Chairman’s Letter

June 30, 2010

To Our Shareholders:

The equity markets experienced a roller coaster ride during the first half of 2010. For the 6-month period ending June 30, 2010, the S&P 500* lost 6.65% while the NASDAQ* and Dow Jones* indexes declined 6.63% and 5.50%, respectively.

The market was fixated on an economic recovery during the first quarter. This represented a continuation of the stock market movement from 2009. However, in the second quarter, investors around the world became more macro-focused and concerned about U.S. policies regarding the deficit, debt, and budget.

From early February through the end of April, the equity market continued its upward trajectory from the March 2009 bottom, gaining approximately 15% in the three-month period. The beginning of May marked an immediate reversal that sent the indexes down into correction territory, giving up all of the gains by the end of the second quarter.

Many of our SBL Funds performed well over the period compared to the indexes and peers. In the value equity space, the MidCap Value, Large Cap Value, and All Cap Value portfolios beat their competitors. The Small Cap Growth and Large Cap Concentrated Growth strategies beat the majority of their peer group. The High Yield portfolio continues to impress, especially over the longer-term periods of three and five years where it is in the top decile. The Global strategy also beat the majority of its competitors over the 6-month period ending June 30.

Investors have reduced their cyclical company exposures as job growth appears to have stalled. May’s employment report painted a discouraging picture for the U.S. economy. Although the economy added 431,000 jobs, only 41,000 of those jobs were added to private payrolls; the balance added was due to the government’s hiring of census workers. Recovery in the labor markets disappointed investors and the unemployed again in June.

Additionally, the unemployment rate declined to 9.5% because more Americans left the work force, and therefore, were not included in the pool of available labor. The unemployment rate hasn’t been below its current level for a year. These factors highlight the fragility of the recovery and increase worries about the potential for a double-dip recession given the trending decline in GDP.

In reaction, the Federal Reserve has kept interest rates at record lows, near 0% as it has since December 2008, and kept its outlook consistent over that 17-month period while continuing to purchase U.S. Treasury securities. Congress continues to debate the need for, and benefit of, additional fiscal stimulus.

Due to current economic concerns regarding employment, the size of debt at the federal and state levels, and a precarious risk / reward perspective on equity valuations, markets are likely to remain volatile. As the federal government continues to bring its need for large levels of debt to the fixed income markets interest rates could climb, which would limit the P/E expansion in the equity markets.

Volatility, which picked up in the second quarter, will likely continue. Earnings announcements, and accompanying forward-looking statements, for the second quarter may very well determine the direction of markets for the remainder of the year. We will continue to monitor corporate earnings and expectations of future earnings along with signs of a potential double-dip recession and adjust investment risk accordingly.

Thank you for the trust you have placed in us and investing in the SBL Funds.

 

Sincerely,
  
Richard M. Goldman
President and Chairman, SBL Fund

Information About Your Series Expenses

June 30, 2010 (Unaudited)

Calculating your ongoing Series expenses

As a shareholder of the Series, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other series expenses. Performance figures and expense ratios do not reflect fees and expenses associated with an investment in variable insurance products. Shares of a Series of SBL Fund are available only through the purchase of such products. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Series and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, December 31, 2009 through June 30, 2010.

Actual Expenses

The first table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your 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 in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Series actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Series actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Series and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other mutual funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any fees and expenses associated with an investment in variable insurance products. Therefore, the second table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these fees and expenses associated with an investment in variable insurance products were included, your costs would have been higher.

The chart above assumes a hypothetical $10,000 investment in Series N (Managed Asset Allocation Series) on June 30, 2000 and reflects the fees and expenses of Series N. The blended index is 60% S&P 500 Index and 40% Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The S&P 500 Index is a capitalization-weighted index composed of 500 selected common stocks that represent the broad domestic economy and is a widely recognized unmanaged index of market performance. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index that tracks investment grade bonds including U.S. Treasury and agency issues, corporate bond issues, asset-backed, commercial mortgage-backed and mortgage-backed securities and Yankee issues.

