Direxion Launches Low Priced Stock ETF

NEW YORK, July 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Direxion announced today the launch of the Direxion Low Priced Stock ETF (Ticker: LOPX). LOPX invests in 50 companies trading at share prices between $2 and $5 at the time of purchase. Low priced stocks tend to be in the small-to-mid cap range of the market, with higher return potential on average, coupled with higher volatility.

"Investors and traders are increasingly interested in gaining exposure to stocks outside of traditional indexes," said David Mazza, Managing Director, Head of Product at Direxion. "On average, low priced stocks have four times fewer analyst recommendations than mega caps, highlighting their lack of coverage by investment banks. LOPX provides a way for Main Street investors to take advantage of stocks neglected by Wall Street research, which may be ripe for potential outperformance."

LOPX seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Two Bucks Index. The Solactive Two Bucks Index tracks the performance of 50 U.S.-listed companies trading between $2 and $5 at the time of annual reconstitution. The companies will remain unless share prices decline below $1.25, or increase beyond $10, at quarterly rebalance.

As of June 30, 2021, the 50 constituents had a median total market capitalization of $1.3 billion, with total market capitalizations ranging from $60 million to $29 billion, and was concentrated in the energy and health care sectors. Top ten holdings are as follows:

Direxion Shares Risks – Investing involves risk including possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the investment strategy will be successful. Stocks with a low trading price may be subject to short-term price movements and higher volatility.  Further, low price securities may have limited liquidity and trade volume which may affect the Fund's ability to purchase or sell a position at the time of reconstitution, or to purchase or sell the security without effecting the price of the security. Companies with low trading volume and/or low security prices may be seen to have a deteriorating company reputation comparted to those companies with greater market capitalization.  Additional risks of the Fund include, but are not limited to, Index Correlation/Tracking Risk, Index Strategy Risk, Natural Disaster/ Epidemic and Market Disruption Risk, and risks associated with the market capitalizations and sectors of the securities in which the Fund may invest. Please see the summary and full prospectuses for a more complete description of these and other risks of the Fund.
