Guggenheim Partners Investment Management, LLC (“Guggenheim Investments” or the “Investment Manager”), has contractually agreed through February 1, 2024 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit the ordinary operating expenses (including distribution (12b-1) fees (if any), but exclusive of brokerage costs, dividends on securities sold short, acquired fund fees and expenses, interest, taxes, litigation, indemnification, and extraordinary expenses) (“Operating Expenses”) of the Fund to the annual percentage of average daily net assets for each class of shares as follows: Class A-1.20%, Class C-1.95%, Institutional Class-0.95%, and Class P-1.20%. The Investment Manager is entitled to reimbursement by the Fund of fees waived or expenses reimbursed during any of the previous 36 months beginning on the date of the expense limitation agreement, provided that the Operating Expenses do not exceed the then-applicable expense cap. The agreement will expire when it reaches its termination or when the Investment Manager ceases to serve as such and it can be terminated by the Fund’s Board of Trustees, with certain waived fees and reimbursed expenses subject to the recoupment rights of the Investment Manager.

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, unless otherwise indicated. 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:

The above Example reflects applicable contractual fee waiver/expense reimbursement arrangements for the current duration of the arrangements only.
PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 79% of the average value of its portfolio.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Fund uses a passive management strategy designed to track the total return performance (before fees and expenses) of the Defensive Index. The Defensive Index consists of common stock of companies, and units of beneficial ownership in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), in the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Total Stock Market IndexSM that have been selected for inclusion in the Index by a systematic, rules-based process that uses Guggenheim Investments’ Required Business Performance® (RBP®) Probability scores (as defined below). S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC or an affiliate (as index calculation agent) is responsible for the daily calculation and operations of the Defensive Index. The RBP® Probability scores are derived from a quantitative process of Guggenheim Investments. The RBP® Probability scores are intended to measure the future business performance required of a company to support its stock price and to indicate the probability that the company will actually achieve that performance. The Defensive Index seeks to select stocks from the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Total Stock Market IndexSM to achieve a maximum weighted average RBP® Probability score while also achieving below average economic and market sensitivity relative to the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Total Stock Market IndexSM and certain characteristics similar to the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Total Stock Market IndexSM (such as market capitalization and valuation) within constraints designed to limit risk relative to the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Total Stock Market IndexSM (such as tracking error). As of December 31, 2022, the Defensive Index was composed of 57 securities. The number of securities comprising the Defensive Index is subject to change from time to time. A description of the Index’s methodology and performance is available directly from Guggenheim Investments (http://www.rbpinstitute.com).
The Fund will generally invest in all of the securities comprising the Index in proportion to the weightings in the Index. Under various circumstances where it may not be possible or practicable (that is, in instances when a security in the Index becomes temporarily illiquid, unavailable or less liquid, or due to legal restrictions (for instance tax or other diversification requirements that apply to the Fund but not the Index or the Investment Manager is restricted from purchasing securities of a particular company on behalf of the Fund)) to purchase all of the securities in the Index or amounts of such securities in proportion to their weighting in the Index, the Investment Manager will utilize a sampling methodology, or will invest a portion of the assets in total return swaps or similar derivatives to obtain the desired exposure. Sampling means that quantitative analysis is used to select securities that represent a sample of
2 | PROSPECTUS

the securities in the Index with a similar investment profile as the Index in terms of key risk factors, performance attributes and other characteristics. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes, in securities of large-capitalization companies that comprise the Index at the time of initial purchase. This investment policy may be changed by the Fund upon 60 days’ prior notice to shareholders. The Index is rebalanced quarterly. In addition, the Index is reviewed on an ongoing basis to account for corporate actions such as mergers or de-listings. The Investment Manager may sell securities that are represented in the Index, or purchase securities that are not yet represented in the Index, in anticipation of their removal from or addition to the Index. Large-capitalization companies are those that constitute the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Total Stock Market IndexSM. As of December 31, 2022, market capitalizations of companies included in the Defensive Index ranged from approximately $5.9 billion to $2.1 trillion.
The Fund also may invest up to 20% of its net assets in common stocks and REITs not included in the Index, but which the Investment Manager believes will help the Fund track the Index, as well as in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), futures, put and call options, interest rate, index and total return swap contracts, cash and cash equivalents. Such investments are intended to improve liquidity, reduce transaction costs and help the Fund stay fully invested, or obtain the desired exposure to securities comprising the Index, and are not intended to be used for hedging or speculative investment purposes. The Investment Manager does not invest Fund assets based on its opinion of a security, instrument or company.
The Fund will concentrate its investments (i.e., hold 25% or more of its total assets) in a particular industry or sector to approximately the same extent that the Index is so concentrated. The Board may change the Fund’s investment objective, investment strategy, Index and other policies without shareholder notice or approval, except as otherwise indicated.
Due to its investment strategies, the turnover rate of the Fund should generally be similar to the turnover rate of the Index. As a result, the Fund may buy and sell securities frequently. This may result in higher transaction costs and additional capital gains liabilities than for a fund with a buy and hold strategy. Higher transaction costs may negatively impact the Fund’s performance.
Under adverse, unstable or abnormal market conditions, the Fund could invest some or all of its assets in cash, fixed-income instruments, government bonds, money market instruments, repurchase agreements or securities of other investment companies. The Fund may be unable to pursue or achieve its investment objective during that time and temporary investments could reduce the benefit from any upswing in the market.
PRINCIPAL RISKS
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 investments 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. 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.
Concentration Risk—The Fund’s assets will only be concentrated in an industry or group of industries to the extent that the Index concentrates in a particular industry or group of industries. By concentrating its assets in a single industry or group of industries, the Fund would be subject to the risk that economic, political or other conditions that have a negative effect on that industry or group of industries will negatively impact the Fund to a greater extent than if the Fund’s assets were invested in a wider variety of industries. The amount of Fund assets in a particular industry may not match the industry’s representation in the Index during rebalancing or when or if the Fund is small.
Equity Securities Risk—Equity securities include common stocks and other equity and equity-related securities (and securities convertible into stocks). The prices of equity securities generally fluctuate in value more than fixed-income investments, may rise or fall rapidly or unpredictably and may reflect real or perceived changes in the issuing company’s financial condition and changes in the overall market or economy. A decline in the value of equity securities held by the Fund will adversely affect the value of your investment in the Fund. Common stocks generally represent the riskiest investment in a company and dividend payments (if declared) to preferred stockholders generally rank junior to payments due to a company’s debtholders. The Fund may lose a substantial part, or even all, of its investment in a company’s stock.
Index Risk—There is no assurance that the index methodology will successfully identify companies that exhibit low or high probability scores or the corresponding Index will outperform the performance of other indices based on different methodologies. Because the Fund seeks to track the performance of the Index, if the Fund’s return is
PROSPECTUS | 3

properly correlated to the return of the Index, the Fund will perform poorly when the Index performs poorly. The Index may be subject to errors and mistakes, including with respect to the quality, accuracy and completeness of the data or methods used to compile the Index, which may not be identified and corrected by Guggenheim Investments for a period of time or at all. Such errors may negatively impact the Fund.
Interest Rate Risk—Fixed-income and other debt instruments are subject to the possibility that interest rates could change. Changes in interest rates 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 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, 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. 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. During periods when interest rates are low or negative, the Fund’s yield and performance may be adversely affected. Changes in monetary policy may exacerbate the risks associated with changing interest rates.
Investment in Investment Vehicles Risk—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 net asset value of the shares and the listing exchange may halt trading of the shares.
Large-Capitalization Securities Risk—The Fund is subject to the risk that large-capitalization securities may underperform other segments of the equity market or the equity market as a whole. Larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges such as changes in technology and may not be able to attain the high growth rate of smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.
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 individual companies or issuers or particular industries. In addition, developments related to economic, political, social, public health, market or other conditions 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 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. The Fund’s investments may perform poorly or underperform the general securities markets or other types of securities.
Non-Correlation Risk—The Fund’s return may not match the return of the Index for a number of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs a number of operating expenses not applicable to the Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the Fund’s securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of the Index. Since the Index constituents may vary on a quarterly basis, the Fund’s costs associated with rebalancing may be greater than those incurred by other funds that track indices whose composition changes less frequently. In addition, the performance of the Fund and the Index may vary due to asset valuation differences and differences between the Fund’s portfolio and the Index resulting from legal restrictions, cash flows or operational inefficiencies.
Due to legal and regulatory rules and limitations, the Fund may not be able to invest in all securities included in the Index. For tax efficiency purposes, the Fund may sell certain securities to realize losses, causing it to deviate from the Index.
4 | PROSPECTUS

The Fund may not be fully invested at times, either as a result of cash flows into the Fund or reserves of cash held by the Fund to meet redemptions and pay expenses. If the Fund utilizes a sampling approach, or otherwise holds investments other than those which comprise the Index, its return may not correlate as well with the return of the Index, as would be the case if it purchased all of the securities in the Index with the same weightings as the Index.
Passive Management Risk—Unlike many investment companies, the Fund is not “actively” managed. Therefore, it would not necessarily sell a security because the security’s issuer was in financial trouble or because the security is otherwise unattractive for investment unless that security is removed from the Index. Although the Fund is not actively managed, the Fund can experience a higher than ordinary portfolio turnover rate as a result of the rebalancing of the Index. High portfolio turnover results in increased brokerage costs and other transactional charges, which are ultimately passed on to shareholders of the Fund, and may also result in adverse tax consequences.
Quantitative Investment Strategy Risk—The Fund seeks to track a quantitative strategy index, meaning that the Fund invests in securities comprising an index created by a proprietary quantitative model. The success of the Fund’s principal investment strategies depends on the effectiveness of the model in screening securities for inclusion in the Index. The factors used in the quantitative analysis and the weight placed on these factors may not be predictive of a security’s value and there is no guarantee that the quantitative model and the securities selected based on the model will produce the desired results. The Fund may be adversely affected by errors, imperfections, limitations and mistakes in the construction and implementation of the model, such as errors when calculating RBP® Probability scores. As a result, the Fund may have a lower return than if the Fund were managed using a fundamental investment strategy or an index based strategy that did not incorporate quantitative analysis.
REIT Risk—In addition to the risks pertaining to real estate investments more generally, REITs are subject to additional risks. The value of a REIT can depend on the structure of and cash flow generated by the REIT. REITs whose investments are concentrated in a limited number or type of properties, investments or narrow geographic area are subject to the risks affecting those properties or areas to a greater extent than a REIT with less concentrated investments. REITs are also subject to certain provisions under federal tax law. In addition, REITs may have expenses, including advisory and administration expenses, and the Fund and its shareholders will incur its pro rata share of the underlying expenses.
Swap Agreements and Derivatives 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 security). Swap agreements may be negotiated bilaterally and traded OTC between two parties or, for certain standardized swaps, must be exchange-traded through a futures commission merchant and/or cleared through a clearinghouse that serves as a central counterparty. Risks associated with the use of swap agreements are different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions, due in part to the fact they could be considered illiquid. Swaps are particularly subject to counterparty credit, correlation, valuation, liquidity and leveraging risks. Swaps are derivatives and derivatives may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other investments, including risks relating to leverage, imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, high price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty credit, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions. Their use is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. If the Investment Manager is incorrect about its expectations of market conditions, the use of derivatives could also result in a loss, which in some cases may be unlimited. In addition, the Fund’s use of derivatives may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of short-term capital gains (generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates) than if the Fund had not used such instruments.

PURCHASE AND SALE OF FUND SHARES
You may purchase or redeem Fund shares through your broker/dealer, other financial intermediary that has an agreement with Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC, the Fund’s distributor, or, for shares of each class other than Class P shares, through the Fund’s transfer agent. You may purchase, redeem or exchange shares of any class of the Fund on any day the New York Stock Exchange is open for business. The minimum initial investment for Class A and Class C shares is $2,500. The minimum subsequent investment is $100. Class A and Class C do not have a minimum account balance.
The Institutional Class minimum initial investment is $2 million, although the Investment Manager may waive this requirement at its discretion. The Institutional Class has a minimum account balance of $1 million. Due to the relatively high cost of maintaining accounts below the minimum account balance, the Fund reserves the right to redeem shares if an account balance falls below the minimum account balance for any reason. Investors will be given 60 days’ notice to reestablish the minimum account balance. If the account balance is not increased, the account may be closed and the proceeds sent to the investor. Institutional Class shares of the Fund will be redeemed at net asset value on the day the account is closed.
Class P shares of the Fund are offered through broker/dealers and other financial intermediaries with which Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC has an agreement for the use of Class P shares of the Fund in investment products, programs or accounts. Class P shares do not have a minimum initial investment amount, minimum subsequent investment amount or a minimum account balance. The Fund reserves the right to modify its minimum investment amount and account balance requirements at any time, with or without prior notice to you.
TAX INFORMATION
Fund distributions are taxable as ordinary income or capital gains (or a combination of both), unless your investment is through an IRA or other tax-advantaged retirement account. Investments through tax-advantaged accounts may sometimes become taxable upon withdrawal.
PAYMENTS TO BROKER/DEALERS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES
If you purchase Fund shares through a broker/dealer or other financial intermediary, the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker/dealer or other intermediary and your sales person to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your sales person or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 70% of the average value of its portfolio.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Fund uses a passive management strategy designed to track the total return performance (before fees and expenses) of the Dividend Index. The Dividend Index consists of common stock of companies, and units of beneficial ownership in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), in the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Total Stock Market IndexSM and the Dow Jones U.S. Mid-Cap Total Stock Market IndexSM that have been selected for inclusion in the Index by a systematic, rules-based process that uses Guggenheim Investments’ Required Business Performance® (RBP®) Probability scores (as defined below). S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC or an affiliate (as index calculation agent) is responsible for the daily calculation and operations of the Dividend Index. The RBP® Probability scores are derived from a quantitative process of Guggenheim Investments. The RBP® Probability scores are intended to measure the future business performance required of a company to support its stock price and to indicate the probability that the company will actually achieve that performance. The Dividend Index seeks to select dividend paying stocks from the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Total Stock Market IndexSM and the Dow Jones U.S. Mid-Cap Total Stock Market IndexSM to achieve a maximum weighted average RBP® Probability score and deliver dividend yield in excess of the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Total Stock Market IndexSM while also achieving certain characteristics similar to the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Total Stock Market IndexSM (such as market capitalization and valuation) within constraints designed to limit risk relative to the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Total Stock Market IndexSM (such as tracking error). As of December 31, 2022, the Dividend Index was composed of 94 securities. The number of securities comprising the Dividend Index is subject to change from time to time. A description of the Index’s methodology and performance is available directly from Guggenheim Investments (http://www.rbpinstitute.com).
The Fund will generally invest in all of the securities comprising the Index in proportion to the weightings in the Index. Under various circumstances where it may not be possible or practicable (that is, in instances when a security in the Index becomes temporarily illiquid, unavailable or less liquid, or due to legal restrictions (for instance tax or other diversification requirements that apply to the Fund but not the Index or the Investment Manager is restricted from purchasing securities of a particular company on behalf of the Fund)) to purchase all of the securities in the Index or amounts of such securities in proportion to their weighting in the Index, the Investment Manager will utilize a sampling methodology, or will invest a portion of the assets in total return swaps or similar derivatives to obtain the desired exposure. Sampling means that quantitative analysis is used to select securities that represent a sample of
PROSPECTUS | 9

the securities in the Index with a similar investment profile as the Index in terms of key risk factors, performance attributes and other characteristics. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes, in securities of dividend paying companies that comprise the Index at the time of initial purchase. This investment policy may be changed by the Fund upon 60 days’ prior notice to shareholders. The Index is rebalanced quarterly. In addition, the Index is reviewed on an ongoing basis to account for corporate actions such as mergers or de-listings. The Investment Manager may sell securities that are represented in the Index, or purchase securities that are not yet represented in the Index, in anticipation of their removal from or addition to the Index. As of December 31, 2022, market capitalizations of companies included in the Dividend Index ranged from approximately $3.6 billion to $2.1 trillion.
The Fund also may invest up to 20% of its net assets in common stocks and REITs not included in the Index, but which the Investment Manager believes will help the Fund track the Index, as well as in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), futures, put and call options, interest rate, index and total return swap contracts, cash and cash equivalents. Such investments are intended to improve liquidity, reduce transaction costs and help the Fund stay fully invested, or obtain the desired exposure to securities comprising the Index, and are not intended to be used for hedging or speculative investment purposes. The Investment Manager does not invest Fund assets based on its opinion of a security, instrument or company.
The Fund will concentrate its investments (i.e., hold 25% or more of its total assets) in a particular industry or sector to approximately the same extent that the Index is so concentrated. The Board may change the Fund’s investment objective, investment strategy, Index and other policies without shareholder notice or approval, except as otherwise indicated.
Due to its investment strategies, the turnover rate of the Fund should generally be similar to the turnover rate of the Index. As a result, the Fund may buy and sell securities frequently. This may result in higher transaction costs and additional capital gains liabilities than for a fund with a buy and hold strategy. Higher transaction costs may negatively impact the Fund’s performance.
Under adverse, unstable or abnormal market conditions, the Fund could invest some or all of its assets in cash, fixed-income instruments, government bonds, money market instruments, repurchase agreements or securities of other investment companies. The Fund may be unable to pursue or achieve its investment objective during that time and temporary investments could reduce the benefit from any upswing in the market.
PRINCIPAL RISKS
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 investments 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. 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.
Concentration Risk—The Fund’s assets will only be concentrated in an industry or group of industries to the extent that the Index concentrates in a particular industry or group of industries. By concentrating its assets in a single industry or group of industries, the Fund would be subject to the risk that economic, political or other conditions that have a negative effect on that industry or group of industries will negatively impact the Fund to a greater extent than if the Fund’s assets were invested in a wider variety of industries. The amount of Fund assets in a particular industry may not match the industry’s representation in the Index during rebalancing or when or if the Fund is small.
Equity Securities Risk—Equity securities include common stocks and other equity and equity-related securities (and securities convertible into stocks). The prices of equity securities generally fluctuate in value more than fixed-income investments, may rise or fall rapidly or unpredictably and may reflect real or perceived changes in the issuing company’s financial condition and changes in the overall market or economy. A decline in the value of equity securities held by the Fund will adversely affect the value of your investment in the Fund. Common stocks generally represent the riskiest investment in a company and dividend payments (if declared) to preferred stockholders generally rank junior to payments due to a company’s debtholders. The Fund may lose a substantial part, or even all, of its investment in a company’s stock.
Index Risk—There is no assurance that the index methodology will successfully identify companies that exhibit low or high probability scores or the corresponding Index will outperform the performance of other indices based on different methodologies. Because the Fund seeks to track the performance of the Index, if the Fund’s return is
10 | PROSPECTUS

