SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT 2
DEAR SHAREHOLDER,
Rydex is a proud participant in the ETF space, having $6.1 million in ETF
assets, 31 exchange traded products and plans to introduce many more in the
future. In the last six months, we've launched six new exchange traded products
and in the past year our assets have grown more than 27%.
Because of their cost-effectiveness, transparency, convenience and
accessibility, ETFs can be a beneficial part of most investor portfolios.
However, lack of education about the products can be a barrier for many
investors. For example, a Rydex survey of individual mutual fund investors in
2007 found that more than half (53%) of investors do not know the difference
between a mutual fund and ETF and 38% don't know what an ETF is.(1) Rydex
believes that investors need to be knowledgeable about their investment
selections -- whether they choose ETFs or any other investment option. That's
why we created ETF Essentials(TM) -- a comprehensive guide to ETFs -- to help
boost ETF knowledge for both advisors and their clients. ETF Essentials presents
information in simple, understandable language and is available via podcast
(audio downloads), print and online. It's free and can be requested on the Rydex
web site (www.rydexinvestments.com).
MARKET RECAP
The six-month period ending April 30 was a momentous one in many respects. The
U.S. financial system teetered on the brink of collapse as the ongoing crisis in
the nation's credit markets seemed to threaten the solvency of many major Wall
Street institutions. Indeed, financial market turmoil, the magnitude of which
had not been seen in decades, led to the dramatic collapse of Bear Stearns, a
powerhouse investment bank that traced its origins back to the 1920s and had
successfully weathered the Great Depression.
References to the Great Depression are appropriate since many of the emergency
actions taken by the Fed to keep the financial system afloat during this period
had their origins in that earlier crisis. The acceptance of mortgage-backed debt
as collateral, and lending to non-depository institutions in particular are
policies taken straight from the 1930s.
Most financial crises lead to the demise of at least one major financial
institution -- think of Penn Central, Continental Illinois and Long Term Capital
Management -- and this one was no exception. If there is good news here, it is
that collapses, such as Bear Stearns in March, usually signify the beginning of
the end of a financial panic. True to form, once it was clear that other major
financial institutions did not face solvency issues along the lines of Bear
Stearns, stocks soared in a classic relief rally.
Although there was a perceptible shift in sentiment at the tail end of the
period, it was not enough to reverse what was a difficult period for stocks. The
bellwether S&P 500 fell nearly 10% as investors ran to the safety of U.S.
Treasury securities, pulling long-term interest rates to five-year lows in the
process. The Fed slashed interest rates at the fastest pace in history, dropping
the widely watched Fed Funds target rate to 2.00% from 4.50% in five sweeping
moves. In this crisis environment the Fed, in conjunction with other central
banks, continuously pumped hundreds of billions of dollars of liquidity into the
global financial system. In fact, government at all levels was in full crisis
prevention mode. Congress and the Bush administration forged a $168 billion
fiscal stimulus plan with lightning speed and the nation's home lending
industry, in the form of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, was restructured to help
relieve pressure on the beleaguered housing market.
Risk exposures of all types were sold indiscriminately, hitting financials,
technology and consumer discretionary stocks particularly hard. Aggravated by a
weakening job market, falling housing values and rising inflation, consumer
sentiment levels hit multi-year lows. With all the ingredients for a recession
firmly in place -- shrinking payrolls, declining retail sales, curtailed capital
spending plans and falling wealth levels -- economic activity essentially
crawled to a halt. The cheap U.S. dollar fueled a boom in exports, which kept
economic growth just barely in the black.
One outgrowth of the dollar's descent in foreign exchange markets was a
corresponding rise in commodity prices. The speculative boom in commodity prices
reached a frenzy, putting commodity index levels at 10-year highs. Much of that
was driven by oil, the price of which rose in excess of 20% and broke the
$100/bbl. level in early March.
(1) Rydex Investments in conjunction with e-Rewards Market Research
conducted this survey of individual investors in July 2007. The survey was
conducted with 500 individual mutual fund investors. All participants had
investable assets of more than $100K, with 150 of the participants having
investable assets of more than $500K. e-Rewards Market Research is not
affiliated with Rydex Investments. Although Rydex Investments believes the
information from this organization is correct, it cannot, and does not,
guarantee or warrant the completeness or suitability of this information.
SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT 3
An implicit part of the sentiment shift observed at the end of the quarter was
the notion that the Fed is no longer part of the problem but rather part of the
solution. In retrospect it appears that the Fed's policy responses throughout
the crisis have been effective and appropriate.
We appreciate the trust you have placed in our firm's quality and integrity by
investing with us. It is our goal to continue to offer you innovative ETF
choices to meet your investment needs.
Sincerely,
/s/ DAVID C. REILLY, CFA

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT 4
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE (UNAUDITED)
As a shareholder of the Rydex ETF Trust, you incur transaction costs such as
creation and redemption fees or brokerage charges, and ongoing costs including
advisory fees and, if applicable, distribution fees. All other Trust expenses
are paid by the advisor. This Example is intended to help you understand your
ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs
with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example in the table is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on
November 1, 2007 and held for the six months ended April 30, 2008.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first table below provides information about actual account values and
actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the
amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period.
Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value
divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first
table under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period" to
estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second table below provides information about hypothetical account values
and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed
rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not a Fund's actual
return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to
estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period.
Rather, these figures are provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of
investing in a Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical
example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports
of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your
ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as creation
and redemption fees, or brokerage charges. Therefore, the second table is useful
in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative
total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs
were included, your costs would have been higher.

