**4 :: ProFund Access VP High Yield**

**Investment Objective**

ProFund Access VP High Yield (the "Fund") seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the total return of the high yield market consistent with maintaining reasonable liquidity.

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. The expenses shown do not reflect charges or fees associated with insurance company separate accounts or insurance contracts, which would have the effect of increasing overall expenses. Annuity and policy holders should consult the prospectus for their contract or policy for more information about such charges and fees.

| Investment Advisory Fees | 0.75% |
| Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees | 0.25% |
| Other Expenses | 0.64% |
| **Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses**<sup>1</sup> | **1.64%** |

---

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board. Amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular contractual period may be recouped by ProFund Advisors within three years subject to certain limitations.

**Example:** This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. It does not reflect separate account or insurance contract fees or charges. If these charges were reflected, expenses would be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

---

|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | 1 Year | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years |
| Access VP High Yield | $167 | $517 | $892 | $1944 |

---

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs.

These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

If the Fund is successful in meeting its objective, its net asset value should generally gain value as the high yield market (i.e., U.S. corporate high yield debt market) is rallying (gaining value). Conversely, its net asset value should generally decrease in value as the high yield market is falling (losing value).

The Fund is actively managed and seeks to achieve returns that are not directly correlated to any particular fixed income index. The Fund invests primarily in financial instruments that ProFund Advisors believes, in combination, should provide investment results that correspond generally to the high yield market consistent with maintaining reasonable liquidity. The Fund uses the Markit iBoxx $ Liquid High Yield Index as a performance benchmark only, and does not seek to track its performance.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in securities that provide exposure to the high yield market and/or in instruments with similar economic characteristics.

The Fund will invest principally in the financial instruments listed below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Derivatives** — Financial instruments whose value is derived from the value of an underlying asset or rate, such as stocks, bonds, ETFs, interest rates or indexes. The Fund invests in derivatives (e.g. swap agreements) in order to gain exposure to the high yield market. These derivatives principally include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**U.S. Treasury Bills** — U.S. government securities that have initial maturities of one year or less, and are

------

**ProFund Access VP High Yield :: 5**

supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

The Fund seeks to maintain exposure to the high yield market regardless of market conditions and without taking defensive positions in cash or other instruments in anticipation of an adverse climate for the high yield market. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**High Yield Risk** — Investment in or exposure to high yield (lower rated) debt instruments (also known as "junk bonds") may involve greater levels of credit, prepayment, liquidity and valuation risk than for higher rated instruments. High yield debt instruments may be more sensitive to economic changes, political changes, or adverse developments specific to a company than other fixed income instruments. These securities are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to economic changes, valuation difficulties, and a potential lack of a secondary or public market for securities. High yield debt instruments are considered speculative with respect to the issuer's continuing ability to make principal and interest payments and, therefore, such instruments generally involve greater risk of default or price changes than higher rated debt instruments. Furthermore, the transaction costs associated with the purchase and sale of high yield debt instruments may vary greatly depending upon a number of factors and may adversely affect the Fund's performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Debt Instrument Risk** — Debt instruments are subject to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market and economic developments, as well as developments that affect specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. Debt markets can be volatile and the value of instruments correlated with these markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Interest Rate Risk** — Interest rate risk is the risk that debt instruments or related financial instruments may fluctuate in value due to changes in interest rates. A wide variety of factors can cause interest rates to fluctuate (e.g., central bank monetary policies, fiscal or other government policies, inflation rates, general economic conditions, etc.). Commonly, investments subject to interest rate risk will decrease in value when interest rates rise and increase in value when interest rates decline. A rising interest rate environment may cause the value of debt instruments to decrease and adversely impact the liquidity of debt instruments. Without taking into account other factors, the value of securities with longer maturities typically fluctuates more in response to

interest rate changes than securities with shorter maturities. These factors may cause the value of an investment in the Fund to change.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Money Market Instruments Risk** — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Derivatives Risk** — Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. To the extent the Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, the Fund will be subject to the risks of that ETF including the risk that the ETF may not meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund may be subject to greater correlation risk since the performance of the ETF may not correlate to the performance of the high yield market. Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund's return.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Counterparty Risk** — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations. With respect to swap agreements, the terms of the agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund, including intraday (for example, if the high yield market has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund's net assets). If an agreement is terminated, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Management Risk** — The Fund is actively managed and its performance reflects the investment decisions that ProFund Advisors makes for the Fund. ProFund Advisors' judgments about the Fund's investments may prove to be incorrect. If the investments selected and strategies employed by the Fund fail to produce the intended results, the Fund could underperform or have negative returns as compared to other funds with a similar investment objective and/or strategies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain

------

**6 :: ProFund Access VP High Yield**

circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Valuation Time Risk** — The Fund typically values its portfolio at 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). In certain cases, the Fund's portfolio investments trade in markets on days and at times when the Fund is not open for business. As a result, the value of the Fund may change, perhaps significantly, on days and at times when shareholders are unable to purchase, redeem, or exchange shares.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Investment Results**

The bar chart below shows how the Fund's investment results have varied from year to year, and the table shows how the Fund's average annual total returns for various periods compare with different broad measures of market performance. This information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund's performance information reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. It does not reflect charges and fees associated with a separate account that invests in the Fund or any insurance contract for which it is an investment option. Charges and fees will reduce returns. Past results are not predictive of future results.

The Fund is the successor to the Access VP High Yield Fund, a series of Access One Trust (the "Predecessor Fund"), a mutual fund with identical investment objectives, policies, and restrictions, as a result of the reorganization of the Predecessor Fund into the Fund on April 23, 2021 (the "Reorganization Date"). The performance in the bar chart and table for the periods prior to the Reorganization Date is that of the Predecessor Fund.

**Management**

The Fund is advised by ProFund Advisors. Michael Neches, Senior Portfolio Manager, and Tarak Davé, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since October 2024.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares**

Shares are available for purchase by insurance company separate accounts to serve as an investment medium for variable insurance contracts, and by qualified pension and retirement plans, certain insurance companies, and ProFund Advisors. Investors do not contact the Fund directly to purchase or redeem shares. Please refer to the prospectus of the relevant separate account for information on the allocation of premiums and on

------

**ProFund Access VP High Yield :: 7**

transfers of accumulated value among sub-accounts of the separate accounts that invest in the Fund.

**Tax Information**

The Fund normally distributes its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. If you are a holder of a contract or policy that invests in the Fund through an insurance company separate account, then these distributions will generally not be taxable to you; please consult the prospectus or other information provided to you by the insurance company regarding the tax consequences of your contract or policy. If you are a holder of such a contract or policy, or if you are investing through a pension or retirement plan that is a tax-advantaged arrangement, you may be taxed later upon distributions with respect to or from those contracts or arrangements. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, quarterly, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

**Payments to Insurance Companies and Other Financial Intermediaries**

The Fund or its distributor (and related companies) may pay insurance companies, which in turn may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks and insurance companies, or their related companies) for the sale and retention of variable contracts and/or policies which offer Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest for a financial intermediary selling such variable contracts and/or policies, or may be a factor in the insurance company's decision to include the Fund as an investment option in its variable contract or policy. For more information, ask your financial advisor, visit your financial intermediary's website or consult the prospectus for the contract or policy.

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 249% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund invests in securities that ProFund Advisors believes, in combination, should track the performance of the Index.

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 securities listed below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity Securities** — Common stock issued by public companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Depositary Receipts** — The Fund may invest in depositary receipts, which principally include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**American Depositary Receipts (ADRs),** which represent the right to receive securities of foreign issuers deposited in a bank or trust company and are an alternative to purchasing the underlying securities in their national markets and currencies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs),** which are receipts for shares in a foreign-based corporation traded in capital markets around the world.

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

------

**ProFund VP Asia 30 :: 9**

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.

The Index is created and sponsored by ProFund Advisors and is licensed for use by ProFunds.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Asian Investments Risk** – Investments in securities of issuers in certain Asian countries involve risks that are specific to Asia, including certain legal, regulatory, political and economic risks. Certain Asian countries have experienced expropriation and/or nationalization of assets, confiscatory taxation, institution of tariffs or other trade barriers, political instability, armed conflict and social instability as a result of religious, ethnic, socio-economic and/ or political unrest. Some economies in this region are dependent on a range of commodities, and are strongly affected by international commodity prices and particularly vulnerable to price changes for these products. The market for securities in this region may also be directly influenced by the flow of international capital, and by the economic and market conditions of neighboring countries. Many Asian economies have experienced rapid growth and industrialization, and there is no assurance that this growth rate will be maintained. Some Asian economies are highly dependent on trade and economic conditions in other countries can impact these economies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Foreign Currency Risk** — Investments linked to or denominated in foreign currencies are exposed to additional risk factors versus those investments denominated in U.S. dollars and linked to U.S. investments. The value of an investment linked to or denominated in a foreign currency could change significantly as foreign currencies strengthen or weaken relative to the U.S. dollar.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Foreign Investments/Emerging Market Risk** — Exposure to securities of foreign issuers may provide the Fund with increased risk. Foreign investments may be more susceptible to political, social, economic and regional factors than may be the case with U.S. securities. In addition, markets for foreign investments are usually less liquid, more volatile and significantly smaller than markets for U.S. securities, which may affect, among other things, the Fund's ability to purchase or sell foreign investments at appropriate times and prices. Because of differences in settlement times and/or foreign market holidays, transactions in a foreign market may take place one or more days after the necessary exposure to these investments is determined.

Because the Fund's foreign investment exposure may include issuers domiciled in developing or "emerging market" countries, all the aforementioned factors are heightened. Investments in emerging markets are considered speculative.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund's exposure may not be consistent with the Index. For example, the Fund may not have exposure to all of the securities in the Index, its weighting of securities may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the consumer discretionary, financials, media & entertainment and semiconductors & semiconductor equipment industry groups.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Consumer Discretionary Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: impact of changing economic conditions, interest rates, competition and consumer confidence; heavy dependence on disposable household income and consumer spending; severe competition; and changes in demographics and consumer tastes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Financials Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: extensive governmental regulation and/or nationalization that affects the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain; adverse effects from increases in interest rates; adverse effects on profitability by loan losses; and severe competition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Media and Entertainment Industry Risk** — Companies in this sector may experience: high costs of research and development of new content and services; changing consumer tastes, and changing consumer discretionary income patterns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Semiconductors and Semiconductor Equipment Industry Risk** — Companies in this sector may experience: intense competition, wide fluctuations in securities prices due to risks of rapid obsolescence of products, significant research costs, and limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. Companies in this sector may also be affected by risks that affect the broader technology sector.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Geographic Concentration Risk** — Because the Fund focuses its investments in one or more foreign countries, an investment in the Fund may be more volatile than a more geographically diversified fund. The performance of the Fund will be affected by the political, social and economic conditions in those foreign countries and subject to the related risks. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in China and Taiwan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Chinese Investments Risk** — Investments in securities of issuers in China include risks such as, less developed or less efficient trading markets; currency fluctuations or blockage; nationalization of assets; limits on repatriation; institution of tariffs or other trade barriers; uncertainty surrounding trading suspensions; and a lack of publicly available information China is an emerging market and demonstrates significantly higher volatility from time to time in comparison to developed markets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Taiwanese Investments Risk** — Investments in securities of issuers in Taiwan are subject to risks, including, but not limited to, legal, regulatory, political, currency and economic risks that are specific to Taiwan. Specifically, Taiwan's geographic proximity and history of political contention with China have resulted in ongoing tensions between the two countries, which may materially affect the Taiwanese companies. Investments in securities of Taiwanese companies are subject to Taiwan's heavy dependence on exports. Reductions in spending on Taiwanese products and services, labor shortages, institution of tariffs or other trade barriers, or a downturn in any of the economies of Taiwan's key trading partners, including the United States, may have an adverse impact on the Taiwanese economy and the values of Taiwanese companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers. This may increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Self-Indexing Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may

underperform other similar indices. The Index is sponsored by ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Investment Results**

The bar chart below shows how the Fund's investment results have varied from year to year, and the table shows how the Fund's average annual total returns for various periods compare with different broad measures of market performance. This information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund's performance information reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. It does not reflect charges and fees associated with a separate account that invests in the Fund or any insurance contract for which it is an investment option. Charges and fees will reduce returns. Past results are not predictive of future results.

Reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. Returns are gross returns that do not reflect the reduction of any withholding taxes, and are adjusted to reflect the reinvestment of dividends paid by companies in the Index.

**Management**

The Fund is advised by ProFund Advisors. Alexander Ilyasov, Senior Portfolio Manager, and Eric Silverthorne, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since August 2020 and March 2023, respectively.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares**

Shares are available for purchase by insurance company separate accounts to serve as an investment medium for variable insurance contracts, and by qualified pension and retirement plans, certain insurance companies, and ProFund Advisors. Investors do not contact the Fund directly to purchase or redeem shares. Please refer to the prospectus of the relevant separate

account for information on the allocation of premiums and on transfers of accumulated value among sub-accounts of the separate accounts that invest in the Fund.

**Tax Information**

The Fund normally distributes its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. If you are a holder of a contract or policy that invests in the Fund through an insurance company separate account, then these distributions will generally not be taxable to you; please consult the prospectus or other information provided to you by the insurance company regarding the tax consequences of your contract or policy. If you are a holder of such a contract or policy, or if you are investing through a pension or retirement plan that is a tax-advantaged arrangement, you may be taxed later upon distributions with respect to or from those contracts or arrangements. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

**Payments to Insurance Companies and Other Financial Intermediaries**

The Fund or its distributor (and related companies) may pay insurance companies, which in turn may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks and insurance companies, or their related companies) for the sale and retention of variable contracts and/or policies which offer Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest for a financial intermediary selling such variable contracts and/or policies, or may be a factor in the insurance company's decision to include the Fund as an investment option in its variable contract or policy. For more information, ask your financial advisor, visit your financial intermediary's website or consult the prospectus for the contract or policy.

**Investment Objective**

ProFund VP Banks (the "Fund") seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the performance of the S&P Banks Select Industry Index (the "Index").

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. The expenses shown do not reflect charges or fees associated with insurance company separate accounts or insurance contracts, which would have the effect of increasing overall expenses. Annuity and policy holders should consult the prospectus for their contract or policy for more information about such charges and fees.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board. Amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular contractual period may be recouped by ProFund Advisors within three years subject to certain limitations.

**Example:** This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. It does not reflect separate account or insurance contract fees or charges. If these charges were reflected, expenses would be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 1,125% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund invests in securities that ProFund Advisors believes, in combination, should track the performance of the Index.

The Index is designed to measure the performance of banking companies included in the S&P Total Market Index. The S&P Total Market Index is designed to track the broad equity market listed and domiciled in the U.S. The Index includes companies in the following sub-industries according to the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS): asset management & custody banks, diversified banks, regional banks, diversified financial services, and commercial & residential mortgage finance. These companies are then weighted using an equal weight methodology with liquidity adjustments. The Index's composition and the assigned weights are reevaluated every September with additional weight adjustments in March, June, 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 "SPSIBK."

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 securities listed below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity Securities** — Common stock issued by public companies.

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

------

**ProFund VP Banks :: 13**

financial instruments, with the intent of obtaining exposure consistent with the investment objective.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Banks Industry Risk** — The risks of investments in the industry include: extensive governmental regulation and/or nationalization that affects the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain; adverse effects on profitability due to increases in interest rates or loan losses (which usually increase in economic downturns, which could lead to insolvency or other negative consequences); severe price competition; economic conditions; credit rating downgrades; and increased inter-sector consolidation and competition. This sector has experienced significant losses in the recent past, and the impact of more stringent capital requirements and of recent or future regulation on any individual bank or on the sector as a whole cannot be predicted. The banks industry may also be affected by risks that affect the broader financial services industry.

The distress, impairment, or failure of one or more banking institutions may affect the value of investments in the industry. The failure of a banking institution could raise economic concerns over disruption in the industry. There can be no certainty that any actions taken by governments or quasi-governmental organizations will be effective in mitigating the effects of banking institution failures on the economy or restoring public confidence in the banking industry.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund's exposure may not be consistent with the Index. For example, the Fund may not have exposure to all of the securities in the Index, its weighting of securities may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the banks industry group.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers. This may increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

**Payments to Insurance Companies and Other Financial Intermediaries**

The Fund or its distributor (and related companies) may pay insurance companies, which in turn may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks and insurance companies, or their related companies) for the sale and retention of variable contracts and/or policies which offer Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest for a financial intermediary selling such variable contracts and/or policies, or may be a factor in the insurance company's decision to include the Fund as an investment option in its variable contract or policy. For more information, ask your financial advisor, visit your financial intermediary's website or consult the prospectus for the contract or policy.

**ProFund VP Bear :: 15**

**Investment Objective**

ProFund VP Bear (the "Fund") seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the daily performance of the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index (the "Index").

**Important Information About the Fund**

If the Fund is successful in meeting its investment objective, it should gain approximately as much as the Index loses when the Index falls on a given day. Conversely, it should lose approximately as much as the Index gains when the Index rises on a given day. **The Fund does not seek to achieve the inverse (-1x) of the daily performance of the Index (the "Daily Target") for any period other than a day.**

While the Fund has a daily investment objective, you may hold Fund shares for longer than one day if you believe doing so is consistent with your goals and risk tolerance. **If you hold fund shares for any period other than a day, it is important for you to understand that over your holding period:** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Your return may be higher or lower than the Daily Target, and this difference may be significant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Factors that contribute to returns that are worse than the Daily Target include smaller Index gains or losses and higher Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Factors that contribute to returns that are better than the Daily Target include larger Index gains or losses and lower Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●The more extreme these factors are, and the more they occur together, the more your return will tend to deviate from the Daily Target.

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. The expenses shown do not reflect charges or fees associated with insurance company separate accounts or insurance contracts, which would have the effect of increasing overall expenses. Annuity and policy holders should consult the prospectus for their contract or policy for more information about such charges and fees.

The "Recoupment" line shows gross recoupment payments made by the Fund during its most recent fiscal year. In addition, at times during the fiscal year amounts were waived or reimbursed to the Fund - the gross amount of this waiver/reimbursement is shown separately in the "Fee Waivers/Reimbursements" line. The recoupment shown did not cause the Fund's expenses to exceed any expense limitation in place at the time of recoupment or the time the recouped amounts were originally waived/reimbursed.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board. Amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular contractual period may be recouped by ProFund Advisors within three years subject to certain limitations.

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund invests in financial instruments that ProFund Advisors believes, in combination, should produce daily returns consistent with the Daily Target.

The Index is designed to measure the performance of 500 of the largest companies listed and domiciled in the U.S. These

companies are weighted based on market capitalization. The Index's composition and the assigned weights are reevaluated every September with additional weight adjustments in March, June, 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 "SPX."

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will obtain inverse exposure to 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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 and futures contracts) in order to gain inverse exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Futures Contracts** — Standardized contracts that obligate the parties to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price and date in the future.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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 daily returns consistent with the Daily Target. For these purposes a day is measured from the time of one net asset value ("NAV") calculation to the next.

The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in financial instruments that, in combination, provide inverse exposure consistent with the investment objective, without regard to market conditions, trends or direction. However, the Fund may

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 inverse exposure consistent with the investment objective.

The Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio each day so that its exposure to the Index is consistent with the Daily Target. The Index's movements during the day will affect whether the Fund's portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the Index has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall (assuming there were no shares issued). As a result, the Fund's exposure will need to be decreased. Conversely, if the Index has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise (assuming there were no share redemptions). As a result, the Fund's exposure will need to be increased.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Short or Inverse Investing Risk** — You will lose money when the Index rises – a result that is the opposite from a traditional index fund. Obtaining inverse or "short" exposure may be considered an aggressive investment technique. The costs of obtaining this short exposure will lower your returns. If the level of the Index approaches a 100% increase at any point in the day, you could lose your entire investment. As a result, an investment in the Fund may not be suitable for all investors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Holding Period Risk** — The performance of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will likely differ from the Daily Target. This difference may be significant. **If you are considering holding fund shares for longer than a day, it's important that you understand the impact of the return and volatility (how much the value of the Index moves up and down from day-to-day) of the Index on your holding period return.** The volatility of the Index has a negative impact on Fund returns. During periods of higher volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the Fund's returns as much as or more than the return of the Index.

The following table illustrates the impact of the volatility and return of the Index on Fund returns for a hypothetical one-year period. However, these effects will impact your return for any holding period other than a day. **The longer you hold shares of the Fund, the more magnified these effects will be. As a result, you should consider monitoring your investments in the Fund in light of your individual investment goals and risk tolerance.** 

In the table areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than the Daily Target. As the table shows, your return will tend to be worse than the Daily Target when there are smaller gains or losses and higher volatility in the Index. Your return will tend to be better than the Daily Target when there are larger gains or losses and lower volatility in the Index. You may lose money

**ProFund VP Bear :: 17**

when the return of the Index is flat (i.e., close to zero) and you may lose money when the Index falls.

The table uses hypothetical annualized volatility and returns of the Index to illustrate the impact of these two factors on Fund performance over a one-year period. It does not represent actual returns. Each row corresponds to the level of a hypothetical return of the Index for a one-year period. Each column corresponds to a level of hypothetical annualized volatility of the Index. For example, the Fund may mistakenly be expected to achieve a -20% return on a yearly basis if the annual return of the Index were 20%. However, as the table shows, with a one-year return of the Index of 20% and an annualized volatility of the Index of 50%, the Fund could be expected to return -35.1%.

Assumes: (a) no dividends paid with respect to securities included in the Index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain inverse exposure) of zero percent. If these were included the Fund's performance would be different from that shown.

The annualized historical volatility rate for the Index for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 16.97%. The highest December to December volatility rate for the Index during the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 24.18% (December 31, 2022). The annualized total return performance of the Index for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 14.42%. The historical volatility and performance of the Index do not predict future volatility and performance of the Index.

For more information, including additional graphs and charts demonstrating the effects of the volatility and return of the Index on the long-term performance of the Fund, see "Understanding the Risks and Long-Term Performance of a Daily Objective Fund" in the Fund's Prospectus.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its Daily Target. In addition, the Fund may not have inverse exposure to all of the instruments in the Index, its weighting of those instruments may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index. Moreover, if for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a portion of its investments, the Fund may have exposure to the Index that is significantly greater or less than the Daily Target. Any of these factors may prevent the Fund from achieving exposure consistent with the Daily Target.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Derivatives Risk** — Investing in derivatives to obtain inverse exposure may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. To the extent the Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, the Fund will be subject to the risks of that ETF including the risk that the ETF may not meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund may be subject to greater correlation risk since the performance of the ETF may not correlate to the performance of the Index. Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund's return.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Counterparty Risk** — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations. With respect to swap agreements, the terms of the agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund, including intraday (for example, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund's net assets). If an agreement is terminated, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Leverage Risk** — Leverage increases the risk of a total loss of an investor's investment, may increase the volatility of the Fund, and may magnify any differences between the performance of the Fund and the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs,

recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events. As a fund seeking daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the daily return of the Index, the value of an investment in the Fund is expected to decline when market conditions cause the level of the Index to rise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Money Market Instruments Risk** — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the information technology industry group.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Information Technology Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: intense competition, obsolescence of existing technology, and changing economic conditions and government regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on

specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Investment Results**

The bar chart below shows how the Fund's investment results have varied from year to year, and the table shows how the Fund's average annual total returns for various periods compare with a broad measure of market performance. This information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund's performance information reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. It does not reflect charges and fees associated with a separate account that invests in the Fund or any insurance contract for which it is an investment option. Charges and fees will reduce returns. Past results are not predictive of future results.

**ProFund VP Bear :: 19**

**Management**

The Fund is advised by ProFund Advisors. Michael Neches, Senior Portfolio Manager, and Devin Sullivan, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since October 2013 and March 2018, respectively.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares**

Shares are available for purchase by insurance company separate accounts to serve as an investment medium for variable insurance contracts, and by qualified pension and retirement plans, certain insurance companies, and ProFund Advisors. Investors do not contact the Fund directly to purchase or redeem shares. Please refer to the prospectus of the relevant separate account for information on the allocation of premiums and on transfers of accumulated value among sub-accounts of the separate accounts that invest in the Fund.

**Tax Information**

The Fund normally distributes its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. If you are a holder of a contract or policy that invests in the Fund through an insurance company separate account, then these distributions will generally not be taxable to you; please consult the prospectus or other information provided to you by the insurance company

regarding the tax consequences of your contract or policy. If you are a holder of such a contract or policy, or if you are investing through a pension or retirement plan that is a tax-advantaged arrangement, you may be taxed later upon distributions with respect to or from those contracts or arrangements. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

**Payments to Insurance Companies and Other Financial Intermediaries**

The Fund or its distributor (and related companies) may pay insurance companies, which in turn may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks and insurance companies, or their related companies) for the sale and retention of variable contracts and/or policies which offer Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest for a financial intermediary selling such variable contracts and/or policies, or may be a factor in the insurance company's decision to include the Fund as an investment option in its variable contract or policy. For more information, ask your financial advisor, visit your financial intermediary's website or consult the prospectus for the contract or policy.

**20 :: ProFund VP Biotechnology**

**Investment Objective**

ProFund VP Biotechnology (the "Fund") seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the performance of the S&P Biotechnology Select Industry Index (the "Index").

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. The expenses shown do not reflect charges or fees associated with insurance company separate accounts or insurance contracts, which would have the effect of increasing overall expenses. Annuity and policy holders should consult the prospectus for their contract or policy for more information about such charges and fees.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board. Amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular contractual period may be recouped by ProFund Advisors within three years subject to certain limitations.

**Example:** This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. It does not reflect separate account or insurance contract fees or charges. If these charges were reflected, expenses would be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund

Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 222% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund invests in securities that ProFund Advisors believes, in combination, should track the performance of the Index.

The Index is designed to measure the performance of biotechnology companies included in the S&P Total Market Index. The S&P Total Market Index is designed to track the broad equity market listed and domiciled in the U.S. The Index includes companies in the biotechnology sub-industry according to the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS). These companies are then weighted using an equal weight methodology with liquidity adjustments. The Index's composition and the assigned weights are reevaluated every September with additional weight adjustments in March, June, 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 "SPSIBI."

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 securities listed below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity Securities** — Common stock issued by public companies.

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.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Pharmaceuticals, Biotechnology, and Life Sciences Industry Risk** — The risks of investments in the industry include: heavy dependence on patents and intellectual property rights, with profitability affected by the loss or impairment of such rights; risks of new technologies and competitive pressures; large expenditures on research and development of products or services that may not prove commercially successful or may become obsolete quickly;

**ProFund VP Biotechnology :: 21**

regulations and restrictions imposed by the Food and Drug Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, state and local governments, and foreign regulatory authorities; and thin capitalization and limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. Moreover, stock prices of biotechnology companies are very volatile, particularly when their products are up for regulatory approval and/or under regulatory scrutiny. The biotechnology sector may also be affected by risks that affect the broader health care industry, including expenses and losses from extensive litigation on product liability and similar claims. The pharmaceuticals sector may also be affected by risks that affect the broader health care industry, including: heavy dependence on patent protection, with profitability affected by the expiration of patents; supply chain issues; labor shortages; product liability claims; competitive forces that may make it difficult to raise prices and, in fact, may result in price discounts; and thin capitalization and limited product lines, markets and financial resources or personnel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund's exposure may not be consistent with the Index. For example, the Fund may not have exposure to all of the securities in the Index, its weighting of securities may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the

Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry group.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers. This may increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board. Amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular contractual period may be recouped by ProFund Advisors within three years subject to certain limitations.

**Example:** This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. It does not reflect separate account or insurance contract fees or charges. If these charges were reflected, expenses would be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

---

|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | 1 Year | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years |
| ProFund VP Bull | $171 | $530 | $913 | $1987 |

---

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 136% of the average value of its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

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 500 of the largest companies listed and domiciled in the U.S. These companies are weighted based on market capitalization. The Index's composition and the assigned weights are reevaluated every September with additional weight adjustments in March, June, 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 "SPX."

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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity Securities** — Common stock issued by public companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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 and futures contracts) in order to gain exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

**24 :: ProFund VP Bull**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Futures Contracts** — Standardized contracts that obligate the parties to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price and date in the future.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Derivatives Risk** — Investing in derivatives to obtain exposure may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. To the extent the Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, the Fund will be subject to the risks of that ETF including the risk that the ETF may not meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund may be subject to greater correlation risk since the performance of the ETF may not correlate to the performance of the Index. Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund's return.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Counterparty Risk** — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations. With respect to swap agreements, the terms of the agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund, including intraday (for example, if the Index has a

dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund's net assets). If an agreement is terminated, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Money Market Instruments Risk** — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund's exposure may not be consistent with the Index. For example, the Fund may not have exposure to all of the securities in the Index, its weighting of securities may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the information technology industry group.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Information Technology Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: intense competition, obsolescence of existing technology, and changing economic conditions and government regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may

------

**ProFund VP Bull :: 25**

increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Investment Results**

The bar chart below shows how the Fund's investment results have varied from year to year, and the table shows how the Fund's average annual total returns for various periods compare with a broad measure of market performance. This information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund's performance information reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. It does not reflect charges and fees associated with a separate account that invests in the Fund or any insurance contract for which it is an investment option. Charges and fees will reduce returns. Past results are not predictive of future results.

**Management**

The Fund is advised by ProFund Advisors. Michael Neches, Senior Portfolio Manager, and Devin Sullivan, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since October 2013 and March 2018, respectively.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares**

Shares are available for purchase by insurance company separate accounts to serve as an investment medium for variable insurance contracts, and by qualified pension and retirement plans, certain insurance companies, and ProFund Advisors. Investors do not contact the Fund directly to purchase or redeem shares. Please refer to the prospectus of the relevant separate account for information on the allocation of premiums and on

------

**26 :: ProFund VP Bull**

transfers of accumulated value among sub-accounts of the separate accounts that invest in the Fund.

**Tax Information**

The Fund normally distributes its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. If you are a holder of a contract or policy that invests in the Fund through an insurance company separate account, then these distributions will generally not be taxable to you; please consult the prospectus or other information provided to you by the insurance company regarding the tax consequences of your contract or policy. If you are a holder of such a contract or policy, or if you are investing through a pension or retirement plan that is a tax-advantaged arrangement, you may be taxed later upon distributions with respect to or from those contracts or arrangements. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

**Payments to Insurance Companies and Other Financial Intermediaries**

The Fund or its distributor (and related companies) may pay insurance companies, which in turn may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks and insurance companies, or their related companies) for the sale and retention of variable contracts and/or policies which offer Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest for a financial intermediary selling such variable contracts and/or policies, or may be a factor in the insurance company's decision to include the Fund as an investment option in its variable contract or policy. For more information, ask your financial advisor, visit your financial intermediary's website or consult the prospectus for the contract or policy.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund invests in securities that ProFund Advisors believes, in combination, should track the performance of the Index.

The Index is designed to measure the performance of communication services companies included in the S&P 500 Index.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Communication Services Industry Risk** — The risk of investments in the industry include: the potential obsolescence of products and services due to increasing competition from the innovation of competitors; increased research and development costs and capital requirements to formulate new products and services that utilize new technology; pricing new and existing products to match or beat industry competitors, shifting demographics and changes to consumer taste, which can negatively impact profitability; and regulation by the Federal Communications Commission and various state regulatory authorities. Companies in the communication services industry may be more susceptible to cybersecurity issues than companies in other industries, including hacking, theft of proprietary or consumer information, and disruptions in service.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events.

As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the media & entertainment industry group.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Media and Entertainment Industry Risk** — Companies in this sector may experience: high costs of research and development of new content and services; changing consumer tastes, and changing consumer discretionary income patterns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers.

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 223% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund invests in securities that ProFund Advisors believes, in combination, should track the performance of the Index.

The Index is designed to measure the performance of consumer discretionary companies included in the S&P 500 Index. The S&P 500 Index is designed to measure the performance of 500 of the largest companies listed and domiciled in the U.S. The Index includes consumer discretionary companies in the following industries according to the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS): automobile components; automobiles; household durables; leisure products; textiles, apparel & luxury goods; hotels, restaurants, & leisure; diversified consumer services; distributors; broadline retail; and specialty retail. These companies are then weighted based on market capitalization. The Index's composition and the assigned weights are reevaluated every September with additional weight adjustments in March, June, 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 "IXY."

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 securities listed below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity Securities** — Common stock issued by public companies.

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

**ProFund VP Consumer Discretionary :: 31**

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.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Consumer Discretionary Industry Risk** — The risks of investments in the industry include: the fact that securities prices and profitability may be tied closely to the performance of the domestic and international economy, interest rates, supply chains, competition and consumer confidence; heavy dependence on disposable household income and consumer spending; severe competition; and changes in demographics and consumer tastes, which can affect the success of consumer products.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund's exposure may not be consistent with the Index. For example, the Fund may not have exposure to all of the securities in the Index, its weighting of securities may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the automobiles & components, consumer services and retailing industry groups.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Automobiles & Components Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: cyclicality of revenues and earnings; labor relations and fluctuating component prices; significant capital expenditures in automotive technologies; and adverse effects from governmental policies, such as taxes, tariffs, duties, subsidies, and import and export restrictions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Consumer Services Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: prices and profitability affected by the domestic and international economy, interest rates, competition and consumer confidence; heavy dependence on disposable household income and consumer spending.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Retailing Industry Risk** — Companies in this sector may experience: changes in domestic and international economies, consumer confidence, disposable household income and spending, consumer preferences, and competition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Investment Results**

The bar chart below shows how the Fund's investment results have varied from year to year, and the table shows how the Fund's average annual total returns for various periods compare with different broad measures of market performance. This information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund's performance information reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. It does

**Management**

The Fund is advised by ProFund Advisors. Michael Neches, Senior Portfolio Manager, and Tarak Davé, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since October 2013 and March 2018, respectively.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares**

Shares are available for purchase by insurance company separate accounts to serve as an investment medium for variable insurance contracts, and by qualified pension and retirement plans, certain insurance companies, and ProFund Advisors. Investors do not contact the Fund directly to purchase or redeem shares. Please refer to the prospectus of the relevant separate account for information on the allocation of premiums and on transfers of accumulated value among sub-accounts of the separate accounts that invest in the Fund.

**Tax Information**

The Fund normally distributes its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. If you are a holder of a contract or policy that invests in the Fund through an insurance company separate account, then these distributions will generally not be taxable to you; please consult the prospectus or other information provided to you by the insurance company regarding the tax consequences of your contract or policy. If you are a holder of such a contract or policy, or if you are investing through a pension or retirement plan that is a tax-advantaged arrangement, you may be taxed later upon distributions with respect to or from those contracts or arrangements. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

**Payments to Insurance Companies and Other Financial Intermediaries**

The Fund or its distributor (and related companies) may pay insurance companies, which in turn may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks and insurance companies, or their related companies) for the sale and retention of variable contracts and/or policies which offer Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest for a financial intermediary selling such variable contracts and/or policies, or may be a factor in the insurance company's decision to include the Fund as an investment option in its variable contract or policy. For more information, ask your financial advisor, visit your financial intermediary's website or consult the prospectus for the contract or policy.

**ProFund VP Consumer Staples :: 33**

**Investment Objective**

ProFund VP Consumer Staples (the "Fund") seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the performance of the S&P Consumer Staples Select Sector Index (the "Index").

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. The expenses shown do not reflect charges or fees associated with insurance company separate accounts or insurance contracts, which would have the effect of increasing overall expenses. Annuity and policy holders should consult the prospectus for their contract or policy for more information about such charges and fees.

The "Recoupment" line shows gross recoupment payments made by the Fund during its most recent fiscal year. In addition, at times during the fiscal year amounts were waived or reimbursed to the Fund - the gross amount of this waiver/reimbursement is shown separately in the "Fee Waivers/Reimbursements" line. The recoupment shown did not cause the Fund's expenses to exceed any expense limitation in place at the time of recoupment or the time the recouped amounts were originally waived/reimbursed.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board. Amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular contractual period may be recouped by ProFund Advisors within three years subject to certain limitations.

**Example:** This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. It does not reflect separate account or insurance contract fees or charges. If these charges were reflected, expenses would

be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 361% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund invests in securities that ProFund Advisors believes, in combination, should track the performance of the Index.

The Index is designed to measure the performance of consumer staples companies included in the S&P 500 Index. The S&P 500 Index is designed to measure the performance of 500 of the largest companies listed and domiciled in the U.S. The Index includes consumer staples companies in the following industries according to the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS): consumer staples distribution & retail; beverages; food products; tobacco; household products; and personal care products.

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.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Consumer Staples Industry Risk** — The risks of investments in the industry include: governmental regulation affecting the permissibility of using various food additives and production methods that could affect profitability; new laws or litigation that may adversely affect tobacco companies; fads, marketing campaigns and other factors affecting supply and demand that may strongly affect securities prices and profitability of food, soft drink and fashion related products; and international events that may affect food and beverage companies that derive a substantial portion of their net income from foreign countries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events.

As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the food, beverage & tobacco, food & staples retailing and household & personal products, industry groups.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Food, Beverage and Tobacco Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: changes in demand for products, demographic and product trends and general economic conditions; effects of competitive pricing, environmental factors, marketing campaigns and consumer boycotts; and adverse effects from governmental regulation and oversight.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Food and Staples Retailing Industry Risk** — The food and staples industry is highly competitive and companies in this industry can be significantly affected by demographic and product trends, competitive pricing, fads, marketing campaigns, environmental factors, government regulation, new laws or litigation that may affect consumer preferences, nutritional and health concerns, federal, state and local food inspection and processing controls, consumer product liability claims, possible product tampering and the availability/expense of liability insurance. These and other factors may affect supply and demand.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Household and Personal Products Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: increased emphasis on the delivery of health care through outpatient services, limited product lines, increase costs for research and development, and new market developments and regulatory changes in the health care industry.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers. This may increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board. Amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular contractual period may be recouped by ProFund Advisors within three years subject to certain limitations.

**Example:** This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year.

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund

Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

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 some of the largest U.S. companies. The Index includes 30 of the largest companies except those in the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) transportation industry group and utilities sectors. Companies may be included in the Index if the Index provider believes that the company has an excellent reputation, demonstrates sustained growth and is of interest to a large number of investors. The 30 companies selected are then weighted based on their price. Companies may be added or removed from the Index at any time. 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 "DJI."

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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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 and futures contracts) in order to gain exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Futures Contracts** — Standardized contracts that obligate the parties to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price and date in the future.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Money Market Instruments** — The Fund expects that any cash balances maintained in connection with its use of

------

**ProFund VP Dow 30 :: 37**

derivatives will typically be held in high quality, short-term money market instruments, for example:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Derivatives Risk** — Investing in derivatives to obtain exposure may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. To the extent the Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, the Fund will be subject to the risks of that ETF including the risk that the ETF may not meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund may be subject to greater correlation risk since the performance of the ETF may not correlate to the performance of the Index. Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund's return.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Counterparty Risk** — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations. With respect to swap agreements, the terms of the agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund, including intraday (for example, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund's net assets). If an agreement is terminated, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to

day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Money Market Instruments Risk** — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund's exposure may not be consistent with the Index. For example, the Fund may not have exposure to all of the securities in the Index, its weighting of securities may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the financials and information technology industry groups.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Financials Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: extensive governmental regulation and/or nationalization that affects the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain; adverse effects from increases in interest rates; adverse effects on profitability by loan losses; and severe competition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Information Technology Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: intense competition, obsolescence of existing technology, and changing economic conditions and government regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the

------

**38 :: ProFund VP Dow 30**

Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Investment Results**

The bar chart below shows how the Fund's investment results have varied from year to year, and the table shows how the Fund's average annual total returns for various periods compare with different broad measures of market performance. This information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund's performance information reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. It does not reflect charges and fees associated with a separate account that invests in the Fund or any insurance contract for which it is

an investment option. Charges and fees will reduce returns. Past results are not predictive of future results.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares**

Shares are available for purchase by insurance company separate accounts to serve as an investment medium for variable insurance contracts, and by qualified pension and retirement plans, certain insurance companies, and ProFund Advisors. Investors do not contact the Fund directly to purchase or redeem shares. Please refer to the prospectus of the relevant separate account for information on the allocation of premiums and on transfers of accumulated value among sub-accounts of the separate accounts that invest in the Fund.

**Tax Information**

The Fund normally distributes its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. If you are a holder of a contract or policy that invests in the Fund through an insurance company separate account, then these distributions will generally not be taxable to you; please consult the prospectus or other information provided to you by the insurance company regarding the tax consequences of your contract or policy. If you are a holder of such a contract or policy, or if you are investing

through a pension or retirement plan that is a tax-advantaged arrangement, you may be taxed later upon distributions with respect to or from those contracts or arrangements. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

**Payments to Insurance Companies and Other Financial Intermediaries**

The Fund or its distributor (and related companies) may pay insurance companies, which in turn may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks and insurance companies, or their related companies) for the sale and retention of variable contracts and/or policies which offer Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest for a financial intermediary selling such variable contracts and/or policies, or may be a factor in the insurance company's decision to include the Fund as an investment option in its variable contract or policy. For more information, ask your financial advisor, visit your financial intermediary's website or consult the prospectus for the contract or policy.

**40 :: ProFund VP Emerging Markets**

**Investment Objective**

ProFund VP Emerging Markets (the "Fund") seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the performance of the S&P<sup>®</sup> Emerging 50 ADR Index (USD) (the "Index").

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. The expenses shown do not reflect charges or fees associated with insurance company separate accounts or insurance contracts, which would have the effect of increasing overall expenses. Annuity and policy holders should consult the prospectus for their contract or policy for more information about such charges and fees.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board. Amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular contractual period may be recouped by ProFund Advisors within three years subject to certain limitations.

**Example:** This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. It does not reflect separate account or insurance contract fees or charges. If these charges were reflected, expenses would be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | 1 Year | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years |
| ProFund VP Emerging <br> Markets<br>| $171 | $542 | $938 | $2047 |

---

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 951% of the average value of its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

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 companies domiciled in emerging markets and traded on U.S. exchanges. The Index includes companies that have ADRs, New York Shares, or Global Registered Shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq Stock Market. As of December 31, 2025, the Index included companies from the following countries: Brazil, Chile, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, South Korea, South Africa and Taiwan. The Index selects the top 50 companies based on market capitalization. Selected companies are then weighted based on market capitalization. The Index's composition and assigned weights are reevaluated quarterly 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 "BKTEM."

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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity Securities** — Common stock issued by public companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Depositary Receipts** — The Fund may invest in depositary receipts, which principally include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**American Depositary Receipts (ADRs),** which represent the right to receive securities of foreign issuers deposited in a bank or trust company and are an alternative to purchasing the underlying securities in their national markets and currencies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs),** which are receipts for shares in a foreign-based corporation traded in capital markets around the world.

**ProFund VP Emerging Markets :: 41**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Derivatives Risk** — Investing in derivatives to obtain exposure may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. To the extent the Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, the Fund will be subject to the risks of that ETF including the risk that the ETF may

not meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund may be subject to greater correlation risk since the performance of the ETF may not correlate to the performance of the Index. Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund's return.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Counterparty Risk** — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations. With respect to swap agreements, the terms of the agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund, including intraday (for example, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund's net assets). If an agreement is terminated, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Foreign Investments/Emerging Market Risk** — Exposure to securities of foreign issuers may provide the Fund with increased risk. Foreign investments may be more susceptible to political, social, economic and regional factors than may be the case with U.S. securities. In addition, markets for foreign investments are usually less liquid, more volatile and significantly smaller than markets for U.S. securities, which may affect, among other things, the Fund's ability to purchase or sell foreign investments at appropriate times and prices. Because of differences in settlement times and/or foreign market holidays, transactions in a foreign market may take place one or more days after the necessary exposure to these investments is determined.

Because the Fund's foreign investment exposure may include issuers domiciled in developing or "emerging market" countries, all the aforementioned factors are heightened. Investments in emerging markets are considered speculative.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Foreign Currency Risk** — Investments linked to or denominated in foreign currencies are exposed to additional risk factors versus those investments denominated in U.S. dollars and linked to U.S. investments. The value of an investment linked to or denominated in a foreign currency could change significantly as foreign currencies strengthen or weaken relative to the U.S. dollar.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public

**42 :: ProFund VP Emerging Markets**

health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Money Market Instruments Risk** — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund's exposure may not be consistent with the Index. For example, the Fund may not have exposure to all of the securities in the Index, its weighting of securities may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the banks, retailing and semiconductors & semiconductor equipment industry groups.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Banks Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: extensive governmental regulation and/or nationalization; adverse effects on profitability due to increases in interest rates or loan losses; severe price competition; economic conditions; credit rating downgrades; and increased inter-sector consolidation and competition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Retailing Industry Risk** — Companies in this sector may experience: changes in domestic and international economies, consumer confidence, disposable household income and spending, consumer preferences, and competition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Semiconductors and Semiconductor Equipment Industry Risk** — Companies in this sector may experience: intense competition, wide fluctuations in securities prices due to risks of rapid obsolescence of products, significant research costs, and limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. Companies in this sector may also be affected by risks that affect the broader technology sector.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Geographic Concentration Risk** — Because the Fund focuses its investments in one or more foreign countries, an investment in the Fund may be more volatile than a more geographically diversified fund. The performance of the Fund will be affected by the political, social and economic

conditions in those foreign countries and subject to the related risks. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in China, India and Taiwan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Chinese Investments Risk** — Investments in securities of issuers in China include risks such as, less developed or less efficient trading markets; currency fluctuations or blockage; nationalization of assets; limits on repatriation; institution of tariffs or other trade barriers; uncertainty surrounding trading suspensions; and a lack of publicly available information China is an emerging market and demonstrates significantly higher volatility from time to time in comparison to developed markets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Indian Investments Risk** — Investments in securities of issuers in India include risks such as, greater government control over the economy, including the risk that the Indian government may decide not to continue to support economic reform programs, political and legal uncertainty, competition from low-cost issuers of other emerging economies, institution of tariffs or other trade barriers, currency fluctuations or blockage of foreign currency exchanges and the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets. India has been prone to natural disasters, such as earthquakes and tsunamis which could have a significant negative impact on its economy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Taiwanese Investments Risk** — Investments in securities of issuers in Taiwan are subject to risks, including, but not limited to, legal, regulatory, political, currency and economic risks that are specific to Taiwan. Specifically, Taiwan's geographic proximity and history of political contention with China have resulted in ongoing tensions between the two countries, which may materially affect the Taiwanese companies. Investments in securities of Taiwanese companies are subject to Taiwan's heavy dependence on exports. Reductions in spending on Taiwanese products and services, labor shortages, institution of tariffs or other trade barriers, or a downturn in any of the economies of Taiwan's key trading partners, including the United States, may have an adverse impact on the Taiwanese economy and the values of Taiwanese companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors.

**ProFund VP Emerging Markets :: 43**

There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error. For an Index with exposure to foreign, and especially emerging markets, there may be heightened risks associated with the adequacy and reliability of the information used to calculate the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

The "Recoupment" line shows gross recoupment payments made by the Fund during its most recent fiscal year. In addition, at times during the fiscal year amounts were waived or reimbursed to the Fund - the gross amount of this waiver/reimbursement is shown separately in the "Fee Waivers/Reimbursements" line. The recoupment shown did not cause the Fund's expenses to exceed any expense limitation in place at the time of recoupment or the time the recouped amounts were originally waived/reimbursed.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board. Amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular contractual period may be recouped by ProFund Advisors within three years subject to certain limitations.

**Example:** This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. It does not reflect separate account or insurance contract

fees or charges. If these charges were reflected, expenses would be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 1,360% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund invests in securities that ProFund Advisors believes, in combination, should track the performance of the Index.

The Index is designed to measure the performance of energy companies included in the S&P 500 Index. The S&P 500 Index is designed to measure the performance of 500 of the largest companies listed and domiciled in the U.S. The Index includes energy companies in the following industries according to the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS): energy equipment & services and oil, gas & consumable fuels. These companies are then weighted based on market capitalization. The Index's composition and the assigned weights are reevaluated every September with additional weight adjustments in March, June, 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 "IXE."

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 securities listed below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity Securities** — Common stock issued by public companies.

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

------

**46 :: ProFund VP Energy**

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.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Energy Industry Risk** — The risks of investments in the industry include: adverse effects on profitability from changes in worldwide energy prices and exploration, and production spending; adverse effects from changes in exchange rates, government regulation, world events, international conflicts or threat of conflicts and economic conditions; market, economic and political risks of the countries where energy companies are located or do business; the fact that the value of regulated utility debt instruments (and, to a lesser extent, equity securities) tends to have an inverse relationship to the movement of interest rates; and risk for environmental damage claims. The energy industry has recently experienced significant volatility due to dramatic changes in the prices of energy commodities, and it is possible that such volatility will continue in the future.

On February 24, 2022, Russia commenced a military attack on Ukraine. The outbreak of hostilities between the two countries could result in more widespread conflict and could have a severe adverse effect on the region and the markets for securities and commodities, including oil. In addition, sanctions imposed on Russia by the United States and other countries, and any sanctions imposed in the future could have a significant adverse impact on the Russian economy and related markets. How long such conflict and related events will last and whether it will escalate further cannot be predicted. Impacts from the conflict and related events could have a significant impact on the Fund's performance, and the value of an investment in the Fund may decline significantly. Additionally, the possibility of a continued and prolonged conflict between Hamas and Israel, and the potential expansion of the conflict in the surrounding areas and the involvement of other nations in such conflict, could further destabilize the Middle East region and introduce new uncertainties in global markets, including the crude oil markets. This may increase or decrease volatility of the Funds' shares.

The U.S. and Israel military action against Iran that began in February 2026 and Iran's responses thereto, including attacks on marine vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, and the U.S. military operation in Venezuela could result in more widespread conflict and could have a severe adverse affect on the regions and/or the world and the markets for securities and commodities, including oil and natural gas. How long these conflicts and related events will last and whether it will escalate further cannot be predicted. Impacts from this conflict and related events could have significant impact on a

Fund's performance, and the value of an investment in a Fund may decline significantly.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund's exposure may not be consistent with the Index. For example, the Fund may not have exposure to all of the securities in the Index, its weighting of securities may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the energy industry group.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers. This may increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from

------

**ProFund VP Energy :: 47**

current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Investment Results**

The bar chart below shows how the Fund's investment results have varied from year to year, and the table shows how the Fund's average annual total returns for various periods compare with different broad measures of market performance. This information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund's performance information reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. It does not reflect charges and fees associated with a separate account that invests in the Fund or any insurance contract for which it is an investment option. Charges and fees will reduce returns. Past results are not predictive of future results.

**Management**

The Fund is advised by ProFund Advisors. Michael Neches, Senior Portfolio Manager, and Tarak Davé, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since October 2013 and March 2018, respectively.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares**

Shares are available for purchase by insurance company separate accounts to serve as an investment medium for variable insurance contracts, and by qualified pension and retirement plans, certain insurance companies, and ProFund Advisors. Investors do not contact the Fund directly to purchase or redeem shares. Please refer to the prospectus of the relevant separate account for information on the allocation of premiums and on transfers of accumulated value among sub-accounts of the separate accounts that invest in the Fund.

**Tax Information**

The Fund normally distributes its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. If you are a holder of a contract or policy that invests in the Fund through an insurance company separate account, then these distributions will generally not be taxable to you; please consult the prospectus or other information provided to you by the insurance company regarding the tax consequences of your contract or policy. If you are a holder of such a contract or policy, or if you are investing through a pension or retirement plan that is a tax-advantaged arrangement, you may be taxed later upon distributions with respect to or from those contracts or arrangements. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

**Payments to Insurance Companies and Other Financial Intermediaries**

The Fund or its distributor (and related companies) may pay insurance companies, which in turn may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks and insurance companies, or their related companies) for the sale and retention of variable contracts and/or policies which offer Fund shares.

These payments may create a conflict of interest for a financial intermediary selling such variable contracts and/or policies, or may be a factor in the insurance company's decision to include the Fund as an investment option in its variable contract or policy. For more information, ask your financial advisor, visit your financial intermediary's website or consult the prospectus for the contract or policy.

**ProFund VP Europe 30 :: 49**

**Investment Objective**

ProFund VP Europe 30 (the "Fund") seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the performance of the ProFunds Europe 30 Index (the "Index").

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. The expenses shown do not reflect charges or fees associated with insurance company separate accounts or insurance contracts, which would have the effect of increasing overall expenses. Annuity and policy holders should consult the prospectus for their contract or policy for more information about such charges and fees.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board.

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund invests in securities that ProFund Advisors believes, in combination, should track the performance of the Index.

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 securities listed below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity Securities** — Common stock issued by public companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Depositary Receipts** — The Fund may invest in depositary receipts, which principally include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**American Depositary Receipts (ADRs),** which represent the right to receive securities of foreign issuers deposited in a bank or trust company and are an alternative to purchasing the underlying securities in their national markets and currencies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs),** which are receipts for shares in a foreign-based corporation traded in capital markets around the world.

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.

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.

The Index is created and sponsored by ProFund Advisors and is licensed for use by ProFunds.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**European Investments Risk** — Many countries are members of the European Union (the "EU") and all European countries may be significantly affected by EU policies and may be highly dependent on the economies of their fellow members. The European financial markets have experienced significant volatility and several European countries have been adversely affected by unemployment, budget deficits and economic downturns. In addition, several European countries (including the United Kingdom) have experienced credit rating downgrades, rising government debt levels and, for certain European countries (including Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Italy), weaknesses in sovereign debt. These events, along with decreasing imports or exports, changes in governmental or EU regulations on trade, institution of tariffs or other trade barriers, the default or threat of default by a European country on its sovereign debt, an economic recession in a European country, or the threat of a European country to leave the EU may have a significant adverse effect on the affected European country, issuers in the affected European country, the economies of other European countries, or their trading partners. Such events, or even the threat of these events, may cause the value of securities issued by issuers in such European countries to fall, in some cases drastically. These events may also cause further volatility in the European financial markets. To the extent that the Fund's assets are exposed to investments from issuers in European countries or denominated in euro, their trading partners, or other European countries, these events may negatively impact the performance of the Fund.

On February 24, 2022, Russia commenced a military attack on Ukraine. The military incursion has led to, and may lead to additional sanctions being levied by the United States, European Union, United Kingdom and other countries against Russia. Russia's military incursion and the resulting sanctions and other rapidly evolving measures in response could adversely affect global energy and financial markets and thus could affect the value of the Fund's investments. The severity, extent and duration of the military conflict, sanctions and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could have a material adverse effect on the European region and beyond, including significant negative impacts on the economy and the markets for certain securities and commodities, such as oil and natural gas. How long such

tensions and related events will last cannot be predicted. These tensions and any related events could have significant impact on the Fund's performance and the value of an investment in the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Foreign Investments Risk** — Exposure to securities of foreign issuers may provide the Fund with increased risk. Foreign investments may be more susceptible to political, social, economic and regional factors than may be the case with U.S. securities. In addition, markets for foreign investments are usually less liquid, more volatile and significantly smaller than markets for U.S. securities, which may affect, among other things, the Fund's ability to purchase or sell foreign investments at appropriate times and prices. Because of differences in settlement times and/or foreign market holidays, transactions in a foreign market may take place one or more days after the necessary exposure to these investments is determined.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Foreign Currency Risk** — Investments linked to or denominated in foreign currencies are exposed to additional risk factors versus those investments denominated in U.S. dollars and linked to U.S. investments. The value of an investment linked to or denominated in a foreign currency could change significantly as foreign currencies strengthen or weaken relative to the U.S. dollar.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund's exposure may not be consistent with the Index. For example, the Fund may not have exposure to all of the securities in the Index, its weighting of securities may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to

------

**ProFund VP Europe 30 :: 51**

approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the health care and information technology industry groups.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Health Care Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: heavy dependence on patent protection; litigation and product liability expense; the long and costly process for obtaining new product approval by the Food and Drug Administration; and product obsolescence.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Information Technology Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: intense competition, obsolescence of existing technology, and changing economic conditions and government regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Geographic Concentration Risk** — Because the Fund focuses its investments in one or more foreign countries, an investment in the Fund may be more volatile than a more geographically diversified fund. The performance of the Fund will be affected by the political, social and economic conditions in those foreign countries and subject to the related risks. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the United Kingdom.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**United Kingdom Investments Risk** — The United Kingdom has one of the largest economies in Europe, and the United States and other European countries are substantial trading partners. As a result, the British economy may be impacted by the institution of tariffs or other trade barriers as well as changes to the economic condition of the United States and other European countries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Self-Indexing Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is sponsored by ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these

circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

**ProFund VP Falling U.S. Dollar :: 53**

**Investment Objective**

ProFund VP Falling U.S. Dollar (the "Fund") seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the daily performance of the basket of non-U.S. currencies included in the ICE<sup>®</sup> U.S. Dollar Index<sup>®</sup> (the "Index"). The Index measures the value of the U.S. Dollar against a basket of currencies of the top six trading partners of the United States, as measured in 1973 (the "Benchmark"). These currencies and their weightings as of December 31, 2025 are: euro 57.6%; Japanese yen 13.6%; British pound 11.9%; Canadian dollar 9.1%; Swedish krona 4.2% and Swiss franc 3.6%. The Fund is designed to benefit from a decline in the value of the U.S. Dollar against the value of the currencies included in the Benchmark. Accordingly, as the value of the U.S. Dollar depreciates (i.e., "falls") versus the Benchmark, the performance of the Fund generally should be expected to increase. As the value of the U.S. Dollar appreciates versus the Benchmark, the performance of the Fund generally should be expected to decline.

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. The expenses shown do not reflect charges or fees associated with insurance company separate accounts or insurance contracts, which would have the effect of increasing overall expenses. Annuity and policy holders should consult the prospectus for their contract or policy for more information about such charges and fees.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board. Amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular contractual period may be recouped by ProFund Advisors within three years subject to certain limitations.

**Example:** This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/

expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. It does not reflect separate account or insurance contract fees or charges. If these charges were reflected, expenses would be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

---

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

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 value of the U.S. Dollar against a basket of currencies of six trading partners of the United States as measured in 1973. The currencies are weighted against the U.S. Dollar as follows: the euro is 57.6%, the Japanese yen is 13.6%, the British pound is 11.9%, the Canadian dollar is 9.1%, the Sweden krona is 4.2%, and the Swiss franc is 3.6%. The Index is constructed and maintained by ICE Data Indices, LLC. More information about the Index can be found using the Bloomberg ticker symbol "DXY."

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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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. forward contracts) in order to gain exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Forward Contracts** — Two-party contracts where a purchase or sale of a specific quantity of a commodity, security, foreign currency or other financial instrument

------

**54 :: ProFund VP Falling U.S. Dollar**

is entered into with dealers or financial institutions at a set price, with delivery and settlement at a specified future date. Forward contracts may also be structured for cash settlement, rather than physical delivery.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Derivatives Risk** — Investing in derivatives to obtain exposure may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund's return.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Counterparty Risk** — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Market Risk** — The Fund is subject to market risks that will affect the value of its shares, including adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market or economic developments, as well as developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Foreign Currency Risk** — Investments linked to or denominated in foreign currencies are exposed to additional risk factors versus those investments denominated in U.S. dollars and linked to U.S. investments. The value of an investment linked to or denominated in a foreign currency

could change significantly as foreign currencies strengthen or weaken relative to the U.S. dollar. Devaluations of a currency by a government or banking authority may also have significant impact on the value of any investments linked to or denominated in that currency. Risks related to foreign currencies also include those related to economic or political developments, market inefficiencies or a higher risk that essential investment information may be incomplete, unavailable, or inaccurate. Foreign currency losses could offset or exceed any potential gains, or add to losses, in the related investments. Currency markets are also generally not as regulated as securities markets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Money Market Instruments Risk** — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund's exposure may not be consistent with the Index. For example, the Fund may not have exposure to all of the instruments in the Index, its weighting of instruments may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Geographic Concentration Risk** — Because the Fund focuses its investments in one or more foreign countries, an investment in the Fund may be more volatile than a more geographically diversified fund. The performance of the Fund will be affected by the political, social and economic conditions in those foreign countries and subject to the related risks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from

------

**ProFund VP Falling U.S. Dollar :: 55**

current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Investment Results**

The bar chart below shows how the Fund's investment results have varied from year to year, and the table shows how the Fund's average annual total returns for various periods compare with different broad measures of market performance. This information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund's performance information reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. It does not reflect charges and fees associated with a separate account that invests in the Fund or any insurance contract for which it is an investment option. Charges and fees will reduce returns. Past results are not predictive of future results.

**Management**

The Fund is advised by ProFund Advisors. Alexander Ilyasov, Senior Portfolio Manager, and James Linneman, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since April 2019 and March 2022, respectively.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares**

Shares are available for purchase by insurance company separate accounts to serve as an investment medium for variable insurance contracts, and by qualified pension and retirement plans, certain insurance companies, and ProFund Advisors. Investors do not contact the Fund directly to purchase or redeem shares. Please refer to the prospectus of the relevant separate account for information on the allocation of premiums and on transfers of accumulated value among sub-accounts of the separate accounts that invest in the Fund.

**Tax Information**

The Fund normally distributes its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. If you are a holder of a contract or policy that invests in the Fund through an insurance company separate account, then these distributions will generally not be taxable to you; please consult the prospectus or other information provided to you by the insurance company regarding the tax consequences of your contract or policy. If you are a holder of such a contract or policy, or if you are investing through a pension or retirement plan that is a tax-advantaged arrangement, you may be taxed later upon distributions with respect to or from those contracts or arrangements. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

**Payments to Insurance Companies and Other Financial Intermediaries**

The Fund or its distributor (and related companies) may pay insurance companies, which in turn may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks and insurance companies, or their related companies) for the sale and retention of variable contracts and/or policies which offer Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest for a financial intermediary selling such variable contracts and/or policies, or may be a factor in the insurance company's decision to include the Fund as an investment option in its variable contract or policy. For more information, ask your financial advisor, visit your financial intermediary's website or consult the prospectus for the contract or policy.

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. The expenses shown do not reflect charges or fees associated with insurance company separate accounts or insurance contracts, which would have the effect of increasing overall expenses. Annuity and policy holders should consult the prospectus for their contract or policy for more information about such charges and fees.

The "Recoupment" line shows gross recoupment payments made by the Fund during its most recent fiscal year. In addition, at times during the fiscal year amounts were waived or reimbursed to the Fund - the gross amount of this waiver/reimbursement is shown separately in the "Fee Waivers/Reimbursements" line. The recoupment shown did not cause the Fund's expenses to exceed any expense limitation in place at the time of recoupment or the time the recouped amounts were originally waived/reimbursed.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board.

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 436% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund invests in securities that ProFund Advisors believes, in combination, should track the performance of the Index.

The Index is designed to measure the performance of financial companies included in the S&P 500 Index. The S&P 500 Index is designed to measure the performance of 500 of the largest companies listed and domiciled in the U.S. The Index includes financial companies in the following industries according to the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS): banks; financial services; consumer finance; capital markets; mortgage real estate investment trusts ("REITS"); and insurance. These companies are then weighted based on market capitalization. The Index's composition and the assigned weights are reevaluated every September with additional weight adjustments in March, June, 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 "IXM."

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 securities listed below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity Securities** — Common stock issued by public companies.

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

**ProFund VP Financials :: 57**

financial instruments, with the intent of obtaining exposure consistent with the investment objective.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Financials Industry Risk** — The risks of investments in the industry include: extensive governmental regulation and/or nationalization that affects the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital and liquid assets they must maintain; adverse effects from increases in interest rates; adverse effects on profitability by loan losses, which usually increase in economic downturns; the severe competition to which banks, insurance, and financial services companies may be subject; increased inter-sector consolidation and competition in the financials industry; and volatility in the financial markets and changes in domestic and foreign monetary policy; credit rating downgrades; adverse public perception; exposure concentration and decreased liquidity in credit markets; counterparty risk arising from issuers that serve as counterparties in derivatives or similar contractual arrangements. The impact of more stringent capital requirements, recent or future regulation on any individual financial company or recent or future regulation on the financials industry as a whole cannot be predicted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund's exposure may not be consistent with the Index. For example, the Fund may not have exposure to all of the securities in the Index, its weighting of securities may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or

group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the banks and diversified financials industry groups.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Banks Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: extensive governmental regulation and/or nationalization; adverse effects on profitability due to increases in interest rates or loan losses; severe price competition; economic conditions; credit rating downgrades; and increased inter-sector consolidation and competition. There can be no certainty that the actions taken by the U.S. government to strengthen public confidence in the U.S. banking system will be effective in mitigating the effects of financial institution failures on the economy and restoring public confidence in the U.S. banking system. Additional bank or financial institution failures may occur in the near term that may limit access to short term liquidity or have adverse impacts to the economy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Diversified Financials Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may be affected by: changes in credit ratings, interest rates, loan losses, the performance of credit and financial markets and the availability and cost of capital funds; and adverse effects from governmental regulation and oversight.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers. This may increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 511% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund invests in securities that ProFund Advisors believes, in combination, should track the performance of the Index.

The Index is designed to measure the performance of health care companies included in the S&P 500 Index. The S&P 500 Index is designed to measure the performance of 500 of the largest companies listed and domiciled in the U.S. The Index includes health care companies in the following industries according to the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS): health care equipment & supplies, health care providers & services; health care technology; biotechnology; pharmaceuticals; and life sciences tools & services. These companies are then weighted based on market capitalization. The Index's composition and the assigned weights are reevaluated every September with additional weight adjustments in March, June, 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 "IXV."

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 securities listed below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity Securities** — Common stock issued by public companies.

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.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Health Care Industry Risk** — The risks of investments in the industry include: heavy dependence on patent protection, with profitability affected by the expiration of patents; expenses and losses from extensive litigation based on product liability and similar claims; competitive forces that may make it difficult to raise prices and, in fact, may result in price discounting; the long and costly process for obtaining new product approval by the Food and Drug Administration; the difficulty health care providers may have obtaining staff to deliver service; susceptibility to product obsolescence; and thin capitalization and limited product lines, markets and financial resources or personnel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund's exposure may not be consistent with the Index. For example, the Fund may not have exposure to all of the securities in the Index, its weighting of securities may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the health care equipment & services and

pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry groups.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Health Care Equipment and Services Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: increased emphasis on the delivery of health care through outpatient services, limited product lines, increase costs for research and development, and new market developments and regulatory changes in the health care industry.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Pharmaceuticals, Biotechnology, and Life Sciences Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: heavy dependence on patents and intellectual property rights; risks of new technologies and competitive pressures; large expenditures on research and development of products or services; regulations and restrictions imposed by the Food and Drug Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, state and local governments, and foreign regulatory authorities; and thin capitalization and limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers. This may increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Investment Results**

The bar chart below shows how the Fund's investment results have varied from year to year, and the table shows how the Fund's average annual total returns for various periods compare

with different broad measures of market performance. This information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund's performance information reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. It does not reflect charges and fees associated with a separate account that invests in the Fund or any insurance contract for which it is an investment option. Charges and fees will reduce returns. Past results are not predictive of future results.

Reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. Adjusted to reflect the reinvestment of dividends paid by issuers in the Index.

**Management**

The Fund is advised by ProFund Advisors. Michael Neches, Senior Portfolio Manager, and Tarak Davé, Portfolio Manager, have

jointly and primarily managed the Fund since October 2013 and March 2018, respectively.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares**

Shares are available for purchase by insurance company separate accounts to serve as an investment medium for variable insurance contracts, and by qualified pension and retirement plans, certain insurance companies, and ProFund Advisors. Investors do not contact the Fund directly to purchase or redeem shares. Please refer to the prospectus of the relevant separate account for information on the allocation of premiums and on transfers of accumulated value among sub-accounts of the separate accounts that invest in the Fund.

**Tax Information**

The Fund normally distributes its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. If you are a holder of a contract or policy that invests in the Fund through an insurance company separate account, then these distributions will generally not be taxable to you; please consult the prospectus or other information provided to you by the insurance company regarding the tax consequences of your contract or policy. If you are a holder of such a contract or policy, or if you are investing through a pension or retirement plan that is a tax-advantaged arrangement, you may be taxed later upon distributions with respect to or from those contracts or arrangements. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

**Payments to Insurance Companies and Other Financial Intermediaries**

The Fund or its distributor (and related companies) may pay insurance companies, which in turn may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks and insurance companies, or their related companies) for the sale and retention of variable contracts and/or policies which offer Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest for a financial intermediary selling such variable contracts and/or policies, or may be a factor in the insurance company's decision to include the Fund as an investment option in its variable contract or policy. For more information, ask your financial advisor, visit your financial intermediary's website or consult the prospectus for the contract or policy.

**Investment Objective**

ProFund VP Industrials (the "Fund") seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the performance of the S&P Industrial Select Sector Index (the "Index").

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. The expenses shown do not reflect charges or fees associated with insurance company separate accounts or insurance contracts, which would have the effect of increasing overall expenses. Annuity and policy holders should consult the prospectus for their contract or policy for more information about such charges and fees.

The "Recoupment" line shows gross recoupment payments made by the Fund during its most recent fiscal year. In addition, at times during the fiscal year amounts were waived or reimbursed to the Fund - the gross amount of this waiver/reimbursement is shown separately in the "Fee Waivers/Reimbursements" line. The recoupment shown did not cause the Fund's expenses to exceed any expense limitation in place at the time of recoupment or the time the recouped amounts were originally waived/reimbursed.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board. Amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular contractual period may be recouped by ProFund Advisors within three years subject to certain limitations.

**Example:** This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. It does not reflect separate account or insurance contract fees or charges. If these charges were reflected, expenses would

be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 279% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund invests in securities that ProFund Advisors believes, in combination, should track the performance of the Index.

The Index is designed to measure the performance of industrial companies included in the S&P 500 Index. The S&P 500 Index is designed to measure the performance of 500 of the largest companies listed and domiciled in the U.S. The Index includes industrial companies in the following industries according to the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS): aerospace & defense; building products; construction & engineering; electrical equipment; industrials conglomerates; machinery; trading companies & distributors; commercial services & supplies; professional services; air freight & logistics; passenger airlines; marine transportation; ground transportation; and transportation infrastructure. These companies are then weighted based on market capitalization.

**Investment Objective**

ProFund VP International (the "Fund") seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the performance of the MSCI EAFE Index (the "Index").

The Fund determines its success in meeting this investment objective by comparing its daily return on a given day with the daily performance of MSCI EAFE futures contracts traded in the United States.

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The "Recoupment" line shows gross recoupment payments made by the Fund during its most recent fiscal year. In addition, at times during the fiscal year amounts were waived or reimbursed to the Fund - the gross amount of this waiver/reimbursement is shown separately in the "Fee Waivers/Reimbursements" line. The recoupment shown did not cause the Fund's expenses to exceed any expense limitation in place at the time of recoupment or the time the recouped amounts were originally waived/reimbursed.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board. Amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular contractual period may be recouped by ProFund Advisors within three years subject to certain limitations.

**Example:** This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. It does not reflect separate account or insurance contract

fees or charges. If these charges were reflected, expenses would be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

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 large and mid-capitalization companies across 21 developed market countries around the world, excluding the U.S. and Canada. As of December 31, 2025, the Index included companies from the following countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. The Index seeks to include 85% of the market capitalization across those countries and selects companies based on their market capitalization and liquidity. These companies are then weighted based on market capitalization. The Index's composition and assigned weights are reevaluated semi-annually in May and November with a more limited reevaluation occurring in February and August. The Index is constructed and maintained by MSCI Inc. More information about the Index can be found using the Bloomberg ticker symbol "MXEA."

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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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

------

**66 :: ProFund VP International**

Fund invests in derivatives (e.g. swap agreements and futures contracts) in order to gain exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Futures Contracts** — Standardized contracts that obligate the parties to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price and date in the future.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Derivatives Risk** — Investing in derivatives to obtain exposure may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. To the extent the Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, the Fund will be subject to the risks of that ETF including the risk that the ETF may

not meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund may be subject to greater correlation risk since the performance of the ETF may not correlate to the performance of the Index. Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund's return.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Counterparty Risk** — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations. With respect to swap agreements, the terms of the agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund, including intraday (for example, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund's net assets). If an agreement is terminated, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Foreign Investments Risk** — Exposure to securities of foreign issuers may provide the Fund with increased risk. Foreign investments may be more susceptible to political, social, economic and regional factors than may be the case with U.S. securities. In addition, markets for foreign investments are usually less liquid, more volatile and significantly smaller than markets for U.S. securities, which may affect, among other things, the Fund's ability to purchase or sell foreign investments at appropriate times and prices. Because of differences in settlement times and/or foreign market holidays, transactions in a foreign market may take place one or more days after the necessary exposure to these investments is determined.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Foreign Currency Risk** — Investments linked to or denominated in foreign currencies are exposed to additional risk factors versus those investments denominated in U.S. dollars and linked to U.S. investments. The value of an investment linked to or denominated in a foreign currency could change significantly as foreign currencies strengthen or weaken relative to the U.S. dollar.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Money Market Instruments Risk** — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market

------

**ProFund VP International :: 67**

instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund's exposure may not be consistent with the Index. For example, the Fund may not have exposure to all of the securities in the Index, its weighting of securities may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the financials and industrials industry groups.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Financials Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: extensive governmental regulation and/or nationalization that affects the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain; adverse effects from increases in interest rates; adverse effects on profitability by loan losses; and severe competition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Industrials Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: adverse effects on stock prices by supply and demand both for their specific product or service and for industrials industry products in general; declining demand; and changing government regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Geographic Concentration Risk** — Because the Fund focuses its investments in one or more foreign countries, an investment in the Fund may be more volatile than a more geographically diversified fund. The performance of the Fund will be affected by the political, social and economic conditions in those foreign countries and subject to the related risks. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in Japan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Japanese Investments Risk** — Investments in Japan are subject to risks including, but not limited to political, economic, or social instability in Japan; risks associated with Japan's large government deficit; the prevalence and likelihood of natural disasters in Japan; and heavy dependence on international trade and reliant on imports for its commodity needs. Because of its trade

dependence, the Japanese economy is particularly exposed to the risks of currency fluctuation, foreign trade policy and regional and global economic disruption, including the risk of increased tariffs, embargoes, and other trade limitations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Valuation Time Risk** — Due to differences in trading hours between U.S. and foreign markets and because the level of the Index may be determined using prices obtained at times other than the Fund's net asset value ("NAV") calculation time, the percentage change of the Fund's NAV per share each day may differ, perhaps significantly, from the Daily Target. This is due primarily to the time difference in determining the level of the Index (11:30 a.m., Eastern Time) and valuation of the Fund (4:00 p.m., Eastern Time). As such, correlation to the Index will generally be measured by comparing the daily change in the Fund's NAV per share to the performance of one or more U.S. exchange-traded securities or financial instruments that reflect the values of the securities underlying the Index as of the Fund's NAV calculation time. In addition, in certain cases, the Fund's portfolio investments trade in markets on days and at times when the Fund is not open for

**68 :: ProFund VP International**

business. As a result, the value of the Fund may change, perhaps significantly, on days and at times when shareholders are unable to purchase, redeem, or exchange shares.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Investment Results**

The bar chart below shows how the Fund's investment results have varied from year to year, and the table shows how the Fund's average annual total returns for various periods compare with a broad measure of market performance. This information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund's performance information reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. It does not reflect charges and fees associated with a separate account that invests in the Fund or any insurance contract for which it is an investment option. Charges and fees will reduce returns. Past results are not predictive of future results.

Reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. Returns are gross returns that do not reflect the reduction of any

withholding taxes, and are adjusted to reflect the reinvestment of dividends paid by companies in the Index.

**Management**

The Fund is advised by ProFund Advisors. Alexander Ilyasov, Senior Portfolio Manager, and Eric Silverthorne, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since August 2020 and March 2023, respectively.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares**

Shares are available for purchase by insurance company separate accounts to serve as an investment medium for variable insurance contracts, and by qualified pension and retirement plans, certain insurance companies, and ProFund Advisors. Investors do not contact the Fund directly to purchase or redeem shares. Please refer to the prospectus of the relevant separate account for information on the allocation of premiums and on transfers of accumulated value among sub-accounts of the separate accounts that invest in the Fund.

**Tax Information**

The Fund normally distributes its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. If you are a holder of a contract or policy that invests in the Fund through an insurance company separate account, then these distributions will generally not be taxable to you; please consult the prospectus or other information provided to you by the insurance company regarding the tax consequences of your contract or policy. If you are a holder of such a contract or policy, or if you are investing through a pension or retirement plan that is a tax-advantaged arrangement, you may be taxed later upon distributions with respect to or from those contracts or arrangements. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

**Payments to Insurance Companies and Other Financial Intermediaries**

The Fund or its distributor (and related companies) may pay insurance companies, which in turn may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks and insurance companies, or their related companies) for the sale and retention of variable contracts and/or policies which offer Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest for a financial intermediary selling such variable contracts and/or policies, or may be a factor in the insurance company's decision to include the Fund as an investment option in its variable contract or policy. For more information, ask your financial advisor, visit your financial intermediary's website or consult the prospectus for the contract or policy.

**ProFund VP Internet :: 69**

**Investment Objective**

ProFund VP Internet (the "Fund") seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the performance of the Dow Jones Internet Composite<sup>SM</sup> Index (the "Index").

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. The expenses shown do not reflect charges or fees associated with insurance company separate accounts or insurance contracts, which would have the effect of increasing overall expenses. Annuity and policy holders should consult the prospectus for their contract or policy for more information about such charges and fees.

The "Recoupment" line shows gross recoupment payments made by the Fund during its most recent fiscal year. In addition, at times during the fiscal year amounts were waived or reimbursed to the Fund - the gross amount of this waiver/reimbursement is shown separately in the "Fee Waivers/Reimbursements" line. The recoupment shown did not cause the Fund's expenses to exceed any expense limitation in place at the time of recoupment or the time the recouped amounts were originally waived/reimbursed.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board. Amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular contractual period may be recouped by ProFund Advisors within three years subject to certain limitations.

**Example:** This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. It does not reflect separate account or insurance contract

fees or charges. If these charges were reflected, expenses would be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

|  | 1 Year | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years |
| ProFund VP Internet | $171 | $536 | $925 | $2017 |

---

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 47% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund invests in securities that ProFund Advisors believes, in combination, should track the performance of the Index.

The Index is designed to measure the performance of the 40 largest and most actively traded stocks of U.S. companies in the internet industry. The Index is comprised of two sub-indexes, the Dow Jones Internet Commerce Index which measures the performance of stocks from the internet commerce sector and the Dow Jones Internet Services Index which measures the performance of companies from the internet services sector.

Companies in the internet commerce sector must derive the majority of their sales or revenue from online retail, search, financial services, investment products, social media, advertising, travel platforms, internet ratio, blockchain technologies, and cryptocurrency. Companies in the internet services sector must derive the majority of their sales or revenue from various services performed via the internet, cloud computing, enterprise software, networking capabilities, website creation tools, and digital marketing platforms.

The Index selects 15 companies from the internet commerce sector and 25 companies from internet services sector based on market capitalization and liquidity. Selected companies are then weighted based on market capitalization. The Index's 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 "DJINET."

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.

**70 :: ProFund VP Internet**

The Fund will invest principally in the securities listed below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity Securities** — Common stock issued by public companies.

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.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Internet Companies Risk** — Internet companies are subject to rapid changes in technology, worldwide competition, rapid obsolescence of products and services, loss of patent protections, cyclical market patterns, evolving industry standards, frequent new product introductions and the considerable risk of owning small capitalization companies that have recently begun operations. In addition, the stocks of many internet companies have exceptionally high price-to-earnings ratios with little or no earnings histories. Many internet companies have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that often have been unrelated to their operating performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its investment

objective. In addition, the Fund's exposure may not be consistent with the Index. For example, the Fund may not have exposure to all of the securities in the Index, its weighting of securities may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the consumer discretionary, media & entertainment and software & services industry groups.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Consumer Discretionary Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: impact of changing economic conditions, interest rates, competition and consumer confidence; heavy dependence on disposable household income and consumer spending; severe competition; and changes in demographics and consumer tastes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Media and Entertainment Industry Risk** — Companies in this sector may experience: high costs of research and development of new content and services; changing consumer tastes, and changing consumer discretionary income patterns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Software and Services Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: competitive pressures, such as aggressive pricing, technological developments, cyclical market patterns, changing domestic demand, the ability to attract and retain skilled employees, and dependence on intellectual property rights and potential loss or impairment of those rights.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers. This may increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices.

current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

**ProFund VP Japan :: 73**

**Investment Objective**

ProFund VP Japan (the "Fund") seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the performance of the Nikkei 225 Stock Average (the "Index").

The Fund seeks to provide a return consistent with an investment in the component equities in the Index hedged to U.S. dollars. The Fund seeks to provide a return based solely on the local price return of the equity securities in the Index, without any effect from currency movements in the yen versus the U.S. dollar.

The Fund determines its success in meeting this investment objective by comparing its daily return on a given day with the daily performance of the dollar-denominated Nikkei 225 futures contracts traded in the United States.

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. The expenses shown do not reflect charges or fees associated with insurance company separate accounts or insurance contracts, which would have the effect of increasing overall expenses. Annuity and policy holders should consult the prospectus for their contract or policy for more information about such charges and fees.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board.

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

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 225 highly liquid companies listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market. The Index selects 225 highly liquid companies in a manner intended to maintain long-term continuity and to reflect the changes in the industry structure. The 225 companies selected are then weighted based on their price. The Index's composition is reevaluated twice a year in April and October. The Index is constructed and maintained by Nikkei Inc. More information about the Index can be found using the Bloomberg ticker symbol "NKY."

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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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 and futures contracts) in order to gain exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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

------

**74 :: ProFund VP Japan**

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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Futures Contracts** — Standardized contracts that obligate the parties to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price and date in the future.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Derivatives Risk** — Investing in derivatives to obtain exposure may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. To the extent the Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, the Fund will be subject to the risks of that ETF including the risk that the ETF may not meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund may be subject to greater correlation risk since the performance of the ETF may not correlate to the performance of the Index. Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund's return.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Counterparty Risk** — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations. With

respect to swap agreements, the terms of the agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund, including intraday (for example, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund's net assets). If an agreement is terminated, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Japanese Investments Risk** — Investments in Japan are subject to risks including, but not limited to (i) political, economic, or social instability in Japan; (ii) risks associated with Japan's large government deficit; (iii) natural disasters particularly likely to occur in Japan; (iv) risks associated with an increasingly aging and declining population that is likely to strain Japan's social welfare and pension systems; and (v) relatively high unemployment. Since the year 2000, Japan's economic growth rate has remained relatively low. As an island nation, Japan has limited natural resources and land area, and the Japanese economy is heavily dependent on international trade and reliant on imports for its commodity needs. Fluctuations or shortages in the commodity markets may negatively impact the Japanese economy. Slowdowns in the U.S. and/or China and other Southeast Asian countries, including economic, political or social instability in such countries, could have a negative impact on Japan. Because of its trade dependence, the Japanese economy is particularly exposed to the risks of currency fluctuation, foreign trade policy and regional and global economic disruption, including the risk of increased tariffs, embargoes, and other trade limitations. Strained relationships between Japan and its neighboring countries, including China, South Korea and North Korea, based on historical grievances, territorial disputes, and defense concerns, may also inject uncertainty into Japanese markets. As a result, additional tariffs, other trade barriers, or boycotts may have an adverse impact on the Japanese economy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Foreign Investments Risk** — Exposure to securities of foreign issuers may provide the Fund with increased risk.

------

**ProFund VP Japan :: 75**

Foreign investments may be more susceptible to political, social, economic and regional factors than may be the case with U.S. securities. In addition, markets for foreign investments are usually less liquid, more volatile and significantly smaller than markets for U.S. securities, which may affect, among other things, the Fund's ability to purchase or sell foreign investments at appropriate times and prices. Because of differences in settlement times and/or foreign market holidays, transactions in a foreign market may take place one or more days after the necessary exposure to these investments is determined.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Foreign Currency Risk** — Investments linked to or denominated in foreign currencies are exposed to additional risk factors versus those investments denominated in U.S. dollars and linked to U.S. investments. The value of an investment linked to or denominated in a foreign currency could change significantly as foreign currencies strengthen or weaken relative to the U.S. dollar.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Money Market Instruments Risk** — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund's exposure may not be consistent with the Index. For example, the Fund may not have exposure to all of the securities in the Index, its weighting of securities may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the consumer discretionary, industrials and information technology industry groups.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Consumer Discretionary Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: impact of changing economic conditions, interest rates, competition and consumer confidence; heavy dependence on disposable household income and consumer spending; severe competition; and changes in demographics and consumer tastes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Industrials Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: adverse effects on stock prices by supply and demand both for their specific product or service

and for industrials industry products in general; declining demand; and changing government regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Information Technology Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: intense competition, obsolescence of existing technology, and changing economic conditions and government regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Geographic Concentration Risk** — Because the Fund focuses its investments in one or more foreign countries, an investment in the Fund may be more volatile than a more geographically diversified fund. The performance of the Fund will be affected by the political, social and economic conditions in those foreign countries and subject to the related risks. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in Japan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Valuation Time Risk** — Due to differences in trading hours between U.S. and foreign markets and because the level of the Index may be determined using prices obtained at times other than the Fund's net asset value ("NAV") calculation time, the percentage change of the Fund's NAV per share each day may differ, perhaps significantly, from the Daily Target. This is due primarily to the time difference in determining the level of the Index (3:00 p.m., Japan Standard Time) and valuation of the Fund (4:00 p.m., Eastern Time). As such, correlation to

------

**76 :: ProFund VP Japan**

the Index will generally be measured by comparing the daily change in the Fund's NAV per share to the performance of one or more U.S. exchange-traded securities or financial instruments that reflect the values of the securities underlying the Index as of the Fund's NAV calculation time. In addition, in certain cases, the Fund's portfolio investments trade in markets on days and at times when the Fund is not open for business. As a result, the value of the Fund may change, perhaps significantly, on days and at times when shareholders are unable to purchase, redeem, or exchange shares.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Investment Results**

The bar chart below shows how the Fund's investment results have varied from year to year, and the table shows how the Fund's average annual total returns for various periods compare with different broad measures of market performance. This information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund's performance information reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. It does not reflect charges and fees associated with a separate account that invests in the Fund or any insurance contract for which it is an investment option. Charges and fees will reduce returns. Past results are not predictive of future results.

Reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. Returns are gross returns that do not reflect the reduction of any withholding taxes, and are adjusted to reflect the reinvestment of dividends paid by companies in the Index.

**Management**

The Fund is advised by ProFund Advisors. Alexander Ilyasov, Senior Portfolio Manager, and Eric Silverthorne, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since August 2020 and March 2023, respectively.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares**

Shares are available for purchase by insurance company separate accounts to serve as an investment medium for variable insurance contracts, and by qualified pension and retirement plans, certain insurance companies, and ProFund Advisors. Investors do not contact the Fund directly to purchase or redeem shares. Please refer to the prospectus of the relevant separate account for information on the allocation of premiums and on transfers of accumulated value among sub-accounts of the separate accounts that invest in the Fund.

**Tax Information**

The Fund normally distributes its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. If you are a holder of a contract or policy that invests in the Fund through an insurance company separate account, then these distributions will generally not be taxable to you; please consult the prospectus or other information provided to you by the insurance company regarding the tax consequences of your contract or policy. If you are a holder of such a contract or policy, or if you are investing through a pension or retirement plan that is a tax-advantaged arrangement, you may be taxed later upon distributions with respect to or from those contracts or arrangements. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

**ProFund VP Japan :: 77**

**Payments to Insurance Companies and Other Financial Intermediaries**

The Fund or its distributor (and related companies) may pay insurance companies, which in turn may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks and insurance companies, or their related companies) for the sale and retention of variable contracts and/or policies which offer Fund shares.

These payments may create a conflict of interest for a financial intermediary selling such variable contracts and/or policies, or may be a factor in the insurance company's decision to include the Fund as an investment option in its variable contract or policy. For more information, ask your financial advisor, visit your financial intermediary's website or consult the prospectus for the contract or policy.

**Investment Objective**

ProFund VP Large-Cap Growth (the "Fund") seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the performance of the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Growth Index (the "Index").

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. The expenses shown do not reflect charges or fees associated with insurance company separate accounts or insurance contracts, which would have the effect of increasing overall expenses. Annuity and policy holders should consult the prospectus for their contract or policy for more information about such charges and fees.

| **Annual Fund Operating Expenses**<br> (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the <br> value of your investment) | **Annual Fund Operating Expenses**<br> (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the <br> value of your investment) |
| Investment Advisory Fees | 0.75% |
| Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees | 0.25% |

| Fee Waivers/Reimbursements<sup>2</sup> | -0.01% |
| **Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee** <br> **Waivers and Expense Reimbursements**<br>| **1.68%** |

---

The "Recoupment" line shows gross recoupment payments made by the Fund during its most recent fiscal year. In addition, at times during the fiscal year amounts were waived or reimbursed to the Fund - the gross amount of this waiver/reimbursement is shown separately in the "Fee Waivers/Reimbursements" line. The recoupment shown did not cause the Fund's expenses to exceed any expense limitation in place at the time of recoupment or the time the recouped amounts were originally waived/reimbursed.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board. Amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular contractual period may be recouped by ProFund Advisors within three years subject to certain limitations.

**Example:** This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. It does not reflect separate account or insurance contract

fees or charges. If these charges were reflected, expenses would be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | 1 Year | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years |
| ProFund VP Large-Cap <br> Growth<br>| $171 | $532 | $917 | $1997 |

---

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 121% of the average value of its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

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 growth stocks included in the S&P 500 Index. The S&P 500 Index is designed to measure the performance of 500 of the largest companies listed and domiciled in the U.S. The Index includes the stocks in the S&P 500 Index with the strongest growth characteristics based on: sales growth, changes in earnings over price, and momentum. The selected stocks are then weighted based on market capitalization. The Index's composition and assigned weights are reevaluated annually in December with additional weight adjustments in March, June and September. 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 "SGX."

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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity Securities** — Common stock issued by public companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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

------

**ProFund VP Large-Cap Growth :: 79**

Fund invests in derivatives (e.g. swap agreements and futures contracts) in order to gain exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Futures Contracts** — Standardized contracts that obligate the parties to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price and date in the future.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

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.

The Fund may operate as "non-diversified" as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, solely as a result of a change in relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the Index.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Derivatives Risk** — Investing in derivatives to obtain exposure may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and

correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. To the extent the Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, the Fund will be subject to the risks of that ETF including the risk that the ETF may not meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund may be subject to greater correlation risk since the performance of the ETF may not correlate to the performance of the Index. Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund's return.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Counterparty Risk** — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations. With respect to swap agreements, the terms of the agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund, including intraday (for example, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund's net assets). If an agreement is terminated, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Large-Cap Company Investment Risk** — Although returns on investments in large-cap companies are often perceived as being less volatile than the returns of companies with smaller market capitalizations, the return on large-cap securities could trail the returns on investments in smaller and mid-sized companies for a number of reasons. For example, large-cap companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology, and also may not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Growth Investing Risk** — An investment in growth stocks may be susceptible to rapid price swings, especially during periods of economic uncertainty. Growth stocks typically have little or no dividend income to cushion the effect of adverse market conditions and may be particularly volatile in the event of earnings disappointments or other financial difficulties experienced by the issuer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events.

------

**80 :: ProFund VP Large-Cap Growth**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Money Market Instruments Risk** — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund's exposure may not be consistent with the Index. For example, the Fund may not have exposure to all of the securities in the Index, its weighting of securities may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the communication services and information technology industry groups.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Communication Services Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: product obsolescence; increased research and development costs and capital requirements to formulate new products and services; and regulation by the Federal Communications Commission and various state regulatory authorities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Information Technology Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: intense competition, obsolescence of existing technology, and changing economic conditions and government regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — To the extent that the Fund operates as "non-diversified" as necessary to approximate the composition of the Index, it may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of

issuers. This may increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Management**

The Fund is advised by ProFund Advisors. Michael Neches, Senior Portfolio Manager, and Devin Sullivan, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since October 2013 and March 2018, respectively.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares**

Shares are available for purchase by insurance company separate accounts to serve as an investment medium for variable

insurance contracts, and by qualified pension and retirement plans, certain insurance companies, and ProFund Advisors. Investors do not contact the Fund directly to purchase or redeem shares. Please refer to the prospectus of the relevant separate account for information on the allocation of premiums and on transfers of accumulated value among sub-accounts of the separate accounts that invest in the Fund.

**Tax Information**

The Fund normally distributes its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. If you are a holder of a contract or policy that invests in the Fund through an insurance company separate account, then these distributions will generally not be taxable to you; please consult the prospectus or other information provided to you by the insurance company regarding the tax consequences of your contract or policy. If you are a holder of such a contract or policy, or if you are investing through a pension or retirement plan that is a tax-advantaged arrangement, you may be taxed later upon distributions with respect to or from those contracts or arrangements. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

**Payments to Insurance Companies and Other Financial Intermediaries**

The Fund or its distributor (and related companies) may pay insurance companies, which in turn may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks and insurance companies, or their related companies) for the sale and retention of variable contracts and/or policies which offer Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest for a financial intermediary selling such variable contracts and/or policies, or may be a factor in the insurance company's decision to include the Fund as an investment option in its variable contract or policy. For more information, ask your financial advisor, visit your financial intermediary's website or consult the prospectus for the contract or policy.

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. The expenses shown do not reflect charges or fees associated with insurance company separate accounts or insurance contracts, which would have the effect of increasing overall expenses. Annuity and policy holders should consult the prospectus for their contract or policy for more information about such charges and fees.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board. Amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular contractual period may be recouped by ProFund Advisors within three years subject to certain limitations.

**Example:** This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. It does not reflect separate account or insurance contract fees or charges. If these charges were reflected, expenses would be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 146% of the average value of its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

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 value stocks included in the S&P 500 Index. The S&P 500 Index is designed to measure the performance of 500 of the largest companies listed and domiciled in the U.S. The Index includes the stocks in the S&P 500 Index with the strongest value characteristics based on: book value to price ratio, earnings to price ratio, and sales to price ratio. The selected stocks are then weighted based on market capitalization. The Index's composition and assigned weights are reevaluated annually in December with additional weight adjustments in March, June and September. 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 "SVX."

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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity Securities** — Common stock issued by public companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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 and futures contracts) in order to gain exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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

------

**ProFund VP Large-Cap Value :: 83**

rates of returns) earned or realized on a particular investment or instrument.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Futures Contracts** — Standardized contracts that obligate the parties to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price and date in the future.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Derivatives Risk** — Investing in derivatives to obtain exposure may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. To the extent the Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, the Fund will be subject to the risks of that ETF including the risk that the ETF may not meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund may be subject to greater correlation risk since the performance of the ETF may not correlate to the performance of the Index. Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund's return.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Counterparty Risk** — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations. With respect to swap agreements, the terms of the agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the

counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund, including intraday (for example, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund's net assets). If an agreement is terminated, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Large-Cap Company Investment Risk** — Although returns on investments in large-cap companies are often perceived as being less volatile than the returns of companies with smaller market capitalizations, the return on large-cap securities could trail the returns on investments in smaller and mid-sized companies for a number of reasons. For example, large-cap companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology, and also may not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Value Investing Risk** — Value investing carries the risk that the market will not recognize a security's intrinsic value for a long time, or that a stock deemed to be undervalued by the relevant index methodology may actually be appropriately priced or overvalued.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Money Market Instruments Risk** — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund's exposure may not be consistent with the Index. For example, the Fund may not have exposure to all of the securities in the Index, its weighting of securities may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index.

------

**84 :: ProFund VP Large-Cap Value**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the financials and information technology industry groups.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Financials Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: extensive governmental regulation and/or nationalization that affects the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain; adverse effects from increases in interest rates; adverse effects on profitability by loan losses; and severe competition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Information Technology Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: intense competition, obsolescence of existing technology, and changing economic conditions and government regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Investment Results**

The bar chart below shows how the Fund's investment results have varied from year to year, and the table shows how the Fund's average annual total returns for various periods compare with different broad measures of market performance. This information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund's performance information reflects

applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. It does not reflect charges and fees associated with a separate account that invests in the Fund or any insurance contract for which it is an investment option. Charges and fees will reduce returns. Past results are not predictive of future results.

The "Recoupment" line shows gross recoupment payments made by the Fund during its most recent fiscal year. In addition, at times during the fiscal year amounts were waived or reimbursed to the Fund - the gross amount of this waiver/reimbursement is shown separately in the "Fee Waivers/Reimbursements" line. The recoupment shown did not cause the Fund's expenses to exceed any expense limitation in place at the time of recoupment or the time the recouped amounts were originally waived/reimbursed.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund invests in securities that ProFund Advisors believes, in combination, should track the performance of the Index.

The Index is designed to measure the performance of materials companies included in the S&P 500 Index. The S&P 500 Index is designed to measure the performance of 500 of the largest companies listed and domiciled in the U.S. The Index includes materials companies in the following industries according to the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS): chemicals; construction materials; containers & packaging; metals & mining; and paper & forest products. These companies are then weighted based on market capitalization. The Index's composition and the assigned weights are reevaluated every September with additional weight adjustments in March, June, 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 "IXB."

financial instruments, with the intent of obtaining exposure consistent with the investment objective.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Materials Industry Risk** — The risks of investments in the industry include: adverse effects from commodity price volatility, exchange rate fluctuations, social and political unrest, war, import or export controls, increased competition; the possibility that production of industrial materials may exceed demand as a result of overbuilding or economic downturns, leading to poor investment returns; risk for environmental damage and product liability claims; and adverse effects from depletion of resources, technical progress, labor relations and government regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events.

Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the materials industry group.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers. This may increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

If you are a holder of such a contract or policy, or if you are investing through a pension or retirement plan that is a tax-advantaged arrangement, you may be taxed later upon distributions with respect to or from those contracts or arrangements. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

**Payments to Insurance Companies and Other Financial Intermediaries**

The Fund or its distributor (and related companies) may pay insurance companies, which in turn may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks and insurance companies, or their related companies) for the sale and retention of variable contracts and/or policies which offer Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest for a financial intermediary selling such variable contracts and/or policies, or may be a factor in the insurance company's decision to include the Fund as an investment option in its variable contract or policy. For more information, ask your financial advisor, visit your financial intermediary's website or consult the prospectus for the contract or policy.

**ProFund VP Mid-Cap :: 89**

**Investment Objective**

ProFund VP Mid-Cap (the "Fund") seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the performance of the S&P MidCap 400<sup>®</sup> Index (the "Index").

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. The expenses shown do not reflect charges or fees associated with insurance company separate accounts or insurance contracts, which would have the effect of increasing overall expenses. Annuity and policy holders should consult the prospectus for their contract or policy for more information about such charges and fees.

| **Annual Fund Operating Expenses**<br> (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the <br> value of your investment) | **Annual Fund Operating Expenses**<br> (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the <br> value of your investment) |
| Investment Advisory Fees | 0.75% |
| Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees | 0.25% |
| Other Expenses | 0.68% |
| Recoupment<sup>1</sup> | 0.02% |
| Other Operating Expenses | 0.66% |
| **Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses**<sup>2</sup> | **1.68%** |

---

The "Recoupment" line shows gross recoupment payments made by the Fund during its most recent fiscal year. The recoupment shown did not cause the Fund's expenses to exceed any expense limitation in place at the time of recoupment or the time the recouped amounts were originally waived/reimbursed.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board. Amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular contractual period may be recouped by ProFund Advisors within three years subject to certain limitations.

**Example:** This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. It does not reflect separate account or insurance contract fees or charges. If these charges were reflected, expenses would be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

---

|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | 1 Year | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years |

---

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

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 mid-cap companies listed and domiciled in the U.S. The Index selects 400 companies based on market capitalization. As of December 31, 2025, the market capitalization of companies in the Index was between $503 million and $33 billion. The selected companies are then weighted based on market capitalization. The Index's composition and the assigned weights are reevaluated every September with additional weight adjustments in March, June, 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 "MID."

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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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 and futures contracts) in order to gain exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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

------

**90 :: ProFund VP Mid-Cap**

rates of returns) earned or realized on a particular investment or instrument.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Futures Contracts** — Standardized contracts that obligate the parties to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price and date in the future.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Derivatives Risk** — Investing in derivatives to obtain exposure may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. To the extent the Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, the Fund will be subject to the risks of that ETF including the risk that the ETF may not meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund may be subject to greater correlation risk since the performance of the ETF may not correlate to the performance of the Index. Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund's return.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Counterparty Risk** — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations. With respect to swap agreements, the terms of the agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with

the Fund, including intraday (for example, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund's net assets). If an agreement is terminated, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Mid-Cap Company Investment Risk** — The risk of equity investing may be particularly acute for securities of issuers with smaller market capitalizations. Mid-cap companies may have limited product lines or resources, may be dependent upon a particular market niche and may have greater fluctuations in price than the stocks of larger companies. Mid-cap companies may lack the financial and personnel resources to handle economic or industry-wide setbacks and, as a result, such setbacks could have a greater effect on mid-cap security prices. Additionally, mid-cap company stocks may trade at greater spreads or lower trading volumes, and may be less liquid than the stocks of larger companies. Further, stocks of mid-sized companies could be more difficult to liquidate during market downturns compared to larger, more widely traded companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Money Market Instruments Risk** — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund's exposure may not be consistent with the Index. For example, the Fund may not have exposure to all of the securities in the Index, its weighting of securities may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or

------

**ProFund VP Mid-Cap :: 91**

group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the financials and industrials industry groups.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Financials Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: extensive governmental regulation and/or nationalization that affects the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain; adverse effects from increases in interest rates; adverse effects on profitability by loan losses; and severe competition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Industrials Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: adverse effects on stock prices by supply and demand both for their specific product or service and for industrials industry products in general; declining demand; and changing government regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Investment Results**

The bar chart below shows how the Fund's investment results have varied from year to year, and the table shows how the

Fund's average annual total returns for various periods compare with different broad measures of market performance. This information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund's performance information reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. It does not reflect charges and fees associated with a separate account that invests in the Fund or any insurance contract for which it is an investment option. Charges and fees will reduce returns. Past results are not predictive of future results.

transfers of accumulated value among sub-accounts of the separate accounts that invest in the Fund.

**Tax Information**

The Fund normally distributes its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. If you are a holder of a contract or policy that invests in the Fund through an insurance company separate account, then these distributions will generally not be taxable to you; please consult the prospectus or other information provided to you by the insurance company regarding the tax consequences of your contract or policy. If you are a holder of such a contract or policy, or if you are investing through a pension or retirement plan that is a tax-advantaged arrangement, you may be taxed later upon distributions with respect to or from those contracts or arrangements. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

**Payments to Insurance Companies and Other Financial Intermediaries**

The Fund or its distributor (and related companies) may pay insurance companies, which in turn may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks and insurance companies, or their related companies) for the sale and retention of variable contracts and/or policies which offer Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest for a financial intermediary selling such variable contracts and/or policies, or may be a factor in the insurance company's decision to include the Fund as an investment option in its variable contract or policy. For more information, ask your financial advisor, visit your financial intermediary's website or consult the prospectus for the contract or policy.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

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 growth stocks included in the S&P MidCap 400 Index. The S&P MidCap 400 Index is designed to measure the performance of mid-cap companies listed and domiciled in the U.S. As of December 31, 2025, the market capitalization of companies in the Index was between $2 billion and $33 billion. The Index includes the stocks in the S&P MidCap 400 Index with the strongest growth characteristics based on: sales growth, changes in earnings over price, and momentum. The selected stocks are then weighted based on market capitalization. The Index's composition and assigned weights are reevaluated annually in December with additional weight adjustments in March, June and September. 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 "MIDG."

