INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR SERIES EXPENSES (Unaudited)
December 31, 2010
Calculating your ongoing Series expenses
As a shareholder of the Series, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other series expenses. Performance figures and expense ratios do not reflect fees and expenses associated with an investment in variable insurance products. Shares of a Series of SBL Fund are available only through the purchase of such products. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Series and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, June 30, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
Actual Expenses
The first table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your 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 in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Series actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Series actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Series and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other mutual funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any fees and expenses associated with an investment in variable insurance products. Therefore, the second table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these fees and expenses associated with an investment in variable insurance products were included, your costs would have been higher.

MANAGERS’ COMMENTARY December 31, 2010 | | Rydex|SGI SBL Fund Series A (Large Cap Core Series) (Unaudited) |
| | |
|
| Advised by: |  |
To Our Shareholders:
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, the Rydex|SGI SBL Fund — Series A (Large Cap Core Series) (formerly, Equity Series) returned 16.37%, outperforming the benchmark S&P 500® Index’s return of 15.06% and the Series’ peer group median return of 14.37%.
The Series’ strategy uses a blended approach, investing in growth and value stocks. Growth oriented stocks are securities of established companies that typically have a record of consistent earnings growth greater than the overall market. Value oriented stocks are securities of companies that are believed to be trading well below their intrinsic value.
Our strategy is to buy companies that are trading at a significant discount to their intrinsic value. Our investment approach is a defined and disciplined process of three clear philosophical tenants that drive our investment decisions: a valuation focus, a long-term perspective and an opportunistic approach.
This investment process is fundamentally driven and quantitatively aided. We use proprietary screens to identify potential companies for investment and then perform rigorous fundamental analysis to identify the best ideas. Through this fundamental research, we determine an estimate of intrinsic value and thus a valuation target for each idea. We construct the portfolios based on the level of conviction generated by this bottom-up analysis and the upside/downside profile associated with each company.
Industrials and Information Technology Top Performers
The Series’ investments in the industrials sectors were the largest contributors to portfolio performance due to stock selection. Additional benefits were gained through a significant overweight position in the sector, 17% compared to 11% for the index (S&P 500® Index). Overall, holdings in the sector for the portfolio gained 32% versus 26% for the benchmark (S&P 500® Index). The portfolio held twelve positions in the sector with more than a 1% weight. Parker Hannifin Corp. and McDermott International, Inc. both surged more than 60%. Cummins, Inc. was up 50% while Cooper Industries PLC, Boeing Co., and Union Pacific Corp. all recorded more than 40% increases.
The portfolio’s information technology holdings were an equal weight to the index; however, the sector beat that of the index 16% to 11%. Tyco Electronics Ltd. increased 48% while EMC Corp. gained 31% during the calendar year. Other contributors to the Series were Oracle Corp., Motorola, Inc., and Xerox Corp.
Health Care, Consumer Discretionary, and Financials Disappoint
Holdings in the health care sector, a slight underweight position, lost 5% of their value while those in the index gained 3%, making it the poorest performing sector in the portfolio. Celgene Corp., McKesson Corp., and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. all declined in double-digit territory.
Even though the Series’ holdings in the consumer discretionary sector gained 25%, it wasn’t able to keep pace with the 28% return for the benchmark. Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., a holding not in the index, lost 29%. Kohl’s Corp. was a negative contributor due to the time frame in which it was held in the portfolio, eventually giving up 16% of its value.
Holdings in the financials sector also hurt performance. Meaningful positions in Western Union Co. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. that didn’t perform as expected pulled down returns.
Outlook
Our bottom-up approach looks at market uncertainty in the context of the potential long-term impact on individual companies. It is in times as these when our core philosophy and disciplined process becomes paramount. We continue to use a rigorous fundamental research process to identify strong companies from a risk perspective. Our focus is on identifying companies with the ability to be substantially better over the next three to

MANAGERS’ COMMENTARY | | Series B (Large Cap Value Series) |
December 31, 2010 | | (Unaudited) |
| | |
|
Advised by: |  |
To Our Shareholders:
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, the Rydex|SGI SBL Fund — Series B (Large Cap Value Series) returned 16.17%, outperforming the benchmark Russell 1000® Value Index’s return of 15.51% and the Series’ peer group median return of 13.83%.
Our strategy is to buy companies that are trading at a significant discount to their intrinsic value. Our investment approach is a defined and disciplined process with three clear philosophical tenants that drive our investment decisions: a valuation focus, a long-term perspective and an opportunistic approach.
Our investment process is fundamentally driven and quantitatively aided. We use proprietary screens to identify potential companies for investment and then perform rigorous fundamental analysis to identify the best ideas. Through this fundamental research, we determine an estimate of intrinsic value and thus a valuation target for each idea. We construct the portfolios based on the level of conviction generated by this bottom-up analysis and the upside/downside profile associated with each company. For Series B, we apply this philosophy to a broad range of value names.
Industrials and Financials Top Performers
The Series’ top performing sectors led the portfolio through a combination of superior security selection and allocation to the sectors.
The portfolio had a near double-weighting to stocks in the industrials sector, which contained 19% of total assets. Overall, the sector was one of the best performing in the portfolio with gains of 29%. Holdings in McDermott International, Inc. and Parker Hannifin Corp. surged more than 60% while Union Pacific Corp. was up 47%.
In contrast, the financials sector of the portfolio benefited by being underweight the benchmark (Russell 1000® Value Index), 21% to 27%. Additionally, holdings in Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. (CI A) and Regions Financial Corp. contributed to outperformance. Other holdings in the sector that did well included AON Corp., Fifth Third Bancorp, and JPMorgan Chase & Co.
Consumer Discretionary and Energy Disappoint
Holdings in the consumer discretionary and energy sectors detracted from performance due to stock selection. Both sectors in the portfolio were relatively even weights with the index (Russell 1000® Value Index).
As a sector, holdings in consumer discretionary gained 15%, well below the 27% returns garnered by the benchmark. Three of the four holdings in the sector hurt performance, which included Lowe’s Cos., Time Warner, Inc., and Best Buy Co., Inc. While Lowe’s and Time Warner had positive gains for the period, it wasn’t enough to keep pace with the index.
Energy holdings could not keep up with the benchmark. The sector gained 20% for the portfolio, materially less than the 26% increase in the index even though most holdings added positive returns. Detracting from performance was Chesapeake Energy Corp., which gained just 1%, and ConocoPhillips.
Outlook
Our bottom-up approach looks at market uncertainty in the context of the potential long-term impact on individual companies. Often times, volatility provides opportunity. We are maintaining flexibility in the portfolios to take advantage of these opportunities as they arise. Our focus is on identifying companies with the ability to be substantially better over the next three to five years or have the potential to maintain their return on capital at current levels in a difficult economic environment.
We believe that investing is a long-term pursuit that requires patience and a consistent approach. We recognize there are many investment fund alternatives available today and thank you for your business and the confidence you place in us.
Sincerely,
Mark A. Mitchell, CFA, Portfolio Manager

MANAGER’S COMMENTARY December 31, 2010 | | Rydex|SGI SBL Fund Series C (Money Market Series) (Unaudited) |
| | |
|
| Advised by: |  |
To Our Shareholders:
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, the Rydex|SGI SBL Fund — Series C (Money Market Series) returned -0.44%, less than the benchmark I-Money Net Retail Tier 1® of 0.03% and the 0.14% performance of its peer group for the same period.
The Federal Reserve Board continues to hold rates near 0%, making it a challenge to maintain a positive yield. The Fed has signaled that it will continue to keep rates low in the near future.
Composition of Portfolio Assets
At December 31, 2010, the average weighted maturity of the holdings in the Series was 31 days.
The Series’ assets were concentrated in commercial paper and U.S. government sponsored agency bonds and notes. At year-end, approximately 9% of the Series consisted of U.S. Government/Agency obligations, 34% of Repurchase Agreements, and 57% in Commercial Paper.
Market Review
The Federal Reserve has repeatedly stated its intention to keep rates low for the foreseeable future, which will continue to be challenging for money market portfolios as there is very little yield available. Because of the historically low yields, returns in the Series turned negative after the application of management fees.
Newly instituted SEC regulations require at least 30% of portfolio assets to be invested in government issues or equivalent securities, such as repurchase agreements. Additionally, average weighted maturity is now limited to a maximum of 60 days. Both changes err on the side of safety but weigh on the yield of money market funds.
The Money Market Series focused on the high quality issuers and short duration periods due to the relatively flat yield curve over 60 day maturities, which provided no incentive to move out on the duration scale. We invested in asset-backed commercial paper of large, well-diversified programs that offer multiple layers of protection.
Outlook
Our philosophy in managing the Money Market Series is to take a conservative approach that doesn’t add risk to the portfolio by reaching for marginal gains in yield. With the yield environment likely to remain as is for the time being, we will continue to manage the Series conservatively with expectations of low returns. As always, we will continue to monitor the economic and market conditions when deciding portfolio strategies and will adjust the asset mix and maturity structure in the portfolio accordingly.
Thank you for your investment in the Money Market Series.
We appreciate the confidence that you have placed in us and continue to focus on achieving the Series’ investment goals.
Sincerely,
Steve McFeely, Portfolio Manager

