfolio of equity securities and convertible securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers and may invest up to 30% of its Managed Assets in non-convertible high-yield securities. Under the investment policy modification, the Fund will invest at least 40% of its Managed Assets in equity securities and convertible securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers and may invest up to 60% of its Managed Assets in non-convertible high yield securities.

The Fund has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date of issuance of this report and has determined that there are no material events that would require disclosure other than the events disclosed above.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN (Unaudited)	October 31, 2014

Unless the registered owner of common shares elects to receive cash by contacting the Plan Administrator, all dividends declared on common shares of the Fund will be automatically reinvested by Computershare Shareowner Services LLC (the “Plan Administrator”), Administrator for shareholders in the Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”), in additional common shares of the Fund. Participation in the Plan is completely voluntary and may be terminated or resumed at any time without penalty by notice if received and processed by the Plan Administrator prior to the dividend record date; otherwise such termination or resumption will be effective with respect to any subsequently declared dividend or other distribution. Some brokers may automatically elect to receive cash on your behalf and may re-invest that cash in additional common shares of the Fund for you. If you wish for all dividends declared on your common shares of the Fund to be automatically reinvested pursuant to the Plan, please contact your broker.

The Plan Administrator will open an account for each common shareholder under the Plan in the same name in which such common shareholder’s common shares are registered. Whenever the Fund declares a dividend or other distribution (together, a “Dividend”) payable in cash, non-participants in the Plan will receive cash and participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in common shares. The common shares will be acquired by the Plan Administrator for the participants’ accounts, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of additional unissued but authorized common shares from the Fund (“Newly Issued Common Shares”) or (ii) by purchase of outstanding common shares on the open market (“Open-Market Purchases”) on the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere. If, on the payment date for any Dividend, the closing market price plus estimated brokerage commission per common share is equal to or greater than the net asset value per common share, the Plan Administrator will invest the Dividend amount in Newly Issued Common Shares on behalf of the participants. The number of Newly Issued Common Shares to be credited to each participant’s account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the Dividend by the net asset value per common share on the payment date; provided that, if the net asset value is less than or equal to 95% of the closing market value on the payment date, the dollar amount of the Dividend will be divided by 95% of the closing market price per common share on the payment date. If, on the payment date for any Dividend, the net asset value per common share is greater than the closing market value plus estimated brokerage commission, the Plan Administrator will invest the Dividend amount in common shares acquired on behalf of the participants in Open-Market Purchases.

If, before the Plan Administrator has completed its Open-Market Purchases, the market price per common share exceeds the net asset value per common share, the average per common share purchase price paid by the Plan Administrator may exceed the net asset value of the common shares, resulting in the acquisition of fewer common shares than if the Dividend had been paid in Newly Issued Common Shares on the Dividend payment date. Because of the foregoing difficulty with respect to Open-Market Purchases, the Plan provides that if the Plan Administrator is unable to invest the full Dividend amount in Open-Market Purchases during the purchase period or if the market discount shifts to a market premium during the purchase period, the Plan Administrator may cease making Open-Market Purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the Dividend amount in Newly Issued Common Shares at net asset value per common share at the close of business on the Last Purchase Date provided that, if the net asset value is less than or equal to 95% of the then current market price per common share; the dollar amount of the Dividend will be divided by 95% of the market price on the payment date.

The Plan Administrator maintains all shareholders’ accounts in the Plan and furnishes written confirmation of all transactions in the accounts, including information needed by shareholders for tax records. Common shares in the account of each Plan participant will be held by the Plan Administrator on behalf of the Plan participant, and each shareholder proxy will include those shares purchased or received pursuant to the Plan. The Plan Administrator will forward all proxy solicitation materials to participants and vote proxies for shares held under the Plan in accordance with the instruction of the participants.

There will be no brokerage charges with respect to common shares issued directly by the Fund. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commission incurred in connection with Open-Market Purchases. The automatic reinvestment of Dividends will not relieve participants of any Federal, state or local income tax that may be payable (or required to be withheld) on such Dividends.

The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants with regard to purchases in the Plan; however, the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants.

All correspondence or questions concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Administrator, Computershare Shareowner Services LLC, P.O. Box 30170 College Station, TX 77842-3170; Attention: Shareholder Services Department, Phone Number: (866) 488-3559.

