Rydex will soon know if it has reached a quorum for each of it's funds in order to approve it's deal with Security Benefit. Today is the final shareholder vote, unless less than 50 percent of shareholders decide to vote.

In a letter sent to Rydex fund shareholders on November 30, Rydex tried again to appeal to shareholders to take a few moments to cast their votes for the proposed deal with Security Benefit. Although this time there may be even more of a problem getting a good turnout because of the holidays.
