Guggenheim Alpha Opportunity Fund

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

The Guggenheim Alpha Opportunity Fund (the "Fund") seeks long-term growth of capital.

FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE FUND

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. You may qualify for sales charge discounts if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $100,000 in the Family of Funds, as defined on page 142 of the Fund’s prospectus. This amount may vary depending on the Guggenheim Fund in which you invest. More information about these and other discounts is available from your financial professional and in the “Sales Charges-Class A Shares” section on page 95 of the Fund’s prospectus and the “How to Purchase Shares” section on page 76 of the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information. Different intermediaries and financial professionals may impose different sales charges or offer different sales charge waivers or discounts. These variations are described in Appendix A to the Fund’s prospectus (Intermediary-Specific Sales Charge Waivers and Discounts).



	Class A	Class C	Institutional Class	Class P
SHAREHOLDER FEES (fees paid directly from your investment)
Maximum Sales Charge (Load) Imposed on Purchases (as a percentage of offering price)	4.75%	None	None	None
Maximum Deferred Sales Charge (Load) (as a percentage of original purchase price or redemption proceeds, whichever is lower)	None	1.00%	None	None



ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)
Management Fees¹	0.90%	0.90%	0.90%	0.90%
Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees	0.25%	1.00%	None	0.25%

EXAMPLE

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although the actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:



	Class A	Class C		Institutional	Class P
	Class A	Redeemed	Not Redeemed	Institutional	Class P
1 Year	$665	$375	$275	$122	$153
3 Years	$1,064	$844	$844	$381	$474
5 Years	$1,487	$1,440	$1,440	$660	$818
10 Years	$2,662	$3,051	$3,051	$1,455	$1,791

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 173% of the average value of its portfolio.

1 | PROSPECTUS

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

The Fund pursues its objective by investing, under normal market conditions, in long and short positions of domestic equity and equity-related securities (including swaps and other derivative investments giving long or short exposure to domestic equity securities).

The Investment Manager uses a proprietary evaluation process to generate an expected return for individual stocks that considers market risk factors generally and risks specific to the companies in which the Fund invests. Market risk factors include, among other factors, company size, enterprise value, and sector. The Investment Manager seeks to construct portfolios of equity-related investments that maintain long positions in instruments that provide exposure to risk factors that the Investment Manager considers to be undervalued by the equity markets and sells short instruments that provide exposure to risk factors that the Investment Manager considers to be overvalued by the equity markets. The process uses fundamentally-based, forward-looking forecasts of equity cash flows to generate return expectations for individual stocks. Then, the expected returns for the universe of stocks is further evaluated using quantitative techniques to estimate the market’s implied valuation of broad market risk factors as well as the company-specific risks. Finally, a portfolio is constructed within guidelines that buys long the stocks (or derivatives that give exposure to stocks) that give the portfolio both the broad risk characteristics and company-specific risks that are perceived to be undervalued and sells short stocks (or derivatives that give exposure to stocks) for which those characteristics are perceived to be overpriced. “Alpha” in the Fund’s name refers to the potential for the Fund’s portfolio to achieve returns that are favorable relative to the amount of risk taken. Of course, there is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its objective of long-term growth of capital, and an investment in the Fund involves significant risk.

The Fund will ordinarily hold simultaneous long and short positions in equity securities or securities markets that provide exposure up to a level equal to 150% of the Fund’s net assets for both the long and short positions. That level of exposure is obtained through derivatives, including swap agreements. The Investment Manager intends to maintain a low overall net exposure (the difference between the notional value of long positions and the notional value of short positions) for the portfolio, typically varying between 50% net long and 30% net short to seek to maintain low correlation to traditional equity markets, lower than market volatility and seek to provide consistent absolute return. The overall net exposure will change as market opportunities change, and may, based on the Investment Manager’s view of current market conditions, be outside this range.

The Fund may invest in domestic equity securities, including small-, mid-, and large-capitalization securities. The Fund also may invest in derivative instruments, including swaps on selected baskets of equity securities, to enable the Fund to pursue its investment objective without investing directly in the securities of companies to which the Fund is seeking exposure. The Fund may also invest in derivatives, such as options and futures contracts, to hedge or gain leveraged exposure to a particular sector, industry, market risk factor, or company depending on market conditions. The Fund will often invest in instruments traded in the over the-counter (“OTC”) market, which generally provides for less transparency than exchange-traded instruments. The Fund also may enter into long positions or short sales of broad-based stock indices for hedging purposes in an effort to reduce the Fund’s risk or volatility through, among other instruments, exchange-traded funds and closed-end funds. The use of derivatives may create a leveraging effect on the Fund which will force the Fund to take offsetting positions or earmark or segregate assets used as collateral. The Fund actively trades its investments, which can result in significant fluctuations in the Fund's portfolio turnover rate.

While the Fund anticipates investing in these securities and instruments to seek to achieve its investment objective, the extent of the Fund’s investment in these securities and instruments may vary from day-to-day depending on a number of different factors, including price, availability, and general market conditions. On a day-to-day basis, the Fund may hold U.S. government securities, short-term, high quality (rated AA or higher) fixed-income instruments, money market instruments, overnight and fixed-term repurchase agreements, cash and other cash equivalents with maturities of one year or less to collateralize its derivative positions. The Fund also may enter into repurchase agreements with counterparties that are deemed to present acceptable credit risks.

Under adverse, unstable or abnormal market conditions, the Fund could invest some or all of its assets in cash, derivatives, fixed-income instruments, government bonds, money market instruments, repurchase agreements or securities of other investment companies. The Fund may be unable to pursue or achieve its investment objective during that time and temporary investments could reduce the benefit from any upswing in the market.

PRINCIPAL RISKS

PROSPECTUS | 2

governmental agency. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are summarized below.

Counterparty Credit Risk—The Fund makes investments in financial instruments and over-the-counter ("OTC")-traded derivatives involving counterparties to gain exposure to a particular group of securities, index, asset class or other reference asset without actually purchasing those securities or investments, or to hedge a position. Through these investments, the Fund is exposed to credit risks that the counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its contractual obligations. If the counterparty becomes bankrupt or defaults on (or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling to perform) its payment obligations to the Fund, the Fund may not receive the full amount that it is entitled to receive or may experience delays in recovering the collateral held by, or on behalf of, the counterparty. If this occurs, the value of your shares in the Fund will decrease.

Credit Risk—The Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed-income instrument or a counterparty to a derivatives transaction or other transaction is unable or unwilling, or perceived to be unable or unwilling, to pay interest or repay principal on time or defaults. The issuer, guarantor or counterparty could also suffer a rapid decrease in credit quality rating, which would adversely affect the volatility of the value and liquidity of the instrument. Credit ratings may not be an accurate assessment of liquidity or credit risk.

Derivatives Risk—Derivatives may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other investments, including risks relating to leverage, imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, high price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty credit, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions. Their use is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The Fund’s use of derivatives to obtain short exposure may result in greater volatility of the Fund's net asset value per share. If the Investment Manager is incorrect about its expectations of market conditions, the use of derivatives could also result in a loss, which in some cases may be unlimited. In addition, the Fund’s use of derivatives may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of short term capital gains (generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates) than if the Fund had not used such instruments. Some of the derivatives in which the Fund invests may be traded (and privately negotiated) in the OTC market. OTC derivatives are subject to heightened credit, liquidity and valuation risks. Certain risks also are specific to the derivatives in which the Fund invests.

Swap Agreements Risk—Swap agreements are contracts among the Fund and a counterparty to exchange the return of the pre-determined underlying investment (such as the rate of return of the underlying index). Swap agreements may be negotiated bilaterally and traded OTC between two parties or, in some instances, must be transacted through a futures commission merchant and cleared through a clearinghouse that serves as a central counterparty. Risks associated with the use of swap agreements are different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions, due in part to the fact they could be considered illiquid and many swaps trade on the OTC market. Swaps are particularly subject to counterparty credit, correlation, valuation, liquidity and leveraging risks. Certain standardized swaps are subject to mandatory exchange trading and central clearing. Exchange trading and central clearing are intended to reduce counterparty credit risk and increase liquidity but do not make swap transactions risk-free. Additionally, applicable regulators have adopted rules imposing certain margin requirements, including minimums, on OTC swaps, which may result in the Fund and its counterparties posting higher margin amounts for OTC swaps.

Futures Contracts Risk—Futures contracts are exchange-traded contracts that call for the future delivery of an asset at a certain price and date, or cash settlement of the terms of the contract. Risks of futures contracts may be caused by an imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the instruments and the price of the underlying securities. In addition, there is the risk that the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market. Exchanges can limit the number of positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or its Investment Manager, thus limiting the ability to implement the Fund’s strategies. Futures markets are highly volatile and the use of futures may increase the volatility of the Fund’s NAV. Futures are also subject to leverage risks and to liquidity risk.

Options Risk—Options or options on futures contracts give the holder of the option the right, but not the obligation, to buy (or to sell) a position in a security or in a contract to the writer of the option, at a certain price. They are subject to correlation risk because there may be an imperfect correlation between the options and the securities markets that cause a given transaction to fail to achieve its objectives. The successful use of options depends on the Investment Manager’s ability to predict correctly future price fluctuations and the degree of correlation between the options and securities markets. Exchanges can limit the number of positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or its Investment Manager, thus limiting the ability to implement the Fund’s strategies. Options are also particularly subject to leverage risk and can be subject to liquidity risk.

3 | PROSPECTUS

Equity Securities Risk—Equity securities include common stocks and other equity and equity-related securities (and securities convertible into stocks). The prices of equity securities generally fluctuate in value more than fixed-income investments, may rise or fall rapidly or unpredictably and may reflect real or perceived changes in the issuing company’s financial condition and changes in the overall market or economy. A decline in the value of equity securities held by the Fund will adversely affect the value of your investment in the Fund. Common stocks generally represent the riskiest investment in a company and dividend payments (if declared) to preferred stockholders generally rank junior to payments due to a company’s debtholders. The Fund may lose a substantial part, or even all, of its investment in a company’s stock.

Interest Rate Risk—Investments in fixed-income instruments are subject to the possibility that interest rates could rise sharply, causing the value of the Fund’s holdings and share price to decline. The risks associated with rising interest rates are heightened given the near historically low interest rate environment as of the date of this prospectus. Interest rates may continue to rise in the future, possibly suddenly and significantly, with unpredictable effects on the financial markets and the Fund’s investments. Fixed-income instruments with longer durations are subject to more volatility than those with shorter durations.

Investments by Investing Funds and Other Large Shareholders—The Fund is subject to the risk that a large investor, including certain other investment companies, purchases or redeems a large percentage of Fund shares at any time. As a result, the Fund's performance or liquidity may be adversely affected as the Fund tends to hold a large proportion of its assets in cash and may have to sell investments at disadvantageous times or prices to meet large redemption requests.

Investment in Investment Vehicles Risk—Investing in other investment vehicles, including exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), closed-end funds and other mutual funds, subjects the Fund to those risks affecting the investment vehicle, including the possibility that the value of the underlying securities held by the investment vehicle could decrease or the portfolio becomes illiquid. Moreover, the Fund and its shareholders will incur its pro rata share of the underlying vehicles’ expenses, which will reduce the Fund’s performance. In addition, investments in an ETF are subject to, among other risks, the risk that the ETF's shares may trade at a discount or premium relative to the net asset value of the shares and the listing exchange may halt trading of the ETF's shares.

Large-Capitalization Securities Risk—The Fund is subject to the risk that large-capitalization securities may underperform other segments of the equity market or the equity market as a whole. Larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges such as changes in technology and may not be able to attain the high growth rate of smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.

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

Liquidity and Valuation Risk—It may be difficult for the Fund to purchase and sell particular investments within a reasonable time at a fair price, or the price at which it has been valued by the Investment Manager for purposes of the Fund’s net asset value, causing the Fund to be less liquid and unable to realize what the Investment Manager believes should be the price of the investment. Valuation of portfolio investments may be difficult, such as during periods of market turmoil or reduced liquidity, and for investments that may, for example, trade infrequently or irregularly. In these and other circumstances, an investment may be valued using fair value methodologies, which are inherently subjective, reflect good faith judgments based on available information and may not accurately estimate the price at which the Fund could sell the investment at that time. These risks may be heightened for fixed-income instruments because of the near historically low interest rate environment as of the date of this prospectus.

Management Risk—The Fund is actively managed, which means that investment decisions are made based on investment views. There is no guarantee that the investment views will produce the desired results or expected returns, causing the Fund to fail to meet its investment objective or underperform its benchmark index or funds with similar investment objectives and strategies. Furthermore, active and frequent trading that can accompany active management, also called “high turnover,” may have a negative impact on performance. Active and frequent trading may result in higher brokerage costs or mark-up charges, which are ultimately passed on to shareholders of the Fund. Active and frequent trading may also result in adverse tax consequences.

Market Risk—The value of, or income generated by, the securities held by the Fund may fluctuate rapidly and unpredictably as a result of factors affecting individual companies or changing economic, political, social or financial market conditions throughout the world. The performance of these investments may underperform the general securities markets or other types of securities.

PROSPECTUS | 4

be more speculative, volatile and less liquid than securities of large companies. Mid-capitalization companies tend to have inexperienced management as well as limited product and market diversification and financial resources, and may be more vulnerable to adverse developments than large capitalization companies.

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

Short Sale and Short Exposure Risk—Short selling a security involves selling a borrowed security with the expectation that the value of that security will decline, so that the security may be purchased at a lower price when returning the borrowed security. A short exposure through a derivative exposes the Fund to counterparty credit risk and leverage risk. The risk for loss on a short sale or other short exposure is greater than a direct investment in the security itself because the price of the borrowed security may rise, thereby increasing the price at which the security must be purchased. The risk of loss through a short sale or other short exposure may in some cases be theoretically unlimited. Government actions also may affect the Fund’s ability to engage in short selling.

Small-Capitalization Securities Risk—The Fund is subject to the risk that small-capitalization securities may underperform other segments of the equity market or the equity market as a whole. Securities of small-capitalization companies may be more speculative, volatile and less liquid than securities of larger companies. Small-capitalization companies tend to have inexperienced management as well as limited product and market diversification and financial resources, and may be more vulnerable to adverse developments than mid- or large- capitalization companies.

U.S. Government Securities Risk—U.S. government securities may or may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. U.S. government securities are subject to the risks associated with fixed-income and debt securities, particularly interest rate risk and credit risk.

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

The following chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing the Fund’s Class A share calendar year performance from year to year and average annual returns for one, five and ten year and since inception periods, as applicable, for the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Institutional Class, and Class P shares compared to those of a broad measure of market performance. The Fund has selected the ICE BofAML 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index as its primary benchmark index as a replacement for the S&P 500 Index, effective March 13, 2017. The Fund selected the ICE BofAML 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index as its primary benchmark index because it believes that this index is more reflective of its investment style. The information also shows how the Fund’s performance compares with the returns of a Morningstar category average consistent with the Fund’s investment strategy. As with all mutual funds, past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available on the Fund’s website at www.guggenheiminvestments.com or by calling 800.820.0888.

The bar chart does not reflect the impact of the sales charge applicable to Class A shares which, if reflected, would lower the returns shown.

Important Note: Effective January 28, 2015, significant changes to the Fund’s principal investment strategies and portfolio managers were made. In connection with these changes, the Fund also added a second benchmark, the Morningstar Long/Short Equity Category Average. Please note that the Fund’s performance track record prior to January 28, 2015 related only to the Fund’s former investments, which were materially different from those currently pursued by the Fund, and is not indicative of the Fund’s future performance.

PURCHASE AND SALE OF FUND SHARES

You may purchase or redeem Fund shares through your broker/dealer, other financial intermediary that has an agreement with Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC, the Fund’s distributor, or, for shares of each class other than Class P shares, through the Fund’s transfer agent. You may purchase, redeem or exchange shares of any class of the Fund on any day the New York Stock Exchange is open for business. The minimum initial investment for Class A and Class C shares is $2,500. The minimum subsequent investment is $100. Class A and Class C do not have a minimum account balance.

The Institutional Class minimum initial investment is $2 million, although the Investment Manager may waive this requirement at its discretion. The Institutional Class has a minimum account balance of $1 million. Due to the relatively high cost of maintaining accounts below the minimum account balance, the Fund reserves the right to redeem shares if an account balance falls below the minimum account balance for any reason. Investors will be given 60 days' notice to reestablish the minimum account balance. If the account balance is not increased, the account may be closed and the proceeds sent to the investor. Institutional Class shares of the Fund will be redeemed at net asset value on the day the account is closed.

Class P shares of the Fund are offered through broker/dealers and other financial intermediaries with which Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC has an agreement for the use of Class P shares of the Fund in investment products, programs or accounts. Class P shares do not have a minimum initial investment amount, subsequent investment amount or a minimum account balance. The Fund reserves the right to modify its minimum investment amount and account balance requirements at any time, with or without prior notice to you.

TAX INFORMATION

Fund distributions are taxable as ordinary income or capital gains (or a combination of both), unless your investment is through an IRA or other tax-advantaged retirement account. Investments through tax-advantaged accounts may sometimes become taxable upon withdrawal.

PAYMENTS TO BROKER/DEALERS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES

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

Security Investors, LLC, also known as Guggenheim Investments (the "Investment Manager")has contractually agreed through February 1, 2019 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit the ordinary operating expenses (including distribution (12b-1) fees (if any), but exclusive of brokerage costs, dividends on securities sold short, acquired fund fees and expenses, interest, taxes, litigation, indemnification, and extraordinary expenses) (“Operating Expenses”) of the Fund to the annual percentage of average daily net assets for each class of shares as follows: Class A-1.15%, Class C-1.90%, Institutional Class-0.90%, and Class P-1.15%. The Investment Manager is entitled to reimbursement by the Fund of fees waived or expenses reimbursed during any of the previous 36 months beginning on the date of the expense limitation agreement, provided that the Operating Expenses do not exceed the then-applicable expense cap. The agreement will expire when it reaches its termination or when the Investment Manager ceases to serve as such and it can be terminated by the Fund’s Board of Trustees, with certain waived fees and reimbursed expenses subject to the recoupment rights of the Investment Manager.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

The Fund pursues its objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets (net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities, which include common stocks, rights, options, warrants, convertible debt securities of both U.S. and U.S. dollar-denominated foreign issuers, and American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), of companies that, when purchased, have market capitalizations that are usually within the range of companies in the Russell 1000 Value Index. Although a universal definition of large market capitalization companies does not exist, the Fund generally defines large market capitalization companies as those whose market capitalization is similar to the market capitalization of companies in the Russell 1000 Value Index, which is an unmanaged index measuring the performance of the large cap value segment of the U.S. equity universe and which includes companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower expected growth values. As of December 31, 2017, the Russell 1000 Value Index consisted of securities of companies with market capitalizations that ranged from $653.7 million to $489.0 billion.

In choosing securities, Security Investors, LLC, also known as Guggenheim Investments (the “Investment Manager”), primarily invests in value-oriented companies. Value-oriented companies are companies that appear to be undervalued relative to assets, earnings, growth potential or cash flows. The Investment Manager uses a blend of quantitative and fundamental analysis to identify securities that appear favorably priced and have the potential to appreciate in value. The Investment Manager regularly evaluates the metrics and data underlying the quantitative model and, from time to time, may make adjustments for a variety of reasons, including, without limitation, to account for changing market, financial or economic conditions. The Fund may, consistent with its status as a non-diversified mutual fund, focus its investments in a limited number of issuers.

The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in derivatives, including options and futures contracts. These instruments are used to hedge the Fund’s portfolio, to maintain exposure to the equity markets, or to increase returns. The Fund may invest in a variety of investment vehicles, including those that seek to track the composition and performance of a specific index, such as exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and other mutual funds. The Fund may use these investments as a way of managing its cash position or to gain exposure to the equity markets or a particular sector of the equity markets. These investments may be more liquid than investing directly in individual issuers.

The Fund typically sells a security when its issuer is no longer considered a value company, shows deteriorating fundamentals or falls short of the Investment Manager’s expectations, among other reasons.

The Fund may invest in a limited number of industries or industry sectors, including the technology and financial sectors.

PRINCIPAL RISKS

The value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate and is subject to investment risks, which means investors could lose money. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any governmental agency. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are summarized below.

Convertible Securities Risk—Convertible securities may be subordinate to other securities. The total return for a convertible security depends, in part, upon the performance of the underlying security into which it can be converted. The value of convertible securities tends to decline as interest rates increase. Convertible securities generally offer lower interest or dividend yields than non-convertible securities of similar quality.

9 | PROSPECTUS

reference asset without actually purchasing those securities or investments, or to hedge a position. Through these investments, the Fund is exposed to credit risks that the counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its contractual obligations. If the counterparty becomes bankrupt or defaults on (or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling to perform) its payment obligations to the Fund, the Fund may not receive the full amount that it is entitled to receive or may experience delays in recovering the collateral held by, or on behalf of, the counterparty. If this occurs, the value of your shares in the Fund will decrease.

Depositary Receipt Risk—The Fund may hold the securities of non-U.S. companies in the form of depositary receipts. The underlying securities of the depositary receipts in the Fund’s portfolio are subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates that may affect the value of the Fund’s portfolio. In addition, the value of the securities underlying the depositary receipts may change materially when the U.S. markets are not open for trading. Investments in the underlying foreign securities also involve political and economic risks distinct from those associated with investing in the securities of U.S. issuers.

Derivatives Risk—Derivatives may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other investments, including risks relating to leverage, imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, high price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty credit, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions. Their use is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The use of derivatives may result in leverage, which may cause the Fund to be more volatile and riskier than if it had not been leveraged. If the Investment Manager is incorrect about its expectations of market conditions, the use of derivatives could also result in a loss, which in some cases may be unlimited. In addition, the Fund’s use of derivatives may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of short term capital gains (generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates) than if the Fund had not used such instruments.

PROSPECTUS | 10

Non-Diversification Risk—The Fund is considered non-diversified because it may invest a large portion of its assets in a small number of issuers. As a result, the Fund is more susceptible to risks associated with those issuers and the Fund may experience greater losses and volatility than a more diversified portfolio.

Quantitative Model Risk—There is no guarantee that a quantitative model or algorithm used by the Investment Manager, and the investments selected based on the model or algorithm, will produce the desired results. The Fund may be adversely affected by imperfections, errors or limitations in the construction and implementation of the model or algorithm and the Investment Manager’s ability to properly analyze or timely adjust the metrics or update the data underlying the model or features of the algorithm.

Sector Emphasis Risk-Technology Stocks Risk—Stocks of companies involved in the technology sector, including information technology companies, may be very volatile. The Fund may be adversely affected by events or developments negatively impacting the technology sector or issuers within the technology sector.

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

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

The Fund will employ a fundamental long-short real estate strategy that seeks to neutralize exposure to general stock market risk and volatility by taking both long and short positions in real estate investments. The Fund’s investment approach seeks to provide positive returns that are neutral with regard to general stock market risk and volatility, but the Fund’s returns may be negative during certain periods.

The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets (net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in: (i) long and short equity securities of issuers primarily engaged in the real estate industry, such as real estate investment trusts (“REITs”); and (ii) equity-like securities, including individual securities, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and derivatives, giving long and short exposure to (i.e., economic characteristics similar to) issuers primarily engaged in the real estate industry.

The Fund will consider an issuer to be primarily engaged in the real estate industry if: (i) at least 50% of its assets, income, sales or profits are committed to, or derived from, the ownership, construction, management, financing, leasing, brokering, or sale of residential, or commercial real estate, or the provision of products and services related to the real estate industry, such as building supply manufacturers, mortgage lenders, or mortgage servicing companies or (ii) a widely recognized industry classification system provider has given the company an industry or sector classification consistent with the real estate industry.

Equity securities in which the Fund may invest include common stocks, REITs and other investment vehicles primarily engaged in the real estate industry, ETFs, and American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"). The Fund may also invest in exchange-traded notes ("ETNs") giving exposure to real estate markets. The Fund may take a long position by buying a security that Guggenheim Partners Investment Management, LLC, also known as Guggenheim Investments (the “Investment Manager”), believes will appreciate, or it may sell a security short by first borrowing it from a third party with the intention to sell it later at a market price. The Fund will usually obtain exposure to short positions by entering into derivative instruments. Short positions may be used either to hedge long positions or to seek positive returns where the Investment Manager believes the security will depreciate.

The Investment Manager will make investment decisions based primarily on a relative value fundamental framework. These investment decisions will be guided by a top-down approach to allocating the Fund’s assets among geographic regions and property sectors. The Investment Manager will then select individual securities using a bottom-up approach, focused primarily on a relative value-oriented process that reflects the macro-level investment themes and a due diligence process that includes, among other analytical components, an assessment of issuer-specific factors such as management acumen and strategic direction.

The Fund may dynamically adjust its level of long and short exposure to the real estate markets over time based on macroeconomic, industry-specific, and other factors. The Fund pursues a strategy commonly referred to as “market neutral” because it is intended to maintain long and short positions that offset one another. As a result, the Fund’s net market exposure will normally approximate zero. The Fund’s long-short strategy is designed to reduce the Fund’s overall exposure to general stock market movements and produce returns that are uncorrelated to the general stock market. The Fund may reinvest the proceeds of its short sales by taking additional long positions.

PROSPECTUS | 15

derivatives. The derivatives in which the Fund invests include, among other derivatives, swap agreements; options on securities, futures contracts, and stock indices; and stock index futures contracts (some of these instruments may be traded in the over-the-counter market). These investments will be used to obtain the Fund's short exposure and may also be used to hedge the Fund’s portfolio, to maintain long exposure to the equity markets, to increase returns, to generate income, or to seek to manage volatility of the portfolio.

The Fund may also invest a substantial portion of its assets, including proceeds of its short sales, in investment companies advised by the Investment Manager, or an affiliate of the Investment Manager, that invest in short-term fixed-income or floating rate securities. These funds are designed primarily to provide an alternative to investing directly in various short-term fixed-income or floating rate securities. Investments by the Fund in these investment companies may increase the Fund’s exposure to asset categories in which each underlying fund may invest as a principal investment and certain other asset categories, including high yield, high risk debt securities rated below the top four long-term rating categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or, if unrated, determined by the Investment Manager, to be of comparable quality (also known as “junk bonds”), asset-backed securities (“ABS”) and commercial paper and other short-term fixed-income or floating rate securities. Such investments will expose the Fund to the risks of these asset categories.

