Direxion Commodity Trends Strategy Fund


A Long/Short Commodity Fund

Why Commodities are a Viable Alternative Investment Opportunity...

In today's challenging market environment, investors are continually looking for investment options that might help them to diversify their investment portfolios, while mitigating the effects of market volatility. Many financial professionals who seek to reduce the impact of market downturns, turn to investments with a low correlation to traditional investment strategies.

Commodity-based strategies are an alternative investment option to which financial professionals are increasingly turning. These strategies seek to attain low-correlated returns and may help to achieve greater diversification and reduced downside risk in equity and fixed income portfolios. Additionally, financial professionals have found that this asset class can be an effective hedge against inflation; and an attractive investment option when global demand and prices of commodities surge.
