At a GlanceThe UltraSmall-Cap ProFund provides leveraged exposure to the Russell 2000® Index.
ObjectiveSeeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to twice (200%) the daily performance of the Russell 2000 Index.
There is no guarantee that any ProFund will achieve its investment objective. Investment return and principal value will vary and shares may be worth more or less at redemption than at original purchase. See the prospectus for more information.
This ProFund routinely employs leveraged investment techniques that magnify gains and losses and result in greater volatility in value.
Small capitalization stocks typically carry additional risk, since smaller companies have higher risk of failure and, historically, their stocks have experienced a greater degree of volatility.
