Always consult a financial, tax and/or legal professional regarding your specific situation.
The Strategy Funds may not be suitable for all investors. The investments in fixed-income instruments are subject to the possibility that interest rates could rise, causing the value of the holdings and share price to decline. Investors in asset- backed securities, including collateralized loan obligations generally receive payments that are part interest and part return of principal. These payments may vary based on the rate loans are repaid. Some asset-backed securities may have structures that make their reaction to interest rates and other factors difficult to predict, making their prices volatile and they are subject to liquidity and valuation risk. CLOs bear similar risks to investing in loans directly. Investments in loans involve special types of risks, including credit, interest rate, counterparty, prepayment, liquidity, and valuation risks. Loans are often below investment grade, may be unrated, and typically offer a fixed or floating interest rate. High yield and unrated debt securities are at a greater risk of default than investment grade bonds and may be less liquid, which may increase volatility. The use of leverage, through borrowings or instruments such as derivatives, may cause the fund to be more volatile and riskier than if it had not been leveraged. The more a fund invests in leveraged instruments, the more the leverage will magnify any gains or losses on those investments. Foreign securities carry unique or additional risks when compared to U.S. securities, including currency fluctuations, adverse political and economic developments, unreliable or untimely information, less liquidity and more volatility, limited legal recourse and higher transactional costs, all of which are enhanced when investing in emerging markets. In addition, investments in emerging markets are subject to risks associated with trading in smaller markets, lower volumes of trading, and being subject to lower levels of government regulation and less extensive accounting, financial and other reporting requirements. Please read the prospectus for more detailed information regarding these and other risks.

ECONOMIC AND MARKET OVERVIEW
Equity and fixed income markets declined during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022, amid continued market volatility, Federal Reserve policy, and global economic headwinds.
The Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) has abandoned talk of a soft or even “softish” landing, with the latest Summary of Economic Projections pointing to a 90-basis-point rise in the unemployment rate, an increase never before experienced without a recession. One basis point equals 0.01%. The seemingly endless string of upside inflation surprises has cemented the Fed’s view that the labor market needs to soften and economic activity needs to weaken further, which could require interest rates heading even higher.
Signs are indicating that the economy is heading in the direction the Fed wants. While gross domestic product (“GDP”) rebounded in the third quarter of 2022 to an inflation-adjusted 2.6%, private domestic demand (consumption and fixed investment) continued to slow, growing just 0.1%. The slowdown was led by a significant contraction in housing activity, historically the first sector to be hit by rising rates, cutting about 1.4 percentage points from GDP’s growth rate. The sharp tightening in financial conditions indicates a broader economic slowdown is ahead, which may help to loosen up the labor market. Signs of a labor market slowdown are already evident, with monthly job growth at less than half the pace of early 2022, wage growth cooling, and job openings falling sharply.
Inflation remains high, but a variety of factors point to a substantial moderation in 2023. Goods prices have stopped rising, and supply chain improvement and input and import costs suggest outright deflation could lie ahead. Services inflation is now the main price stability concern, but even the Bureau of Labor Statistics and several Fed speakers have acknowledged that the lagged data on home rental prices doesn’t reflect the sharp slowdown in market rents that has taken place (and that would start to show up in the data next year).
With the economy cooling and inflation likely to fall, it is fair to expect that rate hikes are nearly coming to an end, particularly with rising strains in financial markets and overseas. But having been repeatedly burned by expectations that inflation would cool and fearing a replay of the “stop-start” rate hike campaigns of the 1970s, the Fed will likely err on the side of overdoing it with rate hikes, viewing a recession as the “least bad” outcome for the economy.
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022, the S&P 500® Index* returned -15.47%. The MSCI Europe-Australasia-Far East (“EAFE”) Index* returned -25.13%. The return of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index* was -28.11%.

