Fund Description

The Invesco DB Energy Fund (Fund) seeks to track changes, whether positive or negative, in the level of the DBIQ Optimum Yield Energy Index Excess ReturnTM (DBIQ Opt Yield Energy Index ER or Index) 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 some of the most heavily traded energy commodities in the world - light sweet crude oil (WTI), heating oil, Brent crude oil, RBOB gasoline and natural gas. You cannot invest directly in the Index. 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 Investment Risks, Important Information and the Prospectus for additional risk disclosures.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate, and Shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than performance data quoted. Returns less than one year are cumulative. Call 800-983-0903 for the most recent month-end performance. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The Fund’s performance from inception up to and including February 23, 2015, reflects performance associated with the predecessor managing owner. Performance on and after February 23, 2015, reflects performance associated with the current managing owner, Invesco Capital Management LLC. Market returns are based on the midpoint of the bid/ask spread at 4 p.m. ET and do not represent the returns an investor would receive if shares were traded at other times.

Index history has certain inherent limitations and does not represent actual trading performance or returns of the Fund. Index history does not represent trades that have actually been executed and therefore may under or over compensate for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as illiquidity. No representation is being made that the Fund will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to the Index history.

Because the Fund collateralizes its futures positions primarily with US Treasuries, money market funds and T-Bill ETFs, the results of the DBIQ Optimum Yield Energy Index Total ReturnTM (DBIQ Optimum Yield Energy Index TR) (Symbol: DBCMYTEN) are also displayed.

How the Fund Invests and Potential Advantages The Fund invests in liquid futures contracts trading on regulated exchanges and has the following potential advantages:

Enhanced commodity index: The Fund follows the Index which utilizes an Optimum YieldTM methodology designed to provide a more sophisticated strategy for investing in commodities than that provided by conventional commodity indexes.

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: 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 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.
