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.

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.

Holdings are subject to change. ProShares may invest in financial instruments (including derivatives) that, in combination, should have daily price return characteristics similar to the fund's benchmark.

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.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal.

Please see their summary and full prospectuses for a more complete description of risks.

Investments in smart factory technology are subject to risks associated with a developing industry and there is no guarantee that these companies will be successful.

Smart factory technology companies may have limited product lines, markets, and resources. Such companies are subject to risks such as rapid changes in technology; intense competition; impairment of intellectual property rights; changing consumer preferences and product obsolescence; evolving industry standards and regulations; security and privacy failures or constraints; dependence on third-party vendors; disruptions of access or systems; ability to deploy or integrate at scale; and the impact of research and development costs. The index theme may not be the primary driver of company, index or fund performance. Companies in the index may have significant unrelated business lines, which could have a significant negative impact on company, index and fund performance.

This fund may be subject to risks associated with the semiconductor and semiconductor equipment industry as well as the capital goods industry. A more complete discussion of risks is found in the prospectus.

This fund is non-diversified and concentrates its investments in certain sectors. Non-diversified and narrowly focused investments typically exhibit higher volatility.

Investments in non-U.S. securities may involve risks different from U.S. securities, including 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 emerging markets generally are less liquid, more volatile and riskier than investments in more developed markets and are considered to be speculative.

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.
