ProShares Short S&P500 Company profile
It is a float- adjusted, market capitalization-weighted index of 500 U.S. operating companies and real estate investment trusts selected through a process that factors in criteria such as liquidity, price, market capitalization, financial viability and public float. This ETF offers inverse exposure to an index comprised of large cap U.S. equities, making it a potentially attractive option for investors looking to bet against this sector of the U.S. economy. SH should definitely not be found in a long-term, buy-and-hold portfolio, but may be a useful tool for more active investors looking to either hedge existing exposure or bet on a decline in large cap U.S. securities. Investors also have the option of simply selling short a traditional large cap fund, though that strategy will generally involve greater potential losses than utilizing an inverse ETF.Latest shares articles
