The Funds are very different from most mutual funds in that they seek to provide leveraged or leveraged inverse investment results on a daily basis and are intended to be used as short-term trading vehicles. The Funds are not intended to be used by, and are not appropriate for, investors who do not intend to actively manage and monitor their portfolios. Each Leveraged Inverse Fund pursues an investment goal which is inverse to 200% of the performance of its underlying index, a result opposite of most other mutual funds. Investors should note that the pursuit of such leveraged and leveraged inverse investment goals has the following implications: • The Funds are riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the performance of an investment in a Fund is magnified. • The effect of leverage on a Fund will generally cause the Fund’s performance to not match the performance of the Fund’s benchmark (i.e.., 200% or -200% of the performance of its underlying index) over a period of time greater than one day. This means that the return of a Fund for a period of longer than a single trading day will be the result of each day’s compounded returns over the period, which will very likely differ from the return of the Fund’s benchmark for that period. As a consequence, especially during periods of market volatility, the path or trend of the benchmark during the longer period may be at least as important to the Fund’s cumulative return for the longer period as the cumulative return of the benchmark for the relevant longer period. Further, the return for investors who invest for a period longer than a single trading day will not be the product of the return of a Fund’s stated investment goal (i.e., 2x or -2x) and the cumulative performance of the Fund’s benchmark. In addition, as a result of compounding, a Fund’s performance for periods greater than one day is likely to be either greater than or less than the performance of the Fund’s underlying index times the stated multiple in the Fund’s investment objective, before accounting for fees and fund expenses.
The Funds are not suitable for all investors. The Funds are designed to be utilized only by sophisticated investors, such as traders and active investors employing dynamic strategies. Investors in the Funds should: (a) understand the risks associated with the use of leverage, (b) understand the consequences of seeking daily leveraged investment results, (c) for the Leveraged Inverse Funds, understand the risks of shorting, and (d)  intend to actively manage and monitor their investments. Investors who do not understand the Funds or do not actively manage and monitor their investments should not buy shares of the Funds.
Each Leveraged Fund seeks daily exposure to its underlying index equal to 200% of its net assets. Each Leveraged Inverse Fund seeks daily exposure to its underlying index equal to -200% of its net assets. As a consequence, for each Fund the risk of total loss of your investment exists in the event of a movement of the Fund’s underlying index in excess of 50% in a direction adverse to the Fund (meaning a decline in the value of the underlying index of a Leveraged Fund and a gain in the value of the underlying index of a Leveraged Inverse Fund). In short, the risk of total loss of your investment exists.
There is no assurance that any Fund will achieve its investment objective and an investment in a Fund could lose money. No single Fund is a complete investment program.

S&P 500® 2x Strategy Fund
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The S&P 500® 2x Strategy Fund (the “Fund”) is very different from most other mutual funds in that it seeks daily leveraged investment results. As a result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the performance of an investment in the Fund is magnified.
The effect of leverage on the Fund will generally cause the Fund’s performance to not match the performance of the Fund’s benchmark (as described below) over a period of time greater than a single trading day. This means that the return of the Fund for a period of longer than a single trading day will be the result of each day’s compounded returns over the period, which will very likely differ from twice the return of the Fund’s underlying index (as defined below) for that period. As a consequence, especially in periods of market volatility, the path or trend of the benchmark during the longer period may be at least as important to the Fund’s cumulative return for the longer period as the cumulative return of the benchmark for the relevant longer period. Further, the return for investors who invest for a period longer than a single trading day will not be the product of the return of the Fund’s stated investment goal (i.e., 2x) and the cumulative performance of the benchmark.
The Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund should be utilized only by investors who (a) understand the risks associated with the use of leverage, (b) understand the consequences of seeking daily leveraged investment results, and (c) intend to actively monitor and manage their investments. Investors who do not meet these criteria should not buy shares of the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a complete investment program.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The Fund seeks to provide investment results that match, before fees and expenses, the performance of a specific benchmark on a daily basis. The Fund’s current benchmark is 200% of the performance of the S&P 500® Index (the “underlying index”). The Fund does not seek to achieve its investment objective over a period of time greater than one day.
FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE FUND
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell Class A shares or Class C shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below. 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 certain funds in the Guggenheim Investments family of funds. 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 under the “Sales Charges” section on page 137 of the Prospectus, in Appendix A to the Prospectus — "Sales Charge Waivers and Discounts Available Through Intermediaries," and in the “Sales Charges, Reductions and Waivers” section beginning on page 68 of the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information (the “SAI”).

“Other Expenses” does not include fees paid to the Fund’s swap contract counterparties, or the management fees, performance fees, and expenses of the reference assets or trading vehicles underlying such swap contracts. These fees and expenses, which are not reflected in this Annual Fund Operating Expenses table, are embedded in the returns of the swap contracts (i.e., the fees and expenses reduce the investment returns of the swap contracts) and represent an indirect cost of investing in the Fund.

The Advisor has contractually agreed, through August 1, 2027, to waive and/or reimburse the Fund’s expenses in an amount equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. In addition, the Advisor also has contractually agreed, through August 1, 2027, to waive and/or reimburse the Fund’s expenses in an additional amount equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Each agreement shall automatically renew for one-year terms unless the Advisor provides written notice to the Fund of the termination of the agreement. Each agreement may be terminated at any time by the Fund’s Board of Trustees and when the Advisor ceases to serve as such.
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 your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
 
1 Year
3 Years
5 Years

$647
$1,029
$1,434
$2,564
Class C

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 the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 1445% of the average value of its portfolio. The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments and most derivatives. If such instruments were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate might be significantly higher.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Fund employs as its investment strategy a program of investing in the common stock of companies that are generally within the capitalization range of the underlying index and derivative instruments, which primarily consist of equity index swaps and swaps on exchange-traded funds, futures contracts, and options on securities, futures contracts, and stock indices. While the Fund may write (sell) and purchase swaps, it expects primarily to purchase swaps. Swap agreements and futures and options contracts, if used properly, may enable the Fund to meet its objective by increasing the Fund’s exposure to the securities included in the underlying index or in the same proportion that those securities are represented in the Fund's benchmark. The Fund’s investment in derivatives referencing (i) the underlying index, or (ii) securities included in the underlying index, serves as a substitute for investments in each of the securities of companies included in the underlying index and will be counted towards the Fund’s 80% investment policy (as set forth below). The Advisor attempts to consistently apply leverage to increase the Fund's exposure to 200% of the underlying index, and expects to rebalance the Fund’s holdings daily to maintain such exposure. The Fund’s use of derivatives and the leveraged investment exposure created by such use are expected to be significant. Certain of the Fund’s derivatives investments may be traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in securities of companies included in the S&P 500® Index and financial instruments with economic characteristics that should perform similarly to the securities of companies in the S&P 500® Index.
The S&P 500® Index is a capitalization-weighted index composed of approximately 500 common stocks, which are chosen by the Standard & Poor’s Corporation on a statistical basis, and which generally represent large-capitalization companies with capitalizations ranging from $6.7 billion to $4.8 trillion as of June 30, 2026. Certain of the companies included in the S&P 500® Index may be structured as real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). To the extent the Fund’s underlying index is concentrated in a particular industry the Fund will necessarily be concentrated in that industry. As of June 30, 2026, the underlying index components, and thus the Fund's investments, are concentrated (i.e., more than 25% of its assets) in securities issued by companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry, a separate industry within the Information Technology Sector. The industries in which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund's investments, may be concentrated will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. Also, while the Fund’s sector exposure may vary over time, as of June 30, 2026, the Fund has significant exposure to the Communication Services Sector, Consumer Discretionary Sector, Consumer Staples Sector, Financials Sector, Health Care Sector, Industrials Sector, and Information Technology Sector, as each sector is defined by the Global Industry Classification Standard, a widely recognized industry classification methodology developed by MSCI, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC.
On a day-to-day basis, the Fund may hold short-term U.S. government securities or cash equivalents. The Fund also may enter into repurchase agreements with counterparties that are deemed to present acceptable credit risks. In an effort to ensure that the Fund is fully invested on a day-to-day basis, the Fund may conduct any necessary trading activity at or just prior to the close of the U.S. financial markets. 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.
Investments in derivative instruments, such as futures, options and swap agreements, have the economic effect of creating financial leverage in the Fund’s portfolio because such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the amount the Fund has invested in those instruments. Financial leverage will magnify, sometimes significantly, the Fund’s exposure to any increase or decrease in prices associated with a particular reference asset resulting in increased volatility in the value of the Fund’s portfolio. The value of the Fund’s portfolio is likely to experience greater volatility over short-term periods. While such financial leverage has the potential to produce greater gains, it also may result in greater losses, which in some cases may cause the Fund to liquidate other portfolio investments at a loss to comply with limits on leverage imposed by the Investment Company Act of 1940, satisfy margin or collateral requirements, or meet redemption requests.
PRINCIPAL RISKS
The value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate and is subject to investment risks, which means investors could lose money, including all or part of their investment in the Fund. 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. An investment in the Fund does not constitute a complete investment program. The Fund is subject to certain risks and the principal risks of investing in the Fund are summarized below in alphabetical order, and not in the order of importance or potential exposure. The relative significance of each
PROSPECTUS | 3

principal risk summarized below may change over time and you should review each risk carefully because any one or more of these risks may result in losses to the Fund. Please see “More Information About the Trust and the Funds – Principal Risks” in the Fund’s Prospectus for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund.
Compounding Risk—In addition to the correlation risks described under “Correlation Risk”, the Fund’s returns are subject to the effects of compounding, which generally will cause the Fund’s performance to not correlate to the performance of the benchmark over periods greater than a single day, before accounting for fees and fund expenses. Compounded returns are the result of reinvesting daily returns over periods greater than a single day. The Fund’s compounded returns for periods greater than a single day will be different than the performance of the benchmark over the same period. The effects of compounding on the performance of the Fund will be more pronounced when the underlying index experiences increased volatility, the greater the leverage employed in the Fund, and over longer holding periods.
Compounding affects the performance of all investments over time, but has a more significant effect on a leveraged index fund because the magnified changes in performance produced by the use of leverage lead to greater increases and decreases in the fund’s daily returns which are then compounded over time. The effects of compounding, therefore, have a more significant effect on the Fund because it seeks to match a multiple of the performance of the Fund’s underlying index on a daily basis.
Fund performance for periods greater than one day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: (a) underlying index performance; (b) underlying index volatility; (c) financing rates associated with leverage; (d) other Fund expenses; (e) dividends or interest paid by companies in the underlying index; and (f) period of time. The table below illustrates the impact of two principal factors – volatility and index performance – on Fund performance. The table shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of performance and volatility over a one-year period. Performance shown in the table assumes: (a) no dividends paid by the companies included in the underlying index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) a cost of leverage of zero percent. If Fund expenses, including the cost of leverage, were included, the Fund’s performance would be lower than shown.
The unshaded areas in the table below represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return more than twice the performance of the underlying index; conversely, the shaded areas in the table below represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than twice the performance of the underlying index.

The underlying index’s annualized historical volatility rate for the five-year period ended June 30, 2026 is 15.85%. The underlying index’s highest one-year volatility rate during the five-year period is 20.58%. The underlying index’s annualized performance for the five-year period ended June 30, 2026 is 13.41%.
4 | PROSPECTUS

Historical underlying index volatility and performance are not indications of what the underlying index volatility and performance will be in the future. The table is intended to isolate the effects of the underlying index volatility and index performance on the return of the Fund, and underscore that the Fund is designed as a short-term trading vehicle for investors who intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios.
Correlation Risk—A number of factors may affect the Fund’s ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with its benchmark, including instances in which the Fund does not hold or have exposure to each component security of the underlying index and the effect of compounding on the Fund’s returns, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The Fund does not attempt to, and should not be expected to, provide returns  which are a multiple of the returns of the underlying index for periods other than a single day. The risk of the Fund not achieving its daily investment objective will be more acute when the underlying index has an extreme one-day movement approaching 50%. In addition, as a result of compounding, the Fund’s performance for periods greater than a single day is likely to be either greater than or less than the performance of the underlying index times the stated multiple in the Fund’s investment objective, before accounting for Fund fees and expenses.
Counterparty Credit Risk—The Fund makes investments in financial instruments and 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, to hedge a position, or for other investment purposes. Through these investments and related arrangements (e.g., prime brokerage or securities lending arrangements or derivatives transactions), the Fund is exposed to credit risks that the counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments or otherwise to meet its contractual obligations. If the counterparty becomes insolvent or defaults on (or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling to perform) its payment or other 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 or other assets held by, or on behalf of, the counterparty. If this occurs, the value of your shares in the Fund will decrease. Counterparty credit risk also includes the related risk of having potentially significant exposure to such counterparty.
Derivatives Risk—Derivatives and other instruments (collectively referred to in this paragraph as “derivatives”) pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other investments, including risks relating to leverage, market conditions and market risk, imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, high price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty credit, liquidity, valuation, operational and legal restrictions and risk. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. In addition, 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. Changes in the value of a derivative also may create sudden margin delivery or settlement payment obligations for the Fund, which can materially affect the performance of the Fund, its liquidity, and other aspects of the Fund’s risk profile. The Fund’s use of derivatives to obtain short exposure, if any,  may result in greater volatility of the Fund's net asset value (“NAV”) per share. If the Advisor is incorrect about its expectations of market conditions, the use of derivatives also could result in a loss, which in some cases may be unlimited. Certain risks are specific to the particular type of derivative instrument in which the Fund may invest. For example, 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 counterparty, credit, legal, liquidity and valuation risks.
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 include imperfect correlation between the movements in the price of the instruments and the price of the underlying assets. In addition, there is a 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 futures positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Advisor, 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 also are subject to leverage and liquidity risks. The Fund may invest in standard futures contracts, e-mini futures contracts, and micro e-mini futures contracts depending on the investment exposure needs of the Fund. E-mini futures contracts and micro e-mini futures contracts are similar to standard futures contracts, except that they are electronically traded and e-mini futures contracts generally are one-fifth the size of standard futures contracts and micro e-mini futures contracts generally are one-tenth the size of e-mini futures contracts.
PROSPECTUS | 5

Options Risk—Options and 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. Options are subject to correlation risk because there may be an imperfect correlation between the options and the markets for underlying instruments that could cause a given transaction to fail to achieve its objectives. The successful use of options depends on the Advisor’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 options positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Advisor, thus limiting the ability to implement the Fund’s strategies. Options also are particularly subject to leverage risk and can be subject to liquidity risk.
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, for certain standardized swaps, must be traded on a designated contract market or swap execution facility. 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. While exchange trading and central clearing are intended to reduce counterparty credit risk and increase liquidity, they 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, which could increase the cost of swap transactions to the Fund and impose added operational complexity.
Early Closing Risk—The Fund is subject to the risk that unanticipated early closings of securities exchanges and other financial markets may result in the Fund’s inability to buy or sell securities or other financial instruments on that day and may cause the Fund to incur substantial trading losses.
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 more than those of 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.
Industry Concentration Risk—The Fund may concentrate its investments in a limited number of issuers conducting business in the same industry or group of related industries. To the extent the Fund does so, the Fund is more vulnerable to adverse market, economic, regulatory, political or other developments affecting that industry or group of related industries than a fund that invests its assets more broadly. As of June 30, 2026, the underlying index components, and thus the Fund's investments, are concentrated in securities issued by companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry. As a result of the Fund’s concentration in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry, the Fund is subject to the risks associated with that Industry. The Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry includes manufacturers of semiconductor equipment, including equipment used in the solar power industry (e.g., raw wafers, gases, liquids and related packaging and material delivery systems), and semiconductors and related products, including manufacturers of solar modules, cells, integrated circuit devices, diodes and light-emitting diodes (LEDs), microprocessors and chips. Companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry rely heavily on technology. The prices of the securities of companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry may fluctuate widely due to competitive pressures, increased sensitivity to short product cycles and aggressive pricing, heavy expenses incurred for research and development of products or services that prove unsuccessful, problems related to bringing products to market, and rapid obsolescence of products. Legislative or regulatory changes and increased government supervision also may affect companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry. The Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry is a separate industry within the Information Technology Sector.
Interest Rate Risk—Fixed income and other debt instruments are subject to the possibility that interest rates could change (or are expected to change). Changes in interest rates (or the expectation of such changes) can be difficult to forecast and may adversely affect the Fund’s investments in these instruments, such as the value or liquidity of, and income generated by, the investments. Interest rates may change as a result of a variety of factors, and the
6 | PROSPECTUS

change may be sudden and significant, with unpredictable impacts on the financial markets and the Fund’s investments. Fixed income and other debt instruments with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates and, thus, subject to more volatility than similar instruments with shorter durations. Generally, when interest rates increase, the values of previously issued fixed income and other debt instruments decline and when interest rates decrease, the values of fixed income and other debt instruments rise. During periods of rising interest rates, changes in interest rates on adjustable rate securities may lag behind changes in market rates, which may cause the value of such securities to decline until their interest rates reset to market rates. During periods of declining interest rates, because the interest rates on adjustable rate securities generally reset downward, their market value is unlikely to rise to the same extent as the value of comparable fixed rate securities. The Fund’s yield, returns, and performance may be adversely affected by changing interest rates and the Fund’s NAV per share may be more volatile during changing interest rate environments. Changes in fiscal, economic, monetary and other policies or measures have in the past, and may in the future, cause or exacerbate the risks associated with changing interest rates. Changes in interest rates may also lead to an increase in Fund redemptions, which may result in high portfolio turnover costs and lower valuations, thereby adversely affecting the Fund’s performance.
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.
Leveraging Risk—The Fund achieves leveraged exposure to the underlying index through the use of derivative instruments. The more the Fund invests in leveraged instruments, the more this leverage will magnify any losses on those investments. The Fund’s investment in these instruments generally requires a small investment relative to the amount of investment exposure assumed. As a result, such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the amount invested in those instruments. Since the Fund’s investment strategy involves consistently applied leverage, the value of the Fund’s shares will tend to increase or decrease more than the value of any increase or decrease in the underlying index. Leverage will have the effect of magnifying tracking error and also may increase the Fund’s sensitivity to various risks and interest rate environments.
Liquidity and Valuation Risk—It may be difficult for the Fund to purchase and sell particular investments to meet redemption requests or otherwise within a reasonable time at a fair price, or the price at which it has been valued by the Advisor for purposes of the Fund’s NAV, causing the Fund to be less liquid and unable to realize what the Advisor 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. Liquidity and valuation risks are heightened in a changing interest rate or volatile environment particularly for fixed-income and other debt instruments.
Market Risk—The value of, or income generated by, the investments held by the Fund may fluctuate rapidly and unpredictably. These fluctuations may be frequent and significant. In addition, the Fund may incur losses as a result of various market and economic factors, such as those affecting (or perceived to affect) individual companies or issuers or particular industries, or from broader influences, such as general market conditions. In addition, responses to government actions or interventions (including, but not limited, to the threat or imposition of tariffs, trade restrictions, currency restrictions or similar actions) as well as developments related to economic, political (including geopolitical), social, public health, market, extreme weather, natural or man-made disasters or other conditions or events may cause volatility in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and/or debt markets, which could adversely impact the Fund and its investments and their value and performance. Under such conditions, the Fund (or an underlying fund) may experience significant redemption activity by shareholders and could be forced to sell portfolio securities or other assets at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate sufficient cash to pay redeeming shareholders. Certain securities may be difficult to value under such conditions. The Fund’s investments may perform poorly or underperform the general securities markets or other types of securities.
Non-Diversification Risk—The Fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single issuer's securities could cause greater fluctuations in the value of Fund shares than would occur in a diversified fund. The Fund may become diversified for periods of time solely as a result of changes in the composition of the underlying index (e.g., changes in the relative market capitalization or weights of one or more index component stocks).
PROSPECTUS | 7

OTC Trading Risk—Certain of the derivatives in which the Fund may invest may be traded (and privately negotiated) in the OTC market. While the OTC derivatives market is the primary trading venue for many derivatives, it is largely unregulated and provides for less transparency than a national securities or commodities exchange. As a result and similar to other privately negotiated contracts, the Fund is subject to counterparty credit risk with respect to such derivatives contracts.
Passive Investment Risk—The Fund is not actively managed and the Advisor does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. Therefore, the Fund may be subject to greater losses in a declining market than a fund that is actively managed.
Portfolio Turnover Risk—Periodic rebalancing of the Fund's holdings pursuant to its daily investment objective may lead to a greater number of portfolio transactions in the Fund than experienced by other mutual funds. Such frequent and active trading may lead to significantly higher transaction costs because of increased broker commissions associated with such transactions.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) Risk—REITs are classified as equity REITs, mortgage REITs or hybrid REITs. Equity REITs own real estate directly and the value of, and income earned by, the REITs depends upon the income of the underlying properties and the rental income they earn. Mortgage REITs make construction, development or long-term mortgage loans and are sensitive to the credit quality of the borrower. Mortgage REITs derive their income from interest earned on such mortgage loans. Hybrid REITs generally hold both ownership interests and mortgage interests in real estate. In addition to the risks pertaining to real estate investments more generally, REITs may be subject to additional risks, including risks associated with the direct ownership of real property, including declines in the value of real estate, risks related to general and local economic conditions, overbuilding and increased competition, increases in property taxes and operating expenses and variations in rental income. REITs (especially mortgage REITs) also are subject to interest rate and prepayment 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. U.S. REITs also are 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.
Regulatory and Legal Risk—U.S. and non-U.S. governmental agencies and other regulators regularly implement additional regulations (or amend regulations) and legislators pass new laws that affect the investments held by the Fund, the strategies used by the Fund and/or the level of regulation or taxation applicable to the Fund, its investments or service providers. These developments impact the investment strategies, performance, costs and operations of the Fund or taxation of shareholders.
Repurchase Agreement Risk—The Fund’s investment in repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk with respect to the collateral securing the repurchase agreements. Investments in repurchase agreements also may be subject to the risk that the market value of the underlying obligations may decline prior to the expiration of the repurchase agreement term.
Sector Risk—To the extent the components of the Fund’s underlying index, and therefore, the Fund’s holdings, have significant exposure to one or more market sectors, the Fund may be especially sensitive to the developments affecting and risks of such market sectors. The sectors to which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund’s assets, may have significant exposure will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. As of June 30, 2026, the Fund is subject to the Sector Risks described below.
Communication Services Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Communication Services Sector. The Communication Services Sector includes companies that facilitate communication and offer related content and information through various mediums. It includes telecom and media & entertainment companies, including producers of interactive gaming products and companies engaged in content and information creation or distribution through proprietary platforms. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Communication Services Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Communication Services Sector has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall economy and also is affected by economic
8 | PROSPECTUS

growth, consumer confidence, attitudes and spending. Increased sensitivity to short product cycles and aggressive pricing, challenges in bringing products to market and changes in demographics and consumer tastes also can affect the demand for, and success of, communication services products and services in the marketplace.
Consumer Discretionary Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Consumer Discretionary Sector. The manufacturing segment of the Consumer Discretionary Sector includes automobiles and components, household durable goods, leisure products, and textiles and apparel. The services segment includes hotels, restaurants and other leisure facilities, and distributors and retailers of consumer discretionary products. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Consumer Discretionary Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Consumer Discretionary Sector has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall economy, and also is affected by economic growth, consumer confidence, attitudes and spending. Changes in demographics and consumer tastes also can affect the demand for, and success of, consumer products and services in the marketplace. Moreover, the Consumer Discretionary Sector encompasses those businesses that tend to be the most sensitive to economic cycles.
Consumer Staples Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Consumer Staples Sector. The Consumer Staples Sector includes manufacturers and distributors of food, beverages and tobacco and producers of non-durable household goods and personal products. The Consumer Staples Sector also includes distributors and retailers of other consumer staples products, including food and drug retailing companies. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Consumer Staples Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Consumer Staples Sector has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall economy, and also is affected by consumer confidence, demands and preferences, and spending. In addition, companies in the Consumer Staples Sector may be subject to risks pertaining to the supply of, demand for, and prices of raw materials.
Financials Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Financials Sector. The Financials Sector includes companies involved in banking, financial services (including commercial and residential mortgage finance), consumer finance, capital markets (including asset management and custody banks, investment banking and brokerage), Mortgage Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), and insurance. Certain Financials Sector issuers serve as counterparties with which the Fund may enter into derivatives agreements or other similar contractual arrangements. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Financials Sector, which may adversely affect a company's ability to fulfill its obligations as a financial counterparty. Companies operating in the Financials Sector are subject to extensive government regulation, which may limit the financial commitments they can make and the interest rates and fees they can charge. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and may fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition.
Health Care Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Health Care Sector. The Health Care Sector includes health care providers and services, companies that manufacture and distribute health care equipment and supplies, and health care technology companies. It also includes companies involved in the research, development, production and marketing of pharmaceuticals and biotechnology products. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Health Care Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Health Care Sector is closely tied to government regulation and policies (such as health care reform measures) and may be affected by government approval of products and services, competitive pricing pressures, rising costs of medical products and services, product obsolescence, and product liability and other similar litigation. In addition, companies operating in the Health Care Sector are heavily dependent on patent and other intellectual property rights, and a company’s ability to obtain and protect its patents (or the failure to do so) may affect profitability.
PROSPECTUS | 9

Industrials Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Industrials Sector. The Industrials Sector includes manufacturers and distributors of capital goods, such as aerospace and defense, building projects, electrical equipment and machinery, and companies that offer construction and engineering services. The Industrials Sector also includes providers of commercial and professional services including printing, environmental and facilities services, office services and supplies, security and alarm services, human resource and employment services, research and consulting services, and transportation services. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Industrials Sector. The prices of the securities of companies operating in the Industrials Sector may fluctuate due to the level and volatility of commodity prices, the exchange value of the dollar and economic conditions, import controls, worldwide competition, product liability claims, liability for environmental damage, depletion of resources, and mandated expenditures for safety and pollution control devices. In addition, the products of companies operating in the Industrials Sector may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments and the rapid introduction of new products.
Information Technology Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Information Technology Sector. The Information Technology Sector includes companies that offer software and information technology services, manufacturers and distributors of technology hardware and equipment (such as communications equipment, cellular phones, computers and peripherals), electronic equipment and related equipment and materials, and semiconductors and related equipment and materials. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Information Technology Sector. Companies in the Information Technology Sector may be affected by limited product lines, market competition (both domestically and internationally), financial resources and/or personnel. The prices of the securities of companies operating in the Information Technology Sector are closely tied to increased sensitivity to short product cycles and product obsolescence, aggressive pricing, and problems with bringing products to market. Failure to introduce new products, develop and maintain a loyal customer base, or achieve general market acceptance for products could have a material adverse effect on a company’s business. In addition, companies in the Information Technology Sector are heavily dependent on intellectual property and the loss of patent, copyright and trademark protections may adversely affect the profitability of these companies.
Shareholder Trading Risk—The Fund may be used as a tool for certain investors that employ trading strategies involving frequent trading. Such trading strategies may lead to increased portfolio turnover in the Fund, higher transaction costs, and the possibility of increased short-term capital gains (which will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income when distributed to them) and/or long-term capital gains. Large movements of assets into and out of the Fund due to active or frequent trading also may adversely affect the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective.
Tracking Error Risk—The Advisor may not be able to cause the Fund’s performance to match that of the Fund’s benchmark, either on a daily or aggregate basis. Factors such as Fund expenses, imperfect correlation between the Fund’s investments and those of the underlying index, rounding of share prices, changes to the composition of the underlying index, regulatory policies, high portfolio turnover rate, and the use of leverage all contribute to tracking error. Tracking error may cause the Fund’s performance to be less than you expect.
Trading Halt Risk—The Fund typically will hold futures contracts and short-term options. The major exchanges on which these contracts are traded, such as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, have established limits on how much the trading price of a futures contract or option may decline over various time periods within a day, and may halt trading in a contract that exceeds such limits. If a trading halt occurs, the Fund may temporarily be unable to purchase or sell certain securities, futures contracts or options. Such a trading halt near the time the Fund prices its shares may limit the Fund’s ability to use leverage and fully invest its assets, which could increase tracking error and adversely affect performance, and may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
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. In addition, U.S. government securities not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government involve credit risk that is greater than other types of U.S. government securities.

Inverse S&P 500® 2x Strategy Fund
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The Inverse S&P 500® 2x Strategy Fund (the “Fund”) is very different from most other mutual funds in that it seeks to provide leveraged investment results that match twice the inverse of the performance of a specific underlying index on a daily basis, a result opposite of most mutual funds. As a result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the performance of an investment in the Fund is magnified.
The effect of leverage on the Fund will generally cause the Fund’s performance to not match the performance of the Fund’s benchmark (as described below) over a period of time greater than a single trading day. This means that the return of the Fund for a period of longer than a single trading day will be the result of each day’s compounded returns over the period, which will very likely differ from twice the inverse return of the Fund’s underlying index (as defined below) for that period. As a consequence, especially in periods of market volatility, the path or trend of the benchmark during the longer period may be at least as important to the Fund’s cumulative return for the longer period as the cumulative return of the benchmark for the relevant longer period. Further, the return for investors who invest for a period longer than a single trading day will not be the product of the return of the Fund’s stated investment goal (i.e., -2x) and the cumulative performance of the benchmark.
The Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund should be utilized only by investors who (a) understand the risks associated with the use of leverage, (b) understand the consequences of seeking daily leveraged investment results, (c) understand the risks of shorting and (d) intend to actively monitor and manage their investments. Investors who do not meet these criteria should not buy shares of the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a complete investment program.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The Fund seeks to provide investment results that match, before fees and expenses, the performance of a specific benchmark on a daily basis. The Fund’s current benchmark is 200% of the inverse (opposite) of the performance of the S&P 500® Index (the “underlying index”). The Fund does not seek to achieve its investment objective over a period of time greater than one day.

“Other Expenses” does not include fees paid to the Fund’s swap contract counterparties, or the management fees, performance fees, and expenses of the reference assets or trading vehicles underlying such swap contracts. These fees and expenses, which are not reflected in this Annual Fund Operating Expenses table, are embedded in the returns of the swap contracts (i.e., the fees and expenses reduce the investment returns of the swap contracts) and represent an indirect cost of investing in the Fund.

The Advisor has contractually agreed, through August 1, 2027, to waive and/or reimburse the Fund’s expenses in an amount equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. In addition, the Advisor also has contractually agreed, through August 1, 2027, to waive and/or reimburse the Fund’s expenses in an additional amount equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Each agreement shall automatically renew for one-year terms unless the Advisor provides written notice to the Fund of the termination of the agreement. Each agreement may be terminated at any time by the Fund’s Board of Trustees and when the Advisor ceases to serve as such.
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.

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 the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its portfolio. The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments and most derivatives. If such instruments were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate might be significantly higher.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Fund employs as its investment strategy a program of engaging in short sales of securities generally included in the underlying index and investing in derivative instruments, which primarily consist of equity index swaps and swaps on exchange-traded funds, futures contracts, and options on securities, securities indices, and futures contracts. While the Fund may write (sell) and purchase swaps, it expects primarily to write swaps. The Advisor attempts to consistently apply leverage to increase the Fund's exposure to -200% of the underlying index and expects to rebalance the Fund's holdings daily to maintain such exposure. The Fund’s investment in derivatives referencing (i) the underlying index, or (ii) securities included in the underlying index, serves as a substitute for directly selling short each of the securities included in the underlying index and produces inverse exposure to the underlying index and to securities of companies included in the underlying index. These instruments will be counted towards the Fund’s 80% investment policy (as set forth below). Certain of the Fund’s derivatives investments may be traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in financial instruments with economic characteristics that should perform inversely to the securities of companies included in the S&P 500® Index.
The S&P 500® Index is a capitalization-weighted index composed of approximately 500 common stocks, which are chosen by the Standard & Poor’s Corporation on a statistical basis, and which generally represent large-capitalization companies with capitalizations ranging from $6.7 billion to $4.8 trillion as of June 30, 2026. Certain of the companies included in the S&P 500® Index may be structured as real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). To the extent the Fund’s underlying index is concentrated in a particular industry the Fund will necessarily be concentrated in that industry. As of June 30, 2026, the underlying index components, and thus the Fund's investments, are concentrated (i.e., more than 25% of its assets) in securities issued by companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry, a separate industry within the Information Technology Sector. The industries in which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund's investments, may be concentrated will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. Also, while the Fund's sector exposure may vary over time, as of June 30, 2026, the Fund has significant exposure to the Communication Services Sector, Consumer Discretionary Sector, Consumer Staples Sector, Financials Sector, Health Care Sector, Industrials Sector, and Information Technology Sector, as each sector is defined by the Global Industry Classification Standard, a widely recognized industry classification methodology developed by MSCI, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC.
On a day-to-day basis, the Fund may hold U.S. government securities or cash equivalents. The Fund also may enter into repurchase agreements with counterparties that are deemed to present acceptable credit risks. In an effort to ensure that the Fund is fully invested on a day-to-day basis, the Fund may conduct any necessary trading activity at or just prior to the close of the U.S. financial markets. 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.
Investments in derivative instruments, such as futures, options and swap agreements, have the economic effect of creating financial leverage in the Fund’s portfolio because such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the amount the Fund has invested in those instruments. Financial leverage will magnify, sometimes significantly, the Fund’s exposure to any increase or decrease in prices associated with a particular reference asset resulting in increased volatility in the value of the Fund’s portfolio. The value of the Fund’s portfolio is likely to experience greater volatility over short-term periods. While such financial leverage has the potential to produce greater gains, it also may result in greater losses, which in some cases may cause the Fund to liquidate other portfolio investments at a loss to comply with limits on leverage imposed by the Investment Company Act of 1940, satisfy margin or collateral requirements, or meet redemption requests.
PRINCIPAL RISKS
The value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate and is subject to investment risks, which means investors could lose money, including all or part of their investment in the Fund. 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. An investment in the Fund does not constitute a complete investment program. The Fund is subject to certain risks and the principal risks of investing in the Fund are summarized below in alphabetical order, and not in the order of importance or potential exposure. The relative significance of each principal risk summarized below may change over time and you should review each risk carefully because any one or more of these risks may result in losses to the Fund. Please see “More Information About the Trust and the Funds – Principal Risks” in the Fund’s Prospectus for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund.
16 | PROSPECTUS

Compounding Risk—In addition to the correlation risks described under “Correlation Risk”, the Fund’s returns are subject to the effects of compounding, which generally will cause the Fund’s performance to not correlate to the performance of the benchmark over periods greater than a single day, before accounting for fees and fund expenses. Compounded returns are the result of reinvesting daily returns over periods greater than a single day. The Fund’s compounded returns for periods greater than a single day will be different than the performance of the benchmark over the same period. The effects of compounding on the performance of the Fund will be more pronounced when the underlying index experiences increased volatility, the greater the leverage employed in the Fund, and over longer holding periods.
Compounding affects the performance of all investments over time, but has a more significant effect on a leveraged index fund because the magnified changes in performance produced by the use of leverage lead to greater increases and decreases in the fund’s daily returns which are then compounded over time. The effects of compounding, therefore, have a more significant effect on the Fund because it seeks to match a multiple of the inverse performance of the Fund’s underlying index on a daily basis.
Fund performance for periods greater than one day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: (a) underlying index performance; (b) underlying index volatility; (c) financing rates associated with leverage; (d) other Fund expenses; (e) dividends or interest paid by companies in the underlying index; and (f) period of time. The table below illustrates the impact of two principal factors – volatility and index performance – on Fund performance. The table shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of performance and volatility over a one-year period. Performance shown in the table assumes: (a) no dividends paid by the companies included in the underlying index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) a cost of leverage of zero percent. If Fund expenses, including the cost of leverage, were included, the Fund’s performance would be lower than shown.
The unshaded areas in the table below represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return more than twice the inverse performance of the underlying index; conversely, the shaded areas in the table below represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return the same or less than twice the inverse performance of the underlying index.

The underlying index’s annualized historical volatility rate for the five-year period ended June 30, 2026 is 15.85%. The underlying index’s highest one-year volatility rate during the five-year period is 20.58%. The underlying index’s annualized performance for the five-year period ended June 30, 2026 is 13.41%.
PROSPECTUS | 17

Historical underlying index volatility and performance are not indications of what the underlying index volatility and performance will be in the future. The table is intended to isolate the effects of the underlying index volatility and index performance on the return of the Fund, and underscore that the Fund is designed as a short-term trading vehicle for investors who intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios.
Correlation Risk—A number of factors may affect the Fund’s ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with its benchmark, including instances in which the Fund does not hold or have exposure to each component security of the underlying index and the effect of compounding on the Fund’s returns, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The Fund does not attempt to, and should not be expected to, provide returns which are an inverse multiple of the returns of the underlying index for periods other than a single day. The risk of the Fund not achieving its daily investment objective will be more acute when the underlying index has an extreme one-day movement approaching 50%. In addition, as a result of compounding, the Fund’s performance for periods greater than a single day is likely to be either greater than or less than the inverse of the performance of the underlying index times the stated multiple in the Fund’s investment objective, before accounting for Fund fees and expenses.
Counterparty Credit Risk—The Fund makes investments in financial instruments and 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, to hedge a position, or for other investment purposes. Through these investments and related arrangements (e.g., prime brokerage or securities lending arrangements or derivatives transactions), the Fund is exposed to credit risks that the counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments or otherwise to meet its contractual obligations. If the counterparty becomes insolvent or defaults on (or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling to perform) its payment or other 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 or other assets held by, or on behalf of, the counterparty. If this occurs, the value of your shares in the Fund will decrease. Counterparty credit risk also includes the related risk of having potentially significant exposure to such counterparty.
Derivatives Risk—Derivatives and other instruments (collectively referred to in this paragraph as “derivatives”) pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other investments, including risks relating to leverage, market conditions and market risk, imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, high price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty credit, liquidity, valuation, operational and legal restrictions and risk. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. In addition, 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. Changes in the value of a derivative also may create sudden margin delivery or settlement payment obligations for the Fund, which can materially affect the performance of the Fund, its liquidity, and other aspects of the Fund’s risk profile. The Fund’s use of derivatives to obtain short exposure may result in greater volatility of the Fund's net asset value (“NAV”) per share. If the Advisor is incorrect about its expectations of market conditions, the use of derivatives also could result in a loss, which in some cases may be unlimited. Certain risks are specific to the particular type of derivative instrument in which the Fund may invest. For example, 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 counterparty, credit, legal, liquidity and valuation risks.
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 include imperfect correlation between the movements in the price of the instruments and the price of the underlying assets. In addition, there is a 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 futures positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Advisor, 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 also are subject to leverage and liquidity risks. The Fund may invest in standard futures contracts, e-mini futures contracts, and micro e-mini futures contracts depending on the investment exposure needs of the Fund. E-mini futures contracts and micro e-mini futures contracts are similar to standard futures contracts, except that they are electronically traded and e-mini futures contracts generally are one-fifth the size of standard futures contracts and micro e-mini futures contracts generally are one-tenth the size of e-mini futures contracts.
18 | PROSPECTUS

Options Risk—Options and 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. Options are subject to correlation risk because there may be an imperfect correlation between the options and the markets for underlying instruments that could cause a given transaction to fail to achieve its objectives. The successful use of options depends on the Advisor’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 options positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Advisor, thus limiting the ability to implement the Fund’s strategies. Options also are particularly subject to leverage risk and can be subject to liquidity risk.
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, for certain standardized swaps, must be traded on a designated contract market or swap execution facility. 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. While exchange trading and central clearing are intended to reduce counterparty credit risk and increase liquidity, they 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, which could increase the cost of swap transactions to the Fund and impose added operational complexity.
Early Closing Risk—The Fund is subject to the risk that unanticipated early closings of securities exchanges and other financial markets may result in the Fund’s inability to buy or sell securities or other financial instruments on that day and may cause the Fund to incur substantial trading losses.
Equity Securities Risk—Equity securities include common stocks and other equity and equity-related securities (and securities convertible into stocks). The Fund is exposed to the risks of equity securities primarily through its investments in equity-related derivatives and other investments. The prices of equity securities generally fluctuate more than those of 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. 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. An increase in the value of equity securities to which the Fund has exposure will adversely affect the value of your investment in the Fund.
Industry Concentration Risk—The Fund may concentrate its investments in a limited number of issuers conducting business in the same industry or group of related industries. To the extent the Fund does so, the Fund is more vulnerable to adverse market, economic, regulatory, political or other developments affecting that industry or group of related industries than a fund that invests its assets more broadly. As of June 30, 2026, the underlying index components, and thus the Fund's investments, are concentrated in securities issued by companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry. As a result of the Fund’s concentration in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry, the Fund is subject to the risks associated with that Industry. The Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry includes manufacturers of semiconductor equipment, including equipment used in the solar power industry (e.g., raw wafers, gases, liquids and related packaging and material delivery systems), and semiconductors and related products, including manufacturers of solar modules, cells, integrated circuit devices, diodes and light-emitting diodes (LEDs), microprocessors and chips. Companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry rely heavily on technology. The prices of the securities of companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry may fluctuate widely due to competitive pressures, increased sensitivity to short product cycles and aggressive pricing, heavy expenses incurred for research and development of products or services that prove unsuccessful, problems related to bringing products to market, and rapid obsolescence of products. Legislative or regulatory changes and increased government supervision also may affect companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry. The Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry is a separate industry within the Information Technology Sector.
Interest Rate Risk—Fixed income and other debt instruments are subject to the possibility that interest rates could change (or are expected to change). Changes in interest rates (or the expectation of such changes) can be difficult to forecast and may adversely affect the Fund’s investments in these instruments, such as the value or liquidity of, and income generated by, the investments. Interest rates may change as a result of a variety of factors, and the
PROSPECTUS | 19

change may be sudden and significant, with unpredictable impacts on the financial markets and the Fund’s investments. Fixed income and other debt instruments with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates and, thus, subject to more volatility than similar instruments with shorter durations. Generally, when interest rates increase, the values of previously issued fixed income and other debt instruments decline and when interest rates decrease, the values of fixed income and other debt instruments rise. During periods of rising interest rates, changes in interest rates on adjustable rate securities may lag behind changes in market rates, which may cause the value of such securities to decline until their interest rates reset to market rates. During periods of declining interest rates, because the interest rates on adjustable rate securities generally reset downward, their market value is unlikely to rise to the same extent as the value of comparable fixed rate securities. The Fund’s yield, returns, and performance may be adversely affected by changing interest rates and the Fund’s NAV per share may be more volatile during changing interest rate environments. Changes in fiscal, economic, monetary and other policies or measures have in the past, and may in the future, cause or exacerbate the risks associated with changing interest rates. Changes in interest rates may also lead to an increase in Fund redemptions, which may result in high portfolio turnover costs and lower valuations, thereby adversely affecting the Fund’s performance.
Large-Capitalization Securities Risk—The Fund is subject to the risk that large-capitalization securities may outperform 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.
Leveraging Risk—The Fund achieves leveraged exposure to the underlying index through the use of derivative instruments. The more the Fund invests in leveraged instruments, the more this leverage will magnify any losses on those investments. The Fund’s investment in these instruments generally requires a small investment relative to the amount of investment exposure assumed. As a result, such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the amount invested in those instruments. Since the Fund’s investment strategy involves consistently applied leverage, the value of the Fund’s shares will tend to increase or decrease more than the value of any increase or decrease in the underlying index. Leverage will have the effect of magnifying tracking error and also may increase the Fund’s sensitivity to various risks and interest rate environments.
Liquidity and Valuation Risk—It may be difficult for the Fund to purchase and sell particular investments to meet redemption requests or otherwise within a reasonable time at a fair price, or the price at which it has been valued by the Advisor for purposes of the Fund’s NAV, causing the Fund to be less liquid and unable to realize what the Advisor 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. Liquidity and valuation risks are heightened in a changing interest rate or volatile environment particularly for fixed-income and other debt instruments.
Market Risk—The value of, or income generated by, the investments held by the Fund may fluctuate rapidly and unpredictably. These fluctuations may be frequent and significant. In addition, the Fund may incur losses as a result of various market and economic factors, such as those affecting (or perceived to affect) individual companies or issuers or particular industries, or from broader influences, such as general market conditions. In addition, responses to government actions or interventions (including, but not limited, to the threat or imposition of tariffs, trade restrictions, currency restrictions or similar actions) as well as developments related to economic, political (including geopolitical), social, public health, market, extreme weather, natural or man-made disasters or other conditions or events may cause volatility in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and/or debt markets, which could adversely impact the Fund and its investments and their value and performance. Under such conditions, the Fund (or an underlying fund) may experience significant redemption activity by shareholders and could be forced to sell portfolio securities or other assets at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate sufficient cash to pay redeeming shareholders. Certain securities may be difficult to value under such conditions. The Fund’s investments may perform poorly or underperform the general securities markets or other types of securities.
Non-Diversification Risk—The Fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single issuer's securities could cause greater fluctuations in the value of Fund shares than would occur in a diversified fund. The Fund may become diversified for periods of time solely as a result of changes in the composition of the underlying index (e.g., changes in the relative market capitalization or weights of one or more index component stocks).
20 | PROSPECTUS

OTC Trading Risk—Certain of the derivatives in which the Fund may invest may be traded (and privately negotiated) in the OTC market. While the OTC derivatives market is the primary trading venue for many derivatives, it is largely unregulated and provides for less transparency than a national securities or commodities exchange. As a result and similar to other privately negotiated contracts, the Fund is subject to counterparty credit risk with respect to such derivatives contracts.
Passive Investment Risk—The Fund is not actively managed and the Advisor does not attempt to take defensive positions in rising markets. Therefore, the Fund may be subject to greater losses in a rising market than a fund that is actively managed.
Portfolio Turnover Risk—Periodic rebalancing of the Fund's holdings pursuant to its daily investment objective may lead to a greater number of portfolio transactions in the Fund than experienced by other mutual funds. Such frequent and active trading may lead to significantly higher transaction costs because of increased broker commissions associated with such transactions.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) Risk—REITs are classified as equity REITs, mortgage REITs or hybrid REITs. Equity REITs own real estate directly and the value of, and income earned by, the REITs depends upon the income of the underlying properties and the rental income they earn. Mortgage REITs make construction, development or long-term mortgage loans and are sensitive to the credit quality of the borrower. Mortgage REITs derive their income from interest earned on such mortgage loans. Hybrid REITs generally hold both ownership interests and mortgage interests in real estate. In addition to the risks pertaining to real estate investments more generally, REITs may be subject to additional risks, including risks associated with the direct ownership of real property, including declines in the value of real estate, risks related to general and local economic conditions, overbuilding and increased competition, increases in property taxes and operating expenses and variations in rental income. REITs (especially mortgage REITs) also are subject to interest rate and prepayment 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. U.S. REITs also are 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.
Regulatory and Legal Risk—U.S. and non-U.S. governmental agencies and other regulators regularly implement additional regulations (or amend regulations) and legislators pass new laws that affect the investments held by the Fund, the strategies used by the Fund and/or the level of regulation or taxation applicable to the Fund, its investments or service providers. These developments impact the investment strategies, performance, costs and operations of the Fund or taxation of shareholders.
Repurchase Agreement Risk—The Fund’s investment in repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk with respect to the collateral securing the repurchase agreements. Investments in repurchase agreements also may be subject to the risk that the market value of the underlying obligations may decline prior to the expiration of the repurchase agreement term.
Sector Risk—To the extent the components of the Fund’s underlying index, and therefore, the Fund’s holdings, have significant exposure to one or more market sectors, the Fund may be especially sensitive to the developments affecting and risks of such market sectors. The sectors to which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund’s assets, may have significant exposure will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. As of June 30, 2026, the Fund is subject to the Sector Risks described below.
Communication Services Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Communication Services Sector. The Communication Services Sector includes companies that facilitate communication and offer related content and information through various mediums. It includes telecom and media & entertainment companies, including producers of interactive gaming products and companies engaged in content and information creation or distribution through proprietary platforms. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Communication Services Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Communication Services Sector has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall economy and also is affected by economic
PROSPECTUS | 21

growth, consumer confidence, attitudes and spending. Increased sensitivity to short product cycles and aggressive pricing, challenges in bringing products to market and changes in demographics and consumer tastes also can affect the demand for, and success of, communication services products and services in the marketplace.
Consumer Discretionary Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Consumer Discretionary Sector. The manufacturing segment of the Consumer Discretionary Sector includes automobiles and components, household durable goods, leisure products, and textiles and apparel. The services segment includes hotels, restaurants and other leisure facilities, and distributors and retailers of consumer discretionary products. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Consumer Discretionary Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Consumer Discretionary Sector has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall economy, and also is affected by economic growth, consumer confidence, attitudes and spending. Changes in demographics and consumer tastes also can affect the demand for, and success of, consumer products and services in the marketplace. Moreover, the Consumer Discretionary Sector encompasses those businesses that tend to be the most sensitive to economic cycles.
Consumer Staples Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Consumer Staples Sector. The Consumer Staples Sector includes manufacturers and distributors of food, beverages and tobacco and producers of non-durable household goods and personal products. The Consumer Staples Sector also includes distributors and retailers of other consumer staples products, including food and drug retailing companies. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Consumer Staples Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Consumer Staples Sector has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall economy, and also is affected by consumer confidence, demands and preferences, and spending. In addition, companies in the Consumer Staples Sector may be subject to risks pertaining to the supply of, demand for, and prices of raw materials.
Financials Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Financials Sector. The Financials Sector includes companies involved in banking, financial services (including commercial and residential mortgage finance), consumer finance, capital markets (including asset management and custody banks, investment banking and brokerage), Mortgage Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), and insurance. Certain Financials Sector issuers serve as counterparties with which the Fund may enter into derivatives agreements or other similar contractual arrangements. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Financials Sector, which may adversely affect a company's ability to fulfill its obligations as a financial counterparty. Companies operating in the Financials Sector are subject to extensive government regulation, which may limit the financial commitments they can make and the interest rates and fees they can charge. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and may fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition.
Health Care Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Health Care Sector. The Health Care Sector includes health care providers and services, companies that manufacture and distribute health care equipment and supplies, and health care technology companies. It also includes companies involved in the research, development, production and marketing of pharmaceuticals and biotechnology products. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Health Care Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Health Care Sector is closely tied to government regulation and policies (such as health care reform measures) and may be affected by government approval of products and services, competitive pricing pressures, rising costs of medical products and services, product obsolescence, and product liability and other similar litigation. In addition, companies operating in the Health Care Sector are heavily dependent on patent and other intellectual property rights, and a company’s ability to obtain and protect its patents (or the failure to do so) may affect profitability.
22 | PROSPECTUS

Industrials Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Industrials Sector. The Industrials Sector includes manufacturers and distributors of capital goods, such as aerospace and defense, building projects, electrical equipment and machinery, and companies that offer construction and engineering services. The Industrials Sector also includes providers of commercial and professional services including printing, environmental and facilities services, office services and supplies, security and alarm services, human resource and employment services, research and consulting services, and transportation services. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Industrials Sector. The prices of the securities of companies operating in the Industrials Sector may fluctuate due to the level and volatility of commodity prices, the exchange value of the dollar and economic conditions, import controls, worldwide competition, product liability claims, liability for environmental damage, depletion of resources, and mandated expenditures for safety and pollution control devices. In addition, the products of companies operating in the Industrials Sector may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments and the rapid introduction of new products.
Information Technology Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Information Technology Sector. The Information Technology Sector includes companies that offer software and information technology services, manufacturers and distributors of technology hardware and equipment (such as communications equipment, cellular phones, computers and peripherals), electronic equipment and related equipment and materials, and semiconductors and related equipment and materials. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Information Technology Sector. Companies in the Information Technology Sector may be affected by limited product lines, market competition (both domestically and internationally), financial resources and/or personnel. The prices of the securities of companies operating in the Information Technology Sector are closely tied to increased sensitivity to short product cycles and product obsolescence, aggressive pricing, and problems with bringing products to market. Failure to introduce new products, develop and maintain a loyal customer base, or achieve general market acceptance for products could have a material adverse effect on a company’s business. In addition, companies in the Information Technology Sector are heavily dependent on intellectual property and the loss of patent, copyright and trademark protections may adversely affect the profitability of these companies.
Shareholder Trading Risk—The Fund may be used as a tool for certain investors that employ trading strategies involving frequent trading. Such trading strategies may lead to increased portfolio turnover in the Fund, higher transaction costs, and the possibility of increased short-term capital gains (which will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income when distributed to them) and/or long-term capital gains. Large movements of assets into and out of the Fund due to active or frequent trading also may adversely affect the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective.
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 and leverage risks. The loss on a short sale or other short exposure, which, in some cases, may be theoretically unlimited, may be 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. Government actions also may affect the Fund’s ability to engage in short selling.
Tracking Error Risk—The Advisor may not be able to cause the Fund’s performance to match that of the Fund’s benchmark, either on a daily or aggregate basis. Factors such as Fund expenses, imperfect correlation between the Fund’s investments and those of the underlying index, rounding of share prices, changes to the composition of the underlying index, regulatory policies, high portfolio turnover rate, and the use of leverage all contribute to tracking error. Tracking error may cause the Fund’s performance to be less than you expect.
Trading Halt Risk—The Fund typically will hold futures contracts and short-term options. The major exchanges on which these contracts are traded, such as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, have established limits on how much the trading price of a futures contract or option may decline over various time periods within a day, and may halt trading in a contract that exceeds such limits. If a trading halt occurs, the Fund may temporarily be unable to purchase or sell certain securities, futures contracts or options. Such a trading halt near the time the Fund prices its shares may limit the Fund’s ability to use leverage and fully invest its assets, which could increase tracking error and adversely affect performance, and may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
PROSPECTUS | 23

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. In addition, U.S. government securities not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government involve credit risk that is greater than other types of U.S. government securities.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
The bar chart below shows the performance of the Class C shares of the Fund from year to year. The variability of performance over time provides an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The table below shows the performance of the Class A shares and Class C shares of the Fund as an average over different periods of time in comparison to the performance of the Fund's underlying index.The underlying index also serves as a broad-based securities market index representing the overall domestic equity market. The figures in the bar chart and table assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions; however, the figures in the bar chart do not reflect sales charges. If the figures in the bar chart reflected sales charges, returns would be lower. The performance information below reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. Of course, this past performance (before and after taxes) does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform in the future.

PAYMENTS TO BROKER-DEALERS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES
If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), 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.

NASDAQ-100® 2x Strategy Fund
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The NASDAQ-100® 2x Strategy Fund (the “Fund”) is very different from most other mutual funds in that it seeks daily leveraged investment results. As a result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the performance of an investment in the Fund is magnified.
The effect of leverage on the Fund will generally cause the Fund’s performance to not match the performance of the Fund’s benchmark (as described below) over a period of time greater than a single trading day. This means that the return of the Fund for a period of longer than a single trading day will be the result of each day’s compounded returns over the period, which will very likely differ from twice the return of the Fund’s underlying index (as defined below) for that period. As a consequence, especially in periods of market volatility, the path or trend of the benchmark during the longer period may be at least as important to the Fund’s cumulative return for the longer period as the cumulative return of the benchmark for the relevant longer period. Further, the return for investors who invest for a period longer than a single trading day will not be the product of the return of the Fund’s stated investment goal (i.e., 2x) and the cumulative performance of the benchmark.
The Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund should be utilized only by investors who (a) understand the risks associated with the use of leverage, (b) understand the consequences of seeking daily leveraged investment results, and (c) intend to actively monitor and manage their investments. Investors who do not meet these criteria should not buy shares of the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a complete investment program.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The Fund seeks to provide investment results that match, before fees and expenses, the performance of a specific benchmark on a daily basis.  The Fund’s current benchmark is 200% of the performance of the NASDAQ-100 Index® (the “underlying index”). The Fund does not seek to achieve its investment objective over a period of time greater than one day.
FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE FUND
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell Class A shares or Class C shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below. 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 certain funds in the Guggenheim Investments family of funds. 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 under the “Sales Charges” section on page 137 of the Prospectus, in Appendix A to the Prospectus — "Sales Charge Waivers and Discounts Available Through Intermediaries," and in the “Sales Charges, Reductions and Waivers” section beginning on page 68 of the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information (the “SAI”).

The Advisor has contractually agreed, through August 1, 2027, to waive and/or reimburse the Fund’s expenses in an amount equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.05% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Advisor also has contractually agreed, through August 1, 2027, to waive and/or reimburse the Fund's expenses in an additional amount equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.05% of the Fund's average daily net assets. In addition, the Advisor has contractually agreed, through August 1, 2027, to waive and/or reimburse the Fund's expenses in an amount equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.05% of the Fund's average daily net assets in excess of $500,000,000. Each agreement shall automatically renew for one-year terms unless the Advisor provides written notice to the Fund of the termination of the agreement. Each agreement may be terminated at any time by the Fund’s Board of Trustees and when the Advisor ceases to serve as such.
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.

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 the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 601% of the average value of its portfolio. The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments and most derivatives. If such instruments were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate might be significantly higher.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Fund employs as its investment strategy a program of investing in the common stock of companies that are generally within the capitalization range of the underlying index and derivative instruments, which primarily consist of equity index swaps and swaps on exchange-traded funds, futures contracts, and options on securities, futures contracts, and stock indices. While the Fund may write (sell) and purchase swaps, it expects primarily to purchase swaps. Swap agreements and futures and options contracts, if used properly, may enable the Fund to meet its objective by increasing the Fund’s exposure to the securities included in the underlying index or in the same proportion that those securities are represented in the Fund's benchmark. The Fund’s investment in derivatives referencing (i) the underlying index, or (ii) securities included in the underlying index, serves as a substitute for investments in each of the securities of companies included in the underlying index and will be counted towards the Fund’s 80% investment policy (as set forth below). The Advisor attempts to consistently apply leverage to increase the Fund's exposure to 200% of the underlying index and expects to rebalance the Fund's holdings daily to maintain such exposure. The Fund’s use of derivatives and the leveraged investment exposure created by such use are expected to be significant. Certain of the Fund’s derivatives investments may be traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. The Fund also may invest in American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) to gain exposure to international companies included in the underlying index. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in securities of companies included in the NASDAQ-100 Index® and financial instruments with economic characteristics that should perform similarly to the securities of companies in the NASDAQ-100 Index®.
The NASDAQ-100 Index® is a modified capitalization-weighted index composed of 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market with capitalizations ranging from $17.5 billion to $4.8 trillion as of June 30, 2026. To the extent the Fund’s underlying index is concentrated in a particular industry the Fund will necessarily be concentrated in that industry. As of June 30, 2026, the underlying index components, and thus the Fund’s investments, are concentrated (i.e., more than 25% of its assets) in securities issued by companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry and Software Industry, separate industries within the Information Technology Sector. The industries in which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund’s investments, may be concentrated will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. Also, while the Fund’s sector exposure may vary over time, as of June 30, 2026, the Fund has significant exposure to the Communication Services Sector, Consumer Discretionary Sector, Consumer Staples Sector, Health Care Sector, and Information Technology Sector, as each sector is defined by the Global Industry Classification Standard, a widely recognized industry classification methodology developed by MSCI, Inc. and Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC.
On a day-to-day basis, the Fund may hold U.S. government securities or cash equivalents. The Fund also may enter into repurchase agreements with counterparties that are deemed to present acceptable credit risks. In an effort to ensure that the Fund is fully invested on a day-to-day basis, the Fund may conduct any necessary trading activity at or just prior to the close of the U.S. financial markets. 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.
Investments in derivative instruments, such as futures, options and swap agreements, have the economic effect of creating financial leverage in the Fund’s portfolio because such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the amount the Fund has invested in those instruments. Financial leverage will magnify, sometimes significantly, the Fund’s exposure to any increase or decrease in prices associated with a particular reference asset resulting in increased volatility in the value of the Fund’s portfolio. The value of the Fund’s portfolio is likely to experience greater volatility over short-term periods. While such financial leverage has the potential to produce greater gains, it also may result in greater losses, which in some cases may cause the Fund to liquidate other portfolio investments at a loss to comply with limits on leverage imposed by the Investment Company Act of 1940, satisfy margin or collateral requirements, or meet redemption requests.
PRINCIPAL RISKS
The value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate and is subject to investment risks, which means investors could lose money, including all or part of their investment in the Fund. 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. An investment in the Fund does not constitute a complete investment program. The Fund is subject to certain risks and the principal risks of investing in the Fund are summarized below in alphabetical order, and not in the order of importance or potential exposure. The relative significance of each
PROSPECTUS | 29

principal risk summarized below may change over time and you should review each risk carefully because any one or more of these risks may result in losses to the Fund. Please see “More Information About the Trust and the Funds – Principal Risks” in the Fund’s Prospectus for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund.
Compounding Risk—In addition to the correlation risks described under “Correlation Risk”, the Fund’s returns are subject to the effects of compounding, which generally will cause the Fund’s performance to not correlate to the performance of the benchmark over periods greater than a single day, before accounting for fees and fund expenses. Compounded returns are the result of reinvesting daily returns over periods greater than a single day. The Fund’s compounded returns for periods greater than a single day will be different than the performance of the benchmark over the same period. The effects of compounding on the performance of the Fund will be more pronounced when the underlying index experiences increased volatility, the greater the leverage employed in the Fund, and over longer holding periods.
Compounding affects the performance of all investments over time, but has a more significant effect on a leveraged index fund because the magnified changes in performance produced by the use of leverage lead to greater increases and decreases in the fund’s daily returns which are then compounded over time. The effects of compounding, therefore, have a more significant effect on the Fund because it seeks to match a multiple of the performance of the Fund’s underlying index on a daily basis.
Fund performance for periods greater than one day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: (a) underlying index performance; (b) underlying index volatility; (c) financing rates associated with leverage; (d) other Fund expenses; (e) dividends or interest paid by companies in the underlying index; and (f) period of time. The table below illustrates the impact of two principal factors – volatility and index performance – on Fund performance. The table shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of performance and volatility over a one-year period. Performance shown in the table assumes: (a) no dividends paid by the companies included in the underlying index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) a cost of leverage of zero percent. If Fund expenses, including the cost of leverage, were included, the Fund’s performance would be lower than shown.
The unshaded areas in the table below represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return more than twice the performance of the underlying index; conversely, the shaded areas in the table below represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than twice the performance of the underlying index.

The underlying index’s annualized historical volatility rate for the five-year period ended June 30, 2026 is 20.74%. The underlying index’s highest one-year volatility rate during the five-year period is 26.55%. The underlying index’s annualized performance for the five-year period ended June 30, 2026 is 16.68%.
30 | PROSPECTUS

Historical underlying index volatility and performance are not indications of what the underlying index volatility and performance will be in the future. The table is intended to isolate the effects of the underlying index volatility and index performance on the return of the Fund, and underscore that the Fund is designed as a short-term trading vehicle for investors who intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios.
Correlation Risk—A number of factors may affect the Fund’s ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with its benchmark, including instances in which the Fund does not hold or have exposure to each component security of the underlying index and the effect of compounding on the Fund’s returns, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The Fund does not attempt to, and should not be expected to, provide returns which are a multiple of the returns of the underlying index for periods other than a single day. The risk of the Fund not achieving its daily investment objective will be more acute when the underlying index has an extreme one-day movement approaching 50%. In addition, as a result of compounding, the Fund’s performance for periods greater than a single day is likely to be either greater than or less than the performance of the underlying index times the stated multiple in the Fund’s investment objective, before accounting for Fund fees and expenses.
Counterparty Credit Risk—The Fund makes investments in financial instruments and 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, to hedge a position, or for other investment purposes. Through these investments and related arrangements (e.g., prime brokerage or securities lending arrangements or derivatives transactions), the Fund is exposed to credit risks that the counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments or otherwise to meet its contractual obligations. If the counterparty becomes insolvent or defaults on (or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling to perform) its payment or other 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 or other assets held by, or on behalf of, the counterparty. If this occurs, the value of your shares in the Fund will decrease. Counterparty credit risk also includes the related risk of having potentially significant exposure to such counterparty.
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 and other instruments (collectively referred to in this paragraph as “derivatives”) pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other investments, including risks relating to leverage, market conditions and market risk, imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, high price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty credit, liquidity, valuation, operational and legal restrictions and risk. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. In addition, 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. Changes in the value of a derivative also may create sudden margin delivery or settlement payment obligations for the Fund, which can materially affect the performance of the Fund, its liquidity, and other aspects of the Fund’s risk profile. The Fund’s use of derivatives to obtain short exposure, if any, may result in greater volatility of the Fund's net asset value (“NAV”) per share. If the Advisor is incorrect about its expectations of market conditions, the use of derivatives also could result in a loss, which in some cases may be unlimited. Certain risks are specific to the particular type of derivative instrument in which the Fund may invest. For example, 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 counterparty, credit, legal, liquidity and valuation risks.
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 include imperfect correlation between the movements in the price of the instruments and the price of the underlying assets. In addition, there is a 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 futures positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Advisor, 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 also
PROSPECTUS | 31

are subject to leverage and liquidity risks. The Fund may invest in standard futures contracts, e-mini futures contracts, and micro e-mini futures contracts depending on the investment exposure needs of the Fund. E-mini futures contracts and micro e-mini futures contracts are similar to standard futures contracts, except that they are electronically traded and e-mini futures contracts generally are one-fifth the size of standard futures contracts and micro e-mini futures contracts generally are one-tenth the size of e-mini futures contracts.
Options Risk—Options and 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. Options are subject to correlation risk because there may be an imperfect correlation between the options and the markets for underlying instruments that could cause a given transaction to fail to achieve its objectives. The successful use of options depends on the Advisor’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 options positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Advisor, thus limiting the ability to implement the Fund’s strategies. Options also are particularly subject to leverage risk and can be subject to liquidity risk.
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, for certain standardized swaps, must be traded on a designated contract market or swap execution facility. 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. While exchange trading and central clearing are intended to reduce counterparty credit risk and increase liquidity, they 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, which could increase the cost of swap transactions to the Fund and impose added operational complexity.
Early Closing Risk—The Fund is subject to the risk that unanticipated early closings of securities exchanges and other financial markets may result in the Fund’s inability to buy or sell securities or other financial instruments on that day and may cause the Fund to incur substantial trading losses.
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 more than those of 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.
Foreign Issuer Exposure Risk—The Fund may invest in securities of foreign companies directly or in financial instruments that are indirectly linked to the performance of foreign issuers, such as ADRs. The Fund’s exposure to foreign issuers and investments in foreign securities, if any, carry unique, additional and heightened risks when compared to U.S. securities, including, but not limited to: currency fluctuations; adverse political (including geopolitical), social and economic developments; trade restrictions (including tariffs) or other government restrictions by the U.S. or other governments; unreliable, untimely or less publicly available information; less government supervision; reporting, accounting, and auditing standards that are not comparable to those in the United States; less liquidity and more volatility; limited legal recourse; and higher transactional costs.
Industry Concentration Risk—The Fund may concentrate its investments in a limited number of issuers conducting business in the same industry or group of related industries. To the extent the Fund does so, the Fund is more vulnerable to adverse market, economic, regulatory, political or other developments affecting that industry or group of related industries than a fund that invests its assets more broadly. As of June 30, 2026, the underlying index components, and thus the Fund's investments, are concentrated in securities issued by companies in the industries described below.  The industries in which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund's assets, may be concentrated will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. 
32 | PROSPECTUS

Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry. As a result of the Fund's concentration in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry, the Fund is subject to the risks associated with that Industry. The Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry includes manufacturers of semiconductor equipment, including equipment used in the solar power industry (e.g., raw wafers, gases, liquids and related packaging and material delivery systems), and semiconductors and related products, including manufacturers of solar modules, cells, integrated circuit devices, diodes and light-emitting diodes (LEDs), microprocessors and chips. Companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry rely heavily on technology. The prices of the securities of companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry may fluctuate widely due to competitive pressures, increased sensitivity to short product cycles and aggressive pricing, heavy expenses incurred for research and development of products or services that prove unsuccessful, problems related to bringing products to market, and rapid obsolescence of products. Legislative or regulatory changes and increased government supervision also may affect companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry. The Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry is a separate industry within the Information Technology Sector.
Software Industry. As a result of the Fund's concentration in the Software Industry, the Fund is subject to the risks associated with that Industry. The Software Industry includes companies engaged in developing and producing software designed for specialized applications for the business and consumer markets, including enterprise and technical software, cloud-based software and companies engaged in bitcoin mining, and in developing and producing software for operating systems and platforms, database management software and firewalls. The prices of the securities of issuers in the Software Industry may fluctuate widely due to competitive pressures, increased sensitivity to short product cycles and aggressive pricing, heavy expenses incurred for research and development of products or services that prove unsuccessful, challenges related to bringing products to market, and rapid obsolescence of products. In addition, many software companies rely on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secret laws to establish and protect their proprietary rights in their products and technologies. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by software companies to protect their proprietary rights will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of their technology or that competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to such companies' technology. Legislative or regulatory changes and increased government supervision also may affect companies in the Software Industry. The Software Industry is a separate industry within the Information Technology Sector.
Interest Rate Risk—Fixed income and other debt instruments are subject to the possibility that interest rates could change (or are expected to change). Changes in interest rates (or the expectation of such changes) can be difficult to forecast and may adversely affect the Fund’s investments in these instruments, such as the value or liquidity of, and income generated by, the investments. Interest rates may change as a result of a variety of factors, and the change may be sudden and significant, with unpredictable impacts on the financial markets and the Fund’s investments. Fixed income and other debt instruments with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates and, thus, subject to more volatility than similar instruments with shorter durations. Generally, when interest rates increase, the values of previously issued fixed income and other debt instruments decline and when interest rates decrease, the values of fixed income and other debt instruments rise. During periods of rising interest rates, changes in interest rates on adjustable rate securities may lag behind changes in market rates, which may cause the value of such securities to decline until their interest rates reset to market rates. During periods of declining interest rates, because the interest rates on adjustable rate securities generally reset downward, their market value is unlikely to rise to the same extent as the value of comparable fixed rate securities. The Fund’s yield, returns, and performance may be adversely affected by changing interest rates and the Fund’s NAV per share may be more volatile during changing interest rate environments. Changes in fiscal, economic, monetary and other policies or measures have in the past, and may in the future, cause or exacerbate the risks associated with changing interest rates. Changes in interest rates may also lead to an increase in Fund redemptions, which may result in high portfolio turnover costs and lower valuations, thereby adversely affecting the Fund’s performance.
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.
Leveraging Risk—The Fund achieves leveraged exposure to the underlying index through the use of derivative instruments. The more the Fund invests in leveraged instruments, the more this leverage will magnify any losses on those investments. The Fund’s investment in these instruments generally requires a small investment relative to the
PROSPECTUS | 33

amount of investment exposure assumed. As a result, such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the amount invested in those instruments. Since the Fund’s investment strategy involves consistently applied leverage, the value of the Fund’s shares will tend to increase or decrease more than the value of any increase or decrease in the underlying index. Leverage will have the effect of magnifying tracking error and also may increase the Fund’s sensitivity to various risks and interest rate environments.
Liquidity and Valuation Risk—It may be difficult for the Fund to purchase and sell particular investments to meet redemption requests or otherwise within a reasonable time at a fair price, or the price at which it has been valued by the Advisor for purposes of the Fund’s NAV, causing the Fund to be less liquid and unable to realize what the Advisor 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. Liquidity and valuation risks are heightened in a changing interest rate or volatile environment particularly for fixed-income and other debt instruments.
Market Risk—The value of, or income generated by, the investments held by the Fund may fluctuate rapidly and unpredictably. These fluctuations may be frequent and significant. In addition, the Fund may incur losses as a result of various market and economic factors, such as those affecting (or perceived to affect) individual companies or issuers or particular industries, or from broader influences, such as general market conditions. In addition, responses to government actions or interventions (including, but not limited, to the threat or imposition of tariffs, trade restrictions, currency restrictions or similar actions) as well as developments related to economic, political (including geopolitical), social, public health, market, extreme weather, natural or man-made disasters or other conditions or events may cause volatility in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and/or debt markets, which could adversely impact the Fund and its investments and their value and performance. Under such conditions, the Fund (or an underlying fund) may experience significant redemption activity by shareholders and could be forced to sell portfolio securities or other assets at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate sufficient cash to pay redeeming shareholders. Certain securities may be difficult to value under such conditions. The Fund’s investments may perform poorly or underperform the general securities markets or other types of securities.
Non-Diversification Risk—The Fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single issuer's securities could cause greater fluctuations in the value of Fund shares than would occur in a diversified fund. The Fund may become diversified for periods of time solely as a result of changes in the composition of the underlying index (e.g., changes in the relative market capitalization or weights of one or more index component stocks).
OTC Trading Risk—Certain of the derivatives in which the Fund may invest may be traded (and privately negotiated) in the OTC market. While the OTC derivatives market is the primary trading venue for many derivatives, it is largely unregulated and provides for less transparency than a national securities or commodities exchange. As a result and similar to other privately negotiated contracts, the Fund is subject to counterparty credit risk with respect to such derivatives contracts.
Passive Investment Risk—The Fund is not actively managed and the Advisor does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. Therefore, the Fund may be subject to greater losses in a declining market than a fund that is actively managed.
Portfolio Turnover Risk—Periodic rebalancing of the Fund's holdings pursuant to its daily investment objective may lead to a greater number of portfolio transactions in the Fund than experienced by other mutual funds. Such frequent and active trading may lead to significantly higher transaction costs because of increased broker commissions associated with such transactions.
Regulatory and Legal Risk—U.S. and non-U.S. governmental agencies and other regulators regularly implement additional regulations (or amend regulations) and legislators pass new laws that affect the investments held by the Fund, the strategies used by the Fund and/or the level of regulation or taxation applicable to the Fund, its investments or service providers. These developments impact the investment strategies, performance, costs and operations of the Fund or taxation of shareholders.
34 | PROSPECTUS

Repurchase Agreement Risk—The Fund’s investment in repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk with respect to the collateral securing the repurchase agreements. Investments in repurchase agreements also may be subject to the risk that the market value of the underlying obligations may decline prior to the expiration of the repurchase agreement term.
Sector Risk—To the extent the components of the Fund’s underlying index, and therefore, the Fund’s holdings, have significant exposure to one or more market sectors, the Fund may be especially sensitive to the developments affecting and risks of such market sectors. The sectors to which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund’s assets, may have significant exposure will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. As of June 30, 2026, the Fund is subject to the Sector Risks described below.
Communication Services Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Communication Services Sector. The Communication Services Sector includes companies that facilitate communication and offer related content and information through various mediums. It includes telecom and media & entertainment companies, including producers of interactive gaming products and companies engaged in content and information creation or distribution through proprietary platforms. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Communication Services Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Communication Services Sector has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall economy and also is affected by economic growth, consumer confidence, attitudes and spending. Increased sensitivity to short product cycles and aggressive pricing, challenges in bringing products to market and changes in demographics and consumer tastes also can affect the demand for, and success of, communication services products and services in the marketplace.
Consumer Discretionary Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Consumer Discretionary Sector. The manufacturing segment of the Consumer Discretionary Sector includes automobiles and components, household durable goods, leisure products, and textiles and apparel. The services segment includes hotels, restaurants and other leisure facilities, and distributors and retailers of consumer discretionary products. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Consumer Discretionary Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Consumer Discretionary Sector has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall economy, and also is affected by economic growth, consumer confidence, attitudes and spending. Changes in demographics and consumer tastes also can affect the demand for, and success of, consumer products and services in the marketplace. Moreover, the Consumer Discretionary Sector encompasses those businesses that tend to be the most sensitive to economic cycles.
Consumer Staples Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Consumer Staples Sector. The Consumer Staples Sector includes manufacturers and distributors of food, beverages and tobacco and producers of non-durable household goods and personal products. The Consumer Staples Sector also includes distributors and retailers of other consumer staples products, including food and drug retailing companies. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Consumer Staples Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Consumer Staples Sector has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall economy, and also is affected by consumer confidence, demands and preferences, and spending. In addition, companies in the Consumer Staples Sector may be subject to risks pertaining to the supply of, demand for, and prices of raw materials.
Health Care Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Health Care Sector. The Health Care Sector includes health care providers and services, companies that manufacture and distribute health care equipment and supplies, and health care technology companies. It also includes companies involved in the research, development, production and marketing of pharmaceuticals and biotechnology products. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Health Care Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Health Care Sector is closely tied to government regulation and policies (such as health care reform measures) and may be affected by government approval of products and services, competitive pricing pressures, rising costs of
PROSPECTUS | 35

medical products and services, product obsolescence, and product liability and other similar litigation. In addition, companies operating in the Health Care Sector are heavily dependent on patent and other intellectual property rights, and a company’s ability to obtain and protect its patents (or the failure to do so) may affect profitability.
Information Technology Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Information Technology Sector. The Information Technology Sector includes companies that offer software and information technology services, manufacturers and distributors of technology hardware and equipment (such as communications equipment, cellular phones, computers and peripherals), electronic equipment and related equipment and materials, and semiconductors and related equipment and materials. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Information Technology Sector. Companies in the Information Technology Sector may be affected by limited product lines, market competition (both domestically and internationally), financial resources and/or personnel. The prices of the securities of companies operating in the Information Technology Sector are closely tied to increased sensitivity to short product cycles and product obsolescence, aggressive pricing, and problems with bringing products to market. Failure to introduce new products, develop and maintain a loyal customer base, or achieve general market acceptance for products could have a material adverse effect on a company’s business. In addition, companies in the Information Technology Sector are heavily dependent on intellectual property and the loss of patent, copyright and trademark protections may adversely affect the profitability of these companies.
Shareholder Trading Risk—The Fund may be used as a tool for certain investors that employ trading strategies involving frequent trading. Such trading strategies may lead to increased portfolio turnover in the Fund, higher transaction costs, and the possibility of increased short-term capital gains (which will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income when distributed to them) and/or long-term capital gains. Large movements of assets into and out of the Fund due to active or frequent trading also may adversely affect the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective.
Tracking Error Risk—The Advisor may not be able to cause the Fund’s performance to match that of the Fund’s benchmark, either on a daily or aggregate basis. Factors such as Fund expenses, imperfect correlation between the Fund’s investments and those of the underlying index, rounding of share prices, changes to the composition of the underlying index, regulatory policies, high portfolio turnover rate, and the use of leverage all contribute to tracking error. Tracking error may cause the Fund’s performance to be less than you expect.
Trading Halt Risk—The Fund typically will hold futures contracts and short-term options. The major exchanges on which these contracts are traded, such as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, have established limits on how much the trading price of a futures contract or option may decline over various time periods within a day, and may halt trading in a contract that exceeds such limits. If a trading halt occurs, the Fund may temporarily be unable to purchase or sell certain securities, futures contracts or options. Such a trading halt near the time the Fund prices its shares may limit the Fund’s ability to use leverage and fully invest its assets, which could increase tracking error and adversely affect performance, and may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
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. In addition, U.S. government securities not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government involve credit risk that is greater than other types of U.S. government securities.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
The bar chart below shows the performance of the Class C shares of the Fund from year to year. The variability of performance over time provides an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The table below shows the performance of the Class A shares and Class C shares of the Fund as an average over different periods of time in comparison to the performance of a broad-based securities market index intended to represent the overall market (S&P 500® Index) and the Fund's underlying index (NASDAQ-100 Index®). The Fund does not seek to track the S&P 500® Index. The figures in the bar chart and table assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions; however, the figures in the bar chart do not reflect sales charges. If the figures in the bar chart reflected sales charges, returns would be lower. The performance information below reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. Of course, this past performance (before and after taxes) does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform in the future.

Inverse NASDAQ-100® 2x Strategy Fund
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The Inverse NASDAQ-100® 2x Strategy Fund (the “Fund”) is very different from most other mutual funds in that it seeks to provide leveraged investment results that match twice the inverse of the performance of a specific underlying index on a daily basis, a result opposite of most mutual funds. As a result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the performance of an investment in the Fund is magnified.
The effect of leverage on the Fund will generally cause the Fund’s performance to not match the performance of the Fund’s benchmark (as described below) over a period of time greater than a single trading day. This means that the return of the Fund for a period of longer than a single trading day will be the result of each day’s compounded returns over the period, which will very likely differ from twice the inverse return of the Fund’s underlying index (as defined below) for that period. As a consequence, especially in periods of market volatility, the path or trend of the benchmark during the longer period may be at least as important to the Fund’s cumulative return for the longer period as the cumulative return of the benchmark for the relevant longer period. Further, the return for investors who invest for a period longer than a single trading day will not be the product of the return of the Fund’s stated investment goal (i.e., -2x) and the cumulative performance of the benchmark.
The Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund should be utilized only by investors who (a) understand the risks associated with the use of leverage, (b) understand the consequences of seeking daily leveraged investment results, (c) understand the risks of shorting and (d) intend to actively monitor and manage their investments. Investors who do not meet these criteria should not buy shares of the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a complete investment program.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The Fund seeks to provide investment results that match, before fees and expenses, the performance of a specific benchmark on a daily basis. The Fund’s current benchmark is 200% of the inverse (opposite) of the performance of the NASDAQ-100 Index® (the “underlying index”). The Fund does not seek to achieve its investment objective over a period of time greater than one day.
FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE FUND
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell Class A shares or Class C shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below. 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 certain funds in the Guggenheim Investments family of funds. 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 under the “Sales Charges” section on page 137 of the Prospectus, in Appendix A to the Prospectus — "Sales Charge Waivers and Discounts Available Through Intermediaries," and in the “Sales Charges, Reductions and Waivers” section beginning on page 68 of the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information (the “SAI”).

“Other Expenses” does not include fees paid to the Fund’s swap contract counterparties, or the management fees, performance fees, and expenses of the reference assets or trading vehicles underlying such swap contracts. These fees and expenses, which are not reflected in this Annual Fund Operating Expenses table, are embedded in the returns of the swap contracts (i.e., the fees and expenses reduce the investment returns of the swap contracts) and represent an indirect cost of investing in the Fund.

The Advisor has contractually agreed, through August 1, 2027, to waive and/or reimburse the Fund’s expenses in an amount equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. In addition, the Advisor also has contractually agreed, through August 1, 2027, to waive and/or reimburse the Fund’s expenses in an additional amount equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Each agreement shall automatically renew for one-year terms unless the Advisor provides written notice to the Fund of the termination of the agreement. Each agreement may be terminated at any time by the Fund’s Board of Trustees and when the Advisor ceases to serve as such.
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.

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 the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its portfolio. The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments and most derivatives. If such instruments were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate might be significantly higher.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Fund employs as its investment strategy a program of engaging in short sales of securities generally included in the underlying index and investing in derivative instruments, which primarily consist of equity index swaps and swaps on exchange-traded funds, futures contracts, and options on securities, securities indices, and futures contracts. While the Fund may write (sell) and purchase swaps, it expects primarily to write swaps. The Advisor attempts to consistently apply leverage to increase the Fund’s exposure to -200% of the underlying index and expects to rebalance the Fund’s holdings daily to maintain such exposure. The Fund’s investment in derivatives referencing (i) the underlying index, or (ii) securities included in the underlying index, serves as a substitute for directly selling short each of the securities included in the underlying index and produces inverse exposure to the underlying index and to securities of companies included in the underlying index. These instruments will be counted towards the Fund’s 80% investment policy (as set forth below). Certain of the Fund’s derivatives investments may be traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. The Fund also may invest in American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) to gain inverse exposure to international companies included in the underlying index. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in financial instruments with economic characteristics that should perform inversely to the securities of companies included in the NASDAQ-100 Index®.
The NASDAQ-100 Index® is a modified capitalization-weighted index composed of 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market with capitalizations ranging from $17.5 billion to $4.8 trillion as of June 30, 2026. To the extent the Fund’s underlying index is concentrated in a particular industry the Fund will necessarily be concentrated in that industry. As of June 30, 2026, the underlying index components, and thus the Fund’s investments, are concentrated (i.e., more than 25% of its assets) in securities issued by companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry and Software Industry, separate industries within the Information Technology Sector. The industries in which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund’s investments, may be concentrated will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. Also, while the Fund’s sector exposure may vary over time, as of June 30, 2026, the Fund has significant exposure to the Communication Services Sector, Consumer Discretionary Sector, Consumer Staples Sector, Health Care Sector, and Information Technology Sector, as each sector is defined by the Global Industry Classification Standard, a widely recognized industry classification methodology developed by MSCI, Inc. and Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC.
On a day-to-day basis, the Fund may hold U.S. government securities or cash equivalents. The Fund also may enter into repurchase agreements with counterparties that are deemed to present acceptable credit risks. In an effort to ensure that the Fund is fully invested on a day-to-day basis, the Fund may conduct any necessary trading activity at or just prior to the close of the U.S. financial markets. 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.
Investments in derivative instruments, such as futures, options and swap agreements, have the economic effect of creating financial leverage in the Fund’s portfolio because such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the amount the Fund has invested in those instruments. Financial leverage will magnify, sometimes significantly, the Fund’s exposure to any increase or decrease in prices associated with a particular reference asset resulting in increased volatility in the value of the Fund’s portfolio. The value of the Fund’s portfolio is likely to experience greater volatility over short-term periods. While such financial leverage has the potential to produce greater gains, it also may result in greater losses, which in some cases may cause the Fund to liquidate other portfolio investments at a loss to comply with limits on leverage imposed by the Investment Company Act of 1940, satisfy margin or collateral requirements, or meet redemption requests.
PRINCIPAL RISKS
The value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate and is subject to investment risks, which means investors could lose money, including all or part of their investment in the Fund. 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. An investment in the Fund does not constitute a complete investment program. The Fund is subject to certain risks and the principal risks of investing in the Fund are summarized below in alphabetical order, and not in the order of importance or potential exposure. The relative significance of each principal risk summarized below may change over time and you should review each risk carefully because any one or more of these risks may result in losses to the Fund. Please see “More Information About the Trust and the Funds – Principal Risks” in the Fund’s Prospectus for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund.
PROSPECTUS | 41

Compounding Risk—In addition to the correlation risks described under “Correlation Risk”, the Fund’s returns are subject to the effects of compounding, which generally will cause the Fund’s performance to not correlate to the performance of the benchmark over periods greater than a single day, before accounting for fees and fund expenses. Compounded returns are the result of reinvesting daily returns over periods greater than a single day. The Fund’s compounded returns for periods greater than a single day will be different than the performance of the benchmark over the same period. The effects of compounding on the performance of the Fund will be more pronounced when the underlying index experiences increased volatility, the greater the leverage employed in the Fund, and over longer holding periods.
Compounding affects the performance of all investments over time, but has a more significant effect on a leveraged index fund because the magnified changes in performance produced by the use of leverage lead to greater increases and decreases in the fund’s daily returns which are then compounded over time. The effects of compounding, therefore, have a more significant effect on the Fund because it seeks to match a multiple of the inverse performance of the Fund’s underlying index on a daily basis.
Fund performance for periods greater than one day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: (a) underlying index performance; (b) underlying index volatility; (c) financing rates associated with leverage; (d) other Fund expenses; (e) dividends or interest paid by companies in the underlying index; and (f) period of time. The table below illustrates the impact of two principal factors – volatility and index performance – on Fund performance. The table shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of performance and volatility over a one-year period. Performance shown in the table assumes: (a) no dividends paid by the companies included in the underlying index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) a cost of leverage of zero percent. If Fund expenses, including the cost of leverage, were included, the Fund’s performance would be lower than shown.
The unshaded areas in the table below represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return more than twice the inverse performance of the underlying index; conversely, the shaded areas in the table below represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return the same or less than twice the inverse performance of the underlying index.

The underlying index’s annualized historical volatility rate for the five-year period ended June 30, 2026 is 20.74%. The underlying index’s highest one-year volatility rate during the five-year period is 26.55%. The underlying index’s annualized performance for the five-year period ended June 30, 2026 is 16.68%.
42 | PROSPECTUS

Historical underlying index volatility and performance are not indications of what the underlying index volatility and performance will be in the future. The table is intended to isolate the effects of the underlying index volatility and index performance on the return of the Fund, and underscore that the Fund is designed as a short-term trading vehicle for investors who intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios.
Correlation Risk—A number of factors may affect the Fund’s ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with its benchmark, including instances in which the Fund does not hold or have exposure to each component security of the underlying index and the effect of compounding on the Fund’s returns, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The Fund does not attempt to, and should not be expected to, provide returns which are an inverse multiple of the returns of the underlying index for periods other than a single day. The risk of the Fund not achieving its daily investment objective will be more acute when the underlying index has an extreme one-day movement approaching 50%. In addition, as a result of compounding, the Fund’s performance for periods greater than a single day is likely to be either greater than or less than the inverse of the performance of the underlying index times the stated multiple in the Fund’s investment objective, before accounting for Fund fees and expenses.
Counterparty Credit Risk—The Fund makes investments in financial instruments and 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, to hedge a position, or for other investment purposes. Through these investments and related arrangements (e.g., prime brokerage or securities lending arrangements or derivatives transactions), the Fund is exposed to credit risks that the counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments or otherwise to meet its contractual obligations. If the counterparty becomes insolvent or defaults on (or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling to perform) its payment or other 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 or other assets held by, or on behalf of, the counterparty. If this occurs, the value of your shares in the Fund will decrease. Counterparty credit risk also includes the related risk of having potentially significant exposure to such counterparty.
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 and other instruments (collectively referred to in this paragraph as “derivatives”) pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other investments, including risks relating to leverage, market conditions and market risk, imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, high price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty credit, liquidity, valuation, operational and legal restrictions and risk. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. In addition, 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. Changes in the value of a derivative also may create sudden margin delivery or settlement payment obligations for the Fund, which can materially affect the performance of the Fund, its liquidity, and other aspects of the Fund’s risk profile. The Fund’s use of derivatives to obtain short exposure may result in greater volatility of the Fund's net asset value (“NAV”) per share. If the Advisor is incorrect about its expectations of market conditions, the use of derivatives also could result in a loss, which in some cases may be unlimited. Certain risks are specific to the particular type of derivative instrument in which the Fund may invest. For example, 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 counterparty, credit, legal, liquidity and valuation risks.
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 include imperfect correlation between the movements in the price of the instruments and the price of the underlying assets. In addition, there is a 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 futures positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Advisor, 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 also
PROSPECTUS | 43

are subject to leverage and liquidity risks. The Fund may invest in standard futures contracts, e-mini futures contracts, and micro e-mini futures contracts depending on the investment exposure needs of the Fund. E-mini futures contracts and micro e-mini futures contracts are similar to standard futures contracts, except that they are electronically traded and e-mini futures contracts generally are one-fifth the size of standard futures contracts and micro e-mini futures contracts generally are one-tenth the size of e-mini futures contracts.
Options Risk—Options and 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. Options are subject to correlation risk because there may be an imperfect correlation between the options and the markets for underlying instruments that could cause a given transaction to fail to achieve its objectives. The successful use of options depends on the Advisor’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 options positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Advisor, thus limiting the ability to implement the Fund’s strategies. Options also are particularly subject to leverage risk and can be subject to liquidity risk.
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, for certain standardized swaps, must be traded on a designated contract market or swap execution facility. 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. While exchange trading and central clearing are intended to reduce counterparty credit risk and increase liquidity, they 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, which could increase the cost of swap transactions to the Fund and impose added operational complexity.
Early Closing Risk—The Fund is subject to the risk that unanticipated early closings of securities exchanges and other financial markets may result in the Fund’s inability to buy or sell securities or other financial instruments on that day and may cause the Fund to incur substantial trading losses.
Equity Securities Risk—Equity securities include common stocks and other equity and equity-related securities (and securities convertible into stocks). The Fund is exposed to the risks of equity securities primarily through its investments in equity-related derivatives and other investments. The prices of equity securities generally fluctuate more than those of 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. 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. An increase in the value of equity securities to which the Fund has exposure will adversely affect the value of your investment in the Fund.
Foreign Issuer Exposure Risk—The Fund may invest in securities of foreign companies directly or in financial instruments that are indirectly linked to the performance of foreign issuers, such as ADRs. The Fund’s exposure to foreign issuers and investments in foreign securities, if any, carry unique, additional and heightened risks when compared to U.S. securities, including, but not limited to: currency fluctuations; adverse political (including geopolitical), social and economic developments; trade restrictions (including tariffs) or other government restrictions by the U.S. or other governments; unreliable, untimely or less publicly available information; less government supervision; reporting, accounting, and auditing standards that are not comparable to those in the United States; less liquidity and more volatility; limited legal recourse; and higher transactional costs.
Industry Concentration Risk—The Fund may concentrate its investments in a limited number of issuers conducting business in the same industry or group of related industries. To the extent the Fund does so, the Fund is more vulnerable to adverse market, economic, regulatory, political or other developments affecting that industry or group of related industries than a fund that invests its assets more broadly. As of June 30, 2026, the underlying index components, and thus the Fund's investments, are concentrated in securities issued by companies in the industries described below. The industries in which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund's assets, may be concentrated will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. 
44 | PROSPECTUS

Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry. As a result of the Fund's concentration in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry, the Fund is subject to the risks associated with that Industry. The Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry includes manufacturers of semiconductor equipment, including equipment used in the solar power industry (e.g., raw wafers, gases, liquids and related packaging and material delivery systems), and semiconductors and related products, including manufacturers of solar modules, cells, integrated circuit devices, diodes and light-emitting diodes (LEDs), microprocessors and chips. Companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry rely heavily on technology. The prices of the securities of companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry may fluctuate widely due to competitive pressures, increased sensitivity to short product cycles and aggressive pricing, heavy expenses incurred for research and development of products or services that prove unsuccessful, problems related to bringing products to market, and rapid obsolescence of products. Legislative or regulatory changes and increased government supervision also may affect companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry. The Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry is a separate industry within the Information Technology Sector.
Software Industry. As a result of the Fund's concentration in the Software Industry, the Fund is subject to the risks associated with that Industry. The Software Industry includes companies engaged in developing and producing software designed for specialized applications for the business and consumer markets, including enterprise and technical software, cloud-based software and companies engaged in bitcoin mining, and in developing and producing software for operating systems and platforms, database management software and firewalls. The prices of the securities of issuers in the Software Industry may fluctuate widely due to competitive pressures, increased sensitivity to short product cycles and aggressive pricing, heavy expenses incurred for research and development of products or services that prove unsuccessful, challenges related to bringing products to market, and rapid obsolescence of products. In addition, many software companies rely on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secret laws to establish and protect their proprietary rights in their products and technologies. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by software companies to protect their proprietary rights will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of their technology or that competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to such companies' technology. Legislative or regulatory changes and increased government supervision also may affect companies in the Software Industry. The Software Industry is a separate industry within the Information Technology Sector.
Interest Rate Risk—Fixed income and other debt instruments are subject to the possibility that interest rates could change (or are expected to change). Changes in interest rates (or the expectation of such changes) can be difficult to forecast and may adversely affect the Fund’s investments in these instruments, such as the value or liquidity of, and income generated by, the investments. Interest rates may change as a result of a variety of factors, and the change may be sudden and significant, with unpredictable impacts on the financial markets and the Fund’s investments. Fixed income and other debt instruments with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates and, thus, subject to more volatility than similar instruments with shorter durations. Generally, when interest rates increase, the values of previously issued fixed income and other debt instruments decline and when interest rates decrease, the values of fixed income and other debt instruments rise. During periods of rising interest rates, changes in interest rates on adjustable rate securities may lag behind changes in market rates, which may cause the value of such securities to decline until their interest rates reset to market rates. During periods of declining interest rates, because the interest rates on adjustable rate securities generally reset downward, their market value is unlikely to rise to the same extent as the value of comparable fixed rate securities. The Fund’s yield, returns, and performance may be adversely affected by changing interest rates and the Fund’s NAV per share may be more volatile during changing interest rate environments. Changes in fiscal, economic, monetary and other policies or measures have in the past, and may in the future, cause or exacerbate the risks associated with changing interest rates. Changes in interest rates may also lead to an increase in Fund redemptions, which may result in high portfolio turnover costs and lower valuations, thereby adversely affecting the Fund’s performance.
Large-Capitalization Securities Risk—The Fund is subject to the risk that large-capitalization securities may outperform 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.
Leveraging Risk—The Fund achieves leveraged exposure to the underlying index through the use of derivative instruments. The more the Fund invests in leveraged instruments, the more this leverage will magnify any losses on those investments. The Fund’s investment in these instruments generally requires a small investment relative to the
PROSPECTUS | 45

amount of investment exposure assumed. As a result, such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the amount invested in those instruments. Since the Fund’s investment strategy involves consistently applied leverage, the value of the Fund’s shares will tend to increase or decrease more than the value of any increase or decrease in the underlying index. Leverage will have the effect of magnifying tracking error and also may increase the Fund’s sensitivity to various risks and interest rate environments.
Liquidity and Valuation Risk—It may be difficult for the Fund to purchase and sell particular investments to meet redemption requests or otherwise within a reasonable time at a fair price, or the price at which it has been valued by the Advisor for purposes of the Fund’s NAV, causing the Fund to be less liquid and unable to realize what the Advisor 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. Liquidity and valuation risks are heightened in a changing interest rate or volatile environment particularly for fixed-income and other debt instruments.
Market Risk—The value of, or income generated by, the investments held by the Fund may fluctuate rapidly and unpredictably. These fluctuations may be frequent and significant. In addition, the Fund may incur losses as a result of various market and economic factors, such as those affecting (or perceived to affect) individual companies or issuers or particular industries, or from broader influences, such as general market conditions. In addition, responses to government actions or interventions (including, but not limited, to the threat or imposition of tariffs, trade restrictions, currency restrictions or similar actions) as well as developments related to economic, political (including geopolitical), social, public health, market, extreme weather, natural or man-made disasters or other conditions or events may cause volatility in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and/or debt markets, which could adversely impact the Fund and its investments and their value and performance. Under such conditions, the Fund (or an underlying fund) may experience significant redemption activity by shareholders and could be forced to sell portfolio securities or other assets at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate sufficient cash to pay redeeming shareholders. Certain securities may be difficult to value under such conditions. The Fund’s investments may perform poorly or underperform the general securities markets or other types of securities.
Non-Diversification Risk—The Fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single issuer's securities could cause greater fluctuations in the value of Fund shares than would occur in a diversified fund. The Fund may become diversified for periods of time solely as a result of changes in the composition of the underlying index (e.g., changes in the relative market capitalization or weights of one or more index component stocks).
OTC Trading Risk—Certain of the derivatives in which the Fund may invest may be traded (and privately negotiated) in the OTC market. While the OTC derivatives market is the primary trading venue for many derivatives, it is largely unregulated and provides for less transparency than a national securities or commodities exchange. As a result and similar to other privately negotiated contracts, the Fund is subject to counterparty credit risk with respect to such derivatives contracts.
Passive Investment Risk—The Fund is not actively managed and the Advisor does not attempt to take defensive positions in rising markets. Therefore, the Fund may be subject to greater losses in a rising market than a fund that is actively managed.
Portfolio Turnover Risk—Periodic rebalancing of the Fund's holdings pursuant to its daily investment objective may lead to a greater number of portfolio transactions in the Fund than experienced by other mutual funds. Such frequent and active trading may lead to significantly higher transaction costs because of increased broker commissions associated with such transactions.
Regulatory and Legal Risk—U.S. and non-U.S. governmental agencies and other regulators regularly implement additional regulations (or amend regulations) and legislators pass new laws that affect the investments held by the Fund, the strategies used by the Fund and/or the level of regulation or taxation applicable to the Fund, its investments or service providers. These developments impact the investment strategies, performance, costs and operations of the Fund or taxation of shareholders.

Repurchase Agreement Risk—The Fund’s investment in repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk with respect to the collateral securing the repurchase agreements. Investments in repurchase agreements also may be subject to the risk that the market value of the underlying obligations may decline prior to the expiration of the repurchase agreement term.
Sector Risk—To the extent the components of the Fund’s underlying index, and therefore, the Fund’s holdings, have significant exposure to one or more market sectors, the Fund may be especially sensitive to the developments affecting and risks of such market sectors. The sectors to which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund’s assets, may have significant exposure will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. As of June 30, 2026, the Fund is subject to the Sector Risks described below.
Communication Services Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Communication Services Sector. The Communication Services Sector includes companies that facilitate communication and offer related content and information through various mediums. It includes telecom and media & entertainment companies, including producers of interactive gaming products and companies engaged in content and information creation or distribution through proprietary platforms. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Communication Services Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Communication Services Sector has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall economy and also is affected by economic growth, consumer confidence, attitudes and spending. Increased sensitivity to short product cycles and aggressive pricing, challenges in bringing products to market and changes in demographics and consumer tastes also can affect the demand for, and success of, communication services products and services in the marketplace.
Consumer Discretionary Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Consumer Discretionary Sector. The manufacturing segment of the Consumer Discretionary Sector includes automobiles and components, household durable goods, leisure products, and textiles and apparel. The services segment includes hotels, restaurants and other leisure facilities, and distributors and retailers of consumer discretionary products. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Consumer Discretionary Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Consumer Discretionary Sector has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall economy, and also is affected by economic growth, consumer confidence, attitudes and spending. Changes in demographics and consumer tastes also can affect the demand for, and success of, consumer products and services in the marketplace. Moreover, the Consumer Discretionary Sector encompasses those businesses that tend to be the most sensitive to economic cycles.
Consumer Staples Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Consumer Staples Sector. The Consumer Staples Sector includes manufacturers and distributors of food, beverages and tobacco and producers of non-durable household goods and personal products. The Consumer Staples Sector also includes distributors and retailers of other consumer staples products, including food and drug retailing companies. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Consumer Staples Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Consumer Staples Sector has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall economy, and also is affected by consumer confidence, demands and preferences, and spending. In addition, companies in the Consumer Staples Sector may be subject to risks pertaining to the supply of, demand for, and prices of raw materials.
Health Care Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Health Care Sector. The Health Care Sector includes health care providers and services, companies that manufacture and distribute health care equipment and supplies, and health care technology companies. It also includes companies involved in the research, development, production and marketing of pharmaceuticals and biotechnology products. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Health Care Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Health Care Sector is closely tied to government regulation and policies (such as health care reform measures) and may be affected by government approval of products and services, competitive pricing pressures, rising costs of
PROSPECTUS | 47

medical products and services, product obsolescence, and product liability and other similar litigation. In addition, companies operating in the Health Care Sector are heavily dependent on patent and other intellectual property rights, and a company’s ability to obtain and protect its patents (or the failure to do so) may affect profitability.
Information Technology Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Information Technology Sector. The Information Technology Sector includes companies that offer software and information technology services, manufacturers and distributors of technology hardware and equipment (such as communications equipment, cellular phones, computers and peripherals), electronic equipment and related equipment and materials, and semiconductors and related equipment and materials. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Information Technology Sector. Companies in the Information Technology Sector may be affected by limited product lines, market competition (both domestically and internationally), financial resources and/or personnel. The prices of the securities of companies operating in the Information Technology Sector are closely tied to increased sensitivity to short product cycles and product obsolescence, aggressive pricing, and problems with bringing products to market. Failure to introduce new products, develop and maintain a loyal customer base, or achieve general market acceptance for products could have a material adverse effect on a company’s business. In addition, companies in the Information Technology Sector are heavily dependent on intellectual property and the loss of patent, copyright and trademark protections may adversely affect the profitability of these companies.
Shareholder Trading Risk—The Fund may be used as a tool for certain investors that employ trading strategies involving frequent trading. Such trading strategies may lead to increased portfolio turnover in the Fund, higher transaction costs, and the possibility of increased short-term capital gains (which will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income when distributed to them) and/or long-term capital gains. Large movements of assets into and out of the Fund due to active or frequent trading also may adversely affect the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective.
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 and leverage risks. The loss on a short sale or other short exposure, which, in some cases, may be theoretically unlimited, may be 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. Government actions also may affect the Fund’s ability to engage in short selling.
Tracking Error Risk—The Advisor may not be able to cause the Fund’s performance to match that of the Fund’s benchmark, either on a daily or aggregate basis. Factors such as Fund expenses, imperfect correlation between the Fund’s investments and those of the underlying index, rounding of share prices, changes to the composition of the underlying index, regulatory policies, high portfolio turnover rate, and the use of leverage all contribute to tracking error. Tracking error may cause the Fund’s performance to be less than you expect.
Trading Halt Risk—The Fund typically will hold futures contracts and short-term options. The major exchanges on which these contracts are traded, such as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, have established limits on how much the trading price of a futures contract or option may decline over various time periods within a day, and may halt trading in a contract that exceeds such limits. If a trading halt occurs, the Fund may temporarily be unable to purchase or sell certain securities, futures contracts or options. Such a trading halt near the time the Fund prices its shares may limit the Fund’s ability to use leverage and fully invest its assets, which could increase tracking error and adversely affect performance, and may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
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. In addition, U.S. government securities not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government involve credit risk that is greater than other types of U.S. government securities.

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
The bar chart below shows the performance of the Class C shares of the Fund from year to year. The variability of performance over time provides an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The table below shows the performance of the Class A shares and Class C shares of the Fund as an average over different periods of time in comparison to the performance of a broad-based securities market index intended to represent the overall market (S&P 500® Index) and the Fund's underlying index (NASDAQ-100 Index®). The Fund does not seek to track the S&P 500® Index. The figures in the bar chart and table assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions; however, the figures in the bar chart do not reflect sales charges. If the figures in the bar chart reflected sales charges, returns would be lower. The performance information below reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. Of course, this past performance (before and after taxes) does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform in the future.

$1,000 for retirement accounts
$2,500 for all other accounts
Class A and Class C accounts opened through a financial intermediary (non-direct) will be subject to your financial intermediary’s minimum initial investment amount and minimum account balance requirements, which may be different than the amounts above.
Class A and Class C accounts held directly at Guggenheim Investments (other than those that are managed by financial professionals) are subject to a minimum initial investment and account balance of $5,000. Class A and Class C direct accounts managed by financial professionals are not subject to minimum initial investment and minimum account balance requirements.
There are no minimum amount requirements for subsequent investments in the Fund except for subsequent investments made via Automated Clearing House (“ACH”).
The Fund reserves the right to modify its minimum account balance requirements at any time, with or without prior notice to you.
The Fund redeems its shares continuously and investors may sell their shares back to the Fund on any day that the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) is open for business (a “Business Day”). 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 Fund also offers you the option to send redemption orders to Guggenheim Investments by mail, fax or telephone.
TAX INFORMATION
Fund distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income or capital gains (or a combination of both), unless your investment is in an individual retirement account or other tax-advantaged retirement account. Investments through a tax-advantaged retirement account may be subject to taxation upon withdrawal.

PAYMENTS TO BROKER-DEALERS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES
If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), 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.

Dow 2x Strategy Fund
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The Dow 2x Strategy Fund (the “Fund”) is very different from most other mutual funds in that it seeks daily leveraged investment results. As a result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the performance of an investment in the Fund is magnified.
The effect of leverage on the Fund will generally cause the Fund’s performance to not match the performance of the Fund’s benchmark (as described below) over a period of time greater than a single trading day. This means that the return of the Fund for a period of longer than a single trading day will be the result of each day’s compounded returns over the period, which will very likely differ from twice the return of the Fund’s underlying index (as defined below) for that period. As a consequence, especially in periods of market volatility, the path or trend of the benchmark during the longer period may be at least as important to the Fund’s cumulative return for the longer period as the cumulative return of the benchmark for the relevant longer period. Further, the return for investors who invest for a period longer than a single trading day will not be the product of the return of the Fund’s stated investment goal (i.e., 2x) and the cumulative performance of the benchmark.
The Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund should be utilized only by investors who (a) understand the risks associated with the use of leverage, (b) understand the consequences of seeking daily leveraged investment results, and (c) intend to actively monitor and manage their investments. Investors who do not meet these criteria should not buy shares of the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a complete investment program.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The Fund seeks to provide investment results that match, before fees and expenses, the performance of a specific benchmark on a daily basis. The Fund’s current benchmark is 200% of the performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average® (the “underlying index”). The Fund does not seek to achieve its investment objective over a period of time greater than one day.
FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE FUND
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell Class A shares or Class C shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below. 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 certain funds in the Guggenheim Investments family of funds. 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 under the “Sales Charges” section on page 137 of the Prospectus, in Appendix A to the Prospectus — "Sales Charge Waivers and Discounts Available Through Intermediaries," and in the “Sales Charges, Reductions and Waivers” section beginning on page 68 of the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information (the “SAI”).

“Other Expenses” does not include fees paid to the Fund’s swap contract counterparties, or the management fees, performance fees, and expenses of the reference assets or trading vehicles underlying such swap contracts. These fees and expenses, which are not reflected in this Annual Fund Operating Expenses table, are embedded in the returns of the swap contracts (i.e., the fees and expenses reduce the investment returns of the swap contracts) and represent an indirect cost of investing in the Fund.

The Advisor has contractually agreed, through August 1, 2027, to waive and/or reimburse the Fund’s expenses in an amount equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. In addition, the Advisor also has contractually agreed, through August 1, 2027, to waive and/or reimburse the Fund’s expenses in an additional amount equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Each agreement shall automatically renew for one-year terms unless the Advisor provides written notice to the Fund of the termination of the agreement. Each agreement may be terminated at any time by the Fund’s Board of Trustees and when the Advisor ceases to serve as such.

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 the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 492% of the average value of its portfolio. The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments and most derivatives. If such instruments were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate might be significantly higher.
PROSPECTUS | 53

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Fund employs as its investment strategy a program of investing in the common stock of companies that are generally within the capitalization range of the underlying index and derivative instruments, which primarily consist of equity index swaps and swaps on exchange-traded funds, futures contracts, and options on securities, futures contracts, and stock indices. While the Fund may write (sell) and purchase swaps, it expects primarily to purchase swaps. Swap agreements and futures and options contracts, if used properly, may enable the Fund to meet its objective by increasing the Fund’s exposure to the securities included in the underlying index or in the same proportion that those securities are represented in the Fund's benchmark. The Fund’s investment in derivatives referencing (i) the underlying index, or (ii) securities included in the underlying index, serves as a substitute for investments in each of the securities of companies included in the underlying index and will be counted towards the Fund’s 80% investment policy (as set forth below). The Advisor attempts to consistently apply leverage to increase the Fund's exposure to 200% of the underlying index and expects to rebalance the Fund's holdings daily to maintain such exposure. The Fund’s use of derivatives and the leveraged investment exposure created by such use are expected to be significant. Certain of the Fund’s derivatives investments may be traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in securities of companies included in the Dow Jones Industrial Average® and financial instruments with economic characteristics that should perform similarly to the securities of companies in the Dow Jones Industrial Average®.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average® is a price-weighted index of 30 “blue chip” U.S. stocks, which generally represent large-capitalization companies with a capitalization range of $60.7 billion to $4.8 trillion as of June 30, 2026. To the extent the Fund’s underlying index is concentrated in a particular industry the Fund will necessarily be concentrated in that industry. The industries in which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund's investments, may be concentrated will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. While the Fund's sector exposure may vary over time, as of June 30, 2026, the Fund has significant exposure to the Consumer Discretionary Sector, Financials Sector, Health Care Sector, Industrials Sector, and Information Technology Sector, as each sector is defined by the Global Industry Classification Standard, a widely recognized industry classification methodology developed by MSCI, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC.
On a day-to-day basis, the Fund may hold U.S. government securities or cash equivalents. The Fund also may enter into repurchase agreements with counterparties that are deemed to present acceptable credit risks. In an effort to ensure that the Fund is fully invested on a day-to-day basis, the Fund may conduct any necessary trading activity at or just prior to the close of the U.S. financial markets. 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.
Investments in derivative instruments, such as futures, options and swap agreements, have the economic effect of creating financial leverage in the Fund’s portfolio because such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the amount the Fund has invested in those instruments. Financial leverage will magnify, sometimes significantly, the Fund’s exposure to any increase or decrease in prices associated with a particular reference asset resulting in increased volatility in the value of the Fund’s portfolio. The value of the Fund’s portfolio is likely to experience greater volatility over short-term periods. While such financial leverage has the potential to produce greater gains, it also may result in greater losses, which in some cases may cause the Fund to liquidate other portfolio investments at a loss to comply with limits on leverage imposed by the Investment Company Act of 1940, satisfy margin or collateral requirements, or meet redemption requests.
PRINCIPAL RISKS
The value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate and is subject to investment risks, which means investors could lose money, including all or part of their investment in the Fund. 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. An investment in the Fund does not constitute a complete investment program. The Fund is subject to certain risks and the principal risks of investing in the Fund are summarized below in alphabetical order, and not in the order of importance or potential exposure. The relative significance of each principal risk summarized below may change over time and you should review each risk carefully because any one or more of these risks may result in losses to the Fund. Please see “More Information About the Trust and the Funds – Principal Risks” in the Fund’s Prospectus for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund.
Compounding Risk—In addition to the correlation risks described under “Correlation Risk”, the Fund’s returns are subject to the effects of compounding, which generally will cause the Fund’s performance to not correlate to the performance of the benchmark over periods greater than a single day, before accounting for fees and fund expenses.
54 | PROSPECTUS

Compounded returns are the result of reinvesting daily returns over periods greater than a single day. The Fund’s compounded returns for periods greater than a single day will be different than the performance of the benchmark over the same period. The effects of compounding on the performance of the Fund will be more pronounced when the underlying index experiences increased volatility, the greater the leverage employed in the Fund, and over longer holding periods.
Compounding affects the performance of all investments over time, but has a more significant effect on a leveraged index fund because the magnified changes in performance produced by the use of leverage lead to greater increases and decreases in the fund’s daily returns which are then compounded over time. The effects of compounding, therefore, have a more significant effect on the Fund because it seeks to match a multiple of the performance of the Fund’s underlying index on a daily basis.
Fund performance for periods greater than one day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: (a) underlying index performance; (b) underlying index volatility; (c) financing rates associated with leverage; (d) other Fund expenses; (e) dividends or interest paid by companies in the underlying index; and (f) period of time. The table below illustrates the impact of two principal factors – volatility and index performance – on Fund performance. The table shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of performance and volatility over a one-year period. Performance shown in the table assumes: (a) no dividends paid by the companies included in the underlying index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) a cost of leverage of zero percent. If Fund expenses, including the cost of leverage, were included, the Fund’s performance would be lower than shown.
The unshaded areas in the table below represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return more than twice the performance of the underlying index; conversely, the shaded areas in the table below represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than twice the performance of the underlying index.

