Two new exchange traded funds (ETFs) are breaking into the market from ProShares which will give exposure to the Russell 3000 Index. The latest ETFs from ProShares will give investors 200% and -200% exposure to the Russell 3000 Index, which measures the stock performance of the largest 3000 U.S. companies – representing approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market.
