Example.
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund

with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.



The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods

indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The

Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the

Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although the actual costs may be

higher or lower, based on these assumptions your cost would be:

Portfolio Turnover.
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells

securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may

indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares

are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund

operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. No portfolio

turnover rate is provided for the Fund because the Fund has not yet commenced

operations.
Principal Investment Strategies --
The Fund will normally invest at least 80% (net assets, plus the amount of any

borrowing for investment purposes) of its assets in floating rate senior secured

syndicated bank loans, floating rate revolving credit facilities ("revolvers"),

floating rate unsecured loans, and other floating rate senior secured and

unsecured subordinated bonds. The loans in which the Fund will invest, generally

made by banks and other lending institutions, are made to (or issued by)

corporations, partnerships and other business entities. Floating rate loans

feature rates that reset regularly, maintaining a fixed spread over the London

InterBank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or the prime rates of large money-center banks.

The interest rates for floating rate loans typically reset quarterly, although

rates on some loans may adjust at other intervals.



The Fund invests in other fixed income instruments of various maturities which

may be represented by bonds, debt securities, forwards, or derivatives, such as

options, futures contracts, swap agreements or other similar instruments which

may be fixed or floating rate securities that Guggenheim Partners Asset

Management ("Guggenheim Investments"), the Fund's sub-adviser, believes provide

the potential to deliver a high level of current income. Securities in which the

Fund invests also may include, corporate bonds, convertible securities

(including those that are deemed to be "busted" because they are trading well

below their equity conversion value), floating and fixed rate asset-backed

securities (including collateralized mortgage-backed securities) and

collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs"). The Fund may invest in a variety of

investment vehicles, such as closed-end funds, exchange traded funds ("ETFs")

and other mutual funds.



The Fund may hold securities of any quality, rated or unrated, including those

that are rated below investment grade or, if unrated, determined to be of

comparable quality (also known as "high yield securities" or "junk bonds"). The

Fund may hold below investment grade securities with no limit.



The Fund will principally invest in U.S. dollar denominated loans and other

securities of U.S. companies, but may also invest in U.S. dollar denominated

loans and securities of non-U.S. companies and non-U.S. dollar denominated loans

and securities (e.g., denominated in Euros, British pounds, Swiss francs or

Canadian dollars). Guggenheim Investments may attempt to reduce foreign currency

exchange rate risk by entering into contracts with banks, brokers or dealers to

purchase or sell securities or foreign currencies at a future date ("forward

contracts").



The Fund also may seek certain exposures through derivative transactions,

including foreign exchange forward contracts, futures on securities, indices,

currencies and other investments; options; interest rate swaps, cross-currency

swaps, total return swaps; and credit default swaps, which may also create

economic leverage in the Fund. The Fund may engage in derivative transactions

for speculative purposes to enhance total return, to seek to hedge against

fluctuations in securities prices, interest rates or currency rates, to change

the effective duration of its portfolio, to manage certain investment risks

and/or as a substitute for the purchase or sale of securities or currencies.



The Fund also may engage, without limit, in repurchase agreements, forward

commitments, short sales and securities lending. The fund may, without

limitation, seek to obtain exposure to the securities in which it primarily

invests by entering into a series of purchase and sale contracts or by using

other investment techniques (such as buy backs and or dollar rolls).



Guggenheim Investments' investment philosophy is predicated upon the belief that

thorough research and independent thought are rewarded with performance that has

the potential to outperform benchmark indexes with both lower volatility and

lower correlation of returns as compared to such benchmark indexes.



Guggenheim Investments may determine to sell a security for several reasons

including, the following: (1) to adjust the portfolio's average maturity, or to

shift assets into or out of higher-yielding securities; (2) if a security's

credit rating has been changed or for other credit reasons; (3) to meet

redemption requests; (4) to take gains; or (5) due to relative value. The Fund

will not invest in securities that are in default at the time of investment, but

if a security defaults subsequent to purchase by the Fund, Guggenheim

Investments will determine in its discretion whether to hold or dispose of such

security. Under adverse market conditions (for example, in the event of credit

events, where it is deemed opportune to preserve gains, or to preserve the

relative value of investments), the Fund can make temporary defensive

investments and may not be able to pursue its objective.
Principal Risks --
The value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate and is subject to investment

risks, which means investors could lose money. The principal risks of investing in

the Fund are listed below.



Active Trading Risk. Active trading, also called "high turnover," may have a

negative impact on performance. Active trading may result in higher brokerage

costs or mark-up charges, which are ultimately passed on to shareholders of the

Fund.



Asset-Backed and Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk. Investors in asset-backed

securities, including mortgage-backed securities, generally receive payments

that are part interest and part return of principal. These payments may vary

based on the rate at which the underlying borrowers pay off their loans. Some

asset-backed securities, including mortgage-backed securities, may have

structures that make their reaction to interest rates and other factors

difficult to predict, making their prices very volatile and they are subject to

liquidity risk.



