ECONOMIC AND MARKET OVERVIEW (Unaudited)

March 31, 2015

The U.S. continued to enjoy a self-sustaining economic expansion for the six-month period ended March 31, 2015, although winter weather was likely to distort first-quarter economic data. In addition, U.S. companies scaled back hiring in the last month of the period, adding to evidence that the domestic economy has lost some momentum since the turn of the year. The March increase in payrolls was the smallest since December 2013 and broke a 12-month run of gains above 200,000.

Despite this short-term dislocation, the economy remains on track. Indeed, many other labor market indicators, such as initial jobless claims and the job openings rate, suggest that the U.S. labor market remains quite strong, supporting the conclusion that March’s payroll report was just a temporary blip, similar to the one witnessed last winter. As soon as temporary seasonal factors have dissipated, economic data is likely to bounce back. The labor market has improved over the past year, as subdued mortgage rates and tight housing inventory continue to point to fairly stable appreciation in the housing market, which is key to the ongoing recovery. Consumers are also being helped by lower fuel prices, which are acting as a tax cut for U.S. consumers, freeing up discretionary spending in other areas and acting as a support for consumption.

In Europe, economic data has been surprisingly good and should continue along that path on the back of the European Central Bank’s program of quantitative easing and depreciation of the euro. Japan’s economy remains weak and, without more structural reform, continued monetary accommodation could lead to stagflation. China’s policymakers appear likely to continue the supply of credit and do whatever else is necessary to maintain growth there at an acceptable pace for the near term.

Given weakness overseas and the effect of a stronger U.S. dollar on international earnings, some stocks could face a more challenging environment in the near term, but our research shows that equity markets tend to perform quite well in the periods leading up to a U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) rate increase. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note declined in January by more than 50 basis points before rebounding in February, echoing the pattern since 2009—Treasury yields decline and a sell-off ensues, driving rates higher. Then conditions stabilize, and rates test their previous lows. Liquidity from foreign central banks and comparatively attractive U.S. yields continue to push global investors to U.S. Treasuries, which should hold down U.S. interest rates in the near term.

Against this backdrop, the U.S. central bank feels pressure to raise its key rate above zero, but insists the decision will be data-dependent and not occur prematurely. With a secular inflation increase unlikely in the near term, slack in the economy, and disinflation being imported from abroad, the Fed may not hike rates until later in the year. The Fed for now appears to be focused on wage growth, which is key for sustaining the expansion but also an indicator of inflationary pressure. The lack of sustained wage growth has been a topic that has confounded the Fed lately. Given the strengthening employment numbers and the apparent reduction in labor market slack, wages should start to increase more steadily across the board. This is one of the most important data points at the moment for the Fed.

The underlying U.S. economy remains strong and investors should avoid being panicked by seasonal setbacks. Indeed, considering the strength of the economy and the wave of liquidity emanating from various central banks around the world, the general investment environment should remain attractive.

For the six months ended March 31, 2015, the Standard & Poor’s 500^® (“S&P 500”) Index* returned 5.93%. The Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) Europe-Australasia-Far East (“EAFE”) Index* returned 1.13%. The return of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index* was -2.37%.

In the bond market, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index* posted a 3.43% return for the period, while the Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Index* returned 1.49%. The return of the Bank of America Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index* was 0.01% 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.

ABOUT SHAREHOLDERS’ FUND EXPENSES (Unaudited)

All mutual funds have operating expenses and it is important for our shareholders to understand the impact of costs on their investments. Shareholders of a Fund incur two types of costs: (i) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; and exchange fees; and (ii) ongoing costs, including management fees, administrative services, and shareholder reports, among others. These ongoing costs, or operating expenses, are deducted from a fund’s gross income and reduce the investment return of the fund.

A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets, which is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help investors understand the 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 examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period beginning September 30, 2014 and ending March 31, 2015.

The following tables illustrate a Fund’s costs in two ways:

Table 1. Based on actual Fund return. This section helps investors estimate the actual expenses paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return, and the fourth column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. Investors may use the information here, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses paid over the period. Simply divide the Fund’s 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 provided under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Table 2. Based on hypothetical 5% return. This section is intended to help investors compare a Fund’s cost with those of other mutual funds. The table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses paid during the period. The example is useful in making comparisons because the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on the 5% return. Investors can assess a Fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

The calculations illustrated above assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.

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, and contingent deferred sales charges ("CDSC") on redemptions, 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.

More information about a Fund’s expenses, including annual expense ratios for the past five years, can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to the appropriate Fund prospectus.

Source: BlackRock Solutions. Credit quality ratings are measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). All securities have been rated by Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”), or Fitch, which are all a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (“NRSRO”). For purposes of this presentation, when ratings are available from more than one agency, the highest rating is used. Guggenheim Investments has converted Moody’s and Fitch ratings to the equivalent S&P rating. Security ratings are determined at the time of purchase and may change thereafter.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Guggenheim Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust, is registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), as a non-diversified, open-ended investment company of the series type. Each series, in effect, is representing a separate Fund. The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust accounts for the assets of each Fund separately.

The Trust offers a combination of four separate classes of shares, A-Class shares, B-Class shares, C-Class shares and Institutional Class shares. Sales of shares of each Class are made without a front-end sales charge at the net asset value per share (“NAV”), with the exception of A-Class shares. A-Class shares are sold at the NAV, plus the applicable front-end sales charge. The sales charge varies depending on the amount purchased, but will not exceed 4.75%. Prior to February 22, 2011, the maximum sales charge was 5.75%. A-Class share purchases of $1 million or more are exempt from the front-end sales charge but have a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”), if shares are redeemed within 12 months of purchase. B-Class shares were offered without a front-end sales charge, but were subject to a CDSC of up to 5% for five years and convert to A-Class shares after eight years. Effective January 4, 2010, subscriptions for B-Class shares are no longer accepted. C-Class shares have a 1% CDSC if shares are redeemed within 12 months of purchase. 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 offered without a front-end sales charge or a CDSC. At March 31, 2015, the Trust consisted of eighteen funds.

This report covers the Alpha Opportunity Fund, Enhanced World Equity Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, Risk Managed Real Estate Fund, Small Cap Value Fund, StylePlus—Large Core Fund, StylePlus—Mid Growth Fund and World Equity Income Fund (the “Funds”).

The Guggenheim Alpha Opportunity Fund, Guggenheim Enhanced World Equity Fund, Guggenheim Large Cap Value Fund, Guggenheim Small Cap Value Fund, Guggenheim StylePlus—Large Core Fund, Guggenheim StylePlus—Mid Growth Fund, and Guggenheim World Equity Income Fund were previously series (the “Predecessor Funds”) of Security Equity Fund, Security Large Cap Value Fund and Security Mid Cap Growth Fund, different registered open-end investment companies, which were organized as Kansas corporations. In January 2014, at a special meeting of shareholders, the shareholders of the Predecessor Funds approved the reorganization of each Predecessor Fund with and into the Funds, a corresponding “shell” series of the Trust. The Funds succeeded to the accounting and performance history of the Predecessor Funds. Any such historical information provided for the Funds that relates to periods prior to January 28, 2014 (September 23, 2014 for the Guggenheim Alpha Opportunity Fund), therefore, is that of the Predecessor Fund.

Guggenheim Investments (“GI”) provides advisory services, and Rydex Fund Services, LLC (“RFS”) provides transfer agent, administrative and accounting 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.

The NAV of each Class of the Funds is calculated by dividing the market value of the Fund’s securities and other assets, less all liabilities, attributable to the Class by the number of outstanding shares of the Class.

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

76 | THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

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 such as World Equity Benchmark Securities. In addition, the Board of Trustees has authorized the Valuation Committee and GI to use prices and other information supplied by a third party pricing vendor in valuing foreign securities.

Open-end investment companies (“Mutual Funds”) are valued at their NAV as of the close of business, on the valuation date. Exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and closed-end investment companies (“CEFs”) are valued at the last quoted sales price.

