Important Considerations

This ProShares ETF seeks daily investment results that correspond, before fees and expenses, to -2x the daily performance of its underlying benchmark (the “Daily Target”).

While the Fund has a daily investment objective, you may hold Fund shares for longer than one day if you believe it is consistent with your goals and risk tolerance.

For any holding period other than a day, your return may be higher or lower than the Daily Target. These differences may be significant. Smaller index gains/losses and higher index volatility contribute to returns worse than the Daily Target. Larger index gains/losses and lower index volatility contribute to returns better than the Daily Target.

The more extreme these factors are, the more they occur together, and the longer your holding period while these factors apply, the more your return will tend to deviate. Investors should consider periodically monitoring their geared fund investments in light of their goals and risk tolerance.

Common uses for inverse exposure

  • Seek to profit from a market decline

  • Help to hedge against an expected decline

  • Underweight exposure to a market segment

About the Index

The Bloomberg Natural Gas SubindexSM is intended to reflect the natural gas segment of the commodities market. The index consists of futures contracts on natural gas.

Unlike equities, which entitle the holder to a continuing stake in a corporation, commodity futures contracts specify a delivery date for an underlying physical commodity. The index measures the performance of commodity futures contracts, and, as the date for a futures contract comes due, the index replaces such contract with similar contracts with later expirations. The index thus is a "rolling" index.

The index is valued using the settlement prices for the underlying futures contracts. The index rolls its contracts over the course of 5 consecutive business days, starting on the 6th business day of the month. Each day, approximately 20% of each futures position that is included in the month's roll is rolled.

For the total return table above, since inception returns are cumulative for funds less than one year old; otherwise, returns are annualized. Market returns are based on the composite closing price and do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. The listing date is typically one or more days after the fund inception date. Therefore, NAV is used to calculate market returns prior to the listing date.

The expense ratio for certain funds includes a contractual fee waiver that results in a lower net expense ratio for some or all periods shown. For information about this ETF’s fees, please see above.

Expense ratio does not include brokerage commissions and related fees paid by the fund.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Short ProShares ETFs are non-diversified and entail certain risks, including risk associated with the use of derivatives (swap agreements, futures contracts and similar instruments), imperfect benchmark correlation, leverage and market price variance, all of which can increase volatility and decrease performance. Short ProShares ETFs should lose money when their benchmarks rise. Please see their summary and full prospectuses for a more complete description of risks.

This fund generates a K-1 tax form.

Certain derivative instruments will subject the fund to counterparty risk and credit risk, which could result in significant losses for the fund.

There are additional risks related to commodity investments due to natural and technological factors such as depletion of known cost-effective sources of a commodity or severe weather and increases in availability created by new or improved equipment or processes.
