CAUTIONARY
STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This
Annual Report on Form 10-K (this “Report”) includes forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”), that involve substantial risks and uncertainties.
The matters discussed throughout this Report that are not historical facts are
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on
Invesco DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund’s (the “Fund”) and Invesco Capital
Management LLC’s (the “Managing Owner”) current expectations, estimates and
projections about the future results, performance, prospects and opportunities
of the Fund and the Fund’s business and industry and their beliefs and
assumptions about future events and speak only as of the date on which they are
made. Words such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,”
“outlook” and “estimate,” as well as similar words and phrases, signify
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of
future results. Future economic and industry trends that could potentially
impact the Fund and its performance are difficult to predict. Conditions, risks
and uncertainties in the markets for financial instruments that the Fund trades,
in the markets for related physical commodities, in the legal and regulatory
regimes applicable to the Managing Owner, the Fund, and the Fund’s service
providers, in the broader economy and in global politics may cause actual
results to differ materially from those expressed by such forward-looking
statements. There can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements
included in this Report will prove to be accurate. These forward-looking
statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors
including, but not limited to, those described in this Report, including in Part
I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation” (“MD&A”), and
other Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings by the Fund that could
cause the actual results, performance, prospects or opportunities of the Fund to
differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking
statements.
You
should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Except as
expressly required by the Federal securities laws, the Fund and Managing Owner
undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking
statements or the risks, uncertainties or other factors described in this Report
as a result of new information, future events or changed circumstances or for
any other reason after the date of this Report.
PART
I
ITEM
1. BUSINESS.
Introduction
Invesco
DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund (the “Fund”), a separate series of Invesco DB US
Dollar Index Trust (the “Trust”), was formed as a Delaware statutory trust on
August 3, 2006. The term of the Fund is perpetual (unless terminated earlier in
certain circumstances) as provided for in the Fifth Amended and Restated
Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement of the Fund, as amended (the “Trust
Agreement”). The Fund has an unlimited number of shares authorized for
issuance.
Invesco
Capital Management LLC has served as the managing owner (the “Managing Owner”),
commodity pool operator and commodity trading advisor of the Fund since February
23, 2015. The Managing Owner holds 40 general shares (the “General Shares”) of
the Fund. The fiscal year end of the Fund is December 31st.
The
Fund establishes long positions in certain futures contracts (the “DX
Contracts”), with a view to tracking the changes, whether positive or negative,
in the level of the Deutsche Bank Long USD Currency Portfolio Index–Excess
ReturnTM
(the “Index”), over time. The Index was renamed effective January 17, 2017.
Prior to January 17, 2017, the Index was known as the Deutsche Bank Long US
Dollar Index (USDX®)
Futures Index-Excess ReturnTM.
The Index, as renamed, is identical to the Index prior to its name change on
January 17, 2017. The performance of the Fund also is intended to reflect the
excess, if any, of the sum of the Fund’s interest income from its holdings of
United States Treasury Obligations (“Treasury Income”), dividends from its
holdings in money market mutual funds (affiliated or otherwise) (“Money Market
Income”) and dividends or distributions of capital gains from its holdings of
T-Bill ETFs (as defined below) (“T-Bill ETF Income”) over the expenses of the
Fund.
The
Fund may invest directly in United States Treasury Obligations. The Fund may
also gain exposure to United States Treasury Obligations through investments in
exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) (affiliated or otherwise) that track indexes that
measure the performance of United States Treasury Obligations with a maximum
remaining maturity of up to 12 months (“T-Bill ETFs”). The Fund holds as
collateral United States Treasury Obligations, money market mutual funds and
T-Bill ETFs (affiliated or otherwise), if any, for margin and/or cash management
purposes. While the Fund’s performance reflects the appreciation or depreciation
of those holdings, the Fund’s performance, whether positive or negative, is
driven primarily by its strategy of trading DX Contracts with the aim of seeking
to track the Index.
If
the Managing Owner determines in its commercially reasonable judgment that it
has become impracticable, including in scenarios wherein the futures market for
a DX Contract is thinly traded, or inefficient for any reason for the Fund to
gain full or partial exposure to a DX Contract, the Fund may invest
in:
•
a
different month DX Contract other than the specific DX Contract that was
originally required by the Index,
•
another
futures contract substantially similar to the DX Contracts, if
available,
•
the
futures contracts referencing the Index Currencies, or
•
a
forward agreement, swap, or other OTC derivative referencing the Index
Currencies,
if,
in the commercially reasonable judgment of the Managing Owner, such an
instrument tends to exhibit trading prices that correlate with the DX
Contract.
The
Index is calculated to reflect the changes in market value over time, whether
positive or negative, of long positions in DX Contracts. The Index reflects the
changes in market value over time, whether positive or negative, of the DX
Contracts which expire during the months of March, June, September and December.
The Fund seeks to track the Index by establishing long positions in DX
Contracts. DX Contracts are linked to the six underlying currencies (the “Index
Currencies”) of the ICE U.S. Dollar Index (USDX®)
(the “USDX®”).
The Index Currencies are the Euro, Japanese Yen, British Pound, Canadian Dollar,
Swedish Krona and Swiss Franc. The notional amounts of the Index Currencies
included in the USDX®
reflect a geometric weighted average of the change in the Index Currencies’
exchange rates against the U.S. dollar relative to March 1973. March 1973 was
chosen as a base period of the USDX®
because it represents a significant milestone in foreign exchange history when
the world’s major trading nations allowed their currencies to float freely
against each other.
The
Fund offers common units of beneficial interest (the “Shares”) only to certain
eligible financial institutions (the “Authorized Participants”) in one or more
blocks of 50,000 Shares (“Creation Units”). The Fund commenced investment
operations on February 15, 2007. The Fund commenced trading on the American
Stock Exchange (which became the NYSE Alternext US LLC) on February 20, 2007
and, since November 25, 2008, has been listed on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “NYSE
Arca”).
Index
Description
The
Managing Owner has entered into a license agreement with Deutsche Bank
Securities, Inc. (the “Index Sponsor”) to use the Index. The Managing Owner pays
the Index Sponsor a licensing fee and an index services fee for performing its
duties.
These
fees constitute a portion of the routine operational, administrative and other
ordinary expenses which are paid out of the management fee paid to the Managing
Owner (the “Management Fee”) and are not charged to or reimbursed by the
Fund.
Neither
the
Managing Owner nor any affiliate of the Managing Owner has any rights to
influence the selection of the futures contracts underlying the
Index.
The
Fund is not sponsored or endorsed by Deutsche Bank AG, Deutsche Bank Securities,
Inc. or any subsidiary or affiliate of Deutsche Bank AG or Deutsche Bank
Securities, Inc. (collectively, “Deutsche Bank”). The Deutsche Bank Long USD
Currency Portfolio Index—Excess ReturnTM
(the
“Index”) is the exclusive property of Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc. Neither
Deutsche Bank nor any other party involved in, or related to, making or
compiling the Index makes any representation or warranty, express or implied,
concerning the Index, the Fund or the advisability of investing in securities
generally. Neither Deutsche Bank nor any other party involved in, or related to,
making or compiling the Index has any obligation to take the needs of the
Managing Owner or its clients into consideration in determining, composing or
calculating the Index. Neither Deutsche Bank nor any other party involved in, or
related to, making or compiling the Index is responsible for or has participated
in the determination of the timing of, prices at, quantities of or valuation of
the Fund. Neither Deutsche Bank nor any other party involved in, or related to,
making or compiling the Index has any obligation or liability in connection with
the administration or trading of the Fund.
NEITHER
DEUTSCHE BANK NOR ANY OTHER PARTY INVOLVED IN, OR RELATED TO, MAKING OR
COMPILING THE INDEX, WARRANTS OR GUARANTEES THE ACCURACY AND/OR THE COMPLETENESS
OF THE INDEX OR ANY DATA INCLUDED THEREIN AND SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY
ERRORS, OMISSIONS, OR INTERRUPTIONS THEREIN. NEITHER DEUTSCHE BANK NOR ANY OTHER
PARTY INVOLVED IN, OR RELATED TO, MAKING OR COMPILING THE INDEX, MAKES ANY
WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO RESULTS TO BE OBTAINED BY INVESCO CAPITAL
MANAGEMENT LLC FROM THE USE OF THE INDEX OR ANY DATA INCLUDED THEREIN. NEITHER
DEUTSCHE BANK NOR ANY OTHER PARTY INVOLVED IN, OR RELATED TO, MAKING OR
COMPILING THE INDEX, MAKES ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, AND EXPRESSLY
DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE
OR USE WITH RESPECT TO THE INDEX OR ANY DATA INCLUDED THEREIN. WITHOUT LIMITING
ANY OF THE FOREGOING, IN NO EVENT SHALL DEUTSCHE BANK OR ANY OTHER PARTY
INVOLVED IN, OR RELATED TO, MAKING OR COMPILING THE INDEX HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR
DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES OR
LOSSES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS), EVEN IF NOTIFIED OF THE POSSIBILITY THEREOF.
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED TO THE CONTRARY, THERE ARE NO THIRD PARTY
BENEFICIARIES OF ANY AGREEMENTS OR ARRANGEMENTS BETWEEN DEUTSCHE BANK AND
INVESCO CAPITAL MANAGEMENT LLC.
No
purchaser, seller or holder of the Shares of this Fund, or any other person or
entity, should use or refer to any Deutsche Bank trade name, trademark or
service mark to sponsor, endorse, market or promote this Fund without first
contacting Deutsche Bank to determine whether Deutsche Bank’s permission is
required. Under no circumstances may any person or entity claim any affiliation
with Deutsche Bank without the written permission of Deutsche Bank.
The
Index Sponsor may from time to time subcontract the provision of the calculation
and other services described below to one or more third parties.
The
Index is calculated to reflect the changes in market value over time, whether
positive or negative, of long positions in DX Contracts. The changes in market
value over time, whether positive or negative, of DX Contracts is tied to the
USDX®.
The USDX®
is composed of notional amounts of the Index Currencies. The notional amounts of
the Index Currencies included in the USDX®
reflect a geometric weighted average of the change in the Index Currencies’
exchange rates against the U.S. dollar relative to March 1973. March 1973 was
chosen as a base period of the USDX®
because it represents a significant milestone in foreign exchange history when
the world’s major trading nations allowed their currencies to float freely
against each other.

Index
Calculation
The
Index reflects the changes in market value over time, whether positive or
negative, of long positions in the first to expire DX Contracts relative to the
value of the dollar as of December 31, 1986 (the “Base Date”), which expire in
March, June, September and December. On the Base Date, the closing level was
100.00. Although the DX Contract started trading in 1985, the Base Date of
December 31, 1986 was selected because reasonably reliable pricing data was not
available prior to December 31, 1986. A quote of “105.50” means the U.S.
dollar’s value has risen 5.50% since the Base Date relative to the underlying
Index Currencies which comprise the USDX®.
The
Index Sponsor calculates the closing level of the Index on both an excess return
basis and a total return basis. The excess return index reflects the changes in
market value over time, whether positive or negative, of the DX Contracts. The
total return is the sum of the changes in market value over time, whether
positive or negative, of the DX Contracts plus the return of 3-month U.S.
Treasury Bills. The closing levels of the Index have been calculated using
historic exchange closing price data of the DX Contracts since the Base
Date.
The
use of long positions on DX Contracts in the construction of the Index causes
the Index to rise as a result of any upward price movement in the DX Contracts.
In turn, this appreciation in the long DX Contracts reflects the rise of the
U.S. dollar relative to the underlying Index Currencies which comprise the
USDX®.
Index
Rolls and Rebalancing of the USDX®
The
underlying DX Contracts of the Index are rolled quarterly over three consecutive
business days starting on the Wednesday prior to the applicable IMM Date (each
an “Index Roll Day”). “IMM Date” means the third Wednesday of March, June,
September and December, a traditional settlement date in the International Money
Market.
DX
Contracts are rolled on each Index Roll Day as follows:
•
On
each Index Roll Day, 1/3 of the DX Contracts that will expire on the next IMM
Date are sold and positions in the DX Contracts that expire on the IMM Date
following the next IMM Date are purchased.
•
On
each Index Roll Day, new notional holdings are calculated for the old DX
Contracts leaving the Index as well as the new DX Contracts entering the
Index.
•
On
all days that are not Index Roll Days, the notional holdings of the DX Contracts
in the Index remain constant.
There
are no regularly scheduled adjustments or rebalancing of the USDX®.
The USDX®
has only been adjusted once, when the Euro was introduced as the common currency
for the European Union (EU) bloc of countries. Without any other adjustments,
the combination of components and their respective weightings in the
USDX®
have yielded performance results similar to other commonly used U.S. dollar
indexes, whether those index methodologies are based on trade weights or capital
flow weights.
The
Trustee
Under
the Trust Agreement, Wilmington Trust Company, the trustee of the Fund (the
“Trustee”), has the power and authority to execute and file certificates as
required by the Delaware Statutory Trust Act and to accept service of process on
the Fund in the State of Delaware. The Managing Owner has the exclusive
management and control of all aspects of the business of the Fund. The Trustee
will serve in that capacity until such time as the Managing Owner removes the
Trustee or the Trustee resigns and a successor is appointed by the Managing
Owner. The Trustee will have no duty or liability to supervise or monitor the
performance of the Managing Owner, nor will the Trustee have any liability for
the acts or omissions of the Managing Owner.
The
Managing Owner
The
Managing Owner was formed on February 7, 2003. The Managing Owner is an
affiliate of Invesco Ltd. The Managing Owner was formed to be the managing owner
of investment vehicles such as ETFs and has been managing non-commodity futures
based ETFs since 2003 and commodity futures based ETFs since 2014. The Managing
Owner serves as the commodity pool operator and commodity trading advisor of the
Fund. The Managing Owner is registered as a commodity pool operator and
commodity trading advisor with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the
“CFTC”) and is a member of, and approved as a swap firm by, the National Futures
Association (the “NFA”). As a registered commodity pool operator and commodity
trading advisor, with respect to the Fund, the Managing Owner must comply with
various regulatory requirements under the Commodity Exchange Act of 1936,
as
amended
(the “Commodity Exchange Act”) and the rules and regulations of the CFTC and the
NFA, including investor protection requirements, antifraud prohibitions,
disclosure requirements, and reporting and recordkeeping requirements. The
Managing Owner also is subject to periodic inspections and audits by the CFTC
and NFA.
The
Managing Owner’s main business offices are located at 3500 Lacey Road, Suite
700, Downers Grove, Illinois 60515, and its telephone number is (800)
983-0903.
The
Fund pays the Managing Owner the Management Fee, monthly in arrears, in an
amount equal to 0.75% per annum of the daily net asset value (“NAV”) of the
Fund.
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 fee that the Fund may incur
through such investment 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 this fee waiver on 60 days’ notice.
Pursuant
to the Trust Agreement, the Fund will indemnify the Managing Owner against any
losses, judgments, liabilities, expenses and amounts paid in settlement of any
claims sustained by it in connection with its activities on behalf of the Fund,
except for any expenses resulting from gross negligence or willful
misconduct.
The
Commodity Broker
Morgan
Stanley & Co. LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the
Fund’s futures clearing broker (the “Commodity Broker”). The Commodity Broker is
registered with the CFTC as a futures commission merchant (“FCM”) and is a
member of the NFA in such capacity.
A
variety of executing brokers execute futures transactions on behalf of the Fund.
Such executing brokers give-up all such transactions to the Commodity Broker. In
its capacity as clearing broker, the Commodity Broker may execute or receive
transactions executed by others and clears all of the Fund’s futures
transactions and performs certain administrative and custodial services for the
Fund. The Commodity Broker is responsible, among other things, for providing
periodic accountings of all dealings and actions taken by the Trust on behalf of
the Fund during the reporting period, together with an accounting of all
securities, cash or other indebtedness or obligations held by it or its nominees
for or on behalf of the Fund.
The
Fund pays 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 trading activities. The
Commodity Broker’s brokerage commissions and trading fees are determined on a
contract-by-contract basis. Brokerage commissions and fees in any future fiscal
year or any part of any future fiscal year may be greater than fees incurred in
prior fiscal years. On average, total charges paid to the Commodity Broker were
less than $5.00, $5.00 and $5.00 per round-turn trade1
for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
1
A round-turn trade is a completed transaction involving both a purchase and a
liquidating sale, or a sale followed by a covering purchase.
The
Administrator, Custodian and Transfer Agent
The
Bank of New York Mellon (the “Administrator”, “Custodian” and “Transfer Agent”)
is the administrator, custodian and transfer agent of the Fund. The Fund and the
Administrator have entered into separate administrative and accounting,
custodian, transfer agency and service agreements (collectively referred to as
the “Administration Agreement”).
The
Bank of New York Mellon, a banking corporation organized under the laws of the
State of New York with trust powers, has an office at 2 Hanson Place, Brooklyn,
New York, 11217. The Bank of New York Mellon is subject to supervision by the
New York State Department of Financial Services and the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System.
Pursuant
to the Administration Agreement, the Administrator performs or supervises the
performance of services necessary for the operation and administration of the
Fund (other than making investment decisions), including receiving and
processing orders from Authorized Participants to create and redeem Creation
Units, NAV calculations, accounting and other fund administrative services. The
Administrator maintains certain financial books and records, including: Creation
Unit creation and redemption records; fund accounting records; ledgers with
respect to assets, liabilities, capital, income and expenses; the registrar,
transfer journals and related details; and trading and related documents
received from the Commodity Broker. The Managing Owner pays the Administrator
administrative services fees out of the Management Fee.
The
Distributor
Invesco
Distributors, Inc. is the Fund’s distributor (the “Distributor”). Pursuant to
the Distribution Services Agreement among the Managing Owner, the Fund and the
Distributor, the Distributor assists the Managing Owner and the Administrator
with certain functions and duties relating to distribution and marketing
services to the Fund including reviewing and approving marketing
materials.
The
Distribution Services Agreement is terminable without penalty on 60 days'
written notice by the Managing Owner or by the Distributor. The Distribution
Services Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of its
assignment.
Pursuant
to the Distribution Services Agreement, the Fund will indemnify and hold
harmless the Distributor and each of its directors and officers and each person,
if any, who controls the Distributor within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act, against any loss, liability, claim, damages or expenses
(including the reasonable cost of investigating or defending any alleged loss,
liability, claim, damages or expense and reasonable counsel fees incurred in
connection therewith) arising by reason of any person acquiring any Shares,
based upon the ground that the registration statement, prospectus, statement of
additional information, shareholder reports or other information filed or made
public by the Fund (as from time to time amended) included an untrue statement
of a material fact or omitted a material fact required to be stated or necessary
in order to make the statements therein not misleading under the Securities Act
or any other statute or the common law.
The
Managing Owner pays the Distributor a distribution fee out of the Management
Fee.
Index
Sponsor
The
Managing Owner, on behalf of the Fund, has appointed Deutsche Bank Securities,
Inc. to serve as the Index Sponsor. The Index Sponsor calculates and publishes
the daily index levels and the indicative intraday index levels. Additionally,
the Index Sponsor also calculates the indicative value per Share of the Fund
throughout each business day.
The
Managing Owner pays the Index Sponsor a licensing fee and an index services fee
out of the Management Fee for performing its duties, as discussed above under
the section titled “Index Description”.
Tax
Reporting
The
Fund has retained the services of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to assist with
certain tax reporting requirements of the Fund and its shareholders (the
“Shareholders”).
Regulation
Futures
exchanges in the United States are subject to regulation under the Commodity
Exchange Act by the CFTC, the governmental agency having responsibility for
regulation of futures exchanges and trading on those exchanges.
The
Commodity Exchange Act and the CFTC also regulate the activities of “commodity
trading advisors” and “commodity pool operators” and the CFTC has adopted
regulations with respect to certain of such persons’ activities. Pursuant to its
authority, the CFTC requires a commodity pool operator (such as the Managing
Owner) to keep accurate, current and orderly records with respect to each pool
it operates. The CFTC may suspend the registration of a commodity pool operator
if the CFTC finds that the operator has violated the Commodity Exchange Act or
regulations thereunder and in certain other circumstances. Suspension,
restriction or termination of the Managing Owner’s registration as a commodity
pool operator would prevent it, until such time (if any) as such registration
were to be reinstated, from managing, and might result in the termination of,
the Fund. The Commodity Exchange Act gives the CFTC similar authority with
respect to the activities of commodity trading advisors, such as the Managing
Owner. If the registration of a managing owner as a commodity trading advisor
were to be terminated, restricted or suspended, the managing owner would be
unable, until such time (if any) as such registration were to be reinstated, to
render trading advice to the Fund. The Fund is not registered with the CFTC in
any capacity.
The
Commodity Exchange Act requires all FCMs, such as the Commodity Broker, to meet
and maintain specified fitness and financial requirements, to segregate customer
funds from proprietary funds and account separately for all customers’ funds and
positions, and to maintain specified books and records open to inspection by the
staff of the CFTC.
The
Commodity Exchange Act also gives the states certain powers to enforce its
provisions and the regulations of the CFTC.
Shareholders
are afforded certain rights for reparations under the Commodity Exchange Act.
Shareholders may also be able to maintain a private right of action for certain
violations of the Commodity Exchange Act. The CFTC has adopted rules
implementing the reparation provisions of the Commodity Exchange Act which
provide that any person may file a complaint for a reparations award with the
CFTC for violation of the Commodity Exchange Act against a floor broker, FCM,
introducing broker, commodity trading advisor, commodity pool operator, and
their respective associated persons.
Pursuant
to authority in the Commodity Exchange Act, the NFA was formed and registered
with the CFTC as a “registered futures association.” At the present time, the
NFA is the only non-exchange self-regulatory organization for derivatives
professionals. NFA members are subject to NFA standards relating to fair trade
practices, market integrity, and consumer protection. As the self-regulatory
body of the derivatives industry, the NFA promulgates rules governing the
conduct of derivatives professionals and disciplines those professionals who do
not comply with such standards. The CFTC has delegated to the NFA responsibility
for the registration of commodity trading advisors, commodity pool operators,
FCMs, introducing brokers, and swap dealers, among others, and their respective
associated persons, as applicable, and floor brokers. The Commodity Broker and
the Managing Owner are members of the NFA (the Fund is not required to become a
member of the NFA).
The
CFTC has no authority to regulate trading on foreign futures exchanges and
markets but permits direct access to such markets from the United States with
respect to foreign boards of trade that are registered as such with the
CFTC.
Employees
The
Fund has no employees.

