Bernstein Liebhard is investigating claims on behalf of investors in Proshares Trust (“ProShares”) leveraged funds (“Leveraged Funds”), such as those listed below. Bernstein Liebhard is investigating whether those who bought shares of the Leveraged Funds have claims against ProShares because ProShares failed to disclose in its registration statements: (i) that if shares of Leveraged Funds were held for a time period longer than one day, the likelihood of catastrophic losses was huge; and (ii) the extent to which performance of the Leveraged Funds would inevitably diverge from the performance of the benchmark.
