SOXLADirexion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X ETF

TPORDDirexion Daily Transportation Bull 3X ETF

In short

SOXL A 3x bet on chip stocks that resets every single day. Direxion launched it in 2010, long before AI made semiconductors the market's main event, and it is now one of the most heavily traded leveraged funds out there.

TPOR The only 3x way to trade trucks, rails, airlines and parcels in one ticker. Since 2022 TPOR has tracked a capped S&P transportation index of about 50 names instead of the 20-stock Dow Transports, and its leverage resets every single day.

Stated mandate

SOXL It is designed to deliver a daily result three times the performance of the NYSE Semiconductor Index, before fees and expenses, with the objective applying for a single day.

TPOR The fund seeks daily investment results equal to 300% of the S&P Transportation Select Industry FMC Capped Index before fees and expenses. This objective applies for a single day, not as a three-times cumulative return over longer periods.

Why people hold it

  • SOXL Cheap for the aisle it sits in: 0.75% net of a waiver through September 1, 2027 (0.91% gross), below the category median and under TQQQ's 0.78% net of a waiver through September 30, 2027.
  • The mandate is mechanical: 300% of the NYSE Semiconductor Index's daily move, before fees and expenses, across roughly 40 chip names. No stock picking, no manager discretion.direxion.com
  • A multi-billion-dollar fund that trades very actively, which matters for an instrument designed to be entered and exited inside a single session.
  • Trading since 2010, through several full chip cycles. That is a long run for a 3x product, and one of the stronger setups in its leveraged peer group.
  • TPOR Direxion's transportation slot is bull-only: TPOR is the lineup's single 3x ticker on rails, truckers, airlines and parcel carriers, with no bear twin beside it.direxion.com
  • Traded the 20-stock Dow Transports for S&P's capped transportation index in August 2022, spreading exposure across about 50 names with single-stock weight caps.sec.govspglobal.com
  • Costs 0.99% net of a waiver through September 1, 2027 (1.12% gross), near the 3x category median, though SOXL (0.75%, net of a waiver through September 1, 2027) runs cheaper.

Worth knowing

  • SOXL The 3x target applies to one day only. Daily reset plus compounding means multi-day results can diverge sharply from 3x the index, and choppy markets erode value.direxion.com
  • Semiconductors already swing hard. Tripling the daily move magnifies down days exactly as much as up days, so losses can pile up fast.
  • Roughly 40 stocks in a single US industry. No diversification cushion here, and the index itself has been renamed once (to the NYSE Semiconductor Index in 2023).sec.gov
  • TPOR The 300% target applies to a single day. Hold longer and returns compound off each close, so multi-day results can drift well away from 3x the index move.sec.gov
  • One of the smaller and thinner-traded names in the 3x bull group, so spreads and depth matter more here than with the category's household tickers.
  • On cost, tradability and staying power it sits in the lower reaches of its 3x bull peer group.