properly correlated to the return of the Index, the Fund will perform poorly when the Index performs poorly. The Index may be subject to errors and mistakes, including with respect to the quality, accuracy and completeness of the data or methods used to compile the Index, which may not be identified and corrected by Guggenheim Investments for a period of time or at all. Such errors may negatively impact the Fund.
Interest Rate Risk—Fixed-income and other debt instruments are subject to the possibility that interest rates could change. Changes in interest rates 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 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, 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. 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. During periods when interest rates are low or negative, the Fund’s yield and performance may be adversely affected. Changes in monetary policy may exacerbate the risks associated with changing interest rates.
Investment in Investment Vehicles Risk—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 net asset value of the shares and the listing exchange may halt trading of the shares.
Large-Capitalization Securities Risk—The Fund is subject to the risk that large-capitalization securities may underperform other segments of the equity market or the equity market as a whole. Larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges such as changes in technology and may not be able to attain the high growth rate of smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.
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 individual companies or issuers or particular industries. In addition, developments related to economic, political, social, public health, market or other conditions 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 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. The Fund’s investments may perform poorly or underperform the general securities markets or other types of securities.
Mid-Capitalization Securities Risk—The Fund is subject to the risk that mid-capitalization securities may underperform other segments of the equity market or the equity market as a whole. Securities of mid-capitalization companies may be more speculative, volatile and less liquid than securities of large companies. Mid-capitalization companies tend to have inexperienced management as well as limited product and market diversification and financial resources, and may be more vulnerable to adverse developments than large capitalization companies.
Non-Correlation Risk—The Fund’s return may not match the return of the Index for a number of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs a number of operating expenses not applicable to the Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the Fund’s securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of the Index. Since the Index constituents may vary on a quarterly basis, the Fund’s costs associated with rebalancing may be greater than those incurred by other funds that track indices whose composition changes less frequently. In addition, the performance of the Fund and the Index may vary due to asset valuation differences and differences between the Fund’s portfolio and the Index resulting from legal restrictions, cash flows or operational inefficiencies.
PROSPECTUS | 11

Due to legal and regulatory rules and limitations, the Fund may not be able to invest in all securities included in the Index. For tax efficiency purposes, the Fund may sell certain securities to realize losses, causing it to deviate from the Index.
The Fund may not be fully invested at times, either as a result of cash flows into the Fund or reserves of cash held by the Fund to meet redemptions and pay expenses. If the Fund utilizes a sampling approach, or otherwise holds investments other than those which comprise the Index, its return may not correlate as well with the return of the Index, as would be the case if it purchased all of the securities in the Index with the same weightings as the Index.
Passive Management Risk—Unlike many investment companies, the Fund is not “actively” managed. Therefore, it would not necessarily sell a security because the security’s issuer was in financial trouble or because the security is otherwise unattractive for investment unless that security is removed from the Index. Although the Fund is not actively managed, the Fund can experience a higher than ordinary portfolio turnover rate as a result of the rebalancing of the Index. High portfolio turnover results in increased brokerage costs and other transactional charges, which are ultimately passed on to shareholders of the Fund, and may also result in adverse tax consequences.
Quantitative Investment Strategy Risk—The Fund seeks to track a quantitative strategy index, meaning that the Fund invests in securities comprising an index created by a proprietary quantitative model. The success of the Fund’s principal investment strategies depends on the effectiveness of the model in screening securities for inclusion in the Index. The factors used in the quantitative analysis and the weight placed on these factors may not be predictive of a security’s value and there is no guarantee that the quantitative model and the securities selected based on the model will produce the desired results. The Fund may be adversely affected by errors, imperfections, limitations and mistakes in the construction and implementation of the model, such as errors when calculating RBP® Probability scores. As a result, the Fund may have a lower return than if the Fund were managed using a fundamental investment strategy or an index based strategy that did not incorporate quantitative analysis.
REIT Risk—In addition to the risks pertaining to real estate investments more generally, REITs are subject to additional risks. The value of a REIT can depend on the structure of and cash flow generated by the REIT. REITs whose investments are concentrated in a limited number or type of properties, investments or narrow geographic area are subject to the risks affecting those properties or areas to a greater extent than a REIT with less concentrated investments. REITs are also subject to certain provisions under federal tax law. In addition, REITs may have expenses, including advisory and administration expenses, and the Fund and its shareholders will incur its pro rata share of the underlying expenses.
Swap Agreements and Derivatives 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 security). Swap agreements may be negotiated bilaterally and traded OTC between two parties or, for certain standardized swaps, must be exchange-traded through a futures commission merchant and/or cleared through a clearinghouse that serves as a central counterparty. Risks associated with the use of swap agreements are different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions, due in part to the fact they could be considered illiquid. Swaps are particularly subject to counterparty credit, correlation, valuation, liquidity and leveraging risks. Swaps are derivatives and derivatives may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other investments, including risks relating to leverage, imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, high price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty credit, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions. Their use is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. If the Investment Manager is incorrect about its expectations of market conditions, the use of derivatives could also result in a loss, which in some cases may be unlimited. In addition, the Fund’s use of derivatives may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of short-term capital gains (generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates) than if the Fund had not used such instruments.

PURCHASE AND SALE OF FUND SHARES
You may purchase or redeem Fund shares through your broker/dealer, other financial intermediary that has an agreement with Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC, the Fund’s distributor, or, for shares of each class other than Class P shares, through the Fund’s transfer agent. You may purchase, redeem or exchange shares of any class of the Fund on any day the New York Stock Exchange is open for business. The minimum initial investment for Class A and Class C shares is $2,500. The minimum subsequent investment is $100. Class A and Class C do not have a minimum account balance.
The Institutional Class minimum initial investment is $2 million, although the Investment Manager may waive this requirement at its discretion. The Institutional Class has a minimum account balance of $1 million. Due to the relatively high cost of maintaining accounts below the minimum account balance, the Fund reserves the right to redeem shares if an account balance falls below the minimum account balance for any reason. Investors will be given 60 days’ notice to reestablish the minimum account balance. If the account balance is not increased, the account may be closed and the proceeds sent to the investor. Institutional Class shares of the Fund will be redeemed at net asset value on the day the account is closed.
Class P shares of the Fund are offered through broker/dealers and other financial intermediaries with which Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC has an agreement for the use of Class P shares of the Fund in investment products, programs or accounts. Class P shares do not have a minimum initial investment amount, minimum subsequent investment amount or a minimum account balance. The Fund reserves the right to modify its minimum investment amount and account balance requirements at any time, with or without prior notice to you.
TAX INFORMATION
Fund distributions are taxable as ordinary income or capital gains (or a combination of both), unless your investment is through an IRA or other tax-advantaged retirement account. Investments through tax-advantaged accounts may sometimes become taxable upon withdrawal.
PAYMENTS TO BROKER/DEALERS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES
If you purchase Fund shares through a broker/dealer or other financial intermediary, the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker/dealer or other intermediary and your sales person to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your sales person or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.

Guggenheim Partners Investment Management, LLC (“Guggenheim Investments” or the “Investment Manager”), has contractually agreed through February 1, 2024 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit the ordinary operating expenses (including distribution (12b-1) fees (if any), but exclusive of brokerage costs, dividends on securities sold short, acquired fund fees and expenses, interest, taxes, litigation, indemnification, and extraordinary expenses) (“Operating Expenses”) of the Fund to the annual percentage of average daily net assets for each class of shares as follows: Class A-1.20%, Class C-1.95%, Institutional Class-0.95%, and Class P-1.20%. The Investment Manager is entitled to reimbursement by the Fund of fees waived or expenses reimbursed during any of the previous 36 months beginning on the date of the expense limitation agreement, provided that the Operating Expenses do not exceed the then-applicable expense cap. The agreement will expire when it reaches its termination or when the Investment Manager ceases to serve as such and it can be terminated by the Fund’s Board of Trustees, with certain waived fees and reimbursed expenses subject to the recoupment rights of the Investment Manager.

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 67% of the average value of its portfolio.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Fund uses a passive management strategy designed to track the total return performance (before fees and expenses) of the Market Index. The Market Index consists of common stock of companies, and units of beneficial ownership in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), in the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Total Stock Market IndexSM that have been selected for inclusion in the Index by a systematic, rules-based process that uses Guggenheim Investments’ Required Business Performance® (RBP®) Probability scores (as defined below). S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC or an affiliate (as index calculation agent) is responsible for the daily calculation and operations of the Market Index. The RBP® Probability scores are derived from a quantitative process of Guggenheim Investments. The RBP® Probability scores are intended to measure the future business performance required of a company to support its stock price and to indicate the probability that the company will actually achieve that performance. The Market Index seeks to select stocks from the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Total Stock Market IndexSM to achieve a maximum weighted average RBP® Probability score while also achieving average economic and market sensitivity relative to the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Total Stock Market IndexSM and certain characteristics similar to the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Total Stock Market IndexSM (such as market capitalization and valuation) within constraints designed to limit risk relative to the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Total Stock Market IndexSM (such as tracking error). As of December 31, 2022, the Market Index was composed of 89 securities. The number of securities comprising the Market Index is subject to change from time to time. A description of the Index’s methodology and performance is available directly from Guggenheim Investments (http://www.rbpinstitute.com).
The Fund will generally invest in all of the securities comprising the Index in proportion to the weightings in the Index. Under various circumstances where it may not be possible or practicable (that is, in instances when a security in the Index becomes temporarily illiquid, unavailable or less liquid, or due to legal restrictions (for instance tax or other diversification requirements that apply to the Fund but not the Index or the Investment Manager is restricted from purchasing securities of a particular company on behalf of the Fund)) to purchase all of the securities in the Index or amounts of such securities in proportion to their weighting in the Index, the Investment Manager will utilize a sampling methodology, or will invest a portion of the assets in total return swaps or similar derivatives to obtain the desired exposure. Sampling means that quantitative analysis is used to select securities that represent a sample of the securities in the Index with a similar investment profile as the Index in terms of key risk factors, performance
16 | PROSPECTUS

attributes and other characteristics. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes, in securities of large-capitalization companies that comprise the Index at the time of initial purchase. This investment policy may be changed by the Fund upon 60 days’ prior notice to shareholders. The Index is rebalanced quarterly. In addition, the Index is reviewed on an ongoing basis to account for corporate actions such as mergers or de-listings. The Investment Manager may sell securities that are represented in the Index, or purchase securities that are not yet represented in the Index, in anticipation of their removal from or addition to the Index. Large-capitalization companies are those that constitute the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Total Stock Market IndexSM. As of December 31, 2022, market capitalizations of companies included in the Market Index ranged from approximately $7.3 billion to $2.1 trillion.
The Fund also may invest up to 20% of its net assets in common stocks and REITs not included in the Index, but which the Investment Manager believes will help the Fund track the Index, as well as in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), futures, put and call options, interest rate, index and total return swap contracts, cash and cash equivalents. Such investments are intended to improve liquidity, reduce transaction costs and help the Fund stay fully invested, or obtain the desired exposure to securities comprising the Index, and are not intended to be used for hedging or speculative investment purposes. The Investment Manager does not invest Fund assets based on its opinion of a security, instrument or company.
The Fund will concentrate its investments (i.e., hold 25% or more of its total assets) in a particular industry or sector to approximately the same extent that the Index is so concentrated. The Board may change the Fund’s investment objective, investment strategy, Index and other policies without shareholder notice or approval, except as otherwise indicated.
Due to its investment strategies, the turnover rate of the Fund should generally be similar to the turnover rate of the Index. As a result, the Fund may buy and sell securities frequently. This may result in higher transaction costs and additional capital gains liabilities than for a fund with a buy and hold strategy. Higher transaction costs may negatively impact the Fund’s performance.
Under adverse, unstable or abnormal market conditions, the Fund could invest some or all of its assets in cash, fixed-income instruments, government bonds, money market instruments, repurchase agreements or securities of other investment companies. The Fund may be unable to pursue or achieve its investment objective during that time and temporary investments could reduce the benefit from any upswing in the market.
PRINCIPAL RISKS
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 investments 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. 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.
Concentration Risk—The Fund’s assets will only be concentrated in an industry or group of industries to the extent that the Index concentrates in a particular industry or group of industries. By concentrating its assets in a single industry or group of industries, the Fund would be subject to the risk that economic, political or other conditions that have a negative effect on that industry or group of industries will negatively impact the Fund to a greater extent than if the Fund’s assets were invested in a wider variety of industries. The amount of Fund assets in a particular industry may not match the industry’s representation in the Index during rebalancing or when or if the Fund is small.
Equity Securities Risk—Equity securities include common stocks and other equity and equity-related securities (and securities convertible into stocks). The prices of equity securities generally fluctuate in value more than fixed-income investments, may rise or fall rapidly or unpredictably and may reflect real or perceived changes in the issuing company’s financial condition and changes in the overall market or economy. A decline in the value of equity securities held by the Fund will adversely affect the value of your investment in the Fund. Common stocks generally represent the riskiest investment in a company and dividend payments (if declared) to preferred stockholders generally rank junior to payments due to a company’s debtholders. The Fund may lose a substantial part, or even all, of its investment in a company’s stock.
Index Risk—There is no assurance that the index methodology will successfully identify companies that exhibit low or high probability scores or the corresponding Index will outperform the performance of other indices based on different methodologies. Because the Fund seeks to track the performance of the Index, if the Fund’s return is
PROSPECTUS | 17

properly correlated to the return of the Index, the Fund will perform poorly when the Index performs poorly. The Index may be subject to errors and mistakes, including with respect to the quality, accuracy and completeness of the data or methods used to compile the Index, which may not be identified and corrected by Guggenheim Investments for a period of time or at all. Such errors may negatively impact the Fund.
Interest Rate Risk—Fixed-income and other debt instruments are subject to the possibility that interest rates could change. Changes in interest rates 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 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, 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. 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. During periods when interest rates are low or negative, the Fund’s yield and performance may be adversely affected. Changes in monetary policy may exacerbate the risks associated with changing interest rates.
Investment in Investment Vehicles Risk—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 net asset value of the shares and the listing exchange may halt trading of the shares.
Large-Capitalization Securities Risk—The Fund is subject to the risk that large-capitalization securities may underperform other segments of the equity market or the equity market as a whole. Larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges such as changes in technology and may not be able to attain the high growth rate of smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.
Liquidity and Valuation Risk—It may be difficult for the Fund to purchase and sell particular investments within a reasonable time at a fair price, or the price at which it has been valued by the Investment Manager for purposes of the Fund’s net asset value, including in response to rebalancings or reconstitutions of the Index, causing the Fund to be less liquid and unable to realize what the Investment Manager believes should be the price of the investment. Valuation of portfolio investments may be difficult, such as during periods of market turmoil or reduced liquidity, and for investments that may, for example, trade infrequently or irregularly. In these and other circumstances, an investment may be valued using fair value methodologies, which are inherently subjective, reflect good faith judgments based on available information and may not accurately estimate the price at which the Fund could sell the investment at that time.
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 individual companies or issuers or particular industries. In addition, developments related to economic, political, social, public health, market or other conditions 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 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. The Fund’s investments may perform poorly or underperform the general securities markets or other types of securities.
Non-Correlation Risk—The Fund’s return may not match the return of the Index for a number of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs a number of operating expenses not applicable to the Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the Fund’s securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of the Index. Since the Index constituents may vary on a quarterly basis, the Fund’s costs associated
18 | PROSPECTUS

