1Rydex Sector Rotation Fund may not be suitable for all investors. Investing in sector funds is more volatile than investing in broadly diversified funds as there can be greater risk due to the concentration of the fund’s holding in issuers of the same or similar offerings. As a result, changes in the market value of a single security could cause greater fluctuations in the value of the fund shares than would occur in a more diversified fund. Composition is subject to change. Shares are not deposits of any bank, are not guaranteed by any bank, are not insured by the FDIC or any other agency, and involve investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.

With respect to these multi-cap core funds, Rydex Sector Rotation Fund H-Class received a Lipper Ranking of one out of 650 for the three-year period and 75 out of 495 for the five-year period.
The fund is ranked based on total return as of 12/31/2007. Each fund is ranked within a universe of funds with similar portfolio characteristics and capitalizations. Ranking include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but exclude the effect of the fund’s sales load, if applicable.

3Rydex Alternative Strategies Allocation Fund is subject to a number of risks and may not be suitable for all investors. Although the fund's asset allocation among several underlying funds that represent different alternative asset classes and strategies generally limits risk and exposure to any one asset class or strategy, the risk remains that the fund’s investment advisor may favor an asset class or strategy that performs poorly relative to other asset classes and strategies. There is also no guarantee that the underlying funds will achieve their investment objectives. Each of the underlying funds in which the fund invests has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the fund's shares and investments. The risks of the underlying funds include those associated with investments in derivative instruments, leveraged and short selling techniques, commodities markets, foreign securities and currencies and lower rated ('junk') bonds. Additionally, the fund will bear a proportionate share of each underlying fund's operating expenses. See the prospectus for more information on these and additional risks.
4Diversification neither ensures a profit nor eliminates the risk of experiencing investment losses.
5Rydex Russell Top 50® ETF is subject to risks similar to those of stocks and may not be suitable for all investors. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that when shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less than original cost. Additionally, the fund is subject to the risk that large-capitalization stocks may underperform other segments of the equity market or the equity markets as a whole. See the prospectus for more details.

6 Rydex S&P Equal Weight ETF is subject to risks similar to those of stocks and may not be suitable for all investors. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that when shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less than original cost. The elimination of the bias toward large-cap companies in the fund lessens the impact of large-cap gains as compared to those reflected in funds benchmarked to the S&P 500. Please see the prospectus for more details.
7RydexShares are subject to risks similar to those of stocks and may not be suitable for all investors. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that when shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less than original cost. Inverse and leveraged ETFs may not be suitable for all investors. The more an ETF invests in leveraged instruments, the more the leverage will magnify any gains or losses on those investments. This fund may not be suitable for all investors. Inverse funds involve certain risks, which include increased volatility due to the funds’ possible use of short sales of securities and derivatives, such as options and futures. The funds' use of derivatives, such as futures, options and swap agreements, may expose the funds' shareholders to additional risks that they would not be subject to if they invested directly in the securities underlying those derivatives. Short-selling involves increased risks and costs. You risk paying more for a security than you received from its sale.
