Message from the Chairman

 

Dear Shareholder,

 

Economic and market sentiments were generally more positive during the reporting period, though concern about inflation, the potential for recession, and other market forces continued to linger. ProFunds is committed to helping you, our investors, meet this challenging environment by providing an innovative array of products and services designed to help you meet your objectives. Following is the Government Money Market ProFund Annual Report to Shareholders for the 12 months ended December 31, 2023.

 

The Government Money Market ProFund invests substantially all of its assets in the Government Cash Management Portfolio, a separate investment company managed by DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc.

 

Money market rates moved in a range of between 4.3% and 5.3% during the period, tracking the target of the Federal Funds Rate.

 

Interest Rates Rise and Stay High Despite Moderating Inflation

 

Combating elevated inflation and avoiding a recession dominated economic policymaking in 2023. The year began with central bankers of the Federal Reserve on a campaign to bring down inflation by raising short-term interest rates, which were increased to a target range of between 5.25% and 5.5% at the Fed’s July meeting. Rates have remained unchanged since then, and Chairman Powell has communicated that the Fed will “let the data reveal the appropriate path” before it decides whether to begin lowering rates. Inflation moderated throughout the year (though not in a straight line), with the Consumer Price Index declining to just over 3% by the fall.

 

Despite concerns about the economic impact of Fed rate hikes, a feared recession never materialized during the period, and the potential for a much-hoped-for “soft landing” grew as the year progressed. While U.S. real GDP growth slowed slightly in the second quarter of 2023, third-quarter growth came in strong at 4.9%. The U.S. unemployment rate ticked up slightly through the fall but remained low, ending the reporting period at 3.7%. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index declined just slightly, falling 2.7%.

 

Government Money Market ProFund

 

Amid elevated (though moderating) inflation and high interest rates over the period, the Government Money Market ProFund continued to achieve its objective of maintaining a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share per investor. The fund potentially benefits investors by seeking a higher level of current income consistent with liquidity and capital preservation. It also serves investors as a vehicle for moving money between ProFunds products, or for holding assets until they are ready to invest. In 2023, however, thanks to elevated interest rates, the Government Money Market ProFund provided investors who parked cash in the fund a modest annualized return of 4.2%, which is meaningfully above the fund’s historical average.

 

We thank you for the trust and confidence you have placed in us by using the Government Money Market ProFund, and we appreciate the opportunity to continue serving your investment needs.

 

Sincerely,

 

Michael L. Sapir
Chairman of the Board of Trustees

Fund Performance, Allocation of Portfolio Holdings and Expense Examples

 

 

 

 

4 :: Government Money Market ProFund :: Fund Performance

 

The Government Money Market ProFund seeks, as its investment objective, a high level of current income consistent with liquidity and preservation of capital. The seven-day yield, as of December 31, 2023, was 4.52% for the Investor Class and 3.48% for the Service Class.

 

The assets of the Fund are part of a $38 billion portfolio managed by DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. Its managers seek to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00, however there is no assurance that they will be able to do so.

 

An investment in this Fund is neither guaranteed nor insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the ProFund strives to maintain the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in this Fund.

 

Past performance is not predictive of future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. Yield will vary and principal value may fluctuate so that the investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. The performance above reflects any fee reductions during the applicable periods. If such fee reductions had not occurred, the quoted performance would be lower. To obtain performance information current to the most recent month end, please visit ProFunds.com.

 

The above information is not covered by the Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

Investment Objective: The Government Money Market ProFund seeks a high level of current income consistent with liquidity and preservation of capital.

 

An investment in this ProFund is neither guaranteed nor insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the ProFund strives to maintain the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the ProFund.

Expense Examples

 

As a ProFund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including wire redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other ProFund expenses (including expenses allocated from the Government Cash Management Portfolio). These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the ProFund and to compare these costs with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table below are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. Therefore, these examples are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total cost of owning different funds.

 

Actual Expenses

 

The actual expense examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of a six-month period and held throughout the period ended December 31, 2023.

 

The columns below under the heading entitled “Actual” provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Expenses for Comparison Purposes

 

The hypothetical expense examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of a six-month period and held throughout the period ended December 31, 2023.

 

The columns below under the heading entitled “Hypothetical” provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the ProFund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the ProFund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the ProFund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

 

 

 

12 :: Government Money Market ProFund :: Notes to Financial Statements :: December 31, 2023

 

1. Organization

 

ProFunds (the “Trust”) consists of 116 separate investment portfolios and is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and thus follows accounting and reporting guidance for investment companies. The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of no par value which may be issued in more than one class or series. The accompanying financial statements relate to the Government Money Market ProFund, (the “ProFund”). The ProFund has two classes of shares: the Investor Class and Service Class. The ProFund is a feeder fund in a master-feeder fund structure and seeks to achieve its objective by investing all of its investable assets in the Government Cash Management Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), an open-end management investment company that is advised by DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. (“DIMA”) and has the same investment objective as the ProFund. As of December 31, 2023, the percentage of the Portfolio’s interests owned by the ProFund was 0.4%. The financial statements of the Portfolio, including its schedule of portfolio investments, are included in this report and should be read in conjunction with the ProFund’s financial statements.

 

Each class of shares has identical rights and privileges except with respect to fees paid under the Distribution and Shareholder Services Plan and voting rights on matters affecting a single class of shares.

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust and ProFund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the ProFund.

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the ProFund in preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. The actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Investment Valuation

 

The ProFund records its investments in the Portfolio at fair value, which represents its proportionate ownership of the value of the Portfolio’s net assets. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described in Note 3. The Portfolio’s Notes to Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report provide information about the Portfolio’s valuation policy and its period-end security valuations.

 

Investment Transactions and Related Income

 

Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date on the last business day of the reporting period.

 

The ProFund records daily its proportionate share of the Portfolio’s income, expenses, and realized gains and losses. In addition, the ProFund accrues its own expenses.

 

Allocations

 

Expenses directly attributable to the ProFund are charged to the ProFund, while expenses which are attributable to more than one fund in the Trust, or jointly with an affiliate, are allocated among the respective funds in the Trust and/or affiliate based upon relative net assets or another reasonable basis.

 

The investment income, expenses (other than class specific expenses charged to a class) and realized gains and losses on investments of the ProFund are allocated to each class of shares based upon relative net assets on the date income is earned or expenses and realized gains and losses are incurred.

 

Distributions to Shareholders

 

The ProFund declares distributions from net investment income daily and pays the dividends on a monthly basis. Net realized capital gains, if any, will be distributed annually.

 

The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., return of capital, distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.

 

Federal Income Taxes

 

The ProFund intends to continue to qualify each year as a regulated investment company (a “RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. A RIC generally is not subject to federal income tax on income and gains distributed in a timely manner to its shareholders. The ProFund intends to make timely distributions in order to avoid tax liability. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The ProFund has a calendar tax year end.

 

Management of the ProFund has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then, as applicable). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken and the ProFund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

 

3. Investment Valuation Summary

 

The valuation techniques employed by the ProFund, described below, maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs

 

 

 

 

December 31, 2023 :: Notes to Financial Statements :: Government Money Market ProFund :: 13

 

used for valuing the ProFund’s investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

•  Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets

•  Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayments speeds, credit risk, etc.)

•  Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the ProFund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.

 

As of December 31, 2023, the ProFund’s $167,819,415 investment in the Portfolio, which is a registered investment company, is based on Level 2 inputs due to the ProFund’s master-feeder structure. There were no Level 1 or Level 3 investments held by the ProFund during the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

4. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Other Parties

 

ProFund Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”) serves as the investment advisor of the ProFund for an annual fee equal to 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the ProFund, although no fee is payable under the agreement unless the master-feeder relationship with the Portfolio is terminated and the Advisor directly invests the assets of the ProFund. DIMA is the investment advisor to the Portfolio in which the ProFund invests its assets.

 

Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“Citi”) acts as the Trust’s administrator (the “Administrator”). For its services as Administrator, the Trust pays Citi an annual fee based on the Trust’s aggregate average net assets at an annualized tier rate ranging from 0.00375% to 0.05%, and a base fee for certain filings. Administration fees include additional fees paid to Citi by the Trust for additional services provided, including support of the Trust’s compliance program.

 

FIS Investor Services LLC (“FIS”) acts as the Trust’s transfer agent. For these services, the Trust pays FIS a base fee, account and service charges, and reimbursement of certain expenses.

 

ProFunds Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Advisor, serves as the Trust’s distributor. Under a Distribution and Shareholder Services Plan, adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the ProFund may pay financial intermediaries such as broker-dealers, investment advisors and the Distributor up to 1.00%, on an annualized basis, of the average daily net assets attributable to Service Class shares as compensation for service and distribution-related activities and/or shareholder services with respect to Service Class shares.

 

The Advisor, pursuant to a separate Management Services Agreement, performs certain client support services and other administrative services on behalf of the ProFund. For these services, the ProFund pays the Advisor a fee at the annual rate of 0.35% of its average daily net assets for providing feeder fund management and administrative services to the ProFund.

 

The Advisor, pursuant to a separate Services Agreement, performs certain services related to the operation and maintenance of a shareholder trading platform. For these services, the Trust pays the Advisor a monthly base fee as reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Service fees”.

 

The ProFund pays fees to certain intermediaries or financial institutions for record keeping, sub-accounting services, transfer agency and other administrative services as reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Administrative services fees”.

 

Certain Officers and a Trustee of the Trust are affiliated with the Advisor or the Administrator. Except as noted below with respect to the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer, such Officers and Trustee receive no compensation from the ProFund for serving in their respective roles. The Trust, together with affiliated Trusts, pays each Independent Trustee compensation for his services at the annual rate of $325,000 per Trustee, inclusive of all meetings. During the year ended December 31, 2023, actual Trustee compensation was $975,000 in aggregate from the Trust and affiliated trusts. There are certain employees of the Advisor, such as the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer and staff who administer the Trust’s compliance program, in which the ProFund reimburses the Advisor for their related compensation and certain other expenses incurred as reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Compliance services fees”.

 

The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive management services fees, and if necessary, reimburse certain other expenses of the ProFund for the periods below in order to limit the annual operating expenses (exclusive of brokerage costs, interest, taxes, litigation, indemnification, and extraordinary expenses) as follows:

 

   For the Period May 1, 2023
through April 30, 2024
   For the Period May 1, 2022
through April 30, 2023
 
   Investor Class   Service Class   Investor Class   Service Class 
Government Money Market ProFund   0.98%   1.98%   0.98%   1.98%

 

The Advisor has also contractually agreed to waive management services fees, and if necessary, reimburse certain other expenses of the ProFund through April 30, 2024 to the extent necessary to maintain a certain minimum net yield as determined by the Advisor. The Advisor has contractually undertaken to waive its fees and/or reimburse certain expenses to maintain the minimum yield floor limit at 0.02% through April 30, 2024.

 

The Advisor may recoup the management services fees contractually waived or limited and other expenses reimbursed by it within three years from the expense limit period and minimum yield limit period in which they were taken. Such recoupment shall be made monthly, but only to the extent that such recoupment would not cause the net yield of each Class of the ProFund to fall below the highest previously determined minimum yield and such recoupment would not cause annualized operating expenses to exceed the expense limit in effect at the time of the waiver, and the expense limit in effect at the time of the recoupment. Any amounts recouped

5. Investment Risks

 

The Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks. This section discusses certain common principal risks encountered by the Fund. The risks are presented in an order intended to facilitate readability, and their order does not imply that the realization of one risk is likely to occur more frequently than another risk, nor does it imply that the realization of one risk is likely to have a greater adverse impact than another risk.

 

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 ProFund. 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.

 

Cybersecurity Risk

 

With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet and the dependence on computer systems to perform necessary business functions, the ProFund, 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 ProFund’s third party service providers (including, but not limited to, index providers, the administrator and transfer agent) or the issuers of securities and/or financial instruments in which the ProFund invests, have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, the inability of ProFund 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 ProFund’s ability to calculate its NAV, cause the release of private shareholder information or confidential ProFund information, impede trading, cause reputational damage, and subject the ProFund to regulatory fines, reputational damage, 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 ProFund and its shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result. While the ProFund 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 ProFund invests, which could result in material adverse consequences for such issuers, and may cause the ProFund’s investments in such securities to lose value. The Advisor and the Trust do not control the cybersecurity plans and systems put in place by third party service providers, and such third party service providers may have no or limited indemnification obligations to the Advisor or to the ProFund.

 

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, the novel coronavirus (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 as natural disaster and health crises could exacerbate political, social, and economic risks previously mentioned, 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 ProFund 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 ProFund may have difficulty achieving its investment objective which may adversely impact 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 ProFund’s investment advisor and third-party service providers), sectors,

 

 

 

 

December 31, 2023 :: Notes to Financial Statements :: Government Money Market ProFund :: 15

 

industries, markets, securities and commodity exchanges, currencies, interest and inflation rates, credit ratings, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of the ProFund’s investments. These factors can cause substantial market volatility, exchange trading suspensions and closures and can impact the ability of the ProFund to complete redemptions and otherwise affect ProFund performance and ProFund trading in the secondary market. A widespread crisis may also affect the global economy in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen at the current time. How long such events will last and whether they will continue or recur cannot be predicted. Impacts from these events could have significant impact on the ProFund’s performance, resulting in losses to your investment.

 

Risk of Global Economic Shock

 

Widespread disease, including public health disruptions, pandemics and epidemics (for example, COVID-19 including its variants), 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 ProFund and its investments. Additionally, war, military conflicts, sanctions, acts of terrorism, sustained elevated inflation, supply chain issues or other events could have a significant negative impact on global financial markets and economies. 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 the ProFund’s investments, even beyond any direct exposure The ProFund 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. How long such tensions and related events will last cannot be predicted. These tensions and any related events could have significant impact on the ProFund’s performance and the value of an investment in the ProFund.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Government Money Market ProFund (one of the funds constituting ProFunds, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of December 31, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended December 31, 2023 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2023, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended December 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2023 by correspondence with the Accounting Agent for the Master Fund. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

December 31, 2023 :: Board Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement :: Government Money Market ProFund :: 17

 

At a meeting held on September 12-13, 2023, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of ProFunds (the “Trust”) considered the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement between ProFund Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”) and the Trust on behalf of the Government Money Market ProFund (the “Fund”) (the “Advisory Agreement”).

 

The Board did not identify any particular information that was most relevant to its consideration to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement and each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors. The Board received a memorandum from independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees regarding the Board’s fiduciary responsibilities under state and federal law with respect to the Board’s considerations of the renewal or approval of investment advisory agreements. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel throughout the process, including about the legal standards applicable to their review. The Independent Trustees met in executive session to discuss and evaluate the information provided by the Advisor and the independent consultant.

 

The Board noted that the Fund is a feeder fund that invests all its shares in a master fund that is advised by a third party investment adviser. The Trustees noted that the contractual amount of the fee is 0.35% of the Fund’s average annual daily net assets, but that the Advisor does not collect this fee for so long as the Fund is a feeder fund that invests in shares of a master fund. The Board also noted that the Fund pays the Advisor a Management Services fee of 0.35% of the Fund’s average annual daily net assets, all of which the Advisor has waived. The Board noted that the Advisor has contractually agreed to reduce Fund expenses to retain a certain minimum yield as well as to reimburse advisory and management services fees that exceed 0.98% for the Investor Class and 1.98% for the Service Class through April 30, 2024. In response to a request from the Independent Trustees, the Advisor provided information for the Board to consider relating to the continuation of the Advisory Agreement in light of the structure of the Fund.

 

The Board considered that the Advisor has the requisite portfolio management skills to manage the Fund if necessary and considered the reasonableness of the fee should the Advisor begin to provide services under the Advisory Agreement. In assessing the reasonableness of the fee, the Board considered the nature of the services described in the Advisory Agreement, and fees charged by comparable money market funds.

 

In its deliberations, the Board also considered the Advisor’s non-advisory services, including those performed under a separate Management Services Agreement. The Board considered any indirect, or “fall-out,” benefits that the Advisor or its affiliates derived from their relationship to the Fund but concluded that such benefits were relatively insignificant. The Board considered that ProFund Distributors, Inc. (“PDI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Advisor, earns fees from the Fund for providing services under a Distribution and Shareholder Services Plan.

 

In addition to the information provided and discussions that occurred at the meeting at which the Board took action regarding the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, the Board regularly considers matters bearing on the Fund and its investment advisory, administration and distribution arrangements including the Fund’s investment results and performance data, at its regular meetings throughout the year. The Board’s conclusions may take into account their consideration of the relevant arrangements during the course of the year and in prior years.

 

Based on, but not limited to, the above considerations and determinations, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, determined that the Advisory Agreement for the Fund is fair and reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services to be performed, the fee rates to be paid, the Advisor’s expenses, the feeder fund structure of the Fund, and such other matters as the Board considered relevant in the exercise of its business judgement. Accordingly, the Board concluded that the continuation of the Advisory Agreement and the continued investment by the Fund into the master portfolio was in the best interests of the shareholders of the Fund. On this basis, the Board unanimously voted in favor of the renewal of the Advisory Agreement.

Fair Value Measurements

 

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio's investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Securities held by the Portfolio are reflected as Level 2 because the securities are valued at amortized cost (which approximates fair value) and, accordingly, the inputs used to determine value are not quoted prices in an active market.

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of December 31, 2023 in valuing the Portfolio's investments. For information on the Portfolio's policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note A in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

28 :: Government Cash Management Portfolio :: Notes to Financial Statements :: December 31, 2023

 

A. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

 

Government Cash Management Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company organized as a New York trust.

 

The Portfolio is a master fund; A master/feeder fund structure is one in which a fund (a "feeder fund"), instead of investing directly in a portfolio of securities, invests most or all of its investment assets in a separate registered investment company (the "master fund") with substantially the same investment objective and policies as the feeder fund. Such a structure permits the pooling of assets of two or more feeder funds, preserving separate identities or distribution channels at the feeder fund level. The Portfolio may have several feeder funds, including affiliated DWS feeder funds and unaffiliated feeder funds, with a significant ownership percentage of the Portfolio's net assets. Investment activities of these feeder funds could have a material impact on the Portfolio. As of December 31, 2023, DWS Government Money Market Series owned approximately 99.6% of the Portfolio.

 

The Portfolio's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") which require the use of management estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Portfolio qualifies as an investment company under Topic 946 of Accounting Standards Codification of U.S. GAAP. The policies described below are followed consistently by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.