with rebalancing may be greater than those incurred by other funds that track indices whose composition changes less frequently. In addition, the performance of the Fund and the Index may vary due to asset valuation differences and differences between the Fund’s portfolio and the Index resulting from legal restrictions, cash flows or operational inefficiencies.
Due to legal and regulatory rules and limitations, the Fund may not be able to invest in all securities included in the Index. For tax efficiency purposes, the Fund may sell certain securities to realize losses, causing it to deviate from the Index.
The Fund may not be fully invested at times, either as a result of cash flows into the Fund or reserves of cash held by the Fund to meet redemptions and pay expenses. If the Fund utilizes a sampling approach, or otherwise holds investments other than those which comprise the Index, its return may not correlate as well with the return of the Index, as would be the case if it purchased all of the securities in the Index with the same weightings as the Index.
Passive Management Risk—Unlike many investment companies, the Fund is not “actively” managed. Therefore, it would not necessarily sell a security because the security’s issuer was in financial trouble or because the security is otherwise unattractive for investment unless that security is removed from the Index. Although the Fund is not actively managed, the Fund can experience a higher than ordinary portfolio turnover rate as a result of the rebalancing of the Index. High portfolio turnover results in increased brokerage costs and other transactional charges, which are ultimately passed on to shareholders of the Fund, and may also result in adverse tax consequences.
Quantitative Investment Strategy Risk—The Fund seeks to track a quantitative strategy index, meaning that the Fund invests in securities comprising an index created by a proprietary quantitative model. The success of the Fund’s principal investment strategies depends on the effectiveness of the model in screening securities for inclusion in the Index. The factors used in the quantitative analysis and the weight placed on these factors may not be predictive of a security’s value and there is no guarantee that the quantitative model and the securities selected based on the model will produce the desired results. The Fund may be adversely affected by errors, imperfections, limitations and mistakes in the construction and implementation of the model, such as errors when calculating RBP® Probability scores. As a result, the Fund may have a lower return than if the Fund were managed using a fundamental investment strategy or an index based strategy that did not incorporate quantitative analysis.
REIT Risk—In addition to the risks pertaining to real estate investments more generally, REITs are subject to additional risks. The value of a REIT can depend on the structure of and cash flow generated by the REIT. REITs whose investments are concentrated in a limited number or type of properties, investments or narrow geographic area are subject to the risks affecting those properties or areas to a greater extent than a REIT with less concentrated investments. REITs are also subject to certain provisions under federal tax law. In addition, REITs may have expenses, including advisory and administration expenses, and the Fund and its shareholders will incur its pro rata share of the underlying expenses.
Swap Agreements and Derivatives 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 security). Swap agreements may be negotiated bilaterally and traded OTC between two parties or, for certain standardized swaps, must be exchange-traded through a futures commission merchant and/or cleared through a clearinghouse that serves as a central counterparty. Risks associated with the use of swap agreements are different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions, due in part to the fact they could be considered illiquid. Swaps are particularly subject to counterparty credit, correlation, valuation, liquidity and leveraging risks. Swaps are derivatives and derivatives may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other investments, including risks relating to leverage, imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, high price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty credit, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions. Their use is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. If the Investment Manager is incorrect about its expectations of market conditions, the use of derivatives could also result in a loss, which in some cases may be unlimited. In addition, the Fund’s use of derivatives may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of short-term capital gains (generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates) than if the Fund had not used such instruments.

Guggenheim Partners Investment Management, LLC (“Guggenheim Investments” or the “Investment Manager”), has contractually agreed through February 1, 2024 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit the ordinary operating expenses (including distribution (12b-1) fees (if any), but exclusive of brokerage costs, dividends on securities sold short, acquired fund fees and expenses, interest, taxes, litigation, indemnification, and extraordinary expenses) (“Operating Expenses”) of the Fund to the annual percentage of average daily net assets for each class of shares as follows: Class A-1.20%, Class C-1.95%, Institutional Class-0.95%, and Class P-1.20%. The Investment Manager is entitled to reimbursement by the Fund of fees waived or expenses reimbursed during any of the previous 36 months beginning on the date of the expense limitation agreement, provided that the Operating Expenses do not exceed the then-applicable expense cap. The agreement will expire when it reaches its termination or when the Investment Manager ceases to serve as such and it can be terminated by the Fund’s Board of Trustees, with certain waived fees and reimbursed expenses subject to the recoupment rights of the Investment Manager.

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 73% of the average value of its portfolio.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Fund uses a passive management strategy designed to track the total return performance (before fees and expenses) of the Value Index. The Value Index consists of common stock of companies, and units of beneficial ownership in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), in the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Value Total Stock Market IndexSM that have been selected for inclusion in the Index by a systematic, rules-based process that uses Guggenheim Investments’ Required Business Performance® (RBP®) Probability scores (as defined below). S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC or an affiliate (as index calculation agent) is responsible for the daily calculation and operations of the Value Index. The RBP® Probability scores are derived from a quantitative process of Guggenheim Investments. The RBP® Probability scores are intended to measure the future business performance required of a company to support its stock price and to indicate the probability that the company will actually achieve that performance. The Value Index seeks to select stocks from the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Value Total Stock Market IndexSM to achieve a maximum weighted average RBP® Probability score while also achieving certain characteristics similar the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Value Total Stock Market IndexSM (such as market capitalization and valuation) within constraints designed to limit risk relative to the Dow Jones U.S. Large- Cap Value Total Stock Market IndexSM (such as tracking error). As of December 31, 2022, the Value Index was composed of 96 securities. The number of securities comprising the Value Index is subject to change from time to time. A description of the Index’s methodology and performance is available directly from Guggenheim Investments (http://www.rbpinstitute.com).
The Fund will generally invest in all of the securities comprising the Index in proportion to the weightings in the Index. Under various circumstances where it may not be possible or practicable (that is, in instances when a security in the Index becomes temporarily illiquid, unavailable or less liquid, or due to legal restrictions (for instance tax or other diversification requirements that apply to the Fund but not the Index or the Investment Manager is restricted from purchasing securities of a particular company on behalf of the Fund)) to purchase all of the securities in the Index or amounts of such securities in proportion to their weighting in the Index, the Investment Manager will utilize a sampling methodology, or will invest a portion of the assets in total return swaps or similar derivatives to obtain the desired exposure. Sampling means that quantitative analysis is used to select securities that represent a sample of the securities in the Index with a similar investment profile as the Index in terms of key risk factors, performance attributes and other characteristics. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets,
24 | PROSPECTUS

plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes, in securities of large-capitalization companies that comprise the Index at the time of initial purchase. This investment policy may be changed by the Fund upon 60 days’ prior notice to shareholders. The Index is rebalanced quarterly. In addition, the Index is reviewed on an ongoing basis to account for corporate actions such as mergers or de-listings. The Investment Manager may sell securities that are represented in the Index, or purchase securities that are not yet represented in the Index, in anticipation of their removal from or addition to the Index. Large-capitalization companies are those that constitute the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Value Total Stock Market IndexSM. As of December 31, 2022, market capitalizations of companies included in the Value Index ranged from approximately $7.3 billion to $678.7 billion.
The Fund also may invest up to 20% of its net assets in common stocks and REITs not included in the Index, but which the Investment Manager believes will help the Fund track the Index, as well as in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), futures, put and call options, interest rate, index and total return swap contracts, cash and cash equivalents. Such investments are intended to improve liquidity, reduce transaction costs and help the Fund stay fully invested, or obtain the desired exposure to securities comprising the Index, and are not intended to be used for hedging or speculative investment purposes. The Investment Manager does not invest Fund assets based on its opinion of a security, instrument or company.
The Fund will concentrate its investments (i.e., hold 25% or more of its total assets) in a particular industry or sector to approximately the same extent that the Index is so concentrated. The Board may change the Fund’s investment objective, investment strategy, Index and other policies without shareholder notice or approval, except as otherwise indicated.
Due to its investment strategies, the turnover rate of the Fund should generally be similar to the turnover rate of the Index. As a result, the Fund may buy and sell securities frequently. This may result in higher transaction costs and additional capital gains liabilities than for a fund with a buy and hold strategy. Higher transaction costs may negatively impact the Fund’s performance.
Under adverse, unstable or abnormal market conditions, the Fund could invest some or all of its assets in cash, fixed-income instruments, government bonds, money market instruments, repurchase agreements or securities of other investment companies. The Fund may be unable to pursue or achieve its investment objective during that time and temporary investments could reduce the benefit from any upswing in the market.
PRINCIPAL RISKS
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 investments 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. 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.
Concentration Risk—The Fund’s assets will only be concentrated in an industry or group of industries to the extent that the Index concentrates in a particular industry or group of industries. By concentrating its assets in a single industry or group of industries, the Fund would be subject to the risk that economic, political or other conditions that have a negative effect on that industry or group of industries will negatively impact the Fund to a greater extent than if the Fund’s assets were invested in a wider variety of industries. The amount of Fund assets in a particular industry may not match the industry’s representation in the Index during rebalancing or when or if the Fund is small.
Equity Securities Risk—Equity securities include common stocks and other equity and equity-related securities (and securities convertible into stocks). The prices of equity securities generally fluctuate in value more than fixed-income investments, may rise or fall rapidly or unpredictably and may reflect real or perceived changes in the issuing company’s financial condition and changes in the overall market or economy. A decline in the value of equity securities held by the Fund will adversely affect the value of your investment in the Fund. Common stocks generally represent the riskiest investment in a company and dividend payments (if declared) to preferred stockholders generally rank junior to payments due to a company’s debtholders. The Fund may lose a substantial part, or even all, of its investment in a company’s stock.
Index Risk—There is no assurance that the index methodology will successfully identify companies that exhibit low or high probability scores or the corresponding Index will outperform the performance of other indices based on different methodologies. Because the Fund seeks to track the performance of the Index, if the Fund’s return is properly correlated to the return of the Index, the Fund will perform poorly when the Index performs poorly. The Index
PROSPECTUS | 25

may be subject to errors and mistakes, including with respect to the quality, accuracy and completeness of the data or methods used to compile the Index, which may not be identified and corrected by Guggenheim Investments for a period of time or at all. Such errors may negatively impact the Fund.
Interest Rate Risk—Fixed-income and other debt instruments are subject to the possibility that interest rates could change. Changes in interest rates 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 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, 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. 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. During periods when interest rates are low or negative, the Fund’s yield and performance may be adversely affected. Changes in monetary policy may exacerbate the risks associated with changing interest rates.
Investment in Investment Vehicles Risk—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 net asset value of the shares and the listing exchange may halt trading of the shares.
Large-Capitalization Securities Risk—The Fund is subject to the risk that large-capitalization securities may underperform other segments of the equity market or the equity market as a whole. Larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges such as changes in technology and may not be able to attain the high growth rate of smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.
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 individual companies or issuers or particular industries. In addition, developments related to economic, political, social, public health, market or other conditions 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 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. The Fund’s investments may perform poorly or underperform the general securities markets or other types of securities.
Non-Correlation Risk—The Fund’s return may not match the return of the Index for a number of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs a number of operating expenses not applicable to the Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the Fund’s securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of the Index. Since the Index constituents may vary on a quarterly basis, the Fund’s costs associated with rebalancing may be greater than those incurred by other funds that track indices whose composition changes less frequently. In addition, the performance of the Fund and the Index may vary due to asset valuation differences and differences between the Fund’s portfolio and the Index resulting from legal restrictions, cash flows or operational inefficiencies.
Due to legal and regulatory rules and limitations, the Fund may not be able to invest in all securities included in the Index. For tax efficiency purposes, the Fund may sell certain securities to realize losses, causing it to deviate from the Index.
The Fund may not be fully invested at times, either as a result of cash flows into the Fund or reserves of cash held by the Fund to meet redemptions and pay expenses. If the Fund utilizes a sampling approach, or otherwise holds investments other than those which comprise the Index, its return may not correlate as well with the return of the Index, as would be the case if it purchased all of the securities in the Index with the same weightings as the Index.
26 | PROSPECTUS

Passive Management Risk—Unlike many investment companies, the Fund is not “actively” managed. Therefore, it would not necessarily sell a security because the security’s issuer was in financial trouble or because the security is otherwise unattractive for investment unless that security is removed from the Index. Although the Fund is not actively managed, the Fund can experience a higher than ordinary portfolio turnover rate as a result of the rebalancing of the Index. High portfolio turnover results in increased brokerage costs and other transactional charges, which are ultimately passed on to shareholders of the Fund, and may also result in adverse tax consequences.
Quantitative Investment Strategy Risk—The Fund seeks to track a quantitative strategy index, meaning that the Fund invests in securities comprising an index created by a proprietary quantitative model. The success of the Fund’s principal investment strategies depends on the effectiveness of the model in screening securities for inclusion in the Index. The factors used in the quantitative analysis and the weight placed on these factors may not be predictive of a security’s value and there is no guarantee that the quantitative model and the securities selected based on the model will produce the desired results. The Fund may be adversely affected by errors, imperfections, limitations and mistakes in the construction and implementation of the model, such as errors when calculating RBP® Probability scores. As a result, the Fund may have a lower return than if the Fund were managed using a fundamental investment strategy or an index based strategy that did not incorporate quantitative analysis.
REIT Risk—In addition to the risks pertaining to real estate investments more generally, REITs are subject to additional risks. The value of a REIT can depend on the structure of and cash flow generated by the REIT. REITs whose investments are concentrated in a limited number or type of properties, investments or narrow geographic area are subject to the risks affecting those properties or areas to a greater extent than a REIT with less concentrated investments. REITs are also subject to certain provisions under federal tax law. In addition, REITs may have expenses, including advisory and administration expenses, and the Fund and its shareholders will incur its pro rata share of the underlying expenses.
Swap Agreements and Derivatives 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 security). Swap agreements may be negotiated bilaterally and traded OTC between two parties or, for certain standardized swaps, must be exchange-traded through a futures commission merchant and/or cleared through a clearinghouse that serves as a central counterparty. Risks associated with the use of swap agreements are different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions, due in part to the fact they could be considered illiquid. Swaps are particularly subject to counterparty credit, correlation, valuation, liquidity and leveraging risks. Swaps are derivatives and derivatives may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other investments, including risks relating to leverage, imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, high price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty credit, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions. Their use is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. If the Investment Manager is incorrect about its expectations of market conditions, the use of derivatives could also result in a loss, which in some cases may be unlimited. In addition, the Fund’s use of derivatives may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of short-term capital gains (generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates) than if the Fund had not used such instruments.
Value Stocks Risk—Value stocks are subject to the risk that the intrinsic value of the stock may never be realized by the market or that the price goes down.

PURCHASE AND SALE OF FUND SHARES
You may purchase or redeem Fund shares through your broker/dealer, other financial intermediary that has an agreement with Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC, the Fund’s distributor, or, for shares of each class other than Class P shares, through the Fund’s transfer agent. You may purchase, redeem or exchange shares of any class of the Fund on any day the New York Stock Exchange is open for business. The minimum initial investment for Class A and Class C shares is $2,500. The minimum subsequent investment is $100. Class A and Class C do not have a minimum account balance.
The Institutional Class minimum initial investment is $2 million, although the Investment Manager may waive this requirement at its discretion. The Institutional Class has a minimum account balance of $1 million. Due to the relatively high cost of maintaining accounts below the minimum account balance, the Fund reserves the right to redeem shares if an account balance falls below the minimum account balance for any reason. Investors will be given 60 days’ notice to reestablish the minimum account balance. If the account balance is not increased, the account may be closed and the proceeds sent to the investor. Institutional Class shares of the Fund will be redeemed at net asset value on the day the account is closed.
Class P shares of the Fund are offered through broker/dealers and other financial intermediaries with which Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC has an agreement for the use of Class P shares of the Fund in investment products, programs or accounts. Class P shares do not have a minimum initial investment amount, minimum subsequent investment amount or a minimum account balance. The Fund reserves the right to modify its minimum investment amount and account balance requirements at any time, with or without prior notice to you.
TAX INFORMATION
Fund distributions are taxable as ordinary income or capital gains (or a combination of both), unless your investment is through an IRA or other tax-advantaged retirement account. Investments through tax-advantaged accounts may sometimes become taxable upon withdrawal.
PAYMENTS TO BROKER/DEALERS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES
If you purchase Fund shares through a broker/dealer or other financial intermediary, the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker/dealer or other intermediary and your sales person to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your sales person or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.