MANAGERS’ COMMENTARY December 31, 2010 | | Rydex|SGI SBL Fund Series D (Global Series) (Unaudited) |
| | |
|
| Advised by: |  |
To Our Shareholders:
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, the Rydex|SGI SBL Fund — Series D (Global Series) returned 15.69%, outperforming the benchmark, Morgan Stanley Capital International, Inc. (MSCI) World® Index return of 11.76% and the peer group median return of 12.24%.
The global team believes that excess return opportunities exist in global stock markets and that those opportunities are best identified and captured at the security level. Investing globally offers the greatest exposure to excess return opportunities while enhancing the ability to diversify risk. Successfully identifying and exploiting these opportunities requires thorough fundamental research. Superior stock selection continues to be the trademark for the team’s performance as selection effect accounts for nearly all the return of the portfolio.
The investment team employs a bottom-up approach to the global equity universe to identify and invest in the best opportunities around the world. The team melds sophisticated screening techniques, input from management meetings, and insights into global/regional trends to identify investment opportunities from around the world. Relative valuation and relative business momentum is a specific focus of the screening criteria. The team’s fundamental research is original and uses primary sources to substantiate forecasts and investment theses.
Financials, Information Technology, and Energy Top Performers
Holdings in the Global Series’ financials, information technology, and energy sectors contributed to portfolio performance through superior security selection.
While a slight underweight position, the financials sector outperformed the benchmark (MSCI World® Index) 17% to 5%. Lancashire Holdings Ltd. and Old Republic International Corp. each gained more than 40% over the period. Other material contributors were ICICI Bank Ltd. and ACE Ltd.
Performance for holdings in the information technology sector beat the index (MSCI World® Index) 29% to 13%. The most significant weightings were in Polycom, Inc., Apple, Inc., and Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. Polycom, Inc. and Apple gained 56% and 53%, respectively.
Energy sector holdings in the portfolio increased 32%, the best returns of any sector, compared to 14% gains for the index. Forest Oil Corp. surged 71% while CNOOC Ltd. was up 55%. Other top contributors included Oil Search Ltd., World Fuel Services Corp., and Occidental Petroleum Corp.
Industrials, Consumer Staples, and Materials Disappoint
The sectors that detracted from portfolio performance did so due to security selection as each sector was a relatively close weight to the benchmark.
Holdings in the industrials sector of the portfolio gained just 1% over the year against a 24% gain for the sector in the index. The largest culprit was Suntech Power Holdings Co. Ltd., which lost 52%. Other significant holdings that hurt portfolio performance were BAE Systems PLC, Prysmian S.p.A., and Allegiant Travel Co.
Performance in the consumer staples sector underperformed the index 15% to 26%. Four securities contributed negative returns to the portfolio. These included Corinthian Colleges, Inc. (-62%), Perfect World Co. Ltd. (-40%), ITT Educational Services, Inc. (-34%), and Shanda Interactive Entertainment Ltd. (-25%).
Returns in the materials sector was only half that of the index, 12% to 24%. Poor performers in the sector were Syngenta AG, Randgold Resources Ltd., and Rock-Tenn Co.
Outlook
The Series’ core strategy continues to focus on identifying companies with sustainable long-term earnings and cash flow, strong economic returns on invested capital, and healthy balance sheets. Our

MANAGER’S COMMENTARY | | Series E (U.S. Intermediate Bond Series) |
December 31, 2010 | | (Unaudited) |
| | | | |
|
| | Advised by: | |  |
To Our Shareholders:
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, the Rydex|SGI SBL Fund — Series E (U.S. Intermediate Bond Series) earned a return of 6.05%1, outperforming the benchmark Barclays Capital U.S. Intermediate Government/Credit Bond® Index return of 5.89%.
The U.S. Intermediate Bond Series will primarily invest in a diversified portfolio of investment grade debt securities and maintain a dollar-weighted average duration of 3 to 10 years. The Series’ investment approach uses a bottom-up process in selecting asset classes and securities. We emphasize rigorous credit analysis and relative value in selecting securities. Credit analysis includes assessing factors such as an issuer’s management experience, cash flow, position in its market, capital structure, and general economic and market factors. Relative value analysis includes earnings growth, profitability trends, the issuer’s financial strength, and valuation analysis. Relative valuation also compares the credit risk and yield of a security to that of other securities of the same or another asset class.
Composition of Portfolio Assets
At the end of the year, the fund held 57% in corporate issues, 32% in U.S. Government securities. Other securities, such as asset-backed securities, preferred stock, and cash constituted 5% of the portfolio.
U.S. Intermediate Bond Market Review
Considering the staggering job losses in 2008 and 2009, the labor picture brightened in 2010 although much of the hiring that was done was due to the government’s hiring of census workers rather than in the private sector. Additionally, more Americans left the work force, and therefore, were not included in the pool of available labor. These factors underscore the fragility of the recovery. Investors in all asset classes continue to be concerned regarding the federal debt, deficit, and budget. As the U.S. economy improves and the federal government continues to need to raise large levels of debt, interest rates should climb. Toward the end of the year, the economic backdrop is a low-inflation, below-potential-growth environment, with a Federal Reserve that is willing to support the markets.
Outlook
There is a necessity for the federal government to continue issuing debt as a means of funding various social and monetary programs; however, there is not yet a credible deficit reduction plan in place. Rising corporate profits are serving to improved cash flow and make the corporate sector more attractive to us than other sectors. A slowly improving economy will lead to better corporate profitability. High government debt burdens and excessive deficits are viewed negatively by the bond markets. Increasing emphasis will be placed on addressing budgetary imbalances and reducing deficits, which will be positive for U.S. Treasury notes and bonds.
The Federal Reserve is committed to maintaining low interest rates for an extended period of time. In such an environment, investors may be forced to add corporate bonds and extend maturities as a way of providing additional incremental income for a portfolio. The Tax Relief Job Creation Act of 2010 should help the economy in 2011. An extension of previous tax cuts and a reduction in payroll taxes, among other items, should help buoy consumer spending and economic growth.
Thank you for your investment in the U.S. Intermediate Bond Series.
We recognize there are many investment fund alternatives available today and appreciate the confidence you place in us.
Sincerely,
Daniel W. Portanova, Portfolio Manager

If returns had taken into account these fees and expenses, performance would have been lower. Shares of a Series of SBL Fund are available only through the purchase of such products. |

MANAGER’S COMMENTARY December 31, 2010 | | Rydex|SGI SBL Fund Series J (Mid Cap Growth Series) (Unaudited) |
| | |
| | |
Advised by: | |  |
To Our Shareholders:
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, the Rydex|SGI SBL Fund — Series J (Mid Cap Growth Series) posted a return of 24.17%, underperforming its benchmark, the Russell MidCap® Growth Index, which gained 26.38% and the Series’ peer group median return of 26.89%.
Our approach to the Series is to seek securities of companies that are able to grow and/or reinvest in increasingly profitable ventures and hold them over three to five years to capture the best part of the improvements in profits. We focus on investing in securities of companies that appear likely to generate above average profitability at prices that, as of yet, do not reflect that potential.
We use a bottom-up approach to choose portfolio securities that we believe are attractively valued with the greatest potential for appreciation. We attempt to identify companies that are in the early to middle stages of growth and are valued at a reasonable price.
Industrials, Materials, and Energy Top Performers
Superior security selection contributed to positive overall returns in the portfolio’s top three sectors. Holdings in the industrials sector were up 42% versus 30% for the index (Russell MidCap® Growth Index), materials gained 38% to 27%, and energy positions doubled the index (Russell MidCap® Growth Index) with returns of 36% compared to 17% for the benchmark.
The industrials sector held 18% of portfolio assets and had several winning stocks. Cummins, Inc. soared 71% while six other positions increased by more that 40%. These included Union Pacific Corp., Dover Corp., Roper Industries, Inc., and Joy Global, Inc.
In the materials sector, Solutia Inc., International Flavors & Fragrances, Inc., and Ball Corp. all gained more than 30%. Other positions of note were Airgas, Inc. and Steel Dynamics, Inc.
Energy companies FMC Technologies, Inc. and Newfield Exploration Co. were up over 30% for the period. Oil States International, Inc. was the other material contributor in the sector with a 25% return.
Health Care, Information Technology, and Financials Disappoint
The three bottom performing sectors in the portfolio did so due to stock selection. Holdings in health care were up 5% compared to 20% for the index while financials positions increased 4% against a 21% return for the benchmark.
Several holdings in the health care sector hurt portfolio performance. Zimmer Holdings, Inc. lost 21% of its value. Positions that had absolute negative returns were Community Health Systems, Inc., Beckman Coulter, Inc., and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. Other stocks that fell short during the year were Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc. and Hospira, Inc.
With a 21% weight in numerous positions in the information technology sector, while an even weight with the index, poor security performance hurt the portfolio. CommScope, Inc. lost 34%, Equinix, Inc. gave up 17%, and QLogic Corp. dropped 16%. Other stocks in the sector dragging down returns were ON Semiconductor Corp., McAfee, Inc., and Amdocs Ltd.
The portfolio’s financials sector gained just 4% against a 21% increase for the index. Absolute negative contributors were Comerica, Inc., Blackrock, Inc., and Western Union Co.
Outlook
We continue to pursue opportunities with a focus on bottom-up research rather than a macro forecast. We believe that investing is a long-term pursuit that requires patience and a consistent approach. As always, we will continue to do our best to seek the potential available in mid capitalization growth companies.
I would like to thank you for placing your trust in us.
Sincerely,
Joe O’Connor, Portfolio Manager

