ProShares Nanotechnology ETF

ProShares Nanotechnology ETF (TINY) tracks the Solactive Nanotechnology Index: 30 companies chosen by an automated scan of company filings for ties to nanotechnology, the use of matter at the atomic and molecular level. It offers a narrow, global theme, with about 21% in Japanese companies as of August 31, 2026. At 0.58% a year, it costs more than the 0.40% average of similar funds, and it is far smaller than those funds.

• Over the year to Oct 27, 2026, TINY returned +27.3%, 7th of 7 among similar funds.
• Its worst full calendar year was 2022 (-34.1%); its best was 2023 (+48.0%).
• The deepest fall in its price history was 43.8% (Dec 8, 2021 to Oct 14, 2022), recovered by Jan 24, 2024.

As of Aug 31, 2026, the fund held 30 securities; the ten largest made up 52.02% of assets.

• Over the three months to Aug 31, 2026, investors added a net $7.3M (creations minus redemptions, per the N-PORT report).
• Monthly total returns reported for that quarter: +15.43%, -19.34%, -1.30%.

The fund aims to match the Solactive Nanotechnology Index, before fees and expenses. Index provider Solactive AG uses natural language processing, software that reads text, to scan company filings and other public information for signs of nanotechnology exposure. That includes making nanotechnology, working in fields such as nanomedicine, nanomaterials or nanoelectronics, or developing technology that advances the field. Solactive reviews each company found and drops any without relevant business exposure. It then ranks the rest by exposure, and the top 30 make the index.

Companies are weighted by market value (share price times shares outstanding), with any one company capped at 4.5%. Solactive resets the list and weights every May and November, so weights can drift above the cap between resets. As of August 31, 2026, Bruker was the largest holding at 7.1%, followed by SCREEN Holdings, ASML, Nikon and Lam Research at 5% to 6% each; the top 10 made up 52% of assets. Portfolio turnover, a gauge of yearly trading, was 70%.

ProShare Advisors generally holds every index stock in about the index's proportions, though it may hold a representative sample when that is more practical. Holdings include ordinary shares and depositary receipts, certificates that stand for foreign shares. The fund uses no leverage and held no derivatives as of August 31, 2026.

• TINY charges 0.58% a year, versus an average of 0.4% for the similar funds below (6th of 7, cheapest first).
• Using the prospectus's standard example, $10,000 invested would cost about $59 in the first year and $726 over 10 years (assuming a 5% annual return).

With 30 stocks in one narrow theme and a beta of 2.02 over the year to October 27, 2026, it tended to move about twice as much as the market, which suits a small side position rather than a core one.

TINY launched in October 2021, so it missed the 2008 financial crisis and the 2020 COVID crash. Its only big test was harsh: it fell 43.1% in the 2022 bear market, and its deepest drop was 43.8%, from December 8, 2021 to October 14, 2022. It lost about 34% in 2022, its worst calendar year, and took 15.3 months from the low to regain its old high, in January 2024. Anyone needing money then would have cashed in shares at steep losses.

Income is minimal: the trailing 12-month yield was 0.1% as of October 27, 2026, paid twice a year. Its yearly fee of 0.58% is above the 0.40% peer average; in the SEC's standard example, $10,000 earning 5% a year would incur about $726 in costs over 10 years. Past results don't predict future returns, and a plan should look at the whole portfolio, not one fund.

Matched by closest holdings overlap from the latest N-PORT reports (no similar fund shares 20% or more of its holdings).