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, unless otherwise indicated. 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 annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 149% of the average value of its portfolio.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Fund uses a passive investment strategy designed to track the total return performance (before fees and expenses) of the Directional Allocation Index. The Index’s objective is to provide consistent long-term, risk adjusted outperformance of the broad U.S. equity markets with the goal of capturing more upside in rising equity markets and limiting the downside - including up to 100% cash allocation - during market downturns. The Directional Allocation Index consists of common stock of companies, and units of beneficial ownership in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), in the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Total Stock Market IndexSM that have been selected for inclusion in the Index by a systematic, rules-based process that uses Guggenheim Investments’ Required Business Performance® (RBP®) Probability scores (as defined below) and other rules based signals as defined by the Index methodology. S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC or an affiliate (as index calculation agent) is responsible for the daily calculation and operations of the Directional Allocation Index. The RBP® Probability scores are derived from a quantitative process of Guggenheim Investments. The RBP® Probability scores are intended to measure the future business performance required of a company to support its stock price and to indicate the probability that the company will actually achieve that performance. Using a rules-based methodology, the Index is designed to participate in rising markets while attempting to preserve capital during market declines. The Index aims to allocate its holdings among the stocks in the three Guggenheim Directional Series Indexes (the “Directional Series Indexes”) - the Guggenheim RBP® Large-Cap Market IndexSM (with average economic and market sensitivity), the Guggenheim RBP® Large-Cap Aggressive IndexSM (with above average economic and market sensitivity) and the Guggenheim RBP® Large-Cap Defensive IndexSM (with below average economic and market sensitivity) - and cash. The allocations are based on a moving average crossover system of analysis. The moving average crossover system used in the Index’s methodology uses three primary signals: economic condition, consumer sentiment and market momentum. The components of each of the Directional Series Indexes are derived from the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Total Stock Market IndexSM. The number of securities comprising the Directional Allocation Index is subject to change from time to time. A description of the Index’s methodology and performance is available directly from Guggenheim Investments (http://www.rbpinstitute.com).

The Fund will invest in securities representing the holdings of the Directional Allocation Index, and cash or cash equivalents to the extent the Index is allocated to cash. The Fund may be invested in any combination of securities and cash or cash equivalents, as defined by the Index methodology weights. In accordance with the Index methodology, the Index may be 100% allocated to cash. In such circumstances, the Fund will also hold 100% of its assets in cash or cash equivalents, and was so allocated as of December 31, 2022. The cash equivalents consist of shares of money market mutual funds and short-term funds, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, bankers’ acceptances, U.S. Government securities and repurchase agreements. To the extent that the Fund invests in money market mutual funds or short-term funds for cash positions, there will be some duplication of expenses because the Fund pays its pro-rata portion of such funds' advisory fees and operational fees. In response to recent market and economic conditions, the Fund has, in recent periods, moved to 100% allocation to cash and cash equivalents and will continue to do so if market conditions warrant.
The Fund will generally invest in all of the securities comprising the Index in proportion to the weightings in the Index. Under various circumstances where it may not be possible or practicable (that is, in instances when a security in the Index becomes temporarily illiquid, unavailable or less liquid, or due to legal restrictions (for instance tax or other diversification requirements that apply to the Fund but not the Index or the Investment Manager is restricted from purchasing securities of a particular company on behalf of the Fund)) to purchase all of the securities in the Index or amounts of such securities in proportion to their weighting in the Index, the Investment Manager will utilize a sampling methodology, or invest a portion of the assets in total return swaps or similar derivative to obtain the desired exposure. Sampling means that quantitative analysis is used to select securities that represent a sample of the securities in the Index with a similar investment profile as the Index in terms of key risk factors, performance attributes and other characteristics. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes, in securities and/or cash or cash equivalents consistent with the weighting of the Index at the time of initial purchase. This investment policy is non-fundamental and was not adopted pursuant to Rule 35d-1 and, therefore, may be changed by the Board without prior notice to shareholders. The Index is rebalanced at least quarterly or more frequently when economic conditions signal changes. In addition, the Index is reviewed on an ongoing basis to account for corporate actions such as mergers or de-listings. The Investment Manager may sell securities that are represented in the Index, or purchase securities that are not yet represented in the Index, in anticipation of their removal from or addition to the Index.
The Fund also may invest up to 20% of its net assets in common stocks and REITs not included in the Index, but which the Investment Manager believes will help the Fund track the Index, as well as in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), futures, put and call options, interest rate, index and total return swap contracts, cash and cash equivalents. Such investments are intended to improve liquidity, reduce transaction costs and help the Fund stay fully invested, or obtain the desired exposure to securities comprising the Index, and are not intended to be used for hedging or speculative investment purposes. The Investment Manager does not invest Fund assets based on its opinion of a security, instrument or company.
The short-term funds in which the Fund will invest include short-term investment companies advised by the Investment Manager or an affiliate of the Investment Manager, or short-term ETFs, that invest in short-term fixed-income or floating rate securities. Investments by the Fund in these investment companies significantly increase the Fund’s exposure to the following asset categories: (i) a broad range of high yield, high risk debt securities rated below the top four long-term rating categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (also known as “junk bonds”) or, if unrated, determined by the Investment Manager, to be of comparable quality; (ii) collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), other asset-backed securities and similarly structured debt investments; and (iii) other short-term fixed or floating rate debt securities. Such investments expose the Fund to the risks of these asset categories—and decreases in the value of these investments may cause the Fund to deviate from its investment objective.
The Fund will concentrate its investments (i.e., hold 25% or more of its total assets) in a particular industry or sector to approximately the same extent that the Index is so concentrated. The Board may change the Fund’s investment objective, investment strategy, Index and other policies without shareholder notice or approval, except as otherwise indicated.
Due to its investment strategies, the turnover rate of the Fund should generally be similar to the turnover rate of the Index. As a result, the Fund may buy and sell securities frequently. This may result in higher transaction costs and additional capital gains liabilities than for a fund with a buy and hold strategy. Higher transaction costs may negatively impact the Fund’s performance.
PROSPECTUS | 33

Under adverse, unstable or abnormal market conditions, the Fund could invest some or all of its assets in cash, fixed-income instruments, government bonds, money market instruments, repurchase agreements or securities of other investment companies. The Fund may be unable to pursue or achieve its investment objective during that time and temporary investments could reduce the benefit from any upswing in the market.
PRINCIPAL RISKS
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 investments 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. 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.
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 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.
Concentration Risk—The Fund’s assets will only be concentrated in an industry or group of industries to the extent that the Index concentrates in a particular industry or group of industries. By concentrating its assets in a single industry or group of industries, the Fund would be subject to the risk that economic, political or other conditions that have a negative effect on that industry or group of industries will negatively impact the Fund to a greater extent than if the Fund’s assets were invested in a wider variety of industries. The amount of Fund assets in a particular industry may not match the industry’s representation in the Index during rebalancing or when or if the Fund is small.
Credit Risk—The Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed-income or other debt instrument or a counterparty to a derivatives transaction or other transaction is unable or unwilling, or perceived to be unable or unwilling, to pay interest or repay principal on time, defaults or otherwise fails to meet its obligations. Actual or perceived changes in economic, social, public health, financial or political conditions in general or that affect a particular type of instrument, issuer, guarantor or counterparty can reduce the ability of the party to meet its obligations, which can affect the credit quality, liquidity and/or value of an instrument. The value of an instrument also may decline for reasons that relate directly to the issuer, guarantor or counterparty, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for goods and services. The issuer, guarantor or counterparty could also suffer a rapid decline in credit rating, which would adversely affect the volatility of the value and liquidity of the instrument. Credit ratings may not be an accurate assessment of liquidity or credit risk.
Equity Securities Risk—Equity securities include common stocks and other equity and equity-related securities (and securities convertible into stocks). The prices of equity securities generally fluctuate in value more than fixed-income investments, may rise or fall rapidly or unpredictably and may reflect real or perceived changes in the issuing company’s financial condition and changes in the overall market or economy. A decline in the value of equity securities held by the Fund will adversely affect the value of your investment in the Fund. Common stocks generally represent the riskiest investment in a company and dividend payments (if declared) to preferred stockholders generally rank junior to payments due to a company’s debtholders. The Fund may lose a substantial part, or even all, of its investment in a company’s stock.
Index Risk—There is no assurance that the index methodology will successfully identify companies that exhibit low or high probability scores or the corresponding Index will outperform the performance of other indices based on different methodologies. Because the Fund seeks to track the performance of the Index, if the Fund’s return is properly correlated to the return of the Index, the Fund will perform poorly when the Index performs poorly. The Index may be subject to errors and mistakes, including with respect to the quality, accuracy and completeness of the data or methods used to compile the Index, which may not be identified and corrected by Guggenheim Investments for a period of time or at all. Such errors may negatively impact the Fund.
Interest Rate Risk—Fixed-income and other debt instruments are subject to the possibility that interest rates could change. Changes in interest rates 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
34 | PROSPECTUS

interest rates and, thus, subject to more volatility than similar instruments with shorter durations. Generally, when interest rates increase, the values of 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, 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. 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. During periods when interest rates are low or negative, the Fund’s yield and performance may be adversely affected. Changes in monetary policy may exacerbate the risks associated with changing interest rates.
Investment in Investment Vehicles Risk—Investing in other investment vehicles, including ETFs, investment companies managed by the Investment Manager, or an affiliate of the Investment Manager, that invest in short-term fixed-income and floating rate securities (“Guggenheim short-term funds”), and other mutual funds, subjects the Fund to those risks affecting the investment vehicle, including the possibility that the value of the underlying securities held by the investment vehicle could decrease or the portfolio becomes illiquid. Moreover, the Fund and its shareholders will incur its pro rata share of the underlying vehicles’ expenses, which will reduce the Fund’s performance. In addition, investments in an ETF 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 net asset value of the shares and the listing exchange may halt trading of the shares. Certain risks are also specific to investments in Guggenheim short-term funds in which the Fund invests, as follows:
Asset-Backed Securities Risk—Investors in asset-backed securities, including residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities and other structured finance investments, generally receive payments that are part interest and part return of principal. These payments may vary based on the rate at which the underlying borrowers pay off their loans. Some asset-backed securities, including mortgage-backed securities, may have structures that make their performance based on changes in interest rates and other factors difficult to predict, causing their prices to be volatile. In particular, during periods of falling interest rates, asset-backed securities are more likely to be called or prepaid, which can result in the Guggenheim short-term funds having to reinvest proceeds in other investments at a lower interest rate or less advantageous terms, which would adversely affect the Guggenheim short-term funds. These instruments are particularly subject to interest rate, credit and liquidity and valuation risks. The terms of many structured finance investments and other instruments are tied to interbank reference rates (referred to collectively as the “London Interbank Offered Rate” or “LIBOR”), which function as a reference rate or benchmark for many underlying collateral investments, securities and transactions. It is anticipated that LIBOR ultimately will be discontinued, which may cause increased volatility and illiquidity in the markets for instruments with terms tied to LIBOR or other adverse consequences, such as decreased yields and reduction in value, for these instruments. These events may adversely affect the Guggenheim short-term funds and their investments in such instruments.
Collateralized Loan Obligations and Collateralized Debt Obligations Risk—Collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) bear many of the same risks as other forms of asset-backed securities, including interest rate risk, credit risk and default risk. As they are backed primarily by commercial loans, CLOs also bear many of the same risks as investing in loans directly. However, in addition to the risks associated with investing in commercial loans, the complex structure and highly leveraged nature of a CLO poses additional risks. CLOs incur indebtedness by issuing classes or “tranches” that vary in risk and yield. CLOs may experience substantial losses attributable to loan defaults or trading losses. Such losses on the underlying assets are borne first by the holders of subordinate tranches, which may take the form of an equity interest. A Guggenheim short-term fund’s investments in CLOs may decrease in market value when the CLO’s assets experience loan defaults or credit impairment, losses that exceed the most subordinate tranches, or market anticipation of loan defaults and investor aversion to CLO securities as a class.
Collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”) are structured similarly to CLOs and bear many of the same risks as CLOs, including interest rate risk, credit risk and default risk. CDOs are subject to additional risks because they are backed by pools of assets other than commercial loans, including securities (such as other asset-backed securities), synthetic instruments or bonds, and may be highly leveraged. Like CLOs, losses incurred by a CDO are borne first by holders of the most subordinate tranches. Accordingly, the risks of CDOs depend largely on the type of underlying collateral and the tranche of CDOs in which a Guggenheim short-term fund invests. Moreover, CDOs that obtain their exposure through synthetic investments are exposed to risks associated with derivative instruments.
PROSPECTUS | 35

The terms of many structured finance investments, including CLOs and CDOs, are tied to LIBOR, which functions as a reference rate or benchmark for many underlying collateral investments, securities and transactions. LIBOR is scheduled to be discontinued, which discontinuation may cause increased volatility and illiquidity in the markets for instruments with terms tied to LIBOR or other adverse consequences, such as decreased yields and reduction in value, for these instruments. Some structured finance investments are tied to relatively new and developing reference rates, such as SOFR or other reference rates based on SOFR. These relatively new and developing rates may behave differently than LIBOR would have or may not match the reference rate applicable to the underlying assets related to these investments. These events may adversely affect the Guggenheim short-term funds and their investments in CLOs and CDOs, including their volatility and liquidity.
High Yield and Unrated Securities Risk—High yield, below investment grade and unrated high risk debt securities (which also may be known as “junk bonds”) may present additional risks because these securities may be less liquid, and therefore more difficult to value accurately and sell at an advantageous price or time, and present more credit risk than investment grade bonds. The price of high yield securities tends to be subject to greater volatility due to issuer-specific factors, such as operating results and outlook and to real or perceived adverse economic and competitive industry conditions. This exposure may be obtained through investments in other investment companies. Based on its investment strategies, a significant portion of an Guggenheim short-term fund’s investments can be comprised of high yield and unrated securities and thus particularly prone to the foregoing risks, which may result in losses to the Guggenheim short-term fund.
Investment in Loans Risk—A Guggenheim short-term fund may invest in loans directly or indirectly through assignments or participations. Investments in loans, including loan syndicates and other direct lending opportunities, involve special types of risks, including credit risk, interest rate risk, counterparty risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. Loans may offer a fixed or floating interest rate. Loans are often below investment grade and may be unrated. A Guggenheim short-term fund’s investments in loans can also be difficult to value accurately and may be more susceptible to liquidity risk than fixed-income instruments of similar credit quality and/or maturity. A Guggenheim short-term fund is also subject to the risk that the value of the collateral for the loan may be insufficient or unavailable to cover the borrower’s obligations should the borrower fail to make payments, become insolvent or otherwise default. Transactions in loans are often subject to long settlement periods and often require consent from borrowers and/or an agent acting for the lenders, thus potentially limiting the ability of the Guggenheim short-term fund to invest sale proceeds in other investments and to use proceeds to meet its current redemption obligations. A Guggenheim short-term fund thus is subject to the risk of selling other investments at disadvantageous times or prices or taking other actions necessary to raise cash to meet its redemption obligations. Participations in loans may subject the Guggenheim short-term fund to the credit risk of both the borrower and the seller of the participation and may make enforcement of loan covenants, if any, more difficult for the Guggenheim short-term fund as legal action may have to go through the seller of the participations (or an agent acting on its behalf). Covenants contained in loan documentation are intended to protect lenders and investors by imposing certain restrictions and other limitations on a borrower’s and the credit group’s operations or assets and by providing certain information and consent rights to lenders. In addition to operational covenants, loans and other debt obligations often contain financial covenants, which require a borrower and the related credit group to satisfy certain financial tests at periodic intervals or to maintain compliance with certain financial metrics. A Guggenheim short-term fund invests in or is exposed to loans and other similar debt obligations that are sometimes referred to as “covenant-lite” loans or obligations, which generally are loans or other similar debt obligations that lack financial maintenance covenants or possess fewer or contingent financial maintenance covenants and other financial protections for lender and investors. These “covenant-lite” loans or obligations typically are particularly subject to the risks associated with investments in loans as described above.
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.
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 individual companies or issuers or particular industries. In addition, developments related to economic, political, social, public health, market or other conditions
36 | PROSPECTUS

