Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholders,

This Annual Report for the Direxion Shares ETF Trust exchange-traded funds (the "ETFs") covers the period from November 1, 2022 to October 31, 2023 (the "Annual Period").

Market Review:

The Annual Period was filled with ups and downs in the equity markets as inflation, the banking crisis, artificial intelligence (AI), and the housing market were top of mind for many investors. In November and December of 2022, many broad-based indices fell. However, 2023 started out on a stronger note as equity markets rallied in January, but market sentiment in February was much more bearish on the heels of a higher-than-expected consumer price index* (CPI) reading. Despite that, for the first half of 2023, both the NASDAQ-100®​ Index* and S&P 500®​ Index* finished up 39.4% and 16.95%, respectively. The winning streak came to an end in August, as both indices posted their first monthly decline since February and continued to fall in September and October. China effectively ended their zero-Covid policy in December, causing Chinese and Chinese-adjacent equities to rally. In early March, three regional banks collapsed, one after another, beginning with Silicon Valley Bank, causing the financials segment of the S&P 500®​ Index to fall nearly 10% in March. Some fears in the banking sector, specifically smaller banks, bled into the following months. In May, NVIDIA Corporation delivered an outstanding earnings report centered around AI, and its market value rose more in one day than any stock in history. AI has come into focus as a market catalyst, and many AI-related names experienced higher trading volumes, although interest in the space slowed down towards the end of the Annual Period. By the end of the Annual Period, the housing market led headlines, as mortgage rates reached levels not seen since 2000, causing a reduction in housing prices in some locations. October marked the third consecutive month of falling median home prices. Aside from affecting market sentiment, equities in construction, real estate development, and other related industries were especially impacted. The Annual Period began and ended with recessionary fears and uncertainty surrounding the market environment, although inflation began to moderate.

All eyes were on the Federal Reserve during the Annual Period as they attempted to combat inflation and market volatility. As the Federal Reserve conducted a series of rate hikes, Treasury yields peaked in November, and started to go down in the latter half of November and December. In fact, bonds outperformed stocks in 2022, which is extremely rare, although both ended 2022 in the red. Aside from a few exceptions, short-term yields tended to be higher than long-term yields, which is atypical and causes an inverted yield curve. Inflation started to come down in January, and the Federal Reserve reduced the rate hike on February 1st to 25 basis points* from the 50 to 75 basis point hikes in 2022. Rate hikes paused in June and resumed in July at 25 basis points. In terms of inflation, the fixed income market rallied in January as headline CPI ticked down. However, the February CPI reading was higher-than-expected, prompting markets to anticipate further hawkish monetary policy. Although inflation has been sticky for much of the Annual Period, it is starting to come down and the Federal Reserve maintains the inflation target remains at 2%. The banking collapse also influenced the fixed income market, causing interest rate expectations to decrease and lending standards to tighten. In early August, U.S. long-term debt was downgraded by Fitch, moving Treasury yields higher. In both the September and October Federal Open Market Committee meetings, the Federal Reserve left rates unchanged, but made no mention of cutting rates. Additionally, in response to the growing federal deficit, the U.S. Treasury issued more bonds throughout the last few months of the Annual Period. Bond yields ended the Annual Period at multi-year highs.

Direxion Shares Operational Review:

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

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

used as short-term trading vehicles. These products are not suitable for all investors, and should be utilized only by sophisticated investors who understand the risks associated with shorting and/or the use of leverage, the consequences of seeking daily leveraged or inverse investment results and intend to actively monitor and manage their investments.

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

The Funds with the word "Bear" in their name (the "Bear ETFs"), attempt to provide investment results that correlate to -100% or -200%, before fees and expenses, of the daily performance of a benchmark index, meaning that the Bear Funds attempt to move in the opposite, or inverse, direction of their respective target benchmark index.

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

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

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

Because each ETF seeks daily investment results of its relevant benchmark, a comparison of the return of the ETF to the relevant benchmark tells you little about whether an ETF has met its investment objective. To determine if an ETF has met its daily investment goals, Rafferty maintains models which indicate the expected performance of each ETF as compared to the underlying relevant index. The models do not take into account the ETF's expense ratio or any transaction or trading fees associated with creating or maintaining an ETF's portfolio. Deviation from the model may be due to a combination of asset fluctuation, expenses, transaction costs, including swap contract related costs and underlying volatility.

Factors Affecting Direxion Shares Performance:

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

Leverage – Each 200% or -200% ETF seeks daily investment results (before fees and expenses) of either 200% (for the Bull ETFs) or -200% (for the 2X Bear ETFs) of the daily performance of its respective underlying index. The use of leverage magnifies an ETF's gains or losses and increases the investment's risk and volatility. The Bear ETFs seek to achieve inverse magnified correlation to their respective underlying indexes.

DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT

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

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

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

Equity Dividends and Bond Interest – Bull ETFs are positively impacted by equity and index dividends as the ETFs receive those payments. Bear ETFs are negatively impacted as they are obligated to pay the dividends.

