CHAIRMAN’S LETTER
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The U.S. economic recovery continued through the 12 months ended March 31, 2011, despite a succession of headwinds. Last spring was the European sovereign debt crisis, which eased only with the establishment of a euro 750 billion rescue fund. Poor reports on U.S. manufacturing and private sector job growth raised investor fears of a double-dip recession in mid-year. Concern that the recovery was not self-sustaining led the U.S. Federal Reserve to undertake a second round of quantitative easing in the last part of 2010 to keep long-term rates low and spur economic growth. The Fed’s support of asset prices contributed to a 25% run-up in U.S. stocks through March 2011, amid a jump in oil prices, natural and nuclear disasters in Japan and unrest in the Mid East and North Africa.
Investors have come to believe that much of the U.S. market and economic recovery has been driven by the unprecedented government stimulus measures. Still, national output is at an all time high, exports rose to a record in January and S&P 500® Index* earnings are double what they were two years ago—all of which has enhanced U.S. equity market performance over the past 12 months. Broad market measures were up by 15% for the period, while international markets were up about 10%. Reflecting their growing confidence in the economy, investors went out on the risk/reward curve, leading small stock indices to outperform the broader market for the past year; from a style perspective, growth outperformed value across all capitalizations, with the differential widening the lower the cap size.
The Fed’s decision to keep short-term rates at record lows and to hold down long-term rates through its quantitative easing program spurred demand for fixed-income spread product for most of the past year. This resulted in good performance across most fixed income sectors, including investment grade corporate bonds and especially high-yield bonds. The long Treasury market remained stable, with good returns, while yields on benchmark 10-year Treasuries began rising in the past few months in tandem with improving economic reports.
One of the threats to the economic recovery is inflation. Higher food and energy costs have been driving up consumer prices—so-called “headline” inflation—but these have not translated into a broader increase in inflation that would prompt the Fed to act. Concerns about slowing growth worldwide and the expected shift away from the Fed’s bond-buying strategy had led many economists to lower growth forecasts for 2011, both in the U.S. and globally. The Fed’s fiscal and monetary stimulus measures have resulted in the country outspending revenues and adding substantially to the national debt. This, along with the potential for a double-dip in housing and a persistently poor labor market, has made many investors sensitive to market sentiment and volatility.
U.S. economic growth, while not robust, has been positive for seven consecutive quarters, strong enough to overcome a number of headwinds. With the help of massive government stimulus, there is optimism that the recovery from the financial crisis and ensuing recession is becoming self-sustaining. The end of Fed easing could signal that the policymakers are comfortable with the strength of the expansion, and believe that house prices and joblessness may be hitting bottom and be poised to recover.
Sincerely,
Richard Goldman
President and Chairman, Rydex|SGI Funds

INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR FUND EXPENSES (Unaudited)
March 31, 2011
Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions; and redemption fees, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund 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 September 30, 2010 through March 31, 2011.
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 Fund actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund 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 Fund 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 transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the second line for each class of shares 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 transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

|
2 | | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio, net of any applicable fee waivers or earnings credits, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). |
|
3 | | Actual cumulative return at net asset value for the period September 30, 2010 to March 31, 2011. |
|
4 | | B-Class shares of Global Fund and Large Cap Value Fund did not charge 12b-1 fees during the period. |
|
5 | | This ratio represents annualized net expenses, which include interest and dividend expense related to securities sold short. Excluding short dividend expense and prime broker interest expense, the operating expense ratio would be 0.06%, 0.06%, 0.05% and 0.05% lower in A-Class, B-Class, C-Class and Institutional Class, respectively. |

PERFORMANCE
$10,000 Since Inception
This chart assumes a $10,000 investment in A-Class shares of All Cap Value Fund on October 3, 2008 (date of inception), reflects deduction of the maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% and assumes all dividends are reinvested.† The chart does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions or the redemption of fund shares. The Russell 3000® Value Index is an unmanaged index that measures the performance of the broad value segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 3000® companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values.

