Direxion Daily Gold Miners Index Bull 2X Shares ETF

Profile

Direxion Daily Gold Miners Index Bull 2X Shares ETF is a leveraged exchange-traded fund designed to deliver 200% of the daily performance of the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index, before fees and expenses. Launched by Direxion Investments and managed by Rafferty Asset Management, LLC, it provides amplified exposure to a modified market capitalization-weighted index of publicly traded companies involved primarily in gold mining, with lesser emphasis on silver mining, operating globally across developed and emerging markets. The fund achieves its leverage through derivatives such as futures and swaps, investing in growth and value stocks of gold mining companies of various market capitalizations, including small- and mid-cap firms and foreign issuers. It limits silver-exposed companies to under 20% of the index at rebalances. Primarily intended for sophisticated investors seeking short-term trading opportunities in the volatile gold miners sector, this ETF magnifies daily movements in gold mining equities but does not hold physical gold or commodities. Formed in 2010 and domiciled in the United States, it serves as a tactical tool for those monitoring leveraged risks and market trends in the materials sector.
