Important Information About the Fund
The Rising U.S. Dollar ProFund (the Fund) is different from most funds in that it seeks returns
for a single day only
. The Fund
may not be suitable for all investors and should be used only by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking daily inverse investment results. Shareholders should actively manage and monitor their investments, as
frequently as daily. Longer holding periods and higher benchmark volatility each exacerbate the impact of compounding on a funds returns.
Investment Objective
The Fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the daily performance of the basket of
currencies included in the U.S. Dollar Index (the Index). The Index measures the performance of the U.S. Dollar against the performance of a basket of six major world currencies (the Benchmark). These currencies and
their weightings are: euro 57.6%; Japanese yen 13.6%; British pound 11.9%; Canadian dollar 9.1%; Swedish krona 4.2% and Swiss franc 3.6%. Accordingly, as the value of the U.S. Dollar appreciates versus the Benchmark, the performance of the Fund
increases. As the value of the U.S. Dollar depreciates versus the Benchmark, the performance of the Fund declines.
The Fund does not normally provide investment returns that match the Index, nor does it seek to achieve its stated investment
objective over a period greater than one day

ProFund Advisors LLC (ProFund Advisors or the Advisor) has contractually agreed to waive Investment Advisory and Management Services Fees and to reimburse
Other Expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed 1.95% for Investor Class shares and 2.95% for Service Class shares through November 30, 2013. After such date, the expense
limitation may be terminated or revised by the Advisor. Amounts waived or reimbursed in a particular contractual period may be recouped by ProFund Advisors within three years of the end of that contractual period to the extent that recoupment will
not cause the Funds expenses to exceed any expense limitation in place at that time.

Example:
This example is
intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all
of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Funds operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual cost may be higher or lower, based on these
assumptions your approximate costs would be:

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with transacting in securities and derivatives. These costs are
not reflected in the example or the table above.
Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or turns over its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may
result in higher taxes when the Funds shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Funds performance. During the most recent fiscal year,
the Funds annual portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its entire portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instrument or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the
Funds portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund invests in derivatives that ProFund Advisors believes, in combination, should have similar daily return characteristics as the inverse (-1x) of the daily return of the Benchmark.
The types of derivatives that the Fund will principally invest in are set forth below. Cash balances arising from the use of derivatives will typically be
held in money market instruments.
>
|
|
Derivatives
The Fund invests in derivatives, which are financial instruments
whose value is derived from the value of an underlying asset, interest rate or index. The Fund invests in derivatives to gain inverse exposure to the Benchmark. These derivatives principally include:
|
|
|
|
Forward Contracts
Two-party contracts where a purchase or sale of a specific quantity of a foreign currency is entered into
with dealers or financial institutions at a set price, with physical delivery and settlement at a specified future date.
|
>
|
|
Money Market Instruments
The Fund invests in short-term cash instruments that
have a remaining maturity of 397 days or less and exhibit high quality credit profiles, including:
|
|
|
|
U.S. Treasury Bills
U.S. government securities that have initial maturities of one year or less, and are supported by
the full faith and credit of the United States.
|
|
|
|
Repurchase Agreements
Contracts in which a seller of securities, usually U.S. government securities or other money market
instruments, agrees to buy them back at a specified time and price. Repurchase agreements are primarily used by the Fund as a short-term investment vehicle for cash positions.

