INTRODUCING PORTFOLIO+ ETFs.

YOUR ASSET ALLOCATION STRATEGY. PLUS A LITTLE MORE.Portfolio+ ETFs are a suite of exchange traded funds that add 25% more daily exposure to popular broad-based indexes. These ETFs allow investors to obtain $1.25 worth of daily exposure to their benchmark index for every $1.00 invested. Advisors can apply these leveraged products to their existing asset allocation strategies to seek greater upside potential over time.

MAGNIFIED RETURNS MAY BE POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE. Portfolio+ ETFs seek returns that are 125% the return of their benchmark indexes for a single day. The funds should not be expected to provide 1.25 times the return of their benchmarks’ cumulative return for periods greater than a day. Depending upon the path of the index over longer periods, compounding may have a positive or negative impact on the returns of leveraged funds. Compounding affects all investments, but has more impact on leveraged funds. Due to periods of negative compounding caused by index volatility, a fund’s return may be negative in the same period that its index’s return is flat or positive. Portfolio+ ETFs are intended to be used by investors who understand leverage risk and the effects of compounding, and intend to monitor their portfolios.

DIVERSIFICATION IS KEY:

For your clients, the main goal is to grow their assets while taking on an acceptable level of risk. For decades, diversification has been the tried and true method for reaching your clients objectives. It’s no wonder, since effective asset allocation is the most fundamental investing principle because it helps investors seek maximum risk-adjusted returns, over the long run.

Portfolio diversification through broad asset allocation allows investors the opportunity to seek to maximize risk-adjusted returns over full market cycles.

How well you manage your clients’ assets against their individual risk profile over time, in the end may be your best weapon in setting yourself apart from other advisors.

Traditional diversified asset allocation models have served investors well for decades. What if there was a way to add just a little more exposure to those diversified portfolios over time? Now there is.

In general, advisors have relied upon actively and passively managed mutual funds and ETFs, to build different asset allocation models; we believe the Portfolio + ETFs can offer advantages over traditional investments for advisors seeking to outperform the market:

» Cost Effective. Actively managed funds offer access to the

upside potential of the portfolio manager’s best ideas, but

typically involve higher fees, which can hurt long-term

returns.

» Competitive Performance. Passive, traditional index

tracking funds offer low-cost, broad market exposure, but by

definition have no potential to outperform their benchmarks.

» Liquid Structure. The ETF structure offers daily liquidity

and transparency compared to mutual funds, which trade at

NAV and typically release holdings on a quarterly basis.

COMPETITION GROWS AS MARGINS SHRINK.As an advisor, you work hard every day to set yourself apart from your peers in a way that helps build your business. But over the last decade, increased correlation among asset classes, the inability to outperform passive index investing, and downward pressure on fees even as overhead costs rise; all put pressure on you to add cost-effective value for your clients, while defending your margin.

A LITTLE CAN GO A LONG WAY.For decades sophisticated institutional investors have been managing portfolios with the use of derivatives to increase exposure to certain asset classes. Over time, just a small amount of increased exposure might make a difference.

Portfolio+ ETFs are structured in a way to apply this institutional-style strategy, in a simple, cost-effective manner. Consider the Portfolio+ ETF lineup of funds to help your clients’ portfolios work harder for them.

Performance is historical and 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. For the most recent month-end performance please visit the funds’ website at www.portfolioplusetfs.com.

YOUR IDEAS. PLUS.For long-term investors, portfolio diversification is key. Historically, a portfolio constructed of diversified investments provides for better risk adjusted returns and less volatility than any single investment found within the portfolio.

Portfolio+ ETFs provide an additional daily exposure – just 25% – to broad-market indexes through the use of leverage. Funds that employ leverage tend to thrive most consistently in low volatility environments. If you’re successful at creating strategies that combat volatility, then Portfolio+ ETFs may be just the right addition.

Whether you decide to invest in the funds in one or two asset classes or more holistically, the pairing of your best ideas, plus the added strength of Portfolio+ ETFs, may be a great way to set yourself apart.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Shares of the Portfolio+ ETFs are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from a Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. 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. 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.

*The Net Expense Ratio includes management fees, other operating expenses and Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses. If Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses were excluded, the Net Expense Ratio would be 0.32%. The Fund’s adviser, Direxion Advisors, LLC (“Direxion”) has entered into an Operating Expense Limitation Agreement with the Fund, under which Direxion has contractually agreed to cap all or a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse the Fund for Other Expenses through September 1, 2019, to the extent that the Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses exceed 0.32% of the Fund’s daily net assets (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). If these expenses were included, the expense ratio would be higher.