The underlying index’s annualized historical volatility rate for the five-year period ended June 30, 2026 is 14.98%. The underlying index’s highest one-year volatility rate during the five-year period is 21.79%. The underlying index’s annualized performance for the five-year period ended June 30, 2026 is 10.78%.
Historical underlying index volatility and performance are not indications of what the underlying index volatility and performance will be in the future. The table is intended to isolate the effects of the underlying index volatility and index performance on the return of the Fund, and underscore that the Fund is designed as a short-term trading vehicle for investors who intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios.
PROSPECTUS | 55

Correlation Risk—A number of factors may affect the Fund’s ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with its benchmark, including instances in which the Fund does not hold or have exposure to each component security of the underlying index and the effect of compounding on the Fund’s returns, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The Fund does not attempt to, and should not be expected to, provide returns  which are a multiple of the returns of the underlying index for periods other than a single day. The risk of the Fund not achieving its daily investment objective will be more acute when the underlying index has an extreme one-day movement approaching 50%. In addition, as a result of compounding, the Fund’s performance for periods greater than a single day is likely to be either greater than or less than the performance of the underlying index times the stated multiple in the Fund’s investment objective, before accounting for Fund fees and expenses.
Counterparty Credit Risk—The Fund makes investments in financial instruments and 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, to hedge a position, or for other investment purposes. Through these investments and related arrangements (e.g., prime brokerage or securities lending arrangements or derivatives transactions), the Fund is exposed to credit risks that the counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments or otherwise to meet its contractual obligations. If the counterparty becomes insolvent or defaults on (or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling to perform) its payment or other 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 or other assets held by, or on behalf of, the counterparty. If this occurs, the value of your shares in the Fund will decrease. Counterparty credit risk also includes the related risk of having potentially significant exposure to such counterparty.
Derivatives Risk—Derivatives and other instruments (collectively referred to in this paragraph as “derivatives”) pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other investments, including risks relating to leverage, market conditions and market risk, imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, high price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty credit, liquidity, valuation, operational and legal restrictions and risk. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. In addition, 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. Changes in the value of a derivative also may create sudden margin delivery or settlement payment obligations for the Fund, which can materially affect the performance of the Fund, its liquidity, and other aspects of the Fund’s risk profile. The Fund’s use of derivatives to obtain short exposure, if any,  may result in greater volatility of the Fund's net asset value (“NAV”) per share. If the Advisor is incorrect about its expectations of market conditions, the use of derivatives also could result in a loss, which in some cases may be unlimited. Certain risks are specific to the particular type of derivative instrument in which the Fund may invest. For example, 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 counterparty, credit, legal, liquidity and valuation risks.
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 include imperfect correlation between the movements in the price of the instruments and the price of the underlying assets. In addition, there is a 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 futures positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Advisor, 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 also are subject to leverage and liquidity risks. The Fund may invest in standard futures contracts, e-mini futures contracts, and micro e-mini futures contracts depending on the investment exposure needs of the Fund. E-mini futures contracts and micro e-mini futures contracts are similar to standard futures contracts, except that they are electronically traded and e-mini futures contracts generally are one-fifth the size of standard futures contracts and micro e-mini futures contracts generally are one-tenth the size of e-mini futures contracts.
Options Risk—Options and 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. Options are subject to correlation risk because there may be an imperfect correlation between the options and the markets for underlying instruments that could cause a given transaction to fail to achieve its objectives. The
56 | PROSPECTUS

successful use of options depends on the Advisor’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 options positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Advisor, thus limiting the ability to implement the Fund’s strategies. Options also are particularly subject to leverage risk and can be subject to liquidity risk.
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, for certain standardized swaps, must be traded on a designated contract market or swap execution facility. 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. While exchange trading and central clearing are intended to reduce counterparty credit risk and increase liquidity, they 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, which could increase the cost of swap transactions to the Fund and impose added operational complexity.
Early Closing Risk—The Fund is subject to the risk that unanticipated early closings of securities exchanges and other financial markets may result in the Fund’s inability to buy or sell securities or other financial instruments on that day and may cause the Fund to incur substantial trading losses.
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 more than those of 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.
Industry Concentration Risk—The Fund may concentrate its investments in a limited number of issuers conducting business in the same industry or group of related industries. To the extent the Fund does so, the Fund is more vulnerable to adverse market, economic, regulatory, political or other developments affecting that industry or group of related industries than a fund that invests its assets more broadly. The industries in which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund's assets, may be concentrated will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. 
Interest Rate Risk—Fixed income and other debt instruments are subject to the possibility that interest rates could change (or are expected to change). Changes in interest rates (or the expectation of such changes) can be difficult to forecast and may adversely affect the Fund’s investments in these instruments, such as the value or liquidity of, and income generated by, the investments. Interest rates may change as a result of a variety of factors, and the change may be sudden and significant, with unpredictable impacts on the financial markets and the Fund’s investments. Fixed income and other debt instruments with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates and, thus, subject to more volatility than similar instruments with shorter durations. Generally, when interest rates increase, the values of previously issued fixed income and other debt instruments decline and when interest rates decrease, the values of fixed income and other debt instruments rise. During periods of rising interest rates, changes in interest rates on adjustable rate securities may lag behind changes in market rates, which may cause the value of such securities to decline until their interest rates reset to market rates. During periods of declining interest rates, because the interest rates on adjustable rate securities generally reset downward, their market value is unlikely to rise to the same extent as the value of comparable fixed rate securities. The Fund’s yield, returns, and performance may be adversely affected by changing interest rates and the Fund’s NAV per share may be more volatile during changing interest rate environments. Changes in fiscal, economic, monetary and other policies or measures have in the past, and may in the future, cause or exacerbate the risks associated with changing interest rates. Changes in interest rates may also lead to an increase in Fund redemptions, which may result in high portfolio turnover costs and lower valuations, thereby adversely affecting the Fund’s performance.
PROSPECTUS | 57

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.
Leveraging Risk—The Fund achieves leveraged exposure to the underlying index through the use of derivative instruments. The more the Fund invests in leveraged instruments, the more this leverage will magnify any losses on those investments. The Fund’s investment in these instruments generally requires a small investment relative to the amount of investment exposure assumed. As a result, such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the amount invested in those instruments. Since the Fund’s investment strategy involves consistently applied leverage, the value of the Fund’s shares will tend to increase or decrease more than the value of any increase or decrease in the underlying index. Leverage will have the effect of magnifying tracking error and also may increase the Fund’s sensitivity to various risks and interest rate environments.
Liquidity and Valuation Risk—It may be difficult for the Fund to purchase and sell particular investments to meet redemption requests or otherwise within a reasonable time at a fair price, or the price at which it has been valued by the Advisor for purposes of the Fund’s NAV, causing the Fund to be less liquid and unable to realize what the Advisor 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. Liquidity and valuation risks are heightened in a changing interest rate or volatile environment particularly for fixed-income and other debt instruments.
Market Risk—The value of, or income generated by, the investments held by the Fund may fluctuate rapidly and unpredictably. These fluctuations may be frequent and significant. In addition, the Fund may incur losses as a result of various market and economic factors, such as those affecting (or perceived to affect) individual companies or issuers or particular industries, or from broader influences, such as general market conditions. In addition, responses to government actions or interventions (including, but not limited, to the threat or imposition of tariffs, trade restrictions, currency restrictions or similar actions) as well as developments related to economic, political (including geopolitical), social, public health, market, extreme weather, natural or man-made disasters or other conditions or events may cause volatility in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and/or debt markets, which could adversely impact the Fund and its investments and their value and performance. Under such conditions, the Fund (or an underlying fund) may experience significant redemption activity by shareholders and could be forced to sell portfolio securities or other assets at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate sufficient cash to pay redeeming shareholders. Certain securities may be difficult to value under such conditions. The Fund’s investments may perform poorly or underperform the general securities markets or other types of securities.
Non-Diversification Risk—The Fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single issuer's securities could cause greater fluctuations in the value of Fund shares than would occur in a diversified fund. The Fund may become diversified for periods of time solely as a result of changes in the composition of the underlying index (e.g., changes in the relative market capitalization or weights of one or more index component stocks).
OTC Trading Risk—Certain of the derivatives in which the Fund may invest may be traded (and privately negotiated) in the OTC market. While the OTC derivatives market is the primary trading venue for many derivatives, it is largely unregulated and provides for less transparency than a national securities or commodities exchange. As a result and similar to other privately negotiated contracts, the Fund is subject to counterparty credit risk with respect to such derivatives contracts.
Passive Investment Risk—The Fund is not actively managed and the Advisor does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. Therefore, the Fund may be subject to greater losses in a declining market than a fund that is actively managed.
Portfolio Turnover Risk—Periodic rebalancing of the Fund's holdings pursuant to its daily investment objective may lead to a greater number of portfolio transactions in the Fund than experienced by other mutual funds. Such frequent and active trading may lead to significantly higher transaction costs because of increased broker commissions associated with such transactions.
58 | PROSPECTUS

Regulatory and Legal Risk—U.S. and non-U.S. governmental agencies and other regulators regularly implement additional regulations (or amend regulations) and legislators pass new laws that affect the investments held by the Fund, the strategies used by the Fund and/or the level of regulation or taxation applicable to the Fund, its investments or service providers. These developments impact the investment strategies, performance, costs and operations of the Fund or taxation of shareholders.
Repurchase Agreement Risk—The Fund’s investment in repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk with respect to the collateral securing the repurchase agreements. Investments in repurchase agreements also may be subject to the risk that the market value of the underlying obligations may decline prior to the expiration of the repurchase agreement term.
Sector Risk—To the extent the components of the Fund’s underlying index, and therefore, the Fund’s holdings, have significant exposure to one or more market sectors, the Fund may be especially sensitive to the developments affecting and risks of such market sectors. The sectors to which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund’s assets, may have significant exposure will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. As of June 30, 2026, the Fund is subject to the Sector Risks described below.
Consumer Discretionary Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Consumer Discretionary Sector. The manufacturing segment of the Consumer Discretionary Sector includes automobiles and components, household durable goods, leisure products, and textiles and apparel. The services segment includes hotels, restaurants and other leisure facilities, and distributors and retailers of consumer discretionary products. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Consumer Discretionary Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Consumer Discretionary Sector has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall economy, and also is affected by economic growth, consumer confidence, attitudes and spending. Changes in demographics and consumer tastes also can affect the demand for, and success of, consumer products and services in the marketplace. Moreover, the Consumer Discretionary Sector encompasses those businesses that tend to be the most sensitive to economic cycles.
Financials Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Financials Sector. The Financials Sector includes companies involved in banking, financial services (including commercial and residential mortgage finance), consumer finance, capital markets (including asset management and custody banks, investment banking and brokerage), Mortgage Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), and insurance. Certain Financials Sector issuers serve as counterparties with which the Fund may enter into derivatives agreements or other similar contractual arrangements. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Financials Sector, which may adversely affect a company's ability to fulfill its obligations as a financial counterparty. Companies operating in the Financials Sector are subject to extensive government regulation, which may limit the financial commitments they can make and the interest rates and fees they can charge. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and may fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition.
Health Care Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Health Care Sector. The Health Care Sector includes health care providers and services, companies that manufacture and distribute health care equipment and supplies, and health care technology companies. It also includes companies involved in the research, development, production and marketing of pharmaceuticals and biotechnology products. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Health Care Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Health Care Sector is closely tied to government regulation and policies (such as health care reform measures) and may be affected by government approval of products and services, competitive pricing pressures, rising costs of medical products and services, product obsolescence, and product liability and other similar litigation. In addition, companies operating in the Health Care Sector are heavily dependent on patent and other intellectual property rights, and a company’s ability to obtain and protect its patents (or the failure to do so) may affect profitability.
PROSPECTUS | 59

Industrials Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Industrials Sector. The Industrials Sector includes manufacturers and distributors of capital goods, such as aerospace and defense, building projects, electrical equipment and machinery, and companies that offer construction and engineering services. The Industrials Sector also includes providers of commercial and professional services including printing, environmental and facilities services, office services and supplies, security and alarm services, human resource and employment services, research and consulting services, and transportation services. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Industrials Sector. The prices of the securities of companies operating in the Industrials Sector may fluctuate due to the level and volatility of commodity prices, the exchange value of the dollar and economic conditions, import controls, worldwide competition, product liability claims, liability for environmental damage, depletion of resources, and mandated expenditures for safety and pollution control devices. In addition, the products of companies operating in the Industrials Sector may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments and the rapid introduction of new products.
Information Technology Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Information Technology Sector. The Information Technology Sector includes companies that offer software and information technology services, manufacturers and distributors of technology hardware and equipment (such as communications equipment, cellular phones, computers and peripherals), electronic equipment and related equipment and materials, and semiconductors and related equipment and materials. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Information Technology Sector. Companies in the Information Technology Sector may be affected by limited product lines, market competition (both domestically and internationally), financial resources and/or personnel. The prices of the securities of companies operating in the Information Technology Sector are closely tied to increased sensitivity to short product cycles and product obsolescence, aggressive pricing, and problems with bringing products to market. Failure to introduce new products, develop and maintain a loyal customer base, or achieve general market acceptance for products could have a material adverse effect on a company’s business. In addition, companies in the Information Technology Sector are heavily dependent on intellectual property and the loss of patent, copyright and trademark protections may adversely affect the profitability of these companies.
Shareholder Trading Risk—The Fund may be used as a tool for certain investors that employ trading strategies involving frequent trading. Such trading strategies may lead to increased portfolio turnover in the Fund, higher transaction costs, and the possibility of increased short-term capital gains (which will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income when distributed to them) and/or long-term capital gains. Large movements of assets into and out of the Fund due to active or frequent trading also may adversely affect the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective.
Tracking Error Risk—The Advisor may not be able to cause the Fund’s performance to match that of the Fund’s benchmark, either on a daily or aggregate basis. Factors such as Fund expenses, imperfect correlation between the Fund’s investments and those of the underlying index, rounding of share prices, changes to the composition of the underlying index, regulatory policies, high portfolio turnover rate, and the use of leverage all contribute to tracking error. Tracking error may cause the Fund’s performance to be less than you expect.
Trading Halt Risk—The Fund typically will hold futures contracts and short-term options. The major exchanges on which these contracts are traded, such as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, have established limits on how much the trading price of a futures contract or option may decline over various time periods within a day, and may halt trading in a contract that exceeds such limits. If a trading halt occurs, the Fund may temporarily be unable to purchase or sell certain securities, futures contracts or options. Such a trading halt near the time the Fund prices its shares may limit the Fund’s ability to use leverage and fully invest its assets, which could increase tracking error and adversely affect performance, and may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
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. In addition, U.S. government securities not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government involve credit risk that is greater than other types of U.S. government securities.

Inverse Dow 2x Strategy Fund
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The Inverse Dow 2x Strategy Fund (the “Fund”) is very different from most other mutual funds in that it seeks to provide leveraged investment results that match twice the inverse of the performance of a specific underlying index on a daily basis, a result opposite of most mutual funds. As a result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the performance of an investment in the Fund is magnified.
The effect of leverage on the Fund will generally cause the Fund’s performance to not match the performance of the Fund’s benchmark (as described below) over a period of time greater than a single trading day. This means that the return of the Fund for a period of longer than a single trading day will be the result of each day’s compounded returns over the period, which will very likely differ from twice the inverse return of the Fund’s underlying index (as defined below) for that period. As a consequence, especially in periods of market volatility, the path or trend of the benchmark during the longer period may be at least as important to the Fund’s cumulative return for the longer period as the cumulative return of the benchmark for the relevant longer period. Further, the return for investors who invest for a period longer than a single trading day will not be the product of the return of the Fund’s stated investment goal (i.e., -2x) and the cumulative performance of the benchmark.
The Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund should be utilized only by investors who (a) understand the risks associated with the use of leverage, (b) understand the consequences of seeking daily leveraged investment results, (c) understand the risks of shorting and (d) intend to actively monitor and manage their investments. Investors who do not meet these criteria should not buy shares of the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a complete investment program.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The Fund seeks to provide investment results that match, before fees and expenses, the performance of a specific benchmark on a daily basis. The Fund’s current benchmark is 200% of the inverse (opposite) of the performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average® (the “underlying index”). The Fund does not seek to achieve its investment objective over a period of time greater than one day.
FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE FUND
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell Class A shares or Class C shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.

The Advisor has contractually agreed, through August 1, 2027, to waive and/or reimburse the Fund’s expenses in an amount equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. In addition, the Advisor also has contractually agreed, through August 1, 2027, to waive and/or reimburse the Fund’s expenses in an additional amount equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Each agreement shall automatically renew for one-year terms unless the Advisor provides written notice to the Fund of the termination of the agreement. Each agreement may be terminated at any time by the Fund’s Board of Trustees and when the Advisor ceases to serve as such.
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 your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
 
1 Year
3 Years
5 Years
10 Years
Class A
$648
$1,031
$1,439
$2,574
Class C
$358
$814
$1,396
$2,976
You would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:
 
1 Year
3 Years
5 Years
10 Years
Class C
$258
$814
$1,396
$2,976
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 the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its portfolio. The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments and most derivatives. If such instruments were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate might be significantly higher.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Fund employs as its investment strategy a program of engaging in short sales of securities generally included in the underlying index and investing in derivative instruments, which primarily consist of equity index swaps and swaps on exchange-traded funds, futures contracts, and options on securities, securities indices, and futures contracts. While the Fund may write (sell) and purchase swaps, it expects primarily to write swaps. The Advisor attempts to consistently apply leverage to increase the Fund's exposure to -200% of the underlying index and expects to rebalance the Fund's holdings daily to maintain such exposure. The Fund’s investment in derivatives referencing (i) the underlying index, or (ii) securities included in the underlying index, serves as a substitute for directly selling short each of the securities included in the underlying index and produces inverse exposure to the underlying index and to securities of companies included in the underlying index. These instruments will be counted towards the Fund’s 80% investment policy (as set forth below). Certain of the Fund’s derivatives investments may be traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in financial instruments with economic characteristics that should perform inversely to the securities of companies included in the Dow Jones Industrial Average®.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average® is a price-weighted index of 30 “blue chip” U.S. stocks, which generally represent large-capitalization companies with a capitalization range of $60.7 billion to $4.8 trillion as of June 30, 2026. To the extent the Fund’s underlying index is concentrated in a particular industry the Fund will necessarily be concentrated in that industry. The industries in which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund’s investments, may be concentrated will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. While the Fund’s sector exposure may vary over time, as of June 30, 2026, the Fund has significant exposure to the Consumer Discretionary Sector, Financials Sector, Health Care Sector, Industrials Sector, and Information Technology Sector, as each sector is defined by the Global Industry Classification Standard, a widely recognized industry classification methodology developed by MSCI, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC.
On a day-to-day basis, the Fund may hold U.S. government securities or cash equivalents. The Fund also may enter into repurchase agreements with counterparties that are deemed to present acceptable credit risks. In an effort to ensure that the Fund is fully invested on a day-to-day basis, the Fund may conduct any necessary trading activity at or just prior to the close of the U.S. financial markets. 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.
Investments in derivative instruments, such as futures, options and swap agreements, have the economic effect of creating financial leverage in the Fund’s portfolio because such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the amount the Fund has invested in those instruments. Financial leverage will magnify, sometimes significantly, the Fund’s exposure to any increase or decrease in prices associated with a particular reference asset resulting in increased volatility in the value of the Fund’s portfolio. The value of the Fund’s portfolio is likely to experience greater volatility over short-term periods. While such financial leverage has the potential to produce greater gains, it also may result in greater losses, which in some cases may cause the Fund to liquidate other portfolio investments at a loss to comply with limits on leverage imposed by the Investment Company Act of 1940, satisfy margin or collateral requirements, or meet redemption requests.
PRINCIPAL RISKS
The value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate and is subject to investment risks, which means investors could lose money, including all or part of their investment in the Fund. 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. An investment in the Fund does not constitute a complete investment program. The Fund is subject to certain risks and the principal risks of investing in the Fund are summarized below in alphabetical order, and not in the order of importance or potential exposure. The relative significance of each principal risk summarized below may change over time and you should review each risk carefully because any one or more of these risks may result in losses to the Fund. Please see “More Information About the Trust and the Funds – Principal Risks” in the Fund’s Prospectus for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund.
Compounding Risk—In addition to the correlation risks described under “Correlation Risk”, the Fund’s returns are subject to the effects of compounding, which generally will cause the Fund’s performance to not correlate to the performance of the benchmark over periods greater than a single day, before accounting for fees and fund expenses. Compounded returns are the result of reinvesting daily returns over periods greater than a single day. The Fund’s
66 | PROSPECTUS

compounded returns for periods greater than a single day will be different than the performance of the benchmark over the same period. The effects of compounding on the performance of the Fund will be more pronounced when the underlying index experiences increased volatility, the greater the leverage employed in the Fund, and over longer holding periods.
Compounding affects the performance of all investments over time, but has a more significant effect on a leveraged index fund because the magnified changes in performance produced by the use of leverage lead to greater increases and decreases in the fund’s daily returns which are then compounded over time. The effects of compounding, therefore, have a more significant effect on the Fund because it seeks to match a multiple of the inverse performance of the Fund’s underlying index on a daily basis.
Fund performance for periods greater than one day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: (a) underlying index performance; (b) underlying index volatility; (c) financing rates associated with leverage; (d) other Fund expenses; (e) dividends or interest paid by companies in the underlying index; and (f) period of time. The table below illustrates the impact of two principal factors – volatility and index performance – on Fund performance. The table shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of performance and volatility over a one-year period. Performance shown in the table assumes: (a) no dividends paid by the companies included in the underlying index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) a cost of leverage of zero percent. If Fund expenses, including the cost of leverage, were included, the Fund’s performance would be lower than shown.
The unshaded areas in the table below represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return more than twice the inverse performance of the underlying index; conversely, the shaded areas in the table below represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return the same or less than twice the inverse performance of the underlying index.

The underlying index’s annualized historical volatility rate for the five-year period ended June 30, 2026 is 14.98%. The underlying index’s highest one-year volatility rate during the five-year period is 21.79%. The underlying index’s annualized performance for the five-year period ended June 30, 2026 is 10.78%.
Historical underlying index volatility and performance are not indications of what the underlying index volatility and performance will be in the future. The table is intended to isolate the effects of the underlying index volatility and index performance on the return of the Fund, and underscore that the Fund is designed as a short-term trading vehicle for investors who intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios.
PROSPECTUS | 67

Correlation Risk—A number of factors may affect the Fund’s ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with its benchmark, including instances in which the Fund does not hold or have exposure to each component security of the underlying index and the effect of compounding on the Fund’s returns, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The Fund does not attempt to, and should not be expected to, provide returns which are an inverse multiple of the returns of the underlying index for periods other than a single day. The risk of the Fund not achieving its daily investment objective will be more acute when the underlying index has an extreme one-day movement approaching 50%. In addition, as a result of compounding, the Fund’s performance for periods greater than a single day is likely to be either greater than or less than the inverse of the performance of the underlying index times the stated multiple in the Fund’s investment objective, before accounting for Fund fees and expenses.
Counterparty Credit Risk—The Fund makes investments in financial instruments and 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, to hedge a position, or for other investment purposes. Through these investments and related arrangements (e.g., prime brokerage or securities lending arrangements or derivatives transactions), the Fund is exposed to credit risks that the counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments or otherwise to meet its contractual obligations. If the counterparty becomes insolvent or defaults on (or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling to perform) its payment or other 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 or other assets held by, or on behalf of, the counterparty. If this occurs, the value of your shares in the Fund will decrease. Counterparty credit risk also includes the related risk of having potentially significant exposure to such counterparty.
Derivatives Risk—Derivatives and other instruments (collectively referred to in this paragraph as “derivatives”) pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other investments, including risks relating to leverage, market conditions and market risk, imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, high price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty credit, liquidity, valuation, operational and legal restrictions and risk. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. In addition, 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. Changes in the value of a derivative also may create sudden margin delivery or settlement payment obligations for the Fund, which can materially affect the performance of the Fund, its liquidity, and other aspects of the Fund’s risk profile. The Fund’s use of derivatives to obtain short exposure may result in greater volatility of the Fund's net asset value (“NAV”) per share. If the Advisor is incorrect about its expectations of market conditions, the use of derivatives also could result in a loss, which in some cases may be unlimited. Certain risks are specific to the particular type of derivative instrument in which the Fund may invest. For example, 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 counterparty, credit, legal, liquidity and valuation risks.
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 include imperfect correlation between the movements in the price of the instruments and the price of the underlying assets. In addition, there is a 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 futures positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Advisor, 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 also are subject to leverage and liquidity risks. The Fund may invest in standard futures contracts, e-mini futures contracts, and micro e-mini futures contracts depending on the investment exposure needs of the Fund. E-mini futures contracts and micro e-mini futures contracts are similar to standard futures contracts, except that they are electronically traded and e-mini futures contracts generally are one-fifth the size of standard futures contracts and micro e-mini futures contracts generally are one-tenth the size of e-mini futures contracts.
Options Risk—Options and 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. Options are subject to correlation risk because there may be an imperfect correlation between the options and the markets for underlying instruments that could cause a given transaction to fail to achieve its objectives. The
68 | PROSPECTUS

successful use of options depends on the Advisor’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 options positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Advisor, thus limiting the ability to implement the Fund’s strategies. Options also are particularly subject to leverage risk and can be subject to liquidity risk.
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, for certain standardized swaps, must be traded on a designated contract market or swap execution facility. 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. While exchange trading and central clearing are intended to reduce counterparty credit risk and increase liquidity, they 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, which could increase the cost of swap transactions to the Fund and impose added operational complexity.
Early Closing Risk—The Fund is subject to the risk that unanticipated early closings of securities exchanges and other financial markets may result in the Fund’s inability to buy or sell securities or other financial instruments on that day and may cause the Fund to incur substantial trading losses.
Equity Securities Risk—Equity securities include common stocks and other equity and equity-related securities (and securities convertible into stocks). The Fund is exposed to the risks of equity securities primarily through its investments in equity-related derivatives and other investments. The prices of equity securities generally fluctuate more than those of 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. 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. An increase in the value of equity securities to which the Fund has exposure will adversely affect the value of your investment in the Fund.
Industry Concentration Risk—The Fund may concentrate its investments in a limited number of issuers conducting business in the same industry or group of related industries. To the extent the Fund does so, the Fund is more vulnerable to adverse market, economic, regulatory, political or other developments affecting that industry or group of related industries than a fund that invests its assets more broadly. The industries in which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund's assets, may be concentrated will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. 
Interest Rate Risk—Fixed income and other debt instruments are subject to the possibility that interest rates could change (or are expected to change). Changes in interest rates (or the expectation of such changes) can be difficult to forecast and may adversely affect the Fund’s investments in these instruments, such as the value or liquidity of, and income generated by, the investments. Interest rates may change as a result of a variety of factors, and the change may be sudden and significant, with unpredictable impacts on the financial markets and the Fund’s investments. Fixed income and other debt instruments with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates and, thus, subject to more volatility than similar instruments with shorter durations. Generally, when interest rates increase, the values of previously issued fixed income and other debt instruments decline and when interest rates decrease, the values of fixed income and other debt instruments rise. During periods of rising interest rates, changes in interest rates on adjustable rate securities may lag behind changes in market rates, which may cause the value of such securities to decline until their interest rates reset to market rates. During periods of declining interest rates, because the interest rates on adjustable rate securities generally reset downward, their market value is unlikely to rise to the same extent as the value of comparable fixed rate securities. The Fund’s yield, returns, and performance may be adversely affected by changing interest rates and the Fund’s NAV per share may be more volatile during changing interest rate environments. Changes in fiscal, economic, monetary and other policies or measures have in the past, and may in the future, cause or exacerbate the risks associated with changing interest rates. Changes in interest rates may also lead to an increase in Fund redemptions, which may result in high portfolio turnover costs and lower valuations, thereby adversely affecting the Fund’s performance.
PROSPECTUS | 69

Large-Capitalization Securities Risk—The Fund is subject to the risk that large-capitalization securities may outperform 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.
Leveraging Risk—The Fund achieves leveraged exposure to the underlying index through the use of derivative instruments. The more the Fund invests in leveraged instruments, the more this leverage will magnify any losses on those investments. The Fund’s investment in these instruments generally requires a small investment relative to the amount of investment exposure assumed. As a result, such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the amount invested in those instruments. Since the Fund’s investment strategy involves consistently applied leverage, the value of the Fund’s shares will tend to increase or decrease more than the value of any increase or decrease in the underlying index. Leverage will have the effect of magnifying tracking error and also may increase the Fund’s sensitivity to various risks and interest rate environments.
Liquidity and Valuation Risk—It may be difficult for the Fund to purchase and sell particular investments to meet redemption requests or otherwise within a reasonable time at a fair price, or the price at which it has been valued by the Advisor for purposes of the Fund’s NAV, causing the Fund to be less liquid and unable to realize what the Advisor 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. Liquidity and valuation risks are heightened in a changing interest rate or volatile environment particularly for fixed-income and other debt instruments.
Market Risk—The value of, or income generated by, the investments held by the Fund may fluctuate rapidly and unpredictably. These fluctuations may be frequent and significant. In addition, the Fund may incur losses as a result of various market and economic factors, such as those affecting (or perceived to affect) individual companies or issuers or particular industries, or from broader influences, such as general market conditions. In addition, responses to government actions or interventions (including, but not limited, to the threat or imposition of tariffs, trade restrictions, currency restrictions or similar actions) as well as developments related to economic, political (including geopolitical), social, public health, market, extreme weather, natural or man-made disasters or other conditions or events may cause volatility in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and/or debt markets, which could adversely impact the Fund and its investments and their value and performance. Under such conditions, the Fund (or an underlying fund) may experience significant redemption activity by shareholders and could be forced to sell portfolio securities or other assets at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate sufficient cash to pay redeeming shareholders. Certain securities may be difficult to value under such conditions. The Fund’s investments may perform poorly or underperform the general securities markets or other types of securities.
Non-Diversification Risk—The Fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single issuer's securities could cause greater fluctuations in the value of Fund shares than would occur in a diversified fund. The Fund may become diversified for periods of time solely as a result of changes in the composition of the underlying index (e.g., changes in the relative market capitalization or weights of one or more index component stocks).
OTC Trading Risk—Certain of the derivatives in which the Fund may invest may be traded (and privately negotiated) in the OTC market. While the OTC derivatives market is the primary trading venue for many derivatives, it is largely unregulated and provides for less transparency than a national securities or commodities exchange. As a result and similar to other privately negotiated contracts, the Fund is subject to counterparty credit risk with respect to such derivatives contracts.
Passive Investment Risk—The Fund is not actively managed and the Advisor does not attempt to take defensive positions in rising markets. Therefore, the Fund may be subject to greater losses in a rising market than a fund that is actively managed.
Portfolio Turnover Risk—Periodic rebalancing of the Fund's holdings pursuant to its daily investment objective may lead to a greater number of portfolio transactions in the Fund than experienced by other mutual funds. Such frequent and active trading may lead to significantly higher transaction costs because of increased broker commissions associated with such transactions.
70 | PROSPECTUS

Regulatory and Legal Risk—U.S. and non-U.S. governmental agencies and other regulators regularly implement additional regulations (or amend regulations) and legislators pass new laws that affect the investments held by the Fund, the strategies used by the Fund and/or the level of regulation or taxation applicable to the Fund, its investments or service providers. These developments impact the investment strategies, performance, costs and operations of the Fund or taxation of shareholders.
Repurchase Agreement Risk—The Fund’s investment in repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk with respect to the collateral securing the repurchase agreements. Investments in repurchase agreements also may be subject to the risk that the market value of the underlying obligations may decline prior to the expiration of the repurchase agreement term.
Sector Risk—To the extent the components of the Fund’s underlying index, and therefore, the Fund’s holdings, have significant exposure to one or more market sectors, the Fund may be especially sensitive to the developments affecting and risks of such market sectors. The sectors to which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund’s assets, may have significant exposure will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. As of June 30, 2026, the Fund is subject to the Sector Risks described below.
Consumer Discretionary Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Consumer Discretionary Sector. The manufacturing segment of the Consumer Discretionary Sector includes automobiles and components, household durable goods, leisure products, and textiles and apparel. The services segment includes hotels, restaurants and other leisure facilities, and distributors and retailers of consumer discretionary products. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Consumer Discretionary Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Consumer Discretionary Sector has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall economy, and also is affected by economic growth, consumer confidence, attitudes and spending. Changes in demographics and consumer tastes also can affect the demand for, and success of, consumer products and services in the marketplace. Moreover, the Consumer Discretionary Sector encompasses those businesses that tend to be the most sensitive to economic cycles.
Financials Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Financials Sector. The Financials Sector includes companies involved in banking, financial services (including commercial and residential mortgage finance), consumer finance, capital markets (including asset management and custody banks, investment banking and brokerage), Mortgage Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), and insurance. Certain Financials Sector issuers serve as counterparties with which the Fund may enter into derivatives agreements or other similar contractual arrangements. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Financials Sector, which may adversely affect a company's ability to fulfill its obligations as a financial counterparty. Companies operating in the Financials Sector are subject to extensive government regulation, which may limit the financial commitments they can make and the interest rates and fees they can charge. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and may fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition.
Health Care Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Health Care Sector. The Health Care Sector includes health care providers and services, companies that manufacture and distribute health care equipment and supplies, and health care technology companies. It also includes companies involved in the research, development, production and marketing of pharmaceuticals and biotechnology products. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Health Care Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Health Care Sector is closely tied to government regulation and policies (such as health care reform measures) and may be affected by government approval of products and services, competitive pricing pressures, rising costs of medical products and services, product obsolescence, and product liability and other similar litigation. In addition, companies operating in the Health Care Sector are heavily dependent on patent and other intellectual property rights, and a company’s ability to obtain and protect its patents (or the failure to do so) may affect profitability.
PROSPECTUS | 71

Industrials Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Industrials Sector. The Industrials Sector includes manufacturers and distributors of capital goods, such as aerospace and defense, building projects, electrical equipment and machinery, and companies that offer construction and engineering services. The Industrials Sector also includes providers of commercial and professional services including printing, environmental and facilities services, office services and supplies, security and alarm services, human resource and employment services, research and consulting services, and transportation services. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Industrials Sector. The prices of the securities of companies operating in the Industrials Sector may fluctuate due to the level and volatility of commodity prices, the exchange value of the dollar and economic conditions, import controls, worldwide competition, product liability claims, liability for environmental damage, depletion of resources, and mandated expenditures for safety and pollution control devices. In addition, the products of companies operating in the Industrials Sector may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments and the rapid introduction of new products.
Information Technology Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Information Technology Sector. The Information Technology Sector includes companies that offer software and information technology services, manufacturers and distributors of technology hardware and equipment (such as communications equipment, cellular phones, computers and peripherals), electronic equipment and related equipment and materials, and semiconductors and related equipment and materials. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Information Technology Sector. Companies in the Information Technology Sector may be affected by limited product lines, market competition (both domestically and internationally), financial resources and/or personnel. The prices of the securities of companies operating in the Information Technology Sector are closely tied to increased sensitivity to short product cycles and product obsolescence, aggressive pricing, and problems with bringing products to market. Failure to introduce new products, develop and maintain a loyal customer base, or achieve general market acceptance for products could have a material adverse effect on a company’s business. In addition, companies in the Information Technology Sector are heavily dependent on intellectual property and the loss of patent, copyright and trademark protections may adversely affect the profitability of these companies.
Shareholder Trading Risk—The Fund may be used as a tool for certain investors that employ trading strategies involving frequent trading. Such trading strategies may lead to increased portfolio turnover in the Fund, higher transaction costs, and the possibility of increased short-term capital gains (which will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income when distributed to them) and/or long-term capital gains. Large movements of assets into and out of the Fund due to active or frequent trading also may adversely affect the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective.
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 and leverage risks. The loss on a short sale or other short exposure, which, in some cases, may be theoretically unlimited, may be 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. Government actions also may affect the Fund’s ability to engage in short selling.
Tracking Error Risk—The Advisor may not be able to cause the Fund’s performance to match that of the Fund’s benchmark, either on a daily or aggregate basis. Factors such as Fund expenses, imperfect correlation between the Fund’s investments and those of the underlying index, rounding of share prices, changes to the composition of the underlying index, regulatory policies, high portfolio turnover rate, and the use of leverage all contribute to tracking error. Tracking error may cause the Fund’s performance to be less than you expect.
Trading Halt Risk—The Fund typically will hold futures contracts and short-term options. The major exchanges on which these contracts are traded, such as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, have established limits on how much the trading price of a futures contract or option may decline over various time periods within a day, and may halt trading in a contract that exceeds such limits. If a trading halt occurs, the Fund may temporarily be unable to purchase or sell certain securities, futures contracts or options. Such a trading halt near the time the Fund prices its shares may limit the Fund’s ability to use leverage and fully invest its assets, which could increase tracking error and adversely affect performance, and may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
72 | PROSPECTUS

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. In addition, U.S. government securities not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government involve credit risk that is greater than other types of U.S. government securities.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
The bar chart below shows the performance of the Class C shares of the Fund from year to year. The variability of performance over time provides an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The table below shows the performance of the Class A shares and Class C shares of the Fund as an average over different periods of time in comparison to the performance of a broad-based securities market index intended to represent the overall market (S&P 500® Index) and the Fund's underlying index (Dow Jones Industrial Average®). The Fund does not seek to track the S&P 500® Index. The figures in the bar chart and table assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions; however, the figures in the bar chart do not reflect sales charges. If the figures in the bar chart reflected sales charges, returns would be lower. The performance information below reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. Of course, this past performance (before and after taxes) does not necessarily indicate 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 1-800-820-0888.

TAX INFORMATION
Fund distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income or capital gains (or a combination of both), unless your investment is in an individual retirement account or other tax-advantaged retirement account. Investments through a tax-advantaged retirement account may be subject to taxation upon withdrawal.
PAYMENTS TO BROKER-DEALERS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES
If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), 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.

Russell 2000® 2x Strategy Fund
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The Russell 2000® 2x Strategy Fund (the “Fund”) is very different from most other mutual funds in that it seeks daily leveraged investment results. As a result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the performance of an investment in the Fund is magnified.
The effect of leverage on the Fund will generally cause the Fund’s performance to not match the performance of the Fund’s benchmark (as described below) over a period of time greater than a single trading day. This means that the return of the Fund for a period of longer than a single trading day will be the result of each day’s compounded returns over the period, which will very likely differ from twice the return of the Fund’s underlying index (as defined below) for that period. As a consequence, especially in periods of market volatility, the path or trend of the benchmark during the longer period may be at least as important to the Fund’s cumulative return for the longer period as the cumulative return of the benchmark for the relevant longer period. Further, the return for investors who invest for a period longer than a single trading day will not be the product of the return of the Fund’s stated investment goal (i.e., 2x) and the cumulative performance of the benchmark.
The Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund should be utilized only by investors who (a) understand the risks associated with the use of leverage, (b) understand the consequences of seeking daily leveraged investment results, and (c) intend to actively monitor and manage their investments. Investors who do not meet these criteria should not buy shares of the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a complete investment program.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The Fund seeks to provide investment results that match, before fees and expenses, the performance of a specific benchmark on a daily basis. The Fund’s current benchmark is 200% of the performance of the Russell 2000® Index (the “underlying index”). The Fund does not seek to achieve its investment objective over a period of time greater than one day.
FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE FUND
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell Class A shares or Class C shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below. 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 certain funds in the Guggenheim Investments family of funds. 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 under the “Sales Charges” section on page 137 of the Prospectus, in Appendix A to the Prospectus — "Sales Charge Waivers and Discounts Available Through Intermediaries," and in the “Sales Charges, Reductions and Waivers” section beginning on page 68 of the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information (the “SAI”).

“Other Expenses” does not include fees paid to the Fund’s swap contract counterparties, or the management fees, performance fees, and expenses of the reference assets or trading vehicles underlying such swap contracts. These fees and expenses, which are not reflected in this Annual Fund Operating Expenses table, are embedded in the returns of the swap contracts (i.e., the fees and expenses reduce the investment returns of the swap contracts) and represent an indirect cost of investing in the Fund.

The Advisor has contractually agreed, through August 1, 2027, to waive and/or reimburse the Fund’s expenses in an amount equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. In addition, the Advisor also has contractually agreed, through August 1, 2027, to waive and/or reimburse the Fund’s expenses in an additional amount equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Each agreement shall automatically renew for one-year terms unless the Advisor provides written notice to the Fund of the termination of the agreement. Each agreement may be terminated at any time by the Fund’s Board of Trustees and when the Advisor ceases to serve as such.
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.

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 the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 40% of the average value of its portfolio. The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments and most derivatives. If such instruments were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate might be significantly higher.
PROSPECTUS | 77

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Fund employs as its investment strategy a program of investing in the common stock of companies that are generally within the capitalization range of the underlying index, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and derivative instruments, which primarily consist of equity index swaps and swaps on ETFs, futures contracts, and options on securities, futures contracts, and stock indices. While the Fund may write (sell) and purchase swaps, it expects primarily to purchase swaps. Swap agreements and futures and options contracts, if used properly, may enable the Fund to meet its objective by increasing the Fund’s exposure to the securities included in the underlying index or in the same proportion that those securities are represented in the Fund's benchmark. The Fund’s investment in derivatives referencing (i) the underlying index, or (ii) securities included in the underlying index, serves as a substitute for investments in each of the securities of companies included in the underlying and will be counted towards the Fund’s 80% investment policy (as set forth below). The Advisor attempts to consistently apply leverage to increase the Fund's exposure to 200% of the underlying index and expects to rebalance the Fund's holdings daily to maintain such exposure. The Fund’s use of derivatives and the leveraged investment exposure created by such use are expected to be significant. Certain of the Fund’s derivatives investments may be traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in securities of companies included in the Russell 2000® Index and financial instruments with economic characteristics that should perform similarly to the securities of companies in the Russell 2000® Index.
The Russell 2000® Index is composed of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000® Index, representing approximately 10% of the Russell 3000® total market capitalization and consisting of capitalizations ranging from $0.5 million to $13.8 billion as of June 30, 2026. The Russell 3000® Index is composed of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies ranked by total market capitalization, representing approximately 98% of the U.S. investable equity market. Certain of the companies included in the Russell 2000® Index may be structured as real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). To the extent the Fund’s underlying index is concentrated in a particular industry the Fund will necessarily be concentrated in that industry. The industries in which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund’s investments, may be concentrated will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. While the Fund’s sector exposure may vary over time, as of June 30, 2026, the Fund has significant exposure to the Consumer Discretionary Sector, Energy Sector, Financials Sector, Health Care Sector, Industrials Sector, Information Technology Sector, Materials Sector, and Real Estate Sector, as each sector is defined by the Global Industry Classification Standard, a widely recognized industry classification methodology developed by MSCI, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC.
On a day-to-day basis, the Fund may hold U.S. government securities or cash equivalents. The Fund also may enter into repurchase agreements with counterparties that are deemed to present acceptable credit risks. In an effort to ensure that the Fund is fully invested on a day-to-day basis, the Fund may conduct any necessary trading activity at or just prior to the close of the U.S. financial markets. 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.
Investments in derivative instruments, such as futures, options and swap agreements, have the economic effect of creating financial leverage in the Fund’s portfolio because such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the amount the Fund has invested in those instruments. Financial leverage will magnify, sometimes significantly, the Fund’s exposure to any increase or decrease in prices associated with a particular reference asset resulting in increased volatility in the value of the Fund’s portfolio. The value of the Fund’s portfolio is likely to experience greater volatility over short-term periods. While such financial leverage has the potential to produce greater gains, it also may result in greater losses, which in some cases may cause the Fund to liquidate other portfolio investments at a loss to comply with limits on leverage imposed by the Investment Company Act of 1940, satisfy margin or collateral requirements, or meet redemption requests.
PRINCIPAL RISKS
The value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate and is subject to investment risks, which means investors could lose money, including all or part of their investment in the Fund. 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. An investment in the Fund does not constitute a complete investment program. The Fund is subject to certain risks and the principal risks of investing in the Fund are summarized below in alphabetical order, and not in the order of importance or potential exposure. The relative significance of each principal risk summarized below may change over time and you should review each risk carefully because any one or more of these risks may result in losses to the Fund. Please see “More Information About the Trust and the Funds – Principal Risks” in the Fund’s Prospectus for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund.
78 | PROSPECTUS

Compounding Risk—In addition to the correlation risks described under “Correlation Risk”, the Fund’s returns are subject to the effects of compounding, which generally will cause the Fund’s performance to not correlate to the performance of the benchmark over periods greater than a single day, before accounting for fees and fund expenses. Compounded returns are the result of reinvesting daily returns over periods greater than a single day. The Fund’s compounded returns for periods greater than a single day will be different than the performance of the benchmark over the same period. The effects of compounding on the performance of the Fund will be more pronounced when the underlying index experiences increased volatility, the greater the leverage employed in the Fund, and over longer holding periods.
Compounding affects the performance of all investments over time, but has a more significant effect on a leveraged index fund because the magnified changes in performance produced by the use of leverage lead to greater increases and decreases in the fund’s daily returns which are then compounded over time. The effects of compounding, therefore, have a more significant effect on the Fund because it seeks to match a multiple of the performance of the Fund’s underlying index on a daily basis.
Fund performance for periods greater than one day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: (a) underlying index performance; (b) underlying index volatility; (c) financing rates associated with leverage; (d) other Fund expenses; (e) dividends or interest paid by companies in the underlying index; and (f) period of time. The table below illustrates the impact of two principal factors – volatility and index performance – on Fund performance. The table shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of performance and volatility over a one-year period. Performance shown in the table assumes: (a) no dividends paid by the companies included in the underlying index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) a cost of leverage of zero percent. If Fund expenses, including the cost of leverage, were included, the Fund’s performance would be lower than shown.
The unshaded areas in the table below represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return more than twice the performance of the underlying index; conversely, the shaded areas in the table below represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than twice the performance of the underlying index.

PROSPECTUS | 79

Historical underlying index volatility and performance are not indications of what the underlying index volatility and performance will be in the future. The table is intended to isolate the effects of the underlying index volatility and index performance on the return of the Fund, and underscore that the Fund is designed as a short-term trading vehicle for investors who intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios.
Correlation Risk—A number of factors may affect the Fund’s ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with its benchmark, including instances in which the Fund does not hold or have exposure to each component security of the underlying index and the effect of compounding on the Fund’s returns, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The Fund does not attempt to, and should not be expected to, provide returns  which are a multiple of the returns of the underlying index for periods other than a single day. The risk of the Fund not achieving its daily investment objective will be more acute when the underlying index has an extreme one-day movement approaching 50%. In addition, as a result of compounding, the Fund’s performance for periods greater than a single day is likely to be either greater than or less than the performance of the underlying index times the stated multiple in the Fund’s investment objective, before accounting for Fund fees and expenses.
Counterparty Credit Risk—The Fund makes investments in financial instruments and 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, to hedge a position, or for other investment purposes. Through these investments and related arrangements (e.g., prime brokerage or securities lending arrangements or derivatives transactions), the Fund is exposed to credit risks that the counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments or otherwise to meet its contractual obligations. If the counterparty becomes insolvent or defaults on (or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling to perform) its payment or other 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 or other assets held by, or on behalf of, the counterparty. If this occurs, the value of your shares in the Fund will decrease. Counterparty credit risk also includes the related risk of having potentially significant exposure to such counterparty.
Derivatives Risk—Derivatives and other instruments (collectively referred to in this paragraph as “derivatives”) pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other investments, including risks relating to leverage, market conditions and market risk, imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, high price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty credit, liquidity, valuation, operational and legal restrictions and risk. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. In addition, 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. Changes in the value of a derivative also may create sudden margin delivery or settlement payment obligations for the Fund, which can materially affect the performance of the Fund, its liquidity, and other aspects of the Fund’s risk profile. The Fund’s use of derivatives to obtain short exposure, if any,  may result in greater volatility of the Fund's net asset value (“NAV”) per share. If the Advisor is incorrect about its expectations of market conditions, the use of derivatives also could result in a loss, which in some cases may be unlimited. Certain risks are specific to the particular type of derivative instrument in which the Fund may invest. For example, 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 counterparty, credit, legal, liquidity and valuation risks.
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 include imperfect correlation between the movements in the price of the instruments and the price of the underlying assets. In addition, there is a 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 futures positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Advisor, 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 also are subject to leverage and liquidity risks. The Fund may invest in standard futures contracts, e-mini futures contracts, and micro e-mini futures contracts depending on the investment exposure needs of the Fund. E-mini futures contracts and micro e-mini futures contracts are similar to standard futures contracts, except that they are electronically traded and e-mini futures contracts generally are one-fifth the size of standard futures contracts and micro e-mini futures contracts generally are one-tenth the size of e-mini futures contracts.
80 | PROSPECTUS

Options Risk—Options and 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. Options are subject to correlation risk because there may be an imperfect correlation between the options and the markets for underlying instruments that could cause a given transaction to fail to achieve its objectives. The successful use of options depends on the Advisor’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 options positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Advisor, thus limiting the ability to implement the Fund’s strategies. Options also are particularly subject to leverage risk and can be subject to liquidity risk.
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, for certain standardized swaps, must be traded on a designated contract market or swap execution facility. 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. While exchange trading and central clearing are intended to reduce counterparty credit risk and increase liquidity, they 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, which could increase the cost of swap transactions to the Fund and impose added operational complexity.
Early Closing Risk—The Fund is subject to the risk that unanticipated early closings of securities exchanges and other financial markets may result in the Fund’s inability to buy or sell securities or other financial instruments on that day and may cause the Fund to incur substantial trading losses.
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 more than those of 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.
Industry Concentration Risk—The Fund may concentrate its investments in a limited number of issuers conducting business in the same industry or group of related industries. To the extent the Fund does so, the Fund is more vulnerable to adverse market, economic, regulatory, political or other developments affecting that industry or group of related industries than a fund that invests its assets more broadly. The industries in which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund's assets, may be concentrated will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. 
Interest Rate Risk—Fixed income and other debt instruments are subject to the possibility that interest rates could change (or are expected to change). Changes in interest rates (or the expectation of such changes) can be difficult to forecast and may adversely affect the Fund’s investments in these instruments, such as the value or liquidity of, and income generated by, the investments. Interest rates may change as a result of a variety of factors, and the change may be sudden and significant, with unpredictable impacts on the financial markets and the Fund’s investments. Fixed income and other debt instruments with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates and, thus, subject to more volatility than similar instruments with shorter durations. Generally, when interest rates increase, the values of previously issued fixed income and other debt instruments decline and when interest rates decrease, the values of fixed income and other debt instruments rise. During periods of rising interest rates, changes in interest rates on adjustable rate securities may lag behind changes in market rates, which may cause the value of such securities to decline until their interest rates reset to market rates. During periods of declining interest rates, because the interest rates on adjustable rate securities generally reset downward, their market value is unlikely to rise to the same extent as the value of comparable fixed rate securities. The Fund’s yield, returns, and performance may be adversely affected by changing interest rates and the Fund’s NAV per share may be more
PROSPECTUS | 81

volatile during changing interest rate environments. Changes in fiscal, economic, monetary and other policies or measures have in the past, and may in the future, cause or exacerbate the risks associated with changing interest rates. Changes in interest rates may also lead to an increase in Fund redemptions, which may result in high portfolio turnover costs and lower valuations, thereby adversely affecting the Fund’s performance.
Investment in Investment Vehicles Risk—The Fund may seek to gain certain exposure through investments in other investment vehicles. Investing in other investment vehicles, including ETFs and other mutual funds, subjects the Fund to those risks affecting the investment vehicle, including the possibility that the value of the underlying securities held by the investment vehicle could decrease 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 or a listed closed-end fund are subject to, among other risks, the risk that the shares may trade at a discount or premium relative to the NAV of the shares and the listing exchange may halt trading of the shares.
Leveraging Risk—The Fund achieves leveraged exposure to the underlying index through the use of derivative instruments. The more the Fund invests in leveraged instruments, the more this leverage will magnify any losses on those investments. The Fund’s investment in these instruments generally requires a small investment relative to the amount of investment exposure assumed. As a result, such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the amount invested in those instruments. Since the Fund’s investment strategy involves consistently applied leverage, the value of the Fund’s shares will tend to increase or decrease more than the value of any increase or decrease in the underlying index. Leverage will have the effect of magnifying tracking error and also may increase the Fund’s sensitivity to various risks and interest rate environments.
Liquidity and Valuation Risk—It may be difficult for the Fund to purchase and sell particular investments to meet redemption requests or otherwise within a reasonable time at a fair price, or the price at which it has been valued by the Advisor for purposes of the Fund’s NAV, causing the Fund to be less liquid and unable to realize what the Advisor 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. Liquidity and valuation risks are heightened in a changing interest rate or volatile environment particularly for fixed-income and other debt instruments.
Market Risk—The value of, or income generated by, the investments held by the Fund may fluctuate rapidly and unpredictably. These fluctuations may be frequent and significant. In addition, the Fund may incur losses as a result of various market and economic factors, such as those affecting (or perceived to affect) individual companies or issuers or particular industries, or from broader influences, such as general market conditions. In addition, responses to government actions or interventions (including, but not limited, to the threat or imposition of tariffs, trade restrictions, currency restrictions or similar actions) as well as developments related to economic, political (including geopolitical), social, public health, market, extreme weather, natural or man-made disasters or other conditions or events may cause volatility in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and/or debt markets, which could adversely impact the Fund and its investments and their value and performance. Under such conditions, the Fund (or an underlying fund) may experience significant redemption activity by shareholders and could be forced to sell portfolio securities or other assets at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate sufficient cash to pay redeeming shareholders. Certain securities may be difficult to value under such conditions. The Fund’s investments may perform poorly or underperform the general securities markets or other types of securities.
Non-Diversification Risk—The Fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single issuer's securities could cause greater fluctuations in the value of Fund shares than would occur in a diversified fund. The Fund may become diversified for periods of time solely as a result of changes in the composition of the underlying index (e.g., changes in the relative market capitalization or weights of one or more index component stocks).
OTC Trading Risk—Certain of the derivatives in which the Fund may invest may be traded (and privately negotiated) in the OTC market. While the OTC derivatives market is the primary trading venue for many derivatives, it is largely unregulated and provides for less transparency than a national securities or commodities exchange. As a result and similar to other privately negotiated contracts, the Fund is subject to counterparty credit risk with respect to such derivatives contracts.
82 | PROSPECTUS

Passive Investment Risk—The Fund is not actively managed and the Advisor does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. Therefore, the Fund may be subject to greater losses in a declining market than a fund that is actively managed.
Portfolio Turnover Risk—Periodic rebalancing of the Fund's holdings pursuant to its daily investment objective may lead to a greater number of portfolio transactions in the Fund than experienced by other mutual funds. Such frequent and active trading may lead to significantly higher transaction costs because of increased broker commissions associated with such transactions.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) Risk—REITs are classified as equity REITs, mortgage REITs or hybrid REITs. Equity REITs own real estate directly and the value of, and income earned by, the REITs depends upon the income of the underlying properties and the rental income they earn. Mortgage REITs make construction, development or long-term mortgage loans and are sensitive to the credit quality of the borrower. Mortgage REITs derive their income from interest earned on such mortgage loans. Hybrid REITs generally hold both ownership interests and mortgage interests in real estate. In addition to the risks pertaining to real estate investments more generally, REITs may be subject to additional risks, including risks associated with the direct ownership of real property, including declines in the value of real estate, risks related to general and local economic conditions, overbuilding and increased competition, increases in property taxes and operating expenses and variations in rental income. REITs (especially mortgage REITs) also are subject to interest rate and prepayment 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. U.S. REITs also are 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.
Regulatory and Legal Risk—U.S. and non-U.S. governmental agencies and other regulators regularly implement additional regulations (or amend regulations) and legislators pass new laws that affect the investments held by the Fund, the strategies used by the Fund and/or the level of regulation or taxation applicable to the Fund, its investments or service providers. These developments impact the investment strategies, performance, costs and operations of the Fund or taxation of shareholders.
Repurchase Agreement Risk—The Fund’s investment in repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk with respect to the collateral securing the repurchase agreements. Investments in repurchase agreements also may be subject to the risk that the market value of the underlying obligations may decline prior to the expiration of the repurchase agreement term.
Sector Risk—To the extent the components of the Fund’s underlying index, and therefore, the Fund’s holdings, have significant exposure to one or more market sectors, the Fund may be especially sensitive to the developments affecting and risks of such market sectors. The sectors to which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund’s assets, may have significant exposure will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. As of June 30, 2026, the Fund is subject to the Sector Risks described below.
Consumer Discretionary Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Consumer Discretionary Sector. The manufacturing segment of the Consumer Discretionary Sector includes automobiles and components, household durable goods, leisure products, and textiles and apparel. The services segment includes hotels, restaurants and other leisure facilities, and distributors and retailers of consumer discretionary products. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Consumer Discretionary Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Consumer Discretionary Sector has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall economy, and also is affected by economic growth, consumer confidence, attitudes and spending. Changes in demographics and consumer tastes also can affect the demand for, and success of, consumer products and services in the marketplace. Moreover, the Consumer Discretionary Sector encompasses those businesses that tend to be the most sensitive to economic cycles.
Energy Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Energy Sector. The Energy Sector includes companies operating in the exploration and production, refining and marketing, and storage and transportation of oil and gas and coal and consumable fuels. It also includes
PROSPECTUS | 83

companies that offer oil and gas equipment and related services. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Energy Sector. The Energy Sector has historically experienced substantial price volatility. The performance of companies operating in the Energy Sector is closely tied to the price and supply of energy fuels and international political events, and companies operating in the Energy Sector are subject to market and other specific risks, including, among others: fluctuations in commodity prices and/or interest rates; increased governmental or environmental regulation or policy; reduced availability of natural gas or other commodities for transporting, processing, storing or delivering; declines in domestic or foreign production or consumption; slowdowns in new construction; extreme weather or other natural disasters; consumer preferences; and threats of attack by terrorists and state-sponsored actors on energy assets. In addition, companies in the Energy Sector are at risk of liability from accidents resulting in injury, loss of life or property, pollution or other environmental damage claims. Energy companies also can be significantly affected by the supply of, and demand for, particular energy products (such as oil and natural gas), which may result in overproduction or underproduction. Over time, depletion of natural gas reserves and other energy reserves may also affect the profitability of energy companies.
Financials Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Financials Sector. The Financials Sector includes companies involved in banking, financial services (including commercial and residential mortgage finance), consumer finance, capital markets (including asset management and custody banks, investment banking and brokerage), Mortgage Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), and insurance. Certain Financials Sector issuers serve as counterparties with which the Fund may enter into derivatives agreements or other similar contractual arrangements. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Financials Sector, which may adversely affect a company's ability to fulfill its obligations as a financial counterparty. Companies operating in the Financials Sector are subject to extensive government regulation, which may limit the financial commitments they can make and the interest rates and fees they can charge. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and may fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition.
Health Care Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Health Care Sector. The Health Care Sector includes health care providers and services, companies that manufacture and distribute health care equipment and supplies, and health care technology companies. It also includes companies involved in the research, development, production and marketing of pharmaceuticals and biotechnology products. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Health Care Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Health Care Sector is closely tied to government regulation and policies (such as health care reform measures) and may be affected by government approval of products and services, competitive pricing pressures, rising costs of medical products and services, product obsolescence, and product liability and other similar litigation. In addition, companies operating in the Health Care Sector are heavily dependent on patent and other intellectual property rights, and a company’s ability to obtain and protect its patents (or the failure to do so) may affect profitability.
Industrials Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Industrials Sector. The Industrials Sector includes manufacturers and distributors of capital goods, such as aerospace and defense, building projects, electrical equipment and machinery, and companies that offer construction and engineering services. The Industrials Sector also includes providers of commercial and professional services including printing, environmental and facilities services, office services and supplies, security and alarm services, human resource and employment services, research and consulting services, and transportation services. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Industrials Sector. The prices of the securities of companies operating in the Industrials Sector may fluctuate due to the level and volatility of commodity prices, the exchange value of the dollar and economic conditions, import controls, worldwide competition, product liability claims, liability for environmental damage, depletion of resources, and mandated expenditures for safety and pollution control devices. In addition, the products of companies operating in the Industrials Sector may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments and the rapid introduction of new products.
84 | PROSPECTUS

Information Technology Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Information Technology Sector. The Information Technology Sector includes companies that offer software and information technology services, manufacturers and distributors of technology hardware and equipment (such as communications equipment, cellular phones, computers and peripherals), electronic equipment and related equipment and materials, and semiconductors and related equipment and materials. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Information Technology Sector. Companies in the Information Technology Sector may be affected by limited product lines, market competition (both domestically and internationally), financial resources and/or personnel. The prices of the securities of companies operating in the Information Technology Sector are closely tied to increased sensitivity to short product cycles and product obsolescence, aggressive pricing, and problems with bringing products to market. Failure to introduce new products, develop and maintain a loyal customer base, or achieve general market acceptance for products could have a material adverse effect on a company’s business. In addition, companies in the Information Technology Sector are heavily dependent on intellectual property and the loss of patent, copyright and trademark protections may adversely affect the profitability of these companies.
Materials Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Materials Sector. The Materials Sector includes companies that manufacture chemicals, construction materials, forest products, glass, paper and related packaging products, and metals, minerals and mining companies, including producers of steel. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Materials Sector. The prices of the securities of companies operating in the Materials Sector may fluctuate widely due to fluctuations in supply and demand for basic materials, volatility of commodity prices, the exchange value of the U.S. dollar, import controls, world economic growth and competition, depletion of resources and energy conservation, liability for environmental damage, technological progress, and government regulations, including international political and economic developments, the environmental impact of energy and basic materials operations and tax and other governmental regulatory policies.
Real Estate Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Real Estate Sector. The Real Estate Sector includes companies operating in real estate development and operations. It also includes companies offering real estate-related services and REITs. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Real Estate Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Real Estate Sector has historically been cyclical and particularly sensitive to the overall economy and market changes, including declines in the value of real estate or, conversely, saturation of the real estate market, economic downturns and defaults by borrowers or tenants during such periods, increases in competition, limited availability of mortgage funds or other limits to accessing the credit or capital markets, and changes in interest rates.
Shareholder Trading Risk—The Fund may be used as a tool for certain investors that employ trading strategies involving frequent trading. Such trading strategies may lead to increased portfolio turnover in the Fund, higher transaction costs, and the possibility of increased short-term capital gains (which will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income when distributed to them) and/or long-term capital gains. Large movements of assets into and out of the Fund due to active or frequent trading also may adversely affect the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective.
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.
Tracking Error Risk—The Advisor may not be able to cause the Fund’s performance to match that of the Fund’s benchmark, either on a daily or aggregate basis. Factors such as Fund expenses, imperfect correlation between the Fund’s investments and those of the underlying index, rounding of share prices, changes to the composition of the underlying index, regulatory policies, high portfolio turnover rate, and the use of leverage all contribute to tracking error. Tracking error may cause the Fund’s performance to be less than you expect.
PROSPECTUS | 85

Trading Halt Risk—The Fund typically will hold futures contracts and short-term options. The major exchanges on which these contracts are traded, such as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, have established limits on how much the trading price of a futures contract or option may decline over various time periods within a day, and may halt trading in a contract that exceeds such limits. If a trading halt occurs, the Fund may temporarily be unable to purchase or sell certain securities, futures contracts or options. Such a trading halt near the time the Fund prices its shares may limit the Fund’s ability to use leverage and fully invest its assets, which could increase tracking error and adversely affect performance, and may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
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. In addition, U.S. government securities not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government involve credit risk that is greater than other types of U.S. government securities.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
The bar chart below shows the performance of the Class C shares of the Fund from year to year. The variability of performance over time provides an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The table below shows the performance of the Class A shares and Class C shares of the Fund as an average over different periods of time in comparison to the performance of a broad-based securities market index intended to represent the overall market (S&P 500® Index) and the Fund's underlying index (Russell 2000® Index). The Fund does not seek to track the S&P 500® Index. The figures in the bar chart and table assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions; however, the figures in the bar chart do not reflect sales charges. If the figures in the bar chart reflected sales charges, returns would be lower. The performance information below reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. Of course, this past performance (before and after taxes) does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform in the future.

Class A and Class C direct accounts managed by financial professionals are not subject to minimum initial investment and minimum account balance requirements.
There are no minimum amount requirements for subsequent investments in the Fund except for subsequent investments made via Automated Clearing House (“ACH”).
PROSPECTUS | 87

The Fund reserves the right to modify its minimum account balance requirements at any time, with or without prior notice to you.
The Fund redeems its shares continuously and investors may sell their shares back to the Fund on any day that the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) is open for business (a “Business Day”). 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 Fund also offers you the option to send redemption orders to Guggenheim Investments by mail, fax or telephone.
TAX INFORMATION
Fund distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income, qualified dividend income, or capital gains (or a combination thereof), unless your investment is in an individual retirement account or other tax-advantaged retirement account. Investments through a tax-advantaged retirement account may be subject to taxation upon withdrawal.
PAYMENTS TO BROKER-DEALERS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES
If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), 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.

Inverse Russell 2000® 2x Strategy Fund
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The Inverse Russell 2000® 2x Strategy Fund (the “Fund”) is very different from most other mutual funds in that it seeks to provide leveraged investment results that match twice the inverse of the performance of a specific underlying index on a daily basis, a result opposite of most mutual funds. As a result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the performance of an investment in the Fund is magnified.
The effect of leverage on the Fund will generally cause the Fund’s performance to not match the performance of the Fund’s benchmark (as described below) over a period of time greater than a single trading day. This means that the return of the Fund for a period of longer than a single trading day will be the result of each day’s compounded returns over the period, which will very likely differ from twice the inverse return of the Fund’s underlying index (as defined below) for that period. As a consequence, especially in periods of market volatility, the path or trend of the benchmark during the longer period may be at least as important to the Fund’s cumulative return for the longer period as the cumulative return of the benchmark for the relevant longer period. Further, the return for investors who invest for a period longer than a single trading day will not be the product of the return of the Fund’s stated investment goal (i.e., -2x) and the cumulative performance of the benchmark.
The Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund should be utilized only by investors who (a) understand the risks associated with the use of leverage, (b) understand the consequences of seeking daily leveraged investment results, (c) understand the risks of shorting and (d) intend to actively monitor and manage their investments. Investors who do not meet these criteria should not buy shares of the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a complete investment program.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The Fund seeks to provide investment results that match, before fees and expenses, the performance of a specific benchmark on a daily basis. The Fund’s current benchmark is 200% of the inverse (opposite) of the performance of the Russell 2000® Index (the “underlying index”). The Fund does not seek to achieve its investment objective over a period of time greater than one day.
FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE FUND
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell Class A shares or Class C shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below. 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 certain funds in the Guggenheim Investments family of funds. 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 under the “Sales Charges” section on page 137 of the Prospectus, in Appendix A to the Prospectus — "Sales Charge Waivers and Discounts Available Through Intermediaries," and in the “Sales Charges, Reductions and Waivers” section beginning on page 68 of the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information (the “SAI”).

“Other Expenses” does not include fees paid to the Fund’s swap contract counterparties, or the management fees, performance fees, and expenses of the reference assets or trading vehicles underlying such swap contracts. These fees and expenses, which are not reflected in this Annual Fund Operating Expenses table, are embedded in the returns of the swap contracts (i.e., the fees and expenses reduce the investment returns of the swap contracts) and represent an indirect cost of investing in the Fund.

The Advisor has contractually agreed, through August 1, 2027, to waive and/or reimburse the Fund’s expenses in an amount equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. In addition, the Advisor also has contractually agreed, through August 1, 2027, to waive and/or reimburse the Fund’s expenses in an additional amount equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Each agreement shall automatically renew for one-year terms unless the Advisor provides written notice to the Fund of the termination of the agreement. Each agreement may be terminated at any time by the Fund’s Board of Trustees and when the Advisor ceases to serve as such.
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.

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 the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its portfolio. The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments and most derivatives. If such instruments were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate might be significantly higher.
90 | PROSPECTUS

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Fund employs as its investment strategy a program of engaging in short sales of securities generally included in the underlying index and investing in derivative instruments, which primarily consist of equity index swaps and swaps on exchange-traded funds, futures contracts, and options on securities, securities indices, and futures contracts. While the Fund may write (sell) and purchase swaps, it expects primarily to write swaps. The Advisor attempts to consistently apply leverage to increase the Fund's exposure to -200% of the underlying index and expects to rebalance the Fund’s holdings daily to maintain such exposure. The Fund’s investment in derivatives referencing (i) the underlying index, or (ii) securities included in the underlying index, serves as a substitute for directly selling short each of the securities included in the underlying index and produces inverse exposure to the underlying index and to securities of companies included in the underlying index. These instruments will be counted towards the Fund’s 80% investment policy (as set forth below). Certain of the Fund’s derivatives investments may be traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in financial instruments with economic characteristics that should perform inversely to the securities of companies included in the Russell 2000® Index.
The Russell 2000® Index is composed of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000® Index, representing approximately 10% of the Russell 3000® total market capitalization and consisting of capitalizations ranging from $0.5 million to $13.8 billion as of June 30, 2026. The Russell 3000® Index is composed of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies ranked by total market capitalization, representing approximately 98% of the U.S. investable equity market. Certain of the companies included in the Russell 2000® Index may be structured as real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). To the extent the Fund’s underlying index is concentrated in a particular industry the Fund will necessarily be concentrated in that industry. The industries in which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund's investments, may be concentrated will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. While the Fund's sector exposure may vary over time, as of June 30, 2026, the Fund has significant exposure to the Consumer Discretionary Sector, Energy Sector, Financials Sector, Health Care Sector, Industrials Sector, Information Technology Sector, Materials Sector, and Real Estate Sector, as each sector is defined by the Global Industry Classification Standard, a widely recognized industry classification methodology developed by MSCI, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC.
On a day-to-day basis, the Fund may hold U.S. government securities or cash equivalents. The Fund also may enter into repurchase agreements with counterparties that are deemed to present acceptable credit risks. In an effort to ensure that the Fund is fully invested on a day-to-day basis, the Fund may conduct any necessary trading activity at or just prior to the close of the U.S. financial markets. 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.
Investments in derivative instruments, such as futures, options and swap agreements, have the economic effect of creating financial leverage in the Fund’s portfolio because such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the amount the Fund has invested in those instruments. Financial leverage will magnify, sometimes significantly, the Fund’s exposure to any increase or decrease in prices associated with a particular reference asset resulting in increased volatility in the value of the Fund’s portfolio. The value of the Fund’s portfolio is likely to experience greater volatility over short-term periods. While such financial leverage has the potential to produce greater gains, it also may result in greater losses, which in some cases may cause the Fund to liquidate other portfolio investments at a loss to comply with limits on leverage imposed by the Investment Company Act of 1940, satisfy margin or collateral requirements, or meet redemption requests.
PRINCIPAL RISKS
The value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate and is subject to investment risks, which means investors could lose money, including all or part of their investment in the Fund. 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. An investment in the Fund does not constitute a complete investment program. The Fund is subject to certain risks and the principal risks of investing in the Fund are summarized below in alphabetical order, and not in the order of importance or potential exposure. The relative significance of each principal risk summarized below may change over time and you should review each risk carefully because any one or more of these risks may result in losses to the Fund. Please see “More Information About the Trust and the Funds – Principal Risks” in the Fund’s Prospectus for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund.
Compounding Risk—In addition to the correlation risks described under “Correlation Risk”, the Fund’s returns are subject to the effects of compounding, which generally will cause the Fund’s performance to not correlate to the performance of the benchmark over periods greater than a single day, before accounting for fees and fund expenses.
PROSPECTUS | 91

Compounded returns are the result of reinvesting daily returns over periods greater than a single day. The Fund’s compounded returns for periods greater than a single day will be different than the performance of the benchmark over the same period. The effects of compounding on the performance of the Fund will be more pronounced when the underlying index experiences increased volatility, the greater the leverage employed in the Fund, and over longer holding periods.
Compounding affects the performance of all investments over time, but has a more significant effect on a leveraged index fund because the magnified changes in performance produced by the use of leverage lead to greater increases and decreases in the fund’s daily returns which are then compounded over time. The effects of compounding, therefore, have a more significant effect on the Fund because it seeks to match a multiple of the inverse performance of the Fund’s underlying index on a daily basis.
Fund performance for periods greater than one day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: (a) underlying index performance; (b) underlying index volatility; (c) financing rates associated with leverage; (d) other Fund expenses; (e) dividends or interest paid by companies in the underlying index; and (f) period of time. The table below illustrates the impact of two principal factors – volatility and index performance – on Fund performance. The table shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of performance and volatility over a one-year period. Performance shown in the table assumes: (a) no dividends paid by the companies included in the underlying index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) a cost of leverage of zero percent. If Fund expenses, including the cost of leverage, were included, the Fund’s performance would be lower than shown.
The unshaded areas in the table below represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return more than twice the inverse performance of the underlying index; conversely, the shaded areas in the table below represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return the same or less than twice the inverse performance of the underlying index.

The underlying index’s annualized historical volatility rate for the five-year period ended June 30, 2026 is 20.75%. The underlying index’s highest one-year volatility rate during the five-year period is 24.44%. The underlying index’s annualized performance for the five-year period ended June 30, 2026 is 6.98%.
Historical underlying index volatility and performance are not indications of what the underlying index volatility and performance will be in the future. The table is intended to isolate the effects of the underlying index volatility and index performance on the return of the Fund, and underscore that the Fund is designed as a short-term trading vehicle for investors who intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios.
92 | PROSPECTUS

Correlation Risk—A number of factors may affect the Fund’s ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with its benchmark, including instances in which the Fund does not hold or have exposure to each component security of the underlying index and the effect of compounding on the Fund’s returns, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The Fund does not attempt to, and should not be expected to, provide returns which are an inverse multiple of the returns of the underlying index for periods other than a single day. The risk of the Fund not achieving its daily investment objective will be more acute when the underlying index has an extreme one-day movement approaching 50%. In addition, as a result of compounding, the Fund’s performance for periods greater than a single day is likely to be either greater than or less than the inverse of the performance of the underlying index times the stated multiple in the Fund’s investment objective, before accounting for Fund fees and expenses.
Counterparty Credit Risk—The Fund makes investments in financial instruments and 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, to hedge a position, or for other investment purposes. Through these investments and related arrangements (e.g., prime brokerage or securities lending arrangements or derivatives transactions), the Fund is exposed to credit risks that the counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments or otherwise to meet its contractual obligations. If the counterparty becomes insolvent or defaults on (or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling to perform) its payment or other 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 or other assets held by, or on behalf of, the counterparty. If this occurs, the value of your shares in the Fund will decrease. Counterparty credit risk also includes the related risk of having potentially significant exposure to such counterparty.
Derivatives Risk—Derivatives and other instruments (collectively referred to in this paragraph as “derivatives”) pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other investments, including risks relating to leverage, market conditions and market risk, imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, high price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty credit, liquidity, valuation, operational and legal restrictions and risk. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. In addition, 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. Changes in the value of a derivative also may create sudden margin delivery or settlement payment obligations for the Fund, which can materially affect the performance of the Fund, its liquidity, and other aspects of the Fund’s risk profile. The Fund’s use of derivatives to obtain short exposure may result in greater volatility of the Fund's net asset value (“NAV”) per share. If the Advisor is incorrect about its expectations of market conditions, the use of derivatives also could result in a loss, which in some cases may be unlimited. Certain risks are specific to the particular type of derivative instrument in which the Fund may invest. For example, 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 counterparty, credit, legal, liquidity and valuation risks.
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 include imperfect correlation between the movements in the price of the instruments and the price of the underlying assets. In addition, there is a 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 futures positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Advisor, 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 also are subject to leverage and liquidity risks. The Fund may invest in standard futures contracts, e-mini futures contracts, and micro e-mini futures contracts depending on the investment exposure needs of the Fund. E-mini futures contracts and micro e-mini futures contracts are similar to standard futures contracts, except that they are electronically traded and e-mini futures contracts generally are one-fifth the size of standard futures contracts and micro e-mini futures contracts generally are one-tenth the size of e-mini futures contracts.
Options Risk—Options and 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. Options are subject to correlation risk because there may be an imperfect correlation between the options and the markets for underlying instruments that could cause a given transaction to fail to achieve its objectives. The
PROSPECTUS | 93

successful use of options depends on the Advisor’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 options positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Advisor, thus limiting the ability to implement the Fund’s strategies. Options also are particularly subject to leverage risk and can be subject to liquidity risk.
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, for certain standardized swaps, must be traded on a designated contract market or swap execution facility. 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. While exchange trading and central clearing are intended to reduce counterparty credit risk and increase liquidity, they 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, which could increase the cost of swap transactions to the Fund and impose added operational complexity.
Early Closing Risk—The Fund is subject to the risk that unanticipated early closings of securities exchanges and other financial markets may result in the Fund’s inability to buy or sell securities or other financial instruments on that day and may cause the Fund to incur substantial trading losses.
Equity Securities Risk—Equity securities include common stocks and other equity and equity-related securities (and securities convertible into stocks). The Fund is exposed to the risks of equity securities primarily through its investments in equity-related derivatives and other investments. The prices of equity securities generally fluctuate more than those of 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. 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. An increase in the value of equity securities to which the Fund has exposure will adversely affect the value of your investment in the Fund.
Industry Concentration Risk—The Fund may concentrate its investments in a limited number of issuers conducting business in the same industry or group of related industries. To the extent the Fund does so, the Fund is more vulnerable to adverse market, economic, regulatory, political or other developments affecting that industry or group of related industries than a fund that invests its assets more broadly. The industries in which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund's assets, may be concentrated will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. 
Interest Rate Risk—Fixed income and other debt instruments are subject to the possibility that interest rates could change (or are expected to change). Changes in interest rates (or the expectation of such changes) can be difficult to forecast and may adversely affect the Fund’s investments in these instruments, such as the value or liquidity of, and income generated by, the investments. Interest rates may change as a result of a variety of factors, and the change may be sudden and significant, with unpredictable impacts on the financial markets and the Fund’s investments. Fixed income and other debt instruments with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates and, thus, subject to more volatility than similar instruments with shorter durations. Generally, when interest rates increase, the values of previously issued fixed income and other debt instruments decline and when interest rates decrease, the values of fixed income and other debt instruments rise. During periods of rising interest rates, changes in interest rates on adjustable rate securities may lag behind changes in market rates, which may cause the value of such securities to decline until their interest rates reset to market rates. During periods of declining interest rates, because the interest rates on adjustable rate securities generally reset downward, their market value is unlikely to rise to the same extent as the value of comparable fixed rate securities. The Fund’s yield, returns, and performance may be adversely affected by changing interest rates and the Fund’s NAV per share may be more volatile during changing interest rate environments. Changes in fiscal, economic, monetary and other policies or measures have in the past, and may in the future, cause or exacerbate the risks associated with changing interest rates. Changes in interest rates may also lead to an increase in Fund redemptions, which may result in high portfolio turnover costs and lower valuations, thereby adversely affecting the Fund’s performance.
94 | PROSPECTUS

Leveraging Risk—The Fund achieves leveraged exposure to the underlying index through the use of derivative instruments. The more the Fund invests in leveraged instruments, the more this leverage will magnify any losses on those investments. The Fund’s investment in these instruments generally requires a small investment relative to the amount of investment exposure assumed. As a result, such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the amount invested in those instruments. Since the Fund’s investment strategy involves consistently applied leverage, the value of the Fund’s shares will tend to increase or decrease more than the value of any increase or decrease in the underlying index. Leverage will have the effect of magnifying tracking error and also may increase the Fund’s sensitivity to various risks and interest rate environments.
Liquidity and Valuation Risk—It may be difficult for the Fund to purchase and sell particular investments to meet redemption requests or otherwise within a reasonable time at a fair price, or the price at which it has been valued by the Advisor for purposes of the Fund’s NAV, causing the Fund to be less liquid and unable to realize what the Advisor 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. Liquidity and valuation risks are heightened in a changing interest rate or volatile environment particularly for fixed-income and other debt instruments.
Market Risk—The value of, or income generated by, the investments held by the Fund may fluctuate rapidly and unpredictably. These fluctuations may be frequent and significant. In addition, the Fund may incur losses as a result of various market and economic factors, such as those affecting (or perceived to affect) individual companies or issuers or particular industries, or from broader influences, such as general market conditions. In addition, responses to government actions or interventions (including, but not limited, to the threat or imposition of tariffs, trade restrictions, currency restrictions or similar actions) as well as developments related to economic, political (including geopolitical), social, public health, market, extreme weather, natural or man-made disasters or other conditions or events may cause volatility in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and/or debt markets, which could adversely impact the Fund and its investments and their value and performance. Under such conditions, the Fund (or an underlying fund) may experience significant redemption activity by shareholders and could be forced to sell portfolio securities or other assets at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate sufficient cash to pay redeeming shareholders. Certain securities may be difficult to value under such conditions. The Fund’s investments may perform poorly or underperform the general securities markets or other types of securities.
Non-Diversification Risk—The Fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single issuer's securities could cause greater fluctuations in the value of Fund shares than would occur in a diversified fund. The Fund may become diversified for periods of time solely as a result of changes in the composition of the underlying index (e.g., changes in the relative market capitalization or weights of one or more index component stocks).
OTC Trading Risk—Certain of the derivatives in which the Fund may invest may be traded (and privately negotiated) in the OTC market. While the OTC derivatives market is the primary trading venue for many derivatives, it is largely unregulated and provides for less transparency than a national securities or commodities exchange. As a result and similar to other privately negotiated contracts, the Fund is subject to counterparty credit risk with respect to such derivatives contracts.
Passive Investment Risk—The Fund is not actively managed and the Advisor does not attempt to take defensive positions in rising markets. Therefore, the Fund may be subject to greater losses in a rising market than a fund that is actively managed.
Portfolio Turnover Risk—Periodic rebalancing of the Fund's holdings pursuant to its daily investment objective may lead to a greater number of portfolio transactions in the Fund than experienced by other mutual funds. Such frequent and active trading may lead to significantly higher transaction costs because of increased broker commissions associated with such transactions.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) Risk—REITs are classified as equity REITs, mortgage REITs or hybrid REITs. Equity REITs own real estate directly and the value of, and income earned by, the REITs depends upon the income of the underlying properties and the rental income they earn. Mortgage REITs make construction, development or long-term mortgage loans and are sensitive to the credit quality of the borrower. Mortgage REITs derive their income from interest earned on such mortgage loans. Hybrid REITs generally hold both ownership
PROSPECTUS | 95

interests and mortgage interests in real estate. In addition to the risks pertaining to real estate investments more generally, REITs may be subject to additional risks, including risks associated with the direct ownership of real property, including declines in the value of real estate, risks related to general and local economic conditions, overbuilding and increased competition, increases in property taxes and operating expenses and variations in rental income. REITs (especially mortgage REITs) also are subject to interest rate and prepayment 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. U.S. REITs also are 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.
Regulatory and Legal Risk—U.S. and non-U.S. governmental agencies and other regulators regularly implement additional regulations (or amend regulations) and legislators pass new laws that affect the investments held by the Fund, the strategies used by the Fund and/or the level of regulation or taxation applicable to the Fund, its investments or service providers. These developments impact the investment strategies, performance, costs and operations of the Fund or taxation of shareholders.
Repurchase Agreement Risk—The Fund’s investment in repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk with respect to the collateral securing the repurchase agreements. Investments in repurchase agreements also may be subject to the risk that the market value of the underlying obligations may decline prior to the expiration of the repurchase agreement term.
Sector Risk—To the extent the components of the Fund’s underlying index, and therefore, the Fund’s holdings, have significant exposure to one or more market sectors, the Fund may be especially sensitive to the developments affecting and risks of such market sectors. The sectors to which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund’s assets, may have significant exposure will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. As of June 30, 2026, the Fund is subject to the Sector Risks described below.
Consumer Discretionary Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Consumer Discretionary Sector. The manufacturing segment of the Consumer Discretionary Sector includes automobiles and components, household durable goods, leisure products, and textiles and apparel. The services segment includes hotels, restaurants and other leisure facilities, and distributors and retailers of consumer discretionary products. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Consumer Discretionary Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Consumer Discretionary Sector has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall economy, and also is affected by economic growth, consumer confidence, attitudes and spending. Changes in demographics and consumer tastes also can affect the demand for, and success of, consumer products and services in the marketplace. Moreover, the Consumer Discretionary Sector encompasses those businesses that tend to be the most sensitive to economic cycles.
Energy Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Energy Sector. The Energy Sector includes companies operating in the exploration and production, refining and marketing, and storage and transportation of oil and gas and coal and consumable fuels. It also includes companies that offer oil and gas equipment and related services. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Energy Sector. The Energy Sector has historically experienced substantial price volatility. The performance of companies operating in the Energy Sector is closely tied to the price and supply of energy fuels and international political events, and companies operating in the Energy Sector are subject to market and other specific risks, including, among others: fluctuations in commodity prices and/or interest rates; increased governmental or environmental regulation or policy; reduced availability of natural gas or other commodities for transporting, processing, storing or delivering; declines in domestic or foreign production or consumption; slowdowns in new construction; extreme weather or other natural disasters; consumer preferences; and threats of attack by terrorists and state-sponsored actors on energy assets. In addition, companies in the Energy Sector are at risk of liability from accidents resulting in injury, loss of life or property, pollution or other environmental damage claims. Energy companies also can be significantly affected by the supply of, and demand for, particular energy products (such as oil and natural gas), which may result in overproduction or underproduction. Over time, depletion of natural gas reserves and other energy reserves may also affect the profitability of energy companies.
96 | PROSPECTUS

Financials Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Financials Sector. The Financials Sector includes companies involved in banking, financial services (including commercial and residential mortgage finance), consumer finance, capital markets (including asset management and custody banks, investment banking and brokerage), Mortgage Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), and insurance. Certain Financials Sector issuers serve as counterparties with which the Fund may enter into derivatives agreements or other similar contractual arrangements. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Financials Sector, which may adversely affect a company's ability to fulfill its obligations as a financial counterparty. Companies operating in the Financials Sector are subject to extensive government regulation, which may limit the financial commitments they can make and the interest rates and fees they can charge. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and may fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition.
Health Care Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Health Care Sector. The Health Care Sector includes health care providers and services, companies that manufacture and distribute health care equipment and supplies, and health care technology companies. It also includes companies involved in the research, development, production and marketing of pharmaceuticals and biotechnology products. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Health Care Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Health Care Sector is closely tied to government regulation and policies (such as health care reform measures) and may be affected by government approval of products and services, competitive pricing pressures, rising costs of medical products and services, product obsolescence, and product liability and other similar litigation. In addition, companies operating in the Health Care Sector are heavily dependent on patent and other intellectual property rights, and a company’s ability to obtain and protect its patents (or the failure to do so) may affect profitability.
Industrials Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Industrials Sector. The Industrials Sector includes manufacturers and distributors of capital goods, such as aerospace and defense, building projects, electrical equipment and machinery, and companies that offer construction and engineering services. The Industrials Sector also includes providers of commercial and professional services including printing, environmental and facilities services, office services and supplies, security and alarm services, human resource and employment services, research and consulting services, and transportation services. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Industrials Sector. The prices of the securities of companies operating in the Industrials Sector may fluctuate due to the level and volatility of commodity prices, the exchange value of the dollar and economic conditions, import controls, worldwide competition, product liability claims, liability for environmental damage, depletion of resources, and mandated expenditures for safety and pollution control devices. In addition, the products of companies operating in the Industrials Sector may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments and the rapid introduction of new products.
Information Technology Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Information Technology Sector. The Information Technology Sector includes companies that offer software and information technology services, manufacturers and distributors of technology hardware and equipment (such as communications equipment, cellular phones, computers and peripherals), electronic equipment and related equipment and materials, and semiconductors and related equipment and materials. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Information Technology Sector. Companies in the Information Technology Sector may be affected by limited product lines, market competition (both domestically and internationally), financial resources and/or personnel. The prices of the securities of companies operating in the Information Technology Sector are closely tied to increased sensitivity to short product cycles and product obsolescence, aggressive pricing, and problems with bringing products to market. Failure to introduce new products, develop and maintain a loyal customer base, or achieve general market acceptance for products could have a material adverse effect on a company’s business. In addition, companies in the Information Technology Sector are heavily dependent on intellectual property and the loss of patent, copyright and trademark protections may adversely affect the profitability of these companies.
PROSPECTUS | 97

Materials Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Materials Sector. The Materials Sector includes companies that manufacture chemicals, construction materials, forest products, glass, paper and related packaging products, and metals, minerals and mining companies, including producers of steel. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Materials Sector. The prices of the securities of companies operating in the Materials Sector may fluctuate widely due to fluctuations in supply and demand for basic materials, volatility of commodity prices, the exchange value of the U.S. dollar, import controls, world economic growth and competition, depletion of resources and energy conservation, liability for environmental damage, technological progress, and government regulations, including international political and economic developments, the environmental impact of energy and basic materials operations and tax and other governmental regulatory policies.
Real Estate Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Real Estate Sector. The Real Estate Sector includes companies operating in real estate development and operations. It also includes companies offering real estate-related services and REITs. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Real Estate Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Real Estate Sector has historically been cyclical and particularly sensitive to the overall economy and market changes, including declines in the value of real estate or, conversely, saturation of the real estate market, economic downturns and defaults by borrowers or tenants during such periods, increases in competition, limited availability of mortgage funds or other limits to accessing the credit or capital markets, and changes in interest rates.
Shareholder Trading Risk—The Fund may be used as a tool for certain investors that employ trading strategies involving frequent trading. Such trading strategies may lead to increased portfolio turnover in the Fund, higher transaction costs, and the possibility of increased short-term capital gains (which will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income when distributed to them) and/or long-term capital gains. Large movements of assets into and out of the Fund due to active or frequent trading also may adversely affect the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective.
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 and leverage risks. The loss on a short sale or other short exposure, which, in some cases, may be theoretically unlimited, may be 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. 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 outperform 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.
Tracking Error Risk—The Advisor may not be able to cause the Fund’s performance to match that of the Fund’s benchmark, either on a daily or aggregate basis. Factors such as Fund expenses, imperfect correlation between the Fund’s investments and those of the underlying index, rounding of share prices, changes to the composition of the underlying index, regulatory policies, high portfolio turnover rate, and the use of leverage all contribute to tracking error. Tracking error may cause the Fund’s performance to be less than you expect.
Trading Halt Risk—The Fund typically will hold futures contracts and short-term options. The major exchanges on which these contracts are traded, such as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, have established limits on how much the trading price of a futures contract or option may decline over various time periods within a day, and may halt trading in a contract that exceeds such limits. If a trading halt occurs, the Fund may temporarily be unable to purchase or sell certain securities, futures contracts or options. Such a trading halt near the time the Fund prices its shares may limit the Fund’s ability to use leverage and fully invest its assets, which could increase tracking error and adversely affect performance, and may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.

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. In addition, U.S. government securities not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government involve credit risk that is greater than other types of U.S. government securities.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
The bar chart below shows the performance of the Class C shares of the Fund from year to year. The variability of performance over time provides an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The table below shows the performance of the Class A shares and Class C shares of the Fund as an average over different periods of time in comparison to the performance of a broad-based securities market index intended to represent the overall market (S&P 500® Index) and the Fund's underlying index (Russell 2000® Index). The Fund does not seek to track the S&P 500® Index. The figures in the bar chart and table assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions; however, the figures in the bar chart do not reflect sales charges. If the figures in the bar chart reflected sales charges, returns would be lower. The performance information below reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. Of course, this past performance (before and after taxes) does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform in the future.

TAX INFORMATION
Fund distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income or capital gains (or a combination of both), unless your investment is in an individual retirement account or other tax-advantaged retirement account. Investments through a tax-advantaged retirement account may be subject to taxation upon withdrawal.
PAYMENTS TO BROKER-DEALERS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES
If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), 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.

More Information About the Trust and the Funds
Rydex Dynamic Funds (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust offering a number of professionally managed investment portfolios, or funds. This Prospectus describes the Class A shares and Class C shares of the S&P 500® 2x Strategy Fund, Inverse S&P 500® 2x Strategy Fund, NASDAQ-100® 2x Strategy Fund, Inverse NASDAQ-100® 2x Strategy Fund, Dow 2x Strategy Fund, Inverse Dow 2x Strategy Fund, Russell 2000® 2x Strategy Fund and Inverse Russell 2000® 2x Strategy Fund (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”).
The Funds may be appropriate for investors who use an investment strategy that relies on frequent buying, selling, or exchanging among stock mutual funds, because the Funds do not limit how often an investor may exchange among Funds. In addition, the Funds do not impose any transaction fees when investors exchange shares. The Funds provide multiple opportunities for investors to capitalize on market trends and to capture market momentum with intra-day Fund share pricing and trading. Dynamic asset allocators also may utilize intra-day trading as a defensive strategy to react to market movements before investments are adversely affected.
For purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), each Fund is a registered investment company, and the acquisition of Fund shares by other investment companies is subject to the restrictions of Section 12(d)(1) thereof. Any investment company considering purchasing shares of a Fund in amounts that would cause it to exceed the restrictions of Section 12(d)(1) should first contact the Trust to determine if the Fund may accept such investment. Rule 12d1-4 under the 1940 Act permits registered investment companies to invest in the Funds beyond the limits of Section 12(d)(1) subject to certain terms and conditions, including that such registered investment companies enter into an agreement with the Trust. However, a Fund may not be permitted to accept such an investment by another investment company if the Fund is currently invested in the securities of other investment companies beyond the limits set forth in Section 12(d)(1)(A) in reliance on Rule 12d1-4.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
The investment objective of each Fund is non-fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval.
If each of the S&P 500® 2x Strategy Fund, NASDAQ-100® 2x Strategy Fund, Dow 2x Strategy Fund, and Russell 2000® 2x Strategy Fund meets its investment objective, the value of the Fund’s shares will tend to increase on a daily basis by 200% of any increase in the value of the Fund’s underlying index (e.g., if the value of the underlying index goes up by 5%, the value of the Fund’s shares should go up by 10% on that day). When the value of the Fund’s underlying index declines, the value of the Fund’s shares should also decrease on a daily basis by 200% of any decrease in the value of the underlying index (e.g., if the value of the underlying index goes down by 5%, the value of the Fund’s shares should go down by 10% on that day).
If each of the Inverse S&P 500® 2x Strategy Fund, Inverse NASDAQ-100® 2x Strategy Fund, Inverse Dow 2x Strategy Fund, and Inverse Russell 2000® 2x Strategy Fund meets its investment objective, the value of the Fund’s shares will tend to increase on a daily basis by 200% of any decrease in the value of the Fund’s underlying index (e.g., if the value of the Fund’s underlying index goes down by 5%, the value of the Fund’s shares should go up by 10% on that day). When the value of the Fund’s underlying index increases, the value of the Fund’s shares should decrease on a daily basis by 200% of any increase in the value of the underlying index (e.g., if the value of the Fund’s underlying index goes up by 5%, the value of the Fund’s shares should go down by 10% on that day).
None of the Funds seek to achieve their respective investment objectives over a period of time greater than a single day. As a result of compounding, which is discussed in greater detail under “Understanding Compounding & the Effect of Leverage,” each Fund’s performance for periods greater than a single day is likely to be either greater than or less than the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, before Fund fees and expenses.
Each of the S&P 500® 2x Strategy Fund’s, NASDAQ-100® 2x Strategy Fund’s, Dow 2x Strategy Fund’s, and Russell 2000® 2x Strategy Fund’s investment policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in financial instruments with economic characteristics that should perform similarly to the securities of companies in its underlying index is a non-fundamental policy that can be changed by each Fund upon 60 days’ prior notice to shareholders. Each of the Inverse S&P 500® 2x Strategy Fund’s, Inverse NASDAQ-100® 2x Strategy Fund’s, Inverse Dow 2x Strategy Fund’s, and Inverse Russell 2000® 2x Strategy Fund’s investment policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in financial instruments with economic characteristics that should perform inversely to the securities of companies in its underlying index is a non-fundamental policy that can be changed by each Fund upon 60 days’ prior notice to shareholders. For purposes of
102 | PROSPECTUS

determining compliance with a Fund's 80% investment policy (an “80% investment policy”) adopted pursuant to Rule 35d-1 under the 1940 Act, a Fund will value any derivatives instrument or physical short position using calculation required by the applicable 1940 Act regulation. Derivatives instruments used by the Fund will be counted toward the Fund’s 80% investment policy to the extent they provide investment exposure to investments included within that policy or to one or more of the market risk factors associated with investments included in that policy.
For purposes of determining a Fund’s compliance with the Fund’s 80% investment policy, the Fund may, to the extent permitted by its investment strategies, seek to obtain exposure to investments consistent with the investment focus that the Fund’s name suggests, through a variety of investment vehicles, principally closed-end funds, ETFs and other mutual funds, where the identity of those underlying portfolio securities can be reasonably determined or where the Fund has an 80% investment policy to invest in investments consistent with the investment focus that the Fund’s name suggests. In such cases, the Fund may look through to the underlying holdings of investment companies in which the Fund invests or may include the entire value of the Fund’s investment in other appropriate investment companies without looking through to the holdings of such investment companies. As with any investment, there can be no guarantee a Fund will achieve its investment objective.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
In managing the Funds, the Advisor uses a “passive” investment strategy to manage each Fund’s portfolio, meaning that the Advisor does not attempt to select securities based on their individual potential to perform better than the market. The Advisor’s primary objective for the Funds is to match the performance of each Fund’s benchmark as closely as possible on a daily basis. The Advisor uses quantitative analysis techniques to structure each Fund to obtain the highest correlation to its particular benchmark. The Advisor does not engage in temporary defensive investing and seeks to keep each Fund’s assets fully invested in all market environments. The Advisor monitors each Fund on an ongoing basis, and makes adjustments to its portfolio, as necessary, to minimize tracking error and to maximize liquidity.
The Advisor pursues the Funds’ investment objectives by regularly utilizing leveraged instruments, such as futures contracts and options on securities, futures contracts, and securities indices. In addition, the Advisor will regularly utilize short selling techniques designed to help the performance to inversely correlate to 200% of the performance of the relevant underlying index for the Inverse S&P 500® 2x Strategy Fund, Inverse NASDAQ-100® 2x Strategy Fund, Inverse Dow 2x Strategy Fund, and Inverse Russell 2000® 2x Strategy Fund.
The Funds may be appropriate for investors who believe that over the long-term, the value of the Funds' respective underlying indexes will increase or decrease, and that by investing with the objective of doubling (for each of the Leveraged Funds) or doubling the inverse of (for each of the Leveraged Inverse Funds) the index’s daily return the Funds will achieve superior results over time. Investors should understand that, because each Fund seeks a multiple of or multiple of the inverse of the daily performance of its underlying index, the Funds are expected to experience greater daily volatility than conventional index funds. For example, if a Fund seeks to double the daily performance of the index underlying its benchmark, it should have twice the daily volatility of a conventional index fund. This increases the potential risk of loss. Due to the effects of compounding and leverage, in periods of increased market volatility, it is possible a Fund may sustain investment losses when the performance of the Fund's underlying index is flat and even when the benchmark's performance is improving.
The Funds are not suitable for all investors. The Funds are designed to be utilized only by sophisticated investors, such as traders and active investors employing dynamic strategies. Investors in the Funds should: (a) understand the risks associated with the use of leverage, (b) understand the consequences of seeking daily leveraged investment results, (c) for the Inverse Leveraged Funds, understand the risks of shorting, and (d) intend to actively monitor and manage their investments. Investors who do not understand the Funds or do not actively manage and monitor their investments should not buy shares of the Funds. An investment in a Fund is not a complete investment program.
Securities Lending. The Funds participate in a securities lending program (the “Securities Lending Program”) offered by The Bank of New York Mellon (‘‘Bank of New York’’) pursuant to the terms of a securities lending agreement entered into between the Trust and Bank of New York. Securities lending involves the risk that a Fund may lose money because the borrower of the Fund’s loaned securities fails to return the securities in a timely manner or at all. As a result, a Fund could lose money if it experiences a delay in recovering the loaned securities or if it is ultimately unable to recover the securities. Although each Fund receives collateral (often in the form of repurchase agreements) based on the value of the loaned securities and indemnifications from its lending agent, a Fund could still lose money if the value of the collateral declines, including the value of any investments made with
PROSPECTUS | 103

cash collateral, or if the lending agent fails to perform its obligations under its lending agreement with the Fund. A Fund’s securities lending activities could also trigger adverse tax consequences for the Fund and affect the amount, timing and character of distributions to shareholders. For example, if a Fund loans its securities, the Fund and its investors may lose the ability to treat certain Fund distributions associated with those activities as qualified dividend income.
Cash Sweep Arrangement. Each Fund expects to participate in a cash sweep program where all or a portion of the Fund’s uninvested cash balance is used to purchase shares of affiliated or unaffiliated money market funds or cash management pooled investment vehicles at the end of each day. Currently, each Fund expects to invest all or a portion of its uninvested cash balance in a “government money market fund” as defined by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. A Fund’s participation in a cash sweep program subjects the Fund to the risks associated with the underlying money market funds or cash management pooled investment vehicles. These risks may include, among others, the impact of significant fluctuations in assets as a result of the cash sweep program or purchase and redemption activity by affiliated or non-affiliated shareholders in such other funds or pooled investment vehicles. As a shareholder of a money market fund or cash management pooled investment vehicle, a Fund would indirectly bear the fees and expenses of the underlying fund or pooled investment vehicle which are in addition to the fees the Fund pays its service providers.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING FUNDS THAT SEEK LEVERAGED AND INVERSE INVESTMENT RESULTS
The S&P 500® 2x Strategy Fund, NASDAQ-100® 2x Strategy Fund, Dow 2x Strategy Fund, and Russell 2000® 2x Strategy Fund (each, a “Leveraged Fund” and collectively, the “Leveraged Funds”) seek daily leveraged investment results. The Inverse S&P 500® 2x Strategy Fund, Inverse NASDAQ-100® 2x Strategy Fund, Inverse Dow 2x Strategy Fund, and Inverse Russell 2000® 2x Strategy Fund (each a “Leveraged Inverse Fund” and collectively, the “Leveraged Inverse Funds”) seek to provide leveraged investment results that match the inverse of the performance of a specific benchmark on a daily basis. The Leveraged Funds and the Leveraged Inverse Funds may be referred to collectively as the “Funds.”
As discussed in each Fund’s Summary section, the Funds’ performance is subject to the effects of compounding and leverage, which are discussed in more detail below.
UNDERSTANDING COMPOUNDING & THE EFFECT OF LEVERAGE
It is important to understand the effects of compounding when investing in any mutual fund, especially funds that use leverage as part of their investment strategy. The effect of leverage on a fund that rebalances on a daily basis will generally cause the fund’s performance to not match the performance of the fund’s benchmark over a period of time greater than one day. As a result, the use of leverage could cause the performance of a fund to be less than or greater than the performance of the index underlying the fund’s benchmark multiplied by the amount of leverage employed, before accounting for fees and expenses. The following simple examples provide an illustration:
Example A: Assume you invest $100 in Fund A, a typical index fund that seeks to match the performance of its underlying index. If the index increases 10% on day one, the value of your shares in Fund A would be expected to increase $10 (10% of $100) to $110. The next day, if the index decreases 10%, the value of your shares in Fund A would be expected to decrease $11 (10% of $110) to $99.
Example B: Assume you invested $100 in Fund B, a fund that seeks to return 200% of the performance of its underlying index. If the index increases 10% on day one, the value of your shares in Fund B would be expected to increase $20 (20% of $100) to $120. The next day, if the index decreases 10%, the value of your shares in Fund B would be expected to decrease $24 (20% of $120) to $96.
Because of the effect of compounding, in each case the value of your investment declined even though the index went up 10% on day one and down 10% on day two. However, the effect of compounding was more pronounced when combined with leverage (Example B).
The examples demonstrate that over time, the cumulative percentage increase or decrease in the NAV of a fund may diverge significantly from the cumulative percentage increase or decrease in the multiple of the return of the index underlying a fund’s benchmark due to the compounding effect of losses and gains on the returns of the fund. It also is expected that a fund’s use of consistently applied leverage will cause the fund to underperform the compounded return of twice its benchmark in a trendless or flat market.
104 | PROSPECTUS

The following graphs further illustrate the effect of leverage on fund performance in comparison to the performance of the fund’s underlying index in three different markets. Each of the three graphs shows a simulated hypothetical of the one-year performance of an index compared with the performance of a fund that perfectly achieves its investment objective of exactly twice (200%) the daily index returns.
In order to isolate the effect of leverage, the hypothetical graphs assume: (i) no tracking error (see “Tracking Error Risk” under “Descriptions of Principal Risks”); (ii) no dividends paid by the companies included in the underlying index; (iii) no expenses; and (iv) borrowing and/or lending rates (required to obtain leverage) of zero percent. If tracking error, fund expenses, and borrowing and lending rates of greater than zero percent were included in the graphs, the fund’s performance would be lower than that shown below. Each of the graphs also assumes an index volatility of 20%. An index’s volatility is a statistical measure of the magnitude of the fluctuations in the returns of an index. For example, the annualized historical volatility rate for the five-year period ended June 30, 2026 of the S&P 500® Index is 15.85%. The S&P 500® Index’s volatility may be more or less significant at any given time. The indices underlying the Funds’ benchmarks have different historical volatilities, which may be more or less significant than the index volatilities assumed in the graphs below. The annualized historical volatility rate for the five-year period ended June 30, 2026 of the other indices underlying the Funds’ benchmarks is as follows: Dow Jones Industrial Average® 14.98%; NASDAQ-100 Index® 20.74%; and Russell 2000® Index 20.75%. The hypothetical graphs are meant to demonstrate the effects of leverage only and are in no way indicative of the actual performance of any of the Funds.

MARKET VOLATILITY
Each Fund seeks to provide a return that is a multiple of the daily performance of its underlying index. No Fund attempts to, and no Fund should be expected to, provide returns that are a multiple of the return of the underlying index for periods other than a single day. Each Fund rebalances its portfolio on a daily basis, increasing exposure in response to that day’s gains or reducing exposure in response to that day’s losses. Investors should understand the consequences of holding daily rebalanced funds for periods longer than a single day and should actively manage and monitor their investments, as frequently as daily.
Daily rebalancing will impair a Fund’s performance if the benchmark experiences volatility. For instance, a hypothetical 2x daily leveraged fund would be expected to lose -3.9% (as shown in Table 1 below) if its benchmark provided no return over a one-year period during which its benchmark experienced annualized volatility of 20%. If the benchmark’s annualized volatility were to rise to 40%, the hypothetical loss for a one-year period for a 2x daily leveraged fund widens to approximately -14.8% while the loss for a 2x inverse fund rises to -38.0%. At higher
106 | PROSPECTUS

ranges of volatility, there is a chance of a near complete loss of fund value even if the benchmark is flat. For instance, if annualized volatility of the benchmark is 90%, a 2x leveraged inverse fund targeted to the same benchmark would be expected to lose more than 90% of its value even if the cumulative benchmark return for the year was 0%. An index’s volatility rate is a statistical measure of the magnitude of fluctuations in the returns of an index.

Table 1 shows the hypothetical loss for a one-year period, assuming the above annualized volatility range for a hypothetical benchmark that provided no return over the one-year period. The hypothetical loss was determined based upon 100,000 simulations performed with randomly generated daily returns normally distributed around 0%. The return values shown represent the mean leveraged final return for all samples with an unleveraged final return between -1% and +1%.
Table 2 shows the range of annualized volatility for the indices to which the Funds are benchmarked for the five-year period ended June 30, 2026. The indices to which the Funds are benchmarked have historical volatility rates over that period ranging from 14.98% to 20.75%. Since market volatility has negative implications for funds that rebalance daily, investors should be sure to monitor and manage their investments in the Funds in volatile markets. The negative implications of volatility in Table 1 can be combined with the recent volatility ranges of various indices in Table 2 to give investors some sense of the risks of holding the Funds for long periods. These tables are intended to simply underscore the fact that the Funds are designed for investors who (a) understand the risks associated with the use of leverage, (b) understand the consequences of seeking daily leveraged investment results, (c) understand the risks of shorting and (d) intend to actively monitor and manage their investments. They are not intended to be used by, and are not appropriate for, investors who do not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios.

A PRECAUTIONARY NOTE TO INVESTORS REGARDING DRAMATIC INDEX MOVEMENT
Each Leveraged Fund seeks daily exposure to its underlying index equal to 200% of its net assets while each Leveraged Inverse Fund seeks daily exposure to its underlying index equal to -200% of its net assets. As a consequence, for each Leveraged Fund, the risk of total loss of your investment exists in the event of a decline in the value of the underlying index of a Leveraged Fund and for each Leveraged Inverse Fund the risk of total loss exists in the event of a gain in the value of the underlying index of a Leveraged Inverse Fund. Due to the effects of
PROSPECTUS | 107

compounding and leverage, in periods of increased market volatility, it also is possible that a Fund may sustain investment losses when the performance of its underlying index is flat and even when the benchmark's performance is improving. In short, the risk of total loss of your investment exists.
THE PROJECTED RETURNS OF LEVERAGED FUNDS FOR SHARES HELD LONGER THAN A FULL TRADING DAY
The Funds seek daily leveraged investment results, which should not be equated with seeking a leveraged goal for longer than a day. For instance, if a Leveraged Fund’s underlying index gains 10% for a week, the Leveraged Fund’s shares should not be expected to provide a return of 20% for the week even if it meets its daily target throughout the week. This is true because of the fund expenses set forth in the prospectus, but also because the pursuit of daily goals may result in daily leveraged compounding, which means that the return of an index over a period of time greater than one day multiplied by a Leveraged Fund’s or Leveraged Inverse Fund’s daily target or inverse daily target (e.g., 200% or -200%) will not generally equal a Leveraged Fund’s or Leveraged Inverse Fund’s performance over that same period.
The following charts set out a range of hypothetical daily performances during a given 10 trading days of an index and demonstrate how changes in the index affect a Leveraged Fund’s and Leveraged Inverse Fund’s performance for a trading day and cumulatively up to, and including, the entire 10-trading day period. The charts are based on a hypothetical $100 investment in a Leveraged Fund and Leveraged Inverse Fund over a 10-trading day period and do not reflect expenses of any kind.

The cumulative performance of the index in Table 1 is 0% for 10 trading days. The hypothetical return of the Leveraged Fund for the 10-trading day period is -6.11%, while the hypothetical return of the Leveraged Inverse Fund is -19.45%. The volatility of the benchmark performance and lack of clear trend results in performance for each Leveraged Fund and Leveraged Inverse Fund for the period which bears little relationship to the performance of the Funds’ underlying index for the 10-trading day period.

