5"Volatility" refers to annualized standard deviation, a statistical measure that captures the variations from the mean of an index's returns and that is often usedto quantify the risk of the index over a specific time period. The higher the volatility, the more an index's returns fluctuate over time. 6Sum of weightings may notequal 100% due to rounding.Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. These ProShares ETFs are non-diversified and entail certain risks, including risk associated withthe use of derivatives (swap agreements, futures contracts and similar instruments), imperfect benchmark correlation, leverage and market price variance, all of whichcan increase volatility and decrease performance. International investments may involve risks from geographic concentration, differences in valuation and valuationtimes, unfavorable fluctuations in currency, differences in generally accepted accounting principles, and economic or political instability. Investments in smallercompanies typically exhibit higher volatility. Smaller company stocks also may trade at greater spreads or lower trading volumes, and may be less liquid than stocks oflarger companies. In emerging markets, many risks are heightened, and lower trading volumes may occur. Please see the summary and full prospectuses for a morecomplete description of risks. There is no guarantee any ProShares ETF will achieve its investment objective.These ETFs are subject to risks faced by the gold and silver mining industries, including risks related to changes in the price of gold and silver. Gold and silver miningcompanies may also be adversely affected by changing inflation expectations, the availability of alternatives, disruptions in the supply chain, rising production costs,rising regulatory compliance costs, increased environmental regulations, and changes in industrial, government and global consumer demand. Gold and silver miningcompanies may dramatically outperform or underperform more traditional equity investments.ProShares may invest in equity securities and/or financial instruments (including derivatives) that, in combination, should have similar daily price return characteristics to the fund's benchmark. Derivative contractsare priced to include the underlying index yield and will not generate dividend income.
