Information About Your Series Expenses
December 31, 2009 (unaudited)
Calculating your ongoing Series expenses
As a shareholder of the Series, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads’ on purchase payments; contingent fees, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Series expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Series and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period July 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009.
Actual Expenses
The first table 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 paid 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 table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Series actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Series actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Series and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other mutual funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any. 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 transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Manager’s Commentary
February 15, 2010
Advised by: |
![]() |
To Our Shareholders:
The Rydex|SGI Income Fund - High Yield Series recorded a gain of 70.53%1 for the year ended December 31, 2009, outperforming the 58.21% performance of its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index by more than 1,200 basis points.
The High Yield Series will primarily invest in a diversified portfolio consisting of a broad range of high yield, high-risk debt securities rated below the top four long-term credit rating categories and maintain a dollar-weighted average duration of 3 to 15 years.
The Series’ investment approach uses a bottom-up process in selecting high yield securities. We emphasize rigorous credit analysis and relative value in selecting securities Credit analysis includes assessing factors such as an issuer’s management experience, its debt service coverage or ability to make interest payments on its debt, cash flow, and general economic and market factors. Relative value analysis compares the credit risk and yield of a security to that of other securities. We search for securities that appear to be inexpensive relative to comparable securities and securities that have the potential for an upgrade of their credit rating. A rating upgrade would typically increase the value of the security.
The high yield asset class had a record year, gaining 58% compared to a 26% increase for the S&P 500 Index and -4% for U.S. Treasuries. Still, high yield has the potential to outperform other asset classes again in 2010 if the economy continues to improve. Default rates peaked around 10% in late 2009 and expectations are that rates could decline to around 4% in 2010, about its long-term historical average. On the other hand, unemployment may remain stubbornly high hampering the consumer and holding back an economic recovery. An additional concern is the large budget deficits in states such as California and Illinois. At best, the imbalances will be a headwind for the markets while the effect of any state or municipal defaults could be significant. New issuance continues to help struggling companies reissue debt, thereby decreasing the default rate and lowering expectations of future defaults. The sudden collapse of market liquidity caused by the Lehman bankruptcy and the subsequent widening of credit spreads was so severe that many investors recognized the value in high yield securities. The response was massive inflows to high yield mutual funds, amounting to $5 billion in the first quarter alone, causing the market to stablize and spreads to begin to moderately tighten. Cash flows into the high-yield market were on a torrid pace throughout the year with September marking the tenth consecutive month of inflows of $1 billion.
Market Outlook
While keeping a long-term perspective, we will remain slightly aggressive given the current liquidity and momentum in the market and the economic recovery. We continue to stay fully invested as we’ve pared back on holdings that have produced solid gains. We feel that our security selection process provides the portfolio with higher quality issues with good underlying asset value, which should provide downside protection. We will be looking for whether firms are able to increase revenue rather than simply reduce costs, and whether unemployment figures will begin to show the return of jobs. We will also continue to watch the high-yield mutual fund flows closely to determine whether we should add or reduce our risk exposure. However, we will be prepared to reduce risk in the portfolio if the economy, unemployment, and earnings fail to continue to recover as the market is expecting.
We appreciate your business and thank you for being an investor in the Series.
Sincerely,
David Toussaint, Portfolio Manager