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

Online travel and event booking; 10. Specialty travel and experiences (such as outer space passenger travel), and 11. Operation of theme parks. For the Annual Period, the BlueStar®​ Travel and Vacation Index returned 3.10%. Given the daily investment objectives of the ETF and the path dependency of returns for longer periods, the annual return of the

index alone should not generate expectations of annual performance of the ETF. The Direxion Daily Travel & Vacation Bull 2X Shares returned -5.27%, while the model indicated an expected return of 1.12%.

Index Volatility:

For equities, the Annual Period started off very volatile but stabilized slightly throughout the year. The VIX index, a measure of volatility and market sentiment, reached an Annual Period-high of 30.81 on March 13, 2023, but ended the period at 18.14 on October 31, 2023. For bonds, the Federal Reserve's rate hiking cycle has led to much higher-than-normal volatility across the fixed income market and was even higher than most stocks by the end of the Annual Period. Although stock and bond volatility are historically closely aligned, the Annual Period ended with a divergence between the two, causing confusion for some investors.

Leveraged and Inverse ETFs pursue daily leveraged investment objectives which means they are riskier than alternatives which do not use leverage. They seek daily goals and should not be expected to track the underlying index over periods longer than one day. They are not suitable for all investors and should be utilized only by sophisticated investors who understand leverage risk and who actively manage their investments.

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate. An investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Returns for performance under one year are cumulative, not annualized. For the most recent month-end performance please visit the Funds website at direxion.com.

Short-term performance, in particular, is not a good indication of the Fund's future performance, and an investment should not be made based solely on returns. Because of ongoing market volatility, Fund performance may be subject to substantial short-term changes. For additional information, see the Fund's prospectus.

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

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

Letter to Single Stock Shareholders

Dear Shareholders,

This Annual Report for the Direxion Shares ETF Trust exchange-traded funds (the "ETFs") covers the period from November 1, 2022 to October 31, 2023 (the "Annual Period").

Market Review:

The Annual Period was filled with ups and downs in the equity markets as inflation, the banking crisis, artificial intelligence (AI), and the housing market were top of mind for many investors. In November and December of 2022, many broad-based indices fell. However, 2023 started out on a stronger note as equity markets rallied in January, but market sentiment in February was much more bearish on the heels of a higher-than-expected consumer price index* (CPI) reading. Despite that, for the first half of 2023, both the NASDAQ-100®​ Index* and S&P 500®​ Index* finished up 39.4% and 16.95%, respectively. The winning streak came to an end in August, as both indices posted their first monthly decline since February and continued to fall in September and October. China effectively ended their zero-Covid policy in December, causing Chinese and Chinese-adjacent equities to rally. In early March, three regional banks collapsed, one after another, beginning with Silicon Valley Bank, causing the financials segment of the S&P 500®​ Index to fall nearly 10% in March. Some fears in the banking sector, specifically smaller banks, bled into the following months. In May, NVIDIA Corporation delivered an outstanding earnings report centered around AI, and its market value rose more in one day than any stock in history. AI has come into focus as a market catalyst, and many AI-related names experienced higher trading volumes, although interest in the space slowed down towards the end of the Annual Period. By the end of the Annual Period, the housing market led headlines, as mortgage rates reached levels not seen since 2000, causing a reduction in housing prices in some locations. October marked the third consecutive month of falling median home prices. Aside from affecting market sentiment, equities in construction, real estate development, and other related industries were especially impacted. The Annual Period began and ended with recessionary fears and uncertainty surrounding the market environment, although inflation began to moderate.

All eyes were on the Federal Reserve during the Annual Period as they attempted to combat inflation and market volatility. As the Federal Reserve conducted a series of rate hikes, Treasury yields peaked in November, and started to go down in the latter half of November and December. In fact, bonds outperformed stocks in 2022, which is extremely rare, although both ended 2022 in the red. Aside from a few exceptions, short-term yields tended to be higher than long-term yields, which is atypical and causes an inverted yield curve. Inflation started to come down in January, and the Federal Reserve reduced the rate hike on February 1st to 25 basis points* from the 50 or 75 basis point hikes in 2022. Rate hikes paused in June and resumed in July at 25 basis points. In terms of inflation, the fixed income market rallied in January as headline CPI ticked down. However, the February CPI reading was higher-than-expected, prompting markets to anticipate further hawkish monetary policy. Although inflation has been sticky for much of the Annual Period, it is starting to come down and the Federal Reserve maintains the inflation target remains at 2%. The banking collapse also influenced the fixed income market, causing interest rate expectations to decrease and lending standards to tighten. In early August, U.S. long-term debt was downgraded by Fitch, moving Treasury yields higher. In both the September and October Federal Open Market Committee meetings, the Federal Reserve left rates unchanged, but made no mention of cutting rates. Additionally, in response to the growing federal deficit, the U.S. Treasury issued more bonds throughout the last few months of the Annual Period. Bond yields ended the Annual Period at multi-year highs.

Direxion Shares Operational Review:

The discussion below relates to the performance of the ETFs for the Annual Period. The ETFs are leveraged or inverse and seek daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 150% or -100% (opposite or inverse) of the performance of a particular security. All ETF returns are NAV (net asset value) returns.