While the Fund will principally invest in securities listed, traded or dealt in the United States, it may also invest without limitation in securities listed, traded or dealt in other countries, including emerging markets countries. Such securities may be denominated in foreign currencies.

The Fund is non-diversified and, therefore, may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer in comparison to a diversified fund.

The Fund will concentrate its investments in the real estate industry (i.e., invest more than 25% of its total assets in securities of issuers considered to be primarily engaged in the real estate industry).

PRINCIPAL RISKS

Asset-Backed Securities Risk—Investors in asset-backed securities, including residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities and other structured finance investments, generally receive payments that are part interest and part return of principal. These payments may vary based on the rate at which the underlying borrowers pay off their loans. Some asset-backed securities, including mortgage-backed securities, may have structures that make their reaction to interest rates and other factors difficult to predict, making their prices very volatile and they are particularly subject to credit, liquidity and valuation risks.

Collateralized Loan Obligations and Collateralized Debt Obligations Risk—Collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) bear many of the same risks as other forms of asset-backed securities, including interest rate risk, credit risk and default risk. As they are backed by pools of loans, CLOs also bear similar risks to investing in loans directly. CLOs issue classes or “tranches” that vary in risk and yield. CLOs may experience substantial losses attributable to loan defaults. Losses caused by defaults on underlying assets are borne first by the holders of subordinate tranches. The Fund’s investment in CLOs may decrease in market value when the CLO experiences loan defaults or credit impairment, the disappearance of a subordinate tranche, or market anticipation of defaults and investor aversion to CLO securities as a class.

Collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”) are structured similarly to CLOs and bear the same risks as CLOs including interest rate risk, credit risk and default risk. CDOs are subject to additional risks because they are backed by pools of assets other than loans including securities (such as other asset-backed securities), synthetic instruments or bonds and may be highly leveraged. Like CLOs, losses incurred by a CDO are borne first by holders of subordinate tranches. Accordingly, the risks of CDOs depend largely on the type of underlying collateral and the tranche of CDOs in which the Fund invests. For example, CDOs that obtain their exposure through synthetic investments entail the risks associated with derivative instruments.

PROSPECTUS | 16

to changes in the issuer’s financial condition or credit quality. Investments in commercial paper are usually discounted from their value at maturity. Commercial paper can be fixed-rate or variable rate and can be adversely affected by changes in interest rates.

Concentration Risk—Real estate companies may lack diversification due to ownership of a limited number of properties and concentration in a particular geographic region or property type. By concentrating in the real estate industry, the Fund is subject to the risks specifically affecting that industry more than a fund that invests across a variety of industries.

Derivatives Risk—Derivatives may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other investments, including risks relating to leverage, imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, high price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty credit, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions. Their use is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The Fund's use of derivatives to obtain short exposure may result in greater volatility of the Fund's net asset value per share. If the Investment Manager is incorrect about its expectations of market conditions, the use of derivatives could also result in a loss, which in some cases may be unlimited. In addition, the Fund’s use of derivatives may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of short term capital gains (generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates) than if the Fund had not used such instruments. Some of the derivatives in which the Fund invests may be traded (and privately negotiated) in the OTC market. OTC derivatives are subject to heightened credit, liquidity and valuation risks. Certain risks also are specific to the derivatives in which the Fund invests.

PROSPECTUS | 17

and the securities markets that cause a given transaction to fail to achieve its objectives. The successful use of options depends on the Investment Manager’s ability to predict correctly future price fluctuations and the degree of correlation between the options and securities markets. Exchanges can limit the number of positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or its Investment Manager, thus limiting the ability to implement the Fund’s strategies. Options are also particularly subject to leverage risk and can be subject to liquidity risk.

Emerging Markets Risk—Investments in or exposure to emerging markets are generally subject to a greater level of those risks associated with investing in or being exposed to developed foreign markets, as emerging markets are considered to be less developed than developing countries. Furthermore, investments in or exposure to emerging markets are generally subject to additional risks, including the risks associated with trading in smaller markets, lower volumes of trading, and being subject to lower levels of government regulation and less extensive accounting, financial and other reporting requirements.

Exchange-Traded Notes Risk—The value of an ETN may be influenced by time to maturity, level of supply and demand for the ETN, volatility and lack of liquidity in underlying investments, changes in the applicable interest rates, changes in the issuer’s credit rating and economic, legal, political or geographic events that affect the referenced investments. The Fund’s decision to sell its ETN holdings may also be limited by the availability of a secondary market. If the Fund must sell some or all of its ETN holdings and the secondary market is weak, it may have to sell such holdings at a discount. ETNs also are subject to counterparty credit risk (which includes the risk that the issuer may fail).

Foreign Securities and Currency Risk—Foreign securities carry unique or additional risks when compared to U.S. securities, including currency fluctuations, adverse political and economic developments, unreliable or untimely information, less liquidity and more volatility, limited legal recourse and higher transactional costs. The Fund may hold the securities of non-U.S. companies in the form of ADRs. The underlying securities of the ADRs in the Fund’s portfolio are subject to risks common to foreign securities as well as fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates that may affect the value of the Fund’s portfolio. In addition, the value of the securities underlying the ADRs may change materially when the U.S. markets are not open for trading.

High Yield and Unrated Securities Risk—High yield, below investment grade and unrated high risk debt securities (which also may be known as "junk bonds") may present additional risks because these securities may be less liquid, and therefore more difficult to value accurately and sell at an advantageous price or time, and present more credit risk than investment grade bonds. The price of high yield securities tends to be subject to greater volatility due to issuer-specific operating results and outlook and to real or perceived adverse economic and competitive industry conditions. This exposure may be obtained through investments in other investment companies.

Investment in Investment Vehicles Risk—Investing in other investment vehicles, including exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), closed-end funds and other mutual funds, subjects the Fund to those risks affecting the investment vehicle, including the possibility that the value of the underlying securities held by the investment vehicle could decrease or the portfolio becomes illiquid. Moreover, the Fund and its shareholders will incur its pro rata share of the underlying vehicles’ expenses, which will reduce the Fund's performance. In addition, investments in an ETF are subject to, among other risks, the risk that the ETF's shares may trade at a discount or premium relative to the net asset value of the shares and the listing exchange may halt trading of the ETF's shares.

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

PROSPECTUS | 18

the Fund’s net asset value, causing the Fund to be less liquid and unable to realize what the Investment Manager believes should be the price of the investment. Valuation of portfolio investments may be difficult, such as during periods of market turmoil or reduced liquidity, and for investments that may, for example, trade infrequently or irregularly. In these and other circumstances, an investment may be valued using fair value methodologies, which are inherently subjective, reflect good faith judgments based on available information and may not accurately estimate the price at which the Fund could sell the investment at that time. These risks may be heightened for fixed-income instruments because of the near historically low interest rate environment as of the date of this prospectus.

There is no guarantee that the Fund will be able to neutralize or limit exposure to general stock market risk. The Fund’s use of short sales in combination with its long positions in an attempt to limit direct market exposure and improve performance may be unsuccessful and may result in greater losses or lower positive returns than if the Fund held only long positions. During times when the overall market is performing strongly, the Fund may underperform the market because the Fund’s short positions may be more likely to lose money than during other market conditions.

Real Estate Investments Risk—The Fund may invest in securities of real estate companies and companies related to the real estate industry, which are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate. These risks include, among others: changes in national, state or local real estate conditions; obsolescence of properties; changes in the availability, cost and terms of mortgage funds; changes in the real estate values and interest rates; and the generation of sufficient income. Real estate companies tend to have micro-, small- or mid-capitalization, making their securities more volatile and less liquid than those of companies with larger-capitalizations. Real estate companies may use leverage (and some may be highly leveraged), which increases investment risk and the risks normally associated with debt financing and could adversely affect a real estate company’s operations and market value in periods of rising interest rates. These risks are especially applicable in conditions of declining real estate values, such as those experienced during 2007 through 2009.

REIT Risk—In addition to the risks pertaining to real estate investments more generally, REITs are subject to additional risks. The value of a REIT can depend on the structure of and cash flow generated by the REIT. REITs whose investments are concentrated in a limited number or type of properties, investments or narrow geographic area are subject to the risks affecting those properties or areas to a greater extent than a REIT with less concentrated investments. REITs are also subject to certain provisions under federal tax law. In addition, REITs may have expenses, including advisory and administration expenses, and the Fund and its shareholders will incur its pro rata share of the underlying expenses.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

The Fund pursues its objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets (net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in a diversified portfolio of equity securities, which include common stocks, rights, options, warrants, convertible debt securities, and American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), that, when purchased, have market capitalizations that are usually within the range of companies in the Russell 2500 Value Index. Although a universal definition of mid-capitalization companies does not exist, the Fund generally defines mid-capitalization companies as those whose market capitalization is similar to the market capitalization of companies in the Russell 2500 Value Index, which is an unmanaged index measuring the performance of securities of small-to-mid cap U.S. companies with greater-than-average value orientation. As of December 31, 2017, the Russell 2500 Value Index consisted of securities of companies with market capitalizations that ranged from $3.94 million to $28.4 billion.

The Fund may invest in a variety of investment vehicles, including those that seek to track the composition and performance of a specific index, such as exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and other mutual funds. The Fund may use these investments as a way of managing its cash position or to gain exposure to the equity markets or a particular sector of the equity markets. These investments may be more liquid than investing directly in individual issuers. Certain investment vehicles’ securities and other securities in which the Fund may invest are restricted securities (consisting of securities originally issued in reliance on Rule 144A and Regulation S securities), which may be illiquid.

The Fund may invest in a limited number of industries or industry sectors, including the technology and financial sectors.

PRINCIPAL RISKS

Counterparty Credit Risk—The Fund makes investments in financial instruments and over-the-counter-traded derivatives involving counterparties to gain exposure to a particular group of securities, index, asset class or other reference asset without actually purchasing those securities or investments, or to hedge a position. Through these investments, the Fund is exposed to credit risks that the counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its contractual obligations. If the counterparty becomes bankrupt or defaults on (or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling to perform) its payment obligations to the Fund, the Fund may not receive the full amount that it is entitled to receive or may experience delays in recovering the collateral held by, or on behalf of, the counterparty. If this occurs, the value of your shares in the Fund will decrease.

23 | PROSPECTUS

underlying the depositary receipts may change materially when the U.S. markets are not open for trading. Investments in the underlying foreign securities also involve political and economic risks distinct from those associated with investing in the securities of U.S. issuers.

Derivatives Risk—Derivatives may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other investments, including risks relating to leverage, imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, high price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty credit, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions. Their use is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The use of derivatives may result in leverage, which may cause the Fund to be more volatile and riskier than if it had not been leveraged. If the Investment Manager is incorrect about its expectations of market conditions, the use of derivatives could also result in a loss, which in some cases may be unlimited. In addition, the Fund’s use of derivatives may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of short term capital gains (generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates) than if the Fund had not used such instruments.

PROSPECTUS | 24

to have inexperienced management as well as limited product and market diversification and financial resources, and may be more vulnerable to adverse developments than large capitalization companies.

Quantitative Model Risk—There is no guarantee that a quantitative model or algorithm used by the Investment Manager, and the investments selected based on the model or algorithm, will produce the desired results. The Fund may be adversely affected by imperfections, errors or limitations in the construction and implementation of the model or algorithm and the Investment Manager’s ability to properly analyze or timely adjust the metrics or update the data underlying the model or features of the algorithm.

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

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

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets (net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in: (i) long and short equity securities of issuers primarily engaged in the real estate industry, such as real estate investment trusts (“REITs”); and (ii) equity-like securities, including individual securities, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and derivatives, giving exposure to (i.e., economic characteristics similar to) issuers primarily engaged in the real estate industry. The Fund seeks to manage investment risk by taking both long and short positions in real estate investments.

The Fund will consider an issuer to be primarily engaged in the real estate industry if: (i) at least 50% of its assets, income, sales or profits are committed to, or derived from, the ownership, construction, management, financing, leasing, brokering, or sale of residential or commercial real estate, or the provision of products and services related to the real estate industry, such as building supply manufacturers, mortgage lenders, or mortgage servicing companies or (ii) a widely recognized industry classification system provider has given the company an industry or sector classification consistent with the real estate industry.

Equity securities in which the Fund may invest include common stocks, REITs and other investment vehicles primarily engaged in the real estate industry, ETFs, exchange-traded notes (“ETNs”) giving exposure to real estate markets, and American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”). The Fund may take a long position by buying a security that Guggenheim Partners Investment Management, LLC, also known as Guggenheim Investments (the “Investment Manager”), believes will appreciate, or it may sell a security short by first borrowing it from a third party with the intention to sell it later at a market price. The Fund may also obtain exposure to long and short positions by entering into swap agreements. Short positions may be used either to hedge long positions or to seek positive returns where the Investment Manager believes the security will depreciate. The Fund may dynamically adjust its level of long and short exposure to the real estate markets over time based on macroeconomic, industry-specific, and other factors. However, the Investment Manager expects the Fund’s net exposure over time will be long biased. The Fund may reinvest the proceeds of its short sales by taking additional long positions, or it may use leverage to maintain long positions in excess of 100% of net assets.

To enhance the Fund’s exposure to real estate markets and to seek to increase the Fund’s returns, at the discretion of the Investment Manager, the Fund’s long and short positions in equities may be combined with investments in derivatives, which may include, among other derivatives: swap agreements (including, among other types of swaps, total return swaps); options on securities, futures contracts, and stock indices; and stock index futures contracts (some of these instruments may be traded in the over-the-counter market). These investments may be used to hedge the Fund’s portfolio, to maintain exposure to the equity markets, to increase returns, to generate income, or to seek to manage volatility of the portfolio. The Fund intends to borrow from banks to take larger positions and to seek an enhanced return.

The Fund is non-diversified and, therefore, may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer in comparison to a diversified fund.

PROSPECTUS | 33

PRINCIPAL RISKS

Derivatives Risk—Derivatives may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other investments, including risks relating to leverage, imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, high price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty credit, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions. Their use is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. If the Investment Manager is incorrect about its expectations of market conditions, the use of derivatives could also result in a loss, which in some cases may be unlimited. In addition, the Fund’s use of derivatives may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of short term capital gains (generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates) than if the Fund had not used such instruments. Some of the derivatives in which the Fund invests may be traded (and privately negotiated) in the OTC market. OTC derivatives are subject to heightened credit, liquidity and valuation risks. Certain risks also are specific to the derivatives in which the Fund invests.

PROSPECTUS | 34

of the underlying securities. In addition, there is the risk that the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market. Exchanges can limit the number of positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or its Investment Manager, thus limiting the ability to implement the Fund’s strategies. Futures markets are highly volatile and the use of futures may increase the volatility of the Fund’s NAV. Futures are also subject to leverage risks and to liquidity risk.

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

are inherently subjective, reflect good faith judgments based on available information and may not accurately estimate the price at which the Fund could sell the investment at that time. These risks may be heightened for fixed-income instruments because of the near historically low interest rate environment as of the date of this prospectus.

Short Sale Risk—Short selling a security involves selling a borrowed security with the expectation that the value of that security will decline so that the security may be purchased at a lower price when returning the borrowed security. The risk for loss on short selling is greater than the original value of the securities sold short because the price of the borrowed security may rise, thereby increasing the price at which the security must be purchased. Government actions also may affect the Fund’s ability to engage in short selling.

Although a universal definition of small-capitalization companies does not exist, the Fund generally defines small-capitalization companies as those whose market capitalization is similar to the market capitalization of companies in the Russell 2000 Value Index, which is an unmanaged index measuring the performance of the small cap value segment of the U.S. equity universe and which includes companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. As of December 31, 2017, the Russell 2000 Value Index consisted of securities of companies with market capitalizations that ranged from $3.94 million to $8.9 billion.

The Fund may actively trade its investments without regard to the length of time they have been owned by the Fund, which may result in higher portfolio turnover.

The Fund may invest in a limited number of industries or industry sectors, including the technology and financial sectors.

PRINCIPAL RISKS

Derivatives Risk—Derivatives may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other investments, including risks relating to leverage, imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, high price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty credit, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions. Their use is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. If the Investment Manager is incorrect about its expectations of market conditions, the use of derivatives could also result in a loss, which in some cases may be unlimited. In addition, the Fund’s use of derivatives may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of short term capital gains (generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates) than if the Fund had not used such instruments.

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

41 | PROSPECTUS

believes should be the price of the investment. Valuation of portfolio investments may be difficult, such as during periods of market turmoil or reduced liquidity, and for investments that may, for example, trade infrequently or irregularly. In these and other circumstances, an investment may be valued using fair value methodologies, which are inherently subjective, reflect good faith judgments based on available information and may not accurately estimate the price at which the Fund could sell the investment at that time. These risks may be heightened for fixed-income instruments because of the near historically low interest rate environment as of the date of this prospectus.

Quantitative Model Risk—There is no guarantee that a quantitative model or algorithm used by the Investment Manager, and the investments selected based on the model or algorithm, will produce the desired results. The Fund may be adversely affected by imperfections, errors or limitations in the construction and implementation of the model or algorithm and the Investment Manager’s ability to properly analyze or timely adjust the metrics or update the data underlying the model or features of the algorithm.

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

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

The Fund seeks to exceed the total return of the S&P 500 Index (the “Index”). The Fund pursues its objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets (net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in: (i) equity securities issued by companies that have market capitalizations within the range of companies in the Index; (ii) investment vehicles that provide exposure to companies that have market capitalizations within the range of companies in the Index; and (iii) equity derivatives that, when purchased, provide exposure to (i.e., economic characteristics similar to) equity securities of companies with market capitalizations usually within the range of companies in the Index and equity derivatives based on large-capitalization indices, including large-capitalization growth indices and large capitalization value indices deemed appropriate by Security Investors, LLC, also known as Guggenheim Investments (the “Investment Manager”). The Fund will usually also invest in fixed-income instruments and cash investments to collateralize derivatives positions and to increase investment return. As of December 31, 2017, the Index consisted of securities of companies with capitalizations that ranged from $3.4 billion to $867.5 billion.

Equity securities in which the Fund may invest include common stocks, rights and warrants, and American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”). Derivatives in which the Fund may invest include options, futures contracts, swap agreements (including, but not limited to, total return swap agreements), and forward contracts (some of these instruments may be traded in the over-the-counter market). Fixed-income securities and other securities in which the Fund may invest include debt securities selected from a variety of sectors and credit qualities (principally, investment grade), principally, corporate bonds, participations in and assignments of syndicated bank loans, asset-backed securities (including mortgage-backed securities, collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”), collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) and other structured finance investments), U.S. government and agency securities (including those not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government), mezzanine and preferred securities, commercial paper, zero-coupon bonds, non-registered or restricted securities (consisting of securities originally issued in reliance on Rule 144A and Regulation S), step-up securities (such as step-up bonds) and convertible securities that Guggenheim Investments believes offer attractive yield and/or capital appreciation potential. The Fund may invest in securities listed, traded or dealt in other countries. The Fund may hold securities of any duration or maturity. Fixed-income securities in which the Fund may invest may pay fixed or variable rates of interest. The Fund may invest in a variety of investment vehicles, principally closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and other mutual funds.

Allocation decisions within the asset categories are at the discretion of the Investment Manager and are based on the Investment Manager’s judgment of the current investment environment (including market volatility), the attractiveness of each asset category, the correlations among Index components, individual positions or each asset category, and expected returns. In selecting investments for the Fund, the Investment Manager uses quantitative analysis, credit research and due diligence on issuers, regions and sectors to select the Fund’s investments and other proprietary strategies to identify securities and other assets that, in combination, are expected to contribute to exceeding the total return of the Index. Derivative instruments may be used extensively by the Investment Manager to maintain exposure to the equity and fixed-income markets, to hedge the Fund’s portfolio, or to increase returns. The Investment Manager may determine to sell a security for several reasons including the following: (1) to meet redemption requests; (2) to close-out or unwind derivatives transactions; (3) to realize gains; or (4) if market conditions change.

The Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in investment companies advised by the Investment Manager, or an affiliate of the Investment Manager, that invest in short-term fixed-income or floating rate securities. These funds are designed primarily to provide an alternative to investing directly in various short-term fixed-income or floating rate securities. The Fund invests in these investment companies for various portfolio management purposes, including for cash management and liquidity management purposes and to seek to obtain exposure with a higher level of return on investments used to collateralize derivatives positions and achieve greater diversification and trading efficiency than would usually be experienced by investing directly and separately in fixed-income or floating rate securities. Investments by the Fund in these investment companies significantly increase the Fund’s exposure to the following asset categories: (i) a broad range of 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”) or, if unrated, determined by the Investment Manager, to be of comparable quality; (ii) CLOs, other asset-backed securities and

PROSPECTUS | 46

similarly structured debt investments; and (iii) other short-term fixed or floating rate debt securities. Such investments expose the Fund to the risks of these asset categories and decreases in the value of these investments may cause the Fund to deviate from its investment objective.

PRINCIPAL RISKS

Asset-Backed Securities Risk—Investors in asset-backed securities, including residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities and other structured finance investments, generally receive payments that are part interest and part return of principal. These payments may vary based on the rate at which the underlying borrowers pay off their loans. Some asset-backed securities, including mortgage-backed securities, may have structures that make their reaction to interest rates and other factors difficult to predict, causing their prices to be volatile. These instruments are particularly subject to interest rate, credit and liquidity and valuation risks.

Commercial Paper Risk—The value of the Fund’s investment in commercial paper, which is an unsecured promissory note that generally has a maturity date between one and 270 days and is issued by a U.S. or foreign entity, is susceptible to changes in the issuer’s financial condition or credit quality. Investments in commercial paper are usually discounted from their value at maturity. Commercial paper can be fixed-rate or variable rate and can be adversely affected by changes in interest rates.

47 | PROSPECTUS

in credit quality rating, which would adversely affect the volatility of the value and liquidity of the instrument. Credit ratings may not be an accurate assessment of liquidity or credit risk.

Derivatives Risk—Derivatives may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other investments, including risks relating to leverage, imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, high price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty credit, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions. Their use is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. If the Investment Manager is incorrect about its expectations of market conditions, the use of derivatives could also result in a loss, which in some cases may be unlimited. In addition, the Fund’s use of derivatives may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of short term capital gains (generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates) than if the Fund had not used such instruments. Some of the derivatives in which the Fund invests may be traded (and privately negotiated) in the OTC market. OTC derivatives are subject to heightened credit, liquidity and valuation risks. Certain risks also are specific to the derivatives in which the Fund invests.

PROSPECTUS | 48

Growth Stocks Risk—Growth stocks typically invest a high portion of their earnings back into their business and may lack the dividend yield that could cushion their decline in a market downturn. Growth stocks may be more volatile than other stocks because they are more sensitive to investor perceptions regarding the growth potential of the issuing company.

High Yield and Unrated Securities Risk—High yield, below investment grade and unrated high risk debt securities (which also may be known as “junk bonds”) may present additional risks because these securities may be less liquid, and therefore more difficult to value accurately and sell at an advantageous price or time, and present more credit risk than investment grade bonds. The price of high yield securities tends to be subject to greater volatility due to issuer-specific operating results and outlook and to real or perceived adverse economic and competitive industry conditions. This exposure may be obtained through investments in other investment companies.

Investment in Investment Vehicles Risk—Investing in other investment vehicles, including exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), closed-end funds, affiliated short-term funds and other mutual funds, subjects the Fund to those risks affecting the investment vehicle, including the possibility that the value of the underlying securities held by the investment vehicle could decrease or the portfolio becomes illiquid. Moreover, the Fund and its shareholders will incur its pro rata share of the underlying vehicles’ expenses, which will reduce the Fund’s performance. In addition, investments in an ETF are subject to, among other risks, the risk that the ETF's shares may trade at a discount or premium relative to the net asset value of the shares and the listing exchange may halt trading of the ETF's shares.

Investment in Loans Risk—Investments in loans, including loan syndicates and other direct lending opportunities, involve special types of risks, including credit risk, interest rate risk, counterparty risk and prepayment risk. Loans may offer a fixed or floating interest rate. Loans are often generally below investment grade and may be unrated. The Fund’s investments in loans can also be difficult to value accurately and may be more susceptible to liquidity risk than fixed-income instruments of similar credit quality and/or maturity. The Fund is also subject to the risk that the value of the collateral for the loan may be insufficient or unavailable to cover the borrower’s obligations should the borrower fail to make payments or become insolvent. Participations in loans may subject the Fund to the credit risk of both the borrower and the issuer of the participation and may make enforcement of loan covenants, if any, more difficult for the Fund as legal action may have to go through the issuer of the participations. Transactions in loans are often subject to long settlement periods, thus potentially limiting the ability of the Fund to invest sale proceeds in other investments and to use proceeds to meet its current redemption obligations.

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

49 | PROSPECTUS

Preferred Securities Risk—A company’s preferred stock generally pays dividends only after the company makes required payments to holders of its bonds and other debt. For this reason, the value of preferred stock will usually react more strongly than bonds and other debt to actual or perceived changes in the company’s financial condition or prospects.

Prepayment Risk—Securities subject to prepayment risk generally offer less potential for gains when interest rates decline, because issuers of the securities may be able to prepay the principal due on the securities. These securities generally offer less potential for gains when interest rates decline and may offer a greater potential for loss when interest rates rise.

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

Zero Coupon and Payment-In-Kind Securities Risk—Zero coupon and payment-in-kind securities pay no cash income and usually are sold at substantial discounts from their value at maturity. Zero coupon and payment-in-kind securities are subject to greater market value fluctuations from changing interest rates than debt obligations of comparable maturities, which make current distributions of cash.

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its assets (net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities. Generally, the Fund intends to invest in higher dividend-yielding equity securities. The Fund is not limited in the percentage of assets it may invest in securities listed, traded or dealt in any one country, region or geographic area and it may invest in a number of countries throughout the world, including emerging markets.

