Pomerantz Law Firm Investigating Claims On Behalf of Investors in ProShares' UltraShort Oil and Gas Fund

October 9, 2009 6:36 PM EDT

NEW YORK, Oct. 9, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pomerantz Haudek Grossman & Gross LLP has filed a class action (09-cv-06935) on behalf of investors of ProShares' UltraShort Financials Fund (SKF). The Firm is investigating claims in ProShares' UltraShort Oil and Gas Fund ("the DUG Fund") (NYSE: DUG), on behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired shares in the DUG Fund, an exchange-traded fund ("ETF") offered by ProShares Trust ("ProShares"), pursuant or traceable to ProShares' false and misleading Registration Statement, Prospectuses, and Statements of Additional Information issued in connection with the DUG Fund's shares.

The DUG Fund is an inverse leveraged ETF that seeks investment returns that are two times the inverse performance of the Dow Jones U.S. Oil and Gas Index. The investigation centers on the allegation that the registration statement filed by ProShares failed to adequately disclose that DUG shares should not be held more than a single trading day and were not an appropriate hedge against a decline in U.S. based oil and stocks.

Those who invested are advised to contact Jeremy Lieberman at 888-476-6529 or 212-661-1100 or jalieberman@pomlaw.com.
