New Accounting Pronouncements

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the decrease in the Fund’s NAV resulted in part from the cumulative effect of the Fund seeking daily investment results (before fees and expenses) that correspond to 2x of the inverse of the daily performance of gold bullion as measured by the U.S. dollar p.m. LBMA Gold Price.

By comparison, during the three months ended September 30, 2016, the increase in the Fund’s NAV resulted from an increase from 796,978 outstanding Shares at June 30, 2016 to 1,096,978 outstanding Shares at September 30, 2016.

The decrease in the Fund’s NAV also resulted in part from the cumulative effect of the Fund seeking daily investment results (before fees and expenses) that correspond to 2x of the daily performance of the Bloomberg WTI Crude Oil SubindexSM. By comparison, during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the increase in the Fund’s NAV resulted from an increase from 31,163,934 outstanding Shares at December 31, 2015 to 46,613,933 outstanding Shares at September 30, 2016. The increase in the Fund’s NAV was offset by the cumulative effect of the Fund seeking daily investment results (before fees and expenses) that correspond to 2x of the daily performance of the Bloomberg WTI Crude Oil SubindexSM.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Fund’s daily performance had a statistical correlation over 0.99 to 2x of the daily performance of its benchmark. The Fund’s per Share NAV decrease of 23.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the Fund’s per Share NAV decrease of 16.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, was primarily due to a greater depreciation in the value of the assets of the Fund during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Fund’s per Share NAV reached its high for the period on January 6, 2017 at $23.49 per Share and reached its low for the period on June 21, 2017 at $12.64 per Share.

Benchmark annualized volatility | 8.7 | % | 13.0 | % | ||||
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the increase in the Fund’s NAV resulted from the cumulative effect of the Fund seeking daily investment results (before fees and expenses) that correspond to 2x of the daily performance of the spot price of the Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar. There was no net change in the Fund’s outstanding Shares from December 31, 2016 to September 30, 2017. By comparison, during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the increase in the Fund’s NAV resulted from the cumulative effect of the Fund seeking daily investment results (before fees and expenses) that correspond to 2x of the daily performance of the spot price of the Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar. The increase in the Fund’s NAV was offset by a decrease from 99,974 outstanding Shares at December 31, 2015 to 99,970 outstanding Shares at September 30, 2016.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Fund’s daily performance had a statistical correlation over 0.99 to 2x of the daily performance of its benchmark. The Fund’s per Share NAV increase of 4.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the Fund’s per Share NAV increase of 36.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, was primarily due to a lesser appreciation in the value of the assets held by the Fund during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Fund’s per Share NAV reached its high for the period on April 18, 2017 at $63.59 per Share and reached its low for the period on January 3, 2017 at $54.62 per Share. By comparison, during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Fund’s per Share NAV reached its high for the period on August 18, 2016 at $77.06 per Share and reached its low for the period on January 29, 2016 at $53.85 per Share.
The benchmark’s rise of 3.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the benchmark’s rise of 18.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, can be attributed to a lesser rise in the value of the Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

The September 30, 2017 and 2016 futures notional values are calculated by multiplying the number of contracts held times the valuation price times the contract multiplier. The notional values will increase (decrease) proportionally with increases (decreases) in the price of the futures contract. Additional gains (losses) associated with these contracts will be equal to any such subsequent increases (decreases) in notional values, before accounting for spreads or transaction or financing costs. The Fund will generally attempt to adjust its positions in Financial Instrumentseach dayto match the performance of the Index. While the above information properly represents the then current equity price risk and is adequate for estimating the following day’s gains or losses, estimates of future values over longer periods should take the Fund’s daily rebalancing efforts into account. Future period returns, before fees and expenses, cannot be estimated simply by estimating the return of the Index. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Form10-K for additional information regarding performance for periods longer than a single day.

ProShares UltraPro 3x Short Crude Oil ETF:
As of September 30, 2017, the ProShares UltraPro 3x Short Crude Oil ETF was exposed to inverse commodity price risk through its holding of Crude Oil futures contracts and its holding of swap agreements linked to the Bloomberg WTI Crude Oil SubindexSM. The following table provides information about the Fund’s positions in these Financial Instruments as of September 30, 2017, which were sensitive to commodity price risk.

The September 30, 2017 futures notional amount is calculated by multiplying the number of contracts held times the valuation price times the contract multiplier. The notional amount will increase (decrease) proportionally with increases (decreases) in the price of the futures contract, as applicable. Additional losses (gains) associated with these contracts will be equal to any such subsequent increases (decreases) in notional amount, before accounting for spreads or transaction or financing costs. The Fund will generally attempt to adjust its positions in Financial Instruments each day to have $3.00 of exposure to the Index for every $1.00 of net assets. While the above information properly represents the then current commodity price risk and is adequate for estimating the following day’s gains or losses, estimates of future values over longer periods should take the Fund’s daily rebalancing efforts into account. Future period returns, before fees and expenses, cannot be estimated simply by estimating the return of the Index and multiplying by two. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Form10-K for additional information regarding performance for periods longer than one day.

The September 30, 2017 futures notional amount is calculated by multiplying the number of contracts held times the valuation price times the contract multiplier. The notional amount will increase (decrease) proportionally with increases (decreases) in the price of the futures contract, as applicable. Additional (gains) losses associated with these contracts will be equal to any such subsequent increases (decreases) in notional amount, before accounting for spreads or transaction or financing costs. The Fund will generally attempt to adjust its positions in Financial Instruments each day to have $3.00 of exposure to the Index for every $1.00 of net assets. While the above information properly represents the then current commodity price risk and is adequate for estimating the following day’s gains or losses, estimates of future values over longer periods should take the Fund’s daily rebalancing efforts into account.Index. Future period returns, before fees and expenses, cannot be estimated simply by estimating the return of the Index and multiplying by two.Index. See “Item 1A.
