Investor Class
The funds offered in this Prospectus (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) seek calendar month leveraged investment results and are riskier than most mutual funds because the Funds seek 1.75 times the calendar month performance of a respective underlying index. The Funds with “Bull” in their names attempt to provide calendar month investment results that correspond to 1.75 times the calendar month performance of an underlying index and are collectively referred to as the “Bull Funds.” The Funds with “Bear” in their names attempt to provide calendar month investment results that correspond to 1.75 times the inverse (or opposite) of the performance of an underlying index, a result that is the opposite of most mutual funds, and are collectively referred to as the “Bear Funds.”
The Funds are not suitable for all investors. The Funds are designed to be utilized only by sophisticated investors, such as traders and active investors employing dynamic strategies. Investors in the Funds should:
(a)
understand the risks associated with the use of leverage,
(b)
understand the consequences of seeking calendar month leveraged investment results,
(c)
for a Bear Fund, understand the risk of shorting, and
(d)
actively monitor and manage their investments.
Investors who do not understand the Funds or do not intend to actively manage and monitor their investments should not buy the Funds.
There is no assurance that any Fund will achieve its investment objective and an investment in a Fund could lose money. No single Fund is a complete investment program.
An investor who purchases shares on a day other than the last business day of a calendar month will generally receive more, or less, than 175% (for a Bull Fund) or -175% (for a Bear Fund) exposure to the underlying index from that point until the end of the month. The actual exposure is a function of the performance of the underlying index from the end of the prior calendar month to an investor’s purchase date. If a Fund’s shares are held for a period other than a calendar month, the Fund’s performance is likely to deviate from 175% (for a Bull Fund) or -175% (for a Bear Fund) of the underlying index’s performance for the period the Fund is held. This deviation will increase with higher underlying index volatility and longer holding periods.
These securities have not been approved or disapproved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), nor have the SEC or CFTC passed upon the adequacy of this Prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Summary Section
Direxion Monthly S&P 500® Bull 1.75X Fund
Important Information Regarding the Fund
The Direxion Monthly S&P 500® Bull 1.75X Fund (formerly Direxion Monthly S&P 500® Bull 2X Fund) (the “Fund”) seeks calendar month leveraged (1.75X) investment results and is very different from most other mutual funds. As a result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the Fund’s objective is to magnify the monthly performance of the S&P 500® Index (the "Index"). The return for investors that invest for periods longer or shorter than a full calendar month, which is defined as the period from the end of the last business day of one calendar month through the close of trading on the last business day of the following calendar month, should not be expected to be 175% of the performance of the Index for the period. The return of the Fund for a period longer than a full calendar month will be the result of each full calendar month’s compounded return over the period, which will very likely differ from 175% of the return of the Index for that period. Longer holding periods, higher volatility of the Index and leverage increase the impact of compounding on an investor’s returns. During periods of higher Index volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the Fund’s return as much as, or more than, the return of the Index.
The Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is designed to be utilized only by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking calendar month leveraged (1.75X) investment results, understand the risks associated with the use of leverage and are willing to monitor their portfolios frequently. The Fund is not intended to be used by, and is not appropriate for, investors who do not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. For periods longer than a calendar month, the Fund will lose money if the Index’s performance is flat, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if the Index’s performance increases. An investor could lose the full principal value of his/her investment within a calendar month if the Index loses more than 58% in one month.
Investment Objective
The Fund seeks monthly investment results, before fees and expenses, of 175% of the calendar month performance of the Index. The Fund does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective for a period of time different than a full calendar month.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.

"Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses" include fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund as a result of investments in other investment companies, including investments in money market funds. Because acquired fund fees and expenses are not borne directly by the Fund, they will not be reflected in the expense information in the Fund's financial statements and the information presented in the table will differ from that presented in the Fund's financial highlights included in the Fund's reports to shareholders.
(2)
Rafferty Asset Management, LLC (“Rafferty” or the “Adviser”), has entered into an Operating Expense Limitation Agreement with the Fund. Under the Operating Expense Limitation Agreement, Rafferty has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse the Fund for Other Expenses through September 1, 2024, to the extent that the Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses exceed 1.35% of the Fund’s average daily net assets (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).
Any expense waiver or reimbursement is subject to recoupment by the Adviser within the three years after the expense was waived/reimbursed only if overall Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses fall below the lesser of this percentage limitation and any percentage limitation in place at the time the expense was waived/reimbursed. This agreement may be terminated or revised at any time with the consent of the Board of Trustees.
Example - This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average

value of its portfolio. However, this portfolio turnover is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives. If such instruments were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.
Principal Investment Strategy
The Index is designed to be comprised of stocks that are the 500 leading, large-cap U.S.-listed issuers. It selects constituents 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 and market capitalization-weighted index.
As of October 31, 2022, the Index consisted of 503 constituents, which had a median total market capitalization of $28.8 billion, total market capitalizations ranging from $3.4 billion to $2.5 trillion and were concentrated in the information technology and healthcare sectors. The Index is rebalanced quarterly.
The components of the Index and the percentages represented by various sectors in the Index may change over time. The Fund will concentrate its investment in a particular industry or group of industries (i.e., hold 25% or more of its total assets in the stocks of a particular industry or group of industries) to approximately the same extent as the Index is so concentrated.
The Fund, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowing for investment purposes) in securities of the Index, exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") that track the Index and other financial instruments that provide monthly leveraged exposure to the Index or to ETFs that track the Index, which, in combination, provide returns consistent with the Fund’s investment objective. The financial instruments in which the Fund most commonly invests are swap contracts which are intended to produce economically leveraged investment results.
The Fund may invest in the securities of the Index, an ETF that tracks the Index, or utilize derivatives such as swaps on the Index, swaps on an ETF that tracks the Index or a substantially similar index as the Fund, or futures contracts to obtain leveraged exposure to the securities or a representative sample of the securities in the Index that have aggregate characteristics similar to those of the Index. On a day-to-day basis, the Fund is expected to hold money market funds, deposit accounts with institutions with high quality credit ratings, and/or short-term debt instruments that have terms-to-maturity of less than 397 days and exhibit high quality credit profiles, including U.S. government securities and repurchase agreements. The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times consistent with its stated investment objective.
Because a significant portion of the assets of the Fund may come from investors using “asset allocation” and “market timing” investment strategies, the Fund may engage in frequent trading.
The Fund is “non-diversified,” meaning that a relatively high percentage of its assets may be invested in a limited number of issuers of securities. Additionally, the Fund’s investment objective is not a fundamental policy and may be changed by the Fund’s Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.
Principal Investment Risks
An investment in the Fund entails risk. The Fund may not achieve its leveraged investment objective and there is a risk that you could lose all of your money invested in the Fund. The Fund is not a complete investment program. In addition, the Fund presents risks not traditionally associated with most mutual funds. It is important that investors closely review all of the risks listed below and understand them before making an investment in the Fund.
Effects of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk - The Fund has a monthly leveraged investment objective and the Fund’s performance for periods greater than a full calendar month, which is defined as the period from the end of the last business day of one calendar month through the close of trading on the last business day of the following calendar month, will be the result of each month's returns compounded over the period, which is very likely to differ from 175% of the Index’s performance, before fees and expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but has a more significant impact on funds that are leveraged and that rebalance monthly and becomes more pronounced as volatility and holding periods increase. The impact of compounding will impact each shareholder differently depending on the period of time an investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of the Index during the shareholder’s holding period of an investment in the Fund.
The chart below provides examples of how Index volatility and its return could affect the Fund’s performance. Fund performance for periods greater than one calendar month can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: a) Index volatility; b) Index performance; c) period of time; d) financing rates associated with leveraged exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and f) dividends or interest paid with respect to securities of the Index. The chart below illustrates the impact of two principal factors – Index volatility and Index performance – on Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of Index volatility and Index performance over a one-year period. Performance shown in the chart assumes that: (i) no dividends were paid with respect to the securities included in the Index; (ii) there were no Fund expenses; and (iii) borrowing/lending rates of 0%. If Fund expenses and/or actual borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the estimated returns would be different than those shown. Particularly during periods of higher Index volatility, compounding will cause results for periods longer than a full calendar month to vary from 175% of the performance of the Index.
As shown in the chart below, the Fund would be expected to lose 4% if the Index provided no return over a one year period during which the Index experienced annualized volatility of 25%. At higher ranges of volatility, there is a chance of a significant loss of value in the Fund, even if the Index’s return is flat. For instance, if the Index’s annualized volatility is 100%, the Fund would be expected to lose 48.1% of its value, even if the cumulative Index return for the year was 0%. Areas shaded red (or dark gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than 175% of the performance of the Index and those shaded green (or light gray) represent those scenarios where

the Fund can be expected to return more than 175% of the performance of the Index. The table below is not a representation of the Fund’s actual returns, which may be significantly better or worse than the returns shown below as a result of any of the factors discussed above or in “Monthly Index Correlation Risk” below. The volatility of exchange traded securities or instruments that reflect the value of the Index may differ from the volatility of the Index.

The Index’s annualized historical volatility rate for the five year period ended September 30, 2022 was 21.29%. The Index’s highest volatility rate for any twelve-month period (October 1 to September 30) was 34.04% and volatility for a shorter period of time may have been substantially higher. The Index’s annualized performance for the five-year period ended September 30, 2022 was 9.23%. Historical Index volatility and performance are not indications of what the Index volatility and performance will be in the future. The volatility of ETFs or instruments that reflect the value of the Index, such as swaps, may differ from the volatility of the Index.
For information regarding the effects of volatility and Index performance on the long-term performance of the Fund, see “Additional Information Regarding Investment Techniques and Policies” in the Fund’s statutory prospectus, and “Negative Implications of Leveraged Monthly Goals In Volatile Markets” in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.
Leverage Risk The Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its net assets by utilizing leverage and may lose more money in market conditions that are adverse to its investment objective than a fund that does not utilize leverage. An investment in the Fund is exposed to the risk that a decline in the monthly performance of the Index will be magnified. This means that an investment in the Fund will be reduced by an amount equal to 1.75% for every 1% monthly decline in the Index, not including the costs of financing leverage and other operating expenses, which would further reduce its value. The Fund could theoretically lose an amount greater than its net assets in the event of an Index decline of more than 58%. This would result in a total loss of a shareholder’s investment in one day even if the Index subsequently moves in the opposite direction and eliminates all or a portion of its earlier daily change. A total
loss may occur in a single day even if the Index does not lose all of its value. Leverage will also have the effect of magnifying any differences in the Fund’s correlation with the Index and may increase the volatility of the Fund.
Due to the limited availability of necessary investments or financial instruments, the Fund could, among other things, as a defensive measure, limit or suspend purchases or redemptions of Fund shares until the Adviser determines that the requisite exposure to the Index is obtainable. The Fund may also change its investment objective by, for example, seeking to track an alternative index, or lowering its leverage multiple or the Fund could close.
Derivatives Risk Derivatives are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest rates or indexes. Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks, and may result in larger losses or smaller gains, than investing directly in the reference assets underlying those derivatives, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
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 correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions. The performance of a derivative may not track the performance of its reference asset for various reasons, including due to fees and other costs associated with it. Additionally, a swap on an ETF may not closely track the performance of the Index due to costs associated with trading ETFs, such as an ETF’s premium or discount and the difference between its market price and its net asset value. If the Index has a dramatic intraday increase or decrease that causes a material change in the Fund’s net assets, the terms of a swap agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close the swap agreement with the Fund. In that event, the Fund may not be able to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective. This may occur even if the Index reverses all or a portion of its intraday movement by the end of the day. Because derivatives often require only a limited initial investment, the use of derivatives may expose the Fund to losses in excess of the amount initially invested. As a result, the value of an investment in the Fund may change quickly and without warning. Additionally, any financing, borrowing or other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the effect of lowering the Fund’s return.
Counterparty Risk A counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its contractual obligations or may fail to return holdings that are subject to the agreement with the counterparty. If the counterparty or its affiliate becomes insolvent, bankrupt or defaults on its payment obligations to the Fund, the value of an investment held by the Fund may decline. Additionally, if any collateral posted by the counterparty for the benefit
3
Direxion Funds Prospectus

of the Fund is insufficient or there are delays in the Fund’s ability to access such collateral, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment objective.
In addition, the Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of counterparties, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit risk. Further, there is a risk that no suitable counterparties will be willing to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the Fund and, as a result, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment objective or may decide to change its leveraged investment objective.
Rebalancing Risk If for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a part of its portfolio, or if all or a portion of the portfolio is rebalanced incorrectly, the Fund’s investment exposure may not be consistent with its investment objective. In these instances, the Fund may have investment exposure to the Index that is significantly greater or significantly less than its stated multiple. The Fund may be more exposed to leverage risk than if it had been properly rebalanced and may not achieve its investment objective, leading to significantly greater losses or reduced gains.
Intra-Calendar Month Investment Risk The Fund seeks calendar month leveraged investment results. The exact exposure of an investment in the Fund intra-month will depend upon the movement of the Index from the end of the prior calendar month until the time of investment by the investor. If the Index gains value, the Fund’s net assets will rise by the same amount as the Fund’s exposure. Conversely, if the Index loses value, the Fund’s net assets will decline by the same amount as the Fund’s exposure. Thus, an investor who purchases shares on a day other than the last business day of a calendar month will likely obtain more, or less, than 175% leveraged investment exposure to the Index, depending upon the movement of the Index from the end of the prior calendar month until the time of investment by the investor.
If there is a significant intra-month market event and/or the securities of the Index experience a significant decrease, the Fund may not meet its investment objective or be able to rebalance its portfolio appropriately.
Monthly Index Correlation Risk There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation with its monthly leveraged investment objective relative to the Index. A number of factors may adversely affect the Fund’s correlation with the Index, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs related to the use of derivatives, investments in ETFs, directly or indirectly as a reference asset for derivative instruments, income items, valuation methodology, accounting standards, significant purchase and redemption activity by Fund shareholders and illiquidity in the markets for the securities or derivatives held by the Fund. Market disruptions, regulatory restrictions or extreme volatility will also adversely affect the Fund’s ability to adjust exposure to the required levels.
In order to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index, the Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio on a monthly basis to keep exposure consistent with its leveraged investment objective. Being materially over- or under-exposed to the Index may prevent the Fund from achieving a high
degree of correlation with the Index. The target amount of portfolio exposure is impacted by the Index’s movement, thus it is unlikely the Fund will have perfect exposure (175%) to the Index on the rebalance date and the likelihood of the Fund being materially over- or under-exposed is higher on days when the Index experiences volatility near the close of the trading day.
The Fund may not have investment exposure to all securities in the Index, or its weighting of investment exposure to such stocks or industries may be different from that of the Index. In addition, the Fund may invest in, or have exposure to, securities or financial instruments not included in the Index. The Fund may also take or refrain from taking certain positions in order to improve tax efficiency or comply with regulatory restriction, either of which may negatively impact the Fund’s correlation with the Index. The 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 the Index. Activities surrounding Index reconstitutions and other Index repositioning events may hinder the Fund’s ability to meet its calendar month leveraged investment objective.
Other Investment Companies (including ETFs) Risk
The Fund may invest in another investment company, including an ETF, to pursue its investment objective. When investing in another investment company, including an ETF, the Fund becomes a shareholder of that investment company and as a result, Fund shareholders indirectly bear the Fund’s proportionate share of the fees and expenses of the other investment company, in addition to the fees and expenses of the Fund’s own operations. The Fund must rely on the other investment company to achieve its investment objective. Accordingly, if the other investment company fails to achieve its investment objective, the Fund’s performance will likely be adversely affected. To the extent that the Fund obtains exposure to another investment company, including an ETF, by entering into a derivative contract whose reference asset is the investment company, the Fund will not be a shareholder of the other investment company but will still be exposed to the risk that it may fail to achieve its investment objective and adversely impact the Fund. In addition, to the extent that the Fund invests in an investment company that is an ETF, it will be exposed to all of the risks associated with the ETF structure. Shares of ETFs are listed and traded on national stock exchanges, their shares may trade at a discount or a premium to an ETF’s net asset value which may result in an ETF’s market price being more or less than the value of the index that the ETF tracks especially during periods of market volatility or disruption. There may also be additional trading costs due to an ETF’s bid-ask spread, which may adversely affect the Fund’s performance.
Market Risk The Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of issuers, general market liquidity, exchange trading suspensions and closures, and public health risks.

The Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt the securities, swap agreements or futures contract markets and adversely affect global economies, markets and exchanges. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, conflicts and social unrest or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund, its investments, and the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.
Healthcare Sector Risk The profitability of companies in the healthcare sector may be affected by extensive, costly and uncertain government regulation, restrictions on government reimbursement for medical expenses, rising costs of medical products and services, pricing pressure, changes in the demand for medical products and services, an increased emphasis on outpatient services, limited product lines, industry innovation and/or consolidation, changes in technologies and other market developments. Many healthcare companies are heavily dependent on patent protection, which may be time consuming and costly. The expiration of patents may adversely affect the profitability of these companies. Many healthcare companies are subject to extensive litigation based on product liability and similar claims. Healthcare companies are subject to competitive forces that may make it difficult to raise prices and, in fact, may result in price discounting. Many new products in the healthcare sector require significant research and development and may be subject to regulatory approvals. The process of obtaining such approvals may be long and costly with no guarantee that any product will come to market.
Information Technology Sector Risk The value of stocks of information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence, government regulation, and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from competitors with lower production costs. In addition, many information technology companies have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. The prices of information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile and less liquid than the overall market. Information technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect profitability. Additionally, companies in the information technology sector may face dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel.
Large-Capitalization Company Risk Large-capitalization companies may be less able to adapt to changing market conditions or to respond quickly to competitive challenges or to changes in business, product, financial, or market conditions and may not be able to maintain growth at rates that may be achieved by well-managed smaller and mid-size companies, which may affect the companies’ returns.
Mid-Capitalization Company Risk - Mid-capitalization companies often have narrower markets for their goods and/or services, more limited product lines, services, markets, managerial and financial resources, less stable earnings, or are dependent on a small management group. In addition, because these stocks are not well known to the investing public, do not have significant institutional ownership and are followed by relatively few security analysts, there will normally be less publicly available information concerning these securities compared to what is available for the securities of larger companies. As a result, the price of mid-capitalization companies can be more volatile and they may be less liquid than large-capitalization companies, which could increase the volatility of the Fund’s portfolio.
Early Close/Trading Halt Risk An exchange or market may close or issue trading halts on specific securities of financial instruments or restrict the ability to buy or sell certain portfolio securities or financial instruments, which may result in the Fund being unable to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments. In such circumstances, the Fund may be unable to accurately price its investments, may incur significant tracking differences with its Index, may incur substantial losses and may limit or stop purchases of the Fund.
Equity Securities Risk Publicly issued equity securities, including common stocks, are subject to market risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Fluctuations in the value of equity securities in which the Fund invests, and/or has exposure to, will cause the net asset value of the Fund to fluctuate.
Money Market Instrument Risk The Fund may use a variety of money market instruments for cash management purposes, including money market funds, depositary accounts and repurchase agreements. Money market funds may be subject to credit risk with respect to the debt instruments in which they invest. Depository accounts may be subject to credit risk with respect to the financial institution in which the depository account is held. Repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk related to the collateral securing the repurchase agreement. Money market instruments may lose money.
Market Timing Activity Risk Rafferty expects a significant portion of the assets of the Fund to come from professional money managers and investors who use the Fund as part of “asset allocation” and “market timing” investment strategies. These strategies often call for frequent trading, which may lead to large shareholder transactions into and out of the Fund. These large movements of assets may lead to increased portfolio turnover, higher transaction costs and the possibility of increased net realized capital gains, including net short-term capital gains. Additionally, these large movement of assets may have a negative impact on the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund’s expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus.
Non-Diversification Risk The Fund is non-diversified, which means it invests a high percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities. Additionally, the Fund may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in swap

agreements with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may result in the Fund experiencing increased volatility and its net asset value and total return may fluctuate more or fall greater in times of weaker markets than a diversified fund.

Direxion Monthly S&P 500® Bear 1.75X Fund
Important Information Regarding the Fund
The Direxion Monthly S&P 500® Bear 1.75X Fund (formerly Direxion Monthly S&P 500® Bear 2X Fund) (the “Fund”) seeks calendar month inverse leveraged (-1.75X) investment results and is very different from most other mutual funds. As a result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the Fund’s objective is to magnify the monthly inverse performance of the S&P 500® Index (the "Index"). The return for investors that invest for periods longer or shorter than a full calendar month, which is defined as the period from the end of the last business day of one calendar month through the close of trading on the last business day of the following calendar month, should not be expected to be -175% of the performance of the Index for the period. The return of the Fund for a period longer than a full calendar month will be the result of each full calendar month’s compounded return over the period, which will very likely differ from -175% of the return of the Index for that period. Longer holding periods, higher volatility of the Index and leverage increase the impact of compounding on an investor’s returns. During periods of higher Index volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the Fund’s return as much as, or more than, the return of the Index.
The Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is designed to be utilized only by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking calendar month inverse leveraged (-1.75X) investment results, understand the risks associated with the use of leverage and shorting and are willing to monitor their portfolios frequently. The Fund is not intended to be used by, and is not appropriate for, investors who do not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. For periods longer than a calendar month, the Fund will lose money if the Index’s performance is flat, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if the Index’s performance decreases. An investor could lose the full principal value of his/her investment within a calendar month if the Index gains more than 58% in one month.
Investment Objective
The Fund seeks monthly investment results, before fees and expenses, of 175% of the inverse (or opposite) of the calendar month performance of the Index. The Fund does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective for a period of time different than a full calendar month.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.

"Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses" include fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund as a result of investments in other investment companies, including investments in money market funds. Because acquired fund fees and expenses are not borne directly by the Fund, they will not be reflected in the expense information in the Fund's financial statements and the information presented in the table will differ from that presented in the Fund's financial highlights included in the Fund's reports to shareholders.
(2)
Rafferty Asset Management, LLC (“Rafferty” or the “Adviser”), has entered into an Operating Expense Limitation Agreement with the Fund. Under the Operating Expense Limitation Agreement, Rafferty has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse the Fund for Other Expenses through September 1, 2024, to the extent that the Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses exceed 1.35% of the Fund’s average daily net assets (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).
Any expense waiver or reimbursement is subject to recoupment by the Adviser within the three years after the expense was waived/reimbursed only if overall Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses fall below the lesser of this percentage limitation and any percentage limitation in place at the time the expense was waived/reimbursed. This agreement may be terminated or revised at any time with the consent of the Board of Trustees.
Example - This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its portfolio. However, this portfolio turnover is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives.

If such instruments were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.
Principal Investment Strategy
The Index is designed to be comprised of stocks that are the 500 leading, large-cap U.S.-listed issuers. It selects constituents 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 and market capitalization-weighted index.
As of October 31, 2022, the Index consisted of 503 constituents, which had a median total market capitalization of $28.8 billion, total market capitalizations ranging from $3.4 billion to $2.5 trillion and were concentrated in the information technology and healthcare sectors. The Index is rebalanced quarterly.
The components of the Index and the percentages represented by various sectors in the Index may change over time. The Fund will concentrate its investment in a particular industry or group of industries (i.e., hold 25% or more of its total assets in investments that provide inverse exposure to a particular industry or group of industries) to approximately the same extent as the Index is so concentrated.
The Fund, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets (plus borrowing for investment purposes) in swap agreements, futures contracts, short positions or other financial instruments that provide inverse (opposite) or short calendar month exposure to the Index or to ETFs that track the Index, which, in combination, provider returns consistent with the Fund’s investment objective.
The Fund is designed to lose money when the Index rises, which is a result that is the opposite from traditional index tracking funds. In order to achieve its monthly inverse investment objective, the Fund may invest in a combination of financial instruments, such as swaps that provide short exposure to the Index or to an ETF that tracks the same Index or a substantially similar index, short securities of the Index or short an ETF that tracks the same Index or a substantially similar index, or short futures contracts that provide short exposure to the Index. The Fund may gain inverse leveraged exposure utilizing financial instruments that provide short exposure to a representative sample of the securities in the Index that have aggregate characteristics similar to those of the Index. The Fund invests in derivatives as a substitute for directly shorting securities in order to gain inverse leveraged exposure to the Index or its components. On a day-to-day basis, the Fund is expected to hold money market funds, deposit accounts with institutions with high quality credit ratings, and/or short-term debt instruments that have terms-to-maturity of less than 397 days and exhibit high quality credit profiles, including U.S. government securities and repurchase agreements. The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times consistent with its stated inverse leveraged investment objective.
Because a significant portion of the assets of the Fund may come from investors using “asset allocation” and “market timing” investment strategies, the Fund may engage in frequent trading.
The Fund is “non-diversified,” meaning that a relatively high percentage of its assets may be invested in a limited number of issuers of securities. Additionally, the Fund’s investment objective is not a fundamental policy and may be changed by the Fund’s Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.
Principal Investment Risks
An investment in the Fund entails risk. The Fund may not achieve its inverse leveraged investment objective and there is a risk that you could lose all of your money invested in the Fund. The Fund is not a complete investment program. In addition, the Fund presents risks not traditionally associated with most mutual funds. It is important that investors closely review all of the risks listed below and understand them before making an investment in the Fund. While the realization of certain of the risks described below may benefit the Fund due to its inverse investment objective, such occurrences may introduce more volatility to the Fund, which could have a significant negative impact on Fund performance.
Effects of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk - The Fund has a monthly leveraged investment objective and the Fund’s performance for periods greater than a full calendar month, which is defined as the period from the end of the last business day of one calendar month through the close of trading on the last business day of the following calendar month, will be the result of each month's returns compounded over the period, which is very likely to differ from -175% of the Index’s performance, before fees and expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but has a more significant impact on funds that are inverse leveraged and that rebalance monthly and becomes more pronounced as volatility and holding periods increase. The impact of compounding will impact each shareholder differently depending on the period of time an investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of the Index during the shareholder’s holding period of an investment in the Fund.
The chart below provides examples of how Index volatility and its return could affect the Fund’s performance. Fund performance for periods greater than one calendar month can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: a) Index volatility; b) Index performance; c) period of time; d) financing rates associated with inverse leveraged exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and f) dividends or interest paid with respect to securities of the Index. The chart below illustrates the impact of two principal factors – Index volatility and Index performance – on Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of Index volatility and Index performance over a one-year period. Performance shown in the chart assumes that: (i) no dividends were paid with respect to the securities included in the Index; (ii) there were no Fund expenses; and (iii) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain inverse leveraged exposure) of 0%. If Fund expenses and/or actual borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the estimated returns would be different than those shown. Particularly during periods of higher Index volatility, compounding will cause results for periods longer than a full calendar month to vary from -175% of the performance of the Index.

Direxion Funds Prospectus

As shown in the chart below, the Fund would be expected to lose 14% if the Index provided no return over a one year period during which the Index experienced annualized volatility of 25%. At higher ranges of volatility, there is a chance of a significant loss of value in the Fund, even if the Index’s return is flat. For instance, if the Index’s annualized volatility is 100%, the Fund would be expected to lose 91% of its value, even if the cumulative Index return for the year was 0%. Areas shaded red (or dark gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than -175% of the performance of the Index and those shaded green (or light gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return more than -175% of the performance of the Index. The table below is not a representation of the Fund’s actual returns, which may be significantly better or worse than the returns shown below as a result of any of the factors discussed above or in “Monthly Inverse Index Correlation Risk” below. The volatility of exchange traded securities or instruments that reflect the value of the Index may differ from the volatility of the Index.