Debt securities with a maturity of greater than 60 days at acquisition are valued at prices that reflect broker/dealer supplied valuations or are obtained from independent pricing services, which may consider the trade activity, treasury spreads, yields or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, and type, as well as prices quoted by dealers who make markets in such securities. Short-term debt securities with a maturity of 60 days or less at acquisition are valued at amortized cost, provided such amount approximates market value.

Listed options are valued at the Official Settlement Price listed by the exchange, usually as of 4:00 p.m. Long options are valued using the bid price and short options are valued using the ask price. In the event that a settlement price is not available, fair valuation is enacted. Over-the-counter options are valued using the average bid price (for long options), or average ask price (for short options) obtained from one or more security dealers.

The value of futures contracts is accounted for using the unrealized gain or loss on the contracts that is determined by marking the contracts to their current realized settlement prices. Financial futures contracts are valued at the 4:00 p.m. price on the valuation date. In the event that the exchange for a specific futures contract closes earlier than 4:00 p.m., the futures contract is valued at the Official Settlement Price of the exchange. However, the underlying securities from which the futures contract value is derived are monitored until 4:00 p.m. to determine if fair valuation would provide a more accurate valuation.

The value of OTC swap agreements entered into by a Fund is accounted for using the unrealized gain or loss on the agreements that is determined by marking the agreements to the last quoted value of the index that the swap pertains to at the close of the NYSE. The swap's value is then adjusted to include dividends accrued, and financing charges and/or interest associated with the swap agreements.

THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT | 77

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

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). In connection with futures contracts and other derivative investments such factors may include obtaining information as to how (a) these contracts and other derivative investments trade in the futures or other derivative markets, respectively, and (b) the securities underlying these contracts and other derivative investments trade in the cash market.

B. The Funds 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 Funds actually take 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 Funds will generally purchase these securities with the intention of acquiring such securities, they may sell such securities before the settlement date.

C. When a Fund engages in a short sale of a security, an amount equal to the proceeds is reflected as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the market value of the short sale. The Fund maintains a segregated account of cash and/or securities as collateral for short sales.

Fees, if any, paid to brokers to borrow securities in connection with short sales are recorded as interest expense. In addition, the Fund must pay out the dividend rate of the equity or coupon rate of the obligation to the lender and record this as an expense. Short dividend or interest expense is a cost associated with the investment objective of short sales transactions, rather than an operational cost associated with the day-to-day management of any mutual fund. The Funds may also receive rebate income from the broker resulting from the investment of the proceeds from securities sold short.

D. Upon the purchase of an option, the premium paid is recorded as an investment, the value of which is marked-to-market daily. If a purchased option expires, the Fund realizes a loss in the amount of the cost of the option. When the Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, it realizes a gain or loss depending on whether the proceeds from the closing sale transaction are greater or less than the cost of the option. If the Fund exercises a put option, it realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from such sale will be decreased by the premium originally paid. When the Fund exercises a call option, the cost of the security purchased by the Fund upon exercise increases by the premium originally paid.

When the Fund writes (sells) an option, an amount equal to the premium received is entered in that Fund’s accounting records as an asset and equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. When a written option expires, or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, it realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was sold).

E. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund deposits and maintains as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is affected. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

78 | THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

F. Swap agreements are marked-to-market daily and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss. Payments received or made as a result of an agreement or termination of the agreement are recognized as realized gains or losses.

G. 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. Interest income also includes paydown gains and losses on mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities and 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. 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.

H. Dividends from net investment income are declared quarterly in the World Equity Income Fund and Risk Managed Real Estate Fund. Dividends are reinvested in additional shares unless shareholders request payment in cash. Distributions of net investment income in the remaining Funds and distributions of net realized gains, if any, in all Funds are declared at least annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP.

I. Interest and dividend income, most expenses, all realized gains and losses, and all unrealized gains and losses are allocated to the classes based upon the value of the outstanding shares in each Class. Certain costs, such as distribution and service fees are charged directly to specific classes. In addition, certain expenses have been allocated to the individual Funds in the Trust on a pro rata basis upon the respective aggregate net assets of each Fund included in the Trust.

J. 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, if any. For the period ended March 31, 2015, there were no earnings credits received.

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.

K. The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income, and certain expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Changes in the relationship of these foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of the investments and earnings of the Funds. Foreign investments may also subject the Funds to foreign government exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic developments, all of which could affect the market and/ or credit risk of the investments.

The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains and 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 values of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at the fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

L. 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

THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT | 79

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

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. Financial Instruments

As part of their investment strategy, the Funds utilize short sales and a variety of derivative instruments. These investments involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk and risks in excess of the amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

A short sale is a transaction in which a Fund sells a security it does not own. If the security sold short decreases in price between the time the Fund sells the security and closes its short position, that Fund will realize a gain on the transaction. Conversely, if the security increases in price during the period, that Fund will realize a loss on the transaction. The risk of such price increases is the principal risk of engaging in short sales.

An option on a security gives the purchaser of the option the right to sell, and the writer of the option the obligation to buy, the underlying security (put option) or the purchaser of the option the right to buy, and the writer of the option the obligation to sell, the underlying security (call option) at any time during the option period. The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium originally paid. The risk in writing a call option is that a Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the underlying security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that a Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the underlying security decreases and the option is exercised. In addition, there may be an imperfect correlation between the movement in prices of options and the underlying securities and a Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market or, for over-the-counter options, because of the counterparty’s inability to perform.

A futures contract is an agreement to purchase (long) or sell (short) an agreed amount of securities or other instruments at a set price for delivery at a future date. There are significant risks associated with a Fund’s use of futures contracts, including (i) there may be an imperfect or no correlation between the changes in market value of the underlying asset and the prices of futures contracts; (ii) there may not be a liquid secondary market for a futures contract; (iii) trading restrictions or limitations may be imposed by an exchange; and (iv) government regulations may restrict trading in futures contracts. When investing in futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default. Cash deposits are shown as segregated cash with the broker on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities; securities held as collateral are noted on the Schedule of Investments.

A swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to changes in specified prices or rates for a specified amount of an underlying asset. A Fund utilizing OTC swaps bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a swap agreement counterparty. Additionally, there is no guarantee that a Fund or an underlying fund could eliminate its exposure under an outstanding swap agreement by entering into an offsetting swap agreement with the same or another party.

Certain Funds use derivative instruments to achieve leveraged exposure to their respective underlying indices. Since these Funds’ investment strategies involve consistently applied leverage, the value of the Fund’s shares will tend to increase or decrease more than the value of any increase or decrease in the underlying index. In addition, as investment in derivative instruments generally requires a small investment relative to the amount of investment exposure assumed, this creates an opportunity for increased net income but, at the same time, additional leverage risk. The Funds’ use of leverage, through borrowings or instruments such as derivatives, may cause the Funds to be more volatile and riskier than if they had not been leveraged.

In conjunction with the use of short sales and derivative instruments, the Funds are required to maintain collateral in various forms. The Funds use, where appropriate, depending on the financial instrument utilized and the broker involved, margin deposits at the broker, cash and/or securities segregated at the custodian bank, discount notes or the repurchase agreements allocated to each Fund.

There are several risks associated with exposure to foreign currencies, foreign issuers and emerging markets. A Fund’s indirect and direct exposure to foreign currencies subjects the Fund to the risk that

80 | THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, or, in the case of short positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates and the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the U.S. or abroad. In addition, the Fund may incur transaction costs in connection with conversions between various currencies. The Fund may, but is not obligated to, engage in currency hedging transactions, which generally involve buying currency forward, options or futures contracts. However, not all currency risk may be effectively hedged, and in some cases the costs of hedging techniques may outweigh expected benefits. In such instances, the value of securities denominated in foreign currencies can change significantly when foreign currencies strengthen or weaken relative to the U.S. dollar.

