Letter to Shareholders
 
Dear Shareholders,
 
This Semi-Annual Report for the Direxion Shares covers the period from November 5th, 2008 to April 30th, 2009, (the “Semi-Annual Period”). The first four months of the six-month period were marked by severe distress in the economy and, in particular, the financial sector, with market volatility at perhaps its highest measured levels. Governments across the globe provided massive stimulus to keep the economy flowing and also became involved in the financial sector to an unprecedented extent. By the end of the period, the markets had recovered much of their earlier losses and volatility had returned to more customary levels.
 
The Direxion Shares exchange traded funds seek to provide daily returns which are a multiple — positive or negative — of the daily return of a particular benchmark. Particularly in periods of heightened volatility, the ETFs should be used by investors as short-term trading vehicles. As a consequence, we do not believe that investors should buy and hold the funds. Nevertheless, investors should understand the investment performance of the funds’ on a daily basis and through time. The ETFs are not suitable for all investors and should be utilized only by sophisticated investors who understand leverage risk, consequences of seeking daily leveraged investment results and intend to actively monitor and manage their investments.
 
Direxion maintains models which indicate the expected performance of each ETF in light of the path of the relevant benchmark (the “Target Index”) and the fund’s expense ratios. The models, and a description of how they work, are available on the Direxion Shares website (www.direxionshares.com) under Tools/Tracking Center. The models do not take into account the size of a fund or any transaction fees associated with creating or maintaining a fund’s portfolio. A brief comparison of the actual returns versus the expected returns for each of the funds during the Semi-Annual Period is as follows below.
 
The Direxion Daily Large Cap Bull 3x Shares and the Direxion Daily Large Cap Bear 3x Shares seek to provide 300% and -300% of the return of the Russell 1000 Index, respectively. For the period, the Target Index returned -7.37%. The Direxion Daily Large Cap Bull 3x Shares returned -50.07% and Direxion Daily Large Cap Bear 3x Shares returned -25.82%.

Table of Contents

Expense Examples
April 30, 2009 (Unaudited)
 
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 the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
 
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (November 1, 2008 to April 30, 2009).
 
Actual expenses
 
The first line under each Fund in the table below 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 the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
 
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
 
The second line under each Fund in the table 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Premium/Discount Summary Table
(Unaudited)
 
The tables that follow present information about the differences between the daily market price on secondary markets for shares of a Fund and that Fund’s net asset value. Net asset value, or “NAV”, is the price per share at which each Fund issues and redeems shares. It is calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The “Market Price” of each Fund generally is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the stock exchange on which the shares of such Fund is listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. Each Fund’s Market Price may be at, above or below its NAV. The NAV of each Fund will fluctuate with changes in the market value of its portfolio holdings. The Market Price of each Fund will fluctuate in accordance with changes in its NAV, as well as market supply and demand.
 
Premiums or discounts are the differences (expressed as a percentage) between the NAV and Market Price of a Fund on a given day, generally at the time NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that a Fund is trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. A discount is the amount that a Fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV.
 
The following information shows the frequency distributions of premiums and discounts for each of the Funds. The information shown for each Fund is for the period from the inception date of such Fund through April 30, 2009.
 
Each line in the table shows the number of trading days in which the Fund traded within the premium/discount range indicated. The number of trading days in each premium/discount range is also shown as a percentage of the total number of trading days in the period covered by each table. All data presented here represents past performance, which cannot be used to predict future results.

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”). (The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts. The actual results could differ from those estimates.)
 
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, the 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 Funds calculate its NAV as of the time of the recommended close, usually 2:00pm 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 shall be valued using the NASDAQ® Official Closing Price (“NOCP”) provided by NASDAQ® each business day. 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. Dividend income and other distributions are recorded on the ex-distribution date.
 
b) Swap Contracts – The Fund may enter into equity swap contracts. 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). 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 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 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 commissions paid by the Fund on the notional amount. Payments may be made at the conclusion of the contract or periodically during its term. These swap contracts do not include the delivery by the Funds to the counterparty of securities or other underlying securities. The net amount of the excess, if any, of the Fund’s obligations owed over the obligations owed to the Fund 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 futures” and when cash is exchanged, the gain or loss is recorded as “realized gains or losses on swaps and futures”.
 
