−Removed: Please see http://www.invesco.com/ETFs with respect to the most recently available weighted composition of the Fund and the composition of the Index.
−Removed: Trading in futures contracts involves the Fund entering into contractual commitments to purchase a particular commodity at a specified date and price.
−Removed: The market risk associated with the Fund’s commitments to purchase commodities is limited to the gross or face amount of the contracts held.
−Removed: The Fund’s exposure to market risk is also influenced by a number of factors including the volatility of interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, the liquidity of the markets in which the contracts are traded and the relationships among the contracts held.
−Removed: The inherent uncertainty of the Fund’s trading as well as the development of drastic market occurrences could ultimately lead to a loss of all or substantially all of the investors’
−Removed: When the Fund enters into futures contracts, the Fund is exposed to credit risk that the counterparty to the contract will not meet its obligations.
−Removed: The counterparty for futures contracts traded on United States and on most foreign futures exchanges is the clearing house associated with the particular exchange.
−Removed: In general, clearing houses are backed by their corporate members who may be required to share in the financial burden resulting from the nonperformance by one of their members and, as such, is designed to disperse and mitigate the credit risk posed by any other one member.
−Removed: In cases where the clearing house is not backed by the clearing members (i.e., some foreign exchanges), it may be backed by a consortium of banks or other financial institutions.
−Removed: There can be no assurance that any counterparty, clearing member or clearinghouse will meet its obligations to the Fund.
−Removed: The Commodity Broker, when acting as the Fund’s futures commission merchant (“FCM”) in accepting orders for the purchase or sale of domestic futures contracts, is required by CFTC regulations to separately account for and segregate as belonging to the Fund all assets of the Fund relating to domestic futures trading.
−Removed: The Commodity Broker is not allowed to commingle such assets with other assets of the Commodity Broker.
−Removed: In addition, CFTC regulations also require the Commodity Broker to hold in a secure account assets of the Fund related to foreign futures trading.
−Removed: While these legal requirements are designed to protect the customers of FCMs, a failure by the Commodity Broker to comply with those requirements would be likely to have a material adverse effect on the Fund in the event that the Commodity Broker became insolvent or suffered other financial distress.
−Removed: The Fund’s entire source of capital is derived from the Fund’s offering of Shares to Authorized Participants.
−Removed: The Fund in turn allocates its net assets to commodity futures trading.
−Removed: A significant portion of the NAV is held in United States Treasury Obligations, which may be used as margin for the Fund’s trading in commodity futures contracts and United States Treasury Obligations, money market mutual funds, cash and T-Bill ETFs, if any, which may be used for cash management purposes.
−Removed: The percentage that United States Treasury Obligations bear to the total net assets will vary from period to period as the market values of the Fund’s commodity interests change.
−Removed: A portion of the Fund’s United States Treasury Obligations are held for deposit with the Commodity Broker to meet margin requirements.
−Removed: All remaining cash, money market mutual funds, T-Bill ETFs, if any, and United States Treasury Obligations are on deposit with the Custodian.
−Removed: Interest earned on the Fund’s interest-bearing funds and dividends from the Fund’s holdings of money market mutual funds are paid to the Fund.
−Removed: Any dividends or distributions of capital gains received from the Fund’s holdings of T-Bill ETFs, if any, are paid to the Fund.
−Removed: The Fund’s commodity futures contracts may be subject to periods of illiquidity because of market conditions, regulatory considerations or for other reasons.
−Removed: For example, U.S.
−Removed: futures exchanges and some foreign exchanges have regulations that limit the amount of fluctuation in futures contract prices that may occur during a single business day.
−Removed: These limits are generally referred to as “daily price fluctuation limits”
−Removed: or “daily limits,”
−Removed: and the maximum or minimum price of a contract on any given day as a result of these limits is referred to as a “limit price.”
−Removed: Once a limit price has been reached in a particular contract, it is usually the case that no trades may be made at a different price than specified in the limit.
−Removed: The duration of limit prices generally varies.
−Removed: Limit prices may have the effect of precluding the Fund from trading in a particular contract or requiring the Fund to liquidate contracts at disadvantageous times or prices.
−Removed: Either of those outcomes could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to pursue its investment objective.
−Removed: Because the Fund trades futures contracts, its capital is at risk due to changes in the value of futures contracts (market risk) or the inability of counterparties (including the Commodity Broker and/or exchange clearinghouses) to perform under the terms of the contracts (credit risk).
−Removed: On any business day, an Authorized Participant may place an order with the Transfer Agent to redeem one or more blocks of 50,000 Shares (“Creation Units”).
−Removed: Redemption orders must be placed by 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time.
−Removed: The day on which the Managing Owner receives a valid redemption order is the redemption order date.
−Removed: The day on which a redemption order is settled is the redemption order settlement date.