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 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. The Fund’s investments may perform poorly or underperform the general securities markets or other types of securities.
Non-Correlation Risk—The Fund’s return may not match the return of the Index for a number of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs a number of operating expenses not applicable to the Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the Fund’s securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of the Index. Since the Index constituents may vary on a quarterly basis, the Fund’s costs associated with rebalancing may be greater than those incurred by other funds that track indices whose composition changes less frequently. In addition, the performance of the Fund and the Index may vary due to asset valuation differences and differences between the Fund’s portfolio and the Index resulting from legal restrictions, cash flows or operational inefficiencies.
Due to legal and regulatory rules and limitations, the Fund may not be able to invest in all securities included in the Index. For tax efficiency purposes, the Fund may sell certain securities to realize losses, causing it to deviate from the Index.
The Fund may not be fully invested at times, either as a result of cash flows into the Fund or reserves of cash held by the Fund to meet redemptions and pay expenses. If the Fund utilizes a sampling approach, or otherwise holds investments other than those which comprise the Index, its return may not correlate as well with the return of the Index, as would be the case if it purchased all of the securities in the Index with the same weightings as the Index.
Passive Management Risk—Unlike many investment companies, the Fund is not “actively” managed. Therefore, it would not necessarily sell a security because the security’s issuer was in financial trouble or because the security is otherwise unattractive for investment unless that security is removed from the Index. Although the Fund is not actively managed, the Fund can experience a higher than ordinary portfolio turnover rate as a result of the rebalancing of the Index. High portfolio turnover results in increased brokerage costs and other transactional charges, which are ultimately passed on to shareholders of the Fund, and may also result in adverse tax consequences.
Quantitative Investment Strategy Risk—The Fund seeks to track a quantitative strategy index, meaning that the Fund invests in securities comprising an index created by a proprietary quantitative model. The success of the Fund’s principal investment strategies depends on the effectiveness of the model in screening securities for inclusion in the Index. The factors used in the quantitative analysis and the weight placed on these factors may not be predictive of a security’s value and there is no guarantee that the quantitative model and the securities selected based on the model will produce the desired results. The Fund may be adversely affected by errors, imperfections, limitations and mistakes in the construction and implementation of the model, such as errors when calculating RBP® Probability scores. As a result, the Fund may have a lower return than if the Fund were managed using a fundamental investment strategy or an index based strategy that did not incorporate quantitative analysis.
REIT Risk—In addition to the risks pertaining to real estate investments more generally, REITs are subject to additional risks. The value of a REIT can depend on the structure of and cash flow generated by the REIT. REITs whose investments are concentrated in a limited number or type of properties, investments or narrow geographic area are subject to the risks affecting those properties or areas to a greater extent than a REIT with less concentrated investments. REITs are also subject to certain provisions under federal tax law. In addition, REITs may have expenses, including advisory and administration expenses, and the Fund and its shareholders will incur its pro rata share of the underlying expenses.
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. Because reverse purchase 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.
Swap Agreements and Derivatives 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 security). Swap agreements may be negotiated bilaterally and traded OTC between two parties or, for certain standardized swaps, must be exchange-traded through a futures commission merchant and/or cleared through a
PROSPECTUS | 37

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

PURCHASE AND SALE OF FUND SHARES
You may purchase or redeem Fund shares through your broker/dealer, other financial intermediary that has an agreement with Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC, the Fund’s distributor, or, for shares of each class other than Class P shares, through the Fund’s transfer agent. You may purchase, redeem or exchange shares of any class of the Fund on any day the New York Stock Exchange is open for business. The minimum initial investment for Class A and Class C shares is $2,500. The minimum subsequent investment is $100. Class A and Class C do not have a minimum account balance.
The Institutional Class minimum initial investment is $2 million, although the Investment Manager may waive this requirement at its discretion. The Institutional Class has a minimum account balance of $1 million. Due to the relatively high cost of maintaining accounts below the minimum account balance, the Fund reserves the right to redeem shares if an account balance falls below the minimum account balance for any reason. Investors will be given 60 days’ notice to reestablish the minimum account balance. If the account balance is not increased, the account may be closed and the proceeds sent to the investor. Institutional Class shares of the Fund will be redeemed at net asset value on the day the account is closed.
Class P shares of the Fund are offered through broker/dealers and other financial intermediaries with which Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC has an agreement for the use of Class P shares of the Fund in investment products, programs or accounts. Class P shares do not have a minimum initial investment amount, minimum subsequent investment amount or a minimum account balance. The Fund reserves the right to modify its minimum investment amount and account balance requirements at any time, with or without prior notice to you.
TAX INFORMATION
Fund distributions are taxable as ordinary income or capital gains (or a combination of both), unless your investment is through an IRA or other tax-advantaged retirement account. Investments through tax-advantaged accounts may sometimes become taxable upon withdrawal.

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

The RBP® methodology calculates the business performance that a company must achieve in order to support its then-current stock price based on information disclosed in the company’s publicly available financial reports. This metric is called Guggenheim Investments' Required Business Performance® or RBP®, and it is derived from a reverse discounted cash-flow analytic model using reported financial information. Then, based on growth and revenues during the prior three years, the RBP® methodology computes a probability (expressed as a percentage) that a company can achieve its then-current Required Business Performance. This metric is called the RBP® Probability score.
There is no assurance the RBP® methodology will successfully identify companies that will achieve their RBP® or outperform the performance of other indices.

Risk of Index Data Disruption or Errors
The calculation or rebalancing of an Index may not be possible or feasible under certain circumstances, including, without limitation, a systems failure, natural or man-made disaster, act of God, act of terrorism, labor disruption or any similar intervening circumstance, that is beyond the reasonable control of Guggenheim Investments and that Guggenheim Investments determines affects an Index or any Index component or may be subject to errors and mistakes. Upon the occurrence of such events, Guggenheim Investments may, in its discretion, elect to determine the appropriate composition of an Index based on alternative calculation or rebalancing methodologies, which may or may not accurately reflect changes in the market value of the Index components. Because of the Funds’ passive management strategies, each Fund will seek to provide investment results that correspond to the performance of its respective Index, regardless of whether it is accurately calculated or rebalanced.
An Index may be subject to errors and mistakes, including with respect to the quality, accuracy and completeness of the data used to compile the Index, which may not be identified and corrected by Guggenheim Investments for a period of time or at all. Such errors may negatively or positively impact a Fund. For example, during a period where an Index contains incorrect constituents, a Fund would have market exposure to such constituents and would be underexposed to the Index’s intended constituents. Any gains from errors in a Guggenheim Index will be kept by the respective Fund and any losses or costs resulting from errors in a Guggenheim Index will be borne by the respective Fund. Apart from scheduled rebalances, Guggenheim Investments may carry out additional ad hoc rebalances to a Guggenheim Index to correct an error in the selection of index constituents. Therefore, errors and additional ad hoc rebalances carried out by Guggenheim Investments to a Guggenheim Index may increase the costs to and the tracking error risk of the respective Fund.

Additional Information Regarding Investment Objectives and Strategies
The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Funds may change a Fund’s investment objective and strategies at any time without shareholder approval. A Fund will provide written notice to shareholders prior to, or concurrent with, any such change as required by applicable law. Should a Fund with a name suggesting a specific type of investment or industry change its policy of investing at least 80% of its assets (net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in the type of investment or industry suggested by its name, the Fund will provide shareholders at least 60 days’ notice prior to making the change. As with any investment, there can be no guarantee the Funds will achieve their investment objectives.
The investments and strategies described in this prospectus are those that the Funds use under normal conditions. Each Fund has an investment policy to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes, in securities that comprise its respective Index. For purposes of this policy, “under normal circumstances” does not include the time period (generally a few days) after a rebalancing or reconstitution (either a scheduled or ad hoc rebalancing or reconstitution) of such Fund’s underlying index that causes a Fund to be out of compliance with its 80% investment policy due to the fact that it is not possible or practicable to purchase the securities in the newly rebalanced/reconstituted Index or sell the applicable securities in the Fund’s portfolio (e.g., a security in the Index or the Fund’s portfolio is temporarily illiquid, unavailable or less liquid or the purchasing or selling a security implicates tax diversification requirements or other legal restrictions applicable to the Fund). In addition, for purposes of determining a Fund’s compliance with the Fund’s 80% investment policy, the Fund may, to the extent permitted by its principal investment strategy, seek to obtain exposure to the securities in which it primarily invests through a variety of investments, principally derivatives, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and other mutual funds and investment vehicles where the identity of those underlying portfolio securities can be reasonably determined.
In response to adverse or unstable market, economic, political, or other conditions, a Fund may temporarily depart from its normal investment policies and strategies provided that the alternative is consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and is believed to be, at the time the decision is made, in the best interest of the Fund. For example, a Fund may use derivatives to maintain exposure to its Index if it is unable to invest directly in a component security. A Fund may be unable to pursue or achieve its investment objective during that time and temporary investments could reduce the benefit to the Fund from any upswing in the market.
The Funds’ investment policies, limitations and other guidelines typically apply at the time an investment is made. As a result, a Fund generally may continue to hold positions that met a particular investment policy or limitation at the time the investment was made but subsequently do not meet the investment policy or limitation.
The Funds are subject to certain investment policy limitations referred to as “fundamental policies.” Each Fund’s policy to concentrate its investments in an industry or group of industries to approximately the same extent that its underlying Index concentrates in the securities of a particular industry or group of industries is a fundamental policy. The full text of each Fund’s fundamental policies is included in the SAI.
Descriptions of Principal Risks
An investment or type of security specifically identified in this Prospectus generally reflects a principal investment for a Fund. The Funds also may invest in or use certain other types of investments and investing techniques that are described in the SAI. An investment or type of security only identified in the SAI typically is treated as a non-principal investment. Additional information on the principal risks and certain non-principal risks of the Funds is set forth below. The risks are listed in alphabetical order, not in the order of importance or potential exposure, and not all of the risks are principal risks for each Fund. The fact that a particular risk was not indicated as a principal risk for a Fund does not mean that the Fund is prohibited from investing its assets in securities that give rise to that risk. It simply means that the risk is not a principal risk for that Fund. Although the Funds will not generally trade for short-term profits, circumstances may warrant a sale without regard to the length of time a security was held. A high turnover rate may increase transaction costs, including brokerage commissions, dealer markups and other transaction costs on the sale of the assets and on reinvestment in other assets, which decreases the value of investments, and may result in additional taxable gains (including short term gains) for a Fund and adversely affect a
PROSPECTUS | 43

Fund’s performance. In seeking to meet its investment objective and to adapt to changing economic environments, a Fund’s assets may be invested in any type of security or instrument whose investment characteristics are consistent with the Fund’s investment program, including some that may not be listed in this Prospectus.
Investors should note that each Fund reserves the right to discontinue offering shares at any time, to merge or reorganize itself or a class of shares, or to cease operations and liquidate at any time. In addition, portfolio managers can change at any time, the investment manager can be replaced, and an investment sub-adviser can be appointed to manage a Fund.
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 sudden and substantial losses. The fact that a particular risk below is not specifically identified as being heightened under current conditions does not mean that the risk is not greater than under normal conditions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Risk — When all or a portion of a Fund’s assets are allocated to cash or cash equivalents, the Fund’s potential for gain during a market upswing may be limited 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 a Fund could lose money through these investments. These risks are currently heightened for Guggenheim Directional Allocation Fund because the Fund has moved to 100% allocation to cash and cash equivalents in recent periods in response to recent market and economic conditions. The Fund will continue with 100% allocation to cash and cash equivalents if market conditions warrant.
Concentration Risk — A Fund’s assets will only be concentrated in an industry or group of industries to the extent that its Index concentrates in a particular industry or group of industries. By concentrating its assets in a single industry or group of industries, a Fund is subject to the risk that economic, political or other conditions that have a negative effect on that industry or group of industries will negatively impact the Fund to a greater extent than if the Fund’s assets were invested in a wider variety of industries. The amount of a Fund’s assets in a particular industry may not match the industry’s representation in the applicable Index during rebalancing or when or if the fund is small.
Historically, the Indexes the Funds are designed to track have been concentrated from time to time in one or more of the following industries: industrials, financials, consumer staples, health care, information technology, energy and consumer discretionary. The principal risks relating to a Fund’s concentration in these industries are set forth below. However, the future composition of the Indexes may vary and, therefore, an Index’s historical industry concentrations may not match its future industry concentrations. Further, in the future, an Index may not be concentrated or may be concentrated in one or more other industries not identified below that are included in the Indexes.
Communications Services Risks — A Fund that concentrates in the communications services sector maybe subject to greater risks than a portfolio without such a concentration. The communication services sector includes companies that facilitate communication and offer related content and information through various mediums. It includes telecommunication services and media & entertainment companies, including producers of interactive gaming products and companies engaged in content and information creation or distribution through proprietary platforms. A Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to adverse developments impacting the sector, such as legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions, increased competition affecting the communication services sector, increased research and development costs and capital requirements, cyclicality of revenues and earnings, obsolescence of communications products and services due to technological advancement, shifting demographics and changes to consumer taste, which can negatively impact profitability. 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. While all companies may be
44 | PROSPECTUS

susceptible to network security breaches, certain companies in the communication services 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 and performance of investments in these issuers.
Consumer Discretionary Risks — A Fund that concentrates in the consumer discretionary industry (or a group of industries related to the consumer discretionary industry) may be subject to greater risks than a portfolio without such a concentration. Companies in the consumer discretionary industry can be significantly affected by the performance of the overall economy, interest rates, competition and consumer confidence. Success of these companies can depend heavily on disposable household income and consumer spending. Changes in demographics and consumer tastes can also affect the demand for, and success of, products of consumer discretionary companies.
Consumer Staples Risks — A Fund that concentrates in the consumer staples industry (or a group of industries related to the Consumer staples industry) may be subject to greater risks than a portfolio without such a concentration. Companies in the consumer staples industry can be adversely affected by changes in the worldwide economy, consumer spending, confidence, competition, demographics and preferences, exploration, production spending and the cost of commodities. Companies in this industry are also affected by changes in government regulations or policies, world events and economic conditions, as well as natural and man-made disasters and political, social or labor unrest that affect production and distribution of consumer staple products.
Energy Risks — A Fund that concentrates in the energy industry (or a group of industries related to the energy industry) may be subject to greater risks than a portfolio without such a concentration. The energy industry is cyclical and highly dependent on commodities prices. The market values of companies in the energy industry could be adversely affected by, among other factors, levels and volatility of global energy prices, commodity price volatility, energy supply and demand, changes in exchange rates and interest rates, imposition of import controls, increased competition, capital expenditures on exploration and production, depletion of resources, development of alternative energy sources and energy conservation efforts, technological developments, tax treatment and labor relations. Companies in this sector are subject to substantial government regulation and contractual fixed pricing, which may increase the cost of business and limit these companies’ earnings, and a significant portion of their revenues depends on a relatively small number of customers, including governmental entities and utilities. As a result, governmental budget constraints may have a material adverse effect on the stock prices of companies in this industry. Energy companies may also operate in or engage in transactions involving countries with less developed regulatory regimes or a history of expropriation, nationalization or other adverse policies. Energy companies also face a significant risk of civil liability from accidents resulting in injury or loss of life or property, pollution or other environmental mishaps, equipment malfunctions or mishandling of materials and a risk of loss from terrorism, political strife and natural disasters. Any such event could have serious consequences for the general population of the area affected and result in a material adverse impact to a fund’s holdings and the performance of the fund.
Financial Sector Risk — A Fund that concentrates in the financial industry (or a group of industries related to the financial industry) may be subject to greater risks than a portfolio without such a concentration. The financial sector can be significantly affected by changes in interest rates, government regulation, the rate of defaults on corporate, consumer and government debt, the availability and cost of capital, the impact of more stringent capital requirements, and other developments adversely impacting companies operating in this sector. Financial services companies are subject to extensive governmental regulation which may limit both the amounts and types of loans and other financial commitments they can make, the interest rates and fees they can charge, the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds, and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition. A Fund may be adversely affected by events or developments negatively impacting the financial sector. For example, events in the financial sector may cause an unusually high degree of volatility in the financial markets, both domestic and foreign, and cause certain financial services companies to incur losses.
Health Care Risks — A Fund that concentrates in the health care industry (or a group of industries related to the health care industry) may be subject to greater risks than a portfolio without such a concentration. Companies in the health care industry are subject to government regulation and reimbursement rates, as well
PROSPECTUS | 45

as government approval of products and services, which could have a significant effect on price and availability. A number of legislative proposals concerning healthcare have been considered and/or enacted by the U.S. Congress in recent years. These span a wide range of topics, including cost control, national health insurance, incentives for compensation in the provision of health care services, tax incentives and penalties related to health care insurance premiums, and promotion of prepaid healthcare plans. A Fund cannot predict what proposals will be enacted or what effect such proposals may have on health care-related companies. Furthermore, the types of products or services produced or provided by health care companies quickly can become obsolete. In addition, pharmaceutical companies and other companies in the health care industries can be significantly affected by patent expirations. In addition, many health care-related companies are smaller and less seasoned than companies in other industries.
Industrials Risks — A Fund that concentrates in the industrial industry (or a group of industries related to the industrial industry) may be subject to greater risks than a portfolio without such a concentration. Stock prices for industrial companies are affected by supply and demand both for their specific product or service and for industrial sector products in general. Government regulation, world events, exchange rates and economic conditions, technological developments and liabilities for environmental damage and general civil liabilities will likewise affect the performance of these companies. Companies in the industrial sector can be significantly affected by government spending policies because companies involved in this sector may rely to a significant extent on U.S. and foreign government demand for their products and services. Thus, the financial condition of, and investor interest in, such companies may be heavily influenced by governmental spending policies which are typically under pressure from efforts to control the U.S. (and other) government budgets. Some other companies in the industrial sector are cyclical and have occasional sharp price movements which may result from changes in the economy, fuel prices, labor agreements and insurance costs.
Information Technology Risks — A Fund that concentrates in the information technology industry (or a group of industries related to the information technology industry) may be subject to greater risks than a portfolio without such a concentration. Information technology companies face intense competition, both domestically and internationally, which may have an adverse effect on profit margins. Like other technology companies, information technology companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. The products of information technology companies may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments and frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. Information technology companies may be subject to extensive regulatory requirements causing considerable expense and delay. Information technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights. The loss or impairment of these rights may adversely affect the profitability of these companies.
Utility Risks — A Fund that concentrates in the utility industry (or a group of industries related to the utility industry) may be subject to greater risks than a portfolio without such a concentration. Companies in the utility industry are subject to many risks, including the following: increases in fuel and other operating costs; restrictions on operations, increased costs, and delays as a result of environmental and safety regulations; coping with the impact of energy conservation and other factors reducing the demand for services; technological innovations that may render existing plants, equipment or products obsolete; the potential impact of natural or man-made disasters; difficulty in obtaining adequate returns on invested capital; difficulty in obtaining approval of rate increases; the high cost of obtaining financing, particularly during periods of inflation; and increased competition resulting from deregulation, overcapacity, and pricing pressures.
Credit Risk—A Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a debt instrument or a counterparty to a derivatives transaction or other transaction (such as a repurchase agreement or a loan of portfolio securities or other instruments) is unable or unwilling, or perceived to be unable or unwilling, to pay interest or repay principal on time or defaults. The risk that such issuer, guarantor or counterparty is less willing or able to do so is heightened in market environments where interest rates are rising. If an issuer fails to pay interest, a Fund’s income would likely be reduced, and if an issuer fails to repay principal, the value of the instrument likely would fall and the Fund could lose money. This risk is especially acute with respect to high yield, below investment grade and unrated high risk debt instruments (which also may be known as “junk bonds”), whose issuers are particularly susceptible to fail to meet principal or interest obligations. In addition, under current conditions, there is an increasing amount of issuers that are unprofitable, have little cash on hand and/or are unable to pay the interest owed on their debt obligations and the number of such issuers may increase if demand for their goods and services falls, borrowing costs rise due to governmental action or inaction or other reasons. Also, the issuer, guarantor or counterparty may suffer adverse changes in its financial condition or reduced demand for its goods and services or be adversely affected by
46 | PROSPECTUS

