- Rydex NASDAQ-100 Fund Class H (RYHOX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks to provide investment results corresponding, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the NASDAQ-100 Index on a daily basis; it normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in securities of companies in the underlying index and in derivatives and other instruments that provide economic exposure to the index. The fund offers exposure to large-cap growth stocks predominantly in technology, communication services, and consumer cyclical sectors, with top holdings including NVIDIA Corp, Microsoft Corp, Apple Inc, Amazon.com Inc, and Broadcom Inc; it maintains a non-diversified portfolio with approximately 93% in U.S. stocks, supplemented by minor allocations to non-U.S. stocks, cash, bonds, and other assets. Available primarily to U.S. investors with a minimum initial investment of $2,500, the Class H shares feature a net expense ratio of 1.50%, no front-end or deferred loads, and annual distributions if applicable.
Launched on September 18, 2014 as part of the Rydex Series Funds, RYHOX is managed by a team at Security Investors, LLC—including Michael Byrum (since 1997) and newer co-managers Brendan Cain, Spencer Crane, and Scott Miller (since July 2022)—with the firm operating from offices in Rockville, Maryland, and New York, New York, under the broader Guggenheim Investments umbrella following Guggenheim Partners' 2010 acquisition of Security Benefit Corp., the former parent of Rydex Funds.
In recent developments, Guggenheim Investments announced in June 2024 the sale of its $2.6 billion actively managed equity funds business to New Age Alpha, a transaction expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2024, though RYHOX and the Rydex family of funds remained under Guggenheim management post-sale; the fund distributed a significant $5.95 per share capital gain and income dividend on December 12, 2024, reflecting strong performance amid NASDAQ-100 gains driven by technology leaders. Total net assets for the fund stood at approximately $1.93 billion as of late 2025, with Class H shares comprising $35.84 million.
