QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

For your convenience, the following “Questions and Answers” are a summary of, and are not intended to be as detailed as, the discussion found in the accompanying Joint Proxy Statement for Special Joint Meeting of Shareholders (the “Joint Proxy Statement”). The information in this “Questions and Answers” section is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Joint Proxy Statement. We encourage you to carefully review the information contained in the Joint Proxy Statement.

General

Q.    Why am I receiving these proxy materials?

A.You are receiving these proxy materials — materials—a booklet that includes the Notice of Special Joint Meeting of Shareholders (the “Notice”), the Joint Proxy Statement and your voting instruction card — proxy card—because you are among those who own a variable annuity contracthave the right to notice of, and to vote on, an important matter concerning the governance of one or a variable life insurance policy (each, a “Contract”) issued by the insurance companies that offer the Global Diversified Equity Fund, Growth and Income Fund and/or Global Growth Fundmore series (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) as underlying investment options (the “Participating Insurance Companies”)of Rydex Series Funds, Rydex Dynamic Funds, and have allocated a portion of your contract value to one or more of the FundsRydex Variable Trust (each, a “Contract Owner”“Trust” and collectively, the “Trusts”). As a Contract Owner,In particular, you have the right to instruct the Participating Insurance Company that issued your Contract as to how shares of the Fund or Funds attributable to your Contract should be voted at a special meeting of shareholders of the Funds scheduled to be held on February 21, 2017 (and any postponements or adjournments thereof) (the “Meeting”). You are being asked to approve a plan of liquidation (the “Plan of Liquidation”) to liquidateconsider and act upon the Funds (the “Liquidation Proposal”)Proposal (defined below), as described below and in the enclosed Proxy Statement.which requires shareholder approval.

The Participating Insurance Companies will furnish this Proxy StatementFunds and the other funds advised by the investment advisers to the Contract Owners participating in their separate accounts that have allocated a portion of their contract values to one or more of the Funds (i.e., Contract Owners that indirectly own shares of the Funds to be voted at the Meeting), and will solicit voting instructions from those Contract Owners. For ease of reference, throughout this Questions and Answers section, Contract Owners are also referred to as “shareholders” of the Funds and their affiliates (collectively, the “Guggenheim Family of Funds”) are currently overseen by two separate groups of trustees. One of these groups consists of the current Trustees of the Trusts (referred to hereafter collectively as the “Rydex Trustees” or individually, a voting instruction“Rydex Trustee”). The other group consists of members of the boards of trustees of certain other open-end registered management investment companies, like the Funds, in the Guggenheim Family of Funds (collectively, the “Guggenheim Funds”) managed by Security Investors, LLC, the Funds’ investment adviser, or its affiliate, Guggenheim Partners Investment Management LLC.

The Board of Trustees of each Trust (collectively, the “Rydex Board”) and the boards of trustees of other funds in the Guggenheim Family of Funds, including the Guggenheim Funds (collectively, the “Guggenheim Board”), separately determined that it is referredin the best interests of the funds in the Guggenheim Family of Funds overseen by such boards to align and consolidate the membership of the boards so that all of the funds in the Guggenheim Family of Funds are overseen by the same trustees. Accordingly, the Rydex Board has proposed the election of ten nominees to the Rydex Board (the “Proposal”). Three of the nominees currently serve as Rydex Trustees. Seven of the nominees currently serve as members of the Guggenheim Board (referred to hereafter collectively as the “Guggenheim Trustees” or individually, a “vote.”“Guggenheim Trustee”).

The Rydex Board believes that this alignment and consolidation of the boards through the election of all of the nominees would be beneficial to the Funds and their shareholders.

Q.Why am I being asked to vote?

applicable Trust.

The Plan of Liquidation

Q.    Why is the Board recommending approval of the Plan of Liquidation?

A.As described in the enclosed Proxy Statement, the Board determined that approval of the Plan of Liquidation was in the best interests of shareholders based on a number of factors deemed by the Board to be appropriate, including each Fund’s (i) current and historical asset size; (ii) current and historical investment performance; and (iii) distribution and growth prospects. The Board also considered the investment adviser’s recommendation that the Board approve the liquidation of the

Please see the section entitled “Reasons for the Proposed Liquidation” for a more detailed summaryProposal (the election of the Board’s considerations in making its recommendation.each nominee).

