About this ETF
The Invesco DB Base Metals Fund (DBB) endeavors to replicate the performance, whether upward or downward, of the DBIQ Optimum Yield Industrial Metals Index Excess Return (referred to as the Index). The Fund's total return is further augmented by interest income from its investments, predominantly U.S. Treasury securities and money market holdings, after deducting its operating expenses. This Fund offers investors an efficient and accessible avenue for gaining exposure to commodity futures. The underlying Index adheres to a defined set of rules and is composed of futures contracts on actively traded and widely used industrial metals: aluminum, zinc, and Grade A copper. It is important to note that direct investment in this specific Index is not possible. Both the Fund and its benchmark Index undergo adjustments and re-composition annually in November. However, given its speculative characteristics and the inherently volatile nature of the markets it operates within, this Fund may not be appropriate for every investor. The inherent instability of futures contracts means that significant fluctuations in their market values could result in considerable financial setbacks. For a complete overview of potential risks, prospective investors should refer to the "Risk and Other Information" section and the Fund's official Prospectus. Additionally, details regarding compliance notices for IRS Section 1446(f) concerning Publicly Traded Partnerships (PTPs) are accessible via our ETF tax center, and an FAQ for Form 1065 Schedule K-3, relevant to Invesco DB Funds (Securities Act of 1933), is also available.

Guided help: AUM is fund size. The expense ratio is the yearly cost baked into returns. NAV is the value of what the fund owns per share; the market price can sit slightly above (premium) or below (discount) it. Total return assumes distributions were reinvested. Every dataset shows its own as-of date because holdings, assets and quotes update on different schedules.