 

Security Valuation

 

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio's investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

 

The Portfolio values all securities utilizing the amortized cost method permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act and certain conditions therein. Under this method, which does not take into account unrealized capital gains or losses on securities, an instrument is initially valued at its cost and thereafter assumes a constant accretion/amortization rate to maturity of any discount or premium. Securities held by the Portfolio are reflected as Level 2 because the securities are valued at amortized cost (which approximates fair value) and, accordingly, the inputs used to determine value are not quoted prices in an active market.

 

Repurchase Agreements

 

The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement, with certain banks and broker/dealers whereby the Portfolio, through its custodian or a sub-custodian bank, receives delivery of the underlying securities, the amount of which at the time of purchase and each subsequent business day is required to be maintained at such a level that the value is equal to at least the principal amount of the repurchase price plus accrued interest. The custodian bank or another designated sub-custodian bank holds the collateral in a separate account until the agreement matures. If the value of the securities falls below the principal amount of the repurchase agreement plus accrued interest, the financial institution deposits additional collateral by the following business day. If the financial institution either fails to deposit the required additional collateral or fails to repurchase the securities as agreed, the Portfolio has the right to sell the securities and recover any resulting loss from the financial institution. If the financial institution enters into bankruptcy, the Portfolio's claims on the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

 

As of December 31, 2023, the Portfolio held repurchase agreements with a gross value of $13,961,675,000. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at period end. The detail of the related collateral is included in the footnotes following the Portfolio's Investment Portfolio.

 

Federal Income Taxes

 

The Portfolio is considered a Partnership under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is necessary.

 

It is intended that the Portfolio's assets, income and distributions will be managed in such a way that an investor in the Portfolio will be able to satisfy the requirements of Subchapter M of the Code, assuming that the investor invested all of its assets in the Portfolio.

 

At December 31, 2023, Government Cash Management Portfolio had an aggregate cost of investments for federal income tax purposes of $39,768,220,981.

 

The Portfolio has reviewed the tax positions for the open tax years as of December 31, 2023 and has determined that no provision for income tax and/or uncertain tax positions is required in the Portfolio's financial statements. The Portfolio's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain open subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

 

Contingencies

 

In the normal course of business, the Portfolio may enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Portfolio's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future

claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet been made. However, based on experience, the Portfolio expects the risk of loss to be remote.

 

Other

 

Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis. All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted for both tax and financial reporting purposes.

 

The Portfolio makes an allocation of its net investment income and realized gains and losses from securities transactions to its investors in proportion to their investment in the Portfolio.

 

B. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates

 

Management Agreement

 

Under the Investment Management Agreement with DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. ("DIMA" or the "Advisor"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of DWS Group GmbH & Co. KGaA ("DWS Group"), the Advisor determines the securities, instruments and other contracts relating to investments to be purchased, sold or entered into by the Portfolio.

 

Under the Investment Management Agreement with the Advisor, the Portfolio pays a monthly management fee based on its average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly, at the following annual rates:

 

First $3.0 billion of the Portfolio's average daily net assets   .1200%
Next $4.5 billion of such net assets   .1025%
Over $7.5 billion of such net assets   .0900%

 

Accordingly, for the year ended December 31, 2023, the fee pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement was equivalent to an annual rate (exclusive of any applicable waivers/reimbursements) of 0.095% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets.

 

The Advisor agreed to voluntarily waive additional expenses. This voluntary waiver may be changed or terminated at any time without notice. Under these arrangements, the Advisor waived certain expenses of the Portfolio.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2023, fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed are $15,133,377.

 

Administration Fee

 

Pursuant to an Administrative Services Agreement, DIMA provides most administrative services to the Portfolio. For all services provided under the Administrative Services Agreement, the Portfolio paid the Advisor an annual fee ("Administration Fee") of 0.03% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Administration Fee was $9,726,055, of which $1,033,924 is unpaid.

 

Other Service Fees

 

Under an agreement with the Portfolio, DIMA is compensated for providing regulatory filing services to the Portfolio. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the amount charged to the Portfolio by DIMA included in the Statement of Operations under "Reports to shareholders" aggregated $900, of which $240 is unpaid.

 

Trustees' Fees and Expenses

 

The Portfolio paid retainer fees to each Trustee not affiliated with the Advisor, plus specified amounts to the Board Chairperson and to each committee Chairperson.

 

C. Line of Credit

 

The Portfolio and other affiliated funds (the "Participants") share in a $375 million revolving credit facility provided by a syndication of banks. The Portfolio may borrow for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. The Participants are charged an annual commitment fee, which is allocated based on net assets, among each of the Participants. Interest is calculated at a daily fluctuating rate per annum equal to the sum of 0.10% plus the higher of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and the Overnight Bank Funding Rate, plus 1.25%. The Portfolio may borrow up to a maximum of 33 percent of its net assets under the agreement. The Portfolio had no outstanding loans at December 31, 2023.

 

D. Money Market Fund Investments and Yield

 

Rising interest rates could cause the value of the Portfolio'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 Portfolio. Increased redemptions from the Portfolio may force the Portfolio to sell investments at a time when it is not advantageous to do so, which could result in losses. Recently, the U.S. Federal Reserve has raised interest rates in response to increased inflation. As a result, fixed-income and related markets may experience heightened levels of interest rate volatility and liquidity risk. A sharp rise in interest rates could cause the value of the Portfolio's investments to decline and impair the Portfolio's ability to maintain a stable $1.00 share price. Conversely, any decline in interest rates is likely to cause the Portfolio's yield to decline, and during periods of unusually low or negative interest rates, the Portfolio's yield may approach or fall below zero. A low or negative interest rate environment may prevent the Portfolio from providing a positive yield or paying fund expenses out of current income and, at times, could impair the Portfolio'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

 

 

 

 

30 :: Government Cash Management Portfolio :: Notes to Financial Statements :: December 31, 2023

 

demand for credit, government and/or central bank monetary policy and action, inflation rates, and other factors. Recent and potential future changes in monetary policy made by central banks or governments are likely to affect the level of interest rates. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on markets, may result in heightened market volatility and potential illiquidity and may detract from Portfolio performance to the extent the Portfolio 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 Portfolio.

 

 

 

 

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm :: Government Cash Management Portfolio :: 31

 

To the Board of Trustees and Holders of Beneficial Interest in Government Cash Management Portfolio:

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Government Cash Management Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), including the investment portfolio, as of December 31, 2023, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Portfolio at December 31, 2023, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Portfolio's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolio's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolio in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Portfolio is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Portfolio's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Portfolio's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers, and others; when replies were not received from brokers and others, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

 

 

We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies in the DWS family of funds since at least 1979, but we are unable to determine the specific year.

Message from the Chairman

 

Dear Shareholder:

 

Economic and market sentiments were generally more positive during the reporting period, though concern about inflation, the potential for recession, and other market forces continued to linger. ProFunds is committed to helping you, our investors, meet this challenging environment by providing an innovative array of products and services designed to help you meet your objectives under a range of conditions. Following is the ProFunds VP Annual Report to Shareholders for the 12 months ending December 31, 2023.

 

Interest Rates Rise and Stay High Despite Moderating Inflation

 

Combating elevated inflation and avoiding a recession dominated economic policymaking in 2023. The year began with the central bankers of the Federal Reserve on a campaign to bring down elevated inflation by raising short-term interest rates, which were increased to a target range of between 5.25% and 5.5% at the Fed's July meeting. Rates have remained unchanged since then, and Chairman Powell has communicated that the Fed will "let the data reveal the appropriate path" before it decides whether to begin lowering rates. Inflation moderated throughout the year (though not in a straight line), with the Consumer Price Index declining to just over 3% by the fall.

 

The picture was similar outside the United States. The European Central Bank (ECB) and Bank of England raised interest rates through the summer but have since left them on hold. ECB President Christine Lagarde has commented that rates will stay high for "as long as necessary" to beat back inflation. The Bank of Japan, which continued to hold its short-term rate at -0.1%, remains the lone exception in the developed world.

 

A Tale of Two Markets: Volatility, Then Recovery

 

In terms of market performance, 2023 can be roughly divided into two segments. For the first nine months of the year, most U.S. asset classes and financial markets experienced volatility, as investors tried to navigate elevated rates, high bond yields, uncertainty regarding the forward path of inflation, and a resilient U.S. labor market. Through the end of the year, however, many markets rallied, netting positive returns for the full period. In the United States, gains were particularly strong among larger companies and technology firms. The Dow Jones Industrial Average® gained 16.2%, the S&P 500® rose 26.3%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq-100 Index® gained 55.1%. Mid- and small-cap firms saw smaller but still substantial gains of their own, with the S&P MidCap 400® increasing by 16.4% and the small-cap Russell 2000 Index® rising 16.9%. Across the major sectors, technology and communication services were the best performers by far, posting gains of 56.1% and 53.0%, respectively, with consumer discretionary turning in strong results as well (up 39.8%). Of the sectors that fell, the weakest performer was utilities, declining 7.1%.

 

Most international equity markets also posted positive results for the period, though not as strong as U.S. domestic

markets. The MSCI EAFE Index®, which tracks developed markets outside North America, rose 18.2%, while the MSCI Europe Index® gained 19.9%. The strongest non-U.S. performer in the developed world was Japan, with the Nikkei ending the period up 21.3%. The S&P Emerging 50 ADR Index (USD) gained 17.2%, with Latin America in particular posting strong results: The S&P Latin America 35 ADR Index (USD) gained 31.6%. The main outlier amid this global rally was China. The S&P China Select ADR Index (USD) rose just 3.1% on the year.

 

Bond markets generated positive returns, as moderating inflation and the pause in the Fed's interest rate hikes eased some of the pressures on bonds. The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Total Return Index® gained 5.5%. Returns were marginally higher on the short end of the curve: The S&P U.S. Treasury Bond Current 5-Year Total Return Index® rose 4.1%, while its 30-year counterpart gained just 2.4%. The iBoxx $ Liquid High Yield Index® rose 12.9%, and the iBoxx $ Liquid Investment Grade Index® gained 9.5%.

 

U.S. Economy Shows Continued Resilience

 

Despite concerns about the economic impact of Fed rate hikes, a feared recession never materialized during the period, and the potential for a much-hoped-for "soft landing" grew as the year progressed. While U.S. real GDP growth slowed slightly in the second quarter of 2023, third-quarter growth came in strong at 4.9%. The U.S. unemployment rate ticked up slightly through the fall, but remains low at 3.7%. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index declined just slightly, falling 2.7%.

 

ProFunds VP Trust Results Mirror Markets

 

ProFunds VP index-based mutual funds offer many advantages, such as diverse market exposures, a transparent investment process, efficient fund management, and high daily correlation to their indexes.

Management Discussion of Fund Performance

 

 

 

4 :: Management Discussion of Fund Performance

 

Investment Strategies and Techniques:

 

Each ProFund VP (each, a "Fund" and, collectively, the "Funds") is a series of ProFunds (the "Trust"). Each Fund (except the Classic ProFunds VP1, the Sector ProFunds VP1, ProFund VP Falling U.S. Dollar and ProFund VP Government Money Market) is a "geared" fund (the "Geared Funds") 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 a benchmark for a single day, not for any other period.

 

Each of the Classic ProFunds VP, the Sector ProFunds VP and ProFund VP Falling U.S. Dollar seek investments results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the performance of a benchmark. ProFund VP Government Money Market seeks a high level of current income consistent with liquidity and preservation of capital.

 

Each Geared Fund seeks investment results for a single day only, as measured from the time the Geared Fund calculates its net asset value ("NAV") to the time of the Geared Fund's next NAV calculation, and not for longer periods. The return for a period longer than a single day will be the result of each day's returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ from the stated leveraged, inverse, or inverse leveraged multiple times the return of the benchmark for that period. During periods of higher market volatility, the volatility of a Geared Fund's benchmark may affect the return as much as or more than the return of the benchmark.

 

ProFund Advisors LLC (the "Advisor"), uses a passive approach in seeking to achieve the investment objective of each Fund. Using this approach, the Advisor determines the type, quantity and mix of investment positions that a Fund should hold to approximate the daily performance of its benchmark.

 

The Advisor does not invest the assets of the Funds in securities or financial instruments based on its view of the investment merit of a particular security, instrument, or company nor does it conduct conventional research or analysis, forecast market movements, trends or market conditions, or take defensive positions in managing Fund assets.

 

The Funds, other than certain Classic ProFunds VP and certain Sector ProFunds VP, make significant use of investment techniques that may be considered aggressive, including the use of swap agreements, futures contracts, forward contracts, and similar instruments ("derivatives"). These investment techniques may be considered aggressive and Funds using these techniques are exposed to risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities, including one or more of the following: counterparty risk (i.e., the risk that a counterparty is unable or unwilling to make timely payments) on the amount the Fund expects to receive from a derivatives counterparty, liquidity risk (i.e., the ability of a Fund to acquire or dispose of certain holdings quickly or at prices that represent true market value in the judgment of the Advisor) and increased correlation risk (i.e., the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with its benchmark). If a counterparty becomes bankrupt, or otherwise fails to perform its obligations, the value of an investment in the Fund may decline. With respect to swaps and forward contracts, the Funds have sought to mitigate these risks by generally requiring derivatives counterparties to post collateral for the benefit of each Fund, marked to market daily, in an amount approximately equal to the amount the counterparty owes the Fund, subject to certain minimum thresholds. The Funds typically only enter into derivatives with counterparties that are major, global financial institutions. Any costs associated with using derivatives may also have the effect of lowering the Fund's return.

 

Factors that Materially Affected the Performance of Each Fund during the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 20232:

 

Primary factors affecting Fund performance, before fees and expenses, include the following: the total return of the securities and derivatives held by the Funds, including the performance of the reference assets to which any derivatives are linked, financing rates paid or earned by the Fund (including those included in the total return of derivatives contracts); the types of derivative contracts used by the Funds and their correlation to the relevant benchmark or asset; fees, expenses, and transaction costs; other miscellaneous factors; and in the case of the Geared Funds, the volatility of the Fund's benchmark (and its impact on compounding).

 

Benchmark Performance: The performance of each Fund's benchmark and, in turn, the factors and market conditions affecting that benchmark are generally the principal factors driving Fund performance.3 

 

Compounding of Daily Returns and Volatility: Each Geared Fund seeks to provide a multiple (i.e., 1.25x or 2x), the inverse (i.e.,-1x) or an inverse multiple (i.e., -1.25x or -2x) of its benchmark return for a single day only. For longer periods, performance may be greater than or less than the one-day multiple times the benchmark return. This is due to the effects of compounding, which exists in all investments, but has a more significant impact on Geared Funds. In general, during periods of higher benchmark volatility, compounding will cause Fund Performance for periods longer than a single day to be more or less than the multiple of the return of the benchmark. This effect becomes more pronounced as volatility increases. Conversely, in periods of lower benchmark volatility (particularly when combined with large higher benchmark returns), Fund returns over longer periods can be higher than the multiple of the return of the benchmark. Actual results for a particular period, before fees and expenses, are also dependent on the following factors: a) period of time; b) financing rates associated with the use of derivatives;

 

 

1 ProFunds VP included as Classic ProFunds VP and Sector ProFunds VP are listed in Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
2 Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
3 Unlike the Funds, indexes that may serve as benchmarks for the Funds do not actually hold a portfolio of securities and/or financial instruments. Indexes do not incur fees, expenses and transaction costs. Fees, expenses and transaction costs incurred by the Funds negatively impact the performance of the Funds relative to their benchmark. Performance for each Fund will generally differ from the performance of the Fund's benchmark index.

c) other Fund expenses; d) interest and dividends paid with respect to the securities in the benchmark; e) the benchmark's volatility; and f) the benchmark's performance. Longer holding periods, higher benchmark volatility, inverse exposure and/or greater leverage each exacerbates the impact of compounding on a Fund's performance. During periods of higher benchmark volatility, the volatility of a benchmark may affect a Fund's return as much as or more than the return of its benchmark.

 

Daily volatility for the U.S. equity markets increased from a year ago. The annual volatility for the S&P 500 for the year ended December 31, 2023, was 13.09%, which was lower than the prior year's volatility of 24.19%. The volatility of each Geared Fund benchmark is shown below.

Financing Rates Associated with Swap Agreements and Forward Contracts: The performance of Funds that use derivatives was impacted by the related financing costs. Financial instruments such as futures contracts carry implied financing costs. Forward and swap financing rates are negotiated between the Funds and their counterparties, and are set at the Fed Funds rate ("FEDL01") plus or minus a negotiated spread. The Fed Funds rate appreciated from 4.50% to 5.50% during the fiscal year. Each Fund with long exposure via derivatives was generally negatively affected by financing rates. Conversely, most Funds with short/inverse derivative exposure generally benefited from financing rates.

 

Stock Dividends and Bond Yields: The performance of Funds that provide long or leveraged exposure was positively impacted by capturing the dividend or income yield of the underlying assets to which they have exposure. The performance of Funds that provide an inverse or leveraged inverse exposure was negatively impacted by virtue of effectively having to pay out the dividend or income yield (or a multiple thereof, as applicable) associated with the assets to which they have short exposure.

 

Fees, Expenses and Transaction Costs: Fees and expenses are listed in the financial statements of each Fund, and may generally be higher and thus have a more negative impact on performance than the fees and expenses of many traditional index-based funds. For Geared Funds, daily repositioning of each Fund's portfolio to maintain exposure consistent with its investment objective, high levels of shareholder purchase and redemption activity, and use of leverage may lead to commensurate increases in portfolio transactions and transaction costs which negatively impact the daily NAV of each Fund. Transaction costs are not reflected in the Funds' expense ratio. Transaction costs are generally higher for Geared Funds, Funds whose benchmarks are more volatile than other

funds' benchmarks, and Funds that hold or have exposure to assets that are comparatively less liquid than those held by other funds.

 

Miscellaneous Factors: Each Fund holds a mix of securities and/or derivatives that is designed to provide returns that correspond to the performance of its investment objective. Certain Funds may obtain exposure to only a representative sample of the securities of their benchmark and may not have investment exposure to all securities of the benchmark or may have weightings that are different from that of its benchmark. Certain Funds may also obtain exposure to securities not contained in the relevant benchmark or in financial instruments, with the intent of obtaining exposure with aggregate characteristics similar to those of a multiple of the benchmark.