While the Fund tends to focus its investments in equity securities of large- and mid-capitalization companies, it can also invest in equity securities of companies that represent a broad range of market capitalizations and will not be constrained by capitalization limits. At times, the Fund may thus invest a significant portion of its assets in small- and mid-capitalization companies. The equity securities in which the Fund may invest include, but are not limited to, common stock, preferred stock, American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”), American Depositary Shares (“ADS”), convertible securities and warrants and rights. The Fund invests in securities denominated in a wide variety of currencies.

The Fund may invest in a variety of investment vehicles, such as exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and other mutual funds to manage its cash position, or to gain exposure to the equity markets or a particular sector of the equity markets. These investments may be more liquid than investing directly in individual issuers.

The Fund may also hold up to 20% of its assets (net assets, plus the amount of any borrowing for investment purposes) in non-equity securities of foreign or U.S. issuers.

While the Fund generally does not intend to usually hold a significant portion of its assets in derivatives, the Fund may invest in derivatives, consisting of forwards, options, swaps and futures contracts (some of these instruments may be traded in the over-the-counter market) in order to maintain exposure to the securities and currency markets at times when it is unable to purchase the corresponding securities and currencies directly, or it believes that it is more appropriate to use derivatives to obtain the desired exposure to the underlying assets. Further, the Fund may seek to reduce the Fund's foreign currency exposure associated with its foreign investments by engaging in transactions and derivatives designed to hedge against adverse movements in foreign currencies, including forward foreign currency contracts, spot market transactions, currency futures, and options. At times, the Fund may engage in extensive foreign currency hedging transactions.

Security Investors, LLC, also known as Guggenheim Investments (the “Investment Manager”), will actively manage the Fund’s portfolio while utilizing quantitative analysis to forecast risk. The Investment Manager’s goal will be to construct a well diversified portfolio comprised of securities that have historically demonstrated low volatility in their returns and that collectively have the ability to provide dividend yields in excess of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI World Index (Net) ("MSCI Index"). In selecting investments, the Investment Manager will consider the dividend yield potential of each security, the historic volatility of each security, the correlation between securities, trading liquidity and market capitalization, among other factors or security characteristics. The Investment Manager also may consider transaction costs and overall exposures to countries, sectors and stocks. While the portfolio may be comprised of a large portion of securities that are included within the MSCI Index, a broad-based index that captures large- and mid-cap representations across a large number of developed markets countries, the Fund will also invest in securities that are not included in the MSCI Index. The Investment Manager may determine to sell a security for

PROSPECTUS | 62

several reasons including the following: (1) better investment opportunities are available; (2) to meet redemption requests; (3) to close-out or unwind derivatives transactions; (4) to realize gains; or (5) if market conditions change.

The Fund may invest in a limited number of industries or industry sectors, including the technology and financial sectors.

PRINCIPAL RISKS

Capitalization Securities Risk—The Fund may have significant exposure to securities in a particular capitalization range, e.g., large-, mid- or small-cap securities. As a result, the Fund may be subject to the risk that the pre-dominate capitalization range may underperform other segments of the equity market or the equity market as a whole.

Currency Risk—Indirect and direct exposure to foreign currencies subjects the Fund to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. Dollar, which would cause a decline in the U.S. value of the holdings of the Fund. 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, economic and tax developments in the U.S. or abroad. The Fund's foreign currency hedging transactions and techniques may not be effective and, in certain cases, may adversely affect the Fund. In addition, the Fund’s ability to engage in these transactions and techniques may be limited under certain circumstances.

63 | PROSPECTUS

the Fund to realize higher amounts of short term capital gains (generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates) than if the Fund had not used such instruments. Some of the derivatives in which the Fund invests may be traded (and privately negotiated) in the OTC market. OTC derivatives are subject to heightened credit, liquidity and valuation risks.

Dividend-Paying Stock Risk—As a category, dividend-paying stocks may underperform non-dividend paying stocks (and the stock market as a whole) over any period of time. In addition, issuers of dividend-paying stocks may have discretion to defer or stop paying dividends for a stated period of time. If the dividend-paying stocks held by the Fund reduce or stop paying dividends, the Fund’s ability to generate income may be adversely affected.

Geographic Focus Risk—Asia. Because the Fund may focus its investments in Asia, the Fund’s performance may be particularly susceptible to adverse social, political and economic conditions or events within Asia. As a result, the Fund’s performance may be more volatile than the performance of a more geographically diversified fund.

Geographic Focus Risk—Europe. Because the Fund may focus its investments in Europe, the Fund’s performance may be particularly susceptible to adverse social, political and economic conditions or events within Europe. As a result, the Fund’s performance may be more volatile than the performance of a more geographically diversified fund.

Additional Information Regarding Investment Objectives and Strategies

The Board of Trustees of the Funds may change a Fund's investment objective and strategies at any time without shareholder approval. A Fund will provide written notice to shareholders prior to, or concurrent with, any such change as required by applicable law. Should a Fund with a name suggesting a specific type of investment or industry change its policy of investing at least 80% of its assets (net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in the type of investment or industry suggested by its name, the Fund will provide shareholders at least 60 days' notice prior to making the change. For purposes of this 80% policy, derivatives usually will be based on their notional value and the Guggenheim Risk Managed Real Estate Fund will count the absolute value of securities sold short. For purposes of determining a Fund’s compliance with the Fund’s 80% investment policy under Rule 35d-1 under the 1940 Act (if applicable), the Fund may, to the extent permitted by its principal investment strategy, seek to obtain exposure to the securities in which it primarily invests through a variety of investment vehicles, principally closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and other mutual funds where the identity of those underlying portfolio securities can be reasonably determined. As with any investment, there can be no guarantee a Fund will achieve its investment objective.

Each Fund may, from time to time and in the discretion of the Investment Manager, take temporary positions that are inconsistent with the Fund’s principal investment strategies in attempting to respond to adverse or unstable market, economic, political, or other conditions or abnormal circumstances, such as large cash inflows or anticipated large redemptions. For example, each Fund may invest some or all of its assets in cash, derivatives, fixed-income instruments, government bonds, money market instruments, repurchase agreements or securities of other investment companies, including money market funds. The Fund may be unable to pursue or achieve its investment objective during that time and temporary investments could reduce the benefit to the Fund from any upswing in the market.

The Funds’ holdings of certain types of investments cannot exceed a maximum percentage of assets. Percentage limitations are set forth in this Prospectus and/or the Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”). While the percentage limitations provide a useful level of detail about the Funds’ investment program, they should not be viewed as an accurate gauge of the potential risk of the investment. For example, in a given period, a 5% investment in futures contracts could have significantly more of an impact on a Fund’s share price than its weighting in the portfolio. The net effect of a particular investment depends on its volatility and the size of its overall return or risk profile in relation to the performance of the Fund’s other investments. The Portfolio Managers of the Funds have considerable leeway in choosing investment strategies and selecting securities, investment vehicles and other types of instruments the Portfolio Managers believe will help a Fund achieve its objective. In seeking to meet its investment objective or to adapt to changing economic or market environments, a Fund may invest in any type of security or instrument whose investment characteristics are considered by the Portfolio Managers to be consistent with the Fund’s investment program, including some that may not be listed in this Prospectus.

The Guggenheim World Equity Income Fund will determine the country of an issuer of a security based on: (a) the issuer’s domicile or location of headquarters; (b) where the issuer derives a significant proportion (at least 50%) of its revenues or profits from goods produced or sold, investments made, or services performed or where it has at least 50% of its assets; (c) the principal trading market for the security; (d) the currency in which the security is denominated; or (e) the classification of the country of an issuer by a third-party index provider. Investors should be aware that the investments made by a Fund and the results achieved by a Fund at any given time are not expected to be the same as those made by other mutual funds for which an Investment Manager acts as investment adviser, including mutual funds with names, investment objectives and policies similar to the Fund. Also, investment strategies and types of investments will evolve over time, sometimes without prior notice to shareholders.

The Funds’ investment policies, limitations and other guidelines typically apply at the time an investment is made. As a result, a Fund generally may continue to hold positions that met a particular investment policy or limitation at the time the investment was made but subsequently do not meet the investment policy or limitation.

The Funds are subject to certain investment policy limitations referred to as “fundamental policies.” The full text of each Fund’s fundamental policies is included in the SAI.

Descriptions of Principal Risks

An investment or type of security specifically identified in this Prospectus generally reflects a principal investment for a Fund. The Funds also may invest in or use certain other types of investments and investing techniques that are described in the SAI. An investment or type of security only identified in the SAI typically is treated as a non-principal investment. Additional information on the principal risks and certain non-principal risks of the Funds is set forth

PROSPECTUS | 68

below. Not all of the risks are principal risks for each Fund. The fact that a particular risk was not indicated as a principal risk for a Fund does not mean that the Fund is prohibited from investing its assets in securities that give rise to that risk. It simply means that the risk is not a principal risk for that Fund. Although the Funds will not generally trade for short-term profits, circumstances may warrant a sale without regard to the length of time a security was held. Each Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities. A high turnover rate may increase transaction costs, which decreases the value of investments, and may result in additional taxable gains (including short term gains) for a Fund.

Investors should note that each Fund reserves the right to discontinue offering shares at any time, to merge or reorganize itself or a class of shares, or to cease operations and liquidate at any time. In addition, portfolio managers can change at any time, the investment manager can be replaced, and an investment sub-adviser can be appointed to manage a Fund.

Asset-Backed Securities Risk—Certain Funds may invest in asset-backed securities issued by legal entities that are sponsored by banks, investment banks, other financial institutions or companies, asset management firms or funds and are specifically created for the purpose of issuing such asset-backed securities. Investors in asset-backed securities receive payments that are part interest and part return of principal or certain asset-backed securities may be interest-only securities or principal-only securities. These payments typically depend upon the cash flows generated by an underlying pool of assets and vary based on the rate at which the underlying obligors pay off their liabilities under the underlying assets. The pooled assets provide cash flow to the issuer, which then makes interest and principal payments to investors.

Investments in asset-backed securities may be subject to many of the same risks that are applicable to investments in securities generally, including currency risk, geographic emphasis risk, high yield and unrated securities risk, leverage risk, prepayment and extension risk and regulatory risk. Asset-backed securities are particularly subject to interest rate, credit and liquidity and valuation risks.

In addition, investments in asset-backed securities entail additional risks relating to the underlying pools of assets, including credit risk, default risk and prepayment and extension risk with respect to the underlying pool or individual assets represented in the pool. With respect to a mortgage loan backing mortgage-backed securities, when an underlying obligor, such as a homeowner, makes a prepayment, an investor in the securities receives a larger portion of its principal investment back, which means that there will be a decrease in monthly interest payments and the investor may not be able to reinvest the principal it receives as a result of such prepayment in a security with a similar risk, return or liquidity profile. In addition to prepayments, the underlying assets owned by an issuer of asset-backed securities are subject to the risk of defaults, and both defaults and prepayments may shorten the securities’ weighted average life and may lower their return, which may adversely affect a Fund’s investment in the asset-backed securities. The value of asset-backed securities held by a Fund also may change because of actual or perceived changes in the creditworthiness of the underlying asset obligors, the originators, the servicing agents, the financial institutions, if any, providing credit support, or swap counterparties in the case of synthetic asset-backed securities.

Further, credit risk retention requirements for asset-backed securities may increase the costs to originators, securitizers and, in certain cases, asset managers of securitization vehicles in which a Fund may invest. Although the impact of these requirements is uncertain, certain additional costs may be passed to a Fund and the Fund’s investments in asset-backed securities may be adversely affected. Many of the other changes required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), or foreign regulatory developments could materially impact the value of a Fund’s assets, expose the Fund to additional costs and require changes to investment practices, thereby adversely affecting the Fund’s performance.

Additional risks relating to investments in asset-backed securities may arise because of the type of asset-backed securities in which a Fund invests, defined by the assets collateralizing the asset-backed securities. For example, collateralized mortgage obligations may have complex or highly variable prepayment terms, such as companion classes, interest only or principal only payments, inverse floaters and residuals. These investments generally entail greater market, prepayment and liquidity risks than other mortgage-backed securities, and may be volatile or less liquid than other mortgage-backed securities.

Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities—Home mortgage loans are typically grouped together into pools by banks and other lending institutions, and interests in these pools are then sold to investors, allowing the bank or other lending institution to have more money available to loan to home buyers. Some of these pools are guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or by government sponsored private corporations-familiarly called “Ginnie Mae,” “Fannie Mae” and “Freddie Mac.” Home mortgage loans may also be purchased and grouped together by non-lending institutions such as investment banks and hedge funds who will sell interests in such pools to investors. Mortgage-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates given that rising interest rates tend to extend the duration of fixed-rate mortgage-backed

69 | PROSPECTUS

securities. As a result, a rising interest rate environment can cause the prices of mortgage-backed securities to be increasingly volatile, which may adversely affect a Fund’s holdings of mortgage-backed securities. In light of the current interest rate environment, a Fund’s investments in these securities may be subject to heightened interest rate risk.

Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities—Commercial mortgage backed securities (“CMBS”) are collateralized by one or more commercial mortgage loans. Banks and other lending institutions typically group the loans into pools and interests in these pools are then sold to investors, allowing the lender to have more money available to loan to other commercial real estate owners. Commercial mortgage loans may be secured by office properties, retail properties, hotels, mixed use properties or multi-family apartment buildings. Investments in CMBS are subject to the risks of asset-backed securities generally and particularly subject to credit risk, interest rate risk, and liquidity and valuation risk.

Collateralized Loan Obligations and Collateralized Debt Obligations—A collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) is an asset-backed security whose underlying collateral is a pool of loans. Such loans may include domestic and foreign senior secured loans, senior unsecured loans and subordinate corporate loans, some of which may be below investment grade or equivalent unrated loans. Investments in CLOs carry the same risks as investments in loans directly such as interest rate risk, credit and liquidity and valuation risks, and the risk of default. These investments are also subject to the risks associated with a decrease of market value due to collateral defaults and disappearance of subordinate tranches, market anticipation of defaults, and investor aversion to these types of securities as a class. CLOs issue classes or “tranches” that vary in risk and yield. Losses caused by defaults on underlying assets are borne first by the holders of subordinate tranches. A CLO may experience substantial losses attributable to loan defaults. A Fund’s investment in a CLO may decrease in market value because of (i) loan defaults or credit impairment, (ii) the disappearance of subordinate tranches, (iii) market anticipation of defaults, and (iv) investor aversion to CLO securities as a class. These risks may be magnified depending on the tranche of CLO securities in which a Fund invests. For example, investments in a junior tranche of CLO securities will likely be more sensitive to loan defaults or credit impairment than investments in more senior tranches.

Collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”) are structured similarly to CLOs, but are backed by pools of assets that are debt securities rather than only loans, typically including bonds, other structured finance securities (including other asset-backed securities and other CLOs) and/or synthetic instruments. CDOs are often highly leveraged, and like CLOs, the risks of investing in CDOs may be magnified depending on the tranche of CDO securities held by a Fund. The nature of the risks of CDOs depends largely on the type and quality of the underlying collateral and the tranche of CDOs in which a Fund may invest. CDOs collateralized by pools of asset-backed securities carry the same risks as investments in asset-backed securities directly, including losses with respect to the collateral underlying those asset-backed securities. In addition, certain CDOs may not hold their underlying collateral directly, but rather, use derivatives such as swaps to create “synthetic” exposure to the collateral pool. Such CDOs entail the risks associated with derivative instruments.

Capitalization Securities Risk—A Fund’s investments may be composed primarily of, or have significant exposure to, securities in a particular capitalization range, e.g., large-, mid- or small-cap securities. As a result, a Fund may be subject to the risk that the pre-dominate capitalization range represented in a Fund’s portfolio may underperform other segments of the equity market or the equity market as a whole. Larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges such as changes in technology and may not be able to attain the high growth rate of smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion. In addition, in comparison to securities of companies with larger capitalizations, securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies may experience greater price volatility (especially during periods of economic uncertainty), greater spreads between their bid and ask prices, significantly lower trading volumes, and cyclical or static growth prospects. Small- and mid-cap companies often have limited product lines, markets or financial resources, and may therefore suffer isolated setbacks. These securities may or may not pay dividends. Securities of small-cap companies may present additional risks because their earnings are less predictable and their securities are often less liquid than those of larger, more established companies. Small-cap companies may also be more vulnerable to adverse business or market developments. These risks are likely to be greater for micro-cap companies. A Fund is not required to sell an investment if the investment falls out of, or can no longer be characterized as being a part of, a certain capitalization range.

Commercial Paper Risk—The value of a Fund’s investment in commercial paper, which is an unsecured promissory note that generally has a maturity date between one and 270 days and is issued by a U.S. or foreign entity, is susceptible to changes in the issuer’s financial condition or credit quality. Commercial paper is typically repaid with the proceeds from the issuance of new commercial paper. Thus, investments in commercial paper are subject to the risk (commonly referred to as rollover risk) that the issuer will be unable to issue sufficient new commercial paper to meet the repayment obligations under its outstanding commercial paper. Investments in commercial paper are usually

PROSPECTUS | 70

discounted from their value at maturity. Commercial paper can be fixed-rate or variable rate and can be adversely affected by changes in interest rates. As with other debt securities, there is a risk that the issuer of commercial paper will default completely on its obligations. Commercial paper is generally unsecured and, thus, is subject to increased credit risk. A Fund may have limited or no recourse against the issuer of commercial paper in the event of default.

Concentration Risk—Real estate companies may lack diversification due to ownership of a limited number of properties and concentration in a particular geographic region or property type. By concentrating in the real estate industry, the Guggenheim Risk Managed Real Estate Fund and Guggenheim Market Neutral Real Estate Fund are subject to the risks specifically affecting that industry more than a fund that invests across a variety of industries.

Convertible Securities Risk—Convertible securities, debt or preferred equity securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, equity securities, are generally preferred stocks and other securities, including fixed-income securities and warrants that are convertible into or exercisable for common stock. They generally participate in the appreciation or depreciation of the underlying stock into which they are convertible, but to a lesser degree, and are subject to the risks associated with debt and equity securities, including interest rate, market and issuer risks. For example, if market interest rates rise, the value of a convertible security usually falls. Certain convertible securities may combine higher or lower current income with options and other features. Warrants are options to buy a stated number of shares of common stock at a specified price anytime during the life of the warrants (generally, two or more years). Convertible securities may be lower-rated securities subject to greater levels of credit risk. A convertible security may be converted before it would otherwise be most appropriate, which may have an adverse effect on a Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.

“Synthetic” convertible securities are selected based on the similarity of their economic characteristics to those of a traditional convertible security due to the combination of separate securities that possess the two principal characteristics of a traditional convertible security, i.e., an income-producing security (“income-producing component”) and the right to acquire an equity security (“convertible component”). The income-producing component is achieved by investing in non-convertible, income-producing securities such as bonds, preferred stocks and money market instruments, which may be represented by derivative instruments. The convertible component is achieved by investing in securities or instruments such as warrants or options to buy common stock at a certain exercise price, or options on a stock index. A simple example of a synthetic convertible security is the combination of a traditional corporate bond with a warrant to purchase equity securities of the issuer of the bond. A Fund may also purchase synthetic securities created by other parties, typically investment banks, including convertible structured notes. The income-producing and convertible components of a synthetic convertible security may be issued separately by different issuers and at different times.

Correlation Risk—A number of factors may affect the ability to track an underlying investment, such as an index, through a management strategy or a derivative instrument or an underlying fund. Factors may include, for example, derivatives contracts costs or underlying fund fees and expenses. There can be no guarantee that an investment will achieve a high degree of correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent a Fund from achieving the objective pursued by an investment. A number of factors may adversely affect correlation with the underlying investment, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, income items, accounting standards and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests. A Fund may be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being forced to liquidate a position at an inappropriate time.

Counterparty Credit Risk—A Fund may invest in financial instruments and derivatives (including equity index swap agreements) involving counterparties for the purpose of seeking to gain exposure to a particular group of securities, index, asset class or reference asset without actually purchasing those securities or investments, or seeking to hedge a position. Such financial instruments may include, among others, total return, index, interest rate, and credit default swap agreements. A Fund may use counterparty agreements to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized in particular predetermined investments or instruments. Through these investments, a Fund is exposed to credit risks that the counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its contractual obligations. If the counterparty becomes bankrupt or defaults on (or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling to perform) its payment obligations to the Fund, the Fund may not receive the full amount that it is entitled to receive or may experience delays in recovering the collateral held by, or on behalf of, the counterparty. If this occurs or if exercising contractual rights involves delays or costs for a Fund, the value of your shares in a Fund may decrease.

A Fund bears the risk that counterparties may be adversely affected by legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions, increased competition, and/or wide scale credit losses resulting from financial difficulties or borrowers affecting counterparties.

Credit Risk—A Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a debt instrument or a counterparty to a derivatives transaction or other transaction (such as a repurchase agreement or a loan of portfolio securities) is unable or unwilling, or perceived to be unable or unwilling, to pay interest or repay principal on time or defaults. If an issuer fails to pay interest, a Fund’s income would likely be reduced, and if an issuer fails to repay principal, the value of the instrument likely would fall and the Fund could lose money. This risk is especially acute with respect to high yield, below investment grade and unrated high risk debt instruments (which also may be known as “junk bonds”). Also, the issuer, guarantor or counterparty may suffer adverse changes in its financial condition or be adversely affected by economic, political or social conditions that could lower the credit quality (or the market’s perception of the credit quality) of the issuer or instrument, leading to greater volatility in the price of the instrument and in shares of a Fund. Although credit quality may not accurately reflect the true credit risk of an instrument, a change in the credit quality rating of an instrument or an issuer can have a rapid, adverse effect on the instrument’s liquidity and make it more difficult for a Fund to sell at an advantageous price or time. Any applicable limitation on the credit quality of an issuer or instrument in which a Fund may invest is applied at the time the Fund purchases the instrument.

The degree of credit risk depends on the particular instrument and the financial condition of the issuer, guarantor or counterparty, which are often reflected in its credit quality. Credit quality is a measure of the issuer’s expected ability to make all required interest and principal payments in a timely manner. An issuer with the highest credit rating has a very strong capacity with respect to making all payments. An issuer with the second-highest credit rating has a strong capacity to make all payments, but the degree of safety is somewhat less. An issuer with the lowest credit quality rating may be in default or have extremely poor prospects of making timely payment of interest and principal. Credit ratings assigned by rating agencies are based on a number of factors and subjective judgments and therefore do not necessarily represent an issuer's actual financial condition or the volatility or liquidity of the security. Although higher-rated securities generally present lower credit risk as compared to lower-rated or unrated securities, an issuer with a high credit rating may in fact be exposed to heightened levels of credit or liquidity risk. See Appendix A of the SAI for a more complete discussion of the meaning of the different credit quality ratings.

Investment grade instruments are debt instruments that have been determined by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization to have a medium to high probability of being paid (although there is always a risk of default) or, if unrated, have been determined by the Investment Manager to be of comparable quality. Investment grade instruments are designated “BBB”, “A”, “AA” or “AAA” by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group, Fitch Investors Service, Inc., DBRS Ltd., Morningstar Credit Ratings, LLC and Kroll Bond Rating Agency, Inc., “Baa”, “A”, “Aa” or “Aaa” by Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”), and “bbb”, “a”, “aa”, or “aaa” by A.M. Best Company, or an equivalent rating by any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization, or have been determined by the Investment Manager to be of comparable quality. If nationally recognized statistical rating organizations assign different ratings to the same instrument, a Fund will use the higher rating for purposes of determining the instrument’s credit quality. The Investment Managers’ credit analysis includes looking at factors such as an issuer’s debt service coverage (i.e., its ability to make interest payments on its debt), the issuer’s cash flow, general economic factors and domestic and global market conditions.

The loans and corporate debt instruments in which a Fund may invest include those (i) rated lower than investment grade credit quality, e.g., rated lower than “Baa” category by Moody’s or “BBB” category by Standard & Poor’s Corporation, or have been issued by issuers who have issued other debt instruments which, if rated, would be rated lower than investment grade credit quality or (ii) unrated but the borrowers and their other loans typically are rated below investment grade. Investment decisions will be based largely on the credit risk analysis performed by the Investment Manager and not on rating agency evaluations. This analysis may be difficult to perform. Information about many loans and their issuers generally is not available in the public domain because many issuers have not issued securities to the public and are not subject to reporting requirements under federal securities laws. Thus, little public information typically exists about these companies. Generally, however, these issuers are required to provide certain financial information to lenders, and certain information may be available from other participants or agents in the loan marketplace.

Currency Risk—A Fund’s direct or indirect exposure to foreign currencies, including through ownership of securities of foreign issuers, subjects the Fund to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. Dollar, which would cause a decline in the U.S. value of the holdings of the Fund. 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, economic and tax developments in the U.S. or abroad. When a Fund seeks exposure to foreign currencies through foreign currency contracts and related transactions, the Fund becomes particularly susceptible to foreign currency value fluctuations, which may be sudden and significant, and investment decisions tied to currency markets. In addition, these investments are subject to the risks associated with derivatives.

PROSPECTUS | 72

A Fund may engage in transactions and derivatives designed to reduce the Fund's exposure to foreign currencies or to hedge against adverse movements in foreign currencies. However, there can be no assurance that the Fund’s hedging transactions or techniques will be effective because, for example, it may not accurately predict movements in exchange rates and there may be imperfect correlations between the hedging transaction and the risk that the Fund seeks to hedge or reduce. The Fund’s ability to engage in these transactions and techniques may be limited under certain circumstances and, in some cases, the Fund may choose not to engage in such transactions. It is possible that hedging transactions and techniques can reduce the opportunities for gains or even result in losses by offsetting favorable price movements in other Fund investments. In addition, the Fund will incur costs associated with any foreign currency hedging transactions.

