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:

The above Examples reflect applicable contractual fee waiver/expense reimbursement arrangements for the duration of the arrangements only.

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 62% of the average value of its portfolio.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

The Fund pursues its objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets (net assets, plus the amount of any borrowing for investment purposes) in a diversified portfolio of equity securities, which include common stocks, rights, options, warrants, convertible debt securities, and American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) that, when purchased, have market capitalizations that are usually within the range of companies in the Russell 2000 Value Index. Although a universal definition of small-capitalization companies does not exist, the Fund generally defines small-capitalization companies as those whose market capitalization is similar to the market capitalization of companies in the Russell 2000 Value Index, which is an unmanaged index measuring the performance of the small cap value segment of the U.S. equity universe and which includes companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values.

Security Investors, LLC, also known as Guggenheim Investments (the “Investment Manager”), typically chooses equity securities that appear undervalued relative to assets, earnings, growth potential or cash flows and may invest in a limited number of industries or industry sectors, including the technology sector.

The Fund may sell a security if it is no longer considered undervalued or when the company begins to show deteriorating fundamentals.

The Fund also may invest a portion of its assets in derivatives, including options and futures contracts. These instruments may be used to hedge the Fund’s portfolio, to maintain exposure to the equity markets or to increase returns.

The Fund may, from time to time, invest a portion of its assets in technology stocks.

The Fund may invest in a variety of investment vehicles, including those that seek to track the composition and performance of a specific index, such as exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) and other mutual funds. The Fund may use these index-based investments as a way of managing its cash position to gain exposure to the equity markets or a particular sector of the equity market, while maintaining liquidity. Certain investment vehicles’ securities and other securities in which the Fund may invest are restricted securities, which may be illiquid.

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.

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.

Derivatives Risk – Derivatives may pose risks in addition to those associated with investing directly in securities or other investments, including possible illiquidity of the derivative, limited ability to enter into or unwind a position, imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, leverage risk, lack of availability and the risk that the counterparty may default on its obligations. If the Investment Manager is incorrect about its expectations of market conditions, the use of derivatives could result in a loss, which in some cases may be unlimited.

Equity Securities Risk – Equity securities include common stocks and other equity securities (and securities convertible into stocks), and the prices of equity securities fluctuate in value more than other investments. They reflect changes in the issuing company’s financial condition and changes in the overall market. Common stocks generally represent the riskiest investment in a company. The Fund may lose a substantial part, or even all, of its investment in a company’s stock. Growth stocks may be more volatile than value stocks.

Foreign Securities Risk – Foreign securities, including investments in foreign securities through ADRs, 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.

Investment in Investment Vehicles Risk – Investing in other investment vehicles, including ETFs and other mutual funds, subjects the Fund to those risks affecting the investment vehicle, including the possibility that the value of the underlying securities held by the investment vehicle could decrease. Moreover, the Fund and its shareholders will incur its pro rata share of the underlying vehicles’ expenses.

Leverage Risk – The Fund’s use of leverage, through borrowings or instruments such as derivatives, may cause the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged.

Liquidity and Valuation Risk – In certain circumstances, it may be difficult for the Fund to purchase and sell particular investments within a reasonable time at a fair price, or the price at which it has been valued by the Investment Manager for purposes of the Fund’s net asset value, causing the Fund to be less liquid and unable to realize what the Investment Manager believes should be the price of the investment.

Management Risk – The Fund is actively managed, which means that investment decisions are made based on investment views. There is no guarantee that the investment views will be successful. Furthermore, active trading that can accompany active management, 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.

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.

Regulatory and Legal Risk – U.S. and other regulators and governmental agencies may implement additional regulations and legislators may pass new laws that affect the investments held by the Fund, the strategies used by the Fund or the level of regulation or taxation applying to the Fund (such as regulations related to investments in derivatives). These may impact the investment strategies, performance, costs and operations of the Fund or taxation of shareholders.

Restricted Securities Risk – Restricted securities generally cannot be sold to the public and may involve a high degree of business, financial and liquidity risk, which may result in substantial losses to the Fund.

Small-Capitalization Securities Risk – The Fund is subject to the risk that small capitalization stocks may underperform other segments of the equity market or the equity market as a whole. Small-capitalization companies may be more vulnerable than larger, more established organizations to adverse business or economic developments. Securities of small-capitalization companies may experience much more price volatility, greater spreads between their bid and ask prices, significantly lower trading volumes, and cyclical or static growth prospects. Small-capitalization companies often have limited product lines, markets or financial resources, and may therefore be more vulnerable to adverse developments than larger capitalization companies.

Technology Stocks Risk – Stocks of companies involved in the technology sector may be very volatile.

Value Stocks Risk – Value stocks are subject to the risk that the intrinsic value of the stock may never be realized by the market or that the price goes down.

[1] The Investment Manager has contractually agreed through February 1, 2014 to waive fees and/or reimburse 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) ("Operating Expenses") of the Fund to the annual percentage of 1.05% of the average daily net assets for the Fund. 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 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 adviser ceases to serve as such (subject to recoupment rights).
