Regulatory Conditions
At Rydex SGI, we are dedicated to providing flexibility to all
our shareholders-including unlimited trading privileges for most of
our funds (see a fund's prospectus for full details). We do not
permit investors to initiate trades after a fund's pricing time. On
the subject of market timing, Rydex SGI's stated policy has always
been to permit unlimited trading privileges in certain funds, with
no exchange fees, to all shareholders-not a selected few. While not
immune from all the effects of active trading, Rydex SGI funds'
portfolios are positioned to manage and minimize the potential
negative effects associated with frequent trading and large cash
flows.
Rydex SGI follows regulatory news closely-including monitoring
releases from regulators and news sources, as well as Congressional
hearings. We regularly assess our practices and procedures to
ensure that we maintain the flexibility that is important to our
shareholders while ensuring that we remain in compliance with any
new regulatory standards. As always, if changes are deemed to be
necessary, we will inform our customers via our Web site and/or
written communication. Rydex SGI values the trust of its
shareholders and will continue to operate in a manner that does not
put that trust in jeopardy.
Certain Rydex SGI funds are not suitable for purchase by active
investors. Please see the fund's prospectus for more
information.
