Direxion Daily S&P Biotech Bull 3X Shares

LABU provides daily 3 times exposure to the S&P Biotechnology Select Industry Index.

The Direxion Daily S&P Biotech Bull 3x Shares ETF (LABU) is a high-risk, leveraged ETF that aims to yield three times the performance of the S&P Biotechnology Select Industry Index. The biotech sector is known for its volatility, which can significantly impact the performance of LABU. Trading LABU is challenging due to the unpredictable nature of the biotech sector and the path dependence of leveraged ETFs. Investors should use caution and consider alternative investment options.
