Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24
This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim Alpha Opportunity Fund for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024. You can find additional information about the fund at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature. You can also request this information by contacting 800 820 0888 or GuggenheimClientServices@mufg-is.com.
This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.
For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class A shares) returned 14.64%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 36.35% for the same period and outperforming the fund's secondary index, the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, which returned 5.49% for the same period.
The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index to the S&P 500 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?
The global growth outlook remained modestly bullish and steady during the reporting period, while inflation seemed to be finally tamed, resulting in a 50 basis point rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve in September and potentially up to two more by the end of 2024. This optimism helped the S&P 500 Index gain more than 36% during the reporting period. The fund significantly outperformed the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index. Among the fundamental factors, the fund's exposure in higher profitability, lower volatility, and higher momentum names paid off well. The overall contribution of the industry tilts (overweights/underweights) was moderate, whereas security selection was quite strong.
Cumulative performance* for the fund's most recently completed 10 years (as of 9.30.24), assuming a $10,000 initial investment.

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24
This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim Alpha Opportunity Fund for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024. You can find additional information about the fund at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature. You can also request this information by contacting 800 820 0888 or GuggenheimClientServices@mufg-is.com.
This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.
Institutional Class | $153 | 1.42% |
For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Institutional Class shares) returned 15.04%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 36.35% for the same period and outperforming the fund's secondary index, the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, which returned 5.49% for the same period.
The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index to the S&P 500 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?
The global growth outlook remained modestly bullish and steady during the reporting period, while inflation seemed to be finally tamed, resulting in a 50 basis point rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve in September and potentially up to two more by the end of 2024. This optimism helped the S&P 500 Index gain more than 36% during the reporting period. The fund significantly outperformed the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index. Among the fundamental factors, the fund's exposure in higher profitability, lower volatility, and higher momentum names paid off well. The overall contribution of the industry tilts (overweights/underweights) was moderate, whereas security selection was quite strong.
Cumulative performance* for the fund's most recently completed 10 years (as of 9.30.24), assuming a $2,000,000 initial investment.

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24
This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim Large Cap Value Fund for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024. You can find additional information about the fund at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature. You can also request this information by contacting 800 820 0888 or GuggenheimClientServices@mufg-is.com.
This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.
For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class A shares) returned 23.55%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 36.35% for the same period and underperforming the fund's secondary index, the Russell 1000 Value Index, which returned 27.76% for the same period.
The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the Russell 1000 Value Index to the S&P 500 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?
The fund lagged the Russell 1000 Value Index (the fund's ancillary index) due to sector allocation, as an overweight to the Energy sector, the worst performing sector, and an underweight to the Industrials sector, hurt results. An overweight to the Utilities sector, which was one of the best performing sectors during the reporting period, benefited performance. The largest individual detractor for the fund was Humana, Inc., a health insurance provider whose profitability suffered as industry competition increased along with patients' claims. Positive selection within the Technology sector, which benefited from AI-driven investment, contributed to performance.
Cumulative performance* for the fund's most recently completed 10 years (as of 9.30.24), assuming a $10,000 initial investment.

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24
This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim Large Cap Value Fund for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024. You can find additional information about the fund at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature. You can also request this information by contacting 800 820 0888 or GuggenheimClientServices@mufg-is.com.
This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.
For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class P shares) returned 23.56%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 36.35% for the same period and underperforming the fund's secondary index, the Russell 1000 Value Index, which returned 27.76% for the same period.
The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the Russell 1000 Value Index to the S&P 500 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?
The fund lagged the Russell 1000 Value Index (the fund's ancillary index) due to sector allocation, as an overweight to the Energy sector, the worst performing sector, and an underweight to the Industrials sector, hurt results. An overweight to the Utilities sector, which was one of the best performing sectors during the reporting period, benefited performance. The largest individual detractor for the fund was Humana, Inc., a health insurance provider whose profitability suffered as industry competition increased along with patients' claims. Positive selection within the Technology sector, which benefited from AI-driven investment, contributed to performance.
Cumulative performance* for the fund since inception (as of 9.30.24), assuming a $10,000 initial investment.

This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.
For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class A shares) returned 1.47%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 36.35% for the same period and underperforming the fund's secondary index, the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, which returned 5.49% for the same period.
The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index to the S&P 500 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?
The global growth outlook remained modestly bullish and steady during the reporting period, while inflation seemed to be finally tamed, resulting in a 50 basis point rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve in September and potentially up to two more by the end of 2024. The fund underperformed the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index. Among REITs Sectors, the fund had negative contribution from Residential, Net Lease, and Industrial. This was slightly offset by positive contribution in Lodging, Data Center, and Strip Retail.
Cumulative performance* for the fund since inception (as of 9.30.24), assuming a $10,000 initial investment.

