LETTER TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The major stock indices were all up between 4% and 7% for the six months ending June 30, 2011, masking flat or slightly negative returns in the April-June period. Market sentiment has swung sharply this year, from optimism over the improving global expansion, to concern that a U.S. economic soft patch was developing due to a jump in oil prices, the impact of poor weather earlier in the year and supply-chain disruptions in the aftermath of the Japanese tsunami.
Estimates of U.S. GDP growth for the first half fell from over 3% to closer to 2%, which, although not positive for employment, did help pull down bond yields and oil prices. Some data late in the half suggested the labor market was improving, helping spur a rally that carried equities up about 5% in the last trading week of June, the biggest weekly gain in two years. But the June jobs report, released on July 8, confirmed that job creation is stalling, renewing concerns about a double-dip recession and need for a new monetary policy response.
The U.S. Federal Reserve, (the “Fed”) said that it has done all it plans to do, for now, to foster growth, ending its purchase of $600 billion worth of Treasury securities in late June. Critics contend the Fed must consider a third round of quantitative easing to keep long-term rates low, while others say easy-money policies have not helped the economy’s underlying structural problems and may be setting the stage for inflation. Meanwhile, investor confidence eroded over the course of the first half, as consumers are spending at the weakest level in 20 months.
Tailwinds for the U.S. economy at mid-year include gas prices that have eased from their recent peak in early May, and the return to normal operations for Japanese factories that should help U.S. manufacturing improve through the rest of 2011. Many companies were expected to report healthy second-quarter profits, based on fulfilling demand from emerging markets, and strong productivity. Some analysts said profits could fall later in 2011, as material prices rise and economic worries persist.
In fixed income, the combination of Europe’s debt problems, the U.S.’s weak economic data and an accommodative Fed provided incentives for bond buyers as the first half unfolded, raising bond prices while holding down yields. Most bond segments were strong absolute performers in the second quarter, handily beating equities, and also turned in competitive returns for the six months. With the end of the Fed’s quantitative easing, some question whether the bond market can carry its second quarter momentum forward. The market is also anticipating a showdown in setting the U.S. debt ceiling, headlines which could roil markets in July.
Globally, the economic recovery remains uneven, with weak growth in the advanced economies and strong growth in emerging and developing countries. Greater-than-expected weakness in the U.S. market, continuing fiscal challenges in Europe and signs of overheating in many emerging and developing countries, some believe, are increasing downside risks.

LETTER TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS (concluded)
Others, including the Fed, view any economic weakness as transitory, along with the surge in commodity prices and inflation. They believe a supportive central bank policy, continued solid corporate earnings and attractive valuations will benefit performance of both stocks and bonds in the second half of the year.
Thank you for investing in the SBL Funds.
Sincerely

-S- Richard M. Goldman

ABOUT SHAREHOLDERS’ FUND EXPENSES (Unaudited)
All mutual funds have operating expenses and it is important for our shareholders to understand the impact of costs on their investments. Shareholders of a Fund incur two types of costs: (i) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (ii) ongoing costs, including management fees, administrative services, and shareholder reports, among others. These ongoing costs, or operating expenses, are deducted from a fund’s gross income and reduce the investment return of the fund.
A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets, which is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help investors understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period beginning December 31, 2010 and ending June 30, 2011.
The following tables illustrate a Fund’s costs in two ways:
Table 1. Based on actual Fund return. This section helps investors estimate the actual expenses paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return, and the fourth column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. Investors may use the information here, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses paid over the period. Simply divide the Fund’s account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number provided under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Table 2. Based on hypothetical 5% return. This section is intended to help investors compare a Fund’s cost with those of other mutual funds. The table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses paid during the period. The example is useful in making comparisons because the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on the 5% return. Investors can assess a Fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
The calculations illustrated above assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.
Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs which may be incurred by a Fund.
More information about a Fund’s expenses, including annual expense ratios for the past five years, can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to the appropriate Fund prospectus.

