INVESCO DB BASE METALS FUND

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, as amended November

10, 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

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

Certain potential conflicts of interest exist between the Managing Owner, the Commodity Broker (as defined herein) and their affiliates and the Fund’s 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.

•

•

•

As a result of increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets, political turmoil in the U.S. or in other countries, 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 global economic and financial markets, including increased volatility, reduced liquidity, and overall uncertainty. The negative impacts may be particularly acute in certain commodities markets.

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 17.76%. 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.

Possible Illiquid Markets May Exacerbate Losses.

Trading on Futures Exchanges Outside the United States Is Not Subject to U.S. Regulation.

Trading on futures exchanges located outside the United States is not regulated by any United States governmental agency and may involve certain risks not applicable to trading on U.S. exchanges, including different or diminished investor protections. If the Fund trades contracts denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars, the Fund will be exposed to the risk of adverse exchange-rate movements between the dollar and the currencies in which those contracts are denominated.

In addition, trading on non-U.S. exchanges is subject to the risks presented by exchange controls, expropriation, increased tax burdens and exposure to local economic declines and political instability, among other factors. An adverse development with respect to any of these factors could reduce the profit or increase the loss earned on the Fund’s trades on non-U.S. exchanges.

Hamas’ attack against Israel in October 2023 and the ensuing conflict, have had, and may continue to have, an impact on certain commodities markets and commodity 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 commodity 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 commodities markets, including, but not limited to, energy markets.

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, traditional debt and equity securities issued by companies in the commodities industry, other securities backed by or linked to commodities, and direct investments in the underlying commodities or commodity futures 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 commodities directly, which could limit the market for the Shares and therefore reduce the liquidity of the Shares.

Futures Risks

The Fund’s returns from futures trading are called excess return, which is the combined return based on the spot prices of the Index Commodities and the roll yield from trading Index Contracts. Market conditions at the time the Fund replaces expiring Index Contracts with new Index Contracts –i.e., when Index Contracts are “rolled” – will affect the Fund’s roll yield. Those market conditions are referred to as backwardation and contango, which will generally affect the Fund’s roll yield as set forth below:

Index Risks

The Index Commodities are Aluminum, Zinc, Lead, Nickel, Comex Copper and Copper – Grade A. Other commodity indexes may contain a larger number of commodities than the Index. Accordingly, increased volatility in a single Index Commodity may have a greater impact on the Index’s overall volatility than would likely be the case with increased volatility in a single commodity within a broader 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 Commodity.

Regulatory Risks

The Index is composed of six Index Commodities, each of which is or may be subject to position limits imposed by the rules of futures exchanges on which Index Contracts are traded. The CFTC amended its position limits rules in October 2020. Pursuant to the amended rules, federal position limits apply to 25 physical delivery commodity futures contracts and options thereon, as well as to referenced contracts, including swaps that are economically equivalent to such contracts and to futures and options thereon that are directly or indirectly linked to the price of such contracts or to the same commodity underlying such contracts (e.g., cash-settled look-a-like futures subject to a phased-in compliance period). Under the amended framework, position limits (i) for 25 core referenced futures contracts (including corn, oats, wheat, soybean, soybean meal, soybean oil, cotton, live cattle, rough rice, cocoa, coffee, frozen orange juice concentrate, sugar, gold, silver, copper, platinum, palladium, natural gas, crude oil, heating oil, and RBOB gasoline) are determined by the CFTC and (ii) for all other commodities are determined by the futures exchanges. The amended position limits rules include in the position limits regime certain contracts offered by a foreign board of trade (“FBOT”), requiring market participants to include their positions in referenced contracts that are executed on or subject to the rules of an FBOT if the positions are held in referenced contracts that settle to (“linked to”) a referenced contract on a designated contract market, and the FBOT allows direct access to its trading system for participants located in the United States.

Since coming into effect on January 3, 2018, Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II (“MiFID II”), as implemented in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and the United Kingdom (“UK”), requires the competent authorities of member states in the EEA and the UK to impose position limits on certain commodity derivatives contracts which are applicable to any person, whether or not based in the EEA or the UK. Pursuant to laws and regulations that implemented MiFID II in the UK, the UK regulatory authority, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), has established position limits applicable to, among other commodity derivative contracts, aluminum, copper, lead, nickel, tin and zinc commodity derivative contracts traded on the London Metal Exchange (“LME”). LME may also impose accountability levels in certain contracts, where further directions in respect of those positions can then be required. If the Fund were to trade commodity derivatives contracts on other exchanges in the EEA or the UK, position limits may apply to such trading activity pursuant to the relevant national laws and regulations that implemented MiFID II. On January 31, 2020, the UK formally withdrew from the European Union (“EU”) subject to a transition period that expired on December 31, 2020. 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 Fund and its investments specifically. Any UK firm that was trading derivatives in EEA markets using a MiFID passport prior to the conclusion of the transition period can no longer use a MiFID II passport to do so and instead needs to look to any MiFID II third country regime to access the EEA market or establish a MiFID II compliant EEA branch or subsidiary. The loss of MiFID II passports by UK-based firms could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to trade derivatives in EEA markets through UK-based firms.

Tax Risks

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.
