Class A | SAOAX

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24

This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim Alpha Opportunity Fund for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024.

This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.

What were the fund costs for the last year?¹

(Based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)

Class	Costs of a $10,000 Investment	Costs Paid as a % of a $10,000 Investment
Class A	$186	1.73%

¹ Excludes expenses of the underlying funds in which the fund invests, if any.

How did the fund perform over the last year?*

For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class A shares) returned 14.64%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 36.35% for the same period and outperforming the fund's secondary index, the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, which returned 5.49% for the same period.

The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index to the S&P 500 Index to comply with the regulation that requires the fund's broad-based securities market index to represent the overall applicable market.

What factors materially affected the fund's performance over the last year?

The global growth outlook remained modestly bullish and steady during the reporting period, while inflation seemed to be finally tamed, resulting in a 50 basis point rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve in September and potentially up to two more by the end of 2024. This optimism helped the S&P 500 Index gain more than 36% during the reporting period. The fund significantly outperformed the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index. Among the fundamental factors, the fund's exposure in higher profitability, lower volatility, and higher momentum names paid off well. The overall contribution of the industry tilts (overweights/underweights) was moderate, whereas security selection was quite strong.

How did the fund perform over the last 10 years?

The performance data above represents past performance that is not predictive of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the fund will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Returns are historical and include changes in principal and reinvested dividends and capital gains and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. The S&P 500 Index and the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index are unmanaged indices and, unlike the fund, have no management fees or operating expenses to reduce their reported returns.

Class A	$125	1.12%

¹ Excludes expenses of the underlying funds in which the fund invests, if any.

How did the fund perform over the last year?*

For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class A shares) returned 23.55%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 36.35% for the same period and underperforming the fund's secondary index, the Russell 1000 Value Index, which returned 27.76% for the same period.

The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the Russell 1000 Value Index to the S&P 500 Index to comply with the regulation that requires the fund's broad-based securities market index to represent the overall applicable market.

What factors materially affected the fund's performance over the last year?

The fund lagged the Russell 1000 Value Index (the fund's ancillary index) due to sector allocation, as an overweight to the Energy sector, the worst performing sector, and an underweight to the Industrials sector, hurt results. An overweight to the Utilities sector, which was one of the best performing sectors during the reporting period, benefited performance. The largest individual detractor for the fund was Humana, Inc., a health insurance provider whose profitability suffered as industry competition increased along with patients' claims. Positive selection within the Technology sector, which benefited from AI-driven investment, contributed to performance.

How did the fund perform over the last 10 years?

Cumulative performance* for the fund's most recently completed 10 years (as of 9.30.24), assuming a $10,000 initial investment.

This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.

What were the fund costs for the last year?¹

(Based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)

Class	Costs of a $10,000 Investment	Costs Paid as a % of a $10,000 Investment
Class C	$208	1.87%

¹ Excludes expenses of the underlying funds in which the fund invests, if any.

How did the fund perform over the last year?*

For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class C shares) returned 22.63%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 36.35% for the same period and underperforming the fund's secondary index, the Russell 1000 Value Index, which returned 27.76% for the same period.

The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the Russell 1000 Value Index to the S&P 500 Index to comply with the regulation that requires the fund's broad-based securities market index to represent the overall applicable market.

What factors materially affected the fund's performance over the last year?

The fund lagged the Russell 1000 Value Index (the fund's ancillary index) due to sector allocation, as an overweight to the Energy sector, the worst performing sector, and an underweight to the Industrials sector, hurt results. An overweight to the Utilities sector, which was one of the best performing sectors during the reporting period, benefited performance. The largest individual detractor for the fund was Humana, Inc., a health insurance provider whose profitability suffered as industry competition increased along with patients' claims. Positive selection within the Technology sector, which benefited from AI-driven investment, contributed to performance.

How did the fund perform over the last 10 years?

The investment return and principal value of an investment in the fund will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Returns are historical and include changes in principal and reinvested dividends and capital gains and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. The S&P 500 Index and the Russell 1000 Value Index are unmanaged indices and, unlike the fund, have no management fees or operating expenses to reduce their reported returns.

Fund returns include a CDSC of 1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase.

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24

This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim Market Neutral Real Estate Fund for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024. You can find additional information about the fund at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature. You can also request this information by contacting 800 820 0888 or GuggenheimClientServices@mufg-is.com.

This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.

What were the fund costs for the last year?¹

(Based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)

Class	Costs of a $10,000 Investment	Costs Paid as a % of a $10,000 Investment
Institutional Class	$139	1.38%

¹ Excludes expenses of the underlying funds in which the fund invests, if any.

How did the fund perform over the last year?*

For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Institutional Class shares) returned 1.69%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 36.35% for the same period and underperforming the fund's secondary index, the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, which returned 5.49% for the same period.

The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index to the S&P 500 Index to comply with the regulation that requires the fund's broad-based securities market index to represent the overall applicable market.

What factors materially affected the fund's performance over the last year?

The global growth outlook remained modestly bullish and steady during the reporting period, while inflation seemed to be finally tamed, resulting in a 50 basis point rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve in September and potentially up to two more by the end of 2024. The fund underperformed the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index. Among REITs Sectors, the fund had negative contribution from Residential, Net Lease, and Industrial. This was slightly offset by positive contribution in Lodging, Data Center, and Strip Retail.

Class A	$194	1.70%

¹ Excludes expenses of the underlying funds in which the fund invests, if any.

How did the fund perform over the last year?*

For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class A shares) returned 28.31%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 36.35% for the same period and underperforming the fund's secondary index, the FTSE NAREIT Equity REITs Total Return Index, which returned 34.74% for the same period.

The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the FTSE NAREIT Equity REITs Index to the S&P 500 Index to comply with the regulation that requires the fund's broad-based securities market index to represent the overall applicable market.

What factors materially affected the fund's performance over the last year?

The global growth outlook remained modestly bullish and steady during the reporting period, while inflation seemed to be finally tamed, resulting in a 50 basis point rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve in September and potentially up to two more by the end of 2024. This optimism helped the FTSE Nareit Equity REITS Index (the Fund's ancillary index) to gain more than 34%. The fund underperformed the FTSE Nareit Equity REITS Index. Of the fund's three potential alpha sources (long-only portfolio, long/short portfolio, REIT risk allocation model), two of the three contributed negatively to performance. The long sleeve underperformed the index, while the long/short sleeve contributed to the fund's return. The risk allocation model detracted from return as the index performed strongly during the last quarter of the year versus the roughly 91% beta exposure of the fund (which is typical neutral positioning for the fund).

Guggenheim SMid Cap Value Fund

Class A | SEVAX

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24

This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim SMid Cap Value Fund for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024. You can find additional information about the fund at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature. You can also request this information by contacting 800 820 0888 or GuggenheimClientServices@mufg-is.com.

This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.

What were the fund costs for the last year?¹

(Based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)

Class	Costs of a $10,000 Investment	Costs Paid as a % of a $10,000 Investment
Class A	$133	1.20%

¹ Excludes expenses of the underlying funds in which the fund invests, if any.

How did the fund perform over the last year?*

For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class A shares) returned 21.25%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 36.35% for the same period and underperforming the fund's secondary index, the Russell 2500 Value Index, which returned 26.59% for the same period.

The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the Russell 2500 Value Index to the S&P 500 Index to comply with the regulation that requires the fund's broad-based securities market index to represent the overall applicable market.

What factors materially affected the fund's performance over the last year?

The fund lagged the Russell 2500 Value Index (the fund's ancillary index). While poor performance from smaller positions such as LivePerson, Inc., Luna Innovations, and Ginkgo Bioworks were the largest negative contributors, none detracted from performance by more than 45 basis points. Sector allocation was a larger detractor from performance, especially an overweighting in the Energy sector. Positive contributors included selection in Financials and Industrials as Jeffries Financial, Stifel Financial, PGTI, and Leidos all gained more than 50% during the period. Performance was subdued relative to equity indexes such as the S&P 500 Index which benefited from AI-driven large cap technology growth stocks.

How did the fund perform over the last year?*

For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class A shares) returned 37.38%, outperforming the fund's benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 36.35% for the same period.

What factors materially affected the fund's performance over the last year?

The equity sleeve was allocated 15%-25% to actively managed equity and 75%-85% to passive equity. Relative to the fund's benchmark, the active equity sleeve contributed to performance. The passive equity component, which accounted for most of the fund's exposure to the broad equity market, consisted of equity index swaps and equity index futures, and generated performance roughly in line with fund's benchmark (before costs associated with derivatives); the active fixed income sleeve generated excess returns over the costs of equity index derivatives.

This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.

What were the fund costs for the last year?¹

(Based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)

Class	Costs of a $10,000 Investment	Costs Paid as a % of a $10,000 Investment
Class C	$293	2.48%

¹ Excludes expenses of the underlying funds in which the fund invests, if any.

How did the fund perform over the last year?*

For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class C shares) returned 36.17%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 36.35% for the same period.

What factors materially affected the fund's performance over the last year?

The equity sleeve was allocated 15%-25% to actively managed equity and 75%-85% to passive equity. Relative to the fund's benchmark, the active equity sleeve contributed to performance. The passive equity component, which accounted for most of the fund's exposure to the broad equity market, consisted of equity index swaps and equity index futures, and generated performance roughly in line with fund's benchmark (before costs associated with derivatives); the active fixed income sleeve generated excess returns over the costs of equity index derivatives.

The investment return and principal value of an investment in the fund will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Returns are historical and include changes in principal and reinvested dividends and capital gains and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index and, unlike the fund, has no management fees or operating expenses to reduce its reported return.

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24

This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim StylePlus—Mid Growth Fund for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024. You can find additional information about the fund at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature. You can also request this information by contacting 800 820 0888 or GuggenheimClientServices@mufg-is.com.

This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.

What were the fund costs for the last year?¹

(Based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)

Class	Costs of a $10,000 Investment	Costs Paid as a % of a $10,000 Investment
Institutional Class	$169	1.46%

¹ Excludes expenses of the underlying funds in which the fund invests, if any.

How did the fund perform over the last year?*

For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Institutional Class shares) returned 31.84%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 36.35% for the same period and outperforming the fund's secondary index, the Russell Midcap Growth Index, which returned 29.33% for the same period.

The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the Russell Midcap Growth Index to the S&P 500 Index to comply with the regulation that requires the fund's broad-based securities market index to represent the overall applicable market.

What factors materially affected the fund's performance over the last year?

The fund outperformed the Russell Midcap Growth Index (the "Index") for the reporting period. The equity sleeve was allocated 15%-25% to actively managed equity and 75%-85% to passive equity. Relative to the Index, the active equity sleeve contributed to performance. The passive equity component, which accounted for most of the fund's exposure to the broad equity market, consisted of equity index swaps and equity index futures, and generated performance roughly in line with the Index (before costs associated with derivatives); the active fixed income sleeve generated excess returns over the costs of equity index derivatives.

How did the fund perform over the last 10 years?

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24

This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim Active INvestment Series (GAINS)-Core Plus Fund for the period of August 14, 2024 (the commencement of operations) to September 30, 2024. You can find additional information about the fund at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature. You can also request this information by contacting 800 820 0888 or GuggenheimClientServices@mufg-is.com.

This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.

SMA Class	$0	0.00%

¹ Excludes expenses of the underlying funds in which the fund invests, if any.

How did the fund perform over the last year?*

For the period of August 14, 2024 (the commencement of operations) to September 30, 2024, the fund (SMA Class shares) returned 0.92%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 1.28% for the same period.

What factors materially affected the fund's performance over the last year?

The fund's positive performance was driven by carry (or earned income), while duration and credit were minor contributors. The fund benefited from its allocation to high yield corporates as spreads in the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index tightened by 50 basis points since the inception of the fund. The allocation is concentrated towards shorter maturity debt of higher credit quality issuers, which we believe offers attractive total return opportunities as issuers take advantage of an accommodating capital markets environment and refinance debt early.

Class A	$88	0.83%

¹ Excludes expenses of the underlying funds in which the fund invests, if any.

How did the fund perform over the last year?*

For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class A shares) returned 12.27%, outperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 11.57% for the same period.

What factors materially affected the fund's performance over the last year?

The fund's relative outperformance against the benchmark was primarily driven by sector allocation, security selection, and the fund's carry (or earned income) advantage. The fund benefited from an overweight allocation to credit, as spreads tightened materially across the broader category. Performance from credit spread tightening in agency residential mortgage-backed securities and investment grade corporates were large drivers of absolute performance, while out-of-benchmark allocations like structured credit drove most of the relative outperformance. Duration was a large driver of absolute performance given the bull steepening move in U.S. yields.

Guggenheim Core Bond Fund

Institutional Class | GIUSX

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24

This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim Core Bond Fund for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024. You can find additional information about the fund at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature. You can also request this information by contacting 800 820 0888 or GuggenheimClientServices@mufg-is.com.

This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.

What were the fund costs for the last year?¹

(Based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)

Class	Costs of a $10,000 Investment	Costs Paid as a % of a $10,000 Investment
Institutional Class	$56	0.53%

¹ Excludes expenses of the underlying funds in which the fund invests, if any.

How did the fund perform over the last year?*

For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Institutional Class shares) returned 12.61%, outperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 11.57% for the same period.

What factors materially affected the fund's performance over the last year?

The fund's relative outperformance against the benchmark was primarily driven by sector allocation, security selection, and the fund's carry (or earned income) advantage. The fund benefited from an overweight allocation to credit, as spreads tightened materially across the broader category. Performance from credit spread tightening in agency residential mortgage-backed securities and investment grade corporates were large drivers of absolute performance, while out-of-benchmark allocations like structured credit drove most of the relative outperformance. Duration was a large driver of absolute performance given the bull steepening move in U.S. yields.

How did the fund perform over the last 10 years?

Class	Costs of a $10,000 Investment	Costs Paid as a % of a $10,000 Investment
Class A	$106	1.02%

¹ Excludes expenses of the underlying funds in which the fund invests, if any.

How did the fund perform over the last year?*

For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class A shares) returned 7.41%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 11.57% for the same period and underperforming the fund's secondary index, the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index, which returned 9.65% for the same period.

The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index to the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index to comply with the regulation that requires the fund's broad-based securities market index to represent the overall applicable market.

What factors materially affected the fund's performance over the last year?

Above-average returns for both the fund and the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index (the "Index") continued to be driven by high all-in coupon rates. Loan demand, driven by record collateralized loan obligation issuance, continued to outpace net new loan issuance. Loan issuance has increased during 2024, but remains predominantly opportunistic (refinancings/repricings); new money M&A volume remains lackluster. Loan issuer fundamentals have remained in-line with historical averages given strong starting levels and resilient earnings growth, although we have continued to see tail-risk in the market. Loans spreads have tightened this year but all-in yields have remained above historical averages. Comparing the fund to the Index, idiosyncratic credit issues in the Communications and Consumer sectors were the primary detractors to relative performance during the reporting period. Credit selection in the Technology sector and the fund's high-yield bond allocation were contributors to performance during the period.

How did the fund perform over the last year?*

For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Institutional Class shares) returned 7.66%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 11.57% for the same period and underperforming the fund's secondary index, the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index, which returned 9.65% for the same period.

The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index to the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index to comply with the regulation that requires the fund's broad-based securities market index to represent the overall applicable market.

What factors materially affected the fund's performance over the last year?

