ProShares Launches Suite of Autocallable Income ETFs
Three new ETFs provide simpler access to autocallable strategies linked to the S&P 500, Nasdaq-100, and Russell 2000
BETHESDA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- ProShares, a premier provider of ETFs, today announced the launch of three new Autocallable Income ETFs, offering investors a simpler way to access autocallable strategies with the liquidity, transparency, and convenience of an ETF.
Autocallables are income-generating structured instruments linked to the performance of an underlying market index. Each new fund provides exposure to an autocallable notes strategy linked to the S&P 500, Nasdaq-100, or Russell 2000 through a single-ticker solution.
The ETFs launched today are:
- ProShares S&P 500 Autocallable Income ETF (NASDAQ: ACSP)
- ProShares Nasdaq-100 Autocallable Income ETF (NASDAQ: ACQQ)
- ProShares Russell 2000 Autocallable Income ETF (NASDAQ: ACRT)
"Autocallable strategies have traditionally been accessed through individual notes, making them cumbersome for many investors to purchase and manage," said ProShares CEO Michael L. Sapir. “Our Autocallable Income ETFs are designed to offer the attractive income potential of a diversified autocallable notes strategy with liquid, single-ticker access.”
Each fund’s strategy targets a portfolio of autocallables with staggered, or laddered maturities. The laddered approach is designed to provide diversification* across maturities and a more consistent stream of income than an investment in a single autocallable.
Investors can monitor each fund's autocallable ladder through an interactive dashboard on each fund’s webpage: ACSP, ACQQ, ACRT.
*Diversification does not ensure a profit or guarantee against a loss.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. The Funds should not be expected to perform like an investment in the S&P 500, Nasdaq-100, or Russell 2000 Indexes. There is no guarantee each Fund will achieve its investment objective or make monthly distributions.
Each Fund seeks to track an index designed to replicate a laddered autocallable note strategy. An autocallable note is a structured debt instrument that pays regular income and returns principal at maturity unless the underlying equity instrument declines beyond a specified barrier. The Funds do not invest directly in autocallable notes. Instead, each Fund obtains exposure primarily through swap agreements that track an index of equivalent autocallable notes. In exchange for the potential to generate high income, investors retain downside market risk, and the Funds may lose money even if the S&P 500, Nasdaq-100, or Russell 2000 Indexes rise. In addition, the embedded features of autocallable notes (e.g., barrier, non-call period, and autocall level) limit their potential to appreciate in value. If an autocall feature is triggered, the applicable note is redeemed early and the strategy will forego any future coupon payments and appreciation associated with that note.
If a Fund’s underlying index closes below its 35% barrier at an autocallable’s maturity, its principal is fully exposed to the underlying index’s losses. For example, if the underlying index has declined 45% at maturity, the autocallable would lose 45% of its value. Each Fund may experience substantial losses even if none of the underlying autocallable notes have breached their barriers. Each Fund’s underlying index targets an annualized volatility level of 35% and may obtain leveraged exposure of up to 500% to the S&P 500, Nasdaq-100, or Russell 2000 when volatility is low. Leverage increases volatility and the risk of substantial loss, and the costs of obtaining leverage will reduce returns.
Each Fund intends to make monthly distributions that generally reflect the income generated by the index, net of expenses. Distributions are not guaranteed, may vary significantly and may consist of ordinary income, return of capital or both. Because distributions reduce the Fund’s NAV, repeated distributions, particularly when they exceed the Fund’s gains, may materially erode the Fund’s NAV, trading price and an investor’s principal over time. A return of capital generally reduces a shareholder’s tax basis and may result in a higher taxable gain or lower taxable loss when shares are sold.
These ProShares ETFs are non-diversified and subject to risks associated with autocallable strategies, derivatives (including swap agreements), barrier risk, counterparty risk, investments in information technology companies, investments in small companies, imperfect benchmark correlation, leverage, market price variance, and new fund risk. Please see the summary and full prospectuses for a more complete description of risks.
Shares of any ETF are generally bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the fund. Your brokerage commissions will reduce returns.
