These Direxion Daily ETFs are designed to deliver daily returns that are either two times (200%) the performance of the Solactive US AI & Big Data Index (for the Bull version) or two times (200%) the inverse (opposite) performance of the same index (for the Bear version). This target is calculated before any fees and expenses are applied. However, it's important to note that there's no guarantee these funds will successfully achieve their stated daily investment goals. ### What is the expense ratio of AIBD? Direxion Daily AI and Big Data Bear 2X ETF (AIBD) charges an expense ratio of 2.64%. This is the annual fee deducted from fund assets to cover management and operations. ### Is AIBD a good long-term hold? AIBD is a leveraged fund designed to deliver a daily multiple of its underlying index. Daily reset compounding means returns over multi-day periods can diverge significantly from the headline multiple, typically with negative drift in choppy markets. These funds are designed for short-term tactical use, not buy-and-hold. Review the fund's prospectus before holding more than a few days. ### How does AIBD's daily reset work? AIBD rebalances exposure each trading day to maintain its target leverage ratio against the next day's move. The daily reset means returns compound at the daily level, so a +1%, −1% sequence on the underlying doesn't return the underlying to flat after the leverage multiplier. Over time this path-dependence erodes returns in volatile markets and amplifies them in trending markets. ### How big is AIBD? Direxion Daily AI and Big Data Bear 2X ETF (AIBD) manages $6.0M in total assets. AUM determines bid-ask liquidity and the fund's vulnerability to closure. Funds below ~$50M are at higher risk of liquidation. ### Is AIBD actively managed or an index fund? AIBD's management style is described in the fund's prospectus. See the description on the Summary tab for the published strategy. ### Does AIBD pay a dividend? Direxion Daily AI and Big Data Bear 2X ETF (AIBD) currently distributes little or no income. Trailing-twelve-month yield is 3.87%. Investors looking for income should consider income-focused alternatives. See the Peers tab. ### How often does AIBD pay dividends? Direxion Daily AI and Big Data Bear 2X ETF pays dividends Quarterly. Each ex-dividend date, record date, and payment date is listed in the dividend history table on this page. ### What is AIBD's dividend yield? AIBD's trailing-twelve-month yield is 3.87%, calculated from the sum of dividends over the past year divided by the current price. ### When is AIBD's next ex-dividend date? The most recently announced ex-dividend date for AIBD was 2026-09-22. The next ex-date typically follows Quarterly; once announced it appears at the top of the dividend history table on this page. ### How much will AIBD's expense ratio cost me over 30 years? On a $10,000 investment compounding at 7% gross return, a 2.64% expense ratio quietly compounds against your balance every year. The Fee Compounding Forecast card above projects the dollar drag for any holding period and assumption you pick. The typical result for a 1.0% expense ratio on a 30-year hold is roughly 25% of the final balance lost to fees. ### How does AIBD charge its expense ratio? The expense ratio is deducted in tiny daily slices from AIBD's net asset value (NAV). You never see a bill. The price quoted on every exchange is already net of fees. There's no "fee day" to avoid; the cost is continuous and built into the trading price. ### Why does AIBD cost more than a fund like VOO? AIBD is a leveraged fund (current expense ratio 2.64%). Daily-reset leverage products carry swap and financing costs that don't exist on a plain-vanilla equity ETF. The Cost Verdict card compares against the leveraged/inverse cohort where these costs are the norm. ### Are there cheaper alternatives to AIBD? The Lower-Fee Alternatives card above lists ETFs following the same investment strategy as AIBD (2.64%) but at a lower expense ratio. Each row shows the fee gap, the peer's AUM as a liquidity sanity-check, and a direct link to that fund's analysis page. Cheaper price doesn't automatically mean better.