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

DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT
12


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

The ETFs with the word "Bull" in their name (the "Bull ETFs"), attempt to provide investment results that correlate to 150%, before fees and expenses, of the daily performance of an underlying security, meaning the Bull Funds attempt to move in the same direction as their respective target underlying security.

The Funds with the word "Bear" in their name (the "Bear ETFs"), attempt to provide investment results that correlate to -100%, before fees and expenses, of the daily performance of an underlying security, meaning that the Bear Funds attempt to move in the opposite, or inverse, direction of their respective target underlying security.

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

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

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

Because each ETF seeks daily investment results of a particular underlying security, a comparison of the return of the ETF to the relevant common shares tells you little about whether an ETF has met its investment objective. To determine if an ETF has met its daily investment goals, Rafferty maintains models which indicate the expected performance of each ETF as compared to the respective underlying security. The models do not take into account the ETF's expense ratio or any transaction or trading fees associated with creating or maintaining an ETF's portfolio. Deviation from the model may be due to a combination of asset fluctuation, expenses, transaction costs, including swap contract related costs and underlying volatility.

Factors Affecting the ETFs Performance:

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

Leverage – Each Bull ETF seeks daily investment results (before fees and expenses) of 150% of the performance of its respective underlying security. The use of leverage magnifies an ETF's gains or losses and increases the investment's risk and volatility.

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

DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT
13


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

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

Equity Dividends and Bond Interest – Bull ETFs are positively impacted by equity and common shares dividends as the ETFs receive those payments. Bear ETFs are negatively impacted as they are obligated to pay the dividends.

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

Direxion Shares Performance Review:

The Direxion Daily AAPL Bull 1.5X Shares and the Direxion Daily AAPL Bear 1X Shares seek to provide 150% or -100%, respectively, of the daily return of the common shares of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL). Apple Inc. designs, manufactures, and markets smartphones, personal computers, tablets, wearables, and accessories worldwide. It also sells various related services. For the Annual Period, the common shares of Apple Inc. returned 12.03%. Given the daily investment objectives of the ETFs and the path dependency of returns for longer periods, the annual return of the common shares alone should not generate expectations of annual performance of the ETFs. The Direxion Daily AAPL Bull 1.5X Shares returned 8.95%, while the model indicated an expected return of 15.85%. The Direxion Daily AAPL Bear 1X Shares returned -9.96%, while the model indicated an expected return of -16.18%.

(NASDAQ: GOOGL). Alphabet Inc. provides online advertising services in the United States, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Asia-Pacific, Canada, and Latin America. For the Annual Period, the common shares of Alphabet Inc. returned 31.29%. Given the daily investment objectives of the ETFs and the path dependency of returns for longer periods, the annual return of the common shares alone should not generate expectations of annual performance of the ETFs. The Direxion Daily GOOGL Bull 1.5X Shares returned 35.52% while the model indicated an expected return of 44.32%. The Direxion Daily GOOGL Bear 1X Shares returned -26.57%, while the model indicated an expected return of -31.81%.

NVIDIA Corporation operates as a visual computing company worldwide. It operates in two segments, graphics and compute and networking. From September 13, 2023 (the inception date of the Funds) through October 31, 2023, the common shares of NVIDIA Corporation returned -10.34%. Given the daily investment objectives of the ETFs and the path dependency of returns for longer periods, the annual return of the common shares alone should not generate expectations of annual performance of the ETFs. The Direxion Daily NVDA Bull 1.5X Shares returned -14.76%, while the model indicated an expected return of -13.96%. The Direxion Daily NVDA Bear 1X Shares returned 9.12%, while the model indicated an expected return of 8.06%.

Investing in the funds involves a high degree of risk. Unlike traditional ETFs, or even other leveraged and/or inverse ETFs, these leveraged and/or inverse single-stock ETFs track the price of a single stock rather than an index, eliminating the benefits of diversification. Leveraged and inverse ETFs pursue daily leveraged investment objectives, which means they are riskier than alternatives which do not use leverage. They seek daily goals and should not be expected to track the underlying stock's performance over periods longer than one day. They are not suitable for all investors and should be utilized only by investors who understand leverage risk and who actively manage their investments. The Funds will lose money if the underlying stock's performance is flat, and it is possible that the Bull Fund will lose money even if the underlying stock's performance increases, and the Bear Fund will lose money even if the underlying stock's performance decreases, over a period longer than a single day. An investor could lose the full principal value of his or her investment in a single day.

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

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

The S&P 500®​ Index is a capitalization-weighted index composed of 500 domestic common stocks. Most of the common stocks in the S&P 500®​ Index are issued by the 500 largest companies, in terms of the aggregate market value of their outstanding stock, and are generally listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The performance of the S&P 500®​ Index does not reflect the deduction of fees associated with the Fund, such as investment management fees. Investors cannot invest directly in an index, although they can invest in its underlying securities.

Market Exposure

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

A fund that meets its daily target over a period of time will not necessarily produce the returns that might be expected in light of the returns of its index or benchmark for that period. Differences may result from the compounding effect of market fluctuation and the use of leverage. The pursuit of daily goals may result in daily, leveraged compounding, which means that the return of an index over a period of time greater than one day multiplied by a fund's specified multiple (150%) will not generally equal a fund's performance over that same period.

