Investing in derivatives may expose the Fund to greater risks than investing directly in the reference asset(s) underlying those derivatives, such as counterparty risk, liquidity risk and increased correlation risk (each as discussed below). When the Fund uses derivatives, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the reference asset(s) and the derivative, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. Moreover, with respect to the use of swap agreements, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund&#8217;s net assets, the terms of a swap agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund. In that event, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve the desired exposure consistent with the Fund&#8217;s investment objective. This, in turn, may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective, even if the Index reverses all or a portion of its intraday move by the end of the day. Any financing, borrowing and other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the effect of lowering the Fund&#8217;s return. <br /><br />Active Investor Risk - The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. A significant portion of assets invested in the Fund come from professional money managers and investors who use the Fund as part of active trading or tactical asset allocation strategies. These strategies often call for frequent trading to take advantage of anticipated changes in market conditions, which could increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund. In addition, large movements of assets into and out of the Fund may have a negative impact on the Fund&#8217;s ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund&#8217;s expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. <br /><br />Correlation Risk - A number of factors may affect the Fund&#8217;s ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The factors that may adversely affect the Fund&#8217;s correlation with the Index include fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, income items, valuation methodology, accounting standards and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests. The Fund may not have investment exposure to all securities in the Index, or its weighting of investment exposure to such may be different from that of the Index. In addition, the Fund may invest in securities or financial instruments not included in the Index. The Fund may also be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or under-exposed to the Index. Activities surrounding Index reconstitutions or other Index rebalancing events may hinder the Fund&#8217;s ability to meet its investment objective. <br /><br />Counterparty Risk - The Fund will be subject to credit risk (i.e., the risk that a counterparty is unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its contractual obligations) with respect to the amount it expects to receive from counterparties to derivatives and repurchase agreements entered into by the Fund. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or fails to perform its obligations, the value of your investment in the Fund may decline. <br /><br />Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk - An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities, or the ability to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may result in the Fund being unable to buy or sell certain securities or derivatives. In such circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses. <br /><br />Equity and Market Risk - The equity markets are volatile, and the value of securities, swaps, futures, options contracts and other instruments correlated with the equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day-to-day. Equity markets are subject to political, regulatory, market and economic developments, as well as developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. Volatility in the markets and/or market developments may cause the value of an investment in the Fund to decrease. <br /><br />Liquidity Risk - In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests, the Fund might not be able to acquire or dispose of certain holdings quickly or at prices that represent true market value in the judgment of ProFund Advisors. Markets for the securities in which the Fund invests may be disrupted by a number of events, including but not limited to economic crises, natural disasters, new legislation, or regulatory changes inside or outside of the U.S. For example, regulation limiting the ability of certain financial institutions to invest in certain securities would likely reduce the liquidity of those securities. Such situations may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving a high correlation with the Index. <br /><br />Non-Diversification Risk - The Fund is classified as &#8220;non-diversified&#8221; under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers susceptible to a single economic, political or regulatory event, or in financial instruments with a single counterparty if ProFund Advisors determines that doing so is the most efficient means of meeting the Fund&#8217;s investment objective. This makes the performance of the Fund more susceptible to adverse impact to an issuer or counterparty than a diversified fund might be. The risk may be particularly acute when the Index is comprised of a small number of securities. <br /><br />Portfolio Turnover Risk - The Fund&#8217;s strategy typically involves high portfolio turnover to manage the Fund&#8217;s investment exposure. Additionally, active trading of the Fund&#8217;s shares may cause more frequent purchase and sales activities that could, in certain circumstances, increase the number of portfolio transactions. High levels of transactions increase brokerage costs and may result in increased taxable capital gains. <br /><br />Technology Industry Risk - The Fund is subject to risks faced by companies in the technology industry to the same extent as the Index is so concentrated. Securities of technology companies may be subject to greater volatility than stocks of companies in other market sectors. Technology companies may be affected by intense competition, obsolescence of existing technology, general economic conditions and government regulation and may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. Technology companies may experience dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for qualified personnel. These companies also are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect profitability. A small number of companies represent a large portion of the technology industries as a whole. Further, such stocks in the Index may underperform fixed income investments and stock market indexes that track other markets, segments and sectors.<br /><br />Telecommunications Industry Risk - The Fund is subject to risks faced by companies in the telecommunications economic sector to the same extent as the Index is so concentrated, including: a telecommunications market characterized by increasing competition and regulation by the Federal Communications Commission and various state regulatory authorities; the need to commit substantial capital to meet increasing competition, particularly in formulating new products and services using new technology; and technological innovations that may make various products and services obsolete. Further, such stocks in the Index may underperform fixed income investments and stock market indexes that track other markets, segments and sectors. <br /><br />Please see &#8220;Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks&#8221; in the Fund&#8217;s full Prospectus for additional details. 0.0164 0.0164 0.0107 0.0064 0.0366 0.0427 0.0387 0.0346 0.0323 0.0604 0.0266 0.0234 0.0213 0.0163 0.0425 2000-08-07 2000-08-07 Average annual total returns are shown on a before- and after-tax basis for Investor Class shares only.

Volatility in the markets and/or market developments may cause the value of an investment in the Fund to decrease. <br/><br/> Liquidity Risk - In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests, the Fund might not be able to acquire or dispose of certain holdings quickly or at prices that represent true market value in the judgment of ProFund Advisors. Markets for the securities in which the Fund invests may be disrupted by a number of events, including but not limited to economic crises, natural disasters, new legislation, or regulatory changes inside or outside of the U.S. For example, regulation limiting the ability of certain financial institutions to invest in certain securities would likely reduce the liquidity of those securities. Such situations may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving a high correlation with the Index. <br/><br/>Non-Diversification Risk - The Fund is classified as &#8220;non-diversified&#8221; under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers susceptible to a single economic, political or regulatory event, or in financial instruments with a single counterparty if ProFund Advisors determines that doing so is the most efficient means of meeting the Fund&#8217;s investment objective. This makes the performance of the Fund more susceptible to adverse impact to an issuer or counterparty than a diversified fund might be. The risk may be particularly acute when the Index is comprised of a small number of securities. <br/><br/> Portfolio Turnover Risk - The Fund&#8217;s strategy typically involves high portfolio turnover to manage the Fund&#8217;s investment exposure. Additionally, active trading of the Fund&#8217;s shares may cause more frequent purchase and sales activities that could, in certain circumstances, increase the number of portfolio transactions. High levels of transactions increase brokerage costs and may result in increased taxable capital gains. <br/><br/> Small- and Mid-Cap Company Investment Risk - The Index and, by extension, the Fund are exposed to the risks posed by stocks of small- and mid-cap companies. The risk of equity investing may be particularly acute for securities of issuers with smaller market capitalizations. Small- and mid-cap company stocks may trade at greater spreads or lower trading volumes, and may be less liquid than the stocks of larger companies. Small- and mid-cap companies may have limited product lines or resources, may be dependent upon a particular market niche and may have greater fluctuations in price than the stocks of larger companies. Further, stocks of small- and mid-sized companies could be more difficult to liquidate during market downturns compared to larger, more widely traded companies. In addition, small- and mid-cap companies may lack the financial and personnel resources to handle economic or industry-wide setbacks and, as a result, such setbacks could have a greater effect on small- and mid-cap security prices. <br/><br/> Please see &#8220;Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks&#8221; in the Fund&#8217;s full Prospectus for additional details.

The Index is a measure of small-cap U.S. stock market performance. It is a float-adjusted, market capitalization weighted index containing approximately 2000 of the smallest companies in the Russell 3000<sup style="POSITION: relative; BOTTOM: 0.8ex; VERTICAL-ALIGN: baseline">&#174;</sup> Index, or approximately 8% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000 Index, which in turn represents approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market. As of September 30, 2012, the Index included companies with capitalizations between $42.6 million and $4.4 billion. The average capitalization of the companies comprising the Index was approximately $729.3 million. The Index is published under the Bloomberg ticker symbol &#8220;RTY.&#8221;<br/><br/> The types of securities and derivatives that the Fund will principally invest in are set forth below. Cash balances arising from the use of derivatives will typically be held in money market instruments. <ul type="square"><li style="margin-left:-20px"> Equity Securities &#8212; The Fund invests in common stock issued by public companies. </li></ul> <ul type="square"><li style="margin-left:-20px"> Derivatives &#8212; The Fund invests in derivatives, which are financial instruments whose value is derived from the value of an underlying asset, interest rate or index. The Fund invests in derivatives as a substitute for investing directly in stocks in order to gain exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:</li></ul> <ul type="square"><li><b>Swap Agreements</b> &#8212; Contracts entered into primarily with major global financial institutions for a specified period ranging from a day to more than one year. In a standard &#8220;swap&#8221; transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross return to be exchanged or &#8220;swapped&#8221; between the parties is calculated with respect to a &#8220;notional amount,&#8221; e.g., the return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a &#8220;basket&#8221; of securities representing a particular index.</li></ul> <ul type="square"><li> <b>Futures Contracts </b>&#8212; A standardized contract traded on, or subject to the rules of, an exchange that calls for the future delivery of a specified quantity and type of asset at a specified time and place or, alternatively, may call for cash settlement. </li></ul> <ul type="square"><li style="margin-left:-20px"> Money Market Instruments &#8212; The Fund invests in short-term cash instruments that have a remaining maturity of 397 days or less and exhibit high quality credit profiles, including:</li></ul> <ul type="square"><li><b>U.S. Treasury Bills</b> &#8212; U.S. government securities that have initial maturities of one year or less, and are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li> <b>Repurchase Agreements</b> &#8212; Contracts in which a seller of securities, usually U.S. government securities or other money market instruments, agrees to buy them back at a specified time and price.

Using this approach, ProFund Advisors determines the type, quantity and mix of investment positions that the Fund should hold to approximate the performance of the Index. The Fund may gain exposure to only a representative sample of the securities in the Index, which exposure is intended to have aggregate characteristics similar to those of the Index, and may invest in securities or financial instrument not contained in the Index. ProFund Advisors does not invest the assets of the Fund in securities or financial instruments based on ProFund Advisors&#8217; view of the investment merit of a particular security, instrument, or company, other than for cash management purposes, nor does it conduct conventional research or analysis (other than in determining counterparty creditworthiness), or forecast market movement or trends, in managing the assets of the Fund. The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in securities and/or financial instruments that, in combination, provide exposure to the Index without regard to market conditions, trends or direction. <br/><br/> The Fund will concentrate its investments in a particular industry or group of industries to approximately the same extent as the Index is so concentrated. <br/><br/> Please see &#8220;Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks&#8221; in the Fund&#8217;s full Prospectus for additional details.

As of the close of business on September 30, 2012, the Index was concentrated in the consumer, non-cyclical, industry group, which comprised approximately 26% of the market capitalization of the Index.<br /><br />Please see &#8220;Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks&#8221; in the Fund&#8217;s full Prospectus for additional details. 2410 3392 Best Quarter 2009-09-30 0.1933 Worst Quarter 2008-12-31 -0.2682 year-to-date return 2012-09-30 <b>Example:</b> 0.1207 This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. <br /><br />The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of each period.