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24
This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim Market Neutral Real Estate Fund for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024. You can find additional information about the fund at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature. You can also request this information by contacting 800 820 0888 or GuggenheimClientServices@mufg-is.com.
This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.
For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class P shares) returned 1.42%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 36.35% for the same period and underperforming the fund's secondary index, the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, which returned 5.49% for the same period.
The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index to the S&P 500 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?
The global growth outlook remained modestly bullish and steady during the reporting period, while inflation seemed to be finally tamed, resulting in a 50 basis point rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve in September and potentially up to two more by the end of 2024. The fund underperformed the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index. Among REITs Sectors, the fund had negative contribution from Residential, Net Lease, and Industrial. This was slightly offset by positive contribution in Lodging, Data Center, and Strip Retail.

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24
This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim Risk Managed Real Estate Fund for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024. You can find additional information about the fund at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature. You can also request this information by contacting 800 820 0888 or GuggenheimClientServices@mufg-is.com.
This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.
For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class A shares) returned 28.31%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 36.35% for the same period and underperforming the fund's secondary index, the FTSE NAREIT Equity REITs Total Return Index, which returned 34.74% for the same period.
The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the FTSE NAREIT Equity REITs Index to the S&P 500 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?
The global growth outlook remained modestly bullish and steady during the reporting period, while inflation seemed to be finally tamed, resulting in a 50 basis point rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve in September and potentially up to two more by the end of 2024. This optimism helped the FTSE Nareit Equity REITS Index (the Fund's ancillary index) to gain more than 34%. The fund underperformed the FTSE Nareit Equity REITS Index. Of the fund's three potential alpha sources (long-only portfolio, long/short portfolio, REIT risk allocation model), two of the three contributed negatively to performance. The long sleeve underperformed the index, while the long/short sleeve contributed to the fund's return. The risk allocation model detracted from return as the index performed strongly during the last quarter of the year versus the roughly 91% beta exposure of the fund (which is typical neutral positioning for the fund).
Cumulative performance* for the fund's most recently completed 10 years (as of 9.30.24), assuming a $10,000 initial investment.

This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.
For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class C shares) returned 27.44%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 36.35% for the same period and underperforming the fund's secondary index, the FTSE NAREIT Equity REITs Total Return Index, which returned 34.74% for the same period.
The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the FTSE NAREIT Equity REITs Index to the S&P 500 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?
The global growth outlook remained modestly bullish and steady during the reporting period, while inflation seemed to be finally tamed, resulting in a 50 basis point rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve in September and potentially up to two more by the end of 2024. This optimism helped the FTSE Nareit Equity REITS Index (the Fund's ancillary index) to gain more than 34%. The fund underperformed the FTSE Nareit Equity REITS Index. Of the fund's three potential alpha sources (long-only portfolio, long/short portfolio, REIT risk allocation model), two of the three contributed negatively to performance. The long sleeve underperformed the index, while the long/short sleeve contributed to the fund's return. The risk allocation model detracted from return as the index performed strongly during the last quarter of the year versus the roughly 91% beta exposure of the fund (which is typical neutral positioning for the fund).
Cumulative performance* for the fund's most recently completed 10 years (as of 9.30.24), assuming a $10,000 initial investment.

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24

This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.
Institutional Class | $160 | 1.40% |
For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Institutional Class shares) returned 28.74%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 36.35% for the same period and underperforming the fund's secondary index, the FTSE NAREIT Equity REITs Total Return Index, which returned 34.74% for the same period.
The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the FTSE NAREIT Equity REITs Index to the S&P 500 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?
The global growth outlook remained modestly bullish and steady during the reporting period, while inflation seemed to be finally tamed, resulting in a 50 basis point rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve in September and potentially up to two more by the end of 2024. This optimism helped the FTSE Nareit Equity REITS Index (the Fund's ancillary index) to gain more than 34%. The fund underperformed the FTSE Nareit Equity REITS Index. Of the fund's three potential alpha sources (long-only portfolio, long/short portfolio, REIT risk allocation model), two of the three contributed negatively to performance. The long sleeve underperformed the index, while the long/short sleeve contributed to the fund's return. The risk allocation model detracted from return as the index performed strongly during the last quarter of the year versus the roughly 91% beta exposure of the fund (which is typical neutral positioning for the fund).
Cumulative performance* for the fund's most recently completed 10 years (as of 9.30.24), assuming a $2,000,000 initial investment.

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24

This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.
For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class A shares) returned 21.25%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 36.35% for the same period and underperforming the fund's secondary index, the Russell 2500 Value Index, which returned 26.59% for the same period.
The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the Russell 2500 Value Index to the S&P 500 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?
The fund lagged the Russell 2500 Value Index (the fund's ancillary index). While poor performance from smaller positions such as LivePerson, Inc., Luna Innovations, and Ginkgo Bioworks were the largest negative contributors, none detracted from performance by more than 45 basis points. Sector allocation was a larger detractor from performance, especially an overweighting in the Energy sector. Positive contributors included selection in Financials and Industrials as Jeffries Financial, Stifel Financial, PGTI, and Leidos all gained more than 50% during the period. Performance was subdued relative to equity indexes such as the S&P 500 Index which benefited from AI-driven large cap technology growth stocks.