The Index’s annualized historical volatility rate for the five year period ended September 30, 2022 was 21.29%. The Index’s highest volatility rate for any twelve-month period (October 1 to September 30) was 34.04% and volatility for a shorter period of time may have been substantially higher. The Index’s annualized performance for the five-year period ended September 30, 2022 was 9.23%. Historical Index volatility and performance are not indications of what the Index volatility and performance will be in the future. The volatility of ETFs or instruments that reflect the value of the Index, such as swaps, may differ from the volatility of the Index.
For information regarding the effects of volatility and Index performance on the long-term performance of the Fund, see “Additional Information Regarding Investment Techniques and Policies” in the Fund’s statutory prospectus, and “Negative Implications of Leveraged Monthly Goals In Volatile Markets” in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.
Leverage Risk The Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its net assets by utilizing leverage and may lose more money in market conditions that are adverse to its investment objective than a fund that does not utilize
leverage. An investment in the Fund is exposed to the risk that a rise in the monthly performance of the Index will be magnified. This means that an investment in the Fund will be reduced by an amount equal to 1.75% for every 1% monthly rise in the Index, not including the costs of financing leverage and other operating expenses, which would further reduce its value. The Fund could theoretically lose an amount greater than its net assets in the event of an Index rise of more than 58%. This would result in a total loss of a shareholder’s investment in one day even if the Index subsequently moves in the opposite direction and eliminates all or a portion of its earlier daily change. A total loss may occur in a single day even if the Index does not lose all of its value. Leverage will also have the effect of magnifying any differences in the Fund’s correlation with the Index and may increase the volatility of the Fund.
Due to the limited availability of necessary investments or financial instruments, the Fund could, among other things, as a defensive measure, limit or suspend purchases or redemptions of Fund shares until the Adviser determines that the requisite exposure to the Index is obtainable. The Fund may also change its investment objective by, for example, seeking to track an alternative index, or lowering its leverage multiple or the Fund could close.
Derivatives Risk Derivatives are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest rates or indexes. Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks, and may result in larger losses or smaller gains, than investing directly in the reference assets underlying those derivatives, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
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 correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions. The performance of a derivative may not track the performance of its reference asset for various reasons, including due to fees and other costs associated with it. Additionally, a swap on an ETF may not closely track the performance of the Index due to costs associated with trading ETFs, such as an ETF’s premium or discount and the difference between its market price and its net asset value. If the Index has a dramatic intraday increase or decrease that causes a material change in the Fund’s net assets, the terms of a swap agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close the swap agreement with the Fund. In that event, the Fund may not be able to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective. This may occur even if the Index reverses all or a portion of its intraday movement by the end of the day. Because derivatives often require only a limited initial investment, the use of derivatives may expose the Fund to losses in excess of the amount initially invested. As a result, the value of an investment in the Fund may change quickly and without warning. Additionally, any
Direxion Funds Prospectus
10

financing, borrowing or other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the effect of lowering the Fund’s return.
Counterparty Risk A counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its contractual obligations or may fail to return holdings that are subject to the agreement with the counterparty. If the counterparty or its affiliate becomes insolvent, bankrupt or defaults on its payment obligations to the Fund, the value of an investment held by the Fund may decline. Additionally, if any collateral posted by the counterparty for the benefit of the Fund is insufficient or there are delays in the Fund’s ability to access such collateral, the Fund may not be able to achieve its inverse leveraged investment objective.
In addition, the Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of counterparties, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit risk. Further, there is a risk that no suitable counterparties will be willing to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the Fund and, as a result, the Fund may not be able to achieve its inverse leveraged investment objective or may decide to change its inverse leveraged investment objective.
Rebalancing Risk If for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a part of its portfolio, or if all or a portion of the portfolio is rebalanced incorrectly, the Fund’s investment exposure may not be consistent with its investment objective. In these instances, the Fund may have investment exposure to the Index that is significantly greater or significantly less than its stated multiple. The Fund may be more exposed to leverage risk than if it had been properly rebalanced and may not achieve its investment objective, leading to significantly greater losses or reduced gains.
Shorting Risk – A short position is a financial transaction in which an investor sells an asset that the investor does not own. In such a transaction, an investor’s short position appreciates when a reference asset falls in value. By contrast, the short position loses value when the reference asset’s value increases. Because historically most assets have risen in value over the long term, short positions are expected to depreciate in value. Accordingly, short positions may be riskier and more speculative than traditional investments. In addition, any income, dividends or payments by reference assets in which the Fund has a short position will impose expenses on the Fund that reduce returns.
The Fund may obtain short exposure through the use of derivatives, such as swap agreements or futures contracts. To the extent that the Fund obtains short exposure from derivatives, the Fund may be exposed to heightened volatility or limited liquidity related to the reference asset of the underlying short position, which will adversely impact the Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective or adversely impact its performance. If the Fund were to experience this volatility or decreased liquidity, the Fund may be required to obtain short exposure through alternative investment strategies that may be less desirable or more costly to implement. If the reference asset underlying the short position is thinly traded or has a limited market, there may be a lack of available securities or counterparties for the Fund
to enter into a short position or obtain short exposure from a derivative.
Intra-Calendar Month Investment Risk The Fund seeks calendar month inverse leveraged investment results. The exact exposure of an investment in the Fund intra-month will depend upon the movement of the Index from the end of the prior calendar month until the time of investment by the investor. If the Index loses value, the Fund’s net assets will rise by the same amount as the Fund’s exposure. Conversely, if the Index gains value, the Fund’s net assets will decline by the same amount as the Fund’s exposure. Thus, an investor who purchases shares on a day other than the last business day of a calendar month will likely obtain more, or less, than -175% leveraged investment exposure to the Index, depending upon the movement of the Index from the end of the prior calendar month until the time of investment by the investor.
If there is a significant intra-month market event and/or the securities of the Index experience a significant decrease, the Fund may not meet its investment objective or be able to rebalance its portfolio appropriately.
Monthly Inverse Index Correlation Risk There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of monthly inverse leveraged correlation to the Index. A number of factors may adversely affect the Fund’s inverse correlation with the Index, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs related to the use of derivatives, use of an ETF as a reference asset for derivative instruments, income items, valuation methodology, accounting standards, significant purchase and redemption activity by Fund shareholders and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities or derivatives held by the Fund.
In order to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index, the Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio on a monthly basis to keep exposure consistent with its inverse leveraged investment objective. Being materially over- or under-exposed to the Index may prevent the Fund from achieving a high degree of correlation with the Index. Market disruptions, regulatory restrictions or extreme volatility will also adversely affect the Fund’s ability to adjust exposure to the required levels. The target amount of portfolio exposure is impacted by the Index’s movement, thus it is unlikely the Fund will have perfect exposure (-175%) to the Index on the rebalance date and the likelihood of the Fund being materially over- or under-exposed is higher on days when the Index experiences volatility near the close of the trading day.
The Fund may not have inverse exposure to all securities in the Index, or its weighting of inverse exposure to such stocks or industries may be different from that of the Index. In addition, the Fund may invest in, or have exposure to, financial instruments not included in the Index. The Fund may also take, or refrain from taking, certain positions in order to improve tax efficiency or comply with regulatory restriction, either of which may negatively impact the Fund’s correlation with the Index. The 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 the Index. Activities surrounding Index reconstitutions and other Index repositioning events may hinder the Fund’s ability
11
Direxion Funds Prospectus

to meet its calendar month inverse leveraged investment objective.
Market Risk The Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of issuers, general market liquidity, exchange trading suspensions and closures, and public health risks. The Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt the securities, swap agreements or futures contract markets and adversely affect global economies, markets and exchanges. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, conflicts and social unrest or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund, its investments, and the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.
Healthcare Sector Risk The profitability of companies in the healthcare sector may be affected by extensive, costly and uncertain government regulation, restrictions on government reimbursement for medical expenses, rising costs of medical products and services, pricing pressure, changes in the demand for medical products and services, an increased emphasis on outpatient services, limited product lines, industry innovation and/or consolidation, changes in technologies and other market developments. Many healthcare companies are heavily dependent on patent protection, which may be time consuming and costly. The expiration of patents may adversely affect the profitability of these companies. Many healthcare companies are subject to extensive litigation based on product liability and similar claims. Healthcare companies are subject to competitive forces that may make it difficult to raise prices and, in fact, may result in price discounting. Many new products in the healthcare sector require significant research and development and may be subject to regulatory approvals. The process of obtaining such approvals may be long and costly with no guarantee that any product will come to market.
Information Technology Sector Risk The value of stocks of information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence, government regulation, and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from competitors with lower production costs. In addition, many information technology companies have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. The prices of information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile and less liquid than the overall market. Information technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect profitability. Additionally, companies in the information technology sector may face dramatic and often unpredictable
changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel.
Large-Capitalization Company Risk Large-capitalization companies may be less able to adapt to changing market conditions or to respond quickly to competitive challenges or to changes in business, product, financial, or market conditions and may not be able to maintain growth at rates that may be achieved by well-managed smaller and mid-size companies, which may affect the companies’ returns.
Mid-Capitalization Company Risk - Mid-capitalization companies often have narrower markets for their goods and/or services, more limited product lines, services, markets, managerial and financial resources, less stable earnings, or are dependent on a small management group. In addition, because these stocks are not well known to the investing public, do not have significant institutional ownership and are followed by relatively few security analysts, there will normally be less publicly available information concerning these securities compared to what is available for the securities of larger companies. As a result, the price of mid-capitalization companies can be more volatile and they may be less liquid than large-capitalization companies, which could increase the volatility of the Fund’s portfolio.
Early Close/Trading Halt Risk An exchange or market may close or issue trading halts on specific securities of financial instruments or restrict the ability to buy or sell certain portfolio securities or financial instruments, which may result in the Fund being unable to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments. In such circumstances, the Fund may be unable to accurately price its investments, may incur significant tracking differences with its Index, may incur substantial losses and may limit or stop purchases of the Fund.
Equity Securities Risk Publicly issued equity securities, including common stocks, are subject to market risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Fluctuations in the value of equity securities in which the Fund invests, and/or has exposure to, will cause the net asset value of the Fund to fluctuate.
Market Timing Activity Risk Rafferty expects a significant portion of the assets of the Fund to come from professional money managers and investors who use the Fund as part of “asset allocation” and “market timing” investment strategies. These strategies often call for frequent trading, which may lead to large shareholder transactions into and out of the Fund. These large movements of assets may lead to increased portfolio turnover, higher transaction costs and the possibility of increased net realized capital gains, including net short-term capital gains. Additionally, these large movement of assets may have a negative impact on the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund’s expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus.
Money Market Instrument Risk The Fund may use a variety of money market instruments for cash management purposes, including money market funds, depositary accounts and repurchase agreements. Money market funds may be subject to credit risk with respect to the debt instruments
Direxion Funds Prospectus
12

in which they invest. Depository accounts may be subject to credit risk with respect to the financial institution in which the depository account is held. Repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk related to the collateral securing the repurchase agreement. Money market instruments may lose money.
Non-Diversification Risk The Fund is non-diversified, which means it invests a high percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities. Additionally, the Fund may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in swap agreements with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may result in the Fund experiencing increased volatility and its net asset value and total return may fluctuate more or fall greater in times of weaker markets than a diversified fund.
Fund Performance
The following performance information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by demonstrating how its returns have varied from calendar year to calendar year. The bar chart shows changes in the Fund’s performance from calendar year to calendar year. The table shows how the Fund’s average annual returns for the one-year, five-year and ten-year periods compare with those of one or more broad-based market indexes for the same periods. The Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance is available on the Fund’s website at www.direxion.com/mutual-funds?producttab=performance or by calling the Fund toll-free at (800) 851-0511.
The performance noted below, and prior to August 1, 2022, reflects the Fund’s previous monthly inverse leveraged investment objective, before fees and expenses, of -200% of the Index.

After-tax returns are calculated using the historically highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown, and after-tax returns are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. In addition, the "Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares" is higher because the calculation recognizes a capital loss upon the redemption of Fund shares and assumes the investor received the benefit of a tax deduction.
Annual returns are required to be shown and should not be interpreted as suggesting that the Fund should or should not be held for long periods of time.

Direxion Monthly NASDAQ-100® Bull 1.75X Fund
Important Information Regarding the Fund
The Direxion Monthly NASDAQ-100® Bull 1.75X Fund (formerly Direxion Monthly NASDAQ-100® Bull 2X Fund) (the “Fund”) seeks calendar month leveraged (1.75X) investment results and is very different from most other mutual funds. As a result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the Fund’s objective is to magnify the monthly performance of the NASDAQ-100® Index (the "Index"). The return for investors that invest for periods longer or shorter than a full calendar month, which is defined as the period from the end of the last business day of one calendar month through the close of trading on the last business day of the following calendar month, should not be expected to be 175% of the performance of the Index for the period. The return of the Fund for a period longer than a full calendar month will be the result of each full calendar month’s compounded return over the period, which will very likely differ from 175% of the return of the Index for that period. Longer holding periods, higher volatility of the Index and leverage increase the impact of compounding on an investor’s returns. During periods of higher Index volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the Fund’s return as much as, or more than, the return of the Index.
The Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is designed to be utilized only by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking calendar month leveraged (1.75X) investment results, understand the risks associated with the use of leverage and are willing to monitor their portfolios frequently. The Fund is not intended to be used by, and is not appropriate for, investors who do not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. For periods longer than a calendar month, the Fund will lose money if the Index’s performance is flat, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if the Index’s performance increases. An investor could lose the full principal value of his/her investment within a calendar month if the Index loses more than 58% in one month.
Investment Objective
The Fund seeks monthly investment results, before fees and expenses, of 175% of the calendar month performance of the Index. The Fund does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective for a period of time different than a full calendar month.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.

"Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses" include fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund as a result of investments in other investment companies, including investments in money market funds. Because acquired fund fees and expenses are not borne directly by the Fund, they will not be reflected in the expense information in the Fund's financial statements and the information presented in the table will differ from that presented in the Fund's financial highlights included in the Fund's reports to shareholders.
(2)
Rafferty Asset Management, LLC (“Rafferty” or the “Adviser”), has entered into an Operating Expense Limitation Agreement with the Fund. Under the Operating Expense Limitation Agreement, Rafferty has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse the Fund for Other Expenses through September 1, 2024, to the extent that the Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses exceed 1.35% of the Fund’s average daily net assets (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).
Any expense waiver or reimbursement is subject to recoupment by the Adviser within the three years after the expense was waived/reimbursed only if overall Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses fall below the lesser of this percentage limitation and any percentage limitation in place at the time the expense was waived/reimbursed. This agreement may be terminated or revised at any time with the consent of the Board of Trustees.
Example - This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its portfolio. However, this portfolio turnover is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives.
15
Direxion Funds Prospectus

If such instruments were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.
Principal Investment Strategy
The Index is a modified market capitalization-weighted index and includes 100 of the largest domestic and international non-financial companies listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market® based on market capitalization. The Index reflects companies across major industry groups including computer hardware and software, communication services, retail/wholesale trade and biotechnology. It does not contain securities of financial companies or investment companies. Each security must have been traded for at least three full months and have a minimum three-month average daily trading volume of 200,000 shares. The Index is reviewed on an annual basis in December.
As of October 31, 2022, the Index consisted of 102 securities and had an average market capitalization of $134.5 billion, median market capitalization of $50.4 billion, total market capitalizations ranging from $8.9 billion to $2.4 trillion and were concentrated in the information technology, consumer discretionary, and communication services sectors.
The components of the Index and the percentages represented by various sectors in the Index may change over time. The Fund will concentrate its investment in a particular industry or group of industries (i.e., hold 25% or more of its total assets in the stocks of a particular industry or group of industries) to approximately the same extent as the Index is so concentrated.
The Fund, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowing for investment purposes) in securities of the Index, exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") that track the Index and other financial instruments that provide monthly leveraged exposure to the Index or to ETFs that track the Index, which, in combination, provide returns consistent with the Fund’s investment objective. The financial instruments in which the Fund most commonly invests are swap contracts which are intended to produce economically leveraged investment results.
The Fund may invest in the securities of the Index, an ETF that tracks the Index, or utilize derivatives such as swaps on the Index, swaps on an ETF that tracks the Index or a substantially similar index as the Fund, or futures contracts to obtain leveraged exposure to the securities or a representative sample of the securities in the Index that have aggregate characteristics similar to those of the Index. On a day-to-day basis, the Fund is expected to hold money market funds, deposit accounts with institutions with high quality credit ratings, and/or short-term debt instruments that have terms-to-maturity of less than 397 days and exhibit high quality credit profiles, including U.S. government securities and repurchase agreements. The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times consistent with its stated investment objective.
Because a significant portion of the assets of the Fund may come from investors using “asset allocation” and “market timing” investment strategies, the Fund may engage in frequent trading.
The Fund is “non-diversified,” meaning that a relatively high percentage of its assets may be invested in a limited number of issuers of securities. Additionally, the Fund’s investment objective is not a fundamental policy and may be changed by the Fund’s Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.
Principal Investment Risks
An investment in the Fund entails risk. The Fund may not achieve its leveraged investment objective and there is a risk that you could lose all of your money invested in the Fund. The Fund is not a complete investment program. In addition, the Fund presents risks not traditionally associated with most mutual funds. It is important that investors closely review all of the risks listed below and understand them before making an investment in the Fund.
Effects of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk - The Fund has a monthly leveraged investment objective and the Fund’s performance for periods greater than a full calendar month, which is defined as the period from the end of the last business day of one calendar month through the close of trading on the last business day of the following calendar month, will be the result of each month's returns compounded over the period, which is very likely to differ from 175% of the Index’s performance, before fees and expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but has a more significant impact on funds that are leveraged and that rebalance monthly and becomes more pronounced as volatility and holding periods increase. The impact of compounding will impact each shareholder differently depending on the period of time an investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of the Index during the shareholder’s holding period of an investment in the Fund.
The chart below provides examples of how Index volatility and its return could affect the Fund’s performance. Fund performance for periods greater than one calendar month can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: a) Index volatility; b) Index performance; c) period of time; d) financing rates associated with leveraged exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and f) dividends or interest paid with respect to securities of the Index. The chart below illustrates the impact of two principal factors – Index volatility and Index performance – on Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of Index volatility and Index performance over a one-year period. Performance shown in the chart assumes that: (i) no dividends were paid with respect to the securities included in the Index; (ii) there were no Fund expenses; and (iii) borrowing/lending rates of 0%. If Fund expenses and/or actual borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the estimated returns would be different than those shown. Particularly during periods of higher Index volatility, compounding will cause results for periods longer than a full calendar month to vary from 175% of the performance of the Index.
As shown in the chart below, the Fund would be expected to lose 4% if the Index provided no return over a one year period during which the Index experienced annualized volatility of 25%. At higher ranges of volatility, there is a chance of a significant loss of value in the Fund, even if the Index’s return is flat. For instance, if the Index’s annualized volatility is 100%, the Fund would be expected to lose 48.1%

of its value, even if the cumulative Index return for the year was 0%. Areas shaded red (or dark gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than 175% of the performance of the Index and those shaded green (or light gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return more than 175% of the performance of the Index. The table below is not a representation of the Fund’s actual returns, which may be significantly better or worse than the returns shown below as a result of any of the factors discussed above or in “Monthly Index Correlation Risk” below. The volatility of exchange traded securities or instruments that reflect the value of the Index may differ from the volatility of the Index.

The Index’s annualized historical volatility rate for the five year period ended September 30, 2022 was 25.71%. The Index’s highest volatility rate for any twelve-month period (October 1 to September 30) was 35.27% and volatility for a shorter period of time may have been substantially higher. The Index’s annualized performance for the five-year period ended September 30, 2022 was 13.94%. Historical Index volatility and performance are not indications of what the Index volatility and performance will be in the future. The volatility of ETFs or instruments that reflect the value of the Index, such as swaps, may differ from the volatility of the Index.
For information regarding the effects of volatility and Index performance on the long-term performance of the Fund, see “Additional Information Regarding Investment Techniques and Policies” in the Fund’s statutory prospectus, and “Negative Implications of Leveraged Monthly Goals In Volatile Markets” in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.
Leverage Risk The Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its net assets by utilizing leverage and may lose more money in market conditions that are adverse to its investment objective than a fund that does not utilize leverage. An investment in the Fund is exposed to the risk that a decline in the monthly performance of the Index will be magnified. This means that an investment in the Fund will be reduced by an amount equal to 1.75% for every 1% monthly decline in the Index, not including the costs of financing leverage and other operating expenses, which would further reduce its value. The Fund could theoretically
lose an amount greater than its net assets in the event of an Index decline of more than 58%. This would result in a total loss of a shareholder’s investment in one day even if the Index subsequently moves in the opposite direction and eliminates all or a portion of its earlier daily change. A total loss may occur in a single day even if the Index does not lose all of its value. Leverage will also have the effect of magnifying any differences in the Fund’s correlation with the Index and may increase the volatility of the Fund.
Due to the limited availability of necessary investments or financial instruments, the Fund could, among other things, as a defensive measure, limit or suspend purchases or redemptions of Fund shares until the Adviser determines that the requisite exposure to the Index is obtainable. The Fund may also change its investment objective by, for example, seeking to track an alternative index, or lowering its leverage multiple or the Fund could close.
Derivatives Risk Derivatives are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest rates or indexes. Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks, and may result in larger losses or smaller gains, than investing directly in the reference assets underlying those derivatives, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
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 correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions. The performance of a derivative may not track the performance of its reference asset for various reasons, including due to fees and other costs associated with it. Additionally, a swap on an ETF may not closely track the performance of the Index due to costs associated with trading ETFs, such as an ETF’s premium or discount and the difference between its market price and its net asset value. If the Index has a dramatic intraday increase or decrease that causes a material change in the Fund’s net assets, the terms of a swap agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close the swap agreement with the Fund. In that event, the Fund may not be able to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective. This may occur even if the Index reverses all or a portion of its intraday movement by the end of the day. Because derivatives often require only a limited initial investment, the use of derivatives may expose the Fund to losses in excess of the amount initially invested. As a result, the value of an investment in the Fund may change quickly and without warning. Additionally, any financing, borrowing or other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the effect of lowering the Fund’s return.
Counterparty Risk A counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its contractual obligations or may fail to return holdings that are subject
17
Direxion Funds Prospectus

to the agreement with the counterparty. If the counterparty or its affiliate becomes insolvent, bankrupt or defaults on its payment obligations to the Fund, the value of an investment held by the Fund may decline. Additionally, if any collateral posted by the counterparty for the benefit of the Fund is insufficient or there are delays in the Fund’s ability to access such collateral, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment objective.
In addition, the Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of counterparties, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit risk. Further, there is a risk that no suitable counterparties will be willing to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the Fund and, as a result, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment objective or may decide to change its leveraged investment objective.
Rebalancing Risk If for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a part of its portfolio, or if all or a portion of the portfolio is rebalanced incorrectly, the Fund’s investment exposure may not be consistent with its investment objective. In these instances, the Fund may have investment exposure to the Index that is significantly greater or significantly less than its stated multiple. The Fund may be more exposed to leverage risk than if it had been properly rebalanced and may not achieve its investment objective, leading to significantly greater losses or reduced gains.
Intra-Calendar Month Investment Risk The Fund seeks calendar month leveraged investment results. The exact exposure of an investment in the Fund intra-month will depend upon the movement of the Index from the end of the prior calendar month until the time of investment by the investor. If the Index gains value, the Fund’s net assets will rise by the same amount as the Fund’s exposure. Conversely, if the Index loses value, the Fund’s net assets will decline by the same amount as the Fund’s exposure. Thus, an investor who purchases shares on a day other than the last business day of a calendar month will likely obtain more, or less, than 175% leveraged investment exposure to the Index, depending upon the movement of the Index from the end of the prior calendar month until the time of investment by the investor.
If there is a significant intra-month market event and/or the securities of the Index experience a significant decrease, the Fund may not meet its investment objective or be able to rebalance its portfolio appropriately.
Monthly Index Correlation Risk There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation with its monthly leveraged investment objective relative to the Index. A number of factors may adversely affect the Fund’s correlation with the Index, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs related to the use of derivatives, investments in ETFs, directly or indirectly as a reference asset for derivative instruments, income items, valuation methodology, accounting standards, significant purchase and redemption activity by Fund shareholders and illiquidity in the markets for the securities or derivatives held by the Fund. Market disruptions, regulatory restrictions or extreme volatility will also adversely affect the Fund’s ability to adjust exposure to the required levels.
Due to the Index including instruments that trade on a different market than the Fund, the Fund's return may vary from a multiple of the performance of the Index because different markets may close before the New York Stock Exchange opens or may not be open for business on the same calendar days as the Fund. Additionally, due to differences in trading hours, and because the Index may be calculated using prices obtained at times other than the Fund's net asset value calculation time, the Fund's performance may not correlate the Index.
In order to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index, the Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio on a monthly basis to keep exposure consistent with its leveraged investment objective. Being materially over- or under-exposed to the Index may prevent the Fund from achieving a high degree of correlation with the Index. The target amount of portfolio exposure is impacted by the Index’s movement, thus it is unlikely the Fund will have perfect exposure (175%) to the Index on the rebalance date and the likelihood of the Fund being materially over- or under-exposed is higher on days when the Index experiences volatility near the close of the trading day.
The Fund may not have investment exposure to all securities in the Index, or its weighting of investment exposure to such stocks or industries may be different from that of the Index. In addition, the Fund may invest in, or have exposure to, securities or financial instruments not included in the Index. The Fund may also take or refrain from taking certain positions in order to improve tax efficiency or comply with regulatory restriction, either of which may negatively impact the Fund’s correlation with the Index. The 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 the Index. Activities surrounding Index reconstitutions and other Index repositioning events may hinder the Fund’s ability to meet its calendar month leveraged investment objective.
Other Investment Companies (including ETFs) Risk
The Fund may invest in another investment company, including an ETF, to pursue its investment objective. When investing in another investment company, including an ETF, the Fund becomes a shareholder of that investment company and as a result, Fund shareholders indirectly bear the Fund’s proportionate share of the fees and expenses of the other investment company, in addition to the fees and expenses of the Fund’s own operations. The Fund must rely on the other investment company to achieve its investment objective. Accordingly, if the other investment company fails to achieve its investment objective, the Fund’s performance will likely be adversely affected. To the extent that the Fund obtains exposure to another investment company, including an ETF, by entering into a derivative contract whose reference asset is the investment company, the Fund will not be a shareholder of the other investment company but will still be exposed to the risk that it may fail to achieve its investment objective and adversely impact the Fund. In addition, to the extent that the Fund invests in an investment company that is an ETF, it will be exposed to all of the risks associated with the ETF structure. Shares of ETFs are listed and traded on national stock exchanges, their shares may trade at a discount

or a premium to an ETF’s net asset value which may result in an ETF’s market price being more or less than the value of the index that the ETF tracks especially during periods of market volatility or disruption. There may also be additional trading costs due to an ETF’s bid-ask spread, which may adversely affect the Fund’s performance.
Market Risk The Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of issuers, general market liquidity, exchange trading suspensions and closures, and public health risks. The Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt the securities, swap agreements or futures contract markets and adversely affect global economies, markets and exchanges. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, conflicts and social unrest or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund, its investments, and the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.
Liquidity Risk Holdings of the Fund, including derivatives, may be difficult to buy or sell or be illiquid, particularly during times of market turmoil. Illiquid securities may be difficult to value, especially in changing or volatile markets. If the Fund is forced to buy or sell an illiquid security or derivative instrument at an unfavorable time or price, the Fund may be adversely impacted. Certain market conditions or restrictions, such as market rules related to short sales, may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving a high correlation with the index. There is no assurance that a security or derivative instrument that is deemed liquid when purchased will continue to be liquid. Market illiquidity may cause losses for the Fund. To the extent that a Fund's Index decreases, the Fund may be one of many market participants that are attempting to transact in the securities of the Index.
In certain cases, the market for certain securities in the Index and/or Fund may lack sufficient liquidity for all market participants' trades. Therefore, the Fund may have difficulty transacting in it and/or in correlated investments, such as swap contracts. Further, the Fund's transactions could exacerbate illiquidity and volatility in the price of the securities and correlated derivative instruments.
Communication Services Sector Risk The communication services sector may be dominated by a small number of companies which may lead to additional volatility in the sector. Communication services companies are particularly vulnerable to the potential obsolescence of products and services due to technological advances and the innovation of competitors. Communication services companies may also be affected by other competitive pressures, such as pricing competition, as well as research and development costs, substantial capital requirements, and government regulation. Fluctuating domestic and international demand, shifting demographics, and often unpredictable changes in consumer
demand can drastically affect a communication services company’s profitability. Compliance with governmental regulations, delays or failure to receive regulatory approvals, or the enactment of new regulatory requirements may negatively affect the business of telecommunication services companies. Certain companies in the communication services sector may be particular targets of network security breaches, hacking and potential theft of proprietary or consumer information, or disruptions in services, which would have a material adverse effect on their businesses.
Consumer Discretionary Sector Risk Because companies in the consumer discretionary sector manufacture products and provide discretionary services directly to the consumer, the success of these companies is tied closely to the performance of the overall domestic and international economy, including the functioning of the global supply chain, interest rates, competition and consumer confidence. Success depends heavily on disposable household income and consumer spending, and may be strongly affected by social trends and marketing campaigns. Also, companies in the consumer discretionary sector may be subject to severe competition, which may have an adverse impact on a company’s profitability. Changes in demographics and consumer tastes also can affect the demand for, and success of, consumer discretionary products in the marketplace.
Information Technology Sector Risk The value of stocks of information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence, government regulation, and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from competitors with lower production costs. In addition, many information technology companies have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. The prices of information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile and less liquid than the overall market. Information technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect profitability. Additionally, companies in the information technology sector may face dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel.
Large-Capitalization Company Risk Large-capitalization companies may be less able to adapt to changing market conditions or to respond quickly to competitive challenges or to changes in business, product, financial, or market conditions and may not be able to maintain growth at rates that may be achieved by well-managed smaller and mid-size companies, which may affect the companies’ returns.
Depositary Receipt Risk To the extent the Fund invests in, and/or has exposure to, foreign companies, the Fund’s investment may be in the form of depositary receipts or other securities convertible into securities of foreign issuers including American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), European Depositary Receipts (“EDRs”), and Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”). Such investments continue to be subject to most
19
Direxion Funds Prospectus

of the risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities, including political and exchange rate risks.
Foreign Securities Risk Investing in, and/or having exposure to, foreign instruments may involve greater risks than investing in domestic instruments. As a result, the Fund’s returns and net asset value 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. Additionally, the Fund may be impacted by a limitation on foreign ownership of securities, the imposition of withholding or other taxes, restrictions on the repatriation of cash or other assets, higher transaction and custody costs, delays in the settlement of securities, difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations and lower levels of regulation in the securities markets.
Early Close/Trading Halt Risk An exchange or market may close or issue trading halts on specific securities of financial instruments or restrict the ability to buy or sell certain portfolio securities or financial instruments, which may result in the Fund being unable to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments. In such circumstances, the Fund may be unable to accurately price its investments, may incur significant tracking differences with its Index, may incur substantial losses and may limit or stop purchases of the Fund.
Equity Securities Risk Publicly issued equity securities, including common stocks, are subject to market risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Fluctuations in the value of equity securities in which the Fund invests, and/or has exposure to, will cause the net asset value of the Fund to fluctuate.
Market Timing Activity Risk Rafferty expects a significant portion of the assets of the Fund to come from professional money managers and investors who use the Fund as part of “asset allocation” and “market timing” investment strategies. These strategies often call for frequent trading, which may lead to large shareholder transactions into and out of the Fund. These large movements of assets may lead to increased portfolio turnover, higher transaction costs and the possibility of increased net realized capital gains, including net short-term capital gains. Additionally, these large movement of assets may have a negative impact on the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund’s expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus.
Money Market Instrument Risk The Fund may use a variety of money market instruments for cash management purposes, including money market funds, depositary accounts and repurchase agreements. Money market funds may be subject to credit risk with respect to the debt instruments in which they invest. Depository accounts may be subject to credit risk with respect to the financial institution in which the depository account is held. Repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk related to the collateral
securing the repurchase agreement. Money market instruments may lose money.
Non-Diversification Risk The Fund is non-diversified, which means it invests a high percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities. Additionally, the Fund may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in swap agreements with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may result in the Fund experiencing increased volatility and its net asset value and total return may fluctuate more or fall greater in times of weaker markets than a diversified fund.

