Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. This ProShares ETF entails certain risks, including imperfect benchmark correlation and market price variance, that may decrease performance. Bonds will decrease in value as interest rates rise. The fund concentrates its investments in certain sectors. Narrowly focused investments typically exhibit higher volatility. Shares of any ETF are generally bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the fund. Your brokerage commissions will reduce returns.