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24
This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim SMid Cap Value Fund for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024. You can find additional information about the fund at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature. You can also request this information by contacting 800 820 0888 or GuggenheimClientServices@mufg-is.com.
This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.
For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class P shares) returned 21.24%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 36.35% for the same period and underperforming the fund's secondary index, the Russell 2500 Value Index, which returned 26.59% for the same period.
The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the Russell 2500 Value Index to the S&P 500 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?
The fund lagged the Russell 2500 Value Index (the fund's ancillary index). While poor performance from smaller positions such as LivePerson, Inc., Luna Innovations, and Ginkgo Bioworks were the largest negative contributors, none detracted from performance by more than 45 basis points. Sector allocation was a larger detractor from performance, especially an overweighting in the Energy sector. Positive contributors included selection in Financials and Industrials as Jeffries Financial, Stifel Financial, PGTI, and Leidos all gained more than 50% during the period. Performance was subdued relative to equity indexes such as the S&P 500 Index which benefited from AI-driven large cap technology growth stocks.

For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class A shares) returned 37.38%, outperforming the fund's benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 36.35% for the same period.
What factors materially affected the fund's performance over the last year?
The equity sleeve was allocated 15%-25% to actively managed equity and 75%-85% to passive equity. Relative to the fund's benchmark, the active equity sleeve contributed to performance. The passive equity component, which accounted for most of the fund's exposure to the broad equity market, consisted of equity index swaps and equity index futures, and generated performance roughly in line with fund's benchmark (before costs associated with derivatives); the active fixed income sleeve generated excess returns over the costs of equity index derivatives.
Cumulative performance* for the fund's most recently completed 10 years (as of 9.30.24), assuming a $10,000 initial investment.

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24
This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim StylePlus—Mid Growth Fund for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024. You can find additional information about the fund at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature. You can also request this information by contacting 800 820 0888 or GuggenheimClientServices@mufg-is.com.
This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.
For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class A shares) returned 31.52%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 36.35% for the same period and outperforming the fund's secondary index, the Russell Midcap Growth Index, which returned 29.33% for the same period.
The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the Russell Midcap Growth Index to the S&P 500 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?
The fund outperformed the Russell Midcap Growth Index (the "Index") for the reporting period. The equity sleeve was allocated 15%-25% to actively managed equity and 75%-85% to passive equity. Relative to the Index, the active equity sleeve contributed to performance. The passive equity component, which accounted for most of the fund's exposure to the broad equity market, consisted of equity index swaps and equity index futures, and generated performance roughly in line with the Index (before costs associated with derivatives); the active fixed income sleeve generated excess returns over the costs of equity index derivatives.
Cumulative performance* for the fund's most recently completed 10 years (as of 9.30.24), assuming a $10,000 initial investment.

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24
This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim StylePlus—Mid Growth Fund for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024.

This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.
Institutional Class | $169 | 1.46% |
For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Institutional Class shares) returned 31.84%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 36.35% for the same period and outperforming the fund's secondary index, the Russell Midcap Growth Index, which returned 29.33% for the same period.
The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the Russell Midcap Growth Index to the S&P 500 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?
The fund outperformed the Russell Midcap Growth Index (the "Index") for the reporting period. The equity sleeve was allocated 15%-25% to actively managed equity and 75%-85% to passive equity. Relative to the Index, the active equity sleeve contributed to performance. The passive equity component, which accounted for most of the fund's exposure to the broad equity market, consisted of equity index swaps and equity index futures, and generated performance roughly in line with the Index (before costs associated with derivatives); the active fixed income sleeve generated excess returns over the costs of equity index derivatives.
Cumulative performance* for the fund's most recently completed 10 years (as of 9.30.24), assuming a $2,000,000 initial investment.

This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.
For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class A shares) returned 26.03%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the MSCI World Index (Net), which returned 32.43% for the same period.
What factors materially affected the fund's performance over the last year?
An underweight in the Health Care sector and good selection in Consumer Staples were the largest positive contributors to the fund's return. The leading overall detractor from return was security selection, with the Industrials and Health Care sectors responsible for most of the relative underperformance. The fund was also most underweight relative to the MSCI World Index (Net) (the fund's benchmark) in the Information Technology sector, which exacerbated the underperformance. From a country perspective, security selection in Italy, France and China were the largest relative contributors to return. The U.S. was the single largest relative detractor from return. Denmark and Germany were the other leading detractors from return on a relative basis. The top relative individual contributor to the fund was Dell Technologies, Inc. The biggest individual detractor was an underweight in Nvidia Corp.