Direxion Monthly Small Cap Bull 1.75X Fund
Important Information Regarding the Fund
The Direxion Monthly Small Cap Bull 1.75X Fund (formerly Direxion Monthly Small Cap Bull 2X Fund) (the “Fund”) seeks calendar month leveraged (1.75X) investment results and is very different from most other mutual funds. As a result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the Fund’s objective is to magnify the monthly performance of the Russell 2000® Index (the "Index"). The return for investors that invest for periods longer or shorter than a full calendar month, which is defined as the period from the end of the last business day of one calendar month through the close of trading on the last business day of the following calendar month, should not be expected to be 175% of the performance of the Index for the period. The return of the Fund for a period longer than a full calendar month will be the result of each full calendar month’s compounded return over the period, which will very likely differ from 175% of the return of the Index for that period. Longer holding periods, higher volatility of the Index and leverage increase the impact of compounding on an investor’s returns. During periods of higher Index volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the Fund’s return as much as, or more than, the return of the Index.
The Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is designed to be utilized only by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking calendar month leveraged (1.75X) investment results, understand the risks associated with the use of leverage and are willing to monitor their portfolios frequently. The Fund is not intended to be used by, and is not appropriate for, investors who do not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. For periods longer than a calendar month, the Fund will lose money if the Index’s performance is flat, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if the Index’s performance increases. An investor could lose the full principal value of his/her investment within a calendar month if the Index loses more than 58% in one month.
Investment Objective
The Fund seeks monthly investment results, before fees and expenses, of 175% of the calendar month performance of the Index. The Fund does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective for a period of time different than a full calendar month.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.

"Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses" include fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund as a result of investments in other investment companies, including investments in money market funds. Because acquired fund fees and expenses are not borne directly by the Fund, they will not be reflected in the expense information in the Fund's financial statements and the information presented in the table will differ from that presented in the Fund's financial highlights included in the Fund's reports to shareholders.
(2)
Rafferty Asset Management, LLC (“Rafferty” or the “Adviser”), has entered into an Operating Expense Limitation Agreement with the Fund. Under the Operating Expense Limitation Agreement, Rafferty has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse the Fund for Other Expenses through September 1, 2024, to the extent that the Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses exceed 1.35% of the Fund’s average daily net assets (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).
Any expense waiver or reimbursement is subject to recoupment by the Adviser within the three years after the expense was waived/reimbursed only if overall Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses fall below the lesser of this percentage limitation and any percentage limitation in place at the time the expense was waived/reimbursed. This agreement may be terminated or revised at any time with the consent of the Board of Trustees.
Example - This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 33% of the average value of its portfolio. However, this portfolio turnover is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives.
Direxion Funds Prospectus
22

If such instruments were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.
Principal Investment Strategy
The Index measures the performance of approximately 2,000 small-capitalization companies in the Russell 3000® Index, based on a combination of their market capitalization and current index membership.
As of October 31, 2022, the Index consisted of 1,958 holdings, which had an average market capitalization of $2.8 billion, total market capitalizations ranging from $16.9 million to $13 billion and were concentrated in the healthcare, financials, and industrials sectors.
The components of the Index and the percentages represented by various sectors in the Index may change over time. The Fund will concentrate its investment in a particular industry or group of industries (i.e., hold 25% or more of its total assets in the stocks of a particular industry or group of industries) to approximately the same extent as the Index is so concentrated.
The Fund, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowing for investment purposes) in securities of the Index, exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") that track the Index and other financial instruments that provide monthly leveraged exposure to the Index or to ETFs that track the Index, which, in combination, provide returns consistent with the Fund’s investment objective. The financial instruments in which the Fund most commonly invests are swap contracts which are intended to produce economically leveraged investment results.
The Fund may invest in the securities of the Index, an ETF that tracks the Index, or utilize derivatives such as swaps on the Index, swaps on an ETF that tracks the Index or a substantially similar index as the Fund, or futures contracts to obtain leveraged exposure to the securities or a representative sample of the securities in the Index that have aggregate characteristics similar to those of the Index. On a day-to-day basis, the Fund is expected to hold money market funds, deposit accounts with institutions with high quality credit ratings, and/or short-term debt instruments that have terms-to-maturity of less than 397 days and exhibit high quality credit profiles, including U.S. government securities and repurchase agreements. The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times consistent with its stated investment objective.
Because a significant portion of the assets of the Fund may come from investors using “asset allocation” and “market timing” investment strategies, the Fund may engage in frequent trading.
The Fund is “non-diversified,” meaning that a relatively high percentage of its assets may be invested in a limited number of issuers of securities. Additionally, the Fund’s investment objective is not a fundamental policy and may be changed by the Fund’s Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.
Principal Investment Risks
An investment in the Fund entails risk. The Fund may not achieve its leveraged investment objective and there is a risk that you could lose all of your money invested in the
Fund. The Fund is not a complete investment program. In addition, the Fund presents risks not traditionally associated with most mutual funds. It is important that investors closely review all of the risks listed below and understand them before making an investment in the Fund.
Effects of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk - The Fund has a monthly leveraged investment objective and the Fund’s performance for periods greater than a full calendar month, which is defined as the period from the end of the last business day of one calendar month through the close of trading on the last business day of the following calendar month, will be the result of each month's returns compounded over the period, which is very likely to differ from 175% of the Index’s performance, before fees and expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but has a more significant impact on funds that are leveraged and that rebalance monthly and becomes more pronounced as volatility and holding periods increase. The impact of compounding will impact each shareholder differently depending on the period of time an investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of the Index during the shareholder’s holding period of an investment in the Fund.
The chart below provides examples of how Index volatility and its return could affect the Fund’s performance. Fund performance for periods greater than one calendar month can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: a) Index volatility; b) Index performance; c) period of time; d) financing rates associated with leveraged exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and f) dividends or interest paid with respect to securities of the Index. The chart below illustrates the impact of two principal factors – Index volatility and Index performance – on Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of Index volatility and Index performance over a one-year period. Performance shown in the chart assumes that: (i) no dividends were paid with respect to the securities included in the Index; (ii) there were no Fund expenses; and (iii) borrowing/lending rates of 0%. If Fund expenses and/or actual borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the estimated returns would be different than those shown. Particularly during periods of higher Index volatility, compounding will cause results for periods longer than a full calendar month to vary from 175% of the performance of the Index.
As shown in the chart below, the Fund would be expected to lose 4% if the Index provided no return over a one year period during which the Index experienced annualized volatility of 25%. At higher ranges of volatility, there is a chance of a significant loss of value in the Fund, even if the Index’s return is flat. For instance, if the Index’s annualized volatility is 100%, the Fund would be expected to lose 48.1% of its value, even if the cumulative Index return for the year was 0%. Areas shaded red (or dark gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than 175% of the performance of the Index and those shaded green (or light gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return more than 175% of the performance of the Index. The table below is not a representation of the Fund’s actual returns, which may be significantly better or worse than the returns shown below as a result of any of the factors discussed above or in “Monthly

The Index’s annualized historical volatility rate for the five year period ended September 30, 2022 was 26.65%. The Index’s highest volatility rate for any twelve-month period (October 1 to September 30) was 41.99% and volatility for a shorter period of time may have been substantially higher. The Index’s annualized performance for the five-year period ended September 30, 2022 was 3.55%. Historical Index volatility and performance are not indications of what the Index volatility and performance will be in the future. The volatility of ETFs or instruments that reflect the value of the Index, such as swaps, may differ from the volatility of the Index.
For information regarding the effects of volatility and Index performance on the long-term performance of the Fund, see “Additional Information Regarding Investment Techniques and Policies” in the Fund’s statutory prospectus, and “Negative Implications of Leveraged Monthly Goals In Volatile Markets” in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.
Leverage Risk The Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its net assets by utilizing leverage and may lose more money in market conditions that are adverse to its investment objective than a fund that does not utilize leverage. An investment in the Fund is exposed to the risk that a decline in the monthly performance of the Index will be magnified. This means that an investment in the Fund will be reduced by an amount equal to 1.75% for every 1% monthly decline in the Index, not including the costs of financing leverage and other operating expenses, which would further reduce its value. The Fund could theoretically lose an amount greater than its net assets in the event of an Index decline of more than 58%. This would result in a total loss of a shareholder’s investment in one day even if the Index subsequently moves in the opposite direction and eliminates all or a portion of its earlier daily change. A total loss may occur in a single day even if the Index does not lose all of its value. Leverage will also have the effect of magnifying any differences in the Fund’s correlation with the Index and may increase the volatility of the Fund.
Due to the limited availability of necessary investments or financial instruments, the Fund could, among other things, as a defensive measure, limit or suspend purchases or redemptions of Fund shares until the Adviser determines that the requisite exposure to the Index is obtainable. The Fund may also change its investment objective by, for example, seeking to track an alternative index, or lowering its leverage multiple or the Fund could close.
Derivatives Risk Derivatives are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest rates or indexes. Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks, and may result in larger losses or smaller gains, than investing directly in the reference assets underlying those derivatives, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
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 correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions. The performance of a derivative may not track the performance of its reference asset for various reasons, including due to fees and other costs associated with it. Additionally, a swap on an ETF may not closely track the performance of the Index due to costs associated with trading ETFs, such as an ETF’s premium or discount and the difference between its market price and its net asset value. If the Index has a dramatic intraday increase or decrease that causes a material change in the Fund’s net assets, the terms of a swap agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close the swap agreement with the Fund. In that event, the Fund may not be able to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective. This may occur even if the Index reverses all or a portion of its intraday movement by the end of the day. Because derivatives often require only a limited initial investment, the use of derivatives may expose the Fund to losses in excess of the amount initially invested. As a result, the value of an investment in the Fund may change quickly and without warning. Additionally, any financing, borrowing or other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the effect of lowering the Fund’s return.
Counterparty Risk A counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its contractual obligations or may fail to return holdings that are subject to the agreement with the counterparty. If the counterparty or its affiliate becomes insolvent, bankrupt or defaults on its payment obligations to the Fund, the value of an investment held by the Fund may decline. Additionally, if any collateral posted by the counterparty for the benefit of the Fund is insufficient or there are delays in the Fund’s ability to access such collateral, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment objective.

In addition, the Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of counterparties, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit risk. Further, there is a risk that no suitable counterparties will be willing to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the Fund and, as a result, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment objective or may decide to change its leveraged investment objective.
Rebalancing Risk If for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a part of its portfolio, or if all or a portion of the portfolio is rebalanced incorrectly, the Fund’s investment exposure may not be consistent with its investment objective. In these instances, the Fund may have investment exposure to the Index that is significantly greater or significantly less than its stated multiple. The Fund may be more exposed to leverage risk than if it had been properly rebalanced and may not achieve its investment objective, leading to significantly greater losses or reduced gains.
Intra-Calendar Month Investment Risk The Fund seeks calendar month leveraged investment results. The exact exposure of an investment in the Fund intra-month will depend upon the movement of the Index from the end of the prior calendar month until the time of investment by the investor. If the Index gains value, the Fund’s net assets will rise by the same amount as the Fund’s exposure. Conversely, if the Index loses value, the Fund’s net assets will decline by the same amount as the Fund’s exposure. Thus, an investor who purchases shares on a day other than the last business day of a calendar month will likely obtain more, or less, than 175% leveraged investment exposure to the Index, depending upon the movement of the Index from the end of the prior calendar month until the time of investment by the investor.
If there is a significant intra-month market event and/or the securities of the Index experience a significant decrease, the Fund may not meet its investment objective or be able to rebalance its portfolio appropriately.
Monthly Index Correlation Risk There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation with its monthly leveraged investment objective relative to the Index. A number of factors may adversely affect the Fund’s correlation with the Index, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs related to the use of derivatives, investments in ETFs, directly or indirectly as a reference asset for derivative instruments, income items, valuation methodology, accounting standards, significant purchase and redemption activity by Fund shareholders and illiquidity in the markets for the securities or derivatives held by the Fund. Market disruptions, regulatory restrictions or extreme volatility will also adversely affect the Fund’s ability to adjust exposure to the required levels.
In order to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index, the Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio on a monthly basis to keep exposure consistent with its leveraged investment objective. Being materially over- or under-exposed to the Index may prevent the Fund from achieving a high degree of correlation with the Index. The target amount of portfolio exposure is impacted by the Index’s movement, thus it is unlikely the Fund will have perfect exposure (175%)
to the Index on the rebalance date and the likelihood of the Fund being materially over- or under-exposed is higher on days when the Index experiences volatility near the close of the trading day.
The Fund may not have investment exposure to all securities in the Index, or its weighting of investment exposure to such stocks or industries may be different from that of the Index. In addition, the Fund may invest in, or have exposure to, securities or financial instruments not included in the Index. The Fund may also take or refrain from taking certain positions in order to improve tax efficiency or comply with regulatory restriction, either of which may negatively impact the Fund’s correlation with the Index. The 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 the Index. Activities surrounding Index reconstitutions and other Index repositioning events may hinder the Fund’s ability to meet its calendar month leveraged investment objective.
Other Investment Companies (including ETFs) Risk
The Fund may invest in another investment company, including an ETF, to pursue its investment objective. When investing in another investment company, including an ETF, the Fund becomes a shareholder of that investment company and as a result, Fund shareholders indirectly bear the Fund’s proportionate share of the fees and expenses of the other investment company, in addition to the fees and expenses of the Fund’s own operations. The Fund must rely on the other investment company to achieve its investment objective. Accordingly, if the other investment company fails to achieve its investment objective, the Fund’s performance will likely be adversely affected. To the extent that the Fund obtains exposure to another investment company, including an ETF, by entering into a derivative contract whose reference asset is the investment company, the Fund will not be a shareholder of the other investment company but will still be exposed to the risk that it may fail to achieve its investment objective and adversely impact the Fund. In addition, to the extent that the Fund invests in an investment company that is an ETF, it will be exposed to all of the risks associated with the ETF structure. Shares of ETFs are listed and traded on national stock exchanges, their shares may trade at a discount or a premium to an ETF’s net asset value which may result in an ETF’s market price being more or less than the value of the index that the ETF tracks especially during periods of market volatility or disruption. There may also be additional trading costs due to an ETF’s bid-ask spread, which may adversely affect the Fund’s performance.
Market Risk The Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of issuers, general market liquidity, exchange trading suspensions and closures, and public health risks. The Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt the securities, swap agreements or futures contract markets and adversely affect global economies, markets
25
Direxion Funds Prospectus

and exchanges. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, conflicts and social unrest or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund, its investments, and the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.
Financials Sector Risk Performance of companies in the financials sector may be materially impacted by many factors, including but not limited to, government regulations, economic conditions, credit rating downgrades, changes in interest rates and decreased liquidity in credit markets. Profitability of these companies is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers also can negatively impact the sector. These companies are also subject to substantial government regulation and intervention, which may adversely impact the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge, the amount of capital they must maintain, and potentially, their size. Government regulation may change frequently and may have significant adverse consequences for financial companies, including effects that are not intended by such regulation. The impact of more stringent capital requirements, or recent or future regulation in various countries on any individual financial company or of the financials sector as a whole, cannot be predicted. The financials sector is also a target for cyber attacks and may experience technology malfunctions and disruptions, which have occurred more frequently in recent years.
Healthcare Sector Risk The profitability of companies in the healthcare sector may be affected by extensive, costly and uncertain government regulation, restrictions on government reimbursement for medical expenses, rising costs of medical products and services, pricing pressure, changes in the demand for medical products and services, an increased emphasis on outpatient services, limited product lines, industry innovation and/or consolidation, changes in technologies and other market developments. Many healthcare companies are heavily dependent on patent protection, which may be time consuming and costly. The expiration of patents may adversely affect the profitability of these companies. Many healthcare companies are subject to extensive litigation based on product liability and similar claims. Healthcare companies are subject to competitive forces that may make it difficult to raise prices and, in fact, may result in price discounting. Many new products in the healthcare sector require significant research and development and may be subject to regulatory approvals. The process of obtaining such approvals may be long and costly with no guarantee that any product will come to market.
Industrials Sector Risk Stock prices of issuers in the industrials sector are affected by supply and demand both for their specific product or service and for industrials sector products in general. Government regulation, world events including trade disputes, exchange rates and economic conditions, technological developments and liabilities for environmental damage and general civil liabilities will also affect the performance of investment in such issuers. Aerospace and defense companies, a component of the
industrials sector, can be significantly affected by government spending policies because companies involved in this industry rely to a significant extent on U.S. and other government demand for their products and services. Thus, the financial condition of, and investor interest in, aerospace and defense companies are heavily influenced by government defense spending policies which are typically under pressure from efforts to control government spending budgets. Transportation companies, another component of the industrials sector, are subject to cyclical performance and therefore investment in such companies may experience occasional sharp price movements which may result from changes in the economy, fuel prices, labor agreements and insurance costs. The industrials sector may also be adversely affected by changes or trends in commodity prices, which may be influenced by unpredictable factors. Issuers with high carbon intensity or high switching costs associated with the transition to low carbon alternatives may be more impacted by climate transition risks.
Micro-Capitalization Company Risk - Micro-capitalization companies often have limited product lines, narrower markets for their goods and/or services and more limited managerial and financial resources than larger, more established companies, including companies which are considered small- or mid-capitalization. As a result, their performance can be more volatile and they face greater risk of business failure, which could increase the volatility of the Fund’s portfolio.
Small- and/or Mid-Capitalization Company Risk
Small- and mid-capitalization companies often have narrower markets for their goods and/or services, less stable earnings, and more limited managerial and financial resources and often have limited product lines, services, markets, financial resources or are dependent on a small management group. Because these stocks are not well-known to the investing public, do not have significant institutional ownership and are followed by relatively few security analysts, there will normally be less publicly available information concerning these securities compared to what is available for the securities of larger companies. Adverse publicity and investor perceptions, whether or not based on fundamental analysis, can decrease the value and liquidity of securities held by the Fund resulting in more volatile performance. These companies may face greater risk of business failure, which could increase the volatility of the Fund’s portfolio.
Early Close/Trading Halt Risk An exchange or market may close or issue trading halts on specific securities of financial instruments or restrict the ability to buy or sell certain portfolio securities or financial instruments, which may result in the Fund being unable to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments. In such circumstances, the Fund may be unable to accurately price its investments, may incur significant tracking differences with its Index, may incur substantial losses and may limit or stop purchases of the Fund.
Equity Securities Risk Publicly issued equity securities, including common stocks, are subject to market risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Fluctuations in the value of equity securities in which the Fund invests, and/or has exposure to, will cause the net asset value of the Fund to fluctuate.
Direxion Funds Prospectus
26

Market Timing Activity Risk Rafferty expects a significant portion of the assets of the Fund to come from professional money managers and investors who use the Fund as part of “asset allocation” and “market timing” investment strategies. These strategies often call for frequent trading, which may lead to large shareholder transactions into and out of the Fund. These large movements of assets may lead to increased portfolio turnover, higher transaction costs and the possibility of increased net realized capital gains, including net short-term capital gains. Additionally, these large movement of assets may have a negative impact on the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund’s expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus.
Money Market Instrument Risk The Fund may use a variety of money market instruments for cash management purposes, including money market funds, depositary accounts and repurchase agreements. Money market funds may be subject to credit risk with respect to the debt instruments in which they invest. Depository accounts may be subject to credit risk with respect to the financial institution in which the depository account is held. Repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk related to the collateral securing the repurchase agreement. Money market instruments may lose money.
Non-Diversification Risk The Fund is non-diversified, which means it invests a high percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities. Additionally, the Fund may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in swap agreements with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may result in the Fund experiencing increased volatility and its net asset value and total return may fluctuate more or fall greater in times of weaker markets than a diversified fund.

Direxion Monthly Small Cap Bear 1.75X Fund
Important Information Regarding the Fund
The Direxion Monthly Small Cap Bear 1.75X Fund (formerly Direxion Monthly Small Cap Bear 2X Fund) (the “Fund”) seeks calendar month inverse leveraged (-1.75X) investment results and is very different from most other mutual funds. As a result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the Fund’s objective is to magnify the monthly inverse performance of the Russell 2000® Index (the "Index"). The return for investors that invest for periods longer or shorter than a full calendar month, which is defined as the period from the end of the last business day of one calendar month through the close of trading on the last business day of the following calendar month, should not be expected to be -175% of the performance of the Index for the period. The return of the Fund for a period longer than a full calendar month will be the result of each full calendar month’s compounded return over the period, which will very likely differ from -175% of the return of the Index for that period. Longer holding periods, higher volatility of the Index and leverage increase the impact of compounding on an investor’s returns. During periods of higher Index volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the Fund’s return as much as, or more than, the return of the Index.
The Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is designed to be utilized only by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking calendar month inverse leveraged (-1.75X) investment results, understand the risks associated with the use of leverage and shorting and are willing to monitor their portfolios frequently. The Fund is not intended to be used by, and is not appropriate for, investors who do not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. For periods longer than a calendar month, the Fund will lose money if the Index’s performance is flat, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if the Index’s performance decreases. An investor could lose the full principal value of his/her investment within a calendar month if the Index gains more than 58% in one month.
Investment Objective
The Fund seeks monthly investment results, before fees and expenses, of 175% of the inverse (or opposite) of the calendar month performance of the Index. The Fund does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective for a period of time different than a full calendar month.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.

"Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses" include fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund as a result of investments in other investment companies, including investments in money market funds. Because acquired fund fees and expenses are not borne directly by the Fund, they will not be reflected in the expense information in the Fund's financial statements and the information presented in the table will differ from that presented in the Fund's financial highlights included in the Fund's reports to shareholders.
(2)
Rafferty Asset Management, LLC (“Rafferty” or the “Adviser”), has entered into an Operating Expense Limitation Agreement with the Fund. Under the Operating Expense Limitation Agreement, Rafferty has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse the Fund for Other Expenses through September 1, 2024, to the extent that the Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses exceed 1.35% of the Fund’s average daily net assets (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).
Any expense waiver or reimbursement is subject to recoupment by the Adviser within the three years after the expense was waived/reimbursed only if overall Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses fall below the lesser of this percentage limitation and any percentage limitation in place at the time the expense was waived/reimbursed. This agreement may be terminated or revised at any time with the consent of the Board of Trustees.
Example - This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its portfolio. However, this portfolio turnover is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives.
29
Direxion Funds Prospectus

If such instruments were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.
Principal Investment Strategy
The Index measures the performance of approximately 2,000 small-capitalization companies in the Russell 3000® Index, based on a combination of their market capitalization and current index membership.
As of October 31, 2022, the Index consisted of 1,958 holdings, which had an average market capitalization of $2.8 billion, total market capitalizations ranging from $16.9 million to $13 billion and were concentrated in the healthcare, financials, and industrials sectors.
The components of the Index and the percentages represented by various sectors in the Index may change over time. The Fund will concentrate its investment in a particular industry or group of industries (i.e., hold 25% or more of its total assets in investments that provide inverse exposure to a particular industry or group of industries) to approximately the same extent as the Index is so concentrated.
The Fund, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets (plus borrowing for investment purposes) in swap agreements, futures contracts, short positions or other financial instruments that provide inverse (opposite) or short calendar month exposure to the Index or to ETFs that track the Index, which, in combination, provider returns consistent with the Fund’s investment objective.
The Fund is designed to lose money when the Index rises, which is a result that is the opposite from traditional index tracking funds. In order to achieve its monthly inverse investment objective, the Fund may invest in a combination of financial instruments, such as swaps that provide short exposure to the Index or to an ETF that tracks the same Index or a substantially similar index, short securities of the Index or short an ETF that tracks the same Index or a substantially similar index, or short futures contracts that provide short exposure to the Index. The Fund may gain inverse leveraged exposure utilizing financial instruments that provide short exposure to a representative sample of the securities in the Index that have aggregate characteristics similar to those of the Index. The Fund invests in derivatives as a substitute for directly shorting securities in order to gain inverse leveraged exposure to the Index or its components. On a day-to-day basis, the Fund is expected to hold money market funds, deposit accounts with institutions with high quality credit ratings, and/or short-term debt instruments that have terms-to-maturity of less than 397 days and exhibit high quality credit profiles, including U.S. government securities and repurchase agreements. The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times consistent with its stated inverse leveraged investment objective.
Because a significant portion of the assets of the Fund may come from investors using “asset allocation” and “market timing” investment strategies, the Fund may engage in frequent trading.
The Fund is “non-diversified,” meaning that a relatively high percentage of its assets may be invested in a limited number of issuers of securities. Additionally, the Fund’s investment
objective is not a fundamental policy and may be changed by the Fund’s Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.
Principal Investment Risks
An investment in the Fund entails risk. The Fund may not achieve its inverse leveraged investment objective and there is a risk that you could lose all of your money invested in the Fund. The Fund is not a complete investment program. In addition, the Fund presents risks not traditionally associated with most mutual funds. It is important that investors closely review all of the risks listed below and understand them before making an investment in the Fund. While the realization of certain of the risks described below may benefit the Fund due to its inverse investment objective, such occurrences may introduce more volatility to the Fund, which could have a significant negative impact on Fund performance.
Effects of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk - The Fund has a monthly leveraged investment objective and the Fund’s performance for periods greater than a full calendar month, which is defined as the period from the end of the last business day of one calendar month through the close of trading on the last business day of the following calendar month, will be the result of each month's returns compounded over the period, which is very likely to differ from -175% of the Index’s performance, before fees and expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but has a more significant impact on funds that are inverse leveraged and that rebalance monthly and becomes more pronounced as volatility and holding periods increase. The impact of compounding will impact each shareholder differently depending on the period of time an investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of the Index during the shareholder’s holding period of an investment in the Fund.
The chart below provides examples of how Index volatility and its return could affect the Fund’s performance. Fund performance for periods greater than one calendar month can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: a) Index volatility; b) Index performance; c) period of time; d) financing rates associated with inverse leveraged exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and f) dividends or interest paid with respect to securities of the Index. The chart below illustrates the impact of two principal factors – Index volatility and Index performance – on Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of Index volatility and Index performance over a one-year period. Performance shown in the chart assumes that: (i) no dividends were paid with respect to the securities included in the Index; (ii) there were no Fund expenses; and (iii) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain inverse leveraged exposure) of 0%. If Fund expenses and/or actual borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the estimated returns would be different than those shown. Particularly during periods of higher Index volatility, compounding will cause results for periods longer than a full calendar month to vary from -175% of the performance of the Index.
As shown in the chart below, the Fund would be expected to lose 14% if the Index provided no return over a one year period during which the Index experienced annualized volatility of 25%. At higher ranges of volatility, there is a
Direxion Funds Prospectus
30

chance of a significant loss of value in the Fund, even if the Index’s return is flat. For instance, if the Index’s annualized volatility is 100%, the Fund would be expected to lose 91% of its value, even if the cumulative Index return for the year was 0%. Areas shaded red (or dark gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than -175% of the performance of the Index and those shaded green (or light gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return more than -175% of the performance of the Index. The table below is not a representation of the Fund’s actual returns, which may be significantly better or worse than the returns shown below as a result of any of the factors discussed above or in “Monthly Inverse Index Correlation Risk” below. The volatility of exchange traded securities or instruments that reflect the value of the Index may differ from the volatility of the Index.