ProFund Advisors uses a mathematical approach to investing. Using this approach, ProFund Advisors
determines the type, quantity and mix of investment positions that the Fund should hold to approximate on a daily basis the inverse (-1x) of the performance of the Benchmark. The Fund may gain inverse exposure through a representative selection of
investments, which exposure is intended to have aggregate characteristics similar to those of the inverse of the Benchmark, and may invest in securities or financial instruments not contained in the Benchmark. ProFund Advisors does not invest the
assets of the Fund in securities or financial instruments based on ProFund Advisors view of the investment merit of a particular security, instrument, or currency, other than for cash management purposes, nor does it conduct conventional
research or analysis (other than in determining counterparty creditworthiness), or forecast market movement or trends, in managing the assets of the Fund. The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in securities and/or financial
instruments that, in combination, provide inverse exposure to the Benchmark without regard to market conditions, trends or direction.
At the
close of the U.S. securities markets each trading day, the Fund will seek to position its portfolio so that its exposure to the Benchmark is consistent with the Funds investment objective. The U.S. Dollars movements during the day in
relation to the Benchmark will affect whether the Funds portfolio needs to be repositioned. For example, if the U.S. Dollar has risen in relation to the Benchmark on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise. As a result, the
Funds inverse exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the U.S. Dollar has fallen in relation to the Benchmark on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall. As a result, the Funds inverse exposure will need to be
decreased.
Because of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each days return over time, the return of the Fund for periods longer
than a single day will be the result of each days return compounded over the period, which will very likely differ from the return of the Benchmark over the same period. The Fund will lose money when the Benchmarks performance is flat
over time, and it is possible the Fund will lose money over time even if the Benchmarks performance falls, as a result of daily rebalancing, Benchmark volatility and the effects of compounding. See Principal Risks below.
Please see Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks in the Funds full Prospectus for
additional details.
Principal Risks
You could lose money by investing in the Fund.
Risks Associated with the Use of Derivatives
The Fund uses investment techniques,
such as investing in derivatives, that may be considered aggressive. Investing in derivatives may expose the Fund to greater risks than investing directly in the reference asset(s) underlying those derivatives, such as counterparty risk, liquidity
risk and increased correlation risk (each as discussed below). When the Fund uses derivatives, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the reference asset(s) and the derivative, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its
investment objective. Any financing, borrowing and other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the effect of lowering the Funds return.
Compounding Risk
As a result of compounding and because the Fund has a single day
investment objective, the Funds performance for periods greater than a single day is likely to be either
greater than or less than the inverse of the Benchmarks performance, before accounting for fees and fund expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but has a significant impact on this
fund. Particularly during periods of higher Benchmark volatility, compounding will cause results for periods longer than a single day to vary from the inverse (-1x) of the return of the Benchmark. This effect becomes more pronounced as volatility
increases.
Fund performance for periods greater than a single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: a)
the Benchmarks volatility; b) the Benchmarks performance; c) period of time; d) financing rates associated with inverse exposure; and e) other Fund expenses. The chart below illustrates the impact of two principal
factors Benchmark volatility and Benchmark performance on Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of Benchmark volatility and Benchmark performance over a one-year
period. Assumptions used in the chart include: (a) no Fund expenses; and (b) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain inverse exposure) of zero percent. If Fund expenses and/or actual borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the Funds
performance would be different than that shown.
Areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less
than the inverse (-1x) of the performance of the Benchmark.
For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money when the Benchmarks performance is flat and can even lose money when the Benchmarks performance falls.

The foregoing table is intended to isolate the effect of Benchmark volatility and Benchmark performance on the return of
the Fund. For example, the Fund may incorrectly be expected to achieve a -20% return on a yearly basis if the Benchmark return were 20%, absent the effects of compounding. However, as the table shows, with Benchmark volatility of 50%, the Fund could
be expected to

