- ProShares UltraShort Semiconductors (SSG) seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to two times the inverse (-2x) of the daily performance of the Dow Jones U.S. Semiconductors Index. The fund invests principally in derivatives, including swap agreements with major global financial institutions such as UBS AG, Citibank NA, Bank of America NA, Barclays Capital, Goldman Sachs International, Morgan Stanley & Co. International PLC, JPMorgan Chase Bank NA, BNP Paribas, and Societe Generale; money market instruments, including U.S. Treasury bills and repurchase agreements. The Dow Jones U.S. Semiconductors Index measures the performance of U.S. companies in the semiconductors subsector, including producers and distributors of semiconductors and other integrated chips, semiconductor capital equipment, and motherboards; the index comprises 34 companies as of September 30, 2025, with a price/earnings ratio of 38.89, price/book ratio of 12.55, dividend yield of 0.45%, and average market capitalization of $237.86 billion. SSG, which trades on NYSE Arca, targets sophisticated investors seeking short-term bearish exposure to the semiconductor industry and is suitable for hedging or speculation rather than long-term holding due to daily leverage reset and compounding effects. The fund maintains a net expense ratio of 0.95% after fee waivers through September 30, 2026, with a gross expense ratio of 1.97%; it distributes income quarterly, if any, and options are available on its shares. ProShares UltraShort Semiconductors is part of ProShares Trust, managed by ProShare Advisors LLC, with portfolio management led by Michael Neches since October 2013 and Tarak Davé since April 2018. Launched on January 30, 2007, with first trading on February 1, 2007, the fund is headquartered at 7272 Wisconsin Avenue, 21st Floor, Bethesda, MD 20814. In recent developments, ProShares Trust announced a 1-for-4 reverse stock split effective November 20, 2025, to adjust share price levels; the fund also declared quarterly distributions, including $0.1224 and $0.3509 per share. No significant acquisitions, partnerships, new product launches, or strategic expansions beyond routine index rebalancing (quarterly in March, June, December, and annually in September) have been reported in the last 1-2 years.
There's never been a semiconductor rally like this one — and that's triggering a number of warnings
