Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholders,

This Annual Report for the Direxion Shares exchange traded funds (the "ETFs") covers the period from November 1, 2020 to October 31, 2021 (the "Annual Period").

Market Review:

Worsening COVID-19 case counts in the US, on the heels of a resurgence of the virus in Europe, bore fears of a second wave, all while hopes of a vaccine began to materialize to start the Annual Period. As a result, equity markets ended down for October. The election of Joseph Biden, as President of the United States, generated sharp returns for domestic equity markets in November, which was in stark contrast to what was widely expected if a Democrat were to win the race. A pledge of essentially unlimited monetary support from the Federal Reserve, coupled with stimulus for families and small businesses, served as necessary bolster to an economy reeling from the pandemic. Hopes of an effective vaccine began to emerge in November as well. Emerging markets performed well during the fourth quarter of 2020, largely on the back of U.S. dollar weakness. Equities were mixed amid higher volatility in January, on slower than expected vaccine rollout, frenzied retail trading and further stimulus expectations. Rising bond yields in February became a signal the economy was on the mend. On balance with dovish statements from the Federal Reserve, yields abated somewhat into the end of February as the global economy attempted to navigate the road to a post-COVID economy. Optimism took hold in March of 2021 as promises of a $1.9 trillion fiscal stimulus package, along with a $2 trillion infrastructure package, bolstered hopes for an economic recovery. Spring saw the re-opening trade, as COVID-19 vaccine rollout began to see broad traction, allowing an uptick in economic activity while also bringing inflation data into the broader discussion as the consumer price index rose from 3% to 3.8%. July saw added volatility in equity markets relating to the Delta variant of COVID-19, a more transmissible variant, along with concerns of a moderating economic recovery and tightening regulatory scrutiny in China on its tech sector, which hit emerging markets particularly hard. Despite the headwinds, the S&P 500 continued to post gains through summer on a strong second quarter 2021 earnings season. In August, dovish tones from Federal Reserve Chairman, Jerome Powell, regarding the pace and timing of tapering were enough to offset concerns of inflation running too hot in the near term, and that the COVID-19 Delta variant could potentially derail the ongoing economic recovery. Equities pulled back in September amid concerns that rising inflation would eat into growth, along with a statement from the Federal Reserve that it would announce a plan for tapering its asset purchases at its November meeting. Profit margins and the supply chain were the themes for Q3 earnings. The consumer discretionary sector was the big winner for October, as a broad swathe of companies were able to navigate supply-chain issues while, also maintaining margins that were under threat of being eaten away by rising inflation.

The Federal Reserve continued to keep the federal funds rate at the low range of .00 – .25bps, and pledged to continue through 2023, in hopes fiscal stimulus plans and the development and deployment of vaccines will encourage economic growth. At the end of the Annual Period, 67% of the US population has received at least one dose of a vaccine. The continued low benchmark set by the Federal Reserve, put in place in March of 2019, has increased expectations of inflation. This caused CPI to increase 6.2% through the end of the Annual Period, to a CPI of 276.724, marking the highest rate of inflation in years. This, in turn, drove bond prices lower, and yields even higher. The 2 to 10 year yield curve, which is an indication that short term yields have dropped more than long term yields, increased from .71% to 1.07%. For the Annual Period, the 10 year treasury yield finished at 1.55%, as the market rallied back from pandemic lows.

Direxion Shares Operational Review:

The discussion below relates to the performance of the ETFs for the Annual Period. The ETFs are leveraged and seek daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of -100% or 200% of the performance of a particular benchmark. All ETF returns are NAV (net asset value) returns.

The ETFs, as stated above, seek daily investment results. They do not seek to track a multiple of their respective benchmarks for periods of longer than one day and the performance of the ETFs over longer periods may not correlate to the benchmarks performance. The ETFs should not be held by investors for long periods and should be used as short-term trading vehicles.

DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT

These products are not suitable for all investors and should be utilized only by sophisticated investors who understand the risks associated with the use of leverage, the consequences of seeking daily leveraged investment results and intend to actively monitor and manage their investments.

The ETFs with the word "Bear" in their name (the "Bear ETFs") attempt to provide investment results that correlate to -100% of the return of a benchmark, meaning that the Bear Funds attempt to move in the opposite, or inverse, direction of the target benchmark index.

The ETFs with the word "Bull" in their name (the "Bull ETFs") attempt to provide investment results that correlate to 200% of the return of a benchmark, meaning the Bull Funds attempt to move in the same direction as the target benchmark index.

In seeking to achieve each ETF's daily investment results, Rafferty Asset Management, LLC ("Rafferty" or the "Adviser") relies upon a pre-determined investment model to generate orders resulting in repositioning each ETF's investments in accordance with its daily investment objective. Using this approach, Rafferty determines the type, quantity and mix of investment positions that it believes in combination should produce daily returns consistent with an ETF's objective. As a consequence, if an ETF is performing as designed, the return of the benchmark index will dictate the return for that ETF. Each ETF pursues its investment objective regardless of market conditions and does not take defensive positions.

Each ETF has a clearly articulated goal which requires the ETF to seek economic exposure significantly in excess of its net assets. To meet its objectives, each ETF invests in some combination of financial instruments, including derivatives. Each ETF invests significantly in derivatives, including swap agreements. Rafferty uses these types of investments to produce economically "leveraged" investment results. Leveraging allows Rafferty to generate a greater positive or negative return than what would be generated on the invested capital without leverage, thus changing small market movements into larger changes in the value of the investments of an ETF.

The ETFs may use certain investment techniques, including investments in derivatives, which may be considered aggressive. Investments in derivatives in general are subject to market risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate dramatically over time. Additionally, use of such instruments may increase the volatility of the ETFs. The use of derivatives may expose the ETFs to additional risks that they would not be subject to if they invested directly in the securities underlying those derivatives, such as counterparty risk. The use of derivatives may result in larger losses or smaller gains than otherwise would be the case.

Because each ETF seeks daily investment results of its relevant benchmark, a comparison of the return of the ETF to the relevant benchmark tells you little about whether an ETF has met its investment objective. To determine if an ETF has met its daily investment goals, Rafferty maintains models which indicate the expected performance of each ETF as compared to the underlying relevant index. The models do not take into account the ETF's expense ratio or any transaction or trading fees associated with creating or maintaining an ETF's portfolio.

Factors Affecting Performance of Bear ETFs:

Benchmark Performance – The daily performance of each ETF's benchmark index, and the factors and market conditions implicitly affecting that index, are the primary factors driving ETF performance. Given the daily goals, the series of daily index returns are most important. The market conditions that affected the benchmark indexes during the past year are described in the Market Review section.

Volatility and Compounding – The goal of the Bear ETFs is to provide the inverse of the daily return of an underlying index. Over periods longer than a single day, an ETF should not be expected to provide the inverse of the return of the underlying index. Due to the effects of compounding, a universal mathematical concept that applies to all investments, returns of the ETFs over longer periods are greater or less than the ETF's daily stated goal. Periods of high volatility that lack a clear trend hurt an ETF's performance while trending, low volatility markets enhance an ETF's performance.

DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT

Cost of Financing – In order to attain inverse exposure, a Bear ETF receives LIBOR plus or minus a spread as applied to the borrowed portion of the ETF's exposure. The spread varies by both Fund and counterparty and is a function of market demand, hedging costs, access to balance sheet, borrow volatility, current counterparty exposure and administrative costs associated with the swap counterparty. Generally for most of the Bear ETFs, the financing costs will have a positive effect on tracking. An increase in interest rates which effects the cost of financing will further impact an ETF's performance and ability to track its index.

Equity Dividends and Bond Interest – The Bear ETFs are negatively impacted by bond interest as they are obligated to pay interest, accrued on a daily basis. The Bear ETFs are also negatively impacted by index dividends as they are obligated to pay the dividends.

Fees, Expenses, and Transaction Costs – Fees and expenses are listed in each ETF's prospectus and may be higher than many traditional index funds' fees, which cause a greater negative impact on ETF performance. Transactions costs are not included in the expense ratio of the ETFs. Transaction costs can be higher due to the ETF's use of derivatives, shorting securities, frequent creation and redemption activity, or trading securities that are comparatively less liquid.

Bear ETFs Performance Review:

The next discussion relates to the performance of the Bear ETFs for the Annual Period. The Bear ETFs seek daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of -100% of the performance of an underlying benchmark index, meaning that the Bear ETFs attempt to move in the opposite direction, or inverse, of their respective underlying benchmark index.

The Direxion Daily CSI 300 China A Share Bear 1X Shares seeks to provide -100% of the daily return of the CSI 300 Index. The CSI 300 Index is a modified free-float market capitalization weighted index comprised of the largest and most liquid stocks in the Chinese A-share market. Index constituent stocks must have been listed for more than three months (unless the stock's average daily A-share market capitalization since its initial listing ranks among the top 30 of all A-shares) and must not be experiencing obvious abnormal fluctuations or market manipulations. For the Annual Period, the CSI 300 Index returned 11.31%. The Direxion Daily CSI 300 China A Share Bear 1X Shares returned -17.37%, while the model indicated an expected return of -12.84%.

The Direxion Daily S&P 500® Bear 1X Shares seeks to provide -100% of the daily return of the S&P 500® Index. The S&P 500® Index is a capitalization-weighted index composed of 500 domestic common stocks. The S&P 500® Index is a capitalization-weighted index composed of 500 domestic common stocks. Standard & Poor's® selects the stocks comprising the S&P 500® Index on the basis of market capitalization, financial viability of the company and the public float, liquidity and price of a company's shares outstanding. The index is a float-adjusted, market capitalization-weighted index. For the Annual Period, the S&P 500® Index returned 42.91%. The Direxion Daily S&P 500® Bear 1X Shares -31.20%, while the model indicated an expected return of -31.17%.

Factors Affecting Performance of Bull ETFs:

Benchmark Performance – The daily performance of each ETF's benchmark index, and the factors and market conditions implicitly affecting that index, are the primary factors driving ETF performance. Given the daily goals, the series of daily index returns are most important. The market conditions that affected the benchmark indexes during the past year are described in the Market Review section.

Leverage – Each Bull ETF seeks daily investment results (before fees and expenses) of 200% of the performance of its respective underlying index. The use of leverage magnifies an ETF's gains or losses and increases the investment's risk and volatility.

Volatility and Compounding – The goal of the Bull ETFs is to provide two times the daily return of an underlying index. Over periods longer than a single day, an ETF should not be expected to provide two times the return of the underlying index. Due to the effects of compounding, a universal mathematical concept that applies to all investments, returns of the

ETFs over longer periods are greater or less than the ETF's daily stated goal. Periods of high volatility that lack a clear trend hurt an ETF's performance while trending, low volatility markets enhance an ETF's performance.

Cost of Financing – In order to attain leveraged exposure, a Bull ETF incurs a cost of LIBOR plus or minus a spread as applied to the borrowed portion of the ETF's exposure. The spread varies by both Fund and counterparty and is a function of market demand, hedging costs, access to balance sheet, borrow volatility, current counterparty exposure and administrative costs associated with the swap counterparty. An increase in interest rates which effects the cost of financing will further impact an ETF's performance and ability to track its index.

Optimized Baskets – Each Bull ETF holds a basket of equities designed to provide returns that track its underlying index. In order to decrease transaction costs, certain Bull ETFs hold only a representative sample, or optimized basket, that tracks closely over time, but deviates from its underlying index in the short-term.

Equity Dividends – Equity Bull ETFs are positively impacted by equity and index dividends as the ETFs receive those payments.

Fees, Expenses, and Transaction Costs – Fees and expenses are listed in each ETF's prospectus and may be higher than many traditional index ETFs' fees, which cause a greater negative impact on ETF performance. Transactions costs are not included in the expense ratio of the ETFs. Transaction costs can be higher due to the ETF's use of leverage, frequent creation and redemption activity, or trading securities that are comparatively less liquid.

Bull ETFs Performance Review:

The Direxion Daily CSI 300 China A Share Bull 2X Shares seeks to provide 200% of the daily return of the CSI 300 Index. The CSI 300 Index is a modified free-float market capitalization weighted index comprised of the largest and most liquid stocks in the Chinese A-share market.

For the Annual Period, the CSI 300 Index returned 11.31%. Given the daily investment objectives of the ETFs and the path dependency of returns for longer periods, the annual return of the index alone should not generate expectations of annual performance of the Fund. The Direxion Daily CSI 300 China A Share Bull 2X Shares returned 20.32%, while the model indicated an expected return 13.37%. Deviation from the model may be due to a combination of asset fluctuation, expenses, transaction costs, including swap contract related costs and underlying index volatility.

For the Annual Period, the CSI Overseas China Internet Index returned -31.98%. Given the daily investment objectives of the ETFs and the path dependency of returns for longer periods, the annual return of the index alone should not generate expectations of annual performance of the Fund. The Direxion Daily CSI China Internet Index Bull 2X Shares returned -64.00%, while the model indicated an expected return of -63.58%.

The Direxion Daily S&P 500® Bull 2X Shares seek to provide 200% of the daily return of the S&P 500® Index.

For the Annual Period, the MVIS Russia Index returned 69.40%. Given the daily investment objectives of the ETFs and the path dependency of returns for longer periods, the annual return of the index alone should not generate expectations of annual performance of the ETFs. The Direxion Daily Russia Bull 2X Shares returned 172.12%, while the model indicated an expected return of 177.27%. Deviation from the model may be due to a combination of asset fluctuation, expenses, transaction costs, including swap contract related costs and underlying index volatility.

The Direxion Daily Junior Gold Miners Index Bear 2X Shares returned -6.14%, while the model indicated an expected return of -5.73%.

Companies must have a minimum market capitalization of $100 million and a minimum average daily turnover for the last 6 months greater than, or equal to, $2 million in order to be eligible for inclusion in the Index. For the Annual Period, the Indxx Global Robotics & Artificial Intelligence Thematic Index returned 37.33%. Given the daily investment objectives of the ETFs and the path dependency of returns for longer periods, the annual return of the index alone should not generate expectations of annual performance of the ETFs. The Direxion Daily Robotics, Artificial Intelligence & Automation Index Bull 2X Shares returned 73.55%, while the model indicated an expected return of 77.31%.

The Direxion Daily S&P Oil & Gas Exp. & Prod. Bull 2X Shares and the Direxion Daily S&P Oil & Gas Exp. & Prod. Bear 2X Shares seek to provide 200% and -200%, respectively, of the daily return of the S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production Select Industry Index. The S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production Select Industry Index is provided by Standard & Poor's and includes domestic companies from the oil and gas exploration and production sub-industry. The index is designed to measure the performance of a sub-industry or group of sub-industries determined based on the Global Industry Classification Standards. For the stated period, the S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production Select Industry Index returned 167.64%. Given the daily investment objectives of the ETFs and the path dependency of returns for longer periods, the annual return of the index alone should not generate expectations of annual performance of the ETFs. The Direxion Daily S&P Oil & Gas Exp. & Prod. Bull 2X Shares returned 465.94%, while the model indicated an expected return of 477.44%. Deviation from the model may be due to a combination of asset fluctuation, expenses, transaction costs, including swap contract related costs and underlying index volatility. The Direxion Daily S&P Oil & Gas Exp. & Prod. Bear 2X Shares returned -93.20%, while the model indicated an expected return of -93.12%.

The Direxion Daily Select Large Caps & FANGs Bull 2X Shares seeks to provide 200% of the daily return of the ICE FANG 20 Index. The ICE FANG 20 Index is an equal weighted index designed to include Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and (Alphabet's) Google (i.e., the FANGs) and similar highly-traded growth stocks of technology and tech-enabled companies, such as Microsoft, from the information technology, communication services and consumer discretionary sectors. The Index consists of 20 stocks or depository receipts that are listed on a U.S. Exchange that have a minimum of a $5 billion market capitalization and a 6-month average daily trading value of at least $50 million. The Index selects companies whose economic fortunes are tied to technologies such as social networking, autonomous driving, electric vehicles, smartphones, mobile payments, e-commerce, online games, streaming media, online entertainment, cryptocurrencies, blockchain, big data, artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital advertising, cloud services and other innovative technologies. The Index is reconstituted and rebalanced quarterly. Since the Fund's inception on September 30, 2021, the ICE FANG 20 Index returned 9.23%. Given the daily investment objectives of the ETFs and the path dependency of returns for longer periods, the annual return of the index alone should not generate expectations of annual performance of the ETFs. The Direxion Daily Select Large Caps & FANGs Bull 2X Shares returned 18.60%, while the model indicated an expected return of 18.83%.

The Direxion Daily Travel & Vacation Bull 2X Shares seeks to provide 200% of the daily return of the BlueStar® Travel and Vacation Index.

Since the Fund's inception on June 10, 2021, the BlueStar® Travel and Vacation Index returned -7.54%. Given the daily investment objectives of the ETFs and the path dependency of returns for longer periods, the annual return of the index alone should not generate expectations of annual performance of the ETFs. The Direxion Daily Travel & Vacation Bull 2X Shares returned -17.04%, while the model indicated an expected return of -16.39%.

The Direxion Daily US Infrastructure Bull 2X Shares seeks to provide 200% of the daily return of the Indxx US Infrastructure Index.

The Index Provider defines infrastructure as being comprised of Construction & Engineering Services and Industrial Transportation companies. Companies that derive a minimum of 50% of their total revenue from Construction & Engineering Services or Industrial Transportation are eligible for inclusion. The Index Provider screens companies based on various market capitalization and liquidity metrics and selects the top 100 securities by market capitalization.

The Index constituents are equally weighted and the Index is reconstituted and rebalanced annually. Since the Fund's inception on September 23, 2021, the Indxx US Infrastructure Index returned 5.50%. Given the daily investment objectives of the ETFs and the path dependency of returns for longer periods, the annual return of the index alone should not generate expectations of annual performance of the ETFs.

Index Volatility:

After the initial onslaught of the equity sell off during the height of the pandemic, the CBOE Volatility Index reached a low point in October 2021, trading around 15, which was a remarkable improvement from the index peak that touched 37 in late January 2021. The decline was a result of the decreasing case counts, an increase in vaccinations, and the passing of the initial uncertainty in the equity market. However, upon entering the Annual Period, the volatility spiked and the downward trend was due to the failure to agree on an economic aid package before the November 3rd election by lawmakers. Volatility spiked once again in mid-February, following the tech sector's rout due to the fear of rising 10 year rates. The tech and work from home thematic names, which were some of the best performing stocks during the pandemic in the prior year, were hit the hardest by the uptick in the interest rates. The rates have since stabilized through the summer, but continued to decrease through Period end. This further emphasized inflation fears. Even though the CBOE Volatility Index finished the period at 16.53, volatility is slated to remain tied to geopolitical risk, as the U.S. and world leaders continue to adjust to the pandemic and inflation fears.

An investor should carefully consider a Fund's investment objective, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. A Fund's prospectus and summary prospectus contain this and other information about the Direxion Shares. To obtain a Fund's prospectus and summary prospectus call 866-476-7523 or visit our website at direxion.com. A Fund's prospectus and summary prospectus should be read carefully before investing.

Investing in a Direxion Shares ETF may be more volatile than investing in broadly diversified funds. The use of leverage by an ETF increases the risk to the ETF. The Direxion Shares ETFs are not suitable for all investors and should be utilized only by sophisticated investors who understand leverage risk, consequences of seeking daily leveraged, or daily inverse leveraged, investment results and intend to actively monitor and manage their investment. The Direxion Shares ETFs are not designed to track their respective underlying indices over a period of time longer than one day.

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 under one year are cumulative, not annualized. For the most recent month-end performance please visit the Funds website at direxion.com.

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. Because of ongoing market volatility, Fund performance may be subject to substantial short-term changes. For additional information, see the Fund's prospectus.

Shares of the Direxion Shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from a Fund. Market Price returns are based upon the midpoint of the bid/ask spread at 4:00 pm EST (when NAV is normally calculated) and do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Fund returns assume that dividends and capital gains distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV. Some performance results reflect expense reimbursements or recoupments and fee waivers in effect during certain periods shown. Absent these reimbursements or recoupments and fee waivers, results would have been less favorable.

LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) is the average interest rate estimated by leading banks in London that they would be charged if borrowing from other banks.

Direxion Shares Risks – An investment in the ETFs involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. The ETFs are non-diversified and include risks associated with concentration risk that results from the ETFs' investments in a particular industry or sector which can increase volatility. The use of derivatives such as futures contracts, forward contracts, options and swaps are subject to market risks that may cause their price to fluctuate over time. The ETF does not attempt to, and should not be expected to; provide returns which are a multiple of the return of the Index for periods other than a single day. For other risks including correlation, leverage, compounding, market volatility and specific risks regarding each sector, please read the prospectus.

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. As stated in the current prospectus, the Fund's total annual fund operating expense ratio (gross) is 0.85%. Rafferty Asset Management, LLC has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse the Fund for other expenses through September 1, 2023 to the extent the Total Annual Operating Expenses exceed 0.80% (excluding, as applicable, among other expenses, taxes, swap financing and related costs, acquired fund fees and expenses, dividends or interest on short positions, other interest expenses, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses). The performance table and graph do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. For the Fund's most recent month end performance please visit www.direxion.com.

A fund that meets its daily target over a period of time will not necessarily produce the returns that might be expected in light of the returns of its index or benchmark for that period. Differences may result from the compounding effect of market fluctuation, the use of leverage and a Bear Fund's inverse correlation. The pursuit of daily goals may result in daily, leveraged compounding, which means that the return of an index over a period of time greater than one day multiplied by a fund's specified inverse multiple (-100%) will not generally equal a fund's performance over that same period.

This chart illustrates the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment made on the Fund's inception and is not intended to imply any future performance. Shares of Direxion Shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Performance reflects reinvestment of all dividend and capital gains distributions. During this period, some of the Fund's fees were waived and/or expenses reimbursed; otherwise, the Fund's performance would have been lower.

The CSI 300 Index is a modified free-float market capitalization weighted index comprised of the largest and most liquid stocks in the Chinese A-share market. Index constituent stocks must have been listed for more than three months (unless the stock's average daily A-share market capitalization since its initial listing ranks among the top 30 of all A-shares) and must not be experiencing obvious abnormal fluctuations or market manipulations. Investors cannot invest directly in an index, although they can invest in its underlying securities.

Market Exposure

The Fund seeks daily exposure of -100% of its NAV through derivatives. "Market Exposure" includes the value of total investments (including the contract value of any derivatives) and excludes any short-term investments and cash equivalents divided by Net Assets.

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. As stated in the current prospectus, the Fund's total annual operating expense ratio (gross) is 0.88%. Rafferty Asset Management, LLC has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse the Fund for other expenses through September 1, 2023 to the extent the Total Annual Operating Expenses exceed 0.60% (excluding, as applicable, among other expenses, taxes, swap financing and related costs, acquired fund fees and expenses, dividends or interest on short positions, other interest expenses, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses).

A fund that meets its daily target over a period of time will not necessarily produce the returns that might be expected in light of the returns of its index or benchmark for that period. Differences may result from the compounding effect of market fluctuation and the use of leverage. The pursuit of daily goals may result in daily, leveraged compounding, which means that the return of an index over a period of time greater than one day multiplied by a fund's specified multiple (200%) will not generally equal a fund's performance over that same period.

This chart illustrates the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment made on the Fund's inception and is not intended to imply any future performance. Shares of Direxion Shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Performance reflects reinvestment of all dividend and capital gains distributions. During this period, some of the Fund's fees were waived and/or expenses reimbursed; otherwise, the Fund's performance would have been lower.

The MSCI Brazil 25/50 Index is designed to measure the performance of the large and mid cap segments of the Brazil equity market, covering approximately 85% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization in Brazil. The Index applies certain screens and weightings to take into account the investment limits placed on regulated investment companies ("RICs") under federal tax regulations. One such requirement is that at the end of each quarter of a RIC's tax year, no more than 25% of its assets may be invested in a single issuer and the sum of the weights of all issuers representing more than 5% of the RIC should not exceed 50% of its total assets. The Index aims to reflect these requirements in the selection and weighting of its component securities. Investors cannot invest directly in an index, although they can invest in its underlying securities.

