The fund invests in financial instruments that ProShare Advisors believes, in combination, should produce daily returns consistent with the daily target.

In order to obtain inverse or “short” exposure, the advisor intends to enter into cash-settled ether futures contracts as the “seller.” The fund is non-diversified.