 

In addition, certain Funds invested in swap agreements based on exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") that are designed to track the performance of the Fund's benchmark. Because the closing price of an ETF may not perfectly track the performance of its benchmark, there are deviations between the return of a swap whose reference asset is an ETF and the return of a swap based directly on the Fund's benchmark. Thus, the performance of a Fund investing significantly in swap agreements based on an ETF had less correlation with its benchmark than a Fund investing in swap agreements based directly on the Fund's benchmark.

 

 

 

Management Discussion of Fund Performance :: ProFund Access VP High Yield :: 7

 

The 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. However, the Fund does not seek to match the daily returns of a specific benchmark. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund had a total return of 10.43%. For the same period, the Markit iBoxx $ Liquid High Yield Index, a widely used measure of high yield market performance, had a total return of 12.89%1. The total return for the 5-year U.S. Treasury Note was 4.07%2.

 

The Fund is designed to maintain exposure to the high yield market, regardless of market conditions. This means the Fund does not adopt defensive positions in anticipation of an adverse market climate. The Fund seeks to achieve its high yield exposure primarily through credit default swaps (CDS) and 5-year treasury exposure but may also invest in high yield debt instruments (commonly referred to as junk bonds), other debt, money market instruments, total return swap agreements and futures contracts.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund invested in credit default swap agreements and futures contracts in addition to investing directly in high yield bonds. These derivatives generally tracked the performance of their underlying benchmark and were negatively impacted by financing costs associated with their use. The Fund entered into credit default swap agreements that were centrally cleared. In a centrally cleared swap agreement, the clearing organization takes on the credit risk of all parties involved in the trade, and in effect, guarantees each party's obligation under the contract. As a result, each party involved in a centrally cleared contract only faces the clearing organization. There can be no assurance, however, that the clearing organization, or its members, will satisfy its obligations to the Fund.

8 :: ProFund VP Asia 30 :: Management Discussion of Fund Performance

 

ProFund VP Asia 30 (the "Fund") seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the performance of the ProFunds Asia 30 Index® (the "Index"). For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund had a price return of 4.32%. For the same period, the Index had a total return of 4.17%1 and a volatility of 26.86%. For the year, the Fund achieved an average daily statistical correlation of over 0.99 to the daily performance of the Index.2

 

The Fund takes positions in financial instruments that, in combination, should have similar return characteristics as the return of the Index. The Index, created by ProFund Advisors, is composed of 30 companies whose principal offices are located in the Asia/Pacific region, excluding Japan, and whose securities are traded on U.S. exchanges or on Nasdaq as depositary receipts or ordinary shares and meet certain liquidity requirements. The component companies in the Index are the 30 most liquid companies based upon their U.S. dollar-traded volume. Their relative weights are determined using a modified market capitalization method. The Index is reconstituted annually. The Index is expressed in U.S. dollar terms and as such should generally reflect the relative movement of the U.S. dollar against the basket of foreign currencies represented by the constituent companies in the Index.

Management Discussion of Fund Performance :: ProFund VP Banks :: 9

 

ProFund VP Banks (the "Fund") seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the performance of the S&P Banks Select Industry Index1 (the "Index"). For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund had a total return of 10.39%. For the same period, the Index had a total return of 5.52%2 and a volatility of 35.92%. For the year, the Fund achieved an average daily statistical correlation of over 0.99 to the daily performance of the Index.3

 

The Fund takes positions in financial instruments that, in combination, should have similar return characteristics as the return of the Index. The Index represents the banks segment of the S&P Total Market Index, which comprises the following sub-industries: asset management & custody banks, diversified banks, regional banks, diversified financial services and commercial & residential mortgage finance.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund invested in swap agreements in addition to investing directly in stocks in order to gain exposure to the Index. These derivatives generally tracked the performance of their underlying benchmark and were negatively impacted by financing costs associated with their use. The Fund entered into swap agreements with counterparties that the Fund's advisor determined to be major, global financial institutions. If a counterparty becomes insolvent or otherwise fails to perform on its obligations, the value of investments in the Fund may decline. The Fund has sought to mitigate this risk by generally requiring counterparties to post collateral for the benefit of the Fund, marked to market daily, in an amount approximately equal to the amount the counterparty owed to the Fund, subject to certain minimum thresholds.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Return calculations assume the reinvestment of distributions and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. The investment return and net asset value ("NAV") will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. The performance above reflects any fee reductions during the applicable periods. If such fee reductions had not occurred, the quoted performance would be lower.

10 :: ProFund VP Bear :: Management Discussion of Fund Performance

 

ProFund VP Bear (the "Fund") seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the return of the S&P 500® (the "Index") for a single day, not for any other period. A "single day" is measured from the time the Fund calculates its net asset value ("NAV") to the time of the Fund's next NAV calculation. The return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result of its return for each day compounded over the period. The Fund's returns for periods longer than a single day will very likely differ in amount, and possibly even direction from the Fund's stated multiple (-1x) times the return of the Fund's Index for the same period. For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money if the Index's performance is flat, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if the level of the index falls. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund had a total return of -15.27%. For the same period, the Index had a total return of 26.29%1 and a volatility of 13.09%. For the year, the Fund achieved an average daily statistical correlation of over 0.99 to the inverse of the daily performance of the Index.2

 

The Fund takes positions in financial instruments that, in combination, should have similar daily return characteristics as the inverse of the daily return of the Index. The Index is a measure of large-cap U.S. stock market performance. It is a float-adjusted, market capitalization-weighted index of 500 U.S. operating companies and real estate investment trusts selected through a process that factors in criteria such as liquidity, price, market capitalization, and financial viability. Reconstitution occurs both on a quarterly and ongoing basis.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund invested in swap agreements and futures contracts as a substitute for shorting stocks in order to gain inverse exposure to the Index. These derivatives generally tracked the performance of their underlying benchmark and benefited from financing costs associated with their use. The Fund entered into swap agreements with counterparties that the Fund's advisor determined to be major, global financial institutions. If a counterparty becomes insolvent or otherwise fails to perform on its obligations, the value of investments in the Fund may decline. The Fund has sought to mitigate this risk by generally requiring counterparties to post collateral for the benefit of the Fund, marked to market daily, in an amount approximately equal to the amount the counterparty owed to the Fund, subject to certain minimum thresholds.

Management Discussion of Fund Performance :: ProFund VP Consumer Staples :: 15

 

ProFund VP Consumer Staples (the "Fund") (formerly known as ProFunds VP Consumer Goods) seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the performance of the S&P Consumer Staples Select Sector Index1 (the "Index"). For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund had a total return of 3.92%. For the same period, the Index had a return of -0.79%2 and a volatility of 11.30%. For the year, the Fund achieved an average daily statistical correlation of over 0.99 to the daily performance of the Index.3

 

The Fund takes positions in financial instruments that, in combination, should have similar return characteristics as the return of the Index. The Index represents the consumer staples sector of the S&P 500®. The index includes equity securities of companies from the following industries: consumer staples distribution & retail; beverages; food products; tobacco; household products; and personal care products.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund invested in swap agreements in addition to investing directly in stocks in order to gain exposure to the Index. These derivatives generally tracked the performance of their underlying benchmark and were negatively impacted by financing costs associated with their use. The Fund entered into swap agreements with counterparties that the Fund's advisor determined to be major, global financial institutions. If a counterparty becomes insolvent or otherwise fails to perform on its obligations, the value of investments in the Fund may decline. The Fund has sought to mitigate this risk by generally requiring counterparties to post collateral for the benefit of the Fund, marked to market daily, in an amount approximately equal to the amount the counterparty owed to the Fund, subject to certain minimum thresholds.

16 :: ProFund VP Dow 30 :: Management Discussion of Fund Performance

 

ProFund VP Dow 30 (the "Fund") seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average® (the "Index"). For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund had a total return of 13.54%. For the same period, the Index had a total return of 16.18%1 and a volatility of 11.39%. For the year, the Fund achieved an average daily statistical correlation of 0.99 to the daily performance of the Index.2

 

The Fund takes positions in financial instruments that, in combination, should have similar return characteristics as the return of the Index. The Index is a price-weighted index. The Index includes 30 large-cap, "blue-chip" U.S. stocks, excluding utility and transportation companies. Components are selected through a discretionary process with no pre-determined criteria except that components should be established U.S. companies that are leaders in their industries, have an excellent reputation, demonstrate sustained growth, are of interest to a large number of investors, and accurately represents the sectors covered by the average. The Index is not limited to traditionally defined industrial stocks. Instead, the Index serves as a measure of the entire U.S. market, covering such diverse industries as financial services, technology, retail, entertainment, and consumer goods. Composition changes are rare, and generally occur only after corporate acquisitions or other dramatic shifts in a component's core business. When such an event necessitates that one component be replaced, the entire Index is reviewed.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund invested in swap agreements as a substitute for investing directly in stocks in order to gain exposure to the Index. These derivatives generally tracked the performance of their underlying benchmark and were negatively impacted by financing costs associated with their use. The Fund entered into swap agreements with counterparties that the Fund's advisor determined to be major, global financial institutions. If a counterparty becomes insolvent or otherwise fails to perform on its obligations, the value of investments in the Fund may decline. The Fund has sought to mitigate this risk by generally requiring counterparties to post collateral for the benefit of the Fund, marked to market daily, in an amount approximately equal to the amount the counterparty owed to the Fund, subject to certain minimum thresholds.

As of December 31, 2023, the Index consists of companies from the following emerging market countries: Brazil, Chile, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, South Africa, South Korea and Taiwan. The Index is expressed in U.S. dollar terms and as such should generally reflect the relative movement of the U.S. dollar against the basket of foreign currencies represented by the constituent companies in the Index.

ProFund VP Falling U.S. Dollar (the “Fund”) seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the return of the basket of non-U.S. currencies included in the U.S. Dollar Index (the “Index”). The Index measures the performance of the U.S. dollar against a basket of six major world currencies (the “Benchmark”). For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund had a total return of 3.25%. For the same period, the Index had a price return of -2.12%1 and a volatility of 6.78%. For the year, the Fund achieved an average daily statistical correlation of over 0.99 to the inverse of the daily performance of the Index.2

The currencies and their weightings are: Euro 57%; Japanese yen 14%; British pound 12%; Canadian dollar 9%; Swedish krona 4% and Swiss franc 4%. 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. The Fund does not normally provide investment returns that match the inverse of the Index.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund invested in forward currency contracts to gain exposure to the Benchmark. These derivatives generally tracked the performance of their underlying benchmark. The Fund entered into forward currency contracts with counterparties that the Fund’s advisor determined to be major, global financial institutions. If a counterparty becomes insolvent or otherwise fails to perform on its obligations, the value of investments in the Fund may decline. The Fund has sought to mitigate this risk by generally requiring counterparties to post collateral for the benefit of the Fund, marked to market daily, in an amount approximately equal to the amount the counterparty owed to the Fund, subject to certain minimum thresholds.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Return calculations assume the reinvestment of distributions and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. The investment return and net asset value (“NAV”) will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. The performance above reflects any fee reductions during the applicable periods. If such fee reductions had not occurred, the quoted performance would be lower. Performance numbers are net of all Fund fees and expenses but do not include any insurance, sales, or administrative charges of variable annuity or life insurance contracts. If these charges were included, the returns would be lower. To obtain performance current to the most recent month-end, please call toll-free 888-776-3637.

Management Discussion of Fund Performance :: ProFund VP International :: 25

 

ProFund VP International (the “Fund”) seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the performance of the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia and Far East (“MSCI EAFE”) Index® (the “Index”). Since the foreign markets are not open when this Fund values its shares, it determines its success in meeting this investment objective by comparing its daily return on a given day with the daily performance of related futures contracts traded in the United States. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund had a total return of 15.55%. For the same period, the Index had a total return of 18.24%1 and a volatility of 12.50%. For the year, the Fund achieved an average daily statistical correlation of over 0.99 to that of the daily performance of the U.S.-traded MSCI EAFE futures contract.2

 

The Fund takes positions in financial instruments that, in combination, should have similar return characteristics as the return of the Index. The Index includes 85% of free-float adjusted, market capitalization in each industry group in developed market countries, excluding the U.S. and Canada. As of December 31, 2023, the Index has constituent companies from the following 21 developed market 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 levels and the price of the related futures contracts are expressed in U.S. dollar terms and as such they should generally reflect the relative movement of the U.S. dollar against the basket of foreign currencies represented by the constituent companies in the Index.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund invested in swap agreements as a substitute for investing directly in stocks in order to gain exposure to the Index. These derivatives generally tracked the performance of their underlying benchmark and were negatively impacted by financing costs associated with their use. The Fund entered into swap agreements with counterparties that the Fund’s advisor determined to be major, global financial institutions. If a counterparty becomes insolvent or otherwise fails to perform on its obligations, the value of investments in the Fund may decline. The Fund has sought to mitigate this risk by generally requiring counterparties to post collateral for the benefit of the Fund, marked to market daily, in an amount approximately equal to the amount the counterparty owed to the Fund, subject to certain minimum thresholds.

The Index is composed of two sub-groups: Internet Commerce, which includes companies that derive the majority of their revenues from providing goods and/or services through an open network, such as a web site, and Internet Services, which includes companies that derive the majority of their revenues from providing access to the Internet or providing services to people using the Internet.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund invested in swap agreements in addition to investing directly in stocks in order to gain exposure to the Index. These derivatives generally tracked the performance of their underlying benchmark and were negatively impacted by financing costs associated with their use. The Fund entered into swap agreements with counterparties that the Fund’s advisor determined to be major, global financial institutions. If a counterparty becomes insolvent or otherwise fails to perform on its obligations, the value of investments in the Fund may decline. The Fund has sought to mitigate this risk by generally requiring counterparties to post collateral for the benefit of the Fund, marked to market daily, in an amount approximately equal to the amount the counterparty owed to the Fund, subject to certain minimum thresholds.

Management Discussion of Fund Performance :: ProFund VP Japan :: 27

 

ProFund VP Japan (the “Fund”) seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the performance of the Nikkei 225 Stock Average (the “Index”). Since the Japanese markets are not open when this Fund values its shares, it determines its success in meeting this investment objective by comparing its daily return on a given day with the daily performance of related, dollar-denominated futures contracts traded in the United States. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund had a total return of 34.51%. For the same period, the Index had a total return of 22.56%1, as measured in unhedged U.S. dollar terms, or 30.96%1 in local (Japanese yen) terms and a volatility of 15.99%. The U.S. dollar-denominated Nikkei futures contracts held in the Fund are not directly impacted by the dollar/yen exchange rate, which may cause the Fund to over or underperform versus the performance of the Index measured in unhedged U.S. dollar terms, depending upon whether the U.S. dollar rises or falls in value versus the yen. During the year, the Fund was generally not exposed to fluctuations in the dollar/yen exchange rate. For the year, the Fund achieved an average daily statistical correlation of over 0.99 to the daily performance of the U.S.-traded U.S. dollar-denominated futures contract on the Index.2

 

The Fund takes positions in financial instruments that, in combination, should have similar return characteristics as the return of the Index. The Index is a modified price-weighted index of the 225 most actively traded and liquid Japanese stocks traded in the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund invested in swap agreements and futures contracts as a substitute for investing directly in stocks in order to gain exposure to the Index. These derivatives generally tracked the performance of their underlying benchmark and were negatively impacted by financing costs associated with their use. The Fund entered into swap agreements with counterparties that the Fund’s advisor determined to be major, global financial institutions. If a counterparty becomes insolvent or otherwise fails to perform on its obligations, the value of the investments in the Fund may decline. The Fund has sought to mitigate this risk by generally requiring counterparties to post collateral for the benefit of the Fund, marked market daily, in an amount approximately equal to the amount the counterparty owed to the Fund, subject to certain minimum thresholds.

ProFund VP Large-Cap Growth (the “Fund”) seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the performance of the S&P 500® Growth Index (the “Index”). For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund had a total return of 27.86%. For the same period, the Index had a total return of 30.03%1 and a volatility of 13.47%.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund had a total return of 12.38%. For the same period, the Index had a total return of 12.54%2 and a volatility of 16.78%. For the year, the Fund achieved an average daily statistical correlation of over 0.99 to the daily performance of the Index.3

1 As of the close of business on March 17, 2023, the Fund’s underlying benchmark index changed from the Dow Jones U.S. Basic MaterialsSM Index to the S&P Materials Select Sector Index. The Fund’s change in benchmark also resulted in the renaming of the Fund from ProFund VP Basic Materials to ProFund VP Materials. The advisor believes that the benchmark change will align the Fund with a leading S&P sector index that utilizes the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS), enabling investors to more effectively integrate the Fund into their portfolios.

Management Discussion of Fund Performance :: ProFund VP Mid-Cap :: 31

 

ProFund VP Mid-Cap (the “Fund”) seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the performance of the S&P MidCap 400® (the “Index”). For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund had a total return of 13.83%. For the same period, the Index had a total return of 16.44%1 and a volatility of 17.47%. For the year, the Fund achieved an average daily statistical correlation of over 0.99 to the daily performance of the Index.2

 

The Fund takes positions in financial instruments that, in combination, should have similar return characteristics as the return of the Index. The Index is a measure of mid-size company U.S. stock market performance. It is a float-adjusted, market capitalization-weighted index of 400 U.S. operating companies and real estate investment trusts selected through a process that factors in criteria such as liquidity, price, market capitalization, and financial viability. Reconstitution occurs both on a quarterly and ongoing basis.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund invested in swap agreements and futures contracts as a substitute for investing directly in stocks in order to gain exposure to the Index. These derivatives generally tracked the performance of their underlying benchmark and were negatively impacted by financing costs associated with their use. The Fund entered into swap agreements with counterparties that the Fund’s advisor determined to be major, global financial institutions.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Return calculations assume the reinvestment of distributions and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. The investment return and net asset value (“NAV”) will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. The performance above reflects any fee reductions during the applicable periods. If such fee reductions had not occurred, the quoted performance would be lower. Performance numbers are net of all Fund fees and expenses but do not include any insurance, sales, or administrative charges of variable annuity or life insurance contracts. If these charges were included, the returns would be lower. To obtain performance current to the most recent month-end, please call toll-free 888-776-3637.