The Funds may enter into swap agreements for purposes of pursuing their investment objectives or as a substitute for investing directly in securities or to hedge a position. Index swap agreements entered into by the Funds calculate and settle the obligations of the parties to the agreement on a “net basis” with a single payment. Consequently, a Fund’s current obligations (or rights) under a swap agreement will generally be equal only to the net amount to be paid or

received under the agreement based on the relative values of such obligations (or rights) (the “net amount”). In a “long” swap agreement, the counterparty will generally agree to pay the Fund the amount, if any, by which the notional amount of the swap agreement would have increased in value had it been invested in the particular instruments, plus an amount equal to any dividends or interest that would have been received on those instruments. The Fund will agree to pay to the counterparty an amount equal to a floating rate of interest (e.g., a LIBOR based rate) on the notional amount of the swap agreement plus the amount, if any, by which the notional amount would have decreased in value had it been invested in such instruments plus, in certain instances, commissions or trading spreads on the notional amount. Therefore, the return to the Fund on a long swap agreement should be the gain or loss on the notional amount plus dividends or interest on the instruments less the interest and commissions paid by the Fund on the notional amount. These swap agreements do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying instruments.
 
Pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board, the net amount of the excess, if any, of a Fund’s obligations owed over the obligations owed to the Fund with respect to each swap is accrued on a daily basis, and an amount of cash or liquid assets having an aggregate NAV at least equal to such accrued excess is maintained in a segregated account by the Fund’s custodian. Until a swap agreement is settled in cash, the gain or loss on the notional amount plus dividends or interest on the underlying instruments less the interest payable by the Fund on the notional amount are recorded as “unrealized appreciation or depreciation on swap agreements” and when cash is exchanged, the gain or loss realized is recorded as “realized gains or losses on swap agreements.”
 
The Funds may also enter into swap agreements that provide the opposite return of their benchmark index or security (“short” the index or security). Their operations are similar to that of the “long” swaps discussed above, except that the counterparty makes the payments ascribed above to the Fund, and the Fund makes the payments ascribed above to the counterparty. These amounts are netted with any unrealized gain or loss to determine the value of the swap.
 
Swap agreements involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk and exposure to loss in excess of the unrealized gain/loss reflected. The notional amounts reflect the extent of the total investment exposure each Fund has under the swap agreement, which may exceed the NAV of the Fund. The primary risks associated with the use of swap agreements are imperfect correlation between the price of the swap contract and the price of the underlying investments, and the inability of counterparties to perform. A Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of swap agreement counterparty to the extent that posted collateral is insufficient. 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 Advisor.
 
The Funds collateralize swap agreements with cash and certain securities as indicated on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments of each of the Funds, respectively. Such collateral is held for the benefit of the counterparty in a segregated account at the Custodian to protect the counterparty against non-payment by the Funds. In the event of a default by the counterparty, the Funds will seek return of this collateral and may incur certain costs exercising their rights with respect to the collateral. Amounts expected to be owed to the Funds are regularly collateralized either directly with the Funds or in a segregated account at the Custodian.
 
c) Risks of Investing Foreign Securities – Investments in foreign securities involve greater risks than investing in domestic securities. As a result, the Fund’s 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 and accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards in foreign countries typically are not as strict as they are in the U.S., and 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.

d) 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 federal income tax purposes, with the net sales proceeds.
 
e) Federal Income Taxes – Each Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to make the requisite distributions of income and capital gains to its shareholders sufficient to relieve it from all or substantially all federal income and excise taxes.
 
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”) requires the Funds to analyze all open tax years. Open tax years are those years that are open for examination by the relevant income taxing authority. As of April 30, 2009, the Funds have no examination in progress.
 
The Funds have concluded that the adoption of FIN 48 resulted in no effect to the Fund’s financial positions or results of operations. There is no tax liability resulting from uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on the tax returns. 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 twelve months.
 
f) Income and Expenses – Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, including amortization of premium and discount, is recognized on an accrual basis. 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 net assets.
 
g) Distributions to Shareholders – Each Fund generally pays dividends from substantially all of its net investment income and distributes net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with 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.
 