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 Funds’ SAI. An investment or type of security only identified in the SAI typically is treated as a non-principal investment. Additional information about the principal risks and certain non-principal risks of the Funds is set forth below. The risks are listed in alphabetical order, not in the order of importance or potential exposure, and not
PROSPECTUS | 109

all of the risks are principal risks for each Fund. The relative significance of each risk may change over time and you should review each risk carefully because any one or more of these risks may result in losses to a Fund. The fact that a particular risk is not indicated as a principal risk for a Fund does not mean that the Fund is prohibited from investing its assets in securities or investments that give rise to that risk. It simply means that the risk is not a principal risk for that Fund. An investment in a Fund does not constitute a complete investment program.
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 adviser can be replaced, and an investment sub-adviser can be appointed to manage a Fund.
Investors should be aware that economies and financial markets throughout the world have in recent periods experienced varying degrees of increased uncertainty and volatility because of, among other factors, geopolitical tensions, labor and public health conditions around the world, inflation, tariffs, and changing interest rates. To the extent these or similar conditions continue or recur in the future, the risks described below could be heightened significantly and a Fund’s investments and a shareholder’s investment in a Fund may be subject to reduced yield and/or income and sudden and substantial losses. The fact that a particular risk is not specifically identified as a heightened risk under current conditions does not mean that the risk is not greater than under normal conditions.
Capitalization Securities Risk—The 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, the Fund may be subject to the risk that the predominate capitalization range represented in the Fund’s portfolio or underlying index may underperform other segments of the equity market or the equity market as a whole. If the Fund has net short exposure to the components in its portfolio or underlying index, it is subject to the risk that the predominate capitalization range represented in its portfolio or underlying index may outperform 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. The 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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Risk—When all or a portion of the Fund’s assets are allocated to cash or cash equivalents, the Fund’s potential for gain during a market upswing may be limited or the Fund may not participate in the market upswing and there is a possibility that the Fund will be unable to keep pace with inflation. Cash equivalents include, among other things, shares in money market funds that invest in short-term, high-quality instruments, the value of which generally are tied to changes in interest rates. Cash equivalents are not guaranteed as to principal or interest, and the Fund could lose money through these investments.
Compounding Risk—In addition to the correlation risks described under “Correlation Risk”, the Fund’s returns are subject to the effects of compounding, which generally will cause the Fund’s performance to not correlate to the performance of the Fund’s benchmark over periods greater than a single day, before accounting for fees and fund expenses. Compounded returns are the result of reinvesting daily returns over periods greater than a single day. The Fund’s compounded returns for periods greater than a single day will be different than the performance of the benchmark over the same period. The effects of compounding on the performance of the Fund will be more pronounced when the underlying index experiences increased volatility, the greater the leverage employed in the Fund, and over longer holding periods.
Compounding affects the performance of all investments over time but has a more significant effect on a leveraged index fund because the magnified changes in performance produced by the use of leverage lead to greater increases and decreases in the fund’s daily returns which are then compounded over time. The effects of compounding, therefore, have a more significant effect on the Fund because it seeks to match a multiple or inverse multiple, as applicable, of the performance of the Fund’s underlying index or reference asset on a daily basis.
110 | PROSPECTUS

Correlation Risk—A number of factors may affect the Fund’s ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with its benchmark, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. A number of factors may adversely affect the Fund’s correlation with its benchmark, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, costs and risks associated with the use of leveraged investment techniques, income items, accounting standards and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests. The Fund may not have investment exposure to all of the securities in its underlying index or the Fund’s weighting of investment exposure to such securities or industries may be different from that of its underlying index. In addition, the Fund may invest in securities or financial instruments not included in its underlying index. The Fund may be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or under-exposed to its benchmark. Activities surrounding annual index reconstitutions and other index rebalancing or reconstitution events carried out on a particular day or day(s) also may hinder the Fund’s ability to meet its daily investment objective on that day.
Counterparty Credit Risk—Counterparty risk is the risk that a counterparty to Fund transactions (e.g., prime brokerage or securities lending arrangements or derivatives transactions) will be unable or unwilling to perform its contractual obligation to the Fund. The Fund may invest in financial instruments and derivatives 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. The 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 and related arrangements (e.g., prime brokerage or securities lending arrangements or derivatives transactions), the Fund is exposed to credit risks that the counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments or otherwise meet its contractual obligations. If the counterparty becomes bankrupt or defaults on (or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling to perform) its payment or other 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 or other assets held by, or on behalf of, the counterparty. If this occurs, or if exercising contractual rights involves delays or costs for the Fund, the value of your shares in the Fund may decrease. Such risk is heightened in market environments where interest rates are rising.
The 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 of the counterparties' other trading partners or borrowers.
Cyber Security, Market Disruptions and Operational Risk—As in other parts of the economy, the Fund and its service providers, as well as exchanges and market participants through or with which the Fund trades and other infrastructures and services on which the Fund or its service providers rely, are susceptible to ongoing risks related to cyber incidents and the risks associated with financial, economic, public health, labor and other global market developments and disruptions. Cyber incidents, which can be perpetrated by a variety of means, including ransomware attacks, may result in actual or potential adverse consequences for critical information and communications technology, systems and networks that are vital to the operations of the Fund or its service providers. Geopolitical tensions may, from time to time, increase the scale and sophistication of cyber incidents and other disruptions. Technological developments such as the use of cloud-based service providers and/or services and the integration of artificial intelligence in systems and operations create new risks that are difficult to assess and anticipate. For example, the Fund’s service providers and market participants on which the Fund relies may use artificial intelligence (such as machine learning, generative artificial intelligence or blockchain technology) and similar technologies in the provision of services to the Fund and its operations generally. Such use may subject these service providers and market participants and, in turn, their services and operations to increased risks associated with such technologies, including risk of errors, cybersecurity, data protection and information technology risk, operational risk, and legal, regulatory and compliance risk. In addition, any controls in place designed to mitigate such risks may be ineffective and the use of these technologies may change over time, which may present new risks and vulnerabilities. As a result, the Fund may experience adverse consequences, such as operational errors, from such use of artificial intelligence and similar technologies.
A cyber incident or sudden market, operational, technological (including widespread system outages or faulty updates to software applications) or other disruption could adversely impact the Fund, its service providers or its shareholders by, among other things, interfering with the processing of shareholder transactions or other operational functionality, impacting the Fund’s ability to calculate its NAV or other data, causing the release of private or confidential information, impeding trading, causing reputational damage, and subjecting the Fund to fines, penalties
PROSPECTUS | 111

or financial losses or otherwise adversely affecting the operations, systems and activities of the Fund, its service providers and market intermediaries. These types of adverse consequences also could result from other operational disruptions or failures arising from, for example, processing errors, human errors, and other technological issues. In each case, the Fund’s ability to calculate its NAV correctly, in a timely manner or process trades or Fund or shareholder transactions may be adversely affected, including over a potentially extended period. The Fund and its service providers may directly bear these risks and related costs. In addition, the use of work-from-home arrangements or the use of contingency plans by the Fund, the Advisor (or their service providers) could increase all of the above risks, create additional data and information accessibility concerns, and make the Fund, the Advisor (or their service providers) more susceptible to operational disruptions, any of which could adversely impact their operations. Furthermore, the Fund may be an appealing target for cybersecurity threats such as hackers and malware.
Depositary Receipt Risk—The 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”), American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”) and International Depositary Receipts (“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. The 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 the 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 the 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 the Fund. Depositary receipts are generally subject to the same risks as the foreign securities that they evidence or into which they may be converted. The 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—The 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 the Fund’s portfolio; to seek to manage certain investment risks; as a substitute for the purchase or sale of securities or currencies; and/or to obtain or replicate market exposure. The use of such derivatives exposes the Fund to risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in the instruments underlying those derivatives, including risks relating to leverage, market conditions and market risk, imperfect correlation (imperfect correlations with underlying instruments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings), high price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty credit, illiquidity, valuation, operational and legal restrictions and risk. The use of such derivatives also may expose the Fund to the performance of securities that the Fund does not own. To the extent the Fund engages in derivatives in an attempt to hedge certain exposures or risks, there can be no assurance that the Fund’s hedging investments or transactions will be effective. In addition, hedging investments or transactions involve costs and may reduce gains or result in losses, which may adversely affect the Fund. 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. Changes in value of a derivative also may create sudden margin delivery or settlement payment obligations for the Fund, which can materially affect the performance of the Fund and its liquidity and other risk profiles. The skills necessary to successfully execute derivatives strategies may be different from those for more traditional portfolio management techniques, and if the Advisor is incorrect about its expectations of market conditions, the use of derivatives also could result in a loss,
112 | PROSPECTUS

which in some cases may be unlimited. Use of derivatives also may cause the Fund to be subject to additional regulations, which may generate additional Fund expenses. These practices also entail transactional expenses and may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of short-term capital gains than if the Fund had not engaged in such transactions. The markets for certain derivatives, including those located in certain foreign countries, are relatively new and still developing, which may expose the Fund to increased counterparty credit and liquidity risks.
Certain of the derivatives in which the Fund invests are traded (and privately negotiated) in the OTC market. OTC derivatives are complex and often valued subjectively, which exposes the Fund to heightened credit, legal, liquidity, mispricing and valuation risks. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to the Fund. In addition, OTC derivative instruments are often highly customized and tailored to meet the needs of the Fund and its 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. Similar to other privately negotiated contracts, the Fund is subject to counterparty credit risk with respect to such derivative contracts. Certain derivatives are subject to mandatory exchange trading and/or clearing, which exposes the Fund to the credit risk of the clearing broker or clearinghouse. While exchange trading and central clearing are intended to reduce counterparty credit risk and to increase liquidity, they do not make derivatives transactions risk-free. Certain risks also are specific to the derivatives in which the Fund invests.
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, for certain standardized swaps subject to mandatory central clearing, must be traded on a designated contract market or swap execution facility. 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. The 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. The Fund may utilize swap agreements in an attempt to gain exposure to certain securities without purchasing those securities to speculate on the movement of such securities or to hedge a position. Risks associated with the use of swap agreements are different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions, largely 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 and could result in substantial losses to the Fund. In addition, the Fund may pay fees or incur costs each time it enters into, amends or terminates a swap agreement.
As noted above, certain standardized swaps are subject to mandatory exchange trading and central clearing. While exchange trading and central clearing are intended to reduce counterparty credit risk and increase liquidity, they do not make swap transactions risk-free. Margin requirements, including minimums, on OTC swaps, which may result in the Fund and its counterparties posting higher margin amounts for OTC swaps, could increase the cost of swap transactions to the Fund and impose added operational complexity. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and related regulatory developments require the clearing and exchange-trading of many OTC derivative instruments that the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”) and the SEC have defined as “swaps.” In addition, CFTC position limits rules could limit the ability of the Fund to place certain trades. It is possible that positions held by the Fund may have to be liquidated in order to avoid exceeding such limits. These limitations could adversely affect the operations and performance of the Fund.
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 (i.e., payment of the gain or loss on the contract). Futures are often used to manage or hedge risk because they enable an investor to buy or sell an asset in the future at an agreed-upon price. Futures also are used 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 or other instruments; and to adjust portfolio duration. Futures are subject to correlation risk. In addition, there is the risk that the 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 the Fund’s NAV. Exchanges can limit the number of futures and options that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Advisor, thus limiting the ability to implement the Fund’s strategies. Futures also are subject to leveraging risk and can be subject to liquidity risk. The Fund may invest in standard futures contracts, e-mini futures contracts, and micro e-mini futures contracts
PROSPECTUS | 113

depending on the investment exposure needs of the Fund. E-mini futures contracts and micro e-mini futures contracts are similar to standard futures contracts, except that they are electronically traded and e-mini futures contracts generally are one-fifth the size of standard futures contracts and micro e-mini futures contracts generally are one-tenth the size of e-mini futures contracts.
Options 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 an investor to buy or sell an asset in the future at an agreed-upon price. Options also are used 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 or other instruments; and to adjust portfolio duration.
Options are subject to correlation risk. The writing and purchasing of options is a highly specialized activity as the successful use of options depends on the Advisor’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 positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Advisor, thus limiting the ability to implement the Fund's strategies. Options also are particularly subject to leverage risk and can be subject to liquidity risk. Because option premiums paid or received by the Fund are small in relation to the market value of the investments underlying the options, the Fund is exposed to the risk that buying and selling put and call options can be more speculative than investing directly in securities.
Written call options may be “covered” (i.e., the Fund as the seller owns or otherwise has or has an absolute and immediate right to acquire that security or instrument without additional cash consideration) or “uncovered” (i.e., the Fund as the seller does not have such exposure). Uncovered call writing can involve substantially greater exposure to risk than covered call writing, and the potential loss of uncovered call writing is unlimited.
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, 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 certain 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.
Early Closing Risk—The normal close of trading of securities listed on NASDAQ and the NYSE is 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time. Unanticipated early closings of securities exchanges and other financial markets, such as in response to certain trading halts triggered by circuit breakers, may result in the Fund’s inability to buy or sell securities or other financial instruments on that day. If an exchange or market closes early on a day when the Fund needs to execute a high volume of trades late in a trading day, the Fund might incur substantial trading losses.
Equity Securities Risk—The 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 or other conditions. Equity securities have sometimes experienced heightened volatility over recent periods and therefore, the Fund’s investments in equity securities are subject to heightened risks related to volatility. 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 the Fund fall, the value of your investment in the Fund will be adversely affected. The Fund may lose a substantial part, or even all, of its investment in a company’s stock.

Foreign Issuer Exposure Risk—The Fund may invest in securities of foreign companies directly, or in financial instruments, such as ADRs and ETFs, that are indirectly linked to the performance of foreign issuers. Investing in foreign investments, including investing in foreign securities through ADRs and ETFs, involves certain special, additional and heightened risks that may result in losses to the Fund, including, but not limited to: (i) unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates; (ii) unfavorable changes in applicable law and regulations; (iii) adverse political (including geopolitical), social and economic developments; (iv) unreliable, untimely or less publicly available information and less transparency; (v) limited legal recourse; (vi) limited markets; (vii) higher operational expenses and increased transaction, custody and other costs; and (viii) illiquidity and increased volatility. These investments are subject to additional risks, including, but not limited to: differing reporting, accounting, and auditing standards; less investor protections and increased custody risk; nationalization, expropriations, or confiscations and other forms of government intervention, or confiscatory or additional taxation; delayed or infrequent settlement of transactions; foreign currency fluctuations, currency blockage, or replacement; potential for default on sovereign debt; local, regional and global economic volatility and market conditions; political, economic or social instability; or other diplomatic or geopoltical developments, which may include the threat or actual imposition of economic or trade sanctions, restrictions, tariffs or other measures by the U.S. or other governments and supranational organizations, changes in trade policies, or conflicts that may render holdings illiquid or even worthless.
When the United States is a significant trading partner of a foreign country in which the Fund may invest or to which the Fund may be exposed, such foreign country may be particularly sensitive to changes in U.S. foreign trading policies, including the threat or actual imposition of tariffs, sanctions or other similar measures. These risks are heightened in market conditions where global tension is rising and may even be higher in underdeveloped, emerging or frontier markets. The less developed a country’s securities market is, the greater the level of risks. The U.S. government may renegotiate some of its global trade relationships with foreign governments and may impose or threaten to impose significant tariffs. The threat or actual imposition of tariffs, trade restrictions, currency restrictions or similar actions (or retaliatory measures taken in response to such actions) could lead to price volatility and overall declines in the U.S. and global investment markets. The 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. The Fund will also be exposed to the risks associated with investing in foreign investments to the extent that the Fund invests in issuers with significant exposure (e.g., operations and businesses) to foreign countries and markets.
Economic sanctions or other similar measures may be, and have been, imposed against certain countries, organizations, companies, entities and/or individuals. Economic sanctions and other similar governmental actions or developments could, among other things, effectively restrict or eliminate the Fund’s ability to purchase or sell certain foreign securities or groups of foreign securities, and thus may make the Fund’s investments in such securities less liquid, less valuable or more difficult to value, or worthless. In addition, as a result of economic sanctions and other similar governmental actions or developments, the Fund may be forced to sell or otherwise dispose of foreign investments at inopportune times or prices. The type and severity of sanctions and other similar measures, including counter sanctions and other retaliatory actions, that have been enacted against Russia and other countries and that may be imposed in the future could vary broadly in scope, and their impact is difficult to accurately predict. For example, the threat or actual imposition of sanctions and other similar measures likely would, among other things, cause a decline in the value and/or liquidity of securities issued by the sanctioned country or companies located in or economically tied to the sanctioned country and increase market volatility and disruption in the sanctioned country and throughout the world. Sanctions and other similar measures could significantly delay or prevent the settlement of securities transactions or their valuation, and significantly impact the Fund’s liquidity and performance. Sanctions and other similar measures may be in place for a substantial period of time and enacted with limited advance notice.
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 and may pay income in foreign currencies. As a result, their values may be adversely affected by changes in the exchange rates between particular foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar (or another foreign currency) or by unfavorable currency regulations or restrictions on foreign exchange transactions imposed by foreign governments. If the Fund invests in securities issued by foreign issuers, the Fund may be subject to these risks even if the investment is denominated in U.S. dollars. This risk may be heightened with respect to issuers whose revenues are principally earned in a foreign currency but whose debt obligations have been issued in U.S. dollars or other hard currencies. Furthermore, the Fund may lose money due to losses and/or expenses incurred in converting various currencies to purchase and sell securities valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, as well as from currency restrictions, exchange control regulation and/or governmental restrictions that limit or otherwise
PROSPECTUS | 115

delay the Fund’s ability to convert currencies. Foreign investments may, as is the case with the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, be subject to the risks of seizure or other involvement by a foreign government, imposition of restrictions on the exchange or transport of foreign currency, and tax increases.
In addition, there may be less publicly available financial and other information 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 the 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 the Fund may at times be unable to sell its foreign investments at desirable prices. For the same reason, the 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 the Fund.
Increasing Government and Other Public Debt Risk—Government and other public debt can be adversely affected by large and sudden changes in local and global economic conditions that result in increased debt levels. Although high levels of government and other public debt do not necessarily indicate or cause economic problems, high levels of debt may create certain systemic risks if sound debt management practices are not implemented. A high debt level may increase market pressures to meet an issuer’s funding needs, which may increase borrowing costs and cause a government or public or municipal entity to issue additional debt, thereby increasing the risk of refinancing. A high debt level also raises concerns that the issuer may be unable or unwilling to repay the principal or interest on its debt, which may adversely impact instruments held by the Fund that rely on such payments. Extraordinary governmental and quasi-governmental responses to the economic, market, labor and public health conditions and U.S. and other government policies designed to support the markets may, at times, significantly increase government and other public debt, which heighten these risks and the long term consequences of these actions are not known. Unsustainable debt levels can decline the valuation of currencies, and can prevent a government from implementing effective counter-cyclical fiscal policy during economic downturns or lead to an increase in inflation or generate or contribute to an economic downturn. The foregoing developments and the associated risks can adversely impact a broad range of instruments and assets in which the Fund invests, including those that are not directly related to governmental or municipal issuers, and thus affect Fund performance and risks. Fiscal policies, government spending and deficit reduction plans may adversely affect U.S. and global economies and markets.
Industry Concentration Risk—The Fund may concentrate (i.e., invest more than 25% of its net assets) its investments in a limited number of issuers conducting business in the same industry or group of related industries. As a result, the Fund is more vulnerable to adverse market, economic, regulatory, political or other developments affecting such industry or group of industries than a fund that invests its assets more broadly. Such industry-based risks, any of which may adversely affect the Fund may include, but are not limited to, the following: general economic conditions or cyclical market patterns that could negatively affect supply and demand in a particular industry; competition for resources, adverse labor relations, political or world events; obsolescence of technologies; increased competition or new product introductions that may affect the profitability or viability of companies in an industry; legislative or regulatory changes; and increased government supervision. In addition, at times, an industry may be out of favor and underperform other industries or the market as a whole. For information about the industries to which the Fund has concentrated exposure, please see the Fund’s Summary section.
Interest Rate Risk—Fixed income and other debt instruments are subject to the possibility that interest rates could change (or are expected to change). Changes in interest rates (or the expectation of such changes) can be sudden and difficult to forecast and may adversely affect the Fund’s investments in these instruments, such as the value or liquidity of, and income generated by, the investments or increase risks associated with such investments, such as credit or default risks. Short-term and long-term interest rates do not necessarily move in the same amount or in the same direction. The impact of interest rate changes on fixed-income and other debt instruments depends on several factors, notably the instrument’s duration. 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. The value of a debt instrument with a longer duration will generally be more sensitive to interest rate changes than a similar instrument with a shorter duration. Similarly, the longer the average duration (whether
116 | PROSPECTUS

positive or negative) of these instruments held by the Fund or to which the Fund is exposed (i.e., the longer the average portfolio duration of the Fund), the more the Fund’s share price will likely fluctuate in response to interest rate changes. 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.
However, measures such as duration may not accurately reflect the true interest rate sensitivity of instruments held by the Fund and, in turn, the Fund’s susceptibility to changes in interest rates. Certain fixed income and debt instruments are subject to the risk that the issuer may exercise its right to redeem (or call) the instrument earlier than anticipated. Although an issuer may call or a borrower may prepay an instrument for a variety of reasons, if an issuer does so during a time of declining interest rates, the Fund might have to reinvest the proceeds in an investment offering a lower yield or other less favorable features, and therefore might not benefit from any increase in value as a result of declining interest rates. Interest only or principal only securities and inverse floaters are particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates, which may impact the income generated by the security, its value, and other features of the security. The Fund may not be able to hedge against changes in interest rates or may choose not to do so for cost or other reasons. In addition, any hedges may not work as intended.
Instruments with variable or 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. Conversely, in a decreasing interest rate environment, these instruments will generally not increase in value and the Fund’s investment in instruments with floating interest rates may prevent the Fund from taking full advantage of decreasing interest rates in a timely manner. In addition, the income received from such instruments will likely be adversely affected by a decrease in interest rates.
Adjustable rate securities also react to interest rate changes in a similar manner as fixed-rate securities but generally to a lesser degree depending on the characteristics of the security, in particular its reset terms (i.e., the index chosen, frequency of reset and reset caps or floors). During periods of rising interest rates, because changes in interest rates on adjustable rate securities may lag behind changes in market rates, the value of such securities may decline until their interest rates reset to market rates. These securities also may be subject to limits on the maximum increase in interest rates. During periods of declining interest rates, because the interest rates on adjustable rate securities generally reset downward, their market value is unlikely to rise to the same extent as the value of comparable fixed rate securities. These securities may not be subject to limits on downward adjustments of interest rates.
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 the Fund’s investment in such securities and may prevent the Fund from receiving higher interest rates on proceeds reinvested in other instruments. Please refer to “Prepayment and Extension Risk” for additional information. During periods of falling interest rates, issuers of debt securities or asset-backed securities may pay off debts more quickly or earlier than expected, which could cause the Fund to be unable to recoup the full amount of its initial investment and/or cause the Fund to reinvest proceeds or matured, traded or called securities in lower-yielding securities, thereby reducing the Fund’s yield or otherwise adversely impacting the Fund. Please refer to “Prepayment and Extension Risk” below for additional information.
Certain debt instruments, such as instruments with a negative duration or inverse instruments, also are subject to interest rate risk, and may be adversely affected by changes in interest rates, although such instruments generally react differently to changes in interest rates than instruments with positive durations. For example, the values of instruments with negative durations, such as inverse floaters, generally decrease if interest rates decline. Certain fixed-income and debt instruments, including inverse floaters, interest only securities and principal only securities are especially sensitive to interest rate changes, which may affect the income flows these securities generate as well as their values. Certain of the Fund’s investments are subject to inflation risk. Please refer to “Inflation Risk” below for a summary of associated risks.
A wide variety of factors can cause interest rates or yields of fixed-income and other debt instruments to decline, including but not limited to central bank monetary policies, changing inflation or real growth rates, general economic conditions, increasing bond issuances or reduced market demand for low yielding investments. The U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Federal Reserve”) has decreased interest rates recently in response to moderated inflation rates. It is difficult to predict how long, and whether, the Federal Reserve’s current stance on interest rates will persist and the impact these actions will have on the economy and the Fund’s investments and the markets where the Fund trades. Such actions may have unforeseen consequences and materially affect economic and market conditions, the Fund’s
PROSPECTUS | 117

investments and the Fund’s performance. The Federal Reserve’s (and other central banks’) monetary policy is subject to change at any time and potentially frequently based on a variety of market and economic conditions. Actions by government and central banking authorities can result in increases or decreases in interest rates.
Changing Fixed Income Market Conditions—There is a risk that interest rates across the financial system may change, sometimes unpredictably or rapidly, as a result of a variety of factors, such as central bank monetary policies, inflation rates and general economic conditions. Historically high or low interest rates may magnify the Fund’s susceptibility to interest rate risk and diminish yield and performance (e.g., during periods of changing interest rates, issuers may be less willing or able to make principal and interest payments on debt securities or may make such payments earlier or later than anticipated; or during periods of very low or negative interest rates, the Fund may be unable to maintain positive returns).
Changes in fixed-income or related market conditions, including the potential for changes to interest rates, may expose fixed-income or related markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for Fund investments, which may be difficult to sell at favorable times or prices, causing the value of the Fund’s investments and NAV per share to decline. Changing interest rates (particularly a rise in general interest rates), also can result in increased redemptions from the Fund. Changing interest rates may also have unpredictable effects on securities markets in general, and may cause economic and financial instability, which would likely directly or indirectly impact the Fund’s investments, yield and performance. The impact on fixed income and debt instruments from interest rate changes, regardless of the cause, could be swift and significant, which could result in significant losses for the Fund.
Current Fixed Income and Debt Market Conditions—Fixed income and debt market conditions are highly unpredictable and some parts of the market are subject to dislocations. In response to the inflation rates in recent periods, governmental authorities have implemented significant fiscal and monetary policy changes, including changing interest rates. These actions present heightened risks, particularly to fixed-income and debt instruments, and such risks could be even further heightened if these actions are ineffective in achieving their desired outcomes or reversed. It is difficult to accurately predict changes in the Federal Reserve’s monetary policies and the effect of any such changes or policies. Certain economic conditions and market environments will expose fixed-income and debt instruments to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity, which can impact the Fund’s investments and may negatively impact the Fund’s characteristics, which in turn would impact performance or increase shareholder redemption.
Inflation Risk—Certain of the Fund’s investments are subject to inflation risk, which is the risk that the intrinsic value of assets or income from investments will be less in the future as inflation decreases the purchasing power and value of money (i.e., as inflation increases, the values of the Fund's assets can decline as can the value of the Fund’s distributions). Inflation rates may change frequently and significantly as a result of various factors, including unexpected shifts in the domestic or global economy and changes in monetary or economic policies (or expectations that these policies may change). Therefore, the income generated by debt securities may keep pace with inflation. The market price of fixed rate debt securities generally falls as inflation increases because the purchasing power of the future income and repaid principal is expected to be worth less when received by the Fund. The risk of inflation is greater for debt instruments with longer maturities and especially those that pay a fixed interest rate. Additionally, actions by governments and central banking authorities can result in changes in interest rates. Periods of higher inflation could cause such authorities to raise interest rates, and vice versa, which may adversely affect the Fund and its investments.
Certain of the Fund’s derivatives investments also may be adversely affected by changes in interest rates. For example, if the Fund is receiving a fixed rate payment stream, it will be adversely affected by rising interest rates and vice versa. In addition, rising interest rates may increase the costs associated with certain derivatives (e.g., interest paid for the use of margin proceeds) used to implement the Fund’s strategy. If the Fund invests in derivatives tied to fixed income or related markets, the Fund may be more substantially exposed to these risks than a fund that does not invest in such derivatives. To the extent the 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 the Fund’s portfolio also may be affected and the Fund could be required to sell holdings at disadvantageous times or prices in order to meet redemption obligations or other liquidity needs.
Investment in Investment Vehicles Risk—The Fund may purchase shares of investment companies, such as ETFs and other mutual funds, to gain exposure to a particular portion of the market while awaiting an opportunity to purchase securities directly or when such investments present a more cost-efficient alternative to investing directly in
118 | PROSPECTUS

securities. When the Fund invests in an investment company, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, it will bear a pro rata portion of the investment company’s expenses. Further, in part because of these additional expenses, the performance of an investment company may differ from the performance the Fund would achieve if it invested directly in the underlying investments of the investment company. While the risks of owning shares of an investment company generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying investments of the investment company, the Fund may be subject to additional or different risks than if the Fund had invested directly in the underlying investments. For example, shares of an ETF are traded at market prices, which may vary from the NAV of its underlying investments. Also, the lack of liquidity in an ETF can contribute to the increased volatility of its value in comparison to the value of the underlying portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may invest in investment companies or other pooled investment vehicles that are not registered pursuant to the 1940 Act and therefore, not subject to the regulatory scheme of the 1940 Act.
Exchange-Traded Fund (“ETF”) Risk—The Fund may invest in shares of ETFs in pursuit of its investment objective. ETFs are pooled investment vehicles, which may be managed or unmanaged, that generally seek to track the performance of a specific index. Although individual shares of an ETF are traded on an exchange (such as the NYSE or NASDAQ), large blocks of shares of ETFs are redeemable at NAV. This ability to redeem large blocks of shares has historically resulted in the market price of individual shares of ETFs being at or near the NAV of the ETF’s underlying investments. However, shares of ETFs may trade below their NAV. The NAV of shares will fluctuate with changes in the market value of the ETF’s holdings. The trading prices of shares will fluctuate in accordance with changes in NAV as well as market supply and demand. The difference between the bid price and ask price, commonly referred to as the “spread,” also will vary for an ETF depending on the ETF’s trading volume and market liquidity. Generally, the greater the trading volume and market liquidity, the smaller the spread is and vice versa. Any of these factors may lead to an ETF’s shares trading at a premium or a discount to NAV. The Fund, from time to time, may invest in exchange-traded investment funds that are not registered pursuant to the 1940 Act. Such exchange-traded investment funds may include commodity pools that are registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 and the Commodity Exchange Act.
Large-Capitalization Securities Risk—The Fund may be subject to the risk that large-capitalization securities may underperform, or outperform, if the Fund has net short exposure to large-capitalization securities, 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.
Leveraging Risk—The Fund achieves leveraged exposure to its underlying index through the use of derivative instruments. The more the Fund invests in derivative instruments that give rise to leverage, the more this leverage will magnify any losses on those investments. Leverage will cause the value of the Fund’s shares to be more volatile than if the Fund did not use leverage. This is because leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities or other investments. For example, because the Fund includes a multiplier (i.e., 2x or -2x), a single day adverse price movement of more than 50% in a relevant underlying index could result in the total loss of an investor’s investment. The use of leverage also may cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it would not be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations or to meet margin or collateral requirements. Certain types of leveraging transactions, such as short sales that are not “against the box,” could theoretically be subject to unlimited losses in cases where the Fund, for any reason, is unable to close out the transaction. In addition, to the extent the Fund borrows money, interest costs on such borrowed money may not be recovered by any appreciation of the securities purchased with the borrowed funds and could exceed the Fund’s investment income, resulting in greater losses. The value of the Fund’s shares will tend to increase or decrease more than the value of any increase or decrease in its underlying index due to the fact that the Fund’s investment strategies involve the use of leverage. Leverage also will have the effect of magnifying tracking error.
Liquidity and Valuation Risk—It may be difficult for the Fund to purchase and sell particular investments to meet redemption requests or otherwise within a reasonable time at a favorable price or at all. As a result, the Fund may be unable to achieve its desired level of exposure to certain issuers, asset classes or sectors. The Fund may be adversely affected by market illiquidity. Limited market making and capacity of market participants in certain securities and instruments and/or market dislocations, in particular for fixed-income and other debt instruments may increase liquidity risk. These factors may apply more to high yield and floating rate debt 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 leads to decreased liquidity and increased volatility in the financial markets. As a result, the Fund potentially may be unable to pay redemption
PROSPECTUS | 119

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. The Fund’s ability to sell an instrument under favorable conditions also may be negatively impacted by, among other things, a drop in overall market trading volume, an inability to find a willing buyer, other market participants selling the same or similar instruments at the same time or legal restrictions on the instrument’s resale. If the Fund is unable to sell an investment at its desired time, the Fund may also miss other investment opportunities while it holds investments it would prefer to sell, which could adversely affect the Fund’s performance. In addition, the liquidity of any Fund investment may change significantly or disappear over time as a result of market, economic, trading, issuer-specific and other factors. Liquid investments may become illiquid after purchase by the Fund, particularly during periods of market turmoil, adverse economic conditions or issuer-specific developments. There can be no assurance that a security or instrument that is deemed to be liquid when purchased will continue to be liquid for as long as it is held by the Fund. Dislocations in markets often result in reduced liquidity for investments. Liquidity of financial markets is also affected by government intervention and political, social, public health, economic or market developments (including rapid interest rate changes).
To the extent that there is not an established liquid market for instruments in which the Fund invests, or there is a reduced number or capacity of 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 the Fund’s portfolio, the ability of the Fund to assign an accurate daily value to these investments may be difficult and the Advisor 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 Fund’s fair valuation policy and procedures and the Advisor’s fair valuation policy and procedures will in fact approximate the price at which the 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 Fund (or the Advisor) rely on various sources of information to value investments and calculate NAV. The Fund 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 Fund’s ability to effectively value investments or calculate NAV may be adversely affected.
Investors who purchase or redeem shares of the 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. If the Fund holds a significant percentage of fair valued or otherwise difficult to value securities, the Fund may be particularly susceptible to the risks associated with valuation. For additional information about valuation determinations, see “Shareholder Information – Calculating Net Asset Value” and the Fund’s report on Form N-CSR. Proportions of the Fund’s investments that are fair valued or difficult to value vary from time to time. In addition, during periods of market stress, a large portion of the Fund’s assets could potentially experience significant levels of illiquidity. The Fund’s financial statements and notes thereto contain more information about the Fund’s holdings that are fair valued or difficult to value. Investors should consider consulting these reports for additional information. Liquidity and valuation risks are heightened in a changing interest rate environment, particularly for fixed-income and other debt instruments.
Market Risk—The value of, or income generated by, the investments held by the Fund are subject to the possibility of frequent, significant, rapid and/or unpredictable fluctuation and loss. These fluctuations may occur frequently and in large amounts. The value of certain asset classes (e.g., those traded on exchanges) tends to fluctuate more dramatically over the shorter term than the value of other asset classes. These movements may result from factors affecting (or that are perceived to affect) individual companies or issuers or particular industries, or from broader influences, including real or perceived changes in prevailing interest rates, changes in inflation rates or expectations about inflation rates, deflation, adverse investor confidence or sentiment, general outlook for corporate earnings, changing economic, political (including geopolitical), social or financial market conditions, bank failures, actual or threatened imposition of tariffs (which may be imposed by U.S. and foreign governments) and trade disruptions, recession, changes in currency and inflation rates, increased instability or general uncertainty, environmental or natural disasters, extreme weather or geological events, governmental actions, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), debt crises, terrorism, actual or threatened wars or other armed conflicts (such as the armed conflicts across the Middle East and ongoing Russia-Ukraine war in Europe, and the risk of expansion or collateral economic and other effects thereof) or ratings downgrades, technological developments (including those related to artificial intelligence) or failures (for example, widespread system outages or disruptions or faulty updates to software applications) and other similar events, each of which
120 | PROSPECTUS

may be temporary or last for extended periods. For example, the threat or actual imposition of tariffs, trade restrictions, currency restrictions or similar actions (or retaliatory measures taken in response to such actions) could adversely affect the Fund’s investments, including by leading to price volatility, overall declines in the U.S. and global investment markets, reduced liquidity and investment losses. During a general downturn in the securities markets or economies, multiple asset classes may decline in value simultaneously even if the performance of those asset classes is not otherwise historically correlated.
Moreover, changing economic, political, geopolitical, social, technological, financial market or other conditions in one country or geographic region could adversely affect the value, yield and return of the investments held by the Fund in a different country or geographic region and economies, markets and issuers generally because of the increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets. As a result, there is an increased risk that these and other events will disrupt economies and markets globally. For example, local or regional armed conflicts (notably the Russia-Ukraine war and conflicts in the Middle East) have led to significant sanctions by the United States, Europe and other countries against certain countries (as well as persons and companies connected with certain countries) and have led to indirect adverse regional and global market, economic and other effects. It is difficult to accurately predict or foresee when events or conditions affecting the U.S. or global financial markets, economies, and issuers may occur, the effects of such events or conditions, potential escalations or expansions of these events, possible retaliations in response to sanctions or similar actions and the duration or ultimate impact of those events. There is an increased likelihood that these types of events or conditions can, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, result in a variety of adverse developments and circumstances, such as reduced liquidity, supply chain disruptions and market volatility, as well as increased general uncertainty and broad ramifications for markets, economies, issuers, businesses in many sectors and societies globally. In addition, adverse changes in one sector or industry or with respect to a particular company could negatively impact companies in other sectors or industries or increase market volatility as a result of the interconnected nature of economies and markets and thus negatively affect the Fund’s performance, even if the Fund does not invest directly in issuers that participate in the sectors or industries experiencing such types of change. These types of adverse developments could result from under-regulated markets, novel and maturing markets (for example, the markets for artificial intelligence, cryptocurrencies and digital or blockchain assets and technologies), systemic risk, natural market forces, bad actors or other scenarios and negatively affect the Fund’s performance or operations. For example, developments in the banking or financial services sectors (or one or more companies operating in these sectors) could adversely impact a wide range of companies and issuers, resulting in systemic adverse consequences across a broad segment of financial markets and economies (regionally, domestically and globally) in unanticipated or unforeseen ways.
Similarly, the increasingly widespread use of artificial intelligence by issuers and market participants and investments in such technologies by issuers may significantly impact the economy, financial markets and issuers. In addition, the increased prevalence and acceptance of cryptocurrencies and digital assets throughout the economy and financial markets may also significantly impact the investments made by the Fund, even indirectly. For example, issuers that engage in artificial intelligence-related businesses or simply increasingly use these technologies are particularly susceptible to the risks associated with artificial intelligence and its rapid and unpredictable evolution, including (but not limited to) market and business risks, technology and product risks, cybersecurity and data security risks, and intellectual property risks. Similarly, issuers that engage in cryptocurrency, digital assets-related businesses or blockchain technology or otherwise have exposure to cryptocurrencies or digital assets are particularly susceptible to the risks associated with cryptocurrencies or digital or blockchain assets and technologies, including (but not limited to) potential fraud and market manipulation, extreme market volatility, theft, losses related to cyberincidents, confidence in and development of these markets, or related errors. In addition, the prices of securities issued by companies in these market segments are subject to increased volatility, changes in the regulatory environment and risks associated with changes in investor sentiment. As a result, the Fund may be adversely affected by developments impacting these issuers.
Different sectors, industries and security types may go through different cycles of under-performance and out-performance and therefore react differently to the types of adverse developments discussed above, and when the market performs well, there is no assurance that the Fund’s investments will increase in value along with the broader markets. The Fund’s investments may underperform general securities markets or other investments, particularly during such periods. For example, the value of the 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. Periods of market stress and volatility of financial markets, including potentially extreme stress and volatility caused by the events described above or similar circumstances, can expose the Fund to greater market risk than normal, possibly resulting in greatly reduced liquidity, increased volatility and valuation risks, lower than usual sale prices and longer than usual trade settlement periods. The fewer the number of issuers in
PROSPECTUS | 121

which the Fund invests and/or the greater the use of leverage, the greater the potential volatility in the Fund’s portfolio. In addition, liquidity and sales challenges can be exacerbated by large Fund redemptions, which often result from or are related to market or other similar disruptions. The Advisor potentially will be prevented from considering, managing and executing investment decisions at an advantageous time or price or at all as a result of any domestic or global market or other disruptions, particularly disruptions causing heightened market volatility and reduced market liquidity, which have in the past and could in the future result in impediments to the normal functioning of workforces, including personnel and systems of the Fund’s service providers and market intermediaries.
The domestic political environment, as well as political and diplomatic events within the United States and abroad, such as the U.S. budget and deficit reduction plan, including related agency or departmental actions and uncertainty related to the debt ceiling, and foreign policy tensions with foreign nations, including embargoes, tariffs, sanctions, trade wars, and other similar initiatives or developments, has in the past resulted, and may in the future result, in developments that present additional risks to the Fund’s investments and operations. For example, U.S. federal government shutdowns, U.S. foreign policy, the actual or threatened imposition of tariffs, deficit levels and any reduction plans and other federal government initiatives, or U.S. economic policies and any related domestic and/or geopolitical tensions may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree. Market, economic and other disruptions could also prevent the Fund from executing its investment strategies and processes in a timely manner. As an additional example, when the United States is a significant trading partner of a foreign country in which the Fund may invest or be exposed to, such foreign country may be particularly sensitive to changes in U.S. foreign trading policies, including the institution of additional tariffs. Changes or disruptions in market conditions also may lead to increased regulation of the Fund and the instruments in which the Fund may invest, which may, in turn, affect the Fund’s ability to pursue its investment objective and the Fund’s performance. Legislation and regulation can also change the ways in which the Fund or the Advisor are regulated. In general, the securities or other instruments in which the Fund’s portfolio managers believe represent an attractive investment opportunity or in which the Fund seeks to invest may be unavailable entirely or in the specific quantities sought by the Fund. As a result, the 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 the Fund. In addition, many economies and markets may experience, and have experienced in recent periods, high inflation rates. In response to such inflation, governmental and quasi-governmental authorities have in the past implemented, and may implement in the future, significant fiscal and monetary policies, such as increasing interest rates and quantitative tightening (reduction of money available in the market), which may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy, as well as the Fund’s performance. Monetary and/or fiscal actions taken by U.S. or foreign governments may not be effective and could lead to increased market volatility and adverse economic conditions. An unexpected or sudden reversal of these policies, or the ineffectiveness of these policies, could increase volatility in securities markets and have other downstream impacts on financial markets and economic conditions and, thus, the Fund’s investments. The frequency and magnitude of the resulting changes in the value of the Fund’s investments cannot be predicted.
Mid-Capitalization Securities Risk—The Fund may be subject to the risk that mid-capitalization securities may underperform, or outperform, if the Fund has net short exposure to mid-capitalization securities, 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 the Fund to sell mid-capitalization securities at a desired time or price. In addition, mid-capitalization companies may 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—To the extent that the Fund invests a significant percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers, the Fund is subject to the risks of investing in those few issuers, and may be more susceptible to a single adverse economic or regulatory occurrence. As a result, changes in the market value of a single issuer's securities could cause greater fluctuations in the value of Fund shares than would occur in a diversified fund.
OTC Trading Risk—Certain of the derivatives in which the Fund invests may be traded (and privately negotiated) in the OTC market. While the OTC derivatives market is the primary trading venue for many derivatives, it is largely unregulated and lacks transparency with respect to the terms of OTC transactions. OTC derivatives are complex and often valued subjectively. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties
122 | PROSPECTUS

or a loss of value to the Fund. In addition, such derivative instruments are often highly customized and tailored to meet the needs of the counterparties. If a derivatives 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, the Fund is subject to counterparty credit risk with respect to such derivatives contracts.
Passive Investment Risk—The Fund is not actively managed and may be affected by a general decline in market segments or rise in market segments for the Inverse S&P 500® 2x Strategy Fund, Inverse NASDAQ-100® 2x Strategy Fund, Inverse Dow 2x Strategy Fund and Inverse Russell 2000® 2x Strategy Fund, relating to its underlying index. The Fund invests in securities included in, or representative of, its underlying index regardless of their investment merits. The Advisor does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining or rising markets, as applicable. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater losses in a declining market (or rising market for the Inverse S&P 500® 2x Strategy Fund, Inverse NASDAQ-100® 2x Strategy Fund, Inverse Dow 2x Strategy Fund and Inverse Russell 2000® 2x Strategy Fund) than a fund that does take defensive positions.
Portfolio Turnover Risk—The periodic rebalancing of the Fund’s holdings pursuant to its daily investment objective may lead to a greater number of portfolio transactions in the Fund than experienced by other mutual funds. Such frequent and active trading may lead to significantly higher transaction costs for the Fund because of increased broker commissions associated with such transactions. The Fund calculates portfolio turnover without including the short-term cash instruments or derivatives transactions that comprise the majority of the Fund’s trading. As such, if the Fund’s extensive use of derivative instruments were reflected, the calculated portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher. Portfolio turnover may cause the Fund’s performance to be less than you expect.
Prepayment and Extension Risk—The issuers of securities held by the Fund or investment companies in which the Fund invests 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. Prepayment risk is a major risk of mortgage-backed securities and certain asset-backed securities.
Most floating rate loans (such as syndicated bank loans) and debt 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 securities purchased to replace a prepaid corporate loan or security may have lower yields than the yield on the prepaid corporate loan.
Certain debt instruments, including mortgage- and other asset-backed securities, are subject to the risk that payments on principal may occur at a slower rate or later than expected. In this event, the expected maturity could lengthen as short or intermediate-term instruments become longer-term instruments, which would make the investment more sensitive to changes in interest rates. The likelihood that payments on principal will occur at a slower rate or later than expected is heightened in market environments where interest rates are higher or rising. In addition, the Fund’s investment may sharply decrease in value and the Fund’s income from the investment may quickly decline. These types of instruments are particularly subject to extension risk, and offer less potential for gains, during periods of rising interest rates. In addition, the Fund may be delayed in its ability to reinvest income or proceeds from these instruments in potentially higher yielding investments, which would adversely affect the Fund to the extent its investments are in lower interest rate debt instruments. Thus, changes in interest rates may cause volatility in the value of and income received from these types of debt instruments.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) 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 and may be more volatile and/or less liquid than other types of securities. REITs are dependent upon management skills, are not diversified, are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, default by borrowers and self-liquidation. REITs (especially mortgage REITs) also are subject to interest rate and prepayment risks. When interest rates decline, the value of a REIT’s investment in fixed-rate obligations can be expected to rise. Conversely, when interest rates rise, the value of a REIT’s investment in fixed-rate obligations can be expected to decline. Mortgage REITs may be affected by the quality of any credit extended to them. The value of an equity REIT may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying property, while a mortgage REIT may be affected by the quality of the credit extended. The performance of both types of REITs depends upon conditions in the real estate industry, management skills and the amount of cash flow.
PROSPECTUS | 123

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. U.S. REITs also are subject to unique federal tax requirements. A U.S. REIT that fails to comply with federal income 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 the Fund from a REIT generally will not constitute qualified dividend income.
REITs often do not provide complete tax information to the Fund until after the calendar year-end. Consequently, because of the delay, it may be necessary for the Fund to request permission from the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") to extend the deadline for issuance of Forms 1099-DIV.
Redemption Risk—The Fund may need to sell a significant amount of portfolio securities or other assets to meet redemption requests. The Fund could incur considerable losses when selling portfolio securities or other assets to meet redemption requests if, among other reasons, (i) there is significant redemption activity by shareholders, including, for example, when a single investor, a few large investors, or many investors redeem a significant amount of the Fund’s shares, (ii) there is a disruption in the normal operation of the markets in which the Fund buys and sells portfolio securities or other assets and/or (iii) the Fund is unable to sell portfolio securities or other assets at a favorable time or price because such assets are less liquid or illiquid. In such events, the Fund could be forced to sell portfolio securities or other assets at unfavorable prices, including potential highly unfavorable prices, in an effort to generate sufficient cash to pay redeeming shareholders. The Fund may suspend redemptions or the payment of redemption proceeds when permitted by applicable regulations.
Regulatory and Legal Risk—The Fund’s activities may be limited or restricted because of laws and regulations applicable to the Fund or the Advisor. U.S. and non-U.S. governmental agencies and other regulators regularly implement additional regulations (or amend or change existing 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 applicable to the Fund (such as regulations related to the use of derivatives and other transactions). These regulations and laws may impact the performance, costs and operations of the Fund, as well as the way investments in, and shareholders of, the Fund are taxed. For example, the SEC has adopted amendments to its rule regarding names of registered investment companies, such as the Fund. The full impact of the rule amendments on the Fund is uncertain and under assessment.
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 the Fund or, in the case of a reverse repurchase agreement, the securities or other assets sold by the 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 or other assets 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 or other assets sold by the Fund exceeds the repurchase price payable by the Fund; if the value of the purchased securities or other assets increases during such a delay, that loss may also be increased. When the Fund enters into a reverse repurchase agreement, any fluctuations in the market value of either the securities or other assets transferred to another party or the securities or other assets in which the proceeds may be invested would affect the market value of the Fund’s assets. As a result, such transactions may increase fluctuations in the NAV of the 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 the 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
124 | PROSPECTUS

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.
Sector Risk—The Fund is subject to one or more of the Sector Risks described below. For information about the specific Sector Risk applicable to the Fund, please see the Fund's Summary section.
Communication Services Sector Risk—The risk that the securities of, or financial instruments tied to the performance of, issuers in the Communication Services Sector that the Fund purchases will underperform the market as a whole. To the extent that the Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Communication Services Sector ("Communication Services Companies"), the Fund is subject to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Communication Services Sector. The performance of Communication Services Companies has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall economy, and also is affected by economic growth, consumer confidence, attitudes and spending. Increased sensitivity to short product cycles and aggressive pricing, challenges in bringing products to market and changes in demographics and consumer tastes also can affect the demand for, and success of, communication services products and services in the marketplace.
Consumer Discretionary Sector Risk—The risk that the securities of, or financial instruments tied to the performance of, issuers in the Consumer Discretionary Sector that the Fund purchases will underperform the market as a whole. To the extent that the Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Consumer Discretionary Sector ("Consumer Discretionary Companies"), the Fund is subject to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Consumer Discretionary Sector. The performance of Consumer Discretionary Companies has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall economy, and may be widely affected by interest rates, competition, consumer confidence and relative levels of disposable household income and seasonal consumer spending. Changes in demographics and consumer tastes also can affect the demand for, and success of, consumer products and services in the marketplace. In addition, Consumer Discretionary Companies may be adversely affected and lose value more quickly in periods of economic downturns. The products offered by Consumer Discretionary Companies may be viewed as luxury items during times of economic downturn.
Consumer Staples Sector Risk—The risk that the securities of, or financial instruments tied to the performance of, issuers in the Consumer Staples Sector that the Fund purchases will underperform the market as a whole. To the extent that the Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Consumer Staples Sector ("Consumer Staples Companies"), the Fund is subject to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Consumer Staples Sector. The performance of Consumer Staples Companies has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall economy, and may fluctuate widely due to interest rates, competition, consumer confidence and relative levels of disposable household income and seasonal consumer spending. The performance of Consumer Staples Companies are subject to government regulations, such as those affecting the permissibility of using various food additives and production methods, which could affect company profitability. Tobacco companies may be adversely affected by the adoption of proposed legislation and/or by litigation. Also, the success of food and soft drinks may be strongly affected by fads, marketing campaigns and other factors affecting supply and demand.
Energy Sector RiskThe risk that the securities of, or financial instruments tied to the performance of, issuers in the Energy Sector that the Fund purchases will underperform the market as a whole either by declining in value or failing to perform as well. To the extent that the Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Energy Sector ("Energy Companies"), the Fund is subject to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Energy Sector. The prices of the securities of Energy Companies may fluctuate widely due to the supply and demand both for their specific products or services and for energy products in general, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, governmental regulation and environmental issues, and world events and economic conditions generally affecting energy supply companies. The prices of the securities of Energy Companies also may fluctuate widely due to changes in value and dividend yield, which depend largely on the price and supply of energy resources, international political events relating to oil producing countries, energy conservation, the success of exploration projects, and tax and other governmental regulatory policies.
PROSPECTUS | 125

Financials Sector Risk—The risk that the securities of, or financial instruments tied to the performance of, issuers in the Financials Sector that the Fund purchases will underperform the market as a whole. To the extent the Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Financials Sector ("Financials Companies"), the Fund is subject to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Financials Sector. Financials Companies are subject to extensive governmental regulation which may limit both the amounts and types of loans and other financial commitments they can make, and the interest rates and fees they can charge. 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. In addition, the deterioration of the credit markets generally may cause an adverse impact in a broad range of markets, including U.S. and international credit and interbank money markets generally, thereby affecting a wide range of financial institutions and markets. Events affecting the Financials Sector in the recent past resulted in an unusually high degree of volatility in the financial markets, both domestic and foreign, and caused certain Financials Companies to incur large losses. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers and financial losses associated with investment activities can negatively impact the sector. Insurance companies also may be subject to severe price competition.
Health Care Sector Risk—The risk that the securities of, or financial instruments tied to the performance of, issuers in the Health Care Sector that the Fund purchases will underperform the market as a whole. To the extent that the Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Health Care Sector ("Health Care Companies"), the Fund is subject to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Health Care Sector. The prices of the securities of Health Care Companies may fluctuate widely due to government regulation and approval of products and services, which can have a significant effect on price and availability. Furthermore, the types of products or services produced or provided by Health Care Companies may quickly become obsolete. Moreover, liability for products that are later alleged to be harmful or unsafe may be substantial and may have a significant impact on a Health Care Company’s market value and/or share price.
Industrials Sector Risk—The risk that the securities of, or financial instruments tied to the performance of, issuers in the Industrials Sector that the Fund purchases will underperform the market as a whole. To the extent that the Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Industrials Sector ("Industrials Companies"), the Fund is subject to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Industrials Sector. The prices of the securities of Industrials Companies may fluctuate widely due to the level and volatility of commodity prices, the exchange value of the dollar, import controls, worldwide competition, liability for environmental damage, depletion of resources, and mandated expenditures for safety and pollution control devices. Further, the prices of securities of Industrials Companies, specifically transportation companies, may fluctuate widely due to their cyclical nature, occasional sharp price movements that may result from changes in the economy, fuel prices, labor agreement, and insurance costs, the recent trend of government deregulation, and increased competition from foreign companies, many of which are partially funded by foreign governments and which may be less sensitive to short-term economic pressures.
Information Technology Sector Risk—The risk that the securities of, or financial instruments tied to the performance of, issuers in the Information Technology Sector that the Fund purchases will underperform the market as a whole. To the extent that the Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Information Technology Sector (“Information Technology Companies”), the Fund is subject to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Information Technology Sector. The prices of the securities of Information Technology Companies may fluctuate widely due to competitive pressures, increased sensitivity to short product cycles and aggressive pricing, problems relating to bringing their products to market, very high price/earnings ratios, and high personnel turnover due to severe labor shortages for skilled technology professionals. In addition, a rising interest rate environment tends to negatively affect companies in the technology sector because, in such an environment, those companies with high market valuations may appear less attractive to investors, which may cause sharp decreases in the companies’ market prices. Companies in the technology sector are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights. The loss or impairment of these rights may adversely affect the profitability of these companies. The technology sector also may be adversely affected by changes or trends in commodity prices, which may be influenced or characterized by unpredictable factors. Finally, while all companies may be susceptible to network security breaches, certain companies in the technology sector may be particular targets of hacking and potential theft of proprietary or consumer information or disruptions in service, which could have a material adverse effect on their businesses.
126 | PROSPECTUS

Materials Sector RiskThe risk that the securities of, or financial instruments tied to the performance of, issuers in the Materials Sector that the Fund purchases will underperform the market as a whole. To the extent that the Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Materials Sector ("Materials Sector Companies"), the Fund is subject to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Materials Sector. The prices of the securities of Materials Companies may fluctuate widely due to the level and volatility of commodity prices, the exchange value of the U.S. dollar, import controls, worldwide competition, liability for environmental damage, depletion of resources, and mandated expenditures for safety and pollution control devices.
Real Estate Sector Risk—The Fund invests in the securities of real estate companies, including REITs. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of real estate companies that the Fund purchases will underperform the market as a whole. To the extent that the Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting their business in the Real Estate Sector ("Real Estate Companies"), the Fund is subject to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Real Estate Sector. Investments in Real Estate Companies also may subject the Fund to the risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate. The general performance of the real estate industry has historically been cyclical and particularly sensitive to economic downturns. Changes in prevailing real estate values and rental income, interest rates and changing demographics may affect the value of securities of issuers in the real estate industry. As the demand for, or prices of, real estate increase, the value of the Fund’s investments generally would be expected to also increase. Conversely, declines in the demand for, or prices of, real estate generally would be expected to contribute to declines in the value of the real estate market and REITs. Such declines may occur quickly and without warning and may negatively impact the value of the Fund and your investment. For more information regarding the potential risks of investing in REITs, please see “Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) Risk” above.
Securities Lending Risk—Securities lending involves the lending of portfolio securities owned by the 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 the Fund. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy of the borrower or lending agent, the Fund could experience losses or delays in recovering the loaned securities or foreclosing on collateral. In some cases, these risks may be mitigated by an indemnification provided by the Fund’s lending agent. When lending portfolio securities, the Fund initially will require the borrower to provide the Fund with collateral, most commonly cash, which the Fund will invest. Although the Fund invests cash 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. To the extent a borrower pledges non-cash collateral, the Fund will earn lending fees paid by the borrower through the lending agent. It is possible that, should the Fund’s lending agent experience financial difficulties or bankruptcy, the Fund may not receive the fees it is owed.
Shareholder Trading Risk—The Advisor expects a significant portion of the Fund’s assets to come from investors who take part in certain strategic and tactical asset allocation programs that involve frequent trading to take advantage of anticipated changes in market conditions. Frequent trading could increase the rate of the Fund’s portfolio turnover, which correspondingly may increase the transaction expenses borne by the Fund, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups/markdowns and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities. The trading costs associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect the Fund’s performance. In addition, large movements of assets into and out of the Fund may have a negative impact on its ability to achieve its investment objective or its desired level of operating expenses. The risks associated with frequent trading activity and high portfolio turnover will have a negative impact on longer-term investments.
Short Sales 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 involves the use of derivatives (such as options and swaps) to gain exposure to a short position without having to borrow the security. A short exposure exposes the Fund to counterparty credit and leverage risks. The loss on a short sale or other short exposure, which, in some cases, may be theoretically unlimited, may be greater than a direct investment in the security itself because the price of the borrowed or referenced security may rise, thereby increasing the price at which the security must be purchased or the settlement price of the short exposure contract. The 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 the Fund may have to buy the borrowed securities at an unfavorable price, resulting in a loss. Short sales also subject the Fund to risks related to the lender (such as bankruptcy risks) or the general risk that the lender does
PROSPECTUS | 127

not comply with its obligations. The use of short sales may cause the 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 Fund’s ability to engage in short selling. The use of physical short sales is typically more expensive than gaining short exposure through derivatives.
Small-Capitalization Securities Risk—The Fund may be subject to the risk that small-capitalization securities may underperform, or outperform, if the Fund has net short exposure to small-capitalization securities, 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 the 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.
Special Situation Investments/Securities in Default Risk—Investments in the securities and debt of distressed issuers or issuers in default (“Special Situation Investments”) involve a far greater level of risk than investing in issuers whose debt obligations are being met and whose debt trades at or close to its “par” or full value. While offering an opportunity for capital appreciation, Special Situation Investments are highly speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to make interest payments and/or to pay its principal obligations in full and/or on time. Special Situation Investments can be very difficult to properly value, making them susceptible to a high degree of price volatility and potentially rendering them less liquid than performing debt obligations. Those Special Situation Investments involved in a bankruptcy proceeding can be subject to a high degree of uncertainty with regard to both the timing and the amount of the ultimate settlement. Special Situation Investments may include debtor-in-possession financing, sub-performing real estate loans and mortgages, privately placed senior, mezzanine, subordinated and junior debt, letters of credit, trade claims, convertible bonds, and preferred and common stocks. The risks of Special Situation Investments are heightened under current conditions.
Tracking Error Risk—The Advisor may not be able to cause the Fund’s performance to match that of the Fund’s benchmark, either on a daily or aggregate basis. Factors such as Fund expenses, imperfect correlation between the Fund’s investments and those of its underlying index, rounding of share prices, changes to the composition of the underlying index, regulatory policies, high portfolio turnover rate, and the use of leverage all contribute to tracking error. Tracking error may cause the Fund’s performance to be less than you expect. In addition, because the Fund is tracking the performance of its benchmark on a daily basis, mathematical compounding may prevent the Fund from correlating with the monthly, quarterly, annual or other period performance of its benchmark. Tracking error may cause the Fund’s performance to be less than you expect.
Trading Halt Risk—The Fund typically will hold futures contracts and short-term options. The major exchanges on which these contracts are traded, such as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, have established limits on how much the trading price of a futures contract or option may decline over various time periods within a day, and may halt trading in a contract that exceeds such limits. In addition, the major securities exchanges, such as the NYSE, have established limits on how much the securities market, based on the Dow Jones Industrial Average®, may decline over various time periods within a day. If the price of a security, a futures contract or an option declines more than the established limits, trading on the exchange is halted on that instrument. If a trading halt occurs, the Fund may temporarily be unable to purchase or sell the futures contracts, options or securities that are the subject of the trading halt. Such a trading halt near the time the Fund prices its shares may limit the Fund’s ability to use leverage and fully invest its assets, which could increase tracking error and adversely affect performance, and may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. In such an event, the Fund also may be required to use a “fair value” method to price its outstanding contracts or securities. 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 Fund’s valuation procedures will in fact approximate the price at which the 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).
U.S. Government Securities Risk—U.S. government securities are subject to market and interest rate risk, as well as varying degrees of credit 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
128 | PROSPECTUS

from the U.S. Treasury; (iii) the credit of the issuing agency, instrumentality or government-sponsored entity (“GSE”); (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 and, thus, are subject to greater credit risk than other types of U.S. government securities. The value of U.S. government obligations may be adversely affected by changes in interest rates. There is no guarantee that the U.S. government will provide support to its agencies and GSEs if they are unable to meet their obligations. In addition, it is possible that the issuers of some U.S. government securities will not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future and there is a risk of default. Also, circumstances could arise in which U.S. government securities, including U.S. treasury securities that are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, experience increased credit risk (including increased risk of default) and reduced market liquidity (which may result in such securities becoming less liquid or illiquid). The long-term credit rating of the U.S. government may be downgraded by major rating agencies due to, among other things, an actual or expected fiscal deterioration, a high and growing government debt burden and an erosion governance relative to peers, which would adversely affect investments in U.S. government securities.

Management of the Funds
INVESTMENT ADVISOR
Security Investors, LLC, located at 330 Madison Avenue, 10th Floor, New York, New York 10017, serves as the investment adviser to each of the Funds. The Advisor, which is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Guggenheim Capital, LLC and an affiliate of Guggenheim Partners, LLC, is a registered investment adviser and a registered commodity pool operator. The Advisor has served as the investment adviser of each Fund since its inception.
The Advisor makes investment decisions for the assets of the Funds and continuously reviews, supervises, and administers each Fund’s investment program. The Board of Trustees of the Trust supervises the Advisor and establishes policies that the Advisor must follow in its day-to-day management activities. Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement between the Trust and the Advisor, each Fund paid the Advisor a fee at an annualized rate for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, based on the average daily net assets of the Fund, as set forth below:
Fund
Advisory Fee

For each Fund, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse the Fund’s expenses in an amount equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, such amount to be calculated daily and any reimbursement due to be paid no less frequently than monthly. This fee waiver will be honored by the Advisor through August 1, 2027 and shall automatically renew for one-year terms unless the Advisor provides written notice to a Fund of the termination of the agreement. The agreement may be terminated at any time by the Funds’ Board of Trustees. In any event, this undertaking will continue for at least twelve months from the date of this Prospectus.
In addition to the contractual waiver and/or reimbursement arrangement discussed above, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse each Fund’s expenses in an additional amount equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, such amount to be calculated daily and any reimbursement due to be paid no less frequently than monthly. This fee waiver will be honored by the Advisor through August 1, 2027 and shall automatically renew for one-year terms unless the Advisor provides written notice to a Fund of the termination of the agreement. The agreement may be terminated at any time by the Funds’ Board of Trustees. In any event, this undertaking will continue for at least twelve months from the date of this Prospectus.
For the NASDAQ-100® 2x Strategy Fund, the Advisor also has contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse the Fund’s expenses in an amount equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets in excess of $500,000,000, such amount to be calculated daily and any reimbursement due to be paid no less frequently than monthly. This fee waiver will be honored by the Advisor through August 1, 2027 and shall automatically renew for one-year terms unless the Advisor provides written notice to the Fund of the termination of the agreement. The agreement may be terminated at any time by the Fund’s Board of Trustees. In any event, this undertaking will continue for at least twelve months from the date of this Prospectus.
The Advisor bears all of its own costs associated with providing these advisory services and the expenses of the members of the Board of Trustees who are affiliated with the Advisor. In addition, the Advisor may make payments from its own resources to broker-dealers and other financial institutions, including to the Advisor’s parent company, Guggenheim Capital, LLC and its affiliates, in connection with services provided to the Funds and for services provided in connection with the sale of Fund shares.
A discussion regarding the basis for the Board of Trustees’ approval of the investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of each Fund, and the Advisor in May 2025 is currently available in the Funds’ report filed on Form N-CSRS for the fiscal period ended September 30, 2025. A discussion regarding the basis for the Board of Trustees’ approval of the Funds’ investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of each Fund, and the Advisor in May 2026 will be available in the Funds’ report filed on Form N-CSRS for the fiscal period ending September 30, 2026.
For each Fund, except the Inverse S&P 500® 2x Strategy Fund and Inverse NASDAQ-100® 2x Strategy Fund, the Advisor may hire one or more sub-advisers to oversee the day-to-day activities of the Funds without seeking the approval of Fund shareholders. The Advisor and the Funds rely on an exemptive order obtained from the SEC to be able to function as a multi-manager structure. The order allows the Advisor to hire, replace or terminate unaffiliated sub-advisers without the approval of shareholders. The order also allows the Advisor to revise a sub-advisory agreement with an unaffiliated sub-adviser with the approval of the Funds’ Board of Trustees, but without shareholder approval. However, any increase in the aggregate advisory fee paid by a Fund, including any increase resulting from a change to a Fund's sub-advisory arrangements, remains subject to 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. In the event the Funds use a sub-advisor, the Advisor would provide the following oversight and evaluation services to the Funds:
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.
130 | PROSPECTUS

The Advisor does not expect to recommend frequent changes of sub-advisers. Although the Advisor will monitor the performance of the sub-advisers, there is no certainty that any sub-adviser or Fund will obtain favorable results at any given time. Currently the Funds are not managed by a sub-adviser.
To the extent sub-advisers provide sub-advisory services to the Funds, their activities with respect to the Funds are subject to oversight by the Advisor. The Advisor has ultimate responsibility for the investment performance of the Funds due to its responsibility to oversee each sub-adviser and recommend their hiring, termination and replacement. The Advisor is not required to disclose individual fees paid to any sub-adviser hired pursuant to the order.

Shareholder Information
CALCULATING NET ASSET VALUE
The price at which you buy, sell and exchange shares is the net asset value per share, which also is referred to as NAV, plus any applicable sales charges.
Each Fund calculates its NAV by:
Taking the current value of its total assets;
Subtracting any liabilities; and
Dividing that amount by the total number of shares owned by shareholders
Each Fund’s assets are comprised of its portfolio securities and other investments and other assets, including cash and net investment income and realized and unrealized capital gains that have previously been earned but not yet distributed. As a result, when a shareholder purchases shares of a Fund, part of the NAV is often comprised of such income and gains prior to the purchase, which are included in the purchase price paid by the shareholder. Further, any payment of an income dividend or distribution of capital gains will result in a decrease in a Fund’s NAV.
Each Fund calculates its NAV twice each Business Day, first in the morning and again in the afternoon, on each day that the NYSE is open for trading. The Funds typically calculate the morning NAV as of 10:45 a.m., Eastern Time and the afternoon NAV as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time). The NYSE is open Monday through Friday, except in observation of the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
On any day that the NYSE closes early, whether scheduled (e.g., days preceding or following generally observed holidays) or unscheduled (e.g., market closures due to trading halts), the Funds typically will calculate NAV as of the earlier closing time and advance the time by which purchase and redemption orders must be received accordingly. In addition, on days that the NYSE is scheduled to close early (e.g., days preceding or following generally observed holidays), the Funds will typically calculate NAV only once as of the early closing time. In the event the NYSE is subject to an unscheduled early close (e.g., market closures due to trading halts) that takes place after 10:45 a.m., Eastern Time, the Funds will typically calculate the morning NAV as of 10:45 a.m., Eastern Time, and the afternoon NAV as of the earlier closing time. In each case, the Funds will advance the time by which purchase and redemption orders must be received accordingly.
On any day that the NYSE or other principal trading market relevant to a particular Fund has an earlier closing time (scheduled or unscheduled) — or as otherwise permitted by the SEC — each 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 or such other principal trading market 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, each Fund may accept purchase and redemption orders until (and calculate its NAV as of) the normally scheduled close of regular trading on the NYSE.
For more information, please call 1-800-820-0888 or visit the Guggenheim Investments website — www.guggenheiminvestments.com.
In calculating NAV, each Fund generally values its investment portfolio based on the market price of the securities as of the time the Fund determines NAV. If market prices are unavailable or the Advisor thinks that they are unreliable, the Advisor prices those securities at fair value. 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 Advisor 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 the Funds calculate NAV.
The Board of Trustees has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the Funds’ investments (the “Valuation Procedures”). Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board designated the Advisor as the valuation designee to perform fair valuation determinations for each Fund with respect to all Fund investments and/or
132 | PROSPECTUS

other assets. As the Funds’ valuation designee pursuant to Rule 2a-5, the Advisor has adopted separate procedures (“Valuation Designee Procedures”) reasonably designed to prevent violations of the requirements of Rule 2a-5 and Rule 31a-4 under the 1940 Act. The Advisor, in its role as valuation designee, is assisted by a valuation committee, consisting of representatives from Guggenheim’s investment management, fund administration, legal and compliance departments (the “Valuation Committee”), in determining the fair value of the Funds’ securities and/or other assets. The Valuation Procedures and Valuation Designee Procedures permit the Funds to use a variety of valuation methodologies in connection with valuing the Funds’ investments. The methodology used for a specific type of investment may vary based on available market data or other relevant considerations. As a general matter, valuing securities and assets accurately is difficult and can be based on inputs and assumptions which may not always be accurate.
In general, portfolio securities and assets of a Fund will be valued on the basis of readily available market quotations at their current market value. With respect to portfolio securities and assets of a Fund for which market quotations are not readily available or deemed unreliable by the Advisor, the Fund will fair value those securities and assets in good faith in accordance with the Valuation Procedures and Valuation Designee Procedures.
Valuations in accordance with these methods are intended to reflect each security’s (or asset’s or liability’s) “fair value.” Fair value represents a good faith approximation of the value of a security. Fair value determinations may be based on limited inputs and involve the consideration of a number of subjective factors, an analysis of applicable facts and circumstances, and the exercise of judgment. Each such determination is based on a consideration of all relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. Examples of such factors may include, but are not limited to market prices; sale prices; broker quotes; and models which derive prices based on inputs such as prices of securities with comparable maturities and characteristics, or based on inputs such as anticipated cash flows or collateral, spread over U.S. Treasury securities, and other information analysis. As a result, it is possible that the fair value for a security determined in good faith in accordance with the Valuation Procedures and Valuation Designee Procedures may differ from valuations for the same security determined by other funds using their own valuation procedures. Although the Valuation Procedures and Valuation Designee Procedures are designed to value a portfolio security or asset at the price a Fund may reasonably expect to receive upon its sale in an orderly transaction, there is no assurance that any fair value determination thereunder would, in fact, approximate the amount that a Fund could reasonably expect to receive upon the sale of the portfolio security or asset.
Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of foreign securities are determined as of the close of such foreign markets or the close of the NYSE, if earlier. All investments quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates prevailing at the close of U.S. business at 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time. Investments in foreign securities may involve risks not present in domestic investments.
A Fund may also fair value securities and assets when a significant event is deemed to have occurred after the time of a market quotation, including for securities and assets traded on foreign markets and securities and assets for which market quotations are provided by independent third party pricing services as of a time that is prior to the time when the Funds determine their NAV. There can be no assurance in each case that significant events will be identified.
With respect to any portion of a Fund’s assets invested in open-end investment companies, the Fund’s NAV is calculated based upon the NAV of the open-end investment companies in which the Fund invests, except ETFs and closed-end investment companies, which are generally valued based on market prices.
Proportions of a Fund’s investments that are fair valued vary from time to time and a Fund may fair value a significant amount of its portfolio securities and assets. The Funds’ report on Form N-CSR contains more information about the Funds’ holdings that are fair valued. Investors should consult the Funds’ report on Form N-CSR for additional information.
Valuations of the Funds’ securities and other assets are supplied primarily by independent third party pricing services appointed pursuant to the processes set forth in the Valuation Designee Procedures. Valuations provided by independent third party pricing services are generally based on methods designed to approximate the amount that a Fund could reasonably expect to receive upon the sale of the portfolio security or asset. When providing valuations to the Funds, pricing services use various inputs, methods, models and assumptions, which may include information provided by broker-dealers and other market makers. Independent third party services face the same challenges as the Funds in valuing securities and assets and may rely on limited available information. If the independent third
PROSPECTUS | 133

party pricing service cannot or does not provide a valuation for a particular investment, or such valuation is deemed unreliable, such investment is fair valued by the Advisor. Each Fund may also use third-party service providers to model certain securities, using models to determine fair market value. While a Fund’s use of fair valuation is intended to result in calculation of NAV that fairly reflects values of the Fund’s portfolio securities as of the time of pricing, a Fund cannot guarantee that any fair valuation will, in fact, approximate the amount the Fund would actually realize upon the sale of the securities in question.
Securities traded on a domestic securities exchange (including ETF shares) are usually valued at the last sale price on that exchange on the day 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 on the valuation date, the last current bid price is used.
Commercial paper and discount notes with remaining maturities of greater than sixty (60) days at the time of purchase are valued using a pricing service. Commercial paper and discount notes with remaining maturities of sixty (60) days or less at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost, unless it is concluded that amortized cost does not represent the fair value of the applicable asset in which case it will be valued using a pricing service. With respect to an underlying open-end mutual fund (“underlying mutual fund”) in which a Fund may invest, the Fund generally 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 mutual fund will use fair value pricing and the effects of fair value pricing.
The Advisor generally values the Funds’ derivatives investments at fair value using a variety of information.
Total return index swaps are generally fair valued based on the current index value at the morning NAV pricing deadline (typically 10:45 a.m. Eastern Time). For the afternoon NAV pricing deadline (typically 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time), total return index swaps are generally fair valued using the official index closing price. Single name credit default swaps are generally fair valued using an evaluated price provided by a pricing service. If there is no evaluated price available, then single name credit default swaps are fair valued based on broker bid prices. Equity options are generally fair valued using the mid-price and commodity options are generally fair valued based on the underlying futures contract of the option. Futures contracts are generally fair valued based on the last sale price. Index and currency futures are generally fair valued based on the last sale price as of 10:45 a.m. Eastern Time for the morning NAV pricing deadline and based on the last sale as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time for the afternoon NAV pricing deadline. Exchange-traded futures are generally fair valued based on the last sale price from the local market.
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.
The use of fair valuation in pricing an investment 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 investment 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.
EXPLANATION OF CERTAIN FUND FEES AND EXPENSES
Short Sales Dividend and Interest Expense—“Short Sales Dividend and Interest Expense” may be incurred when a Fund short sells a security to gain the inverse exposure necessary to meet its investment objective. The Fund must pay out the dividend rate on an equity security, the coupon rate of a fixed income security, and interest expense associated with either, to the lender and records these as an expense of the Fund and reflects these expenses in its financial statements. However, any such dividend or interest expense on a security sold short generally has the effect of reducing the market value of the shorted security – thus increasing the Fund’s unrealized gain or reducing the Fund’s unrealized loss on its short sale transaction. “Short Sales Dividend and Interest Expense” also may include interest expense paid to third parties for the use of funds to be used to further implement a Fund’s strategy. For example, a Fund may pay interest to a swap counterparty for the use of its margin proceeds or collateral, which the Fund would then invest consistent with its investment strategy to seek to achieve its investment objective. A Fund engages in such activity when the Advisor believes the expected return from such investments will exceed and thus, offset the interest expense incurred, though there is no guarantee that such strategy will be successful. “Short Sales Dividend and Interest Expense” is not a fee charged to the shareholder by either the Fund or the Advisor. Rather it is more similar to the investment-related transaction costs or capital expenditures associated with the day-to-day management of any mutual fund.

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 Business Day. As discussed in greater detail under “Calculating Net Asset Value,” on any day that the NYSE or other
PROSPECTUS | 135

principal trading market relevant to a particular Fund has an earlier closing time (scheduled or unscheduled) — or as otherwise permitted by the SEC — each 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 or such other principal trading market for that day.
The NYSE holiday schedule is included in the SAI and Guggenheim Investments will post advance notice of early NYSE closings at www.guggenheiminvestments.com.
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, Bank of New York, or an authorized dealer, subject to any applicable front-end sales charge. 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 Advisor. Any purchase transaction that is sent to the transfer agent does not constitute a purchase order until the transfer agent processes the transaction and receives correct payment by check, wire transfer or ACH.
Some intermediaries may not offer intra-day trading or pricing regardless of when you place your order with your intermediary. All orders received in good order by a financial intermediary that does not offer intra-day pricing will be priced at the Funds’ afternoon NAV. For more information about your financial intermediary’s rules and procedures, you should contact your intermediary directly.

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 will be processed at the Funds’ 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 also may 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. Not all financial intermediaries are authorized to sell shares of the Funds. For more information about your financial intermediary’s rules and procedures, you should contact your financial intermediary directly.

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 described below are available for qualifying purchases made directly from the Funds’ distributor, Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”), and are generally available through financial intermediaries, unless otherwise specified in Appendix A to this Prospectus – “Sales Charge Waivers and Discounts Available Through Intermediaries.” The sales charge waivers and discounts available through certain other financial intermediaries set forth in Appendix A to this Prospectus – “Sales Charge Waivers and Discounts Available Through Intermediaries” – 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.
Class A Shares
Class A shares are sold at NAV, plus the applicable front-end 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 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%

$500,000 but less than $1,000,000
2.00%
2.04%
$1,000,000 or greater
*
*
*
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% 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 Funds’ distributor, Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC (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.
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 to this Prospectus (“Sales Charge Waivers and Discounts Available Through Intermediaries”), including eligibility requirements for sales charge waivers or discounts that may be available to you.
CALCULATION OF CLASS A SHARES CDSC
Any CDSC imposed upon redemption of Class A shares (purchased in amounts of $1,000,000 or more) is a percentage of the lesser of (1) the NAV of the shares redeemed or (2) the net cost of such shares. No CDSC 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 a Fund, (2) shares acquired through reinvestment of income dividends and capital gain distributions, or (3) 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.
HOW TO REDUCE YOUR CLASS A SHARES 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
PROSPECTUS | 137

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 the shares of any other Class A shares or Class C shares of any other series of 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 shares and Class C shares that you own. Additionally, you may combine simultaneous purchases of Class A shares of one series of Rydex Series Funds, Rydex Dynamic Funds or Guggenheim Funds Trust with Class A shares of any other series of 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 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 Rydex Series Funds, Rydex Dynamic Funds or Guggenheim Funds Trust during a 13-month period. At your written request, purchases of Class A shares 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 Fund 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).
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 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 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 must receive your purchase order within 90 days of your redemption.
CLASS A SHARES SALES CHARGE WAIVERS
Class A shares of the Funds may be purchased at NAV by the following:
Directors and officers of the Funds or any other mutual funds managed by the Advisor or one or more of its affiliates;
Directors, officers and employees of Guggenheim Partners, LLC and its affiliates, and spouses, grandparents, parents, children, grandchildren, siblings, nieces and nephews of such directors, officers and employees (and their spouses);
Any trust, pension, profit sharing or other benefit plan established by any of the foregoing corporations for persons described above;
Retirement plans and retirement 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;
138 | PROSPECTUS

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 investment adviser not affiliated with a broker-dealer who either charges periodic fees to its customers for financial planning, investment advisory or asset management services including investment accounts for which a “wrap fee” is imposed; and
Customers of financial intermediaries that have a contractual arrangement with the Distributor or Advisor that provides for the waiver of the front-end sales charge. Each such contractual arrangement with a financial intermediary is described in Appendix A to this Prospectus (“Sales Charge Waivers and Discounts Available Through Intermediaries”).
The Funds do not waive sales charges for the reinvestment of proceeds from the sale of shares of a non-Guggenheim Investments fund where those shares were subject to a front-end sales charge (sometimes called an 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 (“Sales Charge Waivers and Discounts Available Through Intermediaries”).
CLASS A SHARES 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 a Fund for Class A shares of another series of Rydex Series Funds, Rydex Dynamic Funds or Guggenheim Funds Trust, unless you are exchanging shares of the U.S. Government Money Market Fund that have not previously been subject to a sales charge.
WAIVER OF CLASS A SHARES CDSC
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% 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.
The CDSC (when applicable) will be waived for the redemption of Class A shares under the following circumstances:
A 1.00% sales commission was not paid to the intermediary to compensate the intermediary for the sale of shares within 12 months 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 Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Internal Revenue Code");
In connection with distributions from retirement plans qualified under Section 401(a), 401(k), 403(b) of the Internal Revenue 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 Internal Revenue Code) of a participant in a plan;
termination of employment of a participant in a plan; and
any other permissible withdrawal under the terms of the plan.
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 (“Sales Charge Waivers and Discounts Available Through Intermediaries”).

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 a Fund. However, if you sell your shares within 12 months of purchase, you will normally have to pay a 1% 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. If your intermediary has entered into arrangements with the Distributor to forgo receipt of that initial 1.00% sales commission, the Fund will waive any otherwise applicable CDSC when you redeem your Class C shares. Broker-dealers that have entered into such arrangements with the Distributor are identified in Appendix A to this Prospectus. You also may contact your intermediary directly for more information about whether your broker-dealer has entered into such an arrangement.
CALCULATION OF CLASS C SHARES CDSC
Any CDSC imposed upon redemption of 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 CDSC 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 a Fund, (2) shares acquired through reinvestment of income dividends and capital gain distributions, or (3) 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 CLASS C SHARES CDSC
The CDSC (when applicable) will be waived for the redemption of Class C shares 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 Sections 401(a), 401(k), 403(b) or 408 of the Internal Revenue Code;
In connection with distributions from retirement plans qualified under Sections 401(a), 401(k) or 403(b) of the Internal Revenue 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 Internal Revenue Code) of a participant in a plan;
termination of employment of a participant in a plan; and
any other permissible withdrawal under the terms of the plan.
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 (“Sales Charge Waivers and Discounts Available Through Intermediaries”).
CLASS A AND CLASS C SALES CHARGE WAIVERS AND DISCOUNTS AVAILABLE THROUGH INTERMEDIARIES
Eligible purchasers of Class A shares and Class C shares may be entitled to reduced or waived sales charges through certain purchase programs offered by the Funds. The availability of such sales charge waivers and discounts will depend on whether you purchase your shares directly from the Funds as discussed above or through a financial intermediary. The financial intermediaries with which the Funds have entered into a sales charge waiver or discount arrangement and the details of those arrangements are identified and described in Appendix A to this Prospectus. Appendix A, as updated from time to time, also may be viewed on the Funds’ website, guggenheiminvestments.com.
It is important to note that while an intermediary may have entered into an arrangement with the Funds as described in Appendix A, intermediaries may have additional and different policies and procedures regarding the availability of certain share classes. In all instances, it is your responsibility to notify your financial intermediary at the time of
140 | PROSPECTUS

purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying you for certain share classes eligible for sales charge waivers and discounts. If certain share classes or waivers and discounts are not available through a particular intermediary, shareholders may purchase Fund shares directly from the Funds or through another intermediary to receive the available waivers or discounts.
Buying Fund Shares
Each Fund offers its 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 three business days of Guggenheim Investments receiving the purchase order. Purchase orders are subject to the Funds’ transaction cut-off times and will be processed at the NAV next determined after your purchase order is received in good order. For information regarding the minimum initial investment amounts applicable to purchases of Class A shares and Class C shares of the Funds, as applicable, please see the Funds’ summary sections earlier in this Prospectus.
Purchases of Class C shares of a Fund requested in an amount of $1,000,000 or more will be automatically made in Class A shares of that Fund.
Each Fund is generally required to report cost basis, gain or loss, and holding period information to you and the IRS when "covered shares" are sold or redeemed. Shares acquired on or after January 1, 2012 are generally considered covered shares. The Fund will use a default average cost basis method for reporting your cost basis for covered shares, unless you instruct us to use another method. Under the average cost basis method, the basis per share is reported as an average of the bases of your Fund shares in the account. For these purposes, covered shares and non-covered shares are treated as held in separate accounts. If you wish to choose another default cost basis method for your account, you may select from among FIFO (“first-in-first-out”), LIFO (“last-in-first-out”) and HIFO (“highest-cost-in-first-out”). For redemptions of shares acquired before January 1, 2012 (“non-covered shares”), the Fund is 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 method policies. For more information about your financial intermediary’s rules and procedures, you should contact your financial intermediary directly.
Fund shareholders should consult with their tax advisers prior to making redemptions to determine the best IRS accepted cost basis method for their tax situation and to obtain more information about the cost basis reporting rules. For more information, please see “Cost Basis.”
For additional discussion of the average cost method, see “Redemption Procedures.”
PURCHASE PROCEDURES
The Funds offer you the option to submit purchase orders through your financial intermediary or send purchase orders by mail, fax or internet and send purchase proceeds by check, wire transfer or ACH to the Funds 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. The refund of a canceled purchase will be mailed to you after the 10-day hold has expired for purchases made by ACH and check.
Guggenheim Investments does not accept purchase orders from 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.

the Bank Information and Alternate Payee form from the www.guggenheiminvestments.com
website, and follow the instructions for adding bank instructions.
CANCELED PURCHASE ORDERS
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 (Bank of New York) does not receive your wire transfer
if the transfer agent (Bank of New York) does not receive your ACH transfer
if your bank does not honor your ACH transfer
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 Fund(s) may have experienced from the time of your order to the time of its cancellation. In addition, if the Fund(s) NAV decreases in value from the time of your order to the time of its cancellation, the Fund(s) 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 Fund on any Business Day. You may redeem all or any portion of your Fund shares at the Fund’s next determined NAV calculated after your redemption order is received in good order by the transfer agent or your financial intermediary.
The Funds may suspend your right to redeem your shares during times when trading on the NYSE is suspended or restricted, or otherwise as permitted by the SEC.
Under normal circumstances, the Funds expect to satisfy redemption requests with cash or cash equivalents in their portfolios or by selling portfolio assets to generate cash. The Funds also may pay redemption proceeds using cash obtained through borrowing arrangements that may be available to the Funds from time to time.
The Funds reserve the right to pay all or part of your redemption proceeds in liquid securities (i.e., in kind) with a market value equal to the redemption price. 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.
During periods of stressed market conditions, the Funds may be more likely to pay redemption proceeds with cash obtained through short-term borrowing arrangements (if available) or in kind.
REDEMPTION PROCEDURES
You will ordinarily submit your transaction order through your financial intermediary or other securities dealers through which you opened your shareholder account. If you opened your account directly with the Funds, you may send redemption orders to Guggenheim Investments by:

A maximum of $1,000,000 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
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)
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 shareholders choose not to use the default cost basis method of average cost for an account, such shareholders must choose a cost basis method from among FIFO, LIFO or HIFO with respect to the account. 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.
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.
Fund shareholders should consult their tax advisers prior to making redemptions to determine the best IRS accepted cost basis method for their tax situation and to obtain more information about the cost basis reporting rules. For more information see “Cost Basis.”
DISTRIBUTIONS FROM QUALIFIED RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS
Distributions from your tax-qualified plan or 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. All requests for distributions of redemption proceeds from tax-qualified plan 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
Your redemption proceeds normally will be sent within five days of the Funds’ transfer agent receiving your request, but in any event within seven days regardless of the method used to pay your redemption proceeds (e.g., check, wire or electronic transfer (ACH)). For redemption orders that settle on federal bank holidays, your redemption proceeds will normally 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 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 U.S. Government Money Market Fund as of the date of the redemption (shares of the U.S. Government Money Market Fund are
PROSPECTUS | 145

offered in a separate prospectus). If you are setting up new alternate payee instructions (check) or new bank instructions (ACH or wire) the request must be in writing, 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 1-800-820-0888 if you have any questions about your redemption request.
MEDALLION SIGNATURE GUARANTEES
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 the Funds.
UNCASHED CHECK POLICY
Uncashed dividend, capital gain, or redemption checks will be handled in accordance with applicable law. The Funds may be required to transfer assets related to uncashed checks to a state under the state’s escheatment or abandoned property laws.
LOW BALANCE ACCOUNTS
To offset the administrative expense of servicing small accounts, the Funds may impose, without additional notice, an administrative fee of $15 per year during periods where your account balance falls below the account minimum requirements for any reason. The Funds may redeem your shares if the value of your account falls below the required minimum account balance. However, the Funds will provide you with at least 30 days’ written notice to allow you sufficient time to add to your account and avoid the redemption of your shares.
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 Class A and Class C shares of any Rydex Series Fund or Rydex Dynamic Fund (collectively, the "Rydex Funds") for Class A and Class C shares of any other fund within the Guggenheim Investments family of funds (collectively, the "Guggenheim Funds") on the basis of the respective NAVs of the shares involved. Investors also may make exchanges on any Business Day of Class A and Class C shares of any Rydex Fund for shares of the U.S. Government Money Market Fund (shares of the U.S. Government Money Market Fund are offered in a separate prospectus).
The Guggenheim Funds currently include all closed- and open-end funds (including all of their portfolios) advised by the Advisor, including the Rydex Funds, and any funds that have an investment adviser or servicing agent that is an affiliated person of the Advisor. For more information about the Funds’ exchange privileges with other Guggenheim Funds, please contact Guggenheim Investments Client Services at 1-800-820-0888 or visit the Guggenheim Investments website at www.guggenheiminvestments.com.
If you exchange your Class A shares or Class C shares of a Rydex Fund for shares of the U.S. Government Money Market Fund, and your Class A shares or Class C shares are subject to a deferred sales charge at the time of the exchange, no deferred sales charge will be incurred on the exchange itself. However, any such deferred sales charge will be assessed at the time you redeem your shares of the U.S. Government Money Market Fund. For shareholders that exchange Class A shares or Class C shares of a Rydex Fund for shares of the U.S. Government Money Market Fund and subsequently exchange shares of the U.S. Government Money Market Fund for Class A shares or Class C shares of a Rydex Fund, the period of time during which the shareholder held shares of the U.S. Government Money Market Fund will not be counted toward the 12-month holding period applicable to Class A shares and Class C shares of the Rydex Fund. However, upon a subsequent exchange of shares of the U.S. Government Money Market Fund for Class A shares or Class C shares of another Rydex Fund, you will be given credit for the period during which you held Class A shares or Class C shares prior to the exchange of such shares for shares of the U.S. Government Money Market Fund.
Exchanges of Fund shares for shares of another Guggenheim Fund will be subject to the purchaser eligibility requirements of the applicable share class of that Guggenheim Fund, which may include initial investment amount and account balance requirements, as disclosed in that Guggenheim Fund's prospectus.
146 | PROSPECTUS

While many of the Rydex Funds offer unlimited exchange privileges with no minimum holding periods or transaction fees, certain Guggenheim Funds do not allow unlimited trading. If you are contemplating an exchange for shares of a Guggenheim Fund not offered in this Prospectus, you should obtain and review that Guggenheim Fund's current prospectus before making the exchange. You can obtain a prospectus for any Guggenheim Fund by calling 1-800-820-0888 or visiting the Guggenheim Investments website at www.guggenheiminvestments.com.
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 Guggenheim 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 Guggenheim Fund you are exchanging out of or the Guggenheim 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.

DOLLAR-COST AVERAGING
Shareholders 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.
PROSPECTUS | 147

The Advisor will make exchanges until the shareholder’s value in the 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 Funds 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. The Funds may use this information to attempt to verify your identity or to identify the source of funds invested in the Funds. The Funds may not be able to establish an account if the necessary information is not received. The Funds also may place limits on account transactions while they are in the process of attempting to verify your identity. Additionally, if the Funds are unable to verify your identity after your account is established, the Funds 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 after your account is closed, and you will bear any risk of loss.
Guggenheim Investments provides accounts for resident U.S. citizens and resident aliens. We will not open a new account for 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
For information on what is required to make changes and/or additions to your account, and to obtain the appropriate forms, please visit the Guggenheim Investments website at www.guggenheiminvestments.com or call 1-800-820-0888. If you own shares that are registered in your financial intermediary’s name, and you want to transfer the registration 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
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 website 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 not able to reach Guggenheim Investments by telephone, fax, or internet, consider sending written instructions.

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 – 1-800-717-7776
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 Fund information including NAVs, daily factors, fund assets (fund assets information is available for most funds) and distributions as well as balance and history information on your Guggenheim Investments account.
SERVICE AND OTHER FEES
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
$20 for standard overnight packages (fee may be higher for special delivery options including residential delivery)
$50 for bounced draft checks or ACH transactions
$15 per year for low balance accounts
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
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.
PROSPECTUS | 149

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 1-800-820-0888.
For additional information on fees for employee accounts please refer to the SAI.
FREQUENT PURCHASES AND REDEMPTIONS OF FUND SHARES
Because the Funds are designed and operated to accommodate frequent trading by shareholders and, unlike most mutual funds, offer unlimited exchange privileges with no minimum holding periods or transaction fees, the Funds’ Board of Trustees has not adopted policies or procedures to monitor or prevent market timing or to monitor for frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares, although it reserves the right to adopt such a policy in the future if it determines that such policy is necessary or appropriate for the protection of shareholders.
A significant portion of the assets of the Funds come from investors who take part in certain strategic and tactical asset allocation programs. The Funds anticipate that investors who take part in these programs may frequently redeem or exchange shares of the Funds, which may cause the Funds to experience high portfolio turnover. Higher portfolio turnover may result in the Funds paying higher levels of transaction costs and generating greater tax liabilities for shareholders. In addition, large movements of assets into and out of the Funds may negatively impact the Funds’ ability to achieve their respective investment objectives.
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 agents) 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 Funds are required to withhold such proceeds. Neither the Funds, the Advisor (or their affiliates) nor the Funds’ 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 (e.g., if the account owner has not initiated any activity in the account or contacted the fund) 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 appropriate state’s unclaimed property administrator, which is typically the state of your last known mailing address, in accordance with applicable unclaimed or abandoned property (escheatment) laws, which vary by state. Escheatment with respect to a retirement account is subject to a 10% federal withholding on the account. 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 1-800-820-0888 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.
The Funds and Guggenheim Investments will not be liable to investors or their representatives for good faith compliance with state unclaimed or abandoned property (escheatment) laws.

Distribution and Shareholder Services
CLASS A SHARES
The Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to Class A shares that allows each Fund to pay distribution fees to the Distributor and other firms that provide distribution-related services. Each Fund 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 BROKER-DEALERS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES
The Advisor, at its expense, may provide compensation to financial intermediaries for the sale of Fund shares. Such compensation, commonly referred to as “revenue sharing,” does not increase Fund expenses and is not reflected in the fees and expenses listed in the Funds’ expense tables in this Prospectus. Compensation may be in the form of cash payments or non-cash compensation and may include ticket charges, additional compensation for sales, on-going fees for shareholder servicing and maintenance of investor accounts, one-time payments for ancillary services, such as setting up the Funds on a financial intermediary’s fund trading system, and finder’s fees that vary depending on the Fund or share class and the dollar amount of shares sold. Cash and non-cash compensation may be paid, at the discretion of the Advisor, to certain financial intermediaries who have sold shares of the Funds, promoted the distribution of the Funds, or rendered investor services to Fund shareholders. For example, such payments may be made to financial intermediaries that provide services to the Funds and/or Fund shareholders, including, without limitation, shareholder servicing, marketing support and/or access to meetings and/or events, sales representatives and management representatives of the financial intermediaries.
Payments also may be paid to financial intermediaries for providing the Funds with access to third-party platforms, including mutual fund “supermarket” platforms, and for inclusion of a Fund on a sales list, including a preferred or select sales list, in other sales programs, or as an expense reimbursement or compensation in cases where the financial intermediary provides services to Fund shareholders. The Advisor also may pay expenses associated with meetings that facilitate educating financial intermediaries and shareholders about the Funds that are conducted by financial intermediaries. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Advisor and its affiliates may pay or allow other incentives and compensation to financial intermediaries. Such payments and compensation are in addition to any applicable sales charges, Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, and service fees paid by the Funds. The level of payments made to financial intermediaries will generally vary, but may be significant. The Advisor determines the extent of such payments in its sole discretion in response to requests from financial intermediaries, based on factors it deems relevant, such as the financial intermediary’s sales, assets, share class utilized, and the quality of the financial intermediary’s relationship with the Advisor. The Advisor periodically determines the advisability of continuing these payments. 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.
Sub-Transfer Agency Services. The Advisor, Distributor and Trust enter 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
PROSPECTUS | 151

reimbursed all or in part by the Funds, are substantial in some cases and are in addition to, rather than in lieu of, 12b-1 fees the financial intermediary also may be receiving pursuant to agreements with the Distributor. These payments increase the Funds’ operating expenses and reduce their investment performance.
Dividends and Distributions
TIMING OF PAYMENTS
Income dividends, if any, are paid at least annually by the Funds. If you own Fund shares on a Fund’s record date, you will be entitled to receive the dividend. The Funds may declare and pay dividends on the same date. Each Fund makes distributions of capital gains, if any, at least annually. Each Fund, however, may declare a special capital gains distribution if the Board of Trustees believes that such a distribution would be in the best interest of the shareholders of the Fund. You generally begin earning dividends, if applicable, on the business day following the day of your purchase of shares when your purchase of shares settles and will continue earning dividends up to and including the day of your redemption of shares. When you redeem only part of the shares you owned prior to a dividend payment date, you will usually receive the dividend payment of the redeemed shares with the dividend payment for the days you are a shareholder of record of those redeemed shares. Timing for receipt of dividends and distributions and related practices may depend on whether you invest with a Fund directly or through an intermediary.
DIVIDEND PAYMENT OPTIONS
If you invest in a Fund directly (and not through an intermediary), 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 but would like to receive cash payments, you must notify the Funds in writing to change your election prior to the date of the next distribution. Your election will become effective for dividends paid after the Funds receive your written notice. To cancel your election, simply send written notice to the Funds.
If you elect to receive cash payments, we encourage you to cash your dividends and distributions check promptly. Interest will not accrue on the amount of your uncashed check. Additionally, the Funds may be required to transfer assets related to uncashed checks to a state under the state’s escheatment or abandoned property laws.
Dividends and distributions with values of $25 or less may be automatically reinvested in additional Fund shares. In addition, if you elect to receive dividends and distributions in cash and you have not provided the Funds 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 Funds reserve the right to reinvest such dividends or distributions in additional Fund shares and absent further instruction from you, 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). When reinvested, those amounts are subject to the risk of loss like any other investment in the Funds.
If you invest in a Fund through an intermediary, please contact your financial intermediary for their policies and procedures regarding dividend and distribution payment options and related practices as well as changes to your elections.
Additional Tax Information
The following is a summary of certain important federal income tax issues that affect the Funds and their shareholders. The summary is based on current tax laws, which may be changed by legislative, judicial or administrative action. You should not consider this summary to be a comprehensive explanation of the tax treatment of the Funds, or the tax consequences of an investment in the Funds. More information about taxes is located in the SAI. You are urged to consult your tax adviser regarding specific questions as to U.S. federal, state and local taxes.
TAX STATUS OF EACH FUND
Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal tax purposes and has elected and intends to qualify for the special tax treatment afforded to regulated investment companies (“RICs”). As long as a Fund qualifies for treatment as a RIC, the Fund pays no federal income tax on the earnings it timely distributes to shareholders.
152 | PROSPECTUS

TAX STATUS OF DISTRIBUTIONS
Each Fund intends to, at least annually, distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains.
The income dividends you receive from the Funds will be taxed as either ordinary income or qualified dividend income.
For non-corporate shareholders, dividends are eligible for reduced maximum tax rates to the extent that the applicable Fund receives qualified dividend income and such Fund reports the dividend as qualified dividend income, subject to certain limitations. Qualified dividend income is, in general, dividend income from taxable domestic corporations and certain foreign corporations (i.e., foreign corporations incorporated in a possession of the United States or in countries with comprehensive tax treaties with the United States, and certain other foreign corporations if the stock with respect to which the dividend was paid is readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States). Certain Funds’ investment strategies may significantly limit their ability to distribute dividends eligible for treatment as qualified dividend income.
Distributions of a Fund’s short-term capital gains are taxable as ordinary income. Long-term capital gains will result from gains on the sale or exchange of capital assets held by the Funds for more than one year. Any distributions of net capital gain (the excess of a Fund’s net long-term capital gains over its net short-term capital losses) that you receive from a Fund are taxable as long-term capital gains regardless of how long you have owned your shares. Long-term capital gains are taxable to non-corporate shareholders at reduced maximum rates.
Dividends and distributions are generally taxable to you whether you receive them in cash or in additional shares.
Corporate shareholders may be entitled to a dividends-received deduction for any portion of dividends they receive that are attributable to dividends received by a Fund from U.S. corporations, subject to certain limitations. Certain Funds’ investment strategies may significantly limit their ability to distribute dividends eligible for the dividends-received deduction.
Distributions paid in January but declared by the Funds in October, November or December of the previous year may be taxable to you in the previous year.
You should note that if you purchase shares just before a distribution, the purchase price would reflect the amount of the upcoming distribution. In this case, you would be taxed on the entire amount of the distribution received, even though, as an economic matter, the distribution simply constitutes a return of your investment. This is known as “buying a dividend” and generally should be avoided by taxable investors.
Shortly after the close of each calendar year, the Funds will inform you of the amount of your ordinary income dividends, qualified dividend income, and net capital gain distributions received from the Funds.
If you hold your shares in a tax-qualified retirement account, you generally will not be subject to federal taxation on Fund distributions until you begin receiving distributions from your retirement account. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the tax rules that apply to your retirement account.
Each Fund may invest in complex securities. These investments may be subject to numerous special and complex rules. These rules could affect a Fund's ability to qualify as a RIC, affect whether gains and losses recognized by a Fund are treated as ordinary income or capital gain, accelerate the recognition of income to a Fund and/or defer a Fund’s ability to recognize losses. In turn, these rules may affect the amount, timing or character of the income distributed to you by a Fund.
“Qualified REIT dividends” (i.e., ordinary REIT dividends other than capital gain dividends and portions of REIT dividends designated as qualified dividend income eligible for capital gain tax rates) are eligible for a 20% deduction by non-corporate taxpayers. This deduction, if allowed in full, equates to a maximum effective tax rate of 29.6% (37% top rate applied to income after 20% deduction). Distributions by a Fund to its shareholders that are attributable to qualified REIT dividends received by the Fund and which the Fund properly reports as “section 199A dividends,” are treated as “qualified REIT dividends” in the hands of non-corporate shareholders. A section 199A dividend is treated as a qualified REIT dividend only if the shareholder receiving such dividend holds the dividend-paying RIC shares for at least 46 days of the 91-day period beginning 45 days before the shares become ex-dividend, and is not under an obligation to make related payments with respect to a position in substantially similar or related property. A Fund is permitted to report such part of its dividends as section 199A dividends as are eligible but is not required to do so.
TAX STATUS OF SHARE TRANSACTIONS
Each sale, exchange, or redemption of Fund shares will generally be a taxable event to you. Assuming you hold a Fund’s shares as capital assets, the gain or loss on the sale of Fund shares generally will be treated as a short-term capital gain or loss if you held the shares for 12 months or less or as long-term capital gain or loss if you
PROSPECTUS | 153

held the shares for longer. Any loss realized upon a taxable disposition of Fund shares held for six months or less will be treated as long-term, rather than short-term, to the extent of any long-term capital gain distributions received (or deemed received) by you with respect to Fund shares. All or a portion of any loss realized upon a taxable disposition of Fund shares will be disallowed if you purchase other substantially identical shares within 30 days before or after the disposition. In such a case, the basis of the newly purchased shares will be adjusted to reflect the disallowed loss. You should consider the tax consequences of any redemption or exchange before making such a request, especially with respect to redemptions if you invest in the Funds through a tax-qualified retirement plan.
NET INVESTMENT INCOME TAX
U.S. individuals with income exceeding certain thresholds are subject to a 3.8% tax on all or a portion of their “net investment income,” which includes interest, dividends, and certain capital gains (including capital gains realized on the sale or exchange of shares of a Fund). This 3.8% tax also applies to all or a portion of the undistributed net investment income of certain shareholders that are estates and trusts.
STATE TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The Funds are not liable for corporate tax in Delaware as long as they qualify as RICs for federal income tax purposes. In addition to federal taxes, distributions by the Funds and ownership of Fund shares may be subject to state and local taxes. You should consult your tax adviser regarding how state and local tax laws affect your investment in Fund shares.
COST BASIS
Each Fund is generally required to report cost basis, gain or loss, and holding period information to you and the IRS when "covered shares" are sold or redeemed. Shares acquired on or after January 1, 2012 are generally considered covered shares. A Fund will use a default average cost basis method for reporting your cost basis for covered shares unless you instruct us to use another method. Under the average cost basis method, the basis per share is reported as an average of the bases of your Fund shares in the account. For these purposes, covered shares and non-covered shares are treated as held in separate accounts. If you wish to choose another default cost basis method for your account you may select from among FIFO (“first-in-first-out”), LIFO (“last-in-first-out”) and HIFO (“highest-cost-in-first-out”). For redemptions of shares acquired before January 1, 2012 (“non-covered shares”), a Fund is 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 method policies. For more information about your financial intermediary’s rules and procedures, you should contact your financial intermediary directly. Fund shareholders should consult with their tax advisers prior to making redemptions to determine the best IRS accepted cost basis method for their tax situation and to obtain more information about the cost basis reporting rules.
NON-U.S. INVESTORS
Foreign shareholders (i.e., non-resident alien individuals and foreign corporations, partnerships, trusts and estates) are generally subject to U.S. withholding tax at the rate of 30% (or a lower tax treaty rate) on distributions derived from net investment income. A Fund may, under certain circumstances, report all or a portion of a dividend as an “interest-related dividend” or a “short-term capital gain dividend,” which would generally be exempt from this 30% U.S. withholding tax, provided certain other requirements are met. Distributions to foreign shareholders of long-term capital gains and any gains from the sale or other disposition of shares of the Funds generally are not subject to U.S. taxation, unless the recipient is an individual who either (1) meets the definition of “resident alien” under the Internal Revenue Code or (2) is physically present in the United States for 183 days or more per year. Different tax consequences may result if the foreign shareholder is engaged in a trade or business within the United States. In addition, the tax consequences to a foreign shareholder entitled to claim the benefits of a tax treaty may be different than those described above.

The financial highlights tables are intended to help you understand each Fund’s financial performance for the past five years. Certain information reflects financial results for a single Fund share. The total returns in the tables 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 audited by Ernst & Young LLP, the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm, whose report, along with the Funds’ financial statements and related notes, are included in the Funds’ financial statements filed on Form N-CSR. The financial statements are available upon request and are incorporated by reference in the SAI.

Appendix A – Sales Charge Waivers and Discounts Available Through Intermediaries
The availability of initial and contingent deferred sales charge waivers and discounts may depend on the particular financial intermediary or type of account through which you purchase or hold Fund shares. For waivers or discounts not available through a particular financial intermediary, investors will have to purchase shares directly from the Fund (or the Distributor) or through another financial intermediary to receive such waivers or discounts. Financial intermediaries may have different policies and procedures regarding the waivers and discounts set forth in this Appendix. These sales charge waivers and/or discounts are implemented and administered by the applicable financial intermediary. The applicable financial intermediary is responsible for the implementation and administration of these sales charge waivers and/or discounts.
In all instances, it is an investor's responsibility to notify the financial intermediary of any facts that may qualify the investor for sales charge waivers or discounts. These waivers or discounts (and their terms and availability) may vary from those disclosed elsewhere in the Prospectus and are subject to change at any time. You may wish to contact your financial intermediary for more information regarding the sales charge waivers and discounts available to you and the intermediary's related policies and procedures, including with respect to eligibility requirements, and to ensure that you have the most current information regarding waivers and discounts available to you.

Shares exchanged from Class C shares of the same fund in the month of or following the seven- year anniversary of the purchase date. To the extent that this Prospectus elsewhere provides for a waiver with respect to such shares following a shorter holding period, that waiver will apply to exchanges following such shorter period. To the extent that this Prospectus elsewhere provides for a waiver with respect to exchanges of Class C shares for load waived shares, that waiver will also apply to such exchanges.
Shares purchased by employees and registered representatives of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates and their immediate family members.

PROSPECTUS | A-1

grandmother, grandfather, great grandmother, great grandfather), advisor's lineal descendant (son, step-son, daughter, step-daughter, grandson, granddaughter, great grandson, great granddaughter) or any spouse of a covered family member who is a lineal descendant.
Shares purchased from the proceeds of redemptions within the same fund family, provided (1) the repurchase occurs within 90 days following the redemption, (2) the redemption and purchase occur in the same account, and (3) redeemed shares were subject to a front-end or deferred sales load (i.e. Rights of Reinstatement).
CDSC waivers on Class A and C shares purchased through Ameriprise Financial

Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P. (“Edward Jones”)
Effective on or after August 28, 2024, the following information supersedes prior information with respect to transactions and positions held in fund shares through an Edward Jones system. Clients of Edward Jones (also referred to as "shareholders") purchasing fund shares on the Edward Jones commission and fee-based platforms are eligible only for the following sales charge discounts (also referred to as "breakpoints") and waivers, which can differ from discounts and waivers described elsewhere in the mutual fund prospectus or statement of additional information ("SAI") or through another broker-dealer. In all instances, it is the shareholder's responsibility to inform Edward Jones at the time of purchase of any relationship, holdings of Guggenheim Family of Funds, or other facts qualifying the purchaser for discounts or waivers. Edward Jones can ask for documentation of such circumstance. Shareholders should contact Edward Jones if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and waivers.
Breakpoints
Breakpoint pricing, otherwise known as volume pricing, at dollar thresholds as described in the Prospectus.
Rights of Accumulation (“ROA”)
The applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares is determined by taking into account all share classes (except certain money market funds and any assets held in group retirement plans) of Guggenheim Family of Funds held by the shareholder or in an account grouped by Edward Jones with other accounts for the purpose of providing certain pricing considerations ("pricing groups"). If grouping assets as a shareholder, this includes all share classes held on the Edward Jones platform and/or held on another platform. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets at the time of calculation. Money market funds are included only if such shares were sold with a sales charge at the time of purchase or acquired in exchange for shares purchased with a sales charge.
The employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan may elect to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping as opposed to including all share classes at a shareholder or pricing group level.
A-2 | PROSPECTUS

ROA is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or market value (current shares x NAV).
Letter of Intent (“LOI”)
Through a LOI, shareholders can receive the sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period to calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the LOI calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets at the time of calculation. Purchases made before the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not adjusted under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges will be adjusted if LOI is not met.
If the employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan has elected to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the employer.
Sales Charge Waivers
Sales charges are waived for the following shareholders and in the following situations:
Associates of Edward Jones and its affiliates and other accounts in the same pricing group (as determined by Edward Jones under its policies and procedures) as the associate. This waiver will continue for the remainder of the associate's life if the associate retires from Edward Jones in good-standing and remains in good standing pursuant to Edward Jones' policies and procedures.
Shares purchased in an Edward Jones fee-based program.
Shares purchased through reinvestment of capital gains distributions and dividend reinvestment.
Shares purchased from the proceeds of redeemed shares of the same fund family so long as the following conditions are met: the proceeds are from the sale of shares within 60 days of the purchase, the sale and purchase are made from a share class that charges a front load and one of the following (“Right of Reinstatement”):
The redemption and repurchase occur in the same account.
The redemption proceeds are used to process an: IRA contribution, excess contributions, conversion, recharacterizing of contributions, or distribution, and the repurchase is done in an account within the same Edward Jones grouping for ROA.
The Right of Reinstatement excludes systematic or automatic transactions including, but not limited to, purchases made through payroll deductions, liquidations to cover account fees, and reinvestments from non-mutual fund products.
Shares exchanged into Class A shares from another share class so long as the exchange is into the same fund and was initiated at the discretion of Edward Jones. Edward Jones is responsible for any remaining CDSC due to the fund company, if applicable. Any future purchases are subject to the applicable sales charge as disclosed in the Prospectus.
Exchanges from Class C shares to Class A shares of the same fund, generally, in the 84th month following the anniversary of the purchase date or earlier at the discretion of Edward Jones.
Purchases of Class 529-A shares through a rollover from either another education savings plan or a security used for qualified distributions.
Purchases of Class 529-A shares made for recontribution of refunded amounts.
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (“CDSC”) Waivers

The death or disability of the shareholder.
Systematic withdrawals with up to 10% per year of the account value.

The Funds are very different from most mutual funds in that they seek to provide leveraged or leveraged inverse investment results on a daily basis and are intended to be used as short-term trading vehicles. The Funds are not intended to be used by, and are not appropriate for, investors who do not intend to actively manage and monitor their portfolios. Each Leveraged Inverse Fund pursues an investment goal which is inverse to 200% of the performance of its underlying index, a result opposite of most other mutual funds. Investors should note that the pursuit of such leveraged and leveraged inverse investment goals has the following implications: • The Funds are riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the performance of an investment in a Fund is magnified. • The effect of leverage on a Fund will generally cause the Fund’s performance to not match the performance of the Fund’s benchmark (i.e.., 200% or -200% of the performance of its underlying index) over a period of time greater than one day. This means that the return of a Fund for a period of longer than a single trading day will be the result of each day’s compounded returns over the period, which will very likely differ from the return of the Fund’s benchmark for that period. As a consequence, especially during periods of market volatility, the path or trend of the benchmark during the longer period may be at least as important to the Fund’s cumulative return for the longer period as the cumulative return of the benchmark for the relevant longer period. Further, the return for investors who invest for a period longer than a single trading day will not be the product of the return of a Fund’s stated investment goal (i.e., 2x or -2x) and the cumulative performance of the Fund’s benchmark. In addition, as a result of compounding, a Fund’s performance for periods greater than one day is likely to be either greater than or less than the performance of the Fund’s underlying index times the stated multiple in the Fund’s investment objective, before accounting for fees and fund expenses.
The Funds are not suitable for all investors. The Funds are designed to be utilized only by sophisticated investors, such as traders and active investors employing dynamic strategies. Investors in the Funds should: (a) understand the risks associated with the use of leverage, (b) understand the consequences of seeking daily leveraged investment results, (c) for the Leveraged Inverse Funds, understand the risks of shorting, and (d)  intend to actively manage and monitor their investments. Investors who do not understand the Funds or do not actively manage and monitor their investments should not buy shares of the Funds.
Each Leveraged Fund seeks daily exposure to its underlying index equal to 200% of its net assets. Each Leveraged Inverse Fund seeks daily exposure to its underlying index equal to -200% of its net assets. As a consequence, for each Fund the risk of total loss of your investment exists in the event of a movement of the Fund’s underlying index in excess of 50% in a direction adverse to the Fund (meaning a decline in the value of the underlying index of a Leveraged Fund and a gain in the value of the underlying index of a Leveraged Inverse Fund). In short, the risk of total loss of your investment exists.
There is no assurance that any Fund will achieve its investment objective and an investment in a Fund could lose money. No single Fund is a complete investment program.

S&P 500® 2x Strategy Fund
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The S&P 500® 2x Strategy Fund (the “Fund”) is very different from most other mutual funds in that it seeks daily leveraged investment results. As a result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the performance of an investment in the Fund is magnified.
The effect of leverage on the Fund will generally cause the Fund’s performance to not match the performance of the Fund’s benchmark (as described below) over a period of time greater than a single trading day. This means that the return of the Fund for a period of longer than a single trading day will be the result of each day’s compounded returns over the period, which will very likely differ from twice the return of the Fund’s underlying index (as defined below) for that period. As a consequence, especially in periods of market volatility, the path or trend of the benchmark during the longer period may be at least as important to the Fund’s cumulative return for the longer period as the cumulative return of the benchmark for the relevant longer period. Further, the return for investors who invest for a period longer than a single trading day will not be the product of the return of the Fund’s stated investment goal (i.e., 2x) and the cumulative performance of the benchmark.
The Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund should be utilized only by investors who (a) understand the risks associated with the use of leverage, (b) understand the consequences of seeking daily leveraged investment results, and (c) intend to actively monitor and manage their investments. Investors who do not meet these criteria should not buy shares of the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a complete investment program.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The Fund seeks to provide investment results that match, before fees and expenses, the performance of a specific benchmark on a daily basis. The Fund’s current benchmark is 200% of the performance of the S&P 500® Index (the “underlying index”). The Fund does not seek to achieve its investment objective over a period of time greater than one day.
FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE FUND
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell Class H shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.

