Dear Shareholder:

Security Investors, LLC (the “Investment Adviser”) is pleased to present the semi-annual shareholder report for a selection of our exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) for the six-month period ended April 30, 2016.

The Investment Adviser is part of Guggenheim Investments, which represents the investment management businesses of Guggenheim Partners, LLC (“Guggenheim”), a global, diversified financial services firm.

Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC, the distributor of the Funds, is affiliated with Guggenheim and the Investment Adviser.

We encourage you to read the Economic and Market Overview, which follows this letter.

We are committed to providing investors with innovative investment solutions and appreciate the trust you place in us.

Sincerely,

Donald C. Cacciapaglia
President
May 31, 2016

Read a prospectus and summary prospectus (if available) carefully before investing. It contains the investment objectives, risks, charges, expenses, and other information, which should be considered carefully before investing.

ETFs may not be suitable for all investors. ● Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that when shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less than original cost. Most investors will also incur customary brokerage commissions when buying or selling shares of an ETF. ● Investments in securities and derivatives, in general, are subject to market risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. ● ETF shares may trade below their net asset value per share (“NAV”). The NAV of shares will fluctuate with changes in the market value of an ETF’s holdings. In addition, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for shares will develop or be maintained. ● Tracking error risk refers to the risk that the Adviser may not be able to cause the ETF’s performance to match or correlate to that of the ETF’s underlying index, either on a daily or aggregate basis. Tracking error risk may cause the ETF’s performance to be less than you expect.

ECONOMIC AND MARKET OVERVIEW (Unaudited) April 30, 2016

After a very weak start to the year, strong performance in late February through April brought investment markets modestly higher for the full period. Investors returned to higher risk areas of the market. High yield bonds had their best three month returns in more than two years in the first quarter.

Oil prices stabilized and despite disappointment about a lack of near-term coordinated supply cuts, oil remained around $40/barrel on average. We believe we have seen the bottom in oil prices.

Currency issues and growing competitive pressures in China also weighed heavily on the collective investor consciousness.

The economic story in the U.S. continues to be a mix of good and bad. Growth in the U.S. continued at a slow pace. For the first time in two years, first quarter gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth was positive, but disappointed higher market expectations at just 0.5 percent, the weakest pace in two years. Wage growth increased in April after recent disappointing data, and the labor market continued to underwhelm, as the economy inched closer to “full employment.” While a stronger dollar weighed on the U.S. economy earlier in the period, the dollar weakened in the early part of 2016. Also, after several months of disappointing data, retail spending finally started to pick up toward the end of the period. Underlining this soft growth, inflation remained below the Fed’s two percent target.

Outside the U.S., despite the Bank of Japan and the European Central Bank (“ECB”) moving to negative policy rates, deflationary headwinds grew and the euro and yen strengthened — the exact opposite of what central bankers hoped. The Bank of Japan and the ECB are already executing massive quantitative easing programs, but as their balance sheets expand, assets available to purchase shrink. As options for further quantitative easing diminish, negative rates may become an important component of monetary policy orthodoxy.

More monetary liquidity in these countries eventually spills into our own, which accounts for what we are seeing now. Risk assets are rising in value along with falling Treasury yields. The high correlation between risk-free and risk assets is part of the rising tide of liquidity, which is continuing to push risk assets and safe-haven assets higher.

Guggenheim expects further declines in the unemployment rate as job gains outstrip growth in the labor force. Meanwhile, core and headline inflation should move closer to the Fed’s target by year-end, reflecting Guggenheim’s forecasts for a tighter labor market and a modest rise in oil prices. This should curtail the speed at which the Fed anticipates increasing rates in 2016, which Guggenheim would interpret as a sign that the expansion remains intact. A solid macroeconomic backdrop and a rebalancing oil market should support the credit picture in the second half of 2016, but caution is warranted over the summer as recent asset price rallies may fade in the face of global macro risks.

For the six months ended April 30, 2016, the Standard & Poor’s 500^® (“S&P 500”) Index* returned 0.43%. The Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) Europe-Australasia-Far East (“EAFE”) Index* returned -3.07%. The return of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index* was -0.14%.

In the bond market, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index* posted a 2.82% return for the period, while the Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Index* returned 2.37%. The return of the Bank of America (“BofA”) Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index* was 0.14% for the six-month period.

The opinions and forecasts expressed may not actually come to pass. This information is subject to change at any time, based on market and other conditions, and should not be construed as a recommendation of any specific security or strategy.

FEES AND EXPENSES (Unaudited)

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Rydex ETF Trust, you incur transaction costs such as creation and redemption fees or brokerage charges, and ongoing costs including advisory fees, trustee fees and, if applicable, distribution fees. All other Trust expenses are paid by the advisor. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example in the table is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on October 31, 2015 and held for the six months ended April 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not a Fund’s actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as creation and redemption fees, or brokerage charges. Therefore, the second table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Rydex ETF Trust (the “Trust”) is registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as an open-ended investment company of the series type, and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of no par value shares. Each portfolio represents a separate series of beneficial interest in the Trust (each a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”), each a non-diversified investment company. The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on November 22, 2002. At April 30, 2016, the Trust consisted of twenty-one funds.

The financial statements herein relate to the following Funds, whose investment objective is to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the daily performance of an index representing publicly traded equity securities (the “Underlying Index”) as follows:

Fund	Underlying Index
Guggenheim MSCI Emerging Markets Equal Country Weight ETF	MSCI Emerging Markets Equal Country Weighted Index
Guggenheim S&P MidCap 400® Equal Weight ETF	S&P MidCap 400® Equal Weight Index
Guggenheim S&P SmallCap 600® Equal Weight ETF	S&P SmallCap 600® Equal Weight Index
Guggenheim S&P 500® Equal Weight Consumer Discretionary ETF	S&P 500® Equal Weight Index Consumer Discretionary
Guggenheim S&P 500® Equal Weight Consumer Staples ETF	S&P 500® Equal Weight Index Consumer Staples
Guggenheim S&P 500® Equal Weight Energy ETF	S&P 500® Equal  Weight Index Energy
Guggenheim S&P 500® Equal Weight Financials ETF	S&P 500® Equal  Weight Index Financials
Guggenheim S&P 500® Equal Weight Health Care ETF	S&P 500® Equal Weight Index Health Care
Guggenheim S&P 500® Equal Weight Industrials ETF	S&P 500® Equal  Weight Index Industrials
Guggenheim S&P 500® Equal Weight Materials ETF	S&P 500® Equal  Weight Index Materials
Guggenheim S&P 500® Equal Weight Real Estate ETF	S&P 500® Equal Weight Real Estate Index
Guggenheim S&P 500® Equal Weight Technology ETF	S&P 500® Equal Weight Index Information Technology
Guggenheim S&P 500® Equal Weight Utilities ETF	S&P 500® Equal Weight Index Telecommunication Services and Utilities

The Funds seek to achieve their objective by investing in common stocks or exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), where applicable, that comprise the Underlying Index. The Funds use a “replication” strategy to track the Underlying Index. Replication refers to investing in substantially all of the securities in the Underlying Index in approximately the same proportions as in the Underlying Index.

The Funds operate as index funds and are not actively managed. Adverse performance of a security in the Funds’ portfolio will ordinarily not result in the elimination of the security from the Funds’ portfolio.

The Funds issue and redeem shares on a continuous basis, at net asset value per share (“NAV”), only in aggregation of 50,000 shares (100,000 shares for the Guggenheim MSCI Emerging Markets Equal Country Weight ETF) called a “Creation Unit”. Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in the Underlying Index.

The Funds invest in various investments which are exposed to risk, such as market risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect amounts reported in the financial statements.

Guggenheim Investments (“GI”) provides advisory services and Rydex Fund Services, LLC (“RFS”) provides administrative services to the Trust. Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC (“GFD”) acts as principal underwriter for the Trust. GI, RFS and GFD are affiliated entities.

Significant Accounting Policies

The Funds operate as investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies.

The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and are consistently followed by the Trust. This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. All time references are based on Eastern Time.

A. The Board of Trustees of the Funds (the “Board”) has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the Funds’ investments (the “Valuation Procedures”). Pursuant to the Valuation Procedures, the Board has delegated to a valuation committee, consisting of representatives from Guggenheim’s investment

GUGGENHEIM ETFs SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT | 81

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

management, fund administration, legal and compliance departments (the “Valuation Committee”), the day-to-day responsibility for implementing the Valuation Procedures, including, under most circumstances, the responsibility for determining the fair value of the Funds’ securities or other assets.

Valuations of the Funds’ securities are supplied primarily by pricing services appointed pursuant to the processes set forth in the Valuation Procedures. The Valuation Committee convenes monthly, or more frequently as needed and will review the valuation of all assets which have been fair valued for reasonableness. The Funds’ officers, through the Valuation Committee and consistent with the monitoring and review responsibilities set forth in the Valuation Procedures, regularly review procedures used by, and valuations provided by, the pricing services.