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

The Fund seeks daily inverse investment results, before fees and expenses, of 150% of the performance of the common shares of Microsoft Corp. stock (NASDAQ: MSFT).

Market Exposure

The Fund seeks daily exposure of 150% of its NAV through a combination of equities and derivatives. "Market Exposure" includes the value of total investments (including the contract value of any derivatives) and excludes any short-term investments and cash equivalents divided by Net Assets.

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

Rafferty Asset Management, LLC has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse the Fund for other expenses through September 1, 2024 to the extent the Total Annual Operating Expenses exceed 0.95% (excluding, as applicable, among other expenses, taxes, swap financing and related costs, acquired fund fees and expenses, dividends or interest on short positions, other interest expenses, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses).

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

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

The performance data quoted represents past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results; the investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate; an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost; current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Returns for performance under one year are cumulative, not annualized. As stated in the current prospectus, the Fund's total annual operating expense ratio (gross) is 1.41%. Rafferty Asset Management, LLC has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse the Fund for other expenses through September 1, 2024 to the extent the Total Annual Operating Expenses exceed 0.95% (excluding, as applicable, among other expenses, taxes, swap financing and related costs, acquired fund fees and expenses, dividends or interest on short positions, other interest expenses, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses). The performance table and graph do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. For the Fund's most recent month end performance please visit www.direxion.com.

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

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

The Indxx Global Robotics & Artificial Intelligence Thematic Index is designed to provide exposure to exchange-listed companies in developed markets that are expected to benefit from the adoption and utilization of robotics and/or artificial intelligence, including companies involved in developing industrial robots and production systems, automated inventory management, unmanned vehicles, voice/image/text recognition, and medical robots or robotic instruments (collectively, "Robotics & Artificial Intelligence Companies"), as defined by Indxx, the Index Provider. Investors cannot invest directly in an index, although they can invest in its underlying securities.

Market Exposure

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

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

Expense Example (Unaudited)

October 31, 2023

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

The example is based on initial investments of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held the entire period (May 1, 2023 to October 31, 2023).

Actual expenses

The first line under each Fund in the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for your Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period May 1, 2023 to October 31, 2023" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

7  Portfolio turnover rate is not annualized and excludes the value of portfolio securities received or delivered as a result of in-kind creations or redemptions of the Fund's capital shares. Portfolio turnover rate does not include effects of turnover of the swap and future contracts portfolio. Short-term securities with maturities less than or equal to 365 days are also excluded from portfolio turnover calculation.

8  Commencement of operations.

9  This ratio includes the voluntary waiver of expenses by the Adviser. Excluding the voluntary waiver, the net expense ratio would have been 0.60%.

10  Between $(0.005) and $0.005.

11  Effective February 13, 2023, the Fund had a 1:10 reverse stock split. Share amounts for all periods have been adjusted to give effect to the 1:10 stock split.

12  Effective June 5, 2023, the Fund had a 1:10 reverse stock split. Share amounts for all periods have been adjusted to give effect to the 1:10 stock split.

Each Fund's investment objective is to seek daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the performance of a particular index or benchmark. The Funds with the word "Bull" in their name attempt to provide investment results that correlate positively to the return of an index or benchmark. The Funds with the word "Bear" in their name attempt to provide investment results that correlate negatively to the return of an index or benchmark. The correlations sought by the Bull Funds are a multiple of 150% or 200% of the return of the target index or benchmark and a multiple of -100% or -200% of the return of the target index or benchmark for the Bear Funds.

2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

a) Investment Valuation – The Net Asset Value ("NAV") per share of each Fund is determined daily, as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") (normally at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time ("Valuation Time")), each day the NYSE is open for business. A security listed or traded on an exchange, domestic or foreign, is valued at its last sales price on the principal exchange on which it is traded prior to the time when assets are valued. If no sale is reported at that time, the mean of the last bid and asked prices is used. Securities primarily traded on the NASDAQ®​ Global Market

DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT
133


("NASDAQ") for which market quotations are readily available are valued using the NASDAQ®​ Official Closing Price ("NOCP") provided by NASDAQ each business day. Over-the-counter ("OTC") securities held by a Fund are valued at the last sales price or, if no sales price is reported, the mean of the last bid and asked price is used. The portfolio securities of a Fund that are listed on national exchanges are valued at the last sales price of such securities or; if no sales price is reported, the mean of the last bid and asked price is used. Swap contracts are valued using the closing price of the underlying reference entity or the closing value of the underlying reference index. The Funds valued their investments in money market funds based on their daily net asset values. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established on the exchange on which they are traded, if that settlement price reflects trading prior to the Valuation Time. If the settlement price established by the exchange reflects trading after the Valuation Time, then the last sales price prior to Valuation Time will be used. Securities, swap or futures contracts are fair valued as determined by the Adviser under the supervision of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") in the following scenarios: a) reliable market quotations are not readily available; b) the Fund's pricing service does not provide a valuation for such securities; c) the Fund's pricing service provides a valuation that in the judgment of the Adviser does not represent fair value; or d) the Fund or Adviser believes the market price is stale.