“Other Expenses” does not include fees paid to the Fund’s swap contract counterparties, or the management fees, performance fees, and expenses of the reference assets or trading vehicles underlying such swap contracts. These fees and expenses, which are not reflected in this Annual Fund Operating Expenses table, are embedded in the returns of the swap contracts (i.e., the fees and expenses reduce the investment returns of the swap contracts) and represent an indirect cost of investing in the Fund.

The Advisor has contractually agreed, through August 1, 2027, to waive and/or reimburse the Fund’s expenses in an amount equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. In addition, the Advisor also has contractually agreed, through August 1, 2027, to waive and/or reimburse the Fund’s expenses in an additional amount equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Each agreement shall automatically renew for one-year terms unless the Advisor provides written notice to the Fund of the termination of the agreement. Each agreement may be terminated at any time by the Fund’s Board of Trustees and when the Advisor ceases to serve as such.

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 your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
1 Year
3 Years
5 Years
10 Years
$180
$578
$1,002
$2,182
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 the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 1445% of the average value of its portfolio. The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments and most derivatives. If such instruments were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate might be significantly higher.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Fund employs as its investment strategy a program of investing in the common stock of companies that are generally within the capitalization range of the underlying index and derivative instruments, which primarily consist of equity index swaps and swaps on exchange-traded funds, futures contracts, and options on securities, futures contracts, and stock indices. While the Fund may write (sell) and purchase swaps, it expects primarily to purchase swaps. Swap agreements and futures and options contracts, if used properly, may enable the Fund to meet its objective by increasing the Fund’s exposure to the securities included in the underlying index or in the same proportion that those securities are represented in the Fund's benchmark. The Fund’s investment in derivatives referencing (i) the underlying index, or (ii) securities included in the underlying index, serves as a substitute for investments in each of the securities of companies included in the underlying index and will be counted towards the Fund’s 80% investment policy (as set forth below). The Advisor attempts to consistently apply leverage to increase the Fund's exposure to 200% of the underlying index, and expects to rebalance the Fund’s holdings daily to maintain such exposure. The Fund’s use of derivatives and the leveraged investment exposure created by such use are expected to be significant. Certain of the Fund’s derivatives investments may be traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in securities of companies included in the S&P 500® Index and financial instruments with economic characteristics that should perform similarly to the securities of companies in the S&P 500® Index.
The S&P 500® Index is a capitalization-weighted index composed of approximately 500 common stocks, which are chosen by the Standard & Poor’s Corporation on a statistical basis, and which generally represent large-capitalization companies with capitalizations ranging from $6.7 billion to $4.8 trillion as of June 30, 2026. Certain of the companies included in the S&P 500® Index may be structured as real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). To the extent the Fund’s underlying index is concentrated in a particular industry the Fund will necessarily be concentrated in that industry. As of June 30, 2026, the underlying index components, and thus the Fund's investments, are concentrated (i.e., more than 25% of its assets) in securities issued by companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry, a separate industry within the Information Technology Sector. The industries in which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund's investments, may be concentrated will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. Also, while the Fund’s sector exposure may vary over time, as of June 30, 2026, the Fund has significant exposure to the Communication Services Sector, Consumer Discretionary Sector, Consumer Staples Sector, Financials Sector, Health Care Sector, Industrials Sector, and Information Technology Sector, as each sector is defined by the Global Industry Classification Standard, a widely recognized industry classification methodology developed by MSCI, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC.
On a day-to-day basis, the Fund may hold short-term U.S. government securities or cash equivalents. The Fund also may enter into repurchase agreements with counterparties that are deemed to present acceptable credit risks. In an effort to ensure that the Fund is fully invested on a day-to-day basis, the Fund may conduct any necessary trading activity at or just prior to the close of the U.S. financial markets. 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.
2 | PROSPECTUS

Investments in derivative instruments, such as futures, options and swap agreements, have the economic effect of creating financial leverage in the Fund’s portfolio because such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the amount the Fund has invested in those instruments. Financial leverage will magnify, sometimes significantly, the Fund’s exposure to any increase or decrease in prices associated with a particular reference asset resulting in increased volatility in the value of the Fund’s portfolio. The value of the Fund’s portfolio is likely to experience greater volatility over short-term periods. While such financial leverage has the potential to produce greater gains, it also may result in greater losses, which in some cases may cause the Fund to liquidate other portfolio investments at a loss to comply with limits on leverage imposed by the Investment Company Act of 1940, satisfy margin or collateral requirements, or meet redemption requests.
PRINCIPAL RISKS
The value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate and is subject to investment risks, which means investors could lose money, including all or part of their investment in the Fund. 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. An investment in the Fund does not constitute a complete investment program. The Fund is subject to certain risks and the principal risks of investing in the Fund are summarized below in alphabetical order, and not in the order of importance or potential exposure. The relative significance of each principal risk summarized below may change over time and you should review each risk carefully because any one or more of these risks may result in losses to the Fund. Please see “More Information About the Trust and the Funds – Principal Risks” in the Fund’s Prospectus for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund.
Compounding Risk—In addition to the correlation risks described under “Correlation Risk”, the Fund’s returns are subject to the effects of compounding, which generally will cause the Fund’s performance to not correlate to the performance of the benchmark over periods greater than a single day, before accounting for fees and fund expenses. Compounded returns are the result of reinvesting daily returns over periods greater than a single day. The Fund’s compounded returns for periods greater than a single day will be different than the performance of the benchmark over the same period. The effects of compounding on the performance of the Fund will be more pronounced when the underlying index experiences increased volatility, the greater the leverage employed in the Fund, and over longer holding periods.
Compounding affects the performance of all investments over time, but has a more significant effect on a leveraged index fund because the magnified changes in performance produced by the use of leverage lead to greater increases and decreases in the fund’s daily returns which are then compounded over time. The effects of compounding, therefore, have a more significant effect on the Fund because it seeks to match a multiple of the performance of the Fund’s underlying index on a daily basis.
Fund performance for periods greater than one day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: (a) underlying index performance; (b) underlying index volatility; (c) financing rates associated with leverage; (d) other Fund expenses; (e) dividends or interest paid by companies in the underlying index; and (f) period of time. The table below illustrates the impact of two principal factors – volatility and index performance – on Fund performance. The table shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of performance and volatility over a one-year period. Performance shown in the table assumes: (a) no dividends paid by the companies included in the underlying index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) a cost of leverage of zero percent. If Fund expenses, including the cost of leverage, were included, the Fund’s performance would be lower than shown.

The underlying index’s annualized historical volatility rate for the five-year period ended June 30, 2026 is 15.85%. The underlying index’s highest one-year volatility rate during the five-year period is 20.58%. The underlying index’s annualized performance for the five-year period ended June 30, 2026 is 13.41%.
Historical underlying index volatility and performance are not indications of what the underlying index volatility and performance will be in the future. The table is intended to isolate the effects of the underlying index volatility and index performance on the return of the Fund, and underscore that the Fund is designed as a short-term trading vehicle for investors who intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios.
Correlation Risk—A number of factors may affect the Fund’s ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with its benchmark, including instances in which the Fund does not hold or have exposure to each component security of the underlying index and the effect of compounding on the Fund’s returns, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The Fund does not attempt to, and should not be expected to, provide returns  which are a multiple of the returns of the underlying index for periods other than a single day. The risk of the Fund not achieving its daily investment objective will be more acute when the underlying index has an extreme one-day movement approaching 50%. In addition, as a result of compounding, the Fund’s performance for periods greater than a single day is likely to be either greater than or less than the performance of the underlying index times the stated multiple in the Fund’s investment objective, before accounting for Fund fees and expenses.
Counterparty Credit Risk—The Fund makes investments in financial instruments and 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, to hedge a position, or for other investment purposes. Through these investments and related arrangements (e.g., prime brokerage or securities lending arrangements or derivatives transactions), the Fund is exposed to credit risks that the counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments or otherwise to meet its contractual obligations. If the counterparty becomes insolvent or defaults on (or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling to perform) its payment or other obligations to the
4 | PROSPECTUS

Fund, the Fund may not receive the full amount that it is entitled to receive or may experience delays in recovering the collateral or other assets held by, or on behalf of, the counterparty. If this occurs, the value of your shares in the Fund will decrease. Counterparty credit risk also includes the related risk of having potentially significant exposure to such counterparty.
Derivatives Risk—Derivatives and other instruments (collectively referred to in this paragraph as “derivatives”) pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other investments, including risks relating to leverage, market conditions and market risk, imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, high price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty credit, liquidity, valuation, operational and legal restrictions and risk. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. In addition, 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. Changes in the value of a derivative also may create sudden margin delivery or settlement payment obligations for the Fund, which can materially affect the performance of the Fund, its liquidity, and other aspects of the Fund’s risk profile. The Fund’s use of derivatives to obtain short exposure, if any,  may result in greater volatility of the Fund's net asset value (“NAV”) per share. If the Advisor is incorrect about its expectations of market conditions, the use of derivatives also could result in a loss, which in some cases may be unlimited. Certain risks are specific to the particular type of derivative instrument in which the Fund may invest. For example, 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 counterparty, credit, legal, liquidity and valuation risks.
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 include imperfect correlation between the movements in the price of the instruments and the price of the underlying assets. In addition, there is a 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 futures positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Advisor, 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 also are subject to leverage and liquidity risks. The Fund may invest in standard futures contracts, e-mini futures contracts, and micro e-mini futures contracts depending on the investment exposure needs of the Fund. E-mini futures contracts and micro e-mini futures contracts are similar to standard futures contracts, except that they are electronically traded and e-mini futures contracts generally are one-fifth the size of standard futures contracts and micro e-mini futures contracts generally are one-tenth the size of e-mini futures contracts.
Options Risk—Options and 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. Options are subject to correlation risk because there may be an imperfect correlation between the options and the markets for underlying instruments that could cause a given transaction to fail to achieve its objectives. The successful use of options depends on the Advisor’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 options positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Advisor, thus limiting the ability to implement the Fund’s strategies. Options also are particularly subject to leverage risk and can be subject to liquidity risk.
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, for certain standardized swaps, must be traded on a designated contract market or swap execution facility. 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. While exchange trading and central clearing are intended to reduce counterparty credit risk and increase liquidity, they 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, which could increase the cost of swap transactions to the Fund and impose added operational complexity.
Early Closing Risk—The Fund is subject to the risk that unanticipated early closings of securities exchanges and other financial markets may result in the Fund’s inability to buy or sell securities or other financial instruments on that day and may cause the Fund to incur substantial trading losses.
PROSPECTUS | 5

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 more than those of 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.
Industry Concentration Risk—The Fund may concentrate its investments in a limited number of issuers conducting business in the same industry or group of related industries. To the extent the Fund does so, the Fund is more vulnerable to adverse market, economic, regulatory, political or other developments affecting that industry or group of related industries than a fund that invests its assets more broadly. As of June 30, 2026, the underlying index components, and thus the Fund's investments, are concentrated in securities issued by companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry. As a result of the Fund’s concentration in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry, the Fund is subject to the risks associated with that Industry. The Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry includes manufacturers of semiconductor equipment, including equipment used in the solar power industry (e.g., raw wafers, gases, liquids and related packaging and material delivery systems), and semiconductors and related products, including manufacturers of solar modules, cells, integrated circuit devices, diodes and light-emitting diodes (LEDs), microprocessors and chips. Companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry rely heavily on technology. The prices of the securities of companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry may fluctuate widely due to competitive pressures, increased sensitivity to short product cycles and aggressive pricing, heavy expenses incurred for research and development of products or services that prove unsuccessful, problems related to bringing products to market, and rapid obsolescence of products. Legislative or regulatory changes and increased government supervision also may affect companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry. The Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry is a separate industry within the Information Technology Sector.
Interest Rate Risk—Fixed income and other debt instruments are subject to the possibility that interest rates could change (or are expected to change). Changes in interest rates (or the expectation of such changes) can be difficult to forecast and may adversely affect the Fund’s investments in these instruments, such as the value or liquidity of, and income generated by, the investments. Interest rates may change as a result of a variety of factors, and the change may be sudden and significant, with unpredictable impacts on the financial markets and the Fund’s investments. Fixed income and other debt instruments with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates and, thus, subject to more volatility than similar instruments with shorter durations. Generally, when interest rates increase, the values of previously issued fixed income and other debt instruments decline and when interest rates decrease, the values of fixed income and other debt instruments rise. During periods of rising interest rates, changes in interest rates on adjustable rate securities may lag behind changes in market rates, which may cause the value of such securities to decline until their interest rates reset to market rates. During periods of declining interest rates, because the interest rates on adjustable rate securities generally reset downward, their market value is unlikely to rise to the same extent as the value of comparable fixed rate securities. The Fund’s yield, returns, and performance may be adversely affected by changing interest rates and the Fund’s NAV per share may be more volatile during changing interest rate environments. Changes in fiscal, economic, monetary and other policies or measures have in the past, and may in the future, cause or exacerbate the risks associated with changing interest rates. Changes in interest rates may also lead to an increase in Fund redemptions, which may result in high portfolio turnover costs and lower valuations, thereby adversely affecting the Fund’s performance.
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.
Leveraging Risk—The Fund achieves leveraged exposure to the underlying index through the use of derivative instruments. The more the Fund invests in leveraged instruments, the more this leverage will magnify any losses on those investments. The Fund’s investment in these instruments generally requires a small investment relative to the amount of investment exposure assumed. As a result, such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the
6 | PROSPECTUS

amount invested in those instruments. Since the Fund’s investment strategy involves consistently applied leverage, the value of the Fund’s shares will tend to increase or decrease more than the value of any increase or decrease in the underlying index. Leverage will have the effect of magnifying tracking error and also may increase the Fund’s sensitivity to various risks and interest rate environments.
Liquidity and Valuation Risk—It may be difficult for the Fund to purchase and sell particular investments to meet redemption requests or otherwise within a reasonable time at a fair price, or the price at which it has been valued by the Advisor for purposes of the Fund’s NAV, causing the Fund to be less liquid and unable to realize what the Advisor 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. Liquidity and valuation risks are heightened in a changing interest rate or volatile environment particularly for fixed-income and other debt instruments.
Market Risk—The value of, or income generated by, the investments held by the Fund may fluctuate rapidly and unpredictably. These fluctuations may be frequent and significant. In addition, the Fund may incur losses as a result of various market and economic factors, such as those affecting (or perceived to affect) individual companies or issuers or particular industries, or from broader influences, such as general market conditions. In addition, responses to government actions or interventions (including, but not limited, to the threat or imposition of tariffs, trade restrictions, currency restrictions or similar actions) as well as developments related to economic, political (including geopolitical), social, public health, market, extreme weather, natural or man-made disasters or other conditions or events may cause volatility in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and/or debt markets, which could adversely impact the Fund and its investments and their value and performance. Under such conditions, the Fund (or an underlying fund) may experience significant redemption activity by shareholders and could be forced to sell portfolio securities or other assets at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate sufficient cash to pay redeeming shareholders. Certain securities may be difficult to value under such conditions. The Fund’s investments may perform poorly or underperform the general securities markets or other types of securities.
Non-Diversification Risk—The Fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single issuer's securities could cause greater fluctuations in the value of Fund shares than would occur in a diversified fund. The Fund may become diversified for periods of time solely as a result of changes in the composition of the underlying index (e.g., changes in the relative market capitalization or weights of one or more index component stocks).
OTC Trading Risk—Certain of the derivatives in which the Fund may invest may be traded (and privately negotiated) in the OTC market. While the OTC derivatives market is the primary trading venue for many derivatives, it is largely unregulated and provides for less transparency than a national securities or commodities exchange. As a result and similar to other privately negotiated contracts, the Fund is subject to counterparty credit risk with respect to such derivatives contracts.
Passive Investment Risk—The Fund is not actively managed and the Advisor does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. Therefore, the Fund may be subject to greater losses in a declining market than a fund that is actively managed.
Portfolio Turnover Risk—Periodic rebalancing of the Fund's holdings  pursuant to its daily investment objective may lead to a greater number of portfolio transactions in the Fund than experienced by other mutual funds. Such frequent and active trading may lead to significantly higher transaction costs because of increased broker commissions associated with such transactions.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) Risk—REITs are classified as equity REITs, mortgage REITs or hybrid REITs. Equity REITs own real estate directly and the value of, and income earned by, the REITs depends upon the income of the underlying properties and the rental income they earn. Mortgage REITs make construction, development or long-term mortgage loans and are sensitive to the credit quality of the borrower. Mortgage REITs derive their income from interest earned on such mortgage loans. Hybrid REITs generally hold both ownership interests and mortgage interests in real estate. In addition to the risks pertaining to real estate investments more generally, REITs may be subject to additional risks, including risks associated with the direct ownership of real property, including declines in the value of real estate, risks related to general and local economic conditions, overbuilding and increased competition, increases in property taxes and operating expenses and variations in rental
PROSPECTUS | 7

income. REITs (especially mortgage REITs) also are subject to interest rate and prepayment 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. U.S. REITs also are 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.
Regulatory and Legal Risk—U.S. and non-U.S. governmental agencies and other regulators regularly implement additional regulations (or amend regulations) and legislators pass new laws that affect the investments held by the Fund, the strategies used by the Fund and/or the level of regulation or taxation applicable to the Fund, its investments or service providers. These developments impact the investment strategies, performance, costs and operations of the Fund or taxation of shareholders.
Repurchase Agreement Risk—The Fund’s investment in repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk with respect to the collateral securing the repurchase agreements. Investments in repurchase agreements also may be subject to the risk that the market value of the underlying obligations may decline prior to the expiration of the repurchase agreement term.
Sector Risk—To the extent the components of the Fund’s underlying index, and therefore, the Fund’s holdings, have significant exposure to one or more market sectors, the Fund may be especially sensitive to the developments affecting and risks of such market sectors. The sectors to which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund’s assets, may have significant exposure will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. As of June 30, 2026, the Fund is subject to the Sector Risks described below.
Communication Services Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Communication Services Sector. The Communication Services Sector includes companies that facilitate communication and offer related content and information through various mediums. It includes telecom and media & entertainment companies, including producers of interactive gaming products and companies engaged in content and information creation or distribution through proprietary platforms. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Communication Services Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Communication Services Sector has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall economy and also is affected by economic growth, consumer confidence, attitudes and spending. Increased sensitivity to short product cycles and aggressive pricing, challenges in bringing products to market and changes in demographics and consumer tastes also can affect the demand for, and success of, communication services products and services in the marketplace.
Consumer Discretionary Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Consumer Discretionary Sector. The manufacturing segment of the Consumer Discretionary Sector includes automobiles and components, household durable goods, leisure products, and textiles and apparel. The services segment includes hotels, restaurants and other leisure facilities, and distributors and retailers of consumer discretionary products. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Consumer Discretionary Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Consumer Discretionary Sector has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall economy, and also is affected by economic growth, consumer confidence, attitudes and spending. Changes in demographics and consumer tastes also can affect the demand for, and success of, consumer products and services in the marketplace. Moreover, the Consumer Discretionary Sector encompasses those businesses that tend to be the most sensitive to economic cycles.
Consumer Staples Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Consumer Staples Sector. The Consumer Staples Sector includes manufacturers and distributors of food, beverages and tobacco and producers of non-durable household goods and personal products. The Consumer Staples Sector also includes distributors and retailers of other consumer staples products, including food and drug retailing companies. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Consumer Staples Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Consumer
8 | PROSPECTUS

Staples Sector has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall economy, and also is affected by consumer confidence, demands and preferences, and spending. In addition, companies in the Consumer Staples Sector may be subject to risks pertaining to the supply of, demand for, and prices of raw materials.
Financials Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Financials Sector. The Financials Sector includes companies involved in banking, financial services (including commercial and residential mortgage finance), consumer finance, capital markets (including asset management and custody banks, investment banking and brokerage), Mortgage Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), and insurance. Certain Financials Sector issuers serve as counterparties with which the Fund may enter into derivatives agreements or other similar contractual arrangements. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Financials Sector, which may adversely affect a company's ability to fulfill its obligations as a financial counterparty. Companies operating in the Financials Sector are subject to extensive government regulation, which may limit the financial commitments they can make and the interest rates and fees they can charge. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and may fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition.
Health Care Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Health Care Sector. The Health Care Sector includes health care providers and services, companies that manufacture and distribute health care equipment and supplies, and health care technology companies. It also includes companies involved in the research, development, production and marketing of pharmaceuticals and biotechnology products. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Health Care Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Health Care Sector is closely tied to government regulation and policies (such as health care reform measures) and may be affected by government approval of products and services, competitive pricing pressures, rising costs of medical products and services, product obsolescence, and product liability and other similar litigation. In addition, companies operating in the Health Care Sector are heavily dependent on patent and other intellectual property rights, and a company’s ability to obtain and protect its patents (or the failure to do so) may affect profitability.
Industrials Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Industrials Sector. The Industrials Sector includes manufacturers and distributors of capital goods, such as aerospace and defense, building projects, electrical equipment and machinery, and companies that offer construction and engineering services. The Industrials Sector also includes providers of commercial and professional services including printing, environmental and facilities services, office services and supplies, security and alarm services, human resource and employment services, research and consulting services, and transportation services. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Industrials Sector. The prices of the securities of companies operating in the Industrials Sector may fluctuate due to the level and volatility of commodity prices, the exchange value of the dollar and economic conditions, import controls, worldwide competition, product liability claims, liability for environmental damage, depletion of resources, and mandated expenditures for safety and pollution control devices. In addition, the products of companies operating in the Industrials Sector may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments and the rapid introduction of new products.
Information Technology Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Information Technology Sector. The Information Technology Sector includes companies that offer software and information technology services, manufacturers and distributors of technology hardware and equipment (such as communications equipment, cellular phones, computers and peripherals), electronic equipment and related equipment and materials, and semiconductors and related equipment and materials. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Information Technology Sector. Companies in the Information Technology Sector may be affected by limited product lines, market competition (both domestically and internationally), financial resources and/or personnel. The prices of the securities of companies operating in the Information Technology Sector are closely tied to increased sensitivity to short product cycles and product obsolescence, aggressive pricing, and problems with bringing
PROSPECTUS | 9

products to market. Failure to introduce new products, develop and maintain a loyal customer base, or achieve general market acceptance for products could have a material adverse effect on a company’s business. In addition, companies in the Information Technology Sector are heavily dependent on intellectual property and the loss of patent, copyright and trademark protections may adversely affect the profitability of these companies.
Shareholder Trading Risk—The Fund may be used as a tool for certain investors that employ trading strategies involving frequent trading. Such trading strategies may lead to increased portfolio turnover in the Fund, higher transaction costs, and the possibility of increased short-term capital gains (which will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income when distributed to them) and/or long-term capital gains.  Large movements of assets into and out of the Fund due to active or frequent trading also may adversely affect the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective.
Tracking Error Risk—The Advisor may not be able to cause the Fund’s performance to match that of the Fund’s benchmark, either on a daily or aggregate basis. Factors such as Fund expenses, imperfect correlation between the Fund’s investments and those of the underlying index, rounding of share prices, changes to the composition of the underlying index, regulatory policies, high portfolio turnover rate, and the use of leverage all contribute to tracking error. Tracking error may cause the Fund’s performance to be less than you expect.
Trading Halt Risk—The Fund typically will hold futures contracts and short-term options. The major exchanges on which these contracts are traded, such as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, have established limits on how much the trading price of a futures contract or option may decline over various time periods within a day, and may halt trading in a contract that exceeds such limits. If a trading halt occurs, the Fund may temporarily be unable to purchase or sell certain securities, futures contracts or options. Such a trading halt near the time the Fund prices its shares may limit the Fund’s ability to use leverage and fully invest its assets, which could increase tracking error and adversely affect performance, and may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
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. In addition, U.S. government securities not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government involve credit risk that is greater than other types of U.S. government securities.

Inverse S&P 500® 2x Strategy Fund
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The Inverse S&P 500® 2x Strategy Fund (the “Fund”) is very different from most other mutual funds in that it seeks to provide leveraged investment results that match twice the inverse of the performance of a specific underlying index on a daily basis, a result opposite of most mutual funds. As a result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the performance of an investment in the Fund is magnified.
The effect of leverage on the Fund will generally cause the Fund’s performance to not match the performance of the Fund’s benchmark (as described below) over a period of time greater than a single trading day. This means that the return of the Fund for a period of longer than a single trading day will be the result of each day’s compounded returns over the period, which will very likely differ from twice the inverse return of the Fund’s underlying index (as defined below) for that period. As a consequence, especially in periods of market volatility, the path or trend of the benchmark during the longer period may be at least as important to the Fund’s cumulative return for the longer period as the cumulative return of the benchmark for the relevant longer period. Further, the return for investors who invest for a period longer than a single trading day will not be the product of the return of the Fund’s stated investment goal (i.e., -2x) and the cumulative performance of the benchmark.
The Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund should be utilized only by investors who (a) understand the risks associated with the use of leverage, (b) understand the consequences of seeking daily leveraged investment results, (c) understand the risks of shorting and (d) intend to actively monitor and manage their investments. Investors who do not meet these criteria should not buy shares of the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a complete investment program.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The Fund seeks to provide investment results that match, before fees and expenses, the performance of a specific benchmark on a daily basis. The Fund’s current benchmark is 200% of the inverse (opposite) of the performance of the S&P 500® Index (the “underlying index”). The Fund does not seek to achieve its investment objective over a period of time greater than one day.

In addition, the Advisor also has contractually agreed, through August 1, 2027, to waive and/or reimburse the Fund’s expenses in an additional amount equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.05% of the
PROSPECTUS | 13

Fund’s average daily net assets. Each agreement shall automatically renew for one-year terms unless the Advisor provides written notice to the Fund of the termination of the agreement. Each agreement may be terminated at any time by the Fund’s Board of Trustees and when the Advisor ceases to serve as such.
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 your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
1 Year
3 Years
5 Years
10 Years
$180
$578
$1,002
$2,182
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 the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its portfolio. The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments and most derivatives. If such instruments were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate might be significantly higher.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Fund employs as its investment strategy a program of engaging in short sales of securities generally included in the underlying index and investing in derivative instruments, which primarily consist of equity index swaps and swaps on exchange-traded funds, futures contracts, and options on securities, securities indices, and futures contracts. While the Fund may write (sell) and purchase swaps, it expects primarily to write swaps. The Advisor attempts to consistently apply leverage to increase the Fund's exposure to -200% of the underlying index and expects to rebalance the Fund's holdings daily to maintain such exposure. The Fund’s investment in derivatives referencing (i) the underlying index, or (ii) securities included in the underlying index, serves as a substitute for directly selling short each of the securities included in the underlying index and produces inverse exposure to the underlying index and to securities of companies included in the underlying index. These instruments will be counted towards the Fund’s 80% investment policy (as set forth below). Certain of the Fund’s derivatives investments may be traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in financial instruments with economic characteristics that should perform inversely to the securities of companies included in the S&P 500® Index.
The S&P 500® Index is a capitalization-weighted index composed of approximately 500 common stocks, which are chosen by the Standard & Poor’s Corporation on a statistical basis, and which generally represent large-capitalization companies with capitalizations ranging from $6.7 billion to $4.8 trillion as of June 30, 2026. Certain of the companies included in the S&P 500® Index may be structured as real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). To the extent the Fund’s underlying index is concentrated in a particular industry the Fund will necessarily be concentrated in that industry. As of June 30, 2026, the underlying index components, and thus the Fund's investments, are concentrated (i.e., more than 25% of its assets) in securities issued by companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry, a separate industry within the Information Technology Sector. The industries in which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund's investments, may be concentrated will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. Also, while the Fund's sector exposure may vary over time, as of June 30, 2026, the Fund has significant exposure to the Communication Services Sector, Consumer Discretionary Sector, Consumer Staples Sector, Financials Sector, Health Care Sector, Industrials Sector, and Information Technology Sector, as each sector is defined by the Global Industry Classification Standard, a widely recognized industry classification methodology developed by MSCI, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC.
On a day-to-day basis, the Fund may hold U.S. government securities or cash equivalents. The Fund also may enter into repurchase agreements with counterparties that are deemed to present acceptable credit risks. In an effort to ensure that the Fund is fully invested on a day-to-day basis, the Fund may conduct any necessary trading activity at or just prior to the close of the U.S. financial markets. 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.
14 | PROSPECTUS

Investments in derivative instruments, such as futures, options and swap agreements, have the economic effect of creating financial leverage in the Fund’s portfolio because such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the amount the Fund has invested in those instruments. Financial leverage will magnify, sometimes significantly, the Fund’s exposure to any increase or decrease in prices associated with a particular reference asset resulting in increased volatility in the value of the Fund’s portfolio. The value of the Fund’s portfolio is likely to experience greater volatility over short-term periods. While such financial leverage has the potential to produce greater gains, it also may result in greater losses, which in some cases may cause the Fund to liquidate other portfolio investments at a loss to comply with limits on leverage imposed by the Investment Company Act of 1940, satisfy margin or collateral requirements, or meet redemption requests.
PRINCIPAL RISKS
The value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate and is subject to investment risks, which means investors could lose money, including all or part of their investment in the Fund. 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. An investment in the Fund does not constitute a complete investment program. The Fund is subject to certain risks and the principal risks of investing in the Fund are summarized below in alphabetical order, and not in the order of importance or potential exposure. The relative significance of each principal risk summarized below may change over time and you should review each risk carefully because any one or more of these risks may result in losses to the Fund. Please see “More Information About the Trust and the Funds – Principal Risks” in the Fund’s Prospectus for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund.
Compounding Risk—In addition to the correlation risks described under “Correlation Risk”, the Fund’s returns are subject to the effects of compounding, which generally will cause the Fund’s performance to not correlate to the performance of the benchmark over periods greater than a single day, before accounting for fees and fund expenses. Compounded returns are the result of reinvesting daily returns over periods greater than a single day. The Fund’s compounded returns for periods greater than a single day will be different than the performance of the benchmark over the same period. The effects of compounding on the performance of the Fund will be more pronounced when the underlying index experiences increased volatility, the greater the leverage employed in the Fund, and over longer holding periods.
Compounding affects the performance of all investments over time, but has a more significant effect on a leveraged index fund because the magnified changes in performance produced by the use of leverage lead to greater increases and decreases in the fund’s daily returns which are then compounded over time. The effects of compounding, therefore, have a more significant effect on the Fund because it seeks to match a multiple of the inverse performance of the Fund’s underlying index on a daily basis.
Fund performance for periods greater than one day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: (a) underlying index performance; (b) underlying index volatility; (c) financing rates associated with leverage; (d) other Fund expenses; (e) dividends or interest paid by companies in the underlying index; and (f) period of time. The table below illustrates the impact of two principal factors – volatility and index performance – on Fund performance. The table shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of performance and volatility over a one-year period. Performance shown in the table assumes: (a) no dividends paid by the companies included in the underlying index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) a cost of leverage of zero percent. If Fund expenses, including the cost of leverage, were included, the Fund’s performance would be lower than shown.

The unshaded areas in the table below represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return more than twice the inverse performance of the underlying index; conversely, the shaded areas in the table below represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return the same or less than twice the inverse performance of the underlying index.

The underlying index’s annualized historical volatility rate for the five-year period ended June 30, 2026 is 15.85%. The underlying index’s highest one-year volatility rate during the five-year period is 20.58%. The underlying index’s annualized performance for the five-year period ended June 30, 2026 is 13.41%.
Historical underlying index volatility and performance are not indications of what the underlying index volatility and performance will be in the future. The table is intended to isolate the effects of the underlying index volatility and index performance on the return of the Fund, and underscore that the Fund is designed as a short-term trading vehicle for investors who intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios.
Correlation Risk—A number of factors may affect the Fund’s ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with its benchmark, including instances in which the Fund does not hold or have exposure to each component security of the underlying index and the effect of compounding on the Fund’s returns, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The Fund does not attempt to, and should not be expected to, provide returns which are an inverse multiple of the returns of the underlying index for periods other than a single day. The risk of the Fund not achieving its daily investment objective will be more acute when the underlying index has an extreme one-day movement approaching 50%. In addition, as a result of compounding, the Fund’s performance for periods greater than a single day is likely to be either greater than or less than the inverse of the performance of the underlying index times the stated multiple in the Fund’s investment objective, before accounting for Fund fees and expenses.
Counterparty Credit Risk—The Fund makes investments in financial instruments and 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, to hedge a position, or for other investment purposes. Through these investments and related arrangements (e.g., prime brokerage or securities lending arrangements or derivatives transactions), the Fund is exposed to credit risks that the counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments or otherwise to meet its contractual obligations. If the counterparty becomes insolvent or defaults on (or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling to perform) its payment or other obligations to the
16 | PROSPECTUS

Fund, the Fund may not receive the full amount that it is entitled to receive or may experience delays in recovering the collateral or other assets held by, or on behalf of, the counterparty. If this occurs, the value of your shares in the Fund will decrease. Counterparty credit risk also includes the related risk of having potentially significant exposure to such counterparty.
Derivatives Risk—Derivatives and other instruments (collectively referred to in this paragraph as “derivatives”) pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other investments, including risks relating to leverage, market conditions and market risk, imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, high price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty credit, liquidity, valuation, operational and legal restrictions and risk. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. In addition, 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. Changes in the value of a derivative also may create sudden margin delivery or settlement payment obligations for the Fund, which can materially affect the performance of the Fund, its liquidity, and other aspects of the Fund’s risk profile. The Fund’s use of derivatives to obtain short exposure may result in greater volatility of the Fund's net asset value (“NAV”) per share. If the Advisor is incorrect about its expectations of market conditions, the use of derivatives also could result in a loss, which in some cases may be unlimited. Certain risks are specific to the particular type of derivative instrument in which the Fund may invest. For example, 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 counterparty, credit, legal, liquidity and valuation risks.
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 include imperfect correlation between the movements in the price of the instruments and the price of the underlying assets. In addition, there is a 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 futures positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Advisor, 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 also are subject to leverage and liquidity risks. The Fund may invest in standard futures contracts, e-mini futures contracts, and micro e-mini futures contracts depending on the investment exposure needs of the Fund. E-mini futures contracts and micro e-mini futures contracts are similar to standard futures contracts, except that they are electronically traded and e-mini futures contracts generally are one-fifth the size of standard futures contracts and micro e-mini futures contracts generally are one-tenth the size of e-mini futures contracts.
Options Risk—Options and 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. Options are subject to correlation risk because there may be an imperfect correlation between the options and the markets for underlying instruments that could cause a given transaction to fail to achieve its objectives. The successful use of options depends on the Advisor’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 options positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Advisor, thus limiting the ability to implement the Fund’s strategies. Options also are particularly subject to leverage risk and can be subject to liquidity risk.
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, for certain standardized swaps, must be traded on a designated contract market or swap execution facility. 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. While exchange trading and central clearing are intended to reduce counterparty credit risk and increase liquidity, they 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, which could increase the cost of swap transactions to the Fund and impose added operational complexity.
Early Closing Risk—The Fund is subject to the risk that unanticipated early closings of securities exchanges and other financial markets may result in the Fund’s inability to buy or sell securities or other financial instruments on that day and may cause the Fund to incur substantial trading losses.
PROSPECTUS | 17

Equity Securities Risk—Equity securities include common stocks and other equity and equity-related securities (and securities convertible into stocks). The Fund is exposed to the risks of equity securities primarily through its investments in equity-related derivatives and other investments. The prices of equity securities generally fluctuate more than those of 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. 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. An increase in the value of equity securities to which the Fund has exposure will adversely affect the value of your investment in the Fund.
Industry Concentration Risk—The Fund may concentrate its investments in a limited number of issuers conducting business in the same industry or group of related industries. To the extent the Fund does so, the Fund is more vulnerable to adverse market, economic, regulatory, political or other developments affecting that industry or group of related industries than a fund that invests its assets more broadly. As of June 30, 2026, the underlying index components, and thus the Fund's investments, are concentrated in securities issued by companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry. As a result of the Fund’s concentration in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry, the Fund is subject to the risks associated with that Industry. The Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry includes manufacturers of semiconductor equipment, including equipment used in the solar power industry (e.g., raw wafers, gases, liquids and related packaging and material delivery systems), and semiconductors and related products, including manufacturers of solar modules, cells, integrated circuit devices, diodes and light-emitting diodes (LEDs), microprocessors and chips. Companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry rely heavily on technology. The prices of the securities of companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry may fluctuate widely due to competitive pressures, increased sensitivity to short product cycles and aggressive pricing, heavy expenses incurred for research and development of products or services that prove unsuccessful, problems related to bringing products to market, and rapid obsolescence of products. Legislative or regulatory changes and increased government supervision also may affect companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry. The Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry is a separate industry within the Information Technology Sector.
Interest Rate Risk—Fixed income and other debt instruments are subject to the possibility that interest rates could change (or are expected to change). Changes in interest rates (or the expectation of such changes) can be difficult to forecast and may adversely affect the Fund’s investments in these instruments, such as the value or liquidity of, and income generated by, the investments. Interest rates may change as a result of a variety of factors, and the change may be sudden and significant, with unpredictable impacts on the financial markets and the Fund’s investments. Fixed income and other debt instruments with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates and, thus, subject to more volatility than similar instruments with shorter durations. Generally, when interest rates increase, the values of previously issued fixed income and other debt instruments decline and when interest rates decrease, the values of fixed income and other debt instruments rise. During periods of rising interest rates, changes in interest rates on adjustable rate securities may lag behind changes in market rates, which may cause the value of such securities to decline until their interest rates reset to market rates. During periods of declining interest rates, because the interest rates on adjustable rate securities generally reset downward, their market value is unlikely to rise to the same extent as the value of comparable fixed rate securities. The Fund’s yield, returns, and performance may be adversely affected by changing interest rates and the Fund’s NAV per share may be more volatile during changing interest rate environments. Changes in fiscal, economic, monetary and other policies or measures have in the past, and may in the future, cause or exacerbate the risks associated with changing interest rates. Changes in interest rates may also lead to an increase in Fund redemptions, which may result in high portfolio turnover costs and lower valuations, thereby adversely affecting the Fund’s performance.
Large-Capitalization Securities Risk—The Fund is subject to the risk that large-capitalization securities may outperform 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.
Leveraging Risk—The Fund achieves leveraged exposure to the underlying index through the use of derivative instruments. The more the Fund invests in leveraged instruments, the more this leverage will magnify any losses on those investments. The Fund’s investment in these instruments generally requires a small investment relative to the amount of investment exposure assumed. As a result, such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the
18 | PROSPECTUS

amount invested in those instruments. Since the Fund’s investment strategy involves consistently applied leverage, the value of the Fund’s shares will tend to increase or decrease more than the value of any increase or decrease in the underlying index. Leverage will have the effect of magnifying tracking error and also may increase the Fund’s sensitivity to various risks and interest rate environments.
Liquidity and Valuation Risk—It may be difficult for the Fund to purchase and sell particular investments to meet redemption requests or otherwise within a reasonable time at a fair price, or the price at which it has been valued by the Advisor for purposes of the Fund’s NAV, causing the Fund to be less liquid and unable to realize what the Advisor 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. Liquidity and valuation risks are heightened in a changing interest rate or volatile environment particularly for fixed-income and other debt instruments.
Market Risk—The value of, or income generated by, the investments held by the Fund may fluctuate rapidly and unpredictably. These fluctuations may be frequent and significant. In addition, the Fund may incur losses as a result of various market and economic factors, such as those affecting (or perceived to affect) individual companies or issuers or particular industries, or from broader influences, such as general market conditions. In addition, responses to government actions or interventions (including, but not limited, to the threat or imposition of tariffs, trade restrictions, currency restrictions or similar actions) as well as developments related to economic, political (including geopolitical), social, public health, market, extreme weather, natural or man-made disasters or other conditions or events may cause volatility in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and/or debt markets, which could adversely impact the Fund and its investments and their value and performance. Under such conditions, the Fund (or an underlying fund) may experience significant redemption activity by shareholders and could be forced to sell portfolio securities or other assets at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate sufficient cash to pay redeeming shareholders. Certain securities may be difficult to value under such conditions. The Fund’s investments may perform poorly or underperform the general securities markets or other types of securities.
Non-Diversification Risk—The Fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single issuer's securities could cause greater fluctuations in the value of Fund shares than would occur in a diversified fund. The Fund may become diversified for periods of time solely as a result of changes in the composition of the underlying index (e.g., changes in the relative market capitalization or weights of one or more index component stocks).
OTC Trading Risk—Certain of the derivatives in which the Fund may invest may be traded (and privately negotiated) in the OTC market. While the OTC derivatives market is the primary trading venue for many derivatives, it is largely unregulated and provides for less transparency than a national securities or commodities exchange. As a result and similar to other privately negotiated contracts, the Fund is subject to counterparty credit risk with respect to such derivatives contracts.
Passive Investment Risk—The Fund is not actively managed and the Advisor does not attempt to take defensive positions in rising markets. Therefore, the Fund may be subject to greater losses in a rising market than a fund that is actively managed.
Portfolio Turnover Risk—Periodic rebalancing of the Fund's holdings  pursuant to its daily investment objective may lead to a greater number of portfolio transactions in the Fund than experienced by other mutual funds. Such frequent and active trading may lead to significantly higher transaction costs because of increased broker commissions associated with such transactions.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) Risk—REITs are classified as equity REITs, mortgage REITs or hybrid REITs. Equity REITs own real estate directly and the value of, and income earned by, the REITs depends upon the income of the underlying properties and the rental income they earn. Mortgage REITs make construction, development or long-term mortgage loans and are sensitive to the credit quality of the borrower. Mortgage REITs derive their income from interest earned on such mortgage loans. Hybrid REITs generally hold both ownership interests and mortgage interests in real estate. In addition to the risks pertaining to real estate investments more generally, REITs may be subject to additional risks, including risks associated with the direct ownership of real property, including declines in the value of real estate, risks related to general and local economic conditions, overbuilding and increased competition, increases in property taxes and operating expenses and variations in rental
PROSPECTUS | 19

income. REITs (especially mortgage REITs) also are subject to interest rate and prepayment 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. U.S. REITs also are 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.
Regulatory and Legal Risk—U.S. and non-U.S. governmental agencies and other regulators regularly implement additional regulations (or amend regulations) and legislators pass new laws that affect the investments held by the Fund, the strategies used by the Fund and/or the level of regulation or taxation applicable to the Fund, its investments or service providers. These developments impact the investment strategies, performance, costs and operations of the Fund or taxation of shareholders.
Repurchase Agreement Risk—The Fund’s investment in repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk with respect to the collateral securing the repurchase agreements. Investments in repurchase agreements also may be subject to the risk that the market value of the underlying obligations may decline prior to the expiration of the repurchase agreement term.
Sector Risk—To the extent the components of the Fund’s underlying index, and therefore, the Fund’s holdings, have significant exposure to one or more market sectors, the Fund may be especially sensitive to the developments affecting and risks of such market sectors. The sectors to which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund’s assets, may have significant exposure will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. As of June 30, 2026, the Fund is subject to the Sector Risks described below.
Communication Services Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Communication Services Sector. The Communication Services Sector includes companies that facilitate communication and offer related content and information through various mediums. It includes telecom and media & entertainment companies, including producers of interactive gaming products and companies engaged in content and information creation or distribution through proprietary platforms. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Communication Services Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Communication Services Sector has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall economy and also is affected by economic growth, consumer confidence, attitudes and spending. Increased sensitivity to short product cycles and aggressive pricing, challenges in bringing products to market and changes in demographics and consumer tastes also can affect the demand for, and success of, communication services products and services in the marketplace.
Consumer Discretionary Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Consumer Discretionary Sector. The manufacturing segment of the Consumer Discretionary Sector includes automobiles and components, household durable goods, leisure products, and textiles and apparel. The services segment includes hotels, restaurants and other leisure facilities, and distributors and retailers of consumer discretionary products. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Consumer Discretionary Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Consumer Discretionary Sector has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall economy, and also is affected by economic growth, consumer confidence, attitudes and spending. Changes in demographics and consumer tastes also can affect the demand for, and success of, consumer products and services in the marketplace. Moreover, the Consumer Discretionary Sector encompasses those businesses that tend to be the most sensitive to economic cycles.
Consumer Staples Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Consumer Staples Sector. The Consumer Staples Sector includes manufacturers and distributors of food, beverages and tobacco and producers of non-durable household goods and personal products. The Consumer Staples Sector also includes distributors and retailers of other consumer staples products, including food and drug retailing companies. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Consumer Staples Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Consumer
20 | PROSPECTUS

Staples Sector has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall economy, and also is affected by consumer confidence, demands and preferences, and spending. In addition, companies in the Consumer Staples Sector may be subject to risks pertaining to the supply of, demand for, and prices of raw materials.
Financials Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Financials Sector. The Financials Sector includes companies involved in banking, financial services (including commercial and residential mortgage finance), consumer finance, capital markets (including asset management and custody banks, investment banking and brokerage), Mortgage Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), and insurance. Certain Financials Sector issuers serve as counterparties with which the Fund may enter into derivatives agreements or other similar contractual arrangements. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Financials Sector, which may adversely affect a company's ability to fulfill its obligations as a financial counterparty. Companies operating in the Financials Sector are subject to extensive government regulation, which may limit the financial commitments they can make and the interest rates and fees they can charge. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and may fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition.
Health Care Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Health Care Sector. The Health Care Sector includes health care providers and services, companies that manufacture and distribute health care equipment and supplies, and health care technology companies. It also includes companies involved in the research, development, production and marketing of pharmaceuticals and biotechnology products. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Health Care Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Health Care Sector is closely tied to government regulation and policies (such as health care reform measures) and may be affected by government approval of products and services, competitive pricing pressures, rising costs of medical products and services, product obsolescence, and product liability and other similar litigation. In addition, companies operating in the Health Care Sector are heavily dependent on patent and other intellectual property rights, and a company’s ability to obtain and protect its patents (or the failure to do so) may affect profitability.
Industrials Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Industrials Sector. The Industrials Sector includes manufacturers and distributors of capital goods, such as aerospace and defense, building projects, electrical equipment and machinery, and companies that offer construction and engineering services. The Industrials Sector also includes providers of commercial and professional services including printing, environmental and facilities services, office services and supplies, security and alarm services, human resource and employment services, research and consulting services, and transportation services. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Industrials Sector. The prices of the securities of companies operating in the Industrials Sector may fluctuate due to the level and volatility of commodity prices, the exchange value of the dollar and economic conditions, import controls, worldwide competition, product liability claims, liability for environmental damage, depletion of resources, and mandated expenditures for safety and pollution control devices. In addition, the products of companies operating in the Industrials Sector may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments and the rapid introduction of new products.
Information Technology Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Information Technology Sector. The Information Technology Sector includes companies that offer software and information technology services, manufacturers and distributors of technology hardware and equipment (such as communications equipment, cellular phones, computers and peripherals), electronic equipment and related equipment and materials, and semiconductors and related equipment and materials. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Information Technology Sector. Companies in the Information Technology Sector may be affected by limited product lines, market competition (both domestically and internationally), financial resources and/or personnel. The prices of the securities of companies operating in the Information Technology Sector are closely tied to increased sensitivity to short product cycles and product obsolescence, aggressive pricing, and problems with bringing
PROSPECTUS | 21

products to market. Failure to introduce new products, develop and maintain a loyal customer base, or achieve general market acceptance for products could have a material adverse effect on a company’s business. In addition, companies in the Information Technology Sector are heavily dependent on intellectual property and the loss of patent, copyright and trademark protections may adversely affect the profitability of these companies.
Shareholder Trading Risk—The Fund may be used as a tool for certain investors that employ trading strategies involving frequent trading. Such trading strategies may lead to increased portfolio turnover in the Fund, higher transaction costs, and the possibility of increased short-term capital gains (which will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income when distributed to them) and/or long-term capital gains.  Large movements of assets into and out of the Fund due to active or frequent trading also may adversely affect the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective.
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 and leverage risks. The loss on a short sale or other short exposure, which, in some cases, may be theoretically unlimited, may be 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. Government actions also may affect the Fund’s ability to engage in short selling.
Tracking Error Risk—The Advisor may not be able to cause the Fund’s performance to match that of the Fund’s benchmark, either on a daily or aggregate basis. Factors such as Fund expenses, imperfect correlation between the Fund’s investments and those of the underlying index, rounding of share prices, changes to the composition of the underlying index, regulatory policies, high portfolio turnover rate, and the use of leverage all contribute to tracking error. Tracking error may cause the Fund’s performance to be less than you expect.
Trading Halt Risk—The Fund typically will hold futures contracts and short-term options. The major exchanges on which these contracts are traded, such as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, have established limits on how much the trading price of a futures contract or option may decline over various time periods within a day, and may halt trading in a contract that exceeds such limits. If a trading halt occurs, the Fund may temporarily be unable to purchase or sell certain securities, futures contracts or options. Such a trading halt near the time the Fund prices its shares may limit the Fund’s ability to use leverage and fully invest its assets, which could increase tracking error and adversely affect performance, and may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
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. In addition, U.S. government securities not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government involve credit risk that is greater than other types of U.S. government securities.

PURCHASE AND SALE OF FUND SHARES
The minimum initial investment amounts and minimum account balance requirements for Class H accounts held through a third party (e.g., a brokerage account) are typically:
$1,000 for retirement accounts
$2,500 for all other accounts
Class H accounts opened through a financial intermediary (non-direct) will be subject to your financial intermediary’s minimum initial investment amount and account balance requirements, which may be different than the amounts above.
Class H accounts held directly at Guggenheim Investments (other than those that are managed by financial professionals) are subject to a minimum initial investment and account balance of $5,000 (including retirement accounts).
Direct accounts managed by financial professionals are not subject to minimum initial investment and minimum account balance requirements.
There are no minimum amounts for subsequent investments in the Fund except for subsequent investments made via Automated Clearing House (“ACH”).
The Fund reserves the right to modify its minimum account balance requirements at any time, with or without prior notice to you.
The Fund redeems its shares continuously and investors may sell their shares back to the Fund on any day that the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) is open for business (a “Business Day”). 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 Fund also offers you the option to send redemption orders to Guggenheim Investments by mail, fax or telephone.
TAX INFORMATION
Fund distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income or capital gains (or a combination of both), unless your investment is in an individual retirement account or other tax-advantaged retirement account. Investments through a tax-advantaged retirement account may be subject to taxation upon withdrawal.
PAYMENTS TO BROKER-DEALERS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES
If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), 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.

NASDAQ-100® 2x Strategy Fund
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The NASDAQ-100® 2x Strategy Fund (the “Fund”) is very different from most other mutual funds in that it seeks daily leveraged investment results. As a result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the performance of an investment in the Fund is magnified.
The effect of leverage on the Fund will generally cause the Fund’s performance to not match the performance of the Fund’s benchmark (as described below) over a period of time greater than a single trading day. This means that the return of the Fund for a period of longer than a single trading day will be the result of each day’s compounded returns over the period, which will very likely differ from twice the return of the Fund’s underlying index (as defined below) for that period. As a consequence, especially in periods of market volatility, the path or trend of the benchmark during the longer period may be at least as important to the Fund’s cumulative return for the longer period as the cumulative return of the benchmark for the relevant longer period. Further, the return for investors who invest for a period longer than a single trading day will not be the product of the return of the Fund’s stated investment goal (i.e., 2x) and the cumulative performance of the benchmark.
The Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund should be utilized only by investors who (a) understand the risks associated with the use of leverage, (b) understand the consequences of seeking daily leveraged investment results, and (c) intend to actively monitor and manage their investments. Investors who do not meet these criteria should not buy shares of the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a complete investment program.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The Fund seeks to provide investment results that match, before fees and expenses, the performance of a specific benchmark on a daily basis.  The Fund’s current benchmark is 200% of the performance of the NASDAQ-100 Index® (the “underlying index”). The Fund does not seek to achieve its investment objective over a period of time greater than one day.
FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE FUND
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell Class H shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.

The Advisor has contractually agreed, through August 1, 2027, to waive and/or reimburse the Fund’s expenses in an amount equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.05% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Advisor also has contractually agreed, through August 1, 2027, to waive and/or reimburse the Fund's expenses in an additional amount equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.05% of the Fund's average

daily net assets. In addition, the Advisor has contractually agreed, through August 1, 2027, to waive and/or reimburse the Fund's expenses in an amount equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.05% of the Fund's average daily net assets in excess of $500,000,000. Each agreement shall automatically renew for one-year terms unless the Advisor provides written notice to the Fund of the termination of the agreement. Each agreement may be terminated at any time by the Fund’s Board of Trustees and when the Advisor ceases to serve as such.
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 your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
1 Year
3 Years
5 Years
10 Years
$181
$587
$1,020
$2,222
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 the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 601% of the average value of its portfolio. The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments and most derivatives. If such instruments were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate might be significantly higher.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Fund employs as its investment strategy a program of investing in the common stock of companies that are generally within the capitalization range of the underlying index and derivative instruments, which primarily consist of equity index swaps and swaps on exchange-traded funds, futures contracts, and options on securities, futures contracts, and stock indices. While the Fund may write (sell) and purchase swaps, it expects primarily to purchase swaps. Swap agreements and futures and options contracts, if used properly, may enable the Fund to meet its objective by increasing the Fund’s exposure to the securities included in the underlying index or in the same proportion that those securities are represented in the Fund's benchmark. The Fund’s investment in derivatives referencing (i) the underlying index, or (ii) securities included in the underlying index, serves as a substitute for investments in each of the securities of companies included in the underlying index and will be counted towards the Fund’s 80% investment policy (as set forth below). The Advisor attempts to consistently apply leverage to increase the Fund's exposure to 200% of the underlying index and expects to rebalance the Fund's holdings daily to maintain such exposure. The Fund’s use of derivatives and the leveraged investment exposure created by such use are expected to be significant. Certain of the Fund’s derivatives investments may be traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. The Fund also may invest in American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) to gain exposure to international companies included in the underlying index. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in securities of companies included in the NASDAQ-100 Index® and financial instruments with economic characteristics that should perform similarly to the securities of companies in the NASDAQ-100 Index®.
The NASDAQ-100 Index® is a modified capitalization-weighted index composed of 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market with capitalizations ranging from $17.5 billion to $4.8 trillion as of June 30, 2026. To the extent the Fund’s underlying index is concentrated in a particular industry the Fund will necessarily be concentrated in that industry. As of June 30, 2026, the underlying index components, and thus the Fund’s investments, are concentrated (i.e., more than 25% of its assets) in securities issued by companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry and Software Industry, separate industries within the Information Technology Sector. The industries in which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund’s investments, may be concentrated will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. Also, while the Fund’s sector exposure may vary over time, as of June 30, 2026, the Fund has significant exposure to the Communication Services Sector, Consumer Discretionary Sector, Consumer Staples Sector, Health Care Sector, and Information Technology Sector, as each sector is defined by the Global Industry Classification Standard, a widely recognized industry classification methodology developed by MSCI, Inc. and Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC.
26 | PROSPECTUS

On a day-to-day basis, the Fund may hold U.S. government securities or cash equivalents. The Fund also may enter into repurchase agreements with counterparties that are deemed to present acceptable credit risks. In an effort to ensure that the Fund is fully invested on a day-to-day basis, the Fund may conduct any necessary trading activity at or just prior to the close of the U.S. financial markets. 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.
Investments in derivative instruments, such as futures, options and swap agreements, have the economic effect of creating financial leverage in the Fund’s portfolio because such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the amount the Fund has invested in those instruments. Financial leverage will magnify, sometimes significantly, the Fund’s exposure to any increase or decrease in prices associated with a particular reference asset resulting in increased volatility in the value of the Fund’s portfolio. The value of the Fund’s portfolio is likely to experience greater volatility over short-term periods. While such financial leverage has the potential to produce greater gains, it also may result in greater losses, which in some cases may cause the Fund to liquidate other portfolio investments at a loss to comply with limits on leverage imposed by the Investment Company Act of 1940, satisfy margin or collateral requirements, or meet redemption requests.
PRINCIPAL RISKS
The value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate and is subject to investment risks, which means investors could lose money, including all or part of their investment in the Fund. 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. An investment in the Fund does not constitute a complete investment program. The Fund is subject to certain risks and the principal risks of investing in the Fund are summarized below in alphabetical order, and not in the order of importance or potential exposure. The relative significance of each principal risk summarized below may change over time and you should review each risk carefully because any one or more of these risks may result in losses to the Fund. Please see “More Information About the Trust and the Funds – Principal Risks” in the Fund’s Prospectus for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund.
Compounding Risk—In addition to the correlation risks described under “Correlation Risk”, the Fund’s returns are subject to the effects of compounding, which generally will cause the Fund’s performance to not correlate to the performance of the benchmark over periods greater than a single day, before accounting for fees and fund expenses. Compounded returns are the result of reinvesting daily returns over periods greater than a single day. The Fund’s compounded returns for periods greater than a single day will be different than the performance of the benchmark over the same period. The effects of compounding on the performance of the Fund will be more pronounced when the underlying index experiences increased volatility, the greater the leverage employed in the Fund, and over longer holding periods.
Compounding affects the performance of all investments over time, but has a more significant effect on a leveraged index fund because the magnified changes in performance produced by the use of leverage lead to greater increases and decreases in the fund’s daily returns which are then compounded over time. The effects of compounding, therefore, have a more significant effect on the Fund because it seeks to match a multiple of the performance of the Fund’s underlying index on a daily basis.
Fund performance for periods greater than one day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: (a) underlying index performance; (b) underlying index volatility; (c) financing rates associated with leverage; (d) other Fund expenses; (e) dividends or interest paid by companies in the underlying index; and (f) period of time. The table below illustrates the impact of two principal factors – volatility and index performance – on Fund performance. The table shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of performance and volatility over a one-year period. Performance shown in the table assumes: (a) no dividends paid by the companies included in the underlying index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) a cost of leverage of zero percent. If Fund expenses, including the cost of leverage, were included, the Fund’s performance would be lower than shown.

The underlying index’s annualized historical volatility rate for the five-year period ended June 30, 2026 is 20.74%. The underlying index’s highest one-year volatility rate during the five-year period is 26.55%. The underlying index’s annualized performance for the five-year period ended June 30, 2026 is 16.68%.
Historical underlying index volatility and performance are not indications of what the underlying index volatility and performance will be in the future. The table is intended to isolate the effects of the underlying index volatility and index performance on the return of the Fund, and underscore that the Fund is designed as a short-term trading vehicle for investors who intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios.
Correlation Risk—A number of factors may affect the Fund’s ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with its benchmark, including instances in which the Fund does not hold or have exposure to each component security of the underlying index and the effect of compounding on the Fund’s returns, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The Fund does not attempt to, and should not be expected to, provide returns  which are a multiple of the returns of the underlying index for periods other than a single day. The risk of the Fund not achieving its daily investment objective will be more acute when the underlying index has an extreme one-day movement approaching 50%. In addition, as a result of compounding, the Fund’s performance for periods greater than a single day is likely to be either greater than or less than the performance of the underlying index times the stated multiple in the Fund’s investment objective, before accounting for Fund fees and expenses.
Counterparty Credit Risk—The Fund makes investments in financial instruments and 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, to hedge a position, or for other investment purposes. Through these investments and related arrangements (e.g., prime brokerage or securities lending arrangements or derivatives transactions), the Fund is exposed to credit risks that the counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments or otherwise to meet its contractual obligations. If the counterparty becomes insolvent or defaults on (or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling to perform) its payment or other obligations to the
28 | PROSPECTUS

Fund, the Fund may not receive the full amount that it is entitled to receive or may experience delays in recovering the collateral or other assets held by, or on behalf of, the counterparty. If this occurs, the value of your shares in the Fund will decrease. Counterparty credit risk also includes the related risk of having potentially significant exposure to such counterparty.
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 and other instruments (collectively referred to in this paragraph as “derivatives”) pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other investments, including risks relating to leverage, market conditions and market risk, imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, high price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty credit, liquidity, valuation, operational and legal restrictions and risk. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. In addition, 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. Changes in the value of a derivative also may create sudden margin delivery or settlement payment obligations for the Fund, which can materially affect the performance of the Fund, its liquidity, and other aspects of the Fund’s risk profile. The Fund’s use of derivatives to obtain short exposure, if any,  may result in greater volatility of the Fund's net asset value (“NAV”) per share. If the Advisor is incorrect about its expectations of market conditions, the use of derivatives also could result in a loss, which in some cases may be unlimited. Certain risks are specific to the particular type of derivative instrument in which the Fund may invest. For example, 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 counterparty, credit, legal, liquidity and valuation risks.
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 include imperfect correlation between the movements in the price of the instruments and the price of the underlying assets. In addition, there is a 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 futures positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Advisor, 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 also are subject to leverage and liquidity risks. The Fund may invest in standard futures contracts, e-mini futures contracts, and micro e-mini futures contracts depending on the investment exposure needs of the Fund. E-mini futures contracts and micro e-mini futures contracts are similar to standard futures contracts, except that they are electronically traded and e-mini futures contracts generally are one-fifth the size of standard futures contracts and micro e-mini futures contracts generally are one-tenth the size of e-mini futures contracts.
Options Risk—Options and 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. Options are subject to correlation risk because there may be an imperfect correlation between the options and the markets for underlying instruments that could cause a given transaction to fail to achieve its objectives. The successful use of options depends on the Advisor’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 options positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Advisor, thus limiting the ability to implement the Fund’s strategies. Options also are particularly subject to leverage risk and can be subject to liquidity risk.
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, for certain standardized swaps, must be traded on a designated contract market or swap execution facility. 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. While exchange trading and central clearing are intended to reduce counterparty credit risk
PROSPECTUS | 29

and increase liquidity, they 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, which could increase the cost of swap transactions to the Fund and impose added operational complexity.
Early Closing Risk—The Fund is subject to the risk that unanticipated early closings of securities exchanges and other financial markets may result in the Fund’s inability to buy or sell securities or other financial instruments on that day and may cause the Fund to incur substantial trading losses.
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 more than those of 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.
Foreign Issuer Exposure Risk—The Fund may invest in securities of foreign companies directly or in financial instruments that are indirectly linked to the performance of foreign issuers, such as ADRs. The Fund’s exposure to foreign issuers and investments in foreign securities, if any, carry unique, additional and heightened risks when compared to U.S. securities, including, but not limited to: currency fluctuations; adverse political (including geopolitical), social and economic developments; trade restrictions (including tariffs) or other government restrictions by the U.S. or other governments; unreliable, untimely or less publicly available information; less government supervision; reporting, accounting, and auditing standards that are not comparable to those in the United States; less liquidity and more volatility; limited legal recourse; and higher transactional costs.
Industry Concentration Risk—The Fund may concentrate its investments in a limited number of issuers conducting business in the same industry or group of related industries. To the extent the Fund does so, the Fund is more vulnerable to adverse market, economic, regulatory, political or other developments affecting that industry or group of related industries than a fund that invests its assets more broadly. As of June 30, 2026, the underlying index components, and thus the Fund's investments, are concentrated in securities issued by companies in the industries described below.  The industries in which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund's assets, may be concentrated will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. 
Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry. As a result of the Fund's concentration in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry, the Fund is subject to the risks associated with that Industry. The Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry includes manufacturers of semiconductor equipment, including equipment used in the solar power industry (e.g., raw wafers, gases, liquids and related packaging and material delivery systems), and semiconductors and related products, including manufacturers of solar modules, cells, integrated circuit devices, diodes and light-emitting diodes (LEDs), microprocessors and chips. Companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry rely heavily on technology. The prices of the securities of companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry may fluctuate widely due to competitive pressures, increased sensitivity to short product cycles and aggressive pricing, heavy expenses incurred for research and development of products or services that prove unsuccessful, problems related to bringing products to market, and rapid obsolescence of products. Legislative or regulatory changes and increased government supervision also may affect companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry. The Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry is a separate industry within the Information Technology Sector.
Software Industry. As a result of the Fund's concentration in the Software Industry, the Fund is subject to the risks associated with that Industry. The Software Industry includes companies engaged in developing and producing software designed for specialized applications for the business and consumer markets, including enterprise and technical software, cloud-based software and companies engaged in bitcoin mining, and in developing and producing software for operating systems and platforms, database management software and firewalls. The prices of the securities of issuers in the Software Industry may fluctuate widely due to competitive pressures, increased sensitivity to short product cycles and aggressive pricing, heavy expenses incurred for research and development of products or services that prove unsuccessful, challenges related to bringing products to market, and rapid obsolescence of products. In addition, many software companies rely on
30 | PROSPECTUS

a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secret laws to establish and protect their proprietary rights in their products and technologies. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by software companies to protect their proprietary rights will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of their technology or that competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to such companies' technology. Legislative or regulatory changes and increased government supervision also may affect companies in the Software Industry. The Software Industry is a separate industry within the Information Technology Sector.
Interest Rate Risk—Fixed income and other debt instruments are subject to the possibility that interest rates could change (or are expected to change). Changes in interest rates (or the expectation of such changes) can be difficult to forecast and may adversely affect the Fund’s investments in these instruments, such as the value or liquidity of, and income generated by, the investments. Interest rates may change as a result of a variety of factors, and the change may be sudden and significant, with unpredictable impacts on the financial markets and the Fund’s investments. Fixed income and other debt instruments with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates and, thus, subject to more volatility than similar instruments with shorter durations. Generally, when interest rates increase, the values of previously issued fixed income and other debt instruments decline and when interest rates decrease, the values of fixed income and other debt instruments rise. During periods of rising interest rates, changes in interest rates on adjustable rate securities may lag behind changes in market rates, which may cause the value of such securities to decline until their interest rates reset to market rates. During periods of declining interest rates, because the interest rates on adjustable rate securities generally reset downward, their market value is unlikely to rise to the same extent as the value of comparable fixed rate securities. The Fund’s yield, returns, and performance may be adversely affected by changing interest rates and the Fund’s NAV per share may be more volatile during changing interest rate environments. Changes in fiscal, economic, monetary and other policies or measures have in the past, and may in the future, cause or exacerbate the risks associated with changing interest rates. Changes in interest rates may also lead to an increase in Fund redemptions, which may result in high portfolio turnover costs and lower valuations, thereby adversely affecting the Fund’s performance.
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.
Leveraging Risk—The Fund achieves leveraged exposure to the underlying index through the use of derivative instruments. The more the Fund invests in leveraged instruments, the more this leverage will magnify any losses on those investments. The Fund’s investment in these instruments generally requires a small investment relative to the amount of investment exposure assumed. As a result, such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the amount invested in those instruments. Since the Fund’s investment strategy involves consistently applied leverage, the value of the Fund’s shares will tend to increase or decrease more than the value of any increase or decrease in the underlying index. Leverage will have the effect of magnifying tracking error and also may increase the Fund’s sensitivity to various risks and interest rate environments.
Liquidity and Valuation Risk—It may be difficult for the Fund to purchase and sell particular investments to meet redemption requests or otherwise within a reasonable time at a fair price, or the price at which it has been valued by the Advisor for purposes of the Fund’s NAV, causing the Fund to be less liquid and unable to realize what the Advisor 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. Liquidity and valuation risks are heightened in a changing interest rate or volatile environment particularly for fixed-income and other debt instruments.
Market Risk—The value of, or income generated by, the investments held by the Fund may fluctuate rapidly and unpredictably. These fluctuations may be frequent and significant. In addition, the Fund may incur losses as a result of various market and economic factors, such as those affecting (or perceived to affect) individual companies or issuers or particular industries, or from broader influences, such as general market conditions. In addition, responses to government actions or interventions (including, but not limited, to the threat or imposition of tariffs, trade restrictions, currency restrictions or similar actions) as well as developments related to economic, political (including geopolitical), social, public health, market, extreme weather, natural or man-made disasters or other conditions or
PROSPECTUS | 31

events may cause volatility in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and/or debt markets, which could adversely impact the Fund and its investments and their value and performance. Under such conditions, the Fund (or an underlying fund) may experience significant redemption activity by shareholders and could be forced to sell portfolio securities or other assets at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate sufficient cash to pay redeeming shareholders. Certain securities may be difficult to value under such conditions. The Fund’s investments may perform poorly or underperform the general securities markets or other types of securities.
Non-Diversification Risk—The Fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single issuer's securities could cause greater fluctuations in the value of Fund shares than would occur in a diversified fund. The Fund may become diversified for periods of time solely as a result of changes in the composition of the underlying index (e.g., changes in the relative market capitalization or weights of one or more index component stocks).
OTC Trading Risk—Certain of the derivatives in which the Fund may invest may be traded (and privately negotiated) in the OTC market. While the OTC derivatives market is the primary trading venue for many derivatives, it is largely unregulated and provides for less transparency than a national securities or commodities exchange. As a result and similar to other privately negotiated contracts, the Fund is subject to counterparty credit risk with respect to such derivatives contracts.
Passive Investment Risk—The Fund is not actively managed and the Advisor does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. Therefore, the Fund may be subject to greater losses in a declining market than a fund that is actively managed.
Portfolio Turnover Risk—Periodic rebalancing of the Fund's holdings  pursuant to its daily investment objective may lead to a greater number of portfolio transactions in the Fund than experienced by other mutual funds. Such frequent and active trading may lead to significantly higher transaction costs because of increased broker commissions associated with such transactions.
Regulatory and Legal Risk—U.S. and non-U.S. governmental agencies and other regulators regularly implement additional regulations (or amend regulations) and legislators pass new laws that affect the investments held by the Fund, the strategies used by the Fund and/or the level of regulation or taxation applicable to the Fund, its investments or service providers. These developments impact the investment strategies, performance, costs and operations of the Fund or taxation of shareholders.
Repurchase Agreement Risk—The Fund’s investment in repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk with respect to the collateral securing the repurchase agreements. Investments in repurchase agreements also may be subject to the risk that the market value of the underlying obligations may decline prior to the expiration of the repurchase agreement term.
Sector Risk—To the extent the components of the Fund’s underlying index, and therefore, the Fund’s holdings, have significant exposure to one or more market sectors, the Fund may be especially sensitive to the developments affecting and risks of such market sectors. The sectors to which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund’s assets, may have significant exposure will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. As of June 30, 2026, the Fund is subject to the Sector Risks described below.
Communication Services Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Communication Services Sector. The Communication Services Sector includes companies that facilitate communication and offer related content and information through various mediums. It includes telecom and media & entertainment companies, including producers of interactive gaming products and companies engaged in content and information creation or distribution through proprietary platforms. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Communication Services Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Communication Services Sector has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall economy and also is affected by economic growth, consumer confidence, attitudes and spending. Increased sensitivity to short product cycles and aggressive pricing, challenges in bringing products to market and changes in demographics and consumer tastes also can affect the demand for, and success of, communication services products and services in the marketplace.
32 | PROSPECTUS

Consumer Discretionary Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Consumer Discretionary Sector. The manufacturing segment of the Consumer Discretionary Sector includes automobiles and components, household durable goods, leisure products, and textiles and apparel. The services segment includes hotels, restaurants and other leisure facilities, and distributors and retailers of consumer discretionary products. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Consumer Discretionary Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Consumer Discretionary Sector has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall economy, and also is affected by economic growth, consumer confidence, attitudes and spending. Changes in demographics and consumer tastes also can affect the demand for, and success of, consumer products and services in the marketplace. Moreover, the Consumer Discretionary Sector encompasses those businesses that tend to be the most sensitive to economic cycles.
Consumer Staples Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Consumer Staples Sector. The Consumer Staples Sector includes manufacturers and distributors of food, beverages and tobacco and producers of non-durable household goods and personal products. The Consumer Staples Sector also includes distributors and retailers of other consumer staples products, including food and drug retailing companies. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Consumer Staples Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Consumer Staples Sector has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall economy, and also is affected by consumer confidence, demands and preferences, and spending. In addition, companies in the Consumer Staples Sector may be subject to risks pertaining to the supply of, demand for, and prices of raw materials.
Health Care Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Health Care Sector. The Health Care Sector includes health care providers and services, companies that manufacture and distribute health care equipment and supplies, and health care technology companies. It also includes companies involved in the research, development, production and marketing of pharmaceuticals and biotechnology products. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Health Care Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Health Care Sector is closely tied to government regulation and policies (such as health care reform measures) and may be affected by government approval of products and services, competitive pricing pressures, rising costs of medical products and services, product obsolescence, and product liability and other similar litigation. In addition, companies operating in the Health Care Sector are heavily dependent on patent and other intellectual property rights, and a company’s ability to obtain and protect its patents (or the failure to do so) may affect profitability.
Information Technology Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Information Technology Sector. The Information Technology Sector includes companies that offer software and information technology services, manufacturers and distributors of technology hardware and equipment (such as communications equipment, cellular phones, computers and peripherals), electronic equipment and related equipment and materials, and semiconductors and related equipment and materials. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Information Technology Sector. Companies in the Information Technology Sector may be affected by limited product lines, market competition (both domestically and internationally), financial resources and/or personnel. The prices of the securities of companies operating in the Information Technology Sector are closely tied to increased sensitivity to short product cycles and product obsolescence, aggressive pricing, and problems with bringing products to market. Failure to introduce new products, develop and maintain a loyal customer base, or achieve general market acceptance for products could have a material adverse effect on a company’s business. In addition, companies in the Information Technology Sector are heavily dependent on intellectual property and the loss of patent, copyright and trademark protections may adversely affect the profitability of these companies.
PROSPECTUS | 33

Shareholder Trading Risk—The Fund may be used as a tool for certain investors that employ trading strategies involving frequent trading. Such trading strategies may lead to increased portfolio turnover in the Fund, higher transaction costs, and the possibility of increased short-term capital gains (which will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income when distributed to them) and/or long-term capital gains.  Large movements of assets into and out of the Fund due to active or frequent trading also may adversely affect the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective.
Tracking Error Risk—The Advisor may not be able to cause the Fund’s performance to match that of the Fund’s benchmark, either on a daily or aggregate basis. Factors such as Fund expenses, imperfect correlation between the Fund’s investments and those of the underlying index, rounding of share prices, changes to the composition of the underlying index, regulatory policies, high portfolio turnover rate, and the use of leverage all contribute to tracking error. Tracking error may cause the Fund’s performance to be less than you expect.
Trading Halt Risk—The Fund typically will hold futures contracts and short-term options. The major exchanges on which these contracts are traded, such as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, have established limits on how much the trading price of a futures contract or option may decline over various time periods within a day, and may halt trading in a contract that exceeds such limits. If a trading halt occurs, the Fund may temporarily be unable to purchase or sell certain securities, futures contracts or options. Such a trading halt near the time the Fund prices its shares may limit the Fund’s ability to use leverage and fully invest its assets, which could increase tracking error and adversely affect performance, and may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
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. In addition, U.S. government securities not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government involve credit risk that is greater than other types of U.S. government securities.

PURCHASE AND SALE OF FUND SHARES
The minimum initial investment amounts and minimum account balance requirements for Class H accounts held through a third party (e.g., a brokerage account) are typically:
$1,000 for retirement accounts
$2,500 for all other accounts
Class H accounts opened through a financial intermediary (non-direct) will be subject to your financial intermediary’s minimum initial investment amount and account balance requirements, which may be different than the amounts above.
Class H accounts held directly at Guggenheim Investments (other than those that are managed by financial professionals) are subject to a minimum initial investment and account balance of $5,000 (including retirement accounts).
Direct accounts managed by financial professionals are not subject to minimum initial investment and minimum account balance requirements.
There are no minimum amounts for subsequent investments in the Fund except for subsequent investments made via Automated Clearing House (“ACH”).
The Fund reserves the right to modify its minimum account balance requirements at any time, with or without prior notice to you.
The Fund redeems its shares continuously and investors may sell their shares back to the Fund on any day that the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) is open for business (a “Business Day”). 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 Fund also offers you the option to send redemption orders to Guggenheim Investments by mail, fax or telephone.
TAX INFORMATION
Fund distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income, qualified dividend income, or capital gains (or a combination thereof), unless your investment is in an individual retirement account or other tax-advantaged retirement account. Investments through a tax-advantaged retirement account may be subject to taxation upon withdrawal.
PAYMENTS TO BROKER-DEALERS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES
If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), 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.

Inverse NASDAQ-100® 2x Strategy Fund
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The Inverse NASDAQ-100® 2x Strategy Fund (the “Fund”) is very different from most other mutual funds in that it seeks to provide leveraged investment results that match twice the inverse of the performance of a specific underlying index on a daily basis, a result opposite of most mutual funds. As a result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the performance of an investment in the Fund is magnified.
The effect of leverage on the Fund will generally cause the Fund’s performance to not match the performance of the Fund’s benchmark (as described below) over a period of time greater than a single trading day. This means that the return of the Fund for a period of longer than a single trading day will be the result of each day’s compounded returns over the period, which will very likely differ from twice the inverse return of the Fund’s underlying index (as defined below) for that period. As a consequence, especially in periods of market volatility, the path or trend of the benchmark during the longer period may be at least as important to the Fund’s cumulative return for the longer period as the cumulative return of the benchmark for the relevant longer period. Further, the return for investors who invest for a period longer than a single trading day will not be the product of the return of the Fund’s stated investment goal (i.e., -2x) and the cumulative performance of the benchmark.
The Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund should be utilized only by investors who (a) understand the risks associated with the use of leverage, (b) understand the consequences of seeking daily leveraged investment results, (c) understand the risks of shorting and (d) intend to actively monitor and manage their investments. Investors who do not meet these criteria should not buy shares of the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a complete investment program.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The Fund seeks to provide investment results that match, before fees and expenses, the performance of a specific benchmark on a daily basis. The Fund’s current benchmark is 200% of the inverse (opposite) of the performance of the NASDAQ-100 Index® (the “underlying index”). The Fund does not seek to achieve its investment objective over a period of time greater than one day.

The Advisor has contractually agreed, through August 1, 2027, to waive and/or reimburse the Fund’s expenses in an amount equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. In addition, the Advisor also has contractually agreed, through August 1, 2027, to waive and/or reimburse the Fund’s expenses in an additional amount equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.05% of the
PROSPECTUS | 37

Fund’s average daily net assets. Each agreement shall automatically renew for one-year terms unless the Advisor provides written notice to the Fund of the termination of the agreement. Each agreement may be terminated at any time by the Fund’s Board of Trustees and when the Advisor ceases to serve as such.
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 your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

$1,053
$2,288
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 the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its portfolio. The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments and most derivatives. If such instruments were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate might be significantly higher.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Fund employs as its investment strategy a program of engaging in short sales of securities generally included in the underlying index and investing in derivative instruments, which primarily consist of equity index swaps and swaps on exchange-traded funds, futures contracts, and options on securities, securities indices, and futures contracts. While the Fund may write (sell) and purchase swaps, it expects primarily to write swaps. The Advisor attempts to consistently apply leverage to increase the Fund’s exposure to -200% of the underlying index and expects to rebalance the Fund’s holdings daily to maintain such exposure. The Fund’s investment in derivatives referencing (i) the underlying index, or (ii) securities included in the underlying index, serves as a substitute for directly selling short each of the securities included in the underlying index and produces inverse exposure to the underlying index and to securities of companies included in the underlying index. These instruments will be counted towards the Fund’s 80% investment policy (as set forth below). Certain of the Fund’s derivatives investments may be traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. The Fund also may invest in American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) to gain inverse exposure to international companies included in the underlying index. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in financial instruments with economic characteristics that should perform inversely to the securities of companies included in the NASDAQ-100 Index®.
The NASDAQ-100 Index® is a modified capitalization-weighted index composed of 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market with capitalizations ranging from $17.5 billion to $4.8 trillion as of June 30, 2026. To the extent the Fund’s underlying index is concentrated in a particular industry the Fund will necessarily be concentrated in that industry. As of June 30, 2026, the underlying index components, and thus the Fund’s investments, are concentrated (i.e., more than 25% of its assets) in securities issued by companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry and Software Industry, separate industries within the Information Technology Sector. The industries in which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund’s investments, may be concentrated will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. Also, while the Fund’s sector exposure may vary over time, as of June 30, 2026, the Fund has significant exposure to the Communication Services Sector, Consumer Discretionary Sector, Consumer Staples Sector, Health Care Sector, and Information Technology Sector, as each sector is defined by the Global Industry Classification Standard, a widely recognized industry classification methodology developed by MSCI, Inc. and Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC.
On a day-to-day basis, the Fund may hold U.S. government securities or cash equivalents. The Fund also may enter into repurchase agreements with counterparties that are deemed to present acceptable credit risks. In an effort to ensure that the Fund is fully invested on a day-to-day basis, the Fund may conduct any necessary trading activity at or just prior to the close of the U.S. financial markets. 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.

Investments in derivative instruments, such as futures, options and swap agreements, have the economic effect of creating financial leverage in the Fund’s portfolio because such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the amount the Fund has invested in those instruments. Financial leverage will magnify, sometimes significantly, the Fund’s exposure to any increase or decrease in prices associated with a particular reference asset resulting in increased volatility in the value of the Fund’s portfolio. The value of the Fund’s portfolio is likely to experience greater volatility over short-term periods. While such financial leverage has the potential to produce greater gains, it also may result in greater losses, which in some cases may cause the Fund to liquidate other portfolio investments at a loss to comply with limits on leverage imposed by the Investment Company Act of 1940, satisfy margin or collateral requirements, or meet redemption requests.
PRINCIPAL RISKS
The value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate and is subject to investment risks, which means investors could lose money, including all or part of their investment in the Fund. 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. An investment in the Fund does not constitute a complete investment program. The Fund is subject to certain risks and the principal risks of investing in the Fund are summarized below in alphabetical order, and not in the order of importance or potential exposure. The relative significance of each principal risk summarized below may change over time and you should review each risk carefully because any one or more of these risks may result in losses to the Fund. Please see “More Information About the Trust and the Funds – Principal Risks” in the Fund’s Prospectus for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund.
Compounding Risk—In addition to the correlation risks described under “Correlation Risk”, the Fund’s returns are subject to the effects of compounding, which generally will cause the Fund’s performance to not correlate to the performance of the benchmark over periods greater than a single day, before accounting for fees and fund expenses. Compounded returns are the result of reinvesting daily returns over periods greater than a single day. The Fund’s compounded returns for periods greater than a single day will be different than the performance of the benchmark over the same period. The effects of compounding on the performance of the Fund will be more pronounced when the underlying index experiences increased volatility, the greater the leverage employed in the Fund, and over longer holding periods.
Compounding affects the performance of all investments over time, but has a more significant effect on a leveraged index fund because the magnified changes in performance produced by the use of leverage lead to greater increases and decreases in the fund’s daily returns which are then compounded over time. The effects of compounding, therefore, have a more significant effect on the Fund because it seeks to match a multiple of the inverse performance of the Fund’s underlying index on a daily basis.
Fund performance for periods greater than one day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: (a) underlying index performance; (b) underlying index volatility; (c) financing rates associated with leverage; (d) other Fund expenses; (e) dividends or interest paid by companies in the underlying index; and (f) period of time. The table below illustrates the impact of two principal factors – volatility and index performance – on Fund performance. The table shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of performance and volatility over a one-year period. Performance shown in the table assumes: (a) no dividends paid by the companies included in the underlying index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) a cost of leverage of zero percent. If Fund expenses, including the cost of leverage, were included, the Fund’s performance would be lower than shown.

The unshaded areas in the table below represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return more than twice the inverse performance of the underlying index; conversely, the shaded areas in the table below represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return the same or less than twice the inverse performance of the underlying index.

The underlying index’s annualized historical volatility rate for the five-year period ended June 30, 2026 is 20.74%. The underlying index’s highest one-year volatility rate during the five-year period is 26.55%. The underlying index’s annualized performance for the five-year period ended June 30, 2026 is 16.68%.
Historical underlying index volatility and performance are not indications of what the underlying index volatility and performance will be in the future. The table is intended to isolate the effects of the underlying index volatility and index performance on the return of the Fund, and underscore that the Fund is designed as a short-term trading vehicle for investors who intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios.
Correlation Risk—A number of factors may affect the Fund’s ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with its benchmark, including instances in which the Fund does not hold or have exposure to each component security of the underlying index and the effect of compounding on the Fund’s returns, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The Fund does not attempt to, and should not be expected to, provide returns which are an inverse multiple of the returns of the underlying index for periods other than a single day. The risk of the Fund not achieving its daily investment objective will be more acute when the underlying index has an extreme one-day movement approaching 50%. In addition, as a result of compounding, the Fund’s performance for periods greater than a single day is likely to be either greater than or less than the inverse of the performance of the underlying index times the stated multiple in the Fund’s investment objective, before accounting for Fund fees and expenses.
Counterparty Credit Risk—The Fund makes investments in financial instruments and 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, to hedge a position, or for other investment purposes. Through these investments and related arrangements (e.g., prime brokerage or securities lending arrangements or derivatives transactions), the Fund is exposed to credit risks that the counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments or otherwise to meet its contractual obligations. If the counterparty becomes insolvent or defaults on (or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling to perform) its payment or other obligations to the
40 | PROSPECTUS

Fund, the Fund may not receive the full amount that it is entitled to receive or may experience delays in recovering the collateral or other assets held by, or on behalf of, the counterparty. If this occurs, the value of your shares in the Fund will decrease. Counterparty credit risk also includes the related risk of having potentially significant exposure to such counterparty.
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 and other instruments (collectively referred to in this paragraph as “derivatives”) pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other investments, including risks relating to leverage, market conditions and market risk, imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, high price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty credit, liquidity, valuation, operational and legal restrictions and risk. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. In addition, 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. Changes in the value of a derivative also may create sudden margin delivery or settlement payment obligations for the Fund, which can materially affect the performance of the Fund, its liquidity, and other aspects of the Fund’s risk profile. The Fund’s use of derivatives to obtain short exposure may result in greater volatility of the Fund's net asset value (“NAV”) per share. If the Advisor is incorrect about its expectations of market conditions, the use of derivatives also could result in a loss, which in some cases may be unlimited. Certain risks are specific to the particular type of derivative instrument in which the Fund may invest. For example, 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 counterparty, credit, legal, liquidity and valuation risks.
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 include imperfect correlation between the movements in the price of the instruments and the price of the underlying assets. In addition, there is a 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 futures positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Advisor, 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 also are subject to leverage and liquidity risks. The Fund may invest in standard futures contracts, e-mini futures contracts, and micro e-mini futures contracts depending on the investment exposure needs of the Fund. E-mini futures contracts and micro e-mini futures contracts are similar to standard futures contracts, except that they are electronically traded and e-mini futures contracts generally are one-fifth the size of standard futures contracts and micro e-mini futures contracts generally are one-tenth the size of e-mini futures contracts.
Options Risk—Options and 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. Options are subject to correlation risk because there may be an imperfect correlation between the options and the markets for underlying instruments that could cause a given transaction to fail to achieve its objectives. The successful use of options depends on the Advisor’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 options positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Advisor, thus limiting the ability to implement the Fund’s strategies. Options also are particularly subject to leverage risk and can be subject to liquidity risk.
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, for certain standardized swaps, must be traded on a designated contract market or swap execution facility. 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. While exchange trading and central clearing are intended to reduce counterparty credit risk
PROSPECTUS | 41

and increase liquidity, they 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, which could increase the cost of swap transactions to the Fund and impose added operational complexity.
Early Closing Risk—The Fund is subject to the risk that unanticipated early closings of securities exchanges and other financial markets may result in the Fund’s inability to buy or sell securities or other financial instruments on that day and may cause the Fund to incur substantial trading losses.
Equity Securities Risk—Equity securities include common stocks and other equity and equity-related securities (and securities convertible into stocks). The Fund is exposed to the risks of equity securities primarily through its investments in equity-related derivatives and other investments. The prices of equity securities generally fluctuate more than those of 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. 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. An increase in the value of equity securities to which the Fund has exposure will adversely affect the value of your investment in the Fund.
Foreign Issuer Exposure Risk—The Fund may invest in securities of foreign companies directly or in financial instruments that are indirectly linked to the performance of foreign issuers, such as ADRs. The Fund’s exposure to foreign issuers and investments in foreign securities, if any, carry unique, additional and heightened risks when compared to U.S. securities, including, but not limited to: currency fluctuations; adverse political (including geopolitical), social and economic developments; trade restrictions (including tariffs) or other government restrictions by the U.S. or other governments; unreliable, untimely or less publicly available information; less government supervision; reporting, accounting, and auditing standards that are not comparable to those in the United States; less liquidity and more volatility; limited legal recourse; and higher transactional costs.
Industry Concentration Risk—The Fund may concentrate its investments in a limited number of issuers conducting business in the same industry or group of related industries. To the extent the Fund does so, the Fund is more vulnerable to adverse market, economic, regulatory, political or other developments affecting that industry or group of related industries than a fund that invests its assets more broadly. As of June 30, 2026, the underlying index components, and thus the Fund's investments, are concentrated in securities issued by companies in the industries described below.  The industries in which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund's assets, may be concentrated will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. 
Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry. As a result of the Fund's concentration in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry, the Fund is subject to the risks associated with that Industry. The Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry includes manufacturers of semiconductor equipment, including equipment used in the solar power industry (e.g., raw wafers, gases, liquids and related packaging and material delivery systems), and semiconductors and related products, including manufacturers of solar modules, cells, integrated circuit devices, diodes and light-emitting diodes (LEDs), microprocessors and chips. Companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry rely heavily on technology. The prices of the securities of companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry may fluctuate widely due to competitive pressures, increased sensitivity to short product cycles and aggressive pricing, heavy expenses incurred for research and development of products or services that prove unsuccessful, problems related to bringing products to market, and rapid obsolescence of products. Legislative or regulatory changes and increased government supervision also may affect companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry. The Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment Industry is a separate industry within the Information Technology Sector.
Software Industry. As a result of the Fund's concentration in the Software Industry, the Fund is subject to the risks associated with that Industry. The Software Industry includes companies engaged in developing and producing software designed for specialized applications for the business and consumer markets, including enterprise and technical software, cloud-based software and companies engaged in bitcoin mining, and in developing and producing software for operating systems and platforms, database management software and firewalls. The prices of the securities of issuers in the Software Industry may fluctuate widely due to competitive pressures, increased sensitivity to short product cycles and aggressive pricing, heavy expenses incurred for research and development of products or services that prove unsuccessful, challenges related to bringing products to market, and rapid obsolescence of products. In addition, many software companies rely on
42 | PROSPECTUS

a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secret laws to establish and protect their proprietary rights in their products and technologies. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by software companies to protect their proprietary rights will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of their technology or that competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to such companies' technology. Legislative or regulatory changes and increased government supervision also may affect companies in the Software Industry. The Software Industry is a separate industry within the Information Technology Sector.
Interest Rate Risk—Fixed income and other debt instruments are subject to the possibility that interest rates could change (or are expected to change). Changes in interest rates (or the expectation of such changes) can be difficult to forecast and may adversely affect the Fund’s investments in these instruments, such as the value or liquidity of, and income generated by, the investments. Interest rates may change as a result of a variety of factors, and the change may be sudden and significant, with unpredictable impacts on the financial markets and the Fund’s investments. Fixed income and other debt instruments with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates and, thus, subject to more volatility than similar instruments with shorter durations. Generally, when interest rates increase, the values of previously issued fixed income and other debt instruments decline and when interest rates decrease, the values of fixed income and other debt instruments rise. During periods of rising interest rates, changes in interest rates on adjustable rate securities may lag behind changes in market rates, which may cause the value of such securities to decline until their interest rates reset to market rates. During periods of declining interest rates, because the interest rates on adjustable rate securities generally reset downward, their market value is unlikely to rise to the same extent as the value of comparable fixed rate securities. The Fund’s yield, returns, and performance may be adversely affected by changing interest rates and the Fund’s NAV per share may be more volatile during changing interest rate environments. Changes in fiscal, economic, monetary and other policies or measures have in the past, and may in the future, cause or exacerbate the risks associated with changing interest rates. Changes in interest rates may also lead to an increase in Fund redemptions, which may result in high portfolio turnover costs and lower valuations, thereby adversely affecting the Fund’s performance.
Large-Capitalization Securities Risk—The Fund is subject to the risk that large-capitalization securities may outperform 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.
Leveraging Risk—The Fund achieves leveraged exposure to the underlying index through the use of derivative instruments. The more the Fund invests in leveraged instruments, the more this leverage will magnify any losses on those investments. The Fund’s investment in these instruments generally requires a small investment relative to the amount of investment exposure assumed. As a result, such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the amount invested in those instruments. Since the Fund’s investment strategy involves consistently applied leverage, the value of the Fund’s shares will tend to increase or decrease more than the value of any increase or decrease in the underlying index. Leverage will have the effect of magnifying tracking error and also may increase the Fund’s sensitivity to various risks and interest rate environments.
Liquidity and Valuation Risk—It may be difficult for the Fund to purchase and sell particular investments to meet redemption requests or otherwise within a reasonable time at a fair price, or the price at which it has been valued by the Advisor for purposes of the Fund’s NAV, causing the Fund to be less liquid and unable to realize what the Advisor 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. Liquidity and valuation risks are heightened in a changing interest rate or volatile environment particularly for fixed-income and other debt instruments.
Market Risk—The value of, or income generated by, the investments held by the Fund may fluctuate rapidly and unpredictably. These fluctuations may be frequent and significant. In addition, the Fund may incur losses as a result of various market and economic factors, such as those affecting (or perceived to affect) individual companies or issuers or particular industries, or from broader influences, such as general market conditions. In addition, responses to government actions or interventions (including, but not limited, to the threat or imposition of tariffs, trade restrictions, currency restrictions or similar actions) as well as developments related to economic, political (including geopolitical), social, public health, market, extreme weather, natural or man-made disasters or other conditions or
PROSPECTUS | 43

events may cause volatility in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and/or debt markets, which could adversely impact the Fund and its investments and their value and performance. Under such conditions, the Fund (or an underlying fund) may experience significant redemption activity by shareholders and could be forced to sell portfolio securities or other assets at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate sufficient cash to pay redeeming shareholders. Certain securities may be difficult to value under such conditions. The Fund’s investments may perform poorly or underperform the general securities markets or other types of securities.
Non-Diversification Risk—The Fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single issuer's securities could cause greater fluctuations in the value of Fund shares than would occur in a diversified fund. The Fund may become diversified for periods of time solely as a result of changes in the composition of the underlying index (e.g., changes in the relative market capitalization or weights of one or more index component stocks).
OTC Trading Risk—Certain of the derivatives in which the Fund may invest may be traded (and privately negotiated) in the OTC market. While the OTC derivatives market is the primary trading venue for many derivatives, it is largely unregulated and provides for less transparency than a national securities or commodities exchange. As a result and similar to other privately negotiated contracts, the Fund is subject to counterparty credit risk with respect to such derivatives contracts.
Passive Investment Risk—The Fund is not actively managed and the Advisor does not attempt to take defensive positions in rising markets. Therefore, the Fund may be subject to greater losses in a rising market than a fund that is actively managed.
Portfolio Turnover Risk—Periodic rebalancing of the Fund's holdings  pursuant to its daily investment objective may lead to a greater number of portfolio transactions in the Fund than experienced by other mutual funds. Such frequent and active trading may lead to significantly higher transaction costs because of increased broker commissions associated with such transactions.
Regulatory and Legal Risk—U.S. and non-U.S. governmental agencies and other regulators regularly implement additional regulations (or amend regulations) and legislators pass new laws that affect the investments held by the Fund, the strategies used by the Fund and/or the level of regulation or taxation applicable to the Fund, its investments or service providers. These developments impact the investment strategies, performance, costs and operations of the Fund or taxation of shareholders.
Repurchase Agreement Risk—The Fund’s investment in repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk with respect to the collateral securing the repurchase agreements. Investments in repurchase agreements also may be subject to the risk that the market value of the underlying obligations may decline prior to the expiration of the repurchase agreement term.
Sector Risk—To the extent the components of the Fund’s underlying index, and therefore, the Fund’s holdings, have significant exposure to one or more market sectors, the Fund may be especially sensitive to the developments affecting and risks of such market sectors. The sectors to which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund’s assets, may have significant exposure will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. As of June 30, 2026, the Fund is subject to the Sector Risks described below.
Communication Services Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Communication Services Sector. The Communication Services Sector includes companies that facilitate communication and offer related content and information through various mediums. It includes telecom and media & entertainment companies, including producers of interactive gaming products and companies engaged in content and information creation or distribution through proprietary platforms. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Communication Services Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Communication Services Sector has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall economy and also is affected by economic growth, consumer confidence, attitudes and spending. Increased sensitivity to short product cycles and aggressive pricing, challenges in bringing products to market and changes in demographics and consumer tastes also can affect the demand for, and success of, communication services products and services in the marketplace.
44 | PROSPECTUS

Consumer Discretionary Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Consumer Discretionary Sector. The manufacturing segment of the Consumer Discretionary Sector includes automobiles and components, household durable goods, leisure products, and textiles and apparel. The services segment includes hotels, restaurants and other leisure facilities, and distributors and retailers of consumer discretionary products. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Consumer Discretionary Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Consumer Discretionary Sector has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall economy, and also is affected by economic growth, consumer confidence, attitudes and spending. Changes in demographics and consumer tastes also can affect the demand for, and success of, consumer products and services in the marketplace. Moreover, the Consumer Discretionary Sector encompasses those businesses that tend to be the most sensitive to economic cycles.
Consumer Staples Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Consumer Staples Sector. The Consumer Staples Sector includes manufacturers and distributors of food, beverages and tobacco and producers of non-durable household goods and personal products. The Consumer Staples Sector also includes distributors and retailers of other consumer staples products, including food and drug retailing companies. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Consumer Staples Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Consumer Staples Sector has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall economy, and also is affected by consumer confidence, demands and preferences, and spending. In addition, companies in the Consumer Staples Sector may be subject to risks pertaining to the supply of, demand for, and prices of raw materials.
Health Care Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Health Care Sector. The Health Care Sector includes health care providers and services, companies that manufacture and distribute health care equipment and supplies, and health care technology companies. It also includes companies involved in the research, development, production and marketing of pharmaceuticals and biotechnology products. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Health Care Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Health Care Sector is closely tied to government regulation and policies (such as health care reform measures) and may be affected by government approval of products and services, competitive pricing pressures, rising costs of medical products and services, product obsolescence, and product liability and other similar litigation. In addition, companies operating in the Health Care Sector are heavily dependent on patent and other intellectual property rights, and a company’s ability to obtain and protect its patents (or the failure to do so) may affect profitability.
Information Technology Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Information Technology Sector. The Information Technology Sector includes companies that offer software and information technology services, manufacturers and distributors of technology hardware and equipment (such as communications equipment, cellular phones, computers and peripherals), electronic equipment and related equipment and materials, and semiconductors and related equipment and materials. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Information Technology Sector. Companies in the Information Technology Sector may be affected by limited product lines, market competition (both domestically and internationally), financial resources and/or personnel. The prices of the securities of companies operating in the Information Technology Sector are closely tied to increased sensitivity to short product cycles and product obsolescence, aggressive pricing, and problems with bringing products to market. Failure to introduce new products, develop and maintain a loyal customer base, or achieve general market acceptance for products could have a material adverse effect on a company’s business. In addition, companies in the Information Technology Sector are heavily dependent on intellectual property and the loss of patent, copyright and trademark protections may adversely affect the profitability of these companies.
PROSPECTUS | 45

Shareholder Trading Risk—The Fund may be used as a tool for certain investors that employ trading strategies involving frequent trading. Such trading strategies may lead to increased portfolio turnover in the Fund, higher transaction costs, and the possibility of increased short-term capital gains (which will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income when distributed to them) and/or long-term capital gains.  Large movements of assets into and out of the Fund due to active or frequent trading also may adversely affect the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective.
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 and leverage risks. The loss on a short sale or other short exposure, which, in some cases, may be theoretically unlimited, may be 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. Government actions also may affect the Fund’s ability to engage in short selling.
Tracking Error Risk—The Advisor may not be able to cause the Fund’s performance to match that of the Fund’s benchmark, either on a daily or aggregate basis. Factors such as Fund expenses, imperfect correlation between the Fund’s investments and those of the underlying index, rounding of share prices, changes to the composition of the underlying index, regulatory policies, high portfolio turnover rate, and the use of leverage all contribute to tracking error. Tracking error may cause the Fund’s performance to be less than you expect.
Trading Halt Risk—The Fund typically will hold futures contracts and short-term options. The major exchanges on which these contracts are traded, such as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, have established limits on how much the trading price of a futures contract or option may decline over various time periods within a day, and may halt trading in a contract that exceeds such limits. If a trading halt occurs, the Fund may temporarily be unable to purchase or sell certain securities, futures contracts or options. Such a trading halt near the time the Fund prices its shares may limit the Fund’s ability to use leverage and fully invest its assets, which could increase tracking error and adversely affect performance, and may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
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. In addition, U.S. government securities not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government involve credit risk that is greater than other types of U.S. government securities.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
The bar chart below shows the performance of the Class H shares of the Fund from year to year. The variability of performance over time provides an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The table below shows the performance of the Class H shares of the Fund as an average over different periods of time in comparison to the performance of a broad-based securities market index intended to represent the overall market (S&P 500® Index) and the Fund's underlying index (NASDAQ-100 Index®). The Fund does not seek to track the S&P 500® Index. The figures in the bar chart and table assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. The performance information below reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. Of course, this past performance (before and after taxes) does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform in the future.

PURCHASE AND SALE OF FUND SHARES
The minimum initial investment amounts and minimum account balance requirements for Class H accounts held through a third party (e.g., a brokerage account) are typically:
$1,000 for retirement accounts
$2,500 for all other accounts
Class H accounts opened through a financial intermediary (non-direct) will be subject to your financial intermediary’s minimum initial investment amount and account balance requirements, which may be different than the amounts above.
Class H accounts held directly at Guggenheim Investments (other than those that are managed by financial professionals) are subject to a minimum initial investment and account balance of $5,000 (including retirement accounts).
Direct accounts managed by financial professionals are not subject to minimum initial investment and minimum account balance requirements.
There are no minimum amounts for subsequent investments in the Fund except for subsequent investments made via Automated Clearing House (“ACH”).
The Fund reserves the right to modify its minimum account balance requirements at any time, with or without prior notice to you.
The Fund redeems its shares continuously and investors may sell their shares back to the Fund on any day that the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) is open for business (a “Business Day”). 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 Fund also offers you the option to send redemption orders to Guggenheim Investments by mail, fax or telephone.
TAX INFORMATION
Fund distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income or capital gains (or a combination of both), unless your investment is in an individual retirement account or other tax-advantaged retirement account. Investments through a tax-advantaged retirement account may be subject to taxation upon withdrawal.
PAYMENTS TO BROKER-DEALERS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES
If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), 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.

Dow 2x Strategy Fund
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The Dow 2x Strategy Fund (the “Fund”) is very different from most other mutual funds in that it seeks daily leveraged investment results. As a result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the performance of an investment in the Fund is magnified.
The effect of leverage on the Fund will generally cause the Fund’s performance to not match the performance of the Fund’s benchmark (as described below) over a period of time greater than a single trading day. This means that the return of the Fund for a period of longer than a single trading day will be the result of each day’s compounded returns over the period, which will very likely differ from twice the return of the Fund’s underlying index (as defined below) for that period. As a consequence, especially in periods of market volatility, the path or trend of the benchmark during the longer period may be at least as important to the Fund’s cumulative return for the longer period as the cumulative return of the benchmark for the relevant longer period. Further, the return for investors who invest for a period longer than a single trading day will not be the product of the return of the Fund’s stated investment goal (i.e., 2x) and the cumulative performance of the benchmark.
The Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund should be utilized only by investors who (a) understand the risks associated with the use of leverage, (b) understand the consequences of seeking daily leveraged investment results, and (c) intend to actively monitor and manage their investments. Investors who do not meet these criteria should not buy shares of the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a complete investment program.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The Fund seeks to provide investment results that match, before fees and expenses, the performance of a specific benchmark on a daily basis. The Fund’s current benchmark is 200% of the performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average® (the “underlying index”). The Fund does not seek to achieve its investment objective over a period of time greater than one day.

The Advisor has contractually agreed, through August 1, 2027, to waive and/or reimburse the Fund’s expenses in an amount equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. In addition, the Advisor also has contractually agreed, through August 1, 2027, to waive and/or reimburse the Fund’s expenses in an additional amount equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Each agreement shall automatically renew for one-year terms unless the Advisor provides written notice to the Fund of the termination of the agreement. Each agreement may be terminated at any time by the Fund’s Board of Trustees and when the Advisor ceases to serve as such.

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 your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

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 the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 492% of the average value of its portfolio. The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments and most derivatives. If such instruments were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate might be significantly higher.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Fund employs as its investment strategy a program of investing in the common stock of companies that are generally within the capitalization range of the underlying index and derivative instruments, which primarily consist of equity index swaps and swaps on exchange-traded funds, futures contracts, and options on securities, futures contracts, and stock indices. While the Fund may write (sell) and purchase swaps, it expects primarily to purchase swaps. Swap agreements and futures and options contracts, if used properly, may enable the Fund to meet its objective by increasing the Fund’s exposure to the securities included in the underlying index or in the same proportion that those securities are represented in the Fund's benchmark. The Fund’s investment in derivatives referencing (i) the underlying index, or (ii) securities included in the underlying index, serves as a substitute for investments in each of the securities of companies included in the underlying index and will be counted towards the Fund’s 80% investment policy (as set forth below). The Advisor attempts to consistently apply leverage to increase the Fund's exposure to 200% of the underlying index and expects to rebalance the Fund's holdings daily to maintain such exposure. The Fund’s use of derivatives and the leveraged investment exposure created by such use are expected to be significant. Certain of the Fund’s derivatives investments may be traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in securities of companies included in the Dow Jones Industrial Average® and financial instruments with economic characteristics that should perform similarly to the securities of companies in the Dow Jones Industrial Average®.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average® is a price-weighted index of 30 “blue chip” U.S. stocks, which generally represent large-capitalization companies with a capitalization range of $60.7 billion to $4.8 trillion as of June 30, 2026. To the extent the Fund’s underlying index is concentrated in a particular industry the Fund will necessarily be concentrated in that industry. The industries in which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund's investments, may be concentrated will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. While the Fund's sector exposure may vary over time, as of June 30, 2026, the Fund has significant exposure to the Consumer Discretionary Sector, Financials Sector, Health Care Sector, Industrials Sector, and Information Technology Sector, as each sector is defined by the Global Industry Classification Standard, a widely recognized industry classification methodology developed by MSCI, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC.
On a day-to-day basis, the Fund may hold U.S. government securities or cash equivalents. The Fund also may enter into repurchase agreements with counterparties that are deemed to present acceptable credit risks. In an effort to ensure that the Fund is fully invested on a day-to-day basis, the Fund may conduct any necessary trading activity at or just prior to the close of the U.S. financial markets. 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.
Investments in derivative instruments, such as futures, options and swap agreements, have the economic effect of creating financial leverage in the Fund’s portfolio because such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the amount the Fund has invested in those instruments. Financial leverage will magnify, sometimes significantly, the Fund’s exposure to any increase or decrease in prices associated with a particular reference asset resulting in
50 | PROSPECTUS

increased volatility in the value of the Fund’s portfolio. The value of the Fund’s portfolio is likely to experience greater volatility over short-term periods. While such financial leverage has the potential to produce greater gains, it also may result in greater losses, which in some cases may cause the Fund to liquidate other portfolio investments at a loss to comply with limits on leverage imposed by the Investment Company Act of 1940, satisfy margin or collateral requirements, or meet redemption requests.
PRINCIPAL RISKS
The value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate and is subject to investment risks, which means investors could lose money, including all or part of their investment in the Fund. 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. An investment in the Fund does not constitute a complete investment program. The Fund is subject to certain risks and the principal risks of investing in the Fund are summarized below in alphabetical order, and not in the order of importance or potential exposure. The relative significance of each principal risk summarized below may change over time and you should review each risk carefully because any one or more of these risks may result in losses to the Fund. Please see “More Information About the Trust and the Funds – Principal Risks” in the Fund’s Prospectus for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund.
Compounding Risk—In addition to the correlation risks described under “Correlation Risk”, the Fund’s returns are subject to the effects of compounding, which generally will cause the Fund’s performance to not correlate to the performance of the benchmark over periods greater than a single day, before accounting for fees and fund expenses. Compounded returns are the result of reinvesting daily returns over periods greater than a single day. The Fund’s compounded returns for periods greater than a single day will be different than the performance of the benchmark over the same period. The effects of compounding on the performance of the Fund will be more pronounced when the underlying index experiences increased volatility, the greater the leverage employed in the Fund, and over longer holding periods.
Compounding affects the performance of all investments over time, but has a more significant effect on a leveraged index fund because the magnified changes in performance produced by the use of leverage lead to greater increases and decreases in the fund’s daily returns which are then compounded over time. The effects of compounding, therefore, have a more significant effect on the Fund because it seeks to match a multiple of the performance of the Fund’s underlying index on a daily basis.
Fund performance for periods greater than one day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: (a) underlying index performance; (b) underlying index volatility; (c) financing rates associated with leverage; (d) other Fund expenses; (e) dividends or interest paid by companies in the underlying index; and (f) period of time. The table below illustrates the impact of two principal factors – volatility and index performance – on Fund performance. The table shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of performance and volatility over a one-year period. Performance shown in the table assumes: (a) no dividends paid by the companies included in the underlying index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) a cost of leverage of zero percent. If Fund expenses, including the cost of leverage, were included, the Fund’s performance would be lower than shown.

