LETTER TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
DEAR SHAREHOLDER,
The U.S. enjoyed economic recovery through the 12 months ended March 31, 2011, despite the poor housing picture and slow-growing labor market. U.S. stocks emerged from the 2008-09 downturn in early 2010, slowed only at mid-year by European debt problems and the worry that expiration of U.S. government stimulus programs might lead to a double-dip recession. Concern that the recovery was not self-sustaining led the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) to undertake a second round of quantitative easing in the last part of 2010 to keep long-term rates low and spur economic growth.
Stocks responded to the infusion of liquidity by rising nearly 25% from the end of August through March 2011, then stumbling after rising prices for oil and many other commodities accompanied concerns that inflation might get out of hand. The market’s 2011 gains proceeded to be wiped out by political unrest in the Mid East, renewed worries about the sovereign debt of peripheral European countries and a devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Investor belief that these situations were under control, however, sparked a rebound that helped broad U.S. market measures finish the first quarter moderately higher, and 15% or more above the levels seen 12 months earlier.
Investors searching for higher yields increasingly took on credit risk over the past 12 months, which was reflected in good performance across most fixed income sectors, particularly investment grade corporate bonds and high-yield bonds. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury has been climbing since last fall, as safe-haven buying subsided except during market shocks like the Japanese earthquake.
The Fed said in March 2011 that the economy was on firmer footing and that the run-up in commodity prices would not lead to a sustained increase in inflation. It stuck with its planned purchase of up to $600 billion in government bonds, slated to end in June 2011, and—as it has since December 2008—left short-term rates unchanged.
Many U.S. investors are preparing for the shift away from the bond-buying strategy, which they anticipate could slow or halt the stock market rally and introduce a period of volatility. Investors in global markets, meanwhile, are increasingly concerned about the potential for soaring food and energy prices to derail global economic recovery.
The accumulation of shocks, ranging from higher oil prices to turmoil in the Mid East to the effects of the natural disaster in Japan, has led to a lowering of global growth forecasts for 2011. These overseas events pounded the U.S. economy in the form of higher fuel prices, supply-chain disruptions and financial market volatility, also leading to downgrades in estimates of U.S. GDP growth for the first quarter and entire year of 2011. Continuing weakness in the housing market is still plaguing economic growth. The March labor market report showed job growth was picking up, but flat growth in wages and higher fuel and food costs kept consumers on edge. Increases in energy and food prices seem not yet to have spilled into broader inflation measures. Consumer spending is growing, although slowly, while corporate profits continue to rise impressively.
Geopolitical events and improving economic conditions have generally pushed commodity prices higher over the past 12 months. In the first quarter of 2011, the price of a barrel of oil rose above $100 for the first time since 2008. The higher price of oil as a production cost caused the prices of many metals to slip in early 2011, aided by a pullback in demand due to the Japanese quake or China’s efforts to slow lending. Gold spent much of the first quarter of 2011 in negative territory, but has turned in a spectacular climb over the past 12 months, closing out the period at a record high of $1,438 an ounce.
The dollar gained on the euro in 2010, reflecting concern about Europe’s crisis in sovereign debt, but the rally did not carry over into the first quarter of 2011, even though the Mid East was in turmoil, a nuclear crisis overtook Japan and Portugal was pointing toward default. In fact, the dollar in the first quarter of 2011 lost out to many currency counterparts around the world, gaining only slightly against the yen. Since the trade-weighted index for the U.S. dollar peaked last summer, it has fallen 15%, as investors seemed to fear the deleterious effects of continuous Fed easing.

LETTER TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS (concluded)
U.S. economic growth, while not robust, has proven strong enough to overcome some major shocks in the first quarter of 2011. The government stimulus package and quantitative easing program have revived the economy, and optimism is growing 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 poised to recover. For the rest of 2011, investors face interest rate risk arising from inflationary monetary policy and deteriorating credit quality in the industrialized world. Energy shortages that could put upward pressure on the prices of oil, natural gas and coal pose perhaps the largest risk to economic growth.

THE RYDEX | SGI SERIES FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT | 3
A BRIEF NOTE ON THE COMPOUNDING OF RETURNS (Unaudited)
Many of the Rydex|SGI Funds described in this report are benchmarked daily to leveraged and/or inverse leveraged versions of published indices. To properly evaluate the performance of these funds, it is essential to understand the effect of mathematical compounding on their respective returns.
Because of the nonlinear effects of leverage applied over time, it is possible for a fund to perform in line with its benchmark for several individual periods in a row, yet seem to trail the benchmark over the entire period. It is also possible that a fund that performs in-line with its benchmark on a daily basis may seem to outperform its benchmark over longer periods.
An Example of Compounding
For example, consider a hypothetical fund that is designed to produce returns that correspond to 150% of an index. On the first day of a period, the index rises from a level of 100 to a level of 106, producing a 6.0% gain and an expectation that the fund will rise by 9.0%. On the same day, the fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) increases from $10.00 to $10.90 for a gain of 9.0%—in line with its benchmark.
On day two, assume the index falls from 106 to 99 for a loss of about 6.6%. The fund, as expected, falls 9.9% to a price of $9.82. On each day, the fund performed exactly in line with its benchmark, but for the two-day period, the fund was down 1.8%, while the index was down only 1.0%. Without taking into account the daily compounding of returns, one would expect the fund to lose 1.5% and would see the fund as trailing by 0.3% when in fact it had performed perfectly. This example is summarized in the table below.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Index | | Index | | Fund | | | | Fund | | |
| | Level | | Performance | | Expectation | | Fund NAV | | Performance | | Assessment |
|
Start | | 100 | | | | | | $10.00 | | | | |
Day 1 | | 106 | | 6.0% | | 9.0% | | $10.90 | | 9.0% | | In line |
Day 2 | | 99 | | -6.6% | | -9.9% | | $9.82 | | -9.9% | | In line |
Cumulative | | | | -1.0% | | -1.5% | | | | -1.8% | | -0.3% |
As illustrated by this simple example, the effect of leverage can make it difficult to form expectations or judgments about fund performance given only the returns of the unleveraged index.
Because certain funds seek to track the performance of their benchmark on a daily basis, mathematical compounding, especially with respect to those funds that use leverage as part of their investment strategy, may prevent a fund from correlating with the monthly, quarterly, annual or other period performance of its benchmark. Due to the compounding of daily returns, leveraged and inverse funds’ returns over periods other than one day will likely differ in amount and possibly direction from the benchmark return for the same period. Investors should monitor their leveraged and inverse funds’ holdings consistent with their strategies, as frequently as daily. For those funds that consistently apply leverage, the value of the fund’s shares will tend to increase or decrease more than the value of any increase or decrease in its benchmark index. For more on correlation, leverage and other risks, please read the prospectus.
In general, any change in direction in an index will produce compounding that seems to work against an investor. Were the index to move in the same direction (either up or down) for two or more periods in a row, the compounding of those returns would work in an investor’s favor, causing the fund to seemingly beat its benchmark.
As a general rule of thumb, more leverage in a fund will magnify the compounding effect, while less leverage will generally produce results that are more in line with expectations. In addition, periods of high volatility in an underlying index will also cause the effects of compounding to be more pronounced, while lower volatility will produce a more muted effect.

ABOUT SHAREHOLDERS’ FUND EXPENSES (Unaudited)
All mutual funds have operating expenses and it is important for our shareholders to understand the impact of costs on their investments. Shareholders of a Fund incur two types of costs: (i) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (ii) ongoing costs, including management fees, administrative services, and shareholder reports, among others. These ongoing costs, or operating expenses, are deducted from a fund’s gross income and reduce the investment return of the fund.
A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets, which is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help investors understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period beginning September 30, 2010 and ending March 31, 2011.
The following tables illustrate a Fund’s costs in two ways:
Table 1. Based on actual Fund return. This section helps investors estimate the actual expenses paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return, and the fourth column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. Investors may use the information here, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses paid over the period. Simply divide the Fund’s 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 provided under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Table 2. Based on hypothetical 5% return. This section is intended to help investors compare a Fund’s cost with those of other mutual funds. The table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses paid during the period. The example is useful in making comparisons because the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on the 5% return. Investors can assess a Fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Certain retirement plans such as IRA, SEP, Roth IRA and 403(b), Rydex prototype money purchase plan and profit sharing plan accounts are charged an annual $15 maintenance fee. Upon liquidating a retirement account, a $15 account closing fee will be taken from the proceeds of the redemption.
The calculations illustrated above assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.
Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs which may be incurred by a Fund.
More information about a Fund’s expenses, including annual expense ratios for the past five years, can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to the appropriate Fund prospectus.

PERFORMANCE REPORT AND FUND PROFILE (Unaudited) March 31, 2011
NOVA FUND
OBJECTIVE: To provide investment results that match the performance of a specific benchmark on a daily basis. The Fund’s current benchmark is 150% of the performance of the S&P 500® Index (the “underlying index”). The Fund does not seek to achieve its investment objective over a period of time greater than one day.
Inception: July 12, 1993
For the one-year period ended March 31, 2011, Nova Fund maintained a daily correlation of over 99% to its benchmark of 150% of the daily price movement of the S&P 500 Index. Nova Fund Investor Class returned 21.38%, while the S&P 500 Index returned 15.65% over the same period.
Energy (4.30%), Information Technology (2.28%) and Industrials (2.27%) provided the most performance to the index during the year. Financials (0.45%), Health Care (0.48%) and Utilities (0.51%) provided the least performance to the index during the year.
Apple, Inc., Exxon Mobil Corp. and Chevron Corp. were among the stocks which provided the most performance to the index during the year. Bank of America Corp., Cisco Systems, Inc. and Hewlett-Packard Co. detracted from performance for the year.
Derivatives in the Fund were used to help provide exposure to the composition of the benchmark in the highest efficient manner and to provide leverage, not for hedging purposes. The results of derivatives use during the period were within our expectations and contributed to the Fund’s performance.
Due to the compounding of daily returns, leveraged and inverse funds’ returns over periods other than one day will likely differ in amount and possibly direction from the benchmark return for the same period. Investors should monitor their leveraged and inverse funds’ holdings to ensure that they are consistent with their strategies, as frequently as daily.
The effects of compounding may cause the longer-term correlation of the fund to its benchmark to diminish. The apparent discrepancy between the leveraged and unleveraged indices is the result of compounding, which is described briefly on page 4 of this report.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.

The returns presented above do not reflect the effects of taxes. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Returns are historical and include changes in principal and reinvested dividends and capital gains. The graphs are based on Investor Class shares and A-Class shares only; performance for Advisor Class shares and C-Class shares will vary due to differences in fee structures.

PERFORMANCE REPORT AND FUND PROFILE (Unaudited)
March 31, 2011
S&P 500 FUND
OBJECTIVE: To provide investment results that match the performance of a specific benchmark on a daily basis. The Fund’s current benchmark is the S&P 500® Index (the “underlying index”).
Inception: May 31, 2006
The broad-market S&P 500 Index returned 15.65% for the one-year period ended March 31, 2011, while the S&P 500 Fund H-Class returned 13.90% for the same period. The Fund maintained a daily correlation of over 99% to its benchmark of the daily price movement of the S&P 500 Index.
Energy (4.30%), Information Technology (2.28%) and Industrials (2.27%) provided the most performance to the index during the year. Financials (0.45%), Health Care (0.48%) and Utilities (0.51%) provided the least performance to the index during the year.
Apple, Inc., Exxon Mobil Corp. and Chevron Corp. were among the stocks which provided the most performance to the index during the year. Bank of America Corp., Cisco Systems, Inc. and Hewlett-Packard Co. detracted from performance for the year.
Derivatives in the Fund were used to help provide exposure to the composition of the benchmark in the highest efficient manner, not for hedging purposes. The results of derivatives use during the period were within our expectations and contributed to the Fund’s performance.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.

PERFORMANCE REPORT AND FUND PROFILE (Unaudited) | | March 31, 2011 |
INVERSE S&P 500 STRATEGY FUND
OBJECTIVE: To provide investment results that inversely correlate to the performance of the S&P 500® Index (the “underlying index”) on a daily basis. The Fund does not seek to achieve its investment objective over a period of time greater than one day.
Inception: January 7, 1994
For the one-year period ended March 31, 2011, Inverse S&P 500 Strategy Fund maintained a daily correlation of over 99% to its benchmark of -100% of the daily price movement of the S&P 500 Index. Inverse S&P 500 Strategy Fund Investor Class returned -17.10%, while the S&P 500 Index returned 15.65% over the same period.
Energy (4.30%), Information Technology (2.28%) and Industrials (2.27%) provided the most performance to the index during the year. Financials (0.45%), Health Care (0.48%) and Utilities (0.51%) provided the least performance to the index during the year.
Apple, Inc., Exxon Mobil Corp. and Chevron Corp. were among the stocks which provided the most performance to the index during the year. Bank of America Corp., Cisco Systems, Inc. and Hewlett-Packard Co. detracted from performance for the year.
Derivatives in the Fund were used to help provide exposure to the composition of the benchmark in the highest efficient manner and not for hedging purposes. The results of derivatives use during the period were within our expectations and contributed to the Fund’s performance.
Due to the compounding of daily returns, leveraged and inverse funds’ returns over periods other than one day will likely differ in amount and possibly direction from the benchmark return for the same period. Investors should monitor their leveraged and inverse funds’ holdings to ensure that they are consistent with their strategies, as frequently as daily.
The effects of compounding may cause the longer-term correlation of the fund to its benchmark to diminish. The apparent discrepancy between the leveraged and unleveraged indices is the result of compounding, which is described briefly on page 4 of this report.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.

“Holdings Diversification (Market Exposure as % of Net Assets)” excludes any temporary cash investments.

For the one-year period ended March 31, 2011, NASDAQ-100® Fund maintained a daily correlation of over 99% to its benchmark of 100% of the daily price movement of the NASDAQ-100 Index. The NASDAQ-100 Fund Investor Class returned 18.71%, while the NASDAQ-100 Index returned 20.35% over the same period.

PERFORMANCE REPORT AND FUND PROFILE (Unaudited) | | March 31, 2011 |
INVERSE NASDAQ-100® STRATEGY FUND
OBJECTIVE: To provide investment results that match the performance of a specific benchmark on a daily basis. The Fund’s current benchmark is the inverse (opposite) of the performance of the NASDAQ-100 Index® (the “underlying index”). The Fund does not seek to achieve its investment objective over a period of time greater than one day.
Inception: September 3, 1998
For the one-year period ended March 31, 2011, with the NASDAQ-100 Index up 20.35%, the Inverse NASDAQ-100® Fund Investor Class returned -20.90% over the same time period. For the same one-year period, Inverse NASDAQ-100® Fund maintained a daily correlation of over 99% to its benchmark of -100% of the daily price movement of the NASDAQ-100 Index.
Information Technology (14.09%) and Consumer Discretionary (4.04%) contributed most to the performance of the index during the year, while Consumer Staples (0.33%), Materials (0.09%) and Health Care (-0.02%) contributed the least to or detracted from performance of the index.
Apple, Inc., QUALCOMM, Inc. and Baidu, Inc. were among the stocks which provided the most performance to the index, while Cisco Systems, Inc., Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. and Research In Motion Ltd. were among the stocks which provided the least performance to the index during the year.
Derivatives in the Fund were used to help provide exposure to the composition of the benchmark in the highest efficient manner and not for hedging purposes. The results of derivatives use during the period were within our expectations and contributed to the fund’s performance.
Due to the compounding of daily returns, leveraged and inverse funds’ returns over periods other than one day will likely differ in amount and possibly direction from the benchmark return for the same period. Investors should monitor their leveraged and inverse funds’ holdings to ensure that they are consistent with their strategies, as frequently as daily.
The effects of compounding may cause the longer-term correlation of the fund to its benchmark to diminish. The apparent discrepancy between the leveraged and unleveraged indices is the result of compounding, which is described briefly on page 4 of this report.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.
Holdings Diversification (Market Exposure as % of Net Assets)
“Holdings Diversification (Market Exposure as % of Net Assets)” excludes any temporary cash investments.

The returns presented above do not reflect the effects of taxes. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The NASDAQ-100 Index is an unmanaged stock index and, unlike the Fund, has no management fees or other operating expenses to reduce its reported returns. Returns are historical and include changes in principal and reinvested dividends and capital gains. The graphs are based on Investor Class shares and A-Class shares only; performance for Advisor Class shares and C-Class shares will vary due to differences in fee structures.

PERFRMANCE REPORT AND FUND PROFILE (Unaudited) | | March 31, 2011 |
MID-CAP 1.5x STRATEGY FUND
OBJECTIVE: To provide investment results that correlate to the performance of a specific benchmark for midcap securities on a daily basis. The Fund’s current benchmark is 150% of the S&P MidCap 400® Index (the “underlying index”). The Fund does not seek to achieve its investment objective over a period of time greater than one day.
Inception: August 16, 2001
For the year ended March 31, 2011, the Mid-Cap 1.5x Strategy Fund H-Class returned 38.04%. Over the year, its benchmark, the S&P MidCap 400 Index turned in a 26.95% return. The Fund had a correlation of more than 99% to its benchmark of 150% of the daily price movement of the S&P MidCap 400 Index.
Information Technology (5.86%), Industrials (5.23%) and Consumer Discretionary (3.41%) provided the most performance to the index during the year. Telecommunication Services (0.10%) and Consumer Staples (1.18%) were the smallest contributors to performance.
F5 Networks, Inc., Netflix, Inc. and Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. — Class A were among the stocks which provided the most performance to the index during the year. Cree, Inc., Strayer Education, Inc. and ITT Educational Services, Inc. were among the stocks which provided the least performance to the index during the year.
Derivatives in the Fund were used to help provide exposure to the composition of the benchmark in the highest efficient manner and to provide leverage, not for hedging purposes. The results of derivatives use during the period were within our expectations and contributed to the Fund’s performance.
Due to the compounding of daily returns, leveraged and inverse funds’ returns over periods other than one day will likely differ in amount and possibly direction from the benchmark return for the same period. Investors should monitor their leveraged and inverse funds’ holdings to ensure that they are consistent with their strategies, as frequently as daily.
The effects of compounding may cause the longer-term correlation of the fund to its benchmark to diminish. The apparent discrepancy between the leveraged and unleveraged indices is the result of compounding, which is described briefly on page 4 of this report.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.

PERFORMANCE REPORT AND FUND PROFILE (Unaudited) | | March 31, 2011 |
|
INVERSE MID-CAP STRATEGY FUND | | |
OBJECTIVE: To provide investment results that match the performance of a specific benchmark on a daily basis. The Fund’s current benchmark is the inverse (opposite) of the performance of the S&P MidCap 400® Index (the “underlying index”). The Fund does not seek to achieve its investment objective over a period of time greater than one day.
Inception: February 20, 2004
For the year ended March 31, 2011, Inverse Mid-Cap Strategy Fund H-Class returned -25.56%. Over the year, its benchmark, the S&P MidCap 400 Index turned in a 26.95% return. Inverse Mid-Cap Strategy Fund achieved a daily correlation of 99% to its benchmark of -100% of the daily price movement of the S&P MidCap 400 Index.
Information Technology (5.86%), Industrials (5.23%) and Consumer Discretionary (3.41%) provided the most performance to the index during the year. Telecommunication Services (0.10%) and Consumer Staples (1.18%) were the smallest contributors to performance.
F5 Networks, Inc., Netflix, Inc. and Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. — Class A were among the stocks which provided the most performance to the index during the year. Cree, Inc., Strayer Education, Inc. and ITT Educational Services, Inc. were among the stocks which provided the least performance to the index during the year.
Derivatives in the Fund were used to help provide exposure to the composition of the benchmark in the highest efficient manner and not for hedging purposes. The results of derivatives use during the period were within our expectations and contributed to the Fund’s performance.
Due to the compounding of daily returns, leveraged and inverse funds’ returns over periods other than one day will likely differ in amount and possibly direction from the benchmark return for the same period. Investors should monitor their leveraged and inverse funds’ holdings to ensure that they are consistent with their strategies, as frequently as daily.
The effects of compounding may cause the longer-term correlation of the fund to its benchmark to diminish. The apparent discrepancy between the leveraged and unleveraged indices is the result of compounding, which is described briefly on page 4 of this report.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.
Holdings Diversification (Market Exposure as % of Net Assets)
“Holdings Diversification (Market Exposure as % of Net Assets)” excludes any temporary cash investments.

The returns presented above do not reflect the effects of taxes. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

The graphs are based on A-Class shares and H-Class shares only; performance for C-Class shares will vary due to differences in fee structures.

Riverbed Technology, Inc., VeriFone Systems, Inc. and TIBCO Software, Inc. were among the stocks which provided the most performance to the index during the year. Corinthian Colleges, Inc., Human Genome Sciences, Inc. and TiVo, Inc. were among the stocks which provided the least performance to the index during the year.
Derivatives in the Fund were used to help provide exposure to the composition of the benchmark in the highest efficient manner and to provide leverage, not for hedging purposes. The results of derivatives use during the period were within our expectations and contributed to the Fund’s performance.
Due to the compounding of daily returns, leveraged and inverse funds’ returns over periods other than one day will likely differ in amount and possibly direction from the benchmark return for the same period. Investors should monitor their leveraged and inverse funds’ holdings to ensure that they are consistent with their strategies, as frequently as daily.
The effects of compounding may cause the longer-term correlation of the fund to its benchmark to diminish. The apparent discrepancy between the leveraged and unleveraged indices is the result of compounding, which is described briefly on page 4 of this report.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.

The graphs are based on A-Class shares and H-Class shares only; performance for C-Class shares will vary due to differences in fee structures.

RUSSELL 2000® FUND
OBJECTIVE: To provide investment results that match the performance of a specific benchmark on a daily basis. The Fund’s current benchmark is the Russell 2000 Index (the “underlying index”).
Inception: May 31, 2006
Russell 2000® Fund H-Class turned in a 24.32% performance for the one-year period ended March 31, 2011. Its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index, was up 25.80% for the period. Russell 2000® Fund maintained a daily correlation of over 99% to its benchmark of the daily price movement of the Russell 2000 Index.
The biggest performance contributors to the index during the period were Information Technology (7.78%), Industrials (4.49%) and Energy (3.21%). Telecommunication Services (0.29%), Consumer Staples (0.55%) and Utilities (0.69%) provided the least performance to the index during the year.
Riverbed Technology, Inc., VeriFone Systems, Inc. and TIBCO Software, Inc. were among the stocks which provided the most performance to the index during the year. Corinthian Colleges, Inc., Human Genome Sciences, Inc. and TiVo, Inc. were among the stocks which provided the least performance to the index during the year.