Above-average returns for both the fund and the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index (the "Index") continued to be driven by high all-in coupon rates. Loan demand, driven by record collateralized loan obligation issuance, continued to outpace net new loan issuance. Loan issuance has increased during 2024, but remains predominantly opportunistic (refinancings/repricings); new money M&A volume remains lackluster. Loan issuer fundamentals have remained in-line with historical averages given strong starting levels and resilient earnings growth, although we have continued to see tail-risk in the market. Loans spreads have tightened this year but all-in yields have remained above historical averages. Comparing the fund to the Index, idiosyncratic credit issues in the Communications and Consumer sectors were the primary detractors to relative performance during the reporting period. Credit selection in the Technology sector and the fund's high-yield bond allocation were contributors to performance during the period.

How did the fund perform over the last year?*

For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class A shares) returned 14.08%, outperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 11.57% for the same period and underperforming the fund's secondary index, the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Index, which returned 15.74% for the same period.

Overall, lower financing costs spurred heavy new issuance volume while strong market conditions resulted in tightening credit spreads. The primary contributors to the fund's performance were exposure to higher quality BB-credit and solid credit selection in the Communications sector. The primary detractor was the fund's exposure to bank loans, which significantly underperformed high yield for the period.

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24

This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim High Yield Fund for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024. You can find additional information about the fund at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature. You can also request this information by contacting 800 820 0888 or GuggenheimClientServices@mufg-is.com.

This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.

What were the fund costs for the last year?¹

(Based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)

Class	Costs of a $10,000 Investment	Costs Paid as a % of a $10,000 Investment
Institutional Class	$83	0.77%

¹ Excludes expenses of the underlying funds in which the fund invests, if any.

How did the fund perform over the last year?*

For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Institutional Class shares) returned 14.40%, outperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 11.57% for the same period and underperforming the fund's secondary index, the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Index, which returned 15.74% for the same period.

The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Index to the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index to comply with the regulation that requires the fund's broad-based securities market index to represent the overall applicable market.

What factors materially affected the fund's performance over the last year?

Overall, lower financing costs spurred heavy new issuance volume while strong market conditions resulted in tightening credit spreads. The primary contributors to the fund's performance were exposure to higher quality BB-credit and solid credit selection in the Communications sector. The primary detractor was the fund's exposure to bank loans, which significantly underperformed high yield for the period.

How did the fund perform over the last 10 years?

Class A	$78	0.75%

¹ Excludes expenses of the underlying funds in which the fund invests, if any.

How did the fund perform over the last year?*

For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class A shares) returned 8.96%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 11.57% for the same period and outperforming the fund's secondary index, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond 1-3 Year Total Return Index, which returned 7.23% for the same period.

The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond 1-3 Year Total Return Index to the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index to comply with the regulation that requires the fund's broad-based securities market index to represent the overall applicable market.

What factors materially affected the fund's performance over the last year?

The fund's relative outperformance against the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond 1-3 Year Total Return Index (the fund's ancillary index) was primarily driven by sector allocation, security selection, and the fund's carry (or earned income) advantage. The fund benefited from its structured credit allocation, which includes various subsectors of asset-backed securities, collateralized loan obligations, non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities and non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities, as prices moved higher on both lower interest rates and tighter credit spreads. This followed increased market optimism on the potential for a soft landing given disinflationary trends and resilient economic data. Security selection within investment grade corporates was a key contributor to performance as the fund's investment grade corporate holdings outperformed the Index by 1.2%.

Guggenheim Limited Duration Fund

Class P | GILPX

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24

This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim Limited Duration Fund for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024. You can find additional information about the fund at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature. You can also request this information by contacting 800 820 0888 or GuggenheimClientServices@mufg-is.com.

This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.

What were the fund costs for the last year?¹

(Based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)

Class	Costs of a $10,000 Investment	Costs Paid as a % of a $10,000 Investment
Class P	$78	0.75%

¹ Excludes expenses of the underlying funds in which the fund invests, if any.

How did the fund perform over the last year?*

For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class P shares) returned 8.96%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 11.57% for the same period and outperforming the fund's secondary index, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond 1-3 Year Total Return Index, which returned 7.23% for the same period.

The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond 1-3 Year Total Return Index to the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index to comply with the regulation that requires the fund's broad-based securities market index to represent the overall applicable market.

What factors materially affected the fund's performance over the last year?

The fund's relative outperformance against the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond 1-3 Year Total Return Index (the fund's ancillary index) was primarily driven by sector allocation, security selection, and the fund's carry (or earned income) advantage. The fund benefited from its structured credit allocation, which includes various subsectors of asset-backed securities, collateralized loan obligations, non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities and non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities, as prices moved higher on both lower interest rates and tighter credit spreads. This followed increased market optimism on the potential for a soft landing given disinflationary trends and resilient economic data. Security selection within investment grade corporates was a key contributor to performance as the fund's investment grade corporate holdings outperformed the Index by 1.2%.

How did the fund perform over the last year?*

For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class A shares) returned 11.92%, outperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 11.57% for the same period and outperforming the fund's secondary index, the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, which returned 5.49% for the same period.

The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index to the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index to comply with the regulation that requires the fund's broad-based securities market index to represent the overall applicable market.

What factors materially affected the fund's performance over the last year?

The fund's positive performance was driven by credit positioning, duration, and carry (or earned income). The fund benefited from its allocation to high yield corporates as spreads in the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index tightened by 99 basis points amid increased market optimism on the potential for a soft landing given disinflationary trends and resilient economic data. Security selection within high yield corporates, collateralized loan obligations, and asset-backed securities was a key contributor to performance as the fund's holdings outperformed representative indices for each of these sectors by 2.0%, 2.6%, and 3.9%, respectively.

This is a summary of certain changes to the fund since September 30, 2023. For more complete information, you may review the fund's next prospectus, which we expect to be available by January 31, 2025 at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature or, by calling 800 820 0888.

The fund's (Class A shares) net expense ratio, which reflects expense waivers and reimbursements and includes certain expenses that are outside of the contractual expense limit, was 1.25% for the year ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of 0.19% compared to the prior year. The primary driver of the decrease was a decrease in interest expense as the fund did not utilize reverse repurchase agreements during the reporting period.

The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index to the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index to comply with the regulation that requires the fund's broad-based securities market index to represent the overall applicable market.

What factors materially affected the fund's performance over the last year?

The fund's positive performance was driven by credit positioning, duration, and carry (or earned income). The fund benefited from its allocation to high yield corporates as spreads in the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index tightened by 99 basis points amid increased market optimism on the potential for a soft landing given disinflationary trends and resilient economic data. Security selection within high yield corporates, collateralized loan obligations, and asset-backed securities was a key contributor to performance as the fund's holdings outperformed representative indices for each of these sectors by 2.0%, 2.6%, and 3.9%, respectively.

The investment return and principal value of an investment in the fund will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Returns are historical and include changes in principal and reinvested dividends and capital gains and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index are unmanaged indices and, unlike the fund, have no management fees or operating expenses to reduce their reported returns.

‡

Fund returns include a CDSC of 1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase.

¹ Excludes expenses of the underlying funds in which the fund invests, if any.

How did the fund perform over the last year?*

For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class A shares) returned 11.10%, outperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index, which returned 10.37% for the same period.

What factors materially affected the fund's performance over the last year?

The fund's relative outperformance was driven by duration positioning and tighter spreads.  School districts and healthcare were the two largest sector allocations and the top two contributors to total return during the year.  Security selection in most sectors helped relative returns.  Tax exempt agency mortgage-backed securities modestly contributed to performance, a welcome reversal from prior periods.

The investment return and principal value of an investment in the fund will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Returns are historical and include changes in principal and reinvested dividends and capital gains and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. The Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index and, unlike the fund, has no management fees or operating expenses to reduce its reported returns.

Effective October 1, 2015, the maximum sales charge decreased from 4.75% to 4.00%. A 4.75% maximum sales charge is used in the calculation of the Average Annual Returns based on subscriptions made prior to October 1, 2015, and a 4.00% maximum sales charge is used to calculate performance for periods based on subscriptions made on or after October 1, 2015.

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24

This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim Municipal Income Fund for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024. You can find additional information about the fund at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature. You can also request this information by contacting 800 820 0888 or GuggenheimClientServices@mufg-is.com.

This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.

Class	Costs of a $10,000 Investment	Costs Paid as a % of a $10,000 Investment
Class C	$162	1.54%

¹ Excludes expenses of the underlying funds in which the fund invests, if any.

How did the fund perform over the last year?*

For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class C shares) returned 10.38%, outperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index, which returned 10.37% for the same period.

What factors materially affected the fund's performance over the last year?

The fund's relative outperformance was driven by duration positioning and tighter spreads.  School districts and healthcare were the two largest sector allocations and the top two contributors to total return during the year.  Security selection in most sectors helped relative returns.  Tax exempt agency mortgage-backed securities modestly contributed to performance, a welcome reversal from prior periods.

This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim Total Return Bond Fund for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024. You can find additional information about the fund at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature. You can also request this information by contacting 800 820 0888 or GuggenheimClientServices@mufg-is.com.

Class	Costs of a $10,000 Investment	Costs Paid as a % of a $10,000 Investment
Class A	$89	0.84%

¹ Excludes expenses of the underlying funds in which the fund invests, if any.

How did the fund perform over the last year?*

For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class A shares) returned 13.04%, outperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 11.57% for the same period.

What factors materially affected the fund's performance over the last year?

The fund's relative outperformance was primarily driven by sector allocation, security selection, and the fund's carry (or earned income) advantage over the benchmark. The fund benefited from an overweight allocation to credit, as spreads tightened materially across the broader category. Performance from credit spread tightening in agency residential mortgage-backed securities and investment grade corporates were large drivers of absolute performance, while out-of-benchmark allocations like high yield corporates and structured credit drove most of the relative outperformance. Duration was a large driver of absolute performance given the bull steepening move in U.S. yields.

How did the fund perform over the last 10 years?

Cumulative performance* for the fund's most recently completed 10 years (as of 9.30.24), assuming a $10,000 initial investment.

Effective October 1, 2015, the maximum sales charge decreased from 4.75% to 4.00%. A 4.75% maximum sales charge is used in the calculation of the Average Annual Returns based on subscriptions made prior to October 1, 2015, and a 4.00% maximum sales charge is used to calculate performance for periods based on subscriptions made on or after October 1, 2015.

The fund's (Class A shares) net expense ratio, which reflects expense waivers and reimbursements and includes certain expenses that are outside of the contractual expense limit, was 0.84% for the year ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of 0.07% compared to the prior year. The primary driver of the decrease was a decrease in interest expense as the fund utilized fewer reverse repurchase agreements during the reporting period.

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24

This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim Total Return Bond Fund for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024. You can find additional information about the fund at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature. You can also request this information by contacting 800 820 0888 or GuggenheimClientServices@mufg-is.com.

This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.

What were the fund costs for the last year?¹

(Based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)

Class	Costs of a $10,000 Investment	Costs Paid as a % of a $10,000 Investment
Class C	$170	1.60%

¹ Excludes expenses of the underlying funds in which the fund invests, if any.

How did the fund perform over the last year?*

For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class C shares) returned 12.25%, outperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 11.57% for the same period.

What factors materially affected the fund's performance over the last year?

The fund's relative outperformance was primarily driven by sector allocation, security selection, and the fund's carry (or earned income) advantage over the benchmark. The fund benefited from an overweight allocation to credit, as spreads tightened materially across the broader category. Performance from credit spread tightening in agency residential mortgage-backed securities and investment grade corporates were large drivers of absolute performance, while out-of-benchmark allocations like high yield corporates and structured credit drove most of the relative outperformance. Duration was a large driver of absolute performance given the bull steepening move in U.S. yields.

How did the fund perform over the last 10 years?

The performance data above represents past performance that is not predictive of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the fund will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Returns are historical and include changes in principal and reinvested dividends and capital gains and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index and, unlike the fund, has no management fees or operating expenses to reduce its reported return.

Fund returns include a CDSC of 1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase.

Guggenheim Ultra Short Duration Fund

Class A | GIYAX

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24

This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim Ultra Short Duration Fund for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024. You can find additional information about the fund at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature. You can also request this information by contacting 800 820 0888 or GuggenheimClientServices@mufg-is.com.

This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.

(Based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)

Class	Costs of a $10,000 Investment	Costs Paid as a % of a $10,000 Investment
Class A	$61	0.59%

¹ Excludes expenses of the underlying funds in which the fund invests, if any.

How did the fund perform over the last year?*

For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class A shares) returned 8.16%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 11.57% for the same period and outperforming the fund's secondary index, the Bloomberg 1-3 Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, which returned 5.52% for the same period.

The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the Bloomberg 1-3 Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index to the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index to comply with the regulation that requires the fund's broad-based securities market index to represent the overall applicable market.

What factors materially affected the fund's performance over the last year?

The fund's positive performance was driven by credit positioning, duration, and carry (or earned income). The fund benefited from its diverse structured credit allocation, which includes asset-backed securities, collateralized loan obligations, non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities and non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities, as prices moved higher following increased market optimism on the potential for a soft landing given disinflationary trends and resilient economic data.

Guggenheim Ultra Short Duration Fund

Institutional Class | GIYIX

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24

This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim Ultra Short Duration Fund for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024. You can find additional information about the fund at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature. You can also request this information by contacting 800 820 0888 or GuggenheimClientServices@mufg-is.com.

This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.

What were the fund costs for the last year?¹

(Based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)

Class	Costs of a $10,000 Investment	Costs Paid as a % of a $10,000 Investment
Institutional Class	$34	0.33%

¹ Excludes expenses of the underlying funds in which the fund invests, if any.

How did the fund perform over the last year?*

For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Institutional Class shares) returned 8.43%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 11.57% for the same period and outperforming the fund's secondary index, the Bloomberg 1-3 Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, which returned 5.52% for the same period.

The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the Bloomberg 1-3 Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index to the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index to comply with the regulation that requires the fund's broad-based securities market index to represent the overall applicable market.

What factors materially affected the fund's performance over the last year?

The fund's positive performance was driven by credit positioning, duration, and carry (or earned income). The fund benefited from its diverse structured credit allocation, which includes asset-backed securities, collateralized loan obligations, non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities and non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities, as prices moved higher following increased market optimism on the potential for a soft landing given disinflationary trends and resilient economic data. Duration was a considerable contributor to performance as 2-year and 3-year Treasury yields fell 140 basis points and 125 basis points, respectively, following softer Consumer Price Index ("CPI") reports.

How did the fund perform over the last 10 years?

Cumulative performance* for the fund's most recently completed 10 years (as of 9.30.24), assuming a $2,000,000 initial investment.

Average Annual Total Returns* as of 9.30.24

	One Year	Five Years	Ten Years
Institutional Class Shares	8.43%	3.03%	2.37%
Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index	11.57%	0.33%	1.84%
Bloomberg 1-3 Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index	5.52%	2.33%	1.63%

Prior to November 30, 2018, performance for Institutional Class shares reflects the performance of the Guggenheim Strategy Fund I, which did not charge a management fee and was not publicly offered as a separate investment product.

(b) Not applicable

Item 2. Code of Ethics.

The registrant’s Board of Trustees has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer. No substantive amendments were approved or waivers were granted to the code of ethics during the period covered by this report. The code of ethics is filed as an exhibit to this Form N-CSR.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

The registrant's Board of Trustees has determined that it has at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee (the “Audit Committee”), Sandra G. Sponem. Ms. Sponem is “independent,” meaning that she is not an “interested person” of the registrant (as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act) and she does not accept any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the registrant (except in her capacity as a Board or committee member).

(Under applicable securities laws, a person who is determined to be an audit committee financial expert will not be deemed an "expert" for any purpose, including without limitation for the purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as a result of being designated or identified as an audit committee financial expert. The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or liabilities that are greater than the duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the Audit Committee and Board of Trustees in the absence of such designation or identification. The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of the audit committee or Board of Trustees.)