The Index’s annualized historical volatility rate for the five year period ended September 30, 2022 was 26.65%. The Index’s highest volatility rate for any twelve-month period (October 1 to September 30) was 41.99% and volatility for a shorter period of time may have been substantially higher. The Index’s annualized performance for the five-year period ended September 30, 2022 was 3.55%. Historical Index volatility and performance are not indications of what the Index volatility and performance will be in the future. The volatility of ETFs or instruments that reflect the value of the Index, such as swaps, may differ from the volatility of the Index.
For information regarding the effects of volatility and Index performance on the long-term performance of the Fund, see “Additional Information Regarding Investment Techniques and Policies” in the Fund’s statutory prospectus, and “Negative Implications of Leveraged Monthly Goals In Volatile Markets” in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.
Leverage Risk The Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its net assets by utilizing leverage and may lose more money in market conditions that are adverse to its investment objective than a fund that does not utilize leverage. An investment in the Fund is exposed to the risk that a rise in the monthly performance of the Index will be magnified. This means that an investment in the Fund will be reduced by an amount equal to 1.75% for every
1% monthly rise in the Index, not including the costs of financing leverage and other operating expenses, which would further reduce its value. The Fund could theoretically lose an amount greater than its net assets in the event of an Index rise of more than 58%. This would result in a total loss of a shareholder’s investment in one day even if the Index subsequently moves in the opposite direction and eliminates all or a portion of its earlier daily change. A total loss may occur in a single day even if the Index does not lose all of its value. Leverage will also have the effect of magnifying any differences in the Fund’s correlation with the Index and may increase the volatility of the Fund.
Due to the limited availability of necessary investments or financial instruments, the Fund could, among other things, as a defensive measure, limit or suspend purchases or redemptions of Fund shares until the Adviser determines that the requisite exposure to the Index is obtainable. The Fund may also change its investment objective by, for example, seeking to track an alternative index, or lowering its leverage multiple or the Fund could close.
Derivatives Risk Derivatives are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest rates or indexes. Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks, and may result in larger losses or smaller gains, than investing directly in the reference assets underlying those derivatives, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
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 correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions. The performance of a derivative may not track the performance of its reference asset for various reasons, including due to fees and other costs associated with it. Additionally, a swap on an ETF may not closely track the performance of the Index due to costs associated with trading ETFs, such as an ETF’s premium or discount and the difference between its market price and its net asset value. If the Index has a dramatic intraday increase or decrease that causes a material change in the Fund’s net assets, the terms of a swap agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close the swap agreement with the Fund. In that event, the Fund may not be able to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective. This may occur even if the Index reverses all or a portion of its intraday movement by the end of the day. Because derivatives often require only a limited initial investment, the use of derivatives may expose the Fund to losses in excess of the amount initially invested. As a result, the value of an investment in the Fund may change quickly and without warning. Additionally, any financing, borrowing or other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the effect of lowering the Fund’s return.

Direxion Funds Prospectus

Counterparty Risk A counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its contractual obligations or may fail to return holdings that are subject to the agreement with the counterparty. If the counterparty or its affiliate becomes insolvent, bankrupt or defaults on its payment obligations to the Fund, the value of an investment held by the Fund may decline. Additionally, if any collateral posted by the counterparty for the benefit of the Fund is insufficient or there are delays in the Fund’s ability to access such collateral, the Fund may not be able to achieve its inverse leveraged investment objective.
In addition, the Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of counterparties, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit risk. Further, there is a risk that no suitable counterparties will be willing to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the Fund and, as a result, the Fund may not be able to achieve its inverse leveraged investment objective or may decide to change its inverse leveraged investment objective.
Rebalancing Risk If for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a part of its portfolio, or if all or a portion of the portfolio is rebalanced incorrectly, the Fund’s investment exposure may not be consistent with its investment objective. In these instances, the Fund may have investment exposure to the Index that is significantly greater or significantly less than its stated multiple. The Fund may be more exposed to leverage risk than if it had been properly rebalanced and may not achieve its investment objective, leading to significantly greater losses or reduced gains.
Shorting Risk – A short position is a financial transaction in which an investor sells an asset that the investor does not own. In such a transaction, an investor’s short position appreciates when a reference asset falls in value. By contrast, the short position loses value when the reference asset’s value increases. Because historically most assets have risen in value over the long term, short positions are expected to depreciate in value. Accordingly, short positions may be riskier and more speculative than traditional investments. In addition, any income, dividends or payments by reference assets in which the Fund has a short position will impose expenses on the Fund that reduce returns.
The Fund may obtain short exposure through the use of derivatives, such as swap agreements or futures contracts. To the extent that the Fund obtains short exposure from derivatives, the Fund may be exposed to heightened volatility or limited liquidity related to the reference asset of the underlying short position, which will adversely impact the Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective or adversely impact its performance. If the Fund were to experience this volatility or decreased liquidity, the Fund may be required to obtain short exposure through alternative investment strategies that may be less desirable or more costly to implement. If the reference asset underlying the short position is thinly traded or has a limited market, there may be a lack of available securities or counterparties for the Fund to enter into a short position or obtain short exposure from a derivative.
Intra-Calendar Month Investment Risk The Fund seeks calendar month inverse leveraged investment results. The
exact exposure of an investment in the Fund intra-month will depend upon the movement of the Index from the end of the prior calendar month until the time of investment by the investor. If the Index loses value, the Fund’s net assets will rise by the same amount as the Fund’s exposure. Conversely, if the Index gains value, the Fund’s net assets will decline by the same amount as the Fund’s exposure. Thus, an investor who purchases shares on a day other than the last business day of a calendar month will likely obtain more, or less, than -175% leveraged investment exposure to the Index, depending upon the movement of the Index from the end of the prior calendar month until the time of investment by the investor.
If there is a significant intra-month market event and/or the securities of the Index experience a significant decrease, the Fund may not meet its investment objective or be able to rebalance its portfolio appropriately.
Monthly Inverse Index Correlation Risk There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of monthly inverse leveraged correlation to the Index. A number of factors may adversely affect the Fund’s inverse correlation with the Index, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs related to the use of derivatives, use of an ETF as a reference asset for derivative instruments, income items, valuation methodology, accounting standards, significant purchase and redemption activity by Fund shareholders and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities or derivatives held by the Fund.
In order to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index, the Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio on a monthly basis to keep exposure consistent with its inverse leveraged investment objective. Being materially over- or under-exposed to the Index may prevent the Fund from achieving a high degree of correlation with the Index. Market disruptions, regulatory restrictions or extreme volatility will also adversely affect the Fund’s ability to adjust exposure to the required levels. The target amount of portfolio exposure is impacted by the Index’s movement, thus it is unlikely the Fund will have perfect exposure (-175%) to the Index on the rebalance date and the likelihood of the Fund being materially over- or under-exposed is higher on days when the Index experiences volatility near the close of the trading day.
The Fund may not have inverse exposure to all securities in the Index, or its weighting of inverse exposure to such stocks or industries may be different from that of the Index. In addition, the Fund may invest in, or have exposure to, financial instruments not included in the Index. The Fund may also take, or refrain from taking, certain positions in order to improve tax efficiency or comply with regulatory restriction, either of which may negatively impact the Fund’s correlation with the Index. The 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 the Index. Activities surrounding Index reconstitutions and other Index repositioning events may hinder the Fund’s ability to meet its calendar month inverse leveraged investment objective.
Market Risk The Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, general market fluctuations
Direxion Funds Prospectus
32

and the risks inherent in investment in securities markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of issuers, general market liquidity, exchange trading suspensions and closures, and public health risks. The Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt the securities, swap agreements or futures contract markets and adversely affect global economies, markets and exchanges. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, conflicts and social unrest or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund, its investments, and the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.
Financials Sector Risk Performance of companies in the financials sector may be materially impacted by many factors, including but not limited to, government regulations, economic conditions, credit rating downgrades, changes in interest rates and decreased liquidity in credit markets. Profitability of these companies is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers also can negatively impact the sector. These companies are also subject to substantial government regulation and intervention, which may adversely impact the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge, the amount of capital they must maintain, and potentially, their size. Government regulation may change frequently and may have significant adverse consequences for financial companies, including effects that are not intended by such regulation. The impact of more stringent capital requirements, or recent or future regulation in various countries on any individual financial company or of the financials sector as a whole, cannot be predicted. The financials sector is also a target for cyber attacks and may experience technology malfunctions and disruptions, which have occurred more frequently in recent years.
Healthcare Sector Risk The profitability of companies in the healthcare sector may be affected by extensive, costly and uncertain government regulation, restrictions on government reimbursement for medical expenses, rising costs of medical products and services, pricing pressure, changes in the demand for medical products and services, an increased emphasis on outpatient services, limited product lines, industry innovation and/or consolidation, changes in technologies and other market developments. Many healthcare companies are heavily dependent on patent protection, which may be time consuming and costly. The expiration of patents may adversely affect the profitability of these companies. Many healthcare companies are subject to extensive litigation based on product liability and similar claims. Healthcare companies are subject to competitive forces that may make it difficult to raise prices and, in fact, may result in price discounting. Many new products in the healthcare sector require significant research and development and may be subject to regulatory approvals.
The process of obtaining such approvals may be long and costly with no guarantee that any product will come to market.
Industrials Sector Risk Stock prices of issuers in the industrials sector are affected by supply and demand both for their specific product or service and for industrials sector products in general. Government regulation, world events including trade disputes, exchange rates and economic conditions, technological developments and liabilities for environmental damage and general civil liabilities will also affect the performance of investment in such issuers. Aerospace and defense companies, a component of the industrials sector, can be significantly affected by government spending policies because companies involved in this industry rely to a significant extent on U.S. and other government demand for their products and services. Thus, the financial condition of, and investor interest in, aerospace and defense companies are heavily influenced by government defense spending policies which are typically under pressure from efforts to control government spending budgets. Transportation companies, another component of the industrials sector, are subject to cyclical performance and therefore investment in such companies may experience occasional sharp price movements which may result from changes in the economy, fuel prices, labor agreements and insurance costs. The industrials sector may also be adversely affected by changes or trends in commodity prices, which may be influenced by unpredictable factors. Issuers with high carbon intensity or high switching costs associated with the transition to low carbon alternatives may be more impacted by climate transition risks.
Micro-Capitalization Company Risk - Micro-capitalization companies often have limited product lines, narrower markets for their goods and/or services and more limited managerial and financial resources than larger, more established companies, including companies which are considered small- or mid-capitalization. As a result, their performance can be more volatile and they face greater risk of business failure, which could increase the volatility of the Fund’s portfolio.
Small- and/or Mid-Capitalization Company Risk
Small- and mid-capitalization companies often have narrower markets for their goods and/or services, less stable earnings, and more limited managerial and financial resources and often have limited product lines, services, markets, financial resources or are dependent on a small management group. Because these stocks are not well-known to the investing public, do not have significant institutional ownership and are followed by relatively few security analysts, there will normally be less publicly available information concerning these securities compared to what is available for the securities of larger companies. Adverse publicity and investor perceptions, whether or not based on fundamental analysis, can decrease the value and liquidity of securities held by the Fund resulting in more volatile performance. These companies may face greater risk of business failure, which could increase the volatility of the Fund’s portfolio.
Early Close/Trading Halt Risk An exchange or market may close or issue trading halts on specific securities of financial instruments or restrict the ability to buy or sell certain portfolio
33
Direxion Funds Prospectus

securities or financial instruments, which may result in the Fund being unable to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments. In such circumstances, the Fund may be unable to accurately price its investments, may incur significant tracking differences with its Index, may incur substantial losses and may limit or stop purchases of the Fund.
Equity Securities Risk Publicly issued equity securities, including common stocks, are subject to market risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Fluctuations in the value of equity securities in which the Fund invests, and/or has exposure to, will cause the net asset value of the Fund to fluctuate.
Market Timing Activity Risk Rafferty expects a significant portion of the assets of the Fund to come from professional money managers and investors who use the Fund as part of “asset allocation” and “market timing” investment strategies. These strategies often call for frequent trading, which may lead to large shareholder transactions into and out of the Fund. These large movements of assets may lead to increased portfolio turnover, higher transaction costs and the possibility of increased net realized capital gains, including net short-term capital gains. Additionally, these large movement of assets may have a negative impact on the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund’s expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus.
Money Market Instrument Risk The Fund may use a variety of money market instruments for cash management purposes, including money market funds, depositary accounts and repurchase agreements. Money market funds may be subject to credit risk with respect to the debt instruments in which they invest. Depository accounts may be subject to credit risk with respect to the financial institution in which the depository account is held. Repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk related to the collateral securing the repurchase agreement. Money market instruments may lose money.
Non-Diversification Risk The Fund is non-diversified, which means it invests a high percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities. Additionally, the Fund may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in swap agreements with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may result in the Fund experiencing increased volatility and its net asset value and total return may fluctuate more or fall greater in times of weaker markets than a diversified fund.

After-tax returns are calculated using the historically highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown, and after-tax returns are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.In addition, the "Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares" is higher because the calculation recognizes a capital loss upon the redemption of Fund shares and assumes the investor received the benefit of a tax deduction.
Annual returns are required to be shown and should not be interpreted as suggesting that the Fund should or should not be held for long periods of time.

Direxion Monthly 7-10 Year Treasury Bull 1.75X Fund
Important Information Regarding the Fund
The Direxion Monthly 7-10 Year Treasury Bull 1.75X Fund (formerly Direxion Monthly 7-10 Year Treasury Bull 2X Fund) (the “Fund”) seeks calendar month leveraged (1.75X) investment results and is very different from most other mutual funds. As a result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the Fund’s objective is to magnify the monthly performance of the ICE U.S. Treasury 7-10 Year Bond Index (the "Index"). The return for investors that invest for periods longer or shorter than a full calendar month, which is defined as the period from the end of the last business day of one calendar month through the close of trading on the last business day of the following calendar month, should not be expected to be 175% of the performance of the Index for the period. The return of the Fund for a period longer than a full calendar month will be the result of each full calendar month’s compounded return over the period, which will very likely differ from 175% of the return of the Index for that period. Longer holding periods, higher volatility of the Index and leverage increase the impact of compounding on an investor’s returns. During periods of higher Index volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the Fund’s return as much as, or more than, the return of the Index.
The Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is designed to be utilized only by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking calendar month leveraged (1.75X) investment results, understand the risks associated with the use of leverage and are willing to monitor their portfolios frequently. The Fund is not intended to be used by, and is not appropriate for, investors who do not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. For periods longer than a calendar month, the Fund will lose money if the Index’s performance is flat, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if the Index’s performance increases. An investor could lose the full principal value of his/her investment within a calendar month if the Index loses more than 58% in one month.
Investment Objective
The Fund seeks monthly investment results, before fees and expenses, of 175% of the calendar month performance of the Index. The Fund does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective for a period of time different than a full calendar month.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.

"Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses" include fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund as a result of investments in other investment companies, including investments in money market funds. Because acquired fund fees and expenses are not borne directly by the Fund, they will not be reflected in the expense information in the Fund's financial statements and the information presented in the table will differ from that presented in the Fund's financial highlights included in the Fund's reports to shareholders.
(2)
Rafferty Asset Management, LLC (“Rafferty” or the “Adviser”), has entered into an Operating Expense Limitation Agreement with the Fund. Under the Operating Expense Limitation Agreement, Rafferty has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse the Fund for Other Expenses through September 1, 2024, to the extent that the Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses exceed 1.35% of the Fund’s average daily net assets (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).
Any expense waiver or reimbursement is subject to recoupment by the Adviser within the three years after the expense was waived/reimbursed only if overall Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses fall below the lesser of this percentage limitation and any percentage limitation in place at the time the expense was waived/reimbursed. This agreement may be terminated or revised at any time with the consent of the Board of Trustees.
Example - This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 144% of the average value of its portfolio. However, this portfolio turnover is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives.
Direxion Funds Prospectus
36

If such instruments were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.
Principal Investment Strategy
The Index is a market value weighted index that includes publicly issued U.S. Treasury securities that have a remaining maturity of greater than or equal to seven years and less than ten years. Eligible securities must be fixed rate, denominated in U.S. dollars, and have $300 million or more of outstanding face value, excluding amounts held by the Federal Reserve. Securities excluded from the Index are inflation-linked securities, Treasury bills, cash management bills, any government agency debt issued with or without a government guarantee and zero-coupon issues that have been stripped from coupon-paying bonds. The Index is not adjusted for securities that may become eligible or ineligible for inclusion in the Index intra-month. The Index is reconstituted and rebalanced on the last business day of each month.
The Index was comprised of 14 constituents as of October 31, 2022.
The Fund, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowing for investment purposes) in securities of the Index, exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") that track the Index and other financial instruments that provide monthly leveraged exposure to the Index or to ETFs that track the Index, which, in combination, provide returns consistent with the Fund’s investment objective. The financial instruments in which the Fund most commonly invests are swap contracts which are intended to produce economically leveraged investment results.
The Fund may invest in the securities of the Index, an ETF that tracks the Index, or utilize derivatives such as swaps on the Index, swaps on an ETF that tracks the Index or a substantially similar index as the Fund, or futures contracts to obtain leveraged exposure to the securities or a representative sample of the securities in the Index that have aggregate characteristics similar to those of the Index. On a day-to-day basis, the Fund is expected to hold money market funds, deposit accounts with institutions with high quality credit ratings, and/or short-term debt instruments that have terms-to-maturity of less than 397 days and exhibit high quality credit profiles, including U.S. government securities and repurchase agreements. The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times consistent with its stated investment objective.
Because a significant portion of the assets of the Fund may come from investors using “asset allocation” and “market timing” investment strategies, the Fund may engage in frequent trading.
The Fund is “non-diversified,” meaning that a relatively high percentage of its assets may be invested in a limited number of issuers of securities. Additionally, the Fund’s investment objective is not a fundamental policy and may be changed by the Fund’s Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.
Principal Investment Risks
An investment in the Fund entails risk. The Fund may not achieve its leveraged investment objective and there is a
risk that you could lose all of your money invested in the Fund. The Fund is not a complete investment program. In addition, the Fund presents risks not traditionally associated with most mutual funds. It is important that investors closely review all of the risks listed below and understand them before making an investment in the Fund.
Effects of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk - The Fund has a monthly leveraged investment objective and the Fund’s performance for periods greater than a full calendar month, which is defined as the period from the end of the last business day of one calendar month through the close of trading on the last business day of the following calendar month, will be the result of each month's returns compounded over the period, which is very likely to differ from 175% of the Index’s performance, before fees and expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but has a more significant impact on funds that are leveraged and that rebalance monthly and becomes more pronounced as volatility and holding periods increase. The impact of compounding will impact each shareholder differently depending on the period of time an investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of the Index during the shareholder’s holding period of an investment in the Fund.
The chart below provides examples of how Index volatility and its return could affect the Fund’s performance. Fund performance for periods greater than one calendar month can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: a) Index volatility; b) Index performance; c) period of time; d) financing rates associated with leveraged exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and f) dividends or interest paid with respect to securities of the Index. The chart below illustrates the impact of two principal factors – Index volatility and Index performance – on Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of Index volatility and Index performance over a one-year period. Performance shown in the chart assumes that: (i) no dividends were paid with respect to the securities included in the Index; (ii) there were no Fund expenses; and (iii) borrowing/lending rates of 0%. If Fund expenses and/or actual borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the estimated returns would be different than those shown. Particularly during periods of higher Index volatility, compounding will cause results for periods longer than a full calendar month to vary from 175% of the performance of the Index.
As shown in the chart below, the Fund would be expected to lose 4% if the Index provided no return over a one year period during which the Index experienced annualized volatility of 25%. At higher ranges of volatility, there is a chance of a significant loss of value in the Fund, even if the Index’s return is flat. For instance, if the Index’s annualized volatility is 100%, the Fund would be expected to lose 48.1% of its value, even if the cumulative Index return for the year was 0%. Areas shaded red (or dark gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than 175% of the performance of the Index and those shaded green (or light gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return more than 175% of the performance of the Index. The table below is not a representation of the Fund’s actual returns, which may be significantly better or worse than the returns shown below

The Index’s annualized historical volatility rate for the five year period ended September 30, 2022 was 6.34%. The Index’s highest volatility rate for any twelve-month period (October 1 to September 30) was 9.17% and volatility for a shorter period of time may have been substantially higher. The Index’s annualized performance for the five-year period ended September 30, 2022 was -0.37%. Historical Index volatility and performance are not indications of what the Index volatility and performance will be in the future. The volatility of ETFs or instruments that reflect the value of the Index, such as swaps, may differ from the volatility of the Index.
For information regarding the effects of volatility and Index performance on the long-term performance of the Fund, see “Additional Information Regarding Investment Techniques and Policies” in the Fund’s statutory prospectus, and “Negative Implications of Leveraged Monthly Goals In Volatile Markets” in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.
Leverage Risk The Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its net assets by utilizing leverage and may lose more money in market conditions that are adverse to its investment objective than a fund that does not utilize leverage. An investment in the Fund is exposed to the risk that a decline in the monthly performance of the Index will be magnified. This means that an investment in the Fund will be reduced by an amount equal to 1.75% for every 1% monthly decline in the Index, not including the costs of financing leverage and other operating expenses, which would further reduce its value. The Fund could theoretically lose an amount greater than its net assets in the event of an Index decline of more than 58%. This would result in a total loss of a shareholder’s investment in one day even if the Index subsequently moves in the opposite direction and eliminates all or a portion of its earlier daily change. A total loss may occur in a single day even if the Index does not lose all of its value. Leverage will also have the effect of magnifying any differences in the Fund’s correlation with the Index and may increase the volatility of the Fund.
Due to the limited availability of necessary investments or financial instruments, the Fund could, among other things, as a defensive measure, limit or suspend purchases or redemptions of Fund shares until the Adviser determines that the requisite exposure to the Index is obtainable. The Fund may also change its investment objective by, for example, seeking to track an alternative index, or lowering its leverage multiple or the Fund could close.
Derivatives Risk Derivatives are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest rates or indexes. Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks, and may result in larger losses or smaller gains, than investing directly in the reference assets underlying those derivatives, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
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 correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions. The performance of a derivative may not track the performance of its reference asset for various reasons, including due to fees and other costs associated with it. Additionally, a swap on an ETF may not closely track the performance of the Index due to costs associated with trading ETFs, such as an ETF’s premium or discount and the difference between its market price and its net asset value. If the Index has a dramatic intraday increase or decrease that causes a material change in the Fund’s net assets, the terms of a swap agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close the swap agreement with the Fund. In that event, the Fund may not be able to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective. This may occur even if the Index reverses all or a portion of its intraday movement by the end of the day. Because derivatives often require only a limited initial investment, the use of derivatives may expose the Fund to losses in excess of the amount initially invested. As a result, the value of an investment in the Fund may change quickly and without warning. Additionally, any financing, borrowing or other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the effect of lowering the Fund’s return.
Counterparty Risk A counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its contractual obligations or may fail to return holdings that are subject to the agreement with the counterparty. If the counterparty or its affiliate becomes insolvent, bankrupt or defaults on its payment obligations to the Fund, the value of an investment held by the Fund may decline. Additionally, if any collateral posted by the counterparty for the benefit of the Fund is insufficient or there are delays in the Fund’s ability to access such collateral, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment objective.
Direxion Funds Prospectus
38

In addition, the Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of counterparties, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit risk. Further, there is a risk that no suitable counterparties will be willing to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the Fund and, as a result, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment objective or may decide to change its leveraged investment objective.
Rebalancing Risk If for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a part of its portfolio, or if all or a portion of the portfolio is rebalanced incorrectly, the Fund’s investment exposure may not be consistent with its investment objective. In these instances, the Fund may have investment exposure to the Index that is significantly greater or significantly less than its stated multiple. The Fund may be more exposed to leverage risk than if it had been properly rebalanced and may not achieve its investment objective, leading to significantly greater losses or reduced gains.
Intra-Calendar Month Investment Risk The Fund seeks calendar month leveraged investment results. The exact exposure of an investment in the Fund intra-month will depend upon the movement of the Index from the end of the prior calendar month until the time of investment by the investor. If the Index gains value, the Fund’s net assets will rise by the same amount as the Fund’s exposure. Conversely, if the Index loses value, the Fund’s net assets will decline by the same amount as the Fund’s exposure. Thus, an investor who purchases shares on a day other than the last business day of a calendar month will likely obtain more, or less, than 175% leveraged investment exposure to the Index, depending upon the movement of the Index from the end of the prior calendar month until the time of investment by the investor.
If there is a significant intra-month market event and/or the securities of the Index experience a significant decrease, the Fund may not meet its investment objective or be able to rebalance its portfolio appropriately.
Monthly Index Correlation Risk There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation with its monthly leveraged investment objective relative to the Index. A number of factors may adversely affect the Fund’s correlation with the Index, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs related to the use of derivatives, investments in ETFs, directly or indirectly as a reference asset for derivative instruments, income items, valuation methodology, accounting standards, significant purchase and redemption activity by Fund shareholders and illiquidity in the markets for the securities or derivatives held by the Fund. Market disruptions, regulatory restrictions or extreme volatility will also adversely affect the Fund’s ability to adjust exposure to the required levels.
Due to the Index including instruments that trade on a different market than the Fund, the Fund's return may vary from a multiple of the performance of the Index because different markets may close before the New York Stock Exchange opens or may not be open for business on the same calendar days as the Fund. Additionally, due to differences in trading hours, and because the Index may be calculated using prices obtained at times other than the
Fund's net asset value calculation time, the Fund's performance may not correlate the Index.
In order to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index, the Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio on a monthly basis to keep exposure consistent with its leveraged investment objective. Being materially over- or under-exposed to the Index may prevent the Fund from achieving a high degree of correlation with the Index. The target amount of portfolio exposure is impacted by the Index’s movement, thus it is unlikely the Fund will have perfect exposure (175%) to the Index on the rebalance date and the likelihood of the Fund being materially over- or under-exposed is higher on days when the Index experiences volatility near the close of the trading day.
The Fund may not have investment exposure to all securities in the Index, or its weighting of investment exposure to such stocks or industries may be different from that of the Index. In addition, the Fund may invest in, or have exposure to, securities or financial instruments not included in the Index. The Fund may also take or refrain from taking certain positions in order to improve tax efficiency or comply with regulatory restriction, either of which may negatively impact the Fund’s correlation with the Index. The 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 the Index. Activities surrounding Index reconstitutions and other Index repositioning events may hinder the Fund’s ability to meet its calendar month leveraged investment objective.
Other Investment Companies (including ETFs) Risk
The Fund may invest in another investment company, including an ETF, to pursue its investment objective. When investing in another investment company, including an ETF, the Fund becomes a shareholder of that investment company and as a result, Fund shareholders indirectly bear the Fund’s proportionate share of the fees and expenses of the other investment company, in addition to the fees and expenses of the Fund’s own operations. The Fund must rely on the other investment company to achieve its investment objective. Accordingly, if the other investment company fails to achieve its investment objective, the Fund’s performance will likely be adversely affected. To the extent that the Fund obtains exposure to another investment company, including an ETF, by entering into a derivative contract whose reference asset is the investment company, the Fund will not be a shareholder of the other investment company but will still be exposed to the risk that it may fail to achieve its investment objective and adversely impact the Fund. In addition, to the extent that the Fund invests in an investment company that is an ETF, it will be exposed to all of the risks associated with the ETF structure. Shares of ETFs are listed and traded on national stock exchanges, their shares may trade at a discount or a premium to an ETF’s net asset value which may result in an ETF’s market price being more or less than the value of the index that the ETF tracks especially during periods of market volatility or disruption. There may also be additional trading costs due to an ETF’s bid-ask spread, which may adversely affect the Fund’s performance.