MANAGER’S COMMENTARY | | Rydex|SGI SBL Fund Series N (Managed Asset Allocation Series) |
December 31, 2010 | | (Unaudited) |
| | |
|
Advised by: |  |
To Our Shareholders:
Performance
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, the Rydex|SGI SBL Fund — Series N (Managed Asset Allocation Series) returned 10.56%, underperforming its weighted benchmark that is 60% S&P® 500 Index and 40% Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate® Index, which returned 12.13%. The S&P 500® Index returned 15.06% over the year and the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate® Index returned 6.54%.
Market Environment
Against a backdrop of healthy earnings, fortified balance sheets, and low borrowing costs for corporations, major U.S. equity indexes rose strongly in 2010, capping a second consecutive year of solid gains. Stocks produced robust returns through late April, extending the rally that started in March 2009, but fell sharply through early July due in part to a European debt crisis centered in Greece and a sluggish U.S. economic recovery. Equities rebounded briskly starting in late August as the economy showed signs of improvement and the Federal Reserve signaled that it would purchase more Treasury securities in an attempt to reduce long-term interest rates. The rally, which was supported by late-year bipartisan legislation to extend for two years the Bush-era tax cuts that were set to expire at the end of 2010, lifted major indexes in late December to their highest levels of the year.
Equities in developed non-U.S. markets generated mixed returns for the year. Although the MSCI EAFE® Index rose more than 8%, strong Asian markets performance was offset by weaker results in Europe. In Europe, Denmark and Sweden produced outstanding results, but the European debt crisis weighed on other markets, with Greece, Spain, Ireland, Italy, and Portugal falling sharply for the year. A 6.5% decline in the euro versus the U.S. dollar over the last 12 months also weighed on Europe’s returns for U.S.-based investors.
U.S. bonds produced good returns in 2010, despite some weakness in the last few months of the year. For much of the year, Treasury bond and note yields declined and prices climbed as U.S. economic sluggishness, low inflation, and the European debt crisis prompted investors to seek the safe haven of U.S. government securities. High yield bonds significantly outperformed investment-grade issues, as investors favored securities with a yield advantage in a low interest rate environment. In the investment-grade universe, commercial mortgage-backed securities produced very strong gains for a similar reason. Despite a sharp decline in the fourth quarter, long-term Treasury bonds performed very well in 2010. Investment-grade corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, and agency mortgage-backed securities produced more moderate gains.
Portfolio Review
The portfolio’s underperformance was primarily a function of security selection in the large-cap stock segment of the portfolio which detracted from performance as the strategy underperformed the S&P 500® Index. Exposure to non-U.S. equities detracted from the portfolio performance as the MSCI EAFE® Index underperformed the S&P 500® Index; however, the impact was offset by our inclusion of small-cap equity and high yield bonds, which aided performance as the S&P Completion® Index and Citigroup BB/B Credit Bond® Index outperformed the S&P 500® Index and Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate® Index, respectively. Our overweight position to equities aided performance as the S&P 500® Index significantly outperformed the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate® Index but was offset by our decision to underweight small-cap equities as the S&P Completion® Index outperformed the S&P 500® for the year.
Outlook
We are overweight stocks versus bonds as stocks remain reasonably valued. While the pace of recovery is likely to remain uneven, recent economic news continues to reflect a slowly improving environment in which stocks appear to be supported by favorable earnings prospects and reasonable balance sheets. Within equities, the portfolio is neutral between U.S. and non-U.S. equity markets as stronger U.S. growth prospects are priced into current valuations. We are underweight small-cap stocks as valuations favor

MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (concluded) | | Series N (Managed Asset Allocation Series) |
December 31, 2010 | | (Unaudited) |
large-cap stocks. Strong small-cap performance in 2010 has reinforced the small-cap sector’s rich valuation to large-cap.
The portfolio is overweight high yield relative to investment-grade bonds, as yield spreads relative to Treasury bonds remain attractive given a gradually improving economy and recent opportunities for issuers to refinance higher coupon debt and extend maturities.
Yields on government bonds have risen from trough levels concurrent with additional U.S. fiscal and monetary stimulus measures; however, U.S. interest rates remain at relatively low levels. Economic improvement over the next six to 18 months coupled with elevated levels of new Treasury supply could provide upward pressure on interest rates.

MANAGERS’ COMMENTRY | | Series O (All Cap Value Series) |
December 31, 2010 | | (Unaudited) |
| | |
| | | |
| | Advised by: |  |
To Our Shareholders:
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, the Rydex|SGI SBL Fund — Series O (All Cap Value Series) returned 16.61%, in line with the benchmark Russell 3000® Value Index’s return of 16.23% and beating the Series’ peer group median return of 13.83%.
Our strategy is to buy companies, across the market capitalization spectrum, trading at a significant discount to their intrinsic value. Our investment approach is a defined and disciplined process with three clear philosophical tenants that drive our investment decisions: a valuation focus, a long-term perspective and an opportunistic approach.
Our investment process is fundamentally driven and quantitatively aided. We use proprietary screens to identify potential companies for investment and then perform rigorous fundamental analysis to identify the best ideas. Through this fundamental research, we determine an estimate of intrinsic value and thus a valuation target for each idea. We construct the portfolios based on the level of conviction generated by this bottom-up analysis and the upside/downside profile associated with each company.
Financials, Industrials, and Health Care Top Performers
The portfolio’s three leading sectors were able to contribute to returns through both stock selection and the effect of asset allocation.
As usual, the financials sector was underweight, 20% to 28% for the index (Russell 3000® Value Index). The largest contributor was Class B shares of Berkshire Hathaway, Inc., which gained 26%. Other holdings in the sector adding value were Regions Financial Corp., JPMorgan Chase & Co., and American Financial Group, Inc.
The industrials sector benefited from a double-weight position, holding 22% of portfolio assets compared to 10% in the index. Power-One, Inc. soared 134% for the portfolio. Other top holdings included McDermott International, Inc., Union Pacific Corp., and Parker Hannifin Corp.
Health care was an overweight position for the portfolio and holdings outperformed those in the benchmark (Russell 3000® Value Index). The portfolio benefited from an underweight position in underperforming Merck & Co., Inc., while Genzyme Corp. gained 37%.
Information Technology, Consumer Discretionary, and Energy Disappoint
The portfolio’s information technology sector was overweight the index, 9% to 6%, but underperformed 10% to the benchmark’s 15% increase. Satyam Computer Services Ltd. was off 36%, while Computer Sciences Corp. and Hewlett-Packard Co. both declined by double-digits.
Returns for holdings in the consumer discretionary sector fell behind that of the index 21% to 28%. Dragging on performance were holdings in Lowe’s Cos. and Chico’s FAS, Inc., which lost 13%. Other underperforming securities included Time Warner, Inc. and Best Buy Co., Inc.
The energy sector trailed the benchmark, 18% to 26%, over the period. Goodrich Petroleum Corp. and Petrohawk Energy Corp. each produced negative returns, losing 28% and 24%, respectively. Other detractors were Chesapeake Energy Corp., Global Industries Ltd., and Southern Union Co.
Outlook
Our bottom-up approach looks at market uncertainty in the context of the potential long-term impact on individual companies. We are maintaining flexibility in the portfolios to take advantage of these opportunities as they arise. Our focus is on identifying companies with the ability to be substantially better over the next three to five years or have the potential to maintain their return on capital at current levels in a difficult economic environment. We are confident in our ability to find these companies and we are pleased with the positions we own today.

