About ProShares Short Real Estate (REK)

The ProShares Short Real Estate (REK) is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that seeks daily investment results that correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the daily performance of the Dow Jones U.S. Real Estate Index. The objective of the REK ETF is to provide investors with a way to profit from a decline in the real estate sector. The fund consists of various real estate investment trusts (REITs), real estate operating companies (REOCs), and other real estate-related companies.

With the ProShares Short Real Estate ETF, investors can take a short position in the real estate market without having to sell individual stocks or real estate properties. This allows investors to hedge against potential losses in their real estate holdings or to capitalize on market downturns. The REK ETF is designed for short-term trading and may not be suitable for long-term investors. It is important to note that the performance of the ETF will likely differ from the inverse performance of the underlying index, due to expenses and other factors.