The underlying index’s annualized historical volatility rate for the five-year period ended June 30, 2026 is 14.98%. The underlying index’s highest one-year volatility rate during the five-year period is 21.79%. The underlying index’s annualized performance for the five-year period ended June 30, 2026 is 10.78%.
Historical underlying index volatility and performance are not indications of what the underlying index volatility and performance will be in the future. The table is intended to isolate the effects of the underlying index volatility and index performance on the return of the Fund, and underscore that the Fund is designed as a short-term trading vehicle for investors who intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios.
Correlation Risk—A number of factors may affect the Fund’s ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with its benchmark, including instances in which the Fund does not hold or have exposure to each component security of the underlying index and the effect of compounding on the Fund’s returns, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The Fund does not attempt to, and should not be expected to, provide returns  which are a multiple of the returns of the underlying index for periods other than a single day. The risk of the Fund not achieving its daily investment objective will be more acute when the underlying index has an extreme one-day movement approaching 50%. In addition, as a result of compounding, the Fund’s performance for periods greater than a single day is likely to be either greater than or less than the performance of the underlying index times the stated multiple in the Fund’s investment objective, before accounting for Fund fees and expenses.
Counterparty Credit Risk—The Fund makes investments in financial instruments and 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, to hedge a position, or for other investment purposes. Through these investments and related arrangements (e.g., prime brokerage or securities lending arrangements or derivatives transactions), the Fund is exposed to credit risks that the counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments or otherwise to meet its contractual obligations. If the counterparty becomes insolvent or defaults on (or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling to perform) its payment or other obligations to the
52 | PROSPECTUS

Fund, the Fund may not receive the full amount that it is entitled to receive or may experience delays in recovering the collateral or other assets held by, or on behalf of, the counterparty. If this occurs, the value of your shares in the Fund will decrease. Counterparty credit risk also includes the related risk of having potentially significant exposure to such counterparty.
Derivatives Risk—Derivatives and other instruments (collectively referred to in this paragraph as “derivatives”) pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other investments, including risks relating to leverage, market conditions and market risk, imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, high price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty credit, liquidity, valuation, operational and legal restrictions and risk. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. In addition, 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. Changes in the value of a derivative also may create sudden margin delivery or settlement payment obligations for the Fund, which can materially affect the performance of the Fund, its liquidity, and other aspects of the Fund’s risk profile. The Fund’s use of derivatives to obtain short exposure, if any,  may result in greater volatility of the Fund's net asset value (“NAV”) per share. If the Advisor is incorrect about its expectations of market conditions, the use of derivatives also could result in a loss, which in some cases may be unlimited. Certain risks are specific to the particular type of derivative instrument in which the Fund may invest. For example, 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 counterparty, credit, legal, liquidity and valuation risks.
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 include imperfect correlation between the movements in the price of the instruments and the price of the underlying assets. In addition, there is a 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 futures positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Advisor, 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 also are subject to leverage and liquidity risks. The Fund may invest in standard futures contracts, e-mini futures contracts, and micro e-mini futures contracts depending on the investment exposure needs of the Fund. E-mini futures contracts and micro e-mini futures contracts are similar to standard futures contracts, except that they are electronically traded and e-mini futures contracts generally are one-fifth the size of standard futures contracts and micro e-mini futures contracts generally are one-tenth the size of e-mini futures contracts.
Options Risk—Options and 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. Options are subject to correlation risk because there may be an imperfect correlation between the options and the markets for underlying instruments that could cause a given transaction to fail to achieve its objectives. The successful use of options depends on the Advisor’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 options positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Advisor, thus limiting the ability to implement the Fund’s strategies. Options also are particularly subject to leverage risk and can be subject to liquidity risk.
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, for certain standardized swaps, must be traded on a designated contract market or swap execution facility. 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. While exchange trading and central clearing are intended to reduce counterparty credit risk and increase liquidity, they 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, which could increase the cost of swap transactions to the Fund and impose added operational complexity.
Early Closing Risk—The Fund is subject to the risk that unanticipated early closings of securities exchanges and other financial markets may result in the Fund’s inability to buy or sell securities or other financial instruments on that day and may cause the Fund to incur substantial trading losses.
PROSPECTUS | 53

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 more than those of 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.
Industry Concentration Risk—The Fund may concentrate its investments in a limited number of issuers conducting business in the same industry or group of related industries. To the extent the Fund does so, the Fund is more vulnerable to adverse market, economic, regulatory, political or other developments affecting that industry or group of related industries than a fund that invests its assets more broadly. The industries in which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund's assets, may be concentrated will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. 
Interest Rate Risk—Fixed income and other debt instruments are subject to the possibility that interest rates could change (or are expected to change). Changes in interest rates (or the expectation of such changes) can be difficult to forecast and may adversely affect the Fund’s investments in these instruments, such as the value or liquidity of, and income generated by, the investments. Interest rates may change as a result of a variety of factors, and the change may be sudden and significant, with unpredictable impacts on the financial markets and the Fund’s investments. Fixed income and other debt instruments with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates and, thus, subject to more volatility than similar instruments with shorter durations. Generally, when interest rates increase, the values of previously issued fixed income and other debt instruments decline and when interest rates decrease, the values of fixed income and other debt instruments rise. During periods of rising interest rates, changes in interest rates on adjustable rate securities may lag behind changes in market rates, which may cause the value of such securities to decline until their interest rates reset to market rates. During periods of declining interest rates, because the interest rates on adjustable rate securities generally reset downward, their market value is unlikely to rise to the same extent as the value of comparable fixed rate securities. The Fund’s yield, returns, and performance may be adversely affected by changing interest rates and the Fund’s NAV per share may be more volatile during changing interest rate environments. Changes in fiscal, economic, monetary and other policies or measures have in the past, and may in the future, cause or exacerbate the risks associated with changing interest rates. Changes in interest rates may also lead to an increase in Fund redemptions, which may result in high portfolio turnover costs and lower valuations, thereby adversely affecting the Fund’s performance.
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.
Leveraging Risk—The Fund achieves leveraged exposure to the underlying index through the use of derivative instruments. The more the Fund invests in leveraged instruments, the more this leverage will magnify any losses on those investments. The Fund’s investment in these instruments generally requires a small investment relative to the amount of investment exposure assumed. As a result, such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the amount invested in those instruments. Since the Fund’s investment strategy involves consistently applied leverage, the value of the Fund’s shares will tend to increase or decrease more than the value of any increase or decrease in the underlying index. Leverage will have the effect of magnifying tracking error and also may increase the Fund’s sensitivity to various risks and interest rate environments.
Liquidity and Valuation Risk—It may be difficult for the Fund to purchase and sell particular investments to meet redemption requests or otherwise within a reasonable time at a fair price, or the price at which it has been valued by the Advisor for purposes of the Fund’s NAV, causing the Fund to be less liquid and unable to realize what the Advisor 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. Liquidity and valuation risks are heightened in a changing interest rate or volatile environment particularly for fixed-income and other debt instruments.
54 | PROSPECTUS

Market Risk—The value of, or income generated by, the investments held by the Fund may fluctuate rapidly and unpredictably. These fluctuations may be frequent and significant. In addition, the Fund may incur losses as a result of various market and economic factors, such as those affecting (or perceived to affect) individual companies or issuers or particular industries, or from broader influences, such as general market conditions. In addition, responses to government actions or interventions (including, but not limited, to the threat or imposition of tariffs, trade restrictions, currency restrictions or similar actions) as well as developments related to economic, political (including geopolitical), social, public health, market, extreme weather, natural or man-made disasters or other conditions or events may cause volatility in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and/or debt markets, which could adversely impact the Fund and its investments and their value and performance. Under such conditions, the Fund (or an underlying fund) may experience significant redemption activity by shareholders and could be forced to sell portfolio securities or other assets at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate sufficient cash to pay redeeming shareholders. Certain securities may be difficult to value under such conditions. The Fund’s investments may perform poorly or underperform the general securities markets or other types of securities.
Non-Diversification Risk—The Fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single issuer's securities could cause greater fluctuations in the value of Fund shares than would occur in a diversified fund. The Fund may become diversified for periods of time solely as a result of changes in the composition of the underlying index (e.g., changes in the relative market capitalization or weights of one or more index component stocks).
OTC Trading Risk—Certain of the derivatives in which the Fund may invest may be traded (and privately negotiated) in the OTC market. While the OTC derivatives market is the primary trading venue for many derivatives, it is largely unregulated and provides for less transparency than a national securities or commodities exchange. As a result and similar to other privately negotiated contracts, the Fund is subject to counterparty credit risk with respect to such derivatives contracts.
Passive Investment Risk—The Fund is not actively managed and the Advisor does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. Therefore, the Fund may be subject to greater losses in a declining market than a fund that is actively managed.
Portfolio Turnover Risk—Periodic rebalancing of the Fund's holdings  pursuant to its daily investment objective may lead to a greater number of portfolio transactions in the Fund than experienced by other mutual funds. Such frequent and active trading may lead to significantly higher transaction costs because of increased broker commissions associated with such transactions.
Regulatory and Legal Risk—U.S. and non-U.S. governmental agencies and other regulators regularly implement additional regulations (or amend regulations) and legislators pass new laws that affect the investments held by the Fund, the strategies used by the Fund and/or the level of regulation or taxation applicable to the Fund, its investments or service providers. These developments impact the investment strategies, performance, costs and operations of the Fund or taxation of shareholders.
Repurchase Agreement Risk—The Fund’s investment in repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk with respect to the collateral securing the repurchase agreements. Investments in repurchase agreements also may be subject to the risk that the market value of the underlying obligations may decline prior to the expiration of the repurchase agreement term.
Sector Risk—To the extent the components of the Fund’s underlying index, and therefore, the Fund’s holdings, have significant exposure to one or more market sectors, the Fund may be especially sensitive to the developments affecting and risks of such market sectors. The sectors to which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund’s assets, may have significant exposure will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. As of June 30, 2026, the Fund is subject to the Sector Risks described below.
Consumer Discretionary Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Consumer Discretionary Sector. The manufacturing segment of the Consumer Discretionary Sector includes automobiles and components, household durable goods, leisure products, and textiles and apparel. The services segment includes hotels, restaurants and other leisure facilities, and distributors and retailers of consumer discretionary products. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Consumer Discretionary Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Consumer Discretionary Sector has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall
PROSPECTUS | 55

economy, and also is affected by economic growth, consumer confidence, attitudes and spending. Changes in demographics and consumer tastes also can affect the demand for, and success of, consumer products and services in the marketplace. Moreover, the Consumer Discretionary Sector encompasses those businesses that tend to be the most sensitive to economic cycles.
Financials Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Financials Sector. The Financials Sector includes companies involved in banking, financial services (including commercial and residential mortgage finance), consumer finance, capital markets (including asset management and custody banks, investment banking and brokerage), Mortgage Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), and insurance. Certain Financials Sector issuers serve as counterparties with which the Fund may enter into derivatives agreements or other similar contractual arrangements. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Financials Sector, which may adversely affect a company's ability to fulfill its obligations as a financial counterparty. Companies operating in the Financials Sector are subject to extensive government regulation, which may limit the financial commitments they can make and the interest rates and fees they can charge. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and may fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition.
Health Care Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Health Care Sector. The Health Care Sector includes health care providers and services, companies that manufacture and distribute health care equipment and supplies, and health care technology companies. It also includes companies involved in the research, development, production and marketing of pharmaceuticals and biotechnology products. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Health Care Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Health Care Sector is closely tied to government regulation and policies (such as health care reform measures) and may be affected by government approval of products and services, competitive pricing pressures, rising costs of medical products and services, product obsolescence, and product liability and other similar litigation. In addition, companies operating in the Health Care Sector are heavily dependent on patent and other intellectual property rights, and a company’s ability to obtain and protect its patents (or the failure to do so) may affect profitability.
Industrials Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Industrials Sector. The Industrials Sector includes manufacturers and distributors of capital goods, such as aerospace and defense, building projects, electrical equipment and machinery, and companies that offer construction and engineering services. The Industrials Sector also includes providers of commercial and professional services including printing, environmental and facilities services, office services and supplies, security and alarm services, human resource and employment services, research and consulting services, and transportation services. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Industrials Sector. The prices of the securities of companies operating in the Industrials Sector may fluctuate due to the level and volatility of commodity prices, the exchange value of the dollar and economic conditions, import controls, worldwide competition, product liability claims, liability for environmental damage, depletion of resources, and mandated expenditures for safety and pollution control devices. In addition, the products of companies operating in the Industrials Sector may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments and the rapid introduction of new products.
Information Technology Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Information Technology Sector. The Information Technology Sector includes companies that offer software and information technology services, manufacturers and distributors of technology hardware and equipment (such as communications equipment, cellular phones, computers and peripherals), electronic equipment and related equipment and materials, and semiconductors and related equipment and materials. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Information Technology Sector. Companies in the Information Technology Sector may be affected by limited product lines, market competition (both domestically and internationally), financial resources and/or personnel. The prices of the securities of companies operating in the Information Technology Sector are closely tied to increased sensitivity to short product cycles and product obsolescence, aggressive pricing, and problems with bringing
56 | PROSPECTUS

products to market. Failure to introduce new products, develop and maintain a loyal customer base, or achieve general market acceptance for products could have a material adverse effect on a company’s business. In addition, companies in the Information Technology Sector are heavily dependent on intellectual property and the loss of patent, copyright and trademark protections may adversely affect the profitability of these companies.
Shareholder Trading Risk—The Fund may be used as a tool for certain investors that employ trading strategies involving frequent trading. Such trading strategies may lead to increased portfolio turnover in the Fund, higher transaction costs, and the possibility of increased short-term capital gains (which will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income when distributed to them) and/or long-term capital gains.  Large movements of assets into and out of the Fund due to active or frequent trading also may adversely affect the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective.
Tracking Error Risk—The Advisor may not be able to cause the Fund’s performance to match that of the Fund’s benchmark, either on a daily or aggregate basis. Factors such as Fund expenses, imperfect correlation between the Fund’s investments and those of the underlying index, rounding of share prices, changes to the composition of the underlying index, regulatory policies, high portfolio turnover rate, and the use of leverage all contribute to tracking error. Tracking error may cause the Fund’s performance to be less than you expect.
Trading Halt Risk—The Fund typically will hold futures contracts and short-term options. The major exchanges on which these contracts are traded, such as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, have established limits on how much the trading price of a futures contract or option may decline over various time periods within a day, and may halt trading in a contract that exceeds such limits. If a trading halt occurs, the Fund may temporarily be unable to purchase or sell certain securities, futures contracts or options. Such a trading halt near the time the Fund prices its shares may limit the Fund’s ability to use leverage and fully invest its assets, which could increase tracking error and adversely affect performance, and may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
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. In addition, U.S. government securities not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government involve credit risk that is greater than other types of U.S. government securities.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
The bar chart below shows the performance of the Class H shares of the Fund from year to year. The variability of performance over time provides an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The table below shows the performance of the Class H shares of the Fund as an average over different periods of time in comparison to the performance of a broad-based securities market index intended to represent the overall market (S&P 500® Index) and the Fund's underlying index (Dow Jones Industrial Average®). The Fund does not seek to track the S&P 500® Index. The figures in the bar chart and table assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. The performance information below reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. Of course, this past performance (before and after taxes) does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform in the future.

PURCHASE AND SALE OF FUND SHARES
The minimum initial investment amounts and minimum account balance requirements for Class H accounts held through a third party (e.g., a brokerage account) are typically:
$1,000 for retirement accounts
$2,500 for all other accounts
Class H accounts opened through a financial intermediary (non-direct) will be subject to your financial intermediary’s minimum initial investment amount and account balance requirements, which may be different than the amounts above.
Class H accounts held directly at Guggenheim Investments (other than those that are managed by financial professionals) are subject to a minimum initial investment and account balance of $5,000 (including retirement accounts).
Direct accounts managed by financial professionals are not subject to minimum initial investment and minimum account balance requirements.
There are no minimum amounts for subsequent investments in the Fund except for subsequent investments made via Automated Clearing House (“ACH”).
The Fund reserves the right to modify its minimum account balance requirements at any time, with or without prior notice to you.
The Fund redeems its shares continuously and investors may sell their shares back to the Fund on any day that the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) is open for business (a “Business Day”). 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 Fund also offers you the option to send redemption orders to Guggenheim Investments by mail, fax or telephone.
TAX INFORMATION
Fund distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income, qualified dividend income, or capital gains (or a combination thereof), unless your investment is in an individual retirement account or other tax-advantaged retirement account. Investments through a tax-advantaged retirement account may be subject to taxation upon withdrawal.
PAYMENTS TO BROKER-DEALERS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES
If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), 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.

Inverse Dow 2x Strategy Fund
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The Inverse Dow 2x Strategy Fund (the “Fund”) is very different from most other mutual funds in that it seeks to provide leveraged investment results that match twice the inverse of the performance of a specific underlying index on a daily basis, a result opposite of most mutual funds. As a result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the performance of an investment in the Fund is magnified.
The effect of leverage on the Fund will generally cause the Fund’s performance to not match the performance of the Fund’s benchmark (as described below) over a period of time greater than a single trading day. This means that the return of the Fund for a period of longer than a single trading day will be the result of each day’s compounded returns over the period, which will very likely differ from twice the inverse return of the Fund’s underlying index (as defined below) for that period. As a consequence, especially in periods of market volatility, the path or trend of the benchmark during the longer period may be at least as important to the Fund’s cumulative return for the longer period as the cumulative return of the benchmark for the relevant longer period. Further, the return for investors who invest for a period longer than a single trading day will not be the product of the return of the Fund’s stated investment goal (i.e., -2x) and the cumulative performance of the benchmark.
The Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund should be utilized only by investors who (a) understand the risks associated with the use of leverage, (b) understand the consequences of seeking daily leveraged investment results, (c) understand the risks of shorting and (d) intend to actively monitor and manage their investments. Investors who do not meet these criteria should not buy shares of the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a complete investment program.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The Fund seeks to provide investment results that match, before fees and expenses, the performance of a specific benchmark on a daily basis.  The Fund’s current benchmark is 200% of the inverse (opposite) of the performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average® (the “underlying index”). The Fund does not seek to achieve its investment objective over a period of time greater than one day.
FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE FUND
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell Class H shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.

The Advisor has contractually agreed, through August 1, 2027, to waive and/or reimburse the Fund’s expenses in an amount equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. In addition, the Advisor also has contractually agreed, through August 1, 2027, to waive and/or reimburse the Fund’s expenses in an additional amount equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.05% of the
60 | PROSPECTUS

Fund’s average daily net assets. Each agreement shall automatically renew for one-year terms unless the Advisor provides written notice to the Fund of the termination of the agreement. Each agreement may be terminated at any time by the Fund’s Board of Trustees and when the Advisor ceases to serve as such.
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 your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

$2,193
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 the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its portfolio. The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments and most derivatives. If such instruments were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate might be significantly higher.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Fund employs as its investment strategy a program of engaging in short sales of securities generally included in the underlying index and investing in derivative instruments, which primarily consist of equity index swaps and swaps on exchange-traded funds, futures contracts, and options on securities, securities indices, and futures contracts. While the Fund may write (sell) and purchase swaps, it expects primarily to write swaps. The Advisor attempts to consistently apply leverage to increase the Fund's exposure to -200% of the underlying index and expects to rebalance the Fund's holdings daily to maintain such exposure. The Fund’s investment in derivatives referencing (i) the underlying index, or (ii) securities included in the underlying index, serves as a substitute for directly selling short each of the securities included in the underlying index and produces inverse exposure to the underlying index and to securities of companies included in the underlying index. These instruments will be counted towards the Fund’s 80% investment policy (as set forth below). Certain of the Fund’s derivatives investments may be traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in financial instruments with economic characteristics that should perform inversely to the securities of companies included in the Dow Jones Industrial Average®.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average® is a price-weighted index of 30 “blue chip” U.S. stocks, which generally represent large-capitalization companies with a capitalization range of $60.7 billion to $4.8 trillion as of June 30, 2026. To the extent the Fund’s underlying index is concentrated in a particular industry the Fund will necessarily be concentrated in that industry. The industries in which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund’s investments, may be concentrated will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. While the Fund’s sector exposure may vary over time, as of June 30, 2026, the Fund has significant exposure to the Consumer Discretionary Sector, Financials Sector, Health Care Sector, Industrials Sector, and Information Technology Sector, as each sector is defined by the Global Industry Classification Standard, a widely recognized industry classification methodology developed by MSCI, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC.
On a day-to-day basis, the Fund may hold U.S. government securities or cash equivalents. The Fund also may enter into repurchase agreements with counterparties that are deemed to present acceptable credit risks. In an effort to ensure that the Fund is fully invested on a day-to-day basis, the Fund may conduct any necessary trading activity at or just prior to the close of the U.S. financial markets. 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.
Investments in derivative instruments, such as futures, options and swap agreements, have the economic effect of creating financial leverage in the Fund’s portfolio because such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the amount the Fund has invested in those instruments. Financial leverage will magnify, sometimes significantly, the Fund’s exposure to any increase or decrease in prices associated with a particular reference asset resulting in increased volatility in the value of the Fund’s portfolio. The value of the Fund’s portfolio is likely to experience greater
PROSPECTUS | 61

volatility over short-term periods. While such financial leverage has the potential to produce greater gains, it also may result in greater losses, which in some cases may cause the Fund to liquidate other portfolio investments at a loss to comply with limits on leverage imposed by the Investment Company Act of 1940, satisfy margin or collateral requirements, or meet redemption requests.
PRINCIPAL RISKS
The value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate and is subject to investment risks, which means investors could lose money, including all or part of their investment in the Fund. 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. An investment in the Fund does not constitute a complete investment program. The Fund is subject to certain risks and the principal risks of investing in the Fund are summarized below in alphabetical order, and not in the order of importance or potential exposure. The relative significance of each principal risk summarized below may change over time and you should review each risk carefully because any one or more of these risks may result in losses to the Fund. Please see “More Information About the Trust and the Funds – Principal Risks” in the Fund’s Prospectus for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund.
Compounding Risk—In addition to the correlation risks described under “Correlation Risk”, the Fund’s returns are subject to the effects of compounding, which generally will cause the Fund’s performance to not correlate to the performance of the benchmark over periods greater than a single day, before accounting for fees and fund expenses. Compounded returns are the result of reinvesting daily returns over periods greater than a single day. The Fund’s compounded returns for periods greater than a single day will be different than the performance of the benchmark over the same period. The effects of compounding on the performance of the Fund will be more pronounced when the underlying index experiences increased volatility, the greater the leverage employed in the Fund, and over longer holding periods.
Compounding affects the performance of all investments over time, but has a more significant effect on a leveraged index fund because the magnified changes in performance produced by the use of leverage lead to greater increases and decreases in the fund’s daily returns which are then compounded over time. The effects of compounding, therefore, have a more significant effect on the Fund because it seeks to match a multiple of the inverse performance of the Fund’s underlying index on a daily basis.
Fund performance for periods greater than one day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: (a) underlying index performance; (b) underlying index volatility; (c) financing rates associated with leverage; (d) other Fund expenses; (e) dividends or interest paid by companies in the underlying index; and (f) period of time. The table below illustrates the impact of two principal factors – volatility and index performance – on Fund performance. The table shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of performance and volatility over a one-year period. Performance shown in the table assumes: (a) no dividends paid by the companies included in the underlying index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) a cost of leverage of zero percent. If Fund expenses, including the cost of leverage, were included, the Fund’s performance would be lower than shown.

The underlying index’s annualized historical volatility rate for the five-year period ended June 30, 2026 is 14.98%. The underlying index’s highest one-year volatility rate during the five-year period is 21.79%. The underlying index’s annualized performance for the five-year period ended June 30, 2026 is 10.78%.
Historical underlying index volatility and performance are not indications of what the underlying index volatility and performance will be in the future. The table is intended to isolate the effects of the underlying index volatility and index performance on the return of the Fund, and underscore that the Fund is designed as a short-term trading vehicle for investors who intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios.
Correlation Risk—A number of factors may affect the Fund’s ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with its benchmark, including instances in which the Fund does not hold or have exposure to each component security of the underlying index and the effect of compounding on the Fund’s returns, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The Fund does not attempt to, and should not be expected to, provide returns which are an inverse multiple of the returns of the underlying index for periods other than a single day. The risk of the Fund not achieving its daily investment objective will be more acute when the underlying index has an extreme one-day movement approaching 50%. In addition, as a result of compounding, the Fund’s performance for periods greater than a single day is likely to be either greater than or less than the inverse of the performance of the underlying index times the stated multiple in the Fund’s investment objective, before accounting for Fund fees and expenses.
Counterparty Credit Risk—The Fund makes investments in financial instruments and 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, to hedge a position, or for other investment purposes. Through these investments and related arrangements (e.g., prime brokerage or securities lending arrangements or derivatives transactions), the Fund is exposed to credit risks that the counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments or otherwise to meet its contractual obligations. If the counterparty becomes insolvent or defaults on (or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling to perform) its payment or other obligations to the
PROSPECTUS | 63

Fund, the Fund may not receive the full amount that it is entitled to receive or may experience delays in recovering the collateral or other assets held by, or on behalf of, the counterparty. If this occurs, the value of your shares in the Fund will decrease. Counterparty credit risk also includes the related risk of having potentially significant exposure to such counterparty.
Derivatives Risk—Derivatives and other instruments (collectively referred to in this paragraph as “derivatives”) pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other investments, including risks relating to leverage, market conditions and market risk, imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, high price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty credit, liquidity, valuation, operational and legal restrictions and risk. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. In addition, 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. Changes in the value of a derivative also may create sudden margin delivery or settlement payment obligations for the Fund, which can materially affect the performance of the Fund, its liquidity, and other aspects of the Fund’s risk profile. The Fund’s use of derivatives to obtain short exposure may result in greater volatility of the Fund's net asset value (“NAV”) per share. If the Advisor is incorrect about its expectations of market conditions, the use of derivatives also could result in a loss, which in some cases may be unlimited. Certain risks are specific to the particular type of derivative instrument in which the Fund may invest. For example, 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 counterparty, credit, legal, liquidity and valuation risks.
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 include imperfect correlation between the movements in the price of the instruments and the price of the underlying assets. In addition, there is a 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 futures positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Advisor, 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 also are subject to leverage and liquidity risks. The Fund may invest in standard futures contracts, e-mini futures contracts, and micro e-mini futures contracts depending on the investment exposure needs of the Fund. E-mini futures contracts and micro e-mini futures contracts are similar to standard futures contracts, except that they are electronically traded and e-mini futures contracts generally are one-fifth the size of standard futures contracts and micro e-mini futures contracts generally are one-tenth the size of e-mini futures contracts.
Options Risk—Options and 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. Options are subject to correlation risk because there may be an imperfect correlation between the options and the markets for underlying instruments that could cause a given transaction to fail to achieve its objectives. The successful use of options depends on the Advisor’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 options positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Advisor, thus limiting the ability to implement the Fund’s strategies. Options also are particularly subject to leverage risk and can be subject to liquidity risk.
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, for certain standardized swaps, must be traded on a designated contract market or swap execution facility. 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. While exchange trading and central clearing are intended to reduce counterparty credit risk and increase liquidity, they 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, which could increase the cost of swap transactions to the Fund and impose added operational complexity.
Early Closing Risk—The Fund is subject to the risk that unanticipated early closings of securities exchanges and other financial markets may result in the Fund’s inability to buy or sell securities or other financial instruments on that day and may cause the Fund to incur substantial trading losses.

Equity Securities Risk—Equity securities include common stocks and other equity and equity-related securities (and securities convertible into stocks). The Fund is exposed to the risks of equity securities primarily through its investments in equity-related derivatives and other investments. The prices of equity securities generally fluctuate more than those of 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. 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. An increase in the value of equity securities to which the Fund has exposure will adversely affect the value of your investment in the Fund.
Industry Concentration Risk—The Fund may concentrate its investments in a limited number of issuers conducting business in the same industry or group of related industries. To the extent the Fund does so, the Fund is more vulnerable to adverse market, economic, regulatory, political or other developments affecting that industry or group of related industries than a fund that invests its assets more broadly. The industries in which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund's assets, may be concentrated will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. 
Interest Rate Risk—Fixed income and other debt instruments are subject to the possibility that interest rates could change (or are expected to change). Changes in interest rates (or the expectation of such changes) can be difficult to forecast and may adversely affect the Fund’s investments in these instruments, such as the value or liquidity of, and income generated by, the investments. Interest rates may change as a result of a variety of factors, and the change may be sudden and significant, with unpredictable impacts on the financial markets and the Fund’s investments. Fixed income and other debt instruments with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates and, thus, subject to more volatility than similar instruments with shorter durations. Generally, when interest rates increase, the values of previously issued fixed income and other debt instruments decline and when interest rates decrease, the values of fixed income and other debt instruments rise. During periods of rising interest rates, changes in interest rates on adjustable rate securities may lag behind changes in market rates, which may cause the value of such securities to decline until their interest rates reset to market rates. During periods of declining interest rates, because the interest rates on adjustable rate securities generally reset downward, their market value is unlikely to rise to the same extent as the value of comparable fixed rate securities. The Fund’s yield, returns, and performance may be adversely affected by changing interest rates and the Fund’s NAV per share may be more volatile during changing interest rate environments. Changes in fiscal, economic, monetary and other policies or measures have in the past, and may in the future, cause or exacerbate the risks associated with changing interest rates. Changes in interest rates may also lead to an increase in Fund redemptions, which may result in high portfolio turnover costs and lower valuations, thereby adversely affecting the Fund’s performance.
Large-Capitalization Securities Risk—The Fund is subject to the risk that large-capitalization securities may outperform 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.
Leveraging Risk—The Fund achieves leveraged exposure to the underlying index through the use of derivative instruments. The more the Fund invests in leveraged instruments, the more this leverage will magnify any losses on those investments. The Fund’s investment in these instruments generally requires a small investment relative to the amount of investment exposure assumed. As a result, such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the amount invested in those instruments. Since the Fund’s investment strategy involves consistently applied leverage, the value of the Fund’s shares will tend to increase or decrease more than the value of any increase or decrease in the underlying index. Leverage will have the effect of magnifying tracking error and also may increase the Fund’s sensitivity to various risks and interest rate environments.
Liquidity and Valuation Risk—It may be difficult for the Fund to purchase and sell particular investments to meet redemption requests or otherwise within a reasonable time at a fair price, or the price at which it has been valued by the Advisor for purposes of the Fund’s NAV, causing the Fund to be less liquid and unable to realize what the Advisor 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. Liquidity and valuation risks are heightened in a changing interest rate or volatile environment particularly for fixed-income and other debt instruments.
PROSPECTUS | 65

Market Risk—The value of, or income generated by, the investments held by the Fund may fluctuate rapidly and unpredictably. These fluctuations may be frequent and significant. In addition, the Fund may incur losses as a result of various market and economic factors, such as those affecting (or perceived to affect) individual companies or issuers or particular industries, or from broader influences, such as general market conditions. In addition, responses to government actions or interventions (including, but not limited, to the threat or imposition of tariffs, trade restrictions, currency restrictions or similar actions) as well as developments related to economic, political (including geopolitical), social, public health, market, extreme weather, natural or man-made disasters or other conditions or events may cause volatility in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and/or debt markets, which could adversely impact the Fund and its investments and their value and performance. Under such conditions, the Fund (or an underlying fund) may experience significant redemption activity by shareholders and could be forced to sell portfolio securities or other assets at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate sufficient cash to pay redeeming shareholders. Certain securities may be difficult to value under such conditions. The Fund’s investments may perform poorly or underperform the general securities markets or other types of securities.
Non-Diversification Risk—The Fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single issuer's securities could cause greater fluctuations in the value of Fund shares than would occur in a diversified fund. The Fund may become diversified for periods of time solely as a result of changes in the composition of the underlying index (e.g., changes in the relative market capitalization or weights of one or more index component stocks).
OTC Trading Risk—Certain of the derivatives in which the Fund may invest may be traded (and privately negotiated) in the OTC market. While the OTC derivatives market is the primary trading venue for many derivatives, it is largely unregulated and provides for less transparency than a national securities or commodities exchange. As a result and similar to other privately negotiated contracts, the Fund is subject to counterparty credit risk with respect to such derivatives contracts.
Passive Investment Risk—The Fund is not actively managed and the Advisor does not attempt to take defensive positions in rising markets. Therefore, the Fund may be subject to greater losses in a rising market than a fund that is actively managed.
Portfolio Turnover Risk—Periodic rebalancing of the Fund's holdings  pursuant to its daily investment objective may lead to a greater number of portfolio transactions in the Fund than experienced by other mutual funds. Such frequent and active trading may lead to significantly higher transaction costs because of increased broker commissions associated with such transactions.
Regulatory and Legal Risk—U.S. and non-U.S. governmental agencies and other regulators regularly implement additional regulations (or amend regulations) and legislators pass new laws that affect the investments held by the Fund, the strategies used by the Fund and/or the level of regulation or taxation applicable to the Fund, its investments or service providers. These developments impact the investment strategies, performance, costs and operations of the Fund or taxation of shareholders.
Repurchase Agreement Risk—The Fund’s investment in repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk with respect to the collateral securing the repurchase agreements. Investments in repurchase agreements also may be subject to the risk that the market value of the underlying obligations may decline prior to the expiration of the repurchase agreement term.
Sector Risk—To the extent the components of the Fund’s underlying index, and therefore, the Fund’s holdings, have significant exposure to one or more market sectors, the Fund may be especially sensitive to the developments affecting and risks of such market sectors. The sectors to which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund’s assets, may have significant exposure will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. As of June 30, 2026, the Fund is subject to the Sector Risks described below.
Consumer Discretionary Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Consumer Discretionary Sector. The manufacturing segment of the Consumer Discretionary Sector includes automobiles and components, household durable goods, leisure products, and textiles and apparel. The services segment includes hotels, restaurants and other leisure facilities, and distributors and retailers of consumer discretionary products. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Consumer Discretionary Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Consumer Discretionary Sector has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall
66 | PROSPECTUS

economy, and also is affected by economic growth, consumer confidence, attitudes and spending. Changes in demographics and consumer tastes also can affect the demand for, and success of, consumer products and services in the marketplace. Moreover, the Consumer Discretionary Sector encompasses those businesses that tend to be the most sensitive to economic cycles.
Financials Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Financials Sector. The Financials Sector includes companies involved in banking, financial services (including commercial and residential mortgage finance), consumer finance, capital markets (including asset management and custody banks, investment banking and brokerage), Mortgage Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), and insurance. Certain Financials Sector issuers serve as counterparties with which the Fund may enter into derivatives agreements or other similar contractual arrangements. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Financials Sector, which may adversely affect a company's ability to fulfill its obligations as a financial counterparty. Companies operating in the Financials Sector are subject to extensive government regulation, which may limit the financial commitments they can make and the interest rates and fees they can charge. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and may fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition.
Health Care Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Health Care Sector. The Health Care Sector includes health care providers and services, companies that manufacture and distribute health care equipment and supplies, and health care technology companies. It also includes companies involved in the research, development, production and marketing of pharmaceuticals and biotechnology products. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Health Care Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Health Care Sector is closely tied to government regulation and policies (such as health care reform measures) and may be affected by government approval of products and services, competitive pricing pressures, rising costs of medical products and services, product obsolescence, and product liability and other similar litigation. In addition, companies operating in the Health Care Sector are heavily dependent on patent and other intellectual property rights, and a company’s ability to obtain and protect its patents (or the failure to do so) may affect profitability.
Industrials Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Industrials Sector. The Industrials Sector includes manufacturers and distributors of capital goods, such as aerospace and defense, building projects, electrical equipment and machinery, and companies that offer construction and engineering services. The Industrials Sector also includes providers of commercial and professional services including printing, environmental and facilities services, office services and supplies, security and alarm services, human resource and employment services, research and consulting services, and transportation services. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Industrials Sector. The prices of the securities of companies operating in the Industrials Sector may fluctuate due to the level and volatility of commodity prices, the exchange value of the dollar and economic conditions, import controls, worldwide competition, product liability claims, liability for environmental damage, depletion of resources, and mandated expenditures for safety and pollution control devices. In addition, the products of companies operating in the Industrials Sector may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments and the rapid introduction of new products.
Information Technology Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Information Technology Sector. The Information Technology Sector includes companies that offer software and information technology services, manufacturers and distributors of technology hardware and equipment (such as communications equipment, cellular phones, computers and peripherals), electronic equipment and related equipment and materials, and semiconductors and related equipment and materials. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Information Technology Sector. Companies in the Information Technology Sector may be affected by limited product lines, market competition (both domestically and internationally), financial resources and/or personnel. The prices of the securities of companies operating in the Information Technology Sector are closely tied to increased sensitivity to short product cycles and product obsolescence, aggressive pricing, and problems with bringing
PROSPECTUS | 67

products to market. Failure to introduce new products, develop and maintain a loyal customer base, or achieve general market acceptance for products could have a material adverse effect on a company’s business. In addition, companies in the Information Technology Sector are heavily dependent on intellectual property and the loss of patent, copyright and trademark protections may adversely affect the profitability of these companies.
Shareholder Trading Risk—The Fund may be used as a tool for certain investors that employ trading strategies involving frequent trading. Such trading strategies may lead to increased portfolio turnover in the Fund, higher transaction costs, and the possibility of increased short-term capital gains (which will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income when distributed to them) and/or long-term capital gains.  Large movements of assets into and out of the Fund due to active or frequent trading also may adversely affect the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective.
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 and leverage risks. The loss on a short sale or other short exposure, which, in some cases, may be theoretically unlimited, may be 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. Government actions also may affect the Fund’s ability to engage in short selling.
Tracking Error Risk—The Advisor may not be able to cause the Fund’s performance to match that of the Fund’s benchmark, either on a daily or aggregate basis. Factors such as Fund expenses, imperfect correlation between the Fund’s investments and those of the underlying index, rounding of share prices, changes to the composition of the underlying index, regulatory policies, high portfolio turnover rate, and the use of leverage all contribute to tracking error. Tracking error may cause the Fund’s performance to be less than you expect.
Trading Halt Risk—The Fund typically will hold futures contracts and short-term options. The major exchanges on which these contracts are traded, such as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, have established limits on how much the trading price of a futures contract or option may decline over various time periods within a day, and may halt trading in a contract that exceeds such limits. If a trading halt occurs, the Fund may temporarily be unable to purchase or sell certain securities, futures contracts or options. Such a trading halt near the time the Fund prices its shares may limit the Fund’s ability to use leverage and fully invest its assets, which could increase tracking error and adversely affect performance, and may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
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. In addition, U.S. government securities not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government involve credit risk that is greater than other types of U.S. government securities.

PURCHASE AND SALE OF FUND SHARES
The minimum initial investment amounts and minimum account balance requirements for Class H accounts held through a third party (e.g., a brokerage account) are typically:
$1,000 for retirement accounts
$2,500 for all other accounts
Class H accounts opened through a financial intermediary (non-direct) will be subject to your financial intermediary’s minimum initial investment amount and account balance requirements, which may be different than the amounts above.
Class H accounts held directly at Guggenheim Investments (other than those that are managed by financial professionals) are subject to a minimum initial investment and account balance of $5,000 (including retirement accounts).
Direct accounts managed by financial professionals are not subject to minimum initial investment and minimum account balance requirements.
There are no minimum amounts for subsequent investments in the Fund except for subsequent investments made via Automated Clearing House (“ACH”).
The Fund reserves the right to modify its minimum account balance requirements at any time, with or without prior notice to you.
The Fund redeems its shares continuously and investors may sell their shares back to the Fund on any day that the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) is open for business (a “Business Day”). 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 Fund also offers you the option to send redemption orders to Guggenheim Investments by mail, fax or telephone.
TAX INFORMATION
Fund distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income or capital gains (or a combination of both), unless your investment is in an individual retirement account or other tax-advantaged retirement account. Investments through a tax-advantaged retirement account may be subject to taxation upon withdrawal.
PAYMENTS TO BROKER-DEALERS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES
If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), 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.

Russell 2000® 2x Strategy Fund
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The Russell 2000® 2x Strategy Fund (the “Fund”) is very different from most other mutual funds in that it seeks daily leveraged investment results. As a result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the performance of an investment in the Fund is magnified.
The effect of leverage on the Fund will generally cause the Fund’s performance to not match the performance of the Fund’s benchmark (as described below) over a period of time greater than a single trading day. This means that the return of the Fund for a period of longer than a single trading day will be the result of each day’s compounded returns over the period, which will very likely differ from twice the return of the Fund’s underlying index (as defined below) for that period. As a consequence, especially in periods of market volatility, the path or trend of the benchmark during the longer period may be at least as important to the Fund’s cumulative return for the longer period as the cumulative return of the benchmark for the relevant longer period. Further, the return for investors who invest for a period longer than a single trading day will not be the product of the return of the Fund’s stated investment goal (i.e., 2x) and the cumulative performance of the benchmark.
The Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund should be utilized only by investors who (a) understand the risks associated with the use of leverage, (b) understand the consequences of seeking daily leveraged investment results, and (c) intend to actively monitor and manage their investments. Investors who do not meet these criteria should not buy shares of the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a complete investment program.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The Fund seeks to provide investment results that match, before fees and expenses, the performance of a specific benchmark on a daily basis.  The Fund’s current benchmark is 200% of the performance of the Russell 2000® Index (the “underlying index”). The Fund does not seek to achieve its investment objective over a period of time greater than one day.
FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE FUND
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell Class H shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.

The Advisor has contractually agreed, through August 1, 2027, to waive and/or reimburse the Fund’s expenses in an amount equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. In addition, the Advisor also has contractually agreed, through August 1, 2027, to waive and/or reimburse the Fund’s expenses in an additional amount equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Each agreement shall automatically renew for one-year terms unless the Advisor provides written notice to the Fund of the termination of the agreement. Each agreement may be terminated at any time by the Fund’s Board of Trustees and when the Advisor ceases to serve as such.

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 your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

$2,288
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 the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 40% of the average value of its portfolio. The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments and most derivatives. If such instruments were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate might be significantly higher.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Fund employs as its investment strategy a program of investing in the common stock of companies that are generally within the capitalization range of the underlying index, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and derivative instruments, which primarily consist of equity index swaps and swaps on ETFs, futures contracts, and options on securities, futures contracts, and stock indices. While the Fund may write (sell) and purchase swaps, it expects primarily to purchase swaps. Swap agreements and futures and options contracts, if used properly, may enable the Fund to meet its objective by increasing the Fund’s exposure to the securities included in the underlying index or in the same proportion that those securities are represented in the Fund's benchmark. The Fund’s investment in derivatives referencing (i) the underlying index, or (ii) securities included in the underlying index, serves as a substitute for investments in each of the securities of companies included in the underlying and will be counted towards the Fund’s 80% investment policy (as set forth below). The Advisor attempts to consistently apply leverage to increase the Fund's exposure to 200% of the underlying index and expects to rebalance the Fund's holdings daily to maintain such exposure. The Fund’s use of derivatives and the leveraged investment exposure created by such use are expected to be significant. Certain of the Fund’s derivatives investments may be traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in securities of companies included in the Russell 2000® Index and financial instruments with economic characteristics that should perform similarly to the securities of companies in the Russell 2000® Index.
The Russell 2000® Index is composed of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000® Index, representing approximately 10% of the Russell 3000® total market capitalization and consisting of capitalizations ranging from $0.5 million to $13.8 billion as of June 30, 2026. The Russell 3000® Index is composed of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies ranked by total market capitalization, representing approximately 98% of the U.S. investable equity market. Certain of the companies included in the Russell 2000® Index may be structured as real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). To the extent the Fund’s underlying index is concentrated in a particular industry the Fund will necessarily be concentrated in that industry. The industries in which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund’s investments, may be concentrated will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. While the Fund’s sector exposure may vary over time, as of June 30, 2026, the Fund has significant exposure to the Consumer Discretionary Sector, Energy Sector, Financials Sector, Health Care Sector, Industrials Sector, Information Technology Sector, Materials Sector, and Real Estate Sector, as each sector is defined by the Global Industry Classification Standard, a widely recognized industry classification methodology developed by MSCI, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC.
On a day-to-day basis, the Fund may hold U.S. government securities or cash equivalents. The Fund also may enter into repurchase agreements with counterparties that are deemed to present acceptable credit risks. In an effort to ensure that the Fund is fully invested on a day-to-day basis, the Fund may conduct any necessary trading activity at or just prior to the close of the U.S. financial markets. 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.

Investments in derivative instruments, such as futures, options and swap agreements, have the economic effect of creating financial leverage in the Fund’s portfolio because such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the amount the Fund has invested in those instruments. Financial leverage will magnify, sometimes significantly, the Fund’s exposure to any increase or decrease in prices associated with a particular reference asset resulting in increased volatility in the value of the Fund’s portfolio. The value of the Fund’s portfolio is likely to experience greater volatility over short-term periods. While such financial leverage has the potential to produce greater gains, it also may result in greater losses, which in some cases may cause the Fund to liquidate other portfolio investments at a loss to comply with limits on leverage imposed by the Investment Company Act of 1940, satisfy margin or collateral requirements, or meet redemption requests.
PRINCIPAL RISKS
The value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate and is subject to investment risks, which means investors could lose money, including all or part of their investment in the Fund. 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. An investment in the Fund does not constitute a complete investment program. The Fund is subject to certain risks and the principal risks of investing in the Fund are summarized below in alphabetical order, and not in the order of importance or potential exposure. The relative significance of each principal risk summarized below may change over time and you should review each risk carefully because any one or more of these risks may result in losses to the Fund. Please see “More Information About the Trust and the Funds – Principal Risks” in the Fund’s Prospectus for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund.
Compounding Risk—In addition to the correlation risks described under “Correlation Risk”, the Fund’s returns are subject to the effects of compounding, which generally will cause the Fund’s performance to not correlate to the performance of the benchmark over periods greater than a single day, before accounting for fees and fund expenses. Compounded returns are the result of reinvesting daily returns over periods greater than a single day. The Fund’s compounded returns for periods greater than a single day will be different than the performance of the benchmark over the same period. The effects of compounding on the performance of the Fund will be more pronounced when the underlying index experiences increased volatility, the greater the leverage employed in the Fund, and over longer holding periods.
Compounding affects the performance of all investments over time, but has a more significant effect on a leveraged index fund because the magnified changes in performance produced by the use of leverage lead to greater increases and decreases in the fund’s daily returns which are then compounded over time. The effects of compounding, therefore, have a more significant effect on the Fund because it seeks to match a multiple of the performance of the Fund’s underlying index on a daily basis.
Fund performance for periods greater than one day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: (a) underlying index performance; (b) underlying index volatility; (c) financing rates associated with leverage; (d) other Fund expenses; (e) dividends or interest paid by companies in the underlying index; and (f) period of time. The table below illustrates the impact of two principal factors – volatility and index performance – on Fund performance. The table shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of performance and volatility over a one-year period. Performance shown in the table assumes: (a) no dividends paid by the companies included in the underlying index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) a cost of leverage of zero percent. If Fund expenses, including the cost of leverage, were included, the Fund’s performance would be lower than shown.

The underlying index’s annualized historical volatility rate for the five-year period ended June 30, 2026 is 20.75%. The underlying index’s highest one-year volatility rate during the five-year period is 24.44%. The underlying index’s annualized performance for the five-year period ended June 30, 2026 is 6.98%.
Historical underlying index volatility and performance are not indications of what the underlying index volatility and performance will be in the future. The table is intended to isolate the effects of the underlying index volatility and index performance on the return of the Fund, and underscore that the Fund is designed as a short-term trading vehicle for investors who intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios.
Correlation Risk—A number of factors may affect the Fund’s ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with its benchmark, including instances in which the Fund does not hold or have exposure to each component security of the underlying index and the effect of compounding on the Fund’s returns, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The Fund does not attempt to, and should not be expected to, provide returns  which are a multiple of the returns of the underlying index for periods other than a single day. The risk of the Fund not achieving its daily investment objective will be more acute when the underlying index has an extreme one-day movement approaching 50%. In addition, as a result of compounding, the Fund’s performance for periods greater than a single day is likely to be either greater than or less than the performance of the underlying index times the stated multiple in the Fund’s investment objective, before accounting for Fund fees and expenses.
Counterparty Credit Risk—The Fund makes investments in financial instruments and 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, to hedge a position, or for other investment purposes. Through these investments and related arrangements (e.g., prime brokerage or securities lending arrangements or derivatives transactions), the Fund is exposed to credit risks that the counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments or otherwise to meet its contractual obligations. If the counterparty becomes insolvent or defaults on (or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling to perform) its payment or other obligations to the
74 | PROSPECTUS

Fund, the Fund may not receive the full amount that it is entitled to receive or may experience delays in recovering the collateral or other assets held by, or on behalf of, the counterparty. If this occurs, the value of your shares in the Fund will decrease. Counterparty credit risk also includes the related risk of having potentially significant exposure to such counterparty.
Derivatives Risk—Derivatives and other instruments (collectively referred to in this paragraph as “derivatives”) pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other investments, including risks relating to leverage, market conditions and market risk, imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, high price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty credit, liquidity, valuation, operational and legal restrictions and risk. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. In addition, 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. Changes in the value of a derivative also may create sudden margin delivery or settlement payment obligations for the Fund, which can materially affect the performance of the Fund, its liquidity, and other aspects of the Fund’s risk profile. The Fund’s use of derivatives to obtain short exposure, if any,  may result in greater volatility of the Fund's net asset value (“NAV”) per share. If the Advisor is incorrect about its expectations of market conditions, the use of derivatives also could result in a loss, which in some cases may be unlimited. Certain risks are specific to the particular type of derivative instrument in which the Fund may invest. For example, 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 counterparty, credit, legal, liquidity and valuation risks.
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 include imperfect correlation between the movements in the price of the instruments and the price of the underlying assets. In addition, there is a 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 futures positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Advisor, 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 also are subject to leverage and liquidity risks. The Fund may invest in standard futures contracts, e-mini futures contracts, and micro e-mini futures contracts depending on the investment exposure needs of the Fund. E-mini futures contracts and micro e-mini futures contracts are similar to standard futures contracts, except that they are electronically traded and e-mini futures contracts generally are one-fifth the size of standard futures contracts and micro e-mini futures contracts generally are one-tenth the size of e-mini futures contracts.
Options Risk—Options and 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. Options are subject to correlation risk because there may be an imperfect correlation between the options and the markets for underlying instruments that could cause a given transaction to fail to achieve its objectives. The successful use of options depends on the Advisor’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 options positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Advisor, thus limiting the ability to implement the Fund’s strategies. Options also are particularly subject to leverage risk and can be subject to liquidity risk.
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, for certain standardized swaps, must be traded on a designated contract market or swap execution facility. 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. While exchange trading and central clearing are intended to reduce counterparty credit risk and increase liquidity, they 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, which could increase the cost of swap transactions to the Fund and impose added operational complexity.
Early Closing Risk—The Fund is subject to the risk that unanticipated early closings of securities exchanges and other financial markets may result in the Fund’s inability to buy or sell securities or other financial instruments on that day and may cause the Fund to incur substantial trading losses.
PROSPECTUS | 75

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 more than those of 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.
Industry Concentration Risk—The Fund may concentrate its investments in a limited number of issuers conducting business in the same industry or group of related industries. To the extent the Fund does so, the Fund is more vulnerable to adverse market, economic, regulatory, political or other developments affecting that industry or group of related industries than a fund that invests its assets more broadly. The industries in which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund's assets, may be concentrated will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. 
Interest Rate Risk—Fixed income and other debt instruments are subject to the possibility that interest rates could change (or are expected to change). Changes in interest rates (or the expectation of such changes) can be difficult to forecast and may adversely affect the Fund’s investments in these instruments, such as the value or liquidity of, and income generated by, the investments. Interest rates may change as a result of a variety of factors, and the change may be sudden and significant, with unpredictable impacts on the financial markets and the Fund’s investments. Fixed income and other debt instruments with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates and, thus, subject to more volatility than similar instruments with shorter durations. Generally, when interest rates increase, the values of previously issued fixed income and other debt instruments decline and when interest rates decrease, the values of fixed income and other debt instruments rise. During periods of rising interest rates, changes in interest rates on adjustable rate securities may lag behind changes in market rates, which may cause the value of such securities to decline until their interest rates reset to market rates. During periods of declining interest rates, because the interest rates on adjustable rate securities generally reset downward, their market value is unlikely to rise to the same extent as the value of comparable fixed rate securities. The Fund’s yield, returns, and performance may be adversely affected by changing interest rates and the Fund’s NAV per share may be more volatile during changing interest rate environments. Changes in fiscal, economic, monetary and other policies or measures have in the past, and may in the future, cause or exacerbate the risks associated with changing interest rates. Changes in interest rates may also lead to an increase in Fund redemptions, which may result in high portfolio turnover costs and lower valuations, thereby adversely affecting the Fund’s performance.
Investment in Investment Vehicles Risk—The Fund may seek to gain certain exposure through investments in other investment vehicles. Investing in other investment vehicles, including ETFs and other mutual funds, subjects the Fund to those risks affecting the investment vehicle, including the possibility that the value of the underlying securities held by the investment vehicle could decrease 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 or a listed closed-end fund are subject to, among other risks, the risk that the shares may trade at a discount or premium relative to the NAV of the shares and the listing exchange may halt trading of the shares.
Leveraging Risk—The Fund achieves leveraged exposure to the underlying index through the use of derivative instruments. The more the Fund invests in leveraged instruments, the more this leverage will magnify any losses on those investments. The Fund’s investment in these instruments generally requires a small investment relative to the amount of investment exposure assumed. As a result, such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the amount invested in those instruments. Since the Fund’s investment strategy involves consistently applied leverage, the value of the Fund’s shares will tend to increase or decrease more than the value of any increase or decrease in the underlying index. Leverage will have the effect of magnifying tracking error and also may increase the Fund’s sensitivity to various risks and interest rate environments.
Liquidity and Valuation Risk—It may be difficult for the Fund to purchase and sell particular investments to meet redemption requests or otherwise within a reasonable time at a fair price, or the price at which it has been valued by the Advisor for purposes of the Fund’s NAV, causing the Fund to be less liquid and unable to realize what the Advisor 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
76 | PROSPECTUS

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. Liquidity and valuation risks are heightened in a changing interest rate or volatile environment particularly for fixed-income and other debt instruments.
Market Risk—The value of, or income generated by, the investments held by the Fund may fluctuate rapidly and unpredictably. These fluctuations may be frequent and significant. In addition, the Fund may incur losses as a result of various market and economic factors, such as those affecting (or perceived to affect) individual companies or issuers or particular industries, or from broader influences, such as general market conditions. In addition, responses to government actions or interventions (including, but not limited, to the threat or imposition of tariffs, trade restrictions, currency restrictions or similar actions) as well as developments related to economic, political (including geopolitical), social, public health, market, extreme weather, natural or man-made disasters or other conditions or events may cause volatility in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and/or debt markets, which could adversely impact the Fund and its investments and their value and performance. Under such conditions, the Fund (or an underlying fund) may experience significant redemption activity by shareholders and could be forced to sell portfolio securities or other assets at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate sufficient cash to pay redeeming shareholders. Certain securities may be difficult to value under such conditions. The Fund’s investments may perform poorly or underperform the general securities markets or other types of securities.
Non-Diversification Risk—The Fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single issuer's securities could cause greater fluctuations in the value of Fund shares than would occur in a diversified fund. The Fund may become diversified for periods of time solely as a result of changes in the composition of the underlying index (e.g., changes in the relative market capitalization or weights of one or more index component stocks).
OTC Trading Risk—Certain of the derivatives in which the Fund may invest may be traded (and privately negotiated) in the OTC market. While the OTC derivatives market is the primary trading venue for many derivatives, it is largely unregulated and provides for less transparency than a national securities or commodities exchange. As a result and similar to other privately negotiated contracts, the Fund is subject to counterparty credit risk with respect to such derivatives contracts.
Passive Investment Risk—The Fund is not actively managed and the Advisor does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. Therefore, the Fund may be subject to greater losses in a declining market than a fund that is actively managed.
Portfolio Turnover Risk—Periodic rebalancing of the Fund's holdings  pursuant to its daily investment objective may lead to a greater number of portfolio transactions in the Fund than experienced by other mutual funds. Such frequent and active trading may lead to significantly higher transaction costs because of increased broker commissions associated with such transactions.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) Risk—REITs are classified as equity REITs, mortgage REITs or hybrid REITs. Equity REITs own real estate directly and the value of, and income earned by, the REITs depends upon the income of the underlying properties and the rental income they earn. Mortgage REITs make construction, development or long-term mortgage loans and are sensitive to the credit quality of the borrower. Mortgage REITs derive their income from interest earned on such mortgage loans. Hybrid REITs generally hold both ownership interests and mortgage interests in real estate. In addition to the risks pertaining to real estate investments more generally, REITs may be subject to additional risks, including risks associated with the direct ownership of real property, including declines in the value of real estate, risks related to general and local economic conditions, overbuilding and increased competition, increases in property taxes and operating expenses and variations in rental income. REITs (especially mortgage REITs) also are subject to interest rate and prepayment 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. U.S. REITs also are 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.
PROSPECTUS | 77

Regulatory and Legal Risk—U.S. and non-U.S. governmental agencies and other regulators regularly implement additional regulations (or amend regulations) and legislators pass new laws that affect the investments held by the Fund, the strategies used by the Fund and/or the level of regulation or taxation applicable to the Fund, its investments or service providers. These developments impact the investment strategies, performance, costs and operations of the Fund or taxation of shareholders.
Repurchase Agreement Risk—The Fund’s investment in repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk with respect to the collateral securing the repurchase agreements. Investments in repurchase agreements also may be subject to the risk that the market value of the underlying obligations may decline prior to the expiration of the repurchase agreement term.
Sector Risk—To the extent the components of the Fund’s underlying index, and therefore, the Fund’s holdings, have significant exposure to one or more market sectors, the Fund may be especially sensitive to the developments affecting and risks of such market sectors. The sectors to which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund’s assets, may have significant exposure will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. As of June 30, 2026, the Fund is subject to the Sector Risks described below.
Consumer Discretionary Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Consumer Discretionary Sector. The manufacturing segment of the Consumer Discretionary Sector includes automobiles and components, household durable goods, leisure products, and textiles and apparel. The services segment includes hotels, restaurants and other leisure facilities, and distributors and retailers of consumer discretionary products. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Consumer Discretionary Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Consumer Discretionary Sector has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall economy, and also is affected by economic growth, consumer confidence, attitudes and spending. Changes in demographics and consumer tastes also can affect the demand for, and success of, consumer products and services in the marketplace. Moreover, the Consumer Discretionary Sector encompasses those businesses that tend to be the most sensitive to economic cycles.
Energy Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Energy Sector. The Energy Sector includes companies operating in the exploration and production, refining and marketing, and storage and transportation of oil and gas and coal and consumable fuels. It also includes companies that offer oil and gas equipment and related services. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Energy Sector. The Energy Sector has historically experienced substantial price volatility. The performance of companies operating in the Energy Sector is closely tied to the price and supply of energy fuels and international political events, and companies operating in the Energy Sector are subject to market and other specific risks, including, among others: fluctuations in commodity prices and/or interest rates; increased governmental or environmental regulation or policy; reduced availability of natural gas or other commodities for transporting, processing, storing or delivering; declines in domestic or foreign production or consumption; slowdowns in new construction; extreme weather or other natural disasters; consumer preferences; and threats of attack by terrorists and state-sponsored actors on energy assets. In addition, companies in the Energy Sector are at risk of liability from accidents resulting in injury, loss of life or property, pollution or other environmental damage claims. Energy companies also can be significantly affected by the supply of, and demand for, particular energy products (such as oil and natural gas), which may result in overproduction or underproduction. Over time, depletion of natural gas reserves and other energy reserves may also affect the profitability of energy companies.
Financials Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Financials Sector. The Financials Sector includes companies involved in banking, financial services (including commercial and residential mortgage finance), consumer finance, capital markets (including asset management and custody banks, investment banking and brokerage), Mortgage Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), and insurance. Certain Financials Sector issuers serve as counterparties with which the Fund may enter into derivatives agreements or other similar contractual arrangements. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Financials Sector, which may adversely affect a company's ability to fulfill its obligations as a financial counterparty. Companies operating in the Financials Sector are subject to extensive government regulation, which may limit the financial commitments
78 | PROSPECTUS

they can make and the interest rates and fees they can charge. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and may fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition.
Health Care Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Health Care Sector. The Health Care Sector includes health care providers and services, companies that manufacture and distribute health care equipment and supplies, and health care technology companies. It also includes companies involved in the research, development, production and marketing of pharmaceuticals and biotechnology products. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Health Care Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Health Care Sector is closely tied to government regulation and policies (such as health care reform measures) and may be affected by government approval of products and services, competitive pricing pressures, rising costs of medical products and services, product obsolescence, and product liability and other similar litigation. In addition, companies operating in the Health Care Sector are heavily dependent on patent and other intellectual property rights, and a company’s ability to obtain and protect its patents (or the failure to do so) may affect profitability.
Industrials Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Industrials Sector. The Industrials Sector includes manufacturers and distributors of capital goods, such as aerospace and defense, building projects, electrical equipment and machinery, and companies that offer construction and engineering services. The Industrials Sector also includes providers of commercial and professional services including printing, environmental and facilities services, office services and supplies, security and alarm services, human resource and employment services, research and consulting services, and transportation services. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Industrials Sector. The prices of the securities of companies operating in the Industrials Sector may fluctuate due to the level and volatility of commodity prices, the exchange value of the dollar and economic conditions, import controls, worldwide competition, product liability claims, liability for environmental damage, depletion of resources, and mandated expenditures for safety and pollution control devices. In addition, the products of companies operating in the Industrials Sector may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments and the rapid introduction of new products.
Information Technology Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Information Technology Sector. The Information Technology Sector includes companies that offer software and information technology services, manufacturers and distributors of technology hardware and equipment (such as communications equipment, cellular phones, computers and peripherals), electronic equipment and related equipment and materials, and semiconductors and related equipment and materials. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Information Technology Sector. Companies in the Information Technology Sector may be affected by limited product lines, market competition (both domestically and internationally), financial resources and/or personnel. The prices of the securities of companies operating in the Information Technology Sector are closely tied to increased sensitivity to short product cycles and product obsolescence, aggressive pricing, and problems with bringing products to market. Failure to introduce new products, develop and maintain a loyal customer base, or achieve general market acceptance for products could have a material adverse effect on a company’s business. In addition, companies in the Information Technology Sector are heavily dependent on intellectual property and the loss of patent, copyright and trademark protections may adversely affect the profitability of these companies.
Materials Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Materials Sector. The Materials Sector includes companies that manufacture chemicals, construction materials, forest products, glass, paper and related packaging products, and metals, minerals and mining companies, including producers of steel. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Materials Sector. The prices of the securities of companies operating in the Materials Sector may fluctuate widely due to fluctuations in supply and demand for basic materials, volatility of
PROSPECTUS | 79

commodity prices, the exchange value of the U.S. dollar, import controls, world economic growth and competition, depletion of resources and energy conservation, liability for environmental damage, technological progress, and government regulations, including international political and economic developments, the environmental impact of energy and basic materials operations and tax and other governmental regulatory policies.
Real Estate Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Real Estate Sector. The Real Estate Sector includes companies operating in real estate development and operations. It also includes companies offering real estate-related services and REITs. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Real Estate Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Real Estate Sector has historically been cyclical and particularly sensitive to the overall economy and market changes, including declines in the value of real estate or, conversely, saturation of the real estate market, economic downturns and defaults by borrowers or tenants during such periods, increases in competition, limited availability of mortgage funds or other limits to accessing the credit or capital markets, and changes in interest rates.
Shareholder Trading Risk—The Fund may be used as a tool for certain investors that employ trading strategies involving frequent trading. Such trading strategies may lead to increased portfolio turnover in the Fund, higher transaction costs, and the possibility of increased short-term capital gains (which will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income when distributed to them) and/or long-term capital gains.  Large movements of assets into and out of the Fund due to active or frequent trading also may adversely affect the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective.
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.
Tracking Error Risk—The Advisor may not be able to cause the Fund’s performance to match that of the Fund’s benchmark, either on a daily or aggregate basis. Factors such as Fund expenses, imperfect correlation between the Fund’s investments and those of the underlying index, rounding of share prices, changes to the composition of the underlying index, regulatory policies, high portfolio turnover rate, and the use of leverage all contribute to tracking error. Tracking error may cause the Fund’s performance to be less than you expect.
Trading Halt Risk—The Fund typically will hold futures contracts and short-term options. The major exchanges on which these contracts are traded, such as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, have established limits on how much the trading price of a futures contract or option may decline over various time periods within a day, and may halt trading in a contract that exceeds such limits. If a trading halt occurs, the Fund may temporarily be unable to purchase or sell certain securities, futures contracts or options. Such a trading halt near the time the Fund prices its shares may limit the Fund’s ability to use leverage and fully invest its assets, which could increase tracking error and adversely affect performance, and may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
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. In addition, U.S. government securities not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government involve credit risk that is greater than other types of U.S. government securities.

Inverse Russell 2000® 2x Strategy Fund
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The Inverse Russell 2000® 2x Strategy Fund (the “Fund”) is very different from most other mutual funds in that it seeks to provide leveraged investment results that match twice the inverse of the performance of a specific underlying index on a daily basis, a result opposite of most mutual funds. As a result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the performance of an investment in the Fund is magnified.
The effect of leverage on the Fund will generally cause the Fund’s performance to not match the performance of the Fund’s benchmark (as described below) over a period of time greater than a single trading day. This means that the return of the Fund for a period of longer than a single trading day will be the result of each day’s compounded returns over the period, which will very likely differ from twice the inverse return of the Fund’s underlying index (as defined below) for that period. As a consequence, especially in periods of market volatility, the path or trend of the benchmark during the longer period may be at least as important to the Fund’s cumulative return for the longer period as the cumulative return of the benchmark for the relevant longer period. Further, the return for investors who invest for a period longer than a single trading day will not be the product of the return of the Fund’s stated investment goal (i.e., -2x) and the cumulative performance of the benchmark.
The Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund should be utilized only by investors who (a) understand the risks associated with the use of leverage, (b) understand the consequences of seeking daily leveraged investment results, (c) understand the risks of shorting and (d) intend to actively monitor and manage their investments. Investors who do not meet these criteria should not buy shares of the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a complete investment program.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The Fund seeks to provide investment results that match, before fees and expenses, the performance of a specific benchmark on a daily basis. The Fund’s current benchmark is 200% of the inverse (opposite) of the performance of the Russell 2000® Index (the “underlying index”). The Fund does not seek to achieve its investment objective over a period of time greater than one day.
FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE FUND
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell Class H shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.

The Advisor has contractually agreed, through August 1, 2027, to waive and/or reimburse the Fund’s expenses in an amount equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. In addition, the Advisor also has contractually agreed, through August 1, 2027, to waive and/or reimburse the Fund’s expenses in an additional amount equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.05% of the

Fund’s average daily net assets. Each agreement shall automatically renew for one-year terms unless the Advisor provides written notice to the Fund of the termination of the agreement. Each agreement may be terminated at any time by the Fund’s Board of Trustees and when the Advisor ceases to serve as such.
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 your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

$2,193
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 the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its portfolio. The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments and most derivatives. If such instruments were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate might be significantly higher.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Fund employs as its investment strategy a program of engaging in short sales of securities generally included in the underlying index and investing in derivative instruments, which primarily consist of equity index swaps and swaps on exchange-traded funds, futures contracts, and options on securities, securities indices, and futures contracts. While the Fund may write (sell) and purchase swaps, it expects primarily to write swaps. The Advisor attempts to consistently apply leverage to increase the Fund's exposure to -200% of the underlying index and expects to rebalance the Fund’s holdings daily to maintain such exposure. The Fund’s investment in derivatives referencing (i) the underlying index, or (ii) securities included in the underlying index, serves as a substitute for directly selling short each of the securities included in the underlying index and produces inverse exposure to the underlying index and to securities of companies included in the underlying index. These instruments will be counted towards the Fund’s 80% investment policy (as set forth below). Certain of the Fund’s derivatives investments may be traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in financial instruments with economic characteristics that should perform inversely to the securities of companies included in the Russell 2000® Index.
The Russell 2000® Index is composed of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000® Index, representing approximately 10% of the Russell 3000® total market capitalization and consisting of capitalizations ranging from $0.5 million to $13.8 billion as of June 30, 2026. The Russell 3000® Index is composed of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies ranked by total market capitalization, representing approximately 98% of the U.S. investable equity market. Certain of the companies included in the Russell 2000® Index may be structured as real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). To the extent the Fund’s underlying index is concentrated in a particular industry the Fund will necessarily be concentrated in that industry. The industries in which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund's investments, may be concentrated will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. While the Fund's sector exposure may vary over time, as of June 30, 2026, the Fund has significant exposure to the Consumer Discretionary Sector, Energy Sector, Financials Sector, Health Care Sector, Industrials Sector, Information Technology Sector, Materials Sector, and Real Estate Sector, as each sector is defined by the Global Industry Classification Standard, a widely recognized industry classification methodology developed by MSCI, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC.
On a day-to-day basis, the Fund may hold U.S. government securities or cash equivalents. The Fund also may enter into repurchase agreements with counterparties that are deemed to present acceptable credit risks. In an effort to ensure that the Fund is fully invested on a day-to-day basis, the Fund may conduct any necessary trading activity at or just prior to the close of the U.S. financial markets. 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.
84 | PROSPECTUS

Investments in derivative instruments, such as futures, options and swap agreements, have the economic effect of creating financial leverage in the Fund’s portfolio because such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the amount the Fund has invested in those instruments. Financial leverage will magnify, sometimes significantly, the Fund’s exposure to any increase or decrease in prices associated with a particular reference asset resulting in increased volatility in the value of the Fund’s portfolio. The value of the Fund’s portfolio is likely to experience greater volatility over short-term periods. While such financial leverage has the potential to produce greater gains, it also may result in greater losses, which in some cases may cause the Fund to liquidate other portfolio investments at a loss to comply with limits on leverage imposed by the Investment Company Act of 1940, satisfy margin or collateral requirements, or meet redemption requests.
PRINCIPAL RISKS
The value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate and is subject to investment risks, which means investors could lose money, including all or part of their investment in the Fund. 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. An investment in the Fund does not constitute a complete investment program. The Fund is subject to certain risks and the principal risks of investing in the Fund are summarized below in alphabetical order, and not in the order of importance or potential exposure. The relative significance of each principal risk summarized below may change over time and you should review each risk carefully because any one or more of these risks may result in losses to the Fund. Please see “More Information About the Trust and the Funds – Principal Risks” in the Fund’s Prospectus for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund.
Compounding Risk—In addition to the correlation risks described under “Correlation Risk”, the Fund’s returns are subject to the effects of compounding, which generally will cause the Fund’s performance to not correlate to the performance of the benchmark over periods greater than a single day, before accounting for fees and fund expenses. Compounded returns are the result of reinvesting daily returns over periods greater than a single day. The Fund’s compounded returns for periods greater than a single day will be different than the performance of the benchmark over the same period. The effects of compounding on the performance of the Fund will be more pronounced when the underlying index experiences increased volatility, the greater the leverage employed in the Fund, and over longer holding periods.
Compounding affects the performance of all investments over time, but has a more significant effect on a leveraged index fund because the magnified changes in performance produced by the use of leverage lead to greater increases and decreases in the fund’s daily returns which are then compounded over time. The effects of compounding, therefore, have a more significant effect on the Fund because it seeks to match a multiple of the inverse performance of the Fund’s underlying index on a daily basis.
Fund performance for periods greater than one day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: (a) underlying index performance; (b) underlying index volatility; (c) financing rates associated with leverage; (d) other Fund expenses; (e) dividends or interest paid by companies in the underlying index; and (f) period of time. The table below illustrates the impact of two principal factors – volatility and index performance – on Fund performance. The table shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of performance and volatility over a one-year period. Performance shown in the table assumes: (a) no dividends paid by the companies included in the underlying index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) a cost of leverage of zero percent. If Fund expenses, including the cost of leverage, were included, the Fund’s performance would be lower than shown.

The underlying index’s annualized historical volatility rate for the five-year period ended June 30, 2026 is 20.75%. The underlying index’s highest one-year volatility rate during the five-year period is 24.44%. The underlying index’s annualized performance for the five-year period ended June 30, 2026 is 6.98%.
Historical underlying index volatility and performance are not indications of what the underlying index volatility and performance will be in the future. The table is intended to isolate the effects of the underlying index volatility and index performance on the return of the Fund, and underscore that the Fund is designed as a short-term trading vehicle for investors who intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios.
Correlation Risk—A number of factors may affect the Fund’s ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with its benchmark, including instances in which the Fund does not hold or have exposure to each component security of the underlying index and the effect of compounding on the Fund’s returns, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The Fund does not attempt to, and should not be expected to, provide returns which are an inverse multiple of the returns of the underlying index for periods other than a single day. The risk of the Fund not achieving its daily investment objective will be more acute when the underlying index has an extreme one-day movement approaching 50%. In addition, as a result of compounding, the Fund’s performance for periods greater than a single day is likely to be either greater than or less than the inverse of the performance of the underlying index times the stated multiple in the Fund’s investment objective, before accounting for Fund fees and expenses.
Counterparty Credit Risk—The Fund makes investments in financial instruments and 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, to hedge a position, or for other investment purposes. Through these investments and related arrangements (e.g., prime brokerage or securities lending arrangements or derivatives transactions), the Fund is exposed to credit risks that the counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments or otherwise to meet its contractual obligations. If the counterparty becomes insolvent or defaults on (or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling to perform) its payment or other obligations to the
86 | PROSPECTUS

Fund, the Fund may not receive the full amount that it is entitled to receive or may experience delays in recovering the collateral or other assets held by, or on behalf of, the counterparty. If this occurs, the value of your shares in the Fund will decrease. Counterparty credit risk also includes the related risk of having potentially significant exposure to such counterparty.
Derivatives Risk—Derivatives and other instruments (collectively referred to in this paragraph as “derivatives”) pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other investments, including risks relating to leverage, market conditions and market risk, imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, high price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty credit, liquidity, valuation, operational and legal restrictions and risk. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. In addition, 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. Changes in the value of a derivative also may create sudden margin delivery or settlement payment obligations for the Fund, which can materially affect the performance of the Fund, its liquidity, and other aspects of the Fund’s risk profile. The Fund’s use of derivatives to obtain short exposure may result in greater volatility of the Fund's net asset value (“NAV”) per share. If the Advisor is incorrect about its expectations of market conditions, the use of derivatives also could result in a loss, which in some cases may be unlimited. Certain risks are specific to the particular type of derivative instrument in which the Fund may invest. For example, 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 counterparty, credit, legal, liquidity and valuation risks.
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 include imperfect correlation between the movements in the price of the instruments and the price of the underlying assets. In addition, there is a 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 futures positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Advisor, 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 also are subject to leverage and liquidity risks. The Fund may invest in standard futures contracts, e-mini futures contracts, and micro e-mini futures contracts depending on the investment exposure needs of the Fund. E-mini futures contracts and micro e-mini futures contracts are similar to standard futures contracts, except that they are electronically traded and e-mini futures contracts generally are one-fifth the size of standard futures contracts and micro e-mini futures contracts generally are one-tenth the size of e-mini futures contracts.
Options Risk—Options and 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. Options are subject to correlation risk because there may be an imperfect correlation between the options and the markets for underlying instruments that could cause a given transaction to fail to achieve its objectives. The successful use of options depends on the Advisor’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 options positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Advisor, thus limiting the ability to implement the Fund’s strategies. Options also are particularly subject to leverage risk and can be subject to liquidity risk.
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, for certain standardized swaps, must be traded on a designated contract market or swap execution facility. 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. While exchange trading and central clearing are intended to reduce counterparty credit risk and increase liquidity, they 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, which could increase the cost of swap transactions to the Fund and impose added operational complexity.
Early Closing Risk—The Fund is subject to the risk that unanticipated early closings of securities exchanges and other financial markets may result in the Fund’s inability to buy or sell securities or other financial instruments on that day and may cause the Fund to incur substantial trading losses.
PROSPECTUS | 87

Equity Securities Risk—Equity securities include common stocks and other equity and equity-related securities (and securities convertible into stocks). The Fund is exposed to the risks of equity securities primarily through its investments in equity-related derivatives and other investments. The prices of equity securities generally fluctuate more than those of 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. 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. An increase in the value of equity securities to which the Fund has exposure will adversely affect the value of your investment in the Fund.
Industry Concentration Risk—The Fund may concentrate its investments in a limited number of issuers conducting business in the same industry or group of related industries. To the extent the Fund does so, the Fund is more vulnerable to adverse market, economic, regulatory, political or other developments affecting that industry or group of related industries than a fund that invests its assets more broadly. The industries in which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund's assets, may be concentrated will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. 
Interest Rate Risk—Fixed income and other debt instruments are subject to the possibility that interest rates could change (or are expected to change). Changes in interest rates (or the expectation of such changes) can be difficult to forecast and may adversely affect the Fund’s investments in these instruments, such as the value or liquidity of, and income generated by, the investments. Interest rates may change as a result of a variety of factors, and the change may be sudden and significant, with unpredictable impacts on the financial markets and the Fund’s investments. Fixed income and other debt instruments with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates and, thus, subject to more volatility than similar instruments with shorter durations. Generally, when interest rates increase, the values of previously issued fixed income and other debt instruments decline and when interest rates decrease, the values of fixed income and other debt instruments rise. During periods of rising interest rates, changes in interest rates on adjustable rate securities may lag behind changes in market rates, which may cause the value of such securities to decline until their interest rates reset to market rates. During periods of declining interest rates, because the interest rates on adjustable rate securities generally reset downward, their market value is unlikely to rise to the same extent as the value of comparable fixed rate securities. The Fund’s yield, returns, and performance may be adversely affected by changing interest rates and the Fund’s NAV per share may be more volatile during changing interest rate environments. Changes in fiscal, economic, monetary and other policies or measures have in the past, and may in the future, cause or exacerbate the risks associated with changing interest rates. Changes in interest rates may also lead to an increase in Fund redemptions, which may result in high portfolio turnover costs and lower valuations, thereby adversely affecting the Fund’s performance.
Leveraging Risk—The Fund achieves leveraged exposure to the underlying index through the use of derivative instruments. The more the Fund invests in leveraged instruments, the more this leverage will magnify any losses on those investments. The Fund’s investment in these instruments generally requires a small investment relative to the amount of investment exposure assumed. As a result, such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the amount invested in those instruments. Since the Fund’s investment strategy involves consistently applied leverage, the value of the Fund’s shares will tend to increase or decrease more than the value of any increase or decrease in the underlying index. Leverage will have the effect of magnifying tracking error and also may increase the Fund’s sensitivity to various risks and interest rate environments.
Liquidity and Valuation Risk—It may be difficult for the Fund to purchase and sell particular investments to meet redemption requests or otherwise within a reasonable time at a fair price, or the price at which it has been valued by the Advisor for purposes of the Fund’s NAV, causing the Fund to be less liquid and unable to realize what the Advisor 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. Liquidity and valuation risks are heightened in a changing interest rate or volatile environment particularly for fixed-income and other debt instruments.
Market Risk—The value of, or income generated by, the investments held by the Fund may fluctuate rapidly and unpredictably. These fluctuations may be frequent and significant. In addition, the Fund may incur losses as a result of various market and economic factors, such as those affecting (or perceived to affect) individual companies or issuers or particular industries, or from broader influences, such as general market conditions. In addition, responses to government actions or interventions (including, but not limited, to the threat or imposition of tariffs, trade

restrictions, currency restrictions or similar actions) as well as developments related to economic, political (including geopolitical), social, public health, market, extreme weather, natural or man-made disasters or other conditions or events may cause volatility in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and/or debt markets, which could adversely impact the Fund and its investments and their value and performance. Under such conditions, the Fund (or an underlying fund) may experience significant redemption activity by shareholders and could be forced to sell portfolio securities or other assets at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate sufficient cash to pay redeeming shareholders. Certain securities may be difficult to value under such conditions. The Fund’s investments may perform poorly or underperform the general securities markets or other types of securities.
Non-Diversification Risk—The Fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single issuer's securities could cause greater fluctuations in the value of Fund shares than would occur in a diversified fund. The Fund may become diversified for periods of time solely as a result of changes in the composition of the underlying index (e.g., changes in the relative market capitalization or weights of one or more index component stocks).
OTC Trading Risk—Certain of the derivatives in which the Fund may invest may be traded (and privately negotiated) in the OTC market. While the OTC derivatives market is the primary trading venue for many derivatives, it is largely unregulated and provides for less transparency than a national securities or commodities exchange. As a result and similar to other privately negotiated contracts, the Fund is subject to counterparty credit risk with respect to such derivatives contracts.
Passive Investment Risk—The Fund is not actively managed and the Advisor does not attempt to take defensive positions in rising markets. Therefore, the Fund may be subject to greater losses in a rising market than a fund that is actively managed.
Portfolio Turnover Risk—Periodic rebalancing of the Fund's holdings  pursuant to its daily investment objective may lead to a greater number of portfolio transactions in the Fund than experienced by other mutual funds. Such frequent and active trading may lead to significantly higher transaction costs because of increased broker commissions associated with such transactions.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) Risk—REITs are classified as equity REITs, mortgage REITs or hybrid REITs. Equity REITs own real estate directly and the value of, and income earned by, the REITs depends upon the income of the underlying properties and the rental income they earn. Mortgage REITs make construction, development or long-term mortgage loans and are sensitive to the credit quality of the borrower. Mortgage REITs derive their income from interest earned on such mortgage loans. Hybrid REITs generally hold both ownership interests and mortgage interests in real estate. In addition to the risks pertaining to real estate investments more generally, REITs may be subject to additional risks, including risks associated with the direct ownership of real property, including declines in the value of real estate, risks related to general and local economic conditions, overbuilding and increased competition, increases in property taxes and operating expenses and variations in rental income. REITs (especially mortgage REITs) also are subject to interest rate and prepayment 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. U.S. REITs also are 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.
Regulatory and Legal Risk—U.S. and non-U.S. governmental agencies and other regulators regularly implement additional regulations (or amend regulations) and legislators pass new laws that affect the investments held by the Fund, the strategies used by the Fund and/or the level of regulation or taxation applicable to the Fund, its investments or service providers. These developments impact the investment strategies, performance, costs and operations of the Fund or taxation of shareholders.
Repurchase Agreement Risk—The Fund’s investment in repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk with respect to the collateral securing the repurchase agreements. Investments in repurchase agreements also may be subject to the risk that the market value of the underlying obligations may decline prior to the expiration of the repurchase agreement term.
PROSPECTUS | 89

Sector Risk—To the extent the components of the Fund’s underlying index, and therefore, the Fund’s holdings, have significant exposure to one or more market sectors, the Fund may be especially sensitive to the developments affecting and risks of such market sectors. The sectors to which the underlying index components, and thus the Fund’s assets, may have significant exposure will vary as the composition of the underlying index changes over time. As of June 30, 2026, the Fund is subject to the Sector Risks described below.
Consumer Discretionary Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Consumer Discretionary Sector. The manufacturing segment of the Consumer Discretionary Sector includes automobiles and components, household durable goods, leisure products, and textiles and apparel. The services segment includes hotels, restaurants and other leisure facilities, and distributors and retailers of consumer discretionary products. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Consumer Discretionary Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Consumer Discretionary Sector has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall economy, and also is affected by economic growth, consumer confidence, attitudes and spending. Changes in demographics and consumer tastes also can affect the demand for, and success of, consumer products and services in the marketplace. Moreover, the Consumer Discretionary Sector encompasses those businesses that tend to be the most sensitive to economic cycles.
Energy Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Energy Sector. The Energy Sector includes companies operating in the exploration and production, refining and marketing, and storage and transportation of oil and gas and coal and consumable fuels. It also includes companies that offer oil and gas equipment and related services. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Energy Sector. The Energy Sector has historically experienced substantial price volatility. The performance of companies operating in the Energy Sector is closely tied to the price and supply of energy fuels and international political events, and companies operating in the Energy Sector are subject to market and other specific risks, including, among others: fluctuations in commodity prices and/or interest rates; increased governmental or environmental regulation or policy; reduced availability of natural gas or other commodities for transporting, processing, storing or delivering; declines in domestic or foreign production or consumption; slowdowns in new construction; extreme weather or other natural disasters; consumer preferences; and threats of attack by terrorists and state-sponsored actors on energy assets. In addition, companies in the Energy Sector are at risk of liability from accidents resulting in injury, loss of life or property, pollution or other environmental damage claims. Energy companies also can be significantly affected by the supply of, and demand for, particular energy products (such as oil and natural gas), which may result in overproduction or underproduction. Over time, depletion of natural gas reserves and other energy reserves may also affect the profitability of energy companies.
Financials Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Financials Sector. The Financials Sector includes companies involved in banking, financial services (including commercial and residential mortgage finance), consumer finance, capital markets (including asset management and custody banks, investment banking and brokerage), Mortgage Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), and insurance. Certain Financials Sector issuers serve as counterparties with which the Fund may enter into derivatives agreements or other similar contractual arrangements. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Financials Sector, which may adversely affect a company's ability to fulfill its obligations as a financial counterparty. Companies operating in the Financials Sector are subject to extensive government regulation, which may limit the financial commitments they can make and the interest rates and fees they can charge. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and may fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition.
Health Care Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Health Care Sector. The Health Care Sector includes health care providers and services, companies that manufacture and distribute health care equipment and supplies, and health care technology companies. It also includes companies involved in the research, development, production and marketing of pharmaceuticals and biotechnology products. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Health Care Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Health Care
90 | PROSPECTUS

Sector is closely tied to government regulation and policies (such as health care reform measures) and may be affected by government approval of products and services, competitive pricing pressures, rising costs of medical products and services, product obsolescence, and product liability and other similar litigation. In addition, companies operating in the Health Care Sector are heavily dependent on patent and other intellectual property rights, and a company’s ability to obtain and protect its patents (or the failure to do so) may affect profitability.
Industrials Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Industrials Sector. The Industrials Sector includes manufacturers and distributors of capital goods, such as aerospace and defense, building projects, electrical equipment and machinery, and companies that offer construction and engineering services. The Industrials Sector also includes providers of commercial and professional services including printing, environmental and facilities services, office services and supplies, security and alarm services, human resource and employment services, research and consulting services, and transportation services. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Industrials Sector. The prices of the securities of companies operating in the Industrials Sector may fluctuate due to the level and volatility of commodity prices, the exchange value of the dollar and economic conditions, import controls, worldwide competition, product liability claims, liability for environmental damage, depletion of resources, and mandated expenditures for safety and pollution control devices. In addition, the products of companies operating in the Industrials Sector may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments and the rapid introduction of new products.
Information Technology Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Information Technology Sector. The Information Technology Sector includes companies that offer software and information technology services, manufacturers and distributors of technology hardware and equipment (such as communications equipment, cellular phones, computers and peripherals), electronic equipment and related equipment and materials, and semiconductors and related equipment and materials. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Information Technology Sector. Companies in the Information Technology Sector may be affected by limited product lines, market competition (both domestically and internationally), financial resources and/or personnel. The prices of the securities of companies operating in the Information Technology Sector are closely tied to increased sensitivity to short product cycles and product obsolescence, aggressive pricing, and problems with bringing products to market. Failure to introduce new products, develop and maintain a loyal customer base, or achieve general market acceptance for products could have a material adverse effect on a company’s business. In addition, companies in the Information Technology Sector are heavily dependent on intellectual property and the loss of patent, copyright and trademark protections may adversely affect the profitability of these companies.
Materials Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Materials Sector. The Materials Sector includes companies that manufacture chemicals, construction materials, forest products, glass, paper and related packaging products, and metals, minerals and mining companies, including producers of steel. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Materials Sector. The prices of the securities of companies operating in the Materials Sector may fluctuate widely due to fluctuations in supply and demand for basic materials, volatility of commodity prices, the exchange value of the U.S. dollar, import controls, world economic growth and competition, depletion of resources and energy conservation, liability for environmental damage, technological progress, and government regulations, including international political and economic developments, the environmental impact of energy and basic materials operations and tax and other governmental regulatory policies.
Real Estate Sector Risk. The Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Real Estate Sector. The Real Estate Sector includes companies operating in real estate development and operations. It also includes companies offering real estate-related services and REITs. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Real Estate Sector. The performance of companies operating in the Real Estate Sector has historically been cyclical and particularly sensitive to the overall economy and market changes, including declines in the value of real estate
PROSPECTUS | 91

or, conversely, saturation of the real estate market, economic downturns and defaults by borrowers or tenants during such periods, increases in competition, limited availability of mortgage funds or other limits to accessing the credit or capital markets, and changes in interest rates.
Shareholder Trading Risk—The Fund may be used as a tool for certain investors that employ trading strategies involving frequent trading. Such trading strategies may lead to increased portfolio turnover in the Fund, higher transaction costs, and the possibility of increased short-term capital gains (which will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income when distributed to them) and/or long-term capital gains.  Large movements of assets into and out of the Fund due to active or frequent trading also may adversely affect the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective.
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 and leverage risks. The loss on a short sale or other short exposure, which, in some cases, may be theoretically unlimited, may be 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. 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 outperform 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.
Tracking Error Risk—The Advisor may not be able to cause the Fund’s performance to match that of the Fund’s benchmark, either on a daily or aggregate basis. Factors such as Fund expenses, imperfect correlation between the Fund’s investments and those of the underlying index, rounding of share prices, changes to the composition of the underlying index, regulatory policies, high portfolio turnover rate, and the use of leverage all contribute to tracking error. Tracking error may cause the Fund’s performance to be less than you expect.
Trading Halt Risk—The Fund typically will hold futures contracts and short-term options. The major exchanges on which these contracts are traded, such as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, have established limits on how much the trading price of a futures contract or option may decline over various time periods within a day, and may halt trading in a contract that exceeds such limits. If a trading halt occurs, the Fund may temporarily be unable to purchase or sell certain securities, futures contracts or options. Such a trading halt near the time the Fund prices its shares may limit the Fund’s ability to use leverage and fully invest its assets, which could increase tracking error and adversely affect performance, and may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
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. In addition, U.S. government securities not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government involve credit risk that is greater than other types of U.S. government securities.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

PURCHASE AND SALE OF FUND SHARES
The minimum initial investment amounts and minimum account balance requirements for Class H accounts held through a third party (e.g., a brokerage account) are typically:
$1,000 for retirement accounts
$2,500 for all other accounts
Class H accounts opened through a financial intermediary (non-direct) will be subject to your financial intermediary’s minimum initial investment amount and account balance requirements, which may be different than the amounts above.
Class H accounts held directly at Guggenheim Investments (other than those that are managed by financial professionals) are subject to a minimum initial investment and account balance of $5,000 (including retirement accounts).
Direct accounts managed by financial professionals are not subject to minimum initial investment and minimum account balance requirements.
There are no minimum amounts for subsequent investments in the Fund except for subsequent investments made via Automated Clearing House (“ACH”).
The Fund reserves the right to modify its minimum account balance requirements at any time, with or without prior notice to you.
The Fund redeems its shares continuously and investors may sell their shares back to the Fund on any day that the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) is open for business (a “Business Day”). 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 Fund also offers you the option to send redemption orders to Guggenheim Investments by mail, fax or telephone.
TAX INFORMATION
Fund distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income or capital gains (or a combination of both), unless your investment is in an individual retirement account or other tax-advantaged retirement account. Investments through a tax-advantaged retirement account may be subject to taxation upon withdrawal.
PAYMENTS TO BROKER-DEALERS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES
If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), 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.

More Information About the Trust and the Funds
Rydex Dynamic Funds (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust offering a number of professionally managed investment portfolios, or funds. This Prospectus describes the Class H shares of the S&P 500® 2x Strategy Fund, Inverse S&P 500® 2x Strategy Fund, NASDAQ-100® 2x Strategy Fund, Inverse NASDAQ-100® 2x Strategy Fund, Dow 2x Strategy Fund, Inverse Dow 2x Strategy Fund, Russell 2000® 2x Strategy Fund and Inverse Russell 2000® 2x Strategy Fund (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”).
The Funds may be appropriate for investors who use an investment strategy that relies on frequent buying, selling, or exchanging among stock mutual funds, because the Funds do not limit how often an investor may exchange among Funds. In addition, the Funds do not impose any transaction fees when investors exchange shares. The Funds provide multiple opportunities for investors to capitalize on market trends and to capture market momentum with intra-day Fund share pricing and trading. Dynamic asset allocators also may utilize intra-day trading as a defensive strategy to react to market movements before investments are adversely affected.
For purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), each Fund is a registered investment company, and the acquisition of Fund shares by other investment companies is subject to the restrictions of Section 12(d)(1) thereof. Any investment company considering purchasing shares of a Fund in amounts that would cause it to exceed the restrictions of Section 12(d)(1) should first contact the Trust to determine if the Fund may accept such investment. Rule 12d1-4 under the 1940 Act permits registered investment companies to invest in the Funds beyond the limits of Section 12(d)(1) subject to certain terms and conditions, including that such registered investment companies enter into an agreement with the Trust. However, a Fund may not be permitted to accept such an investment by another investment company if the Fund is currently invested in the securities of other investment companies beyond the limits set forth in Section 12(d)(1)(A) in reliance on Rule 12d1-4.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
The investment objective of each Fund is non-fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval.
If each of the S&P 500® 2x Strategy Fund, NASDAQ-100® 2x Strategy Fund, Dow 2x Strategy Fund, and Russell 2000® 2x Strategy Fund meets its investment objective, the value of the Fund’s shares will tend to increase on a daily basis by 200% of any increase in the value of the Fund’s underlying index (e.g., if the value of the underlying index goes up by 5%, the value of the Fund’s shares should go up by 10% on that day). When the value of the Fund’s underlying index declines, the value of the Fund’s shares should also decrease on a daily basis by 200% of any decrease in the value of the underlying index (e.g., if the value of the underlying index goes down by 5%, the value of the Fund’s shares should go down by 10% on that day).
If each of the Inverse S&P 500® 2x Strategy Fund, Inverse NASDAQ-100® 2x Strategy Fund, Inverse Dow 2x Strategy Fund, and Inverse Russell 2000® 2x Strategy Fund meets its investment objective, the value of the Fund’s shares will tend to increase on a daily basis by 200% of any decrease in the value of the Fund’s underlying index (e.g., if the value of the Fund’s underlying index goes down by 5%, the value of the Fund’s shares should go up by 10% on that day). When the value of the Fund’s underlying index increases, the value of the Fund’s shares should decrease on a daily basis by 200% of any increase in the value of the underlying index (e.g., if the value of the Fund’s underlying index goes up by 5%, the value of the Fund’s shares should go down by 10% on that day).
None of the Funds seek to achieve their respective investment objectives over a period of time greater than a single day. As a result of compounding, which is discussed in greater detail under “Understanding Compounding & the Effect of Leverage,” each Fund’s performance for periods greater than a single day is likely to be either greater than or less than the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, before Fund fees and expenses.
Each of the S&P 500® 2x Strategy Fund’s, NASDAQ-100® 2x Strategy Fund’s, Dow 2x Strategy Fund’s, and Russell 2000® 2x Strategy Fund’s investment policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in financial instruments with economic characteristics that should perform similarly to the securities of companies in its underlying index is a non-fundamental policy that can be changed by each Fund upon 60 days’ prior notice to shareholders. Each of the Inverse S&P 500® 2x Strategy Fund’s, Inverse NASDAQ-100® 2x Strategy Fund’s, Inverse Dow 2x Strategy Fund’s, and Inverse Russell 2000® 2x Strategy Fund’s investment policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in financial instruments with economic characteristics that should perform inversely to the securities of companies in its underlying index is a non-fundamental policy that can be changed by each Fund upon 60 days’ prior notice to shareholders. For purposes of
PROSPECTUS | 95

determining compliance with a Fund's 80% investment policy (an “80% investment policy”) adopted pursuant to Rule 35d-1 under the 1940 Act, a Fund will value any derivatives instrument or physical short position using calculation required by the applicable 1940 Act regulation. Derivatives instruments used by the Fund will be counted toward the Fund’s 80% investment policy to the extent they provide investment exposure to investments included within that policy or to one or more of the market risk factors associated with investments included in that policy.
For purposes of determining a Fund’s compliance with the Fund’s 80% investment policy, the Fund may, to the extent permitted by its investment strategies, seek to obtain exposure to investments consistent with the investment focus that the Fund’s name suggests, through a variety of investment vehicles, principally closed-end funds, ETFs and other mutual funds, where the identity of those underlying portfolio securities can be reasonably determined or where the Fund has an 80% investment policy to invest in investments consistent with the investment focus that the Fund’s name suggests. In such cases, the Fund may look through to the underlying holdings of investment companies in which the Fund invests or may include the entire value of the Fund’s investment in other appropriate investment companies without looking through to the holdings of such investment companies. As with any investment, there can be no guarantee a Fund will achieve its investment objective.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
In managing the Funds, the Advisor uses a “passive” investment strategy to manage each Fund’s portfolio, meaning that the Advisor does not attempt to select securities based on their individual potential to perform better than the market. The Advisor’s primary objective for the Funds is to match the performance of each Fund’s benchmark as closely as possible on a daily basis. The Advisor uses quantitative analysis techniques to structure each Fund to obtain the highest correlation to its particular benchmark. The Advisor does not engage in temporary defensive investing and seeks to keep each Fund’s assets fully invested in all market environments. The Advisor monitors each Fund on an ongoing basis, and makes adjustments to its portfolio, as necessary, to minimize tracking error and to maximize liquidity.
The Advisor pursues the Funds’ investment objectives by regularly utilizing leveraged instruments, such as futures contracts and options on securities, futures contracts, and securities indices. In addition, the Advisor will regularly utilize short selling techniques designed to help the performance to inversely correlate to 200% of the performance of the relevant underlying index for the Inverse S&P 500® 2x Strategy Fund, Inverse NASDAQ-100® 2x Strategy Fund, Inverse Dow 2x Strategy Fund, and Inverse Russell 2000® 2x Strategy Fund.
The Funds may be appropriate for investors who believe that over the long-term, the value of the Funds' respective underlying indexes will increase or decrease, and that by investing with the objective of doubling (for each of the Leveraged Funds) or doubling the inverse of (for each of the Leveraged Inverse Funds) the index’s daily return the Funds will achieve superior results over time. Investors should understand that, because each Fund seeks a multiple of or multiple of the inverse of the daily performance of its underlying index, the Funds are expected to experience greater daily volatility than conventional index funds. For example, if a Fund seeks to double the daily performance of the index underlying its benchmark, it should have twice the daily volatility of a conventional index fund. This increases the potential risk of loss. Due to the effects of compounding and leverage, in periods of increased market volatility, it is possible a Fund may sustain investment losses when the performance of the Fund's underlying index is flat and even when the benchmark's performance is improving.
The Funds are not suitable for all investors. The Funds are designed to be utilized only by sophisticated investors, such as traders and active investors employing dynamic strategies. Investors in the Funds should: (a) understand the risks associated with the use of leverage, (b) understand the consequences of seeking daily leveraged investment results, (c) for the Inverse Leveraged Funds, understand the risks of shorting, and (d) intend to actively monitor and manage their investments. Investors who do not understand the Funds or do not actively manage and monitor their investments should not buy shares of the Funds. An investment in a Fund is not a complete investment program.
Securities Lending. The Funds participate in a securities lending program (the “Securities Lending Program”) offered by The Bank of New York Mellon (‘‘Bank of New York’’) pursuant to the terms of a securities lending agreement entered into between the Trust and Bank of New York. Securities lending involves the risk that a Fund may lose money because the borrower of the Fund’s loaned securities fails to return the securities in a timely manner or at all. As a result, a Fund could lose money if it experiences a delay in recovering the loaned securities or if it is ultimately unable to recover the securities. Although each Fund receives collateral (often in the form of repurchase agreements) based on the value of the loaned securities and indemnifications from its lending agent, a Fund could still lose money if the value of the collateral declines, including the value of any investments made with
96 | PROSPECTUS

cash collateral, or if the lending agent fails to perform its obligations under its lending agreement with the Fund. A Fund’s securities lending activities could also trigger adverse tax consequences for the Fund and affect the amount, timing and character of distributions to shareholders. For example, if a Fund loans its securities, the Fund and its investors may lose the ability to treat certain Fund distributions associated with those activities as qualified dividend income.
Cash Sweep Arrangement. Each Fund expects to participate in a cash sweep program where all or a portion of the Fund’s uninvested cash balance is used to purchase shares of affiliated or unaffiliated money market funds or cash management pooled investment vehicles at the end of each day. Currently, each Fund expects to invest all or a portion of its uninvested cash balance in a “government money market fund” as defined by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. A Fund’s participation in a cash sweep program subjects the Fund to the risks associated with the underlying money market funds or cash management pooled investment vehicles. These risks may include, among others, the impact of significant fluctuations in assets as a result of the cash sweep program or purchase and redemption activity by affiliated or non-affiliated shareholders in such other funds or pooled investment vehicles. As a shareholder of a money market fund or cash management pooled investment vehicle, a Fund would indirectly bear the fees and expenses of the underlying fund or pooled investment vehicle which are in addition to the fees the Fund pays its service providers.

The S&P 500® 2x Strategy Fund, NASDAQ-100® 2x Strategy Fund, Dow 2x Strategy Fund, and Russell 2000® 2x Strategy Fund (each, a “Leveraged Fund” and collectively, the “Leveraged Funds”) seek daily leveraged investment results. The Inverse S&P 500® 2x Strategy Fund, Inverse NASDAQ-100® 2x Strategy Fund, Inverse Dow 2x Strategy Fund, and Inverse Russell 2000® 2x Strategy Fund (each a “Leveraged Inverse Fund” and collectively, the “Leveraged Inverse Funds”) seek to provide leveraged investment results that match the inverse of the performance of a specific benchmark on a daily basis. The Leveraged Funds and the Leveraged Inverse Funds may be referred to collectively as the “Funds.”
As discussed in each Fund’s Summary section, the Funds’ performance is subject to the effects of compounding and leverage, which are discussed in more detail below.
UNDERSTANDING COMPOUNDING & THE EFFECT OF LEVERAGE
It is important to understand the effects of compounding when investing in any mutual fund, especially funds that use leverage as part of their investment strategy. The effect of leverage on a fund that rebalances on a daily basis will generally cause the fund’s performance to not match the performance of the fund’s benchmark over a period of time greater than one day. As a result, the use of leverage could cause the performance of a fund to be less than or greater than the performance of the index underlying the fund’s benchmark multiplied by the amount of leverage employed, before accounting for fees and expenses. The following simple examples provide an illustration:
Example A: Assume you invest $100 in Fund A, a typical index fund that seeks to match the performance of its underlying index. If the index increases 10% on day one, the value of your shares in Fund A would be expected to increase $10 (10% of $100) to $110. The next day, if the index decreases 10%, the value of your shares in Fund A would be expected to decrease $11 (10% of $110) to $99.
Example B: Assume you invested $100 in Fund B, a fund that seeks to return 200% of the performance of its underlying index. If the index increases 10% on day one, the value of your shares in Fund B would be expected to increase $20 (20% of $100) to $120. The next day, if the index decreases 10%, the value of your shares in Fund B would be expected to decrease $24 (20% of $120) to $96.
Because of the effect of compounding, in each case the value of your investment declined even though the index went up 10% on day one and down 10% on day two. However, the effect of compounding was more pronounced when combined with leverage (Example B).
The examples demonstrate that over time, the cumulative percentage increase or decrease in the NAV of a fund may diverge significantly from the cumulative percentage increase or decrease in the multiple of the return of the index underlying a fund’s benchmark due to the compounding effect of losses and gains on the returns of the fund. It also is expected that a fund’s use of consistently applied leverage will cause the fund to underperform the compounded return of twice its benchmark in a trendless or flat market.
PROSPECTUS | 97

The following graphs further illustrate the effect of leverage on fund performance in comparison to the performance of the fund’s underlying index in three different markets. Each of the three graphs shows a simulated hypothetical of the one-year performance of an index compared with the performance of a fund that perfectly achieves its investment objective of exactly twice (200%) the daily index returns.
In order to isolate the effect of leverage, the hypothetical graphs assume: (i) no tracking error (see “Tracking Error Risk” under “Descriptions of Principal Risks”); (ii) no dividends paid by the companies included in the underlying index; (iii) no expenses; and (iv) borrowing and/or lending rates (required to obtain leverage) of zero percent. If tracking error, fund expenses, and borrowing and lending rates of greater than zero percent were included in the graphs, the fund’s performance would be lower than that shown below. Each of the graphs also assumes an index volatility of 20%. An index’s volatility is a statistical measure of the magnitude of the fluctuations in the returns of an index. For example, the annualized historical volatility rate for the five-year period ended June 30, 2026 of the S&P 500® Index is 15.85%. The S&P 500® Index’s volatility may be more or less significant at any given time. The indices underlying the Funds’ benchmarks have different historical volatilities, which may be more or less significant than the index volatilities assumed in the graphs below. The annualized historical volatility rate for the five-year period ended June 30, 2026 of the other indices underlying the Funds’ benchmarks is as follows: Dow Jones Industrial Average® 14.98%; NASDAQ-100 Index® 20.74%; and Russell 2000® Index 20.75%. The hypothetical graphs are meant to demonstrate the effects of leverage only and are in no way indicative of the actual performance of any of the Funds.

MARKET VOLATILITY
Each Fund seeks to provide a return that is a multiple of the daily performance of its underlying index. No Fund attempts to, and no Fund should be expected to, provide returns that are a multiple of the return of the underlying index for periods other than a single day. Each Fund rebalances its portfolio on a daily basis, increasing exposure in response to that day’s gains or reducing exposure in response to that day’s losses. Investors should understand the consequences of holding daily rebalanced funds for periods longer than a single day and should actively manage and monitor their investments, as frequently as daily.
Daily rebalancing will impair a Fund’s performance if the benchmark experiences volatility. For instance, a hypothetical 2x daily leveraged fund would be expected to lose -3.9% (as shown in Table 1 below) if its benchmark provided no return over a one-year period during which its benchmark experienced annualized volatility of 20%. If the benchmark’s annualized volatility were to rise to 40%, the hypothetical loss for a one-year period for a 2x daily leveraged fund widens to approximately -14.8% while the loss for a 2x inverse fund rises to -38.0%. At higher
PROSPECTUS | 99

ranges of volatility, there is a chance of a near complete loss of fund value even if the benchmark is flat. For instance, if annualized volatility of the benchmark is 90%, a 2x leveraged inverse fund targeted to the same benchmark would be expected to lose more than 90% of its value even if the cumulative benchmark return for the year was 0%. An index’s volatility rate is a statistical measure of the magnitude of fluctuations in the returns of an index.

Table 1 shows the hypothetical loss for a one-year period, assuming the above annualized volatility range for a hypothetical benchmark that provided no return over the one-year period. The hypothetical loss was determined based upon 100,000 simulations performed with randomly generated daily returns normally distributed around 0%. The return values shown represent the mean leveraged final return for all samples with an unleveraged final return between -1% and +1%.
Table 2 shows the range of annualized volatility for the indices to which the Funds are benchmarked for the five-year period ended June 30, 2026. The indices to which the Funds are benchmarked have historical volatility rates over that period ranging from 14.98% to 20.75%. Since market volatility has negative implications for funds that rebalance daily, investors should be sure to monitor and manage their investments in the Funds in volatile markets. The negative implications of volatility in Table 1 can be combined with the recent volatility ranges of various indices in Table 2 to give investors some sense of the risks of holding the Funds for long periods. These tables are intended to simply underscore the fact that the Funds are designed for investors who (a) understand the risks associated with the use of leverage, (b) understand the consequences of seeking daily leveraged investment results, (c) understand the risks of shorting and (d) intend to actively monitor and manage their investments. They are not intended to be used by, and are not appropriate for, investors who do not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios.

A PRECAUTIONARY NOTE TO INVESTORS REGARDING DRAMATIC INDEX MOVEMENT
Each Leveraged Fund seeks daily exposure to its underlying index equal to 200% of its net assets while each Leveraged Inverse Fund seeks daily exposure to its underlying index equal to -200% of its net assets. As a consequence, for each Leveraged Fund, the risk of total loss of your investment exists in the event of a decline in the value of the underlying index of a Leveraged Fund and for each Leveraged Inverse Fund the risk of total loss exists in the event of a gain in the value of the underlying index of a Leveraged Inverse Fund. Due to the effects of
100 | PROSPECTUS

compounding and leverage, in periods of increased market volatility, it also is possible that a Fund may sustain investment losses when the performance of its underlying index is flat and even when the benchmark's performance is improving. In short, the risk of total loss of your investment exists.
THE PROJECTED RETURNS OF LEVERAGED FUNDS FOR SHARES HELD LONGER THAN A FULL TRADING DAY
The Funds seek daily leveraged investment results, which should not be equated with seeking a leveraged goal for longer than a day. For instance, if a Leveraged Fund’s underlying index gains 10% for a week, the Leveraged Fund’s shares should not be expected to provide a return of 20% for the week even if it meets its daily target throughout the week. This is true because of the fund expenses set forth in the prospectus, but also because the pursuit of daily goals may result in daily leveraged compounding, which means that the return of an index over a period of time greater than one day multiplied by a Leveraged Fund’s or Leveraged Inverse Fund’s daily target or inverse daily target (e.g., 200% or -200%) will not generally equal a Leveraged Fund’s or Leveraged Inverse Fund’s performance over that same period.
The following charts set out a range of hypothetical daily performances during a given 10 trading days of an index and demonstrate how changes in the index affect a Leveraged Fund’s and Leveraged Inverse Fund’s performance for a trading day and cumulatively up to, and including, the entire 10-trading day period. The charts are based on a hypothetical $100 investment in a Leveraged Fund and Leveraged Inverse Fund over a 10-trading day period and do not reflect expenses of any kind.

The volatility of the benchmark performance and lack of clear trend results in performance for each Leveraged Fund and Leveraged Inverse Fund for the period which bears little relationship to the performance of the Funds’ underlying index for the 10-trading day period.

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 Funds’ Statement of Additional Information (the “SAI”). An investment or type of security only identified in the SAI typically is treated as a non-principal investment. Additional information about the principal risks and certain non-principal risks of the Funds is set forth below. The risks are listed in alphabetical order, not in the
102 | PROSPECTUS

order of importance or potential exposure, and not all of the risks are principal risks for each Fund. The relative significance of each risk may change over time and you should review each risk carefully because any one or more of these risks may result in losses to a Fund. The fact that a particular risk is not indicated as a principal risk for a Fund does not mean that the Fund is prohibited from investing its assets in securities or investments that give rise to that risk. It simply means that the risk is not a principal risk for that Fund. An investment in a Fund does not constitute a complete investment program.
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 adviser can be replaced, and an investment sub-adviser can be appointed to manage a Fund.
Investors should be aware that economies and financial markets throughout the world have in recent periods experienced varying degrees of increased uncertainty and volatility because of, among other factors, geopolitical tensions, labor and public health conditions around the world, inflation, tariffs, and changing interest rates. To the extent these or similar conditions continue or recur in the future, the risks described below could be heightened significantly and a Fund’s investments and a shareholder’s investment in a Fund may be subject to reduced yield and/or income and sudden and substantial losses. The fact that a particular risk is not specifically identified as a heightened risk under current conditions does not mean that the risk is not greater than under normal conditions.
Capitalization Securities Risk—The 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, the Fund may be subject to the risk that the predominate capitalization range represented in the Fund’s portfolio or underlying index may underperform other segments of the equity market or the equity market as a whole. If the Fund has net short exposure to the components in its portfolio or underlying index, it is subject to the risk that the predominate capitalization range represented in its portfolio or underlying index may outperform 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. The 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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Risk—When all or a portion of the Fund’s assets are allocated to cash or cash equivalents, the Fund’s potential for gain during a market upswing may be limited or the Fund may not participate in the market upswing and there is a possibility that the Fund will be unable to keep pace with inflation. Cash equivalents include, among other things, shares in money market funds that invest in short-term, high-quality instruments, the value of which generally are tied to changes in interest rates. Cash equivalents are not guaranteed as to principal or interest, and the Fund could lose money through these investments.
Compounding Risk—In addition to the correlation risks described under “Correlation Risk”, the Fund’s returns are subject to the effects of compounding, which generally will cause the Fund’s performance to not correlate to the performance of the Fund’s benchmark over periods greater than a single day, before accounting for fees and fund expenses. Compounded returns are the result of reinvesting daily returns over periods greater than a single day. The Fund’s compounded returns for periods greater than a single day will be different than the performance of the benchmark over the same period. The effects of compounding on the performance of the Fund will be more pronounced when the underlying index experiences increased volatility, the greater the leverage employed in the Fund, and over longer holding periods.
PROSPECTUS | 103

Compounding affects the performance of all investments over time but has a more significant effect on a leveraged index fund because the magnified changes in performance produced by the use of leverage lead to greater increases and decreases in the fund’s daily returns which are then compounded over time. The effects of compounding, therefore, have a more significant effect on the Fund because it seeks to match a multiple or inverse multiple, as applicable, of the performance of the Fund’s underlying index or reference asset on a daily basis.
Correlation Risk—A number of factors may affect the Fund’s ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with its benchmark, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. A number of factors may adversely affect the Fund’s correlation with its benchmark, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, costs and risks associated with the use of leveraged investment techniques, income items, accounting standards and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests. The Fund may not have investment exposure to all of the securities in its underlying index or the Fund’s weighting of investment exposure to such securities or industries may be different from that of its underlying index. In addition, the Fund may invest in securities or financial instruments not included in its underlying index. The Fund may be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or under-exposed to its benchmark. Activities surrounding annual index reconstitutions and other index rebalancing or reconstitution events carried out on a particular day or day(s) also may hinder the Fund’s ability to meet its daily investment objective on that day.
Counterparty Credit Risk—Counterparty risk is the risk that a counterparty to Fund transactions (e.g., prime brokerage or securities lending arrangements or derivatives transactions) will be unable or unwilling to perform its contractual obligation to the Fund. The Fund may invest in financial instruments and derivatives 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. The 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 and related arrangements (e.g., prime brokerage or securities lending arrangements or derivatives transactions), the Fund is exposed to credit risks that the counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments or otherwise meet its contractual obligations. If the counterparty becomes bankrupt or defaults on (or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling to perform) its payment or other 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 or other assets held by, or on behalf of, the counterparty. If this occurs, or if exercising contractual rights involves delays or costs for the Fund, the value of your shares in the Fund may decrease. Such risk is heightened in market environments where interest rates are rising.
The 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 of the counterparties' other trading partners or borrowers.
Cyber Security, Market Disruptions and Operational Risk—As in other parts of the economy, the Fund and its service providers, as well as exchanges and market participants through or with which the Fund trades and other infrastructures and services on which the Fund or its service providers rely, are susceptible to ongoing risks related to cyber incidents and the risks associated with financial, economic, public health, labor and other global market developments and disruptions. Cyber incidents, which can be perpetrated by a variety of means, including ransomware attacks, may result in actual or potential adverse consequences for critical information and communications technology, systems and networks that are vital to the operations of the Fund or its service providers. Geopolitical tensions may, from time to time, increase the scale and sophistication of cyber incidents and other disruptions. Technological developments such as the use of cloud-based service providers and/or services and the integration of artificial intelligence in systems and operations create new risks that are difficult to assess and anticipate. For example, the Fund’s service providers and market participants on which the Fund relies may use artificial intelligence (such as machine learning, generative artificial intelligence or blockchain technology) and similar technologies in the provision of services to the Fund and its operations generally. Such use may subject these service providers and market participants and, in turn, their services and operations to increased risks associated with such technologies, including risk of errors, cybersecurity, data protection and information technology risk, operational risk, and legal, regulatory and compliance risk. In addition, any controls in place designed to mitigate such risks may be ineffective and the use of these technologies may change over time, which may present new risks and vulnerabilities. As a result, the Fund may experience adverse consequences, such as operational errors, from such use of artificial intelligence and similar technologies.