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 under one year are cumulative, not annualized. As stated in the current prospectus, the Fund's total annual operating expense ratio (gross) is 1.14%. Rafferty Asset Management, LLC has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse the Fund for other expenses through September 1, 2023 to the extent the Total Annual Operating Expenses exceed 0.95% (excluding, as applicable, among other expenses, taxes, swap financing and related costs, acquired fund fees and expenses, dividends or interest on short positions, other interest expenses, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses). The performance table and graph do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. For the Fund's most recent month end performance please visit www.direxion.com.

A fund that meets its daily target over a period of time will not necessarily produce the returns that might be expected in light of the returns of its index or benchmark for that period. Differences may result from the compounding effect of market fluctuation, the use of leverage and a Bear Fund's inverse correlation. The pursuit of daily goals may result in daily, leveraged compounding, which means that the return of an index over a period of time greater than one day multiplied by a fund's specified inverse multiple (-200%) will not generally equal a fund's performance over that same period.

This chart illustrates the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment made on the Fund's inception and is not intended to imply any future performance. Shares of Direxion Shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Performance reflects reinvestment of all dividend and capital gains distributions. During this period, some of the Fund's fees were waived and/or expenses reimbursed; otherwise, the Fund's performance would have been lower.

The Energy Select Sector Index is provided by Standard & Poor's and includes domestic companies from the following industries: oil, gas & consumable fuels; and energy equipment & services. Each of the component securities of the Index is a constituent company of the S&P 500 Index. The performance of Energy Select Sector Index does not reflect the deduction of fees associated with the Fund, such as investment management fees. Investors cannot invest directly in an index, although they can invest in its underlying securities.

Market Exposure

The Fund seeks daily exposure of -200% of its NAV through derivatives. "Market Exposure" includes the value of total investments (including the contract value of any derivatives) and excludes any short-term investments and cash equivalents divided by Net Assets.

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 under one year are cumulative, not annualized. As stated in the current prospectus, the Fund's total annual operating expense ratio (gross) is 1.12%. Rafferty Asset Management, LLC has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse the Fund for other expenses through September 1, 2023 to the extent the Total Annual Operating Expenses exceed 0.95% (excluding, as applicable, among other expenses, taxes, swap financing and related costs, acquired fund fees and expenses, dividends or interest on short positions, other interest expenses, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses). The performance table and graph do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. For the Fund's most recent month end performance please visit www.direxion.com.

A fund that meets its daily target over a period of time will not necessarily produce the returns that might be expected in light of the returns of its index or benchmark for that period. Differences may result from the compounding effect of market fluctuation and the use of leverage and a Bear Fund's inverse correlation. The pursuit of daily goals may result in daily, leveraged compounding, which means that the return of an index over a period of time greater than one day multiplied by a fund's specified multiple (-200%) will not generally equal a fund's performance over that same period.

This chart illustrates the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment made on the Fund's inception and is not intended to imply any future performance. Shares of Direxion Shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Performance reflects reinvestment of all dividend and capital gains distributions. During this period, some of the Fund's fees were waived and/or expenses reimbursed; otherwise, the Fund's performance would have been lower.

Expense Example (Unaudited)

October 31, 2021

As a shareholder of the Direxion Shares ETF Trust, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, for purchasing and selling shares and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The example is based on initial investments of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held the entire period (May 1, 2021 to October 31, 2021).

Actual expenses

The first line under each Fund in the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for your Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period May 1, 2021 to October 31, 2021" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Fund shares. Therefore, the second line under each Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing Fund costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1  Net investment income (loss) per share represents net investment income divided by the daily average shares of beneficial interest outstanding throughout each period.

2  Excludes interest expense and extraordinary expenses which comprise of tax and litigation expenses.

3  Due to the timing of sales and redemptions of capital shares, the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) per share will not equal the Fund's changes in net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments, in-kind redemptions, futures and swaps for the period.

4  Total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at the net asset value at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at net asset value during the period and redemption on the last day of the period. Total return calculated for a period of less than one year is not annualized. The total return would have been lower if certain expenses had not been reimbursed/waived or recouped by the investment advisor.

5  For periods less than a year, these ratios are annualized.

6  Net expenses include effects of any reimbursement/waiver or recoupment.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").

a) Investment Valuation – The Net Asset Value ("NAV") per share of each Fund is determined daily, as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") (normally at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time ("Valuation Time")), each day the NYSE is open for business. A security listed or traded on an exchange, domestic or foreign, is valued at its last sales price on the principal exchange on which it is traded prior to the time when assets are valued. If no sale is reported at that time, the mean of the last bid and asked prices is used. Securities primarily traded on the NASDAQ® Global Market ("NASDAQ") for which market quotations are readily available are valued using the NASDAQ® Official Closing Price ("NOCP") provided by NASDAQ each business day. Over-the-counter ("OTC") securities held by a Fund are valued at the last sales price or, if no sales price is reported, the mean of the last bid and asked price is used. The portfolio securities of a Fund that are listed on national exchanges are valued at the last sales price of such securities or; if no sales price is reported, the mean of the last bid and asked price is used. Swap contracts are valued using the closing price of the underlying reference entity or the closing value of the underlying reference index. The Funds valued their investments in money market funds based on their daily net asset values. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established on the exchange on which they are traded, if that settlement price reflects trading prior to the Valuation Time. If the settlement price established by the exchange reflects trading after the Valuation Time, then the last sales price prior to Valuation Time will be used. Securities, swap or futures contracts are fair valued as determined by the Adviser under the supervision of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") in the following scenarios: a) reliable market quotations are not readily available; b) the Fund's pricing service does not provide a valuation for such securities; c) the Fund's pricing service provides a valuation that in the judgment of the Adviser does not represent fair value; or d) the Fund or Adviser believes the market price is stale.

DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT
106


b) Swap Contracts – Each Fund may enter into equity swap contacts. Standard equity swap contracts are between two parties that agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross amount to be exchanged is calculated with respect to a "notional amount" (i.e. the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a "basket" of securities representing a particular index or industry sector). Each Fund enters into master netting agreements with counterparties to mitigate counterparty credit risk in derivative contracts. A Fund does not offset fair value amounts for derivative contracts and related cash collateral on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities arising from derivative contracts executed with the same counterparties under such master netting agreements. Each Fund's obligations are accrued daily and offset by any amounts owed to the Fund.

In a "long" equity swap agreement, the counterparty will generally agree to pay the Fund the amount, if any, by which the notional amount of the swap contract would have increased in value if the Fund had been invested in the particular securities, plus dividends that would have been received on those securities. The Fund will agree to pay the counterparty a floating rate of interest (e.g., a LIBOR based rate) on the notional amount of the swap contract plus the amount, if any, by which the notional amount would have decreased in value had it been invested in such securities plus, in certain instances, commissions or trading spreads on the notional amounts. Thus, the return on the swap contract should be the gain or loss on the notional amount plus dividends on the securities less the interest and commission paid by the Fund on the notional amount. Payments may be made at the conclusion of the contract or periodically during its term. In certain instances, market factors such as the interest rate environment and the demand to borrow the securities underlying the swap agreement can cause a scenario in which the counterparty will pay the Fund interest. These swap contracts do not include the delivery of securities by the Funds to the counterparty. The net amount of the excess, if any, of the Fund's obligations owed over its entitlement with respect to each swap is accrued on a daily basis and an amount of cash or liquid assets having an aggregate net asset value at least equal to such accrued excess is maintained in a segregated account by the Funds' custodian. Until a swap contract is settled in cash, the gain or loss on the notional amount plus dividends on the securities less the interest paid by the Fund on the notional amount are recorded as "unrealized appreciation or depreciation on swaps" and when cash is exchanged, the gain or loss is recorded as "realized gains or losses on swaps".

Each Fund may enter into swap contracts that provide the opposite return of the underlying benchmark or security ("short" the index or security). The operations are similar to that of the swaps disclosed above except that the counterparty pays interest to the Fund on the notional amount outstanding and the dividends on the underlying securities reduce the return of the swap. However, in certain instances, market factors such as the interest rate environment and the demand to borrow the securities underlying the swap agreement can cause a scenario in which the Fund will pay the counterparty interest. These amounts are netted with any unrealized appreciation or depreciation to determine the value of the swap. The Funds will typically enter into equity swap agreements to obtain leverage in order to meet their investment objectives.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-01, "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" ("ASU 2013-01"), requires entities to disclose (i) gross and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the financial statements, and (ii) instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting agreement. ASU 2013-01 is limited in scope recognize derivative instruments accounted for under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, to the extent they are offset in the financial statements or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement of similar agreement.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help a Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, a Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement ("ISDA Master Agreement") or similar agreement with its counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between a Fund and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives, including swap contracts, and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms, netting and rights of set-off provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, a Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments' payables and receivables to create a single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of a default (close-out netting) or similar event, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty.

Collateral requirements generally differ by type of derivative. Collateral terms are contract specific for OTC derivatives (e.g. swaps). Generally, for transactions traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are calculated by netting the marked-to-market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by a Fund and the counterparty. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to the counterparty must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold before a transfer is required to be made. To the extent

DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT
107


amounts due to a Fund from its derivative counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. Interest earned on collateral pledged to a counterparty is presented as part of Interest income on the Statements of Operations. Interest incurred on collateral received from a counterparty is presented as Interest expense on the Statements of Operations.

For financial reporting purposes, the Funds elect to not offset assets and liabilities subject to an ISDA Master Agreement, if any, in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Therefore, all qualifying transactions are presented on a gross basis in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As of October 31, 2021, the impact of netting of assets and liabilities and the offsetting of collateral pledged or received based on contractual netting/set-off provisions in the ISDA Master Agreement are detailed in the following tables.

In the event of the counterparty's default, bankruptcy or any other event for which the counterparty cannot meet its obligations, a Fund bears the risk of loss equal to the amount of the daily appreciation owed to the Fund. This obligation represents the daily gain accrued to the Fund from the close of business day prior to this event to the day on which this event occurs and the counterparty can no longer meet its obligations. A Fund will enter into swap agreements only with large, well-capitalized and established financial institutions. The creditworthiness of each of the firms that is a party to a swap agreement is monitored by the Adviser. Shareholders may obtain swap counterparty financial statements at www.sec.gov. Swap contracts are subject to credit risk. Credit risk occurs when the financial condition of an issuer of a security or instrument may cause it to default or become unable to pay interest or principal due on the security. The counterparty to a swap contract might default on its obligations. In addition, the Funds have agreements with certain counterparties with which it trades swap contracts that contain credit risk-related contingent features that could be triggered subject to certain circumstances. Such circumstances include agreed upon net asset value and performance-based thresholds. The maximum exposure to the Funds in regard to potential counterparty default and credit-risk related contingent features at October 31, 2021 is detailed in the following tables. If such credit risk-related contingencies were triggered, the counterparties would have the option to terminate any positions open under the master netting agreement.

c) Futures Contracts – Each Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts. A Fund may use futures contracts to gain exposure to, or hedge against, changes in the values of commodities, equities, interest rates or foreign currencies. Upon entering into a contract, the Fund deposits and maintains as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is effected. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as "variation margin" and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains and losses. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. As collateral for futures contracts, the Fund is required under the 1940 Act to maintain assets consisting of cash, cash equivalents or liquid securities. This collateral is required to be adjusted daily to reflect the market value of the purchase obligation for long futures contracts or the market value of the instrument underlying the contract, but not less than the market price at which the futures contract was established, for short futures contracts

d) Risks of Futures Contracts, Options on Futures Contracts and Short Positions – The risks inherent in the use of options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts and short positions include 1) adverse changes in the fair value of such instruments; 2) imperfect correlation between the price of options and futures contracts and options thereon and movements in the price of the underlying securities, index or futures contracts; 3) the possible absence of a liquid secondary market for any particular instrument at any time; 4) the possible need to defer closing out certain positions to avoid adverse tax consequences; and 5) the possible non-performance by the counterparty under the terms of the contract. The Funds designate cash, cash equivalents and liquid securities as collateral for written options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts and short positions. The Funds were not invested in any type of futures or options contracts during the period ended October 31, 2021.

e) Risks of Investing in Foreign Securities – Investments in foreign securities involve greater risks than investing in domestic securities. As a result, the Funds' returns and net asset values may be affected to a large degree by fluctuations in currency exchange rates, political, diplomatic or economic conditions and regulatory requirements in other countries. The laws, accounting and financial reporting standards in foreign countries may require less disclosure than required in the U.S., and therefore there may be less public information available about foreign companies. Investments in foreign emerging markets present a greater risk than investing in foreign issuers in general. The risk of political or social upheaval is greater in emerging

markets. In addition, there may be risks of an economy's dependence on revenues from particular commodities, currency transfer restrictions, a limited number of potential buyers for such securities and delays and disruption in securities settlement procedures.

f) Security Transactions – Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. The Funds determine the gain or loss realized from investment transactions by comparing the identified cost, which is the same basis used for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, with the net sales proceeds.

g) Securities Lending – Each Fund may lend up to 331/3% of the value of the securities in their portfolios to approved brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Fund collateral consisting of cash, cash equivalents, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government. The collateral received by each Fund is required to have a value of at least 102% of the current value of the loaned securities. During the term of the loan, each Fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities but does not receive interest income on securities received as collateral. Each Fund receives compensation for lending its securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash, cash equivalents or U.S. Government securities held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to borrower and net of fees paid to the lending agent. The amount of fees depends on a number of factors including the security type and the length of the loan. In addition, a Fund will receive a fee from the borrower for non-cash collateral equal to a percentage of the market value of the loaned securities. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions. No more than 99% of the value of any security may be on loan at any time.

As of October 31, 2021, all securities on loan were collateralized by cash and/or U.S. government obligations. The cash received as collateral for securities on loan was invested in money market funds, whose maturities are overnight and continuous, and is disclosed in the Schedules of Investments. The securities on loan in each Fund are also disclosed in the Schedule of Investments. The total value of securities loaned and the value of the invested cash collateral are disclosed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Non-cash collateral consists of U.S. Treasury securities and is not disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as its held by the lending agent on behalf of the Funds, and the Funds do not have the ability to sell, reinvest or pledge those securities. Income earned by the Funds from securities lending is disclosed in the Statements of Operations.

The risks of securities lending include the risk that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due. To mitigate these risks, the Funds are contractually indemnified with the securities lending agent. Furthermore, the Funds require the value of the securities loaned to be computed daily at the close of the market and additional collateral be furnished, if required.

As of October 31, 2021, the market value of the securities loaned and the related cash and non-cash collateral received for securities lending were as follows:

h) Federal Income Taxes – Each Fund intends to make the requisite distributions of income and capital gains to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company. Therefore, no provision for U.S. Federal income tax has been made by the Funds.

DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT
117


The Funds may be subject to a nondeductible 4% U.S. excise tax calculated as a percentage of certain undistributed amounts of net investment income and net capital gains. No Funds paid this excise tax during the period ended October 31, 2021.

i) Income and Expenses – Interest income, including amortization of premiums and discounts, is recognized on an accrual basis. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Funds are charged for those expenses that are directly attributable to each series, such as advisory fees and registration costs. Expenses that are not directly attributable to a series are generally allocated among the Trust's series in proportion to their respective average daily net assets.

j) Distributions to Shareholders – Each Fund pays dividends from net investment income and distributes net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with U.S. Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Certain Funds also utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemptions of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

k) Guarantees and Indemnifications – In the ordinary course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification provisions pursuant to which the Funds agree to indemnify third parties upon the occurrence of specified events. The Funds' maximum exposure relating to these indemnification agreements is unknown. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses in connection with these provisions and believe the risk of loss is remote.

l) Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3.  INCOME TAX AND DISTRIBUTION INFORMATION

The tax character of distributions paid during the periods ended October 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020 are presented in the following table. The tax character of distributions to shareholders made during the period may differ from their ultimate characterization for U.S. Federal income tax purposes.

GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the year ended October 31, 2021, the permanent differences primarily relate to tax treatment of redemptions in-kind, net operating losses and the utilization of earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares.

In order to meet certain U.S. excise tax distribution requirements, each Fund is required to measure and distribute annually net capital gains realized during a twelve month period ending October 31 and net investment income earned during a

twelve month period ending December 31. In connection with this, these Funds are permitted for tax purposes to defer into their next fiscal year qualified late year losses. Qualified late year ordinary losses are generally losses incurred between January 1 and the end of their fiscal year, October 31, 2021.

The Funds follow authoritative financial reporting rules regarding recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Management has reviewed all open tax years and concluded that there is no effect to the Funds' financial positions or results of operations and no tax liability was required to be recorded resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During this period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. Open tax years are those years that are open for examination by the relevant income taxing authority. As of October 31, 2021, open U.S. Federal and state income tax years include the tax years ended October 31, 2018 through October 31, 2021. The Funds have no examinations in progress. The Funds are also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax expense will significantly change in the next twelve months.

4.  CREATION AND REDEMPTION TRANSACTIONS AND TRANSACTION FEES

Each Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of shares called "Creation Units." A Creation Unit consists of 50,000 shares. Creation Units of the Bull Funds are issued and redeemed in cash and/or in-kind for securities included in the relevant underlying index. Creation Units of the Bear Funds are issued and redeemed for cash. Investors such as market makers, large investors and institutions who wish to deal in creation units directly with a Fund must have entered into an authorized participant agreement with the principal underwriter and the transfer agent, or purchase through a dealer that has entered into such an agreement. Transactions in shares for each Fund include both cash and in-kind transactions and are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

Transaction fees payable to the Trust are imposed to compensate the Trust for the transfer and other transaction costs of a Fund associated with the issuance and redemption of creation units. There is a fixed and a variable component to the total transaction fee. A fixed transaction fee is applicable to each creation or redemption transaction, regardless of the number of creation units purchased or redeemed. In addition, a variable transaction fee equal to a percentage of the value of each creation unit purchased or redeemed is applicable to each creation or redemption transaction. Not all Funds will have a transaction fee associated with capital share activity for the year. Transaction fees received by each Fund are presented in the Capital Share Transaction section of the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

5.  INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

The table below presents each Fund's investment transactions during the period ended October 31, 2021. Purchases represent the aggregate purchases of investments excluding the cost of in-kind purchases, short-term investment purchases, swaps and futures contracts. Sales represent the aggregate sales of investments excluding proceeds from in-kind sales, short-term investments, swaps and futures contracts. Purchases in-kind are the aggregate of all in-kind purchases and sales in-kind are the aggregate of all proceeds from in-kind sales. The transactions for each of these categories are as follows:

The net amounts receivable (payable) arising from the Investment Advisory Agreement, Management Services Agreement and waiver of any expenses as of October 31, 2021 is presented on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Due from (to) Adviser, net.

The Board has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. In accordance with the Plan, each Fund is authorized to charge an amount up to 0.25% of its average daily net assets each year for certain distribution-related activities and shareholder services. No 12b-1 fees were charged by any Fund.

7.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Funds follow authoritative fair valuation accounting standards, which establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels below:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT
126


Level 2 – Evaluated price based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar securities in inactive markets, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds' investments at October 31, 2021:

For further detail on each asset class, see each Fund's Schedule of Investments.

*  Total return swap contracts are valued at the unrealized appreciation/(depreciation).

The Funds also follow authoritative accounting standards, which require additional disclosure regarding fair value measurements. Specifically, these standards require reporting entities to disclose a) the input and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements, for Level 2 or Level 3 positions, and b) purchases and sales on a gross basis in the Level 3 rollforward rather than as one net number. Additionally, reporting entities are required to disclose quantitative information about unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

There were no Level 3 securities held by the Funds during the period ended October 31, 2021.

8.  VALUATION OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Funds follow authoritative standards of accounting for derivative instruments, which establish disclosure requirements for derivative instruments. These standards improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosures that enable investors to understand how and why a fund uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments are accounted for and how derivative instruments affect a fund's financial position and results of operations.

Certain Funds use derivative instruments as part of their principal investment strategy to achieve their investment objective. For additional discussion on the risks associated with derivative instruments refer to Note 2. As of October 31, 2021, the Funds were invested in swap contracts. At October 31, 2021, the fair values of derivative instruments, by primary risk, were as follows:

9.  PRINCIPAL RISKS

Below are some of the principal risks of investing in the Funds. Please refer to the Funds' prospectus for a full discussion.

Counterparty Risk – A Fund will be subject to credit risk with respect to the amount it expects to receive from counterparties to financial instruments entered into by the Fund. The Funds' counterparties are generally required to post collateral to the Funds to the extent of the Funds' daily exposure to such counterparties. However, to the extent any such collateral is insufficient, the Funds will be exposed to counterparty risk as described in this paragraph. In addition, there may be a delay

DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT
130


associated with realization by the Funds of the collateral posted by such counterparties in the event of counterparty default or bankruptcy. A Fund may be negatively impacted if a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties. A Fund may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in a bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding, and a Fund may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances.

Daily Index Correlation/Tracking Risk – A number of factors may affect a Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with its benchmark, and there can be no guarantee that a Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation. A failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent a Fund from achieving its investment objective. A number of factors may adversely affect a Fund's correlation with its benchmark, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, costs associated with the use of leveraged investment techniques, income items, accounting standards, and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests. A Fund may not have investment exposure to all securities in its underlying benchmark index, or its weighting of investment exposure to such stocks or industries may be different from that of the index. In addition, a Fund may invest in securities or financial instruments not included in the index underlying its benchmark. A Fund may be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or under-exposed to its benchmark. Activities surrounding annual index reconstitutions and other index rebalancing or reconstitution events may hinder the Funds' ability to meet their daily investment objective on that day. Each Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio daily to keep leverage consistent with its daily investment objective.

Certain Funds are "leveraged" funds in the sense that they have investment objectives to match a multiple of the performance of an index on a given day. These Funds are subject to all of the correlation risks described above. In addition, there is a special form of correlation risk that derives from these Funds' use of leverage, which is that for periods greater than one day, the use of leverage tends to cause the performance of a Fund to be either greater than or less than the index performance times the stated multiple in the fund objective, before accounting for fees and fund expenses. In general, given a particular index return, increased volatility of the index will cause a decrease in the performance relative to the index performance times the stated fund multiple.

Derivatives Risk – The Fund's investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other investments, including risk related to the market, leverage, imperfect daily correlations with underlying investments or the Fund's other portfolio holdings, higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty risk, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions.

In addition, the Fund's investments in derivatives are subject to the following risks:

•  Swap Agreements. Swap agreements are entered into primarily with major global financial institutions for a specified period which may range from one day to more than one year. In a standard swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined reference assets or underlying securities or instruments. The gross return to be exchanged or swapped between the parties is calculated based on a notional amount or the return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a basket of securities representing a particular index or an ETF that seeks to track an index. Swaps are subject to counterparty, valuation and leveraging risks.

•  Futures Contracts. Futures contracts are typically exchange-traded contracts that call for the future delivery of an asset at a certain price and date, or cash settlement of the terms of the contract. There may be an imperfect correlation between the changes in market value of the securities held by the Fund and the prices of futures contracts. Futures contracts are subject to liquidity risks; there may not be a liquid secondary market for the futures contracts and the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction. Exchanges may also limit the number of positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Adviser, thus limiting the ability of the Fund to implement its leveraged investment strategy. Futures markets are highly volatile and the use of futures may increase the Fund's volatility. Futures contracts are also subject to leverage risk.

Foreign Securities Risk – Investments in foreign securities directly or indirectly through investments in exchange traded funds which track foreign securities involve greater risks than investing in domestic securities. As a result, the Funds' returns

DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT
131


and net asset values may be affected to a large degree by fluctuations in currency exchange rates, political, diplomatic or economic conditions and regulatory requirements in other countries. The laws, accounting and financial reporting standards in foreign countries may require less disclosure than required in the U.S., and therefore there may be less public information available about foreign companies. Investments in foreign emerging markets present a greater risk than investing in foreign issuers in general. The risk of political or social upheaval is greater in emerging markets. In addition, there may be risks of an economy's dependence on revenues from particular commodities, currency transfer restrictions, a limited number of potential buyers for such securities and delays and disruption in securities settlement procedures.

Leverage Risk – Leverage offers a means of magnifying market movements into larger changes in an investment's value and provides greater investment exposure than an unleveraged investment. Swap and futures contracts may be used to create leverage. Certain Funds employ leveraged investment techniques to achieve its investment objective.

