There is no guarantee any ProShares ETF will achieve its investment objective. The performance of the Fund may not correspond to the performance of the S&P 500 Index and the Fund may not be successful in generating income for investors.
The S&P 500 Daily Covered Call Index replicates the performance of a covered call investment strategy that combines a long position in the S&P 500 Index with a short position in S&P 500 Index call options. In particular, the index is designed to replicate a daily covered call strategy that sells call options with one day to expiration each day. The Fund intends to make distributions each month of an amount that reflects the dividends and call premium income earned by a daily S&P 500 Index covered call strategy (net of expenses). There can be no guarantee that the Fund will make such distributions and the amount of such distributions, if any, may vary significantly from month to month. A significant portion of such distributions may be characterized as a return of capital.
Shares of any ETF are generally bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the fund. There is no guarantee that capital gain distributions will not be made in the future. There is no guarantee that dividends or interest income will be paid. Your brokerage commissions will reduce returns.