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.

Further, stocks of mid-sized companies could be more difficult to liquidate during market downturns compared to larger, more widely traded companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Growth Investing Risk** — An investment in growth stocks may be susceptible to rapid price swings, especially during periods of economic uncertainty. Growth stocks typically have little or no dividend income to cushion the effect of adverse market conditions and may be particularly volatile in the event of earnings disappointments or other financial difficulties experienced by the issuer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events.

The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Information Technology Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: intense competition, obsolescence of existing technology, and changing economic conditions and government regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares**

Shares are available for purchase by insurance company separate accounts to serve as an investment medium for variable insurance contracts, and by qualified pension and retirement plans, certain insurance companies, and ProFund Advisors. Investors do not contact the Fund directly to purchase or redeem shares. Please refer to the prospectus of the relevant separate account for information on the allocation of premiums and on transfers of accumulated value among sub-accounts of the separate accounts that invest in the Fund.

**Tax Information**

The Fund normally distributes its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. If you are a holder of a contract or policy that invests in the Fund through an insurance company separate account, then these distributions will generally not be taxable to you; please consult the prospectus or other information provided to you by the insurance company regarding the tax consequences of your contract or policy. If you are a holder of such a contract or policy, or if you are investing

through a pension or retirement plan that is a tax-advantaged arrangement, you may be taxed later upon distributions with respect to or from those contracts or arrangements. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

**Payments to Insurance Companies and Other Financial Intermediaries**

The Fund or its distributor (and related companies) may pay insurance companies, which in turn may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks and insurance companies, or their related companies) for the sale and retention of variable contracts and/or policies which offer Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest for a financial intermediary selling such variable contracts and/or policies, or may be a factor in the insurance company's decision to include the Fund as an investment option in its variable contract or policy. For more information, ask your financial advisor, visit your financial intermediary's website or consult the prospectus for the contract or policy.

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. The expenses shown do not reflect charges or fees associated with insurance company separate accounts or insurance contracts, which would have the effect of increasing overall expenses.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board. Amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular contractual period may be recouped by ProFund Advisors within three years subject to certain limitations.

**Example:** This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. It does not reflect separate account or insurance contract fees or charges. If these charges were reflected, expenses would be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 158% of the average value of its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

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 value stocks included in the S&P MidCap 400 Index. The S&P MidCap 400 Index is designed to measure the performance of mid-cap companies listed and domiciled in the U.S. As of December 31, 2025, the market capitalization of companies in the Index was between $503 million and $21 billion. The Index includes the stocks in the S&P MidCap 400 Index with the strongest value characteristics based on: book value to price ratio, earnings to price ratio, and sales to price ratio. The selected stocks are then weighted based on market capitalization. The Index's composition and assigned weights are reevaluated annually in December with additional weight adjustments in March, June and September. 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 "MIDV."

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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity Securities** — Common stock issued by public companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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 and futures contracts) in order to gain exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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

------

**98 :: ProFund VP Mid-Cap Value**

may agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on a particular investment or instrument.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Futures Contracts** — Standardized contracts that obligate the parties to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price and date in the future.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Derivatives Risk** — Investing in derivatives to obtain exposure may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. To the extent the Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, the Fund will be subject to the risks of that ETF including the risk that the ETF may not meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund may be subject to greater correlation risk since the performance of the ETF may not correlate to the performance of the Index. Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund's return.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Counterparty Risk** — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations. With respect to swap agreements, the terms of the agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the

counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund, including intraday (for example, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund's net assets). If an agreement is terminated, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Mid-Cap Company Investment Risk** — The risk of equity investing may be particularly acute for securities of issuers with smaller market capitalizations. Mid-cap companies may have limited product lines or resources, may be dependent upon a particular market niche and may have greater fluctuations in price than the stocks of larger companies. Mid-cap companies may lack the financial and personnel resources to handle economic or industry-wide setbacks and, as a result, such setbacks could have a greater effect on mid-cap security prices. Additionally, mid-cap company stocks may trade at greater spreads or lower trading volumes, and may be less liquid than the stocks of larger companies. Further, stocks of mid-sized companies could be more difficult to liquidate during market downturns compared to larger, more widely traded companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Value Investing Risk** — Value investing carries the risk that the market will not recognize a security's intrinsic value for a long time, or that a stock deemed to be undervalued by the relevant index methodology may actually be appropriately priced or overvalued.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Money Market Instruments Risk** — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund's exposure may not be consistent with the Index. For example, the Fund may not

------

**ProFund VP Mid-Cap Value :: 99**

have exposure to all of the securities in the Index, its weighting of securities may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the financials and industrials industry groups.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Financials Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: extensive governmental regulation and/or nationalization that affects the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain; adverse effects from increases in interest rates; adverse effects on profitability by loan losses; and severe competition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Industrials Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: adverse effects on stock prices by supply and demand both for their specific product or service and for industrials industry products in general; declining demand; and changing government regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Investment Results**

The bar chart below shows how the Fund's investment results have varied from year to year, and the table shows how the Fund's average annual total returns for various periods compare

with different broad measures of market performance. This information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund's performance information reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. It does not reflect charges and fees associated with a separate account that invests in the Fund or any insurance contract for which it is an investment option. Charges and fees will reduce returns. Past results are not predictive of future results.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Information Technology Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: intense competition, obsolescence of existing technology, and changing economic conditions and government regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Investment Results**

The bar chart below shows how the Fund's investment results have varied from year to year, and the table shows how the Fund's average annual total returns for various periods compare with a broad measure of market performance. This information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund's performance information reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. It does not reflect charges and fees associated with a separate account that invests in the Fund or any insurance contract for which it is an investment option. Charges and fees will reduce returns. Past results are not predictive of future results.

Reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. Adjusted to reflect the reinvestment of dividends paid by issuers in the Index.

**Management**

The Fund is advised by ProFund Advisors. Michael Neches, Senior Portfolio Manager, and Devin Sullivan, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since October 2013 and March 2018, respectively.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares**

Shares are available for purchase by insurance company separate accounts to serve as an investment medium for variable insurance contracts, and by qualified pension and retirement plans, certain insurance companies, and ProFund Advisors. Investors do not contact the Fund directly to purchase or redeem shares. Please refer to the prospectus of the relevant separate

account for information on the allocation of premiums and on transfers of accumulated value among sub-accounts of the separate accounts that invest in the Fund.

**Tax Information**

The Fund normally distributes its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. If you are a holder of a contract or policy that invests in the Fund through an insurance company separate account, then these distributions will generally not be taxable to you; please consult the prospectus or other information provided to you by the insurance company regarding the tax consequences of your contract or policy. If you are a holder of such a contract or policy, or if you are investing through a pension or retirement plan that is a tax-advantaged arrangement, you may be taxed later upon distributions with respect to or from those contracts or arrangements. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

**Payments to Insurance Companies and Other Financial Intermediaries**

The Fund or its distributor (and related companies) may pay insurance companies, which in turn may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks and insurance companies, or their related companies) for the sale and retention of variable contracts and/or policies which offer Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest for a financial intermediary selling such variable contracts and/or policies, or may be a factor in the insurance company's decision to include the Fund as an investment option in its variable contract or policy. For more information, ask your financial advisor, visit your financial intermediary's website or consult the prospectus for the contract or policy.

**ProFund VP Pharmaceuticals :: 105**

**Investment Objective**

ProFund VP Pharmaceuticals (the "Fund") seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the performance of the S&P Pharmaceuticals Select Industry Index (the "Index").

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. The expenses shown do not reflect charges or fees associated with insurance company separate accounts or insurance contracts, which would have the effect of increasing overall expenses. Annuity and policy holders should consult the prospectus for their contract or policy for more information about such charges and fees.

The "Recoupment" line shows gross recoupment payments made by the Fund during its most recent fiscal year. In addition, at times during the fiscal year amounts were waived or reimbursed to the Fund - the gross amount of this waiver/reimbursement is shown separately in the "Fee Waivers/Reimbursements" line. The recoupment shown did not cause the Fund's expenses to exceed any expense limitation in place at the time of recoupment or the time the recouped amounts were originally waived/reimbursed.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board. Amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular contractual period may be recouped by ProFund Advisors within three years subject to certain limitations.

**Example:** This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. It does not reflect separate account or insurance contract fees or charges. If these charges were reflected, expenses would

be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | 1 Year | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years |
| ProFund VP <br> Pharmaceuticals<br>| $171 | $532 | $917 | $1997 |

---

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 143% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund invests in securities that ProFund Advisors believes, in combination, should track the performance of the Index.

The Index is designed to measure the performance of pharmaceuticals companies included in the S&P Total Market Index. The S&P Total Market Index is designed to track the broad equity market listed and domiciled in the U.S. The Index includes companies in the pharmaceuticals sub-industry according to the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS). These companies are then weighted using an equal weight methodology with liquidity adjustments. The Index's composition and the assigned weights are reevaluated every September with additional weight adjustments in March, June, 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 "SPSIPH."

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 securities listed below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity Securities** — Common stock issued by public companies.

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

------

**106 :: ProFund VP Pharmaceuticals**

financial instruments, with the intent of obtaining exposure consistent with the investment objective.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Pharmaceuticals, Biotechnology, and Life Sciences Industry Risk** — The risks of investments in the industry include: heavy dependence on patents and intellectual property rights, with profitability affected by the loss or impairment of such rights; risks of new technologies and competitive pressures; large expenditures on research and development of products or services that may not prove commercially successful or may become obsolete quickly; regulations and restrictions imposed by the Food and Drug Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, state and local governments, and foreign regulatory authorities; and thin capitalization and limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. Moreover, stock prices of biotechnology companies are very volatile, particularly when their products are up for regulatory approval and/or under regulatory scrutiny. The biotechnology sector may also be affected by risks that affect the broader health care industry, including expenses and losses from extensive litigation on product liability and similar claims. The pharmaceuticals sector may also be affected by risks that affect the broader health care industry, including: heavy dependence on patent protection, with profitability affected by the expiration of patents; supply chain issues; labor shortages; product liability claims; competitive forces that may make it difficult to raise prices and, in fact, may result in price discounts; and thin capitalization and limited product lines, markets and financial resources or personnel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its investment

objective. In addition, the Fund's exposure may not be consistent with the Index. For example, the Fund may not have exposure to all of the securities in the Index, its weighting of securities may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences industry group.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers. This may increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. The expenses shown do not reflect charges or fees associated with insurance company separate accounts or insurance contracts, which would have the effect of increasing overall expenses.

The "Recoupment" line shows gross recoupment payments made by the Fund during its most recent fiscal year. The recoupment shown did not cause the Fund's expenses to exceed any expense limitation in place at the time of recoupment or the time the recouped amounts were originally waived/reimbursed.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board. Amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular contractual period may be recouped by ProFund Advisors within three years subject to certain limitations.

**Example:** This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. It does not reflect separate account or insurance contract fees or charges. If these charges were reflected, expenses would be higher.

---

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

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 Index's 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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

------

**ProFund VP Precious Metals :: 109**

may agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on a particular investment or instrument.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Derivatives Risk** — Investing in derivatives to obtain exposure may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. To the extent the Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, the Fund will be subject to the risks of that ETF including the risk that the ETF may not meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund may be subject to greater correlation risk since the performance of the ETF may not correlate to the performance of the Index. Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund's return.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Counterparty Risk** — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations. With respect to swap agreements, the terms of the agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund, including intraday (for example, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the

Fund's net assets). If an agreement is terminated, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Precious Metals Mining Industry Risk** — The risks related to changes in the price of gold, silver and platinum group metals include changing inflation expectations, currency fluctuations, speculation, and industrial, government and global consumer demand; disruptions in the supply chain; rising production and regulatory compliance costs; adverse effects from government and environmental regulation, world events and economic conditions; market, economic and political risks of the countries where precious metals companies are located or do business; thin capitalization and limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel; and the possible illiquidity of certain of the securities represented in the Index may adversely affect companies engaged in precious metals mining related businesses. Depending on market conditions, precious metals mining companies may dramatically outperform or underperform more traditional equity investments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Foreign Investments Risk** — Exposure to securities of foreign issuers may provide the Fund with increased risk. Foreign investments may be more susceptible to political, social, economic and regional factors than may be the case with U.S. securities. In addition, markets for foreign investments are usually less liquid, more volatile and significantly smaller than markets for U.S. securities, which may affect, among other things, the Fund's ability to purchase or sell foreign investments at appropriate times and prices. Because of differences in settlement times and/or foreign market holidays, transactions in a foreign market may take place one or more days after the necessary exposure to these investments is determined.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Foreign Currency Risk** — Investments linked to or denominated in foreign currencies are exposed to additional risk factors versus those investments denominated in U.S. dollars and linked to U.S. investments. The value of an

------

**110 :: ProFund VP Precious Metals**

investment linked to or denominated in a foreign currency could change significantly as foreign currencies strengthen or weaken relative to the U.S. dollar.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Money Market Instruments Risk** — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund's exposure may not be consistent with the Index. For example, the Fund may not have exposure to all of the instruments in the Index, its weighting of instruments may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the materials industry group.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Materials Industry Risk** — Companies in this sector may experience: adverse effects from commodity price volatility, exchange rates, import controls and increased competition; supply and demand issues; and risk for environmental damage and product liability claims.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

The bar chart below shows how the Fund's investment results have varied from year to year, and the table shows how the Fund's average annual total returns for various periods compare with different broad measures of market performance. This information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund's performance information reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. It does not reflect charges and fees associated with a separate account that invests in the Fund or any insurance contract for which it is an investment option. Charges and fees will reduce returns. Past results are not predictive of future results.

Reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. Adjusted to reflect the reinvestment of dividends paid by issuers in the Index.

**Management**

The Fund is advised by ProFund Advisors. Michael Neches, Senior Portfolio Manager, and Tarak Davé, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since October 2013 and March 2018, respectively.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares**

Shares are available for purchase by insurance company separate accounts to serve as an investment medium for variable

insurance contracts, and by qualified pension and retirement plans, certain insurance companies, and ProFund Advisors. Investors do not contact the Fund directly to purchase or redeem shares. Please refer to the prospectus of the relevant separate account for information on the allocation of premiums and on transfers of accumulated value among sub-accounts of the separate accounts that invest in the Fund.

**Tax Information**

The Fund normally distributes its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. If you are a holder of a contract or policy that invests in the Fund through an insurance company separate account, then these distributions will generally not be taxable to you; please consult the prospectus or other information provided to you by the insurance company regarding the tax consequences of your contract or policy. If you are a holder of such a contract or policy, or if you are investing through a pension or retirement plan that is a tax-advantaged arrangement, you may be taxed later upon distributions with respect to or from those contracts or arrangements. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

**Payments to Insurance Companies and Other Financial Intermediaries**

The Fund or its distributor (and related companies) may pay insurance companies, which in turn may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks and insurance companies, or their related companies) for the sale and retention of variable contracts and/or policies which offer Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest for a financial intermediary selling such variable contracts and/or policies, or may be a factor in the insurance company's decision to include the Fund as an investment option in its variable contract or policy. For more information, ask your financial advisor, visit your financial intermediary's website or consult the prospectus for the contract or policy.

**112 :: ProFund VP Real Estate**

**Investment Objective**

ProFund VP Real Estate (the "Fund") seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the performance of the S&P Real Estate Select Sector Index (the "Index").

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. The expenses shown do not reflect charges or fees associated with insurance company separate accounts or insurance contracts, which would have the effect of increasing overall expenses. Annuity and policy holders should consult the prospectus for their contract or policy for more information about such charges and fees.

The "Recoupment" line shows gross recoupment payments made by the Fund during its most recent fiscal year. In addition, at times during the fiscal year amounts were waived or reimbursed to the Fund - the gross amount of this waiver/reimbursement is shown separately in the "Fee Waivers/Reimbursements" line. The recoupment shown did not cause the Fund's expenses to exceed any expense limitation in place at the time of recoupment or the time the recouped amounts were originally waived/reimbursed.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board. Amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular contractual period may be recouped by ProFund Advisors within three years subject to certain limitations.

**Example:** This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. It does not reflect separate account or insurance contract fees or charges. If these charges were reflected, expenses would

be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

|  | 1 Year | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years |
| ProFund VP Real Estate | $171 | $538 | $930 | $2027 |

---

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 1,433% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund invests in securities that ProFund Advisors believes, in combination, should track the performance of the Index.

The Index is designed to measure the performance of real estate companies included in the S&P 500 Index. The S&P 500 Index is designed to measure the performance of 500 of the largest companies listed and domiciled in the U.S. The Index includes real estate companies in the following industries according to the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS): diversified real estate investment trusts ("REITs"); industrial REITs; hotel & resort REITs; office REITs; heath care REITs; residential REITs; retail REITs; specialized REITs; and real estate management & development. These companies are then weighted based on market capitalization. The Index's composition and the assigned weights are reevaluated every September with additional weight adjustments in March, June, 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 "IXRE."

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 securities listed below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity Securities** — Common stock issued by public companies.

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

**ProFund VP Real Estate :: 113**

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.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Real Estate Industry Risk** — Investing in securities of real estate companies includes risks such as: fluctuations in the value of the underlying properties; periodic overbuilding and market saturation; changes in general and local economic conditions; changes in demographic trends, such as population shifts or changing tastes and values; concentration in a particular geographic region or property type; catastrophic events such as earthquakes, hurricanes and terrorist acts; casualty or condemnation losses; decreases in market rates for rents; increased competition; increases in property taxes, interest rates, capital expenditures, or operating expenses; changes in the availability, cost and terms of mortgage funds; defaults by borrowers or tenants; and other economic, political or regulatory occurrences, including the impact of changes in environmental laws, that may affect the real estate industry. Although interest rates have significantly increased since 2022, the prices of real estate-related assets generally have not decreased as much as may be expected based on historical correlations between interest rates and prices of real estate-related assets. This presents an increased risk of a correction or severe downturn in real estate-related asset prices, which could adversely impact the value of other investments as well (such as loans, securitized debt and other fixed income securities). This risk is particularly present with respect to commercial real estate-related asset prices, and the value of other investments with a connection to the commercial real estate sector. As examples of the current risks faced by real estate-related assets: tenant vacancy rates, tenant turnover and tenant concentration have increased; owners of real estate have faced headwinds, delinquencies and difficulties in collecting rents and other payments (which increases the risk of owners being unable to pay or otherwise defaulting on their own borrowings and obligations); property values have declined; inflation, upkeep costs and other expenses have increased; and rents have declined for many properties. The economic impacts of COVID-19 have created a unique challenge for real estate markets. Many businesses have either partially or fully transitioned to a remote-working environment and this transition may negatively impact the occupancy rates of commercial real estate over time. Similarly, trends in favor of online shopping may negatively affect the real estate market for commercial properties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to

day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund's exposure may not be consistent with the Index. For example, the Fund may not have exposure to all of the securities in the Index, its weighting of securities may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the real estate industry group.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

**ProFund VP Rising Rates Opportunity :: 115**

**Investment Objective**

ProFund VP Rising Rates Opportunity (the "Fund") seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to one and one-quarter times the inverse (-1.25x) of the daily performance of the most recently issued 30-Year U.S. Treasury Bond (the "Long Bond").

**Important Information About the Fund**

If the Fund is successful in meeting its investment objective, it should gain approximately one and one-quarter times as much as the Long Bond loses when the Long Bond falls on a given day. Conversely, it should lose approximately one and one-quarter times as much as the Long Bond gains when the Long Bond rises on a given day. **The Fund does not seek to achieve one and one-quarter times the inverse (-1.25x) of the daily performance of the Long Bond (the "Daily Target") for any period other than a day.**

While the Fund has a daily investment objective, you may hold Fund shares for longer than one day if you believe doing so is consistent with your goals and risk tolerance. **If you hold fund shares for any period other than a day, it is important for you to understand that over your holding period:** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Your return may be higher or lower than the Daily Target, and this difference may be significant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Factors that contribute to returns that are worse than the Daily Target include smaller Long Bond gains or losses and higher Long Bond volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Factors that contribute to returns that are better than the Daily Target include larger Long Bond gains or losses and lower Long Bond volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●The more extreme these factors are, and the more they occur together, the more your return will tend to deviate from the Daily Target.

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. The expenses shown do not reflect charges or fees associated with insurance company separate accounts or insurance contracts, which would have the effect of increasing overall expenses. Annuity and policy

holders should consult the prospectus for their contract or policy for more information about such charges and fees.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board. Amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular contractual period may be recouped by ProFund Advisors within three years subject to certain limitations.

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs.

------

**116 :: ProFund VP Rising Rates Opportunity**

These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund invests in financial instruments that ProFund Advisors believes, in combination, should produce daily returns consistent with the Daily Target.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will obtain inverse leveraged exposure to at least 80% of its total assets in components of the Long Bond or in instruments with similar economic characteristics.

The Fund will invest principally in the financial instruments listed below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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 inverse leveraged exposure to the Long Bond. These derivatives principally include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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 daily returns consistent with the Daily Target. For these purposes a day is measured from the time of one net asset value ("NAV") calculation to the next.

The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in financial instruments that, in combination, provide inverse leveraged exposure consistent with the investment objective, without regard to market conditions, trends or direction.

The Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio each day so that its exposure to the Long Bond is consistent with the Daily Target. The Long Bond's movements during the day will affect whether the Fund's portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the Long Bond has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall (assuming there were no shares issued). As a result, the Fund's exposure will need to be decreased. Conversely, if the Long Bond has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise (assuming there were no share redemptions). As a result, the Fund's exposure will need to be increased.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Short or Inverse Investing Risk** — You will lose money when the Long Bond rises – a result that is the opposite from a traditional index fund. Obtaining inverse or "short" exposure may be considered an aggressive investment technique. The costs of obtaining this short exposure will lower your returns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Leverage Risk** — The Fund uses leverage and will lose more money when the value of the Long Bond rises than a similar fund that does not use leverage. The use of leverage increases the risk of a total loss of your investment. If the Long Bond approaches a 80% gain at any point in the day, you could lose your entire investment. As a result, an investment in the Fund may not be suitable for all investors. The use of leverage increases the volatility of your returns. The cost of obtaining this leverage will lower your returns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Holding Period Risk** — The performance of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will likely differ from the Daily Target. This difference may be significant. **If you are considering holding fund shares for longer than a day, it's important that you understand the impact of the return and volatility (how much the value of the Long Bond moves up and down from day-to-day) of the Long Bond on your holding period return.** The volatility of the Long Bond has a negative impact on Fund returns. During periods of higher volatility, the volatility of the Long Bond may affect the Fund's returns as much as or more than the return of the Long Bond.

The following table illustrates the impact of the volatility and return of the Long Bond on Fund returns for a hypothetical one-year period. However, these effects will impact your return for any holding period other than a day. **The longer you hold shares of the Fund, the more magnified these effects will be. As a result, you should consider monitoring your investments in the Fund in light of your individual investment goals and risk tolerance.** 

------

**ProFund VP Rising Rates Opportunity :: 117**

In the table areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than the Daily Target. As the table shows, your return will tend to be worse than the Daily Target when there are smaller gains or losses and higher volatility in the Long Bond. Your return will tend to be better than the Daily Target when there are larger gains or losses and lower volatility in the Long Bond. You may lose money when the return of the Long Bond is flat (i.e., close to zero) and you may lose money when the Long Bond falls.

The table uses hypothetical annualized volatility and returns of the Long Bond to illustrate the impact of these two factors on Fund performance over a one-year period. It does not represent actual returns. Each row corresponds to the level of a hypothetical return of the Long Bond for a one-year period. Each column corresponds to a level of hypothetical annualized volatility of the Long Bond. For example, the Fund may mistakenly be expected to achieve a -25% return on a yearly basis if the annual return of the Long Bond were 20%. However, as the table shows, with a one-year return of the Long Bond of 20% and an annualized volatility of the Long Bond of 50%, the Fund could be expected to return -44.0%.

Assumes: (a) no dividends paid with respect to securities included in the Long Bond; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain inverse leveraged exposure) of zero percent. If these were included the Fund's performance would be different from that shown.

The annualized historical volatility rate for the Long Bond for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 16.51%. The highest December to December volatility rate for the Long Bond during the five-year period ended December 31, 2025

was 21.63% (December 31, 2022). The annualized total return performance of the Long Bond for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was -9.22%. The historical volatility and performance of the Long Bond do not predict future volatility and performance of the Long Bond.

For more information, including additional graphs and charts demonstrating the effects of the volatility and return of the Long Bond on the long-term performance of the Fund, see "Understanding the Risks and Long-Term Performance of a Daily Objective Fund" in the Fund's Prospectus.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of inverse leveraged correlation with the Long Bond. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its Daily Target. In addition, the Fund may not have inverse leveraged exposure to all of the instruments in the Long Bond, its weighting of those instruments may be different from that of the Long Bond, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Long Bond. Moreover, if for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a portion of its investments, the Fund may have exposure to the Long Bond that is significantly greater or less than the Daily Target. Any of these factors may prevent the Fund from achieving exposure consistent with the Daily Target.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Derivatives Risk** — Investing in derivatives to obtain inverse leveraged exposure may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. To the extent the Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, the Fund will be subject to the risks of that ETF including the risk that the ETF may not meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund may be subject to greater correlation risk since the performance of the ETF may not correlate to the performance of the Long Bond. Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund's return.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Counterparty Risk** — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations. With respect to swap agreements, the terms of the agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund, including intraday (for example, if the Long Bond has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund's net assets). If an agreement is terminated, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**U.S. Treasury Market Risk** — The U.S. Treasury market can be volatile, and the value of instruments correlated with these markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. U.S. Treasury obligations may provide relatively lower returns than those of other securities. Similar to other debt

------

**118 :: ProFund VP Rising Rates Opportunity**

instruments, U.S. Treasury obligations are subject to debt instrument risk and interest rate risk. In addition, changes to the financial condition or credit rating of the U.S. Government may cause the value of U.S. Treasury obligations to decline.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Debt Instrument Risk** — Debt instruments are subject to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market and economic developments, as well as developments that affect specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. Debt markets can be volatile and the value of instruments correlated with these markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. As a fund seeking daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to one and one-quarter times the inverse (-1.25x) of the daily return of the Long Bond, the value of an investment in the Fund is expected to decline when market conditions cause the level of the Long Bond to rise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Interest Rate Risk** — Interest rate risk is the risk that debt instruments or related financial instruments may fluctuate in value due to changes in interest rates. A wide variety of factors can cause interest rates to fluctuate (e.g., central bank monetary policies, fiscal or other government policies, inflation rates, general economic conditions, etc.). Commonly, investments subject to interest rate risk will decrease in value when interest rates rise and increase in value when interest rates decline. A rising interest rate environment may cause the value of debt instruments to decrease and adversely impact the liquidity of debt instruments. Without taking into account other factors, the value of securities with longer maturities typically fluctuates more in response to interest rate changes than securities with shorter maturities. These factors may cause the value of an investment in the Fund to change. As a fund seeking daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to one and one-quarter times the inverse (-1.25x) of the daily return of the Long Bond, the Fund's performance will generally be more favorable when interest rates rise and less favorable when interest rates decline.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Money Market Instruments Risk** — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in

government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Investment Results**

The bar chart below shows how the Fund's investment results have varied from year to year, and the table shows how the Fund's average annual total returns for various periods compare with different broad measures of market performance. This information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund's performance information reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. It does not reflect charges and fees associated with a separate account that invests in the Fund or any insurance contract for which it is an investment option. Charges and fees will reduce returns. Past results are not predictive of future results.

Reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes.

Annual returns are required to be shown and should not be interpreted as suggesting that the Fund should or should not be held for longer periods of time.

**Management**

The Fund is advised by ProFund Advisors. Alexander Ilyasov, Senior Portfolio Manager, and James Linneman, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since April 2019 and March 2022, respectively.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares**

Shares are available for purchase by insurance company separate accounts to serve as an investment medium for variable

insurance contracts, and by qualified pension and retirement plans, certain insurance companies, and ProFund Advisors. Investors do not contact the Fund directly to purchase or redeem shares. Please refer to the prospectus of the relevant separate account for information on the allocation of premiums and on transfers of accumulated value among sub-accounts of the separate accounts that invest in the Fund.

**Tax Information**

The Fund normally distributes its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. If you are a holder of a contract or policy that invests in the Fund through an insurance company separate account, then these distributions will generally not be taxable to you; please consult the prospectus or other information provided to you by the insurance company regarding the tax consequences of your contract or policy. If you are a holder of such a contract or policy, or if you are investing through a pension or retirement plan that is a tax-advantaged arrangement, you may be taxed later upon distributions with respect to or from those contracts or arrangements. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

**Payments to Insurance Companies and Other Financial Intermediaries**

The Fund or its distributor (and related companies) may pay insurance companies, which in turn may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks and insurance companies, or their related companies) for the sale and retention of variable contracts and/or policies which offer Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest for a financial intermediary selling such variable contracts and/or policies, or may be a factor in the insurance company's decision to include the Fund as an investment option in its variable contract or policy. For more information, ask your financial advisor, visit your financial intermediary's website or consult the prospectus for the contract or policy.

**120 :: ProFund VP Semiconductor**

**Investment Objective**

ProFund VP Semiconductor (the "Fund") seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the performance of the Dow Jones U.S. Semiconductors<sup>SM</sup> Index (the "Index").

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. The expenses shown do not reflect charges or fees associated with insurance company separate accounts or insurance contracts, which would have the effect of increasing overall expenses. Annuity and policy holders should consult the prospectus for their contract or policy for more information about such charges and fees.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board. Amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular contractual period may be recouped by ProFund Advisors within three years subject to certain limitations.

**Example:** This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. It does not reflect separate account or insurance contract fees or charges. If these charges were reflected, expenses would be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

---

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund

Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 353% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund invests in securities 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 in the semiconductors subsector. The semiconductor subsector includes producers and distributors of semiconductors and other integrated chips, including other products related to the semiconductor industry, such as semiconductor capital equipment and motherboards. U.S. companies in this sub-sector are selected and then weighted based on market capitalization. The Index's composition and the assigned weights are reevaluated every September with additional weight adjustments occurring in March, June 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 "DJUSSC."

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 securities listed below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity Securities** — Common stock issued by public companies.

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.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Semiconductors and Semiconductor Equipment Industry Risk** — The risks of investments in the industry include: intense competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from subsidized foreign competitors with lower production costs; wide fluctuations in securities prices due to risks of rapid obsolescence of products; economic performance of the customers of semiconductor companies; their research costs and the risks that their

------

**ProFund VP Semiconductor :: 121**

products may not prove commercially successful; capital equipment expenditures that could be substantial and suffer from rapid obsolescence; and thin capitalization and limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. The semiconductors sector may also be affected by risks that affect the broader technology sector, including: government regulation; dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for qualified personnel; heavy dependence on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect profitability; and a small number of companies representing a large portion of the technology sector as a whole.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund's exposure may not be consistent with the Index. For example, the Fund may not have exposure to all of the securities in the Index, its weighting of securities may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of

December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the semiconductors & semiconductor equipment industry group.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers. This may increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

The Fund or its distributor (and related companies) may pay insurance companies, which in turn may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks and insurance companies, or their related companies) for the sale and retention of variable contracts and/or policies which offer Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest for a financial intermediary selling such variable contracts and/or policies, or may be a factor in the insurance company's decision to include the Fund as an investment option in its variable contract or policy. For more information, ask your financial advisor, visit your financial intermediary's website or consult the prospectus for the contract or policy.

**ProFund VP Short Dow 30 :: 123**

**Investment Objective**

ProFund VP Short Dow 30 (the "Fund") seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the daily performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average<sup>®</sup> (the "Index").

**Important Information About the Fund**

If the Fund is successful in meeting its investment objective, it should gain approximately as much as the Index loses when the Index falls on a given day. Conversely, it should lose approximately as much as the Index gains when the Index rises on a given day. **The Fund does not seek to achieve the inverse (-1x) of the daily performance of the Index (the "Daily Target") for any period other than a day.**

While the Fund has a daily investment objective, you may hold Fund shares for longer than one day if you believe doing so is consistent with your goals and risk tolerance. **If you hold fund shares for any period other than a day, it is important for you to understand that over your holding period:** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Your return may be higher or lower than the Daily Target, and this difference may be significant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Factors that contribute to returns that are worse than the Daily Target include smaller Index gains or losses and higher Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Factors that contribute to returns that are better than the Daily Target include larger Index gains or losses and lower Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●The more extreme these factors are, and the more they occur together, the more your return will tend to deviate from the Daily Target.

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. The expenses shown do not reflect charges or fees associated with insurance company separate accounts or insurance contracts, which would have the effect of increasing overall expenses. Annuity and policy holders should consult the prospectus for their contract or policy for more information about such charges and fees.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total

Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board.

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund invests in financial instruments that ProFund Advisors believes, in combination, should produce daily returns consistent with the Daily Target.

The Index is designed to measure the performance of some of the largest U.S. companies. The Index includes 30 of the largest companies except those in the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) transportation industry group and utilities sectors. Companies may be included in the Index if the Index provider believes that the company has an excellent reputation, demonstrates sustained growth and is of interest to a large number of investors. The 30 companies selected are then weighted based on their price. Companies may be added or

removed from the Index at any time. 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 "DJI."

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will obtain inverse exposure to 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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 and futures contracts) in order to gain inverse exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Futures Contracts** — Standardized contracts that obligate the parties to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price and date in the future.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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 daily returns consistent with the Daily Target. For these purposes a day is measured from the time of one net asset value ("NAV") calculation to the next.

The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in financial instruments that, in combination, provide inverse exposure consistent with the investment objective, without regard to market conditions, trends or direction. However, the Fund may 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 inverse exposure consistent with the investment objective.

The Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio each day so that its exposure to the Index is consistent with the Daily Target. The Index's movements during the day will affect whether the Fund's portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the Index has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall (assuming there were no shares issued). As a result, the Fund's exposure will need to be decreased. Conversely, if the Index has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise (assuming there were no share redemptions). As a result, the Fund's exposure will need to be increased.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Short or Inverse Investing Risk** — You will lose money when the Index rises – a result that is the opposite from a traditional index fund. Obtaining inverse or "short" exposure may be considered an aggressive investment technique. The costs of obtaining this short exposure will lower your returns. If the level of the Index approaches a 100% increase at any point in the day, you could lose your entire investment. As a result, an investment in the Fund may not be suitable for all investors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Holding Period Risk** — The performance of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will likely differ from the Daily Target. This difference may be significant. **If you are considering holding fund shares for longer than a day, it's important that you understand the impact of the return and volatility (how much the value of the Index moves up and down from day-to-day) of the Index on your holding period return.** The volatility of the Index has a negative impact on Fund returns. During periods of higher volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the Fund's returns as much as or more than the return of the Index.

The following table illustrates the impact of the volatility and return of the Index on Fund returns for a hypothetical one-year period. However, these effects will impact your return for any holding period other than a day. **The longer you hold shares of the Fund, the more magnified these effects will be. As a result, you should consider monitoring your investments in the Fund in light of your individual investment goals and risk tolerance.** 

In the table areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than the Daily Target. As the table shows, your return will tend to be worse than the Daily Target when there are smaller gains or losses and higher volatility in the Index. Your return will tend to be better than the Daily Target when there are larger gains or losses and lower volatility in the Index. You may lose money

------

**ProFund VP Short Dow 30 :: 125**

when the return of the Index is flat (i.e., close to zero) and you may lose money when the Index falls.

The table uses hypothetical annualized volatility and returns of the Index to illustrate the impact of these two factors on Fund performance over a one-year period. It does not represent actual returns. Each row corresponds to the level of a hypothetical return of the Index for a one-year period. Each column corresponds to a level of hypothetical annualized volatility of the Index. For example, the Fund may mistakenly be expected to achieve a -20% return on a yearly basis if the annual return of the Index were 20%. However, as the table shows, with a one-year return of the Index of 20% and an annualized volatility of the Index of 50%, the Fund could be expected to return -35.1%.

Assumes: (a) no dividends paid with respect to securities included in the Index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain inverse exposure) of zero percent. If these were included the Fund's performance would be different from that shown.

The annualized historical volatility rate for the Index for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 14.70%. The highest December to December volatility rate for the Index during the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 19.80% (December 31, 2022). The annualized total return performance of the Index for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 11.57%. The historical volatility and performance of the Index do not predict future volatility and performance of the Index.

For more information, including additional graphs and charts demonstrating the effects of the volatility and return of the Index on the long-term performance of the Fund, see "Understanding the Risks and Long-Term Performance of a Daily Objective Fund" in the Fund's Prospectus.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its Daily Target. In addition, the Fund may not have inverse exposure to all of the instruments in the Index, its weighting of those instruments may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index. Moreover, if for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a portion of its investments, the Fund may have exposure to the Index that is significantly greater or less than the Daily Target. Any of these factors may prevent the Fund from achieving exposure consistent with the Daily Target.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Derivatives Risk** — Investing in derivatives to obtain inverse exposure may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. To the extent the Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, the Fund will be subject to the risks of that ETF including the risk that the ETF may not meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund may be subject to greater correlation risk since the performance of the ETF may not correlate to the performance of the Index. Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund's return.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Counterparty Risk** — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations. With respect to swap agreements, the terms of the agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund, including intraday (for example, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund's net assets). If an agreement is terminated, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Leverage Risk** — Leverage increases the risk of a total loss of an investor's investment, may increase the volatility of the Fund, and may magnify any differences between the performance of the Fund and the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs,

------

**126 :: ProFund VP Short Dow 30**

recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events. As a fund seeking daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the daily return of the Index, the value of an investment in the Fund is expected to decline when market conditions cause the level of the Index to rise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Money Market Instruments Risk** — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the financials and information technology industry groups.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Financials Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: extensive governmental regulation and/or nationalization that affects the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain; adverse effects from increases in interest rates; adverse effects on profitability by loan losses; and severe competition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Information Technology Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: intense competition, obsolescence of existing technology, and changing economic conditions and government regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may

increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Investment Results**

The bar chart below shows how the Fund's investment results have varied from year to year, and the table shows how the Fund's average annual total returns for various periods compare with different broad measures of market performance. This information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund's performance information reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. It does not reflect charges and fees associated with a separate account

Reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. Adjusted to reflect the reinvestment of dividends paid by issuers in the Index.

Annual returns are required to be shown and should not be interpreted as suggesting that the Fund should or should not be held for longer periods of time.

**Management**

The Fund is advised by ProFund Advisors. Michael Neches, Senior Portfolio Manager, and Devin Sullivan, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since October 2013 and March 2018, respectively.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares**

Shares are available for purchase by insurance company separate accounts to serve as an investment medium for variable insurance contracts, and by qualified pension and retirement plans, certain insurance companies, and ProFund Advisors. Investors do not contact the Fund directly to purchase or redeem shares. Please refer to the prospectus of the relevant separate account for information on the allocation of premiums and on transfers of accumulated value among sub-accounts of the separate accounts that invest in the Fund.

**Tax Information**

The Fund normally distributes its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. If you are a holder of a contract or policy that invests in the Fund through an insurance company separate account, then these distributions will generally not be taxable to you; please consult the prospectus or other information provided to you by the insurance company regarding the tax consequences of your contract or policy. If you are a holder of such a contract or policy, or if you are investing through a pension or retirement plan that is a tax-advantaged arrangement, you may be taxed later upon distributions with respect to or from those contracts or arrangements. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

**Payments to Insurance Companies and Other Financial Intermediaries**

The Fund or its distributor (and related companies) may pay insurance companies, which in turn may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks and insurance companies, or their related companies) for the sale and retention of variable contracts and/or policies which offer Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest for a financial intermediary selling such variable contracts and/or policies, or may be a factor in the insurance company's decision to include the Fund as an investment option in its variable contract or policy. For more information, ask your financial advisor, visit your financial intermediary's website or consult the prospectus for the contract or policy.

**128 :: ProFund VP Short Emerging Markets**

**Investment Objective**

ProFund VP Short Emerging Markets (the "Fund") seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the daily performance of the S&P<sup>®</sup> Emerging 50 ADR Index (USD) (the "Index").

**Important Information About the Fund**

If the Fund is successful in meeting its investment objective, it should gain approximately as much as the Index loses when the Index falls on a given day. Conversely, it should lose approximately as much as the Index gains when the Index rises on a given day. **The Fund does not seek to achieve the inverse (-1x) of the daily performance of the Index (the "Daily Target") for any period other than a day.**

While the Fund has a daily investment objective, you may hold Fund shares for longer than one day if you believe doing so is consistent with your goals and risk tolerance. **If you hold fund shares for any period other than a day, it is important for you to understand that over your holding period:** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Your return may be higher or lower than the Daily Target, and this difference may be significant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Factors that contribute to returns that are worse than the Daily Target include smaller Index gains or losses and higher Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Factors that contribute to returns that are better than the Daily Target include larger Index gains or losses and lower Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●The more extreme these factors are, and the more they occur together, the more your return will tend to deviate from the Daily Target.

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. The expenses shown do not reflect charges or fees associated with insurance company separate accounts or insurance contracts, which would have the effect of increasing overall expenses. Annuity and policy holders should consult the prospectus for their contract or policy for more information about such charges and fees.

The "Recoupment" line shows gross recoupment payments made by the Fund during its most recent fiscal year. In addition, at times during the fiscal year amounts were waived or reimbursed to the Fund - the gross amount of this waiver/reimbursement is shown separately in the "Fee Waivers/Reimbursements" line. The recoupment shown did not cause the Fund's expenses to exceed any expense limitation in place at the time of recoupment or the time the recouped amounts were originally waived/reimbursed.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board. Amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular contractual period may be recouped by ProFund Advisors within three years subject to certain limitations.

**Example:** This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. It does not reflect separate account or insurance contract fees or charges. If these charges were reflected, expenses would

be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

| ProFund VP Short <br> Emerging Markets<br>| $171 | $532 | $917 | $1997 |

---

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund invests in financial instruments that ProFund Advisors believes, in combination, should produce daily returns consistent with the Daily Target.

The Index is designed to measure the performance of companies domiciled in emerging markets and traded on U.S. exchanges. The Index includes companies that have ADRs, New York Shares, or Global Registered Shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq Stock Market. As of December 31, 2025, the Index included companies from the following countries: Brazil, Chile, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, South Korea, South Africa and Taiwan. The Index selects the top 50 companies based on market capitalization. Selected companies are then weighted based on market capitalization. The Index's composition and assigned weights are reevaluated quarterly 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 "BKTEM."

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will obtain inverse exposure to 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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 inverse exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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 daily returns consistent with the Daily Target. For these purposes a day is measured from the time of one net asset value ("NAV") calculation to the next.

The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in financial instruments that, in combination, provide inverse exposure consistent with the investment objective, without regard to market conditions, trends or direction. However, the Fund may 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 inverse exposure consistent with the investment objective.

The Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio each day so that its exposure to the Index is consistent with the Daily Target. The Index's movements during the day will affect whether the Fund's portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the Index has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall (assuming there were no shares issued). As a result, the Fund's exposure will need to be decreased. Conversely, if the Index has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise (assuming there were no share redemptions). As a result, the Fund's exposure will need to be increased.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Short or Inverse Investing Risk** — You will lose money when the Index rises – a result that is the opposite from a traditional index fund. Obtaining inverse or "short" exposure may be considered an aggressive investment technique. The costs of obtaining this short exposure will lower your returns. If the level of the Index approaches a 100% increase at any point in the day, you could lose your entire investment. As a result, an investment in the Fund may not be suitable for all investors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Holding Period Risk** — The performance of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will likely differ from the Daily Target. This difference may be significant. **If you are considering holding fund shares for longer than a day, it's important that you understand the impact of the return and volatility (how much the value of the Index moves up and down from day-to-day) of the Index on your holding period return.** The volatility of the Index has a negative impact on Fund returns. During periods of higher volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the Fund's returns as much as or more than the return of the Index.

The following table illustrates the impact of the volatility and return of the Index on Fund returns for a hypothetical one-year period. However, these effects will impact your return for any holding period other than a day. **The longer you hold shares of the Fund, the more magnified these effects will be. As a result, you should consider monitoring your investments in the Fund in light of your individual investment goals and risk tolerance.** 

In the table areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than the Daily Target. As the table shows, your return will tend to be worse than the Daily Target when there are smaller gains or losses and higher volatility in the Index. Your return will tend to be better than the Daily Target when there are larger gains or losses and lower volatility in the Index. You may lose money when the return of the Index is flat (i.e., close to zero) and you may lose money when the Index falls.

The table uses hypothetical annualized volatility and returns of the Index to illustrate the impact of these two factors on Fund performance over a one-year period. It does not represent actual returns. Each row corresponds to the level of a hypothetical return of the Index for a one-year period. Each column corresponds to a level of hypothetical annualized volatility of the Index. For example, the Fund may mistakenly be expected to achieve a -20% return on a yearly basis if the annual return of the Index were 20%. However, as the table shows, with a one-year return of the Index of 20% and an annualized volatility of the Index of 50%, the Fund could be expected to return -35.1%.

Assumes: (a) no dividends paid with respect to securities included in the Index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain inverse exposure) of zero percent. If these were included the Fund's performance would be different from that shown.

The annualized historical volatility rate for the Index for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 24.24%. The highest December to December volatility rate for the Index during the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 32.52% (December 31, 2022). The annualized total return performance of the Index for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 4.81%. The historical volatility and performance of the Index do not predict future volatility and performance of the Index.

For more information, including additional graphs and charts demonstrating the effects of the volatility and return of the Index on the long-term performance of the Fund, see "Understanding the Risks and Long-Term Performance of a Daily Objective Fund" in the Fund's Prospectus.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its Daily Target. In addition, the Fund may not have inverse exposure to all of the instruments in the Index, its weighting of those instruments may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index. Moreover, if for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a portion of its investments, the Fund may have exposure to the Index that is significantly greater or less than the Daily

------

**ProFund VP Short Emerging Markets :: 131**

Target. Any of these factors may prevent the Fund from achieving exposure consistent with the Daily Target.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Derivatives Risk** — Investing in derivatives to obtain inverse exposure may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. To the extent the Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, the Fund will be subject to the risks of that ETF including the risk that the ETF may not meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund may be subject to greater correlation risk since the performance of the ETF may not correlate to the performance of the Index. Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund's return.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Counterparty Risk** — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations. With respect to swap agreements, the terms of the agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund, including intraday (for example, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund's net assets). If an agreement is terminated, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Leverage Risk** — Leverage increases the risk of a total loss of an investor's investment, may increase the volatility of the Fund, and may magnify any differences between the performance of the Fund and the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Foreign Investments/Emerging Market Risk** — Exposure to securities of foreign issuers may provide the Fund with increased risk. Foreign investments may be more susceptible to political, social, economic and regional factors than may be the case with U.S. securities. In addition, markets for foreign investments are usually less liquid, more volatile and significantly smaller than markets for U.S. securities, which may affect, among other things, the Fund's ability to purchase or sell foreign investments at appropriate times and prices. Because of differences in settlement times and/or foreign market holidays, transactions in a foreign market may take place one or more days after the necessary exposure to these investments is determined.

Because the Fund's foreign investment exposure may include issuers domiciled in developing or "emerging market" countries, all the aforementioned factors are heightened. Investments in emerging markets are considered speculative.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or

expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events. As a fund seeking daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the daily return of the Index, the value of an investment in the Fund is expected to decline when market conditions cause the level of the Index to rise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Foreign Currency Risk** — Investments linked to or denominated in foreign currencies are exposed to additional risk factors versus those investments denominated in U.S. dollars and linked to U.S. investments. The value of an investment linked to or denominated in a foreign currency could change significantly as foreign currencies strengthen or weaken relative to the U.S. dollar.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Money Market Instruments Risk** — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the banks, retailing and semiconductors & semiconductor equipment industry groups.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Banks Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: extensive governmental regulation and/or nationalization; adverse effects on profitability due to increases in interest rates or loan losses; severe price competition; economic conditions; credit rating downgrades; and increased inter-sector consolidation and competition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Retailing Industry Risk** — Companies in this sector may experience: changes in domestic and international economies, consumer confidence, disposable household income and spending, consumer preferences, and competition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Semiconductors and Semiconductor Equipment Industry Risk** — Companies in this sector may experience: intense competition, wide fluctuations in securities prices due to risks of rapid obsolescence of products, significant research costs, and limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel.

------

**132 :: ProFund VP Short Emerging Markets**

Companies in this sector may also be affected by risks that affect the broader technology sector.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Geographic Concentration Risk** — Because the Fund focuses its investments in one or more foreign countries, an investment in the Fund may be more volatile than a more geographically diversified fund. The performance of the Fund will be affected by the political, social and economic conditions in those foreign countries and subject to the related risks. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in China, India and Taiwan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Chinese Investments Risk** — Investments in securities of issuers in China include risks such as, less developed or less efficient trading markets; currency fluctuations or blockage; nationalization of assets; limits on repatriation; institution of tariffs or other trade barriers; uncertainty surrounding trading suspensions; and a lack of publicly available information China is an emerging market and demonstrates significantly higher volatility from time to time in comparison to developed markets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Indian Investments Risk** — Investments in securities of issuers in India include risks such as, greater government control over the economy, including the risk that the Indian government may decide not to continue to support economic reform programs, political and legal uncertainty, competition from low-cost issuers of other emerging economies, institution of tariffs or other trade barriers, currency fluctuations or blockage of foreign currency exchanges and the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets. India has been prone to natural disasters, such as earthquakes and tsunamis which could have a significant negative impact on its economy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Taiwanese Investments Risk** — Investments in securities of issuers in Taiwan are subject to risks, including, but not limited to, legal, regulatory, political, currency and economic risks that are specific to Taiwan. Specifically, Taiwan's geographic proximity and history of political contention with China have resulted in ongoing tensions between the two countries, which may materially affect the Taiwanese companies. Investments in securities of Taiwanese companies are subject to Taiwan's heavy dependence on exports. Reductions in spending on Taiwanese products and services, labor shortages, institution of tariffs or other trade barriers, or a downturn in any of the economies of Taiwan's key trading partners, including the United States, may have an adverse impact on the Taiwanese economy and the values of Taiwanese companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error. For an Index with exposure to foreign, and especially emerging markets, there may be heightened risks associated with the adequacy and reliability of the information used to calculate the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Investment Results**

The bar chart below shows how the Fund's investment results have varied from year to year, and the table shows how the Fund's average annual total returns for various periods compare with different broad measures of market performance. This information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund's performance information reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. It does not reflect charges and fees associated with a separate account that invests in the Fund or any insurance contract for which it is an investment option. Charges and fees will reduce returns. Past results are not predictive of future results.

Reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. Returns are gross returns that do not reflect the reduction of any withholding taxes, and are adjusted to reflect the reinvestment of dividends paid by companies in the Index.

Annual returns are required to be shown and should not be interpreted as suggesting that the Fund should or should not be held for longer periods of time.

**Management**

The Fund is advised by ProFund Advisors. Alexander Ilyasov, Senior Portfolio Manager, and Eric Silverthorne, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since August 2020 and March 2023, respectively.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares**

Shares are available for purchase by insurance company separate accounts to serve as an investment medium for variable insurance contracts, and by qualified pension and retirement plans, certain insurance companies, and ProFund Advisors. Investors do not contact the Fund directly to purchase or redeem shares. Please refer to the prospectus of the relevant separate account for information on the allocation of premiums and on transfers of accumulated value among sub-accounts of the separate accounts that invest in the Fund.

**Tax Information**

The Fund normally distributes its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. If you are a holder of a contract or policy that invests in the Fund through an insurance company separate account, then these distributions will generally not be taxable to you; please consult the prospectus or other information provided to you by the insurance company regarding the tax consequences of your contract or policy. If you are a holder of such a contract or policy, or if you are investing through a pension or retirement plan that is a tax-advantaged arrangement, you may be taxed later upon distributions with respect to or from those contracts or arrangements. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

**Payments to Insurance Companies and Other Financial Intermediaries**

The Fund or its distributor (and related companies) may pay insurance companies, which in turn may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks and insurance companies, or their related companies) for the sale and retention of variable contracts and/or policies which offer Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest for a financial intermediary selling such variable contracts and/or policies, or may be a factor in the insurance company's decision to include the Fund as an investment option in its variable contract or policy. For more information, ask your financial advisor, visit your financial intermediary's website or consult the prospectus for the contract or policy.

**134 :: ProFund VP Short International**

**Investment Objective**

ProFund VP Short International (the "Fund") seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the daily performance of the MSCI EAFE Index (the "Index").

The Fund determines its success in meeting this investment objective by comparing its daily return on a given day with the inverse (-1x) of the daily performance of MSCI EAFE futures contracts traded in the United States.

**Important Information About the Fund**

If the Fund is successful in meeting its investment objective, it should gain approximately as much as the Index loses when the Index falls on a given day. Conversely, it should lose approximately as much as the Index gains when the Index rises on a given day. **The Fund does not seek to achieve the inverse (-1x) of the daily performance of the Index (the "Daily Target") for any period other than a day.**

While the Fund has a daily investment objective, you may hold Fund shares for longer than one day if you believe doing so is consistent with your goals and risk tolerance. **If you hold fund shares for any period other than a day, it is important for you to understand that over your holding period:** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Your return may be higher or lower than the Daily Target, and this difference may be significant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Factors that contribute to returns that are worse than the Daily Target include smaller Index gains or losses and higher Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Factors that contribute to returns that are better than the Daily Target include larger Index gains or losses and lower Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●The more extreme these factors are, and the more they occur together, the more your return will tend to deviate from the Daily Target.

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. The expenses shown do not reflect charges or fees associated with insurance company separate accounts or insurance contracts, which would have the effect of increasing overall expenses. Annuity and policy holders should consult the prospectus for their contract or policy for more information about such charges and fees.

| Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees | 0.25% |
| Other Expenses | 0.62% |
| **Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses**<sup>1</sup> | **1.62%** |

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board. Amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular contractual period may be recouped by ProFund Advisors within three years subject to certain limitations.

**Example:** This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. It does not reflect separate account or insurance contract fees or charges. If these charges were reflected, expenses would be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | 1 Year | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years |
| ProFund VP Short <br> International<br>| $165 | $511 | $881 | $1922 |

---

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund invests in financial instruments that ProFund Advisors believes, in combination, should produce daily returns consistent with the Daily Target.

The Index is designed to measure the performance of large and mid-capitalization companies across 21 developed market countries around the world, excluding the U.S. and Canada. As of December 31, 2025, the Index included companies from the following countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. The Index seeks to include 85% of the market capitalization across those

------

**ProFund VP Short International :: 135**

countries and selects companies based on their market capitalization and liquidity. These companies are then weighted based on market capitalization. The Index's composition and assigned weights are reevaluated semi-annually in May and November with a more limited reevaluation occurring in February and August. The Index is constructed and maintained by MSCI Inc. More information about the Index can be found using the Bloomberg ticker symbol "MXEA."

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will obtain inverse exposure to 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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 and futures contracts) in order to gain inverse exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Futures Contracts** — Standardized contracts that obligate the parties to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price and date in the future.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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 daily returns consistent with the Daily Target. For these purposes a day is measured from the time of one net asset value ("NAV") calculation to the next.

The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in financial instruments that, in combination, provide inverse exposure

consistent with the investment objective, without regard to market conditions, trends or direction. However, the Fund may 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 inverse exposure consistent with the investment objective.

The Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio each day so that its exposure to the Index is consistent with the Daily Target. The Index's movements during the day will affect whether the Fund's portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the Index has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall (assuming there were no shares issued). As a result, the Fund's exposure will need to be decreased. Conversely, if the Index has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise (assuming there were no share redemptions). As a result, the Fund's exposure will need to be increased.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Short or Inverse Investing Risk** — You will lose money when the Index rises – a result that is the opposite from a traditional index fund. Obtaining inverse or "short" exposure may be considered an aggressive investment technique. The costs of obtaining this short exposure will lower your returns. If the level of the Index approaches a 100% increase at any point in the day, you could lose your entire investment. As a result, an investment in the Fund may not be suitable for all investors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Holding Period Risk** — The performance of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will likely differ from the Daily Target. This difference may be significant. **If you are considering holding fund shares for longer than a day, it's important that you understand the impact of the return and volatility (how much the value of the Index moves up and down from day-to-day) of the Index on your holding period return.** The volatility of the Index has a negative impact on Fund returns. During periods of higher volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the Fund's returns as much as or more than the return of the Index.

The following table illustrates the impact of the volatility and return of the Index on Fund returns for a hypothetical one-year period. However, these effects will impact your return for any holding period other than a day. **The longer you hold shares of the Fund, the more magnified these effects will be. As a result, you should consider monitoring your investments in the Fund in light of your individual investment goals and risk tolerance.** 

In the table areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than the Daily Target. As the table shows, your return will tend to be worse than the Daily Target when there are smaller gains or losses and higher volatility in the Index. Your return will tend to be

------

**136 :: ProFund VP Short International**

better than the Daily Target when there are larger gains or losses and lower volatility in the Index. You may lose money when the return of the Index is flat (i.e., close to zero) and you may lose money when the Index falls.

The table uses hypothetical annualized volatility and returns of the Index to illustrate the impact of these two factors on Fund performance over a one-year period. It does not represent actual returns. Each row corresponds to the level of a hypothetical return of the Index for a one-year period. Each column corresponds to a level of hypothetical annualized volatility of the Index. For example, the Fund may mistakenly be expected to achieve a -20% return on a yearly basis if the annual return of the Index were 20%. However, as the table shows, with a one-year return of the Index of 20% and an annualized volatility of the Index of 50%, the Fund could be expected to return -35.1%.

Assumes: (a) no dividends paid with respect to securities included in the Index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain inverse exposure) of zero percent. If these were included the Fund's performance would be different from that shown.

The annualized historical volatility rate for the Index for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 14.88%. The highest December to December volatility rate for the Index during the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 20.19% (December 31, 2022). The annualized total return performance of the Index for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 8.92%. The historical volatility and performance of the Index do not predict future volatility and performance of the Index.

For more information, including additional graphs and charts demonstrating the effects of the volatility and return of the Index on the long-term performance of the Fund, see

"Understanding the Risks and Long-Term Performance of a Daily Objective Fund" in the Fund's Prospectus.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its Daily Target. In addition, the Fund may not have inverse exposure to all of the instruments in the Index, its weighting of those instruments may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index. Moreover, if for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a portion of its investments, the Fund may have exposure to the Index that is significantly greater or less than the Daily Target. Any of these factors may prevent the Fund from achieving exposure consistent with the Daily Target.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Derivatives Risk** — Investing in derivatives to obtain inverse exposure may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. To the extent the Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, the Fund will be subject to the risks of that ETF including the risk that the ETF may not meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund may be subject to greater correlation risk since the performance of the ETF may not correlate to the performance of the Index. Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund's return.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Counterparty Risk** — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations. With respect to swap agreements, the terms of the agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund, including intraday (for example, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund's net assets). If an agreement is terminated, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Leverage Risk** — Leverage increases the risk of a total loss of an investor's investment, may increase the volatility of the Fund, and may magnify any differences between the performance of the Fund and the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Foreign Investments Risk** — Exposure to securities of foreign issuers may provide the Fund with increased risk. Foreign investments may be more susceptible to political, social, economic and regional factors than may be the case with U.S. securities. In addition, markets for foreign investments are usually less liquid, more volatile and significantly smaller than markets for U.S. securities, which may affect, among other things, the Fund's ability to purchase or sell foreign investments at appropriate times and prices.

------

**ProFund VP Short International :: 137**

Because of differences in settlement times and/or foreign market holidays, transactions in a foreign market may take place one or more days after the necessary exposure to these investments is determined.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events. As a fund seeking daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the daily return of the Index, the value of an investment in the Fund is expected to decline when market conditions cause the level of the Index to rise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Foreign Currency Risk** — Investments linked to or denominated in foreign currencies are exposed to additional risk factors versus those investments denominated in U.S. dollars and linked to U.S. investments. The value of an investment linked to or denominated in a foreign currency could change significantly as foreign currencies strengthen or weaken relative to the U.S. dollar.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Money Market Instruments Risk** — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the financials and industrials industry groups.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Financials Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: extensive governmental regulation and/or nationalization that affects the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain; adverse effects from increases in interest rates; adverse effects on profitability by loan losses; and severe competition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Industrials Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: adverse effects on stock prices by supply and demand both for their specific product or service and for industrials industry products in general; declining demand; and changing government regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Geographic Concentration Risk** — Because the Fund focuses its investments in one or more foreign countries, an investment in the Fund may be more volatile than a more geographically diversified fund. The performance of the Fund will be affected by the political, social and economic conditions in those foreign countries and subject to the related risks. As of December 31, 2025, the Index also had a significant portion of its value in issuers in Japan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Japanese Investments Risk** — Investments in Japan are subject to risks including, but not limited to political, economic, or social instability in Japan; risks associated with Japan's large government deficit; the prevalence and likelihood of natural disasters in Japan; and heavy dependence on international trade and reliant on imports for its commodity needs. Because of its trade dependence, the Japanese economy is particularly exposed to the risks of currency fluctuation, foreign trade policy and regional and global economic disruption, including the risk of increased tariffs, embargoes, and other trade limitations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying

------

**138 :: ProFund VP Short International**

the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Valuation Time Risk** — Due to differences in trading hours between U.S. and foreign markets and because the level of the Index may be determined using prices obtained at times other than the Fund's net asset value ("NAV") calculation time, the percentage change of the Fund's NAV per share each day may differ, perhaps significantly, from the Daily Target. This is due primarily to the time difference in determining the level of the Index (11:30 a.m., Eastern Time) and valuation of the Fund (4:00 p.m., Eastern Time). As such, correlation to the Index will generally be measured by comparing the daily change in the Fund's NAV per share to the performance of one or more U.S. exchange-traded securities or financial instruments that reflect the values of the securities underlying the Index as of the Fund's NAV calculation time. In addition, in certain cases, the Fund's portfolio investments trade in markets on days and at times when the Fund is not open for business. As a result, the value of the Fund may change, perhaps significantly, on days and at times when shareholders are unable to purchase, redeem, or exchange shares.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Investment Results**

The bar chart below shows how the Fund's investment results have varied from year to year, and the table shows how the Fund's average annual total returns for various periods compare with a broad measure of market performance. This information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund's performance information reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. It does not reflect charges and fees associated with a separate account that invests in the Fund or any insurance contract for which it is an investment

option. Charges and fees will reduce returns. Past results are not predictive of future results.

Reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. Returns are gross returns that do not reflect the reduction of any withholding taxes, and are adjusted to reflect the reinvestment of dividends paid by companies in the Index.

Annual returns are required to be shown and should not be interpreted as suggesting that the Fund should or should not be held for longer periods of time.

**Management**

The Fund is advised by ProFund Advisors. Alexander Ilyasov, Senior Portfolio Manager, and Eric Silverthorne, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since August 2020 and March 2023, respectively.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares**

Shares are available for purchase by insurance company separate accounts to serve as an investment medium for variable insurance contracts, and by qualified pension and retirement plans, certain insurance companies, and ProFund Advisors. Investors do not contact the Fund directly to purchase or redeem shares. Please refer to the prospectus of the relevant separate account for information on the allocation of premiums and on transfers of accumulated value among sub-accounts of the separate accounts that invest in the Fund.

**ProFund VP Short International :: 139**

**Tax Information**

The Fund normally distributes its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. If you are a holder of a contract or policy that invests in the Fund through an insurance company separate account, then these distributions will generally not be taxable to you; please consult the prospectus or other information provided to you by the insurance company regarding the tax consequences of your contract or policy. If you are a holder of such a contract or policy, or if you are investing through a pension or retirement plan that is a tax-advantaged arrangement, you may be taxed later upon distributions with respect to or from those contracts or arrangements. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

**Payments to Insurance Companies and Other Financial Intermediaries**

The Fund or its distributor (and related companies) may pay insurance companies, which in turn may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks and insurance companies, or their related companies) for the sale and retention of variable contracts and/or policies which offer Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest for a financial intermediary selling such variable contracts and/or policies, or may be a factor in the insurance company's decision to include the Fund as an investment option in its variable contract or policy. For more information, ask your financial advisor, visit your financial intermediary's website or consult the prospectus for the contract or policy.

**140 :: ProFund VP Short Mid-Cap**

**Investment Objective**

ProFund VP Short Mid-Cap (the "Fund") seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the daily performance of the S&P MidCap 400<sup>®</sup> Index (the "Index").

**Important Information About the Fund**

If the Fund is successful in meeting its investment objective, it should gain approximately as much as the Index loses when the Index falls on a given day. Conversely, it should lose approximately as much as the Index gains when the Index rises on a given day. **The Fund does not seek to achieve the inverse (-1x) of the daily performance of the Index (the "Daily Target") for any period other than a day.**

While the Fund has a daily investment objective, you may hold Fund shares for longer than one day if you believe doing so is consistent with your goals and risk tolerance. **If you hold fund shares for any period other than a day, it is important for you to understand that over your holding period:** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Your return may be higher or lower than the Daily Target, and this difference may be significant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Factors that contribute to returns that are worse than the Daily Target include smaller Index gains or losses and higher Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Factors that contribute to returns that are better than the Daily Target include larger Index gains or losses and lower Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●The more extreme these factors are, and the more they occur together, the more your return will tend to deviate from the Daily Target.

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. The expenses shown do not reflect charges or fees associated with insurance company separate accounts or insurance contracts, which would have the effect of increasing overall expenses. Annuity and policy holders should consult the prospectus for their contract or policy for more information about such charges and fees.

---

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board. Amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular contractual period may be recouped by ProFund Advisors within three years subject to certain limitations.

**Example:** This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. It does not reflect separate account or insurance contract fees or charges. If these charges were reflected, expenses would be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

---

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund invests in financial instruments that ProFund Advisors believes, in combination, should produce daily returns consistent with the Daily Target.

The Index is designed to measure the performance of mid-cap companies listed and domiciled in the U.S. The Index selects 400 companies based on market capitalization. As of December 31, 2025, the market capitalization of companies in the Index was between $503 million and $33 billion. The selected companies are then weighted based on market capitalization. The Index's composition and the assigned weights are reevaluated every September with additional weight adjustments in March, June,

------

**ProFund VP Short Mid-Cap :: 141**

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 "MID."

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will obtain inverse exposure to 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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 and futures contracts) in order to gain inverse exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Futures Contracts** — Standardized contracts that obligate the parties to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price and date in the future.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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 daily returns consistent with the Daily Target. For these purposes a day is measured from the time of one net asset value ("NAV") calculation to the next.

The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in financial instruments that, in combination, provide inverse exposure consistent with the investment objective, without regard to market conditions, trends or direction. However, the Fund may 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 inverse exposure consistent with the investment objective.

The Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio each day so that its exposure to the Index is consistent with the Daily Target. The Index's movements during the day will affect whether the Fund's portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the Index has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall (assuming there were no shares issued). As a result, the Fund's exposure will need to be decreased. Conversely, if the Index has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise (assuming there were no share redemptions). As a result, the Fund's exposure will need to be increased.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Short or Inverse Investing Risk** — You will lose money when the Index rises – a result that is the opposite from a traditional index fund. Obtaining inverse or "short" exposure may be considered an aggressive investment technique. The costs of obtaining this short exposure will lower your returns. If the level of the Index approaches a 100% increase at any point in the day, you could lose your entire investment. As a result, an investment in the Fund may not be suitable for all investors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Holding Period Risk** — The performance of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will likely differ from the Daily Target. This difference may be significant. **If you are considering holding fund shares for longer than a day, it's important that you understand the impact of the return and volatility (how much the value of the Index moves up and down from day-to-day) of the Index on your holding period return.** The volatility of the Index has a negative impact on Fund returns. During periods of higher volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the Fund's returns as much as or more than the return of the Index.

The following table illustrates the impact of the volatility and return of the Index on Fund returns for a hypothetical one-year period. However, these effects will impact your return for any holding period other than a day. **The longer you hold shares of the Fund, the more magnified these effects will be. As a result, you should consider monitoring your investments in the Fund in light of your individual investment goals and risk tolerance.** 

In the table areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than the Daily Target. As the table shows, your return will tend to be worse than the Daily Target when there are smaller gains or losses and higher volatility in the Index. Your return will tend to be better than the Daily Target when there are larger gains or

------

**142 :: ProFund VP Short Mid-Cap**

losses and lower volatility in the Index. You may lose money when the return of the Index is flat (i.e., close to zero) and you may lose money when the Index falls.

The table uses hypothetical annualized volatility and returns of the Index to illustrate the impact of these two factors on Fund performance over a one-year period. It does not represent actual returns. Each row corresponds to the level of a hypothetical return of the Index for a one-year period. Each column corresponds to a level of hypothetical annualized volatility of the Index. For example, the Fund may mistakenly be expected to achieve a -20% return on a yearly basis if the annual return of the Index were 20%. However, as the table shows, with a one-year return of the Index of 20% and an annualized volatility of the Index of 50%, the Fund could be expected to return -35.1%.

Assumes: (a) no dividends paid with respect to securities included in the Index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain inverse exposure) of zero percent. If these were included the Fund's performance would be different from that shown.

The annualized historical volatility rate for the Index for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 19.89%. The highest December to December volatility rate for the Index during the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 25.78% (December 31, 2022). The annualized total return performance of the Index for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 9.11%. The historical volatility and performance of the Index do not predict future volatility and performance of the Index.

For more information, including additional graphs and charts demonstrating the effects of the volatility and return of the Index on the long-term performance of the Fund, see "Understanding the Risks and Long-Term Performance of a Daily Objective Fund" in the Fund's Prospectus.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its Daily Target. In addition, the Fund may not have inverse exposure to all of the instruments in the Index, its weighting of those instruments may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index. Moreover, if for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a portion of its investments, the Fund may have exposure to the Index that is significantly greater or less than the Daily Target. Any of these factors may prevent the Fund from achieving exposure consistent with the Daily Target.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Derivatives Risk** — Investing in derivatives to obtain inverse exposure may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. To the extent the Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, the Fund will be subject to the risks of that ETF including the risk that the ETF may not meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund may be subject to greater correlation risk since the performance of the ETF may not correlate to the performance of the Index. Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund's return.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Counterparty Risk** — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations. With respect to swap agreements, the terms of the agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund, including intraday (for example, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund's net assets). If an agreement is terminated, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Leverage Risk** — Leverage increases the risk of a total loss of an investor's investment, may increase the volatility of the Fund, and may magnify any differences between the performance of the Fund and the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Mid-Cap Company Investment Risk** — The risk of equity investing may be particularly acute for securities of issuers with smaller market capitalizations. Mid-cap companies may have limited product lines or resources, may be dependent upon a particular market niche and may have greater fluctuations in price than the stocks of larger companies. Mid-cap companies may lack the financial and personnel resources to handle economic or industry-wide setbacks and, as a result, such setbacks could have a greater effect on mid-cap security prices. Additionally, mid-cap company stocks may trade at greater spreads or lower trading volumes, and may be less liquid than the stocks of larger companies. Further, stocks of

------

**ProFund VP Short Mid-Cap :: 143**

mid-sized companies could be more difficult to liquidate during market downturns compared to larger, more widely traded companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events. As a fund seeking daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the daily return of the Index, the value of an investment in the Fund is expected to decline when market conditions cause the level of the Index to rise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Money Market Instruments Risk** — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the financials and industrials industry groups.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Financials Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: extensive governmental regulation and/or nationalization that affects the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain; adverse effects from increases in interest rates; adverse effects on profitability by loan losses; and severe competition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Industrials Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: adverse effects on stock prices by supply and demand both for their specific product or service

and for industrials industry products in general; declining demand; and changing government regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Investment Results**

The bar chart below shows how the Fund's investment results have varied from year to year, and the table shows how the Fund's average annual total returns for various periods compare with different broad measures of market performance. This information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund's performance information reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. It does not reflect charges and fees associated with a separate account that invests in the Fund or any insurance contract for which it is an investment option. Charges and fees will reduce returns. Past results are not predictive of future results.

Reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. Adjusted to reflect the reinvestment of dividends paid by issuers in the Index.

Annual returns are required to be shown and should not be interpreted as suggesting that the Fund should or should not be held for longer periods of time.

**Management**

The Fund is advised by ProFund Advisors. Michael Neches, Senior Portfolio Manager, and Devin Sullivan, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since October 2013 and March 2018, respectively.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares**

Shares are available for purchase by insurance company separate accounts to serve as an investment medium for variable

insurance contracts, and by qualified pension and retirement plans, certain insurance companies, and ProFund Advisors. Investors do not contact the Fund directly to purchase or redeem shares. Please refer to the prospectus of the relevant separate account for information on the allocation of premiums and on transfers of accumulated value among sub-accounts of the separate accounts that invest in the Fund.

**Tax Information**

The Fund normally distributes its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. If you are a holder of a contract or policy that invests in the Fund through an insurance company separate account, then these distributions will generally not be taxable to you; please consult the prospectus or other information provided to you by the insurance company regarding the tax consequences of your contract or policy. If you are a holder of such a contract or policy, or if you are investing through a pension or retirement plan that is a tax-advantaged arrangement, you may be taxed later upon distributions with respect to or from those contracts or arrangements. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

**Payments to Insurance Companies and Other Financial Intermediaries**

The Fund or its distributor (and related companies) may pay insurance companies, which in turn may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks and insurance companies, or their related companies) for the sale and retention of variable contracts and/or policies which offer Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest for a financial intermediary selling such variable contracts and/or policies, or may be a factor in the insurance company's decision to include the Fund as an investment option in its variable contract or policy. For more information, ask your financial advisor, visit your financial intermediary's website or consult the prospectus for the contract or policy.

**ProFund VP Short Nasdaq-100 :: 145**

**Investment Objective**

ProFund VP Short Nasdaq-100 (the "Fund") seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the daily performance of the Nasdaq-100<sup>®</sup> Index (the "Index").

**Important Information About the Fund**

If the Fund is successful in meeting its investment objective, it should gain approximately as much as the Index loses when the Index falls on a given day. Conversely, it should lose approximately as much as the Index gains when the Index rises on a given day. **The Fund does not seek to achieve the inverse (-1x) of the daily performance of the Index (the "Daily Target") for any period other than a day.**

While the Fund has a daily investment objective, you may hold Fund shares for longer than one day if you believe doing so is consistent with your goals and risk tolerance. **If you hold fund shares for any period other than a day, it is important for you to understand that over your holding period:** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Your return may be higher or lower than the Daily Target, and this difference may be significant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Factors that contribute to returns that are worse than the Daily Target include smaller Index gains or losses and higher Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Factors that contribute to returns that are better than the Daily Target include larger Index gains or losses and lower Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●The more extreme these factors are, and the more they occur together, the more your return will tend to deviate from the Daily Target.

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. The expenses shown do not reflect charges or fees associated with insurance company separate accounts or insurance contracts, which would have the effect of increasing overall expenses. Annuity and policy holders should consult the prospectus for their contract or policy for more information about such charges and fees.

---

The "Recoupment" line shows gross recoupment payments made by the Fund during its most recent fiscal year. In addition, at times during the fiscal year amounts were waived or reimbursed to the Fund - the gross amount of this waiver/reimbursement is shown separately in the "Fee Waivers/Reimbursements" line. The recoupment shown did not cause the Fund's expenses to exceed any expense limitation in place at the time of recoupment or the time the recouped amounts were originally waived/reimbursed.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board. Amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular contractual period may be recouped by ProFund Advisors within three years subject to certain limitations.

**Example:** This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. It does not reflect separate account or insurance contract fees or charges. If these charges were reflected, expenses would

**146 :: ProFund VP Short Nasdaq-100**

be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

| ProFund VP Short <br> Nasdaq-100<br>| $171 | $544 | $942 | $2057 |

---

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund invests in financial instruments that ProFund Advisors believes, in combination, should produce daily returns consistent with the Daily Target.

The Index is designed to measure the performance of 100 of the largest Nasdaq-listed non-financial companies. The Index includes non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or the Nasdaq Global Market (which include both U.S. and non-U.S. companies). The top 100 companies based on market capitalization are included in the Index. These companies are then weighted based on market capitalization. The Index's composition and the assigned weights are reevaluated every December, with additional weight adjustments occurring in March, June, and September. The Index is constructed and maintained by Nasdaq Inc. More information about the Index can be found using the Bloomberg ticker symbol "NDX."

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will obtain inverse exposure to 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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 and futures contracts) in order to gain inverse exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Futures Contracts** — Standardized contracts that obligate the parties to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price and date in the future.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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 daily returns consistent with the Daily Target. For these purposes a day is measured from the time of one net asset value ("NAV") calculation to the next.

The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in financial instruments that, in combination, provide inverse exposure consistent with the investment objective, without regard to market conditions, trends or direction. However, the Fund may 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 inverse exposure consistent with the investment objective.

The Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio each day so that its exposure to the Index is consistent with the Daily Target. The Index's movements during the day will affect whether the Fund's portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the Index has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall (assuming there were no shares issued). As a result, the Fund's exposure will need to be decreased. Conversely, if the Index has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise (assuming there were no share redemptions). As a result, the Fund's exposure will need to be increased.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**ProFund VP Short Nasdaq-100 :: 147**

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Short or Inverse Investing Risk** — You will lose money when the Index rises – a result that is the opposite from a traditional index fund. Obtaining inverse or "short" exposure may be considered an aggressive investment technique. The costs of obtaining this short exposure will lower your returns. If the level of the Index approaches a 100% increase at any point in the day, you could lose your entire investment. As a result, an investment in the Fund may not be suitable for all investors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Holding Period Risk** — The performance of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will likely differ from the Daily Target. This difference may be significant. **If you are considering holding fund shares for longer than a day, it's important that you understand the impact of the return and volatility (how much the value of the Index moves up and down from day-to-day) of the Index on your holding period return.** The volatility of the Index has a negative impact on Fund returns. During periods of higher volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the Fund's returns as much as or more than the return of the Index.

The following table illustrates the impact of the volatility and return of the Index on Fund returns for a hypothetical one-year period. However, these effects will impact your return for any holding period other than a day. **The longer you hold shares of the Fund, the more magnified these effects will be. As a result, you should consider monitoring your investments in the Fund in light of your individual investment goals and risk tolerance.** 

In the table areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than the Daily Target. As the table shows, your return will tend to be worse than the Daily Target when there are smaller gains or losses and higher volatility in the Index. Your return will tend to be better than the Daily Target when there are larger gains or losses and lower volatility in the Index. You may lose money when the return of the Index is flat (i.e., close to zero) and you may lose money when the Index falls.

The table uses hypothetical annualized volatility and returns of the Index to illustrate the impact of these two factors on Fund performance over a one-year period. It does not represent actual returns. Each row corresponds to the level of a hypothetical return of the Index for a one-year period. Each column corresponds to a level of hypothetical annualized volatility of the Index. For example, the Fund may mistakenly be expected to achieve a -20% return on a yearly basis if the annual return of the Index were 20%. However, as the table shows, with a one-year return of the Index of 20% and an annualized volatility of the Index of 50%, the Fund could be expected to return -35.1%.

Assumes: (a) no dividends paid with respect to securities included in the Index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain inverse exposure) of zero percent. If these were included the Fund's performance would be different from that shown.

The annualized historical volatility rate for the Index for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 22.92%. The highest December to December volatility rate for the Index during the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 32.49% (December 31, 2022). The annualized total return performance of the Index for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 15.29%. The historical volatility and performance of the Index do not predict future volatility and performance of the Index.

For more information, including additional graphs and charts demonstrating the effects of the volatility and return of the Index on the long-term performance of the Fund, see "Understanding the Risks and Long-Term Performance of a Daily Objective Fund" in the Fund's Prospectus.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its Daily Target. In addition, the Fund may not have inverse exposure to all of the instruments in the Index, its weighting of those instruments may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index. Moreover, if for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a portion of its investments, the Fund may have exposure to the Index that is significantly greater or less than the Daily

------

**148 :: ProFund VP Short Nasdaq-100**

Target. Any of these factors may prevent the Fund from achieving exposure consistent with the Daily Target.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Derivatives Risk** — Investing in derivatives to obtain inverse exposure may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. To the extent the Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, the Fund will be subject to the risks of that ETF including the risk that the ETF may not meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund may be subject to greater correlation risk since the performance of the ETF may not correlate to the performance of the Index. Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund's return.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Counterparty Risk** — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations. With respect to swap agreements, the terms of the agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund, including intraday (for example, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund's net assets). If an agreement is terminated, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Leverage Risk** — Leverage increases the risk of a total loss of an investor's investment, may increase the volatility of the Fund, and may magnify any differences between the performance of the Fund and the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events. As a fund seeking daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the daily return of the Index, the value of an investment in the Fund is expected to decline when market conditions cause the level of the Index to rise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Money Market Instruments Risk** — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market

instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the communication services and information technology industry groups.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Communication Services Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: product obsolescence; increased research and development costs and capital requirements to formulate new products and services; and regulation by the Federal Communications Commission and various state regulatory authorities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Information Technology Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: intense competition, obsolescence of existing technology, and changing economic conditions and government regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

Annual returns are required to be shown and should not be interpreted as suggesting that the Fund should or should not be held for longer periods of time.

**Management**

The Fund is advised by ProFund Advisors. Michael Neches, Senior Portfolio Manager, and Devin Sullivan, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since October 2013 and March 2018, respectively.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares**

Shares are available for purchase by insurance company separate accounts to serve as an investment medium for variable insurance contracts, and by qualified pension and retirement plans, certain insurance companies, and ProFund Advisors. Investors do not contact the Fund directly to purchase or redeem shares. Please refer to the prospectus of the relevant separate account for information on the allocation of premiums and on transfers of accumulated value among sub-accounts of the separate accounts that invest in the Fund.

**Tax Information**

The Fund normally distributes its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. If you are a holder of a contract or policy that invests in the Fund through an insurance company separate account, then these distributions will generally not be taxable to you; please consult the prospectus or other information provided to you by the insurance company regarding the tax consequences of your contract or policy. If you are a holder of such a contract or policy, or if you are investing through a pension or retirement plan that is a tax-advantaged arrangement, you may be taxed later upon distributions with respect to or from those contracts or arrangements. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

**Payments to Insurance Companies and Other Financial Intermediaries**

The Fund or its distributor (and related companies) may pay insurance companies, which in turn may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks and insurance companies, or their related companies) for the sale and retention of variable contracts and/or policies which offer Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest for a financial intermediary selling such variable contracts and/or policies, or may be a factor in the insurance company's decision to include the Fund as an investment option in its variable contract or policy. For more information, ask your financial advisor, visit your financial intermediary's website or consult the prospectus for the contract or policy.

**150 :: ProFund VP Short Small-Cap**

**Investment Objective**

ProFund VP Short Small-Cap (the "Fund") seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the daily performance of the Russell 2000<sup>®</sup> Index (the "Index").

**Important Information About the Fund**

If the Fund is successful in meeting its investment objective, it should gain approximately as much as the Index loses when the Index falls on a given day. Conversely, it should lose approximately as much as the Index gains when the Index rises on a given day. **The Fund does not seek to achieve the inverse (-1x) of the daily performance of the Index (the "Daily Target") for any period other than a day.**

While the Fund has a daily investment objective, you may hold Fund shares for longer than one day if you believe doing so is consistent with your goals and risk tolerance. **If you hold fund shares for any period other than a day, it is important for you to understand that over your holding period:** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Your return may be higher or lower than the Daily Target, and this difference may be significant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Factors that contribute to returns that are worse than the Daily Target include smaller Index gains or losses and higher Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Factors that contribute to returns that are better than the Daily Target include larger Index gains or losses and lower Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●The more extreme these factors are, and the more they occur together, the more your return will tend to deviate from the Daily Target.

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. The expenses shown do not reflect charges or fees associated with insurance company separate accounts or insurance contracts, which would have the effect of increasing overall expenses. Annuity and policy holders should consult the prospectus for their contract or policy for more information about such charges and fees.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to

waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board. Amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular contractual period may be recouped by ProFund Advisors within three years subject to certain limitations.

**Example:** This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. It does not reflect separate account or insurance contract fees or charges. If these charges were reflected, expenses would be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | 1 Year | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years |
| ProFund VP Short <br> Small-Cap<br>| $171 | $551 | $955 | $2086 |

---

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund invests in financial instruments that ProFund Advisors believes, in combination, should produce daily returns consistent with the Daily Target.

The Index is designed to measure the performance of the small-cap segment of the U.S. markets. The Index selects the 2000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index based on market capitalization. The Russell 3000 Index is designed to measure the performance of the largest 3,000 U.S. companies. As of December 31, 2025, the market capitalization of each company within the Index was below $26 billion. The selected companies are then weighted based on market capitalization. The Index's composition and the assigned weights are reevaluated each June. The Index is constructed and maintained by FTSE Russell. More

information about the Index can be found using the Bloomberg ticker symbol "RTY."

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will obtain inverse exposure to 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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 and futures contracts) in order to gain inverse exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Futures Contracts** — Standardized contracts that obligate the parties to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price and date in the future.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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 daily returns consistent with the Daily Target. For these purposes a day is measured from the time of one net asset value ("NAV") calculation to the next.

The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in financial instruments that, in combination, provide inverse exposure consistent with the investment objective, without regard to market conditions, trends or direction. However, the Fund may 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 inverse exposure consistent with the investment objective.

The Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio each day so that its exposure to the Index is consistent with the Daily Target. The Index's movements during the day will affect whether the Fund's portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the Index has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall (assuming there were no shares issued). As a result, the Fund's exposure will need to be decreased. Conversely, if the Index has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise (assuming there were no share redemptions). As a result, the Fund's exposure will need to be increased.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Short or Inverse Investing Risk** — You will lose money when the Index rises – a result that is the opposite from a traditional index fund. Obtaining inverse or "short" exposure may be considered an aggressive investment technique. The costs of obtaining this short exposure will lower your returns. If the level of the Index approaches a 100% increase at any point in the day, you could lose your entire investment. As a result, an investment in the Fund may not be suitable for all investors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Holding Period Risk** — The performance of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will likely differ from the Daily Target. This difference may be significant. **If you are considering holding fund shares for longer than a day, it's important that you understand the impact of the return and volatility (how much the value of the Index moves up and down from day-to-day) of the Index on your holding period return.** The volatility of the Index has a negative impact on Fund returns. During periods of higher volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the Fund's returns as much as or more than the return of the Index.

The following table illustrates the impact of the volatility and return of the Index on Fund returns for a hypothetical one-year period. However, these effects will impact your return for any holding period other than a day. **The longer you hold shares of the Fund, the more magnified these effects will be. As a result, you should consider monitoring your investments in the Fund in light of your individual investment goals and risk tolerance.** 

In the table areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than the Daily Target. As the table shows, your return will tend to be worse than the Daily Target when there are smaller gains or losses and higher volatility in the Index. Your return will tend to be better than the Daily Target when there are larger gains or losses and lower volatility in the Index. You may lose money when the return of the Index is flat (i.e., close to zero) and you may lose money when the Index falls.

The table uses hypothetical annualized volatility and returns of the Index to illustrate the impact of these two factors on Fund

**152 :: ProFund VP Short Small-Cap**

performance over a one-year period. It does not represent actual returns. Each row corresponds to the level of a hypothetical return of the Index for a one-year period. Each column corresponds to a level of hypothetical annualized volatility of the Index. For example, the Fund may mistakenly be expected to achieve a -20% return on a yearly basis if the annual return of the Index were 20%. However, as the table shows, with a one-year return of the Index of 20% and an annualized volatility of the Index of 50%, the Fund could be expected to return -35.1%.

Assumes: (a) no dividends paid with respect to securities included in the Index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain inverse exposure) of zero percent. If these were included the Fund's performance would be different from that shown.

The annualized historical volatility rate for the Index for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 22.96%. The highest December to December volatility rate for the Index during the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 28.13% (December 31, 2022). The annualized total return performance of the Index for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 6.09%. The historical volatility and performance of the Index do not predict future volatility and performance of the Index.

For more information, including additional graphs and charts demonstrating the effects of the volatility and return of the Index on the long-term performance of the Fund, see "Understanding the Risks and Long-Term Performance of a Daily Objective Fund" in the Fund's Prospectus.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its

Daily Target. In addition, the Fund may not have inverse exposure to all of the instruments in the Index, its weighting of those instruments may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index. Moreover, if for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a portion of its investments, the Fund may have exposure to the Index that is significantly greater or less than the Daily Target. Any of these factors may prevent the Fund from achieving exposure consistent with the Daily Target.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Derivatives Risk** — Investing in derivatives to obtain inverse exposure may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. To the extent the Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, the Fund will be subject to the risks of that ETF including the risk that the ETF may not meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund may be subject to greater correlation risk since the performance of the ETF may not correlate to the performance of the Index. Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund's return.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Counterparty Risk** — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations. With respect to swap agreements, the terms of the agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund, including intraday (for example, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund's net assets). If an agreement is terminated, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Leverage Risk** — Leverage increases the risk of a total loss of an investor's investment, may increase the volatility of the Fund, and may magnify any differences between the performance of the Fund and the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Small-Cap Company Investment Risk** — The risk of equity investing may be particularly acute for securities of issuers with smaller market capitalizations. Small-cap companies may have limited product lines or resources, may be dependent upon a particular market niche and may have greater fluctuations in price than the stocks of larger companies. Small-cap companies may lack the financial and personnel resources to handle economic or industry-wide setbacks and, as a result, such setbacks could have a greater effect on small-cap security prices. Additionally, small-cap company stocks may trade at greater spreads or lower trading volumes, and may be less liquid than the stocks of larger companies. Further, stocks of small-sized companies could be more difficult to liquidate during market downturns compared to larger, more widely traded companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated

------

**ProFund VP Short Small-Cap :: 153**

with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events. As a fund seeking daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the daily return of the Index, the value of an investment in the Fund is expected to decline when market conditions cause the level of the Index to rise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Money Market Instruments Risk** — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the financials, health care and industrials industry groups.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Financials Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: extensive governmental regulation and/or nationalization that affects the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain; adverse effects from increases in interest rates; adverse effects on profitability by loan losses; and severe competition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Health Care Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: heavy dependence on patent protection; litigation and product liability expense; the long and costly process for obtaining new product approval by the Food and Drug Administration; and product obsolescence.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Industrials Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: adverse effects on stock prices by supply and demand both for their specific product or service

and for industrials industry products in general; declining demand; and changing government regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Investment Results**

The bar chart below shows how the Fund's investment results have varied from year to year, and the table shows how the Fund's average annual total returns for various periods compare with a broad measure of market performance. This information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund's performance information reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. It does not reflect charges and fees associated with a separate account that invests in the Fund or any insurance contract for which it is an investment option. Charges and fees will reduce returns. Past results are not predictive of future results.

Reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. Adjusted to reflect the reinvestment of dividends paid by issuers in the Index.

Annual returns are required to be shown and should not be interpreted as suggesting that the Fund should or should not be held for longer periods of time.

**Management**

The Fund is advised by ProFund Advisors. Michael Neches, Senior Portfolio Manager, and Devin Sullivan, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since October 2013 and March 2018, respectively.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares**

Shares are available for purchase by insurance company separate accounts to serve as an investment medium for variable

insurance contracts, and by qualified pension and retirement plans, certain insurance companies, and ProFund Advisors. Investors do not contact the Fund directly to purchase or redeem shares. Please refer to the prospectus of the relevant separate account for information on the allocation of premiums and on transfers of accumulated value among sub-accounts of the separate accounts that invest in the Fund.

**Tax Information**

The Fund normally distributes its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. If you are a holder of a contract or policy that invests in the Fund through an insurance company separate account, then these distributions will generally not be taxable to you; please consult the prospectus or other information provided to you by the insurance company regarding the tax consequences of your contract or policy. If you are a holder of such a contract or policy, or if you are investing through a pension or retirement plan that is a tax-advantaged arrangement, you may be taxed later upon distributions with respect to or from those contracts or arrangements. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

**Payments to Insurance Companies and Other Financial Intermediaries**

The Fund or its distributor (and related companies) may pay insurance companies, which in turn may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks and insurance companies, or their related companies) for the sale and retention of variable contracts and/or policies which offer Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest for a financial intermediary selling such variable contracts and/or policies, or may be a factor in the insurance company's decision to include the Fund as an investment option in its variable contract or policy. For more information, ask your financial advisor, visit your financial intermediary's website or consult the prospectus for the contract or policy.

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 13% of the average value of its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

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 the small-cap segment of the U.S. markets. The Index selects the 2000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index based on market capitalization. The Russell 3000 Index is designed to measure the performance of the largest 3,000 U.S. companies. As of December 31, 2025, the market capitalization of each company within the Index was below $26 billion. The selected companies are then weighted based on market capitalization. The Index's composition and the assigned weights are reevaluated each June. The Index is constructed and maintained by FTSE Russell. More information about the Index can be found using the Bloomberg ticker symbol "RTY."

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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity Securities** — Common stock issued by public companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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 and futures contracts) in order to gain exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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

------

**156 :: ProFund VP Small-Cap**

rates of returns) earned or realized on a particular investment or instrument.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Futures Contracts** — Standardized contracts that obligate the parties to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price and date in the future.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Derivatives Risk** — Investing in derivatives to obtain exposure may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. To the extent the Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, the Fund will be subject to the risks of that ETF including the risk that the ETF may not meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund may be subject to greater correlation risk since the performance of the ETF may not correlate to the performance of the Index. Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund's return.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Counterparty Risk** — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations. With respect to swap agreements, the terms of the agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with

the Fund, including intraday (for example, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund's net assets). If an agreement is terminated, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Small-Cap Company Investment Risk** — The risk of equity investing may be particularly acute for securities of issuers with smaller market capitalizations. Small-cap companies may have limited product lines or resources, may be dependent upon a particular market niche and may have greater fluctuations in price than the stocks of larger companies. Small-cap companies may lack the financial and personnel resources to handle economic or industry-wide setbacks and, as a result, such setbacks could have a greater effect on small-cap security prices. Additionally, small-cap company stocks may trade at greater spreads or lower trading volumes, and may be less liquid than the stocks of larger companies. Further, stocks of small-sized companies could be more difficult to liquidate during market downturns compared to larger, more widely traded companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Money Market Instruments Risk** — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund's exposure may not be consistent with the Index. For example, the Fund may not have exposure to all of the securities in the Index, its weighting of securities may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or

------

**ProFund VP Small-Cap :: 157**

group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the financials, health care and industrials industry groups.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Financials Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: extensive governmental regulation and/or nationalization that affects the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain; adverse effects from increases in interest rates; adverse effects on profitability by loan losses; and severe competition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Health Care Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: heavy dependence on patent protection; litigation and product liability expense; the long and costly process for obtaining new product approval by the Food and Drug Administration; and product obsolescence.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Industrials Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: adverse effects on stock prices by supply and demand both for their specific product or service and for industrials industry products in general; declining demand; and changing government regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on

specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Investment Results**

The bar chart below shows how the Fund's investment results have varied from year to year, and the table shows how the Fund's average annual total returns for various periods compare with different broad measures of market performance. This information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund's performance information reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. It does not reflect charges and fees associated with a separate account that invests in the Fund or any insurance contract for which it is an investment option. Charges and fees will reduce returns. Past results are not predictive of future results.

**Management**

The Fund is advised by ProFund Advisors. Michael Neches, Senior Portfolio Manager, and Devin Sullivan, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since October 2013 and March 2018, respectively.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares**

Shares are available for purchase by insurance company separate accounts to serve as an investment medium for variable insurance contracts, and by qualified pension and retirement plans, certain insurance companies, and ProFund Advisors. Investors do not contact the Fund directly to purchase or redeem shares. Please refer to the prospectus of the relevant separate account for information on the allocation of premiums and on transfers of accumulated value among sub-accounts of the separate accounts that invest in the Fund.

**Tax Information**

The Fund normally distributes its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. If you are a holder of a contract or policy that invests in the Fund through an insurance company separate account, then these distributions will generally not be taxable to you; please consult the prospectus or other information provided to you by the insurance company

regarding the tax consequences of your contract or policy. If you are a holder of such a contract or policy, or if you are investing through a pension or retirement plan that is a tax-advantaged arrangement, you may be taxed later upon distributions with respect to or from those contracts or arrangements. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

**Payments to Insurance Companies and Other Financial Intermediaries**

The Fund or its distributor (and related companies) may pay insurance companies, which in turn may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks and insurance companies, or their related companies) for the sale and retention of variable contracts and/or policies which offer Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest for a financial intermediary selling such variable contracts and/or policies, or may be a factor in the insurance company's decision to include the Fund as an investment option in its variable contract or policy. For more information, ask your financial advisor, visit your financial intermediary's website or consult the prospectus for the contract or policy.

**ProFund VP Small-Cap Growth :: 159**

**Investment Objective**

ProFund VP Small-Cap Growth (the "Fund") seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the performance of the S&P SmallCap 600<sup>®</sup> Growth Index (the "Index").

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. The expenses shown do not reflect charges or fees associated with insurance company separate accounts or insurance contracts, which would have the effect of increasing overall expenses. Annuity and policy holders should consult the prospectus for their contract or policy for more information about such charges and fees.

| Investment Advisory Fees | 0.75% |
| Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees | 0.25% |

| Fee Waivers/Reimbursements<sup>2</sup> | -0.03% |
| **Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee** <br> **Waivers and Expense Reimbursements**<br>| **1.68%** |

---

The "Recoupment" line shows gross recoupment payments made by the Fund during its most recent fiscal year. In addition, at times during the fiscal year amounts were waived or reimbursed to the Fund - the gross amount of this waiver/reimbursement is shown separately in the "Fee Waivers/Reimbursements" line. The recoupment shown did not cause the Fund's expenses to exceed any expense limitation in place at the time of recoupment or the time the recouped amounts were originally waived/reimbursed.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board. Amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular contractual period may be recouped by ProFund Advisors within three years subject to certain limitations.

**Example:** This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. It does not reflect separate account or insurance contract fees or charges. If these charges were reflected, expenses would

be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 57% of the average value of its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

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 growth stocks included in the S&P SmallCap 600 Index. The S&P SmallCap 600 Index is designed to measure the performance of small-cap companies listed and domiciled in the U.S. As of December 31, 2025, the market capitalization of companies in the Index was between $544 million and $9.2 billion. The Index includes the stocks in the Small-Cap S&P 600 Index with the strongest growth characteristics based on: sales growth, changes in earnings over price, and momentum. The selected stocks are then weighted based on market capitalization. The Index's composition and assigned weights are reevaluated annually in December with additional weight adjustments in March, June and September. 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 "SMLG."

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.

If an agreement is terminated, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Small-Cap Company Investment Risk** — The risk of equity investing may be particularly acute for securities of issuers with smaller market capitalizations. Small-cap companies may have limited product lines or resources, may be dependent upon a particular market niche and may have greater fluctuations in price than the stocks of larger companies. Small-cap companies may lack the financial and personnel resources to handle economic or industry-wide setbacks and, as a result, such setbacks could have a greater effect on small-cap security prices. Additionally, small-cap company stocks may trade at greater spreads or lower trading volumes, and may be less liquid than the stocks of larger companies. Further, stocks of small-sized companies could be more difficult to liquidate during market downturns compared to larger, more widely traded companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Growth Investing Risk** — An investment in growth stocks may be susceptible to rapid price swings, especially during periods of economic uncertainty. Growth stocks typically have little or no dividend income to cushion the effect of adverse market conditions and may be particularly volatile in the event of earnings disappointments or other financial difficulties experienced by the issuer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events.

**ProFund VP Small-Cap Growth :: 161**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Money Market Instruments Risk** — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund's exposure may not be consistent with the Index. For example, the Fund may not have exposure to all of the securities in the Index, its weighting of securities may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index.

The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the health care, industrials and information technology industry groups.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Health Care Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: heavy dependence on patent protection; litigation and product liability expense; the long and costly process for obtaining new product approval by the Food and Drug Administration; and product obsolescence.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Industrials Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: adverse effects on stock prices by supply and demand both for their specific product or service and for industrials industry products in general; declining demand; and changing government regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Information Technology Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: intense competition, obsolescence of existing technology, and changing economic conditions and government regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

For more information, ask your financial advisor, visit your financial intermediary's website or consult the prospectus for the contract or policy.

**ProFund VP Small-Cap Value :: 163**

**Investment Objective**

ProFund VP Small-Cap Value (the "Fund") seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the performance of the S&P SmallCap 600<sup>®</sup> Value Index (the "Index").

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. The expenses shown do not reflect charges or fees associated with insurance company separate accounts or insurance contracts, which would have the effect of increasing overall expenses. Annuity and policy holders should consult the prospectus for their contract or policy for more information about such charges and fees.

| **Annual Fund Operating Expenses**<br> (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the <br> value of your investment) | **Annual Fund Operating Expenses**<br> (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the <br> value of your investment) |
| Investment Advisory Fees | 0.75% |
| Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees | 0.25% |
| Other Expenses | 0.73% |
| Recoupment<sup>1</sup> | 0.05% |

| Fee Waivers/Reimbursements<sup>2</sup> | -0.05% |
| **Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee** <br> **Waivers and Expense Reimbursements**<br>| **1.68%** |

---

The "Recoupment" line shows gross recoupment payments made by the Fund during its most recent fiscal year. In addition, at times during the fiscal year amounts were waived or reimbursed to the Fund - the gross amount of this waiver/reimbursement is shown separately in the "Fee Waivers/Reimbursements" line. The recoupment shown did not cause the Fund's expenses to exceed any expense limitation in place at the time of recoupment or the time the recouped amounts were originally waived/reimbursed.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board. Amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular contractual period may be recouped by ProFund Advisors within three years subject to certain limitations.

**Example:** This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. It does not reflect separate account or insurance contract

fees or charges. If these charges were reflected, expenses would be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

---

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 115% of the average value of its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

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 value stocks included in the S&P SmallCap 600 Index. The S&P SmallCap 600 Index is designed to measure the performance of small-cap companies listed and domiciled in the U.S. As of December 31, 2025, the market capitalization of companies in the Index was between $310 million and $8.5 billion. The Index includes the stocks in the S&P SmallCap 600 Index with the strongest value characteristics based on: book value to price ratio, earnings to price ratio, and sales to price ratio. The selected stocks are then weighted based on market capitalization. The Index's composition and assigned weights are reevaluated annually in December with additional weight adjustments in March, June and September. 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 "SMLV."

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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity Securities** — Common stock issued by public companies.