Depositary Receipt Risk—A Fund may hold the equity securities of non-U.S. companies in the form of one or more of the following types of depositary receipts: American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"), ADSs, Global Depositary Receipts ("GDRs") and IDRs. ADRs are negotiable certificates issued by a U.S. financial institution that represent a specified number of shares in a foreign stock and trade on a U.S. national securities exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange. Holders of certain depositary receipts may have limited voting rights and may not have the same rights typically afforded to shareholders in the event of a corporate action and may experience difficulty in receiving company stockholder communications. A Fund will primarily invest in sponsored ADRs, which are issued with the support of the issuer of the foreign stock underlying the ADRs and carry all of the rights of common shares, including voting rights. ADS are U.S. dollar-denominated equity shares of a foreign-based company available for purchase on a U.S. national securities exchange. GDRs or IDRs are similar to ADRs, but may be issued in bearer form and are typically offered for sale globally and held by a foreign branch of an international bank. The underlying securities of the depositary receipts in a Fund’s portfolio are usually denominated or quoted in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. As a result, changes in foreign currency exchange rates may affect the value of a Fund’s portfolio. Generally, when the U.S. Dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, a security denominated in that currency loses value because the currency is worth fewer U.S. Dollars. In addition, because the underlying securities of depositary receipts trade on foreign exchanges at times when the U.S. markets are not open for trading, the value of the securities underlying the depositary receipts may change materially at times when the U.S. markets are not open for trading, regardless of whether there is an active U.S. market for shares of a Fund. Depositary receipts are generally subject to the same risks as the foreign securities that they evidence or into which they may be converted. A Fund’s investment exposure to the underlying foreign securities may involve risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies. Foreign securities markets generally have less trading volume and less liquidity than U.S. markets, and prices in some foreign markets can be extremely volatile due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. 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. In addition, transaction costs and costs associated with custody services are generally higher for foreign securities than they are for U.S. securities.

Derivatives Risk—A Fund may invest in derivatives, such as swaps, futures contracts and options contracts and other instruments described in the Fund’s principal investment strategies, to pursue its investment objective and to create economic leverage in the Fund, to seek to enhance total return, to seek to hedge against fluctuations in securities prices, interest rates, currency rates, etc., to seek to change the effective duration of a Fund’s portfolio, to seek to manage certain investment risks, and/or as a substitute for the purchase or sale of securities or currencies. The use of such derivatives may expose a Fund to risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in the securities underlying those derivatives, including risks relating to leverage, imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, high price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty credit, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions. The use of such derivatives may also expose a Fund to the performance of securities that the Fund does not own. For derivatives traded on an exchange or through a central counterparty, a Fund is subject to the credit risk of the clearing broker or clearinghouse. Certain derivatives are subject to mandatory exchange trading and/or clearing. Central clearing is intended to reduce counterparty credit risk and increase liquidity but does not make derivatives transactions risk-free. The skills necessary to successfully execute derivatives strategies may be different from those for more traditional portfolio management techniques, and if an Investment Manager is incorrect about its expectations of market conditions, the use of derivatives could also result in a loss, which in some cases may be unlimited. Use of derivatives may also cause a Fund to be subject to additional regulations, which may generate additional Fund expenses. These practices also entail transactional expenses and may cause a Fund to realize higher amounts of short-term capital gains than if the Fund had not engaged in such transactions. The markets for certain derivative instruments, and those located in foreign countries, are relatively new and still developing, which may expose a Fund to increased counterparty and liquidity risk. Certain risks also are specific to the derivatives in which a Fund invests.

73 | PROSPECTUS

Certain of the derivatives in which the Funds invest are traded (and privately negotiated) in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. OTC derivatives are complex and often valued subjectively. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to a Fund. In addition, OTC derivative instruments are often highly customized and tailored to meet the needs of the Funds and their trading counterparties. If a derivative transaction is particularly large or if the relevant market is illiquid, it may not be possible to initiate a transaction or liquidate a position at an advantageous time or price. As a result and similar to other privately negotiated contracts, a Fund is subject to counterparty credit risk with respect to such derivative contracts.

Swap Agreements Risk—Swap agreements are contracts for periods ranging from one day to more than one year and may be negotiated bilaterally and traded OTC between two parties or, in some instances, must be transacted through a futures commission merchant or swap execution facility and cleared through a clearinghouse that serves as a central counterparty. In a standard swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. A Fund may enter into swap agreements, including, but not limited to total return swaps, index swaps, interest rate swaps, municipal market data rate locks, and credit default swaps. A Fund may utilize swap agreements in an attempt to gain exposure to certain securities without purchasing those securities, which is speculative, or to hedge a position. Risks associated with the use of swap agreements are different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions, due to the fact they could be considered illiquid and many swaps currently trade on the OTC market. Swaps are particularly subject to counterparty credit, correlation, valuation, liquidity and leveraging risks.

Certain standardized swaps are subject to mandatory exchange trading and central clearing. Exchange trading and central clearing are expected to reduce counterparty credit risk and increase liquidity but doe not make swap transactions risk-free. Additionally, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") and other applicable regulators have adopted rules imposing certain margin requirements, including minimums, on OTC swaps, which may result in a Fund and its counterparties posting higher margin amounts for OTC swaps. The Dodd-Frank Act and related regulatory developments require the clearing and exchange-trading of many OTC derivative instruments that the CFTC and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") have defined as “swaps.” Mandatory exchange-trading and clearing are occurring on a phased-in basis based on the type of market participant and CFTC approval of contracts for central clearing. The Investment Manager will continue to monitor developments in this area, particularly to the extent regulatory changes affect a Fund’s ability to enter into swap agreements.

Futures Contracts Risk—Futures contracts are exchange-traded contracts that call for the future delivery of an asset at a certain price and date, or cash settlement (payment of the gain or loss on the contract). Futures are often used to manage or hedge risk because they enable the investor to buy or sell an asset in the future at an agreed-upon price and for other reasons such as to manage exposure to changes in interest rates and bond prices; as an efficient means of adjusting overall exposure to certain markets; in an effort to enhance income; to protect the value of portfolio securities; and to adjust portfolio duration. Risks of futures contracts may be caused by an imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the instruments and the price of the underlying securities. In addition, there is the risk that a Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market. Futures markets can be highly volatile and the use of futures may increase the volatility of a Fund’s NAV. Exchanges can limit the number of options that can be held or controlled by a Fund or its Investment Manager, thus limiting the ability to implement a Fund’s strategies. Futures are also subject to leveraging risk and can be subject to liquidity risk.

Options Contracts Risk—The buyer of an option acquires the right, but not the obligation, to buy (a call option) or sell (a put option) a certain quantity of a security (the underlying security) or instrument, including a futures contract or swap, at a certain price up to a specified point in time. The seller or writer of an option is obligated to sell (a call option) or buy (a put option) the underlying instrument. Options are often used to manage or hedge risk because they enable the investor to buy or sell an asset in the future at an agreed-upon price and for other reasons such as to manage exposure to changes in interest rates and bond prices; as an efficient means of adjusting overall exposure to certain markets; in an effort to enhance income; to protect the value of portfolio securities; and to adjust portfolio duration.

Options are subject to correlation risks. The writing and purchase of options is a highly specialized activity as the successful use of options depends on the Investment Manager’s ability to predict correctly future price fluctuations and the degree of correlation between the markets for options and the underlying instruments. Exchanges can limit the number of futures options that can be held or controlled by a Fund or its Investment Manager, thus limiting the ability to implement the Fund's strategies. Options are also particularly subject to leverage risk and can be subject to liquidity risk. Because option premiums paid or received by a Fund are small

PROSPECTUS | 74

in relation to the market value of the investments underlying the options, a Fund is exposed to the risk that buying and selling put and call options can be more speculative than investing directly in securities.

A Fund may also purchase or sell call and put options on a “covered” basis. A call option is “covered” if a Fund owns the security underlying the call or has an absolute right to acquire the security without additional cash consideration (or, if additional cash consideration is required, cash or cash equivalents in such amount are segregated by a Fund’s custodian). As a seller of covered call options, the Fund faces the risk that it will forgo the opportunity to profit from increases in the market value of the security covering the call option during an option’s life.

Hybrid Securities—Hybrid instruments combine the characteristics of securities, futures and options. Typically, a hybrid instrument combines a traditional stock, bond or commodity with an option or forward contract. Generally, the principal amount, amount payable upon maturity or redemption, or interest rate of a hybrid is tied to the price of some security, commodity, currency or securities index, or another interest rate or some other economic factor. Hybrid instruments can be used as an efficient means of pursuing a variety of investment goals, including currency hedging and increased total return. The risks of such investments would reflect the risks of investing in futures, options and securities, including volatility and illiquidity. Such securities may bear interest or pay dividends at below market (or even relatively nominal) rates. Under certain conditions, the redemption value of such an investment could be zero.

Dividend-Paying Stock Risk—A Fund’s strategy of investing in dividend-paying stocks involves the risk that such stocks may fall out of favor with investors and underperform the market. Companies that issue dividend-paying stocks are not required to continue to pay dividends on such stocks. Therefore, there is the possibility that such companies could reduce or eliminate the payment of dividends in the future or the anticipated acceleration of dividends could not occur as a result of, among other things, a sharp rise in interest rates or an economic downturn. Changes in the dividend policies of companies and capital resources available for these companies’ dividend payments may adversely affect the Fund . Depending upon market conditions, dividend-paying stocks that meet the Fund’s investment criteria may not be widely available and/or may be highly concentrated in only a few market sectors.

Emerging Markets Risk—A Fund may invest in securities in emerging markets. Investing in securities in emerging markets countries may entail greater risks than investing in securities in developed markets countries, such as increased economic, political, regulatory or other uncertainties. These risks include: (i) less social, political and economic stability and potentially more volatile currency exchange rates; (ii) the small current size of the markets for such securities and the currently low or nonexistent volume of trading, which result in a lack of liquidity and in greater price volatility; (iii) certain national policies which may restrict a Fund’s investment opportunities, including restrictions on investment in issuers or industries deemed sensitive to national interests, and trade barriers; (iv) foreign taxation; (v) the absence of developed legal systems, including structures governing private or foreign investment or allowing for judicial redress for injury to private property; (vi) lower levels of government regulation and less extensive accounting, financial and other reporting requirements; (vii) high rates of inflation for prolonged periods; and (viii) particular sensitivity to global economic conditions or reliance on international or other forms of aid, including trade, taxation and development policies. Sovereign debt of emerging countries may be in default or present a greater risk of default. Frontier market countries generally have smaller economies and even less developed capital markets than traditional emerging market countries (which themselves have increased investment risk relative to developed market countries) and, as a result, a Fund's exposure to the risks associated with investing in emerging market countries are magnified if the Fund invests in frontier market countries.

Equity Securities Risk—A Fund may invest in equity securities and equity-related securities, which include common stocks and other equity securities (and securities convertible into stocks), and the prices of equity securities generally fluctuate in value more than other investments. Growth stocks may be more volatile than value stocks. The price of equity securities may rise or fall rapidly or unpredictably and may reflect real or perceived changes in the issuing company’s financial condition and changes in the overall market or economy and other conditions. Price movements in equity securities may result from factors or events affecting individual issuers, industries or the market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. In addition, equity markets tend to move in cycles that may cause downward price movements over prolonged periods of time. Certain events can have a dramatic adverse effect on equity markets and may lead to periods of high volatility in an equity market or a segment of an equity market.

Common stocks generally represent the riskiest investment in a company and dividend payments (if declared) to preferred stockholders generally rank junior to payments due to a company’s debtholders. If the prices of the equity securities held by a Fund fall, the value of your investment in the Fund will be adversely affected. A Fund may lose a substantial part, or even all, of its investment in a company’s stock.

A Fund’s investment in securities offered through initial public offerings (“IPOs”) may have a magnified performance impact, either positive or negative, on the Fund, particularly if the Fund has a small asset base. There is no guarantee

75 | PROSPECTUS

that as a Fund's assets grow, it will continue to experience substantially similar performance by investing in IPOs. A Fund’s investments in IPOs may make it subject to more erratic price movements than the overall equity market.

Exchange Traded Notes Risk—Certain Funds may invest in ETNs. ETNs are a type of unsecured, unsubordinated debt security that have characteristics and risks similar to those of fixed-income securities and trade on a major exchange similar to shares of ETFs and gives exposure to underlying investments (typically market indices), which may themselves be equity or fixed-income investments. However, this type of security differs from other types of bonds and notes because ETN returns are based upon the performance of a market index minus applicable fees, no period coupon payments are distributed, and no principal protections exist. The value of an ETN may be influenced by time to maturity, level of supply and demand for the ETN, volatility and lack of liquidity in underlying markets, changes in the applicable interest rates, changes in the issuer’s credit rating and economic, legal, political or geographic events that affect the referenced investment. A Fund’s decision to sell its ETN holdings also may be limited by the availability of a secondary market. If a Fund must sell some or all of its ETN holdings and the secondary market is weak, it may have to sell such holdings at a discount. If a Fund holds its investment in an ETN until maturity, the issuer will typically give the Fund a cash amount that would be equal to principal amount (subject to the day’s index factor). ETNs are also subject to counterparty credit risk (which includes the risk that the issuer may fail). The timing and character of income and gains derived by a Fund from ETNs for U.S. federal income tax purposes is under consideration by the U.S. Treasury and IRS and may also be affected by future legislation.

Foreign Securities and Currency Risk—Investing in foreign investments, including investing in foreign securities through ADRs and GDRs, involves certain special or additional risks, including, but not limited to: (i) unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates; (ii) unfavorable changes in applicable regulations; (iii) adverse political and economic developments; (iv) unreliable or untimely information; (v) limited legal recourse; (vi) limited markets; (vii) higher operational expenses; and (viii) illiquidity. These investments are subject to additional risks, including: differing reporting, accounting, and auditing standards; nationalization, expropriation, or confiscatory taxation; foreign currency fluctuations, currency blockage, or replacement; potential for default on sovereign debt; or other diplomatic developments, which may include the imposition of economic sanctions or other measures by the U.S. or other governments and supranational organizations or changes in trade policies. These risks may even be higher in underdeveloped or emerging markets. The less developed a country's securities market is, the greater the level of risks. A Fund considers a security to be a foreign security if the issuer is organized under the laws of a foreign country or is a foreign government, or a sub-division or agency of such government, or the security is traded in markets outside the United States.

Foreign fixed-income securities may also be negatively affected by rising interest rates, which may cause an increase in funding costs for foreign issuers and make it more difficult for them to service their debt. Rising interest rates, in addition to widening credit spreads, may cause a decline in market liquidity. Foreign investments are normally issued and traded in foreign currencies. As a result, their values may be affected by changes in the exchange rates between particular foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. Foreign investments may be subject to the risks of seizure or other invovlement by a foreign government, imposition of restrictions on the exchange or transport of foreign currency, and tax increases. There may also be less information publicly available about a foreign company than about most U.S. companies, and foreign companies are usually not subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and practices comparable to those in the United States. The legal remedies for investors in foreign investments may be more limited than those available in the United States and a Fund may have limited or no legal recourse with respect to foreign securities. Certain foreign investments may be less liquid (harder to buy and sell) and more volatile than domestic investments, which means a Fund may at times be unable to sell its foreign investments at desirable prices. For the same reason, a Fund may at times find it difficult to value its foreign investments. Brokerage commissions and other fees are generally higher for foreign investments than for domestic investments. The procedures and rules for settling foreign transactions may also involve delays in payment, delivery or recovery of money or investments. Foreign withholding taxes may reduce the amount of income available to distribute to shareholders of a Fund.

Geographic Focus Risk—Asia. Because the Guggenheim World Equity Income Fund may focus its investments in Asia, the Fund’s performance may be particularly susceptible to adverse social, political and economic conditions or events within Asia. Although certain Asian economies are exemplars of growth and development others have been and continue to be subject, to some extent, to over-extension of credit, currency devaluations and restrictions, high unemployment, high inflation, decreased exports and economic recessions. As a result, the Fund’s performance may be more volatile than the performance of a more geographically diversified fund.

Geographic Focus Risk—Europe. Because the Guggenheim World Equity Income Fund may focus its investments in Europe, the Fund’s performance may be particularly susceptible to adverse social, political and economic conditions or events within Europe. The European economy is diverse and includes both large, competitive economies and small,

PROSPECTUS | 76

struggling economies. The European economy is vulnerable to decreasing imports or exports, changes in governmental regulations on trade, changes in the exchange rate of the Euro and recessions in European Union economies. The European financial markets have recently experienced volatility due to concerns about rising government debt levels of several European countries and increased unemployment levels. Economic uncertainty may have an adverse effect on the value of the Fund’s investments. As a result, the Fund’s performance may be more volatile than the performance of a more geographically diversified fund.

Growth Stocks Risk—Investments in growth stocks may lack the dividend yield that can cushion stock prices in market downturns. Growth companies often are expected to increase their earnings at a certain rate. If expectations are not met, investors can punish the stocks, even if earnings do increase.

High Yield and Unrated Securities Risk—High yield debt securities in the lower rating (higher risk) categories of the recognized rating services are commonly referred to as “junk bonds.” High yield securities are debt securities that have been determined by a rating agency to have a lower probability of being paid and have a credit rating of “BB” category or lower by Standard & Poor’s Corporation and Fitch Investors Service, Inc. or “Ba” category or lower by Moody’s Investors Service or have been determined by an Investment Manager to be of comparable quality. The total return and yield of junk bonds can be expected to fluctuate more than the total return and yield of higher-quality bonds. Junk bonds (those rated below investment grade or in default, or unrated securities determined by the Investment Manager to be of comparable quality) are regarded as predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to meet principal and interest payments. High yield securities may be subject to greater levels of credit risk and tend to be less liquid, and therefore more difficult to value accurately and sell at an advantageous price or time and may involve greater transactions costs and wider bid/ask spreads, than higher-quality bonds. The risks associated with high yield securities are heightened during times of weakening economic conditions or rising interest rates.

Successful investment in lower-medium and lower-rated debt securities involves greater investment risk and is highly dependent on the Investment Manager’s credit analysis. The value of high yield securities is particularly vulnerable to changes in interest rates and a real or perceived economic downturn or higher interest rates could cause a decline in high-yield bond prices by lessening the ability of issuers to make principal and interest payments. These bonds are often thinly traded or subject to irregular trading and can be more difficult to sell and value accurately than higher-quality bonds because there tends to be less public information available about these securities. Because objective pricing data may be less available, judgment may play a greater role in the valuation process. In addition, the entire high yield bond market can experience sudden and sharp price swings due to a variety of factors, including changes in economic forecasts, stock market activity, large or sustained sales by major investors, a high-profile default, or a change in the market’s psychology regarding high yield investments. High yield securities may be more sensitive to adverse specific corporate or general market developments than higher-quality bonds. This type of volatility is usually associated more with stocks than bonds.

Interest Rate Risk—Investments in fixed-income instruments are subject to the possibility that interest rates could rise (or are expected to rise) sharply, causing the value of a Fund’s holdings and NAV per share to decline. Longer term bonds and zero coupon bonds are generally more sensitive to interest rate changes than shorter-term bonds. Generally, the longer the average duration (whether positive or negative) of the bonds held by a Fund or to which a Fund is exposed, the more a Fund’s share price will fluctuate in response to interest rate changes. Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security's price to changes in interest rates that incorporates a security's yield, coupon, final maturity and call features, among other characteristics. For example, the NAV per share of a bond fund with an average duration of eight years would be expected to fall approximately 8% if interest rates rose by one percentage point. Conversely, the NAV per share of a bond fund with an average duration of negative three years would be expected to rise approximately 3% if interest rates rose by one percentage point.

However, duration may not accurately reflect the true interest rate sensitivity of instruments held by a Fund and, in turn, the Fund's susceptibility to changes in interest rates. If an issuer calls or redeems an investment during a time of declining interest rates, a Fund might have to reinvest the proceeds in an investment offering a lower yield, and therefore might not benefit from any increase in value as a result of declining interest rates.

Securities with floating interest rates, such as syndicated bank loans, generally are less sensitive to interest rate changes, but may decline in value if their interest rates do not rise as much or as fast as interest rates in general. In a decreasing interest rate environment, a Fund’s investment in securities with floating interest rates may prevent the Fund from taking full advantage of decreasing interest rates in a timely manner. During periods of rising interest rates, issuers of debt securities or asset-backed securities may pay principal later or more slowly than expected, which may reduce the value of a Fund’s investment in such securities and may prevent the Fund from receiving higher interest rates on proceeds reinvested in other instruments.

77 | PROSPECTUS

Changing Fixed-Income Market Conditions—Although the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve”) has started to raise interest rates, interest rates in the U.S. and many parts of the world, including certain European countries, remain near historically low levels. To the extent the Federal Reserve continues to raise the federal funds rate, there is a risk that interest rates across the financial system may rise. Very low or negative interest rates may magnify a Fund’s susceptibility to interest rate risk and diminish yield and performance (e.g., during periods of very low or negative interest rates, a Fund may be unable to maintain positive returns). In addition, certain countries have experienced (or may be expected to experience) negative interest rates on certain fixed-income instruments.

Changes in fixed-income market conditions, including the recent increases and potential for future increases to the federal funds rate or negative interest rates, may expose fixed-income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain Fund investments that may be difficult to sell at favorable prices to meet fund redemption obligations, causing the value of a Fund’s investments and NAV per share to decline. A rise in general interest rates may also result in increased redemptions from a Fund. Very low, negative or changing interest rates may also have unpredictable effects on securities markets in general, directly or indirectly impacting a Fund’s investments, yield and performance. Thus, a Fund currently faces a heightened level of interest rate, liquidity and valuation risks.

A Fund that invests in derivatives tied to fixed-income markets may be more substantially exposed to these risks than a fund that does not invest in derivatives. To the extent a Fund experiences high redemptions because of changes in interest rates, the Fund may experience increased portfolio turnover, which will increase the costs that the Fund incurs and may lower the Fund’s performance. The liquidity levels of a Fund's portfolio may also be affected and the Fund could be required to sell holdings at disadvantageous times or prices in order to meet redemption obligations.

Investments by Investing Funds and Other Large Shareholders—Shares of the Funds are offered as an investment to certain other investment companies, large retirement plans and other large investors. The Funds are subject to the risk that a large investor can purchase or redeem a large percentage of Fund shares at any time. To meet large redemption requests, a Fund may have to hold large uninvested cash positions or sell investments to raise the cash needed to satisfy redemption requests at times when it would not otherwise do so. In turn, the Fund’s performance may suffer and the Fund can incur high turnover, brokerage costs, realize gains or losses at inopportune times, lose money or hold a less liquid portfolio. Similarly, large Fund share purchases may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. A Fund may also experience adverse tax consequences as a result of a large shareholder transaction. Under certain circumstances, a Fund may also experience frequent large shareholder transactions.

Investment in Investment Vehicles Risk—Investments in investment companies or other investment vehicles may include index-based unit investment trusts such as Standard & Poor’s Depositary Receipts (“SPDRs”) or other index funds and securities of investment companies that are not index-based, including closed-end funds, mutual funds, affiliated short-term funds or exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and other investment vehicles. Index-based investments sometimes hold substantially all of their assets in securities representing a specific index. A Fund may use index-based investments (including ETFs designed to track an index) as a way of managing its cash position, or to maintain liquidity while gaining exposure to the equity, commodities or fixed-income markets, or a particular sector of such markets, or to seek to avoid losses in declining market conditions. A Fund may invest in index-based investment vehicles for a variety of other reasons, including to obtain exposure to a specific asset class or investment strategy or to seek to enhance return or yield. In addition, an index-based investment vehicle in which a Fund invests may not replicate exactly the composition or performance of the index it seeks to track for a number of reasons, such as operating expenses, transaction costs and imperfect correlation of holdings relative to the index.

A Fund and its shareholders may incur its pro rata share of the expenses of the underlying investment companies or vehicles in which the Fund invests, such as investment advisory and other management expenses, and shareholders will incur the operating expenses of these investment vehicles. In addition, the Fund will be subject to those risks affecting the investment vehicle, including the effects of business and regulatory developments that affect an underlying investment company or vehicle or the investment company industry generally as well as the possibility that the value of the underlying securities held by the investment vehicle could decrease or the portfolio becomes illiquid. Shares of investment vehicles that trade on an exchange may trade at a discount or premium from their net asset value. The purchase of shares of some investment companies (such as closed-end investment companies and ETFs) may require the payment of substantial premiums above the value of such companies' portfolio securities or NAVs.

The Guggenheim StylePlus—Large Core Fund and Guggenheim StylePlus—Mid Growth Fund invest a substantial portion of their assets in investment companies advised by the Investment Manager, or an affiliate of the Investment Manager, that invest in short-term fixed-income or floating rate securities. Investments by the Funds in these investment companies significantly increase the Funds’ exposure to one or more of the following asset categories: (i) a broad range of 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”) or, if unrated, determined by the Investment Manager, to be of comparable quality; (ii) collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), other asset-backed securities and similarly structured debt investments; and (iii) other short-term fixed or floating rate debt securities. Such investments expose the Funds to the risks of these asset categories and decreases in the value of these investments may cause the Funds to deviate from their investment objective. These investment companies are registered open-end investment companies primarily available only to other investment companies and separately managed accounts managed by the Investment Manager and its affiliates. The subscription and redemption activities of these large investors can have a significant adverse effect on these investment companies and thus the Funds. For example, the liquidity of the investment companies can be limited as a result of large redemptions.

An underlying investment vehicle may buy the same securities that another underlying investment vehicle sells. If this happens, an investor in a Fund would indirectly bear the costs of these trades without accomplishing any investment purpose. In addition, certain of the underlying investment vehicles may hold common portfolio positions, thereby reducing the diversification benefits of an asset allocation style. The underlying investment vehicles may engage in investment strategies or invest in specific investments in which a Fund would not engage or invest directly.

The performance of those underlying investment vehicles, in turn, depends upon the performance of the securities in which they invest.

The underlying investment companies or other investment vehicles in which a Fund invests are often institutional funds owned by a small number of shareholders and are thus also subject to the risk that shareholders redeem their shares rapidly, which may adversely affect the performance and liquidity of the underlying investment vehicles and the Fund.

An investment by a Fund in ETFs generally presents the same primary risks as an investment in a mutual fund. In addition, an investment in an ETF may be subject to additional risk, including: the ETF's shares may trade at a discount or premium relative to the net asset value of the shares; an active market may not develop for the ETF's shares; the listing exchange may halt trading of the ETF's shares; the ETF may fail to correctly track the referenced asset (if any); and the ETF may hold troubled securities in the referenced index or basket of investments.