For the one-year period ended March 31, 2011, Inverse Russell 2000® Strategy Fund maintained a daily correlation of over 99% to its benchmark of -100% of the daily price movement of the Russell 2000 Index. Inverse Russell 2000® Strategy Fund H-Class returned -26.73% while the Russell 2000 Index returned 25.80% over the same period.
The biggest performance contributors to the index during the period were Information Technology (7.78%), Industrials (4.49%) and Energy (3.21%). Telecommunication Services (0.29%), Consumer Staples (0.55%) and Utilities (0.69%) provided the least performance to the index during the year.
Riverbed Technology, Inc., VeriFone Systems, Inc. and TIBCO Software, Inc. were among the stocks which provided the most performance to the index during the year. Corinthian Colleges, Inc., Human Genome Sciences, Inc. and TiVo, Inc. were among the stocks which provided the least performance to the index during the year.
Derivatives in the Fund were used to help provide exposure to the composition of the benchmark in the highest efficient manner and not for hedging purposes. The results of derivatives use during the period were within our expectations and contributed to the Fund’s performance.
Due to the compounding of daily returns, leveraged and inverse funds’ returns over periods other than one day will likely differ in amount and possibly direction from the benchmark return for the same period. Investors should monitor their leveraged and inverse funds’ holdings to ensure that they are consistent with their strategies, as frequently as daily.
The effects of compounding may cause the longer-term correlation of the fund to its benchmark to diminish. The apparent discrepancy between the leveraged and unleveraged indices is the result of compounding, which is described briefly on page 4 of this report.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.

PERFORMANCE REPORT AND FUND PROFILE (Unaudited) | | March 31, 2011 |
EUROPE 1.25x STRATEGY FUND
OBJECTIVE: To provide investment results that correlate to the performance of a specific benchmark. The Fund’s current benchmark is 125% of the fair value of the STOXX 50® Index (the “underlying index”).
Inception: May 8, 2000
For the one-year period ended March 31, 2011, Europe 1.25x Strategy Fund maintained a daily correlation of over 98% to its benchmark of 125% of the daily price movement of the STOXX 50 Index. Europe 1.25x Strategy Fund H-Class returned -0.99% while the STOXX 50 Index returned 6.28% over the same period.
The EURO STOXX 50 tracks some of the largest companies in Europe. The Fund’s return, expressed in dollar terms, was impacted by the approximately 5% rise of the euro against the dollar during the period.
The Telecommunication Services sector contributed the most to performance, 1.93%. The Consumer Staples sector contributed 1.77% to return. Sectors detracting from performance were Utilities, Financials and Information Technology, which returned -0.72%, -0.30% and -0.20%, respectively.
Vodafone Group plc and Siemens AG contributed most to index performance, while BP plc and Nokia Oyj detracted from performance.
Derivatives in the Fund were used to help provide exposure to the composition of the benchmark in the highest efficient manner and to provide leverage, not for hedging purposes. The results of derivatives use during the period were within our expectations and contributed to the Fund’s performance.
Due to the compounding of daily returns, leveraged and inverse funds’ returns over periods other than one day will likely differ in amount and possibly direction from the benchmark return for the same period. Investors should monitor their leveraged and inverse funds’ holdings to ensure that they are consistent with their strategies, as frequently as daily.
The effects of compounding may cause the longer-term correlation of the fund to its benchmark to diminish. The apparent discrepancy between the leveraged and unleveraged indices is the result of compounding, which is described briefly on page 4 of this report.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.
Holdings Diversification (Market Exposure as % of Net Assets)
“Holdings Diversification (Market Exposure as % of Net Assets)” excludes any temporary cash investments.

The graphs are based on A-Class shares and H-Class shares only; performance for C-Class shares will vary due to differences in fee structures.

PERFORMANCE REPORT AND FUND PROFILE (Unaudited) | | March 31, 2011 |
JAPAN 2x STRATEGY FUND
OBJECTIVE: To provide investment results that correlate to the performance of a specific benchmark. The Fund’s current benchmark is 200% of the fair value of the Nikkei-225 Stock Average Index (the “underlying index”).
Inception: February 22, 2008
For the one-year period ended March 31, 2011, Japan 2x Strategy Fund maintained a daily correlation of over 99% to its benchmark of 200% of the daily price movement of the fair value of the Nikkei-225 Stock Average Index. Japan 2x Strategy Fund H-Class returned -9.10% while the Nikkei-225 Stock Average Index returned 1.08% over the same time period.
Sectors contributing the most to performance were Industrials (2.33%) and Telecommunication Services (0.41%). Several sectors detracted from performance. Those with the largest negative impact on the portfolio were Consumer Discretionary (-1.22%) and Financials (-0.35%).
Contributors to performance were led by Fanuc Corp. and Softbank Corp., while detractors were Fast Retailing Co. Ltd. and Advantest Corp.
The Fund’s return, expressed in dollar terms, was impacted by the approximately 14% rise of the yen against the dollar during the period.
Derivatives in the Fund were used to help provide exposure to the composition of the benchmark in the highest efficient manner and to provide leverage, not for hedging purposes. The results of derivatives use during the period were within our expectations and contributed to the Fund’s performance.
Due to the compounding of daily returns, leveraged and inverse funds’ returns over periods other than one day will likely differ in amount and possibly direction from the benchmark return for the same period. Investors should monitor their leveraged and inverse funds’ holdings to ensure that they are consistent with their strategies, as frequently as daily.
The effects of compounding may cause the longer-term correlation of the fund to its benchmark to diminish. The apparent discrepancy between the leveraged and unleveraged indices is the result of compounding, which is described briefly on page 4 of this report.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.

“Holdings Diversification (Market Exposure as % of Net Assets)” excludes any temporary cash investments.

The returns presented above do not reflect the effects of taxes. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Returns are historical and include changes in principal and reinvested dividends and capital gains. The graphs are based on A-Class shares and H-Class shares only; performance for C-Class shares will vary due to differences in fee structures.

PERFORMANCE REPORT AND FUND PROFILE (Unaudited) March 31, 2011
STRENGTHENING DOLLAR 2x STRATEGY FUND
OBJECTIVE: To provide investment results that match the performance of a specific benchmark on a daily basis. The Fund’s current benchmark is 200% of the performance of the U.S. Dollar Index® (the “underlying index”). The Fund does not seek to achieve its investment objective over a period of time greater than one day.
Inception: May 25, 2005
For the one-year period ended March 31, 2011, Strengthening Dollar 2x Strategy Fund maintained a daily correlation of over 99% to its benchmark of 200% of the daily price movement of the U.S. Dollar Index. Strengthening Dollar 2x Strategy Fund H-Class returned -17.84%, compared with -6.43% return for its benchmark, the U.S. Dollar Index.
The U.S. Dollar Index spiked to its trailing 12-month high in mid-2010 over concerns about European sovereign debt and fears of a slow global economic recovery. It began to fall back in the last half of the year as the U.S. Federal Reserve pumped money into the economy via low rates and a second round of quantitative easing designed to help the U.S. economy gain traction. There was also another round of fiscal stimulus in the December tax cuts.
At year end, the dollar had advanced against the euro and pound, both suffering from their own versions of economic and fiscal woes, but fallen against the yen and Swiss franc.
The dollar’s rally against the euro did not carry over into the first quarter of 2011, even though the Mid East was in turmoil, a nuclear crisis overtook Japan and Portugal was pointing toward default. In fact, the dollar in the first quarter of 2011 lost out to many currency counterparts around the world, gaining only slightly against the yen. Since the trade-weighted index for the U.S. dollar peaked last summer, it has fallen 15%, as investors seemed to fear the deleterious effects of continuous Fed easing.
Derivatives in the Fund were used to help provide exposure to the composition of the benchmark in the highest efficient manner and to provide leverage, not for hedging purposes. The results of derivatives use during the period were within our expectations and contributed to the Fund’s performance.
Due to the compounding of daily returns, leveraged and inverse funds’ returns over periods other than one day will likely differ in amount and possibly direction from the benchmark return for the same period. Investors should monitor their leveraged and inverse funds’ holdings to ensure that they are consistent with their strategies, as frequently as daily.
The effects of compounding may cause the longer-term correlation of the fund to its benchmark to diminish. The apparent discrepancy between the leveraged and unleveraged indices is the result of compounding, which is described briefly on page 4 of this report.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.

“Holdings Diversification (Market Exposure as % of Net Assets)” excludes any temporary cash investments.

PERFORMANCE REPORT AND FUND PROFILE (Unaudited) | | March 31, 2011 |
WEAKENING DOLLAR 2x STRATEGY FUND
OBJECTIVE: To provide investment results that match the performance of a specific benchmark on a daily basis. The Fund’s current benchmark is 200% of the inverse (opposite) of the performance of the U.S. Dollar Index® (the “underlying index”). The Fund does not seek to achieve its investment objective over a period of time greater than one day.
Inception: May 25, 2005
For the one-year period ended March 31, 2011, Weakening Dollar 2x Strategy Fund maintained a daily correlation of over 99% to its benchmark of -200% of the daily price movement of the U.S. Dollar Index. Weakening Dollar 2x Strategy Fund H-Class returned 13.14%, compared with -6.43% return for its benchmark, the U.S. Dollar Index.
The U.S. Dollar Index spiked to its trailing 12-month high in mid-2010 over concerns about European sovereign debt and fears of a slow global economic recovery. It began to fall back in the last half of the year as the U.S. Federal Reserve pumped money into the economy via low rates and a second round of quantitative easing designed to help the U.S. economy gain traction. There was also another round of fiscal stimulus in the December tax cuts.
At year end, the dollar had advanced against the euro and pound, both suffering from their own versions of economic and fiscal woes, but fallen against the yen and Swiss franc.
The dollar’s rally against the euro did not carry over into the first quarter of 2011, even though the Mid East was in turmoil, a nuclear crisis overtook Japan and Portugal was pointing toward default. In fact, the dollar in the first quarter of 2011 lost out to many currency counterparts around the world, gaining only slightly against the yen. Since the trade-weighted index for the U.S. dollar peaked last summer, it has fallen 15%, as investors seemed to fear the deleterious effects of continuous Fed easing.
Derivatives in the Fund were used to help provide exposure to the composition of the benchmark in the highest efficient manner and to provide leverage, not for hedging purposes. The results of derivatives use during the period were within our expectations and contributed to the Fund’s performance.
Due to the compounding of daily returns, leveraged and inverse funds’ returns over periods other than one day will likely differ in amount and possibly direction from the benchmark return for the same period. Investors should monitor their leveraged and inverse funds’ holdings to ensure that they are consistent with their strategies, as frequently as daily.
The effects of compounding may cause the longer-term correlation of the fund to its benchmark to diminish. The apparent discrepancy between the leveraged and unleveraged indices is the result of compounding, which is described briefly on page 4 of this report.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.

PERFORMANCE REPORT AND FUND PROFILE (Unaudited) | | March 31, 2011 |
REAL ESTATE FUND
OBJECTIVE: To provide capital appreciation by investing in companies that are involved in the real estate industry, including real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), (collectively, “Real Estate Companies”).
Inception: February 20, 2004
For the one-year period ended March 31, 2011, Real Estate Fund H-Class returned 22.70%, compared to a gain of 24.28% for the MSCI U.S. REIT Index.
Within the sector, Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), which compose 92% of the portfolio, rose about 25% for the year, contributing almost all of the return. The year was favorable to REITs in that slow, steady economic growth helped set the stage for improvements in occupancy and rents, while also helping non-commercial mortgage delinquencies level off. The industry was also aided by falling 10-year Treasury yields, which pushed capitalization rates lower and supported property valuations.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.
Holdings Diversification (Market Exposure as % of Net Assets)
“Holdings Diversification (Market Exposure as % of Net Assets)” excludes any temporary cash investments.

PERFORMANCE REPORT AND FUND PROFILE (Unaudited) | | March 31, 2011 |
GOVERNMENT LONG BOND 1.2x STRATEGY FUND
OBJECTIVE: To provide investment results that correspond to a benchmark for U.S. Government securities. The Fund’s current benchmark is 120% of the price movement of the Long Treasury Bond. The Long Treasury Bond is the U.S.Treasury bond with the longest maturity, which is currently 30 years. The price movement of the Long Treasury Bond is based on the daily price change of the most recently issued Long Treasury Bond. The Fund does not seek to achieve its investment objective over a period of time greater than one day.
Inception: January 3, 1994
The 30-year Treasury bond ended the 12-month period ended March 31, 2011, with a yield of 5.29%. Treasury yields have been under pressure due to safe-haven buying amid concerns about European debt crisis and the Japanese nuclear power problem. Interest rates have been held near historic lows due to the Fed’s keeping a lid on long-term rates with its $600 billion in quantitative easing that is scheduled to end in June. However, concerns are growing that the gradually improving economy and asset purchases by the Fed could stoke inflation. The stable performance of Treasuries in 2010 and early 2011 helped the Government Long Bond 1.2x Strategy Fund Investor Class close up 7.42% for the 12 months ended March 31, 2011. The Fund maintained a daily correlation of over 99% to its benchmark of 120% of the daily price movement of the Long Treasury Bond.
Derivatives in the Fund are used to provide additional exposure to composition of the benchmark in the highest efficient manner and to provide leverage, not for hedging purposes. The results of derivatives use during the period were within our expectations and contributed to the Fund’s performance.
Due to the compounding of daily returns, leveraged and inverse funds’ returns over periods other than one day will likely differ in amount and possibly direction from the benchmark return for the same period. Investors should monitor their leveraged and inverse funds’ holdings to ensure that they are consistent with their strategies, as frequently as daily.
The effects of compounding may cause the longer-term correlation of the fund to its benchmark to diminish. The apparent discrepancy between the leveraged and unleveraged indices is the result of compounding, which is described briefly on page 4 of this report.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.

The returns presented above do not reflect the effects of taxes. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The Barclays Capital Long Treasury Bond Index is an unmanaged bond index and, unlike the Fund, has no management fees or other operating expenses to reduce its reported return. The price movement of the Long Treasury Bond represents a cumulative percentage change in its closing price. Returns are historical and include changes in principal and reinvested dividends and capital gains. The graphs are based on Investor Class shares and A-Class shares only; performance for Advisor Class shares and C-Class shares will vary due to differences in fee structures.

PERFORMANCE REPORT AND FUND PROFILE (Unaudited) | | March 31, 2011 |
INVERSE GOVERNMENT LONG BOND STRATEGY FUND
OBJECTIVE: To provide total returns that inversely correlate to the price movements of a benchmark for U.S. Treasury debt instruments or futures contract on a specified debt instrument. The Fund’s current benchmark is the inverse (opposite) of the daily price movement of the Long Treasury Bond. The Long Treasury Bond is the U.S. Treasury bond with the longest maturity, which is currently 30 years. The price movement of the Long Treasury Bond is based on the daily price change of the most recently issued Long Treasury Bond. The Fund does not seek to achieve its investment objective over a period of time greater than one day.
Inception: March 3, 1995
The 30-year Treasury bond ended the 12-month period ended March 31, 2011, with a yield of 5.29%. Treasury yields have been under pressure due to safe-haven buying amid concerns about European debt crisis and the Japanese nuclear power problem. Interest rates have been held near historic lows due to the Fed’s keeping a lid on long-term rates with its $600 billion in quantitative easing that is scheduled to end in June. However, concerns are growing that the gradually improving economy and asset purchases by the Fed could stoke inflation. The Inverse Government Long Bond Strategy Fund Investor Class closed down -10.72% for the 12 months ended March 31, 2011. The Fund maintained a daily correlation of over 99% to its benchmark of -100% of the daily price movement of the Long Treasury Bond.
Derivatives in the Fund are used to help provide exposure to the composition of the benchmark in the highest efficient manner not for hedging purposes. The results of derivatives use during the period were within our expectations and contributed to the Fund’s performance.
Due to the compounding of daily returns, leveraged and inverse funds’ returns over periods other than one day will likely differ in amount and possibly direction from the benchmark return for the same period. Investors should monitor their leveraged and inverse funds’ holdings to ensure that they are consistent with their strategies, as frequently as daily.
The effects of compounding may cause the longer-term correlation of the fund to its benchmark to diminish. The apparent discrepancy between the leveraged and unleveraged indices is the result of compounding, which is described briefly on page 4 of this report.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.

The returns presented above do not reflect the effects of taxes. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The Barclays Capital Long Treasury Bond Index is an unmanaged bond index and, unlike the Fund, has no management fees or other operating expenses to reduce its reported return. The price movement of the Long Treasury Bond represents a cumulative percentage change in its closing price. Returns are historical and include changes in principal and reinvested dividends and capital gains. The graphs are based on Investor Class shares and A-Class shares only; performance for Advisor Class shares and C-Class shares will vary due to differences in fee structures.

PERFORMANCE REPORT AND FUND PROFILE (Unaudited) | | March 31, 2011 |
HIGH YIELD STRATEGY FUND
OBJECTIVE: To provide investment results that correlate to the performance of the high yield bond market.
Inception: April 16, 2007
The high yield market had another 12 months of strong returns, as credit spreads continued to tighten. This tightening has occurred in spite of events that could weigh heavily on credit markets, such as global market uncertainty and extensive M&A activity. Spread compression, along with Treasury yields that are only modestly higher, has produced decent performance in the high yield space for the early part of 2011. The sector is expected to continue to outperform other fixed income segments, due its short-duration bias in the face of potentially rising rates. Spread compression is expected to occur at a much slower rate for the rest of 2011. Default rates continue to trend downward.
High Yield Strategy Fund H-Class returned 15.29% for the year ended March 31, 2011, as opposed to its index, the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Index, which returned 14.31%.
Derivatives in the Fund are used to help provide exposure to the composition of the benchmark in the highest efficient manner, not for hedging purposes. The results of derivatives use during the period were within our expectations and contributed to the Fund’s performance.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.

Returns are historical and include changes in principal and reinvested dividends and capital gains. The graphs are based on A-Class shares and H-Class shares only; performance for C-Class shares will vary due to differences in fee structures.

PERFORMANCE REPORT AND FUND PROFILE (Unaudited) | | March 31, 2011 |
INVERSE HIGH YIELD STRATEGY FUND
OBJECTIVE: To provide investment results that inversely correlate to the performance of the high yield bond market.
Inception: April 16, 2007
The high yield market had another 12 months of strong returns, as credit spreads continued to tighten. This tightening has occurred in spite of events that could weigh heavily on credit markets, such as global market uncertainty and extensive M&A activity. Spread compression, along with Treasury yields that are only modestly higher, has produced decent performance in the high yield space for the early part of 2011. The sector is expected to continue to outperform other fixed income segments, due its short-duration bias in the face of potentially rising rates. Spread compression is expected to occur at a much slower rate for the rest of 2011. Default rates continue to trend downward.
Inverse High Yield Strategy Fund H-Class returned -16.99% for the year ended March 31, 2011, as opposed to its index, the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Index, which returned 14.31%.
Inverse High Yield Strategy Fund maintained a daily correlation of over 99% to its benchmark of -100% of the daily price movement of the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Index during this period.
Derivatives in the Fund are used to help provide exposure to the composition of the benchmark in the highest efficient manner, not for hedging purposes. The results of derivatives use during the period were within our expectations and contributed to the Fund’s performance.
Due to the compounding of daily returns, leveraged and inverse funds’ returns over periods other than one day will likely differ in amount and possibly direction from the benchmark return for the same period. Investors should monitor their leveraged and inverse funds’ holdings to ensure that they are consistent with their strategies, as frequently as daily.
The effects of compounding may cause the longer-term correlation of the fund to its benchmark to diminish. The apparent discrepancy between the leveraged and unleveraged indices is the result of compounding, which is described briefly on page 4 of this report.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.