A cyber incident or sudden market, operational, technological (including widespread system outages or faulty updates to software applications) or other disruption could adversely impact the Fund, its service providers or its shareholders by, among other things, interfering with the processing of shareholder transactions or other operational functionality, impacting the Fund’s ability to calculate its NAV or other data, causing the release of private or confidential information, impeding trading, causing reputational damage, and subjecting the Fund to fines, penalties or financial losses or otherwise adversely affecting the operations, systems and activities of the Fund, its service providers and market intermediaries. These types of adverse consequences also could result from other operational disruptions or failures arising from, for example, processing errors, human errors, and other technological issues. In each case, the Fund’s ability to calculate its NAV correctly, in a timely manner or process trades or Fund or shareholder transactions may be adversely affected, including over a potentially extended period. The Fund and its service providers may directly bear these risks and related costs. In addition, the use of work-from-home arrangements or the use of contingency plans by the Fund, the Advisor (or their service providers) could increase all of the above risks, create additional data and information accessibility concerns, and make the Fund, the Advisor (or their service providers) more susceptible to operational disruptions, any of which could adversely impact their operations. Furthermore, the Fund may be an appealing target for cybersecurity threats such as hackers and malware.
Depositary Receipt Risk—The 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”), American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”) and International Depositary Receipts (“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. The 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 the 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 the 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 the Fund. Depositary receipts are generally subject to the same risks as the foreign securities that they evidence or into which they may be converted. The 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—The 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 the Fund’s portfolio; to seek to manage certain investment risks; as a substitute for the purchase or sale of securities or currencies; and/or to obtain or replicate market exposure. The use of such derivatives exposes the Fund to risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in the instruments underlying those derivatives, including risks relating to leverage, market conditions and market risk, imperfect correlation (imperfect correlations with underlying instruments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings), high price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty credit, illiquidity, valuation, operational and legal restrictions and risk. The use of such derivatives also may expose the Fund to the performance of securities that the Fund does not own. To the extent the Fund engages in derivatives in an attempt to hedge certain exposures or risks, there can be no assurance that the Fund’s hedging investments or transactions will be effective. In addition, hedging investments or transactions involve costs and may reduce gains or result in losses, which may adversely affect the Fund. The use of derivatives may result in leverage, which may
PROSPECTUS | 105

cause the Fund to be more volatile and riskier than if it had not been leveraged. Changes in value of a derivative also may create sudden margin delivery or settlement payment obligations for the Fund, which can materially affect the performance of the Fund and its liquidity and other risk profiles. The skills necessary to successfully execute derivatives strategies may be different from those for more traditional portfolio management techniques, and if the Advisor is incorrect about its expectations of market conditions, the use of derivatives also could result in a loss, which in some cases may be unlimited. Use of derivatives also may cause the Fund to be subject to additional regulations, which may generate additional Fund expenses. These practices also entail transactional expenses and may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of short-term capital gains than if the Fund had not engaged in such transactions. The markets for certain derivatives, including those located in certain foreign countries, are relatively new and still developing, which may expose the Fund to increased counterparty credit and liquidity risks.
Certain of the derivatives in which the Fund invests are traded (and privately negotiated) in the OTC market. OTC derivatives are complex and often valued subjectively, which exposes the Fund to heightened credit, legal, liquidity, mispricing and valuation risks. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to the Fund. In addition, OTC derivative instruments are often highly customized and tailored to meet the needs of the Fund and its 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. Similar to other privately negotiated contracts, the Fund is subject to counterparty credit risk with respect to such derivative contracts. Certain derivatives are subject to mandatory exchange trading and/or clearing, which exposes the Fund to the credit risk of the clearing broker or clearinghouse. While exchange trading and central clearing are intended to reduce counterparty credit risk and to increase liquidity, they do not make derivatives transactions risk-free. Certain risks also are specific to the derivatives in which the Fund invests.
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, for certain standardized swaps subject to mandatory central clearing, must be traded on a designated contract market or swap execution facility. 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. The 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. The Fund may utilize swap agreements in an attempt to gain exposure to certain securities without purchasing those securities to speculate on the movement of such securities or to hedge a position. Risks associated with the use of swap agreements are different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions, largely 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 and could result in substantial losses to the Fund. In addition, the Fund may pay fees or incur costs each time it enters into, amends or terminates a swap agreement.
As noted above, certain standardized swaps are subject to mandatory exchange trading and central clearing. While exchange trading and central clearing are intended to reduce counterparty credit risk and increase liquidity, they do not make swap transactions risk-free. Margin requirements, including minimums, on OTC swaps, which may result in the Fund and its counterparties posting higher margin amounts for OTC swaps, could increase the cost of swap transactions to the Fund and impose added operational complexity. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and related regulatory developments require the clearing and exchange-trading of many OTC derivative instruments that the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”) and the SEC have defined as “swaps.” In addition, CFTC position limits rules could limit the ability of the Fund to place certain trades. It is possible that positions held by the Fund may have to be liquidated in order to avoid exceeding such limits. These limitations could adversely affect the operations and performance of the Fund.
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 (i.e., payment of the gain or loss on the contract). Futures are often used to manage or hedge risk because they enable an investor to buy or sell an asset in the future at an agreed-upon price. Futures also are used 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 or other instruments; and to adjust portfolio duration. Futures are subject to correlation risk. In addition, there is the risk that the 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 the Fund’s NAV. Exchanges can limit the number of
106 | PROSPECTUS

futures and options that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Advisor, thus limiting the ability to implement the Fund’s strategies. Futures also are subject to leveraging risk and can be subject to liquidity risk. The Fund may invest in standard futures contracts, e-mini futures contracts, and micro e-mini futures contracts depending on the investment exposure needs of the Fund. E-mini futures contracts and micro e-mini futures contracts are similar to standard futures contracts, except that they are electronically traded and e-mini futures contracts generally are one-fifth the size of standard futures contracts and micro e-mini futures contracts generally are one-tenth the size of e-mini futures contracts.
Options 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 an investor to buy or sell an asset in the future at an agreed-upon price. Options also are used 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 or other instruments; and to adjust portfolio duration.
Options are subject to correlation risk. The writing and purchasing of options is a highly specialized activity as the successful use of options depends on the Advisor’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 positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Advisor, thus limiting the ability to implement the Fund's strategies. Options also are particularly subject to leverage risk and can be subject to liquidity risk. Because option premiums paid or received by the Fund are small in relation to the market value of the investments underlying the options, the Fund is exposed to the risk that buying and selling put and call options can be more speculative than investing directly in securities.
Written call options may be “covered” (i.e., the Fund as the seller owns or otherwise has or has an absolute and immediate right to acquire that security or instrument without additional cash consideration) or “uncovered” (i.e., the Fund as the seller does not have such exposure). Uncovered call writing can involve substantially greater exposure to risk than covered call writing, and the potential loss of uncovered call writing is unlimited.
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, 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 certain 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.
Early Closing Risk—The normal close of trading of securities listed on NASDAQ and the NYSE is 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time. Unanticipated early closings of securities exchanges and other financial markets, such as in response to certain trading halts triggered by circuit breakers, may result in the Fund’s inability to buy or sell securities or other financial instruments on that day. If an exchange or market closes early on a day when the Fund needs to execute a high volume of trades late in a trading day, the Fund might incur substantial trading losses.
Equity Securities Risk—The 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 or other conditions. Equity securities have sometimes experienced heightened volatility over recent periods and therefore, the Fund’s investments in equity securities are subject to heightened risks related to volatility. 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
PROSPECTUS | 107

preferred stockholders generally rank junior to payments due to a company’s debtholders. If the prices of the equity securities held by the Fund fall, the value of your investment in the Fund will be adversely affected. The Fund may lose a substantial part, or even all, of its investment in a company’s stock.
Foreign Issuer Exposure Risk—The Fund may invest in securities of foreign companies directly, or in financial instruments, such as ADRs and ETFs, that are indirectly linked to the performance of foreign issuers. Investing in foreign investments, including investing in foreign securities through ADRs and ETFs, involves certain special, additional and heightened risks that may result in losses to the Fund, including, but not limited to: (i) unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates; (ii) unfavorable changes in applicable law and regulations; (iii) adverse political (including geopolitical), social and economic developments; (iv) unreliable, untimely or less publicly available information and less transparency; (v) limited legal recourse; (vi) limited markets; (vii) higher operational expenses and increased transaction, custody and other costs; and (viii) illiquidity and increased volatility. These investments are subject to additional risks, including, but not limited to: differing reporting, accounting, and auditing standards; less investor protections and increased custody risk; nationalization, expropriations, or confiscations and other forms of government intervention, or confiscatory or additional taxation; delayed or infrequent settlement of transactions; foreign currency fluctuations, currency blockage, or replacement; potential for default on sovereign debt; local, regional and global economic volatility and market conditions; political, economic or social instability; or other diplomatic or geopoltical developments, which may include the threat or actual imposition of economic or trade sanctions, restrictions, tariffs or other measures by the U.S. or other governments and supranational organizations, changes in trade policies, or conflicts that may render holdings illiquid or even worthless.
When the United States is a significant trading partner of a foreign country in which the Fund may invest or to which the Fund may be exposed, such foreign country may be particularly sensitive to changes in U.S. foreign trading policies, including the threat or actual imposition of tariffs, sanctions or other similar measures. These risks are heightened in market conditions where global tension is rising and may even be higher in underdeveloped, emerging or frontier markets. The less developed a country’s securities market is, the greater the level of risks. The U.S. government may renegotiate some of its global trade relationships with foreign governments and may impose or threaten to impose significant tariffs. The threat or actual imposition of tariffs, trade restrictions, currency restrictions or similar actions (or retaliatory measures taken in response to such actions) could lead to price volatility and overall declines in the U.S. and global investment markets. The 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. The Fund will also be exposed to the risks associated with investing in foreign investments to the extent that the Fund invests in issuers with significant exposure (e.g., operations and businesses) to foreign countries and markets.
Economic sanctions or other similar measures may be, and have been, imposed against certain countries, organizations, companies, entities and/or individuals. Economic sanctions and other similar governmental actions or developments could, among other things, effectively restrict or eliminate the Fund’s ability to purchase or sell certain foreign securities or groups of foreign securities, and thus may make the Fund’s investments in such securities less liquid, less valuable or more difficult to value, or worthless. In addition, as a result of economic sanctions and other similar governmental actions or developments, the Fund may be forced to sell or otherwise dispose of foreign investments at inopportune times or prices. The type and severity of sanctions and other similar measures, including counter sanctions and other retaliatory actions, that have been enacted against Russia and other countries and that may be imposed in the future could vary broadly in scope, and their impact is difficult to accurately predict. For example, the threat or actual imposition of sanctions and other similar measures likely would, among other things, cause a decline in the value and/or liquidity of securities issued by the sanctioned country or companies located in or economically tied to the sanctioned country and increase market volatility and disruption in the sanctioned country and throughout the world. Sanctions and other similar measures could significantly delay or prevent the settlement of securities transactions or their valuation, and significantly impact the Fund’s liquidity and performance. Sanctions and other similar measures may be in place for a substantial period of time and enacted with limited advance notice.
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 and may pay income in foreign currencies. As a result, their values may be adversely affected by changes in the exchange rates between particular foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar (or another foreign currency) or by unfavorable currency regulations or restrictions on foreign exchange transactions imposed by foreign governments. If the Fund invests in securities issued by foreign issuers, the Fund may be subject to these risks even if the investment is denominated in U.S. dollars. This risk may be heightened with respect to issuers
108 | PROSPECTUS

whose revenues are principally earned in a foreign currency but whose debt obligations have been issued in U.S. dollars or other hard currencies. Furthermore, the Fund may lose money due to losses and/or expenses incurred in converting various currencies to purchase and sell securities valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, as well as from currency restrictions, exchange control regulation and/or governmental restrictions that limit or otherwise delay the Fund’s ability to convert currencies. Foreign investments may, as is the case with the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, be subject to the risks of seizure or other involvement by a foreign government, imposition of restrictions on the exchange or transport of foreign currency, and tax increases.
In addition, there may be less publicly available financial and other information 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 the 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 the Fund may at times be unable to sell its foreign investments at desirable prices. For the same reason, the 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 the Fund.
Increasing Government and Other Public Debt Risk—Government and other public debt can be adversely affected by large and sudden changes in local and global economic conditions that result in increased debt levels. Although high levels of government and other public debt do not necessarily indicate or cause economic problems, high levels of debt may create certain systemic risks if sound debt management practices are not implemented. A high debt level may increase market pressures to meet an issuer’s funding needs, which may increase borrowing costs and cause a government or public or municipal entity to issue additional debt, thereby increasing the risk of refinancing. A high debt level also raises concerns that the issuer may be unable or unwilling to repay the principal or interest on its debt, which may adversely impact instruments held by the Fund that rely on such payments. Extraordinary governmental and quasi-governmental responses to the economic, market, labor and public health conditions and U.S. and other government policies designed to support the markets may, at times, significantly increase government and other public debt, which heighten these risks and the long term consequences of these actions are not known. Unsustainable debt levels can decline the valuation of currencies, and can prevent a government from implementing effective counter-cyclical fiscal policy during economic downturns or lead to an increase in inflation or generate or contribute to an economic downturn. The foregoing developments and the associated risks can adversely impact a broad range of instruments and assets in which the Fund invests, including those that are not directly related to governmental or municipal issuers, and thus affect Fund performance and risks. Fiscal policies, government spending and deficit reduction plans may adversely affect U.S. and global economies and markets.
Industry Concentration Risk—The Fund may concentrate (i.e., invest more than 25% of its net assets) its investments in a limited number of issuers conducting business in the same industry or group of related industries. As a result, the Fund is more vulnerable to adverse market, economic, regulatory, political or other developments affecting such industry or group of industries than a fund that invests its assets more broadly. Such industry-based risks, any of which may adversely affect the Fund may include, but are not limited to, the following: general economic conditions or cyclical market patterns that could negatively affect supply and demand in a particular industry; competition for resources, adverse labor relations, political or world events; obsolescence of technologies; increased competition or new product introductions that may affect the profitability or viability of companies in an industry; legislative or regulatory changes; and increased government supervision. In addition, at times, an industry may be out of favor and underperform other industries or the market as a whole. For information about the industries to which the Fund has concentrated exposure, please see the Fund’s Summary section.
Interest Rate Risk—Fixed income and other debt instruments are subject to the possibility that interest rates could change (or are expected to change). Changes in interest rates (or the expectation of such changes) can be sudden and difficult to forecast and may adversely affect the Fund’s investments in these instruments, such as the value or liquidity of, and income generated by, the investments or increase risks associated with such investments, such as credit or default risks. Short-term and long-term interest rates do not necessarily move in the same amount or in the same direction. The impact of interest rate changes on fixed-income and other debt instruments depends on several factors, notably the instrument’s duration. 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
PROSPECTUS | 109

other characteristics. The value of a debt instrument with a longer duration will generally be more sensitive to interest rate changes than a similar instrument with a shorter duration. Similarly, the longer the average duration (whether positive or negative) of these instruments held by the Fund or to which the Fund is exposed (i.e., the longer the average portfolio duration of the Fund), the more the Fund’s share price will likely fluctuate in response to interest rate changes. 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.
However, measures such as duration may not accurately reflect the true interest rate sensitivity of instruments held by the Fund and, in turn, the Fund’s susceptibility to changes in interest rates. Certain fixed income and debt instruments are subject to the risk that the issuer may exercise its right to redeem (or call) the instrument earlier than anticipated. Although an issuer may call or a borrower may prepay an instrument for a variety of reasons, if an issuer does so during a time of declining interest rates, the Fund might have to reinvest the proceeds in an investment offering a lower yield or other less favorable features, and therefore might not benefit from any increase in value as a result of declining interest rates. Interest only or principal only securities and inverse floaters are particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates, which may impact the income generated by the security, its value, and other features of the security. The Fund may not be able to hedge against changes in interest rates or may choose not to do so for cost or other reasons. In addition, any hedges may not work as intended.
Instruments with variable or 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. Conversely, in a decreasing interest rate environment, these instruments will generally not increase in value and the Fund’s investment in instruments with floating interest rates may prevent the Fund from taking full advantage of decreasing interest rates in a timely manner. In addition, the income received from such instruments will likely be adversely affected by a decrease in interest rates.
Adjustable rate securities also react to interest rate changes in a similar manner as fixed-rate securities but generally to a lesser degree depending on the characteristics of the security, in particular its reset terms (i.e., the index chosen, frequency of reset and reset caps or floors). During periods of rising interest rates, because changes in interest rates on adjustable rate securities may lag behind changes in market rates, the value of such securities may decline until their interest rates reset to market rates. These securities also may be subject to limits on the maximum increase in interest rates. During periods of declining interest rates, because the interest rates on adjustable rate securities generally reset downward, their market value is unlikely to rise to the same extent as the value of comparable fixed rate securities. These securities may not be subject to limits on downward adjustments of interest rates.
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 the Fund’s investment in such securities and may prevent the Fund from receiving higher interest rates on proceeds reinvested in other instruments. Please refer to “Prepayment and Extension Risk” for additional information. During periods of falling interest rates, issuers of debt securities or asset-backed securities may pay off debts more quickly or earlier than expected, which could cause the Fund to be unable to recoup the full amount of its initial investment and/or cause the Fund to reinvest proceeds or matured, traded or called securities in lower-yielding securities, thereby reducing the Fund’s yield or otherwise adversely impacting the Fund. Please refer to “Prepayment and Extension Risk” below for additional information.
Certain debt instruments, such as instruments with a negative duration or inverse instruments, also are subject to interest rate risk, and may be adversely affected by changes in interest rates, although such instruments generally react differently to changes in interest rates than instruments with positive durations. For example, the values of instruments with negative durations, such as inverse floaters, generally decrease if interest rates decline. Certain fixed-income and debt instruments, including inverse floaters, interest only securities and principal only securities are especially sensitive to interest rate changes, which may affect the income flows these securities generate as well as their values. Certain of the Fund’s investments are subject to inflation risk. Please refer to “Inflation Risk” below for a summary of associated risks.
A wide variety of factors can cause interest rates or yields of fixed-income and other debt instruments to decline, including but not limited to central bank monetary policies, changing inflation or real growth rates, general economic conditions, increasing bond issuances or reduced market demand for low yielding investments. The U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Federal Reserve”) has decreased interest rates recently in response to moderated inflation rates. It is difficult to predict how long, and whether, the Federal Reserve’s current stance on interest rates will persist and the impact these actions will have on the economy and the Fund’s investments and the markets where the Fund trades.
110 | PROSPECTUS

Such actions may have unforeseen consequences and materially affect economic and market conditions, the Fund’s investments and the Fund’s performance. The Federal Reserve’s (and other central banks’) monetary policy is subject to change at any time and potentially frequently based on a variety of market and economic conditions. Actions by government and central banking authorities can result in increases or decreases in interest rates.
Changing Fixed Income Market Conditions—There is a risk that interest rates across the financial system may change, sometimes unpredictably or rapidly, as a result of a variety of factors, such as central bank monetary policies, inflation rates and general economic conditions. Historically high or low interest rates may magnify the Fund’s susceptibility to interest rate risk and diminish yield and performance (e.g., during periods of changing interest rates, issuers may be less willing or able to make principal and interest payments on debt securities or may make such payments earlier or later than anticipated; or during periods of very low or negative interest rates, the Fund may be unable to maintain positive returns).
Changes in fixed-income or related market conditions, including the potential for changes to interest rates, may expose fixed-income or related markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for Fund investments, which may be difficult to sell at favorable times or prices, causing the value of the Fund’s investments and NAV per share to decline. Changing interest rates (particularly a rise in general interest rates), also can result in increased redemptions from the Fund. Changing interest rates may also have unpredictable effects on securities markets in general, and may cause economic and financial instability, which would likely directly or indirectly impact the Fund’s investments, yield and performance. The impact on fixed income and debt instruments from interest rate changes, regardless of the cause, could be swift and significant, which could result in significant losses for the Fund.
Current Fixed Income and Debt Market Conditions—Fixed income and debt market conditions are highly unpredictable and some parts of the market are subject to dislocations. In response to the inflation rates in recent periods, governmental authorities have implemented significant fiscal and monetary policy changes, including changing interest rates. These actions present heightened risks, particularly to fixed-income and debt instruments, and such risks could be even further heightened if these actions are ineffective in achieving their desired outcomes or reversed. It is difficult to accurately predict changes in the Federal Reserve’s monetary policies and the effect of any such changes or policies. Certain economic conditions and market environments will expose fixed-income and debt instruments to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity, which can impact the Fund’s investments and may negatively impact the Fund’s characteristics, which in turn would impact performance or increase shareholder redemption.
Inflation Risk—Certain of the Fund’s investments are subject to inflation risk, which is the risk that the intrinsic value of assets or income from investments will be less in the future as inflation decreases the purchasing power and value of money (i.e., as inflation increases, the values of the Fund's assets can decline as can the value of the Fund’s distributions). Inflation rates may change frequently and significantly as a result of various factors, including unexpected shifts in the domestic or global economy and changes in monetary or economic policies (or expectations that these policies may change). Therefore, the income generated by debt securities may keep pace with inflation. The market price of fixed rate debt securities generally falls as inflation increases because the purchasing power of the future income and repaid principal is expected to be worth less when received by the Fund. The risk of inflation is greater for debt instruments with longer maturities and especially those that pay a fixed interest rate. Additionally, actions by governments and central banking authorities can result in changes in interest rates. Periods of higher inflation could cause such authorities to raise interest rates, and vice versa, which may adversely affect the Fund and its investments.
Certain of the Fund’s derivatives investments also may be adversely affected by changes in interest rates. For example, if the Fund is receiving a fixed rate payment stream, it will be adversely affected by rising interest rates and vice versa. In addition, rising interest rates may increase the costs associated with certain derivatives (e.g., interest paid for the use of margin proceeds) used to implement the Fund’s strategy. If the Fund invests in derivatives tied to fixed income or related markets, the Fund may be more substantially exposed to these risks than a fund that does not invest in such derivatives. To the extent the 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 the Fund’s portfolio also may be affected and the Fund could be required to sell holdings at disadvantageous times or prices in order to meet redemption obligations or other liquidity needs.
PROSPECTUS | 111

Investment in Investment Vehicles Risk—The Fund may purchase shares of investment companies, such as ETFs and other mutual funds, to gain exposure to a particular portion of the market while awaiting an opportunity to purchase securities directly or when such investments present a more cost-efficient alternative to investing directly in securities. When the Fund invests in an investment company, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, it will bear a pro rata portion of the investment company’s expenses. Further, in part because of these additional expenses, the performance of an investment company may differ from the performance the Fund would achieve if it invested directly in the underlying investments of the investment company. While the risks of owning shares of an investment company generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying investments of the investment company, the Fund may be subject to additional or different risks than if the Fund had invested directly in the underlying investments. For example, shares of an ETF are traded at market prices, which may vary from the NAV of its underlying investments. Also, the lack of liquidity in an ETF can contribute to the increased volatility of its value in comparison to the value of the underlying portfolio securities. In addition, the Fund may invest in investment companies or other pooled investment vehicles that are not registered pursuant to the 1940 Act and therefore, not subject to the regulatory scheme of the 1940 Act.
Exchange-Traded Fund (“ETF”) Risk—The Fund may invest in shares of ETFs in pursuit of its investment objective. ETFs are pooled investment vehicles, which may be managed or unmanaged, that generally seek to track the performance of a specific index. Although individual shares of an ETF are traded on an exchange (such as the NYSE or NASDAQ), large blocks of shares of ETFs are redeemable at NAV. This ability to redeem large blocks of shares has historically resulted in the market price of individual shares of ETFs being at or near the NAV of the ETF’s underlying investments. However, shares of ETFs may trade below their NAV. The NAV of shares will fluctuate with changes in the market value of the ETF’s holdings. The trading prices of shares will fluctuate in accordance with changes in NAV as well as market supply and demand. The difference between the bid price and ask price, commonly referred to as the “spread,” also will vary for an ETF depending on the ETF’s trading volume and market liquidity. Generally, the greater the trading volume and market liquidity, the smaller the spread is and vice versa. Any of these factors may lead to an ETF’s shares trading at a premium or a discount to NAV. The Fund, from time to time, may invest in exchange-traded investment funds that are not registered pursuant to the 1940 Act. Such exchange-traded investment funds may include commodity pools that are registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 and the Commodity Exchange Act.
Large-Capitalization Securities Risk—The Fund may be subject to the risk that large-capitalization securities may underperform, or outperform, if the Fund has net short exposure to large-capitalization securities, 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.
Leveraging Risk—The Fund achieves leveraged exposure to its underlying index through the use of derivative instruments. The more the Fund invests in derivative instruments that give rise to leverage, the more this leverage will magnify any losses on those investments. Leverage will cause the value of the Fund’s shares to be more volatile than if the Fund did not use leverage. This is because leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities or other investments. For example, because the Fund includes a multiplier (i.e., 2x or -2x), a single day adverse price movement of more than 50% in a relevant underlying index could result in the total loss of an investor’s investment. The use of leverage also may cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it would not be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations or to meet margin or collateral requirements. Certain types of leveraging transactions, such as short sales that are not “against the box,” could theoretically be subject to unlimited losses in cases where the Fund, for any reason, is unable to close out the transaction. In addition, to the extent the Fund borrows money, interest costs on such borrowed money may not be recovered by any appreciation of the securities purchased with the borrowed funds and could exceed the Fund’s investment income, resulting in greater losses. The value of the Fund’s shares will tend to increase or decrease more than the value of any increase or decrease in its underlying index due to the fact that the Fund’s investment strategies involve the use of leverage. Leverage also will have the effect of magnifying tracking error.
Liquidity and Valuation Risk—It may be difficult for the Fund to purchase and sell particular investments to meet redemption requests or otherwise within a reasonable time at a favorable price or at all. As a result, the Fund may be unable to achieve its desired level of exposure to certain issuers, asset classes or sectors. The Fund may be adversely affected by market illiquidity. Limited market making and capacity of market participants in certain securities and instruments and/or market dislocations, in particular for fixed-income and other debt instruments may increase liquidity risk. These factors may apply more to high yield and floating rate debt instruments than higher
112 | PROSPECTUS

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 leads to decreased liquidity and increased volatility in the financial markets. As a result, the Fund potentially may 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. The Fund’s ability to sell an instrument under favorable conditions also may be negatively impacted by, among other things, a drop in overall market trading volume, an inability to find a willing buyer, other market participants selling the same or similar instruments at the same time or legal restrictions on the instrument’s resale. If the Fund is unable to sell an investment at its desired time, the Fund may also miss other investment opportunities while it holds investments it would prefer to sell, which could adversely affect the Fund’s performance. In addition, the liquidity of any Fund investment may change significantly or disappear over time as a result of market, economic, trading, issuer-specific and other factors. Liquid investments may become illiquid after purchase by the Fund, particularly during periods of market turmoil, adverse economic conditions or issuer-specific developments. There can be no assurance that a security or instrument that is deemed to be liquid when purchased will continue to be liquid for as long as it is held by the Fund. Dislocations in markets often result in reduced liquidity for investments. Liquidity of financial markets is also affected by government intervention and political, social, public health, economic or market developments (including rapid interest rate changes).
To the extent that there is not an established liquid market for instruments in which the Fund invests, or there is a reduced number or capacity of 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 the Fund’s portfolio, the ability of the Fund to assign an accurate daily value to these investments may be difficult and the Advisor 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 Fund’s fair valuation policy and procedures and the Advisor’s fair valuation policy and procedures will in fact approximate the price at which the 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 Fund (or the Advisor) rely on various sources of information to value investments and calculate NAV. The Fund 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 Fund’s ability to effectively value investments or calculate NAV may be adversely affected.
Investors who purchase or redeem shares of the 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. If the Fund holds a significant percentage of fair valued or otherwise difficult to value securities, the Fund may be particularly susceptible to the risks associated with valuation. For additional information about valuation determinations, see “Shareholder Information – Calculating Net Asset Value” and the Fund’s report on Form N-CSR. Proportions of the Fund’s investments that are fair valued or difficult to value vary from time to time. In addition, during periods of market stress, a large portion of the Fund’s assets could potentially experience significant levels of illiquidity. The Fund’s financial statements and notes thereto contain more information about the Fund’s holdings that are fair valued or difficult to value. Investors should consider consulting these reports for additional information. Liquidity and valuation risks are heightened in a changing interest rate environment, particularly for fixed-income and other debt instruments.
Market Risk—The value of, or income generated by, the investments held by the Fund are subject to the possibility of frequent, significant, rapid and/or unpredictable fluctuation and loss. These fluctuations may occur frequently and in large amounts. The value of certain asset classes (e.g., those traded on exchanges) tends to fluctuate more dramatically over the shorter term than the value of other asset classes. These movements may result from factors affecting (or that are perceived to affect) individual companies or issuers or particular industries, or from broader influences, including real or perceived changes in prevailing interest rates, changes in inflation rates or expectations about inflation rates, deflation, adverse investor confidence or sentiment, general outlook for corporate earnings, changing economic, political (including geopolitical), social or financial market conditions, bank failures, actual or threatened imposition of tariffs (which may be imposed by U.S. and foreign governments) and trade disruptions, recession, changes in currency and inflation rates, increased instability or general uncertainty, environmental or natural disasters, extreme weather or geological events, governmental actions, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), debt crises, terrorism, actual or threatened wars or other armed conflicts (such as the armed conflicts across the Middle East and ongoing Russia-Ukraine war in
PROSPECTUS | 113

Europe, and the risk of expansion or collateral economic and other effects thereof) or ratings downgrades, technological developments (including those related to artificial intelligence) or failures (for example, widespread system outages or disruptions or faulty updates to software applications) and other similar events, each of which may be temporary or last for extended periods. For example, the threat or actual imposition of tariffs, trade restrictions, currency restrictions or similar actions (or retaliatory measures taken in response to such actions) could adversely affect the Fund’s investments, including by leading to price volatility, overall declines in the U.S. and global investment markets, reduced liquidity and investment losses. During a general downturn in the securities markets or economies, multiple asset classes may decline in value simultaneously even if the performance of those asset classes is not otherwise historically correlated.
Moreover, changing economic, political, geopolitical, social, technological, financial market or other conditions in one country or geographic region could adversely affect the value, yield and return of the investments held by the Fund in a different country or geographic region and economies, markets and issuers generally because of the increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets. As a result, there is an increased risk that these and other events will disrupt economies and markets globally. For example, local or regional armed conflicts (notably the Russia-Ukraine war and conflicts in the Middle East) have led to significant sanctions by the United States, Europe and other countries against certain countries (as well as persons and companies connected with certain countries) and have led to indirect adverse regional and global market, economic and other effects. It is difficult to accurately predict or foresee when events or conditions affecting the U.S. or global financial markets, economies, and issuers may occur, the effects of such events or conditions, potential escalations or expansions of these events, possible retaliations in response to sanctions or similar actions and the duration or ultimate impact of those events. There is an increased likelihood that these types of events or conditions can, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, result in a variety of adverse developments and circumstances, such as reduced liquidity, supply chain disruptions and market volatility, as well as increased general uncertainty and broad ramifications for markets, economies, issuers, businesses in many sectors and societies globally. In addition, adverse changes in one sector or industry or with respect to a particular company could negatively impact companies in other sectors or industries or increase market volatility as a result of the interconnected nature of economies and markets and thus negatively affect the Fund’s performance, even if the Fund does not invest directly in issuers that participate in the sectors or industries experiencing such types of change. These types of adverse developments could result from under-regulated markets, novel and maturing markets (for example, the markets for artificial intelligence, cryptocurrencies and digital or blockchain assets and technologies), systemic risk, natural market forces, bad actors or other scenarios and negatively affect the Fund’s performance or operations. For example, developments in the banking or financial services sectors (or one or more companies operating in these sectors) could adversely impact a wide range of companies and issuers, resulting in systemic adverse consequences across a broad segment of financial markets and economies (regionally, domestically and globally) in unanticipated or unforeseen ways.
Similarly, the increasingly widespread use of artificial intelligence by issuers and market participants and investments in such technologies by issuers may significantly impact the economy, financial markets and issuers. In addition, the increased prevalence and acceptance of cryptocurrencies and digital assets throughout the economy and financial markets may also significantly impact the investments made by the Fund, even indirectly. For example, issuers that engage in artificial intelligence-related businesses or simply increasingly use these technologies are particularly susceptible to the risks associated with artificial intelligence and its rapid and unpredictable evolution, including (but not limited to) market and business risks, technology and product risks, cybersecurity and data security risks, and intellectual property risks. Similarly, issuers that engage in cryptocurrency, digital assets-related businesses or blockchain technology or otherwise have exposure to cryptocurrencies or digital assets are particularly susceptible to the risks associated with cryptocurrencies or digital or blockchain assets and technologies, including (but not limited to) potential fraud and market manipulation, extreme market volatility, theft, losses related to cyberincidents, confidence in and development of these markets, or related errors. In addition, the prices of securities issued by companies in these market segments are subject to increased volatility, changes in the regulatory environment and risks associated with changes in investor sentiment. As a result, the Fund may be adversely affected by developments impacting these issuers.
Different sectors, industries and security types may go through different cycles of under-performance and out-performance and therefore react differently to the types of adverse developments discussed above, and when the market performs well, there is no assurance that the Fund’s investments will increase in value along with the broader markets. The Fund’s investments may underperform general securities markets or other investments, particularly during such periods. For example, the value of the 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. Periods of market stress and volatility of financial markets, including potentially
114 | PROSPECTUS

extreme stress and volatility caused by the events described above or similar circumstances, can expose the Fund to greater market risk than normal, possibly resulting in greatly reduced liquidity, increased volatility and valuation risks, lower than usual sale prices and longer than usual trade settlement periods. The fewer the number of issuers in which the Fund invests and/or the greater the use of leverage, the greater the potential volatility in the Fund’s portfolio. In addition, liquidity and sales challenges can be exacerbated by large Fund redemptions, which often result from or are related to market or other similar disruptions. The Advisor potentially will be prevented from considering, managing and executing investment decisions at an advantageous time or price or at all as a result of any domestic or global market or other disruptions, particularly disruptions causing heightened market volatility and reduced market liquidity, which have in the past and could in the future result in impediments to the normal functioning of workforces, including personnel and systems of the Fund’s service providers and market intermediaries.
The domestic political environment, as well as political and diplomatic events within the United States and abroad, such as the U.S. budget and deficit reduction plan, including related agency or departmental actions and uncertainty related to the debt ceiling, and foreign policy tensions with foreign nations, including embargoes, tariffs, sanctions, trade wars, and other similar initiatives or developments, has in the past resulted, and may in the future result, in developments that present additional risks to the Fund’s investments and operations. For example, U.S. federal government shutdowns, U.S. foreign policy, the actual or threatened imposition of tariffs, deficit levels and any reduction plans and other federal government initiatives, or U.S. economic policies and any related domestic and/or geopolitical tensions may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree. Market, economic and other disruptions could also prevent the Fund from executing its investment strategies and processes in a timely manner. As an additional example, when the United States is a significant trading partner of a foreign country in which the Fund may invest or be exposed to, such foreign country may be particularly sensitive to changes in U.S. foreign trading policies, including the institution of additional tariffs. Changes or disruptions in market conditions also may lead to increased regulation of the Fund and the instruments in which the Fund may invest, which may, in turn, affect the Fund’s ability to pursue its investment objective and the Fund’s performance. Legislation and regulation can also change the ways in which the Fund or the Advisor are regulated. In general, the securities or other instruments in which the Fund’s portfolio managers believe represent an attractive investment opportunity or in which the Fund seeks to invest may be unavailable entirely or in the specific quantities sought by the Fund. As a result, the 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 the Fund. In addition, many economies and markets may experience, and have experienced in recent periods, high inflation rates. In response to such inflation, governmental and quasi-governmental authorities have in the past implemented, and may implement in the future, significant fiscal and monetary policies, such as increasing interest rates and quantitative tightening (reduction of money available in the market), which may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy, as well as the Fund’s performance. Monetary and/or fiscal actions taken by U.S. or foreign governments may not be effective and could lead to increased market volatility and adverse economic conditions. An unexpected or sudden reversal of these policies, or the ineffectiveness of these policies, could increase volatility in securities markets and have other downstream impacts on financial markets and economic conditions and, thus, the Fund’s investments. The frequency and magnitude of the resulting changes in the value of the Fund’s investments cannot be predicted.
Mid-Capitalization Securities Risk—The Fund may be subject to the risk that mid-capitalization securities may underperform, or outperform, if the Fund has net short exposure to mid-capitalization securities, 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 the Fund to sell mid-capitalization securities at a desired time or price. In addition, mid-capitalization companies may 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—To the extent that the Fund invests a significant percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers, the Fund is subject to the risks of investing in those few issuers, and may be more susceptible to a single adverse economic or regulatory occurrence. As a result, changes in the market value of a single issuer's securities could cause greater fluctuations in the value of Fund shares than would occur in a diversified fund.
PROSPECTUS | 115

OTC Trading Risk—Certain of the derivatives in which the Fund invests may be traded (and privately negotiated) in the OTC market. While the OTC derivatives market is the primary trading venue for many derivatives, it is largely unregulated and lacks transparency with respect to the terms of OTC transactions. 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 the Fund. In addition, such derivative instruments are often highly customized and tailored to meet the needs of the counterparties. If a derivatives 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, the Fund is subject to counterparty credit risk with respect to such derivatives contracts.
Passive Investment Risk—The Fund is not actively managed and may be affected by a general decline in market segments or rise in market segments for the Inverse S&P 500® 2x Strategy Fund, Inverse NASDAQ-100® 2x Strategy Fund, Inverse Dow 2x Strategy Fund and Inverse Russell 2000® 2x Strategy Fund, relating to its underlying index. The Fund invests in securities included in, or representative of, its underlying index regardless of their investment merits. The Advisor does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining or rising markets, as applicable. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater losses in a declining market (or rising market for the Inverse S&P 500® 2x Strategy Fund, Inverse NASDAQ-100® 2x Strategy Fund, Inverse Dow 2x Strategy Fund and Inverse Russell 2000® 2x Strategy Fund) than a fund that does take defensive positions.
Portfolio Turnover Risk—The periodic rebalancing of the Fund’s holdings pursuant to its daily investment objective may lead to a greater number of portfolio transactions in the Fund than experienced by other mutual funds. Such frequent and active trading may lead to significantly higher transaction costs for the Fund because of increased broker commissions associated with such transactions. The Fund calculates portfolio turnover without including the short-term cash instruments or derivatives transactions that comprise the majority of the Fund’s trading. As such, if the Fund’s extensive use of derivative instruments were reflected, the calculated portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher. Portfolio turnover may cause the Fund’s performance to be less than you expect.
Prepayment and Extension Risk—The issuers of securities held by the Fund or investment companies in which the Fund invests 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. Prepayment risk is a major risk of mortgage-backed securities and certain asset-backed securities.
Most floating rate loans (such as syndicated bank loans) and debt 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 securities purchased to replace a prepaid corporate loan or security may have lower yields than the yield on the prepaid corporate loan.
Certain debt instruments, including mortgage- and other asset-backed securities, are subject to the risk that payments on principal may occur at a slower rate or later than expected. In this event, the expected maturity could lengthen as short or intermediate-term instruments become longer-term instruments, which would make the investment more sensitive to changes in interest rates. The likelihood that payments on principal will occur at a slower rate or later than expected is heightened in market environments where interest rates are higher or rising. In addition, the Fund’s investment may sharply decrease in value and the Fund’s income from the investment may quickly decline. These types of instruments are particularly subject to extension risk, and offer less potential for gains, during periods of rising interest rates. In addition, the Fund may be delayed in its ability to reinvest income or proceeds from these instruments in potentially higher yielding investments, which would adversely affect the Fund to the extent its investments are in lower interest rate debt instruments. Thus, changes in interest rates may cause volatility in the value of and income received from these types of debt instruments.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) 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 and may be more volatile and/or less liquid than other types of securities. REITs are dependent upon management skills, are not diversified, are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, default by borrowers and self-liquidation. REITs (especially mortgage REITs) also are subject to interest rate and prepayment risks. When interest rates decline, the value of a REIT’s investment in fixed-rate obligations can be expected to rise. Conversely, when interest rates rise, the value of a REIT’s investment in fixed-rate obligations can be expected to decline. Mortgage REITs may be affected by the quality of any credit extended to them. The value of an equity REIT
116 | PROSPECTUS

may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying property, while a mortgage REIT may be affected by the quality of the credit extended. The performance of both types of REITs depends upon conditions in the real estate industry, management skills and the amount of cash flow.
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. U.S. REITs also are subject to unique federal tax requirements. A U.S. REIT that fails to comply with federal income 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 the Fund from a REIT generally will not constitute qualified dividend income.
REITs often do not provide complete tax information to the Fund until after the calendar year-end. Consequently, because of the delay, it may be necessary for the Fund to request permission from the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") to extend the deadline for issuance of Forms 1099-DIV.
Redemption Risk—The Fund may need to sell a significant amount of portfolio securities or other assets to meet redemption requests. The Fund could incur considerable losses when selling portfolio securities or other assets to meet redemption requests if, among other reasons, (i) there is significant redemption activity by shareholders, including, for example, when a single investor, a few large investors, or many investors redeem a significant amount of the Fund’s shares, (ii) there is a disruption in the normal operation of the markets in which the Fund buys and sells portfolio securities or other assets and/or (iii) the Fund is unable to sell portfolio securities or other assets at a favorable time or price because such assets are less liquid or illiquid. In such events, the Fund could be forced to sell portfolio securities or other assets at unfavorable prices, including potential highly unfavorable prices, in an effort to generate sufficient cash to pay redeeming shareholders. The Fund may suspend redemptions or the payment of redemption proceeds when permitted by applicable regulations.
Regulatory and Legal Risk—The Fund’s activities may be limited or restricted because of laws and regulations applicable to the Fund or the Advisor. U.S. and non-U.S. governmental agencies and other regulators regularly implement additional regulations (or amend or change existing 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 applicable to the Fund (such as regulations related to the use of derivatives and other transactions). These regulations and laws may impact the performance, costs and operations of the Fund, as well as the way investments in, and shareholders of, the Fund are taxed. For example, the SEC has adopted amendments to its rule regarding names of registered investment companies, such as the Fund. The full impact of the rule amendments on the Fund is uncertain and under assessment.
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 the Fund or, in the case of a reverse repurchase agreement, the securities or other assets sold by the 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 or other assets 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 or other assets sold by the Fund exceeds the repurchase price payable by the Fund; if the value of the purchased securities or other assets increases during such a delay, that loss may also be increased. When the Fund enters into a reverse repurchase agreement, any fluctuations in the market value of either the securities or other assets transferred to another party or the securities or other assets in which the proceeds may be invested would affect the market value of the Fund’s assets. As a result,
PROSPECTUS | 117

such transactions may increase fluctuations in the NAV of the 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 the 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.
Sector Risk—The Fund is subject to one or more of the Sector Risks described below. For information about the specific Sector Risk applicable to the Fund, please see the Fund's Summary section.
Communication Services Sector Risk—The risk that the securities of, or financial instruments tied to the performance of, issuers in the Communication Services Sector that the Fund purchases will underperform the market as a whole. To the extent that the Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Communication Services Sector ("Communication Services Companies"), the Fund is subject to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Communication Services Sector. The performance of Communication Services Companies has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall economy, and also is affected by economic growth, consumer confidence, attitudes and spending. Increased sensitivity to short product cycles and aggressive pricing, challenges in bringing products to market and changes in demographics and consumer tastes also can affect the demand for, and success of, communication services products and services in the marketplace.
Consumer Discretionary Sector Risk—The risk that the securities of, or financial instruments tied to the performance of, issuers in the Consumer Discretionary Sector that the Fund purchases will underperform the market as a whole. To the extent that the Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Consumer Discretionary Sector ("Consumer Discretionary Companies"), the Fund is subject to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Consumer Discretionary Sector. The performance of Consumer Discretionary Companies has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall economy, and may be widely affected by interest rates, competition, consumer confidence and relative levels of disposable household income and seasonal consumer spending. Changes in demographics and consumer tastes also can affect the demand for, and success of, consumer products and services in the marketplace. In addition, Consumer Discretionary Companies may be adversely affected and lose value more quickly in periods of economic downturns. The products offered by Consumer Discretionary Companies may be viewed as luxury items during times of economic downturn.
Consumer Staples Sector Risk—The risk that the securities of, or financial instruments tied to the performance of, issuers in the Consumer Staples Sector that the Fund purchases will underperform the market as a whole. To the extent that the Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Consumer Staples Sector ("Consumer Staples Companies"), the Fund is subject to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Consumer Staples Sector. The performance of Consumer Staples Companies has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall economy, and may fluctuate widely due to interest rates, competition, consumer confidence and relative levels of disposable household income and seasonal consumer spending. The performance of Consumer Staples Companies are subject to government regulations, such as those affecting the permissibility of using various food additives and production methods, which could affect company profitability. Tobacco companies may be adversely affected by the adoption of proposed legislation and/or by litigation. Also, the success of food and soft drinks may be strongly affected by fads, marketing campaigns and other factors affecting supply and demand.
Energy Sector RiskThe risk that the securities of, or financial instruments tied to the performance of, issuers in the Energy Sector that the Fund purchases will underperform the market as a whole either by declining in value or failing to perform as well. To the extent that the Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Energy Sector ("Energy Companies"), the Fund is subject to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Energy Sector. The prices of the securities of Energy Companies may fluctuate widely due to the supply and demand both for their specific products or services and for energy products in general, the price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, governmental regulation and environmental issues, and world events and economic conditions
118 | PROSPECTUS

generally affecting energy supply companies. The prices of the securities of Energy Companies also may fluctuate widely due to changes in value and dividend yield, which depend largely on the price and supply of energy resources, international political events relating to oil producing countries, energy conservation, the success of exploration projects, and tax and other governmental regulatory policies.
Financials Sector Risk—The risk that the securities of, or financial instruments tied to the performance of, issuers in the Financials Sector that the Fund purchases will underperform the market as a whole. To the extent the Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Financials Sector ("Financials Companies"), the Fund is subject to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Financials Sector. Financials Companies are subject to extensive governmental regulation which may limit both the amounts and types of loans and other financial commitments they can make, and the interest rates and fees they can charge. 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. In addition, the deterioration of the credit markets generally may cause an adverse impact in a broad range of markets, including U.S. and international credit and interbank money markets generally, thereby affecting a wide range of financial institutions and markets. Events affecting the Financials Sector in the recent past resulted in an unusually high degree of volatility in the financial markets, both domestic and foreign, and caused certain Financials Companies to incur large losses. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers and financial losses associated with investment activities can negatively impact the sector. Insurance companies also may be subject to severe price competition.
Health Care Sector Risk—The risk that the securities of, or financial instruments tied to the performance of, issuers in the Health Care Sector that the Fund purchases will underperform the market as a whole. To the extent that the Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Health Care Sector ("Health Care Companies"), the Fund is subject to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Health Care Sector. The prices of the securities of Health Care Companies may fluctuate widely due to government regulation and approval of products and services, which can have a significant effect on price and availability. Furthermore, the types of products or services produced or provided by Health Care Companies may quickly become obsolete. Moreover, liability for products that are later alleged to be harmful or unsafe may be substantial and may have a significant impact on a Health Care Company’s market value and/or share price.
Industrials Sector Risk—The risk that the securities of, or financial instruments tied to the performance of, issuers in the Industrials Sector that the Fund purchases will underperform the market as a whole. To the extent that the Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Industrials Sector ("Industrials Companies"), the Fund is subject to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Industrials Sector. The prices of the securities of Industrials Companies may fluctuate widely due to the level and volatility of commodity prices, the exchange value of the dollar, import controls, worldwide competition, liability for environmental damage, depletion of resources, and mandated expenditures for safety and pollution control devices. Further, the prices of securities of Industrials Companies, specifically transportation companies, may fluctuate widely due to their cyclical nature, occasional sharp price movements that may result from changes in the economy, fuel prices, labor agreement, and insurance costs, the recent trend of government deregulation, and increased competition from foreign companies, many of which are partially funded by foreign governments and which may be less sensitive to short-term economic pressures.
Information Technology Sector Risk—The risk that the securities of, or financial instruments tied to the performance of, issuers in the Information Technology Sector that the Fund purchases will underperform the market as a whole. To the extent that the Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Information Technology Sector (“Information Technology Companies”), the Fund is subject to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Information Technology Sector. The prices of the securities of Information Technology Companies may fluctuate widely due to competitive pressures, increased sensitivity to short product cycles and aggressive pricing, problems relating to bringing their products to market, very high price/earnings ratios, and high personnel turnover due to severe labor shortages for skilled technology professionals. In addition, a rising interest rate environment tends to negatively affect companies in the technology sector because, in such an environment, those companies with high market valuations may appear less attractive to investors, which may cause sharp decreases in the companies’ market prices. Companies in the technology sector are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights. The loss or impairment of these rights may adversely affect the profitability of these
PROSPECTUS | 119

companies. The technology sector also may be adversely affected by changes or trends in commodity prices, which may be influenced or characterized by unpredictable factors. Finally, while all companies may be susceptible to network security breaches, certain companies in the technology sector may be particular targets of hacking and potential theft of proprietary or consumer information or disruptions in service, which could have a material adverse effect on their businesses.
Materials Sector RiskThe risk that the securities of, or financial instruments tied to the performance of, issuers in the Materials Sector that the Fund purchases will underperform the market as a whole. To the extent that the Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Materials Sector ("Materials Sector Companies"), the Fund is subject to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Materials Sector. The prices of the securities of Materials Companies may fluctuate widely due to the level and volatility of commodity prices, the exchange value of the U.S. dollar, import controls, worldwide competition, liability for environmental damage, depletion of resources, and mandated expenditures for safety and pollution control devices.
Real Estate Sector Risk—The Fund invests in the securities of real estate companies, including REITs. The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of real estate companies that the Fund purchases will underperform the market as a whole. To the extent that the Fund’s investments are exposed to issuers conducting their business in the Real Estate Sector ("Real Estate Companies"), the Fund is subject to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Real Estate Sector. Investments in Real Estate Companies also may subject the Fund to the risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate. The general performance of the real estate industry has historically been cyclical and particularly sensitive to economic downturns. Changes in prevailing real estate values and rental income, interest rates and changing demographics may affect the value of securities of issuers in the real estate industry. As the demand for, or prices of, real estate increase, the value of the Fund’s investments generally would be expected to also increase. Conversely, declines in the demand for, or prices of, real estate generally would be expected to contribute to declines in the value of the real estate market and REITs. Such declines may occur quickly and without warning and may negatively impact the value of the Fund and your investment. For more information regarding the potential risks of investing in REITs, please see “Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) Risk” above.
Securities Lending Risk—Securities lending involves the lending of portfolio securities owned by the 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 the Fund. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy of the borrower or lending agent, the Fund could experience losses or delays in recovering the loaned securities or foreclosing on collateral. In some cases, these risks may be mitigated by an indemnification provided by the Fund’s lending agent. When lending portfolio securities, the Fund initially will require the borrower to provide the Fund with collateral, most commonly cash, which the Fund will invest. Although the Fund invests cash 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. To the extent a borrower pledges non-cash collateral, the Fund will earn lending fees paid by the borrower through the lending agent. It is possible that, should the Fund’s lending agent experience financial difficulties or bankruptcy, the Fund may not receive the fees it is owed.
Shareholder Trading Risk—The Advisor expects a significant portion of the Fund’s assets to come from investors who take part in certain strategic and tactical asset allocation programs that involve frequent trading to take advantage of anticipated changes in market conditions. Frequent trading could increase the rate of the Fund’s portfolio turnover, which correspondingly may increase the transaction expenses borne by the Fund, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups/markdowns and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities. The trading costs associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect the Fund’s performance. In addition, large movements of assets into and out of the Fund may have a negative impact on its ability to achieve its investment objective or its desired level of operating expenses. The risks associated with frequent trading activity and high portfolio turnover will have a negative impact on longer-term investments.
Short Sales 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 involves the use of derivatives (such as options and swaps) to gain exposure to a short position without having to borrow the security. A short exposure exposes the Fund to counterparty credit and leverage risks. The loss on a short sale or other short exposure, which, in some cases, may
120 | PROSPECTUS

be theoretically unlimited, may be greater than a direct investment in the security itself because the price of the borrowed or referenced security may rise, thereby increasing the price at which the security must be purchased or the settlement price of the short exposure contract. The 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 the Fund may have to buy the borrowed securities at an unfavorable price, resulting in a loss. Short sales also subject the 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 use of short sales may cause the 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 Fund’s ability to engage in short selling. The use of physical short sales is typically more expensive than gaining short exposure through derivatives.
Small-Capitalization Securities Risk—The Fund may be subject to the risk that small-capitalization securities may underperform, or outperform, if the Fund has net short exposure to small-capitalization securities, 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 the 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.
Special Situation Investments/Securities in Default Risk—Investments in the securities and debt of distressed issuers or issuers in default (“Special Situation Investments”) involve a far greater level of risk than investing in issuers whose debt obligations are being met and whose debt trades at or close to its “par” or full value. While offering an opportunity for capital appreciation, Special Situation Investments are highly speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to make interest payments and/or to pay its principal obligations in full and/or on time. Special Situation Investments can be very difficult to properly value, making them susceptible to a high degree of price volatility and potentially rendering them less liquid than performing debt obligations. Those Special Situation Investments involved in a bankruptcy proceeding can be subject to a high degree of uncertainty with regard to both the timing and the amount of the ultimate settlement. Special Situation Investments may include debtor-in-possession financing, sub-performing real estate loans and mortgages, privately placed senior, mezzanine, subordinated and junior debt, letters of credit, trade claims, convertible bonds, and preferred and common stocks. The risks of Special Situation Investments are heightened under current conditions.
Tracking Error Risk—The Advisor may not be able to cause the Fund’s performance to match that of the Fund’s benchmark, either on a daily or aggregate basis. Factors such as Fund expenses, imperfect correlation between the Fund’s investments and those of its underlying index, rounding of share prices, changes to the composition of the underlying index, regulatory policies, high portfolio turnover rate, and the use of leverage all contribute to tracking error. Tracking error may cause the Fund’s performance to be less than you expect. In addition, because the Fund is tracking the performance of its benchmark on a daily basis, mathematical compounding may prevent the Fund from correlating with the monthly, quarterly, annual or other period performance of its benchmark. Tracking error may cause the Fund’s performance to be less than you expect.
Trading Halt Risk—The Fund typically will hold futures contracts and short-term options. The major exchanges on which these contracts are traded, such as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, have established limits on how much the trading price of a futures contract or option may decline over various time periods within a day, and may halt trading in a contract that exceeds such limits. In addition, the major securities exchanges, such as the NYSE, have established limits on how much the securities market, based on the Dow Jones Industrial Average®, may decline over various time periods within a day. If the price of a security, a futures contract or an option declines more than the established limits, trading on the exchange is halted on that instrument. If a trading halt occurs, the Fund may temporarily be unable to purchase or sell the futures contracts, options or securities that are the subject of the trading halt. Such a trading halt near the time the Fund prices its shares may limit the Fund’s ability to use leverage and fully invest its assets, which could increase tracking error and adversely affect performance, and may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. In such an event, the Fund also may be required to use a “fair value” method to price its outstanding contracts or securities. 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 Fund’s valuation procedures will in fact approximate the price at which the 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).
PROSPECTUS | 121

U.S. Government Securities Risk—U.S. government securities are subject to market and interest rate risk, as well as varying degrees of credit 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 (“GSE”); (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 and, thus, are subject to greater credit risk than other types of U.S. government securities. The value of U.S. government obligations may be adversely affected by changes in interest rates. There is no guarantee that the U.S. government will provide support to its agencies and GSEs if they are unable to meet their obligations. In addition, it is possible that the issuers of some U.S. government securities will not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future and there is a risk of default. Also, circumstances could arise in which U.S. government securities, including U.S. treasury securities that are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, experience increased credit risk (including increased risk of default) and reduced market liquidity (which may result in such securities becoming less liquid or illiquid). The long-term credit rating of the U.S. government may be downgraded by major rating agencies due to, among other things, an actual or expected fiscal deterioration, a high and growing government debt burden and an erosion governance relative to peers, which would adversely affect investments in U.S. government securities.

Management of the Funds
INVESTMENT ADVISOR
Security Investors, LLC, located at 330 Madison Avenue, 10th Floor, New York, New York 10017, serves as the investment adviser to each of the Funds. The Advisor, which is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Guggenheim Capital, LLC and an affiliate of Guggenheim Partners, LLC, is a registered investment adviser and a registered commodity pool operator. The Advisor has served as the investment adviser of each Fund since its inception.
The Advisor makes investment decisions for the assets of the Funds and continuously reviews, supervises, and administers each Fund’s investment program. The Board of Trustees of the Trust supervises the Advisor and establishes policies that the Advisor must follow in its day-to-day management activities. Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement between the Trust and the Advisor, each Fund paid the Advisor a fee at an annualized rate for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, based on the average daily net assets of the Fund, as set forth below:

For each Fund, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse the Fund’s expenses in an amount equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, such amount to be calculated daily and any reimbursement due to be paid no less frequently than monthly. This fee waiver will be honored by the Advisor through August 1, 2027 and shall automatically renew for one-year terms unless the Advisor provides written notice to a Fund of the termination of the agreement. The agreement may be terminated at any time by the Funds’ Board of Trustees. In any event, this undertaking will continue for at least twelve months from the date of this Prospectus.
In addition to the contractual waiver and/or reimbursement arrangement discussed above, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse each Fund’s expenses in an additional amount equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, such amount to be calculated daily and any reimbursement due to be paid no less frequently than monthly. This fee waiver will be honored by the Advisor through August 1, 2027 and shall automatically renew for one-year terms unless the Advisor provides written notice to a Fund of the termination of the agreement. The agreement may be terminated at any time by the Funds’ Board of Trustees. In any event, this undertaking will continue for at least twelve months from the date of this Prospectus.
For the NASDAQ-100® 2x Strategy Fund, the Advisor also has contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse the Fund’s expenses in an amount equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets in excess of $500,000,000, such amount to be calculated daily and any reimbursement due to be paid no less frequently than monthly. This fee waiver will be honored by the Advisor through August 1, 2027 and shall automatically renew for one-year terms unless the Advisor provides written notice to the Fund of the termination of the agreement. The agreement may be terminated at any time by the Fund’s Board of Trustees. In any event, this undertaking will continue for at least twelve months from the date of this Prospectus.
The Advisor bears all of its own costs associated with providing these advisory services and the expenses of the members of the Board of Trustees who are affiliated with the Advisor. In addition, the Advisor may make payments from its own resources to broker-dealers and other financial institutions, including to the Advisor’s parent company, Guggenheim Capital, LLC and its affiliates, in connection with services provided to the Funds and for services provided in connection with the sale of Fund shares.
A discussion regarding the basis for the Board of Trustees’ approval of the investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of each Fund, and the Advisor in May 2025 is currently available in the Funds’ report filed on Form N-CSRS for the fiscal period ended September 30, 2025. A discussion regarding the basis for the Board of Trustees’ approval of the Funds’ investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of each Fund, and the Advisor in May 2026 will be available in the Funds’ report filed on Form N-CSRS for the fiscal period ending September 30, 2026.
For each Fund, except the Inverse S&P 500® 2x Strategy Fund and Inverse NASDAQ-100® 2x Strategy Fund, the Advisor may hire one or more sub-advisers to oversee the day-to-day activities of the Funds without seeking the approval of Fund shareholders. The Advisor and the Funds rely on an exemptive order obtained from the SEC to be able to function as a multi-manager structure. The order allows the Advisor to hire, replace or terminate unaffiliated sub-advisers without the approval of shareholders. The order also allows the Advisor to revise a sub-advisory agreement with an unaffiliated sub-adviser with the approval of the Funds’ Board of Trustees, but without shareholder approval. However, any increase in the aggregate advisory fee paid by a Fund, including any increase resulting from a change to a Fund's sub-advisory arrangements, remains subject to 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. In the event the Funds use a sub-advisor, the Advisor would provide the following oversight and evaluation services to the Funds:
performing initial due diligence on prospective sub-advisers for the Funds;
PROSPECTUS | 123

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 Advisor does not expect to recommend frequent changes of sub-advisers. Although the Advisor will monitor the performance of the sub-advisers, there is no certainty that any sub-adviser or Fund will obtain favorable results at any given time. Currently the Funds are not managed by a sub-adviser.
To the extent sub-advisers provide sub-advisory services to the Funds, their activities with respect to the Funds are subject to oversight by the Advisor. The Advisor has ultimate responsibility for the investment performance of the Funds due to its responsibility to oversee each sub-adviser and recommend their hiring, termination and replacement. The Advisor is not required to disclose individual fees paid to any sub-adviser hired pursuant to the order.

Shareholder Information
CALCULATING NET ASSET VALUE
The price at which you buy, sell and exchange shares is the net asset value per share, which also is referred to as NAV.
Each Fund calculates its NAV by:
Taking the current value of its total assets;
Subtracting any liabilities; and
Dividing that amount by the total number of shares owned by shareholders
Each Fund’s assets are comprised of its portfolio securities and other investments and other assets, including cash and net investment income and realized and unrealized capital gains that have previously been earned but not yet distributed. As a result, when a shareholder purchases shares of a Fund, part of the NAV is often comprised of such income and gains prior to the purchase, which are included in the purchase price paid by the shareholder. Further, any payment of an income dividend or distribution of capital gains will result in a decrease in a Fund’s NAV.
Each Fund calculates its NAV twice each Business Day, first in the morning and again in the afternoon, on each day that the NYSE is open for trading. The Funds typically calculate the morning NAV as of 10:45 a.m., Eastern Time and the afternoon NAV as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time). The NYSE is open Monday through Friday, except in observation of the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
On any day that the NYSE closes early, whether scheduled (e.g., days preceding or following generally observed holidays) or unscheduled (e.g., market closures due to trading halts), the Funds typically will calculate NAV as of the earlier closing time and advance the time by which purchase and redemption orders must be received accordingly. In addition, on days that the NYSE is scheduled to close early (e.g., days preceding or following generally observed holidays), the Funds will typically calculate NAV only once as of the early closing time. In the event the NYSE is subject to an unscheduled early close (e.g., market closures due to trading halts) that takes place after 10:45 a.m., Eastern Time, the Funds will typically calculate the morning NAV as of 10:45 a.m., Eastern Time, and the afternoon NAV as of the earlier closing time. In each case, the Funds will advance the time by which purchase and redemption orders must be received accordingly.
On any day that the NYSE or other principal trading market relevant to a particular Fund has an earlier closing time (scheduled or unscheduled) — or as otherwise permitted by the SEC — each 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 or such other principal trading market 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, each Fund may accept purchase and redemption orders until (and calculate its NAV as of) the normally scheduled close of regular trading on the NYSE.
For more information, please call 1-800-820-0888 or visit the Guggenheim Investments website — www.guggenheiminvestments.com.
In calculating NAV, each Fund generally values its investment portfolio based on the market price of the securities as of the time the Fund determines NAV. If market prices are unavailable or the Advisor thinks that they are unreliable, the Advisor prices those securities at fair value. 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 Advisor 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 the Funds calculate NAV.
PROSPECTUS | 125

The Board of Trustees has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the Funds’ investments (the “Valuation Procedures”). Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board designated the Advisor as the valuation designee to perform fair valuation determinations for each Fund with respect to all Fund investments and/or other assets. As the Funds’ valuation designee pursuant to Rule 2a-5, the Advisor has adopted separate procedures (“Valuation Designee Procedures”) reasonably designed to prevent violations of the requirements of Rule 2a-5 and Rule 31a-4 under the 1940 Act. The Advisor, in its role as valuation designee, is assisted by a valuation committee, consisting of representatives from Guggenheim’s investment management, fund administration, legal and compliance departments (the “Valuation Committee”), in determining the fair value of the Funds’ securities and/or other assets. The Valuation Procedures and Valuation Designee Procedures permit the Funds to use a variety of valuation methodologies in connection with valuing the Funds’ investments. The methodology used for a specific type of investment may vary based on available market data or other relevant considerations. As a general matter, valuing securities and assets accurately is difficult and can be based on inputs and assumptions which may not always be accurate.
In general, portfolio securities and assets of a Fund will be valued on the basis of readily available market quotations at their current market value. With respect to portfolio securities and assets of a Fund for which market quotations are not readily available or deemed unreliable by the Advisor, the Fund will fair value those securities and assets in good faith in accordance with the Valuation Procedures and Valuation Designee Procedures.
Valuations in accordance with these methods are intended to reflect each security’s (or asset’s or liability’s) “fair value.” Fair value represents a good faith approximation of the value of a security. Fair value determinations may be based on limited inputs and involve the consideration of a number of subjective factors, an analysis of applicable facts and circumstances, and the exercise of judgment. Each such determination is based on a consideration of all relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. Examples of such factors may include, but are not limited to market prices; sale prices; broker quotes; and models which derive prices based on inputs such as prices of securities with comparable maturities and characteristics, or based on inputs such as anticipated cash flows or collateral, spread over U.S. Treasury securities, and other information analysis. As a result, it is possible that the fair value for a security determined in good faith in accordance with the Valuation Procedures and Valuation Designee Procedures may differ from valuations for the same security determined by other funds using their own valuation procedures. Although the Valuation Procedures and Valuation Designee Procedures are designed to value a portfolio security or asset at the price a Fund may reasonably expect to receive upon its sale in an orderly transaction, there is no assurance that any fair value determination thereunder would, in fact, approximate the amount that a Fund could reasonably expect to receive upon the sale of the portfolio security or asset.
Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of foreign securities are determined as of the close of such foreign markets or the close of the NYSE, if earlier. All investments quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates prevailing at the close of U.S. business at 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time. Investments in foreign securities may involve risks not present in domestic investments.
A Fund may also fair value securities and assets when a significant event is deemed to have occurred after the time of a market quotation, including for securities and assets traded on foreign markets and securities and assets for which market quotations are provided by independent third party pricing services as of a time that is prior to the time when the Funds determine their NAV. There can be no assurance in each case that significant events will be identified.
With respect to any portion of a Fund’s assets invested in open-end investment companies, the Fund’s NAV is calculated based upon the NAV of the open-end investment companies in which the Fund invests, except ETFs and closed-end investment companies, which are generally valued based on market prices.
Proportions of a Fund’s investments that are fair valued vary from time to time and a Fund may fair value a significant amount of its portfolio securities and assets. The Funds’ report on Form N-CSR contains more information about the Funds’ holdings that are fair valued. Investors should consult the Funds’ report on Form N-CSR for additional information.
Valuations of the Funds’ securities and other assets are supplied primarily by independent third party pricing services appointed pursuant to the processes set forth in the Valuation Designee Procedures. Valuations provided by independent third party pricing services are generally based on methods designed to approximate the amount that a Fund could reasonably expect to receive upon the sale of the portfolio security or asset. When providing valuations
126 | PROSPECTUS

to the Funds, pricing services use various inputs, methods, models and assumptions, which may include information provided by broker-dealers and other market makers. Independent third party services face the same challenges as the Funds in valuing securities and assets and may rely on limited available information. If the independent third party pricing service cannot or does not provide a valuation for a particular investment, or such valuation is deemed unreliable, such investment is fair valued by the Advisor. Each Fund may also use third-party service providers to model certain securities, using models to determine fair market value. While a Fund’s use of fair valuation is intended to result in calculation of NAV that fairly reflects values of the Fund’s portfolio securities as of the time of pricing, a Fund cannot guarantee that any fair valuation will, in fact, approximate the amount the Fund would actually realize upon the sale of the securities in question.
Securities traded on a domestic securities exchange (including ETF shares) are usually valued at the last sale price on that exchange on the day 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 on the valuation date, the last current bid price is used.
Commercial paper and discount notes with remaining maturities of greater than sixty (60) days at the time of purchase are valued using a pricing service. Commercial paper and discount notes with remaining maturities of sixty (60) days or less at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost, unless it is concluded that amortized cost does not represent the fair value of the applicable asset in which case it will be valued using a pricing service. With respect to an underlying open-end mutual fund (“underlying mutual fund”) in which a Fund may invest, the Fund generally 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 mutual fund will use fair value pricing and the effects of fair value pricing.
The Advisor generally values the Funds’ derivatives investments at fair value using a variety of information.
Total return index swaps are generally fair valued based on the current index value at the morning NAV pricing deadline (typically 10:45 a.m. Eastern Time). For the afternoon NAV pricing deadline (typically 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time), total return index swaps are generally fair valued using the official index closing price. Single name credit default swaps are generally fair valued using an evaluated price provided by a pricing service. If there is no evaluated price available, then single name credit default swaps are fair valued based on broker bid prices. Equity options are generally fair valued using the mid-price and commodity options are generally fair valued based on the underlying futures contract of the option. Futures contracts are generally fair valued based on the last sale price. Index and currency futures are generally fair valued based on the last sale price as of 10:45 a.m. Eastern Time for the morning NAV pricing deadline and based on the last sale as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time for the afternoon NAV pricing deadline. Exchange-traded futures are generally fair valued based on the last sale price from the local market.
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.
The use of fair valuation in pricing an investment 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 investment 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.
EXPLANATION OF CERTAIN FUND FEES AND EXPENSES
Short Sales Dividend and Interest Expense—“Short Sales Dividend and Interest Expense” may be incurred when a Fund short sells a security to gain the inverse exposure necessary to meet its investment objective. The Fund must pay out the dividend rate on an equity security, the coupon rate of a fixed income security, and interest expense associated with either, to the lender and records these as an expense of the Fund and reflects these expenses in its financial statements. However, any such dividend or interest expense on a security sold short generally has the effect of reducing the market value of the shorted security – thus increasing the Fund’s unrealized gain or reducing the Fund’s unrealized loss on its short sale transaction. “Short Sales Dividend and Interest Expense” also may include interest expense paid to third parties for the use of funds to be used to further implement a Fund’s strategy. For example, a Fund may pay interest to a swap counterparty for the use of its margin proceeds or collateral, which the Fund would then invest consistent with its investment strategy to seek to achieve its investment objective. A Fund engages in such activity when the Advisor believes the expected return from such investments will exceed and thus,
PROSPECTUS | 127

offset the interest expense incurred, though there is no guarantee that such strategy will be successful. “Short Sales Dividend and Interest Expense” is not a fee charged to the shareholder by either the Fund or the Advisor. Rather it is more similar to the investment-related transaction costs or capital expenditures associated with the day-to-day management of any mutual fund.
Buying, Selling and Exchanging Fund Shares
Class H shares are offered directly through the Funds’ transfer agent, Bank of New York, and also through authorized securities brokers and other financial intermediaries.
OPENING YOUR ACCOUNT
You will need to open a Guggenheim Investments shareholder account to make share transactions – buy, sell or exchange shares of the Funds directly with Guggenheim Investments. You can obtain an account application or request more information about opening an account by calling Guggenheim Investments Client Services at 1-800-820-0888. You also may 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, such as an individual retirement account (“IRA”), 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.
TIPS TO SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE YOUR ACCOUNT APPLICATION
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. If you are a legal entity, you must complete and return the Certification of Beneficial Owners Form in addition to your application and other required documents. Failure to provide this supporting 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 Business Day. As discussed in greater detail under “Calculating Net Asset Value,” on any day that the NYSE or other principal trading market relevant to a particular Fund has an earlier closing time (scheduled or unscheduled) — or as otherwise permitted by the SEC — each 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 or such other principal trading market for that day.
128 | PROSPECTUS

The NYSE holiday schedule is included in the SAI and Guggenheim Investments will post advance notice of early NYSE closings at www.guggenheiminvestments.com.
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, Bank of New York, or an authorized dealer. 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 Advisor. Any purchase transaction that is sent to the transfer agent does not constitute a purchase order until the transfer agent processes the transaction and receives correct payment by check, wire transfer or ACH.
Some intermediaries may not offer intra-day trading or pricing regardless of when you place your order with your intermediary. All orders received in good order by a financial intermediary that does not offer intra-day pricing will be priced at the Funds’ afternoon NAV. For more information about your financial intermediary’s rules and procedures, you should contact your intermediary directly.

Each financial intermediary may have its own rules about share transactions and may impose earlier cut-off times for processing your transaction order.
TRANSACTIONS THROUGH YOUR FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARY
If you opened your account through a financial intermediary, you will ordinarily submit your transaction orders through that financial intermediary, which may have its own rules about share transactions, and may have earlier cut-off times for processing your transaction order. 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 will be processed at the Funds’ 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 also may 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. Not all financial intermediaries are authorized to sell shares of the Funds. For more information about your financial intermediary’s rules and procedures, you should contact your financial intermediary directly.
Buying Fund Shares
Each Fund offers its 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 three business days of Guggenheim Investments receiving the purchase order. Purchase orders are subject to the Funds’ transaction cut-off times and will be processed at the NAV next determined after your purchase order is received in good order. For information regarding the minimum initial investment amount applicable to purchases of Class H shares of the Funds, please see the Funds’ summary sections earlier in this Prospectus. Trustees and officers of the Funds and other mutual funds managed by the Advisor or one or more of its affiliates, and directors, officers and employees, including household members of such persons, of the Funds’ Advisor or distributor, Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC (the "Distributor"), and their affiliates, are eligible to purchase Class H shares of the Funds without meeting the minimum initial investment amount for accounts held directly at Guggenheim Investments.
Each Fund is generally required to report cost basis, gain or loss, and holding period information to you and the IRS when "covered shares" are sold or redeemed. Shares acquired on or after January 1, 2012 are generally considered covered shares. The Fund will use a default average cost basis method for reporting your cost basis for covered shares, unless you instruct us to use another method. Under the average cost basis method, the basis per share is reported as an average of the bases of your Fund shares in the account. For these purposes, covered shares and
PROSPECTUS | 129

non-covered shares are treated as held in separate accounts. If you wish to choose another default cost basis method for your account, you may select from among FIFO (“first-in-first-out”), LIFO (“last-in-first-out”) and HIFO (“highest-cost-in-first-out”). For redemptions of shares acquired before January 1, 2012 (“non-covered shares”), the Fund is 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 method policies. For more information about your financial intermediary’s rules and procedures, you should contact your financial intermediary directly.
Fund shareholders should consult with their tax advisers prior to making redemptions to determine the best IRS accepted cost basis method for their tax situation and to obtain more information about the cost basis reporting rules. For more information, please see “Cost Basis.”
For additional discussion of the average cost method, see “Redemption Procedures.”
PURCHASE PROCEDURES
The Funds offer you the option to submit purchase orders through your financial intermediary or send purchase orders by mail, fax or internet and send purchase proceeds by check, wire transfer or ACH to the Funds 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. The refund of a canceled purchase will be mailed to you after the 10-day hold has expired for purchases made by ACH and check.
Guggenheim Investments does not accept purchase orders from 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.

CANCELED PURCHASE ORDERS
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 (Bank of New York) does not receive your wire transfer
if the transfer agent (Bank of New York) does not receive your ACH transfer
if your bank does not honor your ACH transfer
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 Fund(s) may have experienced from the time of your order to the time of its cancellation. In addition, if the Fund(s) NAV decreases in value from the time of your order to the time of its cancellation, the Fund(s) 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 Fund on any Business Day. You may redeem all or any portion of your Fund shares at the Fund’s next determined NAV calculated after your redemption order is received in good order by the transfer agent or your financial intermediary.
The Funds may suspend your right to redeem your shares during times when trading on the NYSE is suspended or restricted, or otherwise as permitted by the SEC.
Under normal circumstances, the Funds expect to satisfy redemption requests with cash or cash equivalents in their portfolios or by selling portfolio assets to generate cash. The Funds also may pay redemption proceeds using cash obtained through borrowing arrangements that may be available to the Funds from time to time.
The Funds reserve the right to pay all or part of your redemption proceeds in liquid securities (i.e., in kind) with a market value equal to the redemption price. 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.

During periods of stressed market conditions, the Funds may be more likely to pay redemption proceeds with cash obtained through short-term borrowing arrangements (if available) or in kind.

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 shareholders choose not to use the default cost basis method of average cost for an account, such shareholders must choose a cost basis method from among FIFO, LIFO or HIFO with respect to the account. 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.
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.
Fund shareholders should consult their tax advisers prior to making redemptions to determine the best IRS accepted cost basis method for their tax situation and to obtain more information about the cost basis reporting rules. For more information see “Cost Basis.”

DISTRIBUTIONS FROM QUALIFIED RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS
Distributions from your tax-qualified plan or 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. All requests for distributions of redemption proceeds from tax-qualified plan 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
Your redemption proceeds normally will be sent within five days of the Funds’ transfer agent receiving your request, but in any event within seven days regardless of the method used to pay your redemption proceeds (e.g., check, wire or electronic transfer (ACH)). For redemption orders that settle on federal bank holidays, your redemption proceeds will normally 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 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 U.S. Government Money Market Fund as of the date of the redemption (shares of the U.S. Government Money Market Fund are offered in a separate prospectus). If you are setting up new alternate payee instructions (check) or new bank instructions (ACH or wire) the request must be in writing, 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 1-800-820-0888 if you have any questions about your redemption request.
MEDALLION SIGNATURE GUARANTEES
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 the Funds.
UNCASHED CHECK POLICY
Uncashed dividend, capital gain, or redemption checks will be handled in accordance with applicable law. The Funds may be required to transfer assets related to uncashed checks to a state under the state’s escheatment or abandoned property laws.
LOW BALANCE ACCOUNTS
To offset the administrative expense of servicing small accounts, the Funds may impose, without additional notice, an administrative fee of $15 per year during periods where your account balance falls below the account minimum requirements for any reason. The Funds may redeem your shares if the value of your account falls below the required minimum account balance. However, the Funds will provide you with at least 30 days’ written notice to allow you sufficient time to add to your account and avoid the redemption of your shares.
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 Class H shares of any Rydex Series Fund or Rydex Dynamic Fund (collectively, the "Rydex Funds") for Investor Class shares or Class H shares of any other Rydex Fund, as applicable, on the basis of the respective NAVs of the shares involved. Investors also may make exchanges on any Business Day of Investor Class shares or Class H shares of any Rydex Fund for shares of the U.S. Government Money Market Fund (shares of the U.S. Government Money Market Fund are offered in a separate prospectus).
134 | PROSPECTUS

The Guggenheim Investments family of funds currently includes all closed- and open-end funds (including all of their portfolios) advised by the Advisor, including the Rydex Funds, and any funds that have an investment adviser or servicing agent that is an affiliated person of the Advisor (collectively, the "Guggenheim Funds"). For more information about the Funds’ exchange privileges with other Guggenheim Funds, please contact Guggenheim Investments Client Services at 1-800-820-0888 or visit the Guggenheim Investments website at www.guggenheiminvestments.com. Exchanges of Fund shares for shares of another Guggenheim Fund will be subject to the purchaser eligibility requirements of the applicable share class of that Guggenheim Fund, which may include initial investment amount and account balance requirements, as disclosed in that Guggenheim Fund's prospectus.
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 Guggenheim 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 Guggenheim Fund you are exchanging out of or the Guggenheim Fund you are exchanging into, whichever is earlier, to be processed at that Business Day’s NAV.
While many of the Rydex Funds offer unlimited exchange privileges with no minimum holding periods or transaction fees, certain Guggenheim Funds do not allow unlimited trading. If you are contemplating an exchange for shares of a Guggenheim Fund not offered in this Prospectus, you should obtain and review that Guggenheim Fund's current prospectus before making the exchange. You can obtain a prospectus for any Guggenheim Fund by calling 1-800-820-0888 or visiting the Guggenheim Investments website at www.guggenheiminvestments.com.
The exchange privilege may be modified or discontinued at any time.

DOLLAR-COST AVERAGING
Shareholders 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 Advisor will make exchanges until the shareholder’s value in the 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 Funds 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. The Funds may use this information to attempt to verify your identity or to identify the source of funds invested in the Funds. The Funds may not be able to establish an account if the necessary information is not received. The Funds also may place limits on account transactions while they are in the process of attempting to verify your identity. Additionally, if the Funds are unable to verify your identity after your account is established, the Funds 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 after your account is closed, and you will bear any risk of loss.
Guggenheim Investments provides accounts for resident U.S. citizens and resident aliens. We will not open a new account for 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
For information on what is required to make changes and/or additions to your account, and to obtain the appropriate forms, please visit the Guggenheim Investments website at www.guggenheiminvestments.com or call 1-800-820-0888. If you own shares that are registered in your financial intermediary’s name, and you want to transfer the registration 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
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 website 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
136 | PROSPECTUS

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 not able to reach Guggenheim Investments by telephone, fax, or internet, consider sending written instructions.
STATEMENTS & CONFIRMATIONS
You will receive a confirmation for every trade you initiate. You also will receive a statement each quarter, and your monthly statement will be posted online, within Secure Account Access. 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 not promptly reported. If there are any discrepancies, call Client Services at 1-800-820-0888.
eDELIVERY SERVICES
eDelivery offers shareholders 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 website at www.guggenheiminvestments.com/edelivery. 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 – 1-800-717-7776
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 Fund information including NAVs, daily factors, fund assets (fund assets information is available for most funds) and distributions as well as balance and history information on your Guggenheim Investments account.
SERVICE AND OTHER FEES
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
$20 for standard overnight packages (fee may be higher for special delivery options including residential delivery)
$50 for bounced draft checks or ACH transactions
$15 per year for low balance accounts
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
PROSPECTUS | 137

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
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 1-800-820-0888.
For additional information on fees for employee accounts please refer to the SAI.
FREQUENT PURCHASES AND REDEMPTIONS OF FUND SHARES
Because the Funds are designed and operated to accommodate frequent trading by shareholders and, unlike most mutual funds, offer unlimited exchange privileges with no minimum holding periods or transaction fees, the Funds’ Board of Trustees has not adopted policies or procedures to monitor or prevent market timing or to monitor for frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares, although it reserves the right to adopt such a policy in the future if it determines that such policy is necessary or appropriate for the protection of shareholders.
A significant portion of the assets of the Funds come from investors who take part in certain strategic and tactical asset allocation programs. The Funds anticipate that investors who take part in these programs may frequently redeem or exchange shares of the Funds, which may cause the Funds to experience high portfolio turnover. Higher portfolio turnover may result in the Funds paying higher levels of transaction costs and generating greater tax liabilities for shareholders. In addition, large movements of assets into and out of the Funds may negatively impact the Funds’ ability to achieve their respective investment objectives.
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 agents) 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 Funds are required to withhold such proceeds. Neither the Funds, the Advisor (or their affiliates) nor the Funds’ 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 (e.g., if the account owner has not initiated any activity in the account or contacted the fund) 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 appropriate state’s unclaimed property administrator, which is typically the state of your last known mailing address, in accordance with applicable unclaimed or abandoned property (escheatment) laws, which vary by state. Escheatment with respect to a retirement account is subject to a 10% federal withholding on the account. 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
138 | PROSPECTUS

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 1-800-820-0888 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.
The Funds and Guggenheim Investments will not be liable to investors or their representatives for good faith compliance with state unclaimed or abandoned property (escheatment) laws.
Distribution Services
The Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to Class H shares that allows the Funds to pay distribution fees to the Distributor and other firms that provide distribution-related services 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.
COMPENSATION TO BROKER-DEALERS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES
The Advisor, at its expense, may provide compensation to financial intermediaries for the sale of Fund shares. Such compensation, commonly referred to as “revenue sharing,” does not increase Fund expenses and is not reflected in the fees and expenses listed in the Funds’ expense tables in this Prospectus. Compensation may be in the form of cash payments or non-cash compensation and may include ticket charges, additional compensation for sales, on-going fees for shareholder servicing and maintenance of investor accounts, one-time payments for ancillary services, such as setting up the Funds on a financial intermediary’s fund trading system, and finder’s fees that vary depending on the Fund or share class and the dollar amount of shares sold. Cash and non-cash compensation may be paid, at the discretion of the Advisor, to certain financial intermediaries who have sold shares of the Funds, promoted the distribution of the Funds, or rendered investor services to Fund shareholders. For example, such payments may be made to financial intermediaries that provide services to the Funds and/or Fund shareholders, including, without limitation, shareholder servicing, marketing support and/or access to meetings and/or events, sales representatives and management representatives of the financial intermediaries.
Payments also may be paid to financial intermediaries for providing the Funds with access to third-party platforms, including mutual fund “supermarket” platforms, and for inclusion of a Fund on a sales list, including a preferred or select sales list, in other sales programs, or as an expense reimbursement or compensation in cases where the financial intermediary provides services to Fund shareholders. The Advisor also may pay expenses associated with meetings that facilitate educating financial intermediaries and shareholders about the Funds that are conducted by financial intermediaries. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Advisor and its affiliates may pay or allow other incentives and compensation to financial intermediaries. Such payments and compensation are in addition to any applicable sales charges, Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, and service fees paid by the Funds. The level of payments made to financial intermediaries will generally vary, but may be significant. The Advisor determines the extent of such payments in its sole discretion in response to requests from financial intermediaries, based on factors it deems relevant, such as the financial intermediary’s sales, assets, share class utilized, and the quality of the financial intermediary’s relationship with the Advisor. The Advisor periodically determines the advisability of continuing these payments. 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.
Sub-Transfer Agency Services. The Advisor, Distributor and Trust enter 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
PROSPECTUS | 139

number of accounts serviced by the financial intermediary. The aggregate amount of these payments, which are reimbursed all or in part by the Funds, are substantial in some cases and are in addition to, rather than in lieu of, 12b-1 fees the financial intermediary also may be receiving pursuant to agreements with the Distributor. These payments increase the Funds’ operating expenses and reduce their investment performance.
Dividends and Distributions
TIMING OF PAYMENTS
Income dividends, if any, are paid at least annually by the Funds. If you own Fund shares on a Fund’s record date, you will be entitled to receive the dividend. The Funds may declare and pay dividends on the same date. Each Fund makes distributions of capital gains, if any, at least annually. Each Fund, however, may declare a special capital gains distribution if the Board of Trustees believes that such a distribution would be in the best interest of the shareholders of the Fund. You generally begin earning dividends, if applicable, on the business day following the day of your purchase of shares when your purchase of shares settles and will continue earning dividends up to and including the day of your redemption of shares. When you redeem only part of the shares you owned prior to a dividend payment date, you will usually receive the dividend payment of the redeemed shares with the dividend payment for the days you are a shareholder of record of those redeemed shares. Timing for receipt of dividends and distributions and related practices may depend on whether you invest with a Fund directly or through an intermediary.
DIVIDEND PAYMENT OPTIONS
If you invest in a Fund directly (and not through an intermediary), 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 but would like to receive cash payments, you must notify the Funds in writing to change your election prior to the date of the next distribution. Your election will become effective for dividends paid after the Funds receive your written notice. To cancel your election, simply send written notice to the Funds.
If you elect to receive cash payments, we encourage you to cash your dividends and distributions check promptly. Interest will not accrue on the amount of your uncashed check. Additionally, the Funds may be required to transfer assets related to uncashed checks to a state under the state’s escheatment or abandoned property laws.
Dividends and distributions with values of $25 or less may be automatically reinvested in additional Fund shares. In addition, if you elect to receive dividends and distributions in cash and you have not provided the Funds 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 Funds reserve the right to reinvest such dividends or distributions in additional Fund shares and absent further instruction from you, 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). When reinvested, those amounts are subject to the risk of loss like any other investment in the Funds.
If you invest in a Fund through an intermediary, please contact your financial intermediary for their policies and procedures regarding dividend and distribution payment options and related practices as well as changes to your elections.
Additional Tax Information
The following is a summary of certain important federal income tax issues that affect the Funds and their shareholders. The summary is based on current tax laws, which may be changed by legislative, judicial or administrative action. You should not consider this summary to be a comprehensive explanation of the tax treatment of the Funds, or the tax consequences of an investment in the Funds. More information about taxes is located in the SAI. You are urged to consult your tax adviser regarding specific questions as to U.S. federal, state and local taxes.
140 | PROSPECTUS

TAX STATUS OF EACH FUND
Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal tax purposes and has elected and intends to qualify for the special tax treatment afforded to regulated investment companies (“RICs”). As long as a Fund qualifies for treatment as a RIC, the Fund pays no federal income tax on the earnings it timely distributes to shareholders.
TAX STATUS OF DISTRIBUTIONS
Each Fund intends to, at least annually, distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains.
The income dividends you receive from the Funds will be taxed as either ordinary income or qualified dividend income.
For non-corporate shareholders, dividends are eligible for reduced maximum tax rates to the extent that the applicable Fund receives qualified dividend income and such Fund reports the dividend as qualified dividend income, subject to certain limitations. Qualified dividend income is, in general, dividend income from taxable domestic corporations and certain foreign corporations (i.e., foreign corporations incorporated in a possession of the United States or in countries with comprehensive tax treaties with the United States, and certain other foreign corporations if the stock with respect to which the dividend was paid is readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States). Certain Funds’ investment strategies may significantly limit their ability to distribute dividends eligible for treatment as qualified dividend income.
Distributions of a Fund’s short-term capital gains are taxable as ordinary income. Long-term capital gains will result from gains on the sale or exchange of capital assets held by the Funds for more than one year. Any distributions of net capital gain (the excess of a Fund’s net long-term capital gains over its net short-term capital losses) that you receive from a Fund are taxable as long-term capital gains regardless of how long you have owned your shares. Long-term capital gains are taxable to non-corporate shareholders at reduced maximum rates.
Dividends and distributions are generally taxable to you whether you receive them in cash or in additional shares.
Corporate shareholders may be entitled to a dividends-received deduction for any portion of dividends they receive that are attributable to dividends received by a Fund from U.S. corporations, subject to certain limitations. Certain Funds’ investment strategies may significantly limit their ability to distribute dividends eligible for the dividends-received deduction.
Distributions paid in January but declared by the Funds in October, November or December of the previous year may be taxable to you in the previous year.
You should note that if you purchase shares just before a distribution, the purchase price would reflect the amount of the upcoming distribution. In this case, you would be taxed on the entire amount of the distribution received, even though, as an economic matter, the distribution simply constitutes a return of your investment. This is known as “buying a dividend” and generally should be avoided by taxable investors.
Shortly after the close of each calendar year, the Funds will inform you of the amount of your ordinary income dividends, qualified dividend income, and net capital gain distributions received from the Funds.
If you hold your shares in a tax-qualified retirement account, you generally will not be subject to federal taxation on Fund distributions until you begin receiving distributions from your retirement account. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the tax rules that apply to your retirement account.
Each Fund may invest in complex securities. These investments may be subject to numerous special and complex rules. These rules could affect a Fund's ability to qualify as a RIC, affect whether gains and losses recognized by a Fund are treated as ordinary income or capital gain, accelerate the recognition of income to a Fund and/or defer a Fund’s ability to recognize losses. In turn, these rules may affect the amount, timing or character of the income distributed to you by a Fund.
“Qualified REIT dividends” (i.e., ordinary REIT dividends other than capital gain dividends and portions of REIT dividends designated as qualified dividend income eligible for capital gain tax rates) are eligible for a 20% deduction by non-corporate taxpayers. This deduction, if allowed in full, equates to a maximum effective tax rate of 29.6% (37% top rate applied to income after 20% deduction). Distributions by a Fund to its shareholders that are attributable to qualified REIT dividends received by the Fund and which the Fund properly reports as “section 199A dividends,” are treated as “qualified REIT dividends” in the hands of non-corporate shareholders. A section 199A dividend is treated as a qualified REIT dividend only if the shareholder receiving such dividend holds the dividend-paying RIC shares for at least 46 days of the 91-day period beginning 45 days before the shares become ex-dividend, and is not under an obligation to make related payments with respect to a position in substantially similar or related property. A Fund is permitted to report such part of its dividends as section 199A dividends as are eligible but is not required to do so.
PROSPECTUS | 141

TAX STATUS OF SHARE TRANSACTIONS
Each sale, exchange, or redemption of Fund shares will generally be a taxable event to you. Assuming you hold a Fund’s shares as capital assets, the gain or loss on the sale of Fund shares generally will be treated as a short-term capital gain or loss if you held the shares for 12 months or less or as long-term capital gain or loss if you held the shares for longer. Any loss realized upon a taxable disposition of Fund shares held for six months or less will be treated as long-term, rather than short-term, to the extent of any long-term capital gain distributions received (or deemed received) by you with respect to Fund shares. All or a portion of any loss realized upon a taxable disposition of Fund shares will be disallowed if you purchase other substantially identical shares within 30 days before or after the disposition. In such a case, the basis of the newly purchased shares will be adjusted to reflect the disallowed loss. You should consider the tax consequences of any redemption or exchange before making such a request, especially with respect to redemptions if you invest in the Funds through a tax-qualified retirement plan.
NET INVESTMENT INCOME TAX
U.S. individuals with income exceeding certain thresholds are subject to a 3.8% tax on all or a portion of their “net investment income,” which includes interest, dividends, and certain capital gains (including capital gains realized on the sale or exchange of shares of a Fund). This 3.8% tax also applies to all or a portion of the undistributed net investment income of certain shareholders that are estates and trusts.
STATE TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The Funds are not liable for corporate tax in Delaware as long as they qualify as RICs for federal income tax purposes. In addition to federal taxes, distributions by the Funds and ownership of Fund shares may be subject to state and local taxes. You should consult your tax adviser regarding how state and local tax laws affect your investment in Fund shares.
COST BASIS
Each Fund is generally required to report cost basis, gain or loss, and holding period information to you and the IRS when "covered shares" are sold or redeemed. Shares acquired on or after January 1, 2012 are generally considered covered shares. A Fund will use a default average cost basis method for reporting your cost basis for covered shares unless you instruct us to use another method. Under the average cost basis method, the basis per share is reported as an average of the bases of your Fund shares in the account. For these purposes, covered shares and non-covered shares are treated as held in separate accounts. If you wish to choose another default cost basis method for your account you may select from among FIFO (“first-in-first-out”), LIFO (“last-in-first-out”) and HIFO (“highest-cost-in-first-out”). For redemptions of shares acquired before January 1, 2012 (“non-covered shares”), a Fund is 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 method policies. For more information about your financial intermediary’s rules and procedures, you should contact your financial intermediary directly. Fund shareholders should consult with their tax advisers prior to making redemptions to determine the best IRS accepted cost basis method for their tax situation and to obtain more information about the cost basis reporting rules.
NON-U.S. INVESTORS
Foreign shareholders (i.e., non-resident alien individuals and foreign corporations, partnerships, trusts and estates) are generally subject to U.S. withholding tax at the rate of 30% (or a lower tax treaty rate) on distributions derived from net investment income. A Fund may, under certain circumstances, report all or a portion of a dividend as an “interest-related dividend” or a “short-term capital gain dividend,” which would generally be exempt from this 30% U.S. withholding tax, provided certain other requirements are met. Distributions to foreign shareholders of long-term capital gains and any gains from the sale or other disposition of shares of the Funds generally are not subject to U.S. taxation, unless the recipient is an individual who either (1) meets the definition of “resident alien” under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended or (2) is physically present in the United States for 183 days or more per year. Different tax consequences may result if the foreign shareholder is engaged in a trade or business within the United States. In addition, the tax consequences to a foreign shareholder entitled to claim the benefits of a tax treaty may be different than those described above.

General Information About the Trust
The Trust, an open-end management investment company, was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on August 6, 1999. The Trust is permitted to offer separate series (i.e., funds) and different classes of shares, and additional series and classes of shares may be created from time to time. All payments received by the Trust for shares of any fund belong to that fund. Each fund has its own assets and liabilities.
Each Fund is an open-end management investment company. Currently, the Trust offers eight (8) separate funds that offer Class A shares, Class C shares and Class H shares. The different classes provide for variations in sales charges, certain shareholder servicing and distribution expenses, and minimum initial investment requirements. In addition, an initial sales charge is imposed on the purchase of Class A shares, and a contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on the redemption of Class C shares. Sales charges and minimum investment requirements applicable to each class of shares are described in the Prospectuses. For more information on shareholder servicing and distribution expenses, see “Management of the Trust – The Distributor and the Distribution Agreement.”
Investment Methods and Risk Factors
General
Each Fund’s investment objective and principal investment strategies are described in the Fund's Prospectuses. The investment objective of each Fund is non-fundamental and may be changed without the consent of the holders of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding shares.
Portfolio management is provided to each Fund by the Advisor, a Kansas limited liability company principally located at 330 Madison Avenue, 10th Floor, New York, New York 10017. The Advisor operates under the name Guggenheim Investments. Prior to January 3, 2011, the name of the Advisor was Rydex Advisors, LLC and prior to June 30, 2010, PADCO Advisors, Inc., each of which did business under the name Rydex Investments.
The investment strategies of the Funds discussed below and in the Funds' Prospectuses may, consistent with each Fund’s investment objective and investment limitations, be used by a Fund if, in the opinion of the Advisor, the strategies will be advantageous to the Fund. Each Fund is free to reduce or eliminate its activity with respect to any of the investment techniques described below without changing the Fund’s fundamental investment policies. There is no assurance that any of the Funds’ strategies or any other strategies and methods of investment available to a Fund will result in the achievement of the Fund’s objectives. Each Fund is considered non-diversified for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). Under the 1940 Act, a fund’s sub-categorization as a diversified fund is a fundamental policy. A diversified fund under the 1940 Act is defined to mean that the fund may not (as to 75% of the fund’s total assets) purchase any security (other than obligations of the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities and securities of other investment companies) if as a result (i) more than 5% of the fund’s total assets (taken at current value) would then be invested in securities of a single issuer or (ii) more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that issuer would be held by the fund. Each Fund tracks an underlying index the components of which generally are expected to be in the aggregate non-diversified. The composition of each underlying index, however, may at times shift from non-diversified to diversified solely due to changes in the relative market capitalizations or index weightings of one or more index components. As a result, a Fund’s diversification status also may shift from non-diversified to diversified and back again depending on the composition of, and to the same extent as, its underlying index. To the extent a Fund becomes diversified and subsequently returns to a non-diversified state due solely to changes in the composition of the Fund’s underlying index, the Fund will not seek shareholder approval if and when the Fund shifts from diversified to non-diversified. The information in this SAI supplements and should be read in conjunction with the Funds’ Prospectuses.
Principal Investment Policies, Techniques and Risk Factors— Each Fund’s principal investment strategies and the summaries of risks associated with the Fund’s principal investment strategies are described in the Fund’s “Fund Summary” and “Principal Risks” sections of the Fund’s Prospectuses. The following discussion provides additional information about certain of those principal investment strategies and related risks, as well as information about other investment strategies that a Fund may utilize and related risks that may apply to a Fund, even though they are not considered to be “principal” investment strategies of the Fund. Accordingly, an investment strategy and related risk that is described below, but which is not described in a Fund’s Summary Prospectus, should not be considered to be a principal investment strategy or principal risk applicable to that Fund.
1

Some of the risk factors related to certain securities, instruments and techniques that may be used by the Funds are described in the “Fund Summaries” and “Principal Risks” sections of the Prospectuses and in this SAI. The following is a description of certain additional risk factors related to various securities, instruments and techniques. Also included is a general description of some of the investment instruments, techniques and methods that may be used by one or more of the Funds. Although the Funds may employ the techniques, instruments and methods described below, consistent with their investment objectives and policies and any applicable law, a Fund is not required to do so.
Investors should be aware that economies and financial markets have in recent periods experienced increased uncertainty and volatility because of, among other factors, economic developments, geopolitical tensions, labor and public health conditions around the world, inflation, tariffs and changing interest rates. To the extent these or similar conditions continue to occur in the future, the risks below could be heightened significantly compared to normal conditions and therefore a Fund’s investments and a shareholder’s investment in a Fund may be particularly subject to reduced yield and/or income and to sudden and substantial losses. The fact that a particular risk is not specifically identified as being heightened under current conditions, does not mean that the risk is not greater than under normal conditions.
Investment objectives and policies of each Fund are described in the Prospectuses. Below are additional details about the investment policies of certain Funds. There are risks inherent in the ownership of any security, and there can be no assurance that a Fund's investment objective(s) will be achieved. The objective(s) and policies of each Fund, except those enumerated under “Investment Restrictions—Fundamental Policies,” may be modified at any time without shareholder approval.
The investment methods and risk factors are presented below in alphabetical order and not in the order of importance or potential exposure.
General Risk Factors
The net asset value per share (“NAV”) of each Fund is expected to fluctuate, reflecting fluctuations in the market value of its portfolio positions. The Funds are subject to the risks associated with financial, economic and other global market developments and disruptions, including those arising out of, or relating to, real or perceived changes in prevailing interest rates, changes in inflation rates or expectations about inflation rates, deflation, adverse investor confidence or sentiment, general outlook for corporate earnings, changing economic, political (including geopolitical), social or financial market conditions, bank failures, actual or threatened imposition of tariffs (which may be imposed by U.S. and foreign governments) and trade disruptions, recession, changes in currency and inflation rates, increased instability or general uncertainty, environmental or natural disasters, extreme weather or geological events, governmental actions, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), debt crises, terrorism, actual or threatened wars or other armed conflicts (such as the conflict in the Middle East and the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and the risk of expansion or collateral economic and other effects thereof) or ratings downgrades, technological developments (including those related to artificial intelligence) or failures (for example, widespread system outages or disruptions or faulty updates to software applications) and other similar events, each of which may be temporary or last for extended periods. Such events may result in, among other things, travel restrictions, closing of borders, exchange closures, health screenings, healthcare service delays, quarantines, cancellations, supply chain disruptions, lower consumer demand, market volatility and general uncertainty. These events may adversely affect the value of the Funds’ investments, which are particularly sensitive to these types of market risks given increased globalization and interconnectedness of markets, and the ability of the Advisor to execute investment decisions for the Funds (and thus, liquidity may be affected). Such events could adversely impact issuers, markets and economies over the short- and long-term, including in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. Furthermore, the interconnectedness of certain markets, particularly the markets for novel or emerging products or services, such as artificial intelligence or blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies and digital assets, and the related impacts on economies, markets and issuers as well as systemic risk may not be known until a future time, making the potential impact of adverse events occurring in those markets on a Fund difficult to predict. In addition, the Funds and their investments may be adversely impacted by volatility and other developments associated with domestic and global economies, market trading activity and investor interest, including those driven by factors unrelated to financial performance or market conditions. The value of investments, particularly short positions or exposures, may fluctuate dramatically in these circumstances. Also, changes in inflation rates may adversely affect market and economic conditions, the Funds’ investments and investments in the Funds. Government efforts to support the economy and financial markets may increase the risk that asset prices have a higher degree of correlation than historically seen across markets and asset classes. In addition, uncertainty regarding the status of negotiations in the U.S. government to increase the statutory debt ceiling, which may occur time to time, could result
2

in increased volatility in both stock and bond markets and various adverse market and economic developments. It may be difficult for the market to assess the immediate impact of an event on an issuer or security due to uncertainty that may surround such events; the impact of such an event on a security’s valuation may be delayed. There is no assurance that the Funds will achieve their respective investment objectives.
Cyber Security, Market Disruptions and Operational Risk
Like other funds and other parts of the modern economy, the Funds and their service providers, as well as exchanges and market participants through or with which the Funds trade and other infrastructures, services and parties on which the Funds or their service providers rely, are susceptible to ongoing risks related to cyber incidents and the risks associated with financial, economic, public health, labor and other global market developments and disruptions, including those arising out of geopolitical events, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), natural/environmental disasters (such as earthquakes, wildfires and floods), war, terrorism and governmental or quasi-governmental actions as well as technological developments (including those related to artificial intelligence or blockchain technology) or failures (for example, widespread system outages or disruptions or faulty updates to software applications) and other similar events, each of which may be temporary or last for extended periods. Cyber incidents can result from unintentional events (such as an inadvertent release of confidential information) or deliberate attacks (such as cyber extortion) by insiders or third parties, including cyber criminals, competitors, nation-states and “hacktivists,” and can be perpetrated by a variety of complex means, including the use of stolen access credentials, malware or other computer viruses, ransomware, phishing, structured query language injection attacks, and distributed denial of service attacks, among other means. Cyber incidents and market or other disruptions may result in actual or potential adverse consequences for critical information and communications technology, systems and networks that are vital to the operations of the Funds or their service providers, or otherwise impair Fund or service provider operations. For example, a cyber incident may cause operational disruptions and failures impacting information systems or information that a system processes, stores, or transmits, such as by theft, damage or destruction, or corruption or modification of and denial of access to data maintained online or digitally, denial of service on websites rendering the websites unavailable to intended users or not accessible for such users in a timely manner, and the unauthorized release or other exploitation of confidential information. Recent geopolitical tensions may have increased the scale and sophistication of deliberate cyber attacks and other disruptions, particularly from nation-states or entities with nation-state backing.
Geopolitical tensions may, from time to time, increase the scale and sophistication of cyber incidents and other disruptions. A cyber incident or sudden market, operational, technological (including widespread system outages or disruptions or faulty updates to software applications) or other disruption could adversely impact a Fund and its shareholders by, among other things, interfering with the processing of shareholder transactions or other operational functionality, impacting a Fund’s ability to calculate its NAV or other data, causing the release of private shareholder information (i.e., identity theft or other privacy breaches) or confidential Fund information or otherwise compromising the security and reliability of information, impeding trading, causing reputational damage, and subjecting a Fund to regulatory fines, penalties or financial losses, reimbursement or other compensation or remediation costs, litigation expenses and additional compliance and cyber security risk management costs, which may be substantial. A cyber incident could also adversely affect the ability of a Fund (and the Advisor) to invest or manage the Fund’s assets.
Cyber incidents and developments and disruptions to financial, economic, public health, labor and other global market conditions can obstruct the regular functioning of business workforces (including requiring employees to work from external locations or from their homes), cause business slowdowns or temporary suspensions of business activities, each of which can negatively impact Fund service providers and Fund operations. Although the Funds and their service providers, as well as exchanges and market participants through or with which the Funds trade and other infrastructures on which the Funds or their service providers rely, may have established business continuity plans and systems reasonably designed to protect from and/or defend against the risks or adverse consequences associated with cyber incidents and operational and market disruptions, there are inherent limitations in these plans and systems, including that certain risks may not yet be identified, in large part because different or unknown threats may emerge in the future and the threats continue to rapidly evolve and increase in sophistication. As a result, it is not possible to anticipate and prevent every cyber incident and possible obstruction to the normal activities of these entities’ employees resulting from market disruptions and attempts to mitigate the occurrence or impact of such events may be unsuccessful. For example, public health emergencies and governmental responses to such emergencies, including through quarantine measures and travel restrictions, can create difficulties in carrying out the normal working processes of these entities’ employees, disrupt their operations and hamper their capabilities. The nature, extent, and potential magnitude of the adverse consequences of these events cannot be predicted accurately but may result in significant risks, adverse consequences and costs to the Funds and their shareholders.
3

The issuers of securities in which a Fund invests are also subject to the ongoing risks and threats associated with cyber incidents and operational and market disruptions. These incidents could result in adverse consequences for such issuers, and may cause the Fund’s investment in such securities to lose value. For example, a cyber incident involving an issuer may include the theft, destruction or misappropriation of financial assets, intellectual property or other sensitive information belonging to the issuer or their customers (i.e., identity theft or other privacy breaches) and a market disruption involving an issuer may include materially reduced consumer demand and output, disrupted supply chains, market closures, travel restrictions and quarantines. As a result, the issuer may experience the types of adverse consequences summarized above, among others (such as loss of revenue), despite having implemented preventative and other measures reasonably designed to protect from and/or defend against the risks or adverse effects associated with cyber incidents and/or market disruptions.
The Funds’ and their service providers, as well as exchanges and market participants through or with which the Funds trade and other infrastructures on which the Funds or their service providers rely, are also subject to the risks associated with technological and operational disruptions or failures arising from, for example, processing errors and human errors, inadequate or failed internal or external processes, failures in systems and technology, errors in algorithms used with respect to the Funds, changes in personnel, and errors caused by third parties or trading counterparties. Although the Funds attempt to minimize such failures through controls and oversight, it is not possible to identify all of the operational risks that may affect a Fund or to develop processes and controls that completely eliminate or mitigate the occurrence of such failures or other disruptions in service.
Cyber incidents, market disruptions and operational errors or failures or other technological issues may adversely affect a Fund’s ability to calculate its NAV correctly, in a timely manner or process trades or Fund or shareholder transactions, including over a potentially extended period. The Funds do not control the cyber security, disaster recovery, or other operational defense plans or systems of its service providers, intermediaries, companies in which it invests or other third parties. The value of an investment in Fund shares may be adversely affected by the occurrence of the cyber incidents, market disruptions and operational errors or failures or technological issues summarized above or other similar events and the Funds and their shareholders may bear costs tied to these risks.
Technological developments such as the use of cloud-based service providers and/or services and the integration of artificial intelligence in systems and operations create new risks that are difficult to assess and anticipate. For example, the Funds’ service providers and market participants on which the Funds rely may use artificial intelligence (such as machine learning, generative artificial intelligence or blockchain technology) and similar technologies in the provision of services to the Funds and their operations generally. Such use may subject these service providers and market participants and, in turn, their services and operations to increased risks associated with such technologies, including risk of errors, cybersecurity, data protection and information technology risk, operational risk, and legal, regulatory and compliance risk. In addition, any controls in place designed to mitigate such risks may be ineffective and the use of these technologies may change over time, which may present new risks and vulnerabilities. As a result, a Fund may experience adverse consequences, such as operational errors, from such use of artificial intelligence and similar technologies.
In addition, the use of work-from-home arrangements or the use of contingency plans by the Funds or the Advisor (or their service providers) could increase all of the above risks, create additional data and information accessibility concerns, and make the Funds or the Advisor (or their service providers) susceptible to operational disruptions, any of which could adversely impact their operations. Furthermore, the Funds may be appealing targets for cybersecurity threats such as hackers and malware.
Legislation and Regulation Risk Related to Derivatives and Certain Other Instruments
The laws and regulations that apply to derivatives (e.g., swaps, futures, etc.) and persons who use them (including the Funds, the Advisor and others) are continuously changing in the U.S. and abroad. As a result, restrictions and additional regulations may be imposed on these parties, trading restrictions may be adopted, and additional trading costs are possible. The extent of the impact of these changes on the Funds’ investment objectives, investment strategies, and performance is difficult to predict.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”) and various exchanges have rules limiting the maximum net long or short positions which any person or group may own, hold or control in any given futures contract or option on such futures contract. The Advisor must consider the effect of these limits in managing the Funds. In addition, the CFTC has position limits rules that establish certain limits for specified physical commodity futures and related options contracts traded on exchanges, other futures contracts and related options directly or indirectly linked to such
4

contracts, and any over-the-counter (“OTC”) transactions that are economically equivalent. These position limits may adversely affect market liquidity of the futures, options and economically equivalent derivatives in which a Fund may enter. It is possible that positions held by a Fund may have to be liquidated in order to avoid exceeding such limits. These limitations may adversely affect the operations and performance of a Fund.
The SEC rule related to the use of derivatives, reverse repurchase agreements and certain other transactions by registered investment companies requires the Funds to trade derivatives and other transactions that create future payment or delivery obligations (except reverse repurchase agreements and similar financing transactions) subject to value-at-risk (“VaR”) leverage limits and derivatives risk management program and reporting requirements. Generally, these requirements apply unless a fund satisfies a “limited derivatives users” exception. When a fund trades reverse repurchase agreements or similar financing transactions, including certain tender option bonds, it needs to aggregate the amount of indebtedness associated with the reverse repurchase agreements or similar financing transactions with the aggregate amount of any other senior securities representing indebtedness when calculating the fund’s asset coverage ratio or treat all such transactions as derivatives transactions. Reverse repurchase agreements or similar financing transactions aggregated with other indebtedness do not need to be included in the calculation of whether a fund satisfies the limited derivatives users exception, but for funds subject to the VaR testing requirement, reverse repurchase agreements and similar financing transactions must be included for purposes of such testing whether treated as derivatives transactions or not. The SEC also provided guidance in connection with the rule regarding the use of securities lending collateral that may limit the Funds' potential securities lending activities. In addition, a Fund is permitted to invest in a security on a when-issued or forward-settling basis, or with a non-standard settlement cycle, and the transaction will be deemed not to involve a senior security, provided that (i) the Fund intends to physically settle the transaction and (ii) the transaction will settle within 35 days of its trade date (the “Delayed-Settlement Securities Provision”). A Fund may otherwise engage in such transactions that do not meet the conditions of the Delayed-Settlement Securities Provision so long as the Fund treats any such transaction as a “derivatives transaction” for purposes of compliance with the rule. Furthermore, under the rule, a Fund is permitted to enter into an unfunded commitment agreement, and such unfunded commitment agreement will not be subject to the asset coverage requirements under the 1940 Act, if the Fund reasonably believes, at the time it enters into such agreement, that it will have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to meet its obligations with respect to all such agreements as they come due. These requirements limit the ability of a Fund to use derivatives, reverse repurchase agreements and similar financing transactions, and the other relevant categories of transactions as part of its investment strategies. These requirements may increase the cost of a Fund’s investments and cost of doing business, which could adversely affect the performance of the Fund.
These and other regulatory changes may negatively impact a Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective either through limits or requirements imposed on it or upon its counterparties. New requirements, even if not directly applicable to the Funds, including capital requirements, changes to the CFTC speculative position limits regime and mandatory clearing, exchange trading and margin requirements may increase the cost of a Fund’s investments and cost of doing business, which would adversely affect the performance of the Fund.
The Advisor is not eligible to claim the exclusion from registration with the CFTC with respect to the Funds. As a result, the Advisor has registered with the CFTC as a commodity pool operator (“CPO”) with respect to each of the Funds, which are considered commodity pools under the Commodity Exchange Act (the “CEA”). In compliance with the CEA and certain CFTC regulations, the Advisor and the Funds are required to make certain disclosures, report to the CFTC certain information about the Advisor and the Funds and maintain such disclosures. The Funds also are subject to CFTC requirements related to processing derivatives transactions and tracking exposure levels to certain commodities. Compliance with certain of these requirements may adversely affect the Funds’ ability to obtain exposure to certain commodity interests and the commodities markets generally.
In December 2023, the SEC adopted rule amendments providing that any covered clearing agency (“CCA”) for U.S. Treasury securities require that every direct participant of the CCA (which generally would be a bank or broker-dealer) submit for clearance and settlement all eligible secondary market transactions in U.S. Treasury securities to which it is a counterparty. The clearing mandate includes in its scope all repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements of such direct participants collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities (collectively, “Treasury repo transactions”) of a type accepted for clearing by a registered CCA, including both bilateral Treasury repo transactions and triparty Treasury repo transactions where a bank agent provides custody, collateral management and settlement services.
5

The Treasury repo transactions of registered funds with any direct participants of a CCA for U.S. Treasury securities will be subject to the mandatory clearing requirement. The Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (“FICC”) is one such CCA. FICC currently operates a “Sponsored Program” for clearing of Treasury repo transactions pursuant to which a registered fund may enter into a clearing arrangement with a “sponsoring member” bank or broker-dealer that is a direct participant of FICC as a “sponsored member” of FICC.
Market participants, absent an exemption, will be required to clear Treasury repo transactions under the rule as of June 30, 2027. The clearing mandate is expected to result in each Fund being required to clear all or substantially all of its Treasury repo transactions as of the compliance date. There are currently substantial regulatory and operational uncertainties associated with the implementation of this mandate, which may affect the cost, terms and/or availability of cleared repo transactions.
Pursuant to regulatory changes effective May 28, 2024, many U.S. securities transitioned to a “T+1” (trade date plus one day) settlement cycle. Securities trading in many non-U.S. markets (among other securities) are not impacted by these regulatory changes and typically have longer settlement cycles. As a result, there can be potential operational, settlement and other risks for a Fund with a significant portion of its assets invested in securities not subject to T+1 settlement. These risks include, but are not limited to, the need to maintain more cash and liquid securities (thereby creating cash drag on the Fund’s portfolio) and a potential increase in custodial overdraft charges, in each case to facilitate settlement of Fund share redemptions on a T+1 basis.
Equity Securities
Each Fund may invest in equity securities. Equity securities represent ownership interests in a company or partnership and consist of common stocks, preferred stocks, warrants to acquire common stock, securities convertible into common stock, and investments in master limited partnerships. Investments in equity securities in general are subject to market risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Fluctuations in the value of equity securities in which a Fund invests will cause the NAV of the Fund to fluctuate. The value of equity securities may decline as a result of factors directly relating to the issuer, such as decisions made by its management or lower demand for its products or services. An equity security’s value also may decline because of factors affecting not just the issuer, but also companies in the same industry or in a number of different industries, such as increases in production costs. The value of an issuer’s equity securities also may be affected by changes in financial markets that are relatively unrelated to the issuer or its industry, such as changes in interest rates or currency exchange rates. Global stock markets, including the U.S. stock market, tend to be cyclical with periods when stock prices generally rise and periods when stock prices generally decline. Each Fund may purchase equity securities traded in the United States on registered exchanges or in the OTC market. Each Fund also may purchase equity securities traded on exchanges all over the world. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities. Equity securities are currently experiencing heightened volatility and therefore, the Fund’s investments in equity securities are subject to heightened risks related to volatility. The Funds may invest in the types of equity securities described in more detail below.
Common Stock. Common stock represents an equity or ownership interest in an issuer. In the event an issuer is liquidated or declares bankruptcy, the claims of owners of bonds and preferred stock take precedence over the claims of those who own common stock.
Preferred Stock. Preferred stock represents an equity or ownership interest in an issuer that pays dividends at a specified rate and that has precedence over common stock in the payment of dividends. Preferred stocks may pay fixed or adjustable rates of return. Preferred stocks usually do not have voting rights. In the event an issuer is liquidated or declares bankruptcy, the claims of owners of preferred stock take precedence over the claims of those who own common stock, but are subordinate to those of bond owners.
Convertible Securities. Convertible securities are bonds, debentures, notes, preferred stocks or other securities that may be converted or exchanged (by the holder or by the issuer) into shares of the underlying common stock (or cash or securities of equivalent value) at a stated exchange ratio. A convertible security also may be called for redemption or conversion by the issuer after a particular date and under certain circumstances (including a specified price) established upon issue. If a convertible security held by a Fund is called for redemption or
6

conversion, the Fund could be required to tender it for redemption, convert it into the underlying common stock, or sell it to a third party. In the event an issuer is liquidated or declares bankruptcy, the claims of owners of bonds take precedence over the claims of those who own convertible securities.
Convertible securities generally have less potential for gain or loss than common stocks. Convertible securities generally provide yields higher than the underlying common stocks, but generally lower than comparable non-convertible securities. Because of this higher yield, convertible securities generally sell at a price above their “conversion value,” which is the current market value of the stock to be received upon conversion. The difference between this conversion value and the price of convertible securities will vary over time depending on changes in the value of the underlying common stocks and interest rates. When the underlying common stocks decline in value, convertible securities tend not to decline to the same extent because of the interest or dividend payments and the repayment of principal at maturity for certain types of convertible securities. However, securities that are convertible other than at the option of the holder generally do not limit the potential for loss to the same extent as securities convertible at the option of the holder. When the underlying common stocks rise in value, the value of convertible securities also may be expected to increase. At the same time, however, the difference between the market value of convertible securities and their conversion value will narrow, which means that the value of convertible securities will generally not increase to the same extent as the value of the underlying common stocks. Because convertible securities also may be interest-rate sensitive, their value may increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. Convertible securities also are subject to credit risk, and are often lower-quality securities.
Small and Medium Capitalization Issuers. Investing in equity securities of small and medium capitalization companies often involves greater risk than do investments in larger capitalization companies. This increased risk may be due to greater business risks customarily associated with a smaller size, limited markets and financial resources, narrow product lines and frequent lack of depth of management. The securities of smaller companies are often traded in the OTC market and even if listed on a national securities exchange may not be traded in volumes typical for that exchange. Consequently, the securities of smaller companies are less likely to be liquid, may have limited market stability, and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements than securities of larger, more established growth companies or market averages in general.
Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”). MLPs are limited partnerships in which the ownership units are publicly traded. MLP units are registered with the SEC and are freely traded on a securities exchange or in the OTC market. MLPs often own (or own interests in) several properties or businesses that are related to real estate development and oil and gas industries, but they also may finance motion pictures, research and development and other projects. Generally, a MLP is operated under the supervision of one or more managing general partners. Limited partners are not involved in the day-to-day management of the partnership.
The risks of investing in a MLP are generally those involved in investing in a partnership as opposed to a corporation. For example, state law governing partnerships is often less restrictive than state law governing corporations. Accordingly, there may be fewer protections afforded investors in a MLP than investors in a corporation. Additional risks involved with investing in a MLP are risks associated with the specific industry or industries in which the partnership invests, such as the risks of investing in real estate or oil and gas industries.
Warrants. As a matter of non-fundamental policy, the Funds (except the Russell 2000® 2x Strategy Fund and Inverse Russell 2000® 2x Strategy Fund) do not invest in warrants. However, the Funds may, from time to time, receive warrants as a result of, for example, a corporate action or some other event affecting one or more of the companies in which a Fund invests. In such event, the Fund generally intends to hold such warrants until they expire. Each Fund, however, reserves the right to exercise the warrants. Warrants are instruments that entitle the holder to buy an equity security at a specific price for a specific period of time. Changes in the value of a warrant do not necessarily correspond to changes in the value of its underlying security. The price of a warrant may be more volatile than the price of its underlying security, and a warrant may offer greater potential for capital appreciation as well as capital loss. Warrants do not entitle a holder to dividends or voting rights with respect to the underlying security and do not represent any rights in the assets of the issuing company. A warrant ceases to have value if it is not exercised prior to its expiration date. These factors can make warrants more speculative than other types of investments.
Rights. Each Fund may from time to time receive rights as a result of, for example, a corporate action or some other event affecting one or more of the companies in which the Fund invests. A right is a privilege granted to existing shareholders of a corporation to subscribe to shares of a new issue of common stock before it is issued.
7

Rights normally have a short life of usually two to four weeks, are freely transferable and entitle the holder to buy the new common stock at a price lower than the public offering price. An investment in rights may entail greater risks than certain other types of investments. Generally, rights do not carry the right to receive dividends or exercise voting rights with respect to the underlying securities, and they do not represent any rights in the assets of the issuer. In addition, their value does not necessarily change with the value of the underlying securities, and they cease to have value if they are not exercised on or before their expiration date. Investing in rights increases the potential profit or loss to be realized from the investment as compared with investing the same amount in the underlying securities.
Fixed Income Securities
Each Fund may invest in fixed income securities. The market value of the fixed income securities in which a Fund invests will change in response to interest rate changes and other factors. During periods of declining interest rates, the values of outstanding fixed income securities generally rise. Conversely, during periods of rising interest rates, the values of such securities generally decline. Moreover, while securities with longer maturities tend to produce higher yields, the prices of longer maturity securities also are subject to greater market fluctuations as a result of changes in interest rates. Changes by recognized agencies in the rating of any fixed income security and in the ability of an issuer to make payments of interest and principal also affect the value of these investments. Changes in the value of these securities will not necessarily affect cash income derived from these securities but will affect a Fund’s NAV. Additional information regarding fixed income securities is described below.
Duration. Duration is a measure of the expected change in the value of a fixed income security for a given change in interest rates. For example, if interest rates changed by one percent (1%), the value of a security having an effective duration of two years generally would vary by two percent (2%). Duration takes the length of the time intervals between the present time and time that the interest and principal payments are scheduled, or in the case of a callable bond, expected to be received, and weighs them by the present values of the cash to be received at each future point in time.
Variable and Floating Rate Securities. Variable and floating rate instruments involve certain obligations that may carry variable or floating rates of interest and may involve a conditional or unconditional demand feature. Such instruments bear interest at rates which are not fixed, but which vary with changes in specified market rates or indices. The interest rates on these securities may be reset daily, weekly, quarterly, or some other reset period, and may have a set floor or ceiling on interest rate changes. There is a risk that the current interest rate on such obligations may not accurately reflect existing market interest rates. A demand instrument with a demand notice exceeding seven days may be considered illiquid if there is no secondary market for such security.
Foreign Issuers
Each Fund may invest in issuers located outside the United States directly, or in financial instruments that are indirectly linked to the performance of foreign issuers. Examples of such financial instruments include American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”), European Depositary Receipts (“EDRs”), International Depositary Receipts (“IDRs”), “ordinary shares,” and “New York shares” issued and traded in the United States. ADRs are U.S. dollar-denominated receipts typically issued by U.S. banks and trust companies that evidence ownership of underlying securities issued by a foreign issuer. The underlying securities may not necessarily be denominated in the same currency as the securities into which they may be converted. The underlying securities are held in trust by a custodian bank or similar financial institution in the issuer’s home country. The depositary bank may not have physical custody of the underlying securities at all times and may charge fees for various services, including forwarding dividends and interest and corporate actions. Generally, ADRs in registered form are designed for use in domestic securities markets and are traded on exchanges or in the OTC market in the United States. GDRs, EDRs, and IDRs are similar to ADRs in that they are certificates evidencing ownership of shares of a foreign issuer. However, GDRs, EDRs, and IDRs may be issued in bearer form and denominated in other currencies and are generally designed for use in specific or multiple securities markets outside the United States. EDRs, for example, are designed for use in European securities markets while GDRs are designed for use throughout the world. Ordinary shares are shares of foreign issuers that are traded abroad and on a U.S. exchange. New York shares are shares that a foreign issuer has allocated for trading in the United States. ADRs, ordinary shares, and New York shares all may be purchased with and sold for U.S. dollars, which protects the Fund from the foreign settlement risks described below.
8

Depositary receipts may be sponsored or unsponsored. Although the two types of depositary receipt facilities (unsponsored and sponsored) are similar, there are differences in a holder’s rights and obligations and the practices of market participants. A depository may establish an unsponsored facility without participation by (or acquiescence of) the underlying issuer; typically, however, the depository requests a letter of non-objection from the underlying issuer prior to establishing the facility. Holders of unsponsored depositary receipts generally bear all the costs of the facility. The depository usually charges fees upon the deposit and withdrawal of the underlying securities, the conversion of dividends into U.S. dollars or other currency, the disposition of non-cash distributions, and the performance of other services. The depository of an unsponsored facility frequently is under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications received from the underlying issuer or to pass through voting rights to depositary receipt holders with respect to the underlying securities.
Sponsored depositary receipt facilities are created in generally the same manner as unsponsored facilities, except that sponsored depositary receipts are established jointly by a depository and the underlying issuer through a deposit agreement. The deposit agreement sets out the rights and responsibilities of the underlying issuer, the depository, and the depositary receipt holders. With sponsored facilities, the underlying issuer typically bears some of the costs of the depositary receipts (such as dividend payment fees of the depository), although most sponsored depositary receipts holders may bear costs such as deposit and withdrawal fees. Depositories of most sponsored depositary receipts agree to distribute notices of shareholder meetings, voting instructions, and other shareholder communications and information to the depositary receipt holders at the underlying issuer’s request.
Investing directly and indirectly in foreign companies may involve risks not typically associated with investing in companies domiciled in the United States. The value of securities denominated in foreign currencies, and of dividends from such securities, can change significantly when foreign currencies strengthen or weaken relative to the U.S. dollar. Foreign securities markets generally have less trading volume and less liquidity than U.S. markets, and prices in some foreign markets can be very volatile. Foreign stock exchanges, brokers and listed companies generally are subject to less government supervision and regulation than in the United States. The customary settlement time for foreign securities may be longer than the customary settlement time for U.S. securities. Many foreign countries lack uniform 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, the costs of foreign investing, including withholding taxes, brokerage commissions, and custodial fees, generally are higher than for U.S. investments.
Investing in companies located abroad also carries political and economic risks distinct from those associated with investing in the United States. Foreign investment may be affected by actions of foreign governments adverse to the interests of U.S. investors, including the possibility of seizure, expropriation or nationalization of assets, including foreign deposits, confiscatory taxation, restrictions on U.S. investment, or on the ability to repatriate assets or to convert currency into U.S. dollars. There may be a greater possibility of default by foreign governments or foreign government-sponsored enterprises. Investments in foreign countries also involve a risk of local political, economic, or social instability, military action or unrest, or adverse diplomatic or legal developments, including favorable or unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates, foreign interest rates, exchange control regulations (including currency blockage), and possible difficulty in obtaining and enforcing judgments against foreign entities. The risks of foreign investments are heightened when investing in issuers in emerging market countries. Emerging market countries tend to have economic, political and legal systems that are less fully developed and are less stable than those of more developed countries. They are often particularly sensitive to market movements because their market prices tend to reflect speculative expectations. Trading volumes in emerging market countries also may be consistently low, which may result in a lack of liquidity and extreme price volatility.
The value of the Fund’s investments may decline because of factors affecting the particular issuer as well as foreign markets and issuers generally, such as unfavorable or unsuccessful government actions, reduction of government or central bank support and political, social or financial instability. Lack of information also may affect the value of these securities. To the extent the Fund focuses its investments in a single country or only a few countries in a particular geographic region, economic, political, social, regulatory or other conditions affecting such country or region may have a greater impact on Fund performance relative to a more geographically diversified fund. There also are special tax considerations which apply to securities and obligations of foreign issuers and securities and obligations principally traded overseas. Current conditions have had a global impact, but have exacerbated the economic, political, and social risks of certain countries and regions to a greater extent than others.