If the pricing service cannot or does not provide a valuation for a particular investment or such valuation is deemed unreliable, such investment is fair valued by the Valuation Committee.

Equity securities listed on an exchange (New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) or American Stock Exchange) are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the close of business on the NYSE, usually 4:00 p.m. on the valuation date. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ market system are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price on the valuation date, which may not necessarily represent the last sale price. If there has been no sale on such exchange or NASDAQ on a given day, the security is valued at the closing bid price on that day.

Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of foreign securities are determined as of the close of such foreign markets or the close of the NYSE, if earlier. All investments quoted in foreign currency are valued in U.S. dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates prevailing at the close of business. Investments in foreign securities may involve risks not present in domestic investments. The Valuation Committee will determine the current value of such foreign securities by taking into consideration certain factors which may include those discussed above, as well as the following factors, among others: the value of the securities traded on other foreign markets, ADR trading, closed-end fund trading, foreign currency exchange activity, and the trading prices of financial products that are tied to foreign securities. In addition, the Board has authorized the Valuation Committee and GI to use prices and other information supplied by a third party pricing vendor in valuing foreign securities.

The Funds invest in money market mutual funds, which are valued at their NAV. ETFs are valued at the last quoted sales price.

Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued as determined in good faith by GI under the direction of the Board of Trustees using methods established or ratified by the Board of Trustees. Valuations in accordance with these methods are intended to reflect each security’s (or asset’s) “fair value.” Each such determination is based on a consideration of all relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context 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).

B. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Trust 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 and loss from investments.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies and currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on investment transactions. Net unrealized exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair

82 | GUGGENHEIM ETFs SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

values of assets and liabilities other than investments insecurities at the fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

C. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded using the identified cost basis. Proceeds from lawsuits related to investment holdings are recorded as realized gains in the respective Fund. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of applicable taxes withheld by foreign countries. Taxable non-cash dividends are recorded as dividend income. Interest income, including amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, is accrued on a daily basis. Dividend income from REITs is recorded based on the income included in the distributions received from the REIT investments using published REIT classifications, including some management estimates when actual amounts are not available. Distributions received in excess of this estimated amount are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains. The actual amounts of income, return of capital, and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after its fiscal year-end, and may differ from the estimated amounts.

D. Distributions of net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP.

E. The Funds may leave cash overnight in their cash account with the custodian. Periodically, a Fund may have cash due to the custodian bank as an overdraft balance. A fee is incurred on this overdraft, calculated by multiplying the overdraft by a rate based on the federal funds rate, which was 0.30% at April 30, 2016.

F. Under the Funds’ organizational documents, their Trustees and Officers are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, throughout the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds and/or their affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

2. Capital

There is a minimum transaction fee per transaction to those persons purchasing or redeeming Creation Units. An additional charge of up to three times the standard transaction fee may be imposed for purchases and redemptions effected outside the National Securities Clearing Corporation usual clearing process or for cash. Such transactions are generally permitted on an in-kind basis, with a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the NAV of the Fund on the transaction date. Transaction fees are not charged to or paid by the Funds. The minimum transaction fees are:

Fund	Minimum Transaction Fee
Guggenheim MSCI Emerging Markets Equal Country Weight ETF	$ 6,000
Guggenheim S&P MidCap 400® Equal Weight ETF	2,000
Guggenheim S&P SmallCap 600® Equal Weight ETF	3,000
Guggenheim S&P 500® Equal Weight Consumer Discretionary ETF	750

Guggenheim S&P 500® Equal Weight Real Estate ETF	500
Guggenheim S&P 500® Equal Weight Technology ETF	750
Guggenheim S&P 500® Equal Weight Utilities ETF	500

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

GI determines the composition of the portfolio of securities that must be delivered in exchange for the issuance of Creation Units and periodically adjusts the composition of the portfolio of the Funds to conform to changes in the composition of the relevant index. For these services, GI receives a management fee at the annual rate shown below as a percentage of the average daily net assets of the Funds.

Fund	Advisory Fee
Guggenheim MSCI Emerging Markets Equal Country Weight ETF	0.70%
Guggenheim S&P MidCap 400® Equal Weight ETF	0.40%

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

GI pays all expenses of the Funds, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, fund accounting, legal, audit and other services, except: interest, taxes, distribution fees or expenses, trustee fees (where applicable) and extraordinary expenses.

Under a Fund Administration Agreement with the Trust, RFS provides various administrative and financial reporting services for the Funds. GI compensates RFS directly for this service.

Under a Fund Accounting Agreement with the Trust, BNYMellon maintains the books and records of the Funds. Under a Custodian Agreement with the Trust, BNYMellon maintains cash, securities and other assets of the Funds in a separate account for the Funds, keeps all necessary accounts and records, and provides other services. BNYMellon is required, upon the order of the Trust, to deliver securities held by the custodian and to make payments for securities purchased by the Trust for the Funds. Pursuant to a Transfer Agency and Service Agreement with the Trust, BNYMellon acts as a transfer agent for the Trust’s authorized and issued shares of beneficial interest, and as dividend disbursing agent of the Trust. GI compensates BNYMellon directly for the foregoing services.

For the Guggenheim MSCI Emerging Markets Equal Country Weight ETF, GI has contractually agreed to reduce fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to keep the Fund’s net operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, dividends on securities sold short, distribution fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses (“Excluded Expenses”)) plus Acquired Fund Fees and Expense borne indirectly, from exceeding 0.70% of the Fund’s average daily net assets until February 28, 2017. This agreement may be terminated only with the approval of the Fund’s Board. In any event, this undertaking will continue until at least February 28, 2017.

The Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) that allows the Funds to pay distribution fees to GFD and other firms that provide distribution services (“Service Providers”). If a Service Provider provides distribution services, the Funds will pay distribution fees to GFD at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of average daily net assets, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. GFD will, in turn, pay the Service Provider out of its fees. No such fee is currently charged to the Funds.

Certain trustees and officers of the Trust are also officers of GI, RFS and GFD.

4. Fair Value Measurement

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that the Funds would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy based on the types of inputs used to value assets and liabilities and requires corresponding disclosure. The hierarchy and the corresponding inputs are summarized below:

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

The types of inputs available depend on a variety of factors, such as the type of security and the characteristics of the markets in which it trades, if any. Fair valuation determinations that rely on fewer or no observable inputs require greater judgment. Accordingly, fair value determinations for Level 3 securities require the greatest amount of judgment.

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The suitability of the techniques and sources employed to determine fair valuation are regularly monitored and subject to change.

5. Portfolio Securities Loaned

Each Fund may lend portfolio securities to certain creditworthy borrowers, including the Funds’ securities lending agent. The loans are collateralized at all times by cash and/or high grade debt obligations in an amount at least equal to 102% of the market value of domestic securities loaned and 105% of foreign securities loaned as determined at the close of business on the preceding business day. The cash collateral received is held in a separately managed account established for each respective Fund and maintained by the lending agent exclusively for the investment of securities lending cash collateral on behalf of each Fund. The separately managed accounts invest in short-term investments valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Each Fund receives compensation for lending

84 | GUGGENHEIM ETFs SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash, cash equivalents or U.S. government securities held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower plus reasonable administrative and custody fees paid to the lending agent. Such compensation is accrued daily and payable to the Fund monthly. The dividend and interest income earned on the securities loaned is accounted for in the same manner as other dividend and interest income. The borrower pays to the Funds an amount equal to any dividends or interest received on loaned securities. These payments from the borrower are not eligible for reduced tax rates as “qualified dividend income” under the Jobs and Growth Tax Reconciliation Act of 2003. The Funds retain all or a portion of the interest received on investment of cash collateral or receives a fee from the borrower. Lending portfolio securities could result in a loss or delay in recovering each Fund’s securities if the borrower defaults. The securities lending income earned by the Funds are disclosed on the Statements of Operations.

At April 30, 2016, the Funds participated in securities lending as follows:

Fund	Value of Securities Loaned		Cash Collateral
Guggenheim MSCI Emerging Markets Equal Country Weight ETF	$	329,256	$	342,527
Guggenheim S&P MidCap 400® Equal Weight ETF		8,682,970		8,900,951
Guggenheim S&P SmallCap 600® Equal Weight ETF		5,174,023		5,332,110
Guggenheim S&P 500® Equal Weight Consumer Discretionary ETF		7,336,201		7,501,294
Guggenheim S&P 500® Equal Weight Energy ETF		31,235,838		32,416,693
Guggenheim S&P 500® Equal Weight Industrials ETF		1,025,104		1,050,774
Guggenheim S&P 500® Equal Weight Materials ETF		2,699,936		2,772,457
Guggenheim S&P 500® Equal Weight Technology ETF		24,366,279		24,936,384
Guggenheim S&P 500® Equal Weight Utilities ETF		12,735,886		13,097,670

In the event of counterparty default, the Funds have the right to collect the collateral to offset losses incurred. There is potential loss to the Funds in the event the Funds are delayed or prevented from exercising their rights to dispose of the collateral securities, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Funds seek to assert their rights. GI, acting under the supervision of the Board, reviews the value of the collateral and the creditworthiness of those banks and dealers to evaluate potential risks.

