INVESTING IN THE SHARES INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT RISKS.
PLEASE REFER TO RISK FACTORS BEGINNING ON PAGE 15.
Authorized Participants may offer to the public, from time-to-time, Shares from any Baskets they create. Shares offered to the public by Authorized Participants will be offered at a per-Share offering price that will vary depending on, among other factors, the trading price of the Shares on the NYSE Arca, the NAV per Share and the supply of and demand for the Shares at the time of sale. Because the Shares will trade at market prices, rather than the NAV of the Fund, Shares may trade at prices greater than NAV (at a premium), at NAV, or less than NAV (at a discount). Authorized Participants will not receive from the Fund, the Managing Owner or any of their affiliates any fee or other compensation in connection with their sale of Shares to the public.
An Authorized Participant may receive commissions or fees from investors who purchase Shares through their commission or fee-based brokerage accounts. In addition, the Managing Owner pays a distribution services fee to Invesco Distributors, Inc. and pays a marketing services fee to Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. (DIMA) without reimbursement from the Trust or the Fund. For more information regarding items of compensation paid to Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA) members, please see the Plan of Distribution section on page 95.

Fees and Expenses
Management Fee | The Fund pays the Managing Owner a Management Fee, monthly in arrears, in an amount equal to 0.85% per annum of the daily NAV of the Fund. The Management Fee is paid in consideration of the Managing Owners services related to the management of the Funds business and affairs, including the provision of commodity futures trading advisory services.
The Fund may, for margin and/or cash management purposes, invest in money market mutual funds and/or T-Bill ETFs that are managed by affiliates of the Managing Owner. The indirect portion of the management fees that the Fund may incur through such investments is in addition to the Management Fee paid to the Managing Owner. The Managing Owner has contractually agreed to waive indefinitely the fees that it receives in an amount equal to the indirect management fees that the Fund incurs through its investments in affiliated money market mutual funds and/or affiliated T-Bill ETFs. The Managing Owner may terminate the fee waiver on 60 days notice. | |
Offering Expenses | Expenses incurred in connection with the continuous offering of Shares are paid by the Managing Owner. | |
Brokerage Commissions and Fees | The Fund pays to the Commodity Broker all brokerage commissions, including applicable exchange fees, NFA fees, give-up fees, pit brokerage fees and other transaction related fees and expenses charged in connection with its trading activities. On average, total charges paid to the Commodity Broker are expected to be less than $7.00 per round-turn trade, although the Commodity Brokers brokerage commissions and trading fees are determined on a contract-by-contract basis. The Managing Owner estimates the brokerage commissions and fees will be approximately 0.04% of the NAV of the Fund in any year, although the actual amount of brokerage commissions and fees in any year or any part of any year may be greater. | |
Routine Operational, Administrative and Other Ordinary Expenses | The Managing Owner pays all of the routine operational, administrative and other ordinary expenses of the Fund, including, but not limited to, computer services, the fees and expenses of the Trustee, license and service fees paid to DIMA as Marketing Agent and Index Sponsor, legal and accounting fees and expenses, tax preparation expenses, filing fees, and printing, mailing and duplication costs. | |
Non-Recurring Fees and Expenses | The Fund pays all of the non-recurring and unusual fees and expenses (referred to as extraordinary fees and expenses in the Trust Agreement), if any, as determined by the Managing Owner. Non-recurring and unusual fees and expenses include items such as legal claims and liabilities, litigation costs, indemnification expenses and other expenses that are not currently anticipated obligations of the Fund or of managed futures funds in general. | |
Management Fee and Expenses to be Paid First out of Treasury Income, Money Market Income and/or T-Bill ETF Income | The Management Fee and the brokerage commissions and fees of the Fund are paid first out of Treasury Income from the Funds holdings of Treasury Securities, Money Market Income from the Funds holdings of money market mutual funds (affiliated or otherwise) and T-Bill ETF Income from the Funds holdings of T-Bill ETFs (affiliated or otherwise), as applicable, on deposit with the Commodity Broker as margin, the Custodian, or otherwise. If the sum of the Treasury Income, the Money Market Income and |
12
the T-Bill ETF Income is not sufficient to cover the fees and expenses of the Fund that are payable by the Fund during any period, the excess of such fees and expenses over such Treasury Income, Money Market Income and T-Bill ETF Income, as applicable, will be paid out of income from futures trading, if any, or from sales of the Funds holdings in Treasury Securities, money market mutual funds, and/or holdings in T-Bill ETFs. | ||
Selling Commission | Retail investors may purchase and sell Shares through traditional brokerage accounts. Investors are expected to be charged a commission by their brokers in connection with purchases of Shares that will vary from investor to investor. Investors are encouraged to review the terms of their brokerage accounts for applicable charges. |

BREAKEVEN TABLE
The Breakeven Table, as presented, is an approximation only. Because a constant NAV per Share has been assumed, the actual capitalization of the Fund does not directly affect the level of its charges as a percentage of its NAV.