------

**164 :: ProFund VP Small-Cap Value**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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 and futures contracts) in order to gain exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Futures Contracts** — Standardized contracts that obligate the parties to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price and date in the future.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Derivatives Risk** — Investing in derivatives to obtain exposure may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do

not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. To the extent the Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, the Fund will be subject to the risks of that ETF including the risk that the ETF may not meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund may be subject to greater correlation risk since the performance of the ETF may not correlate to the performance of the Index. Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund's return.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Counterparty Risk** — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations. With respect to swap agreements, the terms of the agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund, including intraday (for example, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund's net assets). If an agreement is terminated, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Small-Cap Company Investment Risk** — The risk of equity investing may be particularly acute for securities of issuers with smaller market capitalizations. Small-cap companies may have limited product lines or resources, may be dependent upon a particular market niche and may have greater fluctuations in price than the stocks of larger companies. Small-cap companies may lack the financial and personnel resources to handle economic or industry-wide setbacks and, as a result, such setbacks could have a greater effect on small-cap security prices. Additionally, small-cap company stocks may trade at greater spreads or lower trading volumes, and may be less liquid than the stocks of larger companies. Further, stocks of small-sized companies could be more difficult to liquidate during market downturns compared to larger, more widely traded companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Value Investing Risk** — Value investing carries the risk that the market will not recognize a security's intrinsic value for a long time, or that a stock deemed to be undervalued by the relevant index methodology may actually be appropriately priced or overvalued.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public

------

**ProFund VP Small-Cap Value :: 165**

health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Money Market Instruments Risk** — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund's exposure may not be consistent with the Index. For example, the Fund may not have exposure to all of the securities in the Index, its weighting of securities may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the consumer discretionary and financials industry group.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Consumer Discretionary Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: impact of changing economic conditions, interest rates, competition and consumer confidence; heavy dependence on disposable household income and consumer spending; severe competition; and changes in demographics and consumer tastes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Financials Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: extensive governmental regulation and/or nationalization that affects the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of

capital they must maintain; adverse effects from increases in interest rates; adverse effects on profitability by loan losses; and severe competition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Investment Results**

The bar chart below shows how the Fund's investment results have varied from year to year, and the table shows how the Fund's average annual total returns for various periods compare with different broad measures of market performance. This information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund's performance information reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. It does not reflect charges and fees associated with a separate account

Reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. Adjusted to reflect the reinvestment of dividends paid by issuers in the Index.

**Management**

The Fund is advised by ProFund Advisors. Michael Neches, Senior Portfolio Manager, and Devin Sullivan, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since October 2013 and March 2018, respectively.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares**

Shares are available for purchase by insurance company separate accounts to serve as an investment medium for variable

insurance contracts, and by qualified pension and retirement plans, certain insurance companies, and ProFund Advisors. Investors do not contact the Fund directly to purchase or redeem shares. Please refer to the prospectus of the relevant separate account for information on the allocation of premiums and on transfers of accumulated value among sub-accounts of the separate accounts that invest in the Fund.

**Tax Information**

The Fund normally distributes its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. If you are a holder of a contract or policy that invests in the Fund through an insurance company separate account, then these distributions will generally not be taxable to you; please consult the prospectus or other information provided to you by the insurance company regarding the tax consequences of your contract or policy. If you are a holder of such a contract or policy, or if you are investing through a pension or retirement plan that is a tax-advantaged arrangement, you may be taxed later upon distributions with respect to or from those contracts or arrangements. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

**Payments to Insurance Companies and Other Financial Intermediaries**

The Fund or its distributor (and related companies) may pay insurance companies, which in turn may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks and insurance companies, or their related companies) for the sale and retention of variable contracts and/or policies which offer Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest for a financial intermediary selling such variable contracts and/or policies, or may be a factor in the insurance company's decision to include the Fund as an investment option in its variable contract or policy. For more information, ask your financial advisor, visit your financial intermediary's website or consult the prospectus for the contract or policy.

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's

performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 176% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund invests in securities that ProFund Advisors believes, in combination, should track the performance of the Index.

The Index is designed to measure the performance of information technology companies included in the S&P 500 Index. The S&P 500 Index is designed to measure the performance of 500 of the largest companies listed and domiciled in the U.S. The Index includes information technology companies in the following industries according to theGlobal Industry Classification Standard (GICS): IT services; software; communications equipment; technology, hardware, storage & peripherals; electronic equipment, instruments, & components; and semiconductors & semiconductor equipment. These companies are then weighted based on market capitalization. The Index's composition and the assigned weights are reevaluated every September with additional weight adjustments in March, June, 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 "IXT."

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 securities listed below.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Technology Industry Risk** — Securities of technology companies may be subject to greater volatility than stocks of companies in other market sectors. Technology companies may experience intense competition, obsolescence of existing technology, general economic conditions and government regulation and may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. Technology companies may

------

**168 :: ProFund VP Technology**

experience dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for qualified personnel. These companies also are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect profitability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its investment objective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the semiconductors & semiconductor equipment, software & services and technology hardware & equipment industry groups.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Semiconductors and Semiconductor Equipment Industry Risk** — Companies in this sector may experience: intense competition, wide fluctuations in securities prices due to risks of rapid obsolescence of products, significant research costs, and limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. Companies in this sector may also be affected by risks that affect the broader technology sector.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Software and Services Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: competitive pressures, such as aggressive pricing, technological developments, cyclical market patterns, changing domestic demand, the

ability to attract and retain skilled employees, and dependence on intellectual property rights and potential loss or impairment of those rights.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Technology Hardware and Equipment Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: effects from industry competition, evolving industry standards, product obsolescence, and changing government regulation. These companies may also be affected by risks that affect the broader information technology industry.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers. This may increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

The Fund or its distributor (and related companies) may pay insurance companies, which in turn may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks and insurance companies, or their related companies) for the sale and retention of variable contracts and/or policies which offer Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest for a financial intermediary selling such variable contracts and/or policies, or may be a factor in the insurance company's decision to include the Fund as an investment option in its variable contract or policy.

**170 :: ProFund VP UltraBull**

**Investment Objective**

ProFund VP UltraBull (the "Fund") seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to two times (2x) the daily performance of the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index (the "Index").

**Important Information About the Fund**

If the Fund is successful in meeting its investment objective, it should gain approximately two times as much as the Index when the Index rises on a given day. Conversely, it should lose approximately two times as much as the Index when the Index falls on a given day. **The Fund does not seek to achieve two times (2x) the daily performance of theIndex (the "Daily Target") for any period other than a day.**

While the Fund has a daily investment objective, you may hold Fund shares for longer than one day if you believe doing so is consistent with your goals and risk tolerance. **If you hold fund shares for any period other than a day, it is important for you to understand that over your holding period:** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Your return may be higher or lower than the Daily Target, and this difference may be significant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Factors that contribute to returns that are worse than the Daily Target include smaller Index gains or losses and higher Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Factors that contribute to returns that are better than the Daily Target include larger Index gains or losses and lower Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●The more extreme these factors are, and the more they occur together, the more your return will tend to deviate from the Daily Target.

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. The expenses shown do not reflect charges or fees associated with insurance company separate accounts or insurance contracts, which would have the effect of increasing overall expenses. Annuity and policy holders should consult the prospectus for their contract or policy for more information about such charges and fees.

The "Recoupment" line shows gross recoupment payments made by the Fund during its most recent fiscal year. In addition, at times during the fiscal year amounts were waived or reimbursed to the Fund - the gross amount of this waiver/reimbursement is shown separately in the "Fee Waivers/Reimbursements" line. The recoupment shown did not cause the Fund's expenses to exceed any expense limitation in place at the time of recoupment or the time the recouped amounts were originally waived/reimbursed.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board. Amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular contractual period may be recouped by ProFund Advisors within three years subject to certain limitations.

**Example:** This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. It does not reflect separate account or insurance contract fees or charges. If these charges were reflected, expenses would

be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | 1 Year | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years |

---

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 65% of the average value of its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund invests in financial instruments that ProFund Advisors believes, in combination, should produce daily returns consistent with the Daily Target.

The Index is designed to measure the performance of 500 of the largest companies listed and domiciled in the U.S. These companies are weighted based on market capitalization. The Index's composition and the assigned weights are reevaluated every September with additional weight adjustments in March, June, 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 "SPX."

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will obtain leveraged exposure to 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity Securities** — Common stock issued by public companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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 and futures contracts) in order to gain leveraged exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Futures Contracts** — Standardized contracts that obligate the parties to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price and date in the future.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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 daily returns consistent with the Daily Target. For these purposes a day is measured from the time of one net asset value ("NAV") calculation to the next.

The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in financial instruments that, in combination, provide leveraged exposure consistent with the investment objective, without regard to market conditions, trends or direction. However, the Fund may 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 leveraged exposure consistent with the investment objective.

The Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio each day so that its exposure to the Index is consistent with the Daily Target. The Index's movements during the day will affect whether the Fund's portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the Index has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise (assuming there were no share redemptions). As a result, the Fund's exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the Index has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall (assuming there were no shares issued). As a result, the Fund's exposure will need to be decreased.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Leverage Risk** — The Fund uses leverage and will lose more money when the value of the Index falls than a similar fund that does not use leverage. The use of leverage increases the risk of a total loss of your investment. If the Index approaches

------

**172 :: ProFund VP UltraBull**

a 50% loss at any point in the day, you could lose your entire investment. As a result, an investment in the Fund may not be suitable for all investors. The use of leverage increases the volatility of your returns. The cost of obtaining this leverage will lower your returns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Holding Period Risk** — The performance of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will likely differ from the Daily Target. This difference may be significant. **If you are considering holding fund shares for longer than a day, it's important that you understand the impact of the return and volatility (how much the value of the Index moves up and down from day-to-day) of the Index on your holding period return.** The volatility of the Index has a negative impact on Fund returns. During periods of higher volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the Fund's returns as much as or more than the return of the Index.

The following table illustrates the impact of the volatility and return of the Index on Fund returns for a hypothetical one-year period. However, these effects will impact your return for any holding period other than a day. **The longer you hold shares of the Fund, the more magnified these effects will be. As a result, you should consider monitoring your investments in the Fund in light of your individual investment goals and risk tolerance.** 

In the table areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than the Daily Target. As the table shows, your return will tend to be worse than the Daily Target when there are smaller gains or losses and higher volatility in the Index. Your return will tend to be better than the Daily Target when there are larger gains or losses and lower volatility in the Index. You may lose money when the return of the Index is flat (i.e., close to zero) and you may lose money when the Index rises.

The table uses hypothetical annualized volatility and returns of the Index to illustrate the impact of these two factors on Fund performance over a one-year period. It does not represent actual returns. Each row corresponds to the level of a hypothetical return of the Index for a one-year period. Each column corresponds to a level of hypothetical annualized volatility of the Index. For example, the Fund may mistakenly be expected to achieve a -40% return on a yearly basis if the annual return of the Index were -20%. However, as the table shows, with a one-year return of the Index of -20% and an annualized volatility of the Index of 50%, the Fund could be expected to return -50.2%.

Assumes: (a) no dividends paid with respect to securities included in the Index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain leveraged exposure) of zero percent. If these were included the Fund's performance would be different from that shown.

The annualized historical volatility rate for the Index for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 16.97%. The highest December to December volatility rate for the Index during the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 24.18% (December 31, 2022). The annualized total return performance of the Index for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 14.42%. The historical volatility and performance of the Index do not predict future volatility and performance of the Index.

For more information, including additional graphs and charts demonstrating the effects of the volatility and return of the Index on the long-term performance of the Fund, see "Understanding the Risks and Long-Term Performance of a Daily Objective Fund" in the Fund's Prospectus.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of leveraged correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its Daily Target. In addition, the Fund may not have leveraged exposure to all of the instruments in the Index, its weighting

------

**ProFund VP UltraBull :: 173**

of those instruments may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index. Moreover, if for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a portion of its investments, the Fund may have exposure to the Index that is significantly greater or less than the Daily Target. Any of these factors may prevent the Fund from achieving exposure consistent with the Daily Target.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Derivatives Risk** — Investing in derivatives to obtain leveraged exposure may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. To the extent the Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, the Fund will be subject to the risks of that ETF including the risk that the ETF may not meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund may be subject to greater correlation risk since the performance of the ETF may not correlate to the performance of the Index. Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund's return.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Counterparty Risk** — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations. With respect to swap agreements, the terms of the agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund, including intraday (for example, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund's net assets). If an agreement is terminated, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Money Market Instruments Risk** — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or

group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the information technology industry group.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Information Technology Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: intense competition, obsolescence of existing technology, and changing economic conditions and government regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Investment Results**

The bar chart below shows how the Fund's investment results have varied from year to year, and the table shows how the Fund's average annual total returns for various periods compare with a broad measure of market performance. This information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund's performance information reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. It does not reflect charges and fees associated with a separate account that invests in the

Reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. Adjusted to reflect the reinvestment of dividends paid by issuers in the Index.

Annual returns are required to be shown and should not be interpreted as suggesting that the Fund should or should not be held for longer periods of time.

**Management**

The Fund is advised by ProFund Advisors. Michael Neches, Senior Portfolio Manager, and Devin Sullivan, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since October 2013 and March 2018, respectively.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares**

Shares are available for purchase by insurance company separate accounts to serve as an investment medium for variable insurance contracts, and by qualified pension and retirement plans, certain insurance companies, and ProFund Advisors. Investors do not contact the Fund directly to purchase or redeem shares. Please refer to the prospectus of the relevant separate account for information on the allocation of premiums and on transfers of accumulated value among sub-accounts of the separate accounts that invest in the Fund.

**Tax Information**

The Fund normally distributes its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. If you are a holder of a contract or policy that invests in the Fund through an insurance company separate account, then these distributions will generally not be taxable to you; please consult the prospectus or other information provided to you by the insurance company regarding the tax consequences of your contract or policy. If you are a holder of such a contract or policy, or if you are investing through a pension or retirement plan that is a tax-advantaged arrangement, you may be taxed later upon distributions with respect to or from those contracts or arrangements. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

**Payments to Insurance Companies and Other Financial Intermediaries**

The Fund or its distributor (and related companies) may pay insurance companies, which in turn may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks and insurance companies, or their related companies) for the sale and retention of variable contracts and/or policies which offer Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest for a financial intermediary selling such variable contracts and/or policies, or may be a factor in the insurance company's decision to include the Fund as an investment option in its variable contract or policy. For more information, ask your financial advisor, visit your financial intermediary's website or consult the prospectus for the contract or policy.

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 39% of the average value of its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund invests in financial instruments that ProFund Advisors believes, in combination, should produce daily returns consistent with the Daily Target.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Futures Contracts** — Standardized contracts that obligate the parties to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price and date in the future.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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 daily returns consistent with the Daily Target. For these purposes a day is measured from the time of one net asset value ("NAV") calculation to the next.

The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in financial instruments that, in combination, provide leveraged exposure consistent with the investment objective, without regard to market conditions, trends or direction. However, the Fund may 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 leveraged exposure consistent with the investment objective.

The Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio each day so that its exposure to the Index is consistent with the Daily Target. The Index's movements during the day will affect whether the Fund's portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the Index has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise (assuming there were no share redemptions). As a result, the Fund's exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the Index has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall (assuming there were no shares issued). As a result, the Fund's exposure will need to be decreased.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Leverage Risk** — The Fund uses leverage and will lose more money when the value of the Index falls than a similar fund that does not use leverage. The use of leverage increases the risk of a total loss of your investment. If the Index approaches a 50% loss at any point in the day, you could lose your entire investment. As a result, an investment in the Fund may not be suitable for all investors. The use of leverage increases the volatility of your returns. The cost of obtaining this leverage will lower your returns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Holding Period Risk** — The performance of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will likely differ from the Daily Target. This difference may be significant. **If you are considering holding fund shares for longer than a day, it's important that you understand the impact of the return and volatility (how much the value of the Index moves up and down from day-to-day) of the Index on your holding period return.** The volatility of the Index has a negative impact on Fund returns. During periods of higher volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the Fund's returns as much as or more than the return of the Index.

The following table illustrates the impact of the volatility and return of the Index on Fund returns for a hypothetical one-year period. However, these effects will impact your return for any holding period other than a day. **The longer you hold shares of the Fund, the more magnified these effects will be. As a result, you should consider monitoring your investments in the Fund in light of your individual investment goals and risk tolerance.** 

In the table areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than the Daily Target. As the table shows, your return will tend to be worse than the Daily Target when there are smaller gains or losses and higher volatility in the Index. Your return will tend to be better than the Daily Target when there are larger gains or

------

**ProFund VP UltraMid-Cap :: 177**

losses and lower volatility in the Index. You may lose money when the return of the Index is flat (i.e., close to zero) and you may lose money when the Index rises.

The table uses hypothetical annualized volatility and returns of the Index to illustrate the impact of these two factors on Fund performance over a one-year period. It does not represent actual returns. Each row corresponds to the level of a hypothetical return of the Index for a one-year period. Each column corresponds to a level of hypothetical annualized volatility of the Index. For example, the Fund may mistakenly be expected to achieve a -40% return on a yearly basis if the annual return of the Index were -20%. However, as the table shows, with a one-year return of the Index of -20% and an annualized volatility of the Index of 50%, the Fund could be expected to return -50.2%.

Assumes: (a) no dividends paid with respect to securities included in the Index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain leveraged exposure) of zero percent. If these were included the Fund's performance would be different from that shown.

The annualized historical volatility rate for the Index for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 19.89%. The highest December to December volatility rate for the Index during the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 25.78% (December 31, 2022). The annualized total return performance of the Index for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 9.11%. The historical volatility and performance of the Index do not predict future volatility and performance of the Index.

For more information, including additional graphs and charts demonstrating the effects of the volatility and return of the Index on the long-term performance of the Fund, see "Understanding the Risks and Long-Term Performance of a Daily Objective Fund" in the Fund's Prospectus.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of leveraged correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its Daily Target. In addition, the Fund may not have leveraged exposure to all of the instruments in the Index, its weighting of those instruments may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index. Moreover, if for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a portion of its investments, the Fund may have exposure to the Index that is significantly greater or less than the Daily Target. Any of these factors may prevent the Fund from achieving exposure consistent with the Daily Target.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Derivatives Risk** — Investing in derivatives to obtain leveraged exposure may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. To the extent the Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, the Fund will be subject to the risks of that ETF including the risk that the ETF may not meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund may be subject to greater correlation risk since the performance of the ETF may not correlate to the performance of the Index. Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund's return.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Counterparty Risk** — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations. With respect to swap agreements, the terms of the agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund, including intraday (for example, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund's net assets). If an agreement is terminated, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Mid-Cap Company Investment Risk** — The risk of equity investing may be particularly acute for securities of issuers with smaller market capitalizations. Mid-cap companies may have limited product lines or resources, may be dependent upon a particular market niche and may have greater fluctuations in price than the stocks of larger companies. Mid-cap companies may lack the financial and personnel resources to handle economic or industry-wide setbacks and, as a result, such setbacks could have a greater effect on mid-cap security prices. Additionally, mid-cap company stocks may trade at greater spreads or lower trading volumes, and may be less liquid than the stocks of larger companies. Further, stocks of mid-sized companies could be more difficult to liquidate during market downturns compared to larger, more widely traded companies.

**178 :: ProFund VP UltraMid-Cap**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Money Market Instruments Risk** — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the financials and industrials industry groups.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Financials Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: extensive governmental regulation and/or nationalization that affects the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain; adverse effects from increases in interest rates; adverse effects on profitability by loan losses; and severe competition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Industrials Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: adverse effects on stock prices by supply and demand both for their specific product or service and for industrials industry products in general; declining demand; and changing government regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities

of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Investment Results**

The bar chart below shows how the Fund's investment results have varied from year to year, and the table shows how the Fund's average annual total returns for various periods compare with different broad measures of market performance. This information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund's performance information reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. It does not reflect charges and fees associated with a separate account that invests in the Fund or any insurance contract for which it is an investment option. Charges and fees will reduce returns. Past results are not predictive of future results.

Reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. Adjusted to reflect the reinvestment of dividends paid by issuers in the Index.

Annual returns are required to be shown and should not be interpreted as suggesting that the Fund should or should not be held for longer periods of time.

**Management**

The Fund is advised by ProFund Advisors. Michael Neches, Senior Portfolio Manager, and Devin Sullivan, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since October 2013 and March 2018, respectively.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares**

Shares are available for purchase by insurance company separate accounts to serve as an investment medium for variable

insurance contracts, and by qualified pension and retirement plans, certain insurance companies, and ProFund Advisors. Investors do not contact the Fund directly to purchase or redeem shares. Please refer to the prospectus of the relevant separate account for information on the allocation of premiums and on transfers of accumulated value among sub-accounts of the separate accounts that invest in the Fund.

**Tax Information**

The Fund normally distributes its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. If you are a holder of a contract or policy that invests in the Fund through an insurance company separate account, then these distributions will generally not be taxable to you; please consult the prospectus or other information provided to you by the insurance company regarding the tax consequences of your contract or policy. If you are a holder of such a contract or policy, or if you are investing through a pension or retirement plan that is a tax-advantaged arrangement, you may be taxed later upon distributions with respect to or from those contracts or arrangements. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

**Payments to Insurance Companies and Other Financial Intermediaries**

The Fund or its distributor (and related companies) may pay insurance companies, which in turn may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks and insurance companies, or their related companies) for the sale and retention of variable contracts and/or policies which offer Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest for a financial intermediary selling such variable contracts and/or policies, or may be a factor in the insurance company's decision to include the Fund as an investment option in its variable contract or policy. For more information, ask your financial advisor, visit your financial intermediary's website or consult the prospectus for the contract or policy.

**180 :: ProFund VP UltraNasdaq-100**

**Investment Objective**

ProFund VP UltraNasdaq-100 (the "Fund") seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to two times (2x) the daily performance of the Nasdaq-100<sup>®</sup> Index (the "Index").

**Important Information About the Fund**

If the Fund is successful in meeting its investment objective, it should gain approximately two times as much as the Index when the Index rises on a given day. Conversely, it should lose approximately two times as much as the Index when the Index falls on a given day. **The Fund does not seek to achieve two times (2x) the daily performance of theIndex (the "Daily Target") for any period other than a day.**

While the Fund has a daily investment objective, you may hold Fund shares for longer than one day if you believe doing so is consistent with your goals and risk tolerance. **If you hold fund shares for any period other than a day, it is important for you to understand that over your holding period:** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Your return may be higher or lower than the Daily Target, and this difference may be significant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Factors that contribute to returns that are worse than the Daily Target include smaller Index gains or losses and higher Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Factors that contribute to returns that are better than the Daily Target include larger Index gains or losses and lower Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●The more extreme these factors are, and the more they occur together, the more your return will tend to deviate from the Daily Target.

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. The expenses shown do not reflect charges or fees associated with insurance company separate accounts or insurance contracts, which would have the effect of increasing overall expenses. Annuity and policy holders should consult the prospectus for their contract or policy for more information about such charges and fees.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to

waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board. Amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular contractual period may be recouped by ProFund Advisors within three years subject to certain limitations.

**Example:** This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. It does not reflect separate account or insurance contract fees or charges. If these charges were reflected, expenses would be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

---

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 26% of the average value of its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund invests in financial instruments that ProFund Advisors believes, in combination, should produce daily returns consistent with the Daily Target.

The Index is designed to measure the performance of 100 of the largest Nasdaq-listed non-financial companies. The Index includes non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or the Nasdaq Global Market (which include both U.S. and non-U.S. companies). The top 100 companies based on market capitalization are included in the Index. These companies are then weighted based on market capitalization. The Index's composition and the assigned weights are reevaluated every December, with additional weight adjustments occurring in March, June, and September. The Index is constructed and

**ProFund VP UltraNasdaq-100 :: 181**

maintained by Nasdaq Inc. More information about the Index can be found using the Bloomberg ticker symbol "NDX."

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will obtain leveraged exposure to 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity Securities** — Common stock issued by public companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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 and futures contracts) in order to gain leveraged exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Futures Contracts** — Standardized contracts that obligate the parties to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price and date in the future.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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 daily returns consistent with the Daily Target. For these purposes a day is measured from the time of one net asset value ("NAV") calculation to the next.

The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in financial instruments that, in combination, provide leveraged exposure consistent with the investment objective, without regard to market conditions, trends or direction. However, the Fund may 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 leveraged exposure consistent with the investment objective.

The Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio each day so that its exposure to the Index is consistent with the Daily Target. The Index's movements during the day will affect whether the Fund's portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the Index has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise (assuming there were no share redemptions). As a result, the Fund's exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the Index has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall (assuming there were no shares issued). As a result, the Fund's exposure will need to be decreased.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Leverage Risk** — The Fund uses leverage and will lose more money when the value of the Index falls than a similar fund that does not use leverage. The use of leverage increases the risk of a total loss of your investment. If the Index approaches a 50% loss at any point in the day, you could lose your entire investment. As a result, an investment in the Fund may not be suitable for all investors. The use of leverage increases the volatility of your returns. The cost of obtaining this leverage will lower your returns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Holding Period Risk** — The performance of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will likely differ from the Daily Target. This difference may be significant. **If you are considering holding fund shares for longer than a day, it's important that you understand the impact of the return and volatility (how much the value of the Index moves up and down from day-to-day) of the Index on your holding period return.** The volatility of the Index has a negative impact on Fund returns. During periods of higher volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the Fund's returns as much as or more than the return of the Index.

The following table illustrates the impact of the volatility and return of the Index on Fund returns for a hypothetical one-year period. However, these effects will impact your return for any holding period other than a day. **The longer you hold shares of the Fund, the more magnified these effects will be. As a result, you should consider monitoring your investments in the Fund in light of your individual investment goals and risk tolerance.** 

In the table areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than the Daily Target. As the table shows, your return will tend to be worse than the Daily Target when there are smaller gains or losses and higher volatility in the Index. Your return will tend to be better than the Daily Target when there are larger gains or

------

**182 :: ProFund VP UltraNasdaq-100**

losses and lower volatility in the Index. You may lose money when the return of the Index is flat (i.e., close to zero) and you may lose money when the Index rises.

The table uses hypothetical annualized volatility and returns of the Index to illustrate the impact of these two factors on Fund performance over a one-year period. It does not represent actual returns. Each row corresponds to the level of a hypothetical return of the Index for a one-year period. Each column corresponds to a level of hypothetical annualized volatility of the Index. For example, the Fund may mistakenly be expected to achieve a -40% return on a yearly basis if the annual return of the Index were -20%. However, as the table shows, with a one-year return of the Index of -20% and an annualized volatility of the Index of 50%, the Fund could be expected to return -50.2%.

Assumes: (a) no dividends paid with respect to securities included in the Index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain leveraged exposure) of zero percent. If these were included the Fund's performance would be different from that shown.

The annualized historical volatility rate for the Index for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 22.92%. The highest December to December volatility rate for the Index during the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 32.49% (December 31, 2022). The annualized total return performance of the Index for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 15.29%. The historical volatility and performance of the Index do not predict future volatility and performance of the Index.

For more information, including additional graphs and charts demonstrating the effects of the volatility and return of the Index on the long-term performance of the Fund, see "Understanding the Risks and Long-Term Performance of a Daily Objective Fund" in the Fund's Prospectus.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of leveraged correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its Daily Target. In addition, the Fund may not have leveraged exposure to all of the instruments in the Index, its weighting of those instruments may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index. Moreover, if for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a portion of its investments, the Fund may have exposure to the Index that is significantly greater or less than the Daily Target. Any of these factors may prevent the Fund from achieving exposure consistent with the Daily Target.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Derivatives Risk** — Investing in derivatives to obtain leveraged exposure may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. To the extent the Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, the Fund will be subject to the risks of that ETF including the risk that the ETF may not meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund may be subject to greater correlation risk since the performance of the ETF may not correlate to the performance of the Index. Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund's return.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Counterparty Risk** — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations. With respect to swap agreements, the terms of the agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund, including intraday (for example, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund's net assets). If an agreement is terminated, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Money Market Instruments Risk** — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the communication services and information technology industry groups.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Communication Services Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: product obsolescence; increased research and development costs and capital requirements to formulate new products and services; and regulation by the Federal Communications Commission and various state regulatory authorities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Information Technology Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: intense competition, obsolescence of existing technology, and changing economic conditions and government regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its

portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Investment Results**

The bar chart below shows how the Fund's investment results have varied from year to year, and the table shows how the Fund's average annual total returns for various periods compare with a broad measure of market performance. This information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund's performance information reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. It does not reflect charges and fees associated with a separate account that invests in the Fund or any insurance contract for which it is an investment option. Charges and fees will reduce returns. Past results are not predictive of future results.

**184 :: ProFund VP UltraNasdaq-100**

**Management**

The Fund is advised by ProFund Advisors. Michael Neches, Senior Portfolio Manager, and Devin Sullivan, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since October 2013 and March 2018, respectively.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares**

Shares are available for purchase by insurance company separate accounts to serve as an investment medium for variable insurance contracts, and by qualified pension and retirement plans, certain insurance companies, and ProFund Advisors. Investors do not contact the Fund directly to purchase or redeem shares. Please refer to the prospectus of the relevant separate account for information on the allocation of premiums and on transfers of accumulated value among sub-accounts of the separate accounts that invest in the Fund.

**Tax Information**

The Fund normally distributes its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. If you are a holder of a contract or policy that invests in the Fund through an insurance company separate account, then these distributions will generally not be taxable to you; please consult the prospectus or other information provided to you by the insurance company

regarding the tax consequences of your contract or policy. If you are a holder of such a contract or policy, or if you are investing through a pension or retirement plan that is a tax-advantaged arrangement, you may be taxed later upon distributions with respect to or from those contracts or arrangements. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

**Payments to Insurance Companies and Other Financial Intermediaries**

The Fund or its distributor (and related companies) may pay insurance companies, which in turn may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks and insurance companies, or their related companies) for the sale and retention of variable contracts and/or policies which offer Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest for a financial intermediary selling such variable contracts and/or policies, or may be a factor in the insurance company's decision to include the Fund as an investment option in its variable contract or policy. For more information, ask your financial advisor, visit your financial intermediary's website or consult the prospectus for the contract or policy.

**ProFund VP UltraShort Dow 30 :: 185**

**Investment Objective**

ProFund VP UltraShort Dow 30 (the "Fund") seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to two times the inverse (-2x) of the daily performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average<sup>®</sup> (the "Index").

**Important Information About the Fund**

If the Fund is successful in meeting its investment objective, it should gain approximately two times as much as the Index loses when the Index falls on a given day. Conversely, it should lose approximately two times as much as the Index gains when the Index rises on a given day. **The Fund does not seek to achieve two times the inverse (-2x) of the daily performance of the Index (the "Daily Target") for any period other than a day.**

While the Fund has a daily investment objective, you may hold Fund shares for longer than one day if you believe doing so is consistent with your goals and risk tolerance. **If you hold fund shares for any period other than a day, it is important for you to understand that over your holding period:** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Your return may be higher or lower than the Daily Target, and this difference may be significant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Factors that contribute to returns that are worse than the Daily Target include smaller Index gains or losses and higher Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Factors that contribute to returns that are better than the Daily Target include larger Index gains or losses and lower Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●The more extreme these factors are, and the more they occur together, the more your return will tend to deviate from the Daily Target.

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. The expenses shown do not reflect charges or fees associated with insurance company separate accounts or insurance contracts, which would have the effect of increasing overall expenses. Annuity and policy holders should consult the prospectus for their contract or policy for more information about such charges and fees.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily

net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board. Amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular contractual period may be recouped by ProFund Advisors within three years subject to certain limitations.

**Example:** This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. It does not reflect separate account or insurance contract fees or charges. If these charges were reflected, expenses would be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | 1 Year | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years |
| ProFund VP UltraShort <br> Dow 30<br>| $152 | $471 | $813 | $1779 |

---

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund invests in financial instruments that ProFund Advisors believes, in combination, should produce daily returns consistent with the Daily Target.

The Index is designed to measure the performance of some of the largest U.S. companies. The Index includes 30 of the largest companies except those in the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) transportation industry group and utilities sectors. Companies may be included in the Index if the Index provider believes that the company has an excellent reputation, demonstrates sustained growth and is of interest to a large number of investors. The 30 companies selected are then weighted based on their price. Companies may be added or removed from the Index at any time. The Index is constructed and maintained by S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC.

information about the Index can be found using the Bloomberg ticker symbol "DJI."

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will obtain inverse leveraged exposure to 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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 and futures contracts) in order to gain inverse leveraged exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Futures Contracts** — Standardized contracts that obligate the parties to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price and date in the future.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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 daily returns consistent with the Daily Target. For these purposes a day is measured from the time of one net asset value ("NAV") calculation to the next.

The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in financial instruments that, in combination, provide inverse leveraged exposure consistent with the investment objective, without regard to market conditions, trends or direction. However, the

Fund may 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 inverse leveraged exposure consistent with the investment objective.

The Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio each day so that its exposure to the Index is consistent with the Daily Target. The Index's movements during the day will affect whether the Fund's portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the Index has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall (assuming there were no shares issued). As a result, the Fund's exposure will need to be decreased. Conversely, if the Index has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise (assuming there were no share redemptions). As a result, the Fund's exposure will need to be increased.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Short or Inverse Investing Risk** — You will lose money when the Index rises – a result that is the opposite from a traditional index fund. Obtaining inverse or "short" exposure may be considered an aggressive investment technique. The costs of obtaining this short exposure will lower your returns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Leverage Risk** — The Fund uses leverage and will lose more money when the value of the Index rises than a similar fund that does not use leverage. The use of leverage increases the risk of a total loss of your investment. If the Index approaches a 50% gain at any point in the day, you could lose your entire investment. As a result, an investment in the Fund may not be suitable for all investors. The use of leverage increases the volatility of your returns. The cost of obtaining this leverage will lower your returns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Holding Period Risk** — The performance of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will likely differ from the Daily Target. This difference may be significant. **If you are considering holding fund shares for longer than a day, it's important that you understand the impact of the return and volatility (how much the value of the Index moves up and down from day-to-day) of the Index on your holding period return.** The volatility of the Index has a negative impact on Fund returns. During periods of higher volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the Fund's returns as much as or more than the return of the Index.

The following table illustrates the impact of the volatility and return of the Index on Fund returns for a hypothetical one-year period. However, these effects will impact your return for any holding period other than a day. **The longer you hold shares of the Fund, the more magnified these effects will** 

------

**ProFund VP UltraShort Dow 30 :: 187**

**be. As a result, you should consider monitoring your investments in the Fund in light of your individual investment goals and risk tolerance.** 

In the table areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than the Daily Target. As the table shows, your return will tend to be worse than the Daily Target when there are smaller gains or losses and higher volatility in the Index. Your return will tend to be better than the Daily Target when there are larger gains or losses and lower volatility in the Index. You may lose money when the return of the Index is flat (i.e., close to zero) and you may lose money when the Index falls.

The table uses hypothetical annualized volatility and returns of the Index to illustrate the impact of these two factors on Fund performance over a one-year period. It does not represent actual returns. Each row corresponds to the level of a hypothetical return of the Index for a one-year period. Each column corresponds to a level of hypothetical annualized volatility of the Index. For example, the Fund may mistakenly be expected to achieve a -40% return on a yearly basis if the annual return of the Index were 20%. However, as the table shows, with a one-year return of the Index of 20% and an annualized volatility of the Index of 50%, the Fund could be expected to return -67.2%.

Assumes: (a) no dividends paid with respect to securities included in the Index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain inverse leveraged exposure) of zero percent. If these were included the Fund's performance would be different from that shown.

The annualized historical volatility rate for the Index for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 14.70%. The highest December to December volatility rate for the Index during the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was

19.80% (December 31, 2022). The annualized total return performance of the Index for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 11.57%. The historical volatility and performance of the Index do not predict future volatility and performance of the Index.

For more information, including additional graphs and charts demonstrating the effects of the volatility and return of the Index on the long-term performance of the Fund, see "Understanding the Risks and Long-Term Performance of a Daily Objective Fund" in the Fund's Prospectus.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of inverse leveraged correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its Daily Target. In addition, the Fund may not have inverse leveraged exposure to all of the instruments in the Index, its weighting of those instruments may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index. Moreover, if for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a portion of its investments, the Fund may have exposure to the Index that is significantly greater or less than the Daily Target. Any of these factors may prevent the Fund from achieving exposure consistent with the Daily Target.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Derivatives Risk** — Investing in derivatives to obtain inverse leveraged exposure may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. To the extent the Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, the Fund will be subject to the risks of that ETF including the risk that the ETF may not meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund may be subject to greater correlation risk since the performance of the ETF may not correlate to the performance of the Index. Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund's return.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Counterparty Risk** — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations. With respect to swap agreements, the terms of the agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund, including intraday (for example, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund's net assets). If an agreement is terminated, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic

developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events. As a fund seeking daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to two times the inverse (-2x) of the daily return of the Index, the value of an investment in the Fund is expected to decline when market conditions cause the level of the Index to rise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Money Market Instruments Risk** — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the financials and information technology industry groups.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Financials Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: extensive governmental regulation and/or nationalization that affects the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain; adverse effects from increases in interest rates; adverse effects on profitability by loan losses; and severe competition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Information Technology Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: intense competition, obsolescence of existing technology, and changing economic conditions and government regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with

a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Investment Results**

The bar chart below shows how the Fund's investment results have varied from year to year, and the table shows how the Fund's average annual total returns for various periods compare with different broad measures of market performance. This information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund's performance information reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. It does not reflect charges and fees associated with a separate account that invests in the Fund or any insurance contract for which it is an investment option. Charges and fees will reduce returns. Past results are not predictive of future results.

Reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. Adjusted to reflect the reinvestment of dividends paid by issuers in the Index.

Annual returns are required to be shown and should not be interpreted as suggesting that the Fund should or should not be held for longer periods of time.

**Management**

The Fund is advised by ProFund Advisors. Michael Neches, Senior Portfolio Manager, and Devin Sullivan, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since October 2013 and March 2018, respectively.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares**

Shares are available for purchase by insurance company separate accounts to serve as an investment medium for variable insurance contracts, and by qualified pension and retirement plans, certain insurance companies, and ProFund Advisors. Investors do not contact the Fund directly to purchase or redeem shares. Please refer to the prospectus of the relevant separate account for information on the allocation of premiums and on transfers of accumulated value among sub-accounts of the separate accounts that invest in the Fund.

**Tax Information**

The Fund normally distributes its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. If you are a holder of a contract or policy that invests in the Fund through an insurance company separate account, then these distributions will generally not be taxable to you; please consult the prospectus or other information provided to you by the insurance company regarding the tax consequences of your contract or policy. If you are a holder of such a contract or policy, or if you are investing through a pension or retirement plan that is a tax-advantaged arrangement, you may be taxed later upon distributions with respect to or from those contracts or arrangements. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

**Payments to Insurance Companies and Other Financial Intermediaries**

The Fund or its distributor (and related companies) may pay insurance companies, which in turn may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks and insurance companies, or their related companies) for the sale and retention of variable contracts and/or policies which offer Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest for a financial intermediary selling such variable contracts and/or policies, or may be a factor in the insurance company's decision to include the Fund as an investment option in its variable contract or policy. For more information, ask your financial advisor, visit your financial intermediary's website or consult the prospectus for the contract or policy.

**190 :: ProFund VP UltraShort Nasdaq-100**

**Investment Objective**

ProFund VP UltraShort Nasdaq-100 (the "Fund") seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to two times the inverse (-2x) of the daily performance of the Nasdaq-100<sup>®</sup> Index (the "Index").

**Important Information About the Fund**

If the Fund is successful in meeting its investment objective, it should gain approximately two times as much as the Index loses when the Index falls on a given day. Conversely, it should lose approximately two times as much as the Index gains when the Index rises on a given day. **The Fund does not seek to achieve two times the inverse (-2x) of the daily performance of the Index (the "Daily Target") for any period other than a day.**

While the Fund has a daily investment objective, you may hold Fund shares for longer than one day if you believe doing so is consistent with your goals and risk tolerance. **If you hold fund shares for any period other than a day, it is important for you to understand that over your holding period:** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Your return may be higher or lower than the Daily Target, and this difference may be significant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Factors that contribute to returns that are worse than the Daily Target include smaller Index gains or losses and higher Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Factors that contribute to returns that are better than the Daily Target include larger Index gains or losses and lower Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●The more extreme these factors are, and the more they occur together, the more your return will tend to deviate from the Daily Target.

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. The expenses shown do not reflect charges or fees associated with insurance company separate accounts or insurance contracts, which would have the effect of increasing overall expenses. Annuity and policy holders should consult the prospectus for their contract or policy for more information about such charges and fees.

The "Recoupment" line shows gross recoupment payments made by the Fund during its most recent fiscal year. In addition, at times during the fiscal year amounts were waived or reimbursed to the Fund - the gross amount of this waiver/reimbursement is shown separately in the "Fee Waivers/Reimbursements" line. The recoupment shown did not cause the Fund's expenses to exceed any expense limitation in place at the time of recoupment or the time the recouped amounts were originally waived/reimbursed.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board. Amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular contractual period may be recouped by ProFund Advisors within three years subject to certain limitations.

**Example:** This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. It does not reflect separate account or insurance contract fees or charges. If these charges were reflected, expenses would

**ProFund VP UltraShort Nasdaq-100 :: 191**

be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund invests in financial instruments that ProFund Advisors believes, in combination, should produce daily returns consistent with the Daily Target.

The Index is designed to measure the performance of 100 of the largest Nasdaq-listed non-financial companies. The Index includes non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or the Nasdaq Global Market (which include both U.S. and non-U.S. companies). The top 100 companies based on market capitalization are included in the Index. These companies are then weighted based on market capitalization. The Index's composition and the assigned weights are reevaluated every December, with additional weight adjustments occurring in March, June, and September. The Index is constructed and maintained by Nasdaq Inc. More information about the Index can be found using the Bloomberg ticker symbol "NDX."

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will obtain inverse leveraged exposure to 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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 and futures contracts) in order to gain inverse leveraged exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Futures Contracts** — Standardized contracts that obligate the parties to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price and date in the future.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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 daily returns consistent with the Daily Target. For these purposes a day is measured from the time of one net asset value ("NAV") calculation to the next.

The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in financial instruments that, in combination, provide inverse leveraged exposure consistent with the investment objective, without regard to market conditions, trends or direction. However, the Fund may 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 inverse leveraged exposure consistent with the investment objective.

The Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio each day so that its exposure to the Index is consistent with the Daily Target. The Index's movements during the day will affect whether the Fund's portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the Index has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall (assuming there were no shares issued). As a result, the Fund's exposure will need to be decreased. Conversely, if the Index has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise (assuming there were no share redemptions). As a result, the Fund's exposure will need to be increased.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Short or Inverse Investing Risk** — You will lose money when the Index rises – a result that is the opposite from a traditional index fund. Obtaining inverse or "short" exposure may be considered an aggressive investment technique. The costs of obtaining this short exposure will lower your returns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Leverage Risk** — The Fund uses leverage and will lose more money when the value of the Index rises than a similar fund that does not use leverage. The use of leverage increases the risk of a total loss of your investment. If the Index approaches a 50% gain at any point in the day, you could lose your entire investment. As a result, an investment in the Fund may not be suitable for all investors. The use of leverage increases the volatility of your returns. The cost of obtaining this leverage will lower your returns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Holding Period Risk** — The performance of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will likely differ from the Daily Target. This difference may be significant. **If you are considering holding fund shares for longer than a day, it's important that you understand the impact of the return and volatility (how much the value of the Index moves up and down from day-to-day) of the Index on your holding period return.** The volatility of the Index has a negative impact on Fund returns. During periods of higher volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the Fund's returns as much as or more than the return of the Index.

The following table illustrates the impact of the volatility and return of the Index on Fund returns for a hypothetical one-year period. However, these effects will impact your return for any holding period other than a day. **The longer you hold shares of the Fund, the more magnified these effects will be. As a result, you should consider monitoring your investments in the Fund in light of your individual investment goals and risk tolerance.** 

In the table areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than the Daily Target. As the table shows, your return will tend to be worse than the Daily Target when there are smaller gains or losses and higher volatility in the Index. Your return will tend to be better than the Daily Target when there are larger gains or losses and lower volatility in the Index. You may lose money when the return of the Index is flat (i.e., close to zero) and you may lose money when the Index falls.

The table uses hypothetical annualized volatility and returns of the Index to illustrate the impact of these two factors on Fund performance over a one-year period. It does not represent actual returns. Each row corresponds to the level of a hypothetical return of the Index for a one-year period. Each column corresponds to a level of hypothetical annualized

volatility of the Index. For example, the Fund may mistakenly be expected to achieve a -40% return on a yearly basis if the annual return of the Index were 20%. However, as the table shows, with a one-year return of the Index of 20% and an annualized volatility of the Index of 50%, the Fund could be expected to return -67.2%.

Assumes: (a) no dividends paid with respect to securities included in the Index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain inverse leveraged exposure) of zero percent. If these were included the Fund's performance would be different from that shown.

The annualized historical volatility rate for the Index for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 22.92%. The highest December to December volatility rate for the Index during the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 32.49% (December 31, 2022). The annualized total return performance of the Index for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 15.29%. The historical volatility and performance of the Index do not predict future volatility and performance of the Index.

For more information, including additional graphs and charts demonstrating the effects of the volatility and return of the Index on the long-term performance of the Fund, see "Understanding the Risks and Long-Term Performance of a Daily Objective Fund" in the Fund's Prospectus.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of inverse leveraged correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its Daily Target. In addition, the Fund may not have inverse leveraged exposure to all of the instruments in the Index, its weighting of those instruments may be different from that of

------

**ProFund VP UltraShort Nasdaq-100 :: 193**

the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index. Moreover, if for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a portion of its investments, the Fund may have exposure to the Index that is significantly greater or less than the Daily Target. Any of these factors may prevent the Fund from achieving exposure consistent with the Daily Target.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Derivatives Risk** — Investing in derivatives to obtain inverse leveraged exposure may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. To the extent the Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, the Fund will be subject to the risks of that ETF including the risk that the ETF may not meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund may be subject to greater correlation risk since the performance of the ETF may not correlate to the performance of the Index. Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund's return.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Counterparty Risk** — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations. With respect to swap agreements, the terms of the agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund, including intraday (for example, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund's net assets). If an agreement is terminated, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events. As a fund seeking daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to two times the inverse (-2x) of the daily return of the Index, the value of an investment in the Fund is expected to decline when market conditions cause the level of the Index to rise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Money Market Instruments Risk** — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in

government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the communication services and information technology industry groups.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Communication Services Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: product obsolescence; increased research and development costs and capital requirements to formulate new products and services; and regulation by the Federal Communications Commission and various state regulatory authorities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Information Technology Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: intense competition, obsolescence of existing technology, and changing economic conditions and government regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Investment Results**

The bar chart below shows how the Fund's investment results have varied from year to year, and the table shows how the Fund's average annual total returns for various periods compare with a broad measure of market performance. This information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund's performance information reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. It does not reflect charges and fees associated with a separate account that invests in the Fund or any insurance contract for which it is an investment option. Charges and fees will reduce returns. Past results are not predictive of future results.

Reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. Adjusted to reflect the reinvestment of dividends paid by issuers in the Index.

Annual returns are required to be shown and should not be interpreted as suggesting that the Fund should or should not be held for longer periods of time.

**Management**

The Fund is advised by ProFund Advisors. Michael Neches, Senior Portfolio Manager, and Devin Sullivan, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since October 2013 and March 2018, respectively.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares**

Shares are available for purchase by insurance company separate accounts to serve as an investment medium for variable insurance contracts, and by qualified pension and retirement plans, certain insurance companies, and ProFund Advisors. Investors do not contact the Fund directly to purchase or redeem shares. Please refer to the prospectus of the relevant separate account for information on the allocation of premiums and on transfers of accumulated value among sub-accounts of the separate accounts that invest in the Fund.

**Tax Information**

The Fund normally distributes its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. If you are a holder of a contract or policy that invests in the Fund through an insurance company separate account, then these distributions will generally not be taxable to you; please consult the prospectus or other information provided to you by the insurance company regarding the tax consequences of your contract or policy. If you are a holder of such a contract or policy, or if you are investing through a pension or retirement plan that is a tax-advantaged arrangement, you may be taxed later upon distributions with respect to or from those contracts or arrangements. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

**Payments to Insurance Companies and Other Financial Intermediaries**

The Fund or its distributor (and related companies) may pay insurance companies, which in turn may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks and insurance companies, or their related companies) for the sale and retention of variable contracts and/or policies which offer Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest for a financial intermediary selling such variable contracts and/or policies, or may be a factor in the insurance company's decision to include the Fund as an investment option in its variable contract or policy. For more information, ask your financial advisor, visit your financial intermediary's website or consult the prospectus for the contract or policy.

**ProFund VP UltraSmall-Cap :: 195**

**Investment Objective**

ProFund VP UltraSmall-Cap (the "Fund") seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to two times (2x) the daily performance of the Russell 2000<sup>®</sup> Index (the "Index").

**Important Information About the Fund**

If the Fund is successful in meeting its investment objective, it should gain approximately two times as much as the Index when the Index rises on a given day. Conversely, it should lose approximately two times as much as the Index when the Index falls on a given day. **The Fund does not seek to achieve two times (2x) the daily performance of theIndex (the "Daily Target") for any period other than a day.**

While the Fund has a daily investment objective, you may hold Fund shares for longer than one day if you believe doing so is consistent with your goals and risk tolerance. **If you hold fund shares for any period other than a day, it is important for you to understand that over your holding period:** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Your return may be higher or lower than the Daily Target, and this difference may be significant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Factors that contribute to returns that are worse than the Daily Target include smaller Index gains or losses and higher Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Factors that contribute to returns that are better than the Daily Target include larger Index gains or losses and lower Index volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●The more extreme these factors are, and the more they occur together, the more your return will tend to deviate from the Daily Target.

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. The expenses shown do not reflect charges or fees associated with insurance company separate accounts or insurance contracts, which would have the effect of increasing overall expenses. Annuity and policy holders should consult the prospectus for their contract or policy for more information about such charges and fees.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to

waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board. Amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular contractual period may be recouped by ProFund Advisors within three years subject to certain limitations.

**Example:** This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. It does not reflect separate account or insurance contract fees or charges. If these charges were reflected, expenses would be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

---

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 28% of the average value of its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund invests in financial instruments that ProFund Advisors believes, in combination, should produce daily returns consistent with the Daily Target.

The Index is designed to measure the performance of the small-cap segment of the U.S. markets. The Index selects the 2000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index based on market capitalization. The Russell 3000 Index is designed to measure the performance of the largest 3,000 U.S. companies. As of December 31, 2025, the market capitalization of each company within the Index was below $26 billion. The selected companies are then weighted based on market capitalization. The Index's composition and the assigned weights are reevaluated each June. The Index is constructed and maintained by FTSE Russell. More

information about the Index can be found using the Bloomberg ticker symbol "RTY."

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will obtain leveraged exposure to 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity Securities** — Common stock issued by public companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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 and futures contracts) in order to gain leveraged exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Futures Contracts** — Standardized contracts that obligate the parties to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price and date in the future.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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 daily returns consistent with the Daily Target. For these purposes a day is measured from the time of one net asset value ("NAV") calculation to the next.

The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in financial instruments that, in combination, provide leveraged exposure consistent with the investment objective, without regard to market conditions, trends or direction. However, the Fund may 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 leveraged exposure consistent with the investment objective.

The Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio each day so that its exposure to the Index is consistent with the Daily Target. The Index's movements during the day will affect whether the Fund's portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the Index has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise (assuming there were no share redemptions). As a result, the Fund's exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the Index has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall (assuming there were no shares issued). As a result, the Fund's exposure will need to be decreased.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Leverage Risk** — The Fund uses leverage and will lose more money when the value of the Index falls than a similar fund that does not use leverage. The use of leverage increases the risk of a total loss of your investment. If the Index approaches a 50% loss at any point in the day, you could lose your entire investment. As a result, an investment in the Fund may not be suitable for all investors. The use of leverage increases the volatility of your returns. The cost of obtaining this leverage will lower your returns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Holding Period Risk** — The performance of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will likely differ from the Daily Target. This difference may be significant. **If you are considering holding fund shares for longer than a day, it's important that you understand the impact of the return and volatility (how much the value of the Index moves up and down from day-to-day) of the Index on your holding period return.** The volatility of the Index has a negative impact on Fund returns. During periods of higher volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the Fund's returns as much as or more than the return of the Index.

The following table illustrates the impact of the volatility and return of the Index on Fund returns for a hypothetical one-year period. However, these effects will impact your return for any holding period other than a day. **The longer you hold shares of the Fund, the more magnified these effects will be. As a result, you should consider monitoring your investments in the Fund in light of your individual investment goals and risk tolerance.** 

In the table areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than the Daily Target. As the table shows, your return will tend to be worse than the Daily Target when there are smaller gains or losses and higher volatility in the Index. Your return will tend to be better than the Daily Target when there are larger gains or

------

**ProFund VP UltraSmall-Cap :: 197**

losses and lower volatility in the Index. You may lose money when the return of the Index is flat (i.e., close to zero) and you may lose money when the Index rises.

The table uses hypothetical annualized volatility and returns of the Index to illustrate the impact of these two factors on Fund performance over a one-year period. It does not represent actual returns. Each row corresponds to the level of a hypothetical return of the Index for a one-year period. Each column corresponds to a level of hypothetical annualized volatility of the Index. For example, the Fund may mistakenly be expected to achieve a -40% return on a yearly basis if the annual return of the Index were -20%. However, as the table shows, with a one-year return of the Index of -20% and an annualized volatility of the Index of 50%, the Fund could be expected to return -50.2%.

Assumes: (a) no dividends paid with respect to securities included in the Index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain leveraged exposure) of zero percent. If these were included the Fund's performance would be different from that shown.

The annualized historical volatility rate for the Index for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 22.96%. The highest December to December volatility rate for the Index during the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 28.13% (December 31, 2022). The annualized total return performance of the Index for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 6.09%. The historical volatility and performance of the Index do not predict future volatility and performance of the Index.

For more information, including additional graphs and charts demonstrating the effects of the volatility and return of the Index on the long-term performance of the Fund, see "Understanding the Risks and Long-Term Performance of a Daily Objective Fund" in the Fund's Prospectus.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of leveraged correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its Daily Target. In addition, the Fund may not have leveraged exposure to all of the instruments in the Index, its weighting of those instruments may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index. Moreover, if for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a portion of its investments, the Fund may have exposure to the Index that is significantly greater or less than the Daily Target. Any of these factors may prevent the Fund from achieving exposure consistent with the Daily Target.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Derivatives Risk** — Investing in derivatives to obtain leveraged exposure may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. To the extent the Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, the Fund will be subject to the risks of that ETF including the risk that the ETF may not meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund may be subject to greater correlation risk since the performance of the ETF may not correlate to the performance of the Index. Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund's return.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Counterparty Risk** — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations. With respect to swap agreements, the terms of the agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund, including intraday (for example, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund's net assets). If an agreement is terminated, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Small-Cap Company Investment Risk** — The risk of equity investing may be particularly acute for securities of issuers with smaller market capitalizations. Small-cap companies may have limited product lines or resources, may be dependent upon a particular market niche and may have greater fluctuations in price than the stocks of larger companies. Small-cap companies may lack the financial and personnel resources to handle economic or industry-wide setbacks and, as a result, such setbacks could have a greater effect on small-cap security prices. Additionally, small-cap company stocks may trade at greater spreads or lower trading volumes, and may be less liquid than the stocks of larger companies. Further, stocks of small-sized companies could be more difficult to liquidate during market downturns compared to larger, more widely traded companies.

------

**198 :: ProFund VP UltraSmall-Cap**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Money Market Instruments Risk** — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the financials, health care and industrials industry groups.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Financials Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: extensive governmental regulation and/or nationalization that affects the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain; adverse effects from increases in interest rates; adverse effects on profitability by loan losses; and severe competition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Health Care Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: heavy dependence on patent protection; litigation and product liability expense; the long and costly process for obtaining new product approval by the Food and Drug Administration; and product obsolescence.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Industrials Industry Risk** — Companies in this industry may experience: adverse effects on stock prices by supply

and demand both for their specific product or service and for industrials industry products in general; declining demand; and changing government regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Investment Results**

The bar chart below shows how the Fund's investment results have varied from year to year, and the table shows how the Fund's average annual total returns for various periods compare with different broad measures of market performance. This information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund's performance information reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. It does not reflect charges and fees associated with a separate account

Annual returns are required to be shown and should not be interpreted as suggesting that the Fund should or should not be held for longer periods of time.

**Management**

The Fund is advised by ProFund Advisors. Michael Neches, Senior Portfolio Manager, and Devin Sullivan, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since October 2013 and March 2018, respectively.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares**

Shares are available for purchase by insurance company separate accounts to serve as an investment medium for variable insurance contracts, and by qualified pension and retirement plans, certain insurance companies, and ProFund Advisors. Investors do not contact the Fund directly to purchase or redeem shares. Please refer to the prospectus of the relevant separate account for information on the allocation of premiums and on transfers of accumulated value among sub-accounts of the separate accounts that invest in the Fund.

**Tax Information**

The Fund normally distributes its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. If you are a holder of a contract or policy that invests in the Fund through an insurance company separate account, then these distributions will generally not be taxable to you; please consult the prospectus or other information provided to you by the insurance company regarding the tax consequences of your contract or policy. If you are a holder of such a contract or policy, or if you are investing through a pension or retirement plan that is a tax-advantaged arrangement, you may be taxed later upon distributions with respect to or from those contracts or arrangements. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

**Payments to Insurance Companies and Other Financial Intermediaries**

The Fund or its distributor (and related companies) may pay insurance companies, which in turn may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks and insurance companies, or their related companies) for the sale and retention of variable contracts and/or policies which offer Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest for a financial intermediary selling such variable contracts and/or policies, or may be a factor in the insurance company's decision to include the Fund as an investment option in its variable contract or policy. For more information, ask your financial advisor, visit your financial intermediary's website or consult the prospectus for the contract or policy.

**200 :: ProFund VP U.S. Government Plus**

**Investment Objective**

ProFund VP U.S. Government Plus (the "Fund") seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to one and one-quarter times (1.25x) the daily performance of the most recently issued 30-Year U.S. Treasury Bond (the "Long Bond").

**Important Information About the Fund**

If the Fund is successful in meeting its investment objective, it should gain approximately one and one-quarter times as much as the Long Bond when the Long Bond rises on a given day. Conversely, it should lose approximately one and one-quarter times as much as the Long Bond when the Long Bond falls on a given day. **The Fund does not seek to achieve one and one-quarter times (1.25x) the daily performance of theLong Bond (the "Daily Target") for any period other than a day.**

While the Fund has a daily investment objective, you may hold Fund shares for longer than one day if you believe doing so is consistent with your goals and risk tolerance. **If you hold fund shares for any period other than a day, it is important for you to understand that over your holding period:** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Your return may be higher or lower than the Daily Target, and this difference may be significant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Factors that contribute to returns that are worse than the Daily Target include smaller Long Bond gains or losses and higher Long Bond volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Factors that contribute to returns that are better than the Daily Target include larger Long Bond gains or losses and lower Long Bond volatility, as well as longer holding periods when these factors apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●The more extreme these factors are, and the more they occur together, the more your return will tend to deviate from the Daily Target.

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. The expenses shown do not reflect charges or fees associated with insurance company separate accounts or insurance contracts, which would have the effect of increasing overall expenses. Annuity and policy holders should consult the prospectus for their contract or policy for more information about such charges and fees.

The "Recoupment" line shows gross recoupment payments made by the Fund during its most recent fiscal year. In addition, at times during the fiscal year amounts were waived or reimbursed to the Fund - the gross amount of this waiver/reimbursement is shown separately in the "Fee Waivers/Reimbursements" line. The recoupment shown did not cause the Fund's expenses to exceed any expense limitation in place at the time of recoupment or the time the recouped amounts were originally waived/reimbursed.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.38% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board. Amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular contractual period may be recouped by ProFund Advisors within three years subject to certain limitations.

**Example:** This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. It does not reflect separate account or insurance contract fees or charges. If these charges were reflected, expenses would be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities and derivatives. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 394% of the average value of its portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund invests in financial instruments that ProFund Advisors believes, in combination, should produce daily returns consistent with the Daily Target.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will obtain leveraged exposure to at least 80% of its total assets in components of the Long Bond or in instruments with similar economic characteristics.

The Fund will invest principally in the financial instruments listed below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**U.S. Government Debt Securities** — The Fund invests in U.S. government securities, which are issued by the U.S. government or one of its agencies or instrumentalities, including U.S. Treasury securities. Some, but not all, U.S. government securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the federal government. Other U.S. government securities are backed by the issuer's right to borrow from the U.S. Treasury and some are backed only by the credit of the issuing organization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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 and futures contracts) in order to gain leveraged exposure to the Long Bond. These derivatives principally include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Futures Contracts** — Standardized contracts that obligate the parties to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price and date in the future.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**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 daily returns consistent with the Daily Target. For these purposes a day is measured from the time of one net asset value ("NAV") calculation to the next.

The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in financial instruments that, in combination, provide leveraged exposure consistent with the investment objective, without regard to market conditions, trends or direction.

The Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio each day so that its exposure to the Long Bond is consistent with the Daily Target. The Long Bond's movements during the day will affect whether the Fund's portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the Long Bond has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise (assuming there were no share redemptions). As a result, the Fund's exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the Long Bond has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall (assuming there were no shares issued). As a result, the Fund's exposure will need to be decreased.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Leverage Risk** — The Fund uses leverage and will lose more money when the value of the Long Bond falls than a similar fund that does not use leverage. The use of leverage increases the risk of a total loss of your investment. If the Long Bond approaches a 80% loss at any point in the day, you could lose your entire investment. As a result, an investment in the Fund

------

**202 :: ProFund VP U.S. Government Plus**

may not be suitable for all investors. The use of leverage increases the volatility of your returns. The cost of obtaining this leverage will lower your returns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Holding Period Risk** — The performance of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will likely differ from the Daily Target. This difference may be significant. **If you are considering holding fund shares for longer than a day, it's important that you understand the impact of the return and volatility (how much the value of the Long Bond moves up and down from day-to-day) of the Long Bond on your holding period return.** The volatility of the Long Bond has a negative impact on Fund returns. During periods of higher volatility, the volatility of the Long Bond may affect the Fund's returns as much as or more than the return of the Long Bond.

The following table illustrates the impact of the volatility and return of the Long Bond on Fund returns for a hypothetical one-year period. However, these effects will impact your return for any holding period other than a day. **The longer you hold shares of the Fund, the more magnified these effects will be. As a result, you should consider monitoring your investments in the Fund in light of your individual investment goals and risk tolerance.** 

In the table areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than the Daily Target. As the table shows, your return will tend to be worse than the Daily Target when there are smaller gains or losses and higher volatility in the Long Bond. Your return will tend to be better than the Daily Target when there are larger gains or losses and lower volatility in the Long Bond. You may lose money when the return of the Long Bond is flat (i.e., close to zero) and you may lose money when the Long Bond rises.

The table uses hypothetical annualized volatility and returns of the Long Bond to illustrate the impact of these two factors on Fund performance over a one-year period. It does not represent actual returns. Each row corresponds to the level of a hypothetical return of the Long Bond for a one-year period. Each column corresponds to a level of hypothetical annualized volatility of the Long Bond. For example, the Fund may mistakenly be expected to achieve a -25% return on a yearly basis if the annual return of the Long Bond were -20%. However, as the table shows, with a one-year return of the Long Bond of -20% and an annualized volatility of the Long Bond of 50%, the Fund could be expected to return -27.2%.

Assumes: (a) no dividends paid with respect to securities included in the Long Bond; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain leveraged exposure) of zero percent. If these were included the Fund's performance would be different from that shown.

The annualized historical volatility rate for the Long Bond for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 16.51%. The highest December to December volatility rate for the Long Bond during the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was 21.63% (December 31, 2022). The annualized total return performance of the Long Bond for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was -9.22%. The historical volatility and performance of the Long Bond do not predict future volatility and performance of the Long Bond.

For more information, including additional graphs and charts demonstrating the effects of the volatility and return of the Long Bond on the long-term performance of the Fund, see "Understanding the Risks and Long-Term Performance of a Daily Objective Fund" in the Fund's Prospectus.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of leveraged correlation with the Long Bond. Fees, expenses, transaction costs,

------

**ProFund VP U.S. Government Plus :: 203**

financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its Daily Target. In addition, the Fund may not have leveraged exposure to all of the instruments in the Long Bond, its weighting of those instruments may be different from that of the Long Bond, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Long Bond. Moreover, if for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a portion of its investments, the Fund may have exposure to the Long Bond that is significantly greater or less than the Daily Target. Any of these factors may prevent the Fund from achieving exposure consistent with the Daily Target.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Derivatives Risk** — Investing in derivatives to obtain leveraged exposure may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks including counterparty risk and correlation risk. The Fund may lose money if its derivatives do not perform as expected and may even lose money if they do perform as expected. To the extent the Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, the Fund will be subject to the risks of that ETF including the risk that the ETF may not meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund may be subject to greater correlation risk since the performance of the ETF may not correlate to the performance of the Long Bond. Any costs associated with using derivatives will reduce the Fund's return.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Counterparty Risk** — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations. With respect to swap agreements, the terms of the agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund, including intraday (for example, if the Long Bond has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund's net assets). If an agreement is terminated, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve its investment objective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**U.S. Treasury Market Risk** — The U.S. Treasury market can be volatile, and the value of instruments correlated with these markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. U.S. Treasury obligations may provide relatively lower returns than those of other securities. Similar to other debt instruments, U.S. Treasury obligations are subject to debt instrument risk and interest rate risk. In addition, changes to the financial condition or credit rating of the U.S. Government may cause the value of U.S. Treasury obligations to decline.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Debt Instrument Risk** — Debt instruments are subject to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market and economic developments, as well as developments that affect specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. Debt markets can be volatile and the value of instruments correlated with these markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Interest Rate Risk** — Interest rate risk is the risk that debt instruments or related financial instruments may fluctuate in

value due to changes in interest rates. A wide variety of factors can cause interest rates to fluctuate (e.g., central bank monetary policies, fiscal or other government policies, inflation rates, general economic conditions, etc.). Commonly, investments subject to interest rate risk will decrease in value when interest rates rise and increase in value when interest rates decline. A rising interest rate environment may cause the value of debt instruments to decrease and adversely impact the liquidity of debt instruments. Without taking into account other factors, the value of securities with longer maturities typically fluctuates more in response to interest rate changes than securities with shorter maturities. These factors may cause the value of an investment in the Fund to change.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Money Market Instruments Risk** — Adverse economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Non-Diversification Risk** — The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Investment Results**

The bar chart below shows how the Fund's investment results have varied from year to year, and the table shows how the Fund's average annual total returns for various periods compare with different broad measures of market performance. This information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund's performance information reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. It does

Reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes.

Annual returns are required to be shown and should not be interpreted as suggesting that the Fund should or should not be held for longer periods of time.

**Management**

The Fund is advised by ProFund Advisors. Alexander Ilyasov, Senior Portfolio Manager, and James Linneman, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since April 2019 and March 2022, respectively.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares**

Shares are available for purchase by insurance company separate accounts to serve as an investment medium for variable insurance contracts, and by qualified pension and retirement plans, certain insurance companies, and ProFund Advisors. Investors do not contact the Fund directly to purchase or redeem shares. Please refer to the prospectus of the relevant separate account for information on the allocation of premiums and on transfers of accumulated value among sub-accounts of the separate accounts that invest in the Fund.

**Tax Information**

The Fund normally distributes its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. If you are a holder of a contract or policy that invests in the Fund through an insurance company separate account, then these distributions will generally not be taxable to you; please consult the prospectus or other information provided to you by the insurance company regarding the tax consequences of your contract or policy. If you are a holder of such a contract or policy, or if you are investing through a pension or retirement plan that is a tax-advantaged arrangement, you may be taxed later upon distributions with respect to or from those contracts or arrangements. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

**Payments to Insurance Companies and Other Financial Intermediaries**

The Fund or its distributor (and related companies) may pay insurance companies, which in turn may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks and insurance companies, or their related companies) for the sale and retention of variable contracts and/or policies which offer Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest for a financial intermediary selling such variable contracts and/or policies, or may be a factor in the insurance company's decision to include the Fund as an investment option in its variable contract or policy. For more information, ask your financial advisor, visit your financial intermediary's website or consult the prospectus for the contract or policy.

**Investment Objective**

ProFund VP Utilities (the "Fund") seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the performance of the S&P Utilities Select Sector Index (the "Index").

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. The expenses shown do not reflect charges or fees associated with insurance company separate accounts or insurance contracts, which would have the effect of increasing overall expenses.

The "Recoupment" line shows gross recoupment payments made by the Fund during its most recent fiscal year. In addition, at times during the fiscal year amounts were waived or reimbursed to the Fund - the gross amount of this waiver/reimbursement is shown separately in the "Fee Waivers/Reimbursements" line. The recoupment shown did not cause the Fund's expenses to exceed any expense limitation in place at the time of recoupment or the time the recouped amounts were originally waived/reimbursed.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has agreed to waive fees and to reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.68% through April 30, 2027. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board. Amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular contractual period may be recouped by ProFund Advisors within three years subject to certain limitations.

**Example:** This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year.

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 800% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund invests in securities that ProFund Advisors believes, in combination, should track the performance of the Index.

The Index is designed to measure the performance of utilities companies included in the S&P 500 Index. The S&P 500 Index is designed to measure the performance of 500 of the largest companies listed and domiciled in the U.S. The Index includes utilities companies in the following industries according to theGlobal Industry Classification Standard (GICS): electric utilities; gas utilities; multi-utilities; water utilities; and independent power and renewable electricity producers. These companies are then weighted based on market capitalization. The Index's composition and the assigned weights are reevaluated every September with additional weight adjustments in March, June, 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 "IXU."

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 securities listed below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity Securities** — Common stock issued by public companies.

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

**206 :: ProFund VP Utilities**

financial instruments, with the intent of obtaining exposure consistent with the investment objective.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

**You could lose money by investing in the Fund.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Utilities Industry Risk** — The risks of investments in the industry include: review and limitation of rates by governmental regulatory commissions; the fact that the value of regulated utility debt instruments (and, to a lesser extent, equity securities) tends to have an inverse relationship to the movement of interest rates; the risk that utilities may engage in riskier ventures where they have little or no experience; and the fact that deregulation allows utilities to diversify outside of their original geographic regions and their traditional lines of business and create greater competition, which may adversely affect profitability due to lower operating margins, higher costs and diversification into unprofitable business lines.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Equity and Market Risk** — Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund's exposure may not be consistent with the Index. For example, the Fund may not have exposure to all of the securities in the Index, its weighting of securities may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the utilities industry group.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Index Performance Risk** — The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProFund Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk** — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Investment Results**

The bar chart below shows how the Fund's investment results have varied from year to year, and the table shows how the Fund's average annual total returns for various periods compare with different broad measures of market performance. This information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund's performance information reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. It does not reflect charges and fees associated with a separate account that invests in the Fund or any insurance contract for which it is an investment option. Charges and fees will reduce returns. Past results are not predictive of future results.

Reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. Adjusted to reflect the reinvestment of dividends paid by issuers in the Index.

**Management**

The Fund is advised by ProFund Advisors. Michael Neches, Senior Portfolio Manager, and Tarak Davé, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since October 2013 and March 2018, respectively.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares**

Shares are available for purchase by insurance company separate accounts to serve as an investment medium for variable

insurance contracts, and by qualified pension and retirement plans, certain insurance companies, and ProFund Advisors. Investors do not contact the Fund directly to purchase or redeem shares. Please refer to the prospectus of the relevant separate account for information on the allocation of premiums and on transfers of accumulated value among sub-accounts of the separate accounts that invest in the Fund.

**Tax Information**

The Fund normally distributes its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. If you are a holder of a contract or policy that invests in the Fund through an insurance company separate account, then these distributions will generally not be taxable to you; please consult the prospectus or other information provided to you by the insurance company regarding the tax consequences of your contract or policy. If you are a holder of such a contract or policy, or if you are investing through a pension or retirement plan that is a tax-advantaged arrangement, you may be taxed later upon distributions with respect to or from those contracts or arrangements. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

**Payments to Insurance Companies and Other Financial Intermediaries**

The Fund or its distributor (and related companies) may pay insurance companies, which in turn may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks and insurance companies, or their related companies) for the sale and retention of variable contracts and/or policies which offer Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest for a financial intermediary selling such variable contracts and/or policies, or may be a factor in the insurance company's decision to include the Fund as an investment option in its variable contract or policy. For more information, ask your financial advisor, visit your financial intermediary's website or consult the prospectus for the contract or policy.

**208 :: ProFund VP Government Money Market**

**Investment Objective**

ProFund VP Government Money Market (the "Fund") seeks a high level of current income consistent with liquidity and preservation of capital.

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. The expenses shown do not reflect charges or fees associated with insurance company separate accounts or insurance contracts, which would have the effect of increasing overall expenses. Annuity and policy holders should consult the prospectus for their contract or policy for more information about such charges and fees.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has contractually undertaken to waive its fees and/or reimburse expenses to maintain the minimum yield floor limit at 0.02% through April 30, 2027 ("Minimum Yield"). ProFund Advisors has contractually agreed to waive Investment Advisory and Management Services Fees and to reimburse Other Expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 0.90% through April 30, 2027. After such date, the expense limitation may be terminated or revised by ProFund Advisors. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board. ProFund Advisors may recoup from the Fund any of the fees or expenses it has waived and/or reimbursed until the third anniversary of the end of the 12 month period ending April 30 in which such waiver and/or reimbursement occurs, to the extent that such recoupment would not cause the Fund's net yield to fall below the Fund's previously determined Minimum Yield or the expenses to exceed the overall expense ratio limit in effect at the time of the waiver and/or reimbursement.

**Example:** This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/

expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. It does not reflect separate account or insurance contract fees or charges. If these charges were reflected, expenses would be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund invests substantially all, but at least 99.5% of its total assets, in cash, U.S. Government Securities, and/or repurchase agreements that are fully collateralized by these instruments. The Fund seeks to maintain a stable $1.00 share price and is subject to the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit, nor is it insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. While the Fund seeks to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, there is no guarantee that the Fund will do so.

The Fund will invest principally in the financial instruments listed below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**U.S. Government Securities** — The Fund invests in obligations of the U.S. Department of the Treasury ("U.S. Treasury"), including Treasury bills and notes and other obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. These debt securities carry different interest rates, maturities and issue dates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Repurchase Agreements** — Contracts in which a seller of securities, in this case U.S. Government securities, agrees to buy the securities back at a specified time and price.

In order to seek to maintain a stable share price, the Fund maintains a dollar-weighted average maturity of 60 days or less. Generally, securities in the Fund are denominated in U.S. dollars and have remaining maturities of 397 days (about 13 months) or less on their purchase date. The Fund also may invest in securities that have features (such as interest rate readjustments and demand features) that reduce their effective maturities to 397 days or less on their purchase date. The Fund may hold cash for cash management and defensive purposes. During unusual circumstances, the Fund may hold up to 100% of its assets in cash.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**ProFund VP Government Money Market :: 209**

**Principal Risks**

The Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Fund's sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the Fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the Fund at any time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Money Market Fund Risk** — The share price of money market funds can fall below the $1.00 share price. You should not rely on or expect ProFund Advisors to enter into support agreements or take other actions to maintain the Fund's $1.00 share price. The credit quality of the Fund's holdings can change rapidly in certain markets, and the default of a single holding could have an adverse impact on the Fund's share price. The Fund's share price can also be negatively affected during periods of high redemption pressures and/or illiquid markets. The actions of a few large investors in the Fund may have a significant adverse effect on the share price of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Credit Risk** — The Fund's performance could be hurt and the Fund's share price could fall below $1.00 if an issuer of a debt security suffers an adverse change in financial condition that results in the issuer not making timely payments of interest or principal, a security downgrade or an inability to make a financial obligation. Some securities issued by U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Other securities that are supported only by the credit of the issuing agency or instrumentality are subject to greater credit risk than securities backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. This is because the U.S. Government might provide financial support, but has no obligation to do so, if there is a potential or actual loss of principal or failure to make interest payments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Interest Rate Risk** — Interest rate risk is the risk that debt instruments or related financial instruments will fluctuate in value due to changes in interest rates. A wide variety of factors can cause interest rates to rise (e.g., central bank monetary policies, inflation rates, general economic conditions, etc.). Commonly, investments subject to interest rate risk will decrease in value when interest rates rise and increase in value when interest rates decline. A rising interest rate environment may cause the value of debt instruments to decrease and adversely impact the liquidity of debt instruments. Without taking into account other factors, the value of debt instruments with longer maturities typically fluctuates more in response to interest rate changes than debt instruments with shorter maturities. During periods of rising interest rates, the Fund's yield will tend to be lower than prevailing market rates. These factors may cause the value of an investment in the Fund to change. A low interest rate

environment may prevent the Fund from providing a positive yield or paying Fund expenses out of current income and, at times, could impair the Fund's ability to maintain a stable $1.00 share price. Over time, the total return of a money market fund may not keep pace with inflation, which could result in a net loss of purchasing power for long-term investors. If there is an insufficient supply of U.S. government securities to meet investor demand, it could result in lower yields on such securities and increase interest rate risk for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Counterparty Risk** — The Fund may lose money if a counterparty does not meet its contractual obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Prepayment and Extension Risk** — When a bond issuer, such as an issuer of asset-backed securities, retains the right to pay off a high-yielding bond before it comes due, the Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds at lower interest rates. Thus, prepayment may reduce the Fund's income. When interest rates fall, issuers of high interest debt obligations may pay off the debts earlier than expected (prepayment risk), and the Portfolio may have to reinvest the proceeds at lower yields. When interest rates rise, issuers of lower interest debt obligations may have the right to pay off the debts later than expected (extension risk), thus keeping the Fund's assets tied up in lower interest debt obligations. Ultimately, any unexpected behavior in interest rates could increase the volatility of the Fund's yield and could hurt Fund performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Risks of Holding Cash** — The Fund will at times hold cash positions, which may hurt the Fund's performance. Cash positions may also subject the Fund to additional risks and costs including any fees imposed by the Fund's custodian for large cash balances.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Repurchase Agreement Risk** — If the party that sells the securities to the Portfolio defaults on its obligation to repurchase them at the agreed-upon time and price, the Portfolio could lose money.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Security Selection Risk** — While the Fund invests in short-term securities, which by nature should be relatively stable investments, it is possible that the securities in which the Fund invests will not perform as expected. This could cause the Fund's yield to lag behind those of similar money market funds and could result in a decline in share price.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

The Classic ProFunds VP, Ultra ProFunds VP, Inverse ProFunds VP, Sector ProFunds VP, Non-Equity ProFunds VP, Actively Managed ProFunds VP and ProFund VP Government Money Market are each a "ProFund VP" or "Fund" and collectively, the "ProFunds VP" or "Funds".

This section contains additional details about each Fund's investment objective, principal investment strategies and related risks.

**Investment Objectives**

Each Fund is a series of ProFunds (the "Trust"). Each Fund except for the Classic ProFunds VP, the Sector ProFunds VP, the ProFund Access VP High Yield, ProFund VP Falling U.S. Dollar and ProFund VP Government Money Market, is "geared" in the sense that each is designed to seek daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the inverse (-1x), a multiple (i.e., 1.25x or 2x), or an inverse multiple (i.e., -1.25x or -2x) of the daily performance of an index or security (each such index or security, a "benchmark") for a single day, not for any other period. Specifically, each of the Ultra ProFunds VP seeks to provide daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to a multiple (2x) of the daily performance of its benchmark. Each of the Inverse ProFunds VP seeks to provide daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the inverse (-1x) or an inverse multiple (-2x) of the daily performance of its benchmark. ProFund VP U.S. Government Plus seeks to provide daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to a multiple (1.25x) of the daily performance of its benchmark. ProFund VP Rising Rates Opportunity seeks to provide daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to an inverse multiple (-1.25x) of the daily performance of its benchmark. Each Fund, except for the Classic ProFunds VP, the Sector ProFunds VP, the ProFund Access VP High Yield, ProFund VP Falling U.S. Dollar and ProFund VP Government Money Market, does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective over a period of time greater than a single day. A "single day" is measured from the time a Fund

calculates its net asset value ("NAV") to the time of the Fund's next NAV calculation.

The Classic ProFunds VP, the Sector ProFunds VP, ProFund VP Falling U.S. Dollar and ProFund VP Government Money Market seek investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the performance of a benchmark. These Funds seek to achieve their stated investment objective both on a single day and over time.

ProFund Access VP High Yield seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the total return of the high yield market consistent with maintaining reasonable liquidity.

Each Fund's investment objective is non-fundamental, meaning it may be changed by the Board of Trustees ("Board"), without the approval of Fund shareholders.

Each Fund reserves the right to substitute a different index or security for its current benchmark.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

In seeking to achieve each Fund's investment objective (except for ProFund Access VP High Yield and ProFund VP Government Money Market), ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors" or the "Advisor") uses a mathematical approach to investing. Using this approach, ProFund Advisors determines the type, quantity and mix of investment positions that a Fund should hold to approximate the performance, inverse performance, or multiple thereof, as applicable, of its benchmark. Each such Fund employs

------

**Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks :: 213**

various investment techniques that ProFund Advisors believes should, in the aggregate, simulate the movement, inverse, or multiple thereof, as applicable, of their respective benchmarks.

The investment techniques utilized to simulate the movement of each applicable benchmark are intended to seek to maintain a high correlation with, and similar aggregate characteristics (e.g., with respect to equity funds, market capitalization and sector weightings) to, the benchmark or the inverse of the benchmark or multiple thereof, or otherwise benefit the Fund. For example, a Fund may invest in or gain exposure to only a representative sample of the securities in a benchmark, which exposure is intended to have aggregate characteristics similar to those of the benchmark. In addition, under certain circumstances, a Fund may invest in or obtain exposure to components not included in the benchmark or overweight or underweight certain components of the benchmark with the intent of obtaining exposure with aggregate characteristics similar to the benchmark.

In managing the assets of the Funds, ProFund Advisors does not invest the assets of a Fund in securities or financial instruments based on ProFund Advisors' view of the investment merit of a particular security, instrument, or company, other than for cash management purposes, nor does it conduct conventional investment research or analysis (other than in determining counterparty creditworthiness), or forecast market movement or trends. Each Fund generally seeks to remain fully invested at all times in securities and/or financial instruments that, in combination, provide exposure to its benchmark without regard to market conditions, trends, direction, or the financial condition of a particular issuer. Each Fund does not take temporary defensive positions.

At the close of the U.S. securities market on each trading day, each Fund (except for the Classic ProFunds VP, the Sector ProFunds VP, ProFund Access VP High Yield, ProFund VP Falling U.S. Dollar and ProFund VP Government Money Market) will seek to position its portfolio so that such Fund's investment exposure is consistent with the Fund's objective. In general, changes to the level of a Fund's benchmark each day will determine whether Fund's portfolio needs to be repositioned.

For example, if its benchmark has risen on a given day, net assets of an Inverse ProFund VP should fall (assuming no shares were issued). As a result, the Fund's short exposure will need to be decreased. Conversely, if the benchmark has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Inverse ProFund VP should rise (assuming no shares were redeemed). As a result, the Fund's short exposure will need to be increased. Similarly, if its benchmark has risen on a given day, net assets of an Ultra ProFund VP should rise (assuming no shares were redeemed). As a result, the Fund's exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the benchmark has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Ultra ProFund VP should fall (assuming no shares were issued). As a result, the Fund's exposure will need to be decreased.

The time and manner in which a Fund rebalances its portfolio may vary from day to day at the sole discretion of ProFund Advisors depending upon market conditions and other circumstances. If for any reason a Fund is unable to rebalance all or a portion of its portfolio, or if all or a portion of the portfolio is rebalanced incorrectly, the Fund's investment exposure may not be consistent with the Fund's investment objective. In these instances, a Fund may have investment exposure to its benchmark that is significantly greater or less than its stated multiple. As a result, a Fund may be more or less exposed to leverage risk than if it had been properly rebalanced and may not achieve its investment objective.

In seeking to achieve ProFund Access VP High Yield's investment objective, ProFund Advisors LLC takes into consideration, among other things, the relative liquidity of and transaction costs associated with a particular investment and industry diversification of a Fund's overall portfolio. The Advisor does not conduct fundamental analysis in managing each Fund.

ProFund Access VP High Yield is not a traditional index fund and the Fund seeks to provide investment results that correspond to the high-yield market, but does not attempt to replicate the performance of a specific index, including the index shown in the performance table. The investment techniques utilized are intended to maintain high correlation with, and similar aggregate characteristics to those of high yield debt securities ("junk bonds") and/or the high yield debt securities market ("high yield market"). For example, a Fund may gain exposure to only a representative sample of securities which is intended to have aggregate characteristics similar to those of the high yield market. In addition, a Fund may obtain exposure to components not included in the high yield market or overweight or underweight certain components contained in the high yield market.

ProFund VP Government Money Market operates as a "government money market fund," as such term is defined under federal regulations. The Fund invests substantially all, but at least 99.5%, of its total assets in cash, U.S. government securities, and/or repurchase agreements that are fully collateralized by these instruments.

The ProFund VP Government Money Market seeks to maintain a stable $1.00 share price and is subject to the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. It maintains a dollar-weighted average maturity of 60 days or less. Securities in ProFund VP Government Money Market are denominated in U.S. dollars and have remaining maturities of 397 days (about 13 months) or less on their purchase date. ProFund VP Government Money Market also may invest in securities that have features (such as interest rate readjustments and demand features) that reduce their effective maturities to 397 days or less on their purchase date.

**214 :: Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks**

While the ProFund VP Government Money Market currently does not impose a liquidity fee, the Fund may elect to do so in the future.

Please see "Principal Investment Strategies" in each Fund's Summary Prospectus for more detail about the financial instruments in which each Fund invests. Each Fund subject to a policy adopted pursuant to Rule 35d-1 under the 1940 Act (the so-called "names rule") commits to invest at least 80% of its assets (i.e., net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes), under normal circumstances, in the types of securities suggested by its name and/or investments with similar economic characteristics. Each such Fund will provide Investors with at least 60 days' written notice prior to changes in its 80% policy. For purposes of such an investment policy, "assets" includes not only the amount of a Fund's net assets attributable to investments providing direct investment exposure to the type of investments suggested by its name (e.g., the value of stocks, or the value of derivative instruments such as futures, options or options on futures), but also cash and cash equivalents that are segregated on the Fund's books and records or being used as collateral, as required by applicable regulatory guidance, or otherwise available to cover such investment exposure.

**Understanding the Risks and Long-Term Performance of a Daily Objective Fund**

ProFunds VP (other than Classic ProFunds VP, Sector ProFunds VP, the ProFund Access VP High Yield, ProFund VP Falling U.S. Dollar and ProFund VP Government Money Market) are designed to provide leveraged (i.e., 1.25x or 2x), inverse (i.e., -1x) or inverse leveraged (i.e., -1.25x or -2x) results on a daily basis (before fees and expenses). The Funds, however, are unlikely to provide a simple multiple (i.e., 2x, 1.25x, -1x, -1.25x, -2x) of a benchmark's performance over periods longer than a single day.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Why?** The hypothetical example below illustrates how daily Geared Fund returns can behave for periods longer than a single day.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○Take a hypothetical fund XYZ that seeks to double the daily performance of index XYZ. On each day, fund XYZ performs in line with its objective (2x the index's daily performance before fees and expenses). Notice that over the entire five-day period, the fund's total return is considerably less than double that of the period return of the index. For the five-day period, index XYZ gained 5.1% while fund XYZ gained 9.8% (versus 2 x 5.1% or 10.2%). In other scenarios, the return of a daily rebalanced fund could be greater than two times (2x) the index's return.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Why does this happen?** This effect is caused by compounding, which exists in all investments. Geared Fund returns for a period longer than a single day are the result of the return for each day compounded over the period and usually will differ in amount, and possibly even direction, from the Daily Target. In general, during periods of higher benchmark volatility, compounding will cause longer term results to be less than the Daily Target. This effect becomes more pronounced as volatility increases. Conversely, in periods of lower benchmark volatility, fund returns over longer periods can be higher than the Daily Target. Actual results for a particular period, before fees and expenses, are also dependent on the following factors: a) the benchmark's volatility; b) the benchmark's performance; c) period of time; d) financing rates associated with derivatives; e) other Fund expenses; and f) if applicable, dividends or interest paid with respect to the securities in the benchmark. The examples herein illustrate the impact of two principal factors — benchmark volatility and benchmark performance — on Fund performance. Similar effects exist for the Funds that seek daily returns that correlate to the inverse of a benchmark and this effect is even greater for such inverse funds. Please see the SAI for additional details.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○The graphs that follow illustrate this point. Each of the graphs shows a simulated hypothetical one year performance of a benchmark compared with the performance of a fund that perfectly achieves its investment objective. The graphs demonstrate that, for periods longer than a single day, a Geared Fund is likely to underperform or overperform (but not match) the Daily Target in the fund's investment objective. Investors should understand the consequences of holding daily rebalanced funds for periods longer than a single day, including the impact of compounding on Fund performance. Investors should consider actively monitoring and/or periodically

rebalancing their portfolios (which will possibly trigger transaction costs and tax consequences) in light of their investment goals and risk tolerance. A one-year period is used for illustrative purposes only. Deviations from the benchmark return times the fund multiple can occur over periods as short as two days (as measured from one day's NAV to the next day's NAV). An investor in a Geared Fund could potentially lose the full value of their investment within a single day.

**For Geared ProFunds**

To isolate the impact of leverage, inverse or inverse leveraged exposure, these graphs assume a) no dividends paid with respect to the securities included in the benchmark; b) no fund expenses; and c) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain required leveraged, inverse or inverse leveraged exposure) of zero percent. If these were reflected, the fund's performance would be different than that shown. Each of the graphs also assumes a volatility rate of 19%, which is an approximate average of the five-year historical annualized volatility rate of the S&P 500<sup>®</sup>, S&P MidCap 400<sup>®</sup>, Russell 2000<sup>®</sup> Index, Nasdaq-100<sup>®</sup> Index and Dow Jones Industrial Average<sup>®</sup>. A benchmark's volatility rate is a statistical measure of the magnitude of fluctuations in the returns of the benchmark. Some Funds are benchmarked to different indexes that have different historical volatility rates; certain of the Funds' historical volatility rates are substantially in excess of 19%.

● **What it means to you** 

Daily objective Geared Funds, if used properly and in conjunction with the investor's view on the future direction and volatility of the markets, can be useful tools for investors who want to manage their exposure to various markets and market segments. Investors should understand the consequences of seeking daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the performance of a daily benchmark such as the inverse (-1x), multiple (i.e., 2x), or inverse multiple (i.e., -2x) of the daily performance of a benchmark for a single day, not for any other period.

Additionally, investors should recognize that the degree of volatility of a Fund's benchmark can have a dramatic effect on a Fund's longer-term performance. The more volatile a benchmark, the more a Fund's longer-term performance will negatively deviate from a simple multiple, inverse or inverse multiple (e.g., 2x, -1x, -2x) of its benchmark's longer-term return. The return of a Geared Fund for a period for longer than a single day is the result of its return for each day compounded over the period and usually will differ in amount, and possibly even direction from the Fund's stated multiple times the return of the Fund's benchmark for the same period. For periods longer than a single day, a Geared Fund will lose money if its benchmark's performance is flat over time, and its possible that the Fund will lose money over time regardless of the performance of its benchmark. An investor in a Geared Fund could potentially lose the full value of their investment within a single day.

**Additional Information Regarding Principal Risks**

Like all investments, investing in a Fund entails risks. The factors most likely to have a significant impact on a Fund's portfolio are called "principal risks." The principal risks for each Fund are described in each Fund's Summary Prospectus and additional information regarding certain of these risks, as well as information related to other potential risks to which a Fund may be subjected, is provided below and under the section titled "Other Risks." The principal risks are intended to provide information about the factors likely to have a significant adverse impact on a Fund's returns and consequently the value of an investment in a Fund. The risks are presented in an order intended to facilitate readability and their order does not imply

------

**218 :: Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks**

that the realization of one risk is more likely to occur than another risk or likely to have a greater adverse impact than another risk.

Some of the risks described below apply to all Funds, while others are specific to the investment strategies of certain Funds. Please see "Principal Investment Risks" in each Fund's Summary Prospectus for more detail about the principal risks applicable to each Fund. The Statement of Additional Information ("SAI") contains additional information about each Fund, investment strategies and related risks. Each Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to those identified as principal risks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Derivatives Risk** — A Fund may obtain exposure through derivatives (including investing in: swap agreements; futures contracts; options on futures contracts, securities, and indexes; forward contracts; and similar instruments). Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may expose a Fund to risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in the reference asset(s) underlying the derivative (e.g., the securities contained in a Fund's index). The use of derivatives may result in larger losses or smaller gains than directly investing in securities. The risks of using derivatives include: 1) the risk that there may be imperfect correlation between the price of the financial instruments and movements in the prices of the reference asset(s); 2) the risk that an instrument is mispriced; 3) credit or counterparty risk on the amount a Fund expects to receive from a counterparty; 4) the risk that securities prices, interest rates and currency markets will move adversely and a Fund will incur significant losses; 5) the risk that the cost of holding a financial instrument might exceed its total return; 6) the possible absence of a liquid secondary market for a particular instrument and possible exchange imposed price fluctuation limits, either of which may make it difficult or impossible to adjust a Fund's position in a particular instrument when desired; 7) risks arising from margin requirements; 8) operational risk (such as documentation issues, settlement issues and systems failures); and 9) legal risk (such as insufficient documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of a counterparty, and issues with the legality or enforceability of a contract). Each of these factors may prevent a Fund from achieving its investment objective and may increase the volatility (i.e., fluctuations) of the Fund's returns. Because derivatives often require limited initial investment, the use of derivatives also may expose a Fund to losses in excess of those amounts initially invested.

In addition, a Fund may use a combination of swaps on an underlying index and swaps on an ETF that is designed to track the performance of that index or a similar index. The performance of an ETF may not track the performance of its underlying index due to embedded costs and other factors. Thus, to the extent a Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, the Fund will be subject to the risks of the ETF including the risk that the ETF may not meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund may be subject to

greater correlation risk and may not achieve as high a degree of correlation with its index as it would if the Fund only used swaps on the underlying index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Leverage Risk** — Funds may utilize leverage (i.e., obtain investment exposure in excess of their assets) in seeking to achieve their investment objective and will lose more money in market environments adverse to their daily objective than similar funds that do not employ leverage. Because certain Funds include either a -2x or 2x multiplier, a 1.5x multiplier or a -1.25x or 1.25x multiplier, a single day adverse price movement of more than 50%, 67% or 80%, respectively, in a relevant benchmark, could result in the total loss of an investor's investment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Compounding Risk** — Most of the Funds are "geared" funds (each a "Geared Fund," and collectively the "Geared Funds") in the sense that each has an investment objective to match a multiple, the inverse, or an inverse multiple of the performance of a benchmark on a single day. A "single day" is measured from the time a Fund calculates its NAV to the time of the Fund's next NAV calculation. These Funds are subject to all of the correlation risks described above. In addition, because the Funds have a single day investment objective, for periods greater than one day, the effect of compounding may cause each Fund's performance to vary from the benchmark performance (or the inverse of the benchmark performance) times the stated multiple in the Fund's investment objective, as applicable, before accounting for fees and Fund expenses. As explained in greater detail in the following section, as a result of compounding, Geared Funds are unlikely to provide a simple multiple (i.e., 2x, 1.5x, 1.25x, -1x, -1.25x, -2x) of a benchmark's return over periods longer than a single day.

**For additional graphs and charts demonstrating the effects of Index or Benchmark volatility and Index or Benchmark performance on the long-term performance of the Fund, see "Understanding the Risk and Long-Term Performance of Daily Objective Funds — The Impact of Compounding" above and "Special Note Regarding the Correlation Risks of Geared Funds" in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Correlation Risk** — There is no guarantee that a Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation with its benchmark. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent a Fund from achieving its investment objective, and the percentage change of the Fund's net asset value ("NAV") each day may differ, perhaps significantly, from the percentage change of the Fund's benchmark on such day. This may be due, among other reasons, to the impact of a limited trading market in the underlying component securities on the calculation of the benchmark. A number of other factors may adversely affect a Fund's correlation with its benchmark, including material over- or underexposure, fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, income items, valuation methodology, infrequent

**Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks :: 219**

trading in the securities underlying its benchmark, accounting standards and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the financial instruments in which the Fund invests. The Fund may not have investment exposure to all financial instruments in the Index, or its weighting of investment exposure to financial instruments may be different from that of the Index. In addition, the Fund may invest in financial instruments not included in the Index. Each Fund may take or refrain from taking positions in order to improve tax efficiency or comply with regulatory restrictions, either of which may negatively affect the Fund's correlation with its benchmark. A Fund may be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or underexposed to its benchmark and may be impacted by index reconstitutions and index rebalancing events. Additionally, a Fund's underlying holdings or reference assets may trade on markets that may not be open on the same day as the Fund, which may cause a difference between the changes in the daily performance of the Fund and changes in the level of the Index.

Each (other than the Classic ProFunds VP, the Sector ProFunds VP, ProFund Access VP High Yield, ProFund VP Falling U.S. Dollar, and ProFund VP Government Money Market) seeks to rebalance its portfolio daily to keep its leveraged, inverse or inverse leveraged exposure to the benchmark consistent with its daily investment objective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Counterparty Risk** — A Fund will be subject to credit risk (i.e., the risk that a counterparty is unwilling or unable to make timely payments or otherwise meet its contractual obligations) with respect to the amount the Fund expects to receive from counterparties to financial instruments (including derivatives and repurchase agreements) entered into by the Fund. A Fund generally structures the agreements such that either party can terminate the contract at any time, including intraday, without penalty prior to the termination date. If a counterparty terminates a contract, a Fund may not be able to invest in other derivatives to achieve the desired exposure, or achieving such exposure may be more expensive. A Fund may be negatively impacted if a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations under such an agreement. A Fund may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in a bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding and a Fund may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. In order to attempt to mitigate potential counterparty credit risk, a Fund typically enters into transactions with major financial institutions. A Fund also seeks to mitigate risks by generally requiring that the counterparties agree to post collateral for the benefit of the Fund, marked to market daily, in an amount approximately equal to what the counterparty owes the Fund, subject to certain minimum thresholds. To the extent any such collateral is insufficient or there are delays in accessing the collateral, a Fund will be exposed to the risks described above, including possible delays in recovering amounts as a result of bankruptcy proceedings.

The counterparty to a cleared swap agreement and/or exchange-traded futures contract is subject to the credit risk of the clearing house and the futures commission merchant ("FCM") through which it holds its position. Specifically, the FCM or the clearing house could fail to perform its obligations, causing significant losses to a Fund. For example, a Fund could lose margin payments it has deposited with an FCM as well as any gains owed but not paid to the Fund, if the FCM or clearing house becomes insolvent or otherwise fails to perform its obligations. Credit risk of market participants with respect to derivatives that are centrally cleared is concentrated in a few clearing houses and it is not clear how an insolvency proceeding of a clearing house would be conducted and what impact an insolvency of a clearing house would have on the financial system. Under current Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") regulations, a FCM maintains customers' assets in a bulk segregated account. If a FCM fails to do so, or is unable to satisfy a substantial deficit in a customer account, its other customers may be subject to risk of loss of their funds in the event of that FCM's bankruptcy. In that event, in the case of futures and options on futures, the FCM's customers are entitled to recover, even in respect of property specifically traceable to them, only a proportional share of all property available for distribution to all of that FCM's customers. In addition, if the FCM does not comply with the applicable regulations, or in the event of a fraud or misappropriation of customer assets by the FCM, a Fund could have only an unsecured creditor claim in an insolvency of the FCM with respect to the margin held by the FCM. FCMs are also required to transfer to the clearing house the amount of margin required by the clearing house, which amount is generally held in an omnibus account at the clearing house for all customers of the FCM. In certain cases with respect to cleared swaps, the FCM may also transfer any excess initial margin posted by a Fund to the clearing house. Regulations promulgated by the CFTC require that the FCM notify the clearing house of the excess initial margin provided by the FCM to the clearing house that is attributable to each customer. However, if the FCM does not accurately report a Fund's initial margin, the Fund is subject to the risk that a clearing house will use the assets attributable to it in the clearing house's omnibus account to satisfy payment obligations a defaulting customer of the FCM has to the clearing house.

In addition, a Fund may enter into agreements with a limited number of counterparties, which may increase the Fund's exposure to counterparty credit risk. A Fund does not specifically limit its counterparty risk with respect to any single counterparty. Further, there is a risk that no suitable counterparties are willing to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with a Fund and, as a result, a Fund may not be able to achieve its investment objective. Contractual provisions and applicable law may prevent or delay a Fund from exercising its rights to terminate an investment or transaction with a financial institution experiencing financial

------

**220 :: Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks**

difficulties, or to realize returns on collateral, and another institution may be substituted for that financial institution without the consent of the Fund. If the credit rating of a derivatives counterparty declines, a Fund may nonetheless choose or be required to keep existing transactions in place with the counterparty, in which event the Fund would be subject to any increased credit risk associated with those transactions. Also, in the event of a counterparty's (or its affiliate's) insolvency, the possibility exists that a Fund's ability to exercise remedies, such as the termination of transactions, netting of obligations and realization of returns on collateral, could be stayed or eliminated under special resolution regimes adopted in the United States, the European Union, United Kingdom and various other jurisdictions. Such regimes provide government authorities with broad authority to intervene when a financial institution is experiencing financial difficulty. In particular, the regulatory authorities could reduce, eliminate, or convert to equity the liabilities to a Fund of a counterparty who is subject to such proceedings in the European Union or United Kingdom (sometimes referred to as a "bail in").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Short Sale Exposure Risk** — A Fund may seek inverse or "short" exposure through financial instruments, which would cause the Fund to be exposed to certain risks associated with selling short. These risks include, under certain market conditions, an increase in the volatility and decrease in the liquidity of the instruments underlying the short position, which may lower a Fund's return, result in a loss, have the effect of limiting the Fund's ability to obtain inverse exposure through financial instruments, or require the Fund to seek inverse exposure through alternative investment strategies that may be less desirable or more costly to implement. To the extent that, at any particular point in time, the instruments underlying the short position may be thinly traded or have a limited market, including due to regulatory action, a Fund may be unable to meet its investment objective due to a lack of available instruments or counterparties. During such periods, a Fund's ability to issue additional shares may be adversely affected. Obtaining inverse exposure through these instruments may be considered an aggressive investment technique. Any income, dividends or payment by the assets underlying a Fund's short positions will negatively impact the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industry Concentration Risk** — Each Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or group of industries. A Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, a Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. Financial, economic, business, regulatory conditions, and other developments affecting issuers in a particular industry or group of industries will have a greater effect on a Fund, and if securities of the particular industry or group of industries fall

out of favor, a Fund could underperform, or its net asset value may be more volatile than, funds that have greater industry diversification.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Automobiles & Components Industry Risk** — The risks of investments in the industry include: cyclicality of revenues and earnings, with potential of periodic operating losses; labor relations and fluctuating component prices; significant capital expenditures in automotive technologies (e.g., autonomous vehicle technologies) that may not generate profits for several years, if ever; and adverse effects from governmental policies, such as taxes, tariffs, duties, subsidies, and import and export restrictions. While most of the major automotive manufacturers are large companies, certain others may be non-diversified in both product line and customer base and may be more vulnerable to certain events that may negatively impact the industry.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Banks Industry Risk** — The risks of investments in the industry include: extensive governmental regulation and/or nationalization that affects the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain; adverse effects on profitability due to increases in interest rates or loan losses (which usually increase in economic downturns, which could lead to insolvency or other negative consequences); severe price competition; economic conditions; credit rating downgrades; and increased inter-sector consolidation and competition. This sector has experienced significant losses in the recent past, and the impact of more stringent capital requirements and of recent or future regulation on any individual bank or on the sector as a whole cannot be predicted. The banks industry may also be affected by risks that affect the broader financial services industry.

