Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholders,

This Annual Report for the Direxion Shares exchange-traded funds (the "ETFs") covers the period from November 1, 2021 to October 31, 2022 (the "Annual Period").

Market Review:

Signs of broad-based inflation began in the fall of 2021, leading to a shaky global equity market environment. At the time, most experts predicted inflation levels were transitory, quelling investor concerns temporarily. Equity markets began to pick up through December, ending the year on a high. However, it soon became clear the widespread inflation was not going anywhere and the Federal Reserve announced an acceleration of monetary policy that was implemented through a series of interest rate hikes to combat inflation. Simultaneously, the highly contagious Covid-19 Omicron variant spread across the world and, despite high vaccination rates, breakthrough infections were at an all-time high. However, by the end of the Annual Period, Covid was far less of a concern for investors. Just as markets were looking up again, with the S&P 500 posting its first monthly gain in March 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, and the effects of the invasion rippled across equity markets, as energy prices surged and fears of wider-spread conflict grew. In response, the United States and other western nations imposed extreme economic sanctions on Russia. Markets were very volatile on the heels of the Russian invasion, and the first two quarters of 2022 saw a shrinking U.S. GDP. June earnings reports were surprisingly strong, despite a mid-month S&P low. Despite these numbers, July was a strong month, but this positive sentiment did not last long. A hawkish speech from Federal Reserve Chair, Jerome Powell, in August negatively impacted markets around the world. September was another rough month for equities, with both the S&P 500 and NASDAQ dropping roughly 10%. Global markets fared no better, as the UK entered a recession, and China faced mass protests and unrest. October saw a modest increase in stocks as the Federal Reserve indicated it will pull back on its aggressive tightening in the near future after positive third quarter readings, but overall sentiment was still generally low. Investors are pivoting towards more risk-off investments in an attempt to navigate historic inflation levels, geopolitical conflict and high interest rates, although traditional safe haven investments, such as commodities, are less appealing than they have been in the past.

The U.S. bond market was in consistent decline for the majority of the Annual Period, oftentimes diverging from trends in the equities markets. In the fall, treasuries and international bonds were experiencing the worst performance of the Annual Period, as concerns over rising interest rates and inflation began. As inflation worsened and proved to be less transitory than initially predicted, central banks around the world pivoted towards more hawkish policies. In December, the Federal Reserve announced there would be three or four rate hikes throughout 2022, as well as a tapering of U.S. treasury asset purchases. In late February, the Russian invasion of Ukraine rippled through the global financial system, including fixed income markets. The U.S. Treasury yield curve started to flatten as the 10-20 year bond spread grew and became inverted. While bonds have typically been considered a way to hedge a portfolio against equities, this strategy has not typically held true in the current market environment. After the positive indication that the Federal Reserve is starting to get a handle on inflation, the global bond market saw a slight rebound, but the yield curve remained inverted at the end of the Annual Period, which remains a concern for many investors.

Direxion Shares Operational Review:

The discussion below relates to the performance of the ETFs for the Annual Period. The ETFs are 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 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 the use of leverage, the consequences of seeking daily leveraged investment results and intend to actively monitor and manage their investments.

DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT

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 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.

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 ETF seeks daily investment results (before fees and expenses) of either 200% (for the Bull ETFs) or -100% or -200% (for the 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.

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

DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT

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 – Equity Bull ETFs are positively impacted by equity and index dividends as the ETFs receive those payments. Equity Bear ETFs are negatively impacted as they are obligated to pay the dividends. Treasury Bull ETFs receive interest, accrued on a daily basis, to account for the Treasury's semi-annual coupon payments while the Treasury Bear ETFs pay interest, accrued on a daily basis.

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.

Since the Fund's inception on December 16, 2021, the S&P North American Expanded Technology Software Index returned -33.17%. 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.

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 US Infrastructure Bull 2X Shares returned -3.44%, while the model indicated an expected return of -1.28%.

Index Volatility:

The Annual Period was extremely volatile, leaving investors without a clear strategy, and no clear sector winner. Typically defensive stocks were not immune to the volatility, and the market cycles were moving unpredictably. The VIX Index, a measure of volatility and market sentiment, averaged 25.20 during the Annual Period, with a high of 36.45 in early March 2022, whereas the average for the previous five years was 20.94.

An investor should carefully consider a Fund's investment objective, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. A Fund's prospectus and summary prospectus contain this and other information about the Direxion Shares. To obtain a Fund's prospectus and summary prospectus call 866-476-7523 or visit our website at direxion.com. A Fund's prospectus and summary prospectus should be read carefully before investing.

Investing in a Direxion Shares ETF may be more volatile than investing in broadly diversified funds. The use of leverage by an ETF increases the risk to the ETF. The Direxion Shares ETFs are not suitable for all investors and should be utilized only by sophisticated investors who understand leverage risk, consequences of seeking daily leveraged, or daily inverse leveraged, investment results and intend to actively monitor and manage their investment. The Direxion Shares ETFs are not designed to track their respective underlying indices over a period of time longer than one day.

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.

LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) is the average interest rate estimated by leading banks in London that they would be charged if borrowing from other banks.

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 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 exchange traded funds (the "ETFs") covers the period from November 1, 2021 to October 31, 2022 (the "Annual Period").