A significant portion of assets invested in the Fund come from professional money managers and investors who use the Fund as part of active trading or tactical asset allocation strategies. These strategies often call for frequent trading to take advantage of anticipated changes in market conditions, which could increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund. In addition, large movements of assets into and out of the Fund may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. <br /><br /> Correlation Risk - A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The factors that may adversely affect the Fund's correlation with the Index include fees, expenses, transaction costs, income items, valuation methodology, accounting standards and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities in which the Fund invests. The Fund may not have investment exposure to all securities in the Index, or its weighting of investment exposure to such securities may be different from that of the Index. In addition, the Fund may invest in securities not included in the Index. The Fund may also be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or under-exposed to the Index. Activities surrounding Index reconstitutions or other Index rebalancing events may hinder the Fund's ability to meet its investment objective. <br /><br /> Consumer Goods Industry Risk - The Fund is subject to risks faced by companies in the consumer goods economic sector to the same extent as the Index is so concentrated, including: governmental regulation affecting the permissibility of using various food additives and production methods could affect profitability; new laws or litigation that may adversely affect tobacco companies; fads, marketing campaigns and other factors affecting supply and demand that may strongly affect securities prices and profitability of food, soft drink and fashion related products; and international events that may affect food and beverage companies that derive a substantial portion of their net income from foreign countries. Further, stocks in the Index may underperform fixed income investments and stock market indexes that track other markets, segments and sectors <br /><br /> Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk - An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities, or the ability to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may result in the Fund being unable to buy or sell certain securities. In such circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments, and/or may incur substantial trading losses. <br /><br /> Equity and Market Risk - The equity markets are volatile, and the value of securities and other instruments correlated with the equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day-to-day. Equity markets are subject to political, regulatory, market and economic developments, as well as developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. Volatility in the markets and/or market developments may cause the value of an investment in the Fund to decrease. <br /><br /> Exposure to Foreign Currency Risk - Investments denominated in foreign currencies are exposed to risk factors in addition to investments denominated in U.S. dollars. The value of an investment denominated in a foreign currency could change significantly as foreign currencies strengthen or weaken relative to the U.S. dollar. Risks related to foreign currencies also include those related to economic or political developments, market inefficiencies or a higher risk that essential investment information may be incomplete, unavailable, or inaccurate. A U.S. dollar investment in Depositary Receipts or ordinary shares of foreign issuers traded on U.S. exchanges is subject to foreign currency risk. <br /><br /> Exposure to Foreign Investments Risk - Exposure to securities of foreign issuers may subject the Fund to increased risk. Various factors related to foreign investments may negatively impact the Index's performance, such as: i) fluctuations in the value of the applicable foreign currency; ii) differences in securities settlement practices; iii) uncertainty associated with evidence of ownership of investments in countries that lack centralized custodial services; iv) possible regulation of, or other limitations on, investments by U.S. investors in foreign investments; v) potentially higher brokerage commissions; vi) the possibility that a foreign government may withhold portions of interest and dividends at the source; vii) taxation of income earned in foreign countries or other foreign taxes imposed; viii) foreign exchange controls, which may include suspension of the ability to transfer currency from a foreign country; ix) less publicly available information about foreign issuers; x) changes in the denomination currency of a foreign investment; and xi) less certain legal systems in which the Fund might encounter difficulties or be unable to pursue legal remedies. Foreign investments also may be more susceptible to political, social, economic and regional factors than might be the case with U.S. securities. <br /><br /> Exposure to European Investments Risk - The Economic and Monetary Union of the European Union (the "EU") requires member countries to comply with restrictions on inflation rates, interest rates, deficits, debt levels and fiscal and monetary controls. As a result, each EU member country may be significantly affected by EU policies and may be highly dependent on the economies of its fellow members. The European financial markets have experienced significant volatility recently and several EU member countries have been adversely affected by unemployment, budget deficits and economic downturns. In addition, several EU member countries have experienced credit rating downgrades, rising government debt levels and, for certain EU member countries (including Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Italy), weakness in sovereign debt. These events, along with decreasing imports or exports, changes in governmental or EU regulations on trade, the default or threat of default by an EU member country on its sovereign debt and/or an economic recession in an EU member country may have a significant adverse effect on the affected EU member country, issuers in the affected EU member country, the economies of other EU member countries, their trading partners or other European countries. Such events, or even the threat of such events, may cause the value of debt issued by issuers in such European countries to fall, in some cases drastically. These events may also cause continued volatility in the European financial markets. To the extent that the Fund's assets are exposed to investments from issuers in EU member countries or denominated in Euro, their trading partners, or other European countries, these events may impact the performance of the Fund. <br /><br /> Geographic Concentration Risk - Because the Fund focuses its investments in particular foreign countries or geographic regions, it may be more volatile than a more geographically diversified fund. The performance of the Fund will be affected by the political, social and economic conditions in those foreign countries and geographic regions and subject to the related risks. <br /><br /> Liquidity Risk - In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests, the Fund might not be able to acquire or dispose of certain holdings quickly or at prices that represent true market value in the judgment of ProFund Advisors. Markets for the securities in which the Fund invests may be disrupted by a number of events, including but not limited to economic crises, natural disasters, new legislation, or regulatory changes inside or outside of the U.S. For example, regulation limiting the ability of certain financial institutions to invest in certain securities would likely reduce the liquidity of those securities. Such situations may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving a high correlation with the Index. <br /><br /> Portfolio Turnover Risk - The Fund's strategy typically involves high portfolio turnover to manage the Fund's investment exposure. Additionally, active trading of the Fund's shares may cause more frequent purchase and sales activities that could, in certain circumstances, increase the number of portfolio transactions. High levels of transactions increase brokerage costs and may result in increased taxable capital gains. <br /><br /> Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's full Prospectus for additional details. 0.2556 <div style="display:none">~ http://www.ProFunds.com/role/ScheduleAnnualFundOperatingExpensesMID-CAPPROFUND column period compact * ~</div> -0.0503 <b>Average Annual Total Returns </b><br/>as of December 31, 2011 181 281 This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. <br/><br/>The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of each period.

Small- and mid-cap companies may have limited product lines or resources, may be dependent upon a particular market niche and may have greater fluctuations in price than the stocks of larger companies. Further, stocks of small- and mid-sized companies could be more difficult to liquidate during market downturns compared to larger, more widely traded companies. In addition, small- and mid-cap companies may lack the financial and personnel resources to handle economic or industry-wide setbacks and, as a result, such setbacks could have a greater effect on small- and mid-cap security prices. <br/><br/>Value Investing Risk - Value investing carries the risk that the market will not recognize a security&#8217;s intrinsic value for a long time, or that a stock deemed to be undervalued by the relevant index methodology may actually be appropriately priced or overvalued. <br/><br/>Please see &#8220;Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks&#8221; in the Fund&#8217;s full Prospectus for additional details. <b>Principal Risks </b> <b>Principal Risks </b> 485BPOS <b>Investment Results </b> The bar chart below shows how the Fund&#8217;s investment results for Investor Class shares have varied from year to year, and the table shows how the Fund&#8217;s average annual total returns for various periods compare with a broad measure of market performance.

The Index is designed to provide a comprehensive measure of mid-cap U.S. equity &#8220;growth&#8221; performance. It is an unmanaged float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index comprising of stocks representing approximately half the market capitalization of the S&amp;P MidCap 400 that have been identified as being on the growth end of the growth-value spectrum. As of September 30, 2012, the Index included companies with capitalizations between $751 million and $14.6 billion. The average capitalization of the companies comprising the Index was approximately $3.5 billion.

Using this approach, ProFund Advisors determines the type, quantity and mix of investment positions that the Fund should hold to approximate the performance of the Index. The Fund may gain exposure to only a representative sample of the securities in the Index, which exposure is intended to have aggregate characteristics similar to those of the Index, and may invest in securities not contained in the Index.

A significant portion of assets invested in the Fund come from professional money managers and investors who use the Fund as part of active trading or tactical asset allocation strategies. These strategies often call for frequent trading to take advantage of anticipated changes in market conditions, which could increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund. In addition, large movements of assets into and out of the Fund may have a negative impact on the Fund&#8217;s ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund&#8217;s expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. <br /><br />Correlation Risk - A number of factors may affect the Fund&#8217;s ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The factors that may adversely affect the Fund&#8217;s correlation with the Index include fees, expenses, transaction costs, income items, valuation methodology, accounting standards and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities in which the Fund invests. The Fund may not have investment exposure to all securities in the Index, or its weighting of investment exposure to such securities may be different from that of the Index. In addition, the Fund may invest in securities not included in the Index. The Fund may also be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or under- exposed to the Index. Activities surrounding Index reconstitutions or other Index rebalancing events may hinder the Fund&#8217;s ability to meet its investment objective. <br /><br />Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk - An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities, or the ability to buy or sell certain securities may be restricted, which may result in the Fund being unable to buy or sell certain securities. In such circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses. <br /><br />Equity and Market Risk - The equity markets are volatile, and the value of securities and other instruments correlated with the equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day-to-day. Equity markets are subject to political, regulatory, market and economic developments, as well as developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. Volatility in the markets and/or market developments may cause the value of an investment in the Fund to decrease. <br /><br />Growth Investing Risk - An investment in growth stocks may be susceptible to rapid price swings, especially during periods of economic uncertainty. Growth stocks typically have little or no dividend income to cushion the effect of adverse market conditions and may be particularly volatile in the event of earnings disappointments or other financial difficulties experienced by the issuer. <br /><br />Liquidity Risk - In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the securities in which the Fund invests, the Fund might not be able to acquire or dispose of certain holdings quickly or at prices that represent true market value in the judgment of ProFund Advisors. Markets for the securities in which the Fund invests may be disrupted by a number of events, including but not limited to economic crises, natural disasters, new legislation, or regulatory changes inside or outside of the U.S. For example, regulation limiting the ability of certain financial institutions to invest in certain securities would likely reduce the liquidity of those securities. Such situations may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving a high correlation with the Index. <br /><br />Portfolio Turnover Risk - The Fund&#8217;s strategy typically involves high portfolio turnover to manage the Fund&#8217;s investment exposure. Additionally, active trading of the Fund&#8217;s shares may cause more frequent purchase and sales activities that could, in certain circumstances, increase the number of portfolio transactions. High levels of transactions increase brokerage costs and may result in increased taxable capital gains. <br /><br />Small- and Mid-Cap Company Investment Risk - The Index and, by extension, the Fund are exposed to the risks posed by stocks of small- and mid-cap companies. The risk of equity investing may be particularly acute for securities of issuers with smaller market capitalizations. Small- and mid-cap company stocks may trade at greater spreads or lower trading volumes, and may be less liquid than the stocks of larger companies. Small- and mid-cap companies may have limited product lines or resources, may be dependent upon a particular market niche and may have greater fluctuations in price than the stocks of larger companies. Further, stocks of small- and mid-sized companies could be more difficult to liquidate during market downturns compared to larger, more widely traded companies. In addition, small- and mid-cap companies may lack the financial and personnel resources to handle economic or industry-wide setbacks and, as a result, such setbacks could have a greater effect on small- and mid-cap security prices. <br /><br />Please see &#8220;Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks&#8221; in the Fund&#8217;s full Prospectus for additional details. <b>Fees and Expenses of the Fund </b> <b>Investment Results </b> The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy or hold shares of the Fund.

Non-Diversification Risk - The Fund is classified as &#8220;non-diversified&#8221; under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers susceptible to a single economic, political or regulatory event, or in financial instruments with a single counterparty if ProFund Advisors determines that doing so is the most efficient means of meeting the Fund&#8217;s investment objective. This makes the performance of the Fund more susceptible to adverse impact to an issuer or counterparty than a diversified fund might be. The risk may be particularly acute when the Index is comprised of a small number of securities. 0.8 <b>Shareholder Fees</b> <br />(fees paid directly from your investment) <div><table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr><td width="0%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;::&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>UltraSmall-Cap ProFund</b>&nbsp;&nbsp;::</td> <td valign="top" width="2%" align="left"></td> <td valign="top" align="left"> <p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">TICKERS&nbsp;&nbsp;::&nbsp;&nbsp;Investor Class UAPIX&nbsp;&nbsp;::&nbsp;&nbsp;Service Class UAPSX</p></td></tr></table></div><br/><b>Important Information About the Fund </b><br />The UltraSmall-Cap ProFund (the &#8220;Fund&#8221;) seeks investment results <b>for a single day only, </b> not for longer periods.

The Index is a measure of mid-size company U.S. stock market performance. It is a float-adjusted, market capitalization weighted index of 400 U.S. operating companies and real estate investment trusts selected through a process that factors in criteria such as liquidity, price, market capitalization and financial viability. As of September 30, 2012, the Index included companies with capitalizations between $236.6 million and $14.6 billion. The average capitalization of the companies comprising the Index was approximately $3.0 billion. The Index is published under the Bloomberg ticker symbol &#8220;MID.&#8221; <br /><br /> The types of securities and derivatives that the Fund will principally invest in are set forth below. Cash balances arising from the use of derivatives will typically be held in money market instruments. <ul type="square"><li style="margin-left:-20px">Equity Securities &#8212; The Fund invests in common stock issued by public companies. </li></ul> <ul type="square"><li style="margin-left:-20px">Derivatives &#8212; The Fund invests in derivatives, which are financial instruments whose value is derived from the value of an underlying asset, interest rate or index.

These derivatives principally include:</li></ul> <ul type="square"><li><b>Swap Agreements &#8212;</b> Contracts entered into primarily with major global financial institutions for a specified period ranging from a day to more than one year. In a standard &#8220;swap&#8221; transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross return to be exchanged or &#8220;swapped&#8221; between the parties is calculated with respect to a &#8220;notional amount,&#8221; e.g., the return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a &#8220;basket&#8221; of securities representing a particular index.</li></ul> <ul type="square"><li><b>Futures Contracts &#8212;</b> A standardized contract traded on, or subject to the rules of, an exchange that calls for the future delivery of a specified quantity and type of asset at a specified time and place or, alternatively, may call for cash settlement. </li></ul> <ul type="square"><li style="margin-left:-20px">Money Market Instruments &#8212; The Fund invests in short-term cash instruments that have a remaining maturity of 397 days or less and exhibit high quality credit profiles, including:</li></ul> <ul type="square"><li><b>U.S. Treasury Bills &#8212; </b>U.S. government securities that have initial maturities of one year or less, and are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States.</li></ul> <ul type="square"><li><b>Repurchase Agreements &#8212;</b> Contracts in which a seller of securities, usually U.S. government securities or other money market instruments, agrees to buy them back at a specified time and price. Repurchase agreements are primarily used by the Fund as a short-term investment vehicle for cash positions. </li></ul> ProFund Advisors uses a mathematical approach to investing. Using this approach, ProFund Advisors determines the type, quantity and mix of investment positions that the Fund should hold to approximate on a daily basis the performance of two times (2x) the Index. The Fund may gain exposure to only a representative sample of the securities in the underlying Index, which exposure is intended to have aggregate characteristics similar to those of the underlying Index, and may invest in securities or financial instruments not contained in the Index. ProFund Advisors does not invest the assets of the Fund in securities or financial instruments based on ProFund Advisors&#8217; view of the investment merit of a particular security, instrument, or company, other than for cash management purposes, nor does it conduct conventional research or analysis (other than in determining counterparty creditworthiness), or forecast market movement or trends, in managing the assets of the Fund. The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in securities and/or financial instruments that, in combination, provide leveraged exposure to the Index without regard to market conditions, trends or direction. <br /><br />At the close of the U.S. securities markets each trading day, the Fund will seek to position its portfolio so that its exposure to the Index is consistent with the Fund&#8217;s investment objective. The Index&#8217;s movements during the day will affect whether the Fund&#8217;s portfolio needs to be re-positioned. For example, if the Index has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise. As a result, the Fund&#8217;s exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the Index has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall. As a result, the Fund&#8217;s exposure will need to be decreased.<br /><br /> <b>Because of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each day&#8217;s return over time, the return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result of each day&#8217;s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ from two times the return of the Index over the same period.

