DIREXION SHARES ETF TRUST II

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2014 (Unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION

Direxion Shares ETF Trust II (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on July 12, 2010. A registration statement on Form S-1 pertaining to the shares of the Trust has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933. The Trust is organized into twelve separate series (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”): Direxion Daily Gold Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Gold Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Silver Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Silver Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Japanese Yen Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Japanese Yen Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Dollar Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Dollar Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Euro Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Euro Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Gold Bear 1X Shares and Direxion Daily Silver Bear 1X Shares. The Funds with the word “3X” in their names are referred to as the Leveraged Funds. Each series of the Trust listed above issues common units of beneficial interest, which represent units of fractional undivided beneficial interest in and ownership of that respective Fund (“Shares”). Each Fund’s Shares will be offered separately. The Shares of each Fund will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange Archipelago (“NYSE Arca”). On April 10, 2014, the Direxion Daily Gold Bull 3X Shares and the Direxion Daily Gold Bear 3X Shares commenced operations. On December 29, 2014, the Direxion Daily Gold Bear 3X Shares began the process of liquidating its net assets. The remaining ten Funds were never operational and began the process of liquidating their assets. Direxion Asset Management, LLC (the “Sponsor”) had subscribed for 25 Shares of each of these Funds in exchange for a capital contribution of $1,000 to each Fund.

The Trust filed an amendment to the registration statement on Form S-1 to remove from registration all of the securities of the following eleven series: Direxion Daily Gold Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Silver Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Silver Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Japanese Yen Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Japanese Yen Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Dollar Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Dollar Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Euro Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Euro Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Gold Bear 1X Shares and Direxion Daily Silver Bear 1X Shares (“Terminated Series”). No sales of common units of beneficial interest of any Terminated Series, expect for the Direxion Daily Gold Bear 3X Shares, were made to the public at any time. The offering of each Terminated Series was terminated on December 29, 2014.

The Sponsor serves as the Trust’s commodity pool operator and commodity trading advisor with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) and is a member of the National Futures Association (“NFA”). In its capacity as a commodity pool operator, the Sponsor is an organization which operates or solicits funds for commodity pools, in which funds contributed by a number of persons are combined for the purpose of trading futures contracts. In its capacity as a commodity trading advisor, the Sponsor is an organization which, for compensation or profit, advises others as to the value of or the advisability of buying or selling futures contracts. Rafferty Asset Management, LLC is the parent and the sole owner of the Sponsor. The Trust and each series of the Trust have fiscal years ending on June 30.

Each Fund seeks to provide daily leveraged investment results (before fees and expenses) which correspond to the performance of a particular index, commodity or currency on a given day. The Funds with the word “Bull” in their name attempt to provide daily leveraged investment results (before fees and expenses) that correlate positively to the return of an index or benchmark. The Funds with the word “Bear” in their name attempt to provide daily leveraged investment results that correlate negatively to the return of an index or benchmark.


Fund	Index or Benchmark	Daily Target
Direxion Daily Gold Bull 3X Shares	Daily performance of COMEX gold futures		300	%
Direxion Daily Gold Bear 3X Shares	Daily performance of COMEX gold futures		-300	%
Direxion Daily Silver Bull 3X Shares	Daily performance of COMEX silver futures		300	%
Direxion Daily Silver Bear 3X Shares	Daily performance of COMEX silver futures		-300	%
Direxion Daily Japanese Yen Bull 3X Shares	U.S. Dollar price of the Japanese Yen		300	%
Direxion Daily Japanese Yen Bear 3X Shares	U.S. Dollar price of the Japanese Yen		-300	%


Direxion Daily Dollar Bull 3X Shares	U.S. Dollar Index	300	%
Direxion Daily Dollar Bear 3X Shares	U.S. Dollar Index	-300	%
Direxion Daily Euro Bull 3X Shares	U.S. Dollar price of the Euro	300	%
Direxion Daily Euro Bear 3X Shares	U.S. Dollar price of the Euro	-300	%
Direxion Daily Gold Bear 1X Shares	Daily performance of COMEX gold futures	-100	%
Direxion Daily Silver Bear 1X Shares	Daily performance of COMEX silver futures	-100	%

The Bull 3X Funds attempt to provide daily leveraged investment results (before fees and expenses) that correlate positively to three times (300%) the daily return of its target benchmark. The Bear 3X Funds attempt to provide daily leveraged investment results (before fees and expenses) that correlate to three times the inverse (-300%) of the daily return of its target benchmark. The Bear 1X Funds attempt to provide daily investment results (before fees and expenses) that correlate negatively to the return of an index or benchmark. These Bear Funds seek -100% of the returns of their benchmark indices. None of the Funds seek to achieve their stated objective over a period greater than one day.

Each Fund intends to obtain exposure to its benchmark by taking long or short positions in futures contracts on its underlying commodity or currency, as applicable. In the event position accountability rules or position limits are reached with respect to the futures contracts, the Sponsor may, in its commercially reasonable judgment, cause the effected Fund to obtain exposure to its benchmark through cash-settled, exchange-traded swaps and other over-the-counter transactions that are based on the price of the futures contracts (“Financial Instruments”), if such instruments tend to exhibit trading prices or returns that correlate with the related futures contract and will further the investment objective of such Fund.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

a) Basis of Accounting

Pursuant to rules and regulations of the SEC, financial statements are presented for the Trust as a whole, as the SEC registrant, and for each Fund individually. The debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a particular Fund shall be enforceable only against the assets of such Fund and not against the assets of the Trust generally or any other Fund. Accordingly, the assets of one Fund of the Trust include only those funds and other assets that are paid to, held by or distributed to the Trust for the purchase of Shares in that Fund. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP.

The Sponsor decided to liquidate the assets of the Terminated Series on December 29, 2014 (date of liquidation) and distribute the cash assets as soon as practicable. As a result, the Terminated Series changed to the liquidation basis of accounting in conformity with GAAP. Under the liquidation basis of accounting, assets are stated at their estimated net realizable values, and liabilities are stated at their net settlement amount. Liquidation basis of accounting requires the Terminated Series to accrue future estimated general and administrative expenses and other costs expected to be incurred through the completion of liquidation. The effects of liquidation accounting have been considered by the Sponsor; however, no material adjustments were required in order to present the financial statements on that basis.

b) Investment Valuation

The Net Asset Value (“NAV”) per share of each Fund will be determined daily, as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE Arca (normally at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time), each day the NYSE Arca is open for business (“Valuation Time”). Futures contracts will be valued at the settlement price established on the exchange on which they are traded, if that settlement price reflects trading prior to the Valuation Time. If the settlement price established by the exchange reflects trading after the Valuation Time, then the last sales price prior to Valuation Time will be used. Money market instruments are valued at the reported net asset value.

c) Futures Contracts

Each Fund will enter into futures contracts to gain exposure to changes in the values of a commodity, an underlying index or a foreign currency. Upon entering into a contract, the Fund will deposit and maintain as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is effected. Pursuant to the contract, a Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and will be recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains and losses. When the contract is closed, the Fund will record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Due to timing differences as to when these gains or losses are recorded as opposed to when such gains or losses are received from or paid to the broker, an amount on the Statement of Financial Condition referred to as “Due from/to broker for futures” may be presented. As collateral for futures contracts, a Fund will maintain assets consisting of cash and cash equivalents (highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than three months). This collateral will be adjusted daily to reflect the market value of the purchase obligation for long futures contracts or the market value of the instrument underlying the contract, but not less than the market price at which the futures contract was established, for short futures contracts.

