Strategy & Benefits

Strategy Description

  • A 40 Act, non K-1 generating approach to commodity investing
  • Exposure to 12 commodities that can individually be long or flat (if a short signal is triggered the position is moved to cash)
  • The ability to make position changes intra-month based on trends
  • Month-end review where the position size of each component is modified if volatility exceeds certain predetermined risk levels
  • A “smart” contract roll approach designed to select cost effective futures contracts to roll into upon expiration of current contract.

Why Consider Long/Flat Commodities?

Most traditional commodity funds can only benefit if commodity prices rise. However, these long-only commodity strategies have shown to be inconsistent over time because:

  • Commodity returns are typically cyclical and sporadic
  • Individual commodity sub-sectors tend to perform dissimilarly in different market environments
  • Significant draw-downs can be damaging to the long-term performance of a portfolio

Within the inherently volatile commodity markets, a long/flat approach is potentially more adaptive to whip-sawing market conditions.

The Primary Listing Exchange is the NYSE Arca, Inc.

*The Fund’s adviser, Rafferty Asset Management, LLC (“Rafferty”) has entered into an Operating Services Agreement with the Fund. Under this Operating Services Agreement, Rafferty has contractually agreed to pay all expenses of the Fund as long as it is the advisor of the Fund other than the following: management fees, Rule 12b-1 distribution and/or service fees, taxes, swap financing and related costs, dividends or interest on short positions, other interest expenses, brokerage commissions, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses. If these expenses were included, the expense ratio would be higher.

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate. 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 www.direxioninvestments.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.

Index Information