After-tax returns for Service Class shares will vary. <b>You could lose money by investing in the Fund. </b><br /><br />Active Investor Risk - The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. A significant portion of assets invested in the Fund come from professional money managers and investors who use the Fund as part of active trading or tactical asset allocation strategies. These strategies often call for frequent trading to take advantage of anticipated changes in market conditions, which could increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund. In addition, large movements of assets into and out of the Fund may have a negative impact on the Fund&#8217;s ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund&#8217;s expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus.<br /><br/>Correlation Risk - A number of factors may affect the Fund&#8217;s ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The factors that may adversely affect the Fund&#8217;s correlation with the Index include fees, expenses, transaction costs, income items, valuation methodology, accounting standards and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities in which the Fund invests. The Fund may not have investment exposure to all securities in the Index, or its weighting of investment exposure to such securities may be different from that of the Index. In addition, the Fund may invest in securities not included in the Index. The Fund may also be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or under- exposed to the Index. Activities surrounding Index reconstitutions or other Index rebalancing events may hinder the Fund&#8217;s ability to meet its investment objective. <br /><br />Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk - An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities, or the ability to buy or sell certain securities may be restricted, which may result in the Fund being unable to buy or sell certain securities. In such circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses. <br /><br />Equity and Market Risk - The equity markets are volatile, and the value of securities and other instruments correlated with the equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day-to-day. Equity markets are subject to political, regulatory, market and economic developments, as well as developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. Volatility in the markets and/or market developments may cause the value of an investment in the Fund to decrease. <br /><br />Financial Services Industry Risk - The Fund is subject to risks faced by companies in the financial services economic sector to the same extent as the Index is so concentrated, including: extensive governmental regulation and/or nationalization that affects the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain; adverse effects from increases in interest rates; effects on profitability by loan losses, which usually increase in economic downturns; the severe competition to which banks, insurance, and financial services companies may be subject; and increased inter-industry consolidation and competition in the financial sector. Further, such stocks in the Index may underperform fixed income investments and stock market indexes that track other markets, segments and sectors. <br /><br />Liquidity Risk - In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the securities in which the Fund invests, the Fund might not be able to acquire or dispose of certain holdings quickly or at prices that represent true market value in the judgment of ProFund Advisors. Markets for the securities in which the Fund invests may be disrupted by a number of events, including but not limited to economic crises, natural disasters, new legislation, or regulatory changes inside or outside of the U.S. For example, regulation limiting the ability of certain financial institutions to invest in certain securities would likely reduce the liquidity of those securities. Such situations may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving a high correlation with the Index. <br /><br />Portfolio Turnover Risk - The Fund&#8217;s strategy typically involves high portfolio turnover to manage the Fund&#8217;s investment exposure. Additionally, active trading of the Fund&#8217;s shares may cause more frequent purchase and sales activities that could, in certain circumstances, increase the number of portfolio transactions. High levels of transactions increase brokerage costs and may result in increased taxable capital gains.<br /><br/>Small- and Mid-Cap Company Investment Risk - The Index and, by extension, the Fund are exposed to the risks posed by stocks of small- and mid-cap companies. The risk of equity investing may be particularly acute for securities of issuers with smaller market capitalizations. Small- and mid-cap company stocks may trade at greater spreads or lower trading volumes, and may be less liquid than the stocks of larger companies. Small- and mid-cap companies may have limited product lines or resources, may be dependent upon a particular market niche and may have greater fluctuations in price than the stocks of larger companies. Further, stocks of small- and mid-sized companies could be more difficult to liquidate during market downturns compared to larger, more widely traded companies. In addition, small- and mid-cap companies may lack the financial and personnel resources to handle economic or industry-wide setbacks and, as a result, such setbacks could have a greater effect on small- and mid-cap security prices.<br /><br />Value Investing Risk - Value investing carries the risk that the market will not recognize a security&#8217;s intrinsic value for a long time, or that a stock deemed to be undervalued by the relevant index methodology may actually be appropriately priced or overvalued.<br /><br />Please see &#8220;Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks&#8221; in the Fund&#8217;s full Prospectus for additional details. <div><table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr><td width="0%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;::&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>Small-Cap Growth ProFund</b>&nbsp;&nbsp;::</td> <td valign="top" width="2%" align="left"></td> <td valign="top" align="left"> <p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">TICKERS&nbsp;&nbsp;::&nbsp;&nbsp;Investor Class SGPIX&nbsp;&nbsp;::&nbsp;&nbsp;Service Class SGPSX</p></td></tr></table></div> 0.0125 After-tax returns may exceed the return before taxes due to a tax benefit from realizing a capital loss on a sale of shares. 0.0125 The Fund invests in securities that ProFund Advisors believes, in combination, should have similar return characteristics as the return of the Index.

See &#8220;Principal Risks&#8221;, below. </b><br/><br/> The Fund will concentrate its investments in a particular industry or group of industries to approximately the same extent as the Index is so concentrated. <br/><br/> Please see &#8220;Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks&#8221; in the Fund&#8217;s full Prospectus for additional details. year-to-date return 3061 <b>Principal Risks </b> 0.1775 2041 2012-09-30 0.1256 0.0284 Best Quarter 2009-06-30 0.2378 0.1814 Worst Quarter 2008-12-31 0.0087 -0.2591 Annual Fund Operating Expenses<br/>(expenses that you pay each year as a<br/>percentage of the value of your investment) <b>Shareholder Fees </b><br/>(fees paid directly from your investment) -0.673 Annual Fund Operating Expenses <br/>(expenses that you pay each year as a<br/> percentage of the value of your<br/> investment) <b>You could lose money by investing in the Fund. </b><br/><br/>Risks Associated with the Use of Derivatives - The Fund uses investment techniques, such as investing in derivatives, that may be considered aggressive. Investing in derivatives may expose the Fund to greater risks than investing directly in the reference asset(s) underlying those derivatives, such as counterparty risk, liquidity risk and increased correlation risk (each as discussed below). When the Fund uses derivatives, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the reference asset(s) and the derivative, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. Moreover, with respect to the use of swap agreements, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund&#8217;s net assets, the terms of a swap agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund. In that event, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve the desired exposure consistent with the Fund&#8217;s investment objective. This, in turn, may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective, even if the Index reverses all or a portion of its intraday move by the end of the day. Any financing, borrowing and other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the effect of lowering the Fund&#8217;s return.<br/><br/> Active Investor Risk - The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. A significant portion of assets invested in the Fund come from professional money managers and investors who use the Fund as part of active trading or tactical asset allocation strategies. These strategies often call for frequent trading to take advantage of anticipated changes in market conditions, which could increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund. In addition, large movements of assets into and out of the Fund may have a negative impact on the Fund&#8217;s ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund&#8217;s expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. <br/><br/>Correlation Risk - A number of factors may affect the Fund&#8217;s ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The factors that may adversely affect the Fund&#8217;s correlation with the Index include fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, income items, valuation methodology, accounting standards and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests. The Fund may not have investment exposure to all securities in the Index, or its weighting of investment exposure to such securities may be different from that of the Index. In addition, the Fund may invest in securities or financial instruments not included in the Index. The Fund may also be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or under-exposed to the Index. Activities surrounding Index reconstitutions or other Index rebalancing events may hinder the Fund&#8217;s ability to meet its investment objective. <br/><br/>Counterparty Risk - The Fund will be subject to credit risk (i.e., the risk that a counterparty is unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its contractual obligations) with respect to the amount it expects to receive from counterparties to derivatives and repurchase agreements entered into by the Fund. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or fails to perform its obligations, the value of your investment in the Fund may decline.<br/><br/>Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk - An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities, or the ability to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may result in the Fund being unable to buy or sell certain securities or derivatives. In such circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.<br/><br/>Equity and Market Risk - The equity markets are volatile, and the value of securities, swaps, futures, options contracts and other instruments correlated with the equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day-to-day. Equity markets are subject to political, regulatory, market and economic developments, as well as developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. Volatility in the markets and/or market developments may cause the value of an investment in the Fund to decrease.<br/><br/>Liquidity Risk - In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests, the Fund might not be able to acquire or dispose of certain holdings quickly or at prices that represent true market value in the judgment of ProFund Advisors. Markets for the securities in which the Fund invests may be disrupted by a number of events, including but not limited to economic crises, natural disasters, new legislation, or regulatory changes inside or outside of the U.S. For example, regulation limiting the ability of certain financial institutions to invest in certain securities would likely reduce the liquidity of those securities. Such situations may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving a high correlation with the Index.<br/><br/>Non-Diversification Risk - The Fund is classified as &#8220;non-diversified&#8221; under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers susceptible to a single economic, political or regulatory event, or in financial instruments with a single counterparty if ProFund Advisors determines that doing so is the most efficient means of meeting the Fund&#8217;s investment objective. This makes the performance of the Fund more susceptible to adverse impact to an issuer or counterparty than a diversified fund might be. The risk may be particularly acute when the Index is comprised of a small number of securities.<br/><br/>Portfolio Turnover Risk - The Fund&#8217;s strategy typically involves high portfolio turnover to manage the Fund&#8217;s investment exposure. Additionally, active trading of the Fund&#8217;s shares may cause more frequent purchase and sales activities that could, in certain circumstances, increase the number of portfolio transactions. High levels of transactions increase brokerage costs and may result in increased taxable capital gains.<br/><br/> Small- and Mid-Cap Company Investment Risk - The Index and, by extension, the Fund are exposed to the risks posed by stocks of small- and mid-cap companies. The risk of equity investing may be particularly acute for securities of issuers with smaller market capitalizations. Small- and mid-cap company stocks may trade at greater spreads or lower trading volumes, and may be less liquid than the stocks of larger companies. Small- and mid-cap companies may have limited product lines or resources, may be dependent upon a particular market niche and may have greater fluctuations in price than the stocks of larger companies. Further, stocks of small- and mid-sized companies could be more difficult to liquidate during market downturns compared to larger, more widely traded companies. In addition, small- and mid-cap companies may lack the financial and personnel resources to handle economic or industry-wide setbacks and, as a result, such setbacks could have a greater effect on small- and mid-cap security prices.<br/><br/>Please see &#8220;Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks&#8221; in the Fund&#8217;s full Prospectus for additional details. 0.4311 <b>Example:</b> 0.2354 -0.0443 November 30, 2013 <b>Average Annual Total Returns </b><br/>as of December 31, 2011 5.4 <b>You could lose money by investing in the Fund. </b> The bar chart below shows how the Fund&#8217;s investment results for Investor Class shares have varied from year to year, and the table shows how the Fund&#8217;s average annual total returns for various periods compare with a broad measure of market performance. <div style="display:none">~ http://www.ProFunds.com/role/ScheduleAverageAnnualTotalReturnsTransposedLARGE-CAPGROWTHPROFUND column period compact * ~</div> ProFunds.com Past results (before and after taxes) are not predictive of future results.