The risks inherent in the use of futures contracts include 1) adverse changes in the fair value of such instruments; 2) imperfect correlation between the price of futures contracts and movements in the price of the underlying commodity, index or foreign currency; 3) the possible absence of a liquid secondary market for any particular instrument at any time; 4) the possible need to defer closing out certain positions to avoid adverse tax consequences; and 5) the possible nonperformance by the counterparty under the terms of the contract.

d) Guarantees and Indemnifications

In the ordinary course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification provisions pursuant to which the Funds agree to indemnify third parties upon the occurrence of specified events. The Funds’ maximum exposure relating to these indemnification agreements is unknown. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses in connection with these provisions and believe the risk of loss is remote.

e) Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities during the reporting period of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

f) Federal Income Taxes

The Funds will be classified as partnerships for United States federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Funds will not incur United States federal income taxes. No provisions for federal income taxes have been made in the accompanying financial statements, as investors are individually responsible for their own income taxes, if any, on their allocable share of a Fund’s income, gain, loss, deductions and other items. Each Fund will furnish shareholders every year with tax information on IRS Schedule K-1 (Form 1065) and each U.S. shareholder is required to report on its U.S. federal income tax return its allocable share of income, gain, loss and deduction of a Fund.

3. OFFERING OF SHARES

Each Fund will continuously offer and redeem in blocks of 50,000 Shares (“Creation Units”). Only an authorized participant, an entity that has entered into an Authorized Participant Agreement with one or more of the Funds (“Authorized Participant”), may purchase and redeem Shares of the Fund and then only in Creation Units. Shares of the Funds are offered to Authorized Participants in Creation Units at each Fund’s respective net asset value per Share (“NAV”). Authorized Participants may then offer to the public, from time to time, Shares from any Creation

Unit they create at a per share market price that varies depending on, among other factors, the trading price of the Share of each Fund on the NYSE Arca, the NAV and the supply of and demand for the Shares at the time of the offer. Shares from the same Creation Unit may be offered at different times and may have different offering prices based on the above factors. Authorized Participants will not receive from any Fund, Sponsor, or any of their affiliates, any fee or other compensation with their sale of Shares to the public. The difference between the price paid by the Authorized Participant for a Share and the price paid to such Authorized Participant by an investor purchasing such Share may be deemed underwriting compensation.

Transaction fees payable to the Trust are imposed to compensate the Trust for the transfer and other transaction costs of a Fund associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units. There is a fixed and a variable component to the total transaction fee. A fixed transaction fee is applicable to each creation or redemption transaction, regardless of the number of creation units purchased or redeemed. In addition, a variable transaction fee equal to a percentage of the value of each creation unit purchased or redeemed is applicable to each creation or redemption transaction.

Effective December 29, 2014, the Trust terminated the offering of Shares of each Fund with the exception of the Direxion Daily Gold Bull 3X Shares of these eleven terminated Funds, only Shares of the Direxion Daily Gold Bear 3X Shares were made to the public at any time.

4. FEES AND EXPENSES

a) Organization and Offering Expenses

Expenses incurred in connection with organizing the Funds and the offering of the Shares upon commencement of its trading operations are paid by Rafferty Asset Management, LLC, the parent and sole owner of the Sponsor. Expenses incurred in connection with the continuous offering of Shares of the Funds after the commencement of its trading operations will be paid by the Funds. Rafferty Asset Management, LLC will also pay all expenses incurred by the Sponsor in connection with its organization and operation until the commencement of each Fund’s trading operations.

b) Expenses

Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund, while expenses attributable to more than one series of the Trust will be allocated among the respective operational Funds and are based on relative net assets or another appropriate basis.

c) Management Fee

Each Fund will pay the Sponsor a management fee, monthly in arrears, in an amount equal to 0.95% per annum of the average daily net asset value. The management fee will be paid in consideration of the Sponsor’s services as commodity pool operator, commodity trading advisor, and for managing the business and affairs of the Fund.

d) The Administrator

The Sponsor and the Trust, for itself and on behalf of each Fund, has appointed U.S. Bancorp Fund Services LLC (“USBFS”) as the administrator of the Funds, Sponsor, and the Trust on its own behalf and on behalf of each Fund. Under the supervision and direction of the Sponsor and the Trust, USBFS will prepare and file certain regulatory filings on behalf of the Funds. USBFS may also perform other services for the Funds as mutually agreed upon by the Sponsor, the Trust and USBFS from time to time. USBFS will also serve as the fund accountant and transfer agent of the Funds.

e) The Custodian

U.S. Bank N.A. (“U.S. Bank”) will serve as custodian of the Funds, and the Trust, on its own behalf and on behalf of each Fund. U.S. Bank will be responsible for the holding and safekeeping of assets delivered to it by the Funds, and performing various administrative duties in accordance with instructions delivered to U.S. Bank by the Funds.

f) The Distributor

Foreside Fund Services, LLC (“Foreside”), will serve as distributor of the Shares and will assist the Sponsor and the Administrator with certain functions and duties relating to distribution and marketing, including reviewing and approving marketing materials. Foreside will retain all marketing materials separately for each Fund. The Sponsor, on behalf of each Fund, will enter into a Distribution Services Agreement with Foreside.

g) Brokerage Commissions and Fees

Each Fund will pay to Jefferies Bache Commodities, LLC, which will serve as each Fund’s Futures Commission Merchant (“FCM” or “the Commodity Broker”), all brokerage commissions, including applicable exchange fees, National Futures Association fees, give-up fees, pit brokerage fees and other transaction related fees and expenses charged in connection with trading activities for each Fund’s investment in CFTC regulated investments. The Funds will bear other transaction costs including the effects of trading spreads and financing costs associated with the use of financial instruments, and costs relating to the purchase of U.S. Treasury Securities or similar high credit quality short-term fixed-income or similar securities. The Funds intend for their Shares to be offered in highly liquid markets and therefore expect costs relating to trading spreads will be low.

