LETTER TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:

The second and third quarters of 2007 represented one of the most challenging environments for investors in recent

memory. The major market averages started off the period by setting new highs only to dramatically change course

in a four-week period from mid-July to mid-August by staging a gut-wrenching decline. From there, equity markets

embarked on a spectacular rally, retracing almost all of their earlier losses by the end of September. During this

period, global credit markets seized up, and interest rates on super-safe U.S. Treasury securities fell while interest

rates on everything else rose. Investors were right to ask what was happening.

What was happening was that the democratization of credit and its dispersion throughout the global financial system

was showing its nastier side. Reckless home lending practices here in the U.S. found their way into financial markets

across the globe through an array of highly engineered securities with acronyms such as CDOs, CLOs and CMOs.

Regardless of the moniker, the common thread was that by over-collateralizing low-quality debt, as if by alchemy,

vast pools of low-quality mortgages could be transformed from junk status into AAA fixed-income securities.

Hedge funds purchased vast quantities of these structured products and leveraged this seemingly secure income

stream in order to maximize returns. The problem was that Wall Street did not fully take into account how much the

creditworthiness of home buyers had deteriorated in an era of loose underwriting standards. As rising defaults

began to eat into collateral, rating agencies rushed to downgrade large swaths of the mortgage-backed bond

market, sparking a stampede for the door.

Hedge funds were unable to meet redemption requests as investors backed away from credit exposure of all kinds.

A classic credit squeeze began to unfold as buyers disappeared and lenders, not knowing where subprime risk

resided, refused to lend.

With hedge funds failing and credit markets beginning to shut down, central banks stepped in to restore order to

the credit markets. Unfortunately, this backfired and the equity markets recoiled. Midcaps, international stocks,

energy, materials and consumer discretionary stocks all declined by double digit rates as investors attempted to limit

their exposure to the global financial system and to the U.S. consumer who looked to be going into shock.

In this environment, short-term rates came screaming down and credit spreads exploded wider as investors ran for

the safety of short maturity government debt.

The events of August ushered in the most profound development of the period—a change in monetary policy by the

Federal Reserve (“Fed”). For the first time in four years, the Fed cut the benchmark Fed Funds target rate. Given the

events leading up to this, the Fed’s September move was not unanticipated. What was a surprise, however, was the

magnitude of the move. The central bank dropped the Fed Funds rate by a half-point to 4.75%.

With that, the markets exploded in a massive rally that brought the averages almost back to where they had started

the quarter. Moreover, all the sectors that had been pummeled during the previous four weeks led the way higher.

Having suffered through the roughest market in years, investment managers were determined not to miss the rebound.

One of the investment themes that strongly reasserted itself after the July-August sell-off was global growth. With

economic growth in the U.S. slowing, investors are favoring sectors—such as energy, technology and basic

materials—that derive much of their revenues and profits from overseas. For investors who had the fortitude to

maintain their exposure to Rydex sector funds representing those areas over the last six months, they were

handsomely rewarded with strong double digit-returns.

We also think it is very reasonable to assume that equity market volatility will be with us for some time. Low volatility

strategies as represented by the Rydex Absolute Return Strategies, Hedged Equity and Managed Futures Strategy

Funds should provide a nice offset to the more dynamic global growth theme.

We appreciate the trust you have placed in our firm’s quality and integrity by investing with us.

Sincerely,

David Reilly, CFA

Director of Portfolio Strategies

A BRIEF NOTE ON THE COMPOUNDING OF RETURNS (Unaudited)

Many of the Rydex Funds described in this report are benchmarked daily to leveraged or inverse

leveraged versions of published indices. To properly evaluate the performance of these funds, it is

essential to understand the effect of mathematical compounding on their respective returns.

Because of the nonlinear effects of leverage applied over time, it is possible for a fund to perform in line

with its benchmark for several individual periods in a row, yet seem to trail the benchmark over the entire

period. It is also possible that a fund that performs in-line with its benchmark on a daily basis may seem

to outperform its benchmark over longer periods.