| | | | | | INCEPTION |
| | 1 YEAR | | (10/03/08) |
|
A-Class Shares | | | 17.55 | % | | | 12.30 | % |
A-Class Shares with sales charge | | | 10.81 | % | | | 9.66 | % |
C-Class Shares | | | 16.71 | % | | | 11.48 | % |

Institutional Class Shares | | | 17.97 | % | | | 12.62 | % |
The performance data above represents past performance that is not predictive of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The figures above do not reflect deduction of the maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% for Class A shares or the contingent deferred sales charge of 1% for Class C shares, as applicable, except where noted.† The figures do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions or redemption of shares. Such figures would be lower if the maximum sales charge and any applicable taxes were deducted. Fee waivers and/or reimbursements reduced expenses of the Fund and in the absence of such waivers, the performance quoted would be reduced.

PERFORMANCE
$10,000 Since Inception
This chart assumes a $10,000 investment in A-Class shares of Alpha Opportunity Fund on July 7, 2003 (date of inception), reflects deduction of the maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% and assumes all dividends are reinvested.† The chart does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions or the redemption of fund shares. The S&P 500® Index is a capitalization weighted index composed of 500 selected common stocks that represent the broad domestic economy and is a widely recognized unmanaged index of market performance.

The performance data above represents past performance that is not predictive of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The figures above do not reflect deduction of the maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% for Class A shares or the contingent deferred sales charge of 5% for Class B shares and 1% for Class C shares, as applicable, except where noted.† The figures do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions or redemption of shares. Such figures would be lower if the maximum sales charge and any applicable taxes were deducted. Fee waivers and/or reimbursements reduced expenses of the Fund and in the absence of such waivers, the performance quoted would be reduced.
| | |
† | | Effective 2/22/11, the A-Class maximum sales charge decreased from 5.75% to 4.75%. A 5.75% maximum sales charge is used to calculate performance for periods beginning prior to 2/22/11, and a 4.75% maximum sales charge is used to calculate performance for periods beginning on or after 2/22/11. |

The performance data above represents past performance that is not predictive of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The figures above do not reflect deduction of the maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% for Class A shares or the contingent deferred sales charge of 5% for Class B shares and 1% for Class C shares, as applicable, except where noted.† The figures do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions or redemption of shares. Such figures would be lower if the maximum sales charge and any applicable taxes were deducted.

PERFORMANCE
$10,000 Over Ten Years
This chart assumes a $10,000 investment in A-Class shares of Global Fund on March 31, 2011, reflects deduction of the maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% and assumes all dividends are reinvested.† The chart does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions or the redemption of fund shares. The MSCI World Index is an unmanaged capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure global developed market equity performance.

The performance data above represents past performance that is not predictive of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The figures above do not reflect deduction of the maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% for Class A shares or the contingent deferred sales charge of 5% for Class B shares and 1% for Class C shares, as applicable, except where noted.† The figures do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions or redemption of shares. Such figures would be lower if the maximum sales charge and any applicable taxes were deducted.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY March 31, 2011 | | Rydex|SGI Equity Fund Global Institutional Fund (Unaudited) |
PERFORMANCE
$10,000 Since Inception
This chart assumes a $10,000 investment in shares of Global Institutional Fund on July 11, 2008 (date of inception), reflects the fees and expenses of the Fund and assumes all dividends are reinvested. The chart does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions or the redemption of fund shares. The MSCI World Index is an unmanaged capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure global developed market equity performance.

Global Institutional Fund | | | 14.64 | % | | | 1.73 | % |
The performance data above represents past performance that is not predictive of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The figures do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions or redemption of shares. Such figures would be lower if any applicable taxes were deducted. Fee waivers and/or reimbursements reduced expenses of the Fund and in the absence of such waivers, the performance quoted would be reduced.

