Guggenheim Macro Opportunities Fund

The Guggenheim Macro Opportunities Fund (the "fund") employs a tactical strategy targeting strong total return regardless of the direction of the overall market. Unconstrained to a particular benchmark, the fund has the flexibility to invest across a broad array of fixed-income securities, as well as equities, currencies, commodities and alternative investments. The strategy employs active sector rotation, driven by rigorous macro-economic analysis, and fundamental, bottom-up security analysis to seek to capitalize on relative-value investment opportunities and drive returns.

Three Reasons to Consider the Fund

  1. Total Return Potential:The fund seeks to provide investors the opportunity for enhanced return potential independent of overall market direction, with the potential to outperform the broad fixed-income market.¹
  2. Tactical Flexibility: For investors seeking a fund with greater flexibility than a traditional, benchmark-constrained approach, the fundoffers exposure to our highest conviction ideas at a given time.
  3. Proactive Risk Management: The fund's flexible mandate also allows the investment team to adjust the portfolio's risk profile, providing the opportunity to position the fund more or less defensively in anticipation of changing market conditions while adhering to our rigorous, riskmanagement discipline.

Access to Our "Best Ideas"

The Macro Opportunities Fund seeks to capitalize on the investment team's "best ideas" through an opportunistic strategy that begins with top-down macro-economic research. This research drives investment themes and sector allocations, while bottom-up research-intensive security selection seeks to identify the most attractive opportunities within each theme, across a company's capitalization structure (bonds, stocks, convertibles, preferred shares, bank loans, etc.). The result is a portfolio that continually reflects our highestconviction ideas in the current market environment.


About Tactical Asset Allocation

Macro strategies typically employ tactical asset allocation, a portfolio management strategy that seeks to take advantage of changing market conditions by overweighting or underweighting market segments based on their expected performance, shifting allocations as market conditions change. As this chart shows, asset classes and regions perform differently over time, providing opportunities to capitalize on tactical portfolio asset allocation.

What Sets Us Apart?

Guggenheim Investments brings extensive experience in the global credit markets managing a wide range of fixed-income strategies. We have built a reputation for investment excellence in this arena, which we believe is attributable to our differentiated capabilities:

Broad Expertise
Guggenheim Investments' fixed-income teams bring expertise up and down the capital structure—ranging from government and corporate credit to preferreds and bank loans.

Middle-Market Specialization

We specialize in identifying, researching and purchasing middlemarket investments—securities issued by companies with less than $1 billion in outstanding debt—which we believe are often overlooked and underfollowed and may offer potentially higher yields than the debt of larger companies.

Proprietary Research and Analysis

More than 100 investment professionals are dedicated to research, evaluation and management of fixed-income assets. In addition, our 14-person, in-house legal team reviews covenants, credit agreements and bond indentures to evaluate the protections and rights of each security prior to purchase.

Embedded Risk Management
Our risk-management process seeks to understand and mitigate unwanted risk at every stage of the investment process. It includes in-depth credit research at the front end of the process, pre-trade and post-trade checks that incorporate investment guidelines, and ongoing monitoring of information that could affect the portfolio.

What Role Could the Fund Play in a Portfolio?

  • The fund may represent a portion of an overall fixed-income allocation, serving as a potential source of additional risk-adjusted return.
  • Given its differentiating features—active sector management and the ability to invest in non-fixed-income assets—the fund may serve as a complement to benchmark dedicated fixed-income strategies and a diversifier for stock portfolios.²
  • For investors pursuing an active sector rotation strategy though various individual investment vehicles, the fund may be a costefficient investment alternative.

² Diversification neither assures a profit nor eliminates the risk of experiencing investment losses.

This fund may not be suitable for all investors. • The fund's market value will change in response to interest rate changes and market conditions among other factors. In general, bond prices rise when interest rates fall and vice versa. • The fund's exposure to high yield securities may subject the fund to greater volatility. • The intrinsic value of the underlying stocks in which the fund invests may never be realized or the stock may decline in value. • When market conditions are deemed appropriate, the fund will leverage to the full extent permitted by its investment policies and restrictions and applicable law. Leveraging will exaggerate the effect on net asset value of any increase or decrease in the market value of the fund's portfolio. • The fund may invest in derivative instruments, which may be more volatile and less liquid, increasing the risk of loss when compared to traditional securities. Certain of the derivative instruments are also subject to the risks of counterparty default and adverse tax treatment. • Instruments and strategies (such as borrowing transactions and reverse repurchase agreements) may provide leveraged exposure to a particular investment, which will magnify any gains or losses on those investments. • Investments in reverse repurchase agreements expose the fund to the many of the same risks as investments in derivatives. • The fund's investments in other investment vehicles subject the fund to those risks and expenses affecting the investment vehicle. • The fund's investments in foreign securities carry additional risks when compared to U.S. securities, due to the impact of diplomatic, political or economic developments in the country in question (investments in emerging markets securities are generally subject to an even greater level of risks). • Investments in syndicated bank loans generally offer a floating interest rate and involve special types of risks. • A highly liquid secondary market may not exist for the commodity-linked structured notes the fund invests in, and there can be no assurance that a highly liquid secondary market will develop. • The fund's exposure to the commodity markets may subject the fund to greater volatility as commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. • The fund's investments in municipal securities can be affected by events that affect the municipal bond market. • The fund's investments in real estate securities subject the fund to the same risks as direct investments in real estate, which is particularly sensitive to economic downturns. • The fund's investments in restricted securities may involve financial and liquidity risk. • You may have a gain or loss when you sell your shares. • It is important to note that the fund is not guaranteed by the U.S. government.