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

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

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

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

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

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

For financial reporting purposes, the Funds elect to not offset assets and liabilities subject to an ISDA Master Agreement, if any, in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Therefore, all qualifying transactions are presented on a gross basis in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As of October 31, 2023, the impact of netting of assets and liabilities and the offsetting of collateral pledged or received based on contractual netting/set-off provisions in the ISDA Master Agreement are detailed in the following tables.

In the event of the counterparty's default, bankruptcy or any other event for which the counterparty cannot meet its obligations, a Fund bears the risk of loss equal to the amount of the daily appreciation owed to the Fund. This obligation represents the daily gain accrued to the Fund from the close of business day prior to this event to the day on which this event occurs and the counterparty can no longer meet its obligations. A Fund will enter into swap agreements only with large, well-capitalized and established financial institutions. The creditworthiness of each of the firms that is a party to a swap agreement is monitored by the Adviser. Shareholders may obtain swap counterparty financial statements at www.sec.gov. Swap contracts are subject to credit risk. Credit risk occurs when the financial condition of an issuer of a security or instrument may cause it to default or become unable to pay interest or principal due on the security. The counterparty to a swap contract might default on its obligations. In addition, the Funds have agreements with certain counterparties with which it trades swap contracts that contain credit risk-related contingent features that could be triggered subject to certain circumstances. Such circumstances include agreed upon net asset value and performance-based thresholds. The maximum exposure to the Funds in regard to potential counterparty default and credit-risk related contingent features at October 31, 2023 is detailed in the following tables. If such credit risk-related contingencies were triggered, the counterparties would have the option to terminate any positions open under the master netting agreement.

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

d) Risks of Futures Contracts, Options on Futures Contracts and Short Positions – The risks inherent in the use of options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts and short positions include 1) adverse changes in the fair value of such instruments; 2) imperfect correlation between the price of options and futures contracts and options thereon and movements in the price of the underlying securities, index or futures contracts; 3) the possible absence of a liquid secondary market for any particular instrument at any time; 4) the possible need to defer closing out certain positions to avoid adverse tax consequences; and 5) the possible non-performance by the counterparty under the terms of the contract. The Funds designate cash, cash equivalents and liquid securities as collateral for written options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts and short positions. The Funds were not invested in any type of futures or options contracts during the period ended October 31, 2023.

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

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

g) Securities Lending – Each Fund may lend up to 33 1/3% of the value of the securities in their portfolios to approved brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Fund collateral consisting of cash, cash equivalents, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government. The collateral received by each Fund is required to have a value of at least 102% of the current value of the loaned securities. During the term of the loan, each Fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities but does not receive interest income on securities received as collateral. Each Fund receives compensation for lending its securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash, cash equivalents or U.S. Government securities held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to borrower and net of fees paid to the lending agent. The amount of fees depends on a number of factors including the security type and the length of the loan. In addition, a Fund will receive a fee from the borrower for non-cash collateral equal to a percentage of the market value of the loaned securities. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions. No more than 99% of the value of any security may be on loan at any time.

As of October 31, 2023, all securities on loan were collateralized by cash and/or U.S. government obligations. The cash received as collateral for securities on loan was invested in money market funds, whose maturities are overnight and continuous, and is disclosed in the Schedules of Investments. The securities on loan in each Fund are also disclosed in the Schedule of Investments. The total value of securities loaned and the value of the invested cash collateral are disclosed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Non-cash collateral consists of U.S. Treasury securities and is not disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as its held by the lending agent on behalf of the Funds, and the Funds do not have the

DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT

ability to sell, reinvest or pledge those securities. Income earned by the Funds from securities lending is disclosed in the Statements of Operations.

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

As of October 31, 2023, the market value of the securities loaned and the related cash and non-cash collateral received for securities lending were as follows:

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

The Funds may be subject to a nondeductible 4% U.S. excise tax calculated as a percentage of certain undistributed amounts of net investment income and net capital gains. Certain Funds paid this excise tax during the period ended October 31, 2023, which is disclosed on the Statements of Operations.

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

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

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

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

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

3.  INCOME TAX AND DISTRIBUTION INFORMATION

The tax character of distributions paid during the periods ended October 31, 2023 and October 31, 2022 are presented in the following table. The tax character of distributions to shareholders made during the period may differ from their ultimate characterization for U.S. Federal income tax purposes.

GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the year ended October 31, 2023, the permanent differences primarily relate to tax treatment of redemptions in-kind, non-deductible offering costs, net operating losses and the utilization of earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares.

In order to meet certain U.S. excise tax distribution requirements, each Fund is required to measure and distribute annually net capital gains realized during a twelve month period ending October 31 and net investment income earned during a twelve month period ending December 31. In connection with this, these Funds are permitted for tax purposes to defer into their next fiscal year qualified late year losses. Qualified late year ordinary losses are generally losses incurred between January 1 and the end of their fiscal year, October 31, 2023.

At October 31, 2023, Direxion Daily Cloud Computing Bull 2X Shares deferred, on a tax basis, qualified late year losses of $13,272.

