Direxion Shares ETF Trust - Direxion Daily Biotech Top 5 Bull 2X ETF (TBXU) is a leveraged exchange-traded fund that seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, equal to 200% of the performance of the NYSE Biotechnology Top 5 Equal Weight Index. The fund, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in financial instruments including swaps, futures contracts, options, and exchange-traded funds that provide leveraged exposure to an equal-weighted basket of the top five U.S.-listed biotechnology companies by market capitalization; it also holds cash equivalents and money market instruments to collateralize derivatives. TBXU targets sophisticated traders and investors seeking amplified short-term returns from biotechnology sector leaders across therapeutic areas such as gene editing, precision medicine, and rare diseases, with operations focused on U.S. public equity markets.