An Example of Compounding

For example, consider a hypothetical fund that is designed to produce returns that correspond to 150%

of an index. On the first day of a period, the index rises from a level of 100 to a level of 106, producing a

6.0% gain and an expectation that the fund will rise by 9.0%. On the same day, the fund’s net asset value

(“NAV”) increases from $10.00 to $10.90 for a gain of 9.0%–in line with its benchmark.

On day two, assume the index falls from 106 to 99 for a loss of about 6.6%. The fund, as expected, falls

9.9% to a price of $9.82. On each day, the fund performed exactly in line with its benchmark, but for the

two-day period, the fund was down 1.8%, while the index was down only 1.0%. Without taking into

account the daily compounding of returns, one would expect the fund to lose 1.5% and would see the

fund as trailing by 0.3% when in fact it had performed perfectly. This example is summarized in the table

below.

As illustrated by this simple example, the effect of leverage can make it difficult to form expectations or

judgments about fund performance given only the returns of the unleveraged index.

In general, any change in direction in an index will produce compounding that seems to work against an

investor. Were the index to move in the same direction (either up or down) for two or more periods in a

row, the compounding of those returns would work in an investor’s favor, causing the fund to seemingly

beat its benchmark.

As a general rule of thumb, more leverage in a fund will magnify the compounding effect, while less

leverage will generally produce more results that are more in line with expectations. In addition, periods

of high volatility in an underlying index will also cause the effects of compounding to be more

pronounced, while lower volatility will produce a more muted effect.

ABOUT SHAREHOLDERS’ FUND EXPENSES (Unaudited)

All mutual funds have operating expenses and it is important for our shareholders to understand the

impact of costs on their investments. Shareholders of a Fund incur two types of costs: (i) transaction costs,

including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions;

redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (ii) ongoing costs, including management fees, administrative

services, and shareholder reports, among others. These ongoing costs, or operating expenses, are

deducted from a fund’s gross income and reduce the investment return of the fund.

A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets, which is known as the

expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help investors understand the ongoing costs (in

dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other

mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period

and held for the entire six-month period beginning March 31, 2007 and ending September 30, 2007.

The following tables illustrate a Fund’s costs in two ways:

Table 1. Based on actual Fund return. This section helps investors estimate the actual expenses paid

over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return, and the

fourth column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with

$1,000 in the Fund. Investors may use the information here, together with the amount invested, to

estimate the expenses paid over the period. Simply divide the Fund’s account value by $1,000 (for

example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number

provided under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Table 2. Based on hypothetical 5% return. This section is intended to help investors compare a Fund’s

cost with those of other mutual funds. The table provides information about hypothetical account

values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of

return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account

values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses paid

during the period. The example is useful in making comparisons because the U.S. Securities and

Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on the 5%

return. Investors can assess a Fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the

hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Certain retirement plans such as IRA, SEP, Roth IRA and 403(b) accounts are charged an annual $15

maintenance fee. Upon liquidating a retirement account, a $15 account-closing fee will be taken from

the proceeds of the redemption.

The calculations above assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Actual costs may have

been higher or lower, depending on the amount of investment and the timing of any purchases or

redemptions.

Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help compare ongoing costs only

and do not reflect any transactional costs which may be incurred by a Fund.

More information about a Fund’s expenses, including annual expense ratios for the past five years, can be

found in the Financial Highlights section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses

and other shareholder costs, please refer to the appropriate Fund prospectus.

Federal Income Tax Information

The Funds intend to comply with the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated

investment companies and will distribute substantially all net investment income and capital gains to shareholders.

Therefore, no Federal income tax provision has been recorded.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ

from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for

derivatives, foreign currency transactions, losses deferred due to wash sales, losses deferred due to post-October losses,

and excise tax regulations.

Permanent book and tax basis differences, if any, will result in reclassifications. This includes reclasses due to net operating

losses, non-deductible expenses, differences in the treatment of certain investments, and the utilization of earnings and

profits distributed to the shareholders on redemption of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax

purposes. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share.

