CurrencyShares® Swedish Krona Trust
(Unaudited)
1. Organization and Description of the Trust
The CurrencyShares® Swedish Krona Trust (the Trust) was formed under the laws of the State of New York on June 8, 2006 when Guggenheim Specialized Products, LLC d/b/a Guggenheim Investments (the Sponsor) deposited 1,000 Swedish Kronor in the Trusts primary deposit account held by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., London Branch (the Depository). The Sponsor is a Delaware limited liability company whose sole member is Security Investors, LLC (also d/b/a Guggenheim Investments). The Sponsor is responsible for, among other things, overseeing the performance of The Bank of New York Mellon (the Trustee) and the Trusts principal service providers, including the preparation of financial statements. The Trustee is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the Trust.
The investment objective of the Trust is for the Trusts shares (the Shares) to reflect the price of the Swedish Krona plus accrued interest less the Trusts expenses and liabilities. The Shares are intended to provide investors with a simple, cost-effective means of gaining investment benefits similar to those of holding Swedish Kronor. The Trusts assets primarily consist of Swedish Kronor on demand deposit in two deposit accounts maintained by the Depository: a primary deposit account which may earn interest and a secondary deposit account which does not earn interest. The secondary deposit account is used to account for any interest that may be received and paid out on creations and redemptions of blocks of 50,000 Shares (Baskets). The secondary account is also used to account for interest earned, if any, on the primary deposit account, pay Trust expenses and distribute any excess interest to holders of Shares (Shareholders) on a monthly basis.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the interim period financial statements have been made. Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full-year period. These financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Trusts financial statements included in the Form 10-K as filed on January 14, 2014.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
A. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period and the evaluation of subsequent events through the issuance date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
B. Foreign Currency Translation
The Trustee calculates the Trusts net asset value (NAV) each business day, as described in Note 4. As of November 13, 2008, Swedish Krona deposits (cash) are translated for NAV calculation purposes at the Closing Spot Rate, which is the Swedish Krona/USD exchange rate as determined by The WM Company, at 4:00 PM (London time/London fixing) on each day that NYSE Arca is open for regular trading.
The functional currency of the Trust is the Swedish Krona in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards. For financial statement reporting purposes, the U.S. Dollar is the reporting currency. As a result, the financial records of the Trust are translated from Swedish Kronor to USD. The Closing Spot Rate on the last day of the period is used for translation in the statements of financial condition. The average Closing Spot Rate for the period is used for translation in the statements of income and comprehensive income and the statements of cash flows. Any currency translation adjustment is included in comprehensive income.
6
C. Federal Income Taxes
The Trust is treated as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes and, therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required. Interest, gains and losses are passed through to the Shareholders.
Shareholders generally will be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as if they directly owned a pro-rata share of the assets held in the Trust. Shareholders also will be treated as if they directly received their respective pro-rata portion of the Trusts income, if any, and as if they directly incurred their respective pro-rata portion of the Trusts expenses. The acquisition of Shares by a U.S. Shareholder as part of a creation of a Basket will not be a taxable event to the Shareholder.
The Sponsors fee accrues daily and is payable monthly. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, an accrual-basis U.S. Shareholder generally will be required to take into account as an expense its allocable portion of the USD-equivalent of the amount of the Sponsors fee that is accrued on each day, with such USD-equivalent being determined by the currency exchange rate that is in effect on the respective day. To the extent that the currency exchange rate on the date of payment of the accrued amount of the Sponsors fee differs from the currency exchange rate in effect on the day of accrual, the U.S. Shareholder will recognize a currency gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
The Trust does not expect to generate taxable income except for interest income (if any) and gain (if any) upon the sale of Swedish Kronor. A non-U.S. Shareholder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to gain recognized upon the sale or other disposition of Shares, or upon the sale of Swedish Kronor by the Trust, unless: (1) the non-U.S. Shareholder is an individual and is present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year of the sale or other disposition, and the gain is treated as being from United States sources; or (2) the gain is effectively connected with the conduct by the non-U.S. Shareholder of a trade or business in the United States.
A non-U.S. Shareholders portion of any interest income earned by the Trust generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless the Shares owned by such non-U.S. Shareholder are effectively connected with the conduct by the non-U.S. Shareholder of a trade or business in the United States.