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

(a) Audit Fees: the aggregate Audit Fees billed by the registrant’s principal accountant for professional services rendered for the audit of the annual financial statements, or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements were $706,919 and $705,059 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.

(b) Audit-Related Fees: the aggregate Audit-Related Fees billed by the registrant’s principal accountant for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the registrant’s financial statements and are not reported under paragraph (a) of this Item 4 were $14,906 and $0 for fiscal years ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.

(c) Tax Fees: the aggregate Tax Fees billed by the registrant’s principal accountant for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning including preparation of tax returns and distribution assistance were 226,776 and $260,077 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. These services consisted of (i) preparation of U.S. federal, state and excise tax returns; (ii) U.S. federal and state tax planning, advice and assistance regarding statutory, regulatory or administrative developments, (iii) tax advice regarding tax qualification matters and/or treatment of various financial instruments held or proposed to be acquired and (iv) review of U.S. federal excise distribution calculations.

(d) All Other Fees: the aggregate All Other Fees billed by the registrant’s principal accountant for products and services provided by the principal accountant, other than the services reported in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this Item 4, were $0 and $0 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.

(e) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures.

(1) The registrant’s pre-approval policy requires the Audit Committee to pre-approve any engagement of the registrant’s independent auditors to provide any services, other than “prohibited non-audit services,” to the registrant, including the fees and other compensation to be paid to the independent auditors (unless an exception is available under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X). The independent auditors or the Chief Accounting Officer of the registrant (or an officer of the registrant who reports to the Chief Accounting Officer) report to the Audit Committee at each of its regular scheduled meetings all audit, audit-related and permissible non-audit services initiated since the last such report (unless the services were contained in the initial audit plan, as previously presented to, and approved by, the Audit Committee). The report includes a general description of the services and projected fees, and the means by which such services were approved by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is also required to pre-approve any engagement of the registrant’s independent auditors, including the fees and other compensation to be paid to the independent auditors, to provide any non-audit services to the registrant’s investment adviser (or any “control affiliate” of the investment adviser providing ongoing services to the registrant), if the engagement relates directly to the operations or financial reporting of the registrant (unless an exception is available under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X).

(2) None of the services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d) were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

(f) Not applicable.

(g) Non-Audit Fees. The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant's accountant for the most recent fiscal year and the preceding years for services rendered to the registrant, the investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant were $241,682 and $260,077, respectively. These aggregate fees were less than the aggregate fees billed for the same periods by the registrant’s principal accountant for audit services rendered to the registrant, the investment advisor, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the advisor that provides ongoing services to the registrant.

(h) Auditor Independence. The registrant’s Audit Committee was provided with information relating to the provision of non-audit services by Ernst & Young, LLP to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved by the Audit Committee so that a determination could be made whether the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining Ernst & Young, LLP’s independence.

(i) Not applicable.

(j) Not applicable.

Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants.

(a) Not applicable to this registrant.

(b) Not applicable to this registrant

Item 6. Investments.

* Inputs are weighted by the fair value of the instruments.

Significant changes in a quote, yield, or liquidation value would generally result in significant changes in the fair value of the security. Any remaining Level 3 securities held by the Fund and excluded from the table above, were not considered material to the Fund.

The Fund’s fair valuation leveling guidelines classify a single daily broker quote, or a vendor price based on a single daily or monthly broker quote, as Level 3, if such a quote or price cannot be supported with other available market information.

Transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 may occur as markets fluctuate and/or the availability of data used in an investment’s valuation changes. For the year ended September 30, 2024, the Fund had securities with a total value of $6,227,970 transfer out of Level 3 into Level 2 due to the availability of current and reliable market-based data provided by a third-party pricing service which utilizes significant observable inputs.

Summary of Fair Value Level 3 Activity

Following is a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value for the year ended September 30, 2024:

FLOATING RATE STRATEGIES FUND

The Fund’s fair valuation leveling guidelines classify a single daily broker quote, or a vendor price based on a single daily or monthly broker quote, as Level 3, if such a quote or price cannot be supported with other available market information.

Transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 may occur as markets fluctuate and/or the availability of data used in an investment’s valuation changes. For the year ended September 30, 2024, the Fund had securities with a total value of $1,951,169 transfer into Level 3 from Level 2 due to a lack of observable inputs and had securities with a total value of $2,056,421 transfer out of Level 3 into Level 2 due to the availability of current and reliable market-based data provided by a third-party pricing service which utilizes significant observable inputs.

Summary of Fair Value Level 3 Activity

Following is a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value for the year ended September 30, 2024:

The Fund’s fair valuation leveling guidelines classify a single daily broker quote, or a vendor price based on a single daily or monthly broker quote, as Level 3, if such a quote or price cannot be supported with other available market information.

Transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 may occur as markets fluctuate and/or the availability of data used in an investment’s valuation changes. For the year ended September 30, 2024, the Fund had securities with a total value of $941,863 transfer into Level 3 from Level 2 due to a lack of observable inputs and did not have any securities to transfer out of Level 3 into Level 2.

SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS (continued)	September 30, 2024
LIMITED DURATION FUND

Significant changes in a quote, yield, market comparable yields, liquidation value or valuation multiple would generally result in significant changes in the fair value of the security. Any remaining Level 3 securities held by the Fund and excluded from the table above, were not considered material to the Fund.

The Fund’s fair valuation leveling guidelines classify a single daily broker quote, or a vendor price based on a single daily or monthly broker quote, as Level 3, if such a quote or price cannot be supported with other available market information.

Transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 may occur as markets fluctuate and/or the availability of data used in an investment’s valuation changes. For the year ended September 30, 2024, the Fund had securities with a total value of $18,228,543 transfer out of Level 3 into Level 2 due to the availability of current and reliable market-based data provided by a third-party pricing service which utilizes significant observable inputs.

Summary of Fair Value Level 3 Activity

Following is a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value for the year ended September 30, 2024:

* Inputs are weighted by the fair value of the instruments.

Significant changes in a quote, yield, liquidation value or valuation multiple would generally result in significant changes in the fair value of the security.

The Fund’s fair valuation leveling guidelines classify a single daily broker quote, or a vendor price based on a single daily or monthly broker quote, as Level 3, if such a quote or price cannot be supported with other available market information.

Transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 may occur as markets fluctuate and/or the availability of data used in an investment’s valuation changes. For the year ended September 30, 2024, the Fund had securities with a total value of $30,337,082 transfer into Level 3 from Level 2 due to a lack of observable inputs and had securities with a total value of $35,928,953 transfer out of Level 3 into Level 2 due to the availability of current and reliable market-based data provided by a third-party pricing service which utilizes significant observable inputs.

Repurchase Agreements

The Fund may engage in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are fixed income securities in the form of agreements backed by collateral. These agreements typically involve the acquisition by the Fund of securities from the selling institution coupled with the agreement that the selling institution will repurchase the underlying securities at a specified price and at a fixed time in the future. The Fund may accept a wide variety of underlying securities as collateral for the repurchase agreements entered into by the Fund. Any such securities serving as collateral are marked-to-market daily in order to maintain full collateralization. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Fund’s Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Interest earned is recorded as a component of interest income on the Fund’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.

In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Fund’s policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying collateral. The collateral is in the possession of the Fund’s custodian and is evaluated to ensure that its market value exceeds, at a minimum, 102% of the original face amount of the repurchase agreements, subject to minimum amounts to initiate a margin call, with the exception of where securities are being sold short. The interest rate on repurchase agreements is market driven and based on the underlying collateral obtained.

The use of repurchase agreements involves certain risks. For example, if the selling institution defaults on its obligation to repurchase the underlying securities at a time when the value of securities has declined, the Fund may incur a loss upon disposition of them. In the event of an insolvency or bankruptcy by the selling institution, the Fund’s right to control the collateral could be affected and result in certain costs and delays. In addition, the Fund could incur a loss if the value of the underlying collateral falls below the agreed upon repurchase price.

At September 30, 2024, the repurchase agreements in the account were as follows:

Counterparty and Terms of Agreement	Face Value		Repurchase Price		Collateral	Par Value		Fair Value
BNP Paribas					U.S. Treasury Bond
4.86%					3.63%

* Inputs are weighted by the fair value of the instruments.

Significant changes in a quote, yield, liquidation value or valuation multiple would generally result in significant changes in the fair value of the security.

The Fund’s fair valuation leveling guidelines classify a single daily broker quote, or a vendor price based on a single daily or monthly broker quote, as Level 3, if such a quote or price cannot be supported with other available market information.

Transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 may occur as markets fluctuate and/or the availability of data used in an investment’s valuation changes. For the year ended September 30, 2024, the Fund did not have any securities transfer into Level 3 from Level 2 and had securities with a total value of $78,009,956 transfer out of Level 3 into Level 2 due to the availability of current and reliable market-based data provided by a third-party pricing service which utilizes significant observable inputs.

Repurchase Agreements

The Fund may engage in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are fixed income securities in the form of agreements backed by collateral. These agreements typically involve the acquisition by the Fund of securities from the selling institution coupled with the agreement that the selling institution will repurchase the underlying securities at a specified price and at a fixed time in the future. The Fund may accept a wide variety of underlying securities as collateral for the repurchase agreements entered into by the Fund. Any such securities serving as collateral are marked-to-market daily in order to maintain full collateralization. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Interest earned is recorded as a component of interest income on the Statement of Operations.

In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Fund’s policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying collateral. The collateral is in the possession of the Fund’s custodian and is evaluated to ensure that its market value exceeds, at a minimum, 102% of the original face amount of the repurchase agreements.

The use of repurchase agreements involves certain risks. For example, if the selling institution defaults on its obligation to repurchase the underlying securities at a time when the value of securities has declined, the Fund may incur a loss upon disposition of them. In the event of an insolvency or bankruptcy by the selling institution, the Fund’s right to control the collateral could be affected and result in certain costs and delays. In addition, the Fund could incur a loss if the value of the underlying collateral falls below the agreed upon repurchase price.

At September 30, 2024, the repurchase agreements in the account were as follows:

Counterparty and Terms of Agreement	Face Value		Repurchase Price		Collateral	Par Value		Fair Value
BNP Paribas					U.S. Treasury Strips
4.86%					0.00%
Due 10/01/24	$	17,510,000	$	17,512,364	Due 08/15/41 - 11/15/45	$	38,623,716	$	15,823,674

Repurchase Agreements

The Fund may engage in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are fixed income securities in the form of agreements backed by collateral. These agreements typically involve the acquisition by the Fund of securities from the selling institution coupled with the agreement that the selling institution will repurchase the underlying securities at a specified price and at a fixed time in the future. The Fund may accept a wide variety of underlying securities as collateral for the repurchase agreements entered into by the Fund. Any such securities serving as collateral are marked-to-market daily in order to maintain full collateralization. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Interest earned is recorded as a component of interest income on the Statement of Operations.

In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Fund’s policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying collateral. The collateral is in the possession of the Fund’s custodian and is evaluated to ensure that its market value exceeds, at a minimum, 102% of the original face amount of the repurchase agreements.

The use of repurchase agreements involves certain risks. For example, if the selling institution defaults on its obligation to repurchase the underlying securities at a time when the value of securities has declined, the Fund may incur a loss upon disposition of them. In the event of an insolvency or bankruptcy by the selling institution, the Fund’s right to control the collateral could be affected and result in certain costs and delays. In addition, the Fund could incur a loss if the value of the underlying collateral falls below the agreed upon repurchase price.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Guggenheim Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust, is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as an open-ended investment company of the series type. Each series, in effect, is representing a separate fund (each, a “Fund”). The Trust may issue an unlimited number of authorized shares. The Trust accounts for the assets of each Fund separately.

The Trust offers a combination of six separate classes of shares: Class A shares, Class C shares, Class P shares, Class R6 shares, SMA Class shares and Institutional Class shares. Sales of shares of each Class are made without a front-end sales charge at the net asset value per share (“NAV”), with the exception of Class A shares. Class A shares are sold at the NAV, plus the applicable front-end sales charge. The sales charge varies depending on the amount purchased. Class A share purchases of $1 million or more are exempt from the front-end sales charge but have a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”), if shares are redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class C shares have a 1% CDSC if shares are redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class C shares of each Fund automatically convert to Class A shares of the same Fund on or about the 10th day of the month following the 8-year anniversary of the purchase of the Class C shares. This conversion will be executed without any sales charge, fee or other charge. After the conversion is completed, the shares will be subject to all features and expenses of Class A shares. Institutional Class shares are offered primarily for direct investment by institutions such as pension and profit sharing plans, endowments, foundations and corporations. Institutional Class shares require a minimum initial investment of $2 million and a minimum account balance of $1 million. Class R6 shares are offered primarily through qualified retirement and benefit plans. Class R6 shares are also offered through certain other plans and platforms sponsored by financial intermediaries. Certain institutional investors and others deemed appropriate by Guggenheim Investments (“GI” or the “Adviser”) may also be eligible to purchase Class R6 shares subject to a $2 million minimum initial investment. SMA Class shares may be purchased only by or on behalf of “wrap” account clients where Guggenheim Investments or an affiliate thereof has an agreement to serve as investment adviser or sub-adviser to the account with the wrap program sponsor (typically a registered investment adviser, bank or broker-dealer) or directly with the client. Certain other funds in the Guggenheim complex may also be eligible to purchase SMA Class shares. At September 30, 2024, SMA Class shares were only offered for Active INvestment Series (GAINS) - Core Plus Fund and Active INvestment Series (GAINS) - Limited Duration Fund. At September 30, 2024, the Trust consisted of eighteen funds.

Class A, Class C, Class P, Institutional Class and Class R6 shares of High Yield Fund are subject to a 2% redemption fee when shares are redeemed or exchanged within 90 days of purchase.

Consolidation of Subsidiary

The consolidated financial statements of the Macro Opportunities Fund include the accounts of a wholly-owned and controlled Cayman Islands subsidiary (the “Subsidiary”). Significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation for the Macro Opportunities Fund. The Notes to Financial Statements presented herein are consolidated with respect to Macro Opportunities Fund and include the accounts of the Subsidiary.

The Macro Opportunities Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in its Subsidiary, which acts as an investment vehicle in order to effect certain investments consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives and policies.

A summary of each Fund’s investment in its respective Subsidiary is as follows:

Fund	Inception Date of Subsidiary		Subsidiary Net Assets at September 30, 2024		% of Net Assets of the Fund at September 30, 2024
Macro Opportunities Fund		01/08/15	$	13,149,877		0.18	%

Significant Accounting Policies

The Funds operate as investment companies and, accordingly, follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies.

The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and are consistently followed by the Trust. This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, 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. All time references are based on Eastern Time.

The NAV of each share class of each Fund is calculated by dividing the market value of a fund’s securities and other assets, less all liabilities attributable to the share class by the number of outstanding shares of the share class on the specified date.

(a) Valuation of Investments

The Board of Trustees of the Funds (the “Board”) adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the Funds’ investments (the “Fund Valuation Procedures”).

Pursuant to Rule 2a-5, the Board designated the Adviser as the valuation designee to perform fair valuation determinations for the Funds with respect to all Fund investments and/or other assets. As the Funds’ valuation designee pursuant to Rule 2a-5, the Adviser has adopted separate procedures (the “Valuation Designee Procedures” and collectively with the Fund Valuation Procedures, the “Valuation Procedures”) reasonably designed to prevent violations of the requirements of Rule 2a-5 and Rule 31a-4 under the 1940 act. The Adviser, in its role as valuation designee, utilizes the assistance of a valuation committee, consisting of representatives from Guggenheim’s investment management, fund administration, legal and compliance departments (the “Valuation Committee”), in determining the fair value of the Funds’ securities and/or other assets. The Valuation Procedures may be amended and potentially adversely affected as the Funds seek to comply with regulations that apply to the valuation practices of registered investment companies.

