ProShares Trust II — Investor Relations & Filings

ProShares Trust II is a statutory trust that serves as the issuer for a series of exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The trust is structured as a commodity pool, and its funds are not regulated as investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Its offerings primarily provide exposure to volatility, commodity, and currency markets. A key characteristic of these products is the use of geared (leveraged and inverse) strategies, which seek daily investment results that correspond to a multiple (e.g., 2x or -2x) of an underlying benchmark's daily performance. The funds achieve their objectives through derivative instruments, such as futures contracts and swap agreements, rather than by holding the underlying assets directly.