The performance data above represents past performance which is not predictive of future results. For Class A shares these figures reflect deduction of the maximum sales charge of 4.75%. For Class B shares the figures reflect deduction of the maximum contingent deferred sales charge, ranging from 5% in the first year to 0% in the sixth and following years, and 1% for Class C shares. The figures do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions or redemption of fund shares. Such figures would be lower if applicable taxes were deducted. Fee waivers and/or reimbursements reduced expenses of the Series and in the absence of such waivers, the performance quoted would be reduced, as applicable. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Manager’s Commentary February 15, 2010 | ||||
Advised by: |
![]() |
To Our Shareholders:
The U.S. Intermediate Bond Series of the Rydex|SGI Income Fund earned a return of 10.63%1 for the year ended December 31, 2009, outperforming the benchmark Barclays Capital Intermediate U.S. Government/Credit Index return of 5.25%.
The U.S. Intermediate Bond Series will primarily invest in a diversified portfolio of investment grade debt securities and maintain a dollar-weighted average duration of 3 to 10 years. The Series’ investment approach uses a bottom-up process in selecting asset classes and securities. We emphasize rigorous credit analysis and relative value in selecting securities. Credit analysis includes assessing factors such as an issuer’s management experience, cash flow, position in its market, capital structure, and general economic and market factors. Relative value analysis includes earnings growth, profitability trends, the issuer’s financial strength and valuation analysis. Relative valuation also compares the credit risk and yield of a security to that of other securities of the same or another asset class.
Composition of Portfolio Assets
At the end of the year, the Series held 44% in corporate issues, 5% in mortgage-backed securities, 30% in U.S. government securities, and 16% in U.S. government sponsored agency bonds and notes. Other securities, such as asset-backed securities, preferred stock, and cash constituted 5% of the portfolio.
U.S. Intermediate Bond Market Review
Turbulent does not begin to describe 2009 in the fixed income markets. U.S. Treasuries had their worst total return in thirty years after starting the year as the global investor’s safe haven of choice. U.S. investment grade bond issuance was approximately $1 trillion, a remarkable 30% improvement from 2008. Corporate bonds performed extremely well as supply served to strengthen the balance sheets of many financial institutions and also to extend the maturities of many high yield issuers, lessening their near-term principal repayment risk.
The U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve each played a key role in unlocking what were once frozen credit markets in 2009. At the height of the credit freeze, investors were fearful that impending corporate debt maturities would go unpaid for fear of companies not being able to roll over their debt. Through a variety of programs and security purchases, the U.S. Treasury, FDIC, and Federal Reserve enabled corporations to once again issue debt and meet near-term obligations. Because this served to reduce implied default rates, corporations were then able to tender for other debt and amend covenants to their benefit, leaving many issuers with less onerous debt covenants and reduced near-term maturities.
Fixed-income factors we follow point to improving economic growth as the yield curve remains historically steep and monetary policy remains accommodative. The cost of capital is cheap, as interest rates remain very low with no sign of inflation. Therefore, companies are able to expand but it is through merger and acquisition activity rather than organic growth.
Market Outlook
Increased government bond issuance, particularly of longer duration securities, combined with the removal of a buyer (the Federal Reserve) that purchased approximately 20% of total new cash raised by the U.S. Treasury in 2009, causes us to be underweight U.S. Treasuries and agencies in 2010. We expect the trend of corporate out-performance versus U.S. Treasuries to continue as we enter 2010. Therefore, we will continue to overweight corporate bonds and underweight U.S. Treasuries as the improving credit trend plays out over the next 12 months.
The Federal Reserve’s U.S. Treasury purchases have ended and its agency purchases are scheduled to end early in 2010, removing a significant source of demand from both markets. However, government bond supply will remain robust as JP Morgan forecasts nearly a 20% increase in gross issuance of coupon Treasury securities in 2010. The U.S. Treasury has also stated its intention to lengthen the average maturity of its debt. We will continue to monitor the economic and market conditions and will adjust the asset mix and maturity structure in the portfolio accordingly.
Thank you for your investment in the U. S. Intermediate Bond Series.
We recognize there are many investment fund alternatives available today and appreciate the confidence you place in us.
Sincerely,
Daniel Portanova, Portfolio Manager

PERFORMANCE
$10,000 Over 10 Years
This chart assumes a $10,000 investment in Class A shares of U.S. Intermediate Bond Series on December 31, 1999, and reflects deduction of the 4.75% sales load. The chart does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions or redemption of fund shares. The Barclays Capital Intermediate U.S. Government/ Credit Index is an unmanaged index that tracks U. S. dollar denominated U.S. Treasuries, government-related and investment grade U.S. corporate securities that have a remaining maturity of greater than or equal to 1 year and less than 10 years.