What factors materially affected the fund's performance over the last year?
An underweight in the Health Care sector and good selection in Consumer Staples were the largest positive contributors to the fund's return. The leading overall detractor from return was security selection, with the Industrials and Health Care sectors responsible for most of the relative underperformance. The fund was also most underweight relative to the MSCI World Index (Net) (the fund's benchmark) in the Information Technology sector, which exacerbated the underperformance. From a country perspective, security selection in Italy, France and China were the largest relative contributors to return. The U.S. was the single largest relative detractor from return. Denmark and Germany were the other leading detractors from return on a relative basis. The top relative individual contributor to the fund was Dell Technologies, Inc.

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24
This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim Active INvestment Series (GAINS)-Core Plus Fund for the period of August 14, 2024 (the commencement of operations) to September 30, 2024. You can find additional information about the fund at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature. You can also request this information by contacting 800 820 0888 or GuggenheimClientServices@mufg-is.com.
This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.
For the period of August 14, 2024 (the commencement of operations) to September 30, 2024, the fund (SMA Class shares) returned 0.92%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 1.28% for the same period.
What factors materially affected the fund's performance over the last year?
The fund's positive performance was driven by carry (or earned income), while duration and credit were minor contributors. The fund benefited from its allocation to high yield corporates as spreads in the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index tightened by 50 basis points since the inception of the fund. The allocation is concentrated towards shorter maturity debt of higher credit quality issuers, which we believe offers attractive total return opportunities as issuers take advantage of an accommodating capital markets environment and refinance debt early.

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24
This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim Active INvestment Series (GAINS)-Limited Duration Fund for the period of August 14, 2024 (the commencement of operations) to September 30, 2024. You can find additional information about the fund at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature. You can also request this information by contacting 800 820 0888 or GuggenheimClientServices@mufg-is.com.
This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.
For the period of August 14, 2024 (the commencement of operations) to September 30, 2024, the fund (SMA Class shares) returned 0.90%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 1.28% for the same period.
What factors materially affected the fund's performance over the last year?
The fund's positive performance was driven by carry (or earned income), while duration was a minor contributor. The fund benefitted from its allocation to high yield corporates as spreads in the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index tightened by 50 basis points since the inception of the fund. The allocation is concentrated towards shorter maturity debt of higher credit quality issuers, which we believe offers attractive total return opportunities as issuers take advantage of an accommodating capital markets environment and refinance debt early.

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24
This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim Core Bond Fund for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024. You can find additional information about the fund at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature. You can also request this information by contacting 800 820 0888 or GuggenheimClientServices@mufg-is.com.
This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.
For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class A shares) returned 12.27%, outperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 11.57% for the same period.
What factors materially affected the fund's performance over the last year?
The fund's relative outperformance against the benchmark was primarily driven by sector allocation, security selection, and the fund's carry (or earned income) advantage. The fund benefited from an overweight allocation to credit, as spreads tightened materially across the broader category. Performance from credit spread tightening in agency residential mortgage-backed securities and investment grade corporates were large drivers of absolute performance, while out-of-benchmark allocations like structured credit drove most of the relative outperformance. Duration was a large driver of absolute performance given the bull steepening move in U.S. yields.

This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.
For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class C shares) returned 11.49%, outperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 11.57% for the same period.

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24
This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim Core Bond Fund for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024. You can find additional information about the fund at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature. You can also request this information by contacting 800 820 0888 or GuggenheimClientServices@mufg-is.com.
This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.
For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class P shares) returned 12.25%, outperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 11.57% for the same period.
What factors materially affected the fund's performance over the last year?
The fund's relative outperformance against the benchmark was primarily driven by sector allocation, security selection, and the fund's carry (or earned income) advantage. The fund benefited from an overweight allocation to credit, as spreads tightened materially across the broader category. Performance from credit spread tightening in agency residential mortgage-backed securities and investment grade corporates were large drivers of absolute performance, while out-of-benchmark allocations like structured credit drove most of the relative outperformance. Duration was a large driver of absolute performance given the bull steepening move in U.S. yields.

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24
This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim Floating Rate Strategies Fund for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024. You can find additional information about the fund at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature. You can also request this information by contacting 800 820 0888 or GuggenheimClientServices@mufg-is.com.
This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.
For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class A shares) returned 7.41%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 11.57% for the same period and underperforming the fund's secondary index, the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index, which returned 9.65% for the same period.
The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan 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?
Above-average returns for both the fund and the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index (the "Index") continued to be driven by high all-in coupon rates. Loan demand, driven by record collateralized loan obligation issuance, continued to outpace net new loan issuance. Loan issuance has increased during 2024, but remains predominantly opportunistic (refinancings/repricings); new money M&A volume remains lackluster. Loan issuer fundamentals have remained in-line with historical averages given strong starting levels and resilient earnings growth, although we have continued to see tail-risk in the market. Loans spreads have tightened this year but all-in yields have remained above historical averages. Comparing the fund to the Index, idiosyncratic credit issues in the Communications and Consumer sectors were the primary detractors to relative performance during the reporting period. Credit selection in the Technology sector and the fund's high-yield bond allocation were contributors to performance during the period.
Cumulative performance* for the fund's most recently completed 10 years (as of 9.30.24), assuming a $10,000 initial investment.

