ProShares Ultra SpaceX ETF Company Profile

SPCF, the ProShares Ultra SpaceX ETF, is a leveraged single-stock fund that seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, equal to 2x (200%) the daily performance of the common stock of SpaceX (SPCX). Because the fund pursues a daily objective and resets its exposure each day, it is designed as a short-term, tactical tool rather than a buy-and-hold investment: over any holding period longer than a single day, returns can differ significantly from 2x the underlying stock’s performance, and that gap tends to widen in more volatile markets.