LCM l ADVENT/CLAYMORE ENHANCED GROWTH & INCOME FUND ANNUAL REPORT l 33

CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING ANNUAL REVIEW OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY
AND INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS (Unaudited)	October 31, 2014

Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) contemplates that the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Advent/Claymore Enhanced Growth & Income Fund (the “Fund”), including a majority of the Trustees who have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management agreement or investment advisory agreement and are not “interested persons” of the Fund, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), is required to annually review and re-approve the terms of the Fund’s existing investment management agreement and the investment advisory agreement and approve any newly proposed terms therein. In this regard, the Board reviewed and re-approved, during the most recent six month period covered by this report, the investment management agreement (the “Investment Management Agreement”) with Advent Capital Management, LLC (“Advent”) and the investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) with Guggenheim Funds Investment Advisors, LLC (“GFIA”), for the Fund.

Most specifically, at a Meeting held June 20, 2014, the Board, including the Independent Trustees advised by their independent legal counsel, considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to re-approval of the Investment Management Agreement and the Investment Advisory Agreement.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

The Independent Trustees received and considered various data and information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by Advent under the Investment Management Agreement, and by GFIA under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees reviewed and analyzed the responses of Advent and GFIA to a detailed series of requests submitted by the Independent Trustees’ independent legal counsel on behalf of such Trustees which included, among other things, information about the background and experience of the senior management and the expertise of, and amount of attention devoted to the Fund by personnel of Advent and GFIA. In this regard, the Independent Trustees specifically reviewed the qualifications, background and responsibilities of the persons primarily responsible for day-to-day portfolio management services for the Fund.

The Independent Trustees evaluated the ability of Advent and GFIA, including their resources, reputation and other attributes, to attract and retain highly qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory and supervisory personnel. Accordingly, the Independent Trustees considered information regarding the compensation structures for the personnel of Advent and GFIA involved in providing services to the Fund.

The Independent Trustees also considered the commitment of Advent and GFIA to the Fund and the hiring of senior level persons whose activities would relate, in part, to the Fund. The Independent Trustees discussed the changes in portfolio managers at Advent responsible for portfolio management for the Fund, and in other personnel at both Advent and GFIA.

The Board noted the services provided by GFIA, as distinct from those provided by Advent. They noted GFIA’ s oversight and supervision of the services of Advent as investment manager including the general monitoring of performance of Advent, including (i) providing comparative analysis of investment performance to benchmarks and/or peer groups, (ii) conducting periodic interviews/discussion with portfolio managers regarding the Fund, and (iii) conducting periodic reviews of the investment manager. The Board was also aware that GFIA assists in the implementation and oversight of the Fund compliance program, which is administered by the Fund’s chief compliance officer, including (i) providing an on-going review of results of compliance tests, such as prospectus limitations and requirements, and regulated investment company qualification requirements, (ii) monitoring code of ethics compliance, and (iii) reviewing the trading process and related issues.

Based on the above factors, together with those referenced below, the Independent Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment management services provided to the Fund by Advent and the investment advisory services provided to the Fund by GFIA.

Fund Performance and Expenses

The Independent Trustees considered the performance results for the Fund on a market price and net asset value basis over various time periods. They also considered these results in comparison to the performance results of one group of other closed-end funds that were determined to be similar to the Fund in terms of investment strategy (the “Peer Group”). They recognized that the number of other funds in the Peer Group was small and that for a variety of reasons, Peer Group comparisons may have limited usefulness. The Board also was aware that the performance benchmarks may not be useful comparisons due to the fact that the convertible securities in the benchmarks include convertibles with characteristics unlike those purchased by the Fund.

In the case of the Fund, the Board noted that until 2012, the Fund had maintained an investment policy requiring that 50% of all positions in the Fund have covered calls written against them, which, during the bull market following the 2008 crisis, limited the upside potential of the Fund’s covered positions, dampening investment returns. The Board was advised this contrasted with the Fund’s peers, which allowed them to participate in market gains from 2008 to 2012.

The Board concluded that the Fund was being managed consistent with its mandate.

The Independent Trustees considered the steps management has continued to take to address the Fund’s underperformance, which includes enhancement to risk management implementation of investment guideline changes and changes to the portfolio teams, and will continue to monitor performance on an on-going basis. The Board also reviewed

34 l LCM l ADVENT/CLAYMORE ENHANCED GROWTH & INCOME FUND ANNUAL REPORT


CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING ANNUAL REVIEW OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY
AND INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS (Unaudited) continued	October 31, 2014

information about the discount at which the Fund’s shares have traded as compared with its peers. The Board was apprised by management of the intention to implement changes on how the Fund was managed to align with how Advent manages institutional accounts.

