Stockholders v Direxion Shares ETF Trust : Direxion Daily Financial Bear 3X Shares
Stockholders File Lawsuit Against Direxion Shares ETF Trust : Direxion Daily Financial Bear 3X Shares
According to a press release dated September 18, 2009, the complaint alleges the Defendants violated the Securities Act by failing to disclose that the FAZ Fund is altogether defective as a directional investment play. Defendants failed to disclose the following risks in the Company's Registration Statement: (1) inverse correlation between the FAZ Fund and the RFSI over time would only happen in the rarest of circumstances, and inadvertently, if at all; (2) the extent to which performance of the FAZ Fund would inevitably diverge from the performance of the RFSI -- i.e., the probability, if not certainty, of spectacular tracking error; (3) the severe consequences of high market volatility on the FAZ Fund's investment objectives and performance; (4) the severe consequences of inherent path dependency in periods of high market volatility on the FAZ Fund's performance; (5) the role the FAZ Fund plays in increasing market volatility, particularly in the last hour of trading; (6) the consequences of the FAZ Fund's daily hedge adjustment always going in the same direction as the movement of the underlying index, notwithstanding that it is an inverse leveraged ETF; (7) the FAZ Fund causes dislocations in the stock market; and (8) the FAZ Fund offers a seemingly straightforward way to obtain desired exposure, but such exposure is not attainable through the FAZ Fund.
The FAZ Fund seeks investment results that correspond to three times the inverse (-300%) daily performance of the Russell 1000 Financial Services Index ("RFSI"), which measures the performance of the financial services sector of the U.S. equity market.