MANAGER’S COMMENTARY | | Series P (High Yield Series) |
December 31, 2010 | | (Unaudited) |
| | |
|
Advised by: | |  |
To Our Shareholders:
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, the Rydex|SGI SBL Fund — Series P (High Yield Series) returned 15.43%, outperforming the 15.12% performance of its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond® Index. The Series outpaced its peer group medians return of 14.12%.
The High Yield Series will primarily invest in a diversified portfolio consisting of a broad range of high yield, high-risk debt securities rated below the top four long-term credit rating categories and maintain a dollar-weighted average duration of 3 to 15 years.
The Series’ investment approach uses a bottom-up process in selecting high yield securities. We emphasize rigorous credit analysis and relative value in selecting securities. Credit analysis includes assessing factors such as an issuer’s management experience, its debt service coverage or ability to make interest payments on its debt, cash flow, and general economic and market factors. Relative value analysis compares the credit risk and yield of a security to that of other securities. We search for securities that appear to be inexpensive relative to comparable securities and securities that have the potential for an upgrade of their credit rating. A rating upgrade would typically increase the value of the security.
High Yield Market Review
Throughout the year, GDP declined from a 5.0% rate in the fourth quarter of 2009 to 3.7% in the first quarter of 2010 and then into the 2% range. The U.S. unemployment rate remained solidly above 9% during the year. However, various reports currently show stronger personal consumption and retail sales, and an improvement in the manufacturing and service sectors. Corporations currently hold more than $1 trillion in cash, the most ever relative to the value of their assets, which should eventually lead to strong spending on acquisitions, share purchases, advertising and infrastructure.
The slope of the yield curve is in-line with the 50th percentile ranking over the last 10 years. This indicates that the market is not expecting economic activity to improve or deteriorate significantly in the near future. While interest rates are at historic low levels, accounting for inflation expectations real rates remain near 2%, also around their 10-year averages.
Outlook
The high-yield asset class, after a record year in 2009, continued to perform well in 2010. As the economy stabilizes and grows, companies continue to improve balance sheets and earnings. Companies have been able to generate cash and refinance debt on attractive terms, thereby decreasing default risk. Such an environment encourages investors to reach for yield and add risk by investing in high-yield securities rather than U.S. Treasuries.
Credit spreads between high-yield securities and Treasury securities continue to be significant. The spread difference has us positively predisposed to the high-yield market without being excessively bullish. We recognize that credit cycles repeat and therefore will rely on our competitive advantage of agility to react to future economic and market changes.
Businesses are in better shape with cash on their balance sheets and have shown the ability to generate free cash flow. Defaults in the high-yield market continue to decline due to available liquidity, allowing companies to refinance debt. Economic data continued to improve throughout the year. The job outlook improved along with GDP, translating into higher personal spending, helping the manufacturing and service sectors expand. Helping default rates fall was the abundant liquidity in the market, allowing companies to refinance their looming debt maturities. We continue to focus on identifying fundamentally solid companies through our rigorous research process.
We appreciate your business and thank you for being an investor in the Series.
Sincerely,
David Toussaint, CFA, CPA, Portfolio Manager

MANAGER’S COMMENTARY | | Series Q (Small Cap Value Series) |
December 31, 2010 | | (Unaudited) |
| | |
|
Advised by: | |  |
To Our Shareholders:
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, the Rydex|SGI SBL Fund — Series Q (Small Cap Value Series) returned 21.88%, underperforming the Russell 2000® Value Index, which returned 24.50%, and the Series’ peer group median return of 25.82%.
As small cap value managers, we are valuation-focused investors with a long-term perspective. We search for companies that we believe are attractively valued and are able to create shareholder value. We take an owner-based approach investing in companies that can create value over the next three to five years. Through our rigorous fundamental bottom-up stock selection process, our individual position weights will reflect the degree of confidence we have in each opportunity.
Utilities, Financials, and Consumer Discretionary Top Performers
While returns in the utilities sector were in-line with the index (Russell 2000® Value Index), an underweight position relative to the benchmark (Russell 2000® Value Index), 2% to 6%, allowed the sector to contribute to overall performance. The best-performing holding for the portfolio was Allete, Inc., gaining 15%.
The Series benefited from a material underweight position in the financials sector holding 16% of portfolio assets compared to 27% for the index. Horace Mann Educators Corp. increased 47%, while First Potomac Realty Trust, Associated Banc-Corp., and 1st Source Corp. all recorded returns near 40%.
Company stocks in the consumer discretionary sector performed well over the year with a return in the portfolio of 33%. Leading securities included Cabela’s, Inc., up 53%, Penn National Gaming, Inc., 48%, and Madenform Brands, Inc. with a 42% increase. Other top-performers were Burger King Holdings, Inc., MDC Partners, Inc., and Talbots, Inc.
Materials and Energy Disappoint
Poor security selection in the materials and energy sectors detracted from returns. As a whole, the materials sector fell short of the index, 20% versus 38%, while energy lagged 19% to 29%.
Producing negative returns for the portfolio in the materials sectors were Landec Corp., Orchids Paper Products, Inc., and H.B. Fuller Co. Other holdings detracting from performance were Myers Industries, Inc. and Eagle Materials, Inc.
The Series had a double overweight position in the energy sector, 12% to 6%; however it was low relative performance that hurt the portfolio. There were significant losses recorded by GMX Resources, Inc. (-38%), Petrohawk Energy Corp. (-37%), Goodrich Petroleum Corp. (-28%), and Vantage Drilling (-24%). Holdings in Frontier Oil Corp. and Global Industries Ltd. were other securities that ended the period in the red.
Outlook
We remain committed to our investment process that target companies across a wide range of industries and sectors. We believe this broad approach will continue to allow us to identify attractive investments for future years. We thank you for your investment and your confidence in our team.
Sincerely,
James Schier, CFA, Portfolio Manager

MANAGERS’ COMMENTRY | | Series V (Mid Cap Value Series) |
December 31, 2010 | | (Unaudited) |
| | |
| | | |
| | Advised by: |  |
To Our Shareholders:
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, the Rydex|SGI SBL Fund — Series V (Mid Cap Value Series) posted a gain of 17.80%, underperforming the Russell 2500® Value Index return of 24.82% and the Series’ peer group median return of 22.79%.
Our approach with the Mid Cap Value Series is to seek companies that can increase shareholders’ return on capital. We hold such companies over three to five years to capture long-term improvements in profitability.
The investment process is fundamentally driven and quantitatively aided. We use proprietary screens to identify potential companies for investment and then perform rigorous fundamental analysis to identify the best ideas. Through this fundamental research, we determine an estimate of intrinsic value and thus a valuation target for each idea. We construct the portfolios based on the level of conviction generated by this bottom-up analysis and the upside/downside profile associated with each company.
Utilities and Consumer Discretionary Top Performers
Leading portfolio performance were holdings in the utilities and consumer discretionary sectors due to superior stock selection. Together, the sectors accounted for 25% of total portfolio assets.
The utilities sector was up 18% during the period compared to a 15% increase in the index (Russell 2500® Value Index). UGI Corp. gained 35%, Alliant Energy Corp. 25%, and Northeast Utilities 23%. American Water Works Co. was also a positive contributor.
The portfolio’s consumer discretionary sector, positioned as an equal weight, slightly outperformed the benchmark (Russell 2500® Value Index) 30% to 29%. Many holdings had significant returns during the year, which included Talbots, Inc. (59%), Cabela’s (53%), Penn National Gaming, Inc. (48%),
Brown Shoe Co., Inc. (44%), and Maidenform Brands, Inc. (42%). Others contributors were Burger King Holdings, Inc., Fortune Brands, Inc., and Fossil, Inc.
Energy, Information Technology, and Materials Disappoint
The energy sector hurt portfolio performance through poor stock selection in which it recorded a 13% gain against a 38% increase for the index, making it the markets best performing sector. Goodrich Petroleum Corp. was down 28% while Petrohawk Energy Corp. was off 24%. Other poor performing securities were Global Industries Ltd., Plans Exploration & Production Co., and Southern Union So.
The information technology sector in the Russell 2500 Value Index gained 21% during the period, besting the 7% recorded for the portfolio. Satyam Computer Services Ltd. dropped 36% while Computer Sciences Corp. declined 13%. Other laggards included Maxwell Technologies, Inc. and EFJohnson Technologies, Inc.
The materials sector for the index doubled the return of the sector for the portfolio, 33% to 16%. H.B. Fuller Co. lost 9% while Landec Corp. was down 4%. Even though Bemis Co., Inc., Sonoco Products Co., and Eagle Materials, Inc. all produced positive results, they weren’t able to keep pace with the index, thereby providing a drag on returns.
Outlook
We continue to pursue opportunities with a focus on bottom-up research rather than a macro forecast.
Our focus is on identifying companies with the ability to be substantially stronger over the next three to five years or have the potential to maintain their return on capital at current levels in a difficult economic environment. We ultimately look for companies that trade significantly below their intrinsic value.