economic, political, public health or social conditions that could lower the credit quality (or the market’s perception of the credit quality) of the issuer or instrument, leading to greater volatility in the price of the instrument and in shares of a Fund. Although credit quality may not accurately reflect the true credit risk of an instrument, a change in the credit quality rating of an instrument or an issuer can have a rapid, adverse effect on the instrument’s liquidity and make it more difficult for a Fund to sell at an advantageous price or time. The risk of the occurrence of these types of events is heightened in market environments where interest rates are rising. Any applicable limitation on the credit quality of an issuer or instrument in which a Fund may invest is applied at the time the Fund purchases the instrument.
The degree of credit risk depends on the particular instrument and the financial condition of the issuer, guarantor or counterparty, which are often reflected in its credit quality. Credit quality is a measure of the issuer’s expected ability to make all required interest and principal payments in a timely manner. An issuer with the highest credit rating has a very strong capacity with respect to making all payments. An issuer with the second-highest credit rating has a strong capacity to make all payments, but the degree of safety is somewhat less. An issuer with the lowest credit quality rating may be in default or have extremely poor prospects of making timely payment of interest and principal. Credit ratings assigned by rating agencies are based on a number of factors and subjective judgments and therefore do not necessarily represent an issuer’s actual financial condition or the volatility or liquidity of the security. Although higher-rated securities generally present lower credit risk as compared to lower-rated or unrated securities, an issuer with a high credit rating may in fact be exposed to heightened levels of credit or liquidity risk. See Appendix A of the SAI for a more complete discussion of the meaning of the different credit quality ratings.
Investment grade instruments are debt instruments that have been determined by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization to have a medium to high probability of being paid (although there is always a risk of default) or, if unrated, have been determined by the Investment Manager to be of comparable quality. Investment grade instruments are designated “BBB”, “A”, “AA” or “AAA” by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group, Fitch Investors Service, Inc., DBRS Ltd., Morningstar Credit Ratings, LLC and Kroll Bond Rating Agency, Inc., “Baa”, “A”, “Aa” or “Aaa” by Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”), and “bbb”, “a”, “aa”, or “aaa” by A.M. Best Company, or an equivalent rating by any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization, or have been determined by the Investment Manager to be of comparable quality. If nationally recognized statistical rating organizations assign different ratings to the same instrument, a Fund will use the higher rating for purposes of determining the instrument’s credit quality. The Investment Managers’ credit analysis includes looking at factors such as an issuer’s debt service coverage (i.e., its ability to make interest payments on its debt), the issuer’s cash flow, general economic factors and domestic and global market conditions.
The loans and corporate debt instruments in which a Fund may invest include those (i) rated lower than investment grade credit quality, e.g., rated lower than “Baa” category by Moody’s or “BBB” category by Standard & Poor’s Corporation, or have been issued by issuers who have issued other debt instruments which, if rated, would be rated lower than investment grade credit quality or (ii) unrated but the borrowers and their other loans typically are rated below investment grade. Investment decisions will be based largely on the credit risk analysis performed by the Investment Manager and not on rating agency evaluations. This analysis may be difficult to perform. Information about many loans and their issuers generally is not available in the public domain because many issuers have not issued securities to the public and are not subject to reporting requirements under federal securities laws. Thus, little public information typically exists about these companies. Generally, however, these issuers are required to provide certain financial information to lenders, and certain information may be available from other participants or agents in the loan marketplace. If a Fund purchases an unrated instrument or if the credit quality rating of an instrument declines after purchase, the Fund will rely on its analysis of the instrument’s credit risk more heavily than usual. If an issuer, guarantor or counterparty declares bankruptcy or is declared bankrupt, a Fund would likely be adversely affected in its ability to receive principal or interest owed or otherwise to enforce the financial obligations of the other party. The Fund may be subject to increased costs associated with the bankruptcy process and experience losses as a result of the deterioration of the financial condition of the issuer, guarantor or counterparty. The risks to a Fund related to such bankruptcies are elevated.
Derivatives Risk — A Fund may invest in derivatives, such as swaps, futures contracts and options contracts and other instruments described in the Fund’s principal investment strategies, to pursue its investment objective and to create economic leverage in the Fund; to seek to enhance total return; to seek to hedge against fluctuations in securities prices, interest rates, currency rates, etc.; to seek to change the effective duration of a Fund’s portfolio; to seek to manage certain investment risks; 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 a Fund to risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in the instruments underlying those derivatives, including risks relating to
PROSPECTUS | 47

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 may also expose a Fund to the performance of securities that the Fund does not own. Changes in value of a derivative may also create sudden margin delivery or settlement payment obligations for a 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 Investment Manager is incorrect about its expectations of market conditions, the use of derivatives could also result in a loss, which in some cases may be unlimited. Use of derivatives may also cause a Fund to be subject to additional regulations, which may generate additional Fund expenses. These practices also entail transactional expenses and may cause a Fund to realize higher amounts of short-term capital gains than if the Fund had not engaged in such transactions. The markets for certain derivatives, including those located in certain foreign countries, are relatively new and still developing, which may expose a Fund to increased counterparty credit and liquidity risks.
Certain of the derivatives in which the Funds invest are traded (and privately negotiated) in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. OTC derivatives are complex and often valued subjectively, which exposes a 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 a Fund. In addition, OTC derivative instruments are often highly customized and tailored to meet the needs of the Funds and their trading counterparties. If a derivative transaction is particularly large or if the relevant market is illiquid, it may not be possible to initiate a transaction or liquidate a position at an advantageous time or price. As a result and similar to other privately negotiated contracts, a Fund is subject to counterparty credit risk with respect to such derivative contracts. Certain derivatives are subject to mandatory exchange trading and/or clearing, which exposes a 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 a Fund invests.
Counterparty Credit Risk — Counterparty risk is the risk that a counterparty to Fund transactions (e.g., prime brokerage or securities lending arrangement or derivatives transaction) will be unable or unwilling to perform its contractual obligation to the Fund. A 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. A Fund may use counterparty agreements to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized in particular predetermined investments or instruments. Through these investments and related arrangements (e.g., prime brokerage or securities lending arrangements or derivatives transactions), a 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 a Fund, a 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 a Fund, the value of your shares in a Fund may decrease. Such risk is heightened in market environments where interest rates are rising.
A Fund bears the risk that counterparties may be adversely affected by legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions, increased competition, and/or wide scale credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of the counterparties’ other trading partners or borrowers.
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 a Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market. Futures markets can be highly volatile, and the use of futures may increase the volatility of a Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”). Exchanges can limit the number of futures and options that can be held or controlled by a Fund or its Investment Manager, thus limiting the ability to implement a Fund’s strategies. Futures are also subject to leveraging risk and can be subject to liquidity risk.
48 | PROSPECTUS

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, interest rate or some other economic factor. Hybrid instruments can be used as an efficient means of pursuing a variety of investment goals, including currency hedging and increased total return. The risks of such investments would reflect the risks of investing in futures, options and securities, including volatility and illiquidity. Such securities may bear interest or pay dividends at below market (or even relatively nominal) rates. Under certain conditions, the redemption value of such an investment could be zero.
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 are also 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 Investment Manager’s ability to predict correctly future price fluctuations and the degree of correlation between the markets for options and the underlying instruments. Exchanges can limit the number of positions that can be held or controlled by a Fund or its Investment Manager, thus limiting the ability to implement a Fund’s strategies. Options are also particularly subject to leverage risk and can be subject to liquidity risk. Because option premiums paid or received by a Fund are small in relation to the market value of the investments underlying the options, a Fund is exposed to the risk that buying and selling put and call options can be more speculative than investing directly in securities.
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, must be exchange-traded through a futures commission merchant or swap execution facility and cleared through a clearinghouse that serves as a central counterparty. In a standard swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. A Fund may enter into swap agreements, including, but not limited to total return swaps, index swaps, interest rate swaps, municipal market data rate locks, and credit default swaps. A Fund may utilize swap agreements in an attempt to gain exposure to certain securities without purchasing those securities 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 a Fund. In addition, a 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. Additionally, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) and other applicable regulators have adopted rules imposing certain margin requirements, including minimums, on OTC swaps, which may result in a Fund and its counterparties posting higher margin amounts for OTC swaps. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, as amended (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) and related regulatory developments require the clearing and exchange-trading of many OTC derivative instruments that the CFTC and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) have defined as “swaps.” Mandatory exchange-trading and clearing are occurring on a phased-in basis based on the type of market participant and CFTC approval of contracts for central clearing. The Investment Manager will continue to monitor developments in this area, particularly to the extent regulatory changes affect a Fund’s ability to enter into swap agreements.
Equity Securities Risk — A Fund may invest in equity securities and equity-related securities, which include common stocks and other equity securities (and securities convertible into stocks), and the prices of equity securities generally fluctuate in value more than other investments. Growth stocks may be more volatile than value stocks. The
PROSPECTUS | 49

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, a 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 a Fund fall, the value of your investment in the Fund will be adversely affected. A Fund may lose a substantial part, or even all, of its investment in a company’s stock.
A Fund’s investment in securities offered through initial public offerings (“IPOs”) may have a magnified performance impact, either positive or negative, on the Fund, particularly if the Fund has a small asset base. There is no guarantee that as a Fund’s assets grow, it will continue to experience substantially similar performance by investing in IPOs. A Fund’s investments in IPOs may make it subject to more erratic price movements than the overall equity market.
Extension Risk — 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 rising. In addition, a 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, a 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.
Increasing Government and other Public Debt — Government and other public debt, including municipal obligations in which a Fund invests, 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 a 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 governments policies designed to support the markets may, at times, are 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 leads to increases 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 a Fund invests, including those that are not directly related to governmental or municipal issuers and thus affect Fund performance and risks.
Index Risk — There is no assurance that the index methodology will successfully identify companies that exhibit low or high probability scores or the corresponding Index will outperform the performance of other indices based on different methodologies. Because a Fund seeks to track the performance of an Index, if the Fund’s return is properly correlated to the return of the Index, the Fund will perform poorly when the Index performs poorly. An Index may be subject to errors and mistakes, including with respect to the quality, accuracy and completeness of the data or methods used to compile the Index, which may not be identified and corrected by Guggenheim Investments for a period of time or at all. Such errors may negatively impact a Fund.

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 may adversely affect the Fund’s investments in these instruments, such as the value or liquidity of, and income generated by, the investments. 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 a Fund or to which a Fund is exposed (i.e., the longer the average portfolio duration of a Fund), the more a Fund’s share price will likely fluctuate in response to interest rate changes. Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security’s price to changes in interest rates that incorporates a security’s yield, coupon, final maturity and call features, among other characteristics. For example, the NAV per share of a bond fund with an average duration of eight years would be expected to fall approximately 8% if interest rates rose by one percentage point.
However, measures such as duration may not accurately reflect the true interest rate sensitivity of instruments held by a Fund and, in turn, a 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 an instrument for a variety of reasons, if an issuer does so during a time of declining interest rates, a 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 and other features of the security.
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 a 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 a 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 ”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 a Fund to be unable to recoup the full amount of its initial investment and/or cause a Fund to reinvest in lower-yielding securities, thereby reducing the Fund’s yield or otherwise adversely impacting the Fund. Please refer to “Prepayment Risk” for additional information.
Certain debt instruments, such as instruments with a negative duration or inverse instruments, are also subject to interest rate risk, although such instruments generally react differently to changes in interest rates than instruments with positive durations. A Fund’s investments in these instruments also may be adversely affected by changes in interest rates. For example, the value of instruments with negative durations, such as inverse floaters, generally decrease if interest rates decline.
The U.S. Federal Reserve (“Federal Reserve”), in recent periods, has increased interest rates at significant levels and signaled an intention to continue to raise interest rates and maintain interest rates at increased levels until inflation decreases to the Federal Reserve’s target level. It is difficult to predict how long the Federal Reserve’s current stance on interest rates will persist and the impact these actions will have on the economy and the Funds’ investments and the markets where they trade.

Changing Fixed-Income Market Conditions — There is a risk that interest rates across the financial system may change, sometimes unpredictably, 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 a Fund’s susceptibility to interest rate risk and diminish yield and performance (e.g., during periods of very low or negative interest rates, a Fund may be unable to maintain positive returns).
Changes in fixed-income or related market conditions, including the potential for changes to interest rates and negative 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 a Fund’s investments and NAV per share to decline. A rise in general interest rates may also result in increased redemptions from a Fund. Very low, negative or changing interest rates may also have unpredictable effects on securities markets in general, and may cause economic and financial instability, which would likely directly or indirectly impact a Fund’s investments, yield and performance.
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 high inflation in recent periods, governmental authorities have implemented significant fiscal and monetary policy changes, including increasing interest rates and implementation of quantitative tightening. 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. The Federal Reserve Board has signaled its intention to continue raising interest rates and maintain interest rates at increased levels until inflation decreases to the Federal Reserve’s target level. It is difficult to accurately predict the effect of these actions. Certain economic conditions and market environments will expose fixed-income and debt instruments to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity, which in turn would impact a Fund’s investments and may negatively impact a Fund’s characteristics, which in turn would impact performance.
A Fund that invests in derivatives tied to fixed-income or related markets can be more substantially exposed to these risks than a Fund that does not invest in such derivatives. To the extent a Fund experiences high redemptions because of changes in interest rates, the Fund may experience increased portfolio turnover, which will increase the costs that the Fund incurs and may lower the Fund’s performance. The liquidity levels of a Fund’s portfolio may also be affected and the Fund could be required to sell holdings at disadvantageous times or prices in order to meet redemption obligations or other liquidity needs.
Inflation Risk—Certain of the Funds’ 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 a 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). The market price of 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 a Fund. The risk of inflation is greater for debt instruments with longer maturities and especially those that pay a fixed rather than variable interest rate. Inflation has reached unusually high levels in recent periods and the Federal Reserve has increased interest rates significantly to seek to reduce it.
A Fund that invests in derivatives tied to fixed-income or related markets may be more substantially exposed to these risks than a fund that does not invest in such derivatives. To the extent a Fund experiences high redemptions because of changes in interest rates, the Fund may experience increased portfolio turnover, which will increase the costs that the Fund incurs and may lower the Fund’s performance. The liquidity levels of a Fund’s portfolio may also be affected and the Fund could be required to sell holdings at disadvantageous times or prices in order to meet redemption obligations or other liquidity needs.
Investments in Guggenheim Short-Term Funds — Under certain conditions, the Guggenheim Directional Allocation will invest some or all of its assets in cash, fixed-income securities, government bonds, money market securities, repurchase agreements or securities of other investment companies, particularly short-term fixed-income investment companies advised by the Investment Manager, or an affiliate of the Investment Manager (“Guggenheim short-term funds”). Investments by the Fund in these investment companies significantly increases the Fund's exposure to the following asset categories: (i) a broad range of high yield, high risk debt securities rated below the top four long-term rating categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (also known as “junk bonds”) or, if unrated, determined by the Investment Manager, to be of comparable quality; (ii) collateralized loan
52 | PROSPECTUS

