METD is a short-term tactical tool that aims to deliver -1x the price return, less fees and expenses, for a single day of META stock. Purchasers holding shares for longer than a day will need to monitor and rebalance their position frequently to attempt to achieve the -1x multiple. Aside from the inverse exposure, compared to traditional ETFs, the shares take on added volatility due to the lack of diversification. Purchasers should conduct their own individual stock research prior to initiating a position and trade with conviction. Due to the complexities of the product, shares tend to perform as anticipated only when the underlying shares are trending, and holders are on the positive corresponding side of that trade. However, the shares provide the advantage of capping the maximum loss to the full amount invested. Effective February 27, 2026, the fund replaced the term Shares in its name with ETF. ### What is the expense ratio of METD? Direxion Daily META Bear 1X ETF (METD) charges an expense ratio of 1.19%. This is the annual fee deducted from fund assets to cover management and operations. ### Is METD a good long-term hold? METD is a inverse 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 METD's daily reset work? METD 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 METD? Direxion Daily META Bear 1X ETF (METD) manages $10.7M 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 METD actively managed or an index fund? METD's management style is described in the fund's prospectus. See the description on the Summary tab for the published strategy. ### Does METD pay a dividend? Direxion Daily META Bear 1X ETF (METD) currently distributes little or no income. Trailing-twelve-month yield is 2.51%. Investors looking for income should consider income-focused alternatives. See the Peers tab. ### How often does METD pay dividends? Direxion Daily META Bear 1X 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 METD's dividend yield? METD's trailing-twelve-month yield is 2.51%, calculated from the sum of dividends over the past year divided by the current price. ### When is METD's next ex-dividend date? The most recently announced ex-dividend date for METD 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 METD's expense ratio cost me over 30 years? On a $10,000 investment compounding at 7% gross return, a 1.19% 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 METD charge its expense ratio? The expense ratio is deducted in tiny daily slices from METD'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 METD cost more than a fund like VOO? METD is a inverse fund (current expense ratio 1.19%). 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 METD? The Lower-Fee Alternatives card above lists ETFs following the same investment strategy as METD (1.19%) 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.