Certain Funds may invest in securities of foreign companies directly, or in financial instruments, such as ADRs and exchange-traded funds, which are indirectly linked to the performance of foreign issuers. Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market. Investing in securities of foreign companies directly, or in financial instruments that are indirectly linked to the performance of foreign issuers, may involve risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. issuers. The value of securities denominated in foreign currencies, and of dividends from such securities, can change significantly when foreign currencies strengthen or weaken relative to the U.S. dollar. Foreign securities markets generally have less trading volume and less liquidity than U.S. markets, and prices in some foreign markets may fluctuate more than those of securities traded on U.S. markets. Many foreign countries lack accounting and disclosure standards comparable to those that apply to U.S. companies, and it may be more difficult to obtain reliable information regarding a foreign issuer’s financial condition and operations. Transaction costs and costs associated with custody services are generally higher for foreign securities than they are for U.S. securities. Some foreign governments levy withholding taxes against dividend and interest income. Although in some countries portions of these taxes are recoverable, the non-recovered portion will reduce the income received by the Fund.

The Trust has established counterparty credit guidelines and enters into transactions only with financial institutions of investment grade or better. The Trust monitors the counterparty credit risk.

The Trust has adopted Distribution Plans related to the offering of A-Class, B-Class and C-Class shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The plans provide for payments at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each Fund’s A-Class shares and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of each Fund’s B-Class and C-Class shares. Effective August 1, 2007, the Large Cap Value Fund ceased charging 12b-1 fees on B-Class shares in accordance with the FINRA sales cap regulations. These fees may be reinstated at any time. Effective August 25, 2005, the World Equity Income Fund ceased charging 12b-1 fees on B-Class shares in accordance with the FINRA sales cap regulations. These fees may be reinstated at any time.

For the period ended March 31, 2015, GFD retained sales charges of $42,585 relating to sales of A-Class shares of the Trust.

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 assets or liabilities.

Level 2 —

significant other observable inputs (for example quoted prices for securities that are similar based on characteristics such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3 —

significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available under the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, which may include assumptions.

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 following table summarizes the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments at March 31, 2015:

	Level 1 Investments In Securities		Level 1 Other Financial Instruments*		Level 2 Investments In Securities		Level 2 Other Financial Instruments*		Level 3 Investments In Securities		Total

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

Independent pricing services are used to value a majority of the Funds’ investments. When values are not available from a pricing service, they may be computed by the Funds’ investment adviser or an affiliate. In any event, values may be determined using a variety of sources and techniques, including: market prices; broker quotes; and models which derive prices based on inputs such as prices of securities with comparable maturities and characteristics or based on inputs such as anticipated cash flows or collateral, spread over Treasuries, and other information and analysis. A significant portion of the Funds’ assets and liabilities are categorized as Level 2 or Level 3, as indicated in this report.

Indicative quotes from broker-dealers, adjusted for fluctuations in criteria such as credit spreads and interest rates, may be also used to value the Funds’ assets and liabilities, i.e. prices provided by a broker-dealer or other market participant who has not committed to trade at that price. Although indicative quotes are typically received from established market participants, the Funds may not have the transparency to view the underlying inputs which support the market quotations. Significant changes in an indicative quote would generally result in significant changes in the fair value of the security.

Certain fixed income securities are valued by obtaining a monthly indicative quote from a broker-dealer, adjusted for fluctuations in criteria such as credit spreads and interest rates. The Funds’ fair valuation guidelines were recently revised to transition such monthly indicative quoted securities from Level 2 to Level 3.

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.

Transfers between investment levels may occur as the markets fluctuate and/or the availability of data used in an investment’s valuation changes. The Funds recognized transfers between the levels as of the beginning of the period. As of March 31, 2015, the World Equity Income Fund had transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 due to utilizing international fair value pricing during the period. There were no other securities that transferred between levels.

5. Derivative Investment Holdings Categorized by Risk Exposure

U.S. GAAP requires disclosures to enable investors to better understand how and why the Funds use derivative instruments, how these derivative instruments are accounted for and their effects on the Funds’ financial position and results of operations.

The Enhanced World Equity Fund utilized options to minimally hedge the Fund’s portfolio to increase returns, to maintain exposure to equity markets and create liquidity.

6. Offsetting

In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into transactions subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or other similar arrangements. Generally, the right to offset in those agreements allows the Funds to counteract the exposure to a specific counterparty with collateral received or delivered to that counterparty based on the terms of the arrangements. These arrangements provide for the right to liquidate upon the occurrence of an event of default, credit event upon merger or additional termination event.

In order to better define their contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Funds mitigate their counterparty risk, the Funds may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with their derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between a Fund and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives, including foreign exchange contracts, and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of a default (close-out netting) or similar event, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty.

For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Funds and the counterparty. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Funds and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as segregated cash with broker/receivable for variation margin, or payable for swap settlement/variation margin. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a counterparty must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g., $300,000) before a transfer is required to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Funds from their counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Funds bear the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. The Funds attempt to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that they believe to be of good standing and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

7. 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.

At March 31, 2015, 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 (Loss)

11. Line of Credit

The Trust, with the exception of Alpha Opportunity Fund and Capital Stewardship Fund, secured a committed, $625,000,000 line of credit from Citibank, N.A., good through October 9, 2015, at which time the line of credit may be renewed. This line of credit is reserved for emergency or temporary purposes. Fees related to borrowings, if any, vary under this arrangement between the greater of Citibank’s “base rate”, LIBOR plus 1.0%, and the Fed Funds rate, plus 0.50%. The Trust did not have any borrowings under this agreement as of and for the period-ended March 31, 2015. The Trust also pays a commitment fee at an annualized rate of 0.07% of the average daily amount of their unused commitment amount.

12. Other Liabilities

StylePlus—Large Core Fund wrote put option contracts through Lehman Brothers Inc., (“LBI”) that were exercised prior to the option contracts’ expiration and prior to the bankruptcy filing by LBI, during September, 2008. However, these transactions have not settled and the securities have not been delivered to the Fund as of March 31, 2015.

Although the ultimate resolution of these transactions is uncertain, the Fund has recorded a liability on its respective book equal to the difference between the strike price on the put options and the market price of the underlying security on the exercise date. The amount of the liability recorded by the Fund as of March 31, 2015, was $18,615.

13. Alpha Opportunity Fund

As noted in the Fund’s prior shareholder report, the Fund resolved certain outstanding short sale transactions with Lehman Brothers International Europe (“LBIE”) and its administrator in June 2014.

Effective January 28, 2015, the Fund, which had not accepted subscriptions since October 3, 2008, is once again accepting subscriptions for shares from new and existing shareholders.

14. Subsequent Event

P-Class Shares to be Offered

Effective following the close of business on April 30, 2015, or such later date as may be determined appropriate by management, Alpha Opportunity Fund, Large Cap Value fund, Risk Managed Real Estate Fund, Small Cap Value Fund, StylePlus—Large Core Fund, StylePlus—Mid Growth Fund and World Equity Income Fund (collectively, the “Funds”), each of which is a separate series of Guggenheim Funds Trust, will offer P-Class shares.

THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT | 89

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.

Source: BlackRock Solutions. Credit quality ratings are measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). All securities except for those labeled “NR” have been rated by Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”), or Fitch, which are all a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (“NRSRO”). For purposes of this presentation, when ratings are available from more than one agency, the highest rating is used. Guggenheim Investments has converted Moody’s and Fitch ratings to the equivalent S&P rating. Security ratings are determined at the time of purchase and may change thereafter.

NR securities do not necessarily indicate low credit quality.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Guggenheim Funds Trust (the "Trust"), a Delaware statutory trust, is registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act”), as a non-diversified, open-ended investment company of the series type. Each series, in effect, is representing a separate Fund. The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust accounts for the assets of each Fund separately.

