The ProShares Short Financials ETF (SEF) seeks to provide investment results that correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the daily performance of the Dow Jones U.S. Financials Index.

- Inverse performance risk: The fund's returns will be the opposite of the underlying index, which may not always align with investor expectations
- Derivative risk: The use of derivatives can amplify gains and losses, increasing volatility