ITEM
1A. RISK FACTORS.
An
investment in Shares involves a high degree of risk. Investors should consider
carefully all of the risks described below, together with the other information
contained in this Report and the Fund’s prospectus dated August 26, 2025 (the
“Prospectus”), before making a decision to invest in Shares. If any of the
following risks occur, the business, financial condition and results of
operations of the Fund may be adversely affected.
Summary
of Risk Factors
•
Past
performance is not necessarily indicative of future results; all or
substantially all of an investment in the Fund could be lost.
•
The
Fund’s trading of futures contracts takes place in very volatile
markets.
•
Investments
in foreign exchange related products are subject to many factors which
contribute to potential volatility, including, but not limited
to:
•
National
debt levels and trade deficits, including changes in balances of payments and
trade;
•
Domestic
and foreign inflation rates and investors’ expectations concerning inflation
rates;
•
Domestic
and foreign interest rates and investors’ expectations concerning interest
rates;
•
Currency
exchange rates;
•
Investment
and trading activities of mutual funds, hedge funds and currency
funds;
•
Global
or regional political, economic or financial events and
situations;
•
Supply
and demand changes which influence the foreign exchange rates of various
currencies;
•
Monetary
policies of governments (including exchange control programs, restrictions on
local exchanges or markets and limitations on foreign investment in a country or
on investment by residents of a country in other countries), trade restrictions,
currency devaluations and revaluations;
•
Governmental
intervention in the currency market, directly and by regulation, in order to
influence currency prices; and
•
Expectations
among market participants that a currency’s value soon will
change.
•
The
Fund is subject to fees and expenses in the aggregate amount of approximately
0.76% per annum and will be successful only if its annual returns from futures
trading, plus its annual Treasury Income, Money Market Income and T-Bill ETF
Income exceed such fees and expenses.
•
DX
Contracts are not subject to position limits imposed by the CFTC and/or futures
exchange rules. There can be no assurance that the DX Contracts will not become
subject to position limits. Should the Fund become subject to position limits
with respect to its DX Contracts holdings, the Fund’s positions in DX Contracts
might be required to be aggregated with positions in other accounts that the
Managing Owner owns or for which it controls trading unless an exemption applies
under the applicable regulations of the CFTC or the futures exchange on which
the DX Contracts trade. Should the Fund become subject to position limits, the
Fund’s ability to issue new Creation Units or to reinvest income in additional
DX Contracts may be impaired or limited. This may adversely affect the
correlation between the market price of the Shares and the NAV of the Fund,
which could result in Shares trading at a premium or discount to the NAV of the
Fund.
•
There
can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve profits or avoid losses,
significant or otherwise.
•
Performance
of the Fund may not track the Index during particular periods or over the long
term. Such tracking error may cause the Fund to outperform or underperform the
Index.
•
Disruptions
in the ability to create or redeem Creation Units may adversely affect
investors.
•
Certain
potential conflicts of interest exist between the Managing Owner, the Commodity
Broker (as defined herein) and their affiliates and
Shareholders.
•
Although
the Managing Owner attempts to monitor for conflicts, it is extremely difficult,
if not impossible, for the Managing Owner to ensure that the conflicts will not,
in fact, result in adverse consequences to the Fund and the
Shareholders.
•
The
Fund’s NAV may not always correspond to the market price of the Shares and, as a
result, Shares may trade at prices greater than NAV (at a premium), at NAV, or
less than NAV (at a discount).

As
a result of increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets,
political turmoil in the U.S. or in other countries, or armed conflict between
countries or in a geographic region, for example the current conflicts between
Russia and Ukraine in Europe and Hamas and Israel in the Middle East, may impact
the Fund's investments. Such turmoil or conflicts, and other corresponding
events, have had, and could continue to have, severe effects on regional and

