Chart Description:

The chart above provides information about the difference between the daily market closing price for shares of the Fund and the Fund’s net asset value (NAV). The chart’s vertical axis shows the premium or discount expressed as a percentage of NAV. The horizontal axis indicates the number of trading days in the period covered by the chart. Each bar in the chart shows the number of trading days in which the Fund traded within the premium/discount range indicated.

Why is there a difference between NAV and Market Close?

The NAV represents the fund’s assets less its liabilities on a per share basis as calculated by the fund’s administrator. The Market Close is the price of the last trade executed on the listing exchange during that day’s trading session.

As a practical matter, information is constantly flowing to and among investors, corporations, and financial institutions that affects their outlook on the financial markets and the value of securities. This process, known as price discovery, is why market prices change and evolve throughout the trading day. It is important to note that even when markets are closed, the price discovery process continues 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Reasons for Possible Timing Discrepancies:

1. Closing of Trading Times: The NAV of the RydexShares ETFs normally is calculated using prices as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Each RydexShares ETF normally trades on its respective stock exchange until 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
2. Time of Last Trade: Trading generally takes place throughout the normal trading hours for RydexShares ETFs on the listing exchange on which it is listed (generally 9:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time). At times, many trades are placed in rapid succession. At other intervals, little or no trading activity may take place. It is important to note that the date/time of the last trade (which is recorded as the Market Close) may not take place at exactly 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time when the RydexShares ETFs normally calculate NAV. The date/time of the last trade sometimes may occur before 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Thus, ongoing price discovery may result in a deviation between the price recorded as the Closing Price and the NAV of the fund shares calculated at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.



Performance displayed represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that when shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less than original cost. Total returns reflect the reinvestment of all dividends. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. For up-to-date fund performance, including performance current to the most recent month-end, please visit our web site at www.rydex-sgi.com. For additional information, please see the fund’s prospectus. Returns for performance under one year are cumulative, not annualized. Performance results for periods under one year are short-term and may not provide an adequate basis for evaluating the performance potential of the fund over varying market conditions or economic cycles.

ETFs may not be suitable for all investors. Investment in the ETFs may be affected by risks that include those associated with sector concentration, international investing, investing in large, medium, or small size companies, and/or the funds' possible use of investment techniques such as leverage, derivatives and short sales of securities. These funds are considered nondiversified and can invest a greater portion of their assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single security could cause greater fluctuations in the value of fund shares than would occur in a more diversified fund. Please see a prospectus for more information.