6. Federal Income Tax Information

The Funds intend to comply with the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and will distribute substantially all taxable net investment income and capital gains sufficient to relieve the Funds from all, or substantially all, federal income, excise and state income taxes. Therefore, no provision for federal or state income tax is required.

Tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns are evaluated to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken, or to be taken, on Federal income tax returns for all open tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds’ federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years after they are filed.

GUGGENHEIM ETFs SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT | 85

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

8. Legal Proceedings

Tribune Company

Rydex ETF Trust has been named as a defendant and a putative member of the proposed defendant class of shareholders in the case entitled Kirschner v. FitzSimons, No. 12-2652 (S.D.N.Y.) (formerly Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Tribune Co. v. FitzSimons, Adv. Pro. No. 10-54010 (Bankr. D. Del.)) (the “FitzSimons action”), as a result of ownership of shares by certain series of the Rydex ETF Trust in the Tribune Company (“Tribune”) in 2007, when Tribune effected a leveraged buyout transaction (“LBO”) by which Tribune converted to a privately-held company. In his complaint, the plaintiff has alleged that, in connection with the LBO, insiders and shareholders were overpaid for their Tribune stock using financing that the insiders knew would, and ultimately did, leave the Tribune Company insolvent. The plaintiff has asserted claims against certain insiders, major shareholders, professional advisers, and others involved in the LBO. The plaintiff is also attempting to obtain from former Tribune shareholders, including Rydex ETF Trust, the proceeds they received in connection with the LBO.

In June 2011, a group of Tribune creditors filed multiple actions against former Tribune shareholders involving state law constructive fraudulent conveyance claims arising out of the 2007 LBO (the “SLCFC actions”). Rydex ETF Trust has been named as a defendant in one of the SLCFC actions: Deutsche Bank Trust Co. Americas v. McGurn, No. 11-1510 (S.D.N.Y.). In those actions, the creditors seek to recover from Tribune’s former shareholders the proceeds received in connection with the 2007 LBO.

GUGGENHEIM ETFs SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT | 87

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(concluded)

The FitzSimons action and the SLCFC actions have been consolidated with the majority of the other Tribune LBO-related lawsuits in a multidistrict litigation proceeding captioned In re Tribune Company Fraudulent Conveyance Litig., No. 11-md-2696 (S.D.N.Y.) (the “MDL Proceeding”).

On September 23, 2013, the District Court granted the defendants’ omnibus motion to dismiss the SLCFC actions, on the basis that the creditors lacked standing. On September 30, 2013, the creditors filed a notice of appeal of the September 23 order. On October 28, 2013, the defendants filed a joint notice of cross-appeal of that same order.

On May 23, 2014, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the FitzSimons action, including a global motion to dismiss Count I, which is the claim brought against former Tribune shareholders for intentional fraudulent conveyance under U.S. federal law. The Court has not yet issued a decision on any of these motions.

On March 29, 2016, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued its opinion on the appeal of the SLCFC actions. The appeals court affirmed the district court’s dismissal of those lawsuits, but on different grounds than the district court. The appeals court held that while the plaintiffs have standing under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code), their claims were preempted by Section 546(e) of the Bankruptcy Code—the statutory safe harbor for settlement payments.

None of these lawsuits alleges any wrongdoing on the part of Rydex ETF Trust. The following series of Rydex ETF Trust held shares of Tribune and tendered these shares as part of Tribune’s LBO: Guggenheim S&P 500^® Equal Weight Consumer Discretionary Fund (the “Fund”). The value of the proceeds received by the foregoing Fund was $249,481. At this stage of the proceedings, Rydex ETF Trust is not able to make a reliable prediction as to the outcome of these lawsuits or the effect, if any, on the Fund’s net asset value.

9. Fund Changes

At a meeting held on October 14, 2015, GI recommended and the Board approved the following changes to the following Funds:

A. The Underlying Index for the Guggenheim Russell MidCap^® Equal Weight ETF (ticker EWRM) will change from the Russell MidCap^® Equal Weight Index to the S&P MidCap 400^® Equal Weight Index. In connection with the change in the Fund’s Underlying Index, the Board also approved changing the Fund’s name and ticker to Guggenheim S&P MidCap 400^® Equal Weight ETF (new ticker EWMC). The changes in index, Fund name and Fund ticker became effective on January 26, 2016.

B. The Underlying Index for the Guggenheim Russell 2000^® Equal Weight ETF (ticker EWRS) will change from the Russell 2000^® Equal Weight Index to the S&P SmallCap 600^® Equal Weight Index. In connection with the change in the Fund’s Underlying Index, the Board also approved changing the Fund’s name and ticker to Guggenheim S&P SmallCap 600^® Equal Weight ETF (new ticker EWSC). The changes in index, Fund name and Fund ticker became effective on January 26, 2016.

Rydex Funds, Guggenheim Funds, Rydex Investments, Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC, Security Investors, LLC, Security Distributors, Inc., Guggenheim Partners Investment Managers, LLC, and Rydex Advisory Services (Collectively “Guggenheim Investments”).

Our Commitment to You

When you become a Guggenheim Investments investor, you entrust us with not only your hard-earned money but also with personal and financial information about you. We recognize that your relationship with us is based on trust and that you expect us to act responsibly and in your best interests. Because we have access to this private information about you, we hold ourselves to the highest standards in its safekeeping and use. This means, most importantly, that we do not sell client information to anyone—whether it is your personal information or if you are a current or former Guggenheim Investments client.

The Information We Collect About You

In the course of doing business with shareholders and investors, we collect nonpublic personal information about you. You typically provide personal information when you complete a Guggenheim Investments account application or when you request a transaction that involves Rydex and Guggenheim Investments funds or one of the Guggenheim Investments affiliated companies. “Nonpublic personal information” is personally identifiable private information about you. For example, it includes information regarding your name and address, Social Security or taxpayer identification number, assets, income, account balance, bank account information and investment activity (e.g., purchase and redemption history).

How We Handle Your Personal Information

As emphasized above, we do not sell information about current or former clients or their accounts to third parties. Nor do we share such information, except when necessary to complete transactions at your request or to make you aware of related investment products and services that we offer. Additional details about how we handle your personal information are provided below. To complete certain transactions or account changes that you direct, it may be necessary to provide identifying information to companies, individuals or groups that are not affiliated with Guggenheim Investments. For example, if you ask to transfer assets from another financial institution to Guggenheim Investments, we will need to provide certain information about you to that company to complete the transaction. To alert you to other Guggenheim Investments investment products and services, we may share your information within the Guggenheim Investments family of affiliated companies. This would include, for example, sharing your information within Guggenheim Investments so we can make you aware of new Rydex and Guggenheim Investments funds or the services offered through another Guggenheim Investments affiliated company. In certain instances, we may contract with nonaffiliated companies to perform services for us. Where necessary, we will disclose information we have about you to these third parties. In all such cases, we provide the third party with only the information necessary to carry out its assigned responsibilities and only for that purpose. And we require these third parties to treat your private information with the same high degree of confidentiality that we do. In certain instances, we may share information with other financial institutions regarding individuals and entities in response to the U.S.A. Patriot Act. Finally, we will release information about you if you direct us to do so, if we are compelled by law to do so or in other circumstances permitted by law.

Opt Out Provisions

We do not sell your personal information to anyone. The law allows you to “opt out” of only certain kinds of information sharing with third parties. The firm does not share personal information about you with any third parties that triggers this opt-out right. This means YOU ARE ALREADY OPTED OUT.

ETFs may not be suitable for all investors. ● Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that when shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less than original cost. Most investors will also incur customary brokerage commissions when buying or selling shares of an ETF. ● Investments in securities and derivatives, in general, are subject to market risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. ● ETF shares may trade below their net asset value per share (“NAV”). The NAV of shares will fluctuate with changes in the market value of an ETF’s holdings. In addition, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for shares will develop or be maintained. ● Tracking error risk refers to the risk that the Adviser may not be able to cause the ETF’s performance to match or correlate to that of the ETF’s underlying index, either on a daily or aggregate basis. Tracking error risk may cause the ETF’s performance to be less than you expect.

ECONOMIC AND MARKET OVERVIEW (Unaudited) April 30, 2016

After a very weak start to the year, strong performance in late February through April brought investment markets modestly higher for the full period. Investors returned to higher risk areas of the market. High yield bonds had their best three month returns in more than two years in the first quarter.

Oil prices stabilized and despite disappointment about a lack of near-term coordinated supply cuts, oil remained around $40/barrel on average. We believe we have seen the bottom in oil prices.

Currency issues and growing competitive pressures in China also weighed heavily on the collective investor consciousness.