NOTES TO FINANCIALS TATEMENTS (Unaudited)
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies Organization
SBL Fund (the “Trust”), a Kansas business trust, is registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as a non-diversified, open-ended investment company of the Series type. The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of no par value shares. Each Series, in effect, represents a separate Fund (the “Fund”, or collectively the “Funds”). Security Benefit Life Insurance Company (“SBL”) and SBL’s affiliated life insurance company as well as unaffiliated life insurance companies purchase shares of the Funds for their variable annuity and variable life insurance separate accounts. At June 30, 2011, the Trust consisted of fourteen separate Funds.
The Trust is required to account for the assets of each Fund separately and to allocate general liabilities of the Trust to each Fund based on the net asset value of each Fund.
Security Investors, LLC (“SI”) provides advisory, administrative and accounting services to the Trust and Rydex Fund Services, LLC (“RFS”) provides transfer agent services to the Trust. Rydex Distributors, LLC (“RDL”) acts as principal underwriter for the Trust. SI, RFS and RDL are affiliated entities.
T. Rowe Price serves as investment sub-advisor on behalf of Series N (Managed Asset Allocation Series) and Mainstream serves as investment sub-advisor on behalf of Series Z (Alpha Opportunity Series). The sub-advisors furnish investment advisory services, supervise and arrange for the purchase and sale of securities and provide for the compilation and maintenance of records pertaining to such investment advisory services, subject to the control and supervision of the Board of Directors of the Trust and SI. Prior to January 14, 2011 Security Global Investors, LLC (“SGI”) acted as a sub-advisor to the Series D (MSCI EAFE Equal Weight Series) and a portion of the total assets of Series Z (Alpha Opportunity Series). Effective January 14, 2011, SGI was merged with and into SI.
Significant Accounting Policies
The following significant accounting policies and the preparation of financial statements are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and are consistently followed by the Trust. This 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. The information contained in these notes may not apply to every Series in the Trust. All time references are based on Eastern Time.
A. Security Valuation – Valuations of the Funds’ securities are supplied by pricing services approved by the Board of Directors. The Trust’s officers, through the Valuation Committee under the general supervision of the Board of Directors, regularly review procedures used by, and valuations provided by, the pricing services.
Equity securities listed on an exchange (New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) or American Stock Exchange) are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the close of business on the NYSE, usually 4:00 p.m. on the valuation date. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ market system are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price on the valuation date, which may not necessarily represent the last sale price. If there has been no sale on such exchange or NASDAQ on such day, the security is valued at the closing bid price on such day.
Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued in good faith by SI under the direction of the Board of Directors, by such methods deemed by the Board of Directors to reflect the fair value considering investments with similar yields, quality, type of issue, coupon, duration and rating. If events occur that will affect the value of a Fund’s portfolio securities before the NAV has been calculated (a “significant event”), the security will generally be priced using a fair value procedure. If the Valuation Committee determines a significant event has occurred, it will evaluate the impact of that event on an affected security or securities, to determine whether a fair value adjustment would materially affect the Fund’s NAV per share. Some of the factors which may be considered by the Board of Directors in determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of any restrictions on disposition; trading in similar securities of the same issuer or comparable companies; information from broker-dealers; and an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold.
Debt securities in a non 2a-7 money market fund with a maturity greater than 60 days at the time of purchase are valued at prices based on market quotations for such securities or securities of similar type, yield, quality and duration. Short-term debt securities with a maturity of 60 days or less at acquisition and repurchase agreements are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
Listed options held by the Trust are valued at the Official Settlement Price listed by the exchange, usually as of 4:00 p.m. Long options are valued using the bid price and short options are valued using the ask price. In the event that a settlement price is not available, fair valuation is enacted. Over-the-counter options held by the Trust are valued using the average bid price (for long options), or average ask price (for short options) obtained from one or more security dealers.
Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. The values of foreign securities are determined as of the close of such foreign markets or the close of the NYSE, if earlier. All investments quoted in foreign currency are valued in U.S. dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange

The Valuation Committee will determine the current value of such foreign securities by taking into consideration certain factors which may include those discussed above, as well as the following factors, among others: the value of the securities traded on other foreign markets, ADR trading, closed-end fund trading, foreign currency exchange activity, and the trading prices of financial products that are tied to foreign securities such as WEBS®. In addition, the Board of Directors has authorized the Valuation Committee and SI to use prices and other information supplied by a third party pricing vendor in valuing foreign securities.
B. Foreign Currency Transactions – The accounting records of the Trust are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income, and certain expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Changes in the relationship of these foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of the investments and earnings of the Funds. Foreign investments may also subject the Funds to foreign government exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic developments, all of which could affect the market and/or credit risk of the investments.
The Trust does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies and currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on investment transactions. Net unrealized exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities other than investments insecurities at the fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
C. Futures – Series Z utilized futures contracts to obtain broad index exposure. Returns may be enhanced by purchasing futures contracts instead of the underlying securities when futures are believed to be priced more attractively than the underlying securities. There are several risks in connection with the use of futures contracts. 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 the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market. 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 Fund deposits and maintains as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is effected. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund 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 Fund as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Fund 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. Cash deposits are shown as restricted cash on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities; securities held as collateral are noted on the Schedule of Investments.
D. Options Written – Series O (All Cap Value Series), Series Q (Small Cap Value Series) and Series V (Mid Cap Value Series) wrote call options on a covered basis and put options on securities that are traded on recognized securities exchanges and over-the-counter markets (See Note 10). Call and put options on securities give the writer the obligation to sell or purchase a security at a specified price, until a certain date. Options were used minimally to hedge the Funds’ portfolio, to increase returns, to maintain exposure to the equity markets, and create liquidity. 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. An amount equal to the premium received is entered in the Fund’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 a written option expires, or if a Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, it realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was sold).
E. Securities Sold Short – Certain Funds may make short sales “against the box,” in which the Fund enters into a short sale of a security it owns. At no time will more than 15% of the value of the Funds’ net assets be in deposits on short sales against the box. When a Fund makes a short sale, the Fund does not immediately deliver the securities sold from its own account, or receive the proceeds from the sale. To complete the sale, the Fund must borrow the security (generally from the broker through which the short sale is made) in order to make delivery to the buyer. The Fund must replace the security borrowed by purchasing it at the market price at the time of replacement or delivering the security from its own portfolio. The Fund is said to have a “short position” in securities sold until it delivers them to the broker, at which time it receives the proceeds of the sale. Certain Funds may make short sales that are not “against the box,” which create opportunities to increase the Funds’ return but, at the same time, involve specific risk considerations and may be considered a speculative

technique. Such short sales theoretically involve unlimited loss potential, as the market price of securities sold short may continually increase, although a Fund may mitigate such losses by replacing the securities sold short before the market price has increased significantly. For financial statement purposes, an amount equal to the settlement amount is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the short position. Subsequent fluctuations in the market prices of securities sold, but not yet purchased, may require purchasing the securities at prices which differ from the market value reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds are liable for any dividends or interest payable on securities while those securities are in a short position. As collateral for its short positions, the Fund is required under the 1940 Act to maintain segregated assets consisting of cash, cash equivalents or liquid securities. These segregated assets are valued consistent with Note 1A and are required to be adjusted daily to reflect changes in the market value of the securities sold short.
F. Security Transactions and Investment Income – Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded using the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of applicable taxes withheld by foreign countries. Taxable non-cash dividends are recorded as dividend income. Interest income, including amortization of premiums and accretion of discount, is accrued on a daily basis. Distributions received from investments in REITs are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distribution by the issuer.
G. Expenses – Expenses that are related to a specific Fund are charged directly to that Fund. Other operating expenses are allocated to the Funds on the basis of relative net assets within the Trust.
H. Distributions to Shareholders – The Funds are required by the Internal Revenue Code to distribute substantially all of its income and capital gains to its shareholders. Each year the determines whether to declare and pay actual dividends or whether to secure consent of its shareholders to report and deduct a consent dividend. A consent dividend is treated for tax purposes as a distribution to shareholders occurring on the last day of the Fund’s taxable year and a shareholder contribution to capital occurring on the same day. It is the Trust’s current practice to utilize the consent dividend procedures. The character of any distributions made from net investment income and net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for income tax purposes.
I. Earnings Credits – Under the fee arrangement with the custodian, the Funds may earn credits based on overnight custody cash balances. These credits are utilized to reduce related custodial expenses. The custodian fees disclosed in the Statements of Operations are before the reduction in expense from the related earnings credits, if any.
J. Indemnifications – Under the Funds’ organizational documents, its Officers and Directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, throughout the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds and/or their affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Effective May 1, 2010, the investment advisory contract for Series E, Series O, and Series Z provides that the total expenses be limited to 0.81%, 1.00%, and 2.35%, respectively, of average daily net assets, exclusive of brokerage costs, dividends on securities sold short, expenses of other investment companies in which a fund invests, interest, taxes, litigation, indemnification, and extraordinary expenses (as determined under generally accepted accounting principles). These contracts are in effect through April 30, 2012. SI is entitled to reimbursement by the Series E, Series O, and Series Z of fees waived or expenses reimbursed during any of the previous 36 months, beginning on the date of the expense limitation agreement, if on any day the estimated operating expenses are less than the indicated percentages. As of June 30, 2011, the amount of fees reimbursed that are subject to recoupment in the Series E, Series O, and Series Z were $181,665, $79,226, and $285,696, respectively. For the period ended June 30, 2011, the amounts of fees recouped by SI in the Series E, Series O, and Series Z were $—, $—, and $—, respectively. Prior to May 1, 2010, Series E had a 0.15% fee waiver of $(66,467) which is not available to be recouped and had no expense limit. Prior to May 1, 2010 the expense limit for Series O was 0.85% and Series Z was 1.70%.
At June 30, 2011, Security Benefit Life Insurance Company, through their insurance company separate accounts, owned 100% of the outstanding shares of each Series of the Trust, except for Series O, Q and V, in which it owns 99% of each Series.
3. Federal Income Tax Information
The Funds intend to comply with the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and distribute substantially all taxable net investment income and capital gains sufficient to relieve them from all, or substantially all, federal income, excise and state income taxes. Distributions may be made via consent dividends, as previously described in the paragraph 1H. Therefore, no provision for federal or state income tax is required.
Tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns are evaluated to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (fiscal years 2007 — 2011), and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for derivatives, foreign currency transactions, losses deferred due to wash sales, losses deferred due to post-October losses, and excise tax regulations.
The Fund declared ordinary and long-term capital gain consent dividends for the year ended December 31, 2010, as shown below.