h) Routine Operational, Administrative and Other Ordinary Expenses

The Funds will be responsible to pay all of the routine operational, administrative and other ordinary expenses, including, but not limited to, fees and expenses of the administrator, custodian, transfer agent, fund accountant, audit, tax preparation, license fees, legal fees, ongoing SEC registration fees related to future required filings, filing fees, individual K-1 preparation and mailing fees, report preparation and mailing and expected expenses incurred in connection with the continuous offering of Shares of each Fund. The Sponsor may choose to waive a portion of these fees at their discretion. For the quarter ended December 31, 2014, the Sponsor waived $68,864 and $70,944 of fees in the Direxion Daily Gold Bull 3X Shares and Direxion Daily Gold Bear 3X Shares, respectively.

i) Non-Recurring Fees and Expenses

Each Fund will pay all of its non-recurring and extraordinary fees and expenses, if any, as determined by the Sponsor. Non-recurring and extraordinary fees and expenses are fees and expenses which are unexpected or unusual in nature, such as legal claims and liabilities and litigation costs or indemnification or other unanticipated expenses. Extraordinary fees and expenses also include material expenses which are not currently anticipated obligations of the Funds. Routine operational, administrative and other ordinary expenses are not deemed extraordinary expenses.

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Funds follow authoritative fair value accounting standards, which establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion in changes of valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels below:

•

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

•

Level 2 – Evaluated price based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

•

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the credit risk associated with investing in those securities.

The follow is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014:

Direxion Daily Gold Bull 3X Shares


	December 31, 2014			June 30, 2014
Short-Term Investments (Level 1)	$	2,589,400		$	3,482,297
*Other Financial Instruments (Level 1)**		(124,991	)		335,499

For further detail on each asset class, see Schedule of Investments.

There were no Level 2 or Level 3 securities as of December 31, 2014 or June 30, 2014.

*	Other financial instruments are futures contracts not reflected in the Schedule of Investments.

Futures contracts are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the instrument.

6. ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Funds follow authoritative standards of accounting for derivative instruments, which establish disclosure requirements for derivative instruments. These standards improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosures that enable investors to understand how and why a fund uses derivatives instruments, how derivatives instruments are accounted for and how derivative instruments affect a fund’s financial position and results of operations.

The Funds use futures contracts as part of their principal investment strategy to achieve their investment objective. For additional discussion on the risks associated with futures contracts refer to Note 2. As of December 31, 2014, the Direxion Daily Gold Bull 3X Shares was invested in futures contracts.

At December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, the fair value of derivatives instruments, by primary risk, were as follows:

7. OFFSETTING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The Funds may enter into master netting agreements or similar arrangements that allow for amounts owed between a Fund and the counterparty to be netted upon an early termination. However, a Fund does not offset the fair value amounts of the futures contract and the related collateral on the Statement of Financial Condition arising from futures contracts executed with the same counterparty under such master netting agreements or similar arrangement. The following table presents assets and liabilities available for offset represented in the Statement of Financial Condition to show the potential effect of master netting agreements or similar arrangements on a Fund’s financial condition as of December 31, 2014:

Liabilities:

8. RISKS

Below are some of the principal risks of investing in the Funds. Please refer to the Funds’ prospectus for a full discussion.

Intra-Day Investment Risk: The Funds seek daily investment results, which should not be equated with seeking an investment goal for shorter than a day. Thus, an investor who purchases Fund shares after the close of the markets on one trading day and before the close of the markets on the next trading day will likely have more, or less, than the target investment exposure to the benchmark, depending upon the movement of the benchmark from the end of one trading day until the time of purchase. If the benchmark moves in a direction favorable to the Fund, the Fund’s net assets will rise by the same amount as the Fund’s exposure. Conversely, if the benchmark moves in a direction adverse to the Fund, the Fund’s net assets will decline by the same amount as the Fund’s exposure. Since each Fund starts each trading day with exposure to the benchmark equal to its target (i.e. 300% or -300%, as applicable), a change in both exposure and the net assets of a Fund by the same amount results in a change in the comparative relationship of the two.

Compounding and Market Volatility Risk: There can be no guarantee that a Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation with its investment objective relative to its benchmark. A failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent a Fund from achieving its investment objective. A number of factors may adversely affect a Fund’s correlation with its benchmark, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, costs associated with the Funds’ use of leveraged investment techniques, income items and accounting standards. A Fund may be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or under-exposed to its benchmark. Each Leveraged Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio daily to keep leverage consistent with each Fund’s daily investment objective. Each Fund does not attempt to, and should not be expected to, provide returns which are a multiple of the return of its benchmark for periods other than a single day. Each Fund rebalances its portfolio on a daily basis, increasing exposure in response to that day’s gains or reducing exposure in response to that day’s losses. This means that for a period longer than one day, the pursuit of daily goals may result in daily leveraged compounding for the Funds. It also means that the return of a benchmark over a period of time greater than one day multiplied by the Fund’s daily target generally will not equal the Fund’s performance over that same period. As a result, over time, the cumulative percentage increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s portfolio may diverge significantly from the cumulative percentage increase or decrease in the multiple of the return of the Fund’s underlying benchmark due to the compounding effect of losses and gains on the returns of the Fund. The effect of compounding becomes more pronounced on the Fund’s performance as the Index experiences volatility.

Counterparty Risk: The Funds may invest in financial instruments involving counterparties for the purpose of attempting to gain exposure to a particular commodity or currency. The Funds will use counterparty agreements to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized in particular predetermined investments or instruments. The Funds will not enter into any agreement involving a counterparty unless the Sponsor believes that the other party to the transaction is creditworthy. The use of swap agreements involves risks that are different from those associated with ordinary futures transactions. For example, the Funds bear the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a swap agreement counterparty. In addition, the Funds may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of counterparties, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit risk. Swap agreements and other counterparty instruments also may be considered to be illiquid. Further, there is a risk that no suitable counterparties will be willing to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the Funds and, as a result, the Funds may not be able to achieve their investment objectives.

Leverage Risk: The Leveraged Funds use leveraged investment techniques in seeking to achieve their respective investment objectives. Leverage should cause a Leveraged Fund to lose more money in market environments adverse to its daily investment objectives than a Fund that does not employ leverage, which could result in the total loss of an investor’s investment.

Commodity Risk: An investment in a commodity fund is subject to risks associated with its applicable benchmark commodity. Changes in the commodity markets due to new commodity-linked instruments being available, large purchases or sales of commodities by world governments, supply and demand for a commodity or other market or political factors may affect the price of a commodity. Such price movement may, in turn, negatively affect the performance of a commodity fund.