MANAGER’S COMMENTARY | | Rydex|SGI SBL Fund Series X (Small Cap Growth Series) |
December 31, 2010 | | (Unaudited) |
| | |
| Advised by: |  |
To Our Shareholders:
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, the Rydex|SGI SBL Fund — Series X (Small Cap Growth Series) gained 30.10%, compared with a 29.09% increase in the Russell 2000® Growth Index and the Series’ peer group median return of 26.47%.
Health Care, Industrials, and Consumer Discretionary Top Performers
Due to superior stock selection, holdings in the health care, industrials, and consumer discretionary sectors accounted for nearly all of the portfolio’s returns during the period.
The health care sector was a significant underweight position relative to the index (Russell 2000® Growth Index), 16% to 22%, but outperformed 30% to 17%. Positive performers with positions of greater than 1% of portfolio assets included Perrigo Co. (up 60%), Endo Pharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc. (74%), Martek Biosciences Corp. (67%), and Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc. (24%). Other contributors in the sector were Clarient and ev3, Inc.
The industrials sector outperformed the benchmark (Russell 2000® Growth Index ) 40% to 28% over the calendar year. Leading the sector for the portfolio were Bucyrus International, Inc. and BE Aerospace, Inc., each with gains of 58%. Roper Industries was up 47%.
The Series’ holdings in the consumer discretionary sector returned 49% versus a 33% increase for the index. Life Time Fitness, Inc., Lennar Corp. (Cl A), and Gentex Corp. were all up more than 60% while Lululemon Athletica, Inc. soared 111%.
Information Technology and Financials Disappoint
Both the information technology and financials sectors were evenly weighted to the benchmark sectors but underperformed due to stock selection.
Overall, the information technology sector, which was the largest position in the portfolio with 24% of assets, underperformed the index 28% to 38%. ON Semiconductor Corp., Equinix, Inc., and SMART Modular Technologies each lost more than 20%. Other stocks dragging on performance were FLIR Systems, Inc., QLogic Corp., and SYNNEX Corp.
The Series’ financials holdings gained just 3% while those in the index were up 19%. Holdings not in the index that hurt performance included HCC Insurance Holdings, Inc., Commerce Bancshares, Inc., TCF Financial Corp., and Discover Financial Services. While all had positive returns, they were well below the gains of the index in the sector.
Outlook
As always, we remain committed to our principles of investing in fast growing, high-margin companies with unique proprietary advantages and strong management teams. We have not changed our investment process. We continue to focus on our core expertise and investment process. As fellow investors in the strategy, we thank you for your long-term investment.
Sincerely,
Joe O’Connor, Portfolio Manager

To Our Shareholders:
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, the Rydex|SGI SBL Fund — Series Y (Large Cap Concentrated Growth Series) (formerly, Select 25 Series) returned 16.65%, meeting the 16.71% for the benchmark Russell 1000® Growth Index and the Series’ peer group median return of 16.21%.
Our strategy is to buy companies that are trading at a significant discount to their intrinsic value. Our investment approach is a defined and disciplined process of three clear philosophical tenants that drive our investment decisions: a valuation focus, a long-term perspective and an opportunistic approach.
Our investment process is fundamentally driven and quantitatively aided. We use proprietary screens to identify potential companies for investment and then perform rigorous fundamental analysis to identify the best ideas. Through this fundamental research, we determine an estimate of intrinsic value and thus a valuation target for each idea. We construct the portfolios based on the level of conviction generated by this bottom-up analysis and the upside/downside profile associated with each company. We ultimately structure the portfolio with 25 to 30 names.
Industrials and Information Technology Top Performers
Portfolio holdings in the industrials sector gained 38% versus 28% in the index (Russell 1000® Growth Index). Additionally, an overweight of 16% to 12% added to returns for the Series. Cummins, Inc. was the biggest winner for the sector with a gain of 50%. Boeing Co. and Cooper Industries PLC (Cl A) were both up over 40% during the period. Other contributors in the sector included Emerson Electric Co. and CSX Corp.
While an underweight position to the index, the information technology sector was able to outperform 18% to 12%. The leading holding was EMC Corp., a 4% position that gained 31% over the calendar year. Other significant holdings included Oracle Corp., up 35%, and Apple, Inc. with an increase of 53%.
Health Care and Financials Disappoint
Poor stock selection in the health care industry caused the portfolio to underperform the index by a large margin. The sector holdings in the portfolio lost 10% during the period versus a gain of 6% in the index. All holdings in the sector detracted from portfolio performance. Celgene Corp., McKesson Corp., and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. ended the period with double-digit losses. Other stocks in the sector with absolute negative returns included Pfizer, Inc., Abbott Laboratories, Covidien PLC, and Amgen, Inc.
Similarly, the financials holdings lost 8% during the year compared to a gain of 9% for the benchmark (Russell 1000® Growth Index). Wells Fargo & Co. dropped 29% while Morgan Stanley was down 6%. Other securities in the portfolio unable to keep pace with the index included JPMorgan Chase & Co., U.S. Bancorp, and Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.
Outlook
Our bottom-up approach looks at market uncertainty in the context of the potential long-term impact on individual companies. Often times, volatility provides opportunity. We are maintaining flexibility in the portfolios to take advantage of opportunities as they arise. Our focus is on identifying companies with the ability to be substantially better over the next three to five years or have the potential to maintain their return on capital at current levels in a difficult economic environment.
We believe that investing is a long-term pursuit that requires patience and a consistent approach. We recognize there are many investment fund alternatives available today and thank you for your business and the confidence you place in us.
Sincerely,
Mark Bronzo, CFA, Portfolio Manager

MANAGERS’ COMMENTARY | | Series Z (Alpha Opportunity Series) |
December 31, 2010 | | (Unaudited) |
| | | | | | |
|
Advised by: | |  | | and Subadvised by: | |  |
To Our Shareholders:
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, the Rydex|SGI SBL Fund — Series Z (Alpha Opportunity Series) total return was 20.74%, besting its benchmark, the S&P® 500 Index, by more than 500 basis points, which returned 15.06%.
Investment Philosophy
The Series’ strategy is to invest approximately 37.5% of its total assets according to a long/short strategy with an emphasis on domestic securities. 37.5% of its total assets in a long/short equity portfolio of non-U.S. issuers, with the remaining 25% of assets invested in equity securities, equity derivatives, and fixed income securities with the intention of tracking the performance of the S&P 500 Index.
The fundamental investment philosophy of the active value strategy rests first upon the belief that it is critical to identify the long-term investment theme governing the equity markets. These themes may persist for 15 to 20 years.
Second, while we also believe that valuation adds important perspective to investment decisions, it is not an efficient means of timing purchase and sale decisions. We believe those decisions are best made using technical analysis. We believe technical analysis, the study of price trends, allows us to efficiently capture gains and avoid material losses.
The third tenet of our philosophy is that changes in stock prices lead changes in fundamental corporate developments. A proactive asset management approach helps to keep our investment themes fresh and our risk levels moderate.
Industrials, Health Care, and Information Technology Stocks Top Performers
In the industrials sector, Joy Global, Inc. was a top position and performer with a return of over 70%. Trinity Industries, Inc. was up 55%. We profited from a short position in Brisa-Autoestradas de Portugal S/A, which gave up 29% of its value. Other holdings adding to performance were U.S. Airways Group, Inc. and a short position in Beijing Capital International Airport Co., which was down 19%.
Health care stock ViroPharma, Inc. soared 106% while Millipore was a positive contributor with a 48% return. The portfolio profited from several short positions in AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Intercell AG, Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Information Technology firms Skyworks Solutions, Inc. and Entropic Communications, Inc. each recorded more than 100% returns for the portfolio. Cisco Systems, Inc. added to performance relative to the S&P 500 Index.
Consumer Discretionary, Information Technology, and Health Care Stocks Disappoint
Consumer discretionary holding Shanda Interactive Entertainment Ltd. hurt portfolio performance as it lost 25%. Electrolux AB, Genting Singapore PLC, and Carter’s, Inc. were short positions in the sector that went against us.
Similarly, short positions in the information technology sector were a drag on portfolio returns. Stocks sold short that more than doubled in value included Riverbed Technology, Inc., VMware, Inc., and Baidu, Inc. Other short positions that didn’t perform as expected were SAVVIS, Inc. and Red Hat, Inc.
Long positions in the health care sector that were down double-digits included RehabCare Group, Inc., off 44%, and Baxter International, Inc. Other detractors in the sector were McKesson Corp. and Health Management Associates, Inc. We sold Cepheid short, a stock that recognized a significant gain.
Outlook
Over the course of the year, fear that earnings expectations were too aggressive faded as results were stronger than anticipated. The U.S. equity

MANAGERS’ COMMENTARY (concluded) | | Series Z (Alpha Opportunity Series) |
December 31, 2010 | | (Unaudited) |
markets finished 2010 on a strong note with the month of December producing the strongest return for the last month of the calendar year since 1991. While unemployment remains stubbornly above 9%, reports indicate stronger personal consumption and retail sales. The extension of tax cuts and a reduction in payroll taxes should help that upward trend in consumer spending and economic growth into 2011. Our approach remains to identify the best possible investments in all phases of the market and economic cycle.
The Series is currently unable to pursue its investment strategy of short sales of securities of non-U.S. issuers, which affects its ability to meet its investment objective. As referenced in Note 11 of the Notes to Financials in this shareholder report, Security Global Investors (SGI) is working to resolve certain outstanding short sale transactions with Lehman Brothers International Europe (LBIE) and its administrator. The Series’ exposure to LBIE due to these transactions consists of short sale proceeds and long positions held at the Series’ custodian, as collateral. Release of the collateral requires the consent of LBIE and Lehman Brothers, Inc., an entity that is subject to a liquidation proceeding. Due to the valuations assigned to these positions, which are based on certain assumptions, resolution of these matters could ultimately result in the Series realizing values that are materially different from those indicated in this report, which would materially affect the Series’ net asset value (either positively or negatively). SGI is uncertain when it will resume its full investment program.
We thank you for your investment and appreciate the trust and confidence you have placed in us.
Sincerely,
Bill Jenkins, Portfolio Manager, Mainstream Investment Advisers
Scott Klimo, CFA, Portfolio Manager, Security Global Investors
David Whittall, Portfolio Manager, Security Global Investors

