Claymore has published NAV data<\/a> for its exchange traded fund (CPD) and I have derived the following table:<\/p>\n

The DPS.UN NAV for July 30 has been published<\/a> so we may calculate the July returns (approximately!) for this closed end fund:<\/p>\n

CPD had a NAV of $17.01 on June 25 and $16.88 on June 30.
