DIREXION DAILY SO KOREA BULL
DIREXION DAILY SO KOREA BULL (KORU) is a leveraged exchange-traded fund designed to provide amplified, short-term exposure to South Korean equities. It aims to deliver approximately twice (2x) the daily performance of its underlying South Korea benchmark, typically using derivatives and leverage. That design makes KORU more suited to experienced traders seeking tactical, intraday or short-term directional exposure rather than buy‑and‑hold investors. Key considerations include higher volatility, elevated fees and the effect of daily compounding, which can cause returns to diverge from the multiple of the benchmark over periods longer than one day. Investors also face currency risk, concentration risk in one country and potential geopolitical sensitivity. This summary provides general, educational information and is not personalised investment advice; investors should assess their objectives, risk tolerance and time horizon and may wish to consult a regulated financial adviser before considering leveraged products.