Performance figures do not reflect fees and expenses associated with an investment in variable insurance products offered by Security Benefit Life Insurance Company. If returns had taken into account these fees and expenses, performance would have been lower. Shares of a Series of SBL Fund are available only through the purchase of such products.

The performance data quoted above represents past performance. Past performance is not predictive of future performance. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

SBL Fund (The Fund) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended, as an open-end management investment company of the series type. Each series, in effect, represents a separate fund. The Fund is required to account for the assets of each series separately and to allocate general liabilities of the Fund to each Series based on the net asset value of each series. Security Benefit Life Insurance Company (“SBL”) and SBL’s affiliated life insurance company as well as unaffiliated life insurance companies purchase shares of the Series for their variable annuity and variable life insurance separate accounts. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

A. Security Valuation – Valuations of the Fund’s securities are supplied by pricing services approved by the Board of Directors. The Fund’s officers, under the general supervision of the Board of Directors, regularly review procedures used by, and valuations provided by, the pricing services. Each security owned by a Series that is listed on a securities exchange is valued at its last sale price on that exchange on the date as of which assets are valued. Where the security is listed on more than one exchange, the Series will use the price of that exchange that it generally considers to be the principal exchange on which the stock is traded. Securities listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“Nasdaq”) will be valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, 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. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued by a pricing service considering securities with similar yields, quality, type of issue, coupon, duration and rating. If there is no bid price or if the bid price is deemed to be unsatisfactory by the Board of Directors or by the Fund’s investment manager, then the securities are valued in good faith by such method as the Board of Directors determines will reflect the fair value. If events occur after the close of a foreign exchange that will affect the value of a series portfolio securities before the time as of which the NAV is 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 Series net asset value 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. The Fund generally will value short-term debt securities at prices based on market quotations for such securities or securities of similar type, yield, quality and duration, except those securities purchased with 60 days or less to maturity are valued on the basis of amortized cost which approximates market value.

Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange. The values of foreign securities are determined as of the close of such foreign markets or the close of the New York Stock Exchange, if earlier. All investments quoted in foreign currency are valued in U.S. dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates prevailing at the close of business. Investments in foreign securities may involve risks not present in domestic investments. 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 Administrator to use prices and other information supplied by a third party pricing vendor in valuing foreign securities.

The senior floating rate interests (loans) in which Series P invests are not listed on any securities exchange or board of trade. Accordingly, determinations of the value of loans may be based on infrequent and dated trades. Typically loans are valued using information provided by an independent third party pricing service. If the pricing service cannot or does not provide a valuation for a particular loan or such valuation is deemed unreliable, such loan is fair valued. In determining fair value, consideration is given to several factors, which may include, among others, one or more of the following: the fundamental business data relating to the issuer or borrower; an evaluation of the forces which influence the market in which these loans are purchased and sold; type of holding; financial statements of the borrower; cost at date of purchase; size of holding; credit worthiness and cash flow of issuer; information as to any transactions in, or offers for, the holding; price and extent of public trading in similar securities (or equity securities) of the issuer/borrower, or comparable companies; coupon payments; quality, value and saleability of collateral securing the loan; business prospects of the issuer/borrower, including any ability to obtain money or resources from a parent or affiliate; the portfolio manager’s and/or the market’s assessment of the borrower’s management; prospects for the borrower’s industry, and multiples (of earnings and/or cash flow) being paid for similar businesses in that industry; borrower’s competitive position within the industry; borrower’s ability to access additional liquidity through public and/or private markets; and other relevant factors.

B. Repurchase Agreements – In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Fund’s policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying collateral and that the fair value of the collateral exceed the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all times. If the seller defaults, and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Series may be delayed or limited.

C. Foreign Currency Transactions – The accounting records of the Fund 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 Series. Foreign investments may also subject the Series 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 Fund 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.