Valuations of the Funds’ securities and other assets are supplied primarily by independent third-party pricing service appointed pursuant to the processes set forth in the Valuation Procedures. The Adviser, with the assistance of the Valuation Committee, convenes monthly, or more frequently as needed, to review the valuation of all assets which have been fair valued. The Adviser, consistent with the monitoring and review responsibilities set forth in the Valuation Procedures, regularly reviews the appropriateness of the inputs, methods, models and assumptions employed by the independent third-party pricing services.

If the independent third-party pricing service cannot or does not provide a valuation for a particular investment or such valuation is deemed unreliable, such investment is fair valued by the Adviser.

280 | THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Equity securities listed or traded on a recognized U.S. securities exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) will generally be valued on the basis of the last sale price on the primary U.S. exchange or market on which the security is listed or traded; provided, however, that securities listed on NASDAQ will be valued at the NASDAQ official closing price, which may not necessarily represent the last sale price.

Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“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 currencies are valued in U.S. dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates prevailing at the close of U.S. business at 4:00 p.m. Investments in foreign securities may involve risks not present in domestic investments. The Adviser will determine the current value of such foreign securities by taking into consideration certain factors which may include the following factors, among others: the value of the securities traded on other foreign markets, American Depositary Receipts (“ADR”) trading, closed-end fund trading, foreign currency exchange activity, and the trading prices of financial products that are tied to foreign securities. In addition, under the Valuation Procedures, the Adviser is authorized to use prices and other information supplied by an independent third-party pricing service in valuing foreign securities.

Open-end investment companies are valued at their NAV as of the close of business, on the valuation date. Exchange-traded funds and closed-end investment companies are generally valued at the last quoted sale price.

U.S. Government securities are valued by independent third-party pricing services, using the last traded fill price, or at the reported bid price at the close of business on the valuation date.

CLOs, CDOs, MBS, ABS, and other structured finance securities are generally valued using an independent third party pricing service.

Repurchase agreements are generally valued at amortized cost, provided such amounts approximate market value.

Commercial paper and discount notes with a maturity of greater than 60 days at acquisition are valued at prices that reflect broker-dealer supplied valuations or are obtained from independent third-party pricing services, which may consider the trade activity, treasury spreads, yields or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, and type, as well as prices quoted by dealers who make markets in such securities. Commercial paper and discount notes with a maturity of 60 days or less at acquisition are valued at amortized cost, unless the Adviser concludes that amortized cost does not represent the fair value of the applicable asset in which case it will be valued using an independent third-party pricing service provider.

Typically, loans are valued using information provided by independent third-party pricing services which uses broker quotes, among other inputs. If the pricing service cannot or does not provide a valuation for a particular loan, or such valuation is deemed unreliable, such investment is valued based on a quote from a broker-dealer or is fair valued by the Adviser.

Exchange-traded options are valued at the mean of the bid and ask prices on the principal exchange on which they are traded. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) options and options on swaps (“swaptions”) are valued using a price provided by a pricing service.

Futures contracts are valued on the basis of the last sale price as of 4:00 p.m. on the valuation date. In the event that the exchange for a specific futures contract closes earlier than 4:00 p.m., the futures contract is valued at the official settlement price of the exchange. However, the underlying securities from which the futures contract value is derived are monitored until 4:00 p.m. to determine if fair valuation of the underlying securities would provide a more accurate valuation of the futures contract.

Interest rate swap agreements entered into by a Fund is valued on the basis of the last sale price on the primary exchange on which the swap is traded.

Other swap agreements entered into by a Fund are generally valued using an evaluated price provided by an independent third-party pricing service.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued daily based on the applicable exchange rate of the underlying currency.

THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT | 281

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued as determined in good faith by the Adviser. Valuations in accordance with these methods are intended to reflect each security’s (or asset’s or liability’s) “fair value”. Each such determination is based on a consideration of all relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. Examples of such factors may include, but are not limited to market prices; sale prices; broker quotes; and models which derive prices based on inputs such as prices of securities with comparable maturities and characteristics, or on inputs such as anticipated cash flows or collateral, spread over U.S. Treasury securities, and other information analysis. In connection with futures contracts and other derivative investments, such factors may include obtaining information as to how (a) these contracts and other derivative investments trade in the futures or other derivative markets, respectively, and (b) the securities underlying these contracts and other derivative investments trade in the cash market.

(b) U.S. Government and Agency Obligations

Certain U.S. Government and Agency Obligations are traded on a discount basis; the interest rates shown on the Funds’ Schedules of Investments reflect the effective rates paid at the time of purchase by the Funds. Other securities bear interest at the rates shown, payable at fixed dates through maturity.

Inflation-Indexed bonds are fixed-income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these securities is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation indexed bond however, interest will be paid based on a principal value which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond is recognized as a component of Interest on the Funds’ Statements of Operations, even though principal is not received until maturity.

(c) Senior Floating Rate Interests and Loan Investments

Senior floating rate interests in which the Trust invests generally pay interest rates which are periodically adjusted by reference to a base 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, (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 disclosed in the Funds’ Schedules of Investments.

The Funds invest in loans and other similar debt obligations (“obligations”). A portion of the Funds’ investments in these obligations is sometimes referred to as “covenant lite” loans or obligations (“covenant lite obligations”), which are obligations that lack financial maintenance covenants or possess fewer or contingent financial maintenance covenants and other financial protections for lenders and investors. The Funds may also obtain exposure to covenant lite obligations through investment in securitization vehicles and other structured products. Many new, restructured or reissued obligations have not featured traditional covenants, which are intended to protect lenders and investors by (i) imposing certain restrictions or other limitations on a borrower’s operations or assets or (ii) providing certain rights to lenders. The Funds may have fewer rights with respect to covenant lite obligations, including fewer protections against the possibility of default and fewer remedies in the event of default. As a result, investments in (or exposure to) covenant lite obligations are subject to more risk than investments in (or exposure to) certain other types of obligations. The Funds are subject to other risks associated with investments in (or exposure to) obligations, including that obligations may not be considered “securities” and, as a result, the Funds may not be entitled to rely on the anti-fraud protections under the federal securities laws and instead may have to resort to state law and direct claims.

(d) Interest on When-Issued Securities

The Funds 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 Funds on such interests or securities in connection with such transactions prior to the date the Funds actually take 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 Funds will generally purchase these securities with the intention of acquiring such securities, they may sell such securities before the settlement date.

(e) Short Sales

When a Fund engages in a short sale of a security, an amount equal to the proceeds is reflected as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the market value of the short sale.

282 | THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Fees, if any, paid to brokers to borrow securities in connection with short sales are recorded as interest expense. In addition, the Fund must pay out the dividend rate of the equity or coupon rate of the obligation to the lender and record this as an expense. Short dividend or interest expense is a cost associated with the investment objective of short sales transactions, rather than an operational cost associated with the day-to-day management of any mutual fund. The Fund may also receive rebate income from the broker resulting from the investment of the proceeds from securities sold short.

(f) Options

Upon the purchase of an option, the premium paid is recorded as an investment, the value of which is marked-to-market daily. If a purchased option expires, the Fund realizes a loss in the amount of the cost of the option. When the Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, it realizes a gain or loss depending on whether the proceeds from the closing sale transaction are greater or less than the cost of the option. If the Fund exercises a put option, it realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from such sale will be decreased by the premium originally paid. When the Fund exercises a call option, the cost of the security purchased by the Fund upon exercise increases by the premium originally paid.

When the Fund writes (sells) an option, an amount equal to the premium received is entered in that 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 the 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).

The Fund may purchase and write swaptions primarily to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or portion of the Funds’ holdings, as a duration management technique or to protect against an increase in the price of securities it anticipates purchasing at a later date. The purchaser and writer of a swaption is buying or granting the right to enter into a previously agreed upon interest rate swap agreement at any time before the expiration of the options. The swaptions are forward premium swaptions which have extended settlement dates.

(g) Futures Contracts

Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund deposits and maintains as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is affected. 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 appreciation or depreciation. 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.

(h) Swap Agreements

Swap agreements are marked-to-market daily and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Payments received or made as a result of an agreement or termination of an agreement are recognized as realized gains or losses.

Upon entering into certain centrally-cleared swap transactions, a Fund is required to deposit with its clearing broker an amount of cash or securities as an initial margin. Subsequent variation margin receipts or payments are received or made by the Fund depending on fluctuations in the fair value of the reference entity and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. 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.

Upfront payments received or made by a Fund on credit default swap agreements and interest rate swap agreements are amortized over the expected life of the agreement. Periodic payments received or paid by a Fund are recorded as realized gains or losses. Payments received or made as a result of a credit event or termination of the contract are recognized, net of a proportional amount of the upfront payment, as realized gains or losses.

(i) Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

The change in value of a forward foreign currency exchange contract is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is closed. When the contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time the contract was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

(j) Currency Translations

The accounting records of the Funds 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, geopolitical or economic developments, all of which could affect the market and/or credit risk of the investments.

The Funds do 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 gain or loss and unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from sales of foreign currencies and currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on investment transactions. Net unrealized appreciation and depreciation arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at the fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

(k) Foreign Taxes

The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, stock dividends, capital gains on investments or certain foreign currency transactions. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Funds invest. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Funds and reflected in their Statements of Operations as follows: foreign taxes withheld at source are presented as a reduction of income and foreign taxes on capital gains from sales of investments are included with the net realized gain (loss) on investments. Foreign taxes payable or deferred as of September 30, 2024, if any, are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

(l) Security Transactions

Security 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. Proceeds from lawsuits related to investment holdings are recorded as a reduction to cost if the securities are still held and as realized gains if no longer held in the respective Fund. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of applicable taxes withheld by foreign countries, if any. Taxable non-cash dividends are recorded as dividend income. Interest income, including amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, is accrued on a daily basis. Interest income also includes paydown gains and losses on mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities and senior and subordinated loans. Amendment fees are earned as compensation for evaluating and accepting changes to the original loan agreement and are recognized when received. Dividend income from Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) is recorded based on the income included in the distributions received from the REIT investments using published REIT classifications, including some management estimates when actual amounts are not available. Distributions received in excess of this estimated amount are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to realized gains. The actual amounts of income, return of capital, and realized gains are only determined by each REIT after its fiscal year-end, and may differ from the estimated amounts.

Income from residual collateralized loan obligations is recognized using the effective interest method. At the time of purchase, management estimates the future expected cash flows and determines the effective yield and estimated maturity date based on the estimated cash flows. Subsequent to the purchase, the estimated cash flows are updated periodically and a revised yield is calculated prospectively.

Certain Funds may receive other income from investments in senior loan interests including amendment fees, consent fees and commitment fees. For funded loans, these fees are recorded as income when received by the Funds and included in interest income on the Funds’ Statements of Operations. For unfunded loans, commitment fees are included in realized gain on investments on the Funds’ Statements of Operations at the end of the commitment period.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(m) Distributions

The Fixed Income Funds declare dividends from investment income daily. Each of the Fixed Income Funds pays its shareholders from its net investment income monthly and distributes any net capital gains that it has realized, at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends are reinvested in additional shares, unless shareholders request payment in cash. The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Dividends from net investment income are declared quarterly in the World Equity Income Fund and Risk Managed Real Estate Fund. Dividends are reinvested in additional shares, unless shareholders request payment in cash. Distributions of net investment income in the remaining Equity Funds and distributions of net realized gains, if any, in all Funds are declared at least annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP.

(n) Class Allocations

Interest and dividend income, most expenses, all realized gains and losses, and all unrealized appreciation and depreciation are allocated to the share classes based upon the value of the outstanding shares in each share class. Certain costs, such as distribution and service fees are charged directly to specific share classes. In addition, certain expenses have been allocated to the individual Funds in the Trust based on the respective net assets of each Fund included in the Trust.

(o) 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 Funds’ Statements of Operations are before the reduction in expense from the related earnings credits, if any. Earnings credits for the year ended September 30, 2024, are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Operations.

(p) Cash

The Funds may leave cash overnight in their cash account with the custodian. Periodically, a Fund may have cash due to the custodian bank as an overdraft balance. A fee is incurred on this overdraft, calculated by multiplying the overdraft by a rate based on the federal funds rate, which was 4.83% at September 30, 2024.

(q) Indemnifications

Under the Funds’ organizational documents, the Trustees and Officers 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.

(r) Special Purpose Acquisition Companies

The Funds may acquire an interest in a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) in an initial public offering or a secondary market transaction. SPAC investments carry many of the same risks as investments in initial public offering securities, such as erratic price movements, greater risk of loss, lack of information about the issuer, limited operating and little public or no trading history, and higher transaction costs. An investment in a SPAC is typically subject to a higher risk of dilution by additional later offerings of interests in the SPAC or by other investors exercising existing rights to purchase shares of the SPAC and interests in SPACs may be illiquid and/or be subject to restrictions on resale. A SPAC is a publicly traded company that raises investment capital for the purpose of acquiring the equity securities of one or more existing companies (or interests therein) via merger, combination, acquisition or other similar transactions. Unless and until an acquisition is completed, a SPAC generally invests its assets (less a portion retained to cover expenses) in U.S. government securities, money market securities and cash and does not typically pay dividends in respect of its common stock. SPAC investments are also subject to the risk that a significant portion of the funds raised by the SPAC may be expended during the search for a target acquisition or merger and that the SPAC may have limited time in which to conduct due diligence on potential business combination targets. Because SPACs are in essence blank check companies without operating history or ongoing business other than seeking acquisitions, the value of their securities is particularly dependent on the ability of the entity’s management to identify and complete a profitable acquisition. Among other conflicts of interest, the economic interests of the management, directors, officers and related parties of a SPAC can differ from the economic interests of public shareholders, which may lead to

THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT | 285

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

conflicts as they evaluate, negotiate and recommend business combination transactions to shareholders. This risk may become more acute as the deadline for the completion of a business combination nears. There is no guarantee that the SPACs in which the Funds invest will complete an acquisition or that any acquisitions that are completed will be profitable.

Note 2 – Financial Instruments and Derivatives

As part of their investment strategies, the Funds may utilize short sales and a variety of derivative instruments. These investments involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk and risks in excess of amounts recognized on the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Valuation and accounting treatment of these instruments can be found under Significant Accounting Policies in Note 1 of these Notes to Financial Statements.

Short Sales

A short sale is a transaction in which a Fund sells a security it does not own. If the security sold short decreases in price between the time the Fund sells the security and closes its short position, the Fund will realize a gain on the transaction. Conversely, if the security increases in price during the period, the Fund will realize a loss on the transaction. The risk of such price increases is the principal risk of engaging in short sales.

Derivatives

Derivatives are instruments whose values depend on, or are derived from, in whole or in part, the value of one or more other assets, such as securities, currencies, commodities or indices. Derivative instruments may be used for investment purposes (including to maintain cash reserves while maintaining exposure to certain other assets), for risk management (hedging) purposes, to facilitate trading, to reduce transaction costs and to pursue higher investment returns. Derivative instruments may also be used to seek to mitigate certain investment risks, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. U.S. GAAP requires disclosures to enable investors to better understand how and why a Fund uses derivative instruments, how these derivative instruments are accounted for and their effects on the Fund’s financial position and results of operations.

The Funds may utilize derivatives for the following purposes:

Duration: the use of an instrument to manage the interest rate risk of a portfolio.

Hedge: an investment made in order to reduce the risk of adverse price movements in a security, by taking an offsetting position to protect against broad market moves.