The Trust offers a combination of four separate classes of shares, A-Class shares, B-Class shares, C-Class shares and Institutional Class shares. Sales of shares of each Class are made without a front-end sales charge at the net asset value per share (“NAV”), with the exception of A-Class shares. A-Class shares are sold at the NAV, plus the applicable front-end sales charge. The sales charge varies depending on the amount purchased, but will not exceed 4.75%, except for Limited Duration Fund which will not exceed 2.25%. A-Class share purchases of $1 million or more are exempt from the front-end sales charge but have a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”), if shares are redeemed within 12 months of purchase. B-Class shares were offered without a front-end sales charge, but were subject to a CDSC of up to 5% for five years and convert to A-Class shares after eight years. Effective January 4, 2010, subscriptions for B-Class shares are no longer accepted. C-Class shares have a 1% CDSC if shares are redeemed within 12 months of purchase. 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 offered without a front-end sales charge or a CDSC. At March 31, 2015, the Trust consisted of eighteen funds.

As of January 1, 2012, A-Class, C-Class and Institutional Class shares of High Yield Fund are subject to a 2% redemption fee when shares are redeemed or exchanged within 90 days of purchase.

This report covers High Yield Fund, Investment Grade Bond Fund, Limited Duration Fund and the Municipal Income Fund (the “Funds”), while the other funds are in separate reports.

The Funds were previously series (the “Predecessor Funds”) of Security Income Fund, a different registered open-end investment company, which was organized as a Kansas corporation. In January 2014, at a special meeting of shareholders, the shareholders of the Predecessor Funds approved the reorganization of the Predecessor Funds with and into the Funds, corresponding “shell” series of the Trust. The Funds succeeded to the accounting and performance history of the Predecessor Funds. Any such historical information provided for the Funds that relate to periods prior to January 28, 2014, therefore, is that of the Predecessor Funds.

Guggenheim Partners Investment Management (“GPIM”), an affiliate of GI, serves as investment sub-advisor (the “Sub-Advisor”) to the Municipal Income Fund and is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio.

Significant Accounting Policies

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.

THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT | 53

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.

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.

Open-end investment companies ("Mutual Funds") are valued at their NAV as of the close of business, on the valuation date.

Repurchase agreements are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Typically loans are valued using information provided by an independent third party pricing service which uses broker quotes in a non-active market.

The value of interest rate swap agreements entered into by a Fund are accounted for using the unrealized gain or loss on the agreements that is determined using the spread priced off the previous day’s Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME“) price.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued daily based on the applicable exchange rate of the underlying currency. The change in value of the contract is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the forward foreign currency contract is closed. When the forward foreign currency contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time the contract was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

54 | THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

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). In connection with derivative investments such factors may include, obtaining information as to how (a) these contracts and other derivative investments trade in the futures or other derivative markets, respectively, and (b) the securities underlying these contracts and other derivative investments trade in the cash market.

B. Certain U.S. Government and Agency Obligations are traded on a discount basis; the interest rates shown on the Schedules of Investments reflect the effective rates paid at the time of purchase by the Funds. Other securities bear interest at the rates shown, payable at fixed dates through maturity.

C. Senior loans in which the Funds invest generally pay interest 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 one-month or three-month 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 March 31, 2015.

D. The Funds 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 Funds actually take 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 Funds will generally purchase these securities with the intention of acquiring such securities, they may sell such securities before the settlement date.

E. Upon the purchase of an option, the premium paid is recorded as an investment, the value of which is marked-to-market daily. If a purchased option expires, the Fund realizes a loss in the amount of the cost of the option. When the Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, it realizes a gain or loss depending on whether the proceeds from the closing sale transaction are greater or less than the cost of the option. If the Fund exercises a put option, it realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from such sale will be decreased by the premium originally paid. When the Fund exercises a call option, the cost of the security purchased by the Fund upon exercise increases by the premium originally paid.

G. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued daily based on the applicable exchange rate of the underlying currency. The change in value of the contract is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the forward foreign currency contract is closed. When the forward foreign currency contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time the contract was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT | 55

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

H. 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. Interest income also includes paydown gains and losses on mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities and 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. 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.

I. The Funds declare dividends from investment income daily. Each Fund pays its shareholders from its net investment income monthly and distributes any net capital gains that it has realized, at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends are reinvested in additional shares unless shareholders request payment in cash. 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.

J. Interest and dividend income, most expenses, all realized gains and losses, and all unrealized gains and losses are allocated to the classes based upon the value of the outstanding shares in each class. Certain costs, such as distribution and service fees are charged directly to specific classes. In addition, certain expenses have been allocated to the individual Funds in the Trust on a pro rata basis upon the respective aggregate net assets of each Fund included in the Trust.

K. 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 Statements of Operations are before the reduction in expense from the related earnings credits, if any. For the period ended March 31, 2015, there were no earnings credits received.

L. 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.

M. 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.

N. The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income, and certain expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Changes in the relationship of these foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of the investments and earnings of the Funds. Foreign investments may also subject the Funds to foreign government exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic developments, all of which could affect the market and/or credit risk of the investments.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

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

2. Financial Instruments

As part of their investment strategy, the Funds utilize a variety of derivative instruments. These investments involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk and risks in excess of the amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

A swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to changes in specified prices or rates for a specified amount of an underlying asset. A Fund utilizing OTC swaps bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a swap agreement counterparty. For Funds utilizing interest rate swaps, the exchange bears the risk of loss. Additionally, there is no guarantee that a Fund or an underlying fund could eliminate its exposure under an outstanding swap agreement by entering into an offsetting swap agreement with the same or another party.

A forward foreign currency exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to exchange two designated currencies at a specific time in the future. The contracts can be used to hedge or manage exposure to foreign currency risks with portfolio investments or to gain exposure to foreign currencies.

In conjunction with the use of derivative instruments, the Funds are required to maintain collateral in various forms. The Funds use, where appropriate, depending on the financial instrument utilized and the broker involved, margin deposits at the broker, cash and/or securities segregated at the custodian bank, discount notes or the repurchase agreements allocated to each Fund.

The Trust has established counterparty credit guidelines and enters into transactions only with financial institutions of investment grade or better. The Trust monitors the counterparty credit risk.

Transfers between investment levels may occur as the markets fluctuate and/or the availability of data used in an investment’s valuation changes. The Fund recognized transfers between the levels as of the beginning of the period. As of March 31, 2015, the Fund had transfers in/out of Level 3 due to changes in securities valuation method. The High Yield Fund also had transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 due to utilizing international fair value pricing during the period. See the table below for changes to and from Level 2 and Level 3. There were no other securities that transferred between levels.

6. Federal Income Tax Information

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.

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. The Funds’ investment adviser, acting under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, reviews the value of the collateral and the creditworthiness of those banks and dealers with which the Funds enter into repurchase agreements to evaluate potential risks.

12. Reverse Repurchase Agreements

Each of the Funds may enter into reverse repurchase agreements. Under a reverse repurchase agreement, a Fund sells securities and agrees to repurchase them at a particular price at a future date. In the event the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, such buyer or its trustee or receiver may receive an extension of time to determine whether to enforce the Fund’s obligation to repurchase the securities, and the Fund’s use of the proceeds of the reverse repurchase agreement may effectively be restricted pending such decision.

For the period ended March 31, 2015, the following Funds entered into reverse repurchase agreements as follows:

Fund	Number of Days outstanding		Balance at March 31, 2015		Average balance outstanding		Average interest rate

15. Offsetting

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into transactions subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or other similar arrangements. Generally, the right to offset in those agreements allows the Fund to counteract the exposure to a specific counterparty with collateral received or delivered to that counterparty based on the terms of the arrangements. These arrangements provide for the right to liquidate upon the occurrence of an event of default, credit event upon merger or additional termination event.

In order to better define their contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with its derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between a Fund and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives, including foreign exchange contracts, and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of a default (close-out netting) or similar event, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty.