Investment in Loans Risk—Loans, such as syndicated bank loans and other direct lending opportunities, senior floating rate loans, secured and unsecured loans, second lien or more junior loans, bridge loans, revolving credit facilities and unfunded commitments, may incur some of the same risks as other debt securities, such as prepayment risk, credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and risks found with high yield securities. The terms of certain loan agreements may cause certain loans to be particularly sensitive to changes in benchmark interest rates. Although some loans are secured by collateral, the collateral may be difficult to liquidate and the value of the collateral can decline or be insufficient or unavailable to meet the obligation of the borrower. Certain loans have the benefit of restrictive covenants that limit the ability of the borrower to further encumber its assets or incur other debt obligations. To the extent a loan does not have such covenants, an investment in the loan may be particularly sensitive to the risks associated with loan investments. A Fund's interest in a particular loan and/or in particular collateral securing a loan may be subordinate to the interests of other creditors of the obligor. As a result, a loan may not be fully collateralized (and may be uncollateralized) and can decline significantly in value, which may result in the Fund not receiving payments to which it is entitled on a timely basis or at all. In addition, the Fund may have limited rights to exercise remedies against collateral or against an obligor when payments are delayed or missed.

Loans may offer a fixed rate or floating rate of interest. Loans may decline in value if their interest rates do not rise as much or as fast as interest rates in general. In addition, to the extent a Fund holds a loan through a financial intermediary, or relies on a financial intermediary to administer the loan, the Fund's investment, including receipt of principal and interest relating to the loan, will be subject to the credit risk of the intermediary.

Loans are subject to the risk that the scheduled interest or principal payments will not be paid. Lower-rated loans and debt securities (those of less than investment grade quality) involve greater risk of default on interest and principal payments than higher-rated loans and securities. In the event that a non-payment occurs, the value of that obligation likely will decline. Loans and other debt instruments rated below “BBB” category by S&P or “Baa” category by Moody’s or unrated but assessed of similar quality are considered to have speculative characteristics and are commonly referred to as “junk bonds.” Junk bonds entail default and other risks greater than those associated with higher-rated securities.

79 | PROSPECTUS

Loans are vulnerable to market sentiment such that economic conditions or other events may reduce the demand for loans and cause their value to decline rapidly and unpredictably. Many loan interests are subject to restrictions on transfer that may limit the ability of a Fund to sell the interests at an advantageous time or price. Furthermore, while the resale, or secondary, market for loans is growing, it is currently limited. There is no organized exchange or board of trade on which loans are traded. Loans often trade in large denominations (typically $1 million and higher), and trades can be infrequent. The market has limited transparency so that information about actual trades may be difficult to obtain. Accordingly, some of the loans in which a Fund may invest will be relatively illiquid and difficult to value. Loans are often subject to restrictions on resale or assignment. A Fund may have difficulty in disposing of loans in a favorable or timely fashion, which could result in losses to the Fund. Transactions in loans are often subject to long settlement periods (in excess of the standard T+2 days settlement cycle for most securities and often longer than seven days). As a result, sale proceeds potentially will not be available to a Fund to make additional investments or to use proceeds to meet its current redemption obligations. A Fund thus is subject to the risk of selling other investments at disadvantageous times or prices, taking other actions necessary to raise cash to meet its redemption obligations such as borrowing from a bank or holding additional cash.

Loans may be issued in connection with highly leveraged transactions, such as restructurings, leveraged buyouts, leveraged recapitalizations and acquisition financing. In such highly leveraged transactions, the borrower assumes large amounts of debt in order to have the financial resources to attempt to achieve its business objectives. Accordingly, such loans may be part of highly leveraged transactions and involve a significant risk that the borrower may default or go into bankruptcy or become insolvent. Bankruptcy or other court proceedings may delay, limit or negate a Fund's ability to collect payments on its loan investments or otherwise adversely affect a Fund's rights in collateral relating to the loan and a Fund may need to retain legal or similar counsel to help in seeking to enforce its rights. In addition, if a Fund holds certain loans, the Fund may be required to exercise its rights collectively with other creditors or through an agent or other intermediary acting on behalf of multiple creditors, and the value of the Fund's investment may decline or otherwise be adversely affected by delays or other risks associated with such collective procedures.

A Fund values its assets on each Business Day (as defined below). However, because the secondary market for loans is limited and trading may be irregular, they may be difficult to value. Market quotations may not be readily available for some loans or may be volatile and/or subject to large spreads between bid and ask prices, and valuation may require more research than for other securities. In addition, elements of judgment may play a greater role in valuation than for securities with a more active secondary market, because there is less reliable, objective market value data available.

In certain circumstances, the Investment Manager or its affiliates (including on behalf of clients other than a Fund) or a Fund may be in possession of material non-public information about a borrower as a result of its ownership of a loan and/or corporate debt security of a borrower. Because U.S. laws and regulations generally prohibit trading in securities of issuers while in possession of material, non-public information, a Fund might be unable to trade securities or other instruments issued by the borrower when it would otherwise be advantageous to do so and, as such, could incur a loss. In circumstances when the Investment Manager or a Fund determines not to receive non-public information about a borrower for loan investments, the Fund may be disadvantaged relative to other investors and the Fund may not take advantage of other investment opportunities that it may otherwise have. In addition, loans and other similar instruments may not be considered “securities” and, as a result, a Fund may not be entitled to rely on the anti-fraud protections under the federal securities laws and instead may have to resort to state law and direct claims.

The Investment Manager or its affiliates may participate in the primary and secondary market for loans or other transactions with possible borrowers. As a result, a Fund may be legally restricted from acquiring some loans and from participating in a restructuring of a loan or other similar instrument. The Funds are also subject to conflicts of interest that are described in more detail in the SAI.

Large-Capitalization Securities Risk—A Fund may be subject to the risk that large-capitalization securities may underperform other segments of the equity market or the equity market as a whole. Although the securities of larger companies may be less volatile than those of companies with smaller market capitalizations, larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges such as changes in technology and may not be able to attain the high growth rate of smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.

Leverage Risk—The use of derivatives, reverse repurchase agreements, unfunded commitments and borrowings may create leveraging risk. For example, because of the low margin deposits required, futures trading involves an extremely high degree of leverage. As a result, a relatively small price movement in a futures contract may result in an immediate and substantial impact on the net asset value of a Fund. Leveraging may cause a Fund to be more volatile than if it

PROSPECTUS | 80

had not been leveraged. To mitigate leveraging risk and otherwise comply with regulatory requirements, each Fund must segregate or earmark liquid assets to meet its obligations under, or otherwise cover, the transactions that may give rise to this risk. Applicable law limits each Fund from borrowing in an amount greater than 33 1/3% of its assets.

The Funds are permitted to borrow money for certain purposes. To the extent that a Fund purchases securities while it has outstanding borrowings, it is using leverage, i.e., using borrowed funds for investment. Leveraging will exaggerate the effect on the NAV per share of any increase or decrease in the market value of the Fund’s portfolio. Money borrowed for leveraging will be subject to interest and other costs that may or may not be recovered by appreciation of the securities purchased. In addition, if a Fund borrows from a line of credit it will be subject to certain covenants that, if breached, may require the Fund to accelerate its indebtedness and sell portfolio securities when it otherwise would not do so. If a Fund accesses its line of credit to meet shareholder redemption requests, the Fund’s remaining shareholders may bear the cost of the borrowing through interest expenses and other expenses (e.g., commitment fees) that affect the Fund’s performance. Borrowing expenses are excluded from any applicable fee waivers or expense limitation agreements.

Real estate companies may use leverage (and some may be highly leveraged), which increases investment risk and the risks normally associated with debt financing and could adversely affect a real estate company’s operations and market value in periods of rising interest rates. Financial covenants related to a real estate company’s leveraging may affect the ability of the real estate company to operate effectively. In addition, real property may be subject to the quality of credit extended and defaults by borrowers and tenants. If the properties do not generate sufficient income to meet operating expenses, including, where applicable, debt service, ground lease payments, tenant improvements, third-party leasing commissions and other capital expenditures, the income and ability of a real estate company to make payments of any interest and principal on its debt securities will be adversely affected. These risks are especially applicable in conditions of declining real estate values.

Liquidity and Valuation Risk—It may be difficult for a Fund to purchase and sell particular investments within a reasonable time at a favorable price. As a result, a Fund may be unable to achieve its desired level of exposure to certain issuers, asset classes or sectors. The capacity of traditional fixed-income market makers has not kept pace with the consistent growth in the fixed-income markets over the past three decades, which has led to reduced levels in the capacity of these market makers to engage in fixed-income trading and, as a result, dealer inventories of corporate fixed-income and floating rate instruments are at or near historic lows relative to market size. These factors may apply more strongly with respect to high yield fixed-income and floating rate instruments than higher quality fixed-income instruments. Market makers tend to provide stability and liquidity to debt-securities markets through their intermediary services, and their reduced capacity and number could lead to decreased liquidity and increased volatility in the financial markets. As a result, a Fund potentially will be unable to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period because of adverse market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests or other reasons, unless it sells other portfolio investments under unfavorable conditions, thereby adversely impacting the Fund. A Fund's ability to sell an instrument under favorable conditions also may be negatively impacted by, among other things, other market participants selling the same or similar instruments at the same time.

To the extent that there is not an established liquid market for instruments in which a Fund invests, or there is a reduced number or capacity of traditional “market makers” with respect to debt instruments, trading in such instruments may be relatively inactive or irregular. In addition, during periods of reduced market liquidity, market turmoil or in the absence of readily available market quotations for particular investments in a Fund’s portfolio, the ability of the Fund to assign an accurate daily value to these investments may be difficult and a Fund’s Investment Manager may be required to fair value the investments. Fair value determinations are inherently subjective and reflect good faith judgments based on available information. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the determination of a security’s fair value in accordance with the Funds’ valuation procedures will in fact approximate the price at which a Fund could sell that security at that time (i.e., the sale price could differ, sometimes significantly, from the Fund's last valuation for the security). The Funds (or the Investment Managers) rely on various sources of information to value investments and calculate net asset value. The Funds may obtain pricing information from third parties that are believed to be reliable. In certain cases, this information may be unavailable or this information may be inaccurate because of errors by the third parties, technological issues, absence of current market data, or otherwise. As a result, the Funds' ability to effectively value investments or calculate net asset value may be adversely affected.

Investors who purchase or redeem shares of a Fund on days when the Fund is holding fair valued securities may receive fewer or more shares or lower or higher redemption proceeds than they would have received if the Fund had not fair valued the securities or had used a different valuation methodology. These risks may be magnified in a rising interest rate environment and Funds that hold a significant percentage of fair valued or otherwise difficult to value securities may be particularly susceptible to the risks associated with valuation. For additional information about valuation determinations, see “Determination of Net Asset Value.” Proportions of a Fund's investments that are fair valued or

81 | PROSPECTUS

difficult to value vary from time to time. The Funds’ shareholder reports contain detailed information about the Funds’ holdings that are fair valued or difficult to value, including values of these holdings as of the dates of the reports. Investors should consider consulting these reports for detailed information.

Management Risk—Each Fund is subject to management risk because it is an actively managed investment portfolio, which means that investment decisions are made based on investment views. An Investment Manager and each individual portfolio manager will apply investment techniques and risk analysis in making decisions for each Fund, but there is no guarantee that these decisions will produce the desired results or expected returns, causing a Fund to fail to meet its investment objective or underperform its benchmark index or funds with similar investment objectives and strategies. Additionally, legislative, regulatory or tax restrictions, policies or developments may affect the investment techniques available to an Investment Manager and each individual portfolio manager in connection with managing each Fund and may also adversely affect the ability of each Fund to achieve its investment objectives. Active and frequent trading that can accompany active management will increase the costs each Fund incurs because of higher brokerage charges or mark-up charges, which are passed on to shareholders of a Fund and, as a result, may lower a Fund’s performance.

There is no guarantee that the Guggenheim Market Neutral Real Estate Fund will be able to neutralize or limit exposure to general stock market risk. The Fund's use of short sales in combination with its long positions in an attempt to limit direct market exposure and improve performance may be unsuccessful and may result in greater losses or lower positive returns than if the Fund held only long positions. During times when the overall market is performing strongly, the Fund may underperform the market because the Fund's short positions may be more likely to lose money than during other market conditions.

Market Risk—The value of, or income generated by, the securities held by a Fund are subject to the possibility of rapid and unpredictable fluctuation. The value of certain securities (e.g., equity securities) tends to fluctuate more dramatically over the shorter term than do the value of other asset classes. These movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, or from broader influences, including real or perceived changes in prevailing interest rates, changes in inflation or expectations about inflation, investor confidence or economic, political, social or financial market conditions that may be temporary or last for extended periods. Different sectors, industries and security types may react differently to such developments and, when the market performs well, there is no assurance that the securities held by a Fund will increase in value along with the broader markets. For example, the value of a Fund's investments in securities or other instruments may be particularly susceptible to changes in commodity prices. As a result, a change in commodity prices may adversely affect the Fund's investments. Volatility of financial markets can expose a Fund to greater market risk, possibly resulting in reduced liquidity. Moreover, changing economic, political, social or financial market conditions in one country or geographic region could adversely affect the market value of the securities held by a Fund in a different country or geographic region because of the increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets. The Investment Manager potentially will be prevented from executing investment decisions at an advantageous time or price as a result of any domestic or global market disruptions, particularly disruptions causing heightened market volatility and reduced market liquidity. Changes or disruptions in market conditions also may lead to increased regulation of a Fund and the instruments in which a Fund may invest, which may, in turn, affect the Fund’s ability to pursue its investment objective and the Fund’s performance. In general, the securities or other instruments in which a Fund’s Portfolio Managers believe represent an attractive investment opportunity or in which a Fund seeks to invest may be unavailable entirely or in the specific quantities sought by the Fund. As a result, a Fund may need to obtain the desired exposure through a less advantageous investment, forgo the investment at the time or seek to replicate the desired exposure through a derivative transaction or investment in an investment vehicle. This may adversely affect a Fund.

Mid-Capitalization Securities Risk—A Fund may be subject to the risk that mid-capitalization securities may underperform other segments of the equity market or the equity market as a whole. Securities of mid-capitalization companies may experience much more price volatility, greater spreads between their bid and ask prices and significantly lower trading volumes than securities issued by large, more established companies. Accordingly, it may be difficult for a Fund to sell mid-capitalization securities at a desired time or price. Mid-capitalization companies tend to have inexperienced management as well as limited product and market diversification and financial resources. Mid-capitalization companies have more speculative prospects for future growth, sustained earnings and market share than large companies, and may be more vulnerable to adverse economic, market or industry developments than large capitalization companies.

Non-Diversification Risk—A non-diversified Fund may hold larger positions in a smaller number of securities than a diversified fund. As a result, a non-diversified Fund’s performance may depend on the performance of a small number of issuers and the Fund may be more susceptible to risks associated with and adverse developments affecting a single issuer, including changes in the market value of the issuer’s securities and unfavorable market and economic

PROSPECTUS | 82

developments. These events could cause a greater impact on a non-diversified Fund’s net asset value and total return (e.g., greater losses) and volatility than a more diversified portfolio.

Preferred Securities Risk—Preferred stock represents an equity interest in a company that generally entitles the holder to receive, in preference to the holders of other stocks such as common stocks, dividends and a fixed share of the proceeds resulting from a liquidation of the company. Preferred stocks may pay fixed or adjustable rates of return. Preferred stock is subject to issuer-specific and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. In addition, a company’s preferred stock generally pays dividends (if declared) only after the company makes required payments to holders of its bonds and other debt. For this reason, the value of preferred stock will usually react more strongly than bonds and other debt to actual or perceived changes in the company’s financial condition or prospects.

Preferred stock has properties of both an equity and a debt instrument and is generally considered a hybrid instrument. Preferred stock is senior to common stock, but is subordinate to bonds in terms of claims or rights to their share of the assets of the company.

Prepayment Risk—The issuers of securities held by a Fund may be able to prepay principal due on the securities, particularly during periods of declining interest rates. Securities subject to prepayment risk generally offer less potential for gains when interest rates decline, and may offer a greater potential for loss when interest rates rise. In addition, rising interest rates may cause prepayments to occur at a slower than expected rate, thereby effectively lengthening the maturity of the security and making the security more sensitive to interest rate changes as well as limiting the ability of a Fund to invest in securities with higher interest rates. Prepayment risk is a major risk of certain asset-backed securities, including mortgage-backed securities.

Most floating rate loans (such as syndicated bank loans) and fixed-income securities allow for prepayment of principal without penalty. Accordingly, the potential for the value of a floating rate loan or security to increase in response to interest rate declines is limited. Corporate loans or fixed-income securities purchased to replace a prepaid corporate loan or security may have lower yields than the yield on the prepaid corporate loan or security.

Quantitative Model Risk—There is no guarantee that a quantitative model or algorithm used by the Investment Manager, and the investments selected based on the model or algorithm, will produce the desired results or enable the Fund to achieve its investment objective. The Fund may be adversely affected by imperfections, errors or limitations in the construction and implementation of the model (for example, data imprecision or unavailability, software or other technology malfunctions, or programming inaccuracies) and the Investment Manager’s ability to timely adjust the metrics or update the data underlying the model or features of the algorithm. A model that has been formulated on the basis of past market data may not be predictive of future price movements. The Fund may also be adversely affected by the Investment Manager’s ability to make accurate qualitative judgments regarding the quantitative model’s output or operational complications relating to any algorithm.

Real Estate Investments Risk—The Guggenheim Risk Managed Real Estate Fund and Guggenheim Market Neutral Real Estate Fund may invest in securities of real estate companies and companies related to the real estate industry, including real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), which are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate. These risks include: losses from casualty or condemnation; changes in national, state and local economic conditions (such as the turmoil experienced during 2007 through 2009 in the residential and commercial real estate market); changes in real estate values and rental income, rising interest rates (which could result in higher costs of capital); changes in building, environmental, zoning and other laws; regulatory limitations on rents; property taxes; operating expenses; overbuilding, construction delays and the supply of real estate generally; extended vacancies of properties due to economic conditions and tenant bankruptcies; and catastrophic events such as earthquakes, hurricanes and terrorist acts. Investments in real estate companies and companies related to the real estate industry are also subject to risks associated with the management skill, insurance coverage and credit worthiness of the issuer. Real estate companies tend to have micro-, small- or mid-capitalization, making their securities more volatile and less liquid than those of companies with larger-capitalizations. In addition, the real estate industry has historically been cyclical and particularly sensitive to economic downturns.

Real estate income and values also may be greatly affected by demographic trends, such as population shifts or changing tastes and values, or increasing vacancies or declining rents resulting from legal, cultural, technological, global or local economic developments.

The value or price of real estate company securities may drop because of, among other adverse events, the failure of borrowers to repay their loans and the inability to obtain financing either on favorable terms or at all. If real estate properties do not generate sufficient income to meet operating expenses, including, where applicable, debt service, ground lease payments, tenant improvements, third-party leasing commissions and other capital expenditures, the income and ability (or perceived ability) of a real estate company to make payments of interest and principal on their loans will be adversely affected, which, as a result, may adversely affect the Fund. Many real estate companies utilize

83 | PROSPECTUS

leverage, which increases investment risk and could adversely affect a company’s operations and market value in periods of rising interest rates.

Regulatory and Legal Risk—A Fund's activities may be limited or restricted because of laws and regulations applicable to the Fund or the Investment Manager. U.S. and non-U.S. governmental agencies and other regulators regularly implement additional regulations and legislators pass new laws that affect the investments held by a Fund, the strategies used by a Fund or the level of regulation or taxation applying to a Fund (such as regulations related to investments in derivatives and other transactions). These regulations and laws impact the investment strategies, performance, costs and operations of a Fund, as well as the way investments in, and shareholders of, a Fund are taxed. The SEC's rules intended to limit, assess and manage liquidity risk may materially affect the securities in which a Fund invests and a Fund's investment strategies and performance.

REIT Risk—REITs are exposed to the risks affecting real estate investments generally in addition to other investment risks. The value of a REIT can depend on the structure of and cash flow generated by the REIT. REITs may invest in a limited number of properties, a narrow geographic area, or a single type of property, which may increase the risk that the Guggenheim Risk Managed Real Estate Fund and Guggenheim Market Neutral Real Estate Fund could be unfavorably affected by the poor performance of a single investment or investment type. A REIT may be more volatile and/or less liquid than other types of equity securities. Because REITs are pooled investment vehicles that have expenses of their own, the Fund and its shareholders will indirectly bear its proportionate share of expenses paid by each REIT in which it invests. REITs are also subject to unique federal tax requirements. A REIT that fails to comply with federal tax requirements affecting REITs may be subject to federal income taxation, which may affect the value of the REIT and the characterization of the REIT's distributions, and a REIT that fails to comply with the federal tax requirement that a REIT distribute substantially all of its net income to its shareholders may result in a REIT having insufficient capital for future expenditures. The failure of a company to qualify as a REIT could have adverse consequences for the Fund, including significantly reducing return to the Fund on its investment in such company. In the event of a default of an underlying borrower or lessee, a REIT could experience delays in enforcing its rights as a mortgagee or lessor and may incur substantial costs associated with protecting its investments.

Investments in REIT equity securities may require the Fund to accrue and distribute income not yet received. In order to generate sufficient cash to make the requisite distributions, the Fund may be required to sell securities in its portfolio (including when it is not advantageous to do so) that it otherwise would have continued to hold. The Fund’s investments in REIT equity securities may at other times result in the Fund’s receipt of cash in excess of the REIT’s earnings; if the Fund distributes such amounts, such distribution could constitute a return of capital to Fund shareholders for federal income tax purposes. Dividends received by a Fund from a REIT generally will not constitute qualified dividend income.

REITs often do not provide complete tax information to the funds until after the calendar year-end. Consequently, because of the delay, it may be necessary for the Fund to request permission from the IRS to extend the deadline for issuance of Forms 1099-DIV.

Repurchase Agreements and Reverse Repurchase Agreements Risk—In the event of the insolvency of the counterparty to a repurchase agreement or reverse repurchase agreement, recovery of the repurchase price owed to a Fund or, in the case of a reverse repurchase agreement, the securities sold by a Fund, may be delayed. In a repurchase agreement, such an insolvency may result in a loss to the extent that the value of the purchased securities decreases during the delay or that value has otherwise not been maintained at an amount equal to the repurchase price. In a reverse repurchase agreement, the counterparty's insolvency may result in a loss equal to the amount by which the value of the securities sold by a Fund exceeds the repurchase price payable by a Fund; if the value of the purchased securities increases during such a delay, that loss may also be increased. When a Fund enters into a reverse repurchase agreement, any fluctuations in the market value of either the securities transferred to another party or the securities in which the proceeds may be invested would affect the market value of a Fund’s assets. As a result, such transactions may increase fluctuations in the net asset value of a Fund’s shares. Because reverse repurchase agreements may be considered to be the practical equivalent of borrowing funds, they constitute a form of leverage. If a Fund reinvests the proceeds of a reverse repurchase agreement at a rate lower than the cost of the agreement, entering into the agreement will lower the Fund’s yield and the amount of exempt-interest dividends that may be paid by the Fund. The credit, liquidity and other risks associated with repurchase agreements are magnified to the extent a repurchase agreement is secured by collateral other than cash, government securities or liquid securities or instruments issued by an issuer that has an exceptionally strong credit quality.

Restricted Securities Risk—Restricted securities cannot be sold to the public without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“1933 Act”). Unless registered for sale, restricted securities can be sold only in privately negotiated transactions or pursuant to an exemption from registration. Restricted securities may be considered illiquid and, therefore, are subject to a Fund’s limitation on illiquid securities. There is no guarantee that a trading market

PROSPECTUS | 84

will exist at any time for a particular restricted security. Thus, a Fund may be unable to sell these securities at an advantageous time or at all.

Restricted securities may involve a high degree of business and financial risk, which may result in substantial losses. These securities may be less liquid and more difficult to value than publicly traded securities. Although these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized from these sales could be less than those originally paid by a Fund. A Fund may invest in restricted securities, including securities initially offered and sold without registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the 1933 Act (“Rule 144A Securities”) and securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers initially offered and sold outside the United States without registration with the SEC pursuant to Regulation S under the 1933 Act (“Regulation S Securities”). Rule 144A Securities and Regulation S Securities generally may be traded freely among certain qualified institutional investors, such as a Fund, and non-U.S. persons, but resale to a broader base of investors in the United States may be permitted only in significantly more limited circumstances. A Fund may bear certain costs associated with the resale of these securities and may be subject to delays in being permitted to sell these holdings.

Investing in Rule 144A Securities and other restricted and non-registered securities (such as privately placed securities purchased through transactions complying with the requirements in Regulation D or S under the 1933 Act) could have the effect of increasing the amount of a Fund’s assets invested in illiquid securities to the extent that qualified institutional buyers become uninterested, for a time, in purchasing these securities.

Sector Emphasis Risk—If a Fund invests a significant amount of its assets in any one sector, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector and there is increased risk that the Fund will lose value if conditions adversely affect that sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations as a result of changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other sectors. Such issuers may also react similarly to these developments or conditions. To the extent a Fund is heavily invested in a particular sector, the Fund’s share price may be more volatile than the value of shares of a mutual fund that invests in a broader range of sectors. The Funds’ shareholder reports contain information about the Funds’ holdings, including exposures to sectors. Investors should consider consulting these reports for more information.

Sector Emphasis Risk-Financial Sector Risk—The financial sector can be significantly affected by changes in interest rates, government regulation, the rate of defaults on corporate, consumer and government debt, the availability and cost of capital, and the impact of more stringent capital requirements. Financial services companies are subject to extensive governmental regulation which may limit both the amounts and types of loans and other financial commitments they can make, the interest rates and fees they can charge, the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds, and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition. A Fund may be adversely affected by events or developments negatively impacting the financial sector. For example, events in the financial sector may cause an unusually high degree of volatility in the financial markets, both domestic and foreign, and cause certain financial services companies, including banks, to incur losses. If a Fund focuses its investments in banks or bank-related companies, the Fund will be sensitive to adverse developments in the banking industry (domestic or foreign). Banks can be particularly susceptible to, among other things, adverse legislative, regulatory and monetary policy changes, interest rate movements, the availability of capital and cost to borrow, the rate of debt defaults, and developments in the real estate market.