The Funds paid distributions from ordinary income for the period ended April 30, 2009:

h) Indemnification – The Trust Instrument disclaims liability of the shareholders of the officers of the Trust for acts or obligations of the Trust which are binding only on the assets and property of the Trust. The Trust Instrument provides for indemnification from the Trust’s property for all loss and expense of any Fund shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of the Trust. The risk of a Trust shareholder incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which the Funds would not be able to meet the Trust’s obligations and this risk, thus, should be considered remote.
 
i) 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.   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.
 
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 of Shares. 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.

5.   INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
 
Under an Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust, on behalf of each Fund, the Adviser provides a continuous investment program for each Fund’s assets in accordance with its investment objectives, policies and limitations, and oversees the day-to-day operations of a Fund, subject to the supervision of the Trustees. Pursuant to the

Advisory Agreement, each Fund pays the advisor 0.75% at an annual rate based on its average daily net assets. Each Fund is responsible for its own operating expenses.
 
The advisor has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or reimburse the Funds’ operating expenses through March 1, 2010, to the extent that they exceed 0.95% of daily net assets. Any expense waiver is subject to reimbursement by the Funds, as applicable, within the following three years if overall expenses fall below these percentage limitations.
 
For the period ended April 30, 2009, the advisor reimbursed expenses as follows:

6.   SUMMARY OF FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURE
 
The Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement” establishes an authoritative framework for the measurement of fair value, and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. The Funds utilized various inputs in determining the value of each Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels as follows:
 
      Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
 
      Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, 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)

7.   ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES ABOUT DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
 
In March 2008, FASB issued its Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities (“FAS 161”) effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosure that enables investors to understand how and why a fund uses derivatives instruments, how derivatives instruments are accounted for and how derivative instruments affect a fund’s financial position and results of operations.
 
Each Fund uses derivative instruments as part of its principal investment strategy to achieve its investment objective. As of April 30, 2009, the Funds were invested in swap contracts. These contracts expose the Funds to the equity risk of the underlying instruments of the swap contract.
 
As of April 30, 2009 the Funds level, of derivative activity was:

8.   DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLANS
 
The Board of Trustees of the Trust 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 pay 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 are currently being charged to any Fund, and there are currently no plans to impose these fees.
 
9.   RISK
 
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 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.
 
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.
 
Correlation 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.
 
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 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 Advisor. 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.
 
10.   NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
 
In April 2009, FASB issued Staff Position No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (“FSP 157-4”). FSP 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. FSP 157-4 also requires additional disaggregation of the current FAS 157 required disclosures. FSP 157-4 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and will be applied prospectively. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FSP 157-4 and the impact it will have on the financial statement disclosures.

Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreement
April 30, 2009
 
Provided below is a summary of certain of the factors the Board considered at its August 13, 2008 and February 11, 2009 Board meetings in approving advisory agreements (each an “Agreement” and collectively, the “Agreements”) between Rafferty Asset Management (“Rafferty”) and the Direxion Shares ETF Trust (the “Trust”), on behalf of each series of the Trust. The Board at its meeting on August 13, 2008, approved the Agreement related to the Direxion Daily Total Market Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Total Market Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Large Cap Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Large Cap Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Mid Cap Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Mid Cap Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Small Cap Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Small Cap Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Developed Markets Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Developed Markets Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Emerging Markets Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Emerging Markets Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily BRIC Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily BRIC Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily China Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily China Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily India Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily India Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Latin America Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Latin America Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Clean Energy Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Clean Energy Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Energy Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Energy Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Financial Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Financial Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Technology Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Technology Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Real Estate Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Real Estate Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Homebuilders Bull 3X Shares and Direxion Daily Homebuilders Bear 3X Shares, each a series of the Trust (“Funds”). The Board at its meeting on February 11, 2009, approved the Agreement related to the Direxion Daily 2-Year Treasury Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily 2-Year Treasury Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily 5-Year Treasury Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily 5-Year Treasury Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily 10-Year Treasury Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily 10-Year Treasury Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily 30-Year Treasury Bull 3X Shares and Direxion Daily 30-Year Treasury Bear 3X Shares, each a series of the Trust (“Fixed Income Funds”).
 