D. Revenue Recognition
Interest on the primary deposit account, if any, accrues daily as earned and is received on a monthly basis.
E. Dividends
To the extent that the interest earned by the Trust exceeds the sum of the Sponsors fee for the prior month plus other Trust expenses, if any, the Trust will distribute, as a dividend (herein referred to as dividends or distributions), the excess interest earned in Swedish Kronor effective on the first business day of the subsequent month. The Trustee will direct that the excess Swedish Kronor be converted into USD at a prevailing market rate and the Trustee will distribute the USD as promptly as practicable to Shareholders on a pro-rata basis (in accordance with the number of Shares that they own). An income distribution of $0.00672 per share with an ex-dividend date of February 3, 2014 was paid on February 10, 2014.
3. Swedish Krona Deposits
Swedish Krona principal deposits are held in a Swedish Krona-denominated, interest-bearing demand account. For the three months ended January 31, 2014, there were no Swedish Krona principal deposits and there were Swedish Krona principal redemptions of 49,746,434, resulting in an ending Swedish Krona principal balance of 348,225,039. This equates to 53,194,989 USD. For the year ended October 31, 2013, there were Swedish Krona principal deposits of 49,746,434 and there were Swedish Krona principal redemptions of 99,492,868, resulting in an ending Swedish Krona principal balance of 397,971,473. This equates to 61,500,293 USD.
Net interest, if any, associated with creation and redemption activity is held in a Swedish Krona-denominated non-interest-bearing account, and any balance is distributed in full as part of the monthly income distributions, if any.
7
4. Redeemable Capital Shares
Shares are classified as redeemable for financial statement purposes, since they are subject to redemption. Shares are issued and redeemed continuously in Baskets in exchange for Swedish Kronor. Individual investors cannot purchase or redeem Shares in direct transactions with the Trust. Only Authorized Participants (as defined below) may place orders to create and redeem Baskets. An Authorized Participant is a Depository Trust Company (DTC) participant that is a registered broker-dealer or other institution eligible to settle securities transactions through the book-entry facilities of DTC and which has entered into a contractual arrangement with the Trust and the Sponsor governing, among other matters, the creation and redemption process. Authorized Participants may redeem their Shares at any time in Baskets.
Due to expected continuing creations and redemptions of Baskets and the three-day period for settlement of each creation or redemption, the Trust reflects Shares created as a receivable. Shares redeemed are reflected as a liability on the trade date. Outstanding Shares are reflected at a redemption value, which is the NAV per Share at the period end date. Adjustments to redeemable capital Shares at redemption value are recorded against retained earnings or, in the absence of retained earnings, by charges against the cumulative translation adjustment.
Activity in redeemable capital Shares is as follows:

The Trustee calculates the Trusts NAV each business day. To calculate the NAV, the Trustee subtracts the Sponsors accrued fee through the previous day from the Swedish Kronor held by the Trust (including all unpaid interest accrued through the preceding day) and calculates the value of the Swedish Kronor in USD based upon the Closing Spot Rate. If, on a particular evaluation day, the Closing Spot Rate has not been determined and announced by 6:00 PM (London time), then the most recent Closing Spot Rate will be used to determine the NAV of the Trust unless the Trustee, in consultation with the Sponsor, determines that such price is inappropriate to use as the basis for the valuation. If the Trustee and the Sponsor determine that the most recent Closing Spot Rate is not an appropriate basis for valuation of the Trusts Swedish Kronor, they will determine an alternative basis for the valuation. The Trustee also determines the NAV per Share, which equals the NAV of the Trust, divided by the number of outstanding Shares. Shares deliverable under a purchase order are considered outstanding for purposes of determining NAV per Share; Shares deliverable under a redemption order are not considered outstanding for this purpose.
8
5. Sponsors Fee
The Sponsors fee accrues daily at an annual nominal rate of 0.40% of the Swedish Kronor in the Trust (including all unpaid interest but excluding unpaid fees, each as accrued through the immediately preceding day) and is paid monthly.
The Sponsor assumes and pays the following administrative and marketing expenses incurred by the Trust: the Trustees monthly fee, NYSE Arca listing fees, SEC registration fees, typical maintenance and transaction fees of the Depository, printing and mailing costs, audit fees and expenses, up to $100,000 per year in legal fees and expenses, and applicable license fees.