Short term distributions are treated as ordinary distributions for federal income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences, if any, will result in reclassifications. This may include net operating losses not utilized during the current period and the expiration of capital loss carryforward. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. Any undistributed ordinary income or long-term capital gain remaining at fiscal year-end is distributed in the following year.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
The RIC Modernization Act of 2010 was signed into law on December 22, 2010 and seeks to simplify some of the tax provisions applicable to regulated investment companies and the tax reporting to their shareholders, and to improve the tax efficiency of certain fund structure. The greatest impact to the disclosure in the financial reports for the Funds will be seen on the treatment of net capital losses, effective for tax years beginning after December 22, 2010.
At June 30, 2011, the cost of securities for Federal income tax purposes, the aggregate gross unrealized gain for all securities for which there was an excess of value over tax cost and the aggregate gross unrealized loss for all securities for which there was an excess of tax cost over value were as follows:

*   The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, the realization of unrealized gains for tax purposes on futures contracts, differing book and tax methods for bond discount/premium amortization, and passive foreign investment companies.
 
**   The difference between total distributable earnings/(deficit) for book and tax purposes is related to the interest accrued on defaulted bonds for tax purposes.
4. Fair Value Measurement
In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. A three-tier hierarchy is utilized to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments). The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following table summarizes the inputs used to value the Funds’ net assets at June 30, 2011:

The Funds adopted updated provisions surrounding fair value measurements and disclosures which apply to the Funds’ disclosures about transfers in and out of all levels of the fair value hierarchy and the reasons for the transfers as well as to disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for investments that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010, purchases, sales, issuances and settlements must be shown on a gross basis in the Level 3 roll forward rather than as one net number.
Transfers between investment Levels may occur as the markets fluctuate and/or the availability of data used in an investment’s valuation changes. The Funds recognize transfers between the Levels as of the beginning of the period. For the period ended June 30, 2011, there were no transfers between levels.

5. Repurchase Agreements
In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Funds’ policy that their custodian takes possession of the underlying collateral. The collateral is in the possession of the Funds’ custodian and is evaluated to ensure that its market value exceeds, at a minimum,102% of the original face amount of the repurchase agreements.
At June 30, 2011, the collateral for the repurchase agreements in the joint account was as follows:
                                                                 
            Terms of             Repurchase     Collateral     Collateral     Collateral     Collateral

In the event of counterparty default, the Funds have the right to collect the collateral to offset losses incurred. There is potential loss to the Funds in the event the Funds are delayed or prevented from exercising their rights to dispose of the collateral securities, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Funds seek to assert their rights. The Funds’ investment advisor, acting under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, reviews the value of the collateral and the creditworthiness of those banks and dealers with which the Funds enter into repurchase agreements to evaluate potential risks.
6. Derivative Investment Holdings Categorized by Risk Exposure
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires disclosures to enable investors to better understand how and why the Funds use derivative instruments, how these derivatives instruments are accounted for and their effects on the Funds’ financial position and results of operations. None of the derivatives currently held by the Funds are being used as hedging instruments.
During the period ended June 30, 2011, certain Funds sought to gain exposure to their respective benchmarks by investing in financial-linked derivative instruments, including options and futures. The following table represents the notional amount of derivative instruments outstanding, as an approximate percentage of the Funds’ net assets on a daily basis, while the risk to the Funds is limited to the profit earned on such derivatives.

