NEW
YORK, Sept. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Following
upon the recent success of its first four single stock leveraged
and inverse ETFs - TSLL, TSLS, AAPU, and AAPD - Direxion, a leading
provider of tradeable and thematic ETFs, today announced the launch
of an additional six single stock leveraged and inverse ETFs,
listing on the NASDAQ, which allow active traders to obtain
magnified, or inverse, exposure to the daily performance of the
common stocks of Amazon, Google or Microsoft.
"Amazon, Google and Microsoft are three of the world's largest
stocks, are heavily traded, and are widely recognized," said
Direxion Managing Director and Head of Product, David Mazza. "The ability to express
short-term views on single stocks using a Bull or Bear fund is an
excellent way for traders to respond tactically to potential
company events and market moves."
The new ETFs are as follows:

As ground-breaking products built for active traders, Direxion's
pairs of single stock leveraged and inverse ETFs are meant to be
used for short-term trading purposes. Leveraged and inverse single
stock ETFs should not be viewed as buy and hold investments, but
rather trading tools for traders with a high risk tolerance. In
addition, unlike traditional ETFs, or even other levered and/or
inverse ETFs, these ETFs track the price of a single stock rather
than an index, eliminating the benefits of diversification.
Additionally, the ETFs do not invest directly in AMZN, GOOGL or
MSFT.
All Direxion leveraged and inverse ETFs are intended only for
investors with an in-depth understanding of the risks associated
with seeking leveraged or inverse investment results, and who plan
to actively monitor and manage their positions. There is no
guarantee these ETFs will meet their objective. Please visit the
Direxion Leveraged and Inverse ETF Education Center, where you will
find educational brochures, videos, and a self-paced online course
to help you understand if leveraged and inverse ETFs are right for
you.

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 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 Funds will lose
money even if the underlying stock's performance increases over a
period longer than a single day.
AMZU/AMZD Specific Risks: Consumer Discretionary
Sector Risk – Because companies in the consumer
discretionary sector manufacture products and provide discretionary
services directly to the consumer, the success of these companies
is tied closely to the performance of the overall domestic and
international economy, including the functioning of the global
supply chain, interest rates, competition and consumer
confidence.
Amazon.com, Inc. Investing Risk – Amazon.com, Inc.
faces risks associated with intense competition across different
industries, including physical, e-commerce omnichannel retail,
e-commerce services, web and infrastructure computing services,
electronic devices, digital content, advertising, grocery, and
transportation and logistics services; the expansion into new
products, services, technologies and geographic regions; its
international activities; the variability in the demand for its
products and services; intellectual property rights; risks relating

relationships, including content and technology licensors; the
success of acquisitions or joint ventures or other investments; its

regulatory and litigation issues.
GGLL/GGLS Specific Risks: Technology
Sector Risk – The market prices of technology-related
securities tend to exhibit a greater degree of market risk and
sharp price fluctuations than other types of securities. These
securities may fall in and out of favor with investors rapidly,
which may cause sudden selling and dramatically lower market
prices. Technology securities may be affected by intense
competition, obsolescence of existing technology, general economic
conditions and government regulation and may have limited product
lines, markets, financial resources or personnel.
Alphabet Inc. Class A Investing Risk – As of the
date of this prospectus, in addition to the risks associated with
companies in the information technology sector, Alphabet Inc.'s
Class A shares face risks associated with reliance on advertising
revenue and the effect that loss of partners or new and existing
technologies that block advertisements online may have on its
business; intense competition for its products and services across
different industries; investments in new businesses, products,
services and technologies that may divert management attention or
harm its financial condition or operating results; slowdowns in its
revenue growth rate; the ability to protect its intellectual
property rights; the ability to maintain or enhance its brands and
its impact on the ability to expand its user base, advertisers,
customers, content providers and other partners; manufacturing and
supply chain issues; interruptions to, or interferences with, its
complex information technology and communication systems; its
international operations; failure to evolve with the advancement of
technology and user preferences; data privacy and security
concerns; regulatory, and legal and litigation issues.
MSFU/MSFD Specific Risks: Technology
Sector Risk – The market prices of technology-related
securities tend to exhibit a greater degree of market risk and
sharp price fluctuations than other types of securities. These
securities may fall in and out of favor with investors rapidly,
which may cause sudden selling and dramatically lower market
prices. Technology securities may be affected by intense
competition, obsolescence of existing technology, general economic
conditions and government regulation and may have limited product
lines, markets, financial resources or personnel.
Microsoft Corporation Investing Risk – Microsoft
Corporation faces risks associated with competition in the
technology sector and among platform-based ecosystems, including
its cloud-based services; the evolution of its business, including
the development of its new products and acquisitions, joint
ventures and strategic alliances; cybersecurity, data privacy and
platform abuses; operations, including excessive outages, data
losses or disruptions of online services; quality or supply
problems; legal, regulatory and litigation risks; and the ability