Collateralized Loan Obligations Risk. CLOs are subject to the risk of

substantial losses due to actual defaults, decrease of market value due to

collateral defaults and disappearance of subordinate tranches, market

anticipation of defaults, and investor aversion to CLO securities as a

class. The risks of CLOs depend largely on the type of the underlying loans and

the tranche of CLOs in which the Fund invests. In addition, CLOs carry risks

including interest rate risk, credit risks and default risk. Synthetic CLOs

entail the risks of derivative instruments.



Convertible Securities Risk. The value of convertible securities tends to

decline as interest rates increase. Convertible securities generally offer lower

interest or dividend yields than non-convertible securities of similar quality.

The Fund could lose money if the issuer of a convertible security is unable to

meet its financial obligations or goes bankrupt.



Credit Derivative Transactions Risk. Credit derivative instruments may involve

special risks because they are difficult to value and typically are highly

susceptible to credit risk and may be difficult to sell. In addition, credit

default swap transactions may involve greater risks than if the Fund had

invested in the reference obligation directly.



Credit Risk. The Fund could lose money if the issuer of a bond is unable to

repay interest and principal on time or defaults. The issuer of a bond could

also suffer a decrease in quality rating, which would affect the volatility and

liquidity of the bond.



Currency Risk. The Fund's indirect and direct exposure to foreign currencies

subjects the Fund to the risk that those currencies will decline in value

relative to the U.S. Dollar, which would cause a decline in the U.S. value of

the holdings of the Fund. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate

significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including

changes in interest rates and the imposition of currency controls or other

political, economic and tax developments in the U.S. or abroad.



Derivatives Risk. Derivatives may pose risks in addition to those associated

with investing directly in securities or other investments, including limited

ability to enter into or unwind a position, imperfect correlations with

underlying investments or the Fund's other portfolio holdings, lack of

availability and the risk that the counterparty may default on its obligations.



Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in emerging markets securities are generally

subject to a greater level of those risks associated with investing in foreign

securities, as emerging markets are considered less developed and developing

countries.



Foreign Securities Risk. Foreign securities carry additional risks when compared

to U.S. securities, including currency fluctuations, adverse political and

economic developments, unreliable or untimely information, less liquidity,

limited legal recourse and higher transactional costs.



High Yield Securities Risk. Higher yielding, below investment grade and other

high risk debt securities may present additional risk because these securities

may be less liquid and present more credit risk than investment grade bonds. The

price of high yield securities tends to be more susceptible to issuer-specific

operating results and outlook and to real or perceived adverse economic and

competitive industry conditions.



Interest Rate Risk. Investments in fixed-income securities are subject to the

possibility that interest rates could rise sharply, causing the value of the

Fund's securities and share price to decline. Fixed-income securities with

longer durations are subject to more volatility than those with shorter

durations.



Investment in Investment Vehicles Risk. Investing in other investment vehicles,

including ETFs, closed-end funds and other funds, subjects the Fund to those

risks affecting the investment vehicle, including the possibility that the value

of the underlying securities held by the investment vehicle could decrease.

Moreover, the Fund and its shareholders will incur its pro rata share of the

underlying vehicles' expenses.



Investments in Syndicated Bank Loans Risk. Investments in syndicated bank loans

involve special types of risks, including credit risk, interest rate risk,

liquidity risk and prepayment risk. Syndicated bank loans generally offer a

floating interest rate. Syndicated bank loans may decline in value if their

interest rates do not rise as much or as fast as interest rates in general.



Leverage Risk. The Fund's use of leverage (through instruments such as

derivatives) may cause the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been

leveraged. Leverage can arise through the use of derivatives and unfunded

commitments.



Liquidity Risk. Investments are subject to liquidity risk when they are

difficult to purchase or sell.



Management Risk. The Fund is actively managed. There is no guarantee that the

investment strategies will be successful.



Market Risk. The market value of the securities held by the Fund may fluctuate

resulting from factors affecting the individual company or other factors such as

changing economic, political or financial market conditions.



Options and Futures Risk. Options and futures may sometimes reduce returns or

increase volatility. They also may entail transactional expenses.



Prepayment Risk. Securities subject to prepayment risk generally offer less

potential for gains when interest rates decline, because issuers of the

securities may be able to prepay the principal due on the securities, and may

offer a greater potential for loss when interest rates rise.



Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in securities of real estate

companies and companies related to the real estate industry, including real

estate investment trusts ("REITs"), which are subject to the same risks as

direct investments in real estate. The real estate industry is particularly

sensitive to economic downturns.



Repurchase Agreement and Reverse Repurchase Agreement Risk. In the event of the

insolvency of the counterparty to a repurchase agreement or reverse repurchase

agreement, recovery of the repurchase price owed to the Fund or, in the case of

a reverse repurchase agreement, the securities sold by the Fund, may be delayed.



Because reverse repurchase agreements may be considered to be the practical

equivalent of borrowing funds, they constitute a form of leverage. If the Fund

reinvests the proceeds of a reverse repurchase agreement at a rate lower than

the cost of the agreement, entering into the agreement will lower the Fund's

yield.



Restricted Securities Risk. Restricted securities generally cannot be sold to

the public and may involve a high degree of business, financial and liquidity

risk, which may result in substantial losses to the Fund.