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24
This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim Floating Rate Strategies Fund for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024. You can find additional information about the fund at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature. You can also request this information by contacting 800 820 0888 or GuggenheimClientServices@mufg-is.com.
This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.
For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class C shares) returned 6.62%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 11.57% for the same period and underperforming the fund's secondary index, the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index, which returned 9.65% for the same period.
The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan 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?
Above-average returns for both the fund and the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index (the "Index") continued to be driven by high all-in coupon rates. Loan demand, driven by record collateralized loan obligation issuance, continued to outpace net new loan issuance. Loan issuance has increased during 2024, but remains predominantly opportunistic (refinancings/repricings); new money M&A volume remains lackluster. Loan issuer fundamentals have remained in-line with historical averages given strong starting levels and resilient earnings growth, although we have continued to see tail-risk in the market. Loans spreads have tightened this year but all-in yields have remained above historical averages. Comparing the fund to the Index, idiosyncratic credit issues in the Communications and Consumer sectors were the primary detractors to relative performance during the reporting period. Credit selection in the Technology sector and the fund's high-yield bond allocation were contributors to performance during the period.
Cumulative performance* for the fund's most recently completed 10 years (as of 9.30.24), assuming a $10,000 initial investment.

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24
This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim Floating Rate Strategies Fund for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024.

This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.
Institutional Class | $81 | 0.78% |
For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Institutional Class shares) returned 7.66%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 11.57% for the same period and underperforming the fund's secondary index, the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index, which returned 9.65% for the same period.
The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan 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?
Above-average returns for both the fund and the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index (the "Index") continued to be driven by high all-in coupon rates. Loan demand, driven by record collateralized loan obligation issuance, continued to outpace net new loan issuance. Loan issuance has increased during 2024, but remains predominantly opportunistic (refinancings/repricings); new money M&A volume remains lackluster. Loan issuer fundamentals have remained in-line with historical averages given strong starting levels and resilient earnings growth, although we have continued to see tail-risk in the market. Loans spreads have tightened this year but all-in yields have remained above historical averages. Comparing the fund to the Index, idiosyncratic credit issues in the Communications and Consumer sectors were the primary detractors to relative performance during the reporting period. Credit selection in the Technology sector and the fund's high-yield bond allocation were contributors to performance during the period.
Cumulative performance* for the fund's most recently completed 10 years (as of 9.30.24), assuming a $2,000,000 initial investment.

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24
This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim High Yield Fund for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024. You can find additional information about the fund at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature. You can also request this information by contacting 800 820 0888 or GuggenheimClientServices@mufg-is.com.
This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.
For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class A shares) returned 14.08%, outperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 11.57% for the same period and underperforming the fund's secondary index, the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Index, which returned 15.74% for the same period.
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?
Overall, lower financing costs spurred heavy new issuance volume while strong market conditions resulted in tightening credit spreads. The primary contributors to the fund's performance were exposure to higher quality BB-credit and solid credit selection in the Communications sector. The primary detractor was the fund's exposure to bank loans, which significantly underperformed high yield for the period.

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24
This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim High Yield Fund for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024. You can find additional information about the fund at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature. You can also request this information by contacting 800 820 0888 or GuggenheimClientServices@mufg-is.com.
This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.
For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class C shares) returned 13.19%, outperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 11.57% for the same period and underperforming the fund's secondary index, the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Index, which returned 15.74% for the same period.
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?
Overall, lower financing costs spurred heavy new issuance volume while strong market conditions resulted in tightening credit spreads. The primary contributors to the fund's performance were exposure to higher quality BB-credit and solid credit selection in the Communications sector. The primary detractor was the fund's exposure to bank loans, which significantly underperformed high yield for the period.
Cumulative performance* for the fund's most recently completed 10 years (as of 9.30.24), assuming a $10,000 initial investment.

This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.
Institutional Class | $83 | 0.77% |
For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Institutional Class shares) returned 14.40%, outperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 11.57% for the same period and underperforming the fund's secondary index, the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Index, which returned 15.74% for the same period.
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?
Overall, lower financing costs spurred heavy new issuance volume while strong market conditions resulted in tightening credit spreads. The primary contributors to the fund's performance were exposure to higher quality BB-credit and solid credit selection in the Communications sector. The primary detractor was the fund's exposure to bank loans, which significantly underperformed high yield for the period.
Cumulative performance* for the fund's most recently completed 10 years (as of 9.30.24), assuming a $2,000,000 initial investment.