ProFund VP Nasdaq-100 (the “Fund”) seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the performance of the Nasdaq-100® Index (the “Index”). For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund had a total return of 52.17%. For the same period, the Index had a total return of 55.13%1 and a volatility of 18.07%. For the year, the Fund achieved an average daily statistical correlation of over 0.99 to the daily performance of the Index.2

 

The Fund takes positions in financial instruments that, in combination, should have similar return characteristics as the return of the Index. The Index, a modified market capitalization-weighted index, includes 100 of the largest non-financial domestic and international issues listed on Nasdaq.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund invested in swap agreements and futures contracts in addition to investing directly in stocks in order to gain exposure to the Index. These derivatives generally tracked the performance of their underlying benchmark and were negatively impacted by financing costs associated with their use. The Fund entered into swap agreements with counterparties that the Fund’s advisor determined to be major, global financial institutions. If a counterparty becomes insolvent or otherwise fails to perform on its obligations, the value of investments in the Fund may decline. The Fund has sought to mitigate this risk by generally requiring counterparties to post collateral for the benefit of the Fund, marked to market daily, in an amount approximately equal to the amount the counterparty owed to the Fund, subject to certain minimum thresholds.

38 :: ProFund VP Rising Rates Opportunity :: Management Discussion of Fund Performance

 

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 movement of the most recently issued 30-Year U.S. Treasury Bond (the "Long Bond") for a single day, not for any other period. A "single day" is measured from the time the Fund calculates its net asset value ("NAV") to the time of the Fund's next NAV calculation. The return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result of its return for each day compounded over the period. The Fund's returns for periods longer than a single day very likely differ in amount, and possibly even direction, from the Fund's stated multiple (-1.25x) times the return of the Long Bond for the same period. For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money if the Long Bond's performance is flat, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if the level of the Long Bond falls. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund had a total return of 1.75%. For the same period, the Long Bond, as measured by the S&P U.S. Treasury Bond Current 30-Year Total Return Index1,2, had a total return of 2.41%3 and a volatility of 17.77%. For the year, the Fund achieved an average daily statistical correlation of over 0.99 to one and one-quarter times the inverse of the daily price movement of the Long Bond.4

 

The Fund takes positions in financial instruments that, in combination, should have similar daily return characteristics as one and one-quarter times the inverse of the daily price movement of the Long Bond. The Long Bond is the longest term outstanding 30-year bond issued by the U.S. Treasury. As of December 31, 2023, the most recent Long Bond carried a maturity date of 11/15/53 and a 4.75% coupon.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund invested in swap agreements and futures contracts as a substitute for shorting bonds in order to gain inverse leveraged exposure to the Long Bond. These derivatives generally tracked the performance of their underlying benchmark and benefited from financing costs associated with their use. The Fund entered into swap agreements with counterparties that the Fund's advisor determined to be major, global financial institutions. If a counterparty becomes insolvent or otherwise fails to perform on its obligations, the value of investments in the Fund may decline. The Fund has sought to mitigate this risk by generally requiring counterparties to post collateral for the benefit of the Fund, marked to market daily, in an amount approximately equal to the amount the counterparty owed to the Fund, subject to certain minimum thresholds.

Management Discussion of Fund Performance :: ProFund VP Semiconductor :: 39

 

ProFund VP Semiconductor (the "Fund") seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the performance of the Dow Jones U.S. SemiconductorsSM Index (the "Index"). For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund had a total return of 93.66%. For the same period, the Index had a return of 96.95%1 and a volatility of 30.37%. For the year, the Fund achieved an average daily statistical correlation of over 0.99 to the daily performance of the Index.2

 

The Fund takes positions in financial instruments that, in combination, should have similar return characteristics as the return of the Index. The Index measures the performance of the semiconductor sector of the U.S. equity market. Component companies are engaged in the production of semiconductors and other integrated chips, as well as other related products such as semiconductor capital equipment and motherboards.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund invested in swap agreements in addition to investing directly in stocks in order to gain exposure to the Index. These derivatives generally tracked the performance of their underlying benchmark and were negatively impacted by financing costs associated with their use. The Fund entered into swap agreements with counterparties that the Fund's advisor determined to be major, global financial institutions. If a counterparty becomes insolvent or otherwise fails to perform on its obligations, the value of investments in the Fund may decline. The Fund has sought to mitigate this risk by generally requiring counterparties to post collateral for the benefit of the Fund, marked to market daily, in an amount approximately equal to the amount the counterparty owed to the Fund, subject to certain minimum thresholds.

40 :: ProFund VP Short Dow 30 :: Management Discussion of Fund Performance

 

ProFund VP Short Dow 30 (the "Fund") seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the return of the Dow Jones Industrial Average® (the "Index") for a single day, not for any other period. A "single day" is measured from the time the Fund calculates its net asset value ("NAV") to the time of the Fund's next NAV calculation. The return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result of its return for each day compounded over the period. The Fund's returns for periods longer than a single day will very likely differ in amount, and possibly even direction from the Fund's stated multiple (-1x) times the return of the Fund's Index for the same period. For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money if the Index's performance is flat, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if the level of the index falls. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund had a total return of -8.01%. For the same period, the Index had a total return of 16.18%1 and a volatility of 11.39%. For the year, the Fund achieved an average daily statistical correlation of over 0.99 to the inverse of the daily performance of the Index.2

 

The Fund takes positions in financial instruments that, in combination, should have similar daily return characteristics as the inverse of the daily return of the Index. The Index is a price-weighted index. The Index includes 30 large-cap, "blue-chip" U.S. stocks, excluding utility and transportation companies. Components are selected through a discretionary process with no pre-determined criteria except that components should be established U.S. companies that are leaders in their industries, have an excellent reputation, demonstrate sustained growth, are of interest to a large number of investors, and accurately represents the sectors covered by the average. The Index is not limited to traditionally defined industrial stocks. Instead, the Index serves as a measure of the entire U.S. market, covering such diverse industries as financial services, technology, retail, entertainment, and consumer goods. Composition changes are rare, and generally occur only after corporate acquisitions or other dramatic shifts in a component's core business. When such an event necessitates that one component be replaced, the entire Index is reviewed.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund invested in swap agreements as a substitute for shorting stocks in order to gain inverse exposure to the Index. These derivatives generally tracked the performance of their underlying benchmark and benefited from financing costs associated with their use. The Fund entered into swap agreements with counterparties that the Fund's advisor determined to be major, global financial institutions. If a counterparty becomes insolvent or otherwise fails to perform on its obligations, the value of investments in the Fund may decline.

Management Discussion of Fund Performance :: ProFund VP Short Emerging Markets :: 41

 

ProFund VP Short Emerging Markets (the "Fund") seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the return of the S&P Emerging 50 ADR Index (USD) (the "Index") for a single day, not for any other period. A "single day" is measured from the time the Fund calculates its net asset value ("NAV") to the time of the Fund's next NAV calculation. The return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result of its return for each day compounded over the period. The Fund's returns for periods longer than a single day will very likely differ in amount, and possibly even direction from the Fund's stated multiple (-1x) times the return of the Fund's Index for the same period. For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money if the Index's performance is flat, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if the level of the index falls. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund had a total return of -11.78%. For the same period, the Index had a total return of 17.23%and a volatility of 19.80%. For the year, the Fund achieved an average daily statistical correlation of over 0.99 to the inverse of the daily performance of the Index.2

 

The Fund takes positions in financial instruments that, in combination, should have similar daily return characteristics as the inverse of the daily return of the Index. The Index is a free-float adjusted, market capitalization-weighted index. The Index is designed to track the performance of a basket of companies who have their primary equity listing on a stock exchange of an emerging market country and who also have depositary receipts that trade on a U.S. exchange or on Nasdaq. As of December 31, 2023, the Index consists of companies from the following emerging market countries: Brazil, Chile, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, South Africa, South Korea and Taiwan. The Index is expressed in U.S. dollar terms and as such should generally reflect the relative movement of the U.S. dollar against the basket of foreign currencies represented by the constituent companies in the Index.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund invested in swap agreements as a substitute for shorting stocks in order to gain inverse exposure to the Index. These derivatives generally tracked the performance of their underlying benchmark and benefited from financing costs associated with their use. The Fund entered into swap agreements with counterparties that the Fund's advisor determined to be major, global financial institutions. If a counterparty becomes insolvent or otherwise fails to perform on its obligations, the value of investments in the Fund may decline. The Fund has sought to mitigate this risk by generally requiring counterparties to post collateral for the benefit of the Fund, marked to market daily, in an amount approximately equal to the amount the counterparty owed to the Fund, subject to certain minimum thresholds.

42 :: ProFund VP Short International :: Management Discussion of Fund Performance

 

ProFund VP Short International (the "Fund") seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the return of the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia and Far East ("MSCI EAFE") Index® (the "Index") for a single day, not for any other period. Since the foreign markets are not open when this Fund values its shares, it determines its success in meeting this daily investment objective by comparing its daily return on a given day with the inverse of the daily performance of related futures contracts traded in the United States. A "single day" is measured from the time the Fund calculates its net asset value ("NAV") to the time of the Fund's next NAV calculation. The return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result of its return for each day compounded over the period. The Fund's returns for periods longer than a single day will likely differ in amount, and possibly even direction from the Fund's stated multiple (-1x) times the return of the Fund's Index for the same period. For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money if the Index's performance is flat, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if the level of the index falls. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund had a total return of -10.29%. For the same period, the Index had a total return of 18.24%1 and a volatility of 12.50%. For the year, the Fund achieved an average daily statistical correlation of over 0.99 to the inverse of the daily performance of the U.S.-traded MSCI EAFE futures contract.2

 

The Fund takes positions in financial instruments that, in combination, should have similar daily return characteristics as the inverse of the daily return of the Index. The Index includes 85% of free-float adjusted, market capitalization in each industry group in developed market countries equity performance, excluding the U.S. and Canada. As of December 31, 2023, the Index has constituent companies from the following 21 developed market 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 levels and the price of the related futures contracts are expressed in U.S. dollar terms and as such they should generally reflect the relative movement of the U.S. dollar against the basket of foreign currencies represented by the constituent companies in the Index.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund invested in swap agreements as a substitute for shorting stocks in order to gain inverse exposure to the Index. These derivatives generally tracked the performance of their underlying benchmark and benefited from financing costs associated with their use. The Fund entered into swap agreements with counterparties that the Fund's advisor determined to be major, global financial institutions. If a counterparty becomes insolvent or otherwise fails to perform on its obligations, the value of investments in the Fund may decline.

Management Discussion of Fund Performance :: ProFund VP Short Mid-Cap :: 43

 

ProFund VP Short Mid-Cap (the "Fund") seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the return of the S&P MidCap 400® Index (the "Index") for a single day, not for any other period. A "single day" is measured from the time the Fund calculates its net asset value ("NAV") to the time of the Fund's next NAV calculation. The return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result of its return for each day compounded over the period. The Fund's returns for periods longer than a single day will very likely differ in amount, and possibly even direction from the Fund's stated multiple (-1x) times the return of the Fund's Index for the same period. For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money if the Index's performance is flat, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if the level of the index falls. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund had a total return of -9.35%. For the same period, the Index had a total return of 16.44%1 and a volatility of 17.47%. For the year, the Fund achieved an average daily statistical correlation of 0.99 to the inverse of the daily performance of the Index.2

 

The Fund takes positions in financial instruments that, in combination, should have similar daily return characteristics as the inverse of the daily return of the Index. The Index is a measure of mid-size company U.S. stock market performance. It is a float-adjusted, market capitalization-weighted index of 400 U.S. operating companies and real estate investment trusts selected through a process that factors in criteria such as liquidity, price, market capitalization, and financial viability. Reconstitution occurs both on a quarterly and ongoing basis.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund invested in swap agreements as a substitute for shorting stocks in order to gain inverse exposure to the Index. These derivatives generally tracked the performance of their underlying benchmark and benefited from financing costs associated with their use. The Fund entered into swap agreements with counterparties that the Fund's advisor determined to be major, global financial institutions. If a counterparty becomes insolvent or otherwise fails to perform on its obligations, the value of investments in the Fund may decline. The Fund has sought to mitigate this risk by generally requiring counterparties to post collateral for the benefit of the Fund, marked to market daily, in an amount approximately equal to the amount the counterparty owed to the Fund, subject to certain minimum thresholds.

Return calculations assume the reinvestment of distributions and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. The investment return and NAV will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. The performance above reflects any fee reductions during the applicable periods. If such fee reductions had not occurred, the quoted performance would be lower.

ProFund VP Short Nasdaq-100 (the "Fund") seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the return of the Nasdaq-100® Index (the "Index") for a single day, not for any other period. A "single day" is measured from the time the Fund calculates its net asset value ("NAV") to the time of the Fund's next NAV calculation. The return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result of its return for each day compounded over the period. The Fund's returns for periods longer than a single day will very likely differ in amount, and possibly even direction from the Fund's stated multiple (-1x) times the return of the Fund's Index for the same period. For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money if the Index's performance is flat, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if the level of the index falls. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund had a total return of -32.40%. For the same period, the Index had a total return of 55.13%1 and a volatility of 18.07%. For the year, the Fund achieved an average daily statistical correlation of over 0.99 to the inverse of the daily performance of the Index.2

 

The Fund takes positions in financial instruments that, in combination, should have similar daily return characteristics as the inverse of the daily return of the Index. The Index, a modified market capitalization-weighted index, includes 100 of the largest non-financial domestic and international issues listed on Nasdaq.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund invested in swap agreements and futures contracts as a substitute for shorting stocks in order to gain inverse exposure to the Index.

For the same period, the Index had a total return of 16.93%1 and a volatility of 20.02%. For the year, the Fund achieved an average daily statistical correlation of over 0.99 to the inverse of the daily performance of the Index.2

 

The Fund takes positions in financial instruments that, in combination, should have similar daily return characteristics as the inverse of the daily return of the Index. The Index is a measure of small-cap U.S. stock market performance. It is a float-adjusted, market capitalization-weighted index containing approximately 2,000 of the smallest companies in the Russell 3000® Index or approximately 10% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000® Index, which in turn represents approximately 97% of the investable U.S. equity market.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Return calculations assume the reinvestment of distributions and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. The investment return and net asset value ("NAV") will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. The performance above reflects any fee reductions during the applicable periods. If such fee reductions had not occurred, the quoted performance would be lower. Performance numbers are net of all Fund fees and expenses but do not include any insurance, sales, or administrative charges of variable annuity or life insurance contracts.

Management Discussion of Fund Performance :: ProFund VP Technology :: 49

 

ProFund VP Technology (the "Fund") seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the performance of the S&P Technology Select Sector Index1 (the "Index"). For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund had a total return of 57.95%. For the same period, the Index had a total return of 56.13%2 and a volatility of 18.65%. For the year, the Fund achieved an average daily statistical correlation of over 0.99 to the daily performance of the Index.3

 

The Fund takes positions in financial instruments that, in combination, should have similar return characteristics as the return of the Index. The Index represents the technology sector of the S&P 500®. The Index includes equity securities of companies from the following industries: IT services; software; communications equipment; technology, hardware, storage & peripherals; electronic equipment, instruments, & components; and semiconductors & semiconductor equipment.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund invested in swap agreements in addition to investing directly in stocks in order to gain exposure to the Index. These derivatives generally tracked the performance of their underlying benchmark and were negatively impacted by financing costs associated with their use. The Fund entered into swap agreements with counterparties that the Fund's advisor determined to be major, global financial institutions. If a counterparty becomes insolvent or otherwise fails to perform on its obligations, the value of investments in the Fund may decline. The Fund has sought to mitigate this risk by generally requiring counterparties to post collateral for the benefit of the Fund, marked to market daily, in an amount approximately equal to the amount the counterparty owed to the Fund, subject to certain minimum thresholds.

1 As of the close of business on March 17, 2023, the Fund's underlying benchmark index changed from the Dow Jones U.S. TechnologySM Index to the S&P Technology Select Sector Index. The advisor believes that the benchmark change will align the Fund with a leading S&P sector index that utilizes the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS), enabling investors to more effectively integrate the Fund into their portfolios.

50 :: ProFund VP UltraBull :: Management Discussion of Fund Performance

 

ProFund VP UltraBull (the "Fund") seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to two times (2x) the return of the S&P 500® (the "Index") for a single day, not for any other period. A "single day" is measured from the time the Fund calculates its net asset value ("NAV") to the time of the Fund's next NAV calculation. The return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result of its return for each day compounded over the period. The Fund's returns for periods longer than a single day will very likely differ in amount, and possibly even direction from the Fund's stated multiple (2x) times the return of the Fund's Index for the same period. For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money if the Index's performance is flat, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if the level of the index rises. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund had a total return of 45.23%. For the same period, the Index had a total return of 26.29%1 and a volatility of 13.09%. For the year, the Fund achieved an average daily statistical correlation of over 0.99 to twice that of the daily performance of the Index.2

 

The Fund takes positions in financial instruments that, in combination, should have similar daily return characteristics as twice the daily return of the Index. The Index is a measure of large-cap U.S. stock market performance. It is a float-adjusted, market capitalization-weighted index of 500 U.S. operating companies and real estate investment trusts selected through a process that factors criteria such as liquidity, price, market capitalization, and financial viability. Reconstitution occurs both on a quarterly and an ongoing basis.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund invested in swap agreements and futures contracts in addition to investing directly in stocks in order to gain leveraged exposure to the Index. These derivatives generally tracked the performance of their underlying benchmark and were negatively impacted by financing costs associated with their use. The Fund entered into swap agreements with counterparties that the Fund's advisor determined to be major, global financial institutions.