Liquidity Risk – In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the securities or financial instruments in which a Fund invests, a Fund might not be able to dispose of certain holdings quickly or at prices that represent fair market value in the judgment of the Adviser. Additionally, certain counterparties may have the ability to demand repayment at any time, thereby exposing the Fund to the risk that it may be required to liquidate investments at an inopportune time. This may prevent a Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or from achieving a high correlation or inverse correlation with its underlying index.

Market Disruption Risk – Geopolitical and other events, including public health crises and natural disasters, have recently led to increased market volatility and significant market losses. Significant market volatility and market downturns may limit a Fund's ability to sell securities and the Fund's sales may exacerbate the market volatility and downturn. Under such circumstances, a Fund may have difficulty achieving its investment objective for one or more trading days, which may adversely impact the Fund's returns on those days and periods inclusive of those days. Alternatively, the Fund may incur higher costs in order to achieve its investment objective and may be forced to purchase and sell securities (including other ETFs' shares) at market prices that do not represent their fair value (including in the case of an ETF, its net asset value) or at times that result in differences between the price the Fund receives for the security and the market closing price of the security. Under those circumstances, the Fund's ability to track its index is likely to be adversely affected, the market price of Fund shares may reflect a greater premium or discount to net asset value, and bid-ask spreads in the Fund's shares may widen, resulting in increased transaction costs for secondary market purchasers and sellers. The Fund may also incur additional tracking error due to the use of other securities that are not perfectly correlated to the Fund's index.

The recent pandemic spread of the novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 has proven to be a market disrupting event. The impact of this virus, like other pandemics that may arise in the future, has negatively affected and may continue to negatively affect the economies of many nations, companies and the global securities and commodities markets, including by reducing liquidity in the markets. Adverse effects may be more pronounced for developing or emerging market countries that have less established health care systems. How long such events will last and whether they will continue or recur cannot be predicted.

Sector Concentration Risk – The risk of concentrating investments in a limited number of issuers in a particular industry is that a Fund will be more susceptible to the risks associated with that industry than a Fund that does not concentrate its investments.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the Funds' financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

We have served as the auditor of one or more of the Direxion investment companies since 2001.

The Funds are designating as long-term capital gain dividends, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 852(b)(3), the amount necessary to reduce the earnings and profits of the Funds related to net capital gain to zero for the tax year ended October 31, 2021. To the extent necessary to fully distribute such capital gain, the Funds also designate earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on the redemption of shares.

Householding

In an effort to decrease costs, the Funds intend to reduce the number of duplicate prospectuses, Annual and Semi-Annual Reports, proxy statements and other similar documents you receive by sending only one copy of each to those addresses shared by two or more accounts and to shareholders we reasonably believe are from the same family or household. Householding begins once you have signed your account application. After such time, if you would like to discontinue householding for your accounts, please call toll-free at (800) 851-0511 to request individual copies of these documents. Once the Funds receive notice to stop householding, we will begin sending individual copies thirty days after receiving your request. This policy does not apply to account statements.

Direxion Shares ETF Trust

Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)

Provided below is a summary of certain of the factors the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Direxion Shares ETF Trust (the "Trust"), including the trustees who are not "interested persons" as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, (the "Independent Trustees"), considered in approving the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement") between Rafferty Asset Management, LLC (the "Adviser") and the Trust, on behalf of the Direxion Daily Select Large Caps & FANGs Bull 2X Shares at the November 24, 2020 meeting, the Direxion Daily 5G Communications Bull 2X Shares at the February 10, 2021 meeting, and the Direxion Daily Global Clean Energy Bull 2X Shares, Direxion Daily Travel & Vacation Bull 2X Shares and Direxion Daily US Infrastructure Bull 2X Shares at the May 18, 2021 meeting, each a series of the Trust. Each series of the Trust listed above is referred to herein as a "Fund" and collectively as the "Funds." The Board, including the trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 Act, as amended (the "Independent Trustees"), unanimously approved the Agreement on behalf of the Funds. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined that the terms of the Agreement for the Funds were fair and reasonable and in the best interests of shareholders.

The Board did not identify any particular information that was most relevant to its consideration to approve the Agreement and each Trustee may have afforded different weight or importance to different factors. For each Fund, the Board considered, among others, the following factors to the extent applicable: (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided; (2) the projected profitability to the Adviser based upon its services to be provided to the Fund; (3) the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as the Fund grows; (4) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of the Fund's shareholders; (5) comparisons of services and fees with contracts entered into by the Adviser with other clients (such as institutional investors), if any; and (6) other benefits anticipated to be derived and identified by the Adviser from its relationship with the Fund.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided.  The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided under the Agreement by the Adviser. Based on written materials received, a presentation from senior representatives of the Adviser and a discussion with the Adviser about its personnel, operations and financial condition, the Board considered the quality of the services provided by the Adviser under the Agreement. In this regard, the Board considered information regarding the experience, qualifications and professional background of the portfolio managers and other personnel at the Adviser with principal responsibility for the Funds, as well as the capacity and integrity of the Adviser's senior management and staff. The Board noted that the Adviser has provided services to the Trust since its inception date and has developed an expertise in managing funds with investment strategies similar to the Funds. The Board considered the Adviser's representations that it has the financial resources and appropriate staffing to manage the Funds and to meet its fee waiver and expense obligations thereto. The Board considered that the Adviser will oversee all aspects of the operation of the Funds, including oversight of the Funds' service providers, and provide compliance services to the Funds. The Board observed that because the Funds had not commenced operations, they did not have any prior performance history. Under the totality of the circumstances, the Board determined that, in the exercise of its business judgment, the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser to the Funds under the Agreement were fair and reasonable.

Costs of Services Provided to the Funds and Profits Realized.  The Board considered the fairness and reasonableness of the investment advisory fee rates to be paid to the Adviser by the Funds, including in light of the investment advisory services to be provided by the Adviser. The Board considered the fees to be paid to the Adviser on an annual basis, including as limited by the Operating Expense Limitation Agreement. The Board considered the proposed advisory fee rate and net expense ratio for each Fund was similar to those of comparable exchange-traded funds and to those of similar series of the Trust.

The Board further considered the overall profitability of the Adviser's investment business and, because the Funds had not commenced operations and the Adviser had no prior profit data related to the Funds, the Board considered the break-even analysis provided by the Adviser for each Fund. The Board considered the significant drivers of cost for the Adviser including, but not limited to, intellectual capital, portfolio rebalancing, regulatory compliance, and entrepreneurial risk. The Board also considered the costs that investors would likely incur if they independently sought to achieve the investment objectives of the Funds. Based on these considerations, the Board determined that, in the exercise of its business judgment, the costs of the services to be provided and any profits that may be realized under the Agreement was not excessive.

Economies of Scale.  The Board considered whether economies of scale may be realized by each Fund as it grows larger and the extent to which any such economies of scale are reflected in contractual fee rates. Noting that the Funds had not yet commenced operations and did not yet have any assets, the Board concluded that economies of scale were not a material factor for the Board to consider in approving the Agreement.

Direxion Shares ETF Trust

Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)

Other Benefits.  The Board considered the Adviser's representation that its relationship with the Funds may enable it to attract assets to the other funds. The Board also considered that the Adviser's overall business with brokerage firms may allow it to negotiate lower commission rates and get better execution for all of its portfolio trades. Based on these and other considerations, the Board determined that such benefits to the Adviser would likely not be material and, overall, would be reasonable.

Conclusion.  The Board did not identify any single factor as being of paramount importance, and different Trustees may have given different weight to different factors. The Board reviewed a memorandum from counsel discussing the legal standards applicable to its consideration of the Agreement. Based on its review, including consideration of each of the factors referenced above, and its consideration of information received throughout the year from the Adviser, the Board determined, in the exercise of its business judgment, that the advisory arrangements, as outlined in the Agreement, were fair and reasonable in light of the services performed, or to be performed, expenses incurred, or to be incurred and such other matters as the Board considered relevant.

Direxion Shares ETF Trust

Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)

Consistent with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Direxion Shares ETF Trust (the "ETF Trust") annually considers the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement") between Rafferty Asset Management, LLC (the "Adviser") and the ETF Trust, on behalf of the Direxion Daily CSI 300 China A Share Bear 1X Shares, Direxion Daily S&P 500® Bear 1X Shares, Direxion Daily CSI 300 China A Share Bull 2X Shares, Direxion Daily CSI China Internet Index Bull 2X Shares, Direxion Daily S&P 500® Bull 2X Shares, Direxion Daily Latin America Bull 2X Shares, Direxion Daily MSCI Brazil Bull 2X Shares, Direxion Daily MSCI India Bull 2X Shares, Direxion Daily Russia Bull 2X Shares, Direxion Daily Energy Bull 2X Shares, Direxion Daily Energy Bear 2X Shares, Direxion Daily Gold Miners Index Bull 2X Shares, Direxion Daily Gold Miners Index Bear 2X Shares, Direxion Daily Junior Gold Miners Index Bull 2X Shares, Direxion Daily Junior Gold Miners Index Bear 2X Shares, Direxion Daily Robotics, Artificial Intelligence & Automation Index Bull 2X Shares, Direxion Daily S&P Oil & Gas Exp. & Prod. Bull 2X Shares, and the Direxion Daily S&P Oil & Gas Exp. & Prod. Bear 2X Shares, each a series of the ETF Trust. The Agreement is initially approved for a two-year period and must be renewed yearly thereafter to remain in effect. Each series of the ETF Trust is referred to herein as a "Fund" and collectively as the "Funds."

At a meeting held on August 18, 2021, the Board, including the trustees who are not "interested persons" of the ETF Trust as defined in the 1940 Act (the "Independent Trustees"), unanimously approved the renewal of the Agreement, on behalf of the Funds. The Independent Trustees had previously considered information pertaining to the renewal of the Agreement outside the presence of the Adviser's representatives and Fund management in executive sessions held on August 4, 2021 and August 18, 2021.

In considering whether to renew the Agreement, the Board requested, and the Adviser provided, information that the Board and Adviser believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the Agreement. Among other information, the Board obtained and reviewed the following:

•  Detailed information regarding the advisory services provided by the Adviser to the Funds;

•  The investment objectives of the Funds, which require daily rebalancing and the utilization of complex financial instruments that are not typical of traditional index tracking exchange-traded funds;

•  The level of attention required by the Adviser due to the frequent and large trading activity in the Funds;

•  The Adviser's Form ADV;

•  Information about the professional qualifications of those employees primarily responsible for providing services to the Funds;

•  Information regarding each component of the contractual advisory fee rates for the prior fiscal year;

•  Information regarding advisory fees earned and waivers made by the Adviser in connection with providing services to the Funds for the prior fiscal year or since inception, if shorter;

•  Information regarding fees paid to the Adviser under, and an evaluation of the services provided per the Management Services Agreement for the prior fiscal year;

•  Performance information;

•  Comparative industry fee data, including peer group comparisons;

•  Information regarding the consolidated financial condition of the Adviser and the profitability of the Adviser; and

•  Information regarding how the Adviser monitors the Funds' compliance with regulatory requirements and ETF Trust procedures.

The Board considered that, with respect to most Funds, they had also received information relevant to their annual review of the Agreement since the Fund's inception and, most recently, throughout the past year at regular Board meetings in connection with their oversight of the Funds, including information bearing on the Funds' service provider arrangements and performance results. In addition, the Board received a memorandum from counsel regarding its responsibilities with respect to the approval of the Agreement and participated in a question and answer session with representatives of the Adviser. The Board carefully evaluated the relevant information and the Independent Trustees were advised by legal counsel with respect to their deliberations.

Direxion Shares ETF Trust

Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)

The Board did not identify any particular information that was most relevant to its consideration to approve the Agreement and each Trustee may have afforded different weight or importance to different factors. For each Fund, the Board considered, among others, the following factors to the extent applicable: (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided; (2) the investment performance; (3) the profitability of the Fund and the advisory business to the Adviser; (4) the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of the Fund's shareholders; (5) comparisons of services and fees with contracts entered into by the Adviser with other clients (such as institutional investors), if any; and (6) other benefits derived or anticipated to be derived and identified by the Adviser from its relationship with the Fund.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided.  The Board reviewed, among other matters, the Adviser's business, assets under management, financial resources and capitalization, quality and quantity of personnel, experience, the variety and complexity of its investment strategies, brokerage practices, and the adequacy of its compliance systems and processes. The Board reviewed the scope of services provided, and to be provided by the Adviser, under the Agreement and noted there would be no significant differences between the scope of services provided by the Adviser in the past year and those to be provided in the upcoming year. The Board considered the Adviser's representation to the Board that it would continue to provide investment and related services that are of materially the same quality as the services that have been provided to the Funds in the past and whether those services remain appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Funds' operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs.

The Board focused on the quality of the Adviser's personnel and operations and the systems and processes required to manage the Funds effectively, and noted that such personnel, systems and processes may not be present at other investment advisers. The Board considered, as applicable: (1) the Adviser's success in achieving each Fund's daily leveraged investment objective or daily inverse leveraged investment objective; (2) differences between managing leveraged and non-leveraged portfolios, which include developing index optimization and representative sampling investment strategies as well as specialized skills for trading complex financial instruments; (3) information regarding the Adviser's management of derivatives trading activities on behalf of the Funds, including the selection of swap counterparties and the negotiation of favorable derivatives contract terms; (4) the Adviser's ability to manage the Funds in a tax efficient manner, which is more challenging for leveraged than non-leveraged funds; and (5) the size, professional experience and skills of the Adviser's portfolio management staff and the Adviser's ability to recruit, train, and retain personnel with the relevant experience and expertise necessary to manage the Funds. The Board considered that the Adviser oversees all aspects of the operation of the Funds, including oversight of the Funds' service providers, and provides compliance services to the Funds.

Comparison of Advisory Services and Fees.  The Board considered the fairness and reasonableness of the investment advisory fee rate payable to the Adviser by each Fund in light of the investment advisory services provided by the Adviser. In this regard, the Board also considered the ability of investors to achieve independently the investment objective of the Funds and the costs to investors of seeking to do so by utilizing a margin account or other means. The Board concluded that it would be difficult for an investor to implement independently any Fund's investment strategy and that attempting to do so would likely be cost-prohibitive. From this perspective, the Board noted the cost effectiveness for investors of employing the Funds to achieve certain investment objectives.

The Board further considered the fairness and reasonableness of the investment advisory fee rate payable to the Adviser by each Fund in light of fee rates paid by other investment companies offering strategies similar in nature to the Funds. In this regard, the Board reviewed information prepared by the Adviser, using data provided by Morningstar, Inc., to compare the Funds' actual advisory fee rates, and gross and net total expenses with those of other funds with common key characteristics, such as asset size, investment objective or industry focus ("Peer Group"). The Board noted the difficulty in compiling a broad and diverse Peer Group because, by design, each Fund is unique and, therefore, few (if any) fund complexes have funds with substantially similar investment objectives and operations. They noted that an independent consultant in 2019 had advised the Board on the Peer Group selection methodology and that the methodology employed in 2021 was consistent with that suggested by the independent consultant.

The Board noted that the comparison reports included the contractual advisory fee and net and gross total expense ratios for each Fund and each Peer Group fund. The Board considered that the Adviser had agreed to limit the total expenses of the Funds (subject to certain exclusions) for the next year by contractually agreeing to pay certain expenses of the Funds under a separate Operating Expense Limitation Agreement.

Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)

Performance of the Funds.  The Board focused on the correlation of each Fund's return to the model performance return for the periods ending June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 or since inception if a Fund did not have two full years of operations. In this regard, the Board considered each Fund's daily returns versus model returns ("Tracking Difference"), the standard deviation of the Tracking Differences, and a tracking error analysis provided by the Adviser. The Board also reviewed the total return of each Fund for the one-year or, if shorter, since inception period ended June 30, 2021. The Board considered reports provided to it in anticipation of the meeting, as well as performance reports provided at regular Board meetings throughout the year. The Board noted that the correlation of returns for each Fund to its model performance was generally within reasonable ranges during the reviewed periods. The Board considered that, given the investment objectives of the Funds, the correlation of each such Fund's performance with the model performance and Tracking Error were more meaningful indicia of the quality of the Advisor's management than a Fund's total return.

Costs of Services Provided to the Funds and Profits Realized by the Adviser.  The Board reviewed information regarding the profitability of the Adviser based on the fee rates payable under the Agreement. The Board considered the profitability of each Fund and the overall profitability of the Adviser, as reflected in the Adviser's profitability analysis, as well as information provided by the Adviser concerning the methodology used to allocate various expenses. The Board also considered the significant drivers of cost for the Adviser including, but not limited to, intellectual capital, the dedication of personnel resources to daily portfolio management activities (including rebalancing of the Funds), regulatory compliance, and entrepreneurial risk. The Board further considered a report on other investment advisers' profitability, which was compiled using publicly available information. The Board recognized that it is difficult to compare profitability among investment advisory firms because certain information is not publicly available. Further, to the extent such information is available, the Board acknowledged that it is affected by numerous factors, including the nature of a firm's fund shareholder base, the structure of the adviser and its tax status, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, assumptions regarding allocations and the reporting of operating profits and net income net (rather than gross) of distribution and marketing expenses.

Economies of Scale.  The Board considered the current breakpoints included in the Advisory Fee Waiver Agreement, which provide for reduced advisory fee rates for certain Funds when the assets of such Funds reach certain levels. The Board also considered the Adviser's explanation as to why these breakpoints appropriately reflect the Funds' economies of scale. In considering the asset levels of the Funds that have no breakpoints in the Advisory Fee Waiver Agreement with the Adviser, the Board considered the fact that the size of these Funds often increases and decreases significantly, making economies of scale elusive.

Other Benefits.  The Board considered indirect and "fall-out" benefits that the Adviser or its affiliates may derive from their relationship to the Funds. Such benefits include the Adviser's ability to leverage its investment management personnel or infrastructure to manage other accounts. In this regard, the Board noted that the Funds pay a management services fee to the Adviser.

Conclusion.  Based on, but not limited to, the above considerations and determinations, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined that the Agreement for the Funds was fair and reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services to be performed, the fee rates to be paid, the Adviser's expenses and such other matters as the Board considered relevant in the exercise of its business judgment. Accordingly, the Board concluded that the continuation of the Agreement was in the best interests of the shareholders of the Funds. On this basis, the Board unanimously voted in favor of the renewal of the Agreement.

Board Review of Liquidity Risk Management Program (Unaudited)

Consistent with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Liquidity Rule"), the Direxion Shares ETF Trust (the "Trust"), on behalf of each series of the Trust (the "Funds"), established a liquidity risk management program (the "Liquidity Program") to assess and manage each Fund's liquidity risk, which is the risk that a Fund is unable to meet investor redemption requests without significantly diluting the remaining investors' interests in the Fund.

At its November 19, 2021 meeting, the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Trust reviewed the Liquidity Program. The Board has appointed Rafferty Asset Management, LLC, the investment advisor to the Funds, as the Liquidity Program administrator. At the meeting, Rafferty Asset Management, LLC provided the Board with a written report that addressed the operation of the Funds' Liquidity Program and assessed the adequacy and effectiveness of the implementation of the Liquidity Program (the "Report"). The Report covered the period from November 1, 2020 through October 31, 2021 (the "Report Period"). The Report noted the following:

•  The Liquidity Program supported each Fund's ability to meet redemption requests timely;

•  The Liquidity Program supported Rafferty Asset Management, LLC's management of each Fund's liquidity, including during periods of market volatility and net redemptions;

•  No material liquidity issues were identified during the report period;

•  There were no material changes to the Liquidity Program during the report period; and

•  The Liquidity Program operated adequately during the report period.

The Report also described the Liquidity Program's liquidity classification methodology for categorizing a Fund's investment (including derivative transactions) into one of four liquidity buckets as required by the Liquidity Rule. The Report stated that the Liquidity Program is operating as intended and is effective in implementing the requirements of the Liquidity Rule.

There can be no assurance that the Liquidity Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to your Fund's prospectus for more information regarding the Fund's exposure to liquidity risk and other risks.

Letter to Shareholders (Unaudited)

Dear Shareholders,

This Annual Report for the Direxion Shares exchange traded funds (the "ETFs") covers the period from November 1, 2020 to October 31, 2021 (the "Annual Period").

Market Review:

Worsening COVID-19 case counts in the US, on the heels of a resurgence of the virus in Europe, bore fears of a second wave, all while hopes of a vaccine began to materialize to start the Annual Period. As a result, equity markets ended down for October. The election of Joseph Biden, as President of the United States, generated sharp returns for domestic equity markets in November, which was in stark contrast to what was widely expected if a Democrat were to win the race. A pledge of essentially unlimited monetary support from the Federal Reserve, coupled with stimulus for families and small businesses, served as necessary bolster to an economy reeling from the pandemic. Hopes of an effective vaccine began to emerge in November as well. Emerging markets performed well during the fourth quarter of 2020, largely on the back of U.S. dollar weakness. Equities were mixed amid higher volatility in January, on slower than expected vaccine rollout, frenzied retail trading and further stimulus expectations. Rising bond yields in February became a signal the economy was on the mend. On balance with dovish statements from the Federal Reserve, yields abated somewhat into the end of February as the global economy attempted to navigate the road to a post-COVID economy. Optimism took hold in March of 2021 as promises of a $1.9 trillion fiscal stimulus package, along with a $2 trillion infrastructure package, bolstered hopes for an economic recovery. Spring saw the re-opening trade, as COVID-19 vaccine rollout began to see broad traction, allowing an uptick in economic activity while also bringing inflation data into the broader discussion as the consumer price index rose from 3% to 3.8%. July saw added volatility in equity markets relating to the Delta variant of COVID-19, a more transmissible variant, along with concerns of a moderating economic recovery and tightening regulatory scrutiny in China on its tech sector, which hit emerging markets particularly hard. Despite the headwinds, the S&P 500 continued to post gains through summer on a strong second quarter 2021 earnings season. In August, dovish tones from Federal Reserve Chairman, Jerome Powell, regarding the pace and timing of tapering were enough to offset concerns of inflation running too hot in the near term, and that the COVID-19 Delta variant could potentially derail the ongoing economic recovery. Equities pulled back in September amid concerns that rising inflation would eat into growth, along with a statement from the Federal Reserve that it would announce a plan for tapering its asset purchases at its November meeting. Profit margins and the supply chain were the themes for Q3 earnings. The consumer discretionary sector was the big winner for October, as a broad swathe of companies were able to navigate supply-chain issues while, also maintaining margins that were under threat of being eaten away by rising inflation.

The Federal Reserve continued to keep the federal funds rate at the low range of .00 – .25bps, and pledged to continue through 2023, in hopes fiscal stimulus plans and the development and deployment of vaccines will encourage economic growth. At the end of the Annual Period, 67% of the US population has received at least one dose of a vaccine. The continued low benchmark set by the Federal Reserve, put in place in March of 2019, has increased expectations of inflation. This caused CPI to increase 6.2% through the end of the Annual Period, to a CPI of 276.724, marking the highest rate of inflation in years. This, in turn, drove bond prices lower, and yields even higher. The 2 to 10 year yield curve, which is an indication that short term yields have dropped more than long term yields, increased from .71% to 1.07%. For the Annual Period, the 10 year treasury yield finished at 1.55%, as the market rallied back from pandemic lows.

Direxion Shares Operational Review:

The discussion below relates to the performance of the ETFs for the Annual Period. The ETFs are leveraged and seek daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 300% or -300% of the performance of a particular benchmark. All ETF returns are NAV (net asset value) returns.

The ETFs, as stated above, seek daily investment results. They do not seek to track a multiple of their respective benchmarks for periods of longer than one day and the performance of the ETFs over longer periods may not correlate to their benchmarks' performance. The ETFs should not be held by investors for long periods and should be used as short-term trading vehicles. These products are not suitable for all investors, and should be utilized only by sophisticated investors who

DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT

understand the risks associated with the use of leverage, the consequences of seeking daily leveraged investment results and intend to actively monitor and manage their investments.

The ETFs with the word "Bull" in their name (the "Bull ETFs") attempt to provide investment results that correlate to 300% of the return of a benchmark index, meaning the Bull Funds attempt to move in the same direction as their respective target benchmark index.

The Funds with the word "Bear" in their name (the "Bear ETFs") attempt to provide investment results that correlate to -300% of the return of a benchmark index, meaning that the Bear Funds attempt to move in the opposite, or inverse, direction of their respective target benchmark index.