Sector Emphasis Risk-Technology Stocks Risk—Stocks of companies in the technology sector, including information technology companies, may be very volatile. The potential for wide variation in performance is based on the special risks and challenges common to these companies, including, among other things, worldwide competition, consumer preferences, product compatibility, high cost of research and development of new products, issues with obtaining financing or regulatory approvals and excessive investor optimism or pessimism. For example, products or services that at first appear promising may not prove commercially successful or may become obsolete quickly. Company earnings disappointments can result in sharp stock price declines. A Fund may be adversely affected by events or developments negatively impacting the technology sector or issuers within the technology sector. The level of risk will be increased to the extent that a Fund has significant exposure to smaller or unseasoned companies (those with less than a three-year operating history), which may not have established products or more experienced management.

85 | PROSPECTUS

the borrowed security may rise, thereby increasing the price at which the security must be purchased. A Fund may not always be able to close out a short position at a particular time or at an acceptable price. A lender may request that borrowed securities be returned to it on short notice, and a Fund may have to buy the borrowed securities at an unfavorable price, resulting in a loss. Short sales also subject a Fund to risks related to the lender (such as bankruptcy risks) or the general risk that the lender does not comply with its obligations. The risk of loss through a short sale or other short exposure may in some cases be theoretically unlimited. The use of short sales may cause a Fund to have higher expenses than those of equity mutual funds that do not engage in short sales, including the cost of paying the lender an amount equal to any dividends on the borrowed securities. Government actions also may affect the Funds' ability to engage in short selling.

Small-Capitalization Securities Risk—A Fund may be subject to the risk that small-capitalization securities may underperform other segments of the equity market or the equity market as a whole. Securities of small-capitalization companies may experience much more price volatility, greater spreads between their bid and ask prices and significantly lower trading volumes than securities issued by larger, more established companies. Accordingly, it may be difficult for a Fund to sell small-capitalization securities at a desired time or price. Small-capitalization companies tend to have inexperienced management as well as limited product and market diversification and financial resources. Small-capitalization companies have more speculative prospects for future growth, sustained earnings and market share than larger companies, and may be more vulnerable to adverse economic, market or industry developments than mid- or large-capitalization companies.

Tax Risk—A Fund must derive at least 90% of its gross income each taxable year from qualifying sources in order to qualify for favorable tax treatment as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). This requirement will limit the ability of a Fund to invest in items that could result in nonqualifying income. Legislative or administrative changes or court decisions relating to the Code may adversely affect a Fund and/or the issuers of securities held by a Fund.

U.S. Government Securities Risk—Different types of U.S. government securities have different relative levels of credit risk depending on the nature of the particular government support for that security. U.S. government securities may be supported by: (i) the full faith and credit of the United States government; (ii) the ability of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury; (iii) the credit of the issuing agency, instrumentality or government-sponsored entity; (iv) pools of assets (e.g., mortgage-backed securities); or (v) the United States in some other way. The U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities do not guarantee the market value of their securities, which may fluctuate in value and are subject to investment risks, and certain U.S. government securities may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government. The value of U.S. government obligations may be adversely affected by changes in interest rates. It is possible that the issuers of some U.S. government securities will not have the funds to timely meet their payment obligations in the future and there is a risk of default. For certain agency issued securities, there is no guarantee the U.S. government will support the agency if it is unable to meet its obligations.

Value Stocks Risk—Investments in value stocks are subject to the risk that their intrinsic values may never be realized by the market or that their prices may go down. While the Funds’ investments in value stocks may limit downside risk over time, a Fund may, as a trade-off, produce more modest gains than riskier stock funds.

Zero Coupon Securities Risk—When zero coupon securities, which pay no cash income and are sold at substantial discounts from their value at maturity, are held to maturity, their entire income comes from the difference between the issue price and their value at maturity. Zero coupon securities, which are convertible into common stock, offer the opportunity for capital appreciation as increases (or decreases) in the market value of such securities closely follows the market value of the underlying common stock. The volatility of zero coupon securities is generally expected to be less than the volatility of the underlying common stock, as zero coupon securities usually are issued with maturities of 15 years or less and are issued with options and/or redemption features exercisable by the holder of the obligation entitling the holder to redeem the obligation and receive a defined cash payment. Zero coupon securities are subject to greater market value fluctuations from changing interest rates and may be less liquid than debt obligations of comparable maturities, which make current distributions of interest (cash).

The SAI describes the Funds’ principal investment risks in more detail and also describes other risks applicable to the Funds. The additional risks include the following:

Cyber Security and Operational Risk—The Funds and their service providers are susceptible to risks resulting from and related to cyber-attacks, including the theft, destruction, or corruption and denial of access to data maintained online or digitally, denial of service on websites and other disruptions. Successful cyber-attacks may adversely impact the Funds and their shareholders by, among other things, interfering with the processing of shareholder transactions, impacting a Fund’s ability to calculate its net asset value, causing the release of private shareholder information or confidential Fund information, impeding trading, causing reputational damage, and subjecting a Fund to fines, penalties or financial losses. A Fund’s investments or its service providers may be negatively impacted because of

PROSPECTUS | 86

operational risks arising from factors such as processing errors, human errors, and other technological issues, which may adversely affect the Funds’ ability to calculate their net asset values in a timely manner, including over a potentially extended period. A Fund and its shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result.

Securities Lending Risk—Securities lending involves the lending of portfolio securities owned by a Fund to qualified borrowers, including broker-dealers and financial institutions. Therefore, loans of securities involve the risk that the borrower may fail to return the securities or deliver the proper amount of collateral, which may result in a loss to a Fund. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy of the borrower, a Fund could experience losses or delays in recovering the loaned securities. In some cases, these risks may be mitigated by an indemnification provided by the Fund’s lending agent. When lending portfolio securities, a Fund initially will require the borrower to provide the Fund with collateral, most commonly cash, which the Fund will invest. Although the Fund invests this collateral in a conservative manner, it is possible that it could lose money from such an investment or fail to earn sufficient income from its investment to cover the fee or rebate that it has agreed to pay the borrower.

A Fund may have “Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver” greater than the expense cap as a result of any acquired fund fees and expenses or other expenses that are excluded from the calculation. An Investment Manager is entitled to reimbursement by a Fund for certain fees waived or expenses reimbursed during any of the previous 36 months beginning on the date of the expense limitation agreement.

The SAI provides information about each portfolio manager's compensation, other accounts managed by each portfolio manager, and each portfolio manager's ownership of Fund shares.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

An investment in a Fund is subject to a number of actual or potential conflicts of interest. For example, the Investment Managers and their affiliates are engaged in a variety of business activities that are unrelated to managing the Funds, which may give rise to actual, potential or perceived conflicts of interest in connection with making investment decisions for the Funds. The Funds and Investment Managers (and their affiliates) have established various policies and procedures that are designed to minimize conflicts and prevent or limit the Funds from being disadvantaged. There can be no guarantee that these policies and procedures will be successful in every instance. In certain circumstances, these various activities may prevent a Fund from participating or restrict a Fund’s participation in an investment decision, disadvantage a Fund or benefit an Investment Manager or its affiliates. For more information about conflicts of interest see the Information Regarding Potential Conflicts of Interest section of the SAI.

Sub-Advisers

Although the Funds are not currently sub-advised, the Investment Managers and the Funds have received from the SEC an exemptive order for a multi manager structure that allows the Investment Managers to hire, replace or terminate unaffiliated sub-advisers without the approval of shareholders. The order also allows the Investment Managers to revise a sub-advisory agreement with an unaffiliated sub-adviser with the approval of the Funds’ Board of Trustees, but without shareholder approval. If a new unaffiliated sub-adviser is hired, shareholders will receive information about the new sub-adviser within 90 days of the change. The order allows the Funds to operate more efficiently and with greater flexibility. The Investment Managers would provide the following oversight and evaluation services if a Fund uses a sub-adviser:


•	Performing initial due diligence on prospective sub-advisers for the Funds;


•	Monitoring the performance of the sub-advisers;


•	Communicating performance expectations to the sub-advisers; and


•	Ultimately recommending to the Board of Trustees whether a sub-adviser’s contract should be renewed, modified or terminated.

The Investment Managers do not expect to recommend frequent changes of any future sub-advisers. Although the Investment Managers will monitor the performance of any sub-advisers, there is no certainty that a sub-adviser or Fund will obtain favorable results at any given time.

Buying, Selling and Exchanging Fund Shares

Each share class of a Fund represents an interest in the same portfolio of securities but has its own eligibility criteria, fee and expense and cost structure and other features. You may not be eligible for each share class. Please consider your specific financial situation when selecting a share class for investment and evaluate factors you deem relevant to your investment decision, which may include, among others, how much you plan to invest, how long you plan to remain invested, the expenses of the share class and whether you qualify for a reduction or waiver of an applicable sales charge. You may wish to consult your financial advisor when deciding which class of shares to buy.

The Funds and the Distributor do not provide investment advice or recommendations or any form of tax or legal advice to existing or potential shareholders with respect to investment transactions involving the Funds.

Each Fund reserves the right to waive the minimum initial investment amount of $2 million or to grant other investors eligibility to invest in the shares of the Fund at their discretion.

The Institutional Class of each Fund has a minimum account balance of $1 million. Due to the relatively high cost of maintaining accounts below the minimum account balance, the Fund reserves the right to redeem shares if an account balance falls below the minimum account balance for any reason. Investors will be given 60 days advance notice to reestablish the minimum account balance. If the account balance is not increased, the account may be closed and the proceeds sent to the investor. Fund shares will be redeemed at net asset value (“NAV”) on the day the account is closed.

A shareholder currently holding Class A or Class C shares of a Fund in a fee-based advisory program sponsored by Merrill Lynch (“Advisory Program”) may convert such shares to Institutional Class shares of the same Fund within the Advisory Program. In addition, if a shareholder currently holds Class A or Class C shares of a Fund in a brokerage account and transfers such shares to an Advisory Program, the shareholder may convert the shares to Institutional Class shares of the same Fund. Such conversions will occur at the net asset value per share, without requiring any investment minimum to be met and without the imposition of any redemption fee or other charge. If a CDSC is applicable to such Class A or Class C shares, then the conversion generally may not occur until after the shareholder has held the shares for a 12 month period, except that a CDSC applicable to Class A and Class C shares converted to Institutional Class shares through an individual retirement account and certain other accounts on the Merrill Lynch platform will be waived. With respect to such waiver, Merrill Lynch will pay a portion of the CDSC to the Distributor. Please ask your financial advisor if you are eligible for converting your Class A and/or Class C shares to Institutional Class shares pursuant to these conversion features. It is anticipated that such conversions generally would be treated as a non-taxable event. Please consult your tax advisor for more information.

The investor eligibility requirements, the minimum initial investment and account balance requirements for Institutional Class shares may be amended from time to time as reflected in each Fund’s then-current prospectus and SAI.

Class P

Class P shares of a Fund are offered through broker/dealers and other financial intermediaries with which the Distributor has an agreement for the use of Class P shares of the Fund in investment products, programs or accounts. Class P shares do not have a minimum initial investment amount, subsequent investment amount or a minimum account balance. A Fund reserves the right to modify the minimum investment amount and account balance requirements at any time, with or without prior notice to you. The minimum investment amount and minimum account balance required by your financial intermediary may be different. Please contact your financial intermediary for details.

Class P shares of a Fund are available only to investors purchasing shares through broker/dealers and other financial intermediaries that have specific agreements with the Distributor, including:


•	Authorized no transaction fee platforms;


•	Authorized fee-based programs of financial intermediaries;


•	Authorized registered investment advisers and discretionary managed account programs;


•	Authorized banks, trust company, broker/dealers, or other financial organizations that charge an advisory fee, management fee, consulting fee, fee in lieu of brokerage commissions or other similar fee for their services;


•	Authorized retirement platforms of financial intermediaries; and


•	Other authorized intermediaries approved by the Distributor.

Any investor eligibility requirements for Class P shares may be amended from time to time as reflected in each Fund’s then-current prospectus and SAI.

Class P shares of a Fund will be held in an account at a financial intermediary. The Transfer Agent will have no information with respect to or control over an account of a shareholder of Class P shares of a Fund. A shareholder may obtain information about an account only through its financial intermediary, which generally will hold the shareholder’s Class P shares as the shareholder’s agent in nominee or street name.

OPENING YOUR ACCOUNT (Class A, Class C and Institutional Class Only)

You will need to open a Guggenheim Investments shareholder account to make Class A, Class C and Institutional Class share transactions—buy, sell or exchange Class A, Class C and Institutional Class shares of the Funds. You can obtain an account application or request more information about opening an account by calling Guggenheim Investments Client Services at 800.820.0888 or 301.296.5100. You may also visit www.guggenheiminvestments.com/forms to access “Mutual Fund Forms & Applications.”

The type of application you will need depends on the type of account you want to open. For example, if you are opening a retirement account, you will need to complete a different application than you would if you were opening a taxable account. When you call Guggenheim Investments to request an account application, be sure to let the Client Services representative know what type of account you want to open to ensure that you receive the correct application.

If you open your account through a broker or other financial intermediary, your financial intermediary will ordinarily assist you in completing the necessary application to open your account with Guggenheim Investments.

TIPS TO SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE YOUR ACCOUNT APPLICATION (Class A, Class C and Institutional Class Only)


•	You must provide each account holder’s social security number or tax ID number and date of birth on the application to avoid a delay in processing.


•	Attach a copy of the trust document when establishing a trust account.

•

When establishing an account for your corporation, partnership or self directed retirement plan, please indicate the correct account type to ensure proper tax reporting and provide a copy of one of the following documents: registered articles of incorporation, government-issued business license, partnership papers, plan documents or other official documentation that verifies the entity and lists the authorized individuals. Failure to provide this documentation may result in a delay in processing your application.


•	You must provide a street address (Guggenheim Investments does not accept P.O. Box only addresses). If any joint owner has a different address than the account registration, please indicate what it is on the application.


•	Be sure to sign the application.


•	If you open an account directly with Guggenheim Investments, you will receive a confirmation statement by mail confirming your initial purchase. Review this confirmation carefully to ensure that all of the information is correct. Notify us promptly of any errors.


•	Any application that is sent to the Transfer Agent does not constitute a purchase order until the Transfer Agent processes the application and receives correct payment by check, wire transfer or ACH.

TRANSACTION INFORMATION

This section provides important information about the procedures that you must follow when you buy, sell or exchange shares of the Funds. You may submit transaction orders to buy, sell or exchange Fund shares on any day that the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) is open for business (“Business Day”). Each Fund's NAV generally is calculated as of the close of normal trading on each Business Day (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time). On any day that the NYSE has an earlier closing time (scheduled or unscheduled)-or as otherwise permitted by the SEC-the Fund reserves the right to: (i) advance the time the NAV is calculated and, correspondingly, the time by which purchase and redemption orders must be received or (ii) accept purchase and redemption orders until (and calculate its NAV as of) the normally scheduled close of regular trading on the NYSE for that day. The Funds generally do not accept purchase and redemption orders (or calculate their respective NAVs) on days that the NYSE is closed for business (scheduled or unscheduled). On any day that the NYSE is closed when it would normally be open for business, the Fund may accept purchase and redemption orders until (and calculate its NAV as of) the normally scheduled close of regular trading on the NYSE. On any day that the Fund calculates NAV earlier than normal, Guggenheim Investments reserves the right to advance the time on that day by which shareholder transaction orders must be received. The NYSE holiday schedule is included in the SAI, and Guggenheim Investments will post advance notice of scheduled early closings at www.guggenheiminvestments.com.

PROSPECTUS | 94

TRANSACTION CUT-OFF TIMES

All shareholder transaction orders are processed at the NAV next determined after your transaction order is received with all of the necessary information, sometimes referred to as “good order,” by the Funds’ Transfer Agent, Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC (the "Distributor"), or financial intermediary. The following transaction cut-off times have been established in order to allow the Transfer Agent appropriate time to report the current day’s trading activity to the Investment Manager. Any purchase transaction that is sent to the Transfer Agent does not constitute a purchase order until received by the Transfer Agent in good order.




Method		Cut-Off Time
By Mail		Market Close
By Phone		Market Close
By Internet		Market Close
By Financial Intermediary		Market Close*


*	Each financial intermediary may have its own rules about share transactions, and may have earlier cut-off times for processing your transaction order.

TRANSACTIONS THROUGH YOUR FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARY

If you are a shareholder of Class A, Class C or Institutional Class shares and you opened your account through a financial intermediary, you will ordinarily submit your transaction orders through that financial intermediary. If you are a shareholder of Class P shares and you opened your account through a financial intermediary, you will submit your transaction orders through that financial intermediary. Your financial intermediary is responsible for ensuring that your transaction order is in good order, and promptly transmitting your order to the Funds. Transaction orders received in good order by your financial intermediary, which requires that the financial intermediary receives your order before the financial intermediary’s cut off time, will be processed at the Fund’s next determined NAV. Financial intermediaries may charge fees for the services they provide to you in connection with processing your transaction order or maintaining your account with them. Each financial intermediary may also have its own rules about minimum initial investment amounts, minimum account balances, share transactions and limits on the number of share transactions you are permitted to make in a given time period. Authorized financial intermediaries of the Funds may also designate further intermediaries to accept purchase and redemption orders on behalf of the Funds. For more information about your financial intermediary’s rules and procedures, you should contact your financial intermediary directly.

When purchasing shares through a financial intermediary, you may not benefit from certain policies and procedures of the Funds as your eligibility may be dependent upon the policies and procedures of your financial intermediary, including those regarding reductions of sales charges and other features of the share class. In all instances, it is your responsibility to notify your financial intermediary of any relationship or other facts that may qualify your investment for sales charge waivers or other features.

An investor transacting in Institutional Class shares may be required to pay a commission to a broker in connection with transactions in Institutional Class shares. The Funds make available other share classes that have different fees and expenses, which are disclosed and described in the prospectus for the applicable share class.

Sales Charges

The availability of sales charge waivers and discounts may depend on the particular intermediary or type of account through which you purchase or hold Fund shares. The Funds' sales charge waivers and discounts disclosed below in this Prospectus are available for qualifying purchases made directly from the Distributor and are generally available through financial intermediaries, unless otherwise specified in Appendix A to this Prospectus (Intermediary-Specific Sales Charge Waivers and Discounts). The sales charge waivers and discounts available through certain other financial intermediaries are set forth in Appendix A to this Prospectus, which may differ from those available for purchases made directly from the Distributor or certain other financial intermediaries. Please contact your financial intermediary for more information regarding sales charge waivers and discounts and the financial intermediary's related policies and procedures, including information regarding eligibility requirements for waivers or discounts that may be available to you.

95 | PROSPECTUS

CLASS A SHARES

Class A shares are sold at NAV plus the applicable initial sales charge. The sales charge is used to pay your financial intermediary a sales commission up to a total of 4.75% of the purchase price of your investment in connection with your initial purchase. The NAV plus the sales charge is the “offering price.” However, in some cases, described below, your purchase may not be subject to an initial sales charge, and the offering price will be the NAV. In other cases, you may be eligible for a reduced sales charge. The sales charge varies depending on the amount of your purchase. The Funds make available (free of charge) information regarding sales charge waivers and discounts at www.guggenheiminvestments.com/mf/share-class-information. The information contained in or otherwise accessible through guggenheiminvestments.com does not form part of this Prospectus.

The current sales charge rates are as follows:



Amount of Investment	Sales Charge as % of Offering Price	Sales Charge as % of Net Amount Invested
Less than $100,000	4.75%	4.99%
$100,000 but less than $250,000	3.75%	3.90%
$250,000 but less than $500,000	2.75%	2.83%
$500,000 but less than $1,000,000	2.00%	2.04%
$1,000,000 or greater	None*	None*

For investments of $1 million or more, Class A shares are sold at NAV, without any up-front sales charge. However, if you sell your shares within 12 months of purchase, you will normally have to pay a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) based on your initial purchase price or current market value, whichever is lower. The CDSC is used to reimburse the Distributor for paying your financial intermediary a sales commission up to a total of 1.00% of the purchase price of your investment in connection with your initial purchase. For more information about whether your financial intermediary has entered into such an arrangement, contact your financial intermediary directly.

You may obtain more information from the SAI or from your financial intermediary about available share classes and the sales charges and sales charge reductions and waivers described in this Prospectus or Appendix A - Intermediary-Specific Sales Charge Waivers and Discounts, including eligibility requirements for sales charge waivers or discounts that may be available to you.

HOW TO REDUCE YOUR SALES CHARGE

You may be eligible to purchase Class A shares for reduced sales charges. To qualify for these reductions, you or your financial intermediary must provide sufficient information, in writing and at the time of purchase, to verify that your purchase qualifies for such treatment. You are responsible for notifying your financial intermediary of any facts that may qualify you for a sales charge waiver or discount. For additional information, including information on aggregating purchases among related accounts to receive reduced sales charges, see the SAI. Consistent with the policies described in this Prospectus, you and your family may combine your Fund holdings to reduce your sales charge.

•

Rights of Accumulation—To qualify for the lower sales charge rates that apply to larger purchases of Class A shares, you may combine your new purchases of Class A shares with Class A shares or Class C shares of any series of Transparent Value Trust, Rydex Series Funds, Rydex Dynamic Funds and Guggenheim Funds Trust (some of which are offered in a separate prospectus) that you already own. Current share value may be more or less than at the time of purchase due to price fluctuations and account activity. The applicable initial sales charge for the new purchase is based on the total of your current purchase and the current value of all other Class A and Class C shares that you own. Additionally, you may combine simultaneous purchases of Class A shares of one series of Transparent Value Trust, Rydex Series Funds, Rydex Dynamic Funds, or Guggenheim Funds Trust with Class A shares of any other series of Transparent Value Trust, Rydex Series Funds, Rydex Dynamic Funds, or Guggenheim Funds Trust to reduce the sales charge rate that applies to the purchase of Class A shares of any series of Transparent Value Trust, Rydex Series Funds, Rydex Dynamic Funds, or Guggenheim Funds Trust. The reduced sales charge will apply only to current purchases and must be requested in writing when you buy your shares.

•

Letters of Intent—Under a Letter of Intent (“LOI”), you commit to purchase a specified dollar amount of Class A shares of any series of Transparent Value Trust, Rydex Series Funds, Rydex Dynamic Funds, or Guggenheim Funds Trust during a 13-month period. At your written request, Class A share purchases made during the previous 90 days may be included. The amount you agree to purchase determines the initial sales charge you pay. If the full-face amount of the LOI is not invested by the end of the 13-month period, your account will be adjusted to the higher initial sales charge level for the amount actually invested. You are not legally bound by the terms of your LOI to purchase the amount of your shares stated in the LOI. The LOI does, however, authorize the Funds to hold in escrow 4% of the total amount you intend to purchase. If you do not complete the total intended purchase at the end of the 13-month period, the Funds’ Transfer Agent will redeem the necessary portion of the escrowed shares to make up the difference between the reduced rate sales charge (based on the amount you intended to purchase) and the sales charge that would normally apply (based on the actual amount you purchased).

PROSPECTUS | 96

A LOI may be revised during the 13-month period. Additional Class A shares acquired through reinvestment of income dividends and capital gains distributions are not applied to the LOI. A LOI may be obtained from the Funds.

•

Reinstatement Privilege—If you have redeemed Class A shares of any series of Transparent Value Trust, Rydex Series Funds, Rydex Dynamic Funds, or Guggenheim Funds Trust within the past 90 days, you may repurchase an equivalent amount of Class A shares of any series of Transparent Value Trust, Rydex Series Funds, Rydex Dynamic Funds, or Guggenheim Funds Trust at NAV, without the normal front-end sales charge. In effect, this allows you to reacquire shares that you may have had to redeem, without re-paying the front-end sales charge. You must notify the Funds that you intend to exercise the reinstatement privilege in writing. The Funds are generally required to receive your purchase order within 90 days of your redemption.

SALES CHARGE WAIVERS

Class A shares of the Funds may be purchased at NAV by the following individuals:

•

Trustees and officers of the Funds or any other mutual funds managed by the Investment Manager or one or more of its affiliates, and directors, officers and employees of the Investment Manager or Distributor, and their affiliates, as well as the following relatives of any such trustees/directors, officers and employees (and their spouses): spouses, grandparents, parents, children, grandchildren, siblings, nieces and nephews;


•	Any trust, pension, profit sharing or other benefit plan established by any of the foregoing corporations for persons described above;


•	Retirement plans/retirement plan platforms that have assets of at least $1 million or at least 25 eligible employees;

•

Officers, directors, partners or registered representatives (and their spouses and minor children) of broker-dealers who have a selling agreement with the Distributor. Such sales are made upon the written assurance of the purchaser that the purchase is made for investment purposes and that the securities will not be transferred or resold except through redemption or repurchase by or on behalf of the Funds;


•	A registered investment adviser, trustee or financial intermediary who has authority to make investment decisions on behalf of investors;


•	A registered broker-dealer or registered adviser not affiliated with a broker-dealer who either charges periodic fees to its customers for financial planning, investment advisory or asset management services, or provides such services in connection with the establishment of an investment account for which a comprehensive “wrap fee” is imposed; and


•	Customers of financial intermediaries that have a contractual arrangement with the Distributor or Investment Manager where such contract provides for the waiver of the front-end sales charge. Each such contractual arrangement with a financial intermediary is described in Appendix A hereto.

The Funds do not waive sales charges for the reinvestment of proceeds from the sale of shares of a fund not in the Family of Funds where those shares were subject to a front-end sales charge (sometimes called a NAV Transfer).

The availability of Class A sales charge waivers may depend upon the policies, procedures and trading platforms of your financial intermediary.

For information regarding intermediary-specific sales charge waivers and discounts, please refer to Appendix A to this Prospectus (Intermediary-Specific Sales Charge Waivers and Discounts).

SALES CHARGE EXCEPTIONS

You will not pay initial sales charges on the following:


•	Class A shares purchased by reinvesting dividends and distributions.


•	When exchanging Class A shares of one Fund for Class A shares of another series of Rydex Series Funds, Rydex Dynamic Funds or Guggenheim Funds Trust.

