About RYCQX

Rydex Inverse Russell 2000 Strategy Fund Class C is a mutual fund designed to deliver investment results that correspond, before fees and expenses, to the inverse (opposite) of the daily performance of the Russell 2000 Index, a widely followed benchmark for small-cap U.S. equities. The fund aims to achieve this objective primarily through a combination of short positions and the use of derivative instruments tied to the underlying index. Its strategy is intended for investors seeking to hedge against or benefit from declines in the small-cap equity market. The fund is classified as non-diversified, meaning it may allocate a larger portion of assets to individual issuers than diversified funds, potentially increasing volatility. Managed by Security Investors, LLC, the fund is rebalanced daily to maintain its inverse exposure, a feature that can lead to compounding effects and returns that differ significantly from the inverse of the index over periods longer than one day. The fund distributes income annually and is intended primarily for U.S.-based investors seeking inverse correlation to small-cap equities in their portfolios.
