JNUG Profile
The Direxion Daily Junior Gold Miners Index Bull 2X Shares is designed to deliver twice the daily performance of the junior gold miners index. The fund typically allocates at least 80% of its net assets, including any borrowing for investment purposes, to financial instruments that offer leveraged exposure to the index. This includes swap agreements, ETFs tracking the index, and securities that are part of the index, as well as other financial instruments providing similar leveraged exposure.
The underlying index focuses on small-cap and mid-cap companies within the gold mining sector that are accessible to international investors. These companies are involved in the exploration, extraction, and production of gold and related activities. The index aims to capture the performance of junior gold miners, which are typically characterized by higher growth potential and greater volatility compared to larger, more established gold mining firms.
The fund's strategy involves using financial derivatives and other leveraged instruments to achieve a daily return that is twice the daily return of the index. This leveraged exposure amplifies both gains and losses, making the fund suitable for short-term trading and tactical positioning rather than long-term investment. The use of leverage is intended to magnify the impact of movements in the underlying index, providing investors with the opportunity to benefit from significant price fluctuations in the junior gold mining sector.
Managed by Direxion, a firm known for its expertise in leveraged and inverse ETFs, the fund leverages sophisticated investment strategies and risk management techniques. Direxion’s investment professionals actively monitor and adjust the fund’s exposure to ensure it aligns with the daily performance objectives. This approach allows the fund to offer investors a high-risk, high-reward opportunity in the junior gold mining sector, catering to those seeking to capitalize on short-term market movements.