Strategy Fund II
To Our Shareholders
Guggenheim Partners Investment Management, LLC (“GPIM”) serves as the investment manager to Guggenheim Strategy Fund II (“Fund”). The Fund is managed by a team of seasoned professionals at GPIM. This team includes Anne B. Walsh, CFA, JD, Chief Investment Officer, Fixed Income, Portfolio Manager, and Managing Partner; Steven H. Brown, CFA, Chief Investment Officer, Total Return and Macro Strategies, Senior Managing Director, and Portfolio Manager; Kris Dorr, Managing Director and Portfolio Manager; and Adam J. Bloch, Managing Director and Portfolio Manager. In the subsequent paragraphs, the investment team discusses the Fund’s performance and the market environment for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022 (the “Reporting Period”).
For the Reporting Period, the Fund returned -2.08%, underperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg 1-3 Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, which returned 0.64% for the same period.
What factors contributed or detracted from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?
The Fund ended the Reporting Period down -2.08% while the benchmark finished up +0.64%. The dramatic rise in interest rates drove the majority of absolute performance, detracting roughly -2.3% from the Fund's performance over the Reporting Period. The performance effect from the widening in credit spreads was also negative, detracting about 2.8% on an absolute basis. Over the Reporting Period, we saw spreads in Investment Grade Corporates, High Yield Corporates, and AAA-rated Collateralized Loan Obligations (“CLOs”) widen by 75 basis points, 263 basis points, and 102 basis points, respectively. Carry contributed about +2.8% on an absolute basis and +1.8% on a relative basis to performance. Carry refers to the excess return accruing to higher yielding securities over lower yielding securities, assuming prices remain constant.
How did the Fund use derivatives during the Reporting Period?
During the Reporting Period, the Fund used forwards and swaps to help manage duration positioning, foreign exchange risk, and generate incremental income. Over the Reporting Period, interest rate swaps and total return swaps contributed to performance. In addition, the Fund hedged non-USD exposure with foreign-exchange derivatives, which had a positive impact on performance over the Reporting Period.
How was the Fund positioned at the end of the Reporting Period?
At 50% of net asset value (“NAV”), securitized credit continues to be the largest and growing asset class allocation within the Fund. As tail risks have risen across the market, we have increased our allocation to high grade pockets of securitized credit, picking credit quality and structural protection at attractive spreads versus comparably rated corporate credit. A unique opportunity has emerged in securitized credit in that investors are now able to source investments at steep dollar price discounts given both the rise in interest rates and widening in credit spreads that have occurred year-to-date. We believe this dynamic presents a compelling total return opportunity as investors are now able to capture not only
(Unaudited)
the traditional yield advantage offered by the sector in the form of higher coupons relative to similarly rated corporates, but also an accretion to par should rates fall or spreads tighten. In more normal market environments, the value proposition of much of securitized credit is typically limited to a carry advantage (i.e., the offered coupon) given the room for price appreciation above par ($100) is limited due to call structures. To this end, our buying efforts have been concentrated in the secondary market. In primary markets, we are finding opportunities in the Non-Agency Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (“RMBS”) sector in senior tranches of Non-Qualified Mortgage deals, which price at dollar price discounts and offer yields and spreads comparable to BB-rated corporate credit.
Corporate credit totaled approximately 46% of the Fund’s NAV, with roughly 41% Investment Grade rated and 5% High Yield. While fundamental credit metrics, such as leverage and interest coverage, generally still show improving or healthy trends across sectors we expect them to start gradually deteriorating over the next several quarters and for default rates to pick up. However, all spread asset classes have already materially re-priced lower this year due to tighter financial conditions. Credit spread valuations are broadly in their 70th – 80th widest percentiles versus long term historical ranges, and absolute yields are at the highest levels since 2009. At current valuations the long-term value across credit assets is compelling although we expect volatility to remain elevated in the near-term. The Fund remains focused on high credit quality investment grade corporates at attractive absolute yields.
During the Reporting Period, the Fund modestly increased its interest rate exposure amid the backup in rates to the higher end of its historical range (approximately 0.75 year). As the Federal Reserve continues to reinforce its commitment to moderating and stabilizing inflationary pressures through decreasing the demand function, we expect long term growth and inflation expectations to fall. Consequently, this era of peak hawkishness in the market signals to us that rates are likely peaking, and that extending duration is prudent.
Though we expect to see continued volatility as markets grapple with the rapid tightening of financial conditions, at current valuations we see return distributions for fixed income skewed to the upside over the next year. With the Fund’s gross yield of nearly 6.0%, we believe the carry profile alone for such fixed income opportunities provides a significantly higher buffer to performance volatility from rates and spreads.

