Our read on TSXU
DMost chip ETFs hand you thirty-odd names. This one tracks five, equal weighted at 20% apiece, and aims to double their move every single day. A short-horizon trading instrument with a reset button, not a buy-and-hold sleeve.
The Fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, equal to 200% of the performance of the NYSE Semiconductor Top 5 Equal Weight Index.
Why people hold it
- Mechanics are plain: it targets 200% of the daily move of the NYSE Semiconductor Top 5 Equal Weight Index. A 1% index day aims at 2%, in whichever direction the chips go.direxion.com
- The index is five chip giants at 20% each, reset to equal weight quarterly and reconstituted when a name falls out of the top five by market cap. Concentrated by design, and you can name every holding.direxion.com
- Equal weight keeps one mega-cap from running the whole basket, a different build from the modified cap-weighted chip benchmarks the large sector funds follow.direxion.comnasdaq.com
- Direxion runs a mirror bear fund (TSXD) on the identical index at -200% daily, so the same five-name basket is available from either side of the trade.direxion.com
Worth knowing
- It charges 5.11% a year against a 0.35% median for semiconductor ETFs. Unleveraged chip funds like CHPS (0.15%) and SOXQ (0.19%) cost a sliver of that.
- The 2X target resets daily. Hold past one session and compounding takes over, so results can diverge sharply from twice the index's return for that stretch, especially in choppy markets.direxion.com
- Launched in 2025, small, and among the lighter-traded names in the chip category, so bid-ask spreads and position sizing carry more weight than with the household chip ETFs.

TSXU 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.
