Launched on January 30, 2007 and domiciled in the United States, URE trades on NYSE Arca under ticker URE (CUSIP 74347X625) with options availability. The fund is managed by ProShare Advisors LLC, based at 7272 Wisconsin Avenue, Bethesda, Maryland, the headquarters of ProShares, an investment management firm founded in 1999 that pioneered leveraged and inverse ETFs. ProShares oversees a broad lineup of ETFs focused on strategic, tactical, and geared products, with assets under management surpassing $100 billion as of October 2025, reflecting recent expansions including a new office in New York's Hudson Yards and senior leadership enhancements.
Recent developments for ProShares include ongoing innovation in ETF offerings amid market growth, with no specific acquisitions, partnerships, funding rounds, or product launches tied directly to URE in the past 1-2 years; the fund maintains its core 2x leveraged strategy on the real estate sector. URE targets investors seeking amplified daily returns from large-cap U.S. real estate equities, primarily serving the North American market through exchange-traded shares. The fund emphasizes full replication via derivatives rather than physical holdings, with NAV calculated daily at 4:00 p.m. ET.