Income: the use of any instrument that distributes cash flows typically based upon some rate of interest.

Index Exposure: the use of an instrument to obtain exposure to a listed or other type of index.

Leverage: gaining total exposure to equities or other assets on the long and short sides at greater than 100% of invested capital.

If a Fund’s investment strategy consistently involves applying leverage, the value of the Fund’s shares will tend to increase or decrease more than the value of any increase or decrease in the underlying index or other asset. In addition, because an investment in derivative instruments generally requires a small investment relative to the amount of investment exposure assumed, an opportunity for increased net income is created; but, at the same time, leverage risk will increase. The Fund’s use of leverage, through borrowings or instruments such as derivatives, may cause an investment in the Fund to be more volatile and riskier than if the Fund had not been leveraged.

Options Purchased and Written

A call option on a security gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy, and the writer of a call option the obligation to sell, the underlying security. The purchaser of a put option has the right to sell, and the writer of the put option the obligation to buy, the underlying security at any time during the option period. The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium originally paid.

286 | THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

The following table represents the Funds’ use and volume of call/put options purchased on a monthly basis:

		Average Notional Amount
Fund	Use	Call		Put

Macro Opportunities Fund	Duration, Hedge		553,117,762		198,256,949
Total Return Bond Fund	Duration, Hedge		1,783,417,444		—

The risk in writing a call option is that a Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the underlying security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a 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 may be an imperfect correlation between the movement in prices of options and the underlying securities where a Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market; or, for OTC options, a Fund may be at risk because of the counterparty’s inability to perform.

The following table represents the Funds’ use and volume of call/put options written on a monthly basis:

Total Return Bond Fund	Duration, Hedge, Income		552,167,444		—

Futures Contracts

A futures contract is an agreement to purchase (long) or sell (short) an agreed upon amount of securities or other instruments at a set price for delivery at a future date. There are significant risks associated with a Fund’s use of futures contracts, including (i) there may be an imperfect or no correlation between the changes in market value of the underlying asset and the prices of futures contracts; (ii) there may not be a liquid secondary market for a futures contract; (iii) trading restrictions or limitations may be imposed by an exchange; and (iv) government regulations may restrict trading in futures contracts. When investing in futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to a Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default. Cash deposits are shown as segregated cash with broker on the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities; securities held as collateral are noted on the Funds’ Schedules of Investments.

Swap Agreements

A swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to changes in specified prices or rates for a specified amount of an underlying asset. When utilizing OTC swaps, a Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a swap agreement counterparty or if

THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT | 287

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

the underlying asset declines in value. Certain standardized swaps are subject to mandatory central clearing and are executed on a multi-lateral or other trade facility platform, such as a registered exchange. There is limited counterparty credit risk with respect to centrally-cleared swaps as the transaction is facilitated through a central clearinghouse, much like exchange-traded futures contracts. For a Fund utilizing centrally-cleared swaps, the exchange bears the risk of loss resulting from a counterparty not being able to pay. There is no guarantee that a Fund or an underlying fund could eliminate its exposure under an outstanding swap agreement by entering into an offsetting swap agreement with the same or another party.

Total return and custom basket swaps involve commitments where single or multiple cash flows are exchanged based on the price of an underlying reference asset (such as an index or custom basket of securities) for a fixed or variable interest rate. Total return and custom basket swaps will usually be computed based on the current value of the reference asset as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE or other exchange, with the swap value being adjusted to include dividends accrued, financing charges and/or interest associated with the swap agreement. When utilizing total return or custom basket swaps, a Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a swap agreement counterparty or if the underlying reference asset declines in value.

The following table represents the Funds’ use and volume of total return swaps on a monthly basis:

Interest rate swaps involve the exchange by the Funds with another party for their respective commitment to pay or receive a fixed or variable interest rate on a notional amount of principal. Interest rate swaps are generally centrally-cleared, but central clearing does not make interest rate swap transactions risk free.

The following table represents the Funds’ use and volume of interest rate swaps on a monthly basis:

Credit default swaps are instruments which allow for the full or partial transfer of third-party credit risk, with respect to a particular entity or entities, from one counterparty to the other. A fund enters into credit default swaps as a “seller” or “buyer” of protection primarily to gain or reduce exposure to the investment grade and/or high yield bond market. A seller of credit default swaps is selling credit protection or assuming

288 | THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

credit risk with respect to the underlying entity or entities. The buyer in a credit default swap is obligated to pay the seller a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no event of default on an underlying reference obligation has occurred. If a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of the swap agreement, the seller will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. The notional amount reflects the maximum potential amount the seller of credit protection could be required to pay to the buyer if a credit event occurs. The seller of protection receives periodic premium payments from the buyer and may also receive or pay an upfront premium adjustment to the stated periodic payments. In the event a credit default occurs on a credit default swap referencing an index, a factor adjustment will take place and the buyer of protection will receive a payment reflecting the par less the default recovery rate of the defaulted index component based on its weighting in the index. If no default occurs, the counterparty will pay the stream of payments and have no further obligations to the fund selling the credit protection. For a fund utilizing centrally cleared credit default swaps, the exchange bears the risk of loss resulting from a counterparty not being able to pay. For OTC credit default swaps, a fund bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a swap agreement counterparty, or in the case of a credit default swap in which a fund is selling credit protection, the default of a third party issuer.

The quoted market prices and resulting market values for credit default swap agreements on securities and credit indices serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit derivative had the notional amount of the swap agreement been closed/sold as of the period end. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

The following table represents the Funds’ use and volume of credit default swaps on a monthly basis:

		Average Notional Amount
Fund	Use	Protection Sold		Protection Purchased
Core Bond Fund	Hedge, Index exposure	$	—	$	22,058,260
Limited Duration Fund	Index exposure, Income		—		47,671,402
Macro Opportunities Fund	Hedge, Index exposure		—		197,286,594
Total Return Bond Fund	Hedge, Index exposure		—		307,334,107

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

A forward foreign currency exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to exchange two designated currencies at a specific time in the future. Certain types of contracts may be cash settled, in an amount equal to the change in exchange rates during the term of the contract. The contracts can be used to hedge or manage exposure to foreign currency risks with portfolio investments or to gain exposure to foreign currencies.

The market value of a forward foreign currency exchange contract changes with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Furthermore, the Funds may be exposed to risk if the counterparties cannot meet the contract terms or if the currency value changes unfavorably as compared to the U.S. dollar.

The following table represents the Funds’ use and volume of forward foreign currency exchange contracts on a monthly basis:

		Average Value

In conjunction with short sales and the use of derivative instruments, the Funds are required to maintain collateral in various forms. Depending on the financial instrument utilized and the broker involved, the Funds use margin deposits at the broker, cash and/or securities segregated at the custodian bank, discount notes or repurchase agreements allocated to the Funds as collateral.

The Trust has established counterparty credit guidelines and enters into transactions only with financial institutions rated/identified as investment grade or better. The Trust monitors the counterparty credit risk associated with each such financial institution.

Foreign Investments

There are several risks associated with exposure to foreign currencies, foreign issuers and emerging markets. A 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, or in the case of short positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged. 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 developments in the U.S. or abroad. In addition, the Funds may incur transaction costs in connection with conversions between various currencies. The Funds may, but is not obligated to, engage in currency hedging transactions, which generally involve buying currency forward, options or futures contracts. However, not all currency risks may be effectively hedged, and in some cases the costs of hedging techniques may outweigh expected benefits. In such instances, the value of securities denominated in foreign currencies can change significantly when foreign currencies strengthen or weaken relative to the U.S. dollar.

The Funds may invest in securities of foreign companies directly, or in financial instruments, such as ADRs and exchange-traded funds, which are indirectly linked to the performance of foreign issuers. Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market. Investing in securities of foreign companies directly, or in financial instruments that are indirectly linked to the performance of foreign issuers, may involve risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. issuers. The value of securities denominated in foreign currencies, and of dividends from such securities, can change significantly when foreign currencies strengthen or weaken relative to the U.S. dollar. Foreign securities markets generally have less trading volume and less liquidity than U.S. markets, and prices in some foreign markets may fluctuate more than those of securities traded on U.S. markets. Many foreign countries lack accounting and disclosure standards comparable to those that apply to U.S. companies, and it may be more difficult to obtain reliable information regarding a foreign issuer’s financial condition and operations. Transaction costs and costs associated with custody services are generally higher for foreign securities than they are for U.S. securities. Some foreign governments levy withholding taxes against dividend and interest income. Although in some countries portions of these taxes are recoverable, the non-recovered portion will reduce the income received by the Funds.

Note 3 – Offsetting

In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into transactions subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or other similar arrangements. Generally, the right to offset in those agreements allows the Funds to counteract the exposure to a specific counterparty with collateral received from or delivered to that counterparty based on the terms of the arrangements. These arrangements provide for the right to liquidate upon the occurrence of an event of default, credit event upon merger or additional termination event.

In order to better define their contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Funds mitigate their counterparty risk, the Funds may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with their derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between a fund and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives, including foreign exchange contracts, and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of a default (close-out netting) or similar event, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty.

For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark-to-market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Funds and the counterparty. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Funds and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, are reported separately on the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities as segregated cash with broker/receivable for variation margin, or payable for swap settlement/variation margin. Cash and/or securities pledged or received as collateral by the Funds in connection with an OTC derivative subject to an ISDA Master Agreement generally may not be invested, sold or rehypothecated by the counterparty or the Funds, as applicable, absent an event of default under such agreement, in which case such collateral generally may be applied towards obligations due to and payable by such counterparty or the Funds, as applicable. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a counterparty must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g., $300,000) before a transfer is required to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Funds from their counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Funds bear the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. The Funds attempt to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that they believe to be of good standing and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The following tables present derivative financial instruments and secured financing transactions that are subject to enforceable netting arrangements:

Note 4 – Fair Value Measurement

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that the Funds would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy based on the types of inputs used to value assets and liabilities and requires corresponding disclosure. The hierarchy and the corresponding inputs are summarized below:

Level 1 — unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — significant other observable inputs (for example quoted prices for securities that are similar based on characteristics such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available under the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, which may include assumptions.

Rule 2a-5 sets forth a definition of “readily available market quotations,” which is consistent with the definition of a Level 1 input under U.S. GAAP. Rule 2a-5 provides that “a market quotation is readily available only when that quotation is a quoted price (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments that the fund can access at the measurement date, provided that a quotation will not be readily available if it is not reliable.”

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available must be valued at fair value as determined in good faith. Accordingly, any security priced using inputs other than Level 1 inputs will be subject to fair value requirements. The types of inputs available depend on a variety of factors, such as the type of security and the characteristics of the markets in which it trades, if any. Fair valuation determinations that rely on fewer or no observable inputs require greater judgment. Accordingly, fair value determinations for Level 3 securities require the greatest amount of judgment.

Independent third-party pricing services are used to value a majority of the Funds’ investments. When values are not available from an independent third-party pricing service, they will be determined using a variety of sources and techniques, including: market prices; broker quotes; and models which derive prices based on inputs such as prices of securities with comparable maturities and characteristics or based on inputs such as anticipated cash flows or collateral, spread over U.S. Treasury securities, and other information and analysis. A significant portion of the Funds’ assets and liabilities are categorized as Level 2, as indicated in this report.

Quotes from broker-dealers, adjusted for fluctuations in criteria such as credit spreads and interest rates, may also be used to value the Funds’ assets and liabilities, i.e. prices provided by a broker-dealer or other market participant who has not committed to trade at that price. Although quotes are typically received from established market participants, the Funds may not have the transparency to view the underlying inputs which support the market quotations.

THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT | 297

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Significant changes in a quote would generally result in significant changes in the fair value of the security. Certain fixed income securities are valued by obtaining a monthly quote from a broker-dealer, adjusted for fluctuations in criteria such as credit spreads and interest rates.

Certain loans and other securities are valued using a single daily broker quote or a price from an independent third-party pricing services based on a single daily or monthly broker quote.

The inputs or methodologies selected and applied for valuing securities or other assets are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The suitability, appropriateness and accuracy of the techniques, methodologies and sources employed to determine fair valuation are periodically reviewed and subject to change.

Note 5 – Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Agreements

Under the terms of an investment advisory contract, the Funds pay GI investment advisory fees on a monthly basis calculated daily at the annualized rates below, based on the average daily net assets of the Funds:

*	Floating Rate Strategies Fund pays GI investment advisory fees on a monthly basis calculated daily at an annualized rate of 0.65% of the average daily net assets of the Fund up to $5 billion; and 0.60% of the average daily net assets in excess of $5 billion.
**	Macro Opportunities Fund pays GI investment advisory fees on a monthly basis calculated daily at an annualized rate of 0.89% based on the average daily net assets of the Fund up to $5 billion; and 0.84% on average daily net assets in excess of $5 billion.

GI has contractually agreed to waive the management fee it receives from each Subsidiary in an amount equal to the management fee paid to GI by the Subsidiary. This undertaking will continue in effect for so long as the Funds invest in the Subsidiary, and may not be terminated by GI unless GI obtains the prior approval of the Funds’ Board for such termination. Fees waived under this arrangement are not subject to reimbursement to GI. For the year ended September 30, 2024, the Macro Opportunities Fund waived $34,024 related to advisory fees in it’s respective Subsidiary.

GI pays operating expenses on behalf of the Trust, such as audit and accounting related services, legal services, custody, printing and mailing, among others, on a pass-through basis. Such expenses are allocated to various Funds within the complex based on relative net assets.

The Board has adopted Distribution Plans related to the offering of Class A, Class C and Class P shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The plans provide for payments at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A and Class P shares, and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class C shares.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

If a Fund invests in a fund that is advised by the same adviser or an affiliated adviser, the investing Fund’s adviser has agreed to waive fees at the investing fund level to the extent necessary to offset the proportionate share of any management fee paid by each Fund with respect to its investment in such affiliated fund. Fee waivers will be calculated at the investing fund level without regard to any expense cap in effect for the investing fund. Fees waived under this arrangement are not subject to reimbursement to GI. For the year ended September 30, 2024, the following Funds waived fees related to investments in affiliated funds:

Fund	Amount Waived
StylePlus—Large Core Fund	$	81,725
StylePlus—Mid Growth Fund		5,531

Total Return Bond Fund		562,100

For the year ended September 30, 2024, GFD retained sales charges of $185,962 relating to sales of Class A shares of the Trust.

Certain trustees and officers of the Trust are also officers of GI and/or GFD. The Trust does not compensate its officers or trustees who are officers, directors and/or employees of GI or GFD.

MUFG Investor Services (US), LLC (“MUIS”) acts as the Funds’ administrator, transfer agent and accounting agent. As administrator, transfer agent and accounting agent, MUIS maintains the books and records of the Funds’ securities and cash. The Bank of New York Mellon Corp. (“BNY”) acts as the Funds’ custodian. As custodian, BNY is responsible for the custody of the Funds’ assets. For providing the aforementioned administrative and accounting services, MUIS is entitled to receive a monthly fee equal to a percentage of the Funds’ average daily net assets and out of pocket expenses. For providing the aforementioned transfer agent and custodian services, MUIS and BNY are entitled to receive a monthly fee based on the number of transactions during the month and the number of accounts under management, subject to certain minimum monthly fees, and out of pocket expenses.

Note 6 – Reverse Repurchase Agreements

Each of the Funds may enter into reverse repurchase agreements. Under a reverse repurchase agreement, a Fund sells securities and agrees to repurchase them at a particular price at a future date. In the event the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, such buyer or its trustee or receiver may receive an extension of time to determine whether to enforce the Fund’s obligation to repurchase the securities, and the Fund’s use of the proceeds of the reverse repurchase agreement may effectively be restricted pending such decision.

