         ITEM 24. PERSONS CONTROLLED BY OR UNDER COMMON CONTROL WITH REGISTRANT:

         As of the date of this Registration Statement, the Registrant owned
         100% of the Rydex Series Funds Managed Futures Strategy Fund CFC and
         Rydex Series Funds Commodities Strategy Fund CFC, each an exempted
         company organized under Cayman Islands law. The Registrant is not under
         common control with any other person.

         ITEM 25. INDEMNIFICATION:

         The Registrant is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is
         operated pursuant to a Declaration of Trust, dated as of March 13,
         1993, as amended (the "Declaration of Trust"), that permits the
         Registrant to indemnify its trustees and officers under certain
         circumstances. Such indemnification, however, is subject to the
         limitations imposed by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the
         Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Registrant's
         Declaration of Trust provides that officers and trustees of the Trust
         shall be indemnified by the Trust against liabilities and expenses of
         defense in proceedings against them by reason of the fact that they
         each serve as an officer or trustee of the Trust or as an officer or
         trustee of another entity at the request of the entity. This
         indemnification is subject to the following conditions:

         (a)      no trustee or officer of the Trust is indemnified against
                  any liability to the Trust or its security holders which
                  was the result of any willful misfeasance, bad faith,
                  gross negligence, or reckless disregard of his duties;

         (b)      officers and trustees of the Trust are indemnified only for
                  actions taken in good faith which the officers and trustees
                  believed were in or not opposed to the best interests of the
                  Trust; and

         (c)      expenses of any suit or proceeding will be paid in advance
                  only if the persons who will benefit by such advance undertake
                  to repay the expenses unless it subsequently is determined
                  that such persons are entitled to indemnification.

         The Registrant's Declaration of Trust provides that if indemnification
         is not ordered by a court, indemnification may be authorized upon
         determination by shareholders, or by a majority vote of a quorum of the
         trustees who were not parties to the proceedings or, if this quorum is
         not obtainable, if directed by a quorum of disinterested trustees, or
         by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the persons to
         be indemnified have met the applicable standard.

         ITEM 26. BUSINESS AND OTHER CONNECTIONS OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISER

         PADCO Advisors, Inc., d/b/a Rydex Investments, (the "Adviser") is the

         Rockville, Maryland 20850. The Adviser is an investment adviser

         Any other business, profession, vocation or employment of a substantial

         adviser is or has been, at any time during the last two fiscal years,
