Rydex Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)
Rydex ETFs are available in the secondary market via transactions through brokers. Shares trade on an Exchange under the ticker symbol listed in the applicable Rydex prospectus. Shares can be bought and sold throughout the trading day like other publicly traded securities. When buying or selling shares through a broker, most investors will incur customary brokerage commissions and charges. Please talk to your financial intermediary if you are interested in Rydex ETF products.

ETFs are subject to risks similar to those of stocks and may not be suitable for all investors. Shares can be bought and sold through a broker and the selling shareholder may have to pay brokerage commissions in connection with the sale. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that when shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less than original cost. Shares may only be redeemed directly from the fund by Authorized Participants via Creation Units.

An investment in Rydex U.S. Government Money Market Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund.