This graph compares a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund, made at its inception, with a similar investment in the Bloomberg 1-3 Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index. Results include the reinvestment of all distributions and capital gains. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The Bloomberg 1-3 Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index tracks the performance of U.S. Treasury bills with a remaining maturity of one to three months. U.S. Treasury bills, which are short-term loans to the U.S. government, are full faith and credit obligations of the U.S. Treasury and are generally regarded as being free of any risk of default. The referenced index is unmanaged. It is not possible to invest directly in the Bloomberg 1-3 Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate with changes in market conditions and other factors and Fund shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original investment.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and current
performance may be lower or higher than the figures shown. Net asset value (NAV) performance data reflects fees
and expenses of the Fund. The deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the
redemption of Fund shares is not reflected in the total returns. The investment return and principal value of an
investment will fluctuate with changes in market conditions and other factors so that an investor’s shares, when
redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Since inception returns assume a purchase of the Fund at the initial NAV of $25.00 per share. Returns for periods of
less than one year are not annualized.

ABOUT SHAREHOLDERS’ FUND EXPENSES (Unaudited) | |
All mutual funds have operating expenses, and it is important for our shareholders to understand the impact of costs on their investments. Shareholders of a fund incur two types of costs: (i) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, other distributions, and exchange fees, and (ii) ongoing costs, including management fees, administrative services, and shareholder reports, among others. These ongoing costs, or operating expenses, are deducted from a fund’s gross income and reduce the investment return of the fund.
A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets, which is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help investors understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period beginning March 31, 2022 and ending September 30, 2022.
The following tables illustrate the Funds’ costs in two ways:
Table 1. Based on actual Fund return: This section helps investors estimate the actual expenses paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return, and the fifth column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. Investors may use the information here, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses paid over the period. Simply divide the Fund’s account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number provided under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Table 2. Based on hypothetical 5% return: This section is intended to help investors compare a fund’s cost with those of other mutual funds. The table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses paid during the period. The example is useful in making comparisons because the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on the 5% return. Investors can assess a fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
The calculations illustrated above assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, and contingent deferred sales charges ("CDSC") on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the second table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
More information about the Funds’ expenses, including annual expense ratios for periods up to five years (subject to the Fund's inception date), can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to the appropriate Fund prospectus.

The following is a summary of significant unobservable inputs used in the fair valuation of assets categorized within Level 3 of the value hierarchy:
Category | Ending
Balance at September 30, 2022 |
Valuation Technique | Unobservable Inputs | Input Range | Weighted Average |
Assets: | |||||

Foreign Government Debt | 3,134,543 | Third Party Pricing | Vendor Price | ─ | ─ |
Total Assets | $ 7,407,084 |
Significant changes in a quote, yield, market comparable yields, liquidation value or valuation multiples would generally result in significant changes in the fair value of the security. Any remaining Level 3 securities held by the Fund and excluded from the table above, were not considered material to the Fund.
The Fund’s fair valuation leveling guidelines were revised to classify a single daily broker quote, or a vendor price based on a single daily or monthly broker quote, as Level 3 rather than Level 2, if such a quote or price cannot be supported with other available market information.
Transfer between Level 2 and Level 3 may occur as markets fluctuate and/or the availability of data used in an investment’s valuation changes. For the year ended September 30, 2022, the Fund had securities with a total value of $1,474,249 transfer into Level 3 from Level 2 due to a lack of observable inputs.

The following is a summary of significant unobservable inputs used in the fair valuation of assets categorized within Level 3 of the value hierarchy: |
Category | Ending Balance at September 30, 2022 | Valuation Technique | Unobservable Inputs | Input Range |
Assets: | ||||

Liabilities: | ||||
Unfunded Loan Commitments | $ 817 | Model Price | Purchase Price | — |
Significant changes in a quote or market comparable yields would generally result in significant changes in the fair value of the security.
The Fund’s fair valuation leveling guidelines were revised to classify a single daily broker quote, or a vendor price based on a single daily or monthly broker quote, as Level 3 rather than Level 2, if such a quote or price cannot be supported with other available market information.
Transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 may occur as markets fluctuate and/or the availability of data used in an investment’s valuation changes. For the year ended September 30, 2022, the Fund had securities with a total value of $1,379,136 transfer into Level 3 from Level 2 due to a lack of observable inputs.

The Fund’s fair valuation leveling guidelines were revised to classify a single daily broker quote, or a vendor price based on a single daily or monthly broker quote, as Level 3 rather than Level 2, if such a quote or price cannot be supported with other available market information.
Transfer between Level 2 and Level 3 may occur as markets fluctuate and/or the availability of data used in an investment’s valuation changes. For the year ended September 30, 2022, the Fund had securities with a total value of $523,121 transfer into Level 3 from Level 2 due to a lack of observable inputs.
Summary of Fair Value Level 3 Activity
Following is a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value for the year ended September 30, 2022:
