About RYAIX

Rydex Inverse NASDAQ-100 Strategy Fund Investor Class is a mutual fund designed to deliver the inverse, or opposite, of the daily performance of the NASDAQ-100 Index before fees and expenses. Rather than holding the index's constituent stocks, the fund primarily invests in financial instruments and derivative contracts that are expected to move in the opposite direction of the NASDAQ-100. The fund employs strategies such as short selling and the use of derivatives to achieve its investment objective. As a non-diversified trading—inverse equity fund launched in 1998, it targets investors seeking ways to hedge exposure to large-cap technology and growth sectors or to express short-term bearish views on this prominent equity benchmark. The fund’s significant allocations to cash equivalents and U.S. Treasury securities enhance its liquidity profile. With annual dividend distributions and a relatively high expense ratio compared to traditional index funds, this fund plays a specialized role in the market, primarily serving tactical investors and financial professionals looking to manage risk during periods of anticipated declines in the NASDAQ-100 Index.
