Letter to Shareholders (Unaudited)
Dear Shareholders,
This Semi-Annual Report for the Direxion Shares exchange traded funds (the "ETFs") covers the period from November 1, 2021 to April 30, 2022 (the "Semi-Annual Period").
Market Review:
Although global equities ended 2021 on a high note, the Omicron variant of Covid-19 was beginning to spread, and the CPI index started to creep upward. The equity rally did not last into 2022, as the S&P 500 recorded its worst January since 2008, with value names outperforming growth names. Equity markets continued to decline through February 2022, further magnified by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The S&P 500 posted its first monthly gain of the year in March 2022, but not all global markets followed suit. At the same time, Chinese markets were crashing, primarily due to renewed countrywide Covid-19 shut-downs. April 2022 was extremely volatile, with equity markets struggling both domestically and internationally.
In November 2021, the treasury yield curve flattened and appetite for bonds was weak. There was a slight shift in December 2021, as investors looked towards the debt markets as a safe haven against mounting inflationary pressures, but risk-off sentiment returned in 2022 as the Federal Reserve took a hawkish stance against the economic environment. The Russian invasion of Ukraine weakened the fixed income segment of the market further, especially in emerging market debt. The end of this period saw the treasury yield curve shift higher, hurting fixed income returns. The general economic sentiment was weak as CPI and inflation rose, geopolitical tensions continued, and the Federal Reserve raised rates.
Factors Affecting the ETFs Performance:
Benchmark Performance – The performance of each ETF's benchmark index, and the factors and market conditions implicitly affecting that index, are the primary factors driving ETF performance. The market conditions that affected the benchmark indexes during the past year are described in the Market Review section above.
Fees, Expenses, and Transaction Costs – Fees and expenses are listed in each ETF's prospectus and may be higher than many traditional index funds' fees, which cause a greater negative impact on ETF performance. Transaction costs are not included in the expense ratio of the ETFs.
The ETFs Performance Review:
The following discussion relates to the performance of the ETFs for the Semi-Annual Period. The performance of the ETFs for the Semi-Annual Period is important primarily for understanding whether the ETFs meet their investment goals. All ETF returns are NAV (net asset value) returns.
Non-Leveraged ETFs
The Direxion Auspice Broad Commodity Strategy ETF seeks to provide total returns that exceed that of the Auspice Broad Commodity Index over a complete market cycle. The Auspice Broad Commodity Index attempts to capture upward trends in the commodity markets while minimizing risk during down trends. The Auspice Broad Commodity Index will use a quantitative methodology to track either long or flat positions in a diversified portfolio of 12 different commodity futures contracts, or "components", which cover the energy, metal, and agricultural sectors. It attempts to incorporate dynamic risk management and contract rolling methods. For the Semi-Annual Period, the Auspice Broad Commodity Index returned 16.01%, while the Direxion Auspice Broad Commodity Strategy ETF returned 15.64%.

Commodities have rallied in an otherwise bear market, primarily due to inflation.

The Direxion Auspice Broad Commodity Strategy ETF had strong performance despite overall market volatility.
The Direxion Fallen Knives ETF seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the Indxx US Fallen Knives Index. The Indxx US Fallen Knives Index is designed by Indxx, LLC to consist of U.S equity securities that have experienced considerable share price declines over the prior year and have financial health, suggesting that the security has potential for share price recovery in the future. For the Semi-Annual Period, the Indxx US Fallen Knives Index returned -29.59%, while the Direxion Fallen Knives ETF returned -29.70%.
Grocery Outlet Holding Corp. (GO), a grocery store owner and operator, was one of the top performers during the Semi-Annual, with a total return of 44.69%. Coupa Software Inc.

Almost 50% of the Direxion Fallen Knives ETF's portfolio is held in health care, which experienced losses as a sector.
The Direxion Hydrogen ETF seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the Indxx Hydrogen Economy Index. The Indxx Hydrogen Economy Index tracks the performance of companies that provide goods and/or services related to the Hydrogen Industry, including hydrogen generation and storage, fuel cells, hydrogen stations, and hydrogen-based vehicles.

The Index is reconstituted annually and rebalanced quarterly. For the Semi-Annual Period, the Indxx Hydrogen Economy Index returned -28.98%, while the Direxion Hydrogen ETF returned -28.93%.

However, hydrogen is gaining momentum as an important source for the global energy transition.
The Direxion Low Priced Stock ETF seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the Solactive Two Bucks Index. The Solactive Two Bucks Index is an equal-weighted index provided by Solactive AG that is designed to measure the performance of U.S.-listed securities with relatively low trading prices. The Index Provider begins with the Solactive GBS United States All Cap Index and applies certain requirements that vary depending on the quarter at which the Index is rebalanced in order to select a total of 50 securities. The Index is rebalanced and reconstituted quarterly in February, May, August, and November. For the Semi-Annual Period, the Solactive Two Bucks Index returned -28.51%, while the Direxion Low Priced Stock ETF returned -28.33%.
Nextier Oilfield Solutions (NEX) and RPC Inc. (RES) both experienced significant gains of 138.73% and 89.38%, respectively, during the Semi-Annual Period. However, the majority of the Direxion Low Priced Stock ETF's portfolio posted negative returns, which outweighed these substantial gains. Despite losses, roughly 40% of the portfolio is held in the energy sector, which has potential for strong returns moving forward.
The Direxion Moonshot Innovators ETF seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the S&P Kensho Moonshots Index. The S&P Kensho Moonshots Index is comprised of 50 U.S. companies that pursue innovative technologies that have the potential to disrupt existing technologies and/or industries (i.e., moonshot innovators) and are considered to have the highest "early-stage composite innovation scores" which is determined based off a natural language processing review of the constituent company's latest annual regulatory filing for the use of words and phrases that are related to innovation. The Index is modified equal-weighted, reconstituted annually, and rebalanced semi-annually. For the Semi-Annual Period, the S&P Kensho Moonshots Index returned -52.54%, while the Direxion Moonshot Innovators ETF returned -52.37%.

