The performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the fund. Market price returns are based upon the midpoint of the bid/ask spread at 4:00 p.m. ET (when NAV is normally determined for most funds) and do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. Your brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. For standardized returns and performance data current to the most recent month end, see above.

About the Index

The index, published by LPX GmbH ("LPX"), consists of up to 30 qualifying listed private equity companies. A listed private equity company is an eligible candidate for the index if its direct private equity investments, as well as cash and cash equivalent positions and post-Initial Public Offering listed investments, represent more than 80% of the total assets of the company. LPX considers direct private equity investments to be direct investments noted on the balance sheet of the listed private equity company in the equity, mezzanine or debt facility of an underlying private company or investments in limited partnerships managed by the management portion of the listed private equity company. Candidates for the index will have a majority of its assets invested in or exposed to private companies or have a stated intention to have a majority of its assets invested in or exposed to private companies.

The index applies a liquidity screen to qualifying companies and then includes up to 30 of the remaining companies based, among other things, on greater relative trading volume (i.e., trading volume relative to the market capitalization of the company)—the index historically has included securities of all market capitalizations, from micro to large cap. The index is reconstituted quarterly on the 15th of January, April, July and October.

For the total return table above, since inception returns are cumulative for funds less than one year old; otherwise, returns are annualized. Market returns are based on the composite closing price and do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. The listing date is typically one or more days after the fund inception date. Therefore, NAV is used to calculate market returns prior to the listing date.

The expense ratio for certain funds includes a contractual fee waiver that results in a lower net expense ratio for some or all periods shown. For information about this ETF’s fees, please see above.

 May include significant acquired fund fees and expenses incurred indirectly through the fund's ownership of shares in other investment companies, such as business development companies. These fees are not direct costs paid by shareholders or used to calculate net asset value. See the prospectus for more information.

Holdings are subject to change.

Registered Investment Companies are required by the IRS to distribute substantially all of their income and capital gains to shareholders at least annually. For specific tax advice, we recommend you speak with a qualified tax professional.

The performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

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

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.

There is no guarantee any ProShares ETF will achieve its investment objective.

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.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. This ProShares ETF is subject to certain risks, including the risk that the fund may not track the performance of the index and that the fund’s market price may fluctuate, which may decrease performance. Please see their summary and full prospectuses for a more complete description of risks.

International investments may involve risks from: geographic concentration, differences in valuation and valuation times, unfavorable fluctuations in currency, differences in generally accepted accounting principles, and from economic or political instability.

Investments in smaller companies typically exhibit higher volatility. Small- and mid-cap companies may have limited product lines or resources, may be dependent upon a particular market niche and may have greater fluctuations in price than the stocks of larger companies. Small- and mid-cap companies may lack the financial and personnel resources to handle economic or industry-wide setbacks and, as a result, such setbacks could have a greater effect on small- and mid-cap security prices.

Carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of ProShares before investing. This and other information can be found in their summary and full prospectuses. Read them carefully before investing.

There are risks in investing in listed private equity companies (LPEs), which encompass business development companies (BDCs) and other financial institutions or vehicles whose principal business is to invest in and provide financing to privately held companies. Little public information may exist for private or thinly traded companies, and investors may not be able to make fully informed investment decisions. Private equity securities carry risks related to unclear ownership, market access and market opaqueness. BDCs are subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940 but are exempt from many of its regulatory constraints. The fund is subject to risks faced by BDCs to the same extent as its index is so concentrated. A significant portion of the index is composed of BDCs or other investment companies. The fund may not acquire greater than 3% of the total outstanding shares of such companies. As a result, the fund’s ability to purchase certain securities in the proportions represented in the index could be inhibited. The fund may be required to use sampling techniques in these circumstances, which could increase correlation risk. For more on the fund, LPEs, BDCs, correlation and other risks, please read the prospectus.