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24
This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim Limited Duration Fund for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024. You can find additional information about the fund at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature. You can also request this information by contacting 800 820 0888 or GuggenheimClientServices@mufg-is.com.
This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.
For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class A shares) returned 8.96%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 11.57% for the same period and outperforming the fund's secondary index, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond 1-3 Year Total Return Index, which returned 7.23% for the same period.
The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond 1-3 Year Total Return 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?
The fund's relative outperformance against the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond 1-3 Year Total Return Index (the fund's ancillary index) was primarily driven by sector allocation, security selection, and the fund's carry (or earned income) advantage. The fund benefited from its structured credit allocation, which includes various subsectors of asset-backed securities, collateralized loan obligations, non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities and non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities, as prices moved higher on both lower interest rates and tighter credit spreads. This followed increased market optimism on the potential for a soft landing given disinflationary trends and resilient economic data. Security selection within investment grade corporates was a key contributor to performance as the fund's investment grade corporate holdings outperformed the Index by 1.2%.

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24
This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim Limited Duration Fund for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024. You can find additional information about the fund at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature. You can also request this information by contacting 800 820 0888 or GuggenheimClientServices@mufg-is.com.
This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.
For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class C shares) returned 8.20%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 11.57% for the same period and outperforming the fund's secondary index, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond 1-3 Year Total Return Index, which returned 7.23% for the same period.
The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond 1-3 Year Total Return 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?
The fund's relative outperformance against the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond 1-3 Year Total Return Index (the fund's ancillary index) was primarily driven by sector allocation, security selection, and the fund's carry (or earned income) advantage. The fund benefited from its structured credit allocation, which includes various subsectors of asset-backed securities, collateralized loan obligations, non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities and non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities, as prices moved higher on both lower interest rates and tighter credit spreads. This followed increased market optimism on the potential for a soft landing given disinflationary trends and resilient economic data. Security selection within investment grade corporates was a key contributor to performance as the fund's investment grade corporate holdings outperformed the Index by 1.2%.
Cumulative performance* for the fund's most recently completed 10 years (as of 9.30.24), assuming a $10,000 initial investment.

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24
This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim Limited Duration Fund for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024.

This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.
Institutional Class | $52 | 0.50% |
For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Institutional Class shares) returned 9.28%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 11.57% for the same period and outperforming the fund's secondary index, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond 1-3 Year Total Return Index, which returned 7.23% for the same period.
The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond 1-3 Year Total Return 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?
The fund's relative outperformance against the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond 1-3 Year Total Return Index (the fund's ancillary index) was primarily driven by sector allocation, security selection, and the fund's carry (or earned income) advantage. The fund benefited from its structured credit allocation, which includes various subsectors of asset-backed securities, collateralized loan obligations, non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities and non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities, as prices moved higher on both lower interest rates and tighter credit spreads. This followed increased market optimism on the potential for a soft landing given disinflationary trends and resilient economic data. Security selection within investment grade corporates was a key contributor to performance as the fund's investment grade corporate holdings outperformed the Index by 1.2%.
Cumulative performance* for the fund's most recently completed 10 years (as of 9.30.24), assuming a $2,000,000 initial investment.

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24
This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim Macro Opportunities Fund for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024. You can find additional information about the fund at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature. You can also request this information by contacting 800 820 0888 or GuggenheimClientServices@mufg-is.com.
This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.
For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class A shares) returned 11.92%, outperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 11.57% for the same period and outperforming the fund's secondary index, the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, which returned 5.49% for the same period.
The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill 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?
The fund's positive performance was driven by credit positioning, duration, and carry (or earned income). The fund benefited from its allocation to high yield corporates as spreads in the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index tightened by 99 basis points amid increased market optimism on the potential for a soft landing given disinflationary trends and resilient economic data. Security selection within high yield corporates, collateralized loan obligations, and asset-backed securities was a key contributor to performance as the fund's holdings outperformed representative indices for each of these sectors by 2.0%, 2.6%, and 3.9%, respectively.

This is a summary of certain changes to the fund since September 30, 2023. For more complete information, you may review the fund's next prospectus, which we expect to be available by January 31, 2025 at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature or, by calling 800 820 0888.
The fund's (Class A shares) net expense ratio, which reflects expense waivers and reimbursements and includes certain expenses that are outside of the contractual expense limit, was 1.25% for the year ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of 0.19% compared to the prior year. The primary driver of the decrease was a decrease in interest expense as the fund did not utilize reverse repurchase agreements during the reporting period.

