Benefits & Strategy
Index Construction
- Compared to market cap weighting, equal weighting may allow for greater performance contribution from companies with smaller market-capitalization1.
- Broader diversification across market segments may help reduce concentration risk and result in more balanced exposure across constituents and sectors.
- Quarterly rebalancing maintains consistency of equal weightings after regular market fluctuations.
1Market Capitalization is the total dollar market value of all of a company’s outstanding shares, and is calculated by multiplying a company’s shares outstanding by the current market price of one share.

An investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Returns for performance under one year are cumulative, not annualized. For the most recent month-end performance please visit the funds website at direxion.com.
Short-term performance, in particular, is not a good indication of the fund’s future performance, and an investment should not be made based solely on returns. Because of ongoing market volatility, fund performance may be subject to substantial short-term changes. For additional information, see the fund’s prospectus.
