Dear Shareholder,
The Joint Special Meeting of Shareholders Guggenheim Funds Trust and Transparent Value Trust will be held at 115 South LaSalle Street, 34th Floor, Chicago, IL 60603 on October 24, 2024. We recently sent you proxy materials for the Joint Special Meeting and are writing to remind you that your proxy vote is very important.
As discussed in the proxy statement, the reason for the Joint Special Meeting is to ask shareholders to approve an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization providing for the reorganization of the Acquired Fund with and into its corresponding series of another Fund. Each Reorganization is discussed in the enclosed combined proxy statement and prospectus (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”), which you should read carefully.
Each Guggenheim Board, as applicable, recommends that you vote “FOR” each Reorganization. A summary of the Board’s considerations and other important details are included in the Proxy Statement which was previously mailed to you. If you have any proxy-related questions or would like another copy of the proxy statement, please call (866) 864-7964 for assistance. Representatives are available Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Eastern time.
We very much appreciate your attention to this matter.
Best regards,