The economic story in the U.S. continues to be a mix of good and bad. Growth in the U.S. continued at a slow pace. For the first time in two years, first quarter gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth was positive, but disappointed higher market expectations at just 0.5 percent, the weakest pace in two years. Wage growth increased in April after recent disappointing data, and the labor market continued to underwhelm, as the economy inched closer to “full employment.” While a stronger dollar weighed on the U.S. economy earlier in the period, the dollar weakened in the early part of 2016. Also, after several months of disappointing data, retail spending finally started to pick up toward the end of the period. Underlining this soft growth, inflation remained below the Fed’s two percent target.

Outside the U.S., despite the Bank of Japan and the European Central Bank (“ECB”) moving to negative policy rates, deflationary headwinds grew and the euro and yen strengthened -- the exact opposite of what central bankers hoped. The Bank of Japan and the ECB are already executing massive quantitative easing programs, but as their balance sheets expand, assets available to purchase shrink. As options for further quantitative easing diminish, negative rates may become an important component of monetary policy orthodoxy.

More monetary liquidity in these countries eventually spills into our own, which accounts for what we are seeing now. Risk assets are rising in value along with falling Treasury yields. The high correlation between risk-free and risk assets is part of the rising tide of liquidity, which is continuing to push risk assets and safe-haven assets higher.

Guggenheim expects further declines in the unemployment rate as job gains outstrip growth in the labor force. Meanwhile, core and headline inflation should move closer to the Fed’s target by year-end, reflecting Guggenheim’s forecasts for a tighter labor market and a modest rise in oil prices. This should curtail the speed at which the Fed anticipates increasing rates in 2016, which Guggenheim would interpret as a sign that the expansion remains intact. A solid macroeconomic backdrop and a rebalancing oil market should support the credit picture in the second half of 2016, but caution is warranted over the summer as recent asset price rallies may fade in the face of global macro risks.

For the six months ended April 30, 2016, the Standard & Poor’s 500^® (“S&P 500”) Index* returned 0.43%. The Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) Europe-Australasia-Far East (“EAFE”) Index* returned -3.07%. The return of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index* was -0.14%.

In the bond market, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index* posted a 2.82% return for the period, while the Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Index* returned 2.37%. The return of the Bank of America (“BofA”) Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index* was 0.14% for the six-month period.

FEES AND EXPENSES (Unaudited)

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Rydex ETF Trust, you incur transaction costs such as creation and redemption fees or brokerage charges, and ongoing costs including advisory fees, trustee fees and, if applicable, distribution fees. All other Trust expenses are paid by the advisor. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example in the table is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on October 31, 2015 and held for the six months ended April 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not a Fund’s actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as creation and redemption fees, or brokerage charges. Therefore, the second table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Rydex ETF Trust (the “Trust”) is registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as an open-ended investment company of the series type, and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of no par value shares. Each portfolio represents a separate series of beneficial interest in the Trust (each a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”), each a non-diversified investment company. The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on November 22, 2002. At April 30, 2016, the Trust consisted of twenty-one funds.

The financial statements herein relate to the following Funds, whose investment objective is to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the daily performance of an index representing publicly traded equity securities (the “Underlying Index”) as follows:

Fund	Underlying Index
Guggenheim S&P 500® Top 50 ETF	S&P 500® Top 50 Index
Guggenheim S&P 500® Pure Value ETF	S&P 500® Pure Value Index
Guggenheim S&P 500® Pure Growth ETF	S&P 500® Pure Growth Index
Guggenheim S&P MidCap 400® Pure Value ETF	S&P MidCap 400® Pure Value Index
Guggenheim S&P MidCap 400® Pure Growth ETF	S&P MidCap 400® Pure Growth Index
Guggenheim S&P SmallCap 600® Pure Value ETF	S&P SmallCap 600® Pure Value Index
Guggenheim S&P SmallCap 600® Pure Growth ETF	S&P SmallCap 600® Pure Growth Index

The Funds seek to achieve their objective by investing in common stocks that comprise the Underlying Index. The Funds use a “replication” strategy to track the Underlying Index. Replication refers to investing in substantially all of the securities in the Underlying Index in approximately the same proportions as in the Underlying Index.

The Funds operate as index funds and are not actively managed. Adverse performance of a security in the Funds’ portfolio will ordinarily not result in the elimination of the security from the Funds’ portfolio.

The Funds issue and redeem shares on a continuous basis, at net asset value per share (“NAV”), only in aggregation of 50,000 shares (a “Creation Unit”). Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in the Underlying Index.

The Funds invest in various investments which are exposed to risk, such as market risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect amounts reported in the financial statements.

Guggenheim Investments (“GI”) provides advisory services and Rydex Fund Services, LLC (“RFS”) provides administrative services to the Trust. Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC (“GFD”) acts as principal underwriter for the Trust. GI, RFS and GFD are affiliated entities.

Significant Accounting Policies

The Funds operate as investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies.

The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and are consistently followed by the Trust. This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. All time references are based on Eastern Time.

A. The Board of Trustees of the Funds (the “Board”) has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the Funds’ investments (the “Valuation Procedures”). Pursuant to the Valuation Procedures, the Board has delegated to a valuation committee, consisting of representatives from Guggenheim’s investment management, fund administration, legal and compliance departments (the “Valuation Committee”), the day-to-day responsibility for implementing the Valuation Procedures, including, under most circumstances, the responsibility for determining the fair value of the Funds' securities or other assets.

Valuations of the Funds’ securities are supplied primarily by pricing services appointed pursuant to the processes set forth in the Valuation Procedures. The Valuation Committee convenes monthly, or more frequently as needed and will review the valuation of all assets which have been fair valued for reasonableness. The

GUGGENHEIM ETFs SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT | 45

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

Funds’ officers, through the Valuation Committee and consistent with the monitoring and review responsibilities set forth in the Valuation Procedures, regularly review procedures used by, and valuations provided by, the pricing services.

If the pricing service cannot or does not provide a valuation for a particular investment or such valuation is deemed unreliable, such investment is fair valued by the Valuation Committee.

Equity securities listed on an exchange (New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) or American Stock Exchange) are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the close of business on the NYSE, usually 4:00 p.m. on the valuation date. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ market system are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price on the valuation date, which may not necessarily represent the last sale price. If there has been no sale on such exchange or NASDAQ on a given day, the security is valued at the closing bid price on that day.

The Funds invest in money market mutual funds, which are valued at their NAV.

Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued as determined in good faith by GI under the direction of the Board of Trustees using methods established or ratified by the Board of Trustees. Valuations in accordance with these methods are intended to reflect each security’s (or asset’s) “fair value.” Each such determination is based on a consideration of all relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context 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).

B. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded using the identified cost basis. Proceeds from lawsuits related to investment holdings are recorded as realized gains in the respective Fund. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of applicable taxes withheld by foreign countries. Taxable non-cash dividends are recorded as dividend income. Interest income, including amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, is accrued on a daily basis. Dividend income from REITs is recorded based on the income included in the distributions received from the REIT investments using published REIT classifications, including some management estimates when actual amounts are not available. Distributions received in excess of this estimated amount are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains. The actual amounts of income, return of capital, and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after its fiscal year-end, and may differ from the estimated amounts.

C. Distributions of net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP.

D. The Funds may leave cash overnight in their cash account with the custodian. Periodically, a Fund may have cash due to the custodian bank as an overdraft balance. A fee is incurred on this overdraft, calculated by multiplying the overdraft by a rate based on the federal funds rate, which was 0.30% at April 30, 2016.

E. Under the Funds’ organizational documents, their Trustees and Officers are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, throughout the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds and/or their affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

2. Capital

There is a minimum transaction fee per transaction to those persons purchasing or redeeming Creation Units. An additional charge of up to three times the standard transaction fee may be imposed for purchases and redemptions effected outside the National Securities Clearing Corporation usual clearing process or for cash. Such transactions are generally permitted on an in-kind

46 | GUGGENHEIM ETFs SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

basis, with a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the NAV of the Fund on the transaction date. Transaction fees are not charged to or paid by the Funds. The minimum transaction fees are:

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

GI determines the composition of the portfolio of securities that must be delivered in exchange for the issuance of Creation Units and periodically adjusts the composition of the portfolio of the Funds to conform to changes in the composition of the relevant index. For these services, GI receives a management fee at the annual rate shown below as a percentage of the average daily net assets of the Funds.

Fund	Advisory Fee
Guggenheim S&P 500® Top 50 ETF	0.20%
Guggenheim S&P 500® Pure Value ETF	0.35%
Guggenheim S&P 500® Pure Growth ETF	0.35%
Guggenheim S&P MidCap 400® Pure Value ETF	0.35%
Guggenheim S&P MidCap 400® Pure Growth ETF	0.35%
Guggenheim S&P SmallCap 600® Pure Value ETF	0.35%
Guggenheim S&P SmallCap 600® Pure Growth ETF	0.35%

GI pays all expenses of the Funds, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, fund accounting, legal, audit and other services, except: interest, taxes, distribution fees or expenses and extraordinary expenses.

