The S&P 500—Tailored for You.

Investing in Large-Cap U.S. Stocks Shouldn't Be One-Size-Fits-All

Consider swapping a traditional S&P 500 fund with an ETF that allows you to underweight or even eliminate technology, health care, financials or energy sector exposure.

Mitigate Sector & Concentration Risks

Geopolitical tensions, technological disruption, and regulatory changes are all contributing to a heightened environment of sector-specific risk. Our Ex-Sector ETFs can help you navigate these risks, while staying invested in the broader S&P 500.

ProShares Ex-Sector ETFs are for investors seeking an S&P 500 fund and reduced exposure to one of the following sectors or companies: energy, financials and real estate, health care or information technology.

An Ex-Sector ETF may be used as a core holding or a replacement for a traditional S&P 500 fund to potentially enhance return based on the sector's long-term prospects, business cycle, fundamentals and price.

For example, could energy companies struggle to transition from fossil fuels to green energy sources? Could a decline in interest rates hurt financial companies' profits? Are tech stocks richly valued relative to their projected future earnings?

A professional working in a particular sector–a health care executive, for example–may be adequately exposed to that sector's fortunes. An individual may want to manage the single-company risk of a stock gifted or inherited from a family member. Or an investor may have "high-conviction" holdings focused in a particular sector.

ProShares offers four Ex-Sector ETFs.
 
SPXE—S&P 500 Ex-Energy ETF. The fund excludes oil, gas, fuel and energy companies.
 
SPXN—S&P 500 Ex-Financials ETF. The fund excludes the financials and real estate sector.
 
SPXT—S&P 500 Ex-Technology ETF. The fund excludes the information technology sector.
 
SPXV—S&P 500 Ex-Technology ETF. The fund excludes companies in the health care sector.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. These ProShares ETFs are subject to certain risks, including the risk that each fund may not track the performance of the index and that the fund’s market price may fluctuate, which may decrease performance. Each fund may operate as non-diversified in order to approximate its index; non-diversified and narrowly focused investments typically exhibit higher volatility. Each fund is exposed to the stocks of large cap companies, which tend to go through cycles of outperformance or underperformance lasting up to several years relative to other segments of the stock market. As a result, large cap returns may trail the returns of the overall stock market or other market segments. Please see the summary and full prospectuses for a more complete description of risks. There is no guarantee any ProShares ETF will achieve its investment objective.

Carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of ProShares before investing. This and other information can be found in their summary and full prospectuses. Read them carefully before investing.