This chart assumes a $10,000 investment in A-Class shares of Mid Cap Value Fund on March 31, 2011, reflects deduction of the maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% and assumes all dividends are reinvested.† The chart does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions or the redemption of fund shares. The Russell 2500® Value Index is an unmanaged index that measures the performance of securities of small-to-mid cap U.S. companies with greater-than-average value orientation.

The performance data above represents past performance that is not predictive of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The figures above do not reflect deduction of the maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% for Class A shares or the contingent deferred sales charge of 5% for Class B shares and 1% for Class C shares, as applicable, except where noted.† The figures do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions or redemption of shares. Such figures would be lower if the maximum sales charge and any applicable taxes were deducted.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY | | Mid Cap Value Institutional Fund |
March 31, 2011 | | (Unaudited) |
PERFORMANCE
$10,000 Since Inception
This chart assumes a $10,000 investment in shares of Mid Cap Value Institutional Fund on July 11, 2008 (date of Inception) and assumes all dividends are reinvested. The chart does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions or the redemption of fund shares. The Russell 2500® Value Index is an unmanaged index that measures the performance of securities of small-to-mid cap U.S. companies with greater-than-average value orientation.

Mid Cap Value Institutional Fund | | | 21.93 | % | | | 16.30 | % |
The performance data above represents past performance that is not predictive of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The figures do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions or redemption of shares. Such figures would be lower if any applicable taxes were deducted. Fee waivers and/or reimbursements reduced expenses of the Fund and in the absence of such waivers, the performance quoted would be reduced.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY | | Large Cap Concentrated Growth Fund |
March 31, 2011 | | (Unaudited) |
PERFORMANCE
$10,000 Over Ten Years
This chart assumes a $10,000 investment in A-Class shares of Large Cap Concentrated Growth Fund on March 31, 2011, reflects deduction of the maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% and assumes all dividends are reinvested.† The chart does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions or the redemption of fund shares. The Russell 1000® Growth Index is an unmanaged capitalization index which includes stocks incorporated in the United States and its territories and measures the performance of the Russell 1000® companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values.

The performance data above represents past performance that is not predictive of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The figures above do not reflect deduction of the maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% for Class A shares or the contingent deferred sales charge of 5% for Class B shares and 1% for Class C shares, as applicable, except where noted.† The figures do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions or redemption of shares. Such figures would be lower if the maximum sales charge and any applicable taxes were deducted. Fee waivers and/or reimbursements reduced expenses of the Fund and in the absence of such waivers, the performance quoted would be reduced.

PERFORMANCE
$10,000 Over Ten Years
This chart assumes a $10,000 investment in A-Class shares of Small Cap Growth Fund on March 31, 2011, reflects deduction of the maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% and assumes all dividends are reinvested.† The chart does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions or the redemption of fund shares. The Russell 2000® Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell 2000® companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values.

The performance data above represents past performance that is not predictive of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The figures above do not reflect deduction of the maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% for Class A shares or the contingent deferred sales charge of 5% for Class B shares and 1% for Class C shares, as applicable, except where noted.† The figures do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions or redemption of shares. Such figures would be lower if the maximum sales charge and any applicable taxes were deducted.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY | | Small Cap Value Fund |
March 31, 2011 | | (Unaudited) |
PERFORMANCE
$10,000 Since Inception
This chart assumes a $10,000 investment in A-Class shares of Small Cap Value Fund on July 11, 2008 (date of inception), reflects deduction of the maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% and assumes all dividends are reinvested.† The chart does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions or the redemption of fund shares. The Russell 2000® Value Index is an unmanaged index that measures the performance of securities of small to mid cap U.S. companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values.