7. Other Liabilities
Series A (Large Cap Core Series) and Series V (Mid Cap Value Series) each wrote put option contracts through Lehman Brothers, Inc. (“Lehman”) that were exercised prior to the option contracts expiration and prior to the bankruptcy filing by Lehman, during September 2008. However, these transactions have not settled and the securities have not been delivered to the Funds as of June 30, 2011.
Although the ultimate resolution of these transactions is uncertain, the Funds have recorded a liability on their respective books equal to the difference between the strike price on the put options and the market prices of the underlying security on the exercise date. The amount of liability recorded by the Funds as of June 30, 2011 was $18,615 for Series A and $205,716 for Series V.

11. Series Z
The Fund contracted with Lehman Brothers International Europe (“LBIE”) to provide prime brokerage services related to the Fund’s short selling. On September 15, 2008, LBIE was placed into administration and a third party administrator was named (the “Administrator”). The Fund’s exposure to LBIE consists of short sale proceeds held by LBIE, and restricted long positions held at the Fund’s custodian, as collateral for said short sales. The Fund has delivered a Notice of Termination of Loans to LBIE and the Administrator. The Fund is working to resolve these issues with LBIE and the Administrator. As of June 30, 2011, included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are the value of restricted long positions of $9,352,139, cash collateral of $586,580, restricted cash representing the value of short sale proceeds of $4,722,413 and liabilities for short sales of $7,786,654, representing the value of securities sold short at the date the short sales were deemed by the Fund to have been terminated. If these short sales had not been terminated, the value of the liability related to these securities sold short would have been $8,455,465 as of June 30, 2011 resulting in a decrease in net assets of $668,811 (or 3.4%). Until such time as the liability for short

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (concluded)
sales is settled and all restrictions are removed by LBIE and LBI, the Fund cannot sell such restricted long positions and/or utilize the restricted cash balances to achieve the Fund’s investment objectives and/or meet Fund redemption or other Fund obligations. Based on the ultimate terms of such settlement, the value assigned to these positions may ultimately differ from the fair valuations assigned to them by the Fund and there is no guaranty that the Fund will ultimately recover the full value of the assets that are subject to restrictions. Accordingly, a settlement could ultimately result in the Fund realizing values that are materially different from those indicated herein, which would materially impact the Fund’s net asset value (either positively or negatively). As of the close of business on October 3, 2008, and until further notice, the Fund is not accepting subscriptions for shares from either new or existing shareholders.
12. Fund Merger
On April 30, 2010, Series A (Large Cap Core Series) acquired all of the net assets of Series H (Enhanced Index Series), a separate series of the Fund, in exchange for shares of the Series A (Large Cap Core Series), pursuant to an agreement and plan of reorganization approved by the Board of Directors and approved by the shareholders of the Series H (Enhanced Index Series). The acquisition was accomplished through a combination of a tax-free exchange of the outstanding shares of the Series H (Enhanced Index Series) 5,066,966 valued at $47,882,828 for respective shares of the Series A (Large Cap Core Series) 2,188,429. For financial reporting purposes, the net assets received and shares issued by Series A (Large Cap Core Series) were recorded at fair value; however, the Series H (Enhanced Index Series)’s cost of the investments was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of Series A (Large Cap Core Series) realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.
Series H (Enhanced Index Series)’s net assets on April 30, 2010 were $47,882,828, including $1,097,678 of unrealized appreciation. Series H (Enhanced Index Series)’s net assets were primarily comprised of investments with a fair value of $45,146,242. The aggregate net assets of Series A (Large Cap Core Series) immediately before and after the acquisition were $204,742,194 and $252,625,022, respectively.
The financial statements reflect the operations of the Series A (Large Cap Core Series) for the period prior to the acquisition and the combined fund for the period subsequent to the fund merger. Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Series H (Enhanced Index Series) that have been included in the combined fund’s Statement of Operations since the acquisition was completed. Assuming the acquisition had been completed January 1, 2010, Series A (Large Cap Core Series) pro-forma net investment income, net realized and unrealized gain on investments and net increase in net assets from operations for the period January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010 would have been $2,093,242, $34,973,609 and $37,066,851, respectively. Security Investors, LLC and Series H (Enhanced Index Series) bore one-half of the expenses related to the reorganization.
13. Series D Name and Objective Change
At a meeting held on February 16, 2011 the Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved the following changes with respect to Series D, each effective on April 29, 2011:
    The change of the Fund’s name to “MSCI EAFE Equal Weight Series;”
 
