Stull, Stull & Brody Files Class Action Lawsuit On Behalf of Investors in ProShares UltraShort Oil and Gas Fund

2009-10-23 17:19 ET - News Release


NEW YORK -- (Business Wire)

The law firm of Stull, Stull & Brody announced that it has filed a class action complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired shares in the UltraShort Oil and Gas Fund (the “DUG Fund”) (NYSE: DUG), 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 (collectively, the “Registration Statement”) issued in connection with shares of the UYG Fund (the “Class”). The action seeks remedies under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”).

In addition to the action concerning the ProShares DUG Fund, Stull, Stull & Brody is currently investigating potential claims on behalf of investors in other ProShares leveraged funds (the “Funds”) (listed below), such as whether ProShares failed to disclose in its registration statements: (i) that if shares of the Funds were held for a time period longer than one day, the likelihood of massive losses was huge; and (ii) the extent to which performance of the Funds would invariably diverge from the performance of the benchmark.
