    Share Classes


    Legacy Security Funds
    Legacy Rydex Funds

    Rydex SGI offers its innovative funds in several different share classes. Multiple classes of shares represent ownership in the same pool of assets - the Fund. Each class within the Fund charges different fees in an effort to provide a variety of fee structures that fit varying needs for Registered Investment Advisors, Broker/Dealers and individual investors. The different fees charged by each Class account for the differences in daily NAVs.

     

    The following three share classes apply to these funds: All Cap Value, Alpha Opportunity, Large Cap Core, MSCI EAFE Equal Weight Fund, High Yield, Large-Cap Value, Mid-Cap Growth, Mid-Cap Value, Large Cap Concentrated Growth, Small Cap Growth, Small Cap Value, U.S. Intermediate Bond.

    Class A Shares - High Yield Fund & U.S. Intermediate Bond Fund
    Class A shares are subject to a sales charge at the time of purchase. An order for Class A shares will be priced at a Fund’s net asset value per share (NAV) next calculated after the order is received in good order and accepted by the Fund or an authorized financial intermediary, plus the sales charge set forth below. The NAV plus the sales charge is the “offering price.” A Fund’s NAV is generally calculated as of the close of trading on each day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time).

    Class B Shares
    Effective January 4, 2010, Class B shares were closed to new subscriptions from either existing or new shareholders. Automatic investments made after the closing of Class B shares will be re-directed to Class A shares, subject to any applicable sales charges and pricing breakpoints. Existing shareholders of Class B shares may continue to hold their Class B shares and exchange their Class B shares into other Class B shares of other Rydex SGI Funds until the shares are redeemed or automatically rolled into Class A shares (after 8 years). Class B shares will continue to be subject to distribution and service (12b-1) fees of 1.00% of average daily net assets. Shareholders who have chosen to reinvest their Class B shares’ dividends and capital gains may continue to reinvest such dividends and capital gains into Class B shares (“reinvestment shares”), and these reinvestment shares will be redeemed or rolled into Class A shares along with the Class B shares from which the dividend or capital gains were derived. Class B shares will continue to be subject to a deferred sales charge if redeemed within 5 years from the date of purchase. The deferred sales charge is a percentage of the NAV of the shares at the time they are redeemed or the original purchase price, whichever is less. Shares that are not subject to the deferred sales charge are redeemed first. Then, shares held the longest will be the first to be redeemed. The amount of the deferred sales charge is based upon the number of years since the shares were purchased, as follows:


    Number of Years Since Purchase

    Deferred
    Sales Charge

    1 5%
    2 4%
    3 3%