In seeking to achieve each ETF's daily investment results, Rafferty Asset Management, LLC ("Rafferty" or the "Adviser") relies upon a pre-determined investment model to generate orders resulting in repositioning each ETF's investments in accordance with its daily investment objective. Using this approach, Rafferty determines the type, quantity and mix of investment positions that it believes in combination should produce daily returns consistent with an ETF's objective. As a consequence, if an ETF is performing as designed, the return of the benchmark index will dictate the return for that ETF. Each ETF pursues its investment objective regardless of market conditions and does not take defensive positions.

Each ETF has a clearly articulated goal which requires the ETF to seek economic exposure significantly in excess of its net assets. To meet its objectives, each ETF invests in some combination of financial instruments, including derivatives. Each ETF invests significantly in derivatives, including swap agreements. Rafferty uses these types of investments to produce economically "leveraged" investment results. Leveraging allows Rafferty to generate a greater positive or negative return than what would be generated on the invested capital without leverage, thus changing small market movements into larger changes in the value of the investments of an ETF.

The ETFs may use certain investment techniques, including investments in derivatives, which may be considered aggressive. Investments in derivatives in general are subject to market risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate dramatically over time. Additionally, use of such instruments may increase the volatility of the ETFs. The use of derivatives may expose the ETFs to additional risks that they would not be subject to if they invested directly in the securities underlying those derivatives, such as counterparty risk. The use of derivatives may result in larger losses or smaller gains than otherwise would be the case.

Because each ETF seeks daily investment results of its relevant benchmark, a comparison of the return of the ETF to the relevant benchmark tells you little about whether an ETF has met its investment objective. To determine if an ETF has met its daily investment goals, Rafferty maintains models which indicate the expected performance of each ETF as compared to the underlying relevant index. The models do not take into account the ETF's expense ratio or any transaction or trading fees associated with creating or maintaining an ETF's portfolio.

Factors Affecting Direxion Shares Performance:

Benchmark Performance – The daily performance of each ETF's benchmark index, and the factors and market conditions implicitly affecting that index, are the primary factors driving ETF performance. Given the daily goals, the series of daily index returns are most important. The market conditions that affected the benchmark indexes during the past year are described below.

Leverage – Each ETF seeks daily investment results (before fees and expenses) of either 300% (for the Bull ETFs) or -300% (for the Bear ETFs) of the performance of its respective underlying index. The use of leverage magnifies an ETF's gains or losses and increases the investment's risk and volatility. The Bear ETFs seek to achieve inverse magnified correlation to their respective underlying indexes.

Volatility and Compounding – The goal of leveraged ETFs is to provide a multiple of the daily return of an underlying index. Over periods longer than a single day, an ETF should not be expected to provide its respective multiple of the return of the underlying index. Due to the effects of compounding, a universal mathematical concept that applies to all investments, returns of the ETFs over longer periods are greater or less than the ETF's daily stated goal. Periods of high volatility that lack a clear trend hurt an ETF's performance while trending, low volatility markets enhance an ETF's performance.

DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT

Cost of Financing – In order to attain leveraged exposure, a Bull ETF incurs a cost of LIBOR plus or minus a spread and a Bear ETF receives LIBOR plus or minus a spread as applied to the borrowed portion of the ETF's exposure. The spread varies by both Fund and counterparty and is a function of market demand, hedging costs, access to balance sheet, borrow volatility, current counterparty exposure and administrative costs associated with the swap counterparty. Generally for most of the Bull ETFs, the financing costs will have a negative effect on tracking, but for Bear ETFs, the financing cost will have a positive effect on tracking. An increase in interest rates which effects the cost of financing will further impact an ETF's performance and ability to track its index.

Optimized Baskets – Each Bull ETF holds a basket of equities designed to provide returns that track its underlying index. In order to decrease transaction costs, certain Bull ETFs hold only a representative sample, or optimized basket, that tracks closely over time, but deviates from its underlying index in the short-term.

Equity Dividends and Bond Interest – Equity Bull ETFs are positively impacted by equity and index dividends as the ETFs receive those payments. Equity Bear ETFs are negatively impacted as they are obligated to pay the dividends. Treasury Bull ETFs receive interest, accrued on a daily basis, to account for the Treasury's semi-annual coupon payments while the Treasury Bear ETFs pay interest, accrued on a daily basis.

Fees, Expenses, and Transaction Costs – Fees and expenses are listed in each ETF's prospectus and may be higher than many traditional index ETFs' fees, which cause a greater negative impact on ETF performance. Transactions costs are not included in the expense ratio of the ETFs. Transaction costs can be higher due to the ETF's use of leverage, frequent creation and redemption activity, or trading securities that are comparatively less liquid.

Direxion Shares Performance Review:

The Direxion Daily Mid Cap Bull 3X Shares seeks to provide 300% of the daily return of the S&P Mid Cap 400® Index.

For the Annual Period, the S&P Mid Cap 400® Index returned 48.90%. Given the daily investment objectives of the ETFs and the path dependency of returns for longer periods, the annual return of the index alone should not generate expectations of annual performance of the ETFs. The Direxion Daily Mid Cap Bull 3X Shares returned 193.19%, while the model indicated an expected return of 199.94%. Deviation from the model may be due to a combination of asset fluctuation, expenses, transaction costs, including swap contract related costs and underlying index volatility.

Index Volatility:

After the initial onslaught of the equity sell off during the height of the pandemic, the CBOE Volatility Index reached a low point in October 2021, trading around 15, which was a remarkable improvement from the index peak that touched 37 in late January 2021. The decline was a result of the decreasing case counts, an increase in vaccinations, and the passing of

the initial uncertainty in the equity market. However, upon entering the Annual Period, the volatility spiked and the downward trend was due to the failure to agree on an economic aid package before the November 3rd election by lawmakers. Volatility spiked once again in mid-February, following the tech sector's rout due to the fear of rising 10 year rates. The tech and work from home thematic names, which were some of the best performing stocks during the pandemic in the prior year, were hit the hardest by the uptick in the interest rates. The rates have since stabilized through the summer, but continued to decrease through Period end. This further emphasized inflation fears. Even though the CBOE Volatility Index finished the period at 16.53, volatility is slated to remain tied to geopolitical risk, as the U.S. and world leaders continue to adjust to the pandemic and inflation fears.

An investor should carefully consider a Fund's investment objective, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. A Fund's prospectus and summary prospectus contain this and other information about the Direxion Shares. To obtain a Fund's prospectus and summary prospectus call 866-476-7523 or visit our website at direxion.com. A Fund's prospectus and summary prospectus should be read carefully before investing.

Investing in a Direxion Shares ETF may be more volatile than investing in broadly diversified funds. The use of leverage by an ETF increases the risk to the ETF. The Direxion Shares ETFs are not suitable for all investors and should be utilized only by sophisticated investors who understand leverage risk, consequences of seeking daily leveraged, or daily inverse leveraged, investment results and intend to actively monitor and manage their investment. The Direxion Shares ETFs are not designed to track their respective underlying indices over a period of time longer than one day.

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 under one year are cumulative, not annualized. For the most recent month-end performance please visit the Funds website at direxion.com.

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. Because of ongoing market volatility, fund performance may be subject to substantial short-term changes. For additional information, see the Fund's prospectus.

Shares of the Direxion Shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from a Fund. Market Price returns are based upon the midpoint of the bid/ask spread at 4:00 pm EST (when NAV is normally calculated) and do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Fund returns assume that dividends and capital gains distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV. Some performance results reflect expense reimbursements or recoupments and fee waivers in effect during certain periods shown. Absent these reimbursements or recoupments and fee waivers, results would have been less favorable.

LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) is the average interest rate estimated by leading banks in London that they would be charged if borrowing from other banks. REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust).

Direxion Shares Risks – An investment in the ETFs involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. The ETFs are non-diversified and include risks associated with concentration risk that results from the ETFs' investments in a particular industry or sector which can increase volatility. The use of derivatives such as futures contracts, forward contracts, options and swaps are subject to market risks that may cause their price to fluctuate over time. The ETF does not attempt to, and should not be expected to; provide returns which are a multiple of the return of the Index for periods other than a single day. For other risks including correlation, leverage, compounding, market volatility and specific risks regarding each sector, please read the prospectus.

The views of this letter were those of the Adviser as of October 31, 2021 and may not necessarily reflect his views on the date this letter is first published or anytime thereafter. These views are intended to help shareholders in understanding the ETFs' present investment methodology and do not constitute investment advice.

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 under one year are cumulative, not annualized. As stated in the current prospectus, the Fund's total annual operating expense ratio (gross) is 1.09%. Rafferty Asset Management, LLC has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse the Fund for other expenses through September 1, 2023 to the extent the Total Annual Operating Expenses exceed 0.95% (excluding, as applicable, among other expenses, taxes, swap financing and related costs, acquired fund fees and expenses, dividends or interest on short positions, other interest expenses, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses). The performance table and graph do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. For the Fund's most recent month end performance please visit www.direxion.com.

A fund that meets its daily target over a period of time will not necessarily produce the returns that might be expected in light of the returns of its index or benchmark for that period. Differences may result from the compounding effect of market fluctuation and the use of leverage. The pursuit of daily goals may result in daily, leveraged compounding, which means that the return of an index over a period of time greater than one day multiplied by a fund's specified multiple (300%) will not generally equal a fund's performance over that same period.

This chart illustrates the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment made on the Fund's inception and is not intended to imply any future performance. Shares of Direxion Shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Performance reflects reinvestment of all dividend and capital gains distributions. During this period, some of the Fund's fees were waived and/or expenses reimbursed; otherwise, the Fund's performance would have been lower.

The S&P Mid Cap® 400 Index measures the performance of the mid-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe. The index is a capitalization-weighted index composed of 400 domestic common stocks.

Investors cannot invest directly in an index, although they can invest in its underlying securities.

Market Exposure

The Fund seeks daily exposure of 300% of its NAV through a combination of equities and derivatives. "Market Exposure" includes the value of total investments (including the contract value of any derivatives) and excludes any short-term investments and cash equivalents divided by Net Assets.

Rafferty Asset Management, LLC has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse the Fund for other expenses through September 1, 2023 to the extent the Total Annual Operating Expenses exceed 0.95% (excluding, as applicable, among other expenses, taxes, swap financing and related costs, acquired fund fees and expenses, dividends or interest on short positions, other interest expenses, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses).

A fund that meets its daily target over a period of time will not necessarily produce the returns that might be expected in light of the returns of its index or benchmark for that period. Differences may result from the compounding effect of market fluctuation, the use of leverage and a Bear Fund's inverse correlation. The pursuit of daily goals may result in daily, leveraged compounding, which means that the return of an index over a period of time greater than one day multiplied by a fund's specified inverse multiple (-300%) will not generally equal a fund's performance over that same period.

This chart illustrates the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment made on the Fund's inception and is not intended to imply any future performance. Shares of Direxion Shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Performance reflects reinvestment of all dividend and capital gains distributions. During this period, some of the Fund's fees were waived and/or expenses reimbursed; otherwise, the Fund's performance would have been lower.

The performance of the S&P 500® Index does not reflect the deduction of fees associated with the Fund, such as investment management fees. Investors cannot invest directly in an index, although they can invest in its underlying securities.

The pursuit of daily goals may result in daily, leveraged compounding, which means that the return of an index over a period of time greater than one day multiplied by a fund's specified multiple (300%) will not generally equal a fund's performance over that same period.

This chart illustrates the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment made on the Fund's inception and is not intended to imply any future performance. Shares of Direxion Shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Performance reflects reinvestment of all dividend and capital gains distributions. During this period, some of the Fund's fees were waived and/or expenses reimbursed; otherwise, the Fund's performance would have been lower.

The MSCI Mexico IMI 25/50 Index is designed to measure the performance of the large, mid, and small capitalization segments of the Mexican equity market, covering approximately 99% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization in Mexico.

A fund that meets its daily target over a period of time will not necessarily produce the returns that might be expected in light of the returns of its index or benchmark for that period. Differences may result from the compounding effect of market fluctuation and the use of leverage. The pursuit of daily goals may result in daily, leveraged compounding, which means that the return of an index over a period of time greater than one day multiplied by a fund's specified multiple (300%) will not generally equal a fund's performance over that same period.

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 under one year are cumulative, not annualized. As stated in the current prospectus, the Fund's total annual operating expense ratio (gross) is 1.03%. Rafferty Asset Management, LLC has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse the Fund for other expenses through September 1, 2023 to the extent the Total Annual Operating Expenses exceed 0.95% (excluding, as applicable, among other expenses, taxes, swap financing and related costs, acquired fund fees and expenses, dividends or interest on short positions, other interest expenses, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses). The performance table and graph do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. For the Fund's most recent month end performance please visit www.direxion.com.

A fund that meets its daily target over a period of time will not necessarily produce the returns that might be expected in light of the returns of its index or benchmark for that period. Differences may result from the compounding effect of market fluctuation and the use of leverage. The pursuit of daily goals may result in daily, leveraged compounding, which means that the return of an index over a period of time greater than one day multiplied by a fund's specified multiple (300%) will not generally equal a fund's performance over that same period.

This chart illustrates the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment made on the Fund's inception and is not intended to imply any future performance. Shares of Direxion Shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Performance reflects reinvestment of all dividend and capital gains distributions. During this period, some of the Fund's fees were waived and/or expenses reimbursed; otherwise, the Fund's performance would have been lower.

The S&P Biotechnology Select Industry Index is provided by Standard & Poor's and includes domestic companies from the biotechnology industry.

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 under one year are cumulative, not annualized. As stated in the current prospectus, the Fund's total annual operating expense ratio (gross) is 1.25%. Rafferty Asset Management, LLC has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse the Fund for other expenses through September 1, 2023 to the extent the Total Annual Operating Expenses exceed 0.95% (excluding, as applicable, among other expenses, taxes, swap financing and related costs, acquired fund fees and expenses, dividends or interest on short positions, other interest expenses, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses). The performance table and graph do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. For the Fund's most recent month end performance please visit www.direxion.com.

A fund that meets its daily target over a period of time will not necessarily produce the returns that might be expected in light of the returns of its index or benchmark for that period. Differences may result from the compounding effect of market fluctuation and the use of leverage. The pursuit of daily goals may result in daily, leveraged compounding, which means that the return of an index over a period of time greater than one day multiplied by a fund's specified multiple (300%) will not generally equal a fund's performance over that same period.

This chart illustrates the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment made on the Fund's inception and is not intended to imply any future performance. Shares of Direxion Shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Performance reflects reinvestment of all dividend and capital gains distributions. During this period, some of the Fund's fees were waived and/or expenses reimbursed; otherwise, the Fund's performance would have been lower.

The ICE U.S. Treasury 7-10 Year Bond Index is a market value weighted index that includes publicly issued U.S. Treasury securities that have a remaining maturity of greater than seven years and less than or equal to ten years. The performance of the ICE U.S. Treasury 7-10 Year Bond Index does not reflect the deduction of fees associated with the Fund, such as investment management fees. Investors cannot invest directly in an index, although they can invest in its underlying securities.

Market Exposure

The Fund seeks daily exposure of 300% of its NAV through a combination of equities and derivatives. "Market Exposure" includes the value of total investments (including the contract value of any derivatives) and excludes any short-term investments and cash equivalents divided by Net Assets.

A fund that meets its daily target over a period of time will not necessarily produce the returns that might be expected in light of the returns of its index or benchmark for that period. Differences may result from the compounding effect of market fluctuation, the use of leverage and a Bear Fund's inverse correlation. The pursuit of daily goals may result in daily, leveraged compounding, which means that the return of an index over a period of time greater than one day multiplied by a fund's specified inverse multiple (-300%) will not generally equal a fund's performance over that same period.

Expense Example (Unaudited)

October 31, 2021

As a shareholder of the Direxion Shares ETF Trust, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, for purchasing and selling shares and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on initial investments of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held the entire period (May 1, 2021 to October 31, 2021).

Actual Expenses

The first line under each Fund in the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for your Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period May 1, 2021 to October 31, 2021" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the following table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Fund shares. Therefore, the second line under each Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing Fund costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").

a) Investment Valuation – The Net Asset Value ("NAV") per share of each Fund is determined daily, as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") (normally at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time), each day the NYSE is open for business. On days that the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association ("SIFMA") recommends that the bond markets close all day, Direxion Daily 7-10 Year Treasury Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily 7-10 Year Treasury Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily 20+ Year Treasury Bull 3X Shares and Direxion Daily 20+ Year Treasury Bear 3X Shares (the "Fixed Income Funds") do not calculate their NAVs, even if the NYSE is open for business. Similarly, on days that SIFMA recommends that the bond markets close early, each of the Fixed Income Funds calculate its NAV as of the time of the recommended close, usually 2:00 p.m. Eastern time, rather than the close of regular trading on the NYSE. A security listed or traded on an exchange, domestic or foreign, is valued at its last sales price on the principal exchange on which it is traded prior to the time when assets are valued. If no sale is reported at that time, the mean of the last bid and asked prices is used. Securities primarily traded on the NASDAQ® Global Market ("NASDAQ") for which market quotations are readily available are valued using the NASDAQ® Official Closing Price ("NOCP") provided by NASDAQ each business day. Over the Counter ("OTC") securities held by a Fund will be valued at the last sales price or, if no sales price is reported, the mean of the last bid and asked price is used. The portfolio securities of a Fund that are listed on national exchanges are valued at the last sales price of such securities; if no sales price is reported, the mean of the last bid and asked price is used. Swap contracts are valued using the closing price of the underlying reference entity or the closing value of the underlying reference index. The Funds valued their investments in money market funds based on their daily net asset values. Futures contracts are valued at settlement price established on the exchange on which they are traded, if that settlement price reflects trading prior to the Valuation Time. If the settlement price established by the exchange reflects trading after the Valuation Time, then the last sales price prior to Valuation time will be used. Securities, swap or future contracts are fair valued as determined by the Adviser under the supervision of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") in the following scenarios: a) reliable market quotations are not readily available; b) the Funds' pricing service does not provide a valuation for such securities; c) the Funds' pricing service provides valuation that in the judgment of the Adviser does not represent fair value; or d) the Fund or Adviser believes the market price is stale.

b) Swap Contracts – Each Fund may enter into equity swap contacts. Standard equity swap contracts are between two parties that agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross amount to be exchanged is calculated with respect to a "notional amount" (i.e. the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a "basket" of securities representing a particular index or industry sector). Each Fund enters into master netting agreements with counterparties to mitigate counterparty credit risk in derivative contracts. A Fund does not offset fair value amounts for derivatives contracts and related cash collateral on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities arising from derivative contracts executed with the same counterparties under such master netting agreements. The Fund's obligations are accrued daily and offset by any amounts owed to the Fund.

In a "long" equity swap agreement, the counterparty will generally agree to pay the Fund the amount, if any, by which the notional amount of the swap contract would have increased in value if the Fund had been invested in the particular securities, plus dividends that would have been received on those securities. The Fund will agree to pay the counterparty a floating rate of interest (e.g., a LIBOR based rate) on the notional amount of the swap contract plus the amount, if any, by which the notional amount would have decreased in value had it been invested in such securities plus, in certain instances, commissions or trading spreads on the notional amounts. Thus, the return on the swap contract should be the gain or loss on the notional amount plus dividends on the securities less the interest and commission paid by the Fund on the notional amount. Payments may be made at the conclusion of the contract or periodically during its term. In certain instances, market factors such as the interest rate environment and the demand to borrow the securities underlying the swap agreement can cause a scenario in which the counterparty will pay the Fund interest. These swap contracts do not include the delivery of securities by the Funds to the counterparty. The net amount of the excess, if any, of the Fund's obligations owed over its entitlement with respect to each swap is accrued on a daily basis and an amount of cash or liquid assets having an aggregate net asset value at least equal to such accrued excess is maintained in a segregated account by the Fund's custodian. Until a swap contract is settled in cash, the gain or loss on the notional amount plus dividends on the securities less the interest paid by the Fund on the notional amount are recorded as "unrealized gains or losses on swaps" and when cash is exchanged, the gain or loss is recorded as "realized gains or losses on swaps."

DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT

Each Fund may enter into swap contracts that provide the opposite return of the underlying benchmark or security ("short" the index or security). The operations are similar to that of the swaps disclosed above except that the counterparty pays interest to the Fund on the notional amount outstanding and the dividends on the underlying securities reduce the return of the swap. However, in certain instances, market factors such as the interest rate environment and the demand to borrow the securities underlying the swap agreement can cause a scenario in which the Fund will pay the counterparty interest. These amounts are netted with any unrealized appreciation or depreciation to determine the value of the swap. The Funds will typically enter into equity swap agreements to obtain leverage in order to meet their objectives.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-01 "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" ("ASU 2013-01"), requires entities to disclose (i) gross and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the financial statements, and (ii) instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting agreement. ASU 2013-01 is limited in scope to recognized derivative instruments accounted for under ASC 815 "Derivatives and Hedging", to the extent they are offset in the financial statements or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help a Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, a Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement ("ISDA Master Agreement") or similar agreement with its counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between a Fund and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives, including swap contracts, and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms, netting and rights of set-off provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, a Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments' payables and receivables to create a single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of a default (close-out netting) or similar event, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty.

Collateral requirements generally differ by type of derivative. Collateral terms are contract-specific for OTC derivatives (e.g. swaps). Generally, for transactions traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are calculated by netting the marked-to-market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by a Fund and the counterparty. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to the counterparty must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold before a transfer is required to be made. To the extent amounts due to a Fund from its derivative counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance.

For financial reporting purposes, the Funds elect to not offset assets and liabilities subject to an ISDA Master Agreement, if any, in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Therefore, all qualifying transactions are presented on a gross basis in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As of October 31, 2021, the impact of netting of assets and liabilities and the offsetting of collateral pledged or received based on contractual netting/set-off provisions in the ISDA Master Agreement are detailed in the following tables.

In the event of the counterparty's default, bankruptcy or any other event for which the counterparty cannot meet its obligations, a Fund bears the risk of loss equal to the amount of the daily appreciation owed to the Fund. This obligation represents the daily gain accrued to the Fund from the close of business day prior to this event to the day on which this event occurs and the counterparty can no longer meet its obligations. A Fund will enter into swap agreements only with large, well-capitalized and established financial institutions. The creditworthiness of each of the firms that is a party to a swap agreement is monitored by the Adviser. Shareholders may obtain swap counterparty financial statements at www.sec.gov. Swap contracts are subject to credit risk. Credit risk occurs when the financial condition of an issuer of a security or instrument may cause it to default or become unable to pay interest or principal due on the security. The counterparty to a swap contract might default on its obligations. In addition, the Funds have agreements with certain counterparties with which it trades swap contracts that contain credit risk-related contingent features that could be triggered subject to certain circumstances. Such circumstances include agreed upon net asset value and performance-based thresholds. The maximum exposure to the Funds in regard to potential counterparty default and credit-risk related contingent features at October 31, 2021 is detailed in the following tables. If such credit risk-related contingencies were triggered, the counterparties would have the option to terminate any positions open under the master netting agreement.

1  The amount of collateral shown has been limited such that the net amount cannot be less than zero.

2  The amount shown is the maximum credit exposure of the Fund for the corresponding counterparty.

c) Futures Contracts – Each Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts. A Fund may use futures contracts to gain exposure to, or hedge against, changes in the values of commodities, equities, interest rates or foreign currencies. Upon entering into a contract, the Fund deposits and maintains as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is effected. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as "variation margin" and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains and losses. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. As collateral for futures contracts, the Fund is required under the 1940 Act to maintain assets consisting of cash, cash equivalents or liquid securities. This collateral is required to be adjusted daily to reflect the market value of the purchase obligation for long futures contracts or the market value of the instrument underlying the contract, but not less than the market price at which the futures contract was established, for short futures contracts.

d) Risks of Futures Contracts, Options on Futures Contracts and Short Positions – The risks inherent in the use of options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts and short positions include 1) adverse changes in the fair value of such instruments; 2) imperfect correlation between the price of options and futures contracts and options thereon and movements in the price of the underlying securities, index or futures contracts; 3) the possible absence of a liquid secondary market for any particular instrument at any time; 4) the possible need to defer closing out certain positions to avoid adverse tax consequences; and 5) the possible non-performance by the counterparty under the terms of the contract. The Funds designate

DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT
183


cash, cash equivalents and liquid securities as collateral for written options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts and short positions. The Funds were not invested in any type of options during the period ended October 31, 2021.

e) Risks of Investing in Foreign Securities – Investments in foreign securities involve greater risks than investing in domestic securities. As a result, the Funds' returns and net asset values may be affected to a large degree by fluctuations in currency exchange rates, political, diplomatic or economic conditions and regulatory requirements in other countries. The laws, accounting and financial reporting standards in foreign countries may require less disclosure than required in the U.S., and therefore there may be less public information available about foreign companies. Investments in foreign emerging markets present a greater risk than investing in foreign issuers in general. The risk of political or social upheaval is greater in emerging markets. In addition, there may be risks of an economy's dependence on revenues from particular commodities, currency transfer restrictions, a limited number of potential buyers for such securities and delays and disruption in securities settlement procedures.

f) Security Transactions – Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. The Funds determine the gain or loss realized from the investment transactions by comparing the identified cost, which is the same basis used for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, with the net sales proceeds.

g) Securities Lending – The Funds may lend its investment securities to approved brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Fund collateral consisting of cash, an irrevocable letter of credit issued by an approved bank, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government. The collateral received by each Fund is required to have a value of at least 102% of the current value of the loaned securities. During the term of the loan, each Fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities but does not receive interest income on securities received as collateral. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.