Political, Economic and Other Risks. Investing in securities of non-U.S. companies may entail additional risks due to the potential political, geopolitical and economic instability of certain countries and the risks of military and other conflicts, expropriation, nationalization, seizure, confiscation of companies or assets, or the imposition of restrictions on foreign investment and on repatriation of capital invested. In the event of such expropriation, seizure, nationalization or other confiscation by any country, a Fund could lose its entire investment in the country.
Certain foreign markets may rely heavily on particular industries or foreign capital, making these markets more vulnerable to diplomatic developments, the imposition of economic sanctions against particular countries or industries, trade barriers, and other protectionist or retaliatory measures.
As a result of any investments in non-U.S. companies, a Fund would be subject to the political and economic risks associated with investments in emerging markets. Changes in the leadership or policies of the governments of emerging market countries or in the leadership or policies of any other government that exercises a significant influence over those countries may halt the expansion of or reverse the liberalization of foreign investment policies now occurring and thereby eliminate any investment opportunities that may currently exist.
Upon the accession to power of authoritarian regimes, the governments of a number of emerging market countries previously expropriated large quantities of real and personal property similar to the property represented by the securities purchased by a Fund. The claims of property owners against those governments were never settled. There can be no assurance that any property represented by securities purchased by a Fund will not also be expropriated, nationalized, seized or otherwise confiscated. If such confiscation were to occur, a Fund could lose a substantial portion or all of its investments in such countries. A Fund’s investments would similarly be adversely affected by exchange control regulation in any of those countries.
Certain countries in which a Fund may invest may have vocal factions that advocate radical or revolutionary philosophies or support independence. Any disturbance on the part of such individuals could carry the potential for widespread destruction or confiscation of property owned by individuals and entities foreign to such country and could cause the loss of a Fund’s investment in those countries.
Political and economic developments, or adverse investor perceptions of such developments, may affect a Fund’s foreign holdings or exposures and may cause the Fund’s investments to become less liquid. The imposition of sanctions, exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), confiscations, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the United States and other governments (such as is currently the case against Russia), or from problems in share registration, settlement or custody, may result in losses. The type and severity of sanctions and other similar measures, including counter sanctions and other retaliatory actions, that may be imposed could vary broadly in scope, and their impact is difficult to accurately predict. These types of measures may include, but are not limited to, banning a sanctioned country from global payment systems that facilitate cross-border payments, restricting the settlement of securities transactions by certain investors, and freezing the assets of particular countries, entities, or persons. The imposition of sanctions and other similar measures likely would, among other things, cause a decline in the value and/or liquidity of securities issued by the sanctioned country or companies located in or economically tied to the sanctioned country, downgrades in the credit ratings of the sanctioned country or companies located in or economically tied to the sanctioned country, devaluation of the sanctioned country’s currency, and increased market volatility and disruption in the sanctioned country and throughout the world. Sanctions and other similar measures could limit or prevent a Fund from buying and selling securities (in the sanctioned country and other markets), significantly delay or prevent the settlement of securities transactions, and significantly impact a Fund’s liquidity, valuation and performance.
Futures and Options Transactions; CFTC Regulations
Futures and Options on Futures. Each Fund may engage in futures transactions and options transactions. Futures contracts provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount of a specific security at a specified future time and at a specified price. An option on a futures contract gives the purchaser the right, in exchange for a premium, to assume a position in a futures contract at a specified exercise price during the term of the option. A Fund will reduce the risk that it will be unable to close out a futures contract by only entering into futures contracts that are traded on a national futures exchange regulated by the CFTC. A Fund may use futures contracts and related options for bona fide hedging; attempting to offset changes in the value of securities held or
10

expected to be acquired or be disposed of; attempting to gain exposure to a particular market, index, or instrument; or other risk management purposes. To the extent a Fund invests in futures, options on futures or other instruments subject to regulation by the CFTC, it will do so in reliance upon and in accordance with the CEA and applicable CFTC regulations.
Due to their investments in certain futures and other instruments deemed to be commodity interests and subject to the regulatory jurisdiction of the CFTC, the Funds are considered commodity pools and subject to regulation by the CFTC under the CEA and applicable CFTC regulations. The Advisor is subject to registration and regulation as a CPO under the CEA with respect to its service as investment adviser to the Funds. Regulations imposed by the CFTC applicable to the Funds may cause the Advisor and the Funds to incur additional compliance expenses or impede the Funds' ability to implement their investment programs as contemplated.
Each Fund may buy and sell index futures contracts with respect to any index that is traded on a recognized exchange or board of trade. An index futures contract is a bilateral agreement pursuant to which two parties agree to take or make delivery of an amount of cash equal to a specified dollar amount times the difference between the index value at the close of trading of the contract and the price at which the futures contract is originally struck. No physical delivery of the securities comprising the index is made. Instead, settlement in cash must occur upon the termination of the contract, with the settlement being the difference between the contract price and the actual level of the stock index at the expiration of the contract. Generally, contracts are closed out prior to the expiration date of the contract.
There are significant risks associated with a Fund’s use of futures contracts and related options, including the following: (1) the success of a hedging strategy may depend on the Advisor’s ability to predict movements in the prices of individual securities, fluctuations in markets and movements in interest rates; (2) there may be an imperfect or no correlation between the changes in market value of the securities held by a Fund and the prices of futures and options on futures; (3) there may not be a liquid secondary market for a futures contract or option; (4) trading restrictions or limitations may be imposed by an exchange; and (5) government regulations may restrict trading in futures contracts and options on futures. In addition, some strategies reduce a Fund’s exposure to price fluctuations, while others tend to increase its market exposure.
Options. Each Fund may purchase and write (sell) put and call options on securities and on securities indices listed on national securities exchanges or traded in the OTC market as an investment vehicle for the purpose of realizing the Fund’s investment objective.
A put option on a security gives the purchaser of the option the right to sell, and the writer of the option the obligation to buy, the underlying security at any time during the option period. A call option on a security gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy, and the writer of the option the obligation to sell, the underlying security at any time during the option period. The premium paid to the writer is the consideration for undertaking the obligations under the option contract.
A Fund may purchase and write put and call options on foreign currencies (traded on U.S. and foreign exchanges or OTC markets) to manage its exposure to exchange rates. Call options on foreign currency written by a Fund will be “covered,” which means that a Fund will own an equal amount of the underlying foreign currency.
Put and call options on indices are similar to options on securities except that options on an index give the holder the right to receive, upon exercise of the option, an amount of cash if the closing level of the underlying index is greater than (or less than, in the case of puts) the exercise price of the option. This amount of cash is equal to the difference between the closing price of the index and the exercise price of the option, expressed in dollars multiplied by a specified number. Thus, unlike options on individual securities, all settlements are in cash, and gain or loss depends on price movements in the particular market represented by the index generally, rather than the price movements in individual securities.
Each Fund may trade put and call options on securities, securities indices and currencies, as the Advisor determines is appropriate in seeking the Fund’s investment objective, and except as restricted by the Fund’s investment limitations.
11

The initial purchase (sale) of an option contract is an “opening transaction.” In order to close out an option position, a Fund may enter into a “closing transaction,” which is simply the purchase of an option contract on the same security with the same exercise price and expiration date as the option contract originally opened. If a Fund is unable to effect a closing purchase transaction with respect to an option it has written, it will not be able to sell the underlying security until the option expires or the Fund delivers the security upon exercise.
Each Fund may purchase put and call options on securities to protect against a decline in the market value of the securities in its portfolio or to anticipate an increase in the market value of securities that the Fund may seek to purchase in the future. A Fund purchasing put and call options pays a premium; therefore if price movements in the underlying securities are such that exercise of the options would not be profitable for the Fund, loss of the premium paid may be offset by an increase in the value of the Fund’s securities or by a decrease in the cost of acquisition of securities by the Fund.
Each Fund may write covered call options on securities as a means of increasing the yield on its assets and as a means of providing limited protection against decreases in its market value. When a Fund writes an option, if the underlying securities do not increase or decrease to a price level that would make the exercise of the option profitable to the holder thereof, the option generally will expire without being exercised and the Fund will realize as profit the premium received for such option. When a call option of which a Fund is the writer is exercised, the Fund will be required to sell the underlying securities to the option holder at the strike price, and will not participate in any increase in the price of such securities above the strike price. When a put option of which the Fund is the writer is exercised, the Fund will be required to purchase the underlying securities at a price in excess of the market value of such securities.
Each Fund may purchase and write options on an exchange or OTC market. OTC options differ from exchange-traded options in several important respects. OTC options are transacted directly with dealers and not with a clearing corporation, and therefore entail the risk of non-performance by the dealer. OTC options are available for a greater variety of securities and for a wider range of expiration dates and exercise prices than are available for exchange-traded options. Because OTC options are not traded on an exchange, pricing is determined normally by reference to information from a market maker. It is the SEC’s position that OTC options are generally illiquid.
The market value of an option generally reflects the market price of an underlying security. Other principal factors affecting market value include supply and demand, interest rates, the pricing volatility of the underlying security and the time remaining until the expiration date. The market value of an option also may be adversely affected if the market for the option is reduced or becomes less liquid. Additionally, the market for an option may be impacted by the availability of additional expiry cycles, which may lead trading volume into contracts closer to expiration, including zero days to expiration contracts (0DTE contracts). 0DTE contracts may involve substantially greater volatility than other options contracts.
Risks associated with options transactions include: (1) the success of a hedging strategy may depend on an ability to predict movements in the prices of individual securities, fluctuations in markets and movements in interest rates; (2) there may be an imperfect correlation between the movement in prices of options and the securities underlying them; (3) there may not be a liquid secondary market for options; and (4) while a Fund will receive a premium when it writes covered call options, it may not participate fully in a rise in the market value of the underlying security.
To the extent a Fund invests in derivatives, including for hedging purposes, the Fund must comply with the SEC rule related to the use of derivatives, reverse repurchase agreements and certain other transactions. See “Legislation and Regulation Risk Related to Derivatives and Certain Other Instruments” herein.
Hybrid Instruments
Each Fund may invest in hybrid instruments. A hybrid instrument is a type of potentially high-risk derivative that 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 instrument is tied (positively or negatively) to the price of some commodity, currency or securities index or another interest rate or some other economic factor (an “underlying benchmark”). The interest rate or (unlike most fixed income securities) the principal amount payable at maturity of a hybrid security may be increased or decreased, depending on changes in the value of the underlying benchmark. An example of a hybrid instrument could be a bond issued by an oil company that pays a small base level of interest with additional interest that accrues in correlation to the extent to which oil prices exceed a certain predetermined level. Such a hybrid instrument would be a combination of a bond and a call option on oil.
12

Hybrid instruments can be used as an efficient means of pursuing a variety of investment goals, including currency hedging, and increased total return. Hybrid instruments may not bear interest or pay dividends. The value of a hybrid instrument or its interest rate may be a multiple of the underlying benchmark and, as a result, may be leveraged and move (up or down) more steeply and rapidly than the underlying benchmark. These underlying benchmarks may be sensitive to economic and political events, such as commodity shortages and currency devaluations, which cannot be readily foreseen by the purchaser of a hybrid instrument. Under certain conditions, the redemption value of a hybrid instrument could be zero. Thus, an investment in a hybrid instrument may entail significant market risks that are not associated with a similar investment in a traditional, U.S. dollar-denominated bond that has a fixed principal amount and pays a fixed rate or floating rate of interest. The purchase of a hybrid instrument also exposes a Fund to the credit risk of the issuer of the hybrid instrument. These risks may cause significant fluctuations in the NAV of a Fund.
Certain hybrid instruments may provide exposure to the commodities markets. These are derivative securities with one or more commodity-linked components that have payment features similar to commodity futures contracts, commodity options, or similar instruments. Commodity-linked hybrid instruments may be either equity or debt securities and are considered hybrid instruments because they have both security and commodity-like characteristics. A portion of the value of these instruments may be derived from the value of a commodity, futures contract, index or other economic variable.
Certain issuers of structured products, such as hybrid instruments, may be deemed to be investment companies as defined in the 1940 Act. As a result, a Fund’s investments in these products may be subject to limits applicable to investments in investment companies and to restrictions contained in the 1940 Act.
To the extent a Fund invests in derivatives, the Fund must comply with the SEC rule related to the use of derivatives, reverse repurchase agreements and certain other transactions. See “Legislation and Regulation Risk Related to Derivatives and Certain Other Instruments” herein.
Investments by Investing Funds and Other Large Shareholders
To the extent shares of a Fund are offered to certain other investment companies and other investors capable of purchasing a large percentage of Fund shares, the Fund may experience adverse effects when these large shareholders purchase or redeem a large percentage of Fund shares. A Fund is subject to the risk that large share purchases may adversely affect the Fund's liquidity levels and performance to the extent that the Fund is forced to hold a large uninvested cash position or more liquid securities and is delayed in investing new cash. A Fund's performance also may be adversely affected by large redemptions of Fund shares to the extent the Fund is forced to sell portfolio securities at a disadvantageous price or time to meet the large redemption request. Additionally, because Fund costs and expenses are shared by remaining Fund investors, large redemptions relative to the size of a Fund will result in decreased economies of scale and increased costs and expenses for the Fund. Large redemptions that necessitate the sale of portfolio securities will accelerate the realization of taxable capital gains or losses. Furthermore, purchases or redemptions of a large number of Fund shares relative to the size of a Fund will have adverse tax consequences limiting the use of any capital loss carryforwards and certain other losses to offset any future realized capital gains.
Portfolio Turnover
As discussed in the Funds’ Prospectuses, the Trust anticipates that investors in the Funds will frequently purchase and/or redeem shares of the Funds as part of an asset allocation investment strategy. The nature of the Funds as asset allocation tools will cause the Funds to experience substantial portfolio turnover. Because each Fund’s portfolio turnover rate to a great extent will depend on the purchase, redemption, and exchange activity of the Fund’s investors, it is very difficult to estimate what the Fund’s actual turnover rate will be in the future. However, the Trust expects that the portfolio turnover experienced by the Funds will be substantial. For additional information about portfolio turnover rate, please see “More Information About Portfolio Turnover” in this SAI.
Qualified Financial Contracts
Qualified financial contracts include agreements relating to swaps, currency forwards and other derivatives as well as repurchase agreements and securities lending agreements. Regulations adopted by prudential regulators require that certain qualified financial contracts entered into with certain counterparties that are part of a U.S. or foreign banking organization designated as a global-systemically important banking organization include contractual provisions that delay or restrict the rights of counterparties, such as the Funds, to exercise certain close-out, cross-default and similar rights under certain conditions. Qualified financial contracts are subject to a stay for a specified
13

time period during which counterparties, such as the Funds, will be prevented from closing out a qualified financial contract if the counterparty is subject to resolution proceedings and prohibit the Funds from exercising default rights due to a receivership or similar proceeding of an affiliate of the counterparty. Implementation of these requirements may increase credit and other risks to the Funds. Similar requirements may apply under the special resolution regime applicable to certain counterparties organized in other financial markets.
Repurchase Agreements
Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions. Repurchase agreements are transactions in which the purchaser buys a debt security from a financial institution and simultaneously commits to resell that security to the financial institution at an agreed upon price, date and market rate of interest unrelated to the coupon rate or maturity of the purchased security. The Funds have adopted certain procedures designed to minimize the risks inherent in such agreements. These procedures include effecting repurchase transactions only with large, well-capitalized and well-established financial institutions whose financial condition is continually monitored by the Advisor. In addition, the value of the collateral underlying the repurchase agreement will be at least equal to the repurchase price, including any accrued interest earned on the repurchase agreement. In the event of a default or bankruptcy by a selling financial institution, a Fund will seek to liquidate such collateral. However, exercising the Fund’s right to liquidate such collateral could involve certain costs or delays and, to the extent that proceeds from any sale upon a default of the obligation to repurchase were less than the repurchase price, the Fund could suffer a loss. While there is no limit on the percentage of Fund assets that may be used in connection with repurchase agreements, it is the current policy of each Fund to not invest in repurchase agreements that do not mature within seven days if any such investment, together with any other illiquid assets held by the Fund, amounts to more than 15% of the Fund’s net assets. Repurchase agreements with maturities in excess of seven days but which are subject to an agreement obligating the counterparty to the repurchase agreement to repurchase the collateral within seven days are not subject to this policy. A Fund’s investments in repurchase agreements, at times, may be substantial when, in the view of the Advisor, liquidity or other considerations so warrant.
To the extent a Fund invests in repurchase agreements, the Fund must comply either with the SEC rule related to the use of derivatives, reverse repurchase agreements and certain other transactions or the 1940 Act provision requiring asset coverage for certain borrowing transactions. See “Legislation and Regulation Risk Related to Derivatives and Certain Other Instruments” herein.
Reverse Repurchase Agreements
Each Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements as part of the Funds’ investment strategies. Reverse repurchase agreements involve sales by a Fund of portfolio assets concurrently with an agreement by the Fund to repurchase the same assets at a later date at a fixed price. Generally, the effect of such a transaction is that the Fund can recover all or most of the cash invested in the portfolio securities involved during the term of the reverse repurchase agreement, while the Fund will be able to keep the interest income associated with those portfolio securities. Such transactions are advantageous only if the interest cost to the Fund of the reverse repurchase transaction is less than the cost of obtaining the cash otherwise. Opportunities to achieve this advantage may not always be available, and each Fund intends to use the reverse repurchase technique only when it will be advantageous to the Fund. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the market value of the securities retained in lieu of sale by a Fund may decline below the price of the securities the Fund has sold but is obligated to repurchase. In the event the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, such buyer or its trustee or receiver may receive an extension of time to determine whether to enforce the Fund’s obligation to repurchase the securities, and the Fund’s use of the proceeds of the reverse repurchase agreement may effectively be restricted pending such decision.
Although there is no limit on the percentage of fund assets that can be used in connection with reverse repurchase agreements, each Fund does not expect to engage, under normal circumstances, in reverse repurchase agreements with respect to more than 33 13% of its total assets.
To the extent a Fund invests in reverse repurchase agreements, the Fund must comply either with the SEC rule related to the use of derivatives, reverse repurchase agreements and certain other transactions or the 1940 Act provision requiring asset coverage for certain borrowing transactions. See “Legislation and Regulation Risk Related to Derivatives and Certain Other Instruments” herein.

Short Sales
The Inverse NASDAQ-100® 2x Strategy Fund, Inverse Russell 2000® 2x Strategy Fund, Inverse Dow 2x Strategy Fund and Inverse S&P 500® 2x Strategy Fund will regularly engage in short sales transactions in which a Fund sells a security it does not own. The NASDAQ-100® 2x Strategy Fund, Russell 2000® 2x Strategy Fund, Dow 2x Strategy Fund and S&P 500® 2x Strategy Fund also may engage in short sales transactions in which a Fund sells a security it does not own. To complete such a transaction, a Fund must borrow or otherwise obtain the security to make delivery to the buyer. The Fund then is obligated to replace the security borrowed by purchasing the security at the market price at the time of replacement. The price at such time may be more or less than the price at which the security was sold by the Fund. Until the security is replaced, the Fund is required to pay to the lender amounts equal to any dividends or interest, which accrue during the period of the loan. To borrow the security, the Fund also may be required to pay a premium, which would increase the cost of the security sold. The Fund also may use repurchase agreements to satisfy delivery obligations in short sale transactions. The proceeds of the short sale will be retained by the broker, to the extent necessary to meet the margin requirements, until the short position is closed out.
If the price of the security sold short increases between the time of the short sale and the time that the Fund replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will incur a loss; conversely, if the price declines, the Fund will realize a capital gain. Any gain will be decreased, and any loss increased, by the transaction costs described above. The successful use of short selling may be adversely affected by imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the security sold short and the securities being hedged.
To the extent consistent with the 1940 Act, each Fund may use up to 100% of its portfolio to engage in short sales transactions and collateralize its open short positions.
Swap Agreements
Each Fund may enter into swap agreements, including, but not limited to, total return swaps, index swaps, interest rate swaps, and credit default swaps. Swaps are particularly subject to counterparty credit, correlation (imperfect correlations with underlying investments or a Fund’s other portfolio holdings), valuation, liquidity and leveraging risks and could result in substantial losses to a Fund and a shareholder's investment in a Fund. A Fund may utilize swap agreements in an attempt to gain exposure to the securities in a market without actually purchasing those securities, or to hedge a position or generate income. Swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors for periods ranging from a day to more than one year. 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. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are calculated with respect to a “notional amount,” i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index.
Forms of swap agreements include (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”; (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified level, or “floor”; and (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels.
Another form of swap agreement is a credit default swap. A credit default swap enables a Fund to buy or sell protection against a defined credit event of an issuer or a basket of securities. Generally, the seller of credit protection against an issuer or basket of securities receives a periodic payment to compensate against potential default events. If a default event occurs, the seller must pay the buyer the full notional value of the reference obligation in exchange for the reference obligation. If no default occurs, the counterparty will pay the stream of payments and have no further obligations to the Fund selling the credit protection.
In contrast, the buyer of credit protection would have the right to deliver a referenced debt obligation and receive the par (or other agreed-upon) value of such debt obligation from the counterparty in the event of a default or other credit event (such as a credit downgrade) by the reference issuer, such as a U.S. or foreign corporation, with respect to its debt obligations. In return, the buyer of the credit protection would pay the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no event of default has occurred. If no default occurs, the counterparty would keep the stream of payments and would have no further obligations to the Fund purchasing the credit protection.
15

Each Fund also may enhance income by selling credit protection or attempt to mitigate credit risk by buying protection. Credit default swaps could result in losses if the creditworthiness of an issuer or a basket of securities is not accurately evaluated.
Most swap agreements (but generally not credit default swaps) a Fund may enter into calculate the obligations of the parties to the agreement on a “net basis.” Consequently, a Fund’s obligations (or rights) under a swap agreement would generally be equal only to the net amount to be paid or received under the agreement based on the relative values of the positions held by each party to the agreement (the “net amount”). Other swap agreements, such as credit default swaps, may require initial premium (discount) payments as well as periodic payments (receipts) related to the interest leg of the swap or to the default of a reference obligation.
A Fund’s obligations under a swap agreement will be accrued daily (offset against any amounts owed to the Fund). Because they are two party contracts and because they may have terms of greater than seven days, swap agreements may be considered to be illiquid for a Fund’s illiquid investment limitations. A Fund would not enter into any swap agreement unless the Advisor believes that the other party to the transaction is creditworthy. In addition, the secondary market for swap agreements may be less liquid, making them difficult to sell when a Fund determines to do so. The possible lack of a liquid secondary market for a swap agreement and the resulting inability of a Fund to sell a swap agreement could expose the Fund to losses and could make the swap agreement more difficult for the Fund to value accurately. Each Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a swap agreement counterparty, or in the case of a credit default swap in which the Fund is selling credit protection, the default of a third-party issuer. Each Fund may enter into swap agreements that involve a limited number of counterparties, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit risk. Like any contract, swap agreements are subject to certain early termination events, including: failure to make payments when they become due; insolvency of either party to the swap agreement; the occurrence of an event that makes part of the swap agreement unable to be performed due to causes that are outside the control of the parties, such as natural disasters; or where a change in law renders the swap agreement ineffective or illegal. 
Each Fund may enter into swap agreements to invest in a market without owning or taking physical custody of the underlying securities in circumstances in which direct investment is restricted for legal reasons or is otherwise impracticable. The counterparty to any swap agreement will typically be a bank, investment banking firm or broker/dealer. The counterparty will generally agree to pay a Fund the amount, if any, by which the notional amount of the swap agreement would have increased in value had it been invested in the particular stocks, plus the dividends that would have been received on those stocks. The Fund will agree to pay to the counterparty a floating rate of interest on the notional amount of the swap agreement plus the amount, if any, by which the notional amount would have decreased in value had it been invested in such stocks. Therefore, the return to a Fund on any swap agreement should be the gain or loss on the notional amount plus dividends on the stocks less the interest paid by the Fund on the notional amount.
Swap agreements typically are settled on a net basis (but generally not credit default swaps), which means that the two payment streams are netted out, with a Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments. Payments may be made at the conclusion of a swap agreement or periodically during its term. Other swap agreements, such as credit default swaps, may require initial premium (discount) payments as well as periodic payments (receipts) related to the interest leg of the swap agreement or to the default of a reference obligation.
Swap agreements may be either fully funded or unfunded. Unfunded swap agreements do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets. Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to such swap agreements is limited to the net amount of payments that a Fund is contractually obligated to make. If a swap counterparty defaults, a Fund’s risk of loss consists of the net amount of payments that such Fund is contractually entitled to receive, if any. The net amount of the excess, if any, of a Fund’s obligations over its entitlements with respect to each equity swap agreement will be accrued on a daily basis and an amount of cash or liquid assets, having an aggregate NAV at least equal to such accrued excess will be maintained in a segregated account by a custodian.
The swap market has grown substantially in recent years with a large number of banks and investment banking firms acting both as principals and as agents utilizing standardized swap documentation. As a result, the swap market has become relatively liquid in comparison with the markets for other similar instruments traded in the OTC market. While liquidity has improved, the swap market remains subject to significant risks as described herein. The Advisor is primarily responsible for determining and monitoring the liquidity of Fund investments.
16

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and related regulatory developments will ultimately require the clearing and exchange-trading of many OTC derivative instruments that the CFTC and SEC recently defined as “swaps.” The Advisor will continue to monitor developments in this area, particularly to the extent regulatory changes affect the Funds ability to enter into swap agreements.
A fully funded total return swap agreement requires a Fund to make an upfront lump sum payment to the counterparty in return for the counterparty paying the investment return on an underlying “basket” or portfolio of assets. In return, the counterparty makes payments to the Fund that reflect the returns (if any) on the assets referenced by the swap agreement. The counterparty to a fully funded swap agreement generally will physically invest in the basket or portfolio of assets referenced by the swap agreement in order to manage the risk that it becomes unable to meet its payment obligations under the swap agreement.
The use of swap agreements, including credit default swaps, is a highly specialized activity which involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. If a counterparty’s creditworthiness declines, the value of the swap would likely decline. Moreover, there is no guarantee that a Fund could eliminate its exposure under an outstanding swap agreement by entering into an offsetting swap agreement with the same or another party.
To the extent a Fund invests in swap agreements, the Fund must comply with the SEC rule related to the use of derivatives, reverse repurchase agreements and certain other transactions. See “Legislation and Regulation Risk Related to Derivatives and Certain Other Instruments” herein.
Tracking Error
Tracking error is the difference between a fund's returns and those of the benchmark or index the fund seeks to track. The following factors may affect the ability of the Funds to achieve correlation with the performance of their respective benchmarks: (1) Fund expenses, including brokerage (which may be increased by high portfolio turnover); (2) a Fund holding less than all of the securities in its underlying index and/or securities not included in its underlying index being held by the Fund; (3) an imperfect correlation between the performance of instruments held by a Fund, such as futures contracts and options, and the performance of the underlying securities in the market; (4) bid-ask spreads (the effect of which may be increased by portfolio turnover); (5) a Fund holding instruments traded in a market that has become illiquid or disrupted; (6) Fund share prices being rounded to the nearest cent; (7) changes to the index underlying a benchmark that are not disseminated in advance; (8) the need to conform a Fund’s portfolio holdings to comply with investment restrictions or policies or regulatory or tax law requirements; or (9) market movements that run counter to a Fund’s investments. Market movements that run counter to a Fund’s investments will cause some divergence between the Fund and its benchmark over time due to the mathematical effects of leveraging. The magnitude of the divergence is dependent upon the magnitude of the market movement, its duration, and the degree to which the Fund is leveraged. The tracking error of a leveraged Fund is generally small during a well-defined uptrend or downtrend in the market when measured from price peak to price peak, absent a market decline and subsequent recovery, however, the deviation of the Fund from its benchmark may be significant.
U.S. Government Securities
Each Fund may invest in U.S. government securities. A Fund may invest in obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, including: (1) direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury and (2) obligations issued by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities. Included among direct obligations of the U.S. are Treasury Bills, Treasury Notes and Treasury Bonds, which differ in terms of their interest rates, maturities, and dates of issuance. Treasury Bills have maturities of less than one year, Treasury Notes have maturities of one to 10 years and Treasury Bonds generally have maturities of greater than 10 years from the date of issuance. Included among the obligations issued by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. are: instruments that are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S., such as certificates issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”); instruments that are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury (such as securities of Federal Home Loan Banks); and instruments that are supported solely by the credit of the instrumentality, such as Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). In September 2008, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) placed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in conservatorship. At the same time, the U.S. Treasury agreed to acquire $1 billion of senior preferred stock of each instrumentality and obtained warrants for the purchase of common stock of each instrumentality. Under these Senior Preferred Stock Purchase Agreements (“SPAs”), as amended, the U.S. Treasury has pledged to provide financial support to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac in any quarter which the respective entity has a net worth deficit as defined in the respective SPA, as amended.
17

Also, in December 2009, the U.S. Treasury amended the SPAs to provide Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac with some additional flexibility to meet the requirement to reduce their mortgage portfolios. The actions of the U.S. Treasury are intended to ensure that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac maintain a positive net worth and meet their financial obligations, preventing mandatory triggering of receivership. No assurance can be given that the U.S. Treasury initiatives will be successful. Other U.S. government securities a Fund may invest in include (but are not limited to) securities issued or guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration, Farmers Home Loan Administration, Export-Import Bank of the U.S., Small Business Administration, General Services Administration, Central Bank for Cooperatives, Federal Farm Credit Banks, Federal Intermediate Credit Banks, Federal Land Banks, Maritime Administration, Tennessee Valley Authority, District of Columbia Armory Board and Student Loan Marketing Association. Because the U.S. government is not obligated by law to provide support to an instrumentality it sponsors, a Fund will invest in obligations issued by such an instrumentality only if the Advisor determines that the credit risk with respect to the instrumentality does not make its securities unsuitable for investment by the Fund.
No assurance can be given as to whether the U.S. government will continue to support Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. In addition, the future for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac remains uncertain. Congress has considered proposals to reduce the U.S. government’s role in the mortgage market of both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, including proposals as to whether Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac should be nationalized, privatized, restructured or eliminated altogether. Should the federal government adopt any such proposal, the value of a Fund’s investments in securities issued by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac would be impacted. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are also the subject of continuing legal actions and investigations which may have an adverse effect on these entities. In the event that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are taken out of conservatorship, it is unclear whether Treasury would continue to enforce its rights or perform its obligations under the SPAs. It is also unclear how the capital structure of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would be constructed post-conservatorship, and what effects, if any, the privatization of the enterprises will have on their creditworthiness and guarantees of certain MBS. Accordingly, should the FHFA take the enterprises out of conservatorship, there could be an adverse impact on the value of their securities, which could cause a Fund to lose value.
Under a letter agreement entered into in January 2021, each enterprise is permitted to retain earnings and raise private capital to enable them to meet the minimum capital requirements under the FHFA’s Enterprise Regulatory Capital Framework. The letter agreement also permits each enterprise to develop a plan to exit conservatorship but may not do so until all litigation involving the conservatorships is resolved and each enterprise has the minimum capital required by FHFA’s rules.
Any controversy or ongoing uncertainty regarding the status of negotiations in the U.S. Congress to increase the statutory debt ceiling may impact the creditworthiness of the U.S. Government and the liquidity and/or market value of U.S. government debt securities held by a Fund. If the U.S. Congress is unable to negotiate an adjustment to the statutory debt ceiling, there is also the risk that the U.S. government may default on payments on certain U.S. government securities (including U.S. Treasury securities), including those held by a Fund, which could have a material negative impact on the Fund. These types of situations could result in higher interest rates, lower prices of U.S. Treasury and other U.S. government securities and could adversely affect a Fund's investments, including in other types of debt instruments.
A Fund may invest in securities issued by government agencies and sold through an auction process, which may be subject to certain risks associated with the auction process. A Fund may also invest in separately traded principal and interest components of securities guaranteed or issued by the U.S. government or its agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises if such components trade independently under the Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities program (“STRIPS”) or any similar program sponsored by the U.S. government. STRIPS may be sold as zero coupon securities.
Non-Principal Investment Methods and Risk Factors—The investment methods and risk factors described below are not considered to be principal to the management of the Funds. However, the Funds are permitted to, and may from time to time, engage in the investment activities described below if and when the Advisor determines that such activities will help the Funds to achieve their respective investment objectives. Shareholders will be notified if a Fund’s use of any of the investment methods or instruments described below represents a material change in the Fund’s principal investment strategies.
18

Investors should be aware that in light of the current uncertainty, volatility and state of economies, financial markets, geopolitical tensions, and labor and public health conditions around the world, the risks below are heightened significantly compared to normal conditions and therefore subject a Fund's investments and a shareholder’s investment in a Fund to reduced yield and/or income and to sudden and substantial losses.
Borrowing
While the Funds do not normally borrow funds for investment purposes, each Fund reserves the right to do so. Borrowing for investment purposes is a form of leverage. Leveraging investments, by purchasing securities with borrowed money, is a speculative technique that increases investment risk, but also increases investment opportunity. A Fund also may enter into certain transactions, including reverse repurchase agreements, which can be viewed as constituting a form of leveraging by the Fund. Leveraging will exaggerate the effect on the NAV per share of a Fund of any increase or decrease in the market value of the Fund’s portfolio. Because substantially all of a Fund’s assets will fluctuate in value, whereas the interest obligations on borrowings may be fixed, the NAV of the Fund will increase more when the Fund’s portfolio assets increase in value and decrease more when the Fund’s portfolio assets decrease in value than would otherwise be the case. Moreover, interest costs on borrowings may fluctuate with changing market rates of interest and may partially offset or exceed the returns on the borrowed funds. Under adverse conditions, a Fund might have to sell portfolio securities to meet interest or principal payments at a time when investment considerations would not favor such sales. Generally, the Funds would use this form of leverage during periods when the Advisor believes that the Fund’s investment objective would be furthered.
Each Fund also may borrow money to facilitate management of the Fund’s portfolio by enabling the Fund to meet redemption requests when the liquidation of portfolio instruments would be inconvenient or disadvantageous to the extent such liquidation would otherwise be required to meet redemption requests in cash. Such borrowing is not for investment purposes and will be repaid by the borrowing Fund promptly. As required by the 1940 Act, a Fund must maintain continuous asset coverage (total assets, including assets acquired with borrowed funds, less liabilities exclusive of borrowings) of 300% of all amounts borrowed. If, at any time, the value of a Fund’s assets should fail to meet this 300% coverage test, the Fund, within three days (not including Sundays and holidays), will reduce the amount of the Fund’s borrowings to the extent necessary to meet this 300% coverage requirement. Maintenance of this percentage limitation may result in the sale of portfolio securities at a time when investment considerations otherwise indicate that it would be disadvantageous to do so.
In addition to the foregoing, each Fund is authorized to borrow money as a temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes in amounts not in excess of 5% of the value of the Fund’s total assets. Borrowings for extraordinary or emergency purposes are not subject to the foregoing 300% asset coverage requirement. While the Funds do not anticipate doing so, each Fund is authorized to pledge (i.e., transfer a security interest in) portfolio securities in an amount up to one-third of the value of the Fund’s total assets in connection with any borrowing.
The Funds have established a line of credit with certain banks from which they may borrow funds for temporary or emergency purposes. The Funds may use lines of credit to meet large or unexpected redemptions that would otherwise force the Funds to liquidate securities under circumstances which are unfavorable to the Funds’ remaining shareholders. The Funds may be required to pay fees to the banks to maintain the lines of credit, which increases the cost of borrowing over the stated interest rate. If a Fund accesses its line of credit, the Fund would bear the cost of the borrowing through interest expenses and other expenses (e.g., commitment fees) that adversely affect the Fund’s performance. In some cases, such expenses and the resulting adverse effect on the Fund's performance can be significant. Moreover, if a Fund accesses its line of credit to meet shareholder redemption requests, the Fund’s remaining shareholders would bear such costs of borrowing. Borrowing expenses are excluded from any applicable fee waivers or expense limitation agreements.
Investments in Other Investment Companies
Each Fund may invest in the securities of other investment companies, including affiliated investment companies, to the extent that such an investment would be consistent with the requirements of Section 12(d)(1) of the 1940 Act, Rule 12d1-4 thereunder or any rule, regulation or order of the SEC or interpretation thereof. Generally, a Fund may invest in the securities of another investment company (the “acquired company”) provided that the Fund, immediately after such purchase or acquisition, does not own in the aggregate: (i) more than 3% of the total outstanding voting stock of the acquired company; (ii) securities issued by the acquired company having an aggregate value in excess of 5% of the value of the total assets of the Fund; or (iii) securities issued by the acquired company and all other investment companies (other than Treasury stock of the Fund) having an aggregate value in excess of 10% of the value of the total assets of the Fund. In addition, Section 12(d)(1) prohibits another investment company from selling
19

its shares to a Fund if, after the sale: (i) the Fund owns more than 3% of the other investment company’s voting stock or (ii) the Fund and other investment companies, and companies controlled by them, own more than 10% of the voting stock of such other investment company. A Fund may invest in other registered investment companies (each, an “underlying fund”) in excess of the limits prescribed by Section 12(d)(1) in reliance on Rule 12d1-4 under the 1940 Act. These investments would be subject to the applicable conditions of Rule 12d1-4, which in part would affect or otherwise impose certain limits on the investments and operations of the underlying fund (notably such fund’s ability to invest in other investment companies and private funds, which include certain structured finance vehicles).
If a Fund invests in, and thus, is a shareholder of, an underlying fund, the Fund’s shareholders will indirectly bear the Fund’s proportionate share of the fees and expenses paid by such underlying fund, including advisory fees, in addition to both the management fees payable directly by the Fund to the Fund’s own investment adviser and the other expenses that the Fund bears directly in connection with the Fund’s own operations.
Consistent with the restrictions discussed above, each Fund may invest in several different types of investment companies from time to time, including mutual funds, ETFs, closed-end funds, and business development companies (“BDCs”), when the Advisor believes such an investment is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. For example, the Fund may elect to invest in another investment company when such an investment presents a more efficient investment option than buying securities individually. A Fund also may invest in investment companies that are included as components of an index, such as BDCs, to seek to track the performance of that index. A BDC is a less common type of closed-end investment company that more closely resembles an operating company than a typical investment company. Similar to an operating company, a BDC’s total annual operating expense ratio typically reflects all of the operating expenses incurred by the BDC and is generally greater than the total annual operating expense ratio of a mutual fund that does not bear the same types of operating expenses. However, as a shareholder of a BDC, a Fund does not directly pay for a portion of all of the operating expenses of the BDC, just as a shareholder of a computer manufacturer does not directly pay for the cost of labor associated with producing such computers. As a result, the fees and expenses of a Fund that invests in a BDC will be effectively overstated by an amount equal to the “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses.” Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are not included as an operating expense of a Fund in the Fund’s financial statements, which more accurately reflect the Fund’s actual operating expenses.
Investment companies may include index-based investments, such as ETFs that hold substantially all of the component securities of a specific index. The main risk of investing in index-based investments is the same as investing in a portfolio of equity securities comprising the index. The market prices of index-based investments will fluctuate in accordance with both changes in the market value of their underlying portfolio securities and due to supply and demand for the instruments on the exchanges on which they are traded (which may result in their trading at a discount or premium to their NAVs). Index-based investments may not replicate exactly the performance of their specific index because of transaction costs and because of the temporary unavailability of certain component securities of the index. Each Fund also may invest in ETFs that are actively managed to the extent such investments are consistent with its investment objective and policies.
Lending of Portfolio Securities
Each Fund expects to lend portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and other financial organizations that meet capital and other credit requirements or other criteria established by the Board. These loans, if and when made, may not exceed 33 13% of the total asset value of the Fund (including the loan collateral). The Funds are not permitted to lend portfolio securities to the Advisor or its affiliates unless the Funds apply for and receive specific authority to do so from the SEC. Loans of portfolio securities will be fully collateralized by cash, letters of credit or U.S. government securities, and the collateral will be maintained in an amount equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities by marking to market daily. Any gain or loss in the market price of the securities loaned that might occur during the term of the loan would be for the account of the Fund. The Fund may pay a part of the interest earned from the investment of collateral, or other fee, to an unaffiliated third party for acting as the Fund’s securities lending agent. By lending its securities, a Fund may increase its income by receiving payments from the borrower that reflect the amount of any interest or any dividends payable on the loaned securities as well as by either investing cash collateral received from the borrower in short-term instruments or obtaining a fee from the borrower when U.S. government securities or letters of credit are used as collateral. The Fund will invest cash collateral received from the borrower in types of investments previously approved by the Board that are intended to be conservative in nature. Investments of cash collateral will be undertaken at the Fund’s risk and the Fund could lose money in the event of a decline in the value of such investments.
20

Each Fund will adhere to the following conditions whenever its portfolio securities are loaned: (i) the Fund must receive at least 100% cash collateral or equivalent securities of the type discussed in the preceding paragraph from the borrower; (ii) the borrower must increase such collateral whenever the market value of the securities rises above the level of such collateral; (iii) the Fund must be able to terminate the loan on demand; (iv) the Fund must receive reasonable interest on the loan, as well as any dividends, interest or other distributions on the loaned securities and any increase in market value; (v) the Fund may pay only reasonable fees in connection with the loan (which fees may include fees payable to the lending agent, the borrower, the Fund’s administrator and the custodian); and (vi) voting rights on the loaned securities may pass to the borrower, provided, however, that if a material event adversely affecting the investment occurs, the Fund must terminate the loan and regain the right to vote the securities. The Board has adopted procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the foregoing criteria will be met. Loan agreements involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the borrower, including possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to recover the loaned securities or dispose of the collateral for the loan, which could give rise to loss because of adverse market action, expenses and/or delays in connection with the disposition of the underlying securities.
Liquidity and Valuation

Many factors may influence the price at which a Fund could sell an investment at a given time. Investments are subject to liquidity risk when they are difficult to purchase or sell under favorable conditions. Investments in certain securities or other assets, such as high-yield bonds, loans or those traded in OTC markets, may be particularly subject to liquidity risk. A Fund’s ability to sell an instrument may be negatively impacted as a result of various market events or circumstances, legal or regulatory changes or other governmental policies, or characteristics of the particular instrument. In addition, market participants attempting to sell the same or similar instruments at the same time as a Fund may increase the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk. Investments in less liquid or illiquid investments may reduce the returns of a Fund because it may be unable to sell such investments at an advantageous time or price. Thus, a Fund may be forced to accept a lower sale price for the investments, sell other investments or forgo another more attractive investment opportunity. Subject to its investment strategies, a significant portion of a Fund’s investments can be difficult to value and potentially less liquid and thus particularly prone to the foregoing risks. However, liquid investments purchased by a Fund may subsequently become less liquid or illiquid, and harder to value.
Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 (the “Liquidity Rule”) under the 1940 Act, a Fund may not acquire any “illiquid investment” if, immediately after the acquisition, the Fund would have invested more than 15% of its net assets (5% of its net assets with respect to the U.S. Government Money Market Fund) in illiquid investments that are assets. An “illiquid investment” is any investment that the Fund reasonably expects it cannot sell or dispose of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. Under Rule 22e-4, investments that a Fund reasonably expects can be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment are not considered “illiquid” investments for purposes of this limitation on illiquid investments, even if the sale or disposition is reasonably expected to settle in more than seven calendar days. As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Trust has implemented a written liquidity risk management program and related procedures (the “Liquidity Program”) that are reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund’s “liquidity risk” (defined in the Liquidity Rule as the risk that a Fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the Funds without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Funds). Consistent with the Liquidity Rule, among other things, the Liquidity Program provides for classification of each portfolio investment of a Fund into one of four liquidity categories (including “illiquid investments,” discussed above). These liquidity classifications are made after reasonable inquiry and taking into account, among other things, market, trading and investment-specific considerations deemed to be relevant to the liquidity classification of the Funds’ investments in accordance with the Liquidity Program. Liquidity classifications under the Liquidity Program also reflect consideration of whether trading varying portions of a position, in sizes that the Fund would reasonably anticipate trading, is reasonably expected to significantly affect the position’s liquidity, and if so, whether that fact is taken into account when classifying the investment’s liquidity.
In addition, applicable regulatory guidance and interpretations provide examples of factors that may be taken into account in determining a particular instrument’s classification as illiquid or as one of the other liquidity categories defined under the Liquidity Rule. For example, certain loans may not be readily marketable and/or may be subject to restrictions on resale or assignments. Consequently, the Funds may determine that it is reasonable to expect that such a loan cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. To the extent that the Funds invest in
21

such loans, they may be subject to increased liquidity and valuation risks. As the market develops, the liquidity of these instruments could improve. Accordingly, loans for which there is no readily available market may be classified as illiquid investments but, at the same time, other loans may be classified as other than illiquid investments under the Liquidity Program based on relevant market, trading and investment-specific considerations (such as trading in the loans among specialized financial institutions). In addition, certain CLOs/CDOs (as discussed in the Prospectuses and elsewhere in this SAI) may be classified as illiquid investments, depending upon the assessment of relevant market, trading and investment-specific considerations under the Liquidity Program. However, an active dealer market or other relevant measure of liquidity may exist for certain CLOs/CDOs, which may result in such instruments being classified as other than illiquid investments under the Liquidity Program based on relevant market, trading and investment-specific considerations.
At times, market quotations may not be readily available and the Funds may be unable to obtain prices or other reliable information from third-parties to support valuation. In these circumstances, it may be difficult for a Fund to accurately value certain investments and the Fund may need to value investments using fair value methodologies. There are multiple methods to establish fair value and different methods or other factors may lead to different fair values. As a result, the price a Fund could receive for a security may differ from the Fund’s valuation of the security, particularly during periods of market turmoil or volatility or for securities that are thinly traded, including under current conditions, or valued using a fair value methodology or information provided by third-party pricing services. Thus, a Fund may realize a loss or gain that is greater than expected upon the sale of the security. Fair valued securities may be subject to greater fluctuations than securities valued based on readily available market quotations. Some securities, while not technically fair valued, may nevertheless be difficult to value and rely on limited and difficult to assess inputs and market data.
The SEC has proposed amendments to its rule regarding investments in illiquid investments by registered investment companies such as a Fund. If the proposed amendments are adopted, the Fund’s operations and investment strategies may be adversely impacted.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”)
A U.S. REIT is a corporation or business trust (that would otherwise be taxed as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) which meets certain definitional requirements under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Internal Revenue Code"). The Internal Revenue Code permits a qualifying REIT to deduct from taxable income the dividends paid, thereby effectively eliminating entity level federal income tax. To meet the definitional requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, a REIT must, among other things: invest substantially all of its assets in interests in real estate (including mortgages and other REITs), cash and government securities; derive most of its income from rents from real property or interest on loans secured by mortgages on real property; and distribute annually 90% or more of its otherwise taxable income to shareholders.
“Qualified REIT dividends” (i.e., ordinary REIT dividends other than capital gain dividends and portions of REIT dividends designated as qualified dividend income eligible for capital gain tax rates) are eligible for a 20% deduction by non-corporate taxpayers. This deduction, if allowed in full, equates to a maximum effective tax rate of 29.6% (37% top rate applied to income after 20% deduction). Distributions by a Fund to its shareholders that are attributable to qualified REIT dividends received by the Fund and which the Fund properly reports as “section 199A dividends,” are treated as “qualified REIT dividends” in the hands of non-corporate shareholders. A section 199A dividend is treated as a qualified REIT dividend only if the shareholder receiving such dividend holds the dividend-paying regulated investment company ("RIC") shares for at least 46 days of the 91-day period beginning 45 days before the shares become ex-dividend, and is not under an obligation to make related payments with respect to a position in substantially similar or related property. Each Fund is permitted to report such part of its dividends as section 199A dividends as are eligible but is not required to do so. 
REITs are sometimes informally characterized as Equity REITs and Mortgage REITs. An Equity REIT invests primarily in the fee ownership or leasehold ownership of land and buildings; a Mortgage REIT invests primarily in mortgages on real property, which may secure construction, development or long-term loans.
REITs in which the Fund invests may be affected by changes in underlying real estate values, which may have an exaggerated effect to the extent that REITs in which the Fund invests may concentrate investments in particular geographic regions or property types. Additionally, rising interest rates may cause investors in REITs to demand a higher annual yield from future distributions, which may in turn decrease market prices for equity securities issued by REITs. Rising interest rates also generally increase the costs of obtaining financing, which could cause the value of
22

the Fund’s investments to decline. During periods of declining interest rates, certain Mortgage REITs may hold mortgages that the mortgagors elect to prepay, which prepayment may diminish the yield on securities issued by such Mortgage REITs. In addition, Mortgage REITs may be affected by the ability of borrowers to repay when due the debt extended by the REIT and Equity REITs may be affected by the ability of tenants to pay rent.
Certain REITs have relatively small market capitalization, which may tend to increase the volatility of the market price of securities issued by such REITs. Furthermore, REITs are dependent upon specialized management skills, have limited diversification and are, therefore, subject to risks inherent in operating and financing a limited number of projects. By investing in REITs indirectly through the Fund, a shareholder will bear not only his proportionate share of the expenses of the Fund, but also, indirectly, similar expenses of the REITs. REITs depend generally on their ability to generate cash flow to make distributions to shareholders.
In addition to these risks, Equity REITs may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying property owned by the trusts, while Mortgage REITs may be affected by the quality of any credit extended. Further, Equity and Mortgage REITs are dependent upon management skills and generally may not be diversified. Equity and Mortgage REITs also are subject to heavy cash flow dependency defaults by borrowers and self-liquidation. In addition, Equity and Mortgage REITs could possibly fail to qualify for the favorable U.S. federal income tax treatment generally available to REITs under the Internal Revenue Code or to maintain their exemptions from registration under the 1940 Act. The above factors also may adversely affect a borrower’s or a lessee’s ability to meet its obligations to the REIT. In the event of default by a borrower or lessee, the REIT may experience delays in enforcing its rights as a mortgagee or lessor and may incur substantial costs associated with protecting its investments.
Restricted Securities
Each Fund may invest in restricted securities. Restricted securities cannot be sold to the public without registration under the 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 classified as illiquid investments. Restricted securities may involve a high degree of business and financial risk which may result in substantial losses. The securities may be less liquid 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 for by a Fund. Each 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 the Funds, 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 qualified institutional investor is defined by Rule 144A under the 1933 Act generally as an institution, acting for its own account or for the accounts of other qualified institutional investors, that in the aggregate owns and invests on a discretionary basis at least $100 million in securities of issuers not affiliated with the institution. A dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”), acting for its own account or the accounts of other qualified institutional investors, that in the aggregate owns and invests on a discretionary basis at least $10 million in securities of issuers not affiliated with the dealer may also qualify as a qualified institutional investor, as well as a 1934 Act registered dealer acting in a riskless principal transaction on behalf of a qualified institutional investor. Each Fund also may purchase restricted securities that are not eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A or Regulation S under the 1933 Act. The Funds may acquire such securities through private placement transactions, directly from the issuer or from security holders, generally at higher yields or on terms more favorable to investors than comparable publicly traded securities. However, the restrictions on resale of such securities may make it difficult for a Fund to dispose of such securities at the time considered most advantageous and/or may involve expenses that would not be incurred in the sale of securities that were freely marketable. Risks associated with restricted securities include the potential obligation to pay all or part of the registration expenses in order to sell certain restricted securities. A considerable period of time may elapse between the time of the decision to sell a security and the time a Fund may be permitted to sell it under an effective registration statement. If, during a period, adverse conditions were to develop, a Fund might obtain a less favorable price than prevailing when it decided to sell.
23

Structured Notes
Each Fund may invest in structured notes, which are debt obligations that also contain an embedded derivative component with characteristics that adjust the obligation’s risk/return profile. Generally, the performance of a structured note will track that of the underlying debt obligation and the derivative embedded within it. Each Fund has the right to receive periodic interest payments from the issuer of the structured notes at an agreed-upon interest rate and a return of the principal at the maturity date.
Structured notes are typically privately negotiated transactions between two or more parties. Each Fund bears the risk that the issuer of the structured note will default or become bankrupt which may result in the loss of principal investment and periodic interest payments expected to be received for the duration of its investment in the structured notes.
In the case of structured notes on credit default swaps, each Fund also is subject to the credit risk of the corporate credit instruments underlying the credit default swaps. If one of the underlying corporate credit instruments defaults, the Fund may receive the security or credit instrument that has defaulted, or alternatively a cash settlement may occur, and the Fund’s principal investment in the structured note would be reduced by the corresponding face value of the defaulted security.
The market for structured notes may be, or suddenly can become, illiquid. The other parties to the transaction may be the only investors with sufficient understanding of the derivative to be interested in bidding for it. Changes in liquidity may result in significant, rapid, and unpredictable changes in the prices for structured notes. In certain cases, a market price for a credit-linked security may not be available. The collateral for a structured note may be one or more credit default swaps, which are subject to additional risks. See “Swap Agreements” for a description of additional risks associated with credit default swaps.
To the extent a Fund invests in derivatives, the Fund must comply with the SEC rule related to the use of derivatives, reverse repurchase agreements and certain other transactions. See “Legislation and Regulation Risk Related to Derivatives and Certain Other Instruments” herein.
When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Securities
Each Fund, from time to time, in the ordinary course of business, may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis (e.g., delivery and payment can take place between a month and 120 days after the date of the transaction). These securities are subject to market fluctuation and no interest accrues to the purchaser during this period. At the time a Fund makes the commitment to purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis, the Fund will record the transaction and thereafter reflect the value of the securities, each day, in determining the Fund’s NAV. At the time of delivery of the securities, the value of the securities may be more or less than the purchase price. The Trust does not believe that a Fund’s NAV or income will be adversely affected by the Fund’s purchase of securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis.
To the extent a Fund invests in when-issued delayed-delivery securities that are not intended to be physically settled or that do not settle within 35 days, the Fund must comply with the SEC rule related to the use of derivatives, reverse repurchase agreements and certain other transactions. See “Legislation and Regulation Risk Related to Derivatives and Certain Other Instruments” herein.
Special Considerations Regarding the Use of Leveraged and Inverse Investment Strategies
To the extent discussed above and in the Prospectuses, the Funds present certain risks, some of which are further described below.
Leverage. Each Fund employs leverage as a principal investment strategy and each Fund may borrow or use other forms of leverage for investment purposes. Utilization of leverage involves special risks and should be considered to be speculative. Leverage exists when a fund achieves the right to a return on a capital base that exceeds the amount the fund has invested. Leverage creates the potential for greater gains to shareholders of a Fund during favorable market conditions and the risk of magnified losses during adverse market conditions. Leverage should cause higher volatility of the NAVs of the shares of the Funds. Leverage may involve the creation of a liability that does not entail
24

any interest costs or the creation of a liability that requires the Funds to pay interest, which would decrease the Funds’ total return to shareholders. If the Funds achieve their respective investment objectives, during adverse market conditions, shareholders should experience a loss greater than they would have incurred had the Funds not been leveraged.
Special Note Regarding the Correlation Risks of the Funds. As discussed in the Prospectuses, the Funds are “leveraged” funds in the sense that each Fund has an investment objective to match a multiple or the inverse of a multiple of the performance of an index on a given day. The Funds are subject to all of the risks described in the Prospectuses. In addition, there is a special form of correlation risk that derives from the Funds’ use of leverage. For periods greater than one day, the use of leverage tends to cause the performance of a Fund to be either greater than, or less than, the underlying index performance times the stated multiple in the fund objective.
A Fund’s return for periods longer than one day is primarily a function of the following: (a) index performance; (b) index volatility; (c) financing rates associated with leverage; (d) other fund expenses; (e) dividends paid by companies in the index; and (f) period of time.
The performance of a hypothetical leveraged fund can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the factors described above. The tables below illustrate the impact of two factors, index volatility and index performance, on a hypothetical leveraged fund. Index volatility is a statistical measure of the magnitude of fluctuations in the returns of an index and is calculated as the standard deviation of the natural logarithms of one plus the index return (calculated daily), multiplied by the square root of the number of trading days per year (assumed to be 252). The tables show estimated fund returns for a number of combinations of index performance and index volatility over a one-year period. Assumptions used in the tables include: (a) no dividends paid by the companies included in the index; (b) no fund expenses; and (c) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain leverage) of zero percent (0%). If fund expenses were included, the fund’s performance would be lower than shown.
The first table below shows the estimated fund return over a one-year period for a hypothetical leveraged fund that has an investment objective to correspond to twice (200% of) the daily performance of an index. The leveraged fund could be expected to achieve a 30% return on a yearly basis if the index performance was 15%, absent any costs or the correlation risk or other factors described above and in the Prospectuses. However, as the table shows, with an index volatility of 20%, such a fund would return 27%, again absent any costs or other factors described above and in the Prospectuses. In the charts below, unshaded areas represent those scenarios where a hypothetical leveraged fund with the investment objective described will outperform (i.e., return more than) the index performance times the stated multiple in the leveraged fund’s investment objective; conversely, shaded areas represent those scenarios where the leveraged fund will underperform (i.e., return less than) the index performance times the stated multiple in the fund’s investment objective.

The second table below shows the estimated fund return over a one-year period for a hypothetical leveraged inverse fund that has an investment objective to correspond to twice (200% of) the opposite of the daily performance of an index. The hypothetical leveraged inverse fund could be expected to achieve a -30% return on a yearly basis if the index performance was 15%, absent any costs or the correlation risk or other factors described above and in the Prospectuses. However, as the table shows, with an index volatility of 20%, such a fund would return -33%, again absent any costs or other factors described above and in the Prospectuses. In the charts below, unshaded areas represent those scenarios where a hypothetical leveraged fund with the investment objective described will outperform (i.e., return more than) the index performance times the stated multiple in the leveraged fund’s investment objective; conversely, shaded areas represent those scenarios where the leveraged fund will underperform (i.e., return less than) the index performance times the stated multiple in the fund’s investment objective.

The foregoing tables are intended to isolate the effect of index volatility and index performance on the return of a hypothetical leveraged fund. A Fund’s actual returns may be significantly greater or less than the returns shown above as a result of any of the factors discussed above and in the Prospectuses.
Investment Restrictions
Fundamental Policies
The following investment limitations are fundamental policies of the Funds and cannot be changed with respect to a Fund without the consent of the holders of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding shares. The term “majority of the outstanding shares” means the vote of (i) 67% or more of a Fund’s shares present at a meeting, if more than 50% of the outstanding shares of that Fund are present or represented by proxy, or (ii) more than 50% of that Fund’s outstanding shares, whichever is less.
Each Fund may not:
1.

More Information About Portfolio Turnover
A Fund’s portfolio turnover rate is, in summary, the percentage computed by dividing the lesser of the Fund’s purchases or sales of securities (excluding short-term securities) by the average market value of the Fund. Portfolio turnover rates can vary greatly from year to year, as well as within a particular year. The Advisor intends to manage each Fund’s assets by buying and selling investments to seek to achieve the Fund’s investment objective. Each Fund may dispose of investments regardless of the holding period. Such transactions may result in capital gains or losses and could result in a high portfolio turnover rate during a given period, which may result in increased transaction costs or a mark-up or markdown of the transaction price. The portfolio turnover rates of the Funds cannot be accurately predicted. The table below sets forth the Funds’ portfolio turnover rates during the Funds’ two most recently completed fiscal years.

The significant variations in the Funds’ portfolio turnover rates are due to the fluctuating volume of shareholder purchase and redemption orders or market conditions.
Portfolio Brokerage and Investment Allocation
The Advisor makes investment decisions for each Fund, selects brokers and dealers to effect transactions and negotiates price, commissions, and markups or markdowns or spreads, if any, with respect to these transactions. The Advisor has adopted policies and procedures that it believes are reasonably designed to obtain best execution for portfolio transactions and to allocate investment opportunities among each Fund and the Advisor’s other clients fairly, equitably and in a non-preferential manner over time.
The Advisor has discretionary trading authority on behalf of each Fund (and its other clients) and has a duty to each of those Funds (and its other clients) to seek the most favorable execution for each portfolio transaction it makes on their behalf. In furtherance of seeking the most favorable execution, the Advisor has adopted a Counterparty Approval Policy pursuant to which it maintains an Approved Counterparty List. Transactions may only be executed with counterparties/broker-dealers on the Approved Counterparties List unless an exception is granted by an authorized person under the Counterparty Approval Policy. Initially and on an ongoing basis, the Advisor consults a variety of information relating to a counterparty/broker-dealer, including regulatory reports and financial information, in connection with adding and maintaining a counterparty to the Approved Counterparty List. Generally, counterparties on the Approved Counterparty List must, in the Advisor’s opinion, have financial stability and a positive reputation in the industry. When reviewing brokers, the Advisor may consider, without limitation, the size and type of transaction, access to liquidity, execution efficiency and capability, and other factors it may deem appropriate. The Advisor uses its judgment to select a broker or dealer on the basis of how a transaction can be executed to achieve the most favorable execution for its client under the circumstances. Accordingly, the Advisor is not obligated to choose the broker or dealer offering the lowest available commission rate or the lowest possible execution cost on a transaction. The sale of Fund shares by a broker or dealer is not a factor in the selection of brokers and dealers to execute portfolio transactions for a Fund. The Advisor and its affiliates do not currently participate in soft dollar arrangements.
30

The Advisor may aggregate trade orders for one or more Funds and/or its other clients in a particular security, unless it believes that doing so would conflict or otherwise be inconsistent with its duty to seek best execution for its clients and/or the terms of the respective investment advisory contracts and other agreements and understandings relating to the clients for which trades are being aggregated. Aggregation of trade orders may result in an overall benefit to a Fund because it may achieve efficiencies in execution and reduce trading costs. The Advisor will allocate such orders in a fair and equitable manner in relation to the objectives and needs of the Funds and other client accounts involved. When feasible, the Advisor will allocate these orders prior to executing the trade in accordance with its applicable policies and procedures. In some cases, the Advisor may use various forms of pro rata or other methods of allocation that are considered to be consistent with the Advisor’s established policies and procedures. Allocations for IPOs are typically handled in the same manner as any other aggregated trade, however, the Advisor will attempt to allocate IPOs among appropriate client accounts on a pro rata basis, subject to certain adjustments.
Brokerage Transactions. Generally, equity securities are bought and sold through brokerage transactions for which commissions are payable. Purchases from underwriters will include the underwriting commission or concession, and purchases from dealers serving as market makers will include a dealer’s markup or reflect a dealer’s markdown. Money market securities and other debt securities are usually bought and sold directly from the issuer or an underwriter or market maker for the securities. Generally, a Fund will not pay brokerage commissions for such purchases. When a debt security is bought from an underwriter, the purchase price will usually include an underwriting commission or concession. The purchase price for securities bought from dealers serving as market makers will similarly include the dealer’s markup or reflect a dealer’s markdown. When a Fund executes transactions in the OTC market, it will generally deal with primary market makers unless prices that are more favorable are otherwise obtainable.
In addition, the Advisor may place a combined order, often referred to as “bunching,” for two or more accounts it manages, including any of the Funds, engaged in the purchase or sale of the same security or other instrument if, in its judgment, joint execution is in the best interest of each participant and will result in best price and execution. Transactions involving commingled orders are allocated in a manner deemed equitable to each account or Fund. Although it is recognized that, in some cases, the joint execution of orders could adversely affect the price or volume of the security that a particular account or a Fund may obtain, it is the opinion of the Advisor and the Board that the advantages of combined orders outweigh the possible disadvantages of separate transactions. In addition, in some instances a Fund effecting the larger portion of a combined order may not benefit to the same extent as participants effecting smaller portions of the combined order. Nonetheless, the Advisor believes that the ability of a Fund to participate in higher volume transactions generally will be beneficial to the Fund.
For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026, March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, the Funds paid the following brokerage commissions:

Differences, year to year, in the amount of brokerage commissions paid by the Funds (as disclosed in the table above) were primarily the result of shareholder purchase and redemption activity, as well as each Fund’s overall asset level and volatility. Changes in the amount of commissions paid by a Fund do not reflect material changes in that Fund’s investment objective or strategies over these periods.
31

Brokerage Selection. The Trust does not expect to use one particular broker or dealer, and when one or more brokers is believed capable of providing the best combination of price and execution, the Advisor may select a broker based upon brokerage or research services provided to the Advisor. The Advisor may pay a higher commission than otherwise obtainable from other brokers in return for such services only if a good faith determination is made that the commission is reasonable in relation to the services provided.
Section 28(e) of the 1934 Act permits the Advisor, under certain circumstances, to cause each Fund to pay a broker or dealer a commission for effecting a transaction in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting the transaction in recognition of the value of brokerage and research services provided by the broker or dealer. In addition to agency transactions, the Advisor may receive brokerage and research services in connection with certain riskless principal transactions, in accordance with applicable SEC guidance. Brokerage and research services include: (1) furnishing advice as to the value of securities, the advisability of investing in, purchasing or selling securities, and the availability of securities or purchasers or sellers of securities; (2) furnishing analyses and reports concerning issuers, industries, securities, economic factors and trends, portfolio strategy, and the performance of accounts; and (3) effecting securities transactions and performing functions incidental thereto (such as clearance, settlement, and custody). In the case of research services, the Advisor believes that access to independent investment research is beneficial to its investment decision-making processes and, therefore, to each Fund.
To the extent research services may be a factor in selecting brokers, such services may be in written form or through direct contact with individuals and may include information as to particular companies and securities as well as market, economic, or institutional areas and information which assists in the valuation and pricing of investments. Examples of research-oriented services for which the Advisor might utilize Fund commissions include research reports and other information on the economy, industries, sectors, groups of securities, individual companies, statistical information, political developments, technical market action, pricing and appraisal services, credit analysis, risk measurement analysis, performance and other analysis. The Advisor may use research services furnished by brokers in servicing all client accounts and not all services may necessarily be used in connection with the account that paid commissions to the broker providing such services. Information so received by the Advisor will be in addition to and not in lieu of the services required to be performed by the Advisor under the Advisory Agreement (as defined below). Any advisory or other fees paid to the Advisor are not reduced as a result of the receipt of research services.
In some cases, the Advisor may receive a service from a broker that has both a “research” and a “non-research” use. When this occurs, the Advisor makes a good faith allocation, under all the circumstances, between the research and non-research uses of the service. The percentage of the service that is used for research purposes may be paid for with client commissions, while the Advisor will use its own funds to pay for the percentage of the service that is used for non-research purposes. In making this good faith allocation, the Advisor faces a potential conflict of interest, but the Advisor believes that its allocation procedures are reasonably designed to ensure that it appropriately allocates the anticipated use of such services to its research and non-research uses.
From time to time, a Fund may purchase new issues of securities for clients in a fixed price offering. In these situations, the seller may be a member of the selling group that will, in addition to selling securities, provide the Advisor with research services. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has adopted rules expressly permitting these types of arrangements under certain circumstances. Generally, the seller will provide research “credits” in these situations at a rate that is higher than that which is available for typical secondary market transactions. These arrangements may not fall within the safe harbor of Section 28(e).
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, the Funds did not pay commissions on brokerage transactions directed to brokers pursuant to an agreement or understanding whereby the broker provides research or other brokerage services to the Advisor.
Brokerage with Fund Affiliates. A Fund may execute brokerage or other agency transactions through registered broker-dealer affiliates of the Fund, the Advisor or the Distributor, for a commission in conformity with the 1940 Act, the 1934 Act and the rules promulgated by the SEC. In such instances, the placement of orders with such brokers would be consistent with the Funds’ objectives of obtaining best execution and would not be dependent upon the fact that the broker is an affiliate of the Funds, the Advisor or the Distributor. With respect to orders placed with the broker for execution on a securities exchange, commissions received must conform to Section 17(e)(2)(A) of the 1940 Act and Rule 17e-1 thereunder, which permit an affiliated person of a registered investment company, or any affiliated person of such person to receive a brokerage commission from such registered company provided that such
32

commission is fair and reasonable compared to the commission received by other brokers in connection with comparable transactions involving similar securities during a comparable period of time. The members of the Board, including those who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, have adopted procedures for evaluating the reasonableness of commissions paid to affiliates and review these procedures periodically.
For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026, March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, the Funds did not pay brokerage commissions to the Distributor or any affiliated brokers.
Guggenheim Investments has created a Best Execution Committee in connection with the broker-dealer selection process and oversight of the best execution policies. The Best Execution Committee examines the performance of broker-dealers and, for equity trades, makes recommendations regarding the addition of potential broker-dealers. In addition, the Best Execution Committee works to mitigate potential conflicts of interest that could exist.
Securities of “Regular Broker-Dealers.” The Funds are required to identify any securities of their “regular brokers and dealers” (as such term is defined in the 1940 Act) which the Funds may hold at the close of their most recent fiscal year. “Regular brokers or dealers” of the Trust are the ten brokers or dealers that, during the most recent fiscal year, (i) received the greatest dollar amounts of brokerage commissions from the Trust’s portfolio transactions, (ii) engaged as principal in the largest dollar amounts of portfolio transactions of the Trust, or (iii) sold the largest dollar amounts of the Trust’s shares. As of March 31, 2026, the following Funds held the following securities of the Trust’s “regular brokers or dealers”:

Management of the Funds
Trustees and Officers
Oversight of the management and affairs of the Trust and the Funds, including general supervision of the duties performed by the Advisor for the Funds under the investment advisory agreement between the Advisor and the Trust is the responsibility of the Board. Among other things, the Board considers the approval of contracts, described herein, under which certain companies provide essential management and administrative services to the Trust. Once the contracts are approved, the Board monitors the level and quality of services. Annually, the Board evaluates the services received under the contracts by receiving reports covering, among other things, investment performance, administrative services, competitiveness of fees and the Advisor's profitability.
The Board currently has 6 Trustees, 5 of whom are not “interested persons” (as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act) of the Trust (each, an “Independent Trustee” and collectively, the “Independent Trustees”). Each Independent Trustee does not own, nor do any of his or her immediate family members own, any stock or other securities issued by the Advisor or the Distributor or a person (other than a registered investment company, if applicable) directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Advisor or the Distributor as of December 31, 2025. Ms. Amy J. Lee is an “interested person” (as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act) of the Trust (an “Interested Trustee”), because of her position with the Advisor and/or the parent of the Advisor.
The Trustees, their term of office and length of time served, their principal business occupations during the past five years, the number of portfolios in the Guggenheim Funds Group fund complex (the “Fund Complex”) overseen by each Trustee, and other directorships, if any, held by the Trustee are shown below. The Fund Complex includes all closed- and open-end funds (including all of their portfolios) advised by the Advisor and any funds that have an
33

investment adviser or servicing agent that is an affiliated person of the Advisor. As of the date of this SAI, the Fund Complex is comprised of 4 closed-end funds and 124 open-end funds advised or serviced by the Advisor or its affiliates.

Board Leadership Structure
The primary responsibility of the Board is to represent the interest of the Funds and to provide oversight of the management of the Funds. The Funds’ day-to-day operations are managed by the Advisor and other service providers who have been approved by the Board. The Board is currently comprised of six Trustees, five of whom (including the chairperson) are Independent Trustees. The Board generally acts by majority vote of all the Trustees and, if required by applicable laws, also by a majority vote of the Independent Trustees.
The Board has appointed an Independent Chair, Ronald E. Toupin, Jr., who presides at Board meetings and who is responsible for, among other things, participating in the planning of Board meetings, setting the tone of Board meetings and seeking to encourage open dialogue and independent inquiry among the Trustees and management. In addition, the Independent Chair acts as a liaison with officers, counsel and other Trustees between meetings of the Board. The Independent Chair may also perform such other functions as may be delegated by the Board from time to time. The Board has established four standing committees (as described below) and has delegated certain responsibilities to those committees, each of which is comprised solely of Independent Trustees. The Board and its committees meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the Funds’ activities, including through the review of the Trust’s: contractual arrangements with service providers and the Funds’ financial statements, compliance with regulatory requirements, and performance. The Board may also establish informal working groups from time to time to review and address the policies and practices of the Trust or the Board with respect to certain specified matters. The Independent Trustees are advised by independent legal counsel experienced in 1940 Act matters and are represented by such independent legal counsel at Board and committee meetings. The Board has determined that this leadership structure, including an Independent Chair, a supermajority of Independent Trustees and committee membership limited to Independent Trustees, is appropriate in light of the characteristics and circumstances of the Trust because it allocates responsibilities among the Committees and the Board in a manner that further enhances effective oversight. The Board considered, among other things: the number of portfolios that comprise the Trust and other trusts in the Guggenheim Family of Funds overseen by members of the Board; the variety of asset classes
40

those portfolios include; the net assets of each Fund, the Trust and the Guggenheim Family of Funds; and the management, distribution and other service arrangements of each Fund, the Trust and the Guggenheim Family of Funds. The Board may at any time and in its discretion change this leadership structure.
Qualifications and Experience of Trustees
The Trustees considered the educational, business and professional experience of each Board member and the service by each Trustee as a trustee of other funds in the Fund Complex. The Trustees were selected to serve on the Board based upon their skills, experience, judgment, analytical ability, diligence, ability to work effectively with other Trustees, availability and commitment to attend meetings and perform the responsibilities of a Trustee and, for the Independent Trustees, a demonstrated willingness to take an independent and questioning view of management. The Trustees also considered, among other factors, the particular attributes described below with respect to the individual Board members. References to the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills of Trustees are pursuant to SEC requirements, do not constitute holding out of the Board or any Trustee as having special expertise and shall not impose any greater responsibility or liability on any such person or on the Board by reason thereof.

Board's Role in Risk Oversight
The day-to-day business of the Funds, including the day-to-day management and administration of the Funds and of the risks that arise from the Funds' investments and operations, is performed by third-party service providers, primarily the Advisor and the Distributor. Consistent with its responsibility for oversight of the Trust, the Board is responsible for overseeing the service providers and thus, has oversight responsibility with respect to the risk management functions performed by those service providers. Risks to the Funds and the Trust include, among others, investment risk, credit risk, derivatives risk, liquidity risk, valuation risk, compliance risk and operational risk, as well as the overall business risk relating to the Funds. The risk management function seeks to identify and mitigate the potential effects of risks, i.e., events or circumstances that could have material adverse effects on the business, operations, investment performance or reputation of the Funds. Under the oversight of the Board, the service providers to the Funds employ a variety of processes, procedures and controls to seek to identify risks relevant to the operations of the Funds and to lessen the probability of the occurrence of such risks and/or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur. Each service provider is responsible for one or more discrete aspects of the Funds' business and consequently, for managing risks associated with that activity. Each of the Advisor, the Distributor and other service providers has its own independent interest in risk management, and its policies and methods of carrying out risk management functions will depend, in part, on its analysis of the risks, functions and business models. Accordingly, Board oversight of different types of risks may be handled in different ways. As part of the Board’s periodic review of each Fund's advisory and other service provider agreements, the Board may consider risk management aspects of the service providers’ operations and the functions for which they are responsible.
The Board oversees risk management for the Funds directly and through the committee structure it has established. The Board has established the Audit Committee, the Contracts Review Committee, and the Nominating and Governance Committee to assist in its oversight functions, including its oversight of the risks each Fund faces. For instance, the Audit Committee receives reports from the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm on internal control and financial reporting matters. In addition, the Board has established an Executive Committee to act on the Board’s behalf, to the extent permitted and as necessary, in between meetings of the Board. Each committee reports its activities to the Board on a regular basis, as applicable. The Board also oversees the risk management of the Funds’ operations by requesting periodic reports from and otherwise communicating with various personnel of the Trust and its service providers, including, in particular, the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer, its independent registered public accounting firm and Guggenheim Investments’ risk management personnel and internal auditors for the Advisor or its affiliates, as applicable. In this connection, the Board requires officers of the Trust to report to the full Board on a variety of matters at regular and special meetings of the Board and its committees, as applicable, including matters relating to risk management. On at least a quarterly basis, the Board meets with the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer, including separate meetings with the Independent Trustees in executive session, to discuss compliance matters and, on at least an annual basis, receives a report from the Chief Compliance Officer regarding the adequacy of the policies and procedures of the Trust and certain service providers and the effectiveness of their implementation. The Board, with the assistance of Trust management, reviews investment policies and risks in connection with its review of the Funds’ performance. In addition, the Board receives reports from the Advisor on the investments and securities trading of the Funds. With respect to valuation, the Board oversees the Advisor as valuation designee in the performance of fair value determinations of the Funds’ securities and/or other assets in accordance with Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Board has approved the Funds’ valuation policy and procedures and the Advisor’s Rule 2a-5 fair valuation policy and procedures applicable to valuing the Funds’ securities and other assets, which the Board and the Audit Committee periodically review. The Board reviews, at least annually, a written report from the valuation designee that assesses the adequacy and effectiveness of the valuation designee’s fair
42

value process and also receives periodic and prompt reporting on fair value matters from the valuation designee, in accordance with the Trust’s valuation policy and procedures. The Board also requires the Advisor to report to the Board on other matters relating to risk management on a regular and as-needed basis.
The Board oversees the Funds’ liquidity risk through, among other things, receiving periodic reporting and presentations by investment and other personnel of the Advisor. Additionally, as required by Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Trust implemented a liquidity risk management program and related procedures (the “Liquidity Program”), which is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Funds’ liquidity risk. The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the designation of a liquidity risk management program administrator (the “Liquidity Program Administrator”) which is responsible for administering the Liquidity Program. The Board reviews, no less frequently than annually, a written report prepared by the Liquidity Program Administrator that addresses the operation of the Liquidity Program and assesses its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation.
The Board oversees the Funds’ use of derivatives in accordance with Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act. As required by Rule 18f-4, with respect to each of the Funds that is not classified as a “limited derivatives user fund” (as defined in Rule 18f-4) (each a “Full Compliance Fund”), the Trust has implemented a Derivatives Risk Management Program, which is reasonably designed to manage the Full Compliance Funds’ derivatives risks and to reasonably segregate the functions associated with the Program from the portfolio management of such Funds. The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the designation of a Derivatives Risk Manager (the “DRM”), which is responsible for administering the Derivatives Risk Management Program for the Full Compliance Funds. To facilitate the Board’s oversight, the Board reviews, no less frequently than annually, a written report on the effectiveness of the Derivatives Risk Management Program and also more frequent reports regarding certain derivatives risk matters. With respect to each Fund that is classified as a limited derivatives user fund (each an “LDU Fund”), the Board oversees the Fund’s derivatives risks through, among other things, receiving written reports by the Advisor regarding any LDU Fund’s exceedance of the derivatives exposure threshold set forth in Rule 18f-4. Additionally, as required by Rule 18f-4, the Trust has implemented written policies and procedures reasonably designed to manage the LDU Funds’ derivatives risks.
The Board recognizes that not all risks that may affect the Funds can be identified, that it may not be practical or cost-effective to eliminate or mitigate certain risks, that it may be necessary to bear certain risks (such as investment-related risks) to seek to achieve the Funds' investment objectives, and that the processes, procedures and controls employed to address certain risks may be limited in their effectiveness. As part of its oversight function, the Board receives and reviews various risk management reports and assessments and discusses these matters with appropriate management and other personnel. Moreover, despite the periodic reports the Board receives, it may not be made aware of all of the relevant information of a particular risk. Most of the Funds' investment management and business affairs are carried out by or through the Advisor, Distributor and other service providers, most of whom employ professional personnel who have risk management responsibilities and each of whom has an independent interest in risk management, which interest could differ from or conflict with that of the other funds that are advised by the Advisor. The role of the Board and of any individual Trustee is one of oversight and not of management of the day-to-day affairs of the Trust and its oversight role does not make the Board a guarantor of the Trust’s investments, operations or activities. As a result of the foregoing and other factors, the Board’s risk management oversight is subject to limitations. The Board may at any time and in its discretion change how it administers its risk oversight function.
Board Committees
Audit Committee—The Board has an Audit Committee, which is composed of Angela Brock-Kyle, Thomas F. Lydon, Jr., Ronald A. Nyberg, Sandra G. Sponem, and Ronald E. Toupin, Jr., each of whom is an Independent Trustee. Ms. Sponem serves as Chair of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is generally responsible for certain oversight matters, such as reviewing the Funds’ systems for accounting, financial reporting and internal controls and, as appropriate, the internal controls of certain service providers, overseeing the integrity of the Funds’ financial statements (and the audit thereof), reviewing reports from the Advisor on portfolio securities pricing errors and errors in the calculation of the NAV of a Fund, as well as overseeing the qualifications, independence and performance of the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee is also responsible for recommending to the Board the appointment, retention and termination of the Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm and acting as a liaison between the Board and the Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee met four times during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026.
43

Contracts Review Committee—The Board has a Contracts Review Committee, which is composed of Angela Brock-Kyle, Thomas F. Lydon, Jr., Ronald A. Nyberg, Sandra G. Sponem, and Ronald E. Toupin, Jr., each of whom is an Independent Trustee. Mr. Lydon serves as Chair of the Contracts Review Committee. The purpose of the Contracts Review Committee is to assist the Board in overseeing the evaluation of certain contracts to which the Trust, on behalf of each Fund, is or is proposed to be a party to ensure that the interests of each Fund and its shareholders are served by the terms of these contracts. The Contracts Review Committee’s primary function is to oversee the process of evaluating existing investment advisory and subadvisory agreements, distribution agreements, distribution and/or shareholder services plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act and certain other agreements and plans. In addition, at its discretion or at the request of the Board, the Contracts Review Committee reviews and makes recommendations to the Board with respect to any contract to which the Trust, on behalf of each Fund, is or is proposed to be a party. The Contracts Review Committee met one time (reconvened across multiple days) during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026.
Executive Committee—The Board has an Executive Committee, which is composed of Sandra G. Sponem and Ronald E. Toupin, Jr., each of whom is an Independent Trustee. In between meetings of the full Board, the Executive Committee generally may exercise all the powers of the full Board in the management of the business of the Funds. Mr. Toupin serves as Chair of the Executive Committee. However, the Executive Committee cannot, among other things, authorize dividends or distributions on shares, amend the bylaws or recommend to the shareholders any action which requires shareholder approval. The Executive Committee did not meet during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026.
Nominating and Governance Committee—The Board has a Nominating and Governance Committee, which is composed of Angela Brock-Kyle, Thomas F. Lydon, Jr., Ronald A. Nyberg, Sandra G. Sponem, and Ronald E. Toupin, Jr., each of whom is an Independent Trustee. Mr. Nyberg serves as Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee.
The purpose of the Nominating and Governance Committee is to review matters pertaining to the composition, committees, and operations of the Board. The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for recommending qualified candidates to the Board in the event that a position is vacated or created. The Nominating and Governance Committee would consider recommendations by shareholders if a vacancy were to exist and shall assess shareholder recommendations in the same manner as it reviews its own candidates. To have a candidate considered by the Nominating and Governance Committee, a shareholder should submit the recommendation in writing, delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Trust at 702 King Farm Boulevard, Suite 200, Rockville, Maryland 20850 to the attention of the Nominating and Governance Committee, care of the Secretary of the Trust. Additional requirements and procedures relating to shareholder submissions may be communicated to the shareholder in response to the submission. The Nominating and Governance Committee periodically reviews other governance and policy matters affecting the operation of the Board and Board committees, including the Independent Trustee compensation structure. The Nominating and Governance Committee met three times during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026.
Remuneration of Trustees
The Independent Trustees of the Trust receive from the Fund Complex a general annual retainer for service on covered boards. Additional annual retainer fees are paid to: the Independent Chair of the Board; and the Chair (and Vice Chair, if any) of each of the Audit Committee, the Contracts Review Committee, and the Nominating and Governance Committee. In addition, fees are paid for special Board or Committee meetings, whether telephonic or in-person. The Trust also reimburses each Independent Trustee for reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending in-person meetings, which are not included in the compensation amounts shown below. Each Fund pays proportionately its respective share of Independent Trustees’ fees and expenses based in part on a per capita allocation and in part based on relative net assets.
The Trustees did not accrue any pension or retirement benefits as part of Trust expenses, nor will they receive any annual benefits upon retirement. The Trustees also did not accrue any deferred compensation nor is any amount of deferred compensation payable by the Trust. The aggregate compensation paid by the Trust, and the aggregate compensation paid by the Fund Complex, including the Guggenheim Family of Funds, to each of the Independent Trustees during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 is set forth below.

Code of Ethics
The Trust has adopted a Combined Code of Ethics pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act. The Advisor and the Distributor, as well as certain other affiliated entities, also are covered by the Combined Code of Ethics adopted by the Trust. The Code of Ethics applies to the personal investing activities of the trustees, directors, officers and certain employees (“access persons”) of the Trust, Advisor and Distributor, as applicable. Rule 17j-1 and the Code of
45

Ethics are designed to prevent unlawful practices in connection with the purchase or sale of securities by access persons. Under the Code of Ethics, access persons are permitted to engage in personal securities transactions, but are required to report their personal securities transactions for monitoring purposes. In addition, certain access persons are required to obtain approval before investing in private placements and are prohibited from investing in initial public offerings. The Code of Ethics is on file with the SEC and is available to the public.
Proxy Voting
The Board has delegated to the Advisor the final authority and responsibility for voting proxies with respect to each Fund’s underlying securities holdings. Certain funds of the Guggenheim Family of Funds (“investing fund”), such as a Fund, may invest in other funds of the Guggenheim Family of Funds (“underlying fund”), including another Fund, and as a result, an investing fund may be a shareholder of record of, and own shares with voting rights of, an underlying fund. With respect to a proposal that applies on a trust-wide basis (i.e., all series of the underlying fund’s trust will vote together on the proposal, e.g., election of trustees), the investing fund’s adviser will cause the investing fund to vote its shares in the underlying fund in the same proportion as the vote of all the shareholders of series of the underlying fund’s trust that are not funds managed by the advisers to the funds of the Guggenheim Family of Funds or their affiliates in the aggregate. The investing fund’s adviser may, however, elect to follow the fund or class-specific methodologies described below when deemed appropriate. As a general matter, for proposals that are fund or class-specific (i.e., each fund or class votes separately), an investing fund’s adviser will cause the investing fund to vote its shares in the underlying fund in the same proportion as the vote of all the shareholders in that underlying fund that are not funds managed by the advisers to the funds of the Guggenheim Family of Funds or their affiliates (also called “mirror” or “echo” voting). With regard to investing funds that hold shares in underlying funds that are offered exclusively to funds managed by the advisers to the funds of the Guggenheim Family of Funds or their affiliates and institutional accounts managed by such advisers or their affiliates, an investing fund’s adviser will cause the investing fund to: (i) echo vote in proportion to votes of the shareholders of the investing fund in the event that both the investing and underlying funds are voting on substantially identical proposals; or, in all other cases, (ii) seek voting instructions from the independent board members of the investing fund or an independent proxy voting service if deemed appropriate by the independent board members of the investing fund. In addition, a Fund may be required by regulation to vote its shares of another fund registered under the 1940 Act in the same proportion as the vote of all other holders of shares of such Fund.
The Advisor’s Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures (in this section, the “Procedures”) are designed to ensure that proxies are voted in the best interests of each Fund. Where the Advisor has been delegated the responsibility for voting proxies, it will take reasonable steps under the Procedures to ensure that proxies are received and voted in the best long-term interests of its clients. The Advisor will consider all relevant factors and will not give undue weight to the opinions of other individuals or groups who may have an economic interest in the outcome of the proxy vote.
The financial interest of the Advisor’s clients is the primary consideration in determining how proxies should be voted. Any material conflicts of interest between the Advisor and its clients with respect to proxy voting are resolved in the best interests of the clients. Corporate actions, such as rights offerings, tender offers, and stock splits or actions initiated by holders of a security rather than the issuer (such as reset rights for a CLO) or legal actions, such as bankruptcy proceedings or class action lawsuits are outside the scope of the Procedures.
The Advisor has adopted the proxy voting guidelines of an outside proxy voting firm, Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (“ISS”), as the Advisor’s proxy voting guidelines (in this section, the “Guidelines”). The Advisor also has engaged ISS to act as agent for the proxy process, to maintain records on proxy votes for the Advisor’s clients, and to provide independent research on corporate governance, proxy and corporate responsibility issues. The Advisor reviews the Guidelines and conducts a due diligence assessment of ISS and the performance of its duties at least annually. The Advisor may override the Guidelines recommending a vote on a particular proposal if the Advisor determines a different vote to be in the best interest of the client or if required to deviate under applicable law, rule or regulation. If a proposal is voted contrary to the Guidelines, the reasons will be documented in writing by the Advisor.
The Advisor seeks to vote securities in the best interest of clients, and will apply the Guidelines regardless of whether the issuer, a third party, or both solicit the Advisor’s vote.
In the absence of contrary instructions received from the Advisor, ISS will vote proxies in accordance with the Guidelines, as such Guidelines may be revised from time to time. The Advisor will typically vote proxies itself in two scenarios: (1) the Guidelines do not address the proposal; and (2) the Advisor has decided to vote some or all of the shares contrary to the Guidelines.
46

(1)
Proposals not addressed by Guidelines: ISS will notify the Advisor of all proxy proposals that do not fall within the Guidelines (i.e., proposals which are either not addressed in the Guidelines or proposals for which the Advisor has indicated that a decision will be made on a case-by-case basis, such as fixed-income securities). If the investment team(s) responsible, together with the Proxy Voting Advisory Group (“PVAG”) (a group comprised of representatives from investment management, compliance, operational due diligence services, operations, and legal that is responsible for overseeing the proxy voting activities and policies and procedures of the Advisor and certain affiliated entities), determines that there are no material conflicts of interest, the proposal will be voted in accordance with the recommendation of said team(s) and approval from the PVAG. If there is a material conflict of interest, the Advisor will follow the procedures outlined below.
(2)
Proposal to be voted contrary to Guidelines: When an investment team decides that a proposal should be voted contrary to the Guidelines, because it believes it is in the best interest of the client to do so, the investment team will consult with the PVAG to determine whether there is a material conflict of interest as to that proposal. If the investment team(s) responsible, together with the PVAG, determines that there is no material conflict of interest, the Advisor will override ISS’s vote recommendation in accordance with the recommendation of said investment team(s) and with approval from the PVAG. If there is a material conflict of interest, the Advisor will follow the procedures outlined below.
The Advisor may occasionally be subject to material conflicts of interest in the voting of proxies due to relationships it maintains with persons having an interest in the outcome of particular votes. Common examples of conflicts in the voting of proxies are: (a) the Advisor or its affiliates provide or are seeking to provide services to the company on whose behalf proxies are being solicited, and the amount of fees involved is or would be material to the Advisor or its affiliates, (b) an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates has a personal relationship with the relevant company’s management or another proponent of a proxy issue, and the employee may be in a position to influence the proxy voting decision, or (c) an immediate family member of the employee of the Advisor or its affiliates is a director or executive officer of the relevant company, and the employee may be in a position to influence the proxy voting decision. Senior members of the investment team(s) responsible for voting the proxy, in consultation with compliance, will decide whether a material conflict of interest exists. If a material conflict of interest exists, the investment team will consult with the PVAG to determine how to resolve the conflict consistent with the procedures below.
If the Guidelines do not address a proposal, or the Advisor wishes to vote a proposal contrary to the Guidelines, or ISS does not provide a recommendation on a proposal, and the Advisor has a material conflict of interest as to the vote, then the Advisor may resolve the conflict in any of the following ways, as recommended by the PVAG:
Refer Proposal to the Client - the Advisor may refer the proposal to the client and obtain instructions from the client on how to vote the proxy relating to that proposal.
Obtain Client Ratification - if the Advisor is in a position to disclose the conflict to the client (i.e., such information is not confidential), the Advisor may determine how it proposes to vote the proposal on which it has a conflict, fully disclose the nature of the conflict to the client, and obtain the client’s consent for how the Advisor will vote on the proposal (or otherwise obtain instructions from the client on how the proxy on the proposal should be voted).
Abstaining from voting.
Use another Independent Third Party for All Proposals - subject to any client-imposed proxy voting policies, the Advisor may vote all proposals in a single proxy according to the policies of an independent third party other than ISS (or have the third party vote such proxies).
Use another Independent Third Party to Vote Only the Specific Proposals that Involve a Conflict - subject to any client-imposed proxy voting policies, the Advisor may use an independent third party other than ISS to recommend how the proxy for specific proposals that involve a conflict should be voted (or have the third party vote such proxies).
Demonstrate that its Vote was Not the Product of a Material Conflict – in limited situations, the Advisor may be able to demonstrate that its vote was not the product of a conflict. For example, the Advisor may be able to demonstrate that an investment team recommending an override of a proxy voting recommendation was insulated from the conflict or used a predetermined policy to arrive at its view.
The method selected by the PVAG to resolve the conflict may vary from one instance to another depending upon the facts and circumstances of the situation, but in each case, consistent with the Advisor’s duty of loyalty and care.
47

In certain instances, proxy voting involves logistical issues which affect the Advisor’s ability to vote such proxies, as well as the desirability of voting such proxies. These issues include but are not limited to: (i) securities being subject to lending arrangements; (ii) special issues with voting foreign proxies; (iii) share blocking; and (iv) lack of adequate information, untimely receipt of proxy, or excessive costs.
Where a proxy proposal pertains to a security on loan pursuant to a Fund’s securities lending arrangement, the Advisor will refrain from voting such securities where they determine, in their discretion and consistent with their fiduciary duties, that the costs to the Fund and/or the administrative inconvenience of retrieving securities then on loan outweighs the benefit of voting.
With regard to voting proxies of foreign companies, voting such proxies may involve significantly greater effort and corresponding cost due to the variety of regulatory schemes and corporate practices in foreign countries with respect to proxy voting. Because the cost of voting on a particular proxy proposal could exceed the expected benefit to a Fund, the Advisor may weigh the costs and benefits of voting on proxy proposals relating to foreign securities and make an informed decision on whether voting a given proxy proposal is prudent.
The Advisor may be unable to enter an informed vote in certain circumstances due to the lack of information provided in the proxy statement or by the issuer or other resolution sponsor, and may abstain from voting in those instances. Proxy materials not delivered in a timely manner may prevent analysis or entry of a vote by voting deadlines.
The Advisor will provide clients with a copy of its Procedures upon written request and will make specific voting information relating to a client available to that client upon written request.
The Funds are required to file Form N-PX with the SEC with their complete proxy voting records for the 12 months ended June 30, no later than August 31 of each year. Once filed, Form N-PX is available without charge: (1) from the Funds, upon request by calling 1-800-820-0888, and (2) on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Funds also make available their proxy voting record included in their Form N-PX filing at https://www.guggenheiminvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature.
Investment Advisory Services
Pursuant to an Advisory Agreement, dated March 1, 2012, between the Trust and the Advisor (the “Advisory Agreement”), the Advisor, principally located at 330 Madison Avenue, 10th Floor, New York, New York 10017, serves as investment adviser and provides portfolio management services to each Fund. The Advisor is a Kansas limited liability company, doing business since November 27, 1961, and has been a federally-registered investment adviser since 1971. The Advisor also is registered as a CPO with the CFTC and National Futures Association with respect to the Funds. The Advisor does business as Guggenheim Investments and is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Guggenheim Capital, LLC (“Guggenheim Capital”), an affiliate of Guggenheim Partners, LLC. Guggenheim Partners, LLC is a global, diversified financial services firm that, together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, provides clients with a broad array of investment management, broker-dealer, investment banking, and other services.
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor serves as the investment adviser for each series of the Trust and provides investment advice to the Funds, in accordance with the investment objectives, policies and limitations of the Funds, and oversees the day-to-day operations of the Funds, subject to the general supervision and control of the Board and the officers of the Trust. The Advisor bears all costs associated with providing these advisory services and the expenses of the Board members who are affiliated with or interested persons of the Advisor. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, each Fund pays the Advisor a fee, which is calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.90% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. The Advisor may, from time to time reimburse certain expenses of the Funds in order to limit the Funds’ operating expenses as described in the Funds’ Prospectuses. The Advisor, from its own resources, including profits from advisory fees received from the Funds, provided such fees are legitimate and not excessive, may make payments to broker-dealers and other financial institutions for their expenses in connection with the distribution of Fund shares, and otherwise currently pay all distribution costs for Fund shares.