Q.What areWhy am I being asked to elect each of the tax implications and potential costs associated with the Plan of Liquidation?nominees as Trustees?

A.Each of the nominees either currently serves as a Guggenheim Trustee or a Rydex Trustee. The liquidationelection of the nominees is part of the intended alignment and transferconsolidation of contract values in connectionthe membership of the Guggenheim Board with the Liquidationmembership of the Rydex Board. If shareholders approve the election of all of the nominees, the Rydex Board’s membership will be expanded to include the seven nominees who do not currently serve as Rydex Trustees. Each nominee (other than Ms. Amy J. Lee) would not be deemed to be an “interested person,” as that term is defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, of the Trusts. Ms. Lee would be considered an “interested person” of each Trust by virtue of her role with the Funds’ investment adviser and its affiliates (collectively referred to as “Guggenheim Investments”).




Election of all of the nominees will align the membership of the boards of trustees of the Guggenheim Family of Funds. This alignment and consolidation would address immediate trustee succession needs, provide the opportunity to further streamline and enhance the effectiveness of board oversight and result in other potential benefits, including the potential for economies of scale for Fund shareholders as certain costs are spread over a larger asset base, as described in the accompanying Joint Proxy Statement.

Please note that separate proxy statements are being sent to shareholders of other funds in the Guggenheim Family of Funds, including the Guggenheim Funds, who are also being asked to vote on the election of the same slate of nominees to the boards of their respective funds. If you owned shares of other funds in the Guggenheim Family of Funds as of the applicable record date, you will receive separate proxy materials with respect to this proposal as it relates to such funds. Please review these materials and separately vote on the proposal for the other funds in the Guggenheim Family of Funds.

Q.Why has the Rydex Board approved the Proposal will not create a U.S. federal income tax liability for Contract Owners, subject to(the election of each nominee)?

A.Guggenheim Investments recommended that the continued compliance throughRydex Board approve the Liquidation Date or transferproposal (the election of contract valueseach nominee) after considering the potential benefits of bothaligning and consolidating the membership of the boards of trustees of the Guggenheim Family of Funds, the immediate governance succession needs of the Rydex Board and the Participating Insurance Companies withlonger-term governance succession needs of the applicable U.S. federal income tax rules governing such arrangements.Guggenheim Board.

The investment adviser will bear the costsproposed consolidated board consists of the legalGuggenheim Board and accounting expenses associatedcertain current Rydex Trustees and is part of a broader effort to enhance the effectiveness of board oversight of the Guggenheim Family of Funds.

The Rydex Board believes that the addition of well-qualified individuals to the Rydex Board who bring experience with other funds within the proposed liquidationGuggenheim Family of Funds would enhance board oversight, while addressing immediate trustee governance succession needs. The Rydex Board also believes that the board combination offers other potential benefits to Fund shareholders from efficiencies and economies of scale as certain fixed costs are spread over a larger asset base.

The Rydex Board took into account Guggenheim Investments’ recommendation and the foregoing considerations, as well as the proxy solicitation costs, which are estimatedbroader initiative to be approximately $9,190.

THE LIQUIDATION PROPOSAL
APPROVAL OF A PLAN OF LIQUIDATIONThe Rydex Board is currently composed of five Trustees (collectively, the “Rydex Trustees” or each, a “Rydex Trustee”): Angela Brock-Kyle, Corey A. Colehour, J. Kenneth Dalton, Thomas F. Lydon, Jr., and Sandra G. Sponem. Three of the Nominees are Rydex Trustees: Angela Brock-Kyle, Thomas F. Lydon, Jr. and Sandra G. Sponem (collectively, the “Rydex Nominees”). Seven of the Nominees are not Rydex Trustees (referred to herein as the “Guggenheim Nominees”)—Randall C. Barnes, Donald A. Chubb, Jr., Jerry B. Farley, Roman Friedrich III, Ronald A. Nyberg, Ronald E. Toupin, Jr., and Amy J. Lee—but currently serve as members of the boards of trustees of certain other funds (collectively, the “Guggenheim Funds”) in the Guggenheim Family of Funds (collectively, the Guggenheim Board,” with the members of the Guggenheim Board referred to individually as a “Guggenheim Trustee” and collectively, the “Guggenheim Trustees), as explained below.

