Current report

The Index is intended to reflect the economic performance of investing in futures contracts on the precious metals sector. The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing in a portfolio of exchange-traded futures on commodities in the precious metals sector. The Index Sponsor selects and weights commodities in the Index on an annual basis based on (i) the value and liquidity of the market for associated commodity futures contracts and (ii) their production volume (in order to factor in the relative importance of the commodity in the global economy).

Current report

Commodity futures quoted in U.S. Dollars and listed on major U.S. and European exchanges are eligible for inclusion in the Index. Eligible commodities are selected based on their Three-Year Total Dollar Volume Average (i.e., commodities are initially screened for inclusion based on their relative three-year “Total Dollar Volume” traded, which is calculated by multiplying the total volume of futures traded during the last one-year period by the average close price of the front month contract on each month end during that one-year period). Each commodity’s three-year Total Dollar Volume traded is calculated in proportion to the three-year Total Dollar Volume traded of all commodities within its sector to determine its initial sector liquidity rate. A commodity with a proportionate weight of less than 2% (or 1.5% for a commodity included at the last rebalance) within its sector is excluded from the Index. Each remaining commodity’s three-year Total Dollar Volume traded is calculated in proportion to the three-year Total Dollar Volume traded of all eligible commodities (“Filtered Commodity Weight”).

Current report

Commodity weights in the Index are determined by the Parent Index. The Parent Index determines production weights for each eligible commodity based on the total dollar amount of the commodity produced within the year in proportion to the sum of the production dollar amounts within the precious metals sector (“Production Weights”). The weight of each commodity in the Index is generally based on the average of the Filtered Commodity Weight and the Production Weight, subject to the requirement that each commodity must have an allocation within the Index of no less than 5%.

Current report

The Index is rebalanced annually on the sixth business day in November. However, during periods of heightened volatility or when commodity prices experience significant movements, the commodities weights within the Index may be reset or reduced based on the weight implemented at the previous annual rebalance. Effective November 10, 2025, the Index comprised the following commodities: Gold, Platinum, and Silver.

Current report

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the NYSE Arca market value of each Share increased from $102.78 per Share to $110.22 per Share. The Share price low and high for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and related change from the Share price on December 31, 2025 was as follows: Shares traded at a low of $101.77 per Share (-0.98%) on March 26, 2026 and a high of $136.20 per Share (+32.52%) on January 29, 2026. The total return for the Fund on a market value basis was +7.24%.

Current report

Precious metals delivered strong gains in the first quarter of 2026 as heightened geopolitical uncertainty and rising market volatility increased demand for defensive assets. Escalating tensions between Iran and the United States, alongside increased disruption threats in the Strait of Hormuz, lifted broader systemic risk and reinforced gold’s role as a safe haven. Silver also contributed to positive performance, benefitting from both safe haven demand and its industrial use profile. Together, these factors drove strength across the precious metals complex and contributed positively to Fund performance during the quarter.

per Share (+17.96%) on March 31, 2025. The total return for the Fund on a market value basis was +17.96%.

Current report

Precious metals saw strong positive performance in the first quarter of 2025 with both gold and silver posting front month gains of nearly 20%. Gold repeatedly broke all-time highs above $3,000/oz as the Federal Reserve elected to keep rates unchanged and investors flocked to safe haven assets in the wake of the global tariff/ trade war. Other longtime factors like central bank purchases amid persistent de-dollarization efforts and robust ETF investor demand also contributed to positive performance. In addition to the tailwinds from precious metals, silver was also supported by positive drivers in industrial metals, including Chinese stimulus optimism in January, general strengthening in global manufacturing, and frontloading demand in anticipation of tariffs.

Current report

Net income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $15.2 million, primarily resulting from income of $2.5 million, from net realized gain (loss) of $3.7 million, net change in unrealized gain (loss) of $9.5 million and net operating expenses of $0.5 million.

Previous report

The Index is rebalanced annually in November to ensure that each of the Index Commodities is weighted in the same proportion that such Index Commodities were weighted on December 2, 1988. The composition of the Index may be adjusted in the event that the Index Sponsor is not able to calculate the closing prices of the Index Commodities.

Returns for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024

Previous report

Precious metals added to their strong year to date gains in the third quarter of 2025. Gold continued to reach new record highs supported by the growth of U.S. dollar debasement trades and safe haven demand due to concerns about fiscal sustainability, the Federal Reserve’s independence, geopolitical developments, and overall macro uncertainty. Lower interest rates, inflation expectations, and a softer U.S. dollar were also supporting factors, while central banks and ETFs alike have continued to accumulate gold amid the aforementioned themes. The silver rally outpaced gold, benefiting from this macroeconomic backdrop but also from industrial demand for energy/power grid technology, increased defense spending plans, and persistent supply deficits.

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

Previous report

Precious metals showed strong performance in the first three quarters of 2025, gaining from persistent macro themes. Both central bank buying and ETF inflows were key performance drivers as investors sought safe havens and portfolio hedges amid de-dollarization trends, economic uncertainty, and geopolitical risks. Gold and silver have both soared this year, but the rally in silver has outpaced that of gold, benefitting from additional industrial metal tailwinds, demand for solar technology, increased defense spending plans which boosted silver’s demand expectations, and persisting supply deficits.

Past results of the Index and the DBIQ-OY Precious Metals TR™ are not necessarily indicative of future changes, positive or negative.

Previous wording

The section “Summary of the DBIQ-OY Precious Metals TR™ and Underlying Index Commodity Returns for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024” below provides an overview of the changes in the closing levels of the DBIQ-OY Precious Metals TR™ by disclosing the change in market value of each underlying component Index Commodity through a “surrogate” (and analogous) index that also reflects 3-month United States Treasury Obligations returns. Please note also that the Fund’s objective is to track the Index (not the DBIQ-OY Precious Metals TR™), and the Fund does not attempt to outperform or underperform the Index. The Index employs the optimum yield roll method with the objective of mitigating the negative effects of contango, the condition in which distant delivery prices for futures exceed spot prices, and maximizing the positive effects of backwardation, a condition opposite of contango.