In certain exceptional cases the Trust will pay for some expenses in addition to the Sponsors fee. These exceptions include expenses not assumed by the Sponsor (i.e., expenses other than those identified in the preceding paragraph), taxes and governmental charges, expenses and costs of any extraordinary services performed by the Trustee or the Sponsor on behalf of the Trust or action taken by the Trustee or the Sponsor to protect the Trust or the interests of Shareholders, indemnification of the Sponsor under the Depositary Trust Agreement, and legal expenses in excess of $100,000 per year.
6. Related Parties
The Sponsor is a related party of the Trust. The Sponsor oversees the performance of the Trustee and the Trusts principal service providers, including the preparation of financial statements, but does not exercise day-to-day oversight over the Trustee or the Trusts service providers.
7. Concentration Risk
All of the Trusts assets are Swedish Kronor, which creates a concentration risk associated with fluctuations in the price of the Swedish Krona. Accordingly, a decline in the Swedish Krona to USD exchange rate will have an adverse effect on the value of the Shares. Factors that may have the effect of causing a decline in the price of the Swedish Krona include national debt levels and trade deficits, domestic and foreign inflation rates, domestic and foreign interest rates, investment and trading activities of institutions and global or regional political, economic or financial events and situations. Substantial sales of Swedish Kronor by the official sector (central banks, other governmental agencies and related institutions that buy, sell and hold Swedish Kronor as part of their reserve assets) could adversely affect an investment in the Shares.
All of the Trusts Swedish Kronor are held by the Depository. Accordingly, a risk associated with the concentration of the Trusts assets in accounts held by a single financial institution exists and increases the potential for loss by the Trust and the Shareholders in the event that the Depository becomes insolvent.
8. Commitments and Contingencies
Under the Trusts organizational documents, the Sponsor is indemnified against any liability or expense it incurs without negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part. The Trusts maximum exposure under this arrangement is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.

Trust Overview
The CurrencyShares® Swedish Krona Trust (the Trust) is a grantor trust that was formed on June 8, 2006. The Trust issues shares (the Shares) in blocks of 50,000 (a Basket) in exchange for deposits of Swedish Kronor and distributes Swedish Kronor in connection with the redemption of Baskets. The Shares commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker symbol FXS on June 26, 2006. The primary listing of the Shares was transferred to NYSE Arca on October 30, 2007.
The Trust is a passive investment vehicle. The Trust does not have any officers, directors or employees. The investment objective of the Trust is for the Shares to reflect the price of the Swedish Krona plus accrued interest, if any, less the expenses of the Trusts operations. The Trust does not engage in any activities designed to obtain profit from, or ameliorate losses caused by, changes in the price of the Swedish Krona.
Definition of Net Asset Value
The Trustee calculates, and the Sponsor publishes, the Trusts Net Asset Value (NAV) each business day. To calculate the NAV, the Trustee adds to the amount of Swedish Kronor in the Trust at the end of the preceding day accrued but unpaid interest, if any, Swedish Kronor receivable under pending purchase orders and the value of other Trust assets, and subtracts the accrued but unpaid Sponsors fee, Swedish Kronor payable under pending redemption orders and other Trust expenses and liabilities, if any. The NAV is expressed in USD based on the Swedish Krona/USD exchange rate as determined by The WM Company, at 4:00 PM (London time/London fixing) (the Closing Spot Rate) on each day that NYSE Arca is open for regular trading. If, on a particular evaluation day, the Closing Spot Rate has not been determined and announced by 6:00 PM (London time), then the most recent Closing Spot Rate is used to determine the NAV of the Trust unless the Trustee, in consultation with the Sponsor, determines that such price is inappropriate to use as the basis for the valuation.
The Trustee also determines the NAV per Share, which equals the NAV of the Trust, divided by the number of outstanding Shares. The NAV of the Trust and the NAV per Share are published by the Sponsor on each day that NYSE Arca is open for regular trading and are posted on the Trusts website, www.currencyshares.com.
