ProShares Long Online/Short Stores ETF (CLIX) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to capitalize on the divergence between online retail growth and the challenges faced by traditional brick-and-mortar retailers. The ETF primarily invests in long positions in online retail companies while taking short positions in physical retail stores, leveraging the ongoing shift in consumer behavior towards e-commerce.
CLIX generates revenue primarily through management fees based on the total assets under management.