Market
Risks
Fluctuations
in the Price of Assets Held by the Fund Could Have a Materially Adverse Effect
on the Value of an Investment in Shares.
The
Shares are designed to reflect as closely as possible the changes, positive or
negative, in the level of the Index, over time, through the Fund’s investment in
the DX Contracts. The value of the Shares relates directly to the value of the
portfolio, less the liabilities (including estimated accrued but unpaid
expenses) of the Fund. The price of the DX Contracts may fluctuate widely.
Several factors may affect the prices of the DX Contracts, including, but not
limited to:
•
National
debt levels and trade deficits, including changes in balances of payments and
trade;
•
Domestic
and foreign interest rates and investors’ expectations concerning interest
rates;
•
Domestic
and foreign inflation rates and investors’ expectations concerning inflation
rates;
•
Currency
exchange rates;
•
Investment
and trading activities by other futures market participants;
•
Global
or regional political, economic or financial events and situations, including
changes in trade regulation or economic sanctions and government regulation and
intervention;
•
War
or acts of terrorism;
•
Supply
and demand changes which influence the foreign exchange rates of various
currencies;
•
Monetary
policies of central banks (including exchange control programs, restrictions on
local exchanges or markets and limitations on foreign investment in a country or
on investment by residents of a country in other countries), trade restrictions,
currency devaluations and re-valuations;
•
Governmental
intervention in the currency market, directly and by regulation, in order to
influence currency prices; and
•
Expectations
among market participants that a currency’s value soon will
change.
NAV
May Not Always Correspond to Market Price and, as a Result, Creation Units May
Be Created or Redeemed at a Value that Differs from the Market Price of the
Shares.
Shares
may trade at, above or below their NAV. The NAV fluctuates with changes in the
market value of the Fund’s assets. The trading price of Shares fluctuates in
accordance with changes in the NAV, intraday changes in the value of the futures
contracts and market supply and demand. The amount of the discount or premium in
the trading price of the Shares relative to their NAV may be influenced by
non-concurrent trading hours between NYSE Arca (the exchange on which the Shares
trade) and ICE Futures U.S. While the Shares are expected to trade on NYSE Arca
until 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time), liquidity in the markets for the DX Contracts is
expected to be reduced whenever the market for those contracts are closed. As a
result, trading spreads, and the resulting premium or discount on Shares, may
widen during these gaps in market trading hours.
The
NYSE Arca May Halt Trading in the Shares Which Would Adversely Impact Your
Ability to Sell Shares.
The
Shares are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca. Trading in Shares may be halted
due to market conditions or in light of certain procedures and safeguards under
NYSE Arca rules. In addition, trading is subject to trading halts caused by
extraordinary market volatility pursuant to “circuit breaker” rules that require
trading to be halted for a specified period based on a specified market decline.
If the Fund were no longer to meet the requirements necessary to maintain the
listing of its Shares, the Shares would be delisted. In such a scenario, the
Fund would be terminated.
The
Lack of an Active Trading Market for the Shares May Result in Losses on Your
Investment at the Time of Disposition of Your Shares.
Although
the Shares are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, there can be no guarantee
that an active trading market for the Shares will be maintained. If you need to
sell your Shares at a time when no active market for them exists, the price you
receive for your Shares, assuming that you are able to sell them, likely will be
lower than the price you would receive if an active market did exist.
Volatility
May Cause the Total Loss of Your Investment.
Futures
contract prices have a high degree of volatility and are subject to rapid and
substantial changes. Consequently, there is a risk that the value of your
investment in the Fund could decrease significantly due to rapid and substantial
changes in the prices of futures contracts held by the Fund. The Index’s average
annual volatility since inception is 8.09%. Average annual volatility is the
average of the Index’s volatility each year since its inception. Yearly
volatility is the relative rate at which the price of the Index moves up and
down, found by calculating the annualized standard deviation of the daily change
in price for each business day in the given year. However, the average annual
volatility should not be interpreted as the most-likely outcome. As demonstrated
during the unprecedented market conditions in 2020, volatility in certain
futures contracts may spike significantly during periods of global economic and
social stress. At such times, if the Fund holds a futures contract that
experiences the full impact of such market stresses, the volatility of its
investments could greatly surpass the Index’s average annual
volatility.
In
addition, the Fund enters sell orders with the Commodity Broker from time to
time, to liquidate DX Contract positions in order to satisfy redemption requests
or to pay expenses and liabilities. The Fund is subject to the risk that
temporary aberrations or distortions will occur in the market for DX Contracts
at the time those orders are executed. The prices received by the Fund from the
liquidation of its positions could be adversely affected, which in turn could
adversely affect the value of the Shares. Those aberrations or distortions may
result from trading activities by other market participants or actions taken by
the Commodity Broker, the CFTC, the exchange or other regulatory authorities. If
the Fund’s positions are liquidated at inopportune times or during times when
the market is temporarily distorted or otherwise experiencing a pricing
aberration, the value of the Shares may be adversely affected.
Further,
in periods of heightened volatility, the bid and ask “spread” for purchasing
shares of the Fund typically widens. Accordingly, an investor’s return on
investment may be negatively impacted when transacted in
Shares.
Other
Market Participants' Trading of DX Contracts May Adversely Affect the Price that
the Fund Pays for DX Contracts.
The
prices that the Fund pays for DX Contracts may be adversely affected by the
trading of DX Contracts by other market participants. Transactions by other
market participants may be based on their awareness of the Fund’s positions in
DX Contracts. If other market participants are able to anticipate the timing of
the Fund’s DX Contract transactions, for instance, they may be able to execute
transactions in advance of the Fund. If that were to occur, those market
participants may receive more favorable pricing for their DX Contract
transactions than the Fund does for its own, subsequent DX Contract
transactions. If the Fund’s DX Contract positions represent a significant part
of the open long interest in those DX Contracts, moreover, other market
participants may take that fact into account and trade in a manner that
adversely affects the prices that the Fund obtains when trading DX Contracts.
The Fund may not be able to counteract adverse pricing effects of its own
positions and transactions in DX Contracts.
Withdrawal
from Participation by Authorized Participants May Affect the Liquidity of
Shares.
If
one or more Authorized Participants withdraws from participation, it may become
more difficult to create or redeem Creation Units, which may reduce the
liquidity of the Shares. Such circumstances may be more pronounced in market
conditions of increased volatility. If it becomes more difficult to create or
redeem Creation Units, the correlation between the price of the Shares and the
NAV may be affected, which may affect the trading market for the Shares. Having
fewer participants in the market for the Shares could also adversely affect the
ability to arbitrage any price difference between futures contracts and the
Shares, which may also affect the trading market and liquidity of the
Shares.
Possible
Illiquid Markets May Exacerbate Losses.
Futures
positions cannot always be liquidated at the desired price. It is difficult to
execute a trade at a specific price when there is a relatively small volume of
buy and sell orders in a market. A market disruption, such as when foreign
governments may take or be subject to political actions which disrupt the
markets in their currencies or major commodities exports, can also make it
difficult to liquidate a position.
Illiquidity
may cause losses for the Fund. The large size of the positions which the Fund
may acquire increases the risk of illiquidity by both making its positions more
difficult to liquidate and increasing the losses incurred while trying to do
so.
International
Armed Conflicts or Political Turmoil May Result in Market Volatility that Could
Adversely Affect the Fund's Performance.
As
a result of increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets,
political turmoil in the US or in other countries, or armed conflict between
countries or in a geographic region, for example the conflict between Russia and
Ukraine in Europe, the ongoing conflict between Hamas and Israel, and the
escalation of related conflicts in the Middle East, may impact the Fund's
investments. Such turmoil or conflicts, and other corresponding events, have
had, and could continue to have, severe effects on regional and global economic
and financial markets, including increased volatility, reduced liquidity, and
overall uncertainty.
Hamas'
attack against Israel in October 2023 and the ensuing conflict, have had, and
may continue to have, an impact on certain markets, including futures markets.
While this impact has been particularly pronounced in energy markets (such as
natural gas and oil), the conflict has also disrupted certain global shipping
and trade routes, which may have wide ranging impacts across markets. The
possibility of a prolonged conflict between Hamas and Israel, and the potential
escalation and/or expansion of the conflict in the surrounding areas and the
involvement of other nations in such conflict, including, for example, the
escalation of armed conflict between Israel and Iran, could further destabilize
the Middle East region and introduce new uncertainties in global
markets.
Following
Russia's invasion of Ukraine in late February 2022, various countries, including
the United States, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Germany,
France, and Japan, as well as NATO and the European Union, issued broad-ranging
economic sanctions against Russia and Belarus. Russia may take additional
countermeasures or retaliatory actions (including cyberattacks), which could
exacerbate negative consequences on global financial markets. The duration of
ongoing hostilities and corresponding sanctions and related events cannot be
predicted. Impacts from the conflict and related events may result in increased
volatility in the value of Index Currencies and may have an adverse effect on
the performance of the Fund and value of the Shares.
The
Effect of Market Disruptions and Government Interventions Are Unpredictable and
May Have an Adverse Effect on the Value of Your Shares.
Futures
markets may be subject to temporary distortions due to various factors,
including lack of liquidity, congestion, disorderly closing periods,
manipulation and disruptive conduct, limitations on deliverable supplies,
excessive speculation, government regulation and intervention, technical and
operational or system failures, nuclear accidents, terrorism, riots and acts of
God.
Certain
changes in the U.S. economy in particular, such as when the U.S. economy weakens
or when its financial markets decline, may have a material adverse effect on
global financial markets as a whole. Increasingly strained relations between the
U.S. and foreign
countries,
including as a result of economic sanctions and tariffs, may also adversely
affect currency futures markets. A decrease in U.S. imports or exports, changes
in trade regulations, including the threat or actual imposition of tariffs,
trade wars or other economic sanctions on traditional allies or adversaries and
their responses thereto, inflation, and/or an economic recession in the U.S. may
have a material adverse effect on the U.S. economy, global financial markets as
a whole and the currency futures markets to which the Fund has exposure.
Proposed and adopted policy and legislative actions in the U.S. may impact many
aspects of financial and other regulations and may have a significant effect,
including potentially adversely, on U.S. markets generally. The continued
maintenance of elevated debt levels by the U.S. government as projected by
governmental agencies and non-governmental organizations, or the imposition of
U.S. austerity measures, could potentially constrain future economic growth and
the ability to effectively respond to economic downturns. If these trends were
to continue, they could adversely impact the U.S. economy, global financial
markets as a whole and the currency futures markets in particular.
Government
intervention has in certain cases been implemented on an “emergency” basis,
suddenly and substantially eliminating market participants’ ability to continue
to implement certain strategies or manage the risk of their outstanding
positions. These interventions have typically been unclear in scope and
application, resulting in confusion and uncertainty which in itself has been
materially detrimental to the efficient functioning of the markets as well as
previously successful investment strategies.
The
financial crisis of 2008-2009 and associated regulatory changes, including the
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank
Act”), are generally considered to have contributed to less credit being
available to financial market participants. This is particularly the case for
credit extended by banks and other traditional lending sources. The Fund does
not borrow from lenders for the purpose of pursuing its investment objective.
Nonetheless, restrictions on the availability of credit may adversely affect
investors who borrow to purchase Shares and participants in the markets for
financial instruments in which the Fund trades, including futures markets.
Limitations on the availability of credit, whether in stressed market conditions
or otherwise, may have a material adverse effect on investors and financial
market participants, which in turn could affect the Fund’s ability to pursue its
investment objective. Among other things, fewer prospective investors may
adversely affect the Fund’s asset levels, and fewer financial market
participants may reduce liquidity and adversely affect pricing for the financial
instruments that the Fund seeks to trade.
The
Fund may incur major losses in the event of disrupted markets and other
extraordinary events in which historical pricing relationships become materially
distorted. The risk of loss from pricing distortions is compounded by the fact
that in disrupted markets many positions become illiquid, making it difficult or
impossible to close out or liquidate positions against which the markets are
moving. The large size of the positions which the Fund may acquire increases the
risk of illiquidity by both making its positions more difficult to liquidate and
increasing the losses incurred while trying to do so.
The
financing available to market participants is typically reduced in disrupted
markets. Such a reduction may result in substantial losses to the affected
market participants, including the Fund and its Shareholders.
An
Investment in the Shares May Be Adversely Affected by Competition from Other
Methods of Investing in Currencies.
The
Fund competes with other financial vehicles, including mutual funds, ETFs and
other investment companies, other index tracking commodity pools, actively
traded commodity pools, hedge funds, other securities backed by or linked to
currencies, and direct investments in the underlying currencies or the DX
Contracts. Market and financial conditions, and other conditions beyond the
Managing Owner’s control, may make it more attractive to invest in other
financial vehicles or to invest in such currencies directly, which could limit
the market for the Shares and therefore reduce the liquidity of the
Shares.
The
NAV Calculation of the Fund May Be Overstated or Understated Due to the
Valuation Method Employed When a Settlement Price is Not Available on the Date
of NAV Calculation.
Calculating
the NAV of the Fund includes, in part, any unrealized profits or losses on open
DX Contracts. Under normal circumstances, the NAV of the Fund reflects the
settlement price of open DX Contracts on the date when the NAV is being
calculated. However, if a settlement price for a DX Contract could not be
determined for any reason, the Managing Owner may value the DX Contract pursuant
to policies the Managing Owner has adopted. In such a situation, there is a risk
that the resulting calculation of the Fund’s NAV could be understated or
overstated, perhaps to a significant degree.
Exchange
Rates on the Index Currencies Could Be Volatile and Could Materially and
Adversely Affect the Performance of the Shares.
Foreign
exchange rates are influenced by a variety of factors, including the
following:
•
National
debt levels and trade deficits;
•
Domestic
and foreign inflation rates; and
•
Investors’
expectations concerning inflation rates:
•
Domestic
and foreign interest rates;
•
Currency
exchange rates;
•
Investment
and trading activities from mutual funds, hedge funds and currency funds; and
•
Global
or regional political, economic or financial events and situations.
Foreign
exchange rates on the Index Currencies may also be influenced by changing supply
and demand for a particular Index Currency, monetary policies of governments
(including exchange control programs, restrictions on local exchanges or markets
and limitations on foreign investment in a country or on investment by residents
of a country in other countries), changes in balances of payments and trade,
trade restrictions, currency devaluations and revaluations. Governments may
intervene in the currency markets in order to influence currency values
directly. Expectations among market participants that a currency’s value soon
will change may also affect exchange rates on the Index Currencies, and in turn,
both the Index and the DX Contracts. These events and actions are unpredictable.
The resulting volatility in the exchange rates on the underlying Index
Currencies may materially and adversely affect the market value of the DX
Contracts, which would then negatively impact the value of your
Shares.
Substantial
Sales of Index Currencies by the Official Sector Could Adversely Affect an
Investment in the Shares.
The
official sector consists of central banks, other governmental agencies and
multi-lateral institutions that buy, sell and hold certain Index Currencies as
part of their reserve assets. The official sector holds a significant amount of
Index Currencies that can be mobilized in the open market. In the event that
future economic, political or social conditions require members of the official
sector to sell significant amounts of their Index Currency holdings, such an
increase in supply may outstrip demand for Index Currencies and depress their
prices. Such a decline in prices may materially and adversely affect the market
value of DX Contracts, which would negatively impact the Shares.
Uncertainty
Surrounding the United Kingdom’s Withdrawal from the European Union Could
Adversely Affect an Investment in the Shares.
On
January 31, 2020, the United Kingdom (“UK”) formally withdrew from the European
Union (“EU”) (known as “Brexit”) and, after a transition period, left the EU
single market and customs union under the terms of a new trade agreement on
December 31, 2020. The agreement governs the new relationship between the UK and
EU with respect to trading goods and services, but critical aspects of the
relationship remain unresolved and subject to further negotiation and agreement.
At this time, it is difficult to predict what the longer-term economic, tax,
fiscal, legal, regulatory, and other implications of the UK’s withdrawal from
the EU will be for the UK, the EU and the global financial markets generally and
for the value of the Index Currencies included in the USDX®
and, in turn, the Shares. These uncertainties could increase volatility in the
market prices of the Index Currencies included in the USDX®
and, in turn, the Shares.
Futures
Risks
Margin
Requirements and Risk Limits for Futures Contracts may Limit the Fund’s Ability
to Achieve Sufficient Exposure and Prevent the Fund from Achieving its
Investment Objective.
“Initial”
or “original” margin is the minimum amount of funds that must be deposited by a
futures trader with his commodity broker in order to initiate futures trading or
to maintain an open position in futures contracts. “Maintenance” margin is the
amount (generally less than initial margin) to which a trader’s account may
decline before he must deliver additional margin. A margin deposit is like a
cash performance bond. It helps assure the futures trader’s performance of the
futures contract that the trader purchases or sells. Futures contracts are
customarily bought and sold on margin that represents a very small percentage
(ranging upward from less than 2%) of the purchase price of the underlying
commodity being traded. Because of such low margins, price fluctuations
occurring in the futures markets may create profits and losses that are greater,
in relation to the amount invested, than are customary in other forms of
investments. The minimum amount of margin required in connection with a
particular futures contract is set from time to time by the exchange on which
such contract is traded, and may be modified from time to time by the exchange
during the term of the contract. With respect to the Managing Owner’s trading,
only the Managing Owner, and not the Fund or its Shareholders personally, will
be subject to margin calls.
Brokerage
firms carrying accounts for traders in futures contracts may not accept lower,
and generally require higher, amounts of margin as a matter of policy in order
to afford further protection for themselves.
An
FCM may compute margin requirements multiple times per day and must do so at
least once per day. When the Fund has an open futures contract position, it is
subject to daily variation margin calls by an FCM that could be substantial in
the event of adverse price movements. Because futures contracts require only a
small initial investment in the form of a deposit or initial margin, they
involve a high degree of leverage. A Fund with open positions is subject to
maintenance or variation margin on its open positions. When the market value of
a particular open futures contract position changes to a point where the margin
on deposit does
not
satisfy maintenance margin requirements, a margin call is made by the FCM. If
the margin call is not met within a reasonable time, the FCM may close out the
Fund’s position, which may result in reduced returns to the Fund’s investors or
impair the Fund from achieving its investment objective. If the Fund has
insufficient cash to meet daily variation margin requirements, it may need to
sell assets at a time when doing so is disadvantageous. Futures markets are
highly volatile in general, and may become more volatile during periods of
market or economic volatility, and the use of or exposure to futures contracts
may increase volatility of the Fund’s NAV.
In
addition, an FCM may impose margin requirements in addition to those imposed by
the clearinghouse. Margin requirements are subject to change on any given day,
and may be raised in the future on a single day or on multiple or successive
days by either or both of the clearinghouse and the FCM. High margin
requirements could prevent the Fund from obtaining sufficient exposure to
futures contracts and may adversely affect the Fund’s ability to achieve its
investment objective. An FCM’s failure to return required margin to the Fund on
a timely basis may cause the Fund to delay redemption settlement dates or
restrict, postpone, or limit the right of redemption.
Futures
contracts are subject to liquidity risk. An FCM may impose risk limits on the
Fund, which restrict the amount of exposure to futures contracts that the Fund
can obtain through the FCM. A futures exchange may also impose risk limits on
the Fund. If the risk limits imposed by an FCM or a futures exchange do not
provide sufficient exposure, the Fund may not be able to achieve its investment
objective.
Because
the DX Contracts Have No Intrinsic Value, the Positive Performance of Your
Investment Is Wholly Dependent Upon an Equal and Offsetting Loss.
Trading
in futures contracts transfers the risk of future price movements from one
market participant to another. For every gain in futures trading, there is an
equal and offsetting loss. Accordingly, whether a futures trade is profitable
for one party depends on whether the price paid, value received, or cost of
delivery under the related futures contract is favorable to that party. The
prices of stocks, bonds, and other assets could rise significantly, and the
economy as a whole could prosper, while the Fund experiences losses as a result
of pursuing its investment objective through trading the DX
Contracts.
The
Fund May Not Provide a Diversification Benefit to Investments in Other Asset
Classes and May Result in Additional Losses to Your Portfolio.
Historically,
currency futures returns have tended not to be correlated with the returns of
other assets such as stocks and bonds. Currency futures contracts therefore have
the potential to help diversify investor portfolios consisting of stocks and
bonds, to the extent there is low or negative correlation between currency
futures contracts and other assets held in those portfolios. However, the fact
that the Index is not inversely correlated with other assets such as stocks and
bonds means that, in seeking to replicate the performance of the Index, the Fund
will not necessarily be profitable during unfavorable periods for the stock or
bond markets. If the Shares perform in a manner that correlates with the stock
or bond markets or otherwise do not perform successfully, the Shares may not
provide any diversification from losses in those markets. In such a scenario,
the Shares may produce no gains to offset losses from investments in stocks,
bonds, or related assets and may result in additional investment
losses.
Over-the-Counter-Trading
Risks
Trading
Forwards and Swaps May Subject the Fund to Risks that Differ from Risks
Associated with Trading Futures Contracts.
If
the Managing Owner determines in its commercially reasonable judgment that it
has become impracticable or inefficient for any reason for the Fund to gain full
or partial exposure to the DX Contracts, the Fund may enter into forwards or
swaps referencing the Index Currencies.
A
forward contract is an agreement to exchange one currency for another on a
future date at a fixed rate agreed upon at the inception of the forward
contract. Performance of a forward contract’s terms is not guaranteed by an
exchange or clearinghouse; rather, banks and dealers act as principals in these
markets. If it enters into forward, therefore, the Fund will be subject to risks
of dealing with a counterparty, which differ from the risks involved with
trading futures contracts on an exchange (or with trading swaps that are subject
to centralized clearing and/or executed on a trading facility). For instance,
there would be a risk that the counterparty would become unable or unwilling to
honor its obligations on the forward agreement. Even if it is able to honor its
obligations, a counterparty could determine not to perform on the contract
because of a dispute over its terms (whether or not bona fide) or for other
reasons. These counterparty risks will expose the Fund to potential for losses
associated with default, other nonperformance, or delays in liquidating or
transferring the forward contract.
Foreign
exchange forward contracts that provide for and result in the actual delivery of
the subject currencies are not subject to regulation by the CFTC to the same
extent as futures and swaps. As a result, the Fund will not benefit from
regulatory protections like those that apply to the trading of futures contracts
(or to swaps) under CFTC regulations.
In
addition, there is currently no limitation on the daily price movements of
forward contracts. To the extent that assets are deposited with the counterparty
as margin, such assets are not currently required under CFTC regulations or any
other regulations to be held in a segregated account for the benefit of the
Fund. Consequently, assets deposited by the Fund with a counterparty as margin
may be indistinguishable, for insolvency purposes, from assets of such
counterparty and therefore may be subject to creditors’ claims in the event of
such counterparty’s insolvency, and not available for timely recall by the
Fund.
Swap
agreements can take the form of either privately negotiated, over-the-counter
transactions or standardized, centrally cleared transactions. In each case,
swaps involve an agreement in which two parties agree to exchange actual or
contingent payment streams that may be calculated in relation to the Index
Currencies and a particular “notional amount.” A significant factor in the
performance of swaps is the change in the value of the underlying currencies,
specific interest rates, or other factors that determine the amounts of payments
due to and from the counterparties. If a swap calls for payments by the Fund,
the Fund must have sufficient cash available to make such payments as they
become due.
Uncleared,
over-the-counter swaps present counterparty risks similar to those present with
forward contracts. In addition, over-the-counter swaps may be subject to
significant “bid-ask” spreads, which can adversely affect the Fund’s ability to
enter into swaps in pursuing its investment objective. While market makers and
dealers may quote indicative prices or terms for entering into or terminating
these contracts, they are not obligated to do so – particularly if they are not
a party to the contract in question. As a result, it may be difficult to obtain
reliable pricing for, or otherwise value, an uncleared, over-the-counter
swap.
Cleared
swaps present similar risks to those of futures contracts, particularly with
respect to market, clearance, and settlement risks. However, the customer
protections afforded to customers engaged in trading cleared swaps differ from
those afforded to customers that trade futures contracts. Under the CFTC’s
cleared swaps customer protection regime, referred to as “LSOC” (legally
segregated, operationally commingled), in the event of the failure of a clearing
member, a clearinghouse may not use the entire pool of the failed clearing
member’s cleared swaps customer collateral to cure a customer default without
regard to ownership of the collateral like it may with futures customer
collateral.
Under
the Dodd-Frank Act, the CFTC has implemented several regulations that are
intended to enhance transparency in the swaps markets and to provide protections
to swap counterparties (e.g., swap recordkeeping and reporting requirements,
mandatory clearing and on-facility trade execution for major swap classes, swap
dealer registration and business conduct standards, and margin requirements for
uncleared transactions). Although the Fund may benefit from these protections to
the extent it enters into swaps, the Fund will nonetheless be exposed to the
risk of loss on those transactions. The costs of compliance with regulations
governing the swaps markets may also detract from the Fund’s performance, to the
extent those costs are passed on by swap counterparties or are otherwise borne
by the Fund. It is also possible that the CFTC’s swap regulations may not
function as intended and, as a consequence, may fail to protect the Fund from
counterparty or other risks associated with its swap trading.
Foreign
exchange swap contracts that provide for and result in the actual delivery of
the subject currencies, and that provide for and result in the reverse exchange
of the same currencies at a later date, are not subject to regulation by the
CFTC to the same extent as futures and other swaps. As a result, the Fund will
not benefit from regulatory protections like those that apply to the trading of
futures contracts (or to other swaps) under CFTC regulations.
Index
Risks
The
Fund’s Performance May Not Always Replicate the Changes in the Levels of its
Index.
Tracking
the Index requires trading of the Fund’s portfolio with a view to tracking the
Index over time and is dependent upon the skills of the Managing Owner and its
trading principals, among other factors. It is possible that the Fund’s
performance may not fully replicate the changes in levels of the Index due to
disruptions in the markets for the relevant Index Currencies, the DX Contracts,
or due to other extraordinary circumstances.
The
Managing Owner may determine to invest in other futures contracts if at any time
it is impractical, including in scenarios wherein the futures market for a DX
Contract is thinly traded, or inefficient to gain full or partial exposure to
the Index Currencies through the DX Contracts.
In
addition, the Fund may not be able to replicate the changes in levels of the
Index because the total return generated by the Fund is reduced by expenses and
transaction costs, including those incurred in connection with the Fund’s
trading activities, and increased by, as applicable, Treasury Income, Money
Market Income and T-Bill ETF Income.
There
can be no guarantee that the Index or the underlying methodology is free from
error. It is also possible that third parties may seek to manipulate the value
of the Index or the Index Currencies which, if successful, would be likely to
have an adverse effect on the Fund’s performance.
The
Fund Is Not Actively Managed and Tracks the Index During Periods in Which the
Index Is Flat or Declining as well as When the Index Is Rising.
The
Fund is not actively managed on the basis of judgments relating to economic,
financial and market conditions with a view to obtaining positive results under
all market conditions. Instead, the Managing Owner seeks to cause the NAV to
track the performance of the Index during periods in which the Index is flat or
declining as well as when the Index is rising. Therefore, under normal market
conditions, if positions in any one or more of the Index Currencies are
declining in value, the Fund will not close out such positions, except in
connection with a change in the composition or weighting of the
Index.
Fewer
Representative Index Currencies May Result in Greater Index
Volatility.
The
Index Currencies are the Euro, Japanese Yen, British Pound, Canadian Dollar,
Swedish Krona and Swiss Franc. Other currency indexes may contain a larger
number of currencies than the Index. Accordingly, increased volatility in a
single Index Currency is expected to have a greater impact on the Index’s
overall volatility than would likely be the case with increased volatility in a
single currency within a more diversified index. Because the Fund tracks the
performance of the Index, your investment in the Fund will be exposed to the
relatively greater impact on the Index of volatility in a single Index
Currency.
Investors
Who Invest Only in the Fund May Not Be Able to Profit if the Market Value of the
DX Contracts Moves Against Such Investment.
The
NAV of the Fund is expected to rise as a result of any upward price movement in
the Fund’s long positions in the DX Contracts.
If
the price of the Fund’s long positions in DX Contracts increases, the NAV of the
Fund will increase. If the price of the Fund’s long positions in DX Contracts
decreases, the NAV of the Fund will decrease. Therefore, the investment
experience of investors who plan to invest in the Fund will depend upon the
price movements of the Fund’s long positions in its DX Contracts. The Fund may
become unprofitable in the future if the price of the DX Contracts moves in an
adverse direction.
Certain
investors who decide to invest in both the Fund and the Invesco DB US Dollar
Index Bearish Fund (‘‘UDN’’) may, nevertheless, suffer losses if the investor’s
investment mix between the Fund and UDN is biased in one direction and the
market price of the DX Contracts moves in an adverse direction. Additionally,
investors should not invest in equal amounts in both the Fund and UDN
simultaneously. The net effect of such an investment will be the sum of the
Treasury Income, the Money Market Income and T-Bill ETF Income, less fees and
expenses.
If
You Sell Your Shares at a Time When the DX Contracts Are Being Traded at a
Discount, You Would Receive an Amount that Would Be Lower than if the DX
Contracts Were Trading at a Premium.
The
price of DX Contracts responds directly to short-term interest rate
differentials. For example, if interest rates in the U.S. are broadly higher
than international interest rates, then the DX Contracts will trade at a
discount to the spot index. If U.S. rates are lower, then the DX Contracts will
trade at a premium to the spot index. This relationship also holds for
long-dated futures versus nearby futures. Because interest rates move up and
down, DX Contracts may trade at a premium some of the time and at a discount at
other times. In turn, if you sell your Shares during a period when the DX
Contracts are trading at a discount, you may receive less than you may have
received if you sold your shares during a period when the DX Contracts are
trading at a premium.
Unusually
Long Peak-to-Valley Drawdown Periods with Respect to the Index May Be Reflected
in Equally Long Peak-to-Valley Drawdown Periods with Respect to the Performance
of the Shares.
“Peak-to-valley
drawdown” represents the cumulative percentage decline in month-end NAV per
Share due to losses sustained during any period in which the initial month-end
NAV per Share is not equaled or exceeded by a subsequent month-end NAV per
Share.
Although
past Index levels are not necessarily indicative of future Index levels, the
peak-to-valley drawdown periods that the Index has experienced occasionally have
been unusually long and have lasted for multi-year drawdown periods.
Because
it is expected that the Fund’s performance will track the change of its
underlying Index, the Fund would experience a continuous drawdown during the
period that the Index experiences such a drawdown. The value of your Shares will
also decrease during such a period.
Regulatory
Risks
Position
Limits and Other Potential Limitations on Futures Trading May Restrict the
Creation of Creation Units and the Operation of the Fund.
Position
Limits.
CFTC and futures exchange rules impose position limits on market participants
that trade in certain futures contracts. These position limits prohibit any
person from holding a position of more than a specific number of futures
contracts.
Generally,
position limits in the physical delivery markets are set at a stricter level
during the spot month, the month when the futures contract matures and becomes
deliverable, versus the limits set for all other months or for any other month
individually. Limits are generally applied on an aggregate basis to positions
held in accounts that are subject to common ownership or common control. There
are exemptions from this general aggregation requirement.
The
Index currently is not composed of any contracts subject to position limits
imposed by either the CFTC or the rules of ICE Futures U.S. To the extent
position limits apply to the Fund, and if the Managing Owner determines that the
Fund’s trading may be approaching any of these position limits, the Fund may
reduce its trading in the corresponding futures contracts or may trade futures
contracts in other commodities that the Managing Owner determines will best
position the Fund to pursue its investment objective. Depending on the outcome
of any future CFTC or futures exchange rulemaking, as applicable, the rules
concerning position limits may be amended in a manner that is detrimental to the
Fund.
Accountability
Levels.
Exchanges may establish accountability levels applicable to futures contracts
instead of position limits, provided that the futures contract is not subject to
federal position limits. An exchange may order a person who holds or controls a
position in excess of a position accountability level not to further increase
its position, to comply with any prospective limit that exceeds the size of the
position owned or controlled, or to reduce any open position that exceeds the
position accountability level if the exchange determines that such action is
necessary to maintain an orderly market. Position accountability levels could
adversely affect the Fund’s ability to establish and maintain positions in
commodity futures contracts to which such levels apply, if the Fund were to
trade in such contracts. Such an outcome could adversely affect the Fund’s
ability to pursue its investment objective.
Daily
Limits.
U.S. 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. These limits are generally referred to as “daily price
fluctuation limits” or “daily limits,” 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.” 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. The duration of limit prices generally varies. 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.
Either of those outcomes could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to pursue its
investment objective or achieve favorable performance.
If
the Fund became subject to position limits, position accountability levels or
daily limits in the future, it may not be able to issue new Creation Units or
reinvest income in additional currency futures contracts to the extent these
restrictions limit its ability to establish new futures positions or otherwise
transact in futures contracts. Limiting the size of the Fund, or restricting the
Fund’s futures trading, under these requirements may affect the correlation
between the price of the Shares, as traded on the NYSE Arca, and the NAV of the
Shares.
Failure
of FCMs or Commodity Brokers to Segregate Assets May Cause Losses for the
Fund.
The
Commodity Exchange Act requires an FCM to segregate all funds received from
customers from such FCM’s proprietary assets. If the Commodity Broker fails to
segregate customer assets as required, the assets of the Fund might not be fully
protected in the event of the Commodity Broker’s distress, impairment or
bankruptcy. Furthermore, in the event of the Commodity Broker’s distress,
impairment or bankruptcy, the Fund could be delayed in recovering Fund assets,
limited to recovering a pro
rata share
of all available funds segregated on behalf of the Commodity Broker’s combined
customer accounts or the Fund may not recover any assets at all, even though
certain property specifically traceable to the Fund was held by the Commodity
Broker.
The
Commodity Exchange Act requires an approved derivatives clearing organization to
segregate all funds and other property received from a clearing member’s
customers in connection with U.S. futures and options contracts from any funds
held at the clearing organization to support the clearing member’s proprietary
trading. Nevertheless, customer funds held at a clearing organization in
connection with any futures or options contracts may be held in a commingled
omnibus account, which may not identify the name of the clearing member’s
individual customers. With respect to futures and options contracts, a clearing
organization may use assets of a non-defaulting customer held in an omnibus
account at the clearing organization to satisfy payment obligations of a
defaulting customer of the clearing member to the clearing organization. In the
event of a default of the clearing FCM’s other clients or the clearing FCM’s
failure to extend its own funds in connection with any such default, a customer
may not be able to recover the full amount of assets deposited by the clearing
FCM with the clearing organization on the customer’s behalf. In addition, the
protections afforded to cleared swaps customer collateral do not guarantee the
full return of such collateral in the event of a FCM’s bankruptcy.
In
the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of any exchange or a clearing
organization, the Fund could experience a loss of the funds deposited through
the Commodity Broker as margin with the exchange or clearing organization, a
loss of any unrealized profits on its open positions on the exchange, and the
loss of unrealized profits on its closed positions on the exchange.
The
Fund’s Performance Could Be Adversely Affected if the Commodity Broker Reduces
its Internal Risk Limits for the Fund.
The
CFTC requires FCMs, like the Commodity Broker, to implement and evaluate from
time to time risk-based limits on futures position and order sizes. Under this
regime, the Commodity Broker could determine to reduce its internal risk limits
on the size of
futures
positions it will trade or clear for the Fund. Such a development would reduce
the Fund’s capacity to transact in futures contracts. In this scenario, the Fund
could seek to enter into clearing relationships with one or more other clearing
brokers with the goal of increasing its overall capacity to trade and clear
futures contracts. The introduction of one or more additional clearing broker
relationships would be likely to increase the Fund’s trading costs and could
make its overall trading less efficient or more prone to error. These
consequences would be likely to detract from the Fund’s performance.
Failure
of a Swap Dealer with Which the Fund Trades Swaps May Adversely Affect the
Fund.
A
swap dealer that is registered with the CFTC is required to segregate from its
own assets, and for the sole benefit of its customers, all assets it holds in
respect of each swap agreement, including an amount equal to the net unrealized
gain on all open cleared swaps. Cleared swaps are marked to market on a daily
basis, with variations in value credited or charged to the customer’s account,
and any funds received in connection with profits on a swap position belonging
to the customer must be treated as the property of the customer and maintained
by a swap dealer in a cleared swaps customer account. A swap dealer is also
required to deposit its own funds into its cleared swaps customer accounts to
the extent necessary to ensure that such accounts do not become under-segregated
and that the excess funds of one customer held in the cleared swaps customer
account may not be used to meet the margin requirements of another
customer.
In
the event of a swap dealer’s insolvency or bankruptcy, the customer funds held
in the swap dealer’s cleared swaps customer accounts, assuming such funds were
properly segregated, should be insulated as an identifiable separate pool of
assets and, as such, should not be available for distribution to the swap
dealer’s general creditors. Under these circumstances, each customer with assets
on deposit in the swap dealer’s cleared swaps customer account would receive its
pro rata share of those assets. As long as the swap dealer is collecting margin
payments from its customers, properly segregating such customer margin payments
or advancing its own funds in accordance with CFTC regulations, each customer
should receive all of its assets from the cleared swaps customer account. To the
extent that any such account may be under-margined, however, the deficiency
would be shared on a pro rata basis by each customer holding assets in such
account. In addition, and with respect to uncleared swaps, the Fund remains
subject to credit risk with respect to the amount it expects to receive from its
swap counterparties. In the event of a swap dealer’s insolvency or bankruptcy,
therefore, the Fund is subject to the risk that it will only recover a portion
of the funds that it had on deposit with the dealer.
Regulatory
Changes or Actions May Alter the Operations and Profitability of the
Fund.
Governmental
and regulatory changes or actions may have unexpected or adverse consequences on
particular markets, transactions, or investments, which may adversely impact the
Fund and impair how it is managed. Policy and legislative changes in the United
States and in other countries affect many aspects of financial regulation, and
may in some instances contribute to decreased liquidity, increased costs and
increased volatility in the financial markets. The impact of any such changes on
the markets, and the practical implications for market participants, likely
would not be fully known for some time.
The
Fund and the Managing Owner Are Subject to Extensive Legal and Regulatory
Requirements.
The
Fund is subject to a comprehensive scheme of regulation under the federal
commodity futures trading and securities laws, as well as futures market rules
and the rules and listing standards for its Shares. The Fund and the Managing
Owner could each be subject to sanctions for a failure to comply with those
requirements, which could adversely affect the Fund’s financial performance and
its ability to pursue its investment objective. In addition, the SEC, CFTC, and
exchanges are empowered to intervene in their respective markets in response to
extreme market conditions. Any such interventions could adversely affect the
Fund’s ability to pursue its investment objective and could lead to losses for
the Fund and its Shareholders.
In
addition, the Fund is subject to significant disclosure, internal control,
governance, and financial reporting requirements because the Shares are publicly
traded.
For
example, the Fund is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal
controls over financial reporting. Under this requirement, the Fund must adopt,
implement, and maintain an internal control system designed to provide
reasonable assurance to its management regarding the preparation and fair
presentation of published financial statements. The Fund is also required to
adopt, implement, and maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are
designed to ensure information required to be disclosed by the Fund in reports
that it files or submits to the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified by the SEC. There is a risk that the
Fund’s internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and
procedures could fail to work properly or otherwise fail to satisfy SEC
requirements. Such a failure could result in the reporting or disclosure of
incorrect information or a failure to report information on a timely basis. Such
a failure could be to the disadvantage of Shareholders and could expose the Fund
to penalties or otherwise adversely affect the Fund’s status under the federal
securities laws and SEC regulations.
All
internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent
limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective may
provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement
preparation and presentation and other disclosure matters.
Tax
Risks
Shareholders
Will Be Subject to Taxation on Their Allocable Share of the Fund’s Taxable
Income, Whether or Not They Receive Cash Distributions.
Shareholders
will be subject to U.S. federal income taxation and, in some cases, state,
local, or foreign income taxation on their allocable share of the Fund’s taxable
income, whether or not they receive cash distributions from the Fund.
Shareholders may not receive cash distributions equal to their share of the
Fund’s taxable income or even the tax liability that results from such
income.
Items
of Income, Gain, Loss and Deduction with Respect to Shares Could Be Reallocated
if the Internal Revenue Service Does Not Accept the Assumptions or Conventions
Used by the Fund in Allocating Such Items.
U.S.
federal income tax rules applicable to partnerships are complex and often
difficult to apply to publicly traded partnerships. The Fund will apply certain
assumptions and conventions in an attempt to comply with applicable rules and to
report items of income, gain, loss and deduction to Shareholders in a manner
that reflects the Shareholders’ beneficial interest in such tax items, but these
assumptions and conventions may not be in compliance with all aspects of the
applicable tax requirements. It is possible that the United States Internal
Revenue Service (the “IRS”) will successfully assert that the conventions and
assumptions used by the Fund do not satisfy the technical requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and/or the Federal Tax
Regulations codified under 26 C.F.R., referred to herein as the Treasury
Regulations, and could require that items of income, gain, loss and deduction be
adjusted or reallocated in a manner that adversely affects one or more
Shareholders.
The
Fund is a partnership, which is generally not subject to U.S. federal income
taxes. Rather, the partnership’s taxable income flows through to the owners, who
are responsible for paying the applicable income taxes on the income allocated
to them. The Fund is subject to partnership audit rules in Subchapter C of
Chapter 63 of the Code (the “Centralized Partnership Audit Regime”). Under the
Centralized Partnership Audit Regime, any IRS audit of the Fund would be
conducted at the Fund level, and if the IRS determines an adjustment, the
default rule is that the Fund would pay an “imputed underpayment” including
interest and penalties, if applicable. The Fund may instead elect to make a
“push-out” election, in which case the Shareholders for the year that is under
audit would be required to take into account the adjustments on their own
personal income tax returns.
No
Deduction for Qualified Publicly Traded Partnership Income.
For
taxable years beginning before January 1, 2026, there is a 20% deduction for
“qualified publicly traded partnership income” within the meaning of Section
199A(e)(4) of the Code. In general, “qualified publicly traded partnership
income” for this purpose is an item of income, gain, deduction or loss that is
effectively connected with a United States trade or business and includable in
determining taxable income for the year, but does not include certain investment
income. It is currently not expected that the Fund’s income will be eligible for
such deduction because as discussed below, although the matter is not free from
doubt, the Fund believes that the activities directly conducted by the Fund will
not result in the Fund being engaged in a trade or business within the United
States. Potential investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the
availability of such deduction for their allocable share of the Fund’s items of
income, gain, deduction and loss.
Regulated
Investment Company Investors Will Be Treated as Owning a Proportionate Share of
the Fund’s Assets and Will Take into Account Its Allocable Share of the Fund’s
Items of Income, Gain, Loss and Deduction.
The
Fund does not believe that it will be classified as a qualified publicly traded
partnership within the meaning of Section 851(h) of the Code. Accordingly, a
regulated investment company within the meaning of Subchapter M of the Code (a
“RIC”) that invests in Shares will be treated as owning a proportionate share of
the Fund’s assets and will take into account its allocable share of the Fund’s
items of income, gain, loss, and deduction when testing the various compliance
requirements specifically applicable to RICs. RIC investors face a risk that
future Treasury Regulations will recharacterize foreign currency gains received
by them as nonqualifying income and be retroactive in application.
Notwithstanding the above, the Fund anticipates that income recognized by a RIC
in respect of their investment in the Fund should be treated as qualifying
income for purposes of Section 851(b)(2) of the Code. A prospective RIC investor
is encouraged to consult a tax advisor regarding the treatment of its investment
in Shares under the current tax rules.
PROSPECTIVE
INVESTORS ARE STRONGLY URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AND COUNSEL WITH
RESPECT TO THE POSSIBLE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE SHARES;
SUCH TAX CONSEQUENCES MAY DIFFER WITH RESPECT TO DIFFERENT
INVESTORS.
General
Risks
An
Insolvency Resulting from Another Series of the Trust or the Trust Itself May
Have a Material Adverse Effect on the Fund.
The
Fund is a series of a Delaware statutory trust. Pursuant to Delaware law, the
organization of the Trust provides that the assets and liabilities of the Fund
are separate from the assets and liabilities of the other series of the Trust,
as well as the larger Trust itself. Though such organization may, under state
law, protect the assets of the Fund in an insolvency action brought by the
creditors of the other series of the Trust, this may be insufficient to protect
the assets of the Fund from such creditors in an insolvency action in federal
court, or in a court in a foreign jurisdiction. Accordingly, an insolvency
resulting from the other series of the Trust or the Trust itself may have a
material adverse effect on the Fund.
Disruptions
in the Ability to Create and Redeem Creation Units May Adversely Affect
Investors.
It
is generally expected that the public trading price per Share will track the NAV
per Share closely over time. The relationship between the public trading price
per Share and the NAV per Share depends, to a considerable degree, on the
ability of Authorized Participants or their clients or customers to purchase and
redeem Creation Units in the ordinary course. If the process for creating or
redeeming Shares is impaired for any reason, Authorized Participants and their
clients or customers may not be able to purchase and redeem Creation Units or,
even if possible, may choose not to do so. The inability to purchase and redeem
Creation Units, or the partial impairment of the ability to purchase and redeem
Creation Units, could result in Shares trading at a premium or discount to the
NAV of the Fund. Such a premium or discount could be significant, depending upon
the nature or duration of the impairment.
In
addition, the Fund may, in its discretion, suspend the creation of Creation
Units. Suspension of creations may adversely affect how the Shares are traded
and could cause Shares to trade at a premium or discount to the NAV of the Fund,
perhaps to a significant degree.
The
Shares Could Decrease in Value if Unanticipated Operational or Trading Problems
Arise.
The
mechanisms and procedures governing the creation, redemption and offering of the
Shares have been developed specifically for the Fund. Consequently, there may be
unanticipated problems with respect to the mechanics of the operations of the
Fund and the trading of the Shares that could have a material adverse effect on
an investment in the Shares. To the extent that unanticipated operational or
trading problems arise, the Managing Owner’s past experience and qualifications
may not be suitable for solving those problems.
Historical
Performance of the Fund and the Index Is Not Indicative of Future
Performance.
Past
performance of the Fund or the Index is not necessarily indicative of future
results. Therefore, past performance of the Fund or the Index should not be
relied upon in deciding whether to buy Shares of the Fund.
Fees
and Expenses May Deplete the Fund’s Assets if the Fund’s Investment Performance
Is Not Favorable.
The
Fund pays fees and expenses regardless of its investment performance. Such fees
and expenses include asset-based fees of 0.75% per annum. Additional charges
include brokerage fees of approximately 0.01% per annum in the aggregate and
selling commissions. Selling commissions are not included in the Fund’s
breakeven calculation. The sum of the Fund’s Treasury Income, Money Market
Income and/or T-Bill ETF Income may not exceed its fees and expenses. If such
income does not exceed its fees and expenses, in order to break even, the Fund’s
futures trading activity will need to have a favorable performance that exceeds
the difference between the sum of the Fund’s Treasury Income, Money Market
Income and/or T-Bill ETF Income and its fees and expenses. If the Fund’s futures
trading performance is not sufficiently favorable, the Fund’s expenses could
deplete its assets over time. In such a scenario, the value of your Shares will
decrease.
There
May Be Circumstances that Could Prevent the Fund from Being Operated in a Manner
Consistent with its Investment Objective.
There
may be circumstances outside the control of the Managing Owner and/or the Fund
that make it, for all practical purposes, impossible to re-position the Fund
and/or to process a purchase or redemption order. Examples of such circumstances
include: natural disasters; public service disruptions or utility problems such
as those caused by fires, floods, extreme weather conditions, and power outages
resulting in telephone, telecopy, and computer failures; market conditions or
activities causing trading halts; systems failures involving computer or other
information systems affecting the aforementioned parties, as well as DTC, or any
other participant in the purchase process, and similar extraordinary events.
While the Managing Owner has established and implemented a disaster recovery
plan, circumstances such as those identified above may prevent the Fund from
being operated in a manner consistent with its investment objective.
Additionally,
natural or environmental disasters, such as earthquakes, fires, floods,
hurricanes, tsunamis and other severe weather-related phenomena generally, and
widespread disease, including pandemics and epidemics, have been and may be
highly
disruptive
to economies and markets, adversely impacting individual companies, sectors,
industries, markets, currencies, interest and inflation rates, credit ratings,
investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of the Fund’s
investments. Given the increasing interdependence among global economies and
markets, conditions in one country, market, or region are increasingly likely to
adversely affect markets, issuers, and/or foreign exchange rates in other
countries, including the U.S. Any such events could have a significant adverse
impact on the value of the Fund’s investments and could result in increased
premiums or discounts to the Fund’s NAV. Additionally, the Fund rebalances its
portfolio in accordance with the Index, and, therefore, any changes to the
Index’s rebalance schedule will result in corresponding changes to the Fund’s
rebalance schedule.
Redemption
Orders for Creation Units May Be Subject to Postponement, Suspension or
Rejection Under Certain Circumstances.
The
Managing Owner may, in its discretion, suspend the right of redemption or
postpone the redemption order settlement date with respect to Creation Units for
(1) any period during which an emergency exists as a result of which the
redemption distribution is not reasonably practicable, or (2) such other period
as the Managing Owner determines to be necessary for the protection of the
Shareholders. In addition, the Fund will reject a redemption order if the order
is not in proper form as described in the Participant Agreement with the
Authorized Participant, or if the fulfillment of the order, in the opinion of
the Fund’s counsel, might be unlawful. Any such postponement, suspension or
rejection could adversely affect a redeeming Authorized Participant. For
example, the resulting delay may adversely affect the value of the Authorized
Participant’s redemption proceeds if the NAV of the Fund declines during the
period of delay. The Fund disclaims any liability for any loss or damage that
may result from any such suspension or postponement.
Shareholders
Do Not Have the Protections Associated with Ownership of Shares in an Investment
Company Registered Under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
The
Fund is not registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended. Consequently, Shareholders do not have the legal and
regulatory protections provided to the investors in investment companies that
are registered as such.
Shareholders
Do Not Have the Rights Enjoyed by Investors in Certain Other
Vehicles.
The
Shares have none of the statutory rights normally associated with the ownership
of shares of a corporation. However, under Delaware law, a beneficial owner of a
business trust (such as a Shareholder) may, under certain circumstances,
institute legal action on behalf of himself and all other similarly situated
beneficial owners to recover damages from a third party where a managing owner
has failed or refused to institute legal action on behalf of himself and all
other similarly situated beneficial owners to recover damages from a managing
owner for violations of fiduciary duties, or on behalf of a business trust to
recover damages from a third party where a managing owner has failed or refused
to institute proceedings to recover such damages. The Shares have limited voting
and distribution rights (for example, Shareholders do not have the right to
elect directors and the Fund is not required to pay regular distributions,
although the Fund may pay distributions in the discretion of the Managing
Owner).
Various
Actual and Potential Conflicts of Interest May Be Detrimental to
Shareholders.
The
Fund is subject to actual and potential conflicts of interest involving the
Managing Owner or any of its affiliates, the Commodity Broker, including its
principals and its affiliates, the Index Sponsor and the Distributor. The
Managing Owner and its principals, all of whom are engaged in other investment
activities, are not required to devote substantially all of their time to the
business of the Fund, which also presents the potential for numerous conflicts
of interest with the Fund. The Managing Owner and its principals and affiliates
are engaged in a broad array of asset management and financial services
activities and may engage in activities during the ordinary course of business
that cause their interests or those of their other clients to conflict with
those of the Fund and its Shareholders.
As
a result of these and other relationships, parties involved with the Fund have a
financial incentive to act in a manner other than in the best interests of the
Fund and the Shareholders. For example, by investing in affiliated money market
mutual funds and/or T-Bill ETFs for margin and/or cash management purposes, the
Managing Owner may select affiliated money market mutual funds and/or T-Bill
ETFs that may pay dividends that are lower than non-affiliated money market
mutual funds and/or T-Bill ETFs. In addition, the Managing Owner would have a
conflict of interest if it sought to redeem the Fund’s interest in an affiliated
money market mutual fund or T-Bill ETF in circumstances when such a redemption
would be unfavorable for the affiliated fund. The Managing Owner has not
established any formal procedure to resolve conflicts of interest. Consequently,
investors are dependent on the good faith of the respective parties subject to
such conflicts to resolve them equitably. Although the Managing Owner attempts
to monitor these conflicts, it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, for
the Managing Owner to ensure that these conflicts do not, in fact, result in
adverse consequences to the Fund and the Shareholders.
The
Fund may be subject to certain conflicts with respect to the Commodity Broker,
including, but not limited to, conflicts that result from receiving greater
amounts of compensation from other clients, or purchasing opposite or competing
positions on behalf of third party accounts traded through the Commodity
Broker.
Because
the Managing Owner and the Distributor are affiliates, the Managing Owner has a
disincentive to replace the Distributor. Furthermore, the Managing Owner did not
conduct an arm’s length negotiation when it retained the Distributor.
You
May Be Adversely Impacted by the Lack of Independent Advisers Representing
Investors.
The
Managing Owner has consulted with counsel, accountants and other advisers
regarding the operation of the Fund. No counsel has been appointed to represent
you in connection with the Fund’s continuous offering of Shares. Accordingly,
you should consult your own legal, tax and financial advisers about whether you
should invest in the Fund.
Possibility
of Termination of the Fund May Adversely Affect Your Portfolio.
It
is ultimately within the discretion of the Managing Owner whether it will
continue to operate and advise the Fund. The Managing Owner may withdraw from
the Fund upon 120 days’ prior written notice to all Shareholders and the
Trustee, which would cause the Fund to terminate unless a substitute managing
owner was obtained. Shareholders owning 50% or more of the Shares have the power
to terminate the Fund. If it is so exercised, investors who may wish to continue
to invest in a vehicle that tracks the Fund’s Index will have to find another
vehicle, and may not be able to find another vehicle that offers the same
features as the Fund. Such detrimental developments could cause you to liquidate
your investments and upset the overall maturity and timing of your investment
portfolio. In addition, Shareholders could receive less from the sale of the
Fund’s assets in the event of its liquidation and termination than amounts that
could be realized from sales of those assets other than in the case of a
liquidation and termination. If the registrations with the CFTC or memberships
in the NFA of the Managing Owner or the Commodity Broker were revoked or
suspended, such entity would no longer be able to provide services to the
Fund.
Competing
Claims Over Ownership of Intellectual Property Rights Related to the Fund Could
Adversely Affect the Fund and an Investment in the Shares.
While
the Managing Owner believes that all intellectual property rights needed to
operate the Fund in the manner described in the Fund’s Prospectus are either
owned by or licensed to the Managing Owner or have been obtained, third parties
may allege or assert ownership of intellectual property rights which may be
related to the design, structure and operations of the Fund. To the extent any
claims of such ownership are brought or any proceedings are instituted to assert
such claims, the issuance of any restraining orders or injunctions, the
negotiation, litigation or settlement of such claims, or the ultimate
disposition of such claims in a court of law may adversely affect the Fund and
an investment in the Shares. For example, such actions could result in expenses
or damages payable by the Fund, suspension of activities or the termination of
the Fund.
The
Value of the Shares Will Be Adversely Affected if the Fund Is Required to
Indemnify the Trustee or the Managing Owner.
Under
the Trust Agreement, the Trustee and the Managing Owner have the right to be
indemnified for any liability or expense they incur, except for any expenses
resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct. That means the Managing
Owner may require the assets of the Fund to be sold in order to cover losses or
liability suffered by it or by the Trustee. Any sale of that kind would reduce
the NAV of the Fund and, consequently, the value of the Shares.
Although
the Shares Are Limited Liability Investments, Certain Circumstances Such as
Bankruptcy of the Fund or Indemnification of the Fund by the Shareholders Will
Increase a Shareholder’s Liability.
The
Shares are limited liability investments; investors may not lose more than the
amount that they invest including any appreciation in their investments.
However, Shareholders could be required, as a matter of bankruptcy law, to
return to the estate of the Fund any distribution they received at a time when
the Fund was in fact insolvent or in violation of the Trust Agreement. In
addition, Shareholders agree in the Trust Agreement that they will indemnify the
Fund for any harm suffered by it as a result of:
•
Shareholders’
actions unrelated to the business of the Fund, or
•
taxes
imposed on the Shares by the states or municipalities in which such investors