BackgroundEach Nominee, other than Ms. Lee, would not be deemed to be an “interested person,” as that term is defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), of the Trusts (an “Independent Trustee”). Ms. Lee would be considered an “interested person” of each Trust by virtue of her role with the Funds’ investment adviser and its affiliates (collectively referred to as “Guggenheim Investments”). Of the Rydex Nominees, only Mr. Lydon has previously been elected by shareholders. If elected, the Guggenheim Nominees are expected to assume office immediately following the meeting of the Rydex Board currently scheduled to be held in November 2019, or at such later date following election by shareholders, and would serve during the lifetime of the Trusts or until he or she dies, resigns, has reached the mandatory retirement age, is declared incompetent by a court of appropriate jurisdiction, is removed, or until his or her successors are duly elected and qualified.

AtFollowing discussions with Guggenheim Investments over the past several months and meetings of the Governance and Nominating Committees of the Rydex Board (collectively, the “Governance and Nominating Committee”) with each of the Guggenheim Nominees, the Governance and Nominating Committee selected and recommended, and the Rydex Board unanimously nominated, the Nominees for election as Rydex Trustees at a meeting of the Rydex Board held on November 17, 2016,August 19, 2019. The Rydex Board also determined to increase the Board considered and approved a proposal to liquidate the Funds pursuant to a plan of liquidation (the “Plan of Liquidation”), subject to approval by shareholders of each Fund. The Board based its approval on a number of factors, which are summarized below, including the recommendation of Security Investors, LLC (the “Advisor”), the investment advisersize of the Funds.Rydex Board to accommodate each Nominee.

The discussion
Explanation of the Plan of Liquidation in this Proxy Statement is a brief summaryBoard Alignment and Consolidation

The funds that are part of the principal termsGuggenheim Family of Funds currently are overseen by separate groups of trustees. One of these groups consists of the PlanRydex Trustees. The other group consists of Liquidation,the Guggenheim Trustees. The Guggenheim Family of Funds consists of U.S. registered investment companies advised by the Funds’ investment adviser or its affiliates and is comprised of 6 closed-end funds and 151 open-end funds.

As further explained below, the election of all of the Nominees will align and consolidate the membership of the boards of trustees of the Guggenheim Family of Funds such that all of the funds in the Guggenheim Family of Funds are overseen by the same group of trustees. This alignment and consolidation would address immediate trustee succession needs, provide the opportunity to further streamline and enhance the effectiveness of board oversight and result in other potential benefits, including the potential for economies of scale for Fund shareholders as certain costs are spread over a formlarger asset base.

The Rydex Board and the Guggenheim Board separately determined that it is in the best interests of which is attached hereto as Appendix A. The Planthe funds in the Guggenheim Family of Liquidation will become effective with respectFunds overseen by such boards to align and consolidate the membership of the boards so that all of the funds in the Guggenheim Family of Funds are overseen by the same trustees. Separate proxy statements are being sent to shareholders of the other funds in the Guggenheim Family of Funds who are also being asked to vote on the election of the same slate of nominees to the boards of the respective funds.

Summary of the Reasons for the Board Alignment and Consolidation

Many of the funds in the Guggenheim Family of Funds upon approvalwere organized at different times by shareholders (ordifferent sponsors, and, as soon as practicable thereafter),a result, their governance and board reporting processes do not yet fully reflect a common

3




overall design. Proposal 1 is the result of an effort on the part of the Guggenheim Board, the Rydex Board and Guggenheim Investments to align and consolidate the membership of the boards so that the same trustees serve on each board for the Guggenheim Family of Funds, in connection with Guggenheim Investments’ broader initiative to enhance the liquidationeffectiveness of board oversight. Over the past several months, representatives of the Rydex Board met with representatives of the Guggenheim Board and with Guggenheim Investments to consider and develop the proposal to align and consolidate the membership of the boards. The Independent Trustees also met with their independent legal counsel to consider and discuss matters relating to the alignment and consolidation of the boards.

