Fact sheet: http://www.direxioninvestments.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/ERXERY-Fact-Sheet.pdf

Russell 1000® Energy Index ("Energy Index").
S&P Energy Select Sector Index

The index is provided by Standard & Poor’s and includes domestic companies from the energy industry. It is developed and maintained in accordance with the following criteria:
Each of the component securities in the Index is a constituent company of the S&P 500 Index
Each stock in the S&P 500 Index is allocated to one and only one of the Select Sector Indexes
The Index is calculated by using a modified “market capitalization” methodology, which is a hybrid between equal weighting and conventional capitalization weighting with the weighting capped for the largest stocks included in the Index.

This design ensures that each of the component stocks within a Select Sector Index is represented in a proportion consistent with its percentage with respect to the total market capitalization of such Select Sector Index. One cannot directly invest in an index.

Index Sector Weightings (%)
Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels 81.49
Energy & Equipment Services 18.51
