Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares Company profile

Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares (SOXL) is an Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) provided by Direxion, an American financial products provider known for its leveraged ETF. Investors can gain exposure to US Semiconductor Equities through SOXL.

The ETF is designed to track ICE Semiconductor Index (ICESEMIT). The Index tracks the performance of the 30 largest US-listed semiconductor companies within the Semiconductors Industry of the ICE Uniform Sector Classification schema. 

The Index includes companies that either produce electrically conductive materials for use in electronic applications or use lighting-emitting diodes (LED) and organic LED (OLED) technology. As well as companies that provide semiconductor-related services or equipment, such as packaging and testing. The Index is rebalanced quarterly and reconstituted on an annual basis.

As of 31 December 2021, the Index had a median total market capitalisation of $56.6bn.

The Fund seeks daily investment returns of 300% of the performance of the ICE Semiconductor Index, before fees and expenses. Investors who own its shares earn the Index’s return indirectly through derivatives or a swap. As a result, investors receive a steady stream of income from the SOXL’s dividends.

When holding periods are longer, the Index is more volatile and leverage is used; compounding has a higher impact on an investor’s results. The Fund’s return may be affected by Index volatility as much as, if not more than, the Index’s return during periods of elevated Index volatility.