The Rydex Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Funds to occur on or about February 24, 2017 (the “Liquidation Date”). Priorelect each of the Nominees, thereby creating an aligned, consolidated board that the Rydex Trustees believe would benefit the Funds because, among other reasons, the increased size, diversity, skill sets, backgrounds and depth of experience of the aligned and consolidated board would allow the proposed consolidated board to better respond to the Liquidation Date, eachincreasing complexities of the registered fund business. It also provides the opportunity to address succession issues associated with Trustee retirements, both in the near term and thereafter. The Rydex Board further believes that it is in Fund will engage in business and activities forshareholders’ best interests to have a board that is, to the purposesextent possible, composed of winding down its stated business and affairs, which will cause the Fund to increase its cash holdings and deviate from its investment objective, investment strategies, and investment policies.elected Trustees.

SubjectThe Rydex Board also considered that the board alignment and consolidation proposal is part of a broader effort to approvalalign and enhance the efficiency of the Liquidation Proposal by shareholders,governance of the Funds would be eliminated as an investment option underand the Contracts. As described below, if you do not transfer your contract value allocated toother funds in the applicable Fund or Funds to another investment option available under your Contract byGuggenheim Family of Funds. In reaching the Liquidation Date, or if you do not provide transfer instructions to the Participating Insurance Company that issued your Contract prior to the Liquidation Date, the Trust has been informedconclusion that the Participating Insurance Company will transfer the liquidation proceeds related to your contract value allocated to the applicable Fund or Funds to a default investment option selected by the Participating Insurance Company, as identified under “Default Investment Optionsboard alignment and Transfer Rights” below.

Reasons for the Proposed Liquidation

At a meeting held on November 17, 2016, the Board considered whether it would be appropriate andconsolidation is in the best interests of the Funds and their respective shareholders, to liquidate the Funds. After carefully considering information that it believed to be reasonably necessary to reach its conclusion, the Board unanimously approvedof each Trust considered a number of factors, including the liquidationfollowing:

the potential for greater Board oversight efficiencies, including consistent and uniform oversight of common matters and processes across the Guggenheim Family of Funds;

the likely benefits of holding joint board and committee meetings and creating a uniform committee structure, as well as a single set of committee charters and board and committee policies and processes;

certain governance and other costs would be spread over a larger asset base, which could lead to reduced costs experienced by individual funds in the Guggenheim Family of Funds over time;

Guggenheim Investments and officers of the funds in the Guggenheim Family of Funds could focus greater resources and time on matters that more directly benefit shareholders, such as new product initiatives, distribution opportunities, fund services and other matters;

greater uniformity of shareholder experiences throughout the Guggenheim Family of Funds; and

a consolidated board is consistent with common industry practices.

Members of the Governance and Nominating Committee (which is comprised solely of Independent Trustees) met with each of Randall C. Barnes, Donald A. Chubb, Jr., Jerry B. Farley, Roman Friedrich III, Ronald A. Nyberg, Ronald E. Toupin, Jr., and Amy J. Lee prior to his or her nomination to the Rydex Board, and the Committee considered each Nominee, including his or her qualifications and experience, and recommended each Nominee’s nomination to the Rydex Board. Based on this recommendation, the Rydex Board has recommended for election by shareholders each of the Nominees to the Rydex Board.

Likewise, the Guggenheim Board also has recommended for election by shareholders each of Angela Brock-Kyle, Thomas F. Lydon, Jr., and Sandra G. Sponem (in addition to Ms. Lee and Messrs. Barnes, Chubb, Farley, Friedrich, Nyberg, and Toupin) to serve on the Guggenheim Board, subject to approval by shareholders of the applicable Guggenheim Funds trust. In addition to the Funds and the Plan of Liquidation, as well as the submission of the Plan of Liquidation to Fund shareholders for approval. In evaluating the proposed liquidation of theGuggenheim Funds, the Board considered information provided by the Advisor and other related considerations, including information regarding each Fund’s (i) current and historical asset size, (ii) current and historical investment performance; and (iii) distribution and growth prospects. The Board also considered that the Funds were established in partnership with CLS Investments, LLC (“CLS”), which recently notified the Advisor that it was no longer interested in serving as the investment sub-adviser to the Funds. In this connection, the Board further considered the likelihood that current shareholders of the Funds, the majority of which are CLS advisory clients, would redeem their interests in the Funds in favor of other CLS-advised products. The Board also noted the Funds distribution prospects with a significantly smaller asset base and the probability that the Funds would have limited success attracting new assets and sufficient market interest in the near future. In addition, the Board considered, among other things: (i) the transfer rights of shareholders, as described in this Proxy Statement; (ii) alternatives to liquidation, such as a merger or a transfer of assets, and the Advisor’s recommendation that the Board approve the liquidation of the Funds; and (iii) the liquidation (and transfers of contract values) should not be a taxable event to shareholders. The Board also took into

3



account that pursuant to the proposed Plan of Liquidation, the Advisor would bear certain expenses associated with the liquidation of the Funds as explained under the section entitled “Cost of the Solicitation/Liquidation” below.