As of October 31, 2021, all securities on loan were collateralized by cash and/or U.S. government obligations. The cash received as collateral for securities on loan was invested in money market funds, whose maturities are overnight and continuous, and is disclosed in the Schedules of Investments. The securities on loan in each Fund are also disclosed in the Schedule of Investments. The total value of securities loaned and the value of the invested cash collateral are disclosed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Non-cash collateral consists of U.S. Treasury securities and is not disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as its held by the lending agent on behalf of the Funds, and the Funds do not have the ability to sell, reinvest or pledge those securities. Income earned by the Funds from securities lending is disclosed in the Statements of Operations.

The risks of securities lending include the risk that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due. To mitigate these risks, the Funds are contractually indemnified with the securities lending agent. Furthermore, the Funds require the value of the securities loaned to be computed daily at the close of the market and additional collateral be furnished if required.

As of October 31, 2021, the market value of the securities loaned and the payable on collateral received for securities lending were as follows:

h) Federal Income Taxes – Each Fund intends to make the requisite distributions of income and capital gains to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company. Therefore, no provision for U.S. Federal income tax has been made by the Funds.

The Funds may be subject to a nondeductible 4% U.S. excise tax calculated as a percentage of certain undistributed amounts of net investment income and net capital gains. Certain Funds paid this excise tax during the period ended October 31, 2021, which is disclosed on the Statements of Operations.

i) Income and Expenses – Interest income, including amortization of premiums and discounts, is recognized on an accrual basis. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain Funds paid this excise tax during the period ended October 31, 2021, which is disclosed on the Statements of Operations.

The Funds are charged for those expenses that are directly attributable to each series, such as advisory fees and registration costs. Expenses that are not directly attributable to a series are generally allocated among the Trust's series in proportion to their respective average daily net assets.

j) Distributions to Shareholders – Each Fund pays dividends from net investment income and distributes net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with U.S. Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Certain Funds also utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemptions of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

k) Guarantees and Indemnifications – In the ordinary course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification provisions pursuant to which the Funds agree to indemnify third parties upon occurrence of specified events. The Funds' maximum exposure relating to these indemnification agreements is unknown. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses in connection with these provisions and believe the risk of loss is remote.

l) Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3.  INCOME TAX AND DISTRIBUTION INFORMATION

The tax character of distributions paid during the periods ended October 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020, are listed below.

The tax character of distributions to shareholders made during the periods may differ from their ultimate characterization for U.S. Federal income tax purposes.

GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the year ended October 31, 2021, the permanent differences primarily relate to tax treatment of redemptions in-kind, net operating losses and the utilization of earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares.

In order to meet certain U.S. excise tax distribution requirements, the Funds are required to measure and distribute annually net capital gains realized during a twelve month period ending October 31 and net investment income earned during a twelve month period ending December 31. In connection with this, the Funds are permitted for tax purposes to defer into their next fiscal year qualified late year losses. Qualified late ordinary losses are generally losses incurred between January 1 and the end of their fiscal year, October 31, 2021.

At October 31, 2021, the Funds deferred, on a tax basis, qualified late year losses of:

The Funds follow authoritative financial reporting rules regarding recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Funds have reviewed all open tax years and concluded that there is no effect to the Funds' financial positions or results of operations and no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During this period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. Open tax years are those years that are open for examination by the relevant income taxing authority. As of October 31, 2021, open U.S. Federal and state income tax years include the tax years ended October 31, 2018 through October 31, 2021. The Funds have no examination in progress. The Funds are also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax expense will significantly change in the next twelve months.

4.  CREATION AND REDEMPTION TRANSACTIONS AND TRANSACTION FEES

Each Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of shares called "Creation Units." A Creation Unit consists of 50,000 shares. Creation Units of the Bull Funds are issued and redeemed in cash and/or in-kind for securities included in the relevant underlying index. Creation Units of the Bear Funds are issued and redeemed for cash. Investors such as market makers, large investors and institutions who wish to deal in Creation Units directly with a Fund must have entered into an authorized participant agreement with the principal underwriter and the transfer agent, or purchase through a dealer that has entered into such an agreement. Transactions in shares for each Fund include both cash and in-kind transactions and are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

Transaction fees are imposed to cover the costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units. There is a fixed and a variable component to the total transaction fee. A fixed transaction fee is paid to the transfer agent and is applicable to each creation or redemption transaction, regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased or redeemed. In addition, a variable transaction fee equal to a percentage of the value of each Creation Unit purchased or redeemed is applicable to each creation or redemption transaction and is paid to the Fund. Not all Funds will have a transaction fee associated with capital share activity for the year. Transaction fees received by each Fund are presented in the Capital Share Transaction section of the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

Additionally, the Trust has entered into a Management Services Agreement with the Adviser. Under the Management Services Agreement, the Trust pays the Adviser management service fees of 0.026% on the first $10,000,000,000 of the Trust's daily net assets and 0.024% on assets in excess of $10,000,000,000. This fee compensates the Adviser for performing certain management, administration and compliance functions related to the Trust.

Each Fund is responsible for its own operating expenses. The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or reimburse each Fund's operating expenses to the extent that they exceed 0.95% of each Fund's respective average daily net assets at least until September 1, 2023. Any expense waiver is subject to recoupment by the Adviser, as applicable, within the following three years if overall expenses fall below these percentage limitations.

The table below presents amounts that the Adviser recouped, reimbursed and the amounts available for potential recoupment by the Adviser.

7.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Funds follow authoritative fair value accounting standards which establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion in changes of valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels below:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2 – Evaluated price based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar securities in inactive markets, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the credit risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds' net assets as of October 31, 2021:

The Funds also follow authoritative accounting standards, which require additional disclosure regarding fair value measurements. Specifically, these standards require reporting entities to disclose a) the input and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements, for Level 2 or Level 3 positions, b) transfers between all levels on a gross basis (i.e. transfers out must be disclosed separately from transfers in) as well as the reason(s) for the transfers and c) purchases and sales on a gross basis in the Level 3 rollforward rather than as one net number. Additionally, reporting entities are required to disclose quantitative information about unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

8.  VALUATION OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Funds follow authoritative standards of accounting for derivative instruments, which establish disclosure requirements for derivative instruments. These standards improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosures that enable investors to understand how and why a fund uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments are accounted for and how derivative instruments affect a fund's financial position and results of operations.

The Funds use derivative instruments as part of their principal investment strategy to achieve their investment objective. For additional discussion on the risks associated with derivative instruments refer to Note 2. As of October 31, 2021, the Funds were invested in swap contracts. At October 31, 2021, the fair value of derivative instruments, by primary risk, were as follows:

9.  PRINCIPAL RISKS

Below are some of the principal risks of investing in the Funds. Please refer to the Funds' prospectus for a full discussion.

Counterparty Risk – A Fund will be subject to credit risk with respect to the amount it expects to receive from counterparties to financial instruments entered into by the Fund. The Funds' counterparties are generally required to post collateral to the Funds to the extent of the Funds' daily exposure to such counterparties. However, to the extent any such collateral is insufficient, the Funds will be exposed to counterparty risk as described in this paragraph. In addition, there may be a delay associated with realization by the Funds of the collateral posted by such counterparties in the event of counterparty default or bankruptcy. A Fund may be negatively impacted if a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties. A Fund may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in a bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding, and a Fund may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances.

Sector Concentration Risk – The risk of concentrating investments in a limited number of issuers in a particular industry is that a Fund will be more susceptible to the risks associated with that industry than a Fund that does not concentrate its investments.

Daily Index Correlation/Tracking Risk – A number of factors may affect a Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with its benchmark, and there can be no guarantee that a Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation. A failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent a Fund from achieving its investment objective. A number of factors may adversely affect a Fund's correlation with its benchmark, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, costs associated with the use of leveraged investment techniques, income items, accounting standards, and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests. A Fund may not have investment exposure to all securities in its underlying benchmark index, or its weighting of investment exposure to such stocks or industries may be different from that of the index. In addition, a Fund may invest in securities or financial instruments not included in the index underlying its benchmark. A Fund may be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or under-exposed to its benchmark. Activities surrounding annual index reconstitutions and other index rebalancing or reconstitution events may hinder the Funds' ability to meet their daily investment objective on that day. Each Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio daily to keep leverage consistent with its daily investment objective.

Certain Funds are "leveraged" funds in the sense that they have investment objectives to match a multiple of the performance of an index on a given day. These Funds are subject to all of the correlation risks described above. In addition, there is a special form of correlation risk that derives from these Funds' use of leverage, which is that for periods greater than one day, the use of leverage tends to cause the performance of a Fund to be either greater than or less than the index performance times the stated multiple in the fund objective, before accounting for fees and fund expenses. In general, given a particular index return, increased volatility of the index will cause a decrease in the performance relative to the index performance times the stated fund multiple.

Derivatives Risk – The Fund's investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other investments, including risk related to the market, leverage, imperfect daily correlations with underlying investments or the Fund's other portfolio holdings, higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty risk, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions.

DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT
202


In addition, the Fund's investments in derivatives are subject to the following risks:

•  Swap Agreements. Swap agreements are entered into primarily with major global financial institutions for a specified period which may range from one day to more than one year. In a standard swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined reference assets or underlying securities or instruments. The gross return to be exchanged or swapped between the parties is calculated based on a notional amount or the return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a basket of securities representing a particular index or an ETF that seeks to track an index. Swaps are subject to counterparty, valuation and leveraging risks.

•  Futures Contracts. Futures contracts are typically exchange-traded contracts that call for the future delivery of an asset at a certain price and date, or cash settlement of the terms of the contract. There may be an imperfect correlation between the changes in market value of the securities held by the Fund and the prices of futures contracts. Futures contracts are subject to liquidity risks; there may not be a liquid secondary market for the futures contracts and the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction. Exchanges may also limit the number of positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Adviser, thus limiting the ability of the Fund to implement its leveraged investment strategy. Futures markets are highly volatile and the use of futures may increase the Fund's volatility. Futures contracts are also subject to leverage risk.

Foreign Securities Risk – Investments in foreign securities directly or indirectly through investments in exchange traded funds which track foreign securities involve greater risks than investing in domestic securities. As a result, the Funds' returns and net asset values may be affected to a large degree by fluctuations in currency exchange rates, political, diplomatic or economic conditions and regulatory requirements in other countries. The laws, accounting and financial reporting standards in foreign countries may require less disclosure than required in the U.S., and therefore there may be less public information available about foreign companies. Investments in foreign emerging markets present a greater risk than investing in foreign issuers in general. The risk of political or social upheaval is greater in emerging markets. In addition, there may be risks of an economy's dependence on revenues from particular commodities, currency transfer restrictions, a limited number of potential buyers for such securities and delays and disruption in securities settlement procedures.

Leverage Risk – Leverage offers a means of magnifying market movements into larger changes in an investment's value and provides greater investment exposure than an unleveraged investment. Swap and future agreements may be used to create leverage. Each Fund employs leveraged investment techniques to achieve its investment objective.

Liquidity Risk – In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the securities or financial instruments in which a Fund invests, a Fund might not be able to dispose of certain holdings quickly or at prices that represent fair market value in the judgment of the Adviser. Additionally, certain counterparties may have the ability to demand repayment at any time, thereby exposing the Fund to the risk that it may be required to liquidate investments at an inopportune time. This may prevent a Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or from achieving a high correlation or inverse correlation with its underlying index.

Market Disruption Risk – Geopolitical and other events, including public health crises and natural disasters, have recently led to increased market volatility and significant market losses. Significant market volatility and market downturns may limit a Fund's ability to sell securities and the Fund's sales may exacerbate the market volatility and downturn. Under such circumstances, a Fund may have difficulty achieving its investment objective for one or more trading days, which may adversely impact the Fund's returns on those days and periods inclusive of those days. Alternatively, the Fund may incur higher costs in order to achieve its investment objective and may be forced to purchase and sell securities (including other ETFs' shares) at market prices that do not represent their fair value (including in the case of an ETF, its net asset value) or at times that result in differences between the price the Fund receives for the security and the market closing price of the security. Under those circumstances, the Fund's ability to track its index is likely to be adversely affected, the market price of Fund shares may reflect a greater premium or discount to net asset value, and bid-ask spreads in the Fund's shares may widen, resulting in increased transaction costs for secondary market purchasers and sellers. The Fund may also incur additional tracking error due to the use of other securities that are not perfectly correlated to the Fund's index.

The recent pandemic spread of the novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 has proven to be a market disrupting event. The impact of this virus, like other pandemics that may arise in the future, has negatively affected and may continue to negatively affect the economies of many nations, companies and the global securities and commodities markets, including by reducing

liquidity in the markets. Adverse effects may be more pronounced for developing or emerging market countries that have less established health care systems. How long such events will last and whether they will continue or recur cannot be predicted.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the Funds' financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

  

We have served as the auditor of one or more of the Direxion investment companies since 2001.

Direxion Shares ETF Trust

Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)

Consistent with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Direxion Shares ETF Trust (the "ETF Trust") annually considers the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement") between Rafferty Asset Management, LLC (the "Adviser") and the ETF Trust, on behalf of the Direxion Daily Mid Cap Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily S&P 500® Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily S&P 500® Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Small Cap Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Small Cap Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily FTSE China Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily FTSE China Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily FTSE Europe Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily MSCI Emerging Markets Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily MSCI Emerging Markets Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily MSCI Mexico Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily MSCI South Korea Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Aerospace & Defense Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Consumer Discretionary Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Dow Jones Internet Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Dow Jones Internet Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Financial Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Financial Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Healthcare Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Homebuilders & Supplies Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Industrials Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily MSCI Real Estate Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily MSCI Real Estate Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Pharmaceutical & Medical Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Regional Banks Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Retail Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily S&P 500® High Beta Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily S&P 500® High Beta Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily S&P Biotech Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily S&P Biotech Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Technology Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Technology Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Transportation Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Utilities Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily 7-10 Year Treasury Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily 7-10 Year Treasury Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily 20+ Year Treasury Bull 3X Shares, and the Direxion Daily 20+ Year Treasury Bear 3X Shares, each a series of the ETF Trust. The Agreement is initially approved for a two-year period and must be renewed yearly thereafter to remain in effect. Each series of the ETF Trust is referred to herein as a "Fund" and collectively as the "Funds."

At a meeting held on August 18, 2021, the Board, including the trustees who are not "interested persons" of the ETF Trust as defined in the 1940 Act (the "Independent Trustees"), unanimously approved the renewal of the Agreement, on behalf of the Funds. The Independent Trustees had previously considered information pertaining to the renewal of the Agreement outside the presence of the Adviser's representatives and Fund management in executive sessions held on August 4, 2021 and August 18, 2021.

In considering whether to renew the Agreement, the Board requested, and the Adviser provided, information that the Board and Adviser believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the Agreement. Among other information, the Board obtained and reviewed the following:

•  Detailed information regarding the advisory services provided by the Adviser to the Funds;

•  The investment objectives of the Funds, which require daily rebalancing and the utilization of complex financial instruments that are not typical of traditional index tracking exchange-traded funds;

•  The level of attention required by the Adviser due to the frequent and large trading activity in the Funds;

•  The Adviser's Form ADV;

•  Information about the professional qualifications of those employees primarily responsible for providing services to the Funds;

•  Information regarding each component of the contractual advisory fee rates for the prior fiscal year;

•  Information regarding advisory fees earned and waivers made by the Adviser in connection with providing services to the Funds for the prior fiscal year or since inception, if shorter;

•  Information regarding fees paid to the Adviser under, and an evaluation of the services provided per, the Management Services Agreement for the prior fiscal year;

•  Performance information;

•  Comparative industry fee data, including peer group comparisons;

•  Information regarding the consolidated financial condition of the Adviser and the profitability of the Adviser; and

•  Information regarding how the Adviser monitors the Funds' compliance with regulatory requirements and ETF Trust procedures.

Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)

The Board considered that, with respect to most Funds, they had also received information relevant to their annual review of the Agreement since the Fund's inception and, most recently, throughout the past year at regular Board meetings in connection with their oversight of the Funds, including information bearing on the Funds' service provider arrangements and performance results. In addition, the Board received a memorandum from counsel regarding its responsibilities with respect to the approval of the Agreement and participated in a question and answer session with representatives of the Adviser. The Board carefully evaluated the relevant information and the Independent Trustees were advised by legal counsel with respect to their deliberations.

The Board did not identify any particular information that was most relevant to its consideration to approve the Agreement and each Trustee may have afforded different weight or importance to different factors. For each Fund, the Board considered, among others, the following factors to the extent applicable: (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided; (2) the investment performance; (3) the profitability of the Fund and the advisory business to the Adviser; (4) the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of the Fund's shareholders; (5) comparisons of services and fees with contracts entered into by the Adviser with other clients (such as institutional investors), if any; and (6) other benefits derived or anticipated to be derived and identified by the Adviser from its relationship with the Fund.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided.  The Board reviewed, among other matters, the Adviser's business, assets under management, financial resources and capitalization, quality and quantity of personnel, experience, the variety and complexity of its investment strategies, brokerage practices, and the adequacy of its compliance systems and processes. The Board reviewed the scope of services provided, and to be provided by the Adviser, under the Agreement and noted there would be no significant differences between the scope of services provided by the Adviser in the past year and those to be provided in the upcoming year. The Board also considered the Adviser's representation to the Board that it would continue to provide investment and related services that are of materially the same quality as the services that have been provided to the Funds in the past and whether those services remain appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Funds' operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs.

The Board focused on the quality of the Adviser's personnel and operations and the systems and processes required to manage the Funds effectively, and noted that such personnel, systems and processes may not be present at other investment advisers. The Board considered, as applicable: (1) the Adviser's success in achieving each Fund's daily leveraged investment objective; (2) differences between managing leveraged and non-leveraged portfolios, which include developing index optimization and representative sampling investment strategies as well as specialized skills for trading complex financial instruments; (3) information regarding the Adviser's management of derivatives trading activities on behalf of the Funds, including the selection of swap counterparties and the negotiation of favorable derivatives contract terms; (4) the Adviser's ability to manage the Funds in a tax efficient manner, which is more challenging for leveraged than non-leveraged funds; and (5) the size, professional experience and skills of the Adviser's portfolio management staff and the Adviser's ability to recruit, train, and retain personnel with the relevant experience and expertise necessary to manage the Funds. The Board considered that the Adviser oversees all aspects of the operation of the Funds, including oversight of the Funds' service providers, and provides compliance services to the Funds.

Comparison of Advisory Services and Fees.  The Board considered the fairness and reasonableness of the investment advisory fee rate payable to the Adviser by each Fund in light of the investment advisory services provided by the Adviser. In this regard, the Board also considered the ability of investors to achieve independently the investment objective of the Funds and the costs to investors of seeking to do so by utilizing a margin account or other means. The Board concluded that it would be difficult for an investor to implement independently any Fund's investment strategy and that attempting to do so would likely be cost-prohibitive. From this perspective, the Board noted the cost effectiveness for investors of employing the Funds to achieve certain investment objectives.

The Board further considered the fairness and reasonableness of the investment advisory fee rate payable to the relevant Adviser by each Fund in light of fee rates paid by other investment companies offering strategies similar in nature to the Funds. In this regard, the Board reviewed information prepared by the Adviser, using data provided by Morningstar, Inc., to compare the Funds' actual advisory fee rates, and gross and net total expenses with those of other funds with common key characteristics, such as asset size, investment objective or industry focus ("Peer Group"). The Board noted the difficulty in

DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT
213


Direxion Shares ETF Trust

Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)

compiling a broad and diverse Peer Group because, by design, each Fund is unique and, therefore, few (if any) fund complexes have funds with substantially similar investment objectives and operations. They noted that an independent consultant in 2019 had advised the Board on the Peer Group selection methodology and that the methodology employed in 2021 was consistent with that suggested by the independent consultant.

The Board noted that the comparison reports included the contractual advisory fee and net and gross total expense ratios for each Fund and each Peer Group fund. The Board considered that the Adviser had agreed to limit the total expenses of the Funds (subject to certain exclusions) for the next year by contractually agreeing to pay certain expenses of the Funds under a separate Operating Expense Limitation Agreement.

Performance of the Funds.  The Board focused on the correlation of each Fund's return to the model performance return for the periods ending June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 or since inception if a Fund did not have two full years of operations. In this regard, the Board considered each Fund's daily returns versus model returns ("Tracking Difference"), the standard deviation of the Tracking Differences, and a tracking error analysis provided by the Adviser. The Board also reviewed the total return of each Fund for the one-year or, if shorter, since inception period ended June 30, 2021. The Board considered reports provided to it in anticipation of the meeting, as well as performance reports provided at regular Board meetings throughout the year. The Board noted that the correlation of returns for each Fund to its model performance was generally within reasonable ranges during the reviewed periods. The Board considered that, given the investment objectives of the Funds, the correlation of each such Fund's performance with the model performance and Tracking Error were more meaningful indicia of the quality of the Advisor's management than a Fund's total return.

Costs of Services Provided to the Funds and Profits Realized by the Adviser.  The Board reviewed information regarding the profitability of the Adviser based on the fee rates payable under the Agreement. The Board considered the profitability of each Fund and the overall profitability of the Adviser, as reflected in the Adviser's profitability analysis, as well as information provided by the Adviser concerning the methodology used to allocate various expenses. The Board also considered the significant drivers of cost for the Adviser including, but not limited to, intellectual capital, the dedication of personnel resources to daily portfolio management activities (including rebalancing of the Funds), regulatory compliance, and entrepreneurial risk. The Board further considered a report on other investment advisers' profitability, which was compiled using publicly available information. The Board recognized that it is difficult to compare profitability among investment advisory firms because certain information is not publicly available. Further, to the extent such information is available, the Board acknowledged that it is affected by numerous factors, including the nature of a firm's fund shareholder base, the structure of the adviser and its tax status, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, assumptions regarding allocations and the reporting of operating profits and net income net (rather than gross) of distribution and marketing expenses.

Economies of Scale.  The Board considered the current breakpoints included in the Agreement, which provide for reduced advisory fee rates for each Fund and the impact when the assets of each Fund reach certain levels. The Board also considered the Adviser's explanation as to why these breakpoints appropriately reflect the Funds' economies of scale.

Other Benefits.  The Board considered indirect and "fall-out" benefits that the Adviser or its affiliates may derive from their relationship to the Funds. Such benefits include the Adviser's ability to leverage its investment management personnel or infrastructure to manage other accounts. In this regard, the Board noted that certain Funds pay a management services fee to the Adviser.

Conclusion.  Based on, but not limited to, the above considerations and determinations, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined that the Agreement for the Funds was fair and reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services to be performed, the fee rates to be paid, the Adviser's expenses and such other matters as the Board considered relevant in the exercise of its business judgment. Accordingly, the Board concluded that the continuation of the Agreement was in the best interests of the shareholders of the Funds. On this basis, the Board unanimously voted in favor of the renewal of the Agreement.

