Letter to Shareholders
 
Dear Shareholders,
 
This Annual Report for the Direxion Shares covers the period from November 5, 2008 to October 31, 2009, (the “Annual Period”). The first four months of the Annual Period was 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 middle of the period, the markets had recovered much of their earlier losses and volatility had returned to more customary levels. Despite the market gains since March, the economy remains fragile and recovery is far from assured.
 
The discussion below relates to the performance of the Direxion Shares exchange traded funds (the “ETFs”) for the Annual Period. However, the ETFs seek to provide daily returns which are a multiple — positive or negative — of the daily return of a particular benchmark and the ETFs should not be held for long periods. The ETFs are not suitable for many investors and should be utilized only by sophisticated investors who understand leverage risk, the consequences of seeking daily leveraged investment results, understand the risk of shorting, and intend to actively monitor and manage their investments.
 
An ETF which meets its daily goals should have performance for the Annual Period similar to the performance indicated by models based on the daily returns of the relevant benchmark for the Annual Period. 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 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 daily return of the Russell 1000 Index, respectively. For the period, the Target Index returned 11.22%. The Direxion Daily Large Cap Bull 3X Shares returned -20.35% and Direxion Daily Large Cap Bear 3X Shares returned -62.87%. The model indicated an expected return of -17.89% for the Direxion Daily Large Cap Bull 3X Shares and an expected return of -63.18% for the Direxion Daily Large Cap Bear 3X Shares. Factors affecting each ETF’s performance are set forth in the Management Discussion & Analysis section.
 
The Direxion Daily Mid Cap Bull 3X Shares and the Direxion Daily Mid Cap Bear 3X Shares seek to provide 300% and -300% of the daily return of the Russell Midcap Index, respectively. For the period, the Target Index returned 18.73%. The Direxion Daily Mid Cap Bull 3X Shares returned 40.65% and the Direxion Daily Mid Cap Bear 3X Shares returned -71.23%.

There is no guarantee the funds will achieve their objective. Investing in index funds may be more volatile than investing in broadly diversified funds. The use of leverage by a fund means the Funds are riskier than alternatives which do not use leverage. The Funds are not designed to track the underlying index over a longer period of time.
 
The risks associated with the funds are detailed in the prospectus which include: adverse market condition risk, adviser’s investment strategy risk, aggressive investment techniques risk, concentration risk, counterparty risk, credit and lower quality debt securities risk, equity securities risk, currency exchange risk, daily correlation risk, daily rebalancing and market volatility risk, depository receipt risk, foreign and emerging markets securities risk, sector securities risk, interest rate risk, inverse correlation risk, leverage risk, market risk, non-diversification risk, shorting

Management Discussion & Analysis
 
Investment Techniques and Policies:
 
Rafferty Asset Management, LLC (“Rafferty” or “Adviser”), the investment adviser to the Funds, uses a number of investment techniques in order to achieve the stated goal for each Fund. The Bull Funds magnify the returns of their respective indexes for a one-day period and the Bear Funds inversely magnify the returns of their respective indexes for a one-day period. Rafferty primarily uses statistical and quantitative analysis to determine the investments each Fund makes and the techniques it employs.
 
No Fund attempts, or should be expected to, provide returns which are a multiple of the return of the benchmark for periods other than a single day.
 
Factors Affecting Fund Performance:
 
•  Benchmark Performance – The daily performance of each Fund’s benchmark index, and the factors and market conditions implicitly affecting that index, are the primary factors driving Fund 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 Fund seeks daily investment results (before fees and expenses) of either 300% (for the Bull Funds) or -300% (for the Bear Funds) of the performance of its respective underlying index. The use of leverage magnifies a Fund’s gains or losses and increases the investment’s risk and volatility. The Bear Funds 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 returns of an underlying index. Over periods longer than a single day, a Fund should not be expected to provide 300% or -300% 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 Funds over longer periods are greater or less than the Fund’s daily stated goal. Periods of high volatility that lack a clear trend hurt a Fund’s performance while trending, low volatility markets enhance a Fund’s performance. The past year saw some of the highest volatility on record.
 
•  Cost of Financing – In order to attain leveraged exposure, a Bull Fund incurs a cost of LIBOR plus a spread and a Bear Fund receives LIBOR minus a spread as applied to the borrowed portion of the Fund’s exposure. Because LIBOR is very low, financing costs create only a small drag on a Bull Fund’s performance while a Bear Fund receives a negligible amount, or in the case of hard-to-borrow shares, even pays to finance its short position.
 
•  Optimized Baskets – Each Bull Fund holds a basket of equities designed to provide returns that track its underlying index. In order to decrease transaction costs, certain Bull Funds 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 Funds are positively impacted by equity and index dividends as the Funds receive those payments. Equity Bear Funds are negatively impacted as they are obligated to pay the dividends. Treasury Bull Funds receive interest, accrued on a daily basis, to account for the Treasury’s semi-annual coupon payments while the Treasury Bear Funds pay interest, accrued on a daily basis.
 