The Independent Trustees received and considered statistical information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio (based on net assets applicable to common shares) and its various components. They also considered comparisons of these expenses to the expense information for the Peer Group. The Independent Trustees recognized that the expense ratio of the Fund (expressed as a percentage of net assets attributable to common shares) was higher than expense ratios of certain Peer Group funds because of the Fund’s leverage, and because certain funds in the Peer Group had no leverage or lower leverage and therefore reported lower expense ratios and because of the small size of the Fund and the overall complex in relation to peers. The Independent Trustees also noted that expense ratio comparisons with the Peer Group was difficult, because the items included in other funds’ definitions of expenses may differ from those used for the Fund. The Independent Trustees considered that the Fund benefited from the use of leverage despite the costs.

Based on the above-referenced considerations and other factors, the Independent Trustees concluded that the overall performance results and expense comparison supported the re-approval of the Investment Management Agreement and the Investment Advisory Agreement of the Fund.

Investment Management and Advisory Fee Rates

The Independent Trustees reviewed and considered the contractual investment management and investment advisory fee rates for the Fund (collectively, the “Management Agreement Rates”) payable by the Fund to Advent and to GFIA for investment management and advisory services, respectively. Additionally, the Independent Trustees received and considered information comparing the Management Agreement Rates (on a stand-alone basis exclusive of service fee/administrative fee rates) with those of the other funds in the Peer Group. The Independent Trustees concluded that the fees were fair and equitable based on relevant factors, including the Fund’s performance results and total expenses relative to its Peer Group.

Profitability

The Independent Trustees received and considered an estimated profitability analysis of Advent and GFIA based on the Management Agreement Rates. The Independent Trustees concluded that, in light of the costs of providing investment advisory services, investment management services, and other services to the Fund, the profits and other ancillary benefits that Advent and GFIA received with regard to providing these services to the Fund were not unreasonable.

Economies of Scale

The Independent Trustees received and considered information regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund, whether the Fund has appropriately benefited from any economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Independent Trustees concluded that the opportunity to benefit from economies of scale was diminished in the context of closed-end funds.

Information about Services to Other Clients

The Independent Trustees also received and considered information about the nature, extent and quality of services and fee rates offered by Advent and GFIA to their other clients. In particular, Advent explained that its hedge fund clients pay higher fees than the Fund. Advent also confirmed that the Fund differs from certain other accounts advised by Advent in that the Fund is more complex to manage, requires greater resources from Advent, and differs in terms of investment strategy and use of leverage. The Independent Trustees also noted the differing services provided to the Fund in relation to those typically provided to hedge funds and separate accounts. Advent also noted that certain pension funds enjoyed discounts on fees, as disclosed in Advent’s Form ADV. In addition, GFIA noted that it may charge different fees to other clients, which are a result of different types and levels of services provided.

Conclusion

After considering the above-described factors and based on their deliberations and evaluation of the information provided to them, the Board, including the Independent Trustees advised by their independent legal counsel, at a meeting held on June 20, 2014, determined that the re-approval of the Investment Management Agreement and the Investment Advisory Agreement for an additional one-year period was in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders.

ABOUT THE FUND MANAGER

Advent Capital Management, LLC

Advent Capital Management, LLC (“Advent”) is a registered investment adviser, based in New York, which specializes in convertible and high-yield securities for institutional and individual investors. The firm was established by Tracy V. Maitland, a former Director in the Convertible Securities sales and trading division of Merrill Lynch. Advent’s investment discipline emphasizes capital structure research, encompassing equity fundamentals as well as credit research, with a focus on cash flow and asset values while seeking to maximize total return.

Investment Philosophy

Advent believes that superior returns can be achieved while reducing risk by investing in a diversified portfolio of global equity, convertible and high-yield securities. The Fund Manager seeks securities with attractive risk/reward characteristics. Advent employs a bottom-up security selection process across all of the strategies it manages. Securities are chosen from those that the Fund Manager believes have stable-to-improving fundamentals and attractive valuations.

Investment Process

Advent manages securities by using a strict four-step process:

1	Screen the convertible and high-yield markets for securities with attractive risk/reward characteristics and favorable cash flows;
2	Analyze the quality of issues to help manage downside risk;

3	Analyze fundamentals to identify catalysts for favorable performance; and

4	Continually monitor the portfolio for improving or deteriorating trends in the financials of each investment.

The Audit Committee has adopted written policies relating to the pre-approval of the audit and non-audit services performed by the registrant’s independent auditors. Unless a type of service to be provided by the independent auditors has received general pre-approval, it requires specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. Under the policies, on an annual basis, the Audit Committee reviews and pre-approves the services to be provided by the independent auditors without having to

obtain specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has delegated pre-approval authority to the Audit Committee Chairperson. In addition, the Audit Committee pre-approves any permitted non-audit services to be provided by the independent auditors to the registrant's investment adviser or any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser if such services relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant.