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT 21
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) April 30, 2008
1. ORGANIZATION
Rydex ETF Trust (the "Trust") is an open-end, management investment company
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940
Act"). The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on November 22,
2002. As of April 30, 2008, the Trust offers twenty three portfolios, each of
which represents a separate series of beneficial interest in the Trust (each a
"Fund" and collectively the "Funds"). The financial statements herein relate to
the following two Funds: Rydex S&P Equal Weight ETF and Rydex Russell Top 50
ETF. Rydex S&P Equal Weight ETF commenced operations on April 24, 2003 and the
Rydex Russell Top 50 ETF commenced operations on May 4, 2005.
The Funds' investment objective is to provide investment results that correspond
generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of an index representing
publicly traded equity securities (the "Underlying Index"). Rydex S&P Equal
Weight ETF tracks the S&P 500 Equal Weight Total Return Index. Rydex Russell Top
50 ETF tracks the Russell Top 50(TM )Index. The Funds seek to achieve their
objective by investing in common stocks that comprise the Underlying Index. The
Funds use a "replication" strategy to track the Underlying Index. "Replication"
refers to investing in substantially all of the securities in the Underlying
Index in approximately the same proportions as in the Underlying Index.
The Funds operate as index funds and are not actively managed. Adverse
performance of a security in the Funds' portfolio will ordinarily not result in
the elimination of the security from the Funds' portfolio.
The Funds issue and redeem shares on a continuous basis, at net asset value,
only in aggregations of 50,000 shares called a "Creation Unit". Creation Units
are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in the
Underlying Index.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities and disclosures at the date of the financial statements and
accompanying notes and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net
assets from operations during the reporting period. Management believes that the
estimates utilized in preparing the Funds' financial statements are reasonable
and prudent; however, actual results could differ from these estimates.
A. SECURITY VALUATION
Securities listed on a domestic securities exchange are valued based on the last
sale price as of the close of regular trading hours on the New York Stock
Exchange or, in the absence of recorded sales, are valued at the most recent bid
price. Securities for which the primary market is the National Association of
Securities Dealers Automated Quotations National Market System ("NASDAQ") are
valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. The Funds invest in money market
mutual funds, which are valued at their NAV.
Securities, for which market quotations are not readily available, including
investments that are subject to limitations as to their sale, are valued at fair
value as determined in good faith by the Advisor in accordance with procedures
adopted by the Board of Trustees. In determining fair value, consideration is
given to market conditions, relative benchmarks and other financial data.
B. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION
Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses
from portfolio fund transactions are calculated on the identified cost basis.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of foreign tax
withholdings. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.
C. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions. In a
repurchase agreement, a Fund buys a security and the seller simultaneously
agrees to repurchase the security on a specified future date at an agreed-upon
price. The repurchase price reflects an agreed-upon interest rate during the
time the Fund's money is invested in the security. Because the security
constitutes collateral for the repurchase obligation, a repurchase agreement can
be considered a collateralized loan. The Funds follows certain procedures
designed to minimize the risks inherent in such agreements. These procedures
include effecting repurchase transactions only with large, well-capitalized and
well-established financial institutions whose condition will be continually
monitored by Rydex Global Advisors, which acts as the Funds' investment advisor
(the "Advisor"). In addition, the value of the collateral underlying the
repurchase
SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT 22
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
agreement will always be at least equal to the repurchase price, including any
accrued interest earned on the repurchase agreement. In the event of a default
or bankruptcy by a selling financial institution, the Funds will seek to
liquidate such collateral. However, the exercising of the Funds right to
liquidate such collateral could involve certain costs or delays and, to the
extent that proceeds from any sale upon a default of the obligation to
repurchase were less than the repurchase price, the Funds could suffer a loss.
It is the current policy of the Funds not to invest in repurchase agreements
that do not mature within seven days if any such investment, together with any
other illiquid assets held by the Funds, amounts to more than 15% of the Funds
net assets. The investments of the Funds in repurchase agreements, at times, may
be substantial when, in the view of the Advisor, liquidity or other
considerations so warrant. For the six months ended April 30, 2008, the Funds
had not engaged in repurchase transactions.
D. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The Funds policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code
applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of the
taxable income and capital gains, if any, to the shareholders within the
allowable time limits. Therefore, no provision for Federal income taxes is
required.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with Federal
income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to
differing treatments for in-kind redemptions, income reclassifications from real
estate investment trusts ("REITs") and losses deferred due to wash sales.
For the six months ended April 30, 2008, the Funds realized net capital gains
resulting from in-kind redemptions and other transactions. Because gains from
in-kind redemptions are not taxable to the Funds, and are not distributed to
existing Fund shareholders, the gains are reclassified from accumulated net
realized gains to paid-in-capital at the end of the Funds tax year. These
reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. The
in-kind net capital gains for the six months ended April 30, 2008 are disclosed
in the Fund's Statement of Operations.
At April 30, 2008, the Funds had capital loss carryforwards which may be
utilized to offset any net realized capital gains expiring October 31:
2013 2014 2015
------- -------- -------
Rydex S&P Equal Weight ETF.................................. $ -- $ -- --
Rydex Russell Top 50 ETF.................................... 88,468 675,404 618,363
|
E. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
The Funds declare and pay dividends from net investment income and distribute
from net realized capital gains at least annually.
F. RISK AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Trust invests in various investments which are exposed to risk, such as
market risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments it is
at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities
will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect
amounts reported in the financial statements. The Rydex Russell Top 50 ETF is a
non-diversified fund, subjecting it to a greater risk than a fund that is
diversified.
G. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") released
FASB Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" ("FIN
48"). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be
recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN
48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the
course of preparing the Funds' tax returns to determine whether the tax
positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax
authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet a more-likely-than-not threshold
would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is
required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied
to all open tax years as of the effective date.
Management evaluated the implications of FIN 48 and determined that all tax
positions meet the "more-likely than not" threshold. As a result, the financial
statements have not been impacted by the adoption of FIN 48. However,
management's conclusions regarding FIN 48 are subject to review and adjustment
at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, further
implementation guidance expected from FASB, and on-going analysis of tax laws,
regulation, and interpretations thereof.
SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT 23
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
In September, 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair
Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"), was issued and is effective for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the
adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Funds' financial statements. Management
does not anticipate SFAS 157 will have a material impact on the Funds' financial
statements.
In March, 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161,
"Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 161")
was issued and is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after
November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about Funds'
derivative and hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the
impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS 161 will have on the Funds' financial
statement disclosures.
3. ADVISORY, ADMINISTRATION AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Advisor determines the composition of the portfolio of securities that must
be delivered in exchange for the issuance of Creation Units and periodically
adjusts the composition of the portfolio of the Funds to conform to changes in
the composition of the relevant index. For these services, the Advisor receives
an advisory fee at the annual rate shown below of the average daily net assets
of the Funds.
ADVISORY FEE
------------
Rydex S&P Equal Weight ETF........................................... 0.40%
Rydex Russell Top 50 ETF............................................. 0.20%
|
The Advisor pays all expenses of the Funds, including the cost of transfer
agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except:
interest, taxes, distribution fees or expenses and extraordinary expenses.
Under an Administration Agreement, State Street Bank and Trust Company (the
"Administrator") provides various administrative and accounting services for the
maintenance and operations of the Funds. Under a Custodian Agreement with the
Trust, the Administrator maintains cash, securities and other assets of the
Trust and the Funds in separate accounts for each fund, keeps all necessary
accounts and records, and provides other services. The Administrator is
required, upon the order of the Trust, to deliver securities held by the
Custodian and to make payments for securities purchased by the Trust for the
Funds. Pursuant to a Transfer Agency and Service Agreement with the Trust, the
Administrator acts as a transfer agent for the Trust's authorized and issued
shares of beneficial interest, and as dividend disbursing agent of the Trust.
The Advisor compensates the Administrator directly for the foregoing services.
The Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") that allows the Funds to
pay distribution fees to Rydex Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor") and other
firms that provide distribution services ("Service Providers"). If a Service
Provider provides distribution services, the Funds will pay distribution fees to
the Distributor at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of average daily net
assets, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The Distributor will, in turn,
pay the Service Provider out of its fees. No such fee is currently charged to
the Funds.
4. CAPITAL
At April 30, 2008, there were an unlimited number of no par value shares of
beneficial interest authorized. There is a minimum transaction fee per
transaction to those persons purchasing or redeeming Creation Units. An
additional charge of up to three times the standard transaction fee may be
imposed for purchases and redemptions effected outside the National Securities
Clearing Corporation usual clearing process or for cash. Such transactions are
generally permitted on an in-kind basis, with a balancing cash component to
equate the transaction to the net asset value per unit of the Fund on the
transaction date. The minimum transaction fees are:
MINIMUM