PERFORMANCE REPORT AND FUND PROFILE (Unaudited) | | March 31, 2011 |
U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET FUND
OBJECTIVE: To provide security of principal, high current income, and liquidity.
Inception: December 1, 1993
For the 12 months ended March 31, 2011, U.S. Government Money Market Fund Investor Class had a total return of 0.01%. Money market yields continued to languish in the low-interest rate environment maintained by the Fed, which has continued to keep short-term rates at 0.0% to 0.25%. Hundreds of billions of dollars have moved out of money market funds in the past year in search of better yields. The President’s Working Group on Financial Markets released a report detailing a number of options for reforms related to money market funds in October, which were designed to address the vulnerabilities of money market funds that contributed to the financial crisis in 2008. The Securities and Exchange Commission called for reforms, now in place, to mitigate the systemic risk associated with money market funds and reduce their susceptibility to runs.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies Organization
The Rydex Series Funds (the “Trust”) is registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) as a non-diversified, open-ended investment company. The Trust offers eight separate classes of shares, Investor Class shares, Investor2 Class shares, Advisor Class shares, A-Class shares, C-Class shares, H-Class shares, Institutional shares, and Y-Class shares. C-Class shares have a 1% CDSC if shares are redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Sales of shares of each Class are made without a front-end sales charge at the net asset value (the “NAV”), with the exception of A-Class shares. A-Class shares are sold at the NAV, plus the applicable front-end sales charge, except for the U.S. Government Money Market Fund. The sales charge varies depending on the amount purchased, but will not exceed 4.75%. A-Class share purchases of $1 million or more are exempt from the front-end sales charge but have a 1% CDSC if shares are redeemed within 12 months of purchase.
At March 31, 2011, the Trust consisted of fifty-eight separate Funds. This report covers the Target Beta and the Money Market Funds (the “Funds”), while the other Funds are contained in separate reports.
Security Global Investors (“SGI”) provides advisory services and Rydex Fund Services, LLC (“RFS”) provides transfer agent, administrative, and accounting services to the Trust. Rydex Distributors, LLC (“RDL”) acts as principal underwriter for the Trust. SGI, RFS and RDL are affiliated entities.
Significant Accounting Policies
The following significant accounting policies and the preparation of financial statements are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and are consistently followed by the Trust. This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The information contained in these notes may not apply to every Fund in the Trust. All time references are based on Eastern Time.
A. The Trust calculates a NAV twice each business day, first in the morning and again in the afternoon for the Russell 2000® Fund and the S&P 500 Fund. All other Funds in the Trust will price at the afternoon NAV. The morning NAV is calculated at 10:45 a.m. and the afternoon NAV is calculated at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), usually 4:00 p.m. The NAV is calculated using the current market value of each Fund’s total assets as of the respective time of calculation. These financial statements are based on the March 31, 2011, afternoon NAV.
Equity securities listed on an exchange (NYSE or American Stock Exchange) are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the close of business on the NYSE on the valuation date. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ market system are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price on the valuation date.
The value of futures contracts purchased and sold by the Trust is accounted for using the unrealized gain or loss on the contracts that is determined by marking the contracts to their current settlement prices. Financial futures contracts are valued at the 4:00 p.m. price on the valuation date. In the event that the exchange for a specific futures contract closes earlier than 4:00 p.m., the futures contract is valued at the Official Settlement Price of the exchange. However, the underlying securities from which the futures contract value is derived are monitored until 4:00 p.m. to determine if fair valuation would provide a more accurate valuation.
The U.S. Government Money Market Fund values debt securities at amortized cost pursuant to Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, which approximates market value.
Debt securities in a non 2a-7 money market fund with a maturity greater than 60 days at the time of purchase are valued at the last traded fill price at the close of business, unless no trades were executed. If there are no trades, a debt security is valued at the reported bid price, at the close of business. Short term debt securities with a maturity of 60 days or less at the time of purchase and repurchase agreements are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
Open-end investment companies (“Mutual Funds”) are valued at their NAV as of the close of business on the valuation date. Exchange Traded Funds (“ETFs”) and closed-end investment companies are valued at the last quoted sales price.
The value of domestic equity index and credit default swap agreements entered into by a Fund is accounted for using the unrealized gain or loss on the agreements that is determined by marking the agreements to the last quoted value of the index that the swap pertains to at the close of the NYSE. The swap’s market value is then adjusted to include dividends accrued, financing charges and/or interest associated with the swap agreements.
The value of currency index swap agreements entered into by a Fund is accounted for using the unrealized gain or loss on the agreements that is determined by marking the agreements to the broker quote.
The value of foreign equity swap agreements entered into by a Fund is accounted for using the unrealized gain or loss on the agreements that is determined by
the RYDEX | SGI series funds annual report | 267
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
marking the agreements to the price at which orders are being filled at the close of the NYSE. In the event that no order is filled at 4:00 p.m., the security dealer provides a fair value quote at which the swap agreement is valued. The swap’s market value is then adjusted to include dividends accrued, financing charges and/or interest associated with the swap agreements.
Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued as determined in good faith by SGI under the direction of the Board of Trustees using methods established or ratified by the Board of Trustees. These methods include, but are not limited to: (i) general information as to how these securities and assets trade; (ii) in connection with futures contracts and options thereupon, and other derivative investments, information as to how (a) these contracts and other derivative investments trade in the futures or other derivative markets, respectively, and (b) the securities underlying these contracts and other derivative investments trade in the cash market; and (iii) other information and considerations, including current values in related markets.
B. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded using the identified cost basis. Proceeds from lawsuits related to investment holdings are recorded as realized gains in the respective Fund. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of applicable taxes withheld by foreign countries. Taxable non-cash dividends are recorded as dividend income. Interest income, including amortization of premiums and accretion of discount, is accrued on a daily basis. Distributions received from investments in REITs are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distribution by the issuer.
C. Net investment income is computed and dividends are declared daily in the Government Long Bond 1.2x Strategy Fund and the U.S. Government Money Market Fund. Income dividends in these Funds are accrued daily. Dividends are reinvested in additional shares unless shareholders request payment in cash. Distributions of net investment income in the remaining Funds and distributions of net realized gains, if any, in all Funds are declared at least annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
D. When a Fund engages in a short sale of a security, an amount equal to the proceeds is reflected as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the market value of the short sale. The Fund maintains a segregated account of cash and/or securities as collateral for short sales. Fees, if any, paid to brokers to borrow securities in connection with short sales are recorded as interest expense. In addition, the Fund must pay out the dividend rate of the equity or coupon rate of the treasury obligation to the lender and record this as an expense. Short dividends or interest expense is a cost associated with the investment objective of short sales transactions, rather than an operational cost associated with the day-to-day management of any mutual fund. The Funds may also receive rebate income from the broker resulting from the investment of the proceeds from securities sold short.
E. Certain Funds entered into stock, bond and currency index futures contracts. Futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities at a specified future delivery date and at a specific price. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund deposits and maintains as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is affected. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

F. Certain Funds entered into domestic equity index and domestic currency index swap agreements, which are over-the-counter contracts in which one party agrees to make periodic payments based on the change in market value of a specified equity security, basket of equity securities, equity index or domestic currency index, in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate or the change in market value of a different equity security, basket of equity securities, equity index or domestic currency index. Swap agreements are used to obtain exposure to an equity or market without owning or taking physical custody of securities. The swap agreements are marked-to-market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss. Payments received or made as a result of an agreement or termination of the agreement are recognized as realized gains or losses.

The High Yield Strategy Fund and Inverse High Yield Strategy Fund enter into credit default swap agreements where one party, the protection buyer, makes an upfront or periodic payment to a counterparty, the protection seller, in exchange for the right to receive a contingent payment. The maximum amount of the payment may equal the notional amount, at par, of the underlying index or security as a result of a related credit event. Upfront payments received or made by a Fund, are amortized over the expected life of the agreement. Periodic payments received or paid by a Fund are recorded as realized gains or losses. The credit default swap contracts are marked-to-market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss. Payments received or made as a result of a credit event or termination of the contract are recognized, net of a proportional amount of the upfront payment, as realized gains or losses.
G. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Trust does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain and loss from investments.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies and currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on investment transactions. Net unrealized exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at the fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
H. The Funds may leave cash overnight in their cash account with the custodian, U.S. Bank. Periodically, a Fund may have cash due to the custodian bank as an overdraft balance. A fee is incurred on this overdraft, calculated by multiplying the overdraft by a rate based on the federal funds rate. Segregated cash with the broker is held as collateral for investments in derivative instruments such as futures contracts and index swap agreements.
I. Interest and dividend income, most expenses, all realized gains and losses, and all unrealized gains and losses are allocated to the Classes based upon the value of the outstanding shares in each Class. Certain costs, such as distribution fees relating to A-Class shares and H-Class shares and service and distribution fees related to Advisor Class shares and C-Class shares, are charged directly to specific Classes. In addition, certain expenses have been allocated to the individual Funds in the Trust on a pro rata basis upon the respective aggregate net assets of each Fund included in the Trust.
J. Throughout the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds and/or their affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
2. Financial Instruments
As part of its investment strategy, the Funds utilize short sales and a variety of derivative instruments, including futures, and swap agreements. These investments involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk and risks in excess of the amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
A short sale is a transaction in which a Fund sells a security it does not own. If the security sold short decreases in price between the time the Fund sells the security and closes its short position, that Fund will realize gain on the transaction. Conversely, if the security increases in price during the period, that Fund will realize a loss on the transaction. The risk of such price increases is the principal risk of engaging in short sales.
There are several risks in connection with the use of futures contracts. Risks may be caused by an imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the instruments and the price of the underlying securities. In addition, there is the risk that a Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market.
There are several risks associated with the use of swap agreements that are different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions, due to the fact they could be considered illiquid. Although the Trust will not enter into any swap agreement unless SGI believes that the other party to the transaction is creditworthy, the Funds bear the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of the agreement counterparty.
There are several risks associated with credit default swaps. Credit default swaps involve the exchange of a fixed-rate premium for protection against the loss in value of an underlying debt instrument in the event of a defined credit event (such as payment default or bankruptcy). Under the terms of the swap, one party acts as a “guarantor,” receiving a periodic payment that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional principal amount. In return, the party agrees to purchase the notional amount of the underlying instrument, at par, if a credit event occurs during the term of the swap. A Fund may enter into credit default swaps in which that Fund or its counterparty acts as guarantor. By acting as the guarantor of a swap, that Fund assumes the market and credit risk of the underlying instrument, including liquidity and loss of value.
In conjunction with the use of short sales, options, futures, options on futures and swap agreements, the Funds are required to maintain collateral in various forms. The Funds use, where appropriate, depending on the financial instrument utilized and the broker involved, margin deposits at the broker, cash and/or securities segregated at the custodian bank, discount notes, or the repurchase agreements allocated to each Fund.
The risks inherent in the use of short sales, futures contracts, and swap agreements, include i) adverse changes in the value of such instruments; ii) imperfect correlation between the price of the instruments and movements in the price of the underlying securities, indices, or futures contracts; iii) the possible absence of a liquid secondary market for any particular instrument at any time; and iv) the potential of counterparty default. The Trust has established counterparty credit guidelines and enters into transactions only with financial institutions of investment grade or better. The Trust monitors the counterparty credit risk.
3. Disclosures about Credit Derivatives
In accordance with its principal investment strategy, the High Yield Strategy Fund enters into credit default swaps as a seller of protection primarily to gain exposure similar to the high yield bond market. Credit default swaps are instruments which allow for the full or partial transfer of third party credit risk, with respect to a particular entity or entities, from one counterparty to the other. A seller of credit default swaps is selling credit protection or assuming credit risk with respect to the underlying entity or entities. If a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of the swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. The Notional Principal reflects the maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to make as a seller of credit protection if a credit event occurs. As the seller of protection, the Fund receives periodic premium payments from the counterparty and may also receive or pay an upfront premium that serves as an adjustment to the stated periodic premium. In the event a credit event occurs, an adjustment will be made to any upfront premiums that were received by a reduction of 1.00% per credit event.
The quoted market prices and resulting market values for credit default swap agreements on securities and credit indices serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit derivative had the notional amount of the swap agreement been closed/sold as of the period end. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap,

represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.
The table on page 244 included in the Schedule of Investments summarizes the information with regard to sold protection on credit default swap contracts as of March 31, 2011.
4. Derivative Investment Holdings Categorized by Risk Exposure
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires disclosures to enable investors to better understand how and why the Funds use derivative instruments, how these derivatives 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.
During the year ended March 31, 2011, certain Funds sought to gain exposure to their respective benchmarks by investing in currency and financial-linked derivative instruments, including swap agreements and futures. The following table represents the notional amount of derivative instruments outstanding, as an approximate percentage of the Funds’ net assets on a daily basis, while the risk to the Fund is limited to the profit earned on such derivatives.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Under the terms of an investment advisory contract, the Trust pays SGI investment advisory fees calculated at an annualized rate of 0.50% of the average daily net assets of the Government Long Bond 1.2x Strategy Fund and U.S. Government Money Market Fund; 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Nova Fund, S&P 500 Fund, NASDAQ-100® Fund, Russell 2000® Fund, S&P 500 Pure Growth Fund, S&P 500 Pure Value Fund, S&P MidCap 400 Pure Growth Fund, S&P MidCap 400 Pure Value Fund, S&P SmallCap 600 Pure Growth Fund, S&P SmallCap 600 Pure Value Fund, Japan 2x Strategy Fund, High Yield Strategy Fund, and Inverse High Yield Strategy Fund; 0.85% of the average daily net assets of the Real Estate Fund; and 0.90% of the average daily net assets of the remaining Funds covered in this report.
RFS provides transfer agent and administrative services to the Trust for fees calculated at an annualized rate of 0.20% of the average daily net assets of the Government Long Bond 1.2x Strategy Fund and U.S. Government Money Market Fund; and 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the remaining Funds covered in this report.
RFS also provides accounting services to the Trust for fees calculated at an annualized rate of 0.10% on the first $250 million of the average daily net assets, 0.075% on the next $250 million of the average daily net assets, 0.05% on the next $250 million of the average daily net assets, and 0.03% on the average daily net assets over $750 million of each Fund.
RFS engages external service providers to perform other necessary services for the Trust, such as audit related services, legal services, printing and mailing, etc., on a pass-through basis. Such expenses vary from Fund to Fund and are allocated to the Funds based on relative net assets. Organizational and setup costs for new Funds are paid by the Trust.
The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Shareholder Services Plan applicable to Advisor Class shares and a Distribution Plan applicable to A-Class shares and H-Class shares for which RDL and other firms that provide distribution and/or shareholder services (“Service Providers”) may receive compensation. If a Service Provider provides distribution services, the Trust will pay distribution fees to RDL at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of average daily net assets, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. RDL, in turn, will pay the Service Provider out of its fees. RDL may, at its discretion, retain a portion of such payments to compensate itself for distribution services. With regard to Advisor Class shares only, if a Service Provider provides shareholders services, RDL will receive shareholder servicing fees from the Trust at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of average daily net assets. RDL, in turn, will compensate Service Providers for providing such services, while retaining a portion of such payments to compensate itself for shareholder services it performs.
The Trust has adopted a separate Distribution and Shareholder Services Plan applicable to its C-Class shares that allows the Funds to pay annual distribution and service fees of 1.00% of the Funds’ C-Class shares average daily net assets. The annual 0.25% service fee compensates the shareholder’s financial advisor for providing ongoing services to the shareholder. The annual 0.75% distribution fee reimburses RDL for paying the shareholder’s financial advisor an ongoing sales commission. RDL advances the first year’s service and distribution fees to the Financial Advisor. RDL retains the service and distribution fees on accounts with no authorized dealer of record.
SGI and its affiliates have voluntarily agreed to waive their fees, including but not limited to 12b-1, shareholder services and investment advisory fees, in an attempt to maintain a positive net yield for the U.S. Government Money Market Fund. SGI or its affiliates may terminate this voluntary waiver at any time upon notice to the Fund. When 12b-1 and shareholder services fees are waived, dealer compensation will be reduced to the extent of such waiver.
During the year ended March 31, 2011, RDL retained sales charges of $606,415 relating to sales of A-Class shares of the Trust.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also officers of SGI, RFS and RDL.
6. Federal Income Tax Information
The Funds intend to comply with the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and will distribute substantially all net investment income and capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax provision has been recorded.
Tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns are evaluated to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on Federal income tax returns for all open tax years (fiscal years 2008 — 2011), and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements.
274 | the RYDEX | SGI series funds annual report
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for derivatives, foreign currency transactions, losses deferred due to wash sales, losses deferred due to post-October losses, and excise tax regulations.
Permanent book and tax basis differences, if any, will result in reclassifications. This may include net operating losses not utilized during the current period and the expiration of capital loss carryforward.

7. Repurchase Agreements
The Funds transfer uninvested cash balances into a single joint account, the daily aggregate balance of which is invested in one or more repurchase agreements collateralized by obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government Agencies. The collateral is in the possession of the Funds’ custodian and is evaluated to ensure that its market value exceeds, at a minimum, 102% of the original face amount of the repurchase agreements. Each Fund holds a pro rata share of the collateral based on the dollar amount of the repurchase agreement entered into by each Fund.

In the event of counterparty default, the Funds have the right to collect the collateral to offset losses incurred. There is potential loss to the Funds in the event the Funds are delayed or prevented from exercising their rights to dispose of the collateral securities, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Funds seek to assert their rights. The Funds’ investment advisor, acting under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, reviews the value of the collateral and the creditworthiness of those banks and dealers with which the Funds enter into repurchase agreements to evaluate potential risks.
8. 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 is utilized to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the 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.). |
| | |
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 summarizes the inputs used to value the Funds’ net assets at March 31, 2011:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
The Funds adopted updated provisions surrounding fair value measurements and disclosures effective April 1, 2010. This update applies to the Funds’ disclosures about transfers in and out of all levels of the fair value hierarchy 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 of the 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 roll forward rather than as one net number.
Transfers between investment Levels may occur as the markets fluctuate and/or the availability of data used in an investment’s valuation changes. The Funds recognize transfers between the Levels as of the beginning of the period. During the year ended March 31, 2011, Russell 2000® 1.5x Strategy Fund and Russell 2000® Fund had securities transfer from Level 1 to Level 3 as a result of trading on the security being halted. There were no other securities that transferred between levels.

10. Fund Merger
On July 10, 2009, the U.S. Government Money Market Fund acquired all of the net assets of Security Cash Fund, in exchange for shares of the U.S. Government Money Market Fund Investor2 Class, pursuant to an agreement and plan of reorganization approved by the Board of Trustees and approved by the shareholders of the Security Cash Fund. The primary reason for the transaction was to combine a smaller fund into a larger fund with a similar investment objective. The acquisition was accomplished through a combination of a tax-free exchange of Security Cash Fund shares (62,269,356) valued at $62,269,356 for respective shares of the U.S. Government Money Market Fund Investor2 Class (62,269,356). For financial reporting purposes, the net assets received and shares issued by U.S. Government Money Market Fund Investor2 Class were recorded at fair value.
Security Cash Fund’s net assets on July 10, 2009 were $62,217,692. Security Cash Fund’s net assets were primarily comprised of investments with a fair value of $61,601,061 and other assets and liabilities of $616,631. The aggregate net assets of U.S. Government Money Market Fund immediately before and after the acquisition were $1,788,523,047 and $1,850,740,738, respectively.
The financial statements reflect the operations of the U.S. Government Money Market Fund for the period prior to the acquisition and the combined fund for the period subsequent to the fund merger. Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Security Cash Fund that have been included in the combined fund’s Statement of Operations since the acquisition was completed. Assuming the acquisition had been completed on April 1, 2009, U.S. Government Money Market Fund proforma net investment income (loss), net gain (loss) on investments and net increase (decrease) in net assets from operations for the year ended March 31, 2010 would have been $83,364, $35,221 and $118,585, respectively. SGI and its affiliates bore all of the expenses related to the reorganization.
11. Line of Credit
The Trust has secured an uncommitted, $75,000,000 line of credit with U.S. Bank, N.A. Borrowings, if any, under this arrangement bear interest equal to the Prime Rate, minus 2%, which shall be paid monthly. The maximum loan amount outstanding per Fund should be the lesser of: an amount which, when added to the total of other outstanding loan amounts under this agreement, exceeds the total line of credit, 33 1/3% of a Fund’s net assets, 33 1/3% of a Fund’s assets held by the Custodian or 33 1/3% of the sum of a Fund’s securities on any given day. This line of credit expires on June 15, 2011. As of and for the year ended March 31, 2011, the Funds did not have any borrowings under this agreement.
12. Acquisition of Security Benefit Corporation
Guggenheim SBC Holdings, LLC (“Guggenheim SBC Holdings”), an investor group managed by Guggenheim Partners, LLC (“Guggenheim”), acquired control of Security Benefit Corporation (“SBC”), the parent company of Rydex Advisors, LLC (formerly PADCO Advisors, Inc.), the Funds’ investment advisor (the “Investment Advisor”), pursuant to an agreement entered between SBC and Guggenheim SBC Holdings. Under the agreement, Guggenheim SBC Holdings received a 100% ownership stake in SBC and consequently acquired control of the Investment Advisor (the “Purchase Transaction”). Guggenheim is a global, independent, privately held, diversified financial services firm with more than $100 billion in assets under supervision. The Purchase Transaction did not result in material changes to the day-to-day management and operations of the Funds or any increase in fees. The Purchase Transaction closed on July 30, 2010.
282 | the RYDEX | SGI series funds annual report
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the closing of the Purchase Transaction had the effect of terminating the Funds’ investment advisory agreement with the Investment Advisor (the “Previous Agreement”). A new investment advisory agreement (the “New Agreement”) was approved by Fund shareholders in a series of special meetings of shareholders. The terms of the New Agreement are substantially identical to the Previous Agreement, except with respect to the date of execution.
13. Distributor and Transfer Agent Change
Effective July 30, 2010, the Funds’ Distributor, Rydex Distributors, Inc., a Maryland corporation, became Rydex Distributors, LLC, a Kansas limited liability company, and Rydex Fund Services, Inc., the Funds’ transfer agent, became Rydex Fund Services, LLC, a Kansas limited liability company.
14. Pending Litigation
In March, 2010, an action was filed against PADCO Advisors, Inc. (hereinafter, the “Manager”), Rydex Distributors, Inc. (hereinafter, the “Distributor”), Rydex Series Funds (hereinafter, the “Trust”) and certain trustees and officers of the Trust in federal district court in San Francisco, California. The action seeks class action status on behalf of purchasers of shares in a series of the Trust, the Rydex Inverse Government Long Bond Strategy Fund (the “Fund”) during a particular time period. The action asserts claims under provisions of the federal securities laws, alleging that certain registration statements of the Trust contained negligent misrepresentations and omissions with respect to certain risks associated with investment in the Fund, the suitability of the Fund and differences between performance of the Fund’s shares over time and that of its reference benchmark. The action also asserts a claim seeking to hold the Manager and the individual trustee defendants liable as control persons of the Trust. The action seeks unspecified damages and interest thereon as well as an award to the plaintiffs and putative class of attorney’s fees and litigation expenses. The Manager, the Trust and the other defendants believe the claims asserted to be without merit and intend to actively defend against them.
15. Investment Advisor Merger
Effective January 3, 2011, Rydex Advisors, LLC, the Funds’ investment advisor was merged with and into Security Investors, LLC, which will operate under the name SGI.
The foregoing internal restructuring did not affect the investment advisory services rendered to the Funds, which continue to be managed on a day-to-day basis by the same teams of portfolio managers. The investment philosophies, strategies, and processes of the Funds also remained the same.
In order to implement the restructuring, technical amendments were made to the Funds’ investment advisory agreement with Rydex Advisors, LLC, in order to reflect the change of the identity of the investment advisor. No other changes were made to the investment advisory agreement of the Funds, and the fees and expenses of the Funds remained the same.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of the Nova Fund, S&P 500 Fund, Inverse S&P 500 Strategy Fund, NASDAQ-100® Fund, Inverse NASDAQ-100® Strategy Fund, Mid-Cap 1.5x Strategy Fund, Inverse Mid-Cap Strategy Fund, Russell 2000® 1.5x Strategy Fund, Russell 2000® Fund, Inverse Russell 2000® Strategy Fund, S&P 500 Pure Growth Fund, S&P 500 Pure Value Fund, S&P MidCap 400 Pure Growth Fund, S&P MidCap 400 Pure Value Fund, S&P SmallCap 600 Pure Growth Fund, S&P SmallCap 600 Pure Value Fund, Europe 1.25x Strategy Fund, Japan 2x Strategy Fund, Strengthening Dollar 2x Strategy Fund, Weakening Dollar 2x Strategy Fund, Real Estate Fund, Government Long Bond 1.2x Strategy Fund, Inverse Government Long Bond Strategy Fund, High Yield Strategy Fund, Inverse High Yield Strategy Fund, and U.S. Government Money Market Fund (twenty-six of the series constituting the Rydex Series Funds) (the “Funds”) as of March 31, 2011, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2011, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the above listed Funds at March 31, 2011, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and their financial highlights for each of the years or periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