Net realized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales of foreign currencies, and the difference between asset and liability amounts initially stated in foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar value of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from changes in the value of portfolio securities other assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period, resulting from changes in the exchange rates.

D. Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts – The Fund may enter into forward foreign exchange contracts in order to manage foreign currency risk from purchase or sale of securities denominated in foreign currency. A series may also enter into such contracts to manage the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on portfolio positions. These contracts are marked to market daily, by recognizing the difference between the contract exchange rate and the current market rate as unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains or losses are recognized when contracts are settled and are reflected in the Statement of Operations. These contracts involve market risk in excess of the amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The face or contract amount in U.S. dollars reflects the total exposure these funds have in that particular currency contract. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. There were no forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding for the period ended June 30, 2010.

E. Futures – The Fund may utilize futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objectives of maintaining full exposure to the underlying stock market, enhancing returns, maintaining liquidity, minimizing transaction costs and economically hedging possible variations in foreign exchange values. The Fund may purchase or sell financial and foreign currency futures contracts to immediately position incoming cash in the market, thereby simulating a fully invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. In the event of redemptions, the series may pay from its cash balances and reduce its future positions accordingly. 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. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of stocks contained in the indexes and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, the series are required to deposit and maintain as collateral either cash or securities, representing the initial margin, equal to a certain percentage of the contract value. Cash deposits are shown as restricted cash on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities; securities held as collateral are noted in the Schedule of Investments. Subsequent changes in the value of the contract are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. The variation margin is paid or received in cash daily by the series. The series realizes a gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires.

F. Options Purchased and Written – The Fund may purchase put and call options and write such options on a covered basis on securities that are traded on recognized securities exchanges and over-the-counter markets. Call and put options on securities give the holder the right to purchase or sell (and the writer the obligation to sell or purchase), respectively, a security at a specified price, until a certain date. Options may be used to economically hedge the series portfolio, to increase returns or to maintain exposure to the equity markets. The primary risks associated with the use of options are an imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the series and the price of the option, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract.

The premium received for a written option is recorded as an asset with an equal liability which is marked to market based on the option’s quoted daily settlement price. Fluctuations in the value of such instruments are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until terminated, at which time realized gains and losses are recognized.

G. Securities Sold Short – Certain of the Series may make short sales “against the box,” in which the Series enters into a short sale of a security it owns. At no time will more than 15% of the value of the Series’ net assets be in deposits on short sales against the box. If a Series makes a short sale, the Series does not immediately deliver from its own account the securities sold and does not receive the proceeds from the sale. To complete the sale, the Series must borrow the security (generally from the broker through which the short sale is made) in order to make delivery to the buyer. The Series 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 Series 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 Series may make short sales that are not “against the box,” which create opportunities to increase the Series’ 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 Series 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Series 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 Series is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to maintain segregated assets consisting of cash, cash equivalents or liquid securities. These segregated assets are valued consistent with Note 1A above. These segregated assets are required to be adjusted daily to reflect changes in the market value of the securities sold short.

H. Senior Loans – Senior loans in which certain of the Series invests generally pay interest rates which are periodically adjusted by reference to short-term, floating rate plus a premium. These base lending rates are generally (i) the lending rate offered by one or more major European banks, such as the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR), (ii) the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks, or (iii) the bank’s certificate of deposit rate. Senior floating rate interests often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The rate at which the borrower repays cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. The interest rate indicated is the rate in effect at June 30, 2010.

I. Security Transactions and Investment Income – Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses are reported on an identified cost basis. Dividend income is accrued as of ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends for foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are recorded as soon as the Series is informed of the dividend in the exercise of reasonable diligence. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis including the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on debt securities.

J. Securities Purchased on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis – The Series may purchase and sell interests in securities on a when-issued and delayed delivery basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. No income accrues to the Fund on such interests or securities in connection with such transactions prior to the date the Fund actually takes delivery of such interests or securities. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and are subject to the risk that the value at delivery may be more or less than the trade date purchase price. Although the Fund will generally purchase these securities with the intention of acquiring such securities, they may sell such securities before the settlement date.

