Item 29.    Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with Registrant
The Board of Trustees of the Registrant is the same as the board of certain other registrants, each of which has Security Investors, LLC (“Security Investors”), Guggenheim Partners Investment Management, LLC (“GPIM”), or an affiliate of Security Investors or GPIM, as its investment adviser. In addition, the officers of the Registrant are substantially identical to those of the other registrants. Nonetheless, the Registrant takes the position that it is not under common control with the other registrants because the power residing in the respective boards and officers arises as the result of an official position with the respective registrants.
The Trust through Guggenheim Macro Opportunities Fund, a separate series of the Trust, wholly owns and controls the Guggenheim Macro Opportunities Fund CFC ("Subsidiary"), a company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The Subsidiary's financial statements will be included, on a consolidated basis, in the Fund’s annual and semi-annual reports to shareholders.
Item 30.    Indemnification
Article VII, Section III of the Registrant’s Declaration of Trust, which is filed hereunder, provides for indemnification of the Trustees, officers, employees and other agents of the Registrant who are parties pursuant to any proceeding by reason of their actions performed in their scope of service on behalf of the Trust.
A policy of insurance covering Security Investors, LLC, Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC, the Registrant and certain other registrants advised by Security Investors, GPIM, or an affiliate of Security Investors or GPIM insures the Registrant’s trustees and officers against liability arising by reason of an alleged breach of duty caused by any negligent act, error or accidental omission in the scope of their duties. The independent trustees are also covered under a joint independent directors liability (“DL”) insurance policy that covers the independent trustees of the other registrants.
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such trustee, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
Item 31.        Business or Other Connections of Investment Adviser
Security Investors serves as investment adviser to Guggenheim Alpha Opportunity Fund, Guggenheim High Yield Fund, Guggenheim Investment Grade Bond Fund, Guggenheim Large Cap Value Fund, Guggenheim SMid Cap Value Fund, Guggenheim Municipal Income Fund, Guggenheim Small Cap Value Fund, Guggenheim StylePlus-Large Core Fund, Guggenheim StylePlus-Mid Growth Fund and Guggenheim World Equity Income Fund. Security Investors is primarily engaged in the provision of investment advisory and management services to mutual funds and private accounts. The directors and officers of Security Investors consist primarily of persons who during the past two years have been active in the investment management business. To the knowledge of the Registrant, except as set forth below, as applicable, none of the directors or executive officers of Security Investors is or has been engaged in any other business, profession, vocation or employment of a substantial nature during the past two fiscal years. Information as to the executive officers and directors of Security Investors is included in its Form ADV as filed with the SEC (File No. 801-8008) pursuant to the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.





GPIM serves as investment adviser for Guggenheim Diversified Income Fund, Guggenheim Floating Rate Strategies Fund, Guggenheim Limited Duration Fund, Guggenheim Macro Opportunities Fund, Guggenheim Market Neutral Real Estate Fund, Guggenheim Total Return Bond Fund, Guggenheim Risk Managed Real Estate Fund, Guggenheim Capital Stewardship Fund and Guggenheim Ultra Short Duration Fund. GPIM also serves as investment sub-adviser to Guggenheim Municipal Income Fund. GPIM is primarily engaged in the provision of investment advisory and management services to registered investment companies and private accounts. The directors and officers of GPIM consist primarily of persons who during the past two years have been active in the investment management business. To the knowledge of the Registrant, except as set forth below, as applicable, none of the directors or executive officers of GPIM is or has been at any time during the past two fiscal years engaged in any other business, profession, vocation or employment of a substantial nature. Information as to the executive officers and directors of GPIM is included in its Form ADV as filed with the SEC (File No. 801-66786) pursuant to the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.

Re:
Guggenheim Funds Trust
File Nos. 002-19458 and 811-01136

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel for Guggenheim Funds Trust (the “Trust” or the “Registrant”), a Delaware statutory trust, in connection with the filing of Post-Effective Amendment No. 277 to the Registrant’s registration statement on Form N-1A under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) and Amendment No. 277 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Registration Statement”) relating to the issuance and sale by the Registrant of the shares of the series and classes listed in Appendix A (the “Fund”).

This opinion is limited to the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, and we express no opinion with respect to the laws of any other jurisdiction or to any other laws of the State of Delaware. Further, we express no opinion as to compliance with any state or federal securities laws, including the securities laws of the State of Delaware.

In connection with the opinion set forth herein, we have examined the following Trust documents: the Trust’s Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust; the Trust’s Amended and Restated By-Laws; and such other Trust records, certificates, resolutions and documents that we have deemed relevant in order to render the opinion expressed herein. In addition, we have reviewed and relied upon a certificate dated January 24, 2020 issued by the Delaware Secretary of State.

In rendering this opinion we have assumed, without independent verification: (i) the due authority of all individuals signing in representative capacities and the genuineness of signatures; (ii) the authenticity, completeness and continued effectiveness of all documents or copies furnished to us; (iii) that any resolutions provided have been duly adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees; (iv) that the facts contained in the instruments and certificates or statements of public officials, officers and representatives of the Trust on which we have relied for the purposes of this opinion are true and correct; and (v) that no amendments, agreements, resolutions or actions have been approved, executed or adopted which would limit, supersede or modify the items described above. Where documents are referred to in resolutions approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees, or in the Registration


Statement, we have assumed such documents are the same as in the most recent form provided to us, whether as an exhibit to the Registration Statement or otherwise.

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the shares of the Fund have been duly authorized for issuance and, when issued and delivered against payment therefore in accordance with the terms, conditions, requirements and procedures described in the Registration Statement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable beneficial interests in the Fund.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and to the use of our name in the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, however, we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required by Section 7 of the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.



Very truly yours,


/s/ Dechert LLP