LETTER TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
DEAR SHAREHOLDER,
The U.S. enjoyed economic recovery through the 12 months ended March 31, 2011, despite the poor housing picture and slow-growing labor market. U.S. stocks emerged from the 2008-09 downturn in early 2010, slowed only at mid-year by European debt problems and the worry that expiration of U.S. government stimulus programs might lead to a double-dip recession. Concern that the recovery was not self-sustaining led the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) to undertake a second round of quantitative easing in the last part of 2010 to keep long-term rates low and spur economic growth.
Stocks responded to the infusion of liquidity by rising nearly 25% from the end of August through March 2011, then stumbling after rising prices for oil and many other commodities accompanied concerns that inflation might get out of hand. The market’s 2011 gains proceeded to be wiped out by political unrest in the Mid East, renewed worries about the sovereign debt of peripheral European countries and a devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Investor belief that these situations were under control, however, sparked a rebound that helped broad U.S. market measures finish the first quarter moderately higher, and 15% or more above the levels seen 12 months earlier.
Investors searching for higher yields increasingly took on credit risk over the past 12 months, which was reflected in good performance across most fixed income sectors, particularly investment grade corporate bonds and high-yield bonds. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury has been climbing since last fall, as safe-haven buying subsided except during market shocks like the Japanese earthquake.
The Fed said in March 2011 that the economy was on firmer footing and that the run-up in commodity prices would not lead to a sustained increase in inflation. It stuck with its planned purchase of up to $600 billion in government bonds, slated to end in June 2011, and—as it has since December 2008—left short-term rates unchanged.
Many U.S. investors are preparing for the shift away from the bond-buying strategy, which they anticipate could slow or halt the stock market rally and introduce a period of volatility. Investors in global markets, meanwhile, are increasingly concerned about the potential for soaring food and energy prices to derail global economic recovery.
The accumulation of shocks, ranging from higher oil prices to turmoil in the Mid East to the effects of the natural disaster in Japan, has led to a lowering of global growth forecasts for 2011. These overseas events pounded the U.S. economy in the form of higher fuel prices, supply-chain disruptions and financial market volatility, also leading to downgrades in estimates of U.S. GDP growth for the first quarter and entire year of 2011. Continuing weakness in the housing market is still plaguing economic growth. The March labor market report showed job growth was picking up, but flat growth in wages and higher fuel and food costs kept consumers on edge. Increases in energy and food prices seem not yet to have spilled into broader inflation measures. Consumer spending is growing, although slowly, while corporate profits continue to rise impressively.
Geopolitical events and improving economic conditions have generally pushed commodity prices higher over the past 12 months. In the first quarter of 2011, the price of a barrel of oil rose above $100 for the first time since 2008. The higher price of oil as a production cost caused the prices of many metals to slip in early 2011, aided by a pullback in demand due to the Japanese quake or China’s efforts to slow lending. Gold spent much of the first quarter of 2011 in negative territory, but has turned in a spectacular climb over the past 12 months, closing out the period at a record high of $1,438 an ounce.
The dollar gained on the euro in 2010, reflecting concern about Europe’s crisis in sovereign debt, but the rally did not carry over into the first quarter of 2011, even though the Mid East was in turmoil, a nuclear crisis overtook Japan and Portugal was pointing toward default. In fact, the dollar in the first
2 | THE RYDEX | SGI SERIES FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT
LETTER TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS (concluded)
quarter of 2011 lost out to many currency counterparts around the world, gaining only slightly against the yen. Since the trade-weighted index for the U.S. dollar peaked last summer, it has fallen 15%, as investors seemed to fear the deleterious effects of continuous Fed easing.
U.S. economic growth, while not robust, has proven strong enough to overcome some major shocks in the first quarter of 2011. The government stimulus package and quantitative easing program have revived the economy, and optimism is growing 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 poised to recover. For the rest of 2011, investors face interest rate risk arising from inflationary monetary policy and deteriorating credit quality in the industrialized world. Energy shortages that could put upward pressure on the prices of oil, natural gas and coal pose perhaps the largest risk to economic growth.

THE RYDEX | SGI SERIES FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT | 3
ABOUT SHAREHOLDERS’ FUND EXPENSES (Unaudited)
All mutual funds have operating expenses and it is important for our shareholders to understand the impact of costs on their investments. Shareholders of a Fund incur two types of costs: (i) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (ii) ongoing costs, including management fees, administrative services, and shareholder reports, among others. These ongoing costs, or operating expenses, are deducted from a fund’s gross income and reduce the investment return of the fund.
A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets, which is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help investors understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period beginning September 30, 2010 and ending March 31, 2011.
The following tables illustrate a Fund’s costs in two ways:
Table 1. Based on actual Fund return. This section helps investors estimate the actual expenses paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return, and the fourth column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. Investors may use the information here, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses paid over the period. Simply divide the Fund’s 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 provided under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Table 2. Based on hypothetical 5% return. This section is intended to help investors compare a Fund’s cost with those of other mutual funds. The table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses paid during the period. The example is useful in making comparisons because the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on the 5% return. Investors can assess a Fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Certain retirement plans such as IRA, SEP, Roth IRA, 403(b), and Rydex | SGI prototype money purchase plan and profit sharing accounts are charged an annual $15 maintenance fee. Upon liquidating a retirement account, a $15 account closing fee will be taken from the proceeds of the redemption.
The calculations illustrated above assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.
Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs which may be incurred by a Fund.
More information about a Fund’s expenses, including annual expense ratios for the past five years, can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to the appropriate Fund prospectus.

PERFORMANCE REPORT AND FUND PROFILE (Unaudited) | | March 31, 2011 |
BANKING FUND
OBJECTIVE: Seeks to provide capital appreciation by investing in companies that are involved in the banking sector, including commercial banks (and their holding companies) and savings and loan institutions (“Banking Companies”).
Inception: April 1, 1998
Strong outperformance of the Banking industry in December was the main reason the Fund kept pace with the broader market in 2010. But while credit conditions are gradually improving—and commercial banks are enjoying high levels of capital, ample liquidity and strengthening asset quality—banks are still beset by weak loan demand, face higher levels of potentially delinquent mortgages and are expecting recent financial reform to impact earnings. An underutilized capital markets industry and poor returns from Diversified Financial Services, with heavy exposure to Europe, were drags on Banking Fund performance.
For the one-year period ended March 31, 2011, Banking Fund Investor Class returned -1.66% compared with the S&P 500 Financials Index, which returned 4.01%.
Banco Bradesco S.A. ADR, ICICI Bank Ltd. ADR and Itau Unibanco Holding S.A. ADR were among the best-performing stocks in the Fund for the year. The worst-performing holdings for the period were Bank of America Corp., Wilmington Trust Corp. and Radian Group.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.

“Industry Diversification (Market Exposure as % of Net Assets)” excludes any temporary cash investments.

PERFORMANCE REPORT AND FUND PROFILE (Unaudited) | | March 31, 2011 |
| | |
BASIC MATERIALS FUND
OBJECTIVE: Seeks to provide capital appreciation by investing in companies engaged in the mining, manufacture or sale of basic materials, such as lumber, steel, iron, aluminum, concrete, chemicals and other basic building and manufacturing materials (“Basic Materials Companies”).
Inception: April 1, 1998
For the one-year period ended March 31, 2011, Basic Materials Fund Investor Class returned 26.50% compared with 24.31% for the S&P 500 Materials Index.
The Basic Materials sector was an underperformer for much of 2010, but awakened along with improving economic conditions that solidified demand in the space. Materials stocks have also benefited from the weakening dollar and rising commodity prices, although the latter also drive up production costs. While some segments of this sector (such as industrial metals) are tied closely with global economic growth, the U.S. materials sectors is driven more by performance in chemicals and agricultural products.
Within the sector, both the Chemicals and the Metals & Mining industries turned in very strong performances, rising 33% and 24%, respectively, providing almost all of the Fund’s return. Lightly weighted Construction Materials was the smallest contributor to Fund performance.
The top-performing holdings were Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan, Inc., Silver Wheaton Corp. and E.I. DuPont de Nemours & Co. The worst-performing holdings included Gerdau S.A. ADR, Cia Siderurgica Nacional S.A. ADR and ArcelorMittal.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.
Industry Diversification (Market Exposure as % of Net Assets)
“Industry Diversification (Market Exposure as % of Net Assets)” excludes any temporary cash investments.

The returns presented above do not reflect the effects of taxes. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The S&P 500 Index and the S&P 500 Materials Index are unmanaged stock indices and, unlike the Fund, have no management fees or other operating expenses to reduce their reported returns. Returns are historical and include changes in principal and reinvested dividends and capital gains. The graphs are based on Investor Class shares and A-Class shares only; performance for Advisor Class shares and C-Class shares will vary due to differences in fee structures.

PERFORMANCE REPORT AND FUND PROFILE (Unaudited) | | March 31, 2011 |
| | |
BIOTECHNOLOGY FUND
OBJECTIVE: Seeks capital appreciation by investing in companies that are involved in the biotechnology industry, including companies involved in research and development, genetic or biological engineering and in the design, manufacture, or sale of related biotechnology products or services (“Biotechnology Companies”).
Inception: April 1, 1998
For the one-year period ended March 31, 2011, Biotechnology Fund Investor Class returned 6.66% compared with the S&P 500 Health Care Index, which returned 5.11%.
This capital-intensive industry did not enjoy a rush of capital during the year. This factor, along with the perception that the FDA takes too long to review new drugs and too-quickly rejects new therapies and technologies because of possible future side effects, restrained performance of the industry and the Fund. Among industry news was the $18.5 billion takeover bid of Genzyme, the world’s largest manufacturer of medicines for genetic diseases, by the French company Sanofi-Aventis S.A. After the initial offer was rejected, the two companies agreed on a $20.1 billion deal in February.
Almost all the Fund’s performance was driven by holdings in the Biotechnology segment. Lightly weighted Pharmaceuticals returned nearly 50%, contributing less than a percentage point to Fund return.
The best-performing stocks in the Fund were Genzyme Corp., Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Biogen Idec, Inc. The worst-performing stocks in the Fund included Amgen, Inc., Amylin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Gilead Sciences, Inc.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.

The returns presented above do not reflect the effects of taxes. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Returns are historical and include changes in principal and reinvested dividends and capital gains. The graphs are based on Investor Class shares and A-Class shares only; performance for Advisor Class shares and C-Class shares will vary due to differences in fee structures.

PERFORMANCE REPORT AND FUND PROFILE (Unaudited) | | March 31, 2011 |
CONSUMER PRODUCTS FUND
OBJECTIVE: Seeks capital appreciation by investing in companies engaged in manufacturing finished goods and services both domestically and internationally (“Consumer Products Companies”).
Inception: July 6, 1998
Consumer Products firms performed well, with solid fundamentals—wage growth that was kept in check, lean inventories and strong expense control. But the rise in commodity prices and the group’s lack of pricing power could compress margins going forward. Among the best-performing segments are those with high exposure to emerging markets and strong brands in domestic markets. As a defensive sector, consumer products may do well if the economic recovery stumbles.
For the one-year period ended March 31, 2011, Consumer Products Fund Investor Class returned 14.81%, compared with a gain of 10.56% for the S&P 500 Consumer Staples Index. All industries in the sector were higher for the year.
Within the sector, the Food Products, Beverages and Tobacco industries were the biggest contributors to Fund performance. Household Products was the weakest contributor to Fund performance.
Fund performance for the year got the biggest boost from Philip Morris International, Inc., Coca-Cola Co. and Altria Group, Inc. The weakest performers were Central European Distribution Corp., SUPERVALU, Inc. and Dean Foods Co.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.

*** | | Returns in the table reflect the reinvestment of dividends on securities in the index. |
The returns presented above do not reflect the effects of taxes. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The S&P 500 Index and the S&P 500 Consumer Staples Index are unmanaged stock indices and, unlike the Fund, have no management fees or other operating expenses to reduce their reported returns. Returns are historical and include changes in principal and reinvested dividends and capital gains. The graphs are based on Investor Class shares and A-Class shares only; performance for Advisor Class shares and C-Class shares will vary due to differences in fee structures.

PERFORMANCE REPORT AND FUND PROFILE (Unaudited) | | March 31, 2011 |
ELECTRONICS FUND
OBJECTIVE: Seeks capital appreciation by investing in companies that are involved in the electronics sector, including semiconductor manufacturers and distributors, and makers and vendors of other electronic components and devices (“Electronics Companies”).
Inception: April 1, 1998
The semiconductor group that makes up most of the holdings in the Fund received renewed focus after the Japan earthquake and tsunami, since companies there account for about 30% of worldwide supply. Japan is also a source of many components and materials for electronics. However, the recovery in Japan has been solid despite ongoing concerns about the situation at the nuclear power plant. As for electronics end markets, the corporate market for computing power remains solid, while the consumer market is still a bit soft. Growth in business investment in technology has been higher than total business investment, but many companies are expected to limit capital spending at the same time that governments are planning to cut costs.
For the one-year period ended March 31, 2011, Electronics Fund Investor Class returned 15.75%, compared with a gain of 11.91% for the S&P 500 Information Technology Index.
The Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment stocks that make up the Fund contributed nearly all of the Fund’s performance.
For the year, Fund performance got the biggest boost from Atmel Corp., Texas Instruments, Inc. and Altera Corp. Intel Corp., Cree, Inc. and Marvell Technology Group Ltd. were among the stocks which provided the least to Fund performance for the period.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.

PERFORMANCE REPORT AND FUND PROFILE (Unaudited) | | March 31, 2011 |
ENERGY FUND
OBJECTIVE: Seeks capital appreciation by investing in companies involved in the energy field, including the exploration, production and development of oil, gas, coal and alternative sources of energy (“Energy Companies”).
Inception: April 21, 1998
The energy sector’s performance was driven largely by the upward trend in the price of a barrel of oil, which in the first quarter of 2011 rose above $100 for the first time since 2008. The sector also benefited from a gradual economic recovery and U.S. quantitative easing that has pushed the dollar lower, supporting oil prices. Loosening monetary policy globally has been keeping upward pressure on economic growth, and developing countries have been leading the demand for more fuel. However, some countries are beginning to tamp down growth—and the potential for higher inflation—by imposing austerity measures. China, for example, a leading oil user, has recently increased interest rates and tightened lending.
For the one-year period ended March 31, 2011, Energy Fund Investor Class returned 37.43%, compared with the 39.81% increase in the S&P 500 Energy Index.
Within the sector, the segment most sensitive to changes in the price of oil, Energy Equipment & Services, accounted for only about 26% of the holdings. Its contribution to return (11%) was second to the contribution from much more heavily weighted Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels. That segment accounts for 73% of the portfolio weight and advanced 38%, contributing 27% to Fund performance.
Exxon Mobil Corp., Chevron Corp. and Schlumberger Ltd. were among the most significant positive contributors to Fund performance for the year, while XTO Energy, Diamond Offshore Drilling, Inc. and Smith International were among the weakest contributors.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.

Returns are historical and include changes in principal and reinvested dividends and capital gains. The graphs are based on Investor Class shares and A-Class shares only; performance for Advisor Class shares and C-Class shares will vary due to differences in fee structures.

PERFORMANCE REPORT AND FUND PROFILE (Unaudited) | | March 31, 2011 |
ENERGY SERVICES FUND
OBJECTIVE: Seeks capital appreciation by investing in companies that are involved in the energy services field, including those that provide services and equipment in the areas of oil, coal and gas exploration and production (“Energy Services Companies”).
Inception: April 1, 1998
The energy equipment and services providers that make up this Fund, and typically are sensitive to changes in the price of oil, responded to the jump in oil prices over 2010 and early 2011, which rose above $100 in the first quarter of 2011. The greatest threat to the companies in the industry is that turmoil in the Middle East and North Africa could result in production and delivery problems that could drive prices a lot higher and many economies back into recession.
For the one-year period ended March 31, 2011, Energy Services Fund Investor Class returned 46.27%, compared with the S&P 500 Energy Index, which returned 39.81%.
The Energy Equipment & Services holdings in this Fund, which makes up 99% of the portfolio, rose about 48% over the last 12 months, contributing most of the Fund’s return for the period.
Schlumberger Ltd., National Oilwell Varco, Inc. and Halliburton Co. were among the Fund’s best-performing stocks for the year. The Fund’s worst-performing holdings included Diamond Offshore Drilling, Inc., Smith International and Transocean Ltd.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.

PERFORMANCE REPORT AND FUND PROFILE (Unaudited) | | March 31, 2011 |
FINANCIAL SERVICES FUND
OBJECTIVE: Seeks capital appreciation by investing in companies involved in the financial services sector (“Financial Services Companies”).
Inception: April 2, 1998
Gradually improving credit conditions and some easing in lending standards helped the Financial Services sector to finish the year strongly and perform in-line with the market for 2010. More financial institutions have been repaying government loans, and prospects for capital markets activity, weak throughout the year, may be improving. New regulations, however, are limiting banks’ proprietary trading, and new capital requirements could hold back lending—both to the detriment of profits. Although housing continues to stabilize, it hasn’t returned to normal, and the industry may be at risk as foreclosures mount.
For the period, REITs, Insurance, and Commercial Banks were the highest-contributing segments. The Capital Markets segment was the lowest-contributing, while Diversified Financial Services detracted from performance.
For the one-year period ended March 31, 2011, Financial Services Fund Investor Class returned 9.33%, while the S&P 500 Financials Index gained 4.01% over the same period.
Banco Bradesco S.A. ADR, American International Group, Inc. and Discover Financial Services were among the stocks which contributed the most to Fund performance during the year. Bank of America Corp., Genworth Financial, Inc.—Class A and BB&T Corp. were among the stocks that contributed the least to Fund performance for the period.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.

The returns presented above do not reflect the effects of taxes. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The S&P 500 Index and the S&P 500 Financials Index are unmanaged stock indices and, unlike the Fund, have no management fees or other operating expenses to reduce their reported returns. Returns are historical and include changes in principal and reinvested dividends and capital gains. The graphs are based on Investor Class shares and A-Class shares only; performance for Advisor Class shares and C-Class shares will vary due to differences in fee structures.

PERFORMANCE REPORT AND FUND PROFILE (Unaudited) | | March 31, 2011 |
HEALTH CARE FUND
OBJECTIVE: Seeks capital appreciation by investing in companies that are involved in the health care industry (“Health Care Companies”).
Inception: April 17, 1998
The health care sector did not stand out in 2010, despite attractive fundamentals, largely because it was beaten down prior to passage of the healthcare bill in March, even though the more damaging provisions to profitability will take effect well down the road. Investors in 2010 appeared to be more concerned over the strength of the drug pipeline and how regulations could impact the group. The large pharmaceutical industry is looking at a significant level of patent expirations, and investors are unsure where future growth will come from.
For the one-year period ended March 31, 2011, Health Care Fund Investor Class returned 8.48%, compared with a 5.11% gain for the S&P 500 Health Care Index.
The biggest positive contributors to Fund performance included Health Care Providers & Services, which composed 22% of the portfolio. The Pharmaceuticals segment was also a significant contributor to Fund return. All industries in the portfolio generated positive returns for the year, but Health Care Technology was the segment contributing least to Fund performance.
The year’s top-performing holdings included Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc., Pfizer and UnitedHealth Group, Inc. Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. ADR, Medtronic, Inc. and Amgen, Inc. were among the Fund’s weakest performers for the period.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.

INTERNET FUND
OBJECTIVE: Seeks capital appreciation by investing in companies that provide products or services designed for or related to the Internet (“Internet Companies”).
Inception: April 6, 2000
Internet companies benefited from improving economic conditions, retail spending and consumers that were particularly confident around the end of 2010. The industry is also experiencing considerable growth in developing countries, for example, China, where internet search provider Baidu saw revenue double from 2009 to 2010. The industry is also benefiting from new trends like cloud computing and innovation in delivery of services via the internet.
For the one-year period ended March 31, 2011, Internet Fund Investor Class returned 25.25%, compared with a gain of 11.91% for the S&P 500 Information Technology Index.
Within the sector, Internet Software & Services, Internet & Catalog Retail and Software were the biggest positive contributors to Fund performance. Commercial Services & Supplies and Communications Equipment were the biggest detractors from performance.
Baidu, Inc. ADR, Netflix, Inc. and Priceline.com, Inc. were among the stocks which added the most to Fund performance for the year, while Cisco Systems, Inc., Research in Motion Ltd. and VistaPrint N.V. were among the stocks which added the least to Fund performance for the year.

PERFORMANCE REPORT AND FUND PROFILE (Unaudited) | | March 31, 2011 |
LEISURE FUND
OBJECTIVE: Seeks capital appreciation by investing in companies in leisure and entertainment businesses (“Leisure Companies”).
Inception: April 1, 1998
Profits of consumer discretionary companies were strong during 2010, as consumer spending rebounded along with the overall economy. The Fund is composed largely of media companies and hotels and restaurants, and both benefited from a slightly better outlook for employment that gave consumers a little more confidence in their ability to spend. The consumer discretionary sector tends to perform well in the early stages of an economic recovery, but may lag as the recovery matures. Also, the recent rise in the cost of commodities could crimp profits going forward.
For the one-year period ended March 31, 2011, Leisure Fund Investor Class returned 21.91%, compared with a gain of 21.18% for the S&P 500 Consumer Discretionary Index.
Within the sector, the Hotels, Restaurants & Leisure segment, which made up 40% of the portfolio, contributed about half of the Fund’s return for the year, while Media holdings were the next-largest contributor. Communications Equipment and Diversified Consumer Services were the weakest contributors to performance, while the distributors segment detracted from performance.
Among the stocks that contributed the most to the Fund’s annual performance were Las Vegas Sands Corp., Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. and Comcast Corp.—Class A. Eastman Kodak Co., Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. and DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc.—Class A were among the Fund’s weakest holdings for the period.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.

The precious metals market and commodities generally moved up strongly in 2010, in conjunction with the improving global economy and demand from China and other fast-growing nations. Concern about economic instability in the West and the potential for inflation in China also drove demand from hedge funds and institutional investors. Participation among individual investors also benefited this group, as they snapped up ETFs and futures contracts in seeking a perceived safe haven. Gold finished 2010 at $1,421 an ounce, up almost 30% for the year, and continued to rise in 2011 to a new nominal record. Prices of other metals in early 2011 varied according to the impact recent global events could have on supply and demand.
For the one-year period ended March 31, 2011, Precious Metals Fund Investor Class returned 40.57%, compared with the 24.31% increase in the S&P 500 Materials Index.
The Metals & Mining holdings that account for most of the portfolio advanced about 40% for the year.
Silver Wheaton Corp., Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold, Inc. and Barrick Gold Corp. were among the stocks which added the most to Fund performance during the year. Jaguar Mining, Inc., Kinross Gold Corp. and Golden Star Resources Ltd. were among the stocks which contributed the least to Fund performance.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.