The performance data above represents past performance which is not predictive of future results. For Class A shares these figures reflect deduction of the maximum sales charge of 4.75%. For Class B shares the figures reflect deduction of the maximum contingent deferred sales charge, ranging from 5% in the first year to 0% in the sixth and following years, and 1% for Class C shares. The figures do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions or redemption of fund shares. Such figures would be lower if applicable taxes were deducted. Fee waivers and/or reimbursements reduced expenses of the Series and in the absence of such waivers, the performance quoted would be reduced, as applicable. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

1 . Significant Accounting Policies
Rydex|SGI Income Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended, as a diversified open-end management investment company. The shares of Rydex|SGI Income Fund are currently issued in multiple series, with each series, in effect, representing a separate fund. The Rydex|SGI Income Fund accounts for the assets of each Series separately Additionally, within each series are multiple classes of shares. Class “A” shares are generally sold with a sales charge at the time of purchase. Class “A” shares are not subject to a sales charge when they are redeemed, except for purchases of $1 million or more sold without a front-end sales charge are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge if redeemed within one year of purchase. Class “B” shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge for six years and automatically convert to Class “A” shares after eight years Redemptions of Class “B” shares within five years of acquisition incur a contingent deferred sales charge Class “C” shares are offered without a front-end sales charge but incur additional class-specific expenses Redemptions of Class “C” shares within one year of acquisition incur a contingent deferred sales charge. “Institutional Class shares are offered primarily for direct investment by institutions such as pension and profit sharing plans, endowments, foundations and corporations Institutional class shares have a minimum initial investment of $2 million and a minimum account balance of $1 million Institutional class shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or a contingent deferred sales charge The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (ASC) as the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The ASC supersedes existing non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The ASC did not change GAAP but rather organized it into a hierarchy where all guidance within the ASC carries an equal level of authority The ASC became effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The ASC had no material effect on the Fund’s financial statements.

(“NASDAQ”) will be valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price, which may not necessarily represent the last sale price If there has been no sale on such exchange or NASDAQ on such day, the security is valued at the closing bid price on such day Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued by a pricing service considering securities with similar yields, quality, type of issue, coupon, duration and rating. If there is no bid price or if the bid price is deemed to be unsatisfactory by the Board of Directors or by the Fund’s investment manager, then the securities are valued in good faith by such method as the Board of Directors determines will reflect the fair value. If events occur that will affect the value of a Fund’s portfolio securities before the NAV has been calculated (a “significant event”), the security will generally be priced using a fair value procedure If the Valuation Committee determines a significant event has occurred, it will evaluate the impact of that event on an affected security or securities, to determine whether a fair value adjustment would materially affect the Fund’s NAV per share Some of the factors which may be considered by the Board of Directors in determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of any restrictions on disposition; trading in similar securities of the same issuer or comparable companies; information from broker-dealers; and an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold The Fund generally will value short-term debt securities at prices based on market quotations for such securities or securities of similar type, yield, quality and duration, except those securities purchased with 60 days or less to maturity are valued on the basis of amortized cost which approximates market value.
The senior floating rate interests (loans) in which the High Yield Series invest are not listed on any securities exchange or board of trade. Accordingly, determinations of the value of loans may be based on infrequent and dated trades Typically loans are valued using information provided by an independent third party pricing service If the pricing service cannot or does not provide a valuation for a particular loan or such valuation is deemed unreliable, such loan is fair valued. In determining fair value, consideration is given to several factors, which may include, among others, one or more of the following: the fundamental business data relating to the issuer or borrower; an evaluation of the forces which influence the market in which these loans are purchased and sold; type of holding; financial statements of the borrower; cost at date of purchase; size of holding; credit worthiness and cash flow of issuer; information as to any transactions in, or offers for, the holding; price and extent of public trading in similar securities (or equity securities) of the issuer/borrower, or comparable companies; coupon payments; quality, value and saleability of collateral securing the loan; business prospects of the issuer/borrower, including any ability to obtain money or resources from a parent or affiliate; the portfolio manager’s and/or the market’s assessment of the borrower’s management; prospects for the borrower’s industry, and multiples (of earnings and/or cash flow) being paid for similar businesses in that industry; borrower’s competitive position within the industry; borrower’s ability to access additional liquidity through public and/or private markets; and other relevant factors.
B. Repurchase Agreements - In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Fund’s policy that their custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the fair value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all times. If the seller defaults, and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Funds may be delayed or limited.