There were no purchases or sales of U.S. government or government agency
obligations for the six months ended April 30, 2008.
The identified cost of investments in securities owned by each Fund for federal
income tax purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial
reporting purposes. Accordingly, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation

6. ACQUISITION OF RYDEX INVESTMENTS AND THE DISTRIBUTOR
At the close of business on January 17, 2008, Rydex NV, Inc., comprised of Rydex
Investments, together with several other Rydex entities, was acquired by
Security Benefit Corporation ("Security Benefit"), a financial services firm
that provides a broad variety of financial programs to investors in the advisor,
banking, education, government, institutional, and qualified plan markets (the
"Transaction"). As a result of the Transaction's completion, Rydex Investments
and the Distributor are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Security Benefit. While the
Transaction has no material impact on the Funds or their shareholders, it
resulted in a change of control of Rydex Investments, which in turn caused the
termination of the investment advisory agreement between Rydex Investments and
the Funds.
A new investment advisory agreement between Rydex Investments and the Funds was
approved under substantially the same terms as the previous investment advisory
agreement (the "New Agreement"). This New Agreement was approved by
shareholders, via proxy, and took effect upon the closing of the Transaction.
The Transaction had no impact on the day-to-day operations of Rydex Investments,
the fees payable to Rydex Investments under the New Agreement, or the persons
responsible for the management of the Funds.

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT 2
DEAR SHAREHOLDER,
Rydex is a proud participant in the ETF space, having $6.1 million in ETF
assets, 31 exchange traded products and plans to introduce many more in the
future. In the last six months, we've launched six new exchange traded products
and in the past year our assets have grown more than 27%.
Because of their cost-effectiveness, transparency, convenience and
accessibility, ETFs can be a beneficial part of most investor portfolios.
However, lack of education about the products can be a barrier for many
investors. For example, a Rydex survey of individual mutual fund investors in
2007 found that more than half (53%) of investors do not know the difference
between a mutual fund and ETF and 38% don't know what an ETF is.(1) Rydex
believes that investors need to be knowledgeable about their investment
selections -- whether they choose ETFs or any other investment option. That's
why we created ETF Essentials(TM) -- a comprehensive guide to ETFs -- to help
boost ETF knowledge for both advisors and their clients. ETF Essentials presents
information in simple, understandable language and is available via podcast
(audio downloads), print and online. It's free and can be requested on the Rydex
web site (www.rydexinvestments.com).
MARKET RECAP
The six-month period ending April 30 was a momentous one in many respects. The
U.S. financial system teetered on the brink of collapse as the ongoing crisis in
the nation's credit markets seemed to threaten the solvency of many major Wall
Street institutions. Indeed, financial market turmoil, the magnitude of which
had not been seen in decades, led to the dramatic collapse of Bear Stearns, a
powerhouse investment bank that traced its origins back to the 1920s and had
successfully weathered the Great Depression.
References to the Great Depression are appropriate since many of the emergency
actions taken by the Fed to keep the financial system afloat during this period
had their origins in that earlier crisis. The acceptance of mortgage-backed debt
as collateral, and lending to non-depository institutions in particular are
policies taken straight from the 1930s.
Most financial crises lead to the demise of at least one major financial
institution -- think of Penn Central, Continental Illinois and Long Term Capital
Management -- and this one was no exception. If there is good news here, it is
that collapses, such as Bear Stearns in March, usually signify the beginning of
the end of a financial panic. True to form, once it was clear that other major
financial institutions did not face solvency issues along the lines of Bear
Stearns, stocks soared in a classic relief rally.
Although there was a perceptible shift in sentiment at the tail end of the
period, it was not enough to reverse what was a difficult period for stocks. The
bellwether S&P 500 fell nearly 10% as investors ran to the safety of U.S.
Treasury securities, pulling long-term interest rates to five-year lows in the
process. The Fed slashed interest rates at the fastest pace in history, dropping
the widely watched Fed Funds target rate to 2.00% from 4.50% in five sweeping
moves. In this crisis environment the Fed, in conjunction with other central
banks, continuously pumped hundreds of billions of dollars of liquidity into the
global financial system. In fact, government at all levels was in full crisis
prevention mode. Congress and the Bush administration forged a $168 billion
fiscal stimulus plan with lightning speed and the nation's home lending
industry, in the form of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, was restructured to help
relieve pressure on the beleaguered housing market.
Risk exposures of all types were sold indiscriminately, hitting financials,
technology and consumer discretionary stocks particularly hard. Aggravated by a
weakening job market, falling housing values and rising inflation, consumer
sentiment levels hit multi-year lows. With all the ingredients for a recession
firmly in place -- shrinking payrolls, declining retail sales, curtailed capital
spending plans and falling wealth levels -- economic activity essentially
crawled to a halt. The cheap U.S. dollar fueled a boom in exports, which kept
economic growth just barely in the black.
One outgrowth of the dollar's descent in foreign exchange markets was a
corresponding rise in commodity prices. The speculative boom in commodity prices
reached a frenzy, putting commodity index levels at 10-year highs. Much of that
was driven by oil, the price of which rose in excess of 20% and broke the
$100/bbl. level in early March.
(1) Rydex Investments in conjunction with e-Rewards Market Research
conducted this survey of individual investors in July 2007. The survey was
conducted with 500 individual mutual fund investors. All participants had
investable assets of more than $100K, with 150 of the participants having
investable assets of more than $500K. e-Rewards Market Research is not
affiliated with Rydex Investments. Although Rydex Investments believes the
information from this organization is correct, it cannot, and does not,
guarantee or warrant the completeness or suitability of this information.
SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT 3
An implicit part of the sentiment shift observed at the end of the quarter was
the notion that the Fed is no longer part of the problem but rather part of the
solution. In retrospect it appears that the Fed's policy responses throughout
the crisis have been effective and appropriate.
We appreciate the trust you have placed in our firm's quality and integrity by
investing with us. It is our goal to continue to offer you innovative ETF
choices to meet your investment needs.
Sincerely,
/s/ DAVID C. REILLY, CFA

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT 4
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE (UNAUDITED)
As a shareholder of the Rydex ETF Trust, you incur transaction costs such as
creation and redemption fees or brokerage charges, and ongoing costs including
advisory fees and, if applicable, distribution fees. All other Trust expenses
are paid by the advisor. This Example is intended to help you understand your
ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs
with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example in the table is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on
November 1, 2007 and held for the six months ended April 30, 2008.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first table below provides information about actual account values and
actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the
amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period.
Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value
divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first
table under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period" to
estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second table below provides information about hypothetical account values
and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed
rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not a Fund's actual
return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to
estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period.
Rather, these figures are provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of
investing in a Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical
example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports
of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your
ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as creation
and redemption fees, or brokerage charges. Therefore, the second table is useful
in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative
total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs
were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) April 30, 2008
1. ORGANIZATION
Rydex ETF Trust (the "Trust") is an open-end, management investment company
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940
Act"). The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on November 22,
2002. As of April 30, 2008, the Trust offers twenty three portfolios, each of
which represents a separate series of beneficial interest in the Trust, (each a
"Fund" and collectively, the "Funds"). The financial statement herein relate to
the following Funds: Rydex S&P 500 Pure Value ETF, Rydex S&P 500 Pure Growth
ETF, Rydex S&P MidCap 400 Pure Value ETF, Rydex S&P MidCap 400 Pure Growth ETF,
Rydex S&P SmallCap 600 Pure Value ETF, Rydex S&P SmallCap 600 Pure Growth ETF,

