Index information does not reflect any management fees, transaction costs or expenses. Indexes are unmanaged, and one cannot invest directly in an index.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. These ProShares ETFs are non-diversified and entail certain risks, including risks associated with the use of derivatives (swap agreements, futures contracts and similar instruments), imperfect benchmark correlation, and market price variance, all of which can increase volatility and decrease performance. Please see summary and full prospectuses for a more complete description of risks.

There is no guarantee any ProShares ETF will achieve its investment objective. The performance of the Funds may not correspond to the performance of their respective indexes, and the Funds may not be successful in generating income for investors.

The Nasdaq-100® Daily Covered Call Index replicates the performance of a covered call investment strategy that combines a long position in the Nasdaq-100 Index with a short position in Nasdaq-100 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 Nasdaq-100 Index covered call strategy (net of expenses).

There can be no guarantee that the Funds will make 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.