Management Discussion of Fund Performance :: ProFund VP UltraShort Dow 30 :: 53

 

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 return of the Dow Jones Industrial Average® (the "Index") for a single day, not for any other period. A "single day" is measured from the time the Fund calculates its net asset value ("NAV") to the time of the Fund's next NAV calculation. The return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result of its return for each day compounded over the period. The Fund's returns for periods longer than a single day will very likely differ in amount, and possibly even direction from the Fund's stated multiple (-2x) times the return of the Fund's Index for the same period. For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money if the Index's performance is flat, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if the level of the index falls. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund had a total return of -18.76%. For the same period, the Index had a total return of 16.18%1 and a volatility of 11.39%. For the year, the Fund achieved an average daily statistical correlation of over 0.99 to twice the inverse of the daily performance of the Index.2

 

The Fund takes positions in financial instruments that, in combination, should have similar daily return characteristics as twice the inverse of the daily return of the Index. The Index is a price-weighted index. The Index includes 30 large-cap, "blue-chip" U.S. stocks, excluding utility and transportation companies. Components are selected through a discretionary process with no pre-determined criteria except that components should be established U.S. companies that are leaders in their industries, have an excellent reputation, demonstrate sustained growth, are of interest to a large number of investors, and accurately represents the sectors covered by the average. The Index is not limited to traditionally defined industrial stocks. Instead, the Index serves as a measure of the entire U.S. market, covering such diverse industries as financial services, technology, retail, entertainment, and consumer goods. Composition changes are rare, and generally occur only after corporate acquisitions or other dramatic shifts in a component's core business. When such an event necessitates that one component be replaced, the entire Index is reviewed.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund invested in swap agreements as a substitute for shorting stocks in order to gain inverse leveraged exposure to the Index. These derivatives generally tracked the performance of their underlying benchmark and benefited from financing costs associated with their use. The Fund entered into swap agreements with counterparties that the Fund's advisor determined to be major, global financial institutions. If a counterparty becomes insolvent or otherwise fails to perform on its obligations, the value of investments in the Fund may decline. The Fund has sought to mitigate this risk by generally requiring counterparties to post collateral for the benefit of the Fund, marked to market daily, in an amount approximately equal to the amount the counterparty owed to the Fund, subject to certain minimum thresholds.

54 :: ProFund VP UltraShort Nasdaq-100 :: Management Discussion of Fund Performance

 

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 return of the Nasdaq-100® Index (the "Index") for a single day, not for any other period. A "single day" is measured from the time the Fund calculates its net asset value ("NAV") to the time of the Fund's next NAV calculation. The return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result of its return for each day compounded over the period. The Fund's returns for periods longer than a single day will very likely differ in amount, and possibly even direction from the Fund's stated multiple (-2x) times the return of the Fund's Index for the same period. For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money if the Index's performance is flat, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if the level of the index falls. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund had a total return of -57.49%. For the same period, the Index had a total return of 55.13%1 and a volatility of 18.07%. For the year, the Fund achieved an average daily statistical correlation of over 0.99 to twice the inverse of the daily performance of the Index.2

 

The Fund takes positions in financial instruments that, in combination, should have similar daily return characteristics as twice the inverse of the daily return of the Index. The Index, a modified market capitalization-weighted index, includes 100 of the largest non-financial domestic and international issues listed on Nasdaq.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund invested in swap agreements as a substitute for shorting stocks in order to gain inverse leveraged exposure to the Index. These derivatives generally tracked the performance of their underlying benchmark and benefited from financing costs associated with their use. The Fund entered into swap agreements with counterparties that the Fund's advisor determined to be major, global financial institutions. If a counterparty becomes insolvent or otherwise fails to perform on its obligations, the value of investments in the Fund may decline. The Fund has sought to mitigate this risk by generally requiring counterparties to post collateral for the benefit of the Fund, marked to market daily, in an amount approximately equal to the amount the counterparty owed to the Fund, subject to certain minimum thresholds.

Management Discussion of Fund Performance :: ProFund VP UltraSmall-Cap :: 55

 

ProFund VP UltraSmall-Cap (the "Fund") seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to two times (2x) the return of the Russell 2000® Index (the "Index") for a single day, not for any other period. A "single day" is measured from the time the Fund calculates its net asset value ("NAV") to the time of the Fund's next NAV calculation. The return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result of its return for each day compounded over the period. The Fund's returns for periods longer than a single day will very likely differ in amount, and possibly even direction from the Fund's stated multiple (2x) times the return of the Fund's Index for the same period. For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money if the Index's performance is flat, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if the level of the index rises. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund had a total return of 22.54%. For the same period, the Index had a total return of 16.93%1 and a volatility of 20.02%. For the year, the Fund achieved an average daily statistical correlation of over 0.99 to twice that of the daily performance of the Index.2

 

The Fund takes positions in financial instruments that, in combination, should have similar daily return characteristics as twice the daily return of the Index. The Index is a measure of small-cap U.S. stock market performance. It is a float-adjusted, market capitalization-weighted index containing approximately 2,000 of the smallest companies in the Russell 3000® Index or approximately 10% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000® Index, which in turn represents approximately 97% of the investable U.S. equity market.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund invested in swap agreements and futures contracts in addition to investing directly in stocks in order to gain leveraged exposure to the Index. These derivatives generally tracked the performance of their underlying benchmark and were negatively impacted by financing costs associated with their use. The Fund entered into swap agreements with counterparties that the Fund's advisor determined to be major, global financial institutions.

56 :: ProFund VP U.S. Government Plus :: Management Discussion of Fund Performance

 

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 movement of the most recently issued 30-Year U.S. Treasury Bond ( the "Long Bond") for a single day, not for any other period. A "single day" is measured from the time the Fund calculates its net asset value ("NAV") to the time of the Fund's next NAV calculation. The return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result of its return for each day compounded over the period. The Fund's returns for periods longer than a single day will very likely differ in amount, and possibly even direction, from the Fund's stated multiple (1.25x) times the return of the Long Bond for the same period. For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money if the Long Bond's performance is flat, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if the level of the Long Bond rises. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund had a total return of 0.04%. For the same period, the Long Bond, as measured by the S&P U.S. Treasury Bond Current 30-Year Total Return Index1,2, had a total return of 2.41%3 and a volatility of 17.77%. For the year, the Fund achieved an average daily statistical correlation of over 0.99 to one and one-quarter times the daily price movement of the Long Bond.4

 

The Fund takes positions in financial instruments that, in combination, should have similar daily return characteristics as one and one-quarter times the daily price movement of the Long Bond. The Long Bond is the longest term outstanding 30-year bond issued by the U.S. Treasury. As of December 31, 2023, the most recent Long Bond carried a maturity date of 11/15/53 and a 4.75% coupon.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund invested in swap agreements and futures contracts as in addition to investing directly in bonds in order to gain leveraged exposure to the Long Bond. These derivatives generally tracked the performance of their underlying benchmark and were negatively impacted by financing costs associated with their use. The Fund entered into swap agreements with counterparties that the Fund's advisor determined to be major, global financial institutions. If a counterparty becomes insolvent or otherwise fails to perform on its obligations, the value of investments in the Fund may decline. The Fund has sought to mitigate this risk by generally requiring counterparties to post collateral for the benefit of the Fund, marked to market daily, in an amount approximately equal to the amount the counterparty owed to the Fund, subject to certain minimum thresholds.

Management Discussion of Fund Performance :: ProFund VP Utilities :: 57

 

ProFund VP Utilities (the "Fund") seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the performance of the S&P Utilities Select Sector Index1 (the "Index"). For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund had a total return of -8.59%. For the same period, the Index had a return of -7.08%2 and a volatility of 17.82%. For the year, the Fund achieved an average daily statistical correlation of over 0.99 to the daily performance of the Index.3

 

The Fund takes positions in financial instruments that, in combination, should have similar return characteristics as the return of the Index. The Index represents the utilities sector of the S&P 500®. The Index includes equity securities of companies from the following industries: electric utilities; gas utilities; multi-utilities; water utilities; and independent power and renewable electricity producers.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund invested in swap agreements in addition to investing directly in stocks in order to gain exposure to the Index. These derivatives generally tracked the performance of their underlying benchmark and were negatively impacted by financing costs associated with their use.

Expense Examples

 

 

 

 

60 :: Expense Examples (unaudited)

 

As a ProFund VP shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution fees; and other ProFund VP expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a ProFund VP and to compare these costs with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the examples are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total cost of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. These examples also do not reflect fees associated with insurance company or insurance contracts. If those fees were reflected, expenses would be higher.

 

Actual Expenses

 

The actual examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of a six-month period and held for the entire period ended December 31, 2023.

 

The columns below under the heading entitled "Actual" provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Expenses for Comparison Purpose

 

The hypothetical expense examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of a six-month period and held throughout the period ended December 31, 2023.

 

The columns below under the heading entitled "Hypothetical" provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each ProFund VP's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not each ProFund VP's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your ProFund VP and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

*As of December 31, 2023, the CDX North America High Yield Index included securities which had defaulted and represented 1% of the Index.
**Reflects the notional amount after the default of securities.
(1) When a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of the swap agreement, the Fund as a seller of credit protection will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the par value of the defaulted reference entity and take delivery of the reference entity or (ii) pay a net amount equal to the par value of the defaulted reference entity less its recovery value.
(2) Implied credit spread, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the value of the credit default swap agreements as of period end will serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default or other credit event for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Generally, wider credit spreads represent a perceived deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the swap agreement.
(3) The notional amount represents the maximum potential amount the Fund could be required pay as a seller of credit protection if a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of the swap agreement, for each security included in the CDX North America High Yield Index.

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.

Details of the current expense limitation in effect can be found in Note 4 of the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

(e) As described in Note 8, share amounts have been adjusted for 1:4 reverse share split that occurred on December 14, 2020.

December 31, 2023 :: Notes to Financial Statements :: 305

 

The ProFunds VP, excluding ProFund VP Government Money Market, are referred to as the “non-money market ProFunds VP.” Each non-money market ProFund VP, other than 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, is classified as non-diversified under the 1940 Act. Each ProFund VP has one class of shares.

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust and ProFunds VP’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the ProFunds VP.

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by each ProFund VP in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. The actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Investment Valuation

 

The ProFunds VP record their investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described in Note 3.

 

Cash

 

Cash is held at major financial institutions and is subject to credit risk to the extent those balances exceed applicable Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) limitations.

 

Repurchase Agreements

 

Each ProFund VP may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions in pursuit of its investment objective, as “cover” for the investment techniques it employs, or for liquidity purposes. Repurchase agreements are primarily used by the ProFunds VP as short-term investments for cash positions. Under a repurchase agreement, a ProFund VP 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 business day. The resale price is typically 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.

 

The ProFunds VP follow certain procedures designed to minimize the risks inherent in such agreements. These procedures include effecting repurchase transactions generally with major, global financial institutions whose creditworthiness is continuously monitored by ProFund Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”). 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. ProFunds VP within the Trust invest in repurchase agreements jointly. Each ProFund VP, therefore, holds a pro rata share of the collateral and interest income based upon the dollar amount of the repurchase agreements entered into by each ProFund VP. The collateral underlying the repurchase agreement is held by the ProFund VP’s custodian. In the event of a default or bankruptcy by a selling financial institution, a ProFund VP 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 ProFund VP could suffer a loss. A ProFund VP also may experience difficulties and incur certain costs in exercising its rights to the collateral and may lose the interest the ProFund VP 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 the ProFunds VP 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 ProFund VP, amounts to more than 15% of the ProFund VP’s total net assets. The investments of each of the ProFunds VP in repurchase agreements at times may be substantial when, in the view of the Advisor, liquidity, investment, regulatory, or other considerations so warrant. During periods of high demand for repurchase agreements, the ProFunds VP may be unable to invest available cash in these instruments to the extent desired by the Advisor.

 

Information concerning the counterparties, value of, collateralization and amounts due under repurchase agreement transactions may be found in the table below.

 

As of December 31, 2023, the ProFunds VP had undivided interest in joint repurchase agreements with the following counterparties, for the time periods and rates indicated. Amounts shown in the table below represent principal amount, cost and value for each respective repurchase agreement.

Investments in Other Investment Companies

 

Each non money-market ProFund VP 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 the ProFund VP invests in, and thus, is a shareholder of, another investment company, the ProFund VP’s shareholders will indirectly bear the ProFund VP’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 ProFund VP to the ProFund VP’s own investment adviser and the other expenses that the ProFund VP bears directly in connection with the ProFund VP’s own operations. Because most ETFs are investment companies, the ProFund VP’s investments in such investment companies generally would be limited under applicable federal statutory provisions. Those provisions typically restrict the ProFund VP’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. The ProFund VP 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 “funds of funds” arrangements.

 

Depositary Receipts

 

Each non-money market ProFund VP may invest in American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), New York Shares (“NYSs”) and Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”). ADRs represent the right to receive securities of foreign issuers deposited in a bank or corresponding 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. NYSs (or “direct shares”) are foreign stocks denominated in U.S. dollars that trade on American exchanges without being converted to ADRs. GDRs are receipts for shares in a foreign-based corporation traded in capital markets around the world.

 

Real Estate Investment Trusts

 

Each non-money market ProFund VP (other than the Non-Equity ProFunds VP) may invest in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) which report information on the source of their distributions annually. Equity REITs invest primarily in real property while mortgage REITs invest in constructions, development, and long-term mortgage loans. Their value may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying property of the REITs, the creditworthiness of the issuer, property taxes, interest rates, and tax regulatory requirements, such as those relating to the environment. REITs are dependent upon management skill, are not diversified and are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, default by borrowers, self-liquidation, the possibility of failing to qualify for tax-free pass-through of income under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the possibility of failing to maintain exempt status under the 1940 Act. Certain distributions received from REITs during the year are recorded as realized gains or return of capital when such information becomes known.

 

Derivative Instruments

 

In seeking to achieve each ProFund VP’s investment objective, the Advisor uses a mathematical approach to investing. Using this approach, the Advisor determines the type, quantity and mix of investment positions. Certain ProFunds VP may obtain investment exposure through derivative instruments, such as futures contracts, forward currency contracts and swap agreements, that a ProFund VP should hold to approximate the daily performance, inverse performance, or multiple thereof, as applicable, of its benchmark. All derivative instruments held during the year ended December 31, 2023, were utilized to gain exposure or inverse exposure to each ProFund VP’s benchmark (e.g., index, etc.) to meet its investment objective.

 

The ProFund Access VP High Yield maintains exposure to the high yield market (i.e., U.S. corporate high yield debt market), regardless of market conditions. This means ProFund Access VP High Yield does not adopt defensive positions in cash or other instruments in anticipation of an adverse market climate. The ProFund Access VP High Yield invests primarily in derivatives, money market instruments, and U.S. Treasury obligations that the Advisor believes, in combination, should provide investment results that correspond to the high yield market. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the ProFund Access VP High Yield held credit default swap agreements for credit exposure to the high yield market and futures contracts and/or treasury notes for interest rate exposure to meet the ProFund Access VP High Yield’s investment objective.

 

Each non-money market ProFund VP, other than the Classic ProFunds VP, the Sector ProFunds VP and the ProFund VP Falling U.S. Dollar, does not seek to achieve its investment objective over a period of time greater than a single day.

 

All open derivative positions at year end are reflected on each respective ProFund VP’s Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The volume associated with derivative positions varies on a daily basis as each ProFund VP transacts in derivative contracts in order to achieve the appropriate exposure, as expressed in notional amount (contract value for forward currency contracts), in comparison to net assets consistent with each ProFund VP’s investment objective.

 

Certain ProFunds VP utilized a varying level of derivative instruments in conjunction with the investment securities to meet their investment objective during the year ended December 31, 2023. With the exception of the ProFunds VP listed below, the notional amount of open derivative positions relative to each ProFund VP’s net assets at year end is generally representative of the notional amount of open positions to net assets throughout the year. The volume associated with swap agreements in the ProFund VP Semiconductor and ProFund VP UltraMid-Cap was 12%, and 117%, respectively, based on average monthly notional amounts in comparison to net assets during the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

In connection with its management of certain series of the Trust included in this report (ProFund VP UltraShort Dow 30 and ProFund VP UltraShort Nasdaq-100 (the “Commodity Pools”)), the Advisor is registered as a commodity pool operator (a “CPO”) and the Commodity Pools are commodity pools under the Commodity Exchange Act (the “CEA”). The Advisor also registered as a commodity trading advisor (a “CTA”) under the CEA as a

 

 

 

 

308 :: Notes to Financial Statements :: December 31, 2023

 

result of its role as subadvisor to funds outside the Trust. Accordingly, the Advisor is subject to registration and regulation as a CPO and CTA under the CEA and must comply with various regulatory requirements under the CEA and the rules and regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) and the National Futures Association (“NFA”), including investor protection requirements, antifraud provisions, disclosure requirements and reporting and recordkeeping requirements. The Advisor is also subject to periodic inspections and audits by the CFTC and 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 the Advisor or the Commodity Pools to additional regulation may have adverse impacts on the Commodity Pools’ operations and expenses.

 

The following is a description of the derivative instruments utilized by the ProFunds VP, including certain risks related to each instrument type.

 

Futures Contracts

 

Each non-money market ProFund VP may purchase or sell futures contracts 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 (the contract multiplier) 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 ProFund VP 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 (the contract multiplier) 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.

 

Whether a ProFund VP realizes a gain or loss from futures activities depends generally upon movements in the underlying currency, commodity, security, or index. The extent of a ProFund VP’s loss from an unhedged short position in futures contracts is potentially unlimited and investors may lose the amount that they invest plus any profits recognized on that investment. Each ProFund VP will engage in transactions in futures contracts 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 CFTC.

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, each ProFund VP will be required to deposit with the broker an amount of cash or cash equivalents in the range of approximately 5% to 10% of the contract amount for equity index futures and in the range of approximately 1% to 3% of the contract amount for treasury futures (this amount is subject to change by the exchange on which the contract is traded). 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 the ProFund VP 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 asset 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 ProFund VP may elect to close its position by taking an opposite position, which will operate to terminate the ProFund VP’s existing position in the contract.

 

The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between movements in the price of futures and the market value of the underlying assets, and the possibility of an illiquid market for a futures contract. Although each ProFund VP intends to 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 ProFund VP to substantial losses. If trading is not possible, or if a ProFund VP determines not to close a futures position in anticipation of adverse price movements, the ProFund VP will be required to make daily cash payments of variation margin. The risk that the ProFund VP 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. In addition, although the counterparty to a futures contract is often a clearing organization, backed by a group of financial institutions, there may be instances in which the counterparty could fail to perform its obligations, causing significant losses to a ProFund VP.

 

Forward Currency Contracts

 

The ProFund VP Falling U.S. Dollar 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.

 

It is possible that, under certain circumstances, this ProFund VP may have to limit its currency transactions to qualify as a “regulated investment company” (“RIC”) under the Internal Revenue Code. The ProFund VP Falling U.S. Dollar 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

 

 

 

 

December 31, 2023 :: Notes to Financial Statements :: 309

 

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.

 

At or before the maturity of a forward currency contract, the ProFund VP Falling U.S. Dollar 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 it to buy, on the same maturity date, the same amount of the currency. If this ProFund VP engages in an offsetting transaction, it may later enter into a new forward currency contract to sell the currency.