Accordingly, in light of all of the facts and circumstances and in the exercise of its business judgment, the Board unanimously approved the submission of the Plan of Liquidation to shareholders for their approval and determined that liquidating the Funds would be in the best interests of the Funds and their respective shareholders. The Board recommends that shareholders approve the Plan of Liquidation.

Although shareholder approval is not necessary to liquidate the Funds under the Trust’s organizational documents, shareholder approval of the Plan of Liquidation is solicited to meet applicable regulatory requirements with respect to the transfer of contract values allocated to the Funds to another investment option available under the Contracts.

Plan of Liquidation

If the Plan of Liquidation is approved by shareholders, the Funds will liquidate in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan of Liquidation. The liquidation of each Fund will involve, among other things, (i) the cessation of the Fund’s business, which will include departing from its stated investment objective, strategies and policies as it prepares to distribute its remaining assets to shareholders, (ii) converting the Fund’s portfolio securities and other assets into cash, cash equivalents or other liquid assets, (iii) payment of its known and reasonably ascertainable debts, (iv) the distribution of a liquidating distribution of the Fund’s remaining assets in cash, in-kind or a combination of both, ratably according to the number of shares of each shareholder as of the close of business on the Liquidation Date, and (v) otherwise winding-up the Fund’s business and affairs. Until such time as the Funds are liquidated, each Fund will continue to pay its contractual fees and operating expenses, subject to its current expense limitation agreement.

If the Plan of Liquidation is not approved, the Board will consider other actions that may be taken with respect to the Funds, including, without limitation, potentially a merger or a transfer of assets or the repositioning of the Funds’ principal investment strategies.

The Plan of Liquidation is not expected to affect the value of your interest in your Contract, although shareholders may bear increased transaction costs incurred in connection with the disposition of the Funds’ portfolio securities and other assets.

Default Investment Options and Transfer Rights. As soon as practicable on or after the Liquidation Date, each Fund will send to the applicable Participating Insurance Companies, on behalf of a shareholder who has not yet transferred his or her contract value, liquidation proceeds equal to the shareholder’s proportionate interest in the remaining assets of the Fund. The liquidation proceeds will be reinvested by the Participating Insurance Companies on behalf of the Contract Owners in an alternative investment option available under their Contract pursuant to instructions received from the Contract Owner. The Trust has been informed that, if no voting instructions are received, the proceeds will be reinvested on behalf of the Contract Owner in a default investment option until other instructions are received, as follows:

If you are a participant in a registered group annuity contract or you hold an individual variable annuity contract issued by First Security Benefit Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York or by Security Benefit Life Insurance Company, your contract value will be reinvested in the Rydex Variable Trust - U.S. Government Money Market Fund or AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco
open-

4




Variable Insurance Funds) - Invesco V.I. Government Money Marketend and closed-end funds comprising the Guggenheim Family of Funds have also recommended the trustee nominees for election to further effect the board consolidation.

Each Nominee has consented to serve as a Rydex Trustee, if elected, and to be named in this Joint Proxy Statement. There is no reason to believe that the Nominees will become unavailable for election as a Rydex Trustee, but if that should occur before the Meeting, votes will be cast for the persons the Governance and Nominating Committee and the Rydex Board recommend.

The term of office of each Rydex Trustee, if elected at this Meeting, terminates when he or she dies, resigns, has reached the mandatory retirement age, is declared incompetent by a court of appropriate jurisdiction, is removed, or until his or her successors are duly elected and qualified.

Additional Information About the Rydex Board and the Nominees

The following includes additional information about the current structure of the Rydex Board as well as its leadership, functioning and composition. The Guggenheim Board, members of which would be aligned and consolidated with the identified members of the Rydex Board, do not have identical practices. If the board alignment and consolidation is implemented, the Rydex Trustees will consider during an upcoming meeting whether any changes to current governance and oversight practices would be appropriate to further enhance existing practices and integrate the Nominees who are not currently Rydex Trustees, based on the skills of the Trustees and the interests of the Funds and their shareholders.