Board Review of Liquidity Risk Management Program (Unaudited)

Consistent with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Liquidity Rule"), the Direxion Shares ETF Trust (the "Trust"), on behalf of each series of the Trust (the "Funds"), established a liquidity risk management program (the "Liquidity Program") to assess and manage each Fund's liquidity risk, which is the risk that a Fund is unable to meet investor redemption requests without significantly diluting the remaining investors' interests in the Fund.

At its November 19, 2021 meeting, the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Trust reviewed the Liquidity Program. The Board has appointed Rafferty Asset Management, LLC, the investment advisor to the Funds, as the Liquidity Program administrator. At the meeting, Rafferty Asset Management, LLC provided the Board with a written report that addressed the operation of the Funds' Liquidity Program and assessed the adequacy and effectiveness of the implementation of the Liquidity Program (the "Report"). The Report covered the period from November 1, 2020 through October 31, 2021 (the "Report Period"). The Report noted the following:

•  The Liquidity Program supported each Fund's ability to meet redemption requests timely;

•  The Liquidity Program supported Rafferty Asset Management, LLC's management of each Fund's liquidity, including during periods of market volatility and net redemptions;

•  No material liquidity issues were identified during the report period;

•  There were no material changes to the Liquidity Program during the report period; and

•  The Liquidity Program operated adequately during the report period.

The Report also described the Liquidity Program's liquidity classification methodology for categorizing a Fund's investment (including derivative transactions) into one of four liquidity buckets as required by the Liquidity Rule. The Report stated that the Liquidity Program is operating as intended and is effective in implementing the requirements of the Liquidity Rule.

There can be no assurance that the Liquidity Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to your Fund's prospectus for more information regarding the Fund's exposure to liquidity risk and other risks.

Letter to Shareholders (Unaudited)

Dear Shareholders,

This Annual Report for the Direxion Shares exchange traded funds (the "ETFs") covers the period from November 1, 2020 to October 31, 2021 (the "Annual Period").

Market Review:

Worsening COVID-19 case counts in the US, on the heels of a resurgence of the virus in Europe, bore fears of a second wave, all while hopes of a vaccine began to materialize to start the Annual Period. As a result, equity markets ended down for October. The election of Joseph Biden, as President of the United States, generated sharp returns for domestic equity markets in November, which was in stark contrast to what was widely expected if a Democrat were to win the race. A pledge of essentially unlimited monetary support from the Federal Reserve, coupled with stimulus for families and small businesses, served as necessary bolster to an economy reeling from the pandemic. Hopes of an effective vaccine began to emerge in November as well. Emerging markets performed well during the fourth quarter of 2020, largely on the back of U.S. dollar weakness. Equities were mixed amid higher volatility in January, on slower than expected vaccine rollout, frenzied retail trading and further stimulus expectations. Rising bond yields in February became a signal the economy was on the mend. On balance with dovish statements from the Federal Reserve, yields abated somewhat into the end of February as the global economy attempted to navigate the road to a post-COVID economy. Optimism took hold in March of 2021 as promises of a $1.9 trillion fiscal stimulus package, along with a $2 trillion infrastructure package, bolstered hopes for an economic recovery. Spring saw the re-opening trade, as COVID-19 vaccine rollout began to see broad traction, allowing an uptick in economic activity while also bringing inflation data into the broader discussion as the consumer price index rose from 3% to 3.8%. July saw added volatility in equity markets relating to the Delta variant of COVID-19, a more transmissible variant, along with concerns of a moderating economic recovery and tightening regulatory scrutiny in China on its tech sector, which hit emerging markets particularly hard. Despite the headwinds, the S&P 500 continued to post gains through summer on a strong second quarter 2021 earnings season. In August, dovish tones from Federal Reserve Chairman, Jerome Powell, regarding the pace and timing of tapering were enough to offset concerns of inflation running too hot in the near term, and that the COVID-19 Delta variant could potentially derail the ongoing economic recovery. Equities pulled back in September amid concerns that rising inflation would eat into growth, along with a statement from the Federal Reserve that it would announce a plan for tapering its asset purchases at its November meeting. Profit margins and the supply chain were the themes for Q3 earnings. The consumer discretionary sector was the big winner for October, as a broad swathe of companies were able to navigate supply-chain issues while, also maintaining margins that were under threat of being eaten away by rising inflation.

The Federal Reserve continued to keep the federal funds rate at the low range of .00 – .25bps, and pledged to continue through 2023, in hopes fiscal stimulus plans and the development and deployment of vaccines will encourage economic growth. At the end of the Annual Period, 67% of the US population has received at least one dose of a vaccine. The continued low benchmark set by the Federal Reserve, put in place in March of 2019, has increased expectations of inflation. This caused CPI to increase 6.2% through the end of the Annual Period, to a CPI of 276.724, marking the highest rate of inflation in years. This, in turn, drove bond prices lower, and yields even higher. The 2 to 10 year yield curve, which is an indication that short term yields have dropped more than long term yields, increased from .71% to 1.07%. For the Annual Period, the 10 year treasury yield finished at 1.55%, as the market rallied back from pandemic lows.

Factors Affecting the ETFs Performance:

Benchmark Performance – The performance of each ETF's benchmark index, and the factors and market conditions implicitly affecting that index, are the primary factors driving ETF performance. The market conditions that affected the benchmark indexes during the past year are described in the Market Review section above.

DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT

Fees, Expenses, and Transaction Costs – Fees and expenses are listed in each ETF's prospectus and may be higher than many traditional index funds' fees, which cause a greater negative impact on ETF performance. Transaction costs are not included in the expense ratio of the ETFs.

The ETFs Performance Review:

The following discussion relates to the performance of the ETFs for the Annual Period. The performance of the ETFs for the Annual Period is important primarily for understanding whether the ETFs meet their investment goals. All ETF returns are NAV (net asset value) returns.

Non-Leveraged ETFs

The Direxion Auspice Broad Commodity Strategy ETF seeks to provide total returns that exceed that of the Auspice Broad Commodity Index over a complete market cycle. The Auspice Broad Commodity Index attempts to capture upward trends in the commodity markets while minimizing risk during down trends. The Auspice Broad Commodity Index will use a quantitative methodology to track either long or flat positions in a diversified portfolio of 12 different commodity futures contracts, or "components", which cover the energy, metal, and agricultural sectors. It attempts to incorporate dynamic risk management and contract rolling methods. For the Annual Period, the Auspice Broad Commodity Index returned 42.48%, while the Direxion Auspice Broad Commodity Strategy ETF returned 41.37%.

The Direxion Auspice Broad Commodity Strategy ETF began the Annual Period long 10 of 12 possible commodities, with only natural gas and gold being flat. The positive Fund performance to start the Period was partially fueled by a weaker U.S. dollar, but also strong gains from its crude oil position as part of the economic reopening trade. December was a very strong month for performance, as positive vaccine news continued to fuel the reopening trade on both the energy and agriculture fronts, particularly corn, as China boosted imports. Remaining long 10 of 12 commodities heading into 2021, the agricultural sector continued to shine with China putting pressure on corn supplies, and wheat advanced as an alternative livestock feed with the pressure on corn. February Fund performance benefitted primarily from its energy positions, as a record cold snap put pressure on Texas' electrical grid. March saw some weakness as pullbacks in cotton, sugar and wheat were enough to outweigh gains made elsewhere, leading to a down month overall. The Fund saw a strong bounce back as the narrative in the commodities space reached the mainstream media, with the price of lumber skyrocketing as part of the reopening trade in April. Positive performance for April was led by the agriculture space, particularly corn and soybeans, on tightening global supplies. May saw the Fund benefit from its positions in energy and metals, as crude oil prices continued to creep upward amid increasing mentions of inflation in the broader economic dialogue. As equities surged, commodities were mixed for the month of June. Crude continued its strong run on tightening supply, while the agricultural positions performed well on similar concerns, as well as rising food prices. A pullback in metals though, was enough to offset a large portion of those gains, as gold lost some luster amid a stronger U.S. Dollar and a hawkish Federal Reserve. Upward performance in July was led by the energy sector, with natural gas having a strong month on demand from the continued economic reopening trade. Gold also bounced back after selling off the prior month. Weakness in oil and gasoline was offset by a continued move up in natural gas as the Fund benefitted mainly from strong gains in its sugar position, as that crop suffered from hot and dry weather in August. Into the end of the Annual Period, September and October saw strong positive performance driven by energy and agricultural exposures. Natural gas continued to surge, as petroleum exposure also moved up amid energy shortages and supply disruptions. Cotton also saw strong upward performance to compliment the energy moves, as rain interfered with harvest season leading to tight supplies in the US.

The Direxion Dynamic Hedge ETF seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the Salt truVolTM US Large Cap Dynamic Hedge Index. The Salt truVolTM US Large Cap Dynamic Hedge Index is designed to adjust net exposure to the S&P 500 Index in an attempt to capitalize on the inverse relationship between volatility and the returns of the S&P 500® Index. The Index utilizes a proprietary volatility model developed by Salt Financial Indices, LLC., to estimate future market volatility to determine the size of the Index's hedge (short position). The Index's hedge or short position is reviewed daily and may range from 0% to 100% of the long position in the S&P 500 Index. For the Annual Period, the Salt truVolTM US Large Cap Dynamic Hedge Index returned 22.85%, while the Direxion Dynamic Hedge ETF returned 22.22%.

The Direxion Dynamic Hedge ETF's performance was consistent with the overall broad market uptrend, following the global pandemic earlier in the year 2020. Despite a brief market correction in the February of 2021 due to rising 10 year yield, the broad market's volatility was exceptionally calm, as highlighted by CBOE Volatility Index's daily average level of roughly 20 for the entire Annual Period. As such, the Fund was heavily exposed to the S&P 500 Index, which also performed well, driven primarily by the financial, technology and healthcare sectors. All were big winners on the heels of the pandemic driven market. With the market at all-time highs, there were certain periods when the Fund was hedged in anticipation of a sell off. The hedge contributed to the underperformance of the Fund, when compared to the S&P 500, as the market continued to trend higher during the Annual Period.

The Direxion Fallen Knives ETF seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the Indxx US Fallen Knives Index. The Indxx US Fallen Knives Index is designed by Indxx, LLC to consist of U.S equity securities that have experienced considerable share price declines over the prior year and have financial health, suggesting that the security has potential for share price recovery in the future. For the Annual Period, the Indxx US Fallen Knives Index returned 35.09%, while the Direxion Fallen Knives ETF returned 34.30%.

The Direxion Fallen Knives ETF was weighted towards financials, healthcare and information technology for a large part of the Annual Period. Financial sector names, which comprised approximately one third of the Fund, gained 71.14% as investors seized upon the opportunity to buy financial names at bargain prices, while earnings grew faster relative to the S&P 500 Index. The industrials sector posted gains of 39.70%, bolstered by growing optimism over cyclical economic growth, and reopening of the economy after a vaccine was developed on November of 2020. Finally, the technology sector was the most popular theme during the Annual Period, as it gained 43.61% due to the demand for an increased data capacity surged as people sheltered in place for work and school. The Fund successfully caught equities on a rebound, after it fell out of favor during the onset of the COVID-19.

The Direxion Flight to Safety Strategy ETF seeks to provide total returns that exceed the total return of the Solactive Flight to Safety Index over a complete market cycle. The Solactive Flight to Safety Index measures the performance of a volatility-weighted basket of gold, U.S. listed large-capitalization utility stocks, and U.S. treasury bonds with remaining maturities of greater than 20 years. The Index rebalances on a quarterly basis such that the weight of each component (U.S. treasury bonds, utility stocks, and gold) will be based on the contribution of the volatility of each component to the overall Index. The least volatile component of the Index, based on each component's trailing 5 year volatility measure, will receive the largest weighting. The gold component will be limited to 22.5% of the Index and its volatility will be based on the volatility of the spot price of gold. For the Annual Period, the Solactive Flight to Safety Index returned -1.72%, while the Direxion Flight to Safety Strategy ETF returned -1.51%.

The Direxion Flight to Safety Strategy ETF underperformed during the Annual Period as the equity markets rallied very strongly from pandemic lows, coinciding with a higher vaccination rate. During this period, defensive investors who were looking for safe havens were disappointed. The utilities sector of the Fund was able to capture some of the equity market upside, but not enough to mitigate the performance of gold and treasuries. Since the Fund seeks to provide risk mitigation, as well as a long-term appreciation potential, the uncertain nature of the overall market bouncing back so strongly from pandemic lows created a difficult environment.

The Direxion Hydrogen ETF seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the Indxx Hydrogen Economy Index. The Indxx Hydrogen Economy Index tracks the performance of companies that provide goods and/or services related to the Hydrogen Industry, including hydrogen generation and storage, fuel cells, hydrogen stations, and hydrogen-based vehicles. The Index includes domestic securities as well as securities listed on various foreign markets, including among others, Japan and South Korea. The Index is reconstituted annually and rebalanced quarterly. Since the Fund's inception on March 25, 2021, Indxx Hydrogen Economy Index returned 2.90%, while the Direxion Hydrogen ETF returned 1.37%.

The Direxion Hydrogen ETF initially benefitted from a newly elected democratic congress, and President Biden's focal shift to a green energy-friendly mandate. After ending 2020 near the highs, hydrogen stocks reversed course towards the end of March 2021. Hydrogen fuel cell names such Plug Power Inc. lost as much as 30.79%, as investors were concerned over high production costs and weak progress. However, the Fund had a positive outlook to close out the Annual Period, due to

DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT

news of bipartisan support for the $1 trillion infrastructure bill. As a result of this deal, green hydrogen fuel production is expected to significantly reduce costs and increase its output by multiples, potentially benefitting the Fund both short- and long-term.

The Direxion Low Priced Stock ETF seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the Solactive Two Bucks Index. The Solactive Two Bucks Index is an equal-weighted index provided by Solactive AG that is designed to measure the performance of U.S.-listed securities with relatively low trading prices. The Index Provider begins with the Solactive GBS United States All Cap Index and applies certain requirements that vary depending on the quarter at which the Index is rebalanced in order to select a total of 50 securities. The Index is rebalanced and reconstituted quarterly in February, May, August, and November. Since the Fund's inception on July 22, 2021, Solactive Two Bucks Index returned -6.37%, while the Direxion Low Priced Stock ETF returned -6.27%.

The Direxion Low Priced Stock ETF underperformed the broader equity markets during the Annual Period, but did have some standout performers. Uranium Energy Corporation returned 95%, Accuray Incorporated 20.91%, and Endo International PLC 19.43%. Culprits for the overall underperformance Kala Pharmaceuticals, Inc. returning -53.97%, Xeris Biopharma Holdings, Inc. -47.16%, and Orbital Energy Group, Inc. -28.03%.

The Direxion Moonshot Innovators ETF seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the S&P Kensho Moonshots Index. The S&P Kensho Moonshots Index is comprised of 50 U.S. companies that pursue innovative technologies that have the potential to disrupt existing technologies and/or industries (i.e., moonshot innovators) and are considered to have the highest "early-stage composite innovation scores" which is determined based off a natural language processing review of the constituent company's latest annual regulatory filing for the use of words and phrases that are related to innovation. The Index is modified equal-weighted, reconstituted annually, and rebalanced semi-annually. Since the Fund's inception on November 12, 2020, the S&P Kensho Moonshots Index returned 34.73%, while the Direxion Moonshot Innovators ETF returned 35.54%.

The Direxion Moonshot Innovators ETF outperformed a range of major indexes through the end of 2020. The Fund has a small cap tilt, with standout names including Asana, Inc. returning 537.26%, LendingClub Corporation 741.76%, Ambarella, Inc. 220.18%. These three names were also the highest weightings for the Fund at Period-end. The Fund continued to rally into February 2021, before softening a bit through the summer, and then falling to an 11-month low at the end of the Annual Period.

The Direxion NASDAQ-100® Equal Weighted Index Shares seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the NASDAQ-100® Equal Weighted Index. The NASDAQ-100® Equal Weighted Index is the equal weighted version of the NASDAQ-100 Index® which includes approximately 100 of the largest domestic and international non-financial companies listed on the NASDAQ® Stock Market based on market capitalization selected by NASDAQ, Inc., the index provider. Equal weighting is a method of weighting index stocks whereby the same exposure is provided to both the smallest and largest companies included in the Index. The Index is rebalanced quarterly and reconstituted annually. For the Annual Period, the NASDAQ-100® Equal Weighted Index returned 39.84%, while the Direxion NASDAQ-100® Equal Weighted Index Shares returned 39.30%.

The Direxion NASDAQ-100® Equal Weighted Index Shares tracked very closely to the NASDAQ 100 during the Annual Period, as the top performers for each had very similar weightings. A large part of the Fund's gains took place between June and August of 2021, as investors shifted back into tech stocks on growing vaccine rollouts and promising Q2 earnings. Even in the face of the delta variant fears, fading optimism in Federal Reserve policy, slower growth and high inflation in September, the Fund continued to reach new highs at the end of the Annual Period.

The Direxion Work From Home ETF seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the Solactive Remote Work Index. The Solactive Remote Work Index is comprised of U.S. listed securities and ADRs of companies that provide products and services in at least one of the following business segments that facilitate the ability of people to work from home: remote communications, cyber security, online project and document management, and cloud computing technologies ("WFH Industries"). The Index consists of 40 companies, namely, the top 10 ranked companies in each of the

DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT
7


four WFH Industries. The Index is equal weighted at each semi-annual reconstitution and rebalance date. For the Annual Period, the Solactive Remote Work Index returned 46.05%, while the Direxion Work From Home ETF returned 45.69%.

The Direxion Work from Home ETF performed well to star the Annual Period, as it gained approximately 40% through mid-February. The Fund, which is technology sector-heavy, then experienced a setback due to rising 10 year yields and fears of a Federal Reserve rate hike. Concerned investors believed the potentially higher interest rate would erode the present value of the future earnings on these tech growth stocks, and subsequently rotated into value stocks. As a result, the Fund suffered an almost -11% loss from mid-February through mid-May. However, the market was assured by the Federal Reserve that the inflation was transitory and a rate hike will happen gradually, which calmed the market and halted the tech sell-off. Currently, with the American workforce gradually returning back to work, there is a concern that the core objective of the Fund will be challenged. However, with more than half of the American companies committing to a permanent hybrid work from home model, persistent COVID-19 flare-ups, along with accelerating technological transformation, it is reasonable to say the remote work model has staying power.

The Direxion World Without Waste ETF seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the Indxx US Circular Economy Index. The Indxx US Circular Economy Index tracks the performance of 50 US-listed companies that are representative of the transformative shift from the linear model of economy to a circular one. The index includes five sub-themes central to the circular economy, providing investors access to the shifting paradigm in growing segments such as biofuels, solar power, and waste management, along with collaboration and content sharing platforms. Companies that cumulatively derive revenue greater than, or equal to, 50% from categories comprising a sub-theme, are 'pure-play' companies. All of the 'pure-play' companies from the sub-themes will form the selection list. The top 10 companies from each sub-theme, by largest total market capitalization, will form the final index. Since the Fund's inception on December 17, 2020, the Indxx US Circular Economy Index returned 25.00%, while the Direxion World Without Waste ETF returned 24.36%.

The Direxion World Without Waste ETF' best performing holdings include Atlassian Corporation, an enterprise software company, which gained 84.69%, Tesla, an electric vehicle company, which gained 69.84%, and Intuit Inc. a business and financial management software company, which gained 65.49%. The Fund's strongest returns occurred from mid-May through the end of June, and then again in October to close out the Annual Period.

Relative Weight ETFs

The Direxion Russell 1000® Growth Over Value ETF seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the Russell 1000® Growth/Value 150/50 Net Spread Index. Russell 1000® Growth/Value 150/50 Net Spread Index measures the performance of a portfolio that has 150% long exposure to the Russell 1000® Growth Index (the "Long Component") and 50% short exposure to the Russell 1000® Value Index (the "Short Component"). On a monthly basis, the index will rebalance such that the weight of the Long Component is equal to 150% and the weight of the Short Component is equal to 50% of the index value. In tracking the index, the Fund seeks to provide a vehicle for investors looking to efficiently express a growth over value investment view by overweighting exposure to the Long Component and shorting exposure to the Short Component. For the Annual Period, the Russell 1000® Growth/Value 150/50 Net Spread Index returned 41.66%, while the Direxion Russell 1000® Growth Over Value ETF returned 41.11%.

The Direxion Russell 1000® Value Over Growth ETF seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the Russell 1000® Value/Growth 150/50 Net Spread Index. The Russell 1000® Value/Growth 150/50 Net Spread Index measures the performance of a portfolio that has 150% long exposure to the Russell 1000® Value Index (the "Long Component") and 50% short exposure to the Russell 1000® Growth Index (the "Short Component"). On a monthly basis, the index will rebalance such that the weight of the Long Component is equal to 150% and the weight of the Short Component is equal to 50% of the index value. In tracking the index, the Fund seeks to provide a vehicle for investors looking to efficiently express a value over growth investment view by overweighting exposure to the Long Component and shorting exposure to the Short Component. For the Annual Period, the Russell 1000® Value/Growth 150/50 Net Spread Index returned 42.74%, while the Direxion Russell 1000® Value Over Growth ETF returned 41.96%.

Index Volatility:

After the initial onslaught of the equity sell off during the height of the pandemic, the CBOE Volatility Index reached a low point in October 2021, trading around 15, which was a remarkable improvement from the index peak that touched 37 in late January 2021. The decline was a result of the decreasing case counts, an increase in vaccinations, and the passing of the initial uncertainty in the equity market. However, upon entering the Annual Period, the volatility spiked and the downward trend was due to the failure to agree on an economic aid package before the November 3rd election by lawmakers. Volatility spiked once again in mid-February, following the tech sector's rout due to the fear of rising 10 year rates. The tech and work from home thematic names, which were some of the best performing stocks during the pandemic in the prior year, were hit the hardest by the uptick in the interest rates. The rates have since stabilized through the summer, but continued to decrease through Period end. This further emphasized inflation fears. Even though the CBOE Volatility Index finished the period at 16.53, volatility is slated to remain tied to geopolitical risk, as the U.S. and world leaders continue to adjust to the pandemic and inflation fears.

An investor should carefully consider a Fund's investment objective, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. A Fund's prospectus and summary prospectus contain this and other information about the Direxion Shares. To obtain a Fund's prospectus and summary prospectus call 866-476-7523 or visit our website at direxion.com. A Fund's prospectus and summary prospectus should be read carefully before investing.

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 under one year are cumulative, not annualized. For the most recent month-end performance please visit the Fund's website at direxion.com.

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. Because of ongoing market volatility, Fund performance may be subject to substantial short-term changes. For additional information, see the Fund's prospectus.

Shares of the Direxion Shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from a Fund. Market Price returns are based upon the midpoint of the bid/ask spread at 4:00 pm EST (when NAV is normally calculated) and do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Fund returns assume that dividends and capital gains distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV. Some performance results reflect expense reimbursements or recoupments and fee waivers in effect during certain periods shown. Absent these reimbursements or recoupments and fee waivers, results would have been less favorable.

LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) is the average interest rate estimated by leading banks in London that they would be charged if borrowing from other banks.

Futures Contract: an agreement traded on an organized exchange to buy or sell assets, especially commodities or shares, at a fixed price but to be delivered and paid for later.

ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance: Environmental criteria considers how a company performs as a steward of nature. Social criteria examine how it manages relationships with employees, suppliers, customers, and the communities where it operates. Governance deals with a company's leadership, executive pay, audits, internal controls, and shareholder rights.

Direxion Auspice Broad Commodity Strategy ETF – Commodities and futures generally are volatile and are not suitable for all investors. The value of a commodity-linked derivative investment typically is based upon the price movements of a physical commodity and may be affected by changes in overall market movements, volatility of the Index, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments. Commodity linked derivatives also may be subject to credit and interest rate risks that in general affect the values of debt securities. The Fund's investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other investments, including risk related to leverage, imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund's other portfolio holdings, higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty risk, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. Futures contracts are typically exchange traded contracts that call for the future delivery of an asset at a certain price and date, or cash settlement of the terms of the contract. Futures markets are highly volatile and the use of futures may increase the volatility of the Fund. There may be an imperfect correlation between the changes in market value of the securities held by the Fund and the prices of futures contracts. There may not be a liquid secondary market for the futures contracts.