The distress, impairment, or failure of one or more banking institutions may affect the value of investments in the industry. The failure of a banking institution could raise economic concerns over disruption in the industry. There can be no certainty that any actions taken by governments or quasi-governmental organizations will be effective in mitigating the effects of banking institution failures on the economy or restoring public confidence in the banking industry.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Capital Goods Industry Risk** — The risks of investments in the industry include: fluctuations in the business cycle, heavy dependence on corporate spending and by other factors affecting manufacturing demands. The capital goods industry may perform well during times of economic expansion, and as economic conditions worsen, the demand for capital goods may decrease due to weakening demand, worsening business cash flows, tighter credit controls and deteriorating profitability. During times of economic volatility, corporate spending may fall and adversely affect the capital goods industry. The capital goods industry may also be affected by changes in interest rates, corporate tax rates and other

------

**Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks :: 221**

government policies. Many capital goods are sold internationally, and such companies are subject to market conditions in other countries and regions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Commercial and Professional Services Industry Risk** — The risks of investments in the industry include: adverse effects on stock prices by supply and demand for their specific services and for commercial and professional services industry in general; a decline in service demand due to rapid technological advancements; adverse effects on securities prices and profitability from government regulation, world events and economic conditions; and risks for environmental damage.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Communication Services Industry Risk** — The risk of investments in the industry include: the potential obsolescence of products and services due to increasing competition from the innovation of competitors; increased research and development costs and capital requirements to formulate new products and services that utilize new technology; pricing new and existing products to match or beat industry competitors, shifting demographics and changes to consumer taste, which can negatively impact profitability; and regulation by the Federal Communications Commission and various state regulatory authorities. Companies in the communication services industry may be more susceptible to cybersecurity issues than companies in other industries, including hacking, theft of proprietary or consumer information, and disruptions in service.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Consumer Discretionary Industry Risk** — The risks of investments in the industry include: the fact that securities prices and profitability may be tied closely to the performance of the domestic and international economy, interest rates, supply chains, competition and consumer confidence; heavy dependence on disposable household income and consumer spending; severe competition; and changes in demographics and consumer tastes, which can affect the success of consumer products.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Consumer Services Industry Risk** — The risks of investments in the industry include: the fact that securities prices and profitability may be tied closely to the performance of the domestic and international economy, interest rates, supply chains, competition and consumer confidence; heavy dependence on disposable household income and consumer spending; severe competition; and changes in demographics and consumer tastes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Diversified Financials Industry Risk** — The risks of investments in the industry include: changes in credit ratings, interest rates, loan losses, the performance of credit and financial markets and the availability and cost of capital funds; and adverse effects from governmental regulation and oversight. The diversified financials industry may also be affected by risks that affect the broader financials industry.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Energy Industry Risk** — The risks of investments in the industry include: adverse effects on profitability from changes

in worldwide energy prices and exploration, and production spending; adverse effects from changes in exchange rates, government regulation, world events, international conflicts or threat of conflicts and economic conditions; market, economic and political risks of the countries where energy companies are located or do business; the fact that the value of regulated utility debt instruments (and, to a lesser extent, equity securities) tends to have an inverse relationship to the movement of interest rates; and risk for environmental damage claims. The energy industry has recently experienced significant volatility due to dramatic changes in the prices of energy commodities, and it is possible that such volatility will continue in the future.

On February 24, 2022, Russia commenced a military attack on Ukraine. The outbreak of hostilities between the two countries could result in more widespread conflict and could have a severe adverse effect on the region and the markets for securities and commodities, including oil. In addition, sanctions imposed on Russia by the United States and other countries, and any sanctions imposed in the future could have a significant adverse impact on the Russian economy and related markets. How long such conflict and related events will last and whether it will escalate further cannot be predicted. Impacts from the conflict and related events could have a significant impact on the Fund's performance, and the value of an investment in the Fund may decline significantly. Additionally, the possibility of a continued and prolonged conflict between Hamas and Israel, and the potential expansion of the conflict in the surrounding areas and the involvement of other nations in such conflict, could further destabilize the Middle East region and introduce new uncertainties in global markets, including the crude oil markets. This may increase or decrease volatility of the Funds' shares.

The U.S. and Israel military action against Iran that began in February 2026 and Iran's responses thereto, including attacks on marine vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, and the U.S. military operation in Venezuela could result in more widespread conflict and could have a severe adverse affect on the regions and/or the world and the markets for securities and commodities, including oil and natural gas. How long these conflicts and related events will last and whether it will escalate further cannot be predicted. Impacts from this conflict and related events could have significant impact on a Fund's performance, and the value of an investment in a Fund may decline significantly.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Financials Industry Risk** — The risks of investments in the industry include: extensive governmental regulation and/or nationalization that affects the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital and liquid assets they must maintain; adverse effects from increases in interest rates; adverse effects on profitability by loan losses, which usually increase in economic downturns; the severe competition to which banks, insurance, and financial services

**222 :: Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks**

companies may be subject; increased inter-sector consolidation and competition in the financials industry; and volatility in the financial markets and changes in domestic and foreign monetary policy; credit rating downgrades; adverse public perception; exposure concentration and decreased liquidity in credit markets; counterparty risk arising from issuers that serve as counterparties in derivatives or similar contractual arrangements. The impact of more stringent capital requirements, recent or future regulation on any individual financial company or recent or future regulation on the financials industry as a whole cannot be predicted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Food, Beverage and Tobacco Industry Risk** — The risks of investments in the industry include: changes in demand for products, demographic and product trends and general economic conditions; effects of competitive pricing, environmental factors, marketing campaigns and consumer boycotts; and adverse effects from governmental regulation and oversight. The tobacco industry may also be affected by additional risks, including: smoking and health litigation; governmental and private bans and restrictions on smoking; and actual and proposed price controls on tobacco products. The food, beverage and tobacco industry may also be affected by risks that affect the broader consumer staples industry.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Food and Staples Retailing Industry Risk** — The food and staples industry is highly competitive and companies in this industry can be significantly affected by demographic and product trends, competitive pricing, fads, marketing campaigns, environmental factors, government regulation affecting certain food additives and other regulations that could impact profit, new laws or litigation that may affect adverse changes in general economic conditions, evolving consumer preferences, nutritional and health-related concerns, federal, state and local food inspection and processing controls, consumer product liability claims, consumer boycotts, risks of product tampering, and the availability and expense of liability insurance. There are also risks associated with changing market prices resulting from, among other things, changes in government support and trading policy, interest rates, competition, consumer confidence and spending, and agricultural conditions that impact the growth and harvest seasons. International events may affect food and beverage companies that derive a substantial portion of their net income from foreign countries. Product recalls require companies in the food and staples industry to withdraw contaminated or mislabeled products from the market. In addition, there are risks pertaining to raw materials and the suppliers of such raw materials that include changing market prices.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Health Care Industry Risk** — The risks of investments in the industry include: heavy dependence on patent protection, with profitability affected by the expiration of patents; expenses and losses from extensive litigation based on product liability and similar claims; competitive forces that may make it difficult to raise prices and, in fact, may result in

price discounting; the long and costly process for obtaining new product approval by the Food and Drug Administration; the difficulty health care providers may have obtaining staff to deliver service; susceptibility to product obsolescence; and thin capitalization and limited product lines, markets and financial resources or personnel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Health Care Equipment and Services Industry Risk** — The risks of investments in the industry include: increased emphasis on the delivery of health care through outpatient services, limited product lines for health care equipment may cause companies to increase expenditures for the research and development of new products and such products can become obsolete due to industry innovation, changes in technologies or other market developments, technological advances, new market developments and regulatory changes in the health care industry can increase research and development, marketing and sales costs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Household and Personal Products Industry Risk** — The risks of investments in the industry include: performance of the economy overall, interest rates, competition, consumer confidence and spending, cyclicality of revenues and earnings, changing consumer demands, regulatory restrictions, product liability, litigation, environmental regulation and transportation and distribution costs. Companies in this industry can perform differently than the overall market and their success may depend significantly on disposable household income and consumer spending. Changes in demographics and consumer tastes can also affect the demand for and success of, consumer products.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Industrials Industry Risk** — The risks of investments in the industry include: adverse effects on stock prices by supply and demand both for their specific product or service and for industrials industry products in general; decline in demand for products due to rapid technological developments and frequent new product introduction; adverse effects on securities prices and profitability from government regulation, world events and economic conditions; and risks for environmental damage and product liability claims.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Insurance Industry Risk** – The risks of investment in the industry include: changes in interest rates, extensive governmental regulation, price competition; economic conditions; and credit rating downgrades. Certain segments of the insurance industry may be significantly impacted by mortality and morbidity rates, environmental disasters, and catastrophic events including hurricanes, floods, droughts, and earthquakes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Information Technology Industry Risk** — Securities of information technology companies may be subject to greater volatility than stocks of companies in other market sectors. Like other technology companies, information technology companies may be affected by intense competition, obsolescence of existing technology, general economic conditions and government regulation and may have limited

------

**Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks :: 223**

product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. Information technology companies may experience dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for qualified personnel. These companies also are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect profitability. A small number of companies represent a large portion of the information technology industry as a whole.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Materials Industry Risk** — The risks of investments in the industry include: adverse effects from commodity price volatility, exchange rate fluctuations, social and political unrest, war, import or export controls, increased competition; the possibility that production of industrial materials may exceed demand as a result of overbuilding or economic downturns, leading to poor investment returns; risk for environmental damage and product liability claims; and adverse effects from depletion of resources, technical progress, labor relations and government regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Media and Entertainment Industry Risk** — Media and entertainment companies within the Communication Services industry are impacted by the high costs of research and development of new content and services in an effort to stay relevant in a highly competitive industry. In addition, media and entertainment companies are challenged by the changing tastes, topical interests and discretionary income of their targeted consumers. With the advancement of streaming technology, sales of content through physical formats (such as DVD and Blu-ray) and traditional content delivery services (such as cable TV providers and satellite dish operators) are declining in popularity as consumers increasingly opt to purchase digital content that is customizable, less expensive and takes up less physical space. The media and entertainment industry is regulated and changes to rules regarding advertising and the content produced by media and entertainment companies can increase overall production and distribution costs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Pharmaceuticals, Biotechnology, and Life Sciences Industry Risk** — The risks of investments in the industry include: heavy dependence on patents and intellectual property rights, with profitability affected by the loss or impairment of such rights; risks of new technologies and competitive pressures; large expenditures on research and development of products or services that may not prove commercially successful or may become obsolete quickly; regulations and restrictions imposed by the Food and Drug Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, state and local governments, and foreign regulatory authorities; and thin capitalization and limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. Moreover, stock prices of biotechnology companies are very volatile, particularly when their products are up for regulatory approval and/or under regulatory scrutiny. The biotechnology sector may also be affected by risks that affect the broader health care industry, including expenses and losses from extensive litigation on

product liability and similar claims. The pharmaceuticals sector may also be affected by risks that affect the broader health care industry, including: heavy dependence on patent protection, with profitability affected by the expiration of patents; supply chain issues; labor shortages; product liability claims; competitive forces that may make it difficult to raise prices and, in fact, may result in price discounts; and thin capitalization and limited product lines, markets and financial resources or personnel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Real Estate Industry Risk** — Investing in securities of real estate companies includes risks such as: fluctuations in the value of the underlying properties; periodic overbuilding and market saturation; changes in general and local economic conditions; changes in demographic trends, such as population shifts or changing tastes and values; concentration in a particular geographic region or property type; catastrophic events such as earthquakes, hurricanes and terrorist acts; casualty or condemnation losses; decreases in market rates for rents; increased competition; increases in property taxes, interest rates, capital expenditures, or operating expenses; changes in the availability, cost and terms of mortgage funds; defaults by borrowers or tenants; and other economic, political or regulatory occurrences, including the impact of changes in environmental laws, that may affect the real estate industry. Although interest rates have significantly increased since 2022, the prices of real estate-related assets generally have not decreased as much as may be expected based on historical correlations between interest rates and prices of real estate-related assets. This presents an increased risk of a correction or severe downturn in real estate-related asset prices, which could adversely impact the value of other investments as well (such as loans, securitized debt and other fixed income securities). This risk is particularly present with respect to commercial real estate-related asset prices, and the value of other investments with a connection to the commercial real estate sector. As examples of the current risks faced by real estate-related assets: tenant vacancy rates, tenant turnover and tenant concentration have increased; owners of real estate have faced headwinds, delinquencies and difficulties in collecting rents and other payments (which increases the risk of owners being unable to pay or otherwise defaulting on their own borrowings and obligations); property values have declined; inflation, upkeep costs and other expenses have increased; and rents have declined for many properties. The economic impacts of COVID-19 have created a unique challenge for real estate markets. Many businesses have either partially or fully transitioned to a remote-working environment and this transition may negatively impact the occupancy rates of commercial real estate over time. Similarly, trends in favor of online shopping may negatively affect the real estate market for commercial properties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Retailing Industry Risk** — The risks of investments in the industry include: changes in domestic and international

------

**224 :: Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks**

economies, consumer confidence, disposable household income and spending, and consumer tastes and preferences; intense competition; changing demographics; marketing and public perception; dependence on third-party suppliers and distribution systems; intellectual property infringement; legislative or regulatory changes and increased government supervision; thin capitalization; dependence on a relatively few number of business days to achieve overall results; and dependence on outside financing, which may be difficult to obtain.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Semiconductors and Semiconductor Equipment Industry Risk** — The risks of investments in the industry include: intense competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from subsidized foreign competitors with lower production costs; wide fluctuations in securities prices due to risks of rapid obsolescence of products; economic performance of the customers of semiconductor companies; their research costs and the risks that their products may not prove commercially successful; capital equipment expenditures that could be substantial and suffer from rapid obsolescence; and thin capitalization and limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. The semiconductors sector may also be affected by risks that affect the broader technology sector, including: government regulation; dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for qualified personnel; heavy dependence on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect profitability; and a small number of companies representing a large portion of the technology sector as a whole.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Software and Services Industry Risk** — The risks of investments in the industry include: competitive pressures, such as aggressive pricing (including fixed-rate pricing), technological developments (including product-specific technological change), changing domestic demand, and the ability to attract and retain skilled employees; availability and price of components; dependence on intellectual property rights, and potential loss or impairment of those rights; research and development costs; rapid product obsolescence; cyclical market patterns; evolving industry standards; and frequent new product introductions requiring timely and successful introduction of new products and the ability to service such products. The software and services industry may also be affected by risks that affect the broader information technology industry.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Technology Industry Risk** — Securities of technology companies may be subject to greater volatility than stocks of companies in other market sectors. Technology companies may experience intense competition, obsolescence of existing technology, general economic conditions and government regulation and may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. Technology companies may experience dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for qualified personnel. These

companies also are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect profitability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Technology Hardware and Equipment Industry Risk** — The risks of investments in the industry include: effects from industry competition, evolving industry standards and obsolescence of products; government regulation; changes in costs of components and ability to attract and maintain skilled employees; and dependence on intellectual property rights. Stocks of technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile than the overall market. The technology hardware and equipment industry may also be affected by risks that affect the broader information technology industry.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Transportation Industry Risk** – The risks of investment in the industry include: cyclical revenues and earnings, adverse effects from governmental policies, such as taxes, tariffs, duties, subsidies, and import and export restrictions; fuel prices; slow-downs stemming from warehouse capacity overload, oceanside congestion, and landside congestion; labor relations; extreme supply-demand fluctuations; inflation; and limited supply routes. Transportation companies may be adversely impacted by political, environmental, and major weather events.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Utilities Industry Risk** — The risks of investments in the industry include: review and limitation of rates by governmental regulatory commissions; the fact that the value of regulated utility debt instruments (and, to a lesser extent, equity securities) tends to have an inverse relationship to the movement of interest rates; the risk that utilities may engage in riskier ventures where they have little or no experience; and the fact that deregulation allows utilities to diversify outside of their original geographic regions and their traditional lines of business and create greater competition, which may adversely affect profitability due to lower operating margins, higher costs and diversification into unprofitable business lines.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Debt Instrument Risk** — Debt instruments may have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates and other factors. Typically, the prices of outstanding debt instruments fall when interest rates rise. Without taking into account other factors, the prices of debt instruments with longer maturities may fluctuate more in response to interest rate changes than those of debt instruments with shorter maturities. In addition, changes in the credit quality of the issuer of a debt instrument (including a default) can also affect the price of a debt instrument. Many types of debt instruments are subject to prepayment risk, which is the risk that the issuer of the security will repay principal (in part or in whole) prior to the maturity date. Debt instruments allowing prepayment may offer less potential for gains during a period of declining interest rates, as a Fund may be required to reinvest the

------

**Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks :: 225**

proceeds received at lower interest rates. Callable bonds may also have lower sensitivity to interest rate declines than non-callable bonds or Treasury Securities. Such factors may cause the value of an investment in the Fund to change. Debt markets can be volatile and the value of instruments correlated with these markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Debt instruments in the Index may underperform other debt instruments that track other markets, segments and sectors.

ProFund VP Rising Rates Opportunity is inversely correlated to bond prices and will typically respond differently to the above factors than would a Fund positively correlated to bond prices, such as ProFund VP U.S. Government Plus.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Foreign Investments Risk** — Certain factors related to investment in securities of foreign issuers or other investments that provide a Fund with exposure to foreign issuers (collectively, "foreign investments") may prevent a Fund from achieving its goals. These factors may include the effects of: (i) fluctuations in the value of the local currency versus the U.S. dollar and the uncertainty associated with the cost of converting between various currencies, even if a Fund attempts to hedge against its currency exposure; (ii) differences in settlement practices, as compared to U.S. investments, or delayed settlements in some foreign markets; (iii) the uncertainty associated with evidence of ownership of investments in many foreign countries, which may lack the centralized custodial services and rigorous proofs of ownership required by many U.S. investments; (iv) possible regulation of, or other limitations on, investments by U.S. investors in foreign investments; (v) brokerage commissions and fees and other investment related costs that may be higher than those applicable to U.S. investments; (vi) the possibility that a foreign government may withhold portions of interest and dividends at the source; (vii) taxation of income earned in foreign nations or other taxes imposed with respect to investments in foreign nations; (viii) changes in the denomination currency of a foreign investment, (ix) foreign exchange controls, which may include suspension of the ability to transfer currency from a given country; (x) less publicly available information about foreign issuers; and (xi) less certain legal systems in which the Fund may encounter difficulties or be unable to pursue legal remedies.

Foreign investments also may be subject to economic or diplomatic sanctions and other similar measures. The type and severity of sanctions and other similar measures, including counter-sanctions and other retaliatory actions, that may be imposed could vary broadly in scope, and their impact is impossible to predict. These measures may include, but are not limited to, banning a sanctioned country from global payment systems that facilitate cross-border transactions, restricting the settlement of securities transactions by certain investors, and freezing the assets of particular countries, entities or persons. The imposition of such measures could, among other things, cause a decline in the value and/or

liquidity of foreign investments, downgrades in credit ratings, devaluation of a country's currency, and increased market volatility and disruption globally. Such sanctions and measures could limit or prevent a Fund from buying or selling foreign investments, significantly delay or prevent settlement of transactions, and significantly impact the Fund's liquidity and performance.

In addition, markets for foreign investments are usually less liquid, more volatile and significantly smaller than markets for U.S. securities, which may affect, among other things, a Fund's ability to obtain exposure to those foreign investments at appropriate times and prices. Because of differences in settlement times and/or foreign market holidays, transactions in a foreign market may take place one or more days after the necessary exposure to these investments is determined. Until the transactions are effected, the Fund is exposed to increased foreign currency risk and market risk and, ultimately, increased correlation risk.

A Fund's performance also may be affected by factors related to its ability to obtain information about foreign investments. In many foreign countries, there is less publicly available information about issuers than is available in reports about U.S. issuers. Markets for foreign investments are usually not subject to the degree of government supervision and regulation that exists for U.S. investments. Foreign issuers are not generally subject to uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards, and auditing practices and requirements may not be comparable to those applicable to U.S. issuers. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, which regulates auditors of U.S. public companies, is unable to inspect audit work papers in certain foreign countries. Furthermore, the issuers of foreign investments may be closely controlled by a small number of families, institutional investors or foreign governments whose investment decisions might be difficult to predict. To the extent a Fund's assets are exposed to contractual and other legal obligations in a foreign country, (e.g., swap agreements with foreign counterparties), these factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective. A Fund may encounter difficulties or be unable to pursue legal remedies and obtain judgments in foreign courts. In some countries, information about decisions of the judiciary, other government branches, regulatory agencies and tax authorities may be less transparent than decisions by comparable institutions in the U.S., particularly in countries that are politically dominated by a single party or individual. Moreover, enforcement of such decisions may be inconsistent or uncertain. Investors in foreign countries often have limited rights and few practical remedies to pursue shareholder claims, including class actions or fraud claims and the ability of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the U.S. Department of Justice and other authorities to bring and enforce actions against foreign issuers or foreign persons is limited.

------

**226 :: Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks**

Foreign investments also may be more susceptible to political, social, economic and regional factors than may be the case for U.S. securities. These factors include the effect of: (i) expropriation, nationalization or confiscatory taxation of foreign investments; (ii) changes in credit conditions related to foreign counterparties, including foreign governments and foreign financial institutions; (iii) trade barriers, exchange controls, managed adjustments in relative currency values and other protectionist measures; (iv) issues related to multi-national currency arrangements; and (v) increased correlation between the value of foreign investments and changes in the commodities markets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Special Considerations About Emerging Market Countries** — Because foreign investments of a Fund may include issuers domiciled in developing or "emerging market" countries, the aforementioned factors are heightened and foreign investments risk is higher. Economic, business, political or social instability may adversely affect the value of emerging market securities more acutely than securities tied to developed foreign market countries. Emerging markets are riskier than more developed markets because they may develop unevenly or may never fully develop. Investments in emerging market countries are considered speculative.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Political and Social Risk** — Some governments in emerging markets countries are subject to military and other conflicts and geopolitical tensions, are authoritarian in nature, have been installed or removed as a result of military coups, and some governments have periodically used force to suppress civil dissent. Disparities of wealth, the pace and success of democratization, and ethnic, religious and racial disaffection, have also led to social unrest, violence and/or labor unrest in some emerging market countries. Unanticipated political, geopolitical or social developments, including the imposition of international sanctions may result in sudden and significant investment losses. Also, investing in emerging market countries involves a great risk of loss due to expropriation, nationalization, confiscation of assets and property or the imposition of restrictions on foreign investments and repatriation of capital invested by certain emerging market countries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Economic Risk** — Some emerging market countries have experienced currency devaluations and substantial (and, in some cases, extremely high) rates of inflation, while others have experienced economic recessions causing a negative effect on the economies and securities markets of such emerging countries. Circumstances could arise that could prevent the timely payment of interest or principal on sovereign debt of emerging market countries, such as reaching legislative debt ceilings. Such non-payment would result in substantial negative consequences for the economies and securities markets of those countries. Further, economies in

emerging market countries generally are dependent heavily upon commodity prices and international trade and, accordingly, may be affected adversely by the economies of their trading partners, trade barriers, exchange controls, managed adjustments in relative currency values, and may suffer from extreme and volatile debt burdens or inflation rates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Market Risk** – Some emerging market countries may have inefficient and underdeveloped financial markets and therefore may lack the infrastructure necessary to attract large amounts of foreign trade and investment. Some emerging market countries may have relatively unstable governments and may present the risks of potential expropriation or nationalization of private properties or businesses, restrictions on foreign ownership and prohibitions on the repatriation of assets. As a result, emerging market issuers may have limited access to reliable sources of capital. Inefficient markets combined with less sophisticated regulatory oversight may also mean that securities traded in emerging markets are more susceptible to market manipulation by other market participants. Furthermore, legal principles relating to standards of corporate governance and directors' fiduciary duties may differ from and/or not be as extensive or protective as those that apply in the U.S.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Geographic Concentration Risk** — Funds that focus their investments in companies economically tied to particular foreign countries or geographic regions may be particularly susceptible to economic, political or regulatory events affecting those countries or regions. In addition, currency devaluations or other declines in the value of their currency could occur in foreign countries that have not yet experienced currency devaluation or declines to date, or could continue to occur in foreign countries that have already experienced such devaluations or declines. As a result, funds that focus their investments in companies economically tied to a particular foreign geographic region or country may be more volatile than a more geographically diversified fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Asian Investments Risk** – Investments in securities of issuers in certain Asian countries involve risks that are specific to Asia, including certain legal, regulatory, political and economic risks. Certain Asian countries have experienced expropriation and/or nationalization of assets, confiscatory taxation, institution of tariffs or other trade barriers, political instability, armed conflict and social instability as a result of religious, ethnic, socio-economic and/ or political unrest. Some economies in this region are dependent on a range of commodities, and are strongly affected by international commodity prices and particularly vulnerable to price changes for these products. The market for securities in this region may also be directly influenced by the flow of international capital, and by the economic and market conditions of neighboring countries. Many Asian economies have experienced rapid growth and industrialization, and there is

------

**Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks :: 227**

no assurance that this growth rate will be maintained. Some Asian economies are highly dependent on trade and economic conditions in other countries can impact these economies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Brazilian Investments Risk** — The Brazilian economy is sensitive to fluctuations in commodity prices and commodity markets, and is heavily dependent on trading with key partners. Any changes in the volume of this trading, in taxes or the institution of tariffs or other trade barriers, or in political relationships between nations may adversely affect the Brazilian economy and, as a result, the Fund's investments. The Brazilian economy has historically been exposed to high rates of inflation and a high level of debt, each of which may reduce and/or prevent economic growth. The Brazilian government currently imposes significant taxes on the transfer of currency. While the Brazilian economy has experienced growth in recent years, there is no guarantee that this growth will continue.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Chinese Investments Risk** — Investments in securities of issuers in China (including variable interest entities ("VIEs") associated with an underlying Chinese operating company) include risks such as, but are not limited to, less developed or less efficient trading markets; heightened risk of inefficiency, volatility and pricing anomalies of portfolio holdings resulting from government control of markets; currency fluctuations or blockage; nationalization of assets; limits on repatriation; uncertainty surrounding trading suspensions; a lack of publicly available information (as compared to many other countries); and natural disasters particularly likely to occur in China. Changes in Chinese government policy and economic growth rates could significantly affect local markets and the entire Greater China region. China has yet to develop comprehensive securities, corporate, or commercial laws, and its economy is experiencing a relative slowdown. China is an emerging market and demonstrates significantly higher volatility from time to time in comparison to developed markets. Internal social unrest or confrontations with neighboring countries may also disrupt economic development in China and result in a greater risk of currency fluctuations, currency non-convertibility, interest rate fluctuations, and higher rates of inflation. Investments in securities of Chinese companies are subject to China's heavy dependence on exports. Reductions in spending on Chinese products and services, institution of tariffs or other trade barriers, including as a result of heightened trade tensions between China and the United States, or a downturn in any of the economies of China's key trading partners may have an adverse impact on the Chinese economy and the values of Chinese companies. Significant portions of the Chinese securities markets may become rapidly illiquid, as Chinese issuers have the ability to suspend the trading of their equity securities and have shown a willingness to exercise that option in response to market volatility and other events. The

liquidity of Chinese securities may shrink or disappear suddenly and without warning as a result of adverse economic, market or political events, or adverse investor perceptions, whether or not accurate.

Investments in issuers in China may include investments through legal structures known as VIEs. In China, ownership of companies in certain sectors by foreign individuals and entities (including U.S. persons and entities such as a Fund) is prohibited. In order to facilitate foreign investment in these businesses, many Chinese companies have created VIEs. In these arrangements, a China-based operating company typically establishes an offshore shell company in another jurisdiction, such as the Cayman Islands. That shell company enters into service and other contracts with the China-based operating company, then issues shares on a foreign exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange. Foreign investors hold stock in the shell company (i.e., the U.S.-listed company) rather than directly in the China-based operating company. This arrangement allows U.S. investors to obtain economic exposure to the China-based company through contractual means rather than through formal equity ownership. Intervention by the Chinese government with respect to VIEs could significantly affect the Chinese operating company's performance (and, in turn, a Fund's performance) and undermine the enforceability of the VIE structure.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**European Investments Risk** — Many countries are members of the European Union (the "EU") and all European countries may be significantly affected by EU policies and may be highly dependent on the economies of their fellow members. The European financial markets have experienced significant volatility and several European countries have been adversely affected by unemployment, budget deficits and economic downturns. In addition, several European countries (including the United Kingdom) have experienced credit rating downgrades, rising government debt levels and, for certain European countries (including Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Italy), weaknesses in sovereign debt. These events, along with decreasing imports or exports, changes in governmental or EU regulations on trade, institution of tariffs or other trade barriers, the default or threat of default by a European country on its sovereign debt, an economic recession in a European country, or the threat of a European country to leave the EU may have a significant adverse effect on the affected European country, issuers in the affected European country, the economies of other European countries, or their trading partners. Such events, or even the threat of these events, may cause the value of securities issued by issuers in such European countries to fall, in some cases drastically. These events may also cause further volatility in the European financial markets. To the extent that a Fund's assets are exposed to investments from issuers in European countries or

------

**228 :: Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks**

denominated in euro, their trading partners, or other European countries, these events may negatively impact the performance of the Fund.

On February 24, 2022, Russia commenced a military attack on Ukraine. The military incursion has led to, and may lead to additional sanctions being levied by the United States, European Union, United Kingdom and other countries against Russia. Russia's military incursion and the resulting sanctions and other rapidly evolving measures in response could adversely affect global energy and financial markets and thus could affect the value of a Fund's investments. The severity, extent and duration of the military conflict, sanctions and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could have a material adverse effect on the European region and beyond, including significant negative impacts on the economy and the markets for certain securities and commodities, such as oil and natural gas. How long such tensions and related events will last cannot be predicted. These tensions and any related events could have significant impact on a Fund's performance and the value of an investment in a Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Indian Investments Risk** — Investments in securities of issuers in India include risks such as, but not limited to, greater government control over the economy, including the risk that the Indian government may decide not to continue to support economic reform programs, political and legal uncertainty, competition from low-cost issuers of other emerging economies, institution of tariffs or other trade barriers, currency fluctuations or blockage of foreign currency exchanges and the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets. India is also located in a part of the world that has historically been prone to natural disasters, such as earthquakes and tsunamis. Any such natural disaster could cause a significant impact on the Indian economy. In addition, religious and border disputes persist in India. Moreover, India has experienced civil unrest and hostilities with neighboring countries, and the Indian government has confronted separatist movements in several Indian states. India has experienced acts of terrorism that has targeted foreigners. Such acts of terrorism have had a negative impact on tourism, an important sector of the Indian economy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Japanese Investments Risk** — Investments in Japan are subject to risks including, but not limited to (i) political, economic, or social instability in Japan; (ii) risks associated with Japan's large government deficit; (iii) natural disasters particularly likely to occur in Japan; (iv) risks associated with an increasingly aging and declining population that is likely to strain Japan's social welfare and pension systems; and (v) relatively high unemployment. Since the year 2000, Japan's economic growth rate has remained relatively low. As an island nation, Japan has limited natural resources and land area, and the Japanese economy is heavily dependent on international trade and reliant on imports for its commodity needs. Fluctuations or shortages in the commodity markets

may negatively impact the Japanese economy. Slowdowns in the U.S. and/or China and other Southeast Asian countries, including economic, political or social instability in such countries, could have a negative impact on Japan. Because of its trade dependence, the Japanese economy is particularly exposed to the risks of currency fluctuation, foreign trade policy and regional and global economic disruption, including the risk of increased tariffs, embargoes, and other trade limitations. Strained relationships between Japan and its neighboring countries, including China, South Korea and North Korea, based on historical grievances, territorial disputes, and defense concerns, may also inject uncertainty into Japanese markets. As a result, additional tariffs, other trade barriers, or boycotts may have an adverse impact on the Japanese economy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**The Netherlands Investments Risk** — Investment in the Netherlands are subject to risks including: regulatory, political, currency, security, and economic risk specific to the Netherlands and the countries that use the euro. Among other things, the Netherlands' economy is heavily dependent on trading relationships with certain key trading partners, including Germany, Belgium, the U.K., France, and Italy. Future changes in the price or the demand for Dutch products or services by these countries or changes in these countries' economies, institution of tariffs or other trade barriers, trade regulations or currency exchange rates could adversely impact the Dutch economy and the issuers to which the Fund has exposure. The Dutch economy relies on export of financial services to other European countries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Taiwan Investment Risk** — Investments in Taiwan are subject to risks, including, but not limited to, legal, regulatory, political, currency and economic risks that are specific to Taiwan. Specifically, Taiwan's geographic proximity and history of political contention with China have resulted in ongoing tensions between the two countries, which may materially affect the Taiwanese companies. Investments in securities of Taiwanese companies are subject to Taiwan's heavy dependence on exports. Reductions in spending on Taiwanese products and services, labor shortages, institution of tariffs or other trade barriers, or a downturn in any of the economies of Taiwan's key trading partners, including the United States, may have an adverse impact on the Taiwanese economy and the values of Taiwanese companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**United Kingdom Investments Risk** — The United Kingdom has one of the largest economies in Europe, and the United States and other European countries are substantial trading partners of the United Kingdom. As a result, the British economy may be impacted by the institution of tariffs or other trade barriers as well as changes to the economic condition of the United States and other European countries. The British economy relies heavily on the export of financial services to the United States and other European countries and, therefore, a prolonged slowdown in the financial services sector may have a negative impact on the British economy.

Continued governmental involvement or control in certain sectors may stifle competition in certain sectors or cause adverse effects on economic growth. On January 31, 2020, the United Kingdom left the European Union (referred to as "Brexit") and on this date the United Kingdom entered a transition period that ended on December 31, 2020. During this time, the United Kingdom negotiated its future relationship with the European Union. Following the transition period, the United Kingdom's post-Brexit trade agreement with the European Union passed into law in December 2020 and went into effect January 1, 2021. The Trade and Cooperation Agreement does not provide the United Kingdom with the same level of rights or access to all goods and services in the European Union as the United Kingdom previously maintained as a member of the European Union and during the transition period. In particular, the Trade and Cooperation Agreement does not include an agreement on financial services which is yet to be agreed. Given the size and importance of the United Kingdom's economy, uncertainty about its legal, political, and economic relationship with the remaining member states of the European Union may continue to be a source of instability. Brexit could lead to legal and tax uncertainty and potentially divergent national laws and regulations, as the United Kingdom determines which European Union laws to replace or replicate.

The United Kingdom is experiencing rapid increases in inflation and the cost of living, termed by many as a "cost of living crisis" (the cost of living in the United Kingdom having risen at its fastest rate in 30 years) which could lead to further economic stress as consumers reduce their household expenditure leading to a negative impact on businesses (in particular those in the retail and service sectors). The United Kingdom is in a rising interest rate environment (in part to curb inflationary rises) and such rises in interest rates are likely to be passed on to consumers leading to an increase in their cost of debt as well as further discouraging expenditure.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Debt Instrument Risk** — Debt instruments may have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates and other factors. Typically, the prices of outstanding debt instruments fall when interest rates rise. Without taking into account other factors, the prices of debt instruments with longer maturities may fluctuate more in response to interest rate changes than those of debt instruments with shorter maturities. In addition, changes in the credit quality of the issuer of a debt instrument (including a default) can also affect the price of a debt instrument. Many types of debt instruments are subject to prepayment risk, which is the risk that the issuer of the security will repay principal (in part or in whole) prior to the maturity date. Debt instruments allowing prepayment may offer less potential for gains during a period of declining interest rates, as a Fund may be required to reinvest the proceeds received at lower interest rates. Callable bonds may

also have lower sensitivity to interest rate declines than non-callable bonds or Treasury Securities. Such factors may cause the value of an investment in the Fund to change. Debt markets can be volatile and the value of instruments correlated with these markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Debt instruments in the Index may underperform other debt instruments that track other markets, segments and sectors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Management Risk** — ProFund Access VP High Yield is actively managed and its performance reflects the investment decisions that ProFund Advisors makes for it. ProFund Advisors' judgements about ProFund Access VP High Yield's investments may prove to be incorrect. If the investments selected and strategies employed by ProFund Access VP High Yield fail to produce the intended results, ProFund Access VP High Yield could underperform or have negative returns as compared to other funds with a similar investment objective and/or strategies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**High Yield Risk** — Investment in or exposure to high yield (lower rated) debt instruments (also known as "junk bonds") may involve greater levels of credit, prepayment, liquidity and valuation risk than for higher rated instruments. High yield debt instruments may be more sensitive to economic changes, political changes, or adverse developments specific to a company than other fixed income instruments. These securities are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to economic changes, valuation difficulties, and a potential lack of a secondary or public market for securities. High yield debt instruments are considered speculative with respect to the issuer's continuing ability to make principal and interest payments and, therefore, such instruments generally involve greater risk of default or price changes than higher rated debt instruments. An economic downturn or period of rising interest rates could adversely affect the market for these securities and reduce market liquidity (liquidity risk). A lack of liquidity could adversely affect the price at which a particular high yield debt instrument may be sold. Less active markets may also diminish ProFund Access VP High Yield's ability to obtain accurate market quotations when valuing the portfolio securities and thereby give rise to valuation risk, including causing large fluctuations in the NAV of ProFund Access VP High Yield's shares. High yield debt instruments may also present risks based on payment expectations. For example, these instruments may contain redemption or call provisions. If an issuer exercises these provisions in a declining interest rate market, a security may be replaced with a lower yielding security. If the issuer of a security is in default with respect to interest or principal payments, the issuer's security could lose its entire value. Furthermore, the transaction costs associated with the purchase and sale of high yield debt instruments may vary greatly depending upon a number of factors and may adversely affect ProFund Access VP High Yield's performance. Adverse publicity and investor perceptions may decrease the values and liquidity of high yield

------

**230 :: Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks**

debt instruments generally and new laws and proposed new laws may adversely impact the market for high yield debt instruments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Inflation Risk** — Inflation rates may change frequently and drastically as a result of various factors, including unexpected shifts in the domestic or global economy, and a Fund's investments may not keep pace with inflation, which may result in losses to a Fund's investors. Recently, there have been signs of inflationary price movements. As such, fixed income securities markets may experience heightened levels of interest rate volatility and liquidity risk.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Money Market Fund Risk** — The share price of money market funds can fall below the $1.00 share price. You should not rely on or expect ProFund Advisors to enter into support agreements or take other actions to maintain the Fund's $1.00 share price. The credit quality of the Fund's holdings can change rapidly in certain markets, and the default of a single holding could have an adverse impact on the Fund's share price. The Fund's share price can also be negatively affected during periods of high redemption pressures and/or illiquid markets. The actions of a few large investors in the Fund may have a significant adverse effect on the share price of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Tax Risk** — In order to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded a regulated investment company ("RIC") and its shareholders, a Fund must derive at least 90% of its gross income for each taxable year from "qualifying income," meet certain asset diversification tests at the end of each taxable quarter, and meet annual distribution requirements. A Fund's pursuit of its investment strategies will potentially be limited by the Fund's intention to qualify for such treatment and could adversely affect the Fund's ability to so qualify. A Fund may make certain investments, the treatment of which for these purposes is unclear. If, in any year, a Fund were to fail to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded a RIC and its shareholders, and were ineligible to or were not to cure such failure, the Fund would be taxed in the same manner as an ordinary corporation subject to U.S. federal income tax on all its income at the fund level. The resulting taxes could substantially reduce a Fund's net assets and the amount of income available for distribution. In addition, in order to requalify for taxation as a RIC, a Fund could be required to recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest, and make certain distributions. Please see the section entitled "Taxation" in the Statement of Additional Information for more information.

**Other Risks**

In addition to the risks noted above, many other factors may also affect the value of an investment in a Fund, such as market conditions, interest rates and other economic, political or financial developments. The impact of these developments on a Fund will depend upon the types of investments in which the Fund invests, the Fund's level of investment in particular issuers and other factors, including the financial condition, industry,

economic sector and location of such issuers. The SAI contains additional information about each Fund, its investment strategies and related risks. Each Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to those identified as principal risks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Money Market Instruments Risk** — Money market instruments may be adversely affected by market and economic events. Adverse economic, political or other developments affecting issuers of money market instruments or defaults by transaction counterparties may also have a negative impact on the performance and liquidity of such instruments. Each of these could have a negative impact on the performance of a Fund. Money market instruments may include money market funds.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Cybersecurity Risk** — With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet, artificial intelligence technologies and the dependence on computer systems to perform necessary business functions, each Fund, financial intermediaries, service providers and the relevant listing exchange are susceptible to operational, information security and related "cyber" risks. In general, cyber incidents can result from deliberate attacks or unintentional events. Cyber attacks include, but are not limited to gaining unauthorized access to digital systems for purposes of misappropriating assets or sensitive information, corrupting data, or causing operational disruption. Cyber attacks may also be carried out in a manner that does not require gaining unauthorized access, such as causing among other behaviors, stealing or corrupting data maintained online or digitally, and denial of service attacks on websites. Cybersecurity failures or breaches of a Fund's third party service provider (including, but not limited to, index providers, the administrator and transfer agent) or the issuers of securities and/or financial instruments in which the Fund invests, have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, the inability of Fund shareholders to transact business, violations of applicable privacy and other laws. For instance, cyber attacks may interfere with the processing of shareholder transactions, impact a Fund's ability to calculate its NAV, cause the release of private shareholder information or confidential Fund information, impede trading, cause reputational damage, and subject a Fund to regulatory fines, penalties or financial losses, reimbursement or other compensation costs, and/or additional compliance costs. In addition, substantial costs may be incurred in order to prevent any cyber incidents in the future. Each Fund and its shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result. While a Fund or its service providers may have established business continuity plans and systems designed to guard against such cyber attacks or adverse effects of such attacks, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems including the possibility that certain risks have not been identified, in large part because different unknown threats may emerge in the future. Similar types of cybersecurity risks also are present for issuers of securities in which a Fund invests, which could result in material adverse consequences for such issuers, and may cause the Fund's

------

**Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks :: 231**

investments in such securities to lose value. In addition, cyber attacks involving a counterparty to a Fund could affect such a counterparty's ability to meets it obligations to the Fund, which may result in losses to the Fund and its shareholders. ProFund Advisors and the Trust do not control the cybersecurity plans and systems, including artificial intelligence, put in place by third party service providers, and such third party service providers may have no or limited indemnification obligations to ProFund Advisors or a Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Risk of Global Economic Shock** — Economic, financial, public health, labor and other global market developments and disruptions, including public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics, natural or environmental disasters, war and other armed conflicts, terrorism, social unrest, recessions, inflation, rapid interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions, governmental or quasi-governmental actions (including sanctions and other similar measures) and other circumstances in one country or region have been and may continue to be highly disruptive to economies and markets. Health crises could exacerbate political, social, and economic risks, and result in breakdowns, delays, shutdowns, social isolation, civil unrest, periods of high unemployment, shortages in and disruptions to the medical care and consumer goods and services industries, and other disruptions to important global, local and regional supply chains, with potential corresponding results on the performance of a Fund and its investments.

Additionally, wars, military conflicts, sanctions, acts of terrorism, sustained elevated inflation, supply chain issues, the institution of tariffs or other trade barriers, or other events could have a significant negative impact on global financial markets and economies. Ongoing trade disputes between the United States and other countries may lead to tariffs and investment restrictions, negatively impacting affected companies and their securities. These disputes can also harm the economies of the United States and its trading partners, as well as financial markets overall. Russia's military incursions in Ukraine have led to, and may lead to additional sanctions being levied by the United States, European Union and other countries against Russia. The ongoing hostilities between the two countries could result in additional widespread conflict and could have a severe adverse effect on the region and certain markets. Sanctions on Russian exports could have a significant adverse impact on the Russian economy and related markets and could affect the value of a Fund's investments, even beyond any direct exposure a Fund may have to the region or to adjoining geographic regions. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could have a severe adverse effect on the region, including significant negative impacts on the economy and the markets for certain securities and commodities, such as oil and natural gas. Furthermore, the possibility of a prolonged conflict between Hamas and Israel, and the potential expansion of the conflict in the surrounding areas and the involvement of other

nations in such conflict, such as the Houthi movement's attacks on marine vessels in the Red Sea, could further destabilize the Middle East region and introduce new uncertainties in global markets, including the oil and natural gas markets. How long such tensions and related events will last cannot be predicted. These tensions and any related events could have significant impact on a Fund performance and the value of an investment in a Fund.

Ongoing geopolitical events, such as the U.S. and Israel military action against Iran that began in February 2026 and Iran's responses thereto, including attacks on marine vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. military operation in Venezuela that started in January 2026, the Israel-Hamas conflict, including the Houthi movement's attacks on marine vessels in the Red Sea, and Russia's continued military actions against Ukraine that began in February 2022 and the U.S. responses to may continue to have, an impact on certain commodities markets, particularly the market for crude oil, commodity futures markets, including futures on crude oil, and the prices of the Oil Funds. For example, historically, Russia has been a significant global exporter of crude oil. The front end of the crude oil futures curve was flat for most of 2025. Crude oil prices were flat during 2025, but have spiked in the first quarter of 2026 due to conflict in the Middle East and the resulting negative impacts on energy infrastructure. While a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas was reached in January 2025, there is no guarantee that the parties will continue to comply with the terms of the agreement and the agreement does not mean the conflict will be resolved. For example, there have been reports of the possible resumption of Houthi-led attacks on marine vessels in the Red Sea as a result of the U.S. and Israel military action against Iran. The possibility of a continued and prolonged conflict between the U.S. and Israel against Iran, the U.S. military operation in Venezuela and the Israel-Hamas conflict, and the potential expansion of those conflicts in the surrounding areas and the involvement of other nations in such conflict, could further destabilize the respective regions and introduce new uncertainties in global markets, including the crude oil markets. This may increase or decrease volatility of the Funds' shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Risks of Government Regulation** —The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") issued a notice on March 8, 2022 seeking comment on measures that could prevent or restrict investors from buying a broad range of public securities designated as "complex products" — which could include the leveraged and inverse funds offered by ProFund Advisors. The ultimate impact, if any, of these measures remains unclear. However, if regulations are adopted, they could, among other things, prevent or restrict investors' ability to buy the funds.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Natural Disaster/Epidemic Risk** — Natural or environmental disasters, such as earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis and other severe weather-related

------

**232 :: Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks**

phenomena generally, and widespread disease, including pandemics and epidemics (for example, COVID-19), have been and can be highly disruptive to economies and markets and have recently led, and may continue to lead, to increased market volatility and significant market losses. Such natural disaster and health crises could exacerbate political, social, and economic risks, and result in significant breakdowns, delays, shutdowns, social isolation, and other disruptions to important global, local and regional supply chains affected, with potential corresponding results on the operating performance of each Fund and its investments. A climate of uncertainty and panic, including the contagion of infectious viruses or diseases, may adversely affect global, regional, and local economies and reduce the availability of potential investment opportunities, and increases the difficulty of performing due diligence and modeling market conditions, potentially reducing the accuracy of financial projections. Under these circumstances, each Fund may have difficulty achieving its investment objectives which may adversely impact Fund performance. Further, such events can be highly disruptive to economies and markets, significantly disrupt the operations of individual companies (including, but not limited to, each Fund's investment advisor, third party service providers, and counterparties), sectors, industries, markets, securities and commodity exchanges, currencies, interest and inflation rates, credit ratings, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of each Fund's investments. These factors can cause substantial market volatility, exchange trading suspensions and closures, changes in the availability of and the margin requirements for certain instruments, and can impact the ability of each Fund to complete redemptions and otherwise affect Fund performance and Fund trading in the secondary market. A widespread crisis would also affect the global economy in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. How long such events will last and whether they will continue or recur cannot be predicted. Impacts from these events could have a significant impact on each Fund's performance, resulting in losses to your investment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Operational Risk** — A Fund, its service providers and financial intermediaries are subject to operational risks arising from, among other things, human error, systems and technology errors and disruptions, failed or inadequate controls, and fraud. These errors may adversely affect a Fund's operations, including its ability to execute its investment process, calculate or disseminate its NAV or intraday indicative value in a timely manner, and process purchases or redemptions. While a Fund seeks to minimize such events through controls and oversight, there may still be failures and a Fund may be unable to recover any damages associated with such failures. These failures may have a material adverse effect on a Fund's returns. Each Fund relies on order information provided by financial intermediaries to determine the net inflows and outflows. As a result, each Fund is subject to operational risks associated with reliance on those financial intermediaries and their data sources. In particular, errors in

the order information may result in the purchase or sale of the instruments in which a Fund invests in a manner that may be disadvantageous to a Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Portfolio Turnover Risk** — A Fund may incur high portfolio turnover in connection with managing the Fund's investment exposure. Additionally, active trading of the Fund's shares is expected to cause more frequent purchase and sales activities that could, in certain circumstances, increase the number of portfolio transactions. High levels of portfolio transactions increase brokerage and other transaction costs and may result in increased taxable capital gains. Each of these factors could have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Securities Lending Risk** — A Fund may engage in securities lending. Securities lending involves the risk, as with other extensions of credit, that a Fund may lose money because (a) the borrower of the loaned securities fails to return the securities in a timely manner or at all or (b) it loses its rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially. A Fund could also lose money in the event of a decline in the value of collateral provided for loaned securities or a decline in the value of any investments made with cash collateral. These events could also trigger adverse tax consequences for a Fund. In determining whether to lend securities, ProFund Advisors or the Fund's securities lending agent will consider relevant facts and circumstances, including the creditworthiness of the borrower.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Shareholder Concentration Risk** — A large percentage of each Fund's shares are held by a small number of record owners. Purchase and sale activity by concentrated owners may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund. Large movements of assets into and out of the Fund may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Tax Risk** — In order to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded a regulated investment company ("RIC") and its shareholders, a Fund must derive at least 90% of its gross income for each taxable year from "qualifying income," meet certain asset diversification tests at the end of each taxable quarter, and meet annual distribution requirements. A Fund's pursuit of its investment strategies will potentially be limited by the Fund's intention to qualify for such treatment and could adversely affect the Fund's ability to so qualify. A Fund may make certain investments, the treatment of which for these purposes is unclear. If, in any year, a Fund were to fail to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded a RIC and its shareholders, and were ineligible to or were not to cure such failure, the Fund would be taxed in the same manner as an ordinary corporation subject to U.S. federal income tax on all its income at the fund level. The resulting taxes could substantially reduce a Fund's net assets and the amount of income available for distribution. In addition, in order to requalify for taxation as a RIC, a Fund could be required to

------

**Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks :: 233**

recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest, and make certain distributions. Please see the section entitled "Taxation" in the Statement of Additional Information for more information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Valuation Risk** — In certain circumstances (e.g., if ProFund Advisors believes market quotations are not reliable, or a trading halt closes an exchange or market early), ProFund Advisors may, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of a Fund, choose to determine a fair value price as the basis for determining the value of such investment for such day. The fair value of an investment determined by ProFund Advisors may be different from other value determinations of the same investment. Portfolio investments that are valued using techniques other than market quotations, including "fair valued" investments, may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. In addition, there is no assurance that a Fund could sell a portfolio investment for the value established for it at any time, and it is possible that a Fund would incur a loss because a portfolio investment is sold at a discount to its established value.

**Additional Securities, Instruments and Strategies**

This section describes additional securities, instruments and strategies that may be utilized by a Fund that are not principal investment strategies of a Fund unless otherwise noted in the Fund's description of principal strategies in the Fund's Summary Prospectus. Additional Information about the types of investments that a Fund may make is set forth in the SAI.

In certain circumstances, a Fund may gain exposure to only a representative sample of the securities in the index, which exposure is intended to have aggregate characteristics similar to the index. In addition, a Fund may overweight or underweight certain components contained in its underlying index, or invest in investments not contained in the index but that are designed to provide the requisite exposure to the index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Debt Securities** are fixed income securities, which may include foreign sovereign, sub-sovereign and supranational bonds, as well as any other obligations of any rating or maturity such as foreign and domestic investment grade corporate debt securities and lower-rated corporate debt securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Corporate Debt** Securities are debt instruments issued by a corporation that represent the obligation of the corporation to repay a loan face amount with interest within a set period of time. These securities may be of any credit quality and may include junk bonds and securities that are not rated by any rating agency.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Depositary Receipts** include American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**ADRs** represent the right to receive securities of foreign issuers deposited in a bank or trust company. ADRs are an

alternative to purchasing the underlying securities in their national markets and currencies. Investment in ADRs has certain advantages over direct investment in the underlying foreign securities because: (i) ADRs are U.S. dollar-denominated investments that are easily transferable and for which market quotations are readily available; and (ii) issuers whose securities are represented by ADRs are generally subject to auditing, accounting and financial reporting standards similar to those applied to domestic issuers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**GDRs** are receipts for shares in a foreign-based corporation traded in capital markets around the world. While ADRs permit foreign corporations to offer shares to American citizens, GDRs allow companies in Europe, Asia, the United States and Latin America to offer shares in many markets around the world.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Other Investment Companies** — A Fund may invest in the securities of other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (ETFs), to the extent that such an investment would be consistent with the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"). If a Fund invests in, and, thus, is a shareholder of, another investment company, the Fund's shareholders will indirectly bear the Fund's proportionate share of the fees and expenses paid by such other investment company, including advisory fees, in addition to both the management fees payable directly by the Fund to the Fund's own investment advisor and the other expenses that the Fund bears directly in connection with the Fund's own operations.

Because most ETFs are investment companies, absent reliance on Rule 12d1-4 under the 1940 Act, a Fund's investments in such investment companies generally would be limited under applicable federal statutory provisions. Those provisions typically restrict a Fund's investment in the shares of another investment company to up to 5% of its assets (which may represent no more than 3% of the securities of such other investment company) and limit aggregate investments in all investment companies to 10% of assets. A Fund may invest in certain ETFs in excess of the statutory limit in reliance on Rule 12d1-4. Rule 12d1-4 outlines the requirements of fund of funds agreements and specifies the responsibilities of the Board related to "fund of funds" arrangements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Money Market Instruments** are short-term debt instruments that have a remaining maturity of 397 days or less and exhibit high quality credit profiles. Money market instruments may include U.S. government securities, securities issued by governments of other developed countries and repurchase agreements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**Repurchase Agreements** are 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.

------

**234 :: Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○**U.S. Government Securities** are issued by the U.S. government or one of its agencies or instrumentalities. Some, but not all, U.S. government securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the federal government. Other U.S. government securities are backed by the issuer's right to borrow from the U.S. Treasury and some are backed only by the credit of the issuing organization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Options on Securities and Stock Indexes and Investments Covering such Positions** Option contracts grant one party a right, for a price, either to buy or sell a security or futures contract at a fixed price during a specified period or on a specified day. A call option gives one the right to buy a security at an agreed-upon price on or before a certain date. A put option gives one the right to sell a security at an agreed-upon price on or before a certain date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Reverse Repurchase Agreements** involve the sale of a security by a Fund to another party (generally a bank or dealer) in return for cash and an agreement by the Fund to buy the securities back at a specified price and time. Reverse repurchase agreements may be considered a form of borrowing for some purposes and may create leverage.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Securities Lending** — A Fund may lend securities to brokers, dealers and financial organizations under guidelines adopted by the Board. A Fund may loan up to one-third of the value of the Fund's total assets (including the value of any collateral received). Each loan may be secured by collateral in the form of cash, Money Market Instruments or U.S. Government securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Structured Notes** are debt obligations which may include components such as swaps, forwards, options, caps or floors which change their return patterns. Structured notes may be used to alter the risks to a portfolio, or alternatively may be used to expose a portfolio to asset classes or markets in which one does not desire to invest directly.

**Precautionary Notes**

**A Precautionary Note Regarding Regulation of Derivatives** — Current global regulation of and future changes with respect to derivatives may alter, perhaps to a material extent, the nature of an investment in a Fund or the ability of a Fund to continue to implement its investment strategies.

The derivatives markets are subject to comprehensive statutes and regulations, including margin requirements. In addition, certain regulators including the CFTC and the exchanges on which certain derivatives trade are authorized to take extraordinary actions in the event of a market emergency, including, for example, in respect of the futures markets, the implementation of higher margin requirements, the establishment of daily price limits and the suspension of trading. The regulation of derivative transactions (including swaps and futures transactions) is an evolving area of law and is subject to modification by government and judicial action. The full impact of derivatives regulations on a Fund is difficult to predict, but could be substantial and adverse.

In particular, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act") made broad changes to the OTC derivatives market and granted significant authority to regulators, including the SEC and CFTC to regulate OTC derivatives and market participants. The European Union, the United Kingdom, and some other countries have implemented and continue to implement similar requirements that will affect a Fund when it enters into derivatives transactions with a counterparty organized in those jurisdictions or otherwise subject to applicable derivatives regulations. Global derivatives regulations include clearing, trade execution, margin and reporting requirements.

In addition, Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act provides for the regulation of registered investment companies' use of derivatives and certain related instruments. The rule, among other things, limits derivatives exposure through one of two value-at-risk tests (with an exception for certain funds that were in operation as of October 28, 2020 and that seek an investment result above 200% of the return (or inverse of the return) of an underlying index, including those that seek daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to three times (3x) or three times the inverse (-3x) of the daily performance of an index as discussed above). Limited derivatives users (as determined by Rule 18f-4) are not, however, subject to the full requirements under the rule.

Regulations can, among other things, adversely affect the value of the investments held by a Fund, restrict a Fund's ability to engage in derivatives transactions (for example, by making certain derivatives transactions no longer available to that Fund) and/or increase the costs of such derivatives transactions (for example, by increasing margin or capital requirements), which could adversely affect investors. It is also unclear how regulatory changes will affect counterparty risk. In particular, position limits imposed on a Fund or its counterparties may impact that Fund's ability to invest in a manner that efficiently meets its investment objective, and requirements, including capital and mandatory clearing for certain swaps, may increase the cost of a Fund's investments and cost of doing business, which could adversely affect investors. Because these requirements are evolving, their ultimate impact remains unclear.

**A Note Regarding the Diversification of Certain of the Classic ProFunds VP and Sector ProFunds VP** 

Certain of the Classic ProFunds VP and Sector ProFunds VP (ProFund VP Consumer Discretionary, ProFund VP Europe 30, ProFund VP Industrials, ProFund VP Large-Cap Growth, ProFund VP Large-Cap Value, ProFund VP Mid-Cap Growth, ProFund VP Mid-Cap Value, ProFund VP Real Estate, ProFund VP Small-Cap Growth, ProFund VP Small-Cap Value and ProFund VP Utilities, each an "Affected Fund" and together the "Diversified Funds") are currently "diversified" as that term is defined in the 1940 Act and have been operating as diversified investment companies for more than three years.

------

Although the Affected Funds had previously designated themselves as "non-diversified" companies, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission takes the position that any fund that registers itself as a non-diversified company but that operates as a diversified company for more than three years must obtain shareholder approval before it can once again operate as a non-diversified company. As a diversified fund, at least 75% of the value of each Affected Fund's total assets must be represented by cash and cash items (including receivables), U.S. Government securities, securities of other investment companies, and other securities for the purposes of this calculation limited in respect of any one issuer (i) to an amount not greater in value than 5% of the value of the total assets of such Affected Fund and (ii) to not more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer.

**Investment Advisor**

ProFund Advisors, located at 7272 Wisconsin Avenue, 21<sup>st</sup> Floor, Bethesda, Maryland 20814, serves as the investment adviser to each Fund and provides investment advice and management services to each Fund. ProFund Advisors oversees the investment and reinvestment of the assets in each Fund.

ProFund Advisors bears the costs of providing advisory services. Subject to the condition that the aggregate daily net assets of the Trust are equal to or greater than $10 billion, ProFund Advisors has agreed to reduce each Fund's annual investment advisory fee by 0.025% on assets in excess of $500 million up to $1 billion, 0.05% on assets in excess of $1 billion up to $2 billion and 0.075% on assets in excess of $2 billion.

ProFund Advisors has contractually agreed to waive investment advisory and management services fees and/or to reimburse certain other Fund expenses through at least April 30, 2027.

This expense limitation/reimbursement agreement may be changed or terminated early only if approved by the Fund's Board.

**General ProFunds VP Information :: 243**

**Determination of NAV**

The price at which you purchase, redeem and exchange shares is the NAV per share next determined after your transaction request is received by the transfer agent in good order (i.e., required forms are complete and, in the case of a purchase, correct payment is received). Each Fund calculates its NAV by taking the value of the assets attributed to the class, subtracting any liabilities attributed to the class, and dividing that amount by the number of that class' outstanding shares.

Each Fund's assets are valued primarily on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service or market quotations. Securities that are listed or traded on a stock exchange or the Nasdaq or National Market System are generally valued at the closing price, if available, on the exchange or market where the security is principally traded (including the Nasdaq Official Closing Price). Short-term securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost or based on market prices. Securities traded regularly in the over-the-counter market are generally valued on the basis of the mean between the bid and asked quotes furnished by dealers actively trading those securities. Futures contracts purchased and held by a Fund are generally valued at the last sale price prior to the time the Fund determines its NAV or at the official futures settlement price on the relevant exchange. Routine valuation of certain derivatives is performed using procedures approved by the Board. In addition, certain derivatives linked to a benchmark may be valued based on the performance of one or more U.S. ETFs or instruments that reflect the values of the securities in such benchmark, when the level of the benchmark is not computed as of the close of the U.S. securities markets. Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of a Fund's shares may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar (and, therefore, the NAV of Funds that hold these securities) may be affected significantly on a day that the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares. In particular, calculation of the NAV of the Funds may not take place contemporaneously with the determination of the prices of foreign securities used in NAV calculations.

ProFund VP Government Money Market Fund is expected to maintain a constant NAV of $1.00 per share using the amortized cost method of valuation.

ProFund VP Government Money Market uses the amortized cost method to value its assets pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. This method does not reflect daily fluctuations in market value. See the SAI for more details.

If market quotations are not readily available, an investment may be valued by a method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. The use of such a fair valuation method may be appropriate if, for example: (i) ProFund Advisors believes market quotations do not accurately reflect fair value of

an investment; (ii) ProFund Advisors believes an investment's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market); (iii) a trading halt closes an exchange or market early; or (iv) other events result in an exchange or market delaying its normal close. Any such fair valuations will be conducted pursuant to Board approved fair valuation procedures. At times, each Fund may, pursuant to Board-approved procedures, write down the value of an investment or other asset to reflect, among other things, decreases in the value of the asset or decreases in the likelihood that a Fund will be able to collect on the asset. These write downs will reduce the value of the asset and, ultimately, the value of a Fund. Fair valuation procedures involve the risk that a Fund's valuation of an investment may be higher or lower than the price the investment might actually command if a Fund sold it.

Each Fund normally calculates its daily share price for each class of shares at the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) every day the NYSE is open for business except for any day during which the relevant bond markets are closed and the NYSE is open (currently expected to be Columbus Day and Veterans Day).

To the extent a Fund's portfolio investments trade in markets on days or at times when a Fund is not open for business or when the primary exchange for the shares is not open, the value of a Fund's assets may vary on those days. In addition, trading in certain portfolio investments may not occur on days or at times a Fund is open for business. In particular, calculation of the NAV of a Funds may not take place contemporaneously with the determination of the prices of foreign securities used in NAV calculations. If the exchange or market on which a Fund's underlying investments are primarily traded closes early, the NAV may be calculated prior to its normal calculation time.

**NYSE Holiday Schedule:**The NYSE is open every week, Monday through Friday, except when the following holidays are celebrated: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day (the third Monday in January), Washington's Birthday (observed), Good Friday, Memorial Day (the last Monday in May), Juneteenth National Independence Day, Independence Day, Labor Day (the first Monday in September), Thanksgiving Day (the fourth Thursday in November) and Christmas Day. Exchange holiday schedules are subject to change without notice.

The NYSE will close early (1:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on the day before Independence Day and on the day after Thanksgiving Day.

**Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association's ("SIFMA") Proposed Close and Early Close Schedule:** On the following days in 2026 and 2027 SIFMA has recommended that the U.S. bond markets close: January 1, 2026, January 19, 2026, February 16, 2026, May 25, 2026, June 19, 2026, July 3, 2026, September 7, 2026, October 12, 2026, November 11, 2026, November 26, 2026, December 25, 2026, January 1, 2027, January 18, 2027, February 15, 2027, March 26, 2027, May 31,

2027, June 18, 2027, July 5, 2027, September 6, 2027, October 11, 2027, November 11, 2027, November 25, 2027 and December 24, 2027. SIFMA has recommended that the U.S. bond markets close early at 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on April 3, 2026, July 2, 2026, November 27, 2026, December 24, 2026 and December 31, 2026, March 25, 2027, May 28, 2027, July 2, 2027, November 26, 2027, December 23, 2027 and December 31, 2027.

**Form of Redemption Proceeds**

You may receive redemption proceeds of your sale of shares of a Fund in a check, Automated Clearing House ("ACH"), or federal wire transfer. The Funds typically expect that it will take one to three days following the receipt of your redemption request made in "good order" to pay out redemption proceeds; however, while not expected, payment of redemption proceeds may take up to seven days. Each Fund maintains a cash balance that serves as a primary source of liquidity for meeting redemption requests. The Funds may also use the proceeds from the sale of portfolio securities to meet redemption requests if consistent with the management of a Fund. The Funds reserve the right to redeem in-kind. Each of these redemption methods may be used regularly and in stressed market conditions in conformity with applicable rules of the SEC.

**Cost Basis Reporting:** Upon the redemption or exchange of your shares in a Fund, the Fund or, if you purchase your shares through a financial intermediary, your financial intermediary generally will be required to provide you and the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") with cost basis and certain other related tax information about Fund shares you redeemed or exchanged. This cost basis reporting requirement is effective for shares purchased, including through dividend reinvestment, on or after January 1, 2012. Please see the Funds' website www.profunds.com or consult your financial intermediary, as appropriate, for more information regarding available methods for cost basis reporting and how to select or change a particular method. Please consult your tax advisor to determine which available cost basis method is best for you.

**Distributions**

Each Fund intends to distribute its net investment income and capital gains, if any, to shareholders at least annually to qualify for treatment as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as follows:

ProFund Access VP High Yield, ProFund VP Government Money

Market, ProFund VP Real Estate and ProFund VP U.S. Government Plus reserve the right to include in a dividend any short-term capital gains on securities that they sell.

The Funds do not announce dividend distribution dates in advance. Certain investment strategies employed by certain Funds may produce income or net short-term capital gains which a Funds may seek to distribute more frequently. Each Fund may declare additional capital gains distributions during a year. Each Fund will reinvest distributions in additional shares of the Fund making the distribution, unless a shareholder has written to request distributions in cash (by check, wire or ACH).

ProFund VP Government Money Market may revise its policies, postpone the payment of dividends and interest, or take other actions in order to maintain a constant NAV.

**Purchasing and Redeeming Shares**

Shares of each Fund are available for purchase by insurance company separate accounts to serve as an investment medium for variable insurance contracts, and by qualified pension and retirement plans, certain insurance companies, and ProFund Advisors. Shares of each Fund are purchased or redeemed at the NAV per share next determined after receipt and acceptance of a purchase order or receipt of a redemption request. Each Fund reserves the right to reject or refuse, in its discretion, any order for the purchase of its shares, in whole or in part. Investors do not contact a Fund directly to purchase or redeem shares. Please refer to the prospectus of the relevant separate account for the information on the allocation of premiums and on transfers of accumulated value among sub-accounts of the separate accounts that invest in the Funds.

Payment for shares redeemed normally will be made within seven days of redemption. Each Fund intend to pay cash for all shares redeemed, but under abnormal conditions which make payment in cash inadvisable, payment may be made wholly or partly in portfolio securities at their then market value equal to the redemption price. A shareholder may incur brokerage costs in converting such securities to cash. Payment for shares may be delayed under extraordinary circumstances or as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission in order to protect remaining investors.

Each Fund currently does not foresee any disadvantages to investors if a Fund served as investment vehicles for both variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies. However, it is theoretically possible that the interest of owners of annuity contracts and insurance policies for which a Fund served as an investment vehicle might at some time be in conflict due to differences in tax treatment or other considerations. The Board of Trustees and each participating insurance company would be required to monitor events to identify any material conflicts between variable annuity contract owners and variable life insurance policy owners, and would have to determine what action, if any, should be taken in the event of such a conflict. If such a conflict occurred, an insurance company participating in

------

**General ProFunds VP Information :: 245**

the Fund might be required to redeem the investment of one or more of its separate accounts from the Fund, which might force the Fund to sell securities at disadvantageous prices.

Each Fund reserve the right to discontinue offering shares at any time, or to cease investment operations entirely. In the event that a Fund ceases offering its shares, any investments allocated to the Fund may, subject to any necessary regulatory approvals, be invested in another Fund deemed appropriate by the Board of Trustees.

**Distribution (12b-1) Plan**

Under a Rule 12b-1 distribution plan adopted by the Board of Trustees, each Fund may pay insurance companies, broker-dealers, banks and other financial institutions an annual fee of 0.25% of its average daily net assets as reimbursement or compensation for providing or procuring a variety of services relating to the promotion, sale and servicing of shares of a Fund. Over time, fees paid under the plan will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than other types of sales charges.

**Payments to Financial Firms**

ProFund Advisors or other service providers may utilize their own resources to finance distribution or service activities on behalf of each Fund, including compensating the Distributor and other third parties, including financial firms, for distribution-related activities or the provision of share-holder services. These payments are not reflected in the fees and expenses section of the fee table for each Fund contained in this Prospectus.

A financial firm is one that, in exchange for compensation, sells, among other products, mutual fund shares (including the shares offered in this Prospectus) or provides services for mutual fund shareholders. Financial firms include registered investment advisers, brokers, dealers, insurance companies and banks. In addition to the payments described above, the Distributor and ProFund Advisors may from time to time provide other incentives to selected financial firms as compensation for services (including preferential services) such as, without limitation, paying for active asset allocation services provided to investors in each Fund, providing each Fund with "shelf space" or a higher profile for the financial firms' financial consultants and their customers, placing each Fund on the financial firms' preferred or recommended fund list, granting the Distributor or ProFund Advisors access to the financial firms' financial consultants, providing assistance in training and educating the financial firms' personnel, and furnishing marketing support and other specified services. These payments may be significant to the financial firms and may also take the form of sponsorship of seminars or informational meetings or payment for attendance by persons associated with the financial firms at seminars or informational meetings.

A number of factors will be considered in determining the amount of these additional payments to financial firms. On some occasions, such payments may be conditioned upon levels of sales, including the sale of a specified minimum dollar amount

of the shares of a Fund, other funds sponsored by ProFund Advisors and/or a particular class of shares, during a specified period of time. The Distributor and ProFund Advisors may also make payments to one or more participating financial firms based upon factors such as the amount of assets a financial firm's clients have invested in a Fund and the quality of the financial firm's relationship with the Distributor or ProFund Advisors. The additional payments described above are made at the Distributor's or ProFund Advisors' expense, as applicable. These payments may be made, at the discretion of the Distributor or ProFund Advisors to some of the financial firms that have sold the greatest amounts of shares of a Fund. In certain cases, the payments described in the preceding sentence may be subject to certain minimum payment levels.

Representatives of the Distributor and ProFund Advisors visit financial firms on a regular basis to educate financial advisors about a Fund and to encourage the sale of Fund shares to their clients. The costs and expenses associated with these efforts may include travel, lodging, sponsorship at educational seminars and conferences, entertainment and meals to the extent permitted by law and Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.

If investment advisers, distributors or affiliates of mutual funds other than a Fund make payments (including, without limitation, sub-transfer agency fees, platform fees, bonuses and incentives) in differing amounts, financial firms and their financial consultants may have financial incentives for recommending a particular mutual fund (including a Fund) over other mutual funds. In addition, depending on the arrangements in place at any particular time, a financial firm and its financial consultants may also have a financial incentive for recommending a particular share class over other share classes**. You should consult with your financial advisor and review carefully any disclosure by the financial firm as to compensation received by that firm and/or your financial advisor.** 

For further details about payments made by the Distributor or ProFund Advisors to financial firms, please see the SAI.

**Service Fees**

Each Fund may pay insurers for a variety of administrative services provided in connection with offering a Fund as investment options under contracts issued by the insurers. In addition, ProFund Advisors may pay, out of its own assets and at no cost to a Fund, amounts to insurers, broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries in connection with the provision of services to a Fund and investors, such as sub-administration, sub-transfer agency and other services, and/or the distribution of Fund shares.

**Frequent Purchases and Redemptions of Shares**

The Board of Trustees of ProFunds has adopted a "Policy Regarding Frequent Purchases and Redemptions of ProFund Shares" (the "Policy"). Pursuant to this Policy, it is the general policy of ProFunds to permit frequent purchases and

------

**246 :: General ProFunds VP Information**

redemptions of Fund shares. Each Fund imposes no restrictions and charge no redemption fees to prevent or minimize frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares other than a $10 wire fee under certain circumstances. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Policy, a Fund may reject any purchase request for any reason.

Frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares could increase the rate of portfolio turnover. A high level of portfolio turnover rate may negatively affect performance by increasing transaction costs of the Funds. In addition, large movements of assets into and out of a Fund may negatively affect a Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, a Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus.

**Taxes**

Each Fund intends to qualify and be treated each year as a RIC under the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). If a Fund qualifies as a RIC and complies with the appropriate provisions of the Code, a Fund will not be subject to federal income tax on its investment income and net capital gains that it distributes to shareholders in a timely manner. In order for a Fund to qualify for taxation as a RIC, it must meet certain tests with respect to the sources and types of its income, the nature and diversification of its assets, and the timing and amount of its distributions to shareholders.

Taxation of the shareholders. Shares of each Fund will be available only to (i) participating insurance companies and their separate accounts that fund variable annuity contracts ("VA Contracts"), variable life insurance policies ("VLI Policies") or other variable insurance contracts, (ii) qualified pension or retirement plans, and (iii) the Advisor. Under current law, the shareholders that are life insurance company "segregated asset accounts" generally will not be subject to income tax currently on income from a Fund to the extent such income is applied to increase the values of VA Contracts and VLI Policies. Qualified pension or retirement plans generally qualify separately for exemption from tax on such income.

Except where noted, the discussion below is generally based on the assumption that the shares of a Fund will be respected as owned by insurance company separate accounts. If this is not the case, the person or persons determined to own Fund shares will be currently taxed on Fund distributions, and on the proceeds of any redemption of Fund shares, under the Code.

Because the shareholders of each Fund will be separate accounts or qualified pension or retirement plans, no attempt is made here to particularly describe the federal income tax consequences at the shareholder level, nor does the discussion address other tax considerations, such as possible foreign, state or local taxes. For information concerning the federal income tax consequences to purchasers of VA Contracts and VLI Policies, please refer to the prospectus for the relevant variable contract. See the SAI for more information on taxes.

An insurance company separate account that funds VA Contracts and VLI Policies is subject to special diversification requirements under Section 817(h) of the Code. Where all the beneficial interests in a RIC are held by insurance companies and certain other eligible holders, a separate account can "look through" the RIC to determine the separate account's own diversification. Consequently, each Fund intends to diversify its investments in accordance with the requirements of Section 817(h), which generally require that, on the last day of each quarter of each calendar year, no more than 55% of the value of a Fund's total assets is represented by any one investment, no more than 70% is represented by any two investments, no more than 80% is represented by any three investments, and no more than 90% is represented by any four investments. For this purpose, securities of a single issuer are treated as one investment and each U.S. Government agency or instrumentality is treated as a separate issuer. Any security guaranteed (to the extent so guaranteed) by the U.S. Government or an agency or instrumentality of the U.S. Government is treated as a security issued by the U.S. Government or its agency or instrumentality, whichever is applicable.

If a Fund fails to meet the Section 817(h) diversification requirements or fails to qualify as a RIC for any taxable year, a separate account investing in that Fund will fail the Section 817(h) requirements and therefore any income accrued under the VA Contracts and VLI Policies invested in that Fund for the calendar year in which the failure occurred and all prior years could become currently taxable to the owners of the contracts. In addition, if the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") finds an impermissible level of "investor control" of investment options underlying VA Contracts or VLI Policies, the advantageous tax treatment provided with respect to insurance company separate accounts under the Code will no longer be available. Please see the SAI for further discussion.

Investments in securities of foreign issuers may be subject to withholding and other taxes withheld at the source, including on dividend or interest payments. In that case, a Fund's yield on those securities would be decreased.

Investments by a Fund in options, futures, forward contracts, swaps and other derivative financial instruments are subject to numerous special and complex tax rules. Because the tax rules applicable to such instruments may be uncertain under current law, an adverse determination or future IRS guidance with respect to these rules (which determination or guidance could be retroactive) may affect whether a Fund has made sufficient distributions, and otherwise satisfied the relevant requirements, to maintain its qualification as a RIC and avoid a fund-level tax.

If, in any year, a Fund were to fail to meet the income, diversification or distribution test for treatment as a RIC, a Fund could in some cases cure such failure, including by paying a fund-level tax, paying interest, making additional distributions or disposing of certain assets. If a Fund were ineligible to or did not cure such a failure for any taxable year, or otherwise failed to

------

**General ProFunds VP Information :: 247**

qualify as a RIC that is accorded special tax treatment, (1) it would be taxed as an ordinary corporation on its taxable income for that year without being able to deduct the distributions it makes to its shareholders and (2) each insurance company separate account invested in a Fund would fail to satisfy the separate diversification requirements described above, with the result that the contracts supported by that account would no longer be eligible for tax deferral. A Fund could also be required to recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest and make certain distributions before requalifying for treatment as a RIC.

**Contractual Arrangement**

The Trust enters into contractual arrangements with various parties, including, among others, the Advisor, administrator, custodian, transfer agent, and Distributor, who provide services to each Fund. Shareholders are not parties to, or intended (or

"third party") beneficiaries of, any of these contractual arrangements, and those contractual arrangements are not intended to create in any individual shareholder or group of shareholders and right to enforce them against the service providers or to seek any remedy under them against the service providers, either directly or on behalf of the Trust.

This Prospectus provides information concerning the Trust and each Fund that you should consider in determining whether to purchase shares of a Fund. None of this Prospectus, the SAI or any contract that is an exhibit to the Trust's registration statements, is intended to, nor does it, give rise to an agreement or contract between the Trust or each Fund and any investor, or give rise to any contract or other rights in any individual shareholder, group of shareholders or other person than any rights conferred explicitly by federal or state securities laws that may not be waived.

**Financial Highlights**

The following tables are intended to help you understand the financial history of each Fund for the past five years (or since inception, if shorter). Certain information reflects financial results of a single share. The total return information represents the rate of return and the per share operating performance that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in a Fund, assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. This information has been derived from information audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, whose report, along with the financial statements of a Fund, is included in the Trust's filing on Form N-CSR for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as may be amended, and is available upon request.

<sup>(a)</sup>

Per share net investment income (loss) has been calculated using the average daily shares method.

(b) Does not reflect the fees and expenses associated with the separate account that invests in the Fund or any variable annuity or variable insurance contract for which the Fund serves as an investment option.

(c) Portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to instruments having a maturity of less than one year from acquisition or derivative instruments (including swap agreements and futures contracts). The portfolio turnover rate can be high and volatile due to the amount and timing of sales and purchases of fund shares during the period.

(d) During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Fund received monies related to certain nonrecurring litigation settlements. The corresponding impact to the total return was an increase of 0.44%.

(e) The expense ratio does not correlate to the applicable expense limits in place during the period given that the annual contractual expense limitation is applied for the one year periods ended April 30th of each year, instead of coinciding with the December 31st year end.

<sup>(a)</sup>

Per share net investment income (loss) has been calculated using the average daily shares method.

(b) Does not reflect the fees and expenses associated with the separate account that invests in the Fund or any variable annuity or variable insurance contract for which the Fund serves as an investment option.

(c) Portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to instruments having a maturity of less than one year from acquisition or derivative instruments (including swap agreements and futures contracts). The portfolio turnover rate can be high and volatile due to the amount and timing of sales and purchases of fund shares during the period.

(d) The expense ratio does not correlate to the applicable expense limits in place during the period given that the annual contractual expense limitation is applied for the one year periods ended April 30th of each year, instead of coinciding with the December 31st year end.

(e) The amount shown for a share outstanding throughout the period does not accord with the change in aggregate gains and losses in the portfolio of securities during the period because of timing of sales and purchases of fund shares in relation to fluctuating market values during the period.

The Investment Advisory Fees are currently paid to DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. only. No investment advisory fee is payable to ProFund Advisors by the Fund unless the master-feeder relationship with the Portfolio is terminated.

ProFund Advisors LLC ("ProFund Advisors") has contractually undertaken to waive its fees and/or reimburse expenses to maintain the minimum yield floor limit at 0.02% through April 30, 2027 ("Minimum Yield"). ProFund Advisors has contractually agreed to waive Investment Advisory and Management Services Fees and to reimburse Other Expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 0.98% for Investor Class shares and 1.98% for Service Class shares through April 30, 2027. After such date, the expense limitation may be terminated or revised by ProFund Advisors. This agreement may not be terminated before that date without the approval of the Fund's Board. ProFund Advisors may recoup from the Fund any of the fees or expenses it has waived and/or reimbursed until the third anniversary of the end of the 12 month period ending April 30 in which such waiver and/or reimbursement occurs, to the extent that such recoupment would not cause the Fund's net yield to fall below the Fund's previously determined Minimum Yield or the expenses to exceed the overall expense ratio limit in effect at the time of the waiver and/or reimbursement.

Reflects the expenses of both the Fund and the Portfolio.

**Example:** This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem or hold all of your

shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | 1 Year | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years |
| Investor Class | $96 | $300 | $520 | $1155 |
| Service Class | $197 | $609 | $1047 | $2264 |

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund is currently a feeder fund that invests substantially all of its assets in a master portfolio, the Government Cash Management Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), a separate registered investment company managed by DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. ("DIMA") with a comparable investment objective. The Portfolio is a money market fund that is managed in accordance with federal regulations that govern the quality, maturity, diversity and liquidity of instruments in which a money market fund may invest.

The Fund follows policies designed to maintain a stable $1.00 share price. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit, nor is it insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. While the Fund seeks to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, there is no guarantee that the Fund will do so. The Fund's Trustees may withdraw its assets from the Portfolio if they believe doing so is in the Fund shareholders' best interests.

The Portfolio operates as a "government money market fund," as such term is defined under federal regulations. As a government money market fund, the Portfolio is required to invest at least 99.5% of its total assets at the time of investment in cash, U.S. government securities, and/or repurchase agreements that are collateralized by these instruments.

The Portfolio primarily invests in the following types of investments:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●U.S. Treasury bills, notes, bonds and other obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Repurchase agreements backed by these instruments. In a repurchase agreement, the Portfolio buys securities at one price with a simultaneous agreement to sell back the securities at a future date at an agreed-upon price.

The Portfolio may invest in floating and variable rate instruments (obligations that do not bear interest at fixed rates).

Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio invests at least 80% of net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in U.S. government securities and/or repurchase

------

**TICKERS :: Investor Class MPIXX :: Service Class MPSXX :: 5**

agreements that are collateralized by U.S. government securities. The Portfolio considers repurchase agreements with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to be U.S. government securities.

Working in consultation with DIMA's portfolio management, DIMA's credit team screens potential securities and develops a list of those that the Portfolio may buy. DIMA's portfolio management, looking for attractive yield and weighing considerations such as credit quality, economic outlooks and possible interest rate movements, then decides which securities on this list to buy.

References to investments by the Fund may refer to actions undertaken by the Portfolio. The Portfolio may accept investments from other feeder funds. Each feeder fund bears the Portfolio's expenses in proportion to its investments in the Portfolio. Each feeder fund can set its own fund-specific expenses, transaction minimums and other requirements.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Principal Risks**

Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Fund's sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the Fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the Fund at any time.

The Fund is exposed to the risk factors below through the Portfolio, which invests directly in the individual securities. References to the investment strategies and risks of the "Fund" herein should also be understood to refer to the investment strategies and risks of the Portfolio unless the context requires otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Money Market Fund Risk** — The share price of money market funds can fall below the $1.00 share price. You should not rely on or expect ProFund Advisors or DIMA to enter into support agreements or take other actions to maintain the Fund's $1.00 share price. The credit quality of the Portfolio's holdings can change rapidly in certain markets, and the default of a single holding could have an adverse impact on the Fund's or the Portfolio's share price. The Fund's or the Portfolio's share price can also be negatively affected during periods of high redemption pressures and/or illiquid markets. The actions of a few large investors in the Portfolio and/or Fund may have a significant adverse effect on the share price of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Credit Risk** — The Fund's performance could be hurt and the Fund's share price could fall below $1.00 if an issuer of a debt security suffers an adverse change in financial condition that results in the issuer not making timely payments of interest or principal, a security downgrade or an inability to make a financial obligation. Some securities issued by U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities are backed by the

full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Other securities that are supported only by the credit of the issuing agency or instrumentality are subject to greater credit risk than securities backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. This is because the U.S. Government might provide financial support, but has no obligation to do so, if there is a potential or actual loss of principal or failure to make interest payments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**U.S. Government Default Risk** — Due to the rising U.S. government debt burden and potential limitations caused by the statutory debt ceiling, it is possible that the U.S. government may not be able to meet its financial obligations or that securities issued by the U.S. government may experience credit downgrades. In the past, U.S. sovereign credit has experienced downgrades and there can be no guarantee that it will not experience further downgrades in the future by rating agencies. Such a credit event may adversely impact the financial markets and the fund. From time to time, uncertainty regarding the status of negotiations in the U.S. government to increase the statutory debt ceiling and/or failure to increase the statutory debt ceiling could increase the risk that the U.S. government may default on payments on certain U.S. government securities, cause the credit rating of the U.S. government to be downgraded or increase volatility in financial markets, result in higher interest rates, reduce prices of U.S. Treasury securities and/or increase the costs of certain kinds of debt.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Interest Rate Risk** — Rising interest rates could cause the value of the Fund's investments — and therefore its share price as well — to decline. A rising interest rate environment may cause investors to move out of fixed-income securities and related markets on a large scale, which could adversely affect the price and liquidity of such securities and could also result in increased redemptions from the Fund. Increased redemptions from the Fund may force the Fund to sell investments at a time when it is not advantageous to do so, which could result in losses. A sharp rise in interest rates could cause the value of the Fund's investment to decline and impair the Fund's ability to maintain a stable $1.00 share price. Conversely, any decline in interest rates is likely to cause the Fund's yield to decline, and during periods of unusually low or negative interest rates, the Fund's yield may approach or fall below zero. A low or negative interest rate environment may prevent the Fund from providing a positive yield or paying fund expenses out of current income and, at times, could impair the Fund's ability to maintain a stable $1.00 share price. Over time, the total return of a money market fund may not keep pace with inflation, which could result in a net loss of purchasing power for long-term investors. Interest rates can change in response to the supply and demand for credit, government and/or central bank monetary policy and action, inflation rates, and other factors. Changes in monetary policy made by central banks or governments are likely to affect the level of interest rates. Changing interest rates may

------

**6 :: TICKERS :: Investor Class MPIXX :: Service Class MPSXX**

have unpredictable effects on markets, may result in heightened market volatility and potential illiquidity and may detract from fund performance to the extent the Fund is exposed to such interest rates and/or volatility. Money market funds try to minimize interest rate risk by purchasing short-term securities. If there is an insufficient supply of U.S. government securities to meet investor demand, it could result in lower yields on such securities and increase interest rate risk for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Counterparty Risk** — A financial institution or other counterparty with whom the fund does business, or that underwrites, distributes or guarantees any investments or contracts that the fund owns or is otherwise exposed to, may decline in financial health and become unable to honor its commitments. This could cause losses for the fund or could delay the return or delivery of collateral or other assets to the fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Master/Feeder Risk** — While the master/feeder structure is designed to reduce costs, it may not do so, and the Fund might encounter operational or other complications. For example, large-scale redemptions by other feeder funds, if any, of their shares in the Portfolio could have adverse effects on the Fund, such as requiring the liquidation of a substantial portion of the Portfolio's holdings at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so. Also, other feeder funds of the Portfolio, if any, may have a greater ownership interest in the Portfolio than the Fund's interest, and, therefore, could have effective voting control over the operation of the Portfolio.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Prepayment and Extension Risk** — When a bond issuer, such as an issuer of asset-backed securities, retains the right to pay off a high-yielding bond before it comes due, the Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds at lower interest rates. Thus, prepayment may reduce the Fund's income. When interest rates fall, issuers of high interest debt obligations may pay off the debts earlier than expected (prepayment risk), and the Portfolio may have to reinvest the proceeds at lower yields. When interest rates rise, issuers of lower interest debt obligations may have the right to pay off the debts later than expected (extension risk), thus keeping the Fund's assets tied up in lower interest debt obligations. Ultimately, any changes or unexpected behavior in interest rates could increase the volatility of the Fund's yield and could hurt fund performance. Prepayments could also create capital gains tax liability in some instances.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Risks of Holding Cash** — The Fund will at times hold cash positions, which may hurt the Fund's performance. Cash positions may also subject the Fund to additional risks and costs including any fees imposed by the Fund's custodian for large cash balances.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Repurchase Agreement Risk** — If the party that sells the securities to the Portfolio defaults on its obligation to repurchase them at the agreed-upon time and price, the Portfolio could lose money.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Security Selection Risk** — While the Fund invests in short-term securities, which by nature should be relatively stable investments, it is possible that the securities in which the Fund invests will not perform as expected. This could cause the Fund's yield to lag behind those of similar money market funds and could result in a decline in share price.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Liquidity Risk** — In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the financial instruments in which the Fund invests, the Fund might not be able to acquire or dispose of certain holdings quickly or at prices that represent true market value in the judgment of ProFund Advisors. Markets for the financial instruments in which the Fund invests may be disrupted by a number of events, including but not limited to economic crises, health crises, natural disasters, excessive volatility, new legislation, or regulatory changes inside or outside of the U.S. For example, regulation limiting the ability of certain financial institutions to invest in certain financial instruments would likely reduce the liquidity of those securities. An inability to sell one or more portfolio securities can adversely affect the Fund's ability to maintain a $1.00 share price or prevent the Fund from being able to take advantage of other investment opportunities. Unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests or other similar conditions could cause the Fund to be unable to pay redemption proceeds within a short period of time. If the Fund is forced to sell securities at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, such sales may adversely affect the Fund's ability to maintain a $1.00 share price.

Certain shareholders may from time to time own or control a significant percentage of the Fund's shares. These shareholders may include, for example, institutional investors and other shareholders whose buy-sell decisions are controlled by a single decision maker. Redemptions by these shareholders, or a high volume of redemption requests generally, may further increase the Fund's liquidity risk and may impact the Fund's ability to maintain a $1.00 share price.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Market Risk** — The Fund is subject to market risks that will affect the value of its shares, including adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market or economic developments, as well as developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Active Investor Risk** —The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. This may have a negative impact on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the Fund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus. In addition, this will increase portfolio turnover and may result in additional costs for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Operational and Technology Risk** — The Fund and Portfolio and the entities with which they interact directly or indirectly,

------

**TICKERS :: Investor Class MPIXX :: Service Class MPSXX :: 7**

including the Fund's or Portfolio's service providers and counterparties, issuers of securities held by the Fund or Portfolio and other market participants, are susceptible to operational and technology risks, including those related to human errors, processing errors, communication errors, system failures, cybersecurity incidents, and the use of artificial intelligence, among others, which may impair the Fund's or Portfolio's operations and/or result in losses for the Fund or the Portfolio, and may cause investors in the Fund or Portfolio to lose money.

Please see "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks" in the Fund's Prospectus for additional details.

**Investment Results**

The bar chart below shows how the Fund's investment results for Investor Class shares have varied from year to year, and the table shows the Fund's average annual total returns for various periods. Performance for Service Class shares would differ to the extent their fees and expenses differ. This information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. In addition, the Fund's performance information reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any, in effect during the periods presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. Past results (before and after taxes) are not predictive of future results. Updated information on the Fund's results can be obtained by visiting the Fund's website (www.profunds.com).

Prior to May 2, 2016, the Fund operated as a prime money market fund that had the ability to invest in certain types of securities that the Fund is no longer permitted to hold to any significant extent (i.e., over 0.5% of total assets). Consequently, the performance information below may have been different if the Fund's current investment limitations had been in effect

during the period prior to the Fund's conversion to a government money market fund.

**Management**

The Fund is advised by ProFund Advisors. The Fund currently seeks its investment objective by investing substantially all of its assets in the Portfolio managed by DIMA. ProFund Advisors is not paid any investment advisory fee unless the master-feeder relationship with the Portfolio is terminated and ProFund Advisors directly invests the assets of the Fund.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares**

The **minimum initial investment** amounts for all classes, which may be waived at the discretion of the Fund, are:

● $5,000 for accounts that list a financial professional.

● $15,000 for self-directed accounts.

You may purchase, redeem or exchange Fund shares on any day which the New York Stock Exchange is open for business. Depending on where your account is held, you may redeem your shares by contacting your financial professional or the Fund by mail, telephone, wire transfer or on-line (www.profunds.com).

**Tax Information**

The Fund's distributions generally are taxable, and will be taxed as ordinary income, qualified dividend income or capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account. You may be taxed later upon withdrawal of monies from such tax-advantaged arrangements. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, monthly, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.

**Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries**

If you purchase Fund shares through a financial intermediary, such as a broker-dealer or investment adviser, the Fund and its distributor may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other financial intermediary to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your financial intermediary or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.

The Fund's investment objective is non-fundamental, meaning it may be changed by the Board of Trustees ("Board"), without the approval of Fund shareholders.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund pursues its investment objective through a "master feeder" arrangement. The Fund invests substantially all of its assets in the Government Cash Management Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), a separate registered investment company managed by DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. ("DIMA") with a comparable investment objective and comparable investment strategies to those of the Fund. References to investments by the Fund may refer to actions undertaken by the Portfolio.

The Portfolio is a money market fund that is managed in accordance with federal regulations that govern the quality, maturity, diversity and liquidity of instruments in which a money market fund may invest.

The Portfolio operates as a "government money market fund," as such term is defined under federal regulations. As a government money market fund, the Portfolio is required to invest at least 99.5% of its total assets at the time of investment in cash, U.S. government securities, and/or repurchase agreements that are collateralized by these instruments. The Fund follows policies designed to seek to maintain a stable $1.00 share price:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Portfolio securities are denominated in U.S. dollars and, at the time of purchase, have remaining maturities of 397 days (about 13 months) or less, or have certain maturity shortening features (such as interest rate resets and demand features) that have the effect of reducing their maturities to 397 days or less.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●The Portfolio maintains a dollar-weighted average maturity of (i) 60 days or less and (ii) 120 days or less determined without regard to interest rate resets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●The Portfolio maintains certain minimum liquidity standards such that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○the Portfolio may not purchase a security other than a security offering daily liquidity if, immediately after purchase, the Portfolio would have invested less than 25% of its total assets in securities offering daily liquidity (includes securities that mature or are subject to demand within one business day, cash or direct U.S. government obligations);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○the Portfolio may not purchase a security other than a security offering weekly liquidity if, immediately after purchase, the Portfolio would have invested less than 50%

of its total assets in securities offering weekly liquidity (includes securities that mature or are subject to demand within five business days, cash, direct U.S. government obligations and government agency discount notes with remaining maturities of 60 days or less); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;○the Portfolio may not purchase an illiquid security if, immediately after purchase, the Portfolio would have invested more than 5% of its total assets in illiquid securities (securities that cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the market value ascribed to them by the Portfolio).

The Portfolio primarily invests in the following types of investments:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●U.S. Treasury bills, notes, bonds and other obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Repurchase agreements backed by the instruments described immediately above. In a repurchase agreement, the Portfolio buys securities at one price with a simultaneous agreement to sell back the securities at a future date at an agreed-upon price.

The Portfolio may invest in floating and variable rate instruments (obligations that do not bear interest at fixed rates).

Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio invests at least 80% of net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in U.S. government securities and/or repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. government securities. The Portfolio considers repurchase agreements with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to be U.S. government securities.

Working in consultation with DIMA's portfolio management, DIMA's credit team screens potential securities and develops a list of those that the Portfolio may buy. DIMA's portfolio management, looking for attractive yield and weighing considerations such as credit quality, economic outlooks and possible interest rate movements, then decides which securities on this list to buy.

DIMA's portfolio management may adjust the Portfolio's exposure to interest rate risk, typically seeking to take advantage of possible rises in interest rates and to preserve yield when interest rates appear likely to fall.

While the Fund does not intend to impose a liquidity fee in connection with the implementation of federal regulations relating to money market funds, the Fund may elect to do so in the future.

Shareholders of the Fund (which may include affiliated and/or non-affiliated registered investment companies that invest in the Fund) may make relatively large redemptions or purchases of Fund shares. These transactions may cause the Fund to have to sell securities or invest additional cash, as the case may be. While it is impossible to predict the overall impact of these transactions

------

**Investment Objective, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks :: 11**

over time, there could be adverse effects on the Fund's performance to the extent that the Fund may be required to sell securities or invest cash at times when it would not otherwise do so. These transactions could adversely impact the Fund's liquidity, accelerate the recognition of taxable income if sales of securities resulted in capital gains or other income and increase transaction costs, which may adversely affect the Fund's performance. These transactions could also adversely impact the Fund's ability to implement its investment strategies and pursue its investment objective, and, as a result, a larger portion of the Fund's assets may be held in cash or cash equivalents. In addition, large redemptions could significantly reduce the Fund's assets, which may result in an increase in the Fund's expense ratio on account of expenses being spread over a smaller asset base and/or the loss of fee breakpoints.

**Additional Information Regarding Principal Risks**

Investing in the Fund entails risks. The factors most likely to have a significant impact on the Fund's returns, and therefore the value of an investment in the Fund, are called "principal risks." The principal risks for the Fund are described in the Fund's Summary Prospectus. The Fund is exposed to these risks through its investment in the Portfolio, which invests directly in the individual securities. The Fund may be subject to risks in addition to those identified as principal risks.

The Statement of Additional Information ("SAI") contains more information about the Fund's investment strategies and related risks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Cybersecurity Risk** — With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet, artificial intelligence technologies and the dependence on computer systems to perform necessary business functions, the Fund, financial intermediaries, service providers and the relevant listing exchange are susceptible to operational, information security and related "cyber" risks. In general, cyber incidents can result from deliberate attacks or unintentional events. Cyber attacks include, but are not limited to gaining unauthorized access to digital systems for purposes of misappropriating assets or sensitive information, corrupting data, or causing operational disruption. Cyber attacks may also be carried out in a manner that does not require gaining unauthorized access, such as causing among other behaviors, stealing or corrupting data maintained online or digitally, and denial of service attacks on websites. Cybersecurity failures or breaches of the Fund's third party service provider (including, but not limited to, index providers, the administrator and transfer agent) or the issuers of securities and/or financial instruments in which the Fund invests, have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, the inability of Fund shareholders to transact business, violations of applicable privacy and other laws. For instance, cyber attacks may interfere with the processing of shareholder transactions, impact the Fund's ability to calculate its NAV, cause the release of private shareholder information or

confidential Fund information, impede trading, cause reputational damage, and subject the Fund to regulatory fines, penalties or financial losses, reimbursement or other compensation costs, and/or additional compliance costs. In addition, substantial costs may be incurred in order to prevent any cyber incidents in the future. The Fund and its shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result. While the Fund or its service providers may have established business continuity plans and systems designed to guard against such cyber attacks or adverse effects of such attacks, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems including the possibility that certain risks have not been identified, in large part because different unknown threats may emerge in the future. Similar types of cybersecurity risks also are present for issuers of securities in which the Fund invests, which could result in material adverse consequences for such issuers, and may cause the Fund's investments in such securities to lose value. In addition, cyber attacks involving a counterparty to the Fund could affect such a counterparty's ability to meets it obligations to the Fund, which may result in losses to the Fund and its shareholders. ProFund Advisors and the Trust do not control the cybersecurity plans and systems, including artificial intelligence, put in place by third party service providers, and such third party service providers may have no or limited indemnification obligations to ProFund Advisors or the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Risk of Global Economic Shock** — Economic, financial, public health, labor and other global market developments and disruptions, including public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics, natural or environmental disasters, war and other armed conflicts, terrorism, social unrest, recessions, inflation, rapid interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions, governmental or quasi-governmental actions (including sanctions and other similar measures) and other circumstances in one country or region have been and may continue to be highly disruptive to economies and markets. Health crises could exacerbate political, social, and economic risks, and result in breakdowns, delays, shutdowns, social isolation, civil unrest, periods of high unemployment, shortages in and disruptions to the medical care and consumer goods and services industries, and other disruptions to important global, local and regional supply chains, with potential corresponding results on the performance of the Fund and its investments.

Additionally, wars, military conflicts, sanctions, acts of terrorism, sustained elevated inflation, supply chain issues, the institution of tariffs or other trade barriers, or other events could have a significant negative impact on global financial markets and economies. Ongoing trade disputes between the United States and other countries may lead to tariffs and investment restrictions, negatively impacting affected companies and their securities. These disputes can also harm the economies of the United States and its trading partners, as well as financial markets overall. Russia's military incursions in

------

**12 :: Investment Objective, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks**

Ukraine have led to, and may lead to additional sanctions being levied by the United States, European Union and other countries against Russia. The ongoing hostilities between the two countries could result in additional widespread conflict and could have a severe adverse effect on the region and certain markets. Sanctions on Russian exports could have a significant adverse impact on the Russian economy and related markets and could affect the value of the Fund's investments, even beyond any direct exposure the Fund may have to the region or to adjoining geographic regions. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could have a severe adverse effect on the region, including significant negative impacts on the economy and the markets for certain securities and commodities, such as oil and natural gas. Furthermore, the possibility of a prolonged conflict between Hamas and Israel, and the potential expansion of the conflict in the surrounding areas and the involvement of other nations in such conflict, such as the Houthi movement's attacks on marine vessels in the Red Sea, could further destabilize the Middle East region and introduce new uncertainties in global markets, including the oil and natural gas markets. How long such tensions and related events will last cannot be predicted. These tensions and any related events could have significant impact on the Fund performance and the value of an investment in the Fund.

