Fund Description: ProShares Managed Futures Strategy ETF is an actively managed exchange-traded fund or Actively Managed ETF which is a separate investment portfolio of the ProShares Trust, an open-end investment management company. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: The ProShares Managed Futures Strategy ETF seeks to provide positive returns that are not directly correlated to broad equity or fixed income markets. The Fund is an actively managed ETF and thus, does not seek to replicate the performance of a specific index, but rather uses an active investment strategy to meet its investment objective, however, an actively managed ETF may have an index-based benchmark. Accordingly, the ETF’s investment advisor has discretion on a daily basis to actively manage the Fund’s portfolio in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and investment policies. BENCHMARK INDEX DESCRIPTION: The S&P Strategic Futures Index seeks to capture the economic benefit from trends (in either direction) in the commodity, foreign currency and fixed income markets by taking long or short positions in related futures contracts. While the Fund generally will seek exposure to the commodity and financial markets included in the Benchmark, the Fund is not an index tracking ETF and will seek to enhance its performance by actively selecting investments with varying maturities from the underlying components of the Benchmark. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s performance will be positive or that its performance will exceed the performance of the Benchmark at any time. FUND STRATEGY: Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests in a portfolio of commodity futures contracts and currency and U.S. Treasury futures contracts (collectively, Futures Contracts). The Fund attempts to capture the economic benefit derived from rising and declining trends based on the price changes of these Futures Contracts. Each month, each Futures Contract will generally be positioned long if it is experiencing a positive price trend or short if it is experiencing a negative price trend. The Fund will also hold cash or cash equivalents such as U.S. Treasury securities or other high credit quality, short-term fixed-income or similar securities (such as shares of money market funds and collateralized repurchase agreements) for direct investment or as collateral for Futures Contracts. The Fund may also invest up to 100% of its assets in any of these types of cash or cash equivalent instruments. The Fund will not invest directly in Commodity Futures Contracts. The Fund expects to gain exposure to these investments by investing a portion of its assets in the ProShares Cayman Portfolio I, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the Subsidiary). Unlike the Fund, the Subsidiary is not a registered investment company. The Fund’s investment in the Subsidiary is intended to provide the Fund with exposure to commodity markets within the limits of current federal income tax laws applicable to investment companies such as the Fund, which limit the ability of investment companies to invest directly in Commodity Futures Contracts. The Subsidiary has the same investment objective as the Fund. The Fund will invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary. The Futures Contracts included in the Benchmark: Light Crude; Heating Oil; RBOB Gas; Natural Gas; Copper; Gold; Silver; Lean Hogs; Live Cattle; Corn; Soybeans; Wheat; Coffee; Cocoa; Sugar; Cotton; Australian Dollar; British Pound; Canadian Dollar; Euro; Japanese Yen; Swiss Franc; U.S. Treasury Notes; and U.S. Treasury Bonds. FUND MANAGEMENT: ProShare Advisors serves as the investment adviser to the Fund and to the Subsidiary.