Currency Risk: An investment in a currency fund is subject to risks associated with its applicable benchmark currency. Debt and trade deficit levels of relevant foreign countries, interest rates, inflation rates or other market or political factors may affect the price of a currency-related investment. Such price movement may, in turn, negatively affect the performance of a currency fund.

9. TERMINATION

Each Fund’s Shares will be offered on a continuous basis and the offering is not expected to terminate until three years from the date of the prospectus, unless suspended or terminated at any earlier time for certain reasons specified in the prospectus or extended as permitted under the rules under the Securities Act of 1933. The Trust or a Fund may be dissolved at any time and for any reason by the Sponsor with written notice to the shareholders.

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Funds have adopted authoritative standards for accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the statement of financial condition date but before the statement of financial condition are issued or are available to be issued. These standards require the Funds to recognize in the statement of financial condition the effects of all recognized subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the statement of financial condition. For nonrecognized subsequent events that must be disclosed to keep the financial statements from being misleading, the Funds are required to disclose the nature of the event as well as an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. On December 29, 2014, the previously defined Terminated Series began the process of liquidating their assets. As of the date of this filing, the assets of the Terminated Series remained as a payable to the Sponsor. These assets will be distributed to the Sponsor at a future date to meet any final obligations of the Terminated Series.

Introduction

Direxion Shares ETF Trust II was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on July 12, 2010 and is currently organized into twelve separate series (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”): Direxion Daily Gold Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Gold Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Silver Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Silver Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Japanese Yen Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Japanese Yen Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Dollar Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Dollar Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Euro Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Euro Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Gold Bear 1X Shares and Direxion Daily Silver Bear 1X Shares. Each series of the Trust listed above issues common units of beneficial interest which represent units of fractional undivided beneficial interest in and ownership of that respective Fund (“Shares”).

Each Fund’s Shares will be offered separately. The Shares of each Fund will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE Arca”). As of December 31, 2014, each of the Funds had seed capital of $1,000, but only two of the Funds, Direxion Daily Gold Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Gold Bear 3X Shares (“Gold 3X Funds”), commenced trading on the NYSE Arca on April 10, 2014. Effective December 29, 2014, the Direxion Daily Gold Bear 3X Shares began the process of liquidating its net assets. For the quarter ended December 31, 2014 other than the Gold 3X Funds, no other Funds had commenced operations.

Direxion Asset Management, LLC (the “Sponsor”) serves as the Trust’s commodity pool operator with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) and is a member of the National Futures Association (“NFA”). Wilmington Trust Company serves as the Trustee of the Trust (the “Trustee”). The Funds are commodity pools, as defined under the Commodity Exchange Act (the “CEA”) and the applicable regulations of the CFTC are operated by the Sponsor. The Trust is not an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Each Fund seeks to provide daily leveraged investment results (before fees and expenses) which correspond to the performance of a particular index, commodity or currency on a given day. Groups of Funds are collectively referred to in the quarterly report on Report 10-Q in several different ways. The Funds with the word “Bull” in their name attempt to provide daily leveraged investment results (before fees and expenses) that correlate positively to the return of an index or benchmark. The Funds with the word “Bear” in their name attempt to provide daily leveraged investment results that correlate negatively to the return of an index or benchmark.

Each Fund intends to obtain exposure to its benchmark by taking long or short positions in futures contracts on its underlying commodity or currency, as applicable. In the event position accountability rules or position limits are reached with respect to the futures contracts, the Sponsor may, in its commercially reasonable judgment, cause the effected Fund to obtain exposure to its benchmark through cash-settled, exchanged-traded swaps and other over-the-counter transactions that are based on the price of the futures contracts (“Financial Instruments”), if such instruments tend to exhibit trading prices or returns that correlate with the related futures contract and will further the investment objective of such Fund.

Each Fund seeks investment results for a single day only, not for longer periods. A “single day” is measured from the time a Fund calculates its respective net asset value per Share to the time of the Fund’s next NAV calculation. This is different from most exchange-traded funds and means that the return of such Fund for a period longer than a single trading day will be the result of each day’s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ from -1 time, -3 times or 3 times of the return of the index to which such Fund is benchmarked for that period. In periods of higher market volatility, the volatility of the benchmark may be at least as important to a Fund’s return for the period as the return of the benchmark. These Funds are riskier than similarly benchmarked exchange-traded funds that are not leveraged or inversed. Accordingly, these Funds may not be suitable for all investors and should be used only by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking daily leveraged, inverse or inverse leveraged investment results. Shareholders who invest in the Funds should actively manage and monitor their investments, as frequently as daily.

Each Fund continuously offers and redeems its Shares in blocks of 50,000 Shares. Only Authorized Participants may purchase and redeem Shares from a Fund and then only in Creation Units. An Authorized Participant is an entity that has entered into an Authorized Participant Agreement with one or more of the Funds. Shares of the Funds are offered to Authorized Participants in Creation Units at each Fund’s respective NAV. Authorized Participants may then offer to the public, from time to time, Shares from any Creation Unit they create at a per-Share market price that varies depending on, among other factors, the trading price of the Shares of each Fund on the NYSE Arca, the NAV and the supply of and demand for the Shares at the time of the offer. Shares from the same Creation Unit may be offered at different times and may have different offering prices based upon the above factors. The form of Authorized Participant Agreement and related Authorized Participant Handbook set forth the terms and conditions under which an Authorized Participant may purchase or redeem a Creation Unit. Authorized Participants do not receive from any Fund, the Sponsor, or any of their affiliates, any underwriting fees or compensation in connection with their sale of Shares to the public.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

A significant portion of the NAV of each Fund is likely to be held in cash and/or U.S. Treasury Securities or other high credit quality short-term fixed-income or similar securities as described above. A portion of these investments may be posted as collateral in connection with swap agreements and/or used as margin for each Fund’s trading in futures. Margin requirements in respect of swap agreements are the subject of pending rule proposals issued by the CFTC and the U.S. bank regulators. It is possible that increased margin will apply to swap agreements upon adoption of the new requirements by these regulators. The percentage that U.S. Treasury bills and other short-term fixed-income securities will bear to the total net assets of each Fund will vary from period to period as the market values of the underlying swaps, futures contracts and forward contracts change. During the quarter ended December 31, 2014, each of the Funds earned interest income as follows:


	Interest Income Quarter Ended December 31, 2014
Direxion Daily Gold Bull 3X Shares	$	66
Direxion Daily Gold Bear 3X Shares*		109

*	Represents the period from October 1, 2014 to December 29, 2014.

