ProShares Ultra Dow30 (AMEX:DDM)
Historical Stock Chart
From Jun 2019 to Jun 2024
ProShares today announced that its recently launched
exchange traded funds (ETFs) exceeded 1 million shares in daily
trading volume for each of the last two days--just 13 trading days
after their June 21 launch. The eight ProShares ETFs trade on the
American Stock Exchange(R) (Amex(R)).
Four Short ProShares are the first ETFs designed to provide short
exposure to well-known market indexes, seeking daily investment
results that correspond to the inverse of those indexes, before fees
and expenses. Four Ultra ProShares are the first ETFs designed to
magnify daily index performance. They seek daily investment results
that correspond to twice the performance of their underlying indexes,
before fees and expenses.
"We're very pleased that ProShares are generating such a high
level of interest," said Michael Sapir, CEO of ProShare Advisors,
Inc., part of ProFunds Group. "Clearly, their built-in short and
magnified exposure to well-known indexes is appealing. ETF investors
who want to implement sophisticated strategies--but don't want to have
to set up a margin account--have quickly discovered the benefits of
ProShares."
