Dear Shareholder,

After refraining from cutting the target rate on overnight loans during the previous two years, the Federal Reserve Board's Open Market Committee cut rates six times since the beginning of 2001 -- bringing the rate from 6% on January 1 to 3.75% at the end of the second quarter. Though the rate cuts spurred rallies in stock markets, the economic improvements were short-lived. By mid year, widespread layoffs continued. Some analysts, concerned about the slowing economy, were expressing fear that the Fed's actions may not significantly stimulate the economy.

First Half Review

Earnings were poor in the first quarter of the year, falling 11.08% below those in the first quarter of 2000, according to First Call/Thomson Financial. This was the biggest quarterly decline in a decade. The Nasdaq Composite Index was down 25.50% -- its worst quarter ever. The Nasdaq 100, which contains the largest stocks in the overall Nasdaq Composite, fared even worse, falling 32.81%. The Standard & Poor's 500 (S&P 500) lost 12.11%.

While the second quarter was an improvement over the first, the economy continued to weaken. Quarterly earnings (through June 17) were 20.50% below the same quarter last year. Despite the continued poor earnings environment, however, all of the major market indices posted positive returns. The Nasdaq 100 was up 16.33% for the quarter, while the S&P 500 was up 5.52%.

As evidenced by the Nasdaq Composite Index, technology shares came back strong in the second quarter, led by technology bellwether Microsoft. In June, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia overturned the order to split up the company.

Oil & gas and communications continued to falter during the second quarter, but entertainment & leisure joined computer software in leading the recovery. Increasing optimism that the economy has bottomed out has investors hoping that corporate profits will improve in the next nine to 12 months.

Going Forward

There are some indications of economic improvement. During the first half of the year, consumer cyclicals, which comprise 9.17% of the S&P 500, were up 6.68%. Analysts who believe that cyclical stocks are the first to respond once the market bottoms see this as a positive sign. In addition, the traditionally defensive basic materials sector was the best performer in the fourth quarter of 2000, lending some credibility to the theory that the market could have bottomed in the beginning of the second quarter of this year.

There are other encouraging developments as well. Natural gas, gasoline and electricity prices have dropped considerably from their 2000 highs. In addition to reducing costs for businesses, more reasonable energy prices will act as a tax cut for consumers, freeing up income for additional for spending. The $39 billion tax rebate should also raise consumer confidence levels and, subsequently, spending. This should keep the economy from slipping into recession during the third and fourth quarters.

Sincerely,

Albert P. "Skip" Viragh, Jr.

Chairman of the Board

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Rydex Dynamic Funds (the "Trust") is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") as a non-diversified, open-ended investment company, and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust consists of eight separate funds and offers two classes of shares, H Class Shares and C Class Shares.

The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and are consistently followed by the Trust.

A. The Trust calculates a net asset value per share ("NAV") twice each business day, first in the morning and again in the afternoon. The morning NAV is calculated at 10:45 a.m., Eastern Time, and the afternoon NAV is calculated at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (currently 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time). The NAV is calculated using the current market value of each Fund's total assets as of the respective time of calculation.

B. Securities listed on an exchange are valued at the last quoted sales price as of 4:00 P.M. on the valuation date. Securities not traded on an exchange are valued at their last sales price. Listed options held by the Trust are valued at their last bid price. Over-the-counter options held by the Trust are valued using the average bid price obtained from one or more security dealers. The value of futures contracts purchased and sold by the Trust are accounted for using the unrealized gain or loss on the contracts that is determined by marking the contracts to their current realized settlement prices. Short-term securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under direction of the Board of Trustees or by the advisor using methods established or ratified by the Board of Trustees.

C. Securities transactions are recorded on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded using the identified cost basis. Dividend income, if applicable, is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of applicable taxes withheld by foreign countries. Interest income is accrued on a daily basis.

 

 

Page 34


 

 

 

D. When the Trust engages in a short sale, an amount equal to the proceeds is reflected as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked to market to reflect the market value of the short sale. The Trust maintains a segregated account of securities as collateral for the short sales. The Trust is exposed to market risk based on the amount, if any, that the market value of the stock exceeds the market value of the securities in the segregated account.

E. When the Trust writes (sells) an option, an amount equal to the premium received is entered in the Trust's accounting records as an asset and equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. When an option expires, or if the Trust enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Trust realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was sold).

F. The Trust may purchase or sell stock index futures contracts and options on such futures contracts. Futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities at a specified future delivery date and at a specific price. Upon entering into a contract, the Trust deposits and maintains as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is effected. Pursuant to the contract, the Trust agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by the Trust as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Trust records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

G. The Trust may enter into equity index swap agreements, which are over-the-counter contracts in which one party agrees to make periodic payments based on the change in market value of a specified equity security, basket of equity securities, or equity index in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate or the change in market value of a different equity security, basket of equity securities, or equity index. Swap agreements may be used to obtain exposure to an equity or market without owning or taking physical custody of securities.

H. The Trust intends to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and will distribute all net investment income to its shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax provision is required.

I. Interest and dividend income, most expenses, all realized gains and losses, and all unrealized gains and losses are allocated to the classes based upon the value of the outstanding shares in each Class. Certain costs, such as distribution fees relating to H Class Shares and service and distribution fees relating to C Class Shares, are charged directly to specific classes.

J. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for items such as deferral of wash sales and post-October losses and regulated futures contracts and options. Net investment income and loss, net realized gains and losses, and net assets were not affected by these differences.

K. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

2. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

As part of its investment strategy, the Trust may utilize a variety of derivative instruments, including options, futures and swap agreements. These investments involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk and risks in excess of the amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium originally paid. Options written by a fund involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the option value reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The risk in writing a covered call option is that a fund may forego the opportunity for profit if the market price of the underlying security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a covered put option is that a fund may incur a loss if the market price of the underlying security decreases and the option is exercised. In addition, there is the risk that a fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market or, for over-the-counter options, because of the counterparty's inability to perform.

There are several risks in connection with the use of futures contracts. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of amounts reflected in the financial statements. Risks may be caused by an imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the instruments and the price of the underlying securities. In addition, there is the risk that a fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market.

 

 

Page 36


 

 

 

 

In conjunction with the use of options and futures, as well as short sales of securities, the Funds are required to maintain collateral in various forms. The funds use, where appropriate, depending on the financial instrument utilized and the broker involved, margin deposits at the broker, cash segregated at the custodian bank, or the repurchase agreements allocated to each fund.

The use of equity swaps involves risks that are different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. Swap agreements may be considered to be illiquid. Although a fund will not enter into any swap agreement unless the Advisor believes that the other party to the transaction is creditworthy, a fund does bear the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of the agreement counterparty.

The risks inherent in the use of options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts, and swap agreements include 1) adverse changes in the value of such instruments; 2) imperfect correlation between the price of the instruments and movements in the price of the underlying securities, index, or futures contract; and 3) the possible absence of a liquid secondary market for any particular instrument at any time.

 

  1. MASTER-FEEDER ARRANGEMENT

Effective after the close of business on December 31, 2000, the Titan 500 Fund, the Tempest 500 Fund, the Velocity 100 Fund, and the Venture 100 Fund were reorganized into a 'master-feeder arrangement.' Under a master-feeder arrangement, a Fund invests substantially all of its assets in the Master Portfolio, a separate open-end investment company that has the same investment objectives as the Fund, e.g., the Titan 500 Fund would act as a "feeder fund," holding shares of its Master Portfolio as its only investment. As a result, the Fund has an indirect interest in all of the securities owned by the Master Portfolio. Because of this indirect interest, the Fund's investment returns should be the same as those of the Master Portfolio, adjusted for Fund expenses. The financial statements of the Master Portfolios, including the Schedule of Investments, are included in this report and should be read with the Funds' financial statements. The percentage of Titan 500 Master Portfolio, Tempest 500 Master Portfolio, Velocity 100 Master Portfolio, and Venture 100 Master Portfolio owned by the Titan 500 Fund, Tempest 500 Fund, Velocity 100 Fund, and Venture 100 Fund, respectively, at June 30, 2001, was 100 percent.

4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Under the terms of an investment advisory contract, the Trust pays Rydex Global Advisors, an affiliated entity, investment advisory fees calculated at an annualized rate of nine-tenths of one percent (0.90%) of the average daily net assets of each of the Master Portfolios. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also officers and directors of Rydex Global Advisors.


Rydex Fund Services, Inc. (the "Servicer"), an affiliated entity, provides transfer agent services to the Trust for fees calculated at an annualized rate of one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the average daily net assets of each of the funds. The Servicer also provides accounting services to the Trust calculated at an annualized rate of one-tenth of one percent (0.10%) on the first $30 million of the average daily net assets, one-twentieth of one percent (0.05%) on the next $20 million of the average daily net assets, one-thirty third of one percent (0.03%) on the next $50 million of the average daily net assets, and one-fiftieth of one percent (0.02%) on the average daily net assets over $100 million of each of the funds. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also officers and directors of the Servicer.


The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") applicable to its H Class Shares that allows the Funds to pay distribution fees to Rydex Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliated entity, and other firms that provide distribution services ("Service Providers"). If a Service Provider provides distribution services, the Funds will pay distribution fees to the Distributor at an annual rate not to exceed .25% of average daily net assets, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Distributor will, in turn, pay the Service Provider out of its fees.


Page 38


 

 

 

The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Shareholder Services Plan (the "C Class Plan") applicable to its C Class Shares that allows the Funds to pay annual distribution and service fees of 1.00% of the Funds' average daily net assets. The annual .25% service fee compensates your financial advisor for providing on-going services to you. Rydex Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor") retains the service and distribution fees on accounts with no authorized dealer of record. The annual .75% distribution fee reimburses the Distributor for paying your financial advisor an on-going sales commission. The Distributor advances the first year's service and distribution fees.


Certain officers and trustees of the Funds are also officers and directors of Rydex Distributors, Inc.


The Advisor has voluntarily agreed to maintain the actual Total Annual Operating Expenses of the Dynamic Funds at an "expense cap" of 1.75% for H Class Shares and 2.50% for C Class Shares. This means that the Advisor will reimburse certain expenses of the Funds so that expenses do not exceed 1.75% for H Class Shares or 2.50% for C Class Shares. Because the Advisor's agreement to maintain an expense cap is voluntary, the Advisor may discontinue all or part of its reimbursements at any time. In addition, if at any point during the first three years of Fund operations it becomes unnecessary for the Advisor to make reimbursements, the Advisor may retain the difference between the Total Annual Operating Expenses of any Fund and the "expense cap" (before sales charge specifically pertaining to C Class shares is calculated) to recapture any of its prior reimbursements.

5. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

The Trust transfers uninvested cash balances into a single joint account, along with uninvested cash of the Rydex Series Funds, a separate Trust, the daily aggregate balance of which is invested in one or more repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Treasury obligations. The collateral is in the possession of the Trusts' custodians and is evaluated daily to ensure that its market value exceeds the delivery value of the repurchase agreements at maturity.
