ProShares UltraPro Short QQQ

The fund invests in financial instruments that ProShare Advisors believes, in combination, should produce daily returns consistent with the fund's investment objective. The index includes 100 of the largest domestic and international non-financial companies listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market based on market capitalization. The fund is non-diversified.

The UltraPro Short QQQ ETF is highly risky for retail investors due to its leverage and potential for total loss over time. Fundamental and technical indicators suggest the Nasdaq-100 is overextended, but timing a short position is extremely challenging and risky.