Each Fund’s underlying futures and swaps, as the case may be, will be subject to periods of illiquidity because of market conditions, regulatory considerations and other reasons. For example, swaps are not presently traded on an exchange, do not have uniform terms and conditions, and in general are not transferable without the consent of the counterparty. Additionally, at the present time, most swaps are not centrally cleared and vary in terms of standardization, which may further contribute to their lack of liquidity. In the case of futures contracts, commodity exchanges may limit fluctuations in certain futures contract prices during a single day by regulations referred to as “daily limits.” During a single day, no trades may be executed at prices beyond the daily limit. Once the price of a futures contract has increased or decreased by an amount equal to the daily limit, such positions can neither be taken nor liquidated unless the traders are willing to effect trades at or within the limit. Futures contract prices have occasionally moved the daily limit for several consecutive days with little or no trading. Such market conditions could prevent a Fund from promptly liquidating its futures positions.

Entry into non-cleared swap agreements or forward contracts will further impact liquidity because these contractual agreements are executed on a principal-to-principal basis between private parties and therefore, the time required to offset or “unwind” these positions may be greater than that for cleared and/or exchange-traded instruments. This potential delay could be exacerbated to the extent a counterparty is not a United States person.

The large size of the positions in which a Fund may acquire increases the risk of illiquidity by both making their positions more difficult to liquidate and increasing the losses incurred while trying to do so. Any type of disruption or illiquidity will potentially be exacerbated due to the fact that the Funds will typically invest in Financial Investments related to one benchmark, which in many cases is highly concentrated.

Because each Fund will enter trade futures and may enter into swap agreements, its capital will be at risk due to changes in the value of these contracts (market risk) or the inability of counterparties to perform under the terms of the contracts (credit risk). Credit risk is greater for non-cleared swaps than for futures or cleared swaps.

Market Risk

Trading in futures contracts will involve each Fund entering into contractual commitments to purchase or sell a commodity underlying a Fund’s benchmark at a specified date and price, should it hold such futures contract into the deliverable period. Should a Fund enter into a contractual commitment to sell a physical commodity, it would be required to make delivery of that commodity at the contract price and then repurchase the contract at prevailing market prices or settle in cash. Since the repurchase price to which the value of a commodity can rise is unlimited, entering into commitments to sell commodities would expose a Fund to theoretically unlimited risk.

Each Fund’s exposure to market risk will be influenced by a number of factors including the liquidity of the markets in which the contracts are traded and the relationships among the contracts held. The inherent uncertainty of each Fund’s trading as well as the development of drastic market occurrences could ultimately lead to a loss of all or substantially all of investors’ capital. For more information, see “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Credit Risk

When a Fund enters into futures contracts, swap agreements or forward contract, the Fund will be exposed to credit risk that the counterparty to the contract will not meet its obligations.

The counterparty for futures contracts traded on exchanges is the clearing house associated with the particular exchange. In general, clearing houses are backed by their corporate members who may be required to share in the financial burden resulting from the nonperformance by one of their members and, as such, should significantly reduce this credit risk. In cases where the clearing house is not backed by the clearing members, it may be backed by a consortium of banks or other financial institutions.

Certain swap and forward agreements are contracted for directly with counterparties. There can be no assurance that any counterparty, clearing member or clearing house will meet its obligations to a Fund.

Forward agreements do not involve the delivery of assets at the onset of a transaction, but may be settled physically in the underlying asset if such contracts are held to expiration, particularly in the case of currency forwards. Thus, prior to settlement, if the counterparty to a forward contract defaults, a Fund’s risk of loss will generally consist of the net amount of payments that the Fund is contractually entitled to receive, if any. However, if physically settled forwards are held until expiration (presently, there is no plan to do this), at the time of settlement, a Fund may be at risk for the full notional value of the forward contracts depending on the type of settlement procedures used.

Swap agreements do not generally involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets either at the outset of a transaction or upon settlement. Accordingly, if the counterparty to a swap agreement defaults, the Fund’s risk of loss consists of the net amount of payments that the Fund is contractually entitled to receive, if any.

The Sponsor will attempt to minimize certain of these market and credit risks by normally:

•

executing and clearing trades with creditworthy counterparties, as determined by the Sponsor;

•

limiting the outstanding amounts due from counterparties of the Funds;

•

not posting margin directly with a counterparty;

•

limiting the amount of margin or premium posted at the FCM; and

•

ensuring that deliverable contracts are not held to such a date when delivery of an underlying asset could be called for.

The FCM for each Fund, in accepting orders for the purchase or sale of domestic futures contracts, will be required by CFTC regulations to separately account for and segregate as belonging to the Fund, all assets of the Fund relating to domestic futures trading, and the FCM will not be allowed to commingle such assets with other assets of the FCM.

On November 14, 2012, the CFTC proposed new regulations that would require enhanced customer protections, risk management programs, internal monitoring and controls, capital and liquidity standards, customer disclosures, and auditing and examination programs for FCMs. The proposed rules are intended to afford greater assurances to market participants that: customer segregated funds and secured amounts are protected; customers are provided with appropriate notice of the risks of futures trading and of the FCMs with which they may choose to do business; FCMs are monitoring and managing risks in a robust manner; the capital and liquidity of FCMs are strengthened to safeguard their continued operations; and the auditing and examination programs of the CFTC and the self-regulatory organizations (“SROs”) are monitoring the activities of FCMs in a thorough manner. The final regulations have not yet been adopted.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

As of December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, the Funds have not utilized, nor do they expect to utilize in the future, special purpose entities to facilitate off-balance sheet financing arrangements and have no loan guarantee arrangements or off balance sheet arrangements of any kind other than agreements entered into in the normal course of business, which may include indemnification provisions related to certain risks service providers undertake in performing services which are in the best interests of the Funds. While each Fund’s exposure under such indemnification provisions cannot be estimated, these general business indemnifications are not expected to have a material impact on a Fund’s financial position.

Each Fund’s contractual obligations are with the Sponsor, certain service providers and with any counterparty to a Financial Instrument. Management fee payments made to the Sponsor are calculated as a fixed percentage of each Fund’s NAV. As such, the Sponsor cannot anticipate the amount of payments that will be required under these arrangements for future periods as NAVs are not known until a future date. Historical expenses are shown in the Statement of Income and Expenses. The agreement with the Sponsor may be terminated by either party upon 30 days written notice to the other party.

Critical Accounting Policies

Preparation of the financial statements and related disclosures in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the application of appropriate accounting rules and guidance, as well as the use of estimates. The Sponsor’s application of these policies involves judgments and actual results may differ from the estimates used. Each Fund expects to have significant exposure to Financial Instruments. The Funds hold a significant portion of their assets in futures, swaps or forward contracts, all of which are recorded on a trade date basis and at fair value in the financial statements, with changes in fair value reported in the Statement of Income and Expenses. Assets of each Fund not invested in Financial Instruments will be invested in cash and/or U.S. Treasury Securities or other high credit quality short-term fixed-income or similar securities (such as shares of money market funds, bank deposits, bank money market accounts, certain variable rate-demand notes and repurchase agreements collateralized by government securities, whether denominated in U.S. or the applicable foreign currency with respect to a Currency Fund) or other interest-bearing securities approved by the CFTC for investment of customer funds, each of which will be held at fair value.