Under a Fund Administration Agreement with the Trust, RFS provides various administrative and financial reporting services for the Funds. GI compensates RFS directly for this service.

Under a Fund Accounting Agreement with the Trust, BNYMellon maintains the books and records of the Funds. Under a Custodian Agreement with the Trust, BNYMellon maintains cash, securities and other assets of the Funds in a separate account for the Funds, keeps all necessary accounts and records, and provides other services. BNYMellon is required, upon the order of the Trust, to deliver securities held by the custodian and to make payments for securities purchased by the Trust for the Funds. Pursuant to a Transfer Agency and Service Agreement with the Trust, BNYMellon acts as a transfer agent for the Trust’s authorized and issued shares of beneficial interest, and as dividend disbursing agent of the Trust. GI compensates BNYMellon directly for the foregoing services.

The Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) that allows the Funds to pay distribution fees to GFD and other firms that provide distribution services (“Service Providers”). If a Service Provider provides distribution services, the Funds will pay distribution fees to GFD at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of average daily net assets, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. GFD will, in turn, pay the Service Provider out of its fees. No such fee is currently charged to the Funds.

Certain trustees and officers of the Trust are also officers of GI, RFS and GFD.

4. Fair Value Measurement

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that the Funds would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy based on the types of inputs used to value assets and liabilities and requires corresponding disclosure. The hierarchy and the corresponding inputs are summarized below:

Level 1 —  quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3 —  significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

The types of inputs available depend on a variety of factors, such as the type of security and the characteristics of the markets in which it trades, if any. Fair valuation determinations that rely on fewer or no observable inputs require greater judgment. Accordingly, fair value determinations for Level 3 securities require the greatest amount of judgment.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The suitability of the techniques and sources employed to determine fair valuation are regularly monitored and subject to change.

5. Portfolio Securities Loaned

Each Fund may lend portfolio securities to certain creditworthy borrowers, including the Funds’ securities lending agent. The loans are collateralized at all times by cash and/or high grade debt obligations in an amount at least equal to 102% of the market value of domestic securities loaned and 105% of foreign securities loaned as determined at the close of business on the preceding business day. The cash collateral received is held in a separately managed account established for each respective Fund and maintained by the lending agent exclusively for the investment of securities lending cash collateral on behalf of each Fund. The separately managed accounts invest in short-term investments valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Each Fund receives compensation for lending securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash, cash equivalents or U.S. government securities held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower plus reasonable administrative and custody fees paid to the lending agent. Such compensation is accrued daily and payable to the Fund monthly. The dividend and interest income earned on the securities loaned is accounted for in the same manner as other dividend and interest income. The borrower pays to the Funds an amount equal to any dividends or interest received on loaned securities. These payments from the borrower are not eligible for reduced tax rates as “qualified dividend income” under the Jobs and Growth Tax Reconciliation Act of 2003. The Funds retain all or a portion of the interest received on investment of cash collateral or receives a fee from the borrower. Lending portfolio securities could result in a loss or delay in recovering each Fund’s securities if the borrower defaults. The securities lending income earned by the Funds are disclosed on the Statements of Operations.

At April 30, 2016, the Funds participated in securities lending as follows:

Fund	Value of Securities Loaned		Cash Collateral
Guggenheim S&P 500® Pure Value ETF	$	50,729,089	$	52,015,507
Guggenheim S&P 500® Pure Growth ETF		48,183,774		49,238,062
Guggenheim S&P MidCap 400® Pure Value ETF		23,399,427		24,026,826

Guggenheim S&P SmallCap 600® Pure Growth ETF		25,474,272		26,055,389

In the event of counterparty default, the Funds have the right to collect the collateral to offset losses incurred. There is potential loss to the Funds in the event the Funds are delayed or prevented from exercising their rights to dispose of the collateral securities, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Funds seek to assert their rights. GI, acting under the supervision of the Board, reviews the value of the collateral and the creditworthiness of those banks and dealers to evaluate potential risks.

6. Federal Income Tax Information

The Funds intend to comply with the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and will distribute substantially all taxable net investment income and capital gains sufficient to relieve the Funds from all, or substantially all, federal income, excise and state income taxes. Therefore, no provision for federal or state income tax is required.

Tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds' tax returns are evaluated to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the Funds' tax positions taken, or to be taken, on Federal income tax returns for all open tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds' financial statements. The Funds' federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years after they are filed.

8. Legal Proceedings

Lyondell Chemical Company

In December 2011, Rydex ETF Trust was named as a defendant in Weisfelner, as Trustee of the LB Creditor Trust, v. Fund 1 (In re Lyondell Chemical Co.), Adv. Pro. No. 10-4609 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y.) (the “Creditor Trust Action”).

Similar to the claims made in the Tribune matter, the Weisfelner complaint seeks to have set aside and recovered as fraudulent transfers from former Lyondell Chemical Company (“Lyondell”) shareholders the consideration paid to them pursuant to the cash out merger of Lyondell shareholders in connection with the combination of Lyondell and Basell AF in 2007. Lyondell filed for bankruptcy in 2008.

On April 7, 2014, the plaintiff filed a Third Amended Complaint. In the related action entitled Weisfelner, as Trustee of the LB Litigation Trust v. A. Holmes & H. Holmes TTEE (In re Lyondell Co.), Adversary Proceeding No. 10-5525 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y.) (the “Litigation Trust Action”), the plaintiff also filed a Second Amended Complaint that alleges a claim against the former Lyondell shareholders under federal law for intentional fraudulent transfer. A third related action against the former Lyondell shareholders, Weisfelner, as Trustee of the LB Creditor Trust v. Reichman, Adversary Proceeding No. 12-1570 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y.) (the “Reichman Action”), is pending as well.

On May 8, 2014, the plaintiff in the Litigation Trust action filed a motion to certify a defendant class generally comprised of all former Lyondell shareholders that received proceeds in exchange for their shares in the 2007 merger transaction.

On July 30, 2014, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss these lawsuits. The Court held oral argument on the motions to dismiss and on the motion for class certification on January 14 and January 15, 2015. On September 15, 2015, the Bankruptcy Court denied the motion for class certification without prejudice to the plaintiff’s right to file a renewed motion.

On November 18, 2015, the Bankruptcy Court granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss the Litigation Trust Action and denied their motion to dismiss the Creditor Trust and Reichman Actions. The Litigation Trust Action is now over, but the plaintiff has appealed the dismissal to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

On May 4, 2016, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss, or in the alternative, for a stay of, the Creditor Trust and Reichman actions in light of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit’s opinion affirming the dismissal of lawsuits filed against former Tribune shareholders involving state law constructive fraudulent conveyance claims arising out of the 2007 leveraged buyout of the Tribune Company. The Bankruptcy Court has not yet issued a decision on the motion. Discovery has commenced, and will continue, in the Creditor Trust and Reichman Actions while the May 4 motion is pending.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(concluded)

This lawsuit does not allege any wrongdoing on the part of Rydex ETF Trust. The following series of Rydex ETF Trust received cash proceeds from the merger in the following amounts: Guggenheim S&P Midcap 400^® Pure Value ETF Fund - $572,640. At this stage of the proceedings, Rydex ETF Trust is not able to make a reliable prediction as to the outcome of this lawsuit or the effect, if any, on the fund’s net asset value.

Tribune Company

Rydex ETF Trust has been named as a defendant and a putative member of the proposed defendant class of shareholders in the case entitled Kirschner v. FitzSimons, No. 12-2652 (S.D.N.Y.) (formerly Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Tribune Co. v. FitzSimons, Adv. Pro. No. 10-54010 (Bankr. D. Del.)) (the “FitzSimons action”), as a result of ownership of shares by certain series of the Rydex ETF Trust in the Tribune Company (“Tribune”) in 2007, when Tribune effected a leveraged buyout transaction (“LBO”) by which Tribune converted to a privately-held company. In his complaint, the plaintiff has alleged that, in connection with the LBO, insiders and shareholders were overpaid for their Tribune stock using financing that the insiders knew would, and ultimately did, leave the Tribune Company insolvent. The plaintiff has asserted claims against certain insiders, major shareholders, professional advisers, and others involved in the LBO. The plaintiff is also attempting to obtain from former Tribune shareholders, including Rydex ETF Trust, the proceeds they received in connection with the LBO.

In June 2011, a group of Tribune creditors filed multiple actions against former Tribune shareholders involving state law constructive fraudulent conveyance claims arising out of the 2007 LBO (the “SLCFC actions”). Rydex ETF Trust has been named as a defendant in one of the SLCFC actions: Deutsche Bank Trust Co. Americas v. McGurn, No. 11-1510 (S.D.N.Y.). In those actions, the creditors seek to recover from Tribune’s former shareholders the proceeds received in connection with the 2007 LBO.

