NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 11/12/09 -- Bernstein Liebhard LLP has filed a case against ProShares Trust ("ProShares") concerning ProShares' DUG (NYSE: DUG) fund. This complaint alleges that ProShares, as well as others, violated the Securities Act of 1933 by failing to disclose the following risks, inter alia, in the Registration Statement, Prospectuses, and Statements of Additional Information issued in connection with shares of the DUG fund:
(1) if shares of the DUG fund were held for a time period longer than one day, the likelihood of catastrophic losses was huge; and (2) the extent to which performance of the DUG fund would inevitably diverge from the performance of its benchmark -- i.e., the overwhelming probability, if not certainty, of spectacular divergence.
The current lead plaintiff deadlines for the various ProShares funds are as follows:
DUG, UYG-11/23/09
DXD-11/30/09
A "lead plaintiff" is a representative party that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. In order to be appointed lead plaintiff, the court must determine that the class member's claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class member will adequately represent the class. Under certain circumstances, one or more class members may together serve as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. You may retain Bernstein Liebhard LLP, or other counsel of your choice, to serve as your counsel in this action.
Bernstein Liebhard is also investigating claims on behalf of investors in all other ProShares leveraged funds (see list below).
