On September 16, 2016, the Board of Trustees of Rydex Series Funds approved a reverse share split of the issued and outstanding shares of the above-listed Funds, pursuant to which shareholders will receive one share in exchange for the number of shares of each Fund they currently own, as follows:

Fund
Split Ratio
(New to Old Shares)
Commodities Strategy Fund
1:12
Emerging Markets Bond Strategy Fund
1:4
Energy Fund
1:4
Europe 1.25x Strategy Fund
1:6
Inverse Emerging Markets 2x Strategy Fund
1:6
Inverse High Yield Strategy Fund
1:4
Inverse NASDAQ-100® Strategy Fund
1:4
Inverse S&P 500® Strategy Fund
1:6
Japan 2x Strategy Fund
1:4
Weakening Dollar 2x Strategy Fund
1:6

The reverse share split for the Commodities Strategy Fund, Europe 1.25x Strategy Fund, Inverse Emerging Markets 2x Strategy Fund, Inverse S&P 500® Strategy Fund and Weakening Dollar 2x Strategy Fund is scheduled to occur after the close of markets on or after October 28, 2016, with shares being offered on a split-adjusted basis on or after October 31, 2016. The reverse share split




for the Emerging Markets Bond Strategy Fund, Energy Fund, Inverse High Yield Strategy Fund, Inverse NASDAQ-100® Strategy Fund and Japan 2x Strategy Fund is scheduled to occur after the close of markets on or after November 4, 2016, with shares being offered on a split-adjusted basis on or after November 7, 2016.

As a result of the reverse share split, a multiple of shares owned of each Fund, as specified in the above chart (i.e., four, six or twelve), will be exchanged for one share. Accordingly, the reverse share split will have the effect of reducing the number of each Fund’s issued and outstanding shares and proportionately increasing the net asset value (“NAV”) per share of each Fund. The market value of each Fund’s issued and outstanding shares will remain the same. The reverse share split provides shareholders of each Fund with fewer shares of the Fund, but the value of a shareholders’ investment in the Fund will not change as a result of the reverse share split. In addition, the reverse share split will not affect any shareholder’s rights, preferences or privileges associated with each Fund’s issued and outstanding shares. The table below illustrates the effect of hypothetical reverse share splits on a shareholder’s investment:
