- Direxion Daily Aerospace & Defense Bull 3X Shares (DFEN) is a leveraged exchange-traded fund that seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, equal to 300% of the performance of the Dow Jones U.S. Select Aerospace & Defense Index, which measures the U.S. equity market's aerospace and defense industry including manufacturers, assemblers, distributors of aircraft and parts, and producers of military components, radar, and weapons; the fund employs derivatives such as swaps, futures, and other instruments to achieve its leveraged exposure, with top holdings including GE Aerospace, RTX Corporation (formerly Raytheon Technologies), Boeing, and others representing large-cap growth and value stocks. Launched on May 3, 2017, and issued by Direxion Shares ETF Trust, managed by Rafferty Asset Management, LLC, DFEN trades on the NYSE Arca exchange with a net expense ratio of 0.95%, assets under management of approximately $396 million, and quarterly distributions including recent income dividends and capital gains payouts in 2024 and 2025. Direxion, the brand sponsor founded in 1997 and headquartered at 1301 Avenue of the Americas in New York, New York, specializes in leveraged, inverse, and thematic ETFs designed for sophisticated traders seeking amplified short-term market exposure across various sectors; the firm operates primarily in the United States with additional offices in Boston and Hong Kong. In recent developments, Direxion has expanded its single-stock leveraged and inverse ETF lineup through multiple 2025 launches including funds tied to Ford (July), Cisco and Qualcomm (June), Boeing and Exxon Mobil (April), and AMD (February), alongside appointing Mo Sparks as Chief Product Officer in April 2025 and announcing ETF distributions and closures such as OOTO and CLDL in June 2025; DFEN itself benefits from heightened investor interest amid surging global defense spending trends, NATO discussions, and geopolitical factors driving inflows into aerospace and defense ETFs.
