Fund Objective
The Direxion Currency Trends Strategy Plus Fund seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, of 150% of the calendar month performance of the Alpha Financial FX Trends Index ("FXTI"), while implementing a strategic overlay to maintain the Fund's exposure to the FXTI between 145% and 155%. The Fund is different and riskier than most mutual funds.
 
 
Target Index
The FX Trends Index™ (FXTI) is a quantitative, rules-based methodology designed to reflect price movements across a basket of 11 foreign exchange futures contracts. The contracts are represented on either a "long" or "short" basis depending on recent price trends. With the ability to take long or short positions, the FXTI is designed to capture the economic benefit over long time periods derived from both rising and declining price trends within a basket of global currencies.

An investor should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the Direxion Funds carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other information about Direxion Funds. To obtain a prospectus, please contact the Direxion Funds at 800.851.0511. The prospectus should be read carefully before investing.

Investing in index funds may be more volatile than investing in broadly diversified funds. The use of leverage by a mutual fund increases the risk to the fund. The more a fund invests in leveraged instruments the more the leverage will magnify gains or losses on those investments.

The risks associated with the Direxion Currency Trends Strategy Plus Fund are detailed in the prospectus and Statement of Additional Information (available upon request, free of charge). These include, but are not limited to, risks of high portfolio turnover; risk of tracking error; leverage, derivatives and counterparty risks; risk of non-diversification; risk of interest rate changes; risks of investing in other investment companies and Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs); risks of adverse market conditions; risks of investing in equity securities and foreign instruments; risks of currency exchange rates; risks of shorting instruments; risks of the adviser's investment strategy; credit risk; and valuation time risk.

Direxion imposes a 1.00% redemption fee on the Currency Trends Strategy Fund for shares redeemed within ninety days of the date of purchase.