Investing in derivatives may expose the Fund to greater risks than investing directly in the reference asset(s) underlying those derivatives, such as counterparty risk, liquidity risk and increased correlation risk (each as discussed below). When the Fund uses derivatives, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the reference asset(s) and the derivative, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. Moreover, with respect to the use of swap agreements, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund's net assets, the terms of a swap agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund. In that event, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve the desired exposure consistent with the Fund's investment objective. This, in turn, may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective, even if the Index reverses all or a portion of its intraday move by the end of the day. Any financing, borrowing and other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the effect of lowering the Fund's return. <br /><br /> Leverage Risk - The Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its assets in seeking to achieve its investment objective - a form of leverage - and will lose more money in market environments adverse to its daily objective than a similar fund that does not employ such leverage. The use of such leverage could result in the total loss of an investor's investment. For example, because the Fund includes a multiplier of two times (2x) the Index, a single day movement in the Index approaching 50% at any point in the day could result in the total loss of a shareholder's investment if that movement is contrary to the investment objective of the Fund, even if the Index subsequently moves in an opposite direction, eliminating all or a portion of the earlier movement. This would be the case with any such single day movements in the Index, even if the Index maintains a level greater than zero at all times. <br /><br /> Compounding Risk - As a result of compounding and because the Fund has a single day investment objective, the Fund's performance for periods greater than a single day is likely to be either greater than or less than the Index performance times the stated multiple in the Fund's investment objective, before accounting for fees and fund expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but has a more significant impact on a leveraged fund. Particularly during periods of higher Index volatility, compounding will cause results for periods longer than a single day to vary from two times (2x) the return of the Index. This effect becomes more pronounced as volatility increases. Fund performance for periods greater than a single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: a) Index volatility; b) Index performance; c) period of time; d) financing rates associated with leveraged exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and f) dividends or interest paid with respect to securities in the Index. The chart below illustrates the impact of two principal factors - Index volatility and Index performance - on Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of Index volatility and Index performance and Index volatility over a one-year period. Performance shown in the chart assumes: (a) no dividends paid with respect to securities included in the Index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain leveraged exposure) of zero percent. If Fund expenses and/or actual borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the Fund's performance would be different than shown. <br /><br /> Areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than two times (2x) the performance of the Index. <b>For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money when the level of the Index is flat and can even lose money when the level of the Index rises. </b><br /><br /><img alt="chart" src="g4244902xefr.jpg"></img><br />The foregoing table is intended to isolate the effect of Index volatility and Index performance on the return of the Fund. For example, the Fund may incorrectly be expected to achieve a -40% return on a yearly basis if the Index return were -20%, absent the effects of compounding. However, as the table shows, with Index volatility of 50%, the Fund could be expected to return -50.2% under such a scenario. The Fund's actual returns may be significantly greater or less than the returns shown above as a result of any of the factors discussed above or in "Principal Risks - Correlation Risk" below. <br /><br /> The Index's annualized historical volatility rate for the five -year period ended September 30, 2012 was 33.50%. The Index's highest September to September volatility rate during the five -year period was 51.70% (September 30, 2009). The Index's annualized performance for the five -year period ended September 30, 2012 was 2.21%. <br /><br /> Historical Index volatility and performance are not indications of what the Index volatility and performance will be in the future.<br /><br /> <b>For additional graphs and charts demonstrating the effects of Index volatility and Index performance on the long-term performance of the Fund, see "Principal Risks Specific to ProFunds - Compounding Risk" in the Fund's full Prospectus and "Special Note Regarding the Correlation Risks of Geared Funds" in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.</b><br /><br /> Active Investor Risk - The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. A significant portion of assets invested in the Fund come from professional money managers and investors who use the Fund as part of active trading or tactical asset allocation strategies. These strategies often call for frequent trading to take advantage of anticipated changes in market conditions, which could increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund. In addition, large movements of assets into and out of the Fund may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. <br /><br /> Correlation Risk - A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. <br /><br /> In order to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index, the Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio daily to keep exposure consistent with its investment objective. Being materially over-or under-exposed to the Index may prevent the Fund from achieving a high degree of correlation with the Index. Market disruptions or closure, regulatory restrictions or extreme market volatility will adversely affect the Fund's ability to adjust exposure to requisite levels. The target amount of portfolio exposure is impacted dynamically by the Index's movements. Because of this, it is unlikely that the Fund will have perfect exposure (i.e., 2x) to the Index at the end of each day and the likelihood of being materially over- or under-exposed is higher on days when the Index level is volatile near the close of the trading day. <br /><br /> A number of other factors may also adversely affect the Fund's correlation with the Index, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, income items, valuation methodology, accounting standards and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests. The Fund may not have investment exposure to all securities in the Index, or its weighting of investment exposure to such securities may be different from that of the Index. In addition, the Fund may invest in securities or financial instruments not included in the Index. The Fund may also be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or under-exposed to the Index. Activities surrounding Index reconstitutions or other Index rebalancing events may hinder the Fund's ability to meet its daily investment objective on or around that day. <br /><br /> Counterparty Risk - The Fund will be subject to credit risk (i.e., the risk that a counterparty is unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its contractual obligations) with respect to the amount it expects to receive from counterparties to derivatives and repurchase agreements entered into by the Fund. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or fails to perform its obligations, the value of your investment in the Fund may decline. <br /><br /> Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk - An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities, or the ability to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may result in the Fund being unable to buy or sell certain securities or derivatives. In such circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses. <br /><br /> Equity and Market Risk - The equity markets are volatile, and the value of securities, swaps, futures, options contracts and other instruments correlated with the equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day-to-day. Equity markets are subject to political, regulatory, market and economic developments, as well as developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. Volatility in the markets and/or market developments may cause the value of an investment in the Fund to decrease. <br /><br /> Liquidity Risk - In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests, the Fund might not be able to acquire or dispose of certain holdings quickly or at prices that represent true market value in the judgment of ProFund Advisors. Markets for the securities in which the Fund invests may be disrupted by a number of events, including but not limited to economic crises, natural disasters, new legislation, or regulatory changes inside or outside of the U.S. For example, regulation limiting the ability of certain financial institutions to invest in certain securities would likely reduce the liquidity of those securities. Such situations may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving a high correlation with the Index. <br /><br /> Non-Diversification Risk - The Fund is classified as "non-diversified" under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers susceptible to a single economic, political or regulatory event, or in financial instruments with a single counterparty if ProFund Advisors determines that doing so is the most efficient means of meeting the Fund's investment objective. This makes the performance of the Fund more susceptible to adverse impact to an issuer or counterparty than a diversified fund might be. This risk may be particularly acute when the Index is comprised of a small number of securities. <br /><br /> Portfolio Turnover Risk - Daily rebalancing of Fund holdings, which is required to keep leverage consistent with a single day investment objective, will cause a higher level of portfolio transactions than compared to most funds. Additionally, active trading of the Fund's shares may cause more frequent purchase and sales activities that could, in certain circumstances, increase the number of portfolio transactions. High levels of transactions increase brokerage costs and may result in increased taxable capital gains. <br /><br /> Small- and Mid-Cap Company Investment Risk - The Index and, by extension, the Fund are exposed to the risks posed by stocks of small- and mid-cap companies. The risk of equity investing may be particularly acute for securities of issuers with smaller market capitalizations. Small- and mid-cap company stocks may trade at greater spreads or lower trading volumes, and may be less liquid than the stocks of larger companies. Small- and mid-cap companies may have limited product lines or resources, may be dependent upon a particular market niche and may have greater fluctuations in price than the stocks of larger companies. Further, stocks of small- and mid-sized companies could be more difficult to liquidate during market downturns compared to larger, more widely traded companies. In addition, small- and mid-cap companies may lack the financial and personnel resources to handle economic or industry-wide setbacks and, as a result, such setbacks could have a greater effect on small- and mid-cap security prices. <br /><br /> Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's full Prospectus for additional details. <b>Investment Results </b> The bar chart below shows how the Fund&#8217;s investment results for Investor Class shares have varied from year to year, and the table shows how the Fund&#8217;s average annual total returns for various periods compare with a broad measure of market performance.

The return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result of each day&#8217;s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ from two times (2x) the return of the MSCI EAFE Index (the &#8220;Index&#8221;) for that period.<b> For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money when the level of the Index is flat over time, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money over time even if the level of the Index rises.</b> Longer holding periods, higher index volatility and greater leverage each exacerbate the impact of compounding on a fund&#8217;s returns. During periods of higher Index volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the Fund&#8217;s return as much as or more than the return of the Index. <br/><br/>The percentage change of the Fund&#8217;s NAV per share each day may differ, perhaps significantly, from two times (2x) the percentage change of the Index on such day. This is due primarily to the time difference in determining the level of the Index (11:30 a.m., Eastern Time) and valuation of the Fund (4:00 p.m., Eastern Time).<br/><br/>Because the level of the Index is not determined at the same time the Fund&#8217;s NAV is calculated, correlation to the Index will be measured by comparing the daily total return of the Fund&#8217;s NAV per share to the daily total return of one or more U.S. exchange-traded securities or instruments that reflect the values of the securities underlying the Index as of the Fund&#8217;s NAV calculation time.<br/><br/><b>The Fund is different from most funds in that it seeks leveraged returns relative to the Index and only on a daily basis.

A significant portion of assets invested in the Fund come from professional money managers and investors who use the Fund as part of active trading or tactical asset allocation strategies. These strategies often call for frequent trading to take advantage of anticipated changes in market conditions, which could increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund. In addition, large movements of assets into and out of the Fund may have a negative impact on the Fund&#8217;s ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund&#8217;s expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. <br /><br />Correlation Risk - A number of factors may affect the Fund&#8217;s ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The factors that may adversely affect the Fund&#8217;s correlation with the Index include fees, expenses, transaction costs, income items, valuation methodology, accounting standards and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities in which the Fund invests. The Fund may not have investment exposure to all securities in the Index, or its weighting of investment exposure to such securities may be different from that of the Index. In addition, the Fund may invest in securities not included in the Index. The Fund may also be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or under- exposed to the Index. Activities surrounding Index reconstitutions or other Index rebalancing events may hinder the Fund&#8217;s ability to meet its investment objective. <br /><br />Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk - An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities, or the ability to buy or sell certain securities may be restricted, which may result in the Fund being unable to buy or sell certain securities. In such circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses. <br /><br />Equity and Market Risk - The equity markets are volatile, and the value of securities and other instruments correlated with the equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day-to-day. Equity markets are subject to political, regulatory, market and economic developments, as well as developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. Volatility in the markets and/or market developments may cause the value of an investment in the Fund to decrease. <br /><br />Growth Investing Risk - An investment in growth stocks may be susceptible to rapid price swings, especially during periods of economic uncertainty. Growth stocks typically have little or no dividend income to cushion the effect of adverse market conditions and may be particularly volatile in the event of earnings disappointments or other financial difficulties experienced by the issuer. <br /><br />Liquidity Risk - In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the securities in which the Fund invests, the Fund might not be able to acquire or dispose of certain holdings quickly or at prices that represent true market value in the judgment of ProFund Advisors. Markets for the securities in which the Fund invests may be disrupted by a number of events, including but not limited to economic crises, natural disasters, new legislation, or regulatory changes inside or outside of the U.S. For example, regulation limiting the ability of certain financial institutions to invest in certain securities would likely reduce the liquidity of those securities. Such situations may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving a high correlation with the Index. <br /><br />Portfolio Turnover Risk - The Fund&#8217;s strategy typically involves high portfolio turnover to manage the Fund&#8217;s investment exposure. Additionally, active trading of the Fund&#8217;s shares may cause more frequent purchase and sales activities that could, in certain circumstances, increase the number of portfolio transactions. High levels of transactions increase brokerage costs and may result in increased taxable capital gains. <br /><br />Small- and Mid-Cap Company Investment Risk - The Index and, by extension, the Fund are exposed to the risks posed by stocks of small- and mid-cap companies. The risk of equity investing may be particularly acute for securities of issuers with smaller market capitalizations. Small- and mid-cap company stocks may trade at greater spreads or lower trading volumes, and may be less liquid than the stocks of larger companies. Small- and mid-cap companies may have limited product lines or resources, may be dependent upon a particular market niche and may have greater fluctuations in price than the stocks of larger companies. Further, stocks of small- and mid-sized companies could be more difficult to liquidate during market downturns compared to larger, more widely traded companies. In addition, small- and mid-cap companies may lack the financial and personnel resources to handle economic or industry-wide setbacks and, as a result, such setbacks could have a greater effect on small- and mid-cap security prices. <br /><br />Please see &#8220;Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks&#8221; in the Fund&#8217;s full Prospectus for additional details. The bar chart below shows how the Fund&#8217;s investment results for Investor Class shares have varied from year to year, and the table shows how the Fund&#8217;s average annual total returns for various periods compare with a broad measure of market performance. This information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. Past results (before and after taxes) are not predictive of future results. Updated information on the Fund&#8217;s results can be obtained by visiting ProFunds.com. The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with transacting in securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the example or the table above. 0.0075 0.0075 <b>Portfolio Turnover </b> <b>Annual Returns of Investor Class Shares as of December 31 each year </b> 0 The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or &#8220;turns over&#8221; its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when the Fund&#8217;s shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund&#8217;s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund&#8217;s annual portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its entire portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instrument or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund&#8217;s portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher. 0.01 <b>Principal Investment Strategies </b> <div style="display:none">~ http://www.ProFunds.com/role/ScheduleExpenseExampleTransposedMID-CAPGROWTHPROFUND column period compact * ~</div> 0.0115 0.0115 0.0003 0.0003 0.0193 0.0293 -0.0012 -0.0012 0.0181 0.0281 <div style="display:none">~ http://www.ProFunds.com/role/ScheduleAnnualTotalReturnsMID-CAPGROWTHPROFUNDBarChart column period compact * ~</div> <b>Fees and Expenses of the Fund </b> The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy or hold shares of the Fund.