return -35.1% under such a scenario. The Funds actual returns may be significantly greater or less than the returns shown above as a result of any of the factors discussed above or in
Principal Risks Correlation Risk below.
The Benchmarks annualized historical volatility rate for the
five -year period ended September 30, 2012 was 9.44%. The Benchmarks highest September to September volatility rate during the five -year period was 12.95% (September 30, 2009). The Benchmarks annualized performance for the five
-year period ended September 30, 2012 was 0.56%.
Historical Benchmark volatility and performance are not indications of what the
Benchmark volatility and performance will be in the future.
For additional graphs and charts demonstrating the effects of Benchmark
volatility and Benchmark performance on the long-term performance of the Fund, see Principal Risks Specific to ProFunds Compounding Risk in the Funds full Prospectus and Special Note Regarding the Correlation
Risks of Geared Funds in the Funds Statement of Additional Information.
Active
Investor Risk
The Fund permits short-term trading of its securities. A significant portion of assets invested in the Fund come from professional money managers and investors
who use the Fund 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 Fund. In addition, large movements of assets into and out of the Fund may have a negative impact on the Funds ability to achieve its investment objective or maintain a consistent level of operating expenses.
In certain circumstances, the Funds expense ratio may vary from current estimates or the historical ratio disclosed in this Prospectus.
Correlation Risk
A number of
factors may affect the Funds ability to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation with the Benchmark, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of inverse correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of inverse
correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
In order to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation with the
Benchmark, the Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio daily to keep exposure consistent with its investment objective. Being materially over- or under-exposed to the Benchmark may prevent the Fund from achieving a high degree of correlation with the
Benchmark. Market disruptions or closure, regulatory restrictions or extreme market volatility will adversely affect the Funds ability to adjust exposure to requisite levels. The target amount of portfolio exposure is impacted dynamically by
the Benchmarks movements. Because of this, it is unlikely that the Fund will have perfect inverse exposure (i.e., -1x) to the Benchmark at the end of each day and the likelihood of being materially over- or under-exposed is higher on days when
the Benchmark level is volatile near the close of the trading day.
A number of other factors may also adversely affect the Funds inverse
correlation with the Benchmark, including 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 the Fund invests. The Fund may not have complete investment exposure, or its weighting of investments may not yield complete investment exposure, to the
Benchmark. In addition, the Fund may invest in securities or financial instruments with different characteristics than those in the Benchmark. The Fund may also be subject to large movements of
assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or under-exposed to the Benchmark. Activities surrounding Index reconstitutions or other Index rebalancing events may hinder the Funds ability to meet its daily
investment objective on or around that day.
Counterparty Risk
The Fund 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
it expects to receive from counterparties to
derivatives and repurchase agreements entered into by the Fund. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or fails to perform its obligations, the value of your investment in the Fund may decline.
Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk
An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities, or the ability to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments may be
restricted, which may result in the Fund being unable to buy or sell certain securities or derivatives. In such circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur
substantial trading losses.
Exposure to European Investments Risk
The Economic and Monetary Union of the European Union (the EU) requires member countries to comply with restrictions on inflation rates, interest rates, deficits, debt levels
and fiscal and monetary controls. As a result, each EU member country may be significantly affected by EU policies and may be highly dependent on the economies of its fellow members. The European financial markets have experienced significant
volatility recently and several EU member countries have been adversely affected by unemployment, budget deficits and economic downturns. In addition, several EU member countries have experienced credit rating downgrades, rising government debt
levels and, for certain EU member countries (including Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Italy), weakness in sovereign debt. These events, along with decreasing imports or exports, changes in governmental or EU regulations on trade, the default
or threat of default by an EU member country on its sovereign debt and/or an economic recession in an EU member country may have a significant adverse effect on the affected EU member country, issuers in the affected EU member country, the economies
of other EU member countries, their trading partners or other European countries. Such events, or even the threat of such events, may cause the value of debt issued by issuers in such European countries to fall, in some cases drastically. These
events may also cause continued volatility in the European financial markets. To the extent that the Funds assets are exposed to investments from issuers in EU member countries or denominated in Euro, their trading partners, or other European
countries, these events may impact the performance of the Fund. While the realization of certain of these risks may benefit the Fund because the Fund because the Fund seeks investment results that correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the Index, such
occurrences may introduce more volatility to the Fund.
Exposure to Foreign Currency
Risk
The value of investments linked to foreign currency exchange rates could change significantly as foreign currencies strengthen or weaken relative to the U.S. dollar.
Additional risks related to investments linked to foreign currency exchange rates include those related to economic, regulatory or political developments within the countries.

