Direxion Launches Two ETFs to Expand Leveraged and Inverse Lineup

NEW YORK, July 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Direxion announced today it has added two new ETFs to its existing lineup of leveraged and inverse ETFs. The Direxion Daily European Financials Bull 2X Shares (Ticker: EUFL) seeks to achieve 200% of the daily performance of the MSCI Europe Financials Index. The Direxion Daily Gold Miners Index Bear 1X Shares (Ticker: MELT) seeks to achieve 100% of the inverse of the daily performance of the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index.

"We've seen recent instability in European markets, with the post-Brexit effect yet to subside as political and economic uncertainties remain," said Sylvia Jablonski, Managing Director at Direxion. "The launch of the European Financials leveraged ETF is timely, as market reaction to the EU situation presents the chance for bullish traders to magnify their short-term perspective. Our new Gold Miners bear ETF will complement the existing suite of ETFs tracking that space, to give traders another option for taking advantage of short-term opportunities."  

Like all leveraged ETFs, these Direxion products are intended only for investors with an in-depth understanding of the risks associated with seeking leveraged investment results, and who plan to actively monitor and manage their positions. There is no guarantee that the Funds will meet their objectives.
