Country/Region 🇰🇷 South Korea ETFs Equity Risk: Very High Since 2013-04-10

KORU provides 3x daily leveraged exposure to the MSCI Korea 25/50 Index. This is an aggressive trading vehicle for short-term bullish bets on the Korean market. Not suitable for buy-and-hold investing due to daily compounding effects.

KORU: Triple-Leveraged Korea Exposure

Direxion Daily South Korea Bull 3X Shares provides 300% of the daily performance of the MSCI Korea 25/50 Index. This extreme leverage makes KORU one of the most aggressive ways to trade Korean equities.

Trading Vehicle Only

KORU resets its leverage daily, meaning the 3x target applies only to single-day returns. Over multiple days, compounding can cause significant deviation from 3x the index return, especially during volatile periods. This makes KORU appropriate only for experienced traders with a same-day or very short-term time horizon.

Frequently asked questions

Should I hold KORU long-term?

No. KORU is designed for daily trading only. Long-term holding leads to significant value erosion through volatility decay and daily leverage reset compounding.

How much can I lose with KORU?

In theory, you could lose up to 3x the daily index decline. A 15%+ daily index drop could result in near-total loss.