For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Fund and the counterparty. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Fund and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as segregated cash with broker/receivable for variation margin, or payable for swap settlement/variation margin. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a counterparty must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g., $300,000) before a transfer is required to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. The Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that they believe to be of good standing and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

March 31, 2015

key for sustaining the expansion but also an indicator of inflationary pressure. The lack of sustained wage growth has been a topic that has confounded the Fed lately. Given the strengthening employment numbers and the apparent reduction in labor market slack, wages should start to increase more steadily across the board. This is one of the most important data points at the moment for the Fed.

ABOUT SHAREHOLDERS’ FUND EXPENSES (Unaudited)(continued)

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, and contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”) on redemptions, 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.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

This report covers the Mid Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) while the other funds are in separate reports. Only A-Class, B-Class and C-Class shares had been issued by the Fund.

The Fund was previously a series (the “Predecessor Fund”) of Security Equity Fund, a different registered open-end investment company, which was organized as a Kansas corporation. In January 2014, at a special meeting of shareholders, the shareholders of the Predecessor Fund approved the reorganization of the Predecessor Fund with and into the Fund, a corresponding “shell” series of the Trust. The Fund succeeded to the accounting and performance history of the Predecessor Fund. Any such historical information provided for the Fund that relates to periods prior to January 28, 2014, therefore, is that of the Predecessor Fund.

THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT | 19

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

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 NAV of each Class of the Fund is calculated by dividing the market value of the Fund’s securities and other assets, less all liabilities, attributable to the Class by the number of outstanding shares of the Class.

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.

20 | THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT

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.

Open-end investment companies (“Mutual Funds”) are valued at their NAV as of the close of business, on the valuation date.

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. These methods include, but are not limited to: (i) obtaining general information as to how these securities and assets trade; and (ii) obtaining other information and considerations, including current values in related markets.

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. Interest income also includes paydown gains and losses on mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities and 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. 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.

THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT | 21

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

C. Distributions of net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. Dividends are reinvested in additional shares unless shareholders request payment in cash. 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. Interest and dividend income, most expenses, all realized gains and losses, and all unrealized gains and losses are allocated to the classes based upon the value of the outstanding shares in each Class. Certain costs, such as distribution and service fees are charged directly to specific classes. In addition, certain expenses have been allocated to the individual Funds in the Trust on a pro rata basis upon the respective aggregate net assets of each Fund included in the Trust.

E. Under the fee arrangement with the custodian, the Fund 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, if any. For the period ended March 31, 2015, there were no earnings credits received.

F. 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.

G. 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. 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.

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.

Fund		Tax Cost				Tax Unrealized Gain				Tax Unrealized Loss				Net Unrealized Gain
Mid Cap Value Fund		$	778,137,233			$	173,060,235			$	(47,954,180	)		$	125,106,055

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Under the terms of an investment advisory contract, the Fund pays GI investment advisory fees calculated at 1.00% of the average daily net assets of $200 million or less and 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Fund in excess of $200 million.

RFS is paid the following for providing transfer agent services to the Fund. Transfer agent fees are assessed to the applicable class of the Fund.

Transaction fee	$0.60 – $1.10
Minimum annual charge per Fund^†	$25,000
Certain out-of-pocket charges	Varies

^†	Not subject to Fund during first twelve months of operations.

RFS also acts as the administrative agent for the Fund, and as such performs administrative functions and the bookkeeping, accounting and pricing functions for the Fund. For these services, RFS receives 0.095% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. The minimum annual charge for accounting/administrative fees is $25,000.

THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT | 23

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

The Fund has adopted Distribution Plans related to the offering of A-Class, B-Class and C-Class shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The plans provide for payments at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s A-Class shares and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s B-Class and C-Class shares.

For the period ended March 31, 2015, GFD retained sales charges of $ relating to sales of A-Class shares of the Trust.

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 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. 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 assets or liabilities.

Level 2 —

significant other observable inputs (for example quoted prices for securities that are similar based on characteristics such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3 —

significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available under the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, which may include assumptions.

The following table summarizes the inputs used to value the Fund's investments at March 31, 2015:

	Level 1 Investments In Securities		Level 2 Investments In Securities		Level 3 Investments In Securities		Total
Assets
Mid Cap Value Fund	$	903,240,782	$	—	$	2,506	$	903,243,288

24 | THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(concluded)

For the period ended March 31, 2015, there were no transfers between levels.

5. Securities Transactions

For the period ended March 31, 2015, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investment securities, excluding government securities, short-term investments and derivatives, were as follows:

Fund		Purchases				Sales
Mid Cap Value Fund		$	553,455,434			$	913,349,567

6. Line of Credit

7. Other Liabilities

The Fund wrote put option contracts through Lehman Brothers Inc., (“LBI”) that were exercised prior to the option contracts’ expiration and prior to the bankruptcy filing by LBI, during September, 2008. However, these transactions have not settled and the securities have not been delivered to the Fund as of March 31, 2015.

Although the ultimate resolution of these transactions is uncertain, the Fund has recorded a liability on its books equal to the difference between the strike price on the put options and the market price of the underlying security on the exercise date. The amount of the liability recorded by the Fund as of March 31, 2015, was $473,594.

ECONOMIC AND MARKET OVERVIEW (Unaudited)(concluded)

March 31, 2015

in the year. The Fed for now appears to be focused on wage growth, which is key for sustaining the expansion but also an indicator of inflationary pressure. The lack of sustained wage growth has been a topic that has confounded the Fed lately. Given the strengthening employment numbers and the apparent reduction in labor market slack, wages should start to increase more steadily across the board. This is one of the most important data points at the moment for the Fed.

*Index Definitions:

The following indices are referenced throughout this report. Indices are unmanaged and not available for direct investment. Index performance does not reflect transaction costs, fees, or expenses.

Bank of America (“BofA”) Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index is an unmanaged market index of U.S. Treasury securities maturing in 90 days that assumes reinvestment of all income.

MSCI EAFE Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the U.S. & Canada.

ABOUT SHAREHOLDERS’ FUND EXPENSES (Unaudited)

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period beginning September 30, 2014 and ending March 31, 2015.

The following tables illustrate a Fund’s costs in two ways:

ABOUT SHAREHOLDERS’ FUND EXPENSES (Unaudited)(continued)

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, and contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”) on redemptions, 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.

In January 2014, at a special meeting of shareholders, the shareholders of the Predecessor Fund approved the reorganization of the Predecessor Fund with and into the Fund, a corresponding “shell” series of the Trust. The Fund succeeded to the accounting and performance history of the Predecessor Fund. Any such historical information provided for the Fund that relates to periods prior to January 28, 2014, therefore, is that of the Predecessor Fund.

Significant Accounting Policies

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.

THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS 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.

Open-end investment companies (“Mutual Funds”) are valued at their NAV as of the close of business, on the valuation date.

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. These methods include, but are not limited to: (i) obtaining general information as to how these securities and assets trade; and (ii) obtaining other information and considerations, including current values in related markets.

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 distributions received from the REIT investments using published REIT reclassifications, 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.

18 | THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

D. Certain expenses have been allocated to the individual Funds in the Trust on a pro rata basis upon the respective aggregate net assets of each Fund included in the Trust.

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.

F. 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. Federal Income Tax Information

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.

4. Fair Value Measurement

20 | THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

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 assets or liabilities.

Level 2 —

significant other observable inputs (for example quoted prices for securities that are similar based on characteristics such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3 —

significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available under the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, which may include assumptions.

The following table summarizes the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments at March 31, 2015:

	Level 1 Investments In Securities		Level 2 Investments In Securities		Level 3 Investments In Securities		Total
Assets
Mid Cap Value Institutional Fund	$	546,638,475	$	—	$	2,318	$	546,640,793

Transfers between investment levels may occur as the markets fluctuate and/or the availability of data used in the investment’s valuation changes. The Fund recognizes transfers between the levels as of the beginning of the period.

For the period ended March 31, 2015, there were no transfers between levels.

