- Rydex Consumer Products Fund Class A (RYPDX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks capital appreciation by investing principally in equity securities of companies engaged in the manufacture of finished consumer products and consumer-oriented services, both domestically and internationally. The fund primarily targets companies in the consumer defensive sector, including household products, beverages, tobacco, packaged foods, and personal care items; its top holdings feature leading firms such as Procter & Gamble Co. (5.98% of portfolio), Coca-Cola Co. (5.17%), PepsiCo Inc. (4.65%), Philip Morris International Inc. (4.52%), and Altria Group Inc. (3.34%), with approximately 95.62% allocation to consumer defensive stocks, 90.94% to U.S. equities, and the remainder to non-U.S. stocks across regions like the United Kingdom and Eurozone. It employs a mid-cap value investment style within the Morningstar Consumer Defensive category, with assets under management for the share class at $6.43 million and total fund net assets of $33.57 million; the fund features a net expense ratio of 1.64%, a 4.75% front-end load, and a minimum initial investment of $2,500. Managed by a team at Security Investors, LLC including Michael P. Byrum (since 1998), Adrian Bachman, Brendan Cain, Spencer Crane, and Scott Miller (each since 2022), with distribution handled by Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC, the Class A shares were launched on September 1, 2004, as part of the Rydex Series Funds domiciled in the United States. In recent operational changes, the fund participated in reverse share splits announced for multiple Rydex funds, executed in phases during August 2024 to consolidate shares without impacting aggregate asset values, alongside routine annual distributions including a December 2024 dividend payment.
