Fund Information

The Direxion Long/Short Global IPO Fund


The three stages of the life cycle:

This fund manages new issues through three distinct stages. Here's how it works:

  • Stage 1: Initial Offerings (first 60 days) – The Fund will participate in initial public offerings to take advantage of any potential under-pricing in the global IPO market.
  • Stage 2: Year 1 Issues – the fund selects new issues, expected to over-perform, to hold in long positions.
  • Stage 3: Year 2-4 Issues – the fund selects new issues, expected to under perform, to sell short.

All issues are analyzed independently for each segment of the life cycle and their performance is actively monitored once in the portfolio. Purchasing an IPO in either of the first two stages does not necessarily mean that it will be kept in the portfolio throughout the entire life cycle.