The
Fund May Lose Money on Its Holdings of Money Market Mutual Funds.
The
Fund may invest in government money market funds that have chosen to not rely on
the ability to impose fees on Shareholder redemptions, or liquidity fees, or
temporarily to suspend redemption privileges, or gates, if the government money
market fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below a certain threshold. Although such
government money market funds seek to preserve the value of an investment at
$1.00 per share, there is no guarantee that they will be able to do so. As a
result, the Fund may lose money by investing in a government money market fund.
An investment in a government money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or any other government
agency. The share price of a government money market fund can fall below the
$1.00 share price. The Fund cannot rely on or expect a government money market
fund’s adviser or its affiliates to enter into support agreements or take other
actions to maintain the government money market fund’s $1.00 share price. The
credit quality of a government money market fund’s holdings can change rapidly
in certain markets, and the default of a single
holding
could have an adverse impact on the government money market fund’s share price.
Due to fluctuations in interest rates, the market value of securities held by a
government money market fund may vary. A government money market fund’s share
price can also be negatively affected during periods of high redemption
pressures and/or illiquid markets.
Due
to the Increased Use of Technologies, Intentional and Unintentional Cyber
Attacks Pose Operational and Information Security Risks.
With
the increased use of technologies such as the Internet and the dependence on
computer systems to perform necessary business functions, the Fund is
susceptible to operational and information security risks. In general, cyber
incidents can result from deliberate attacks or unintentional events. Cyber
attacks include, but are not limited to gaining unauthorized access to digital
systems for purposes of misappropriating assets or sensitive information,
corrupting data, or causing operational disruption. Cyber attacks may also be
carried out in a manner that does not require gaining unauthorized access, such
as causing denial-of-service attacks on websites.
Cyber
security failures or breaches of the Fund’s third party service providers
(including, but not limited to, the Index Sponsor, the Administrator and the
Transfer Agent) or money market mutual funds and T-Bill ETFs in which the Fund
invests, have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations,
potentially resulting in financial losses, the inability of Shareholders or
Authorized Participants to transact business in Shares and Creation Units
respectively, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines,
penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs,
and/or additional compliance costs. In addition, substantial costs may be
incurred in order to prevent any cyber incidents in the future. The Fund and its
Shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result.
While
the Managing Owner has established business continuity plans and systems
reasonably designed to detect and prevent such cyber attacks from being
effective, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems. For
instance, it is possible that certain existing risks have not been identified or
that new risks will emerge before countervailing measures can be implemented.
Furthermore, the Fund cannot control, or even necessarily influence, the cyber
security plans and systems put in place by the Fund’s third party service
providers. Since the Fund is dependent upon third party service providers
(including the Managing Owner) for substantially all of its operational needs,
the Fund is subject to the risk that a cyber attack on a service provider will
materially impair its normal operations even if the Fund itself is not subject
to such an attack. A cyber security incident that affects any of the Fund’s
service providers could result in loss or unintended disclosure of information
or loss or theft of the Fund’s assets and could adversely impact the ability of
the Fund’s service providers to conduct their business, including their business
on behalf of the Fund. In addition, a service provider that has experienced a
cyber security incident may divert resources normally devoted to servicing the
Fund to addressing the incident, which would be likely to have an adverse effect
on the Fund’s operations. Cyber attacks may also cause disruptions to the
futures exchanges and clearinghouses through which the Fund invests in futures
contracts and to the exchanges on which the Fund buys and sells shares of T-Bill
ETFs, which could result in disruptions to the Fund’s ability to pursue its
investment objective, resulting in financial losses to the Fund and
Shareholders.