Ongoing geopolitical events, such as the U.S. and Israel military action against Iran that began in February 2026 and Iran's responses thereto, including attacks on marine vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. military operation in Venezuela that started in January 2026, the Israel-Hamas conflict, including the Houthi movement's attacks on marine vessels in the Red Sea, and Russia's continued military actions against Ukraine that began in February 2022 and the U.S. responses to may continue to have, an impact on certain commodities markets, particularly the market for crude oil, commodity futures markets, including futures on crude oil. For example, historically, Russia has been a significant global exporter of crude oil. The front end of the crude oil futures curve was flat for most of 2025. Crude oil prices were flat during 2025, but have spiked in the first quarter of 2026 due to conflict in the Middle East and the resulting negative impacts on energy infrastructure. While a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas was reached in January 2025, there is no guarantee that the parties will continue to comply with the terms of the agreement and the agreement does not mean the conflict will be resolved. For example, there have been reports of the possible resumption of Houthi-led attacks on marine vessels in the Red Sea as a result of the U.S. and Israel military action against Iran. The possibility of a continued and prolonged conflict between the U.S. and Israel against Iran, the U.S. military operation in Venezuela and the Israel-Hamas conflict, and the potential expansion of those conflicts in the surrounding areas and the involvement of other nations in

such conflict, could further destabilize the respective regions and introduce new uncertainties in global markets, including the crude oil markets. This may increase or decrease volatility of the Fund's shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Risks of Government Regulation** —The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") issued a notice on March 8, 2022 seeking comment on measures that could prevent or restrict investors from buying a broad range of public securities designated as "complex products" — which could include the leveraged and inverse funds offered by ProFund Advisors. The ultimate impact, if any, of these measures remains unclear. However, if regulations are adopted, they could, among other things, prevent or restrict investors' ability to buy the funds.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●**Natural Disaster/Epidemic Risk** — Natural or environmental disasters, such as earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis and other severe weather-related phenomena generally, and widespread disease, including pandemics and epidemics (for example, COVID-19), have been and can be highly disruptive to economies and markets and have recently led, and may continue to lead, to increased market volatility and significant market losses. Such natural disaster and health crises could exacerbate political, social, and economic risks, and result in significant breakdowns, delays, shutdowns, social isolation, and other disruptions to important global, local and regional supply chains affected, with potential corresponding results on the operating performance of the Fund and its investments. A climate of uncertainty and panic, including the contagion of infectious viruses or diseases, may adversely affect global, regional, and local economies and reduce the availability of potential investment opportunities, and increases the difficulty of performing due diligence and modeling market conditions, potentially reducing the accuracy of financial projections. Under these circumstances, the Fund may have difficulty achieving its investment objectives which may adversely impact Fund performance. Further, such events can be highly disruptive to economies and markets, significantly disrupt the operations of individual companies (including, but not limited to, the Fund's investment advisor, third party service providers, and counterparties), sectors, industries, markets, securities and commodity exchanges, currencies, interest and inflation rates, credit ratings, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of the Fund's investments. These factors can cause substantial market volatility, exchange trading suspensions and closures, changes in the availability of and the margin requirements for certain instruments, and can impact the ability of the Fund to complete redemptions and otherwise affect Fund performance and Fund trading in the secondary market. A widespread crisis would also affect the global economy in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. How long such events will last and whether they will continue or recur cannot be predicted. Impacts from these events could

have a significant impact on the Fund's performance, resulting in losses to your investment.

**Portfolio Holdings Information**

A description of the Fund's policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of the Fund's portfolio securities is available in the Fund's SAI and on the Fund's website at ProFunds.com.

**Board of Trustees and Officers**

The Board is responsible for the general supervision of the Fund. The officers of the Trust are responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Fund.

**Investment Advisor**

ProFund Advisors, located at 7272 Wisconsin Avenue, 21<sup>st</sup> Floor, Bethesda, Maryland 20814, serves as the investment adviser to the Fund and provides investment advice and management services to the Fund. ProFund Advisors oversees the investment and reinvestment of the assets in the Fund. For its investment advisory services, ProFund Advisors is entitled to receive annual fees equal to 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Fund, although no fee is payable under the agreement unless the master-feeder relationship with the Portfolio is terminated and ProFund Advisors directly invests the assets of the Fund.

A discussion regarding the basis for the Board approving the investment advisory agreement for the Fund is in the Trust's most recent Form N-CSR dated December 31, 2025, or most recent Form N-CSRS dated June 30, 2025, as may be amended. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Fund did not pay any fees to ProFund Advisors under the investment advisory agreement.

**Portfolio Management**

DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc.

The Fund currently pursues its investment objective through a "master-feeder" arrangement. The Fund invests substantially all of its assets in the Government Cash Management Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), a separate registered investment company, managed by DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. ("DIMA"), with headquarters at 875 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10022. Under the oversight of the Board of Trustees of the Portfolio, DIMA makes the Portfolio's investment decisions, buys and sells securities for the Portfolio and conducts research that leads to these purchase and sale decisions.

DIMA is entitled to receive from the Portfolio a management fee, calculated daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.1200% on the first $3 billion of the Portfolio's average daily net assets, 0.1025% on the next $4.5 billion and 0.0900% thereafter. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Portfolio paid DIMA investment advisory fees equal to 0.074% (reflecting the effects of expense limitations and/or fee waivers then in effect for the Portfolio) of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. In addition, the Portfolio has a separate administrative services agreement with DIMA pursuant to which the Portfolio pays DIMA a fee of 0.03% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets for certain administrative services. The administrative services fees discussed above are included in the fees and expenses table under "Other Expenses."

DIMA is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of DWS Group GmbH & Co. KGaA ("DWS Group"), a separate, publicly-listed financial services firm that is an indirect, majority-owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG. DIMA and its predecessors have

more than 95 years of experience managing mutual funds and provide a full range of global investment advisory services to institutional and retail clients.

DWS represents the asset management activities conducted by DWS Group or any of its subsidiaries, including DIMA. DWS is a global organization that offers a wide range of investing expertise and resources, including hundreds of portfolio managers and analysts and an office network that reaches the world's major investment centers. This well-resourced global investment platform brings together a wide variety of experience and investment insight across industries, regions, asset classes and investing styles.

DIMA may utilize the resources of its global investment platform to provide investment management services through branch offices or affiliates located outside the U.S. In some cases, DIMA may also utilize its branch offices or affiliates located in the U.S. or outside the U.S. to perform certain services, such as trade execution, trade matching and settlement, or various administrative, back-office or other services. To the extent services are performed outside the U.S., such activity may be subject to both U.S. and foreign regulation. It is possible that the jurisdiction in which DIMA or its affiliate performs such services may impose restrictions or limitations on portfolio transactions that are different from, and in addition to, those that apply in the U.S.

**Multi-Manager Structure.** DIMA, subject to the approval of the Portfolio's Board, has ultimate responsibility to oversee any subadvisor to the Portfolio and to recommend the hiring, termination and replacement of subadvisors. Each DWS feeder fund, including the Portfolio, and DIMA have received an order from the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") that permits DIMA to appoint or replace certain subadvisors, to manage all or a portion of the Portfolio's assets and enter into, amend or terminate a subadvisory agreement with certain subadvisors, in each case subject to the approval of the Portfolio's Board but without obtaining shareholder approval ("multi-manager structure"). The multi-manager structure applies to subadvisors that are not affiliated with the Portfolio or DIMA ("nonaffiliated subadvisors"), as well as subadvisors that are indirect or direct, wholly-owned subsidiaries of DIMA or that are indirect or direct, wholly-owned subsidiaries of the same company that, indirectly or directly, wholly-owns DIMA ("wholly-owned subadvisors"). Pursuant to the SEC order, DIMA, with the approval of the Portfolio's Board, has the discretion to terminate any subadvisor and allocate and reallocate the Portfolio's assets among any other nonaffiliated subadvisors or wholly-owned subadvisors (including terminating a nonaffiliated subadvisor and replacing it with a wholly-owned subadvisor). The Portfolio and DIMA are subject to the conditions imposed by the SEC order, including the condition that within 90 days of hiring a new subadvisor pursuant to the multi-manager structure, the Portfolio will provide shareholders with an information statement containing information about the new subadvisor. The shareholders of the Portfolio have approved

------

**16 :: Fund Management**

the multi-manager structure described herein. For so long as the Fund is a "feeder fund," it will not engage any subadvisor other than through the Portfolio's engagement of a subadvisor.

**Other Service Providers**

ProFunds Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), located at 7272 Wisconsin Avenue, 21<sup>st</sup> Floor, Bethesda, Maryland 20814, acts as the distributor of Fund shares and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ProFund Advisors. Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC ("Ultimus"), located at 225 Pictoria Drive, Suite 450, Cincinnati, Ohio 45246, acts as the administrator to the Fund, providing operations, compliance and administrative services. FIS Investor Services LLC ("FIS"), located at 4249 Easton Way, Suite 400, Columbus, Ohio 43219, acts as transfer agent for the Fund, maintaining shareholder account records for the Fund, distributing distributions payable by the Fund, and producing statements with respect to account activity for the Fund and their shareholders.

ProFund Advisors also performs certain management services for the Government Money Market ProFund under a Management Services Agreement, including client support, other administrative services, and feeder fund management, administration and reporting. For these services, ProFund Advisors is entitled to receive fees paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.35% of the Fund's average daily net assets. During the year ended December 31, 2025, ProFund Advisors received fees

equal to 0.407% of the average daily net assets of the Fund for client support and administrative services, and for feeder fund management, administration and reporting with respect to the Fund's relationship to the Portfolio. The amount shown reflects recoupment of a fee waiver. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Advisor recouped prior expenses reimbursed by the Advisor in the amount of $109,785. The Advisor has contractually undertaken to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to maintain the minimum yield floor limit at 0.02% through April 30, 2027 ("Minimum Yield"). ProFund Advisors has also contractually agreed to waive Investment Advisory and Management Services Fees and to reimburse Other Expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 0.98% for Investor Class shares and 1.98% for Service Class shares through April 30, 2027. After such date, the expense limitation may be terminated or revised by ProFund Advisors. The Advisor may, under certain circumstances, recoup any fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed within three years after the end of the fiscal year of such waiver and/or reimbursement to the extent that such recoupment would not cause the Fund's net yield to fall below the Fund's previously determined Minimum Yield or the expenses to exceed the overall expense ratio limit in effect at the time of the waiver and/or reimbursement. The recoupment could negatively affect the Fund's yield and expenses in the future.

**Determination of NAV**

The price at which you purchase, redeem and exchange shares is the NAV per share next determined after your transaction request is received by the transfer agent in good order (i.e., required forms are complete and, in the case of a purchase, correct payment is received). The Fund calculates its NAV by taking the value of the assets attributed to the class, subtracting any liabilities attributed to the class, and dividing that amount by the number of that class' outstanding shares.

Government Money Market ProFund uses the amortized cost method to value its assets pursuant to procedures adopted by ProFunds' Board of Trustees. This method does not reflect daily fluctuations in market value. Each class is expected to remain at a constant $1.00 NAV per share, although there is no assurance that this will be maintained.

The Fund normally calculates its daily share price for each class of shares as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on each day the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open for business except for any day during which the relevant bond markets are closed and the NYSE is open (currently expected to be Columbus Day and Veterans Day), but sometimes earlier when the NYSE closes early, as in the case of scheduled half-day trading, shortened trading hours due to emergency circumstances or unscheduled suspensions of trading.

To the extent the Fund's portfolio investments trade in markets on days when the Fund is not open for business, the value of the Fund's assets may vary on those days. In addition, trading in certain portfolio investments may not occur on days the Fund is open for business. If the NYSE closes early, the NAV may be calculated at the close of regular trading or its normal calculation time. If the exchange or market on which the Fund's underlying investments are primarily traded closes early, the NAV may be calculated prior to its normal calculation time.

**NYSE Holiday Schedule:**The NYSE is open every week, Monday through Friday, except when the following holidays are celebrated: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day (the third Monday in January), Washington's Birthday (observed), Good Friday, Memorial Day (the last Monday in May), Juneteenth National Independence Day, Independence Day, Labor Day (the first Monday in September), Thanksgiving Day (the fourth Thursday in November) and Christmas Day. Exchange holiday schedules are subject to change without notice.

The NYSE will close early (1:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on the day before Independence Day and on the day after Thanksgiving Day.

**Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association's ("SIFMA") Proposed Close and Early Close Schedule:** On the following days in 2026 and 2027 SIFMA has recommended that the U.S. bond markets close: January 1, 2026, January 19, 2026, February 16, 2026, May 25, 2026, June 19, 2026, July 3, 2026, September 7, 2026, October 12, 2026, November 11, 2026, November 26, 2026, December 25, 2026, January 1, 2027, January 18, 2027, February 15, 2027, March 26, 2027, May 31, 2027, June 18, 2027, July 5, 2027, September 6, 2027,

October 11, 2027, November 11, 2027, November 25, 2027 and December 24, 2027. SIFMA has recommended that the U.S. bond markets close early at 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on April 3, 2026, July 2, 2026, November 27, 2026, December 24, 2026 and December 31, 2026, March 25, 2027, May 28, 2027, July 2, 2027, November 26, 2027, December 23, 2027 and December 31, 2027.

The Fund may cease taking transaction requests, including requests to exchange to or from other funds managed by ProFund Advisors or affiliates of ProFund Advisors on such days, at times other than the normal cut-off time. See "Transaction Cut-Off Times" in the Shareholder Services Guide in this Prospectus for more details.

**Form of Redemption Proceeds**

You may receive redemption proceeds of your sale of shares of the Fund in a check, Automated Clearing House ("ACH"), or federal wire transfer. The Funds typically expect that it will take one to three days following the receipt of your redemption request made in "good order" to pay out redemption proceeds; however, while not expected, payment of redemption proceeds may take up to seven days. The Fund maintains a cash balance that serves as a primary source of liquidity for meeting redemption requests. The Funds may also use the proceeds from the sale of portfolio securities to meet redemption requests if consistent with the management of the Fund. The Funds reserve the right to redeem in-kind. Each of these redemption methods may be used regularly and in stressed market conditions in conformity with applicable rules of the SEC.

**Distributions**

**Government Money Market ProFund** intends to declare and distribute to its shareholders all of the year's net investment income and net capital gains, if any, as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Dividends** | **Dividends** | **Capital Gains** |
| Accrued | Paid | Paid |
| Daily | Monthly | Annually+ |

+ ProFunds does not announce dividend distribution dates in advance.

˃may declare additional capital gains distributions during a year.

˃reserves the right to include in a dividend any short-term capital gains on securities that it sells.

˃will reinvest distributions in additional shares of Government Money Market ProFund unless a shareholder has written to request distributions in cash (by check, wire or Automated Clearing House ("ACH")).

By selecting the distribution by check or wire option, a shareholder agrees to the following conditions:

˃If a shareholder elects to receive distributions by check or wire, Government Money Market ProFund will, nonetheless, automatically reinvest such distributions in additional shares

------

**General Information :: 19**

of the Fund if they are $10 or less (and payable by check) or $25 or less (and payable by wire). A shareholder may elect to receive distributions via ACH or reinvest such distribution in shares of another series of ProFunds (each, a "ProFund") regardless of amount.

˃Any dividend or distribution check, which has been returned to ProFunds, or has remained uncashed for a period of six months from the issuance date, will be cancelled, and the funds will be reinvested (net of any bank charges) on the date of cancellation into the appropriate class of the ProFund from which such distribution was paid or, if the account is closed or only Government Money Market ProFund is open, the funds will be reinvested into Government Money Market ProFund; and

˃Any account on which a dividend or distribution check was returned or remained uncashed for a period of six months will automatically have the dividend and distribution payment election adjusted so that all future dividends or distributions are reinvested into the appropriate class of the ProFund from which such dividend or distribution would have been paid, unless subsequent distribution checks have been cashed.

**Earning Dividends**

˃Government Money Market ProFund shares begin to earn dividends on the day ProFunds' transfer agent receives a federal funds wire payment for a purchase in good order. Government Money Market ProFund may revise its policies, postpone the payment of dividends and interest or take other actions in order to maintain a constant NAV of $1.00 per share.

˃Government Money Market ProFund shares purchased by check begin to earn dividends the first business day following the day the check is received in good order by Government Money Market ProFund's transfer agent. Shares purchased in an exchange transaction begin earning dividends the day after the exchange is processed.

˃Shares continue to earn dividends through the business day that ProFunds' transfer agent has processed a redemption of those shares.

**Taxes**

The following information is a general summary for U.S. taxpayers. The discussion below addresses only the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Fund and does not address any non-U.S., state or local tax consequences. Please see "Taxation" in the SAI for more information.

˃The Fund has elected and intends to qualify and to be treated each year as a regulated investment company (a "RIC") under Subchapter M of the Code. A RIC generally is not subject to federal income tax on income and gains distributed in a timely manner to its shareholders. To qualify for treatment as a RIC, the Fund must meet certain tests with respect to the sources and types of its income, the nature and diversification

of its assets, and the timing and amount of its distributions to shareholders.

˃Because the Fund invests all of its assets in the Portfolio, which is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the amount and character of the Fund's income, gains, losses, deductions and other tax items for each taxable year generally is determined at the Portfolio level. The Fund is required to take into account its share of the Portfolio's income, gains, losses, deductions and other tax items for each taxable year substantially as though such items had been realized directly by the Fund and without regard to whether the Portfolio distributes any cash to the Fund.

˃The Fund expects to distribute all or substantially all of its net investment income and capital gains to shareholders every year. Shareholders will generally be subject to tax on the Fund's distributions regardless of whether they receive cash or choose to have the distributions and dividends reinvested.

˃Distributions of investment income are generally taxed to a shareholder as ordinary income.

˃Whether a distribution of capital gains by the Fund is taxable to shareholders as ordinary income or capital gains depends on how long the Portfolio owned (or is treated as having owned) the investments generating the distribution, not on how long an investor has owned shares of the Fund. Distributions of capital gains from investments owned (or treated as owned) by the Portfolio for more than 12 months and that are properly reported by the Fund as capital gain dividends will be treated as long-term capital gains includible in a shareholder's net capital gain and taxed to individuals at reduced rates. Distributions of capital gains from investments owned (or treated as owned) by the Portfolio for 12 months or less will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income. The Fund does not expect a significant portion of its distributions to be taxable as long-term capital gains.

˃Distributions of investment income reported by the Fund as derived from "qualified dividend income" will be taxed in the hands of individuals at the rates applicable to long-term capital gains, provided that holding period and other requirements are met at both the shareholder and the Fund level. The Fund does not expect a significant portion of its distributions to be derived from or reported as qualified dividend income.

˃Dividends declared by the Fund in October, November or December of one year and paid in January of the next year are generally taxable to shareholders in the calendar year in which the distributions are declared, rather than the calendar year in which the distributions are received.

˃If shareholders redeem their Fund shares, assuming a shareholder holds Fund shares as capital assets, they may have a capital gain or loss, which will be long-term or short-term depending upon how long they have held the shares. Net

------

**20 :: General Information**

gains resulting from redemptions or sales of shares held for more than one year generally are taxed at long-term capital gain rates while those resulting from redemptions or sales of shares held for one year or less generally are taxed at ordinary income rates. It is not expected that any gain or loss will be realized in respect of Fund shares because of the Fund's policy to maintain its net asset value at a constant $1.00 per share.

˃If shareholders exchange shares of the Fund for shares of another ProFund, this will be treated as a sale of the Fund's shares and any gain on the transaction will generally be subject to federal income tax.

˃Distributions by the Fund to retirement plans that qualify for tax-advantaged treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws and net gains on the redemption or sale of ProFund shares by such plans will generally not be taxable. Special tax rules apply to investments through such plans. You should consult your tax advisor to determine the suitability of the Fund as an investment through such a plan and the tax treatment of distributions (including distributions of amounts attributable to an investment in the Fund) from such a plan.

˃The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), generally imposes a 3.8% tax on the "net investment income" of certain individuals, trusts, and estates to the extent income exceeds certain threshold amounts. Net investment income generally includes for this purpose dividends paid by the Fund, including any capital gain dividends, and net gains, if any, recognized on the sale, redemption or exchange of shares of the Fund. Shareholders are advised to consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of this additional tax on their investment in the Fund.

˃Income and gains from the Portfolio's investments in securities of foreign issuers, if any, may be subject to withholding or other taxes. In such cases, the yield on those securities would decrease. Shareholders generally will not be able to claim a credit or deduction with respect to such foreign taxes. In addition, investments by the Portfolio in foreign securities or foreign currencies may increase or accelerate the Fund's recognition of ordinary income and may affect the timing or amount of the Fund's distributions.

˃The Fund is required to withhold U.S. federal income tax from all taxable distributions and redemption proceeds payable to shareholders who fail to provide the Fund with correct taxpayer identification numbers or to make required certifications, or who have been notified by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") that they are subject to backup

withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax; rather, it is a way in which the IRS ensures it will collect taxes otherwise due. Any amounts withheld may be credited against the shareholder's U.S. federal income tax liability.

˃Dividends paid to a shareholder that is not a "United States person" within the meaning of the Code (such a shareholder, a "foreign person") that a Fund properly reports as capital gain dividends, short-term capital gain dividends or interest-related dividends, each as further defined in the SAI, are not subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax, provided that certain other requirements are met. The Fund (or intermediary, as applicable) is permitted, but is not required, to report any part of its dividends as are eligible for such treatment. The Fund's dividends other than those the Fund properly reports as capital gain dividends, short-term capital gain dividends or interest-related dividends generally will be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or lower applicable treaty rate). Special tax considerations may apply to foreign persons investing in the Fund. Please see the SAI for more information.

Because each shareholder's tax circumstances are unique and because the tax laws are subject to change, ProFunds recommends that shareholders consult their own tax advisors about the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of an investment in the Fund.

**Contractual Arrangement**

The Trust enters into contractual arrangements with various parties, including, among others, the Advisor, administrator, custodian, transfer agent, and Distributor, who provide services to the Fund. Shareholders are not parties to, or intended (or "third party") beneficiaries of, any of these contractual arrangements, and those contractual arrangements are not intended to create in any individual shareholder or group of shareholders and right to enforce them against the service providers or to seek any remedy under them against the service providers, either directly or on behalf of the Trust.

This Prospectus provides information concerning the Trust and the Fund that you should consider in determining whether to purchase shares of the Fund. None of this Prospectus, the SAI or any contract that is an exhibit to the Trust's registration statements, is intended to, nor does it, give rise to an agreement or contract between the Trust or the Fund and any investor, or give rise to any contract or other rights in any individual shareholder, group of shareholders or other person than any rights conferred explicitly by federal or state securities laws that may not be waived.

**ProFunds Accounts** 

To open a mutual fund account, you will need to complete a New Account Form. You should also read the relevant prospectus carefully prior to opening your account. Contact ProFunds to request a New Account Form or download a New Account Form from ProFunds' website. For guidelines to help you complete the Form, see the instructions below. You may also open certain new accounts online. Go to (www.profunds.com), select "Open Account" and follow the instructions. Please note that new accounts opened online must be funded by check or wire purchase.

**Retirement Plan Accounts** 

Several types of Individual Retirement Accounts ("IRAs") are available. Please visit (www.profunds.com) or contact ProFunds for a retirement plan account application. The IRA custodian charges an annual fee of $15 per social security number for all types of IRAs. The annual fee may be waived in certain circumstances. Other types of retirement accounts, such as profit sharing, money purchase and 401(k) accounts may be established; however, ProFunds does not sponsor these plans nor does ProFunds provide retirement reporting for these types of plans.

**Accounts through Financial Professionals** 

Contact your financial professional for information on opening an account to invest in ProFunds.

**Completing Your New Account Form** 

˃You must provide each account holder's social security number or tax identification number and date of birth on the New Account Form.

˃Attach the trust documents when establishing a trust account. Contact ProFunds for specific requirements.

˃When establishing an account for your corporation, partnership or self-directed retirement plan, please check the appropriate box to indicate the correct account type to ensure proper tax reporting, and provide a certified corporate resolution or other documentation evidencing your authority to open the account and engage in transactions.

˃You must provide a street address (ProFunds does not accept P.O. Box-only addresses, but APO and FPO Armed Forces mailing addresses are acceptable). If account holders have different addresses, each address must be provided.

˃You must designate the ProFund(s) to which your initial investment will be directed or the investment will be made in Government Money Market ProFund.

˃Be sure all parties named on the account sign the New Account Form.

Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person or entity who opens an account. Some or all of the information provided will

------

**26 :: Shareholder Services Guide**

be used by ProFunds and/or its agents to verify the identity of the persons opening an account. If this information is not provided, ProFunds may not be able to open your account. Accounts may be restricted or closed, and monies withheld, pending verification of this information or as otherwise required under federal regulations. You may be asked to provide additional information to verify your identity consistent with the requirements under anti-money laundering regulations. In addition, transaction orders, including orders for purchases, exchanges and redemptions may be suspended, restricted, canceled or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.

**Purchasing Shares** 

You have the option to send purchase orders by mail or Internet and to send purchase proceeds by check, ACH or wire. Initial purchases via ACH are not accepted. All purchases must be made in U.S. dollars drawn on a U.S. bank. Cash, starter checks, Internet-based checks, credit cards, travelers' checks, money orders and credit card checks are not accepted. Third-party checks are generally not accepted to open an account.

Each ProFund prices shares you purchase at the price per share next computed after it (or an authorized financial intermediary) receives your purchase request in good order. To be in good order, a purchase request must include a wire or check or the processing of an ACH initiated (as applicable) by stated cut-off times, and for new accounts, a properly completed New Account Form. ProFunds cannot accept wire or ACH purchases on bank holidays. ProFunds and ProFunds Distributors, Inc. may reject any purchase request for any reason.

**Important Information You Should Know When You Purchase Shares:** 

˃Instructions, written or by telephone, given to ProFunds for wire transfer requests do not constitute a transaction request received in "good order" until the wire transfer has been received by ProFunds. A wire purchase will be considered in good order if (i) you have completed and faxed a New Account Form; (ii) you have contacted ProFunds and received a confirmation number, and (iii) ProFunds receives and accepts your wire during ProFunds wire processing times noted in the chart under "Transaction Cut-Off Times."

˃Although ProFunds does not charge for wire receipt, your bank may charge a fee to send wires. Please be sure that the wire is sufficient to cover your purchase and any such bank fees.

˃Any New Account Form, check or wire order received that does not designate a specific ProFund will be used to purchase shares (i) in the ProFund in your existing account if you have an investment in only one ProFund, or (ii) in Investor Class or Service Class Shares, as applicable, of the Government Money Market ProFund, if you are initially opening an account or have more than one ProFund investment. Neither ProFunds nor ProFunds Distributors, Inc. will be responsible for investment opportunities lost as a result of investments being directed to Government Money

Market ProFund, to an existing active ProFund account. ProFunds is not responsible for transfer errors by sending or receiving bank and will not be liable for any loss incurred due to a wire transfer or ACH not having been received. If the check, ACH or wire cannot be identified, it may be returned or rejected. Checks submitted to ProFunds will be automatically deposited upon receipt at our administrative office in Columbus, Ohio.

˃If it is determined that account information is not in good order, any amount deposited will be refunded by check no earlier than ten business days from receipt of such payment to allow adequate time for the original check to clear through the banking system.

˃ProFunds will ordinarily cancel your purchase order if your bank does not honor your check or ACH for any reason, or your wire transfer is not received by the designated cut-off time. If your purchase transaction is cancelled, you will be responsible for any losses that may result from any decline in the value of the cancelled purchase. ProFunds (or its agents) have the authority to redeem shares in your account(s) to cover any losses. Any profit on a cancelled transaction will accrue to the applicable ProFund.

˃ProFunds may reject or cancel any purchase orders for any reason.

˃The minimum for initial purchases may be waived in certain circumstances.

**Exchanging Shares** 

Shareholders can, free of charge and without a limit on frequency or maximum amount, exchange Investor or Service Class Shares of any publicly available ProFund for Investor or Service Class Shares, respectively, of another publicly available series of ProFunds that offers such shares as long as the shareholder's account meets the minimum initial investment requirements of the ProFund into which the shareholder is exchanging. Exchange requests, like any other share transaction, are subject to ProFunds transaction cut-off times described under "Transaction Cut-Off Times."

ProFunds will need the following information to process your exchange:

˃the account number applicable to the exchange transaction request;

˃the number of shares, percentage, or dollar value of the shares you wish to exchange; and

˃the share class and name of the ProFund you are exchanging from and the share class and name of the ProFund you are exchanging into.

Please note that the transaction cut-off times of one Fund may differ from those of another Fund. In an exchange between funds with different cut-off times, you will receive the price next computed after the exchange request is made for both the redemption and the purchase transactions involved in the

------

**Shareholder Services Guide :: 27**

exchange. You will be responsible for any losses if sufficient redemption proceeds are not available to pay the purchase price of shares purchased. Please consult the prospectus of the Fund into which you are exchanging for the applicable cut-off times. Contact an Authorized Financial Professional to initiate an exchange. You can perform exchanges by mail, phone and online at (www.profunds.com).

**Important Information You Should Know When You Exchange Shares:** 

˃An exchange involves redeeming shares of one fund and purchasing shares of another fund. Exchanges are taxable transactions. Exchanges within a retirement account may not be taxable. Please contact your tax advisor for more information.

˃If your account does not meet the minimum initial investment requirements of the ProFund you are exchanging into, your exchange will be treated as a redemption from the ProFund you are exchanging from and a purchase that was not in good order of the ProFund you wish to exchange into. Consequently, the proceeds from the redemption will be used to purchase Investor Class or Service Class Shares, as applicable, of the Government Money Market ProFund. Neither ProFunds nor ProFunds Distributors, Inc. will be responsible for investment opportunities lost as a result of investments being directed to Government Money Market ProFund.

˃ProFunds can only honor exchanges between accounts registered in the same name and having the same address and taxpayer identification number.

˃None of ProFunds, ProFunds Distributors, Inc. or the ProFunds' transfer agent is required to verify that there is a sufficient balance in the account to cover the exchange. You will be responsible for any loss if there are insufficient funds available to cover the exchange due to insufficient shares or due to a decline in the value of the ProFund from which you are exchanging.

˃The redemption and purchase will be processed at the next calculated NAVs of the respective ProFund after the Fund has received your exchange request in good order.

˃The exchange privilege may be modified or discontinued at any time.

˃Before exchanging into a ProFund, please read such fund's prospectus.

˃Financial intermediaries may have their own rules about exchanges or transfers and may impose limits on the number of such transactions you are permitted to make during a given time period.

**Redeeming Shares** 

You may redeem all or part of your shares at the NAV next determined after your redemption request is received in good order. Only the registered owner(s) of the account or persons

authorized in writing by the registered owner(s) may redeem shares.

ProFunds will need the following information to process your redemption request:

˃name(s) of account owners;

˃account number(s);

˃the name of the ProFund(s);

˃your daytime telephone number;

˃the dollar amount, percentage or number of shares being redeemed; and

˃how you would like to receive your redemption proceeds (see options below). Unless otherwise requested, your redemption proceeds will be sent by check to the registered account owner's address of record by U.S. mail.

You may receive your redemption proceeds:

**By Check:** Normally, redemption proceeds will be sent by check to the address listed on the account. ProFunds may charge a fee associated with overnight mailings or Saturday delivery of redemption proceeds.

**By Wire:** You may have your redemption proceeds wired directly into a designated bank account by establishing a wire redemption option on your account. ProFunds may charge a $10 service fee for a wire transfer of redemption proceeds under certain circumstances, and your bank may charge an additional fee to receive the wire. If you would like to establish this option on an existing account, please call ProFunds.

**By ACH:** You may have your redemption proceeds sent to your bank account via ACH by establishing this option on your account. Funds sent through ACH should reach your bank in approximately two business days. While there is no fee charged by ProFunds for this service, your bank may charge a fee. If you would like to establish this option on an existing account, please call ProFunds.

**Important Information You Should Know When You Sell Shares:** 

˃ProFund shareholders automatically have telephone redemption privileges unless they elect not to have these privileges on the New Account Form. Redemptions requested via telephone must be made payable to the name on the account and sent to the address or bank account listed on the account.

˃To redeem shares from a retirement account, you may make this request in writing by completing an IRA Distribution Request Form. In certain cases, distributions may be requested via telephone with proceeds sent to the address or bank on record on the account. Financial professionals may not request a redemption from an IRA on your behalf. You should consult a tax advisor before redeeming shares and making distributions from your tax qualified account because doing

------

**28 :: Shareholder Services Guide**

so may have adverse tax consequences for you. Call ProFunds to request an IRA Distribution Request Form or download the form from the ProFunds' website, (www.profunds.com).

˃If you request that redemption proceeds be sent to a bank account or an address other than the bank account or address you have previously established on your ProFunds account, you must make the request in writing. The signatures of all registered owners must be guaranteed (see "Signature Guarantees").

˃If you are selling some, but not all, of your shares, your remaining account balance should be above the minimum investment amount to keep your ProFund position open.

˃ProFunds normally remits redemption proceeds within seven days of redemption. For redemption of shares purchased by check, ACH or through ProFunds' automatic investment plan, ProFunds may wait up to 10 business days before sending redemption proceeds to ensure that its transfer agent has collected the original purchase payment.

˃Your right of redemption may be suspended, or the date of payment postponed for any period during which: (i) the NYSE or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is closed (other than customary weekend or holiday closings); (ii) trading on the NYSE, or other securities exchanges or markets as appropriate, is restricted, as determined by the SEC; (iii) an emergency exists, as determined by the SEC; or (iv) for such other periods as the SEC, by order, may permit for protection of ProFunds' investors. Proceeds cannot be sent by wire or ACH on bank holidays.

**Additional Shareholder Information** 

Account Minimums

Account minimums apply to all initial investments with ProFunds, including retirement plans, and apply to the total initial value of an account. These minimums may be different for investments made through certain financial intermediaries. In addition, ProFunds reserves the right to modify its minimum account requirements at any time with or without prior notice.

ProFunds reserves the right to involuntarily redeem an investor's account, including a retirement account, if the account holder's aggregate account balance falls below the applicable minimum initial investment amount due to transaction activity. You will be given at least 30 days' notice to reestablish the minimum balance if your ProFund balance falls below the applicable account minimum. If you do not increase your balance during the notice period, the ProFund may sell all of your shares and send the proceeds to you. Your shares will be sold at the NAV on the day your ProFund position is closed.

**Transaction Cut-Off Times** 

All shareholder transaction orders are processed at the NAV next determined after your transaction order is received in good order by ProFunds' transfer agent, distributor, or financial intermediary designated by the ProFunds as an authorized agent.

Transaction orders in ProFund accounts must be received in good order by the ProFunds' transfer agent or distributor before the cut-off times detailed in the table below to be processed at that business day's NAV. A completed New Account Form does not constitute a purchase order until the transfer agent deems it to be in good order, processes the New Account Form and receives correct payment by check or wire transfer on any business day prior to the designated cut-off time. Trades placed via telephone must be initiated (i.e., the call must be received and in queue) by the cut-off time and communicated in good order by the close of the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time). When the NYSE closes early, all cut-off times are adjusted for the early close. When the bond markets close early, the cut-off times for the U.S. Government Plus ProFund, Rising Rates Opportunity 10 ProFund and Rising Rates Opportunity ProFund, Access Flex Bear High Yield ProFund, and Access Flex High Yield ProFund are adjusted for the early close. Certain financial intermediaries may impose cut-off times different from those described below.

**About Telephone and Internet Transactions** 

Telephone and Internet transactions, whether initiated by a shareholder or a shareholder's agent, are extremely convenient but are not free from risk. None of ProFunds, ProFunds

------

**Shareholder Services Guide :: 29**

Distributors, Inc. nor ProFunds' agents will be responsible for any losses resulting from unauthorized telephone or Internet transactions if reasonable security procedures are followed. Telephone conversations may be recorded or monitored for verification, recordkeeping and quality-assurance purposes. For transactions over the Internet, we recommend the use of a secure internet browser. In addition, you should verify the accuracy of your confirmation statements immediately upon receipt. If you do not want the ability to initiate transactions by telephone or Internet, call ProFunds for instructions.

During periods of heavy market activity or other times, it may be difficult to reach ProFunds by telephone or to transact business over the Internet. Technological irregularities may also make the use of the Internet slow or unavailable at times. If you are unable to reach us by telephone or unable to transact business over the Internet, consider sending written instructions.

The ProFunds may terminate the receipt of redemption or exchange orders by telephone or the Internet at any time, in which case you may redeem or exchange shares in writing.

**Exchanges or Redemptions in Excess of Share Balances** 

If you initiate exchange or redemption transactions that, in total, exceed the balance of your shares in a ProFund, some transactions may be processed while others may not. This may result in ProFund positions that you did not anticipate. None of ProFunds, ProFunds' transfer agent nor ProFunds Distributors, Inc. will be responsible for transactions that did not process in this circumstance. You may be liable for losses resulting from exchanges canceled due to insufficient balances.

**Signature Verification for Certain Transactions** 

Signature Guarantee Program — Financial Transactions

Certain redemption requests must include a signature guarantee if any of the following apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Your account address has changed within the last 10 business days;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●A check is being mailed to an address different than the one on your account;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●A check or wire is being made payable to someone other than the account owner;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Redemption proceeds are being transferred to an account with a different registration;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●A wire or ACH transfer is being sent to a financial institution other than the one that has been established on your ProFunds account; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●Other unusual situations as determined by ProFunds' transfer agent.

ProFunds reserves the right to waive signature guarantee requirements, require a signature guarantee under other circumstances or reject or delay a redemption if the signature guarantee is not in good form. Faxed signature guarantees are generally not accepted.

Signature guarantees may be provided by an eligible financial institution such as a commercial bank, a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA") member firm such as a stock broker, a savings association or a national securities exchange. A notary public cannot provide a signature guarantee. ProFunds reserves the right to reject a signature guarantee if it is not provided by a STAMP 2000 Medallion guarantor.

**Signature Validation Program — Non-Financial Transactions** 

The Fund may require a Signature Validation Program ("SVP") stamp or a Signature Guarantee stamp for certain non-financial transactions. The SVP is intended to provide validation of authorized signatures for those transactions considered non-financial (i.e., do not involve the sale, redemption or transfer of securities). The purpose of the SVP stamp on a document is to authenticate your signature and to confirm that you have the authority to provide the instructions in the document. This stamp may be obtained from eligible members of a Medallion Signature Guarantee Program (see above) or other eligible guarantor institutions in accordance with SVP.

Eligible guarantor institutions generally include banks, broker/dealers, credit unions, members of national securities exchanges, registered securities associations, clearing agencies and savings associations. You should verify with the institution that they are an eligible guarantor institution prior to signing. A notary public cannot provide an SVP stamp.

**Uncashed Redemption Check** 

Generally, redemption checks which have been returned to ProFunds, or have remained uncashed for a period of six months from the issuance date, will be deposited into the shareholder's account in the Government Money Market ProFund.

**Frequent Purchases and Redemptions of ProFund Shares** 

It is the general policy of ProFunds to permit frequent purchases and redemptions of ProFund shares. The ProFunds impose no restrictions and charge no redemption fees to prevent or minimize frequent purchases and redemptions of ProFund shares other than a $10 wire fee under certain circumstances. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Policy, ProFunds may reject any purchase request for any reason.

As noted under "Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks — Other Principal Risks — Active Investor Risk," frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares could increase the rate of portfolio turnover. A high level of portfolio turnover may negatively affect performance by

------

**30 :: Shareholder Services Guide**

increasing transaction costs and generating greater tax liabilities for shareholders. In addition, large movements of assets into and out of a ProFund may negatively affect a ProFund's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, a ProFund's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus.

**Additional Shareholder Services** 

Automatic Investment Plans (AIP) and Systematic Withdrawal Plans (SWP)

Shareholders may purchase and/or redeem shares automatically on a monthly, bimonthly, quarterly or annual basis. You may sign up for these services on the New Account Form, or you may download or request an Account Options Form to add these services to an existing account. Requests to add an Automatic Investment Plan (AIP) to an account should be received in good order at least three business days prior to the first date in which the AIP is to run.

Account Statements and Confirmations

Shareholders with ProFund accounts will receive quarterly ProFund statements showing the market value of their ProFund account at the close of the statement period in addition to any transaction information for the period. Shareholders will also receive transaction confirmations for most Fund transactions. Shareholders should review their account statements and confirmations as soon as they are received. You may also receive statements and confirmations electronically. See "Electronic Document Delivery Program — PaperFree™."

Tax Statements

Each year, ProFunds will send tax information to assist you in preparing your income tax returns. These statements will report the previous year's dividend and capital gains distributions, proceeds from the sales of shares, and distributions from, and contributions to, IRAs and other retirement plans.

Cost Basis

**Shares purchased on or after January 1, 2012:** The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 included tax reporting rules that change the information ProFunds reports on Form 1099-B for mutual fund shares purchased on or after January 1, 2012, and subsequently sold. The law expands the information reported to the IRS and to shareholders to include the adjusted cost basis, whether any gain or loss is short- or long-term, and whether any loss is disallowed by the wash sale rules.

Generally, the rules apply to those accounts that currently receive Form 1099-B tax reporting, such as individual, joint, partnership and Uniform Gifts to Minors Act/Uniform Transfers to Minors Act registrations. S Corporations are also covered by the new rules. Accounts held by retirement accounts and C Corporations are not subject to the new reporting requirements.

For shares purchased on or after January 1, 2012, investors who purchase shares directly from ProFunds have the opportunity to choose which method ProFunds uses to calculate cost basis or to use the ProFunds default method — **Average Cost**. ProFunds will use the Average Cost method if a shareholder does not instruct it to use an alternate method. Investors should consult a qualified tax advisor to determine the method most suitable for their situation. For shares purchased through a financial intermediary, the intermediary's default method will apply in the absence of an election by the investor to use a different method. Investors that purchase shares through a financial intermediary should consult their intermediary for information regarding available methods and how to select or change a particular method.

Electronic Document Delivery Program — PaperFree™

You may elect to receive your account statements and confirmations electronically through PaperFree™, ProFunds' electronic document delivery service. You may also choose to receive your ProFunds Prospectus, shareholder reports, and other documents electronically. To enroll for this service, please register on ProFunds' website. You may elect the PaperFree™ service by completing the appropriate section on the New Account Form. ProFunds will then send you a link to the enrollment site.

**Financial Intermediaries** 

Certain financial intermediaries may accept purchase and redemption orders on ProFunds' behalf. Such purchase and redemption orders will be deemed to have been received by ProFunds at the time an authorized financial intermediary accepts the orders. Your financial intermediary has the responsibility to transmit your orders and payment promptly and may specify transaction order cut-off times and different share transaction policies and limitations, including limitations on the number of exchanges, than those described in this Prospectus. In addition, the financial intermediary may impose additional restrictions or charge fees not described in this Prospectus. Furthermore, such financial intermediaries are authorized to designate other intermediaries to receive purchase and redemption orders on a ProFund's behalf. If your order and payment is not received from your financial intermediary timely, your order may be cancelled and the financial intermediary could be liable for resulting fees or losses. Although the ProFunds may effect portfolio transactions through broker dealers who sell Fund shares, ProFunds does not consider the sale of ProFund shares as a factor when selecting broker dealers to effect portfolio transactions.

Investor Class Shares and Service Class Shares bear fees payable to certain intermediaries or financial institutions for provision of recordkeeping, sub-accounting services, transfer agency and other administrative services. The expenses paid by each ProFund are included in "Other Expenses" under "Annual Fund Operating Expenses" in this Prospectus.

**Shareholder Services Guide :: 31**

**Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees** 

Under Rule 12b-1 Distribution and Shareholder Services Plans (the "Plans") adopted by the Trustees and administered by ProFunds Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), each ProFund may pay the Distributor, financial intermediaries, such as broker-dealers and investment advisers, up to 1.00% on an annualized basis of the average daily net assets attributable to Service Class Shares and with respect to the Crypto ProFunds only, up to 0.25% on an annualized basis of the average daily net asset attributable to Investor Class Shares as reimbursement or compensation for service and distribution related activities with respect to the Fund and/or shareholder services. Over time, fees paid under the Plans will increase the cost of a shareholder's investment and may cost more than other types of sales charges. With respect to the Crypto ProFunds, no payments have yet been authorized by the Board, nor are any such expected to be made by the Fund under the Plan during the current fiscal year.

**Payments to Financial Firms** 

ProFund Advisors or other service providers may utilize their own resources to finance distribution or service activities on behalf of the ProFunds, including compensating the Distributor and other third parties, including financial firms, for distribution-related activities or the provision of shareholder services. These payments are not reflected in the fees and expenses section of the fee table for the ProFunds contained in this Prospectus.

A financial firm is one that, in exchange for compensation, sells, among other products, mutual fund shares (including the shares offered in this Prospectus) or provides services for mutual fund shareholders. Financial firms include registered investment advisers, brokers, dealers, insurance companies and banks. In addition to the payments described above, the Distributor and ProFund Advisors from time to time provide other incentives to selected financial firms as compensation for services (including preferential services) such as, without limitation, paying for active asset allocation services provided to investors in the ProFunds, providing the ProFunds with "shelf space" or a higher profile for the financial firms' financial consultants and their customers, placing the ProFunds on the financial firms' preferred or recommended fund list, granting the Distributor or ProFund Advisors access to the financial firms' financial consultants, providing assistance in training and educating the financial firms' personnel, and furnishing marketing support and other specified services. These payments may be significant to the financial firms and may also take the form of sponsorship of seminars or informational meetings or payment for

attendance by persons associated with the financial firms at seminars or informational meetings.

A number of factors will be considered in determining the amount of these additional payments to financial firms. On some occasions, such payments may be conditioned upon levels of sales, including the sale of a specified minimum dollar amount of the shares of a ProFund, all other ProFunds, other funds sponsored by ProFund Advisors and/or a particular class of shares, during a specified period of time. The Distributor and ProFund Advisors may also make payments to one or more participating financial firms based upon factors such as the amount of assets a financial firm's clients have invested in the ProFunds and the quality of the financial firm's relationship with the Distributor or ProFund Advisors. The additional payments described above are made at the Distributor's or ProFund Advisors' expense, as applicable. These payments may be made at the discretion of the Distributor or ProFund Advisors to some of the financial firms that have sold the greatest amounts of shares of the ProFunds. In certain cases, the payments described in the preceding sentence may be subject to certain minimum payment levels.

Representatives of the Distributor and ProFund Advisors visit financial firms on a regular basis to educate financial advisors about the ProFunds and to encourage the sale of ProFund shares to their clients. The costs and expenses associated with these efforts may include travel, lodging, sponsorship at educational seminars and conferences, entertainment and meals to the extent permitted by law and Rules of FINRA.

If investment advisers, distributors or affiliates of mutual funds other than ProFunds make payments (including, without limitation, sub-transfer agency fees, platform fees, bonuses and incentives) in differing amounts, financial firms and their financial consultants may have financial incentives for recommending a particular mutual fund (including ProFunds) over other mutual funds. In addition, depending on the arrangements in place at any particular time, a financial firm and its financial consultants may also have a financial incentive for recommending a particular share class over other share classes. **You should consult your financial advisor and review carefully any disclosure by the financial firm as to compensation received by that firm and/or your financial advisor.** 

For further details about payments made by the Distributor or ProFund Advisors to financial firms, please see the SAI.

**Financial Highlights**

The following tables are intended to help you understand the financial history of the Fund for the past five years (or since inception, if shorter). Certain information reflects financial results of a single share. The total return information represents the rate of return and the per share operating performance that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in the Fund, assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. This information has been derived from information audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, whose report, along with the financial statements of the Fund, is included in the Trust's filing on Form N-CSR for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as may be amended, and is available upon request.

The Funds listed above are each referred to as a "Fund" and collectively as the "Funds".

A Fund may be used by professional money managers and investors as part of an asset-allocation or market-timing investment strategy, to create specified investment exposure to a particular segment of the financial market or to attempt to hedge an existing investment portfolio. A Fund may be used independently or in combination with each other as part of an overall investment strategy. Because of the risks inherent in any investment, there can be no assurance that a Fund's investment objectives will be achieved. No Fund alone constitutes a balanced investment plan.

Investment in a Fund that seeks daily investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond to the performance of a daily benchmark involves special risks, some of which are not traditionally associated with mutual funds. Investors should carefully review and evaluate these risks in considering an investment in such a Fund to determine whether an investment is appropriate. Such a Fund is not intended for investors whose principal objective is current income or preservation of capital.

This SAI is not a prospectus. It should be read in conjunction with each Fund's Prospectus, dated April 30, 2026 (the "Prospectus"), which incorporates this SAI by reference. The financial statements and notes thereto are included in the Trust's [Form N-CSR](https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0001039803/000110465926024572/tm261671d1_ncsr.htm) filing for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as

**GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE TRUST**

The Trust is an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust on April 17, 1997. The Trust is composed of multiple separate series. Fifty-one series are discussed herein and other series may be added in the future.

Each Fund, other than the Diversified Funds, is classified as non-diversified. Portfolio management is provided to each Fund by the Advisor. The investments made by a Fund and the results achieved by a Fund at any given time are not expected to be the same as those of other mutual funds for which the Advisor acts as investment adviser, including mutual funds with names, investment objectives and policies similar to those of each Fund.

Reference is made to the Prospectus for a discussion of the investment objectives and policies of each Fund. Set forth below is further information relating to each Fund, which supplements and should be read in conjunction with the Prospectus. "Shareholders" as used in this SAI refers generally to the participating insurance companies and their separate accounts and to the qualified pension or retirement plans that invest in a Fund, but can also refer to owners of variable contracts funded by such separate accounts, or to participants in such plans, depending on context.

The investment restrictions of a Fund specifically identified as fundamental policies may not be changed without the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the outstanding voting securities of that Fund, as defined in the 1940 Act. The investment objectives and all other investment policies of each Fund not specified as fundamental (including the benchmarks of each Fund) may be changed by the Board without the approval of shareholders.

It is the policy of each Fund to pursue its investment objectives of correlating with their benchmarks regardless of market conditions, to attempt to remain nearly fully invested and not to take defensive positions.

The investment techniques and strategies of each Fund discussed below may be used by a Fund if, in the opinion of the Advisor, the techniques or strategies may be advantageous to the Fund. A Fund may reduce or eliminate its use of any of these techniques or strategies without changing the Fund's fundamental policies. There is no assurance that any of the techniques or strategies listed below, or any of the other methods of investment available to a Fund, will result in the achievement of the Fund's objectives. Also, there can be no assurance that a Fund will grow to, or maintain, an economically viable size, and management may determine to liquidate the Fund at any time, which time may not be an opportune one for shareholders.

The terms "favorable market conditions" and "adverse market conditions," as used in this SAI, are Fund-specific. Market conditions should be considered favorable to a Fund when such conditions make it more likely that the value of an investment in that Fund will increase. Market conditions should be considered adverse to a Fund when such conditions make it more likely that the value of an investment in that Fund will decrease.

**FUND NAME CHANGES**

Over the past five years, the following Funds have undergone name changes:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Prior Fund Name** | **Current Fund Name** | **Effective Date of**<br> **Name Change**<br>|

**INVESTMENT POLICIES, TECHNIQUES AND RELATED RISKS**

**GENERAL**

A Fund may consider changing its benchmark at any time, including if, for example: the current benchmark becomes unavailable, the Board believes that the current benchmark no longer serves the investment needs of a majority of shareholders or that another benchmark may better serve their needs, or the financial or economic environment makes it difficult for such Fund's investment results to correspond sufficiently to its current benchmark. If believed appropriate, a Fund may specify a benchmark for itself that is "leveraged" or proprietary. There can be no assurance that a Fund will achieve its investment objective. As noted in the Prospectus, the component companies of the index for Europe 30 ProFund and the Asia 30 ProFund are set forth in Appendix D and E, respectively, to this SAI.

In seeking to achieve each Fund's investment objective (except for ProFund Access VP High Yield and ProFund VP Government Money Market), the Advisor uses a mathematical approach to investing and to determine the investments a Fund makes and techniques it employs. While the Advisor attempts to minimize any "tracking error," certain factors tend to cause a Fund's investment results to vary from a perfect correlation to its benchmark. See "Special Considerations" below for additional details.

For purposes of this SAI, the word "invest" refers to a Fund directly and indirectly investing in securities or other instruments. Similarly, when used in this SAI, the word "investment" refers to a Fund's direct and indirect investments in securities and other instruments. For example, Funds may often invest indirectly in securities or instruments by using financial instruments with economic exposure similar to those securities or instruments.

Additional information concerning a Fund, its investment policies and techniques, and the securities and financial instruments in which it may invest is set forth below.

**NAME POLICIES**

Each Rule 35d-1 Fund is subject to a policy adopted pursuant to Rule 35d-1 under the 1940 Act (the so-called "names rule") and commits to invest at least 80% of its assets (i.e., net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes), under normal circumstances, in the types of securities suggested by its name and/or investments with similar economic characteristics. Such direct or inverse exposure may be obtained through direct investments/short positions in the securities and/or through investments with similar economic characteristics. For the purposes of each such investment policy, "assets" includes a Fund's net assets, as well as amounts borrowed for investment purposes, if any. In addition, for purposes of such an investment policy, "assets" includes not only the amount of a Fund's net assets attributable to investments providing direct investment exposure to the type of investments suggested by its name (*e.g.*, the value of stocks, or the value of derivative instruments such as futures, options or options on futures), but also cash and cash equivalents that are segregated on the Fund's books and records or being used as collateral, as required by applicable regulatory guidance, or otherwise available to cover such investment exposure. The Board has adopted a non-fundamental policy to provide investors with at least 60 days' notice prior to changes in a Fund's name policy.

**EQUITY SECURITIES (not applicable to the Non-Equity ProFunds VP and ProFund VP Government Money Market)**

A Fund may invest in equity securities. The market price of securities owned by a Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Securities may decline in value due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries represented in the securities markets. The value of a security may decline due to general market conditions not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, or adverse investor sentiment generally. A security's value may also decline due to factors that affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or increased production costs

------

and competitive conditions within an industry. The value of a security may also decline for a number of reasons that directly relate to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer's goods or services. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities, and a Fund is particularly sensitive to these market risks.

**DEBT INSTRUMENTS**

Below is a description of various types of money market instruments and other debt instruments that a Fund may utilize for investment purposes or for liquidity purposes. Other types of money market instruments and debt instruments may become available that are similar to those described below and in which a Fund also may invest consistent with their investment goals and policies. Each Fund may also invest in pooled investment vehicles that invest in, and themselves qualify as, money market instruments.

***Money Market Instruments***

To seek its investment objective, as a cash reserve, or for liquidity purposes each Fund may invest all or part of its assets in cash or cash equivalents, which include, but are not limited to, short-term money market instruments, U.S. government securities, floating and variable rate notes, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, time deposits, bankers' acceptances or repurchase agreements and other short-term liquid instruments secured by U.S. government securities. Each Fund may invest in money market instruments issued by foreign and domestic governments, financial institutions, corporations and other entities in the U.S. or in any foreign country. Each Fund may also invest in pooled investment vehicles that invest in, and themselves qualify as, money market instruments.

***U.S. Government Securities***

A Fund may invest in U.S. government securities in pursuit of its investment objective or for liquidity purposes.

U.S. government securities include U.S. Treasury securities, which are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury and which differ only in their interest rates, maturities, and times of issuance: U.S. Treasury bills, which have initial maturities of one year or less; U.S. Treasury notes, which have initial maturities of one to ten years; and U.S. Treasury bonds, which generally have initial maturities of greater than ten years. In addition, U.S. government securities include Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities ("TIPS"). TIPS are inflation-protected public obligations of the U.S. Treasury. These securities are designed to provide inflation protection to investors. TIPS are income generating instruments whose interest and principal payments are adjusted for inflation—a sustained increase in prices that erodes the purchasing power of money. The inflation adjustment, which is typically applied monthly to the principal of the bond, follows a designated inflation benchmark such as the Consumer Price Index. A fixed-coupon rate is applied to the inflation-adjusted principal so that as inflation rises, both the principal value and the interest payments increase. This can provide investors with a hedge against inflation, as it helps preserve the purchasing power of an investment. Because of the inflation-adjustment feature, inflation-protected bonds typically have lower yields than conventional fixed-rate bonds. In addition, TIPS decline in value when real interest rates rise. However, in certain interest rate environments, such as when real interest rates are rising faster than nominal interest rates, TIPS may experience greater losses than other fixed income securities with similar duration.

Certain U.S. government securities are issued or guaranteed by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. government including, but not limited to, obligations of U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities, such as the Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae" or "FNMA"), the Government National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Mae" or "GNMA"), the Small Business Administration, the Federal Farm Credit Administration, Federal Home Loan Banks, Banks for Cooperatives (including the Central Bank for Cooperatives), Federal Land Banks, Federal Intermediate Credit Banks, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Export-Import Bank of the United States, the Commodity Credit Corporation, the Federal Financing Bank, the Student Loan Marketing Association, the National Credit Union Administration and the Federal Agricultural

------

Mortgage Corporation. Some obligations issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities, including, for example, GNMA pass-through certificates, are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury. Other obligations issued by or guaranteed by federal agencies, such as those securities issued by FNMA, are supported by the discretionary authority of the U.S. government to purchase certain obligations of the federal agency but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, while other obligations issued by or guaranteed by federal agencies, such as those of the Federal Home Loan Banks, are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury. While the U.S. government provides financial support to such U.S. government-sponsored federal agencies and instrumentalities described above, no assurance can be given that the U.S. government will always do so, since the U.S. government is not so obligated by law. U.S. Treasury notes and bonds typically pay coupon interest semi-annually and repay the principal at maturity. All U.S. government securities are subject to credit risk.

Yields on U.S. government securities depend on a variety of factors, including the general conditions of the money and bond markets, the size of a particular offering, and the maturity of the obligation. Debt securities with longer maturities tend to produce higher yields and are generally subject to potentially greater capital appreciation and depreciation than obligations with shorter maturities and lower yields. The market value of U.S. government securities generally varies inversely with changes in market interest rates. An increase in interest rates, therefore, would generally reduce the market value of a Fund's portfolio investments in U.S. government securities, while a decline in interest rates would generally increase the market value of a Fund's portfolio investments in these securities.

From time to time, a high national debt or uncertainty regarding the status of negotiations in the U.S. government to increase the statutory debt ceiling or enact periodic legislation to fund the U.S. government could increase the risk that the U.S. government may default on payments on certain U.S. government securities, cause the credit rating of the U.S. government to be downgraded, increase volatility in the stock and bond markets, result in higher interest rates, reduce prices of U.S. Treasury securities, and/or increase the costs of various kinds of debt. If a U.S. government-sponsored entity is negatively impacted by legislative or regulatory action, is unable to meet its obligations, or its creditworthiness declines, the performance of a Fund that holds securities of the entity may be adversely impacted.

***Floating and Variable Rate Notes***

Floating and variable rate notes generally are unsecured obligations issued by financial institutions and other entities. They typically have a stated maturity of more than one year and an interest rate that changes either at specific intervals or whenever a benchmark rate changes. The effective maturity of each floating or variable rate note in a Fund's portfolio will be based on these periodic adjustments. The interest rate adjustments are designed to help stabilize the note's price. While this feature helps protect against a decline in the note's market price when interest rates rise, it lowers a Fund's income when interest rates fall. Of course, a Fund's income from its floating and variable rate investments also may increase if interest rates rise.

***Commercial Paper***

Commercial paper is a short-term unsecured promissory note issued by businesses such as banks, corporations, finance companies and other issuers generally to finance short-term credit needs. Issuers may use commercial paper to finance accounts receivable or to meet short-term liabilities. Commercial paper generally has a fixed maturity of no more than 270 days and may trade on secondary markets after its issuance.

***Financial Services Obligations* (not applicable to ProFund VP Government Money Market)**

Under normal market conditions, each Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in obligations issued by companies in the financial services industry, including U.S. banks, foreign banks, foreign branches of U.S. banks and U.S. branches of foreign banks. These obligations may include:

------

*Certificates of deposit ("CDs")* — CDs represent an obligation of a bank or a foreign branch of a bank to repay funds deposited with it for a specified period of time plus interest at a stated rate.

*Time deposits* — Time deposits are non-negotiable deposits held in a banking institution for a specified time at a stated interest rate.

***Convertible Securities* (not applicable to ProFund VP Government Money Market)**

Convertible securities may be considered high yield securities. Convertible securities include corporate bonds, notes and preferred stock that can be converted into or exchanged for a prescribed amount of common stock of the same or a different issue within a particular period of time at a specified price or formula. A convertible security entitles the holder to receive interest paid or accrued on debt or dividends paid on preferred stock until the convertible stock matures or is redeemed, converted or exchanged. While no securities investment is without some risk, investments in convertible securities generally entail less risk than the issuer's common stock, although the extent to which such risk is reduced depends in large measure upon the degree to which the convertible security sells above its value as a fixed income security. The market value of convertible securities tends to decline as interest rates increase and, conversely, to increase as interest rates decline. While convertible securities generally offer lower interest or dividend yields than nonconvertible debt securities of similar quality, they do enable the investor to benefit from increases in the market price of the underlying common stock.

***Collateralized Debt Obligations* (only applicable to ProFund Access VP High Yield)**

Collateralized debt obligations ("CDOs") include collateralized bond obligations ("CBOs"), collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs"), and other similarly structured securities. A typical CDO investment is a security that is backed by an underlying portfolio of debt obligations, typically including one or more of the following types of investments: high yield securities, investment grade securities, bank loans, futures, and swaps. The cash flows generated by the collateral are used to pay interest and principal. CDOs are structured into tranches, and the payments are allocated such that each tranche has a predictable cash flow stream and average life. The portfolio underlying the CDO security is subject to investment guidelines. However, a Fund cannot monitor the underlying obligations of the CDO, and is subject to the risk that the CDO's underlying obligations may not be authorized investments for the Fund.

In addition, a CDO is a derivative, and is subject to credit, liquidity, and interest rate risks, as well as volatility. The market value of the underlying securities at any time will vary, and may vary substantially from the price at which such underlying securities were initially purchased. The amount of proceeds received upon sale or disposition, or the amount received or recovered upon maturity, may not be sufficient to repay principal and interest to investors, which could result in losses to a fund. The securities issued by a CDO are not traded in organized exchange markets. Consequently, the liquidity of a CDO security is limited and there can be no assurance that a market will exist at the time that a fund sells the CDO security. CDO investments may also be subject to transfer restrictions that further limit the liquidity of the CDO security.

***Mortgage-Backed Securities* (not applicable to ProFund Access VP High Yield and ProFund VP Government Money Market)**

A mortgage-backed security is a type of pass-through security, which is a security representing pooled debt obligations repackaged as interests that pass income through an intermediary to investors. Each Fund may invest in mortgage-backed securities. In the case of mortgage-backed securities, the ownership interest is in a pool of mortgage loans.

Mortgage-backed securities are most commonly issued or guaranteed by GNMA, FNMA or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"), but may also be issued or guaranteed by other private issuers. GNMA is a government-owned corporation that is an agency of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. It guarantees, with the full faith and credit of the United States, full and timely payment of all monthly principal and interest on its mortgage-backed securities. FNMA is a publicly owned,

------

government-sponsored corporation that mostly packages mortgages backed by the Federal Housing Administration, but also sells some non-governmentally backed mortgages. Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest only by FNMA. The FHLMC is a publicly chartered agency that buys qualifying residential mortgages from lenders, re-packages them and provides certain guarantees. The corporation's stock is owned by savings institutions across the United States and is held in trust by the Federal Home Loan Bank System. Pass-through securities issued by the FHLMC are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest only by the FHLMC.

Mortgage-backed securities issued by private issuers, whether or not such obligations are subject to guarantees by the private issuer, may entail greater risk than obligations directly or indirectly guaranteed by the U.S. government. The average life of a mortgage-backed security is likely to be substantially shorter than the original maturity of the mortgage pools underlying the securities. Prepayments of principal by mortgagors and mortgage foreclosures will usually result in the return of the greater part of principal invested far in advance of the maturity of the mortgages in the pool.

Collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") are debt obligations collateralized by mortgage loans or mortgage pass-through securities (collateral collectively hereinafter referred to as "Mortgage Assets"). Multi-class pass-through securities are interests in a trust composed of Mortgage Assets and all references in this section to CMOs include multi-class pass-through securities. Principal prepayments on the Mortgage Assets may cause the CMOs to be retired substantially earlier than their stated maturities or final distribution dates, resulting in a loss of all or part of the premium if any has been paid. Interest is paid or accrues on all classes of the CMOs on a monthly, quarterly or semi-annual basis. The principal and interest payments on the Mortgage Assets may be allocated among the various classes of CMOs in several ways. Typically, payments of principal, including any prepayments, on the underlying mortgages are applied to the classes in the order of their respective stated maturities or final distribution dates, so that no payment of principal is made on CMOs of a class until all CMOs of other classes having earlier stated maturities or final distribution dates have been paid in full.

Stripped mortgage-backed securities ("SMBS") are derivative multi-class mortgage securities. Each Fund will only invest in SMBS that are obligations backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. SMBS are usually structured with two classes that receive different proportions of the interest and principal distributions from a pool of mortgage assets. A Fund will only invest in SMBS whose mortgage assets are U.S. government obligations. A common type of SMBS will be structured so that one class receives some of the interest and most of the principal from the mortgage assets, while the other class receives most of the interest and the remainder of the principal. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, each Fund may fail to fully recoup its initial investment in these securities. The market value of any class that consists primarily or entirely of principal payments generally is unusually volatile in response to changes in interest rates.

Investment in mortgage-backed securities poses several risks, including among others, prepayment, market and credit risk. Prepayment risk reflects the risk that borrowers may prepay their mortgages faster than expected, thereby affecting the investment's average life and perhaps its yield. Whether or not a mortgage loan is prepaid is almost entirely controlled by the borrower. Borrowers are most likely to exercise prepayment options at the time when it is least advantageous to investors, generally prepaying mortgages as interest rates fall, and slowing payments as interest rates rise. Besides the effect of prevailing interest rates, the rate of prepayment and refinancing of mortgages may also be affected by appreciation in home values, ease of the refinancing process and local economic conditions. Market risk reflects the risk that the price of a security may fluctuate over time. The price of mortgage-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to prevailing interest rates, the length of time the security is expected to be outstanding, and the liquidity of the issue. In a period of unstable interest rates, there may be decreased demand for certain types of mortgage-backed securities, and each Fund invested in such securities wishing to sell them may find it difficult to find a buyer, which may in turn decrease the price at which they may be sold. Credit risk reflects the risk that a Fund may not receive all or part of its principal because the issuer or credit enhancer has defaulted on its obligations. Obligations issued by U.S. government-related entities are guaranteed as to the payment of

------

principal and interest, but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. The performance of private label mortgage-backed securities, issued by private institutions, is based on the financial health of those institutions. With respect to GNMA certificates, although GNMA guarantees timely payment even if homeowners delay or default, tracking the "pass-through" payments may, at times, be difficult.

***Other Fixed Income Securities* (not applicable to ProFund VP Government Money Market)**

Each Fund may invest in a wide range of fixed income securities, which may include foreign sovereign, sub-sovereign and supranational bonds, as well as any other obligations of any rating or maturity such as foreign and domestic investment grade corporate debt securities and lower-rated corporate debt securities (commonly known as "junk bonds"). Lower-rated or high yield debt securities include corporate high yield debt securities, zero-coupon securities, payment-in-kind securities, and STRIPS. Investment grade corporate bonds are those rated BBB or better by Standard & Poor's Rating Group ("S&P") or Baa or better by Moody's Ratings ("Moody's"). Securities rated BBB by S&P are considered investment grade, but Moody's considers securities rated Baa to have speculative characteristics. See Appendix A for a description of corporate bond ratings. A Fund may also invest in unrated securities.

*Foreign Sovereign, Sub-Sovereign, Quasi Sovereign and Supranational Securities.* A Fund may invest in fixed-rate debt securities issued by: non-U.S. governments (foreign sovereign bonds); local governments, entities or agencies of a non-U.S. country (foreign sub-sovereign bonds); corporations with significant government ownership ("Quasi-Sovereigns"); or two or more central governments or institutions (supranational bonds). These types of debt securities are typically general obligations of the issuer and are typically guaranteed by such issuer. Despite this guarantee, such debt securities are subject to default, restructuring or changes to the terms of the debt to the detriment of security holders. Such an event impacting a security held by a Fund would likely have an adverse impact on the Fund's returns. Also, due to demand from other investors, certain types of these debt securities may be less accessible to the capital markets and may be difficult for a Fund to source. This may cause a Fund, at times, to pay a premium to obtain such securities for its own portfolio. For more information related to foreign sovereign, sub-sovereign and supranational securities, see "Foreign Securities" and "Exposure to Securities or Issuers in Specific Foreign Countries or Regions" below.

*Corporate Debt Securities.* Corporate debt securities are fixed income securities issued by businesses to finance their operations, although corporate debt instruments may also include bank loans to companies. Notes, bonds, debentures and commercial paper are the most common types of corporate debt securities, with the primary difference being their maturities and secured or unsecured status. Commercial paper has the shortest term and is usually unsecured. The broad category of corporate debt securities includes debt issued by domestic or foreign companies of all kinds, including those with small-, mid- and large-capitalizations. Corporate debt may be rated investment-grade or below investment-grade and may carry variable or floating rates of interest.

Because of the wide range of types and maturities of corporate debt securities, as well as the range of creditworthiness of its issuers, corporate debt securities have widely varying potentials for return and risk profiles. For example, commercial paper issued by a large established domestic corporation that is rated investment-grade may have a modest return on principal, but carries relatively limited risk. On the other hand, a long-term corporate note issued by a small foreign corporation from an emerging market country that has not been rated may have the potential for relatively large returns on principal, but carries a relatively high degree of risk.

Corporate debt securities carry both credit risk and interest rate risk. Credit risk is the risk that a Fund could lose money if the issuer of a corporate debt security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due. Some corporate debt securities that are rated below investment-grade are generally considered speculative because they present a greater risk of loss, including default, than higher quality debt securities. The credit risk of a particular issuer's debt security may vary based on its priority for repayment. For example, higher ranking (senior) debt securities have a higher priority than lower ranking (subordinated) securities. This means that the issuer might not make payments on subordinated securities while continuing to

------

make payments on senior securities. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy, holders of higher-ranking senior securities may receive amounts otherwise payable to the holders of more junior securities. Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of certain corporate debt securities will tend to fall when interest rates rise. In general, corporate debt securities with longer terms tend to fall more in value when interest rates rise than corporate debt securities with shorter terms.

*Junk Bonds*. "Junk Bonds" generally offer a higher current yield than that available for higher-grade issues. However, lower-rated securities involve higher risks, in that they are especially subject to adverse changes in general economic conditions and in the industries in which the issuers are engaged, to changes in the financial condition of the issuers and to price fluctuations in response to changes in interest rates. During periods of economic downturn or rising interest rates, highly leveraged issuers may experience financial stress that could adversely affect their ability to make payments of interest and principal and increase the possibility of default. In addition, the market for lower-rated debt securities has expanded rapidly in recent years, and its growth paralleled a long economic expansion. At times in recent years, the prices of many lower-rated debt securities declined substantially, reflecting an expectation that many issuers of such securities might experience financial difficulties. As a result, the yields on lower-rated debt securities rose dramatically, but the higher yields did not reflect the value of the income stream that holders of such securities expected. Rather, the risk was that holders of such securities could lose a substantial portion of their value as a result of the issuers' financial restructuring or default. There can be no assurance that such declines will not recur. The market for lower-rated debt issues generally is thinner and less active than that for higher quality securities, which may limit each Fund's ability to sell such securities at fair value in response to changes in the economy or financial markets. Adverse publicity and investor perceptions, whether or not based on fundamental analysis, may also decrease the values and liquidity of lower-rated securities, especially in a thinly traded market. Changes by recognized rating services in their rating of a fixed income security may affect the value of these investments. Each Fund will not necessarily dispose of a security when its rating is reduced below the rating it had at the time of purchase. However, ProFund Advisors will monitor the investment to determine whether continued investment in the security will assist in meeting each Fund's investment objective.

*Covered Bonds.* A Fund may invest in covered bonds, which are debt securities issued by banks or other credit institutions that are backed by both the issuing institution and underlying pool of assets that compose the bond (a "cover pool"). The cover pool for a covered bond is typically composed of residential or commercial mortgage loans or loans to public sector institutions. A covered bond may lose value if the credit rating of the issuing bank or credit institution is downgraded or the quality of the assets in the cover pool deteriorates.

*Unrated Debt Securities*. A Fund may also invest in unrated debt securities. Unrated debt, while not necessarily lower in quality than rated securities, may not have as broad a market. Because of the size and perceived demand for the issue, among other factors, certain issuers may decide not to pay the cost of getting a rating for their bonds. The creditworthiness of the issuer, as well as that of any financial institution or other party responsible for payments on the security, will be analyzed to determine whether to purchase unrated bonds.

**FOREIGN SECURITIES (not applicable to the Non-Equity ProFunds VP and ProFund VP Government Money Market)**

A Fund may invest in foreign issuers, securities traded principally in securities markets outside the United States, U.S.-traded securities of foreign issuers and/or securities denominated in foreign currencies (together "foreign securities"). Also, each Fund may seek exposure to foreign securities by investing in Depositary Receipts (discussed below). Foreign securities may involve special risks due to foreign economic, political and legal developments, including unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates, exchange control regulation (including currency blockage), expropriation or nationalization of assets, confiscatory taxation, taxation of income and/or gains earned in foreign nations, withholding of portions of interest and dividends in certain countries and the possible difficulty of obtaining and enforcing judgments against foreign entities. Default in foreign government securities, political or social instability or diplomatic developments could affect

------

investments in securities of issuers in foreign nations. In addition, in many countries there is less publicly available information about issuers than is available in reports about issuers in the United States. Foreign companies are not generally subject to uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards, and auditing practices and requirements may differ from those applicable to U.S. companies. Further, the growing interconnectivity of global economies and financial markets has increased the possibilities that conditions in any one country or region could have an adverse impact on issuers of securities in a different country or region.

In addition, the securities of some foreign governments, companies and markets are less liquid, and may be more volatile, than comparable securities of domestic governments, companies and markets. Some foreign investments may be subject to brokerage commissions and fees that are higher than those applicable to U.S. investments. A Fund also may be affected by different settlement practices or delayed settlements in some foreign markets. Moreover, some foreign jurisdictions regulate and limit U.S. investments in the securities of certain issuers. Additionally, U.S. investors may be prohibited from investing in securities issued by companies in certain foreign countries. This could negatively impact a Fund's ability to sell securities or other financial instruments as needed. Such action may impair the value or liquidity of securities and negatively impact the Fund.

A Fund's foreign investments that are related to developing (or "emerging market") countries may be particularly volatile due to the aforementioned factors.

A Fund may value its financial instruments based upon foreign securities by using the market prices of domestically traded financial instruments with comparable foreign securities market exposure.

***Exposure to Securities or Issuers in Specific Foreign Countries or Regions*** 

A Fund may focus its investments in particular foreign geographical regions or countries. In addition to the risks of investing in foreign securities discussed above, the investments of a Fund may be exposed to special risks that are specific to the country or region in which the investments are focused. Furthermore, a Fund with such a focus may be subject to additional risks associated with events in nearby countries or regions or those of a country's principal trading partners. Additionally, a Fund may have an investment focus in a foreign country or region that is an emerging market and, therefore, are subject to heightened risks relative to a Fund that focuses its investments in more developed countries or regions.

***Exposure to Foreign Currencies*** 

Each Fund may invest directly in foreign currencies or hold financial instruments that provide exposure to foreign currencies, including "hard currencies," or may invest in securities that trade in, or receive revenues in, foreign currencies. "Hard currencies" are currencies in which investors have confidence and are typically currencies of economically and politically stable industrialized nations. To the extent that a Fund invests in such currencies, that Fund will be subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Fund assets that are denominated in foreign currencies may be devalued against the U.S. dollar, resulting in a loss. Additionally, recent issues associated with the euro may have adverse effects on non-U.S. investments generally and on currency markets. A U.S. dollar investment in Depositary Receipts or ordinary shares of foreign issuers traded on U.S. exchanges may be affected differently by currency fluctuations than would an investment made in a foreign currency on a foreign exchange in shares of the same issuer. Foreign currencies are also subject to risks caused by inflation, interest rates, budget deficits and low savings rates, political factors and government control. A Fund may be unable or choose not to hedge its foreign currency exposure.

------

***Depositary Receipts*** 

A Fund may invest in depositary receipts. Depositary receipts are receipts, typically issued by a financial institution, which evidence ownership of underlying securities issued by a non-U.S. issuer. Types of depositary receipts include American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"), Global Depositary Receipts ("GDRs") and New York Shares ("NYSs").

ADRs represent the right to receive securities of foreign issuers deposited in a domestic bank or a correspondent bank. ADRs are an alternative to purchasing the underlying securities in their national markets and currencies. For many foreign securities, U.S. dollar-denominated ADRs, which are traded in the United States on exchanges or over-the-counter ("OTC"), are issued by domestic banks. In general, there is a large, liquid market in the United States for many ADRs. Investments in ADRs have certain advantages over direct investment in the underlying foreign securities because: (i) ADRs are U.S. dollar-denominated investments that are easily transferable and for which market quotations are readily available and (ii) issuers whose securities are represented by ADRs are generally subject to auditing, accounting and financial reporting standards similar to those applied to domestic issuers. ADRs do not eliminate all risk inherent in investing in the securities of foreign issuers. By investing in ADRs rather than directly in the stock of foreign issuers outside the U.S., however, a Fund may avoid certain risks related to investing in foreign securities on non-U.S. markets.

GDRs are receipts for shares in a foreign-based corporation traded in capital markets around the world. While ADRs permit foreign corporations to offer shares to American citizens, GDRs allow companies in Europe, Asia, the United States and Latin America to offer shares in many markets around the world.

NYSs (or "direct shares") are foreign stocks denominated in U.S. dollars and traded on American exchanges without being converted into ADRs. These stocks come from countries that do not restrict the trading of their stocks on other nations' exchanges. Each Fund may also invest in ordinary shares of foreign issuers traded directly on U.S. exchanges.

A Fund may invest in both sponsored and unsponsored depositary receipts. Certain depositary receipts, typically those designated as "unsponsored," require the holders thereof to bear most of the costs of such facilities, while issuers of "sponsored" facilities normally pay more of the costs thereof. The depository of an unsponsored facility frequently is under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications received from the issuer of the deposited securities or to pass through the voting rights to facility holders with respect to the deposited securities, whereas the depository of a sponsored facility typically distributes shareholder communications and passes through the voting rights.

Unsponsored ADR programs generally expose investors to greater risks than sponsored programs and do not provide holders with many of the shareholder benefits that come from investing in a sponsored ADR. Unsponsored ADR programs are organized independently and without the cooperation of the issuer of the underlying securities. As a result, available information concerning the issuers may not be as current for unsponsored ADRs, and the price of unsponsored depositary receipts may be more volatile than if such instruments were sponsored by the issuer and/or there may be no correlation between available information and the market value.

**FOREIGN CURRENCY OPTIONS (only applicable to ProFund VP Falling U.S. Dollar)**

A Fund may buy or sell put and call options on foreign currencies, either on exchanges or in the OTC market. A put option on a foreign currency gives the purchaser of the option the right to sell a foreign currency at the exercise price until the option expires. A call option on a foreign currency gives the purchaser of the option the right to purchase the currency at the exercise price until the option expires. Currency options traded on U.S. or other exchanges may be subject to position limits that may limit the ability of a Fund to reduce foreign currency risk using such options. OTC options differ from traded options in that they are two-party contracts with price and other terms negotiated between buyer and seller, and generally do not have as much market liquidity as exchange-traded options.

------

**FORWARD CONTRACTS (not applicable to ProFund VP Government Money Market)**

A Fund may enter into forward contracts to attempt to gain exposure to a benchmark or asset, or to hedge a position. Forward contracts are two-party contracts pursuant to which one party agrees to pay the other party a fixed price for an agreed-upon amount of an underlying asset or the cash value of the underlying asset at an agreed-upon date. Forward contracts that cannot be terminated in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the amount at which a Fund has valued the asset may be considered to be illiquid for purposes of the Fund's illiquid investment limitations. A Fund will not enter into a forward contract unless the Advisor believes that the other party to the transaction is creditworthy. The counterparty to any forward contract will typically be a major, global financial institution. A Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a forward contract in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a counterparty. If such a default occurs, a Fund will have contractual remedies pursuant to the forward contract, but such remedies may be subject to bankruptcy and insolvency laws and proceedings in the event of the counterparty's bankruptcy or insolvency, which could affect the Fund's rights as a creditor and ability to enforce the remedies provided in the applicable contract.

**FORWARD CURRENCY CONTRACTS (only applicable to ProFund VP Falling U.S. Dollar)**

A Fund may invest in forward currency contracts for investment or risk management purposes. A forward currency contract is an obligation to buy or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract. These contracts are entered into on the interbank market conducted directly between currency traders (usually large commercial banks) and their customers. Forward currency contracts are generally structured in one of two ways: (1) on a "non-deliverable" basis in cash settlement (*i.e.*, the parties settle at termination in a single currency based on then-current exchange rates) or (2) by actual delivery of the relevant currency or currencies underlying the forward currency contract.

A Fund may invest in a combination of forward currency contracts and U.S. dollar-denominated market instruments in an attempt to obtain an investment result that is substantially the same as a direct investment in a foreign currency-denominated instrument. This investment technique creates a "synthetic" position in the particular foreign currency instrument whose performance the manager is trying to duplicate. For example, investing in a combination of U.S. dollar-denominated instruments with "long" forward currency exchange contracts creates a position economically equivalent to investing in a money market instrument denominated in the foreign currency itself. Such combined positions are sometimes necessary when the money market in a particular foreign currency is small or relatively illiquid.

For hedging purposes, a Fund may invest in forward currency contracts to hedge either specific transactions (transaction hedging) or portfolio positions (position hedging). Transaction hedging is the purchase or sale of forward currency contracts with respect to specific receivables or payables of a Fund in connection with the purchase and sale of portfolio securities. Position hedging is the sale of a forward currency contract on a particular currency with respect to portfolio positions denominated or quoted in that currency.

A Fund is not required to enter into forward currency contracts for hedging purposes. It is possible, under certain circumstances, that the Fund may have to limit its currency transactions to qualify as a "regulated investment company" ("RIC") under the Internal Revenue Code. A Fund generally does not intend to enter into a forward currency contract with a term of more than one year, or to engage in position hedging with respect to the currency of a particular country to more than the aggregate market value (at the time the hedging transaction is entered into) of their portfolio securities denominated in (or quoted in or currently convertible into or directly related through the use of forward currency contracts in conjunction with money market instruments to) that particular currency.

With respect to forward currency contracts entered into in connection with purchases or sales of securities, at or before the maturity of a forward currency contract, a Fund may either sell a portfolio security and make delivery of the currency, or retain the security and terminate its contractual obligation to deliver the

------

currency by buying an "offsetting" contract obligating them to buy, on the same maturity date, the same amount of the currency. If the Fund engages in an offsetting transaction, it may later enter into a new forward currency contract to sell the currency.

If a Fund engages in offsetting transactions, the Fund will incur a gain or loss, to the extent that there has been movement in forward currency contract prices. If forward prices go down during the period between the date a Fund enters into a forward currency contract for the sale of a currency and the date it enters into an offsetting contract for the purchase of the currency, the Fund will realize a gain to the extent that the price of the currency it has agreed to sell exceeds the price of the currency it has agreed to buy. If forward prices go up, the Fund will suffer a loss to the extent the price of the currency it has agreed to buy exceeds the price of the currency it has agreed to sell.

Because a Fund invests in cash instruments denominated in foreign currencies, it may hold foreign currencies pending investment or conversion into U.S. dollars. Although the Fund values its assets daily in U.S. dollars, it does not convert its holdings of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars on a daily basis. The Fund will convert its holdings from time to time, however, and incur the costs of currency conversion. Foreign exchange dealers may realize a profit based on the difference between the prices at which they buy and sell various currencies. Thus, a dealer may offer to sell a foreign currency to the Fund at one rate, and offer to buy the currency at a lower rate if the Fund tries to resell the currency to the dealer.

Although forward currency contracts may be used by a Fund to try to manage currency exchange risks, unanticipated changes in currency exchange rates could result in poorer performance than if a Fund had not entered into these transactions. Even if ProFund Advisors correctly predicts currency exchange rate movements, a hedge could be unsuccessful if changes in the value of a Fund's position do not correspond to changes in the value of the currency in which its investments are denominated. This lack of correlation between a Fund's forwards and currency positions may be caused by differences between the futures and currency markets.

These transactions also involve the risk that a Fund may lose its margin deposits or collateral and may be unable to realize the positive value, if any, of its position if a counterparty with whom the Fund has an open forward position defaults or becomes bankrupt.

**FUTURES CONTRACTS AND RELATED OPTIONS (not applicable to ProFund VP Government Money Market)**

***Futures in General*** 

Each Fund may purchase or sell futures contracts and options thereon as a substitute for a comparable market position in the underlying securities or to satisfy regulatory requirements. A cash-settled futures contract obligates the seller to deliver (and the purchaser to accept) an amount of cash equal to a specific dollar amount multiplied by the difference between the final settlement price of a specific futures contract and the price at which the agreement is made. No physical delivery of the underlying asset is made.

Each Fund generally engages in closing or offsetting transactions before final settlement of a futures contract wherein a second identical futures contract is sold to offset a long position (or bought to offset a short position). In such cases, the obligation is to deliver (or take delivery of) cash equal to a specific dollar amount multiplied by the difference between the price of the offsetting transaction and the price at which the original contract was entered into. If the original position entered into is a long position (futures contract purchased), there will be a gain (loss) if the offsetting sell transaction is carried out at a higher (lower) price, inclusive of commissions. If the original position entered into is a short position (futures contract sold) there will be a gain (loss) if the offsetting buy transaction is carried out at a lower (higher) price, inclusive of commissions. Investments in commodity-linked futures can be susceptible to negative prices due to a supply surplus which may be caused by global events, including restrictions or reductions in global travel. Exposure to such commodity-linked futures may adversely affect the performance of a Fund.

------

Whether a Fund realizes a gain or loss from futures activities depends generally upon movements in the underlying currency, commodity, security or benchmark. The extent of a Fund's loss from an unhedged short position in futures contracts or from writing options on futures contracts is potentially unlimited, and investors may lose the amount that they invest plus any profits recognized on their investment. A Fund may engage in related closing transactions with respect to options on futures contracts. A Fund will engage in transactions in futures contracts and related options that are traded on a U.S. exchange or board of trade or that have been approved for sale in the U.S. by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC").

All of a Fund's transactions in futures and options on futures will be entered into through a futures commission merchant ("FCM") regulated by the CFTC or under a foreign regulatory regime that has been recognized as equivalent by the CFTC. All futures (and options thereon) entered into by a Fund will be cleared by a clearing house that is regulated by the CFTC or under a foreign regulatory regime that has been recognized as equivalent by the CFTC. A Fund's FCM may limit the Fund's ability to invest in certain futures contracts. Such restrictions may adversely affect the Fund's performance and its ability to achieve its investment objective.

In addition, the CFTC and the exchanges are authorized to take extraordinary actions in the event of a market emergency, including, for example, the implementation of higher margin requirements, the establishment of daily price limits and the suspension of trading. Exchanges may cancel trades in limited circumstances, for example, if the exchange believes that allowing such trades to stand as executed could have an adverse impact on the stability or integrity of the market. Any such cancellation may adversely affect the performance of a Fund.

***Options on Futures*** 

When a Fund purchases a put or call option on a futures contract, the Fund pays a "premium" (*i.e.*, an amount in addition to the value of the underlying contract in relation to the exercise price of the option) for the right to sell (in the case of a put) or purchase (in the case of a call) the underlying futures contract for a specified price upon exercise at any time during the option period. When a Fund sells (or "writes") a put or call option on a futures contract, the Fund receives a premium in return for granting to the purchaser of the option the right to sell to or buy from the Fund the underlying futures contract for a specified price upon exercise at any time during the option period.

***Futures Margin Requirements*** 

Upon entering into a futures contract, each Fund will be required to deposit with its FCM an amount of cash or cash equivalents equal to a small percentage of the contract's value (these amounts are subject to change by the FCM or clearing house through which the trade is cleared). This amount, known as "initial margin," is in the nature of a performance bond or good faith deposit on the contract and is returned to a Fund upon termination of the futures contract, assuming all contractual obligations have been satisfied. Subsequent payments, known as "variation margin," to and from the broker will be made daily as the price of the benchmark underlying the futures contract fluctuates, making the long and short positions in the futures contract more or less valuable, a process known as "marking-to-market." At any time prior to expiration of a futures contract, a Fund may elect to close its position by taking an opposite position, which will operate to terminate the Fund's existing position in the contract. A party to a futures contract is subject to the credit risk of the clearing house and the FCM through which it holds its position. Credit risk of market participants with respect to futures is concentrated in a few clearing houses, and it is not clear how an insolvency proceeding of a clearing house would be conducted and what impact an insolvency of a clearing house would have on the financial system. An FCM is generally obligated to segregate all funds received from customers with respect to customer futures positions from the FCM's proprietary assets. However, all funds and other property received by an FCM from its customers are generally held by the FCM on a commingled basis in an omnibus account, and the FCM may invest those funds in certain instruments permitted under the applicable regulations. The assets of a Fund might not be fully protected in the event of the bankruptcy of the Fund's FCM, because the Fund would be limited to recovering only a pro rata share of all available funds segregated

------

on behalf of the FCM's customers for a relevant account class. Also, the FCM is required to transfer to the clearing house the amount of margin required by the clearing house for futures positions, which amounts are generally held in an omnibus account at the clearing house for all customers of the FCM. If an FCM does not comply with the applicable regulations or its agreement with a Fund, or in the event of fraud or misappropriation of customer assets by a FCM, the Fund could have only an unsecured creditor claim in an insolvency of the FCM with respect to the margin held by the FCM.

***Correlation Risk*** 

The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the futures and the market value of the underlying assets, and the possibility of an illiquid market for a futures contract. Although each Fund intends to buy or sell futures contracts only if there is an active market for such contracts, no assurance can be given that a liquid market will exist for any particular contract at any particular time. Many futures exchanges and boards of trade limit the amount of fluctuation permitted in futures contract prices during a single trading day. Once the daily limit has been reached in a particular contract, no trades may be made that day at a price beyond that limit or trading may be suspended for specified periods during the day. Futures contract prices could move to the limit for several consecutive trading days with little or no trading, thereby preventing prompt liquidation of futures positions and potentially subjecting a Fund to substantial losses. If trading is not possible, or if a Fund determines not to close a futures position in anticipation of adverse price movements, the Fund will be required to make daily cash payments of variation margin. The risk that a Fund will be unable to close out a futures position will be minimized by entering into such transactions on a national exchange with an active and liquid secondary market.

***Speculative Position Limits*** 

The CFTC, certain foreign regulators and many futures exchanges have established (and continue to evaluate and revise) speculative position limits, referred to as "position limits," on the maximum net long or net short positions which any person or entity may hold or control in particular options and futures contracts. In addition, U.S. federal position limits apply to swaps that are economically equivalent to futures contracts on certain agricultural, metals and energy commodities. All positions owned or controlled by the same person or entity, even if in different accounts, must be aggregated for purposes of determining whether applicable position limits have been exceeded, unless an exemption applies. Thus, even if a Fund does not intend to exceed applicable position limits, it is possible that positions of different clients managed by the Advisor and its affiliates may be aggregated for this purpose. Therefore, trading decisions of the Advisor may have to be modified and positions held by a Fund may have to be liquidated in order to avoid exceeding such limits. The modification of investment decisions or the elimination of open positions, if it occurs, may adversely affect the performance of a Fund. A violation of position limits could also lead to regulatory action materially adverse to a Fund's investment strategy. A Fund may also be affected by other regimes, including those of the European Union and United Kingdom, and trading venues that impose position limits on commodity derivative contracts.

**INVESTMENTS IN OTHER INVESTMENT COMPANIES**

A Fund may invest in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") and unit investment trusts ("UITs"), to the extent that such an investment would be consistent with the requirements of the 1940 Act. If a Fund invests in, and thus, is a shareholder of, another investment company, the Fund's shareholders will indirectly bear the Fund's proportionate share of the fees and expenses paid by such other investment company, including advisory fees, in addition to both the management fees payable directly by the Fund to the Fund's own investment adviser and the other expenses that the Fund bears directly in connection with the Fund's own operations.

Because most ETFs are investment companies, absent reliance on Rule 12d1-4 under the 1940 Act, a Fund's investments in such investment companies generally would be limited under applicable federal

------

statutory provisions. Those provisions typically restrict a Fund's investment in the shares of another investment company to up to 5% of its assets (which may represent no more than 3% of the securities of such other investment company) and limit aggregate investments in all investment companies to 10% of assets. A Fund may invest in certain ETFs in excess of the statutory limit in reliance on Rule 12d1-4. Rule 12d1-4 outlines the requirements of Fund of Funds Agreements and specifies the responsibilities of the Board related to "fund of fund" arrangements.

**REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTS (not applicable to the Non-Equity ProFunds VP and ProFund VP Government Money Market)**

A Fund may invest in real estate investment trusts ("REITs"). Equity REITs invest primarily in real property, while mortgage REITs invest in construction, development and long-term mortgage loans. Their value may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying property of the REIT, the creditworthiness of the issuer, property taxes, interest rates, and tax and regulatory requirements, such as those relating to the environment. U.S. REITs are dependent upon management skill, are not diversified and are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, default by borrowers, self-liquidation and the possibility of failing to qualify for tax-free pass-through of income under the Code and failing to maintain exempt status under the 1940 Act.

**SECURITIES AND INDEX OPTIONS (not applicable to ProFund Access VP High Yield and ProFund VP Government Money Market)**

Each Fund may buy and write (sell) options on securities, indexes and other assets for the purpose of realizing its investment objective. Options may settle in cash or settle by a delivery of securities or other assets underlying the options.

***Physically Settled Options*** 

By buying a call option, a Fund has the right, in return for a premium paid during the term of the option, to buy the asset underlying the option at the exercise price. By writing (selling) a call option a Fund becomes obligated during the term of the option to sell the asset underlying the option at the exercise price if the option is exercised; conversely, by buying a put option, a Fund has the right, in return for a premium paid during the term of the option, to sell the asset underlying the option at the exercise price. By writing a put option, a Fund becomes obligated during the term of the option to purchase the asset underlying the option at the exercise price if the option is exercised.

***Cash-Settled Options*** 

Cash-settled options give the holder (purchaser) of an option the right to receive an amount of cash upon exercise of the option. Receipt of this cash amount will depend upon the value of the underlying asset (or closing level of the index, as the case may be) upon which the option is based being greater than (in the case of a call) or less than (in the case of a put) the level at which the exercise price of the option is set. The amount of cash received, if any, will be the difference between the value of the underlying asset (or closing price level of the index, as the case may be) and the exercise price of the option, multiplied by a specified dollar multiple. The writer (seller) of the option is obligated, in return for the premiums received from the purchaser of the option, to make delivery of this amount to the purchaser. All settlements of index options transactions are in cash.

***Exercise of Options*** 

During the term of an option on securities, the writer may be assigned an exercise notice by the broker-dealer through whom the option was sold. The exercise notice would require the writer to deliver, in the case of a call, or take delivery of, in the case of a put, the underlying asset against payment of the exercise price (or, in certain types of options, make a cash equivalent payment). This obligation terminates upon expiration of the option, or at such earlier time that the writer effects a closing purchase transaction by purchasing an option covering the same underlying asset and having the same exercise price and expiration

------

date as the one previously sold. Once an option has been exercised, the writer may not execute a closing purchase transaction.

***Cleared Options*** 

In the case of cleared options, in order to secure the obligation to deliver the underlying asset in the case of a call option, the writer of a call option is required to deposit in escrow the underlying asset or other assets in accordance with the rules of the Options Clearing Corporation (the "OCC"), a clearing agency created to interpose itself between buyers and sellers of options. The OCC assumes the other side of every purchase and sale transaction on an exchange and, by doing so, guarantees performance by the other side of the transaction. Pursuant to relevant regulatory requirements, a Fund is required to agree in writing to be bound by the rules of the OCC. The principal reason for a Fund to write call options on assets held by the Fund is to attempt to realize, through the receipt of premiums, a greater return than would be realized on the underlying assets alone.

If a Fund that writes an option wishes to terminate the Fund's obligation, the Fund may effect a "closing purchase transaction." The Fund accomplishes this by buying an option of the same series as the option previously written by the Fund. The effect of the purchase is that the writer's position will be canceled by the OCC. However, a writer may not effect a closing purchase transaction after the writer has been notified of the exercise of an option. Likewise, a Fund which is the holder of an option may liquidate its position by effecting a "closing sale transaction." The Fund accomplishes this by selling an option of the same series as the option previously purchased by the Fund. There is no guarantee that either a closing purchase or a closing sale transaction can be effected. If any call or put option is not exercised or sold, the option will become worthless on its expiration date. A Fund will realize a gain (or a loss) on a closing purchase transaction with respect to a call or a put option previously written by the Fund if the premium, plus commission costs, paid by the Fund to purchase the call or put option to close the transaction is less (or greater) than the premium, less commission costs, received by the Fund on the sale of the call or the put option. The Fund also will realize a gain if a call or put option which the Fund has written lapses unexercised, because the Fund would retain the premium.

Although certain securities exchanges attempt to provide continuously liquid markets in which holders and writers of options can close out their positions at any time prior to the expiration of the option, no assurance can be given that a market will exist at all times for all outstanding options purchased or sold by a Fund. If an options market were to become unavailable, the Fund would be unable to realize its profits or limit its losses until the Fund could exercise options it holds, and the Fund would remain obligated until options it wrote were exercised or expired. Reasons for the absence of liquid secondary market on an exchange include the following: (i) there may be insufficient trading interest in certain options; (ii) restrictions may be imposed by an exchange on opening or closing transactions or both; (iii) trading halts, suspensions or other restrictions may be imposed with respect to particular classes or series of options; (iv) unusual or unforeseen circumstances may interrupt normal operations on an exchange; (v) the facilities of an exchange or the OCC may not at all times be adequate to handle current trading volume; or (vi) one or more exchanges could, for economic or other reasons, decide or be compelled at some future date to discontinue the trading of options (or a particular class or series of options) and those options would cease to exist, although outstanding options on that exchange that had been issued by the OCC as a result of trades on that exchange would continue to be exercisable in accordance with their terms.

***Options Position Limits*** 

Securities self-regulatory organizations (e.g., the exchanges and FINRA) have established limitations governing the maximum number of call or put options of certain types that may be bought or written (sold) by a single investor, whether acting alone or in concert with others. These position limits may restrict the number of listed options which a Fund may buy or sell. While a Fund is not directly subject to these rules, as a result of rules applicable to the broker-dealers with whom a Fund transacts in options, it is required to agree in writing to be bound by relevant position limits.

------

***Index Options*** 

Index options are subject to substantial risks, including the risk of imperfect correlation between the option price and the value of the underlying assets composing the index selected, the possibility of an illiquid market for the option or the inability of counterparties to perform. Because the value of an index option depends upon movements in the level of the index rather than the price of a particular asset, whether a Fund will realize a gain or loss from the purchase or writing (sale) of options on an index depends upon movements in the level of prices for specific underlying assets generally or, in the case of certain indexes, in an industry or market segment.

**SWAPS**

***General*** 

A Fund may enter into swaps and other derivatives to gain exposure to an underlying asset without actually purchasing such asset, or to hedge a position including in circumstances in which direct investment is restricted, impossible, or is otherwise impracticable. Swaps are two-party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors for periods ranging from a day to more than one year. In a standard "swap" transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on a particular pre-determined interest rate, commodity, security, indexes, or other assets or measurable indicators. The gross return to be exchanged or "swapped" between the parties is calculated with respect to a "notional amount," *e.g.*, the return on, or the increase/decrease in, value of a particular dollar amount invested in a "basket" of securities or an ETF representing a particular index or group of securities.

Each Fund may enter into swaps to invest in a market without owning or taking physical custody of securities. For example, in one common type of total return swap, the Fund's counterparty will agree to pay the Fund the rate at which the specified asset or indicator (*e.g.*, an ETF, or securities comprising a benchmark index, plus the dividends or interest that would have been received on those assets) increased in value multiplied by the relevant notional amount of the swap. The Fund will agree to pay to the counterparty an interest fee (based on the notional amount) and the rate at which the specified asset or indicator decreased in value multiplied by the notional amount of the swap, plus, in certain instances, commissions or trading spreads on the notional amount.

As a result, the swap has a similar economic effect as if the Fund were to invest in the assets underlying the swap in an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap. The return to the Fund on such swap should be the gain or loss on the notional amount plus dividends or interest on the assets less the interest paid by the Fund on the notional amount. However, unlike cash investments in the underlying assets, the Fund will not be an owner of the underlying assets and will not have voting or similar rights in respect of such assets.

As a trading technique, ProFund Advisors may substitute physical securities with a swap having investment characteristics substantially similar to the underlying securities. A Fund may also enter into swaps that provide the opposite return of their benchmark or a security. Their operations are similar to that of the swaps discussed above except that the counterparty pays interest to each Fund on the notional amount outstanding and that dividends or interest on the underlying instruments reduce the value of the swap, plus, in certain instances, each Fund will agree to pay to the counterparty commissions or trading spreads on the notional amount. These amounts are often netted with any unrealized gain or loss to determine the value of the swap.

The use of swaps is a highly specialized activity which involves investment techniques and risks in addition to, and in some cases different from, those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The primary risks associated with the use of swaps are mispricing or improper valuation, imperfect correlation between movements in the notional amount and the price of the underlying investments, and the failure of a counterparty to perform. If a counterparty's creditworthiness for an over-the-counter swap declines, the value of the swap would likely decline. Moreover, there is no guarantee that a Fund could eliminate its exposure

------

under an outstanding swap by entering into an offsetting swap with the same or another party. In addition, a Fund may use a combination of swaps on an underlying index and swaps on an ETF that is designed to track the performance of that index. The performance of an ETF may deviate from the performance of its underlying index due to embedded costs and other factors. Thus, to the extent a Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, that Fund may be subject to greater correlation risk and may not achieve as high a degree of correlation with its index as it would if the Fund used only swaps on the underlying index.

ProFund Advisors, under the supervision of the Board, is responsible for determining and monitoring the liquidity of each Fund's transactions in swaps.

***Common Types of Swaps*** 

A Fund may enter into any of several types of swaps, including:

*Total Return Swaps.* Total return swaps may be used either as economically similar substitutes for owning the reference asset specified in the swap, such as the securities that comprise a given market index, particular securities or commodities, or other assets or indicators. They also may be used as a means of obtaining exposure in markets where the reference asset is unavailable or it may otherwise be impossible or impracticable for a Fund to own that asset. "Total return" refers to the payment (or receipt) of the total return on the underlying reference asset, which is then exchanged for the receipt (or payment) of an interest rate. Total return swaps provide a Fund with the additional flexibility of gaining exposure to a market or sector index in a potentially more economical way.

*Interest Rate Swaps.* Interest rate swaps, in their most basic form, involve the exchange by a Fund with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest. For example, a Fund might exchange its right to receive certain floating rate payments in exchange for another party's right to receive fixed rate payments. Interest rate swaps can take a variety of other forms, such as agreements to pay the net differences between two different interest indexes or rates. Despite their differences in form, the function of interest rate swaps is generally the same: to increase or decrease a Fund's exposure to long- or short-term interest rates. For example, a Fund may enter into an interest rate swap to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or a portion of its portfolio or to protect against any increase in the price of securities the Fund anticipates purchasing at a later date.

*Credit Default Swaps ("CDS")*: A CDS generally references one or more debt securities or reference entities. The protection "buyer" in a CDS is generally obligated to pay the protection "seller" an upfront or a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract until a credit event, such as a default in payments of interest or principal on bonds, has occurred in respect of the reference entity or assets. If a credit event occurs, the seller generally must pay the buyer: (a) the full notional value of the swap; or (b) the difference between the notional value of the defaulted reference entity and the recovery price/rate for the defaulted reference entity. CDS are designed to reflect changes in credit quality, including events of default.

*Other Swaps*. Other forms of swaps that a Fund may enter into include: interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or "cap"; interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified level, or "floor"; and interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels.