PERFORMANCE REPORT AND FUND PROFILE (Unaudited) | | March 31, 2011 |
RETAILING FUND
OBJECTIVE: Seeks capital appreciation by investing in companies engaged in merchandising finished goods and services, including department stores, restaurant franchises, mail-order operations and other companies involved in selling products to consumers (“Retailing Companies”).
Inception: April 1, 1998
Late-year reports indicating strong holiday sales boosted the shares of many retailers, but the sector is also facing the impact of recent spikes in commodity prices and a beleaguered consumer market dealing with continued high unemployment and low levels of confidence.
For the one-year period ended March 31, 2011, Retailing Fund Investor Class returned 15.20%, compared with a gain of 21.18% for the S&P 500 Consumer Discretionary Index.
Within the sector, heavily weighted Specialty Retail contributed about half of the Fund performance. Internet Catalog & Retail and Multiline Retail contributed most of the remainder of the Fund’s total return.
Higher-growth industries, including Internet & Catalog Retail, posted the strongest gains for the year, while lower-growth, lower-risk industries, including Distributors and Food & Staples Retailing, had weak performance and made low contributions to return. Consumer Finance segment detracted from return.
Fund performance for the year benefited most from Priceline.com, Inc., Netflix, Inc. and Amazon.com, Inc. Best Buy Company, Inc., Sears Holdings Corp. and Office Depot were among the Fund’s weakest-performing stocks for the period.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.

PERFORMANCE REPORT AND FUND PROFILE (Unaudited) | | March 31, 2011 |
TECHNOLOGY FUND
OBJECTIVE: Seeks capital appreciation by investing in companies that are involved in the technology sector, including computer software and service companies, semiconductor manufacturers, networking and telecommunications equipment manufacturers, PC hardware and peripherals companies (“Technology Companies”).
Inception: April 14, 1998
The technology sector performed in line with the market for the past 12 months, largely due to higher spending from businesses that had been putting off technology investments. Companies in the sector often carry large cash balances and relatively low debt, and may be poised to increase dividends or consider mergers and acquisitions. The sector is benefiting from the secular change away from desktop PCs and into smartphones and tablets.
For the one-year period ended March 31, 2011, Technology Fund Investor Class returned 15.88%, compared with a gain of 11.91% for the S&P 500 Information Technology Index.
Within the sector, Software, Internet Software & Services, IT Services and Semiconductors provided almost all of Fund return. Leisure Equipment and Office Electronics were the weakest contributors to Fund performance.
Fund performance for the year got the biggest boost from Apple, Inc., Baidu, Inc. ADR and Oracle Corp. Cisco Systems, Inc., Hewlett-Packard Co. and Microsoft Corp. were among the weakest-performing stocks for the period.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.
Industry Diversification (Market Exposure as % of Net Assets)

The returns presented above do not reflect the effects of taxes. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Returns are historical and include changes in principal and reinvested dividends and capital gains. The graphs are based on Investor Class shares and A-Class shares only; performance for Advisor Class shares and C-Class shares will vary due to differences in fee structures.

PERFORMANCE REPORT AND FUND PROFILE (Unaudited) | | March 31, 2011 |
TELECOMMUNICATIONS FUND
OBJECTIVE: Seeks capital appreciation by investing in companies engaged in the development, manufacture or sale of communications services or communications equipment (“Telecommunications Companies”).
Inception: April 1, 1998
Telecommunication firms posted returns in line with the broad equity market over the past 12 months, benefiting from investors’ seeking higher-yielding areas of the market. Even though consumers’ demand for wireless devices appears to be increasing, it means the sector is facing a continued secular decline in wireline revenue and greater competition among wireless carriers, with five or more networks in all major markets. The sector has the highest debt-to-equity ratio of a non-financial sector, which could be a drag on profits if credit remains tight.
For the one-year period ended March 31, 2011, Telecommunications Fund Investor Class returned 15.06%, compared with a gain of 30.37% for the S&P 500 Telecommunication Services Index.
Industries within the sector that contributed most of the Fund’s return were Diversified Telecommunication Services, Wireless Telecommunications Services and Communications Equipment.
Verizon Communications, Inc., Vodafone Group plc ADR and AT&T, Inc. were among the strongest performers for the year. Cisco Systems, Inc., Research in Motion Ltd. and Nokia Corp. were among the stocks which added least to Fund performance during the year.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.
Industry Diversification (Market Exposure as % of Net Assets)
“Industry Diversification (Market Exposure as % of Net Assets)” excludes any temporary cash investments.

PERFORMANCE REPORT AND FUND PROFILE (Unaudited) | March 31, 2011 |
TRANSPORTATION FUND
OBJECTIVE: Seeks capital appreciation by investing in companies engaged in providing transportation services or companies engaged in the design, manufacture, distribution or sale of transportation equipment (“Transportation Companies”).
Inception: April 2, 1998
Transportation firms have slightly outpaced the broader equity market in the past 12 months, particularly in the Road & Rail segment, the largest in the Fund. The other large component of the Fund, Air Freight & Logistics, also performed well. The two smallest segments, Marine and Gas Utilities, had poor performance for the year and produced a drag on Fund performance.
For the one-year period ended March 31, 2011, Transportation Fund Investor Class returned 17.07%, compared with a gain of 21.91% for the S&P 500 Industrials Index.
CSX Corp., Union Pacific Corp. and United Parcel Service, Inc. — Class B were among the biggest contributors to Fund performance for the year. Delta Air Lines, Inc., DryShips, Inc. and Genco Shipping & Trading Ltd. were among the stocks which provided the least performance to the Fund during the year. Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.

PERFORMANCE REPORT AND FUND PROFILE (Unaudited) | | March 31, 2011 |
UTILITIES FUND
OBJECTIVE: Seeks capital appreciation by investing in companies that operate public utilities (“Utilities Companies”).
Inception: April 3, 2000
Utility companies performed in line with the broader equity market in the past 12 months, as investors sought out dependable dividend-paying companies. Regulated utilities have been steady performers, despite lower demand based on a weak housing market, and earnings are expected to grow moderately. A glut of capacity, however, will keep pressure on prices the less-regulated power generators can charge.
For the one-year period ended March 31, 2011, Utilities Fund Investor Class returned 15.94%, compared with a gain of 12.36% for the S&P 500 Utilities Index.
Within the sector, Electric Utilities, 45% of the portfolio weight, provided the largest contribution to performance. The Multi-Utilities segment, a third of the portfolio weight, was next. Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels, relatively lightly weighted in the sector, had negative performance and detracted from Fund return.
Southern Co., Oneok, Inc. and National Fuel Gas Co. were among the Fund’s best-performing stocks over the one-year period, while Entergy Corp., Constellation Energy Group, Inc. and EQT Corp. were among the weakest performers.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.

Returns are historical and include changes in principal and reinvested dividends and capital gains. The graphs are based on Investor Class shares and A-Class shares only; performance for Advisor Class shares and C-Class shares will vary due to differences in fee structures.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies Organization
The Rydex Series Funds (the “Trust”) is registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) as a non-diversified, open-ended investment company. The Trust offers eight separate classes of shares, Investor Class shares, Investor2 Class shares, Advisor Class shares, A-Class shares, C-Class shares, H-Class shares, Institutional Class shares, and Y-Class shares. C-Class shares have a 1% CDSC if shares are redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Sales of shares of each Class are made without a front-end sales charge at the net asset value per share, with the exception of A-Class shares. A-Class shares are sold at net asset value, plus the applicable front-end sales charge. The sales charge varies depending on the amount purchased, but will not exceed 4.75%. A-Class share purchases of $1 million or more are exempt from the front-end sales charge but have a 1% CDSC if shares are redeemed within 12 months of purchase.
At March 31, 2011, the Trust consisted of fifty-eight separate funds. This report covers the Sector Funds (the “Funds”), while the other funds are contained in separate reports.
Security Global Investors (“SGI”) provides advisory services and Rydex Fund Services, LLC (“RFS”) provides transfer agent, administrative and accounting services to the Trust. Rydex Distributors, LLC (“RDL”) acts as principal underwriter for the Trust. SGI, RFS and RDL are affiliated entities.
The Sector Funds invest in a specific industry sector. To the extent that investments are concentrated in a single sector, the Funds are subject to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting such sector.
The Funds seek capital appreciation and invest substantially all of their assets in equity securities of companies involved in their sector.
The Sector Funds are designed and operated to accommodate frequent trading by shareholders and, unlike most mutual funds, offer unlimited exchange privileges with no minimum holding periods or transactions fees, which may cause the Funds to experience high portfolio turnover.
Significant Accounting Policies
The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and are consistently followed by the Trust. This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. All time references are based on Eastern Time.
A. Equity securities listed on an exchange (New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) or American Stock Exchange) are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the close of business on the NYSE, usually 4:00 p.m. on the valuation date. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ market system are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price on the valuation date.
Repurchase agreements are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued as determined in good faith by SGI under direction of the Board of Trustees using methods established or ratified by the Board of Trustees. These methods include, but are not limited to: (i) general information as to how these securities and assets trade; (ii) in connection with futures contracts and options thereupon, and other derivative investments, information as to how (a) these contracts and other derivative investments trade in the futures or other derivative markets, respectively, and (b) the securities underlying these contracts and other derivative investments trade in the cash market; and (iii) other information and considerations, including current values in related markets.
B. Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded using the identified cost basis. Proceeds from lawsuits related to investment holdings are recorded as realized gains in the respective Fund. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of applicable taxes withheld by foreign countries. Taxable non-cash dividends are recorded as dividend income. Interest income, including amortization of premiums and accretion of discount, is accrued on a daily basis. Distributions received from investments in REITs are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distribution by the issuer.
C. Distributions of net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
D. The Funds may leave cash overnight in their cash account with the custodian, U.S. Bank. Periodically, a Fund may have cash due to the custodian bank as an overdraft balance. A fee is incurred on this overdraft,
THE RYDEX | SGI SERIES FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT | 145
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
calculated by multiplying the overdraft by a rate based on the federal funds rate.
E. Interest and dividend income, most expenses, all realized gains and losses, and all unrealized gains and losses are allocated to the Classes based upon the value of the outstanding shares in each Class. Certain costs, such as distribution fees relating to A-Class shares and service and distribution fees related to Advisor Class shares and C-Class shares, are charged directly to specific Classes. In addition, certain expenses have been allocated to the individual funds in the Trust on a pro rata basis upon the respective aggregate net assets of each fund included in the Trust.
F. Throughout the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds and/or their affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
2. Fees And Other Transactions With Affiliates
Under the terms of an investment advisory contract, the Trust pays SGI investment advisory fees calculated at an annualized rate of 0.85% of the average daily net assets of each of the Funds, except the Precious Metals Fund, which is 0.75% of the average daily net assets.
RFS provides transfer agent and administrative services to the Funds for fees calculated at an annualized rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each Fund.
RFS also provides accounting services to the Trust for fees calculated at an annualized rate of 0.10% on the first $250 million of the average daily net assets, 0.075% on the next $250 million of the average daily net assets, 0.05% on the next $250 million of the average daily net assets, and 0.03% on the average daily net assets over $750 million of each Fund.
RFS engages external service providers to perform other necessary services to the Trust, such as accounting and auditing related services, legal services, printing and mailing, etc. on a pass through basis. Such expenses vary from Fund to Fund and are allocated to the Funds based on relative net assets. Organizational and setup costs for new funds are paid by the Trust.
The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan and Shareholder Services Plan applicable to its Advisor Class shares and a Distribution Plan applicable to A-Class shares for which RDL and other firms that provide distribution and/or shareholder services (“Service Providers”) may receive compensation. If a Service Provider provides distribution services, the Trust will pay distribution fees to RDL at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of average daily net assets, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. RDL, in turn, will pay the Service Provider out of its fees. RDL may, at its discretion, retain a portion of such payments to compensate itself for distribution services. With regard to Advisor Class shares only, if a Service Provider provides shareholder services, RDL will receive shareholder servicing fees from the Trust at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of average daily net assets. RDL, in turn, will pay the Service Provider out of its fees.
The Trust has adopted a separate Distribution and Shareholder Services Plan applicable to its C-Class shares that allows the Funds to pay annual distribution and service fees of 1.00% of the Funds’ C-Class shares average daily net assets. The annual 0.25% service fee compensates the shareholder’s financial advisor for providing ongoing services to the shareholder. The annual distribution fee of 0.75% reimburses RDL for paying the shareholder’s financial advisor an ongoing sales commission. RDL advances the first year’s service and distribution fees to the Financial Advisor. RDL retains the service and distribution fees on accounts with no authorized dealer of record.
For the period ended March 31, 2011, RDL retained sales charges of $606,415 relating to sales of A-Class shares of the Trust.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also officers of SGI, RFS and RDL.
3. Federal Income Tax Information
The Funds intend to comply with the provisions of Sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and will distribute substantially all net investment income and capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax provision has been recorded.
Tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns are evaluated to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on Federal income tax returns for all open tax years (fiscal years 2008-2011), and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for losses deferred due to wash sales, losses deferred due to post-October losses, and excise tax regulations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Permanent book and tax basis differences, if any, will result in reclassifications. This may include net operating losses not utilized during the current period, the expiration of capital loss carryforward, and the utilization of earnings and profits distributed to the shareholders on redemption of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. Any undistributed ordinary income or long-term capital gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
Tax basis capital losses in excess of capital gains are carried forward to offset future net capital gains. For the year ended March 31, 2011, the following capital loss carryforward amounts expired or were used to offset current year net realized capital gains:

Pursuant to Federal income tax regulations applicable to investment companies, the Funds have elected to treat net capital losses realized between November 1 and March 31 of each year as occurring on the first day of the following tax year. For the year ended March 31, 2011, the following amounts of realized capital losses reflected in the accompanying financial statements were not recognized for Federal income tax purposes until April 1, 2011:

4. Repurchase Agreements
The Funds transfer uninvested cash balances into a single joint account, the daily aggregate balance of which is invested in one or more repurchase agreements collateralized by obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government Agencies. The collateral is in the possession of the Funds’ custodian and is evaluated to ensure that its market value exceeds, at a minimum, 102% of the original face amount of the repurchase agreements. Each Fund holds a pro rata share of the collateral based on the dollar amount of the repurchase agreement entered into by each Fund.
The repurchase agreements executed by the joint account and outstanding at March 31, 2011, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Counterparty | | Terms of Agreement | | Face Value | | Market Value | | Repurchase Price |
|
Credit Suisse Group | | 0.05% due 04/01/11 | | $ | 83,257,483 | | | $ | 83,257,483 | | | $ | 83,257,599 | |
At March 31, 2011, the collateral for the repurchase agreements in the joint account was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Security Type | | Maturity Date | | Rate | | Par Value | | Market Value |
|
U.S. Treasury Note | | 09/30/2012 | | | 0.38 | % | | $ | 85,134,600 | | | $ | 84,922,636 | |
In the event of counterparty default, the Funds have the right to collect the collateral to offset losses incurred. There is potential loss to the Funds in the event the Funds are delayed or prevented from exercising their rights to dispose of the collateral securities, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Funds seek to assert their rights. The Funds’ investment advisor, acting under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, reviews the value of the collateral and the creditworthiness of those banks and dealers with which the Funds enter into repurchase agreements to evaluate potential risks.

5. 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 is utilized to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below: Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
| | |
|
Level 1 — | | quoted prices in active markets for identical investments. |
| | |
Level 2 — | | other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). |

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 roll forward rather than as one net number.

7. Line of Credit
The Trust has secured an uncommitted, $75,000,000 line of credit with U.S. Bank, N.A. Borrowings, if any, under this arrangement bear interest equal to the Prime Rate, minus 2%, which shall be paid monthly. The maximum loan amount outstanding per Fund should be the lesser of: an amount which, when added to the total of other outstanding loan amounts under this agreement, exceeds the total line of credit, 33 1/3% of a Fund’s net assets, 33 1/3% of a Fund’s assets held by the Custodian or 33 1/3% of the sum of a Fund’s securities on any given day. This line of credit expires on June 15, 2011. As of and for the year ended March 31, 2011, the Funds did not have any outstanding borrowings under this agreement.
8. Acquisition of Security Benefit Corporation
Guggenheim SBC Holdings, LLC (“Guggenheim SBC Holdings”), an investor group managed by Guggenheim Partners, LLC (“Guggenheim”), acquired control of Security Benefit Corporation (“SBC”), the parent company of Rydex Advisors, LLC (formerly PADCO Advisors, Inc.), the Funds’ investment advisor (the “Investment Advisor”), pursuant to an agreement entered between SBC and Guggenheim SBC Holdings. Under the agreement, Guggenheim SBC Holdings received a 100% ownership stake in SBC and consequently acquired control of the Investment Advisor (the “Purchase Transaction”). Guggen-heim is a global, independent, privately held, diversified financial services firm with more than $100 billion in assets under supervision. The Purchase Transaction did not result in material changes to the day-to-day management and operations of the Funds or any increase in fees. The Purchase Transaction closed on July 30, 2010.
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the closing of the Purchase Transaction had the effect of terminating the Funds’ investment advisory agreement with the Investment Advisor (the “Previous Agreement”). A new investment advisory agreement (“New Agreement”) was approved by Fund shareholders in a series of special meetings of shareholders. The terms of the New Agreement are substantially identical to the Previous Agreement, except with respect to the date of execution.
9. Distributor and Transfer Agent Change
Effective July 30, 2010, the Funds’ Distributor, Rydex Distributors, LLC, a Maryland corporation, became Rydex Distributors, LLC, a Kansas limited liability company, and Rydex Fund Services, Inc., the Funds’ transfer agent, became Rydex Fund Services, LLC, a Kansas limited liability company.
10. Investment Advisor Merger
Effective January 3, 2011, Rydex Advisors, LLC, the Funds’ investment advisor was merged with and into Security Investors, LLC, which operates under the name SGI.
The foregoing internal restructuring did not affect the investment advisory services rendered to the Funds, which continue to be managed on a day-to-day basis by the same teams of portfolio managers. The investment philosophies, strategies, and processes of the Funds also remained the same.
In order to implement the restructuring, technical amendments were made to the Funds’ investment advisory agreement with Rydex Advisors, LLC, in order to reflect the change of the identity of the investment advisor. No other changes were made to the investment advisory agreement of the Funds, and the fees and expenses of the Funds remained the same.
THE RYDEX | SGI SERIES FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT | 151
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Rydex Series Funds:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of the Banking Fund, Basic Materials Fund, Biotechnology Fund, Consumer Products Fund, Electronics Fund, Energy Fund, Energy Services Fund, Financial Services Fund, Health Care Fund, Internet Fund, Leisure Fund, Precious Metals Fund, Retailing Fund, Technology Fund, Telecommunications Fund, Transportation Fund and Utilities Fund (seventeen of the series constituting the Rydex Series Funds) (the “Funds”) as of March 31, 2011, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2011, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the above listed Funds at March 31, 2011, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and their financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

LETTER TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
DEAR SHAREHOLDER,
The U.S. enjoyed economic recovery through the 12 months ended March 31, 2011, despite the poor housing picture and slow-growing labor market. U.S. stocks emerged from the 2008-09 downturn in early 2010, slowed only at mid-year by European debt problems and the worry that expiration of U.S. government stimulus programs might lead to a double-dip recession. Concern that the recovery was not self-sustaining led the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) to undertake a second round of quantitative easing in the last part of 2010 to keep long-term rates low and spur economic growth.
Stocks responded to the infusion of liquidity by rising nearly 25% from the end of August through March 2011, then stumbling after rising prices for oil and many other commodities accompanied concerns that inflation might get out of hand. The market’s 2011 gains proceeded to be wiped out by political unrest in the Mid East, renewed worries about the sovereign debt of peripheral European countries and a devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Investor belief that these situations were under control, however, sparked a rebound that helped broad U.S. market measures finish the first quarter moderately higher, and 15% or more above the levels seen 12 months earlier.
Investors searching for higher yields increasingly took on credit risk over the past 12 months, which was reflected in good performance across most fixed income sectors, particularly investment grade corporate bonds and high-yield bonds. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury has been climbing since last fall, as safe-haven buying subsided except during market shocks like the Japanese earthquake.
The Fed said in March 2011 that the economy was on firmer footing and that the run-up in commodity prices would not lead to a sustained increase in inflation. It stuck with its planned purchase of up to $600 billion in government bonds, slated to end in June 2011, and—as it has since December 2008—left short-term rates unchanged.
Many U.S. investors are preparing for the shift away from the bond-buying strategy, which they anticipate could slow or halt the stock market rally and introduce a period of volatility. Investors in global markets, meanwhile, are increasingly concerned about the potential for soaring food and energy prices to derail global economic recovery.
The accumulation of shocks, ranging from higher oil prices to turmoil in the Mid East to the effects of the natural disaster in Japan, has led to a lowering of global growth forecasts for 2011. These overseas events pounded the U.S. economy in the form of higher fuel prices, supply-chain disruptions and financial market volatility, also leading to downgrades in estimates of U.S. GDP growth for the first quarter and entire year of 2011. Continuing weakness in the housing market is still plaguing economic growth. The March labor market report showed job growth was picking up, but flat growth in wages and higher fuel and food costs kept consumers on edge. Increases in energy and food prices seem not yet to have spilled into broader inflation measures. Consumer spending is growing, although slowly, while corporate profits continue to rise impressively.
Geopolitical events and improving economic conditions have generally pushed commodity prices higher over the past 12 months. In the first quarter of 2011, the price of a barrel of oil rose above $100 for the first time since 2008. The higher price of oil as a production cost caused the prices of many metals to slip in early 2011, aided by a pullback in demand due to the Japanese quake or China’s efforts to slow lending. Gold spent much of the first quarter of 2011 in negative territory, but has turned in a spectacular climb over the past 12 months, closing out the period at a record high of $1,438 an ounce.

LETTER TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS (concluded)
The dollar gained on the euro in 2010, reflecting concern about Europe’s crisis in sovereign debt, but the rally did not carry over into the first quarter of 2011, even though the Mid East was in turmoil, a nuclear crisis overtook Japan and Portugal was pointing toward default. In fact, the dollar in the first quarter of 2011 lost out to many currency counterparts around the world, gaining only slightly against the yen. Since the trade-weighted index for the U.S. dollar peaked last summer, it has fallen 15%, as investors seemed to fear the deleterious effects of continuous Fed easing.
U.S. economic growth, while not robust, has proven strong enough to overcome some major shocks in the first quarter of 2011. The government stimulus package and quantitative easing program have revived the economy, and optimism is growing 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 poised to recover. For the rest of 2011, investors face interest rate risk arising from inflationary monetary policy and deteriorating credit quality in the industrialized world. Energy shortages that could put upward pressure on the prices of oil, natural gas and coal pose perhaps the largest risk to economic growth.

