Industry data shows that although high-risk leveraged funds tracking semiconductor companies were hit hard during July and August, investors still injected billions of dollars into these funds in an attempt to lay out ahead of time to seize potential rebound opportunities in the industry. According to Morningstar's data, DireXion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares, the largest leveraged ETF that tracks chip stocks, attracted a net inflow of nearly 7 billion US dollars in the first two weeks of July and August. This leveraged ETF provides a triple leveraged investment in the NYSE Semiconductor Index, which covers 30 US chip companies. During this period, although the underlying index only retraced 20% from its high point, the leveraged fund declined by as much as 70%.
