Financial Performance
Historical Performance: Historical performance data is dependent on the performance of the MSCI Japan Index and market conditions. Due to its leveraged and inverse nature, past performance is not indicative of future results.
Benchmark Comparison: The ETF's performance aims to be -2x the daily performance of the MSCI Japan Index, before fees and expenses. Deviations can occur due to compounding and other factors.

Market Risk
Best suited for active traders and not for long-term investors or passive index followers.
Summary
ProShares UltraShort MSCI Japan (EWV) offers a leveraged inverse exposure to the MSCI Japan Index and seeks to provide -2x the index's daily performance. It's designed for short-term tactical use by sophisticated investors who believe the Japanese stock market will decline. Due to its leveraged nature, it is highly volatile and carries significant risk and is not suitable for buy-and-hold strategies. The ETF's success depends on correctly predicting short-term market movements in Japan.