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

At October 31, 2023, for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, the following Funds had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future capital gains:

The Funds follow authoritative financial reporting rules regarding recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Management has reviewed all open tax years and concluded that there is no effect to the Funds' financial positions or results of operations and no tax liability was required to be recorded resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During this period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. Open tax years are those years that are open for examination by the relevant income taxing authority. As of October 3, 2023, open U.S. Federal and state income tax years include the tax years ended October 31, 2020 through October 31, 2023. The Funds have no examinations in progress. The Funds are also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax expense will significantly change in the next twelve months.

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

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

DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT
154


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

7.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

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

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

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds' investments at October 31, 2023:

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

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

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

There were no Level 3 securities held by the Funds or any transfers between levels during the period ended October 31, 2023.

8.  VALUATION OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Funds follow authoritative standards of accounting for derivative instruments, which establish disclosure requirements for derivative instruments. These standards improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by requiring enhanced

9.  PRINCIPAL RISKS

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

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

Daily Index Correlation/Tracking Risk – A number of factors may affect a Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with its benchmark, and there can be no guarantee that a Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation. A failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent a Fund from achieving its investment objective. A number of factors may adversely affect a Fund's correlation with its benchmark, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, costs

DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT

associated with the use of leveraged investment techniques, income items, accounting standards, and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests. A Fund may not have investment exposure to all securities in its underlying benchmark index, or its weighting of investment exposure to such stocks or industries may be different from that of the index. In addition, a Fund may invest in securities or financial instruments not included in the index underlying its benchmark. A Fund may be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or under-exposed to its benchmark. Activities surrounding annual index reconstitutions and other index rebalancing or reconstitution events may hinder the Funds' ability to meet their daily investment objective on that day. Each Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio daily to keep leverage consistent with its daily investment objective.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT
160


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

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

Basis for Opinion

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

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

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others; when replies were not received from brokers and others, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

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

The Funds are designating as long-term capital gain dividends, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 852(b)(3), the amount necessary to reduce the earnings and profits of the Funds related to net capital gain to zero for the tax year ended October 31, 2023. To the extent necessary to fully distribute such capital gain, the Funds also designate earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on the redemption of shares.

Householding

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

Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)

Consistent with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Direxion Shares ETF Trust (the "ETF Trust") annually considers the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement") between Rafferty Asset Management, LLC (the "Adviser") and the ETF Trust, on behalf of the Direxion Daily S&P 500®​ Bear 1X Shares, Direxion Daily AAPL Bear 1X Shares, Direxion Daily AMZN Bear 1X Shares, Direxion Daily GOOGL Bear 1X Shares, Direxion Daily MSFT Bear 1X Shares, Direxion Daily TSLA Bear 1X Shares, Direxion Daily AAPL Bull 1.5X Shares, Direxion Daily AMZN Bull 1.5X Shares, Direxion Daily GOOGL Bull 1.5X Shares, Direxion Daily MSFT Bull 1.5X Shares, Direxion Daily TSLA Bull 1.5X Shares, Direxion Daily CSI 300 China A Share Bull 2X Shares, Direxion Daily CSI China Internet Index Bull 2X Shares, Direxion Daily S&P 500®​ Bull 2X Shares, Direxion Daily MSCI Brazil Bull 2X Shares, Direxion Daily MSCI India Bull 2X Shares, Direxion Daily Cloud Computing Bull 2X Shares, Direxion Daily Electric and Autonomous Vehicles Bull 2X Shares, Direxion Daily Energy Bull 2X Shares, Direxion Daily Energy Bear 2X Shares, Direxion Daily Global Clean Energy Bull 2X Shares, Direxion Daily Gold Miners Index Bull 2X Shares, Direxion Daily Gold Miners Index Bear 2X Shares, Direxion Daily Junior Gold Miners Index Bull 2X Shares, Direxion Daily Junior Gold Miners Index Bear 2X Shares, Direxion Daily Robotics, Artificial Intelligence & Automation Index Bull 2X Shares, Direxion Daily S&P Oil & Gas Exp. & Prod. Bull 2X Shares, Direxion Daily S&P Oil & Gas Exp. & Prod. Bear 2X Shares, Direxion Daily NYSE FANG+ Bull 2X Shares, and the Direxion Daily Travel & Vacation Bull 2X Shares, each a series of the ETF Trust. The Agreement is initially approved for each series for a two-year period and must be renewed yearly thereafter to remain in effect. Each series of the ETF Trust is referred to herein as a "Fund" and collectively as the "Funds."

At a meeting held on August 24, 2023, the Board, including the trustees who are not "interested persons" of the ETF Trust as defined in the 1940 Act (the "Independent Trustees"), unanimously approved the renewal of the Agreement, on behalf of the Funds. The Independent Trustees had previously considered information pertaining to the renewal of the Agreement outside the presence of the Adviser's representatives and Fund management in executive sessions held on August 10, 2023 and August 24, 2023, and at their meeting on May 17, 2023. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined that the terms of the Agreement for each Fund were fair and reasonable and in the best interests of each Fund's shareholders.

