REK

📎 Investment Objective

The ProShares Short Real Estate ETF (REK) seeks to provide investment results that correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the daily performance of the Dow Jones U.S. Real Estate Index.

✨ Key Features

• Provides inverse exposure to the U.S. real estate market
• Suitable for investors who believe the real estate sector will decline
• Employs short positions and other derivatives to achieve its inverse objective
• Has low assets under management and expense ratio of 0.00%

⚠️ Primary Risks

• Inverse performance risk - The fund's returns will be the opposite of the underlying index, amplifying both gains and losses
• Volatility risk - The fund's inverse exposure can result in higher volatility compared to the real estate sector
• Liquidity risk - Low trading volume and assets under management may impact the fund's liquidity
• Derivative risk - The use of short positions and other derivatives introduces additional risks

👤 Best For

REK may be suitable for investors with a bearish outlook on the U.S. real estate market who are seeking to hedge their exposure or profit from a decline in real estate prices. However, the fund's inverse and volatile nature makes it a high-risk investment, so it is generally not recommended for long-term buy-and-hold strategies or risk-averse investors.
