TSXUDDirexion Daily Semiconductors Top 5 Bull 2X ETF

UYGAProShares Ultra Financials

In short

TSXU Most leveraged chip plays spread across the whole industry. This one goes narrow: 2x the daily move of an equal-weighted index of five semiconductor giants, reset every single day.

UYG Listed in January 2007, a year before the banking crash, UYG targets 2x the daily move of the financial stocks in the S&P 500. A veteran of the leveraged shelf, priced at 0.93% with no fee waiver propping that number up.

Stated mandate

TSXU 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.

UYG UYG seeks pre-expense daily results equal to 2x the daily performance of the S&P Financial Select Sector Index. It is designed to provide magnified financials-sector exposure on a daily basis.

Why people hold it

  • TSXU Concentration is the point: the reference index holds five of the largest US-listed chip names, equal weighted, so no single mega-cap swallows the basket.direxion.com
  • Cost sits near the middle of the leveraged-bull pack: 0.97% net of a waiver through September 1, 2027, against 0.94% for broad-basket 2x semis fund USD.
  • Direxion built it as a matched pair, a 2X bull and a -2X bear on the same index, so traders can lean either way with identical mechanics.direxion.com
  • UYG One of the originals: on the tape since January 30, 2007, still running the same mandate of 2x the daily performance of the S&P Financial Select Sector Index.proshares.com
  • At 0.93% with no waiver doing the work, it sits near the median fee of its leveraged peer group and level with sibling ROM (0.93%). QLD is 0.89%, but net of a waiver through September 30, 2027.
  • The whole sector in one ticker: banks, insurers and capital-markets firms from the S&P 500, roughly 80 names, geared daily.proshares.com
  • Stands in the top tier of the leveraged bull funds we grade, a group of close to a hundred tickers.

Worth knowing

  • TSXU The 2x target applies to one day. Hold longer and each day's return compounds off the last, so multi-day results can drift well away from 2x the index.direxion.com
  • Five holdings, no diversification cushion. The fund is non-diversified, and one chip name's rough session moves the entire portfolio.direxion.com
  • That 0.97% is a waived figure: gross runs 5.11%, with the waiver in place through September 1, 2027.
  • UYG The 2x target is a one-day target and resets each day. Over longer holds the result comes from compounding daily moves, and in choppy markets that can land well off twice the index's return for the period.proshares.com
  • One sector, doubled. Financials move with rates, credit conditions and deal flow, and UYG amplifies that daily swing in both directions.
  • It changes hands less than the headline leveraged funds, so the spread is worth a look before you place an order.
