Investment Objective
Goal
To seek daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 300% of the inverse (or opposite) of the daily performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.
Investment Approach and Strategy
Strategy: The ETF employs a strategy of using derivatives, such as swaps, futures contracts, and options, to achieve its 3x leveraged inverse exposure to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index on a daily basis.
Composition The ETF primarily holds financial instruments such as swap agreements, futures contracts, and cash. It does not directly hold stocks.
Market Position

Total Net Assets (AUM): 80871620
Competitors
Key Competitors
- ProShares UltraShort MSCI Emerging Markets (EEV)
Competitive Landscape
The leveraged/inverse emerging markets ETF space is relatively concentrated. EDZ provides higher leverage (3x) than its main competitor, EEV (2x), which can lead to amplified gains or losses. EDZ's advantage is higher leverage, but its disadvantage is higher risk and potential decay.
Financial Performance
Historical Performance: Historical performance is highly volatile and depends on emerging market performance. Due to the leveraged nature and daily reset, long-term performance may deviate significantly from -3x the underlying index's performance.
Benchmark Comparison: Comparing EDZ's performance to -3x the MSCI Emerging Markets Index reveals how well it tracks its stated daily objective. Due to compounding effects, long term returns are expected to deviate significantly.
Expense Ratio: 1.32
Liquidity
Average Trading Volume
Average trading volume for EDZ is moderate, which can impact the ease of buying or selling shares.
Bid-Ask Spread
The bid-ask spread can be relatively wide, reflecting the ETF's leveraged nature and potentially higher trading costs.
Market Dynamics
Market Environment Factors
Emerging market economic growth, geopolitical stability, interest rate changes, and trade policies significantly impact EDZ. Global economic uncertainty can increase demand for inverse emerging market exposure.
Growth Trajectory
EDZ's growth is dependent on investor sentiment regarding emerging markets and their willingness to use leveraged inverse strategies. The ETF's AUM can fluctuate significantly with market volatility.
Moat and Competitive Advantages
Competitive Edge
EDZ's main advantage is its 3x leveraged inverse exposure, offering aggressive short-term tactical opportunities. It allows sophisticated investors to express a strong bearish view on emerging markets with amplified potential returns (and risks). However, this also brings unique risks from compounding which may lead to decay over longer periods. This leverage differentiates it from other inverse ETFs.
Risk Analysis
Volatility
EDZ is highly volatile due to its leveraged nature. Investors should expect significant price swings.
Market Risk
EDZ is exposed to emerging market risk, currency risk, and the risk of leverage. Unexpected positive performance in emerging markets could lead to substantial losses.
Investor Profile
Ideal Investor Profile
The ideal investor is a sophisticated trader with a short-term outlook and a strong conviction that emerging markets will decline. They should understand the risks of leveraged ETFs and be able to actively manage their positions.
Market Risk
EDZ is suitable for active traders with a high risk tolerance. It is not appropriate for long-term investors due to the effects of compounding and potential for significant value erosion.
Summary
The Direxion Daily MSCI Emerging Markets Bear 3X Shares (EDZ) is a leveraged inverse ETF designed for short-term trading strategies. It seeks to provide three times the inverse of the daily performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. EDZ is a high-risk investment suitable only for sophisticated investors who understand the risks of leveraged and inverse ETFs. Due to its daily reset mechanism and potential for compounding effects, EDZ is not intended for long-term holding.