The FitzSimons action and the SLCFC actions have been consolidated with the majority of the other Tribune LBO-related lawsuits in a multidistrict litigation proceeding captioned In re Tribune Company Fraudulent Conveyance Litig., No. 11-md-2696 (S.D.N.Y.) (the “MDL Proceeding”).

On September 23, 2013, the District Court granted the defendants’ omnibus motion to dismiss the SLCFC actions, on the basis that the creditors lacked standing. On September 30, 2013, the creditors filed a notice of appeal of the September 23 order. On October 28, 2013, the defendants filed a joint notice of cross-appeal of that same order.

On May 23, 2014, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the FitzSimons action, including a global motion to dismiss Count I, which is the claim brought against former Tribune shareholders for intentional fraudulent conveyance under U.S. federal law. The Court has not yet issued a decision on any of these motions.

On March 29, 2016, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued its opinion on the appeal of the SLCFC actions. The appeals court affirmed the district court’s dismissal of those lawsuits, but on different grounds than the district court. The appeals court held that while the plaintiffs have standing under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, their claims were preempted by Section 546(e) of the Bankruptcy Code—the statutory safe harbor for settlement payments.

None of these lawsuits alleges any wrongdoing on the part of Rydex ETF Trust. The following series of Rydex ETF Trust held shares of Tribune and tendered these shares as part of Tribune’s LBO: Guggenheim S&P 500^® Pure Value ETF (the “Fund”). The value of the proceeds received by the foregoing Fund was $197,050. At this stage of the proceedings, Rydex ETF Trust is not able to make a reliable prediction as to the outcome of these lawsuits or the effect, if any, on the Fund’s net asset value.

9. Fund Changes

At a meeting held on October 14, 2015, GI recommended and the Board approved changing the Underlying Index for the Guggenheim Russell Top 50^® Mega Cap ETF from the Russell Top 50^® Mega Cap Index to the S&P 500^® Top 50 Index. In connection with the change in the Fund’s Underlying Index, the Board also approved changing the Fund’s name to Guggenheim S&P 500^® Top 50 ETF. The changes in index and Fund name became effective on January 26, 2016.

Our Commitment to You

When you become a Guggenheim Investments investor, you entrust us with not only your hard-earned money but also with personal and financial information about you. We recognize that your relationship with us is based on trust and that you expect us to act responsibly and in your best interests. Because we have access to this private information about you, we hold ourselves to the highest standards in its safekeeping and use. This means, most importantly, that we do not sell client information to anyone—whether it is your personal information or if you are a current or former Guggenheim Investments client.

The Information We Collect About You

In the course of doing business with shareholders and investors, we collect nonpublic personal information about you. You typically provide personal information when you complete a Guggenheim Investments account application or when you request a transaction that involves Rydex and Guggenheim Investments funds or one of the Guggenheim Investments affiliated companies. “Nonpublic personal information” is personally identifiable private information about you. For example, it includes information regarding your name and address, Social Security or taxpayer identification number, assets, income, account balance, bank account information and investment activity (e.g., purchase and redemption history).

How We Handle Your Personal Information

As emphasized above, we do not sell information about current or former clients or their accounts to third parties. Nor do we share such information, except when necessary to complete transactions at your request or to make you aware of related investment products and services that we offer. Additional details about how we handle your personal information are provided below. To complete certain transactions or account changes that you direct, it may be necessary to provide identifying information to companies, individuals or groups that are not affiliated with Guggenheim Investments. For example, if you ask to transfer assets from another financial institution to Guggenheim Investments, we will need to provide certain information about you to that company to complete the transaction. To alert you to other Guggenheim Investments investment products and services, we may share your information within the Guggenheim Investments family of affiliated companies. This would include, for example, sharing your information within Guggenheim Investments so we can make you aware of new Rydex and Guggenheim Investments funds or the services offered through another Guggenheim Investments affiliated company. In certain instances, we may contract with nonaffiliated companies to perform services for us. Where necessary, we will disclose information we have about you to these third parties. In all such cases, we provide the third party with only the information necessary to carry out its assigned responsibilities and only for that purpose. And we require these third parties to treat your private information with the same high degree of confidentiality that we do. In certain instances, we may share information with other financial institutions regarding individuals and entities in response to the U.S.A. Patriot Act. Finally, we will release information about you if you direct us to do so, if we are compelled by law to do so or in other circumstances permitted by law.

Opt Out Provisions

We do not sell your personal information to anyone. The law allows you to “opt out” of only certain kinds of information sharing with third parties. The firm does not share personal information about you with any third parties that triggers this opt-out right. This means YOU ARE ALREADY OPTED OUT.

Read a prospectus and summary prospectus (if available) carefully before investing.

ETFs may not be suitable for all investors. ● Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that when shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less than original cost. Most investors will also incur customary brokerage commissions when buying or selling shares of an ETF. ● Investments in securities and derivatives, in general, are subject to market risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. ● ETF shares may trade below their net asset value per share (“NAV”). The NAV of shares will fluctuate with changes in the market value of an ETF’s holdings. In addition, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for shares will develop or be maintained. ● Tracking error risk refers to the risk that the Adviser may not be able to cause the ETF’s performance to match or correlate to that of the ETF’s underlying index, either on a daily or aggregate basis. Tracking error risk may cause the ETF’s performance to be less than you expect.

ECONOMIC AND MARKET OVERVIEW (Unaudited) April 30, 2016

After a very weak start to the year, strong performance in late February through April brought investment markets modestly higher for the full period. Investors returned to higher risk areas of the market. High yield bonds had their best three month returns in more than two years in the first quarter.

Oil prices stabilized and despite disappointment about a lack of near-term coordinated supply cuts, oil remained around $40/barrel on average. We believe we have seen the bottom in oil prices.

Currency issues and growing competitive pressures in China also weighed heavily on the collective investor consciousness.

The economic story in the U.S. continues to be a mix of good and bad. Growth in the U.S. continued at a slow pace. For the first time in two years, first quarter gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth was positive, but disappointed higher market expectations at just 0.5 percent, the weakest pace in two years. Wage growth increased in April after recent disappointing data, and the labor market continued to underwhelm, as the economy inched closer to “full employment.” While a stronger dollar weighed on the U.S. economy earlier in the period, the dollar weakened in the early part of 2016. Also, after several months of disappointing data, retail spending finally started to pick up toward the end of the period. Underlining this soft growth, inflation remained below the Fed’s two percent target.

Outside the U.S., despite the Bank of Japan and the European Central Bank (“ECB”) moving to negative policy rates, deflationary headwinds grew and the euro and yen strengthened -- the exact opposite of what central bankers hoped. The Bank of Japan and the ECB are already executing massive quantitative easing programs, but as their balance sheets expand, assets available to purchase shrink. As options for further quantitative easing diminish, negative rates may become an important component of monetary policy orthodoxy.

More monetary liquidity in these countries eventually spills into our own, which accounts for what we are seeing now. Risk assets are rising in value along with falling Treasury yields. The high correlation between risk-free and risk assets is part of the rising tide of liquidity, which is continuing to push risk assets and safe-haven assets higher.

Guggenheim expects further declines in the unemployment rate as job gains outstrip growth in the labor force. Meanwhile, core and headline inflation should move closer to the Fed’s target by year-end, reflecting Guggenheim’s forecasts for a tighter labor market and a modest rise in oil prices. This should curtail the speed at which the Fed anticipates increasing rates in 2016, which Guggenheim would interpret as a sign that the expansion remains intact. A solid macroeconomic backdrop and a rebalancing oil market should support the credit picture in the second half of 2016, but caution is warranted over the summer as recent asset price rallies may fade in the face of global macro risks.

For the six months ended April 30, 2016, the Standard & Poor’s 500^® (“S&P 500”) Index* returned 0.43%. The Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) Europe-Australasia-Far East (“EAFE”) Index* returned -3.07%. The return of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index* was -0.14%.

In the bond market, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index* posted a 2.82% return for the period, while the Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Index* returned 2.37%. The return of the Bank of America (“BofA”) Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index* was 0.14% for the six-month period.

The opinions and forecasts expressed may not actually come to pass. This information is subject to change at any time, based on market and other conditions, and should not be construed as a recommendation of any specific security or strategy.

*Index Definitions:

FEES AND EXPENSES (Unaudited)

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Rydex ETF Trust, you incur transaction costs such as creation and redemption fees or brokerage charges, and ongoing costs including advisory fees, trustee fees and, if applicable, distribution fees. All other Trust expenses are paid by the advisor. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example in the table is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on October 31, 2015 and held for the six months ended April 30, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not a Fund’s actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as creation and redemption fees, or brokerage charges. Therefore, the second table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

	Expense Ratio1	Fund Return	Beginning Account Value October 31, 2015	Ending Account Value April 30, 2016	Expenses Paid During Period2
Table 1. Based on actual Fund return3
Guggenheim S&P 500® Equal Weight ETF	0.40%	1.93%	$ 1,000.00	$ 1,019.30	$ 2.01
Table 2. Based on hypothetical 5% return (before expenses)
Guggenheim S&P 500® Equal Weight ETF	0.40%	5.00%	1,000.00	1,022.87	2.01

1	Annualized.
2	Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio, net of any applicable fee waivers, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).
3	Actual cumulative return at net asset value for the period October 31, 2015 to April 30, 2016.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Rydex ETF Trust (the “Trust”) is registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as an open-ended investment company of the series type, and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of no par value shares. Each portfolio represents a separate series of beneficial interest in the Trust (each a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”), each a non-diversified investment company. The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on November 22, 2002. At April 30, 2016, the Trust consisted of twenty-one funds.

