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.
If you are a shareholder who purchased shares in the DUG fund during the relevant period, you have until November 23, 2009 to ask the Court to appoint you as lead plaintiff for the class. Shareholders outside the United States may join the action, regardless of where they live or which exchange was used to purchase the securities.
The remainder is available to Stockwatch subscribers.