C. Senior Floating Rate Interests - Senior loans in which the Series invests generally pay interest based on rates which are periodically adjusted by reference to a base short-term, floating rate plus a premium. These base lending rates are generally (I) the lending rate offered by one or more major European banks, such as the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR), (ii) the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks, or (iii) the bank’s certificate of deposit rate. Senior floating rate interests often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrower to repay at its election The rate at which the borrower repays cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown The interest rate indicated is the rate in effect at December 31, 2009.
D. Options Purchased and Written - The Fund may purchase put and call options and write such options on a covered basis on securities that are traded on recognized securities exchanges and over-the-counter markets. Call and put options on securities give the holder the right to purchase or sell, respectively (and the writer the obligation to sell or purchase) a security at a specified price, until a certain date Options may be used to hedge the Fund’s portfolio to increase the returns or to maintain exposure to the equity markets The primary risks associated with the use of options are an imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by these Series and the price of the option, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract.
The premium received for a written option is recorded as an asset, with an equal liability which is marked to market based on the option’s quoted daily settlement price. Fluctuations in the value of such instruments are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until terminated, at which time realized gains and losses are recognized There were no options, written or purchased, outstanding at December 31, 2009.
E. Security Transactions and Investment Income - Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date) Trade date for senior and subordinated loans purchased in the “primary market” is considered the date on which the loan allocations are determined Trade date for senior and subordinated loans purchased in the “secondary market” is the date on which the transaction is entered into Realized gains and losses are reported on an identified cost basis Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis, including the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on debt securities Interest income also includes pay-down gains and losses on senior and subordinated loans Amendment fees are earned as compensation for evaluating and accepting changes to the original loan agreement and are recognized when received Each class of shares participates in investment income, fund-level expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses based on the total net asset value of its shares in proportion to the total net assets of the Fund.
F. Securities Purchased on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis - The Fund may purchase and sell interests in securities on a when-issued and delayed delivery basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. No income accrues to the Fund on such interests or securities in connection with such transactions prior to the date the Series actually takes delivery of such interests or securities These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and are subject to the risk that the value at delivery may be more or less than the trade date purchase price Although the Series will generally purchase these securities with the intention of acquiring such securities, they may sell such securities before the settlement date.
G. Expenses - Expenses that are directly related to one of the Series are charged directly to that Series Other operating expenses are allocated to the Series on the basis of relative net assets Class specific expenses, such as 12b-1 fees, are borne by that class Income, other expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses of a Series are allocated to each respective class in proportion to the relative net assets of each class.
H. Distributions to Shareholders - Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes.
I. Taxes - The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and distribute all of their taxable net income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve them from all, or substantially all, federal income, excise and state income taxes Therefore, no provision for federal or state income tax is required.
The evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Series’ tax returns is required to determine whether the tax positions are “more likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority For all open tax years (December 31, 2006 - December 31, 2009) and all major taxing jurisdictions through the end of the reporting period, the Series’ management has completed a review and evaluation in connection with the adoption of ASC 740 and has determined that no tax liability is required and no additional disclosures are needed as of December 31, 2009.
J. Earnings Credits - Under the fee arrangement with the custodian, the Funds may earn credits based on overnight custody cash balances These credits are utilized to reduce related custodial expenses The custodian fees disclosed in the Statement of Operations are before the reduction in expense from the related earnings credits.
K. Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period Actual results could differ from those estimates.

