* The ProFunds and Access Trust portfolios permit frequent transfers. Frequent transfers may increase portfolio turnover. A high level of portfolio turnover may negatively impact performance by increasing transaction costs. In addition, large movements of assets into and out of a ProFunds and/or Access Trust portfolio may negatively impact a fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses. See “Disruptive Trading and Market Timing” in your prospectus. Some ProFunds and Access Trust portfolios may use investment techniques not associated with most mutual fund portfolios. Investors in the ProFunds and/or Access Trust portfolios will bear additional investment risks. See the ProFunds and Access Trust portfolio prospectuses for a description of the investment objectives and risks associated with investing in the ProFunds and Access Trust portfolios.
