VPRE Investment Objective and Strategy

ProFund VP Precious Metals describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by ProFunds.

Investment objective

ProFund VP Precious Metals (the Fund) seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the performance of the Dow Jones Precious Metals SM Index (the Index).

Principal investment strategy

The Fund invests in financial instruments that ProFund Advisors believes, in combination, should track the performance of the Index. The Index is designed to measure the performance of U.S. companies engaged in the exploration and production of gold, silver, and platinum included in the S&P Global Broad Market Index. The S&P Global Broad Market Index is designed to measure global stock market performance. The Index includes companies in the following sub-industries according to the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS): gold, precious metals and minerals, and silver. These companies are then weighted based on market capitalization. The Indexs composition and the assigned weights are reevaluated every quarter in March, June, September, and December. The Index is constructed and maintained by S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC.

More information about the Index can be found using the Bloomberg ticker symbol DJGSP. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in components of the Index or in instruments with similar economic characteristics. The Fund will invest principally in the financial instruments listed below. ? Derivatives Financial instruments whose value is derived from the value of an underlying asset or rate, such as stocks, bonds, exchange-traded funds, interest rates or indexes. The Fund invests in derivatives (e.g. swap agreements) in order to gain exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include: ? Swap Agreements Contracts entered into primarily with major global financial institutions for a specified period ranging from a day to more than one year. In a standard swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange or swap payments based on the change in value of an underlying asset or benchmark.

For example, two parties may agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on a particular investment or instrument. ? Money Market Instruments The Fund expects that any cash balances maintained in connection with its use of derivatives will typically be held in high quality, short-term money market instruments, for example: ? U.S. Treasury Bills U.S. government securities that have initial maturities of one year or less, and are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. ? Repurchase Agreements Contracts in which a seller of securities, usually U.S. government securities or other money market instruments, agrees to buy the securities back at a specified time and price. ProFund Advisors uses a mathematical approach to investing in which it determines the type, quantity and mix of investment positions that it believes, in combination, the Fund should hold to produce returns consistent with its investment objective.

The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in financial instruments that, in combination, provide exposure consistent with the investment objective, without regard to market conditions, trends or direction. The Fund may also invest in or gain exposure to only a representative sample of the securities in the Index or to securities not contained in the Index or in financial instruments, with the intent of obtaining exposure consistent with the investment objective.