The use of fair value to measure Financial Instruments, with related unrealized gains or losses recognized in earnings in each period, is fundamental to the Trust’s and the Funds’ financial statements. The fair value of a Financial Instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the

measurement date (the exit price). For financial reporting purposes, the Gold, Silver, Yen and Euro Funds value transactions based upon the daily last sale price value occurring on or before 4:00 p.m. E.T. of a standard futures contract for the current active month published by the CME on or before 4:00 p.m. E.T. The Dollar Funds value transactions based upon the daily last sale price value occurring on or before 4:00 p.m. E.T. of a standard futures contract for the current active month published by the ICE on or before 4:00 p.m. E.T. (the “Daily Last Sale Value”). Accordingly, the investment valuations in these financial statements may differ from those used in the calculation of the Funds’ final creation/redemption NAV.

Short-term investments are valued at amortized cost which approximates fair value for daily NAV purposes. For financial reporting purposes, short-term investments are valued at their market price using information provided by a third-party pricing service or market quotations.

Derivatives (e.g., futures, swaps and forward agreements) are generally valued using independent sources and/or agreements with counterparties or other procedures as determined by the Sponsor. Futures contracts, except for those entered into by the Gold, Silver, Yen, Euro and Dollar Funds, are generally valued at the last settled price on the applicable exchange on which that future trades. For financial reporting purposes, all futures contracts are valued at last settled price. If there was no sale on that day, and for non-exchange-traded derivatives, the Sponsor may in its sole discretion choose to determine a fair value price as the basis for determining the market value of such position for such day. Such fair value prices would be generally determined based on available inputs about the current value of the underlying financial instrument or commodity and would be based on principles that the Sponsor deems fair and equitable so long as such principles are consistent with normal industry standards. When market closing prices are not available, the Sponsor may fair value an asset of a Fund pursuant to the policies the Sponsor has adopted, which are consistent with normal industry standards.

The Funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. See Note 5 in the Financial Statements in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for further information. Discounts on short-term securities purchased are amortized and reflected as Interest Income in the Statement of Income and Expenses. Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gain (loss) on open positions are determined on a specific identification basis and recognized in the Statement of Income and Expenses in the period in which the contract is closed or the changes occur, respectively.

Each Fund pays its respective brokerage commissions, including applicable exchange fees, NFA fees, give-up fees, pit brokerage fees and other transaction related fees and expenses charged in connection with trading activities for each Fund’s investment in U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulated investments. Brokerage commissions on futures contracts are recognized on a half-turn basis.

Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the 1933 Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Trust has elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. The Trust and the Funds’ financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

Direxion Daily Gold Bull 3X Shares

During the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2014, the decrease in the Fund’s NAV resulted from the cumulative effect of the Fund seeking daily investment results (before fees and expenses) that correspond to 300% of the daily performance of the Gold Benchmark Future Contract. Specifically, the benchmark for the Gold Funds is the daily last sale price value occurring on or before 4:00 p.m. E.T. of a standard futures contract for the current active month for 100 troy ounces of gold, specified by the CME to be of a grade and quality that shall assay to a minimum of 995 fineness, as measured in U.S. Dollars and cents per troy ounce with a minimum fluctuation of $0.10 per troy ounce. For the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2014, the Fund’s daily performance had a statistical correlation over 0.99 to 3x of the inverse of the daily performance of its benchmark.

The Fund’s per Share NAV decrease of -10.03% for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, was primarily due to depreciation in the value of the assets of the Fund during the quarter. During the quarter ended December 31, 2014, the Fund’s per Share NAV reached its high for the quarter on October 21, 2014 at $33.24 per Share and reached its low for the quarter on November 5, 2014 at $25.29 per Share. During the quarter ended December 31, 2014, the Gold Bull 3X Fund returned -10.03% while the benchmark’s return decreased 2.20%. This is a result of the Gold Bull 3X Fund attempt to provide daily leveraged investment results (before fees and expenses) that correlate to three times (300%) of the daily return of its target benchmark.

The Fund’s per Share NAV decrease of -33.71% for the six months ended December 31, 2014, was primarily due to depreciation in the value of the assets of the Fund during the quarter. During the six months ended December 31, 2014, the Fund’s per Share NAV reached its high for the period on July 11, 2014 at $41.90 per Share and reached its low for the quarter on November 5, 2014 at $25.29 per Share. During the six months ended December 31, 2014, the Gold Bull 3X Fund returned -33.71% while the benchmark’s return decreased 11.08%. This is a result of the Gold Bull 3X Fund attempt to provide daily leveraged investment results (before fees and expenses) that correlate to three times (300%) of the daily return of its target benchmark.

Direxion Daily Gold Bear 3X Shares

The Direxion Daily Gold Bear 3X Shares commenced liquidation procedures on December 29, 2014. Prior to the Fund’s liquidation, the Fund sought daily investment results (before fees and expenses) that correspond to -300% of the daily performance of the Gold Benchmark Future Contract. Specifically, the benchmark for the Gold Funds is the daily last sale price value occurring on or before 4:00 p.m. E.T. of a standard futures contract for the current active month for 100 troy ounces of gold, specified by the CME to be of a grade and quality that shall assay to a minimum of 995 fineness, as measured in U.S. Dollars and cents per troy ounce with a minimum fluctuation of $0.10 per troy ounce. For the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2014, the Fund’s daily performance had a statistical correlation over 0.99 to 3x of the inverse of the daily performance of its benchmark.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Quantitative Disclosure

For the quarter ended December 31, 2014 other than the Gold 3X Funds no other Funds had commenced operations. Effective December 29, 2014, the Direxion Daily Gold Bear 3X Shares liquidated its assets.