ITEM
1C. CYBERSECURITY.
Cyber
threats are considered one of the most significant risks facing financial
institutions. Because the Fund has no directors, principal officers or
employees, the Managing Owner is responsible for managing cybersecurity risks to
the Fund. To
mitigate risk from cyber threats, Invesco Ltd. (“Invesco”), the Managing Owner’s
parent company, has a designated Global Chief Security Officer (GCSO)
who leads the global security department that is responsible for identifying,
assessing, and managing cybersecurity threats
across the Invesco organization. The
GCSO has
over 29 years
of experience in the public and private sectors, specializing in security,
investigations, and incident response.
The global security department oversees the following groups across Invesco:
Information Security, Global Privacy, Business Continuity & Crisis
Management, Resilience, Corporate Security, Business Security Officers and
Strategy and Projects & Governance. This converged security structure
supports a more comprehensive, holistic approach to keeping our and Invesco
clients, employees, and critical assets safe, upholding their privacy rights,
while enabling a secure and resilient business.
Invesco’s
information security program is led by its Chief
Information Security Officer who reports directly to the
GCSO
and has over 25 years of experience, specializing in information security and
risk management. Our
manager’s information security program is designed to oversee all aspects of
information security risk and seeks to ensure the confidentiality, integrity,
and availability of information assets, including the implementation of controls
aligned with industry guidelines and applicable statutes and regulations to
identify threats, detect attacks and protect our information
assets.
The
program includes the following:
•
Proactive
assessments of technical infrastructure and security resilience are performed on
a regular basis which include penetration testing, offensive testing and
maturity assessments.
•
Conducting
diligence on third-party service providers regarding cybersecurity risks prior
to on-boarding, periodic assessment of cybersecurity risks for third-party
service providers
and continuous monitoring for new third-party cybersecurity incidents.
•
An
incident response program that includes periodic testing and is designed to
restore business operations as quickly and as orderly as possible in the event
of a cybersecurity incident at Invesco or third-party incident.
•
Mandatory
annual employee security awareness training, which focuses on cyber threats and
security in general.
•
Regular
cyber phishing tests throughout the year to measure and raise employee awareness
against cyber phishing threats.
Important
to these programs is Invesco’s investment in threat-intelligence, its active
engagement
in industry and government security-related forums, and its utilization of
external experts to challenge its program maturity, assess its controls and
routinely test its capabilities.
Invesco’s
Board of Directors oversees cybersecurity risk across the entire organization
and receives updates at a minimum of twice a year regarding cybersecurity,
including risks and protections. The
Global Operational Risk Management Committee, one of Invesco’s risk management
committees, provides executive-level oversight and monitoring of the end-to-end
programs dedicated to managing information security and cyber related risk. The
members of this committee include Invesco’s Chief Administrative Officer, Chief
Risk & Audit Officer, General Counsel, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Human
Resources Officer, Global Head of Compliance, and Global Operational Risk Owners
which includes the GCSO.
The
committee reports to Invesco’s Enterprise Risk Management Committee which
provides updates to the Invesco Board of Directors to facilitate their
oversight.
Although
risks from cyber threats have not materially
affected the Fund’s business strategy, results of operations or financial
condition as of December 31, 2025,
Invesco continues to closely monitor cyber risk. The Managing Owner oversees
cybersecurity risks for the Fund by applying Invesco's enterprise policies and
control framework to the Fund's operations and service providers and by
escalating any Fund relevant findings through the Managing Owner's management
reporting and certification processes. The Fund did not experience any material
cybersecurity incidents during the year ended December 31, 2025, and
cybersecurity risks did not materially affect the Fund's business strategy,
results of operations, or financial condition in the period. In addition,
security controls, no matter how well designed or implemented, may only mitigate
and not fully eliminate risks. For more information regarding the risks we face
from cybersecurity threats, please see “Due
to the Increased Use of Technologies, Intentional and Unintentional Cyber
Attacks Pose Operational and Information Security Risks”