•  Fees, Expenses, and Transaction Costs – Fees and expenses are listed in each Fund’s prospectus and may be larger than many traditional index funds’ fees which causes a greater negative impact on Fund performance. Transactions costs are not included in the expense ratio of the Funds. Transaction costs can be higher due to the Fund’s use of leverage, frequent creation and redemption activity, or trading securities that are comparatively less liquid.
 
Market Conditions Affecting Fund Performance:
 
Twenty-two (22) Funds were launched during the most recent fiscal year ending October 31st, 2009. A general review of economic conditions and market events, as well as index performance, is below for the period described.
 
 
DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT  7

Economy:
 
A violent collapse followed by a startling reversal defined this past year’s market environment. Credit markets seized, large institutions teetered on the brink of bankruptcy, and unemployment climbed to levels not seen in decades. Fear abated, and in March, the market turned around as signs of an economic recovery made headlines. The recovery continued through the end of the fiscal year with a strong and resilient upward trend.
 
Twelve months ago, the United States and the rest of the world were in the midst of a global financial crisis. Domestically, the Federal Reserve, led by Ben Bernanke, cut interest rates from 5.25% to near zero between September of 2007 and December of 2008 in order to inject liquidity into the markets. Rates in the U.S. have remained at this record low throughout the most recent year. Foreign leaders also understood the magnitude of the crisis and took measures to stabilize their economies. A flight to quality pushed up prices of Treasuries creating a phenomenon where an investment in a 3-month T-Bill temporarily returned a negative yield.
 
Credit conditions tightened so drastically that they froze during the heart of the crisis. Conditions have thawed since then and institutions have begun lending again with much more conservative measures in place. Housing prices plummeted about 25% on average and as much as 50% in certain parts of the country. Unemployment rose to its highest levels since the 1980’s as companies were forced to cut costs and lower capacity due to decreased demand for products. These combined factors created high default rates and foreclosures on mortgages. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were placed into a conservatorship by the United States government to preserve the vital agencies. Companies involved in mortgage backed securities lost billions of dollars causing Lehman Brothers to go bankrupt and Merrill Lynch, a long-standing and very well-branded American firm, to sell to Bank of America. Credit default swaps brought AIG to the edge of bankruptcy while consumer credit produced devastating losses for Citigroup; both were bailed out by the United States government in two of the largest bailouts in U.S. history. Decreased demand for consumer products, especially for “big-ticket” items, caused GM to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and Ford to raise capital to keep the company above water.
 
Implementation of the TARP program, deceleration of losses, and the anticipation of a bottom culminated in a turnaround in mid-March. Fear of a global collapse subsided and the S&P 500 rallied 55% from the low on March 9th, 2009 to October 31st, 2009 along with other broad market indexes. Though the Fed has kept rates at extremely low levels, there are no signs of inflation in our near future.
 
The government’s record-breaking spending brought the U.S. deficit to $170 billion at the end of October causing a strong and steady 10.9% decline in the U.S. Dollar relative to a basket of other currencies. Gold proved to be a safe haven for investors during the crisis and the Dollar’s decline as it rallied 42% over the past twelve months. Crude oil climbed to $80 a barrel again as demand for the commodity was expected to return with the economic recovery.
 
Index Performance:
 
Over the fiscal year, Rafferty managed Funds of four different categories of indices — broad market, sector, international and fixed-income. Index returns are calculated for the period beginning October 31, 2008 and ending October 31, 2009 for all indexes except the NYSE Treasury indexes, which were not created until February 27th, 2009.
 
Domestic broad market indexes experienced negative returns until the bottom in March when broad market indexes turned around and rallied strongly through the Funds’ fiscal year end on October 31, 2009. The rally was powerful enough to overcome the downturn and produce positive returns for all broad market indexes during the period. Six of Direxion’s leveraged ETFs track broad market indexes; the index returns for the period are below. Due to the compounding associated with products which seek leveraged and inverse daily returns, the return of the Fund for the period bears little relationship to the return of the Index.

sectors suffered the most during the financial crisis due to the sub-prime mortgage crisis and the credit crunch, and though both sectors rebounded impressively, their returns substantially lagged other sectors for the year ended October 31, 2009. Eight of Direxion’s leveraged ETFs track sector indexes; the index returns for the period are below. Due to the compounding associated with products which seek leveraged and inverse daily returns, the return of the Fund for the period bears little relationship to the return of the Index.

For the first part of the fiscal year, international equity markets experienced negative returns concomitantly with domestic markets, though to a lesser extent, and then rose vigorously to produce sizeable overall returns for the period. Rafferty managed four Funds benchmarked to international indexes; the returns for the benchmarks are below. Due to the compounding associated with products which seek leveraged and inverse daily returns, the return of the Fund for the period bears little relationship to the return of the Index.
 
         
iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund
    50.65%

Prices of long-term Treasuries sank during the summer months due to a decreased demand for government debt and a weakening U.S. Dollar. As fear in the markets eased, investors fled the security of U.S. Treasuries and sought riskier assets in search of returns and as a result, prices of Treasuries dropped. The U.S. Dollar also steadily lost value relative to other major currencies lessening demand for dollar-denominated debt. Rafferty managed four Funds benchmarked to fixed-income indexes; the index returns for the period are below. Due to the compounding associated with products which seek leveraged and inverse daily returns, the return of the Fund for the period bears little relationship to the return of the Index.