At September 30, 2007, the cost of securities for Federal income tax purposes, the aggregate gross unrealized gain for all

securities for which there was an excess of value over tax cost and the aggregate gross unrealized loss for all securities for

which there was an excess of tax cost over value were as follows:

Repurchase Agreements

The Trust transfers uninvested cash balances into a single joint account, the daily aggregate balance of which is invested in

one or more repurchase agreements collateralized by obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government Agencies. The

collateral is in the possession of the Trust’s custodian and is evaluated daily to ensure that its market value exceeds by, at a

minimum, 102% of the delivery value of the repurchase agreements at maturity. Each Fund holds a pro rata share of the

collateral based on the dollar amount of the repurchase agreement entered into by each Fund.

The repurchase agreements executed by the joint account and outstanding as of September 30, 2007, were as follows:

In the event of counterparty default, the Trust has the right to collect the collateral to offset losses incurred. There is

potential loss to the Trust in the event the Trust is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the

collateral securities, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while

the Trust seeks to assert its rights. The Trust’s investment advisor, acting under the supervision of the Board of Trustees,

reviews the value of the collateral and the creditworthiness of those banks and dealers with which the Trust enters into

repurchase agreements to evaluate potential risks.

Portfolio Securities Loaned

The Trust may lend its securities to approved brokers to earn additional income. Security lending income shown on the

statement of operations is shown net of rebates paid to borrowers and earnings on cash collateral investments shared with

the lending agent. Within this arrangement, the Trust acts as the lender, U.S. Bank acts as the agent, and other approved

registered broker dealers act as the borrowers. The Trust receives cash collateral, valued at 100% of the value of the

securities on loan, which is initially held in a segregated account at U.S. Bank. As agent, U.S. Bank may, for investment

purposes, pool the Trust’s collateral in joint accounts with cash collateral from one or more other securities lending

customers of U.S. Bank. Under the terms of the Trust’s securities lending agreement with U.S. Bank, cash collateral may be

invested by U.S. Bank in certain high quality, liquid investments. At September 30, 2007, the pooled cash collateral

investments consisted of mutual funds (92.02%) and repurchase agreements (7.98%). Collateral is maintained over the life

of the loan in an amount not less than the value of loaned securities, as determined at the close of fund business each day;

any additional collateral required due to changes in security values is delivered to the Fund the next business day. Although

the collateral mitigates risk, the Trust could experience a delay in recovering its securities and a possible loss of income or

value if the borrower fails to return the securities. The Trust has the right under the securities lending agreement to recover

the securities from the borrower on demand.

New Accounting Pronouncements

On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for

Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized,

measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or

expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns 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. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal

years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. Recent SEC

guidance allows implementing FIN 48 in fund net asset value calculations as late as a fund’s last net asset value calculation

in the first required financial statement reporting period. Management adopted FIN 48 on September 28, 2007. There was

no material impact to the financial statements or disclosures thereto as a result of the adoption of this pronouncement.

On September 15, 2006, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157 (“FAS 157”) Fair Value

Measurement which provided enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The standard

requires companies to provide expanded information about the assets and liabilities measured at fair value and the

potential effect of these fair valuations on an entity’s financial performance. The standard does not expand the use of fair

value in any new circumstances, but provides clarification on acceptable fair valuation methods and applications. Adoption

of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The standard is not expected to materially

impact the Funds’ financial statements.

10. Dissolution of the Master/Feeder Arrangement

Effective April 1, 2007, the Nova Master Portfolio, the Inverse S&P 500 Master Portfolio, the Inverse OTC Master Portfolio,

the Inverse Government Long Bond Master Portfolio, the Nova Fund, the Inverse S&P 500 Fund, the Inverse OTC Fund,

and the Inverse Government Long Bond Fund ceased operations under the Master/Feeder Arrangement. The Master

Portfolios and corresponding Feeder Funds were consolidated into the existing Funds, leaving the Nova Fund, the Inverse

S&P 500 Strategy Fund, the Inverse OTC Strategy Fund, and the Inverse Government Long Bond Strategy Fund. As a

result of the Master/Feeder dissolution, the Trust now consists of only fifty-three Funds. All other fund operations will

continue unchanged. There was no change in the aggregate market value of the outstanding shares, nor in the NAV of the

Funds as a result of this transaction.

The following table represents the Net Investment Income of the Funds as previously reported and as revised in the

Financial Highlights of this report.

