ProFund VP Financials

Objective And Strategy

Objective
Seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the performance of the Dow Jones U.S. Financials Index.

Strategy
The Fund invests in equity securities and/or financial instruments that, in combination, are expected to have similar daily return characteristics as the Dow Jones U.S. Financials Index. Under normal circumstances, this ProFund VP commits at least 80% of its net assets, including borrowings for investment purposes, if any, to equity securities contained in the Index and/or financial instruments that, in combination, have similar economic characteristics. ProFund VP Financials may use sampling techniques in seeking its investment objective. Assets not invested in equity securities or financial instruments may be invested in debt instruments or money market instruments.

Principle Risks

* The value of your investment in a Fund is based on the net asset value ("NAV") of the underlying funds and, in turn, the securities that the underlying funds hold. The Funds are subject to the risk that one or more underlying funds will not perform as expected or will under perform other similar funds or that the combination of underlying funds selected by the Funds' investment will not perform as expected. The Funds will be exposed to all of the risk of an investment in the underlying Funds.

* This Fund does not use defensive strategies or attempt to reduce its exposure to poorly performing stocks. Therefore, if the index performs poorly, the Fund, because it is correlated to the index, will perform poorly. Correlation between the Fund's performance and that of the index may also be negatively affected by the Fund's expenses, changes in the composition of the index, and the timing of purchase and redemption of Fund shares.

* A percentage of the fund’s investments may be held for relatively short periods of time. Shorter holding periods, in turn, result in higher portfolio turnover and increased brokerage commission costs.