Although your actual cost may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be: <br /><br /> <b>You could lose money by investing in the Fund. </b><br /><br /> Risks Associated with the Use of Derivatives - The Fund uses investment techniques, such as investing in derivatives, that may be considered aggressive. Investing in derivatives may expose the Fund to greater risks than investing directly in the reference asset(s) underlying those derivatives, such as counterparty risk, liquidity risk and increased correlation risk (each as discussed below). When the Fund uses derivatives, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the reference asset(s) and the derivative, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. Moreover, with respect to the use of swap agreements, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund's net assets, the terms of a swap agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund. In that event, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve the desired exposure consistent with the Fund's investment objective. This, in turn, may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective, even if the Index reverses all or a portion of its intraday move by the end of the day. Any financing, borrowing and other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the effect of lowering the Fund's return. <br /><br /> Leverage Risk - The Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its assets in seeking to achieve its investment objective - a form of leverage - and will lose more money in market environments adverse to its daily objective than a similar fund that does not employ such leverage. The use of such leverage could result in the total loss of an investor's investment. For example, because the Fund includes a multiplier of two times (2x) the Index, a single day movement in the Index approaching 50% at any point in the day could result in the total loss of a shareholder's investment if that movement is contrary to the investment objective of the Fund, even if the Index subsequently moves in an opposite direction, eliminating all or a portion of the earlier movement. This would be the case with any such single day movements in the Index, even if the Index maintains a level greater than zero at all times. <br /><br /> Compounding Risk - As a result of compounding and because the Fund has a single day investment objective, the Fund's performance for periods greater than a single day is likely to be either greater than or less than the Index performance times the stated multiple in the Fund's investment objective, before accounting for fees and fund expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but has a more significant impact on a leveraged fund. Particularly during periods of higher Index volatility, compounding will cause results for periods longer than a single day to vary from two times (2x) the return of the Index. This effect becomes more pronounced as volatility increases. Fund performance for periods greater than a single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: a) Index volatility; b) Index performance ; c) period of time; d) financing rates associated with leveraged exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and f) dividends or interest paid with respect to securities in the Index. The chart below illustrates the impact of two principal factors - Index volatility and Index performance - on Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of Index volatility and Index performance over a one-year period. Performance shown in the chart assumes: (a) no dividends paid with respect to securities included in the Index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain leveraged exposure ) of zero percent. If Fund expenses and/or actual borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the Fund's performance would be different than shown. <br /><br /> Areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than two times (2x) the performance of the Index. <b>For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money when the level of the Index is flat and can even lose money when the level of the Index rises. </b><br /><br/><img alt="chart" src="g4244902xefr.jpg"></img><br/> The foregoing table is intended to isolate the effect of Index volatility and Index performance on the return of the Fund. For example, the Fund may incorrectly be expected to achieve a -40% return on a yearly basis if the Index return were -20%, absent the effects of compounding. However, as the table shows, with Index volatility of 50%, the Fund could be expected to return -50.2% under such a scenario. The Fund's actual returns may be significantly greater or less than the returns shown above as a result of any of the factors discussed above or in "Principal Risks - Correlation Risk" below. <br /><br /> The Index's annualized historical volatility rate for the five -year period ended September 30, 2012 was 29.86%. The Index's highest September to September volatility rate during the five -year period was 47.74% (September 30, 2009). The Index's annualized performance for the five -year period ended September 30, 2012 was 3.82%. <br /><br /> Historical Index volatility and performance are not indications of what the Index volatility and performance will be in the future.<br /><br /> <b>For additional graphs and charts demonstrating the effects of Index volatility and Index performance on the long-term performance of the Fund, see "Principal Risks Specific to ProFunds - Compounding Risk" in the Fund's full Prospectus and "Special Note Regarding the Correlation Risks of Geared Funds" in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.</b><br /><br /> Active Investor Risk - The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. A significant portion of assets invested in the Fund come from professional money managers and investors who use the Fund as part of active trading or tactical asset allocation strategies. These strategies often call for frequent trading to take advantage of anticipated changes in market conditions, which could increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund. In addition, large movements of assets into and out of the Fund may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. <br /><br /> Correlation Risk - A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. In order to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index, the Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio daily to keep exposure consistent with its investment objective. Being materially over-or under-exposed to the Index may prevent the Fund from achieving a high degree of correlation with the Index. Market disruptions or closure, regulatory restrictions or extreme market volatility will adversely affect the Fund's ability to adjust exposure to requisite levels. The target amount of portfolio exposure is impacted dynamically by the Index's movements. Because of this, it is unlikely that the Fund will have perfect exposure (i.e., 2x) to the Index at the end of each day and the likelihood of being materially over- or under-exposed is higher on days when the Index level is volatile near the close of the trading day. A number of other factors may also adversely affect the Fund's correlation with the Index, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, income items, valuation methodology, accounting standards and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests. The Fund may not have investment exposure to all securities in the Index, or its weighting of investment exposure to such securities may be different from that of the Index. In addition, the Fund may invest in securities or financial instruments not included in the Index. The Fund may also be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or under-exposed to the Index. Activities surrounding Index reconstitutions or other Index rebalancing events may hinder the Fund's ability to meet its daily investment objective on or around that day. <br /><br /> Counterparty Risk - The Fund will be subject to credit risk (i.e., the risk that a counterparty is unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its contractual obligations) with respect to the amount it expects to receive from counterparties to derivatives and repurchase agreements entered into by the Fund. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or fails to perform its obligations, the value of your investment in the Fund may decline.<br /><br /> Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk - An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities, or the ability to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may result in the Fund being unable to buy or sell certain securities or derivatives. In such circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses. <br /><br /> Equity and Market Risk - The equity markets are volatile, and the value of securities, swaps, futures, options contracts and other instruments correlated with the equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day-to-day. Equity markets are subject to political, regulatory, market and economic developments, as well as developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. Volatility in the markets and/or market developments may cause the value of an investment in the Fund to decrease. <br /><br /> Liquidity Risk - In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests, the Fund might not be able to acquire or dispose of certain holdings quickly or at prices that represent true market value in the judgment of ProFund Advisors. Markets for the securities in which the Fund invests may be disrupted by a number of events, including but not limited to economic crises, natural disasters, new legislation, or regulatory changes inside or outside of the U.S. For example, regulation limiting the ability of certain financial institutions to invest in certain securities would likely reduce the liquidity of those securities. Such situations may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving a high correlation with the Index. <br /><br /> Non-Diversification Risk - The Fund is classified as "non-diversified" under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers susceptible to a single economic, political or regulatory event, or in financial instruments with a single counterparty if ProFund Advisors determines that doing so is the most efficient means of meeting the Fund's investment objective. This makes the performance of the Fund more susceptible to adverse impact to an issuer or counterparty than a diversified fund might be. This risk may be particularly acute when the Index is comprised of a small number of securities. <br /><br /> Portfolio Turnover Risk - Daily rebalancing of Fund holdings, which is required to keep leverage consistent with a single day investment objective, will cause a higher level of portfolio transactions than compared to most funds. Additionally, active trading of the Fund's shares may cause more frequent purchase and sales activities that could, in certain circumstances, increase the number of portfolio transactions. High levels of transactions increase brokerage costs and may result in increased taxable capital gains. <br /><br /> Small- and Mid-Cap Company Investment Risk - The Index and, by extension, the Fund are exposed to the risks posed by stocks of small- and mid-cap companies. The risk of equity investing may be particularly acute for securities of issuers with smaller market capitalizations. Small- and mid-cap company stocks may trade at greater spreads or lower trading volumes, and may be less liquid than the stocks of larger companies. Small- and mid-cap companies may have limited product lines or resources, may be dependent upon a particular market niche and may have greater fluctuations in price than the stocks of larger companies. Further, stocks of small- and mid-sized companies could be more difficult to liquidate during market downturns compared to larger, more widely traded companies. In addition, small- and mid-cap companies may lack the financial and personnel resources to handle economic or industry-wide setbacks and, as a result, such setbacks could have a greater effect on small- and mid-cap security prices. <br /><br /> Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's full Prospectus for additional details. <div style="display:none">~ http://www.ProFunds.com/role/ScheduleAverageAnnualTotalReturnsTransposedMID-CAPGROWTHPROFUND column period compact * ~</div> The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with transacting in securities and derivatives.

The Index includes 85% of free float-adjusted, market capitalization in each industry group in developed market countries, excluding the U.S. and Canada. As of September 30, 2012, the Index consisted of the following 22 developed market country indexes: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. As of September 30, 2012, the Index included companies with capitalizations between $683.8 million and $208.2 billion. The average capitalization of the companies comprising the Index was approximately $11.1 billion. The Index is published under the Bloomberg ticker symbol &#8220;MXEA.&#8221; <br /><br /> The types of securities and derivatives that the Fund will principally invest in are set forth below. Cash balances arising from the use of derivatives will typically be held in money market instruments. <br /><br /> <ul type="square"><li style="margin-left:-20px"> Derivatives &#8212; The Fund invests in derivatives, which are financial instruments whose value is derived from the value of an underlying asset (including ETFs), interest rate or index. The Fund invests in derivatives as a substitute for investing directly in stocks in order to gain leveraged exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:</li></ul> <ul type="square"><li> <b>Swap Agreements </b>&#8212; Contracts entered into primarily with major global financial institutions for a specified period ranging from a day to more than one year. In a standard &#8220;swap&#8221; transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross return to be exchanged or &#8220;swapped&#8221; between the parties is calculated with respect to a &#8220;notional amount,&#8221; e.g., the return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a &#8220;basket&#8221; of securities or an ETF representing a particular index.</li></ul> <ul type="square"><li> <b>Futures Contracts </b>&#8212; A standardized contract traded on, or subject to the rules of, an exchange that calls for the future delivery of a specified quantity and type of asset at a specified time and place or, alternatively, may call for cash settlement. </li></ul> <ul type="square"><li style="margin-left:-20px"> Money Market Instruments &#8212; The Fund invests in short-term cash instruments that have a remaining maturity of 397 days or less and exhibit high quality credit profiles:</li></ul><ul type="square"><li> <b>U.S. Treasury Bills </b>&#8212; U.S. government securities that have initial maturities of one year or less, and are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States.</li></ul> <ul type="square"><li><b> Repurchase Agreements </b>&#8212; Contracts in which a seller of securities, usually U.S. government securities or other money market instruments, agrees to buy them back at a specified time and price. Repurchase agreements are primarily used by the Fund as a short-term investment vehicle for cash positions.</li></ul> ProFund Advisors uses a mathematical approach to investing. Using this approach, ProFund Advisors determines the type, quantity and mix of investment positions that the Fund should hold to approximate on a daily basis the performance of two time (2x) the Index. The Fund may gain exposure to only a representative sample of the securities in the Index, which exposure is intended to have aggregate characteristics similar to those of the Index, and may invest in securities or financial instruments not contained in the Index. ProFund Advisors does not invest the assets of the Fund in securities or financial instruments based on ProFund Advisors&#8217; view of the investment merit of a particular security, instrument, or company, other than for cash management purposes, nor does it conduct conventional research or analysis (other than in determining counterparty creditworthiness), or forecast market movement or trends, in managing the assets of the Fund. The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in securities and/or financial instruments that, in combination, provide leveraged exposure to the Index without regard to market conditions, trends or direction. <br /><br /> At the close of the U.S. securities markets each trading day, the Fund will seek to position its portfolio so that its exposure to the Index is consistent with the Fund&#8217;s investment objective. The Index&#8217;s movements during the day will affect whether the Fund&#8217;s portfolio needs to be re-positioned. For example, if the Index has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise. As a result the Fund&#8217;s exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the Index has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall. As a result, the Fund&#8217;s exposure will need to be decreased.<br /><br /> <b>Because of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each day&#8217;s return over time, the return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result of each day&#8217;s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ from two times (2x) the return of the Index over the same period. The Fund will lose money when the level of the Index is flat over time, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money over time even if the level of the Index rises, as a result of daily rebalancing, the Index&#8217;s volatility and the effects of compounding.