Board Meetings

The Rydex Board is responsible for overseeing the management and affairs of the Funds. The Rydex Board held four regular meetings and no special meetings during each Trust’s most recent fiscal year (which ended December 31, 2018, or March 31, 2019, as applicable). Each Rydex Trustee then in office attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of the Rydex Board and the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Rydex Board on which the Rydex Trustee served. The Rydex Board has established the committees discussed below. If elected, the Nominees who are not currently Rydex Trustees would be expected to join the committees, and the Rydex Board would consider potential changes to its practices, committee structures and committee charters in light of the board alignment and consolidation.

Board Leadership Structure

The Rydex Board has appointed an Independent Chairperson, Ms. Sponem, who presides at board meetings and who is responsible for, among other things, participating in the planning of board meetings, setting the tone of board meetings and seeking to encourage open dialogue and independent inquiry among the Rydex Trustees and management. In addition, the Independent Chairperson acts as a liaison with officers, counsel and other Rydex Trustees between meetings of the Rydex Board. The Independent Chairperson also may perform such other functions as may be delegated by the Rydex Board from time to time. The Rydex Board established two standing committees (as described below) and has delegated certain responsibilities to those committees, each of which is comprised solely of Independent Trustees. The Rydex Board and its committees meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the Funds’ activities, review contractual arrangements with service providers, review the Funds’ financial statements, oversee compliance with regulatory requirements and review performance. The Rydex Board also may establish informal working groups from time to time to review and address the policies and practices of the Trusts or the Rydex Board with respect to certain specified matters. The Independent Trustees are advised by independent legal counsel experienced in 1940 Act matters and are represented by such independent legal counsel at board and committee meetings. The Rydex Board has determined that this leadership structure, including an Independent Chairperson, a supermajority of Independent Trustees and committee membership limited to Independent Trustees, is appropriate in light of the characteristics and circumstances of the Trusts.

Board Committees

Audit Committee—Mses. Brock-Kyle and Sponem, and Messrs. Colehour, Dalton, and Lydon, each an Independent Trustee, serve on the Audit Committee of the Rydex Board (the “Audit Committee”). The Audit Committee is generally responsible for certain oversight matters, such as reviewing the Trusts’ systems for accounting, financial reporting and internal controls and, as appropriate, the internal controls of certain service providers, overseeing the integrity of the Trusts’ financial statements (and the audit thereof), as well as the qualifications, independence and performance of the Trusts’ independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee is also responsible for recommending to the Rydex Board the appointment, retention and termination of the Trusts’ independent registered public accounting firm and acting as a liaison between the Rydex Board and the corresponding Trust’s independent registered public

10




accounting firm. The Audit Committee held four meetings during the Trusts’ most recently completed fiscal year.
Governance and Nominating Committee—Mses. Brock-Kyle and Sponem, and Messrs. Colehour, Dalton, and Lydon, each an Independent Trustee, serve on the Governance and Nominating Committee. The purpose of the Governance and Nominating Committee is to review matters and make recommendations to the Rydex Board pertaining to the composition, committees and operations of the Rydex Board, including Independent Trustee compensation and expense reimbursement. The Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for recommending qualified candidates to the Rydex Board in the event that a position is vacated or created. The Governance and Nominating Committee would consider recommendations by shareholders if a vacancy were to exist and shall assess shareholder recommendations in the same manner as it reviews its own candidates. Such recommendations should be submitted to the Secretary of the applicable Trust. The Trusts do not have a standing compensation committee. The Governance and Nominating Committee held three meetings during the Trusts’ most recently completed fiscal years. Additional information regarding the Governance and Nominating Committee may be found in the charter of the Governance and Nominating Committee, which may be found in Appendix A.