Under amended regulations promulgated by the U.S. Commodities Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC"), the Fund and the Subsidiary are considered commodity pools, and therefore each is subject to regulation under the Commodity Exchange Act and CFTC rules. The Adviser is registered as a commodity pool operator ("CPO") and will manage both the Fund and Subsidiary in accordance with CFTC rules, as well as the rules that apply to registered investment companies, which includes registering both the Fund and the Subsidiary as commodity pools. Registration as a commodity pool subjects the registrant to additional laws, regulations and enforcement policies, all of which may potentially increase compliance costs and may affect the operations and financial performance of the Fund or the Subsidiary. Additionally, the Subsidiary's positions in futures contracts may have to be liquidated at disadvantageous times or prices to prevent the Fund from exceeding any applicable position limits established by the CFTC. Such actions may subject the Fund to substantial losses.

Direxion Relative Weight ETFs Risks – Investing involves risk including possible loss of principal. The ETFs' investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater than, those associated with directly investing in or shorting securities or other investments. There is no guarantee that the returns on an ETF's long or short positions will produce high, or even positive returns and the ETF could lose money if either or both of the ETF's long and short positions produce negative returns. Please see the summary and full prospectuses for a more complete description of these and other risks of the ETFs.

Direxion Shares Risks – An investment in the ETFs involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. The ETFs are non-diversified and include risks associated with concentration that results from an ETF's investments in a particular industry or sector which can increase volatility. The use of derivatives such as futures contracts and swaps are subject to market risks that may cause their price to fluctuate over time. The ETFs do not attempt to, and should not be expected to, provide returns which are a multiple of the return of their respective index for periods other than a single day. For other risks including leverage, correlation, daily compounding, market volatility and risks specific to an industry or sector, please read the prospectus.

The views of this letter were those of the Adviser as of October 31, 2021 and may not necessarily reflect his views on the date this letter is first published or anytime thereafter. These views are intended to help shareholders in understanding the ETFs' present investment methodology and do not constitute investment advice.

The Solactive Flight to Safety Index measures the performance of a volatility-weighted basket of gold, U.S. listed large-capitalization utility stocks, and U.S. treasury bonds with remaining maturities of greater than 20 years. The Index rebalances on a quarterly basis such that the weight of each component (U.S. treasury bonds, utility stocks, and gold) will be based on the contribution of the volatility of each component to the overall Index. The least volatile component of the Index, based on each component's trailing 5 year volatility measure, will receive the largest weighting. The gold component will be limited to 22.5% of the Index and its volatility will be based on the volatility of the spot price of gold. Investors cannot invest directly in an index, although they can invest in its underlying securities.

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. As stated in the current prospectus, the Fund's total annual fund operating expense ratio is 0.50%. Rafferty Asset Management, LLC has contractually agreed to pay all expenses of the Fund other than following: management fees, Rule 12b-1 distribution fees and/or service fees, taxes, swap financing and related costs, dividends or interest on short positions, other interest expenses, brokerage commissions, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses. The performance table and graph do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

The Indxx US Circular Economy Index tracks the performance of 50 US-listed companies that are representative of the transformative shift from the linear model of economy to a circular one. The index includes five sub-themes central to the circular economy, providing investors access to the shifting paradigm in growing segments such as biofuels, solar power, and waste management, along with collaboration and content sharing platforms. Companies that cumulatively derive revenue greater than, or equal to, 50% from categories comprising a sub-theme, are 'pure-play' companies. All of the 'pure-play' companies from the sub-themes will form the selection list. The top 10 companies from each sub-theme, by largest total market capitalization, will form the final index. Investors cannot invest directly in an index, although they can invest in its underlying securities.

Expense Example (Unaudited)

October 31, 2021

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, for purchasing and selling shares and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The example is based on initial investments of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held the entire period (May 1, 2021 to October 31, 2021).

Actual expenses

The first line under each Fund in the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for your Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period May 1, 2021 to October 31, 2021" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Fund shares. Therefore, the second line under each Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing Fund costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

The Trust has evaluated the structure, objective and activities of the Funds and determined that they meet the characteristics of an investment company. As such, these financial statements have applied the guidance as set forth in the Accounting Standards Codifications ("ASC") 946, Financial Services-Investment Companies.

Rafferty Asset Management, LLC ("Rafferty") serves as investment adviser to the Funds. Rafferty has registered as a commodity pool operator ("CPO") and the Funds, with the exception of Direxion Fallen Knives ETF, Direxion Hydrogen ETF, Direxion Moonshot Innovators ETF, Direxion NASDAQ-100® Equal Weighted Index Shares, Direxion Work From Home ETF and Direxion World Without Waste ETF, are considered commodity pools under the Commodity Exchange Act (the "CEA"). Accordingly, Rafferty is subject to registration and regulation as a CPO under the CEA and must comply with various regulatory requirements under the CEA and the rules and regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the National Futures Association, including investor protection requirements, antifraud provisions, disclosure requirements and reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

The Direxion Auspice Broad Commodity Strategy ETF (Consolidated) is managed to track the performance of the Auspice Broad Commodity Index. The Auspice Broad Commodity Index is a long/flat commodities index. A long/flat approach allows the Fund to attempt to take advantage of higher commodity prices, and at the same time shift into a cash position of an individual commodity that shows a downward trend in price. The Fund primarily invests in commodity and financial futures contracts directly and/or indirectly through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Direxion BCS Fund Ltd. ("BCS Fund"), in order to track the returns of the Auspice Broad Commodity Index within the limitation of the U.S. federal tax requirements applicable to regulated investment companies.

The Direxion Flight to Safety Strategy ETF (Consolidated) is managed to track the performance of the Solactive Flight to Safety Index. The Solactive Flight to Safety Index combines long-term U.S. treasury bonds, utility stocks, and gold to provide multi-asset defensive exposures. The Fund primarily invests in gold, U.S. listed large-capitalization utility stocks, and U.S. treasury bonds with remaining maturities of greater than 20 years. It also invests in commodity futures contracts directly and/or indirectly through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Direxion FTS Fund Ltd. ("FTS Fund"), in order to track the returns of the Solactive Flight to Safety Index within the limitation of the U.S. federal tax requirements applicable to regulated investment companies.

2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").

a) Investment Valuation – The Net Asset Value ("NAV") per share of each Fund is determined daily, as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") (normally at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time ("Valuation Time")), each day the NYSE is open for business. A security listed or traded on an exchange, domestic or foreign, is valued at its last sales price on the principal exchange on which it is traded prior to the time when assets are valued. If no sale is reported at that time, the mean of the last bid and asked prices is used. Securities primarily traded on the NASDAQ® Global Market ("NASDAQ") for which market quotations are readily available are valued using the NASDAQ® Official Closing Price ("NOCP") provided by NASDAQ each business day. Over-the-counter ("OTC") securities held by a Fund are valued at the last sales price or, if no sales price is reported, the mean of the last bid and asked price is used. The portfolio securities of a Fund that are listed on national exchanges are valued at the last sales price of such securities or; if no sales price is reported, the mean of the last bid and asked price is used. Swap contracts are valued using the closing price of the underlying reference entity or the closing value of the underlying reference index. The Funds valued their investments in money market funds based on their daily net asset values. If the settlement price established by the exchange reflects trading after the Valuation Time, then the last sales price prior to Valuation Time will be used. Securities and swap contracts are fair valued as determined by the Rafferty under the supervision of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") in the following scenarios: a) reliable market quotations are not readily available; b) the Funds' pricing service does not provide a valuation for such securities; c) the Funds' pricing service provides a valuation that in the judgment of the Rafferty does not represent fair value; or d) the Fund or Rafferty believes the market price is stale.

b) Swap Contracts – Each Fund may enter into equity swap contacts. Standard equity swap contracts are between two parties that agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross amount to be exchanged is calculated with respect to a "notional amount" (i.e. the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a "basket" of securities representing a particular index or industry sector). Each Fund enters into master netting agreements with counterparties to mitigate counterparty credit risk in derivative contracts. A Fund does not offset fair value amounts for derivative contracts and related cash collateral on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities arising from derivative contracts executed with the same counterparties under such master netting agreements. Each Fund's obligations are accrued daily and offset by any amounts owed to the Fund.

DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT
58


In a "long" equity swap agreement, the counterparty will generally agree to pay the Fund the amount, if any, by which the notional amount of the swap contract would have increased in value if the Fund had been invested in the particular securities, plus dividends that would have been received on those securities. The Fund will agree to pay the counterparty a floating rate of interest (e.g., a LIBOR based rate) on the notional amount of the swap contract plus the amount, if any, by which the notional amount would have decreased in value had it been invested in such securities plus, in certain instances, commissions or trading spreads on the notional amounts. Thus, the return on the swap contract should be the gain or loss on the notional amount plus dividends on the securities less the interest and commission paid by the Fund on the notional amount. Payments may be made at the conclusion of the contract or periodically during its term. In certain instances, market factors such as the interest rate environment and the demand to borrow the securities underlying the swap agreement can cause a scenario in which the counterparty will pay the Fund interest. These swap contracts do not include the delivery of securities by the Funds to the counterparty. The net amount of the excess, if any, of the Fund's obligations owed over its entitlement with respect to each swap is accrued on a daily basis and an amount of cash or liquid assets having an aggregate net asset value at least equal to such accrued excess is maintained in a segregated account by the Funds' custodian. Until a swap contract is settled in cash, the gain or loss on the notional amount plus dividends on the securities less the interest paid by the Fund on the notional amount are recorded as "unrealized appreciation or depreciation on swaps" and when cash is exchanged, the gain or loss is recorded as "realized gains or losses on swaps".

Each Fund may enter into swap contracts that provide the opposite return of the underlying benchmark or security ("short" the index or security). The operations are similar to that of the swaps disclosed above except that the counterparty pays interest to the Fund on the notional amount outstanding and the dividends on the underlying securities reduce the return of the swap. However, in certain instances, market factors such as the interest rate environment and the demand to borrow the securities underlying the swap agreement can cause a scenario in which the Fund will pay the counterparty interest. These amounts are netted with any unrealized appreciation or depreciation to determine the value of the swap. The Funds will typically enter into equity swap agreements to obtain leverage in order to meet their investment objectives.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-01, "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" ("ASU 2013 – 01"), requires entities to disclose (i) gross and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the financial statements, and (ii) instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting agreement. ASU 2013-01 is limited in scope recognize derivative instruments accounted for under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, to the extent they are offset in the financial statements or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement of similar agreement.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help a Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, a Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement ("ISDA Master Agreement") or similar agreement with its counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between a Fund and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives, including swap contracts, and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms, netting and rights of set-off provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, a Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments' payables and receivables to create a single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of a default (close-out netting) or similar event, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty.

Collateral requirements generally differ by type of derivative. Collateral terms are contract specific for OTC derivatives (e.g. swaps). Generally, for transactions traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are calculated by netting the marked-to-market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by a Fund and the counterparty. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to the counterparty must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold before a transfer is required to be made. To the extent amounts due to a Fund from its derivative counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. Interest earned on collateral pledged to a counterparty is presented as part of Interest income on the Statements of Operations. Interest incurred on collateral received from a counterparty is presented as Interest expense on the Statements of Operations.

For financial reporting purposes, the Funds elect to not offset assets and liabilities subject to an ISDA Master Agreement, if any, in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Therefore, all qualifying transactions are presented on a gross basis in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As of October 31, 2021, the impact of netting of assets and liabilities and the offsetting

DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT
59


of collateral pledged or received based on contractual netting/set-off provisions in the ISDA Master Agreement are detailed in the following tables.

In the event of the counterparty's default, bankruptcy or any other event for which the counterparty cannot meet its obligations, a Fund bears the risk of loss equal to the amount of the daily appreciation owed to the Fund. This obligation represents the daily gain accrued to the Fund from the close of business day prior to this event to the day on which this event occurs and the counterparty can no longer meet its obligations. A Fund will enter into swap agreements only with large, well-capitalized and established financial institutions. The creditworthiness of each of the firms that is a party to a swap agreement is monitored by the Adviser. Shareholders may obtain swap counterparty financial statements at www.sec.gov. Swap contracts are subject to credit risk. Credit risk occurs when the financial condition of an issuer of a security or instrument may cause it to default or become unable to pay interest or principal due on the security. The counterparty to a swap contract might default on its obligations. In addition, the Funds have agreements with certain counterparties with which it trades swap contracts that contain credit risk-related contingent features that could be triggered subject to certain circumstances. Such circumstances include agreed upon net asset value and performance-based thresholds. The maximum exposure to the Funds in regard to potential counterparty default and credit-risk related contingent features at October 31, 2021 is detailed in the following tables. If such credit risk-related contingencies were triggered, the counterparties would have the option to terminate any positions open under the master netting agreement.

c) Futures Contracts – Each Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts. A Fund may use futures contracts to gain exposure to, or hedge against, changes in the values of commodities, equities, interest rates or foreign currencies. Upon entering into a contract, the Fund deposits and maintains as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is effected. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as "variation margin" and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains and losses. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. As collateral for futures contracts, the Fund is required under the 1940 Act to maintain assets consisting of cash, cash equivalents or liquid securities. This collateral is required to be adjusted daily to reflect the market value of the purchase obligation for long futures contracts or the market value of the instrument underlying the contract, but not less than the market price at which the futures contract was established, for short futures contracts. The Direxion Auspice Broad Commodity Strategy ETF (Consolidated) and Direxion Flight to Safety Strategy ETF (Consolidated) were invested in futures contracts as of the year ended October 31, 2021.

d) Risks of Futures Contracts, Options on Futures Contracts and Short Positions – The risks inherent in the use of options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts and short positions include 1) adverse changes in the fair value of such instruments; 2) imperfect correlation between the price of options and futures contracts and options thereon and

DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT
60


movements in the price of the underlying securities, index or futures contracts; 3) the possible absence of a liquid secondary market for any particular instrument at any time; 4) the possible need to defer closing out certain positions to avoid adverse tax consequences; and 5) the possible non-performance by the counterparty under the terms of the contract. The Funds designate cash, cash equivalents and liquid securities as collateral for written options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts and short positions. The Funds were not invested in any type of options during the period ended October 31, 2021.

e) Risks of Investing in Foreign Securities – Investments in foreign securities involve greater risks than investing in domestic securities. As a result, the Funds' returns and net asset values may be affected to a large degree by fluctuations in currency exchange rates, political, diplomatic or economic conditions and regulatory requirements in other countries. The laws, accounting and financial reporting standards in foreign countries may require less disclosure than required in the U.S., and therefore there may be less public information available about foreign companies. Investments in foreign emerging markets present a greater risk than investing in foreign issuers in general. The risk of political or social upheaval is greater in emerging markets. In addition, there may be risks of an economy's dependence on revenues from particular commodities, currency transfer restrictions, a limited number of potential buyers for such securities and delays and disruption in securities settlement procedures.

f) Foreign Currency Translation – The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The fair value of foreign securities, currency holdings, and other assets and liabilities is recorded in the books and records of the Funds after translation to U.S. dollars based on the exchange rates on that day. The cost of each security is determined using historical exchange rates. Income and withholding taxes are translated at prevailing exchange rates when earned or incurred. The Funds do not isolate that portion of realized or unrealized gains or losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rate on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of the securities. Such gains and losses are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net realized exchange gains or losses on disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation and depreciation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments at the period end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.

g) Basis for Consolidation – The Direxion Auspice Broad Commodity Strategy ETF may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Direxion BCS Fund Ltd. ("BCS Fund"). The BCS Fund, which is organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands, is wholly-owned and controlled by the Direxion Auspice Broad Commodity Strategy ETF. The BCS Fund acts as an investment vehicle to facilitate entering into certain investments for the Direxion Auspice Broad Commodity Strategy ETF consistent with the Fund's investment objectives and policies specified in its prospectus and statement of additional information and within the limitation of the U.S. federal tax requirements applicable to regulated investment companies. As of October 31, 2021, the net assets of the Direxion Auspice Broad Commodity Strategy ETF were $253,430,938 of which $58,218,591, or approximately 23.0%, represented the Direxion Auspice Broad Commodity Strategy ETF's ownership of all issued shares and voting rights of the BCS Fund. All intercompany balances, revenues and expenses have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Direxion Flight to Safety Strategy ETF may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Direxion FTS Fund Ltd. ("FTS Fund"). The FTS Fund, which is organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands, is wholly-owned and controlled by the Direxion Flight to Safety Strategy ETF. The FTS Fund acts as an investment vehicle to facilitate entering into certain investments for the Direxion Flight to Safety Strategy ETF consistent with the Fund's investment objectives and policies specified in its prospectus and statement of additional information and within the limitation of the U.S. federal tax requirements applicable to regulated investment companies. As of October 31, 2021, the net assets of the Direxion Flight to Safety Strategy ETF were $14,960,967 of which $2,956,283, or approximately 19.8%, represented the Direxion Flight to Safety Strategy ETF's ownership of all issued shares and voting rights of the FTS Fund. All intercompany balances, revenues and expenses have been eliminated in consolidation.

h) Risks of Investing Commodity-Linked Derivatives – The Direxion Auspice Broad Commodity Strategy ETF and Direxion Flight to Safety Strategy ETF, through their investments in the subsidiary, may hold commodity-linked derivatives. Commodity-linked derivatives provide exposure, which may include long and/or short exposure, to the investment returns of physical commodities that trade in the commodities markets without investing directly in physical commodities. The value of a commodity-linked derivative investment typically is based upon the price movements of a physical commodity (such as heating

DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT
61


oil, precious metals, livestock, or agricultural products), a commodity futures contract or commodity index, or some other readily measurable economic variable. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, volatility of the underlying benchmark, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments. The value of commodity-linked derivatives will rise or fall in response to changes in the underlying commodity or related index. Investments in commodity-linked derivatives may be subject to greater volatility than non-derivative based investments. A highly liquid secondary market may not exist for certain commodity-linked derivatives, and there can be no assurance that one will develop. The Direxion Auspice Broad Commodity Strategy ETF and the Direxion Flight to Safety Strategy ETF held commodity-linked derivatives during the period ended October 31, 2021.

i) Security Transactions – Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. The Funds determine the gain or loss realized from investment transactions by comparing the identified cost, which is the same basis used for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, with the net sales proceeds.

j) Securities Lending – Each Fund may lend up to 331/3% of the value of the securities in their portfolios to approved brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Fund collateral consisting of cash, cash equivalents, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government. The collateral received by each Fund is required to have a value of at least 102% of the current value of the loaned securities. During the term of the loan, each Fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities but does not receive interest income on securities received as collateral. Each Fund receives compensation for lending its securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash, cash equivalents or U.S. Government securities held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to borrower and net of fees paid to the lending agent. The amount of fees depends on a number of factors including the security type and the length of the loan. In addition, a Fund will receive a fee from the borrower for non-cash collateral equal to a percentage of the market value of the loaned securities. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions. No more than 99% of the value of any security may be on loan at any time.

As of October 31, 2021, all securities on loan were collateralized by cash and/or U.S. government obligations. The cash received as collateral for securities on loan was invested in money market funds, whose maturities are overnight and continuous, and is disclosed in the Schedules of Investments. The securities on loan in each Fund are also disclosed in the Schedule of Investments. The total value of securities loaned and the value of the invested cash collateral are disclosed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Non-cash collateral consists of U.S. Treasury securities and is not disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as its held by the lending agent on behalf of the Funds, and the Funds do not have the ability to sell, reinvest or pledge those securities. Income earned by the Funds from securities lending is disclosed in the Statements of Operations.

The risks of securities lending include the risk that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due. To mitigate these risks, the Funds are contractually indemnified with the securities lending agent. Furthermore, the Funds require the value of the securities loaned to be computed daily at the close of the market and additional collateral be furnished, if required.

As of October 31, 2021, the market value of the securities loaned and the related cash and non-cash collateral received for securities lending were as follows:

DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT

k) Federal Income Taxes – Each Fund intends to make the requisite distributions of income and capital gains to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company. Therefore, no provision for U.S. Federal income tax has been made by the Funds.

The Funds may be subject to a nondeductible 4% U.S. excise tax calculated as a percentage of certain undistributed amounts of net investment income and net capital gains. No Funds paid this excise tax during the period ended October 31, 2021.

l) Income and Expenses – Interest income, including amortization of premiums and discounts, is recognized on an accrual basis. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Funds are charged for those expenses that are directly attributable to each series, such as advisory fees. Expenses that are not directly attributable to a series are generally allocated among the Trust's series in proportion to their respective average daily net assets. Expenses are charged to the Funds daily. Expenses are computed based on each Fund's respective average daily net assets. For additional discussion on expenses, refer to Note 6.

m) Distributions to Shareholders – Each Fund pays dividends from net investment income and distributes net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with U.S. Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Certain Funds also utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemptions of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

n) Guarantees and Indemnifications – In the ordinary course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification provisions pursuant to which the Funds agree to indemnify third parties upon the occurrence of specified events. The Funds' maximum exposure relating to these indemnification agreements is unknown. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses in connection with these provisions and believe the risk of loss is remote.

o) Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3.  INCOME TAX AND DISTRIBUTION INFORMATION

The tax character of distributions paid during the periods ended October 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020 are presented in the following table. The tax character of distributions to shareholders made during the periods may differ from their ultimate characterization for U.S. Federal income tax purposes.

The difference between the book cost of investments and the tax cost of investments is primarily attributable to tax deferral of losses on wash sales and basis adjustments on investments in real estate investment trusts ("REITs").

On the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, the following adjustments were made for permanent tax differences between accounting for total distributable earnings and capital stock under GAAP and tax reporting:

GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the year ended October 31, 2021, the permanent differences primarily relate to tax treatment of redemptions in-kind, net operating losses and the utilization of earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares.

In order to meet certain U.S. excise tax distribution requirements, each Fund is required to measure and distribute annually net capital gains realized during a twelve month period ending October 31 and net investment income earned during a twelve month period ending December 31. In connection with this, these Funds are permitted for tax purposes to defer into their next fiscal year qualified late year losses. Qualified late year ordinary losses are generally losses incurred between January 1 and the end of their fiscal year, October 31, 2021.

At October 31, 2021, the Funds deferred, on a tax basis, no qualified late year losses.

Under current law, each Fund may carry forward net capital losses indefinitely to use to offset capital gains realized in future years and their character is retained as either short-term and/or long-term.

At October 31, 2021, for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, the following Funds had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future capital gains:

The Funds follow authoritative financial reporting rules regarding recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Management has reviewed all open tax years and concluded that there is no effect to the Funds' financial positions or results of operations and no tax liability was required to be recorded resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During this period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. Open tax years are those years that are open for examination by the relevant income taxing authority. As of October 31, 2021, open U.S. Federal and state income tax years include the tax years ended October 31, 2018 through October 31, 2021. The Funds have no examinations in progress. The Funds are also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax expense will significantly change in the next twelve months.

4.  CREATION AND REDEMPTION TRANSACTIONS AND TRANSACTION FEES

Fund must have entered into an authorized participant agreement with the principal underwriter and the transfer agent, or purchase through a dealer that has entered into such an agreement. Transactions in shares for each Fund include both cash and in-kind transactions and are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

Transaction fees are imposed to cover the costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units. There is a fixed and a variable component to the total transaction fee. A fixed transaction fee is paid to the transfer agent and is applicable to each creation or redemption transaction, regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased or redeemed. In addition, a variable transaction fee equal to a percentage of the value of each Creation Unit purchased or redeemed is applicable to each creation or redemption transaction and is paid to the Fund. Not all Funds will have a transaction fee associated with capital share activity for the year. Transaction fees received by each Fund are presented in the Capital Share Transaction section of the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

5.  INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

The table below presents each Fund's investment transactions during the period ended October 31, 2021. Purchases represent the aggregate purchases of investments excluding the cost of in-kind purchases, short-term investment purchases, swaps and futures contracts. Sales represent the aggregate sales of investments excluding proceeds from in-kind sales, short-term investments, swaps and futures contracts. Purchases in-kind are the aggregate of all in-kind purchases and sales in-kind are the aggregate of all proceeds from in-kind sales. The transactions for each of these categories are as follows:

The Board has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. In accordance with the Plan, each Fund is authorized to charge an amount up to 0.25% of its average daily net assets each year for certain distribution-related activities and shareholder services. No 12b-1 fees were charged by any Fund.

7.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Funds follow authoritative fair valuation accounting standards, which establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels below:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2 – Evaluated price based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar securities in inactive markets, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

For further detail on each asset class, see each Fund's Schedule of Investments.

