ProShares Managed Futures Strategy ETF
Diversify Your Portfolio with a Managed Futures ETF
Managed futures strategies have the potential to deliver positive returns in both rising and falling markets, and may offer diversification benefits because of their historically low correlation to stocks and bonds.
These investment strategies identify price trends in the futures markets and take long or short positions across asset classes such as commodities, currencies and fixed income. This flexibility means they can potentially capture value from both upward and downward price movements in these markets.
ProShares Managed Futures Strategy ETF (FUT) delivers a managed futures strategy in an ETF. The fund:
- Uses an innovative risk-weighting methodology to allocate across a broad range of commodity, currency and financial assets, equally weighting each component based on estimated risk
- Does not issue a K-1 form, which means streamlined tax reporting for investors