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24
This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim Macro Opportunities Fund for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024. You can find additional information about the fund at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature. You can also request this information by contacting 800 820 0888 or GuggenheimClientServices@mufg-is.com.
This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.
For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class C shares) returned 11.13%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 11.57% for the same period and outperforming the fund's secondary index, the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, which returned 5.49% for the same period.
The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill 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?
The fund's positive performance was driven by credit positioning, duration, and carry (or earned income). The fund benefited from its allocation to high yield corporates as spreads in the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index tightened by 99 basis points amid increased market optimism on the potential for a soft landing given disinflationary trends and resilient economic data. Security selection within high yield corporates, collateralized loan obligations, and asset-backed securities was a key contributor to performance as the fund's holdings outperformed representative indices for each of these sectors by 2.0%, 2.6%, and 3.9%, respectively.
Cumulative performance* for the fund's most recently completed 10 years (as of 9.30.24), assuming a $10,000 initial investment.

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24
This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim Macro Opportunities Fund for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024. You can find additional information about the fund at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature. You can also request this information by contacting 800 820 0888 or GuggenheimClientServices@mufg-is.com.
This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.
Institutional Class | $97 | 0.91% |
For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Institutional Class shares) returned 12.28%, outperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 11.57% for the same period and outperforming the fund's secondary index, the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, which returned 5.49% for the same period.
The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill 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?
The fund's positive performance was driven by credit positioning, duration, and carry (or earned income). The fund benefited from its allocation to high yield corporates as spreads in the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index tightened by 99 basis points amid increased market optimism on the potential for a soft landing given disinflationary trends and resilient economic data. Security selection within high yield corporates, collateralized loan obligations, and asset-backed securities was a key contributor to performance as the fund's holdings outperformed representative indices for each of these sectors by 2.0%, 2.6%, and 3.9%, respectively.
Cumulative performance* for the fund's most recently completed 10 years (as of 9.30.24), assuming a $2,000,000 initial investment.

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24
This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim Municipal Income Fund for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024. You can find additional information about the fund at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature. You can also request this information by contacting 800 820 0888 or GuggenheimClientServices@mufg-is.com.
This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.
For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class A shares) returned 11.10%, outperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index, which returned 10.37% for the same period.
What factors materially affected the fund's performance over the last year?
The fund's relative outperformance was driven by duration positioning and tighter spreads. School districts and healthcare were the two largest sector allocations and the top two contributors to total return during the year. Security selection in most sectors helped relative returns. Tax exempt agency mortgage-backed securities modestly contributed to performance, a welcome reversal from prior periods.

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24
This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim Municipal Income Fund for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024. You can find additional information about the fund at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature. You can also request this information by contacting 800 820 0888 or GuggenheimClientServices@mufg-is.com.
This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.
For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class C shares) returned 10.38%, outperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index, which returned 10.37% for the same period.
What factors materially affected the fund's performance over the last year?
The fund's relative outperformance was driven by duration positioning and tighter spreads. School districts and healthcare were the two largest sector allocations and the top two contributors to total return during the year. Security selection in most sectors helped relative returns. Tax exempt agency mortgage-backed securities modestly contributed to performance, a welcome reversal from prior periods.
Cumulative performance* for the fund's most recently completed 10 years (as of 9.30.24), assuming a $10,000 initial investment.

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24
This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim Total Return Bond Fund for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024. You can find additional information about the fund at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature. You can also request this information by contacting 800 820 0888 or GuggenheimClientServices@mufg-is.com.
This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.
For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class A shares) returned 13.04%, outperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 11.57% for the same period.
What factors materially affected the fund's performance over the last year?
The fund's relative outperformance was primarily driven by sector allocation, security selection, and the fund's carry (or earned income) advantage over the benchmark. The fund benefited from an overweight allocation to credit, as spreads tightened materially across the broader category. Performance from credit spread tightening in agency residential mortgage-backed securities and investment grade corporates were large drivers of absolute performance, while out-of-benchmark allocations like high yield corporates and structured credit drove most of the relative outperformance. Duration was a large driver of absolute performance given the bull steepening move in U.S. yields.
Cumulative performance* for the fund's most recently completed 10 years (as of 9.30.24), assuming a $10,000 initial investment.

The primary driver of the decrease was a decrease in interest expense as the fund utilized fewer reverse repurchase agreements during the reporting period.

For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class C shares) returned 12.25%, outperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 11.57% for the same period.

This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.
For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class P shares) returned 13.09%, outperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 11.57% for the same period.

Performance from credit spread tightening in agency residential mortgage-backed securities and investment grade corporates were large drivers of absolute performance, while out-of-benchmark allocations like high yield corporates and structured credit drove most of the relative outperformance.

This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.
For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class R6 shares) returned 13.44%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 11.57% for the same period.
What factors materially affected the fund's performance over the last year?
The fund's relative outperformance was primarily driven by sector allocation, security selection, and the fund's carry (or earned income) advantage over the benchmark. The fund benefited from an overweight allocation to credit, as spreads tightened materially across the broader category. Performance from credit spread tightening in agency residential mortgage-backed securities and investment grade corporates were large drivers of absolute performance, while out-of-benchmark allocations like high yield corporates and structured credit drove most of the relative outperformance. Duration was a large driver of absolute performance given the bull steepening move in U.S. yields.

