The Alternative ETF Company.SM

This Short ProShares ETF seeks a return that is -2x the return of a benchmark (target) for a single day, as measured from one NAV calculation to the next, before fees and expenses. Due to the compounding of daily returns, ProShares’ returns over periods other than one day will likely differ in amount and possibly direction from the target return for the same period. These effects may be more pronounced in funds with larger or inverse multiples and in funds with volatile benchmarks. Investors should monitor their holdings consistent with their strategies, as frequently as daily. EUO is not an investment company regulated under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and is not afforded its protections. Investing in this ETF involves a substantial risk of loss. There is no guarantee any ProShares ETF will achieve its daily objective. EUO uses leverage and may invest in financial instruments such as swap agreements, forward contracts, and futures and options, resulting in greater volatility than investments in traditional securities and which may cause large losses. This ETF is not suitable for all investors.