11. Acquisition of Rydex Investments and the Distributor

On June 28, 2007, Rydex NV, Inc. and Security Benefit Corporation (“Security Benefit”) entered into an agreement

pursuant to which Rydex Investments, together with several other Rydex entities, will be acquired by Security Benefit, a

financial services firm that provides a broad variety of financial programs to investors in the advisor, banking, education,

government, institutional, and qualified plan markets (the “Transaction”). Upon completion of the Transaction, Rydex

Investments and the Distributor will be wholly-owned subsidiaries of Security Benefit. While the Transaction will have no

material impact on the Funds or their shareholders, it will result in a change of control of Rydex Investments, which in turn

will cause the termination of the investment advisory agreement between Rydex Investments and the Funds.

As a result, a Special Meeting of Shareholders (the “Meeting”) of the Funds was held on October 4, 2007, for the purpose

of asking shareholders of record to approve a new investment advisory agreement between Rydex Investments and the

Funds under substantially the same terms as the previous investment advisory agreement (the “New Agreement”). If

approved by shareholders, the New Agreement will take effect upon the closing of the Transaction, which is currently

anticipated to occur in the 4th Quarter of 2007. Shareholders of the Funds will receive additional, and more detailed,

information about the Transaction as that information becomes available.

The Transaction will have no impact on the day-to-day operations of Rydex Investments, the fees payable to Rydex

Investments under the New Agreement, or the persons responsible for the management of the Funds. Thus, the

Transaction should have no impact on the Funds’ shareholders.

Rydex Investments Board Review and Approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement

The Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) requires that the initial approval of, as well as the continuation of, a

fund’s investment advisory agreement be specifically approved by the vote of a majority of the trustees who are not parties

to the investment advisory agreement or “interested persons” of any party (the “Independent Trustees”), cast in person at

a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. In connection with such approvals, the fund’s trustees must

request and evaluate, and the investment adviser is required to furnish, such information as may be reasonably necessary to

evaluate the terms of the advisory agreement. In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) takes the

position that, as part of their fiduciary duties with respect to fund fees, fund boards are required to evaluate the material

factors applicable to a decision to approve an investment advisory agreement.

Consistent with these responsibilities, the Rydex Series Funds Board of Trustees (the “Board”) generally calls and holds one

meeting each year that is dedicated to considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements between Rydex

Series Funds (the “Trust”) and PADCO Advisors, Inc., which does business under the name Rydex Investments (“Rydex

Investments”), (the “Current Agreements”) with respect to existing funds in the Trust, including the funds discussed in this

Semi-Annual Report (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), and to reviewing certain other agreements pursuant to

which Rydex Investments provides investment advisory services to certain other registered investment companies. In

preparation for the meeting, the Board requests and reviews a wide variety of materials provided by Rydex Investments,

including information about Rydex Investments’ affiliates, personnel and operations. The Board also receives data provided

by third parties. This information is in addition to the detailed information about the Funds that the Board reviews during

the course of each year, including information that relates to Fund operations and performance. The Board also receives a

memorandum from Fund counsel regarding the responsibilities of the Board for the approval of investment advisory

agreements. In addition, the Independent Trustees receive advice from independent counsel to the Independent Trustees,

meet in executive session outside the presence of fund management, and participate in question and answer sessions with

representatives of Rydex Investments.

At a Special Meeting of the Board held on July 10, 2007, and subsequently, during the Board’s regular quarterly meeting

held on August 27 and 28, 2007 (the “Annual Renewal Meeting” and together with the July 10, 2007 Meeting, the

“Meetings”), the Board considered and voted in favor of new investment advisory agreements for Rydex Series Funds

(each, a “New Agreement” and collectively, the “New Agreements”), which, subject to their approval by each Fund’s

shareholders, will enable Rydex Investments to continue to serve as investment adviser to each Fund after the completion

of the acquisition of Rydex Investments’ parent, Rydex Holdings, Inc. (the “Transaction”). During the Annual Renewal

Meeting, the Board also considered and approved the selection of Rydex Investments and the continuance of the Current

Agreements for an additional one-year period or until the closing of the Transaction, based on its review of qualitative and

quantitative information provided by Rydex Investments.