The Index is a measure of large-cap U.S. stock market performance. It is a float-adjusted, market capitalization weighted index of 500 U.S. operating companies and real estate investment trusts selected through a process that factors in criteria such as liquidity, price, market capitalization and financial viability. As of September 30, 2012, the Index included companies with capitalizations between $1.4 billion and $625.3 billion. The average capitalization of the companies comprising the Index was approximately $27.3 billion. The Index is published under the Bloomberg ticker symbol &#8220;SPX.&#8221;<br/><br/>The types of securities and derivatives that the Fund will principally invest in are set forth below. Cash balances arising from the use of derivatives will typically be held in money market instruments.<ul type="square"><li style="margin-left:-20px">Equity Securities &#8212; The Fund invests in common stock issued by public companies.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li style="margin-left:-20px">Derivatives &#8212; The Fund invests in derivatives, which are financial instruments whose value is derived from the value of an underlying asset, interest rate or index. The Fund invests in derivatives as a substitute for investing directly in stocks in order to gain leveraged exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:</li></ul><ul type="square"><li><b>Swap Agreements</b> &#8212; Contracts entered into primarily with major global financial institutions for a specified period ranging from a day to more than one year. In a standard &#8220;swap&#8221; transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross return to be exchanged or &#8220;swapped&#8221; between the parties is calculated with respect to a &#8220;notional amount,&#8221; e.g., the return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a &#8220;basket&#8221; of securities representing a particular index.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li> <b>Futures Contracts</b> &#8212; A standardized contract traded on, or subject to the rules of, an exchange that calls for the future delivery of a specified quantity and type of asset at a specified time and place or, alternatively, may call for cash settlement.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li style="margin-left:-20px">Money Market Instruments &#8212; The Fund invests in short-term cash instruments that have a remaining maturity of 397 days or less and exhibit high quality credit profiles; including:</li></ul><ul type="square"><li> <b>U.S. Treasury Bills</b> &#8212; U.S. government securities that have initial maturities of one year or less, and are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li><b>Repurchase Agreements</b> &#8212; Contracts in which a seller of securities, usually U.S. government securities or other money market instruments, agrees to buy them back at a specified time and price. Repurchase agreements are primarily used by the Fund as a short-term investment vehicle for cash positions.</li></ul>ProFund Advisors uses a mathematical approach to investing. Using this approach, ProFund Advisors determines the type, quantity and mix of investment positions that the Fund should hold to approximate on a daily basis the performance of two times (2x) the Index. The Fund may gain exposure to only a representative sample of the securities in the Index, which exposure is intended to have aggregate characteristics similar to those of the Index, and may invest in securities or financial instruments not contained in the Index. ProFund Advisors does not invest the assets of the Fund in securities or financial instruments based on ProFund Advisors&#8217; view of the investment merit of a particular security, instrument, or company, other than for cash management purposes, nor does it conduct conventional research or analysis (other than in determining counterparty creditworthiness), or forecast market movement or trends, in managing the assets of the Fund. The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in securities and/or financial instruments that, in combination, provide leveraged exposure to the Index without regard to market conditions, trends or direction.<br/><br/>At the close of the U.S. securities markets each trading day, the Fund will seek to position its portfolio so that its exposure to the Index is consistent with the Fund&#8217;s investment objective. The Index&#8217;s movements during the day will affect whether the Fund&#8217;s portfolio needs to be repositioned. For example, if the Index has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise. As a result, the Fund&#8217;s exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the Index has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall. As a result, the Fund&#8217;s exposure will need to be decreased.<br/><br/><b>Because of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each day&#8217;s return over time, the return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result of each day&#8217;s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ from two times (2x) the return of the Index over the same period. The Fund will lose money when the level of the Index is flat over time, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money over time even if the level of the Index rises, as a result of daily rebalancing, the Index&#8217;s volatility and the effects of compounding.

Investing in derivatives may expose the Fund to greater risks than investing directly in the reference asset(s) underlying those derivatives, such as counterparty risk, liquidity risk and increased correlation risk (each as discussed below). When the Fund uses derivatives, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the reference asset(s) and the derivative, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. Moreover, with respect to the use of swap agreements, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund's net assets, the terms of a swap agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund. In that event, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve the desired exposure consistent with the Fund's investment objective. This, in turn, may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective, even if the Index reverses all or a portion of its intraday move by the end of the day. Any financing, borrowing and other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the effect of lowering the Fund's return. <br /><br />Leverage Risk - The Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its assets in seeking to achieve its investment objective - a form of leverage - and will lose more money in market environments adverse to its daily objective than a similar fund that does not employ such leverage. The use of such leverage could result in the total loss of an investor's investment. For example, because the Fund includes a multiplier of two times (2x) the Index, a single day movement in the Index approaching 50% at any point in the day could result in the total loss of a shareholder's investment if that movement is contrary to the investment objective of the Fund, even if the Index subsequently moves in an opposite direction, eliminating all or a portion of the earlier movement. This would be the case with any such single day movements in the Index, even if the Index maintains a level greater than zero at all times. <br /><br />Compounding Risk - As a result of compounding and because the Fund has a single day investment objective, the Fund's performance for periods greater than a single day is likely to be either greater than or less than the Index performance times the stated multiple in the Fund's investment objective, before accounting for fees and fund expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but has a more significant impact on a leveraged fund. Particularly during periods of higher Index volatility, compounding will cause results for periods longer than a single day to vary from two times (2x) the return of the Index. This effect becomes more pronounced as volatility increases. Fund performance for periods greater than a single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: a) Index volatility; b) Index performance; c) period of time; d) financing rates associated with leveraged exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and f) dividends or interest paid with respect to securities in the Index. The chart below illustrates the impact of two principal factors - Index volatility and Index performance - on Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of Index volatility and Index performance over a one-year period. Performance shown in the chart assumes: (a) no dividends paid with respect to securities included in the Index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain leveraged exposure) of zero percent. If Fund expenses and/or actual borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the Fund's performance would be different than shown. <br /><br /> Areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than two times (2x) the performance of the Index. <b>For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money when the level of the Index is flat and can even lose money when the level of the Index rises. </b><br/><br /><img alt="chart" src="g4244902xefr.jpg"></img><br/> The foregoing table is intended to isolate the effect of Index volatility and Index performance on the return of the Fund. For example, the Fund may incorrectly be expected to achieve a -40% return on a yearly basis if the Index return were -20%, absent the effects of compounding. However, as the table shows, with Index volatility of 50%, the Fund could be expected to return -50.2% under such a scenario. The Fund's actual returns may be significantly greater or less than the returns shown above as a result of any of the factors discussed above or in "Principal Risks - Correlation Risk" below. <br /><br /> The Index's annualized historical volatility rate for the five -year period ended September 30, 2012 was 39.05%. The Index's highest September to September volatility rate during the five -year period was 63.20% (September 30, 2009). The Index's annualized performance for the five -year period ended September 30, 2012 was -3.41%. <br /><br /> Historical Index volatility and performance are not indications of what the Index volatility and performance will be in the future. The volatility of U.S. exchange-traded securities or instruments that reflect the value of the underlying Index may differ from the volatility of the Index.<br /><br /> <b>For additional graphs and charts demonstrating the effects of Index volatility and Index performance on the long-term performance of the Fund, see "Principal Risks Specific to ProFunds - Compounding Risk" in the Fund's full Prospectus and "Special Note Regarding the Correlation Risks of Geared Funds" in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.</b><br /><br /> Active Investor Risk - The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. A significant portion of assets invested in the Fund come from professional money managers and investors who use the Fund as part of active trading or tactical asset allocation strategies. These strategies often call for frequent trading to take advantage of anticipated changes in market conditions, which could increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund. In addition, large movements of assets into and out of the Fund may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. <br /><br /> Correlation Risk - A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. <br /><br /> In order to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index, the Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio daily to keep exposure consistent with its investment objective. Being materially over-or under-exposed to the Index may prevent the Fund from achieving a high degree of correlation with the Index. Market disruptions or closure, regulatory restrictions or extreme market volatility will adversely affect the Fund's ability to adjust exposure to requisite levels. The target amount of portfolio exposure is impacted dynamically by the Index's movements. Because of this, it is unlikely that the Fund will have perfect exposure (i.e., 2x) to the Index at the end of each day and the likelihood of being materially over- or under-exposed is higher on days when the Index level is volatile near the close of the trading day. <br /><br /> A number of other factors may also adversely affect the Fund's correlation with the Index, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, income items, valuation methodology, accounting standards and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests. The Fund may not have investment exposure to all securities in the Index, or its weighting of investment exposure to such securities may be different from that of the Index. In addition, the Fund may invest in securities or financial instruments not included in the Index. The Fund may also be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or under-exposed to the Index. Activities surrounding Index reconstitutions or other Index rebalancing events may hinder the Fund's ability to meet its daily investment objective on or around that day. <br /><br /> Counterparty Risk - The Fund will be subject to credit risk (i.e., the risk that a counterparty is unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its contractual obligations) with respect to the amount it expects to receive from counterparties to derivatives and repurchase agreements entered into by the Fund. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or fails to perform its obligations, the value of your investment in the Fund may decline. <br /><br /> Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk - An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities, or the ability to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may result in the Fund being unable to buy or sell certain securities or derivatives. In such circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses. <br /><br /> Equity and Market Risk - The equity markets are volatile, and the value of securities, swaps, futures, options contracts and other instruments correlated with the equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day-to-day. Equity markets are subject to political, regulatory, market and economic developments, as well as developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. Volatility in the markets and/or market developments may cause the value of an investment in the Fund to decrease. <br /><br /> Exposure to Asian Investments Risk - The Fund is generally exposed, to a greater extent than more geographically diversified funds, to risks associated with investments in Asia. Such risks include, but are not limited to (i) political, economic, or social instability in certain countries in the region; (ii) a heightened risk of nationalization of companies or other forms of governmental market interference; (iii) exposure to less liquid and more volatile securities markets; (iv) natural disasters more likely to occur in particular Asian countries; (v) heightened exposure to foreign currency risks (e.g., restrictions on the flow of foreign currency, currency devaluations, and volatility in currency prices); and (vi) long running border disputes and other conflicts among Asian countries. <br /><br /> Exposure to Foreign Currency Risk - Investments denominated in foreign currencies are exposed to risk factors in addition to investments denominated in U.S. dollars. The value of an investment denominated in a foreign currency could change significantly as foreign currencies strengthen or weaken relative to the U.S. dollar. Risks related to foreign currencies also include those related to economic or political developments, market inefficiencies or a higher risk that essential investment information may be incomplete, unavailable, or inaccurate. A. U.S. dollar investment in Depositary Receipts or ordinary shares of foreign issuers traded on U.S. exchanges is subject to foreign currency risk. <br /><br /> Exposure to Foreign Investments Risk - Exposure to securities of foreign issuers may subject the Fund to increased risk. Various factors related to foreign investments may negatively impact the Index's performance, such as: i) fluctuations in the value of the applicable foreign currency; ii) differences in securities settlement practices; iii) uncertainty associated with evidence of ownership of investments in countries that lack centralized custodial services; iv) possible regulation of, or other limitations on, investments by U.S. investors in foreign investments; v) potentially higher brokerage commissions; vi) the possibility that a foreign government may withhold portions of interest and dividends at the source; vii) taxation of income earned in foreign countries or other foreign taxes imposed; viii) foreign exchange controls, which may include suspension of the ability to transfer currency from a foreign country; ix) less publicly available information about foreign issuers; x) changes in the denomination currency of a foreign investment; and xi) less certain legal systems in which the Fund might encounter difficulties or be unable to pursue legal remedies. Foreign investments also may be more susceptible to political, social, economic and regional factors than might be the case with U.S. securities. <br /><br /> Because the Fund's foreign investments will be in developing or "emerging market" countries, all the aforementioned factors are heightened and foreign investments risk is higher. <br /><br /> Exposure to Latin American Investments Risk - The Fund is generally exposed, to a greater extent than more geographically diversified funds, to risks associated with investments in Latin American countries. Such risks include, but are not limited to (i) political, economic, or social instability in certain Latin American countries; (ii) a heightened risk of high inflation and government deficits in certain Latin American countries; (iii) natural disasters particularly likely to occur in Latin America; (iv) heightened risk of currency devaluations; (v) risks associated with Latin American countries' significant dependence on the health of the U.S. economy; and (vi) risks associated with Latin American economies' sensitivity to fluctuations in the price of commodities such as oil and gas, minerals, and metals (resulting from those economies' heavy reliance on the export of such commodities). <br /><br /> Geographic Concentration Risk - Because the Fund focuses its investments in particular foreign countries or geographic regions, it may be more volatile than a more geographically diversified fund. The performance of the Fund will be affected by the political, social and economic conditions in those foreign countries and geographic regions and subject to the related risks. <br /><br /> Liquidity Risk - In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests, the Fund might not be able to acquire or dispose of certain holdings quickly or at prices that represent true market value in the judgment of ProFund Advisors. Markets for the securities in which the Fund invests may be disrupted by a number of events, including but not limited to economic crises, natural disasters, new legislation, or regulatory changes inside or outside of the U.S. For example, regulation limiting the ability of certain financial institutions to invest in certain securities would likely reduce the liquidity of those securities. Such situations may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving a high correlation with the Index. <br /><br /> Non-Diversification Risk - The Fund is classified as "non-diversified" under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers susceptible to a single economic, political or regulatory event, or in financial instruments with a single counterparty if ProFund Advisors determines that doing so is the most efficient means of meeting the Fund's investment objective. This makes the performance of the Fund more susceptible to adverse impact to an issuer or counterparty than a diversified fund might be. This risk may be particularly acute when the Index is comprised of a small number of securities. <br /><br /> Portfolio Turnover Risk - Daily rebalancing of Fund holdings, which is required to keep leverage consistent with a single day investment objective, will cause a higher level of portfolio transactions than compared to most funds. Additionally, active trading of the Fund's shares may cause more frequent purchase and sales activities that could, in certain circumstances, increase the number of portfolio transactions. High levels of transactions increase brokerage costs and may result in increased taxable capital gains. <br /><br /> Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's full Prospectus for additional details. -0.0012 -0.0012 -0.0008 -0.0107 0.0211 -0.0205 -0.0209 -0.0173 -0.0025 -0.0303 10 10 0.0086 0.0082 0.0074 -0.0013 0.0292 November 30, 2013 <b>Principal Risks </b> <b>You could lose money by investing in the Fund. </b><br/><br/>Risks Associated with the Use of Derivatives - The Fund uses investment techniques, such as investing in derivatives, that may be considered aggressive.