Direxion Funds Prospectus

Market Risk The Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of issuers, general market liquidity, exchange trading suspensions and closures, and public health risks. The Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt the securities, swap agreements or futures contract markets and adversely affect global economies, markets and exchanges. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, conflicts and social unrest or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund, its investments, and the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.
Liquidity Risk Holdings of the Fund, including derivatives, may be difficult to buy or sell or be illiquid, particularly during times of market turmoil. Illiquid securities may be difficult to value, especially in changing or volatile markets. If the Fund is forced to buy or sell an illiquid security or derivative instrument at an unfavorable time or price, the Fund may be adversely impacted. Certain market conditions or restrictions, such as market rules related to short sales, may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving a high correlation with the index. There is no assurance that a security or derivative instrument that is deemed liquid when purchased will continue to be liquid. Market illiquidity may cause losses for the Fund. To the extent that a Fund's Index decreases, the Fund may be one of many market participants that are attempting to transact in the securities of the Index.
In certain cases, the market for certain securities in the Index and/or Fund may lack sufficient liquidity for all market participants' trades. Therefore, the Fund may have difficulty transacting in it and/or in correlated investments, such as swap contracts. Further, the Fund's transactions could exacerbate illiquidity and volatility in the price of the securities and correlated derivative instruments.
U.S. Government Securities Risk A security backed by the U.S. Treasury or the full faith and credit of the United States is guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity. The market prices for such securities are not guaranteed and will fluctuate. Furthermore, not all securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities are backed by the U.S. Treasury or the full faith and credit of the United States. In addition, because many types of U.S. government securities trade actively outside the United States, their prices may rise and fall as changes in global economic conditions affect the demand for these securities. In addition, U.S. Treasury obligations may differ from other securities in their interest rates, maturities, times of issuance and other characteristics. Changes in the financial condition or credit rating of the U.S government may cause the value of U.S. Treasury obligations to decline.
Credit Risk The Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a debt security goes bankrupt or is unable or unwilling to make interest payments and/or repay principal. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength or in an issuer’s or debt security’s credit rating also may affect a security’s value and thus have an impact on Fund net asset value and performance. Generally, the longer the maturity and the lower the credit quality of a security, the more sensitive it is to credit risk.
Debt Instrument Risk The value of debt instruments may increase or decrease as a result of the following: market fluctuations; changes in interest rates; actual or perceived inability of issuers, guarantors, or liquidity providers to make scheduled principal or interest payments; or illiquidity in debt securities markets. Debt instruments are also impacted by political, regulatory, market and economic developments that impact the market in general and specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the fixed income market. In general, rising interest rates lead to a decline in the value of debt securities and debt securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes usually making their prices more volatile than those of securities with shorter durations. To the extent that interest rates rise, certain underlying obligations may be paid off substantially slower than originally anticipated and the value of those securities may fall. Declining interest rates may lead to prepayment of obligations and cause reduced rates of return due to reinvestment of interest and principal payments at lower interest rates.
Interest Rate Risk When interest rates increase, fixed income securities or instruments held by the Fund will generally decline in value. A rising interest rate environment, as well as inflation, may adversely impact the liquidity of fixed-income securities and lead to increased volatility of fixed-income markets. Long-term fixed income securities or instruments will normally have more price volatility because of this risk than short-term fixed income securities or instruments. The risks associated with changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and the Fund’s investments. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of fixed income securities and instruments held by the Fund.
Early Close/Trading Halt Risk An exchange or market may close or issue trading halts on specific securities of financial instruments or restrict the ability to buy or sell certain portfolio securities or financial instruments, which may result in the Fund being unable to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments. In such circumstances, the Fund may be unable to accurately price its investments, may incur significant tracking differences with its Index, may incur substantial losses and may limit or stop purchases of the Fund.
High Portfolio Turnover Risk - Monthly rebalancing of the Fund’s holdings pursuant to its monthly investment objective causes a much greater number of portfolio transactions when compared to most funds. In addition, there is the possibility of significantly increased short-term capital gains (which will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income when distributed to them). The Fund calculates portfolio turnover without including the short-term cash instruments or
Direxion Funds Prospectus
40

derivative transactions that comprise the majority of the Fund’s trading. As such, if the Fund’s extensive use of derivative instruments were reflected, the calculated portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.
Market Timing Activity Risk Rafferty expects a significant portion of the assets of the Fund to come from professional money managers and investors who use the Fund as part of “asset allocation” and “market timing” investment strategies. These strategies often call for frequent trading, which may lead to large shareholder transactions into and out of the Fund. These large movements of assets may lead to increased portfolio turnover, higher transaction costs and the possibility of increased net realized capital gains, including net short-term capital gains. Additionally, these large movement of assets may have a negative impact on the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund’s expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus.
Money Market Instrument Risk The Fund may use a variety of money market instruments for cash management purposes, including money market funds, depositary accounts and repurchase agreements. Money market funds may be subject to credit risk with respect to the debt instruments in which they invest. Depository accounts may be subject to credit risk with respect to the financial institution in which the depository account is held. Repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk related to the collateral securing the repurchase agreement. Money market instruments may lose money.
Non-Diversification Risk The Fund is non-diversified, which means it invests a high percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities. Additionally, the Fund may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in swap agreements with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may result in the Fund experiencing increased volatility and its net asset value and total return may fluctuate more or fall greater in times of weaker markets than a diversified fund.
Fund Performance
The following performance information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by demonstrating how its returns have varied from calendar year to calendar year. The bar chart shows changes in the Fund’s performance from calendar year to calendar year. The table shows how the Fund’s average annual returns for the one-year, five-year and ten-year periods compare with those of one or more broad-based market indexes for the same periods. The Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance is available on the Fund’s website at www.direxion.com/mutual-funds?producttab=performance or by calling the Fund toll-free at (800) 851-0511.
The performance noted below, and prior to August 1, 2022, reflects the Fund’s previous monthly leveraged investment objective, before fees and expenses, of 200% of the Index.
The performance shown prior to April 14, 2013 reflects the Fund’s previous investment objective where it sought monthly investment results, before fees and expenses, of 175% of the performance of the NYSE Current 10-Year U.S. Treasury Index. If the Fund’s investment objective had remained the same, the calendar year performance of the Fund would have varied from that shown.
In addition, performance shown from April 15, 2013 to May 2, 2016 reflects the Fund’s previous monthly leveraged investment objective, before fees and expenses, of 200% of the NYSE 7-10 Year Treasury Bond Index. After May 2, 2016, the Fund began to seek a monthly leveraged investment objective, before fees and expenses, of 200% of the ICE U.S. Treasury 7-10 Year Bond Index. If the Fund had continued to seek its previous investment objective, the calendar year performance of the Fund would have varied from that shown.
Total Return for the Calendar Years Ended December 31
During the period of time shown in the bar chart, the Fund’s highest calendar quarter return was 20.33% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and its lowest calendar quarter return was -11.99% for the quarter ended December 31, 2016. The year-to-date return as of September 30, 2022 was -29.63%.

Direxion Monthly 7-10 Year Treasury Bear 1.75X Fund
Important Information Regarding the Fund
The Direxion Monthly 7-10 Year Treasury Bear 1.75X Fund (formerly Direxion Monthly 7-10 Year Treasury Bear 2X Fund) (the “Fund”) seeks calendar month inverse leveraged (-1.75X) investment results and is very different from most other mutual funds. As a result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the Fund’s objective is to magnify the monthly inverse performance of the ICE U.S. Treasury 7-10 Year Bond Index (the "Index"). The return for investors that invest for periods longer or shorter than a full calendar month, which is defined as the period from the end of the last business day of one calendar month through the close of trading on the last business day of the following calendar month, should not be expected to be -175% of the performance of the Index for the period. The return of the Fund for a period longer than a full calendar month will be the result of each full calendar month’s compounded return over the period, which will very likely differ from -175% of the return of the Index for that period. Longer holding periods, higher volatility of the Index and leverage increase the impact of compounding on an investor’s returns. During periods of higher Index volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the Fund’s return as much as, or more than, the return of the Index.
The Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is designed to be utilized only by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking calendar month inverse leveraged (-1.75X) investment results, understand the risks associated with the use of leverage and shorting and are willing to monitor their portfolios frequently. The Fund is not intended to be used by, and is not appropriate for, investors who do not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. For periods longer than a calendar month, the Fund will lose money if the Index’s performance is flat, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if the Index’s performance decreases. An investor could lose the full principal value of his/her investment within a calendar month if the Index gains more than 58% in one month.
Investment Objective
The Fund seeks monthly investment results, before fees and expenses, of 175% of the inverse (or opposite) of the calendar month performance of the Index. The Fund does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective for a period of time different than a full calendar month.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund

Rafferty Asset Management, LLC (“Rafferty” or the “Adviser”), has entered into an Operating Expense Limitation Agreement with the Fund. Under the Operating Expense Limitation Agreement, Rafferty has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse the Fund for Other Expenses through September 1, 2024, to the extent that the Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses exceed 1.35% of the Fund’s average daily net assets (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).
Any expense waiver or reimbursement is subject to recoupment by the Adviser within the three years after the expense was waived/reimbursed only if overall Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses fall below the lesser of this percentage limitation and any percentage limitation in place at the time the expense was waived/reimbursed. This agreement may be terminated or revised at any time with the consent of the Board of Trustees.
Example - This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its portfolio. However, this portfolio turnover is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives.

If such instruments were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.
Principal Investment Strategy
The Index is a market value weighted index that includes publicly issued U.S. Treasury securities that have a remaining maturity of greater than or equal to seven years and less than ten years. Eligible securities must be fixed rate, denominated in U.S. dollars, and have $300 million or more of outstanding face value, excluding amounts held by the Federal Reserve. Securities excluded from the Index are inflation-linked securities, Treasury bills, cash management bills, any government agency debt issued with or without a government guarantee and zero-coupon issues that have been stripped from coupon-paying bonds. The Index is not adjusted for securities that may become eligible or ineligible for inclusion in the Index intra-month. The Index is reconstituted and rebalanced on the last business day of each month.
The Index was comprised of 14 constituents as of October 31, 2022.
The Fund, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets (plus borrowing for investment purposes) in swap agreements, futures contracts, short positions or other financial instruments that provide inverse (opposite) or short calendar month exposure to the Index or to ETFs that track the Index, which, in combination, provider returns consistent with the Fund’s investment objective.
The Fund is designed to lose money when the Index rises, which is a result that is the opposite from traditional index tracking funds. In order to achieve its monthly inverse investment objective, the Fund may invest in a combination of financial instruments, such as swaps that provide short exposure to the Index or to an ETF that tracks the same Index or a substantially similar index, short securities of the Index or short an ETF that tracks the same Index or a substantially similar index, or short futures contracts that provide short exposure to the Index. The Fund may gain inverse leveraged exposure utilizing financial instruments that provide short exposure to a representative sample of the securities in the Index that have aggregate characteristics similar to those of the Index. The Fund invests in derivatives as a substitute for directly shorting securities in order to gain inverse leveraged exposure to the Index or its components. On a day-to-day basis, the Fund is expected to hold money market funds, deposit accounts with institutions with high quality credit ratings, and/or short-term debt instruments that have terms-to-maturity of less than 397 days and exhibit high quality credit profiles, including U.S. government securities and repurchase agreements. The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times consistent with its stated inverse leveraged investment objective.
Because a significant portion of the assets of the Fund may come from investors using “asset allocation” and “market timing” investment strategies, the Fund may engage in frequent trading.
The Fund is “non-diversified,” meaning that a relatively high percentage of its assets may be invested in a limited number of issuers of securities. Additionally, the Fund’s investment
objective is not a fundamental policy and may be changed by the Fund’s Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.
Principal Investment Risks
An investment in the Fund entails risk. The Fund may not achieve its inverse leveraged investment objective and there is a risk that you could lose all of your money invested in the Fund. The Fund is not a complete investment program. In addition, the Fund presents risks not traditionally associated with most mutual funds. It is important that investors closely review all of the risks listed below and understand them before making an investment in the Fund. While the realization of certain of the risks described below may benefit the Fund due to its inverse investment objective, such occurrences may introduce more volatility to the Fund, which could have a significant negative impact on Fund performance.
Effects of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk - The Fund has a monthly leveraged investment objective and the Fund’s performance for periods greater than a full calendar month, which is defined as the period from the end of the last business day of one calendar month through the close of trading on the last business day of the following calendar month, will be the result of each month's returns compounded over the period, which is very likely to differ from -175% of the Index’s performance, before fees and expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but has a more significant impact on funds that are inverse leveraged and that rebalance monthly and becomes more pronounced as volatility and holding periods increase. The impact of compounding will impact each shareholder differently depending on the period of time an investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of the Index during the shareholder’s holding period of an investment in the Fund.
The chart below provides examples of how Index volatility and its return could affect the Fund’s performance. Fund performance for periods greater than one calendar month can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: a) Index volatility; b) Index performance; c) period of time; d) financing rates associated with inverse leveraged exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and f) dividends or interest paid with respect to securities of the Index. The chart below illustrates the impact of two principal factors – Index volatility and Index performance – on Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of Index volatility and Index performance over a one-year period. Performance shown in the chart assumes that: (i) no dividends were paid with respect to the securities included in the Index; (ii) there were no Fund expenses; and (iii) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain inverse leveraged exposure) of 0%. If Fund expenses and/or actual borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the estimated returns would be different than those shown. Particularly during periods of higher Index volatility, compounding will cause results for periods longer than a full calendar month to vary from -175% of the performance of the Index.
As shown in the chart below, the Fund would be expected to lose 14% if the Index provided no return over a one year period during which the Index experienced annualized volatility of 25%. At higher ranges of volatility, there is a
Direxion Funds Prospectus
44

chance of a significant loss of value in the Fund, even if the Index’s return is flat. For instance, if the Index’s annualized volatility is 100%, the Fund would be expected to lose 91% of its value, even if the cumulative Index return for the year was 0%. Areas shaded red (or dark gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than -175% of the performance of the Index and those shaded green (or light gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return more than -175% of the performance of the Index. The table below is not a representation of the Fund’s actual returns, which may be significantly better or worse than the returns shown below as a result of any of the factors discussed above or in “Monthly Inverse Index Correlation Risk” below. The volatility of exchange traded securities or instruments that reflect the value of the Index may differ from the volatility of the Index.

The Index’s annualized historical volatility rate for the five year period ended September 30, 2022 was 6.34%. The Index’s highest volatility rate for any twelve-month period (October 1 to September 30) was 9.17% and volatility for a shorter period of time may have been substantially higher. The Index’s annualized performance for the five-year period ended September 30, 2022 was -0.37%. Historical Index volatility and performance are not indications of what the Index volatility and performance will be in the future. The volatility of ETFs or instruments that reflect the value of the Index, such as swaps, may differ from the volatility of the Index.
For information regarding the effects of volatility and Index performance on the long-term performance of the Fund, see “Additional Information Regarding Investment Techniques and Policies” in the Fund’s statutory prospectus, and “Negative Implications of Leveraged Monthly Goals In Volatile Markets” in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.
Leverage Risk The Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its net assets by utilizing leverage and may lose more money in market conditions that are adverse to its investment objective than a fund that does not utilize leverage. An investment in the Fund is exposed to the risk that a rise in the monthly performance of the Index will be magnified. This means that an investment in the Fund will be reduced by an amount equal to 1.75% for every 1% monthly rise in the Index, not including the costs of
financing leverage and other operating expenses, which would further reduce its value. The Fund could theoretically lose an amount greater than its net assets in the event of an Index rise of more than 58%. This would result in a total loss of a shareholder’s investment in one day even if the Index subsequently moves in the opposite direction and eliminates all or a portion of its earlier daily change. A total loss may occur in a single day even if the Index does not lose all of its value. Leverage will also have the effect of magnifying any differences in the Fund’s correlation with the Index and may increase the volatility of the Fund.
Due to the limited availability of necessary investments or financial instruments, the Fund could, among other things, as a defensive measure, limit or suspend purchases or redemptions of Fund shares until the Adviser determines that the requisite exposure to the Index is obtainable. The Fund may also change its investment objective by, for example, seeking to track an alternative index, or lowering its leverage multiple or the Fund could close.
Derivatives Risk Derivatives are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest rates or indexes. Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks, and may result in larger losses or smaller gains, than investing directly in the reference assets underlying those derivatives, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
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 correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions. The performance of a derivative may not track the performance of its reference asset for various reasons, including due to fees and other costs associated with it. Additionally, a swap on an ETF may not closely track the performance of the Index due to costs associated with trading ETFs, such as an ETF’s premium or discount and the difference between its market price and its net asset value. If the Index has a dramatic intraday increase or decrease that causes a material change in the Fund’s net assets, the terms of a swap agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close the swap agreement with the Fund. In that event, the Fund may not be able to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective. This may occur even if the Index reverses all or a portion of its intraday movement by the end of the day. Because derivatives often require only a limited initial investment, the use of derivatives may expose the Fund to losses in excess of the amount initially invested. As a result, the value of an investment in the Fund may change quickly and without warning. Additionally, any financing, borrowing or other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the effect of lowering the Fund’s return.

Direxion Funds Prospectus

Counterparty Risk A counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its contractual obligations or may fail to return holdings that are subject to the agreement with the counterparty. If the counterparty or its affiliate becomes insolvent, bankrupt or defaults on its payment obligations to the Fund, the value of an investment held by the Fund may decline. Additionally, if any collateral posted by the counterparty for the benefit of the Fund is insufficient or there are delays in the Fund’s ability to access such collateral, the Fund may not be able to achieve its inverse leveraged investment objective.
In addition, the Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of counterparties, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit risk. Further, there is a risk that no suitable counterparties will be willing to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the Fund and, as a result, the Fund may not be able to achieve its inverse leveraged investment objective or may decide to change its inverse leveraged investment objective.
Rebalancing Risk If for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a part of its portfolio, or if all or a portion of the portfolio is rebalanced incorrectly, the Fund’s investment exposure may not be consistent with its investment objective. In these instances, the Fund may have investment exposure to the Index that is significantly greater or significantly less than its stated multiple. The Fund may be more exposed to leverage risk than if it had been properly rebalanced and may not achieve its investment objective, leading to significantly greater losses or reduced gains.
Shorting Risk – A short position is a financial transaction in which an investor sells an asset that the investor does not own. In such a transaction, an investor’s short position appreciates when a reference asset falls in value. By contrast, the short position loses value when the reference asset’s value increases. Because historically most assets have risen in value over the long term, short positions are expected to depreciate in value. Accordingly, short positions may be riskier and more speculative than traditional investments. In addition, any income, dividends or payments by reference assets in which the Fund has a short position will impose expenses on the Fund that reduce returns.
The Fund may obtain short exposure through the use of derivatives, such as swap agreements or futures contracts. To the extent that the Fund obtains short exposure from derivatives, the Fund may be exposed to heightened volatility or limited liquidity related to the reference asset of the underlying short position, which will adversely impact the Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective or adversely impact its performance. If the Fund were to experience this volatility or decreased liquidity, the Fund may be required to obtain short exposure through alternative investment strategies that may be less desirable or more costly to implement. If the reference asset underlying the short position is thinly traded or has a limited market, there may be a lack of available securities or counterparties for the Fund to enter into a short position or obtain short exposure from a derivative.
Intra-Calendar Month Investment Risk The Fund seeks calendar month inverse leveraged investment results. The
exact exposure of an investment in the Fund intra-month will depend upon the movement of the Index from the end of the prior calendar month until the time of investment by the investor. If the Index loses value, the Fund’s net assets will rise by the same amount as the Fund’s exposure. Conversely, if the Index gains value, the Fund’s net assets will decline by the same amount as the Fund’s exposure. Thus, an investor who purchases shares on a day other than the last business day of a calendar month will likely obtain more, or less, than -175% leveraged investment exposure to the Index, depending upon the movement of the Index from the end of the prior calendar month until the time of investment by the investor.
If there is a significant intra-month market event and/or the securities of the Index experience a significant decrease, the Fund may not meet its investment objective or be able to rebalance its portfolio appropriately.
Monthly Inverse Index Correlation Risk There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of monthly inverse leveraged correlation to the Index. A number of factors may adversely affect the Fund’s inverse correlation with the Index, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs related to the use of derivatives, use of an ETF as a reference asset for derivative instruments, income items, valuation methodology, accounting standards, significant purchase and redemption activity by Fund shareholders and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities or derivatives held by the Fund.
Due to the Index including instruments that trade on a different market than the Fund, the Fund's return may vary from a multiple of the performance of the Index because different markets may close before the New York Stock Exchange opens or may not be open for business on the same calendar days as the Fund. Additionally, due to differences in trading hours, and because the Index may be calculated using prices obtained at times other than the Fund's net asset value calculation time, the Fund's performance may not correlate the Index.
In order to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index, the Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio on a monthly basis to keep exposure consistent with its inverse leveraged investment objective. Being materially over- or under-exposed to the Index may prevent the Fund from achieving a high degree of correlation with the Index. Market disruptions, regulatory restrictions or extreme volatility will also adversely affect the Fund’s ability to adjust exposure to the required levels. The target amount of portfolio exposure is impacted by the Index’s movement, thus it is unlikely the Fund will have perfect exposure (-175%) to the Index on the rebalance date and the likelihood of the Fund being materially over- or under-exposed is higher on days when the Index experiences volatility near the close of the trading day.
The Fund may not have inverse exposure to all securities in the Index, or its weighting of inverse exposure to such stocks or industries may be different from that of the Index. In addition, the Fund may invest in, or have exposure to, financial instruments not included in the Index. The Fund may also take, or refrain from taking, certain positions in order to improve tax efficiency or comply with regulatory
Direxion Funds Prospectus
46

restriction, either of which may negatively impact the Fund’s correlation with the Index. The 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 the Index. Activities surrounding Index reconstitutions and other Index repositioning events may hinder the Fund’s ability to meet its calendar month inverse leveraged investment objective.
Market Risk The Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of issuers, general market liquidity, exchange trading suspensions and closures, and public health risks. The Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt the securities, swap agreements or futures contract markets and adversely affect global economies, markets and exchanges. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, conflicts and social unrest or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund, its investments, and the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.
Liquidity Risk Holdings of the Fund, including derivatives, may be difficult to buy or sell or be illiquid, particularly during times of market turmoil. Illiquid securities may be difficult to value, especially in changing or volatile markets. If the Fund is forced to buy or sell an illiquid security or derivative instrument at an unfavorable time or price, the Fund may be adversely impacted. Certain market conditions or restrictions, such as market rules related to short sales, may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving a high correlation with the index. There is no assurance that a security or derivative instrument that is deemed liquid when purchased will continue to be liquid. Market illiquidity may cause losses for the Fund. To the extent that the Index increases, the Fund may be one of many market participants that are attempting to transact in the securities of the Index.
In certain cases, the market for certain securities in the Index and/or Fund may lack sufficient liquidity for all market participants' trades. Therefore, the Fund may have difficulty transacting in it and/or in correlated investments, such as swap contracts. Further, the Fund's transactions could exacerbate illiquidity and volatility in the price of the securities and correlated derivative instruments.
U.S. Government Securities Risk A security backed by the U.S. Treasury or the full faith and credit of the United States is guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity. The market prices for such securities are not guaranteed and will fluctuate. Furthermore, not all securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities are backed by the U.S. Treasury or the full faith and credit of the United States. In addition, because many types of U.S. government securities trade actively outside the United States, their prices may
rise and fall as changes in global economic conditions affect the demand for these securities. In addition, U.S. Treasury obligations may differ from other securities in their interest rates, maturities, times of issuance and other characteristics. Changes in the financial condition or credit rating of the U.S government may cause the value of U.S. Treasury obligations to decline.
Credit Risk The Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a debt security goes bankrupt or is unable or unwilling to make interest payments and/or repay principal. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength or in an issuer’s or debt security’s credit rating also may affect a security’s value and thus have an impact on Fund net asset value and performance. Generally, the longer the maturity and the lower the credit quality of a security, the more sensitive it is to credit risk.
Debt Instrument Risk The value of debt instruments may increase or decrease as a result of the following: market fluctuations; changes in interest rates; actual or perceived inability of issuers, guarantors, or liquidity providers to make scheduled principal or interest payments; or illiquidity in debt securities markets. Debt instruments are also impacted by political, regulatory, market and economic developments that impact the market in general and specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the fixed income market. In general, rising interest rates lead to a decline in the value of debt securities and debt securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes usually making their prices more volatile than those of securities with shorter durations. To the extent that interest rates rise, certain underlying obligations may be paid off substantially slower than originally anticipated and the value of those securities may fall. Declining interest rates may lead to prepayment of obligations and cause reduced rates of return due to reinvestment of interest and principal payments at lower interest rates.
Interest Rate Risk When interest rates increase, fixed income securities or instruments held by the Fund will generally decline in value. A rising interest rate environment, as well as inflation, may adversely impact the liquidity of fixed-income securities and lead to increased volatility of fixed-income markets. Long-term fixed income securities or instruments will normally have more price volatility because of this risk than short-term fixed income securities or instruments. The risks associated with changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and the Fund’s investments. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of fixed income securities and instruments held by the Fund.
Early Close/Trading Halt Risk An exchange or market may close or issue trading halts on specific securities of financial instruments or restrict the ability to buy or sell certain portfolio securities or financial instruments, which may result in the Fund being unable to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments. In such circumstances, the Fund may be unable to accurately price its investments, may incur significant tracking differences with its Index, may incur substantial losses and may limit or stop purchases of the Fund.