Financials ETF, Rydex S&P Equal Weight Health Care ETF, Rydex S&P Equal Weight
Industrials ETF, Rydex S&P Equal Weight Materials ETF, Rydex S&P Equal Weight
Technology ETF and Rydex S&P Equal Weight Utilities ETF. Rydex S&P 500 Pure
Value ETF, Rydex S&P 500 Pure Growth ETF, Rydex S&P MidCap 400 Pure Value ETF,
Rydex S&P MidCap 400 Pure Growth ETF, Rydex S&P SmallCap 600 Pure Value ETF and
Rydex S&P SmallCap 600 Pure Growth ETF commenced operations on March 1, 2006.
Rydex S&P Equal Weight Consumer Discretionary ETF, Rydex S&P Equal Weight
Consumer Staples ETF, Rydex S&P Equal Weight Energy ETF, Rydex S&P Equal Weight
Financials ETF, Rydex S&P Equal Weight Health Care ETF, Rydex S&P Equal Weight
Industrials ETF, Rydex S&P Equal Weight Materials ETF, Rydex S&P Equal Weight
Technology ETF and Rydex S&P Equal Weight Utilities ETF commenced operations on
November 1, 2006.
The Funds' investment objective is to provide investment results that correspond
generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of an index representing
publicly traded equity securities (the "Underlying Index"). Rydex S&P 500 Pure
Value ETF tracks the S&P 500/Citigroup Pure Value Index, the Rydex S&P 500 Pure
Growth ETF tracks the S&P 500/Citigroup Pure Growth Index, the Rydex S&P MidCap
400 Pure Value ETF tracks the S&P MidCap 400/Citigroup Pure Value Index, the
Rydex S&P MidCap 400 Pure Growth ETF tracks the S&P MidCap 400/Citigroup Pure
Growth Index, the Rydex S&P SmallCap 600 Pure Value ETF tracks the S&P SmallCap
600/Citigroup Pure Value Index, the Rydex S&P SmallCap 600 Pure Growth ETF
tracks the S&P SmallCap 600/Citigroup Pure Growth Index, Rydex S&P Equal Weight
Consumer Discretionary ETF tracks the S&P Equal Weight Index Consumer
Discretionary, the Rydex S&P Equal Weight Consumer Staples ETF tracks the S&P
Equal Weight Index Consumer Staples, the Rydex S&P Equal Weight Energy ETF
tracks the S&P Equal Weight Index Energy, the Rydex S&P Equal Weight Financials
ETF tracks the S&P Equal Weight Index Financials, the Rydex S&P Equal Weight
Health Care ETF tracks the S&P Equal Weight Index Health Care, the Rydex S&P
Equal Weight Industrials ETF tracks the S&P Equal Weight Index Industrials, the
Rydex S&P Equal Weight Materials ETF tracks the S&P Equal Weight Index
Materials, the Rydex S&P Equal Weight Technology ETF tracks the S&P Equal Weight
Index Information Technology and the Rydex S&P Equal Weight Utilities ETF tracks
the S&P Equal Weight Index Telecommunication Services & Utilities. The Funds
seek to achieve their objective by investing in common stocks that comprise the
Underlying Index. The Funds use a "replication" strategy to track the Underlying
Index. "Replication" refers to investing in substantially all of the securities
in the Underlying Index in approximately the same proportions as in the
Underlying Index.
The Funds operate as index funds and are not actively managed. Adverse
performance of a security in the Funds' portfolio will ordinarily not result in
the elimination of the security from the Funds' portfolio.
The Funds issue and redeem shares on a continuous basis, at net asset value,
only in aggregations of 50,000 shares called a "Creation Unit". Creation Units
are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in the
Underlying Index.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities and disclosures at the date of the financial statements and
accompanying notes and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net
assets from operations during the reporting period. Management believes that the
estimates utilized in preparing the Funds' financial statements are reasonable
and prudent; however, actual results could differ from these estimates.
A. SECURITY VALUATION
Securities listed on a domestic securities exchange are valued based on the last
sale price as of the close of regular trading hours on the New York Stock
Exchange or, in the absence of recorded sales, are valued at the most recent bid
price. Securities for which the primary market is the National Association of
Securities Dealers Automated Quotations National Market System ("NASDAQ") are
valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. The Funds invest in money market
mutual funds, which are valued at their NAV.
Securities, for which market quotations are not readily available, including
investments that are subject to limitations as to their sale, are valued at fair
value as determined in good faith by the Advisor in accordance with procedures
adopted by the Board of Trustees. In determining fair value, consideration is
given to market conditions, relative benchmarks and other financial data.
SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT 71
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
B. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION
Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses
from portfolio fund transactions are calculated on the identified cost basis.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of foreign tax
withholdings. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.
C. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions. In a
repurchase agreement, a Fund buys a security and the seller simultaneously
agrees to repurchase the security on a specified future date at an agreed-upon
price. The repurchase price reflects an agreed-upon interest rate during the
time the Fund's money is invested in the security. Because the security
constitutes collateral for the repurchase obligation, a repurchase agreement can
be considered a collateralized loan. The Funds follows certain procedures
designed to minimize the risks inherent in such agreements. These procedures
include effecting repurchase transactions only with large, well-capitalized and
well-established financial institutions whose condition will be continually
monitored by Rydex Global Advisors, which acts as the Funds' investment advisor
(the "Advisor"). In addition, the value of the collateral underlying the
repurchase agreement will always be at least equal to the repurchase price,
including any accrued interest earned on the repurchase agreement. In the event
of a default or bankruptcy by a selling financial institution, the Funds will
seek to liquidate such collateral. However, the exercising of the Funds right to
liquidate such collateral could involve certain costs or delays and, to the
extent that proceeds from any sale upon a default of the obligation to
repurchase were less than the repurchase price, the Funds could suffer a loss.
It is the current policy of the Funds not to invest in repurchase agreements
that do not mature within seven days if any such investment, together with any
other illiquid assets held by the Funds, amounts to more than 15% of the Funds
net assets. The investments of the Funds in repurchase agreements, at times, may
be substantial when, in the view of the Advisor, liquidity or other
considerations so warrant. For the six months ended April 30, 2008, the Funds
had not engaged in repurchase transactions.
D. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The Funds policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code
applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of the
taxable income and capital gains, if any, to the shareholders within the
allowable time limits. Therefore, no provision for Federal income taxes is
required.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with Federal
income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to
differing treatments for in-kind redemptions, income reclassifications from real
estate investment trusts ("REITs") and losses deferred due to wash sales.
For the six months ended April 30, 2008, the Funds realized net capital gains
resulting from in-kind redemptions and other transactions. Because gains from
in-kind redemptions are not taxable to the Funds, and are not distributed to
existing Fund shareholders, the gains are reclassified from accumulated net
realized gains to paid-in-capital at the end of the Funds tax year. These
reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. The
in-kind net capital gains for the six months ended April 30, 2008 are disclosed
in the Fund's Statement of Operations.
At April 30, 2008, the Funds had capital loss carryforwards which may be
utilized to offset any net realized capital gains expiring October 31:

E. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
The Funds declare and pay dividends from net investment income and distribute
from net realized capital gains at least annually.
SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT 72
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
F. RISK AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Trust invests in various investments which are exposed to risk, such as
market risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments it is
at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities
will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect
amounts reported in the financial statements. The Rydex S&P Equal Weight Sector
ETFs are non-diversified funds, subjecting them to a greater risk than funds
that are diversified.
G. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") released
FASB Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" ("FIN
48"). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be
recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN
48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the
course of preparing the Funds' tax returns to determine whether the tax
positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax
authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet a more-likely-than-not threshold
would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is
required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied
to all open tax years as of the effective date.
Management evaluated the implications of FIN 48 and determined that all tax
positions meet the "more-likely than not" threshold. As a result, the financial
statements have not been impacted by the adoption of FIN 48. However,
management's conclusions regarding FIN 48 are subject to review and adjustment
at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, further
implementation guidance expected from FASB, and on-going analysis of tax laws,
regulation, and interpretations thereof.
In September, 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair
Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"), was issued and is effective for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the
adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Funds' financial statements. Management
does not anticipate SFAS 157 will have a material impact on the Funds' financial
statements.
In March, 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161,
"Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 161")
was issued and is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after
November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about Funds'
derivative and hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the
impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS 161 will have on the Funds' financial
statement disclosures.
3. ADVISORY, ADMINISTRATION AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Advisor determines the composition of the portfolio of securities that must
be delivered in exchange for the issuance of Creation Units and periodically
adjusts the composition of the portfolio of the Funds to conform to changes in
the composition of the relevant index. For these services, the Advisor receives
an advisory fee at the annual rate shown below of the average daily net assets
of the Funds.

The Advisor pays all expenses of the Funds, including the cost of transfer
agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except:
interest, taxes, distribution fees or expenses and extraordinary expenses.
Under an Administration Agreement, State Street Bank and Trust Company (the
"Administrator") provides various administrative and accounting services for the
maintenance and operations of the Funds. Under a Custodian Agreement with the
Trust, the Administrator maintains cash, securities and other assets of the
Trust and the Funds in separate accounts for each fund, keeps all necessary
accounts and records, and provides other services. The Administrator is
required, upon the order of the Trust, to deliver securities held by the
Custodian and to make payments for securities purchased by the Trust for the
Funds. Pursuant to a Transfer Agency and Service
SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT 73
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
Agreement with the Trust, the Administrator acts as a transfer agent for the
Trust's authorized and issued shares of beneficial interest, and as dividend
disbursing agent of the Trust. The Advisor compensates the Administrator
directly for the foregoing services.
The Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") that allows the Funds to
pay distribution fees to Rydex Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor") and other
firms that provide distribution services ("Service Providers"). If a Service
Provider provides distribution services, the Funds will pay distribution fees to
the Distributor at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of average daily net
assets, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The Distributor will, in turn,
pay the Service Provider out of its fees. No such fee is currently charged to
the Funds.
4. CAPITAL
At April 30, 2008, there were an unlimited number of no par value shares of
beneficial interest authorized. There is a minimum transaction fee per
transaction to those persons purchasing or redeeming Creation Units. An
additional charge of up to three times the standard transaction fee may be
imposed for purchases and redemptions effected outside the National Securities
Clearing Corporation usual clearing process or for cash. Such transactions are
generally permitted on an in-kind basis, with a balancing cash component to
equate the transaction to the net asset value per unit of the Fund on the
transaction date. The minimum transaction fees are:

6. ACQUISITION OF RYDEX INVESTMENTS AND THE DISTRIBUTOR
At the close of business on January 17, 2008, Rydex NV, Inc., comprised of Rydex
Investments, together with several other Rydex entities, was acquired by
Security Benefit Corporation ("Security Benefit"), a financial services firm
that provides a broad variety of financial programs to investors in the advisor,
banking, education, government, institutional, and qualified plan markets (the
"Transaction"). As a result of the Transaction's completion, Rydex Investments
and the Distributor are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Security Benefit. While the
Transaction has no material impact on the Funds or their shareholders, it
resulted in a change of control of Rydex Investments, which in turn caused the
termination of the investment advisory agreement between Rydex Investments and
the Funds.
A new investment advisory agreement between Rydex Investments and the Funds was
approved under substantially the same terms as the previous investment advisory
agreement (the "New Agreement"). This New Agreement was approved by
shareholders, via proxy, and took effect upon the closing of the Transaction.
The Transaction had no impact on the day-to-day operations of Rydex Investments,
the fees payable to Rydex Investments under the New Agreement, or the persons
responsible for the management of the Funds.

DEAR SHAREHOLDER,
Rydex is a proud participant in the ETF space, having $6.1 million in ETF
assets, 31 exchange traded products and plans to introduce many more in the
future. In the last six months, we've launched six new exchange traded products
and in the past year our assets have grown more than 27%.
Because of their cost-effectiveness, transparency, convenience and
accessibility, ETFs can be a beneficial part of most investor portfolios.
However, lack of education about the products can be a barrier for many
investors. For example, a Rydex survey of individual mutual fund investors in
2007 found that more than half (53%) of investors do not know the difference
between a mutual fund and ETF and 38% don't know what an ETF is.(1) Rydex
believes that investors need to be knowledgeable about their investment
selections -- whether they choose ETFs or any other investment option. That's
why we created ETF Essentials(TM) -- a comprehensive guide to ETFs -- to help
boost ETF knowledge for both advisors and their clients. ETF Essentials presents
information in simple, understandable language and is available via podcast
(audio downloads), print and online. It's free and can be requested on the Rydex
web site (www.rydexinvestments.com).
MARKET RECAP
The six-month period ending April 30 was a momentous one in many respects. The
U.S. financial system teetered on the brink of collapse as the ongoing crisis in
the nation's credit markets seemed to threaten the solvency of many major Wall
Street institutions. Indeed, financial market turmoil, the magnitude of which
had not been seen in decades, led to the dramatic collapse of Bear Stearns, a
powerhouse investment bank that traced its origins back to the 1920s and had
successfully weathered the Great Depression.
References to the Great Depression are appropriate since many of the emergency
actions taken by the Fed to keep the financial system afloat during this period
had their origins in that earlier crisis. The acceptance of mortgage-backed debt
as collateral, and lending to non-depository institutions in particular are
policies taken straight from the 1930s.
Most financial crises lead to the demise of at least one major financial
institution -- think of Penn Central, Continental Illinois and Long Term Capital
Management -- and this one was no exception. If there is good news here, it is
that collapses, such as Bear Stearns in March, usually signify the beginning of
the end of a financial panic. True to form, once it was clear that other major
financial institutions did not face solvency issues along the lines of Bear
Stearns, stocks soared in a classic relief rally.
Although there was a perceptible shift in sentiment at the tail end of the
period, it was not enough to reverse what was a difficult period for stocks. The
bellwether S&P 500 fell nearly 10% as investors ran to the safety of U.S.
Treasury securities, pulling long-term interest rates to five-year lows in the
process. The Fed slashed interest rates at the fastest pace in history, dropping
the widely watched Fed Funds target rate to 2.00% from 4.50% in five sweeping
moves. In this crisis environment the Fed, in conjunction with other central
banks, continuously pumped hundreds of billions of dollars of liquidity into the
global financial system. In fact, government at all levels was in full crisis
prevention mode. Congress and the Bush administration forged a $168 billion
fiscal stimulus plan with lightning speed and the nation's home lending
industry, in the form of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, was restructured to help
relieve pressure on the beleaguered housing market.
Risk exposures of all types were sold indiscriminately, hitting financials,
technology and consumer discretionary stocks particularly hard. Aggravated by a
weakening job market, falling housing values and rising inflation, consumer
sentiment levels hit multi-year lows. With all the ingredients for a recession
firmly in place -- shrinking payrolls, declining retail sales, curtailed capital
spending plans and falling wealth levels -- economic activity essentially
crawled to a halt. The cheap U.S. dollar fueled a boom in exports, which kept
economic growth just barely in the black.
One outgrowth of the dollar's descent in foreign exchange markets was a
corresponding rise in commodity prices. The speculative boom in commodity prices
reached a frenzy, putting commodity index levels at 10-year highs. Much of that
was driven by oil, the price of which rose in excess of 20% and broke the
$100/bbl. level in early March.
(1) Rydex Investments in conjunction with e-Rewards Market Research
conducted this survey of individual investors in July 2007. The survey was
conducted with 500 individual mutual fund investors. All participants had
investable assets of more than $100K, with 150 of the participants having
investable assets of more than $500K. e-Rewards Market Research is not
affiliated with Rydex Investments. Although Rydex Investments believes the
information from this organization is correct, it cannot, and does not,
guarantee or warrant the completeness or suitability of this information.
SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT 3
An implicit part of the sentiment shift observed at the end of the quarter was
the notion that the Fed is no longer part of the problem but rather part of the
solution. In retrospect it appears that the Fed's policy responses throughout
the crisis have been effective and appropriate.
We appreciate the trust you have placed in our firm's quality and integrity by
investing with us. It is our goal to continue to offer you innovative ETF
choices to meet your investment needs.
Sincerely,
/s/ DAVID C. REILLY, CFA