K. Expenses – Expenses that are directly related to one of the Series are charged directly to that Series. Other operating expenses are allocated to the Series on the basis of relative net assets within the Fund.

L. Distributions to Shareholders – Each Series is required by the Internal Revenue Code to distribute substantially all of its income and capital gains to its shareholders. Each year, the Fund 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 Fund’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.

M. Taxes – The Series intend to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and distribute all of their taxable net income and net realized 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 described in the paragraph above. Therefore, no provision for federal or state income tax is required.

The evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Series’ tax returns is required to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. For all open tax years (December 31, 2006 – December 31, 2009) and all major taxing jurisdictions through the end of the reporting period, the Series’ management has completed a review and evaluation and has determined that no tax liability is required and no additional disclosures are needed as of June 30, 2010.

N. Earnings Credits – Under the fee agreement with the custodian, the Series’ may earn credits based on overnight custody cash balances. These credits are utilized to reduce related custodial expenses. The custodian fees disclosed in the Statement of Operations are before the reduction in expense from the related earnings credits, if any.

O. Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

P. Indemnifications – Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its Officers and Directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnification to other parties. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred, and may not occur. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Q. Recent Accounting Pronouncement On January 21, 2010, the FASB issued an ASU, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements which provides guidance on how investment assets and liabilities are to be valued and disclosed. Specifically, the amendment requires reporting entities to disclose: i) the input and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements, for Level 2 or Level 3 positions, ii) transfers between all levels (including Level 1 and Level 2) will be required to be disclosed on a gross basis (i.e. transfers out must be disclosed separately from transfers in) as well as the reason(s) for the transfer, and iii) purchases, sales, issuances and settlements must be shown on a gross basis in the Level 3 rollforward rather than as one net number. The effective date of the amendment is for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, however, the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity for purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010.

8. Derivative Investment Holdings Categorized by Risk Exposure

The following disclosures are intended to enable investors to better understand how and why the Fund uses derivative instruments, how these derivative instruments are accounted for and their effects on the Funds’ financial position and results of operations. None of the derivatives currently held by the Fund are being used as hedging instruments.

The Fund seeks to gain exposure to its respective benchmark by investing in financial-linked derivative instruments, including futures and options on equity securities. The following table represents the notional amount of derivative instruments outstanding, as an approximate percentage of the Fund’s net assets on a daily basis, while the risk to the Fund is limited to the profit earned on such derivatives:

9. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In accordance with FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (ASC 820), 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. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier hierarchy 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 measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

Level 1    -   

quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. The types of assets and liabilities carried at Level 1 fair value generally are government and agency securities, equities listed in active markets, certain futures and certain options.

 

Level 2   

-

  

other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). The types of assets and liabilities carried at Level 2 fair value generally are municipal bonds, certain mortgage and asset-backed securities, certain corporate debt, commercial paper and repurchase agreements.

 

Level 3   

-

   significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The types of assets and liabilities carried at Level 3 fair value generally are certain mortgage and asset-backed securities, certain corporate debt and certain derivatives.

Observable inputs are those based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund, and unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions based on the best information available.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk association with investing in those securities.

The Funds adopted updated provisions surrounding fair value measurements and disclosures effective March 31, 2010. This update applies to the Funds’ disclosures about transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 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 fair value hierarchy.

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 recognized transfers between the Levels as of the end of the period.

As of June 30, 2010, the following Funds had securities transfer from Level 1 to Level 2:

   Short Market

Series D (Global Fund)

     8,018,429      —     

Series Z (Alpha Opportunity Fund)

     326,721      (3,335,642

The fair market value of these securities were adjusted due to developments which occurred between the time of the close of the foreign markets in which they trade and the close of business on the NYSE which resulted in their Level 2 classification. There were no securities that transferred from Level 2 to Level 1.

* 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.

