Fund Information

The Direxion Long/Short Global IPO Fund


Long/Short Global IPO fund in your investment strategies

  • Allows better diversification into a different asset class.
  • Provides a potential hedge for adverse market conditions.
  • It is part of a non-correlating asset class – IPOs tend to behave differently from the rest of the market during the first four years of their life cycle. (See the chart on page x for an illustration of this.)
  • "Down" market protection – IPOs tend to issue cheaply, which may help to provide a buffer against downside performance in the first 12 months prior to the initial earnings announcement.
  • Built in tactical management – Allows investors to seek returns throughout the three different phases of a new issue's life cycle.
  • Gain broad, global access to the IPO syndicates that are typically reserved only for institutional investors.
  • Provides a vehicle for investors to take advantage of the investment opportunities available in the IPO market.
  • The Fund's investment strategy may be resilient to market cycles.
  • Offers diversification into IPOs without having to make individual long-only "bets."
  • Serves as an investment tool for both active and buy and hold investors seeking timely and systematic IPO exposure.
  • The Fund offers an investment strategy that has little correlation with major benchmark indices.