At neither meeting did the Board identify any particular information that was most relevant to its consideration to approve the Agreements and each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors. At the time that the Board considered each Fund and Fixed Income Fund, it noted that they had not yet commenced operations. Accordingly, the Board at each meeting considered primarily the services to be provided by Rafferty, the management fee rates to be paid to Rafferty and the Funds’ and Fixed Income Funds’ estimated expenses.
 
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided.  At both its August 13, 2008 and February 11, 2009 meetings, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided under the Agreements by Rafferty. The Board noted that Rafferty has managed the Direxion Funds and the Direxion Insurance Trust (“Direxion Mutual Funds”) since their inception and has developed an expertise in managing funds using a leveraged strategy. In addition, the Board at its February 11, 2009 meeting noted that Rafferty has provided services to the Trust since its inception. The Board at both meetings also noted that Rafferty trades for the Direxion Mutual Funds efficiently with low commission rates, which helps improve performance results of these funds. The Board considered Rafferty’s representations that it has the financial resources and appropriate staffing to manage the Funds and the Fixed Income Funds and to meet its contractual fee waivers and/or expense limitations. The Board also considered Rafferty’s representations that Rafferty’s management of the Funds and the Fixed Income Funds would be minimally impacted by the fact that the Funds and the Fixed Income Funds would trade on NYSE Arca, Inc. The Board considered that Rafferty will oversee all aspects of the operation of the Funds and the Fixed Income Funds, including oversight of their service providers. Because the Funds had not commenced operations as of August 13, 2008 and the Fixed Income Funds had not commenced operations as of February 11, 2009, they did not have any prior performance history. Based on these and other considerations, the Board determined at each meeting that, in the exercise of its business judgment, the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by Rafferty to the Funds and the Fixed Income Funds under the Agreements were fair and reasonable.
 
Costs of Services Provided to the Funds and Profits Realized.  The Board at each meeting considered the fees to be paid to Rafferty on an annual basis, including the proposed contractual fee waivers and/or expense limitations. In this regard, management advised the Board that the advisory fees for the Funds and the Fixed Income Funds are similar

to the advisory fees for comparable exchange-traded funds. The Board also noted that Rafferty does not have any non-mutual fund clients, except for one hedge fund client. In this connection, the Board considered that Rafferty charges a higher fee rate for that hedge fund compared to the advisory fee rate of the Funds and the Fixed Income Funds. The Board also considered that Rafferty agreed to limit the total expenses for the Funds and the Fixed Income Funds via contractual fee waivers and/or expense limitations. The Board also considered the overall profitability of Rafferty’s investment business. Because the Funds had not commenced operations as of August 13, 2008 and because the Fixed Income Funds had not commenced operations as of February 11, 2009, Rafferty did not have any prior profit data. Based on these considerations, the Board at each meeting determined that, in the exercise of its business judgment, the costs of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized under the Agreements were fair and reasonable.
 
Other Benefits.  The Board considered Rafferty’s representations at the August 13, 2008 and February 11, 2009 meetings that its relationship with the Funds or the Fixed Income Funds, respectively, would provide any other benefits. The Board at each meeting noted that Rafferty previously had represented that its relationship with other investment companies managed by Rafferty could help to enable Rafferty to attract business to its hedge fund. The Board also considered that Rafferty’s overall business with brokerage firms can help to lower commission rates and provide better execution for Fund and Fixed Income Fund portfolio transactions. Based on these and other considerations, the Board at each meeting determined that, in the exercise of its business judgment, any benefits to Rafferty would be fair and reasonable.
 
Conclusion.  Based on, but not limited to, the above considerations and determinations, the Board determined at its August 13, 2008 meeting in regards to the Funds, and at its February 11, 2009 meeting in regards to the Fixed Income Funds, that each Agreement was fair and reasonable in light of the services to be performed, fees, expenses and such other matters as the Board considered relevant in the exercise of its business judgment. On this basis, the Board at its August 13, 2008 meeting unanimously voted in favor of the approval of the Agreement related to the Funds, and the Board at its February 11, 2009 meeting unanimously voted in favor of the approval of the Agreement related to the Fixed Income Funds.