A-Class Shares | | | 26.02 | % | | | 28.39 | % |

Institutional Class Shares | | | 26.26 | % | | | 28.67 | % |
The performance data above represents past performance that is not predictive of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The figures above do not reflect deduction of the maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% for Class A shares or the contingent deferred sales charge of 1% for Class C shares, as applicable, except where noted.† The figures do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions or redemption of shares. Such figures would be lower if the maximum sales charge and any applicable taxes were deducted. Fee waivers and/or reimbursements reduced expenses of the Fund and in the absence of such waivers, the performance quoted would be reduced.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY | | Large Cap Value Fund |
March 31, 2011 | | (Unaudited) |
PERFORMANCE
$10,000 Over Ten Years
This chart assumes a $10,000 investment in A-Class shares of Large Cap Value Fund on March 31, 2011, reflects deduction of the maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% and assumes all dividends are reinvested.† The chart does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions or the redemption of fund shares. The Russell 1000® Value Index is an unmanaged index representing the performance of those Russell 1000® Index companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values.

A-Class Shares | | | 13.71 | % | | | 2.67 | % | | | 3.67 | % |
A-Class Shares with sales charge | | | 7.15 | % | | | 1.46 | % | | | 3.06 | % |
B-Class Shares | | | 13.81 | % | | | 2.50 | % | | | 3.14 | % |
B-Class Shares with CDSC | | | 8.81 | % | | | 2.13 | % | | | 3.14 | % |
C-Class Shares | | | 12.79 | % | | | 1.76 | % | | | 2.80 | % |
C-Class Shares with CDSC | | | 11.79 | % | | | 1.76 | % | | | 2.80 | % |
The performance data above represents past performance that is not predictive of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The figures above do not reflect deduction of the maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% for Class A shares or the contingent deferred sales charge of 5% for Class B shares and 1% for Class C shares, as applicable, except where noted.† The figures do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions or redemption of shares. Such figures would be lower if the maximum sales charge and any applicable taxes were deducted. Fee waivers and/or reimbursements reduced expenses of the Fund and in the absence of such waivers, the performance quoted would be reduced.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY | | Large Cap Value Institutional Fund |
March 31, 2011 | | (Unaudited) |
PERFORMANCE
$10,000 Since Inception
This chart assumes a $10,000 investment in shares of Large Cap Value Institutional Fund on July 11, 2008 (date of inception), and assumes all dividends are reinvested. The chart does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions or the redemption of fund shares. The Russell 1000® Value Index is an unmanaged index representing the performance of those Russell 1000® Index companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values.

Large Cap Value Institutional Fund | | | 15.63 | % | | | 5.29 | % |
The performance data above represents past performance that is not predictive of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The figures do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions or redemption of shares. Such figures would be lower if any applicable taxes were deducted. Fee waivers and/or reimbursements reduced expenses of the Fund and in the absence of such waivers, the performance quoted would be reduced.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY | | Mid Cap Growth Fund |
March 31, 2011 | | (Unaudited) |
PERFORMANCE
$10,000 Over Ten Years
This chart assumes a $10,000 investment in A-Class shares of Mid Cap Growth Fund on March 31, 2011, reflects deduction of the maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% and assumes all dividends are reinvested.† The chart does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions of the redemption of fund shares. The Russell MidCap® Growth Index is an unmanaged capitalization-weighted index that is designed to measure the performance of the 800 smallest companies in the Russell 1000® Index with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values.