−Removed: The redemption procedures allow Authorized Participants to redeem Creation Units.
−Removed: Individual Shareholders may not redeem directly from the Fund.
−Removed: Instead, individual Shareholders may only redeem Shares in integral multiples of 50,000 and only through an Authorized Participant.
−Removed: Unless otherwise agreed to by the Managing Owner and the Authorized Participant as provided in the next sentence, by placing a redemption order, an Authorized Participant agrees to deliver the Creation Units to be redeemed through DTC’s book-entry system to the Fund no later than the redemption order settlement date as of 2:45 p.m., Eastern Time, on the business day immediately following the redemption order date.
−Removed: Upon submission of a redemption order, the Authorized Participant may request the Managing Owner to agree to a redemption order settlement date up to two business days after the redemption order date.
−Removed: By placing a redemption order, and prior to receipt of the redemption proceeds, an Authorized Participant’s DTC account is charged the non-refundable transaction fee due for the redemption order.
−Removed: Redemption orders may be placed either (i) through the Continuous Net Settlement (“CNS”) clearing processes of the National Securities Clearing Corporation (the “NSCC”) (the “CNS Clearing Process”) or (ii) if outside the CNS Clearing Process, only through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”
−Removed: or the “Depository”) (the “DTC Process”), or a successor depository, and only in exchange for cash.
−Removed: By placing a redemption order, and prior to receipt of the redemption proceeds, an Authorized Participant’s DTC account is charged the non-refundable transaction fee due for the redemption order and such fee is not borne by the Fund.
−Removed: The Fund is unaware of any known trends or any known demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in or that are reasonably likely to result in the registrant's liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way.
−Removed: Capital Resources
−Removed: The Fund does not have any material cash requirements as of the end of the latest fiscal period.
−Removed: The Fund is unaware of any known material trends, favorable or unfavorable, in the Fund’s capital resources.
−Removed: In the normal course of its business, the Fund is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk.
−Removed: The term “off-balance sheet risk”
−Removed: refers to an unrecorded potential liability that, even though it does not appear on the balance sheet, may result in a future obligation or loss.
−Removed: The financial instruments used by the Fund are commodity futures, the values of which are based upon an underlying asset and generally represent future commitments which have a reasonable possibility to be settled in cash or through physical delivery.
−Removed: The financial instruments are traded on an exchange and are standardized contracts.
−Removed: The Fund has not utilized, nor does it expect to utilize in the future, special purpose entities to facilitate off-balance sheet financing arrangements and has no loan guarantee arrangements or off-balance sheet arrangements of any kind, other than agreements entered into in the normal course of business noted above, which may include indemnification provisions related to certain risks service providers undertake in providing services to the Fund.
−Removed: While the Fund’s exposure under such indemnification provisions cannot be estimated, these general business indemnifications are not expected to have a material impact on the Fund’s financial position.
−Removed: The Managing Owner expects the risk of loss relating to indemnification to be remote.
−Removed: The Fund has financial obligations to the Managing Owner and the Commodity Broker under the Trust Agreement and its agreement with the Commodity Broker (the “Commodity Broker Agreement”), respectively.
−Removed: Management Fee payments made to the Managing Owner, pursuant to the Trust Agreement, are calculated as a fixed percentage of the Fund’s NAV.
−Removed: Commission payments to the Commodity Broker, pursuant to the Commodity Broker Agreement, are on a contract-by-contract, or round-turn, basis.
−Removed: As such, the Managing Owner cannot anticipate the number of payments that will be required under these arrangements for future periods as NAVs and trading activity will not be known until a future date.
−Removed: The Fund’s agreement with the Commodity Broker may be terminated by either party for various reasons.
−Removed: All Management Fees and commission payments are paid to the Managing Owner and the Commodity Broker, respectively.
−Removed: A primary cash flow activity of the Fund is to raise capital from Authorized Participants through the issuance of Shares.
−Removed: This cash is used to invest in United States Treasury Obligations, money market mutual funds and T-Bill ETFs, if any, and to meet margin requirements as a result of the positions taken in futures contracts to match the fluctuations of the Index.

