CODE OF ETHICS

September 16, 2015

The following Combined Code of Ethics (the “Code”) is adopted by ProFunds, ProShares Trust and Access One Trust (each a “Trust” and jointly the “Trusts”), ProFund Advisors LLC and ProShare Advisors LLC (each an “Advisor” and jointly the “Advisors”) and ProFunds Distributors, Inc. (“PDI”) pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and Rule 204A-1 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”) (unless specifically identified, Rule 17j-1 and Rule 204A-1 are collectively referred to as the “Rules”). The Advisors are investment advisors to registered investment companies and other persons or entities (“Clients”).

This Code is designed to ensure that all acts, practices and courses of business engaged in by personnel of the Trusts, the Advisors and PDI reflect high standards of conduct and comply with the requirements of the federal securities laws. Please see the Chief Compliance Officer should you have any questions about this Code.

I. �� Definitions

A. “Access Person” means:

any Investment Personnel; or

any director/trustee, officer, active general partner or managing member of the Trusts, the Advisors or PDI; or

any employee of the Trusts, the Advisors or PDI (or of any company in a control relationship to the Trusts, the Advisors or PDI) who, in connection with his or her regular functions or duties, makes, participates in, obtains or has access to information regarding the purchase or sale of Covered Securities (as defined in this Code) by the Trusts whose functions relate to or provide access to the making of any recommendations with respect to such purchases or sales; or

any natural person in a control relationship to the Trusts, the Advisors or PDI who obtains information concerning recommendations made to the Trusts or Clients with regard to the purchase or sale of Covered Securities by the Trusts or Client; or

any Supervised Person with access to non-public information regarding any Clients’ purchase or sale of securities, or non-public information regarding the portfolio holdings of any fund the Advisors or their control affiliates manage.

B. “Beneficial Ownership” shall be interpreted in the same manner as it would be under Rule 16a-1(a)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) in determining whether a person is subject to the provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations there under.

C. “Control” shall have the same meaning as that set forth in Section 2(a) (9) of the 1940 Act. Section 2(a)(9) provides that “control” generally means the power to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of a company, unless such power is solely the result of an official position with such company.

D. “Covered Officers” means any person serving as a named officer of any of the Trusts.

E. “Covered Security” shall include any “security” as set forth in Section 2(a) (36) of the 1940 Act, subject to any modifications set forth in this Section I.E. For avoidance of doubt, “Covered Security” shall include futures contracts on securities indices, options on such futures contracts, shares of exchange-traded funds and corporate bonds or debentures. The term “Covered Security” shall not include (i) direct obligations of the Government of the United States; (ii) bankers’ acceptances, bank certificates of deposit, commercial paper and high quality short-term debt instruments, including repurchase agreements; (iii) shares of registered open-end investment companies other than exchange-traded funds, investment companies advised or sub-advised by any of the Advisors, or investment companies whose investment advisor or principal underwriter is in a control relationship to any of the Advisors; and (iv) such other securities as may be excepted under the provisions of the Rules.

F. “Family/Household” shall include (1) the Supervised Person’s spouse or domestic partner (unless they do not live in the same household as the person and the person does not contribute in any way to their support); (2) the Supervised Person’s children under the age of 18; (3) the Supervised Person’s children who are 18 or older (unless they do not live in the same household as the person and the person does not contribute in any way to their support); (4) any of the following people who live in the person’s household: stepchildren, grandchildren, parents, stepparents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, parents-in-law, sons-in-law, daughters-in-law, brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, including adoptive relationships, foster children and such custodial relationships.

G. An “Initial Public Offering” means an offering of securities registered under the Securities Act of 1933, the issuer of which, immediately before the registration, was not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

H. “Investment Personnel” means: (1) any employees, officers and directors of the Trusts, the Advisors, and the Trusts’

principal underwriters (or of any company in a control relationship to the Trusts, the Advisors or the Trusts’ principal underwriters) who, in connection with their regular functions or duties, make or participate in making recommendations regarding the purchase or sale of securities by the Trusts; and (2) any natural person who controls the Trusts, the Advisors or PDI and who obtains information concerning recommendations made to the Trusts regarding the purchase or sale of securities by the Trusts.

I. A “Limited Offering” means an offering that is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Section 4(2) or Section 4(6) or pursuant to Rule 504, Rule 505, or Rule 506 under the Securities Act of 1933.

J. “Purchase or sale of a security” for purposes of this Code and each Exhibit or other Appendix hereto includes, among other things, the writing of an option to purchase or sell a security.

K. A “Security held or to be acquired” means: (1) any Covered Security which, within the most recent 15 days: (a) is or has been held by the Trust or a Client under the direction of the Advisors; or (b) is being considered by the Trusts, the Advisors or PDI for purchase or sale; and (2) any option to purchase or sell, and any security convertible into or exchangeable for a Covered Security described in clause (E) above.

L. “Service Providers” means Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc., Foreside Financial Group, LLC, J.P. Morgan Investor Services Co., SEI Investments Distribution Co., SEI Investments Company.

M. “Supervised Person” means: (1) any officer, director (or other person occupying a similar status or performing similar functions), or employee of the Advisors; (2) any other person who provides investment advice on behalf of the Advisors and is subject to the supervision and control of the Advisors; or (3) any person affiliated with PDI as a Registered Representative (a “PDI Registered Representative”).