Commodity Price Sensitivity

The Direxion Daily Gold Bull 3X Shares are exposed to commodity price risk through its holdings of Financial Instruments. The following table provides information about each Fund which were sensitive to commodity price risk. As of December 31, 2014, the Fund’s positions were as follows:

Futures Positions as of December 31, 2014

Direxion Gold Bull 3X Fund


Contract	Long or Short	Expiration		Contracts		Valuation Price		Contract Multiplier		Notional Amount at Value
Gold Futures (COMEX)	Long		February 2015		65	$	1,184.10		100	$	8,046,739
Mini Gold Futures (ICE)	Long		February 2015		13	$	1,184.10		33.2	$	500,197

Gold Bull 3X Fund

The December 31, 2014 long futures notional values are calculated by multiplying the number of contracts held times the valuation price times the contract multiplier. The long notional values will increase (decrease) proportionally with increases (decreases) in the price of the futures contract, as applicable. Additional gains (losses) associated with these contracts will be equal to any such subsequent increase (decreases) in notional values, before accounting for spreads or transaction or financing costs. The Fund will generally attempt to adjust its positions in Financial Instruments each day to have $3.00 of long exposure to the Index for every $1.00 of net assets. While the above information properly represents the then current commodity price risk and is adequate for estimating the following day’s gains or losses, estimates of future values over longer periods should take the Fund’s daily rebalancing efforts into account. Future period returns, before fees and expenses, cannot be estimated simply by estimating the return of the Index and multiplying by three.

See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding performance for periods longer than a single day.

Qualitative Disclosure

As described above in Item 2 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, it is the investment objective of each Bull and Bear Fund to seek daily investment results, before fees and expenses, which correspond to a multiple, the inverse or an inverse multiple of the daily performance, whether positive or negative, of its corresponding benchmark. The Bull 3X Funds attempt to provide daily leveraged investment results (before fees and expenses) that correlate positively to three times (300%) the daily return of its target benchmark. The Bear 3X Funds attempt to provide daily leveraged investment results (before fees and expenses) that correlate to three times the inverse (-300%) of the daily return of its target benchmark. None of the Funds seek to achieve their stated objective over a period greater than one day.

Each Fund intends to obtain exposure to its benchmark by taking long or short positions in futures contracts on its underlying commodity or currency, as applicable. In the event position accountability rules or position limits are reached with respect to the futures contracts, the Sponsor may, in its commercially reasonable judgment, cause the effected Fund to obtain exposure to its benchmark through cash-settled, exchanged-traded swaps and other over-the-counter transactions that are based on the price of the futures contracts (“Financial Instruments”), if such instruments tend to exhibit trading prices or returns that correlate with the related futures contract and will further the investment objective of such Fund.

may be at least as important to a Fund’s return for the period as the return of the benchmark. These Funds are riskier than similarly benchmarked exchange-traded funds that are not leveraged or inversed. Accordingly, these funds may not be suitable for all investors and should be used only by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking daily leveraged, inverse or inverse leveraged investment results. Shareholders who invest in the Funds should actively manage and monitor their investments, as frequently as daily.

Primary Market Risk Exposure

The primary market risks that the Funds are exposed to depend on each Fund’s investment objective and corresponding benchmark as described above in the Primary Investment Strategies. Each Fund’s exposure to market risk is further influenced by a number of factors, including the liquidity of the markets in which the contracts are traded and the relationships among the contracts held. The inherent uncertainty of each Fund’s trading as well as the development of drastic market occurrences could ultimately lead to a loss of all or substantially all of investors’ capital.

Trading in certain futures contracts or forward agreements involves each Fund entering into contractual commitments to purchase or sell a commodity underlying a Fund’s benchmark at a specified date and price, should it hold such futures contracts or forward agreements into the deliverable period. Should a Fund enter into a contractual commitment to sell a physical commodity, it is required to make delivery of that commodity at the contract price and then repurchase the contract at prevailing market prices or settle in cash. Since the repurchase price to which the value of a commodity can rise is unlimited, entering into commitments to sell commodities would expose a Fund to theoretically unlimited risk.

Managing Market Risks

Each Fund seeks to remain fully exposed to the corresponding benchmark at the levels implied by the relevant investment objective (-3x, or 3x), regardless of market direction or sentiment. At the close of the relevant markets each trading day (see NAV calculation times), each Fund will seek to position its portfolio so that its exposure to its benchmark is consistent with its investment objective. No attempt is made to adjust market exposure in order to avoid changes to the benchmark that would cause the Funds to lose value. Factors common to all Funds that may require portfolio re-positioning are create/redeem activity and index rebalances.

The Funds seek daily investment results, which should not be equated with seeking an investment goal for shorter than a day. Thus, an investor who purchases Fund shares after the close of the markets on one trading day and before the close of the markets on the next trading day will likely have more, or less, than the target investment exposure to the benchmark, depending upon the movement of the benchmark from the end of one trading day until the time of purchase. If the benchmark moves in a direction favorable to the Fund the Fund’s net assets will rise by the same amount as the Fund’s exposure. Conversely, if the benchmark moves in a direction adverse to the Fund, the Fund’s net assets will decline by the same amount as the Fund’s exposure. Since each Fund starts each trading day with exposure to the benchmark equal to its target (i.e. 300%, -300%), a change in both exposure and the net assets of a Fund by the same amount results in a change in the comparative relationship of the two. As an example (using simplified numbers), if a Leveraged Bull Fund had $100 in net assets at the market close on Day 1, it would seek $300 of exposure to the next-trading-day’s benchmark performance. If the benchmark rose by 1% on the following trading day, the exposure of the Fund will have risen by 1% to $303 and the net assets will have risen by that $3 gain to $103. With net assets of $103 and exposure of $303, an investor at that point would be receiving 294% exposure of her investment instead of 300%.

There can be no guarantee that a Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation with its investment objective relative to its benchmark. A failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent a Fund from achieving its investment objective. A number of factors may adversely affect a Fund’s correlation with its benchmark, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, costs associated with the Funds’ use of leveraged investment techniques, income items and accounting standards. A Fund may be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or under- exposed to its benchmark. Each Leveraged Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio daily to keep leverage consistent with each Fund’s daily investment objective. Each Fund does not attempt to, and should not be expected to, provide returns which are a multiple of the return of its benchmark for periods other than a single day. Each Fund rebalances its portfolio on a daily basis, increasing exposure in response to that day’s gains or reducing exposure in response to that day’s losses. This means that for a period longer than one day, the pursuit of daily goals may result in daily leveraged compounding for the Funds. It also means that the return of a benchmark over a period of time greater than one day multiplied by the Fund’s daily target generally will not equal the Fund’s performance over that same period. As a result, over time, the cumulative percentage increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s portfolio may diverge significantly from the cumulative percentage increase or decrease in the multiple of the return of the Fund’s underlying benchmark due to the compounding effect of losses and gains on the returns of the Fund. The effect of compounding becomes more pronounced on the Fund’s performance as the Index experiences volatility.

The Funds may invest in financial instruments involving counterparties for the purpose of attempting to gain exposure to a particular commodity or currency. The Funds will use counterparty agreements to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized in particular predetermined investments or instruments. The Funds will not enter into any agreement involving a counterparty unless the Sponsor believes that the other party to the transaction is creditworthy. The use of swap agreements involves risks that are different from those associated with ordinary futures transactions. For example, the Funds bear the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a swap agreement counterparty. In addition, the Funds may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of counterparties, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit risk. Swap agreements and other counterparty instruments also may be considered to be illiquid. Further, there is a risk that no suitable counterparties will be willing to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the Funds and, as a result, the Funds may not be able to achieve their investment objectives.