Overview/Introduction
Invesco
DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund (the “Fund”), a separate series of Invesco DB US
Dollar Index Trust (the “Trust”), was formed as a Delaware statutory trust on
August 3, 2006. The term of the Fund is perpetual (unless terminated earlier in
certain circumstances) as provided for in the Fifth Amended and Restated
Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement of the Fund, as amended (the “Trust
Agreement”). The Fund has an unlimited number of shares authorized for
issuance.
Invesco
Capital Management LLC has served as the managing owner (the “Managing Owner”),
commodity pool operator and commodity trading advisor of the Fund since February
23, 2015. The Managing Owner is registered with the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission (the “CFTC”) as a commodity pool operator and a commodity trading
advisor, and it is a member firm of the National Futures Association
(“NFA”).
The
Fund establishes long positions in certain futures contracts (the “DX
Contracts”) with a view to tracking the changes, whether positive or negative,
in the level of the Deutsche Bank Long USD Currency Portfolio Index–Excess
ReturnTM
(the “Index”) over time. The Index was renamed effective January 17, 2017. Prior
to January 17, 2017, the Index was known as the Deutsche Bank Long US Dollar
Index (USDX®)
Futures Index–Excess ReturnTM.
The Index, as renamed, is identical to the Index prior to its name change on
January 17, 2017. The performance of the Fund also is intended to reflect the
excess, if any, of the sum of the Fund’s interest income from its holdings of
United States Treasury Obligations (“Treasury Income”), dividends from its
holdings in money market mutual funds (affiliated or otherwise) (“Money Market
Income”) and dividends or distributions of capital gains from its holdings of
T-Bill ETFs (“T-Bill ETF Income”) over the expenses of the Fund.
The
Fund may invest directly in United States Treasury Obligations. The Fund may
also gain exposure to United States Treasury Obligations through investments in
ETFs (affiliated or otherwise) that track indexes that measure the performance
of United States Treasury Obligations with a maximum remaining maturity of up to
12 months (“T-Bill ETFs”). The Fund holds as collateral United States Treasury
Obligations, money market mutual funds and T-Bill ETFs (affiliated or
otherwise), if any, for margin and/or cash management purposes. 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 DX Contracts with the aim of seeking to track the
Index.
If
the Managing Owner determines in its commercially reasonable judgment that it
has become impracticable, including in scenarios wherein the futures market for
a DX Contract is thinly traded, or inefficient for any reason for the Fund to
gain full or partial exposure to a DX Contract, the Fund may invest
in:
•
a
different month DX Contract other than the specific DX Contract that was
originally required by the Index,
•
another
futures contract substantially similar to the DX Contracts, if
available,
•
the
futures contracts referencing the Index Currencies, or
•
a
forward agreement, swap, or other OTC derivative referencing the Index
Currencies,
if,
in the commercially reasonable judgment of the Managing Owner, such an
instrument tends to exhibit trading prices that correlate with the DX
Contract.
The
Index is calculated to reflect the changes in market value over time, whether
positive or negative, of long positions in DX Contracts. DX Contracts are traded
through the currency markets of ICE Futures U.S. (formerly known as the New York
Board of Trade®),
under the symbol “DX.” The Index reflects the changes in market value over time,
whether positive or negative, of the DX Contracts which expire during the months
of March, June, September and December. The Fund seeks to track the Index by
establishing long positions in DX Contracts. DX Contracts are linked to the six
underlying currencies (the “Index Currencies”) of the ICE U.S. Dollar Index
(USDX®)
(the “USDX®”).
The Index Currencies are the Euro, Japanese Yen, British Pound, Canadian Dollar,
Swedish Krona and Swiss Franc. The notional amounts of the Index Currencies
included in the USDX®
reflect a geometric weighted average of the change in the Index Currencies’
exchange rates against the U.S. dollar relative to March 1973. March 1973 was
chosen
as
a base period of the USDX®
because it represents a significant milestone in foreign exchange history when
the world’s major trading nations allowed their currencies to float freely
against each other.
The
USDX®
mark is a registered service mark owned by ICE Futures U.S., Inc.
The
Shares are intended to provide investment results that generally correspond to
the changes, positive or negative, in the levels of the Index over time. The
value of the Shares is expected to fluctuate in relation to changes in the value
of the Fund’s portfolio. The market price of the Shares may not be identical to
the NAV per Share, but these two valuations are expected to be very
close.
Margin
Calls
“Initial”
or “original” margin is the minimum amount of funds that must be deposited by a
futures trader with his commodity broker in order to initiate futures trading or
to maintain an open position in futures contracts. “Maintenance” margin is the
amount (generally less than initial margin) to which a trader’s account may
decline before he must deliver additional margin. A margin deposit is like a
cash performance bond. It helps assure the futures trader’s performance of the
futures contract that the trader purchases or sells. Futures contracts are
customarily bought and sold on margin that represents a very small percentage
(ranging upward from less than 2%) of the purchase price of the underlying
commodity being traded. Because of such low margins, price fluctuations
occurring in the futures markets may create profits and losses that are greater,
in relation to the amount invested, than are customary in other forms of
investments. The minimum amount of margin required in connection with a
particular futures contract is set from time to time by the exchange on which
such contract is traded, and may be modified from time to time by the exchange
during the term of the contract. “Variation margin” is assessed daily to reflect
changes in the value of the position.
Brokerage
firms carrying accounts for traders in futures contracts may not accept lower,
and generally require higher, amounts of margin as a matter of policy in order
to afford further protection for themselves.
Margin
requirements are computed each day by a commodity broker. When the market value
of a particular open futures contract position changes to a point where the
margin on deposit does not satisfy maintenance margin requirements, a margin
call is made by the commodity broker. If the margin call is not met within a
reasonable time, the broker may close out the Fund’s position. With respect to
the Managing Owner’s trading, only the Managing Owner, and not the Fund or its
Shareholders personally, will be subject to margin calls.
Net
Asset Value
NAV
means the total assets of the Fund, including, but not limited to, all currency
futures contracts, cash and investments less total liabilities of the Fund, each
determined on the basis of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S.
GAAP”), consistently applied under the accrual method of accounting. All open
currency futures contracts will be calculated at their then current market
value, which will be based upon the settlement price for that particular
currency futures contract traded on the applicable primary exchange on the date
with respect to which NAV is being determined. Securities for which market
quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair
value as determined in good faith following procedures approved by the Managing
Owner. The amount of any distribution is a liability of the Fund from the day
when the distribution is declared until it is paid.
NAV
per Share is the NAV of the Fund divided by the number of outstanding
Shares.
Market
Risk
Trading
in futures contracts involves the Fund entering into contractual commitments to
sell a particular currency at a specified date and price. The market risk
associated with the Fund’s commitments to purchase currencies is limited to the
gross or face amount of the contracts held.
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. 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’
capital.
Credit
Risk
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. The counterparty
for futures contracts traded on United States and on most foreign futures
exchanges is the clearing house associated with the particular exchange. 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 member. 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. There can be no assurance that any counterparty,
clearing member or clearinghouse will meet its obligations to the
Fund.
The
Commodity Broker, when acting as the Fund’s 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. The Commodity Broker is not
allowed to commingle such assets with other assets of the Commodity Broker. In
addition, CFTC regulations also require the Commodity Broker to hold in a secure
account assets of the Fund related to foreign futures trading. 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.
Liquidity
The
Fund’s entire source of capital is derived from the Fund’s offering of Shares to
Authorized Participants. The Fund in turn allocates its net assets to currency
futures trading. A significant portion of the NAV may be held in United States
Treasury Obligations or cash, which may be used as margin for the Fund’s trading
in currency 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. The amount of cash and/or United States Treasury
Obligations on deposit with the Commodity Broker may exceed the amount of margin
required to be on deposit, depending on market conditions and comparative yields
available from United States Treasury Obligations, money market funds, T-Bill
ETFs and cash held on deposit with Commodity Broker. 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 currency interests change. All
remaining cash, money market mutual funds, T-Bill ETFs, if any, and United
States Treasury Obligations are on deposit with the Custodian. 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. Any dividends or distributions
of capital gains received from the Fund’s holdings of T-Bill ETFs, if any, are
paid to the Fund.
The
Fund’s currency futures contracts may be subject to periods of illiquidity
because of market conditions, regulatory considerations or for other reasons.
For example, U.S. 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. These limits are generally referred to as “daily
price fluctuation limits” or “daily limits,” 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.” 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. The duration of limit prices generally varies. 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. Either of those outcomes could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to
pursue its investment objective or achieve favorable performance.
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).
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”).
Redemption orders must be placed by 1:00 p.m., Eastern Time. The day on which
the Managing Owner receives a valid redemption order is the redemption order
date. The day on which a redemption order is settled is the redemption order
settlement date. As provided below, the redemption order settlement date may
occur up to one business day after the redemption order date. Redemption orders
are irrevocable. The redemption procedures allow Authorized Participants to
redeem Creation Units. Individual Shareholders may not redeem directly from the
Fund. Instead, individual Shareholders may only redeem Shares in integral
multiples of 50,000 and only through an Authorized Participant.
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. Upon submission of a redemption order, the Authorized
Participant may request the Managing Owner to agree to a redemption order
settlement date up to one business day after the redemption order date. 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.
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” or the
“Depository”) (the “DTC Process”), or a successor depository, and only in
exchange for cash. 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.
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
Fund’s liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way.
Capital
Resources
The
Fund does not have any material cash requirements as of the end of the latest
fiscal period. The Fund is unaware of any known material trends, favorable or
unfavorable, in the Fund’s capital resources.
In
the normal course of its business, the Fund is a party to financial instruments
with off-balance sheet risk. The term “off-balance sheet risk” 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. The financial
instruments used by the Fund are currency 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. The
financial instruments are traded on an exchange and are standardized
contracts.
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. 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. The Managing Owner expects the risk of loss relating
to indemnification to be remote.
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. Management Fee payments made to the
Managing Owner, pursuant to the Trust Agreement, are calculated as a fixed
percentage of the Fund’s NAV. Commission payments to the Commodity Broker,
pursuant to the Commodity Broker Agreement, are on a contract-by-contract, or
round-turn, basis. 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. The Fund’s
agreement with the Commodity Broker may be terminated by either party for
various reasons. All Management Fees and commission payments are paid to the
Managing Owner and the Commodity Broker, respectively.
Cash
Flows
A
primary cash flow activity of the Fund is to raise capital from Authorized
Participants through the issuance of Shares. 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 DX
Contracts to match the fluctuations of the Index.

States Treasury Obligations, money market mutual funds, T-Bill ETFs (affiliated
or otherwise) if any, or maintains excess deposits with brokers for margin
and/or cash management purposes only. 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 DX
Contracts with the aim of seeking to track the Index.
During
the year ended December 31, 2025, there were no purchases of United States
Treasury Obligations and $150.0 million was received from sales and maturing
United States Treasury Obligations. During the year ended December 31, 2024,

THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
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 “Deutsche Bank Long USD Currency Portfolio Index-Excess
ReturnTM”).
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 at that time primarily because the Share price
reflects Treasury Income, Money Market Income and T-Bill ETF Income, if any,
from the Fund's collateral holdings whereas the Index does not consider such
income. There can be no assurance that the price of the Shares or the Fund’s NAV
will exceed the Index levels.
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. 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.

Performance
Summary
This
Report covers the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. For performance
discussion related to the year ended December 31, 2023, see the annual report
for the year ended December 31, 2023, available at
http://www.invesco.com/ETFs.
The
Index is intended to reflect the change in market value of the U.S. dollar
relative to the Index Currencies. Past Index results are not necessarily
indicative of future changes, positive or negative, in the Index closing
levels.
The
section “Summary of the Long Index–TRTM
and Underlying DX Contract Returns for the Years Ended December 31, 2025 and
2024” below provides an overview of the changes in the closing levels of the
Long Index–TRTM
by disclosing the change in closing levels of the underlying DX Contracts of the
Index through a “surrogate” (and analogous) index that also reflects the return
of 3-month United States Treasury Bills. Please note also that the Fund’s
objective is to track the Index (not the Long Index–TR™)
and the Fund does not attempt to outperform or underperform the
Index.