 

If the ProFund VP Falling U.S. Dollar engages in offsetting transactions it 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 the ProFund VP Falling U.S. Dollar 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 ProFund VP will realize a gain to the extent that the price of ProFund VP currency it has agreed to sell exceeds the price of the currency it has agreed to buy. If forward prices go up, the ProFund VP 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.

 

The ProFund VP Falling U.S. Dollar collateralizes forward currency contracts with cash and certain securities as indicated on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the Schedule of Portfolio Investments, respectively. Such collateral is held for the benefit of the counterparty in a segregated tri-party account at the custodian, to protect the counterparty against non-payment by the respective ProFund VP. Similarly, the ProFund VP Falling U.S. Dollar has sought to mitigate credit risk by generally requiring that the counterparties to the ProFund VP post collateral for the benefit of the ProFund VP in a segregated account at the custodian, marked to market daily, in an amount equal to what the counterparty owes the ProFund VP, subject to certain minimum thresholds. In the event of a default by the counterparty, the ProFund VP will seek withdrawal of this collateral from the segregated account and may incur certain costs exercising its right with respect to the collateral. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or fails to perform its obligations, the ProFund VP Falling U.S. Dollar may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in a bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding. The ProFund VP Falling U.S. Dollar may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. The ProFund VP Falling U.S. Dollar will enter into forward currency contracts only with financial institutions that meet the credit quality standards and monitoring policies established by the Advisor. As of December 31, 2023, there was no collateral posted by counterparties.

 

Credit Default Swap (“CDS”) Agreements

 

As of December 31, 2023, the ProFund Access VP High Yield invested in centrally cleared CDS as a substitute for investing directly in bonds in order to gain credit exposure to the high yield market.

 

In a CDS, the agreement will reference one or more debt securities or reference entities. The protection “buyer” in a credit default contract is generally obligated to pay the protection “seller” a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract until a credit event, such as a default, on a reference entity has occurred. 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. A CDS may require premium (discount) payments as well as daily payments (receipts) related to the interest leg of the swap or to the default or change in price of a reference entity.

 

The counterparty risk for cleared swap agreements is generally lower than for uncleared over-the-counter swap agreements because, generally, a clearing organization becomes substituted for each counterparty to a cleared swap agreement and, in effect, guarantees each party’s performance under the contract as each party to a trade looks only to the clearing organization for performance of financial obligations. However, there can be no assurance that the clearing organization, or its members, will satisfy its obligations to the ProFund Access VP High Yield.

 

If the ProFund Access VP High Yield is a seller of a CDS contract (also referred to as a seller of protection or as a buyer of risk), the ProFund Access VP High Yield would be required to pay the par (or other agreed upon) value of a referenced obligation to the counterparty in the event of a default or other credit event. In return, the ProFund Access VP High Yield would receive from the counterparty a daily stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no event of default has occurred. If no default occurs, the ProFund Access VP High Yield would keep the stream of payments and would have no payment obligations. As the seller, the ProFund Access VP High Yield would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap.

 

If the ProFund Access VP High Yield is a buyer of a CDS contract (also referred to as a buyer of protection or a seller of risk), the ProFund Access VP High Yield would have the right to deliver a reference obligation and receive the par (or other agreed-upon) value of such obligation from the counterparty in the event of a default or other credit event (such as a credit downgrade). In return, the ProFund Access VP High Yield would pay the counterparty a daily stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no event of default has occurred. If no default occurs, the counterparty would keep the stream of payments and would have no further obligations to the ProFund Access VP High Yield.

 

The ProFund Access VP High Yield enters into a CDS with multiple reference entities, in which case payments and settlements in respect of any defaulting reference entity would typically be dealt with separately from the other reference entities.

 

Upon entering into a centrally cleared CDS, the ProFund Access VP High Yield may be required to deposit with the broker an amount of cash or cash equivalents in the range of approximately 6% to 10% of the notional amount for CDS on high yield debt issuers (this amount is subject to change by the clearing organization that clears the trade). This amount, known as “initial margin,” is in the nature of a performance bond or good faith deposit on the CDS and is returned to the ProFund Access VP High Yield upon termination of the CDS, 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 CDS

 

 

 

 

310 :: Notes to Financial Statements :: December 31, 2023

 

fluctuates, making the long and short positions in the CDS contract more or less valuable, a process known as “marking-to-market.” The premium (discount) payments are built into the daily price of the CDS and thus are amortized through the variation margin. The variation margin payment also includes the daily portion of the periodic payment stream.

 

Swap Agreements (other than CDS)

 

Each non-money market ProFund VP may enter into swap agreements to gain exposure to an underlying asset without actually purchasing such asset (or shorting such asset), or to hedge a position, including in circumstances in which direct investment is restricted for legal reasons or is otherwise impracticable. Swap agreements 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 return (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular pre-determined investments or instruments. 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 increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a “basket” of securities or an ETF representing a particular index or group of securities.

 

On a typical long swap, the counterparty will generally agree to pay the ProFund VP the amount, if any, by which the notional amount of the swap agreement would have increased in value had it been invested in the particular underlying assets (e.g., securities comprising the relevant benchmark index), plus the dividends or interest that would have been received on those assets. The ProFund VP will agree to pay to the counterparty a floating rate of interest on the notional amount of the swap agreement plus the amount, if any, by which the notional amount would have decreased in value had it been invested in such assets, plus, in certain circumstances, commissions or trading spreads on the notional amount. Therefore, the return to the ProFund VP on any swap agreement should be the gain or loss on the notional amount plus dividends or interest on the assets less the interest paid by the ProFund VP on the notional amount. As a trading technique, the Advisor may substitute physical securities with a swap agreement having investment characteristics substantially similar to the underlying securities. Some ProFunds VP may also enter into swap agreements that provide the opposite return of their benchmark or security (“short” the benchmark or security). Their operations are similar to that of the swaps disclosed above except that the counterparty pays interest to each ProFund VP 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 ProFund VP will agree to pay to the counterparty commissions or trading spreads on the notional amount.

 

Most swap agreements entered into by a ProFund VP calculate and settle the obligations of the parties to the agreement on a “net basis” with a single payment. Consequently, a ProFund VP’s current obligations (or rights) under a swap agreement 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”). When investing in index swap agreements, the ProFunds VP may hold or gain exposure to only a representative sample of securities in the index, or to a component of the index.

 

A ProFund VP’s current obligations under a swap agreement, will be accrued daily (offset against any amounts owed to the ProFund VP) and any accrued but unpaid net amounts owed to a swap counterparty will be covered by segregating or earmarking cash and/or securities determined to be liquid, but typically no payments will be made until the settlement date. Each ProFund VP reserves the right to modify its asset segregation policies in the future, including modifications to comply with any changes in the positions articulated by the SEC or its staff regarding asset segregation. Swap agreements that cannot be terminated of in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the amount a ProFund VP has valued the asset may be considered to be illiquid for purposes of a ProFund VP’s illiquid investment limitations.

 

A ProFund VP bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a swap agreement counterparty. If such a default occurs, a ProFund VP will have contractual remedies pursuant to the swap agreements, but such remedies may be subject to bankruptcy and insolvency laws that could affect the ProFund VP’s rights as a creditor. A ProFund VP will only enter into swap agreements with counterparties that meet the ProFund VP’s standard of creditworthiness (generally, such counterparties would have to be eligible counterparties under the terms of the ProFund VP’s repurchase agreement guidelines). The counterparty to an uncleared swap agreement will typically be a major, global financial institution.

 

Payments may be made at the conclusion of a swap agreement. Swap agreements do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets. Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to swap agreements is limited to the net amount of payments that a ProFund VP is contractually obligated to make. If the other party to a swap agreement defaults, a ProFund VP’s risk of loss consists of the net amount of payments that such ProFund VP is contractually entitled to receive, if any. The net amount of the excess, if any, of a ProFund VP’s obligations over its entitlements with respect to each equity swap will be accrued on a daily basis and an amount of cash or liquid assets, having an aggregate NAV at least equal to such accrued excess will be earmarked or segregated by a ProFund VP’s custodian.

 

In the normal course of business, a ProFund VP enters into International Swap Dealers Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) agreements with certain counterparties for derivative transactions. These agreements contain, among other conditions, events of default and termination events, and various covenants and representations. Certain of the ProFund VP’s ISDA agreements contain provisions that require the ProFund VP to maintain a pre-determined level of net assets, and/or provide limits regarding the decline of the ProFund VP’s NAV over specific periods of time, which may or may not be exclusive of redemptions. If the ProFund VP were to trigger such provisions and have open derivative positions, at that time counterparties to the ISDA agreements could elect to terminate such ISDA agreements and request immediate payment in an amount equal to the net liability positions, if any, under the relevant ISDA agreement. Pursuant to the terms of its ISDA agreements, the ProFund VP will have already collateralized its liability under such agreements, in some cases only in excess of certain threshold amounts. Such collateral is held for the benefit of the counterparty in a segregated tri-party account at the custodian, to protect the counterparty against non-payment by the

 

 

 

 

December 31, 2023 :: Notes to Financial Statements :: 311

 

respective ProFund VP. The ProFunds VP seek to mitigate risks by generally requiring that the counterparties for each ProFund VP agree to post collateral for the benefit of the ProFund VP, marked to market daily, in an amount approximately equal to what the counterparty owes the ProFund VP, subject to certain minimum thresholds, although the ProFunds VP may not always be successful. To the extent any such collateral is insufficient or there are delays in accessing the collateral, the ProFunds VP will be exposed to the risks described above, including possible delays in recovering amounts as a result of bankruptcy proceedings.

 

The use of swaps, including CDS, 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 swap agreements are mispricing or improper valuation, imperfect correlation between movements in the notional amount and the price of the underlying investments, and the inability of the counterparties to perform. If a counterparty’s creditworthiness for an over-the-counter swap declines, the value of the swap would likely decline. The Advisor, under the supervision of the Trust’s Board of Trustees, is responsible for determining and monitoring the liquidity of a ProFund VP’s transactions in swap agreements.

 

Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

 

The ProFunds VP are subject to master netting agreements for swap agreements (other than centrally cleared CDS) and forward currency contracts that allow for amounts owed between the ProFund VP and the counterparty to be netted upon early termination. The party that has the larger payable pays the excess of the larger amount over the smaller amount to the other party. The master netting agreements do not apply to amounts owed to/from different counterparties.

 

As described above, the ProFunds VP utilize derivative instruments to achieve their investment objective during the year. The amounts shown in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities generally do not take into consideration the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements.

Asset (Liability) amounts shown in the table below represent amounts owed to (by) the ProFunds VP for swap agreements (other than centrally cleared CDS) and forward currency contracts as of December 31, 2023. These amounts may be collateralized by cash or financial instruments, segregated for the benefit of the ProFunds VP or the counterparties, depending on whether the related contracts are in an appreciated or depreciated position at year end. Amounts shown in the column labeled "Net Amount" represent the un-collateralized portions of these amounts at year end. Any un-collateralized amounts are due to timing differences related to market movements or subject to certain minimum thresholds for collateral movement, as further described above.

*The actual financial instruments and cash collateral (received) pledged may be in excess of the amounts shown in the table. The table only reflects collateral amounts up to the amount of the financial instrument disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

 

Securities Lending:

 

Certain ProFunds VP may lend securities to brokers, dealers and financial organizations in exchange for initial 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 security loaned will be secured continuously by collateral in the form of cash, money market instruments or U.S. Government securities with a market value of at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities. When a ProFund VP 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 ProFund VP in connection with these loans may be reinvested in a variety of short-term investments. Any non-cash collateral received by the ProFund VP in connection with these loans may not be sold or pledged by the ProFund VP and, accordingly, is not reflected in the ProFund VP's assets and liabilities. The ProFunds VP may incur fees and expenses in connection with the reinvestment of cash collateral. For security loans collateralized by cash, borrowers may be entitled to receive a fee based on the amount of collateral. The ProFunds VP are 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 loaned pass to the borrower, such loans may be recalled so that the securities may be voted by the ProFund VP if a material event affecting the ProFund VP's investment in the securities on loan is to occur. Security loans are subject to termination by the ProFund VP or the borrower at any time. No securities loan shall be made on behalf of a ProFund VP if, as a result, the aggregate value of all securities loaned by the particular ProFund VP exceeds one-third of the value of such ProFund VP'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 ProFund VP 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 ProFund VP 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 ProFund VP's securities as agreed, the

ProFund VP 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 ProFund VP. 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 ProFund VP could lose money if its short-term reinvestment of the collateral declines in value over the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day of the ProFund VP and any additional required collateral is delivered to the ProFund VP, or excess collateral returned by the ProFund VP, on the next business day.

Investment Transactions and Related Income

 

Throughout the reporting period, investment transactions are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date except in the case of depositary receipts, in which case dividends are recorded as soon as such information becomes available. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are determined using the specific identification method by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Gains or losses from class action settlements are recorded when such information becomes known or can be reasonably estimated; for non-recurring class action settlements, this generally occurs with the receipt or payment of cash consistent with the terms of such settlement.

 

Allocations

 

Expenses directly attributable to a ProFund VP are charged to that ProFund VP, while expenses which are attributable to more than one fund in the Trust, or jointly with an affiliate, are allocated among the respective funds in the Trust and/or affiliate based upon relative net assets or another reasonable basis.

 

Distributions to Shareholders

 

Each of the ProFunds VP (except ProFund Access VP High Yield, ProFund VP Government Money Market, ProFund VP Real Estate, and ProFund VP U.S. Government Plus) intends to declare and distribute net investment income at least annually, if any. ProFund VP Government Money Market and ProFund VP U.S. Government Plus declare dividends from net investment income daily, if any, and pay dividends on a monthly basis. ProFund Access VP High Yield and ProFund VP Real Estate declare and pay dividends from net investment income quarterly, if any. Net realized capital gains, if any, will be distributed annually.

 

The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. These "book/tax" differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., return of capital, net operating loss, distribution reclassification, and equalization), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales and mark-to-market on derivative instruments) do not require a reclassification. The ProFunds VP may utilize equalization for tax purposes and designate earnings and profits, including net realized gains distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares, as a part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. Distributions which exceed net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes but not for tax purposes are reported as distributions in excess of net

 

 

 

 

December 31, 2023 :: Notes to Financial Statements :: 317

 

investment income or net realized gains. To the extent they exceed net investment income and net realized capital gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distribution of capital.

 

Federal Income Taxes

 

Each of the ProFunds VP intends to continue to qualify each year as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. A RIC generally is not subject to federal income tax on income and gains distributed in a timely manner to its shareholders. The ProFunds VP intend to make timely distributions in order to avoid tax liability. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The ProFunds VP have a calendar tax year end.

 

Management of the ProFunds VP has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then, as applicable). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken and the ProFunds VP are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

 

Other

 

Expense offsets to custody fees that arise from credits on cash balances maintained on deposit are reflected on the Statement of Operations, as applicable, as "Fees paid indirectly."

 

3. Investment Valuation Summary

 

Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 (the "Rule"), the Trust's Board of Trustees designated the Advisor the "Valuation Designee" as contemplated by the Rule. The Valuation Designee is responsible for assessing and managing valuation risks, administering the pricing and valuation guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees, and overseeing pricing services utilized in valuing the Trust's security holdings, among other responsibilities outlined in the Rule. When the Advisor determines that the market price of a security is not readily available or deemed unreliable (e.g., an approved pricing service does not provide a price, a furnished price is in error, certain stale prices, or an event occurs that materially affects the furnished price), it may in good faith establish a fair value for that security in accordance with the pricing and valuation guidelines. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security. While the Trust's policy is intended to result in a calculation of a ProFund VP's NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing, the Trust cannot ensure that fair values determined by the Advisor or persons acting at their direction would accurately reflect the price that a ProFund VP could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing (for instance, in a forced or distressed sale). The prices used by a ProFund VP may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and the differences could be material to the financial statements. Depending on the source and relative significance of valuation inputs, these instruments may be classified as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, as described below.

 

The valuation techniques employed by the ProFunds VP, described below, maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. These valuation techniques distinguish between market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the ProFunds VP (observable inputs) and the ProFunds' VP own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available under the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The inputs used for valuing the ProFunds' VP investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

Level 1–quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
Level 2–other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayments speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3–significant unobservable inputs (including the ProFunds' VP own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments. For example, repurchase agreements are generally valued at amortized cost. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the valuation is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2. Fair value measurements may also require additional disclosure when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased, as well as when circumstances indicate that a transaction is not orderly. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The Trust determines transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the reporting period end.

 

Security prices are generally valued at their market value using information provided by a third-party pricing service or market quotations or other procedures approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees. 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 ("Nasdaq/NMS"), are valued at the official closing price, if available, or the last sale price, on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded. 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 official closing price, if applicable, on any other exchange or system. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as a Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. If there have been no sales for that day on any exchange or system, the security will be valued using fair value procedures in accordance with procedures approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees as described above.

 

Securities regularly traded in the OTC markets, including securities listed on an exchange, but that are primarily traded OTC other than those traded on the Nasdaq/NMS, are generally valued on the basis of the mean between the bid and asked quotes furnished by dealers actively trading those instruments. Fixed-income securities are generally valued according to prices as furnished by an independent pricing service, generally at the mean of the bid and asked quotes for those instruments. Short-term fixed-income securities maturing in sixty days or less, and of sufficient credit quality, may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. For the ProFund VP Government Money Market, investments are valued at amortized cost, in accordance with

 

 

 

 

318 :: Notes to Financial Statements :: December 31, 2023

 

Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. Under the amortized cost method, premium or discount, if any, is amortized or accreted, respectively, on a constant basis to the maturity of the security. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Derivatives are generally valued using independent pricing services and/or agreements with counterparties or other procedures approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees. Futures contracts are generally valued at their last sale price prior to the time at which the net asset value per share of a ProFund VP is determined and are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Swap agreements are generally valued using independent sources and/or agreements with counterparties. Forward currency contracts are valued at their quoted daily prices obtained from an independent pricing service. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. If there was no sale on that day, fair valuation procedures as previously described may be applied.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2023, there were no Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value, nor were there any transfers in or out of Level 3 investments for the year.

