What is MRGR?

ProShares Merger ETF seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the performance of the S&P Merger Arbitrage Index. The S&P Merger Arbitrage Index provides exposure to a global merger arbitrage strategy, which seeks to capture the spread between the price at which the stock of a company (each such company, a "target") trades after a proposed acquisition of such target is announced and the value (cash plus stock) that the acquiring company (the "acquirer") has proposed to pay for the stock of the target (a "spread").