−Removed: Operating Activities
−Removed: Net cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities was $319.4 million and $(541.3) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
−Removed: These amounts primarily include net income (loss), net purchases and sales of money market mutual funds and net purchases and sales of United States Treasury Obligations and affiliated investments.
−Removed: The Fund invests in United States Treasury Obligations, money market mutual funds and T-Bill ETFs (affiliated or otherwise), if any, for margin and/or cash management purposes.
−Removed: While the Fund's performance reflects the appreciation and depreciation of those holdings, the Fund's performance, whether positive or negative, is driven primarily by its strategy of trading futures contracts with the aim of seeking to track the Index.
−Removed: During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, $760.8 million was paid to purchase United States Treasury Obligations and $1,000.0 million was received from sales and maturing United States Treasury Obligations.

−Removed: Results of Operations
−Removed: FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 AND 2022
−Removed: The following graphs illustrate the percentage changes in (i) the market price of the Shares (as reflected by the line “Market”), (ii) the Fund’s NAV (as reflected by the line “NAV”), and (iii) the closing levels of the Index (as reflected by the line “DBIQ Diversified Agriculture Index ER”).
−Removed: Whenever the Treasury Income, Money Market Income and T-Bill ETF Income, if any, earned by the Fund exceeds Fund expenses, the price of the Shares generally exceeds the level of the Index primarily because the Share price reflects Treasury Income, Money Market Income and T-Bill ETF Income from the Fund’s collateral holdings whereas the Index does not consider such income.
−Removed: There can be no assurances that the price of the Shares or the Fund’s NAV will exceed the Index levels.
−Removed: No representation is being made that the Index will or is likely to achieve closing levels consistent with or similar to those set forth herein.
−Removed: Similarly, no representation is being made that the Fund will generate profits or losses similar to the Fund’s past performance or changes in the Index closing levels.

−Removed: Performance Summary
−Removed: This Report covers the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
−Removed: Past performance of the Fund is not necessarily indicative of future performance.
−Removed: The Index is intended to reflect the change in market value of the Index Commodities.
−Removed: In turn, the notional amounts of each Index Commodity are broadly in proportion to historic levels of the world’s production and stocks of such Index Commodities.
−Removed: The DBIQ Diversified Agriculture Index Total Return (the “DBIQ Diversified Agriculture TR”) consists of the Index plus 3-month United States Treasury Obligations returns.
−Removed: Past results of the Index and the DBIQ Diversified Agriculture TR are not necessarily indicative of future changes, positive or negative.
−Removed: The section “Summary of the DBIQ Diversified Agriculture TR and Underlying Index Commodity Returns for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022”
−Removed: below provides an overview of the changes in the closing levels of the DBIQ Diversified Agriculture TR by disclosing the change in market value of each underlying component Index Commodity through a “surrogate”
−Removed: (and analogous) index that also reflects 3-month United States Treasury Obligations returns.
−Removed: Please note also that the Fund’s objective is to track the Index (not the DBIQ Diversified Agriculture TR) and the Fund does not attempt to outperform or underperform the Index.
−Removed: The Index employs the optimum yield roll method with the objective of mitigating the negative effects of contango, the condition in which distant delivery prices for futures exceed spot prices, and maximizing the positive effects of backwardation, a condition opposite of contango.