The financial statements herein relate to the following Fund, whose investment objective is to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the daily performance of an index representing publicly traded equity securities (the “Underlying Index”) as follows:

Fund	Underlying Index
Guggenheim S&P 500® Equal Weight ETF	S&P 500® Equal Weight Index

The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing in common stocks that comprise the Underlying Index. The Fund uses a “replication” strategy to track the Underlying Index. Replication refers to investing in substantially all of the securities in the Underlying Index in approximately the same proportions as in the Underlying Index.

The Fund operates as an index fund and is not actively managed. Adverse performance of a security in the Fund's portfolio will ordinarily not result in the elimination of the security from the Fund's portfolio.

The Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis, at net asset value per share (“NAV”), only in aggregation of 50,000 shares (a “Creation Unit”). Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in the Underlying Index.

The Fund invests in various investments which are exposed to risk, such as market risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect amounts reported in the financial statements.

Guggenheim Investments (“GI”) provides advisory services and Rydex Fund Services, LLC (“RFS”) provides administrative services to the Trust. Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC (“GFD”) acts as principal underwriter for the Trust. GI, RFS and GFD are affiliated entities.

Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund operates as an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies.

The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and are consistently followed by the Trust. This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. All time references are based on Eastern Time.

A. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the Fund's investments (the “Valuation Procedures”). Pursuant to the Valuation Procedures, the Board has delegated to a valuation committee, consisting of representatives from Guggenheim’s investment management, fund administration, legal and compliance departments (the “Valuation Committee”), the day-to-day responsibility for implementing the Valuation Procedures, including, under most circumstances, the responsibility for determining the fair value of the Fund’s securities or other assets.

Valuations of the Fund's securities are supplied primarily by pricing services appointed pursuant to the processes set forth in the Valuation Procedures. The Valuation Committee convenes monthly, or more frequently as needed and will review the valuation of all assets which have been fair valued for reasonableness. The Fund's officers, through the Valuation Committee and consistent with the monitoring and review responsibilities set forth in the Valuation Procedures, regularly review procedures used by, and valuations provided by, the pricing services.

GUGGENHEIM ETFs SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT | 17

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

If the pricing service cannot or does not provide a valuation for a particular investment or such valuation is deemed unreliable, such investment is fair valued by the Valuation Committee.

Equity securities listed on an exchange (New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) or American Stock Exchange) are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the close of business on the NYSE, usually 4:00 p.m. on the valuation date. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ market system are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price on the valuation date, which may not necessarily represent the last sale price. If there has been no sale on such exchange or NASDAQ on a given day, the security is valued at the closing bid price on that day.

The Fund invests in money market mutual funds, which are valued at their NAV.

Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued as determined in good faith by GI under the direction of the Board of Trustees using methods established or ratified by the Board of Trustees. Valuations in accordance with these methods are intended to reflect each security’s (or asset’s) “fair value.” Each such determination is based on a consideration of all relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context 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).

B. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded using the identified cost basis. Proceeds from lawsuits related to investment holdings are recorded as realized gains in the Fund. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of applicable taxes withheld by foreign countries. Taxable non-cash dividends are recorded as dividend income. Interest income, including amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, is accrued on a daily basis. Dividend income from REITs is recorded based on the income included in the distributions received from the REIT investments using published REIT classifications, including some management estimates when actual amounts are not available. Distributions received in excess of this estimated amount are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains. The actual amounts of income, return of capital, and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after its fiscal year-end, and may differ from the estimated amounts.

C. Distributions of net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP.

D. The Fund may leave cash overnight in its cash account with the custodian. Periodically, the Fund may have cash due to the custodian bank as an overdraft balance. A fee is incurred on this overdraft, calculated by multiplying the overdraft by a rate based on the federal funds rate, which was 0.30% at April 30, 2016.

E. Under the Fund's organizational documents, its Trustees and Officers are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, throughout the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

2. Capital

There is a minimum transaction fee per transaction to those persons purchasing or redeeming Creation Units. An additional charge of up to three times the standard transaction fee may be imposed for purchases and redemptions effected outside the National Securities Clearing Corporation usual clearing process or for cash. Such transactions are generally permitted on an in-kind basis, with a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the NAV of the Fund on the transaction date. Transaction fees are not charged to or paid by the Fund. The minimum transaction fees are:

Fund	Minimum Transaction Fee
Guggenheim S&P 500® Equal Weight ETF	$2,000

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

GI determines the composition of the portfolio of securities that must be delivered in exchange for the issuance of Creation Units and periodically adjusts the composition of the portfolio of the Fund to conform to changes in the composition of the relevant index. For these services, GI receives a management fee at the annual rate shown below as a percentage of the average daily net assets of the Fund.

Fund	Advisory Fee
Guggenheim S&P 500® Equal Weight ETF	0.40%

GI pays all expenses of the Fund, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, fund accounting, legal, audit and other services, except: interest, taxes, distribution fees or expenses and extraordinary expenses.

Under a Fund Administration Agreement with the Trust, RFS provides various administrative and financial reporting services for the Fund. GI compensates RFS directly for this service.

Under a Fund Accounting Agreement with the Trust, BNYMellon maintains the books and records of the Fund. Under a Custodian Agreement with the Trust, BNYMellon maintains cash, securities and other assets of the Fund in a separate account for the Fund, keeps all necessary accounts and records, and provides other services. BNYMellon is required, upon the order of the Trust, to deliver securities held by the custodian and to make payments for securities purchased by the Trust for the Fund. Pursuant to a Transfer Agency and Service Agreement with the Trust, BNYMellon acts as a transfer agent for the Trust’s authorized and issued shares of beneficial interest, and as dividend disbursing agent of the Trust. GI compensates BNYMellon directly for the foregoing services.

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) that allows the Fund to pay distribution fees to GFD and other firms that provide distribution services (“Service Providers”). If a Service Provider provides distribution services, the Fund will pay distribution fees to GFD at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of average daily net assets, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. GFD will, in turn, pay the Service Provider out of its fees. No such fee is currently charged to the Fund.

Certain trustees and officers of the Trust are also officers of GI, RFS and GFD.

4. Fair Value Measurement

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that the Funds would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy based on the types of inputs used to value assets and liabilities and requires corresponding disclosure. The hierarchy and the corresponding inputs are summarized below:

Level 1 —  quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2 —  other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3 —  significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

The types of inputs available depend on a variety of factors, such as the type of security and the characteristics of the markets in which it trades, if any. Fair valuation determinations that rely on fewer or no observable inputs require greater judgment. Accordingly, fair value determinations for Level 3 securities require the greatest amount of judgment.

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The suitability of the techniques and sources employed to determine fair valuation are regularly monitored and subject to change.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

5. Portfolio Securities Loaned

The Fund may lend portfolio securities to certain creditworthy borrowers, including the Fund’s securities lending agent. The loans are collateralized at all times by cash and/or high grade debt obligations in an amount at least equal to 102% of the market value of domestic securities loaned and 105% of foreign securities loaned as determined at the close of business on the preceding business day. The cash collateral received is held in a separately managed account established for the Fund and maintained by the lending agent exclusively for the investment of securities lending cash collateral on behalf of the Fund. The separately managed accounts invest in short-term investments valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The Fund receives compensation for lending securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash, cash equivalents or U.S. government securities held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower plus reasonable administrative and custody fees paid to the lending agent. Such compensation is accrued daily and payable to the Fund monthly. The dividend and interest income earned on the securities loaned is accounted for in the same manner as other dividend and interest income. The borrower pays to the Fund an amount equal to any dividends or interest received on loaned securities. These payments from the borrower are not eligible for reduced tax rates as “qualified dividend income” under the Jobs and Growth Tax Reconciliation Act of 2003. The Fund retains all or a portion of the interest received on investment of cash collateral or receives a fee from the borrower. Lending portfolio securities could result in a loss or delay in recovering the Fund’s securities if the borrower defaults. The securities lending income earned by the Fund is disclosed on the Statement of Operations.

At April 30, 2016, the Fund participated in securities lending as follows:

Fund	Value of Securities Loaned		Cash Collateral		Non-Cash Collateral		Total Collateral
Guggenheim S&P 500® Equal Weight ETF	$	256,997,856	$	259,333,179	$	4,206,017	$	263,539,196

In the event of counterparty default, the Fund has the right to collect the collateral to offset losses incurred. There is potential loss to the Fund in the event the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral securities, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights. GI, acting under the supervision of the Board, reviews the value of the collateral and the creditworthiness of those banks and dealers to evaluate potential risks.