 

A summary of the valuations as of December 31, 2023, based upon the three levels defined above, is included in the table below while the breakdown, by category, of equity securities is disclosed on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments for each ProFund VP:

Under this agreement, the ProFunds VP (excluding ProFund VP U.S. Government Plus) each pay the Advisor a fee at an annualized rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of each respective ProFund VP. The ProFund VP U.S. Government Plus pays the Advisor a fee at an annualized rate of 0.50% of its average daily net assets.

 

In addition, subject to the condition that the aggregate daily net assets of the Trust be equal to or greater than $10 billion, the Advisor has agreed to the following fee reductions with respect to each individual ProFund VP: 0.025% of the ProFund VP's daily net assets in excess of $500 million to $1 billion, 0.05% of the ProFund VP's daily net assets in excess of $1 billion to $2 billion, and 0.075% of the ProFund VP's net assets in excess of $2 billion. During the year ended December 31, 2023, no Fund's annual investment advisory fee was subject to such reductions.

ProFunds Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Advisor, serves as the Trust's distributor. Under a Distribution and Shareholder Services Plan, adopted by the Trust's Board of Trustees pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, each ProFund VP may pay financial intermediaries such as broker-dealers, insurance companies and the Distributor up to 0.25%, on an annualized basis, of the average daily net assets as compensation for the distribution-related activities and/or shareholder services.

 

Distribution Fees were suspended throughout the year ended December 31, 2023 for ProFund VP Government Money Market to maintain a more competitive net yield. If ProFund VP Government Money Market had paid an amount equal to 0.25% of its average daily net assets, the Distribution Fees would have been $87,817 for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Distributor may reinstate all or a portion of the Distribution Fees for ProFund VP Government Money Market at any time.

 

The Advisor, pursuant to a separate Management Services Agreement, performs certain client support services and other administrative services on behalf of the ProFunds VP. For these services, each ProFund VP pays the Advisor a fee at the annual rate of 0.10% of its average daily net assets.

 

The Trust, on behalf of the ProFunds VP, has entered into an administrative services agreement with certain insurance companies, pursuant to which the insurance companies will provide administrative services with respect to the ProFunds VP. For these services, the ProFunds VP may pay the insurance companies administrative services fees, a monthly/quarterly fee equal on an annual basis of up to 0.35% of their average daily net assets as reflected on the Statement of Operations as "Administrative services fees." Throughout the year ended December 31, 2023, the administrative services fees of ProFund VP Government Money Market were suspended to maintain a more competitive net yield. If ProFund VP Government Money Market had paid an amount equal to the full amount per the administrative services agreements, the administrative services fees would have been $85,062 for the year ended December 31, 2023. All or a portion of the Administrative services fees of ProFund VP Government Money Market may be reinstated at any time.

 

Certain Officers and a Trustee of the Trust are affiliated with the Advisor or the Administrator. Except as noted below with respect to the Trust's Chief Compliance Officer, such Officers and Trustee receive no compensation from the ProFunds VP for serving in their respective roles. The Trust, together with affiliated Trusts, pays each Independent Trustee compensation for their services at an annual rate of $325,000, inclusive of all meetings. During the year ended December 31, 2023, actual Trustee compensation was $975,000 in aggregate from the Trust and affiliated trusts. There are certain employees of the Advisor, such as the Trust's Chief Compliance Officer and staff who administer the Trust's compliance program, in which the ProFunds VP reimburse the Advisor for their related compensation and certain other expenses incurred as reflected on the Statement of Operations as "Compliance services fees."

 

The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive advisory and management services fees, and if necessary, reimburse certain other expenses of the ProFunds VP in order to limit the annual operating expenses (exclusive of brokerage costs, interest, taxes, dividends (including dividend expenses on securities sold short), litigation, indemnification, and extraordinary expenses) to an annualized rate of 1.35% of the average daily net assets of ProFund VP Government Money Market, 1.38% of the average daily net assets of ProFund VP U.S. Government Plus and 1.68% of the average daily net assets of each other ProFund VP. For the non-money market ProFunds VP, these expense limitations remain in effect until at least April 30, 2024.

 

For ProFund VP Government Money Market, effective October 1, 2023, the Advisor amended its contractual expense limitation agreement, reducing the expense limit from 1.35% to 0.90% of the average daily net assets of the ProFund VP. For ProFund VP Government Money Market, this amended expense limitation remains in effect until at least April 30, 2025. All other terms of the amended contractual expense limitation for the ProFund VP Government Money Market are identical to the preceding contractual expense limitation.

 

The Advisor may recoup the advisory and management services fees contractually waived or limited and other expenses reimbursed by it within three years from the contractual period; however, such recoupment will be limited to the lesser of any expense limitation in place at the time of recoupment or the expense limitation in place at the time of waiver or reimbursement. Any amounts recouped by the Advisor during the year are reflected on the Statement of Operations as "Recoupment of prior expenses reduced by the Advisor." As of December 31, 2023, the recoupments that may potentially be made by the ProFunds VP are as shown in the tables below.

6. Investment Risks

 

Some risks apply to all ProFunds VP, while others are specific to the investment strategy of certain ProFunds VP. Each ProFund VP may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks. This section discusses certain common principal risks encountered by the ProFunds VP. The risks are presented in an order intended to facilitate readability, and their order does not imply that the realization of one risk is likely to occur more frequently than another risk, nor does it imply that the realization of one risk is likely to have a greater adverse impact than another risk.

 

Risks Associated with the Use of Derivatives

 

Certain ProFunds VP may obtain investment exposure through derivatives. Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may expose the ProFund VP to greater risks and may result in larger losses or smaller gains than investing directly in the reference asset(s) underlying those derivatives (e.g., securities in the Index). These risks include counterparty risk, liquidity risk and increased correlation risk. When the ProFund VP uses derivatives, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the reference asset(s) underlying the derivative (e.g., securities in the Index) and the derivative, which may prevent the ProFund VP from achieving its investment objective. Because derivatives often require only a limited initial investment, the use of derivatives also may expose the ProFund VP to losses in excess of those amounts initially invested.

 

Certain ProFunds VP may use a combination of swaps on the Index and swaps on an ETF that is designed to track the performance of the Index. The performance of an ETF may not track the performance of the Index due to embedded costs and other factors. Thus, to the extent the ProFund VP invests in swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, the ProFund VP may be subject to greater correlation risk and may not achieve as high a degree of correlation with the Index as it would if the ProFund VP only used swaps on the Index.

 

 

 

 

December 31, 2023 :: Notes to Financial Statements :: 327

 

Moreover, with respect to the use of swap agreements, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in a ProFund VP's net assets, the terms of a swap agreement between the ProFund VP and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the ProFund VP. In that event, the ProFund VP may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve the desired exposure consistent with the ProFund VP's investment objective. This, in turn, may prevent the ProFund VP from achieving its investment objective, even if the Index reverses all or a portion of its intraday move by the end of the day. As a result, the value of an investment in the ProFund VP may change quickly and without warning. Any costs associated with using derivatives will also have the effect of lowering the ProFund VP's return.

 

Compounding Risk

 

Certain ProFunds VP are "geared" funds ("Geared Funds") in the sense that the ProFund VP has an investment objective to match a multiple, the inverse, or an inverse multiple of the performance of a benchmark on a single day, not for any other period. A "single day" is measured from the time a ProFund VP calculates its net asset value ("NAV") to the time of the ProFund VP's next NAV calculation. These Geared Funds are subject to all of the correlation risks described below. In addition, because these ProFunds VP have a single day investment objective, for periods greater than one day, the effect of compounding may cause the performance of a ProFund VP to vary from the benchmark performance (or the inverse of the benchmark performance) times the stated multiple in the ProFund VP objective, as applicable, before accounting for fees and ProFund VP expenses. As explained in greater detail in their Prospectuses, as a result of compounding, Geared Funds are unlikely to provide a simple multiple (e.g. -1x, 2x, or -2x) of a benchmark's return over periods longer than a single day.

 

Leverage Risk

 

Certain ProFunds VP 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 the ProFunds VP that utilize leverage include either multipliers of 2x or 1.25x (or sometimes the inverse thereof), a single day adverse price movement of more than 50% or 80%, respectively, in a relevant benchmark, could result in the total loss of an investor's investment.

 

Active Investor Risk

 

Each ProFund VP permits short-term trading of its securities. In addition, the Advisor expects a significant portion of the assets invested in a ProFund VP to come from professional money managers and investors who use the ProFund VP as part of active trading or tactical asset allocation strategies. These strategies often call for frequent trading to take advantage of anticipated changes in market conditions, which could increase portfolio turnover, and may result in additional costs for the ProFund VP. In addition, large movements of assets into and out of the ProFund VP may have a negative impact on the ProFund VP's ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. In certain circumstances, the ProFund VP's expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in the ProFund VP's prospectus.

 

Active Management Risk

 

ProFund Access VP High Yield Fund is actively managed, and its performance reflects the investment decisions that the Advisor makes for the ProFund. The Advisor's judgements about the ProFund VP's investments may prove to be incorrect. If the investments selected and strategies employed by the ProFund VP fail to produce the intended results, the ProFund VP could underperform or have negative returns as compared to other funds with a similar investment objective and/or strategies.

 

Concentration Risk

 

Certain non-money market ProFunds VP may be subject to concentration risk. Concentration risk results from maintaining concentrated exposure to certain types of issuers, industries, market sectors, countries or geographical regions. A ProFund VP that concentrates its investments will be more susceptible to risks associated with that concentration. With respect to the Sector ProFunds VP, a ProFund VP may have significant exposure to an individual industry that constitutes a significant portion of that ProFund VP's benchmark. Such a ProFund VP will be more susceptible to the risks associated with that specific industry, which may be different from the risks generally associated with other benchmarks. Each ProFund VP will concentrate its investments in a particular industry or group of industries to approximately the same extent as its benchmark, up to the extent permitted by applicable regulatory guidance. Additionally, certain ProFunds VP that focus their investments in particular countries or geographic regions may be particularly susceptible to economic, political or regulatory events affecting those countries or regions. These ProFunds VP may be more volatile than a more geographically diversified ProFund VP. The Schedule of Portfolio Investments includes information on each ProFund VP's holdings, including industry and/or geographical composition, as relevant.

 

Correlation Risk

 

There is no guarantee that a ProFund VP will achieve a high degree of correlation with its benchmark. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent a ProFund VP from achieving its investment objective, and the percentage change of the ProFund VP's NAV each day may differ, perhaps significantly, from the percentage change of the ProFund VP'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.

 

In order to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index, a ProFund VP seeks to rebalance its portfolio daily to keep exposure consistent with its investment objective. Being materially under- or overexposed to the Index may prevent the ProFund VP from achieving a high degree of correlation with the Index. Market disruptions or closure, regulatory restrictions, market volatility and other factors will adversely affect the ProFund VP's ability to adjust exposure to requisite levels. The target amount of portfolio

 

 

 

 

328 :: Notes to Financial Statements :: December 31, 2023

 

exposure is impacted dynamically by the Index's movements. Because of this, it is unlikely that the ProFund VP will have perfect leveraged exposure at the end of each day and the likelihood of being materially under- or overexposed is higher on days when the Index level is volatile at or near the close of the trading day.

 

A number of other factors may adversely affect a ProFund VP'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, accounting standards and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities or financial instruments in which a ProFund VP invests. A ProFund VP may not have investment exposure to all securities in its benchmark, or its weighting of investment exposure to stocks or industries may be different from that of the benchmark. In addition, a ProFund VP may invest in securities not included in the benchmark or in financial instruments. Each ProFund VP 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 ProFund VP's correlation with its benchmark. A ProFund VP may also be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the ProFund VP, potentially resulting in the ProFund VP being over- or underexposed to its benchmark, and may be impacted by index reconstitutions and index rebalancing events. Additionally, a ProFund VP's underlying holdings or reference assets may trade on markets that may or may not be open on the same day as the ProFund VP. Each ProFund VP (other than the Classic ProFunds VP, the Sector ProFunds VP, 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 investment objective. Any of these factors could decrease correlation between the performance of a ProFund VP and may hinder a ProFund VP's ability to meet its investment objective on or around that day.

 

Credit Default Swaps (CDS) Risk

 

While the Profund Access VP High Yield will normally be a net "seller" of CDS, at times the ProFund Access VP High Yield may be a net "buyer" of CDS. When the ProFund VP is a seller of credit protection, upon the occurrence of a credit event, the counterparty to the ProFund VP will have an obligation to pay the full notional value of a defaulted reference entity less recovery value. When the ProFund VP is a buyer of credit protection, upon the occurrence of a credit event, the counterparty to the ProFund VP will have an obligation to pay the full notional value of a defaulted reference entity less recovery value. Recovery values for CDS are generally determined via an auction process to determine the final price for a given reference entity. Although, the ProFund VP intends, as practicable, to obtain exposure through centrally cleared CDS, an active market may not exist for any of the CDS in which the ProFund VP invests or in the reference entities subject to the CDS. As a result, the ProFund VP's ability to maximize returns or minimize losses on such CDS may be impaired. Other risks of CDS include difficulty in valuation due to the lack of pricing transparency and the risk that changes in the value of the CDS do not reflect changes in the credit quality of the underlying reference entities or may otherwise perform differently than expected given market conditions. Because the ProFund VP may use a single counterparty or a small number of counterparties, certain CDS involve many reference entities and there are no limitations on the notional amount established for the CDS. As a result, counterparty risk may be amplified.

 

Counterparty Risk

 

A ProFund VP that will invest in financial instruments involving third parties (i.e., counterparties) is subject to counterparty risk. The use of financial instruments, such as swap agreements or futures contracts, involves risks that are different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. Certain ProFunds VP will be subject to credit risk (i.e., the risk that a counterparty is unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its contractual obligations) with respect to the amount they expect to receive from counterparties to financial instruments and repurchase agreements entered into by the ProFunds VP. Each ProFund VP generally structures the agreement such that either party can terminate the contract without penalty prior to the termination date. A ProFund VP may be negatively impacted if a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations, the value of an investment in each ProFund VP may decline. A ProFund VP may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in a bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding and a ProFund VP may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances.

 

The ProFunds VP typically enter into transactions with counterparties whose credit rating at the time of the transaction is investment grade, as determined by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization, or, if unrated, judged by the Advisor to be of comparable quality. These are usually major, global financial institutions. Although the counterparty to an exchange-traded futures contract is often backed by a futures commission merchant ("FCM") or clearing organization that is further backed by a group of financial institutions, there may be instances in which the FCM or the clearing organization could fail to perform its obligations, causing significant losses to the ProFund VP. For example, a ProFund VP could lose margin payments it has deposited with a clearing organization as well as gains owed but not paid to the ProFund VP if the clearing organization becomes insolvent or otherwise fails to perform its obligations.

 

Under current 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, 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 the case of cleared swaps, customers of a FCM in bankruptcy are entitled to recover assets specifically attributable to them pursuant to new CFTC regulations, but may nevertheless risk loss of some or all of their assets due to accounting or operational issues or due to legal risk in connection with the application of bankruptcy law to cleared swaps.

 

Cybersecurity Risk

 

With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet and the dependence on computer systems to perform necessary business functions, each ProFund VP, financial intermediaries, service

 

 

 

 

December 31, 2023 :: Notes to Financial Statements :: 329

 

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 ProFund VP'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 ProFund VP invests, have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, the inability of ProFund VP 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 ProFund VP's ability to calculate its NAV, cause the release of private shareholder information or confidential ProFund VP information, impede trading, cause reputational damage, and subject the ProFund VP to regulatory fines, reputational damage, 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. A ProFund VP and its shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result. While a ProFund VP 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 ProFund VP invests, which could result in material adverse consequences for such issuers, and may cause the ProFund VP's investments in such securities to lose value. In addition, cyber attacks involving a counterparty to a ProFund VP could affect such a counterparty's ability to meets it obligations to the ProFund VP, which may result in losses to the ProFund VP and its shareholders. The Advisor and the Trust do not control the cybersecurity plans and systems put in place by third party service providers, and such third party service providers may have no or limited indemnification obligations to the Advisor or to a ProFund VP.

 

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, the novel coronavirus (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 as natural disaster and health crises could exacerbate political, social, and economic risks previously mentioned, 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 ProFund VP 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 ProFund VP may have difficulty achieving its investment objective which may adversely impact 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 ProFund VP's investment advisor and third party service providers), sectors, industries, markets, securities and commodity exchanges, currencies, interest and inflation rates, credit ratings, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of the ProFund VP's investments. These factors can cause substantial market volatility, exchange trading suspensions and closures and can impact the ability of the ProFund VP to complete redemptions and otherwise affect ProFund VP performance and ProFund VP trading in the secondary market. A widespread crisis may also affect the global economy in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen at the current time. How long such events will last and whether they will continue or recur cannot be predicted. Impacts from these events could have significant impact on the ProFund VP's performance, resulting in losses to your investment.

 

Risk of Global Economic Shock

 

Widespread disease, including public health disruptions, pandemics and epidemics (for example, COVID-19 including its variants), 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 ProFund VP and its investments. Additionally, war, military conflicts, sanctions, acts of terrorism, sustained elevated inflation, supply chain issues or other events could have a significant negative impact on global financial markets and economies. 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 ProFund VP's investments, even beyond any direct exposure a ProFund VP 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. How long such tensions and related events will last cannot be predicted. These tensions and any related events could have significant impact on a ProFund VP's performance and the value of an investment in a ProFund VP.

 

 

 

 

330 :: Notes to Financial Statements :: December 31, 2023

 

Debt Instruments Risk

 

The ProFunds VP may invest in, or seek exposure to, debt instruments. 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 fixed income market. Additionally, the credit quality of the issuer of a debt instrument (including the risk of a potential default) can also affect the price of a debt instrument. The perceived or actual inability of issuers, guarantors, or liquidity providers of debt instruments to make scheduled interest payments can negatively impact the performance of the ProFund VP. Debt instruments may have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates and other factors.

 

Typically, the price of outstanding debt instruments falls 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. 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 ProFund VP may be required to reinvest the proceeds received at lower interest rates. These factors may cause the value of an investment in the ProFund VP to change. Also, the securities of certain U.S. government agencies, authorities or instrumentalities are neither issued by nor guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. government, and may be exposed to more credit risk than those issued by and guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. government. All U.S. government securities are subject to credit risk. 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. Such a credit event may also adversely impact the financial markets. Certain ProFunds VP are inversely correlated to bond prices and will typically respond differently to the above factors than would a ProFund VP positively correlated to bond prices.

