Frequently Asked Questions About ASMU

What does ASMU invest in?

The Direxion Daily ASML Bull 2X ETF aims to deliver daily investment returns that are two times (200%) the performance of the common stock issued by ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ: ASML), prior to the assessment of any fees and expenses.

Direxion Daily ASML Bull 2X ETF (ASMU) charges an expense ratio of 0.99%. This is the annual fee deducted from fund assets to cover management and operations.

Is ASMU a good long-term hold?

ASMU 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 ASMU's daily reset work?

ASMU 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 ASMU?