The performance data above represents past performance that is not predictive of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The figures above do not reflect deduction of the maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% for Class A shares or the contingent deferred sales charge of 5% for Class B shares and 1% for Class C shares, as applicable, except where noted.† The figures do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions or redemption of shares. Such figures would be lower if the maximum sales charge and any applicable taxes were deducted.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Rydex|SGI Equity, Large Cap Value, and Mid Cap Growth Funds (legally known as Security Equity Fund, Security Large Cap Value Fund, and Security Mid Cap Growth Fund, respectively), (collectively referred to herein as the Funds) are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended, as open-end management investment companies. The shares of Rydex|SGI Equity Fund and Large Cap Value Fund are currently issued in multiple series, with each series, in effect, representing a separate fund. The Rydex|SGI Equity Fund and Large Cap Value Fund account for the assets of each series separately. A-Class shares are generally sold with a front-end sales charge at the time of purchase. A-Class shares are not subject to a sales charge when they are redeemed, except for purchases of $1 million or more sold without a front-end sales charge which are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge if redeemed within one year of purchase. B-Class shares are offered without a front-end sales charge, but are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge for five years and automatically convert to A-Class shares after eight years. C-Class shares are offered without a front-end sales charge but incur additional class-specific expenses. Redemptions of C-Class shares within one year of acquisition incur a contingent deferred sales charge. Institutional Class shares are offered primarily for direct investment by institutions, such as pension and profit sharing plans, endowments, foundations and corporations. Institutional class shares have a minimum initial investment of $2 million and a minimum account balance of $1 million. Institutional Class shares are offered without a front-end sales charge or a contingent deferred sales charge. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.
A. Security Valuation — Valuations of the Funds’ securities are supplied by pricing services approved by the Board of Directors. The Funds’ officers, through the Valuation Committee, 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 the Funds 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 Fund 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 taking into consideration 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 Funds’ 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 Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds 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. Those securities purchased with 60 days or less to maturity are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value.
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 Funds’ policy that their 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 Fund may be delayed or limited.
C. Foreign Currency Transactions — The accounting records of the Funds 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.
THE RYDEX|SGI EQUITY FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT | 93
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
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 Funds. Foreign investments may also subject the Fund 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 Funds do 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 or 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 and other assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period, resulting from changes in the exchange rates.
D. Futures — The Alpha Opportunity Fund 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. 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 Funds. The Funds realize a gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires.
E. Options Written — Certain Funds 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 footnote 4). 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 Funds’ portfolio, 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 Fund 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 — The Alpha Opportunity Fund may make short sales “against the box,” in which the Fund enters into a short sale of a security it owns. At no time will more than 15% of the value of the Funds’ net assets be in deposits on short sales against the box. If a Fund makes a short sale, the Fund 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 Fund must borrow the security (generally from the broker through which the short sale is made) in order to make delivery to the buyer. The Fund 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. Such short sales theoretically involve unlimited loss potential, as the market price of securities sold short may continually increase, although a Fund 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 initially recorded 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 short, may require purchasing the securities at prices which differ from the market value reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds are liable for any dividends or interest payable on securities while those securities are in a short position and are recorded as dividend or interest expense in the Statement of Operations. As collateral for its short positions, the Funds are required under the 1940 Act 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 the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends for foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are recorded as soon as the Fund 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.
H. Expenses — Expenses that are directly related to one of the Funds are charged directly to that Fund. Other operating expenses are allocated to the Funds on the basis of relative net assets. Class specific expenses, such as 12b-1 fees, are borne by that class. Income, other expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses of a Fund are allocated to each respective class in proportion to the relative net assets of each class.

I. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes.
J. Taxes — The Funds 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. 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 Fund’s 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 (September 30, 2007—September 30, 2010) and all major taxing jurisdictions through the end of the reporting period, the Fund’s management has completed a review and evaluation and has determined that no tax liability is required and no additional disclosures are needed as of March 31, 2011.
K. Earnings Credits — Under the fee agreement with the custodian, the Funds 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 Funds’ organizational documents, its Officers and Directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnification to other parties. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred, and may not occur. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.

6. Derivative Investment Holdings Categorized by Risk Exposure
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand how and why the Funds use derivative instruments, how these derivative instruments are accounted for and their effects on the Funds’ financial position and results of operations. None of the derivatives currently held by the Funds are being used as hedging instruments.
Certain Funds seek to gain exposure to their respective benchmarks by investing in currency, and financial-linked derivative instruments, including futures and options. The following table represents the notional amount of derivative instruments outstanding, as an approximate percentage of the Fund’s net assets on a daily basis, while the risk to the Fund is limited to the profit earned on such derivatives:

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 post-October losses, losses deferred due to wash sales, foreign currency gains and losses, and the “mark-to-market” of certain passive foreign investment companies (PFICs) for tax purposes. To the extent these differences are permanent, reclassifications are made to the appropriate equity accounts in the period that the differences arise.

