Re: Guggenheim Defined Portfolios, Series 2025

File Nos. 333-237404 and 811-03763
Dear Mr. Bartz:
This letter responds
to your comments given during a telephone conversation with our office regarding the registration statement on Form S-6 for
Guggenheim Defined Portfolios, Series 2025, filed on March 26, 2020 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).
The registration statement proposes to offer the Total Income Portfolio, Series 21 (the “trust”).
PROSPECTUS
Investment
Summary — Principal Investment Strategy
1.
Please consider whether the trust’s disclosures, including risk disclosures, should be revised based on how events related
to the COVID-19 pandemic may affect the trust and its investments. If the trust believes no additional disclosure is warranted,
please explain supplementally why not.
Response: The
risk disclosure sections will be revised to add language related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Investment
Summary — Principal Risks
2.
The “Security Selection” section states that the trust may invest in exchange-traded funds that invest in floating
rate securities and preferred securities. If an exchange-traded fund invests principally in such securities, please provide the
corresponding risk disclosures.
Response: If
the trust invests in exchange-traded funds that primarily invest in floating rate securities and preferred securities, the trust
will add the corresponding risk disclosures to the appropriate risk section(s).
3.
The duration example in
the seventh bullet under the “Principal Risks” section uses a duration of five years. Please confirm that the average
weighted duration of the underlying funds is approximately five years or less. If not, please revise this example to reflect the
average weighted duration of the underlying funds.
Response: The
sponsor confirms that the average weighted duration of the underlying funds is approximately five years or less and, therefore,
the example does not need to be revised.
Additional
Revision
The trust may also
invest in midstream entities organized as C-corporations as a part of its Alternative Income Securities Segment. Where appropriate,
the strategy disclosure will include references to Midstream C-Corps and use the following definition for midstream entities: “Companies
that provide midstream services including the gathering, transporting, processing, fractionation, storing, refining and distribution
of oil, natural gas liquids and refined petroleum products.”
We appreciate your
prompt attention to this registration statement. If you have any questions or comments or would like to discuss our responses to
your questions, please feel free to contact the undersigned at (312) 845-3484.
Very truly
yours,
Chapman