    The change of the Fund’s’ investment objective to “performance that corresponds, before fees and expenses, to the price and yield performance of the MSCI EAFE Equal Weighted Index;”
 
    The change of the Fund’s investment strategies to reflect the new name and investment objective;
 
    The change of the Fund’s benchmark index in light of the foregoing changes to the Fund’s investment objective and strategies; and
 
    A new lower investment advisory fee of 0.70% of average daily net assets on an annual basis (instead of 1.00% prior to April 29, 2011).
14. New Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an Accounting Standards Update, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, which introduces new disclosure requirements and clarifies certain existing disclosure requirements around fair value measurements currently presented in Note 4 related primarily to Level 3 measurement. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for the Funds’ year ending December 31, 2011. Management is evaluating the impact of this update on its current disclosures.

RYDEX|SGI PRIVACY POLICIES
Rydex Funds, Rydex|SGI Funds, Rydex Investments, Rydex Distributors, Inc., Security Investors, LLC, Security Global Investors, LLC, Security Distributors, Inc. and Rydex Advisory Services (Collectively “Rydex|SGI”)
Our Commitment to You
When you become a Rydex|SGI investor, you entrust us with not only your hard-earned money but also with personal and financial information about you. We recognize that your relationship with us is based on trust and that you expect us to act responsibly and in your best interests. Because we have access to this private information about you, we hold ourselves to the highest standards in its safekeeping and use. This means, most importantly, that we do not sell client information to anyone—whether it is your personal information or if you are a current or former Rydex|SGI client.
The Information We Collect About You
In the course of doing business with shareholders and investors, we collect nonpublic personal information about you. You typically provide personal information when you complete a Rydex|SGI account application or when you request a transaction that involves Rydex and Rydex|SGI funds or one of the Rydex|SGI affiliated companies. “Nonpublic personal information” is personally identifiable private information about you. For example, it includes information regarding your name and address, Social Security or taxpayer identification number, assets, income, account balance, bank account information and investment activity (e.g., purchase and redemption history).
How We Handle Your Personal Information
As emphasized above, we do not sell information about current or former clients or their accounts to third parties. Nor do we share such information, except when necessary to complete transactions at your request or to make you aware of related investment products and services that we offer. Additional details about how we handle your personal information are provided below. To complete certain transactions or account changes that you direct, it may be necessary to provide identifying information to companies, individuals or groups that are not affiliated with Rydex|SGI. For example, if you ask to transfer assets from another financial institution to Rydex|SGI, we will need to provide certain information about you to that company to complete the transaction. To alert you to other Rydex|SGI investment products and services, we may share your information within the Rydex|SGI family of affiliated companies. This would include, for example, sharing your information within Rydex|SGI so we can make you aware of new Rydex and Rydex|SGI funds or the services offered through another Rydex|SGI affiliated company. In certain instances, we may contract with nonaffiliated companies to perform services for us. Where necessary, we will disclose information we have about you to these third parties. In all such cases, we provide the third party with only the information necessary to carry out its assigned responsibilities and only for that purpose. And we require these third parties to treat your private information with the same high degree of confidentiality that we do. In certain instances, we may share information with other financial institutions regarding individuals and entities in response to the U.S.A. Patriot Act. Finally, we will release information about you if you direct us to do so, if we are compelled by law to do so or in other circumstances permitted by law.
Opt Out Provisions
We do not sell your personal information to anyone. The law allows you to “opt out” of only certain kinds of information sharing with third parties. The firm does not share personal information about you with any third parties that triggers this opt-out right. This means YOU ARE ALREADY OPTED OUT.
How We Protect Privacy Online
Our concern for the privacy of our shareholders also extends to those who use our web site, www.rydex-sgi.com. Our web site uses some of the most secure forms of online communication available, including encryption technology, Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol, firewalls and user names and passwords. These technologies provide a high level of security and privacy when you access your account information or initiate online transactions. The Rydex|SGI web site offers customized features that require our use of “http cookies”—tiny pieces of information that we ask your browser to store. However, we make very limited use of these cookies. We only use cookies for session management and security features on the Rydex|SGI web site. We do not use them to pull data from your hard drive, to learn your email address, or to view data in cookies created by other web sites. We will not share the information in our cookies or give others access to it. See the legal information area on our web site for more details about web site security and privacy features.
How We Safeguard Your Personal Information
We restrict access to nonpublic personal information about shareholders to our employees and in some cases to third parties (for example, the service providers described above) as permitted by law. We maintain strict physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that comply with federal standards to guard your nonpublic personal information.
We’ll Keep You Informed
As required by federal law, we will notify shareholders of our privacy policy annually. We reserve the right to modify this policy at any time, but rest assured that if we do change it, we will tell you promptly. You will also be able to access our privacy policy from our web site at www.rydex-sgi.com. Should you have any questions regarding our privacy policy, contact us at 800.820.0888 or 301.296.5100.

