Rydex Advisors offers institutional investors and financial intermediaries a wide variety of traditional and non-traditional investment products across 5 five distinct disciplines: (1) actively managed specialty fixed-income (2) value (3) growth (4) global equity and (5) quantitative. The firm employs a rigorous investment strategy in managing all of their funds. PADCO Advisors' benchmark funds seek to provide investment returns that correspond to the performance of a specific benchmark. Their sector funds are managed by teams who employ a quantitative model to select stocks and strive to be fully invested in their respective sectors. The firm's quantitative model involves screening stocks based on market-cap, liquidity and correlation relative to the entire industry sector. PADCO Advisors' quantitative strategy ranks stocks by market-cap and liquidity. For sector funds, the firm also considers the stock's correlation to the sector. The firm also utilizes long/short hedging methods and leveraging in some of their mutual funds. Though not limited by sector, PADCO Advisors tends to invest in the stocks of mid-cap and large-cap US companies in the electronic technology, technology services, healthcare technology, finance and non-energy minerals sectors.
