Whoa Nelly.
In the largest single exchange-traded fund (ETF) filing ever, ProShares has petitioned the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the right to launch sixty-six - yes, 66 - leveraged, short and short-leveraged ETFs. The new funds track 22 indexes in three broad buckets - stand alone indexes, style indexes and sector indexes.
As with the 12 existing ProShares ETFs, which track the S&P 500, S&P MidCap 400, Dow Jones Industrial Average and Nasdaq-100 - there will three ProShares tied to each index: one providing 2X long leveraged exposure, one providing short exposure and one providing 2X short-leveraged exposure.
With the new filings, it is clear that ProShares aims to offer a complete line-up of funds to investors.
The filings cover the following indexes: Stand Alone Indexes Russell 2000 S&P SmallCap 600
Style Indexes S&P/Citigroup 500 Growth S&P/Citigroup 500 Value S&P MidCap 400/Citigroup Growth S&P MidCap 400/Citigroup Value S&P SmallCap 600/Citigroup Growth S&P SmallCap 600/Citigroup Value