This is a summary of certain changes to the fund since September 30, 2023. For more complete information, you may review the fund's next prospectus, which we expect to be available by January 31, 2025 at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature or, by calling 800 820 0888.
The fund's (Class R6 shares) net expense ratio, which reflects expense waivers and reimbursements and includes certain expenses that are outside of the contractual expense limit, was 0.49% for the year ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of 0.09% compared to the prior year. The primary driver of the decrease was a decrease in interest expense as the fund utilized fewer reverse repurchase agreements during the reporting period.

Annual Shareholder Report | 9.30.24
This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Guggenheim Ultra Short Duration Fund for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024. You can find additional information about the fund at GuggenheimInvestments.com/mutual-funds/literature. You can also request this information by contacting 800 820 0888 or GuggenheimClientServices@mufg-is.com.
This report describes changes to the fund that occurred during the reporting period.
For the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the fund (Class A shares) returned 8.16%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 11.57% for the same period and outperforming the fund's secondary index, the Bloomberg 1-3 Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, which returned 5.52% for the same period.
The fund's broad-based securities market index was changed from the Bloomberg 1-3 Month U.S. Treasury Bill 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?
The fund's positive performance was driven by credit positioning, duration, and carry (or earned income). The fund benefited from its diverse structured credit allocation, which includes asset-backed securities, collateralized loan obligations, non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities and non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities, as prices moved higher following increased market optimism on the potential for a soft landing given disinflationary trends and resilient economic data. Duration was a considerable contributor to performance as 2-year and 3-year Treasury yields fell 140 basis points and 125 basis points, respectively, following softer Consumer Price Index ("CPI") reports.

AR-GIYIX-093024
The registrant’s Board of Trustees 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 of ethics during the period covered by this report. The code of ethics is filed as an exhibit to this Form N-CSR.
| Item 3. | Audit Committee Financial Expert. |
The registrant's Board of Trustees has determined that it has at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee (the “Audit Committee”), Sandra G. Sponem. Ms. Sponem is “independent,” meaning that she is not an “interested person” of the registrant (as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act) and she does not accept any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the registrant (except in her capacity as a Board or committee member).
(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 amended, 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 Trustees in the absence of such designation or identification. The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of the audit committee or Board of Trustees.)
| Item 4. | Principal Accountant Fees and Services. |
| (a) | Audit Fees: the aggregate Audit Fees billed by the registrant’s principal accountant for professional services rendered for the audit of the annual financial statements, or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements were $706,919 and $705,059 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. |
| (b) | Audit-Related Fees: the aggregate Audit-Related Fees billed by the registrant’s principal accountant for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the registrant’s financial statements and are not reported under paragraph (a) of this Item 4 were $14,906 and $0 for fiscal years ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. |
| (c) | Tax Fees: 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 were 226,776 and $260,077 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. These services consisted of (i) preparation of U.S. federal, state and excise tax returns; (ii) U.S. federal and state tax planning, advice and assistance regarding statutory, regulatory or administrative developments, (iii) tax advice regarding tax qualification matters and/or treatment of various financial instruments held or proposed to be acquired and (iv) review of U.S. federal excise distribution calculations. |
| (d) | All Other Fees: the aggregate All Other Fees billed by the registrant’s principal accountant for products and services provided by the principal accountant, other than the services reported in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this Item 4, were $0 and $0 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. |
| (e) | Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures. |
(1) The registrant’s pre-approval policy requires the Audit Committee to pre-approve any engagement of the registrant’s independent auditors to provide any services, other than “prohibited non-audit services,” to the registrant, including the fees and other compensation to be paid to the independent auditors (unless an exception is available under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X). The independent auditors or the Chief Accounting Officer of the registrant (or an officer of the registrant who reports to the Chief Accounting Officer) report to the Audit Committee at each of its regular scheduled meetings all audit, audit-related and permissible non-audit services initiated since the last such report (unless the services were contained in the initial audit plan, as previously presented to, and approved by, the Audit Committee). The report includes a general description of the services and projected fees, and the means by which such services were approved by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is also required to pre-approve any engagement of the registrant’s independent auditors, including the fees and other compensation to be paid to the independent auditors, to provide any non-audit services to the registrant’s investment adviser (or any “control affiliate” of the investment adviser providing ongoing services to the registrant), if the engagement relates directly to the operations or financial reporting of the registrant (unless an exception is available under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X).
(2) None of the services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d) were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
| (g) | Non-Audit Fees. The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant's accountant for the most recent fiscal year and the preceding years for services rendered to the registrant, the investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant were $241,682 and $260,077, 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) | Auditor Independence. The registrant’s Audit Committee was provided with information relating to the provision of non-audit services by Ernst & Young, LLP to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved by the Audit Committee so that a determination could be made whether the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining Ernst & Young, LLP’s independence. |
