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.