12-Month Breakeven7,8 |
$ 0.00 | 0.00 % |
1. | The breakeven analysis set forth in this table assumes that the Shares have a constant month-end NAV per Share of $17.58, the NAV per Share as of July 31, 2018. See the Charges section for an explanation of the expenses included in the Breakeven Table. The Managing Owner pays a marketing services fee to the Marketing Agent and an index services fee to the Index Sponsor. Because the marketing services fee and the index services fee are not paid by the Fund, these fees are not included in the breakeven analysis. |
2. | The Managing Owner is responsible for paying the fees and expenses of the Administrator, Invesco Distributors, the Index Sponsor and the Marketing Agent from its own assets. |
The Fund may, for margin and/or cash management purposes, invest in money market mutual funds and/or T-Bill ETFs that are managed by affiliates of the Managing Owner. The indirect portion of the management fees that the Fund may incur through such investments are in addition to the Management Fee paid to the Managing Owner. The Managing Owner has contractually agreed indefinitely to waive the fees that it receives in an amount equal to the indirect management fees that the Fund incurs through its investments in affiliated money market mutual funds and/or affiliated T-Bill ETFs. The Managing Owner may terminate this waiver on 60 days notice. |
As of the date of this prospectus, this waiver is approximately less than $0.01 per Share per annum. |
3. | The actual amount of brokerage commissions and trading fees to be incurred will vary based upon the trading frequency of the Fund and the specific futures contracts traded. |
4. | The Managing Owner is responsible for paying all routine operational, administrative and other ordinary expenses of the Fund. |
5. | Authorized Participants pay a transaction fee in the amount of $500 per order to create and redeem Baskets and are subject to an additional processing charge for failure to timely deliver such orders. Because these transaction fees are de minimis in amount, are charged on a transaction-by-transaction basis (and not on a Basket-by-Basket basis), and are borne by the Authorized Participants, they have not been included in the Breakeven Table. |
6. | As of July 31, 2018, Treasury Income is estimated to be earned at a rate of 2.00%, Money Market Income is estimated to be earned at a rate of 2.01%, and T-Bill ETF Income is estimated to be earned at a rate of 2.01%. Actual Treasury Income, Money Market Income and T-Bill ETF Income could be higher or lower than the levels shown. |
7. | The table indicates that the breakeven amount during the first 12 months of an investment in the Fund is $0.00 and 0% of NAV. These figures reflect that, during those first 12 months, the Funds Treasury Income, Money Market Income, and T-Bill ETF Income are expected to exceed the Funds fees and expenses. As disclosed earlier in the Funds breakeven analysis, the Fund will break even unless it loses at least approximately 1.04% per annum, or $0.18 per annum per Share at $17.58 as the NAV per Share as of July 31, 2018. |
8. | You may pay brokerage commissions in connection with purchases of the Shares. Brokerage commissions have not been included in the Breakeven Table because they are borne by investors rather than the Fund and will generally vary from investor to investor. Investors are encouraged to review the terms of their brokerage accounts for applicable charges. |

Footnotes to Performance Information
1. Aggregate Gross Capital Subscriptions is the aggregate of all amounts ever contributed to the Fund, including investors who subsequently redeemed their investments.
2. NAV is the NAV of the Fund as of July 31, 2018.
3. NAV per Share is the NAV of the Fund divided by the total number of Shares outstanding as of July 31, 2018.
4. Worst Monthly Drawdown is the largest single month loss sustained during the most recent five calendar years and year to date (if applicable). Drawdown as used in this section of the Prospectus means losses experienced by the Fund over the specified period and is calculated on a rate of return basis, i.e., dividing net performance by beginning equity. Drawdown is measured on the basis of monthly returns only, and does not reflect intra-month figures. Month is the month of the Worst Monthly Drawdown.
5. Worst Peak-to-Valley Drawdown is the largest percentage decline in the NAV per Share during the most recent five calendar years (and to the extent applicable, for a period beyond the most recent five calendar years if the starting date of the peak value extends beyond this period). This need not be a continuous decline, but can be a series of positive and negative returns where the negative returns are larger than the positive returns. Worst Peak-to-Valley Drawdown represents the greatest percentage decline from any month-end NAV per Share that occurs without such month-end NAV per Share being equaled or exceeded as of a subsequent month-end. For example, if the NAV per Share of the Fund declined by $1 in each of January and February, increased by $1 in March and declined again by $2 in April, a peak-to-valley drawdown analysis conducted as of the end of April would consider that drawdown to be still continuing and to be $3 in amount, whereas if the NAV per Share had increased by $2 in March, the January-February drawdown would have ended as of the end of February at the $2 level.
6. The Worst Peak-to-Valley Drawdown from February 2008 July 2018 reflects the total return of the Fund, including the $0.45 per Share distribution made to Shareholders of record as of December 17, 2008. Prior to October 19, 2009, the Fund tracked the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index-Optimum Yield Agriculture Excess Return. From October 19, 2009 until January 1, 2011, the Fund tracked the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index Diversified Agriculture Excess Return. On January 1, 2011, the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index Diversified Agriculture Excess Return changed its name to the name of the Index. The only difference between the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index Diversified Agriculture Excess Return and the Index is a name change.
7. Compound Rate of Return of the Fund is calculated by multiplying on a compound basis each of the monthly rates of return set forth in the chart above and not by adding or averaging such monthly rates of return. For periods of less than one year, the results are year-to-date.
THE FUNDS PERFORMANCE INFORMATION FROM INCEPTION UP TO AND EXCLUDING FEBRUARY 23, 2015 IS A REFLECTION OF THE PERFORMANCE ASSOCIATED WITH THE FUNDS PREDECESSOR MANAGING OWNER. ALL THE PERFORMANCE INFORMATION ON AND AFTER FEBRUARY 23, 2015 REFLECTS THE PERFORMANCE ASSOCIATED WITH THE MANAGING OWNER.