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

•  Information regarding the advisory services provided by the Adviser to the Funds;

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

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

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

•  Information regarding the various components of the contractual advisory fee rates for the prior fiscal year;

•  Information regarding advisory fees earned and waivers made by the Adviser in connection with providing services to the Funds for the prior fiscal year or since inception, if shorter, including assessments by an independent consultant ("Consultant") of economies of scale;

•  Information regarding the services provided by and the fees paid to the Adviser under the Management Services Agreement for the prior fiscal year as separate and distinct from the fees paid and the services provided under the Agreement;

•  Fund performance information, including in terms of tracking error relative to the underlying index on a statistical and model basis;

•  Comparative industry fee data, including peer group comparisons;

•  Information regarding the costs investors would incur if they sought to implement independently the Funds' strategies within their personal portfolios;

•  The Adviser's Form ADV;

DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT
167


Direxion Shares ETF Trust

Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)

•  Information regarding the consolidated financial condition and profitability of the Adviser, including assessments by the Consultant of the appropriateness of the Adviser's methodology for calculating profitability and presenting profitability metrics, and considerations related to the evaluation of industry profit margins; and

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

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

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

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

The Board focused on the quality of the Adviser's personnel, operations, systems and processes required to manage the Funds effectively, noting that such personnel, systems and processes have been consistently enhanced over time and may not be present at other investment advisers. The Board considered, as applicable: (1) the Adviser's success in achieving each Fund's daily leveraged investment objective or daily inverse leveraged investment objective; (2) differences between managing leveraged and non-leveraged portfolios, which include developing index optimization, representative sampling and tax-conscious investment strategies as well as specialized skills for trading complex financial instruments; (3) information regarding the Adviser's management of derivatives trading activities on behalf of the Funds, including the selection of swap counterparties and the negotiation of favorable swap contract terms; (4) the Adviser's ability to manage the Funds in a tax efficient manner, which is more challenging for leveraged than non-leveraged funds; (5) the Adviser's adherence to its and the Funds' compliance policies and procedures; and (6) the size, professional experience and skills of the Adviser's portfolio management staff and the Adviser's ability to recruit, train, and retain personnel with the relevant experience and expertise necessary to manage the Funds. The Board considered that the Adviser oversees all aspects of the operation of the Funds.

Comparison of Advisory Services and Fees. The Board considered the fairness and reasonableness of the investment advisory fee rate payable to the Adviser by each Fund in light of the investment advisory services provided by the Adviser. In this regard, the Board also considered the ability of investors to achieve independently the investment objective of the Funds and the costs to investors of seeking to do so by utilizing a margin account or other means. In this regard, the Board reviewed information provided by the Adviser comparing the cost of ownership for shareholders to replicate the Funds' leveraged or inverse investment strategies by other means. The Board noted that in past years the Consultant had reviewed

DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT
168


Direxion Shares ETF Trust

Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)

the cost comparison information and determined the methodology used to be comprehensive and to constitute a sound and objective approach to conducting the cost comparison analysis. The Board concluded that it would be time- and resource-intensive for an investor to implement independently any Fund's investment strategy. The Board also concluded that doing so would likely be cost-prohibitive. From this perspective, the Board noted the cost effectiveness for investors of employing the Funds to seek to achieve their stated investment objectives.

The Board further considered the fairness and reasonableness of the investment advisory fee rate payable to the Adviser by each Fund in light of fee rates paid by other investment companies offering strategies similar in nature to the Fund. In this regard, the Board reviewed information prepared by the Adviser, using data provided by Morningstar, Inc., to compare the Funds' actual advisory fee rates, and gross and net total expense ratios with those of other funds with common key characteristics, such as asset size, investment objective and, if applicable, industry focus ("Peer Group"). The Board noted the difficulty in compiling a broad and diverse Peer Group because, by design, each Fund is unique and, therefore, few (if any) fund complexes have funds with substantially similar investment objectives and operations. They noted that in past years the Consultant had reviewed the Adviser's peer selection methodology and each Fund's resulting peers and determined that the methodology was reasonable, well-documented, transparent, repeatable and well within industry standards.

The Board noted that the comparison reports included the contractual advisory fee rate and the net and gross total expense ratios for each Fund and each fund in its Peer Group. The Board considered that the Adviser had agreed to limit the total expenses of the Funds (subject to certain exclusions) for the next year by contractually agreeing to pay certain expenses of the Funds under a separate Operating Expense Limitation Agreement. Additionally, the Board considered that the Adviser had agreed to breakpoints in its investment advisory fee rate schedule at various average annual net asset levels for certain Funds under the Advisory Fee Waiver Agreement..

Performance of the Funds. The Board focused on the correlation of each Fund's return to the model performance return for the periods ending June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 or since inception if a Fund did not have two full years of operations. In this regard, the Board considered each Fund's returns versus a model return ("Tracking Difference"), the standard deviation of daily Tracking Differences ("Tracking Error"), and a tracking analysis provided by the Adviser. The Board also reviewed the total return of each Fund for the one-year period or, if shorter, the since inception period ended June 30, 2023. The Board considered reports provided to it in anticipation of the August 10 executive session and the August 24 meeting, as well as performance reports provided at regular Board meetings throughout the year. The Board noted that the correlation of returns for each Fund to its model performance was generally within expected ranges during the reviewed periods, particularly in light of increased interest rates, which contributed to larger Tracking Differences. The Board considered that, given the investment objectives of the Funds, the correlation of each such Fund's performance with the model performance and/or Tracking Error may be regarded as more meaningful indicia of the quality of the Adviser's management services than a Fund's total return, but observed that certain Funds' total returns were high, including where not highly correlated with the model return.