Direxion Funds Prospectus

Market Timing Activity Risk Rafferty expects a significant portion of the assets of the Fund to come from professional money managers and investors who use the Fund as part of “asset allocation” and “market timing” investment strategies. These strategies often call for frequent trading, which may lead to large shareholder transactions into and out of the Fund. These large movements of assets may lead to increased portfolio turnover, higher transaction costs and the possibility of increased net realized capital gains, including net short-term capital gains. Additionally, these large movement of assets may have a negative impact on the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund’s expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus.
Money Market Instrument Risk The Fund may use a variety of money market instruments for cash management purposes, including money market funds, depositary accounts and repurchase agreements. Money market funds may be subject to credit risk with respect to the debt instruments in which they invest. Depository accounts may be subject to credit risk with respect to the financial institution in which the depository account is held. Repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk related to the collateral securing the repurchase agreement. Money market instruments may lose money.
Non-Diversification Risk The Fund is non-diversified, which means it invests a high percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities. Additionally, the Fund may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in swap agreements with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may result in the Fund experiencing increased volatility and its net asset value and total return may fluctuate more or fall greater in times of weaker markets than a diversified fund.
Fund Performance
The following performance information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by demonstrating how its returns have varied from calendar year to calendar year. The bar chart shows changes in the Fund’s performance from calendar year to calendar year. The table shows how the Fund’s average annual returns for the one-year, five-year and ten-year periods compare with those of one or more broad-based market indexes for the same periods. The Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance is available on the Fund’s website at www.direxion.com/mutual-funds?producttab=performance or by calling the Fund toll-free at (800) 851-0511.
The performance noted below, and prior to August 1, 2022, reflects the Fund’s previous monthly inverse leveraged investment objective, before fees and expenses, of -200% of the Index.
The performance shown prior to April 14, 2013 reflects the Fund’s previous investment objective where it sought monthly investment results, before fees and expenses, of -175% of the performance of the NYSE Current 10-Year U.S. Treasury
Index. If the Fund’s investment objective had remained the same, the calendar year performance of the Fund would have varied from that shown.
In addition, performance shown from April 15, 2013 to May 2, 2016 reflects the Fund’s previous monthly inverse leveraged investment objective, before fees and expenses, of -200% of the NYSE 7-10 Year Treasury Bond Index. After May 2, 2016, the Fund began to seek a monthly inverse leveraged investment objective, before fees and expenses, of -200% of the ICE U.S. Treasury 7-10 Year Bond Index. If the Fund had continued to seek its previous investment objective, the calendar year performance of the Fund would have varied from that shown.
Total Return for the Calendar Years Ended December 31
During the period of time shown in the bar chart, the Fund’s highest calendar quarter return was 11.82% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and its lowest calendar quarter return was -18.15% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The year-to-date return as of September 30, 2022 was 35.12%.

Overview of the Funds
The Direxion Funds (the “Trust”) is a registered investment company offering a number of separate series. This Prospectus describes shares of the funds noted below (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). Rafferty Asset Management, LLC serves as the investment adviser to each Fund (“Rafferty” or “Adviser”).
The Funds with the word “Bull” in their name (the “Bull Funds”), attempt to provide investment results that correlate positively to the return of an underlying index, meaning the Bull Funds attempt to move in the same direction as the underlying index. The Funds with the word “Bear” in their name (the “Bear Funds”), attempt to provide investment results that correlate negatively to the return of an underlying index, meaning that each Bear Fund attempts to move in the opposite or inverse direction of the underlying index.

There is no assurance that the Funds will achieve their investment objectives. An investment in a Fund could lose money. No single Fund is a complete investment program.
Changes in Investment Objective. Each Fund’s investment objective is not a fundamental policy and may be changed by the Funds’ Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.
Defensive Policy. Generally, each Fund pursues its investment objective regardless of market conditions and does not take defensive positions. However, if an underlying index changes dramatically against a Fund, Rafferty will attempt to position that Fund’s portfolio to ensure that the Fund does not lose more than 90% of its net asset value (“NAV”) in a given calendar month. In addition, because it may be difficult for a Fund to achieve its stated investment objective any time its assets fall below $2 million, Rafferty may invest the assets of any such Fund in short-term U.S. government securities until the level of net assets is sufficient to permit the desired investments. Taking a temporary defensive position may result in a Fund not achieving its investment objective. To find out more information about the Funds, you may call (800) 851-0511.
Additional Information Regarding Investment Techniques and Policies
Rafferty uses a number of investment techniques in an effort to achieve the stated investment objective for each Fund. Each Fund seeks either 175% or -175%, before fees and expenses, of the return of its underlying index for a given calendar month.
For the Bull Funds, Rafferty attempts to provide 175%, before fees and expenses, of the return of each Bull Fund’s underlying index for a calendar month. The Bear Funds are managed to provide returns 175% of the inverse (or opposite), before fees and expenses, of the return of each Bear Fund’s underlying index for a calendar month. To do this, Rafferty creates net “long” positions for the Bull Funds and net “short” positions for the Bear Funds. (Rafferty may create short positions in the Bull Funds and long positions in the Bear Funds even though the net exposure in the Bull Funds will be long and the net exposure in the Bear Funds will be short.) Long positions move in the same direction as their underlying index, advancing when the underlying index advances and declining when the underlying index declines. Short positions move in the opposite direction of their underlying index, advancing when the underlying index declines and declining when the underlying index advances.
In seeking to achieve each Fund’s investment objective, Rafferty uses statistical and quantitative analysis to determine each Fund’s investments and the techniques to employ. Rafferty relies upon a pre-determined model to determine the appropriate repositioning of each Fund’s investments in accordance with its monthly investment objective. Using this analysis, Rafferty determines the type, quantity and mix of investment positions that it believes in combination should produce monthly returns consistent with a Fund’s investment objective. In general, if a Fund is performing as designed, the return of the underlying index will dictate the return for that Fund.
Exposure to Underlying Index and Portfolio Repositioning. Each Fund has a clearly articulated goal which requires it to seek economic exposure in excess of its assets (i.e., net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes). Therefore, each
Direxion Funds Prospectus
50

Fund invests in some combination of financial instruments that provide economic exposure consistent with its investment objective. Seeking calendar month leveraged investment results provides potential for greater gains and losses relative to underlying index performance. On the last business day of each calendar month, Rafferty will position each Fund so that its portfolio obtains exposure to its underlying index that is consistent with its investment objective. The impact of market movements on each Fund’s index during the calendar month will determine whether the portfolio needs to be repositioned at the end of each month.
Bull Fund. If the underlying index rises from the beginning of a calendar month to the end of the calendar month, a Bull Fund’s net assets should rise, meaning the Bull Fund’s exposure may need to be increased. Conversely, if the underlying index falls from the beginning of a calendar month to the end of the calendar month, a Bull Fund’s net assets should fall, meaning the Bull Fund’s exposure may need to be reduced.
Bear Fund. If the underlying index rises from the beginning of a calendar month to the end of the calendar month, a Bear Fund’s net assets should fall, meaning the Bear Fund’s exposure may need to be reduced. If the underlying index falls from the beginning of a calendar month to the end of the calendar month, a Bear Fund’s net assets should rise, meaning the Bear Fund’s exposure may need to be increased.
A Fund’s portfolio may also need to be changed to reflect changes in the composition of an underlying index.
Each Fund may invest in swap agreements, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), swaps on ETFs, futures contracts, forward contracts, reverse repurchase agreements, options, and other financial instruments. Rafferty uses these types of investments to produce economically “leveraged” investment results. Leveraging allows Rafferty to generate a greater positive or negative returns than what may be generated on the invested capital without leverage, thus changing small market movements into larger changes in the value of the investments of a Fund. To create the necessary exposure, a Bear Fund engages in short selling – borrowing and selling securities it does not own. The money that a Bear Fund receives from short sales – the short sale proceeds – is an asset of the Bear Fund that can generate income to help offset the Bear Fund’s operating expenses. However, the costs of creating short exposure, which may require the Fund’s counterparties to borrow and sell certain securities, may offset or outweigh such income.
A Bull Fund generally may hold a representative sample of the securities that represents its underlying index. The use of a representative sample of securities by a Bull Fund, as compared to replicating the underlying index directly, is intended to maintain high correlation with, and similar aggregate characteristics (e.g., market capitalization and industry weightings) to, the underlying index. However, the use of a representative sample of securities, may not track the underlying index as closely as holding securities that replicate the index in its entirety.
Both Bull and Bear Funds also may gain exposure to securities that are not included in the underlying index or may overweight or underweight certain components of the underlying index. A Fund’s assets may be concentrated in an industry or group of industries to the extent that the Fund’s underlying index concentrates in a particular industry or group of industries. In addition, each Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest in the securities of a limited number of issuers.
Index Correlation (Tracking Risk). Each Bull Fund is designed to provide calendar month leveraged investment returns, before fees and expenses that is 175% the return of its underlying index for a calendar month. Each Bear Fund is designed to provide calendar month inverse leveraged investment returns, before fees and expenses, that is 175% the inverse (or opposite) of the return of its underlying index for a calendar month. While Rafferty attempts to minimize any “tracking risk” (the statistical measure of the difference between the investment results of a Fund and the expected performance given its monthly leveraged investment objective), certain factors will cause a Fund’s investment results to vary from its stated investment objective. A Fund may have difficulty in achieving its calendar month target due to fees and expenses such as financing fees related to derivative investments and operating expenses of the Fund, high portfolio turnover, transaction costs, significant purchase and redemption activity by Fund shareholders and/or a temporary lack of liquidity in the markets for the securities held by the Fund. Additionally, if a Fund’s underlying index includes foreign securities or tracks a foreign market index where the foreign market closes before or after the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) closes (generally at 4 PM Eastern Time), the performance of the underlying index may differ from the expected monthly leveraged performance.
Impact of Compounding and Volatility. For a period longer than one calendar month, the pursuit of calendar month goals may result in calendar month leveraged compounding, which means that the return of an underlying index over a period of time greater than one calendar month multiplied by a Fund’s calendar month target (e.g., 175% or -175%) generally will not equal a Fund’s performance over that same period. As such, although federal regulations require that this Prospectus include annualized performance and multi-year expense information for each Fund, investors should bear in mind that the Funds seek calendar month, and not annual, investment results. A one-year period is used for illustrative purposes only. Deviations from the returns of a Fund’s underlying index times a Fund’s multiplier (175% or -175%) can occur over short periods. Consider the following examples:
51
Direxion Funds Prospectus

Compounding Example 1 – Underlying Index Lacks a Trend
Mary is considering investments in three Funds, Fund A, Fund B and Fund C. Fund A is a traditional index fund which seeks (before fees and expenses) to match the performance of the XYZ index. Fund B is a leveraged Fund and seeks calendar month leveraged investment results (before fees and expenses) that correspond to 175% of the calendar month performance of the XYZ index. Fund C is a leveraged Fund and seeks calendar month leveraged investment results (before fees and expenses) that correspond to -175% of the calendar month performance of the XYZ index.
In January, the XYZ index increases in value from $100 to $105, a gain of 5%. In February, the XYZ index declines from $105 back to $100, a loss of 4.76%. In the aggregate, the XYZ index has not moved.
An investment in Fund A would be expected to gain 5% in January and lose 4.76% in February to return to its original value. The following example assumes a $100 investment in Fund A when the index is also valued at $100:

Although the percentage decline is smaller in February than the percentage gain in January, the loss is applied to a higher principal amount so the investment in Fund B has a loss of 0.31% even when the aggregate index value for the two-month period has not declined. (These calculations do not include the charges for expense ratio and the financing charges.)
Because Fund C seeks leveraged inverse returns, the same $100 investment in Fund C would be expected to lose 8.75% in January and then gain 8.33% in February.

Because the gain in February is multiplied by the already-diminished investment, the investment in Fund C does not make up its January losses even though the index has returned to its original value.
Compounding Example 2 – Underlying Index Has a Clear Trend
Leveraged compounding will not always result in greater losses. If the index trends in one direction (e.g. increases in value for two consecutive months), the compounded return will outperform the index’s cumulative performance multiplied by 175% or -175% (as applicable). For example, if the XYZ Index were to increase to $110 in February (instead of decline back to $100 as it had in the prior example), the resulting performance of Fund A, Fund B and Fund C would be as follows:

In the above example, the index’s cumulative performance was 10%, but Fund B gained slightly more than 17.50% (175% of 10%), due to the fact that February’s additional gains were applied to a higher investment amount. Additionally, although the index’s trend was adverse to Fund C’s performance in both months, the cumulative loss to the investment was less than 17.50%, due to the fact that February’s additional losses were applied to an already-lowered investment amount. Because the index trended in one direction, compounding improved the cumulative performance of both Fund B and Fund C.
This would also be true if the index trended in the other direction. However, in that instance, Fund C would outgain -175% of the index’s cumulative performance and Fund B’s losses would be slightly less than 175% of the index’s cumulative performance.
An investor who purchases shares on a day other than the last business day of a calendar month will generally receive more, or less, than 175% or -175% (as applicable) exposure to the underlying index from the time of investment through the end of the month. The actual exposure is a function of the performance of the underlying index from the end of the prior calendar month to the date of investment in the Fund. If a Fund’s shares are held through the end of a calendar month or months, the Fund’s performance is likely to deviate from the multiple of the underlying index’s performance for the longer period. This deviation will increase with higher index volatility and longer holding periods. As a consequence, investors should not plan to hold the funds unmonitored through the end of a month or for longer periods of time. Volatility exacerbates the effects of compounding on a Fund’s returns. For instance, if the S&P 500® Index gains 10% during a year, the Direxion Monthly S&P 500® Bull 1.75X Fund should not be expected to provide a return of 17.50% for the year even if it meets its calendar month investment objective throughout the year. This is true because the pursuit of calendar month goals may result in calendar month leveraged compounding, which means that the return of an index over a period of time greater than one calendar month multiplied by 175%, in the case of a Bull Fund, or -175%, in the case of a Bear Fund, will not generally equal a Fund’s performance over that same period. Further, the return for investors that invest for a period less than a calendar month or for a period longer than a calendar month is unlikely to be 175% or -175% of the return of the underlying index for shorter period. The Funds are not suitable for all investors. For example, consider the following three examples:
Example 3 – Underlying Index Experiences Low Volatility
Mary invests $10.00 in a Bull Fund on the last day of Calendar Month 1. During Calendar Month 2, the Fund’s underlying index rises from 100 to 102, a 2% gain. Mary’s investment rises 3.5% to $10.35. Mary holds her investment through the end of Calendar Month 3, during which the Bull Fund’s underlying index rises from 102 to 104, a gain of 1.96%. Mary’s investment rises to $10.71, a gain during Calendar Month 3 of 3.43%. For the two calendar month period since Mary invested in the Bull Fund, the benchmark gained 4% although Mary’s investment increased by 7.1%. Because the underlying index continued to trend upwards with low volatility, Mary’s return closely correlates to the 175% return of the return of the underlying index for the period.
53
Direxion Funds Prospectus

Example 4 – Underlying Index Experiences High Volatility
Mary invests $10.00 in a Bull Fund on the last day of Calendar Month 1. During Calendar Month 2, the Bull Fund’s underlying index rises from 100 to 110, a 10% gain, and Mary’s investment rises 17.5% to $11.75. Mary continues to hold her investment through the end of Calendar Month 3, during which the Bull Fund’s underlying index declines from 110 to 90, a loss of 18.18%. Mary’s investment declines by 31.82%, from $11.75 to $8.01. For the two calendar month period since Mary invested in the Bull Fund, its underlying index lost 10% while Mary’s investment decreased from $10 to $8.01, a 19.9% loss. The volatility of the underlying index affected the correlation between the underlying index’s return for the two calendar month periods and Mary’s return. In this situation, Mary lost more than 1.75 times the return of the underlying index.
Example 5 – Intra Month Investment with Volatility
The examples above assumed that Mary purchased the Fund on the last day of the relevant calendar month and received exposure equal to 175% of her investment. If she made an investment on a subsequent day, she would have received a beta determined by the performance of the underlying index from the end of the prior calendar month until the date of the purchase.
Mary invests $10.00 in the hypothetical Bull Fund on the 5th day of Calendar Month 1. From the end of the prior calendar month until the day on which Mary invests, the underlying index moved from 100 to 94, a 6% loss. In light of that loss, the hypothetical Bull Fund’s beta at the point at which Mary invests is 184%. During the remainder of Calendar Month 1, the Bull Fund’s underlying index rises from 94 to 97, a gain of 3.19%, and Mary’s investment rises 5.87% (which is the underlying index’s gain of 3.19% multiplied by the 184% beta that she received) to $10.59.
Market Volatility. Each Fund seeks to provide a return which is a multiple of the calendar month performance of an underlying index. No Fund attempts to, and no Fund should be expected to, provide returns which are a multiple of the return of an underlying index for periods other than one calendar month. Each Fund rebalances its portfolio on a calendar month basis, increasing exposure in response to that month’s gains or reducing exposure in response to that month’s losses.
Monthly rebalancing will impair a Fund’s performance if its underlying index experiences volatility. For instance, a Bull Fund would be expected to lose 4.0% (as shown in Table 1 below) if its underlying index provided no return over a one year period and experienced annualized volatility of 25%. A Bear Fund would be expected to lose 17.1% (as shown in Table 1 below) if its underlying index provided no return over a one year period and had annualized volatility of 25%. If an underlying index’s annualized volatility were to rise to 50%, the hypothetical loss for a one year period for a Bull Fund widens to approximately 15.1% while the loss for a Bear Fund rises to 52.8%.

Table 2 shows the annualized volatility for each of the indexes to which one of the Funds is benchmarked over the five year period ended June 30, 2022. The Funds’ underlying indexes have historical volatility rates over that period ranging from 6.34% to 26.65%. Since market volatility, like that experienced by the markets recently, has negative implications for the Funds which rebalance on a calendar month basis, investors should be sure to monitor and manage their investments in the Funds, particularly in volatile markets. The negative implications of volatility noted in Table 1 can be combined with the recent volatility ranges of various indexes in Table 2 to give investors some sense of the risks of holding the Funds for long periods. These tables are intended to simply underscore the fact that the Funds that seek calendar month leveraged investment results are not intended to be used by, and are not appropriate for, investors who do not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios.

The cumulative annual performance of the hypothetical underlying index in Table 3 is 5%. The return of the hypothetical Bull Fund for the calendar year is 3.67%, while the return of the hypothetical Bear Fund for the calendar year is -25.19%. The volatility of the hypothetical underlying index’s performance and the lack of a clear trend means that a hypothetical Fund’s gains or losses bear little relationship to the performance of the hypothetical underlying index for the year.

Risks
An investment in a Fund entails risks. A Fund may not achieve its investment objective and may decline in value. In addition, a Fund presents risks not traditionally associated with most mutual funds. For example, due to the Funds' monthly leveraged or inverse leveraged investment objectives, a small adverse move in a Fund's underlying index will result in larger and potentially substantial declines in that Fund. It is important that investors closely review and understand all of a Fund’s risks before making an investment. A Fund is not a complete investment program. While the realization of certain of the risks described below may benefit a Bear Fund due to its inverse investment objective, such occurrences may introduce more volatility to the Bear Fund, which could have a significant negative impact on Fund performance. The table below provides the risks of investing in the Funds. Following the table, each risk is explained.

Effects of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk
Each Fund has a monthly leveraged investment objective and a Fund’s performance for periods greater than a full
calendar month which is defined as the period from the end of the last business day of one calendar month through the close of trading on the last business day of the following
57
Direxion Funds Prospectus

calendar month will be the result of each month's returns compounded over the period, which is very likely to differ from an underlying index’s performance times the stated multiple in a Fund’s investment objective, before fees and expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but has a more significant impact on leveraged funds and funds that rebalance monthly.
Over time, the cumulative percentage increase or decrease in the value of a Fund’s portfolio may diverge significantly from the cumulative percentage increase or decrease in 175% or -175% of the return of a Fund's underlying index due to the compounding effect of losses and gains on the returns of a Fund. It also is expected that a Fund’s use of leverage will cause the Fund to underperform the return of 175% or -175% of its underlying index in a trendless or flat market.
The chart below provides examples of how index volatility could affect a Fund’s performance. An index’s volatility rate is a statistical measure of the magnitude of fluctuations in the returns of the index. Fund performance for periods greater than one calendar month can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: a) index volatility; b) index performance; c) period of time; d) financing rates associated with leveraged exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and f) dividends or interest paid with respect to securities in its underlying index. The chart below illustrates the impact of two principal factors – index volatility and index performance – on Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of index volatility and index performance over a one-year period. Performance shown in the chart assumes that: (i) no dividends were paid with respect to the securities included in its underlying index; (ii) there were no Fund expenses; and (iii) borrowing/lending rates of 0%. If Fund expenses and/or actual borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the estimated returns would be worse than those shown. Particularly during periods of higher index volatility, compounding will cause results for periods longer than a full calendar month to vary from 175% or -175% of the performance of the underlying index.
As shown below, a Bull Fund would be expected to lose 4% and a Bear Fund would be expected to lose 14% if the underlying index provided no return over a one year period during which the underlying index experienced annualized volatility of 25%. If the underlying index’s annualized volatility were to rise to 75%, the hypothetical loss for a one year period widens to approximately 53.6% for a Bull Fund and 74.2% for a Bear Fund. At higher ranges of volatility, there is a chance of a significant loss of value even if the underlying index is flat. For instance, if the underlying index’s annualized
volatility is 100%, it is likely that a Bull Fund would lose 48.1% of its value, and a Bear Fund would lose approximately 91% of its value, even if the underlying index’s cumulative return for the year was only 0%.

A Fund’s actual returns may be significantly better or worse than the returns shown above. The charts above is intended to isolate the effects of underlying index volatility and underlying index performance on the return of a Fund. The charts is intended to underscore the fact that a Fund is designed as a short-term trading vehicle for investors who intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios.

of the investment. A Fund is not appropriate for investors who do not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios.
Leverage Risk
To achieve its monthly investment objective, each Fund employs leverage and is exposed to the risk that adverse calendar month performance of a Fund's underlying index will be magnified. This means that, if a Fund's underlying index experiences an adverse calendar month performance, an investment in the Fund will be reduced by an amount equal to 1.75% for every 1% of adverse performance, not including the costs of financing leverage and other operating expenses, which would further reduce its value.
A Fund could theoretically lose an amount greater than its net assets if its underlying index moves more than 58% in a direction adverse to the Fund (meaning a decline in the value of the underlying index of a Bull Fund and a gain in the value of the underlying index for a Bear Fund). This would result in a total loss of an shareholder’s investment in one day even if its underlying index subsequently moves in the opposite direction and eliminates all or a portion of its earlier daily change. A total loss may occur in a single day even if its underlying index does not lose all of its value. Leverage will also have the effect of magnifying any differences in a Fund’s correlation with the underlying index or may increase a Fund’s volatility.
Due to the limited availability of necessary investments or financial instruments, a Fund could, among other things, as a defensive measure, limit or suspend purchases or redemptions of Fund shares until the Adviser determines that the requisite exposure to the underlying index is obtainable. A Fund may also change its investment objective by, for example, seeking to track an alternative index, or lowering its leverage multiple or the Fund could close.
Derivatives Risk
A Fund uses investment techniques, including investments in derivatives, such as swaps, futures and forward contracts, and options that may be considered aggressive. The use of derivatives may result in larger losses or smaller gains than investing in the underlying securities directly, or in the case of a Bear Fund, directly shorting the underlying securities. Investments in these derivatives may generally be subject to market risks that cause their prices to fluctuate more than an investment directly in a security and may increase the volatility of a Fund. The use of derivatives may expose a Fund to additional risks such as counterparty risk, liquidity risk and increased monthly correlation risk. When a Fund uses derivatives, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the underlying reference assets and the derivative, which may prevent a Fund from achieving its investment objective.
A Fund expects to use swaps on the underlying index. If the underlying index has a dramatic intraday move in value that causes a material decline in a Fund’s NAV, the terms of the swap agreement between a Fund and its counterparty may allow the counterparty to immediately close out of the transaction with a Fund. In such circumstances, a Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve the desired exposure
consistent with a Fund’s monthly leveraged investment objective. This may prevent a Fund from achieving its monthly leveraged investment objective particularly if the underlying index reverses all or a portion of its intraday move by the end of the day. The value of an investment in the Fund may change quickly and without warning. Any financing, borrowing or other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the effect of lowering a Fund’s return.
In addition, a 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 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 reference asset. Swap agreements are generally traded over-the-counter, and therefore, may not receive regulatory protection, which may exposure investors to significant losses.
Futures Contracts. A futures contact is a contract to purchase or sell a particular security, or the cash value of an index, at a specified future date at a price agreed upon when the contract is made. Under such contracts, no delivery of the actual securities is required. Rather, upon the expiration of the contract, settlement is made by exchanging cash in an amount equal to the difference between the contract price and the closing price of a security or index at expiration, net of the variation margin that was previously paid.
Forward Contracts. Forward contracts are two-party contracts pursuant to which one party agrees to pay the counterparty a fixed price for an agreed upon amount of commodities, securities, or the cash value of the commodities, securities or the securities index, at an agreed upon date. A forward currency contract is an obligation to buy or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract.
Options. An option is a contract that gives the purchaser (holder) of the option, in return for a premium, the right to buy from (call) or sell to (put) the seller (writer) of the option the security or currency underlying the option at a specified exercise price at any time during the term of the option (normally not exceeding nine months). The writer of an option has the obligation upon exercise of the option to deliver the underlying security or currency upon payment of the exercise price or to pay the exercise price upon delivery of the underlying security or currency.
Options on Futures Contracts. An option on a futures contract provides the holder with the right to enter into a “long” position in the underlying futures contract, in the case of a call option, or a “short” position in the underlying futures contract in the case of a put option,
59
Direxion Funds Prospectus

at a fixed exercise price to a stated expiration date. Upon exercise of the option by the holder, the contract market clearing house establishes a corresponding short position for the writer of the option, in the case of a call option, or a corresponding long position, in the case of a put option.
Counterparty Risk
Counterparty risk is the risk that a counterparty is unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its contractual obligations with respect to the amount a Fund expects to receive from a counterparty to a financial instrument entered into by a Fund. Each Fund generally enters into derivatives transactions, such as the swap agreements, with counterparties such that either party can terminate the contract without penalty prior to the termination date. A Fund may be negatively impacted if a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations under such a contract, or if any collateral posted by the counterparty for the benefit of a Fund is insufficient or there are delays in a Fund’s ability to access such collateral. If the counterparty becomes bankrupt or defaults on its payment obligations to a Fund, it may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery, may obtain only a limited recovery or obtain no recovery and the value of an investment held by a Fund may decline. The Fund may also not be able to exercise remedies, such as the termination of transactions, netting of obligations and realization on collateral, if such remedies are stayed or eliminated under special resolutions adopted in the United States, the European Union and various other jurisdictions. European Union rules and regulations intervene when a financial institution is experiencing financial difficulties and could reduce, eliminate, or convert to equity a counterparty’s obligations to a Fund (sometimes referred to as a “bail in”).
A Fund typically enters into transactions with counterparties that present minimal risks based on the Adviser’s assessment of the counterparty’s creditworthiness, or its capacity to meet its financial obligations during the term of the derivative agreement or contract. The Adviser considers factors such as counterparty credit rating among other factors when determining whether a counterparty is creditworthy. The Adviser regularly monitors the creditworthiness of each counterparty with which a Fund transacts. Each Fund generally enters into swap agreements or other financial instruments with major, global financial institutions and seeks to mitigate risks by generally requiring that the counterparties for each Fund to post collateral, marked to market daily, in an amount approximately equal to what the counterparty owes a Fund, subject to certain minimum thresholds. To the extent any such collateral is insufficient or there are delays in accessing the collateral, the Funds will be exposed to the risks described above. If a counterparty’s credit ratings decline, a Fund may be subject to a bail-in, as described above.
In addition, a Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of counterparties, which may increase a Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit risk. A Fund does not specifically limit its counterparty risk with respect to
any single counterparty. There is a risk that no suitable counterparties are willing to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with a Fund and, as a result, a Fund may not be able to achieve its investment objective or may decide to change its leveraged investment objective. Additionally, although a counterparty to a centrally cleared swap agreement and/or an exchange-traded futures contract is often backed by a futures commission merchant (“FCM”) or a clearing organization that is further backed by a group of financial institutions, there may be instances in which a FCM or a clearing organization would fail to perform its obligations, causing significant losses to a Fund.
Rebalancing Risk
If for any reason a Fund is unable to rebalance all or a part of its portfolio, or if all or a portion of the portfolio is rebalanced incorrectly, a Fund’s investment exposure may not be consistent with its investment objective. In these instances, a Fund may have investment exposure to the underlying index that is significantly greater or less than its stated multiple. A Fund may be more exposed to leverage risk than if it had been properly rebalanced and may not achieve its investment objective, leading to significantly greater losses or reduced gains.
Shorting Risk
For the Bear Funds, shareholders should lose money when the underlying index rises, which is a result that is the opposite from traditional index tracking funds. A Bear Fund may engage in short sales designed to earn the Bear Fund a profit from the decline in the price of particular securities, baskets of securities or indices. Short sales are transactions in which a Bear Fund borrows securities from a broker and sells the borrowed securities. A Bear Fund is obligated to replace the security borrowed by purchasing the security at the market price at the time of replacement. If the market price of the underlying security goes down between the time a Bear Fund sells the security and buys it back, a Bear Fund will realize a gain on the transaction. Conversely, if the underlying security goes up in price during the period, a Bear Fund will realize a loss on the transaction. Any such loss is increased by the amount of premium or interest a Bear Fund must pay to the lender of the security. Likewise, any gain will be decreased by the amount of premium or interest a Bear Fund must pay to the lender of the security. A Bear Fund’s investment performance may also suffer if the Bear Fund is required to close out a short position earlier than it had intended. This would occur if the securities lender required a Bear Fund to deliver the securities the Bear Fund borrowed at the commencement of the short sale and the Bear Fund was unable to borrow the securities from another securities lender or otherwise obtain the security by other means. In addition, a Bear Fund may be subject to expenses related to short sales that are not typically associated with investing in securities directly, such as costs of borrowing and margin account maintenance costs associated with the Bear Fund’s open short positions. As the holder of a short position, a Bear Fund also is responsible for paying the dividends and interest accruing on the short position, which is an expense

