About RYZCX

Rydex Precious Metals Fund Class C is an equity mutual fund designed to provide capital appreciation by investing primarily in U.S. and international companies associated with the precious metals sector. The fund allocates at least 80% of its net assets to firms involved in the extraction, exploration, and processing of precious metals such as gold, silver, and platinum. Notably, it may hold significant positions in companies with small to mid-sized market capitalizations, offering exposure to niche and growth-oriented players within the industry. As a non-diversified fund, it concentrates its holdings, allowing for potentially stronger impacts—positive or negative—from its top investments. Managed by a team, the fund is structured to capitalize on opportunities within the precious metals space, which often serves as a hedge against economic uncertainty and inflation. Annual distributions, a relatively high expense ratio, and a focus on sector-specific equities characterize its operational approach, making it a targeted vehicle for investors seeking exposure to global precious metals markets.