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies Organization
SBL Fund (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended, as an open-end management investment company of the Series type. Each Series, in effect, represents a separate fund. The Fund is required to account for the assets of each Series separately and to allocate general liabilities of the Fund to each Series based on the net asset value of each Series. Security Benefit Life Insurance Company (“SBL”) and SBL’s affiliated life insurance company as well as unaffiliated life insurance companies purchase shares of the Series for their variable annuity and variable life insurance separate accounts.
Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. Security Valuation — Valuations of the Fund’s securities are supplied by pricing services approved by the Board of Directors. The Fund’s officers, under the general supervision of the Board of Directors, regularly review procedures used by, and valuations provided by, the pricing services. Each security owned by a Series that is listed on a securities exchange is valued at its last sale price on that exchange on the date as of which assets are valued. Where the security is listed on more than one exchange, the Series will use the price of that exchange that it generally considers to be the principal exchange on which the stock is traded. Securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) will be valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price, which may not necessarily represent the last sale price. If there has been no sale on such exchange or NASDAQ on such day, the security is valued at the closing bid price on such day.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued by a pricing service considering securities with similar yields, quality, type of issue, coupon, duration and rating. If there is no bid price or if the bid price is deemed to be unsatisfactory by the Board of Directors or by the Fund’s investment manager, then the securities are valued in good faith by such method as the Board of Directors determines will reflect the fair value. If events occur after the close of a foreign exchange that will affect the value of a series portfolio securities before the time as of which the NAV is calculated (a “significant event”), the security will generally be priced using a fair value procedure. If the Valuation Committee determines a significant event has occurred, it will evaluate the impact of that event on an affected security or securities, to determine whether a fair value adjustment would materially affect the Series net asset value per share. Some of the factors which may be considered by the Board of Directors in determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of any restrictions on disposition; trading in similar securities of the same issuer or comparable companies; information from broker-dealers; and an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold.
The Fund generally will value short-term debt securities at prices based on market quotations for such securities or securities of similar type, yield, quality and duration, except those securities purchased with 60 days or less to maturity are valued on the basis of amortized cost which approximates market value.
Listed options held by the Series are valued at the Official Settlement Price listed by the exchange, as of 4:00 p.m. Long options are valued using the bid price and short options are valued using the ask price. In the event that a settlement price is not available, fair valuation is enacted. Over-the-counter options held by the Fund are valued using the average bid price (for long options), or average ask price (for short options) obtained from one or more security dealers.
Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange. The values of foreign securities are determined as of the close of such foreign markets or the close of the New York Stock Exchange, if earlier. All investments quoted in foreign currency are valued in U.S. dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates prevailing at the close of business. Investments in foreign securities may involve risks not present in domestic investments. The Valuation Committee will determine the current value of such foreign securities by taking into consideration certain factors which may include those discussed above, as well as the following factors, among others: the value of the securities traded on other foreign markets, ADR trading, closed-end fund trading, foreign currency exchange activity, and the trading prices of financial products that are tied to foreign securities such as WEBS®. In addition, the Board of Directors has authorized the Valuation Committee and Administrator to use prices and other information supplied by a third party pricing vendor in valuing foreign securities.
B. Repurchase Agreements — In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Fund’s policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying collateral and that the fair value of the collateral exceed the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all times. If the seller defaults, and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Series may be delayed or limited.
C. Foreign Currency Transactions — The accounting records of the Fund 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 Series. Foreign investments may also subject the Series to foreign government exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social

or economic developments, all of which could affect the market and/or credit risk of the investments.
The Fund does 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 and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales of foreign currencies, and the difference between asset and liability amounts initially stated in foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar value of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from changes in the value of portfolio securities other assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period, resulting from changes in the exchange rates.
D. Futures — Series Z utilized futures contracts to obtain broad index exposure. Returns may be enhanced by purchasing futures contracts instead of the underlying securities when futures are believed to be priced more attractively than the underlying securities. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of stocks contained in the indexes and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Series are required to deposit and maintain as collateral either cash or securities, representing the initial margin, equal to a certain percentage of the contract value. Cash deposits are shown as restricted cash on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities; securities held as collateral are noted in the Schedule of Investments. Subsequent changes in the value of the contract are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. The variation margin is paid or received in cash daily by the Series. The Series realizes a gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires.
E. Options Written — Certain Series wrote call options on a covered basis and put options on securities that are traded on recognized securities exchanges and over-the-counter markets (See Note 6). Call and put options on securities give the writer the obligation to sell or purchase a security at a specified price, until a certain date. Options were used minimally to hedge the Series’ portfolio, to increase returns, to maintain exposure to the equity markets, and create liquidity. The primary risks associated with the use of options are an imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Series and the price of the option, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract.
The premium received for a written option is recorded as an asset with an equal liability which is marked to market based on the option’s quoted daily settlement price. Fluctuations in the value of such instruments are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until terminated, at which time realized gains and losses are recognized. |
F. Securities Sold Short — Certain of the Series may make short sales “against the box,” in which the Series enters into a short sale of a security it owns. At no time will more than 15% of the value of the Series’ net assets be in deposits on short sales against the box. If a Series makes a short sale, the Series does not immediately deliver from its own account the securities sold and does not receive the proceeds from the sale. To complete the sale, the Series must borrow the security (generally from the broker through which the short sale is made) in order to make delivery to the buyer. The Series must replace the security borrowed by purchasing it at the market price at the time of replacement or delivering the security from its own portfolio. The Series is said to have a “short position” in securities sold until it delivers them to the broker, at which time it receives the proceeds of the sale. Certain Series may make short sales that are not “against the box,” which create opportunities to increase the Series’ return but, at the same time, involve specific risk considerations and may be considered a speculative technique. Such short sales theoretically involve unlimited loss potential, as the market price of securities sold short may continually increase, although a Series may mitigate such losses by replacing the securities sold short before the market price has increased significantly. For financial statement purposes, an amount equal to the settlement amount is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the short position. Subsequent fluctuations in the market prices of securities sold, but not yet purchased, may require purchasing the securities at prices which differ from the market value reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Series are liable for any dividends or interest payable on securities while those securities are in a short position. As collateral for its short positions, the Series is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to maintain segregated assets consisting of cash, cash equivalents or liquid securities. These segregated assets are valued consistent with Note 1A above. These segregated assets are required to be adjusted daily to reflect changes in the market value of the securities sold short.
G. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses are reported on an identified cost basis. Dividend income is accrued as of ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends for foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are recorded as soon as the Series is informed of the dividend in the exercise of reasonable diligence. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis including the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on debt securities. Realized gains (losses) on pay downs of mortgage and asset backed securities are classified as interest income. Distributions received from investments in REITs are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distribution by the issuer.

H. Expenses — Expenses that are directly related to one of the Series are charged directly to that Series. Other operating expenses are allocated to the Series on the basis of relative net assets within the Fund.
I. Distributions to Shareholders — The Fund is required by the Internal Revenue Code to distribute substantially all of its income and capital gains to its shareholders. Each year the Fund determines whether to declare and pay actual dividends or whether to secure consent of its shareholders to report and deduct a consent dividend. A consent dividend is treated for tax purposes as a distribution to shareholders occurring on the last day of the Fund’s taxable year and a shareholder contribution to capital occurring on the same day. It is the Fund’s current practice to utilize the consent dividend procedures. The character of any distributions made from net investment income and net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for income tax purposes.
J. Taxes — The Series intend to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and distribute all of their taxable net income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve them from all, or substantially all, federal income, excise and state income taxes. Distributions may be made via consent dividends, as described in the paragraph above. Therefore, no provision for federal or state income tax is required.
The evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Series’ tax returns is required to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. For all open tax years (December 31, 2007 - December 31, 2010) and all major taxing jurisdictions through the end of the reporting period, the Series’ management has completed a review and evaluation and has determined that no tax liability is required and no additional disclosures are needed as of December 31, 2010.
K. Earnings Credits — Under the fee agreement with the custodian, the Series may earn credits based on overnight custody cash balances. These credits are utilized to reduce related custodial expenses. The custodian fees disclosed in the Statement of Operations are before the reduction in expense from the related earnings credits.
L. Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
M. Indemnifications — Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its Officers and Directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnification to other parties. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred, and may not occur. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. A three-tier hierarchy is utilized to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 — | quoted prices in active markets for identical investments. |
| |
Level 2 — | other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). |
|
Level 3 — | significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments). |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
The following table summarizes the inputs used to value the Funds’ net assets at December 31, 2010:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
The Fund adopted updated provisions surrounding fair value measurements and disclosures effective January 1, 2010. This update applies to the Fund’s disclosures about transfers in and out of all Levels of the fair value hierarchy on a gross basis and the reasons for the transfers, as well as to disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for investments that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3 fair value hierarchy. Effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010, purchases, sales, issuances and settlements must be shown on a gross basis in the Level 3 rollforward rather than as one net number.
Transfers between investment Levels may occur as the markets fluctuate and/or the availability of data used in an investment’s valuation changes. The Funds recognized transfers between the Levels as of the end of the period. As of December 31, 2010, Series P (High Yield Series) had securities with a total value of $119,494 transferred from Level 3 to Level 1 and a total value of $462,804 transferred from Level 3 to Level 2. The fair market values of these securities were adjusted due to a change in the securities valuation method. There were no other securities that transferred between levels.