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT 4
A BRIEF NOTE ON THE COMPOUNDING OF RETURNS (Unaudited)
Many of the Rydex Funds described in this report are benchmarked daily to
leveraged or inverse leveraged versions of published indices. To properly
evaluate the performance of these funds, it is essential to understand the
effect of mathematical compounding on their respective returns.
Because of the nonlinear effects of leverage applied over time, it is possible
for a fund to perform in line with its benchmark for several individual periods
in a row, yet seem to trail the benchmark over the entire period. It is also
possible that a fund that performs in-line with its benchmark on a daily basis
may seem to outperform its benchmark over longer periods.
AN EXAMPLE OF COMPOUNDING
For example, consider a hypothetical fund that is designed to produce returns
that correspond to 150% of an index. On the first day of a period, the index
rises from a level of 100 to a level of 106, producing a 6.0% gain and an
expectation that the fund will rise by 9.0%. On the same day, the fund's net
asset value ("NAV") increases from $10.00 to $10.90 for a gain of 9.0% -- in
line with its benchmark.
On day two, assume the index falls from 106 to 99 for a loss of about 6.6%. The
fund, as expected, falls 9.9% to a price of $9.82. On each day, the fund
performed exactly in line with its benchmark, but for the two-day period, the
fund was down 1.8%, while the index was down only 1.0%. Without taking into
account the daily compounding of returns, one would expect the fund to lose 1.5%
and would see the fund as trailing by 0.3% when in fact it had performed
perfectly. This example is summarized in the table below.
INDEX INDEX FUND FUND FUND

As illustrated by this simple example, the effect of leverage can make it
difficult to form expectations or judgments about fund performance given only
the returns of the unleveraged index.
In general, any change in direction in an index will produce compounding that
seems to work against an investor. Were the index to move in the same direction
(either up or down) for two or more periods in a row, the compounding of those
returns would work in an investor's favor, causing the fund to seemingly beat
its benchmark.
As a general rule of thumb, more leverage in a fund will magnify the compounding
effect, while less leverage will generally produce results that are more in line
with expectations. In addition, periods of high volatility in an underlying
index will also cause the effects of compounding to be more pronounced, while
lower volatility will produce a more muted effect.
SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT 5
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE (UNAUDITED)
As a shareholder of the Rydex ETF Trust, you incur transaction costs such as
creation and redemption fees or brokerage charges, and ongoing costs including
advisory fees, trustee fees and, if applicable, distribution fees. All other
Trust expenses are paid by the advisor. This Example is intended to help you
understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare
these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example in the table is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on
November 5, 2007 and held for the period ended April 30, 2008.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first table below provides information about actual account values and
actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the
amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period.
Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value
divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first
table under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During the Period" to estimate
the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second table below provides information about hypothetical account values
and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed
rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not a Fund's actual
return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to
estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period.
Rather, these figures are provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of
investing in a Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical
example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports
of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your
ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as creation
and redemption fees, or brokerage charges. Therefore, the second table is useful
in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative
total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs
were included, your costs would have been higher.

