At a GlanceThe Short Real Estate ProFund provides inverse exposure to the Dow Jones U.S. Real Estate Index.
ObjectiveSeeks daily investment results before fees and expenses, that correspond to the inverse (opposite) of the daily performance of the U.S. Real Estate 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 should experience losses when benchmark indexes rise.
This ProFund invests in a single industry. Its shares do not represent a complete investment program. As a non-diversified and single industry fund, the value of its shares may fluctuate more than shares invested in a broader range of industries and companies. Further, the Short Real Estate ProFund is also subject to risks faced by companies in the real estate industry, such as adverse changes in national, state or local real estate conditions (such as oversupply of or reduced demand for space and changes in market rental rates).

Dow Jones U.S. Real Estate Index
The Dow Jones U.S. Real Estate Index measures the performance of the real estate industry of the U.S. equity market. Component companies include those that invest directly or indirectly through development, management or ownership of shopping malls, apartment buildings and housing developments; and real estate investment trusts ("REITs") that invest in apartments, office and retail properties. REITs are passive investment vehicles that invest primarily in income-producing real estate or real estate related loans or interests. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
