The Direxion ETF investment company is one of the pioneers in this form of security. They have specialized in the leveraged ETF’s and introduced the first 300 leveraged ETF. This includes both the bull and the bear ETF’s. Investments in these types of investments allow investors to properly manage their portfolios risk no matter what the market conditions exist.
As one of the innovators in this new type of investment they were first in many different areas of investment. In 1999 they introduced the first Short Small Cap Fund in December of 1999. In January of 2005 they introduced the first Leveraged Long 10 year Bond fund.
In May of 2006 the first 250% Leveraged Index (LI) funds were introduced to the market place. January 2008 saw the first Non-Proprietary Dynamic Asset Allocation Models that incorporate LI funds. February of 2008 saw the introduction of the first Exposure Targeting Application for LI funds. In June of 2008 the first Long/Short Pure Commodity Mutual fund hit the market.
The latest of first from this pioneering investment company is the 300% Leveraged ETFs. Today Direxion has 34 leveraged ETF’s. Of those 34, 30 of them are at 300% and 4 are at 200%.
Each specific fund type has both a bull funds that is leveraged against a positive move of the market and a bear funds that is the inverse ready for a collapse or decline in that specific fund.
The main function of these investments is to track the daily performance of these indexes with either a 300% or 200 leverage against them. As of this year 2010 the expense ratio of each of these funds is between 0.94% and 0.95%.
The Direxion ETF investing is risky, but if played right a profit can be found.
