ProShares Trust Expects Zero 2016 Capital Gain Distributions
Third Consecutive Year of Zero Capital Gains
ProShares, a premier ETF provider, announced today that it expects that none of its 123 equity and fixed income
ETFs will pay a 2016 capital gain distribution.
"One key reason investors are attracted to ETFs is tax efficiency," said Michael L. Sapir, co-founder and CEO of ProShare
Advisors LLC, the advisor to ProShares. "We are pleased that, for the third year in a row, our management delivered zero capital
gain distributions to the shareholders of all 123 of our equity and fixed income funds."
Capital gain distribution estimates are subject to change. The distribution dates for fourth quarter income dividends are available at ProShares.com. Capital gain distribution and income dividend amounts will vary from year to year. For specific
tax advice, ProShares recommends that investors seek advice from a qualified professional.
