Direxion Unveils XXCH: A Bold Move for Traders Seeking 200% Exposure to Emerging Markets, Excluding China
XXCH Provides 200% Daily Exposure to 23 of the 24 Emerging Markets Countries
NEW YORK — February 7, 2024 — Direxion, a leading provider of tradeable and thematic ETFs, today announced the launch of the Direxion Daily MSCI Emerging Markets ex China Bull 2X Shares (Ticker: XXCH). XXCH seeks to achieve 200% of the daily performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI Emerging Markets ex China Index.
The MSCI Emerging Markets ex China Index is designed to capture the large- and mid-capitalization securities across 23 of the 24 emerging markets, apart from China. The Index is market cap weighted and covers approximately 85% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization in each of the selected countries.
“In 2023, China's equity markets experienced losses, which stood in contrast to the gains in India, South Korea, Taiwan, and other emerging markets," said Direxion Managing Director and Head of Sales and Alternatives, Edward Egilinsky. “Amidst the geopolitical swirl surrounding China, some traders are looking to separate the country’s stocks, while maintaining broader exposure to the emerging market countries. XXCH allows precise short-term exposure, providing a tactical opportunity for traders to independently manage their exposure to China's unique risks.”
The global markets landscape is rapidly evolving, presenting new challenges and opportunities. As the emerging markets ex China space continues to show promising growth, Direxion is committed to providing traders with timely vehicles to align with the shifting dynamics of the financial markets.

They seek daily goals and should not be expected to track the underlying index over periods longer than one day. They are not suitable for all investors and should be utilized only by sophisticated investors who understand leverage risk and who actively manage their investments.