Net investment income and net realized gains (losses) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes because of temporary or permanent book/tax differences. These differences are primarily due to differing book and tax amortization methods for premium and market discount, consent dividends, ordinary net operating losses, realized gain/loss on foreign currency and the expiration of capital loss carryovers. To the extent these differences are permanent differences, adjustments are made to the appropriate equity accounts in the period that the differences arise. The following adjustments were made to the Statement of Assets and Liabilities at December 31, 2010 to reflect permanent differences:

11. Series Z
The Fund contracted with Lehman Brothers International Europe (“LBIE”) to provide prime brokerage services related to the Fund’s short selling. On September 15, 2008, LBIE was placed into administration and a third party administrator was named (the “Administrator”). The Fund’s exposure to LBIE consists of short sale proceeds held by LBIE, and restricted long positions held at the Fund’s custodian, as collateral for said short sales. The Fund has delivered a Notice of Termination of Loans to LBIE and the Administrator. The Fund is working to resolve these issues with LBIE and the Administrator. As of December 31, 2010, included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are the value of restricted long positions of $8,300,549, cash collateral of $586,580, restricted cash representing the value of short sale proceeds of $4,526,199 and liabilities for short sales of $7,786,654 representing the value of securities sold short at the date the short sales were deemed by the Fund to have been terminated. If these short sales had not been terminated, the value of the liability related to these securities sold short would have been $(8,159,485) as of December 31, 2010 resulting in a decrease in net assets of $372,831 (or 1.8%). Until such time as the liability for short sales is settled and all restrictions are removed by LBIE and LBI, the Fund cannot sell such restricted long positions and/or utilize the restricted cash balances to achieve the Fund’s investment objectives and/or meet Fund redemption or other Fund obligations. Based on the ultimate terms of such settlement, the value assigned to these positions may ultimately differ from the fair valuations assigned to them by the Fund and there is no guaranty that the Fund will ultimately recover the full value of the assets that are subject to restrictions. Accordingly, a settlement could ultimately result in the Fund realizing values that are materially different from those indicated herein, which would materially impact the Fund’s net asset value (either positively or negatively). As of the close of business on October 3, 2008, and until further notice, the Fund is not accepting subscriptions for shares from either new or existing shareholders.
12. Fund Merger
On April 30, 2010, Series A (Large Cap Core Series) acquired all of the net assets of Series H (Enhanced Index Series), a separate series of the Fund, in exchange for shares of the Series A (Large Cap Core Series), pursuant to an agreement and plan of reorganization approved by the Board of Directors and approved by the shareholders of the Series H (Enhanced Index Series). The acquisition was accomplished through a combination of a tax-free exchange of the outstanding shares of the Series H (Enhanced Index Series) 5,066,966 valued at $47,882,828 for respective shares of the Series A (Large Cap Core Series) 2,188,429. For financial reporting purposes, the net assets received and shares issued by Series A (Large Cap Core Series) were recorded at fair value; however, the Series H (Enhanced Index Series)’s cost of the investments was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of Series A (Large Cap Core Series) realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.
the RYDEX|SGI sbl fund annual report | 141
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (concluded)
Series H (Enhanced Index Series)’s net assets on April 30, 2010 were $47,882,828, including $1,097,678 of unrealized appreciation. Series H (Enhanced Index Series)’s net assets were primarily comprised of investments with a fair value of $45,146,242. The aggregate net assets of Series A (Large Cap Core Series) immediately before and after the acquisition were $204,742,194 and $252,625,022, respectively.
The financial statements reflect the operations of the Series A (Large Cap Core Series) for the period prior to the acquisition and the combined fund for the period subsequent to the fund merger. Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Series H (Enhanced Index Series) that have been included in the combined fund’s Statement of Operations since the acquisition was completed. Assuming the acquisition had been completed January 1, 2010, Series A (Large Cap Core Series) pro-forma net investment income, net realized and unrealized gain on investments and net increase in net assets from operations for the period January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010 would have been $2,093,242, $34,973,609 and $37,066,851, respectively. Security Investors, LLC and Series H (Enhanced Index Series) bore one-half of the expenses related to the reorganization.
13. Acquisition of Security Benefit Corporation
Guggenheim SBC Holdings, LLC (“Guggenheim SBC Holdings”), an investor group managed by Guggenheim Partners, LLC (“Guggenheim”), acquired control of Security Benefit Corporation (“SBC”), the parent company of Security Investors, LLC, the Fund’s investment advisor (the “Investment Advisor”) and Security Global Investors, LLC, the sub-advisor to certain of the Funds, pursuant to an agreement entered between SBC and Guggenheim SBC Holdings. Under the agreement, Guggenheim SBC Holdings received a 100% ownership stake in SBC and consequently acquired control of the Investment Advisor (the “Purchase Transaction”). Guggenheim is a global, independent, privately held, diversified financial services firm with more than $100 billion in assets under supervision. The Purchase Transaction did not result in material changes to the day-to-day management and operations of the Fund or any increase in fees. The Purchase Transaction closed on July 30, 2010. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the closing of the Purchase Transaction had the effect of terminating the Fund’s investment advisory agreements with the Investment Advisor and any investment sub-advisory agreements entered on behalf of a Series (together, the “Previous Agreements”). New investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements (“New Agreements”) were approved by Fund shareholders in a series of special meetings of shareholders. The terms of the New Agreements are substantially identical to the corresponding Previous Agreements, except with respect to the date of execution. At a Special Meeting on January 28, 2010, the Board approved the Investment Manager and Sub-Advisor to continue to serve each Fund.
14. Distributor and Transfer Agent Change
Effective July 30, 2010, the Fund’s Distributor, Rydex Distributors, Inc., a Maryland corporation, became Rydex Distributors, LLC, a Kansas limited liability company.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Contractholders and Board of Directors
SBL Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of SBL Fund (comprised of, Series A—Large Cap Core Series (formerly Equity Series), Series B—Large Cap Value Series, Series C—Money Market Series, Series D—Global Series, Series E—U.S. Intermediate Bond Series, Series J—Mid Cap Growth Series, Series N—Managed Asset Allocation Series, Series O—All Cap Value Series, Series P—High Yield Series, Series—Q Small Cap Value Series, Series V—Mid Cap Value Series, Series X—Small Cap Growth Series, Series Y—Large Cap Concentrated Growth Series (formerly Select 25 Series), and Series Z—Alpha Opportunity Series) (the “Series”) as of December 31, 2010, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As more fully discussed in Note 11 to the financial statements, Series Z (Alpha Opportunity Series) (“Series Z”) previously utilized the services of Lehman Brothers International Europe (“Lehman”) to provide prime broker services related to Series Z’s securities sold short. On September 15, 2008, Lehman was placed into administration. The financial records of Lehman are now being handled by the administrators. Information flow to Series Z from the administrators has been limited. Management has recorded in the financial statements its best estimate of the liability for securities sold short due to Lehman, based upon management’s assessment of all available evidence, including information supplied by the administrators. Significant uncertainty exists regarding the ultimate timing and manner of settlement, as well as the ultimate liability for securities sold short due to Lehman, and the difference between amounts currently recorded and that which may ultimately be due may be material.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective Series constituting the SBL Fund at December 31, 2010, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and their financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