Board Consideration of Each Nominee’s Qualifications, Experience, Attributes and Skills

As set forth in Appendix A, the charter of the Governance and Nominating Committee tasks the Committee with periodically reviewing the size and composition of the Rydex Board and making recommendations to the Rydex Board concerning the need to increase or decrease the size of the Rydex Board, or to add individuals with varying professional and social backgrounds or skill sets to provide a mix of knowledge, experience and cultural backgrounds as determined by the Rydex Board to be appropriate and desirable. The Committee has not set minimum qualifications for trustee candidates, and generally considers a variety of factors in considering trustee candidates, including, but not limited to: (i) availability and commitment of a candidate to attend meetings and perform his or her responsibilities on a Board; (ii) relevant industry and related experience; (iii) educational background; (iv) financial expertise; (v) an assessment of the candidate’s ability, judgment and expertise; and (v) overall diversity of a Board’s composition.

The Governance and Nominating Committee does not currently have specific procedures in place to consider nominees recommended by Fund (Series II shares)shareholders, but would consider such nominees if submitted in accordance with Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in conjunction with a shareholder meeting to consider the election of Trustees. The Rydex Board believes that such specific procedures are unnecessary, as the Governance and Nominating Committee would consider and assess recommendations by shareholders, if a vacancy were to exist, in the same manner as it reviews its own candidates.

The following is a summary of each Nominee’s qualifications, experience, attributes and skills considered by the Governance and Nominating Committee and that, on an individual basis and in combination with those of the other Nominees, served as a basis for the Rydex Board’s conclusion that each Nominee is qualified to serve (or continue to serve, as applicable) as Trustee. The Governance and Nominating Committee considered the factors as its members deemed relevant to evaluating the Nominees and considering whether each Nominee possesses the requisite skills and attributes to carry out the applicable oversight responsibilities with respect to the Funds, including, as applicable, their positions as members of the Rydex Board or other trusts in the Guggenheim Family of Funds, their business and professional background and their knowledge of the Guggenheim Family of Funds and the various service providers to such funds. The Nominees have varied experiences, attributes and skills that may be utilized in overseeing the operations of the Funds, including the Funds’ performance and service providers. Generally, no one factor was decisive or controlling in the selection of an individual as a Nominee.

The liquidation and transfer of contract values in connectionhas oversight responsibility with the Liquidation Proposal will not create a U.S. federal income tax liability for Contract Owners, subjectrespect to the continued compliance through the Liquidation Date or transfer of contract values of bothrisk management functions performed by those service providers. Risks to the Funds and the Participating Insurance CompaniesTrusts include, among others, investment risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, valuation risk, compliance risk and operational risk, as well as the overall business risk relating to the Funds. Risk management seeks to identify and mitigate the potential effects of risks, i.e., events or circumstances that could have material adverse effects on the business, operations, investment performance or reputation of the Funds. Under the oversight of the Rydex Board, the service providers to the Funds employ a variety of processes, procedures and controls to seek to identify risks relevant to the operations of the Funds and to lessen the probability of the occurrence of such risks and/or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur. Each service provider is responsible for one or more discrete aspects of the Funds’ business and consequently, for managing risks associated with that activity. Each of the Funds’ investment adviser, distributor and other service providers has its own independent interest in risk management, and its policies and methods of carrying out risk management functions will depend, in part, on its analysis of the risks, functions and business models. Accordingly, Board oversight of different types of risks may be handled in different ways. As part of the Rydex Board’s periodic review of each Fund’s advisory and other service provider agreements, the Rydex Board may consider risk management aspects of the service providers’ operations and the functions for which they are responsible.

The Rydex Board oversees risk management for the Funds directly and through the committee structure the Rydex Board has established. The Rydex Board has established the Audit Committee and the Governance and Nominating Committee to assist in its oversight functions, including its oversight of the risks each Fund faces. For instance, the Audit Committee receives reports from the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm on internal control and financial reporting matters. Each committee reports its activities to the Rydex Board on a regular basis. The Rydex Board also oversees the risk management of the Funds’ operations by requesting periodic reports from and otherwise communicating with various personnel of the Trusts and their service providers, including, in particular, the Trusts’ Chief Compliance Officer and independent registered public accounting firm and internal auditors for the Funds’ investment adviser or its affiliates, as applicable. In this connection, the Rydex Board requires officers of the Trusts to report to the full Rydex Board on a variety of matters at regular and special meetings of the Rydex Board and its committees, as applicable, including matters relating to risk management. On at least a quarterly basis, the Rydex Board meets with the Trusts’ Chief Compliance Officer, including separate meetings with the Independent Trustees in executive session, to discuss compliance matters and, on at least an annual basis, receive a report from the Chief Compliance Officer regarding the adequacy of the policies and procedures of the Trusts and certain service providers and the effectiveness of their implementation. The Rydex Board, with the assistance of Trust management, reviews investment policies and risks in connection with its review of the Funds’ performance. In addition, the Rydex Board receives reports from the Funds’ investment adviser on the investments and securities trading of the Funds. The Rydex Board has approved Fair Valuation procedures applicable U.S. federal income tax rules governing such arrangements.to valuing the Funds’ securities and other assets, which the Audit Committee periodically reviews. The Rydex Board also requires the investment adviser to each Fund to report to the Rydex Board on other matters relating to risk management on a regular and as-needed basis.

