PILL Profile
The Direxion Daily Pharmaceutical & Medical Bull 3X Shares ETF is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) that seeks to provide investors with triple (3x) leveraged daily exposure to the performance of pharmaceutical and medical stocks. To achieve this objective, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in a variety of financial instruments, including swap agreements, securities that are components of its underlying index, and other ETFs that track the same index. This leveraged strategy aims to amplify the daily returns of the underlying index by a factor of three, before fees and expenses.
The underlying index is a modified equal-weighted index specifically designed to track the performance of pharmaceutical and medical stocks within the broader S&P Total Market Index. It focuses on companies classified in the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) pharmaceuticals sub-industry. This index provides a comprehensive measure of the performance of key players in the pharmaceutical and medical sectors, reflecting their market movements and industry trends.
The fund’s strategy involves using a combination of leverage and derivatives to amplify daily returns, making it suitable for investors seeking short-term, high-risk exposure to the pharmaceutical and medical sectors. By investing in financial instruments that provide leveraged exposure, such as swap agreements and ETFs, the fund aims to magnify the performance of the underlying index. It is important to note that the fund’s use of leverage can lead to significant volatility and potential losses, particularly over longer investment horizons.
As a non-diversified fund, the Direxion Daily Pharmaceutical & Medical Bull 3X Shares ETF may concentrate its investments in a specific sector, in this case, pharmaceuticals and medical stocks. This concentration can result in higher risk relative to more broadly diversified funds. The fund's design targets investors who are looking to capitalize on short-term movements in the pharmaceutical and medical sectors, leveraging market opportunities while managing the inherent risks of leveraged investing.
