About ProShares UltraShort MSCI Japan (EWV)

The ProShares UltraShort MSCI Japan (EWV) is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that provides investors with a way to profit from a decline in the Japanese stock market. The fund seeks daily investment results that correspond to two times the inverse (-2x) of the daily performance of the MSCI Japan Index. This means that if the index declines by 1%, the ETF is designed to increase by 2%, and vice versa. EWV uses various financial instruments, such as futures contracts and swap agreements, to achieve its investment objective.

The price history of the ProShares UltraShort MSCI Japan ETF reflects the volatility of the Japanese stock market. Over the past year, EWV has experienced significant fluctuations in its share price, as it moves in the opposite direction of the MSCI Japan Index. Investors who believe that the Japanese market will decline can use EWV to profit from this outlook. However, it's important to note that leveraged and inverse ETFs like EWV are designed for short-term trading and may not be suitable for long-term investors.