The Rydex Board oversees the Funds’ liquidity risks through, among other things, receiving periodic reporting and presentations by investment and other personnel of the Funds’ investment adviser. Additionally, as required by Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Trusts implemented a liquidity risk management program (the “Liquidity Program”), which is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Funds’ liquidity risks. The Rydex Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the designation of a liquidity risk management program administrator (the “Liquidity Program Administrator”), who is responsible for administering the Liquidity Program. The Rydex Board reviews, no less frequently than annually, a written report prepared by the Liquidity Program Administrator that addresses the operation of the Liquidity Program and assesses its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation.

The Rydex Board recognizes that not all risks that may affect the Funds can be identified, that it may not be practical or cost-effective to eliminate or mitigate certain risks, that it may be necessary to bear certain risks (such as investment-related risks) to seek to achieve the Funds’ investment objectives, and that the processes, procedures and controls employed to address certain risks may be limited in their effectiveness.

16




As part of its oversight function, the Rydex Board receives and reviews various risk management reports and assessments and discuss these matters with appropriate management and other personnel. Moreover, despite the periodic reports the Rydex Board receives, the Rydex Board may not be made aware of all of the relevant information of a particular risk. Most of the Funds’ investment management and business affairs are carried out by or through the the Funds’ investment adviser, distributor and other service providers, most of whom employ professional personnel who have risk management responsibilities and each of whom has an independent interest in risk management, which interest could differ from or conflict with that of the other funds that are advised by the investment adviser. The role of the Rydex Board and of any individual Trustee is one of oversight and not of management of the day-to-day affairs of the Trusts and this oversight role does not make the Rydex Board a guarantor of the Trusts’ investments, operations or activities. As a result of the foregoing and other factors, the Rydex Board’s risk management oversight is subject to limitations.

Role of Diversity in Considering Board Candidates

In considering Trustee nominee candidates, the Governance and Nominating Committee takes into account a wide variety of factors, including the overall diversity of the Rydex Board’s composition. The Governance and Nominating Committee believes the Rydex Board benefits from diversity of background, experience and views among its members, and considers this a factor in evaluating the composition of the Rydex Board, but has not adopted any specific policy in this regard.

APPENDIX D

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM AND RELATED FEES

The firm of Ernst & Young LLP (“Ernst & Young”) has been selected as independent auditor of the Trusts for each Trust’s current fiscal year. Ernst & Young has confirmed to the Audit Committee of each Board that they are independent auditors with respect to the Trusts. Representatives of Ernst & Young are not expected to be present at the Meeting, but will have the opportunity to make a statement if they wish, and will be available should any matter arise requiring their presence.

Certain information concerning the fees and services provided by Ernst & Young to the Trusts and to the Funds’ investment advisers and their affiliates for the two most recently completed fiscal years of the Trusts is provided below. The Audit Committee is responsible for the engagement, compensation and oversight of Ernst & Young. The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve all audit and permitted non-audit services performed by Ernst & Young for the Funds in accordance with the Audit Committee Charter and the 1940 Act and make a determination with respect to Ernst & Young’s independence each year. For the two most recent fiscal years for each of the Funds, none of the services provided to the Trusts or described under “Audit-Related Fees,” “Tax Fees” and “All Other Fees” were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception to the pre-approval requirements. The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of any non-audit services not pre-approved by the Audit Committee provided by Ernst & Young to each Fund’s investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence.

The following table sets forth the aggregate fees billed by Ernst & Young for professional services rendered to each Trust during the two most recent fiscal years.