For the year ended September 30, 2024, the following funds entered into reverse repurchased agreements:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Note 7 – Federal Income Tax Information

The Funds intend to comply with the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and will distribute substantially all taxable net investment income and capital gains sufficient to relieve the Funds from all, or substantially all, federal income, excise and state income taxes. Therefore, no provision for federal or state income tax or federal excise 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, or to be taken, on U.S. federal income tax returns for all open tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds’ U.S. federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for a period of three years after they are filed.

If a Fund makes a distribution to its shareholders in excess of its current and accumulated “earnings and profits” in any taxable year, the excess distribution will be treated as a return of capital to the extent of each shareholder’s basis (for tax purposes) in its shares, and any distribution in excess of basis will be treated as capital gain. A return of capital is not taxable, but it reduces the shareholder’s basis in its shares, which reduces the loss (or increases the gain) on a subsequent taxable disposition by such shareholder of the shares.

The Macro Opportunities Fund intends to invest up to 25% of its assets in the Subsidiary which is expected to provide the Fund with exposure to the commodities markets within the limitations of the U.S. federal income tax requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. The Fund has received a private letter ruling from the IRS that concludes that the income the Fund receives from the Subsidiary will constitute qualifying income for purposes of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. The Subsidiary will be classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A foreign corporation, such as the Subsidiary, will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income taxation unless it is deemed to be engaged in a U.S. trade or business. If, during a taxable year, the Subsidiary’s taxable losses (and other deductible items) exceed its income and gains, the net loss will not pass through to the Fund as a deductible amount for U.S. federal income tax purposes and cannot be carried forward to reduce future income from the Subsidiary in subsequent years.

The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended September 30, 2024 was as follows:

Net investment income and net realized gains (losses) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes because of temporary or permanent book/tax differences.

For the Equity Funds, these differences are primarily due to investments in real estate investment trusts, foreign currency gains and losses, losses deferred due to wash sales, distributions in connection with redemption of fund shares, and the “mark-to-market,” recharacterization, or disposition of certain Passive Foreign Investment Companies (PFICs). Additional differences may result from the tax treatment of securities sold short, dividends payable, distribution reclasses, and the “mark-to-market” of certain derivatives.

For the Fixed Income Funds, these differences are primarily due to investments in swap agreements, partnerships, and CLO securities, foreign currency gains and losses, the “mark-to-market” of certain derivatives, losses deferred due to wash sales, reclassification of dividends received, distributions payable, and the “mark-to-market,” recharacterization, or disposition of certain Passive Foreign Investment Companies (PFICs).

306 | THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Additional differences may result from the tax treatment of bond premium/discount amortization, paydown reclasses, income accruals on certain investments, the deferral of losses related to tax straddle investments, and the “mark-to-market” of certain investments denominated in foreign currencies. In Macro Opportunities Fund, differences may also result from transactions with the Fund’s wholly owned subsidiary.

To the extent these differences are permanent and would require a reclassification between Paid in Capital and Total Distributable Earnings (Loss), such reclassifications are made in the period that the differences arise. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share.

The following adjustments were made on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, and with respect to Macro Opportunities Fund on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities, as of September 30, 2024 for permanent book/tax differences:

Note 11 – Line of Credit

The Trust, along with other affiliated trusts, secured a 364-day committed, $1,165,000,000 line of credit from Citibank, N.A., which was in place through September 29, 2024, at which time the line of credit was renewed as a 364-day committed, $1,115,000,000 line of credit. A Fund may draw (borrow) from the line of credit as a temporary measure for emergency purposes, to facilitate redemption requests, or for other short-term liquidity purposes consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and program. For example, it may be advantageous for the Fund to borrow money rather than sell existing portfolio positions to meet redemption requests. Fees related to borrowings, if any, vary under this arrangement between the greater of Citibank’s “base rate”, SOFR plus 1%, or the federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1%.

312 | THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

The commitment fee that may be paid by the Funds is at an annualized rate of 0.15% of the average daily amount of their allocated unused commitment amount. The commitment fee amount is allocated to the individual Funds based on the respective net assets of each participating Fund and is referenced in the Funds’ Statements of Operations under “Line of credit fees”. The Funds did not have any borrowings under this agreement as of and for the year ended September 30, 2024.

Note 12 – Large Shareholder Risk

As of September 30, 2024, 83.7% of the Alpha Opportunity Fund (the “Fund”) was held by Guggenheim Macro Opportunities Fund. The Fund may experience adverse effects if a large number of shares of the Fund are held by a single shareholder (e.g., an institutional investor, financial intermediary or another GI Fund). The Fund is subject to the risk that a redemption by those shareholders of all or a large portion of the Fund could cause the Fund to liquidate its assets at inopportune times, or at a loss or depressed value, which could adversely impact the Fund’s performance and cause the value of a shareholder’s investment to decline. Redemptions of a large number of shares also may increase transaction costs or, by necessitating a sale of portfolio securities, have adverse tax consequences for shareholders. They also potentially limit the use of any capital loss carryforwards and certain other losses to offset future realized capital gains (if any) and may limit or prevent a Fund’s use of tax equalization.

Note 13 – Market Risks

The value of, or income generated by, the investments held by the Funds are subject to the possibility of rapid and unpredictable fluctuation, and loss that may result from various factors. These factors include, among others, developments affecting individual companies, issuers or particular industries or from broader influences, including real or perceived changes in prevailing interest rates (which may change at any time based on changes in monetary policies and various market and other economic conditions), changes in inflation rates or expectations about inflation rates, adverse investor confidence or sentiment, changing economic, political (including geopolitical), social or financial market conditions, increased instability or general uncertainty, environmental disasters, governmental actions, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), debt crises, actual or threatened wars or other armed conflicts (such as the escalated conflict in the Middle East and the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and its collateral economic and other effects, including, but not limited to, sanctions and other international trade barriers) or ratings downgrades, and other similar events, each of which may be temporary or last for extended periods. Different sectors, industries and security types may react differently to such developments. Moreover, changing economic, political, geopolitical, social, financial market or other conditions in one country, geographic region or industry could adversely affect the value, yield and return of the investments held by the Funds in a different country, geographic region, economy, industry or market because of the increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets. The duration and extent of the foregoing types of factors or conditions are highly uncertain and difficult to predict and have in the past, and may in the future, cause volatility and distress in economies and financial markets or other adverse circumstances, which may negatively affect the value of the Funds’ investments and performance of the Funds.

Note 14 – Subsequent Events

Reorganizations of Certain Funds. On October 25, 2024 and on November 8, 2024 with respect to Guggenheim World Equity Income Fund, the Funds identified below (the “Acquired Funds”) were reorganized into the series of New Age Alpha Funds Trust identified below (the “Acquiring Funds”) (each, a “Reorganization” and collectively, the “Reorganizations”), pursuant to Agreements and Plans of Reorganization approved by the Board and by shareholders of the Funds. Upon completion of the Reorganizations, shareholders of the Acquired Funds became shareholders of the Acquiring Funds and own shares of the Acquiring Funds equal in value to the shares of the Acquired Funds immediately prior to the Reorganizations.

Acquired Fund	Acquiring Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (concluded)

Replacement of Investment Adviser for Certain Funds. In connection with an internal realignment of Guggenheim Investment’s lines of business, effective on November 29, 2024, GPIM replaced SI as a party to the investment advisory agreements between SI and the Trust with respect to Guggenheim Core Bond Fund, Guggenheim High Yield Fund, and Guggenheim Municipal Income Fund. In addition, effective on November 29, 2024, the sub-advisory agreement between GPIM and SI with respect to Guggenheim Municipal Income Fund was terminated, and it is not currently expected that a separate sub-advisory agreement would be entered into with another party.

The Funds evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued and determined there were no additional material events that would require adjustment to or disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT | 315

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (concluded)

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2024, by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent, brokers, and paying agents; when replies were not received from brokers or paying agents, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more Guggenheim investment companies since 1979.

*	Security Investors serves as investment adviser to the Fund.
**	GPIM serves as investment adviser to the Fund. Unless the context indicates otherwise, GPIM and Security Investors, with respect to their service as investment adviser to the applicable Funds, are each referred to herein as an “Adviser” and together, the “Advisers.”

Security Investors and GPIM are each an indirect subsidiary of Guggenheim Partners, LLC, a privately-held, global investment and advisory firm (“Guggenheim Partners”). Guggenheim Partners, Security Investors, GPIM and their affiliates may be referred to herein collectively as “Guggenheim.” Security Investors and GPIM are also known as “Guggenheim Investments,” the global asset management and investment advisory division of Guggenheim Partners that includes other affiliated investment management businesses.

At meetings held in person on April 16, 2024 (the “April Meeting”) and on May 20-21, 2024 (the “May Meeting”), the Contracts Review Committee of the Board (the “Committee”), consisting solely of the Independent Trustees, met separately from Guggenheim to consider the proposed renewal of the Agreements. As part of its review process, the Committee was represented by independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees (“Independent Legal Counsel”), from whom the Independent Trustees received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately. Independent Legal Counsel reviewed and discussed with the Committee various key aspects of the Trustees’ legal responsibilities relating to the proposed renewal of the Agreements and other principal contracts. The Committee took into account various materials

¹ GPIM also serves as investment adviser to Guggenheim Macro Opportunities Fund CFC (the “Subsidiary”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Macro Opportunities Fund that is organized as a limited company under the laws of the Cayman Islands and used by Macro Opportunities Fund to obtain commodities exposure. Pursuant to a separate investment advisory agreement for the Subsidiary (the “Subsidiary Advisory Agreement”), the Subsidiary pays GPIM an advisory fee at the same rate that Macro Opportunities Fund pays GPIM under its Advisory Agreement. The Subsidiary Advisory Agreement does not require annual renewal by the Board and will continue until it is terminated as provided in the Agreement. In addition, GPIM and Macro Opportunities Fund have entered into a separate fee waiver agreement pursuant to which GPIM has contractually agreed to waive the advisory fee it receives from Macro Opportunities Fund in an amount equal to the advisory fee paid to GPIM by the Subsidiary. This undertaking will continue for so long as Macro Opportunities Fund invests in the Subsidiary, and may be terminated only with the approval of the Board.

ITEM 11: STATEMENT REGARDING BASIS FOR APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT (continued)

received from Guggenheim and Independent Legal Counsel. The Committee also considered the variety of written materials, reports and oral presentations the Board received throughout the year regarding performance and operating results of the Funds, and other information relevant to its evaluation of the Agreements.

In connection with the contract review process, FUSE Research Network LLC (“FUSE”), an independent, third-party research provider, was engaged to prepare advisory contract renewal reports designed specifically to help the Board fulfill its advisory contract renewal responsibilities. The objective of the FUSE reports is to present the subject fund’s relative position regarding fees, expenses and total return performance, with peer group and universe comparisons. The Committee assessed the data provided in the FUSE reports as well as commentary presented by Guggenheim, including, among other things, a summary of notable distinctions between certain Funds and the applicable peer group identified in the FUSE reports and explanations for custom peer groups created for certain Funds that do not fit well into any particular category. The Committee noted that although FUSE’s process typically results in the identification for each Fund of a universe of similar funds for performance comparisons and a narrower group of similar funds from the universe based on asset levels for comparative fee and expense data evaluation (i.e., the peer group), the peer group constituent funds identified by FUSE for Market Neutral Real Estate Fund were the same as the performance universe constituent funds due to the Fund’s investment strategy.

In addition, Guggenheim provided materials and data in response to formal requests for information sent by Independent Legal Counsel on behalf of the Committee. Guggenheim also made a presentation at the April Meeting. Throughout the process, the Committee asked questions of management and requested certain additional information, which Guggenheim provided (collectively with the foregoing reports and materials, the “Contract Review Materials”). The Committee considered the Contract Review Materials in the context of its accumulated experience governing the Trust and other funds in the Guggenheim fund complex and weighed the factors and standards discussed with Independent Legal Counsel.

As a part of its analysis, the Committee considered that Guggenheim had engaged in a strategic review of the Guggenheim fund line-up beginning in 2023, which resulted in recommendations to the Board in 2024 for certain Funds² to be reorganized into new funds sponsored by a third-party manager (the “Proposed Reorganizations”) and for Small Cap Value Fund to be liquidated and terminated (the “Proposed Liquidation”). The Committee noted that the Board was engaged in an extensive due diligence process to evaluate the Proposed Reorganizations and the Proposed Liquidation, which was ongoing at the time of the May Board Meeting (defined below), at which meeting the Agreements were being considered for renewal. The Committee considered the potential timing of the Proposed Reorganizations and the Proposed Liquidation and that the continuation of the applicable Agreements for the applicable Funds would allow such Funds to operate until the completion of the Proposed Reorganizations or the Proposed Liquidation, if approved by the Board and by shareholders (as applicable), and would provide for the operation of such Funds to continue in the event the Board or shareholders (as applicable) do not approve the Proposed Reorganizations or the Proposed Liquidation.

Following an analysis and discussion of relevant factors, including those identified below, and in the exercise of its business judgment, the Committee concluded that it was in the best interest of each Fund to recommend that the Board approve the renewal of the applicable Agreements for an additional annual term. Following its review of the Committee’s recommendation, the Board approved the renewal of the applicable Agreements for each Fund for a one-year period ending August 1, 2025 at a meeting held on May 20-21, 2024 (the “May Board Meeting” and together with the May Meeting, the “May Meetings”) and determined to adopt the Committee’s considerations and conclusions, which follow.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Each Adviser: With respect to the nature, extent and quality of services currently provided by each Adviser, the Committee considered the qualifications, experience and skills of key personnel performing services for the Funds, including those personnel providing compliance and risk oversight, as well as the supervisors and reporting lines for such personnel. The Committee also considered other information, including Guggenheim’s resources and related efforts to retain, attract and motivate capable personnel to serve the Funds. In evaluating Guggenheim’s resources and capabilities, the Committee considered Guggenheim’s commitment to focusing on, and investing resources in support of, funds in the Guggenheim fund complex. The Committee also considered Guggenheim’s discussions with the Committee and the Board regarding the Proposed Reorganizations and the Proposed Liquidation, including at the April Meeting and the May Meetings. In this regard, the Committee considered Guggenheim’s representation that it continues to manage each Fund included in the Proposed Reorganizations or the Proposed Liquidation in the best interest of such Fund and its shareholders and will continue

to do so for so long as it serves as investment adviser to such Fund, including until the Proposed Reorganization or the Proposed Liquidation of such Fund, if approved by the Board and by shareholders (as applicable), is completed. In addition, the Committee considered the acceptability of the terms of each Advisory Agreement, including the scope of services required to be performed by each Adviser.

The Committee’s review of the services provided by Guggenheim to the Funds included consideration of Guggenheim’s investment processes and resulting performance, portfolio oversight and risk management, and the related regular quarterly reports and presentations received by the Board. The Committee took into account the risks borne by Guggenheim in sponsoring and providing services to the Funds, including regulatory, operational, legal and entrepreneurial risks. The Committee considered the resources dedicated by Guggenheim to compliance functions and the reporting made to the Board by Guggenheim compliance personnel regarding Guggenheim’s adherence to regulatory requirements. The Committee also considered the regular reports the Board receives from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer regarding compliance policies and procedures established pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. In connection with the Committee’s evaluation of the overall package of services provided by Guggenheim, the Committee considered Guggenheim’s administrative services, including its role in supervising, monitoring, coordinating and evaluating the various services provided by the fund administrator, transfer agent, distributor, custodian and other service providers to the Funds. The Committee evaluated the Office of Chief Financial Officer (the “OCFO”), which oversees the fund administration, accounting and transfer agency services provided to the Funds and other funds in the Guggenheim fund complex, including the OCFO’s resources, personnel and services provided.

