The Proshares Ultra MidCap 400 (MVV)

Profile:

Proshares Ultra MidCap 400 (MVV) is an Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) that seeks to mimic the daily investment results, before fees and expenses, corresponding to twice the daily performance of the S&P MidCap 400 Index. In other words, if this underlying index declines by 1% for the day, the NAV of MVV will more or less decline by 2%, before fees and expenses. In the same manner, if this underlying index rises by 1% for the day, the NAV of MVV rises by 2% as well.