* Futures contracts and total return swap contracts are valued at the unrealized appreciation/(depreciation).

The Funds also follow authoritative accounting standards, which require additional disclosure regarding fair value measurements. Specifically, these standards require reporting entities to disclose a) the input and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements, for Level 2 or Level 3 positions, b) transfers between all levels (including Level 1 and Level 2) on a gross basis (i.e. transfers out must be disclosed separately from transfers in) as well as the reason(s) for the transfers and c) purchases and sales on a gross basis in the Level 3 rollforward rather than as one net number. Additionally, reporting entities are required to disclose quantitative information about unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

8.  VALUATION OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Funds follow authoritative standards of accounting for derivative instruments, which establish disclosure requirements for derivative instruments. These standards improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosures that enable investors to understand how and why a fund uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments are accounted for and how derivative instruments affect a fund's financial position and results of operations.

Certain Funds use derivative instruments as part of their principal investment strategy to achieve their investment objective. For additional discussion on the risks associated with derivative instruments refer to Note 2. As of October 31, 2021, certain Funds were invested in swap contracts. At October 31, 2021, the fair values of derivative instruments, by primary risk, were as follows:

9.  PRINCIPAL RISKS

Below are some of the principal risks of investing in the Funds. Please refer to the Funds' prospectus for a full discussion.

Counterparty Risk – A Fund will be subject to credit risk with respect to the amount it expects to receive from counterparties to financial instruments entered into by the Fund. The Funds' counterparties are generally required to post collateral to the Funds to the extent of the Funds' daily exposure to such counterparties. However, to the extent any such collateral is insufficient, the Funds will be exposed to counterparty risk as described in this paragraph. In addition, there may be a delay associated with realization by the Funds of the collateral posted by such counterparties in the event of counterparty default or bankruptcy. A Fund may be negatively impacted if a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties. A Fund may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in a bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding, and a Fund may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances.

Sector Concentration Risk – The risk of concentrating investments in a limited number of issuers in a particular industry is that a Fund will be more susceptible to the risks associated with that industry than a Fund that does not concentrate its investments.

Daily Index Correlation/Tracking Risk – A number of factors may affect a Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with its benchmark, and there can be no guarantee that a Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation. A failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent a Fund from achieving its investment objective. A number of factors may adversely affect a Fund's correlation with its benchmark, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, costs associated with the use of leveraged investment techniques, income items, accounting standards, and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests. A Fund may not have investment exposure to all securities in its underlying benchmark index, or its weighting of investment exposure to such stocks or industries may be different from that of the index. In addition, a Fund may invest in securities or financial instruments not included in the index underlying its benchmark. A Fund may be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or under-exposed to its benchmark. Activities surrounding annual index reconstitutions and other index rebalancing or reconstitution events may hinder the Funds' ability to meet their daily investment objective on that day. Each Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio daily to keep leverage consistent with its daily investment objective.

Derivatives Risk – The Fund's investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other investments, including risk related to the market, leverage, imperfect daily correlations with underlying investments or the Fund's other portfolio holdings, higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty risk, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions.

DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT
71


In addition, the Fund's investments in derivatives are subject to the following risks:

•  Swap Agreements. Swap agreements are entered into primarily with major global financial institutions for a specified period which may range from one day to more than one year. In a standard swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined reference assets or underlying securities or instruments. The gross return to be exchanged or swapped between the parties is calculated based on a notional amount or the return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a basket of securities representing a particular index or an ETF that seeks to track an index. Swaps are subject to counterparty, valuation and leveraging risks.

•  Futures Contracts. Futures contracts are typically exchange-traded contracts that call for the future delivery of an asset at a certain price and date, or cash settlement of the terms of the contract. There may be an imperfect correlation between the changes in market value of the securities held by the Fund and the prices of futures contracts. Futures contracts are subject to liquidity risks; there may not be a liquid secondary market for the futures contracts and the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction. Exchanges may also limit the number of positions that can be held or controlled by the Fund or the Adviser, thus limiting the ability of the Fund to implement its leveraged investment strategy. Futures markets are highly volatile and the use of futures may increase the Fund's volatility. Futures contracts are also subject to leverage risk.

Foreign Securities Risk – Investments in foreign securities directly or indirectly through investments in exchange traded funds which track foreign securities involve greater risks than investing in domestic securities. As a result, the Funds' returns and net asset values may be affected to a large degree by fluctuations in currency exchange rates, political, diplomatic or economic conditions and regulatory requirements in other countries. The laws, accounting and financial reporting standards in foreign countries may require less disclosure than required in the U.S., and therefore there may be less public information available about foreign companies. Investments in foreign emerging markets present a greater risk than investing in foreign issuers in general. The risk of political or social upheaval is greater in emerging markets. In addition, there may be risks of an economy's dependence on revenues from particular commodities, currency transfer restrictions, a limited number of potential buyers for such securities and delays and disruption in securities settlement procedures.

Currency Exchange Rate Risk – Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the value of the Fund's investments in securities denominated in a country's currency. Generally, when the U.S. Dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, an investment in that country loses value because that currency is worth fewer U.S. Dollars. Devaluation of a currency by a country's government or banking authority also will have a significant impact on the value of any investments denominated in that currency. If the Fund is exposed to a limited number of currencies, any change in the value of these currencies could have a material impact on the Fund's net asset value.

Leverage Risk – Leverage offers a means of magnifying market movements into larger changes in an investment's value and provides greater investment exposure than an unleveraged investment. Swap and futures contracts may be used to create leverage. Certain Funds employ leveraged investment techniques to achieve its investment objective.

Liquidity Risk – In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the securities or financial instruments in which a Fund invests, a Fund might not be able to dispose of certain holdings quickly or at prices that represent fair market value in the judgment of the Adviser. Additionally, certain counterparties may have the ability to demand repayment at any time, thereby exposing the Fund to the risk that it may be required to liquidate investments at an inopportune time. This may prevent a Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or from achieving a high correlation or inverse correlation with its underlying index.

Market Disruption Risk – Geopolitical and other events, including public health crises and natural disasters, have recently led to increased market volatility and significant market losses. Significant market volatility and market downturns may limit a Fund's ability to sell securities and the Fund's sales may exacerbate the market volatility and downturn. Under such circumstances, a Fund may have difficulty achieving its investment objective for one or more trading days, which may adversely impact the Fund's returns on those days and periods inclusive of those days. Alternatively, the Fund may incur higher costs in order to achieve its investment objective and may be forced to purchase and sell securities (including other ETFs' shares) at market prices that do not represent their fair value (including in the case of an ETF, its net asset value) or at

DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT
72


times that result in differences between the price the Fund receives for the security and the market closing price of the security. Under those circumstances, the Fund's ability to track its index is likely to be adversely affected, the market price of Fund shares may reflect a greater premium or discount to net asset value, and bid-ask spreads in the Fund's shares may widen, resulting in increased transaction costs for secondary market purchasers and sellers. The Fund may also incur additional tracking error due to the use of other securities that are not perfectly correlated to the Fund's index.

The recent pandemic spread of the novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 has proven to be a market disrupting event. The impact of this virus, like other pandemics that may arise in the future, has negatively affected and may continue to negatively affect the economies of many nations, companies and the global securities and commodities markets, including by reducing liquidity in the markets. Adverse effects may be more pronounced for developing or emerging market countries that have less established health care systems. How long such events will last and whether they will continue or recur cannot be predicted.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the Funds' financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

We have served as the auditor of one or more of the Direxion investment companies since 2001.

The Funds are designating as long-term capital gain dividends, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 852(b)(3), the amount necessary to reduce the earnings and profits of the Funds related to net capital gain to zero for the tax year ended October 31, 2021. To the extent necessary to fully distribute such capital gain, the Funds also designate earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on the redemption of shares.

Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 853, the Direxion Hydrogen ETF elects to pass-through to shareholders the credit for taxes paid for foreign countries, which may be less than the actual amount paid for financial statement purposes. For the tax year ended October 31, 2021, the amount of Foreign Source Income is $0.19323566 per share and the amount of Foreign Tax Passthrough is $0.02804056 per share.

Householding

In an effort to decrease costs, the Funds intend to reduce the number of duplicate prospectuses, Annual and Semi-Annual Reports, proxy statements and other similar documents you receive by sending only one copy of each to those addresses shared by two or more accounts and to shareholders we reasonably believe are from the same family or household. Householding begins once you have signed your account application. After such time, if you would like to discontinue householding for your accounts, please call toll-free at (800) 851-0511 to request individual copies of these documents. Once the Funds receive notice to stop householding, we will begin sending individual copies thirty days after receiving your request. This policy does not apply to account statements.

Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)

Provided below is a summary of certain of the factors the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Direxion Shares ETF Trust (the "Trust"), including the trustees who are not "interested persons" as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, (the "Independent Trustees"), considered in approving the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement") between Rafferty Asset Management, LLC (the "Adviser") and the Trust, on behalf of the Direxion Low Priced Stock ETF at the May 18, 2021 meeting, a series of the Trust (the "Fund"). The Board, including the trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 Act, as amended (the "Independent Trustees"), unanimously approved the Agreement on behalf of the Fund. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined that the terms of the Agreement for the Fund were fair and reasonable and in the best interests of shareholders.

The Board did not identify any particular information that was most relevant to its consideration to approve the Agreement and each Trustee may have afforded different weight or importance to different factors. The Board considered, among others, the following factors to the extent applicable: (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided; (2) the projected profitability to the Adviser based upon its services to be provided to the Fund; (3) the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as the Fund grows; (4) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of the Fund's shareholders; (5) comparisons of services and fees with contracts entered into by the Adviser with other clients (such as institutional investors), if any; and (6) other benefits anticipated to be derived and identified by the Adviser from its relationship with the Fund.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided under the Agreement by the Adviser. Based on written materials received, a presentation from senior representatives of the Adviser and a discussion with the Adviser about its personnel, operations and financial condition, the Board considered the quality of the services provided by the Adviser under the Agreement. In this regard, the Board considered information regarding the experience, qualifications and professional background of the portfolio managers and other personnel at the Adviser with principal responsibility for the Fund, as well as the capacity and integrity of the Adviser's senior management and staff. The Board noted that the Adviser has provided services to the Trust since its inception date and has developed an expertise in managing funds with investment strategies similar to the Fund. The Board considered the Adviser's representations that it has the financial resources and appropriate staffing to manage the Fund and to meet its fee waiver and expense obligations thereto. The Board considered that the Adviser will oversee all aspects of the operation of the Fund, including oversight of the Fund's service providers, and provide compliance services to the Fund. The Board observed that because the Fund had not commenced operations, it did not have any prior performance history. Under the totality of the circumstances, the Board determined that, in the exercise of its business judgment, the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser to the Fund under the Agreement were fair and reasonable.

Costs of Services Provided to the Fund and Profits Realized. The Board considered the fairness and reasonableness of the investment advisory fee rate to be paid to the Adviser by the Fund, including in light of the investment advisory services to be provided by the Adviser. The Board considered the fees to be paid to the Adviser on an annual basis, including as limited by the Operating Services Agreement. The Board considered the proposed advisory fee rate and net expense ratio for the Fund was similar to those of comparable exchange-traded funds and to those of similar series of the Trust.

The Board further considered the overall profitability of the Adviser's investment business and, because the Fund had not commenced operations and the Adviser had no prior profit data related to the Fund, the Board considered the break-even analysis provided by the Adviser for the Fund. The Board considered the significant drivers of cost for the Adviser including, but not limited to, intellectual capital, portfolio rebalancing, regulatory compliance, and entrepreneurial risk. Based on these considerations, the Board determined that, in the exercise of its business judgment, the costs of the services to be provided and any profits that may be realized under the Agreement was not excessive.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether economies of scale may be realized by the Fund as it grows larger and the extent to which any such economies of scale are reflected in contractual fee rates. Noting that the Fund had not yet commenced operations and did not yet have any assets, the Board concluded that economies of scale were not a material factor for the Board to consider in approving the Agreement.

Other Benefits. The Board considered the Adviser's representation that its relationship with the Fund may enable it to attract assets to the other funds. The Board also considered that the Adviser's overall business with brokerage firms may allow it to negotiate lower commission rates and get better execution for all of its portfolio trades. Based on these and

78


Direxion Shares ETF Trust

Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)

other considerations, the Board determined that such benefits to the Adviser would likely not be material and, overall, would be reasonable.

Conclusion. The Board did not identify any single factor as being of paramount importance, and different Trustees may have given different weight to different factors. The Board reviewed a memorandum from counsel discussing the legal standards applicable to its consideration of the Agreement. Based on its review, including consideration of each of the factors referenced above, and its consideration of information received throughout the year from the Adviser, the Board determined, in the exercise of its business judgment, that the advisory arrangements, as outlined in the Agreement, were fair and reasonable in light of the services performed, or to be performed, expenses incurred, or to be incurred and such other matters as the Board considered relevant.

Direxion Shares ETF Trust

Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)

Consistent with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Direxion Shares ETF Trust (the "ETF Trust") annually considers the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement") between Rafferty Asset Management, LLC (the "Adviser") and the ETF Trust, on behalf of the Direxion Auspice Broad Commodity Strategy ETF, along with its wholly owned subsidiary, the Direxion BCS Fund, Ltd., Direxion Dynamic Hedge ETF, Direxion Fallen Knives ETF, Direxion Flight to Safety Strategy ETF, along with its wholly owned subsidiary, the Direxion FTS Fund, Ltd., Direxion NASDAQ-100® Equal Weighted Index Shares, Direxion Work From Home ETF, Direxion Russell 1000® Growth Over Value ETF, and the Direxion Russell 1000® Value Over Growth ETF, each a series of the ETF Trust. The Agreement is initially approved for a two-year period and must be renewed yearly thereafter to remain in effect. Each series of the ETF Trust is referred to herein as a "Fund" and collectively as the "Funds."

At a meeting held on August 18, 2021, the Board, including the trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust as defined in the 1940 Act (the "Independent Trustees"), unanimously approved the renewal of the Agreement on behalf of the Funds. The Independent Trustees had previously considered information pertaining to the renewal of the Agreement outside the presence of the Adviser's representatives and Fund management in executive sessions held on August 4, 2021 and August 18, 2021.

In considering whether to renew the Agreement, the Board requested, and the Adviser provided, information that the Board and Adviser believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the Agreement. Among other information, the Board obtained and reviewed the following:

•  Detailed information regarding the advisory services provided by the Adviser to the Funds;

•  The Adviser's Form ADV;

•  Information about the professional qualifications of those employees primarily responsible for providing services to the Funds;

•  Information regarding each component of the contractual advisory fee rates for the prior fiscal year;

•  Information regarding advisory fees earned and waivers made by the Adviser in connection with providing services to the Funds for the prior fiscal year or since inception, if shorter;

•  Information regarding fees paid to the Adviser under, and an evaluation of the services provided per, the Management Services Agreement for the prior fiscal year;

•  Performance information;

•  Comparative industry fee data, including peer group comparisons;

•  Information regarding the consolidated financial condition of the Adviser and the profitability to the Adviser;

•  Information regarding how the Adviser monitors the Funds' compliance with regulatory requirements and ETF Trust procedures.

The Board considered that, with respect to most Funds, they had also received information relevant to their consideration since the Fund's inception and, most recently, throughout the past year at regular Board meetings in connection with their oversight of the Funds, including information bearing on the Funds' service provider arrangements and performance results. In addition, the Board received a memorandum from counsel regarding its responsibilities with respect to the approval of the Agreement and participated in a question and answer session with representatives of the Adviser. The Board carefully evaluated the relevant information and the Independent Trustees were advised by legal counsel with respect to their deliberations.

The Board did not identify any particular information that was most relevant to its consideration to approve the Agreement and each Trustee may have afforded different weight or importance to different factors. For each Fund, the Board considered, among others, the following factors to the extent applicable: (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided; (2) the investment performance; (3) the profitability of the Fund and the advisory business to the Adviser; (4) the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of the Fund's shareholders; (5) comparisons of services and fees with contracts entered into by the Adviser with other clients (such as institutional investors), if any; and (6) other benefits derived or anticipated to be derived and identified by the Adviser from its relationship with the Fund.

Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided. The Board reviewed, among other matters, the Adviser's business, assets under management, financial resources and capitalization, quality and quantity of personnel, experience, the variety and complexity of its investment strategies, brokerage practices, and the adequacy of its compliance systems and processes. The Board reviewed the scope of services provided, and to be provided by the Adviser under the Agreement and noted there would be no significant differences between the scope of services provided by the Adviser in the past year and those to be provided in the upcoming year. The Board also considered the Adviser's representation to the Board that it would continue to provide investment and related services that are of materially the same quality as the services that have been provided to the Funds in the past and whether those services remain appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Funds' operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs.

The Board focused on the quality of the Adviser's personnel and operations and the systems and processes required to manage the Funds effectively, and noted that these systems and processes may not be present at other investment advisers. In particular the Board considered, as applicable: (1) the Adviser's success in achieving each Fund's investment objective; (2) differences between managing leveraged and non-leveraged portfolios, which include developing index optimization and representative sampling investment strategies as well as specialized skills for trading complex financial instruments; (3) the Adviser's ability to manage the Funds in a tax efficient manner; and (4) the size, professional experience and skills of the Adviser's portfolio management staff and the Adviser's ability to recruit, train and retain personnel with the relevant experience and expertise necessary to manage the Funds. The Board considered that the Adviser oversees all aspects of the operation of the relevant Funds, including oversight of the Funds' service providers, and provides compliance services to the Funds.

Comparison of Advisory Services and Fees. The Board considered the fairness and reasonableness of the investment advisory fee rate payable to the Adviser by each Fund in light of the investment advisory services provided by the Adviser. The Board further considered the fairness and reasonableness of the investment advisory fee rate payable to the Adviser by each Fund in light of fee rates paid by other investment companies offering strategies similar in nature to the Funds. In this regard, the Board reviewed information prepared by the Adviser, using data provided by Morningstar, Inc., to compare the Funds' actual advisory fee rates, and gross and net total expenses with those of other funds with common key characteristics, such as asset size, investment objective or industry focus ("Peer Group"). The Board noted the difficulty in compiling the Peer Group because, by design, each Fund is unique and, therefore, few (if any) fund complexes have funds with substantially similar investment objectives and operations. They noted that an independent consultant in 2019 had advised the Board on the Peer Group selection methodology and that the methodology employed in 2021 was the same as that reviewed by the independent consultant.

The Board noted that the comparison reports included the contractual advisory fee and net and gross total expense ratios for each Fund and each Peer Group fund. The Board considered that the Adviser had agreed to limit the total expenses of the Funds (subject to certain exclusions) for the next year by contractually agreeing to pay certain expenses of the Funds under a separate Operating Services Agreement.

Performance of the Funds. The Board focused on the correlation of each Fund's return to the model performance return or the returns of the index it tracks, for the periods ending June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 or since inception if a Fund did not have two full years of operations. In this regard, the Board considered each Fund's return against its index' return ("Tracking Difference"), the standard deviation of the Tracking Differences, and a tracking error analysis provided by the Adviser. The Board also reviewed the total return of each Fund for the one-year or, if shorter, since inception period ended June 30, 2021. The Board considered reports provided to it in anticipation of the meeting, as well as performance reports provided at regular Board meetings throughout the year. The Board noted that the correlation of returns for each Fund to its model or index performance was generally within reasonable ranges during the reviewed periods. The Board considered that, given the investment objectives of the Funds, the correlation of each such Fund's performance with the model performance and Tracking Error were more meaningful indicia of the quality of the Advisor's management than a Fund's total return.

Costs of Services Provided to the Funds and Profits Realized by the Adviser. The Board reviewed information regarding the profitability of the Adviser based on the fee rates payable under the Agreement. The Board considered the profitability of each Fund and the overall profitability of the Adviser, as reflected in the Adviser's profitability analysis, as well as information provided by the Adviser concerning the methodology used to allocate various expenses. The Board also

DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT
81


Direxion Shares ETF Trust

Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)

considered the significant drivers of cost for the Adviser including, but not limited to, intellectual capital, the dedication of personnel resources to portfolio management activities, regulatory compliance, and entrepreneurial risk. The Board further considered a report on other investment advisers' profitability, which was compiled using publicly available information. The Board recognized that it is difficult to compare profitability among investment advisory firms because certain information is not publicly available. Further, to the extent such information is available, the Board acknowledged that it is affected by numerous factors, including the nature of a firm's fund shareholder base, the structure of the adviser and its tax status, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, assumptions regarding allocations and the reporting of operating profits and net income net (rather than gross) of distribution and marketing expenses.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered the asset levels of the Funds and the fact that the size of the Funds is relatively low and assets may fluctuate significantly, and that these facts make economies of scale elusive.

Other Benefits. The Board considered indirect and "fall-out" benefits that the Adviser or its affiliates may derive from their relationship to the Funds. Such benefits include the Adviser's ability to leverage its investment management personnel or infrastructure to manage other accounts. In this regard, the Board noted that the Funds pay a management services fee to the Adviser.

Conclusion. Based on, but not limited to, the above considerations and determinations, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined that the Agreement for the Funds is fair and reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services to be performed, the fee rates to be paid, the Adviser's expenses and such other matters as the Board considered relevant in the exercise of its business judgment. Accordingly, the Board concluded that the continuation of the Agreement was in the best interests of the shareholders of the Funds. On this basis, the Board unanimously voted in favor of the renewal of the Agreement.

Board Review of Liquidity Risk Management Program (Unaudited)

Consistent with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Liquidity Rule"), the Direxion Shares ETF Trust (the "Trust"), on behalf of each series of the Trust (the "Funds"), established a liquidity risk management program (the "Liquidity Program") to assess and manage each Fund's liquidity risk, which is the risk that a Fund is unable to meet investor redemption requests without significantly diluting the remaining investors' interests in the Fund.

At its November 19, 2021 meeting, the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Trust reviewed the Liquidity Program. The Board has appointed Rafferty Asset Management, LLC, the investment advisor to the Funds, as the Liquidity Program administrator. At the meeting, Rafferty Asset Management, LLC provided the Board with a written report that addressed the operation of the Funds' Liquidity Program and assessed the adequacy and effectiveness of the implementation of the Liquidity Program (the "Report"). The Report covered the period from November 1, 2020 through October 31, 2021 (the "Report Period"). The Report noted the following:

•  The Liquidity Program supported each Fund's ability to meet redemption requests timely;

•  The Liquidity Program supported Rafferty Asset Management, LLC's management of each Fund's liquidity, including during periods of market volatility and net redemptions;

•  No material liquidity issues were identified during the report period;

•  There were no material changes to the Liquidity Program during the report period; and

•  The Liquidity Program operated adequately during the report period.

The Report also described the Liquidity Program's liquidity classification methodology for categorizing a Fund's investment (including derivative transactions) into one of four liquidity buckets as required by the Liquidity Rule. The Report stated that the Liquidity Program is operating as intended and is effective in implementing the requirements of the Liquidity Rule.

There can be no assurance that the Liquidity Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to your Fund's prospectus for more information regarding the Fund's exposure to liquidity risk and other risks.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

 

The registrant’s board of trustees has determined that there is at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee. Kathleen M. Berkery is the “audit committee financial expert” and is considered to be “independent” as each term is defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR.

 

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

 

The registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services during the past two fiscal years. “Audit services” refer to performing an audit of the registrant's annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years. “Audit-related services” refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit. “Tax services” refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning, including assessment of ASC 740 for the Funds and additional tax research. There were no “Other services” provided by the principal accountant. The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for each of the last two fiscal years for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant. The table presents aggregate fees billed to the registrant and reflected in the financial statements of the report to shareholders.

All Other Fees   0%   0%

 

 

 

 

(f) All of the principal accountant’s hours spent on auditing the registrant’s financial statements were attributed to work performed by full-time permanent employees of the principal accountant.

 

(g) The following table indicates the non-audit fees, other than the tax services as noted above, billed or expected to be billed by the registrant’s accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant’s investment adviser (and any other controlling entity, etc.—not sub-adviser) for the last two years.

 

Non-Audit Related Fees  FYE  10/31/2021  FYE  10/31/2020
Registrant  None   None
Registrant’s Investment Adviser  None   None

 

(h) The audit committee of the board of trustees has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant's investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant’s independence.
