Investment Summary

📎 Investment Objective

The ProShares UltraShort Financials ETF (SKF) seeks to provide daily investment results that correspond to twice the inverse (-2x) of the daily performance of the Dow Jones U.S. Financials Index.

🎯 Investment Strategy

The fund uses a combination of financial instruments, such as futures contracts and swap agreements, to achieve its investment objective. It aims to provide leveraged exposure to the financial sector, allowing investors to potentially profit from declines in the underlying index.

✨ Key Features

  • Provides -2x daily leveraged exposure to the Dow Jones U.S. Financials Index
  • Designed for short-term trading and not suitable for long-term buy-and-hold investors
  • Utilizes derivatives to achieve its leveraged investment objective
  • Has low assets under management and may have limited liquidity

⚠️ Primary Risks

  • Leveraged and inverse ETFs can experience significant losses over time, especially in volatile markets
  • Derivative instruments used by the fund may not always be effective in achieving the desired exposure
  • Tracking error and compounding effects can cause the fund's returns to deviate from the target index performance
  • Low trading volume and lack of liquidity may impact the fund's ability to execute trades at desired prices

👤 Best For

This ETF is best suited for experienced, short-term traders and speculators who have a bearish outlook on the financial sector and are comfortable with the risks associated with leveraged and inverse funds. It is not recommended for long-term, buy-and-hold investors due to the potential for significant losses over time.
