LINT vs TSMG

LINTBDirexion Daily INTC Bull 2X ETF

TSMGALeverage Shares 2x Long TSM Daily ETF

In short

LINT Two times Intel's daily move, reset every night, from the issuer that made leveraged ETFs a day-trader staple. One stock, one lever, no index to hide behind.

TSMG Two times TSM, one day at a time. TSMG aims for 200% of Taiwan Semiconductor's daily move, no margin account required, at 0.75% a year, below what most leveraged single-stock funds charge.

Stated mandate

LINT The fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, equal to 200% of the performance of Intel Corporation common shares.

TSMG The fund seeks daily investment results equal to 200% of the daily performance of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd stock, before fees and expenses.

Why people hold it

• LINT The mandate is one line: 200% of INTC's daily move, before fees. Direxion gets there mostly through swap agreements and rebalances the exposure daily.sec.gov
• 0.97% net (0.99% gross, net of a waiver through September 1, 2027), near the category median for leveraged single-stock funds.
• 2x, not 3x. The nightly reset still compounds, but the daily swings are half those of a triple-leveraged wrapper on the same stock.direxion.com
• Hugs its 2x daily target closely, one of the stronger implementations on the leveraged single-stock shelf.

• TSMG Charges 0.75% a year, undercutting the 0.96% on Direxion's 2x single-stock funds such as AAPU and GGLL.leverageshares.com
• The milder gear on the leveraged shelf: it targets double TSM's daily move, not triple.leverageshares.com
• Leverage arrives inside a regular 1940 Act ETF. No margin agreement, no lender, and your exposure is capped at what you put in.leverageshares.com
• Hits its stated daily target tightly, and rates among the stronger builds in a crowded field of 2x and 3x single-stock funds.

Worth knowing

• LINT Hold past the close and compounding takes over: in choppy stretches, returns can trail 2x Intel's move for the period, even if the stock lands back where it started.sec.gov
• One company, one industry. Intel earnings, foundry headlines and guidance cuts all land here at double speed, with nothing else in the basket to soften them.sec.gov
• Cheaper options exist among top-graded peers: OKTG at 0.75% and TSMG at 0.76%, neither relying on a waiver.

• TSMG The leverage resets every day. Hold longer and compounding takes over, so multi-day results can drift well away from twice TSM's move, especially in choppy markets.leverageshares.com
• One stock, one industry. Everything rides on Taiwan Semiconductor, doubled, so company-specific news lands twice as hard.
• Young and small: launched in January 2025, and it sits among the smaller, less heavily traded names on the leveraged shelf, which can widen spreads.