Some more well-known names, such as Dropbox and Yelp, experienced losses during the Semi-Annual Period, in line with the overall holdings of the Direxion Moonshot Innovators ETF. Tech names have had difficulties recently, and IT companies make up roughly 50% of the portfolio.
The Direxion mRNA ETF seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the BITA Messenger RNA Technology Index. The BITA Messenger RNA Technology Index provides exposure to the performance of companies, publicly listed in the United States, Canada and Europe, that are leading the development and application of messenger RNA ("mRNA") technology. mRNA is a single-stranded ribonucleic acid ("RNA") molecule that is complementary to one of the DNA strands of a gene. mRNA plays a vital role in protein synthesis in the human body, and mRNA technologies leverage this vital role to enable targeted cells to produce proteins that enable the body to fight or prevent a given disease. As an example, mRNA technology is the basis for certain COVID-19 vaccines. Eligible companies must meet certain conditions as specified by the Index Provider as well as market capitalization and liquidity requirements. Index constituents are weighted based on a modified free float market capitalization and reconstituted and rebalanced quarterly. Since the Fund's inception on December 9, 2021, the BITA Messenger RNA Technology Index returned -42.33%, while the Direxion mRNA ETF returned -42.40%.
The top performer during the Semi-Annual Period was Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX), which returned 32.24% and has a portfolio weight of 9.25%, the highest weighted stock in the Direxion mRNA ETF. Well-known bio tech companies Moderna (MRNA) and Bio N Tech (BNTX) experienced almost identical losses of roughly -52%. Gritstone Bio (GRTS) was the worst performer, losing -79.03% since the Fund's inception, with a weight of 3.55%. For the most part, the healthcare sector has struggled during the Period, which has translated to poor fund performance, but many companies have interesting projects upcoming. For example, Bio N Tech is in a trial for pancreatic cancer treatment.
The Direxion Nanotechnology ETF seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the S&P Kensho Extended Nanotechnology Index. The S&P Kensho Extended Nanotechnology Index, a subsector index within the S&P Kensho New Economy Index Series, is designed to measure the performance of U.S. listed securities, including depositary receipts, of companies involved in the nanotechnology industry. The Index Provider defines nanotechnology as the creation and/or manipulation of matter at the molecular (or smaller) level.

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.
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 Fund's 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.
Futures Contract: an agreement traded on an organized exchange to buy or sell assets, especially commodities or shares, at a fixed price but to be delivered and paid for later.
Direxion Auspice Broad Commodity Strategy ETF – Commodities and futures generally are volatile and are not suitable for all investors. The value of a commodity-linked derivative investment typically is based upon the price movements of a physical commodity and may be affected by changes in overall market movements, volatility of the Index, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments. Commodity linked derivatives also may be subject to credit and interest rate risks that in general affect the values of debt securities. 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 leverage, imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund's other portfolio holdings, higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty risk, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. 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. Futures markets are highly volatile and the use of futures may increase the volatility of the Fund. 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. There may not be a liquid secondary market for the futures contracts.

Under amended regulations promulgated by the U.S. Commodities Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC"), the Fund and the Subsidiary are considered commodity pools, and therefore each is subject to regulation under the Commodity Exchange Act and CFTC rules. The Adviser is registered as a commodity pool operator ("CPO") and will manage both the Fund and Subsidiary in accordance with CFTC rules, as well as the rules that apply to registered investment companies, which includes registering both the Fund and the Subsidiary as commodity pools. Registration as a commodity pool subjects the registrant to additional laws, regulations and enforcement policies, all of which may potentially increase compliance costs and may affect the operations and financial performance of the Fund or the Subsidiary. Additionally, the Subsidiary's positions in futures contracts may have to be liquidated at disadvantageous times or prices to prevent the Fund from exceeding any applicable position limits established by the CFTC. Such actions may subject the Fund to substantial losses.
Direxion Relative Weight ETFs Risks – Investing involves risk including possible loss of principal. The ETFs' investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater than, those associated with directly investing in or shorting securities or other investments. There is no guarantee that the returns on an ETF's long or short positions will produce high, or even positive returns and the ETF could lose money if either or both of the ETF's long and short positions produce negative returns. Please see the summary and full prospectuses for a more complete description of these and other risks of the ETFs.
Direxion Shares Risks – An 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 industry or sector 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 index for periods other than a single day. For other risks including leverage, correlation, daily compounding, market volatility and risks specific to an industry or sector, please read the prospectus.
The views of this letter were those of the Adviser as of April 30, 2022 and may not necessarily reflect his 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.

Expense Example (Unaudited)
April 30, 2022
As a shareholder of the Funds, 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 (November 1, 2021 to April 30, 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 November 1, 2021 to April 30, 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.