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT 53
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) April 30, 2008
1. ORGANIZATION
Rydex ETF Trust (the "Trust") is an open-end, management investment company
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940
Act"). The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on November 22,
2002. As of April 30, 2008, the Trust offers of twenty three portfolios, each of
which represent a separate series of beneficial interest in the Trust (each a
"Fund" and collectively, the "Funds"). The financial statements herein relate to
the following Funds: Rydex 2x S&P 500 ETF, Rydex Inverse 2x S&P 500 ETF, Rydex
2x S&P MidCap 400 ETF, Rydex Inverse 2x S&P MidCap 400 ETF, Rydex 2x Russell
2000(R) ETF, and Rydex Inverse 2x Russell 2000(R) ETF. The Funds commenced
operations on November 5, 2007.
The Funds' investment objective is to provide investment results that match the
performance of a specific benchmark, before fees and expenses, on a daily basis.
For Rydex 2x S&P 500 ETF, Rydex 2x S&P MidCap 400 ETF, and Rydex 2x Russell
2000(R) ETF (each, a "Leveraged Fund" and collectively, the "Leveraged Funds"),
each Fund's benchmark is 200% of the performance of an index representing
publicly traded equity securities (the "Underlying Index"). For Rydex Inverse 2x
S&P 500 ETF, Rydex Inverse 2x S&P MidCap 400 ETF, and Rydex Inverse 2x Russell
2000(R) ETF (each, a "Leveraged Inverse Fund" and collectively, the "Leveraged
Inverse Funds"), each Fund's benchmark is 200% of the inverse (opposite)
performance of its Underlying Index. The Underlying Index for Rydex 2x S&P 500
ETF and Rydex Inverse 2x S&P 500 ETF is the S&P 500 Index. The Underlying Index
for the Rydex 2x S&P MidCap 400 ETF and the Rydex Inverse 2x S&P MidCap 400 ETF
is the S&P MidCap 400 Index. The Underlying Index for the Rydex 2x Russell
2000(R) ETF and the Rydex Inverse 2x Russell 2000(R) ETF is the Russell 2000(R)
Index.
The Leveraged Funds seek to achieve their objective by investing in equity
securities contained in the Underlying Index, and leveraged derivative
instruments, such as equity index swaps, futures contracts, and options on
securities, futures contracts, and stock indices. The Leveraged Inverse Funds
seek to achieve their objective by engaging in short sales of securities and
investing in leveraged derivative instruments, such as equity index swaps,
futures contracts, and options on securities, futures contracts, and stock
indices.
The Funds operate as index funds and are not actively managed. Adverse
performance of a security in the Funds' portfolio will ordinarily not result in
the elimination of the security from the Funds' portfolio.
The Funds issue and redeem shares on a continuous basis, at net asset value,
only in aggregations of 50,000 shares called a "Creation Unit". Creation Units
are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in the
Underlying Index.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities and disclosures at the date of the financial statements and
accompanying notes and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net
assets from operations during the reporting period. Management believes that the
estimates utilized in preparing the Funds' financial statements are reasonable
and prudent; however, actual results could differ from these estimates.
A. SECURITY VALUATION
Securities listed on a domestic securities exchange are valued based on the last
sale price as of the close of regular trading hours on the New York Stock
Exchange or, in the absence of recorded sales, are valued at the most recent bid
price. Securities for which the primary market is the National Association of
Securities Dealers Automated Quotations National Market System ("NASDAQ") are
valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. The Funds invest in money market
mutual funds, which are valued at their NAV.
Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are fair
valued as determine in good faith by Rydex Investments under the direction of
the Board of Trustees using methods established or ratified by the Board of
Trustees. These methods include, but are not limited to: (i) general information
as to how these securities and assets trade, (ii) in connection with futures
contracts and options thereupon, and other derivative investments, information
as to how (a) these contracts and other derivative investments trade in the
futures or other derivative markets, respectively, and (b) the securities
underlying these contracts and other derivative investments trade in the cash
market, and (iii) other information and considerations, including current values
in related-markets.
Financial futures contracts are valued based on the unrealized gain or loss on
the contracts that is determined by the last quoted sales price, usually as of
4:00 PM on the valuation date on the exchange on which they trade.
Domestic equity index swap agreements entered into by a Fund are valued based on
the unrealized gain or loss on the agreements that is determined by marking the
agreements to the relevant index at the close of the NYSE, usually 4:00 PM or,
if there is an afternoon trade, to the "fill". The swaps' market values are then
adjusted to include dividends accrued, financing charges and/or interest
associated with the swap agreements.
Short-term securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market
price. Certain U.S. Government and Agency Obligations are traded on a discount
basis; the interest rates shown on the Schedule of Investments reflect the
current yield to maturity based on amortized cost as of the date of this report.
Other securities bear interest at the rates shown, payable at fixed dates
through
SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT 54
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
maturity. The Funds may also purchase American Depository Receipts, U.S.
Government securities, and enter into repurchase agreements.
B. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION
Security transactions are recorded as of trade date. Realized gains and losses
from portfolio fund transactions are calculated on the identified cost basis.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of foreign tax
withholdings. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Advisory fees,
which are directly identifiable to a specific Fund, are applied to that Fund.
Trustee fees which cannot be attributed to a Fund are allocated in such a manner
as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the relative net assets of the
Fund.
C. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions. In a
repurchase agreement, a Fund buys a security and the seller simultaneously
agrees to repurchase the security on a specified future date at an agreed-upon
price. The repurchase price reflects an agreed-upon interest rate during the
time the Fund's money is invested in the security. Because the security
constitutes collateral for the repurchase obligation, a repurchase agreement can
be considered a collateralized loan. The Funds follows certain procedures
designed to minimize the risks inherent in such agreements. These procedures
include effecting repurchase transactions only with large, well-capitalized and
well-established financial institutions whose condition will be continually
monitored by Rydex Global Advisors, which acts as the Funds' investment advisor
(the "Advisor"). In addition, the value of the collateral underlying the
repurchase agreement will always be at least equal to the repurchase price,
including any accrued interest earned on the repurchase agreement. In the event
of a default or bankruptcy by a selling financial institution, the Funds will
seek to liquidate such collateral. However, the exercising of the Funds right to
liquidate such collateral could involve certain costs or delays and, to the
extent that proceeds from any sale upon a default of the obligation to
repurchase were less than the repurchase price, the Funds could suffer a loss.
It is the current policy of the Funds not to invest in repurchase agreements
that do not mature within seven days if any such investment, together with any
other illiquid assets held by the Funds, amounts to more than 15% of the Funds
net assets. The investments of the Funds in repurchase agreements, at times, may
be substantial when, in the view of the Advisor, liquidity or other
considerations so warrant.
D. FUTURES CONTRACTS
The Funds may enter into stock index futures contracts and options on such
futures contracts. Futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of
securities at a specified futures delivery date and at a specific price. Upon
entering into a contract, a Fund deposits and maintains as collateral such
initial margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is effected.
Pursuant to the contract, the fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker
an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such
receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by the Fund
as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a
realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract
at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. There are
several risks in connection with the use of futures contracts. Risks may be
caused by an imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the
instruments and the price of the underlying securities. In addition, there is
the risk that a Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because
of an illiquid secondary market.
E. SWAP AGREEMENTS
The Funds may enter into domestic equity index swap agreements, which are over-
the-counter contracts in which one party agrees to make periodic payments based
on the change in market value of a specified equity index, in return for
periodic payment based on a fixed or variable interest rate. Swap agreements are
used to obtain exposure to an equity or market without owning or taking physical
custody of securities. The swap agreements are marked-to-market daily based upon
quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized
gain or loss. Payments received or made as a result of an agreement or
termination of the agreement are recognized as realized gains or losses. There
are several risks associated with the use of swap agreements that are different
from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions, due to
the fact they could be considered illiquid. Although the Trust will not enter
into any swap agreement unless the Advisor believes that the other party to the
transaction is creditworthy, the Funds bear the risk of loss of the amount
expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or
bankruptcy of the agreement counterparty.
F. COLLATERAL
In conjunction with the use of short sales, futures and swap agreements, the
Funds are required to maintain collateral in various forms. The Funds use, where
appropriate, depending on the financial instrument utilized and the broker
involved, margin deposits at the broker, cash and/or securities segregated at
the custodian bank, discount notes, or the repurchase agreements allocated to
each Fund.

G. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The Funds policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code
applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of the
taxable income and capital gains, if any to the shareholders within the
allowable time limits. Therefore, no provision for Federal income taxes is
required.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with Federal
income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to
differing treatments for in-kind redemptions, income reclassifications from real
estate investment trusts ("REITs") and losses deferred due to wash sales.
For the period ended April 30, 2008, the Funds realized no net capital gains
resulting from in-kind redemptions and other transactions. Because gains from
in-kind redemptions are not taxable to the Funds, and are not distributed to
existing Fund shareholders, the gains are reclassified from accumulated net
realized gains to paid-in-capital at the end of the Funds tax year. These
reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. Had
there been in-kind net capital gains for the period ended April 30, 2008 are
disclosed in the Fund's Statement of Operations.
At April 30, 2008, the Funds had no capital loss carryforwards which may be
utilized to offset any net realized capital gains as the Funds are in their
first year of operation.
H. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
The Funds declare and pay dividends from net investment income and distribute
from net realized capital gains at least annually.
I. RISK AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Trust invests in various investments which are exposed to risk, such as
market risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments it is
at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities
will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect
amounts reported in the financial statements.
The risks inherent in the use of futures contracts and swap agreements, include
i) adverse changes in the value of such instruments; ii) imperfect correlation
between the price of the instruments and movements in the price of the
underlying securities, indices, or futures contracts; III) the possible absence
of a liquid secondary market for any particular instrument at any time; and iv)
the potential of counterparty default. The Funds have established strict
counterparty credit guidelines and enter into transactions only with financial
institutions of investment grade or better.
J. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") released
FASB Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" ("FIN
48"). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be
recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN
48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the
course of preparing the Funds' tax returns to determine whether the tax
positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax
authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet a more-likely-than-not threshold
would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is
required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied
to all open tax years as of the effective date.
Management evaluated the implications of FIN 48 and determined that all tax
positions meet the "more-likely than not" threshold. As a result, the financial
statements have not been impacted by the adoption of FIN 48. However,
management's conclusions regarding FIN 48 are subject to review and adjustment
at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, further
implementation guidance expected from FASB, and on-going analysis of tax laws,
regulation, and interpretations thereof.
In September, 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair
Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"), was issued and is effective for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the
adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Funds' financial statements. Management
does not anticipate SFAS 157 will have a material impact on the Funds' financial
statements.
In March, 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161,
"Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 161")
was issued and is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after
November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about Funds'
derivative and hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the
impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS 161 will have on the Funds' financial
statement disclosures.
3. ADVISORY, ADMINISTRATION AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Advisor determines the composition of the portfolio of securities that must
be delivered in exchange for the issuance of Creation Units and periodically
adjusts the composition of the portfolio of the Funds to conform to changes in
the composition of the relevant
SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT 56
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
index. For these services, the Advisor receives an advisory fee at the annual
rate shown below of the average daily net assets of the Funds.
ADVISORY FEE
------------
Rydex 2x S&P 500 ETF................................................. 0.70%
Rydex Inverse 2x S&P 500 ETF......................................... 0.70%

|
The Advisor pays all expenses of the Funds, including the cost of transfer
agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except:
interest, taxes, distribution and trustee fees or expenses and extraordinary
expenses.
Under an Administration Agreement, State Street Bank and Trust Company (the
"Administrator") provides various administrative and accounting services for the
maintenance and operations of the Funds. Under a Custodian Agreement with the
Trust, the Administrator maintains cash, securities and other assets of the
Trust and the Funds in separate accounts for each fund, keeps all necessary
accounts and records, and provides other services. The Administrator is
required, upon the order of the Trust, to deliver securities held by the
Custodian and to make payments for securities purchased by the Trust for the
Funds. Pursuant to a Transfer Agency and Service Agreement with the Trust, the
Administrator acts as a transfer agent for the Trust's authorized and issued
shares of beneficial interest, and as dividend disbursing agent of the Trust.
The Advisor compensates the Administrator directly for the foregoing services.
The Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") that allows the Funds to
pay distribution fees to Rydex Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor") and other
firms that provide distribution services ("Service Providers"). If a Service
Provider provides distribution services, the Funds will pay distribution fees to
the Distributor at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of average daily net
assets, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The Distributor will, in turn,
pay the Service Provider out of its fees. No such fee is currently charged to
the Funds.
The Advisor made a voluntary capital contribution to the Fund during the period
ended April 30, 2008 of $148,040 to offset a loss on a portfolio investment.
4. CAPITAL
At April 30, 2008, there were an unlimited number of no par value shares of
beneficial interest authorized. There is a minimum transaction fee per
transaction to those persons purchasing or redeeming Creation Units. An
additional charge of up to three times the standard transaction fee may be
imposed for purchases and redemptions effected outside the National Securities
Clearing Corporation usual clearing process or for cash. Such transactions are
generally permitted on an in-kind basis, with a balancing cash component to
equate the transaction to the net asset value per unit of the Fund on the
transaction date. The minimum transaction fees are:

The Administrator has waived the in-kind creation and redemption fees for the
Funds for a period of six months from commencement. The Advisor will reimburse
the Administrator for 50% of the waived creation and redemption fees.
5. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
For the period ended April 30, 2008 the Funds had in-kind contributions and in-
kind redemptions as follows:

6. ACQUISITION OF RYDEX INVESTMENTS AND THE DISTRIBUTOR
At the close of business on January 17, 2008, Rydex NV, Inc., comprised of Rydex
Investments, together with several other Rydex entities, was acquired by
Security Benefit Corporation ("Security Benefit"), a financial services firm
that provides a broad variety of financial programs to investors in the advisor,
banking, education, government, institutional, and qualified plan markets (the
"Transaction"). As a result of the Transaction's completion, Rydex Investments
and the Distributor are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Security Benefit. While the
Transaction has no material impact on the Funds or their shareholders, it
resulted in a change of control of Rydex Investments, which in turn caused the
termination of the investment advisory agreement between Rydex Investments and
the Funds.
A new investment advisory agreement between Rydex Investments and the Funds was
approved under substantially the same terms as the previous investment advisory
agreement (the "New Agreement"). This New Agreement was approved by
shareholders, via proxy, and took effect upon the closing of the Transaction.
The Transaction had no impact on the day-to-day operations of Rydex Investments,
the fees payable to Rydex Investments under the New Agreement, or the persons
responsible for the management of the Funds.

(a) Based on their evaluation on July 2, 2008, the President (principal
executive officer) and the Treasurer (principal financial officer) of the Rydex
ETF Trust (the "Trust") believe that there were no significant deficiencies in
the design or operation of the internal controls of the Trust or Rydex Global
Advisors ("RGA"), the investment advisor and manager of the Trust, and State
Street Bank and Trust Company (the "Administrator"), the administrator of the
Trust, or Rydex Distributors, Inc. ("RD"), which acts as distributor for the
Trust, including disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 30a-3(c)
under the Investment Company Act of 1940) which would have adversely affected
the ability of the Trust, the Administrator or RGA on behalf of the Trust, to
record, process, summarize, and report the subject matter contained in this
Report, and the President and Treasurer of the Trust have identified no material
weaknesses in such internal controls on behalf of the Trust.
There was no fraud, whether or not material, involving officers or employees of
RGA, the Administrator, RD or the Trust who have a significant role in the
Trust's internal controls, including disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940) that has come
to the attention of the advisor or the officers of the Trust, including its
President and Treasurer.
(b) There were no significant changes in the Trust's and RGA's internal controls
over financial reporting, including disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the Investment Company Act of 1940) that occurred
during the second fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 12. EXHIBITS.
(a)(2) Separate certifications by the President (principal executive officer)
and Treasurer (principal financial officer) of the registrant as required by
Rule 30a-2(a) under the Act (17 CFR 270.30a-2(a)) are attached.