If Fund expenses and/or actual borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the Fund's performance would be different than shown. <br /><br />Areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than two times (2x) the performance of the Index. <b>For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money when the level of the Index is flat and can even lose money when the level of the Index rises. </b><br/><br/><img alt="chart" src="g4244902xefr.jpg"></img><br/>The foregoing table is intended to isolate the effect of Index volatility and Index performance on the return of the Fund. For example, the Fund may incorrectly be expected to achieve a -40% return on a yearly basis if the Index return were -20%, absent the effects of compounding. However, as the table shows, with Index volatility of 50%, the Fund could be expected to return -50.2% under such a scenario. The Fund's actual returns may be significantly greater or less than the returns shown above as a result of any of the factors discussed above or in "Principal Risks - Correlation Risk" below. <br /><br />The Index's annualized historical volatility rate for the five -year period ended September 30, 2012 was 26.54%. The Index's highest September to September volatility rate during the five -year period was 42.69% (September 30, 2009). The Index's annualized performance for the five -year period ended September 30, 2012 was 1.05%. <br /><br />Historical Index volatility and performance are not indications of what the Index volatility and performance will be in the future.<br /><br /><b>For additional graphs and charts demonstrating the effects of Index volatility and Index performance on the long-term performance of the Fund, see "Principal Risks Specific to ProFunds - Compounding Risk" in the Fund's full Prospectus and "Special Note Regarding the Correlation Risks of Geared Funds" in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.</b><br /><br />Active Investor Risk - The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. A significant portion of assets invested in the Fund come from professional money managers and investors who use the Fund as part of active trading or tactical asset allocation strategies. These strategies often call for frequent trading to take advantage of anticipated changes in market conditions, which could increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund. In addition, large movements of assets into and out of the Fund may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. <br /><br />Correlation Risk - A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. <br /><br />In order to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index, the Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio daily to keep exposure consistent with its investment objective. Being materially over-or under-exposed to the Index may prevent the Fund from achieving a high degree of correlation with the Index. Market disruptions or closure, regulatory restrictions or extreme market volatility will adversely affect the Fund's ability to adjust exposure to requisite levels. The target amount of portfolio exposure is impacted dynamically by the Index's movements. Because of this, it is unlikely that the Fund will have perfect exposure (i.e., 2x) to the Index at the end of each day and the likelihood of being materially over- or under-exposed is higher on days when the Index level is volatile near the close of the trading day. <br /><br />A number of other factors may also adversely affect the Fund's correlation with the Index, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, income items, valuation methodology, accounting standards and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests. The Fund may not have investment exposure to all securities in the Index, or its weighting of investment exposure to such securities may be different from that of the Index. In addition, the Fund may invest in securities or financial instruments not included in the Index. The Fund may also be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or under-exposed to the Index. Activities surrounding Index reconstitutions or other Index rebalancing events may hinder the Fund's ability to meet its daily investment objective on or around that day. <br /><br />Counterparty Risk - The Fund will be subject to credit risk (i.e., the risk that a counterparty is unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its contractual obligations) with respect to the amount it expects to receive from counterparties to derivatives and repurchase agreements entered into by the Fund. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or fails to perform its obligations, the value of your investment in the Fund may decline. <br /><br />Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk - An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities, or the ability to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may result in the Fund being unable to buy or sell certain securities or derivatives. In such circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses. <br /><br />Equity and Market Risk - The equity markets are volatile, and the value of securities, swaps, futures, options contracts and other instruments correlated with the equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day-to-day. Equity markets are subject to political, regulatory, market and economic developments, as well as developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. Volatility in the markets and/or market developments may cause the value of an investment in the Fund to decrease. <br /><br />Liquidity Risk - In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests, the Fund might not be able to acquire or dispose of certain holdings quickly or at prices that represent true market value in the judgment of ProFund Advisors. Markets for the securities in which the Fund invests may be disrupted by a number of events, including but not limited to economic crises, natural disasters, new legislation, or regulatory changes inside or outside of the U.S. For example, regulation limiting the ability of certain financial institutions to invest in certain securities would likely reduce the liquidity of those securities. Such situations may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving a high correlation with the Index. <br /><br />Non-Diversification Risk - The Fund is classified as "non-diversified" under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers susceptible to a single economic, political or regulatory event, or in financial instruments with a single counterparty if ProFund Advisors determines that doing so is the most efficient means of meeting the Fund's investment objective. This makes the performance of the Fund more susceptible to adverse impact to an issuer or counterparty than a diversified fund might be. This risk may be particularly acute when the Index is comprised of a small number of securities. <br /><br />Portfolio Turnover Risk - Daily rebalancing of Fund holdings, which is required to keep leverage consistent with a single day investment objective, will cause a higher level of portfolio transactions than compared to most funds. Additionally, active trading of the Fund's shares may cause more frequent purchase and sales activities that could, in certain circumstances, increase the number of portfolio transactions. High levels of transactions increase brokerage costs and may result in increased taxable capital gains. <br /><br />Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's full Prospectus for additional details. 1.0052 0.3199 0.0007 0.2609 -0.1236 -0.6571 0.3633 0.4962 -0.1914 <b>Investment Results </b> The bar chart below shows how the Fund&#8217;s investment results for Investor Class shares have varied from year to year, and the table shows how the Fund&#8217;s average annual total returns for various periods compare with a broad measure of market performance.

The Index is a free float-adjusted capitalization-weighted index. The Index is designed to track the performance of a basket of companies who have their primary equity listing on a stock exchange of an emerging market country and who also have depositary receipts that trade on a U.S. exchange or on The NASDAQ Stock Market. Securities eligible for inclusion in the Index are evaluated to ensure their overall consistency with the character, design and purpose of the Index, which is to further its use as an effective benchmark. Decisions regarding additions to and removals from the Index are guided by certain pre-existing objective criteria. The Index is maintained by The Bank of New York Mellon. The Index currently consists of the following emerging market countries: Brazil, Korea, Mexico, Taiwan, China, South Africa, India, Russia, Indonesia, Chile, Colombia, Peru and Philippines. As of September 30, 2012, Index included companies with capitalizations between $5.3 billion and $253.8 billion.