obligations (“CLOs”), other asset-backed securities and similarly structured debt investments; and (iii) other short-term fixed or floating rate debt securities. Such investments expose the Fund to the risks of these asset categories and decreases in the value of these investments may cause the Fund to deviate from its investment objective. These investment companies are registered open-end investment companies primarily available only to other investment companies and separately managed accounts managed by the Investment Manager and its affiliates. The subscription and redemption activities of these large investors can have a significant adverse effect on the investment companies and thus the Fund. For example, the liquidity of the investment companies can be limited as a result of large redemptions. Some of the risks of investing in these funds include:
Asset-Backed Securities Risk — The Guggenheim short-term funds may invest in asset-backed securities issued by legal entities that are sponsored by banks, investment banks, other financial institutions or companies, asset management firms or funds and are specifically created for the purpose of issuing such asset-backed securities. Investors in asset-backed securities receive payments that are part interest and part return of principal or certain asset-backed securities may be interest-only securities or principal-only securities. These payments typically depend upon the cash flows generated by an underlying pool of assets and vary based on the rate at which the underlying obligors pay off their liabilities under the underlying assets. The pooled assets provide cash flow to the issuer, which then makes interest and principal payments to investors.
Investments in asset-backed securities may be subject to many of the same risks that are applicable to investments in securities generally, including currency risk, geographic emphasis risk, high yield and unrated securities risk, leverage risk, prepayment and extension risk and regulatory risk. Asset-backed securities are particularly subject to interest rate and credit risks. Compared to other fixed income investments with similar maturity and credit, asset-backed securities generally increase in value to a lesser extent when interest rates decline and generally decline in value to a similar or greater extent when interest rates rise. Asset-backed securities are also subject to liquidity and valuation risk and, therefore, may be difficult to value accurately or sell at an advantageous time or price and involve greater transaction costs and wider bid/ask spreads than certain other instruments. In addition, the assets or collateral underlying an asset-backed security may be insufficient or unavailable in the event of a default and enforcing rights with respect to these assets or collateral may be difficult and costly. These risks are elevated given the current state of economic, market, labor and public health conditions. Asset-backed securities are particularly subject to interest rate, credit and liquidity and valuation risks.
In addition, investments in asset-backed securities entail additional risks relating to the underlying pools of assets, including credit risk, default risk (such as a borrower’s default on its mortgage obligation and the default or failure of a guarantee underlying the asset-backed security) and prepayment and extension risk with respect to the underlying pool or individual assets represented in the pool. With respect to a mortgage loan backing mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), when an underlying obligor, such as a homeowner, makes a prepayment, an investor in the securities receives a larger portion of its principal investment back, which means that there will be a decrease in monthly interest payments and the investor may not be able to reinvest the principal it receives as a result of such prepayment in a security with a similar risk, return or liquidity profile. In addition to prepayments, the underlying assets owned by an issuer of asset-backed securities are subject to the risk of defaults, and both defaults and prepayments may shorten the securities’ weighted average life and may lower their return, which may adversely affect a Guggenheim short-term fund’s investment in the asset-backed securities. The value of asset-backed securities held by a Guggenheim short-term fund also may change because of actual or perceived changes in the creditworthiness of the underlying asset obligors, the originators, the servicing agents, the financial institutions, if any, providing credit support, or swap counterparties in the case of synthetic asset-backed securities. In addition, there is no guarantee that the insurer or guarantor of mortgage or mortgage-related securities, such as MBS, will meet their obligations.
Further, credit risk retention requirements for asset-backed securities may increase the costs to originators, securitizers and, in certain cases, asset managers of securitization vehicles in which a Guggenheim short-term fund may invest. Although the impact of these requirements is uncertain, certain additional costs may be passed to a Guggenheim short-term fund and the Guggenheim short-term fund’s investments in asset-backed securities may be adversely affected. Many of the other changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act or foreign regulatory developments could materially impact the value of the Guggenheim short-term fund’s assets, expose the Guggenheim short-term fund to additional costs and require changes to investment practices, thereby adversely affecting the Guggenheim short-term fund’s performance. Other regulatory, legislative or governmental actions may also adversely impact investments in asset-backed securities.
PROSPECTUS | 53

Additional risks relating to investments in asset-backed securities may arise because of the type of asset-backed securities in which a Guggenheim short-term fund invests, defined by the assets collateralizing the asset-backed securities. For example, collateralized mortgage obligations may have complex or highly variable prepayment terms, such as companion classes, interest only or principal only payments, inverse floaters and residuals. These investments generally exhibit similar risks to those of MBS but entail greater market, prepayment and liquidity risks than other mortgage-backed securities, and may be more volatile or less liquid than other mortgage-backed securities. In addition, asset-backed securities backed by aircraft loans and leases may provide a Guggenheim short-term fund with a less effective security interest in the related underlying collateral than do mortgage-related securities and, thus, it is possible that recovery on repossessed collateral might be unavailable or inadequate to support payments on these asset-backed securities. In addition to the risks inherent in asset-backed securities generally, risks associated with aircraft securitizations include but are not limited to risks related to commercial aircraft, the leasing of aircraft by commercial airlines and the commercial aviation industry generally. With respect to any one aircraft, the value of such aircraft can be affected by the particular maintenance and operating history for the aircraft or its components, the model and type of aircraft, the jurisdiction of registration (including legal risks, costs and delays in attempting to repossess and export such aircraft following any default under the related loan or lease) and regulatory risk. With respect to the airline industry generally, economic and public health situation may at times result in widespread travel restrictions and reduced travel demand, which adversely affects the value and liquidity of aircraft securitizations. A Guggenheim short-term fund may invest in these and other types of asset-backed securities that may be developed in the future.
Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities — Commercial mortgage backed securities (“CMBS”) are collateralized by one or more commercial mortgage loans. Banks and other lending institutions typically group the loans into pools and interests in these pools are then sold to investors, allowing the lender to have more money available to loan to other commercial real estate owners. Commercial mortgage loans may be secured by office properties, retail properties, hotels, mixed use properties or multi-family apartment buildings. Investments in CMBS are subject to the risks of asset-backed securities generally and particularly subject to credit risk, interest rate risk, and liquidity and valuation risk. Economic downturns, rises in unemployment and other events that limit the activities of and demand for commercial retail and office spaces (including the recent expansion of employees working from home) adversely impact the value of such securities. For example, economic decline in the businesses operated by the tenants of office properties may increase the likelihood that the tenants may be unable to pay their rent or that properties may be unable to attract or retain tenants. Moreover, other types of events, domestic or international, may affect general economic conditions and financial markets, such as pandemics, armed conflicts, energy supply or price disruptions, natural disasters and man-made disasters, which may have a significant effect on the underlying commercial mortgage loans. In addition, adverse developments in the local, regional and national economies affect consumer spending and can have a significant effect on the success of a retail space. Further, increased competition in the market of a retail property through the addition of competing properties nearby can adversely impact the success of a retail property, even if the local, regional and national economies are doing well. Retail properties are also subject to conditions that could negatively affect the retail sector, such as increased unemployment, increased federal income and payroll taxes, increased health care costs, increased state and local taxes, increased real estate taxes, industry slowdowns, lack of availability of consumer credit, weak income growth, increased levels of consumer debt, poor housing market conditions, adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, plant closings, and other factors. Similarly, local real estate conditions, such as an oversupply of, or a reduction in demand for, retail space or retail goods, and the supply and creditworthiness of current and prospective tenants may negatively impact those retail properties. CMBS are also subject to the risk that the value of such securities will decline because, among other things, the securities are not issued or guaranteed as to principal or interest by the U.S. government or a government sponsored enterprise and, thus, would be subject to similar risks as non-agency MBS as described below. CMBS often are issued in the form of several different tranches. Depending on their respective seniority, individual tranches are subject to increased (and sometimes different) credit, prepayment and liquidity and valuation risks as compared to other tranches. CMBS are often subject to prepayment and liquidity and valuation risks and may experience greater price volatility than other types of asset-backed securities or MBS.
Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities — Home mortgage loans are typically grouped together into pools by banks and other lending institutions, and interests in these pools are then sold to investors, allowing the bank or other lending institution to have more money available to loan to home buyers. Some of these pools are guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or by government sponsored private
54 | PROSPECTUS

corporations-familiarly called “Ginnie Mae,” “Fannie Mae” and “Freddie Mac” (referred to as “agency” MBS) and others are created by non-governmental issuers without such guarantees (referred to as “non-agency” MBS. Non-agency MBS (also referred to as “private label”) are subject to the risk that the value of such securities will decline because, among other things, the securities are not issued or guaranteed as to principal or interest by the U.S. government or a government sponsored enterprise. Non-agency MBS are not subject to the same underwriting requirements for underlying mortgages as agency MBS and, as a result, mortgage loans underlying non-agency MBS typically have less favorable underwriting characteristics (such as credit risk and collateral) and a wider range in terms (such as interest rate, term and borrower characteristics) than agency MBS. Non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities often are issued in the form of several different tranches. Depending on their respective seniority, individual tranches are subject to increased (and sometimes different) credit, prepayment and liquidity and valuation risks as compared to other tranches. These securities are often subject to greater credit, prepayment and liquidity and valuation risks than agency MBS. In addition, these securities may be less readily marketable as the market for these securities is typically smaller and less liquid than the market for agency MBS, thus these securities may be subject to greater price fluctuation than agency MBS, especially during periods of weakness or perceived weakness in the mortgage and real estate sectors. Home mortgage loans may also be purchased and grouped together by non-lending institutions such as investment banks and hedge funds who will sell interests in such pools to investors.
Mortgage-related securities, such as commercial and residential MBS, are particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates. For example, rising interest rates tend to extend the duration of fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities. As a result, a rising interest rate environment can cause the prices of mortgage-backed securities to be increasingly volatile and increase the risk that payments on principal may occur more quickly or earlier than expected, each of which may adversely affect a Guggenheim short-term fund’s holdings of mortgage-backed securities. Rising interest rates generally result in a decline in the value of mortgage-related securities, such as MBS. In addition, in general, a decline of housing values and other economic developments (such as a rise in unemployment rates or a slowdown in the overall economy) may cause delinquencies or non-payment in mortgages (particularly sub-prime and non-prime mortgages) underlying MBS, which would likely adversely impact the ability of the issuer to make principal and/or interest payments timely or at all to holders of MBS and negatively affect a Guggenheim short-term fund’s investments in such MBS. Income from and values of MBS also may be greatly affected by demographic trends, such as population shifts or changing tastes and values, or increasing vacancies or declining rents resulting from legal, cultural, technological, global or local economic developments, as well as reduced demand for properties. In addition, the general effects of inflation on the United States economy can be wide ranging, as evidenced by rising interest rates, wages, and costs of consumer goods and necessities. The long-term effects of inflation on the general economy and on any individual mortgagor are unclear, and in certain cases, rising inflation may affect a mortgagor’s ability to repay its related mortgage loan, thereby reducing the amount received by the holders of MBS with respect to such mortgage loan. Additionally, increased rates of inflation, as are currently being experienced, may negatively affect the value of certain CMBS in the secondary market.
Collateralized Loan Obligations and Collateralized Debt Obligations Risk — Collateralized Loan Obligations and Collateralized Debt Obligations Risk—A collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) is an asset-backed security whose underlying collateral is comprised primarily of commercial loans. Such loans may include domestic and foreign senior secured loans, senior unsecured loans and subordinate corporate loans, some of which may be below investment grade or equivalent unrated loans. Investments in CLOs carry many of the same risks as investments in loans directly such as interest rate risk, credit and liquidity and valuation risks, and the risk of default. However, a Fund’s investment in CLO securities carries additional risks due to the complex structure and highly leveraged nature of a CLO. Additionally, the Fund’s investment in CLO securities will provide it with indirect exposure to the CLOs; this indirect investment structure presents certain risks to the Fund. For example, the Fund’s interest in CLO securities may be less liquid than the commercial loans held by the CLO; thus, it may be more difficult for the Fund to dispose of CLO securities than it would be for the Fund to dispose of commercial loans if it held such commercial loans directly. Additionally, CLOs normally charge management fees and administrative expenses, which fees and expenses would be borne by the Fund.
CLOs issue classes or “tranches” that vary in risk and yield. The most senior tranches have the lowest yield but the lowest level of risk, as they are senior in priority to the more junior tranches with respect to payments made by the CLO. Conversely, the most subordinated tranches have the highest potential yield
PROSPECTUS | 55

but also the highest level of risk relative to the other tranches, as they are the lowest in the priority of payments. Thus, losses on underlying assets are borne first by the holders of the most subordinate tranche, followed by the second-most subordinated tranche, and so forth. A CLO may experience substantial losses attributable to loan defaults or sales of underlying assets at a loss (due to a decline in market value of such assets or otherwise). A Guggenheim short-term fund’s investment in a CLO may decrease in market value because of, among other developments, (i) loan defaults or credit impairment; (ii) losses that exceed the subordinate tranches; (iii) an event of default occurring under a CLO, which could lead to acceleration and/or liquidation of the assets at a loss; (iv) market anticipation of defaults; and (v) investor aversion to CLO securities as a class. These risks may be magnified depending on the tranche of CLO securities in which a Guggenheim short-term fund invests. For example, investments in a junior tranche of CLO securities will likely be more sensitive to loan defaults or credit impairment than investments in more senior tranches.
Collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”) are structured similarly to CLOs, but are backed by pools of assets that are debt securities rather than commercial loans. Such debt securities typically include bonds, bank loans, other structured finance securities (including other asset-backed securities, securities backed by commercial real estate, and other CLOs) and/or synthetic instruments. CDOs are often highly leveraged, and like CLOs, the risks of investing in CDOs may be magnified depending on the tranche of CDO securities held by a Guggenheim short-term fund. The nature of the risks of CDOs depends largely on the type and quality of the underlying collateral and the tranche of CDOs in which a Guggenheim short-term fund may invest. CDOs collateralized by pools of structured finance securities carry many of the same risks as investing in structured finance securities directly, including losses with respect to the collateral underlying those asset-backed securities. However, in addition to the risk associated with investing in structured finance securities directly, CDOs are exposed to additional layers of risk. For example, because CDOs incur indebtedness by issuing classes or “tranches” that vary in risk and yield, a CDO is exposed to both the risk of defaults associated with the structured finance securities it holds, as well as the risk of defaults on the underlying assets held by the relevant structured finance vehicles. In addition, certain CDOs may not hold their underlying collateral directly, but rather use derivatives such as swaps to create “synthetic” exposure to the collateral pool. Such CDOs are exposed to the risks associated with derivative instruments.
Investments in CLOs and CDOs will expose a Fund to financial leverage and, thus expose the Fund to the risks associated with financial leverage (such as higher risk of volatility and magnified financial losses).
High Yield and Unrated Securities Risk — High yield debt securities in the lower rating (higher risk) categories of the recognized rating services are commonly referred to as “junk bonds.” High yield securities are debt securities that have been determined by a rating agency to have a lower probability of being paid and have a credit rating of “BB” category or lower by Standard & Poor’s Corporation and Fitch Investors Service, Inc. or “Ba” category or lower by Moody’s Investors Service or have been determined by an Investment Manager to be of comparable quality. The total return and yield of junk bonds can be expected to fluctuate more than the total return and yield of higher-quality bonds. Junk bonds (those rated below investment grade or in default, or unrated securities determined by the Investment Manager to be of comparable quality) are regarded as predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to meet principal and interest payments. Accordingly, the performance of a Guggenheim short-term fund that invests in such securities and a shareholder’s investment in the Guggenheim short-term fund may be adversely affected if an issuer is unable to pay interest and repay principal, either on time or at all. High yield securities may be subject to greater levels of credit risk and tend to be less liquid, and therefore more difficult to value accurately and sell at an advantageous price or time and may involve greater transactions costs and wider bid/ask spreads, than higher-quality bonds. Certain high yield securities may include weaker or less restrictive covenant protections, which would generally permit the borrowers to exercise more flexibility than in the case of high yield securities with stronger or more restrictive covenant protections. For example, a borrower may be able to incur more debt or provide less information to investors. As a result, these high yield securities are often subject to heightened risks. Generally, the risks associated with high yield securities are heightened during times of weakening economic conditions or rising interest rates (particularly for issuers that are highly leveraged). Based on its investment strategies, a significant portion of a Guggenheim short-term fund’s investments can be comprised of high yield and unrated securities and thus particularly prone to the foregoing risks, which may result in substantial losses to the Guggenheim short-term fund.
56 | PROSPECTUS