TICKERS :: Investor Class RDPIX :: Service Class RDPSX
|
Geographic Concentration Risk
Because the Fund focuses its investments in particular foreign countries or geographic regions, it may be more volatile than a more geographically diversified fund. The performance of
the Fund will be affected by the political, social and economic conditions in those foreign countries and geographic regions and subject to the related risks.
Inverse Correlation Risk
Shareholders will lose money when the Benchmark
rises a result that is the opposite from traditional funds.
Liquidity
Risk
In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests, the Fund might not be able
to acquire or dispose of certain holdings quickly or at prices that represent true market value in the judgment of ProFund Advisors. Markets for the securities or derivatives in which the Fund invests may be disrupted by a number of events,
including but not limited 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. Such situations may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving a high correlation with the Benchmark.
Market Risk
The Fund is subject to market risks that will affect the value of its
shares, including adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market or economic developments, as well as developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market.
Non-Diversification Risk
The Fund is classified as non-diversified
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers susceptible to a single economic, political or regulatory event, or in financial
instruments with a single counterparty if ProFund Advisors determines that doing so is the most efficient means of meeting the Funds investment objective. This makes the performance of the Fund more susceptible to adverse impact to an issuer
or counterparty than a diversified fund might be. The risk may be particularly acute when the Benchmark is comprised of a small number of components.
Portfolio Turnover Risk
Daily rebalancing of Fund holdings, which is required to
keep inverse exposure consistent with a single day investment objective, will cause a higher level of portfolio transactions than compared to most funds. Additionally, active trading of the Funds shares may cause more frequent purchase and
sales activities that could, in certain circumstances, increase the number of portfolio transactions. High levels of transactions increase brokerage costs and may result in increased taxable capital gains.
Short Sale Exposure Risk
The
Fund may seek inverse exposure through financial instruments such as swap agreements, which may cause the Fund to be exposed to certain risks associated with selling securities short. These risks include, under certain market conditions, an increase
in the volatility and decrease in the liquidity of securities underlying the short position, which may adversely impact the Funds return, result in a loss, have the effect of limiting the Funds ability to obtain inverse exposure through
financial instruments such as swap agreements, or require the Fund to seek inverse exposure through alternative investment strategies that may be less desirable or may be costly to implement. To the
extent that, at any particular point in time, the securities underlying the short position may be thinly traded or have a limited market, including due to regulatory action, the Fund may be
unable to meet its investment objective due to a lack of a counterparty or counterparties. During such periods, the Funds ability to issue additional shares may be adversely affected. Obtaining inverse exposure through these instruments may be
considered an aggressive investment technique.
Tax Risk
As a regulated investment company (RIC), the Fund must derive at least 90% of its gross income for each taxable year from sources treated as qualifying income
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The Fund currently intends to take positions in financial instruments, including forward currency contracts that, in combination, have daily return characteristics similar to those of the inverse of the
Benchmarks daily return characteristics. Although foreign currency gains currently constitute qualifying income, the Treasury Department has the authority to issue regulations excluding from the definition of qualifying income a
RICs foreign currency gains not directly related to its principal business of investing in stock or securities (or options and futures with respect thereto). Such regulations might treat gains from some of the
Funds foreign currency-denominated positions as excluded from constituting qualifying income, and there is a remote possibility that such regulations might be applied retroactively, in which case the Fund might not qualify as a RIC for one or
more years. Please see the Statement of Additional Information for more information on the qualifying income requirement.

Average annual total returns are shown on a before- and after-tax basis for Investor Class shares only. After-tax returns for
Service Class shares will vary. After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investors
tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold the Funds shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as a retirement account. After-tax returns may exceed the return before
taxes due to a tax benefit from realizing a capital loss on a sale of shares.
Annual returns are required to be shown and should not be
interpreted as suggesting that the Fund should or should not be held for longer periods of time. The Fund may not be suitable for all investors and should only be used by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking
daily inverse results (i.e., -1x). Shareholders should actively manage and monitor their investments, as frequently as daily.
Management
The Fund is advised by ProFund Advisors. Jeffrey Ploshnick, Senior Portfolio Manager, has managed the Fund since December 2009.
Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares
The
minimum initial investment amounts
for all classes, which may be
waived at the discretion of the Fund, are:
>
|
|
$5,000 for accounts that list a financial professional.
|
>
|
|
$15,000 for self-directed accounts.
|
You may purchase, redeem or exchange Fund shares on any day which the New York Stock Exchange is open for business. Depending on where your account is
held, you may redeem your shares by contacting your financial professional or the Fund by mail, telephone, wire transfer or on-line (ProFunds.com).
Tax Information
The Funds distributions generally are taxable, and will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an
individual retirement account. Such tax-deferred arrangements may be taxed later upon withdrawal of monies from those arrangements.
Payments to
Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase Service Class shares through a financial intermediary, such as a
broker-dealer or investment adviser, the Fund and its distributor may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other financial
intermediary to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your financial intermediary or visit your financial intermediarys website for more information.