ABOUT SHAREHOLDERS’ FUND EXPENSES (Unaudited)

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period beginning September 30, 2014 and ending March 31, 2015.

The following tables illustrate a Fund’s costs in two ways:

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, and contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”) on redemptions, 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

This report covers the Capital Stewardship Fund (the “Fund”). As of March 31, 2015, only Institutional Class shares of the Fund were offered for subscription.

Concinnity Advisors, LP (the “Sub-Adviser”) serves as the sub-adviser to the Fund and is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio.

Significant Accounting Policies

The NAV of a fund is calculated by dividing the market value of the fund’s securities and other assets, less all liabilities, by the number of outstanding shares of the fund.

THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT | 13

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.

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. These methods include, but are not limited to: (i) obtaining general information as to how these securities and assets trade; and (ii) obtaining other information and considerations, including current values in related markets.

D. Certain expenses have been allocated to the individual Funds in the Trust on a pro rata basis upon the respective aggregate net assets of each Fund included in the Trust.

F. 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.

ECONOMIC AND MARKET OVERVIEW (Unaudited)(concluded)

pressure. The lack of sustained wage growth has been a topic that has confounded the Fed lately. Given the strengthening employment numbers and the apparent reduction in labor market slack, wages should start to increase more steadily across the board. This is one of the most important data points at the moment for the Fed.

*Index Definitions:

The following indices are referenced throughout this report. Indices are unmanaged and not available for direct investment. Index performance does not reflect transaction costs, fees, or expenses.

Bank of America (“BofA”) Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index is an unmanaged market index of U.S. Treasury securities maturing in 90 days that assumes reinvestment of all income.

MSCI EAFE Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the U.S. & Canada.

MSCI Emerging Markets Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure equity market performance in the global emerging markets.

ABOUT SHAREHOLDERS’ FUND EXPENSES (Unaudited)

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period beginning September 30, 2014 and ending March 31, 2015.

The following tables illustrate a Fund’s costs in two ways:

ABOUT SHAREHOLDERS’ FUND EXPENSES (Unaudited)(continued)

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, and contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”) on redemptions, 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.

OBJECTIVE: Seeks to provide total return, comprised of current income and capital appreciation.

Consolidated Holdings Diversification (Market Exposure as % of Net Assets)

“Consolidated Holdings Diversification (Market Exposure as % of Net Assets)” excludes any temporary cash investments or investments in Guggenheim Strategy Funds Trust mutual funds. Investments in those Funds do not provide “market exposure” to meet the fund’s investment objective, but will significantly increase the portfolio’s exposure to certain other asset categories (and their associated risks), which may cause the Fund to deviate from its principal investment strategy, including: (i) high yield, high risk debt securities rated below the top four long-term rating categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (also known as “junk bonds”); (ii) securities issued by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities; (iii) CLOs and similar investments; and (iv) other short-term fixed income securities.

1. Organization, Consolidation of Subsidiary and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

The Trust offers a combination of four separate classes of shares, A-Class shares, B-Class shares, C-Class shares and Institutional Class shares. Sales of shares of each Class are made without a front-end sales charge at the net asset value per share (“NAV”), with the exception of A-Class shares. A-Class shares are sold at the NAV, plus the applicable front-end sales charge. The sales charge varies depending on the amount purchased, but will not exceed 4.75%. A-Class share purchases of $1 million or more are exempt from the front-end sales charge but have a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”), if shares are redeemed within 12 months of purchase. B-Class shares were offered without a front-end sales charge, but were subject to a CDSC of up to 5% for five years and convert to A-Class shares after eight years. Effective January 4, 2010, subscriptions for B-Class shares are no longer accepted. C-Class shares have a 1% CDSC if shares are redeemed within 12 months of purchase. 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 offered without a front-end sales charge or a CDSC. At March 31, 2015, the Trust consisted of eighteen funds.

This report covers the Macro Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) while the other funds are in separate reports. Only A-Class, C-Class and Institutional Class shares had been issued by the Fund.

The Fund was previously a series (the “Predecessor Fund”) of Security Income Fund, a different registered open-end investment company, which was organized as a Kansas corporation. In January 2014, at a special meeting of shareholders, the shareholders of the Predecessor Fund approved the reorganization of the Predecessor Fund with and into the Fund, corresponding “shell” series of the Trust. The Fund succeeded to the accounting and performance history of the Predecessor Fund. Any such historical information provided for the Fund that relates to periods prior to January 28, 2014, therefore, is that of the Predecessor Fund.

Consolidation of Subsidiary

Each of the consolidated financial statements of the Fund includes the accounts of a wholly-owned and controlled Cayman Islands subsidiary (the “Subsidiary”). Significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation for the Fund.

The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in its Subsidiary which acts as an investment vehicle in order to effect certain investments consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies.

A summary of the Fund’s investment in its respective Subsidiary is as follows:

Fund	Inception Date of Subsidiary		Subsidiary Net Assets at March 31, 2015				% of Net Assets of the Fund at March 31, 2015
Macro Opportunities Fund	1/8/2015		$	2,315,863				0.08	%

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.

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.

THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT | 57

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

Repurchase agreements are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Typically loans are valued using information provided by an independent third party pricing service which uses broker quotes in a non-active market.

58 | THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

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). In connection with derivative investments such factors may include, obtaining information as to how (a) these contracts and other derivative investments trade in the futures or other derivative markets, respectively, and (b) the securities underlying these contracts and other derivative investments trade in the cash market.

B. Senior loans in which the Fund invests generally pay interest 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 one-month or three-month 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 March 31, 2015.

C. 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 Fund actually take 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 Fund will generally purchase these securities with the intention of acquiring such securities, they may sell such securities before the settlement date.

THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT | 59

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

D. When the Fund engages in a short sale of a security, an amount equal to the proceeds is reflected as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the market value of the short sale. The Fund maintains a segregated account of cash and/or securities as collateral for short sales.

Fees, if any, paid to brokers to borrow securities in connection with short sales are recorded as interest expense. In addition, the Fund must pay out the dividend rate of the equity or coupon rate of the obligation to the lender and record this as an expense. Short dividend or interest expense is a cost associated with the investment objective of short sales transactions, rather than an operational cost associated with the day-to-day management of any mutual fund. The Fund may also receive rebate income from the broker resulting from the investment of the proceeds from securities sold short.

60 | THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

H. 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. Interest income also includes paydown gains and losses on mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities and 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. 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.

I. The Fund declares dividends from investment income daily. The Fund pays its shareholders from its net investment income monthly and distributes any net capital gains that it has realized, at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends are reinvested in additional shares unless shareholders request payment in cash. 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.

J. Interest and dividend income, most expenses, all realized gains and losses, and all unrealized gains and losses are allocated to the classes based upon the value of the outstanding shares in each Class. Certain costs, such as distribution and service fees are charged directly to specific classes. In addition, certain expenses have been allocated to the individual Funds in the Trust on a pro rata basis upon the respective aggregate net assets of each Fund included in the Trust.

K. Under the fee arrangement with the custodian, the Fund 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, if any. For the period ended March 31, 2015, there were no earnings credits received.

L. 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.

THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT | 61

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

M. 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. Financial Instruments

As part of its investment strategy, the Fund utilizes short sales and a variety of derivative instruments. These investments involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk and risks in excess of the amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

62 | THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

A swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to changes in specified prices or rates for a specified amount of an underlying asset. A Fund utilizing OTC swaps bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a swap agreement counterparty. For Funds utilizing interest rate swaps, the exchange bears the risk of loss. Additionally, there is no guarantee that a Fund or an underlying fund could eliminate its exposure under an outstanding swap agreement by entering into an offsetting swap agreement with the same or another party.

In conjunction with the use short sales and of derivative instruments, the Fund is required to maintain collateral in various forms. The Fund uses, where appropriate, depending on the financial instrument utilized and the broker involved, margin deposits at the broker, cash and/or securities segregated at the custodian bank, discount notes or the repurchase agreements allocated to the Fund.

