Direxion Adds Materials, Health, and Total Market ETFs

Direxion announced (pdf) the addition of five new ETFs to its lineup last week (6/15/11). Four of the new funds are 3x leveraged bullish and bearish plays on the materials and health sectors. The fifth is a non-leveraged total U.S. stock market bear fund.

Direxion Daily Basic Materials Bull 3x Shares (MATL) seeks daily investment results of 300% of the price performance of the S&P Materials Select Sector Index with a 0.95% expense ratio. Overview and fact sheet (pdf).

Direxion Daily Basic Materials Bear 3x Shares (MATS) seeks daily investment results of 300% of the inverse (opposite) of the price performance of the S&P Materials Select Sector Index with a 0.95% expense ratio. Overview and fact sheet (pdf).

Direxion Daily Healthcare Bull 3x Shares (CURE) seeks daily investment results of 300% of the price performance of the S&P Health Care Select Sector Index with a 0.95% expense ratio. Overview and fact sheet (pdf).

Direxion Daily Healthcare Bear 3x Shares (SICK) seeks daily investment results of 300% of the inverse (opposite) of the price performance of the S&P Health Care Select Sector Index with a 0.95% expense ratio. Overview and fact sheet (pdf).

As with other Direxion ETFs, these new products will likely do a good job of meeting their objectives on a daily basis. Before holding them for longer periods, investors need to understand the 3x leverage impact. Direxion provides good background information in its Leveraged ETF Educational Literature.
