| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the fund perform over the last year?* For the period of January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024, the fund (Series E (Total Return Bond Series)) returned 3.09%, outperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 1.25% for the same period. What factors materially affected the fund's performance over the last year? The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, by 1.84% during the reporting period. Outperformance was driven by sector and security selection and the fund's yield advantage over the benchmark. Duration detracted from absolute returns as interest rates rose following stronger-than-expected economic data and in reaction to the U.S. election results. The fund benefitted from an overweight allocation to structured credit as the sector broadly outperformed other fixed-income sectors such as corporate credit due to more pronounced spread tightening. Security selection within investment grade and high yield corporates were contributors to relative performance as the fund's holdings outperformed respective indices for each sector by 3.4% and 1.1%, respectively. |

For more complete information, you may review the fund's next prospectus, which we expect to be available by April 30, 2025 at GuggenheimInvestments.com/variable-insurance-funds 800 820 0888 The fund's net expense ratio, which reflects expense waivers and reimbursements and includes certain expenses that are outside of the contractual expense limit, was 0.89% for the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of 0.06% compared to the prior year.

| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the fund perform over the last year?* For the period of January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024, the fund (Series F (Floating Rate Strategies Series)) returned 6.83%, outperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 1.25% for the same period and underperforming the fund's secondary index, the S&P UBS Leveraged Loan Index (the "Secondary Index," formerly the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index), which returned 9.05% for the same period. The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the S&P UBS Leveraged Loan Index to the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index to comply with the regulation that requires the fund's broad-based securities market index to represent the overall applicable market. What factors materially affected the fund's performance over the last year? High absolute returns for both the fund and the Secondary Index were driven by the high floating-rate coupon in the bank loan asset class. From a supply/demand perspective, collateralized loan obligation issuance set an all-time record at $201B for the year and pushed the supply deficit to all-time highs as robust loan market activity remained primarily opportunistic (refinancings/repricings). Spreads tightened throughout the year as a result, but yields remain above average. Relative performance of the fund compared to the Secondary Index was impacted by idiosyncratic credit issues in the communications and consumer sectors. Offsetting were credit selection in the technology sector and non-rated segment, as well as an underweight to the technology sector, which contributed to relative performance. |

The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Index to the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index to comply with the regulation that requires the fund's broad-based securities market index to represent the overall applicable market. What factors materially affected the fund's performance over the last year? 2024 experienced heavy new issuance volume closer to the pre-Covid average while strong market conditions kept spreads tight. The primary contributors to fund's performance were solid credit selection in communications and basic materials. The fund also benefitted from a small reorganized equity position. The primary detractor was weaker performance by consumer cyclical holdings and a slight drag from bank loans. |