M. Indemnifications—Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its Officers and Directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund . In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnification to other parties. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred, and may not occur. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.
N. Futures—The Fund may enter into interest rate futures contracts (“futures” or “futures contracts”) as an economic hedge against changes in prevailing levels of interest rates. A Fund’s hedging may include sales of futures as an offset against the effect of expected increases in interest rates, and purchases of futures as an offset against the effect of expected declines in interest rates.
The Fund will not enter into futures contracts for speculation and will only enter into futures contracts, which are traded on national futures exchanges and are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Although techniques other than sales and purchases of futures contracts could be used to reduce Fund exposure to interest rate fluctuations, the Fund may be able to hedge exposure more effectively and at a lower cost through using futures contracts. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of stocks contained in the indexes and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit and maintain as collateral either cash or securities, representing the initial margin, equal to a certain percentage of the contract value. Cash deposits are shown as restricted cash on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities; securities held as collateral are noted in the Schedule of Investments. Subsequent changes in the value of the contract are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. Variation margin is paid or received in cash daily by the Fund. The Fund realizes a gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires. There were no open futures contracts at December 31, 2009.
O. Recent Accounting Pronouncement—In January 21, 2010, the FASB issued an ASU, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements which provides guidance on how investment assets and liabilities are to be valued and disclosed. Specifically, the amendment requires reporting entities to disclose: i) the input and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements, for Level 2 or Level 3 positions, ii) transfers between all levels (including Level 1 and Level 2) will be required to be disclosed on a gross basis (i.e. transfers out must be disclosed separately from transfers in) as well as the reason(s) for the transfer, and iii) purchases, sales, issuances and settlements must be shown on a gross basis in the Level 3 rollforward rather than as one net number. The effective date of the amendment is for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, however, the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity for purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. At this time the Fund is evaluating the implications of the amendment to ASC 820 and the impact to the financial statements.

3. Federal Income Tax Matters
Net investment income and net realized gains (losses) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes because of temporary or permanent book/tax differences. These differences are primarily due to interest income accrued for defaulted securities for tax purposes, differing book and tax amortization methods for premium and market discount and differing character of gain/loss on mortgage backed securities. To the extent these differences are permanent differences, adjustments are made to the appropriate equity accounts in the period that the differences arise.
The following adjustments were made to the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 2009 to reflect permanent differences:
Net Realized Gain (Loss) |

5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Fund adopted FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (ASC 820) effective October 1, 2008. In accordance with ASC 820, fair value is defined as the price that the Fund 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. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 |
- |
quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. The types of assets and liabilities carried at Level 1 fair value generally are government and agency securities, equities listed in active markets, certain futures and certain options. | ||
Level 2 |
- |
other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). The types of assets and liabilities carried at Level 2 fair value generally are municipal bonds, certain mortgage and asset-backed securities, certain corporate debt, commercial paper and repurchase agreements. | ||
Level 3 |
- |
significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The types of assets and liabilities carried at Level 3 fair value generally are certain mortgage and asset-backed securities, certain corporate debt and certain derivatives. |
Observable inputs are those based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund, and unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions based on the best information available.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk association with investing in those securities.

The aggregate net assets of High Yield Series immediately before the acquisition totaled $59,881,201 and following the acquisition, the combined net assets of High Yield Series totaled $94,989,973.

Pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by the stockholders of Capital Preservation Series of Security Income Fund, U.S. Intermediate Bond Series of Rydex|SGI Income Fund acquired all of the net assets of Capital Preservation Series on February 20, 2009 which totaled $86,768,479. A total of 11,586,062 shares of Capital Preservation Series were exchanged for 22,645,387 shares of U.S. Intermediate Bond Series immediately after the closing date. This exchange qualified as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(c) of the Internal Revenue Code. Capital Preservation’s net assets included $26,832,764 of unrealized depreciation and $15,056,998 of accumulated realized loss on sale of investments. The aggregate net assets of U.S. Intermediate Bond Series immediately before the acquisition totaled $51,963,431 and following the acquisition, the combined net assets of U.S. Intermediate Bond Series totaled $138,731,910.
Assuming the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2009, the beginning of the fiscal year for U.S. Intermediate Bond Series, U.S. Intermediate Bond Series’ pro forma results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009, would have been $4,063,538 of net investment income, $12,194,282 of net realized and unrealized loss on investments, and $8,130,744 of net decrease in net assets resulting from operations. Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of Capital Preservation Series that have been included in U.S. Intermediate Bond Series’ statement of operations since February 20, 2009.
8. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated events or transactions that may have occurred since December 31, 2009, that would merit recognition of disclosure in the financial statements. This evaluation was completed through February 25, 2010, the date the financial statements were issued.
Effective January 4, 2010, Rydex|SGI Income Fund and their underlying Series will no longer be accepting subscriptions for Class B shares from either existing shareholders or from new shareholders.
On February 15, 2010, Security Benefit Mutual Holding Company (“SBMHC”), the parent company of Security Benefit Corporation (“SBC”) and the ultimate parent company of Security Investors entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement whereby Guggenheim SBC Holdings LLC (“Guggenheim Holdings”) will, subject to regulatory approval, policyholder approval and approval by the shareholders of the mutual funds sponsored by affiliates of SBMHC, purchase all of the issued and outstanding stock of SBC (the “SBC Purchase Transaction”). The SBC Purchase Transaction would result in a change of control of Security Investors whereby SBC and its subsidiaries would be wholly-owned by Guggenheim Holdings. If the SBC Purchase Transaction does not close, other than as a result of a breach by Guggenheim Holdings or for certain other reasons, then SBC will sell its asset management business to Guggenheim Holdings, which would include Security Investors and would result in a change of control of the Security Investors. The sale of SBC’s asset management business, like the SBC Purchase Transaction, would be subject to regulatory approval and approval by the shareholders of the mutual funds sponsored by affiliates of SBMHC.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Rydex | SGI Income Fund
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Rydex | SGI Income Fund (formerly Security Income Fund, comprised of U.S. Intermediate Bond Series and High Yield Series) (the Fund) as of December 31, 2009, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of investments owned as of December 31, 2009, by correspondence with the custodian and agent banks. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Series constituting the Fund at December 31, 2009, and the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Directors’ Disclosure
(unaudited)
Director Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement
At an in-person meeting of the Fund’s Boards of Directors held on November 9-10, 2009, called for the purpose of, among other things, voting on the renewal of the investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements applicable to the Funds, the Fund’s Board of Directors, including the Independent Directors, unanimously approved the continuation for a one-year period of the investment advisory agreement between the Funds and Security Investors, LLC (“SI”). In reaching this conclusion, the Directors requested and obtained from SI and each investment sub-adviser such information as the Directors deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed renewal of the agreements. Each Funds’ Board of Directors carefully valuated this information, and was advised by legal counsel with respect to its deliberations.
In considering the proposed continuation of the investment advisory agreements, the Independent Directors evaluated a number of considerations, including, among others, (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the advisory services to be provided by SI; (2) the investment performance of the Funds and SI; (3) the costs of services provided by SI and the profits derived by SI from its relationship with the Funds; (4) a comparison of each series’ expense ratios and those of similarly situated funds; (5) benefits (such as soft dollars) to SI and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds (and any corresponding benefits to the Funds); (6) the expense limitation/fee waiver agreements between SI and certain of the Funds; and (7) other factors the Board deemed to be relevant. Each Board of Directors also took into account other considerations that it believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to the Independent Directors by their independent legal counsel and the Directors’ own business judgment, to be relevant. Following its review, each Funds’ Board of Directors determined that the investment advisory agreement will enable Fund or Series shareholders to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, and in the best interests of shareholders. Accordingly, the Directors, including the Independent Directors, unanimously approved the renewal of the investment advisory agreements based upon the following considerations, among others:
• |
The nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided. Each Board of Directors concluded that SI is capable of providing high quality services to the Funds, as indicated by the nature and quality of services provided in the past, SI’s management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the Funds and other mutual funds managed by SI, the professional qualifications and experience of SI and SI’s investment and management oversight processes. The Directors also determined that SI proposed to provide investment and related services that were of the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Funds in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Funds’ operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs. |
• |
The investment performance of the Fund or Series. With respect to the Funds, the Directors concluded on the basis of information compiled by Morningstar that SI and the investment sub-advisers had achieved investment performance that was acceptable, and competitive or superior relative to comparable funds over trailing periods. |
• |
The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. On the basis of each Board’s review of the fees to be charged by SI for investment advisory and other services, and the estimated profitability of SI’s relationship with each Fund or Series, each Board concluded that the level of investment advisory fees and SI’s profitability are appropriate in light of the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between each Fund or Series and SI and its affiliates. On the basis of comparative information compiled by Morningstar, the Directors determined that the advisory fees and estimated overall expense ratio of each Fund or Series are consistent with, and often below, industry medians particularly with respect to mutual funds of comparable size. |
• |
Whether the advisory fees reflect economies of scale. The Directors concluded that the Funds’ investment advisory fees appropriately reflect the current economic environment for SI and the competitive nature of the mutual fund market. |
• |
The extent to which economies of scale will be realized as the Fund grows. While the Funds’ investment advisory fees do not reduce should Fund assets grow meaningfully, the Directors determined that the investment advisory fees payable by the Funds already reflect potential future economies of scale to some extent by virtue of their competitive levels (determined with reference to industry standards as reported by Lipper and SI’s estimated profitability at current or foreseeable asset levels. The Directors also considered that they will have the opportunity to periodically re-examine whether each Fund or Series has achieved economies of scale, and the appropriateness of investment advisory fees payable to SI in the future. |

