TAG | FAZ Fund
Soreide Law Group, PLLC wants to respresent investors who’s brokers or financial advisors recommended Direxion Financial Bear 3X Shares (NYSE: FAZ). The FAZ Fund seeks investment results that correspond to three times the inverse (-300%) daily performance of the Russell 1000 Financial Services Index (“RFSI”), which measures the performance of the financial services sector of the U.S. equity market. If you purchased or acquired shares in the FAZ Fund, Soreide Law Group will represent investors who have been defrauded by Direxion, including any brokers or brokerage firms who recommended the Direxion (FAZ) investment.
With the US equity markets up between 5% and 8% so far this year , the leveraged long ETFs are up significantly, while the leveraged inverse ETFs are down significantly. The 3x inverse Financial ETF (FAZ) was down -37.57% as of April 9, 2010.
Direxion is a Delaware statutory trust and a registered investment company offering many separate exchange-traded funds to the public. FAZ Fund may be altogether defective as a directional investment play. Specifically, if your broker or brokerage had not disclosed the following risks in Direxion shares: (1) inverse correlation between the FAZ Fund and the RFSI over time would only happen in the rarest of circumstances, if at all; (2) the extent to which performance of FAZ Fund would inevitably diverge from the performance of the RFSI – i.e., the probability, if not certainty, of spectacular tracking error; (3) severe consequences of high market volatility on the FAZ Fund’s investment objectives and performance; (4) severe consequences of inherent path dependency in periods of high market volatility on the FAZ Fund’s performance; (5) the role the FAZ Fund plays in increasing market volatility, particularly in the last hour of trading; (6) the consequences of the FAZ Fund’s daily hedge adjustment always going in the same direction as the movement of the underlying index, notwithstanding that it is an inverse leveraged ETF; (7) FAZ Fund causes dislocations in the stock market; and (8) the FAZ Fund offers a seemingly straightforward way to obtain desired exposure, but such exposure is not attainable through the FAZ Fund.
