Our read on TECL
AA 2008-vintage survivor of the first 3x wave: TECL aims to deliver 300% of the Technology Select Sector Index's daily move. A one-day trade on megacap tech, re-cocked every night.
The fund seeks daily investment results equal to 300% of the performance of the Technology Select Sector Index.
Why people hold it
- 0.94% a year, under the typical leveraged fund's fee, and below ProShares' QLD (0.98%) even though TECL carries triple exposure rather than double.
- Running since 2008 and now a multi-billion-dollar, actively traded fund, so getting in and out is rarely the hard part of the trade.
- The target is plain: roughly 80 large-cap tech names in the S&P 500's technology sector index (IXT), not a hand-picked basket.direxion.com
- Among the 100-plus leveraged bull funds we track, this sits in the top tier for cost and tradability combined.
Worth knowing
- The 3x math resets daily. Hold past a day and your result follows tech's path, not just its start and end points; choppy stretches grind returns down.direxion.com
- One sector, tripled. Concentration and leverage stack, so a rough day for megacap tech lands three times as hard here.
- Cheap for leverage is still expensive in absolute terms: 0.94% versus pennies for a plain tech index fund, charged whichever way the sector moves.

TECL Risk
This fund targets a multiple of the daily move of its index and resets daily. Hold it longer than one reset and compounding makes the return diverge from that target. In choppy markets it can lose value even when the index ends flat.
- 75.8%
How it’s calculated: standard deviation
The sample standard deviation of monthly total returns, multiplied by the square root of 12.
Uses up to 36 complete months, with at least 12 required. Total returns include reinvested distributions.
- 1.05
How it’s calculated: Sharpe ratio
Subtract each month’s Treasury-bill return from the fund’s monthly total return.
Divide the average of those excess returns by their sample standard deviation, then multiply by the square root of 12.
Uses up to 36 complete months, with at least 12 required. Each month uses the Treasury yield quoted at the end of the previous month.
- −78.0%
How it’s calculated: maximum drawdown
The largest percentage decline from an earlier peak, using total returns with reinvested distributions.

- 4.86
