As of Sept. 30, 2018 Fund Description The Invesco DB Gold Fund seeks to track changes, whether positive or negative, in the level of the DBIQ Optimum Yield Gold Index Excess Return™ (DBIQ Opt Yield Gold Index ER) over time, plus the income from the Fund’s holdings of US Treasury securities, money market funds and T-Bill ETFs, less the Fund’s expenses. The Fund is designed for investors who want a cost-effective and convenient way to invest in commodity futures. The Index is a rules-based index composed of futures contracts on gold. The Fund and the Index are rebalanced and reconstituted annually in November. This Fund is not suitable for all investors due to the speculative nature of an investment based upon the Fund’s trading which takes place in very volatile markets. Because an investment in futures contracts is volatile, such frequency in the movement in market prices of the underlying futures contracts could cause large losses. Please see “Risk and Other Information” and the Prospectus for additional risk disclosures.

Cost savings: The Fund does not incur either the cost of storing a physical commodity or the cost of entering into a commodity-linked note with a dealer, a cost that is usually much higher than entering into an exchange-traded futures contract. Interest earned: Owning physical commodities provides an investor with no interest income. The Fund collateralizes its futures contracts primarily with US Treasury securities, money market funds and T-Bill ETFs and earns interest on these securities. Interest income can enhance Fund returns. Transparency and liquidity: The Fund invests in liquid futures contracts at publicly available prices determined by trading on regulated futures exchanges. We believe that this allows the Fund to gain a more direct and cost-effective exposure to commodities than if the Fund either bought commodity-linked notes, which are not publicly priced, or less liquid futures contracts. Risk and Other Information This Fund issues a Schedule K-1. Commodities and futures generally are volatile and are not suitable for all investors. Please review the prospectus for breakeven figures for the Fund. The value of the Shares of the Fund relate directly to the value of the futures contracts and other assets held by the Fund and any fluctuation in the value of its portfolio could adversely affect an investment in the Fund’s Shares. The Fund is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. An investor may lose all or substantially all of an investment in the Fund. The Intraday NAV is a symbol representing estimated value based on the most recent intraday price of underlying assets. Volatility is the annualized standard deviation of index returns. Sharpe Ratio is a risk-adjusted measure calculated using standard deviation and excess return to determine reward per unit of risk. A higher Sharpe Ratio indicates better risk-adjusted performance. Correlation indicates the degree to which two investments have historically moved in the same direction and magnitude. Alpha is a measure of performance on a risk-adjusted basis. Beta is a measure of risk representing how a security is expected to respond to general market movements. Smart Beta represents an alternative and selection index based methodology that seeks to outperform a 800 983 0903 invesco.com benchmark or reduce portfolio risk, or both. Smart beta funds may underperform cap-weighted benchmarks and increase portfolio risk.