−Removed: AGGREGATE RETURN
−Removed: If the Fund’s Treasury Income, Money Market Income and T-Bill ETF Income were to exceed the Fund’s fees and expenses, the aggregate return on an investment in the Fund would be expected to outperform the Index and underperform the DBIQ Diversified Agriculture TR.
−Removed: The only difference between (i) the Index (the “Excess Return Index”) and (ii) the DBIQ Diversified Agriculture TR (the “Total Return Index”) is that the Excess Return Index does not include interest income from fixed income securities while the Total Return Index does include such a component.
−Removed: Thus, the difference between the Excess Return Index and the Total Return Index is attributable entirely to the interest income attributable to the fixed income securities reflected in the Total Return Index.
−Removed: The Total Return Index does not actually hold any fixed income securities.
−Removed: If the Fund’s Treasury Income, Money Market Income and T-Bill ETF Income, if any, exceeds the Fund’s fees and expenses, then the amount of such excess is expected to be distributed periodically.
−Removed: The market price of the Shares is expected to closely track the Excess Return Index.
−Removed: The aggregate return on an investment in the Fund over any period is the sum of the capital appreciation or depreciation of the Shares over the period, plus the amount of any distributions during the period.
−Removed: Consequently, the Fund’s aggregate return is expected to outperform the Excess Return Index by the amount of the excess, if any, of the Fund’s Treasury Income, Money Market Income and T-Bill ETF Income over its fees and expenses.
−Removed: As a result of the Fund’s fees and expenses, however, the aggregate return on the Fund is expected to underperform the Total Return Index.
−Removed: If the Fund’s fees and expenses were to exceed the Fund’s Treasury Income, Money Market Income and T-Bill ETF Income, if any, the aggregate return on an investment in the Fund is expected to underperform the Excess Return Index.

−Removed: The total return for the Fund on a market value basis was +1.52%.
−Removed: Agricultural commodities posted slight positive performance in the third quarter of 2023, with most of the gains coming from sugar.
−Removed: Front month sugar prices rose nearly 15% over the quarter as concerns over a domestic supply shortfall rose with India, the world’s second largest sugar exporter, closing in on an export ban.
−Removed: Cocoa also rose on deteriorating crops in West Africa but fell sharply to end the quarter.
−Removed: While grains gained in July after Russia pulled out of the Black Sea Grain Initiative (BSGI) and escalated attacks on Ukraine’s grain export infrastructure, prices retreated starting the last week of July.
−Removed: Improving weather outlooks across the US Midwest, another bumper Russian wheat harvest, strong corn and soybean harvests in Brazil and the availability of alternative shipping routes all helped ease the blow from escalating tensions in Ukraine.
−Removed: US grains remained largely uncompetitive on global markets, sending prices even lower in September.
−Removed: For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the NYSE Arca market value of each Share decreased from $20.39 per Share to $20.03 per Share.