***Mechanics of a Fund's Swaps*** 

*Payments*. Most swaps entered into by a Fund (but generally not CDS) calculate and settle the obligations of the parties to the agreement on a "net basis" with a single payment. Consequently, a Fund's current obligations (or rights) under a swap will generally be equal only to the net amount to be paid or received under the agreement based on the relative values of the positions held by each party to the agreement (the "net amount"). Other swaps, such as CDS, may require initial premium (discount) payments as well as periodic payments (receipts) related to the interest leg of the swap or to the default of the reference entity.

------

A Fund's current obligations under most swaps (*e.g.*, total return swaps, equity/index swaps, interest rate swaps) will be accrued daily (offset against any amounts owed to the Fund by the counterparty to the swap). However, typically no payments will be made until the settlement date.

Swaps that cannot be terminated in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the amount a Fund has valued the asset may be considered to be illiquid for purposes of the Fund's illiquid investment limitations.

*Counterparty Credit Risk*. A Fund will not enter into any uncleared swap (*i.e.*, not cleared by a central counterparty) unless ProFund Advisors believes that the other party to the transaction is creditworthy. The counterparty to an uncleared swap will typically be a major global financial institution. A Fund will be subject to credit risk with respect to the counterparties with which the Fund enters into derivatives contracts and other transactions such as repurchase agreements or reverse repurchase agreements. A Fund's ability to profit from these types of investments and transactions will depend on the willingness and ability of its counterparty to perform its obligations. If a counterparty fails to meet its contractual obligations, a Fund may be unable to terminate or realize any gain on the investment or transaction, resulting in a loss to the Fund. A Fund may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in an insolvency, bankruptcy, or other reorganization proceeding involving its counterparty (including recovery of any collateral posted by it) and may obtain only a limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. If a Fund holds collateral posted by its counterparty, it may be delayed or prevented from realizing on the collateral in the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding relating to the counterparty. Under applicable law or contractual provisions, including if a Fund enters into an investment or transaction with a financial institution and such financial institution (or an affiliate of the financial institution) experiences financial difficulties, the Fund may in certain situations be prevented or delayed from exercising its rights to terminate the investment or transaction, or to realize on any collateral, and may result in the suspension of payment and delivery obligations of the parties under such investment or transactions or in another institution being substituted for that financial institution without the consent of the Fund. Further, a Fund may be subject to "bail-in" risk under applicable law whereby, if required by the financial institution's authority, the financial institution's liabilities could be written down, eliminated or converted into equity or an alternative instrument of ownership. A bail-in of a financial institution may result in a reduction in value of some or all of its securities and, if a Fund holds such securities or has entered into a transaction with such a financial security when a bail-in occurs, such Fund may also be similarly impacted.

Upon entering into a cleared swap, a Fund is required to deposit with its FCM an amount of cash or cash equivalents equal to a small percentage of the notional amount (this amount is subject to change by the FCM or clearing house through which the trade is cleared). This amount, known as "initial margin," is in the nature of a performance bond or good faith deposit on the cleared swap and is returned to a Fund upon termination of the swap, assuming all contractual obligations have been satisfied. Subsequent payments, known as "variation margin" to and from the broker will be made daily as the price of the swap fluctuates, making the long and short position in the swap contract more or less valuable, a process known as "marking-to-market." The premium (discount) payments are built into the daily price of the swap and thus are amortized through the variation margin. The variation margin payment also includes the daily portion of the periodic payment stream.

A party to a cleared swap is subject to the credit risk of the clearing house and the FCM through which it holds its position. Credit risk of market participants with respect to cleared swaps is concentrated in a few clearing houses, and it is not clear how an insolvency proceeding of a clearing house would be conducted and what impact an insolvency of a clearing house would have on the financial system. An FCM is generally obligated to segregate all funds received from customers with respect to cleared swap positions from the FCM's proprietary assets. However, all funds and other property received by an FCM from its customers are generally held by the FCM on a commingled basis in an omnibus account, and the FCM may invest those funds in certain instruments permitted under the applicable regulations. The assets of a Fund might not be fully protected in the event of the bankruptcy of the Fund's FCM, because the Fund would be limited to recovering only a pro rata share of all available funds segregated on behalf of the FCM's customers for a

------

relevant account class. Also, the FCM is required to transfer to the clearing house the amount of margin required by the clearing house for cleared swaps positions, which amounts are generally held in an omnibus account at the clearing house for all customers of the FCM. Regulations promulgated by the CFTC require that the FCM notify the clearing house of the amount of initial margin provided by the FCM to the clearing house that is attributable to each customer. However, if the FCM does not provide accurate reporting, a Fund is subject to the risk that a clearing house will use the Fund's assets held in an omnibus account at the clearing house to satisfy payment obligations of a defaulting customer of the clearing member to the clearing house. In addition, if an FCM does not comply with the applicable regulations or its agreement with a Fund, or in the event of fraud or misappropriation of customer assets by an FCM, the Fund could have only an unsecured creditor claim in an insolvency of the FCM with respect to the margin held by the FCM.

*Termination and Default Risk*. Certain of each Fund's swap agreements contain termination provisions that, among other things, require the Fund to maintain a pre-determined level of net assets, and/or provide limits regarding the decline of the Fund's net asset value over specific periods of time, which may or may not be exclusive of redemptions. If the Fund were to trigger such provisions and have open derivative positions, at that time counterparties to the swaps could elect to terminate such agreements and request immediate payment in an amount equal to the net liability positions, if any, under the relevant agreement.

***Regulatory Margin*** 

In recent years, regulators across the globe, including the SEC, the CFTC and the U.S. banking regulators, have adopted margin requirements applicable to uncleared swaps. Uncleared swaps between a Fund and its counterparty are required to be marked-to-market on a daily basis, and collateral is required to be exchanged to account for any changes in the value of such swaps. The rules impose a number of requirements as to these exchanges of margin, including as to the timing of transfers, the type of collateral (and valuations for such collateral) and other matters that may be different than what a Fund would agree with its counterparty in the absence of such regulation. In all events, where a Fund is required to post collateral to its swap counterparty, such collateral will be posted to an independent bank custodian, where access to the collateral by the swap counterparty will generally not be permitted unless the relevant Fund is in default on its obligations to the swap counterparty.

In addition to the variation margin requirements, regulators have adopted "initial" margin requirements applicable to uncleared swaps. Where applicable, these rules require parties to an uncleared swap to post, to a custodian that is independent from the parties to the swap, collateral (in addition to any "variation margin" collateral noted above) in an amount that is either (i) specified in a schedule in the rules or (ii) calculated by the regulated party in accordance with a model that has been approved by that party's regulator(s). From time to time, the initial margin rules may apply to certain Funds' swap trading relationships. In the event that the rules apply to a Fund, they would impose significant costs on such a Fund's ability to engage in uncleared swaps and, as such, could adversely affect ProFund Advisors' ability to manage the Fund, may impair a Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective and/or may result in reduced returns to the Fund's investors.

***Risks of Government Regulation of Derivatives*** 

It is possible that government regulation of various types of derivative instruments, including futures and swap agreements, may limit or prevent a Fund from using such instruments as a part of its investment strategy, and could ultimately prevent a Fund from being able to achieve its investment objective. It is impossible to predict fully the effects of legislation and regulation in this area, but the effects could be substantial and adverse.

The regulation of derivatives markets in the U.S., the European Union ("E.U."), the United Kingdom ("U.K.") and other jurisdictions is an evolving area of law and continues to be subject to modification by government and judicial action. Legislative and regulatory reforms, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act"), have resulted in increased regulation of derivatives, including clearing, margin, trade execution, reporting, recordkeeping and registration requirements.

------

Derivatives regulations could, among other things, restrict a Fund's ability to engage in swap transactions (for example, by making certain types of swap transactions no longer available to the Fund) and/or increase the costs of such swap transactions (for example, by increasing margin or capital requirements), and the Fund may as a result be unable to execute its investment strategies in a manner that ProFund Advisors might otherwise choose. There is a possibility of future regulatory changes altering, perhaps to a material extent, the nature of an investment in a Fund or the ability of a Fund to continue to implement its investment strategies.

Also, as described above, in the event of a counterparty's (or its affiliate's) insolvency, a Fund's ability to exercise remedies could be stayed or eliminated under special resolution regimes adopted in the United States, the EU, the U.K. and various other jurisdictions. Such regimes provide government authorities with broad authority to intervene when a financial institution is experiencing financial difficulty and may prohibit a Fund from exercising termination rights based on the financial institution's insolvency. In particular, in the EU and the U.K., governmental authorities could reduce, eliminate or convert to equity the liabilities to a Fund of a counterparty experiencing financial difficulties (sometimes referred to as a "bail in").

In addition, Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act provides for the regulation of registered investment companies' use of derivatives and certain related instruments. The rule, among other things, limits derivatives exposure through one of two value-at-risk tests (with an exception for certain funds that were in operation as of October 28, 2020 and that seek an investment result above 200% of the return (or inverse of the return) of an underlying index, including those that seek daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to three times (3x) or three times the inverse (-3x) of the daily performance of an index).

These and future rules and regulations could, among other things, further restrict a Fund's ability to engage in, or increase the cost to the Fund of, derivatives transactions, for example, by making some types of derivatives no longer available to the Fund, increasing margin or capital requirements, or otherwise limiting liquidity or increasing transaction costs. The implementation of the clearing requirement for certain swaps has increased the costs of derivatives transactions for a Fund, since a Fund has to pay fees to their clearing members and are typically required to post more margin for cleared derivatives than they have historically posted for bilateral derivatives. The costs of derivatives transactions may increase further as clearing members raise their fees to cover the costs of additional capital requirements and other regulatory changes applicable to the clearing members. The full impact of these regulations on a Fund and the financial system are not yet known. While the regulations and central clearing of some derivatives transactions are designed to reduce systemic risk (*i.e.*, the risk that the interdependence of large derivatives dealers could cause them to suffer liquidity, solvency or other challenges simultaneously), there is no assurance that the mechanisms imposed under the regulations will achieve that result, and in the meantime, as noted above, central clearing, minimum margin requirements and related requirements expose a Fund to different kinds of risks and costs.

Regulations adopted by global prudential regulators require certain bank-regulated counterparties and certain of their affiliates to include in certain financial contracts, including many repurchase agreements, terms that delay or restrict the rights of counterparties, such as a Fund, to terminate such agreements, take foreclosure action, exercise other default rights or restrict transfers of credit support in the event that the counterparty and/or its affiliates are subject to certain types of resolution or insolvency proceedings. It is possible that these requirements, as well as potential additional government regulation and other developments in the market, could adversely affect a Fund's ability to terminate existing repurchase agreements and purchase and sale contracts or to realize amounts to be received under such agreements.

**BORROWING**

Each Fund may borrow money for cash management purposes or investment purposes. Borrowing for investment is a form of leverage. Leveraging investments, by purchasing securities with borrowed money, is a speculative technique which increases investment risk, but also increases investment opportunity. Because substantially all of a Fund's assets will fluctuate in value, whereas the interest obligations on borrowings may be fixed, the NAV per share of the Fund will fluctuate more when the Fund is leveraging its investments than would otherwise be the case. Moreover, interest costs on borrowings may fluctuate with changing market rates of interest and may partially offset or exceed the returns on the borrowed funds. Under adverse conditions, a

------

Fund might have to sell portfolio securities to meet interest or principal payments at a time when investment considerations would not favor such sales. Consistent with the requirements of the 1940 Act, each Fund must maintain continuous asset coverage (total assets, including assets acquired with borrowed funds, less liabilities exclusive of borrowings) of 300% of all amounts borrowed. If at any time the value of a Fund's assets should fail to meet this 300% coverage test, the Fund, within three days (not including weekends and holidays), will reduce the amount of the Fund's borrowings to the extent necessary to meet this 300% coverage requirement. Maintenance of this percentage limitation may result in the sale of portfolio securities at a time when investment considerations would not favor such sale. In addition to the foregoing, each Fund is authorized to borrow money as a temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes in amounts not in excess of 5% of the value of each Fund's total assets. This borrowing is not subject to the foregoing 300% asset coverage requirement. Each Fund is authorized to pledge portfolio securities as ProFund Advisors deems appropriate in connection with any borrowings.

In addition, a Fund may engage in certain derivatives transactions that have economic characteristics similar to leverage. Subject to compliance with the conditions of Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, the Fund's obligations under such transactions will not be considered indebtedness for purposes of computing asset coverage.

Under Rule 18f-4, a Fund's trading of derivatives and other transactions that create future payment or delivery obligations is subject to value-at-risk ("VaR") leverage limits and derivatives risk management program and reporting requirements. Generally, these requirements apply unless a Fund satisfies a "limited derivatives users" exception that is included in the final rule. Under the rule, when a Fund trades reverse repurchase agreements or similar financing transactions, including certain tender option bonds, it needs to aggregate the amount of indebtedness associated with the reverse repurchase agreements or similar financing transactions with the aggregate amount of any other senior securities representing indebtedness when calculating a Fund's asset coverage ratio or treat all such transactions as derivatives transactions. Reverse repurchase agreements or similar financing transactions aggregated with other indebtedness do not need to be included in the calculation of whether a Fund satisfies the limited derivatives users exception, but for funds subject to the VaR testing requirement, reverse repurchase agreements and similar financing transactions must be included for purposes of such testing whether treated as derivatives transactions or not. The SEC also provided guidance in connection with the rule regarding the use of securities lending collateral that may limit a Fund's securities lending activities. In addition, under the rule, a Fund is permitted to invest in a security on a when-issued or forward-settling basis, or with a non-standard settlement cycle, and the transaction will be deemed not to involve a senior security (as defined under Section 18(g) of the 1940 Act), provided that, (i) the Fund intends to physically settle the transaction and (ii) the transaction will settle within 35 days of its trade date (the "Delayed-Settlement Securities Provision"). A Fund may otherwise engage in when-issued, forward-settling and non-standard settlement cycle securities transactions that do not meet the conditions of the Delayed-Settlement Securities Provision so long as the Fund treats any such transaction as a "derivatives transaction" for purposes of compliance with the rule. Furthermore, under the rule, the Fund is permitted to enter into an unfunded commitment agreement, and such unfunded commitment agreement will not be subject to the asset coverage requirements under the 1940 Act, if the Fund reasonably believes, at the time it enters into such agreement, that it will have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to meet its obligations with respect to all such agreements as they come due.

**CASH RESERVES**

In seeking to achieve its investment objective, as a cash reserve, for liquidity purposes, or as cover for positions it has taken, each Fund may invest all or part of its assets in cash or cash equivalents, which include, but are not limited to, short-term money market instruments, U.S. government securities, certificates of deposit, bankers acceptances, or repurchase agreements secured by U.S. government securities.

------

**REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS**

Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions in pursuit of its investment objective, or for liquidity purposes. Under a repurchase agreement, a Fund purchases a debt security and simultaneously agrees to sell the security back to the seller at a mutually agreed-upon future price and date, normally one day or a few days later. The resale price is greater than the purchase price, reflecting an agreed-upon market interest rate during the purchaser's holding period. While the maturities of the underlying securities in repurchase transactions may be more than one year, the term of each repurchase agreement will always be less than one year. Each Fund follows certain procedures designed to minimize the risks inherent in such agreements. These procedures include effecting repurchase transactions generally with major global financial institutions. The creditworthiness of each of the firms that is a party to a repurchase agreement with a Fund will be monitored by ProFund Advisors. In addition, the value of the collateral underlying the repurchase agreement will always be at least equal to the repurchase price, including any accrued interest earned on the repurchase agreement. In the event of a default or bankruptcy by a selling financial institution, a Fund will seek to liquidate such collateral which could involve certain costs or delays and, to the extent that proceeds from any sale upon a default of the obligation to repurchase were less than the repurchase price, the Fund could suffer a loss. A Fund also may experience difficulties and incur certain costs in exercising its rights to the collateral and may lose the interest the Fund expected to receive under the repurchase agreement. Repurchase agreements usually are for short periods, such as one week or less, but may be longer. It is the current policy of each Fund not to invest in repurchase agreements that do not mature within seven days if any such investment, together with any other illiquid assets held by the Fund, amounts to more than 15% of the Fund's total net assets. The investments of each Fund in repurchase agreements at times may be substantial when, in the view of ProFund Advisors, liquidity, investment, regulatory, or other considerations so warrant.

Regulations adopted by global prudential regulators require certain bank-regulated counterparties and certain of their affiliates to include in certain financial contracts, including many repurchase agreements, terms that delay or restrict the rights of counterparties, such as a Fund, to terminate such agreements, take foreclosure action, exercise other default rights or restrict transfers of credit support in the event that the counterparty and/or its affiliates are subject to certain types of resolution or insolvency proceedings. It is possible that these requirements, as well as potential additional government regulation and other developments in the market, could adversely affect a Fund's ability to terminate existing repurchase agreements and purchase and sale contracts or to realize amounts to be received under such agreements.

In December 2023, the SEC adopted rule amendments providing that any covered clearing agency ("CCA") for U.S. Treasury securities require its direct participants (which generally would be a bank or broker-dealer) to submit for clearance and settlement all eligible secondary market transactions in U.S. Treasury securities to which the direct participant is a counterparty. The clearing mandate includes in its scope all repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements of such direct participants collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities (collectively, "Treasury repo transactions") of a type accepted for clearing by a registered CCA, including both bilateral Treasury repo transactions and triparty Treasury repo transactions where a bank agent provides custody, collateral management and settlement services.

The Treasury repo transactions of registered funds with any direct participants of a CCA will be subject to the mandatory clearing requirement.

Market participants, absent an exemption, will be required to clear Treasury repo transactions under the rule as of June 30, 2027. The clearing mandate is expected to result in a Fund being required to clear all or substantially all of its Treasury repo transactions as of the compliance date, and the Fund may incur costs in connection with entering into new agreements (or amending existing agreements) with direct participants of a CCA and potentially other market participants and taking other actions to comply with the new requirements. In addition, upon the compliance date taking effect, the costs and benefits of entering into repurchase transactions involving U.S. Treasuries to a Fund may be impacted as compared to repurchase transactions involving U.S. Treasuries a Fund may enter prior to the compliance date.

------

**REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS (not applicable to ProFund VP Government Money Market)**

Each Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements as part of its investment strategy, which may be viewed as a form of borrowing. Reverse repurchase agreements involve sales by a Fund of portfolio assets for cash concurrently with an agreement by the Fund to repurchase those same assets at a later date at a fixed price. Generally, the effect of such a transaction is that a Fund can recover all or most of the cash invested in the portfolio securities involved during the term of the reverse repurchase agreement, while a Fund will be able to keep the interest income associated with those portfolio securities. Such transactions are advantageous only if the interest cost to a Fund of the reverse repurchase transaction is less than the cost of obtaining the cash otherwise. Opportunities to achieve this advantage may not always be available, and a Fund intends to use the reverse repurchase technique only when it will be to the Fund's advantage to do so.

As discussed above, the SEC has finalized new rules with the effect of requiring the central clearing of certain repurchase transactions involving U.S. Treasuries. Historically, such transactions have not been required to be cleared and voluntary clearing of such transactions has generally been limited.

In addition, as discussed above, the SEC has adopted Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act providing for the regulation of registered investment companies' use of certain derivatives and certain related instruments (e.g., reverse repurchase agreements). Pursuant to the rule, whenever a Fund enters into a reverse repurchase agreement, it will either: (i) be consistent with Section 18 of the Act and maintain asset coverage of at least 300% of the value of the repurchase agreement; or (ii) treat the reverse repurchase agreement as a derivatives transaction for purposes of Rule 18f-4, including, as applicable, the value-at-risk-based limit on leverage risk.

**STRUCTURED NOTES (only applicable to ProFund Access VP High Yield)**

Structured notes are securities that are collateralized by one or more CDS on corporate credits. Each Fund has the right to receive periodic interest payments from the issuer of the structured notes at an agreed-upon interest rate and a return of the principal at the maturity date.

Structured notes are typically privately negotiated transactions between two or more parties, and thus, are not registered under the securities laws. A Fund bears the risk that the issuer of the structured note will default or become bankrupt. A Fund bears the risk of the loss of its principal investment and periodic interest payments expected to be received for the duration of its investment in the structured notes.

In the case of structured notes on CDS (e.g., credit-linked securities), a Fund is also subject to the credit risk of the reference entities underlying the CDS. If one of the underlying reference entities defaults, a Fund may receive the security that has defaulted, or alternatively a cash settlement may occur, and each Fund's principal investment in the structured note would be reduced by the corresponding face value of the defaulted security. The interest and/or principal payments that may be made on a structured product may vary widely, depending on a variety of factors, including the volatility of the reference entity and the effect of changes in the reference entity on principal and/or interest payments.

The rate of return on structured notes may be determined by applying a multiplier to the performance or differential performance of the referenced index or indexes or other assets. Application of a multiplier involves leverage that will serve to magnify the potential for gain and the risk of loss.

The market for structured notes may be, or suddenly can become, illiquid. The other parties to the transaction may be the only investors with sufficient understanding of the derivative to be interested in bidding for it. Changes in liquidity may result in significant, rapid, and unpredictable changes in the prices for structured notes. In certain cases, a market price for a credit-linked security may not be available.

The collateral for a structured note may be one or more CDS, which are subject to additional risks. See "Swaps" for a description of additional risks associated with CDS.

**SHORT SALES (not applicable to ProFund Access VP High Yield and ProFund VP Government Money Market)**

A Fund may engage in short sale transactions. A short sale is a transaction in which a Fund sells a security it does not own in anticipation that the market price of that security will decline. To complete such a transaction, a Fund must borrow the security to make delivery to the buyer. The Fund is then obligated to replace the security borrowed by borrowing the same security from another lender, purchasing it at the market price at the time of replacement or paying the lender an amount equal to the cost of purchasing the security. The price at such time may be more or less than the price at which the security was sold by the Fund. Until the security is replaced, the Fund is required to repay the lender any dividends it receives, or interest which accrues, during the period of the loan. To borrow the security, the Fund also may be required to pay a premium, which would increase the cost of the security sold. The net proceeds of the short sale will be retained by the broker, to the extent necessary to meet the margin requirements, until the short position is closed out. A Fund also will incur transaction costs in effecting short sales.

A Fund may make short sales "against the box," *i.e.*, when a security identical to or convertible or exchangeable into one owned by a Fund is borrowed and sold short.

A Fund will incur a loss as a result of a short sale if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. A Fund will realize a gain if the price of the security declines in price between those dates. The amount of any gain will be decreased, and the amount of any loss will be increased, by the amount of the premium, dividends or interest a Fund may be required to pay, if any, in connection with a short sale.

The SEC and regulatory authorities in other jurisdictions may adopt (and in certain cases, have adopted) bans on new or increases in short sales of certain securities or other short positions on such securities acquired through swaps, in response to market events. Bans on short selling and such short positions may make it impossible for a Fund to execute certain investment strategies and a Fund may be unable to execute its investment strategies as a result. The SEC has also adopted rules that require investment managers to file monthly confidential reports with the SEC regarding equity short sales and related activity. Under the rules, the SEC will publicly disclose aggregated short position information on a monthly basis. On December 3, 2025, the SEC extended the compliance date with respect to the rules to January 2, 2028. In addition, other non-U.S. jurisdictions (such as the EU and the UK) where the Fund may trade have reporting requirements. If the Fund's short positions or its strategy become generally known, it could have a significant effect on the Investment Manager's ability to implement its investment strategy. In particular, it would make it more likely that other investors could cause a "short squeeze" in the securities held short by the Fund forcing the Fund to cover its positions at a loss. Such reporting requirements also may limit the Investment Manager's ability to access management and other personnel at certain companies where the Investment Manager seeks to take a short position. In addition, if other investors engage in copycat behavior by taking positions in the same issuers as the Fund, the cost of borrowing securities to sell short could increase drastically and the availability of such securities to the Fund could decrease drastically. Such events could make the Fund unable to execute its investment strategy.

**SECURITIES LENDING**

Except for ProFund Access VP High Yield and ProFund VP Government Money Market, each Fund may lend securities to brokers, dealers and financial organizations in exchange for collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of U.S. dollar-denominated securities loaned or at least 105% of the value of non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities loaned, marked to market daily. Each loan will be secured continuously by collateral in the form of cash, Money Market Instruments or U.S. Government securities. When a Fund lends its securities, it continues to receive payments equal to the dividends and interest paid on the securities loaned and simultaneously may earn interest on the reinvestment of the cash collateral. Any cash collateral received by the Fund in connection with these loans may be reinvested in a variety of short-term investments. A Fund may incur fees and expenses in connection with the reinvestment of cash collateral. For loans collateralized by cash, borrowers may be entitled to receive a fee based on the amount of collateral. A

------

Fund is typically compensated by the difference between the amount earned on the reinvestment of cash collateral and any fees paid to the borrower. Although voting and other rights attendant to securities on loan pass to the borrower, such loans may be recalled so that the securities may be voted by the Fund if a material event affecting the Fund's investment in the securities on loan is to occur. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time. Not all Funds may participate in securities lending at any given time. No securities loan shall be made on behalf of a Fund if, as a result, the aggregate value of all securities loaned by the particular Fund exceeds one-third of the value of such Fund's total assets (including the value of the collateral received).

Securities lending involves exposure to certain risks, including "gap" risk (*i.e.*, the risk of a mismatch between the return on cash collateral reinvestments and any fees a Fund has agreed to pay a borrower), operational risk (*i.e.*, the risk of losses resulting from problems in the settlement and the accounting process), legal, counterparty and credit risk. If a securities lending counterparty were to default, a Fund would be subject to the risk of a possible delay in receiving collateral or in recovering the loaned securities, or to a possible loss of rights in the collateral. In the event a borrower does not return a Fund's securities as agreed, the Fund may experience losses if the proceeds received from liquidating the collateral do not at least equal the value of the loaned security at the time the collateral is liquidated, plus the transaction costs incurred in purchasing replacement securities. This event could trigger adverse tax consequences for a Fund. The investment of cash collateral deposited by the borrower is subject to inherent market risks such as interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, and other risks that are present in the market. A Fund could lose money if its short-term reinvestment of the collateral declines in value over the period of the loan.

The SEC has adopted reporting requirements for securities loans which include the public dissemination of certain information about such loans. On December 3, 2025, the SEC extended the compliance date for the reporting requirements to September 28, 2028 and extended the compliance date with respect to the public dissemination requirements to March 29, 2029. To the extent these new reporting requirements become effective, they may negatively impact a Fund's ability to execute certain of its investment strategies.

**WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED-DELIVERY SECURITIES**

Each Fund, from time to time, in the ordinary course of business, may (subject in some cases to certain regulatory requirements) purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis (*i.e.*, delivery and payment can take place a number of days after the date of the transaction). These securities are subject to market fluctuations and no interest accrues to the purchaser during this period. At the time a Fund makes the commitment to purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis, the Fund will record the transaction and thereafter reflect the value of the securities, each day, in determining the Fund's NAV. At the time of delivery of the securities, the value of the securities may be more or less than the purchase price.

**CYBERSECURITY**

With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet, artificial intelligence technologies and the dependence on computer systems to perform necessary business functions, each Fund is susceptible to operational and information security risks. In general, cyber incidents can result from deliberate attacks or unintentional events and may arise from external or internal sources. Cyber attacks include, but are not limited to gaining unauthorized access to digital systems for purposes of misappropriating assets or sensitive information, corrupting data, or causing operational disruption. Cyber attacks may also be carried out in a manner that does not require gaining unauthorized access, such as causing denial-of-service attacks on websites. Cybersecurity failures or breaches of the Advisor or a Fund's third-party service provider (including, but not limited to, index providers, the custodian and any sub-custodian, the distributor, the administrator and transfer agent), counterparty or the issuers of securities in which each Fund invests, have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, the inability of Fund shareholders to transact business, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs, and/or additional compliance costs. In

------

addition, substantial costs may be incurred in order to prevent any cyber incidents in the future. A Fund and its shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result. While each Fund has established business continuity plans and systems to prevent such cyber attacks, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems including the possibility that certain risks have not been identified and new risks may emerge in the future. The use of cloud-based service providers could heighten or change these risks. In addition, work-from-home arrangements by the Advisor or each Fund's service providers could increase all of the above risks, create additional data and information accessibility concerns, and make the Advisor, each Fund or its service providers susceptible to operational disruptions, any of which could adversely impact their operations. Recently, geopolitical tensions may have increased the scale and sophistication of deliberate cybersecurity attacks, particularly those from nation-states or from entities with nation-state backing. Furthermore, a Fund cannot control the cybersecurity plans and systems, including artificial intelligence, put in place by issuers in which a Fund invests.

**ILLIQUID SECURITIES**

Each Fund may purchase illiquid securities, including securities that are not readily marketable and securities that are not registered ("restricted securities") under the 1933 Act, but which can be sold to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A under the 1933 Act. A Fund will not invest more than 15% of the Fund's net assets in illiquid securities. Securities generally will be considered "illiquid" if the Fund reasonably expects the security cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the security. Under the current guidelines of the staff of the SEC, illiquid securities also are considered to include, among other securities, purchased OTC options, certain cover for OTC options, repurchase agreements with maturities in excess of seven days, and certain securities whose disposition is restricted under the federal securities laws. The Fund may not be able to sell illiquid securities when ProFund Advisors considers it desirable to do so or may have to sell such securities at a price that is lower than the price that could be obtained if the securities were more liquid. In addition, the sale of illiquid securities also may require more time and may result in higher dealer discounts and other selling expenses than the sale of securities that are not illiquid. Illiquid securities may be more difficult to value due to the unavailability of reliable market quotations for such securities, and investments in illiquid securities may have an adverse impact on NAV.

The SEC has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, which requires each Fund to adopt a liquidity risk management program to assess and manage its liquidity risk. Under its program, a Fund is required to classify its investments into specific liquidity categories and monitor compliance with limits on investments in illiquid securities. Each Fund does not expect Rule 22e-4 to have a significant effect on investment operations. While the liquidity risk management program attempts to assess and manage liquidity risk, there is no guarantee it will be effective in its operations and it may not reduce the liquidity risk inherent in a Fund's investments.

Institutional markets for restricted securities have developed as a result of the promulgation of Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, which provides a safe harbor from 1933 Act registration requirements for qualifying sales to institutional investors. When Rule 144A securities present an attractive investment opportunity and otherwise meet selection criteria, a Fund may make such investments. Whether or not such securities are illiquid depends on the market that exists for the particular security. The Board of Trustees has delegated this responsibility for determining the liquidity of Rule 144A restricted securities that may be invested in by a Fund to ProFund Advisors. It is not possible to predict with assurance exactly how the market for Rule 144A restricted securities or any other security will develop. A security that when purchased enjoyed a fair degree of marketability may subsequently become illiquid and, accordingly, a security that was deemed to be liquid at the time of acquisition may subsequently become illiquid. In such an event, appropriate remedies will be considered in order to minimize the effect on the Fund's liquidity.

------

**INDEX FUNDS (not applicable to ProFund Access VP High Yield and ProFund VP Government Money Market)**

Each Fund seeks performance that corresponds to the performance of an index. There is no guarantee or assurance that the methodology used to create any index will result in a Fund achieving positive returns. Any index may underperform more traditional indices. In turn, the Fund could lose value while other indices or measures of market performance increase in level or performance. In addition, each Fund may be subject to the risk that an index provider may not follow its stated methodology for determining the level of the index and/or achieve the index provider's intended performance objective.

**MANAGEMENT**

There may be circumstances outside the control of ProFund Advisors, the Trust, the Administrator (as defined below), the transfer agent, the Custodian (as defined below), any sub-custodian, the Distributor (as defined below), and/or a Fund that make it, for all practical purposes, impossible to re-position such Fund and/or to process a purchase or redemption order. Examples of such circumstances include: natural disasters; public service disruptions or utility problems such as those caused by fires, floods, extreme weather conditions, and power outages resulting in telephone, telecopy, and computer failures; market conditions or activities causing trading halts; systems failures involving computer or other information systems affecting the aforementioned parties, as well as the DTC, the NSCC, or any other participant in the purchase process; and similar extraordinary events. Accordingly, while ProFund Advisors has implemented and tested a business continuity plan that transfers functions of any disrupted facility to another location and has effected a disaster recovery plan, circumstances, such as those above, may prevent a Fund from being operated in a manner consistent with its investment objective and/or principal investment strategies.

**NON-DIVERSIFIED STATUS**

Each Fund, except for the Diversified Funds, is a "non-diversified" series of the Trust. A Fund's classification as a "non-diversified" investment company means that the proportion of the Fund's assets that may be invested in the securities of a single issuer is not limited by the 1940 Act. Notwithstanding each Fund's status as a "non-diversified" investment company under the 1940 Act, each Fund intends to qualify as a RIC accorded special tax treatment under the Code, which imposes its own diversification requirements that are less restrictive than the requirements applicable to the "diversified" investment companies under the 1940 Act. A Fund's ability to pursue its investment strategy may be limited by that Fund's intention to qualify as a RIC and its strategy may bear adversely on its ability to so qualify. For more details, see "Taxation" below. With respect to a "non-diversified" Fund, a relatively high percentage of such a Fund's assets may be invested in the securities of a limited number of issuers, primarily within the same economic sector. That Fund's portfolio securities, therefore, may be more susceptible to any single economic, political, or regulatory occurrence than the portfolio securities of a more diversified investment company.

ProFund VP Large-Cap Growth may operate as "non-diversified," as defined under the 1940 Act, to the extent necessary to approximate the composition of its index.

**MARKET DISRUPTION AND GEOPOLITICAL RISK**

War, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), natural/environmental disasters, bank failures, market manipulations, economic uncertainty, and related geopolitical events, such as sanctions, tariffs, the imposition of exchange controls or other cross-border trade barriers, have led, and in the future may lead, to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets generally. For example, the U.S. has imposed economic sanctions, which consist of asset freezes, restrictions on dealings in debt and equity, and certain industry-specific restrictions. These sanctions, any additional sanctions or intergovernmental actions, or even the threat of further sanctions, may result in a decline of the value and liquidity of securities in affected countries, a weakening of the affected countries' currencies or other adverse consequences to their respective

------

economies. Sanctions impair the ability of a Fund to buy, sell, receive or deliver those securities and/or assets that are within the scope of the sanctions.

**TRADE DISPUTES**

Global economies are interdependent and may be adversely affected by trade disputes with key trading partners and escalating tariffs imposed on goods and services produced by such countries. To the extent a country engages in retaliatory tariffs, a company that relies on imported parts to produce its own goods may experience increased costs of production or reduced profitability, which may affect consumers, investors and the domestic economy. Trade disputes and retaliatory actions may include embargoes and other trade limitations, which may trigger a significant reduction in international trade and impact the global economy. Trade disputes may also lead to increased currency exchange rate volatility, which can adversely affect the prices of the Fund securities valued in U.S. dollars. Trade disputes could also negatively affect investor confidence in the markets generally and investment growth and could contribute to volatility or overall declines in the U.S. and global investment markets.

**PORTFOLIO QUALITY AND MATURITY**

The ProFund VP Government Money Market will maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity of 60 days or less and a dollar-weighted average life of 120 days or less. All securities in which the ProFund VP Government Money Market invests will have or be deemed to have remaining maturities of 397 days or less on the date of their purchase, will be denominated in U.S. dollars and will be believed by the Advisor, acting under the supervision of and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees, to be of high quality. The Advisor, under the supervision of and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees, will also determine that all securities purchased by ProFund VP Government Money Market present minimal credit risks.

**PORTFOLIO TURNOVER**

Each Fund's portfolio turnover rate, to a great extent, will depend on the purchase, redemption and exchange activity of the Fund's investors. A Fund's portfolio turnover may vary from year to year, as well as within a year. The nature of a Fund may cause a Fund to experience substantial differences in brokerage commissions from year to year. The overall reasonableness of brokerage commissions is evaluated by ProFund Advisors based upon its knowledge of available information as to the general level of commissions paid by other institutional investors for comparable services. High portfolio turnover and correspondingly greater brokerage commissions depend, to a great extent, on the purchase, redemption, and exchange activity of a Fund's investors, as well as each Fund's investment objective and strategies. Consequently, it is difficult to estimate what each Fund's actual portfolio turnover rate will be in the future. However, it is expected that the portfolio turnover experienced by a Fund from year to year, as well as within a year, may be substantial. A higher portfolio turnover rate would likely involve correspondingly greater brokerage commissions and transaction and other expenses that would be borne by a Fund. The nature of a Fund may cause a Fund to experience substantial differences in brokerage commissions from year to year. The overall reasonableness of brokerage commissions is evaluated by ProFund Advisors based upon its knowledge of available information as to the general level of commissions paid by other institutional investors for comparable services. In addition, a Fund's portfolio turnover level may adversely affect the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. "Portfolio Turnover Rate" is defined under the rules of the SEC as the value of the securities purchased or securities sold, excluding all securities whose maturities at time of acquisition were one year or less, divided by the average monthly value of such securities owned during the year. Based on this definition, instruments with remaining maturities of less than one year, including swap agreements, options and futures contracts in which a Fund invests, are excluded from the calculation of Portfolio Turnover Rate for each Fund. For those Funds that commenced operations prior to December 31, 2025, each such Fund's turnover rate information is set forth in the annual report to shareholders, as may be amended. Portfolio turnover rates are also shown in each Fund's summary prospectus.

------

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the increase in portfolio turnover for ProFund VP Consumer Staples, ProFund VP Semiconductor, and ProFund VP Utilities was the result of significant purchase and redemption activity during the year.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the increase in portfolio turnover for ProFund VP Asia 30, ProFund VP Banks, ProFund VP Communication Services, ProFund VP Consumer Discretionary, ProFund VP Emerging Markets, ProFund VP Energy, ProFund VP Financials, ProFund VP Health Care, ProFund VP Industrials, ProFund VP Materials, ProFund VP Real Estate, ProFund VP Technology and ProFund VP Utilities was the result of significant purchase and redemption activity during the year.

**SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS**

To the extent discussed herein and in each Fund's Prospectus, each Fund presents certain risks, some of which are further described below.

**TRACKING AND CORRELATION (not applicable to ProFund Access VP High Yield and ProFund VP Government Money Market)**

Several factors may affect a Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with its benchmark. Among these factors are: (i) a Fund's fees and expenses, including brokerage (which may be increased by high portfolio turnover) and the costs associated with the use of derivatives; (ii) less than all of the securities underlying a Fund's benchmark being held by the Fund and/or securities not included in its benchmark being held by a Fund; (iii) an imperfect correlation between the performance of instruments held by a Fund, such as futures contracts, and the performance of the underlying securities in a benchmark; (iv) bid-ask spreads (the effect of which may be increased by portfolio turnover); (v) holding instruments traded in a market that has become illiquid or disrupted; (vi) a Fund's share prices being rounded to the nearest cent; (vii) changes to the benchmark that are not disseminated in advance; (viii) the need to conform a Fund's portfolio holdings to comply with investment restrictions or policies or regulatory or tax law requirements; (ix) limit-up or limit-down trading halts on options or futures contracts which may prevent a Fund from purchasing or selling options or futures contracts; (x) early and unanticipated closings of the markets on which the holdings of a Fund trade, resulting in the inability of the Fund to execute intended portfolio transactions; and (xi) fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

Also, because each Fund engages in daily rebalancing to position its portfolio so that its exposure to its index is consistent with the Fund's daily investment objective, disparities between estimated and actual purchases and redemptions of the Fund may cause the Fund to be under- or overexposed to its benchmark. This may result in greater tracking and correlation error.

Furthermore, each of the Ultra, Inverse and Non-Equity ProFunds VP, except ProFund VP Falling U.S. Dollar, has an investment objective to seek daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the performance of a multiple (1.25x or 2x), the inverse (-1x) or inverse multiple (-1.25x, -2x) of the daily performance of an index for a single day, not for any other period. A "single day" is measured from the time the Fund calculates its NAV to the time of the Fund's next NAV calculation. These Funds are subject to the correlation risks described above. In addition, while a close correlation of a Fund to its benchmark may be achieved on any single day, the Fund's performance for any other period is the result of its return for each day compounded over the period. This usually will differ in amount and possibly even direction from the multiple (1.25x or 2x), the inverse (-1x) or inverse multiple (-1.25x, -2x) of the daily return of the Fund's index for the same period, before accounting for fees and expenses, as further described in the Prospectus and below.

------

**LEVERAGE (not applicable to Classic ProFunds VP, Sector ProFunds VP, ProFund Access VP High Yield, ProFund VP Bear, ProFund VP Short Mid-Cap, ProFund VP Short Small-Cap, ProFund VP Short Dow 30, ProFund VP Short Nasdaq-100, ProFund VP Short International, ProFund VP Short Emerging Markets and ProFund VP Government Money Market)**

Each Geared Fund intends to use, on a regular basis, leveraged investment techniques in pursuing its investment objective. Leverage exists when a Fund achieves the right to a return on a capital base that exceeds the Fund's assets. Utilization of leverage involves special risks and should be considered to be speculative. Specifically, leverage creates the potential for greater gains to Fund shareholders during favorable market conditions and the risk of magnified losses during adverse market conditions. Leverage is likely to cause higher volatility of the NAVs of a Fund's Shares. Leverage may also involve the creation of a liability that does not entail any interest costs or the creation of a liability that requires the Fund to pay interest which would decrease the Fund's total return to shareholders. If a Geared Fund achieves its investment objective during adverse market conditions, shareholders should experience a loss greater than they would have incurred had the Fund not been leveraged.

**SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING THE CORRELATION RISKS OF GEARED FUNDS (not applicable to Classic ProFunds VP, Sector ProFunds VP, ProFund Access VP High Yield, ProFund VP Falling U.S. Dollar, and ProFund VP Government Money Market)**

As a result of compounding, for periods greater than one day, the use of leverage tends to cause the performance of a Fund to vary from its benchmark performance times the stated multiple or inverse multiple in the Fund's investment objective, before accounting for fees and expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but has a more significant impact on the Geared Funds. Four factors significantly affect how close daily compounded returns are to longer-term benchmark returns times the fund's multiple: the length of the holding period, benchmark volatility, whether the multiple is positive or inverse, and its leverage level. Longer holding periods, higher benchmark volatility, inverse exposure and greater leverage each can lead to returns that differ in amount, and possibly even direction, from a Geared Fund's stated multiple times its benchmark return. As the tables below show, particularly during periods of higher benchmark volatility, compounding will cause longer term results to vary from the benchmark performance times the stated multiple in the Fund's investment objective. This effect becomes more pronounced as volatility increases.

A Geared Fund's return for periods longer than one day is primarily a function of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) benchmark performance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) benchmark volatility;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c) period of time;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d) financing rates associated with leverage or inverse exposure;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e) other Fund expenses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f) dividends or interest paid with respect to securities included in the benchmark; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;g) daily rebalancing of the underlying portfolio.

The fund performance for a Geared Fund can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the factors described above. The tables on the following pages illustrate the impact of two factors, benchmark volatility and benchmark performance, on a Geared Fund. Benchmark volatility is a statistical measure of the magnitude of fluctuations in the returns of a benchmark and is calculated as the standard deviation of the natural logarithm of one plus the benchmark return (calculated daily), multiplied by the square root of the number of trading days per year (assumed to be 252). The tables show estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of benchmark performance and benchmark volatility over a one-year period. Assumptions used in the tables include: (a) no dividends paid with respect to securities included in the underlying benchmark; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain leverage or inverse exposure) of

------

zero percent. If Fund expenses and/or actual borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the Fund's performance would be different than shown.

The table below shows a performance example of a Fund that has an investment objective to correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the daily performance of an index. In the chart below, areas shaded lighter represent those scenarios where a Fund will return the same or outperform (*i.e.*, return more than) the index performance; conversely, areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where a Fund will underperform (*i.e.*, return less than) the index performance.

The tables below shows performance examples of a Fund that has investment objective to correspond to one and one-quarter times (1.25x) and one and one-quarter times the inverse (-1.25x) of, respectively, the daily performance of an index. In the charts below, areas shaded lighter represent those scenarios where a Fund will return the same or outperform (*i.e.*, return more than) the index performance times the stated multiple in the Fund's investment objective; conversely areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund will underperform (*i.e.*, return less than) the index performance times the stated multiple in the Fund's investment objective.

**Estimated Fund Return Over One Year When the Fund's Investment Objective is to Seek Daily Investment Results, Before Fees and Expenses, that Correspond to One and One-Quarter Times (1.25x) the Daily Performance of an Index.**

**INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS**

Each Fund has adopted certain investment restrictions as fundamental policies that cannot be changed without a "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities" of the Fund. The phrase "majority of outstanding voting securities" is defined in the 1940 Act as the lesser of: (i) 67% or more of the shares of the Fund present at a duly-called meeting of shareholders, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund are present or represented by proxy; or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. (All policies of each Fund not specifically identified in this SAI or its Prospectus as fundamental may be changed without a vote of the shareholders of the Fund.) For purposes of the following limitations (except for the restriction on concentration), all percentage limitations apply immediately after a purchase or initial investment.

*Each Fund other than the Actively Managed ProFunds VP*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Each non-money market Fund may invest more than 25% of its total assets in the securities of issuers in a group of industries to approximately the same extent as its benchmark index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Make investments for the purpose of exercising control or management.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Purchase or sell real estate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) Make loans to other persons, except that the acquisition of bonds, debentures or other corporate debt securities and investment in government obligations, commercial paper, pass-through instruments, certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances and repurchase agreements and purchase and sale contracts and any similar instruments shall not be deemed to be the making of a loan, and except further that the Fund may lend its portfolio securities, provided that the lending of portfolio securities may be made only in accordance with applicable law and the guidelines set forth in the Prospectus and this SAI, as they may be amended from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) Issue senior securities to the extent such issuance would violate applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) Borrow money, except that the Fund (i) may borrow from banks (as defined in the 1940 Act) in amounts up to 33 1/3% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed), (ii) may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, borrow up to an additional 5% of its total assets for temporary purposes, (iii) may obtain such short-term credit as may be necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of portfolio securities, (iv) may purchase securities on margin to the extent permitted by applicable law and (v) may enter into reverse repurchase agreements. The Fund may not pledge its assets other than to secure such borrowings or, to the extent permitted by the Fund's investment policies as set forth in the Prospectus and this SAI, as they

------

may be amended from time to time, in connection with hedging transactions, short sales, when-issued and forward commitment transactions and similar investment strategies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7) Underwrite securities of other issuers, except insofar as the Fund technically may be deemed an underwriter under the 1933 Act, as amended, in selling portfolio securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(8) Purchase or sell commodities or contracts on commodities, except to the extent the Fund may do so in accordance with applicable law and the Fund's Prospectus and SAI, as they may be amended from time to time.

*The Actively Managed ProFunds VP* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The Fund may not concentrate investments in a particular industry or group of industries, as concentration is defined or interpreted under the 1940 Act, or the rules or regulations thereunder, as such statute, rules or regulations may be amended from time to time, or by regulatory guidance or interpretations of such statute, rules or regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) The Fund may borrow money or lend to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, or the rules or regulations thereunder, as such statute, rules or regulations may be amended from time to time, or by regulatory guidance or interpretations of such statute, rules or regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) The Fund may issue senior securities to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, or the rules or regulations thereunder, as such statute, rules or regulations may be amended from time to time, or by regulatory guidance or interpretations of such statute, rules or regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) The Fund may underwrite securities to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, or the rules or regulations thereunder, as such statute, rules or regulations may be amended from time to time, or by regulatory guidance or interpretations of such statute, rules or regulations.

**MANAGEMENT OF THE TRUST**

**THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND ITS LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE**

The Board has general oversight responsibility with respect to the operation of the Trust and each Fund. The Board has engaged ProFund Advisors to manage each Fund and is responsible for overseeing ProFund Advisors and other service providers to the Trust and each Fund in accordance with the provisions of the federal securities laws.

The Board is currently composed of four Trustees, including three Independent Trustees who are not "interested persons" of each Fund, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act (each an "Independent Trustee"). In addition to four regularly scheduled meetings per year, the Board periodically meets in executive session (with and without employees of ProFund Advisors), and holds special meetings, and/or informal conference calls relating to specific matters that may require discussion or action prior to its next regular meeting. The Independent Trustees have retained "independent legal counsel" as the term is defined in the 1940 Act.

The Board has appointed Michael L. Sapir to serve as Chairman of the Board. Mr. Sapir is also the Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of ProFund Advisors and, as such, is not an Independent Trustee. The Chairman's primary role is to participate in the preparation of the agenda for Board meetings, determine (with the advice of counsel) which matters need to be acted upon by the Board, and to ensure that the Board obtains all the information necessary to perform its functions and take action. The Chairman also presides at all meetings of the Board and acts, with the assistance of staff, as a liaison with service providers, officers, attorneys and the Independent Trustees between meetings. The Chairman performs such other functions as requested by the Board from time to time. The Board does not have a lead Independent Trustee.

The Board has determined that its leadership structure is appropriate in light of the characteristics of the Trust and each Fund. These characteristics include, among other things, the fact that multiple series are organized under one Trust; all series of the Trust are registered investment companies; all series of the Trust have common service providers; and that the majority of the series of the Trust are geared funds, with similar principal investment strategies. As a result, the Board addresses governance and management issues that are often common to each series of the Trust. In light of these characteristics, the Board has determined that a four-member Board, including three Independent Trustees, is of an adequate size to oversee the operations of the Trust, and that, in light of the small size of the Board, a complex Board leadership structure is not necessary or desirable. The relatively small size of the Board facilitates ready communication among the Board members, and between the Board and management, both at Board meetings and between meetings, further leading to the determination that a complex board structure is unnecessary. In view of the small size of the Board, the Board has concluded that designating one of the three Independent Trustees as the "lead Independent Trustee" would not be likely to meaningfully enhance the effectiveness of the Board. The Board reviews its leadership structure at least annually and believes that its structure is appropriate to enable the Board to exercise its oversight of each Fund.

The Board oversight of the Trust and each Fund extends to the Trust's risk management processes. The Board and its Audit Committee consider risk management issues as part of their responsibilities throughout the year at regular and special meetings. ProFund Advisors and other service providers prepare regular reports for Board and Audit Committee meetings that address a variety of risk-related matters, and the Board as a whole or the Audit Committee may also receive special written reports or presentations on a variety of risk issues at the request of the Board or the Audit Committee. For example, the portfolio managers of each Fund meet regularly with the Board to discuss portfolio performance, including investment risk, counterparty risk and the impact on each Fund of investments in particular securities or derivatives. As noted above, given the relatively small size of the Board, the Board determined it is not necessary to adopt a complex leadership structure in order for the Board to effectively exercise its risk oversight function.

The Board has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO") for the Trust (who is also the CCO for ProShare Advisors LLC). The CCO reports directly to the Board and participates in the Board's meetings. The Independent Trustees meet at least annually in executive session with the CCO, and each Fund's CCO prepares and presents an annual written compliance report to the Board. The CCO also provides updates to

------

the Board on the operation of the Trust's compliance policies and procedures and on how these procedures are designed to mitigate risk. Finally, the CCO and/or other officers or employees of ProFund Advisors report to the Board in the event that any material risk issues arise.

In addition, the Audit Committee of the Board meets regularly with the Trust's independent public accounting firm to review reports on, among other things, each Fund's controls over financial reporting. The Trustees, their birth date, term of office and length of time served, principal business occupations during the past five years and the number of portfolios in the Fund Complex overseen and other directorships, if any, held by each Trustee, are shown below. Unless noted otherwise, the address of each Trustee is: c/o ProFunds, 7272 Wisconsin Avenue, 21<sup>st</sup> Floor, Bethesda, Maryland 20814.

\*

The "Fund Complex" consists of all operational registered investment companies under the 1940 Act that are advised by ProFund Advisors and any registered investment companies that have an investment adviser that is an affiliated person of ProFund Advisors. Investment companies that are non-operational (and therefore, not publicly offered) as of the date of this SAI are excluded from these figures.

\*\*

Mr. Sapir is an "interested person," as defined by the 1940 Act, because of his ownership interest in ProFund Advisors.

The Board was formed in 1997 prior to the inception of the Trust's operations. Messrs. Reynolds, Wachs and Sapir were appointed to serve as the Board's initial trustees prior to the Trust's operations. Mr. Fertig was added in June 2011. Each Trustee was and is currently believed to possess the specific experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills necessary to serve as a Trustee of the Trust. In addition to their years of service as Trustees to Trust, and gathering experience with funds with investment objectives and principal investment strategies similar to certain series of the Trust, each individual brings experience and qualifications from other areas. In particular, Mr. Reynolds has significant senior executive experience in the areas of human resources and recruitment and executive organization; Mr. Wachs has significant experience in the areas of investment and real estate development; Mr. Sapir has significant experience in the field of investment management, both as an executive and as an attorney; and Mr. Fertig has significant experience in the areas of investment and asset management.

**COMMITTEES**

The Board has established an Audit Committee to assist the Board in performing oversight responsibilities. The Audit Committee is composed exclusively of Independent Trustees. Currently, the Audit Committee is composed of Messrs. Reynolds, Wachs and Fertig. Among other things, the Audit Committee makes recommendations to the full Board of Trustees with respect to the engagement of an independent registered public accounting firm and reviews with the independent registered public accounting firm the plan and results of the internal controls, audit engagement and matters having a material effect on the Trust's financial operations. During the past fiscal year, the Audit Committee met six times, and the Board of Trustees met four times.

**TRUSTEE OWNERSHIP**

Listed below for each Trustee is a dollar range of securities beneficially owned in the Trust, together with the aggregate dollar range of equity securities in all registered investment companies overseen by each Trustee that are in the same family of investment companies as the Trust, as of December 31, 2025.

------

under common control with the Advisor or principal underwriter of the Trust (not including registered investment companies) as of December 31, 2025.

**COMPENSATION OF TRUSTEES**

Each Independent Trustee is paid a $375,000 annual retainer for service as a Trustee on the Board and for service as a trustee on the board of other funds in the Fund Complex.

The Officers, under the supervision of the Board, manage the day-to-day operations of the Trust. One Trustee and all of the Officers of the Trust are directors, officers or employees of the Advisor or Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC. The other Trustees are Independent Trustees. The Trustees and some Officers are also directors and officers of some or all of the other funds in the Fund Complex. The Fund Complex includes all funds advised by the Advisor and any funds that have an investment adviser that is an affiliate of the Advisor.

**COMPENSATION OF OFFICERS**

The Officers, other than the CCO, receive no compensation directly from the Trust for performing the duties of their offices.

**CONTROL PERSONS AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF SECURITIES**

See Appendix B to this SAI for a list of the principal holders of a Fund.

**INVESTMENT ADVISOR**

ProFund Advisors, located at 7272 Wisconsin Avenue, 21<sup>st</sup> Floor, Bethesda, Maryland 20814, serves as the investment adviser to each Fund and provides investment advice and management services to each Fund. ProFund Advisors is owned by Michael L. Sapir, Louis M. Mayberg and Radcliff PS I LLC.

**INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT**

Under an investment advisory agreement between the Advisor and the Trust dated October 28, 1997 and most recently amended and restated as of March 10, 2005 (the "Advisory Agreement"), the Advisor manages the investment and reinvestment of each Fund's assets in accordance with its investment objective(s), policies, and restrictions, subject to the general supervision and control of the Board and the Trust's Officers. The Advisor bears all costs associated with providing these services. The Advisory Agreement may be terminated with respect to a series of the Trust at any time, by a vote of the Trustees, by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) of that series, or by the Advisor in each case upon sixty days' prior written notice.

**PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT**

**PORTFOLIO MANAGER COMPENSATION**

ProFund Advisors believes that its compensation program is competitively positioned to attract and retain high-caliber investment professionals. The compensation package for portfolio managers consists of a fixed base salary, an annual incentive bonus opportunity and a competitive benefits package. A portfolio manager's salary compensation is designed to be competitive with the marketplace and reflect a portfolio manager's relative experience and contribution to the firm. Fixed base salary compensation is reviewed and adjusted annually to reflect increases in the cost of living and market rates.

The annual incentive bonus opportunity provides cash bonuses based upon the overall firm's performance and individual contributions. Principal consideration for each portfolio manager is given to appropriate risk management, teamwork and investment support activities in determining the annual bonus amount.

Portfolio managers are eligible to participate in the firm's standard employee benefits programs, which include a competitive 401(k) retirement savings program with employer match, life insurance coverage, and health and welfare programs.

Listed below for each portfolio manager are the number and type of accounts managed or overseen by such portfolio manager as of December 31, 2025.

***Conflicts of Interest***

In the course of providing advisory services, ProFund Advisors may simultaneously recommend the sale of a particular security for one account while recommending the purchase of the same security for another account if such recommendations are consistent with each client's investment strategies. ProFund Advisors also may recommend the purchase or sale of securities that may also be recommended by ProShare Advisors LLC, an affiliate of ProFund Advisors.

ProFund Advisors, its principals, officers and employees (and members of their families) and affiliates may participate directly or indirectly as investors in ProFund Advisors' clients, such as a Fund. Thus ProFund Advisors may recommend to clients the purchase or sale of securities in which it, or its officers, employees or related persons have a financial interest. ProFund Advisors may give advice and take actions in the performance of its duties to its clients that differ from the advice given or the timing and nature of actions taken, with respect to other clients' accounts and/or employees' accounts that may invest in some of the same securities recommended to clients.

In addition, ProFund Advisors, its affiliates and principals may trade for their own accounts. Consequently, non-customer and proprietary trades may be executed and cleared through any prime broker or other broker utilized by clients. It is possible that officers or employees of ProFund Advisors may buy or sell securities or other instruments that ProFund Advisors has recommended to, or purchased for, its clients and may engage in transactions for their own accounts in a manner that is inconsistent with ProFund Advisors' recommendations to a client. Personal securities transactions by employees may raise potential conflicts of interest when such persons trade in a security that is owned by, or considered for purchase or sale for, a client. ProFund Advisors has adopted policies and procedures designed to detect and prevent such conflicts of interest and, when they do arise, to ensure that it effects transactions for clients in a manner that is consistent with its fiduciary duty to its clients and in accordance with applicable law.

Any "access person" of ProFund Advisors, (as defined under the 1940 Act and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the "Advisers Act")), may make security purchases subject to the terms of the ProFund Advisors Code of Ethics that are consistent with the requirements of Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act and Rule 204A-1 under the Advisers Act.

ProFund Advisors and its affiliated persons may come into possession from time to time of material nonpublic and other confidential information about companies which, if disclosed, might affect an investor's decision to buy, sell, or hold a security. Under applicable law, ProFund Advisors and its affiliated persons would be prohibited from improperly disclosing or using this information for their personal benefit or for the benefit of any person, regardless of whether the person is a client of ProFund Advisors. Accordingly, should

------

ProFund Advisors or any affiliated person come into possession of material nonpublic or other confidential information with respect to any company, ProFund Advisors and its affiliated persons will have no responsibility or liability for failing to disclose the information to clients as a result of following its policies and procedures designed to comply with applicable law.

**REGISTRATION AS A COMMODITY POOL OPERATOR**

In connection with its management of Commodity Pools, ProFund Advisors has registered as a commodity pool operator (a "CPO") and the Commodity Pools are commodity pools under the Commodity Exchange Act (the "CEA"). Accordingly, with respect to the Commodity Pools, ProFund Advisors is subject to registration and regulation as a CPO under the CEA, and must comply with various regulatory requirements under the CEA and the rules and regulations of the CFTC and the National Futures Association ("NFA"), including disclosure requirements and reporting and recordkeeping requirements. ProFund Advisors is also subject to periodic inspections and audits by the NFA. Compliance with these regulatory requirements could adversely affect the Commodity Pools' total return. In this regard, any further amendment to the CEA or its related regulations that subject ProFund Advisors or the Commodity Pools to additional regulation may have adverse impacts on the Commodity Pools' operations and expenses. While ProFund Advisors is registered as a CPO, with respect to the Excluded Pools, ProFund Advisors has filed a claim of exclusion from the definition of the term "commodity pool operator" under the CEA, pursuant to CFTC Rule 4.5 (the "Exclusion") and therefore, ProFund Advisors is not subject to registration or regulation as a CPO under the CEA with respect to the Excluded Pools. In order to remain eligible for the Exclusion, each of the Excluded Pools will be limited in its ability to use certain financial instruments including futures, options on futures and certain swaps and will be limited in the manner in which it holds out its use of such instruments.

A Fund does not pay any separate cash collateral management services fees, administrative fees, fees for indemnification or other fees not reflected above for securities lending activities. Earnings from cash collateral investments received by the securities lending agent are included in the Revenue Split.

**ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES**

The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, may enter into administrative services agreements with insurance companies pursuant to which the insurance companies will provide administrative services with respect to each Fund. These services may include, but are not limited to: coordinating matters relating to the operation of an insurer's separate account with each Fund, including necessary coordination with other service providers; coordinating the preparation of necessary documents to be submitted to regulatory authorities; providing assistance to variable contract owners who use or intend to use a Fund as funding vehicles for their variable contracts; coordinating with the Advisor regarding investment limitations and parameters to which each Fund is subject; generally assisting with compliance with applicable regulatory requirements, responding to ministerial inquiries concerning the Fund's investment objectives, investment programs, policies and performance; transmitting, on behalf of each Fund, proxy statements, annual reports, updated prospectuses, and other communications regarding a Fund; and providing any related services as a Fund or its investors may reasonably request. Because of the relatively higher volume of transactions in each Fund, generally, each Fund is authorized to pay higher administrative service fees than might be the case for more traditional mutual funds. To the extent any of these fees are paid by a Fund, they are included in the amount appearing opposite the caption "Other Expenses" under "Annual Fund Operating Expenses" in the expense tables contained in the Prospectus. In addition, the Advisor or Distributor may compensate such financial intermediaries or their agents directly or indirectly for such services.

Compensation paid by the Advisor or Distributor out of their own resources for such services is not reflected in the fees and expenses outlined in the fee table for each Fund.

For these services, the Trust may pay each insurer a quarterly fee equal on an annual basis to up to 0.35% of the average daily net assets of each Fund that are invested in such Fund through the insurer's separate account, or an annual fee that may vary depending upon the number of investors that utilize a Fund as the funding medium for their contracts. The insurance company may impose other account or service charges. See the Prospectus for the separate account of the insurance company for additional information regarding such charges.

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2025, the following administrative services fees were paid:

**DISTRIBUTION OF FUND SHARES**

**DISTRIBUTOR**

The Distributor, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Advisor serves as the distributor and principal underwriter in all fifty states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico and offers shares of each Fund on a continuous basis. Its address is 7272 Wisconsin Avenue, 21<sup>st</sup> Floor, Bethesda, Maryland 20814. The Distributor has no role in determining the investment policies of the Trust or which securities are to be purchased or sold by the Trust.

**DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN**

Pursuant to a plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act ("Distribution Plan"), the Funds may compensate financial intermediaries from their assets for services rendered and expenses borne in connection with activities primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of the Funds. It is anticipated that a portion of the amounts paid by the Funds will be used to defray various costs incurred in connection with the printing and mailing of prospectuses, statements of additional information, and any supplements thereto and shareholder reports, and holding seminars and sales meetings with wholesale and retail sales personnel designed to promote the distribution of the shares. The Funds also may reimburse or compensate financial intermediaries and third-party broker-dealers for their services in connection with the distribution of the shares of the Funds.

The Distribution Plan provides that the Trust, on behalf of each Fund, will pay annually 0.25% of the average daily net assets of a Fund in respect of activities primarily intended to result in the sale of its shares. Under the terms of the Distribution Plan and related agreements, each Fund is authorized to make quarterly payments that may be used to compensate entities providing distribution services with respect to the shares of the Fund for such entities' fees or expenses incurred or paid in that regard.

The Distribution Plan is of a type known as a "compensation" plan because payments may be made for services rendered to the Funds regardless of the level of expenditures by the financial intermediaries. The Trustees will, however, take into account such expenditures for purposes of reviewing operations under the Distribution Plan in connection with their annual consideration of the Distribution Plan's renewal. Expenditures under the Distribution Plan may include, without limitation: (a) the printing and mailing of Funds prospectuses, statements of additional information, any supplements thereto and shareholder reports for prospective investors; (b) those relating to the development, preparation, printing and mailing of advertisements, sales literature and other promotional materials describing and/or relating to the Funds; (c) holding seminars and sales meetings designed to promote the distribution of the Funds shares; (d) obtaining information and providing explanations to wholesale and retail distributors of contracts regarding the investment objectives and policies and other information about the Funds, including the performance of the Funds; (e) training sales personnel regarding the Funds; and (f) financing any other activity that is primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of the Funds. In addition, a financial intermediary may enter into an agreement with the Trust under which it would be entitled to receive compensation for, among other things, making the Funds available to its contract owners as a funding vehicle for variable insurance contracts.

The Distribution Plan and any related agreement that is entered into by the Trust in connection with the Distribution Plan will continue from year-to-year only so long as continuance is specifically approved at least annually by a vote of a majority of the Board of Trustees, and of a majority of the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust and who have no financial interest in the operation of the Distribution Plan or any related agreement (the "Independent Trustees"), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the Distribution Plan or any related agreement, as applicable. In addition, the Distribution Plan and any related agreement may be terminated as to a Fund at any time, without penalty, by vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund or by vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees. The Distribution Plan also provides that it may not be amended to increase materially the amount (0.25% of average daily net assets annually) that may be spent for distribution of shares of the Fund without the approval of shareholders of the Fund.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, fees were paid under the Distribution Plan to authorized financial intermediaries in the following amounts:

**OTHER MATTERS**

**COSTS AND EXPENSES**

Each Fund bears all expenses of its operations other than those assumed by ProFund Advisors or the Administrator. Expenses may be incurred that relate to all series or a subset of series in the Fund Complex. The allocation of such expenses raises potential conflicts of interest. The Trust has established procedures designed to promote a fair, reasonable, and equitable allocation of expenses and to avoid cross-subsidization of one series by other series in the Fund Complex.

**PAYMENTS TO THIRD PARTIES FROM THE ADVISOR AND/OR DISTRIBUTOR**

As disclosed in the Prospectus, the Advisor and the Distributor may from time to time pay significant amounts to financial firms in connection with the sale or servicing of a Fund and for other services such as those described in the Prospectus. This information is provided in order to assist broker-dealers in satisfying certain requirements of Rule 10b-10 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which provides that broker-dealers must provide information to customers regarding any remuneration they receive in connection with a sales transaction. You should consult your financial advisor and review carefully any disclosure by the financial firm as to compensation received by your financial advisor.

In addition, the Advisor, the Distributor and their affiliates may from time to time make additional payments such as cash bonuses or provide other incentives to selected financial firms as compensation for services (including preferential services) such as, without limitation, paying for active asset allocation services provided to investors in a Fund; providing a Fund with "shelf space" or a higher profile with the financial firms' financial consultants and their customers; placing a Fund on the financial firms' preferred or recommended fund list or otherwise identifying a Fund as being part of a complex to be accorded a higher degree of marketing support than complexes not making such payments; granting the Advisor or Distributor access to the financial firms' financial consultants (including through the firms' intranet websites) in order to promote a Fund; promoting communications with financial firms' customers such as in the firms' internet websites or in customer newsletters; providing assistance in training and educating the financial firms' personnel; and furnishing marketing support for a Fund and other specified services. These payments may be significant to the financial firms and may also take the form of sponsorship of seminars or informational meetings or payment for attendance by persons associated with the financial firms at seminars or informational meetings.

A number of factors will be considered in determining the amount of these additional payments to financial firms. On some occasions, such payments may be conditioned upon levels of sales, including the sale of a specified minimum dollar amount of the shares of a Fund, other funds sponsored by the Advisor and its affiliates together and/or a particular class of shares, during a specified period of time.

The Distributor and the Advisor may also make payments to one or more participating financial firms based upon factors such as the amount of assets a financial firm's clients have invested in a Fund and the quality of the financial firm's relationship with the Distributor or the Advisor and their affiliates.

------

The additional payments described above are made out of the Distributor's or the Advisor's (or their affiliates') own assets, as applicable, pursuant to agreements with brokers and do not change the price paid by investors for the purchase of a Fund's shares or the amount a Fund will receive as proceeds from such sales. These payments may be made to financial firms selected by the Distributor or the Advisor or their affiliates to the financial firms that have sold significant amounts of shares of a Fund. Dealers may not use sales of a Fund's shares to qualify for this compensation to the extent prohibited by the laws or rules of any state or any self-regulatory agency, such as FINRA. The level of payment made to financial firm(s) in any future year will vary, may be subject to certain minimum payment levels, and is typically calculated as a percentage of sales made to and/or assets held by customers of the financial firm. In some cases, in addition to the payments described above, the Distributor, the Advisor and/or their affiliates will make payments for special events such as a conferences or seminars sponsored by one of such financial firms.

If investment advisors, distributors or affiliates of mutual funds pay bonuses and incentives in differing amounts, financial firms and their financial consultants may have financial incentives for recommending a particular mutual fund (including each Fund) over other mutual funds.

In addition, depending on the arrangements in place at any particular time, a financial firm and its financial consultants may also have a financial incentive for recommending a particular share class over other share classes. You should consult with your financial advisor and review carefully any disclosure by the financial firm as to compensation received by that firm and/or your financial advisor.

Representatives of the Distributor, the Advisor and their affiliates visit brokerage firms on a regular basis to educate financial advisors about a Fund and to encourage the sale of Fund shares to their clients. The costs and expenses associated with these efforts may include, but are not limited to, travel, lodging, sponsorship at educational seminars and conferences, entertainment and meals to the extent permitted by law.

Although a Fund may use financial firms that sell Fund shares to effect transactions for the Fund's portfolio, the Fund and the Advisor will not consider the sale of Fund shares as a factor when choosing financial firms to make those transactions.

**DISTRIBUTION OF FUND SHARES TO GOVERNMENT SPONSORED RETIREMENT PLANS**

The Funds do not accept purchases from any government plan or program as defined under Rule 206(4)-5(f)(8) under the Advisers Act. Specifically, the Funds will not accept, and any broker-dealer should not accept, any order for the purchase of Fund shares on behalf of any participant-directed investment program or plan sponsored or established by a State or political subdivision or any agency, authority or instrumentality thereof, including, but not limited to, a "qualified tuition plan" authorized by Section 529 of the Code, a retirement plan authorized by Section 403(b) or 457 of the Code, or any similar program or plan.

**CODE OF ETHICS**

The Trust, ProFund Advisors and the Distributor each have adopted a consolidated code of ethics (the "COE"), under Rule 17j-1 of the 1940 Act, which is reasonably designed to ensure that all acts, practices and courses of business engaged in by personnel of the Trust, ProFund Advisors and the Distributor reflect high standards of conduct and comply with the requirements of the federal securities laws. There can be no assurance that the COE will be effective in preventing deceptive, manipulative or fraudulent activities. The COE permits personnel subject to it to invest in securities, including securities that may be held or purchased by a Fund; however, such transactions are reported on a regular basis by ProFund Advisors' personnel that are Access Persons. Access Persons, as the term is defined in the COE, subject to the COE are also required to report transactions in registered open-end investment companies advised or sub-advised by ProFund Advisors. The COE is on file with the SEC and is available to the public.

The Board of Trustees has adopted policies and procedures with respect to voting proxies relating to portfolio securities of each Fund, pursuant to which the Board of Trustees has delegated responsibility for voting such proxies to ProFund Advisors subject to the Board's continuing oversight.

***Policies and Procedures*** 

The Advisor's proxy voting policies and procedures (the "Guidelines") are reasonably designed to maximize shareholder value and protect shareholder interests when voting proxies. The Advisor's Brokerage Allocation and Proxy Voting Committee (the "Proxy Committee") exercises and documents the Advisor's responsibilities with regard to voting of client proxies. The Proxy Committee is composed of employees of the Advisor. The Proxy Committee reviews and monitors the effectiveness of the Guidelines. To assist the Advisor in its responsibility for voting proxies and the overall proxy voting process, the Advisor has retained Institutional Shareholder Services ("ISS") as an expert in the proxy voting and corporate governance area. The Proxy Committee reviews and, as necessary, may amend periodically the Guidelines to address new or revised proxy voting policies or procedures.

Information on how proxies were voted for portfolio securities for the 12-month (or shorter) period ended June 30 is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Advisor at 888-776-3637 or on the Trust's website at profunds.com, or on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov. See Appendix C for a copy of the proxy voting policy and procedures.

**DISCLOSURE OF PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS**

The Trust has adopted a policy regarding the disclosure of information about each Fund's portfolio holdings, which is reviewed on an annual basis. The Board must approve all material amendments to this policy. Disclosure of the complete holdings of each Fund is required to be made quarterly within 60 days of the end of the Fund's second and fourth fiscal quarter in the reports filed on Form N-CSR and in the monthly holdings report on Form N-PORT, with every third month made available to the public by the SEC 60 days after the end of the Funds' fiscal quarter. You can find SEC filings on the SEC's website, www.sec.gov. Portfolio holdings information may be made available prior to its public availability ("Non-Standard Disclosure") as frequently as daily to the Advisor, Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC, UMB Bank, N.A., and ProFunds Distributors, Inc. (collectively, the "Service Providers"), and as frequently as weekly to certain non-service providers (including rating agencies, consultants and other qualified financial professionals for such purposes as analyzing and ranking a Fund or performing due diligence and asset allocation). A recipient of Non-Standard Disclosure must agree to confidentiality provisions, as required by applicable law, in which the recipient agrees that the information will be kept confidential, be used only for a legitimate business purpose and will not be used for trading. Recipients are required to have systems and procedures in place to ensure that such confidentiality provisions will be honored. Neither a Fund nor the Advisor may receive compensation or other consideration in connection with the disclosure of information about portfolio securities.

Non-Standard Disclosure may be authorized by the CCO or, in his absence, any other authorized officer of the Trust, if he determines that such disclosure is in the best interests of shareholders, no conflict exists between the interests of shareholders and those of the Advisor or Distributor, such disclosure serves a legitimate business purpose, and measures discussed in the previous paragraph regarding confidentiality are satisfied. The lag time between the date of the information and the date on which the information is disclosed shall be determined by the officer authorizing the disclosure. The CCO is responsible for ensuring that portfolio holdings disclosures are made in accordance with this Policy. As of the date of this SAI, no parties other than the Trust's Service Providers and any other persons identified above receive Non-Standard Disclosure.

**PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS AND BROKERAGE**

Subject to the general supervision by the Board, ProFund Advisors is responsible for decisions to buy and sell securities and derivatives for each Fund and the selection of brokers and dealers to effect transactions. Purchases from dealers serving as market makers may include a dealer's mark-up or reflect a dealer's mark-down. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities are normally transacted through issuers, underwriters or major dealers in U.S. government securities acting as principals. Such transactions, along with other fixed income securities transactions, are made on a net basis and do not typically involve payment of brokerage commissions. The cost of securities purchased from an underwriter usually includes a commission paid by the issuer to the underwriters; transactions with dealers normally reflect the spread between bid and asked prices; and transactions involving baskets of equity securities typically include brokerage commissions. As an alternative to directly purchasing securities, ProFund Advisors may find efficiencies and cost savings by purchasing futures or using other derivative instruments like total return swaps or forward contracts. ProFund Advisors may also choose to cross-trade securities between clients to save costs where allowed under applicable law.

The policy for each Fund regarding purchases and sales of securities is that primary consideration will be given to obtaining the most favorable prices and efficient executions of transactions. Consistent with this policy, when securities transactions are effected on a stock exchange, the policy is to pay commissions that are considered fair and reasonable without necessarily determining that the lowest possible commissions are paid in all circumstances. ProFund Advisors believes that a requirement always to seek the lowest possible commission cost could impede effective portfolio management and preclude the Fund and ProFund Advisors from obtaining a high quality of brokerage and execution services. In seeking to determine the reasonableness of brokerage commissions paid in any transaction, ProFund Advisors relies upon its experience and knowledge regarding commissions generally charged by various brokers and on its judgment in evaluating the brokerage and execution services received from the broker. Such determinations are necessarily subjective and imprecise, as in most cases an exact dollar value for those services is not ascertainable. In addition to commission rates, when selecting a broker for a particular transaction ProFund Advisors considers but is not limited to the following efficiency factors: the broker's availability, willingness to commit capital, reputation and integrity, facilities reliability, access to research, execution capacity and responsiveness.

ProFund Advisors may give consideration to placing portfolio transactions with those brokers and dealers that also furnish research and other execution related services to the Fund or ProFund Advisors. Such services may include, but are not limited to, any one or more of the following: information as to the availability of securities for purchase or sale; statistical or factual information or opinions pertaining to investment; information about market conditions generally; equipment that facilitates and improves trade execution; and appraisals or evaluations of portfolio securities.

For purchases and sales of derivatives (*i.e.*, financial instruments whose value is derived from the value of an underlying asset, interest rate or index) ProFund Advisors evaluates counterparties on the following factors: reputation and financial strength; execution prices; commission costs; ability to handle complex orders; ability to give prompt and full execution, including the ability to handle difficult trades; accuracy of reports and confirmations provided; reliability, type and quality of research provided; financing costs and other associated costs related to the transaction; and whether the total cost or proceeds in each transaction is the most favorable under the circumstances.

Consistent with a Fund's investment objective, ProFund Advisors may enter into guarantee close agreements with certain brokers. In all such cases, the agreement calls for the execution price at least to match the closing price of the security. In some cases, depending upon the circumstances, the broker may obtain a price that is better than the closing price and which under the agreement provides additional benefits to clients. ProFund Advisors will generally distribute such benefits pro rata to applicable client trades. In addition, ProFund Advisors, any of its affiliates or employees and each Fund have a policy not to enter into any agreement or other understanding—whether written or oral—under which brokerage transactions or remuneration are directed to a broker to pay for distribution of a Fund's shares.

------

**BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS**

A Fund may experience substantial differences in brokerage commissions from year to year. High portfolio turnover and correspondingly greater brokerage commissions, to a great extent, depend on the purchase, redemption, and exchange activity of a Fund's investors, as well as each Fund's investment objective and strategies.

The brokerage commissions paid for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2025 for each Fund that was operational as of each date are set forth below.

**SECURITIES OF REGULAR BROKER-DEALERS**

Each Fund is required to identify any securities of its "regular brokers and dealers" (as such term is defined in the 1940 Act) which they may hold at the close of their most recent fiscal year. "Regular brokers or dealers" of the Trust are the ten brokers or dealers that, during the most recent fiscal year: (i) received the greatest dollar amounts of brokerage commissions from the Trust's portfolio transactions; (ii) engaged as principal in the largest dollar amounts of portfolio transactions of the Trust; or (iii) sold the largest dollar amounts of the Trust's Shares.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, each of the following Funds were operational during that period and held securities of regular brokers or dealers to the Trust:

**ORGANIZATION**

The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust and registered open-end investment company under the 1940 Act. The Trust was organized on April 17, 1997 and has authorized capital of unlimited shares of beneficial interest of no par value which may be issued in more than one class or series. Currently, the Trust consists of multiple separately managed series. The Board may designate additional series of beneficial interest and classify shares of a particular series into one or more classes of that series.

All shares of the Trust are freely transferable. The shares do not have preemptive rights or cumulative voting rights, and none of the shares have any preference to conversion, exchange, dividends, retirements, liquidation, redemption, or any other feature. The shares have equal voting rights, except that, in a matter affecting a particular series or class of shares, only shares of that series or class may be entitled to vote on the matter.

Under Delaware law, the Trust is not required to hold an annual shareholders meeting if the 1940 Act does not require such a meeting. Generally, there will not be annual meetings of Trust shareholders. Trust shareholders may remove Trustees from office by votes cast at a meeting of Trust shareholders or by written consent. If requested by shareholders of at least 10% of the outstanding shares of the Trust, the Trust will call a meeting of ProFunds' shareholders for the purpose of voting upon the question of removal of a Trustee of the Trust and will assist in communications with other Trust shareholders.

The Declaration of Trust of the Trust disclaims liability of the shareholders or the officers of the Trust for acts or obligations of the Trust which are binding only on the assets and property of the Trust. The Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification of the Trust's property for all loss and expense of any shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of the Trust. The risk of a Trust shareholder incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances where a series would not be able to meet the Trust's obligations and this risk, thus, should be considered remote.

------

If a Fund does not grow to a size to permit it to be economically viable, the Fund may cease operations. In such an event, investors may be required to liquidate or transfer their investments at an inopportune time.

**DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE**

Each Fund normally calculates its daily share price for each class of shares at the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) every day the NYSE is open for business except for any day during which the relevant bond markets are closed and the NYSE is open (currently expected to be Columbus Day and Veterans Day).

To the extent that portfolio securities of a ProFund VP are traded in other markets on days when the ProFund VP's principal trading market(s) is closed, the value of a ProFund VP's shares may be affected on days when investors do not have access to the ProFund VP to purchase or redeem shares. This may also be the case for each ProFund VP (other than ProFund VP U.S. Government Plus, ProFund VP Rising Rates Opportunity and ProFund VP Government Money Market) when foreign securities trade while ADRs are not trading due to markets being closed in the United States.

The NAV per share of a ProFund VP serves as the basis for the purchase and redemption price of its shares. The NAV per share of a ProFund VP is calculated by dividing the value of the ProFund VP's assets, less all liabilities attributed to the ProFund VP, by the number of outstanding shares of the ProFund VP. The ProFund VP records its investment transactions no later than the next business day after the transaction order is placed. When a ProFund VP experiences net shareholder inflows, it generally records investment transactions on the next business day after the transaction order is placed. When a ProFund VP experiences net shareholder outflows, it generally records investment transactions on the business day the transaction order is placed. This is intended to deal equitably with related transaction costs by having them borne in part by the investor generating those costs for the ProFund VP. ProFund VP Government Money Market's NAV per share will normally be $1.00. There is no assurance that the $1.00 NAV will be maintained.

The securities in the portfolio of a non-money market ProFund VP, except as otherwise noted, that are listed or traded on a stock exchange or the Nasdaq National Market System, are generally valued at the closing price, if available, on the exchange or market where the security is principally traded (including the Nasdaq Official Closing Price). If there have been no sales for that day on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, then the value may be determined with reference to the last sale price, or the closing price, if applicable, on any other exchange or system. If there have been no sales for that day on any exchange or system, a security may be valued using fair value procedures. Securities regularly traded in the OTC markets (for example, certain equity securities, fixed-income securities, non-exchange-listed foreign securities and certain derivative instruments), including securities listed on an exchange but that are primarily traded OTC (other than those traded on the Nasdaq) are generally valued on the basis of the mean between the bid and asked quotes based upon quotes furnished by dealers actively trading those instruments. Futures contracts and options on securities, indexes and futures contracts are generally valued at their last sale price prior to the time at which the NAV per share of a class of shares of a ProFund VP is determined. If there is no sale on that day, futures contracts and exchange-traded options will be valued using fair value procedures. Routine valuation of certain derivatives is performed using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. A ProFund VP may value its financial instruments based upon foreign securities by using market prices of domestically traded financial instruments with comparable foreign securities market exposure.

Short-term debt securities maturing in sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of a ProFund VP's shares may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar (and, therefore, the NAV of ProFunds VP that hold these securities) may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares. In

------

particular, calculation of the NAV of the ProFunds VP may not take place contemporaneously with the determination of the prices of foreign securities used in NAV calculations.

When the Advisor determines that the market price of a security is not readily available or deems the price unreliable, it may, in good faith, establish a fair value for that security in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Board of Trustees. The use of a fair valuation method may be appropriate if, for example, market quotations do not accurately reflect fair value for an investment, an investment's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), a trading halt closes an exchange or market early, or other events result in an exchange or market delaying its normal close. The Trust has elected to pay redemptions by a shareholder of record in cash, limited in amount with respect to each shareholder during any 90-day period to the lesser of $250,000 or one percent of the net asset value of the Fund at the beginning of such period.

**AMORTIZED COST VALUATION** 

ProFund VP Government Money Market will use the amortized cost method in valuing its portfolio securities, which does not take into account unrealized capital gains or losses. This method involves valuing each security held by ProFund VP Government Money Market at its cost at the time of its purchase and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. Accordingly, immaterial fluctuations in the market value of the securities held by ProFund VP Government Money Market will not be reflected in ProFund VP Government Money Market's NAV. The Board of Trustees will monitor the valuation of assets using this method and will make such changes as it deems necessary to assure that the assets of ProFund VP Government Money Market are valued fairly in good faith.

ProFund VP Government Money Market's use of the amortized cost method of valuing its securities is permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Under this rule, ProFund VP Government Money Market must maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of 60 days or less, purchase only instruments having remaining maturities of 397 days or less and invest only in securities determined by or under the supervision of the Board of Trustees to be of high quality with minimal credit risks.

Pursuant to the rule, the Board of Trustees also has established procedures designed to stabilize, to the extent reasonably possible, the investors' price per share as computed for the purpose of sales and redemptions at $1.00. These procedures include the review of ProFund VP Government Money Market's holdings by the Board of Trustees, at such intervals as it deems appropriate, to determine whether the value of ProFund VP Government Money Market's assets calculated by using available market quotations or market equivalents deviates from such valuation based on amortized cost.

The rule also provides that the extent of any deviation between the value of ProFund VP Government Money Market's assets based on available market quotations or market equivalents and such valuation based on amortized cost must be examined by the Board of Trustees. In the event the Board of Trustees determines that a deviation exists that may result in material dilution or other unfair results to investors or existing shareholders, pursuant to the rule, the Board of Trustees must cause ProFund VP Government Money Market to take such corrective action as the Board of Trustees regards as necessary and appropriate, including: selling portfolio instruments prior to maturity to realize capital gains or losses or to shorten average portfolio maturity; withholding dividends or paying distributions from capital or capital gains; redeeming shares in kind; or valuing ProFund VP Government Money Market's assets by using available market quotations. In such event, the Board of Trustees may also suspend redemptions and postpone payment of redemption proceeds after irrevocably determining to liquidate the Fund.

**TAXATION**

**Overview.** Set forth below is a general discussion of certain U.S. federal income tax issues concerning each Fund and the purchase, ownership, and disposition of Fund shares. This discussion does not purport to be complete or to deal with all aspects of federal income taxation that may be relevant to shareholders in light of their particular circumstances. This discussion is based upon present provisions of the Code, the regulations promulgated thereunder, and judicial and administrative ruling authorities, all of which are subject to change, which change may be retroactive. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors with regard to the federal tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, or disposition of Fund shares, including in connection with a Variable Contract (as defined below) or a qualified pension or retirement plan, as well as the tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, foreign country, or other taxing jurisdiction.

**Taxation of the shareholders.** Shares of each Fund will be available only to (i) participating insurance companies and their separate accounts that fund variable annuity contracts, variable life insurance policies or other variable insurance contracts (collectively, Variable Contracts), (ii) qualified pension or retirement plans, and (iii) the Advisor. Under current law, the shareholders that are life insurance company segregated asset accounts generally will not be subject to income tax currently on income from a Fund to the extent such income is applied to increase the values of Variable Contracts. Qualified pension or retirement plans qualify separately for exemption from tax on such income.

The discussion below is generally based on the assumption that the shares of each Fund will be respected as owned for U.S. federal income tax purposes by insurance company separate accounts and qualified pension or retirement plans. If this is not the case, the person or persons determined to own each Fund shares will be currently taxed on Fund distributions, and on the proceeds of any redemption of Fund shares, under applicable federal income tax rules that may not be described herein.

For information concerning the federal income tax consequences to a holder of a Variable Contract or a participant in a qualified pension or retirement plan, refer to the prospectus for the particular contract or to the plan materials. Because insurance companies (and certain other investors) will be the only shareholders of a Fund, no attempt is made here to particularly describe the tax consequences at the shareholder level of an investment in a Fund.

**Taxation of the Fund.** Each Fund has elected and intends to qualify and to be eligible each year to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. A RIC generally is not subject to federal income tax on income and gains distributed in a timely manner to its shareholders. To qualify for treatment as a RIC, each Fund generally must, among other things:

(a) derive in each taxable year at least 90% of its gross income from (i) dividends, interest, payments with respect to certain securities loans, and gains from the sale or other disposition of stock, securities or foreign currencies, or other income (including, but not limited to, gain from options, futures or forward contracts) derived with respect to its business of investing in such stock, securities or currencies and (ii) net income derived from interests in "qualified publicly traded partnerships" as defined below (the income described in this subparagraph (a), "Qualifying Income");

(b) diversify its holdings so that, at the end of each quarter of each Fund's taxable year, (i) at least 50% of the fair market value of each Fund's assets is represented by cash and cash items (including receivables), U.S. government securities, the securities of other RICs and other securities, with such other securities limited, in respect of any one issuer, to an amount not greater than 5% of the value of each Fund's total assets and not greater than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer, and (ii) not greater than 25% of the value of its total assets is invested, including through corporations in which the Fund owns a 20% or more voting stock interest, in (x) the securities (other than U.S. government securities and the securities of other RICs) of any one issuer or of two or more issuers that each Fund controls and that are engaged in the same, similar or related trades or businesses, or (y) the securities of one or more qualified publicly traded partnerships (as defined below); and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

(c) distribute with respect to each taxable year at least 90% of the sum of its investment company taxable income (as that term is defined in the Code without regard to the deduction for dividends paid — generally, taxable ordinary income and the excess, if any, of net short-term capital gains over net long-term capital losses) and net tax-exempt interest income for such year. Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of such income.

In general, for purposes of the 90% gross income requirement described in subparagraph (a) above, income derived from a partnership will be treated as Qualifying Income only to the extent such income is attributable to items of income of the partnership which would be Qualifying Income if realized directly by the RIC. However, 100% of the net income of a RIC derived from an interest in a "qualified publicly traded partnership" (a partnership (x) the interests in which are traded on an established securities market or readily tradable on a secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof, and (y) that derives less than 90% of its income from the Qualifying Income described in clause (i) of subparagraph (a) above) will be treated as Qualifying Income. In general, such entities will be treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes because they meet the passive income requirement under Code section 7704(c)(2). In addition, although in general the passive loss rules of the Code do not apply to RICs, such rules do apply to a RIC with respect to items attributable to an interest in a qualified publicly traded partnership. Moreover, the amounts derived from investments in foreign currency will be treated as Qualifying Income for purposes of subparagraph (a) above, unless and until the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") issues guidance contrary to such treatment, including retroactively; any such guidance could affect a Fund's ability to meet the 90% gross income test and adversely affect the manner in which that Fund is managed.

For purposes of the diversification test in subparagraph (b) above, identification of the issuer (or, in some cases, issuers) of a Fund investment can depend on the terms and conditions of that investment. In some cases, identification of the issuer (or issuers) is uncertain under current law, and an adverse determination or future guidance by the IRS with respect to the identity of the issuer for a particular type of investment may adversely affect each Fund's ability to meet the diversification test in subparagraph (b) above. Also, for purposes of the diversification test in subparagraph (b) above, the term "outstanding voting securities of such issuer" will include the equity securities of a qualified publicly traded partnership.

A Fund's pursuit of its investment strategies will potentially be limited by the Fund's intention to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded a RIC and its shareholders, and could adversely affect the Fund's ability to so qualify. A Fund can make certain investments, the treatment of which for these purposes is unclear. If, in any taxable year, a Fund were to fail to meet the 90% gross income, diversification, or distribution test described above, the Fund could in some cases cure such failure, including by paying a Fund-level tax, paying interest, making additional distributions, or disposing of certain assets. If a Fund were ineligible to or did not cure such a failure for any taxable year, or otherwise failed to qualify as a RIC that is accorded special tax treatment, (1) each Fund would be subject to tax on its taxable income at the federal corporate tax rate, and distributions to its shareholders would not be deductible by the Fund in computing its taxable income, and (2) each insurance company separate account invested in each Fund would fail to satisfy the separate diversification requirements described below, with the result that the contracts supported by that account would no longer be eligible for tax deferral. In order to re-qualify for taxation as a RIC, each Fund may be required to recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest, and make certain distributions.

As noted above, if a Fund qualifies as a RIC that is accorded special tax treatment, the Fund will not be subject to federal income tax on income that is distributed in a timely manner to its shareholders in the form of dividends.

See each Fund's most recent annual shareholder report for each Fund's available capital loss carryovers as of the end of its most recently ended fiscal year.

Investments by a Fund in options, futures, forward contracts, swaps (including CDS transactions) and other derivative financial instruments are subject to numerous special and complex tax rules. Because the tax rules applicable to such instruments may be uncertain under current law, an adverse determination or

------

future IRS guidance with respect to these rules may affect whether the Fund has made sufficient distributions, and otherwise satisfied the relevant requirements, to maintain its qualification as a RIC and avoid fund-level tax.

An investment by a Fund in zero coupon bonds, deferred interest bonds or payment-in-kind bonds will, and certain securities purchased at a market discount may, cause each Fund to recognize income prior to the receipt of cash payments with respect to those securities. To distribute this income and avoid a tax on the Fund, the Fund may be required to liquidate portfolio securities that it might otherwise have continued to hold, potentially resulting in additional taxable gain or loss to the Fund.

A Fund may invest directly or indirectly in residual interests in real estate mortgage investment conduits ("REMICs") (including by investing in residual interests in CMOs with respect to which an election to be treated as a REMIC is in effect) or equity interests in taxable mortgage pools ("TMPs"). Under a notice issued by the IRS in the fall of 2006 and Treasury regulations that have yet to be issued, but may apply retroactively, a portion of each Fund's income (including income allocated to the Fund from a REIT or other pass-through entity) that is attributable to a residual interest in a REMIC or an equity interest in a TMP (referred to in the Code as an "excess inclusion") will be subject to U.S. federal income tax in all events. The notice specifically provides, and the regulations are expected to provide, that excess inclusion income of a RIC will be allocated to shareholders of the RIC in proportion to the dividends received by such shareholders, with the same consequences as if the shareholders had held the related interest directly. Thus, excess inclusion income will not qualify for an exemption from tax under the provisions generally applicable to life insurance company separate accounts or qualified retirement plans, respectively.

In general, excess inclusion income allocated to shareholders (i) cannot be offset by net operating losses (subject to a limited exception for certain thrift institutions), (ii) will constitute unrelated business taxable income ("UBTI") to entities (including a qualified pension plan, an individual retirement account, a 401(k) plan, a Keogh plan or other tax-exempt entity) subject to tax on UBTI, thereby potentially requiring such an entity that is allocated excess inclusion income, and otherwise might not be required to file a tax return, to file a tax return and pay tax on such income, and (iii) in the case of a life insurance company separate account funding a Variable Contract, cannot be offset by an adjustment to the reserves and thus is currently taxed notwithstanding the more general tax deferral available to insurance company separate accounts funding Variable Contracts.

Amounts not distributed on a timely basis by a RIC in accordance with a calendar year distribution requirement are subject to a nondeductible 4% excise tax at the Fund level. The excise tax generally is inapplicable to any RIC whose sole shareholders are tax-exempt pension trusts, separate accounts of life insurance companies funding Variable Contracts, certain other permitted tax-exempt investors, or other RICs that are also exempt from the excise tax. In determining whether these investors are the sole shareholders of the RIC for purposes of this exception to the excise tax, shares attributable to an investment in the RIC (not exceeding $250,000) made in connection with the organization of the RIC are not taken into account.

Each Fund also intends to comply with the separate diversification requirements imposed by Section 817(h) of the Code and the regulations thereunder on certain insurance company separate accounts. These requirements, which are in addition to the diversification requirements imposed by the 1940 Act and by Subchapter M of the Code, place certain limitations on assets of each insurance company separate account used to fund Variable Contracts. Section 817(h) and those regulations treat the assets of a RIC as assets of the related separate account, provided that all the beneficial interests in a RIC are held by insurance companies and certain other eligible holders. Consequently, each Fund intends to diversify its investments in accordance with the requirements of Section 817(h), which generally require that, after a one year start-up period or except as permitted by the "safe harbor" described below, as of the end of each calendar quarter or within 30 days thereafter, no more than 55% of the total assets of a separate account may be represented by any one investment, no more than 70% by any two investments, no more than 80% by any three investments and no more than 90% by any four investments. For this purpose, all securities of the same issuer are considered a single investment, and each U.S. Government agency and instrumentality is considered a separate issuer. Section 817(h) provides, as a safe harbor, that a separate account will be treated as being adequately

------

diversified if the diversification requirements under Subchapter M are satisfied and no more than 55% of the value of the account's total assets is attributable to cash and cash items (including receivables), U.S. Government securities and securities of other RICs.

If a Fund fails to meet the Section 817(h) diversification requirements, or fails to qualify as a RIC for any taxable year, a separate account investing in that Fund will fail the Section 817(h) requirements, which would generally cause the Variable Contracts to lose their favorable tax status and require a contract holder to include in ordinary income any income accrued under the contracts for the current and all prior taxable years.

Under certain circumstances described in the applicable Treasury regulations, inadvertent failure to satisfy the applicable diversification requirements may be corrected, but such a correction may require a payment to the IRS. Any such failure may also result in adverse tax consequences for the insurance company issuing the contracts.

The IRS has indicated that a degree of investor control over the investment options underlying variable contracts may interfere with the tax-advantaged treatment described above. In particular, the IRS has taken the view that too wide a range of RIC investment options underlying a variable contract indicates investor control, and thus potentially results in treatment of the underlying RIC shares as owned directly by the contract holder for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The IRS has ruled publicly that a contract holder's ability to select from among as many as 20 sub-accounts (each funded through a single RIC), with each such sub-account focused on investments in one sector or geography (including large company stocks, energy stocks, international stocks, small company stocks, mortgage-backed securities, telecommunications stocks, energy stocks, and financial services stocks), does not by itself constitute sufficient control over individual investment decisions so as to cause ownership of such investments to be attributable to contract owners. The IRS and the Treasury Department may in the future provide further guidance as to what it deems to constitute an impermissible level of "investor control" over a separate account's investments in funds and such guidance could affect the tax-advantaged treatment of an investment in the Fund, including retroactively. If the contract owner is considered the owner of the securities underlying the separate account, income and gains produced by those securities would no longer be tax-advantaged and would instead be included currently in the contract owner's gross income. A Fund's pursuit of its investment strategies will potentially be limited by that Fund's intention to permit variable contract owners to qualify for such tax-advantaged treatment.

The above discussion addresses only one of several factors that the IRS considers in determining whether a contract holder has an impermissible level of investor control over a separate account. Contract holders should consult with their insurance companies, their tax advisors, as well as the prospectus relating to their particular contract for more information concerning this investor control issue.

**Tax Shelter Disclosure.** Under U.S. Treasury regulations, if a shareholder recognizes a loss of at least $2 million in any single taxable year or $4 million in any combination of taxable years for an individual shareholder or at least $10 million in any taxable year or $20 million in any combination of taxable years for a corporate shareholder, the shareholder must file with the IRS a disclosure statement on IRS Form 8886. Direct shareholders of portfolio securities are in many cases excepted from this reporting requirement, but under current guidance, shareholders of a RIC are not excepted. This filing requirement applies even though, as a practical matter, any such loss would not, for example, reduce the taxable income of an insurance company. Future guidance may extend the current exception from this reporting requirement to shareholders of most or all RICs. The fact that a loss is reportable under these regulations does not affect the legal determination of whether the taxpayer's treatment of the loss is proper. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors to determine the applicability of these regulations in light of their individual circumstances.

**Other Reporting.** Shareholders that are U.S. persons and own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the Fund could be required to report annually their "financial interest" in the Fund's "foreign financial accounts," if any, on FinCEN Form 114, Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR). Shareholders should consult a tax advisor regarding the applicability to them of this reporting requirement.

**Other Tax Information.** The foregoing discussion is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of investing in a Fund based on the law in effect as of the date of this SAI. The discussion does not address in detail special tax rules applicable to certain classes of investors, including insurance companies, owners of Variable Contracts, and participants in qualified pension or retirement plans. You should consult your tax advisor for more information about your own tax situation, including possible other federal, state, local and, where applicable, foreign tax consequences of investing in a Fund.

**OTHER INFORMATION**

**Total Return Calculations** 

From time to time, a Fund may advertise its total return for prior periods. Any such advertisement would include at least average annual total return quotations for one, five, and ten-year periods, or for the life of the Fund. Other total return quotations, aggregate or average, over other time periods for the Fund also may be included.

The total return of a Fund for a particular period represents the increase (or decrease) in the value of a hypothetical investment in the Fund from the beginning to the end of the period. Total return is calculated by subtracting the value of the initial investment from the ending value and showing the difference as a percentage of the initial investment; this calculation assumes that the initial investment is made at the current NAV and that all income dividends or capital gains distributions during the period are reinvested in shares of the Fund at NAV. Total return is based on historical earnings and NAV fluctuations and is not intended to indicate future performance. No adjustments are made to reflect any income taxes payable by shareholders on dividends and distributions paid by the Fund.

Average annual total return quotations for periods in excess of one year are computed by finding the average annual compounded rate of return over the period that would equal the initial amount invested to the ending redeemable value.

Performance data represents past performance and is not an indication of future results. Because of ongoing market volatility, the performance of a Fund may be subject to substantial short-term changes.

**Yield Calculations** 

From time to time, ProFund VP Government Money Market may advertise its "yield" and "effective yield." Both yield figures are based on historical earnings and are not intended to indicate future performance. The "yield" of ProFund VP Government Money Market refers to the income generated by an investment in ProFund VP Government Money Market over a seven-day period (which period will be stated in the advertisement). This income is then "annualized." That is, the amount of income generated by the investment during that week is assumed to be generated each week over a 52-week period and is shown as a percentage of the investment. The "effective yield" is calculated similarly, but, when annualized, the income earned by an investment in ProFund VP Government Money Market is assumed to be reinvested. The "effective yield" will be slightly higher than the "yield" because of the compounding effect of this assumed reinvestment. Since yield fluctuates, yield data cannot necessarily be used to compare an investment in ProFund VP Government Money Market's shares with bank deposits, savings accounts, and similar investment alternatives which often provide an agreed or guaranteed fixed yield for a stated period of time. Shareholders of ProFund VP Government Money Market should remember that yield generally is a function of the kind and quality of the instrument held in portfolio, portfolio maturity, operating expenses, and market conditions.

**Comparisons of Investment Performance** 

Performance of a Fund may be compared in publications to the performance of various unmanaged indexes and investments for which reliable performance data is available and to averages, performance rankings, or other information prepared by recognized mutual fund statistical services. In conjunction with performance reports, promotional literature, and/or analyses of shareholder service for a Fund, comparisons of the performance information of the Fund for a given period to the performance of recognized, unmanaged indexes for the same period may be made, including, but are not limited to, indexes provided by Dow Jones & Company, Standard & Poor's Corporation, Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. ("Lipper"), Lehman Brothers, The Frank Russell Company, Value Line Investment Survey, NYSE MKT U.S., the Philadelphia Stock Exchange, Morgan Stanley Capital International, Wilshire Associates, the Financial Times-Stock Exchange, ICE Futures U.S., Inc., the Nikkei Inc., the Paris CAC 40, Deutsche Aktien Index, Bank of New York Mellon and The Nasdaq Stock Market, all of which are unmanaged market indicators. Such comparisons can be a

------

useful measure of the quality of a Fund's investment performance. In particular, performance information for a Fund may be compared to various unmanaged indexes, including, but not limited to, the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index, the Dow Jones Industrial Average<sup>®</sup>, the Dow Jones U.S.<sup>SM</sup> Index, the Russell 2000<sup>®</sup> Index and the Nasdaq-100 Index<sup>®</sup>, among others.

