*    Incorporated by reference.

Item 29.Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with Registrant

The Board of Trustees of the Registrant is the same as the board of certain other registrants, each of which has Security Investors, LLC (“Security Investors”), Guggenheim Partners Investment Management, LLC (“GPIM”), or an affiliate of Security Investors or GPIM, as its investment adviser. In addition, the officers of the Registrant are substantially identical to those of the other registrants. Nonetheless, the Registrant takes the position that it is not under common control with the other registrants because the power residing in the respective boards and officers arises as the result of an official position with the respective registrants.

The Trust through Guggenheim Macro Opportunities Fund, a separate series of the Trust, wholly owns and controls the Guggenheim Macro Opportunities Fund CFC ("Subsidiary"), a company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The Subsidiary's financial statements will be included, on a consolidated basis, in the Fund’s annual and semi-annual reports to shareholders.

Item 30.Indemnification

Article VII, Section III of the Registrant’s Declaration of Trust, which is filed hereunder, provides for indemnification of the Trustees, officers, employees and other agents of the Registrant who are parties pursuant to any proceeding by reason of their actions performed in their scope of service on behalf of the Trust.

A policy of insurance covering Security Investors, LLC, Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC, Rydex Funds Services, the Registrant and certain other registrants advised by Security Investors, GPIM, or an affiliate of Security Investors or GPIM insures the Registrant’s trustees and officers against liability arising by reason of an alleged breach of duty caused by any negligent act, error or accidental omission in the scope of their duties. The independent trustees are also covered under a joint independent directors liability (“DL”) insurance policy that covers the independent trustees of the other registrants.

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such trustee, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 31.Business or Other Connections of Investment Adviser

StylePlus-Large Core Fund, Guggenheim StylePlus-Mid Growth Fund and Guggenheim World Equity Income Fund. Security Investors is primarily engaged in the provision of investment advisory and management services to mutual funds and private accounts. The directors and officers of Security Investors consist primarily of persons who during the past two years have been active in the investment management business. To the knowledge of the Registrant, except as set forth below, as applicable, none of the directors or executive officers of Security Investors is or has been engaged in any other business, profession, vocation or employment of a substantial nature during the past two fiscal years. Information as to the executive officers and directors of Security Investors is included in its Form ADV as filed with the SEC (File No. 801-8008) pursuant to the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.

To the knowledge of the Registrant, except as set forth below, as applicable, none of the directors or executive officers of GPIM is or has been at any time during the past two fiscal years engaged in any other business, profession, vocation or employment of a substantial nature. Information as to the executive officers and directors of GPIM is included in its Form ADV as filed with the SEC (File No. 801-66786) pursuant to the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.