Successful investment in lower-medium and lower-rated debt securities involves greater investment risk and is highly dependent on the Investment Manager’s credit analysis. The value of high yield securities is particularly vulnerable to changes in interest rates and a real or perceived economic downturn or higher interest rates could cause a decline in high-yield bond prices by lessening the ability of issuers to make principal and interest payments. These securities are often thinly traded or subject to irregular trading and can be more difficult to sell and value accurately than higher-quality securities because there tends to be less public information available about these securities. Because objective pricing data may be less available, judgment may play a greater role in the valuation process. In addition, the entire high yield security market can experience sudden and sharp price swings due to a variety of factors, including changes in economic forecasts, stock market activity, large or sustained sales by major investors, a high-profile default, or a change in the market’s psychology regarding high yield investments. High yield securities may be more sensitive to adverse specific corporate or general market developments than higher-quality bonds. During periods of deteriorating economic conditions, such as recessions or periods of rising unemployment, or changing interest rates (notably increases), high yield securities are particularly susceptible to credit and default risk as delinquencies and losses could increase, and such increases could be sudden and significant. An economic downturn or individual corporate developments could adversely affect the market for these investments and reduce a Fund’s ability to sell these investments at an advantageous time or price. These types of developments could cause a high yield securities to lose significant market value, including before a default occurs. This type of volatility is usually associated more with stocks than bonds.
Investment in Loans Risk — Loans, such as syndicated bank loans and other direct lending opportunities, senior floating rate loans, secured and unsecured loans, second lien or more junior loans, bridge loans, revolving credit facilities, unfunded commitments, loan assignments or loan participations, may incur some of the same risks as other debt securities, such as prepayment risk, extension risk, credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and risks associated with high yield securities. The terms of certain loan agreements may cause certain loans to be particularly sensitive to changes in benchmark interest rates. Although some loans are secured by collateral, the collateral may be difficult to liquidate and the value of the collateral can decline or be insufficient or unavailable to lower the borrower’s obligations should the borrower default. In the event that a Guggenheim short-term fund becomes the owner of the collateral, the Guggenheim short-term fund would bear the risks, costs and liabilities associated with owning and disposing of the collateral. During periods of deteriorating economic conditions, such as recessions or periods of rising unemployment or increased interest rates, delinquencies and losses generally increase, sometimes dramatically, with respect to obligations under such loans. An economic downturn or individual corporate developments could adversely affect the market for these instruments and reduce the Fund’s ability to sell these instruments at an advantageous time or price. An economic downturn would generally lead to a higher non-payment rate and, a senior loan may lose significant market value before a default occurs.
Certain Guggenheim short-term funds are exposed to loans and other similar debt obligations that are sometimes referred to as “covenant-lite” loans or obligations (“covenant-lite obligations”), which are loans or other similar debt obligations that lack financial maintenance covenants or possess fewer or contingent financial maintenance covenants and other financial protections for lenders and investors. A Guggenheim short-term fund may also obtain exposure to covenant lite obligations through investment in securitization vehicles and other structured products. Covenant-lite obligations may carry more risk than traditional loans as they allow borrowers to engage in activities that would otherwise be difficult or impossible under a covenant-heavy loan agreement. In the event of default, covenant-lite obligations may exhibit diminished recovery values as the lender may not have the opportunity to negotiate with the borrower prior to default. A Fund may have a greater risk of loss on investments in covenant-lite obligations as compared to investments in traditional loans. Covenant-lite obligations generally allow borrowers to exercise more flexibility with respect to certain activities that may otherwise be limited or prohibited under similar loan obligations that are not covenant-lite. In addition, a Guggenheim short-term fund may receive less or less frequent financial reporting from a borrower under a covenant-lite obligation, which may result in more limited access to financial information, difficulty evaluating the borrower’s financial performance over time and delays in exercising rights and remedies in the event of a significant financial decline. As a result, investments in or exposure to covenant-lite obligations are generally subject to more risk than investments that contain traditional financial maintenance covenants and financial reporting requirements.
A Guggenheim short-term fund’s interest in a particular loan and/or in a particular collateral securing a loan may be subordinate to the interests of other creditors of the obligor. As a result, a loan may not be fully collateralized (and may be uncollateralized) and can decline significantly in value, which may result in the
PROSPECTUS | 57

Guggenheim short-term fund not receiving payments to which it is entitled on a timely basis or at all. In addition, the Guggenheim short-term funds’ may have limited rights to exercise remedies against collateral or against an obligor when payments are delayed or missed.
Loans may offer a fixed rate or floating rate of interest. Loans may decline in value if their interest rates do not rise as much or as fast as interest rates in general. In addition, to the extent a Guggenheim short-term fund holds a loan through a financial intermediary, or relies on a financial intermediary to administer the loan, the Guggenheim short-term fund’s investment, including receipt of principal and interest relating to the loan, will be subject to the credit risk of the intermediary.
Loans are subject to the risk that the scheduled interest or principal payments will not be paid. Lower-rated loans and debt securities (those of less than investment grade quality) involve greater risk of default on interest and principal payments than higher-rated loans and securities. In the event that a non-payment occurs, the value of that obligation likely will decline. Loans and other debt instruments rated below “BBB” category by S&P or “Baa” category by Moody’s or unrated but assessed by the Investment Manager to be of similar quality are considered to have speculative characteristics and are commonly referred to as “junk bonds.” Junk bonds entail greater default and other risks than those associated with higher-rated securities. In addition, loans that have a lower priority for repayment in a borrower’s capital structure may involve a higher degree of overall risk, and be subject to greater price and payment volatility, than more senior loans of the same borrower. For example, in the event of a default, second lien secured loans will generally be paid only if the value of the collateral exceeds the amount of the borrower’s obligations to the first lien secured lenders, and the remaining collateral may be insufficient to cover the full amount owed on the second lien loan in which the Guggenheim short-term fund has an interest.
Loans are especially vulnerable to the financial health, or perceived financial health, of the borrower but are also particularly susceptible to economic and market sentiment such that changes in these conditions or the occurrence of other economic or market events may reduce the demand for loans and cause their value to decline rapidly and unpredictably. Many loans and loan interests are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on transfer, resale or assignment that may limit the ability of a Fund to sell its interest in a loan at an advantageous time or price. The resale, or secondary, market for loans is currently growing, but may become more limited or more difficult to access, and such changes may be sudden and unpredictable. There is no organized exchange or board of trade on which loans are traded. Loans often trade in large denominations (typically $1 million and higher), and trades can be infrequent. The market has limited transparency, and information about actual trades may be difficult to obtain. Accordingly, some of the loans in which a Guggenheim short-term fund may invest will be relatively illiquid and difficult to value. A Guggenheim short-term fund may have difficulty in disposing of loans in a favorable or timely fashion, which could result in losses to the Guggenheim short-term fund. Transactions in loans are often subject to long settlement periods (in excess of the standard T+2 days settlement cycle for most securities and often longer than seven days). As a result, sale proceeds potentially will not be available to a Guggenheim short-term fund to make additional investments or to use proceeds to meet its current redemption obligations. A Guggenheim short-term fund thus is subject to the risk of selling other investments at disadvantageous times or prices or taking other actions necessary to raise cash to meet its redemption obligations such as borrowing from a bank or holding additional cash, particularly during periods of significant redemption activity, unusual market or economic conditions or financial stress.
Loans may be issued in connection with highly leveraged transactions, such as restructurings, leveraged buyouts, leveraged recapitalizations and acquisition financing. In such highly leveraged transactions, the borrower assumes large amounts of debt in order to have the financial resources to attempt to achieve its business objectives. Accordingly, loans that are part of highly leveraged transactions involve a significant risk that the borrower may default or go into bankruptcy or become insolvent. In addition, there may be limited public information about the issuer or the loan. Bankruptcy or other court proceedings may delay, limit or negate a Guggenheim short-term fund’s ability to collect payments on its loan investments or otherwise adversely affect its rights in collateral relating to the loan, such as invalidating the loan, the lien on any collateral or the priority status of the loan (or otherwise subordinating the Guggenheim short-term fund’s interest). Thus, a Guggenheim short-term fund may need to retain legal counsel or other advisors to help in seeking to enforce or protect its rights. As a result, a Guggenheim short-term fund may incur the costs associated with retaining such counsel or other advisors. In addition, if a Guggenheim short-term fund holds
58 | PROSPECTUS

certain loans, it may be required to exercise its rights collectively with other creditors or through an agent or other intermediary acting on behalf of multiple creditors, and the value of the Guggenheim short-term fund’s investment may decline or otherwise be adversely affected by delays or other risks associated with such collective procedures.
A Guggenheim short-term fund values its assets on each Business Day (as defined below). However, because the secondary market for loans is limited, trading in loans (or certain types of loans) may be irregular and opportunities to invest in loans (or certain types of loans) may be limited. In addition, loans may be difficult to value accurately as market quotations may not be readily available for some loans or may be volatile and/or subject to large spreads between bid and ask prices, and valuation may require more research than for other securities. A default or expected default on a loan could also make it more difficult for a Guggenheim short-term fund to dispose of the investment at a price approximating the value placed on the investment by the Guggenheim short-term fund. In addition, elements of judgment may play a greater role in valuation than for securities with a more active secondary market, because there is less reliable, objective market value data available.
An increase in the demand for loans may provide improved liquidity and resale prices but it may also adversely affect the rate of interest payable on loans and/or the rights provided to lenders or buyers, such as the Funds, and increase the price of loans in the secondary market. A decrease in the demand for loans and instances of broader market events (such as turmoil in the loan market or significant sales of loans) may adversely affect the liquidity and value of loans in a Guggenheim short-term fund’s portfolio.
In certain circumstances, the Investment Manager or its affiliates (including on behalf of clients other than a Guggenheim short-term fund) or a Guggenheim short-term fund may be in possession of material non-public information about a borrower as a result of its ownership of a loan and/or corporate debt security of a borrower. Because U.S. laws and regulations generally prohibit trading in securities of issuers while in possession of material, non-public information, a Guggenheim short-term fund might be unable (potentially for a substantial period of time) to trade securities or other instruments issued by the borrower when it would otherwise be advantageous to do so and, as such, could incur a loss. In circumstances when the Investment Manager or a Guggenheim short-term fund determines to avoid or to not receive non-public information about a borrower for loan investments being considered for acquisition by the Guggenheim short-term fund or held by the Guggenheim short-term fund, the Guggenheim short-term fund may be disadvantaged relative to other investors that do receive such information, and the Guggenheim short-term fund may not be able to take advantage of other investment opportunities that it may otherwise have. In addition, loans and other similar instruments may not be considered “securities” and, as a result, a Guggenheim short-term fund may not be entitled to rely on the anti-fraud protections under the federal securities laws and instead may have to resort to state law and direct claims.
The Investment Manager or its affiliates may participate in the primary and secondary market for loans or other transactions with possible borrowers. As a result, a Guggenheim short-term fund may be legally restricted from acquiring some loans and from participating in a restructuring of a loan or other similar instrument. Further, if a Guggenheim short-term fund, in combination with other accounts managed by the Investment Manager or its affiliates, acquires a large portion of a loan, the Guggenheim short-term fund’s valuation of its interests in the loan and the Guggenheim short-term fund’s ability to dispose of the loan at favorable times or prices may be adversely affected. The Guggenheim short-term funds are also subject to conflicts of interest that are described in more detail in the SAI.
Prepayment Risk — Certain debt instruments, including loans and mortgage- and other asset-backed securities, are subject to the risk that payments on principal may occur more quickly or earlier than expected (or an investment is converted or redeemed prior to maturity). For example, an issuer may exercise its right to redeem outstanding debt securities prior to their maturity (known as a “call”) or otherwise pay principal earlier than expected for a number of reasons (e.g., declining interest rates, changes in credit spreads and improvements in the issuer’s credit quality). If an issuer calls or “prepays” a security in which a Guggenheim short-term fund has invested, the Guggenheim short-term fund may not recoup the full amount of its initial investment and may be required to reinvest in generally lower-yielding securities, securities with greater credit risks or securities with other, less favorable features or terms than the security in which the Guggenheim short-term fund initially invested, thus potentially reducing the Guggenheim short-term fund’s yield. Loans and mortgage- and other asset-backed securities are particularly subject to prepayment risk, and offer less potential for gains, during periods of declining interest rates (or narrower spreads) as issuers of higher interest
PROSPECTUS | 59

rate debt instruments pay off debts earlier than expected. In addition, a Guggenheim short-term fund may lose any premiums paid to acquire the investment. Other factors, such as excess cash flows, may also contribute to prepayment risk.  Thus, changes in interest rates may cause volatility in the value of and income received from these types of debt instruments.
Variable or floating rate investments may be less vulnerable to prepayment risk. Most floating rate loans (such as syndicated bank loans) and fixed-income securities allow for prepayment of principal without penalty. Accordingly, the potential for the value of a floating rate loan or security to increase in response to interest rate declines is limited. Corporate loans or fixed-income securities purchased to replace a prepaid corporate loan or security may have lower yields than the yield on the prepaid corporate loan or security. Prepayments could also result in tax liability in certain instances
Investment in Investment Vehicles Risk — Investments in investment companies or other investment vehicles may include index-based unit investment trusts such as Standard & Poor’s Depositary Receipts or other index funds and securities of investment companies that are not index-based, including mutual funds, Guggenheim short-term funds or ETFs and other investment vehicles. Index-based investments sometimes hold substantially all of their assets in securities representing a specific index. A Fund may use index-based investments (including ETFs designed to track an index) as a way of managing its cash position, or to maintain liquidity while gaining exposure to the equity, commodities or fixed-income markets, or a particular sector of such markets, or to seek to avoid losses in declining market conditions. A Fund may invest in index-based investment vehicles for a variety of other reasons, including to obtain exposure to a specific asset class or investment strategy or to seek to enhance return or yield. In addition, an index-based investment vehicle in which a Fund invests may not replicate exactly the composition or performance of the index it seeks to track for a number of reasons, such as operating expenses, transaction costs and imperfect correlation of holdings relative to the index.
A Fund and its shareholders may incur its pro rata share of the expenses of the underlying investment companies or vehicles in which the Fund invests, such as investment advisory and other management expenses, and shareholders will incur the operating expenses of these investment vehicles. In addition, the Fund will be subject to those risks affecting the investment vehicle, including the effects of business and regulatory developments that affect an underlying investment company or vehicle or the investment company industry generally as well as the possibility that the value of the underlying securities held by the investment vehicle could decrease or the portfolio becomes illiquid. Shares of investment vehicles that trade on an exchange may trade at a discount or premium from their net asset value. The purchase of shares of some investment companies (such as ETFs) may require the payment of substantial premiums above the value of such companies’ portfolio securities or NAVs.
An underlying investment vehicle may buy the same securities that another underlying investment vehicle sells. If this happens, an investor in a Fund would indirectly bear the costs of these trades without accomplishing any investment purpose. In addition, certain of the underlying investment vehicles may hold common portfolio positions, thereby reducing the diversification benefits of an asset allocation style. The underlying investment vehicles may engage in investment strategies or invest in specific investments in which a Fund would not engage or invest directly. The performance of those underlying investment vehicles, in turn, depends upon the performance of the securities in which they invest.
The underlying investment companies or other investment vehicles in which a Fund invests are often institutional funds owned by a small number of shareholders and are thus also subject to the risk that shareholders redeem their shares rapidly, which may adversely affect the performance and liquidity of the underlying investment vehicles and the Fund.
Investments in other investment companies or investment vehicles may expose a Fund to financial leverage and, thus, expose the Fund to the risks associated with financial leverage (such as higher risk of volatility and magnified financial losses).
An investment by a Fund in ETFs or closed-end funds generally presents the same primary risks as an investment in a mutual fund. In addition, an investment in an ETF or a listed closed-end fund may be subject to additional risk, including: the shares may trade at a discount or premium relative to the net asset value of the shares; an active trading market may not develop for the shares; the listing exchange may halt trading of the fund’s shares; the fund may fail to correctly track the referenced asset (if any); and the fund may hold troubled securities in the referenced index or basket of investments.

Large-Capitalization Securities Risk — A Fund may be subject to the risk that large-capitalization securities may underperform other segments of the equity market or the equity market as a whole. Although the securities of larger companies may be less volatile than those of companies with smaller market capitalizations, larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges such as changes in technology and may not be able to attain the high growth rate of smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.
Leverage Risk — The use of derivatives (such as swaps, futures and options), reverse repurchase agreements, unfunded commitments, tender option bonds and borrowings may create leveraging risk. For example, because of the low margin deposits required, futures trading involves an extremely high degree of leverage. As a result, a relatively small price movement in a futures contract may result in an immediate and substantial impact on the net asset value of a Fund. Leveraging may cause a Fund to be more volatile and magnify a fund’s losses to an extent greater than if it had not been leveraged and may magnify losses. Applicable law limits each Fund from borrowing in an amount greater than 33 1/3% of its assets other than for temporary purposes.
The Funds are permitted to borrow money for certain purposes, and often do, to meet redemption requests without having to sell portfolio securities at a disadvantageous time and to facilitate portfolio management consistent with tracking a Fund’s index. To the extent that a Fund purchases securities while it has outstanding borrowings, it is using leverage, i.e., using borrowed funds for investment. Leveraging will exaggerate the effect on the NAV per share of a Fund of any increase or decrease in the market value of the Fund’s portfolio. Money borrowed for leveraging will be subject to interest and other costs that may or may not be recovered by appreciation of the securities purchased.
In addition, if a Fund borrows from a line of credit it will be subject to certain covenants that, if breached, may require the Fund to accelerate its indebtedness and sell portfolio securities or other assets when it otherwise would not do so. 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 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.
Real estate companies may use leverage (and some may be highly leveraged), which increases investment risk and the risks normally associated with debt financing and could adversely affect a real estate company’s operations and market value in periods of rising interest rates. Financial covenants related to a real e