97 | PROSPECTUS

CLASS C SHARES

Class C shares are sold at NAV, without any up-front sales charge, so that the full amount of your purchase is invested in the Funds. However, if you sell your shares within 12 months of purchase, you will normally have to pay a 1.00% CDSC based on your initial purchase price or current market value, whichever is lower. Shares that are not subject to the CDSC are redeemed first. Then, shares held the longest will be the first to be redeemed. The CDSC is used to reimburse the Distributor for paying your financial intermediary a sales commission up to a total of 1.00% of the purchase price of your investment in connection with your initial purchase.

CALCULATION OF CDSC

Any CDSC imposed upon redemption of Class A shares (purchased in amounts of $1,000,000 or more) or Class C shares is a percentage of the lesser of (1) the NAV of the shares redeemed or (2) the net cost of such shares. No contingent deferred sales charge is imposed upon redemption of amounts derived from (1) increases in the value above the net cost of such shares due to increases in the NAV per share of the Fund, (2) shares acquired through reinvestment of income dividends and capital gain distributions, or (3) Class A shares or Class C shares held for more than one year. Upon request for redemption, shares not subject to the CDSC will be redeemed first. Thereafter, shares held the longest will be the first to be redeemed.

WAIVER OF CDSC

With respect to Class A or Class C shares, the Distributor will waive the deferred sales charge (when applicable) under the following circumstances:


•	An initial 1.00% sales commission was not paid to the intermediary at the time of purchase;


•	Following the death or disability of the shareholder;


•	For the redemption of the first 10% of shares sold within 12 months of purchase;


•	In connection with the required minimum distributions from a retirement plan qualified under Section 401(a), 401(k), 403(b) or 408 of the Code; or


•	In connection with distributions from retirement plans qualified under Section 401(a), 401(k), 403(b) of the Code for:


•	Returns of excess contributions to the plan;


•	Retirement of a participant in the plan;


•	A loan from the plan (loan repayments are treated as new sales for purposes of the deferred sales charge);


•	Financial hardship (as defined in regulations under the Code) of a participant in a plan;


•	Termination of employment of a participant in a plan; or


•	Any other permissible withdrawal under the terms of the plan.

In addition, the CDSC applicable to Class A or Class C shares will be waived for shares converted to Institutional Class shares through traditional individual retirement accounts (IRAs), Roth IRAs, Rollover IRAs, Inherited IRAs, SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, BASIC Plans, Educational Savings Accounts and Medical Savings Accounts on a Merrill Lynch platform. With respect to such waiver, Merrill Lynch will pay a portion of the CDSC to the Distributor. For more information regarding this conversion feature, please see the description above in the section “Buying, Selling and Exchanging Fund Shares” or consult your financial advisor.

The policy of waiving the CDSC for certain redemptions may be modified or discontinued, with respect to new shareholders, at any time.

For information regarding intermediary-specific sales charge waivers and discounts, please refer to Appendix A to this Prospectus (Intermediary-Specific Sales Charge Waivers and Discounts).

Buying Fund Shares

The Funds offer their shares continuously and investors may submit purchase orders to buy shares on any Business Day. However, Guggenheim Investments reserves the right to reject or refuse, in whole or in part, any purchase order for Fund shares within 3 business days of Guggenheim Investments receiving the purchase order. Purchase orders are subject to the Funds’ or your financial intermediary’s transaction cut-off times and will be processed at the NAV next determined after your purchase order is received in good order. The minimum investment requirement for each of Class A, Class C and Institutional Class shares of each Fund is listed in each Fund’s “Fund Summary.” Class P shares of the Fund do not have a minimum initial or subsequent investment amount. Please contact your financial

PROSPECTUS | 98

intermediary for more information about purchasing Class P shares, including the intermediary's applicable policies and procedures.

Purchases of Class C shares of each Fund requested in an amount of $1,000,000 or more will be automatically made in Class A shares of each Fund.

Shares acquired on or after January 1, 2012 are generally considered covered shares. The Funds are generally required to report cost basis information to you and the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) when covered shares are redeemed. The Funds will use a default average cost method for reporting your cost basis for covered shares, unless you instruct us otherwise in writing to use another method. If you wish to choose another default cost basis method for your account, you may select among first-in-first-out ("FIFO"), last-in-first-out ("LIFO") and highest cost-in-first-out ("HIFO"). For redemptions of shares acquired before January 1, 2012 (“non-covered shares”), the Funds are not required to report cost basis information to you or the IRS.

Accounts opened through a financial intermediary may be subject to different cost basis policies. For more information about your financial intermediary’s rules and procedures, including cost basis methodologies, you should contact your financial intermediary directly.

Fund shareholders should consult with their tax advisors to determine the appropriate cost basis method for their tax situation and to obtain more information about the cost basis reporting rules.

For additional discussion of the average cost method, see “Redemption Procedures.”

PURCHASE PROCEDURES

Class A, Class C and Institutional Class

For purchases of Class A, Class C or Institutional Class shares, the Funds offer you the option to submit purchase orders through your financial intermediary or to send purchase orders by mail, fax or internet and to send purchase proceeds by check, wire transfer or ACH to each Fund for accounts opened directly. The Funds do not accept cash or cash equivalents (such as travelers’ checks and money orders), starter checks, or checks drawn on a line of credit (including credit card convenience checks). The Funds typically do not accept third-party checks. Fund management reserves the right to refuse other payment instruments if, in the sole discretion of Fund management, it is deemed to be in the best interest of the Funds. Any payment instrument not accepted generally will be returned to you within twenty-four (24) hours of Fund management’s determination to not accept such instrument, but in no event later than 3 Business Days after such determination.

Guggenheim Investments generally does not accept purchase orders from or on behalf of non-resident U.S. citizens or non-resident aliens.

Retirement contributions will be considered as current year contributions unless otherwise instructed in writing at the time of the contribution.

Class P

For purchases of Class P shares, you will submit purchase orders through your financial intermediary. Class P shares cannot be purchased directly through the Transfer Agent. Guggenheim Investments does not accept purchase orders from or on behalf of non-resident U.S. citizens or non-resident aliens.

CANCELED PURCHASE ORDERS (Class A, Class C and Institutional Class Only)

For purchases of Class A, Class C or Institutional Class shares, Guggenheim Investments will ordinarily cancel your purchase order under the following circumstances:


•	If your bank does not honor your check for any reason;


•	If the Transfer Agent does not receive your wire transfer;


•	If the Transfer Agent does not receive your ACH transfer; or


•	If your bank does not honor your ACH transfer.

PROSPECTUS | 100

If your purchase order is canceled for any of these reasons, you will not be entitled to benefit from any increase in NAV that the Funds may have experienced from the time of your order to the time of its cancellation. In addition, if the Funds’ NAV decreases in value from the time of your order to the time of its cancellation, the Funds will hold you liable for any losses that it incurs as a result of your canceled order.

Selling Fund Shares

Each Fund redeems its shares continuously and investors may sell their shares back to the Funds on any Business Day. You may redeem all or any portion of your Fund shares at the Funds’ next determined NAV calculated after your redemption order is received in good order by your financial intermediary or, for shares of each class other than Class P shares, the Transfer Agent.

Each Fund typically expects to meet redemption requests by using holdings of cash or cash equivalents or proceeds from the sale of portfolio holdings (or a combination of these methods) unless it believes that circumstances warrant otherwise. For example, under stressed market conditions, as well as during emergency or temporary circumstances, each Fund may distribute redemption proceeds in-kind (rather than in cash), access a line of credit, or overdraft facility, or borrow through other sources (e.g., reverse repurchase agreements or engage in certain types of derivatives), to meet redemption requests. Each Fund may also use these redemption methods if the Fund believes, in its discretion, that it is in the best interests of the Fund and its remaining shareholders. Redemptions in-kind involve the payment of some or all of your redemption proceeds in securities with a market value equal to the redemption amount. If a Fund redeems your shares in kind, you may bear transaction costs and will bear market risks until such time as such securities are converted to cash.

Each Fund has entered into a joint committed line of credit with other funds managed by the Investment Manager and a syndicate of banks that the Fund may use to pay your redemption proceeds, as described above.

Please refer to the SAI for more information.

Each Fund may suspend the right of redemption, or postpone the date of payment or satisfaction upon redemption, of shares for more than seven days (i) for any period (a) during which the NYSE is closed other than customary week-end and holiday closings or (b) during which trading on the NYSE is restricted, (ii) for any period during which an emergency exists as a result of which (a) disposal by the Fund of securities owned by it is not reasonably practicable or (b) it is not reasonably practicable for such Fund fairly to determine the value of its net assets, or (iii) for such other periods as the SEC may by order permit for the protection of shareholders.

For redemptions of Class A, Class C or Institutional Class shares, you will ordinarily submit your transaction order through your financial intermediary or other securities dealers through which you opened your shareholder account or through Guggenheim Investments if you opened your account directly with the Funds. The Funds also offer you the option to send redemption orders to Guggenheim Investments by:



	Standard Delivery	Overnight Delivery
MAIL	Guggenheim Investments P.O. Box 10839 Rockville, MD 20849-0839	Guggenheim Investments 805 King Farm Boulevard, Suite 600 Rockville, MD 20850
FAX	301.296.5103 If you send your redemption order by fax, you must call Guggenheim Investments Client Services at 800.820.0888 or 301.296.5100 to verify that your fax was received and when it will be processed.
TELEPHONE	800.820.0888 or 301.296.5100 (not available for retirement accounts)
BY ACH	Redemption proceeds may be sent via ACH only if you have existing ACH instructions on file. If you currently do not have ACH instructions on file, download the Bank Information and Alternate Payee Form from the www.guggenheiminvestments.com site and follow the instructions for adding bank instructions. A maximum of $50,000 is allowed to be redeemed via ACH per day.

Whether you transmit your redemption order by mail, fax or telephone, you must include the following information in your redemption order:


•	Your name;


•	Your shareholder account number;


•	Fund name(s);


•	Dollar amount or number of shares you would like to sell of each Fund;

101 | PROSPECTUS


•	Whether you want your sale proceeds sent to you by check, wire or ACH (a new alternate payee or new wire instructions may require a Medallion signature guarantee); and


•	Signature of account owner(s) (not required for telephone redemptions).

You may only place a redemption order if you are the registered owner of the account or the registered owner has given Guggenheim Investments written authorization to allow you to make redemptions from the account. You will receive a confirmation number for your redemption. Please retain it for your records.

If you choose not to use the default cost basis method of average cost, you must choose a default cost basis method among FIFO, LIFO or HIFO. Shareholders who choose not to use the default cost basis method (i.e., the average cost basis method) may instead specifically identify the shares to be sold at the time of redemption or exchange. Shareholders using the specific identification method are expected to provide lot selection information along with their redemption or exchange request. For situations where shareholders are unable to or do not provide instructions (i.e., systematic withdrawals and other non-shareholders generated activity) the account level default will be used. Shareholders who wish to use the specific identification method for identifying lots of shares sold, however, are not permitted to use the average cost basis method.

Unless requested otherwise at the time of the transaction, the Funds will redeem or exchange shares in the following order: undated non-covered shares, non-covered shares followed by covered shares using the method in effect for the account.

Class P

For redemptions of Class P shares, you will submit your transaction order through your broker/dealer or other financial intermediary through which you opened your shareholder account.

DISTRIBUTIONS FROM QUALIFIED RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS

Distributions from your tax-qualified plan or individual retirement account ("IRA") may have adverse tax consequences to you. You should consult your tax adviser before redeeming shares and making distributions from your tax-qualified plan or IRA account. For shares of each class other than Class P shares, all requests for distributions of redemption proceeds from tax-qualified plans and IRA accounts must be in writing. All distributions from tax-qualified plans and IRAs are subject to tax withholding rules.

Distributions from 403(b) accounts may require employer or plan administrator approval.

RECEIVING YOUR REDEMPTION PROCEEDS

The Fund typically expects to pay redemption proceeds to your brokerage account held with a financial intermediary within two business days following receipt of the redemption request. For redemption proceeds that are paid directly to you by the Fund, the Fund generally expects to pay redemption proceeds by check, ACH or wire to you within one business day, following receipt of your redemption request in good order. However, in all cases, it may take the Fund up to seven calendar days to pay redemption proceeds. Each Fund also has the right to suspend the right of redemption or postpone the date of payments, as described above. For redemption orders that settle on federal bank holidays, your redemption proceeds will be sent on the next Business Day following the holiday. For investments made by check or ACH (not wire purchases), purchases will be on hold for up to 10 Business Days before a payment of redemption proceeds may be made.

All redemptions will be mailed to your address of record, sent electronically via ACH, or wired to your bank account of record. You may request overnight mail service for an additional fee. If redemption proceeds are transmitted by ACH or wire and the payee instructions are not valid, the proceeds may be re-invested into shares of the Rydex U.S. Government Money Market Fund, which are offered in a separate prospectus, as of the date of the redemption.

If you request payment of redemption proceeds to a third party or to a location other than your address of record, alternate address on file, or bank account(s) of record, your redemption request should be in writing and include a Medallion signature guarantee and may not be faxed. You may not send redemption proceeds to an address of record that was changed within the last 10 business days unless your request is Medallion signature guaranteed. For certain exceptions (e.g., accounts managed by financial professionals and requests to transfer between accounts), you may not be required to provide a Medallion signature guarantee. Please contact Guggenheim Investments Client Services at 800.820.0888 if you have any questions about your redemption request.

PROSPECTUS | 102

MEDALLION SIGNATURE GUARANTEES (Class A, Class C and Institutional Class Only)

Medallion signature guarantees help protect you and your account against fraud. You can obtain a Medallion signature guarantee at most banks and financial intermediaries. A notary public cannot provide a Medallion signature guarantee. You may not use fax to transmit a Medallion signature guarantee to a Fund.

UNCASHED CHECK POLICY (Class A, Class C and Institutional Class Only)

Any dividend, capital gain or partial redemption check that has remained outstanding for a period of 90 days from the issuance date will be canceled and re-issued. If a re-issued check is not cashed within 90 days, the check will be canceled and the proceeds will be deposited into the shareholder’s account as of the cancellation date.

For dividend and capital gain checks, the proceeds will be reinvested into the appropriate share class of the Fund from which such distribution was paid, or if the Fund position has subsequently been redeemed in full, the distribution will be reinvested into shares of the Rydex U.S. Government Money Market Fund, which are offered in a separate prospectus. The account also will have the distribution payout option adjusted so that all future distributions are reinvested into the appropriate share class of the Fund from which the distribution would have been paid.

For partial redemption checks, the proceeds will be deposited into shares of the Rydex U.S. Government Money Market Fund.

Any full redemption check (one that brings your account balance to $0.00) that has remained outstanding for a period of 90 days from the issuance date will be canceled and re-issued one time.

Any redemption check from a retirement account (IRA, Roth, SEP, for example) that has remained outstanding for a period of 90 days from the issuance date will be canceled and re-issued one time.

For checks returned in the mail, a Fund will attempt to contact the client. If no contact is made, the check will be processed according to the procedures mentioned above.

Exchanging Fund Shares

An exchange is when you sell shares of one Fund and use the proceeds from that sale to purchase shares of another Fund. Investors may make exchanges on any Business Day of shares of the Funds for corresponding shares of any other Fund within the Family of Funds on the basis of the respective NAVs of the shares involved.

Exchange requests, like any other share transaction, will be processed at the NAV next determined after your exchange order is received in good order. Exchanges involving other Funds not included in this Prospectus may be subject to different transaction cut-off times. All exchange requests must be received by the Funds’ Transfer Agent or your financial intermediary prior to the cut-off time of the Fund you are exchanging out of or the Fund you are exchanging into, whichever is earlier, to be processed at that Business Day’s NAV.

The exchange privilege may be modified or discontinued at any time.

EXCHANGE PROCEDURES

Class A, Class C and Institutional Class

For exchanges of Class A, Class C or Institutional Class shares, you will ordinarily submit your transaction order through your financial intermediary or other securities dealers through which you opened your shareholder account or through Guggenheim Investments directly. The Funds also offer you the option to send exchange requests to Guggenheim Investments by:



	Standard Delivery	Overnight Delivery
MAIL	Guggenheim Investments P.O. Box 10839 Rockville, MD 20849-0839	Guggenheim Investments 805 King Farm Boulevard, Suite 600 Rockville, MD 20850
FAX	301.296.5103 If you send your exchange request by fax, you must call Guggenheim Investments Client Services at 800.820.0888 to verify that your fax was received and when it will be processed.
TELEPHONE	800.820.0888 or 301.296.5100
INTERNET	Follow the directions on the Guggenheim Investments web site—Visit www.TradeRydex.com

Whether you transmit your exchange request by mail, fax, telephone or internet, you must include the following information in your exchange request:


•	Your name;


•	Your shareholder account number;


•	Fund name(s) you are exchanging out of (selling) and Fund name(s) you are exchanging into (buying);

103 | PROSPECTUS


•	Dollar amount, number of shares or percentage of Fund position involved in the exchange; and


•	Signature of account owner(s) (not required for telephone or internet exchanges).

You may only place exchange orders if you are the registered owner of the account or the registered owner has given Guggenheim Investments written authorization to allow you to trade the account. You will receive a confirmation number for your exchange. Please retain it for your records.

Class P

For exchanges of Class P shares, you will submit your transaction order through your broker/dealer or other financial intermediary through which you opened your shareholder account.

DOLLAR-COST AVERAGING (Class A, Class C and Institutional Class Only)

Shareholders of Class A, Class C and Institutional Class shares may elect to engage in dollar-cost averaging, which allows shareholders to make periodic exchanges of shares from one fund to one or more other funds at regular intervals. With dollar-cost averaging, the cost of the securities is averaged over time and possibly over various market cycles.

Dollar-cost averaging does not guarantee profits, nor does it assure that a shareholder will not have losses. Shareholders should contact Guggenheim Investments Client Services to enroll in dollar-cost averaging. Shareholders will need to choose whether amounts are to be exchanged on the basis of a specific dollar amount or a specific number of shares. Guggenheim Investments will exchange shares as requested on the date of your choosing. If the date selected falls on a weekend or holiday, your request will be processed on the previous Business Day.

The Investment Managers will make exchanges until the value of the shareholder’s fund from which exchanges are being made is depleted or until the shareholder instructs Guggenheim Investments to terminate dollar-cost averaging. Dollar-cost averaging may be terminated at any time by a shareholder by written request or by phone.

Account Policies

SHAREHOLDER IDENTIFICATION AND VERIFICATION

Federal regulations may require the Fund to obtain your name, your date of birth (for a natural person), your residential street address or principal place of business and your Social Security Number, Employer Identification Number or other government issued identification when you open an account. Additional information may be required in certain circumstances or to open accounts for corporations or other entities, and effective May 11, 2018 certain information regarding beneficial ownership will be verified, including information about beneficial owners of such entities. The Fund may use this information to attempt to verify your identity and, for legal entities, the identity of beneficial owners. The Fund may not be able to establish an account if the necessary information is not received. The Fund may also place limits on account transactions while it is in the process of attempting to verify your identity and, for legal entities, the identity of beneficial owners. Additionally, if the Fund is unable to verify the identity or you or your beneficial owners after your account is established, the Fund may be required to redeem your shares and close your account. If your account is closed for this reason, your shares will be redeemed at the NAV next calculated on the date your account is closed, and you bear the risk of loss.

Guggenheim Investments provides accounts for resident U.S. citizens and resident aliens. We generally will not open a new account for any non-resident aliens (natural person or entity) or non-resident U.S. citizens. Guggenheim Investments generally will not accept any investments from non-resident aliens (natural person or entity) or non-resident U.S. citizens. If you are unsure of your status please consult your tax adviser.

Customer identification and verification is part of the Funds’ overall obligation to deter money laundering under applicable law. The Funds have adopted an anti-money laundering compliance program designed to prevent the Funds from being used for money laundering or the financing of terrorist activities. In this regard, the Funds reserve the right to (i) refuse, cancel or rescind any purchase or exchange order, (ii) freeze any account and/or suspend account services or (iii) involuntarily close your account in cases of threatening conduct or suspected fraudulent or illegal activity. These actions will be taken when, in the sole discretion of Fund management, they are deemed to be in the best interest of the Funds or in cases when the Funds are requested or compelled to do so by governmental or law enforcement authority. If your account is closed at the request of governmental or law enforcement authority, you may not receive proceeds of the redemption if the Funds are required to withhold such proceeds.

CHANGES TO YOUR ACCOUNT

PROSPECTUS | 104

For information on what is required to make changes and/or additions to your Class A, Class C, and/or Institutional Class account and to obtain the appropriate forms, please visit the Guggenheim Investments web site at www.guggenheiminvestments.com or call 800.820.0888 or 301.296.5100. If you own shares that are registered in your financial intermediary’s name, and you want to transfer the registration of your shares to another financial intermediary or want the shares registered in your name, then you should contact your financial intermediary for instructions on how to make this change.

TRANSACTIONS OVER TELEPHONE OR INTERNET (Class A, Class C and Institutional Class Only)

Internet and telephone transactions are extremely convenient, but are not risk free. To ensure that your internet and telephone transactions are safe, secure, and as risk-free as possible, the Funds have instituted certain safeguards and procedures for determining the identity of web site users (including the use of secure passwords and 128-bit encryption technology) and telephone callers and authenticity of instructions. As a result, neither the Funds nor their Transfer Agent will be responsible for any loss, liability, cost, or expense for following internet, telephone or wire instructions they reasonably believe to be genuine. If you or your intermediaries make exchange requests by telephone or internet, you will generally bear the risk of any loss. Neither the Funds nor their Transfer Agent are responsible for internet transactions that are not received.

During periods of unusually high market activity or other times, it may be difficult to reach Guggenheim Investments by telephone or access our internet site. Guggenheim Investments and its affiliates will not be liable for any losses resulting from a cause over which Guggenheim Investments or its affiliates do not have direct control, including but not limited to the failure of electronic or mechanical equipment or communication lines, telephone or other interconnect problems (e.g., if you are unable to access your online service provider), input errors on the internet, severe weather, facilities emergencies, earthquakes, floods and strikes or other labor problems. If you are unable to reach Guggenheim Investments by telephone, fax, or internet, consider sending written instructions.

STATEMENTS AND CONFIRMATIONS (Class A, Class C and Institutional Class Only)

You will receive a confirmation for every trade you initiate. We will also send you a statement each quarter, and we will post your monthly statement online. You may choose to receive your trade confirmations and quarterly statements by mail or electronically (see “eDelivery Services” below).

Please review your trade confirmations and statements carefully. It is important that you contact Guggenheim Investments immediately with any questions you may have about any transaction reflected on any confirmation or statement. Guggenheim Investments will consider the transactions properly processed if any discrepancies are not reported promptly. If there are any discrepancies, call Guggenheim Investments Client Services at 800.820.0888.

eDELIVERY SERVICES (Class A, Class C and Institutional Class Only)

eDelivery offers shareholders of Class A, Class C and Institutional Class shares the convenience of receiving most communications (such as trade confirmations, statements, prospectuses and shareholder reports, etc.) from the Funds through the web via email notification. For more information on eDelivery, please visit the Guggenheim Investments web site at www.guggenheiminvestments.com. The Funds reserve the right to discontinue your eDelivery service if two (2) or more e-mail notices are returned as undeliverable.

HOUSEHOLDING

Householding is an option that may be available to certain Fund investors through their financial intermediary. Householding is a method of delivery, based on the preference of the individual investor, in which a single copy of certain shareholder documents can be delivered to investors who share the same address, even if their accounts are registered under different names. Please contact your broker-dealer or other financial intermediary if you are interested in enrolling in householding and receiving a single copy of prospectuses and other shareholder documents, or if you are currently enrolled in householding and wish to change your householding status.

GUGGENHEIM INVESTMENTS EXPRESS LINE—800.717.7776 (Class A, Class C and Institutional Class Only)

If you are a shareholder of Class A, Class C or Institutional Class shares, you may access information about the Funds and your Guggenheim Investments account anytime with the Guggenheim Investments Express Line. This automated line gives you telephone access to Funds information including NAVs, daily factors, fund assets and distributions as well as balance and history information on your Guggenheim Investments account.

SERVICE AND OTHER FEES (Class A, Class C and Institutional Class Only)

Guggenheim Investments may charge the following administrative fees on accounts held directly through the Funds’ Transfer Agent for services associated with the following:


•	$15 for wire transfers of redemption proceeds under $5,000;


•	$50 on checks returned for insufficient funds;


•	$25 to stop payment of a redemption check within 10 Business Days of the settlement date;


•	$15 for standard overnight packages (fee may be higher for special delivery options);


•	$25 for bounced draft checks or ACH transactions; and

•

Client requests for historical account transcripts or the retrieval of a significant amount of documentation may be honored to the extent that those records are readily available. The Funds reserve the right, upon notice, to charge you a fee to cover the costs of special requests for information that require extensive research or employee resources. Such requests could include a request for historical account transcripts or the retrieval of a significant number of documents.

Guggenheim Investments reserves the right to change any of these fees or add additional service fees at any time.

RETIREMENT ACCOUNT FEES (Class A, Class C and Institutional Class Only)

An annual maintenance fee of $15 will be charged on the following retirement plans: IRA, SEP, Roth IRA, 403(b), Simple, Coverdell-ESA and Guggenheim Investments prototype money purchase plan and profit sharing plan accounts. You may pay the annual fee at any time during the calendar year by sending Guggenheim Investments a check. If the annual maintenance fee is not paid separately prior to December, it will be deducted automatically from your account.

An account closing fee of $15 will be charged upon liquidation of the following retirement accounts: IRA, SEP, Roth IRA, 403(b), Simple and Coverdell-ESA. This fee will be deducted from the proceeds of your redemption. Guggenheim Investments will waive the annual maintenance fee if a liquidation fee is being charged.

Guggenheim Investments also may waive the annual maintenance fee and any applicable account closing fee for certain 403(b) retirement plan accounts. For more information about the applicability of these fees, please contact Guggenheim Investments Client Services at 800.820.0888.

For additional information on fees for employee accounts please refer to the SAI.

