The changes are summarized as follows:

"We are very pleased to expand our relationship with Standard & Poor's, whose market indices have long been among the leaders in the industry," said Sylvia Jablonski, Managing Director at Direxion. "We feel that these S&P indices provide our investors with the most recognizable exposure to these underlying markets."

There is no guarantee that the Funds will meet their objectives.

Risks:

An investment in the ETFs involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. The ETFs are non-diversified and include risks associated with concentration risk that results from the Funds' investments in a particular industry or sector which can increase volatility. The use of derivatives such as futures contracts, forward contracts, options and swaps are subject to market risks that may cause their price to fluctuate over time. The Funds do not attempt to, and should not be expected to, provide returns which are a multiple of the return of the Index for periods other than a single day. For other risks including correlation, compounding, market volatility and specific risks regarding each sector, please read the prospectus.