In addition, rankings, ratings, and comparisons of investment performance and/or assessments of the quality of shareholder service appearing in publications such as Money, Forbes, Kiplinger's Magazine, Personal Investor, Morningstar, Inc., and similar sources that utilize information compiled (i) internally, (ii) by Lipper, or (iii) by other recognized analytical services, may be used in sales literature. The total return of each Fund also may be compared to the performances of broad groups of comparable mutual funds with similar investment goals, as such performance is tracked and published by such independent organizations as Lipper and CDA Investment Technologies, Inc., among others. In addition, the broad-based Lipper groupings may be used for comparison to a Fund.

Information about the performance of a Fund will be contained in the Fund's annual and semiannual reports to shareholders, which may be obtained without charge by writing to the Fund at the address or telephoning the Fund at the telephone number set forth on the cover page of this SAI.

**APPENDIX A**

**DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES RATINGS** 

***S&P GLOBAL RATINGS ("S&P")*** 

*Long-Term Issue Credit Ratings\** 

AAA – An obligation rated 'AAA' has the highest rating assigned by S&P Global Ratings. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is extremely strong.

AA – An obligation rated 'AA' differs from the highest-rated obligations only to a small degree. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is very strong.

A – An obligation rated 'A' is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher-rated categories. However, the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is still strong.

BBB – An obligation rated 'BBB' exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to weaken the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.

BB; B; CCC; CC; and C – Obligations rated 'BB', 'B', 'CCC', 'CC', and 'C' are regarded as having significant speculative characteristics. 'BB' indicates the least degree of speculation and 'C' the highest. While such obligations will likely have some quality and protective characteristics, these may be outweighed by large uncertainties or major exposure to adverse conditions.

BB – An obligation rated 'BB' is less vulnerable to nonpayment than other speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions that could lead to the obligor's inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.

B – An obligation rated 'B' is more vulnerable to nonpayment than obligations rated 'BB', but the obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation. Adverse business, financial, or economic conditions will likely impair the obligor's capacity or willingness to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.

CCC – An obligation rated 'CCC' is currently vulnerable to nonpayment and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitments on the obligation. In the event of adverse business, financial, or economic conditions, the obligor is not likely to have the capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.

CC – An obligation rated 'CC' is currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment. The 'CC' rating is used when a default has not yet occurred but S&P Global Ratings expects default to be a virtual certainty, regardless of the anticipated time to default.

C – An obligation rated 'C' is currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment, and the obligation is expected to have lower relative seniority or lower ultimate recovery compared with obligations that are rated higher.

D – An obligation rated 'D' is in default or in breach of an imputed promise. For non-hybrid capital instruments, the 'D' rating category is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due, unless S&P Global Ratings believes that such payments will be made within the next five business days in the absence of a stated grace period or within the earlier of the stated grace period or the next 30 calendar days. The 'D' rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of similar action and where default on an obligation is a virtual certainty, for example due to automatic stay provisions. A rating on an obligation is lowered to 'D' if it is subject to a distressed debt restructuring.

------

\*Ratings from 'AA' to 'CCC' may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the rating categories.

*Municipal Short-Term Note Ratings* 

SP-1 – Strong capacity to pay principal and interest. An issue determined to possess a very strong capacity to pay debt service is given a plus (+) designation.

SP-2 – Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest, with some vulnerability to adverse financial and economic changes over the term of the notes.

SP-3 – Speculative capacity to pay principal and interest.

D - 'D' is assigned upon failure to pay the note when due, completion of a distressed debt restructuring, or the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of similar action and where default on an obligation is a virtual certainty, for example due to automatic stay provisions.

*Short-Term Issue Credit Ratings* 

A-1 – A short-term obligation rated 'A-1' is rated in the highest category by S&P Global Ratings. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is strong. Within this category, certain obligations are designated with a plus sign (+). This indicates that the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on these obligations is extremely strong.

A-2 – A short-term obligation rated 'A-2' is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher rating categories. However, the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is satisfactory.

A-3 – A short-term obligation rated 'A-3' exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to weaken an obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.

B – A short-term obligation rated 'B' is regarded as vulnerable and has significant speculative characteristics. The obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitments; however, it faces major ongoing uncertainties that could lead to the obligor's inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitments.

C – A short-term obligation rated 'C' is currently vulnerable to nonpayment and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.

D – A short-term obligation rated 'D' is in default or in breach of an imputed promise. For non-hybrid capital instruments, the 'D' rating category is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due, unless S&P Global Ratings believes that such payments will be made within any stated grace period. However, any stated grace period longer than five business days will be treated as five business days. The 'D' rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of a similar action and where default on an obligation is a virtual certainty, for example due to automatic stay provisions. A rating on an obligation is lowered to 'D' if it is subject to a distressed debt restructuring.

***MOODY'S RATINGS ("MOODY'S")*** 

*Long-Term Rating Scale* 

Long-term ratings are assigned to issuers or obligations with an original maturity of eleven months or more and reflect both on the likelihood of a default or impairment on contractual financial obligations and the expected financial loss suffered in the event of default or impairment.

------

Aaa – Obligations rated Aaa are judged to be of the highest quality, subject to the lowest level of credit risk.

Aa – Obligations rated Aa are judged to be of high quality and are subject to very low credit risk.

A – Obligations rated A are judged to be upper-medium grade and are subject to low credit risk.

Baa – Obligations rated Baa are judged to be medium grade and subject to moderate credit risk and as such may possess certain speculative characteristics.

Ba – Obligations rated Ba are judged to be speculative and are subject to substantial credit risk.

B – Obligations rated B are considered speculative and are subject to high credit risk.

Caa – Obligations rated Caa are judged to be speculative of poor standing and are subject to very high credit risk.

Ca – Obligations rated Ca are highly speculative and are likely in, or very near, default, with some prospect of recovery of principal and interest.

C – Obligations rated C are the lowest rated and are typically in default, with little prospect for recovery of principal or interest.

Note: Moody's appends numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 to each generic rating classification from Aa through Caa. The modifier 1 indicates that the obligation ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier 3 indicates a ranking in the lower end of that generic rating category.

*Short-Term Rating Scale* 

Short-term ratings are assigned to obligations with an original maturity of thirteen months or less and reflect both on the likelihood of a default or impairment on contractual financial obligations and the expected financial loss suffered in the event of default or impairment.

P-1 – Ratings of Prime-1 reflect a superior ability to repay short-term obligations.

P-2 – Ratings of Prime-2 reflect a strong ability to repay short-term obligations.

P-3 – Ratings of Prime-3 reflect an acceptable ability to repay short-term obligations.

NP – Issuers (or supporting institutions) rated Not Prime do not fall within any of the Prime rating categories.

*Municipal Investment Grade Rating Scale* 

MIG 1 – This designation denotes superior credit quality. Excellent protection is afforded by established cash flows, highly reliable liquidity support, or demonstrated broad-based access to the market for refinancing.

MIG 2 – This designation denotes strong credit quality. Margins of protection are ample, although not as large as in the preceding group.

MIG 3 – This designation denotes acceptable credit quality. Liquidity and cash-flow protection may be narrow, and market access for refinancing is likely to be less well-established.

SG – This designation denotes speculative-grade credit quality. Debt instruments in this category may lack sufficient margins of protection.

*Variable Municipal Investment Grade Rating Scale* 

VMIG 1 – This designation denotes superior credit quality. Excellent protection is afforded by the superior short-term credit strength of the liquidity provider and structural and legal protections.

------

VMIG 2 – This designation denotes strong credit quality. Good protection is afforded by the strong short-term credit strength of the liquidity provider and structural and legal protections.

VMIG 3 – This designation denotes acceptable credit quality. Adequate protection is afforded by the satisfactory short-term credit strength of the liquidity provider and structural and legal protections.

SG – This designation denotes speculative-grade credit quality. Demand features rated in this category may be supported by a liquidity provider that does not have a sufficiently strong short-term rating or may lack the structural or legal protections.

***FITCH RATINGS, INC. ("FITCH'S")*** 

*Issuer Default Ratings* 

AAA – Highest credit quality. 'AAA' ratings denote the lowest expectation of default risk. They are assigned only in cases of exceptionally strong capacity for payment of financial commitments. This capacity is highly unlikely to be adversely affected by foreseeable events.

AA – Very high credit quality. 'AA' ratings denote expectations of very low default risk. They indicate very strong capacity for payment of financial commitments. This capacity is not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable events.

A – High credit quality. 'A' ratings denote expectations of low default risk. The capacity for payment of financial commitments is considered strong. This capacity may, nevertheless, be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic conditions than is the case for higher ratings.

BBB – Good credit quality. 'BBB' ratings indicate that expectations of default risk are currently low. The capacity for payment of financial commitments is considered adequate, but adverse business or economic conditions are more likely to impair this capacity.

BB – Speculative. 'BB' ratings indicate an elevated vulnerability to default risk, particularly in the event of adverse changes in business or economic conditions over time; however, business or financial flexibility exists that supports the servicing of financial commitments.

B – Highly speculative. 'B' ratings indicate that material default risk is present, but a limited margin of safety remains. Financial commitments are currently being met; however, capacity for continued payment is vulnerable to deterioration in the business and economic environment.

CCC – Substantial credit risk. Very low margin for safety. Default is a real possibility.

CC – Very high levels of credit risk. Default of some kind appears probable.

C – Near default. A default or default-like process has begun, or for a closed funding vehicle, payment capacity is irrevocably impaired.

RD – Restricted default. 'RD' ratings indicate an issuer that in Fitch's opinion has experienced an uncured payment default or distressed debt exchange on a bond, loan or other material financial obligation, but has not entered into bankruptcy filings, administration, receivership, liquidation, or other formal winding-up procedure, and has not otherwise ceased operating.

D – Default. 'D' ratings indicate an issuer that in Fitch's opinion has entered into bankruptcy filings, administration, receivership, liquidation or other formal winding-up procedure or that has otherwise ceased business and debt is still outstanding.

------

***Morningstar DBRS, Inc.*** 

*Long Term Obligations Scale* 

AAA – Highest credit quality. The capacity for the payment of financial obligations is exceptionally high and unlikely to be adversely affected by future events.

AA – Superior credit quality. The capacity for the payment of financial obligations is considered high. Credit quality differs from AAA only to a small degree. Unlikely to be significantly vulnerable to future events.

A – Good credit quality. The capacity for the payment of financial obligations is substantial, but of lesser credit quality than AA. May be vulnerable to future events, but qualifying negative factors are considered manageable.

BBB – Adequate credit quality. The capacity for the payment of financial obligations is considered acceptable. May be vulnerable to future events.

BB – Speculative, non-investment grade credit quality. The capacity for the payment of financial obligations is uncertain. Vulnerable to future events.

B – Highly speculative credit quality. There is a high level of uncertainty as to the capacity to meet financial obligations.

CCC– Very highly speculative credit quality. In danger of defaulting on financial obligations.

CC / C – Distressed. The CC rating level is generally applied to financial obligations that are seen as highly likely to default or that are subordinated to financial obligations rated in the CCC to B range. The C rating level characterizes financial obligations for which default has not technically taken place but is considered unavoidable.

D/SD – When the issuer has filed under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or winding up statute or there is a failure to satisfy a financial obligation after the exhaustion of grace periods, or in cases of a "distressed exchange", a downgrade to D (Default) may occur. Morningstar DBRS may also use SD (Selective Default) in cases where only some securities are affected, for example in a "distressed exchange".

*Commercial Paper and Short-Term Debt Rating Scale* 

R-1 (high) – Highest credit quality. The capacity for the payment of short-term financial obligations as they fall due is exceptionally high. Unlikely to be adversely affected by future events.

R-1 (middle) – Superior credit quality. The capacity for the payment of short-term financial obligations as they fall due is very high. Differs from R-1 (high) by a relatively modest degree. Unlikely to be significantly vulnerable to future events.

R-1 (low) – Good credit quality. The capacity for the payment of short-term financial obligations as they fall due is substantial. Overall strength is not as favorable as higher rating categories. May be vulnerable to future events, but qualifying negative factors are considered manageable.

R-2 (high) – Upper end of adequate credit quality. The capacity for the payment of short-term financial obligations as they fall due is acceptable. May be vulnerable to future events.

R-2 (middle) – Adequate credit quality. The capacity for the payment of short-term financial obligations as they fall due is acceptable. May be vulnerable to future events or may be exposed to other factors that could reduce credit quality.

R-2 (low) – Lower end of adequate credit quality. The capacity for the payment of short-term financial obligations as they fall due is acceptable. May be vulnerable to future events. A number of challenges are present that could affect the issuer's ability to meet such obligations.

------

R-3 – Lowest end of adequate credit quality. There is a capacity for the payment of short-term financial obligations as they fall due. May be vulnerable to future events and the certainty of meeting such obligations could be impacted by a variety of developments.

R-4 – Speculative credit quality. The capacity for the payment of short-term financial obligations as they fall due is uncertain.

R-5 – Highly speculative credit quality. There is a high level of uncertainty as to the capacity to meet short-term financial obligations as they fall due.

D – When the issuer has filed under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or winding-up statute, or there is a failure to satisfy an obligation after the exhaustion of grace periods, a downgrade to D may occur. Morningstar DBRS may also use SD (Selective Default) in cases where only some securities are impacted, such as the case of a "distressed exchange."

**<u>Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures to Maximize Shareholder Value and Protect Shareowner Interests</u>** 

It is the policy of ProFund Advisors LLC and ProShare Advisors LLC (collectively, the "Advisor") to seek to maximize shareholder value and protect shareholder interests when voting proxies on behalf of clients. The Advisor seeks to achieve this goal by utilizing a set of proxy voting guidelines (the "Guidelines") maintained and implemented by an independent service provider, Institutional Shareholder Services ("ISS"). The Advisor believes that these Policies and Procedures, including the Guidelines, are reasonably designed to ensure that proxy matters are conducted in the best interests of clients and in accordance with the Advisor's fiduciary duties, applicable rules under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, and, in the case of its registered fund clients, applicable rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

**Proxy Voting Guidelines** 

Proxies generally will be voted in accordance with the ISS Guidelines, an extensive list of common proxy voting issues and recommended voting actions for such issues based on the overall goal of achieving maximum shareholder value and protection of shareholder interests. Common issues in the Guidelines, and factors taken into consideration in voting proxies with respect to these issues, include, but are not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Election of Directors—considering factors such as director qualifications, term of office, age limits.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Proxy Contests—considering factors such as voting for nominees in contested elections and reimbursement of expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Election of Auditors—considering factors such as independence and reputation of the auditing firm.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Proxy Contest Defenses—considering factors such as board structure and cumulative voting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Tender Offer Defenses—considering factors such as poison pills (stock purchase rights plans) and fair price provisions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Miscellaneous Governance Issues—considering factors such as confidential voting and equal access.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Capital Structure—considering factors such as common stock authorization and stock distributions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Executive and Director Compensation—considering factors such as performance goals and employee stock purchase plans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•State of Incorporation—considering factors such as state takeover statutes and voting on reincorporation proposals.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Mergers and Corporate Restructuring—considering factors such as spinoffs and asset sales.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Mutual Fund Proxy Voting—considering factors such as election of directors and proxy contests.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Consumer and Public Safety Issues—considering factors such as social and environmental issues as well as labor issues.

A full description of the Guidelines is maintained by the Advisor and the Advisor has established a committee that monitors the effectiveness of the Guidelines (the "Brokerage Allocation and Proxy Voting Committee" or the "Committee").

The Advisor reserves the right to modify any of the recommendations set forth in the Guidelines with respect to any particular issue in the future, in accordance with the Advisor intent to vote proxies for clients in a manner that the Advisor determines is in the best interests of clients and which seeks to maximize the value of the client's investments. The Advisor is not required to vote every proxy in fulfilling its proxy voting obligations. In some cases, the Advisor may determine that it is in the best interests of a client to refrain from exercising proxy voting rights. For example, the Advisor may determine that the cost of voting certain proxies exceeds the expected benefit to the client (such as where casting a vote on a foreign security would require hiring a translator), and may abstain from voting in such cases.

------

In cases where the Advisor does not receive a solicitation or enough information with respect to a proxy vote within a sufficient time (as reasonably determined by the Advisor) prior to the proxy-voting deadline, the Advisor may be unable to vote. With respect to non- U.S. companies, it is typically difficult and costly to vote proxies due to local regulations, customs or other requirements or restrictions, and such circumstances may outweigh any anticipated economic benefit of voting. The major difficulties and costs may include: (i) appointing a proxy; (ii) obtaining reliable information about the time and location of a meeting; (iii) obtaining relevant information about voting procedures for foreign shareholders; (iv) restrictions on trading securities that are subject to proxy votes (share-blocking periods); (v) arranging for a proxy to vote locally in person; (vi) fees charged by custody banks for providing certain services with regard to voting proxies; and (vii) foregone income from securities lending programs. The Advisor does not vote proxies of non-U.S. companies if it determines that the expected costs of voting outweigh any anticipated economic benefit to the client of voting.

<u>Overview of the Proxy Voting Process</u> 

In relying on ISS to vote client proxies, the Advisor will take reasonable steps and obtain adequate information to verify that ISS has the capacity to provide adequate proxy advice, is independent of the Advisor, has an adequate conflict of interest policy, and does not have the incentive to vote proxies in anyone's interest other than that of the Advisor's client. In addition, the Committee will monitor for conflicts concerning ISS.

As proxy agent, ISS devotes research for proxies based on the level of complexity of the proxy materials to be voted. ISS assigns complex issues such as mergers or restructuring to senior analysts. Recurring issues for which case-by-case analysis is unnecessary are handled by more junior analysts. In every case, an analyst reviews publicly available information such as SEC filings and recent news reports and, if necessary, may contact issuers directly. Such discussions with issuers may be handled by telephone or in a face-to-face meeting. Analysts will seek to speak directly with management when a question is not answered by publicly available information and such information is needed for an informed recommendation.

As part of ISS's quality assurance process, every analysis is reviewed by a director of research or a chief policy advisor. Complex issues such as mergers are assigned to senior staff members. Contested issues are reviewed by research directors. While a senior analyst takes the lead on every proxy contest, a member of management will frequently conduct additional review by participating in calls with principals directly involved with the proxy issue.

Generally, proxies are voted in accordance with the voting recommendations as stated in the Guidelines. ISS will consult the Advisor on non-routine issues. Information about the Guidelines is available on the ISS web site at: http://www.issgovernance.com/file/policy/2015-us-summary-voting-guidelines-updated.pdf.

**Oversight of the Proxy Voting Process** 

The Advisor has established the Brokerage Allocation and Proxy Voting Committee, in part, to oversee the proxy voting process. ISS provides the Advisor quarterly reports, which the Advisor reviews to ensure that client proxies are being voted properly. The Advisor and ISS also perform spot checks on an intra-quarterly basis. ISS's management meets on a regular basis to discuss its approach to new developments and amendments to existing policies. Information on such developments or amendments, in turn, is provided to the Committee.

**Conflicts of Interest** 

From time to time, proxy issues may pose a material conflict of interest between the Advisor and its clients. It shall be the duty of the Committee to monitor for and to identify potential conflicts of interest. The Committee will also determine which conflicts are material (if any). To ensure that proxy voting decisions are based on the best interests of the client in the event a conflict of interest arises, the Advisor will direct ISS to use its independent judgment to vote affected proxies in accordance with the Guidelines. If a registered investment company managed by the Advisor owns shares of another investment company managed by the

------

Advisor, "echo voting" is employed to avoid certain potential conflicts of interest. Echo voting means that the Advisor votes the shares of each such underlying investment company in the same proportion as the vote of all of the other holders of the underlying investment company's shares.

The Committee will disclose to clients any voting issues that created a conflict of interest and the manner in which ISS, on behalf of the Advisor, voted such proxies.

**Securities Lending Program** 

The Advisor acknowledges that, when a registered fund client (a "Fund") lends its portfolio securities, the Fund's Trustees (who generally have delegated proxy voting responsibility to the Advisor) retain a fiduciary obligation to vote proxies relating to such securities and to recall the securities in the event of a shareholder vote on a material event affecting the security on the loan. Under each Fund's securities lending agreements, a Fund generally retains the right to recall a loaned security and to exercise the security's voting rights. In order to vote the proxies of securities out on loan, the Advisor must recall the securities prior to the established record date. It is the Advisor's general policy to use its best efforts to recall securities on loan and to vote proxies relating to such securities if the Advisor determines that such proxies involve a material event affecting the loaned securities. The Advisor may utilize third party service providers to assist it in identifying and evaluating whether an event is material.

As noted, in certain cases, the Advisor may determine that voting proxies is not in the best interest of a client and may refrain from voting if the costs, including the opportunity costs, of voting would, in the view of the Advisor, exceed the expected benefits of voting to the client. For securities on loan, the Advisor will balance the revenue-producing value of loans against the difficult-to-assess value of casting votes. If the Advisor determines that the expected value of casting a vote will be less than the securities lending income, either because the votes would not have significant economic consequences or because the outcome of the vote would not be affected by the Advisor's recalling the loaned securities in order to ensure they are voted (*e.g.*, for an annual shareholder meeting at which purely routine votes are at issue, or if the relevant Fund owns a de minimus percentage of the outstanding shares at issue). The Advisor intends to recall securities on loan if it determines that voting the securities is likely to affect materially the value of a Fund's investment and that it is in the Fund's best interests to do so.

**Availability of Information; Record of Proxy Voting** 

The Advisor, with the assistance of ISS, shall maintain for a period of at least five years the following records relating to proxy voting on behalf of clients:

(1) proxy voting policies and procedures;

(2) proxy statements received for clients (unless such statements are available on the SEC's Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (EDGAR) system);

(3) any documents prepared by the Advisor that were material to making a proxy voting decision or that memorialized the basis for the decision;

(4) records of votes cast on behalf of clients (which may be maintained by a third party service provider if the service provider undertakes to provide copies of those records promptly upon request); and

(5) records of written requests for proxy voting information and written responses from the Advisor to either a written or oral request.

For the first two years, the Advisor will store such records at its principal office. Voting records will also be maintained and will be available free of charge by calling the Advisor at 888-776-1972. The voting record is available on the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov.

------

**Disclosure** 

The Advisor will inform its clients as to how to obtain information regarding the Advisor's voting of the clients' securities. The Advisor will provide its clients with a summary of its proxy voting guidelines, process and policies and will inform its clients as to how they can obtain a copy of the complete Guidelines upon request. The Advisor will include such information described in the preceding two sentences in its Form ADV and will provide its existing clients with the above information. The Advisor shall disclose in the statements of additional information of registered fund clients a summary of procedures which the Advisor uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of such clients. The disclosure will include a description of the procedures used when a vote presents a conflict of interest between shareholders and the Advisor or an affiliate of the Advisor.

The semi-annual reports of Fund clients shall indicate that a Fund's proxy voting records are available: (i) by calling a toll-free number; or (ii) on the SEC's website. If a request for the records is received, the requested description must be sent within three business days by a prompt method of delivery.

The Advisor, on behalf of each Fund it advises, shall file its proxy voting record with the SEC on Form N-PX no later than August 31 of each year, for the twelve-month period ending June 30 of the current year. Such filings shall contain all information required to be disclosed on Form N-PX.

**GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE TRUST**

The Trust is an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust on April 17, 1997. The Trust is composed of multiple separate series. One series is discussed herein and other series may be added in the future. Investor or Service Class shares of any publicly available Fund may be exchanged, without any charge, for Investor or Service Class shares, respectively, of another publicly available series of the Trust that offers such shares, on the basis of the respective net asset values ("NAVs") of such shares, provided, however, that certain minimum investment levels are maintained, as described in the Prospectus (see "Shareholders Services Guide — Account Minimums" in the Prospectus).

The Fund is classified as diversified. Portfolio management is provided to the Fund by the Advisor. The investments made by the Fund and the results achieved by the Fund at any given time are not expected to be the same as those of other mutual funds for which the Advisor acts as investment adviser, including mutual funds with names, investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Fund.

Reference is made to the Prospectus for a discussion of the investment objectives and policies of the Fund. Set forth below is further information relating to the Fund, which supplements and should be read in conjunction with the Prospectus. The Fund currently invests substantially all of its assets in the Portfolio, which has as its investment advisor DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. ("DIMA"), headquartered at 875 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10022.

The investment restrictions of the Fund specifically identified as fundamental policies may not be changed without the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, as defined in the 1940 Act. The investment objectives and all other investment policies of the Fund not specified as fundamental (including the benchmarks of the Fund) may be changed by the Board without the approval of shareholders.

The investment techniques and strategies of the Fund discussed below may be used by the Fund if, in the opinion of the Advisor, the techniques or strategies may be advantageous to the Fund. The Fund may reduce or eliminate its use of any of these techniques or strategies without changing the Fund's fundamental policies. There is no assurance that any of the techniques or strategies listed below, or any of the other methods of investment available to the Fund, will result in the achievement of the Fund's objectives. Also, there can be no assurance that the Fund will grow to, or maintain, an economically viable size, and management may determine to liquidate the Fund at any time, which time may not be an opportune one for shareholders.

------

**INVESTMENT POLICIES, TECHNIQUES AND RELATED RISKS**

**GENERAL**

There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

For purposes of this SAI, the word "invest" refers to the Fund's indirect investments in securities or other instruments as the result of its investment in the Portfolio. Similarly, when used in this SAI, the word "investment" refers to the Fund's indirect investments in securities and other instruments as the result of its investment in the Portfolio.

Additional information concerning the Fund, its investment policies and techniques, and the securities and financial instruments in which it may invest is set forth below.

**NAME POLICIES**

The Rule 35d-1 Fund is subject to the SEC "names rule" (Rule 35d-1 under the 1940 Act) and commits to invest at least 80% of its assets (i.e., net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes), under normal circumstances, in the types of securities suggested by its name and/or investments with similar economic characteristics. Such exposure may be obtained through direct investments and/or through investments with similar economic characteristics. For purposes of such an investment policy, "assets" includes not only the amount of the Fund's net assets attributable to investments providing direct investment exposure to the type of investments suggested by its name (*e.g.*, the value of stocks, or the value of derivative instruments such as futures, options or options on futures), but also cash and cash equivalents that are segregated on the Fund's books and records or being used as collateral, as required by applicable regulatory guidance, or otherwise available to cover such investment exposure. The Board has adopted a non-fundamental policy to provide investors with at least 60 days' notice prior to changes in the Fund's name policy.

***U.S. Government Securities***

The Portfolio may invest in U.S. government securities in pursuit of its investment objective.

U.S. government securities include U.S. Treasury securities, which are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury and which differ only in their interest rates, maturities, and times of issuance: U.S. Treasury bills, which have initial maturities of one year or less; U.S. Treasury notes, which have initial maturities of one to ten years; and U.S. Treasury bonds, which generally have initial maturities of greater than ten years.

Certain U.S. government securities are issued or guaranteed by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. government including, but not limited to, obligations of U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities, such as the Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae" or "FNMA"), the Government National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Mae" or "GNMA"), the Small Business Administration, the Federal Farm Credit Administration, Federal Home Loan Banks, Banks for Cooperatives (including the Central Bank for Cooperatives), Federal Land Banks, Federal Intermediate Credit Banks, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Export-Import Bank of the United States, the Commodity Credit Corporation, the Federal Financing Bank, the Student Loan Marketing Association, the National Credit Union Administration and the Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation. Some obligations issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities, including, for example, GNMA pass-through certificates, are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury. Other obligations issued by or guaranteed by federal agencies, such as those securities issued by FNMA, are supported by the discretionary authority of the U.S. government to purchase certain obligations of the federal agency but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, while other obligations issued by or guaranteed by federal agencies, such as those of the Federal Home Loan Banks, are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury. While the U.S. government provides financial support to such U.S. government-sponsored federal agencies and instrumentalities described above, no assurance can be given that the U.S. government will always do so, since the U.S. government is not so

------

obligated by law. U.S. Treasury notes and bonds typically pay coupon interest semi-annually and repay the principal at maturity. All U.S. government securities are subject to credit risk.

U.S. Government securities may include "zero coupon" securities that have been stripped by the U.S. Government of their unmatured interest coupons and collateralized obligations issued or guaranteed by a U.S. Government agency or instrumentality. Because interest on zero coupon securities is not distributed on a current basis but is, in effect, compounded, zero coupon securities tend to be subject to greater risk than interest-paying securities of similar maturities.

Interest rates on U.S. Government securities may be fixed or variable. Interest rates on variable rate obligations are adjusted at regular intervals, at least annually, according to a formula reflecting then current specified standard rates, such as 91-day U.S. Treasury bill rates. These adjustments generally tend to reduce fluctuations in the market value of the securities.

Yields on U.S. government securities depend on a variety of factors, including the general conditions of the money and bond markets, the size of a particular offering and the maturity of the obligation. Debt securities with longer maturities tend to produce higher yields and are generally subject to potentially greater capital appreciation and depreciation than obligations with shorter maturities and lower yields. The market value of U.S. government securities generally varies inversely with changes in market interest rates. An increase in interest rates, therefore, would generally reduce the market value of the Portfolio's investments in U.S. government securities, while a decline in interest rates would generally increase the market value of the Portfolio's investments in these securities.

From time to time, a high national debt or uncertainty regarding the status of negotiations in the U.S. government to increase the statutory debt ceiling or periodic legislation to fund the U.S. government could increase the risk that the U.S. government may default on payments on certain U.S. government securities, cause the credit rating of the U.S. government to be downgraded, increase volatility in the stock and bond markets, result in higher interest rates, reduce prices of U.S. Treasury securities, and/or increase the costs of various kinds of debt.

***Floating and Variable Rate Notes***

Floating and variable rate notes generally are unsecured obligations issued by financial institutions and other entities. They typically have a stated maturity of more than one year and an interest rate that changes either at specific intervals or whenever a benchmark rate changes.

Variable Rate Demand Securities are variable rate securities that permit a fund to demand payment of the unpaid principal balance plus accrued interest upon a specified number of days' notice to the issuer or its agent. The demand feature may be backed by a bank letter of credit or guarantee issued with respect to such instrument. A bank that issues a repurchase commitment may receive a fee from a fund for this arrangement. The issuer of a variable rate demand security may have a corresponding right to prepay in its discretion the outstanding principal of the instrument plus accrued interest upon notice comparable to that required for the holder to demand payment.

Variable Rate Master Demand Notes are unsecured instruments that permit the indebtedness thereunder to vary and provide for periodic adjustments in the interest rate. Because variable rate master demand notes are direct lending arrangements between the Portfolio and the issuer, they are not ordinarily traded. Since no active secondary market may exist for these notes, the Portfolio will purchase only those notes under which it may demand and receive payment on principal and accrued interest daily or may resell the note to a third party.

**REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS**

The Portfolio also may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions in pursuit of its investment objective or for liquidity purposes. Under a repurchase agreement, the Portfolio purchases a debt security and simultaneously agrees to sell the security back to the seller at a mutually agreed-upon future price

------

and date, normally one day or a few days later. The resale price is greater than the purchase price, reflecting an agreed-upon market interest rate during the purchaser's holding period. While the maturities of the underlying securities in repurchase transactions may be more than one year, the term of each repurchase agreement will always be less than one year. In addition, the value of the collateral underlying the repurchase agreement will always be at least equal to the repurchase price, including any accrued interest earned on the repurchase agreement. In the event of a default or bankruptcy by a selling financial institution, the Portfolio will seek to liquidate such collateral which could involve certain costs or delays and, to the extent that proceeds from any sale upon a default of the obligation to repurchase were less than the repurchase price, the Portfolio could suffer a loss. The Portfolio also may experience difficulties and incur certain costs in exercising its rights to the collateral and may lose the interest the Fund expected to receive under the repurchase agreement. Repurchase agreements usually are for short periods, such as one week or less, but may be longer.

In accordance with current SEC guidance, the Portfolio may also transfer uninvested cash balances into a single joint account (a "Joint Account"). The daily aggregate balance of a Joint Account will be invested in one or more repurchase agreements. The Portfolio's Board has established and periodically reviews procedures applicable to transactions involving Joint Accounts.

Regulations adopted by global prudential regulators that are now in effect require certain bank-regulated counterparties and certain of their affiliates to include in certain financial contracts, including many repurchase agreements, terms that delay or restrict the rights of counterparties, such as the Fund, to terminate such agreements, take foreclosure action, exercise other default rights or restrict transfers of credit support in the event that the counterparty and/or its affiliates are subject to certain types of resolution or insolvency proceedings. It is possible that these new requirements, as well as potential additional government regulation and other developments in the market, could adversely affect the Fund's ability to terminate existing repurchase agreements and purchase and sale contracts or to realize amounts to be received under such agreements.

In December 2023, the SEC adopted rule amendments providing that any covered clearing agency ("CCA") for U.S. Treasury securities require its direct participants (which generally would be a bank or broker-dealer) to submit for clearance and settlement all eligible secondary market transactions in U.S. Treasury securities to which the direct participant is a counterparty. The clearing mandate includes in its scope all repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements of such direct participants collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities (collectively, "Treasury repo transactions") of a type accepted for clearing by a registered CCA, including both bilateral Treasury repo transactions and triparty Treasury repo transactions where a bank agent provides custody, collateral management and settlement services.

The Treasury repo transactions of registered funds with any direct participants of a CCA will be subject to the mandatory clearing requirement.

Market participants, absent an exemption, will be required to clear Treasury repo transactions under the rule as of June 30, 2027. The clearing mandate is expected to result in the Portfolio being required to clear all or substantially all of its repurchase transactions in Treasury securities as of the compliance date, and the Portfolio may incur costs in connection with entering into new agreements (or amending existing agreements) with direct participants of a CCA and potentially other market participants and taking other actions to comply with the new requirements. In addition, upon the compliance date taking effect, the costs and benefits of entering into repurchase transactions involving U.S. Treasuries to the Portfolio may be impacted as compared to repurchase transactions involving U.S. Treasuries the Portfolio may enter prior to the compliance date. The new clearing requirements could make it more difficult for the Portfolio to execute certain investment strategies.

------

**REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS**

The Portfolio may enter into reverse repurchase agreements with a bank, which are repurchase agreements in which the Portfolio, as the seller of securities, agrees to repurchase such securities at an agreed time and price. Under a reverse repurchase agreement, the Portfolio continues to receive any principal and interest payments on the underlying security during the term of the agreement. The Portfolio's obligations under reverse repurchase agreements are treated as borrowings requiring the necessary asset coverage under Section 18(f) of the 1940 Act. Such transactions may increase fluctuations in the market value of the Portfolio assets and its yield.

The SEC has finalized new rules requiring the central clearing of certain repurchase transactions involving U.S. Treasuries. Historically, such transactions have not been required to be cleared and voluntary clearing of such transactions has generally been limited. The new clearing requirements could make it more difficult for the Portfolio to execute certain investment strategies.

**WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED-DELIVERY SECURITIES**

To the extent allowable by its investment policies, the Portfolio may from time to time in the ordinary course of business, purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis (*i.e.*, delivery and payment can take place between a month and 120 days after the date of the transaction). These securities are subject to market fluctuations and no interest accrues to the purchaser during this period. At the time the Portfolio makes the commitment to purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis, the Portfolio will record the transaction and thereafter reflect the value of the securities, each day, in determining the Portfolio's net value. At the time of delivery of the securities, the value of the securities may be more or less than the purchase price.

Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act permits the Portfolio to invest in a security on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis and the transaction will be deemed not to involve a senior security, provided that the Portfolio intends to physically settle the transaction and the transaction will settle within 35 days of its trade date. On delivery dates for such transactions, the Portfolio will meet its obligations from maturities or sales of securities and/or from cash flow. If the Portfolio chooses to dispose of the right to acquire a when-issued security prior to its acquisition, it could, as with the disposition of any other portfolio obligation, incur a gain or loss due to market fluctuation. When the Portfolio engages in when-issued or delayed-delivery transactions, it relies on the other party to consummate the trade and is, therefore, exposed to counterparty risk. Failure of the seller to do so may result in the Portfolio's incurring a loss or missing an opportunity to obtain a price considered to be advantageous.

**INVESTMENTS IN OTHER INVESTMENT COMPANIES**

The Portfolio may acquire securities of other registered investment companies and other pooled investment vehicles (collectively, investment funds) to the extent that such investments are consistent with its investment objective, policies, strategies and restrictions and the limitations of the 1940 Act. A money market fund that is operated in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act may acquire shares of other money market mutual funds to the extent consistent with its investment policies and restrictions set forth in its prospectus. Investment funds may include mutual funds, closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and hedge funds (including investment funds managed by DIMA and its affiliates). The Portfolio will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any management fees and other expenses paid by such other investment funds.

Because the Portfolio may acquire securities of funds managed by DIMA or an affiliate of DIMA, DIMA may have a conflict of interest in selecting funds. DIMA considers such conflicts of interest as part of its investment process and has established practices designed to minimize such conflicts. DIMA and any affiliates of DIMA, as applicable, earn fees at varying rates for providing services to underlying DWS funds. DIMA may, therefore, have a conflict of interest in selecting underlying DWS funds and in determining whether to invest in an unaffiliated fund from which they will not receive any fees. However, DIMA will select investments that it believes are appropriate to meet the Portfolio's investment objective.

***Mortgage-Backed Securities***

Mortgage-backed securities represent direct or indirect participations in or obligations collateralized by and payable from mortgage loans secured by real property, which may include subprime mortgages. The Portfolio may invest in mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by (i) U.S. Government agencies or instrumentalities such as the GNMA, the FNMA and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") or (ii) other issuers, including private companies. The mortgage-backed securities in which the Portfolio may invest are limited to those which satisfy the requirements contained in Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act.

GNMA is a government-owned corporation that is an agency of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. It guarantees, with the full faith and credit of the United States, full and timely payment of all monthly principal and interest on its mortgage-backed securities. Until relatively recently, FNMA and FHLMC were government-sponsored corporations owned entirely by private stockholders. Both issue mortgage-related securities that contain guarantees as to timely payment of interest and principal but that are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. The value of the companies' securities fell sharply in 2008 due to concerns that the firms did not have sufficient capital to offset losses. In September 2008, the U.S. Treasury announced that FNMA and FHLMC had been placed in conservatorship by the Federal Housing Finance Agency ("FHFA"), a newly created independent regulator created under the Federal Housing Finance Regulatory Reform Act of 2008 (Reform Act).

FHFA, as conservator or receiver for FNMA and FHLMC, has the power to repudiate any contract entered into by FNMA or FHLMC prior to FHFA's appointment as conservator or receiver, as applicable, if FHFA determines, in its sole discretion, that performance of the contract is burdensome and that repudiation of the contract promotes the orderly administration of FNMA's or FHLMC's affairs. The Reform Act requires FHFA to exercise its right to repudiate any contract within a reasonable period of time after its appointment as conservator or receiver. FHFA, in its capacity as conservator, has indicated that it has no intention to repudiate the guaranty obligations of FNMA or FHLMC because FHFA views repudiation as incompatible with the goals of the conservatorship. However, in the event that FHFA, as conservator or if it is later appointed as receiver for FNMA or FHLMC, were to repudiate any such guaranty obligation, the conservatorship or receivership estate, as applicable, would be liable for actual direct compensatory damages in accordance with the provisions of the Reform Act. Any such liability could be satisfied only to the extent of FNMA's or FHLMC's assets available therefor.

In the event of repudiation, the payments of interest to holders of FNMA or FHLMC mortgage-backed securities would be reduced if payments on the mortgage loans represented in the mortgage loan groups related to such mortgage-backed securities are not made by the borrowers or advanced by the servicer. Any actual direct compensatory damages for repudiating these guaranty obligations may not be sufficient to offset any shortfalls experienced by such mortgage-backed security holders. Further, in its capacity as conservator or receiver, FHFA has the right to transfer or sell any asset or liability of FNMA or FHLMC without any approval, assignment or consent. Although FHFA has stated that it has no present intention to do so, if FHFA, as conservator or receiver, were to transfer any such guaranty obligation to another party, holders of FNMA or FHLMC mortgage-backed securities would have to rely on that party for satisfaction of the guaranty obligation and would be exposed to the credit risk of that party.

In addition, certain rights provided to holders of mortgage-backed securities issued by FNMA and FHLMC under the operative documents related to such securities may not be enforced against FHFA, or enforcement of such rights may be delayed, during the conservatorship or any future receivership. The operative documents for FNMA and FHLMC mortgage-backed securities may provide (or with respect to securities issued prior to the date of the appointment of the conservator may have provided) that upon the occurrence of an event of default on the part of FNMA or FHLMC, in its capacity as guarantor, which includes the appointment of a conservator or receiver, holders of such mortgage backed securities have the right to replace FNMA or FHLMC as trustee if the requisite percentage of mortgage-backed securities holders consent. The Reform Act prevents mortgage-backed security holders from enforcing such rights if the event of default arises solely because a conservator or receiver has been appointed. The Reform Act also provides that

------

no person may exercise any right or power to terminate, accelerate or declare an event of default under certain contracts to which FNMA or FHLMC is a party, or obtain possession of or exercise control over any property of FNMA or FHLMC, or affect any contractual rights of FNMA or FHLMC, without the approval of FHFA, as conservator or receiver, for a period of 45 or 90 days following the appointment of FHFA as conservator or receiver, respectively.

On June 3, 2019, under the Federal Housing Finance Agency's "Single Security Initiative" intended to maximize liquidity for both FNMA and FHLMC mortgage-backed securities in the TBA security market, FNMA and FHLMC expect to start issuing uniform mortgage-backed securities ("UMBS") in place of their current separate offerings of TBA-eligible mortgage-backed securities. The issuance of UMBS may not achieve the intended results and may have unanticipated adverse effects on the market for mortgage-backed securities.

**BORROWING**

The Portfolio may borrow for temporary or emergency purposes. Interest costs on borrowings may fluctuate with changing market rates of interest and may partially offset or exceed the returns on the borrowed funds. Under adverse conditions, the Portfolio might have to sell portfolio securities to meet interest or principal payments at a time when investment considerations would not favor such sales.

Consistent with the requirement of the 1940 Act, the Portfolio must maintain continuous asset coverage (total assets, including assets acquired with borrowed funds, less liabilities exclusive of borrowings) of 300% of all amounts borrowed. Maintenance of this percentage limitation may result in the sale of Portfolio securities at a time when investment considerations would not favor such sale.

In addition to the foregoing, the Portfolio is authorized to borrow money as a temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes in amounts not in excess of 5% of the value of the Portfolio's total assets. This borrowing is not subject to the foregoing 300% asset coverage requirement. The Portfolio is authorized to pledge Portfolio securities as DIMA deems appropriate in connection with any borrowings.

**PORTFOLIO TURNOVER**

The Fund's portfolio turnover rate, to a great extent, will depend on the purchase, redemption and exchange activity of the Fund's investors. Consequently, it is difficult to estimate what the Fund's actual portfolio turnover rate will be in the future. However, it is expected that the portfolio turnover experienced by the Fund from year to year, as well as within a year, may be substantial. In addition, the Fund's portfolio turnover level may adversely affect the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. "Portfolio Turnover Rate" is defined under the rules of the SEC as the value of the securities purchased or securities sold, excluding all securities whose maturities at time of acquisition were one year or less, divided by the average monthly value of such securities owned during the year. Based on this definition, instruments with remaining maturities of less than one year, including options and futures contracts in which the Fund invests, are excluded from the calculation of portfolio turnover rate.

**FIXED INCOME SECURITIES**

Fixed income securities, including corporate debt obligations, generally expose the Portfolio to the following types of risk: (1) interest rate risk (the potential for fluctuations in bond prices due to changing interest rates); (2) income risk (the potential for a decline in the Portfolio's income due to falling market interest rates); (3) credit risk (the possibility that a bond issuer will fail to make timely payments of either interest or principal to the Portfolio); (4) prepayment risk or call risk (the likelihood that, during periods of falling interest rates, securities with high stated interest rates will be prepaid, or "called" prior to maturity, requiring the Portfolio to invest the proceeds at generally lower interest rates); and (5) extension risk (the likelihood that as interest rates increase, slower than expected principal payments may extend the average life of fixed income securities, which will have the effect of locking in a below-market interest rate, increasing the security's duration and reducing the value of the security).

------

In periods of declining interest rates, the yield (income from a fixed income security held by the Portfolio over a stated period of time) of a fixed income security may tend to be higher than prevailing market rates, and in periods of rising interest rates, the yield of a fixed income security may tend to be lower than prevailing market rates. In addition, when interest rates are falling, the inflow of net new money to the Portfolio will likely be invested in portfolio instruments producing lower yields than the balance of the Portfolio, thereby reducing the yield of the Portfolio. In periods of rising interest rates, the opposite can be true. The net value of the Portfolio can generally be expected to change as general levels of interest rates fluctuate. The value of fixed income securities in the Portfolio generally varies inversely with changes in interest rates. Prices of fixed income securities with longer effective maturities are more sensitive to interest rate changes than those with shorter effective maturities.

In a low or negative interest rate environment, debt instruments may trade at negative yields, which means the purchaser of the instrument may receive at maturity less than the total amount invested. In addition, in a negative interest rate environment, if a bank charges negative interest, instead of receiving interest on deposits, a depositor must pay the bank fees to keep money with the bank. To the extent the Portfolio holds a negatively-yielding debt instrument or has a bank deposit with a negative interest rate, the Portfolio would generate a negative return on that investment.

**IMPACT OF LARGE REDEMPTIONS AND PURCHASES OF FUND SHARES**

From time to time, shareholders of the Portfolio (which may include affiliated and/or non-affiliated registered investment companies that invest in the Portfolio) may make relatively large redemptions or purchases of Portfolio shares. These transactions may cause the Portfolio to have to sell securities or invest additional cash, as the case may be. While it is impossible to predict the overall impact of these transactions over time, there could be adverse effects on the Fund's and the Portfolio's performance to the extent that the Portfolio may be required to sell securities or invest cash at times when it would not otherwise do so. These transactions could also accelerate the recognition of taxable income if sales of securities resulted in capital gains or other income and could also increase transaction costs, which may impact the Portfolio's expense ratio and adversely affect the Fund's and the Portfolio's performance.

**STABLE NET ASSET VALUE**

The Fund effects purchases and redemptions at net asset value per share. In fulfillment of its responsibilities under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, the Fund's Board has approved policies reasonably designed, taking into account current market conditions and the Fund's investment objective, to stabilize the Fund's net asset value per share. The Fund's Board will periodically review the Advisor's operations under such policies at regularly scheduled Board meetings. The result of those policies may be that the yield on shares of the Fund will be lower than would be the case if the policies were not in effect. Such policies also provide for certain action to be taken with respect to portfolio securities which experience a downgrade in rating or suffer a default. In addition, a low interest rate environment may prevent the Fund from providing a positive yield or paying Fund expenses out of current income and, at times, could impair the Fund's ability to maintain a stable $1.00 share price. There is no assurance that the Fund's net asset value per share will be maintained at $1.00.

**SPECIAL INFORMATION CONCERNING MASTER-FEEDER FUND STRUCTURE**

Unlike other open-end management investment companies (mutual funds) that directly acquire and manage their own portfolio securities, the Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing substantially all of its assets in the Portfolio, a separate registered investment company with a comparable investment objective as the Fund. Therefore, an investor's interest in the Portfolio's securities is indirect. In addition to selling beneficial interests to the Fund, the Portfolio may sell beneficial interests to other mutual funds or institutional investors. Such investors will invest in the Portfolio on the same terms and conditions and will pay a proportionate share of the Portfolio's expenses. However, the other investors investing in the Portfolio are not required to sell their shares at the same public offering price as the Fund and are not necessarily subject to comparable variations in sales loads and other operating expenses. Therefore, investors

------

in the Fund should be aware that these differences may result in differences in returns experienced by investors in the different funds that may invest in the Portfolio. Such differences in returns are also present in other mutual fund structures.

The Board of Trustees believes that the Fund will achieve certain efficiencies and economies of scale through the master-feeder structure and that the aggregate expenses of the Fund are no higher than if the Fund invested directly in the securities held by the Portfolio. Smaller funds investing in the Portfolio may be materially affected by the actions of larger funds investing in the Portfolio. For example, if a large fund withdraws from the Portfolio, the remaining funds may experience higher pro rata operating expenses, thereby producing lower returns (however, this possibility exists as well for traditionally structured funds which have large institutional investors). Additionally, the Portfolio may become less diverse, resulting in increased portfolio concentration and potential risk. Also, funds with a greater pro rata ownership in the Portfolio could have effective voting control of the operations of the Portfolio. Except as permitted by the SEC, whenever the Fund is requested to vote on matters pertaining to the Portfolio, the Trust will hold a meeting of shareholders of the Fund and will cast all of its votes in the same proportion as the votes of the Fund's shareholders. The Fund's shareholders who do not vote will not affect the Trust's votes at the Portfolio meeting. The percentage of the Trust's votes representing the Fund's shareholders not voting will be voted by the Trustees or officers of the Trust in the same proportion as the Fund's shareholders who do, in fact, vote.

Certain changes in the Portfolio's investment objective, policies or restrictions may require the Fund to withdraw its interest in the Portfolio. Such withdrawal could result in a distribution "in kind" of portfolio securities (as opposed to a cash distribution from the Portfolio). If securities are distributed, the Fund could incur brokerage, tax or other charges in converting the securities to cash. In addition, the distribution in kind may result in a less diversified portfolio of investments or adversely affect the liquidity of the Fund. Notwithstanding the above, there are other means for meeting redemption requests, such as borrowing.

**POTENTIAL FUTURE CHANGE TO THE MASTER-FEEDER FUND STRUCTURE** 

At a meeting held on June 29, 2001, shareholders of the Fund approved an investment advisory agreement under which the Advisor may serve as investment advisor to the Fund. Under the agreement, the Advisor is authorized to manage the assets of the Fund directly, at which point the Fund would no longer operate as a feeder fund investing its assets in the Portfolio. However, the Fund's investment objective would not change, and the Advisor anticipates investing the Fund's assets in the same types of high-quality, short-term, dollar-denominated money market securities in which the Portfolio may invest. In addition, it is anticipated that the Fund generally would be subject to the same types of risks to which it currently is subject as a feeder fund investing its assets in the Portfolio. It is not anticipated that the Fund's total operating expenses would exceed its current operating expenses as a feeder fund investing in the Portfolio.

**PORTFOLIO INVESTMENT POLICIES**

**Adjustable Rate Securities**. The interest rates paid on the adjustable rate securities in which a fund invests generally are readjusted at periodic intervals, usually by reference to a predetermined interest rate. Adjustable rate securities include U.S. government securities and securities of other issuers. Some adjustable rate securities are backed by pools of mortgage loans. There are three main categories of interest rate: those based on US Treasury securities, those derived from a calculated measure such as a cost of funds index and those based on a moving average of mortgage rates. Commonly used indices include the one-year, three-year and five-year constant maturity Treasury rates, the three-month Treasury bill rate, the 180-day Treasury bill rate, rates on longer-term Treasury securities, the 11th District Federal Home Loan Bank Cost of Funds, the National Median Cost of Funds, the one-month, three-month, six-month or one-year Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), the prime rate of a specific bank or commercial paper rates. As with fixed-rates securities, changes in market interest rates and changes in the issuer's creditworthiness may affect the value of adjustable rate securities.

Some indices, such as the one-year constant maturity Treasury rate, closely mirror changes in market interest rate levels. Others, such as the 11th District Home Loan Bank Cost of Funds index (Cost of Funds

------

Index), tend to lag behind changes in market rate levels and tend to be somewhat less volatile. To the extent that the Cost of Funds index may reflect interest changes on a more delayed basis than other indices, in a period of rising interest rates, any increase may produce a higher yield later than would be produced by such other indices, and in a period of declining interest rates, the Cost of Funds index may remain higher for a longer period of time than other market interest rates, which may result in a higher level of principal prepayments on adjustable rate securities which adjust in accordance with the Cost of Funds index than adjustable rate securities which adjust in accordance with other indices. In addition, dislocations in the member institutions of the 11th District Federal Home Loan Bank in recent years have caused and may continue to cause the Cost of Funds index to change for reasons unrelated to changes in general interest rate levels. Furthermore, any movement in the Cost of Funds index as compared to other indices based upon specific interest rates may be affected by changes in the method used to calculate the Cost of Funds index.

If prepayments of principal are made on the securities during periods of rising interest rates, a fund generally will be able to reinvest such amounts in securities with a higher current rate of return. However, a fund will not benefit from increases in interest rates to the extent that interest rates rise to the point where they cause the current coupon of adjustable rate securities held as investments by a fund to exceed the maximum allowable annual or lifetime reset limits (cap rates) for a particular adjustable rate security. Also, a fund's net asset value could vary to the extent that current yields on adjustable rate securities are different than market yields during interim periods between coupon reset dates.

During periods of declining interest rates, the coupon rates may readjust downward, resulting in lower yields to a fund. Further, because of this feature, the value of adjustable rate securities is unlikely to rise during periods of declining interest rates to the same extent as fixed-rate instruments. Interest rate declines may result in accelerated prepayment of adjustable rate securities, and the proceeds from such prepayments must be reinvested at lower prevailing interest rates.

**Commodity Pool Operator Exclusion.** DIMA operates the Portfolio in compliance with the requirements of Rule 4.5 of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC"). As a result, the Portfolio is not deemed to be a "commodity pool" under the Commodity Exchange Act ("CEA") and will be limited in its ability to use futures and options on futures or commodities or engage in swap transactions for other than bona fide hedging purposes. Provided the Portfolio operates within the limits of Rule 4.5 of the CFTC, the Portfolio will be excluded from registration with and regulation under the CEA, and DIMA will be excluded from the definition of the term "commodity pool operator" with respect to the operations of the Portfolio. If the Portfolio were no longer able to claim the exclusion, the Portfolio and DIMA would be subject to regulation under the CEA.

**Credit Enhancement.** Mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities are often backed by a pool of assets representing the obligations of a number of different parties. To lessen the effect of failure by obligors on underlying assets to make payments, such securities may contain elements of credit enhancement. Such credit enhancement falls into two categories: (1) liquidity protection and (2) protection against losses resulting from ultimate default by an obligor on the underlying assets. Liquidity protection refers to the provision of advances, generally by the entity administering the pool of assets, to ensure that the pass-through of payments due on the underlying pool occurs in a timely fashion.

Protection against losses resulting from ultimate default enhances the likelihood of ultimate payment of the obligations on at least a portion of the assets in the pool. Such protection may be provided through guarantees, insurance policies or letters of credit obtained by the issuer or sponsor from third parties; through various means of structuring the transaction; or through a combination of such approaches. The Portfolio may pay any additional fees for such credit enhancement, although the existence of credit enhancement may increase the price of a security.

The ratings of mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities for which third-party credit enhancement provides liquidity protection or protection against losses from default are generally dependent upon the continued creditworthiness of the provider of the credit enhancement.

------

The ratings of such securities could be subject to reduction in the event of deterioration in the creditworthiness of the credit enhancement provider even in cases where the delinquency and loss experience on the underlying pool of assets is better than expected.

Examples of credit enhancement arising out of the structure of the transaction include "senior-subordinated securities" (multiple class securities with one or more classes subordinate to other classes as to the payment of principal thereof and interest thereon, with the result that defaults on the underlying assets are borne first by the holders of the subordinated class), creation of "reserve funds" (where cash or investments, sometimes funded from a portion of the payments on the underlying assets, are held in reserve against future losses) and "overcollateralization" (where the scheduled payments on, or the principal amount of, the underlying assets exceed those required to make payment of the securities and pay any servicing or other fees). The degree of credit enhancement provided for each issue is generally based on historical information with respect to the level of credit risk associated with the underlying assets. Delinquency or loss in excess of that which is anticipated could adversely affect the return on an investment in such a security.

Certain of the Portfolio's other investments may be credit-enhanced by a guaranty, letter of credit, or insurance from a third party. Any bankruptcy, receivership, default, or change in the credit quality of the third party providing the credit enhancement may adversely affect the quality and marketability of the underlying security and could cause losses to the Portfolio and affect the Portfolio's share price.

**Illiquid Securities.** For funds other than money market funds, illiquid securities are investments that a fund reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment, as determined pursuant to a fund's liquidity risk management program (LRM Program) adopted pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act. Under a fund's LRM Program, the fund may not hold more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities. The LRM Program administrator is responsible for determining the liquidity classification of a fund's investments and monitoring compliance with the 15% limit on illiquid securities. For money market funds operated in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, limitations on investment in illiquid securities include that a fund may not hold more than 5% of its total assets in illiquid securities, defined as securities that cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven calendar days at approximately the value ascribed to them by the fund. Money market funds are not subject to the requirements of Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act and therefore are not subject to the LRM Program. Historically, illiquid securities have included securities subject to contractual or legal restrictions on resale because they have not been registered under the 1933 Act, securities which are otherwise not readily marketable and repurchase agreements having a maturity of longer than seven days. Securities which have not been registered under the 1933 Act are referred to as private placements or restricted securities and are purchased directly from the issuer or in the secondary market. Non-publicly traded securities (including Rule 144A Securities) may involve a high degree of business and financial risk and may result in substantial losses. These securities may be less liquid than publicly traded securities, and it may take longer to liquidate these positions than would be the case for publicly traded securities. Companies whose securities are not publicly traded may not be subject to the disclosure and other investor protection requirements applicable to companies whose securities are publicly traded. Certain securities may be deemed to be illiquid as a result of DIMA's receipt from time to time of material, non-public information about an issuer, which may limit DIMA's ability to trade such securities for the account of any of its clients, including the Portfolio. In some instances, these trading restrictions could continue in effect for a substantial period of time. Limitations on resale may have an adverse effect on the marketability of portfolio securities and a mutual fund might be unable to dispose of illiquid securities promptly or at reasonable prices and might thereby experience difficulty satisfying redemptions within seven days. An investment in illiquid securities is subject to the risk that should a fund's desire to sell any of these securities when a ready buyer is not available at a price that is deemed to be representative of their value, the value of a fund's net assets could be adversely affected.

Mutual funds do not typically hold a significant amount of illiquid securities because of the potential for delays on resale and uncertainty in valuation. A mutual fund might also have to register such illiquid securities in order to dispose of them, resulting in additional expense and delay. A fund selling its securities in

------

a registered offering may be deemed to be an "underwriter" for purposes of Section 11 of the 1933 Act. In such event, a fund may be liable to purchasers of the securities under Section 11 if the registration statement prepared by the issuer, or the prospectus forming a part of it, is materially inaccurate or misleading, although a fund may have a due diligence defense. Adverse market conditions could impede such a public offering of securities.

A large institutional market has developed for certain securities that are not registered under the 1933 Act, including repurchase agreements, commercial paper, non-US securities, municipal securities and corporate bonds and notes. Institutional investors depend on an efficient institutional market in which the unregistered security can be readily resold or on an issuer's ability to honor a demand for repayment. The fact that there are contractual or legal restrictions on resale of such investments to the general public or to certain institutions may not be indicative of their liquidity.

**Inflation.** Inflation creates uncertainty over the future real value of an investment (after adjusting for inflation). The real value of certain assets or real income from investments will be less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the present value of a fund's assets and distributions may decline. The risk is more prevalent with respect to debt securities held by a fund. Inflation rates may change frequently and drastically as a result of various factors, including unexpected shifts in the domestic or global economy. Moreover, a fund's investments may not keep pace with inflation, which may result in losses to fund shareholders or adversely affect the real value of shareholders' investment in a fund. Fund shareholders' expectation of future inflation can also impact the current value of a fund's portfolio, resulting in lower asset values and potential losses. This risk may be elevated compared to historical market conditions because of recent monetary policy measures and the current interest rate environment.

**Interfund Borrowing and Lending Program.** The DWS funds have received exemptive relief from the SEC, which permits the Portfolio to participate in an interfund lending program. The interfund lending program allows the participating funds to borrow money from and loan money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes. The program is subject to a number of conditions designed to ensure fair and equitable treatment of all participating funds, including the following: (1) no fund may borrow money through the program unless it receives a more favorable interest rate than a rate approximating the lowest interest rate at which bank loans would be available to any of the participating funds under a loan agreement; and (2) no fund may lend money through the program unless it receives a more favorable return than that available from an investment in repurchase agreements and, to the extent applicable, money market cash sweep arrangements. In addition, a fund may participate in the program only if and to the extent that such participation is consistent with a fund's investment objectives and policies (for instance, money market funds would normally participate only as lenders and tax exempt funds only as borrowers). Interfund loans and borrowings have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one day's notice. A fund may have to borrow from a bank at a higher interest rate if an interfund loan is called or not renewed. Any delay in repayment to a lending fund could result in a lost investment opportunity or additional costs. The program is subject to the oversight and periodic review of the Portfolio's Board.

**Obligations of Banks and Other Financial Institutions.** The Portfolio may invest in U.S. dollar-denominated fixed rate or variable rate obligations of U.S. or foreign financial institutions, including banks. Obligations of domestic and foreign financial institutions in which the Portfolio may invest include (but are not limited to) certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances, bank time deposits, commercial paper, and other U.S. dollar-denominated instruments issued or supported by the credit of U.S. or foreign financial institutions, including banks, commercial and savings banks, savings and loan associations and other institutions.

Certificates of deposit are negotiable certificates evidencing the obligations of a bank to repay funds deposited with it for a specified period of time. Banker's acceptances are credit instruments evidencing the obligations of a bank to pay a draft drawn on it by a customer. These instruments reflect the obligation both of the bank and of the drawer to pay the face amount of the instrument upon maturity. Time deposits are non-negotiable deposits maintained in a banking institution for a specified period of time at a stated interest rate. Time deposits that may be held by the Portfolio will not benefit from insurance from the Bank Insurance

------

Fund or the Savings Association Insurance Fund administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Fixed time deposits may be withdrawn on demand, but may be subject to early withdrawal penalties that vary with market conditions and the remaining maturity of the obligation.

Obligations of foreign branches of U.S. banks and foreign banks may be general obligations of the parent bank in addition to the issuing bank or may be limited by the terms of a specific obligation and by government regulation. Investments in obligations of foreign banks may entail risks that are different in some respects from those of investments in obligations of U.S. domestic banks because of differences in political, regulatory and economic systems and conditions. These risks include the possibility that these obligations may be less marketable than comparable obligations of United States banks, and the selection of these obligations may be more difficult because there may be less publicly available information concerning foreign banks. Other risks include future political and economic developments, currency blockage, the possible imposition of withholding taxes on interest payments, possible seizure or nationalization of foreign deposits, difficulty or inability to pursue legal remedies and obtain or enforce judgments in foreign courts, possible establishment of exchange controls or the adoption of other foreign governmental restrictions that might affect adversely the payment of principal and interest on bank obligations. Foreign branches of U.S. banks and foreign banks may also be subject to less stringent reserve requirements and to different accounting, auditing, reporting and record keeping standards than those applicable to domestic branches of U.S. banks.

**Stand-by Commitments.** A stand-by commitment is a right acquired by the Portfolio, when it purchases a municipal obligation from a broker, dealer or other financial institution (seller), to sell up to the same principal amount of such securities back to the seller, at the Portfolio's option, at a specified price. Stand-by commitments are also known as "puts." The exercise by the Portfolio of a stand-by commitment is subject to the ability of the other party to fulfill its contractual commitment.

Stand-by commitments acquired by the Portfolio may have the following features: (1) they will be in writing and will be physically held by the Portfolio's custodian; (2) the Portfolio's right to exercise them will be unconditional and unqualified; (3) they will be entered into only with sellers which in DIMA's opinion present a minimal risk of default; (4) although stand-by commitments will not be transferable, municipal obligations purchased subject to such commitments may be sold to a third party at any time, even though the commitment is outstanding; and (5) their exercise price will be (i) the Portfolio's acquisition cost (excluding any accrued interest which the Portfolio paid on their acquisition), less any amortized market premium or plus any amortized original issue discount during the period the Portfolio owned the securities, plus (ii) all interest accrued on the securities since the last interest payment date.

The Portfolio expects that stand-by commitments generally will be available without the payment of any direct or indirect consideration. However, if necessary or advisable, the Portfolio will pay for stand-by commitments, either separately in cash or by paying a higher price for portfolio securities which are acquired subject to the commitments.

It is difficult to evaluate the likelihood of use or the potential benefit of a stand-by commitment. Therefore, it is expected that DIMA will determine that stand-by commitments ordinarily have a "fair value" of zero, regardless of whether any direct or indirect consideration was paid. However, if the market price of the security subject to the stand-by commitment is less than the exercise price of the stand-by commitment, such security will ordinarily be valued at such exercise price. Where the Portfolio has paid for a stand-by commitment, its cost will be reflected as unrealized depreciation for the period during which the commitment is held.

The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has issued a favorable revenue ruling to the effect that, under specified circumstances, a regulated investment company as such term is defined under the Code will be the owner of tax-exempt municipal obligations acquired subject to a put option. The IRS has also issued private letter rulings to certain taxpayers (which do not serve as precedent for other taxpayers) to the effect that tax-exempt interest received by a regulated investment company with respect to such obligations will be tax-exempt in the hands of the company and may be distributed to its shareholders as exempt-interest dividends. The IRS has subsequently announced that it will not ordinarily issue advance ruling letters as to the

------

identity of the true owner of property in cases involving the sale of securities or participation interests therein if the purchaser has the right to cause the security, or the participation interest therein, to be purchased by either the seller or a third party. The Portfolio intends to take the position that it owns any municipal obligations acquired subject to a stand-by commitment and that tax-exempt interest earned with respect to such municipal obligations will be tax-exempt in its hands. There is no assurance that the IRS will agree with such position in any particular case.

**Technology and Data Risk.** The Advisor, DIMA, and their affiliates use various technological tools and data in providing investment advisory services. The technological tools the Advisor, DIMA, and their affiliates may employ include, but are not limited to, software, computer systems, digital systems and algorithms, including a machine learning algorithm as a component in its evaluative processes for screening high yield securities, if applicable (although all investment decisions and security selections are exclusively made by portfolio management). As technology advances, the Advisor, DIMA, and their affiliates expect to continue to explore, test the utility of, and potentially use a variety of technologies, including emerging forms of technology. While the Advisor, DIMA, and their affiliates seek to employ reasonable controls with respect to technology, there are nonetheless risks associated with the use of technology. These risks include, but are not limited to: that a technology will not perform as expected or intended; that a technology will change over time without detection by the Advisor, DIMA, and their affiliates; and that a technology is susceptible to cyber security risk and can be configured or used in a way that leads to unexpected or unintended results. For these and other reasons, the use of technology may result in losses, financial or otherwise, to the Portfolio. The Advisor, DIMA, and their affiliates use a range of data sourced internally or from third-party providers in the investment management process. While the Advisor, DIMA, and their affiliates seek to ensure the reliability of the data, such data may be inaccurate, incomplete, inconsistent or out-of-date, which may result in losses, financial or otherwise, to the Portfolio.

**Third Party Puts.** The Portfolio may purchase long-term fixed rate bonds that have been coupled with an option granted by a third party financial institution allowing the Portfolio at specified intervals to tender (put) the bonds to the institution and receive the face value thereof (plus accrued interest). These third party puts are available in several different forms, may be represented by custodial receipts or trust certificates and may be combined with other features such as interest rate swaps. The Portfolio receives a short-term rate of interest (which is periodically reset), and the interest rate differential between that rate and the fixed rate on the bond is retained by the financial institution. The financial institution granting the option does not provide credit enhancement, and in the event that there is a default in the payment of principal or interest, or downgrading of a bond to below investment grade, or a loss of the bond's tax-exempt status, the put option will terminate automatically. As a result, the Portfolio would be subject to the risks associated with holding such a long-term bond and the weighted average maturity of its portfolio would be adversely affected.

These bonds coupled with puts may present the same tax issues as are associated with Stand-By Commitments. As with any Stand-By Commitments acquired by the Portfolio, the Portfolio intends to take the position that it is the owner of any municipal obligation acquired subject to a third-party put, and that tax-exempt interest earned with respect to such municipal obligations will be tax-exempt in its hands. There is no assurance that the IRS will agree with such position in any particular case. Additionally, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of certain other aspects of these investments, including the treatment of tender fees and swap payments, in relation to various regulated investment company tax provisions is unclear. However, DIMA seeks to manage the Portfolio's portfolio in a manner designed to minimize any adverse impact from these investments.

**Yields and Ratings.** The yields on certain obligations in which the Portfolio may invest (such as commercial paper and bank obligations), are dependent on a variety of factors, including general market conditions, conditions in the particular market for the obligation, the financial condition of the issuer, the size of the offering, the maturity of the obligation and the ratings of the issue. The ratings of Moody's Ratings, S&P and Fitch Ratings ("Fitch") represent their opinions as to the quality of the securities that they undertake to rate. Ratings, however, are general and are not absolute standards of quality or value. Consequently,

------

obligations with the same rating, maturity and interest rate may have different market prices. See "Rating Services" for descriptions of the ratings provided by certain recognized rating organizations.

**CYBERSECURITY**

With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet, artificial intelligence technologies and the dependence on computer systems to perform necessary business functions, the Fund is susceptible to operational and information security risks. In general, cyber incidents can result from deliberate attacks or unintentional events and may arise from external or internal sources. Cyber attacks include, but are not limited to gaining unauthorized access to digital systems for purposes of misappropriating assets or sensitive information, corrupting data, or causing operational disruption. Cyber attacks may also be carried out in a manner that does not require gaining unauthorized access, such as causing denial-of-service attacks on websites. Cybersecurity failures or breaches of the Advisor or the Fund's third-party service provider (including, but not limited to, index providers, the custodian and any sub-custodian, the distributor, the administrator and transfer agent), counterparty or the issuers of securities in which the Fund invests, have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, the inability of Fund shareholders to transact business, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs, and/or additional compliance costs. In addition, substantial costs may be incurred in order to prevent any cyber incidents in the future. The Fund and its shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result. While the Fund has established business continuity plans and systems to prevent such cyber attacks, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems including the possibility that certain risks have not been identified and new risks may emerge in the future. The use of cloud-based service providers could heighten or change these risks. In addition, work-from-home arrangements by the Advisor or the Fund's service providers could increase all of the above risks, create additional data and information accessibility concerns, and make the Advisor, the Fund or its service providers susceptible to operational disruptions, any of which could adversely impact their operations. Recently, geopolitical tensions may have increased the scale and sophistication of deliberate cybersecurity attacks, particularly those from nation-states or from entities with nation-state backing. Furthermore, the Fund cannot control the cybersecurity plans and systems, including artificial intelligence, put in place by issuers in which the Fund invests.

**MANAGEMENT**

There may be circumstances outside the control of the Advisor, DIMA, the Trust, the Administrator (as defined below), the transfer agent, the Custodian (as defined below), any sub-custodian, the Distributor, and/or the Fund that make it, for all practical purposes, impossible to re-position the Fund and/or to process a purchase or redemption order. Examples of such circumstances include: natural disasters; public service disruptions or utility problems such as those caused by fires, floods, extreme weather conditions, and power outages resulting in telephone, telecopy, and computer failures; market conditions or activities causing trading halts; systems failures involving computer or other information systems affecting the aforementioned parties, as well as The Depository Trust Company, the National Securities Clearing Corporation, or any other participant in the purchase process; and similar extraordinary events. Accordingly, while the Advisor has implemented and tested a business continuity plan that transfers functions of any disrupted facility to another location and has effected a disaster recovery plan, circumstances, such as those above, may prevent the Fund from being operated in a manner consistent with its investment objective and/or principal investment strategies.

------

**INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS**

The Portfolio has adopted certain investment restrictions as fundamental policies which may not be changed without a vote of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" of the Portfolio. The phrase "majority of outstanding voting securities" is defined in the 1940 Act as the lesser of: (i) 67% or more of the voting securities of the Portfolio present at a meeting of shareholders, if the holders of more than 50% of the voting securities of the Portfolio are present or represented by proxy; or (ii) more than 50% of the voting securities of the Portfolio. All policies of the Portfolio not specifically identified in this SAI or the Prospectus as fundamental may be changed without a vote of the shareholders of the Portfolio, including Government Money Market ProFund. For purposes of the following limitations, all percentage limitations apply immediately after a purchase or initial investment.

The investment restrictions below have been adopted by the Trust with respect to Government Money Market ProFund and/or by the Portfolio as fundamental policies (as defined above). Whenever Government Money Market ProFund is requested to vote on a change in the investment restrictions of the Portfolio, the Trust will hold a meeting of Government Money Market ProFund's shareholders and will cast its votes as instructed by the shareholders. Government Money Market ProFund's shareholders who do not vote will not affect the Trust's votes at the Portfolio meeting.

The percentage of the Trust's votes representing Government Money Market ProFund shareholders not voting will be voted by the Trustees of the Trust in the same proportion as Government Money Market ProFund shareholders who do, in fact, vote.

The Government Money Market ProFund may not:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) borrow money, except as permitted under the 1940 Act, as amended, and as interpreted or modified by regulatory authority having jurisdiction, from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) issue senior securities, except as permitted under the 1940 Act, as amended, and as interpreted or modified by regulatory authority having jurisdiction, from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) concentrate its investments in a particular industry (excluding U.S. Government Obligations), as that term is used in the 1940 Act, as interpreted or modified by the regulatory authority having jurisdiction from time to time; except that the Fund may invest more than 25% of its total assets in banker's acceptances, certificates of deposit and similar instruments issued by U.S. banks, excluding for this purpose, foreign branches of U.S. banks provided, however, that nothing in this investment restriction shall prevent the Trust from investing all or part of the Fund's assets in an open-end management investment company with the same investment objectives as the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) engage in the business of underwriting securities issued by others, except to the extent that the Portfolio/Fund may be deemed to be an underwriter in connection with the disposition of portfolio securities; provided, however, that nothing in this investment restriction shall prevent the Trust from investing all of the Fund's assets in an open-end management investment company with substantially the same investment objectives as the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) make loans except as permitted under the 1940 Act, as amended, and as interpreted or modified by regulatory authority having jurisdiction, from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) purchase or sell real estate, which term does not include securities of companies which hold, deal or trade in real estate or mortgages or investments secured by real estate or interests therein, except that the Portfolio/Fund reserves freedom of action to hold and to sell real estate acquired as a result of the Portfolio's/Fund's ownership of securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7) purchase or sell commodities, except as permitted by the 1940 Act, as amended, and as interpreted or modified by the regulatory authority having jurisdiction, from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(8) The Fund has elected to be treated as a diversified investment company, as that term is used in

------

the 1940 Act, as amended, and as interpreted or modified by regulatory authority having jurisdiction, from time to time; provided, however, that nothing in this investment restriction shall prevent the Trust from investing all or part of a Fund's assets in an open-end management investment company with substantially the same investment objectives as the Fund.

As a matter of fundamental policy, the Portfolio may not do any of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) borrow money, except as permitted under the 1940 Act, as interpreted or modified by regulatory authority having jurisdiction, from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) issue senior securities, except as permitted under the 1940 Act, as interpreted or modified by regulatory authority having jurisdiction, from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) purchase or sell commodities, except as permitted by the 1940 Act, as interpreted or modified by regulatory authority having jurisdiction, from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) engage in the business of underwriting securities issued by others, except to the extent that the Portfolio may be deemed to be an underwriter in connection with the disposition of portfolio securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) purchase or sell real estate, which term does not include securities of companies which deal in real estate or mortgages or investments secured by real estate or interests therein, except that the Portfolio reserves freedom of action to hold and to sell real estate acquired as a result of the Portfolio's ownership of securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) make loans except as permitted under the 1940 Act, as interpreted or modified by regulatory authority having jurisdiction, from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7) concentrate its investments in a particular industry, as that term is used in the 1940 Act, as interpreted or modified by regulatory authority having jurisdiction, from time to time.

The following is intended to help investors better understand the meaning of the fundamental policies of the Fund and the Portfolio by briefly describing limitations, if any, imposed by the 1940 Act. References to the 1940 Act below may encompass rules, regulations or orders issued by the SEC and, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Fund, interpretations and guidance provided by the SEC staff. These descriptions are intended as brief summaries of such limitations as of the date of this SAI; they are not comprehensive and they are qualified in all cases by reference to the 1940 Act (including any rules, regulations or orders issued by the SEC and any relevant interpretations and guidance provided the by SEC staff).

These descriptions are subject to change based on evolving guidance by the appropriate regulatory authority and are not part of the Fund's fundamental policies.

The 1940 Act generally permits a fund to borrow money in amounts of up to 33 1/3% of its total assets from banks for any purpose, and to borrow up to 5% of its total assets from banks or other lenders for temporary purposes (a loan is presumed to be for temporary purposes if it is repaid within 60 days and is not extended or renewed). The 1940 Act requires that after any borrowing from a bank, a fund shall maintain an asset coverage of at least 300% for all of the fund's borrowings, and, in the event that such asset coverage shall at any time fall below 300%, a fund must, within three days thereafter (not including Sundays and holidays), reduce the amount of its borrowings to an extent that the asset coverage of all of a fund's borrowings shall be at least 300%. For additional information, see "Borrowing" above.

At present, the 1940 Act does not set forth a maximum percentage of a fund's assets that may be invested in commodities. Under the 1940 Act, a fund generally may not lend portfolio securities representing more than one-third of its total asset value (including the value of collateral received for loans of portfolio securities).

The SEC Staff has stated a position that investment of more than 25% of the value of a fund's assets in any one industry represents concentration (excluding U.S. government securities). In order to comply with

------

certain statutes and policies, the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, will not, as a matter of non-fundamental operating policy (except that no operating policy shall prevent the Fund from investing all or a part of its assets in an open-end investment company with substantially the same investment objective):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) invest for the purpose of exercising control or management.

In addition, with respect to the Portfolio, as a matter of non-fundamental policy:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) the Portfolio may not acquire securities of other investment companies, except as permitted by the 1940 Act and the rules, regulations and any applicable exemptive order issued thereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) the Portfolio may not lend portfolio securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) the Portfolio will enter into when-issued or delayed delivery transactions for the purpose of acquiring securities and not for the purpose of leverage.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) the Portfolio may only use banks which, in the opinion of DIMA, are of investment quality comparable to other permitted investments of the Portfolio for letter of credit backed investments.

There will be no violation of any investment restrictions or policies (except with respect to fundamental investment restriction (1) above) if that restriction is complied with at the time the relevant action is taken, notwithstanding a later change in market value of an investment, in net or total assets, or in the change of securities rating of the investment, or any other later change.

**MANAGEMENT OF THE TRUST**

**THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND ITS LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE**

The Board has general oversight responsibility with respect to the operation of the Trust and the Fund. The Board has engaged ProFund Advisors to manage the Fund and is responsible for overseeing ProFund Advisors and other service providers to the Trust and the Fund in accordance with the provisions of the federal securities laws.

The Board is currently composed of four Trustees, including three Independent Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Fund, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act (each an "Independent Trustee"). In addition to four regularly scheduled meetings per year, the Board periodically meets in executive session (with and without employees of ProFund Advisors), and holds special meetings, and/or informal conference calls relating to specific matters that may require discussion or action prior to its next regular meeting. The Independent Trustees have retained "independent legal counsel" as the term is defined in the 1940 Act.

The Board has appointed Michael L. Sapir to serve as Chairman of the Board. Mr. Sapir is also the Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of ProFund Advisors and, as such, is not an Independent Trustee. The Chairman's primary role is to participate in the preparation of the agenda for Board meetings, determine (with the advice of counsel) which matters need to be acted upon by the Board, and to ensure that the Board obtains all the information necessary to perform its functions and take action. The Chairman also presides at all meetings of the Board and acts, with the assistance of staff, as a liaison with service providers, officers, attorneys and the Independent Trustees between meetings. The Chairman performs such other functions as requested by the Board from time to time. The Board does not have a lead Independent Trustee.

The Board has determined that its leadership structure is appropriate in light of the characteristics of the Trust and the Fund. These characteristics include, among other things, the fact that multiple series are organized under one Trust; all series of the Trust are registered investment companies; all series of the Trust have common service providers; and that the majority of the series of the Trust are geared funds, with similar principal investment strategies. As a result, the Board addresses governance and management issues that are often common to each series of the Trust. In light of these characteristics, the Board has determined that a four-member Board, including three Independent Trustees, is of an adequate size to oversee the operations of the Trust, and that, in light of the small size of the Board, a complex Board leadership structure is not necessary or desirable. The relatively small size of the Board facilitates ready communication among the Board members, and between the Board and management, both at Board meetings and between meetings, further leading to the determination that a complex board structure is unnecessary. In view of the small size of the Board, the Board has concluded that designating one of the three Independent Trustees as the "lead Independent Trustee" would not be likely to meaningfully enhance the effectiveness of the Board. The Board reviews its leadership structure at least annually and believes that its structure is appropriate to enable the Board to exercise its oversight of the Fund.

The Board oversight of the Trust and the Fund extends to the Trust's risk management processes. The Board and its Audit Committee consider risk management issues as part of their responsibilities throughout the year at regular and special meetings. ProFund Advisors and other service providers prepare regular reports for Board and Audit Committee meetings that address a variety of risk-related matters, and the Board as a whole or the Audit Committee may also receive special written reports or presentations on a variety of risk issues at the request of the Board or the Audit Committee. For example, the portfolio managers of the Fund meet regularly with the Board to discuss portfolio performance, including investment risk, counterparty risk and the impact on the Fund of investments in particular securities or derivatives. As noted above, given the relatively small size of the Board, the Board determined it is not necessary to adopt a complex leadership structure in order for the Board to effectively exercise its risk oversight function.

The Board has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO") for the Trust (who is also the CCO for ProShare Advisors LLC). The CCO reports directly to the Board and participates in the Board's meetings. The Independent Trustees meet at least annually in executive session with the CCO, and the Fund's CCO prepares and presents an annual written compliance report to the Board. The CCO also provides updates to

------

the Board on the operation of the Trust's compliance policies and procedures and on how these procedures are designed to mitigate risk. Finally, the CCO and/or other officers or employees of ProFund Advisors report to the Board in the event that any material risk issues arise.

In addition, the Audit Committee of the Board meets regularly with the Trust's independent public accounting firm to review reports on, among other things, the Fund's controls over financial reporting. The Trustees, their birth date, term of office and length of time served, principal business occupations during the past five years and the number of portfolios in the Fund Complex overseen and other directorships, if any, held by each Trustee, are shown below. Unless noted otherwise, the address of each Trustee is: c/o ProFunds, 7272 Wisconsin Avenue, 21<sup>st</sup> Floor, Bethesda, Maryland 20814.

\*

The "Fund Complex" consists of all operational registered investment companies under the 1940 Act that are advised by ProFund Advisors and any registered investment companies that have an investment adviser that is an affiliated person of ProFund Advisors. Investment companies that are non-operational (and therefore, not publicly offered) as of the date of this SAI are excluded from these figures.

\*\*

Mr. Sapir is an "interested person," as defined by the 1940 Act, because of his ownership interest in ProFund Advisors.

The Board was formed in 1997 prior to the inception of the Trust's operations. Messrs. Reynolds, Wachs and Sapir were appointed to serve as the Board's initial trustees prior to the Trust's operations. Mr. Fertig was added in June 2011. Each Trustee was and is currently believed to possess the specific experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills necessary to serve as a Trustee of the Trust. In addition to their years of service as Trustees to Trust, and gathering experience with funds with investment objectives and principal investment strategies similar to certain series of the Trust, each individual brings experience and qualifications from other areas. In particular, Mr. Reynolds has significant senior executive experience in the areas of human resources and recruitment and executive organization; Mr. Wachs has significant experience in the areas of investment and real estate development; Mr. Sapir has significant experience in the field of investment management, both as an executive and as an attorney; and Mr. Fertig has significant experience in the areas of investment and asset management.

**COMMITTEES**

The Board has established an Audit Committee to assist the Board in performing oversight responsibilities. The Audit Committee is composed exclusively of Independent Trustees. Currently, the Audit Committee is composed of Messrs. Reynolds, Wachs and Fertig. Among other things, the Audit Committee makes recommendations to the full Board of Trustees with respect to the engagement of an independent registered public accounting firm and reviews with the independent registered public accounting firm the plan and results of the internal controls, audit engagement and matters having a material effect on the Trust's financial operations. During the past fiscal year, the Audit Committee met six times, and the Board of Trustees met four times.

**TRUSTEE OWNERSHIP**

Listed below for each Trustee is a dollar range of securities beneficially owned in the Trust, together with the aggregate dollar range of equity securities in all registered investment companies overseen by each Trustee that are in the same family of investment companies as the Trust, as of December 31, 2025.

As of April 1, 2026, the Trustees and officers, as a group, did not own shares outstanding that entitled them to give voting instructions with respect to one percent or more of the shares outstanding of the Fund.

------

No Independent Trustee (or an immediate family member thereof) has any share ownership in securities of the Advisor, the principal underwriter of the Trust, or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Advisor or principal underwriter of the Trust (not including registered investment companies) as of December 31, 2025.

**COMPENSATION OF TRUSTEES**

Each Independent Trustee is paid a $375,000 annual retainer for service as a Trustee on the Board and for service as a trustee on the board of other funds in the Fund Complex. Prior to September 1, 2025, each Independent Trustee was paid a $325,000 annual retainer. Trustees who are also Officers or affiliated persons receive no remuneration from the Trust for their services as Trustees.

The Trust does not accrue pension or retirement benefits as part of the Fund's expenses, and Trustees are not entitled to benefits upon retirement from the Board of Trustees.

The following table shows aggregate compensation paid to the Trustees for their service on the Board for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

**DWS INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AMERICAS, INC.**

DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc., ("DIMA"), with headquarters at 875 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10022, is the investment advisor for the Portfolio. Under the oversight of the DWS Board, DIMA makes investment decisions, buys and sells securities for the Portfolio and conducts research that leads to these purchase and sale decisions. DIMA is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of DWS Group GmbH & Co. KGaA ("DWS Group"), a separate, publicly-listed financial services firm that is an indirect, majority-owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG. DIMA and its predecessors have more than 95 years of experience managing mutual funds and provide a full range of global investment advisory services to institutional and retail clients.

DWS represents the asset management activities conducted by DWS Group or any of its subsidiaries, including DIMA. DWS is a global organization that offers a wide range of investing expertise and resources, including hundreds of portfolio managers and analysts and an office network that reaches the world's major investment centers. This well-resourced global investment platform brings together a wide variety of experience and investment insight across industries, regions asset classes and investing styles.

DIMA and its affiliates may utilize the resources of DWS's global investment platform to provide investment management services through branch offices or affiliates located outside the U.S. In some cases, DIMA may also utilize DWS's branch offices or affiliates located in the U.S. or outside the U.S. to perform certain services, such as trade execution, trade matching and settlement, or various administrative, back-office or other services. The delegation of trade execution, trade matching and settlement services to DWS's branch offices or affiliates will not result in additional fees for the Portfolio or its shareholders. The branch offices or affiliates receive a flat fee for their trade routing services, payable by DIMA, and do not have authority to select portfolio investments or otherwise provide advice to the Portfolio. DWS's branch offices or affiliates may have discretion to select intermediaries to execute trades and to aggregate trade orders for the Portfolio with those of other DWS funds as well as non-DWS funds clients. The delegation of trade execution, trade matching and settlement services to DWS's branch offices or affiliates may result in certain cost savings for DIMA and its affiliates through consolidation of functions and, as a result, may create a conflict of interest between DIMA and its affiliates and the Portfolio. To the extent services are performed outside the U.S., such activity may be subject to both U.S. and foreign regulation. It is possible that the jurisdiction in which DIMA or its affiliate performs such services may impose restrictions or limitations on portfolio transactions that are different from, and in addition to, those that apply in the U.S.

In some instances, the investments for a fund may be managed by the same individuals who manage one or more other mutual funds advised by DIMA that have similar names, objectives and investment styles. A fund may differ from these other mutual funds in size, cash flow patterns, distribution arrangements, expenses and tax matters. Accordingly, the holdings and performance of a fund may be expected to vary from those of other mutual funds.

Certain investments may be appropriate for the Portfolio and also for other clients advised by DIMA. Investment decisions for a fund and other clients are made with a view to achieving their respective investment objectives and after consideration of such factors as their current holdings, availability of cash for investment and the size of their investments generally. Frequently, a particular security may be bought or sold for only one client or in different amounts and at different times for more than one but less than all clients. Likewise, a particular security may be bought for one or more clients when one or more other clients are selling the security. In addition, purchases or sales of the same security may be made for two or more clients on the same day. In such event, such transactions will be allocated among the clients in a manner believed by DIMA to be equitable to each. In some cases, this procedure could have an adverse effect on the price or amount of the securities purchased or sold by a fund. Purchase and sale orders for a fund may be combined with those of other clients of DIMA in the interest of achieving the most favorable net results to a fund.

DIMA, its parent or its subsidiaries, or affiliates may have deposit, loan and other commercial banking relationships with the issuers of obligations which may be purchased on behalf of the Portfolio, including outstanding loans to such issuers which could be repaid in whole or in part with the proceeds of

------

securities so purchased. Such affiliates deal, trade and invest for their own accounts in such obligations and are among the leading dealers of various types of such obligations. DIMA has informed the Portfolio that, in making its investment decisions, it does not obtain or use material inside information in its possession or in the possession of any of its affiliates. In making investment recommendations for the Portfolio, DIMA will not inquire or take into consideration whether an issuer of securities proposed for purchase or sale by the Portfolio is a customer of DIMA, its parent or its subsidiaries or affiliates. Also, in dealing with its customers, DIMA, its parent, subsidiaries, and affiliates will not inquire or take into consideration whether securities of such customers are held by any fund managed by DIMA or any such affiliate.

DIMA, DWS Distributors, Inc. and their advisory affiliates ("DWS Service Providers") have sought and obtained a permanent order from the SEC providing exemptive relief under Section 9 of the 1940 Act on which the DWS Service Providers rely in connection with the continued provision of investment advisory and underwriting services to the funds and other registered investment companies.

Pursuant to the investment management agreement between the Portfolio and DIMA (the "Investment Management Agreement"), DIMA provides continuing investment management of the assets of the Portfolio. In addition to the investment management of the assets of the Portfolio, DIMA determines the investments to be made for the Portfolio, including what portion of its assets remain uninvested in cash or cash equivalents, and with whom the orders for investments are placed, consistent with the Portfolio's policies as stated in its prospectus and SAI, or as adopted by the Portfolio's Board. DIMA will also monitor, to the extent not monitored by the Portfolio's administrator or other agent, the Portfolio's compliance with its investment and tax guidelines and other compliance policies.

Under the Investment Management Agreement, the Portfolio pays DIMA a fee, calculated daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.1200% on the first $3 billion of the Portfolio's average daily net assets, 0.1025% on the next $4.5 billion and 0.0900% thereafter. As an interested holder of the Portfolio, the Government Money Market ProFund bears its proportionate share of this fee.

Through December 31, 2025, DIMA was the Portfolio's investment advisor; fees paid through this date were received by DIMA. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, DIMA earned $30,640,663, $34,685,171 and $32,098,644, respectively, as compensation for investment advisory services provided to the Portfolio. During the same periods, DIMA voluntarily reimbursed certain expenses of the Portfolio in the approximate amounts of $15,133,377, $8,434,068 and $6,668,937, respectively.

From time to time, DIMA may voluntarily waive a portion of its fees and/or reimburse certain operating expenses of the Portfolio. These voluntary waivers and/or reimbursements may be terminated at any time at the option of DIMA.

DIMA and its affiliates may voluntarily waive a portion of their fees and/or reimburse certain expenses to the extent necessary to assist the Portfolio in attempting to avoid a negative yield. There is no guarantee that the Portfolio will avoid a negative yield. These voluntary waivers and/or reimbursements may be amended or terminated at any time at the option of DIMA. These voluntary waivers and/or reimbursements are in addition to any existing contractual expense limitations.

Pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement, (unless otherwise provided in the agreement or as determined by the Portfolio's Board and to the extent permitted by applicable law), DIMA pays the compensation and expenses of all the Portfolio's Board members, officers, and executive employees of the Portfolio, including the Portfolio's share of payroll taxes, who are affiliated persons of DIMA.

The Investment Management Agreement provides that the Portfolio, except as noted below, is generally responsible for expenses that include, but are not limited to: fees payable to DIMA; outside legal, accounting or auditing expenses, including with respect to expenses related to negotiation, acquisition or distribution of portfolio investments; maintenance of books and records that are maintained by the Portfolio, the Portfolio's custodian, or other agents of the Portfolio; taxes and governmental fees; fees and expenses of the Portfolio's accounting agent, custodian, sub-custodians, depositories, transfer agents, dividend reimbursing agents and registrars; payment for portfolio pricing or valuation services to pricing agents, accountants,

------

bankers and other specialists, if any; brokerage commissions or other costs of acquiring or disposing of any portfolio securities or other instruments of the Portfolio; and litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Portfolio's business.

DIMA may enter into arrangements with affiliates and third party service providers to perform various administrative, backoffice and other services. Such service providers may be located in the U.S. or in non-U.S. jurisdictions. The costs and expenses of such arrangements are generally borne by DIMA, not by the Portfolio.

Shareholders are not parties to, or intended (or "third party") beneficiaries of the Investment Management Agreement, and the Investment Management Agreement is not intended to create in any shareholder any right to enforce it or to seek any remedy under it, either directly or on behalf of the Portfolio.

The Investment Management Agreement allows DIMA to delegate any of its duties under the Investment Management Agreement to a subadvisor, subject to a majority vote of the Portfolio's Board, including a majority of the Board who are not interested persons of the Portfolio, and, if required by applicable law, subject to a majority vote of the Portfolio's shareholders.

The Investment Management Agreement provides that DIMA shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Portfolio in connection with matters to which the agreement relates, except a loss resulting from willful malfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of DIMA in the performance of its duties or from reckless disregard by DIMA of its obligations and duties under the agreement. The Investment Management Agreement may be terminated at any time, without payment of penalty, by either party or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio on 60 days' written notice.

The Investment Management Agreement continues in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved annually by the vote of a majority of the Portfolio's Board Members who are not parties to such agreement or interested persons of any such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, (unless otherwise exempted from this requirement) and either by a vote of the Portfolio's Board or of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio.

DIMA serves as the Portfolio's administrator pursuant to an Administrative Services Agreement. Under the Administrative Services Agreement, DIMA is obligated on a continuous basis to provide such administrative services as the Portfolio's Board of Trustees reasonably deems necessary for the proper administration of the Portfolio. DIMA provides the Portfolio with personnel; arranges for the preparation and filing of the Portfolio's tax returns; prepares and submits reports and meeting materials to the Portfolio's Board and the shareholders; prepares and files updates to the Portfolio's prospectus and statement of additional information as well as other reports required to be filed by the SEC; maintains the Portfolio's records; provides the Portfolio with office space, equipment and services; supervises, negotiates the contracts of and monitors the performance of third parties contractors; oversees the tabulation of proxies; monitors the valuation of portfolio securities and monitors compliance with Board-approved valuation procedures; assists in establishing the accounting and tax policies of the Portfolio; assists in the resolution of accounting issues that may arise with respect to the Portfolio; establishes and monitors the Portfolio's operating expense budgets; reviews and processes the Portfolio's bills; assists in determining the amount of dividends and distributions available to be paid by the Portfolio, prepares and arranges dividend notifications and provides information to agents to effect payments thereof; provides to the Portfolio's Board periodic and special reports; provides assistance with investor and public relations matters; and monitors the registration of shares under applicable federal and state law. DIMA, as administrator to the Portfolio, also performs certain fund accounting services under the Administrative Services Agreement.

The Administrative Services Agreement provides that DIMA will not be liable under the Administrative Services Agreement except for willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties or from the reckless disregard by it of its duties and obligations thereunder.

------

Pursuant to an agreement between DIMA and State Street Bank & Trust Company ("SSB"), DIMA has delegated certain administrative functions to SSB. The costs and expenses of such delegation are borne by DIMA, not by the Portfolio.

In certain instances, the Portfolio may be eligible to participate in class action settlements involving securities presently or formerly held by the Portfolio. Pursuant to DIMA's procedures, approved by the Portfolio's Board, proof of claim forms are routinely filed on behalf of the Portfolio by a third party service provider, with certain limited exceptions. The Portfolio's Board receives periodic reports regarding the implementation of these procedures. Under some circumstances, DIMA may decide that the Portfolio should not participate in a class action, and instead cause the Portfolio to pursue alternative legal remedies. Where the rights and interests of the Portfolio differ, DIMA might take different approaches to the same class action claim.

For all services provided under the Administrative Services Agreement, the Portfolio pays DIMA an annual fee ("Administrative Services Fee") of 0.03% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly. For the years ended December 31, 2023, December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2025, the Administration Fee was $9,726,055, $11,074,224 and $10,212,048, respectively, with a fee waiver of $0, $0 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2023, December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Government Money Market ProFund and the Portfolio bear certain other expenses incurred in their operation, including: taxes, interest, brokerage fees and commissions, if any; fees of Trustees of the Trust or Portfolio who are not officers, directors or employees of DIMA, the Advisor, the administrator or any of their affiliates; SEC fees and state Blue Sky qualification fees, if any; administrative and services fees; certain insurance premiums, outside auditing and legal expenses, and costs of maintenance of corporate existence; costs attributable to investor services, including without limitation, telephone and personnel expenses; and printing prospectuses and statements of additional information for regulatory purposes and for distribution to existing shareholders; costs of shareholders' reports and meetings of shareholders, officers and Trustees of the Trust or the Portfolio; and any extraordinary expenses.

These programs include any type of arrangement through which investors have an indirect beneficial ownership interest in the Fund via omnibus accounts, insurance company separate accounts, bank common or collective trust funds, employee benefit plans or similar arrangements (each a "financial intermediary account"). Under these programs, the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, may enter into the administrative services agreements with Financial Intermediaries pursuant to which Financial Intermediaries will provide transfer agency, administrative services and other services with respect to the Fund. These services may include, but are not limited to: shareholder record set-up and maintenance, account statement preparation and mailing, transaction processing and settlement and account level tax reporting.

The Financial Intermediary may impose other account or service charges to the Fund

or directly to account holders. Please refer to information provided by the Financial Intermediary for additional information regarding such charges.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 the Advisor paid, out of its own resources, $197,420 to administrative service providers for all December 31 fiscal year end series of the Trust, including series not included in this SAI.

**DISTRIBUTION OF FUND SHARES**

**DISTRIBUTOR**

The Distributor, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Advisor serves as the distributor and principal underwriter in all fifty states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico and offers shares of the Fund on a continuous basis. Its address is 7272 Wisconsin Avenue, 21<sup>st</sup> Floor, Bethesda, Maryland 20814. The Distributor has no role in determining the investment policies of the Trust or which securities are to be purchased or sold by the Trust.

**DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE (12b-1) PLAN (SERVICE CLASS SHARES)**

The Board has approved a Distribution and Service Plan under which the Fund may pay financial intermediaries such as broker-dealers ("Authorized Firms") up to 1.00%, on an annualized basis, of average daily net assets attributable to Service Class Shares as reimbursement or compensation for distribution-related activities with respect to Service Class Shares and shareholder services (the "Service Class Plan"). Under the Service Class Plan, the Trust or the Distributor may enter into agreements ("Distribution and Service Agreements") with Authorized Firms that purchase Service Class Shares on behalf of their clients. The Distribution and Service Agreements will provide for compensation to the Authorized Firms in an amount up to 1.00% (on an annual basis) of the average daily net assets of the Service Class Shares of the Fund attributable to, or held in the name of the Authorized Firm for, its clients. The Fund may pay different distribution and/or service fee amounts to Authorized Firms, which may provide different levels of services to their clients or customers.

The Advisor, the Distributor and other service providers or their affiliates, may utilize their own resources to finance distribution or service activities on behalf of the Fund for distribution related activities or the provision of shareholder services not otherwise covered by the Service Class Plan.

The Service Class Plan is operated as a "compensation" plan, as payments may be made for services rendered to the Fund regardless of the level of expenditures by the Authorized Firms. The Trustees will, however, take into account such expenditures for purposes of reviewing operations under the Service Class Plan in connection with their annual consideration of the Service Class Plan's renewal for the Fund. The Service Class Plan authorizes payments as compensation or reimbursement for activities such as, without limitation: (1) advertising; (2) compensation of the Distributor, securities broker-dealers and sales personnel; (3) production and dissemination of Service Class prospectuses to prospective investors; (4) printing and mailing sales and marketing materials; (5) capital or other expenses of associated equipment, rent, salaries, bonuses, interest, and other overhead or financing charges; (6) receiving and processing shareholder orders; (7) performing the accounting for Service Class shareholder accounts; (8) maintaining retirement plan accounts; (9) answering questions and handling correspondence for individual accounts; (10) acting as the sole

------

shareholder of record for individual shareholders; (11) issuing shareholder reports and transaction confirmations; (12) executing daily investment "sweep" functions; and (13) furnishing investment advisory services.

The Service Class Plan and Distribution and Service Agreements continue in effect from year-to-year only if such continuance is specifically approved annually by a vote of the Trustees of the Trust, including a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Service Class Plan or the related Distribution and Service Agreements. All material amendments of the Service Class Plan must also be approved by the Trustees in the manner described above. The Service Class Plan may be terminated at any time by a majority of the Trustees as described above or by vote of a majority of the outstanding Service Class Shares of the Fund. The Distribution and Service Agreements may be terminated at any time, without payment of any penalty, by vote of a majority of the Trustees as described above or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding Service Class Shares of the Fund on not more than 60 days' written notice to any other party to the Distribution and Service Agreements. The Distribution and Service Agreements shall terminate automatically if assigned. The Trustees have determined that, in their judgment, there is a reasonable likelihood that the Service Class Plan will benefit each Fund and holders of Service Class Shares of the Fund. In the Trustees' quarterly review of the Service Class Plan and Distribution and Service Agreements, they will consider their continued appropriateness and the level of compensation and/or reimbursement provided therein.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, fees were paid under the Plans to authorized financial intermediaries in the following amounts:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Paid** | **Waived** |
| Government Money Market ProFund | $95048 | $— |

---

**DISTRIBUTION OF FUND SHARES TO GOVERNMENT RETIREMENT PLANS**

The Fund will not accept purchases from any government plan or program as defined under Rule 206(4)-5(f)(8) under the Advisers Act. Specifically, the Fund will not accept, and any broker-dealer should not accept, any order for the purchase of Fund shares on behalf of any participant-directed investment program or plan sponsored or established by a State or political subdivision or any agency, authority or instrumentality thereof, including, but not limited to, a "qualified tuition plan" authorized by Section 529 of the Code, a retirement plan authorized by Section 403(b) or 457 of the Code, or any similar program or plan.

**OTHER MATTERS**

**COSTS AND EXPENSES**

The Fund bears all expenses of its operations other than those assumed by ProFund Advisors or the Administrator. Expenses may be incurred that relate to all series or a subset of series in the Fund Complex. The allocation of such expenses raises potential conflicts of interest. The Trust has established procedures designed to promote a fair, reasonable, and equitable allocation of expenses and to avoid cross-subsidization of one series by other series in the Fund Complex.

**PAYMENTS TO THIRD PARTIES FROM THE ADVISOR AND/OR DISTRIBUTOR**

As disclosed in the Prospectus, the Advisor and the Distributor may from time to time pay significant amounts to financial firms in connection with the sale or servicing of the Fund and for other services such as those described in the Prospectus. This information is provided in order to assist broker-dealers in satisfying certain requirements of Rule 10b-10 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which provides that broker-dealers must provide information to customers regarding any

------

remuneration they receive in connection with a sales transaction. You should consult your financial advisor and review carefully any disclosure by the financial firm as to compensation received by your financial advisor.

