What are TITAN ETFs?

direction recently launched its Titans leveraged and inverse ETFs to amp up sector exposure for traders.

Can you give us a snapshot of this new ETF suite and then explain the mechanics of how these funds work? >> And in order to really set the background for it, we got to properly introduce, you know, who we are at direction and what we've done over these past years.

And so to your point about sector ETFs, we've long played in that space. you know, we offer leverage across financials, semiconductors, biotech, and we've really run the gamut.

Um, that all being said, what we've offered historically has always been broad basket funds.

So, anything from 500 names in it, 100 names in it, but very spread out ways to play a certain sector.

The Titans are just kind of a next step in the evolution for us.

So, the Titan ETFs offer equal weight exposure to the top five names in a given sector.

And all of these are then 2x so leveraged funds.

So we offer them across semiconductors, biotechnology, technology, and energy.

Again, those are all places where we've offered leverage in the past.

But now these are ways for you to trade the leaders and to kind of forget the noise.

One of the big stories in markets today I feel like you can't avoid is the concentration at the top.

I mean, if you look at the top five names in the S&P 500, they count for about 30% of the market capitalization.

That's over double what it was just 10 years ago.

So if you want to be a tactical trader and you want to either buy into this rally or fade the rally, you need to be trading those top names and the Titans allow for you to do so.

So again, as mentioned, if you look at semiconductors, for example, our largest ETF as a firm at direction is SOXL, the 3X semiconductor fund, that has about 100 different names in it.

Now, if you want to just play those top names, the Nvidia, AMD, Qualcomm, Broadcoms of the world, our our Titan funds are the way to go.

TSXU is a 2x long fund and TSXD is a 2x bare fund.

And so we like to offer both sides of the trade on semis because it's really the story of the day.

Anything AI related goes back to semiconductors.

And so if you're a buyer of the AI narrative, great.

We have the tactical trading tool for you with TSXU.

If you want to fade that rally, TSXD is the tool for you.

So we like to offer traders both sides.

We want to give them a concentrated way to trade the top headlines today.
