The Investment Manager has contractually agreed through January 31, 2012 to waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses to the extent necessary to limit the ordinary operating expenses (including distribution (12b-1) fees, but exclusive of brokerage costs, dividends on securities sold short, acquired fund fees and expenses, interest, taxes, litigation, indemnification, and extraordinary expenses) of a Fund to an indicated annual percentage of average daily net assets for each class of shares. The Fund may have “Total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver” greater than the expense cap as a result of any acquired fund fees and expenses or other expenses that are excluded from the calculation. The Investment Manager is entitled to reimbursement by the Fund of fees waived or expenses reimbursed during any of the previous 36 months beginning on the date of the expense limitation agreement. The agreement will expire when it reaches its termination or when the Investment Manager ceases to serve as such (subject to recoupment rights).
 
 
Example. This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
 
The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although the actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
 
1 Year
3 Years
5 Years
10 Years
$102
$808
$1,538
$3,472
 
 
Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 295% of the average value of its portfolio.
 
Principal Investment Strategies — The Fund pursues its objective by investing, under normal market conditions, in at least three countries, one of which may be the United States. The Fund invests primarily in foreign and domestic common stocks or convertible stocks of companies considered to have appreciation possibilities. While the Fund may invest in the United States, there is no limit on its foreign investments. Ordinarily, at least 40% of Fund assets, but not less than 30% of Fund assets, will be invested in securities of non-U.S. issuers. Investments in debt securities may be made when market conditions are uncertain. The Fund may invest in issuers of any size, including small-capitalization issuers. The Fund’s index is the MSCI World Index, which is an unmanaged index that measures

the performance of over 1,400 securities listed on exchanges in the United States, Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the Far East.
 
      The Fund may also invest a portion of its assets in foreign currencies and derivatives, including options and futures contracts, which may be used to hedge the Fund’s portfolio, to increase returns or to maintain exposure to the equity markets. The Fund may also invest in emerging market countries.
 
      The Fund actively trades its investments without regard to the length of time they have been owned by the Fund, which results in higher portfolio turnover.
 
      Security Investors, LLC (the “Investment Manager”) manages Fund assets pursuant to a Global Equity strategy that seeks consistent alpha in all market environments. Using a proprietary database composed of 5,000 companies from around the world, the Investment Manager employs a bottom-up stock selection process designed to generate alpha through stock selection while maintaining a globally diversified portfolio.
 
      To lower the risks of foreign investing, such as currency fluctuations, the Investment Manager generally diversifies the Fund’s investments broadly across countries and industries.
 
Although the Fund primarily invests in securities issued by companies from countries with established economies, there is no limit in the amount that the Fund may invest in securities issued by companies from emerging markets.
 
      Under adverse or unstable market conditions, the Fund could invest some or all of its assets in cash, fixed-income securities, government bonds, money market securities, or repurchase agreements. Although the Fund would do this only in seeking to avoid losses, the Fund may be unable to pursue its investment objective during that time, and it could reduce the benefit from any upswing in the market.
 
Principal Risks — An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate and is subject to investment risks, which means investors could lose money. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are listed below.
 
Active Trading Risk. Active trading, also called “high turnover,” may have a negative impact on performance. Active trading may result in higher brokerage costs or mark-up charges, which are ultimately passed on to shareholders of the Fund. It may also result in short-term capital gains, which have a negative tax effect, and could also result in greater taxable distributions to shareholders of the Fund.
 
Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in emerging markets securities are generally subject to a greater level of those risks associated with investing in foreign securities, as emerging markets are considered less developed and developing countries.
 
Equity Derivatives Risk. Equity derivatives may pose risks in addition to those associated with investing directly in securities or other investments, including illiquidity of the equity derivative, imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, lack of availability and counterparty risk.
 
Equity Securities Risk. Stocks and other equity securities, and securities convertible into stocks, generally fluctuate in value more than bonds. The Fund could lose all of its investment in a company’s stock.
 
Foreign Securities Risk. Foreign securities carry additional risks when compared to U.S. securities, including currency fluctuations, adverse political and economic developments, unreliable or untimely information, less liquidity, limited legal recourse and higher transactional costs.
 
Leverage Risk. The Fund’s use of leverage through derivatives may cause the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged. Leverage can arise through the use of derivatives.
 
Management Risk. The Fund is actively managed. There is no guarantee that the investment strategies will be successful.
 
Market Risk. The market value of the securities held by the Fund may fluctuate resulting from factors affecting the individual company or other factors such as changing economic, political or financial market conditions.
 
Smaller Companies Risk. The securities of smaller companies are subject to greater volatility, especially during periods of economic uncertainty. These risks are likely to be greater for micro-cap companies.
 
Performance Information — The following chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund’s average annual returns for one year and since inception have compared to those of a broad measure of market performance. As with all mutual funds, past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund

will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available on the Fund’s website at www.rydex-sgi.com or by calling 1-800-888-2461.

After-tax returns shown in the table are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of any state or local taxes.

Management of the Fund — Security Investors, LLC (the “Investment Manager”) serves as the investment manager of the Fund. Security Global Investors, LLC serves as the sub-adviser of the Fund. Scott Klimo, David Whittall, Mark Kress, and Yon Perullo are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund, and each holds the title of “Portfolio Manager” with Security Global Investors, LLC; they have co-managed the Fund since August 2007.
 
Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares — You may purchase or redeem Fund shares through your broker/ dealer, other financial intermediary that has an agreement with Rydex Distributors, LLC, the Fund’s distributor, or through the transfer agent (by mail or telephone, if you select the telephone option on your account application). You may purchase, redeem or exchange shares of the Fund on any day the New York Stock Exchange is open for business. The minimum initial investment is $2 million, although the Fund may waive this requirement at its discretion. The Fund has a minimum account balance of $1 million. Due to the relatively high cost of maintaining accounts below the minimum account balance, the Fund reserves the right to redeem shares if an account balance falls below the minimum account balance for any reason. Investors will be given 60 days’ advance notice to reestablish the minimum account balance. If the account balance is not increased, the account may be closed, and the proceeds sent to the investor. Fund shares will be redeemed at NAV on the day the account is closed.
 
Tax Information — Fund distributions are taxable as ordinary income or capital gains (or a combination of both), unless your investment is in an IRA or other tax-advantaged retirement account.

Payments to Broker/Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries — If you purchase Fund shares through a broker/dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker/dealer or other intermediary and your sales person to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your sales person or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
