Direxion Volatility Tool
Understanding the volatility of your investments and how volatility changes over time is an important aspect of portfolio management. Leveraged index funds, whether Bull or Bear, have by definition, greater volatility than their target benchmarks. Obviously, the benchmarks exhibit different levels of volatility.
The volatility tool below is designed to help you better understand the nature of our funds and the volatility measure for each over a desired period. You may view any combination of funds and indices (up to a total of 25) at one time.
In the pop up box, simply select the "Sample frequency", which dictates whether volatility data will be calculated using daily or monthly data points. After selecting the Sample Frequency, choose a period. Next, select the funds which you would like to query then submit by clicking on "Apply Selection".
The bars in the graph represent the level of volatility for each fund, for the selected time period. Your results can be manipulated by selecting various frequencies and periods, located to the right of the graph.
As of 9/30/2009, the Bull Fund's investment objective has changed from seeking daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 250% of the price performance of its benchmark to seeking monthly investment results, before fees and expenses, of 200% of the price performance of its benchmark. The Bear Fund's investment objective has changed from seeking daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of -250% of the price performance of its benchmark to seeking monthly investment results, before fees and expenses, of -200% of the price performance of its benchmark.