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 Long
Index–TRTM.
The only difference between (i) the Index (the “Excess Return Index”) and (ii)
the Long Index-TRTM
(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. 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.
The Total Return Index does not actually hold any fixed income securities. 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. The market price of the Shares is expected to
closely track the Excess Return Index. 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. 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. 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. 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.
FOR
THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
Fund
Share Price Performance
For
the year ended December 31, 2025, the NYSE Arca market value of each Share
decreased from $29.42 per Share to $27.04 per Share. The Share price low and
high for the year ended December 31, 2025 and related change from the Share
price on December 31, 2024 was as follows: Shares traded at a low of $26.86 per
Share (-8.70%) on July 01, 2025, and a high of $29.85 per Share (+1.46%) on
January 13, 2025. On December 26, 2025, the Fund paid a distribution of $0.92686
for each General Share and Share to holders of record as of December 22, 2025.
Therefore, the total return for the Fund on a market value basis was
-4.94%.
The
Fund delivered a negative return in 2025, pressured by the sharp weakening of
the U.S. dollar. The U.S. dollar’s downtrend persisted throughout the year,
driven by expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts, waning confidence in the
U.S. economy amid tariff‑related pressures and stagflation concerns, softening
macroeconomic data, and rising skepticism around the Federal Reserve’s policy
credibility—all of which added momentum to the broader U.S. dollar debasement
trade. Although the U.S. dollar saw intermittent rebounds, including modest
strength in the third and fourth quarters, these moves proved temporary as
structural headwinds continued to push the U.S. dollar lower.
For
the year ended December 31, 2024, the NYSE Arca market value of each Share
increased from $27.09 per Share to $29.42 per Share. The Share price low and
high for the year ended December 31, 2024 and related change from the Share
price on December 31, 2023 was as follows: Shares traded at a low of $27.33 per
Share (+0.89%) on January 02, 2024, and a high of $30.67 per Share (+13.22%) on
December 19, 2024. On December 27, 2024, the Fund paid a distribution of
$1.31709 for each General Share and Share to holders of record as of December
23, 2024. Therefore, the total return for the Fund on a market value basis was
+13.48%.
The
U.S. dollar rallied significantly in 2024, leading to strong positive
performance for the Fund (+13%). While the U.S. dollar had fallen to end 2023 on
expectations for imminent rate cuts, the Federal Reserve stuck to its
higher-for-longer rhetoric through the first two quarters of the year as U.S.
inflation proved stickier than expected. This forced the market to repeatedly
delay Federal Reserve easing expectations at the same time that many global
economies including Switzerland, Sweden, Canada, and the European Central Bank
(ECB) kicked off their rate-cutting cycles. However, the greenback moved lower
in the third quarter with the Federal Reserve joining the others, announcing its
first rate cut in September. Furthermore, the Bank of Japan surprised the market
with a rate hike in August, sending the Japanese Yen higher. In the fourth
quarter however, rising geopolitical tensions and President Trump’s victory
served as tailwinds; many of President Trump’s campaigned policies were expected
to raise inflation risk, potentially leading to slower, if any, Federal Reserve
rate cuts in 2025. In addition, tariffs generally weigh on foreign currencies,
further boosting the U.S. dollar.
Fund
Share Net Asset Performance
For
the year ended December 31, 2025, the NAV of each Share decreased from $29.42
per Share to $27.07 per Share. Falling currency futures contract prices for long
DX Contracts during the year ended December 31, 2025 contributed to an overall
8.06% decrease in the level of the Index and a 4.17% decrease in the level of
the Long Index-TRTM.
On December 26, 2025, the Fund paid a distribution of $0.92686 for each General
Share and Share to holders of record as of December 22, 2025. Therefore, the
total return for the Fund on a NAV basis was -4.83%.
Net
income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $(22.1) million,
resulting from $11.6 million of income, net realized gain (loss) of $(23.5)
million, net change in unrealized gain (loss) of $(8.2) million and net
operating expenses of $1.9 million.
For
the year ended December 31, 2024, the NAV of each Share increased from $27.08
per Share to $29.42 per Share. Rising currency futures contract prices for long
DX Contracts during the year ended December 31, 2024 contributed to an overall
8.64% increase in the level of the Index and a 14.34% increase in the level of
the Long Index-TRTM.
On December 27, 2024, the Fund paid a distribution of $1.31709 for each General
Share and Share to holders of record as of December 23, 2024. Therefore, the
total return for the Fund on a NAV basis was +13.53%.
Net
income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2024, was $44.5 million, resulting
from $19.3 million of income, net realized gain (loss) of $16.2 million, net
change in unrealized gain (loss) of $11.7 million and net operating expenses of
$2.8 million.
Critical
Accounting Estimates
Preparation
of the financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP
requires the application of appropriate accounting rules and guidance, as well
as the use of estimates, and requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue
and expense and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities during
the reporting period of the financial statements and accompanying notes. The
Fund’s application of these policies involves judgments and actual results may
differ from the estimates used.
There
were no material estimates, which involve a significant level of estimation
uncertainty and had or are reasonably likely to have had a material impact on
the Fund’s financial condition, used in the preparation of these financial
statements.
ITEM
7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
INTRODUCTION
The
Fund is designed to track the performance of the Index. The market sensitive
instruments held by it are subject to the risk of trading loss. Unlike an
operating company, the risk of market sensitive instruments is integral, not
incidental, to the Fund’s main line of business.
Market
movements can produce frequent changes in the fair market value of the Fund’s
open positions and, consequently, in its earnings and cash flow. The Fund’s
market risk is primarily influenced by changes in the prices of
currencies.
Standard
of Materiality
Materiality
as used in this section, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk,” is based on an assessment of reasonably possible market movements and the
potential losses caused by such movements, taking into account the effects of
margin, and any other multiplier features, as applicable, of the Fund’s market
sensitive instruments.
QUANTIFYING
THE FUND’S TRADING VALUE AT RISK
Quantitative
Forward-Looking Statements
The
following quantitative disclosures regarding the Fund’s market risk exposures
contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor from
civil liability provided for such statements by the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act
and Section 21E of the Exchange Act). All quantitative disclosures in this
section are deemed to be forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe
harbor, except for statements of historical fact (such as the U.S. dollar amount
of maintenance margin required for market risk sensitive instruments held at the
end of the reporting period).
Value
at Risk (“VaR”) is a statistical measure of the value of losses that would not
be expected to be exceeded over a given time horizon and at a given probability
level arising from movement of underlying risk factors. Loss is measured as a
decline in the fair value of the portfolio as a result of changes in any of the
material variables by which fair values are determined. VaR is measured over a
specified holding period (one day) and to a specified level of statistical
confidence (99th percentile). However, the inherent uncertainty in the markets
in which the Fund trades and the recurrence in the markets traded by the Fund of
market movements far exceeding expectations could result in actual trading or
non-trading losses far beyond the indicated VaR or the Fund’s experience to date
(i.e., “risk of ruin”). In light of these considerations, as well as the risks
and uncertainties intrinsic to all future projections, the following VaR
presentation does not constitute any assurance or representation that the Fund’s
losses in any market sector will be limited to VaR.
THE
FUND’S TRADING VALUE AT RISK
The
Fund calculates VaR using the actual historical market movements of the Fund’s
net assets.
The
following table indicates the trading VaR associated with the Fund’s net assets
as of December 31, 2025.

The VaR represents the one day downside risk, under normal market conditions,
with a 99% confidence level. It is calculated using historical market moves of
the Fund’s net assets and uses a one year look-back.
THE
FUND’S NON-TRADING MARKET RISK
The
Fund has non-trading market risk as a result of investing in short-term United
States Treasury Obligations, T-Bill ETFs and money market mutual funds. The
market risk represented by these investments is not expected to be material.
Although the Fund purchases and sells shares of T-Bill ETFs on an exchange, it
does not establish or liquidate those positions for trading purposes.
QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES REGARDING PRIMARY TRADING MARKET RISK EXPOSURES
The
following qualitative disclosures regarding the Fund’s market risk
exposures—except for those disclosures that are statements of historical
fact—constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. The Fund’s primary
market risk exposures are subject to numerous uncertainties, contingencies and
risks. Government interventions, defaults and expropriations, illiquid markets,
the emergence of dominant fundamental factors, political upheavals, changes in
historical price relationships, an influx of new market participants, increased
regulation and many other factors could result in material losses as well as in
material changes to the risk exposures of the Fund. The Fund’s current market
exposure may change materially. Investors may lose all or substantially all of
their investment in the Fund.
Several
factors may affect the price of the Index Currencies (which underlie the DX
Contracts), including, but not limited to:
•
National
debt levels and trade deficits, including changes in balances of payments and
trade;
•
Domestic
and foreign inflation rates and investors’ expectations concerning inflation
rates;
•
Domestic
and foreign interest rates and investors’ expectations concerning interest
rates;
•
Currency
exchange rates;
•
Investment
and trading activities of mutual funds, hedge funds and currency
funds;
•
Global
or regional political, economic or financial events and
situations;
•
Supply
and demand changes which influence the foreign exchange rates of various
currencies;
•
Monetary
policies of governments (including exchange control programs, restrictions on
local exchanges or markets and limitations on foreign investment in a country or
on investment by residents of a country in other countries), trade restrictions,
currency devaluations and revaluations;
•
Governmental
intervention in the currency market, directly and by regulation, in order to
influence currency prices; and
•
Expectations
among market participants that a currency’s value soon will
change.
QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES REGARDING NON-TRADING MARKET RISK EXPOSURE
As
noted above, the Fund has non-trading market risk as a result of investing in
short-term United States Treasury Obligations, T-Bill ETFs and money market
mutual funds. The market risk represented by these investments is not expected
to be material.
QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES REGARDING MEANS OF MANAGING RISK EXPOSURE
Under
ordinary circumstances, the Managing Owner’s exercise of discretionary power is
limited to determining whether the Fund will make a distribution. Under
emergency or extraordinary circumstances, the Managing Owner’s use of its
discretionary powers may increase. These special circumstances, for example,
include the unavailability of the Index or certain natural or man-made
disasters. The Managing Owner does not actively manage the Fund to avoid losses.
The Fund takes both long and short positions in investments and does not employ
“stop-loss” techniques.

Report
of Management
on Internal Control
Over
Financial Reporting
Management
of Invesco Capital Management LLC, as managing owner (the “Managing Owner”) of
Invesco DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund (the “Fund”), is responsible for
establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting,
as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Internal control over financial reporting
is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
We,
Brian Hartigan, Principal Executive Officer, and Kelli Gallegos, Principal
Financial and Accounting Officer, Investment Pools of the Managing Owner,
assessed the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2025. In making this assessment, we used the
criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (“COSO”) in Internal
Control—Integrated Framework
(2013). Based on our assessment and those criteria, we have concluded that the
Fund maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2025.
The
Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP, has audited the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2025, as stated in their report on page 36
of the Fund’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Report
of Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm
To
the
Board
of Managers of Invesco Capital Management LLC (as Managing Owner of Invesco DB
US Dollar Index Trust) and Shareholders of Invesco DB US Dollar Index Bullish
Fund
Opinions
on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
We
have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition, including the
schedules of investments, of Invesco DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund (one of the
funds constituting Invesco DB US Dollar Index Trust, hereafter referred to as
the “Fund”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related statements of
income and expenses, of changes in shareholders’ equity and of cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, including the
related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). We also
have audited the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting as of December
31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal
Control - Integrated Framework
(2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO).
In
our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2025
and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2025 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our
opinion, the Fund maintained, in all material respects, effective internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria
established in Internal
Control - Integrated Framework
(2013) issued by the COSO.
Basis
for Opinions
The
Fund's management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining
effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of
the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the
accompanying Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Fund’s financial statements and
on the Fund's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We
are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with
respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the
applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and
the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal
control over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects.
Our
audits of the financial statements included performing procedures to assess the
risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error
or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures
included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our audit of
internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of
internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material
weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating
effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also
included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinions.
Definition
and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A
company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to
the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii)
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are
being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of
the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or
timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial
statements.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical
Audit Matters
Critical
audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial
statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit
committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to
the financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging,
subjective, or complex judgments. We determined there are no critical audit
matters.

Invesco
DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund
Notes
to Financial
Statements
December
31, 2025
Note
1 - Organization
Invesco
DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund (the “Fund”), a separate series of Invesco DB US
Dollar Index Trust (the “Trust”), was formed as a Delaware statutory trust on
August 3, 2006. The term of the Fund is perpetual (unless terminated earlier in
certain circumstances) as provided for in the Fifth Amended and Restated
Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement of the Fund, as amended (the “Trust
Agreement”). The Fund has an unlimited number of shares authorized for
issuance.
Invesco
Capital Management LLC has served as the managing owner (the “Managing Owner”),
commodity pool operator and commodity trading advisor of the Fund since February
23, 2015. The Managing Owner holds 40
general shares (the “General Shares”) of the Fund. The fiscal year end of the
Fund is December 31st.
The
Fund establishes long positions in certain futures contracts (the “DX
Contracts”), with a view to tracking the changes, whether positive or negative,
in the level of the Deutsche Bank Long USD Currency Portfolio Index–Excess
ReturnTM
(the “Index”), over time. The Index was renamed effective January 17, 2017.
Prior to January 17, 2017, the Index was known as the Deutsche Bank Long US
Dollar Index (USDX®)
Futures Index-Excess ReturnTM.
The Index, as renamed, is identical to the Index prior to its name change on
January 17, 2017. The performance of the Fund also is intended to reflect the
excess, if any, of the sum of the Fund’s interest income from its holdings of
United States Treasury Obligations (“Treasury Income”), dividends from its
holdings in money market mutual funds (affiliated or otherwise) (“Money Market
Income”) and dividends or distributions of capital gains from its holdings of
T-Bill ETFs (as defined below) (“T-Bill ETF Income”) over the expenses of the
Fund.
The
Fund may invest directly in United States Treasury Obligations. The Fund may
also gain exposure to United States Treasury Obligations through investments in
exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) (affiliated or otherwise) that track indexes that
measure the performance of United States Treasury Obligations with a maximum
remaining maturity of up to 12
months (“T-Bill ETFs”). The Fund may hold as collateral United States Treasury
Obligations, money market mutual funds and T-Bill ETFs (affiliated or
otherwise), if any, for margin and/or cash management purposes. 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 DX Contracts with the aim of seeking to track the
Index.
If
the Managing Owner determines in its commercially reasonable judgment that it
has become impracticable, including in scenarios wherein the futures market for
a DX Contract is thinly traded, or inefficient for any reason for the Fund to
gain full or partial exposure to a DX Contract, the Fund may invest
in:
•
a
different month DX Contract other than the specific DX Contract that was
originally required by the Index,
•
another
futures contract substantially similar to the DX Contracts, if
available,
•
the
futures contracts referencing the Index Currencies, or
•
a
forward agreement, swap, or other OTC derivative referencing the Index
Currencies,
if,
in the commercially reasonable judgment of the Managing Owner, such an
instrument tends to exhibit trading prices that correlate with the DX
Contract.
The
Index is calculated to reflect the changes in market value over time, whether
positive or negative, of long positions in DX Contracts. DX Contracts are traded
through the currency markets of ICE Futures U.S. (formerly known as the New York
Board of Trade®),
under the symbol “DX.” The Index reflects the changes in market value over time,
whether positive or negative, of the DX Contracts which expires during the
months of March, June, September and December. The Fund seeks to track the Index
by establishing long positions in DX Contracts. DX Contracts are linked to the
six underlying currencies (the “Index Currencies”) of the ICE U.S. Dollar Index
(USDX®)
(the “USDX®”).
The Index Currencies are the Euro, Japanese Yen, British Pound, Canadian Dollar,
Swedish Krona and Swiss Franc. The notional amounts of the Index Currencies
included in the USDX®
reflect a geometric weighted average of the change in the Index Currencies’
exchange rates against the U.S. dollar relative to March 1973. March 1973 was
chosen as a base period of the USDX®
because it represents a significant milestone in foreign exchange history when
the world’s major trading nations allowed their currencies to float freely
against each other.
The
Fund offers common units of beneficial interest (the “Shares”) only to certain
eligible financial institutions (the “Authorized Participants”) in one
or more blocks of 50,000
Shares (“Creation Unit”). The Fund commenced investment operations on February
15, 2007. The Fund commenced trading on the American Stock Exchange (which
became the NYSE Alternext US LLC) on February 20, 2007 and, since November 25,
2008, has been listed on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “NYSE Arca”).
This
Annual Report (the “Annual Report”) covers the years ended December 31,
2025,
2024
and 2023. Past performance of the Fund is not necessarily indicative of future
performance.
Note
2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A.
Basis of Presentation
The
financial statements of the Fund have been prepared using accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
The
Fund has determined that it meets the definition of an investment company and
has prepared the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP for
investment companies in conformity with accounting and reporting guidance of the
Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic
946, Financial
Services
— Investment
Companies.
B.
Accounting Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund
monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known
after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are
issued.
C.
Segment
Reporting
The
Fund represents a single
operating segment, in accordance with ASC 280 Segment Reporting. Subject to the
oversight and, when applicable, approval of the Board of Managers, portfolio
managers and senior executives at the Managing
Owner
act as the Fund's chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), assessing performance
and making decisions about resource allocation within the Fund. The CODM
monitors the operating results as a whole, and the Fund's long-term strategic
asset allocation is determined in accordance with the terms of its prospectus
based on a defined investment strategy.
The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is consistent
with that presented in the Fund's financial statements.
D.
Investment Valuations
Investments
in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on
an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value (“NAV”) per share.
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that
trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing
price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the
security is principally traded.
United
States Treasury Obligations are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by
an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service
may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect
appropriate factors such as developments related to specific securities, yield,
quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading
characteristics and other market data. All debt obligations involve some risk of
default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Futures
contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which
they are principally traded.
Securities
for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are
valued at fair value as determined in good faith following procedures approved
by the Managing Owner. Issuer-specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes
of brokers and information providers and other data may be reviewed in the
course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair
value.
Valuations
change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective
earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market
conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as
real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook
for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates,
regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread
disease or other public health issues, war, military conflicts, acts of
terrorism, economic crises, economic sanctions and tariffs, significant
governmental actions or adverse investor sentiment generally and market
liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values
reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value
received upon actual sale of those investments.
E.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income
Investment
transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses
from the sale or disposition of securities or derivatives are determined on a
specific identification basis and recognized in the Statements of Income and
Expenses in the period in which the contract is closed or the sale or
disposition occurs, respectively. Interest income on United States Treasury
Obligations is recognized on an accrual basis when earned. Premiums and
discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the United States Treasury
Obligations. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
F.
Profit and Loss Allocations and Distributions
Pursuant
to the Trust Agreement, income and expenses are allocated pro
rata
to the Managing Owner as holder of the General Shares and to the Shareholders
monthly based on their respective percentage interests as of the close of the
last trading day of the preceding month. Distributions (other than redemption of
units) may be made at the sole discretion of the Managing Owner on a
pro
rata
basis in accordance with the respective capital balances of the
Shareholders.
The
Managing Owner has sole discretion in determining what distributions, if any,
the Fund will make to Shareholders. A distribution for the year ended December
31, 2025 was paid on December
26, 2025
to holders of record, as of December
22, 2025
at a rate of $0.92686
for each General Share and Share for a total distribution of $11
to General Shares and $7,692,964
to Shares.