In addition, the Advisor, the Distributor and their affiliates may from time to time make additional payments such as cash bonuses or provide other incentives to selected financial firms as compensation for services (including preferential services) such as, without limitation, paying for active asset allocation services provided to investors in the Fund, providing the Fund with "shelf space" or a higher profile with the financial firms' financial consultants and their customers, placing the Fund on the financial firms' preferred or recommended fund list or otherwise identifying the Fund as being part of a complex to be accorded a higher degree of marketing support than complexes not making such payments, granting the Advisor or Distributor access to the financial firms' financial consultants (including through the firms' intranet websites) in order to promote the Fund, promotions in communications with financial firms' customers such as in the firms' internet websites or in customer newsletters, providing assistance in training and educating the financial firms' personnel, and furnishing marketing support and other specified services. These payments may be significant to the financial firms and may also take the form of sponsorship of seminars or informational meetings or payment for attendance by persons associated with the financial firms at seminars or informational meetings.

A number of factors will be considered in determining the amount of these additional payments to financial firms. On some occasions, such payments may be conditioned upon levels of sales, including the sale of a specified minimum dollar amount of the shares of the Fund, all other Funds, other funds sponsored by the Advisor and its affiliates together and/or a particular class of shares, during a specified period of time. The Distributor and the Advisor may also make payments to one or more participating financial firms based upon factors such as the amount of assets a financial firm's clients have invested in the Fund and the quality of the financial firm's relationship with the Distributor or the Advisor and its affiliates.

The additional payments described above are made out of the Distributor's or the Advisor's (or their affiliates') own assets, as applicable, pursuant to agreements with brokers and do not change the price paid by investors for the purchase of the Fund's shares or the amount the Fund will receive as proceeds from such sales. These payments may be made to financial firms selected by the Distributor or the Advisor or their affiliates to the financial firms that have sold significant amounts of shares of the Fund. Dealers may not use sales of the Fund's shares to qualify for this compensation to the extent prohibited by the laws or rules of any state or any self-regulatory agency, such as FINRA. The level of payment made to financial firm(s) in any future year will vary, may be subject to certain minimum payment levels, and is typically calculated as a percentage of sales made to and/or assets held by customers of the financial firm. In some cases, in addition to the payments described above, the Distributor, the Advisor and/or their affiliates will make payments for special events such as a conferences or seminars sponsored by one of such financial firms.

If investment advisers, distributors or affiliates of mutual funds pay bonuses and incentives in differing amounts, financial firms and their financial consultants may have financial incentives for recommending a particular mutual fund (including Funds) over other mutual funds. In addition, depending on the arrangements in place at any particular time, a financial firm and its financial consultants may also have a financial incentive for recommending a particular share class over other share classes. You should consult with your financial advisor and review carefully any disclosure by the financial firm as to compensation received by that firm and/or your financial advisor.

Representatives of the Distributor, the Advisor and their affiliates visit brokerage firms on a regular basis to educate financial advisors about the Fund and to encourage the sale of Fund shares to their clients. The costs and expenses associated with these efforts may include, but are not limited to, travel, lodging, sponsorship at educational seminars and conferences, entertainment and meals to the extent permitted by law.

Although the Fund may use financial firms that sell Fund shares to effect transactions for the Fund's portfolio, the Fund and the Advisor will not consider the sale of Fund shares as a factor when choosing financial firms to make those transactions.

------

**CODE OF ETHICS**

The Trust, ProFund Advisors and the Distributor each have adopted a consolidated code of ethics (the "COE"), under Rule 17j-1 of the 1940 Act, which is reasonably designed to ensure that all acts, practices and courses of business engaged in by personnel of the Trust, ProFund Advisors and the Distributor reflect high standards of conduct and comply with the requirements of the federal securities laws. There can be no assurance that the COE will be effective in preventing deceptive, manipulative or fraudulent activities. The COE permits personnel subject to it to invest in securities, including securities that may be held or purchased by the Fund; however, such transactions are reported on a regular basis by ProFund Advisors' personnel that are Access Persons. Access Persons, as the term is defined in the COE, subject to the COE are also required to report transactions in registered open-end investment companies advised or sub-advised by ProFund Advisors. The COE is on file with the SEC and is available to the public.

**DWS INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AMERICAS, INC. CODE OF ETHICS**

The Portfolio, DIMA and its affiliates (including the Portfolio's exclusive placement agent) have adopted Codes of Ethics under Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act. The Portfolio's Board Members, officers of the Portfolio and employees of DIMA and the Portfolio's exclusive placement agent are permitted to make personal securities transactions, including transactions in securities that may be purchased or held by the Portfolio, subject to requirements and restrictions set forth in the applicable Code of Ethics. DIMA's Code of Ethics contains provisions and requirements designed to identify and address certain conflicts of interest between personal investment activities and the interests of the Portfolio. Among other things, DIMA's Code of Ethics prohibits certain types of transactions absent prior approval, imposes time periods during which personal transactions may not be made in certain securities, and requires the submission of duplicate broker confirmations and quarterly reporting of securities transactions. Additional restrictions apply to portfolio managers, traders, research analysts and others involved in the investment advisory process. Exceptions to these and other provisions of DIMA's Code of Ethics may be granted in particular circumstances after review by appropriate personnel. The Code of Ethics is on public file with, and is available from, the SEC.

**PROXY VOTING POLICY AND PROCEDURES**

***Background*** 

The Board of Trustees has adopted policies and procedures with respect to voting proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Fund, pursuant to which the Board of Trustees has delegated responsibility for voting such proxies to ProFund Advisors subject to the Board's continuing oversight.

***Policies and Procedures*** 

The Advisor's proxy voting policies and procedures (the "Guidelines") are reasonably designed to maximize shareholder value and protect shareholder interests when voting proxies. The Advisor's Brokerage Allocation and Proxy Voting Committee (the "Proxy Committee") exercises and documents the Advisor's responsibilities with regard to voting of client proxies. The Proxy Committee is composed of employees of the Advisor. The Proxy Committee reviews and monitors the effectiveness of the Guidelines. To assist the Advisor in its responsibility for voting proxies and the overall proxy voting process, the Advisor has retained Institutional Shareholder Services ("ISS") as an expert in the proxy voting and corporate governance area. The Proxy Committee reviews and, as necessary, may amend periodically the Guidelines to address new or revised proxy voting policies or procedures.

Information on how proxies were voted for portfolio securities for the 12-month (or shorter) period ended June 30 is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Advisor at 888-776-3637 or on the Trust's website at profunds.com, or on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov. See Appendix C for a copy of the proxy voting policy and procedures.

------

You may obtain information about how the Portfolio voted proxies related to its portfolio securities during the 12-month period ended June 30 by visiting the SEC's website at www.sec.gov or by visiting the Portfolio's website at: dws.com/en-us/resources/proxy-voting

**DISCLOSURE OF PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS**

In addition to the public disclosure of the Portfolio's portfolio holdings through required SEC monthly filings, the Portfolio may make its portfolio holdings information publicly available on the DWS Portfolio's website as described in the Portfolio's Private Offering Memorandum. The Portfolio does not disseminate non-public information about portfolio holdings except in accordance with policies and procedures adopted by the Portfolio. The Portfolio's procedures permit non-public portfolio holdings information to be shared with DWS and its affiliates, subadvisors, if any, administrators, sub-administrators, fund accountants, custodians, sub-custodians, independent registered public accounting firms, attorneys, officers and trustees/directors and each of their respective affiliates and advisors who require access to this information to fulfill their duties to the Portfolio and are subject to the duties of confidentiality, including the duty not to trade on non-public information, imposed by law or contract, or by the Portfolio's procedures. This non-public information may also be disclosed, subject to the requirements described below, to certain third parties, such as securities lending agents, financial printers, proxy voting firms, mutual fund analysts and rating and tracking agencies, and, on an ad hoc basis, transition managers, or to shareholders in connection with in-kind redemptions or, in connection with investing in underlying funds, subadvisors to DWS fund of funds (collectively, "Authorized Third Parties").

Prior to any disclosure of the Portfolio's non-public portfolio holdings information to Authorized Third Parties, a person authorized by the Portfolio's Trustees must make a good faith determination in light of the facts then known that the Portfolio has a legitimate business purpose for providing the information, that the disclosure is in the best interest of the Portfolio, and that the recipient assents or otherwise has a duty to keep the information confidential and to not trade based on the information received while the information remains non-public and that the disclosure would be in compliance with all applicable laws and DWS's and a subadvisor's fiduciary duties to the Portfolio. No compensation is received by the Portfolio or DWS for disclosing non-public holdings information. Periodic reports regarding these procedures will be provided to the Portfolio's Trustees.

There is no assurance that the Portfolio's policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of portfolio holdings information will protect the Portfolio from the potential misuse of portfolio holdings information by those in possession of that information.

**PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS AND BROKERAGE**

DIMA, as investment advisor for the Portfolio, is generally responsible for placing orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities, including the allocation of brokerage. DIMA may delegate trade execution, trade matching and settlement services to DWS's branch offices or affiliates located in the U.S. or outside the U.S.

The policy of DIMA in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities for the Portfolio is to seek best execution, taking into account execution factors such as: costs; speed; likelihood of execution and settlement; size; nature; and any other consideration relevant to the execution of a particular order. The relative importance of these execution factors will be determined based on the following criteria: characteristics of the order; the financial instruments that are the subject of the order; the characteristics of the execution venues to which the order can be directed; the current market circumstances; and the objective, investment policies and risks of the Portfolio. Generally, DIMA will regard price and cost as the important factors for best execution, however there may be circumstances when DIMA may determine that other execution factors have a greater influence for a particular order in achieving the best possible result.

DIMA will generally select brokers to effect securities transactions based on a number of criteria, including their: market and security familiarity; access to liquidity or willingness to commit risk to a principal

------

trade; financial stability and certainty of settlement; reliability and integrity of maintaining confidentiality; soundness of technological infrastructure and operational capabilities; safeguards and compliance controls to protect clients; pricing costs for execution-only services; and ability to provide transaction costs analysis.

Commission rates on transactions in equity securities on U.S. securities exchanges are subject to negotiation. Commission rates on transactions in equity securities on foreign securities exchanges are generally fixed. Purchases and sales of fixed-income securities and certain over-the-counter ("OTC") securities are effected on a net basis, without the payment of brokerage commissions. Transactions in fixed income and certain OTC securities are generally placed by DIMA with the principal market makers for these securities unless DIMA reasonably believes more favorable results are available elsewhere. Transactions with dealers serving as market makers reflect the spread between the bid and asked prices. Purchases of underwritten issues will include an underwriting fee paid to the underwriter. Money market instruments are normally purchased in principal transactions directly from the issuer or from an underwriter or market maker.

DIMA seeks to evaluate the overall reasonableness of brokerage commissions with commissions charged on comparable transactions and compares the brokerage commissions (if any) paid by the Portfolio to reported commissions paid by others. DIMA routinely reviews commission rates, execution and settlement services performed and makes internal and external comparisons.

It is likely that the broker-dealers selected based on the considerations described in this section will include firms that also sell shares of the Portfolio to their customers. However, DIMA does not consider sales of shares of the Portfolio as a factor in the selection of broker-dealers to execute portfolio transactions for the Portfolio and, accordingly, has implemented policies and procedures reasonably designed to prevent its traders from considering sales of shares of the Portfolio as a factor in the selection of broker-dealers to execute portfolio transactions for the Portfolio.

DIMA is permitted by Section 28(e) of the 1934 Act, when placing portfolio transactions for the Portfolio, to cause the Portfolio to pay brokerage commissions in excess of that which another broker-dealer might charge for executing the same transaction in order to obtain research and brokerage services if DIMA determines that such commissions are reasonable in relation to the overall services provided. DIMA may from time to time, in reliance on Section 28(e) of the 1934 Act, execute portfolio transactions with broker-dealers that provide research and brokerage services to DIMA. Consistent with DIMA's policy regarding best execution, where more than one broker is believed to be capable of providing best execution for a particular trade, DIMA may take into consideration the receipt of research and brokerage services in selecting the brokerdealer to execute the trade. Although certain research and brokerage services from broker-dealers may be useful to the Portfolio and to DIMA, it is the opinion of DIMA that such information only supplements its own research effort since the information must still be analyzed, weighed and reviewed by DIMA's staff. To the extent that research and brokerage services of value are received by DIMA, DIMA avoids expenses that it might otherwise incur. Research and brokerage services received from a broker-dealer may be useful to DIMA and its affiliates in providing investment management services to all or some of its clients, which includes the Portfolio. Services received from broker-dealers that executed securities transactions for a fund will not necessarily be used by DIMA specifically to service the Portfolio.

Research and brokerage services provided by broker dealers may include, but are not limited to, information on the economy, industries, groups of securities, individual companies, statistical information, accounting and tax law interpretations, political developments, legal developments affecting portfolio securities, technical market action, pricing and appraisal services, credit analysis, risk measurement analysis, performance analysis and measurement and analysis of corporate responsibility issues. Research and brokerage services are typically received in the form of written or electronic reports, access to specialized financial publications, telephone contacts and personal meetings with security analysts, but may also be provided in the form of access to various computer software and meetings arranged with corporate and industry representatives. In addition, DIMA may also select broker-dealers and obtain from them research and brokerage services that are used in connection with executing trades, such as computer software and/or electronic communication services used by DIMA to facilitate trading activity with a broker-dealer.

------

Research and brokerage services may include products obtained from third parties if DIMA determines that such product or service constitutes brokerage and research as defined in Section 28(e) and interpretations thereunder.

DIMA may use brokerage commissions to obtain certain brokerage products or services that have a mixed use (i.e., it also serves a function that does not relate to the investment decision-making process). In those circumstances, DIMA will make a good faith judgment to evaluate the various benefits and uses to which it intends to put the mixed use product or service and will pay for that portion of the mixed use product or service that it reasonably believes does not constitute research and brokerage services with its own resources.

DIMA will monitor regulatory developments and market practice in the use of client commissions to obtain research and brokerage services and may adjust its portfolio transactions policies in response thereto.

Investment decisions for the Portfolio and for other investment accounts managed by DIMA are made independently of each other in light of differing conditions. However, the same investment decision may be made for two or more of such accounts. In such cases, simultaneous transactions are inevitable. To the extent permitted by law, DIMA may aggregate the securities to be sold or purchased for the Portfolio with those to be sold or purchased for other accounts in executing transactions. DIMA has adopted policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to ensure that when DIMA aggregates securities purchased or sold on behalf of accounts, the securities are allocated among the participating accounts in a manner that DIMA believes to be fair and equitable. DIMA makes allocations among accounts based upon a number of factors that may include, but are not limited to, investment objectives and guidelines, risk tolerance, availability of other investment opportunities and available cash for investment. While in some cases this practice could have a detrimental effect on the price paid or received by, or on the size of the position obtained or disposed of for, the Portfolio, in other cases it is believed that the ability to engage in volume transactions will be beneficial to the Portfolio. With respect to limited opportunities or initial public offerings, DIMA may make allocations among accounts on a pro-rata basis with consideration given to suitability.

DIMA and its affiliates and the Portfolio's management team manage other mutual funds and separate accounts, some of which use short sales of securities as a part of their investment strategies. The simultaneous management of long and short portfolios creates potential conflicts of interest including the risk that short sale activity could adversely affect the market value of the long positions (and vice versa), the risk arising from sequential orders in long and short positions, and the risks associated with receiving opposing orders at the same time. DIMA has adopted procedures that it believes are reasonably designed to mitigate these potential conflicts of interest. Incorporated in the procedures are specific guidelines developed to ensure fair and equitable treatment for all clients. DIMA and the investment team have established monitoring procedures and a protocol for supervisory reviews, as well as compliance oversight to ensure that potential conflicts of interest relating to this type of activity are properly addressed.

DIMA may provide model portfolio recommendations for a variety of investment styles to clients of DIMA and affiliates. Model portfolios may relate to the same investment strategies that are also offered to or utilized by DIMA's other client accounts, including the DWS funds. DIMA may provide model portfolio recommendations on a non-discretionary or discretionary basis to sponsors of model portfolio programs ("Sponsors") who may utilize such recommendations in connection with the management of their client accounts; i.e., DIMA may provide model portfolio recommendations to Sponsors who then execute securities transactions on behalf of their program clients in accordance with the model portfolios. Model portfolio related trading activity by Sponsors on behalf of their clients could potentially result in DIMA's non-model portfolio clients, including the DWS funds, receiving prices that are less favorable than prices that might otherwise have been obtained absent the Sponsors' trading activity, particularly for orders that are large in relation to a security's average daily trading volume. DIMA intends to take reasonable steps to minimize the market impact on non-model portfolio client accounts of orders associated with model portfolio recommendations provided to Sponsors.

------

Deutsche Bank AG or one of its affiliates may act as a broker for the Portfolio and receive brokerage commissions or other transaction-related compensation from the Portfolio in the purchase and sale of securities, options or futures contracts when, in the judgment of DIMA, and in accordance with procedures approved by the Portfolio's Board of Trustees, the affiliated broker will be able to obtain a price and execution at least as favorable as those obtained from other qualified brokers and if, in the transaction, the affiliated broker charges the Portfolio a rate consistent with that charged to comparable unaffiliated customers in similar transactions.

**ORGANIZATION**

The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust and registered open-end investment company under the 1940 Act. The Trust was organized on April 17, 1997 and has authorized capital of unlimited shares of beneficial interest of no par value which may be issued in more than one class or series. Currently, the Trust consists of multiple separately managed series. The Board may designate additional series of beneficial interest and classify shares of a particular series into one or more classes of that series.

All shares of the Trust are freely transferable. The shares do not have preemptive rights or cumulative voting rights, and none of the shares have any preference to conversion, exchange, dividends, retirements, liquidation, redemption, or any other feature. The shares have equal voting rights, except that, in a matter affecting a particular series or class of shares, only shares of that series or class may be entitled to vote on the matter.

Under Delaware law, the Trust is not required to hold an annual shareholders meeting if the 1940 Act does not require such a meeting. Generally, there will not be annual meetings of Trust shareholders. Trust shareholders may remove Trustees from office by votes cast at a meeting of Trust shareholders or by written consent. If requested by shareholders of at least 10% of the outstanding shares of the Trust, the Trust will call a meeting of ProFunds' shareholders for the purpose of voting upon the question of removal of a Trustee of the Trust and will assist in communications with other Trust shareholders.

The Declaration of Trust of the Trust disclaims liability of the shareholders or the officers of the Trust for acts or obligations of the Trust which are binding only on the assets and property of the Trust. The Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification of the Trust's property for all loss and expense of any shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of the Trust. The risk of a Trust shareholder incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances where a series would not be able to meet the Trust's obligations and this risk, thus, should be considered remote.

If the Fund does not grow to a size to permit it to be economically viable, the Fund may cease operations. In such an event, investors may be required to liquidate or transfer their investments at an inopportune time.

**DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE**

The Fund normally calculates its daily share price for each class of shares as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on each day the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open for business except for any day during which the relevant bond markets are closed and the NYSE is open (currently expected to be Columbus Day and Veterans Day), but sometimes earlier when the NYSE closes early, as in the case of scheduled half-day trading, shortened trading hours due to emergency circumstances or unscheduled suspensions of trading.

To the extent that portfolio securities of the Fund are traded in other markets on days when the Fund's principal trading market(s) are closed, the value of the Fund's shares may be affected on days when investors do not have access to the Fund to purchase or redeem shares.

The NAV per share of each class of shares of the Fund serves as the basis for the purchase and redemption price of the shares. The NAV per share of each class of the Fund is calculated by taking the value of the assets attributed to the class subtracting any liabilities attributed to the specific class, and then dividing by the total number of outstanding shares of the class. The Fund records its investment transactions no later

------

than the next business day of when the transaction order is placed. When the Fund experiences net shareholder inflows, it generally records investment transactions on the business day after the transaction order is placed. When the Fund experiences net shareholder outflows, it generally records investment transactions on the business day the transaction order is placed. This is intended to deal equitably with related transaction costs by having them borne in part by the investor generating those costs for the Fund. The Fund's NAV per share will normally be $1.00. There is no assurance that the $1.00 NAV will be maintained.

The Portfolio calculates its net value (*i.e.*, the value of the Portfolio's portfolio instruments and any other assets less all liabilities) every business day at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (the "Valuation Time"), but sometimes earlier when the NYSE closes early, as in the case of scheduled half-day trading, shortened trading hours due to emergency circumstances or unscheduled suspensions of trading. The Portfolio values its portfolio instruments at amortized cost, which does not take into account unrealized capital gains or losses. This initially involves valuing an instrument at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, regardless of the impact of fluctuating interest rates on the market value of the instrument. While this method provides certainty in valuation, it may result in periods during which value, as determined by amortized cost, is higher or lower than the price the Portfolio would receive if it sold the instrument.

The Portfolio may, but is not required to, accept certain types of purchase, exchange and redemption orders on days that the NYSE is closed, or beyond a NYSE early closing time (referred to as a "Limited Trading Period") if: (a) the Federal Reserve system is open, (b) the primary trading markets for the Portfolio's portfolio instruments are open and (c) the Advisor believes there will be adequate liquidity in the short-term markets. The calculation of share price will be as set forth in the prospectus for normal trading days. Orders must be submitted by the cut-off times for receipt of wire purchases entitled to that day's dividend and for receipt of telephone redemption orders for same day wire transfer, which will be the earlier of: (a) the times set forth in the prospectus for normal trading days or (b) such earlier times that the Portfolio determines based on the criteria described above.

Each investor in the Portfolio, including Government Money Market ProFund, may add to or reduce its investment in the Portfolio on each day the Portfolio is open for business. At the Valuation Time, on each such business day, the value of each investor's beneficial interest in the Portfolio will be determined by multiplying the net value of the Portfolio, by the percentage, effective at the Valuation Time, which represents that investor's share of the aggregate beneficial interests in the Portfolio. Any additions or withdrawals, which are to be effected at the Valuation Time, will then be effected. The percentage of the aggregate beneficial interests in the Portfolio held by each investor in the Portfolio, including Government Money Market ProFund, will then be recomputed as the percentage equal to the fraction (i) the numerator of which is the value of the investor's investment in the Portfolio as of the Valuation Time, plus or minus, as the case may be, the amount of net additions to or withdrawals from such investor's investment in the Portfolio effected at the Valuation Time, and (ii) the denominator of which is the aggregate net value of the Portfolio, as of the Valuation Time, plus or minus, as the case may be, the amount of net additions to or withdrawals from the aggregate investments in the Portfolio by all investors, including Government Money Market ProFund, in the Portfolio. The percentage so determined for Government Money Market ProFund will then be applied to determine the value of Government Money Market ProFund's interest in the Portfolio as of the next Valuation Time.

The Board of Trustees of the Fund has established procedures reasonably designed to stabilize the Fund's NAV per share at $1.00. Under the procedures, the Advisor will monitor and notify the Board of circumstances where the Fund's NAV per share calculated based on valuing the Fund's investment in the Portfolio and the Fund's other assets using market valuations may deviate from the $1.00 per share calculated based on valuing the Fund's investment in the Portfolio and the Fund's other assets using amortized cost. If there were any deviation of the Fund's NAV that the Board believed would result in a material dilution or unfair result for investors or existing shareholders, the Board of Trustees of the Fund would promptly consider what action, if any, should be initiated. Such actions could include selling assets prior to maturity to realize capital gains or losses; shortening average maturity of the portfolio; adjusting the level of dividends;

------

redeeming shares in kind; or valuing assets based on market valuations. For example, if the Fund's net asset value per share (computed using market values) declined, or was expected to decline, below $1.00 (computed using amortized cost), the Fund might temporarily reduce or suspend dividend payments in an effort to maintain the NAV at $1.00 per share. As a result of such reduction or suspension of dividends or other action by the Board, an investor would receive less income during a given period than if such a reduction or suspension had not taken place. Such action could result in investors receiving no dividend for the period during which they hold their shares and receiving, upon redemption, a price per share lower than that which they paid. On the other hand, if the Fund's NAV per share (computed using market values) were to increase, or were anticipated to increase above $1.00 (computed using amortized cost), the Fund might supplement dividends in an effort to maintain the NAV at $1.00 per share. Because the Fund invests substantially all its assets in the Portfolio, certain of these actions could be implemented at the Portfolio level at the discretion of the Portfolio's Board of Trustees.

Market valuations are obtained by using actual quotations provided by market makers, estimates of market value, or values obtained from yield data relating to classes of money market instruments published by reputable sources at the mean between the bid and asked prices for the instruments. In the event market quotations are not readily available for certain portfolio assets the fair value of such portfolio assets will be determined in good faith by DIMA's Pricing Committee based upon input from DIMA or other third parties.

**TAXATION** 

**OVERVIEW** 

Set forth below is a discussion of certain U.S. federal income tax issues concerning the Fund and the purchase, ownership, and disposition of Fund shares. This discussion does not purport to be complete or to deal with all aspects of federal income taxation that may be relevant to shareholders in light of their particular circumstances, nor to certain types of shareholders subject to special treatment under the federal income tax laws (for example, life insurance companies, banks and other financial institutions, and individual retirement accounts ("IRAs") and other retirement plans). This discussion is based upon present provisions of the Code, the regulations promulgated thereunder, and judicial and administrative ruling authorities, all of which are subject to change, which change may be retroactive. Investors should consult their own tax advisors with regard to the federal tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, or disposition of Fund shares, as well as the tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, foreign country or other taxing jurisdiction.

As described earlier, the Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing substantially all of its assets in the Portfolio, which is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the character and amount of the Fund's income, gains, losses, deductions and other tax items generally are determined at the Portfolio level and the Fund is allocated, and is required to take into account for U.S. federal income tax purposes, its share of the Portfolio's income, gains, losses, deductions, and other tax items for each taxable year substantially as though such items had been realized directly by the Fund and without regard to whether the Portfolio distributes any cash to the Fund. See "Investment in the Portfolio" below for more information.

**QUALIFICATION AS A RIC** 

The Fund has elected and intends to qualify and to be treated each year as a regulated investment company (a "RIC") under Subchapter M of the Code. A RIC generally is not subject to federal income tax on income and gains distributed in a timely manner to its shareholders. To qualify for treatment as a RIC, the Fund generally must, among other things:

(a) derive in each taxable year at least 90% of its gross income from (i) dividends, interest, payments with respect to certain securities loans, and gains from the sale or other disposition of stock, securities or foreign currencies, or other income (including, but not limited to, gain from options, futures or forward contracts) derived with respect to its business of investing in such stock, securities or currencies and (ii) net income derived from interests in "qualified publicly traded partnerships" as defined below (the income described in this subparagraph (a), "Qualifying Income");

(b) diversify its holdings so that, at the end of each quarter of the Fund's taxable year, (i) at least 50% of the market value of the Fund's assets is represented by cash and cash items (including receivables), U.S. government securities, the securities of other RICs and other securities, with such other securities limited, in respect of any one issuer, to an amount not greater than 5% of the value of the Fund's total assets and not greater than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer, and (ii) not greater than 25% of the value of its total assets is invested, including through corporations in which the Fund owns a 20% or more voting stock interest, in (x) the securities (other than U.S. government securities and the securities of other RICs) of any one issuer or of two or more issuers that the Fund controls and that are engaged in the same, similar or related trades or businesses, or (y) the securities of one or more "qualified publicly traded partnerships" (as defined below); and

(c) distribute with respect to each taxable year at least 90% of the sum of its investment company taxable income (as that term is defined in the Code without regard to the deduction for dividends paid — generally, taxable ordinary income and the excess, if any, of net short-term capital gains over net long-term capital losses) and net tax-exempt interest income for such year. The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of such income.

In general, for purposes of the 90% gross income requirement described in subparagraph (a) above, income derived from a partnership, such as the Portfolio, will be treated as Qualifying Income only to the

------

extent such income is attributable to items of income of the partnership which would be Qualifying Income if realized directly by the RIC. However, 100% of the net income of a RIC derived from an interest in a qualified publicly traded partnership (a partnership (x) the interests in which are traded on an established securities market or readily tradable on a secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof, and (y) that derives less than 90% of its income from the Qualifying Income described in clause (i) of subparagraph (a) above) will be treated as Qualifying Income. In general, such entities will be treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes because they meet the passive income requirement under Code Section 7704(c)(2). The Portfolio is not a qualified publicly traded partnership.

Pursuant to current IRS guidance, the Fund will be treated as holding directly its share of the underlying assets of the Portfolio for purposes of the diversification test in subparagraph (b) above. In applying the diversification test, identification of the issuer (or, in some cases, issuers) of a particular investment will depend on the terms and conditions of the investment. In some cases, identification of the issuer (or issuers) is uncertain under current law, and an adverse determination or future guidance by the IRS with respect to the identity of the issuer for a particular type of investment may adversely affect the Fund's ability to satisfy the diversification test. Also, for purposes of the diversification test, the term "outstanding voting securities of such issuer" will include the equity securities of a qualified publicly traded partnership.

If, in any taxable year, the Fund were to fail to satisfy the income, diversification or distribution test described above, the Fund could in some cases cure such failure, including by paying a fund-level tax, paying interest, making additional distributions or disposing of certain assets. If the Fund were ineligible to or did not cure such a failure for any taxable year, or otherwise failed to qualify as a RIC that is accorded special tax treatment, the Fund would be subject to tax on its taxable income at the federal corporate tax rate and distributions from the Fund to its shareholders would not be deductible by the Fund in computing its taxable income. In addition, the Fund's distributions from earnings and profits, including distributions of net long-term capital gain (if any), would be taxable to shareholders as dividend income (and potentially would be eligible for the corporate dividends received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders and reduced rates of taxation on qualified dividend income in the case of individual shareholders, provided, in each case, that the shareholder meets certain holding period and other requirements in respect of the Fund's shares) even though those distributions might otherwise (at least in part) have been treated in the shareholder's hands as long-term capital gain. In order to re-qualify for taxation as a RIC, the Fund may be required to recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest, and make certain distributions.

See the Fund's most recent annual shareholder report for the Fund's available capital loss carryovers as of the end of its most recently ended fiscal year.

The Fund intends to distribute at least annually to its shareholders all or substantially all of its investment company taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends-paid deduction), its net tax-exempt income and its net capital gain (that is, the excess of its net long-term capital gains over its net short-term capital losses), if any. Investment company taxable income that is retained by the Fund will be subject to tax at regular corporate rates. If the Fund retains any net capital gain, it will be subject to tax at the federal corporate rate on the amount retained, but the Fund may designate the retained amount as undistributed capital gains in a notice mailed within 60 days of the close of the Fund's taxable year to its shareholders who (i) will be required to include in income for federal income tax purposes, as long-term capital gain, their shares of such undistributed amount, and (ii) will be entitled to credit their proportionate shares of the tax paid by the Fund on such undistributed amount against their federal income tax liabilities, if any, and to claim refunds on a properly-filed U.S. tax return to the extent the credit exceeds such liabilities. For federal income tax purposes, the tax basis of shares owned by a shareholder of the Fund will be increased by an amount equal to the difference between the amount of undistributed capital gains included in the shareholder's gross income under clause (i) of the preceding sentence, if any, and the tax deemed paid by the shareholder under clause (ii) of the preceding sentence. The Fund is not required to, and there can be no assurance the Fund will, make this designation if it retains all or a portion of its net capital gain in a taxable year.

------

In determining its taxable income, net capital gain (including in connection with determining the amount available to support a Capital Gain Dividend (as defined below)) and earnings and profits, a RIC may elect to treat any post-October capital loss (defined as any net capital loss attributable to the portion of the taxable year after October 31, or, if there is no such loss, the net long-term capital loss or net short-term capital loss attributable to such portion of the taxable year) or late-year ordinary loss (generally, the sum of its (i) net ordinary losses from the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of property attributable to the portion of the taxable year after October 31, and its (ii) other net ordinary loss attributable to the portion of the taxable year after December 31) as if incurred in the succeeding taxable year.

Amounts not distributed on a timely basis in accordance with a prescribed formula are subject to a nondeductible 4% excise tax at the Fund level. To avoid the tax, the Fund must distribute during each calendar year an amount equal to the sum of (1) at least 98% of its ordinary income (not taking into account any capital gains or losses) for the calendar year, (2) at least 98.2% of its capital gain net income for a one-year period generally ending on October 31 of the calendar year, and (3) all such ordinary income and capital gains that were not distributed in previous years. For purposes of the required excise tax distribution, ordinary gains and losses from the sale, exchange, or other taxable disposition of property that would be properly taken into account after October 31 are treated as arising on January 1 of the following calendar year. In addition, the Fund will be treated as having distributed any amount on which it has been subject to corporate income tax for the taxable year ending within the calendar year. The Fund intends generally to make distributions sufficient to avoid imposition of the 4% excise tax, although there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to do so. A dividend will be treated as paid on December 31 of a calendar year if it is declared by the Fund in October, November or December of that year with a record date in such a month, and is paid by the Fund during January of the following year. Such dividends will be taxable to shareholders in the calendar year in which the dividends are declared, rather than the calendar year in which the dividends are received.

**DISTRIBUTIONS** 

Distributions of investment income are generally taxable to a U.S. shareholder as ordinary income, whether paid in cash or shares. Distributions of net capital gain — that is, the excess of net long-term capital gains from the sale of investments owned (or treated as owned) by the Fund for more than one year over net short-term capital losses, in each case determined with reference to any loss carryforwards — that are properly reported by the Fund as capital gain dividends ("Capital Gain Dividends"), whether paid in cash or in shares, are treated as long-term capital gains includible in a shareholder's net capital gain and taxed to individuals at reduced rates, regardless of how long the shareholder has held the Fund's shares. Distributions of capital gains are generally made after applying any available capital loss carryforwards. Distributions attributable to the excess of net gains from the sale of investments owned by the Fund for one year or less over net long-term capital losses will be taxable as ordinary income. The IRS and the Department of the Treasury have issued regulations that impose special rules in respect of Capital Gain Dividends received through partnership interests constituting "applicable partnership interests" under Section 1061 of the Code. The Fund does not expect any significant portion of its distributions to be Capital Gain Dividends taxable as long-term capital gains.

If the Fund makes a distribution to a shareholder in excess of the Fund's current and accumulated earnings and profits in any taxable year, the excess distribution will be treated as a return of capital to the extent of such shareholder's tax basis in its shares, and thereafter as capital gain. A return of capital is not taxable, but it reduces a shareholder's tax basis in its shares, thus reducing any loss or increasing any gain on a subsequent taxable disposition by the shareholder of its shares.

Shareholders will be notified annually as to the U.S. federal tax status of Fund distributions, and shareholders receiving distributions in the form of newly issued shares will receive a report as to the value of the shares received. Distributions by the Fund to tax-deferred or qualified plans, such as an IRA, retirement plan or corporate pension or profit sharing plan, generally will not be taxable. However, distributions from such plans will generally be taxable to individual participants without regard to the character of the income earned by the qualified plan. Please consult a tax advisor for a more complete explanation of the federal,

------

state, local and (if applicable) foreign tax consequences of making investments through such plans. The Code generally imposes a 3.8% tax on the net investment income of certain individuals, trusts, and estates to the extent their income exceeds certain threshold amounts. Net investment income generally includes for this purpose dividends paid by the Fund, including any Capital Gain Dividends, and net gains, if any, recognized on the sale, redemption or exchange of shares of the Fund. Shareholders are advised to consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of this additional tax on their investment in the Fund.

**QUALIFIED DIVIDEND INCOME** 

"Qualified dividend income" properly reported by the Fund and received by an individual will be taxed at the rates applicable to long-term capital gain. In order for some portion of the dividends received by the Fund shareholder to be qualified dividend income, the Portfolio must meet holding period and other requirements with respect to qualifying dividend-paying stocks in its portfolio (if any) and the Fund shareholder must meet holding period and other requirements with respect to the Fund's shares. The Fund does not expect that a significant portion of its distributions will be derived from qualified dividend income.

**DISPOSITION OF SHARES** 

Upon a redemption, sale or exchange of shares of the Fund, a shareholder generally will realize a taxable gain or loss depending upon his or her basis in the shares. A gain or loss will be treated as capital gain or loss if the shares are capital assets in the shareholder's hands, and generally will be long-term or short-term depending upon the shareholder's holding period for the shares. Any loss realized by a shareholder on the disposition of the Fund's shares held by the shareholder for six months or less will be treated for tax purposes as a long-term capital loss to the extent of any distributions of Capital Gain Dividends received or treated as having been received by the shareholder with respect to such shares. The IRS has issued regulations that permit a simplified method of accounting for gains and losses realized upon the disposition of shares of a money market fund. Very generally, rather than realizing gain or loss upon each redemption of a share, a shareholder using such method of accounting will recognize gain or loss with respect to the Fund's shares for a given computation period (the shareholder's taxable year or shorter period selected by the shareholder) equal to the value of all the Fund shares held by the shareholder on the last day of the computation period, less the value of all Fund shares held by the shareholder on the last day of the preceding computation period, less the shareholder's net investment in the Fund (generally, purchases minus redemptions) made during the computation period. It is not expected that any gain or loss will be realized in respect of the Fund shares because of the Fund's policy to maintain its net asset value at a constant $1.00 per share.

**INVESTMENT IN THE PORTFOLIO** 

Special tax considerations apply to the Fund's investment in the Portfolio. As noted above, the Portfolio is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Fund generally will be allocated its distributive share (as determined in accordance with the governing instruments of the Portfolio, as well as with the Code, the Treasury regulations thereunder, and other applicable authority) of the income, gains, losses, deductions, credits, and other tax items of the Portfolio so as to reflect the Fund's interest in the Portfolio. The Portfolio may modify its allocations to its partners to comply with applicable tax regulations, including, without limitation, the income tax regulations under Sections 704, 734, 743, 754, and 755 of the Code. It also may make special allocations of specific tax items, including items of gross income, gain, deduction, or loss. These modified or special allocations could result in the Fund, as a partner, receiving a larger or smaller share of items of income, gain, deduction, or loss (and/or income, gain, deduction, or loss of a different character) than it would in the absence of such modified or special allocations.

The Fund will be required to include in its income its share of the Portfolio's tax items, including income, gain, deduction, or loss, for any taxable year regardless of whether or not the Portfolio distributes any cash to the Fund in such year. As described in its current registration statement, the Portfolio is not required, and generally does not expect, to make distributions (other than distributions in redemption of Portfolio interests) to its investors each year. Accordingly, the Fund will likely be required to redeem a portion of its

------

interest in the Portfolio in order to obtain sufficient cash to satisfy its annual RIC distribution requirements (described above) and to otherwise avoid fund-level federal income and excise taxes.

The Fund's receipt of cash distributions from the Portfolio generally will represent a nontaxable return of capital to the Fund up to the amount of the Fund's adjusted tax basis in its interest in the Portfolio. A cash distribution in partial or complete redemption of the Fund's interest in the Portfolio is generally taxable to the Fund as a sale or exchange only to the extent the amount of cash received by the Fund exceeds the Fund's adjusted tax basis in its interest in the Portfolio. Any loss may be recognized by the Fund only if it redeems its entire interest in the Portfolio for cash. Any gain recognized generally will be treated by the Fund as ordinary income, rather than capital gain, to the extent the Fund's share of the Portfolio's "unrealized receivables" (including any accrued but untaxed market discount) and "substantially appreciated inventory," if any, exceeds the Fund's share of the basis in those unrealized receivables and substantially appreciated inventory. The Fund generally will not recognize gain or loss on an in-kind distribution of property from the Portfolio, including on an in-kind redemption of its Portfolio interest. However, certain exceptions to this general rule may apply.

**LONGER-TERM DEBT SECURITIES** 

*Original issue discount.* Certain debt securities with a fixed maturity date of more than one year from the date of issuance that are acquired by the Portfolio may be treated as debt securities that were originally issued with original issue discount. Original issue discount can generally be defined as the difference between the price at which a security was issued and its stated redemption price at maturity. Original issue discount that accrues on a debt security in a given year generally is treated for federal income tax purposes as interest income, and accordingly such income, when allocated to the Fund, is subject to the distribution requirements applicable to RICs, even though payment of that accrued income may not be received by the Portfolio until a later time, upon a partial or full repayment or disposition of the debt security. Some debt securities with original issue discount may be purchased by the Portfolio in the secondary market at a discount to their "revised issue price." This discount represents "market discount" for federal income tax purposes (see below).

*Market discount.* If the Portfolio purchases in the secondary market a debt security that has a fixed maturity date of more than one year from its date of issuance at a price lower than the stated redemption price of such debt security (or, in the case of a debt security issued with original issue discount, a price below the debt security's "revised issue price"), the debt security will be considered to have "market discount."

If the amount of market discount is more than a de minimis amount, a portion of such market discount must be included as ordinary income (not capital gain) by the Portfolio, and allocated as such to the Portfolio's partners, in each taxable year in which the Portfolio owns an interest in such debt security and receives a principal payment on it. In particular, the principal payment must be allocated first to the portion of the market discount on the debt security that has accrued but has not previously been includable in income. In general, the amount of market discount that must be included for each period is equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of market discount accruing during such period (plus any accrued market discount for prior periods not previously taken into account) or (ii) the amount of the principal payment with respect to such period.

Generally, gain realized on a disposition of a market discount obligation must be recognized as ordinary interest income (not capital gain) to the extent of the accrued market discount, or alternatively, the Portfolio may elect to include accrued market discount in income currently (as ordinary income) over the term of the debt security, and allocate to the Fund its share of that accrued income, even though payment of the accrued amount is not received by the Portfolio until a later time, upon a partial or full repayment or disposition of the debt security. The Fund could be required to distribute this accrued income to its shareholders in order to meet its annual RIC distribution requirements and otherwise avoid fund-level income and excise taxes.

Generally, market discount accrues ratably on a daily basis for each day the debt security is held by the Portfolio based on the number of days between the date of the Portfolio's acquisition of the debt security

------

and the debt security's maturity date or, at the election of the Portfolio, at a constant yield to maturity which takes into account the semi-annual compounding of interest.

**SHORTER-TERM DEBT SECURITIES** 

Some debt securities with a fixed maturity date of one year or less from the date of issuance that are acquired by the Portfolio may be treated as having original issue discount or, in some cases, "acquisition discount" (very generally, the excess of the stated redemption price over the purchase price). The Portfolio will be required to include the original issue discount or acquisition discount in income (as ordinary income), and allocate to the Fund its share of that income, over the term of the debt security, even though payment of that amount is not received by the Portfolio until a later time, upon a partial or full repayment or disposition of the debt security. The Fund could be required to distribute this accrued income to its shareholders in order to satisfy its annual RIC distribution requirements and otherwise avoid Fund-level income and excise taxes. The rate at which original issue discount or acquisition discount accrues, and thus is allocated to the Fund, may depend upon which of the permitted accrual methods the Portfolio elects.

**CONSTRUCTIVE SALES** 

Under certain circumstances, the Portfolio may recognize gain from a constructive sale of an "appreciated financial position" it holds if it enters into a short sale, forward contract or other transaction that substantially reduces the risk of loss with respect to the appreciated position. In that event, the Portfolio would be treated as if it had sold and immediately repurchased the property and the Fund would be required to include its allocable share of any gain (but would not recognize any loss) from the constructive sale. The character of gain from a constructive sale would depend upon the Portfolio's holding period in the property. Appropriate adjustments would be made in the amount of any gain or loss subsequently realized on the position to reflect the gain recognized on the constructive sale. Loss from a constructive sale would be recognized when the property was subsequently disposed of, and its character would depend on the Portfolio's holding period and the application of various loss deferral provisions of the Code. Constructive sale treatment does not generally apply to a transaction if such transaction is closed on or before the end of the 30th day after the close of the Portfolio's taxable year and the Portfolio holds the appreciated financial position throughout the 60-day period beginning with the day such transaction closed. The term "appreciated financial position" excludes any position that is "marked to market."

**UNRELATED BUSINESS TAXABLE INCOME** 

Under current law, income of the Fund that would be treated as unrelated business taxable income ("UBTI") if earned directly by a tax-exempt entity generally will not be attributed as UBTI to a tax exempt entity that is a shareholder in the Fund. Notwithstanding this "blocking" effect, a tax-exempt shareholder could realize UBTI by virtue of its investment in the Fund if shares in the Fund constitute debt-financed property in the hands of the tax-exempt shareholder within the meaning of Code Section 514(b).

**FOREIGN INVESTMENTS AND TAXES** 

Income, proceeds and gains received by the Portfolio from foreign investments, if any, may be subject to foreign withholding and other taxes, which could decrease the return on those investments. The effective rate of foreign taxes to which the Portfolio will be subject depends on the specific countries in which its assets will be invested and the extent of the assets invested in each such country and, therefore, cannot be determined in advance. Shareholders generally will not be entitled to claim a credit or deduction with respect to foreign taxes incurred by the Portfolio.

**BACKUP WITHHOLDING** 

The Fund may be required to withhold federal income tax ("backup withholding") from dividends paid, capital gains distributions, and redemption proceeds to shareholders. Federal tax will be withheld if (1) the shareholder fails to furnish the Fund with the shareholder's correct taxpayer identification number or social security number, (2) the IRS notifies the shareholder or the Fund that the shareholder has failed to report properly certain interest and dividend income to the IRS and to respond to notices to that effect, or (3)

------

when required to do so, the shareholder fails to certify that he or she is not subject to backup withholding. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be credited against the shareholder's federal income tax liability.

In order for a foreign investor to qualify for an exemption from backup withholding and for reduced withholding tax rates under income tax treaties, the foreign investor must comply with special certification and filing requirements. Foreign investors in the Fund should consult their tax advisors in this regard.

**NON-U.S. SHAREHOLDERS** 

Distributions by the Fund to shareholders that are not "U.S. persons" within the meaning of the Code ("foreign shareholders") properly reported by the Fund as (1) Capital Gain Dividends, (2) short-term capital gain dividends, and (3) interest-related dividends, each as defined and subject to certain conditions described below, generally are not subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax.

In general, the Code defines (1) "short-term capital gain dividends" as distributions of net short-term capital gains in excess of net long-term capital losses and (2) "interest-related dividends" as distributions from U.S. source interest income of types similar to those not subject to U.S. federal income tax if earned directly by an individual foreign shareholder, in each case to the extent such distributions are properly reported as such by the Fund in a written notice to shareholders.

The exceptions to withholding for Capital Gain Dividends and short-term capital gain dividends do not apply to (A) distributions to an individual foreign shareholder who is present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the year of the distribution and (B) distributions attributable to gain that is treated as effectively connected with the conduct by the foreign shareholder of a trade or business within the United States under special rules regarding the disposition of U.S. real property interests. The exception to withholding for interest-related dividends does not apply to distributions to a foreign shareholder (A) that has not provided a satisfactory statement that the beneficial owner is not a U.S. person, (B) to the extent that the dividend is attributable to certain interest on an obligation if the foreign shareholder is the issuer or is a 10% shareholder of the issuer, (C) that is within certain foreign countries that have inadequate information exchange with the United States, or (D) to the extent the dividend is attributable to interest paid by a person that is a related person of the foreign shareholder and the foreign shareholder is a controlled foreign corporation. The Fund is permitted to report such part of its dividends as interest-related and/or short-term capital gain dividends as are eligible, but is not required to do so. In the case of shares held through an intermediary, the intermediary may withhold even if the Fund reports all or a portion of a payment as an interest-related or short-term capital gain dividend to shareholders.

In order to qualify for the withholding exemptions for interest-related and short term capital gain dividends, a foreign shareholder is required to comply with applicable certification requirements relating to its non-U.S. status (including, in general, furnishing the applicable W-8 form or substitute form). In the case of shares held through an intermediary, the intermediary may withhold even if the Fund reports all or a portion of a payment as an interest-related or short-term capital gain dividend to shareholders.

Distributions by the Fund to foreign shareholders other than Capital Gain Dividends, short-term capital gain dividends, and interest-related dividends (e.g., dividends attributable to foreign-source dividend and interest income or to short-term capital gains or U.S. source interest income to which the exception from withholding described above does not apply) are generally subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or lower applicable treaty rate).

A foreign shareholder is not, in general, subject to U.S. federal income tax on gains (and is not allowed a deduction for losses) realized on the sale of shares of the Fund unless (i) such gain is effectively connected with the conduct by the foreign shareholder of a trade or business within the United States, or (ii) in the case of a foreign shareholder that is an individual, the shareholder is present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the year of the sale and certain other conditions are met.

------

Foreign shareholders with respect to whom income from the Fund is effectively connected with a trade or business conducted by the foreign shareholder within the United States will in general be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the income derived from the Fund at the graduated rates applicable to U.S. citizens, residents or domestic corporations, whether such income is received in cash or reinvested in shares of the Fund and, in the case of a foreign corporation, may also be subject to a branch profits tax. If a foreign shareholder is eligible for the benefits of a tax treaty, any effectively connected income or gain will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net basis only if it is also attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the shareholder in the United States. More generally, foreign shareholders who are residents in a country with an income tax treaty with the United States may obtain different tax results than those described herein, and are urged to consult their tax advisors.

Foreign shareholders of the Fund also may be subject to "wash sale" rules to prevent the avoidance of the tax-filing and -payment obligations discussed above through the sale and repurchase of Fund shares.

Foreign shareholders should consult their tax advisors and, if holding Fund shares through intermediaries, their intermediaries, concerning the application of these rules to an investment in the Fund.

**CERTAIN ADDITIONAL REPORTING AND WITHHOLDING REQUIREMENTS** 

Sections 1471-1474 of the Code and the U.S. Treasury Regulations and IRS guidance issued thereunder (collectively, "FATCA") generally require the Fund to obtain information sufficient to identify the status of each of its shareholders under FATCA or under an applicable intergovernmental agreement (an "IGA"). If a shareholder fails to provide this information or otherwise fails to comply with FATCA or an IGA, the Fund or its agent may be required to withhold under FATCA at a rate of 30% of the ordinary dividends it pays. The IRS and the Department of the Treasury have issued proposed regulations providing that the gross proceeds of share redemptions or Capital Gain Dividends the Fund pays will not be subject to FATCA withholding. If a payment by the Fund is subject to FATCA withholding, the Fund or its agent is required to withhold even if such payment would otherwise be exempt from withholding under the rules applicable to foreign persons described above (e.g., short-term capital gain dividends, and interest-related dividends).

Each prospective investor is urged to consult its tax advisor regarding the applicability of FATCA and any other reporting requirements with respect to the prospective investor's own situation, including investments through an intermediary.

**TAX SHELTER DISCLOSURE** 

Under U.S. Treasury regulations, if a shareholder recognizes a loss of at least $2 million in any single taxable year or $4 million in any combination of taxable years for an individual shareholder or at least $10 million in any taxable year or $20 million in any combination of taxable years for a corporate shareholder, the shareholder must file with the IRS a disclosure statement on IRS Form 8886. Direct shareholders of portfolio securities are in many cases excepted from this reporting requirement, but under current guidance, shareholders of a RIC are not excepted. This filing requirement applies even though, as a practical matter, any such loss would not, for example, reduce the taxable income of an insurance company. Future guidance may extend the current exception from this reporting requirement to shareholders of most or all RICs. The fact that a loss is reportable under these regulations does not affect the legal determination of whether the taxpayer's treatment of the loss is proper. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors to determine the applicability of these regulations in light of their individual circumstances.

**OTHER REPORTING** 

Shareholders that are U.S. persons and own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the Portfolio could be required to report annually their "financial interest" in the Fund's "foreign financial accounts," if any, on FinCEN 114, Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR). Shareholders should consult a tax advisor regarding the applicability to them of this reporting requirement.

**OTHER INFORMATION**

**YIELD CALCULATIONS** 

From time to time, the Fund may advertise its "yield" and "effective yield." Both yield figures are based on historical earnings and are not intended to indicate future performance. The "yield" of the Fund refers to the income generated by an investment in the Fund over a seven-day period (which period will be stated in the advertisement). This income is then "annualized." That is, the amount of income generated by the investment during that week is assumed to be generated each week over a 52-week period and is shown as a percentage of the investment. The "effective yield" is calculated similarly, but, when annualized, the income earned by an investment in the Fund is assumed to be reinvested. The "effective yield" will be slightly higher than the "yield" because of the compounding effect of this assumed reinvestment.

Since yield fluctuates, yield data cannot necessarily be used to compare an investment in the Fund's shares with bank deposits, savings accounts and similar investment alternatives which often provide an agreed or guaranteed fixed yield for a stated period of time. Shareholders of the Fund should remember that yield generally is a function of the kind and quality of the instrument held in the portfolio, portfolio maturity, operating expenses and market conditions.

**COMPARISONS OF INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE** 

Performance of the Fund may be compared in publications to the performance of various unmanaged indexes and investments for which reliable performance data is available and to averages, performance rankings, or other information prepared by recognized mutual fund statistical services. In conjunction with performance reports, promotional literature, and/or analyses of shareholder service for the Fund, comparisons of the performance information of the Fund for a given period to the performance of recognized, unmanaged indexes for the same period may be made, including, but are not limited to, indexes provided by Dow Jones & Company, Standard & Poor's Corporation, Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. ("Lipper"), Lehman Brothers, The Frank Russell Company, Value Line Investment Survey, NYSE MKT U.S., the Philadelphia Stock Exchange, Morgan Stanley Capital International, Wilshire Associates, the Financial Times-Stock Exchange, ICE Futures U.S., Inc., the Nikkei Inc., the Paris CAC 40, Deutsche Aktien Index, Bank of New York Mellon and The Nasdaq Stock Market, all of which are unmanaged market indicators. Such comparisons can be a useful measure of the quality of the Fund's investment performance. In particular, performance information for the Fund may be compared to various unmanaged indexes, including, but not limited to, the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index, the Dow Jones Industrial Average<sup>SM</sup>, the Dow Jones U.S.<sup>SM</sup> Index, the Russell 2000<sup>®</sup> Index and the Nasdaq-100 Index<sup>®</sup>, among others.

In addition, rankings, ratings, and comparisons of investment performance and/or assessments of the quality of shareholder service appearing in publications such as Money, Forbes, Kiplinger's Magazine, Personal Investor, Morningstar, Inc., and similar sources that utilize information compiled (i) internally, (ii) by Lipper, or (iii) by other recognized analytical services, may be used in sales literature. The total return of the Fund also may be compared to the performances of broad groups of comparable mutual funds with similar investment goals, as such performance is tracked and published by such independent organizations as Lipper and CDA Investment Technologies, Inc., among others. In addition, the broad-based Lipper groupings may be used for comparison to the Fund.

Information about the performance of the Fund will be contained in the Fund's annual and semiannual reports to shareholders, which may be obtained without charge by writing to the Fund at the address or telephoning the Fund at the telephone number set forth on the cover page of this SAI.

**APPENDIX A**

**DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES RATINGS** 

***S&P GLOBAL RATINGS ("S&P")*** 

*Long-Term Issue Credit Ratings\** 

AAA – An obligation rated 'AAA' has the highest rating assigned by S&P Global Ratings. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is extremely strong.

AA – An obligation rated 'AA' differs from the highest-rated obligations only to a small degree. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is very strong.

A – An obligation rated 'A' is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher-rated categories. However, the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is still strong.

BBB – An obligation rated 'BBB' exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to weaken the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.

BB; B; CCC; CC; and C – Obligations rated 'BB', 'B', 'CCC', 'CC', and 'C' are regarded as having significant speculative characteristics. 'BB' indicates the least degree of speculation and 'C' the highest. While such obligations will likely have some quality and protective characteristics, these may be outweighed by large uncertainties or major exposure to adverse conditions.

BB – An obligation rated 'BB' is less vulnerable to nonpayment than other speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions that could lead to the obligor's inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.

B – An obligation rated 'B' is more vulnerable to nonpayment than obligations rated 'BB', but the obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation. Adverse business, financial, or economic conditions will likely impair the obligor's capacity or willingness to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.

CCC – An obligation rated 'CCC' is currently vulnerable to nonpayment and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitments on the obligation. In the event of adverse business, financial, or economic conditions, the obligor is not likely to have the capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.

CC – An obligation rated 'CC' is currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment. The 'CC' rating is used when a default has not yet occurred but S&P Global Ratings expects default to be a virtual certainty, regardless of the anticipated time to default.

C – An obligation rated 'C' is currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment, and the obligation is expected to have lower relative seniority or lower ultimate recovery compared with obligations that are rated higher.

D – An obligation rated 'D' is in default or in breach of an imputed promise. For non-hybrid capital instruments, the 'D' rating category is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due, unless S&P Global Ratings believes that such payments will be made within the next five business days in the absence of a stated grace period or within the earlier of the stated grace period or the next 30 calendar days. The 'D' rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of similar action and where default on an obligation is a virtual certainty, for example due to automatic stay provisions. A rating on an obligation is lowered to 'D' if it is subject to a distressed debt restructuring.

------

\*Ratings from 'AA' to 'CCC' may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the rating categories.

*Municipal Short-Term Note Ratings* 

SP-1 – Strong capacity to pay principal and interest. An issue determined to possess a very strong capacity to pay debt service is given a plus (+) designation.

SP-2 – Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest, with some vulnerability to adverse financial and economic changes over the term of the notes.

SP-3 – Speculative capacity to pay principal and interest.

D - 'D' is assigned upon failure to pay the note when due, completion of a distressed debt restructuring, or the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of similar action and where default on an obligation is a virtual certainty, for example due to automatic stay provisions.

*Short-Term Issue Credit Ratings* 

A-1 – A short-term obligation rated 'A-1' is rated in the highest category by S&P Global Ratings. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is strong. Within this category, certain obligations are designated with a plus sign (+). This indicates that the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on these obligations is extremely strong.

A-2 – A short-term obligation rated 'A-2' is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher rating categories. However, the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is satisfactory.

A-3 – A short-term obligation rated 'A-3' exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to weaken an obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.

B – A short-term obligation rated 'B' is regarded as vulnerable and has significant speculative characteristics. The obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitments; however, it faces major ongoing uncertainties that could lead to the obligor's inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitments.

C – A short-term obligation rated 'C' is currently vulnerable to nonpayment and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.

D – A short-term obligation rated 'D' is in default or in breach of an imputed promise. For non-hybrid capital instruments, the 'D' rating category is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due, unless S&P Global Ratings believes that such payments will be made within any stated grace period. However, any stated grace period longer than five business days will be treated as five business days. The 'D' rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of a similar action and where default on an obligation is a virtual certainty, for example due to automatic stay provisions. A rating on an obligation is lowered to 'D' if it is subject to a distressed debt restructuring.

***MOODY'S RATINGS ("MOODY'S")*** 

*Long-Term Rating Scale* 

Long-term ratings are assigned to issuers or obligations with an original maturity of eleven months or more and reflect both on the likelihood of a default or impairment on contractual financial obligations and the expected financial loss suffered in the event of default or impairment.

------

Aaa – Obligations rated Aaa are judged to be of the highest quality, subject to the lowest level of credit risk.

Aa – Obligations rated Aa are judged to be of high quality and are subject to very low credit risk.

A – Obligations rated A are judged to be upper-medium grade and are subject to low credit risk.

Baa – Obligations rated Baa are judged to be medium grade and subject to moderate credit risk and as such may possess certain speculative characteristics.

Ba – Obligations rated Ba are judged to be speculative and are subject to substantial credit risk.

B – Obligations rated B are considered speculative and are subject to high credit risk.

Caa – Obligations rated Caa are judged to be speculative of poor standing and are subject to very high credit risk.

Ca – Obligations rated Ca are highly speculative and are likely in, or very near, default, with some prospect of recovery of principal and interest.

C – Obligations rated C are the lowest rated and are typically in default, with little prospect for recovery of principal or interest.

Note: Moody's appends numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 to each generic rating classification from Aa through Caa. The modifier 1 indicates that the obligation ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier 3 indicates a ranking in the lower end of that generic rating category.

*Short-Term Rating Scale* 

Short-term ratings are assigned to obligations with an original maturity of thirteen months or less and reflect both on the likelihood of a default or impairment on contractual financial obligations and the expected financial loss suffered in the event of default or impairment.

P-1 – Ratings of Prime-1 reflect a superior ability to repay short-term obligations.

P-2 – Ratings of Prime-2 reflect a strong ability to repay short-term obligations.

P-3 – Ratings of Prime-3 reflect an acceptable ability to repay short-term obligations.

NP – Issuers (or supporting institutions) rated Not Prime do not fall within any of the Prime rating categories.

*Municipal Investment Grade Rating Scale* 

MIG 1 – This designation denotes superior credit quality. Excellent protection is afforded by established cash flows, highly reliable liquidity support, or demonstrated broad-based access to the market for refinancing.

MIG 2 – This designation denotes strong credit quality. Margins of protection are ample, although not as large as in the preceding group.

MIG 3 – This designation denotes acceptable credit quality. Liquidity and cash-flow protection may be narrow, and market access for refinancing is likely to be less well-established.

SG – This designation denotes speculative-grade credit quality. Debt instruments in this category may lack sufficient margins of protection.

*Variable Municipal Investment Grade Rating Scale* 

VMIG 1 – This designation denotes superior credit quality. Excellent protection is afforded by the superior short-term credit strength of the liquidity provider and structural and legal protections.

------

VMIG 2 – This designation denotes strong credit quality. Good protection is afforded by the strong short-term credit strength of the liquidity provider and structural and legal protections.

VMIG 3 – This designation denotes acceptable credit quality. Adequate protection is afforded by the satisfactory short-term credit strength of the liquidity provider and structural and legal protections.

SG – This designation denotes speculative-grade credit quality. Demand features rated in this category may be supported by a liquidity provider that does not have a sufficiently strong short-term rating or may lack the structural or legal protections.

***FITCH RATINGS, INC. ("FITCH'S")*** 

*Issuer Default Ratings* 

AAA – Highest credit quality. 'AAA' ratings denote the lowest expectation of default risk. They are assigned only in cases of exceptionally strong capacity for payment of financial commitments. This capacity is highly unlikely to be adversely affected by foreseeable events.

AA – Very high credit quality. 'AA' ratings denote expectations of very low default risk. They indicate very strong capacity for payment of financial commitments. This capacity is not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable events.

A – High credit quality. 'A' ratings denote expectations of low default risk. The capacity for payment of financial commitments is considered strong. This capacity may, nevertheless, be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic conditions than is the case for higher ratings.

BBB – Good credit quality. 'BBB' ratings indicate that expectations of default risk are currently low. The capacity for payment of financial commitments is considered adequate, but adverse business or economic conditions are more likely to impair this capacity.

BB – Speculative. 'BB' ratings indicate an elevated vulnerability to default risk, particularly in the event of adverse changes in business or economic conditions over time; however, business or financial flexibility exists that supports the servicing of financial commitments.

B – Highly speculative. 'B' ratings indicate that material default risk is present, but a limited margin of safety remains. Financial commitments are currently being met; however, capacity for continued payment is vulnerable to deterioration in the business and economic environment.

CCC – Substantial credit risk. Very low margin for safety. Default is a real possibility.

CC – Very high levels of credit risk. Default of some kind appears probable.

C – Near default. A default or default-like process has begun, or for a closed funding vehicle, payment capacity is irrevocably impaired.

RD – Restricted default. 'RD' ratings indicate an issuer that in Fitch's opinion has experienced an uncured payment default or distressed debt exchange on a bond, loan or other material financial obligation, but has not entered into bankruptcy filings, administration, receivership, liquidation, or other formal winding-up procedure, and has not otherwise ceased operating.

D – Default. 'D' ratings indicate an issuer that in Fitch's opinion has entered into bankruptcy filings, administration, receivership, liquidation or other formal winding-up procedure or that has otherwise ceased business and debt is still outstanding.

------

***Morningstar DBRS, Inc.*** 

*Long Term Obligations Scale* 

AAA – Highest credit quality. The capacity for the payment of financial obligations is exceptionally high and unlikely to be adversely affected by future events.

AA – Superior credit quality. The capacity for the payment of financial obligations is considered high. Credit quality differs from AAA only to a small degree. Unlikely to be significantly vulnerable to future events.

A – Good credit quality. The capacity for the payment of financial obligations is substantial, but of lesser credit quality than AA. May be vulnerable to future events, but qualifying negative factors are considered manageable.

BBB – Adequate credit quality. The capacity for the payment of financial obligations is considered acceptable. May be vulnerable to future events.

BB – Speculative, non-investment grade credit quality. The capacity for the payment of financial obligations is uncertain. Vulnerable to future events.

B – Highly speculative credit quality. There is a high level of uncertainty as to the capacity to meet financial obligations.

CCC– Very highly speculative credit quality. In danger of defaulting on financial obligations.

CC / C – Distressed. The CC rating level is generally applied to financial obligations that are seen as highly likely to default or that are subordinated to financial obligations rated in the CCC to B range. The C rating level characterizes financial obligations for which default has not technically taken place but is considered unavoidable.

D/SD – When the issuer has filed under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or winding up statute or there is a failure to satisfy a financial obligation after the exhaustion of grace periods, or in cases of a "distressed exchange", a downgrade to D (Default) may occur. Morningstar DBRS may also use SD (Selective Default) in cases where only some securities are affected, for example in a "distressed exchange".

*Commercial Paper and Short-Term Debt Rating Scale* 

R-1 (high) – Highest credit quality. The capacity for the payment of short-term financial obligations as they fall due is exceptionally high. Unlikely to be adversely affected by future events.

R-1 (middle) – Superior credit quality. The capacity for the payment of short-term financial obligations as they fall due is very high. Differs from R-1 (high) by a relatively modest degree. Unlikely to be significantly vulnerable to future events.

R-1 (low) – Good credit quality. The capacity for the payment of short-term financial obligations as they fall due is substantial. Overall strength is not as favorable as higher rating categories. May be vulnerable to future events, but qualifying negative factors are considered manageable.

R-2 (high) – Upper end of adequate credit quality. The capacity for the payment of short-term financial obligations as they fall due is acceptable. May be vulnerable to future events.

R-2 (middle) – Adequate credit quality. The capacity for the payment of short-term financial obligations as they fall due is acceptable. May be vulnerable to future events or may be exposed to other factors that could reduce credit quality.

R-2 (low) – Lower end of adequate credit quality. The capacity for the payment of short-term financial obligations as they fall due is acceptable. May be vulnerable to future events. A number of challenges are present that could affect the issuer's ability to meet such obligations.

------

R-3 – Lowest end of adequate credit quality. There is a capacity for the payment of short-term financial obligations as they fall due. May be vulnerable to future events and the certainty of meeting such obligations could be impacted by a variety of developments.

R-4 – Speculative credit quality. The capacity for the payment of short-term financial obligations as they fall due is uncertain.

R-5 – Highly speculative credit quality. There is a high level of uncertainty as to the capacity to meet short-term financial obligations as they fall due.

D – When the issuer has filed under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or winding-up statute, or there is a failure to satisfy an obligation after the exhaustion of grace periods, a downgrade to D may occur. Morningstar DBRS may also use SD (Selective Default) in cases where only some securities are impacted, such as the case of a "distressed exchange."

**<u>Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures to Maximize Shareholder Value and Protect Shareowner Interests</u>** 

It is the policy of ProFund Advisors LLC and ProShare Advisors LLC (collectively, the "Advisor") to seek to maximize shareholder value and protect shareholder interests when voting proxies on behalf of clients. The Advisor seeks to achieve this goal by utilizing a set of proxy voting guidelines (the "Guidelines") maintained and implemented by an independent service provider, Institutional Shareholder Services ("ISS"). The Advisor believes that these Policies and Procedures, including the Guidelines, are reasonably designed to ensure that proxy matters are conducted in the best interests of clients and in accordance with the Advisor's fiduciary duties, applicable rules under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, and, in the case of its registered fund clients, applicable rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

**Proxy Voting Guidelines** 

Proxies generally will be voted in accordance with the ISS Guidelines, an extensive list of common proxy voting issues and recommended voting actions for such issues based on the overall goal of achieving maximum shareholder value and protection of shareholder interests. Common issues in the Guidelines, and factors taken into consideration in voting proxies with respect to these issues, include, but are not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Election of Directors—considering factors such as director qualifications, term of office, age limits.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Proxy Contests—considering factors such as voting for nominees in contested elections and reimbursement of expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Election of Auditors—considering factors such as independence and reputation of the auditing firm.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Proxy Contest Defenses—considering factors such as board structure and cumulative voting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Tender Offer Defenses—considering factors such as poison pills (stock purchase rights plans) and fair price provisions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Miscellaneous Governance Issues—considering factors such as confidential voting and equal access.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Capital Structure—considering factors such as common stock authorization and stock distributions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Executive and Director Compensation—considering factors such as performance goals and employee stock purchase plans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•State of Incorporation—considering factors such as state takeover statutes and voting on reincorporation proposals.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Mergers and Corporate Restructuring—considering factors such as spinoffs and asset sales.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Mutual Fund Proxy Voting—considering factors such as election of directors and proxy contests.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Consumer and Public Safety Issues—considering factors such as social and environmental issues as well as labor issues.

A full description of the Guidelines is maintained by the Advisor and the Advisor has established a committee that monitors the effectiveness of the Guidelines (the "Brokerage Allocation and Proxy Voting Committee" or the "Committee").

The Advisor reserves the right to modify any of the recommendations set forth in the Guidelines with respect to any particular issue in the future, in accordance with the Advisor intent to vote proxies for clients in a manner that the Advisor determines is in the best interests of clients and which seeks to maximize the value of the client's investments. The Advisor is not required to vote every proxy in fulfilling its proxy voting obligations. In some cases, the Advisor may determine that it is in the best interests of a client to refrain from exercising proxy voting rights. For example, the Advisor may determine that the cost of voting certain proxies exceeds the expected benefit to the client (such as where casting a vote on a foreign security would require hiring a translator), and may abstain from voting in such cases.

------

In cases where the Advisor does not receive a solicitation or enough information with respect to a proxy vote within a sufficient time (as reasonably determined by the Advisor) prior to the proxy-voting deadline, the Advisor may be unable to vote. With respect to non- U.S. companies, it is typically difficult and costly to vote proxies due to local regulations, customs or other requirements or restrictions, and such circumstances may outweigh any anticipated economic benefit of voting. The major difficulties and costs may include: (i) appointing a proxy; (ii) obtaining reliable information about the time and location of a meeting; (iii) obtaining relevant information about voting procedures for foreign shareholders; (iv) restrictions on trading securities that are subject to proxy votes (share-blocking periods); (v) arranging for a proxy to vote locally in person; (vi) fees charged by custody banks for providing certain services with regard to voting proxies; and (vii) foregone income from securities lending programs. The Advisor does not vote proxies of non-U.S. companies if it determines that the expected costs of voting outweigh any anticipated economic benefit to the client of voting.

<u>Overview of the Proxy Voting Process</u> 

In relying on ISS to vote client proxies, the Advisor will take reasonable steps and obtain adequate information to verify that ISS has the capacity to provide adequate proxy advice, is independent of the Advisor, has an adequate conflict of interest policy, and does not have the incentive to vote proxies in anyone's interest other than that of the Advisor's client. In addition, the Committee will monitor for conflicts concerning ISS.

As proxy agent, ISS devotes research for proxies based on the level of complexity of the proxy materials to be voted. ISS assigns complex issues such as mergers or restructuring to senior analysts. Recurring issues for which case-by-case analysis is unnecessary are handled by more junior analysts. In every case, an analyst reviews publicly available information such as SEC filings and recent news reports and, if necessary, may contact issuers directly. Such discussions with issuers may be handled by telephone or in a face-to-face meeting. Analysts will seek to speak directly with management when a question is not answered by publicly available information and such information is needed for an informed recommendation.

As part of ISS's quality assurance process, every analysis is reviewed by a director of research or a chief policy advisor. Complex issues such as mergers are assigned to senior staff members. Contested issues are reviewed by research directors. While a senior analyst takes the lead on every proxy contest, a member of management will frequently conduct additional review by participating in calls with principals directly involved with the proxy issue.

Generally, proxies are voted in accordance with the voting recommendations as stated in the Guidelines. ISS will consult the Advisor on non-routine issues. Information about the Guidelines is available on the ISS web site at: http://www.issgovernance.com/file/policy/2015-us-summary-voting-guidelines-updated.pdf.

**Oversight of the Proxy Voting Process** 

The Advisor has established the Brokerage Allocation and Proxy Voting Committee, in part, to oversee the proxy voting process. ISS provides the Advisor quarterly reports, which the Advisor reviews to ensure that client proxies are being voted properly. The Advisor and ISS also perform spot checks on an intra-quarterly basis. ISS's management meets on a regular basis to discuss its approach to new developments and amendments to existing policies. Information on such developments or amendments, in turn, is provided to the Committee.

**Conflicts of Interest** 

From time to time, proxy issues may pose a material conflict of interest between the Advisor and its clients. It shall be the duty of the Committee to monitor for and to identify potential conflicts of interest. The Committee will also determine which conflicts are material (if any). To ensure that proxy voting decisions are based on the best interests of the client in the event a conflict of interest arises, the Advisor will direct ISS to use its independent judgment to vote affected proxies in accordance with the Guidelines. If a registered investment company managed by the Advisor owns shares of another investment company managed by the

------

Advisor, "echo voting" is employed to avoid certain potential conflicts of interest. Echo voting means that the Advisor votes the shares of each such underlying investment company in the same proportion as the vote of all of the other holders of the underlying investment company's shares.

The Committee will disclose to clients any voting issues that created a conflict of interest and the manner in which ISS, on behalf of the Advisor, voted such proxies.

**Securities Lending Program** 

The Advisor acknowledges that, when a registered fund client (a "Fund") lends its portfolio securities, the Fund's Trustees (who generally have delegated proxy voting responsibility to the Advisor) retain a fiduciary obligation to vote proxies relating to such securities and to recall the securities in the event of a shareholder vote on a material event affecting the security on the loan. Under the Fund's securities lending agreements, the Fund generally retains the right to recall a loaned security and to exercise the security's voting rights. In order to vote the proxies of securities out on loan, the Advisor must recall the securities prior to the established record date. It is the Advisor's general policy to use its best efforts to recall securities on loan and to vote proxies relating to such securities if the Advisor determines that such proxies involve a material event affecting the loaned securities. The Advisor may utilize third party service providers to assist it in identifying and evaluating whether an event is material.

As noted, in certain cases, the Advisor may determine that voting proxies is not in the best interest of a client and may refrain from voting if the costs, including the opportunity costs, of voting would, in the view of the Advisor, exceed the expected benefits of voting to the client. For securities on loan, the Advisor will balance the revenue-producing value of loans against the difficult-to-assess value of casting votes. If the Advisor determines that the expected value of casting a vote will be less than the securities lending income, either because the votes would not have significant economic consequences or because the outcome of the vote would not be affected by the Advisor's recalling the loaned securities in order to ensure they are voted (*e.g.*, for an annual shareholder meeting at which purely routine votes are at issue, or if the relevant Fund owns a de minimus percentage of the outstanding shares at issue). The Advisor intends to recall securities on loan if it determines that voting the securities is likely to affect materially the value of the Fund's investment and that it is in the Fund's best interests to do so.

**Availability of Information; Record of Proxy Voting** 

The Advisor, with the assistance of ISS, shall maintain for a period of at least five years the following records relating to proxy voting on behalf of clients:

(1) proxy voting policies and procedures;

(2) proxy statements received for clients (unless such statements are available on the SEC's Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (EDGAR) system);

(3) any documents prepared by the Advisor that were material to making a proxy voting decision or that memorialized the basis for the decision;

(4) records of votes cast on behalf of clients (which may be maintained by a third party service provider if the service provider undertakes to provide copies of those records promptly upon request); and

(5) records of written requests for proxy voting information and written responses from the Advisor to either a written or oral request.

**ITEM 29. Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control With Registrant.** 

None.

**ITEM 30. Indemnification** 

ProFunds (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is operated pursuant to a Declaration of Trust, dated as of April 17, 1997 (the "Declaration of Trust"), that permits ProFunds to indemnify its trustees and officers under certain circumstances. Such indemnification, however, is subject to the limitations imposed by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Declaration of Trust of ProFunds provides that officers and trustees of the Trust shall be indemnified by the Trust against liabilities and expenses they may incur while defending themselves in proceedings brought against them arising out of (i) their service as officers or trustees of the Trust, or else (ii) their service as officers or trustees of another entity, when serving at the request of such other entity. This indemnification is subject to the following conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) no trustee or officer of the Trust is indemnified against any liability to the Trust or its security holders which was the result of any willful misconduct, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of his duties;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) officers and trustees of the Trust are indemnified only for actions taken in good faith which the officers and trustees believed were in or not opposed to the best interests of the Trust; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) expenses of any suit or proceeding will be paid in advance only if the persons who will benefit by such advance undertake to repay the expenses unless it subsequently is determined that such persons are entitled to indemnification.

The Declaration of Trust of ProFunds provides that if indemnification is not ordered by a court, indemnification may be authorized upon determination by shareholders, or by a majority vote of a quorum of the trustees who were not parties to the proceedings or, if this quorum is not obtainable, if directed by a quorum of disinterested trustees, or by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the persons to be indemnified have met the applicable standard.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel for ProFunds (the "Trust"), a trust duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, in connection with the post-effective amendment to the Trust's Registration Statement on Form N-1A, together with all Exhibits thereto (the "Registration Statement") relating to the issuance and sale by the Trust of an indefinite number of shares of beneficial interest of the Trust's series having fiscal years ending December 31, 2025, to be dated on or about April 30, 2026. We have examined such governmental and corporate certificates and records as we deemed necessary to render this opinion and we are familiar with the Trust's Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and its Bylaws.

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the shares proposed to be sold pursuant to the Registration Statement, when paid for as contemplated in the Registration Statement, will be legally and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and to the use of our name in the Trust's Registration Statement and in any revised or amended versions thereof. In giving such consent, however, we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required by Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Very truly yours,

**Amended and Restated**

**CODE OF ETHICS**

**July 7, 2025**

The following Combined Code of Ethics (the "Code") is adopted by ProFunds and ProShares Trust (each a "Trust" and jointly the "Trusts"), ProFund Advisors LLC and ProShare Advisors LLC (each an "Advisor" and jointly the "Advisors") and ProFunds Distributors, Inc. ("PDI"), (jointly the "Firm") pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") and Rule 204A-1 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the "Advisers Act") (unless specifically identified, Rule 17j-1 and Rule 204A-1 are collectively referred to as the "Rules"). The Advisors are investment advisors to registered investment companies and other persons or entities ("Clients").

This Code is designed to ensure that all acts, practices and courses of business engaged in by personnel of the Trusts, the Advisors and PDI reflect high standards of conduct and comply with the requirements of the federal securities laws. Please see the Chief Compliance Officer (the "CCO") should you have any questions about this Code. Other policies or forms may be incorporated into this Code by reference.

**I.Definitions**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A."Access Person" means:

any Investment Personnel; or

any director/trustee, officer, active general partner, managing member or employee of the Trusts (collectively ProFunds and ProShares), the Advisors or PDI (or of any company in a control relationship to the Trusts, the Advisors or PDI) who, in connection with his or her regular functions or duties, makes, participates in, obtains or has access to information regarding the purchase or sale of Covered Securities (as defined in this Code) by the Trusts whose functions relate to or provide access to the making of any recommendations with respect to such purchases or sales; or

**Combined Code of Ethics 09-16-15 as revised 7-7-25**

any natural person in a control relationship to the Trusts, the Advisors or PDI who obtains information concerning recommendations made to the Trusts or Clients with regard to the purchase or sale of Covered Securities by the Trusts or Client; or

any Supervised Person with access to non-public information regarding any Clients' purchase or sale of securities, or non-public information regarding the portfolio holdings of any fund the Advisors or their control affiliates manage.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B."Beneficial Ownership" shall be interpreted in the same manner as it would be under Rule 16a-1(a)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") in determining whether a person is subject to the provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations there under.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C."Control" shall have the same meaning as that set forth in Section 2(a) (9) of the 1940 Act. Section 2(a) (9) provides that "control" generally means the power to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of a company, unless such power is solely the result of an official position with such company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D."Covered Officers" means any person serving as a named officer of any of the

Trusts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E."Covered Security" shall include any "security" as set forth in Section 2(a) (36) of the 1940 Act, subject to any modifications set forth in this Section I.E. of the Code. For avoidance of doubt, "Covered Security" shall include futures contracts on securities indices, options on such futures contracts, shares of exchange-traded funds and corporate bonds or debentures. The term "Covered Security" shall not include (i) direct obligations of the Government of the United States;

(ii)bankers' acceptances, bank certificates of deposit, commercial paper and high quality short- term debt instruments, including repurchase agreements; (iii) shares of registered open-end investment companies other than exchange-traded funds, investment companies advised or sub- advised by any of the Advisors, or investment companies whose investment advisor or principal underwriter is in a control relationship to any of the Advisors; (iv) such other securities as may be excepted under the provisions of the Rules.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;F."Family/Household" shall include (1) the Supervised Person's spouse or domestic partner (unless they do not live in the same household as the person and the person does not contribute in any way to their support); (2) the Supervised Person's children under the age of 18;

(3) the Supervised Person's children who are 18 or older (unless they do not live in the same household as the person and the person does not contribute in any way to their support); (4) any of the following people who live in the person's household: stepchildren, grandchildren, parents, stepparents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, parents-in-law, sons-in-law, daughters-in-law,

**Combined Code of Ethics 09-16-15 as revised 7-7-25**

brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, including adoptive relationships, foster children and such custodial relationships.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;G.An "Initial Public Offering" means an offering of securities registered under the Securities Act of 1933, the issuer of which, immediately before the registration, was not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;H."Investment Personnel" means: (1) any employees, officers and directors of the Trusts, the Advisors, and the Trusts' principal underwriters (or of any company in a control relationship to the Trusts, the Advisors or the Trusts' principal underwriters) who, in connection with their regular functions or duties, make or participate in making recommendations regarding the purchase or sale of securities by the Trusts; and (2) any natural person who controls the Trusts, the Advisors or PDI and who obtains information concerning recommendations made to the Trusts regarding the purchase or sale of securities by the Trusts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I.A "Limited Offering" means an offering that is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Section 4(2) or Section 4(6) or pursuant to Rule 504, Rule 505, or Rule 506 under the Securities Act of 1933.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;J."Purchase or sale of a security" for purposes of this Code and each report the Chief Compliance Officer designates as necessary to ascertain whether compliance with the Code has been met or other Appendix hereto includes, among other things, the writing of an option to purchase or sell a security.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;K.A "Security held or to be acquired" means: (1) any Covered Security which, within the most recent 15 days: (a) is or has been held by the Trust or a Client under the direction of the Advisors; or (b) is being considered by the Trusts, the Advisors or PDI for purchase or sale; and

(2)any option to purchase or sell, and any security convertible into or exchangeable for a Covered Security described in Section (E) of the Code above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;L."Service Providers" means Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc., Fidelity National Information Systems ("FIS"), Foreside Financial Group, LLC, J.P. Morgan Investor Services Co., SEI Investments Distribution Co., SEI Investments Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;M."Supervised Person" means: (1) any officer, director (or other person occupying a similar status or performing similar functions), or employee of the Advisors; (2) any other person who provides investment advice on behalf of the Advisors and is subject to the supervision and control of the Advisors; or (3) any person affiliated with PDI as a Registered Representative (a "PDI Registered Representative").

**II.Legal Requirement**

**Combined Code of Ethics 09-16-15 as revised 7-7-25**

The federal securities laws make it unlawful for any affiliated person of the Trusts, the Advisors or PDI in connection with the purchase or sale, directly or indirectly, by such person of a Covered Security held or to be acquired by the Trusts or Clients:

To employ any device, scheme or artifice to defraud the Trusts or Clients;

To make to the Trusts or Clients any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state to the Trusts or Clients a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading;

To engage in any act, practice, or course of business that operates or would operate as a fraud or deceit upon the Trusts or Clients; or

To engage in any manipulative practice with respect to the Trusts or Clients.

In order to assure compliance with these restrictions, each of the Trusts, the Advisors and PDI adopts and agrees to be governed by the provisions contained in this Code.

**III.General Principles and Standards of Business Conduct**

As an investment advisor, the Advisors owe a fiduciary duty to the Trusts and Clients. In relation to the Trust and Clients, a fiduciary is required to act in good faith, make full and fair disclosure of material facts relating to conflicts of interests, and employ care to avoid making misleading statements.

The following standards of business conduct shall govern personal investment activities and the interpretation and administration of the Code:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.The interests of Trust shareholders and Clients must be placed first at all times;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.All personal securities transactions must be conducted consistently with the Code and in such a manner as to avoid any actual or potential conflict of interest or any abuse of an individual's position of trust and responsibility;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.All persons who acknowledge receipt of the Code should not create or trade on the basis of rumors that could materially affect the price of any security.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D.All persons who acknowledge receipt of the Code should not take inappropriate advantage of their positions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E.All persons who acknowledge receipt of the Code must comply with applicable federal securities laws.

**Combined Code of Ethics 09-16-15 as revised 7-7-25**

This Code does not attempt to identify all possible conflicts of interest, and literal compliance with each of its specific provisions will not shield an individual from liability for personal trading or other conduct that violates a fiduciary duty to the Trusts' shareholders or advisory Clients.

IV. Substantive Restrictions

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.Restricted lists. From time to time, the Chief Compliance Officer may publish a list of restricted securities. No Access Person may directly or indirectly (for example, via a single-stock ETF) purchase or sell, or modify any prior order to purchase or sell, or place a limit order for the purchase or sale of any security on the restricted list.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.Short-Term Trading Restriction. Access Persons are prohibited from engaging in a purchase and sale, or a sale and purchase, of the same Covered Securities (or any closely related security such as an option or a related convertible or exchangeable security or another security from the same issuer) within two (2) business days determined from the most recent purchase or sale. Access Persons may purchase or sell an option on a Covered Security position to hedge existing holdings within the two day period. If exercised, the purchase date of the underlying option is considered to be the purchase date of the security. Access Persons who are independent members of the Board of Trustees but who are not interested persons of the Trusts or the Advisors as defined in the 1940 Act, or employees whose accounts are exempt under Section IV.F of the Code, are not subject to the Short-Term Trading Restriction as long as they do not have knowledge of trading activities conducted by the Advisors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.Use of Material Non-Public Information. All Supervised Persons are required to comply with the **Insider Trading Policy,** as designated by the Chief Compliance Officer, when trading securities for their personal accounts. If any Supervised Person possesses material non- public information regarding an entity, its securities, or the market for such entity's securities, such Supervised Person generally may not:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•trade in that entity's securities, including options, puts, calls or other derivative securities,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•direct others to trade on his or her behalf,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•disclose the information or suggests trades to another individual.

**Overview**

DWS's Values

DWS has established a clear set of values which lie at the core of what we do – Client Commitment, Entrepreneurial Spirit and Sustainable Action. These values guide our behavior with clients, with each other, with our shareholders and with the communities we serve. They define the type of institution DWS aspires to be. Each of the values rests on a set of beliefs which set out how we seek to conduct ourselves as we live our values and reflects our own history, the interests of our stakeholders and the changing environment in which we operate.

Risk Culture

With these guiding values, DWS has defined and embedded a set of risk culture behaviors that align with those values. These behaviors, listed below, operationalize DWS's values enhancing its corporate governance through a strong risk management culture and establishing DWS's expectations that all employees take a holistic approach to managing risk and return and effectively managing DWS's risk, capital and reputation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Being rigorous, forward looking, and comprehensive in the assessment of risk.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Reporting to DWS Compliance behaviors inconsistent with our risk culture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Identifying and mitigating potential and actual conflicts of interests.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Troubleshooting collectively.

6 / Pre-Clearance Requirements

All Access Persons must pre-clear transactions (e.g., purchases, sales, and gifting) in any Security (as defined) prior to execution in a Trading Account. Access Persons must enter pre-clearance requests via StarCompliance, which will process such request. StarCompliance is available via DWS Network.

**Employees must not commit funds, place orders or execute transactions until written confirmation has been received from DWS Employee Compliance that the request has been approved. Approvals are valid only for the day granted. For clarification, if you received written approval for a transaction in a Security, your transaction must be executed on the same day that you received written approval and by the time the market on which the Security is traded closes. If you do not execute the order on the same day that you received written approval, you must repeat the pre-clearance process before executing the transaction the next day. Good Till Cancelled ("GTC") orders, limit orders, or any other carry-over orders are NOT permitted.**

All pre-clearance requests will be routed to the DWS Employee's manager for review and approval before Compliance review. Managers have an important role in overseeing and ensuring DWS Employees conduct their personal trading activities in compliance with the Code. Specifically, managers are responsible for considering the activities performed by the DWS Employee on behalf of DWS and the activities of the business area, including, but not limited to, if the DWS Employee has access to information relating to DWS research or trade activity, whether the DWS Employee has access to inside information relating to the Security or related Securities (i.e., industry peers), and the frequency of transactions and time dedicated to personal trading by the DWS Employee's relative to his or her responsibilities to DWS and its clients. Managers should not approve requests that are considered prohibited transactions; present conflicts, actual or potential, with DB or DWS, clients or responsibilities; or present any other issues that are relevant to the business / DWS Employee situation that may indicate a concern. Additionally, managers should consider the nature, pattern and / or frequency of trading activity of DWS Employee and raise any concerns or questions to Compliance prior to approval.

For avoidance of doubt, approval by the DWS Employee's manager is not considered DWS Employee Compliance approval. Written confirmation from DWS Employee Compliance (whether manually or via StarCompliance) is required before proceeding with the transaction.

**In addition to the exclusions from the definition of Security below, the following transactions are exempted from the pre-clearance requirement:**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Transactions in disclosed and approved Discretionary Managed Accounts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Transactions in DWS open-end Investment Companies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Acquisitions or dispositions of Securities as the result of a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, merger, consolidation, spin-off or other similar corporate distribution or reorganization applicable to all holders of a class of Securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Purchases of Securities through an employer sponsored share purchase plan, such as the DWS or Deutsche Bank Group Global Share Purchase Plan ("GSPP") (or similar plans), and the receipt of shares, rights, or options (including the exercise of options or other conversions to shares) from an employer as compensation. **(All sales of such Securities received through employer sponsored share purchase plans or as compensation must be precleared)**;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Receipt of underlying equity, including where the equity is provided net of tax, the transfer of equity received to another disclosed account, or election to receive cash or notional value rather than shares at the time of vesting through a deferred compensation scheme/plan (including the exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Selling or purchasing rights solely to round the rights awarded or granted pursuant to a corporate action to be able to purchase a complete share;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Purchases and sales of currencies and in digital or crypto currencies; however, transactions in digital or crypto currencies and assets during an ICO or IEO would be subject to pre-clearance. Additionally, any crypto currency trust

or exchange traded products and any derivative or futures-related transactions in digital or crypto currencies and related assets would be subject to pre-clearance. **Please note that mining digital or crypto currencies and assets using personal equipment or as a business must be pre-cleared as a Private Investment Transaction or Outside Business Activity. Mining digital or crypto currencies and assets using DWS equipment is strictly prohibited**;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Transactions in cash commodities where the Access Person accepts physical delivery;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Transfers from one Trading Account to another Trading Account of the same Access Person, provided that the second Trading Account has been disclosed in accordance with the Code;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Securities purchased under a program in which regular periodic purchases are made automatically in Trading Accounts in accordance with a predetermined schedule and allocation (e.g. issuer sponsored DRIPs). **Additional or occasional purchases outside of the program and all sales of shares would be subject to pre-clearance;**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Regular investments within a regular savings plan for DWS Access Persons located in Germany: Saving plans are periodic investments into the same Security, based on an agreement with the broker, which are booked on a Trading Account. Herewith, savings plans are only permitted on Securities which are not to be pre-cleared and ETFs. Please note that for existing savings plans on other Securities which require pre-clearance, they can remain in place in case they were notified to DWS Employee Compliance before the review date of this Code. For a savings plan in ETFs, DWS Employee Compliance must be notified of the savings plan upon setup. Frequent changes to savings plans are generally discouraged. DWS Employee Compliance may reject a savings plan if it is deemed inconsistent with the intent and criteria of this policy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Participating or receiving Securities in conjunction with tender offers. Subsequent sales of Securities must be pre- cleared and will be subject to the short-term trading and holding period requirements described above;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Transactions in collective investment schemes that are not exchanged traded products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Shares sold in accordance to Rule 10b5-1 Plan. Please note that any Rule 10b5-1 Plan must be disclosed (including a copy of the Rule 10b5-1 Plan) to DWS Compliance before being established, unless the Rule 10b5-1 Plan was established prior to employment at DWS; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Transactions in cash management vehicles, such as money market Investment Companies.

Access Persons are required to promptly provide Compliance with evidence of all trading activity; at a minimum this includes statements and copies of executed transaction details, however Compliance may request other evidence, as needed. To assist in fulfilling this requirement, Access Persons can directly arrange for their Broker(s) to provide this trading activity information to Compliance via StarCompliance. Access Persons are responsible for ensuring the arrangement is implemented and, upon leaving DWS, is terminated. In case this is not an available option within your region (e.g. in Germany), you are required to manually upload evidence as soon as reasonably possible.

7 / Restrictions

Access Persons must ensure conflicts or the appearance of conflicts are identified, mitigated and managed, between their duties and responsibilities to our Advisory Clients and their personal investment activities. Technical compliance with the Code will not automatically insulate any transaction in any Trading Accounts from scrutiny that indicates an abuse of your fiduciary duties or that creates an appearance of such abuse.

Note that violations of these restrictions may result in a Red Flag and/or other disciplinary actions, including but not limited to, disgorging profits, suspending trading, terminating employment, and being subject to regulatory sanctions and fines. Please refer to Section 9 for additional information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.General

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. Specific Blackout Period Restrictions

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**i.Same-Day** Rule:

Access Persons shall not knowingly or otherwise effect the purchase or sale of a Security in their Trading Accounts on a day during which any Advisory Client has an open "buy" or "sell" order for the same Security, until that order is withdrawn or fully executed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**ii.5-Day** Rule:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a)Investment Personnel shall not purchase or sell a Security in their Trading Accounts within **five calendar days before or five calendar days after** the same Security (i) is traded (or contemplated to be traded) for an Advisory Client account with which the individual is associated; or (ii) is added to/deleted from or has its weighting changed in a model portfolio; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**iii.Deutsche Bank and DWS Issued Securities:**

During certain times of the year, Access Persons are prohibited from conducting transactions in equity and debt securities of Deutsche Bank AG and DWS Group GmbH & Co. KgaA ("DWS Group"). DWS Compliance generally imposes these "blackout" periods around the fiscal reporting of corporate earnings. Blackouts typically begin three days prior to the expected quarterly or annual earnings announcement and end after earnings are released publicly. Additional restricted periods may be required for certain individuals and events, and DWS Compliance will advise when such additional restricted periods are in effect. Additionally, Access Persons are prohibited from short selling (e.g., selling a security that is not held in your Trading Account) or trading in options or derivatives with a DB or DWS Group security as an underlying instrument. (Transactions in DB and/or DWS Group securities are also subject to local requirements.)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**iv.Exceptions to Blackout Periods (above items i and ii only):**

The following transactions in Securities are exempt from the Same Day Rule and 5-Day Rule noted above:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Purchases or sales of 500 shares or less of an equity Security of an issuer in, or a derivative contract (e.g., option or futures) with an underlying index consisteing of, one of the following indexes : Stoxx 50, Eurostoxx 50, DAX, FTSE MIB 40, CAC 40, Ibex 35, AEX, ATX, SMI, FTSE 100, ASX 200, and S&P 500 Indices;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Transactions in Discretionary Managed Accounts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Securities purchased under a program in which automatic purchases are made in Trading Accounts in accordance with a predetermined schedule and allocation (e.g. issuer sponsored Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("DRIPs")) but excluding any purchases outside of the program (**However, the sale of such Securities will be subject to the Blackout Periods above**.);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•To the extent acquired from the issuer, Securities acquired upon the exercise of rights issued to holders of a class of such Securities (**However, the sale of such Securities will be subject to the Blackout Periods above**.);

Code of Ethics – DWS Group (U.S. Registered Entities)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Securities bought or sold in accordance to a Rule 10b5-1 Plan<sup>6</sup> or similar pre-established, written trading contract or plan that expressly specifies the amount, price, and date to buy or sell a security.<sup>7</sup> This written plan or contract must instruct another person to purchase or sell the Security for the instructing person's account and not permit the Access Person to exercise any subsequent influence over how, when, or whether to effect sales, provided that any other person exercising such influence must not be aware of any inside information when doing so.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. Initial Public Offerings ("IPOs")

Access Persons are prohibited from purchasing or subscribing for Securities pursuant to an initial public offering or limited offering. This prohibition applies even if DB or DWS Group (or any affiliate) has no underwriting role and/or is not involved with the distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D. Short-Term Trading and Holding Period Requirement

Access Persons must always conduct their personal trading activities lawfully, properly and responsibly, and are encouraged to adopt long-term investment strategies that are consistent with their financial resources and objectives. DWS generally discourages personal short-term trading strategies, and Access Persons are cautioned that such personal short term trading strategies may inherently carry a higher risk of regulatory scrutiny. In any event, excessive or inappropriate trading that interferes with job performance or compromises the duty that DWS owes its Advisory Clients and shareholders is not appropriate and will not be tolerated.

Access Persons are prohibited from purchasing and selling any Securities within any 30 calendar day period. The 30 calendar day period is calculated using the Last In, First Out ("LIFO") basis (e.g. any additional purchases in the same security, regardless of Trading Account, would start the 30 calendar day period over). Requirements under the holding period may be waived in exceptional circumstances by DWS Compliance. For clarification, Securities must be held through 30 days and may not be traded until day 31.

**The following are exempted from this restriction:**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Securities purchased under a program in which automatic purchases are made in Trading Accounts in accordance with a predetermined schedule and allocation (e.g. issuer sponsored DRIPs and Periodic Purchase Plans/Automatic Investment Plans/Regular savings plans for open-end Investment Companies advised by DWS). **Additional or occasional purchases of Securities outside of the program would be subject to the 30 calendar day short-term trading requirement**;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•To the extent acquired from the issuer, Securities acquired upon the automatic exercise of rights issued to holders of a class of Securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Purchases of Securities through an employer sponsored share purchase plan, such as the DWS or Deutsche Bank Group Global Share Purchase Plan ("GSPP") (or similar plans), and the receipt of shares, rights, or options (including the exercise of options or other conversions to shares) from an employer as compensation;

6 When a contract, instruction or plan is relied upon under this rule, it must meet detailed criteria set forth in Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B) and (C).

7 The SEC has expressed its view about the concept of trading "on the basis of" material, non-public information in Rule 10b5-1. Under Rule 10b5-1, and subject to the affirmative defenses contained in the rule, a purchase or sale of a security of an issuer is "on the basis" of material non-public information about that security or issuer if the person making the purchase or sale was aware of the material, non-public information when the person made the purchase or sale. A person's purchase or sale is not "on the basis of" material, non-public information if he or she demonstrates that before becoming aware of the information, the person had entered into a binding contract to purchase or sell the security, instructed another person to purchase or sell the security for the instructing person's account, or adopted a written plan for trading securities

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E. Short Sales

Access Persons may not sell short any Security, directly or indirectly (e.g. via options), including covered shorts (i.e. selling short "against the box").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;F. Restricted List

The Restricted List is comprised of Securities in which the normal trading or recommending activity of DWS Group, including the personal trading of Access Persons, is prohibited or subject to specified restrictions (e.g., inside information).

All Access Persons are responsible for checking the Restricted List prior to entering into any transaction, soliciting customer orders or issuing research. Failure to observe the requirements of the Restricted List is considered a serious disciplinary matter and may result in sanctions, which could include dismissal.

The Restricted List can be found at Restricted List or can be accessed from the intranet home page under Useful Links\Compliance.

For additional information, please also see the Restricted List Policy – Global.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;G. Investments in DB/DWS Shares

Trading in options and derivatives involving DB Shares, DWS Shares or with DB Group or DWS Group underlying is prohibited. For example, the following types of transactions are specifically prohibited:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i.Derivatives on DB Shares or DWS Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii.Short positions, including covered shorts; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iii.Hedging of compensation awards that are not fully delivered and vested (hedging of FX expo-sure is permitted).

Supporting documentation must be provided to Compliance upon request. Approvals for Private Investment Transactions are good for 30 calendar days. Additional time may be granted by DWS Compliance.

All existing PITs are required to be disclosed to Compliance within 10 days of becoming an Access Person, as noted above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**i.DB or** DWS-Sponsored Private Placements, Private Investment Partnerships and Other Private Interests

Access Person investments or transactions (including liquidations) in DB or DWS private products raises special concerns regarding the potential for conflicts of interest or the appearance of conflicts. In addition, pursuant to the Volcker Rule, Access Persons may not invest in DB or DWS-sponsored private funds, that are exempt from the definition of "investment company" under Section 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) ("Related Covered Funds"), except for any Access Person who is directly providing investment advisory or other services to the fund.

9 / Compliance Oversight

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. DWS Compliance Oversight

DWS Employee Compliance Office administers, monitors and reports on violations of the requirements set forth in the Code. DWS Employee Compliance Office is also responsible for administering a pre-clearance system for all Access Persons in accordance with the requirements of the Code, collecting and reviewing the reports and attestations required under the Code and identifying and reporting to DWS Compliance with respect to (i) all violations and (ii) actions taken to address such violations based on DWS's Consequence Management Standards (see below).

DWS Employee Compliance Office is responsible for escalating any issues that fall outside of DWS's Consequence Management Standards to the Chief Compliance Officer(s) (or his or her designee) for the respective DWS Entity. The Chief Compliance Officer(s) (or his or her designee) for each DWS Entity will be responsible for providing oversight of DWS Employee Compliance Office and its administration of the Code. DWS Employee Compliance Office will provide reporting, no less frequently than monthly, of all violations of the Code to the Chief Compliance Officer(s) (or his or her designee) for each DWS Entity. Access Persons may contact DWS Employee Compliance Office with any interpretation questions relating to the Code by sending an email to your respective regional contacts:

DWS-Americas.EC-CCR@db.com

DWS-APAC.EC -CCR@db.com

DWS-EMEA.EC -CCR@db.com

DWS-UKI.EC -CCR@db.com

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. DWS's Consequence Management Standards

The sanctions recommended by the Chief Compliance Officer may, to the extent permitted by local regulations, include, but not be limited to, written breaches of policy, issuance of Red Flags, full or partial disgorgement of profits, consideration of such violation during year-end performance and discretionary compensation review, imposition of a penalty, censure, trading suspension, or dismissal. As part of any sanction, (e.g., for violation of the Code's restrictions on short-term trading and holding period requirements or trading during blackout periods), Access Persons may be required to reverse or unwind a transaction and to forfeit any profit or to absorb any loss from the transaction. If a transaction in a Security cannot be reversed or unwound, you may be required to disgorge any profits associated with the transaction, which profits will be distributed in a manner prescribed by the respective DWS Entity in the exercise of its discretion. Profits derived from transactions in Securities in violation of the Code may not be offset by any losses from other transactions. In certain circumstances, the Chief Compliance Officer will escalate matters to DWS Anti-Financial Crime Investigations ("DWS AFCI") for an independent investigation.

The Red Flags process is an integral part of DWS's global Risk Culture initiatives, aimed at embedding a strong Risk Culture across the Firm. This includes making sure the Firm only rewards the right behaviors. Access Person personal account dealing is one of the categories that will be measured for compliance. An Access Person's Red Flags data will therefore be
