The Direxion Daily S&P Oil & Gas Exp. & Prod. Bull 2X Shares (GUSH) seeks to provide 200% of the daily performance of the S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production Select Industry Index. The fund achieves this leveraged exposure by investing at least 80% of its assets in financial derivatives, such as swap agreements, and securities that track domestic companies within the integrated oil, refining, and exploration sub-sectors.
The underlying index follows a modified equal-weighted methodology, which reduces concentration risk compared to market-cap-weighted indices by giving smaller exploration firms similar influence to industry giants. Companies in this sector are highly sensitive to crude oil and natural gas spot prices, as their profit margins depend on the spread between extraction costs and market rates. Investors can further analyze these underlying commodity sensitivities on ValueRay.
As a leveraged ETF, GUSH is designed for short-term trading rather than long-term investment. Due to the effects of daily compounding and volatility decay, the funds performance over periods longer than a single day can deviate significantly from the two-times return of its benchmark index.
- Fluctuations in global crude oil prices dictate underlying index volatility
- Domestic shale production levels influence exploration and production capital expenditures
- Federal environmental regulations impact drilling permits and operational overhead costs