to the Bear Fund that could cause the Bear Fund to lose money on the short sale and may adversely affect its performance.
A Bear Fund will typically obtain inverse or “short” exposure through the use of derivatives such as swap agreements or futures contracts, which may expose a Bear Fund to certain risks such as an increase in volatility or decrease in the liquidity of the securities of the underlying short position. If a Bear Fund were to experience this volatility or decreased liquidity, a Bear Fund’s return may be lower, the Fund’s ability to obtain inverse exposure through the use of derivatives may be limited or a Bear Fund may be required to obtain inverse exposure through alternative investment strategies that may be less desirable or more costly to implement. If the securities underlying the short positions are thinly traded or have a limited market due to various factors, including regulatory action, a Bear Fund may be unable to meet its investment objective due to a lack of available securities or counterparties. A Bear Fund may not be able to issue additional Shares during period when it cannot meet its investment objective due to these factors. Any income, dividends or payments by the assets underlying a Bear Fund’s short positions will negatively impact the Fund.
Intra-Calendar Month Investment Risk
A Fund seeks calendar month leveraged investment results. Thus, an investor who purchases shares on a day other than the last business day of a calendar month will likely obtain more, or less, than 175% (for a Bull Fund) or -175% (for a Bear Fund) investment exposure to its underlying index, depending upon the movement of its underlying index from the end of the prior calendar month until the time of investment by an investor. If, since the beginning of the month, its underlying index has moved in a direction favorable to a Fund at the time of an investor’s investment in it, the investor will receive exposure to its underlying index less than 175% (for a Bull Fund) or -175% (for a Bear Fund). Conversely, if its underlying index has moved in a direction adverse to a Fund at the time of an investor’s investment in it, the investor will receive exposure to its underlying index greater than 175% (for a Bull Fund) or -175% (for a Bear Fund).
Monthly Index Correlation Risk
There can be no guarantee that a Bull Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation with its investment objective relative to its underlying index. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent a Bull Fund from achieving its investment objective. A number of factors may adversely affect a Bull Fund’s correlation with its underlying index, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs related to the use of derivatives, investments in ETFs, directly or indirectly as a reference asset for derivative instruments, income items, valuation methodology, accounting standards and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities or derivatives held by a Bull Fund. Market disruptions, regulatory restrictions or extreme volatility will also adversely affect a Bull Fund’s ability to adjust exposure to the required levels. Activities surrounding index reconstitutions and other index repositioning events may hinder a Bull Fund’s ability to meet its calendar month leveraged investment objective.
Because an underlying index may include instruments that trade on a different market than a Bull Fund, a Bull Fund’s return may vary from a multiple of the performance of an underlying index because different markets may close before the Exchange opens or may not be open for business on the same calendar days as a Bull Fund. Additionally, due to differences in trading hours between these different markets, and because the underlying index may be calculated using prices obtained at times other than a Fund’s NAV calculation time, correlation to the underlying index may be measured by comparing the Fund’s monthly return to a multiple of the calendar month performance of an underlying index or by comparing the monthly change in a Fund’s NAV per share to a multiple of the calendar month performance of one or more U.S. ETFs that reflect the values of the securities underlying an underlying index as of a Fund’s NAV calculation time. It is important to note that correlation to these ETFs may vary from the correlation to an underlying index due to embedded costs and other factors.
A Bull Fund may not have investment exposure to all securities in its underlying index, or its weighting of investment exposure to such stocks or industries may be different from that of its underlying index. In addition, a Bull Fund may invest in securities or financial instruments not included in its underlying index. A Bull Fund may take or refrain from taking positions in order to improve tax efficiency or comply with regulatory restrictions, either of which may negatively affect a Bull Fund’s correlation with its underlying index. A Bull Fund may be subject to large movements of assets into and out of a Bull Fund, potentially resulting in a Bull Fund being over- or under-exposed to its underlying index. Additionally, securities in a Fund's underlying index may trade on markets that may not be open on the same day as a Bull Fund, which may cause a difference between the performance of a Bull Fund and its underlying index.
Any of these factors individually or in combination with other factors could decrease the correlation between the monthly performance of a Bull Fund and its underlying index and may hinder a Bull Fund’s ability to meet its leveraged investment objective.
Monthly Inverse Index Correlation Risk
Each Bear Fund is negatively correlated to its underlying index and should lose money when its underlying index rises — a result that is the opposite from traditional index funds.
There can be no guarantee that a Bear Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation with its inverse leveraged investment objective relative to its underlying index. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent a Bear Fund from achieving its investment objective. A number of factors may adversely affect a Bear Fund’s correlation with its underlying index, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs related to the use of derivatives, use of an ETF as a reference asset for derivative instruments, income items, valuation methodology, accounting standards and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities or derivatives held by a Bear Fund. Market disruptions, regulatory restrictions or extreme volatility will also adversely
61
Direxion Funds Prospectus

affect a Bear Fund’s ability to adjust exposure to the required levels. Activities surrounding index reconstitutions and other index repositioning events may hinder a Bear Fund’s ability to meet its calendar month inverse leveraged investment objective.
Because an underlying index may include instruments that trade on a different market than a Bear Fund, a Bear Fund’s return may vary from the inverse of a multiple of the performance of an underlying index because different markets may close before the Exchange opens or may not be open for business on the same calendar days as a Bear Fund. Additionally, due to differences in trading hours between these different markets, and because the underlying index may be calculated using prices obtained at times other than a Fund’s NAV calculation time, correlation to the underlying index may be measured by comparing the Fund’s monthly return to the inverse of a multiple of the calendar month performance of an underlying index or by comparing the monthly change in a Fund’s NAV per share to a multiple of the inverse of the calendar month performance of one or more U.S. ETFs that reflect the values of the securities underlying an underlying index as of a Fund’s NAV calculation time. It is important to note that correlation to these ETFs may vary from the correlation to an underlying index due to embedded costs and other factors. Additionally, there may be legal restrictions or limitation imposed by governments of certain countries which may limit the size of a Fund’s holding or otherwise limit a Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.
A Bear Fund may not have investment exposure to all securities in its underlying index, or its weighting of investment exposure to such stocks or industries may be different from that of its underlying index. In addition, a Bear Fund may invest in securities or financial instruments not included in its underlying index. A Bear Fund may take or refrain from taking positions in order to improve tax efficiency or comply with regulatory restrictions, either of which may negatively affect a Bear Fund’s inverse correlation with its underlying index. A Bear Fund may be subject to large movements of assets into and out of a Bear Fund, potentially resulting in a Bear Fund being over- or under-exposed to its underlying index. Additionally, securities in a Fund's underlying index may trade on markets that may not be open on the same day as a Bear Fund, which may cause a difference between the performance of a Bear Fund and its underlying index.
Any of these factors individually or in combination with other factors could decrease the correlation between the monthly performance of a Bear Fund and its underlying index and may hinder a Bear Fund’s ability to meet its inverse leveraged investment objective.
Other Investment Companies (including ETFs) Risk
A Fund may invest in another investment company, including an ETF, to pursue its investment objective. When investing in another investment company, including an ETF, a Fund becomes a shareholder of that investment company and as a result, Fund shareholders indirectly bear a Fund’s proportionate share of the fees and expenses of the other investment company, in addition to the fees and expenses of a Fund’s own operations. A Fund must rely on the other
investment company to achieve its investment objective. Accordingly, if the other investment company fails to achieve its investment objective, a Fund’s performance will likely be adversely affected. To the extent a Fund obtains exposure to another investment company, including an ETF, by entering into a derivatives contract whose reference asset is an investment company, a Fund will not be a shareholder of the other investment company but will still be exposed to the risk that it may fail to achieve its investment objective and adversely impact the Fund. In addition, to the extent that a Fund invests in an investment company that is an ETF, it will be exposed to all of the risks associated with the ETF structure. Shares of ETFs are listed and traded on national stock exchanges and their shares potentially may trade at a discount or a premium to an ETF’s net asset value, which may result in an ETF’s market price being more or less than the value of the index that the ETF tracks especially during periods of market volatility or disruption. There may also be additional trading costs due to an ETF’s bid-ask spread, which may adversely impact a Fund’s performance.
Market Risk
A Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of issuers, general market liquidity, exchange trading suspensions and closures, and public health risks. A Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt the securities, swap agreements or futures contract markets and adversely affect global economies, markets, and exchanges. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, conflicts and social unrest or other events could have a significant impact on a Fund, its investments and a Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.
Liquidity Risk
Some securities held by a Fund, including derivatives, may be difficult to buy or sell or illiquid, particularly during times of market turmoil. Illiquid securities may be difficult to value, especially in changing or volatile markets. If a Fund is forced to buy or sell an illiquid security or derivative instrument at an unfavorable time or price, a Fund may incur a loss. Certain market conditions may prevent a Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving a high correlation with its underlying index. There is no assurance that a security or derivative instrument that is deemed liquid when purchased will continue to be liquid. Market illiquidity may cause losses for certain Funds. For these Funds, to the extent that an underlying index moves adversely, a Fund may be one of many market participants that are attempting to transact in the securities of an underlying index or correlated instruments.
In certain cases, the market for certain securities in its underlying index and/or Fund may lack sufficient liquidity for all market participants' trades. Therefore, a Fund may have difficulty transacting in it and/or in correlated
Direxion Funds Prospectus
62

investments, such as swap contracts. Further, a Fund's transactions could exacerbate illiquidity and volatility in the price of the securities and correlated derivative instruments.
Communication Services Sector Risk
The communication services sector may be dominated by a small number of companies which may lead to additional volatility in the sector. Communication services companies are particularly vulnerable to the potential obsolescence of products and services due to technological advances and the innovation of competitors. Communication services companies may also be affected by other competitive pressures, such as pricing competition, as well as research and development costs, substantial capital requirements and government regulation. Fluctuating domestic and international demand, shifting demographics and often unpredictable changes in consumer demand can drastically affect a communication services company’s profitability. Telecommunication service providers are often required to obtain licenses or franchises in order to provide services in a given location. Licensing or franchise rights are limited, which may result in an advantage to certain participants. Compliance with governmental regulations, delays or failure to receive regulatory approvals, or the enactment of new regulatory requirements may negatively affect the business of telecommunication services companies. Companies in media and entertainment industries can be significantly affected by competition, particularly in formulating new products and services using new technologies, and the cyclicality of revenues and earnings. Certain companies in the communication services sector may be particular targets of network security breaches, hacking and potential theft of proprietary or consumer information or disruptions in services, which would have a material adverse effect on their businesses.
Consumer Discretionary Sector Risk
Because companies in the consumer discretionary sector manufacture products and provide discretionary services directly to the consumer, the success of these companies is tied closely to the performance of the overall domestic and international economy, including the functioning of the global supply chain, interest rates, competition and consumer confidence. Success depends heavily on disposable household income and consumer spending, and may be strongly affected by social trends and marketing campaigns. Also, companies in the consumer discretionary sector may be subject to severe competition, which may have an adverse impact on a company’s profitability. Changes in demographics and consumer tastes also can affect the demand for, and success of, consumer discretionary products in the marketplace.
Credit Risk
A Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a debt security goes bankrupt or is unable or unwilling to make interest payments and/or repay principal. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength or in an issuer’s or debt security’s credit rating also may affect a security’s value and thus have an impact on Fund performance. The degree of credit risk for a particular security may be reflected in its credit rating.
Lower rated debt securities involve greater credit risk, including the possibility of default or bankruptcy. Generally, the longer the maturity and the lower the credit quality of a security, the more sensitive it is to credit risk.
Debt Instrument Risk
The value of debt instruments may increase or decrease as a result of the following: market fluctuations; changes in interest rates; actual or perceived inability of issuers, guarantors, or liquidity providers to make scheduled principal or interest payments; or illiquidity in debt securities markets. Debt instruments are also impacted by political, regulatory, market and economic developments that impact the market in general and specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the fixed income market. In general, rising interest rates lead to a decline in the value of debt securities and debt securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes usually making their prices more volatile than those of securities with shorter durations. To the extent that interest rates rise, certain underlying obligations may be paid off substantially slower than originally anticipated and the value of those securities may fall. Declining interest rates may lead to prepayment of obligations and cause reduced rates of return due to reinvestment of interest and principal payments at lower interest rates.
Financials Sector Risk
Performance of companies in the financials sector may be materially impacted by many factors, including but not limited to, government regulations, economic conditions, credit rating downgrades, changes in interest rates and decreased liquidity in credit markets. Profitability of these companies is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers also can negatively impact the sector. These companies are also subject to substantial government regulation and intervention, which may adversely impact the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge, the amount of capital they must maintain, and potentially, their size. Government regulation may change frequently and may have significant adverse consequences for financial companies, including effects that are not intended by such regulation. The impact of more stringent capital requirements, or recent or future regulation in various countries on any individual financial company or of the financials sector as a whole, cannot be predicted. The financials sector is also a target for cyber attacks and may experience technology malfunctions and disruptions, which have occurred more frequently in recent years.
Healthcare Sector Risk
The profitability of companies in the healthcare sector may be affected by extensive, costly and uncertain government regulation, restrictions on government reimbursement for medical expenses, rising costs of medical products and services, pricing pressure, changes in the demand for medical products and services, an increased emphasis on outpatient services, limited product lines, industry innovation and/or consolidation, changes in technologies and other market developments. Many healthcare companies are heavily dependent on patent protection, which may be time
63
Direxion Funds Prospectus

consuming and costly. The expiration of patents may adversely affect the profitability of these companies. Many healthcare companies are subject to extensive litigation based on product liability and similar claims. Healthcare companies are subject to competitive forces that may make it difficult to raise prices and, in fact, may result in price discounting. Many new products in the healthcare sector require significant research and development and may be subject to regulatory approvals. The process of obtaining such approvals may be long and costly.
Industrials Sector Risk
Stock prices of issuers in the industrials sector are affected by supply and demand both for their specific product or service and for industrials sector products in general. Government regulation, world events, including trade disputes, exchange rates and economic conditions, technological developments and liabilities for environmental damage and general civil liabilities will also affect the performance of investment in such issuers. Aerospace and defense companies, a component of the industrials sector, can be significantly affected by government spending policies because companies involved in this industry rely to a significant extent on U.S. and other government demand for their products and services. Thus, the financial condition of, and investor interest in, aerospace and defense companies are heavily influenced by government defense spending policies which are typically under pressure from efforts to control government spending budgets. Transportation companies, another component of the industrials sector, are subject to cyclical performance and therefore investment in such companies may experience occasional sharp price movements which may result from changes in the economy, fuel prices, labor agreements and insurance costs. The industrials sector may also be adversely affected by changes or trends in commodity prices, which may be influenced by unpredictable factors. Issuers with high carbon intensity or high switching costs associated with the transition to low carbon alternatives may be more impacted by climate transition risks.
Information Technology Sector Risk
The value of stocks of information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence, government regulation, and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from competitors with lower production costs. In addition, many information technology companies have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. Information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile and less liquid than the overall market. Information technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect profitability. Additionally, companies in the information technology sector may face dramatic and often unpredictable
changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel.
Interest Rate Risk
Debt securities, and securities that provide exposure to debt securities, have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates. In addition, a Fund is subject to the risk that interest rates may change and exhibit increased volatility, thus affecting the performance of a Fund. Securities with longer maturities can be more sensitive to interest rate changes. To the extent a Fund’s Index includes a substantial portion of its assets in fixed-income securities with longer-term durations, rising interest rates may cause the value of the Index to decline significantly. An increase in interest rates may lead to heightened volatility in the fixed-income markets and adversely affect the liquidity of certain fixed-income investments. A decrease in fixed-income market maker capacity may act to decrease liquidity in the fixed-income markets and act to further increase volatility, affecting a Fund’s return.
In addition, short-term and long-term interest rates do not necessarily move in the same amount or the same direction. Short-term securities tend to react to changes in short-term interest rates, and long-term securities tend to react to changes in long-term interest rates. The impact of an interest rate change may be significant for other asset classes as well, whether because of the impact of interest rates on economic activity or because of changes in the relative attractiveness of asset classes due to changes in interest rates. For instance, higher interest rates may make investments in debt securities more attractive, thus reducing investments in equities. The link between interest rates and debt security prices tends to be weaker with lower-rated debt securities than with investment-grade debt securities.
U.S. Government Securities Risk
A security backed by the U.S. Treasury or the full faith and credit of the United States is guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity. The market prices for such securities are not guaranteed and will fluctuate. In addition, because many types of U.S. government securities trade actively outside the United States, their prices may rise and fall as changes in global economic conditions affect the demand for these securities. Furthermore, not all securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities are backed by the U.S. Treasury or the full faith and credit of the United States. In addition, U.S. Treasury obligations may differ from other securities in their interest rates, maturities, times of issuance and other characteristics. Changes in the financial condition or credit rating of the U.S government may cause the value of U.S. Treasury obligations to decline. A downgrade of the ratings of U.S. government debt obligations could result in higher interest rates for individual and corporate borrowers, cause disruptions in bond markets and have a substantial negative effect on the U.S. economy.

Large-Capitalization Company Risk
Large-capitalization companies may be less able to adapt to changing market conditions or to respond quickly to competitive challenges or to changes in business, product, financial, or market conditions. Larger companies may not be able to maintain growth at rates that may be achieved by well-managed smaller and mid-size companies, which may affect the companies’ returns.
Micro-Capitalization Company Risk
Micro-capitalization companies often have limited product lines, narrower markets for their goods and/or services and more limited managerial and financial resources than larger, more established companies, including companies which are considered small- or mid-capitalization. In addition, because these stocks are not well known to the investing public, do not have significant institutional ownership and are followed by relatively few security analysts, there will normally be less publicly available information concerning these securities compared to what is available for the securities of larger companies. Adverse publicity and investor perceptions, whether based on fundamental analysis, can decrease the value and liquidity of securities held by a Fund. As a result, their performance can be more volatile and they face greater risk of business failure, which could increase the volatility of a Fund’s portfolio.
Mid-Capitalization Company Risk
Mid-capitalization companies often have narrower markets for their goods and/or services and more limited managerial and financial resources. Furthermore, those companies often have limited product lines, services, markets, financial resources, less stable earnings, or are dependent on a small management group. In addition, because these stocks are not well known to the investing public, do not have significant institutional ownership and are followed by relatively few security analysts, there will normally be less publicly available information concerning these securities compared to what is available for the securities of larger companies. Adverse publicity and investor perceptions, whether or not based on fundamental analysis, can decrease the value and liquidity of securities held by a Fund. As a result, the price of mid-capitalization companies can be more volatile and they may be less liquid than large-capitalization companies, which could increase the volatility of a Fund’s portfolio.
Small- and/or Mid-Capitalization Company Risk
Small- and/or mid-capitalization companies often have narrower markets for their goods and/or services, less stable earnings, and more limited managerial and financial resources. Furthermore, those companies often have limited product lines, services, markets, financial resources or are dependent on a small management group. Because these stocks are not well-known to the investing public, there will normally be less publicly available information concerning these securities. Adverse publicity and investor perceptions, whether or not based on fundamental analysis, can decrease the value and liquidity of securities held by a Fund, resulting in more volatile performance. They also face greater risk of business failure, which could increase the volatility of a Fund’s portfolio.
Depositary Receipt Risk
To the extent a Fund invests in, or has exposure to, foreign companies, investment may be in the form of depositary receipts or other securities convertible into securities of foreign issuers. American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) are receipts typically issued by an American bank or trust company that evidence ownership of underlying securities issued by a foreign corporation. European Depositary Receipts (“EDRs”) are receipts issued in Europe that evidence a similar ownership arrangement. Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”) are receipts issued throughout the world that evidence a similar arrangement. Generally, ADRs, in registered form, are designed for use in the U.S. securities markets, and EDRs, in bearer form, are designed for use in European securities markets. GDRs are tradable both in the United States and in Europe and are designed for use throughout the world. Depositary receipts will not necessarily be denominated in the same currency as their underlying securities.
Depositary receipts may be purchased through “sponsored” or “unsponsored” facilities. A sponsored facility is established jointly by the issuer of the underlying security and a depositary, whereas a depositary may establish an unsponsored facility without participation by the issuer of the depositary security. Holders of unsponsored depositary receipts generally bear all the costs of such facilities and the depositary of an unsponsored facility frequently is under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications received from the issuer of the deposited security or to pass through voting rights to the holders of such receipts of the deposited securities.
Fund investments in depositary receipts, which include ADRs, GDRs and EDRs, are deemed to be investments in foreign securities for purposes of a Fund’s investment strategy.
Foreign Securities Risk
Foreign instruments may involve greater risks than domestic instruments. As a result, a Fund’s returns and NAV may be affected to a large degree by fluctuations in currency exchange rates, interest 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 United States, and there may be less public information available about foreign companies.
Foreign securities may involve additional risk, including, greater market volatility, the availability of less reliable financial information, higher transactional and custody costs, taxation by foreign governments, decreased market liquidity and political instability. Certain foreign markets may rely heavily on particular industries or foreign capital and are more vulnerable to diplomatic developments, the imposition of economic sanctions against a particular country or countries, organizations, entities and/or individuals, changes in international trade patterns, trade barriers, and other protectionists or retaliatory measures. Additionally, a Fund may be impacted by a limitation on foreign ownership of securities, the imposition of withholding or other taxes, restrictions on the repatriation of cash or other assets, higher transaction and custody costs, delays in the settlement of
65
Direxion Funds Prospectus

securities, difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations and lower levels of regulation in the securities markets.
Early Close/Trading Halt Risk
An exchange or market may close or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments or restrict the ability to buy or sell certain portfolio securities or financial instruments, which may result in a Fund being unable to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments. In such circumstances, a Fund may be unable to accurately price its investments, may incur significant tracking differences with its underlying index, may incur substantial losses and may limit or stop purchases of the Fund.
Equity Securities Risk
Publicly-issued equity securities, including common stocks, are subject to market risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Fluctuations in the value of equity securities in which a Fund invests will cause the NAV of the Fund to fluctuate.
High Portfolio Turnover Risk
Monthly rebalancing of a Fund’s holdings pursuant to its daily investment objective causes a much greater number of portfolio transactions when compared to most funds. In addition, there is the possibility of significantly increased short-term capital gains (which will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income when distributed to them). A Fund calculates portfolio turnover without including the short-term cash instruments or derivative transactions that comprise the majority of a Fund’s trading. As such, if a Fund’s extensive use of derivative instruments were reflected, the calculated portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.
Market Timing Activity Risk
Rafferty expects a significant portion of the assets of a Fund to come from professional money managers and investors who use a Fund as part of “asset allocation” and “market timing” investment strategies. These strategies often call for frequent trading to take advantage of anticipated changes in market conditions. Frequent trading could increase the rate of a Fund’s portfolio turnover, which involves correspondingly greater expenses to the Fund, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups/mark-downs and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities. Such sales also may result in adverse tax consequences to a Fund’s shareholders from distributions to them of net gains realized on the sales. The trading costs and tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect a Fund’s performance. In addition, large movements of assets into and out of a Fund may have a negative impact on its ability to achieve its investment objective or its desired level of operating expenses. The risks associated with market timing activity and high portfolio turnover will have a negative impact on longer-term investments. Please see the “Financial Highlights” section of this Prospectus for a Fund’s historic portfolio turnover rates.
Non-Diversification Risk
A Fund invests a high percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities. Additionally, a Fund may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in swap agreements
with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. A Fund’s NAV and total return may fluctuate more, or fall greater, in times of weaker markets than a diversified mutual fund because the Fund may invest its assets in a smaller number of issuers or may invest a larger proportion of its assets in a single issuer. As a result, the gains or losses on a single investment may have a greater impact on a Fund’s NAV and may make a Fund more volatile than more diversified funds.
Tax Risk
To qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, a Fund must meet certain requirements concerning the source of its income for each taxable year, meet certain asset diversification tests at the end of each taxable quarter, and meet annual distribution requirements. If in any year, a Fund were to fail to qualify as a RIC, and it was ineligible to, or was not able to, cure such failure, a Fund would be taxed in the same manner as an ordinary corporation subject to U.S. federal income tax on all of its income at the fund level as well as a tax to shareholders on such income when distributed by a Fund as an ordinary dividend. The resulting taxes could substantially reduce a Fund’s net assets and the amount of income available for distribution. In addition, to requalify as a RIC, a Fund would be required to recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest and make certain distributions.
Other Risks of the Funds
Investment Strategy Implementation Risk
The Adviser utilizes a quantitative methodology to select investments for each Fund. Although this methodology is designed to correlate each Bull Fund's daily performance with 175% of the daily performance of its underlying index and each Bear Fund’s daily performance with -175% of the performance of its underlying index, there is no assurance that the implementation of such methodology will be successful and will enable a Fund to achieve its investment objective.
Aggressive Investment Technique Risk
Using investment techniques that may be considered aggressive, such as futures contracts, options and swap agreements, includes the risk of potentially dramatic changes (losses) in the value of the instruments, imperfect correlations between the price of the instrument and the underlying asset, security or index, and volatility of a Fund.
Commodity Pool Registration Risk
The Funds are considered commodity pools, and therefore each is subject to regulation under the Commodity Exchange Act and CFTC rules. Compliance with such additional laws, regulations and enforcement policies may potentially increase compliance costs and may affect the operations and financial performance of the Funds.
Cybersecurity Risk
The increased use of technologies, such as the internet, to conduct business increases the operational, information
Direxion Funds Prospectus
66

security and related “cyber” risks both directly to a Fund and through its service providers. Similar types of cyber security risks are also present for issuers of securities in which a Fund may invest, which could result in material adverse consequences for such issuers. Unlike many other types of risks faced by a Fund, these risks typically are not covered by insurance. Cyber incidents can result from deliberate attacks or unintentional events. Cyber incidents may include, but are not limited to, gaining unauthorized access to digital systems (e.g., through “hacking” or malicious software coding) for purposes of misappropriating assets or sensitive information, corrupting data, causing physical damage to computer or network systems, or causing operational disruption. Cyber attacks may also be carried out in a manner that does not require gaining unauthorized access, such as causing denial-of-service attacks on websites (i.e., efforts to make network services unavailable to intended users).
Failures or breaches of the electronic systems of a Fund, a Fund’s adviser, distributor, other service providers, counterparties, securities trading venues, or the issuers of securities in which a Fund invests have the ability to cause disruptions and negatively impact a Fund’s business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses to a Fund and its shareholders. Cyber attacks may also interfere with the Fund’s calculation of its NAV, result in the submission of erroneous trades , and could lead to violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs and/or additional compliance costs. While a Fund has established business continuity plans, there are inherent limitations in such plans, including the possibility that certain risks have not been identified and that prevention and
remediation efforts will not be successful. Furthermore, a Fund cannot control the cyber security plans and systems of a Fund’s service providers or issuers of securities in which a Fund invests.
Investment Risk
An investment in a Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. When you sell your Shares, they could be worth less than what you paid for them.
Money Market Instrument Risk
Money market instruments, including money market funds, depositary accounts and repurchase agreements may be used for cash management purposes. Money market funds may be subject to credit risk with respect to the short-term debt instruments in which they invest. Depository accounts may be subject to credit risk with respect to the financial institution in which the depository account is held. Repurchase agreements are contracts in which a seller of securities agrees to buy the securities back at a specified time and price. Repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk related to the collateral securing the repurchase agreement. Money market instruments may also be subject to credit risks associated with the instruments in which they invest. There is no guarantee that money market instruments will maintain a stable value, and they may lose money.
Regulatory Risk
Additional legislative or regulatory changes could occur that may materially and adversely affect each Fund. Such changes could result in material adverse consequences for each Fund.