With respect to Municipal Income Fund, the Committee noted that, although Security Investors delegated certain portfolio management responsibilities to the Sub-Adviser, as affiliated companies, both the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser are part of the Guggenheim organization. Further, the Committee took into account Guggenheim’s explanation that investment advisory-related services are provided by many Guggenheim employees under different related legal entities and thus, the services provided by the Adviser on the one hand and the Sub-Adviser on the other, as well as the risks assumed by each party, cannot be ascribed to distinct legal entities.³ As a result, in evaluating the services provided to the Municipal Income Fund under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Committee did not separately consider the contributions under the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

With respect to Guggenheim’s resources and the ability of each Adviser to carry out its responsibilities under the applicable Advisory Agreement, the Chief Financial Officer of Guggenheim Investments reviewed with the Committee financial information concerning the holding company for Guggenheim Investments, Guggenheim Partners Investment Management Holdings, LLC (“GPIMH”), and the various entities comprising Guggenheim Investments, and provided the audited consolidated financial statements of GPIMH. (Thereafter, the Committee received the audited consolidated financial statements of GPIM.)

Based on the foregoing, and based on other information received (both oral and written) at the April Meeting and the May Meetings, as well as other considerations, including the Committee’s knowledge of how each Adviser performs its duties obtained through Board meetings, discussions and reports throughout the year, the Committee concluded that each Adviser and its personnel were qualified to serve the Funds in such capacity and may reasonably be expected to continue to provide a high quality of services under each Advisory Agreement with respect to the Funds.

Investment Performance: The Committee received, for each Fund, investment returns for the since-inception, ten-year, five-year, three-year, one-year and three-month periods ended December 31, 2023, as applicable. In addition, the Committee received a comparison of each Fund’s performance to the performance of a benchmark, a universe of funds and a narrower peer group of similar funds based on asset levels as identified by FUSE (except as noted above with respect to Market Neutral Real Estate Fund), in each case for the same periods, as applicable. The Committee also received from FUSE a description of the methodology for identifying each Fund’s peer group and universe for performance and expense comparisons. The Committee also received certain performance information as of March 31, 2024. In assessing each Fund’s performance, the Committee considered that the Board receives regular reporting from Guggenheim regarding performance and evaluates performance throughout the year.

³ Consequently, except where the context indicates otherwise, references to “Adviser,” “Advisers” or “Sub-Adviser” should be understood as referring to Guggenheim Investments generally and the services it provides under the Agreements.

ITEM 11: STATEMENT REGARDING BASIS FOR APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT (continued)

In seeking to evaluate Fund performance over a full market cycle, the Committee focused its attention on five-year and three-year performance rankings as compared to the relevant universe of funds. Except as to the individual Funds discussed below, the Committee observed that the returns of each Fund’s Institutional Class shares ranked in the third quartile or better of such Fund’s performance universe for each of the five-year and three-year periods considered. In addition, the Committee made the following observations:

Alpha Opportunity Fund: The returns of the Fund’s Institutional Class shares ranked in the 93rd and 54th percentiles of its performance universe for the five-year and three-year periods ended December 31, 2023, respectively. The Committee noted management’s explanation that the Fund’s relative underperformance over the five-year time period was primarily due to the Fund’s beta profile and fundamental factor tilts. The Committee noted management’s statement that the Fund’s lower beta profile to broad market U.S. equities relative to its peers and long exposure to value and short exposure to growth have detracted from investment performance. The Committee also noted management’s statement that as a result of an update in 2021 to the quantitative investment methodology that the Fund employs, the Fund experienced performance rankings that compare more favorably relative to its performance universe for the three-year and one-year periods ended December 31, 2023.

Core Bond Fund: The returns of the Fund’s Institutional Class shares ranked in the 28th and 80th percentiles of its performance universe for the five-year and three-year periods ended December 31, 2023, respectively. The Committee noted management’s explanation that the Fund’s relative underperformance over the three-year time period was primarily due to the Fund’s overweight credit allocation, noting the widening of credit spreads across all fixed income asset classes—primarily concentrated in 2022—as the Federal Reserve tightened monetary policy in response to inflation. The Committee noted management’s statement that the drawdowns across credit markets were driven mostly by technical factors rather than fundamentals, and the Fund was able to capitalize on this volatility, which contributed to improved performance in the past year. The Committee considered that the returns of the Fund’s Institutional Class shares ranked in the 7th percentile of its performance universe for the one-year period ended December 31, 2023.

Market Neutral Real Estate Fund: The returns of the Fund’s Institutional Class shares ranked in the 88th percentile of its performance universe for the five-year and three-year periods ended December 31, 2023. The Committee noted management’s explanation that the Fund’s relative underperformance over the five-year and three-year time periods was due to underperforming pairs of offsetting long and short positions as well as short positions that were taken private. The Committee considered management’s view that the macroeconomic outlook for real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) should be more favorable going forward due to tailwinds from interest rate stabilization and Federal Reserve rate cuts, as well as more optimistic operating fundamentals given more favorable conditions. The Committee also considered management’s statement that the peer funds do not fully reflect the focus on REITs of the Fund’s strategy.

Municipal Income Fund: The returns of the Fund’s Institutional Class shares ranked in the 100th and 97th percentiles of its performance universe for the five-year and three-year periods ended December 31, 2023, respectively. The Committee noted management’s explanation that as the Federal Reserve began to tighten monetary policy through interest rate hikes and quantitative tightening, long duration assets materially underperformed, which negatively impacted the Fund’s performance given the Fund’s bias towards higher quality long duration assets. The Committee noted management’s statement that the Fund is biased towards higher quality long duration assets because management believes that an economic downturn is likely to weigh on lower quality assets. The Committee also noted management’s explanation that the Fund’s allocations to out-of-index sectors, which lagged traditional municipal securities, particularly in 2023, also negatively impacted the Fund’s performance. The Committee considered recent portfolio enhancements implemented by management to improve the Fund’s performance, including reducing the Fund’s allocations to out-of-index sectors, and took into account certain performance information for the Fund as of March 31, 2024 that reflected significant improvement in short-term performance. The Committee also considered its discussions with management at the April Meeting regarding expectations for continued improved performance for the Fund.

Based on the foregoing, and based on other information received (both oral and written) at the April Meeting and the May Meetings, as well as other considerations, the Committee concluded that, with respect to each Fund other than Municipal Income Fund: (i) the Fund’s performance was acceptable; or (ii) it was satisfied with Guggenheim’s responses and/or efforts to improve investment performance; and, with respect to Municipal Income Fund, it would continue to monitor the Fund’s investment performance.

⁴ The “net effective management fee” for each Fund represents the combined effective advisory fee and administration fee as a percentage of average net assets for the latest fiscal year, after any waivers and/or reimbursements.

THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT | 325

ITEM 11: STATEMENT REGARDING BASIS FOR APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT (continued)

Comparative Fees, Costs of Services Provided and the Benefits Realized by Each Adviser from Its Relationship with the Funds: The Committee compared each Fund’s contractual advisory fee (which, for Municipal Income Fund, includes the sub-advisory fee paid to the Sub-Adviser), net effective management fee⁴ and total net expense ratio to the applicable peer group. The Committee also reviewed the median advisory fees and expense ratios, including expense ratio components (e.g., transfer agency fees, administration fees, other operating expenses, distribution fees and fee waivers/reimbursements), of the peer group. In addition, the Committee considered information regarding Guggenheim’s process for evaluating the competitiveness of each Fund’s fees and expenses, noting Guggenheim’s statement that evaluations seek to incorporate a variety of factors with a general focus on ensuring fees and expenses: (i) are competitive; (ii) give consideration to resource support requirements; and (iii) ensure Funds are able to deliver on shareholder return expectations.

As part of its evaluation of each Fund’s advisory fee, the Committee considered how such fees compared to the advisory fee charged by Guggenheim to one or more other clients that it manages pursuant to similar investment strategies, to the extent applicable, noting that, in certain instances, Guggenheim charges a lower advisory fee to such other clients. In this connection, the Committee considered, among other things, Guggenheim’s representations about the significant differences between managing mutual funds as compared to other types of accounts. The Committee also considered Guggenheim’s explanation that lower fees are charged in certain instances due to various other factors, including the scope of contract, type of investors, fee structure, applicable legal, governance and capital structures, tax status and historical pricing reasons. In addition, the Committee took into account Guggenheim’s discussion of the regulatory, operational, legal and entrepreneurial risks involved with the Funds as compared to other types of accounts. The Committee concluded that the information it received demonstrated that the aggregate services provided to, or the specific circumstances of, each Fund were sufficiently different from the services provided to, or the specific circumstances of, other clients with similar investment strategies and/or that the risks borne by Guggenheim were sufficiently greater than those associated with managing other clients with similar investment strategies to support the difference in fees.

In further considering the comparative fee and expense data presented in the Contract Review Materials and addressed by Guggenheim, the Committee took into account those Funds with currently effective expense limitation agreements with the Adviser. Except as to the individual Funds discussed below, the Committee observed that the contractual advisory fee, net effective management fee and total net expense ratio for each Fund’s Institutional Class shares each rank in the third quartile or better of such Fund’s peer group. In addition, the Committee made the following observations:

Floating Rate Strategies Fund: The contractual advisory fee for the Fund’s Institutional Class shares ranks in the third quartile (75th percentile) of its peer group. The net effective management fee for the Fund’s Institutional Class shares ranks in the third quartile (67th percentile) of its peer group. The total net expense ratio for the Fund’s Institutional Class shares ranks in the fourth quartile (83rd percentile) of its peer group. The Committee considered the Adviser’s statement explaining the higher expenses that performance is driven by a unique investment approach that requires significant resources. In this regard, the Committee took into consideration the strong investment performance of the Fund’s Institutional Class shares for the three-year period ended December 31, 2023. The Committee also took into account the Fund’s currently effective expense limitation agreement with the Adviser.

High Yield Fund: The contractual advisory fee for the Fund’s Institutional Class shares ranks in the second quartile (36th percentile) of its peer group. The net effective management fee for the Fund’s Institutional Class shares ranks in the second quartile (50th percentile) of its peer group. The total net expense ratio for the Fund’s Institutional Class shares ranks in the fourth quartile (79th percentile) of its peer group. The Committee considered that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee ranks favorably in the second quartile of the peer group and that the net effective management fee ranks in line with the peer group. The Committee also took into account the Fund’s currently effective expense limitation agreement with the Adviser, noting that in early 2024 the Adviser agreed to reduce the expense cap for each share class by 22 basis points to further limit ordinary operating expenses of the Fund.

Limited Duration Fund: The contractual advisory fee for the Fund’s Institutional Class shares ranks in the fourth quartile (87th percentile) of its peer group. The net effective management fee for the Fund’s Institutional Class shares ranks in the third quartile (60th percentile) of its peer group. The total net expense ratio for the Fund’s Institutional Class shares ranks in the third quartile (67th percentile) of its peer group. The Committee considered the Adviser’s statement explaining the higher fees that performance is driven by a unique investment approach that requires significant resources. In this regard, the Committee took into consideration the strong investment performance of the Fund’s Institutional Class shares for the five-year and three-year periods ended December 31, 2023. The Committee also took into account the Fund’s currently effective expense limitation agreement with the Adviser.

326 | THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT

ITEM 11: STATEMENT REGARDING BASIS FOR APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT (continued)

Macro Opportunities Fund: The contractual advisory fee, net effective management fee and total net expense ratio for the Fund’s Institutional Class shares each rank in the fourth quartile (92nd percentile) of its peer group. The Committee noted that the Fund is categorized as a non-traditional bond fund which seeks to add value by investing in many non-traditional securities within and outside of fixed income, including equities, currencies, commodities and derivatives, and that peer funds have varying degrees of capability, flexibility and associated fees. The Committee considered the Adviser’s statement explaining the higher fees and expenses that performance is driven by a unique investment approach that requires significant resources. The Committee also took into account the Fund’s currently effective expense limitation agreement and contractual advisory fee breakpoint of 5 basis points on average daily net assets above $5 billion.

StylePlus—Large Core Fund: The contractual advisory fee for the Fund’s Institutional Class shares ranks in the third quartile (54th percentile) of its peer group. The net effective management fee and total net expense ratio for the Fund’s Institutional Class shares each rank in the fourth quartile (77th percentile) of its peer group. The Committee considered that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee ranks in line with the peer group. The Committee also took into account the Fund’s currently effective expense limitation agreement with the Adviser.

StylePlus—Mid Growth Fund: The contractual advisory fee for the Fund’s Institutional Class shares ranks in the first quartile (14th percentile) of its peer group. The net effective management fee for the Fund’s Institutional Class shares ranks in the third quartile (57th percentile) of its peer group. The total net expense ratio for the Fund’s Institutional Class shares ranks in the fourth quartile (79th percentile) of its peer group. The Committee considered that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee ranks favorably in the first quartile of its peer group and that the net effective management fee ranks in line with the peer group. The Committee also took into account the Fund’s currently effective expense limitation agreement with the Adviser.

Total Return Bond Fund: The contractual advisory fee for the Fund’s Institutional Class shares ranks in the third quartile (71st percentile) of its peer group. The net effective management fee for the Fund’s Institutional Class shares ranks in the fourth quartile (79th percentile) of its peer group. The total net expense ratio for the Fund’s Institutional Class shares ranks in the third quartile (64th percentile) of its peer group. The Committee considered the Adviser’s statement explaining the higher fees that performance is driven by a unique investment approach that requires significant resources. The Committee also took into account the Fund’s currently effective expense limitation agreement with the Adviser.

With respect to the costs of services provided and benefits realized by Guggenheim Investments from its relationship with the Funds, the Committee reviewed a profitability analysis and data from management for each Fund setting forth the average assets under management for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, gross revenues received, and expenses incurred directly or through allocations, by Guggenheim Investments, expense waivers (as applicable), earnings and the operating margin/profitability rate, including variance information relative to the foregoing amounts as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. In addition, the Chief Financial Officer of Guggenheim Investments reviewed with, and addressed questions from, the Committee concerning the expense allocation methodology employed in producing the profitability analysis. In the course of its review of Guggenheim Investments’ profitability, the Committee took into account the methods used by Guggenheim Investments to determine expenses and profit and the representation by the Chief Financial Officer of Guggenheim Investments that such methods provided a reasonable basis for determining the profitability of the applicable Adviser with respect to each Fund. The Committee considered all of the foregoing, among other things, in evaluating the costs of services provided, the profitability to Guggenheim Investments and the profitability rates presented.

The Committee also considered other benefits available to each Adviser because of its relationship with the Funds and noted Guggenheim’s statement that it does not believe the Advisers derive any such “fall-out” benefits. In this regard, the Committee noted Guggenheim’s statement that, although it does not consider such benefits to be fall-out benefits, the Advisers may benefit from certain economies of scale and synergies, such as enhanced visibility of the Advisers, enhanced leverage in fee negotiations and other synergies arising from offering a broad spectrum of products, including the Funds.

Based on the foregoing, and based on other information received (both oral and written) at the April Meeting and the May Meetings, as well as other considerations, the Committee concluded that the comparative fees and the benefits realized by each Adviser from its relationship with the Funds were appropriate and that each Adviser’s profitability from its relationship with the Funds was not unreasonable.