Each Fund is subject to market risks that can affect the value of its shares. These risks include political, regulatory, market and economic developments, including developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. A 3X Bull Fund typically would lose value on a day when its underlying benchmark declines. A 3X Bear Fund typically would lose value on a day when its underlying benchmark increases.

Commodity Price Sensitivity

With regard to the Commodity Funds, several factors may affect the price of a commodity underlying a Commodity Fund, and in turn, the Financial Instruments and other assets, if any, owned by such a Fund, including, but not limited to:

•

The recent proliferation of commodity linked exchange traded products and their unknown effect on the commodity markets.

•

Large purchases or sales of physical commodities by the official sector. Governments and large institutions have large commodities holdings or may establish major commodities positions. For example, a significant portion of the aggregate world gold holdings is owned by governments, central banks and related institutions. If one or more of these institutions decides to buy or sell any commodity in amounts large enough to cause a change in world prices, the price of Shares based upon a benchmark related to that commodity will be affected.

•

Other political factors. In addition to the organized political and institutional trading-related activities described above, peaceful political activity such as imposition of regulations or entry into trade treaties, as well as political disruptions caused by societal breakdown, insurrection and/or war may greatly influence commodities prices.

•

Significant increases or decreases in the available supply of a physical commodity due to natural or technological factors. Natural factors would include depletion of known cost-effective sources for a commodity or the impact of severe weather on the ability to produce or distribute the commodity. Technological factors, such as increases in availability created by new or improved extraction, processing equipment and methods, or decreases caused by failure or unavailability of processing equipment, also materially influence the supply of commodities.

•

Significant increases or decreases in the demand for a physical commodity due to various factors. Factors would include jewelers’ use of gold in their items, or technological factors that include such developments as substitutes for industrial commodities.

•

A significant increase or decrease in commodity hedging activity by commodity producers. Should there be an increase or decrease in the level of hedge activity of commodity producing companies, countries and/or organizations, it could cause a change in world prices of any given commodity, causing the price of Shares based upon a benchmark related to that commodity to be affected.

•

A significant change in the attitude of speculators and investors towards a commodity. Should the speculative community take a negative or positive view towards any given commodity, it could cause a change in world prices of any given commodity, the price of Shares based upon a benchmark related to that commodity will be affected.

The impact of changes in the price of a physical commodity will affect investors differently depending upon the Fund in which investors invest. Decreases in the price of an underlying commodity will negatively impact the performance of Shares of a 3X Bull Fund and increases in the price of an underlying commodity will negatively impact the performance of Shares of a 3X Bear Fund.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Trust and each Fund maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in the Trust’s periodic reports filed or submitted by Rule 13a – 15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

The duly appointed officers of the Trust, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, who perform functions equivalent to those of a principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Trust and Funds have evaluated the effectiveness of the Trust’s and each Fund’s disclosure controls and procedures and have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures of the Trust and each Fund have been effective as of September 30, 2014 covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure information required to be disclosed in the reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Trust’s or the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2014, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Trust’s or the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting.

Certifications

The certifications by the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer of the Trust required by Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which are furnished as exhibits to this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, apply both to the Trust taken as a whole and each Fund, and the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer of the Trust are certifying both as to the Trust taken as a whole and each Fund.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings.

There have been no material administrative, civil or criminal action, existing or concluded filed against the Trust as of the quarter end. Also there have been no material administrative, civil or criminal action, existing or concluded, as of the quarter end of the Trust, that have been filed against the Sponsor. Daniel D. O’Neill, a principal of the Sponsor, was named as a defendant in a purported class action lawsuit filed on September 17, 2009. The plaintiff, Evan Stoopler, filed a putative class action against several defendants, including Direxion Shares ETF Trust (“ETF Trust”) and Rafferty Asset Management, LLC (“Rafferty”) – both affiliates of the Sponsor – and the Sponsor’s Managing Director, Daniel D. O’Neill. The action was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Stoopler, on Behalf of Himself and All Other Similarly Situated v. Direxion Shares ETC Trust et al., 09-CV-8011-RJH. Two other largely identical lawsuits have since been filed by other plaintiffs, Milton Pfeiffer, on Behalf of Himself and All Other Similarly Situated v. Direxion Shares ETF Trust, et al., S.D.N.Y. 09-CV-8375 (RJH), and Thomas C. Longman on Behalf of Himself and All Other Similarly Situated v. Direxion Shares ETF Trust, et al., S.D.N.Y. 09-CV-8459 (RJH).

The lawsuits are purportedly brought on behalf of persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired shares in the Direxion Daily Financial Bear 3X Shares, a series of the ETF Trust. The complaints allege that the defendants violated Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. § 77k and 15 U.S.C. § 77o, respectively.

More particularly, the complaints allege that the ETF Trust’s registration statement contained incomplete and/or misleading information in that it failed to clearly disclose that, while the fund is designed to generate returns that approximate three times the inverse of the performance of its target benchmark on a daily basis, for longer time horizons, the fund’s performance differs substantially and unpredictably from three times the inverse of the performance of the target benchmark. The complaints additionally appear to suggest that the fund’s registration statement failed adequately to disclose that the fund may be unsuitable for most retail investors. The complaints allege that, as a result of these alleged disclosure deficiencies, investors suffered considerable damages.

On January 13, 2010, and February 17, 2010, respectively, plaintiffs Howard Schwack and William Lee filed putative class actions against the ETF Trust, Rafferty and Mr. O’Neill in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Schwack v. Direxion Shares ETF Trust et al., 10-cv-00271-RJH; Lee v. Direxion Shares ETF Trust et al., 10-cv-01273-UA. Each of these complaints raises allegations generally similar to those that were made in the earlier lawsuits except that they concern the Direxion Daily Energy Bear 3X Shares, a different series of the ETF Trust than the Direxion Daily Financial Bear 3X Shares that was the subject of earlier lawsuits.

On behalf of the putative class, the lawsuits sought various forms of relief against all defendants, including joint and several liability for compensatory damages, interest, punitive damages, costs and expenses plaintiffs incur in the action, including counsel fees and expert fees, recissory relief, and such equitable/injunctive or other relief as deemed appropriate by the Court.

On January 31, 2013, a settlement was filed with the Court. The settlement was between the ETF Trust, Rafferty, Mr. O’Neill and the other defendants and the plaintiffs including all those that qualified for the class definition defined in the settlement. The Court accepted the settlement on May 11, 2013.