AUDIT COMMITTEE PRE-APPROVAL POLICY

ADVENT CLAYMORE ENHANCED GROWTH & INCOME FUND

Statement of Principles

The Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of Advent Claymore Enhanced Growth & Income Fund (the “Trust,”) is required to pre-approve all Covered Services (as defined in the Audit Committee Charter) in order to assure that the provision of the Covered Services does not impair the auditors' independence. Unless a type of service to be provided by the Independent Auditor (as defined in the Audit Committee Charter) is pre-approved in accordance with the terms of this Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy (the "Policy"), it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee or by any member of the Audit Committee to which pre-approval authority has been delegated.

This Policy and the appendices to this Policy describe the Audit, Audit-Related, Tax and All Other services that are Covered Services and that have been pre-approved under this Policy. The appendices hereto sometimes are referred to herein as the "Service Pre-Approval Documents". The term of any such pre-approval is 12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Audit Committee specifically provides for a different period. At its June meeting of each calendar year, the Audit Committee will review and re-approve this Policy and approve or re-approve the Service Pre-Approval Documents for that year, together with any changes deemed necessary or desirable by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee may, from time to time, modify the nature of the services pre-approved, the aggregate level of fees pre-approved or both. The Audit Committee hereby directs that each version of this Policy and the Service Pre-Approval Documents approved, re-approved or amended from time to time be maintained with the books and records of the Trust.

Delegation

In the intervals between the scheduled meetings of the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee delegates pre-approval authority under this Policy to the Chairman of the Audit Committee (the "Chairman"). The Chairman shall report any pre-approval decisions under this Policy to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. At each scheduled meeting, the Audit Committee will review with the Independent Auditor the Covered Services pre-approved by the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority, if any, and the fees related thereto. Based on these reviews, the Audit Committee can modify, at its discretion, the pre-approval originally granted by the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority. This modification can be to the nature of services pre-approved, the aggregate level of fees approved, or both. The Audit Committee expects pre-approval of Covered Services by the Chairman pursuant to this delegated authority to be the exception rather than the rule and may modify or withdraw this delegated authority at any time the Audit Committee determines that it is appropriate to do so.

Pre-Approved Fee Levels

Fee levels for all Covered Services to be provided by the Independent Auditor and pre-approved under this Policy will be established annually by the Audit Committee and set forth in the Service Pre-Approval Documents. Any increase in pre-approved fee levels will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority).

Audit Services

The terms and fees of the annual Audit services engagement for the Trust are subject to the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will approve, if necessary, any changes in terms, conditions or fees resulting from changes in audit scope, Trust structure or other matters.

In addition to the annual Audit services engagement specifically approved by the Audit Committee, any other Audit services for the Trust not listed in the Service Pre-Approval Document for the respective period must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority).

Audit-Related Services

Audit-Related services are assurance and related services that are not required for the audit, but are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the financial statements of the Trust and, to the extent they are Covered Services, the other Covered Entities (as defined in the Audit Committee Charter) or that are traditionally performed by the Independent Auditor. Audit-Related services that are Covered Services and are not listed in the Service Pre-Approval Document for the respective period must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority).

Tax Services

The Audit Committee believes that the Independent Auditor can provide Tax services to the Covered Entities such as tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice without impairing the auditor's independence. However, the Audit Committee will not permit the retention of the Independent Auditor in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the Independent Auditor, the sole business purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. Tax services that are Covered Services and are not listed in the Service Pre-Approval Document for the respective period must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority).

All Other Services

All Other services that are Covered Services and are not listed in the Service Pre-Approval Document for the respective period must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority).

Procedures

Requests or applications to provide Covered Services that require approval by the Audit Committee (or the Chairman pursuant to delegated authority) must be submitted to the Audit Committee or the Chairman, as the case may be, by both the Independent Auditor and the Chief Financial Officer of the respective Covered Entity, and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, (a) the request or application is consistent with the SEC's rules on auditor

independence and (b) the requested service is or is not a non-audit service prohibited by the SEC. A request or application submitted to the Chairman between scheduled meetings of the Audit Committee should include a discussion as to why approval is being sought prior to the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Audit Committee.

(2)	None of the services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d) were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

(f) Not applicable.

(g) The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant's accountant for services rendered to the registrant, the registrant’s investment adviser (not including a sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is sub-contracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) and/or any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that directly related to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant were $858,950 and $185,299 for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2014, and October 31, 2013, respectively.