Board Considerations in Approving the New Agreements and the Continuation of the Current Agreements

In preparation for the Annual Renewal Meeting, the Board requested and received written materials from Rydex

Investments about: (a) the quality of Rydex Investments’ investment management and other services; (b) Rydex

Investments’ investment management personnel; (c) Rydex Investments’ operations and financial condition; (d) Rydex

Investments’ brokerage practices (including any soft dollar arrangements) and investment strategies; (e) the level of the

THE RYDEX SERIES FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT

doc00000004_image130-00.jpg960x1243

OTHER INFORMATION (Unaudited) (continued)

advisory fees that Rydex Investments charges the Funds compared with the fees it charges to comparable mutual funds or

accounts; (f) each Fund’s overall fees and operating expenses compared with similar mutual funds; (g) the level of Rydex

Investments’ profitability from its Fund-related operations; (h) Rydex Investments’ compliance systems; (i) Rydex

Investments’ policies on and compliance procedures for personal securities transactions; (j) Rydex Investments’ reputation,

expertise and resources in the financial markets; and (k) Fund performance compared with similar mutual funds. Certain of

these considerations are discussed in more detail below.

In its deliberations at the Annual Renewal Meeting, the Board did not identify any single piece of information that was all-

important or controlling. Based on the Board’s deliberations and its evaluation of the information referenced above and

described in more detail below, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, unanimously: (a) concluded that terms

of the Current Agreements and New Agreements were fair and reasonable; (b) concluded that Rydex Investments’ fees were

reasonable in light of the services that Rydex Investments provides to the Funds; (c) agreed to renew each Current

Agreement for an additional one-year term; and (d) agreed to approve the New Agreements for an initial term of two years.

In approving the New Agreements and the continuation of the Current Agreements at the Annual Renewal Meeting, the

Board, including the Independent Trustees advised by independent counsel, considered the factors discussed below.

Nature, Extent And Quality Of Services Provided By Rydex Investments

At the Annual Renewal Meeting, the Board reviewed the scope of services to be provided by Rydex Investments

under each Current Agreement and noted that there would be no significant differences between the scope of

services required to be provided by Rydex Investments for the past year and the scope of services required to be

provided by Rydex Investments for the upcoming year. In reviewing the scope of services provided to the Funds by

Rydex Investments, the Board reviewed and discussed Rydex Investments’ investment experience, noting that Rydex

Investments and its affiliates have committed significant resources over time to the support of the Funds. The Board

also considered Rydex Investments’ compliance program and its compliance record with respect to the Funds. In that

regard, the Board noted that Rydex Investments provides information regarding the portfolio management and

compliance to the Board on a periodic basis in connection with regularly scheduled meetings of the Board. In addition

to the above considerations, the Board reviewed and considered Rydex Investments’ investment processes and

strategies, and matters related to Rydex Investments’ portfolio transaction policies and procedures. With respect to

those Funds that invest in unaffiliated ETFs in reliance on exemptive orders pursuant to Section 12(d)(1), the Board

considered and determined that the advisory fees charged under the Current Agreements are based on services

provided that will be in addition to, rather than duplicative of, the services provides under the investment advisory

agreement of any ETF in which the Funds are invested. In particular, the Board recognized that Rydex Investments

must manage a Fund’s investment in an unaffiliated ETF in the same manner as other investments in the Fund’s

portfolio in order to ensure that the Fund achieves its investment objective. Thus, a Fund’s investment in an unaffiliated

ETF does not alleviate Rydex Investments’ duties and responsibilities as investment adviser to the Fund. The Board

also noted the substantial volume of portfolio trades and shareholder transaction activity, in general, processed by

Rydex Investments due to the unlimited exchange policy of the majority of the Funds. The Board further noted that

the Funds have consistently met their investment objectives since their respective inception dates. Based on this

review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services to be provided by Rydex Investments to

the Funds under the Current Agreements were appropriate and continued to support the Board’s original selection of

Rydex Investments as investment adviser to the Funds.