About Your Investment
Share Price of the Funds
A fund’s share price is known as its NAV. Each Fund’s share price is calculated as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE, usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (“Valuation Time”), each day the NYSE is open for business (“Business Day”). The NYSE is open for business Monday through Friday, except in observation of the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth National Independence Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. The NYSE may close early on the Business Day before each of these holidays and on the day after Thanksgiving Day. NYSE holiday schedules are subject to change without notice.
The value of each Fund’s assets that trade in markets outside the United States or in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar may fluctuate on days that foreign markets are open but the Fund is not open for business.
All shareholder transaction orders received in good form by a Fund’s transfer agent or an authorized financial intermediary by the time that each Fund calculates its NAV (as described above) will be processed at that day’s NAV, plus any applicable sales charges. Transaction orders received after the time that a Fund calculates its NAV will receive the next calculated NAV, plus any applicable sales charges.
Share price is calculated by dividing a Fund’s net assets by its shares outstanding. Portfolio securities and other assets are valued chiefly by market prices from the primary market in which they are traded. Under Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, a market quotation is readily available when that “quotation is a quoted price (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments that the fund can access at the measurement date, provided that a quotation will not be readily available if it is not reliable.” Each Fund uses the following methods to price securities or assets held in its portfolio with readily available market quotations:
Equity securities listed and traded principally on any domestic or foreign national securities exchange are valued at the last sales price. Exchange-traded funds are valued at the last sales price prior to Valuation Time. Securities primarily traded in the NASDAQ Global Market® are valued using the NASDAQ® Official Closing Price. Over-the counter securities are valued at the last sales price in the over-the-counter market;
Futures contracts are valued at (1) the settlement prices established each day on the exchange on which they are traded if the settlement price reflects trading prior to the Valuation Time, (2) at the last sales price prior to the Valuation Time if the settlement prices established by the exchange reflects trading after Valuation Time, or (3) at the last sales price of the exchange prior to the Valuation Time;
Options are valued at the composite price, using National Best Bid and Offer quotes; and
Securities and other assets for which market quotations are unavailable or unreliable are valued at fair value estimates as determined by the Adviser pursuant to its fair valuation policies.
Fair Value Pricing. When a market quotation is not readily available or is unreliable, the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) is responsible for determining in good faith the fair value of the portfolio security or other asset. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5, the Board designated the responsibility for fair valuation to the Adviser as its valuation designee (“Valuation Designee”). Fair value determinations are made in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Adviser and approved by the Board, which set forth the methodologies by which a portfolio security or other asset will be fair valued. The Adviser may utilize fair valuation services of a pricing service to obtain a fair value for certain portfolio securities or other assets as well.
An investment that relies on Level 2 or Level 3 inputs according to ASC 820, such as swap agreements, is required to be fair valued as such investments do not have readily available market quotations by definition. Swap agreements are valued based on the closing value of the underlying reference instrument. Additionally, the Adviser will fair value a portfolio security or other asset if there is not a readily available market quotation, which may occur in the following situations: (1) to the extent that a Fund holds foreign securities, when foreign markets close before the NYSE opens or may not be open for business on the same calendar days as the Fund; (2) if there has been a significant event in the markets that makes the price of a portfolio security or asset unreliable; (3) if there is a lack of an active market, such as the market for certain preferred securities or for corporate bonds; and (4) if trading in a security is limited during the trading day and a limited number of quotes are available or If trading in a security is halted during a trading day and does not resume prior to the closing of the exchange or other market.
Fair valuation determinations of portfolio securities or other assets introduce an element of subjectivity to pricing of such portfolio securities or other assets. As a result, the price of a security or other asset determined through fair valuation techniques may differ from the price quoted or published by other sources and may not accurately reflect the market value of the security when trading resumes. If a reliable market quotation becomes available for a security formerly valued through fair valuation techniques, the Adviser compares the market quotation to the fair value price to evaluate the effectiveness of the Adviser’s fair valuation procedures.

Rule 12b-1 Fees
Each Fund has adopted an Investor Class distribution plan under Rule 12b-1 (the “Investor Class Plan”) pursuant to which each Fund pays for distribution and services provided to Fund shareholders. Because these fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.
Pursuant to its Investor Class Plan, each Fund may pay an annual Rule 12b-1 fee of up to 1.00% of its average daily net assets. The Board of Trustees has currently authorized each Fund to pay a maximum annual Rule 12b-1 fee of 0.25% of its average daily net assets.
Under an agreement with the Funds, your registered investment adviser, financial planner, broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (“Financial Adviser”), may receive Rule 12b-1 fees from the Funds. In exchange, your Financial Adviser may provide a number of services, such as: placing your orders and issuing confirmations; providing investment advice, research and other advisory services; handling correspondence for individual accounts; acting as the sole shareholder of record for individual shareholders; issuing shareholder statements and reports; executing daily investment “sweep” functions; and other shareholder services as described in the Funds' Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”). For more information on these and other services, you should speak directly to your Financial Adviser. Your Financial Adviser may charge additional account fees for services beyond those specified above.
Additional Payments to Financial Intermediaries
The Adviser (and its affiliates) may make substantial payments to financial intermediaries and service providers for distribution and/or shareholder servicing activities, out of their own resources, including the profits from the advisory fees the Adviser receives from the Funds. These payments may be made to financial intermediaries for marketing, promotional or related expenses. These payments, sometimes referred to as “revenue sharing,” do not change the price paid by investors to purchase shares of the Funds or the amount investors in the Funds would receive as proceeds from the redemption of such shares and will not increase the expenses of investing in the Funds.
Examples of “revenue sharing” payments include, but are not limited to, payment to financial institutions for “shelf space” or access to a third party platform or portfolio offering list or other marketing programs, including, but not limited to, inclusion of a Fund on preferred or recommended sales lists, mutual fund “supermarket” platforms and other formal sales programs; granting the Adviser access to the financial institution’s sales force; granting the Adviser access to the financial institution’s conferences and meetings; assistance in training and educating the financial institution’s personnel; and obtaining other forms of marketing support. Revenue sharing payments also may be made to financial intermediaries that provide various services to the Funds, including but not limited to, record keeping, shareholder servicing, transaction processing, sub-accounting services and other administrative services. The Adviser may make other payments or allow other promotional incentives to financial intermediaries to the extent permitted by the SEC, by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) and by other applicable laws and regulations.
The level of revenue sharing payments made to financial intermediaries may be a fixed fee or based upon one or more of the following factors: gross sales, current assets and/or number of accounts of a Fund attributable to the financial institution, or other factors as agreed to by the Adviser and the financial institution or any combination thereof. The amount of these revenue sharing payments is determined at the discretion of the Adviser from time to time, may be substantial, and may be different for different financial institutions depending upon the services provided by the financial institution. Such payments may provide an incentive for the financial institution to make shares of a Fund available to its customers and may allow the Funds greater access to the financial institution’s customers.
Shareholder Services Guide
You may invest in the Funds through traditional investment accounts, including Automatic Investment Plans, individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”) (including Roth IRAs), self-directed retirement plans or company-sponsored retirement plans. Applications and descriptions of any service fees for retirement or other accounts are available directly from the Funds. You may invest directly with the Funds or through certain financial intermediaries. Any transaction effected through a financial intermediary may be subject to a processing fee. The minimum initial investment is set forth below and may be invested in as many of the Funds as you wish, subject to a minimum investment in each Fund of $25,000. Rafferty may waive these minimum requirements at its discretion. Contact Rafferty if you need additional information or assistance.
Shares of the Funds have not been registered for sale outside of the United States. A Fund generally does not sell shares to investors residing outside of the United States, even if they are United States citizens or lawful permanent residents, except to investors with United States military APO or FPO addresses.
Each Fund offers the option to submit purchase orders through your financial intermediary or to send purchase orders to a Fund as described in the table below.

Account and Transaction Policies
Payment for Shares. All purchases must be made in U.S. Dollars through a U.S. bank. The Funds will not accept payment in cash or money orders. In addition, to prevent check fraud, each Fund does not accept third party checks, U.S. Treasury checks, credit card checks, traveler’s checks, or starter checks for the purchase of shares. We are unable to accept post-dated checks or any conditional order or payment. If your check does not clear, you will be charged a $25.00 fee. In addition, you may be responsible for losses sustained by the Funds for any returned payment.
You will receive written confirmation by mail, but we do not issue share certificates.
Anti-Money Laundering Program. The Funds' transfer agent will verify certain information from investors as part of the Funds' anti-money laundering program.
The USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 requires financial institutions, including the Funds, to adopt certain policies and programs to prevent money laundering activities, including procedures to verify the identity of customers opening new accounts. When completing a new account application, you will be required to supply your full name, date of birth, social security number and permanent street address to assist in verifying your identity. If you are opening the account in the name of a legal entity (e.g., partnership, limited liability company, business trust, corporation, etc.), you must also supply the identity of the beneficial owners. Mailing addresses containing only a P.O. Box will not be accepted. Until such verification is made, the Funds may temporarily limit additional share purchases. In addition, the Funds may limit additional share purchases or close an account if they are unable to verify a shareholder’s identity. As required by law, the Funds may employ various procedures, such as comparing the information to fraud databases or requesting additional information or documentation from you, to ensure that the information supplied by you is correct.
If a Fund does not have a reasonable belief of the identity of a shareholder, the account will be rejected or the shareholder will not be allowed to perform a transaction on the account until such information is received. The Funds may also reserve the right to close the account within five business days if clarifying information and/or documentation is not received.
Good Form. Good form means that your purchase (whether direct or through a financial intermediary) is complete and contains all necessary information, has all supporting documentation (such as trust documents, beneficiary designations, proper signature guarantees, IRA rollover forms, etc.) and is accompanied by sufficient purchase proceeds. For a purchase request to be in good form, it must include: (1) the name of the Fund; (2) the dollar amount or share amount to be purchased; and (3) your purchase application or investment stub. An application that is sent to the transfer agent does not constitute a purchase order until the transfer agent processes the application and receives correct payment by check or wire transfer. A Fund does not consider the U.S. Postal Service or other independent delivery services to be its agents. Therefore, deposit in the mail or with such services, or receipt at U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC’s post office box, of purchase applications or redemption requests does not constitute receipt by the transfer agent of the Fund. Receipt of purchase orders or redemption requests is based on when the order is received at the Transfer Agent’s offices.
Certain transactions through a financial intermediary may not be deemed in good form if such financial intermediary failed to properly notify the Funds of such trade or trades. In particular, financial intermediaries that transact in shares of the Funds through the Fundserv system must, in many cases, notify the Funds of trades before placing them in the Fundserv system. In the event that a financial intermediary transacts in shares of the Funds through the Fundserv system without notifying the Funds of such trades in advance, such transaction may be deemed not to have been received in good form. In practice, this means that a confirmation from a financial intermediary is not binding on the Funds. In the event that a trade is deemed not to have been received in good form, for whatever reason, a purchase, redemption or exchange request may be rejected or canceled and, in the event of a redemption which is canceled, the Funds shall have the right to a return of proceeds. Cancellation of a trade is processed at the NAV at which the trade was originally received and is ordinarily completed the next business day. Please contact your financial intermediary to determine how it processes transactions in shares of the Funds.
Financial Intermediaries. If you opened your shareholder account through a financial intermediary, you will ordinarily submit your transaction orders through that financial intermediary. Financial intermediaries are responsible for placing orders promptly with the Funds and forwarding payment promptly, as well as ensuring that you receive copies of the Funds' Prospectus. Financial intermediaries may charge fees for the services they provide to you in connection with processing your transaction order or maintaining your account with them. Each intermediary also may have its own rules about share transactions, limits on the number of share transactions you are permitted to make in a given time period, and may have earlier cut-off times for processing your transaction. For more information about your financial intermediary’s rules and procedures, you should contact your financial intermediary directly. In addition, Rafferty may, from time to time, at its own expense, compensate financial intermediaries for distribution or marketing services.
Order Policies. There are certain times when you may be unable to sell shares of the Funds or proceeds may be delayed. This may occur during emergencies, unusual market conditions or when a Fund cannot determine the value of its assets or sell its holdings. A Fund reserves the right to reject any purchase order or suspend offering of its shares. Generally, the Funds may reject a purchase if it is disruptive to the efficient management of the Funds.
Direxion Funds Prospectus
72

Telephone Transactions. For your protection, the Funds may require some form of personal identification prior to accepting your telephone request such as verification of your social security number, account number or other information. If an account has more than one owner or authorized person, the Funds will accept telephone instructions from any one owner or authorized person. We also may record the conversation for accuracy. During times of unusually high market activity or extreme market changes, you should be aware that it may be difficult to place your request in a timely manner. Telephone trades must be received by or prior to market close. Please allow sufficient time to place your telephone transaction. Telephone redemption and exchange transaction privileges are automatically granted, unless you declined such privileges on your account application. If you previously declined telephone privileges and would like to add this option to your account, please contact the Funds at (800) 851-0511 for instructions. The maximum amount that may be redeemed by telephone is $100,000. Once a telephone transaction has been placed, it cannot be canceled or modified after the close of regular trading on the NYSE (generally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time).
Automatic Investment Plan. For your convenience, each Fund offers an Automatic Investment Plan (“AIP”). Under the AIP, after you make your initial minimum investment of $25,000, you authorize the Funds to withdraw the amount you wish to invest from your personal bank account on a monthly basis. The AIP requires a minimum monthly investment of $500. If you wish to participate in the AIP, please complete the “Automatic Investment Plan” section on the account application or call the Funds at (800) 851-0511 if you have any questions. In order to participate in the AIP, your bank or financial institution must be a member of the ACH network. The Funds may terminate or modify this privilege at any time. You may change your investment amount or terminate your participation in the AIP at any time by notifying the Funds' transfer agent by telephone or in writing, five days prior to the effective date of the next transaction. A fee, currently $25, will be imposed if your AIP transaction is returned.
Signature Guarantees. In certain instances when you sell shares of the Funds, we will need your signature guaranteed. Signature guarantees will generally be accepted from domestic banks, brokers, dealers, credit unions, national securities exchanges, registered securities associations, clearing agencies and savings associations, as well as from participants in the New York Stock Exchange Medallion Signature Program and the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (“STAMP”). A notary public cannot guarantee signatures. Your signature must be guaranteed, by either a Medallion program member or a non-Medallion program member, if:
You are changing your account ownership;
When a redemption request is received by the transfer agent and the account address has changed within the last 30 calendar days;
The redemption proceeds are payable or sent to any person, address or bank account other than the one listed on record with the Funds;
The sale is greater than $100,000; or
There are other unusual situations as determined by the Funds' transfer agent.
Non-financial transactions including establishing or modifying certain services on an account may require a signature guarantee, signature verification or other acceptable signature authentication from a financial institution source. A Fund may waive any signature guarantee requirement at its discretion.
Exchange Policies. You may exchange Investor Class shares of your current Fund(s) for Investor Class shares of any other Fund (as well as other Funds advised by Rafferty not offered in this Prospectus) at the next determined NAV after receipt of your order in good form without any charges. The Funds can only honor exchanges between accounts registered in the same name and having the same address and taxpayer identification number. If your exchange establishes a new position in a Fund, you must exchange at least $1,000 or, if your account value is less than that, your entire account balance will be exchanged. You may exchange by telephone unless you declined telephone exchange privileges on your account application.
Redemption Proceeds. Redemption proceeds from any sale of shares will normally be sent within seven days from the time a Fund receives your request in good order. A redemption request will be considered in good order if: 1) the number or amount of shares and the class of shares to be redeemed and shareholder account number have been indicated; and 2) any written request is signed by a shareholder and by all co-owners of the account with exactly the same name or names used in establishing the account. For investments that have been made by check or ACH, payment on sales requests may be delayed until the Funds' transfer agent is reasonably satisfied that the purchase payment has been collected by a Fund, which may require up to 10 calendar days. Your proceeds will be sent via check, wire or electronic funds transfer through the ACH network using the address or bank account listed on the transfer agent’s records. You will be charged a wire transfer fee of $15.00, which will be deducted from your account balance on dollar specific redemption requests or from the proceeds on share specific requests. This fee is in addition to any fees that may be imposed by your bank. Your proceeds will be wired only to the bank listed on the transfer agent’s records. There is no charge for payment sent through the ACH network and proceeds are generally available within 2 to 3 days. Shareholders who have an IRA or other retirement plan must indicate on their written redemption request whether to withhold federal income tax. Redemption requests failing to indicate an election not to have tax withheld will generally be subject to 10% withholding. Each Fund also offers a Systematic Withdrawal Plan for shareholders who require periodic payments, such as those from IRAs. For more information on this option, please contact the Funds at (800) 851-0511.

Direxion Funds Prospectus

Each Fund typically expects to meet redemption requests by paying out available cash or proceeds from selling portfolio holdings, which may include cash equivalent portfolio holdings. In stressed market conditions and other appropriate circumstances, redemption methods may include borrowing funds or redeeming in kind. Each Fund may stop selling its shares and postpone redemption payments at times when the NYSE is closed or has restricted trading or the SEC has determined that an emergency condition exists.
Redemption In-Kind. Each Fund reserves the right to pay redemption proceeds to you in whole or in part by a distribution of securities from each Fund’s portfolio. It is not expected that the Funds would do so except in unusual circumstances. If a Fund pays your redemption proceeds by a distribution of securities, you could incur brokerage or other charges in converting the securities to cash and will bear any market risks associated with such securities until they are converted into cash.
Short-Term Trading. Each Fund anticipates that a significant portion of its assets will come from professional money managers and investors who use the Funds as part of their “asset allocation” and/or “market timing” investment strategies. These strategies often call for frequent trading to take advantage of anticipated changes in market conditions.
Frequent trading increases the rate of the Funds' portfolio turnover, which increases the overall expenses of managing the Funds, due to increased brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups/mark-downs and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities. In addition, frequent trading may dilute the value of Fund shares held by long-term shareholders and may interfere with the efficient management of the Funds' portfolios. Although each Fund reserves the right to reject any purchase orders or suspend the offering of Fund shares, each Fund does not currently impose any trading restrictions on Fund shareholders nor actively monitor for trading abuses. The Funds' Board of Trustees has approved the short-term trading policy of the Funds. The costs associated with the Funds' portfolio turnover will have a negative impact on longer-term investors as noted previously in the Prospectus.
Low Balance Accounts. If your total account balance falls below $10,000 due to withdrawals, then we may sell your shares of the Funds. We will inform you in writing 30 days prior to selling your shares. If you do not bring your total account balance up to $10,000 within 30 days, we may sell your shares and send you the proceeds. We will not sell your shares if your account value falls due to market fluctuations.
Electronic Delivery of Reports. Fund shareholders can save paper by electing to receive their account documents by e-mail in place of paper copies. You may choose electronic delivery (“E-Delivery”) for Prospectuses, supplements, Annual and Semi-Annual Reports. To enroll in E-Delivery you can opt-in when completing a direct account application with Direxion Funds. You can also register, cancel, change your e-mail address or change your consent options by logging onto www.direxion.com/edelivery.
Householding. In an effort to decrease costs, each Fund intends to reduce the number of duplicate prospectuses and Annual and Semi-Annual Reports 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. Once implemented, 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 a Fund receives notice to stop householding, we will begin sending individual copies thirty days after receiving your request. This policy does not apply to account statements.
Shareholder Inactivity. Under certain circumstances, if no activity occurs in an account within a time period specified by state law, your shares in a Fund may be transferred to that state.
Lost Shareholder. It is important that the Funds maintain a correct address for each investor. An incorrect address may cause an investor’s account statements and other mailings to be returned to the Funds. Based upon statutory requirements for returned mail, each Fund will attempt to locate the investor or rightful owner of the account. If a Fund is unable to locate the investor, then it will determine whether the investor’s account can legally be considered abandoned. Each Fund is legally obligated to escheat (or transfer) abandoned property to the appropriate state’s unclaimed property administrator in accordance with statutory requirements. The investor’s last known address of record determines which state has jurisdiction. Investors with a state of residence in Texas have the ability to designate a representative to receive legislatively required unclaimed property due diligence notifications. Please contact the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts for further information.
Management of the Funds

Rafferty has entered into an Operating Expense Limitation Agreement with each Fund. Under this Operating Expense Limitation Agreement, Rafferty has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse each Fund for Other Expenses through September 1, 2024, to the extent that a Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses exceed 1.35% of the Fund’s average daily net assets (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).
Any contractual expense waiver or reimbursement is subject to recoupment by the Adviser within three years after the expense was waived/reimbursed only if Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses fall below the lesser of this percentage limitation and any percentage limitation in place at the time the expense was waived/reimbursed. Rafferty may pay, reimburse or otherwise assume one or more of the excluded expenses, in which case such expense will be subject to the Operating Expense Limitation Agreement and recoupment by Rafferty in accordance with the Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated or revised at any time with the consent of the Board of Trustees.
Paul Brigandi and Tony Ng are jointly and primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds (the “Portfolio Managers”). An investment trading team of Rafferty employees assists the Portfolio Managers in the day-to-day management of the Funds subject to their primary responsibility and oversight. The Portfolio Managers work with the investment trading team to decide the target allocation of each Fund’s investments and on a day-to-day basis, an individual portfolio trader executes transactions for the Funds consistent with the target allocation. The members of the investment trading team rotate periodically among the various series of the Trust, including the Funds, so that no single individual is assigned to a specific Fund for extended periods of time.
Mr. Brigandi has been a Portfolio Manager at Rafferty since June 2004. Mr. Brigandi was previously involved in the equity trading training program for Fleet Boston Financial Corporation from August 2002 to April 2004. Mr. Brigandi is a 2002 graduate of Fordham University.
Mr. Ng has been a Portfolio Manager at Rafferty since April 2006. Mr. Ng was previously a Team Leader in the Trading Assistant Group with Goldman Sachs from 2004 to 2006. He was employed with Deutsche Asset Management from 1998 to 2004. Mr. Ng graduated from State University of New York at Buffalo in 1998.
The Funds' SAI provides additional information about the investment team members’ compensation, other accounts they manage and their ownership of securities in the Funds.

Distributions and Taxes
Distributions. Each Fund distributes dividends from its net investment income at least annually. Net investment income generally consists of interest income and dividends received on investments, less expenses.
Each Fund also distributes any realized net capital gains and net gains from foreign currency transactions, if any, at least annually. A Fund realizes capital gains mainly from sales of its portfolio assets for a profit.
Dividends and other distributions (collectively, “distributions”) will be reinvested in additional distributing Fund shares automatically at a Fund’s NAV per share unless you request otherwise in writing or via telephone at least five days prior to the record date of the distribution. Each Fund reserves the right, if you elect to receive distributions from the Fund by check and the U.S. Postal Service cannot deliver the check or the check remains uncashed for six months, to reinvest the amount of the check in your account, without interest, in additional Fund shares at the Fund’s then-current NAV per share and to reinvest all subsequent distributions in shares of the Fund until an updated address is received. The check will not be held separate from the shares in your account.
Due to the pattern of purchases and redemptions of the Funds, a Fund’s total net assets may fluctuate significantly over the course of a year. Because a Fund may declare and pay distributions at any time, an investor may receive a distribution, which may be taxable, shortly after making an investment in a Fund.
Taxes. Federal income tax consequences of a distribution will vary depending on whether the distribution is from net investment income, net foreign currency gains, or net capital gains and, in the latter case, how long a Fund has held the assets the sale of which generated the gains, not how long you held your Fund shares. Distributions of net gains on sales of assets held for one year or less, and distributions of certain foreign currency gains, are taxed as dividends (that is, ordinary income). Distributions of gains on sales of assets held longer than one year (long-term capital gains), and distributions of other foreign currency gains are taxed at lower capital gains rates.
The following table illustrates the potential tax consequences for taxable accounts (of individual shareholders):

income” (“QDI”) (see below)) distribution

Redemption or exchange of Fund shares
owned for more than one year
Long-term capital gain or loss
Redemption or exchange of Fund shares
owned for one year or less
Gain is taxed at the same rate as ordinary
income; loss is subject to special rules
*
Tax consequences for tax-deferred retirement accounts (such as 401(k) plan accounts and IRAs) or non-taxable shareholders will be different. You should consult your tax specialist for more information about your personal situation.
QDI consists of dividends a Fund receives from most U.S. corporations and “qualified foreign corporations,” provided that the Fund satisfies certain holding periods and other restrictions regarding the stock on which the dividends were paid. (Dividends received from other investment companies, including ETFs that are taxed as RICs will only qualify for QDI treatment to the extent that the other investment company reports the qualifying portion to its shareholders in writing.) A Fund’s dividends attributable to its QDI are taxed to individual shareholders at the long-term capital gains rates (see the next paragraph) for shareholders who satisfy those restrictions regarding their Fund shares. A portion of a Fund’s dividends (excluding dividends from foreign corporations) also may be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to corporations, subject to similar restrictions.
Net capital gain (i.e., the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss) an individual or certain other non-corporate shareholder realizes on a redemption or exchange of Fund shares, is subject to federal income tax at a maximum rate of 15% or 20% for those non-corporate shareholders with taxable income exceeding certain thresholds.
If you are a non-retirement account shareholder of a Fund, then each year we will send you a Form 1099 that tells you the amount of Fund distributions you received for the prior calendar year, the tax status of those distributions and a list of reportable redemption transactions, including, for redeemed shares that were acquired after December 31, 2011 (“Covered Shares”), basis information and whether they had a short-term (one year or less) or long-term (more than one year) holding period. Normally, distributions are taxable in the year you receive them. However, any distributions declared in the last three months of a calendar year and paid in January of the following year generally are taxable as if received on December 31 of the year they are declared.
If you are a taxable non-corporate shareholder of a Fund and do not provide the Fund with your correct taxpayer identification number (normally your social security number), the Fund is required to withhold and remit to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) 24% of all dividends and other distributions and redemption proceeds (regardless of whether you realize a gain
Direxion Funds Prospectus
76

or loss) otherwise payable to you. If you are such a shareholder and are otherwise subject to backup withholding, we also are required to withhold and remit to the IRS the same percentage of all dividends and other distributions otherwise payable to you. Any tax withheld may be applied against your tax liability when you file your tax return.
A shareholder’s basis in Covered Shares will be determined in accordance with the Funds' default method, which currently is average basis, unless the shareholder affirmatively elects in writing (which may be electronic) to use a different acceptable basis determination method, such as a specific identification method. The basis determination method a Fund shareholder elects may not be changed with respect to a redemption of Covered Shares after the settlement date of the redemption. Fund shareholders should consult with their tax advisors to determine the best IRS-accepted basis method for their tax situation and to obtain more information about how the basis reporting law applies to them.
An individual must pay a 3.8% federal tax on the lesser of (1) the individual’s “net investment income,” which generally includes dividends, interest, and net gains from the disposition of investment property (including dividends and capital gain distributions a Fund pays), or (2) the excess of the individual’s “modified adjusted gross income” over a threshold amount ($250,000 for married persons filing jointly and $200,000 for single taxpayers). This tax is in addition to any other taxes due on that income. A similar tax will apply for those years to estates and trusts. Shareholders should consult their own tax advisers regarding the effect, if any, this provision may have on their investment in Fund shares.
Additional Information
The Trust enters into contractual arrangements with various parties, which may include, among others, the Funds' investment adviser, custodian, and transfer agent, who provide services to the Funds. Shareholders are not parties to any such contractual arrangements and are not intended beneficiaries of those contractual arrangements, and those contractual arrangements are not intended to create in any shareholder any right to enforce them against the service providers or to seek any remedy under them against the service providers, either directly or on behalf of the Trust.
This Prospectus provides information concerning the Funds that you should consider in determining whether to purchase Fund shares. Neither this Prospectus nor the SAI is intended, or should be read, to be or give rise to an agreement or contract between the Trust or the Funds and any investor, or to give rise to any rights in any shareholder or other person other than any rights under federal or state law that may not be waived.

2

3
Excludes interest expense and extraordinary expense which is comprised of excise tax expense.
4
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, futures and swaps for the period.
5
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 the 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 by the investment adviser.
6
Net expenses include effects of any reimbursement or recoupment.
7
For periods less than one year, these ratios are annualized.
8
Portfolio turnover is not annualized and does not include effects of turnover of the swap or future contracts portfolio. Short-term securities with maturities less than or equal to 365 days are also excluded from portfolio turnover calculation.
9
Amount is less than $0.01 per share.