Market Review:

Signs of broad-based inflation began in the fall of 2021, leading to a shaky global equity market environment. At the time, most experts predicted inflation levels were transitory, quelling investor concerns temporarily. Equity markets began to pick up through December, ending the year on a high. However, it soon became clear the widespread inflation was not going anywhere and the Federal Reserve announced an acceleration of monetary policy that was implemented through a series of interest rate hikes to combat inflation. Simultaneously, the highly contagious Covid-19 Omicron variant spread across the world and, despite high vaccination rates, breakthrough infections were at an all-time high. However, by the end of the Annual Period, Covid was far less of a concern for investors. Just as markets were looking up again, with the S&P 500 posting its first monthly gain in March 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, and the effects of the invasion rippled across equity markets, as energy prices surged and fears of wider-spread conflict grew. In response, the United States and other western nations imposed extreme economic sanctions on Russia. Markets were very volatile on the heels of the Russian invasion, and the first two quarters of 2022 saw a shrinking U.S. GDP. June earnings reports were surprisingly strong, despite a mid-month S&P low. Despite these numbers, July was a strong month, but this positive sentiment did not last long. A hawkish speech from Federal Reserve Chair, Jerome Powell, in August negatively impacted markets around the world. September was another rough month for equities, with both the S&P 500 and NASDAQ dropping roughly 10%. Global markets fared no better, as the UK entered a recession, and China faced mass protests and unrest. October saw a modest increase in stocks as the Federal Reserve indicated it will pull back on its aggressive tightening in the near future after positive third quarter readings, but overall sentiment was still generally low. Investors are pivoting towards more risk-off investments in an attempt to navigate historic inflation levels, geopolitical conflict and high interest rates, although traditional safe haven investments, such as commodities, are less appealing than they have been in the past.

The U.S. bond market was in consistent decline for the majority of the Annual Period, oftentimes diverging from trends in the equities markets. In the fall, treasuries and international bonds were experiencing the worst performance of the Annual Period, as concerns over rising interest rates and inflation began. As inflation worsened and proved to be less transitory than initially predicted, central banks around the world pivoted towards more hawkish policies. In December, the Federal Reserve announced there would be three or four rate hikes throughout 2022, as well as a tapering of U.S. treasury asset purchases. In late February, the Russian invasion of Ukraine rippled through the global financial system, including fixed income markets. The U.S. Treasury yield curve started to flatten as the 10-20 year bond spread grew and became inverted. While bonds have typically been considered a way to hedge a portfolio against equities, this strategy has not typically held true in the current market environment. After the positive indication that the Federal Reserve is starting to get a handle on inflation, the global bond market saw a slight rebound, but the yield curve remained inverted at the end of the Annual Period, which remains a concern for many investors.

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

DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT
14


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 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.

Factors Affecting Direxion Shares 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 ETF seeks daily investment results (before fees and expenses) of either 150% (for the Bull ETFs) or -100% (for the Bear ETFs) 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. The Bear ETFs seek to achieve inverse magnified correlation to their respective underlying security.

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.

DIREXION ANNUAL REPORT
15


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 underlying security.

Equity Dividends and Bond Interest – Equity Bull ETFs are positively impacted by equity and common shares dividends as the ETFs receive those payments. Equity 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.

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.

An investor should carefully consider a Fund's investment objective, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. A Fund's prospectus and summary prospectus contain this and other information about the Direxion Shares. To obtain a Fund's prospectus and summary prospectus call 866-476-7523 or visit our website at direxion.com. A Fund's prospectus and summary prospectus should be read carefully before investing.

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 ETF RisksAn investment in the ETFs involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. The ETFs are non-diversified and include risks associated with concentration that results from an ETF's investments in a particular company, which can increase volatility. The use of derivatives such as futures contracts 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 a multiple of the return of their respective underlying security for periods other than a single day. For other risks including leverage, correlation, daily compounding, market volatility and risks specific to an industry, sector, or company, please read each ETF's prospectus.

The views of this letter were those of the Adviser as of October 31, 2022 and may not necessarily reflect its views on the date this letter is first published or anytime thereafter. These views are intended to help shareholders in understanding the ETFs' present investment methodology and do not constitute investment advice.

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. As stated in the current prospectus, the Fund's total annual fund operating expense ratio (gross) is 0.76%. 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 0.80% (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, 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 CSI 300 Index is a modified free-float market capitalization weighted index comprised of the largest and most liquid stocks in the Chinese A-share market. Index constituent stocks must have been listed for more than three months (unless the stock's average daily A-share market capitalization since its initial listing ranks among the top 30 of all A-shares) and must not be experiencing obvious abnormal fluctuations or market manipulations. 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.

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. As stated in the current prospectus, the Fund's total annual operating expense ratio (gross) is 0.99%. 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 (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 Alphabet, Inc. stock (NASDAQ: GOOGL).

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.

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.

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 1.04%. 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 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 0.90%. 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, 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 (-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 MVIS Global Junior Gold Miners Index is a cap-weighted total return index that covers the largest and most liquid small-cap companies that derive at least 50% from Gold or Silver mining or have properties to do so. The performance of the MVIS Global Junior Gold Miners 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 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 Solactive TIPS ETF Index provides exposure to the iShares TIPS Bond ETF, which seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of inflation-protected U.S Treasury bonds, commonly known as "TIPS." TIPS are securities issued by the U.S. Treasury that are designed to provide inflation protection to investors. 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, 2022

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, 2022 to October 31, 2022).

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, 2022 to October 31, 2022" 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.
