ProShares UltraShort TIPS (TPS) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks daily investment results corresponding to two times the inverse (-2x) of the daily performance of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) Index (Series-L); the fund invests in derivatives, including swap agreements and futures contracts, as well as money market instruments, to achieve its leveraged inverse exposure to U.S. TIPS with at least one year remaining to maturity rated investment grade (Baa3 by Moody's or BBB- by S&P). TPS provides sophisticated investors and traders with a tool for short-term strategies to hedge against or speculate on declines in TIPS prices amid expectations of lower inflation or deflationary pressures. The fund operates within the fixed income segment focused on U.S. government inflation-protected securities, targeting institutional and retail investors seeking tactical positioning in interest rate and inflation markets.