 

High Yield Risk

 

Investment in or exposure to high yield (lower rated) debt instruments (also known as "junk bonds") may involve greater levels of interest rate, credit, 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 predominantly 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). Less active markets may diminish a ProFund VP's ability to obtain accurate market quotations when valuing the portfolio securities and thereby give rise to valuation risk. 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, the ProFund VP would have to replace the security with a lower yielding security, resulting in a decreased return for investors. 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 a ProFund VP's performance.

 

Index Performance Risk

 

Certain ProFunds VP linked to an index will be subject to index performance risk. There is no guarantee or assurance that the methodology used by the third-party provider to create the Index will result in the ProFund VP achieving high, or even positive, returns. Further, there can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error. It is also possible that the value of the Index may be subject to intentional manipulation by third-party market participants. The Index may underperform, and the ProFund VP could lose value, while other indices or measures of market performance increase in value.

 

Financing Rates Associated with Derivatives

 

The performance of ProFunds VP that use derivatives was impacted by the related financing costs. Financial instruments such as futures contracts carry implied financing costs. Forward and swap financing rates are negotiated between the ProFunds VP and their counterparties, and are set at the Fed Funds rate ("FEDL01") plus or minus a negotiated spread. The Fed Funds rate appreciated from 4.50% to 5.50% during the fiscal year. Each ProFund VP with long exposure via derivatives was generally negatively affected by financing rates. Conversely, most ProFunds VP with short/inverse derivative exposure generally benefited from financing rates.

 

Inflation Risk

 

Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from a ProFund VP's investments will be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of payments at future dates. As inflation increases, the real value of a ProFund VP's portfolio could decline. Inflation rates may change frequently and drastically as a result of various factors and the ProFund VP's investments may not keep pace with inflation, which may result in loses to the ProFund VP investors or adversely affect the real value of shareholders' investments in a ProFund VP. Inflation has recently increased and it cannot be predicted whether it may decline.

 

Liquidity Risk

 

In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the securities or financial instruments in which a ProFund VP invests, the ProFunds VP might not be able to acquire or dispose of certain holdings quickly or at prices that represent true fair value in the judgment of the Advisor. Markets for the securities or financial instruments in which a ProFund VP invests may be disrupted by a number of events, including but not limited

 

 

 

 

December 31, 2023 :: Notes to Financial Statements :: 331

 

to economic crises, natural disasters, 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 securities would likely reduce the liquidity of those securities. These situations may prevent a ProFund VP from limiting losses, realizing gains, or from achieving a high correlation (or inverse correlation) with its underlying benchmark.

*  All or a portion are limited as a result of changes in the ProFund VP ownership during the year and in prior years.

 

Unused limitations accumulate and increase limited CLCFs available for use in offsetting net capital gains. The tax character of current year distribution paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (deficit) and any CLCFs will be determined at the end of the current tax year. The Board does not intend to authorize a distribution of any realized gain for a ProFund VP until any applicable CLCF has been offset or expires.

Effective November 18, 2019, the ProFund VP Internet underwent a 3-for-1 share split, the ProFund VP Short Dow 30, the ProFund VP Short International, and the ProFund VP Short Nasdaq-100 each underwent a 1-for-4 reverse share split, and the ProFund VP UltraShort Dow 30 underwent a 1-for-8 reverse share split.

 

The effect of the share split transactions was to multiply the number of outstanding shares of the ProFund VP by the respective split factor, with a corresponding decrease in net asset value per share; and the effect of the reverse share split transactions was to divide the number of outstanding shares of the ProFunds VP by the respective reverse split factor, with a corresponding increase in the net asset value per share. These transactions did not change the net assets of these ProFunds VP or the value of a shareholder's investment.

 

The historical share transactions presented in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets and per share data presented in the Financial Highlights have been adjusted retroactively to give effect to the share splits and reverse share splits.

 

9. Shareholder Concentration

 

Ownership of more than 25% of the voting securities for a fund creates presumptions of control of the fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. As of December 31, 2023, the Advisor was deemed a significant shareholder of each of ProFund VP Dow 30, ProFund VP Short Dow 30 , and ProFund VP UltraShort Dow 30 as the Advisor's ownership of total shares outstanding of each ProFund VP was 41%, 66%, and 93% respectively.

 

10. Subsequent Events

 

The ProFunds VP have evaluated the need for additional disclosures or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued. Based on this evaluation, there were no subsequent events to report that would have a material impact on the ProFunds VP's financial statements.

December 31, 2023 :: Board Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement :: 337

 

At a meeting held on September 12-13, 2023, the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of ProFunds (the "Trust") considered the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement between ProFund Advisors LLC (the "Advisor") and the Trust, on behalf of each of its operational series (each a "Fund" and collectively the "Funds") (the "Advisory Agreement"). Certain Funds are designed to match, before fees and expenses, the performance of an underlying index both on a single day and over time (each a "Matching Fund" and, collectively, the "Matching Funds"). Certain other Funds are actively managed and are designed to meet a specified investment objective (each an "Active Fund" and, collectively, the "Active Funds"). Certain other Funds are "geared" funds that are designed to seek daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the inverse (-1x), a multiple (i.e., 1.25x, 1.50x or 2x), or an inverse multiple (i.e., -1.25x or -2x) of the daily performance of an index or security (each a "Geared Fund" and, collectively, the "Geared Funds").

 

The Board did not identify any particular information that was most relevant to its consideration to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement and each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors.

 

The Board received a memorandum from independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees regarding the Board's responsibilities under state and federal law with respect to the Board's consideration of the renewal or approval of investment advisory agreements. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel throughout the process, including about the legal standards applicable to their review.

 

In response to a request from the Independent Trustees, the Advisor provided information for the Board to consider relating to the continuation of the Advisory Agreement, including information that addressed, among other things:

 

(i)the nature, extent and quality of the services that were provided or proposed to be provided by the Advisor;
(ii)the costs of the services to be provided and the profits realized by the Advisor;
(iii)the investment performance of the Funds and the Advisor;
(iv)the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as the Funds grow and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of Fund shareholders; and
(v)other benefits to the Advisor and/or its affiliates from the relationship to the Funds.

 

It was noted that the Independent Trustees requested, and received, information from the Advisor concerning the Funds. In response to the request from the Independent Trustees, the Advisor provided information and reports relevant to the continuation of the Advisory Agreement, including, among other things:

 

information about the advisory services that were being provided by the Advisor with respect to the Funds;
the Advisor's Form ADV;
biographies of the employees of the Advisor who are primarily responsible for providing investment advisory services to the Funds;
information regarding each component of the contractual fee rates and actual fee rates for the prior fiscal year;
information regarding advisory fees earned versus advisory fees waived for previous periods;
performance information for prior periods;
comparative industry fee data;
information about fees and other amounts that were received by the Advisor and its affiliates for non-advisory services with respect to the Funds;
information regarding the Advisor's trade allocation and best execution policies and procedures;
information about the financial condition of the Advisor;
information regarding how the Advisor monitors each Fund's compliance with regulatory requirements and Trust procedures; and
the Advisor's reputation, expertise and resources.

 

The Trustees retained the services of an independent consultant to assist in selecting a universe of peer group funds for each Fund (the "Peer Group") with similar investment strategies, as well as to help them in evaluating information with respect to certain aspects of their review, including the reasonableness of fees paid by the Funds. The Board evaluated all information available to it on a Fund- by-Fund basis, and its determinations were made separately with respect to each Fund.

 

In addition to the information provided and discussions that occurred at the meeting at which the Board took action regarding the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, the Board also considered information they received throughout the year as part of its regular oversight of the Funds.

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of the Advisor's Services

 

The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services performed by the Advisor. The Board noted there were expected to be no significant differences between the scope of services provided by the Advisor in the past year and those to be provided in the upcoming year. The Board focused on the quality of the personnel and operations at the Advisor and the systems and processes required to manage the Funds effectively. In particular, the Board considered the following:

 

the investment objective of each Fund, the Advisor's description of the skills needed to manage each Fund and the Advisor's success in achieving the investment objectives of each Fund;
the key features of the Funds, including the unique asset classes and investment strategies of certain Funds, as well as the employment of optimization/sampling techniques necessary to manage certain Funds;
with respect to the Geared Funds, the fact that to maintain exposure consistent with each Geared Fund's daily investment objective, each Geared Fund needs to be rebalanced each day, an activity not typical of traditional index funds;
the size and experience of the Advisor's portfolio staff and the Advisor's ability to recruit, train and retain personnel with relevant experience and the specific expertise necessary to manage the Funds;
the structure of the portfolio Advisor's staff compensation program and the incentives it is intended to provide;
the collateral, credit and cash management functions at the Advisor and enhancements made in these areas in recent years;

 

 

 

 

338 :: Board Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement :: December 31, 2023

 

the Advisor's development of investment strategies, including those involving the use of complex financial instruments and processes that maximize the Funds' ability to meet their stated investment objectives and minimize counterparty risk;
the Advisor's ability to monitor compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's liquidity rule, derivatives rule and valuation requirements, among other applicable regulatory requirements;
a continued investment in personnel and technology by the Advisor that would generally improve capacity and efficiency as well as improvements related to remote and hybrid working conditions;
for certain Bitcoin-linked Funds, the Advisor's familiarity with digital assets and Bitcoin in particular, as well as processes related to assessing risk and liquidity with respect to investments in Bitcoin futures, the Advisor's familiarity with the market for Bitcoin futures and its ability to manage the Funds and obtain appropriate exposure in that market, and the potential benefits of a futures-based approach; and
information regarding allocation of Fund brokerage and the selection of counterparties for Fund portfolio transactions, as well as the Advisor's ability to negotiate generally favorable terms with swap counterparties on behalf of various Funds.

 

The Board considered that the Advisor oversees the operations of the Funds and provides compliance services to the Funds. The Board also reviewed the Advisor's compliance program, including specific activities associated with the Funds. The Board discussed the compliance program with the Funds' Chief Compliance Officer (the "CCO"). The Board and the CCO discussed the CCO's evaluation of the operation of the Advisor's compliance program, and efforts with respect to the Funds, changes made to the Advisor's compliance program since the CCO's last annual report to the Board, and whether the CCO believed additional enhancements to the compliance program were warranted. The Board discussed compliance issues reported to the Board during the prior year and the remediation of such issues. The Board discussed key risk areas identified by the CCO and how such risks are addressed by the compliance program.

 

Based upon its review, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded with respect to each Fund that (i) the investment advisory services provided by the Advisor with respect to the Fund were of high quality, (ii) the Advisor achieved the investment goals of the Fund, (iii) the Advisor's services benefited the Fund's shareholders, particularly in light of the nature of the Fund and the services required to support each such Fund, and (iv) they were generally satisfied with the nature, quality and extent of services provided to the Fund by the Advisor.

 

Comparison of Services and Fees

 

The Advisor presented information about the fairness and reasonableness of the investment advisory fees payable to the Advisor in light of the investment advisory services provided, the costs of these services and the comparability to the fees paid by other investment companies, including mutual funds or other investment vehicles offering strategies similar in nature and extent to the Funds. The Board discussed the methodology used to prepare the comparative fee data for each Fund and the potential limitations of such data. The Board discussed the difficulty in compiling the comparative data and Peer Group information because, by design, many of the Funds are unique and few, if any, funds offering substantially similar investment objectives and strategies exist. The Board considered the Advisor's representation that it found the Peer Group compiled by the independent consultant to be appropriate but acknowledged the existence of certain differences between certain Funds and their peers. The Board noted that the methodology used to compile the Peer Group and comparative data was identical to that used in prior years and is continually re-evaluated. Notwithstanding the challenge associated with Peer Group and data compilation, the Board found the comparative information it received to be useful in its evaluation of the reasonableness of the Advisor's fees. The Advisor presented information about the significant drivers of cost and also examined the costs to investors to achieve the objectives of the Funds on their own and noted that it would be more expensive or impractical to do so.

 

The Board also considered the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements currently in place for each Fund and considered the net advisory fees paid by the Funds after taking waivers and reimbursements into account.

 

The Board considered and discussed the sub-advisory fees charged and the services provided by the Advisor to the one mutual fund it serves as sub-adviser. The Board recognized that the scope of services provided by the Advisor to the mutual fund is narrower than the services provided to the Funds for several reasons, including that the Advisor performs only services delegated to it by the investment adviser to the mutual fund and does not provide other services like daily cash management, securities lending, marketing, client services, collateral management and counterparty management. The Board noted that for these reasons it is difficult to make comparisons of fees charged to the sub-advised mutual fund and the Funds.

 

The Board also recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of fees across fund complexes because there may be variations in services that are included in the fees paid by other mutual funds.

 

The Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that, with respect to the Funds, the investment advisory fees and any other compensation payable to the Advisor were reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services provided and that the continuation of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the shareholders of the Funds.

 

Investment Performance of the Funds and the Advisor

 

The Board considered total return information for each Fund and focused on the correlation of returns to benchmark information for each Geared Fund for the 3-month, 1-year, 5-year, 10-year and since inception periods ended June 30, 2023, as applicable. The Board also considered performance information provided at regular Board meetings throughout the year. The Board noted that correlation of returns for each Geared Fund remained strong during the applicable periods and that Geared Fund performance versus target performance was generally within expected ranges. The Board further noted that Matching Fund performance versus benchmark index performance was also generally within expected ranges during the applicable periods. The Board noted that, given the nature of the Funds that are Matching Funds or Geared Funds, the correlation of such Fund's performance with the performance

 

 

 

 

December 31, 2023 :: Board Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement :: 339

 

of its underlying benchmark (or a relevant inverse or multiple thereof) was a more meaningful factor than the Fund's total return.

 

With regard to the Active Funds, the Board considered that the Access Flex High Yield ProFund outperformed its Peer Group and index for the one-year and five-year periods ended June 30, 2023, and underperformed its Peer Group and index for the three-year and ten-year periods ended June 30, 2023. In regard to the Access Flex Bear High Yield ProFund, the Board considered that for each of the one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended June 30, 2023, the Fund underperformed its Peer Group and benchmark index.

 

With regard to the Access VP High Yield Fund, the Board noted that for three-year and five-year periods ended June 30, 2023, the Fund outperformed its Peer Group and underperformed its Peer Group for the one-year and ten-year periods ended June 30, 2023. The Fund underperformed its benchmark index for the one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year periods.

 

With regard to the Bitcoin Strategy ProFund, the Board noted that for the one-year period ended June 30, 2023, the Fund closely tracked its benchmark index and outperformed its Peer Group average and universe average.

 

After reviewing the performance of the Funds, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded, in light of the foregoing factors, that the performance of the Funds was satisfactory.

 

With regard to the VP Government Money Market Fund, the Board considered that the Advisor has contractually undertaken to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to maintain a minimum yield floor limit at 0.02% and has also contractually agreed to waive total operating expenses to 0.90% where previously it had been contractually capped at 1.35%. The Advisor had voluntarily reduced the prior contractual cap to 0.90%. The Board noted that under the minimum yield agreement there have been no payments or deferred fee or reimbursed expenses from the Fund since March 4, 2020. The Advisor also confirmed it will not recoup any amounts of fees previously waived or expenses previously reimbursed without first notifying the Independent Trustees.

 

Profitability

 

The Board considered and discussed with representatives of the Advisor the significant drivers of cost incurred by or expected to be incurred by the Advisor in managing the Funds, including, but not limited to, intellectual capital, regulatory compliance, daily portfolio rebalancing of the Geared Funds, and entrepreneurial risk, and considered the costs that investors likely would incur if they independently sought to achieve the objectives of the Funds. The Board considered and discussed with representatives of the Advisor the profitability to the Advisor of its management of each of the Funds. The Board also discussed the Advisor's profit margin, including the expense allocation methodology used in the Advisor's profitability analysis. It was noted that the methodology for determining profitability was conducted in a similar fashion as the prior year.

 

The Independent Trustees met in executive session to discuss and evaluate the information provided by the Advisor and the independent consultant. Among other things, the Independent Trustees reviewed information regarding the financial condition and profitability of the Advisor, including the methodologies involved in calculating profitability.

 

Based on its review, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the profitability to the Advisor of the Advisory Agreement was reasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to each Fund.

 

Economies of Scale

 

The Board discussed with representatives of the Advisor potential economies of scale in connection with the management and operation of each Fund as well as the effect of the contractual expense limitations undertaken by the Advisor. The Board considered that each Fund covered by the Advisory Agreement pays the Advisor an annual investment advisory fee of 0.75% of average daily net assets (other than the Ultra Japan ProFund and the UltraShort Japan ProFund, each of which pay 0.90%, the Nasdaq-100 ProFund which pays 0.70%, the ProFund V.P. U.S. Government Plus, which pays 0.50% and the Bitcoin Strategy ProFund and Short Bitcoin Strategy ProFund which each pay 0.45%).

 

The Board considered that, subject to the condition that the aggregate daily net assets of the Trust be equal to or greater than $10 billion, the Advisor has agreed to reduce each Fund's annual investment advisory fee by 0.025% on non-money market mutual fund net 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. The Board considered that for the periods presented, none of the Funds were subject to advisory fee reductions as a result of breakpoint fee reductions.

 

The Board indicated to the Advisor that it will continue to consider and evaluate on an ongoing basis potential economies of scale and how Fund shareholders might benefit from those economies of scale.

 

Other Benefits

 

The Board also considered the Advisor's non-advisory services, including those performed under a separate Management Services Agreement. The Board considered the fact that the Geared Funds' shareholders, and the shareholders of certain Matching Funds, tend to be active traders, which adds a level of complexity to the management of those Funds as the Advisor needs to account for significant asset flows in and out of the Funds. The Board also considered any indirect, or "fall-out," benefits that the Advisor or its affiliates derived from their relationship to the Funds but concluded that such benefits were relatively insignificant.

 

The Board considered that ProFund Distributors, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Advisor, earns fees from the Funds for providing services under a Distribution and Shareholder Services Plan.

 

Conclusions

 

Based on, but not limited to, the above considerations and determinations, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, determined that the Agreement for the Funds is fair and reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services to be performed, the fee rates to be paid, the Advisor's expenses and such other matters as the Board considered relevant in the exercise of its business judgement. Accordingly, the Board concluded that the continuation of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the shareholders of the Funds. On this basis, the Board unanimously voted in favor of the renewal of the Advisory Agreement.