6. Federal Income Tax Information

The Fund intends to comply with the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and will distribute substantially all taxable net investment income and capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or substantially all, federal income, excise and state income taxes. Therefore, no provision for federal or state income tax is required.

Tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns are evaluated to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken, or to be taken, on Federal income tax returns for all open tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund’s federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years after they are filed.

At April 30, 2016, the cost of securities for Federal income tax purposes, the aggregate gross unrealized gain for all securities for which there was an excess of value over tax cost and the aggregate gross unrealized loss for all securities for which there was an excess of tax cost over value were as follows:

Fund	Tax Cost		Tax Unrealized Gain		Tax Unrealized Loss			Net Unrealized Gain
Guggenheim S&P 500® Equal Weight ETF	$	9,015,310,440	$	1,252,853,833	$	(670,747,172	)	$	582,106,661

7. Investment Transactions

For the period ended April 30, 2016, the Fund had investments transactions in-kind associated with subscriptions and redemptions as follows:

Fund	Subscriptions		Redemptions
Guggenheim S&P 500® Equal Weight ETF	$	939,534,242	$	1,434,691,438

For the period ended April 30, 2016, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investment securities, excluding government securities, short-term investments and in-kind transactions, were as follows:

Fund	Purchases		Sales
Guggenheim S&P 500® Equal Weight ETF	$	1,197,077,028	$	1,144,755,853

The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain affiliated funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by a Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under these procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price to save costs, where permissible. For the period April 30, 2016, the Fund engaged in purchases and sales of securities, pursuant to Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act, as follows:

Fund	Purchases		Sales		Realized Loss
Guggenheim S&P 500® Equal Weight ETF	$	170,809,633	$	97,904,618	$	(8,146,738	)

8. Legal Proceedings

Tribune Company

Rydex ETF Trust has been named as a defendant and a putative member of the proposed defendant class of shareholders in the case entitled Kirschner v. FitzSimons, No. 12-2652 (S.D.N.Y.) (formerly Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Tribune Co. v. FitzSimons, Adv. Pro. No. 10-54010 (Bankr. D. Del.)) (the “FitzSimons action”), as a result of ownership of shares by certain series of the Rydex ETF Trust in the Tribune Company (“Tribune”) in 2007, when Tribune effected a leveraged buyout transaction (“LBO”) by which Tribune converted to a privately-held company. In his complaint, the plaintiff has alleged that, in connection with the LBO, insiders and shareholders were overpaid for their Tribune stock using financing that the insiders knew would, and ultimately did, leave the Tribune Company insolvent. The plaintiff has asserted claims against certain insiders, major shareholders, professional advisers, and others involved in the LBO. The plaintiff is also attempting to obtain from former Tribune shareholders, including Rydex ETF Trust, the proceeds they received in connection with the LBO.

In June 2011, a group of Tribune creditors filed multiple actions against former Tribune shareholders involving state law constructive fraudulent conveyance claims arising out of the 2007 LBO (the “SLCFC actions”). Rydex ETF Trust has been named as a defendant in one of the SLCFC actions: Deutsche Bank Trust Co. Americas v. McGurn, No. 11-1510 (S.D.N.Y.). In those actions, the creditors seek to recover from Tribune’s former shareholders the proceeds received in connection with the 2007 LBO.

The FitzSimons action and the SLCFC actions have been consolidated with the majority of the other Tribune LBO-related lawsuits in a multidistrict litigation proceeding captioned In re Tribune Company Fraudulent Conveyance Litig., No. 11-md-2696 (S.D.N.Y.) (the “MDL Proceeding”).

On September 23, 2013, the District Court granted the defendants’ omnibus motion to dismiss the SLCFC actions, on the basis that the creditors lacked standing. On September 30, 2013, the creditors filed a notice of appeal of the September 23 order. On October 28, 2013, the defendants filed a joint notice of cross-appeal of that same order.

GUGGENHEIM ETFs SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT | 21

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(concluded)

On May 23, 2014, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the FitzSimons action, including a global motion to dismiss Count I, which is the claim brought against former Tribune shareholders for intentional fraudulent conveyance under U.S. federal law. The Court has not yet issued a decision on any of these motions.

On March 29, 2016, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued its opinion on the appeal of the SLCFC actions. The appeals court affirmed the district court’s dismissal of those lawsuits, but on different grounds than the district court. The appeals court held that while the plaintiffs have standing under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, their claims were preempted by Section 546(e) of the Bankruptcy Code—the statutory safe harbor for settlement payments.

None of these lawsuits alleges any wrongdoing on the part of Rydex ETF Trust. The following series of Rydex ETF Trust held shares of Tribune and tendered these shares as part of Tribune’s LBO: Guggenheim S&P 500^® Equal Weight ETF (the “Fund”). The value of the proceeds received by the foregoing Fund was $4,766,035. At this stage of the proceedings, Rydex ETF Trust is not able to make a reliable prediction as to the outcome of these lawsuits or the effect, if any, on the Fund’s net asset value.

9. Fund Merger

At a meeting held on October 14, 2015, GI recommended and the Board approved the following changes to the following Funds:

An Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) was unanimously approved by the Board providing for the reorganization of the Guggenheim Russell 1000^® Equal Weight ETF (the “Acquired Fund”) with and into the Guggenheim S&P 500^® Equal Weight ETF (the “Surviving Fund”), each a separate series of the Trust. The Agreement provides for: (a) the transfer of the assets and stated liabilities of the Acquired Fund in exchange for shares of the Surviving Fund and cash in lieu of fractional shares of the Surviving Fund, and (b) the pro rata distribution of shares of the Surviving Fund and cash in lieu of fractional shares of the Surviving Fund by the Acquired Fund to its shareholders, in complete liquidation of the Acquired Fund (the “Reorganization”).

The Reorganization was a tax-free transaction. GI, the investment adviser to both the Acquired Fund and the Surviving Fund, agreed to bear the costs (except for brokerage expenses incurred by the Acquired Fund prior to the Reorganization) directly related to the Reorganization.

The Reorganization occurred at close of business January 26, 2016, and was effective at market open on January 27, 2016.

Rydex Funds, Guggenheim Funds, Rydex Investments, Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC, Security Investors, LLC, Security Distributors, Inc., Guggenheim Partners Investment Managers, LLC, and Rydex Advisory Services (Collectively “Guggenheim Investments”).

Our Commitment to You

When you become a Guggenheim Investments investor, you entrust us with not only your hard-earned money but also with personal and financial information about you. We recognize that your relationship with us is based on trust and that you expect us to act responsibly and in your best interests. Because we have access to this private information about you, we hold ourselves to the highest standards in its safekeeping and use. This means, most importantly, that we do not sell client information to anyone—whether it is your personal information or if you are a current or former Guggenheim Investments client.

The Information We Collect About You

In the course of doing business with shareholders and investors, we collect nonpublic personal information about you. You typically provide personal information when you complete a Guggenheim Investments account application or when you request a transaction that involves Rydex and Guggenheim Investments funds or one of the Guggenheim Investments affiliated companies. “Nonpublic personal information” is personally identifiable private information about you. For example, it includes information regarding your name and address, Social Security or taxpayer identification number, assets, income, account balance, bank account information and investment activity (e.g., purchase and redemption history).

How We Handle Your Personal Information

As emphasized above, we do not sell information about current or former clients or their accounts to third parties. Nor do we share such information, except when necessary to complete transactions at your request or to make you aware of related investment products and services that we offer. Additional details about how we handle your personal information are provided below. To complete certain transactions or account changes that you direct, it may be necessary to provide identifying information to companies, individuals or groups that are not affiliated with Guggenheim Investments. For example, if you ask to transfer assets from another financial institution to Guggenheim Investments, we will need to provide certain information about you to that company to complete the transaction. To alert you to other Guggenheim Investments investment products and services, we may share your information within the Guggenheim Investments family of affiliated companies. This would include, for example, sharing your information within Guggenheim Investments so we can make you aware of new Rydex and Guggenheim Investments funds or the services offered through another Guggenheim Investments affiliated company. In certain instances, we may contract with nonaffiliated companies to perform services for us. Where necessary, we will disclose information we have about you to these third parties. In all such cases, we provide the third party with only the information necessary to carry out its assigned responsibilities and only for that purpose. And we require these third parties to treat your private information with the same high degree of confidentiality that we do. In certain instances, we may share information with other financial institutions regarding individuals and entities in response to the U.S.A. Patriot Act. Finally, we will release information about you if you direct us to do so, if we are compelled by law to do so or in other circumstances permitted by law.

Opt Out Provisions

We do not sell your personal information to anyone. The law allows you to “opt out” of only certain kinds of information sharing with third parties. The firm does not share personal information about you with any third parties that triggers this opt-out right. This means YOU ARE ALREADY OPTED OUT.
