Description: GUG Guggenheim Active October 24, 2025

The Guggenheim Active Allocation Fund (NYSE:GUG) is a U.S.-based common stock that operates within the Asset Management & Custody Banks sub-industry of the GICS classification.

Key metrics to watch include its total assets under management (≈ $5.3 billion as of Q2 2025), a low expense ratio of 0.45 %, and an average portfolio turnover of roughly 30 % annually-figures that suggest a moderately active style. Recent performance has been driven by macro-economic factors such as the Federal Reserve’s policy stance on interest rates, which influences fee-sensitive asset-management revenues, and by ongoing fee-compression pressure across the industry.
