Direxion Partners with Investing Platform Public.com

 Direxion to Sponsor Trading Safety Label and Provide Leveraged and Inverse ETF Education

NEW YORK, June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Direxion (www.direxion.com), a leading provider of leveraged, inverse, and thematic ETFs, today announced a partnership with fractional investing platform Public.com to provide in-app educational content for leveraged and inverse ETFs to millions of retail investors.

As part of the partnership, Direxion is powering Safety Labels on leveraged and inverse ETFs on the Public.com platform. Safety Labels appear as potential investors are in the process of making a trade, providing an important layer of context so they can make informed decisions in the moment. These notifications appear on crypto assets, stocks, and ETFs deemed riskier, or differentiated, as per the SEC. Public was the first investing platform to include contextual Safety Labels on stocks and ETFs in June 2020.

In addition to providing contextual flags on all leveraged and inverse ETFs on Public.com, Direxion's Safety Labels also include educational content about leveraged and inverse ETFs, enabling traders to better understand how these ETFs function and their associated risks.

"Retail investors are looking for opportunities to build their skill and incorporate more sophisticated trading strategies into their portfolios," said Direxion Managing Director and Head of Product David Mazza. "Direxion is committed to providing education alongside leveraged and inverse ETF products, and we share Public.com's mission to provide the tools and the context to help people become better investors."

Public.com is an investing platform where members can build a modern portfolio with any asset, from stocks & ETFs to crypto & NFTs, to art & collectibles, including fractionally. The platform also provides an investing experience spanning expert content such as Town Halls with company executives, Public Live daily audio shows with financial journalists and analysts, and Learn & Earn lessons on key portfolio-building topics.

Direxion will be participating in six Public Live audio shows beginning today, June 8, 2022, at 1 p.m. ET, and then again the first Wednesday of each month at 1 p.m. ET through November 9, 2022.

"Today's retail investors say one of their primary sources for education is their investing platform," said Katie Perry, GM of IR Innovation and Editorial at Public.com. "We're building an environment where people can grow as an investor in the very same place they build their portfolios. We're thrilled to partner with Direxion to educate investors about the unique mechanics of leveraged and inverse ETFs."

All Direxion leveraged and inverse ETFs are intended only for investors with an in-depth understanding of the risks associated with seeking leveraged investment results, and who plan to actively monitor and manage their positions. There is no guarantee these ETFs will meet their objective. Please visit the Direxion Leveraged and Inverse ETF Education Center, where you will find educational brochures, videos, and a self-paced online course to help you understand if leveraged ETFs are right for you.