11. Series Z

Series Z - Alpha Opportunity Series (“Series Z”) contracted with Lehman Brothers International Europe (“LBIE”) to provide prime brokerage services related to Series Z’s short selling. On September 15, 2008, LBIE was placed into administration and a third party administrator has been named (the “Administrator”). Series Z’s exposure to LBIE consists of short sale proceeds held by LBIE, and restricted long positions held at Series Z’s custodian, as collateral for said short sales. Series Z has delivered a Notice of Termination of Loans to LBIE and the Administrator. Series Z is working to resolve these issues with LBIE and the Administrator. As of June 30, 2010, included in the statement of net assets are the value of restricted long positions of $7,329,308, restricted cash representing the value of short sale proceeds of $4,187,441 and liabilities for short sales of $7,786,655 representing the value of securities sold short at the date of termination. Until such time as the liability for short sales is settled and all restrictions are removed, Series Z cannot sell such restricted long positions and/or utilize the restricted cash balances to achieve Series Z’s investment objectives and/or meet Series Z’s redemption or other obligations. The liability for short sales recorded at June 30, 2010 may differ from the amounts ultimately due at settlement due to the inherent uncertainties in any such estimation process, including various challenges which could be made in the bankruptcy proceedings. Such differences, if any, will be reported in future periods when additional information is provided by the Administrator and the differences may be material.

12. Other Liabilities

Series A – Equity Series (“Series A”) and Series V – Mid Cap Value Series (“Series V”) 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 Series A or Series V as of June 30, 2010.

Although the ultimate resolution of these transactions is uncertain, Series A and Series V 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 Series A and Series V as of June 30, 2010 was $18,615 for Series A and $205,716 for Series V. Any differences will be reported in future periods when transactions have settled.

13. 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, with the remainder coming from capital transactions. 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 gain on investments and net increase in net assets from operations for the period January 1, 2010 to June 30, 2010 would have been $46,821, $1,527,434 and $22,176,749, respectively. Security Investors, LLC and Series H (Enhanced Index Series) bore one-half of the expenses related to the reorganization.

14. Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated events or transactions that may have occurred since June 30, 2010, that would merit recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Guggenheim SBC Holdings, LLC (“Guggenheim SBC Holdings”), an investor group managed by Guggenheim Partners, LLC (“Guggenheim”), acquired control of Security Benefit Corporation (“SBC”), the parent company of Security Investors, LLC, the Funds’ investment adviser (the “Investment Adviser”) and Security Global Investors, LLC, the sub-adviser to certain of the Funds, pursuant to an agreement between SBC and Guggenheim SBC Holdings. Under the agreement, Guggenheim SBC Holdings received a 100% ownership stake in SBC and consequently acquired control of the Investment Adviser (the “Purchase Transaction”). Guggenheim is a global, independent, privately held, diversified financial services firm with more than $100 billion in assets under supervision. The Purchase Transaction closed on July 30, 2010.

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2010 (unaudited)

 

Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the closing of the Purchase Transaction had the effect of terminating the Funds’ investment advisory agreements with the Investment Adviser and any investment sub-advisory agreements entered on behalf of a Fund (together, the “Previous Agreements”). New investment advisory (“New Investment Advisory Agreements”) and sub-advisory agreements (“New Sub-Advisory Agreements”) were approved by the Board of Directors of the Funds. The New Investment Advisory Agreements were approved by Fund shareholders in a series of special meetings of shareholders. The terms of the New Investment Advisory Agreements and New Sub-Advisory Agreements are substantially identical to the corresponding Previous Agreements, except with respect to the date of execution.

Effective July 30, 2010, the Funds’ distributor, Rydex Distributors, Inc., a Maryland corporation, became Rydex Distributors, LLC, a Kansas limited liability company.

Rydex | SGI Privacy Policies

Rydex Funds, Rydex | SGI Funds, Rydex Investments, Rydex Distributors, LLC, Security Investors, LLC, Security Global Investors, LLC, Security Distributors, Inc. and Rydex Advisory Services (Collectively “Rydex”)

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.
