About RYUTX
Rydex Series Funds: Utilities Fund Class A is a mutual fund designed to offer targeted exposure to publicly traded utility companies in the United States. Its primary objective is capital appreciation by investing substantially all assets in equity securities of firms operating within the utilities sector, such as electric, gas, and water service providers. Managed by Security Investors, LLC, the fund takes a non-diversified approach, allowing it to concentrate investments in fewer issuers than a diversified fund, which can amplify both risk and return potential. Notable features include an annual distribution frequency and a minimum investment requirement of $2,500. The fund’s gross expense ratio is 1.65%, placing it above many peers in terms of fees. With an inception date of September 1, 2004, it plays a specialized role in the market by enabling investors to focus on a sector often characterized by its defensive qualities and steady dividend income. The fund tracks its performance relative to broad benchmarks like the S&P 500 Index, providing context for sector-based performance within the broader equity landscape.
