Fund Description: Direxion Daily S&P Biotech Bull 3X Shares is an exchange-traded index fund or Index ETF which is a separate investment portfolio of the Direxion Shares ETF Trust, an open-end investment management company. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: The Direxion Daily S&P Biotech Bull 3X Shares seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 300% of the performance of the S&P Biotechnology Select Industry Index. The Fund is different from most exchange-traded funds in that it seeks leveraged returns relative to the Index and only on a daily basis. The Fund also is riskier than similarly benchmarked exchange-traded funds that do not use leverage. Accordingly, the Fund may not be suitable for all investors and should be used only by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking daily leveraged investment results. Shareholders should actively manage and monitor their investments, as frequently as daily. INDEX DESCRIPTION: The S&P Biotechnology Select Industry Index is provided by Standard & Poor’s (the Index Provider) and includes domestic companies from the biotechnology industry. The Index is designed to measure the performance of a sub-industry or group of sub-industries determined based on the Global Industry Classification Standards (GICS). Companies in the Index are classified using the GICS classifications which are determined primarily based on a company’s revenues, however, earnings and market perception are also considered by GICS. The Index consists of constituents of the S&P Total Market Index that belong to the GICS biotechnology sub-industry that satisfy the criteria. The S&P TMI tracks all U.S. common stocks listed on the U.S. major stock exchanges. The market capitalization threshold may be relaxed to ensure that there are at least 22 stocks in the Index as of the rebalancing effective date. Rebalancing is done quarterly. FUND STRATEGY: The Fund, under normal circumstances, creates long positions by investing at least 80% of its assets in the securities that comprise the Index and/or financial instruments that provide leveraged and unleveraged exposure to the Index. These financial instruments include: swap agreements; options on securities and indices; forward contracts; reverse repurchase agreements; exchange-traded funds (ETFs); and other financial instruments. On a day-to-day basis, the Fund invests the remainder of its assets in money market funds, depository accounts with institutions with high quality credit ratings or short-term debt instruments that have terms-to-maturity of less than 397 days and exhibit high quality credit profiles, including U.S. government securities and repurchase agreements. The Fund may gain leveraged exposure to the Index by utilizing other ETFs or swaps on ETFs that track the same Index or a substantially similar index as the Fund. At times, however, the Fund will utilize other derivatives and investment strategies which may include gaining leveraged exposure to only a representative sample of the securities in the Index that have aggregate characteristics similar to those of the Index. The Fund gains this exposure either by directly investing in the securities of the Index or by investing in derivatives that provide leveraged exposure to those securities. The adviser positions the Fund’s portfolio so that its exposure to the Index is consistent with the Fund’s investment objective. The impact of the Index’s movements during the day will affect whether the Fund’s portfolio needs to be re-positioned. FUND MANAGEMENT: Rafferty Asset Management, LLC serves as the Fund’s investment adviser.
