The Direxion Daily Mid Cap Bull 3X Shares ETF seeks to deliver 300% (3x) the return of the S&P MidCap 400 index. The S&P MidCap 400 index has a circa 65% allocation to cyclical sectors, most notably Industrials, a key benefit amid expectations for 2.7% US GDP growth by the IMF. The S&P MidCap 400 trades at a trailing earnings yield of almost 5% and does not suffer from an elevated concentration in just a few names.