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 March 31, 2011, included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are the value of restricted long positions of $8,472,434, cash collateral of $550,800, restricted cash representing the value of short sale proceeds of $4,410,316 and liabilities for short sales of $7,341,377 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 $(7,792,046) as of March 31, 2011 resulting in a decrease in net assets of $450,669 (or 3.3%). 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.
10. Fair Value Measurement
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 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 Funds’ investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 | — | quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. |
|
Level 2 | — | other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). |
104 | THE RYDEX|SGI EQUITY FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
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 securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following table provides the fair value measurement of applicable Fund assets by level within the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2011. These assets are measured on a recurring basis.

The Funds adopted updated provisions surrounding fair value measurements and disclosures effective March 31, 2010. This update applies to the Funds’ 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.
For the six months ended March 31, 2011, there were no significant transfers between Levels.
Following is a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value for the six months ended March 31, 2011:

11. Other Liabilities
Mid Cap Value Fund, Mid Cap Value Institutional Fund and Large Cap Core Fund each wrote put option contracts through Lehman Brothers Inc., (“Lehman”) that were exercised prior to the option contracts’ expiration and prior to the bankruptcy filing by Lehman, during September, 2008. However, these transactions have not settled and the securities have not been delivered to the Funds as of March 31, 2011.
Although the ultimate resolution of these transactions is uncertain, the Funds have recorded a liability on their respective books equaI to the difference between the strike price on the put options and the market price of the underlying security on the exercise date. The amount of the liability recorded by the Funds as of March 31, 2011 was $473,594 for Mid Cap Value Fund, $15,940 for Mid Cap Value Institutional Fund, and $18,615 for Large Cap Core Fund.
12. Subsequent Events
Reverse Share Splits
Effective April 8, 2011, the Large Cap Core Fund, Large Cap Value Fund and the Mid Cap Growth Fund each underwent a 1-for-4 reverse share split. The effect of the transaction was to divide the number of outstanding shares of the Fund by four, resulting in a corresponding increase in the net asset value per share. The shares outstanding and net asset value per share on the statement of assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2011, the capital share activity presented in the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the per share data in the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended have been given retroactive effect to reflect these reverse share splits. There were no changes in net assets, results of operations or total return as a result of these transactions.
Global Institutional Fund Liquidation
Effective April 27, 2011, the Global Institutional Fund liquidated assets and ceased operations.
Global Fund Changes
At a meeting held on February 16, 2011 the Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved the following changes with respect to the Fund, each effective on April 29, 2011:
| • | | The change of the Fund’s name to “MSCI EAFE Equal Weight Fund;” |
|
| • | | The change of the Fund’s’ investment objective to “performance that corresponds, before fees and expenses, to the price and yield performance of the MSCI EAFE Equal Weighted Index;” |
|
| • | | The change of the Fund’s investment strategies to reflect the new name and investment objective; |
|
| • | | The change of the Fund’s benchmark index in light of the foregoing changes to the Fund’s investment objective and strategies; and |
|
| • | | A new lower investment advisory fee of 0.70% of average daily net assets on an annual basis (instead of 1.00% currently). |
|
| • | | The creation of the new Institutional Class in MSCI EAFE Equal Weight Fund. |
Also, the Fund’s portfolio managers are expected to change when the new strategies are implemented.

Rydex Funds, Rydex|SGI Funds, Rydex Investments, Rydex Distributors, Inc., Security Investors, LLC, Security Global Investors, LLC, Security Distributors, Inc. and Rydex Advisory Services (Collectively “Rydex|SGI”)
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.
