Products and Services

• Daily Targeted Return Investments

This product aims to provide returns that correspond to the daily performance target of the fund. By investing in various financial instruments, ProShare Advisors strive to achieve daily outcomes that align with the fund’s objectives, offering investors a precise and focused investment strategy that targets mid-size U.S. company performance.

• Mid-size Company Market Exposure

The fund grants investors exposure to the mid-cap segment of the U.S. stock market, which is defined by companies that fall into the middle tier of market capitalization. This segment often offers a unique combination of growth potential and stability relative to smaller or larger companies, making it an attractive option for certain investment strategies. The fund's focus on this market segment provides a pathway for investors to potentially benefit from mid-size company dynamics.

• Non-diversified Fund Strategy

As a non-diversified fund, this investment option does not spread its holdings across a wide range of securities. Instead, it may concentrate its investments in a smaller number of assets. This approach can lead to higher volatility and risk, as the fund's performance is more closely tied to the specific instruments it holds. However, it can also offer greater potential reward if the selected investments perform well, appealing to investors who are willing to accept a higher level of risk for the possibility of increased returns.