Movements in the Price of the Swedish Krona
The investment objective of the Trust is for the Shares to reflect the price of the Swedish Krona plus accrued interest, less the expenses of the Trusts operations. The Shares are intended to provide institutional and retail investors with a simple, cost-effective means of gaining investment benefits similar to those of holding Swedish Kronor. Each outstanding Share represents a proportional interest in the Swedish Kronor held by the Trust. The

Liquidity
The Sponsor is not aware of any trends, demands, conditions or events that are reasonably likely to result in material changes to the Trusts liquidity needs. The Trusts Depository, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., London Branch, maintains two deposit accounts for the Trust, a primary deposit account that may earn interest and a secondary deposit account that does not earn interest. Interest on the primary deposit account, if any, accrues daily and is paid monthly. The interest rate in effect as of January 31, 2014 was an annual nominal rate of 0.44%. The following chart provides the daily rate paid by the Depository since January 31, 2009:
In exchange for a fee, the Trusts Sponsor bears most of the expense incurred by the Trust. As a result, the only ordinary expense of the Trust during the periods covered by this report was the Sponsors fee. Each month the Depository deposits into the secondary deposit account accrued but unpaid interest, if any, and the Trustee withdraws Swedish Kronor from the secondary deposit account to pay the accrued Sponsors fee for the previous month plus other Trust expenses, if any. When the interest deposited, if any, exceeds the sum of the Sponsors fee for the prior month plus other Trust expenses, if any, the Trustee converts the excess into USD at a prevailing market rate and distributes the USD as promptly as practicable to Shareholders on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the number of Shares that they own). Distributions paid during the current reporting period follow (annualized yield reflects the estimated annual yield an investor would receive if a monthly distribution stayed the same for the entire year going forward, and is calculated by annualizing the monthly distribution and dividing by the Trust NAV for the dates listed below):

Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Sponsors management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period covered by this report.
In addition to the description below, please refer to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our accounting policies.
The functional currency of the Trust is the Swedish Krona in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Translation.
Results of Operations
As of October 31, 2013, the number of Swedish Kronor owned by the Trust was 397,971,473, resulting in a redeemable capital share value of $61,516,024. During the three months ended January 31, 2014, no Shares were created and 50,000 Shares were redeemed in exchange for 49,746,434 Swedish Kronor. As of January 31, 2014, the number of Swedish Kronor owned by the Trust was 348,225,039, resulting in a redeemable capital Share value of $53,197,348.
The decrease in the Trusts redeemable capital Share value from $61,516,024 at October 31, 2013 to $53,197,348 at January 31, 2014, was primarily the result of a decrease in the number of Shares outstanding from 400,000 at October 31, 2013 to 350,000 at January 31, 2014 coupled with a decrease in the Closing Spot Rate from 0.15453 at October 31, 2013 to 0.15276 at January 31, 2014.
Interest income decreased from $146,684 for the three months ended January 31, 2013 to $84,198 for the three months ended January 31, 2014, attributable primarily to a decrease in the weighted-average Swedish Kronor in the Trust coupled with a decrease in the annual nominal interest rate paid by the Depository, as set forth in the chart above.
The Sponsors fee accrues daily at an annual nominal rate of 0.40% of the Swedish Kronor in the Trust. Due primarily to a decrease in the weighted-average Swedish Kronor in the Trust, the Sponsors fee decreased from $68,420 for the three months ended January 31, 2013 to $57,646 for the three months ended January 31, 2014. The only expense of the Trust during the three months ended January 31, 2014 was the Sponsors fee.
The Trusts net income for the three months ended January 31, 2014 was $26,545 due to interest income of $84,191 exceeding the Sponsors fee of $57,646.
Cash dividends per Share decreased from $0.21 per Share for the three months ended January 31, 2013 to $0.10 per Share for the three months ended January 31, 2014. This decrease in cash dividends per Share was primarily due to a decrease in the annual nominal interest rate paid by the Depository.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Except as described above with respect to the Swedish Krona/USD exchange rate and the nominal annual interest rate paid by the Depository on Swedish Kronor held by the Trust, the Trust is not subject to market risk. The Trust does not hold securities and does not invest in derivative instruments.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
The Trust maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) designed to ensure that material information relating to the Trust is recorded, processed and disclosed on a timely basis. The Trusts disclosure controls and procedures are designed by or under the supervision of the Sponsors chief executive officer and chief financial officer, who exercise oversight over the Trust as the Trust has no officers. The chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the Sponsor have evaluated the effectiveness of the Trusts disclosure controls and procedures as of January 31, 2014. Based on that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the Sponsor have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures of the Trust were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
