- Rydex Series Funds - Guggenheim Long Short Equity Fund P Class (RYSRX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks long-term growth of capital through a long-short equity strategy, maintaining long positions in undervalued securities and short positions in overvalued ones. The fund, part of the Rydex Series Funds family managed by Guggenheim Investments—a division of Guggenheim Partners, LLC—employs an active investment approach overseen by portfolio managers Samir Sanghani and Burak Hurmeydan, with a focus on U.S. equities across various sectors. Core offerings within the broader Rydex Series Funds include sector-specific mutual funds (such as electronics, biotechnology, and financial services using modified cap-weighting), leveraged and inverse benchmark-replicating strategies, broad market exposure funds, and alternative strategies like multi-hedge and high-yield products; unlimited exchange privileges apply among equivalent share classes without holding periods or transaction fees.
Rydex Series Funds originated in 1993, with historical headquarters in Rockville, Maryland, at 805 King Farm Boulevard, and now operates under Guggenheim Partners, headquartered in New York City, providing investment products primarily to U.S. retail and institutional investors seeking tactical market exposures. The Rydex brand has evolved through key integrations, including its 2007 acquisition by Security Benefit Corporation, subsequent 2009 merger with Security Global Investors (also under Security Benefit), and 2010 absorption into Guggenheim Partners, which expanded the platform to over $330 billion in assets under management across asset management, investment banking, and insurance services.
In recent years, Guggenheim Investments conducted reverse share splits on select Rydex mutual funds and Rydex Variable Trust funds in August 2023 to consolidate share prices without altering net asset values, alongside phasing out the Rydex ETF branding in favor of Guggenheim Investments. As of 2025, the firm continues annual financial reporting for Rydex funds, maintains daily holdings transparency, and supports sector momentum models using 18 Rydex sector funds for dynamic allocations. No major new partnerships, acquisitions, funding rounds, or product launches specific to RYSRX were reported in 2024-2025, with ongoing operations emphasizing benchmark replication, daily rebalancing, and risk-managed strategies amid market volatility.