DIRECTORS DISCLOSURE (Unaudited)
SGI Board Review and Approval of the Investment Advisory Agreements
At an in-person meeting of the Fund’s Boards of Directors held on January 28, 2010, called for the purpose of, among other things, voting on the approval of the investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements applicable to the Funds, the Fund’s Board of Directors, including the Independent Directors, unanimously approved the continuation for a two-year period of the investment advisory agreement between the Funds and Security Investors, LLC (“SI”). In reaching this conclusion, the Directors requested and obtained from SI and each investment sub-adviser such information as the Directors deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposed renewal of the agreements. Each Fund’s Board of Directors carefully evaluated this information and was advised by legal counsel with respect to its deliberations.
In considering the approval of the investment advisory agreements, the Independent Directors evaluated a number of considerations, including, among others, (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the advisory services to be provided by SI; (2) the investment performance of the Funds and SI; (3) the costs of services provided by SI and the profits derived by SI from its relationship with the Funds; (4) a comparison of each Funds’ expense ratios and those of similarly situated funds; (5) benefits (such as soft dollars) to SI and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds (and any corresponding benefits to the Funds); (6) the expense limitation/fee waiver agreements between SI and certain of the Funds; and (7) other factors of the Board deemed to be relevant. Each Board of Directors also took into account other considerations that it believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to the Independent Directors by their independent legal counsel and the Directors’ own business judgment, to be relevant. Following its review, each Fund’s Board of Directors determined that the investment advisory agreement will enable Fund shareholders to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable and in the best interests of shareholders. Accordingly, the Directors, including the Independent Directors, unanimously approved the renewal of the investment advisory agreements based upon the following considerations, among others:
• | | The nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided. Each Board of Directors concluded that SI is capable of providing high quality services to the Funds, as indicated by the nature and quality of services provided in the past, SI’s management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the Funds and other mutual funds managed by SI, the professional qualifications and experience of SI’s and SI’s investment and management oversight processes. The Directors also determined that SI proposed to provide investment and related services that were of the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Funds in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Fund’s operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs. |
• | | The investment performance of the Fund. With respect to the Funds, the Directors concluded on the basis of information compiled by Morningstar that SI and the investment sub-advisers had achieved investment performance that was acceptable, and competitive or superior relative to comparable funds over trailing periods. |
• | | The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. On the basis of each Board’s review of the fees to be charged by SI for investment advisory and other services, and the estimated profitability of SI’s relationship with each Fund, each Board concluded that the level of investment advisory fees and SI’s profitability are appropriate in light of the management fees and overall expense ratios of comparable investment companies and the anticipated profitability of the relationship between each Fund and SI and its affiliates. On the basis of comparative information compiled by Morningstar, the Directors determined that the advisory fees and estimated overall expense ratio of each Fund are consistent with, and often below, industry medians, particularly with respect to mutual funds of comparable size. |
• | | Whether the advisory fees reflect economies of scale. The directors concluded that the Funds’ investment advisory fees appropriately reflect the current economic environment for SI and the competitive nature of the mutual fund market. |
• | | The extent to which economies of scale will be realized as the Fund grows. While the Funds’ investment advisory fees do not reduce should Fund assets grow meaningfully, the Directors determined that the investment advisory fees payable by the Funds will reflect potential future economies of scale to some extent by virtue of their competitive levels (determined with reference to industry standards as reported by Lipper) and SI’s estimated profitability at current or foreseeable asset levels. The Directors also considered that they will have the opportunity to periodically re-examine whether each Fund has achieved economies of scale, and the appropriateness of investment advisory fees payable to SI in the future. |

RYDEX|SGI PRIVACY POLICIES
Rydex Funds, Rydex|SGI Funds, Rydex Investments, Rydex Distributors, LLC, Security Investors, LLC, Security Global Investors, LLC, Security Distributors, Inc. and Rydex Advisory Services (Collectively “Rydex”)
Our Commitment to You
When you become a Rydex|SGI investor, you entrust us with not only your hard-earned money but also with personal and financial information about you. We recognize that your relationship with us is based on trust and that you expect us to act responsibly and in your best interests. Because we have access to this private information about you, we hold ourselves to the highest standards in its safekeeping and use. This means, most importantly, that we do not sell client information to anyone—whether it is your personal information or if you are a current or former Rydex|SGI client.
The Information We Collect About You
In the course of doing business with shareholders and investors, we collect nonpublic personal information about you. You typically provide personal information when you complete a Rydex|SGI account application or when you request a transaction that involves Rydex and Rydex|SGI funds or one of the Rydex|SGI affiliated companies. “Nonpublic personal information” is personally identifiable private information about you. For example, it includes information regarding your name and address, Social Security or taxpayer identification number, assets, income, account balance, bank account information and investment activity (e.g., purchase and redemption history).
How We Handle Your Personal Information
As emphasized above, we do not sell information about current or former clients or their accounts to third parties. Nor do we share such information, except when necessary to complete transactions at your request or to make you aware of related investment products and services that we offer. Additional details about how we handle your personal information are provided below. To complete certain transactions or account changes that you direct, it may be necessary to provide identifying information to companies, individuals or groups that are not affiliated with Rydex|SGI. For example, if you ask to transfer assets from another financial institution to Rydex|SGI, we will need to provide certain information about you to that company to complete the transaction. To alert you to other Rydex|SGI investment products and services, we may share your information within the Rydex|SGI family of affiliated companies. This would include, for example, sharing your information within Rydex|SGI so we can make you aware of new Rydex and Rydex|SGI funds or the services offered through another Rydex|SGI affiliated company. In certain instances, we may contract with nonaffiliated companies to perform services for us. Where necessary, we will disclose information we have about you to these third parties. In all such cases, we provide the third party with only the information necessary to carry out its assigned responsibilities and only for that purpose. And we require these third parties to treat your private information with the same high degree of confidentiality that we do. In certain instances, we may share information with other financial institutions regarding individuals and entities in response to the U.S.A. Patriot Act. Finally, we will release information about you if you direct us to do so, if we are compelled by law to do so or in other circumstances permitted by law.
Opt Out Provisions
We do not sell your personal information to anyone. The law allows you to “opt out” of only certain kinds of information sharing with third parties. The firm does not share personal information about you with any third parties that triggers this opt-out right. This means YOU ARE ALREADY OPTED OUT.
How We Protect Privacy Online
Our concern for the privacy of our shareholders also extends to those who use our web site, www.rydex-sgi.com. Our web site uses some of the most secure forms of online communication available, including encryption technology, Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol, firewalls and user names and passwords. These technologies provide a high level of security and privacy when you access your account information or initiate online transactions. The Rydex|SGI web site offers customized features that require our use of “http cookies”—tiny pieces of information that we ask your browser to store. However, we make very limited use of these cookies. We only use cookies for session management and security features on the Rydex|SGI web site. We do not use them to pull data from your hard drive, to learn your email address, or to view data in cookies created by other web sites. We will not share the information in our cookies or give others access to it. See the legal information area on our web site for more details about web site security and privacy features.
How We Safeguard Your Personal Information
We restrict access to nonpublic personal information about shareholders to our employees and in some cases to third parties (for example, the service providers described above) as permitted by law. We maintain strict physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that comply with federal standards to guard your nonpublic personal information.
We’ll Keep You Informed
As required by federal law, we will notify shareholders of our privacy policy annually. We reserve the right to modify this policy at any time, but rest assured that if we do change it, we will tell you promptly. You will also be able to access our privacy policy from our web site at www.rydex-sgi.com. Should you have any questions regarding our privacy policy, contact us at 800.820.0888 or 301.296.5100.

The registrant’s Board of Directors 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 during the period covered by this report. The Code is filed as an exhibit to this Form N-CSR.
| | |
Item 3. | | Audit Committee Financial Expert. |
The registrant’s Board of Directors has determined that Maynard Oliverius, an “independent” Directors serving on the registrant’s audit committee, is an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR. 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 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 Directors in the absence of such designation or identification.
| | |
Item 4. | | Principal Accountant Fees and Services. |
(a)-(d) The aggregate Audit Fees billed by the Registrant’s principal accountant, for the audit of the annual financial statements in connection with statutory and regulatory filings for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were $304,673 and $309,850, respectively. The aggregate Audit Related Fees by the Registrant’s principal accountant billed for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were $4,466 and $6,250, respectively. 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, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were $46,452 and $64,500, respectively.
(e) The audit committee has adopted a policy whereby audit and non-audit services performed by the registrant’s principal accountant for the registrant, its investment advisor, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment advisor that provides ongoing services to the registrant require pre-approval in advance at regularly scheduled audit committee meetings. If such service is required between regularly scheduled audit committee meetings, the chairman of the audit committee, Penny Lumpkin, is authorized to pre-approve the service with full committee approval at the next scheduled meeting. There shall be no waivers of the pre-approval process. No services described in (b)-(d) above were approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
(f) Not applicable.
(g) The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant’s accountant for the most recent fiscal year and the preceding fiscal year for 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 were $0 and $0, 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) All non-audit services rendered in (g) above were pre-approved by the registrant’s audit committee. As such, the audit committee has considered these services in maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

Item 11. | | Controls and Procedures. |
(a) Based on their evaluation on March 10, 2011, the President (principal executive officer) and the Treasurer (principal financial officer) of the SBL Fund (the “Registrant”) believe that there were no significant deficiencies in the design or operation of the internal controls of the Registrant or Security Investors, LLC, d/b/a Security Global Investors (“SGI” or the