II. Legal Requirement

The federal securities laws make it unlawful for any affiliated person of the Trusts, the Advisors or PDI in connection with the purchase or sale, directly or indirectly, by such person of a Covered Security held or to be acquired by the Trusts or Clients:

To employ any device, scheme or artifice to defraud the Trusts or Clients;

To make to the Trusts or Clients any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state to the Trusts or Clients a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading;

To engage in any act, practice, or course of business that operates or would operate as a fraud or deceit upon the Trusts or Clients; or

To engage in any manipulative practice with respect to the Trusts or Clients.

In order to assure compliance with these restrictions, each of the Trusts, the Advisors and PDI adopts and agrees to be governed by the provisions contained in this Code.

III. General Principles and Standards of Business Conduct

As an investment advisor, the Advisors owe a fiduciary duty to Clients. In relation to its clients, a fiduciary is required to act in good faith, make full and fair disclosure of material facts relating to conflicts of interests, and employ care to avoid making misleading statements.

The following standards of business conduct shall govern personal investment activities and the interpretation and administration of this Code:

A. The interests of Trust shareholders and Clients must be placed first at all times;

B. All personal securities transactions must be conducted consistently with this Code and in such a manner as to avoid any actual or potential conflict of interest or any abuse of an individual’s position of trust and responsibility;

C. All persons who acknowledge receipt of this Code should not create or trade on the basis of rumors that could materially affect the price of any security.

D. All persons who acknowledge receipt of this Code should not take inappropriate advantage of their positions; and

E. All persons who acknowledge receipt of this Code must comply with applicable federal securities laws.

This Code does not attempt to identify all possible conflicts of interest, and literal compliance with each of its specific provisions will not shield an individual from liability for personal trading or other conduct that violates a fiduciary duty to the Trusts’ shareholders or advisory Clients.

IV. Substantive Restrictions

A. Restricted lists. From time to time, the Chief Compliance Officer may publish a list of restricted securities. No Access Person may purchase or sell, or modify any prior order to purchase or sell, or place a limit order for the purchase or sale of any security on the restricted list.

B. Short-Term Trading Restriction. Access Persons are prohibited from engaging in a purchase and sale, or a sale and purchase, of the same Covered Securities (or any closely related security such as an option or a related convertible or exchangeable security or another security from the same issuer) within two (2) business days. Access Persons may purchase or sell an option on a Covered Security position to hedge existing holdings within the two day period. If exercised, the purchase date of the underlying option is considered to be the purchase

date of the security. Access Persons who are independent members of the Board of Trustees but who are not interested persons of the Trusts or the Advisors as defined in the 1940 Act, or employees whose accounts are exempt under Section IV.F, are not subject to the Short-Term Trading Restriction as long as they do not have knowledge of trading activities conducted by the Advisors.

C. Use of Material Non-Public Information. All Supervised Persons are required to comply with the Insider Trading Policy when trading securities for their personal accounts. If any Supervised Person knows material non-public information regarding an entity, its securities, or the market for such entity’s securities, such Supervised Person generally may not:

· trade in that entity’s securities, including options, puts, calls or other derivative securities,

· direct others to trade on his or her behalf,

· disclose the information to another individual.

In addition, any transactions found to be in violation of the Insider Trading Policy (or the Code of Ethics, if applicable) will be canceled and appropriate punitive action will be taken. No Supervised Person may buy or sell fund shares while in possession of material, non-public information, including information concerning upcoming dividend payments or capital gains distributions. Note that out of an abundance of caution, the Advisors have adopted a blackout period for Access Persons with respect to sales of our funds, for two business days prior to the published dividend ex-date of any Fund. The dividend ex-date for all Funds may be found on the Funds’ web site and Access Persons have the responsibility to monitor their trading activity to avoid selling shares during the blackout period.

D. Initial Public Offerings and Limited Offerings.

No Access Person may acquire any direct or indirect Beneficial Ownership in any securities in an Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) or in a Limited Offering unless the Chief Compliance Officer has authorized the transaction in advance.

Any Access Person who has been authorized to acquire securities in an IPO or in a Limited Offering must disclose his or her interest if he or she is involved in the Trusts’, Advisors’ or PDI’s consideration of an investment in such issuer. Any decision to acquire such issuer’s securities on behalf of the Trusts or Clients shall be subject to review by Access Persons with no personal interest in the issuer.

E. Service on Boards. Investment Personnel shall not serve on the boards of directors of publicly traded companies, or in any similar capacity, absent the prior approval of such service by the Chief Compliance Officer following the receipt of a written request for such approval. In the event such a request is approved, procedures shall be developed to avoid potential conflicts of interest.

F. Exemptions. The restrictions of Section IV shall not apply to the following transactions unless the Chief Compliance Officer determines that such transactions violate other provisions of the federal securities laws:

Reinvestments of dividends pursuant to a plan;

Transactions in instruments that are excepted from the definition of Covered Security in this Code of Ethics;

Transactions in which direct or indirect Beneficial Ownership is not acquired or disposed of;

Transactions in accounts as to which an Access Person has no investment control;

Transactions in accounts held at transfer agents or employee stock purchase accounts from previous employers or spousal employee stock purchase plans;

Transactions in accounts of an Access Person for which investment discretion is not maintained by an Access Person but is granted to any of the following that are unaffiliated with the Trusts, the Advisors or PDI: a registered broker-dealer, registered investment adviser or other investment manager acting in a fiduciary capacity, provided the following conditions are satisfied:

(1) The terms of the account agreement (the “Agreement”) must be in writing and furnished to the Chief Compliance Officer prior to any transactions;

(2) Any amendment to the Agreement must be furnished to the Chief Compliance Officer prior to its effective date;

(3) The exemption shall not be available for a transaction or class of transactions which is suggested or directed by an Access Person or as to which an Access Person acquires material non-public (“insider”) information.