A BRIEF NOTE ON THE COMPOUNDING OF RETURNS (Unaudited)
Emerging Markets 2x Strategy Fund and Inverse Emerging Markets 2x Strategy Fund described in this report are benchmarked daily to leveraged and/or inverse leveraged versions of published indices. To properly evaluate the performance of these funds, it is essential to understand the effect of mathematical compounding on their respective returns.
Because of the nonlinear effects of leverage applied over time, it is possible for a fund to perform in line with its benchmark for several individual periods in a row, yet seem to trail the benchmark over the entire period. It is also possible that a fund that performs in-line with its benchmark on a daily basis may seem to outperform its benchmark over longer periods.
An Example of Compounding
For example, consider a hypothetical fund that is designed to produce returns that correspond to 150% of an index. On the first day of a period, the index rises from a level of 100 to a level of 106, producing a 6.0% gain and an expectation that the fund will rise by 9.0%. On the same day, the fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) increases from $10.00 to $10.90 for a gain of 9.0%—in line with its benchmark. On day two, assume the index falls from 106 to 99 for a loss of about 6.6%. The fund, as expected, falls 9.9% to a price of $9.82. On each day, the fund performed exactly in line with its benchmark, but for the two-day period, the fund was down 1.8%, while the index was down only 1.0%. Without taking into account the daily compounding of returns, one would expect the fund to lose 1.5% and would see the fund as trailing by 0.3% when in fact it had performed perfectly. This example is summarized in the table below.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Index | | Index | | Fund | | | | | | Fund | | |
| | Level | | Performance | | Expectation | | Fund NAV | | Performance | | Assessment |
|
Start | | | 100 | | | | | | | | �� | | | $ | 10.00 | | | | | | | | | |
Day 1 | | | 106 | | | | 6.0 | % | | | 9.0 | % | | $ | 10.90 | | | | 9.0 | % | | In line |
Day 2 | | | 99 | | | | -6.6 | % | | | -9.9 | % | | $ | 9.82 | | | | -9.9 | % | | In line |
Cumulative | | | | | | | -1.0 | % | | | -1.5 | % | | | | | | | -1.8 | % | | | -0.3 | % |
As illustrated by this simple example, the effect of leverage can make it difficult to form expectations or judgments about fund performance given only the returns of the unleveraged index.
Because funds seek to track the performance of their benchmark on a daily basis, mathematical compounding, especially with respect to those funds that use leverage as part of their investment strategy, may prevent a fund from correlating with the monthly, quarterly, annual or other period performance of its benchmark. Due to the compounding of daily returns, leveraged and inverse funds’ returns over periods other than one day will likely differ in amount and possibly direction from the benchmark return for the same period. Investors should monitor their leveraged and inverse funds’ holdings consistent with their strategies, as frequently as daily. For those funds that consistently apply leverage, the value of the fund’s shares will tend to increase or decrease more than the value of any increase or decrease in its benchmark index. For more on correlation, leverage and other risks, please read the prospectus.
In general, any change in direction in an index will produce compounding that seems to work against an investor. Were the index to move in the same direction (either up or down) for two or more periods in a row, the compounding of those returns would work in an investor’s favor, causing the fund to seemingly beat its benchmark.
As a general rule of thumb, more leverage in a fund will magnify the compounding effect, while less leverage will generally produce results that are more in line with expectations. In addition, periods of high volatility in an underlying index will also cause the effects of compounding to be more pronounced, while lower volatility will produce a more muted effect.

ABOUT SHAREHOLDERS’ FUND EXPENSES (Unaudited)
All mutual funds have operating expenses and it is important for our shareholders to understand the impact of costs on their investments. Shareholders of a Fund incur two types of costs: (i) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (ii) ongoing costs, including management fees, administrative services, and shareholder reports, among others. These ongoing costs, or operating expenses, are deducted from a fund’s gross income and reduce the investment return of the fund.
A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets, which is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help investors understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period beginning September 30, 2010 and ending March 31, 2011.
The following tables illustrate a Fund’s costs in two ways:
Table 1. Based on actual Fund return. This section helps investors estimate the actual expenses paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return, and the fourth column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. Investors may use the information here, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses paid over the period. Simply divide the Fund’s 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 provided under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Table 2. Based on hypothetical 5% return. This section is intended to help investors compare a Fund’s cost with those of other mutual funds. The table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses paid during the period. The example is useful in making comparisons because the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on the 5% return. Investors can assess a Fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Certain retirement plans such as IRA, SEP, Roth IRA and 403(b), Rydex prototype money purchase plan and profit sharing plan accounts are charged an annual $15 maintenance fee. Upon liquidating a retirement account, a $15 account closing fee will be taken from the proceeds of the redemption.
The calculations illustrated above assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.
Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs which may be incurred by a Fund.
More information about a Fund’s expenses, including annual expense ratios for the past five years, can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to the appropriate Fund prospectus.

U.S. LONG SHORT MOMENTUM FUND
(Formerly, All-Cap Opportunity Fund)
OBJECTIVE: Seeks long-term capital appreciation.
Inception: March 22, 2002
For the one-year period ended March 31, 2011, the U.S. Long Short Momentum Fund H-Class returned 13.38% as opposed to its benchmark, the Russell 3000® Index, which ended the year up 17.41%. The performance differential for the Fund can be attributed to three major sources of relative returns: core momentum strategy, defensive hedge and transaction costs/fees.
After a difficult 2009, the performance of momentum strategies in 2010 was mixed. In contrast to 2009, 12-month momentum signals fared better than three-month signals. The former contributed positively to Fund return but was overwhelmed by losses from the shorter-term signal. The net effect was that the core momentum model trailed the Russell 3000® Index benchmark.
At the end of May 2010, an active hedging model was introduced to the Fund based on the breadth of industry strength. This hedge utilizes S&P 500® Index equity futures to dial down the Fund’s equity exposure when a large number of industries have negative 12-month and three-month price momentum. This hedge was initiated at approximately 8% at the end of May, meaning that the Fund reduced its long equity exposure by 8% and introduced a short equity exposure with a notional value equal to 8% of AUM. The hedge consistently declined in value and ended the year at 3%. These are small hedge ratios relative to the amounts expected to be realized in a downward trending market. However, they did cost the Fund relative performance, as the Russell 3000 Index rallied from the end of May through year end. Transaction costs were relatively low given the high turnover of the momentum strategy. Combined with management fees, these operational costs reduced Fund performance versus the Russell 3000® Index benchmark. Within the Fund, large overweights of Internet & Catalog Retail and Auto Components contributed positively to benchmark relative return. Among the biggest detractors from relative performance were allocations to Internet Software and Metals & Mining industries.

PERFORMANCE REPORT AND FUND PROFILE (Unaudited) | | March 31, 2011 |
ALTERNATIVE STRATEGIES ALLOCATION FUND
OBJECTIVE: Seeks to deliver a return that has a low correlation to the returns of traditional stock and bond asset classes as well as provide capital appreciation.
Inception: March 7, 2008
The Fed was the dominant force in the market for the past 12 months. The year 2010 began with the break out of the sovereign debt crisis in Europe, and equity markets fell off on the news. After a brief recovery during earnings season, the markets were reminded of the European crisis and fell off again. However, the Fed’s announcement of its second quantitative easing policy changed the market sentiment. Beginning in late August, sentiment moved to risk-on. In the meantime, macroeconomic numbers showed the economy was improving. Despite the emergence of the Ireland crisis and the crisis in other European countries still lingering, the equity and commodities markets ignored these developments, and more than covered the losses from earlier in the year. Short-term bond yields late in the year touched record-low levels. Alternative investment strategies did not shine in this environment, and some momentum strategies that were designed to capture the trend quicker actually lost money in the market swings. The economy continued its slow recovery in the first quarter of 2011, as equity markets benefited from extensive liquidity.
The Alternative Strategies Allocation Fund H-Class returned 2.26%. Equities, as represented by the S&P 500® Index, returned 15.65%. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index rose 5.12%. In the whole period, the Long/Short Commodities Strategy Fund, Event Driven and Distressed Strategies Fund, and Long Short Equity Strategy Fund were the largest contributors to Fund performance. Equity Market Neutral Fund, Managed Futures Strategy Fund and PowerShares DB G10 Currency Harvest Fund contributed the least to performance.
Derivatives in the Fund are used to provide broad index exposure and liquidity. The results of derivatives use during the period were within our expectations and contributed to the Fund’s performance.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.

The returns presented above do not reflect the effects of taxes. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The S&P 500 Index and the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index are unmanaged indices and, unlike the Fund, have no management fees or other operating expenses to reduce their reported returns. Returns are historical and include changes in principal and reinvested dividends and capital gains. The graphs are based on A-Class shares and H-Class shares only; performance for C-Class shares will vary due to differences in fee structures.

PERFORMANCE REPORT AND FUND PROFILE (Unaudited) | | March 31, 2011 |

EVENT DRIVEN AND DISTRESSED STRATEGIES FUND | | |
OBJECTIVE: Seeks to provide investment results that correspond to the performance of a specific benchmark that seeks to track the universe of event driven hedge funds (i.e., funds that seek to profit from the potential mispricings of securities in connection with specific corporate or market events). The Fund’s current benchmark is the Credit Suisse Event Driven Liquid Index (the “Underlying Index”).
Inception: June 30, 2010
The Fund was opened on June 30, 2010. The Event Driven and Distressed Strategies Fund H-Class performed strongly and was up 16.24% in the nine-month period from its inception through March 31, 2011. Its benchmark, the Credit Suisse Event Driven Liquid Index, returned 16.74% over the same period.
The Fund gains exposure to event driven and distressed situations through various exposures, such as merger arbitrage, high yield, equities and volatility. During the period, the Fund used derivatives, such as swaps, as the primary instrument to gain exposure to these factors. The results of derivatives use during the period were within our expectations and contributed to the Fund’s performance.
The main drivers of performance were from equity and high yield exposures. Equity exposures, through small cap equities and stocks of high yield companies, contributed more than 7% of the return during the period. High yield exposures, through high yield bonds and credit spreads, contributed just under 7% of the return. Merger arbitrage exposure added almost 3% of the return. There was no exposure to market volatility during the period.

ALTERNATIVE STRATEGIES FUND | | |
OBJECTIVE: Seeks to provide investment results that correspond to the performance of a specific benchmark that seeks to track the performance of a broad range of investable hedge fund alternatives. The Fund’s current benchmark is the Merrill Lynch Factor Model (the “Underlying Benchmark”).
Inception: June 30, 2010
The Fund was opened on June 30, 2010. The Alternative Strategies Fund H-Class performed well and was up 6.89% in the nine-month period from its inception through March 31, 2011. Its benchmark, the Merrill Lynch Factor Model, returned 7.78% over the same period.
The Fund gains exposure to alternative strategies, or hedge fund beta, through various domestic and international equity exposures and currency exposure. During the period, the Fund used derivatives, such as futures, as the primary instrument to gain exposure to these factors. The results of derivatives use during the period were within our expectations and contributed to the Fund’s performance.
At the start of the period, the Fund held long positions in domestic equities, international equities, emerging markets and the U.S. dollar. The only short position was to domestic small cap equities. Throughout the period, the Fund remained long international equities and emerging markets equities. By the end of the period, domestic large cap exposure had shifted to a short position and domestic small cap exposure had shifted to a long position. As well, currency exposure had also switched and the Fund was long the euro at the end of the period.
The main driver of positive performance was from emerging market equity exposure, which added almost 6% of return for the period. Other positive contributors were international equities (just over 3%) and domestic large cap equities (just over 2.5%). The main detractors to performance were through a short exposure to domestic small cap equities, which hurt performance by just over -2%, and being long the U.S. dollar relative to the euro, which hurt performance by just under -2%.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.

PERFORMANCE REPORT AND FUND PROFILE (Unaudited) | | March 31, 2011 |
LONG SHORT EQUITY STRATEGY FUND
OBJECTIVE: Seeks to provide investment results that correspond to the performance of a specific benchmark that seeks to track the performance of the universe of long/short equity hedge funds (i.e., funds that buy equities that are expected to increase in value and sell short equities that are expected to decrease in value). The Fund’s current benchmark is the Credit Suisse Long/Short Liquid Index (the “Underlying Index”).
Inception: June 30, 2010
The Fund was opened on June 30, 2010. The Long Short Equity Strategy Fund H-Class performed strongly and was up 13.92% in the nine-month period from its inception through March 31, 2011. Its benchmark, the Credit Suisse Long/Short Liquid Index, returned 14.64% over the same period.
The Fund gains exposure to long-short equity exposure through various investable market factors covering five base index factors, four style factors, and nine sector factors. During the period, the Fund used derivatives, such as futures, and exchange traded funds, as the primary instruments to gain exposure to these factors. The results of derivatives use during the period were within our expectations and contributed to the Fund’s performance.
The main driver of performance was exposures to the base factors, which contributed almost 13% of the return for the period. The sector factors contributed almost 2% to return and the style factors were slightly positive.
At the individual factor level, the top-performing factors were exposures to the U.S. broad large cap stocks, U.S. concentrated large cap stocks, emerging markets stocks, growth stocks and health care stocks. The individual factors that contributed negatively to performance were from short positions in value stocks, international large cap stocks and short positions in financials.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.

PERFORMANCE REPORT AND FUND PROFILE (Unaudited) | | March 31, 2011 |
LONG SHORT INTEREST RATE STRATEGY FUND
OBJECTIVE: Seeks to maximize total return by taking advantage of price movements in the U.S. Treasury bond market.
Inception: June 30, 2010
The Fund was opened on June 30, 2010. The Long Short Interest Rate Strategy Fund H-Class had positive return of 0.92% in the nine-month period from its inception through March 31, 2011. In comparison a long-only exposure to the Barclay’s Capital U.S. Aggregate Government Treasury Index for the same period would have resulted in a return of -0.15%.
The Fund attempts to capitalize on interest rate trends by using different duration targets. The Fund is able to have five signals: fully bullish, moderately bullish, neutral, moderately bearish and fully bearish. During the period, the Fund used derivatives, such as bond futures, as the primary instrument to gain its exposures. The results of derivatives use during the period were within our expectations and contributed to the Fund’s performance.
During the period and relative to the duration of the Barclay’s Capital U.S. Aggregate Government Treasury Index, the Fund had a fully bullish or moderately bullish duration position 11% of the time, a neutral duration position 35% of the time, and a fully bearish or moderately bearish duration position 54% of the time.
The main contributor to performance was during fully bearish periods when the Fund is short at twice the duration of the Barclay’s Capital U.S. Aggregate Government Treasury index. Fully bearish periods contributed almost 1% of the relative performance against a long-only investment in bonds. There was also a small positive contribution to return from being moderately bullish.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.

PERFORMANCE REPORT AND FUND PROFILE (Unaudited) | | March 31, 2011 |
EMERGING MARKETS 2x STRATEGY FUND
OBJECTIVE: Seeks to provide investment results that correlate to the performance of a specific benchmark on a daily basis. The Fund’s current benchmark is 200% of the performance of the BNY Mellon Emerging Markets 50 ADR Index (the “underlying index”). The Fund does not seek to achieve its investment objective over a period of time greater than one day.
Inception: October 29, 2010
The Fund began October 29, 2010. For the five-month period ended March 31, 2011, Emerging Markets 2x Strategy Fund maintained a daily correlation of over 99% to its benchmark of 200% of the daily price movement of the BNY Mellon Emerging Markets 50 ADR Index. Emerging Markets 2x Strategy Fund H-Class returned 7.76% while the BNY Mellon Emerging Markets 50 ADR Index returned 5.93% over the same period.
Emerging markets as a group have delivered strong returns for the past couple of years, and the International Monetary Fund said in December that emerging market economies survived the recent recession in better shape than advanced global economies. Still, emerging markets were troubled in early 2011 by geopolitical events and fears that too-fast growth could contribute to inflation and sharply rising interest rates. Many emerging market economies experienced higher food and energy prices, which economists said could abate later in 2011 as supply pressures ease. Growth of some larger economies, such as China and India, is also slowing to more sustainable levels as central banks conduct fiscal tightening to contain inflation.
Derivatives in the Fund were used to help provide exposure to the composition of the benchmark in the highest efficient manner and to provide leverage, not for hedging purposes. The results of derivatives use during the period were within our expectations and contributed to the Fund’s performance.
Due to the compounding of daily returns, leveraged and inverse funds’ returns over periods other than one day will likely differ in amount and possibly direction from the benchmark return for the same period. Investors should monitor their leveraged and inverse funds’ holdings to ensure that they are consistent with their strategies, as frequently as daily.
The effects of compounding may cause the longer-term correlation of the Fund to its benchmark to diminish. The apparent discrepancy between the leveraged and unleveraged indices is the result of compounding, which is described briefly on page 4 of this report.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.

PERFORMANCE REPORT AND FUND PROFILE (Unaudited) | March 31, 2011 |
INVERSE EMERGING MARKETS 2x STRATEGY FUND
OBJECTIVE: Seeks to provide investment results that correlate to the performance of a specific benchmark on a daily basis. The Fund’s current benchmark is 200% of the inverse (opposite) of the performance of the BNY Mellon Emerging Markets 50 ADR Index (the “underlying index”). The Fund does not seek to achieve its investment objective over a period of time greater than one day.
Inception: October 29, 2010
The Fund began October 29, 2010. For the five-month period ended March 31, 2011, Inverse Emerging Markets 2x Strategy Fund maintained a daily correlation of over 99% to its benchmark of -200% of the daily price movement of the BNY Mellon Emerging Markets 50 ADR Index. Inverse Emerging Markets 2x Strategy Fund H-Class returned -15.40% while the BNY Mellon Emerging Markets 50 ADR Index returned 5.93% over the same period.
Emerging markets as a group have delivered strong returns for the past couple of years, and the International Monetary Fund said in December that emerging market economies survived the recent recession in better shape than advanced global economies. Still, emerging markets were troubled in early 2011 by geopolitical events and fears that too-fast growth could contribute to inflation and sharply rising interest rates. Many emerging market economies experienced higher food and energy prices, which economists said could abate later in 2011 as supply pressures ease. Growth of some larger economies, such as China and India, is also slowing to more sustainable levels as central banks conduct fiscal tightening to contain inflation.
Derivatives in the Fund were used to help provide exposure to the composition of the benchmark in the highest efficient manner and to provide leverage, not for hedging purposes. The results of derivatives use during the period were within our expectations and contributed to the Fund’s performance.
Due to the compounding of daily returns, leveraged and inverse funds’ returns over periods other than one day will likely differ in amount and possibly direction from the benchmark return for the same period. Investors should monitor their leveraged and inverse funds’ holdings to ensure that they are consistent with their strategies, as frequently as daily.
The effects of compounding may cause the longer-term correlation of the Fund to its benchmark to diminish. The apparent discrepancy between the leveraged and unleveraged indices is the result of compounding, which is described briefly on page 4 of this report.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies Organization
The Rydex Series Funds (the “Trust”) is registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the“1940 Act”) as a non-diversified, open-ended investment company. The Trust offers eight separate classes of shares, Investor Class shares, Investor2 Class shares, Advisor Class shares, A-Class shares, C-Class shares, H-Class shares, Y-Class shares, and Institutional Class shares. C-Class shares have a 1% CDSC if shares are redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Sales of shares of each Class are made without a front-end sales charge at the net asset value per share, with the exception of A-Class shares. A-Class shares are sold at the net asset value, plus the applicable front-end sales charge. The sales charge varies depending on the amount purchased, but will not exceed 4.75%. A-Class share purchases of $1 million or more are exempt from the front-end sales charge but have a 1% CDSC if shares are redeemed within 12 months of purchase.
At March 31, 2011, the Trust consisted of fifty-eight separate funds. This report covers the Alternatives Funds (the “Funds”), while the other funds are contained in separate reports.
The Alternative Strategies Allocation Fund is a “fund of funds,” which means that the Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing principally in a diversified portfolio of affiliated and unaffiliated funds (the “underlying funds”) instead of individual securities.
As of March 31, 2011, only A-Class, C-Class, H-Class and Institutional Class Shares had been issued in the Funds. Prior to September 13, 2010, all classes were subject to a 1% redemption fee when shares were redeemed within 30 days of purchase. Effective September 13, 2010, the redemption fee was removed.
American Independence Financial Services, LLC, serves as investment sub-adviser to the Long Short Interest Rate Strategy Fund. The Sub-Advisor constructs and provides the Advisor with the Long Short Interest Rate Strategy Fund’s investment model.
Security Global Investors (“SGI”) provides advisory services and Rydex Fund Services, LLC (“RFS”) provides transfer agent, administrative, and accounting services to the Trust. Rydex Distributors, LLC (“RDL”) acts as principal underwriter for the Trust. SGI, RFS and RDL are affiliated entities.
Significant Accounting Policies
The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and are consistently followed by the Trust. This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. All time references are based on Eastern Time.
A. Equity securities listed on an exchange (New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) or American Stock Exchange) are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the close of business on the NYSE, usually 4:00 p.m. on the valuation date. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ market system are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price on the valuation date.
The value of futures contracts purchased and sold by the Trust is accounted for using the unrealized gain or loss on the contracts that is determined by marking the contracts to their current settlement prices. Futures contracts are valued at the 4:00 p.m. price on the valuation date. In the event that the exchange for a specific futures contract closes earlier than 4:00 p.m., the futures contract is valued at the Official Settlement Price of the exchange. However, the underlying securities from which the futures contract value is derived are monitored until 4:00 p.m. to determine if fair valuation would provide a more accurate valuation.
The value of domestic equity index, corporate bond index and credit default swap agreements entered into by a Fund is accounted for using the unrealized gain or loss on the agreements that is determined by marking the agreements to the last quoted value of the index that the swap pertains to at the close of the NYSE. The swap’s market value is then adjusted to include dividends accrued, financing charges and/or interest associated with the swap agreement.
Debt securities with a maturity greater than 60 days at acquisition are valued at the last traded fill price at the close of business, unless no trades were executed. If there are no trades, a debt security is valued at the reported bid price, at the close of business. Short-term debt securities, with a maturity of 60 days at acquisition or less and repurchase agreements are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
Open-end investment companies (“Mutual Funds”) are valued at their NAV as of the close of business on the valuation date. Exchange Traded Funds (“ETFs”) and closed-end investment companies are valued at the last quoted sales price.
Investments, for which market quotations are not readily available, are fair valued as determined in good faith by SGI under the direction of the Board of Trustees using
64 | THE RYDEX | SGI SERIES FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
methods established or ratified by the Board of Trustees. These methods include, but are not limited to: (i) general information as to how these securities and assets trade; (ii) in connection with futures contracts thereupon, and other derivative investments, information as to how (a) these contracts and other derivative investments trade in the futures or other derivative markets, respectively, and (b) the securities underlying these contracts and other derivative investments trade in the cash market; and (iii) other information and considerations, including current values in related-markets.
B. Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded using the identified cost basis. Proceeds from lawsuits related to investment holdings are recorded as realized gains in the respective Fund. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of applicable taxes withheld by foreign countries. Taxable non-cash dividends are recorded as dividend income.
Interest income, including amortization of premiums and accretion of discount, is accrued on a daily basis. Distributions received from investments in REITs and underlying funds are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distribution by the issuer.
C. Distributions of net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
D. When a Fund engages in a short sale of a security, an amount equal to the proceeds is reflected as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the market value of the short sale. A Fund maintains a segregated account of cash and/or securities as collateral for short sales. A Fund is exposed to market risk based on the amount, if any, that the market value of the security exceeds the market value of the securities in the segregated account.
Fees, if any, paid to brokers to borrow securities in connection with short sales are considered part of the cost of short sale transactions. In addition, a Fund must pay out the dividend rate of the equity or coupon rate of the treasury obligation to the lender and record this as an expense. Short dividends or interest expense is a cost associated with the investment objective of short sales transactions, rather than an operational cost associated with the day-to-day management of any mutual fund.
The Funds may also receive rebate income from the broker resulting from the investment of the proceeds from securities sold short or incur rebate charges to borrow certain securities.
E. Certain funds entered into stock and bond index futures contracts. Futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities at a specified future delivery date and at a specific price. Upon entering into a contract, these Funds deposit and maintain as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is effected. Pursuant to the contract, the Funds agree to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by the Funds as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. During the year ended March 31, 2011, the following Funds entered into futures contracts for the following purposes:

F. Certain Funds entered into domestic equity index and corporate bond index swap agreements, which are over-the-counter contracts in which one party agrees to make periodic payments based on the change in market value of a specified equity security, basket of equity securities, equity index or corporate bond index, in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate or the change in market value of a different equity security, basket of equity securities, equity index or corporate bond index. Swap agreements are used to obtain exposure to a security or market without owning or taking physical custody of securities. The swap agreements are marked-to-market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss. Payments received or made as a result of an agreement or termination of the agreement are recognized as realized gains or losses.
Event Driven and Distressed Strategies Fund entered into credit default swap agreements where one party, the protection buyer, makes an upfront or periodic payment

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
to a counterparty, the protection seller, in exchange for the right to receive a contingent payment. The maximum amount of the payment may equal the notional amount, at par, of the underlying index or security as a result of a related credit event. Upfront payments received or made by a Fund, are amortized over the expected life of the agreement. Periodic payments received or paid by a Fund are recorded as realized gains or losses. The credit default contracts are marked-to-market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss. Payments received or made as a result of a credit event or termination of the contract are recognized, net of a proportional amount of the upfront payment, as realized gains or losses.
During the year ended March 31, 2011, the following Funds entered into swap agreements for the following purposes:

| | Index | | |

|

G. The Funds may leave cash overnight in their cash account with the custodian, U.S. Bank. Periodically, a Fund may have cash due to the custodian bank as an overdraft balance. A fee is incurred on this overdraft, calculated by multiplying the overdraft by a rate based on the federal funds rate. Segregated cash with the broker is held as collateral for investments in derivative instruments such as futures contracts and index swap agreements.
H. Interest and dividend income, most expenses, all realized gains and losses, and all unrealized gains and losses are allocated to the Classes based upon the value of the outstanding shares in each Class. Certain costs, such as distribution fees related to A-Class shares and H-Class shares and service and distribution fees related to C-Class shares, are charged directly to such Classes. In addition, certain expenses have been allocated to the individual funds in the Trust on a pro rata basis upon the respective aggregate net assets of each fund included in the Trust.
I. Throughout the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds and/or their affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
2. Financial Instruments
As part of its investment strategy, the Funds utilized short sales and a variety of derivative instruments including futures and swap agreements. These investments involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk and risks in excess of the amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
A short sale is a transaction in which a Fund sells a security it does not own. If the security sold short decreases in price between the time the Fund sells the security and closes its short position, that Fund will realize a gain on the transaction. Conversely, if the security increases in price during the period, that Fund will realize a loss on the transaction. The risk of such price increases is the principal risk of engaging in short sales.
There are several risks associated with the use of swap agreements that are different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions, due to the fact they could be considered illiquid. Although the Trust will not enter into any swap agreement unless SGI believes that the other party to the transaction is creditworthy, the Funds bear the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of the agreement counterparty.
There are several risks associated with credit default swaps. Credit default swaps involve the exchange of a fixed-rate premium for protection against the loss in value of an underlying debt instrument in the event of a defined credit event (such as payment default or bankruptcy). Under the terms of the swap, one party acts as a “guarantor,” receiving a periodic payment that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional principal amount. In return, the party agrees to purchase the notional amount of the underlying instrument, at par, if a credit event occurs during the term of the swap. A Fund may enter into credit default swaps in which that Fund or its counterparty acts as guarantor. By acting as the guarantor of a swap, that Fund assumes the market and credit risk of the underlying instrument, including liquidity and loss of value.
In conjunction with the use of short sales, futures, and swap agreements, the Funds are required to maintain collateral in various forms. The Funds use, where appropriate, depending on the financial instrument utilized and the broker involved, margin deposits at the broker, cash and/or securities segregated at the custodian bank, discount notes, or the repurchase agreements allocated to each Fund.
The risks inherent in the use of short sales, futures contracts, and swap agreements, include i) adverse
66 | THE RYDEX | SGI SERIES FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
changes in the value of such instruments; ii) imperfect correlation between the price of the instruments and movements in the price of the underlying securities, indices, or futures contracts; iii) the possible absence of a liquid secondary market for any particular instrument at any time; and iv) the potential of counterparty default. The Trust has established counterparty credit guidelines and enters into transactions only with financial institutions of investment grade or better. The Trust monitors the counterparty credit risk.
There are several risks associated with exposure to foreign currencies, foreign issuers and emerging markets. A Fund’s indirect and direct exposure to foreign currencies subjects the Fund to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, or, in the case of short positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates and the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the U.S. or abroad. In addition, the Fund may incur transaction costs in connection with conversions between various currencies. The Fund may, but is not obligated to, engage in currency hedging transactions, which generally involve buying currency forward, options or futures contracts. However, not all currency risk may be effectively hedged, and in some cases the costs of hedging techniques may outweigh expected benefits. In such instances, the value of securities denominated in foreign currencies can change significantly when foreign currencies strengthen or weaken relative to the U.S. dollar.
Certain Funds may invest in securities of foreign companies directly, or in financial instruments, such as ADRs and exchange-traded funds, which are indirectly linked to the performance of foreign issuers. Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market. Investing in securities of foreign companies directly, or in financial instruments that are indirectly linked to the performance of foreign issuers, may involve risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. issuers. The value of securities denominated in foreign currencies, and of dividends from such securities, can change significantly when foreign currencies strengthen or weaken relative to the U.S. dollar. Foreign securities markets generally have less trading volume and less liquidity than U.S. markets, and prices in some foreign markets may fluctuate more than those of securities traded on U.S. markets. Many foreign countries lack accounting and disclosure standards comparable to those that apply to U.S. companies, and it may be more difficult to obtain reliable information regarding a foreign issuer’s financial condition and operations. Transaction costs and costs associated with custody services are generally higher for foreign securities than they are for U.S. securities. Some foreign governments levy withholding taxes against dividend and interest income. Although in some countries portions of these taxes are recoverable, the non-recovered portion will reduce the income received by the Fund.
Emerging markets, which consist of countries that have an emerging stock market as defined by Standard & Poor’s®, countries or markets with low- to middle-income economies as classified by the World Bank, and other countries or markets with similar characteristics as determined by SGI, can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market. Emerging markets can be subject to greater social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile. As a result, the securities of emerging market issuers may present market, credit, currency, liquidity, legal, political and other risks different from, or greater than, the risks of investing in securities of developed foreign countries. In addition, the risks associated with investing in a narrowly defined geographic area are generally more pronounced with respect to investments in emerging market countries. The Fund may also be subject to this risk with respect to its investments in derivatives or other securities or financial instruments whose returns are related to the returns of emerging market securities.
Because the value of a credit or equity-linked derivative investment typically is based upon the price movements of the credit instrument, equity security or credit or equity index, or some other readily measurable economic variable, the value of credit or equity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, volatility of the benchmark, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or security, such as international economic, political and regulatory developments or significant changes in the credit-worthiness of an issuer.
3. Derivative Investment Holdings Categorized by Risk Exposure
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires 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.
During the year ended March 31, 2011, certain Funds sought to gain exposure to their respective benchmarks by investing in financial-linked derivative instruments including futures and swap agreements.
The following table represents the notional amount of derivative instruments outstanding, as an approximate percentage of the Funds’ net assets on a daily basis, while the risk to the Fund is limited to the profit earned on such derivatives:

4. Fees And Other Transactions With Affiliates
Under the terms of an investment advisory contract, the Trust pays SGI investment advisory fees calculated at an annualized rate of 0.90% of the average daily net assets of the U.S. Long Short Momentum Fund, Event Driven and Distressed Strategies Fund, Alternative Strategies Fund, Long Short Equity Strategy Fund, Emerging Markets 2x Strategy Fund and the Inverse Emerging Markets 2x Strategy Fund, and 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Long Short Interest Rate Strategy Fund. The Alternative Strategies Allocation Fund does not pay SGI an investment advisory fee.
SGI has contractually agreed to reduce fees and/or reimburse expenses for the Event Driven and Distressed Strategies Fund, Alternatives Strategies Fund, and Long Short Equity Strategy Fund to the extent necessary to keep net operating expenses for A-Class, C-Class, H-Class, and Institutional Class Shares (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, dividends on securities sold short, and extraordinary expenses (“Excluded Expenses”) from exceeding 1.90%, 2.65%, 1.90%, and 1.65%, respectively, of the Fund’s A-Class, C-Class, H-Class, and Institutional Class Shares average daily net assets until July 31, 2011. The Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement includes Excluded Expenses and, thus, from time to time may be higher than 1.90%, 2.65%, 1.90%, and 1.65%, respectively. This Agreement may be terminated: (i) by the Board, for any reason at any time, or (ii) by the Advisor, upon ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to the Trust, effective as of the close of the business on the last day of the then-current one-year period.
THE RYDEX | SGI SERIES FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT | 69
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
For the period ended March 31, 2011, SGI voluntarily agreed to reimburse a portion of the licensing fee charged to the Emerging Markets 2x Strategy Fund and Inverse Emerging Markets 2x Strategy Fund.
RFS provides transfer agent and administrative services to the Funds for fees calculated at an annualized rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each Fund.
RFS provides accounting services to the Trust calculated at an annualized rate of 0.10% on the first $250 million of the average daily net assets, 0.075% on the next $250 million of the average daily net assets, 0.05% on the next $250 million of the average daily net assets, and 0.03% on the average daily net assets over $750 million of each Fund.
RFS engages external service providers to perform other necessary services for the Trust, such as audit and accounting related services, legal services, custody, printing and mailing, etc., on a pass through basis. Such expenses vary from Fund to Fund and are allocated to the Funds based on relative net assets.
The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan applicable to A-Class shares and H-Class shares for which RDL and other firms that provide distribution and/or shareholder services (“Service Providers”) may receive compensation. If a Service Provider provides distribution services, the Funds will pay distribution fees to RDL at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of average daily net assets, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. RDL, in turn, will pay the Service Provider out of its fees. RDL may, at its discretion, retain a portion of such payments to compensate itself for distribution services.
The Trust has adopted a separate Distribution and Shareholder Services Plan applicable to its C-Class shares that allows the Funds to pay annual distribution and service fees of 0.75% of the Alternative Strategies Allocation Fund and 1.00% of the remaining Funds’ C-Class shares average daily net assets. The annual 0.25% service fee compensates the shareholder’s financial advisor for providing on-going services to the shareholder. The annual distribution fee of 0.75% for the Funds reimburses RDL for paying the shareholder’s financial advisor an ongoing sales commission. RDL advances the first year’s service and distribution fees to the financial advisor. RDL retains the service and distribution fees on accounts with no authorized dealer of record.
For the year ended March 31, 2011, RDL retained sales charges of $606,415 relating to sales of A-Class shares of the Trust.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also officers of SGI, RFS and RDL.
5. Federal Income Tax Information
The Funds intend to comply with the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and will distribute substantially all net investment income and capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax provision has been recorded.
Tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns are evaluated to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (fiscal years 2008 — 2011), and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for losses deferred due to wash sales, losses deferred due to post-October losses and excise tax regulations.
Permanent book and tax basis differences, if any, will result in reclassifications. This may include net operating losses not utilized during the current period, the expiration of capital loss carryforward, and the utilization of earnings and profits distributed to the shareholders on redemption of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. Any undistributed ordinary income or long-term capital gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.

6. Repurchase Agreements
The Funds transfer uninvested cash balances into a single joint account, the daily aggregate balance of which is invested in one or more repurchase agreements collateralized by obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government Agencies. The collateral is in the possession of the Fund’s custodian and is evaluated to ensure that its market value exceeds at a minimum, 102% of the original face amount of the repurchase agreements. Each Fund holds a pro rata share of the collateral based on the dollar amount of the repurchase agreement entered into by each Fund.
The repurchase agreements and collateral values executed by the joint account and outstanding at March 31, 2011, were as follows:

In the event of counterparty default, the Funds have the right to collect the collateral to offset losses incurred. There is potential loss to the Funds in the event the Funds are delayed or prevented from exercising their rights to dispose of the collateral securities, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Funds seek to assert their rights. The Funds’ investment advisor, acting under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, reviews the value of the collateral and the creditworthiness of those banks and dealers with which the Funds enter into repurchase agreements to evaluate potential risks.

7. 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 is utilized to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 — | | quoted prices in active markets for identical investments. |
|
Level 2 — | | other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). |
|
Level 3 — | | significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments). |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
The following table summarizes the inputs used to value the Funds’ net assets at March 31, 2011:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

The Funds adopted updated provisions surrounding fair value measurements and disclosures effective April 1, 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 roll forward rather than as one net number.
Transfers between investment Levels may occur as the markets fluctuate and/or the availability of data used in an investment’s valuation changes. The Funds recognized transfers between the Levels as of the beginning of the period. During the year ended March 31, 2011, U.S. Long Short Momentum Fund had a security transfer into Level 3 from Level 1 as a result of trading on the security being halted. There were no other securities that transferred between levels.

The maximum loan amount outstanding per Fund should be the lesser of: an amount which, when added to the total of other outstanding loan amounts under this agreement, exceeds the total line of credit, 331/3% of a Fund’s net assets, 331/3% of a Fund’s assets held by the Custodian or 331/3% of the sum of a Fund’s securities on any given day. This line of credit expires on June 15, 2011. On March 31, 2011, the U.S. Long Short Momentum Fund borrowed $815,000 under this agreement. As of and for the year ended March 31, 2011, the remaining Funds did not have any other borrowings under this agreement.
10. Name Changes
On May 28, 2010, the All-Cap Opportunity Fund changed its Fund name to the U.S. Long Short Momentum Fund. The name change did not have any impact on the Fund’s investment objectives, tickers, or CUSIPS.
11. Acquisition of Security Benefit Corporation
Guggenheim SBC Holdings, LLC (“Guggenheim SBC Holdings”), an investor group managed by Guggenheim Partners, LLC (“Guggenheim”), acquired control of Security Benefit Corporation (“SBC”), the parent company of Rydex Advisors, LLC (formerly PADCO Advisors, Inc.), the Funds’ investment adviser (the “Investment Advisor”), pursuant to an agreement entered between SBC and Guggenheim SBC Holdings. Under the agreement, Guggenheim SBC Holdings received a 100% ownership stake in SBC and consequently acquired control of the Investment Advisor (the “Purchase Transaction”). Guggenheim is a global, independent, privately held, diversified financial services firm with more than $100 billion in assets under supervision. The Purchase Transaction did not result in material changes to the day-to-day management and operations of the Funds or any increase in fees. The Purchase Transaction closed on July 30, 2010.
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the closing of the Purchase Transaction had the effect of terminating the Funds’ investment advisory agreement with the Investment Advisor and any investment sub-advisory agreements entered on behalf of a Fund (together, the “Previous Agreements”). New investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements
74 | THE RYDEX | SGI SERIES FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (concluded)
(“New Agreements”) were approved by Fund shareholders in a series of special meetings of shareholders. The terms of the New Agreements are substantially identical to the corresponding Previous Agreements, except with respect to the date of execution.
12. Distributor and Transfer Agent Change
Effective July 30, 2010, the Funds’ distributor, Rydex Distributors, Inc., a Maryland corporation, became Rydex Distributors, LLC, a Kansas limited liability company, and Rydex Fund Services, Inc., the Funds’ transfer agent, became Rydex Fund Services, LLC, a Kansas limited liability company.
13. Investment Advisor Merger
Effective January 3, 2011, Rydex Advisors, LLC, the Funds’ investment advisor was merged with and into Security Investors, LLC, which operates under the name SGI.
The foregoing internal restructuring did not affect the investment advisory services rendered to the Funds, which continue to be managed on a day-to-day basis by the same teams of portfolio managers. The investment philosophies, strategies, and processes of the Funds also remained the same.
In order to implement the restructuring, technical amendments were made to the Funds’ investment advisory agreement with Rydex Advisors, LLC, in order to reflect the change of the identity of the investment advisor. No other changes were made to the investment advisory agreement of the Funds, and the fees and expenses of the Funds remained the same.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders
of Rydex Series Funds:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of the U.S. Long Short Momentum Fund, Alternative Strategies Allocation Fund, Event Driven and Distressed Strategies Fund, Alternative Strategies Fund, Long Short Equity Strategy Fund, Long Short Interest Rate Strategy Fund, Emerging Markets 2x Strategy Fund, and Inverse Emerging Markets 2x Strategy Fund (eight of the series constituting the Rydex Series Funds) (the “Funds”) as of March 31, 2011, and the related statements of operations, statements of changes in net assets, and financial highlights for each of the years or periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2011, by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent of underlying funds, and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the above listed Funds at March 31, 2011, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and their financial highlights for each of the years or periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

LETTER TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The U.S. enjoyed economic recovery through the 12 months ended March 31, 2011, despite the poor housing picture and slow-growing labor market. U.S. stocks emerged from the 2008-09 downturn in early 2010, slowed only at mid-year by European debt problems and the worry that expiration of U.S. government stimulus programs might lead to a double-dip recession. Concern that the recovery was not self-sustaining led the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) to undertake a second round of quantitative easing in the last part of 2010 to keep long-term rates low and spur economic growth.
Stocks responded to the infusion of liquidity by rising nearly 25% from the end of August through March 2011, then stumbling after rising prices for oil and many other commodities accompanied concerns that inflation might get out of hand. The market’s 2011 gains proceeded to be wiped out by political unrest in the Mid East, renewed worries about the sovereign debt of peripheral European countries and a devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Investor belief that these situations were under control, however, sparked a rebound that helped broad U.S. market measures finish the first quarter moderately higher, and 15% or more above the levels seen 12 months earlier.
Investors searching for higher yields increasingly took on credit risk over the past 12 months, which was reflected in good performance across most fixed income sectors, particularly investment grade corporate bonds and high-yield bonds. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury has been climbing since last fall, as safe-haven buying subsided except during market shocks like the Japanese earthquake.
The Fed said in March 2011 that the economy was on firmer footing and that the run-up in commodity prices would not lead to a sustained increase in inflation. It stuck with its planned purchase of up to $600 billion in government bonds, slated to end in June 2011, and—as it has since December 2008—left short-term rates unchanged.
Many U.S. investors are preparing for the shift away from the bond-buying strategy, which they anticipate could slow or halt the stock market rally and introduce a period of volatility. Investors in global markets, meanwhile, are increasingly concerned about the potential for soaring food and energy prices to derail global economic recovery.
The accumulation of shocks, ranging from higher oil prices to turmoil in the Mid East to the effects of the natural disaster in Japan, has led to a lowering of global growth forecasts for 2011. These overseas events pounded the U.S. economy in the form of higher fuel prices, supply-chain disruptions and financial market volatility, also leading to downgrades in estimates of U.S. GDP growth for the first quarter and entire year of 2011. Continuing weakness in the housing market is still plaguing economic growth. The March labor market report showed job growth was picking up, but flat growth in wages and higher fuel and food costs kept consumers on edge. Increases in energy and food prices seem not yet to have spilled into broader inflation measures. Consumer spending is growing, although slowly, while corporate profits continue to rise impressively.
Geopolitical events and improving economic conditions have generally pushed commodity prices higher over the past 12 months. In the first quarter of 2011, the price of a barrel of oil rose above $100 for the first time since 2008. The higher price of oil as a production cost caused the prices of many metals to slip in early 2011, aided by a pullback in demand due to the Japanese quake or China’s efforts to slow lending. Gold spent much of the first quarter of 2011 in negative territory, but has turned in a spectacular climb over the past 12 months, closing out the period at a record high of $1,438 an ounce.
The dollar gained on the euro in 2010, reflecting concern about Europe’s crisis in sovereign debt, but the rally did not carry over into the first quarter of 2011, even though the Mid East was in turmoil, a

LETTER TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS (concluded)
nuclear crisis overtook Japan and Portugal was pointing toward default. In fact, the dollar in the first quarter of 2011 lost out to many currency counterparts around the world, gaining only slightly against the yen. Since the trade-weighted index for the U.S. dollar peaked last summer, it has fallen 15%, as investors seemed to fear the deleterious effects of continuous Fed easing.
U.S. economic growth, while not robust, has proven strong enough to overcome some major shocks in the first quarter of 2011. The government stimulus package and quantitative easing program have revived the economy, and optimism is growing 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 poised to recover. For the rest of 2011, investors face interest rate risk arising from inflationary monetary policy and deteriorating credit quality in the industrialized world. Energy shortages that could put upward pressure on the prices of oil, natural gas and coal pose perhaps the largest risk to economic growth.
At Rydex|SGI, our products are designed to help investors navigate uncertain markets, including hedging or augmenting exposures to the equity or fixed-income markets, or introducing alternative assets and strategies to portfolios for overall diversification1. Thank you for the trust you place in us.

