Top Holdings (12)
What you're actually holding: Direxion daily-reset leveraged/inverse ETFs hold money-market cash collateral plus total-return swaps on the underlying index — they do NOT own the constituent stocks. The holdings below are the actual portfolio: cash funds (positive weights) plus index swaps whose negative notional delivers the inverse exposure. Because the swap notional is reset every day, compounding makes these unsuitable as multi-week hedges.
Cash collateral ≈ 116.8% of NAV · Short swap notional ≈ $4,866,150,638 · Issuer daily CSV