THE PRIOR INDEX LEVELS AND CHANGES TO THE INDEX LEVELS SHOWN ABOVE DO NOT REPRESENT THE FUNDS PERFORMANCE AND ARE NOT INDICATIVE OF THE FUNDS FUTURE PERFORMANCE. THE INDEX DOES NOT REFLECT ANY FEES OR EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH OPERATING A FUND OR ACTUAL TRADING.
Please refer to the Notes section below.

The Index Sponsor also maintains a separate index, DBIQ Diversified Agriculture Index Total Return (DBIQ Diversified Agriculture TR) which the Fund does not track. DBIQ Diversified Agriculture TR is calculated on a funded (total return) basis, which reflects the change in market value of the underlying index commodities and interest income from a hypothetical basket of fixed income securities. DBIQ Diversified Agriculture TR is included so that investors can evaluate an index with both futures and income components, as the Fund tracks the Index and expects to generate income from positions in Treasury Securities, money market funds, and/or T-Bill ETFs that are maintained for margin and/or cash management purposes.
DBIQ Diversified Agriculture TR reflects the change in the market value of the same underlying commodities as the Index. DBIQ Diversified Agriculture TR and the Index each reflect those changes on both an optimum yield and non-optimum yield basis.

NOTES:
1. | High reflects the highest closing level of the Index during the applicable year. |
2. | Low reflects the lowest closing level of the Index during the applicable year. |
3. | Annual Index Changes reflect the change to the Index closing level on an annual basis as of December 31 of each applicable year. |
4. | Index Changes Since Inception reflects the change of the Index level since inception on a compounded annual basis as of December 31 of each applicable year. |
5. | Closing levels as of July 31, 2018. |
6. | Annualized Changes to Index Level reflect the change to the applicable index level on an annual basis as of December 31 of each applicable year. |
7. | Average rolling 3 month daily volatility. The daily volatility reflects the relative rate at which the price of the applicable index moves up and down, which is found by calculating the annualized standard deviation of the daily change in price. In turn, an average of this value is calculated on a 3 month rolling basis. |
8. | Sharpe Ratio compares the annualized rate of return minus the annualized risk-free rate of return to the annualized variability often referred to as the standard deviation of the monthly rates of return. A Sharpe Ratio of 1:1 or higher indicates that, according to the measures used in calculating the ratio, the rate of return achieved by a particular strategy has equaled or exceeded the risks assumed by such strategy. The risk-free rate of return that was used in these calculations was assumed to be 3.03%. |
9. | % of months with positive change during the period from inception to July 31, 2018. |
10. | Average monthly positive change during the period from inception to July 31, 2018. |
11. | Average monthly negative change during the period from inception to July 31, 2018. |
12. | Annualized Index Levels reflect the change to the level of the applicable index on an annual basis as of December 31 of each the applicable time period (e.g., one year, three, five or seven, ten or fifteen years, as applicable). |
13. | Prior to October 19, 2009, the Fund tracked the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index-Optimum Yield Agriculture Excess Return. From October 19, 2009 until January 1, 2011, the Fund tracked the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index Diversified Agriculture Excess Return. On January 1, 2011, the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index Diversified Agriculture Index Excess ReturnTM changed its name to the name of the Index. The only difference between the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index Diversified Agriculture Index Excess ReturnTM and the Index is a name change. |
