¹ Guggenheim Investments won the WealthManagement.com Industry Award for outstanding achievement in Thought Leadership Advisor Education at the magazine's September 8, 2022 annual award ceremony in New York. The WealthManagement.com Industry Awards honor outstanding achievements by companies, organizations and individuals that support financial advisor success. In 2022, nearly 1000 entries were received from more than 350 companies. At the awards ceremony, 105 awards were presented to 84 companies from a pool of 225 finalists. Guggenheim Investments won bronze award for Best White Paper in Financial Advisor IQ’s 2022 Financial Advisor Service Awards. The Financial Advisor IQ Service Awards are based on the votes of financial advisors who participated in a survey fielded by the magazine between April and June 2022.1 Guggenheim’s awards were in the mid-sized manager category. SURVEY RESULTS AND TESTIMONIALS MAY NOT BE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE EXPERIENCE OF OTHER CUSTOMERS AND ARE NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE OR SUCCESS. The FA-IQ Service Awards are based on the votes of financial advisors who participated in a survey from April to June, 2022 and winners were announced on September 28, 2022. 742 advisors cast ballots. Respondents represented a cross-section of channels and practice sizes: 61 percent came from broker-dealers (including 40 percent from independent and regional BDs, 19 percent from wirehouses, and 2 percent from bank-based B-Ds). Another 32 percent of voters hail from independent RIAs, and 4 percent from insurance-linked brokerages. Managers were split in three categories: Large managers—those with $100 billion or more in mutual fund and/or ETF assets (32 managers in this group), Midsize managers—those with between $20 billion and $100 billion in mutual fund and/or ETF assets (51 managers in this group), and Boutique managers—those with at least $4 billion, but less than $20 billion in fund and/or ETF assets (60 managers in this group). In rating asset managers, advisors first identified the companies with which they work or have worked. Then advisors selected which product providers they considered excellent in each the large- mid- and boutique-sized cohorts. For recordkeepers and Erisa law firms, FA-IQ relied on votes from all advisors, but especially those with significant DC plan business. In all, 51 recordkeepers, 31 target-date fund providers and 40 law firms received votes. Ignites Research, an FA-IQ affiliate, compiled the votes and oversaw these awards.

Barron’s Top Fund Families are awarded annually. For the 1-year period ending in 12.31.2024, Guggenheim Investments ("Guggenheim") was named the #1 fund family in the taxable bond category out of 48 fund families. In the overall Barron’s Top Fund Families rankings for the period ending 12.31.2024, Guggenheim was ranked 46 out of 48 fund families for 1 year, 41 out of 46 fund families for 5 years, and 42 out of 46 fund families for 10 years. For the 1-year period ending 12.31.2023, Guggenheim was named the #1 fund family in the taxable bond category out of 49 fund families. In the overall Barron’s Top Fund Families rankings for the period ending 12.31.2023 Guggenheim was ranked 21 out of 49 fund families for 1 year, 28 out of 47 fund families for 5 years, and 27 out of 46 fund families for 10 years. For the 1-year period ending 12.31.2020, Guggenheim was named the #1 fund family in the taxable bond category out of 53 fund families. In the overall Barron’s Top Fund Families rankings for the period ending 12.31.2020, Guggenheim ranked 2 out of 53 companies over the 1-year period; 18 out of 50 over the 5-year period; 29 out of 44 over the 10-year period. Methodology: All mutual and exchange-traded funds are required to report their returns after fees are deducted, but Barron’s calculates returns before any 12b-1 fees are deducted, in order to measure manager skill (independent of expenses beyond annual management fees). Similarly, sales charges aren’t included in the calculation. Each fund’s performance is measured against all of the other funds in its LSEG Lipper category, with a percentile ranking of 100 being the highest and 1 the lowest. This result is then weighted by asset size, relative to the fund family’s other assets in its general classification. If a family’s biggest funds do well, it boosts its overall ranking; poor performance in its biggest funds hurts its ranking. To be included, a firm must have at least 3 funds in the general equity category, 1 world equity, 1 mixed equity (such as a balanced or target-date fund), 2 taxable bond funds, and 1 national tax-exempt bond fund. Single-sector and country equity funds are factored into the rankings as general equity. All passive index funds are excluded, including pure index, enhanced index, and index-based, but actively managed ETFs and smart-beta ETFs (passively managed but created from active strategies) are included. Finally, the score is multiplied by the weighting of its general classification, as determined by the entire Lipper universe of funds. The category weightings for the 1-year results in 2024 were general equity, 39.1%; mixed asset, 21.6%; world equity, 15.3%; taxable bond, 20.1%; and tax-exempt bond, 3.9%. Then the numbers are then added for each category and overall. The shop with the highest total score wins. Copyright ©2025 Dow Jones & Company, All Rights Reserved.

The LSEG Lipper Fund Awards are granted annually to the fund in each Lipper classification that achieves the highest score for Consistent Return, a measure of its historical risk-adjusted returns, relative to peers. The Best Absolute Return Bond Fund 10-year award is granted to the fund in the Absolute Return Bond Fund category with the highest Lipper Leader score for Consistent Return as of 11.30 of the prior year, among 16 funds for the 10-year period in 2024.

Morningstar Ratings and Rankings Information: The Morningstar Rating for funds, or "star rating", is calculated for managed products with at least a three-year history and does not include the effect of sales charges. Exchange-traded funds and open-end mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product's monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics.

Morningstar absolute and percentile ranks are based on average annual total return relative to all funds in the same Morningstar category, which includes both mutual funds and ETFs, and do not include the effect of sales charges. Absolute ranks are assigned in descending order for each fund in the category, with 1 being the top performing fund. Funds with the same performance figure are assigned the same absolute rank. Percentile ranks range from 1 (top 1%) to 100 (least favorable), with no minimum number of funds per category. For example, for a category containing three funds, the ranks would be 1, 50, and 100.

The Funds may not be suitable for all investors. In general, the value of a fixed-income security falls when interest rates rise and rises when interest rates fall. Longer term bonds are more sensitive to interest rate changes and subject to greater volatility than those with shorter maturities. During periods of declining rates, the interest rates on floating rate securities generally reset downward and their value is unlikely to rise to the same extent as comparable fixed rate securities. 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. Investors in asset-backed securities, including mortgage-backed securities and collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), 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, such as 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.