ABOUT SHAREHOLDERS’ FUND EXPENSES (Unaudited)
All mutual funds have operating expenses and it is important for our shareholders to understand the impact of costs on their investments. Shareholders of a Fund incur two types of costs: (i) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (ii) ongoing costs, including management fees, administrative services, and shareholder reports, among others. These ongoing costs, or operating expenses, are deducted from a fund’s gross income and reduce the investment return of the fund.
A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets, which is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help investors understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period beginning September 30, 2010 and ending March 31, 2011.
The following tables illustrate a Fund’s costs in two ways:
Table 1. Based on actual Fund return. This section helps investors estimate the actual expenses paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return, and the fourth column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. Investors may use the information here, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses paid over the period. Simply divide the Fund’s 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 provided under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Table 2. Based on hypothetical 5% return. This section is intended to help investors compare a Fund’s cost with those of other mutual funds. The table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses paid during the period. The example is useful in making comparisons because the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on the 5% return. Investors can assess a Fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Certain retirement plans such as IRA, SEP, Roth IRA and 403(b), Rydex prototype money purchase plan and profit sharing plan accounts are charged an annual $15 maintenance fee. Upon liquidating a retirement account, a $15 account closing fee will be taken from the proceeds of the redemption.
The calculations illustrated above assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.
Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs which may be incurred by a Fund.

ALL-ASSET CONSERVATIVE STRATEGY FUND
OBJECTIVE: Primarily seeks preservation of capital and, secondarily, seeks long-term growth of capital.
Inception: June 30, 2006
The Fed was the dominant force in the market for the past 12 months. The year 2010 began with the break out of the sovereign debt crisis in Europe, and equity markets fell off on the news. After a brief recovery during earnings season, the markets were reminded of the European crisis and fell off again. However, the Fed’s announcement of its second quantitative easing policy changed the market sentiment. Beginning in late August, sentiment moved to risk-on. In the meantime, macroeconomic numbers showed the economy was improving. Despite the emergence of the Ireland crisis later and the crisis in other European countries still lingering, the equity and commodities markets ignored these developments, and more than covered the losses from earlier in the year. Short-term bond yields late in the year touched record-low levels. Alternative investment strategies did not shine in this environment, and some momentum strategies that were designed to capture trends quicker actually lost money in the market swings. The economy continued its slow recovery in the first quarter of 2011, as equity markets benefited from extensive liquidity.
For the one-year period ended March 31, 2011, the All-Asset Conservative Strategy Fund H-Class returned 7.85%, compared with its benchmark (32% Russell 3000® Index, 8% MSCI EAFE Index and 60% Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index), which ended the year at 9.32%. In the whole period, the Small Cap Growth Fund, Mid Cap Growth Fund and Small Cap Value Fund contributed the most to performance. The International Long Short Select Fund, Equity Market Neutral Fund and Managed Futures Strategy Fund contributed the least to performance.
Derivatives in the Fund are used to provide the most efficient exposure to the components of the blended benchmark, as well as to provide liquidity. The results of derivatives use during the period were within our expectations and contributed to the Fund’s performance.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.

PERFORMANCE REPORT AND FUND PROFILE (Unaudited) | | March 31, 2011 |
ALL-ASSET MODERATE STRATEGY FUND
OBJECTIVE: Primarily seeks growth of capital and, secondarily, seeks preservation of capital.
Inception: June 30, 2006
The Fed was the dominant force in the market for the past 12 months. The year 2010 began with the break out of the sovereign debt crisis in Europe, and equity markets fell off on the news. After a brief recovery during earnings season, the markets were reminded of the European crisis and fell off again. However, the Fed’s announcement of its second quantitative easing policy changed the market sentiment. Beginning in late August, sentiment moved to risk-on. In the meantime, macroeconomic numbers showed the economy was improving. Despite the emergence of the Ireland crisis later and the crisis in other European countries still lingering, the equity and commodities markets ignored these developments, and more than covered the losses from earlier in the year. Short-term bond yields late in the year touched record-low levels. Alternative investment strategies did not shine in this environment, and some momentum strategies that were designed to capture trends quicker actually lost money in the market swings. The economy continued its slow recovery in the first quarter of 2011, as equity markets benefited from extensive liquidity.
For the one-year period ended March 31, 2011, the All-Asset Moderate Strategy Fund H-Class returned 9.39%, compared with its benchmark (48% Russell 3000® Index, 12% MSCI EAFE Index and 40% Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index), which ended the year at 11.61%. In the whole period, the Small Cap Growth Fund, Mid Cap Growth Fund and Small Cap Value Fund contributed the most to performance. The International Long Short Select Fund, Equity Market Neutral Fund and Managed Futures Strategy Fund contributed the least to performance.
Derivatives in the Fund are used to provide the most efficient exposure to the components of the blended benchmark, as well as to provide liquidity. The results of derivatives use during the period were within our expectations and contributed to the Fund’s performance.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.

PERFORMANCE REPORT AND FUND PROFILE (Unaudited) | | March 31, 2011 |
ALL-ASSET AGGRESSIVE STRATEGY FUND
OBJECTIVE: Seeks growth of capital.
Inception: June 30, 2006
The Fed was the dominant force in the market for the past 12 months. The year 2010 began with the break out of the sovereign debt crisis in Europe, and equity markets fell off on the news. After a brief recovery during earnings season, the markets were reminded of the European crisis and fell off again. However, the Fed’s announcement of its second quantitative easing policy changed the market sentiment. Beginning in late August, sentiment moved to risk-on. In the meantime, macroeconomic numbers showed the economy was improving. Despite the emergence of the Ireland crisis later and the crisis in other European countries still lingering, the equity and commodities markets ignored these developments, and more than covered the losses from earlier in the year. Short-term bond yields late in the year touched record-low levels. Alternative investment strategies did not shine in this environment, and some momentum strategies that were designed to capture trends quicker actually lost money in the market swings. The economy continued its slow recovery in the first quarter of 2011, as equity markets benefited from extensive liquidity.
For the one-year period ended March 31, 2011, the All-Asset Aggressive Strategy Fund H-Class returned 12.31%, compared with its benchmark (64% Russell 3000® Index, 16% MSCI EAFE Index and 20% Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index), which ended the year at 14.15%. In the whole period, the Small Cap Growth Fund, Mid Cap Growth Fund and Small Cap Value Fund contributed the most to performance. The International Long Short Select Fund, Equity Market Neutral Fund and Managed Futures Strategy Fund contributed the least to performance.
Derivatives in the Fund are used to provide the most efficient exposure to the components of the blended benchmark, as well as to provide liquidity. The results of derivatives use during the period were within our expectations and contributed to the Fund’s performance.
Performance displayed represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
The Rydex Series Funds (the “Trust”) is registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) as a non-diversified, open-ended investment company. The Trust offers eight separate classes of shares, Investor Class shares, Investor2 Class shares, Advisor Class shares, A-Class shares, C-Class shares, H-Class shares, Institutional Class and Y-Class shares. C-Class shares have a 1% CDSC if shares are redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Sales of shares of each Class are made without a sales charge at the net asset value per share, with the exception of A-Class shares. A-Class shares are sold at net asset value, plus the applicable front-end sales charge. The sales charge varies depending on the amount purchased, but will not exceed 4.75%. A-Class share purchases of $1 million or more are exempt from the front-end sales charge but have a 1% CDSC if shares are redeemed within 12 months of purchase.
At March 31, 2011, the Trust consisted of fifty-eight separate funds. This report covers the Asset Allocation Funds (the “Funds”), while the other funds are contained in separate reports.
Each Fund is a “fund of funds,” which means that each Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in a combination of mutual funds (the underlying funds), within the same group of affiliated investment companies and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) instead of in individual securities. The underlying funds are advised by Security Investors, LLC (doing business as “Security Global Investors” (“SGI”)). SGI is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Security Benefit Corporation.
At March 31, 2011, only A-Class, C-Class and H-Class shares have been issued by the Funds. Prior to September 13, 2010, all classes were subject to a 1% redemption fee when shares were redeemed within 30 days of purchase. Effective September 13, 2010, the redemption fee was removed.
SGI provides advisory services and Rydex Fund Services, LLC (“RFS”) provides transfer agent, administrative and accounting services to the Trust. Rydex Distributors, LLC (“RDL”) acts as principal underwriter for the Trust. SGI, RFS and RDL are affiliated entities.
Significant Accounting Policies
The following significant accounting policies and the preparation of financial statements are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and are consistently followed by the Trust. This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. All time references are based on Eastern Time.
A. The underlying funds are valued at their Net Asset Value per share (“NAV”) as of the close of business, usually 4:00 p.m. on the valuation date. Short-term securities with a maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
B. The value of futures contracts purchased and sold by the Trust is accounted for using the unrealized gain or loss on the contracts that is determined by marking the contracts to their current settlement prices. Financial futures contracts are valued at the 4:00 p.m. price on the valuation date. In the event that the exchange for a specific futures contract closes earlier than 4:00 pm, the futures contract is valued at the Official Settlement Price of the exchange. However, the underlying securities from which the futures contract value is derived are monitored until 4:00 p.m. to determine if fair valuation would provide a more accurate valuation.
C. Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded using the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of applicable taxes withheld by foreign countries. Taxable non-cash dividends are recorded as dividend income. Interest income, including amortization of premiums and accretion of discount, is accrued on a daily basis. Distributions received from investments in the underlying funds are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distribution by the issuer.
D. Interest and dividend income, most expenses, all realized gains and losses, and all unrealized gains and losses are allocated to the classes based upon the value of the outstanding shares in each class. Certain costs, such as distribution and service fees related to C-Class shares, are charged directly to such class. In addition, certain expenses have been allocated to the individual funds in the Trust on a pro rata basis upon the respective aggregate net assets of each fund included in the Trust.
E. The Funds invested in equity and interest rate futures contracts for liquidity and index exposure. Futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities at a specified future delivery date and at a specific price. Upon entering into a contract, a Fund deposits and
THE RYDEX|SGI SERIES TRUST ANNUAL REPORT | 29
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
maintains as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is effected. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
F. Distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
G. Throughout the normal course of business, the Funds and the underlying funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
2. Financial Instruments
As part of their investment strategies, the underlying funds may utilize short sales and a variety of derivative instruments including, options, futures, options on futures, structured notes and swap agreements. These investments involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk and risks in excess of the amounts reflected in the underlying funds’ NAVs.
The Funds are subject to a fund of funds risk. By investing in the underlying funds indirectly through the Fund, an investor will incur not only a proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying funds held by the Fund (including operating costs and management fees), but also expenses of the Fund. Consequently, an investment in the Fund entails more direct and indirect expenses than a direct investment in the underlying funds.
In conjunction with the use of futures contracts, the Funds are required to maintain collateral in various forms. The Funds use, where appropriate, depending on the financial instrument utilized and the broker involved, margin deposits at the broker, cash and/or securities segregated at the custodian bank, discount notes, or the repurchase agreements allocated to each Fund.
The risks inherent in the use of futures contracts include i) adverse changes in the value of such instruments; ii) imperfect correlation between the price of the instruments and movements in the price of the underlying securities, indices, or futures contracts; iii) the possible absence of a liquid secondary market for any particular instrument at any time; and iv) the potential of counter-party default. The Trust has established counterparty credit guidelines and enters into transactions only with financial institutions of investment grade or better. The Trust monitors the counterparty credit risk.
3. Derivative Investment Holdings Categorized by Risk Exposure
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require 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.
During the year ended March 31, 2011, the Funds sought to gain exposure to their respective benchmarks by investing in equity and interest rate derivative instruments. The following table represents the notional amount of derivative instruments outstanding, as an approximate percentage of the Funds’ net assets on a daily basis, while the risk to the Fund is limited to the profit earned on such derivatives:

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
SGI manages the investment and reinvestment of the assets of each of the Funds in accordance with the investment objectives, policies, and limitations of each Fund, however, the Funds do not pay SGI a management fee. As part of its agreement with the Trust, SGI will pay all expenses of the Funds, including the cost of transfer agency, fund administration, audit and other services, excluding interest expense, taxes (expected to be de minimis), brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with the execution of portfolio transactions, short dividend expenses, and extraordinary expenses.
Each Fund indirectly bears a proportionate share of the total operating expenses (including investment management, shareholder servicing, custody, transfer agency, audit and other expenses) of the underlying funds in which the Fund invests.
RFS provides transfer agent, accounting and administrative services to the Funds. However, the related fees are paid by SGI, as noted above.
The Funds have not adopted a Distribution Plan or a Shareholder Services Plan with respect to A-Class shares and H-Class shares. Instead, the Funds invest in underlying funds that have a distribution plan that allows the underlying funds to pay distribution fees to RDL and other firms that provide distribution services (“Service Providers”). The underlying funds will pay distribution fees to RDL at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of average daily net assets, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, as amended. If a Service Provider provides distribution or shareholder services, RDL will, in turn, pay the Service Provider for the services it provides at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets.
The Funds have adopted a Distribution and Shareholder Services Plan applicable to their C-Class shares that allows the Funds to pay annual distribution and service fees of 0.75% of the Funds’ C-Class shares average daily net assets. The annual 0.25% service fee compensates the shareholder’s financial advisor for providing ongoing services to the shareholder. The annual 0.50% distribution fee reimburses RDL for paying the shareholder’s financial advisor an ongoing sales commission. RDL advances the first year’s service and distribution fees to the financial advisor. RDL retains the service and distribution fees on accounts with no authorized dealer of record.
For the year ended March 31, 2011, RDL retained sales charges of $606,415 relating to sales of A-Class shares of the Trust.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also officers of SGI, RFS and RDL.
5. Federal Income Tax Information
The Funds intend to comply with the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and will distribute substantially all net investment income and capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax provision has been recorded.
Tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns are evaluated to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on Federal income tax returns for all open tax years (fiscal years 2008-2011), and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for losses deferred due to wash sales, losses deferred due to post-October losses, and excise tax regulations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Permanent book and tax basis differences, if any, will result in reclassifications. This may include net operating losses not utilized during the current period and capital loss carryforward expired. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. Any undistributed ordinary income or long-term capital gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
Tax basis capital losses in excess of capital gains are carried forward to offset future net capital gains. For the year ended March 31, 2011, the following Funds offset net realized capital gains with capital losses from previous years:
| | | | |
Fund | | Amount | |
|
All-Asset Conservative Strategy Fund | | $ | 519,123 | |

6. Repurchase Agreements
The Funds transfer uninvested cash balances into a single joint account, the daily aggregate balance of which is invested in one or more repurchase agreements collateralized by obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government Agencies. The collateral is in the possession of the Funds’ custodian and is evaluated to ensure that its market value exceeds at a minimum, 102% of the original face amount of the repurchase agreements. Each Fund holds a pro rata share of the collateral based on the dollar amount of the repurchase agreement entered into by each Fund.
THE RYDEX|SGI SERIES TRUST ANNUAL REPORT | 33
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
The repurchase agreements executed by the joint account and outstanding at March 31, 2011, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Counterparty | | Terms of Agreement | | | Face Value | | | Market Value | | | Repurchase Price | |
|
Credit Suisse Group | | 0.05% due 04/01/11 | | $ | 83,257,483 | | | $ | 83,257,483 | | | $ | 83,257,599 | |
At March 31, 2011, the collateral for the repurchase agreements in the joint account was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Security Type | | Maturity Date | | | Rate | | | Par Value | | | Market Value | |
|
U.S. Treasury Note | | | 09/30/2012 | | | | 0.38 | % | | $ | 85,134,600 | | | $ | 84,922,636 | |
In the event of counterparty default, the Funds have the right to collect the collateral to offset losses incurred. There is potential loss to the Funds in the event the Funds are delayed or prevented from exercising their rights to dispose of the collateral securities, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Funds seek to assert their rights. The Funds’ investment advisor, acting under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, reviews the value of the collateral and the credit worthiness of those banks and dealers with which the Funds enter into repurchase agreements to evaluate potential risks.
7. 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 is utilized to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the 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.). |
|
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 summarizes the inputs used to value the Funds’ net assets at March 31, 2011:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Level 1 | | | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | | |

The Funds adopted updated provisions surrounding fair value measurements and disclosures effective April 1, 2010. This update applies to the Funds’ disclosures about transfers in and out of all levels of the fair value hierarchy and the reasons for the transfers as well as disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for investments that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Effective for interim and annual periods
34 | THE RYDEX|SGI SERIES TRUST ANNUAL REPORT
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (concluded)
beginning after December 15, 2010, purchases, sales, issuances and settlements must be shown on a gross basis in the Level 3 roll forward rather than as one net number.
For the year ended March 31, 2011, there were no significant transfers between Levels.
8. Securities Transactions
During the year ended March 31, 2011, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investment securities, excluding short-term and temporary cash investments, were:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | All-Asset | | | All-Asset | | | All-Asset | |
| | Conservative Strategy Fund | | | Moderate Strategy Fund | | | Aggressive Strategy Fund | |
|
Purchases | | | $ 14,506,949 | | | | $ 26,904,239 | | | | $ 14,375,578 | |
Sales | | | $ 19,767,362 | | | | $ 40,724,337 | | | | $ 18,525,270 | |
9. Line of Credit
The Trust has secured an uncommitted, $75,000,000 line of credit with U.S. Bank, N.A. Borrowings, if any, under this arrangement bear interest equal to the Prime Rate, minus 2%, which shall be paid monthly. The maximum loan amount outstanding per Fund should be the lesser of: an amount which, when added to the total of other outstanding loan amounts under this agreement, exceeds the total line of credit, 33 1/3% of a Fund’s net assets, 33 1/3% of a Fund’s assets held by the Custodian or 33 1/3% of the sum of a Fund’s securities on any given day. This line of credit expires on June 15, 2011. As of and for the year ended March 31, 2011, the Funds did not have any borrowings under this agreement.
10. Acquisition of Security Benefit Corporation
Guggenheim SBC Holdings, LLC (“Guggenheim SBC Holdings”), an investor group managed by Guggenheim Partners, LLC (“Guggenheim”), acquired control of Security Benefit Corporation (“SBC”), the parent company of Rydex Advisors, LLC (formerly PADCO Advisors, Inc.), the Funds’ investment adviser (the “Investment Adviser”), pursuant to an agreement entered between SBC and Guggenheim SBC Holdings. Under the agreement, Guggenheim SBC Holdings received a 100% ownership stake in SBC and consequently acquired control of the Investment Adviser (the “Purchase Transaction”). Guggenheim is a global, independent, privately held, diversified financial services firm with more than $100 billion in assets under supervision. The Purchase Transaction did not result in material changes to the day-to-day management and operations of the Funds or any increase in fees. The Purchase Transaction closed on July 30, 2010.
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the closing of the Purchase Transaction had the effect of terminating the Funds’ investment advisory agreement with the Investment Adviser (the “Previous Agreement”). The new investment advisory agreement (“New Agreement”) was approved by Fund shareholders in a series of special meetings of shareholders. The terms of the New Agreement are substantially identical to the corresponding Previous Agreement, except with respect to the date of execution.
11. Distributor and Transfer Agent Change
Effective July 30, 2010, the Funds’ distributor, Rydex Distributors, Inc., a Maryland corporation, became Rydex Distributors, LLC, a Kansas limited liability company, and Rydex Fund Services, Inc., the Funds’ transfer agent, became Rydex Fund Services, LLC, a Kansas limited liability company.
12. Investment Advisor Merger
Effective January 3, 2011, Rydex Advisors, LLC, the Funds’ investment advisor merged with and into Security Investors, LLC, which operates under the name SGI.
The foregoing internal restructuring did not affect the investment advisory services rendered to the Funds, which continue to be managed on a day-to-day basis by the same teams of portfolio managers. The investment philosophies, strategies, and processes of the Funds also remained the same.
In order to implement the restructuring, technical amendments were made to the Funds’ investment advisory agreements with Rydex Advisors, LLC, in order to reflect the change of the identity of the investment adviser. No other changes were made to the investment advisory agreements of the Funds, and the fees and expenses of the Funds remained the same.
THE RYDEX|SGI SERIES TRUST ANNUAL REPORT | 35
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders
of Rydex Series Funds:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of the All-Asset Conservative Strategy Fund, All-Asset Moderate Strategy Fund, and All-Asset Aggressive Strategy Fund (three of the series constituting the Rydex Series Funds) (the “Funds”) as of March 31, 2011, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended and the period June 30, 2006 (commencement of operations) through March 31, 2007. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2011, by correspondence with the transfer agent of the underlying funds and brokers. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the above listed Funds at March 31, 2011, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and their financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended and the period June 30, 2006 (commencement of operations) through March 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.
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 during the period covered by this report. The Code is filed as an exhibit to this Form N-CSR.
Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.
The registrant’s Board of Trustees has determined that Werner Keller, an “independent” Trustee serving on the registrant’s audit committee, is an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR. Under applicable securities laws, a person who is determined to be an audit committee financial expert will not be deemed an “expert” for any purpose, including without limitation for the purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated or identified as an audit committee financial expert. The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or liabilities that are greater than the duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and Board of Trustees in the absence of such designation or identification.
Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
(a)-(d) The aggregate Audit Fees billed by the Trust’s principal accountant, for the audit of the annual financial statements in connection with statutory and regulatory filings for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010 were $960,156 and $935,845, respectively. The aggregate Audit Related Fees by the Trust’s principal accountant billed for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010 were $20,889 and $31,875, respectively. The aggregate Tax Fees billed by the Trust’s principal accountant for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning, including preparation of tax returns and distribution assistance, for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010 were $0 and $0, respectively.
(e) The audit committee has adopted a policy whereby audit and non-audit services performed by the registrant’s principal accountant for the registrant, its investment advisor, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment advisor that provides ongoing services to the registrant require pre-approval in advance at regularly scheduled audit committee meetings. If such service is required between regularly scheduled audit committee meetings, the chairman of the audit committee, J. Kenneth Dalton, is authorized to pre-approve the service with full committee approval at the next scheduled meeting. There shall be no waivers of the pre-approval process. No services described in (b)-(d) above were approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
(f) Not applicable.
(g) The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant’s accountant for the most recent fiscal year and the preceding fiscal year for services rendered to the registrant, the investment advisor, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the advisor that provides ongoing services to the registrant were $47,000 and $75,000, respectively. These aggregate fees were less than the aggregate fees billed for the same periods by the registrant’s principal accountant for audit services rendered to the registrant, the investment advisor, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the advisor that provides ongoing services to the registrant.
(h) All non-audit services rendered in (g) above were pre-approved by the registrant’s audit committee. As such, the audit committee has considered these services in maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