G.
Routine Operational, Administrative and Other Ordinary Expenses
The
Managing Owner is responsible for all routine operational, administrative and
other ordinary expenses of the Fund, including, but not limited to, computer
services, the fees and expenses of the Trustee, legal and accounting fees and
expenses, tax preparation expenses, filing fees and printing, mailing and
duplication costs. The Fund does not reimburse the Managing Owner for the
routine operational, administrative and other ordinary expenses of the Fund.
Accordingly, such expenses are not reflected in the Statements of Income and
Expenses of the Fund.
H.
Non-Recurring Fees and Expenses
The
Fund pays all non-recurring and unusual fees and expenses, if any, of itself, as
determined by the Managing Owner. Non-recurring and unusual fees and expenses
include fees and expenses, such as legal claims and liabilities, litigation
costs, indemnification expenses or other non-routine expenses. Non-recurring and
unusual fees and expenses, by their nature, are unpredictable in terms of timing
and amount. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024
and 2023, the Fund did not incur such
expenses.
I.
Brokerage Commissions and Fees
The
Fund incurs all brokerage commissions, including applicable exchange fees,
National Futures Association (“NFA”) fees, give-up fees, pit brokerage fees and
other transaction related fees and expenses charged in connection with trading
activities by the Commodity Broker (as defined below). These costs are recorded
as Brokerage Commissions and Fees in the Statements of Income and Expenses. The
Commodity Broker’s brokerage commissions and trading fees are determined on a
contract-by-contract basis. On
average, total charges paid to the Commodity Broker
were less
than
$5.00,
$5.00
and $5.00
per round-turn trade for the years
ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023,
respectively.
J.
Income
Taxes
The
Fund is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Accordingly, the Fund will generally not incur U.S. federal income taxes. No
provision for federal, state, and local income taxes has been made in the
accompanying financial statements, as investors are individually liable for
income taxes, if any, on their allocable share of the Fund’s income, gain, loss,
deductions and other items.
The
Managing Owner has reviewed all of the Fund’s open tax years and major
jurisdictions and concluded that there is no tax liability resulting from
unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain tax positions taken or expected
to be taken in future tax returns. The major tax jurisdiction for the Fund and
the earliest tax year subject to examination: United States,
2022.
K.
Currency Futures Contracts
The
Fund utilizes derivative instruments to achieve its investment objective. A
currency futures contract is an agreement between counterparties to purchase or
sell a specified underlying currency for a specified price, or to pay or receive
a cash amount based on the value of an index or other reference instrument, at a
future date. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures
contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as
collateral with the Commodity Broker. During the period that the currency
futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized
as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a
daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments can be received or
made
depending
upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts, if any, are
reflected as a receivable or payable on the Statements of Financial Condition.
Otherwise, the variation margin excess or deficit can be netted with cash held
at the Commodity Broker. These amounts, if any, are reflected as Deposit with
Commodity Broker on the Statements of Financial Condition. When
the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss
equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing
transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. Realized gains (losses) and
changes in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on open positions are
determined on a specific identification basis and recognized in the Statements
of Income and Expenses in the period in which the contract is closed or the
changes occur,
respectively.
Note
3 - Financial Instrument Risk
In
the normal course of its business, the Fund is a party to financial instruments
with off-balance sheet risk. The term “off-balance sheet risk” 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 in excess of the
amounts shown on the Statements of Financial Condition. The financial
instruments used by the Fund are currency futures contracts, the values of which
are based upon an underlying asset and generally represent future commitments
that have a reasonable possibility of being settled in cash or through physical
delivery. The financial instruments are traded on an exchange and are
standardized contracts.
Market
risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial instruments
traded by the Fund due to market changes, including fluctuations in currency
prices. In entering into these futures contracts, there exists a market risk
that such futures contracts may be significantly influenced by adverse market
conditions, resulting in such futures contracts being less valuable. If the
markets should move against all of the futures contracts at the same time, the
Fund could experience substantial losses.
Credit
risk is the possibility that a loss may occur due to the failure of the
Commodity Broker and/or clearing house to perform according to the terms of a
futures contract. Credit risk with respect to exchange-traded instruments is
reduced to the extent that an exchange or clearing organization acts as a
counterparty to the transactions. 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 Commodity Futures Trading
Commission (the “CFTC”) regulations to separately account for and segregate as
belonging to the Fund all assets of the Fund relating to domestic futures
trading. The Commodity Broker is not allowed to commingle such assets with other
assets of the Commodity Broker. In addition, CFTC regulations also require the
Commodity Broker to hold in a secure account assets of the Fund related to
foreign futures trading. The Fund’s risk of loss in the event of counterparty
default is typically limited to the amounts recognized in the Statements of
Financial Condition and not represented by the futures contract or notional
amounts of the instruments.
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.
Note
4 – Service Providers and Related Party Agreements
The
Trustee
Under
the Trust Agreement, Wilmington Trust Company, the trustee of the Fund (the
“Trustee”), has the power and authority to execute and file certificates as
required by the Delaware Statutory Trust Act and to accept service of process on
the Fund in the State of Delaware. The Managing Owner has the exclusive
management and control of all aspects of the business of the Fund. The Trustee
will serve in that capacity until such time as the Managing Owner removes the
Trustee or the Trustee resigns and a successor is appointed by the Managing
Owner. The Trustee will have no duty or liability to supervise or monitor the
performance of the Managing Owner, nor will the Trustee have any liability for
the acts or omissions of the Managing Owner.
The
Managing Owner
The
Managing Owner serves as the Fund’s commodity pool operator, commodity trading
advisor and managing owner. The Fund pays the Managing Owner a management fee,
monthly in arrears, in an amount equal to 0.75%
per annum of the daily NAV of the Fund (the “Management Fee”). The Fund, for
cash management purposes, invests 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 fee that the Fund incurs 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 this fee waiver on 60
days’
notice.
The
Managing Owner waived fees of $206,994,
$164,241
and $396,791
for the years ended December
31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The
Distributor
Invesco
Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”) provides certain distribution services to
the Fund. Pursuant to the Distribution Services Agreement among the Managing
Owner, the Fund and the Distributor, the Distributor assists the Managing Owner
and the Fund’s administrator, The Bank of New York Mellon, with certain
functions and duties relating to distribution and marketing services to the Fund
including reviewing and approving marketing materials.
The
Managing Owner pays the Distributor a distribution fee out of the Management
Fee.
The
Commodity Broker
Morgan
Stanley & Co. LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the
Fund’s futures clearing broker (the “Commodity Broker”). The Commodity Broker is
registered with the CFTC as an FCM and is a member of the NFA in such
capacity.
A
variety of executing brokers execute futures transactions on behalf of the Fund.
Such executing brokers give-up all such transactions to the Commodity Broker. In
its capacity as clearing broker, the Commodity Broker may execute or receive
transactions executed by others and clears all of the Fund’s futures
transactions and performs certain administrative and custodial services for the
Fund. The Commodity Broker is responsible, among other things, for providing
periodic accountings of all dealings and actions taken by the Trust on behalf of
the Fund during the reporting period, together with an accounting of all
securities, cash or other indebtedness or obligations held by it or its nominees
for or on behalf of the Fund.
The
Administrator, Custodian and Transfer Agent
The
Bank of New York Mellon (the “Administrator”, “Custodian” and “Transfer Agent”)
is the administrator, custodian and transfer agent of the Fund. The Fund and the
Administrator have entered into separate administrative and accounting,
custodian, transfer agency and service agreements (collectively referred to as
the “Administration Agreement”).
Pursuant
to the Administration Agreement, the Administrator performs or supervises the
performance of services necessary for the operation and administration of the
Fund (other than making investment decisions), including receiving and
processing orders from Authorized Participants to create and redeem Creation
Units, NAV calculations, accounting and other fund administrative services. The
Administrator maintains certain financial books and records, including: Creation
Unit creation and redemption records; fund accounting records; ledgers with
respect to assets, liabilities, capital, income and expenses; the registrar,
transfer journals and related details; and trading and related documents
received from the Commodity Broker. The Managing Owner pays the Administrator
for its services out of the Management Fee.
Index
Sponsor
The
Managing Owner, on behalf of the Fund, has appointed Deutsche Bank Securities
Inc. to serve as the index sponsor (the “Index Sponsor”). The Index Sponsor
calculates and publishes the daily index levels and the indicative intraday
index levels. Additionally, the Index Sponsor also calculates the indicative
value per Share of the Fund throughout each business day.
The
Managing Owner pays the Index Sponsor a licensing fee and an index services fee
out of the Management Fee for performing its
duties.
Note
5 - Deposits with Commodity Broker and Custodian
The
Fund defines cash as cash held by the Custodian. Cash deposits held by the
Commodity Broker are reflected as Deposit with Commodity Broker on the
Statements of Financial Condition. There
were no
cash equivalents held by the Fund as of December
31, 2025 and 2024. The Fund considers investments in money market funds to be
investments in securities and, accordingly, includes them in its Schedule of
Investments.
The
Fund may deposit cash, United States Treasury Obligations, T-Bill ETFs and money
market mutual funds with the Commodity Broker as margin, to the extent
permissible under CFTC rules. The combination of the Fund’s deposits with its
Commodity Broker of cash and United States Treasury Obligations and the
unrealized profit or loss on open futures contracts represents the Fund’s
overall equity in its broker trading account. To meet the Fund’s maintenance
margin requirements, the Fund holds United States Treasury Obligations and/or
cash with the Commodity Broker. The Fund may utilize excess cash or otherwise
transfer cash to the Commodity Broker to satisfy variation margin requirements.
The Fund earns interest on any excess cash deposited with the Commodity Broker
and incurs interest expense on any deficit balance with the Commodity
Broker.
The
brokerage agreement with the Commodity Broker provides for the net settlement of
all financial instruments covered by the agreement in the event of default or
termination of any one contract. The Managing Owner will utilize any excess cash
held at the Commodity Broker to offset any realized losses incurred in the
currency futures contracts, if available. To the extent that any excess cash
held at the Commodity Broker is not adequate to cover any realized losses, a
portion of the United States Treasury Obligations and T-Bill ETFs, if any, on
deposit with the Commodity Broker will be sold to make additional cash
available. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund offsets financial assets
and financial liabilities that are subject to legally enforceable netting
arrangements.
The
Fund’s remaining cash, United States Treasury Obligations, T-Bill ETFs and money
market mutual fund holdings are on deposit with the Custodian. The Fund is
permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account
with the Custodian. The Fund incurs interest expense on any overdraft balance
with the Custodian. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown on the
Statements of Financial Condition under the payable caption Due
to custodian.
Because
the Fund’s assets are maintained with the Commodity Broker and Custodian, the
distress, impairment or failure of the Commodity Broker or Custodian could
result in the loss of or delay in access to Fund
assets.
Note
6 - Additional Valuation Information
U.S.
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or
paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. U.S. GAAP
establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving
the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active
market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant
unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily
available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or
other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation
methods or market conditions may result in transfers in or out of an
investment’s assigned level:
Level
1: Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical
assets.
Level
2: Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable
inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security.
These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates,
prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates,
discount rates, volatilities and others.
Level
3: Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations
where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when
there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the
period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s
own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining
fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best
available information.
The
levels assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the
risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the
inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial
statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of
those investments.
The
following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels as of December
31, 2025:

Note
9 - Share Purchases and Redemptions
(a)
Purchases
On
any business day, an Authorized Participant may place an order with the Transfer
Agent to create one
or more Creation Units. Each Creation Unit consists of a block of 50,000
Shares. For purposes of processing both creation and redemption orders, a
“business day” means any day other than a day when banks in New York City are
required or permitted to be closed. Creation orders must be placed by 1:00 p.m.,
Eastern Time. The day on which the Transfer Agent receives a valid creation
order is the creation order date. The day on which a creation order is settled
is the creation order settlement date. Cash settlement occurs at the creation
order settlement date. As provided below, the creation order settlement date may
occur up to one business day after the creation order date. By placing a
creation order, and prior to delivery of such Creation Units, an Authorized
Participant’s Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account is charged the
non-refundable transaction fee due for the creation order.
Unless
otherwise agreed to by the Managing Owner and the Authorized Participant as
provided in the next sentence, Creation Units are issued on the creation order
settlement date as of 2:45 p.m., Eastern Time, on the business day immediately
following the creation order date at the applicable NAV per Share as of the
closing time of the NYSE Arca or the last to close of the exchanges on which its
futures contracts are traded, whichever is later, on the creation order date,
but only if the required payment has been timely received. Upon submission of a
creation order, the Authorized Participant may request the Managing Owner to
agree to a creation order settlement date up to one business day after the
creation order date.
(b)
Redemptions
On
any business day, an Authorized Participant may place an order with the Transfer
Agent to redeem one
or more Creation Units. Redemption orders must be placed by 1:00 p.m., Eastern
Time. The day on which the Managing Owner receives a valid redemption order is
the redemption order date. The day on which a redemption order is settled is the
redemption order settlement date. Cash settlement occurs at the redemption order
settlement date. As provided below, the redemption order settlement date may
occur up to one business day after the redemption order date. The redemption
procedures allow Authorized Participants to redeem Creation Units. Individual
Shareholders may not redeem directly from the Fund. Instead, individual
Shareholders may only redeem Shares in integral multiples of 50,000
and only through an Authorized Participant.
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. Upon submission of a redemption order, the Authorized
Participant may request the Managing Owner to agree to a redemption order
settlement date up to one business day after the redemption order date. 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.
The
redemption proceeds from the Fund consist of the cash redemption amount. The
cash redemption amount is equal to the NAV of the number of Creation Unit(s)
requested in the Authorized Participant’s redemption order as of the closing
time of the NYSE Arca or the last to close of the exchanges on which the Fund’s
futures contracts are traded, whichever is later, on the redemption order date.
The Managing Owner will distribute the cash redemption amount at the redemption
order settlement date as of 2:45 p.m., Eastern Time, on the redemption order
settlement date through DTC to the account of the Authorized Participant as
recorded on DTC’s book-entry system.
The
redemption proceeds due from the Fund are delivered to the Authorized
Participant at 2:45 p.m., Eastern Time, on the redemption order settlement date
if, by such time, the Fund’s DTC account has been credited with the Creation
Units to be redeemed. If the Fund’s DTC account has not been credited with all
of the Creation Units to be redeemed by such time, the redemption distribution
is delivered to the extent of whole Creation Units received. Any remainder of
the redemption distribution is delivered on the next business day to the extent
of remaining whole Creation Units received if the Transfer Agent receives the
fee applicable to the extension of the redemption distribution date which the
Managing Owner may, from time to time, determine and the remaining Creation
Units to be redeemed are credited to the Fund’s DTC account by 2:45 p.m.,
Eastern Time, on such next business day. Any further outstanding amount of the
redemption order will be cancelled. The Managing Owner is also authorized to
deliver the redemption distribution notwithstanding that the Creation Units to
be redeemed are not credited to the Fund’s DTC account by 2:45 p.m., Eastern
Time, on the redemption order settlement date if the Authorized Participant has
collateralized its obligation to deliver the Creation Units through DTC’s
book-entry system on such terms as the Managing Owner may determine from time to
time.
Note
10 - Commitments and Contingencies
The
Managing Owner, either in its own capacity or in its capacity as the Managing
Owner and on behalf of the Fund, has entered into various service agreements
that contain a variety of representations, or provide indemnification provisions
related to certain risks service providers undertake in performing services for
the Fund. The Trust Agreement provides for the Fund to indemnify the Managing
Owner and any affiliate of the Managing Owner that provides services to the Fund
to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, subject to certain exceptions
for disqualifying conduct by the Managing Owner or such an affiliate. The Fund's
maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve
future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
Further, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these
contracts. Accordingly, the Managing Owner expects the risk of loss to be
remote.
Note
11 - Financial Highlights
The
Fund is presenting the following NAV and financial highlights related to
investment performance for a Share outstanding for the years ended December 31,
2025, 2024 and 2023. An individual investor’s return and ratios may vary based
on the timing of capital transactions.
NAV
per Share is the NAV of the Fund divided by the number of outstanding Shares at
the date of each respective period presented.
