Investment objective & strategy
As of April 19, 2024 · prospectusObjective. Series N seeks to provide growth of capital and, secondarily, preservation of capital.
Strategy. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of futures contracts and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and other pooled investment vehicles that track major equity indexes and fixed-income indexes (underlying funds) to obtain exposure to equity, fixed-income and money market assets. The precise allocation to equity and fixed-income assets will depend on the outlook of Security Investors, LLC, also known as Guggenheim Investments (the Investment Manager), for each asset class and are expected to change (possibly suddenly and significantly) from time to time. The Fund may obtain exposure to these asset classes through investments in the underlying funds, which may track indices such as the S&P 500 Index and Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, or … The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of futures contracts and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and other pooled investment vehicles that track major equity indexes and fixed-income indexes (underlying funds) to obtain exposure to equity, fixed-income and money market assets. The precise allocation to equity and fixed-income assets will depend on the outlook of Security Investors, LLC, also known as Guggenheim Investments (the Investment Manager), for each asset class and are expected to change (possibly suddenly and significantly) from time to time. The Fund may obtain exposure to these asset classes through investments in the underlying funds, which may track indices such as the S&P 500 Index and Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, or through investments in futures contracts and other derivatives, as further discussed below. Under normal market conditions, the Funds investments are expected to achieve a moderate allocation of equity, fixed-income and money market assets in approximately the following amounts: (1) 60% of total assets in equity securities, which may include stock of small capitalization U.S. companies, mid-capitalization U.S. companies, large capitalization U.S. companies and non-U.S. companies (including companies from emerging markets countries); and (2) 40% of total assets in fixed-income instruments of U.S. issuers and non-U.S. issuers (including issuers from emerging market countries), which may include short and long term corporate and government bonds and inflation-protected securities, which may in each case be of any quality, rated or unrated, including those that are rated below investment grade, or, if unrated, determined to be of comparable quality (also known as high yield securities or junk bonds). However, the Investment Manager intends to utilize dynamic asset allocation techniques that will allow rapid shifts between asset classes to attempt to exploit current market trends, and the Fund may invest fully in any asset class at any time. Moreover, the Investment Manager may change the Funds asset class allocation, the underlying funds or weightings without shareholder notice. The Funds investments will, under normal market conditions, be rebalanced monthly toward the moderate allocation discussed above. The Investment Manager determines the Funds asset allocation through the analysis of multiple proprietary factors that impact each asset class. An outlook for each asset is based on risk and return expectations. Once an outlook is established, the Funds assets are allocated through proprietary techniques using a risk management process that adapts to different market trends and dynamically shifts allocations to exploit the current market environment. Asset classes are evaluated independently. The Fund is expected to implement its investment strategies by investing in ETFs and other pooled investment vehicles. The Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in investment companies advised by the Investment Manager, or an affiliate of the Investment Manager, that invest in short-term fixed-income or floating rate securities. These funds are designed primarily to provide an alternative to investing directly and separately in various short-term fixed-income or floating rate securities. The Fund may invest in these investment companies for various portfolio management purposes, including for cash management and liquidity management purposes and to seek a higher level of return on investments used to collateralize derivatives positions and achieve greater diversification and trading efficiency than would usually be experienced by investing directly and separately in fixed-income or floating rate securities. Investments by the Fund in these investment companies significantly increase the Funds exposure to the following asset categories: (i) a broad range of high yield, high risk debt securities rated below the top four long-term rating categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (also known as junk bonds) or, if unrated, determined by the Investment Manager, to be of comparable quality; (ii) collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), other asset-backed securities and similarly structured debt investments; and (iii) other short-term fixed or floating rate debt securities. These categories may change as a result of the Investment Managers dynamic asset allocation techniques and changes in asset allocations. Such investments expose the Fund to the risks of these asset categories and decreases in the value of these investments may cause the Fund to deviate from its investment objective. The Fund is also expected to implement its strategies through investments in derivative instruments such as futures contracts, options on futures contracts, options on securities, currency futures contracts and credit derivative instruments for purposes of enhancing income (i.e., speculative purposes), hedging risks posed by other portfolio holdings, or as a substitute for investing, purchasing or selling securities or other assets. Certain of the Funds derivatives investments may be traded in the over-the-counter (OTC) market. In an effort to ensure that the Fund has the desired positioning on a day-to-day basis, the Fund may conduct any necessary trading activity at or just prior to the close of the U.S. financial markets. In addition, the Fund may engage in short sales of ETFs and/or obtain short exposure through futures contracts. Under adverse or unstable market conditions or abnormal circumstances, the Fund could invest some or all of its assets in cash, derivatives, fixed-income instruments, government bonds, money market instruments, repurchase agreements or securities of other investment companies. The Fund may be unable to pursue or achieve its investment objective during that time and temporary investments could reduce the benefit from any upswing in the market.
