Fund profile

As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q1

The Guggenheim Limited Duration Fund (the Fund) seeks to provide a high level of income consistent with preservation of capital.

Strategy · summarised

The fund pursues high income through active management of a diversified fixed-income portfolio, selecting securities across corporate bonds, government debt, mortgage- and asset-backed securities, bank loans, and derivatives based on credit research and macroeconomic outlook. The fund maintains a dollar-weighted average duration generally under 3.5 years and may hold up to 35% in below-investment-grade securities and up to 35% in emerging-market or non-dollar-denominated debt. Because security selection depends on the Investment Manager's credit analysis and outlook, fund performance will diverge from any benchmark. The fund may use leverage through reverse repurchase agreements and may temporarily hold securities inconsistent with its principal strategy during adverse market conditions.

The outer band is exposure held short — written against the portfolio rather than part of it, which is why it sits outside the ring and why the two are never netted into one figure.

These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 5.88pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 1.18pp a year — not a difference in what they own.

Cumulative return· Jul 2023 – Apr 2026

May 2026 and Jun 2026 have been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so they are not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.

Risk profile

Interest-rate and credit-spread sensitivity, both in years · as of 2026Q2

More of this fund’s sensitivity sits in credit spreads than in interest rates — a rate rally that comes with a credit selloff works against it.

Interest-rate duration
2.02 yr
approx. move per 100bp
Credit-spread duration
3.16 yr

If rates and spreads both rise 100bp

Where the loss would come from. The two shocks are the same size, so this is the balance of the fund's two sensitivities rather than a bet on one moving more.

of value
Credit spreads61%
Interest rates39%

Filers report the impact of a 0.01% move only, so the total is our own scaling of that one number and overstates the loss on most bonds — read it as approximate, never as precise. The two sensitivities overlap rather than add up: they measure the same positions against different shocks, which is why the durations above are shown side by side and never summed.

The two bands measure the same positions against different shocks and do not add — a Treasury carries rate duration and no spread duration, a floating-rate credit the reverse. Rate tenors are also summed across every currency the fund discloses.
