RYDEX ETF TRUST
(the “Trust”)

Supplement dated March 28, 2018 to the currently effective Summary Prospectuses, Statutory Prospectuses (collectively, the “Prospectuses”) and Statements of Additional Information (together, the “SAIs”)

This supplement provides new and additional information beyond that contained in the Prospectuses, SAIs and past Supplements, and should be read in conjunction with the Prospectuses and SAIs.



At Special Meetings of Shareholders held on February 16, 2018, March 16, 2018 and March 26, 2018, shareholders of each series of the Trust (each, a “Fund”) approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization providing for the reorganization (each, a “Reorganization”) of each Fund into a corresponding newly-created series of the PowerShares by Invesco family of funds (each, an “Acquiring Fund”).

If other closing conditions are satisfied or waived, the closing date of each Reorganization, and the closing date of the transaction between Guggenheim Capital LLC (“Guggenheim”) and Invesco Ltd. (“Invesco”) relating to the acquisition by Invesco of Guggenheim’s exchange-traded funds business (the “Transaction”), is expected to be April 6, 2018, or as soon as practicable thereafter.

After the close of the markets on April 6, 2018, shareholders of each Fund will become shareholders of the corresponding Acquiring Fund as set forth below.  Shareholders of each Fund will receive shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund (and cash with respect to any fractional shares held by a Fund shareholder) with an aggregate net asset value equal to the net asset value of their shares of the Fund held immediately prior to each Reorganization.  Each Reorganization is expected to be a tax-free transaction.
