ProShares on Wednesday announced share splits on six of its ETFs, and reverse splits on 11 funds.
ProShares is known for its leveraged and inverse ETFs designed for traders.
Four ETFs will split shares 2-for-1, the investment manager said in a press release:
- ProShares Ultra QQQ (QLD)
- ProShares UltraPro QQQ (TQQQ)

All splits will apply to shareholders of record as of the close of the markets on May 8, ProShares said.
The splits listed above won’t change the value of the overall investment in the ETFs. However, investors will be left with more shares, each one with a lower price.