Information Regarding Potential Conflicts of Interest
Potential Conflicts Related to the Sale of Fund Shares. The Advisor, its affiliates and their respective employees may have relationships with distributors, consultants and others who recommend, or engage in transactions with or for, the Funds. The Funds and/or the Advisor or its affiliates may compensate such distributors, consultants and other parties in connection with such relationships. As a result of these relationships, distributors, consultants and other parties may have conflicts that create incentives for them to promote the Funds over other funds or financial products.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Advisor and its affiliates and the Funds may make payments to authorized dealers and other financial intermediaries and to salespersons to promote the Funds. These payments may be made out of the assets of the Advisor or its affiliates or amounts payable to the Advisor or its affiliates. These payments may create an incentive for such persons to highlight, feature or recommend the Funds over other funds or financial products.
Potential Conflicts Related to Management of the Funds by the Advisor. The following are descriptions of certain conflicts, financial or otherwise, that the Advisor and its employees may have in managing the Funds. The descriptions below are not intended to be a complete enumeration or explanation of all of the conflicts of interests that may arise from the business activities of the Advisor, its affiliates, or their respective clients. To address these and other actual or potential conflicts, the Advisor and the Funds have established various policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to identify and mitigate such conflicts and to ensure that such conflicts are appropriately resolved taking into consideration the best interest of all clients involved, consistent with the Advisor’s fiduciary obligations and in accordance with applicable law. However, there can be no guarantee that these policies and procedures will be successful in every instance. In certain cases, transactions involving potential conflicts of interest described below may be elevated for review by a conflicts review committee, the members of which are senior personnel of the Advisor’s affiliates and are not employees or clients of the Advisor.
Additional information about potential conflicts of interest regarding the Advisor is set forth in the Advisor’s Form ADV. A copy of Part 1 and Part 2A of the Advisor’s Form ADV is available on the SEC’s website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov.
The Advisor and Its Affiliates Provide a Broad Array of Services and Have Various Investment Banking, Advisory and Other Relationships. The Advisor is an affiliate of Guggenheim Partners, LLC (“Guggenheim Partners”), which is a global, full service financial services firm. Guggenheim Partners and its affiliates, including the Advisor (collectively, “Guggenheim Entities”), provide their clients with a broad array of investment management, insurance, broker-dealer, investment banking and other similar services (“Other Business Activities”). These Other Business Activities create actual and potential conflicts of interest for the Advisor in managing the Funds.
For example, the Other Business Activities may create conflicts between the interests of a Fund, on the one hand, and the interests of the Advisor, its affiliates and their respective other clients, on the other hand. The Advisor and its affiliates may act as advisers to clients in investment banking, loan arranging and structuring, financial advisory, restructuring, liability management, asset management and other capacities related to securities and instruments that may be purchased, sold or held by a Fund, and the Advisor or an affiliate may issue, or be engaged as underwriter for the issuer of, securities and instruments that a Fund may (in accordance with applicable rules) purchase, sell or hold. At times, these activities may cause the Advisor and its affiliates to give advice to their clients
50

that may cause these clients to take actions in conflict with, or that are adverse to, the interests of a Fund. In addition, Guggenheim Entities may take action that differs from, potentially conflicts with, or is adverse to advice given or action taken for the Advisor’s clients, including the Funds. The Guggenheim Entities and their respective officers, directors, managing directors, partners, employees and consultants may act in a proprietary capacity with long or short positions in securities and instruments of all types, including those that may be purchased, sold or held by a Fund. Such activities can give rise to interests different from or adverse to those of the Fund, and they could affect the prices and availability of the securities and instruments that a Fund holds or that the Advisor seeks to buy or sell for a Fund’s account, which could adversely impact the financial returns of the Funds.
These Other Business Activities may create other potential conflicts of interests in managing the Funds, may cause the Funds to be subject to additional regulatory limits and, in certain circumstances, may prevent a Fund from participating or limit a Fund's participation in an investment opportunity that the Funds portfolio managers view to be favorable. As a result, activities and dealings of the Advisor and its affiliates may affect the Funds in ways that may disadvantage or restrict the Funds or be deemed to benefit the Advisor, its affiliates or other client accounts.
The Advisor’s and Its Affiliates’ Activities on Behalf of Other Clients. The Advisor and its affiliates currently manage and expect to continue to manage a variety of other client accounts, including (without limitation) separately managed accounts (including through the Advisor’s participation in third-party sponsored separately managed account programs through which the Advisor provides discretionary sub-advisory services to individuals and other investors), open-end registered funds, closed-end registered funds, private funds and other collective investment vehicles, and may serve as asset or collateral manager or in other capacities for certain non-registered structured products (collectively, “Other Clients”). Such Other Clients, and investors in Other Clients, include insurance companies affiliated with or related to the Advisor, as described below. Other Clients invest pursuant to the same or different investment objectives, strategies and philosophies as those employed by the Funds and may seek to make or sell investments in the same securities, instruments, sectors or strategies as the Funds. This “side-by-side” management of multiple accounts may create potential conflicts, particularly in circumstances where the availability or liquidity of investment opportunities is limited, or when accounts trade in opposite directions. For example, there is a risk that sales (including short sales) of one client portfolio security adversely affect the market value of securities held in another client portfolio, or trading terms could be adversely affected when opposite trades are executed. There is a risk that a Fund will compete with Other Clients for an investment opportunity in a manner that reduces the availability of such investment opportunity for the Fund. The Advisor is also affiliated with other investment advisers, both registered and unregistered, that provide investment advice with respect to the same types of instruments or similar investment strategies as the Advisor. There is a risk that the clients of these other advisers will compete with the Advisor’s clients, including the Funds, for limited investment opportunities. This risk is heightened when an investment in such investment opportunity is executed on behalf of a client of such other advisers through a trading desk separate from the one utilized by the Advisor. In addition, Other Clients may also be subject to different legal restrictions or regulatory regimes than the Funds. Regardless of the similarity in investment objectives and strategies between the Funds and Other Clients, the Advisor may give advice and recommend investments to Other Clients that may differ from advice given to, or investments bought or sold for, the Funds, and the Funds and Other Clients may vote differently on or take or refrain from taking different actions with respect to the same security or instrument. Furthermore, the manner in which the Advisor executes a strategy for the Funds may differ from how that same or similar strategy is executed for Other Clients due to, for example, investment restrictions imposed by the Funds or the Other Client. These practices, limitations and conflicts may be disadvantageous to the Funds and adversely affect their performance.
The investment policies, fee arrangements and other characteristics of the Funds may also vary from those of Other Clients. In some cases, the Advisor or an affiliate may receive a potentially larger financial benefit from managing one or more such Other Clients as compared to the Funds (for example, some Other Clients are charged performance or incentive fees constituting a percentage of profits or gains), which may provide an incentive to favor such Other Clients over the Funds or to recommend favorable investments to Other Clients who pay higher fees or who have the potential to generate greater fees over the Funds. The Advisor, on behalf of the Funds or Other Clients, may, pursuant to one transaction or in a series of transactions over time, invest in different parts of an issuer’s or borrower’s capital structure (including but not limited to investments in public versus private securities, investments in debt versus equity, or investments in senior versus subordinated debt or when the same or similar investments have different rights or benefits), depending on the respective client’s investment objectives and policies. Relevant issuers or borrowers may also include special purpose issuers or borrowers in structured finance, asset backed, collateralized loan obligation, collateralized debt obligation or similar transactions. As a result of the foregoing, the interests of one group of clients could conflict with those of other clients with respect to the same issuer or borrower.
51

In managing such investments, the Advisor will consider the interests of all affected clients in deciding what actions to take with respect to a given issuer or borrower, but at times will pursue or enforce rights on behalf of some clients in a manner that may have an adverse effect on, or result in asymmetrical financial outcomes to, other clients owning a different, including more senior or junior, investment in the same issuer or borrower. In these types of scenarios, the Advisor may occasionally engage and appoint an independent party to provide independent analysis or recommendations with respect to consents, proxy voting, or other similar shareholder or debt holder rights decision (or a series of consents, votes or similar decisions) pertaining to the Funds and other clients. These potential conflicts of interests between the Advisor’s clients may become more pronounced in situations in which an issuer or borrower experiences financial or operational challenges, or as a result of a Fund’s use of certain investment strategies, including small-capitalization, emerging market, distressed or less liquid strategies.
Advisor Activities on Behalf of Affiliated or Related Accounts. Certain companies hold an economic interest in Guggenheim Capital, LLC (“Guggenheim Capital”), the Advisor’s ultimate parent company. Where such companies and/or their affiliates are clients of the Advisor and/or its affiliates, conflicts of interest arise because, among other reasons, the Advisor and/or its affiliates have an incentive to favor such clients over others. These incentives are more pronounced where the Advisor and/or its affiliates have multiple clients that are associated with, or that are affiliates of, these companies.
For example, Sammons Enterprises, Inc., a diversified company with several insurance company subsidiaries (together with its subsidiaries, “Sammons”), holds an indirect, substantial economic interest in Guggenheim Capital. As a result of its ownership stake in Guggenheim Capital, Sammons is a substantial owner of the Advisor and its affiliates. Certain of Sammons’ wholly owned insurance company and other subsidiaries are advisory clients of, and pay fees to, the Advisor and/or its affiliates. As a result, Sammons is a significant source of annual advisory fees paid to the Advisor and/or its affiliates. Sammons also has other relationships with the Advisor and various Guggenheim Entities. These relationships create conflicts of interest and an incentive for the Advisor and/or its affiliates to favor Sammons’s interests.
Similarly, TWG Global, LLC, a diversified company with several subsidiaries (together with its subsidiaries, “TWG”), holds an indirect, substantial economic interest in Guggenheim Capital, and thus is an indirect substantial owner of the Advisor and its affiliates. Further, TWG is controlled by a senior officer of Guggenheim Capital. Certain of TWG’s subsidiaries are advisory clients of, and pay fees to, the Advisor and/or its affiliates. As a result, TWG is a significant individual source of annual advisory fees paid to the Advisor and/or its affiliates. TWG also has other relationships with the Advisor and various Guggenheim Entities. These relationships create conflicts of interest and an incentive for the Advisor and/or its affiliates to favor TWG’s interests. For example, an affiliate of the Advisor invests on behalf of its other clients in issuers in which TWG has direct and/or indirect interests, which in certain cases include a controlling or significant beneficial interest. In addition, from time to time, the TWG accounts and other Advisor and/or affiliate clients invest in securities at different levels of the capital structure of the same issuer, in some cases at the same time and in other cases at different times. These transactions often benefit TWG and its affiliates.
Certain Guggenheim Entities have entered into a services agreement with TWG pursuant to which TWG may provide various services to the Advisor and its affiliates, including, among others, technology services, marketing consulting, and introductions to potential sources of originated transactions. TWG may also refer potential investors from time to time. Due to the common ownership of the Advisor and its affiliates and TWG, the Advisor and/or its affiliates would have an incentive to direct investments to clients affiliated with TWG. However, pursuant to the services agreement, the Advisor and/or its affiliates will make independent investment decisions. Guggenheim Entities also provide services to TWG including, among others, review, analysis and evaluation of assets, investment operations and technology services. A Guggenheim Entity receives compensation from TWG for the provision of these services. Affiliates of TWG also provide services to certain advisory clients of other Guggenheim Entities for a fee. The Advisor and/or its affiliates have an incentive to recommend such service providers to its clients given TWG’s relationship with the Advisor and its affiliates.
Certain officers and directors of Guggenheim Capital and its subsidiaries (each, a “Guggenheim Related Person”) hold direct or indirect economic or voting interests in entities that are clients of the Advisor and/or its affiliates (such individuals or entities, “Guggenheim Related Parties”). Like the Sammons accounts and TWG accounts, these Guggenheim Related Parties pay substantial advisory fees to the Advisor and/or its affiliates. Furthermore, certain Guggenheim Related Parties may provide significant loans and other financing to the Advisor and its affiliates, both directly and from or through accounts managed by the Advisor or an affiliate or to which the Advisor provides certain operations services for a fee. These relationships create conflicts of interest and an incentive for the Advisor to favor the interests of these Guggenheim Related Parties.
52

These types of relationships create potential conflicts of interest for the Advisor in managing the Trust and could create an incentive for the Advisor to favor the interests of Guggenheim Related Parties over the Trust or Other Clients. For example, the Advisor may invest on behalf of the Funds and Other Clients in issuers in which a Guggenheim Related Party has direct and/or indirect interests, which in certain cases include a controlling or significant beneficial interest. In addition, a Guggenheim Related Party, the Funds and Other Clients may invest in securities at different levels of the capital structure of the same issuer, in some cases at the same time and in other cases at different times. These transactions often benefit the participating Guggenheim Related Party. The following conflicts may arise in such situations: (i) enforcement of rights or determination not to enforce rights by the Advisor on behalf of the Funds and Other Clients may have an adverse effect on the interests of the Advisor’s clients, including the Funds, (ii) the Advisor may have an incentive to invest client assets, including Fund assets, in the issuer or borrower to either facilitate or obtain preferable terms for a proposed investment by an affiliate or Guggenheim Related Party in such issuer or borrower, or (iii) the Advisor may have an incentive to preserve or protect the value or rights associated with an existing economic interest of an affiliate or Guggenheim Related Party in the issuer or borrower, which may have an adverse effect on the interests of the Advisor’s clients, including the Funds.
Furthermore, Guggenheim Related Persons from time to time enter into transactions, including loans and other financings, with these companies. As a result, such personnel have an incentive to favor the interests of these clients over other clients of the Advisor.
To the extent permitted by the 1940 Act and other laws, the Advisor, from time to time, may initiate or recommend transactions in the loans or securities of companies in which the Advisor, its related persons, or their respective affiliates have a controlling or other material direct or indirect interest. In addition, some Guggenheim Related Persons also may have economic interests or voting interests in issuers, which may be controlling or otherwise material interests, or may serve as a director on the board of issuers, in which the Advisor has invested or will invest on behalf of their clients or to which the Advisor has provided or will provide financing on behalf of their clients.
In addition, Guggenheim Related Persons have direct or indirect proprietary or personal investments in and/or have financial or other relationships with financial industry participants or other entities that may perform services on behalf of, or in connection with, investments made by the Advisor on behalf of its clients.
In addition, the Advisor may be subject to conflicts of interest with respect to financial industry participants or other entities (including trading platforms) because transactions on or through such platforms may result in compensation directly being paid to these entities that indirectly benefits Guggenheim Related Persons.
The Advisor identifies and mitigates potential conflicts of interest in the foregoing and similar situations, including through policies and procedures (i) designed to identify and mitigate conflicts of interest on a transaction-by-transaction basis and (ii) that require investment decisions for all client accounts be made independently from those of other client accounts and be made with specific reference to the individual needs and objectives of each client account, without consideration of the Advisor’s pecuniary or investment interests (or those of their respective employees or affiliates). The Funds and the Advisor also maintain procedures to comply with applicable laws, notably relevant provisions of the 1940 Act that prohibit Fund transactions with affiliates (or exemptive rules thereunder).
Allocation of Investment Opportunities; Co-Investments. As described above, the Advisor and its affiliates currently manage and expect to continue to manage Other Clients that may invest pursuant to the same or different strategies as those employed by the Funds, and such Other Clients could be viewed as being in competition with the Funds for appropriate investment opportunities, particularly where there is limited capacity with respect to such investment opportunities. The investment policies, fee arrangements and other circumstances of the Funds may vary from those of the Other Clients, and the Advisor may face potential conflicts of interest because the Advisor may have an incentive to favor particular client accounts (such as client accounts that pay performance-based fees) over other client accounts that may be less lucrative in the allocation of investment opportunities.
The Advisor’s relationships with Other Clients that are Guggenheim Related Parties pose conflicts of interest in transactions that involve the allocation of investment opportunities among Guggenheim Related Parties and other clients, including the Funds, because the Advisor has an incentive to favor Guggenheim Related Parties. These incentives are more pronounced where the Advisor has multiple relationships with a Guggenheim Related Party, as is in the case of Sammons and TWG. As described below, the Advisor has established policies and procedures for addressing actual and potential conflicts of interest.
53

In addition to conflicts of interest associated with allocations among clients, the Advisor and its affiliates face conflicts of interest in transactions involving the allocation of investment opportunities among clients and third-party co-investors, including third-party co-investors with which the Advisor or an affiliate has entered into an agreement that provides the third-party co-investor an opportunity to invest alongside the Advisor’s or its affiliate’s clients and for the Advisor (or its affiliates) to receive a fee in connection with providing administrative or other non-advisory services in respect of the investment that the third-party co-investor acquires (each, a “Strategic Partner”). For example, the Advisor or its affiliates are permitted to receive a fee in connection with providing services to loans or commercial real estate mortgages, military housing transactions and infrastructure transactions that a Strategic Partner acquires. When the Advisor offers to allocate portions of certain investments to a Strategic Partner, the acquisition of the allocated portion of an investment by a Strategic Partner is in the sole discretion of the Strategic Partner (or the Strategic Partner’s adviser). As a result of the foregoing, in certain circumstances, if an investment opportunity is appropriate for more than one client and/or meets the criteria established with respect to a Strategic Partner, the Advisor will face a conflict of interest in determining how to allocate the investment opportunity and, in certain circumstances, the Advisor will have an incentive to allocate less of the opportunity to a client, including the Funds, than it might otherwise be the case if the investment was not also appropriate for multiple clients and/or the Strategic Partner. However, such potential conflict of interest is mitigated by the Advisor’s allocation policies and procedures with respect to the allocation of investment opportunities.
The Advisor and/or its affiliates expect to offer, subject to its allocation policies and procedures, any allocation available to affiliated and unaffiliated strategic co-investors, including Strategic Partners and TWG and its affiliates. The Advisor expects conflicts of interest to arise in determining the amount of investment opportunity that should be allocated to the relevant co-investor. The Advisor will determine how and when to allocate a co-investment opportunity, including the amounts offered to each such investor, taking into account any factors it deems relevant, which could include, without limitation, the sophistication of the prospective co-investor; the ability of the co-investor to close the transaction quickly; tax, regulatory, securities laws and/or other legal considerations; size of the investment allocation and practicality of dividing it up among multiple co-investors; lender requirements; existence of a formal or informal strategic relationship with the prospective co-investor, including any contractual undertakings; the size and/or timing of a commitment to a co-investor; tenure as the Advisors client investor, if applicable; commitment to invest in current or future products of the Advisor, strategic expertise and financial resources of the prospective co-investor; or whether the Advisor believes that allocating investment opportunities to an investor or person will help establish, recognize, strengthen and/or cultivate relationships that have the potential to provide longer-term benefits to the relevant portfolio company, other portfolio companies, the Advisors clients or the Advisor, or any of its affiliates. The Advisor reserves the right to grant certain co-investors the opportunity to evaluate specified amounts of prospective co-investments in portfolio companies or otherwise to have priority in co-investment opportunities, subject to the Advisor’s allocation policies and procedures. A co-investor’s pro rata share (relative to capital invested) of transaction fees, portfolio monitoring fees, management fees, and similar payments from portfolio companies, will be retained by the Advisor or its affiliates to the extent agreed upon by co-investors. These fees and payments generally will not reduce the compensation, if any, paid to the Advisor by the Advisor’s clients. To facilitate the acquisition of a portfolio investment, in certain cases the Advisor’s client will make (or commit to make) an investment and with a view to subsequently sell a portion of the investment to co-investors prior to or following the closing of the acquisition. In such event, the relevant Advisor client will bear the risk that any or all of the excess portion of such investment is not sold or sold only on unattractive terms, including for example the risk that a portion of the investment will be syndicated at reduced cost, at cost, or at a lower amount at a time when the general partner (believes the value of such investment has appreciated or should be higher than that paid (or willing to be paid) by a co-investor. To the extent such a syndication is made, the Advisors interest in limiting the Advisor’s client’s exposure to a given investment while providing a potential benefit to co-investors investing at such lower values will give rise to a conflict of interest. As a consequence of a failed co-investment syndication process or a co-investment syndication on unattractive terms, the relevant Advisor client would be required to (i) bear the entire portion of any break-up, topping or other fees, costs and expenses related to such investment (including the proportionate share of such amounts that were expected to have been borne by co-investors), (ii) hold a larger-than-expected investment in such portfolio company, (iii) receive less-than-fair-market value for the syndicated portion of the investment and/or (iv) be diluted or realize lower than expected returns from such investment. When and to the extent that employees and other affiliates of the Advisor make capital investments in or alongside certain Advisor clients, the Advisor is subject to conflicting interests in connection with these investments.
The Advisor has implemented policies and procedures that govern the allocation of investment opportunities among clients in a fair and equitable manner, taking into account the needs and investment objectives of the clients, their specific objectives and constraints for each account, as well as prevailing market conditions. If an investment
54

opportunity would be appropriate for more than one client, the Advisor will be required to choose among those clients in allocating the opportunity, or to allocate less of the opportunity to a client than it would ideally allocate if it did not have to allocate to multiple clients. In addition, the Advisor may determine that an investment opportunity is appropriate for a particular client account, but not for another.
The Advisor allocates transactions on an objective basis and in a manner designed to assure that no participating client is favored over any other participating client. If an investment is suitable and desirable for more than one client account, an initial allocation study will be determined based upon demand ascertained from the portfolio managers. With respect to fixed income and private equity, this initial allocation study is overseen by a central allocation group and generally reflects a pro rata participation in the investment opportunity among the participating client accounts that expressed demand. Final allocation decisions are made or verified independently by the central allocation group. With respect to public equity securities and public equity-related securities, the allocation generally reflects a pro rata participation in the investment opportunity among participating accounts. Allocations may be adjusted under specific circumstances, such as situations of scarcity where pro rata allocations would result in de minimis positions or odd lots.
The application of relevant allocation factors can result in non-pro rata allocations, and particular client accounts (including client that are Guggenheim Related Parties) will receive an allocation when other client accounts do not or receive a greater than pro-rata allocation. There can be no assurance that a particular investment opportunity will be allocated in any particular manner, and circumstances may occur in which an allocation could have adverse effects on a Fund with respect to the price or size of securities positions obtainable or saleable. All of the foregoing procedures could in certain circumstances adversely affect the price paid or received by a Fund or the size of the position purchased or sold by a Fund (including prohibiting a Fund from purchasing a position) or may limit the rights that a Fund may exercise with respect to an investment.
At times, in order to minimize execution costs for clients, trades in the same security transacted on behalf of more than one client will generally be aggregated (i.e., blocked or bunched) by the Advisor, unless the Advisor believes that doing so would conflict or otherwise be inconsistent with its duty to seek best execution for the clients and/or the terms of the respective investment advisory contracts and other agreements and understandings relating to the clients for which trades are being aggregated. In particular, the Advisor expects that trades will be aggregated between the Advisor’s clients and the Advisor’s affiliates’ clients, unless they believe that doing so would conflict or otherwise be inconsistent with their duty to seek best execution for the clients and/or the terms of the respective investment advisory contracts and other agreements and understandings relating to the clients for which trades are being aggregated. When the Advisor believes that it can effectively obtain best execution for the clients by aggregating trades, it will do so for all clients participating in the trade for which aggregated trades are consistent with the respective investment advisory contracts, investment guidelines, and other agreements and understandings relating to the clients.
In the event trades are aggregated on behalf of the Advisor’s clients, the aggregated transactions will be allocated in a manner consistent with the allocation process described above. Aggregated transactions then are allocated among the participating client accounts after taking into consideration the specific objectives and constraints for each account, which could include, but are not limited to, the following: risk tolerance; rating constraints; maturity constraints; issue size; yield; purchase price; existing exposure of the investment vehicle; minimum trade allocation; minimum position holding size; sector allocation limits; duration; convexity; strategy; lot size; market conditions; investment guideline considerations; and account-specific legal and regulatory constraints. In addition, the Advisor will consider the specific investment objective of the account (i.e., whether the account is a multi-strategy or single-strategy account), liquidity requirements, diversification, lender covenants, investment phase of the account (i.e., ramping-up or taking gains/losses for tax purposes), aggregate size of commonly owned accounts, and cash available in each account when making an allocation decision.
Allocation of Limited Time and Attention. The portfolio managers for the Funds may devote as much time to the Funds as the Advisor deems appropriate to perform its duties in accordance with reasonable commercial standards and the Advisor’s duties. However, as described above, these portfolio managers are presently committed to and expect to be committed in the future to providing investment advisory and other services for Other Clients and engage in Other Business Activities in which the Funds may have no interest. As a result of these separate business activities, the Advisor may have conflicts of interest in allocating management time, services and functions among the Funds and Other Business Activities or Other Clients in that the time and effort of the Funds’ portfolio managers would not be devoted exclusively to the business of the Funds.
55

Potential Restrictions and Issues Related to Material Non-Public Information. By reason of Other Business Activities as well as services and advice provided to Other Clients, the Advisor and its affiliates may acquire confidential or material non-public information and may be restricted from initiating transactions in certain securities and instruments until they are cleansed of such material non-public information. The Advisor will not be free to divulge, or to act upon, any such confidential or material non-public information and, due to these restrictions, the Advisor may be unable to initiate a transaction for a Fund’s account that it otherwise might have initiated. As a result, a Fund may be frozen in an investment position that it otherwise might have liquidated or closed out or may not be able to acquire a position that it might otherwise have acquired.
Valuation of the Funds’ Investments. Fund assets are valued in accordance with the Funds’ valuation policy and procedures and the Advisor’s Rule 2a-5 fair valuation policy and Rule 2a-5 fair valuation procedures. The valuation of a security or other asset for the Funds may differ from the value ascribed to the same asset by affiliates of the Advisor (particularly difficult-to-value assets) or Other Clients because, among other things, they may have procedures that differ from the Funds’ procedures or may have access to different information or pricing vendors or use different models or techniques. The Advisor has been designated as the valuation designee to perform fair value determinations for the Funds with respect to all Funds’ investments and may face a potential conflict with respect to such valuations.
Investments in Other Guggenheim Funds. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Funds may invest in other funds sponsored, managed, advised or sub-advised by the Advisor or its affiliates. Investments by a Fund in such funds present potential conflicts of interest, including potential incentives to invest in smaller or newer funds to increase asset levels or provide greater viability and to invest in funds managed by the portfolio manager(s) of the Fund. As disclosed in the Prospectus(es) and this SAI, the Advisor has agreed to waive certain fees associated with these types of investments, which will reduce, but will not eliminate, these types of conflicts. In other circumstances, the Advisor may make investments for clients for various portfolio management purposes in limited partnerships or similar vehicles that are managed or otherwise serviced by affiliates of the Advisor that will be compensated for such services.
Potential Conflicts Associated with the Advisor and its Affiliates Acting in Multiple Capacities Simultaneously
Principal and Cross Transactions. The Advisor may, to the extent permitted under applicable law, effect client cross transactions where the Advisor causes a transaction to be effected between a Fund and an Other Client; provided, that conditions set forth in SEC rules under the 1940 Act are followed. Cross transactions present an inherent conflict of interest because the Advisor represents the interests of both the selling account and the buying account in the same transaction, and the Advisor could seek to treat one party to the cross transaction more favorably than the other party. Furthermore, in some circumstances, the security or other financial instrument being traded is an interest in an investment vehicle managed by the Advisor or one of its affiliates or an issuer in which an affiliate or a Guggenheim Related Party has an interest. The Advisor has policies and procedures designed to mitigate these conflicts and help ensure that any cross transactions are in the best interests of, and appropriate for, all clients involved and the transactions are consistent with the Advisor’s fiduciary duties and obligation to seek best execution and applicable rules.
The Advisor and Its Affiliates May Act in Multiple Commercial Capacities. Subject to applicable law, the provisions of the 1940 Act and rules thereunder and the Funds’ and Other Clients’ investment guidelines, the Advisor may cause the Funds to invest in securities, bank loans or other obligations of companies or structured product vehicles that result in commissions, initial or ongoing fees, or other remuneration paid to (and retained by) the Advisor or one of its affiliates. Such investments may include (i) investments that the Advisor or one of its affiliates originated, arranged or placed, (ii) investments in which the Advisor’s affiliate provided investment banking, financial advisory or similar services to a party involved in the transaction to which the investment relates (such as acquisition financing in a transaction in which the Advisor’s affiliate represented the buyer or seller); (iii) investments where the Advisor or its affiliates provided other services to a transaction participant or other third party, (iv) investments where the Advisor or one of its affiliates acts as the collateral agent, administrator, originator, manager, or other service provider, and (v) investments that are secured or otherwise backed by collateral that could include assets originated, sold or financed by the Advisor or its affiliates, investment funds or pools managed by the Advisor or its affiliates or assets or obligations managed by the Advisor or its affiliates. Commissions, fees, or other remuneration payable to the Advisor or its affiliates in these transactions may present a potential conflict in that the Advisor may be viewed as having an incentive to purchase such investments to earn, or facilitate its affiliates’ ability to earn, such additional fees or compensation.
56

In some circumstances, and also subject to applicable law, the Advisor may cause the Funds to invest in or provide financing to issuers or borrowers, or otherwise participate in transactions, in which the issuer, borrower or another transaction party (such as a placement agent or arranger) is, or is a subsidiary or affiliate of or otherwise related to, (a) an Other Client or (b) a company with which Guggenheim Related Persons, or officers or employees of the Advisor, have investment, financial or other interests or relationships (including but not limited to directorships or equivalent roles). The financial interests of the Advisor’s affiliates or their related persons in issuers or borrowers create potential conflict between the economic interests of these affiliates or related persons and the interests of the Advisor’s clients. In addition, to the extent that a potential issuer or borrower (or one of its affiliates) is an advisory client of the Advisor, or the Advisor’s advisory client is a lender or financing provider to the Advisor or its affiliates (including a parent), a potential conflict may exist as the Advisor may have an incentive to favor the interests of those clients relative to those of its other clients.
Because of limitations imposed by applicable law, notably by provisions of the 1940 Act and rules thereunder, the involvement or presence of the Advisor’s affiliates in the offerings described above or the financial markets more broadly may restrict a Fund’s ability to acquire some securities or loans, even if they would otherwise be desirable investments for the Fund, or affect the timing or price of such acquisitions or the sale of an investment, which may adversely affect Fund performance.
Subject to applicable law and regulation, personnel of the Guggenheim Entities may support the overall investment management functions of the Advisor but may be subject to potential conflicts of interest with respect to certain investment opportunities and, as such, may have an incentive to identify investment opportunities for, and allocate investment opportunities to, third-parties. Similarly, to the extent that other Guggenheim Entities sponsor and manage funds that compete with the Funds’ investment programs, these funds may reduce capacity otherwise available to the Funds.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Advisor and its affiliates may create, write, sell, issue, invest in or act as placement agent or distributor of derivative instruments related to the Funds, or with respect to portfolio holdings of the Funds, or which may be otherwise based on or seek to replicate or hedge the performance of the Funds. Such derivative transactions, and any associated hedging activity, may differ from and be adverse to the interests of the Funds.
Some of the Advisor’s and/or its affiliates’ employees (and others acting as consultants or advisors) may serve as directors or otherwise serve a role within a portfolio company in which a Fund invests. These services are separate from the services the Advisor renders to the Fund and may thus create conflicts.
Certain professionals, including investment professionals of the Advisor may, from time to time, also serve as investment professionals of affiliates. These arrangements, and the relationship between the Advisor and its affiliates, present potential conflicts of interest, including those described herein. Present and future activities of the Advisor and its affiliates (and the role and relationships of the Advisor’s personnel with other Guggenheim Entities), in addition to those described in this SAI, may give rise to additional or different conflicts of interest.
Portfolio Manager Compensation. The Advisor compensates portfolio managers for their management of a Fund’s portfolio. Compensation is evaluated (1) quantitatively based on their contribution to investment performance and portfolio risk control and (2) qualitatively based on factors such as teamwork and client service efforts. The portfolio managers’ incentives may include: a competitive base salary, bonus determined by individual and firm-wide performance, equity participation, co-investment options, and participation opportunities in various investments, including through deferred compensation programs. To ensure alignment with client interests, a portfolio manager’s compensation is not correlated to the size of assets under management in the strategy for which the portfolio manager is responsible. Some portfolio managers may earn compensation that varies based on the performances of certain accounts or investments. All employees of the Advisor also are eligible to participate in a 401(k) plan to which a discretionary match may be made after the completion of each plan year. The Advisor’s deferred compensation programs include equity that vests over a period of years, including equity in the form of shares of certain funds managed by the particular portfolio manager. The value of the fund shares under the deferred compensation programs is awarded annually and each award vests over a period of years (generally 4 years). As discussed below, a portfolio manager’s ownership of shares of a fund, including a Fund, managed by the portfolio manager may create conflicts of interest that incentivize the portfolio manager to favor such fund, or Fund, over other Funds or other accounts.

Administration, Fund Accounting and Transfer Agency Services
Effective February 23, 2026, pursuant to a Fund Accounting and Administration Agreement with the Trust, as may be amended and/or restated (the “Fund Accounting and Administration Agreement”), The Bank of New York Mellon (“Bank of New York”) serves as the administrative agent for the Funds and, as such, performs administrative functions and bookkeeping, accounting, and pricing functions for the Funds. For these services, Bank of New York receives a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, based on average daily net assets of the Funds, subject to a minimum fee per year. The Funds also reimburse Bank of New York for certain out-of-pocket expenses.
Additionally, effective February 23, 2026, pursuant to a Transfer Agency and Shareholder Services Agreement with the Trust, as may be amended and/or restated time to time (the “Transfer Agency Agreement”), Bank of New York also serves as transfer agent for the Funds and performs all shareholder servicing functions, including processing purchase and redemption transactions, processing transfer and exchanges, maintenance of shareholder accounts, answering inquiries, supporting the mailing and e-delivery of shareholder communications, and acting as the dividend disbursing agent. For these services, Bank of New York is compensated primarily based on number of accounts serviced and specific services provided. The Funds also may reimburse Bank of New York for certain out-of-pocket expenses.
The Funds have agreed to reimburse Bank of New York, the Advisor, the Distributor and any of their affiliates for any expenses they pay to financial intermediaries, such as third-party administrators, broker/dealers, banks, insurance companies or other subcontractors, for providing certain sub-transfer agency and similar subcontracted services, pursuant to various sub-transfer agency and other subcontractor agreements. Payments reimbursed by the Funds pursuant to such agreements are generally calculated based on: (1) the average daily net assets of clients serviced by such financial intermediary; or (2) the number of accounts serviced by such financial intermediary. Any payments made pursuant to such agreements are in addition to, rather than in lieu of, any Rule 12b-1 fees the financial intermediary also may be receiving pursuant to agreements with the Distributor. The fees paid for sub-transfer agency and similar subcontracted services vary based on, for example, the nature of the services provided. For the Funds’ most recently completed fiscal year, the total sub-transfer agency payments of this nature made by the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, were approximately $1,733,739.
Each Fund pays all of its respective expenses not assumed by Bank of New York or the Distributor, including organization expenses; Trustees’ fees; fees of the Funds’ custodian; taxes and governmental fees; interest charges; any membership dues; brokerage commissions; expenses of preparing and distributing reports to shareholders; costs of shareholder and other meetings; distribution fees (if any); legal, auditing and accounting expenses; and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. Each Fund also pays for the preparation and distribution of its Prospectus to its shareholders and all expenses in connection with its registration under federal and state securities laws. Each Fund pays nonrecurring expenses that may arise, including litigation expenses affecting the Fund or legal and other professional costs, which may be significant, that may be incurred when enforcing shareholder rights in connection with an investment or in structuring an investment (e.g., negotiation of investment terms and 1940 Act compliance considerations). Notably, any private debt and derivatives investments of the Funds often require legal reviews for 1940 Act compliance purposes, and the associated costs are borne by the Funds. In certain cases, these fees can be borne by several Funds and are allocated among respective parties based on methods intended to result in fair and equitable allocations.
Prior to February 23, 2026, MUFG Investor Services (US), LLC (“MUIS”), located at 805 King Farm Boulevard, Suite 600, Rockville, Maryland 20850, served as administrative agent and transfer agent for the Funds. Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Open-End Fund Accounting and Administration Agreement with the Trust, MUIS performed
58

administrative functions and bookkeeping, accounting and pricing functions for the Funds. Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Transfer Agency Agreement with the Trust, MUIS performed all shareholder servicing functions for the Funds, including processing purchase and redemption transactions, processing transfers and exchanges, maintenance of shareholder accounts, answering inquiries, supporting the mailing and e-delivery of shareholder communications, and acting as the dividend disbursing agent.
Distribution Services
Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company located at 227 West Monroe Street, Chicago, Illinois 60606, serves as the principal underwriter for shares of the Trust pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, dated March 1, 2012, between the Trust and the Distributor (the “Distribution Agreement”). The Distribution Agreement grants the Distributor the exclusive right to distribute the shares of the Funds. The Distributor acts in such capacity on a best-efforts basis and offers shares of the Funds on a continuous basis. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Advisor and also serves as principal underwriter for Guggenheim Funds Trust, Guggenheim Strategy Funds Trust, Guggenheim Variable Funds Trust, Rydex Dynamic Funds, and Rydex Variable Trust.
In addition to the Distribution Agreement granting the Distributor the exclusive right to distribute the shares of the Funds, the Distribution Agreement also permits the Distributor to receive as compensation any front-end sales load or contingent deferred sales charge collected by the Funds or other asset-based sales charges collected pursuant to any distribution or shareholder services plans adopted by the Funds on behalf of the various classes of shares. Each of the Fund’s current distribution and shareholder services plans, as well as a description of the services performed under each, are described below.
Class A Distribution Plan—Each Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan applicable to Class A shares (the “Class A Plan”). The Class A Plan allows each Fund to pay distribution fees to the Distributor and other firms that provide distribution services (“Service Providers”). Each Fund will pay distribution fees to the Distributor at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of average daily net assets, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Distributor generally will, in turn, pay the Service Providers out of its fees. 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.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, the Funds paid the following fees pursuant to the Class A Plan:

Under the Class C Plan, the Distributor, or designated Service Providers, may receive up to a total of 1.00% of each Fund’s assets attributable to Class C shares as compensation for distribution and shareholder services pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class C Plan allows for payment of up to 0.75% of each Fund’s assets attributable to Class C shares as compensation for distribution services and up to 0.25% of each Fund’s assets attributable to Class C shares as compensation for shareholder services.

Description of Distribution Services and Shareholder Services—Distribution services may include: (i) services in connection with distribution assistance, or (ii) payments to financial institutions and other financial intermediaries, such as banks, savings and loan associations, insurance companies, investment counselors, broker-dealers, mutual fund “supermarkets” and the Distributor’s affiliates and subsidiaries, as compensation for services or reimbursement of expenses incurred in connection with distribution assistance. The Distributor may, at its discretion, retain a portion of such payments to compensate itself for distribution services and distribution related expenses such as the costs of preparation, printing, mailing or otherwise disseminating sales literature, advertising, and prospectuses (other than those furnished to current shareholders of the Funds), promotional and incentive programs, and such other marketing expenses that the Distributor may incur.
Shareholder services may include: (i) maintaining accounts relating to clients that invest in shares; (ii) arranging for bank wires; (iii) responding to client inquiries relating to the services performed by the Service Providers; (iv) responding to inquiries from clients concerning their investment in shares; (v) assisting clients in changing dividend options, account designations and addresses; (vi) providing information periodically to clients showing their position in shares; (vii) forwarding shareholder communications from the Funds such as proxies, shareholder reports, annual reports, and dividend distribution and tax notices to clients; and (viii) processing dividend payments from the Funds on behalf of clients.
Other Distribution or Service Arrangements—The Advisor, the Distributor or their affiliates, out of their own resources and not out of Fund assets (i.e., without additional cost to the Funds or their shareholders), may provide additional cash payments or non-cash compensation to some, but not all, broker/dealers and other financial intermediaries (including payments to affiliates of the Advisor or Distributor) who sell shares of the Funds or render investor services to Fund shareholders (directly or indirectly via sales of variable insurance contracts or the provision of services in connection with retirement plans). Such payments and compensation are in addition to any sales charges paid by investors or Rule 12b-1 plan fees, service fees and other fees paid, directly or indirectly, by the Funds to such brokers and other financial intermediaries. These arrangements are sometimes referred to as “revenue sharing” arrangements. Revenue sharing arrangements are not financed by the Funds, and thus, do not result in increased Fund expenses. They are not reflected in the fees and expenses listed in the fees and expenses sections of the Funds’ Prospectuses, and they do not change the price paid by investors for the purchase of a Fund’s shares or the amount received by a shareholder as proceeds from the redemption of Fund shares.
60

Such compensation, if any, may be paid to financial intermediaries that provide services to the Funds and/or shareholders in the Funds, including (without limitation) shareholder servicing, marketing support and/or access to sales meetings, sales representatives and management representatives of the intermediary. Such compensation also may be paid to financial intermediaries for inclusion of the Funds on a sales list, including a preferred or select sales list, in other sales programs, or as an expense reimbursement or compensation in cases where the intermediary provides services to shareholders. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Distributor and other parties may pay or allow other incentives and compensation to such financial intermediaries. The Distributor generally periodically assesses the advisability of continuing to make these payments.
These payments may take a variety of forms, including (without limitation) compensation for sales, “trail” fees for shareholder servicing and maintenance of investor accounts, and finder’s fees. Revenue sharing payments may be structured: (i) as a percentage of net sales; (ii) as a percentage of net assets; and/or (iii) as a fixed dollar amount.
As of March 31, 2026, the Distributor and/or the Advisor have revenue sharing arrangements with the following financial intermediaries, pursuant to which the Distributor and/or the Advisor make revenue sharing payments. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, the Distributor and/or the Advisor paid the following fees, based on the assets invested in the Funds, for services provided to the Trust:

The Distributor may enter into revenue sharing arrangements with other financial intermediaries and may modify existing revenue sharing arrangements with the financial intermediaries listed above.
In addition, while the Distributor typically pays most of the sales charge applicable to the sale of Fund shares to brokers and other financial intermediaries through which purchases are made, the Distributor may, on occasion, pay the entire sales charge.
From time to time, the Distributor and its affiliates also may pay non-cash compensation to brokers and other financial intermediaries in the form of, for example: (i) occasional gifts; (ii) occasional meals, tickets or other entertainment; and/or (iii) sponsorship support of regional or national events. For example, representatives of the Distributor visit brokers and other financial intermediaries on a regular basis to educate them about the Funds and to encourage the sale of Fund shares to their clients. The costs and expenses associated with these efforts may include travel, lodging, sponsorship at educational seminars and conferences, entertainment and meals to the extent permitted by law.
The compensation or reimbursement received by brokers and other financial intermediaries through sales charges, fees payable from the Funds, and/or revenue sharing arrangements for selling shares of the Funds may be more or less than the overall compensation or reimbursement on similar or other products and may influence your broker or other financial intermediary to present and recommend the Funds over other investment options available in the marketplace. In addition, depending on the arrangements in place at any particular time, your broker or other financial intermediary may have a financial incentive for recommending a particular class of Fund shares over other share classes.
61

Shareholders may obtain more information about these arrangements, including the conflicts of interests that such arrangements may create, from their brokers and other financial intermediaries and should so inquire if they would like additional information. A shareholder may ask his or her broker or financial intermediary how he or she will be compensated for investments made in the Funds.
Although the Funds may use financial firms that sell Fund shares to effect transactions for each Fund’s portfolio, the Advisor will not consider the sale of Fund shares as a factor when choosing financial firms to effect those transactions.
Securities Lending
The Funds participate in a securities lending program (the “Securities Lending Program”) offered by Bank of New York pursuant to the terms of a securities lending agreement entered into between the Trust and Bank of New York.
As securities lending agent, Bank of New York is responsible for the administration and management of the Funds’ Securities Lending Program, including: the preparation, negotiation, and execution of a participant agreement with each borrower governing the terms, conditions and fees of any securities loan; ensuring that securities loans are properly coordinated and documented; the selection of securities to be loaned; ensuring that loaned securities are daily valued and that the corresponding required cash collateral is delivered by the borrower(s); maintaining custody of non-cash collateral; recordkeeping and account servicing; arranging for the investment of cash collateral received from borrowers in accordance with the Funds’ investment guidelines as approved by the Board; recalling loaned securities in accordance with Fund instructions; and arranging for the return of loaned securities at the time of the loan termination. Bank of New York receives as compensation for its services a portion of the amount earned by the Funds for lending securities.
Prior to September 29, 2025, U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”) served as securities lending agent and was responsible for the administration and management of the Funds’ Securities Lending Program. U.S. Bank received as compensation for its services a portion of the amount earned by the Funds for lending securities.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, the gross income from securities lending activities, including income from cash collateral, and net income from securities lending activities received by the Funds is as follows:

Costs and Expenses
Each Fund bears all expenses of its operations other than those assumed by the Advisor or Bank of New York, if any. Fund expenses include: the management fee; the servicing fee (including administrative, transfer agent, and shareholder servicing fees); custodian and accounting fees and expenses; legal and auditing fees; securities valuation expenses; fidelity bonds and other insurance premiums; expenses of preparing and printing prospectuses, confirmations, proxy statements, and shareholder reports and notices; registration fees and expenses; proxy and annual meeting expenses, if any; all federal, state, and local taxes (including, without limitation, stamp, excise, income, and franchise taxes); organizational costs; the costs and expenses of redeeming shares of a Fund; fees and expenses paid to any securities pricing organization; dues and expenses associated with membership in any mutual fund organization; and costs for incoming telephone WATTS lines. In addition, each of the Funds pays an equal portion of the trustee fees and expenses for attendance at Board meetings for the Board members who are not affiliated with, or interested persons of, the Advisor.
Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery
The Advisor and the Distributor have developed a joint Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Program (the “Program”) that is designed to minimize the disruption of normal business operations in the event of a disaster. While the Advisor and Distributor believe that the Program is comprehensive and should enable them to survive a disaster and reestablish normal business operations in a timely manner, under certain unusual or unexpected circumstances the Advisor and/or Distributor could be prevented or hindered from providing services to the Funds for extended periods of time. These circumstances may include, without limitation, acts of God, acts of government in its sovereign or contractual capacity, any act of declared or undeclared war or of a public enemy (including acts of terrorism), power shortages or failures, utility or communication failure or delays, labor disputes, strikes, shortages, supply shortages, system failures or malfunctions. Under each of the Advisor’s and Distributor’s agreement with the Trust, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of each of the Advisor or Distributor, or the reckless disregard of their respective obligations, the Advisor and Distributor generally will not be liable for any related losses to the Funds or to the Funds’ shareholders as a result of such an occurrence.

Control Persons and Principal Holders of Securities
For a list of the control persons and principal holders of securities of each Fund as of July 1, 2026, please see Appendix B to this SAI.
Determination of Net Asset Value
The following information supplements and should be read in conjunction with the section in the Funds’ Prospectuses entitled “Calculating Net Asset Value.” Neither the Funds’ Prospectuses nor the following information is intended to reflect an exhaustive list of the methodologies a Fund may use to value its investments. The methodologies summarized in the Funds’ Prospectuses and below may not represent the specific means by which a Fund’s investments are valued on any particular business day.
The NAV of a Fund serves as the basis for the purchase and redemption price of that Fund’s shares. The NAV of a Fund is calculated by dividing the current value of the Fund’s total assets, less all liabilities, by the number of outstanding shares of the Fund. Each Fund’s assets are comprised of its portfolio securities and other investments and other assets, including cash and net investment income and realized and unrealized capital gains that have previously been earned but not yet distributed. As a result, when a shareholder purchases shares of a Fund, part of the NAV is often comprised of such income and gains prior to the purchase, which are included in the purchase price paid by the shareholder. Further, any payment of an income dividend or distribution of capital gains will result in a decrease in a Fund’s NAV in the amount of the payment of the income dividend or capital gains distribution (i.e., the NAV as of the ex-dividend date, which is the first date following the declaration of a dividend and/or distribution on which the purchaser of shares is not entitled to receive the payment, excludes the amount of the dividend and/or distribution to be paid). The number of shares purchased by a shareholder and the management and other asset-based fees paid by a Fund on an ongoing basis are determined based on the NAV so calculated.
The Board has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the Funds’ investments (the “Valuation Procedures”). Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board designated the Advisor as the valuation designee to perform fair valuation determinations for each Fund with respect to all Fund investments and/or other assets. As the Funds’ valuation designee pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Advisor has adopted separate procedures (“Valuation Designee Procedures”) reasonably designed to prevent violations of the requirements of Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Advisor, in its sole role as valuation designee, utilizes the assistance of a valuation committee, consisting of representatives from the Advisor’s investment management, fund administration, legal and compliance departments (the “Valuation Committee”), in determining fair value of the Funds’ securities and/or other assets. The Valuation Procedures and Valuation Designee Procedures permit the Funds to use a variety of valuation methodologies in connection with valuing the Funds’ investments. The methodology used for a specific type of investment may vary based on available market data or other relevant considerations. As a general matter, valuing securities and assets accurately is difficult and can be based on inputs and assumptions, which may not always be accurate.
In general, portfolio securities and assets of a Fund will be valued on the basis of readily available market quotations at their current market value. With respect to portfolio securities and assets of a Fund for which market quotations are not readily available, or are deemed unreliable by the Advisor, the Fund will fair value those securities and assets in good faith in accordance with the Valuation Procedures and Valuation Designee Procedures. Valuations in accordance with these methods are intended to reflect each security’s (or asset’s or liability’s) “fair value.” Fair value represents a good faith approximation of the value of a security. Fair value determinations may be based on limited inputs and involve the consideration of a number of subjective factors, an analysis of applicable facts and circumstances, and the exercise of judgment. Each such determination is based on a consideration of all relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. Examples of such factors may include, but are not limited to, market prices; sale prices; broker quotes; and models which derive prices based on inputs such as prices of securities with comparable maturities and characteristics, or based on inputs such as anticipated cash flows or collateral, spread over U.S. Treasury securities, and other information analysis. As a result, it is possible that the fair value for a security determined in good faith in accordance with the Valuation Procedures and Valuation Designee Procedures may differ from valuations for the same security determined by other funds using their own valuation procedures. Although the Valuation Procedures and Valuation Designee Procedures are designed to value
64

a portfolio security or asset at the price a Fund may reasonably expect to receive upon its sale in an orderly transaction, there can be no assurance that any fair value determination thereunder would, in fact, approximate the amount that a Fund could reasonably expect to receive upon the sale of the portfolio security or asset.
Valuations of the Funds’ securities and other assets are supplied primarily by independent third-party pricing services appointed pursuant to the processes set forth in the Valuation Designee Procedures. The Advisor, with the assistance of the Valuation Committee, convenes monthly, or more frequently as needed, to review the valuation of all assets which have been fair valued for reasonableness. The Advisor, consistent with the monitoring and review responsibilities set forth in the Valuation Designee Procedures, regularly reviews the appropriateness of the inputs, methods, models and assumptions employed by the pricing services. Valuations provided by pricing services are generally based on methods that the Advisor believes are reasonably designed to approximate the amount that a Fund could reasonably expect to receive upon the sale of the portfolio security or asset. When providing valuations to the Funds, pricing services use various inputs, methods, models and assumptions, which may include information provided by broker-dealers and other market makers. Pricing services face the same challenges as the Funds in valuing securities and assets and may rely on limited available information. If the pricing service cannot or does not provide a valuation for a particular investment, or such valuation is deemed unreliable, such investment is fair valued by the Advisor. Each Fund may also use third-party service providers to model certain securities, including CLOs and certain other structured finance securities, using models to determine fair market value. While a Fund’s use of fair valuation is intended to result in calculation of NAV that fairly reflects values of the Fund’s portfolio securities as of the time of pricing, a Fund cannot guarantee that any fair valuation will, in fact, approximate the amount the Fund would actually realize upon the sale of the securities in question.
Equity securities traded on a domestic securities exchange (including ETFs) are usually valued at the last sale price on that exchange on the day the valuation is made. If no sale is reported, the last current bid price is usually used. OTC securities held by a Fund are typically valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”) on the valuation date or, if no NOCP is reported, the last reported bid price is used. The portfolio securities of a Fund that are usually valued on multiple exchanges or markets are taken at the last sales price of such securities on the principal exchange or market on which they are traded.
Debt securities with a remaining maturity greater than 60 days will be generally valued based on independent pricing services, except as specified below. A Fund will utilize the amortized cost method in valuing its commercial paper and discount notes with maturities of 60 days or less for purposes of determining the NAV of its shares even though the portfolio securities may increase or decrease in market value, generally, in connection with changes in interest rates. The amortized cost method of valuation involves valuing a security at its cost adjusted by a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, regardless of the impact of fluctuating interest rates on the market value of the instrument. While this method provides certainty in valuation, this method may result in periods during which value, as determined by amortized cost, is higher or lower than the price that a Fund would receive if the Fund sold the instrument.
For investments in an underlying open-end mutual fund, a Fund usually values its investment in the underlying fund at its NAV. The NAV of each underlying fund is calculated by dividing the market value of the underlying fund’s securities plus the value of its other assets, less all liabilities, by the number of outstanding shares of the underlying fund.
Options on securities and indices purchased by a Fund generally are valued at the mean of the bid and ask prices on the principal exchange on which they are traded in the case of exchange-traded options; options traded in the OTC market are valued using a price provided by a pricing service. An exchange-traded futures contract will be valued based upon the official settlement price on the primary exchange on which it trades. Futures contracts that trade past 4:00 p.m. are valued at the trade price as of 4:00 p.m., or at the last trade price immediately prior to 4:00 p.m. if a 4:00 p.m. trade price is not available. Options on futures contracts traded on an exchange will be valued at the last trade price prior to the close of regular trading on the NYSE.
The value of total return index swaps will usually be computed based on the current index value as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE, with the swap value being adjusted to include dividends accrued, financing charges and/or interest associated with the swap agreement. The value of credit default swaps will be marked to the price at which orders are then being filled (or, if the orders are being filled at different prices, the average of such prices). If no comparable trade has occurred, the Fund will seek a quote from three broker-dealers, and the swap will be valued at the average of the three prices so provided, unless it is concluded that any such quote does not represent fair value, in which case the swap will be valued at the average of the remaining prices.
65

Funds that are party to a structured note, will regularly value their investments in such structured notes at fair value.
The loans (including syndicated bank loans) in which a Fund may invest are not usually listed on any securities exchange or board of trade. Typically, such loans are valued using information provided by an independent third-party pricing service.
For valuation purposes, assets initially expressed in foreign currency values will be converted into U.S. dollar values at the rate at which local currencies can be sold to buy U.S. dollars as obtained from a third-party pricing service/vendor as set forth in the Funds’ procedures.
Illiquid securities, investments for which market quotations are not readily available, are fair valued as determined in good faith by the Advisor. Valuations in accordance with these methods are intended to reflect each security’s (or asset’s or liability’s) “fair value.” Each such determination is based on a consideration of all relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. Examples of such factors may include, but are not limited to: market prices; sale prices; broker quotes; and models which derive prices based on inputs such as prices of securities with comparable maturities and characteristics, or based on inputs such as anticipated cash flows or collateral, spread over U.S. Treasury securities, and other information analysis. In connection with futures contracts and other derivative investments, such factors may include obtaining information as to how (a) these contracts and other derivative investments trade in the futures or other derivative markets, respectively, and (b) the securities underlying these contracts and other derivative investments trade in the cash market.
A Fund also may fair value securities and assets when a significant event is deemed to have occurred after the time of a market quotation including for securities and assets traded on foreign markets and securities and assets for which market quotations are provided by pricing services as of a time that is prior to the time when the Funds determine their NAV. There can be no assurance in each case that significant events will be identified.
Proportions of a Fund’s investments that are fair valued vary from time to time and a Fund may fair value a significant amount of its portfolio securities and assets. The Funds’ report on Form N-CSR contains more information about the Funds’ holdings that are fair valued. Investors should consult the Funds’ report on Form N-CSR for additional information. For underlying funds in which the Funds may invest, additional information about the circumstances when those underlying funds may use fair value pricing may be found in each underlying fund’s respective prospectus.
Fair value represents a good faith approximation of the value of a security. Fair value determinations may be based on limited inputs and involve the consideration of a number of subjective factors, an analysis of applicable facts and circumstances and the exercise of judgment. As a result, it is possible that the fair value for a security determined in good faith in accordance with the Funds’ Valuation Procedures and Valuation Designee Procedures may differ from valuations for the same security determined by other funds using their own valuation procedures. Although the Funds’ Valuation Procedures and Valuation Designee Procedures are designed to value a portfolio security or asset at the price a Fund may reasonably expect to receive upon its sale in an orderly transaction, there can be no assurance that any fair value determination thereunder would, in fact, approximate the amount that a Fund could reasonably expect to receive upon the sale of the portfolio security or asset or the price at which the portfolio security or asset would trade if a reliable market quotation were readily available.
Purchase, Exchange and Redemption of Shares
For information on how to purchase, exchange and redeem shares of each share class, please see each Fund's Prospectus(es), as applicable. The information below supplements the information contained in the Prospectuses.
Minimum Investment Requirements
For information regarding the minimum investment requirements for purchases of Class A, Class C, and Class H shares of the Funds, as applicable, please see each Fund's Prospectus. Each Fund reserves the right to modify its minimum investment requirements at any time, with or without prior notice to you. The Trust may redeem an account whose balance (due in whole or in part to redemptions) has fallen below the minimum investment amount applicable at the time of the shareholder’s most recent purchase of Fund shares. However, a Fund will provide you with at least 30 days’ written notice to allow you sufficient time to add to your account and avoid the redemption of your shares. The Trust also may charge an annual maintenance fee to an account whose balance has fallen below the minimum investment amount without prior notification.
66

Retirement Account Fees
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 1-800-820-0888.
Guggenheim Investments EIP and Employee Accounts are not subject to IRA maintenance or liquidation fees.
Tax Consequences
Note that in the case of tax-qualified retirement plans, a redemption from such a plan may have adverse tax consequences. A shareholder contemplating such a redemption should consult his or her own tax adviser. Other shareholders should consider the tax consequences of any redemption.
Suspension of the Right of Redemption
The Funds may suspend the right of redemption or the date of payment: (i) for any period during which the NYSE is closed (other than customary weekend or holiday closings), or trading is restricted; (ii) for any period during which an emergency exists so that disposal of Fund investments or the determination of its NAV is not reasonably practicable; or (iii) for such other periods as the SEC, by order, may permit for the protection of Fund investors. In cases where Nasdaq, the CME, Chicago Board Options Exchange (“CBOE”), CBOT, or any foreign market where the Funds’ securities trade, as appropriate, is closed or trading is restricted, a Fund may ask the SEC to permit the right to redemption to be suspended. On any day that any of the securities exchanges on which the Funds’ securities trade close early (such as on days in advance of holidays generally observed by participants in these markets), or as permitted by the SEC, the right is reserved to advance the time on that day by which purchase and redemption orders must be received. Any order received after that time will receive the next business day’s NAV.
Holidays
The NYSE, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the Nasdaq, the CME, and the CBOT are closed on weekends and on the following holidays: (i) New Year’s Day (the CBOT also will close on New Year’s Eve Day), Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day, Good Friday (except for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York which is open on such day), Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day; and (ii) the preceding Friday if any of these holidays falls on a Saturday, or the subsequent Monday if any of these holidays fall on a Sunday. In addition, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is closed on Columbus Day and Veterans Day and the CBOT, NYSE and Nasdaq will close early (1 p.m., Eastern Time) on the day preceding Independence Day (July 3), the Friday following Thanksgiving, and on Christmas Eve day (the CBOT will close entirely on Christmas Eve day). Although the Trust expects the same holiday schedules to be observed in the future, each of the aforementioned exchanges may modify its holiday schedule at any time.
Redemptions In-Kind
Each Fund intends to pay your redemption proceeds in cash, but may pay all or a portion of your redemption proceeds in liquid securities with a market value equal to the redemption price (redemption in-kind). The Trust has elected to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under the 1940 Act under which the Trust is obligated to redeem shares for any one shareholder in cash only up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of a Fund’s NAV during any 90-day period. Although it is highly unlikely that your shares would ever actually be redeemed in kind, you may pay brokerage costs to sell the securities distributed to you, and you may receive less for them than the price at which they were valued for purposes of redemption. During periods of deteriorating or stressed market conditions, when an increased portion of a Fund’s portfolio may be comprised of less-liquid investments, or during extraordinary or emergency circumstances, a Fund may be more likely to pay redemption proceeds with cash obtained through short-term borrowing arrangements (if available) or by redeeming your shares in kind.
67

Sales Charges, Reductions and Waivers
Initial Sales Charges/Dealer Reallowances. Class A shares of the Funds are sold subject to a front-end sales charge as described in the Class A Prospectus. The sales charge is used to compensate the Distributor and participating securities dealers for their expenses incurred in connection with the distribution of the Funds’ shares. You also may be charged a transaction or other fee by the financial institution managing your account.
Selling dealers are normally reallowed a portion of the sales charge by the Distributor. The following table shows the amount of the front-end sales charge that is reallowed to dealers as a percentage of the offering price of Class A shares.

Reduced Sales Charges and Sales Charge Waivers. Eligible purchasers of Class A shares and Class C shares may be entitled to reduced or waived sales charges through certain purchase programs offered by the Funds. The availability of such sales charge waivers and discounts will depend on whether you purchase your shares directly from the Funds or through a financial intermediary. Intermediaries may have additional and different policies and procedures regarding the availability of certain share classes. In all instances, it is your responsibility to notify your financial intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying you for certain share classes eligible for sales charge waivers or discounts. If certain share classes or waivers and discounts are not available through a particular intermediary, shareholders may purchase Fund shares directly from the Fund or through another intermediary to receive the available waivers or discounts. Please see the Class A and Class C shares Prospectus for a description of waivers or discounts available through certain intermediaries.
Rights of Accumulation
You may qualify for reduced initial sales charges based upon your existing investment in shares of any Fund at the time of the proposed purchase. To determine whether or not a reduced initial sales charge applies to a proposed purchase, the Distributor takes into account not only the money which is invested upon such proposed purchase, but also the value of all Class A shares and Class C shares of the Funds that you own.
If you qualify for a reduced sales charge, the reduced sales charge applies to the total amount of money being invested, even if only a portion of that amount exceeds the breakpoint for the reduced sales charge. For example, if you already own qualifying Class A shares or Class C shares of any Fund with a value of $80,000 and wish to invest an additional $40,000 in Class A shares of a Fund, the reduced initial sales charge of 4.75% will apply to the full $40,000 purchase and not just to the $20,000 in excess of the $100,000 breakpoint.
To qualify for obtaining the discount applicable to a particular purchase, you or your securities dealer must furnish Bank of New York with a list of the account numbers and the names in which your Fund accounts are registered at the time the purchase is made.
Aggregating Accounts (Group Purchases)
1.
To receive a reduced sales charge on Class A shares, investments in any Class A shares or Class C shares made by you, your spouse and your children under the age of 21 may be aggregated if made for your/their own account(s) and:
trust accounts established by the above individuals. However, if the person(s) who established the trust is/are deceased, the trust account may be aggregated with accounts of the person who is the primary beneficiary of the trust;
solely controlled business accounts;
single participant retirement plans; or
endowments or foundations established and controlled by you or your immediate family.
68

2.
Investments made by a trustee or other fiduciary for a single trust estate or fiduciary account and multiple-employee benefit plans of a single employer or affiliated employers – provided they are not aggregated with individual accounts – also may be aggregated.
3.
Similarly, investments made for participant accounts of a 403(b) plan that is treated like an employer-sponsored plan, or multiple 403(b) plans of a single employer or affiliated employers, may be aggregated. In addition, investments made for non-profit, charitable or educational organizations (or any employer-sponsored retirement plan for such an endowment or foundation) or any endowments or foundations established and controlled by the organization may be aggregated. Finally, investments made by a common trust fund or other diversified pooled accounts not specifically formed for the purpose of accumulating fund shares may be aggregated.
Some accounts cannot be aggregated. At the request of certain investment firms, some accounts are set up as “street name” or “nominee” accounts. This means that the investment firm has sole access, and that the Funds have limited access, to the investment firm’s clients’ account information. Since Bank of New York has little or no access to certain nominee or street name account information, these accounts generally may not be aggregated for the purpose of receiving reduced sales charges. Check with your securities dealer to determine if this applies to your account.
Letters of Intent
You also may pay reduced initial sales charges by indicating on the account application that you intend to provide a Letter of Intent (“LOI”), and then fulfilling the conditions of that LOI.
The LOI confirms the total investment in shares of the Funds that you intend to make within the next 13 months. By marking the LOI section on the account application and by signing the account application, you indicate that you understand and agree to the terms of the LOI and that you are bound by the provisions described below:
Calculating the Initial Sales Charge:
Each purchase of Fund shares normally subject to an initial sales charge made during the 13-month period will be made at the public offering price applicable to a single transaction of the total dollar amount indicated by the LOI (to determine what the applicable public offering price is, look at the sales charge table in the section on “Initial Sales Charges” in the Prospectus).
It is your responsibility at the time of purchase to specify the account numbers that should be considered in determining the appropriate sales charge.
The offering price may be further reduced as described below above under “Rights of Accumulation” if Bank of New York is advised of all other accounts at the time of the investment.
Shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions will not be applied to the LOI.
Calculating the Number of Shares to be Purchased
Purchases made within 90 days before signing an LOI will be applied toward completion of the LOI. The LOI effective date will be the date of the first purchase within the 90-day period.
Purchases made more than 90 days before signing an LOI will be applied toward the completion of the LOI based on the value of the shares purchased that is calculated at the public offering price on the effective date of the LOI.
If you meet the original obligation at any time during the 13-month period, you may revise the intended investment amount upward by submitting a written and signed request. This revision will not change the original expiration date.
Bank of New York will process necessary adjustments upon the expiration or completion date of the LOI.
Fulfilling the Intended Investment
By signing an LOI, you are not making a binding commitment to purchase additional shares, but if purchases made within the 13-month period do not total the amount specified, you will have to pay the increased amount of sales charge.
To assure compliance with the provisions of the 1940 Act, Bank of New York will escrow in the form of shares an appropriate dollar amount (computed to the nearest full share) out of the initial purchase (or
69

subsequent purchases if necessary). All dividends and any capital gain distributions on the escrowed shares will be credited to you. All shares purchased, including those escrowed, will be registered in your name. If the total investment specified under this LOI is completed within the 13-month period, the escrowed shares will be promptly released.
If the intended investment is not completed, you will pay Bank of New York the difference between the sales charge on the specified amount and the sales charge on the amount actually purchased. If you do not pay such difference within 20 days of the expiration date, you irrevocably appoint Bank of New York as your attorney-in-fact to surrender for redemption any or all shares, to make up such difference within 60 days of the expiration date.
Canceling the LOI
If at any time before completing the LOI Program you wish to cancel the agreement, you must give written notice to the Distributor.
If at any time before completion the LOI Program you request Bank of New York to liquidate or transfer beneficial ownership of your total shares, the LOI will be automatically canceled. If the total amount purchased is less than the amount specified in the LOI, Bank of New York will redeem an appropriate number of escrowed shares equal to the difference between the sales charge actually paid and the sales charge that would have been paid if the total purchases had been made at a single time.
Sales Charge Waivers. The Class A shares' initial sales charges will be waived for certain types of investors, as described in the Prospectus.
Calculation and Waiver of Contingent Deferred Sales Charges. Any contingent deferred sales charge 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 a 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 contingent deferred sales charge will be redeemed first. Thereafter, shares held the longest will be the first to be redeemed.
The contingent deferred sales charge is waived: (1) following the death or disability of a shareholder; (2) when the 1.00% sales commission was not paid to the intermediary at the time of purchase; (3) upon the redemption of the first 10% of shares sold within 12 months of purchase; (4) in connection with required minimum distributions in the case of an IRA, SARSEP or Keogh or any other retirement plan qualified under Section 401(a), 401(k) or 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code; and (5) in the case of distributions from retirement plans qualified under Section 401(a) or 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code due to (i) returns of excess contributions to the plan, (ii) retirement of a participant in the plan, (iii) a loan from the plan (repayment of loans, however, will constitute new sales for purposes of assessing the contingent deferred sales charge), (iv) “financial hardship” of a participant in the plan, as that term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(k)-1(d)(2), as amended from time to time, (v) termination of employment of a participant in the plan, (vi) any other permissible withdrawal under the terms of the plan.
Systematic Withdrawal Plan
A Systematic Withdrawal Plan may be established by shareholders who wish to receive regularly scheduled payments. 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. There is no service charge on the Plan.
Sufficient shares will be liquidated at NAV to meet the specified withdrawals. Liquidation of shares may deplete or possibly use up the investment, particularly in the event of a market decline. Payments cannot be considered as actual yield or income since part of such payments is a return of capital. Withdrawals under a Withdrawal Plan will generally be considered taxable events. The maintenance of a Withdrawal Plan concurrently with purchases of additional shares of the Fund would be disadvantageous because of the sales commission payable in respect to such purchases. During the withdrawal period, no payments will be accepted under an Automatic Investment Plan. Income dividends and capital gains distributions are automatically reinvested at NAV.
70

The shareholder receives confirmation of each transaction showing the source of the payment and the share balance remaining in the Plan. A Plan may be terminated on written notice by the shareholder or by the Fund, and it will terminate automatically if all shares are liquidated or withdrawn from the account.
Dividends, Distributions and Taxes
Dividends and Distributions
Dividends from net investment income and any distributions of net realized capital gains from each Fund will be distributed as described in the Fund’s Prospectuses under “Dividends and Distributions.” If selling securities generates net capital gains for a Fund, the Fund will typically distribute these gains at the end of the calendar year. Any payment of an income dividend or distribution of capital gains will result in a decrease in a Fund’s NAV. Normally, unless a shareholder elects otherwise, all such distributions of a Fund will automatically be reinvested without charge in additional shares of the same Fund.
A Fund may make additional distributions to (i) the extent necessary or advisable to preserve the status of the Fund as a RIC and (ii) avoid imposition of income and excise taxes imposed by the Internal Revenue Code.
Federal Tax Treatment of Dividends and Distributions
The following is only a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations generally affecting the Funds and their shareholders. No attempt is made herein to present a comprehensive and detailed explanation of the federal, state, local or foreign tax treatment of the Funds or their shareholders, and the discussion in this SAI and in the Prospectuses is not intended to be a substitute for careful tax planning.
The following general discussion of certain federal income tax consequences is based on the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations issued thereunder as in effect on the date of this SAI. New legislation, as well as administrative changes or court decisions, may significantly change the conclusions expressed herein, and may have a retroactive effect with respect to the transactions contemplated herein.
Shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisers regarding the application of the provisions of tax law described in this SAI in light of their particular tax situations and regarding specific questions as to federal, state, or local taxes.
Regulated Investment Company Status
A fund that qualifies as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code will not be subject to federal income taxes on the net investment income and net realized capital gains that the fund timely distributes to the fund’s shareholders. Each Fund has elected and will seek to qualify for treatment as a RIC under the Internal Revenue Code. Provided that for each tax year, a Fund (i) meets the requirements to be treated as a RIC (as discussed below) and (ii) distributes an amount at least equal to the sum of 90% of the Fund’s net investment income for such year (including, for this purpose, the excess of net realized short-term capital gains over net long-term capital losses) and 90% of its net tax-exempt income for such year (the “Distribution Requirement”), the Fund itself will not be subject to federal income taxes to the extent the Fund’s net investment income and the Fund’s net realized capital gains, if any, that are distributed to the Fund’s shareholders in a timely manner. One of several requirements for RIC qualification is that the Fund must receive at least 90% of the Fund’s gross income each year from dividends, interest, payments with respect to certain securities loans, gains from the sale or other disposition of stock, securities or foreign currencies, other income derived with respect to the Fund’s business of investing in such stock, securities, and foreign currencies, and net income derived from interests in certain qualified publicly traded partnerships (the “90% Test”). A second requirement for qualification as a RIC is that a Fund must diversify its holdings so that, at the end of each quarter of the Fund’s taxable year: (a) at least 50% of the market value of the Fund’s total assets is represented by cash and cash items, U.S. government securities, securities of other RICs, and other securities, with these other securities limited, in respect to any one issuer, to an amount not greater than 5% of the value of the Fund’s total assets or 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer; and (b) not more than 25% of the value of its total assets is invested, including through corporations in which the Fund owns 20% or more voting stock interest, in the securities (other than U.S. government securities or securities of other RICs) of any one issuer, the securities (other than securities of other RICs) of two or more issuers which the Fund controls and which are engaged in the same, similar, or related trades or businesses, or the securities of one or more certain “qualified publicly traded partnerships” (the “Asset Test”).
71

In general, for purposes of the 90% Test described above, income derived from a partnership (or an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) will be treated as qualifying income only to the extent such income is attributable to items of income of the partnership that would be qualifying income if realized directly by a RIC. However, 100% of the net income derived from an interest in a “qualified publicly traded partnership” (generally, a partnership (i) interests in which are traded on an established securities market or are readily tradable on a secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof, (ii) that derives at least 90% of its income from the passive income sources specified in Internal Revenue Code section 7704(d), and (iii) that generally derives less than 90% of its income from the qualifying income described in the 90% Test) will be treated as qualifying income. In addition, although in general the passive loss rules of the Internal Revenue Code do not apply to RICs, such rules do apply to a RIC with respect to items attributable to an interest in a qualified publicly traded partnership.
For purposes of meeting the Asset Test, the term “outstanding voting securities of such issuer” will include the equity securities of a qualified publicly traded partnership. Also, for purposes of the Asset Test, the identification of the issuer (or, in some cases, issuers) of a particular Fund investment can depend on the terms and conditions of that investment. In some cases, identification of the issuer (or issuers) is uncertain under current law, and an adverse determination or future guidance by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) with respect to issuer identification for a particular type of investment may adversely affect a Fund’s ability to meet the Asset Test.
If a Fund fails to satisfy the 90% Test or the Asset Test, the Fund may be eligible for relief provisions if the failure is due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect and if a penalty tax is paid with respect to the failure to satisfy the applicable requirements. Additionally, relief is provided for certain de minimis failures of the Asset Test where a Fund corrects the failure within a specified period of time. In order to be eligible for the relief provisions with respect to a failure to meet the Asset Test, a Fund may be required to dispose of certain assets. If these relief provisions were not available to a Fund and it were to fail to qualify for treatment as a RIC for a taxable year, all of its taxable income would be subject to tax at the regular corporate rate (currently 21%) without any deduction for distributions to shareholders, and its distributions (including capital gains distributions) generally would be taxable as ordinary income dividends to its shareholders, to the extent of a Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, unless certain requirements are met for the dividends-received deduction for corporate shareholders or qualified dividend income (taxable at lower rates) for non-corporate shareholders. To requalify for treatment as a RIC in a subsequent taxable year, the Fund would be required to satisfy the RIC qualification requirements for that year and to distribute any earnings and profits (as calculated for federal income tax purposes) from any year in which the Fund failed to qualify for tax treatment as a RIC. If a Fund fails to qualify as a RIC for a period longer than two taxable years, it would generally be required to pay a Fund-level tax on certain net built-in gains recognized with respect to certain of its assets upon a disposition of such assets within five years of qualifying as a RIC in a subsequent year. The Board reserves the right not to maintain the qualification of a Fund as a RIC if it determines such course of action to be beneficial to shareholders. If a Fund determines that it will not qualify as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the Fund will establish procedures to reflect the anticipated tax liability in the Fund’s NAV.
If a Fund meets the Distribution Requirement but retains some or all of its income or gains, it will be subject to federal income tax to the extent any such income or gains are not distributed. The Fund may designate certain amounts retained as undistributed net capital gain in a notice to its shareholders, who (i) will be required to include in income for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as long-term capital gain, their proportionate shares of the undistributed amount so designated, (ii) will be entitled to credit their proportionate shares of the income tax paid by the Fund on that undistributed amount against their federal income tax liabilities and to claim refunds to the extent such credits exceed their liabilities and (iii) will be entitled to increase their tax basis, for federal income tax purposes, in their shares in the Fund by an amount equal to the excess of the amount of undistributed net capital gain included in their respective income over their respective income tax credits.
Each Fund will be subject to a nondeductible 4% federal excise tax on certain undistributed income if it does not distribute to its shareholders in each calendar year an amount at least equal to 98% of its ordinary income for the calendar year plus 98.2% of its capital gain net income for the one-year period ending on October 31 of such year, plus certain other amounts. Each Fund intends to make sufficient distributions, or deemed distributions, to avoid imposition of the excise tax but can make no assurances that all such tax liability will be eliminated. For example, a Fund may receive delayed or corrected tax reporting statements from its investments that cause such Fund to accrue additional income and gains after such Fund has already made its excise tax distributions for the year. In such a situation, a Fund may incur an excise tax liability resulting from such delayed receipt of such tax information statements. In certain circumstances, the Funds may be required to liquidate portfolio holdings in order to make
72

sufficient distributions to avoid federal excise tax liability at a time when the Advisor might not otherwise have chosen to do so. The liquidation of portfolio holdings in such circumstances may affect the ability of the Funds to satisfy the requirement for qualification as a RIC.
Capital losses in excess of capital gains (“net capital losses”) are not permitted to be deducted against a RIC’s net investment income. Instead, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, potentially subject to certain limitations, a Fund may carry net capital losses from any taxable year forward to offset capital gains in future years. If a Fund has a “net capital loss” (that is, capital losses in excess of capital gains), the excess of the Fund’s net short-term capital losses over its net long-term capital gains is treated as a short-term capital loss arising on the first day of the Fund’s next taxable year, and the excess (if any) of the Fund’s net long-term capital losses over its net short-term capital gains is treated as a long-term capital loss arising on the first day of the Fund’s next taxable year. In addition, the carryover of capital losses may be limited under the general loss limitation rules if a Fund experiences an ownership change as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. Generally, a Fund may not carry forward any losses other than net capital losses. Under certain circumstances, a Fund may elect to treat certain losses as though they were incurred on the first day of the taxable year immediately following the taxable year in which they were actually incurred.
Distributions to Shareholders
Each Fund intends to distribute to shareholders substantially all its net investment income and net realized capital gains to shareholders, at least annually. The distribution of net investment income and net realized capital gains will be taxable to Fund shareholders regardless of whether the shareholder elects to receive these distributions in cash or in additional shares.
If a Fund receives qualified dividend income, a portion of the dividends paid by the Fund may be treated as qualified dividend income, which for non-corporate shareholders is subject to tax at reduced rates. Qualified dividend income is, in general, dividend income from taxable domestic corporations and certain foreign corporations (i.e., foreign corporations incorporated in a possession of the United States or in countries with comprehensive tax treaties with the United States, and certain other foreign corporations if the stock with respect to which the dividend was paid is readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States).
In order for some portion of the dividends received by a Fund’s shareholders to be qualified dividend income, a Fund must meet holding period and other requirements with respect to the underlying dividend paying stock, and the shareholder must meet holding period and other requirements with respect to the Fund’s shares. Distributions received by a Fund from underlying fund taxable as a RIC (including an ETF that is taxable as a RIC) or from a U.S. REIT will be treated as qualified dividend income only to the extent so reported by such underlying fund or REIT. If 95% or more of a Fund’s gross income (ignoring gains attributable to the sale of stocks and securities except to the extent net short-term capital gain from such sales exceeds net long-term capital loss from such sales) in a taxable year is attributable to qualified dividend income, that Fund may report 100% of its distributions of such income as qualified dividend income. To the extent a Fund makes a distribution of income received by such Fund in lieu of dividends (a “substitute payment”) with respect to a securities loan or pursuant to a securities lending transaction, such income will not constitute qualified dividend income to individual shareholders and will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction for corporate shareholders. Certain Funds’ investment strategies (including securities lending, investments in derivatives, bonds, REITs, certain foreign corporations, among others) may significantly limit their ability to distribute dividends eligible for treatment as qualified dividend income.
Corporate shareholders may be entitled to a dividends-received deduction for any portion of dividends they receive that are attributable to dividends received by a Fund from U.S. corporations, subject to certain limitations. Certain Funds’ investment strategies may significantly limit their ability to distribute dividends eligible for the dividends-received deduction.
Distributions reported to Fund shareholders as capital gain dividends will be taxable as long-term capital gains, regardless of how long the shareholder has owned the shares. Distributions of net short-term capital gains will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income.
Although dividends generally will be treated as distributed when paid, any dividend declared by a Fund in October, November or December and payable to shareholders of record in such a month that is paid during the following January will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as received by shareholders on December 31 of the calendar year in which it was declared.
73

If a Fund’s distributions exceed its current and accumulated earnings and profits (as calculated for federal income tax purposes), all or a portion of the distributions made in the taxable year may be treated as a return of capital to shareholders. A return of capital distribution generally will not be taxable but will reduce the shareholder’s cost basis and result in a higher capital gain or lower capital loss when the shares on which the distribution was received are sold. After a shareholder’s basis in the shares has been reduced to zero, distributions in excess of earnings and profits will be treated as gain from the sale of the shareholder’s shares.
A dividend or distribution received shortly after the purchase of shares reduces the NAV of the shares by the amount of the dividend or distribution and, although in effect a return of capital, will be taxable to the shareholder. If the NAV of shares were reduced below the shareholder's cost by dividends or distributions representing gains realized on sales of securities, such dividends or distributions would be a return of investment though taxable to the shareholder in the same manner as other dividends or distributions.
Shareholders who have not held Fund shares for a full year should be aware that a Fund may report and distribute to a shareholder, as ordinary dividends or capital gain dividends, a percentage of income that is not equal to the percentage of the Fund’s ordinary income or net capital gain, respectively, actually earned during the shareholder’s period of investment in the Fund.
The Funds (or their administrative agent) will inform you of the amount of your ordinary income dividends, qualified dividend income, and capital gain distributions shortly after the close of each calendar year. Distributions may be subject to state and local taxes.
Net Investment Income Tax
U.S. individuals with income exceeding certain thresholds are subject to a 3.8% tax on all or a portion of their “net investment income,” which includes interest, dividends, and capital gains (including capital gains realized on the sale or exchange of shares). This 3.8% tax also applies to all or a portion of the undistributed net investment income of certain shareholders that are estates and trusts.
Sales, Exchanges and Redemptions
Sales, exchanges and redemptions of Fund shares are generally taxable transactions for federal income tax purposes (and may be taxable for state tax purposes). In general, if you hold your shares as a capital asset, gain or loss realized on a sale, redemption or exchange will be capital gain or loss and will be classified as long-term capital gain or loss if you held your shares for more than twelve months and otherwise will be classified as short-term capital gain or loss.
All or a portion of any loss realized by an investor upon the redemption of Fund shares will be disallowed to the extent that the investor purchases (or enters into a contract or option to purchase) shares by the investor within a period of 61 days (beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after the redemption). This loss disallowance rule will apply if shares are purchased through the reinvestment of dividends during the 61-day period. Any loss disallowed under these rules will be added to the tax basis in the newly purchased shares. In addition, any loss realized by a shareholder on the disposition of shares held for six months or less is treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of any distributions of any amounts treated as distributions to the shareholder of long-term capital gain with respect to such shares (including any amounts credited to the shareholder as undistributed capital gains).
Each Fund is generally required to report cost basis, gain or loss, and holding period information to you and the IRS when shares are redeemed. The Funds will use a default average cost method for reporting your cost basis for covered shares unless you provide instructions to the Funds to use another method. Under the average cost method, the basis per share is reported as an average of the bases of your Fund shares in your account. If you wish to choose another default cost basis method for your account you may select from among FIFO (“first-in-first-out”), LIFO (“last-in-first-out”) and HIFO (“highest-cost-in-first-out”). Accounts opened through a financial intermediary may be subject to different cost basis method policies. For more information about your financial intermediary’s rules and procedures, you should contact your financial intermediary directly. Fund shareholders should consult with their tax advisers prior to making redemptions to determine the best IRS accepted cost basis method for their tax situation and to obtain more information about the cost basis reporting rules.
74

Special Tax Considerations
Each Fund may invest in complex investments such as equity options, index options, repurchase agreements, foreign currency contracts, hedges and swaps, transactions treated as straddles for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and futures contracts. These investments may be subject to numerous special and complex tax rules. These rules could affect a Fund’s ability to qualify as a RIC, affect whether gains and losses recognized by a Fund are treated as ordinary income or capital gain, and accelerate the recognition of income to a Fund and/or defer a Fund’s ability to recognize losses. In turn, those rules may affect the amount, timing or character of the income distributed to you by a Fund.
Each Fund is required for federal income tax purposes to mark-to-market and recognize as income for each taxable year its net unrealized gains and losses on certain futures and options contracts that are subject to Section 1256 of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 1256 Contracts”) as of the end of the year as well as those actually realized during the year. Gain or loss from Section 1256 Contracts will be 60% long-term and 40% short-term capital gain or loss. Application of this rule may alter the timing and character of distributions to shareholders. A Fund may be required to defer the recognition of losses on Section 1256 Contracts to the extent of any unrecognized gains on offsetting positions held by the Fund.
Offsetting positions held by a Fund involving certain derivative instruments, such as options, forward contracts, and futures, as well as its long and short positions in portfolio securities may constitute a “straddle” for federal income tax purposes. A straddle of which at least one, but not all, the positions are Section 1256 Contracts may constitute a “mixed straddle.” In general, straddles are subject to certain rules that may affect the amount, character and timing of a Fund’s gains and losses with respect to straddle positions by requiring, among other things, that: (1) any loss realized on disposition of one position of a straddle may not be recognized to the extent that the Fund has unrealized gains with respect to the other position in such straddle; (2) the Fund’s holding period in straddle positions be suspended while the straddle exists (possibly resulting in a gain being treated as short-term capital gain rather than long-term capital gain); (3) the losses recognized with respect to certain straddle positions that are part of a mixed straddle and that are non-Section 1256 Contracts be treated as 60% long-term and 40% short-term capital loss; (4) losses recognized with respect to certain straddle positions that would otherwise constitute short-term capital losses be treated as long-term capital losses; and (5) the deduction of interest and carrying charges attributable to certain straddle positions may be deferred. Various elections are available to the Funds, which may mitigate the effects of the straddle rules, particularly with respect to mixed straddles.
In general, the straddle rules described above do not apply to any straddles held by a Fund if all of the offsetting positions consist of Section 1256 Contracts. The straddle rules described above also do not apply if all the offsetting positions making up a straddle consist of one or more “qualified covered call options” and the stock to be purchased under the options and the straddle is not part of a larger straddle. A qualified covered call option is generally any option granted by a Fund to purchase stock it holds (or stock it acquires in connection with granting the option) if, among other things, (1) the option is traded on a national securities exchange that is registered with the SEC or other market the IRS determined has rules adequate to carry out the purposes of the applicable Code provision, (2) the option is granted more than 30 days before it expires, (3) the option is not a “deep-in-the-money option,” (4) such option is not granted by an options dealer in connection with his activity of dealing in options, and (5) gain or loss with respect to the option is not ordinary income or loss.
If a Fund enters into a “constructive sale” of any appreciated financial position in its portfolio, the Fund will be treated as if it had sold and immediately repurchased the property and must recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to that position. A constructive sale of an appreciated financial position occurs when a Fund enters into certain offsetting transactions with respect to the same or substantially identical property, including, but not limited to: (i) a short sale; (ii) an offsetting notional principal contract; (iii) a futures or forward contract; or (iv) other transactions identified in future Treasury Regulations. The character of the gain from constructive sales will depend upon a Fund’s holding period in the appreciated financial position. Losses realized from a sale of a position that was previously the subject of a constructive sale will be recognized when the position is subsequently disposed of. The character of such losses will depend upon a Fund’s holding period in the position beginning with the date the constructive sale was deemed to have occurred and the application of various loss deferral provisions in the Code. Constructive sale treatment does not apply to certain closed transactions, including if such a transaction is closed on or before the 30th day after the close of a Fund’s taxable year and the Fund holds the appreciated financial position unhedged throughout the 60-day period beginning with the day such transaction was closed.

It is possible that a Fund's strategy of investing in derivatives such as swaps, futures contracts, options and other related financial instruments could cause a Fund to fail to satisfy the Asset Test, resulting in its failure to qualify as a RIC. Failure of the Asset Test might result from a determination by the IRS that financial instruments in which a Fund invests is not a security. Moreover, even if the financial instruments are treated as securities, a determination by the IRS regarding the identity of the issuers of the securities or the fair market values of the securities that differs from the determinations made by a Fund could result in the failure by such Fund to diversify its investments in a manner necessary to satisfy the Asset Test. The tax treatment of a Fund and its shareholders in the event the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC is described above under “Regulated Investment Company Status.”
Certain Funds may incur a liability for foreign withholding taxes as a result of investment in stock or securities of foreign corporations. If, at any year-end, more than 50% of the assets of a Fund are comprised of stock or securities of foreign corporations, the Fund may elect, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, to treat foreign income or withholding taxes paid by the Fund as paid by its shareholders.
If a Fund owns shares in certain foreign investment entities, referred to as “passive foreign investment companies” or “PFICs,” the Fund will generally be subject to one of the following special tax regimes: (i) the Fund may be liable for U.S. federal income tax, and an additional interest charge, on a portion of any “excess distribution” from such foreign entity or any gain from the disposition of such shares, even if the entire distribution or gain is paid out by the Fund as a dividend to its shareholders; (ii) if the Fund were able and elected to treat a PFIC as a “qualified electing fund” or “QEF,” the Fund would be required each year to include in income, and distribute to shareholders in accordance with the distribution requirements set forth above, the Fund’s pro rata share of the ordinary earnings and net capital gains of the PFIC, whether or not such earnings or gains are distributed to the Fund; or (iii) the Fund may be entitled to mark-to-market annually shares of the PFIC, and in such event would be required to distribute to shareholders any such mark-to-market gains in accordance with the distribution requirements set forth above. Such Fund intends to make the appropriate tax elections, if possible, and take any additional steps that are necessary to mitigate the effect of these rules. Amounts included in income each year by a Fund as a result of a QEF election will be “qualifying income”, even if not distributed to the Fund, to the extent such income is derived with respect to such Fund’s business of investing in stock, securities or currencies.
A Fund may invest in certain MLPs which may be treated as “qualified publicly traded partnerships.” Income from qualified publicly traded partnerships is qualifying income for purposes of the 90% Test, but a Fund’s investment in one or more of such “qualified publicly traded partnerships” is limited under the Asset Test to no more than 25% of the value of the Fund’s assets. The Funds will monitor their investments in such qualified publicly traded partnerships in order to ensure compliance with the 90% Test and the Asset Test. MLPs and other partnerships that the Funds may invest in will deliver Schedule K-1s to the Funds to report their share of income, gains, losses, deductions and credits of the MLP or other partnership. These Schedule K-1s may be delayed and may not be received until after the time that a Fund issues its tax reporting statements. As a result, a Fund may at times find it necessary to reclassify the amount and character of its distributions to you after it issues you your tax reporting statement.
“Qualified publicly traded partnership income” within the meaning of Section 199A(e)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code is eligible for a 20% deduction by non-corporate taxpayers. Qualified publicly traded partnership income is generally income of a “publicly traded partnership” that is not treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes that is effectively connected with such entity’s trade or business but does not include certain investment income. A “publicly traded partnership” for purposes of this deduction is not necessarily the same as a “qualified publicly traded partnership” as defined for the purpose of the immediately preceding paragraphs. This deduction, if allowed in full, equates to a maximum effective tax rate of 29.6% (37% top rate applied to income after 20% deduction). A RIC, such as a Fund, is not permitted to pass the special character of this income through to its shareholders. Direct investors in entities that generate “qualified publicly traded partnership income” will enjoy the lower rate, but investors in RICs that invest in such entities will not.
A Fund may invest in U.S. REITs. Investments in REIT equity securities may require a Fund to accrue and distribute income not yet received. To generate sufficient cash to make the requisite distributions, a 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. A Fund’s investments in REIT equity securities may at other times result in a Fund’s receipt of cash in excess of the REIT’s earnings; if a Fund distributes these amounts, these distributions could constitute a return of capital to such Fund’s shareholders for federal income tax purposes. Dividends paid by a REIT, other than capital gain distributions, will be taxable as ordinary income up to the amount of the REIT’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Capital gain dividends paid by a REIT to a Fund will be treated as long-term capital gains by the Fund and, in turn, may be distributed by the Fund to its shareholders as a capital gain distribution. Dividends received by a
76

Fund from a REIT generally will not constitute qualified dividend income or qualify for the dividends-received deduction. If a REIT is operated in a manner such that it fails to qualify as a REIT, an investment in the REIT would become subject to double taxation, meaning the taxable income of the REIT would be subject to federal income tax at the regular corporate rate (currently 21%) without any deduction for dividends paid to shareholders and the dividends would be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income (or possibly as qualified dividend income) to the extent of the REIT’s current and accumulated earnings and profits.
REITs in which a Fund invests often do not provide complete and final tax information to the Fund until after the time that the Fund issues a tax reporting statement. As a result, a Fund may at times find it necessary to reclassify the amount and character of its distributions to you after it issues your tax reporting statement. When such reclassification is necessary, you will be sent a corrected, final Form 1099-DIV to reflect the reclassified information. If you receive a corrected Form 1099-DIV, use the information on this corrected form, and not the information on the previously issued tax reporting statement, in completing your tax returns.
“Qualified REIT dividends” (i.e., ordinary REIT dividends other than capital gain dividends and portions of REIT dividends designated as qualified dividend income eligible for capital gain tax rates) are eligible for a 20% deduction by non-corporate taxpayers. This deduction, if allowed in full, equates to a maximum effective tax rate of 29.6% (37% top rate applied to income after 20% deduction). Distributions by a Fund to its shareholders that are attributable to qualified REIT dividends received by such Fund and which such Fund properly reports as “section 199A dividends,” are treated as “qualified REIT dividends” in the hands of non-corporate shareholders. A section 199A dividend is treated as a qualified REIT dividend only if the shareholder receiving such dividend holds the dividend-paying RIC shares for at least 46 days of the 91-day period beginning 45 days before the shares become ex-dividend, and is not under an obligation to make related payments with respect to a position in substantially similar or related property. A Fund is permitted to report such part of its dividends as section 199A dividends as are eligible but is not required to do so.
Options Transactions by the Funds
If a call option written by a Fund expires, the amount of the premium received by a Fund for the option will be short-term capital gain to the Fund. If such an option is closed by a Fund, any gain or loss realized by a Fund as a result of the closing purchase transaction will be short-term capital gain or loss. If the holder of a call option exercises the holder’s right under the option, any gain or loss realized by a Fund upon the sale of the underlying security or underlying futures contract pursuant to such exercise will be short-term or long-term capital gain or loss to a Fund depending on the Fund’s holding period for the underlying security or underlying futures contract.
With respect to call options purchased by a Fund, a Fund will realize short-term or long-term capital gain or loss if such option is sold and will realize short-term or long-term capital loss if the option is allowed to expire depending on the Fund’s holding period for the call option. If such a call option is exercised, the amount paid by the Fund for the option will be added to the basis of the stock or futures contract so acquired.
Each Fund may utilize options on securities indices. Options on “broad based” securities indices are classified as “non-equity options” under the Internal Revenue Code. Gains and losses resulting from the expiration, exercise, or closing of such non-equity options, as well as gains and losses resulting from futures contract transactions, will be treated as 60% long-term capital gain or loss and 40% short-term capital gain or loss (hereinafter, “blended gain or loss”). In addition, any non-equity option and futures contract held by a Fund on the last day of a fiscal year will be treated as sold for market value on that date, and gain or loss recognized as a result of such deemed sale will be blended gain or loss.
The trading strategies of each of the Funds involving non-equity options on securities indices may constitute “straddle” transactions. “Straddles” may affect the taxation of such instruments and may cause the postponement of recognition of losses incurred in certain closing transactions. Each Fund will also have available a number of elections under the Internal Revenue Code concerning the treatment of option transactions for tax purposes. Each such Fund intends to utilize the tax treatment that, in the Fund’s judgment, will be most favorable to a majority of investors in the Fund. Taxation of these transactions will vary according to the elections made by a Fund. These tax considerations may have an impact on investment decisions made by a Fund.
77

Foreign Taxes
Dividends and interest received by a Fund may be subject to income, withholding or other taxes imposed by foreign countries and U.S. possessions that would reduce the yield on the Fund’s stocks or securities. Tax conventions between certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate these taxes. Foreign countries generally do not impose taxes on capital gains with respect to investments by foreign investors.
Backup Withholding
In certain cases a Fund will be required to withhold (as “backup withholding”) and remit to the U.S. Treasury an amount equal to the applicable backup withholding rate applied to reportable taxable dividends and distributions, as well as the proceeds of any redemptions of Fund shares, paid to a shareholder who: (1) has failed to provide a correct taxpayer identification number (usually the shareholder’s social security number); (2) is subject to backup withholding by the IRS; (3) has failed to provide the Fund with the certifications required by the IRS to document that the shareholder is not subject to backup withholding; or (4) has failed to certify that he or she is a U.S. person (including a U.S. resident alien). The backup withholding rate is 24%.
Non-U.S. Shareholders
Ordinary dividends and certain other payments made by a Fund to non-U.S. shareholders are generally subject to withholding tax at a 30% rate (or such lower rate as may be determined in accordance with any applicable treaty). A Fund may, under certain circumstances, report all or a portion of a dividend as an “interest-related dividend” or a “short-term capital dividend,” which would generally be exempt from this 30% U.S. withholding tax provided certain other requirements are met. In order to obtain a reduced rate of withholding, a non-U.S. shareholder will be required to provide an IRS Form W-8BEN, or other applicable form, certifying its entitlement to benefits under a treaty. The withholding tax does not apply to regular dividends paid to a non-U.S. shareholder who provides a Form W-8ECI, certifying that the dividends are effectively connected with the non-U.S. shareholder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States. Instead, the effectively connected dividends will be subject to regular U.S. income tax as if the non-U.S. shareholder were a U.S. shareholder. A non-U.S. corporation receiving effectively connected dividends may also be subject to additional “branch profits tax” imposed at a rate of 30% (or a lower treaty rate). A non-U.S. shareholder who fails to provide an IRS Form W-8BEN or other applicable form may be subject to backup withholding at the appropriate rate. This 30% withholding tax generally will not apply to net capital gains distributions or to redemption proceeds.
Under legislation generally known as “FATCA” (the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act), the Funds are required to withhold 30% of certain ordinary dividends they pay to shareholders that fail to meet prescribed information reporting or certification requirements. In general, no such withholding will be required with respect to a U.S. person or non-U.S. person that timely provides the certifications required by a Fund or their agent on a valid IRS Form W-9 or applicable series of IRS Form W-8, respectively. Shareholders potentially subject to withholding include foreign financial institutions (“FFIs”), such as non-U.S. investment funds, and non-financial foreign entities (“NFFEs”). To avoid withholding under FATCA, an FFI generally must enter into an information sharing agreement with the IRS in which it agrees to report certain identifying information (including name, address, and taxpayer identification number) with respect to its U.S. account holders (which, in the case of an entity shareholder, may include its direct and indirect U.S. owners), and an NFFE generally must identify and provide other required information to the Funds or other withholding agent regarding its U.S. owners, if any. Such non-U.S. shareholders also may fall into certain exempt, excepted or deemed compliant categories as established by regulations and other guidance. A non-U.S. shareholder resident or doing business in a country that has entered into an intergovernmental agreement with the U.S. to implement FATCA will be exempt from FATCA withholding provided that the shareholder and the applicable foreign government comply with the terms of the agreement. A non-U.S. entity that invests in a Fund will need to provide such Fund with documentation properly certifying the entity’s status under FATCA in order to avoid FATCA withholding. Non-U.S. investors in the Funds should consult their tax advisors in this regard.
Tax-Exempt Shareholders
Certain tax-exempt shareholders, including qualified pension plans, IRAs, salary deferral arrangements, 401(k)s, and other tax-exempt entities, generally are exempt from federal income taxation except with respect to their unrelated business taxable income (“UBTI”). Tax-exempt entities are not permitted to offset losses from one trade or business against the income or gain of another trade or business. Certain net losses incurred prior to January 1, 2018 are permitted to offset gain and income created by an unrelated trade or business, if otherwise available. Under current law, the Funds generally serve to block UBTI from being realized by their tax-exempt shareholders. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, the tax-exempt shareholder could realize UBTI by virtue of an investment in a Fund
78

where, for example: (i) the Fund invests in residual interests of Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits (“REMICs”), (ii) the Fund invests in a REIT that is a taxable mortgage pool (“TMP”) or that has a subsidiary that is a TMP or that invests in the residual interest of a REMIC, or (iii) shares in the Fund constitute debt-financed property in the hands of the tax-exempt shareholder within the meaning of section 514(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. Charitable remainder trusts are subject to special rules and should consult their tax adviser. The IRS has issued guidance with respect to these issues and prospective shareholders, especially charitable remainder trusts, are strongly encouraged to consult their tax advisers regarding these issues.
A Fund’s shares held in a tax-qualified retirement account will generally not be subject to federal taxation on income and capital gains distributions from the Fund until a shareholder begins receiving payments from their retirement account. Because each shareholder’s tax situation is different, shareholders should consult their tax adviser about the tax implications of an investment in the Funds.
Tax Shelter Reporting Obligations
If a shareholder recognizes a loss of $2 million or more for an individual shareholder or $10 million or more for a corporate shareholder, the shareholder must file with the IRS a disclosure statement on Form 8886. Direct shareholders of portfolio securities are in many cases excepted from this reporting requirement, but under current guidance, shareholders of a RIC, such as a Fund, are not excepted. Significant penalties may be imposed for the failure to comply with the reporting requirements. The fact that a loss is reportable under these regulations does not affect the legal determination of whether the taxpayer’s treatment of the loss is proper. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors to determine the applicability of these regulations in light of their individual circumstances.
State Taxes
Each Fund may be subject to tax or taxes in certain states where the Fund does business. Furthermore, in those states which have income tax laws, the tax treatment of a Fund and of Fund shareholders with respect to distributions by the Fund may differ from federal income tax treatment. It is expected that a Fund will not be liable for any excise, income or franchise tax in Delaware if it qualifies as a RIC for federal income tax purposes.
In some states ownership of Fund shares also may be subject to state and local taxation. In some states, distributions paid from interest earned on direct obligations of the U.S. government may be exempt from personal income tax. Investment in Government National Mortgage Association or Fannie Mae securities, banker’s acceptances, commercial paper and repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. government securities do not generally qualify for such tax-free treatment. You should consult your tax adviser concerning the possible qualification of Fund distributions for any exemption in your state.
Shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisers regarding the application of the provisions of tax law described in this SAI in light of the particular tax situations of the shareholders and regarding specific questions as to federal, state, or local taxes.
Other Information
Portfolio Holdings
It is the policy of the Funds to protect the confidentiality of their portfolio holdings and information derived from the portfolio holdings and prevent the selective disclosure of such non-public information. Accordingly, the Board has adopted formal procedures governing compliance with this policy, which are subject to periodic evaluation and review. Any violations of this policy are reported to the Board on a quarterly basis.
Non-public portfolio holdings may not be disclosed to any unaffiliated third party, except when the Funds have a legitimate business purpose for doing so. Specifically, non-public portfolio holdings information may only be made available to third parties if: (i) such availability is disclosed in the Funds’ registration statement, as required by applicable law, as well as on the Funds’ website, if applicable; (ii) the Funds’ officers determine such disclosure is in the best interests of Fund shareholders; (iii) such information is available on an equal basis to anyone requesting it; and (iv) the Advisor determines that the disclosure does not present the risk of such information being used to trade against the Funds to their detriment. In addition, prior to authorizing the disclosure of a Fund’s non-public portfolio holdings, the Fund’s President and/or the Chief Compliance Officer must determine that: (i) such disclosure serves a reasonable business purpose and is in the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders; and (ii) that no conflict exists between the interests of the Fund’s shareholders and those of the (1) Advisor, (2) the Distributor, or (3) any affiliated
79

person of the Fund, the affiliated person's investment adviser, or the affiliated person's principal underwriter. Each Fund or its duly authorized service providers may publicly disclose holdings of the Fund in accordance with regulatory requirements, such as periodic portfolio disclosure in filings with the SEC.
Recipients of non-public portfolio holdings information, such as mutual fund evaluation services and due diligence departments of broker/dealers and wirehouses, will be subject to a duty of confidentiality, and a duty to not trade based on the non-public information and/or other restrictions on the use and dissemination of the information.
Portfolio holdings information may be disclosed as frequently as daily to certain service providers and no more frequently than monthly to ratings agencies, consultants and other qualified financial professionals. The policy does not require a delay between the date of the portfolio holding information and the date on which the information is disclosed.
The Funds also may disclose portfolio holdings information on an ongoing basis to certain service providers of the Funds and others, who either by agreement or because of their respective duties to the Funds are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information disclosed. The Funds’ service providers and others who generally are provided such information in the performance of their contractual duties and responsibilities may include the Advisor, Bank of New York (the Funds’ custodian and administrator), Ernst & Young LLP (the Funds’ independent registered public accountant), Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP (legal counsel to the Funds), Vedder Price P.C. (legal counsel to the Funds’ Independent Trustees), investment management trade associations (e.g., Investment Company Institute), officers and directors, and each of their respective affiliates. In addition, at this time, portfolio holdings information is shared as follows:

(ICE) (the Funds’ pricing services); Institutional Shareholder Services (proxy voting services); and NEXEN (Eagle) (the Funds’ accounting system).
Neither the Funds, their service providers, nor the Advisor may receive compensation or other consideration in connection with the disclosure of information about portfolio securities.
Each Fund will publish a complete list of its quarter-end portfolio holdings on its website at www.guggenheiminvestments.com within 60 days of the quarter-end. Such information will remain available, free of charge, on the website for 12 months, or as otherwise required by law. Also, certain Funds may disclose top 10 holdings on a quarterly or other periodic basis through publicly available marketing materials.
The Advisor seeks to limit the selective disclosure of portfolio holdings information and such selective disclosure is monitored under the Funds’ compliance program for conformity with the policies and procedures. However, there can be no assurance that these policies will protect the Funds from the potential misuse of holdings information by individuals or firms in possession of that information.
Voting Rights
Each share has one vote with respect to matters upon which a shareholder vote is required consistent with the requirements of the 1940 Act and the rules promulgated thereunder. Shareholders will receive one vote for every full Fund share owned. Each Fund or class of a Fund, as applicable, will vote separately on matters relating solely to that Fund or class. Each Fund’s shares are freely transferable.
80

As a Delaware statutory trust, the Trust is not required to hold annual shareholder meetings unless otherwise required by the 1940 Act. However, a meeting may be called by shareholders owning at least 10% of the outstanding shares of the Trust. If a meeting is requested by shareholders, the Trust will provide appropriate assistance and information to the shareholders who requested the meeting. Shareholder inquiries can be made by calling 1-800-820-0888 or by writing to the Trust at 702 King Farm Boulevard, Suite 200, Rockville, Maryland 20850.
Reporting
As a shareholder of a Fund, you will receive the unaudited financial information and audited financial statements for that Fund. In addition, the Trust will send you proxy statements and other reports related to the Fund in which you own shares. If you are a customer of a financial institution that has purchased shares of a Fund for your account, you may, depending upon the nature of your account, receive all or a portion of this information directly from your financial institution.
Shareholder Inquiries
Shareholders may visit the Trust’s website at www.guggenheiminvestments.com or call 1-800-820-0888 to obtain information on account statements, procedures, and other related information.

Appendix A

Description of Ratings
Bond Ratings
Below is a description of S&P Global Ratings and its affiliates (collectively, “S&P”), Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and Fitch Ratings, Inc. (“Fitch”) bond rating categories.
S&P Global Ratings
Long-Term Issue Credit Ratings*
AAA—An obligation rated 'AAA' has the highest rating assigned by S&P Global Ratings. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is extremely strong.
AA—An obligation rated 'AA' differs from the highest-rated obligations only to a small degree. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is very strong.
A—An obligation rated 'A' is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher-rated categories. However, the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is still strong.
BBB—An obligation rated 'BBB' exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to weaken the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.
BB, B, CCC, CC, and C—Obligations rated 'BB', 'B', 'CCC', 'CC', and 'C' are regarded as having significant speculative characteristics. 'BB' indicates the least degree of speculation and 'C' the highest. While such obligations will likely have some quality and protective characteristics, these may be outweighed by large uncertainties or major exposure to adverse conditions.
BB—An obligation rated 'BB' is less vulnerable to nonpayment than other speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions that could lead to the obligor's inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.
B—An obligation rated 'B' is more vulnerable to nonpayment than obligations rated 'BB', but the obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation. Adverse business, financial, or economic conditions will likely impair the obligor's capacity or willingness to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.
CCC—An obligation rated 'CCC' is currently vulnerable to nonpayment and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitments on the obligation. In the event of adverse business, financial, or economic conditions, the obligor is not likely to have the capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.
CC—An obligation rated 'CC' is currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment. The 'CC' rating is used when a default has not yet occurred but S&P Global Ratings expects default to be a virtual certainty, regardless of the anticipated time to default.
C—An obligation rated 'C' is currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment, and the obligation is expected to have lower relative seniority or lower ultimate recovery compared with obligations that are rated higher.
D—An obligation rated 'D' is in default or in breach of an imputed promise. For non-hybrid capital instruments, the 'D' rating category is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due, unless S&P Global Ratings believes that such payments will be made within five business days in the absence of a stated grace period or within the earlier of the stated grace period or 30 calendar days. The 'D' rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of similar action and where default on an obligation is a virtual certainty, for example due to automatic stay provisions. A rating on an obligation is lowered to 'D' if it is subject to a distressed exchange offer.
A-1

NR—This indicates that no rating has been requested, or that there is insufficient information on which to base a rating, or that S&P Global Ratings does not rate a particular obligation as a matter of policy.
*
The ratings from "AA" to "CCC" may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the major rating categories.
Short-Term Issue Credit Ratings
A-1—A short-term obligation rated 'A-1' is rated in the highest category by S&P Global Ratings. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is strong. Within this category, certain obligations are designated with a plus sign (+). This indicates that the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on these obligations is extremely strong.
A-2—A short-term obligation rated 'A-2' is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher rating categories. However, the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is satisfactory.
A-3—A short-term obligation rated 'A-3' exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to weaken an obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.
B—A short-term obligation rated 'B' is regarded as vulnerable and has significant speculative characteristics. The obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitments; however, it faces major ongoing uncertainties that could lead to the obligor's inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitments.
C—A short-term obligation rated 'C' is currently vulnerable to nonpayment and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.
D—A short-term obligation rated 'D' is in default or in breach of an imputed promise. For non-hybrid capital instruments, the 'D' rating category is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due, unless S&P Global Ratings believes that such payments will be made within any stated grace period. However, any stated grace period longer than five business days will be treated as five business days. The 'D' rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of a similar action and where default on an obligation is a virtual certainty, for example due to automatic stay provisions. A rating on an obligation is lowered to 'D' if it is subject to a distressed exchange offer.

Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.
Corporate Bond Ratings
Aaa
Obligations rated Aaa are judged to be of the highest quality, subject to the lowest level of credit risk.
Aa
Obligations rated Aa are judged to be of high quality and are subject to very low credit risk.
A
Obligations rated A are judged to be upper-medium grade and are subject to low credit risk.
Baa
Obligations rated Baa are judged to be medium-grade and subject to moderate credit risk and as such may possess certain speculative characteristics.
Ba
Obligations rated Ba are judged to be speculative and are subject to substantial credit risk.
B
Obligations rated B are considered speculative and are subject to high credit risk.
A-2

Caa
Obligations rated Caa are judged to be speculative of poor standing and are subject to very high credit risk.
Ca
Obligations rated Ca are highly speculative and are likely in, or very near, default, with some prospect of recovery of principal and interest.
C
Obligations rated C are the lowest rated and are typically in default, with little prospect for recovery of principal or interest.
Note: Moody’s appends numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 to each generic rating classification from Aa through Caa. The modifier 1 indicates that the obligation ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier 3 indicates a ranking in the lower end of that generic rating category. Additionally, a “(hyb)” indicator is appended to all ratings of hybrid securities issued by banks, insurers, finance companies, and securities firms.
By their terms, hybrid securities allow for the omission of scheduled dividends, interest, or principal payments, which can potentially result in impairment if such an omission occurs. Hybrid securities also may be subject to contractually allowable write-downs of principal that could result in impairment. Together with the hybrid indicator, the long-term obligation rating assigned to a hybrid security is an expression of the relative credit risk associated with that security.
For more information on long-term ratings assigned to obligations in default, please visit Moody’s website at www.moodys.com.
Fitch Ratings, Inc.
Rated entities in a number of sectors, including financial and non-financial corporations, sovereigns, insurance companies and certain sectors within public finance, are generally assigned Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs). IDRs are also assigned to certain entities or enterprises in global infrastructure, project finance and public finance. IDRs opine on an entity’s relative vulnerability to default (including by way of a distressed debt exchange) on financial obligations. The threshold default risk addressed by the IDR is generally that of the financial obligations whose non-payment would best reflect the uncured failure of that entity. As such, IDRs also address relative vulnerability to bankruptcy, administrative receivership or similar concepts.
In aggregate, IDRs provide an ordinal ranking of issuers based on the agency’s view of their relative vulnerability to default, rather than a prediction of a specific percentage likelihood of default.
Long-Term Credit Ratings Scales
AAA Highest credit quality. ‘AAA’ ratings denote the lowest expectation of default risk. They are assigned only in cases of exceptionally strong capacity for payment of financial commitments. This capacity is highly unlikely to be adversely affected by foreseeable events.
AA Very high credit quality. ‘AA’ ratings denote expectations of very low default risk. They indicate very strong capacity for payment of financial commitments. This capacity is not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable events.
A High credit quality. ‘A’ ratings denote expectations of low default risk. The capacity for payment of financial commitments is considered strong. This capacity may, nevertheless, be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic conditions than is the case for higher ratings.
BBB Good credit quality. ‘BBB’ ratings indicate that expectations of default risk are currently low. The capacity for payment of financial commitments is considered adequate but adverse business or economic conditions are more likely to impair this capacity.
BB Speculative. ‘BB’ ratings indicate an elevated vulnerability to default risk, particularly in the event of adverse changes in business or economic conditions over time; however, business or financial flexibility exists that supports the servicing of financial commitments.
A-3

B Highly speculative. ‘B’ ratings indicate that material default risk is present, but a limited margin of safety remains. Financial commitments are currently being met; however, capacity for continued payment is vulnerable to deterioration in the business and economic environment.
CCC Substantial credit risk. Default is a real possibility.
CC Very high levels of credit risk. Default of some kind appears probable.
C Near default. A default or default-like process has begun, or the issuer is in standstill, or for a closed funding vehicle, payment capacity is irrevocably impaired. Conditions that are indicative of a ‘C’ category rating for an issuer include:
the issuer has entered into a grace or cure period following non-payment of a material financial obligation;
the issuer has entered into a temporary negotiated waiver or standstill agreement following a payment default on a material financial obligation;
the formal announcement by the issuer or their agent of a distressed debt exchange;
a closed financing vehicle where payment capacity is irrevocably impaired such that it is not expected to pay interest and/or principal in full during the life of the transaction, but where no payment default is imminent.
RD Restricted default. ‘RD’ ratings indicate an issuer that in Fitch’s opinion has experienced:
an uncured payment default or distressed debt exchange on a bond, loan or other material financial obligation but
has not entered into bankruptcy filings, administration, receivership, liquidation or other formal winding-up procedure,
and has not otherwise ceased operating. This would include:
the selective payment default on a specific class or currency of debt;
the uncured expiry of any applicable grace period, cure period or default forbearance period following a payment default on a bank loan, capital markets security or other material financial obligation;
the extension of multiple waivers or forbearance periods upon a payment default on one or more material financial obligations, either in series or in parallel; ordinary execution of a distressed debt exchange on one or more material financial obligations.
D Default. ‘D’ ratings indicate an issuer that in Fitch Ratings’ opinion has entered into bankruptcy filings, administration, receivership, liquidation or other formal winding-up procedure or that has otherwise ceased business.
Default ratings are not assigned prospectively to entities or their obligations; within this context, non-payment on an instrument that contains a deferral feature or grace period will generally not be considered a default until after the expiration of the deferral or grace period, unless a default is otherwise driven by bankruptcy or other similar circumstance, or by a distressed debt exchange.
In all cases, the assignment of a default rating reflects the agency’s opinion as to the most appropriate rating category consistent with the rest of its universe of ratings and may differ from the definition of default under the terms of an issuer’s financial obligations or local commercial practice.
Short-Term Ratings Assigned to Issuers and Obligations. A short-term issuer or obligation rating is based in all cases on the short-term vulnerability to default of the rated entity and relates to the capacity to meet financial obligations in accordance with the documentation governing the relevant obligation. Short-term deposit ratings may be adjusted for loss severity. Short-Term Ratings are assigned to obligations whose initial maturity is viewed as “short term” based on market convention. Typically, this means up to 13 months for corporate, sovereign, and structured obligations, and up to 36 months for obligations in U.S. public finance markets.
F1: Highest Short-Term Credit Quality. Indicates the strongest intrinsic capacity for timely payment of financial commitments; may have an added “+” to denote any exceptionally strong credit feature.
F2: Good Short-Term Credit Quality. Good intrinsic capacity for timely payment of financial commitments.
A-4

F3: Fair Short-Term Credit Quality. The intrinsic capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is adequate.
B: Speculative Short-Term Credit Quality. Minimal capacity for timely payment of financial commitments, plus heightened vulnerability to near term adverse changes in financial and economic conditions.
C: High Short-Term Default Risk. Default is a real possibility.
RD: Restricted Default. Indicates an entity that has defaulted on one or more of its financial commitments, although it continues to meet other financial obligations. Typically, applicable to entity ratings only.
D: Default. Indicates a broad-based default event for an entity, or the default of a short-term obligation.
A-5

Item 29.Persons Controlled By or Under Common Control With Registrant.
Not applicable.
Item 30.Indemnification.
The Registrant is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is operated pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated August 6, 1999, as revised November 23, 1999 (the “Declaration of Trust”), that permits the Registrant to indemnify its trustees and officers under certain circumstances. Such indemnification, however, is subject to the limitations imposed by the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”), and the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Declaration of Trust provides that officers and trustees of the Trust shall be indemnified by the Trust against liabilities and expenses of defense in proceedings against them by reason of the fact that they each serve as an officer or trustee of the Trust or as an officer or trustee of another entity at the request of the entity. This indemnification is subject to the following conditions:
(a)
no trustee or officer of the Trust is indemnified against any liability to the Trust or its security holders which was the result of any willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of his duties;
(b)
officers and trustees of the Trust are indemnified only for actions taken in good faith which the officers and trustees believed were in or not opposed to the best interests of the Trust; and
(c)
expenses of any suit or proceeding will be paid in advance only if the persons who will benefit by such advance undertake to repay the expenses unless it subsequently is determined that such persons are entitled to indemnification.
The Declaration of Trust of the Registrant provides that if indemnification is not ordered by a court, indemnification may be authorized upon determination by shareholders, or by a majority vote of a quorum of the trustees who were not parties to the proceedings or, if this quorum is not obtainable, if directed by a quorum of disinterested trustees, or by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the persons to be indemnified have met the applicable standard.
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the 1933 Act may be permitted to directors, 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 SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 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 director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, 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 1933 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
Item 31.Business and Other Connections of the Investment Adviser.
Security Investors, LLC (“Security Investors”) serves as investment advisor for each series of the Trust. 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, 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.
