Rydex NASDAQ-100 Fund Investor Class (RYOCX)

Overview

The fund is designed for investors aiming to gain exposure to a broad cross section of the largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market. With a portfolio that commits at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) into securities of companies featured in its underlying index, the fund seeks to mirror the performance of its benchmark. This index, known for being a modified capitalization-weighted index, selectively includes 100 of the most significant non-financial firms, boasting a wide range of capitalizations between $10.4 billion and $3 trillion. Its strategy includes investing in a mix of direct securities from the companies listed in the index, along with derivatives and other financial instruments that are expected to perform in line with the index. Given its concentration, the fund falls into the non-diversified category, focusing its investments on a specific segment of the market without spreading its risk across various sectors.