The Trust has established counterparty credit guidelines and enters into transactions only with financial institutions of investment grade or better. The Trust monitors the counterparty credit risk.

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Under the terms of an investment advisory contract, the Fund pays GI investment advisory fees calculated at an annualized rate of 0.89% of the average daily net assets of the Fund.

THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT | 63

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

GI has contractually agreed to waive the management fee it receives from the Subsidiary in an amount equal to the management fee paid to GI by the Subsidiary. This undertaking will continue in effect for so long as the Fund invests in the Subsidiary, and may not be terminated by GI unless GI obtains the prior approval of the Fund’s Board of Trustees for such termination.

RFS provides transfer agent services to the Fund for fees calculated at the rates below which are assessed to the applicable class of the Fund. For these services, RFS receives the following:

Annual charge per account	$5.00 – $8.00
Transaction fee	$0.60 – $1.10
Minimum annual charge per Fund^†	$25,000
Certain out-of-pocket charges	Varies

^†	Not subject to Fund during first twelve months of operations.

The Fund has adopted Distribution Plans related to the offering of A-Class and C-Class shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The plans provide for payments at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s A-Class shares and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s C-Class shares.

The investment advisory contract for the following Fund provides that the total expenses be limited to a percentage of average net assets for each class of shares, exclusive of brokerage costs, dividends on securities sold short, expenses of other investment companies in which a Fund invests, interest, taxes, litigation, indemnification and extraordinary expenses. The limits are listed below:

	Limit	Effective Date	Contract End Date
Macro Opportunities Fund - A-Class	1.36%	11/30/12	02/01/16
Macro Opportunities Fund - C-Class	2.11%	11/30/12	02/01/16

GI is entitled to reimbursement by the Fund for fees waived or expenses reimbursed during any of the previous 36 months, beginning on the date of the expense limitation agreement, if on any day the estimated operating expenses are less than the indicated percentages. At March 31, 2015, the amount of fees waived or expenses reimbursed that are subject to recoupment are presented in the following table:

Fund		Expires 2015				Expires 2016				Expires 2017				Expires 2018				Fund Total
Macro Opportunities Fund		$	161,466			$	961,870			$	1,692,031			$	1,346,426			$	4,161,793

For the period ended March 31, 2015, no amounts were recouped by GI.

If a Fund invests in an affiliated fund, the investing Fund’s Adviser has agreed to waive fees at the investing fund level through February 1, 2016. Fee waivers will be calculated at the investing Fund level without regard to any expense cap, if any, in effect for the investing Fund. Fees waived under this arrangement are not subject to reimbursement to GI.

During the period ended March 31, 2015, the following fund waived advisory fees related to investments in the affiliated funds.

Fund		Amount
Macro Opportunities Fund		$	163,681

For the period ended March 31, 2015, GFD retained sales charges of $73,546 relating to sales of A-Class shares of the Trust.

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

4. Fair Value Measurement

Level 1 —

quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 —

significant other observable inputs (for example quoted prices for securities that are similar based on characteristics such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT | 65

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(concluded)

Level 3 —

significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available under the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, which may include assumptions.

The following table summarizes the inputs used to value the Fund's investments at March 31, 2015:

	Level 1 Investments In Securities		Level 2 Investments In Securities		Level 2 Other Financial Instruments*		Level 3 Investments In Securities		Total
Assets
Macro Opportunities Fund	$	610,860,681	$	2,836,514,727	$	25,690,558	$	51,914,755	$	3,524,980,721

Liabilities
Macro Opportunities Fund	$	132,990,155	$	960,000	$	22,604,310	$	—	$	156,554,465

*	Other financial instruments may include forward foreign currency exchange contracts and/or swaps, which are reported as unrealized gain/loss at period end.

Independent pricing services are used to value a majority of the Fund's investments. When values are not available from a pricing service, they may be computed by the Fund's investment adviser or an affiliate. In any event, values may be determined using a variety of sources and techniques, including: market prices; broker quotes; and models which derive prices based on inputs such as prices of securities with comparable maturities and characteristics or based on inputs such as anticipated cash flows or collateral, spread over Treasuries, and other information and analysis. A significant portion of the Fund's assets and liabilities are categorized as Level 2 or Level 3, as indicated in this report.

Indicative quotes from broker-dealers, adjusted for fluctuations in criteria such as credit spreads and interest rates, may be also used to value the Fund’s assets and liabilities, i.e. prices provided by a broker-dealer or other market participant who has not committed to trade at that price. Although indicative quotes are typically received from established market participants, the Fund may not have the transparency to view the underlying inputs which support the market quotations. Significant changes in an indicative quote would generally result in significant changes in the fair value of the security.

66 | THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

Certain fixed income securities are valued by obtaining a monthly indicative quote from a broker-dealer, adjusted for fluctuations in criteria such as credit spreads and interest rates. The Fund's fair valuation guidelines were recently revised to transition such monthly indicative quoted securities from Level 2 to Level 3.

The following is a summary of significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value valuation of assets and liabilities categorized within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

6. Offsetting

For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Fund and the counterparty. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Fund and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as segregated cash with broker/receivable for variation margin, or payable for swap settlement/variation margin. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a counterparty must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g., $300,000) before a transfer is required to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. The Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that they believe to be of good standing and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

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 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 Fund seeks to assert its rights. The Fund’s investment adviser, acting under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, reviews the value of the collateral and the creditworthiness of those banks and dealers with which the Fund enters into repurchase agreements to evaluate potential risks.

14. Reverse Repurchase Agreements

The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements. Under a reverse repurchase agreement, a Fund sells securities and agrees to repurchase them at a particular price at a future date. In the event the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, such buyer or its trustee or receiver may receive an extension of time to determine whether to enforce the Fund’s obligation to repurchase the securities, and the Fund’s use of the proceeds of the reverse repurchase agreement may effectively be restricted pending such decision.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Guggenheim Funds Trust (the ”Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust, is registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (”1940 Act”), as a non-diversified, open-ended investment company of the series type. Each series, in effect, is representing a separate Fund. The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust accounts for the assets of each Fund separately.

The Trust offers a combination of four separate classes of shares, A-Class shares, B-Class shares, C-Class shares and Institutional Class shares. Sales of shares of each Class are made without a front-end sales charge at the net asset value per share (“NAV”), with the exception of A-Class shares. A-Class shares are sold at the NAV, plus the applicable front-end sales charge. The sales charge varies depending on the amount purchased, but will not exceed 4.75%. Class share purchases of $1 million or more are exempt from the front-end sales charge but have a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”), if shares are redeemed within 12 months of purchase. B-Class shares were offered without a front-end sales charge, but were subject to a CDSC of up to 5% for five years and convert to A-Class shares after eight years. Effective January 4, 2010, subscriptions for B-Class shares are no longer accepted. C-Class shares have a 1% CDSC if shares are redeemed within 12 months of purchase. 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 offered without a front-end sales charge or a CDSC. At March 31, 2015, the Trust consisted of eighteen funds.

This report covers the Floating Rate Strategies Fund (the “Fund”), while the other funds are in separate reports. Only A-Class, C-Class and Institutional Class shares had been issued by the Fund.

THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT | 31

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

Significant Accounting Policies

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.

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.

32 | THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

Typically loans are valued using information provided by an independent third party pricing service which uses broker quotes in a non-active market.

THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT | 33

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

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). In connection with derivative investments such factors may include, obtaining information as to how (a) these contracts and other derivative investments trade in the futures or other derivative markets, respectively, and (b) the securities underlying these contracts and other derivative investments trade in the cash market.

B. Senior loans in which the Fund invests generally pay interest 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 one-month or three-month 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 March 31, 2015.

34 | THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

D. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued daily based on the applicable exchange rate of the underlying currency. The change in value of the contract is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the forward foreign currency contract is closed. When the forward foreign currency contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time the contract was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

E. 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. Interest income also includes paydown gains and losses on mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities and 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. 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.

F. The Fund declares dividends from investment income daily. The Fund pays its shareholders from its net investment income monthly and distributes any net capital gains that it has realized, at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends are reinvested in additional shares unless shareholders request payment in cash. 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.

G. Interest and dividend income, most expenses, all realized gains and losses, and all unrealized gains and losses are allocated to the classes based upon the value of the outstanding shares in each Class. Certain costs, such as distribution and service fees are charged directly to specific classes. In addition, certain expenses have been allocated to the individual Funds in the Trust on a pro rata basis upon the respective aggregate net assets of each Fund included in the Trust.

THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT | 35

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

H. Under the fee arrangement with the custodian, the Fund 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, if any. For the period ended March 31, 2015, there were no earnings credits received.

I. 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.

J. 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.

K. The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income, and certain expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Changes in the relationship of these foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of the investments and earnings of the Fund. Foreign investments may also subject the Fund to foreign government exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic developments, all of which could affect the market and/or credit risk of the investments.

The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

2. Financial Instruments

As part of its investment strategy, the Fund utilizes derivative instruments. These investments involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk and risks in excess of the amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The Trust has established counterparty credit guidelines and enters into transactions only with financial institutions of investment grade or better. The Trust monitors the counterparty credit risk.

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Under the terms of an investment advisory contract, the Fund pays GI investment advisory fees calculated at an annualized rate of 0.65% of the average daily net assets of the Fund.

RFS provides transfer agent services to the Fund for fees calculated at the rates below which are assessed to the applicable class of the Fund. For these services, RFS receives the following:

Annual charge per account	$5.00 – $8.00
Transaction fee	$0.60 – $1.10
Minimum annual charge per Fund^†	$25,000
Certain out-of-pocket charges	Varies

^†	Not subject to Fund during first twelve months of operations.

For the period ended March 31, 2015, GFD retained sales charges of $46,666 relating to sales of A-Class shares of the Trust.

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

4. Fair Value Measurement

Level 1 —

quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 —

significant other observable inputs (for example quoted prices for securities that are similar based on characteristics such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3 —

significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available under the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, which may include assumptions.

The following table summarizes the inputs used to value the Fund's investments at March 31, 2015:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

broker quotes; and models which derive prices based on inputs such as prices of securities with comparable maturities and characteristics or based on inputs such as anticipated cash flows or collateral, spread over Treasuries, and other information and analysis. A significant portion of the Fund's assets and liabilities are categorized as Level 2 or Level 3, as indicated in this report.

Certain fixed income securities are valued by obtaining a monthly indicative quote from a broker-dealer, adjusted for fluctuations in criteria such as credit spreads and interest rates. The Fund's fair valuation guidelines were recently revised to transition such monthly indicative quoted securities from Level 2 to Level 3.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

Any remaining Level 3 securities held by the Fund and excluded from the table above, were not considered material to the Fund.

Transfers between investment levels may occur as the markets fluctuate and/or the availability of data used in an investment’s valuation changes. The Fund recognized transfers between the levels as of the beginning of the period. As of March 31, 2015, the Fund had transfers in/out of Level 3 due to changes in securities valuation method and transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 due to utilizing international fair value pricing during the period. See the table below for changes to and from Level 2 and Level 3. There were no other securities that transferred between levels.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of a default (close-out netting) or similar event, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty.

For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Fund and the counterparty. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Fund and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as segregated cash with broker/receivable for variation margin, or payable for swap settlement/variation margin. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a counterparty must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g., $300,000) before a transfer is required to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. The Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that they believe to be of good standing and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The following tables present derivative financial instruments and secured financing transactions that are subject to enforceable netting arrangements and offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

ABOUT SHAREHOLDERS’ FUND EXPENSES (Unaudited)

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period beginning September 30, 2014 and ending March 31, 2015.

The following tables illustrate a Fund’s costs in two ways:

THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT | 5

ABOUT SHAREHOLDERS’ FUND EXPENSES (Unaudited)(continued)

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, and contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”) on redemptions, 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.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

The Trust offers a combination of four separate classes of shares, A-Class shares, B-Class shares, C-Class shares and Institutional Class shares. Sales of shares of each Class are made without a front-end sales charge at the net asset value per share (“NAV”), with the exception of A-Class shares. A-Class shares are sold at the NAV, plus the applicable front-end sales charge. The sales charge varies depending on the amount purchased, but will not exceed 4.75%. A-Class share purchases of $1 million or more are exempt from the front-end sales charge but have a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”), if shares are redeemed within 12 months of purchase. B-Class shares were offered without a front-end sales charge, but were subject to a CDSC of up to 5% for five years and convert to A-Class shares after eight years.

THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT | 41

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.

Repurchase agreements are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

42 | THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

Typically loans are valued using information provided by an independent third party pricing service which uses broker quotes in a non-active market.

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). In connection with derivative investments such factors may include, obtaining information as to how (a) these contracts and other derivative investments trade in the futures or other derivative markets, respectively, and (b) the securities underlying these contracts and other derivative investments trade in the cash market.

B. Certain U.S. Government and Agency Obligations are traded on a discount basis; the interest rates shown on the Schedule of Investments reflect the effective rates paid at the time of purchase by the Fund. Other securities bear interest at the rates shown, payable at fixed dates through maturity.

C. Senior loans in which the Fund invests generally pay interest 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 one-month or three-month 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 March 31, 2015.

D. 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 Fund actually take 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 Fund will generally purchase these securities with the intention of acquiring such securities, they may sell such securities before the settlement date.

value of the option written. When a written option expires, or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, it realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was sold).

H. 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. Interest income also includes paydown gains and losses on mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities and 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. 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.

J. Interest and dividend income, most expenses, all realized gains and losses, and all unrealized gains and losses are allocated to the classes based upon the value of the outstanding shares in each Class. Certain costs, such as distribution and service fees are charged directly to specific classes. In addition, certain expenses have been allocated to the individual Funds in the Trust on a pro rata basis upon the respective aggregate net assets of each Fund included in the Trust.

2. Financial Instruments

As part of its investment strategy, the Fund utilizes a variety of derivative instruments. These investments involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk and risks in excess of the amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

A swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to changes in specified prices or rates for a specified amount of an underlying asset. A Fund utilizing OTC swaps bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a swap agreement counterparty. For Funds utilizing interest rate swaps, the exchange bears the risk of loss. Additionally, there is no guarantee that a Fund or an underlying fund could eliminate its exposure under an outstanding swap agreement by entering into an offsetting swap agreement with the same or another party.

THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT | 47

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

In conjunction with the use of derivative instruments, the Fund is required to maintain collateral in various forms. The Fund uses, where appropriate, depending on the financial instrument utilized and the broker involved, margin deposits at the broker, cash and/or securities segregated at the custodian bank, discount notes or the repurchase agreements allocated to the Fund.

The Trust has established counterparty credit guidelines and enters into transactions only with financial institutions of investment grade or better. The Trust monitors the counterparty credit risk.

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Under the terms of an investment advisory contract, the Fund pays GI investment advisory fees calculated at an annualized rate of 0.50% of the average daily net assets of the Fund.

RFS provides transfer agent services to the Fund for fees calculated at the rates below which are assessed to the applicable class of the Fund. For these services, RFS receives the following:

Annual charge per account	$5.00 – $8.00
Transaction fee	$0.60 – $1.10

60 | THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(continued)

ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of a default (close-out netting) or similar event, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty.

For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Fund and the counterparty. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Fund and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as segregated cash with broker/receivable for variation margin, or payable for swap settlement/variation margin. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a counterparty must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g., $300,000) before a transfer is required to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. The Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that they believe to be of good standing and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The following tables present derivative financial instruments and secured financing transactions that are subject to enforceable netting arrangements and offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