MARKET TIMING/SHORT-TERM TRADING

The Funds are not suitable for purchase by active investors. The Funds are intended for long-term investment purposes only and discourage shareholders from engaging in “market timing” or other types of excessive short-term trading. If you wish to engage in such practices, we request that you do not purchase shares of the Funds. This frequent trading into and out of the Funds may present risks to the Funds’ long-term shareholders, all of which could adversely affect shareholder returns. The risks posed by frequent trading include interfering with the efficient implementation of the Funds’ investment strategies, triggering the recognition of taxable gains and losses on the sale of Fund investments, requiring the Funds to maintain higher cash balances to meet redemption requests, and experiencing increased transaction costs. The Funds do not accommodate frequent purchases and redemptions. Consequently, the Board of Trustees has adopted policies and procedures designed to prevent frequent purchases and redemptions of shares of the Funds. The policies and procedures contain a variety of methods intended to assist in identifying “market timing” or other types of excessive short-term trading, including the monitoring of “round trips” by investors. A round trip is a purchase of (or exchange into) Fund shares followed or preceded by a redemption (or exchange out of) the same Fund’s shares. If two round trips by an individual investor are identified within certain period of time, the Fund (or its agent) may reject or otherwise limit the investor’s ability to purchase or exchange Fund shares for a prescribed period after the two round trips.

For purposes of applying the Funds’ policies, the Investment Managers may consider the trading history of accounts under common ownership or control. In addition, the Funds reserve the right to reject any purchase request by any investor or group of investors for any reason without prior notice, including, in particular, if an Investment Manager reasonably believes that the trading activity would be harmful or disruptive to the Funds.

No restrictions are applied to transfers, purchases and redemptions of the Funds by certain “funds of funds” within the Funds’ group of investment companies that are made (1) as part of the routine allocation and rebalancing transactions for such funds of funds or (2) in order to allow for inflows and outflows of investors in such funds of funds, so long as the market timing policies and procedures for such funds of funds are consistent with the Funds’ objective of avoiding disruption due to market timing. This waiver may be extended in the future without notice to permit investments by additional funds of funds in the Funds.

In its sole discretion, a Fund may revise its market timing procedures at any time without prior notice as it deems necessary or appropriate, including changing the criteria for monitoring market timing and other harmful trading (including without limitation, imposing dollar or percentage limits on transfers).

Transactions accepted by an authorized financial intermediary in violation of the market timing/short-term trading policies and procedures are not deemed accepted by the Funds and may be canceled or revoked by the Funds by the close of business on the next Business Day following receipt. Although these policies are designed to deter frequent trading, none of these measures alone nor all of them taken together eliminate the possibility that frequent trading in the Funds will occur, particularly with respect to trades placed by shareholders that invest in the Funds through

105 | PROSPECTUS

omnibus accounts maintained by brokers, retirement plan accounts and other financial intermediaries. The Funds’ access to information about individual shareholder transactions made through such omnibus arrangements is often unavailable or severely limited. As a result, a Fund cannot assure that its policies will be enforced with regard to shares held through such omnibus arrangements (which may represent a majority of the Fund’s shares), and as a result frequent trading could adversely affect the Fund and its long-term shareholders as discussed above.

RIGHTS RESERVED BY THE FUNDS

In addition to the rights expressly set forth in the Prospectus and SAI, the Funds reserve the right to close your account or redeem your shares in cases of (i) actual or suspected threatening conduct against the Funds or actual or suspected fraudulent, illegal or suspicious activity by you or any other individual associated with your account or (ii) your failure to provide information to the Funds (or their agent) related to your account or otherwise comply with or meet Fund policies or share class eligibility requirements. This action may be taken when, in the sole discretion of Fund management, it is deemed to be in the best interest of the Funds or in cases where the Funds are requested or compelled to do so by applicable law. If your account is closed or your shares are redeemed at the request of governmental or law enforcement authority or pursuant to applicable law, you may not receive proceeds of the redemption if the Fund is required to withhold such proceeds. Neither the Funds, the Investment Managers (or their affiliates) nor the Board of Trustees will be responsible for any loss in your account or tax liability resulting from such a redemption.

UNCLAIMED PROPERTY LAWS

In certain circumstances, mutual fund accounts can be considered unclaimed or abandoned property under applicable state law. If your account is left unattended for a statutorily-prescribed period of time — generally, three or five years — Guggenheim Investments may be legally required to escheat (or transfer) your account to the state of your last known mailing address in accordance with applicable unclaimed or abandoned property (escheatment) laws, which vary by state. In order to avoid the possibility of escheatment to the state, you should from time to time initiate activity in your account or contact Guggenheim Investments to review your account information. In addition, you should maintain a current and valid mailing address on record with your account to prevent any delays or interruptions of purchases, redemptions or exchanges of your shares. To initiate activity in your account(s) or update your mailing address, you should contact Guggenheim Investments at 800.820.0888 or 301.296.5100 or, if applicable, the financial intermediary through which you purchased (or hold) your shares.

Shareholders that reside in the state of Texas may designate a representative to receive escheatment notifications by completing and submitting a designation form that can be found on the website of the Texas Comptroller.

Distribution and Shareholder Services

CLASS A AND CLASS P SHARES

The Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to each of Class A and Class P shares that allows the Funds to pay distribution fees to the Distributor and other firms that provide distribution-related services (“Service Providers”). The Funds will pay distribution fees to the Distributor at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of average daily net assets. Because the Funds pay these fees out of assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees may cost you more than other types of sales charges and will increase the cost of your investment.

CLASS C SHARES

The Funds have adopted a Distribution and Shareholder Services Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, applicable to Class C shares that allows each Fund to pay annual distribution and service fees of 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The annual 0.75% distribution fee reimburses the Distributor for paying your intermediary a sales commission. The annual 0.25% service fee compensates your intermediary for providing on-going services to you. The Distributor advances the first year’s distribution and service fees, and retains the distribution and service fees on accounts with no authorized intermediary of record. Because the Funds pay these fees out of assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees may cost you more than other types of sales charges and will increase the cost of your investment.

COMPENSATION TO DEALERS

Each Investment Manager, at its expense and out of its own resources, may provide compensation to financial intermediaries for the sale of Fund shares. Such payments, commonly referred to as “revenue sharing,” do not increase Fund expenses and are not reflected in the fees and expenses listed in the Funds’ expense tables in this Prospectus. These payments may be made, at the discretion of the Investment Manager, to certain dealers who have sold shares of the Funds. The level of payments made to dealers will generally vary, but may be significant. The Investment Managers determine the extent of such payments in its sole discretion in response to requests from dealer firms,

PROSPECTUS | 106

based on factors it deems relevant, such as the dealer’s sales, assets, share class utilized and the quality of the dealer’s relationship with the Investment Manager. The Investment Managers periodically determine the advisability of continuing these payments. The Investment Managers may also pay expenses associated with meetings that facilitate educating financial advisers and shareholders about the Funds that are conducted by dealers. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker/dealer or other intermediary and your sales person to recommend the Funds over another investment. Shareholders should inquire of an intermediary how the intermediary will be compensated for investments made in the Funds.

Shareholder Services

SUB-TRANSFER AGENCY SERVICES

The Transfer Agent, Distributor or Trust has entered into agreements with financial intermediaries pursuant to which the financial intermediary is compensated for providing sub-transfer agency or similar services, including administrative, networking or recordkeeping services, to Fund shareholders. Payments pursuant to such agreements vary as a result of, among other things, the nature of the services provided and are generally based on: (1) the average daily net assets of clients serviced by the financial intermediary or (2) the number of accounts serviced by the financial intermediary. The aggregate amount of these payments, which are reimbursed in all or in part by the Funds, may be substantial and are in addition to, rather than in lieu of, 12b-1 fees the financial intermediary may also be receiving pursuant to agreements with the Distributor. These payments increase the Funds’ operating expenses and reduce their investment performance.

SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLAN (Class A, Class C and Institutional Class Only)

Shareholders of Class A, Class C or Institutional Class shares who wish to receive regularly scheduled payments may establish a Systematic Withdrawal Plan. Please refer to the Systematic Withdrawal Plan Request form for additional payment options. The form can be found within the Customer Service section of the www.guggenheiminvestments.com website. Shares are liquidated at NAV. The Program may be terminated upon notification, or it will terminate automatically if all shares are liquidated or redeemed from the account.

EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE

Shareholders of the Funds may exchange their shares for shares of other funds distributed by the Distributor. An exchange is two transactions: a sale of shares of one fund and the purchase of shares of another fund. In general, the same policies that apply to purchases and sales apply to exchanges, including a Fund’s right to reject any order to purchase shares.

Shares of a particular class of the Funds may be exchanged only for shares of the same class of another available Fund. In addition, shareholders should note that Class A shares may be exchanged for Institutional Class shares of Funds distributed by the Distributor if the shareholder meets the minimum initial investment and the specific eligibility requirements, which may be described in a different prospectus. Shareholders should consult that prospectus prior to making such an exchange. A copy of the prospectus may be requested by contacting the Funds’ Distributor.

Exchanges may be made only in those states where shares of the Fund into which an exchange is to be made are qualified for sale. No service fee or sales charge is presently imposed on such an exchange. Any applicable contingent deferred sales charge will be imposed upon redemption and calculated from the date of the initial purchase. For tax purposes, an exchange is a sale of shares which may result in a taxable gain or loss. Special rules may apply to determine the amount of gain or loss on an exchange occurring within 90 days after purchase of the exchanged shares. Before exchanging your shares for shares of another mutual fund that is distributed by the Distributor and offered through another prospectus, you should request the prospectus of the mutual fund into which you are contemplating exchanging your shares and review it carefully, as the other mutual fund may be subject to fees, charges or expenses that are different from the shares that you are exchanging. A current prospectus of the Fund into which an exchange is made will be given to each shareholder exercising this privilege if the shareholder does not currently hold shares in that fund.

The terms of an employee-sponsored retirement plan may affect a shareholder’s right to exchange shares as described above. Contact your plan sponsor or administrator to determine if all of the exchange options discussed above are available under your plan.

A shareholder of Class A, Class C or Institutional Class shares may exchange shares by telephone by calling the Funds at 800.820.0888, on weekdays (except holidays) between the hours of 8:30 am and 5:30 pm Eastern Time. Exchange requests received by telephone after the close of the NYSE (normally 4:00 pm Eastern Time) will be treated as if

107 | PROSPECTUS

received on the next Business Day. The exchange privilege, including telephone exchanges, dollar cost averaging and asset rebalancing may be changed or discontinued at any time by either an Investment Manager or the Funds upon 60 days' notice to shareholders.

The exchange privilege is not intended as a vehicle for short-term or excessive trading. Because excessive trading by a shareholder can hurt a Fund’s performance and its other shareholders, the Funds reserve the right to limit the amount or number of exchanges or discontinue this privilege if (1) a Fund or the Investment Manager believes that the Fund would be harmed or unable to invest effectively, or (2) a Fund receives or anticipates simultaneous orders that may significantly affect the Fund. The Funds also may reject future investments from a shareholder if the shareholder engages in, or is suspected of engaging in, short-term or excessive trading.

Exchanges into the Rydex U.S. Government Money Market Fund. A Fund’s shares may be exchanged into the Money Market Class shares of the Rydex U.S. Government Money Market Fund, which is offered in a separate prospectus that you can obtain upon request and that you should consult prior to an exchange. The Money Market Class shares of the Rydex U.S. Government Money Market Fund have no distribution and shareholder service (12b-1) fees, initial (up-front) sales charges, initial investment minimum and minimum balance requirements.

If your investment in Class A or Class C shares of a Fund is subject to a deferred sales charge at the time of the exchange, shareholders should note that no deferred sales charge will be incurred on the exchange itself. However, redemptions from the Rydex U.S. Government Money Market Fund may be subject to such deferred sales charge, as may redemptions from other Funds in which you could later invest, as discussed below.

The period of time during which you hold the Money Market Class shares of the Rydex U.S. Government Money Market Fund will not be counted toward determining the applicability of the deferred sales charge that can be charged upon redemptions within 12 months of a purchase of Class A or Class C shares.

Accordingly, if your Class A or Class C shares of a Fund are subject to a deferred sales charge at the time of your exchange into the Money Market Class shares of the Rydex U.S. Government Money Market Fund and you redeem your shares, the deferred sales charge will be assessed at the time you redeem your Money Market Class shares of the Rydex U.S. Government Money Market Fund.

If your Class A or Class C shares of a Fund are subject to a deferred sales charge at the time of the exchange and you subsequently re-exchange your Money Market Class shares of the Rydex U.S. Government Money Market Fund for Class A or Class C shares of another fund in the Family of Funds, respectively, the deferred sales charge will not be assessed by the Rydex U.S. Government Money Market Fund at the time of a subsequent exchange. You will not be given credit for the time you held the Money Market Class shares of the Rydex U.S. Government Money Market Fund, but you will be given credit for the period during which you held Class A or Class C shares of a Fund prior to the exchange of the shares for Money Market Class Shares. Therefore, a deferred sales charge will be based on the period of time you held Class A or Class C shares of a Fund and the other funds in the Family of Funds.

Shareholders should note that, if your initial investment was subject to an initial sales charge, a further exchange of the Money Market Class shares of the Rydex U.S. Government Money Market Fund will not be subject to a charge at the time of such exchange.

For additional information, see the prospectus for the Rydex U.S. Government Money Market Fund.

Dividends and Taxes

Each Fund pays its shareholders dividends from its net investment income and distributes any net capital gains that it has realized, at least annually. If you are a direct shareholder of a Fund, your dividends and distributions will be reinvested in the Fund unless you instruct the Transfer Agent for the Fund otherwise. There are no fees or sales charges on reinvestments. Please see “Uncashed Check Policy” above for more information concerning uncashed dividend and distribution checks.

DIVIDEND PAYMENT OPTIONS

Dividends and distributions will be paid in the form of additional Fund shares unless you have elected to receive payment in cash. If you did not elect to receive cash payments of dividends and distributions on your application, you must notify a Fund in writing to change your election prior to the date of the next distribution. Your election will become effective for dividends paid after the Fund receives your written notice. To cancel your election, simply send written notice to the Fund. Dividends and distributions with values of $25 or less may be automatically reinvested in additional Fund shares. If applicable, please contact your financial intermediary for their policies and procedures regarding dividend and distribution payment options as well as changes to your elections.

PROSPECTUS | 108

If you elect to receive dividends and distributions in cash and you have not provided the Fund with a current and valid mailing address or the U.S. Postal Service or another carrier has returned mailings sent to you as undeliverable, the Fund reserves the right to reinvest such dividends or distributions payable to you in additional Fund shares and to reinvest all subsequent dividends and distributions in additional Fund shares (in each case, reinvested at the NAV per share on the day of reinvestment). Interest will not accrue on the amount of your uncashed check. When reinvested, those amounts are subject to the risk of loss like any other investment in the Fund. In addition, unclaimed accounts may be subject to state escheatment laws. See “Unclaimed Property Laws” above for more information.

TAX ON DISTRIBUTIONS

Fund dividends and distributions are taxable to you (unless your investment is through an IRA or other tax-advantaged retirement account) whether you reinvest your dividends or distributions or take them in cash.

In addition to federal tax, dividends and distributions may be subject to state and local taxes. If a Fund declares a dividend or distribution in October, November or December of a calendar year but pays it in January of the following calendar year, you may be taxed on that dividend or distribution as if you received it in the calendar year in which the dividend or distribution is declared.

The maximum individual federal income tax rate applicable to “qualified dividend income” and long-term capital gains ranges from 0% to 20%, depending on whether the individual’s income exceeds certain threshold amounts. These rate reductions do not apply to corporate taxpayers or to foreign shareholders. Distributions of earnings from dividends paid by certain “qualified foreign corporations” can also qualify for the lower federal income tax rates on qualifying dividends. A shareholder will also have to satisfy a more than 60-day holding period as well as other requirements with respect to any distributions of qualifying dividends in order to obtain the benefit of the lower tax rate. Distributions of earnings from non-qualifying dividends, interest income, other types of ordinary income and short-term capital gains will be taxed at the ordinary income tax rate applicable to the taxpayer.

Tax-deferred retirement accounts generally do not incur a tax liability with respect to a Fund's dividends or other distributions unless you are taking a distribution or making a withdrawal.

A Fund generally has “short-term capital gains” when it sells assets at a gain within one year after buying them. Your share of a Fund’s net short-term capital gains generally will be taxed at ordinary income rates. A Fund generally has “long-term capital gains” when it sells assets at a gain that it has owned for more than one year. Distributions reported by a Fund as long-term capital gain distributions will be taxable to you at your long-term capital gains rate no matter how long you have held your Fund shares.

The Funds will mail you information concerning the tax status of the distributions shortly after the end of each calendar year.

TAXES ON SALES, REDEMPTIONS OR EXCHANGES

You may be taxed on any sale, redemption or exchange of Fund shares. Generally, gain or loss realized upon the sale, redemption or exchange of Fund shares will be capital gain or loss if you hold the shares as capital assets and will be taxable as long-term capital gain or loss if you held the shares for more than one year, or as short-term capital gain or loss if you held the shares as capital assets for one year or less, at the time of the sale, redemption or exchange.

If your tax basis in your shares held as capital assets exceeds the amount of proceeds you received from a sale, exchange or redemption of shares, you generally will recognize a capital loss on the sale of shares of a Fund. Any loss recognized on shares held for six months or less will be treated as long-term capital loss to the extent of any long-term capital gain distributions that were received with respect to the shares. Additionally, any loss realized on a sale, redemption or exchange of shares of a Fund may be disallowed under “wash sale” rules to the extent the shares disposed of are replaced with other shares of that Fund within a period of 61 days beginning thirty days before and ending thirty days after shares are disposed of, such as pursuant to a dividend reinvestment in shares of that Fund. If disallowed, the loss will be reflected in an adjustment to the tax basis of the shares acquired.

MEDICARE TAX

An additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends and capital gain distributions received from a Fund and net gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of Fund shares) of U.S. individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds certain threshold amounts.

BACK-UP WITHHOLDING

A Fund may be required to withhold federal income tax at the rate of 24% of all taxable distributions payable to you if you fail to provide the Fund with your correct taxpayer identification number or to make required certifications or if you have been notified by the IRS that you are subject to back-up withholding. Back-up withholding is not an additional tax; rather, it is a way in which the IRS ensures it will collect taxes otherwise due. Any amounts withheld may be credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability.

FOREIGN TAXES

If more than 50% of the value of a Fund’s total assets at the close of its taxable year consists of securities of foreign corporations, that Fund will be eligible and may elect to treat a proportionate amount of certain foreign taxes paid

109 | PROSPECTUS

by it as a distribution to each shareholder which would generally permit each shareholder either (1) to credit this amount (subject to applicable limitations) or (2) to deduct this amount for purposes of computing its U.S. federal income tax liability. The Fund will notify you if it makes this election.

FOREIGN SHAREHOLDERS

Shareholders other than U.S. persons may be subject to different U.S. federal income tax treatment, including withholding tax at the rate of 30% on amounts treated as ordinary dividends (and, under certain circumstances, at the rate of 35% on certain capital gain dividends) from a Fund, as discussed in more detail in the SAI.

COST BASIS

A Fund (or its administrative agents) or, for a shareholder that purchased Fund shares through a financial intermediary, the financial intermediary, is generally required to report to the IRS and furnish to Fund shareholders cost basis and holding period information upon a redemption of “covered shares” (those generally purchased on or after January 1, 2012, and sold on or after that date).

The Funds will permit shareholders of Class A, Class C and Institutional Class shares to elect from among several cost basis methods, including average cost, FIFO, LIFO and HIFO. In the absence of an election, the Funds will use a default cost basis method which is the average cost method. The cost basis method elected by a shareholder of Class A, Class C and Institutional Class shares (or the cost basis method applied by default) for each sale of Fund shares may not be changed after the close of business on the trade date of each such sale of Fund shares.

Shareholders of Class P shares should contact the financial intermediary through whom Fund shares were purchased for more information with respect to reporting of cost basis and available elections for their account.

Fund shareholders should consult with their tax advisers prior to making redemptions to determine the appropriate cost basis method for their tax situation and to obtain more information about the cost basis reporting rules.

You should consult your tax professional about federal, state and local tax consequences to you of an investment in the Funds. Please see the SAI for additional tax information.

Determination of Net Asset Value

The price at which you buy, sell and exchange shares is the net asset value per share (plus any applicable initial sales charge), which also is known as NAV. Each Fund calculates its NAV by:

•Taking the current market value of its total assets;

•Subtracting any liabilities; and

•Dividing that amount by the total number of shares owned by shareholders.

Each Fund generally calculates its NAV once each Business Day as of the regularly scheduled close of normal trading on the NYSE (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time). The NYSE is open Monday through Friday, except on observation of the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, President’s Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. If the NYSE has an earlier closing time (scheduled or unscheduled), such as on days in advance of holidays generally observed by the NYSE-a Fund may calculate its NAV as of the earlier closing time or calculate its NAV as of the normally scheduled close of regular trading on the NYSE for that day, so long as the Fund’s Investment Manager believes there generally remains an adequate market to obtain reliable and accurate market quotations. A Fund generally does not calculate its NAV on any non-Business Day. However, if the NYSE is closed for any other reason on a day it would normally be open for business, a Fund may calculate its NAV as of the normally scheduled close of regular trading on the NYSE for that day, so long as the Fund’s Investment Manager believes there generally remains an adequate market to obtain reliable and accurate market quotations. Each Fund discloses its NAV on a daily basis. For more information, or to obtain a Fund’s NAV, please call 800.820.0888 or visit the Guggenheim Investments website-www.guggenheiminvestments.com.

When calculating the NAV, each Fund will value the portfolio securities and assets of the Fund for which market quotations are readily available at the current market price of those securities and assets. With respect to portfolio securities and assets of a Fund for which market quotations are not readily available, or which cannot be accurately valued under the Funds' valuation procedures, the Fund will fair value those securities and assets.

Equity securities traded on a domestic securities exchange (including ETFs) will usually be valued at the last sale price on the security's primary U.S. exchange or market on the day the valuation is made, provided, however, that securities listed on NASDAQ will usually be valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price, which may not necessarily represent the last sale price. If no sale is reported, then the last bid price is used.

PROSPECTUS | 110

Discount notes with a maturity greater than 60 days at the time of purchase will usually be valued based on pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees, when available. Prices obtained from pricing services use various inputs, methods, models and assumptions, which may include information provided by broker-dealers and other market makers. Discount notes with a maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, unless it is deemed that amortized cost does not represent fair value, in which case the applicable asset will be valued using prices obtained from pricing services. If prices obtained from pricing services are unavailable, then securities are generally fair valued. Certain securities may also be valued based on broker bid prices.

With respect to an underlying open-end mutual fund (“underlying mutual fund”) in which a Fund may invest (other than ETFs), the Fund values the shares of the underlying mutual fund at the underlying mutual fund’s NAV and the prospectus for the underlying mutual fund explains the circumstances under which the underlying mutual fund will use fair value pricing and the effects of fair value pricing.

For foreign securities and other assets that are priced in a currency other than U.S. dollars, a Fund will convert the security or asset from the local currency into U.S. dollars using the relevant current exchange rate. Foreign securities may trade in their primary markets on weekends or other days when the Funds do not price their shares and, therefore, the value of portfolio securities of a Fund may change on days when shareholders will be unable to purchase or redeem the Fund's shares.

If market quotations are not readily available, are unreliable, or a significant event has occurred, securities are priced at fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Board of Trustees. For example, market prices may be unavailable if trading in a particular portfolio security was halted during the day and did not resume prior to a Fund’s NAV calculation. The Investment Manager may view market prices as unreliable when the value of a security has been materially affected by events occurring after the market closes, but prior to the time as of which a Fund calculates its NAV.

The use of fair valuation in pricing a security involves the consideration of a number of subjective factors and therefore, is susceptible to the unavoidable risk that the valuation may be higher or lower than the price at which the security might actually trade if a reliable market price were readily available.

More information about the valuation of the Funds’ holdings can be found in the SAI and the Funds' shareholder reports.

General Information

SHAREHOLDER INQUIRIES

Shareholders of Class A, Class C and Institutional Class shares who have questions concerning their account or wish to obtain additional information may call the Funds (see back cover for address and telephone numbers) or contact their securities dealer. Client requests for historical account transcripts or the retrieval of a significant amount of documentation may be honored to the extent that those records are readily available. The Funds reserve the right, upon notice, to charge you a fee to cover the costs of special requests for information that require extensive research or employee resources.

Shareholders of Class P shares who have questions concerning their account or wish to obtain additional information should contact the broker/dealer or other financial intermediary through whom Fund shares were purchased (or are held).

OTHER INFORMATION

The Prospectus and SAI, related regulatory filings, and any other Fund communications or disclosure documents do not purport to create any contractual obligations between the Funds and shareholders. The Funds may amend any of these documents or enter into (or amend) a contract on behalf of the Funds without shareholder approval except where shareholder approval is specifically required. Further, shareholders are not intended third-party beneficiaries of any contracts entered into by (or on behalf of) the Funds, including contracts with an Investment Manager or other parties who provide services to the Funds.

Each Fund may offer other classes of shares not included in this prospectus that have different expense levels, performance history and eligibility requirements from the share classes offered in this prospectus. You may not be eligible for every share class. Your financial intermediary may not offer or otherwise make available all share classes of a Fund. As such, the share class you or your intermediary select may have higher fees and/or sales charges than other classes of shares available through other financial intermediaries. Your financial intermediary may receive different compensation for selling one class of shares than for selling another class, which may depend on, among other things, the type of investor account and the policies, procedures and practices adopted by your financial

Financial Highlights

The financial highlights tables are intended to help you understand each Fund’s financial performance for the past five complete fiscal years, or the period since commencement of a Fund or share class, if shorter. Certain information reflects financial results for a single Fund share. The total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in a Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). The information provided below has been derived from financial statements that have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm, whose report, along with each Fund’s financial statements and related notes, are included in the Funds’ 2017 Annual Reports. The 2017 Annual Reports are available upon request and are incorporated by reference in the SAI.

Effective January 28, 2014 (and September 24, 2014 for Guggenheim Alpha Opportunity Fund), the Funds, which were series of Security Equity Fund, Security Large Cap Value Fund or Security Mid Cap Growth Fund, Kansas corporations, reorganized with and into corresponding series of Guggenheim Funds Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (each, a “Reorganization”). Upon completion of each Reorganization, the respective share classes of each Fund assumed the performance, financial and other historical information of those of the corresponding predecessor fund.

Effective January 28, 2015 , significant changes to the Guggenheim Alpha Opportunity Fund's principal investment strategies and portfolio managers were made.