Costs of Services Provided to the Funds and Profits Realized by the Adviser. The Board reviewed information regarding the profitability of the Adviser based on the fee rates payable under the Agreement. The Board considered the profitability of each Fund to the Adviser and the overall profitability of the Adviser, as reflected in the Adviser's profitability analysis, as well as information provided by the Adviser concerning the methodology used to allocate various expenses. The Board also considered significant drivers of cost for the Adviser including, but not limited to, intellectual capital, the dedication of personnel resources to daily portfolio management activities, such as creation and redemption activity and the daily rebalancing of the portfolio to seek to maintain each Fund's daily investment objective, regulatory compliance, and entrepreneurial risk. The Board reviewed a report provided by the Adviser on other investment advisers' profitability, which was compiled using publicly available information and considered information provided by the Consultant regarding the profitability of closely held advisers. The Board recognized that it is difficult to compare the Adviser's profitability to the profitability of publicly reporting investment advisory firms for several reasons. For example, to the extent such information is even available, it is often affected by numerous factors, including the nature of a firm's fund shareholder base, the structure of the adviser and its tax status, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, assumptions regarding allocations and the reporting of operating profits and net income net (rather than gross) of distribution and marketing expenses. Further, the Board observed that the assets under management in the Funds may be more volatile and the Adviser's annual profitability may be more variable than other advisers' profitability in light of the tactical nature of the strategies pursued by most of the Funds. The Board also noted that the Consultant had reviewed the profitability information provided by the Adviser

Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)

and concluded that the Adviser's methodology for assessing and presenting its profitability annually is transparent, consistent year to year, and that the materials requested by and provided to the Board were extensive, thoughtful and robust, providing a reasonable basis for the Board's deliberations.

Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the Adviser's fee schedule for each Fund and noted the breakpoints included in the Advisory Fee Waiver Agreement, which result in reduced advisory fee rates for most of the Funds in the ETF Trust when such a Fund's average annual net assets reach certain levels. The Board also considered the Adviser's explanation as to why these breakpoints appropriately reflect the Funds' economies of scale. In considering the asset levels of the Funds that have no breakpoints in the Advisory Fee Waiver Agreement with the Adviser, the Board considered the size of these Funds. Overall, the Board acknowledged that the assets under management in the Funds often increase and decrease significantly and suddenly, making stable economies of scale elusive. Referencing the report provided by the Consultant that examined the Adviser's approach to sharing economies of scale with the Funds, the Board noted that breakpoints are not ubiquitous in the fund industry, particularly among exchange-traded funds, and that many funds (including exchange-traded funds) that do have breakpoints in their advisory fee schedules do not achieve sufficient asset levels for the breakpoints to actually reduce the advisory fees charged.

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

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

New Fund Investment Advisory Agreement Approval

Provided below is a summary of certain of the factors the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Direxion Shares ETF Trust (the "Trust"), including the trustees who are not "interested persons" as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, (the "Independent Trustees"), considered in approving the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement") between Rafferty Asset Management, LLC (the "Adviser") and the Trust, on behalf of the Direxion Daily NVDA Bear 1X Shares at the May 18, 2022 meeting and the Direxion Daily NVDA Bull 1.5X Shares at the August 24, 2023 meeting, each a series of the Trust. Each series of the Trust listed above is referred to herein as a "Fund" and collectively as the "Funds." The Board, including the trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 Act, as amended (the "Independent Trustees"), unanimously approved the Agreement on behalf of the Funds. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined that the terms of the Agreement for the Funds were fair and reasonable and in the best interests of shareholders.

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

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

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

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

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether economies of scale may be realized by the New Funds as they grow larger and the extent to which any such economies are reflected in contractual fee rates. The Board observed that the New Funds would be subject to the Advisory Fee Waiver Agreement, which could result in breakpoints being applied to their

171

advisory fee rate schedule at certain asset levels. Noting, however, that the New Funds had not yet commenced operations and did not yet have any assets, the Board concluded that economies of scale were not a material factor for the Board to consider in approving the agreement.

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

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

Direxion Shares ETF Trust

Board Review of Liquidity Risk Management Program (Unaudited)

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

At its November 17, 2023 meeting, the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Trust reviewed the Liquidity Program. The Board has appointed Rafferty Asset Management, LLC, the investment advisor to the Funds, as the Liquidity Program administrator. At the meeting, Rafferty Asset Management, LLC provided the Board with a written report that addressed the operation of the Funds' Liquidity Program and assessed the adequacy and effectiveness of the implementation of the Liquidity Program (the "Report"). The Report covered the period from November 1, 2022 through October 31, 2023 (the "Report Period"). The Report noted the following:

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

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

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

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

•  The Liquidity Program operated adequately during the report period.

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

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