Index Volatility:
 
Market volatility reached extraordinary levels that U.S. equity markets have not seen since the crash of 1987 or perhaps the Great Depression of the early 1930’s. The VIX, a measure of market volatility, spiked to 80.86, its highest level on record, in November of 2008. Higher volatility negatively impacts a Fund’s performance as described in the previous section. The volatility of each Index used as a benchmark for Direxion’s Funds is below:

Rafferty does not invest the assets of the Funds based on its view of the investment merit of a particular security, instrument or company. In addition, each Fund pursues its investment objective regardless of market conditions and does not take defensive positions.

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 1.00%. Rafferty has voluntarily agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse the funds for other expense through March 1st, 2010 to the extent the Net Annual Operating Expenses exceed .95%. 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.

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 the Bear Funds’ 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 or inverse multiple (e.g., 300% or -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 DirexionShares 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 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 .96%. Rafferty has voluntarily agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse the funds for other expense through March 1st, 2010 to the extent the Net Annual Operating Expenses exceed .95%. 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.

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 the Bear Funds’ 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 or inverse multiple (e.g., 300% or -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 DirexionShares 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 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 .97%. Rafferty has voluntarily agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse the funds for other expense through March 1st, 2010 to the extent the Net Annual Operating Expenses exceed .95%. 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.

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 the Bear Funds’ 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 or inverse multiple (e.g., 300% or -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 DirexionShares 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 Examples
October 31, 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 (May 1, 2009 to October 31, 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 transactional 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 “Closing 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 show for each Fund is for the period from the inception date of such Fund through October 31, 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:
 
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. Securities for which reliable market quotations are not readily available, the Funds’ pricing service does not provide a valuation for such securities, the Fund’s pricing service provides valuation that in the judgment of Rafferty Asset Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) does not represent fair value, or the Fund or Adviser believes the market price is stale will be fair valued as determined by the Adviser under the supervision of the Board of Trustees.
 
b) Swap Contracts – Each 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 Funds 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.
 
 
DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT  109


Table of Contents

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 net asset value (“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 Adviser.
 
The Funds collateralize swap agreements with cash and certain securities as indicated on the Schedule of 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. The Funds do not net collateral. 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 in 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.

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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. 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.
 
At October 31, 2009, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments for Federal income tax purposes were as follows:

The differences between book basis and tax basis components of net assets are primarily attributable to tax deferral of losses on wash sales, mark to market of unrealized gains on PFICs and basis adjustments on investments in REITs. At October 31, 2009, the components of accumulated earnings/loss on a tax-basis were as follows:

For financial reporting purposes, capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. Reclassifications are primarily due to tax treatment of redemptions in-kind, net operating losses, distribution reclasses, sale of REITs and PFICs, and utilization of earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares. Results of operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications. At October 31, 2009, the effect of permanent book/tax reclassifications resulted in increases (decreases) to the components of net assets as follows:
 
                         
          Accumulated
       
    Undistributed

Financial reporting rules prescribe a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Funds’ understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Taxes are accrued and applied to net investment income, net realized capital gains and net unrealized appreciation, as applicable, as the income is earned or capital gains are recorded. If applicable, the Funds will recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in “Other” expense on the Statements of Operations. Management has determined that there is no impact resulting from the application of this to the Funds’ financial statements.
 
Financial reporting rules require management of the Funds to analyze all open tax years as defined by IRS statute of limitations, for all major jurisdictions, including federal tax authorities and certain state tax authorities. As of and during the period ended October 31, 2009, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds have no examination in progress and are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. As of October 31, 2009, open Federal and state income tax years include the tax year ended October 31, 2009. The Funds have no examinations in progress.
 
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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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.
 
j) Equalization – Commencing May 1, 2009, the Funds discontinued the practice of equalization accounting for book purposes (but retained equalization for tax purposes) and reclassified amounts from net income equalization to

This change in accounting did not impact any calculation of net asset value per share nor did it change the Funds’ policies with respect to distributing taxable income.
 
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. Transactions in shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statement 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 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.
 
4.   INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
 
During the period ended October 31, 2009, the aggregate purchases and sales of investments (excluding cost of in-kind transactions, proceeds from in-kind sales, short-term investments, and swaps contracts) were:

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.
 
6.   SUMMARY OF FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURE
 
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)
 
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 Fund’s investments at October 31, 2009:

8.   RISK
 
Below are some of the principal risks of investing in the ETFs. Please refer to the ETFs’ 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 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
 
 
DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT  125


Table of Contents

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 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.

Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2009, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds at October 31, 2009, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