Economies of Scale: The Committee received and considered information regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Funds as Fund assets grow, whether the Funds have appropriately benefited from any economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Committee considered whether economies of scale in the provision of services to the Funds were being passed along to and shared with the shareholders. The Committee considered that Guggenheim

THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT | 327

ITEM 11: STATEMENT REGARDING BASIS FOR APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT (continued)

believes it is appropriately sharing potential economies of scale and that Guggenheim’s decrease in overall expenses in 2023 was attributable to decreased product and distribution related costs driven by lower average assets under management (which also resulted in decreased revenue from the funds in the Guggenheim fund complex), decreased expense waivers and reimbursements, and decreased expenses associated with non-recurring items.

The Committee also noted the process employed by the Adviser to evaluate whether it would be appropriate to institute a new breakpoint for a Fund, with consideration given to, among other things: (i) the Fund’s size and trends in asset levels over recent years; (ii) the competitiveness of the expense levels; (iii) whether expense waivers are in place; (iv) changes and trends in revenue and expenses; (v) whether there are any anticipated expenditures that may benefit the Fund in the future; (vi) Fund profit level margins; (vii) relative Fund performance; (viii) the nature, extent and quality of services management provides to the Fund; and (ix) the complexity of the Fund’s investment strategy and the resources required to support the Fund.

As part of its assessment of economies of scale, the Committee took into account Guggenheim’s representation that it seeks to share economies of scale through a number of means, including breakpoints, advisory fees set at competitive rates pre-assuming future asset growth, expense waivers and limitations, and investments in personnel, operations and infrastructure to support the fund business. The Committee also received information regarding amounts that had been shared with shareholders through such breakpoints and expense waivers and limitations. The Committee also noted information from Guggenheim regarding certain challenges and costs associated with managing Funds that have achieved significant scale. Thus, the Committee considered the size of the Funds and the competitiveness of and/or other determinations made regarding the current advisory fee for each Fund, as well as whether a Fund is subject to an expense limitation.

Based on the foregoing, and based on other information received (both oral and written) at the April Meeting and the May Meetings, as well as other considerations, the Committee concluded that the advisory fee for each Fund was reasonable.

Sub-Advisory Agreement for Municipal Income Fund

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Sub-Adviser: As noted above, because both the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser for Municipal Income Fund—Security Investors and GPIM, respectively—are part of and do business as Guggenheim Investments and the services provided by the Adviser on the one hand and the Sub-Adviser on the other cannot be ascribed to distinct legal entities, the Committee did not separately evaluate the services provided under the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement. Therefore, the Committee considered the qualifications, experience and skills of the Fund’s portfolio management team in connection with the Committee’s evaluation of Guggenheim’s investment professionals under the Advisory Agreement. With respect to Guggenheim’s resources and the Sub-Adviser’s ability to carry out its responsibilities under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, as noted above, the Committee considered the financial condition of GPIMH and the various entities comprising Guggenheim Investments. The Committee also considered the acceptability of the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, including the scope of services required to be performed by the Sub-Adviser.

Investment Performance: The Committee considered the returns of the Fund under its evaluation of the Advisory Agreement.

Comparative Fees, Costs of Services Provided and the Benefits Realized by the Sub-Adviser from Its Relationship with the Fund: The Committee considered that the Sub-Advisory Agreement is with an affiliate of the Adviser, that the Adviser compensates the Sub-Adviser from its own fees so that the sub-advisory fee rate for the Fund does not impact the fees paid by the Fund and that the Sub-Adviser’s revenues were included in the calculation of Guggenheim Investments’ profitability. Given its conclusion of the reasonableness of the advisory fee, the Committee concluded that the sub-advisory fee rate for the Fund was reasonable.

Economies of Scale: The Committee recognized that, because the Sub-Adviser’s fees are paid by the Adviser and not the Fund, the analysis of economies of scale was more appropriate in the context of the Committee’s consideration of the Advisory Agreement, which was separately considered. (See “Advisory Agreements – Economies of Scale” above.)

Overall Conclusions

The Committee concluded that the investment advisory fees are fair and reasonable in light of the extent and quality of the services provided and other benefits received and that the renewal of each applicable Agreement is in the best interest of each Fund. In reaching this conclusion, no single factor was determinative or conclusive and each Committee member, in the exercise of their informed business judgment, may afford different weights to different factors.

328 | THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT

ITEM 11: STATEMENT REGARDING BASIS FOR APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT (continued)

Following its review of the Committee’s analysis and determinations, the Board adopted the considerations and conclusions of the Committee and determined to approve the renewal of the Agreements. As a part of its considerations, the Board noted its ongoing evaluation of the Proposed Reorganizations for certain Funds and the Proposed Liquidation for Small Cap Value Fund and determined that the renewal of the applicable Agreements for such Funds would allow such Funds to operate until the completion of the Proposed Reorganizations or the Proposed Liquidation, if approved by the Board and by shareholders (as applicable), and would provide for the operation of such Funds to continue in the event the Board or shareholders (as applicable) do not approve the Proposed Reorganizations or the Proposed Liquidation. (Following the May Board Meeting, the Board approved the Proposed Reorganizations, subject to shareholder approval, and the Proposed Liquidation at a reconvening of the May Board Meeting held by videoconference on May 24, 2024.)

Board Considerations Regarding Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement

GUGGENHEIM FUNDS TRUST

Guggenheim Active INvestment Series (GAINS) – Core Plus Fund
Guggenheim Active INvestment Series (GAINS) – Limited Duration Fund

At a meeting held in person on February 28-29, 2024 (the “February Meeting”), the Board of Trustees of Guggenheim Funds Trust (the “Trust”), including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with Guggenheim Partners Investment Management, LLC (“GPIM” or the “Adviser”) on behalf of each of Guggenheim Active INvestment Series (GAINS) – Core Plus Fund and Guggenheim Active INvestment Series (GAINS) – Limited Duration Fund (each a “New Fund” and collectively, the “New Funds”), each a new series of the Trust, for an initial term of up to two years.

GPIM is an indirect subsidiary of Guggenheim Partners, LLC, a privately-held, global investment and advisory firm (“Guggenheim Partners”). Guggenheim Partners, GPIM and their affiliates may be referred to herein collectively as “Guggenheim.” “Guggenheim Investments” refers to the global asset management and investment advisory division of Guggenheim Partners and includes GPIM, Guggenheim Funds Investment Advisors, LLC, Security Investors, LLC and other affiliated investment management businesses of Guggenheim Partners.

At the February Meeting, the Independent Trustees met separately from Guggenheim to consider the approval of the Advisory Agreement with respect to each New Fund. As part of their review process, the Independent Trustees were represented by independent legal counsel (“Independent Legal Counsel”), from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately. Independent Legal Counsel reviewed and discussed with the Independent Trustees various key aspects of their legal responsibilities relating to their consideration of the Advisory Agreement and other principal contracts for the New Funds. The Independent Trustees took into account various materials received from Guggenheim.

In considering the proposed Advisory Agreement for each New Fund, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, took into account that each New Fund was designed as a “completion” fund to allow Guggenheim to offer its Core Plus strategy or Limited Duration strategy, as applicable, to retail separately managed account (“SMA”) clients, with certain investments to be held in the individual SMA and others to be held in the New Fund to “complete” the portfolio. The Board noted the Adviser’s explanation that “completion” funds provide SMA clients with access to investments for which it is harder to separate ownership among multiple SMA clients, allowing for appropriate diversification and enhanced liquidity, as well as increased asset allocation flexibility for the Adviser.

The Board considered the Advisory Agreement in light of the regulatory requirements and criteria and assessed information concerning each New Fund’s proposed advisory fee, anticipated total expense ratio and proposed expense limitation and affiliated fund reimbursement agreements, investment objective, model portfolio, investment process and portfolio management team, proposed benchmark index, market opportunity, and share class features, among other things. The materials provided by Guggenheim to the Board for its consideration included a report for each New Fund prepared by FUSE Research Network LLC (“FUSE”), an independent, third-party research provider, of comparative information on fees and expenses of each New Fund and a peer group of other fixed-income “completion” funds identified by FUSE with similar pricing characteristics.

The Board also took into account the factors considered and the conclusions reached with respect to the renewal of investment advisory agreements with Guggenheim on behalf of other funds in the Guggenheim fund complex in connection with the Board’s 2023 contract review process (the “2023 Contract Review”), including the reports and materials provided by Guggenheim in response to the Board’s initial and supplemental requests for information (the “Previously Provided 15(c) Materials”). The Board noted that Guggenheim provided additional

THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT | 329

ITEM 11: STATEMENT REGARDING BASIS FOR APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT (continued)

information regarding the New Funds for the February Meeting to supplement the Previously Provided 15(c) Materials and to assist the Board in its evaluation of the proposed Advisory Agreement with respect to each New Fund (the “Supplemental Information”). Among other things, the Board considered the Adviser’s statements that: (a) it believes that there have been no material adverse changes to the Previously Provided 15(c) Materials that would affect the Trustees’ ability to fulfill their obligations under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”); (b) it is not aware of any additional information, other than the Supplemental Information, that it believes would be relevant to the Trustees’ considerations; and (c) it believes it has fulfilled its obligations under Section 15(c) to provide all information within its control as may reasonably be necessary for the Trustees to evaluate the terms of the Advisory Agreement with respect to each New Fund.

The Board considered the foregoing reports and materials in the context of its accumulated experience governing the Trust and other funds in the Guggenheim fund complex and weighed the factors and standards discussed with Independent Legal Counsel.

Following an analysis and discussion of relevant factors, including those identified below, and in the exercise of its business judgment, the Board concluded that it was in the best interest of each New Fund to approve the Advisory Agreement for the proposed initial term.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services to Be Provided by the Adviser: With respect to the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by the Adviser to the New Funds, the Board considered the functions to be performed by the Adviser for the New Funds and the nature and quality of services provided by GPIM in the past, including the firm’s management capabilities demonstrated with respect to other funds in the Guggenheim fund complex. The Board considered the qualifications, experience and skills of key personnel that will perform services for the New Funds, including personnel that will provide compliance and risk oversight, as well as the supervisors and reporting lines for such personnel. The Board also considered other information, including Guggenheim’s resources and related efforts to retain, attract and motivate capable personnel to serve the New Funds. In evaluating Guggenheim’s resources and capabilities, the Board considered Guggenheim’s commitment to focusing on, and investing resources in support of, funds in the Guggenheim fund complex, including for each New Fund the commitment to provide seed capital as needed. In addition, the Board considered the acceptability of the terms of the Advisory Agreement, including the scope of services required to be performed by the Adviser, noting that the terms were consistent with the terms of the investment advisory agreements of other open-end funds in the Guggenheim fund complex.

The Board’s review of the services to be provided by Guggenheim to the New Funds included consideration of Guggenheim’s investment processes, portfolio oversight and risk management, and the related regular quarterly reports and presentations received by the Board. The Board took into account the risks to be borne by Guggenheim in sponsoring and providing services to the New Funds, including regulatory, operational, legal and entrepreneurial risks. The Board considered the resources dedicated by Guggenheim to compliance functions and the reporting made to the Board by Guggenheim compliance personnel regarding Guggenheim’s adherence to regulatory requirements. The Board also considered the regular reports it receives from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer regarding compliance policies and procedures established pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. In connection with the Board’s evaluation of the overall package of services to be provided by Guggenheim, the Board considered Guggenheim’s administrative services, including its role in supervising, monitoring, coordinating and evaluating the various services to be provided by the fund administrator, transfer agent, distributor, custodian and other proposed service providers to the New Funds. The Board evaluated the Office of Chief Financial Officer (the “OCFO”), which oversees the fund administration, accounting and transfer agency services provided to the funds in the Guggenheim fund complex, including the OCFO’s resources, personnel and services provided.

The Board also noted the distinctive nature of the New Funds as a “completion” funds for retail SMA clients and that the New Funds will be offered solely for use by (i) retail SMA clients within “wrap fee” programs sponsored by unaffiliated investment advisers and broker-dealers and (ii) potentially other funds in the Guggenheim fund complex.

With respect to Guggenheim’s resources and the Adviser’s ability to carry out its responsibilities under the Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the presentation by the Chief Financial Officer of Guggenheim Investments in connection with the 2023 Contract Review and the related financial information received.

Based on the foregoing, and based on other information received (both oral and written) at the February Meeting and in connection with the 2023 Contract Review, as well as other considerations, including the Board’s knowledge of how the Adviser performs its duties obtained through Board meetings, discussions and reports throughout the year, the Board concluded that the Adviser and its personnel were qualified to serve each New Fund in such capacity.

330 | THE GUGGENHEIM FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT

ITEM 11: STATEMENT REGARDING BASIS FOR APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT (concluded)

Investment Performance: With respect to investment performance, the Board noted that the New Funds have no operating history. The Board considered the proposed investment objectives, strategies and policies of the New Funds, noting that each New Fund will be an actively-managed fixed income fund. The Board took into account GPIM’s overall performance record in managing other actively-managed fixed-income funds in the Guggenheim fund complex, as well as the portfolio managers’ expertise and experience with this type of investment process, and determined that GPIM’s performance was expected to be acceptable.

Comparative Fees, Costs of Services to Be Provided and the Benefits to Be Realized by the Adviser from Its Relationship with the New Funds: The Board considered that pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the New Funds will not pay an advisory fee. The Board noted the Adviser’s explanation that “completion” funds are typically offered without charging an advisory fee to the fund, as SMA clients participating in a “wrap fee” program pay a fee to the program sponsor and GPIM receives an advisory fee for advising the SMAs, and the Board considered information regarding GPIM’s SMA advisory fee. The Board compared each New Fund’s proposed contractual advisory fee and total net expense ratio to the peer group identified by FUSE. The Board also reviewed the median advisory fees and expense ratios, including expense ratio components (e.g., transfer agency fees, administration fees, other operating expenses and fee waivers/reimbursements), of the peer group. In addition, the Board considered information regarding Guggenheim’s process for evaluating the competitiveness of each New Fund’s proposed fees and expenses, noting Guggenheim’s statement that its evaluation seeks to incorporate a variety of factors with a general focus on ensuring fees and expenses: (i) are competitive; (ii) give consideration to resource support requirements; and (iii) ensure the New Fund is able to deliver on shareholder return expectations.

In evaluating the proposed advisory fee and anticipated total net expense ratio for each New Fund, the Board considered the Adviser’s proposed expense limitation agreement with respect to each New Fund, pursuant to which the Adviser would reimburse all ordinary operating expenses of each New Fund for the initial term of the Advisory Agreement. In addition, the Board took into account the proposed affiliated fund reimbursement agreement under which the Adviser agreed, through the initial term of the Advisory Agreement, to reimburse ordinary operating expenses of each New Fund to the extent necessary to offset the proportionate share of any advisory fee paid by the New Fund with respect to an investment in an affiliated underlying fund.

With respect to the costs of services to be provided and estimated level of profitability, the Board noted that the New Funds are newly organized, and that they would have the opportunity in the future to periodically reexamine this matter.

The Board considered other benefits expected to be derived by the Adviser from its relationship with the New Funds and noted Guggenheim’s statement that it does not expect to derive any such “fall-out” benefits. As noted above, the Board included in its considerations the fee that the Adviser would receive for advising the SMAs.

Based on the foregoing, and based on other information received (both oral and written) at the February Meeting and in connection with the 2023 Contract Review, as well as other considerations, the Board concluded that the comparative fees and the benefits expected to be realized by the Adviser from its relationship with the New Funds were appropriate.

Economies of Scale to Be Realized: The Board did not consider economies of scale to be relevant given that the New Funds will not pay an advisory fee.

Overall Conclusions

The Board concluded that the proposed Advisory Agreement is in the best interest of each New Fund, in light of the extent and quality of the services expected to be provided and other benefits expected to be received by the Adviser and the advisory fee structure. In reaching this conclusion, no single factor was determinative or conclusive and each Trustee, in the exercise of their informed business judgment, may afford different weights to different factors.
