Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 461 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the
undersigned, the Chief Executive Officer of Rydex Specialized Products LLC, the

Daylight Saving Time, or as soon as practicable thereafter.
We hereby acknowledge that:
o should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated
authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose
the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;
o the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to
delegated authority, in declaring the Registration Statement
effective, does not relieve the Sponsor on behalf of the Trust
from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the

o the Sponsor and the Trust may not assert the declaration of
effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the
Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the
United States.