Fund Expenses And Performance Of The Funds And Rydex Investments

At the Annual Renewal Meeting, the Board reviewed statistical information prepared by Rydex Investments regarding

the expense ratio components, including actual advisory fees, waivers/reimbursements, and gross and net total

expenses of each Fund in comparison with the same information for other funds registered under the 1940 Act

determined by Rydex Investments to comprise each Fund’s applicable peer group. Because few funds seek to provide

unlimited exchange privileges similar to those of the majority of the Funds, each Fund’s applicable peer group is

generally limited to the funds of two unaffiliated mutual fund families. In addition, the Board reviewed statistical

information prepared by Rydex Investments relating to the performance of each Fund, as well as each Fund’s ability to

successfully track its benchmark over time, and a comparison of each Fund’s performance to funds with similar

investment objectives for the same periods and to appropriate indices/benchmarks, in light of total return, yield and

market trends. The Board further noted that despite the unique nature of the Funds, the peer fund information

presented to the Board was meaningful because the peer funds’ investment objectives and strategies were closely

aligned with those of the Funds. The Board noted that most of the Funds either outperformed their peer funds or

128

THE RYDEX SERIES FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT

doc00000004_image131-00.jpg960x1243

OTHER INFORMATION (Unaudited) (continued)

performed in line with them over relevant periods. The Board also noted that the investment advisory fees for the Funds

were equivalent to those of their peers and that the overall expenses for the Funds were only slightly higher than the

total expenses of the peer funds, due in part to differing share classes and distribution fees. Based on this review, the

Board concluded that the investment advisory fees and expense levels and the historical performance of the Funds, as

managed by Rydex Investments, as compared to the investment advisory fees and expense levels and performance of

the peer funds, were satisfactory for the purposes of approving the continuance of the Current Agreements.

Costs Of Services Provided To The Funds And Profits Realized By Rydex Investments And Its Affiliates

At the Annual Renewal Meeting, the Board reviewed information about the profitability of the Funds to Rydex

Investments based on the advisory fees payable under the Current Agreements for the last calendar year. Rydex

Investments also presented the Board with material discussing its methodology for determining the level of advisory

fees assessable to the Funds. The Board analyzed the Funds’ expenses, including the investment advisory fees paid to

Rydex Investments. The Board also reviewed information regarding direct revenue received by Rydex Investments and

ancillary revenue received by Rydex Investments and/or its affiliates in connection with the services provided to the

Funds by Rydex Investments (as discussed below) and/or its affiliates. The Board also discussed Rydex Investments’

profit margin as reflected in Rydex Investments’ profitability analysis and reviewed information regarding economies of

scale (as discussed below). Based on this review, the Board concluded that the profits to be realized by Rydex

Investments and its affiliates under the Current Agreements and from other relationships between the Funds and

Rydex Investments and/or its affiliates, if any, were within the range the Board considered reasonable and appropriate.

Economies Of Scale

In connection with its review of the Funds’ profitability analysis at the Annual Renewal Meeting, the Board reviewed

information regarding economies of scale or other efficiencies that may result from increases in the Funds’ asset levels.

The Board noted that neither the Current Agreements nor the New Agreements for the Funds provided for any

breakpoints in the investment advisory fees as a result of increases in the asset levels of the Funds. The Board also

noted that though Rydex Investments’ assets under management were significant, the amount is spread among more

than 100 Funds. Further limiting the realization of economies of scale, is the ability of shareholders of many of the

Funds to engage in unlimited trading. The Board also reviewed and considered Rydex Investments’ historic profitability

as investment adviser to the Funds and determined that reductions in advisory fees or additions of breakpoints were

not warranted at this juncture. Based on this review, the Board, recognizing its responsibility to consider this issue at

least annually, determined that the economies of scale, if any, were de minimis.

Other Benefits To Rydex Investments And/Or Its Affiliates

At the Annual Renewal Meeting, in addition to evaluating the services provided by Rydex Investments, the Board also

considered the nature, extent, quality and cost of the administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed

by Rydex Investments’ affiliates under separate agreements. The Board noted that Rydex Investments reports its use

of soft dollars to the Board on a quarterly basis, as well as any portfolio transactions on behalf of the Funds placed

through an affiliate of the Funds or Rydex Investments pursuant to Rule 17e-1 under the 1940 Act. Based on its review,

the Board concluded that the nature and quality of the services provided by Rydex Investments’ affiliates to each Trust

will benefit the Funds’ shareholders, and that any ancillary benefits would not be disadvantageous to the Funds’

shareholders, particularly in light of the Board’s view that the Funds’ shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that

is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment strategies and services.

Additional Considerations in Approving the New Agreements

On June 18, 2007, the Trustees met with representatives of Security Benefit and the management of Rydex Investments for

the purpose of learning more about Security Benefit and the proposed Transaction. Immediately following the

announcement that Rydex and Security Benefit entered into a purchase and sale agreement, the Trustees requested that

Rydex Investments provide the Board with additional information pertaining to the effect of the proposed change of

control on Rydex Investments’ personnel and operations and the terms of the New Agreements. Rydex Investments

presented its response to the Board’s request for additional information prior to and at a Special Meeting of the Boards of

Trustees held on July 10, 2007. Rydex Investments provided the Board with oral and written information to help the Board

evaluate the impact of the change of control on Rydex Investments, Rydex Investments’ ability to continue to provide

investment advisory services to the Funds under the New Agreements, and informed the Board that the contractual rate of

Rydex Investments’ fees will not change under the New Agreements. Rydex Investments also affirmed that the terms of the

New Agreements were the same in all material respects to those of the Current Agreements.

OTHER INFORMATION (Unaudited) (concluded)

The Trustees deliberated on the approval of each New Agreement in light of the information provided. The Board

determined that the terms of the New Agreements set forth materially similar rights, duties and obligations on Rydex

Investments with regard to the services to be provided to the Trusts, and provided at least the same level of protection to

each Trust, the Funds and the Funds’ shareholders as the Current Agreements. The Board also noted that Rydex

Investments’ fee for its services to the Funds under the New Agreements would be the same as its fees under the Current

Agreements. The Board further noted that all considerations, determinations and findings related to the approval of the

continuation of the Current Agreements, as discussed above, were equally relevant to their approval of the New

Agreements, along with the additional factors relevant to the proposed change of control discussed below.

Nature, Extent And Quality Of Services Provided By The Advisor

The Board noted that Rydex Investments was taking appropriate steps to maintain its associates through the closing of

the Transaction by, in part, keeping them informed of the potential Transaction and awarding key personnel with

incentives to emphasize their value to Rydex Investments. As a result of these efforts, it is anticipated that the key

investment and management personnel servicing the Funds will remain with Rydex Investments following the

Transaction and that the investment and management services provided to the Funds by Rydex Investments will not

change. The Board also considered Rydex Investments’ and Security Benefit’s representations to the Board that

Security Benefit intends for Rydex Investments to continue to operate following the closing of the Transaction in much

the same manner as it operates today, and that the Transaction should have no impact on the day-to-day operations of

Rydex Investments, or the persons responsible for the management of the Funds. Based on this review, the Board

concluded that the range and quality of services provided by Rydex Investments to the Funds were appropriate and

were expected to continue under the New Agreements, and that there was no reason to expect the consummation of

the Transaction to have any adverse effect on the services provided by Rydex Investments and its affiliates or the

future performance of the Funds.

Fund Expenses

The Board also considered the fact that the fees payable to Rydex Investments and other expenses of the Funds

would be the same under the New Agreements as they are under the Current Agreements, and on this basis, the

Board concluded that these fees and expenses continued to be satisfactory for the purposes of approving the New

Agreements. More detailed information regarding the fees under each New Agreement is contained in the Proxy

Statement and accompanying materials dated September 6, 2007.

Costs Of Services Provided To The Funds And Profits Realized By Rydex Investments And Its Affiliates

Because Rydex Investments’ fees under the New Agreements are the same as those assessed under the Current

Agreements, the Board concluded that the profits to be realized by Rydex Investments and its respective affiliates

under the New Agreements and from other relationships between the Funds and Rydex Investments, if any, should

remain within the range the Board considered reasonable and appropriate. The Board further noted that, although it is

not possible to predict how the Transaction may affect Rydex Investments’ future profitability from its relationship with

the Funds, this matter would be given further consideration on an annual basis going forward.

Economies Of Scale

The Board further considered the potential economies of scale that may result from the Transaction, and concluded

that the extent of such economies of scale could not be predicted in advance of the closing of the Transaction.
