The key benefits of investing in an IPO strategy include:

• Access to a market that has typically been reserved for institutional clients

• The ability to diversify outside of the traditional style box

• Participation in markets usually not adequately represented in U.S. and Global equity indexes

• Ability to participate in positive market performance while maintaining downside protection through the fund’s hedging component

Disclosures:

The total annual fund operating expense ratio of the Direxion Long/Short Global IPO Fund, gross of any fee waivers or expense reimbursements, as stated in the fee table of the funds prospectus is for the investor class is 1.40%, and for the C-Shares is 2.15%. 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 for one year and under are cumulative, not annualized. 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.

Accessing the Global IPO Market

IPOs have substantial economic significance, and are the lifeblood of global equity capital markets. On average, over $400 billion of market capitalization has been added through IPO and spin-off activity every year since 1995. The pipeline for the number of global IPOs is substantial – continually offering new opportunities.

For many investors and investment professionals, IPOs are coveted investments since they generally enter the marketplace at a discounted price to attract new investors.
