- Rydex Consumer Products Fund (RYCPX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks capital appreciation by investing substantially all of its assets in equity securities of consumer products companies traded in the United States, including those engaged in manufacturing, wholesaling or retailing durable goods such as major appliances and personal computers; non-durable goods such as beverages, tobacco, health care products, household and personal care products, apparel, and entertainment products including books, magazines, TV, cable, movies, music, gaming and sports; and providers of consumer products and services such as lodging, child care, convenience stores and car rentals. The fund may also engage in futures and options transactions, purchase American Depositary Receipts, U.S. government securities and enter into repurchase agreements, with dividends and capital gains distributed annually if applicable. Managed on a team basis by Security Investors, LLC, as investment adviser and distributed by Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC, under the Rydex fund family within Guggenheim Investments, RYCPX operates primarily in U.S. markets targeting individual and institutional investors seeking exposure to the consumer products sector. Launched on July 24, 2001, with CUSIP 783554272, the fund is headquartered at Guggenheim Investments in Topeka, Kansas, and shares its investment strategy across multiple share classes including Investor (RYCIX, inception July 6, 1998), H (RYCAX, inception August 17, 1998) and A (RYPDX, inception September 1, 2004), featuring a net expense ratio of 2.38% for the C class. As of recent data, top holdings include Procter & Gamble Co., Philip Morris International Inc., Coca-Cola Co., PepsiCo Inc., Mondelez International Inc., Colgate-Palmolive Co. and others in consumer defensive and staples segments, with notable exposure to agribusiness firms like Archer-Daniels-Midland Co., Tyson Foods Inc., Bunge Global SA and Hormel Foods Corp. representing approximately 5.64% of assets. The fund maintains a mid-cap value investment style benchmarked against relevant consumer products indices. In recent developments, the fund has continued operations under Guggenheim Investments following the integration of Rydex Advisors into the Guggenheim platform, with no major acquisitions, mergers or name changes reported in the last 1-2 years amid stable management and strategy. Performance updates as of late 2025 show a net asset value around $81.23 for RYCPX, reflecting 1-year returns of approximately -6.63% and 3-year annualized returns of 2.92%, influenced by sector volatility in consumer defensive stocks. Sustainability assessments highlight 45.11% of assets in holdings flagged for deforestation risk, primarily major consumer brands (45%) and commodity producers (5.64%), as of August 31, 2025, prompting ongoing investor scrutiny in environmental impact tracking.