The Index is a price-weighted index maintained by editors of The Wall Street Journal. The Index includes 30 large-cap, &#8220;blue-chip&#8221; U.S. stocks, excluding utility and transportation companies. Components are selected through a discretionary process with no pre-determined criteria; except that, components should be established U.S. companies that are leaders in their industries, have an excellent reputation, demonstrate sustained growth, are of interest to a large number of investors and accurately represent the sectors covered by the average. The Index is not limited to traditionally defined industrial stocks; instead, the Index serves as a measure of the entire U.S. market, covering such diverse industries as financial services, technology, retail, entertainment and consumer goods. Composition changes are rare, and generally occur only after corporate acquisitions or other dramatic shifts in a component&#8217;s core business. When such an event necessitates the replacement of one component, the entire Index is reviewed. As of September 30, 2012, the Index included companies with capitalizations between $9.4 billion and $422.1 billion. The average capitalization of the companies comprising the Index was approximately $135.6 billion. The Index is published under the Bloomberg ticker symbol &#8220;INDU.&#8221; <br /><br />The types of securities and derivatives that the Fund will principally invest in are set forth below. Cash balances arising from the use of derivatives will typically be held in money market instruments.<ul type="square"><li style="margin-left:-20px"> Equity Securities &#8212; The Fund invests in common stock issued by public companies.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li style="margin-left:-20px">Derivatives &#8212; The Fund invests in derivatives, which are financial instruments whose value is derived from the value of an underlying asset, interest rate or index. The Fund invests in derivatives as a substitute for investing directly in stocks in order to gain leveraged exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:</li></ul><ul type="square"><li><b>Swap Agreements</b> &#8212; Contracts entered into primarily with major global financial institutions for a specified period ranging from a day to more than one year. In a standard &#8220;swap&#8221; transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross return to be exchanged or &#8220;swapped&#8221; between the parties is calculated with respect to a &#8220;notional amount,&#8221; e.g., the return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a &#8220;basket&#8221; of securities representing a particular index.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li><b>Futures Contracts</b> &#8212; A standardized contract traded on, or subject to the rules of, an exchange that calls for the future delivery of a specified quantity and type of asset at a specified time and place or, alternatively, may call for cash settlement.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li style="margin-left:-20px">Money Market Instruments &#8212; The Fund invests in short-term cash instruments that have a remaining maturity of 397 days or less and exhibit high quality credit profiles; including:</li></ul><ul type="square"><li><b>U.S. Treasury Bills</b> &#8212; U.S. government securities that have initial maturities of one year or less, and are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li><b>Repurchase Agreements</b> &#8212; Contracts in which a seller of securities, usually U.S. government securities or other money market instruments, agrees to buy them back at a specified time and price. Repurchase agreements are primarily used by the Fund as a short-term investment vehicle for cash positions.</li></ul>ProFund Advisors uses a mathematical approach to investing. Using this approach, ProFund Advisors determines the type, quantity and mix of investment positions that the Fund should hold to approximate on a daily basis the performance of two times (2x) the Index. The Fund may gain exposure to only a representative sample of the securities in the Index, which exposure is intended to have aggregate characteristics similar to those of the Index, and may invest in securities or financial instruments not contained in the Index. ProFund Advisors does not invest the assets of the Fund in securities or financial instruments based on ProFund Advisors&#8217; view of the investment merit of a particular security, instrument, or company, other than for cash management purposes, nor does it conduct conventional research or analysis (other than in determining counterparty creditworthiness), or forecast market movement or trends, in managing the assets of the Fund. The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in securities and/or financial instruments that, in combination, provide leveraged exposure to the Index without regard to market conditions, trends or direction. <br /><br />At the close of the U.S. securities markets each trading day, the Fund will seek to position its portfolio so that its exposure to its the Index is consistent with the Fund&#8217;s investment objective. The Index&#8217;s movements during the day will affect whether the Fund&#8217;s portfolio needs to be re-positioned. For example, if the Index has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise. As a result, the Fund&#8217;s exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the Index has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall. As a result, the Fund&#8217;s exposure will need to be decreased.<br /><br /><b>Because of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each day&#8217;s return over time, the return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result of each day&#8217;s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ from two times (2x) the return of the Index over the same period. The Fund will lose money when the level of the Index is flat over time, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money over time even if the level of the Index rises, as a result of daily rebalancing, the Index&#8217;s volatility and the effects of compounding. See &#8220;Principal Risks&#8221;, below. </b><br /><br />The Fund will concentrate its investments in a particular industry or group of industries to approximately the same extent as the Index is so concentrated. <br /><br />Please see &#8220;Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks&#8221; in the Fund&#8217;s full Prospectus for additional details. 0.1852 0.1132 <b>You could lose money by investing in the Fund. </b><br /><br />Risks Associated with the Use of Derivatives - The Fund uses investment techniques, such as investing in derivatives, that may be considered aggressive. Investing in derivatives may expose the Fund to greater risks than investing directly in the reference asset(s) underlying those derivatives, such as counterparty risk, liquidity risk and increased correlation risk (each as discussed below). When the Fund uses derivatives, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the reference asset(s) and the derivative, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. Moreover, with respect to the use of swap agreements, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund's net assets, the terms of a swap agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund. In that event, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve the desired exposure consistent with the Fund's investment objective. This, in turn, may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective, even if the Index reverses all or a portion of its intraday move by the end of the day. Any financing, borrowing and other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the effect of lowering the Fund's return. <br /><br />Leverage Risk - The Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its assets in seeking to achieve its investment objective - a form of leverage - and will lose more money in market environments adverse to its daily objective than a similar fund that does not employ such leverage. The use of such leverage could result in the total loss of an investor's investment. For example, because the Fund includes a multiplier of two times (2x) the Index, a single day movement in the Index approaching 50% at any point in the day could result in the total loss of a shareholder's investment if that movement is contrary to the investment objective of the Fund, even if the Index subsequently moves in an opposite direction, eliminating all or a portion of the earlier movement. This would be the case with any such single day movements in the Index, even if the Index maintains a level greater than zero at all times. <br /><br />Compounding Risk - As a result of compounding and because the Fund has a single day investment objective, the Fund's performance for periods greater than a single day is likely to be either greater than or less than the Index performance times the stated multiple in the Fund's investment objective, before accounting for fees and fund expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but has a more significant impact on a leveraged fund. Particularly during periods of higher Index volatility, compounding will cause results for periods longer than a single day to vary from two times (2x) the return of the Index. This effect becomes more pronounced as volatility increases. Fund performance for periods greater than a single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: a) Index volatility; b) Index performance; c) period of time; d) financing rates associated with leveraged exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and f) dividends or interest paid with respect to securities in the Index. The chart below illustrates the impact of two principal factors - Index volatility and Index performance - on Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of Index volatility and Index performance over a one-year period. Performance shown in the chart assumes: (a) no dividends paid with respect to securities included in the Index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain leveraged exposure) of zero percent. If Fund expenses and/or actual borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the Fund's performance would be different than shown. <br /><br />Areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than two times (2x) the performance of the Index. <b>For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money when the level of the Index is flat and can even lose money when the level of the Index rises. </b><br /><br /><img alt="chart" src="g4244902xefr.jpg"></img><br/>The foregoing table is intended to isolate the effect of Index volatility and Index performance on the return of the Fund. For example, the Fund may incorrectly be expected to achieve a -40% return on a yearly basis if the Index return were -20%, absent the effects of compounding. However, as the table shows, with Index volatility of 50%, the Fund could be expected to return -50.2% under such a scenario. The Fund's actual returns may be significantly greater or less than the returns shown above as a result of any of the factors discussed above or in "Principal Risks - Correlation Risk" below. <br /><br />The Index's annualized historical volatility rate for the five-year period ended September 30, 2012 was 23.80%. The Index's highest September to September volatility rate during the five-year period was 38.10% (September 30, 2009). The Index's annualized performance for the five-year period ended September 30, 2012 was 2.16%. <br /><br />Historical Index volatility and performance are not indications of what the Index volatility and performance will be in the future.<br /><br /><b>For additional graphs and charts demonstrating the effects of Index volatility and Index performance on the long-term performance of the Fund, see "Principal Risks Specific to ProFunds - Compounding Risk" in the Fund's full Prospectus and "Special Note Regarding the Correlation Risks of Geared Funds" in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information. </b><br /><br />Active Investor Risk - The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. A significant portion of assets invested in the Fund come from professional money managers and investors who use the Fund as part of active trading or tactical asset allocation strategies. These strategies often call for frequent trading to take advantage of anticipated changes in market conditions, which could increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund. In addition, large movements of assets into and out of the Fund may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. <br /><br />Correlation Risk - A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. <br /><br />In order to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index, the Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio daily to keep exposure consistent with its investment objective. Being materially over-or under-exposed to the Index may prevent the Fund from achieving a high degree of correlation with the Index. Market disruptions or closure, regulatory restrictions or extreme market volatility will adversely affect the Fund's ability to adjust exposure to requisite levels. The target amount of portfolio exposure is impacted dynamically by the Index's movements. Because of this, it is unlikely that the Fund will have perfect exposure (i.e., 2x) to the Index at the end of each day and the likelihood of being materially over- or under-exposed is higher on days when the Index level is volatile near the close of the trading day. <br /><br />A number of other factors may also adversely affect the Fund's correlation with the Index, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, income items, valuation methodology, accounting standards and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests. The Fund may not have investment exposure to all securities in the Index, or its weighting of investment exposure to such securities may be different from that of the Index. In addition, the Fund may invest in securities or financial instruments not included in the Index. The Fund may also be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or under-exposed to the Index. Activities surrounding Index reconstitutions or other Index rebalancing events may hinder the Fund's ability to meet its daily investment objective on or around that day. <br /><br />Counterparty Risk - The Fund will be subject to credit risk (i.e., the risk that a counterparty is unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its contractual obligations) with respect to the amount it expects to receive from counterparties to derivatives and repurchase agreements entered into by the Fund. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or fails to perform its obligations, the value of your investment in the Fund may decline. <br /><br />Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk - An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities, or the ability to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may result in the Fund being unable to buy or sell certain securities or derivatives. In such circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments, and/or may incur substantial trading losses. <br /><br />Equity and Market Risk - The equity markets are volatile, and the value of securities, swaps, futures, options contracts and other instruments correlated with the equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day-to-day. Equity markets are subject to political, regulatory, market and economic developments, as well as developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. Volatility in the markets and/or market developments may cause the value of an investment in the Fund to decrease. <br /><br />Liquidity Risk - In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests, the Fund might not be able to acquire or dispose of certain holdings quickly or at prices that represent true market value in the judgment of ProFund Advisors. Markets for the securities in which the Fund invests may be disrupted by a number of events, including but not limited to economic crises, natural disasters, new legislation, or regulatory changes inside or outside of the U.S. For example, regulation limiting the ability of certain financial institutions to invest in certain securities would likely reduce the liquidity of those securities. Such situations may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving a high correlation with the Index. <br /><br />Non-Diversification Risk - The Fund is classified as "non-diversified" under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers susceptible to a single economic, political or regulatory event, or in financial instruments with a single counterparty if ProFund Advisors determines that doing so is the most efficient means of meeting the Fund's investment objective. This makes the performance of the Fund more susceptible to adverse impact to an issuer or counterparty than a diversified fund might be. This risk may be particularly acute when the Index is comprised of a small number of securities. <br /><br />Portfolio Turnover Risk - Daily rebalancing of Fund holdings, which is required to keep leverage consistent with a single day investment objective, will cause a higher level of portfolio transactions than compared to most funds. Additionally, active trading of the Fund's shares may cause more frequent purchase and sales activities that could, in certain circumstances, increase the number of portfolio transactions. High levels of transactions increase brokerage costs and may result in increased taxable capital gains. <br /><br />Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's full Prospectus for additional details. 0.0644 -0.678 Best Quarter (ended 9/30/2009): <b>32.09%; </b><br /><br />Worst Quarter (ended 12/31/2008): <b>-41.16%. </b><br /><br />The year-to-date return as of the most recent quarter, which ended September 30, 2012, was <b>22.42%.</b> Average annual total returns are shown on a before- and after-tax basis for Investor Class shares only.

The Fund invests in securities and derivatives that ProFund Advisors believes, in combination, should have similar return characteristics as the return of the Index. The Index is a measure of large-cap U.S. stock market performance. It is a float-adjusted, market capitalization-weighted index of 500 U.S. operating companies and real estate investment trusts selected through a process that factors in criteria such as liquidity, price, market capitalization and financial viability. As of September 30, 2012, the Index included companies with capitalizations between $1.4 billion and $625.3 billion. The average capitalization of the companies comprising the Index was approximately $27.3 billion. The Index is published under the Bloomberg ticker symbol &#8220;SPX.&#8221; <br/><br/> The types of securities and derivatives that the Fund will principally invest in are set forth below.

The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in securities and/or financial instruments that, in combination, provide exposure to the Index without regard to market conditions, trends or direction.<br/><br/> The Fund will concentrate its investments in a particular industry or group of industries to approximately the same extent as the Index is so concentrated. <br/><br/> Please see &#8220;Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks&#8221; in the Fund&#8217;s full Prospectus for additional details.

The return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result of each day&#8217;s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ from two times (2x) the return of the BNY Mellon Emerging Markets 50 ADR<sup style="POSITION: relative; BOTTOM: 0.8ex; VERTICAL-ALIGN: baseline">&#174;</sup> Index (the &#8220;Index&#8221;) for that period. <b>For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money when the level of the Index is flat over time, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money over time even if the level of the Index rises. </b>Longer holding periods, higher index volatility and greater leverage each exacerbate the impact of compounding on a fund&#8217;s returns. During periods of higher Index volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the Fund&#8217;s return as much as or more than the return of the Index.<br /><br /><b>The Fund is different from most funds in that it seeks leveraged returns relative to the Index and only on a daily basis. The Fund also is riskier than similarly benchmarked funds that do not use leverage. Accordingly, the Fund may not be suitable for all investors and should be used only by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking daily leveraged investment results. Shareholders should actively manage and monitor their investments, as frequently as daily. </b> Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor&#8217;s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold the Fund&#8217;s shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as a retirement account. <b>You could lose money by investing in the Fund. </b><br/><br/> Risks Associated with the Use of Derivatives - The Fund uses investment techniques, such as investing in derivatives, that may be considered aggressive. Investing in derivatives may expose the Fund to greater risks than investing directly in the reference asset(s) underlying those derivatives, such as counterparty risk, liquidity risk and increased correlation risk (each as discussed below). When the Fund uses derivatives, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the reference asset(s) and the derivative, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. Moreover, with respect to the use of swap agreements, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund&#8217;s net assets, the terms of a swap agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund. In that event, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve the desired exposure consistent with the Fund&#8217;s investment objective. This, in turn, may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective, even if the Index reverses all or a portion of its intraday move by the end of the day. Any financing, borrowing and other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the effect of lowering the Fund&#8217;s return. <br/><br/> Active Investor Risk - The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. A significant portion of assets invested in the Fund come from professional money managers and investors who use the Fund as part of active trading or tactical asset allocation strategies. These strategies often call for frequent trading to take advantage of anticipated changes in market conditions, which could increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund. In addition, large movements of assets into and out of the Fund may have a negative impact on the Fund&#8217;s ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund&#8217;s expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. <br/><br/> Correlation Risk - A number of factors may affect the Fund&#8217;s ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The factors that may adversely affect the Fund&#8217;s correlation with the Index include fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, income items, valuation methodology, accounting standards and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests. The Fund may not have investment exposure to all securities in the Index, or its weighting of investment exposure to such securities may be different from that of the Index. In addition, the Fund may invest in securities or financial instruments not included in the Index. The Fund may also be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or under-exposed to the Index. Activities surrounding Index reconstitutions or other Index rebalancing events may hinder the Fund&#8217;s ability to meet its investment objective. <br/><br/> Counterparty Risk - The Fund will be subject to credit risk (i.e., the risk that a counterparty is unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its contractual obligations) with respect to the amount it expects to receive from counterparties to derivatives and repurchase agreements entered into by the Fund. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or fails to perform its obligations, the value of your investment in the Fund may decline. <br/><br/> Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk - An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities, or the ability to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may result in the Fund being unable to buy or sell certain securities or derivatives. In such circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses. <br/><br/> Equity and Market Risk - The equity markets are volatile, and the value of securities, swaps, futures, options contracts and other instruments correlated with the equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day-to-day. Equity markets are subject to political, regulatory, market and economic developments, as well as developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. Volatility in the markets and/or market developments may cause the value of an investment in the Fund to decrease. <br/><br/> Liquidity Risk - In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests, the Fund might not be able to acquire or dispose of certain holdings quickly or at prices that represent true market value in the judgment of ProFund Advisors. Markets for the securities in which the Fund invests may be disrupted by a number of events, including but not limited to economic crises, natural disasters, new legislation, or regulatory changes inside or outside of the U.S. For example, regulation limiting the ability of certain financial institutions to invest in certain securities would likely reduce the liquidity of those securities. Such situations may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving a high correlation with the Index. <br/><br/>Non-Diversification Risk - The Fund is classified as &#8220;non-diversified&#8221; under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers susceptible to a single economic, political or regulatory event, or in financial instruments with a single counterparty if ProFund Advisors determines that doing so is the most efficient means of meeting the Fund&#8217;s investment objective. This makes the performance of the Fund more susceptible to adverse impact to an issuer or counterparty than a diversified fund might be. The risk may be particularly acute when the Index is comprised of a small number of securities. <br/><br/> Portfolio Turnover Risk - The Fund&#8217;s strategy typically involves high portfolio turnover to manage the Fund&#8217;s investment exposure. Additionally, active trading of the Fund&#8217;s shares may cause more frequent purchase and sales activities that could, in certain circumstances, increase the number of portfolio transactions. High levels of transactions increase brokerage costs and may result in increased taxable capital gains. <br/><br/> Please see &#8220;Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks&#8221; in the Fund&#8217;s full Prospectus for additional details.

Using this approach, ProFund Advisors determines the type, quantity and mix of investment positions that the Fund should hold to approximate on a daily basis the performance of the inverse (-1x) of the Index.

For example, if the Index has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall. As a result, the Fund&#8217;s inverse exposure will need to be decreased.

Non-Diversification Risk - The Fund is classified as &#8220;non-diversified&#8221; under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers susceptible to a single economic, political or regulatory event, or in financial instruments with a single counterparty if ProFund Advisors determines that doing so is the most efficient means of meeting the Fund&#8217;s investment objective. This makes the performance of the Fund more susceptible to adverse impact to an issuer or counterparty than a diversified fund might be. This risk may be particularly acute when the Index is comprised of a small number of securities.