(unaudited) (continued)
• |
Benefits (such as soft dollars) to SI from its relationship with the Funds (and any corresponding benefits to the Funds). The Directors concluded that other benefits described by SI from their relationships with the Funds, including “soft dollar” benefits in connection with the Funds’ brokerage transactions, are reasonable and fair, and consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders. In addition, the Directors determined that the administration, transfer agency and fund accounting fees paid by the Funds to SI are reasonable, fair and in the best interests of Funds’ shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the ser vices provided, the associated costs, and the necessity of the services for the Funds’ operations. |
• |
Other Considerations: In approving the investment advisory agreements, the Directors determined that SI has made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintains the financial, compliance and operational resources reasonably necessary to manage the Funds in a professional manner that is consistent with the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders. In this regard, the Directors favorably considered the compliance track record of the Funds and SI. The Directors also concluded that SI has made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Funds, which entails a substantial financial and professional commitment, including investment advisory fee waivers and expense limitation arrangements with respect to the Funds to the benefit of Funds’ shareholders. |

Our Commitment to You
When you become a Rydex | SGI 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 Rydex | SGI 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 Rydex | SGI account application or when you request a transaction that involves Rydex and Rydex | SGI funds or one of the Rydex | SGI 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 Rydex | SGI. For example, if you ask to transfer assets from another financial institution to Rydex | SGI, we will need to provide certain information about you to that company to complete the transaction. To alert you to other Rydex | SGI investment products and services, we may share your information within the Rydex | SGI family of affiliated companies. This would include, for example, sharing your information within Rydex | SGI so we can make you aware of new Rydex and Rydex | SGI funds or the services offered through another Rydex | SGI 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.
How We Protect Privacy Online

Our web site uses some of the most secure forms of online communication available, including encryption technology, Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol, firewalls and user names and passwords.