−Removed: The total return for the Fund on a market value basis was -1.76%.
−Removed: Agricultural commodities were mixed for the third quarter of 2022 but finished slightly down.
−Removed: From July to mid-August, this sector experienced investor outflows buoyed by recession fears and favorable weather, as well as the initial success of the Black Sea Grains Initiative, but shifted to inflows to end August as severe heatwaves and low precipitation threatened grain yields.
−Removed: In September, supply concerns were escalated due to a lagged harvest in the U.S., delays in Ukraine and China due to wet weather, lack of rain in Argentina (for wheat) and renewed geopolitical turbulence, though prices continued to be weighed down heavily by recession fears and U.S.
−Removed: dollar strength.
−Removed: Fund Share Net Asset Performance
−Removed: For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the NAV of each Share increased from $21.10 per Share to $21.42 per Share.
−Removed: Rising commodity futures contract prices for Cocoa, Cotton, Feeder Cattle, Lean Hogs, Live Cattle and Sugar were offset by falling commodity futures contract prices of Coffee, Corn, Kansas City Wheat, Soybeans and Wheat during the three months ended September 30, 2023, contributing to an overall 0.42% increase in the level of the Index and to a 1.78% increase in the level of the DBIQ Diversified Agriculture Index TR.
−Removed: The total return for the Fund on a NAV basis was +1.52%.
−Removed: Net income (loss) for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $13.2 million, primarily resulting from $11.2 million of income, net realized gain (loss) of $13.0 million, net change in unrealized gain (loss) of $(9.2) million and net operating expenses of $1.8 million.
−Removed: For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the NAV of each Share decreased from $20.38 per Share to $20.06 per Share.
−Removed: Falling commodity futures contract prices for Cocoa, Coffee, Cotton, Feeder Cattle, Lean Hogs, Soybeans and Sugar were offset by rising commodity futures contract prices of Corn, Kansas City Wheat, Live Cattle and Wheat during the three months ended September 30, 2022, contributing to an overall 1.82% decrease in the level of the Index and to a 1.17% decrease in the level of the DBIQ Diversified Agriculture Index TR.
−Removed: The total return for the Fund on a NAV basis was -1.57%.
−Removed: Net income (loss) for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $(34.5) million, primarily resulting from $6.8 million of income, net realized gain (loss) of $(63.8) million, net change in unrealized gain (loss) of $26.0 million and net operating expenses of $3.5 million.

−Removed: The total return for the Fund on a market value basis was +6.20%.
−Removed: Agricultural commodities remained in positive territory for the first three quarters of 2023, supported by gains in sugar, cocoa, live cattle, and feeder cattle.
−Removed: The cocoa rally was driven by supply shortfalls in the Ivory Coast, the largest global exporter, while sugar prices rallied on Indian export uncertainty.
−Removed: Live cattle and feeder cattle also added positive performance on dwindled herd counts, while grains (wheat, corn, soybeans) were all detractors.
−Removed: Robust wheat harvests from Russia and Australia, projections for bumper Brazilian corn and soybeans harvests, as well as the continued extension of the Black Sea Grain Initiative (BSGI), continued to ease supply concerns through the first half of the year.
−Removed: While Russia did pull out of the BSGI in July, the impact was mitigated given strong Russian wheat exports and the availability of alternative shipping routes.
−Removed: US grains were also largely uncompetitive on global markets, adding further pressure.
−Removed: For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the NYSE Arca market value of each Share increased from $19.75 per Share to $20.03 per Share.
−Removed: The Share price low and high for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and related change from the Share price on December 31, 2021 was as follows:

−Removed: Despite the negative performance for agricultural commodities in the second and third quarters of 2022, the Fund still managed to lock in a small gain year-to-date.
−Removed: The largest contributors were grains which rallied to multi-year highs in the first quarter following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine given both countries are vital players in the global grains trade.
−Removed: Additionally, significant risk premium was added back to the grains market to end the third quarter after tensions in Ukraine escalated with Russian President Vladimir Putin threatening to use nuclear weapons and annexing territories in response to his military setbacks.
−Removed: Increasing energy prices also continued to drive up agricultural processing and transportation costs though underperformance in softs and livestock commodities dented returns.
−Removed: Fund Share Net Asset Performance
−Removed: For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the NAV of each Share increased from $20.16 per Share to $21.42 per Share.
−Removed: Rising commodity futures contract prices for Cocoa, Cotton, Feeder Cattle, Live Cattle and Sugar, were offset by falling commodity
−Removed: futures contract prices of Coffee, Corn, Kansas City Wheat, Lean Hogs, Soybeans and Wheat during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, contributing to an overall 3.11% increase in the level of the Index and to a 7.10% increase in the level of the DBIQ Diversified Agriculture Index TR.
−Removed: The total return for the Fund on a NAV basis was +6.25%.