Board of Directors Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement
At an in-person meeting of the Fund’s Board of Directors held February 17, 2011, called for the purpose of, among other things, voting on the approval of an amendment to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Fund’s Board of Directors, including Directors who are not interested persons of the Fund (the “Independent Directors”), unanimously approved an amendment to the investment advisory agreement between the Fund and Security Investors, LLC (“SI”) with respect to the Fund’s Series D (Global). The Directors requested and obtained from SI such information as the Directors deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed amendment to the investment advisory agreement.
In considering the approval of the amendment to the investment advisory agreement, the Directors evaluated a number of factors, including, among others, (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the advisory services to be provided by SI; (2) the investment performance of the Series D; (3) the costs of services provided by SI and the profits derived by SI from its relationship with the Fund; (4) a comparison of Series D’s expense ratio and those of similarly situated funds; (5) benefits (such as soft dollars) to SI and its affiliates from their relationship with the Fund (and any corresponding benefits to the Fund); (6) the expense limitation/fee waiver agreement between SI and the Fund; and (7) other factors of the Board deemed to be relevant. The Independent Directors also took into account other considerations believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to the Independent Directors by their independent legal counsel and the Directors’ own business judgment, to be relevant. Following its review, the Board of Directors determined that the investment advisory agreement would enable Fund shareholders to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable and in the best interests of shareholders. Accordingly, the Directors, including the Independent Directors, unanimously approved the amendment to the investment advisory agreement based upon the following considerations, among others:
  The nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided. The Board of Directors concluded that SI is capable of providing high quality services to the Fund, as indicated by the nature and quality of services provided in the past, SI’s management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the Fund and other mutual funds managed by SI, the professional qualifications and experience of SI’s portfolio managers and SI’s investment and management oversight processes. The Directors noted the experience of key investment and management personnel of SI who would be managing the funds and that there would be no diminution in the quantity or quality of services provided by Security Investors in connection with the reduction in the advisory fee and that these services were appropriate in scope and extent in light of the funds’ operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs.
 
  The investment performance of the Fund. The Board of Directors concluded that SI had achieved investment performance that was acceptable, and competitive or superior relative to comparable funds over trailing periods.

 


 

  The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. On the basis of the Board’s review of the fees to be charged by SI for investment advisory and other services, and the estimated profitability of SI’s relationship with the Fund, the Board concluded that the level of investment advisory fees and SI’s profitability were appropriate in light of the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between the Fund and SI and its affiliates. On the basis of comparative information compiled by Morningstar, the Directors determined that the advisory fees and estimated overall expense ratio of the Fund were competitive.
 
  Whether the advisory fees reflect economies of scale. The directors concluded that the Funds’ investment advisory fees appropriately reflected the current economic environment for SI and the competitive nature of the mutual fund market.
 
  The extent to which economies of scale will be realized as the Fund grows. While the Funds’ investment advisory fees do not reduce should Fund assets grow meaningfully, the Directors determined that Series D’s fees would be lower under the amended agreement and the Board would have the opportunity to reexamine whether the Fund had achieved economies of scale, and the appropriateness of the fees payable to SI under the amended agreement, at the contract renewal meeting to be held later in 2011.
