ProShares Short QQQ (PSQ)

Profile

ProShares Short QQQ is an inverse exchange-traded fund designed to provide daily investment results that correspond to the opposite of the daily performance of the Nasdaq-100 Index. Managed by ProShares, the fund uses derivatives and other portfolio instruments to create short exposure without requiring investors to borrow securities or engage directly in short selling. It primarily gives market participants a way to express a bearish view on large-cap U.S. growth stocks or to hedge existing technology-heavy equity exposure. The fund’s holdings are concentrated in instruments linked to the Nasdaq-100 and related short-term cash or collateral positions, reflecting its objective of delivering a precise one-day inverse outcome. ProShares Short QQQ is widely used as a tactical trading and portfolio management tool within the U.S. equity market.
