Current report
The Index is intended to reflect the economic performance of investing in futures contracts on the energy sector. The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing in a portfolio of exchange-traded futures on commodities in the energy 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 energy 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: Light Sweet Crude Oil (WTI), Gas Oil, Ultra- Low Sulphur Diesel (also commonly known as Heating Oil), RBOB Gasoline, Natural Gas, and Brent Crude.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the NYSE Arca market value of each Share increased from $17.47 per Share to $29.46 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 $17.12 per Share (-2.00%) on January 7, 2026, and a high of $30.60 per Share (+75.16%) on March 30, 2026. The total return for the Fund on a market value basis was +68.63%.
Current report
Energy commodities moved sharply higher in the first quarter of 2026, leaving the Fund with over 60% in gains. Crude oil was the largest contributor to Fund performance, while natural gas was the only commodity to detract from performance. Crude oil prices experienced wide intra‑quarter volatility but ultimately rallied sharply as geopolitical tensions between Iran and the United States escalated and the Strait of Hormuz was closed, effectively halting oil and refined product flows through the critical chokepoint. The disruption materially heightened supply‑side concerns and drove a significant increase in geopolitical risk premiums across global energy markets. Refined products, including gasoline, gas oil, and diesel, also posted gains, supported by constrained flows, seasonal refinery maintenance, and tightening product balances. In contrast, natural gas prices declined overall amid volatile trading conditions, despite early‑quarter support from colder‑than‑normal weather, inventory draws, and a constructive longer‑term outlook for liquified natural gas exports.
Current report
Energy commodities moved higher in the first quarter of 2025, led mostly by gains in Natural Gas. Front month Natural Gas futures ended the quarter 10% higher but price action was volatile, swinging in a range of more than 45% from peak to trough. Several cold spells through the winter season left heating demand stronger than expected, leading to notable inventory draws in the U.S. A bright outlook for liquified natural gas (LNG) exports also supported the commodity. The other strong performer in the Fund was Gasoline as winter refinery maintenance went underway, helping to tighten inventories. While Crude Oil ended flat on the quarter, prices were volatile throughout the quarter. Crude Oil prices initially rallied in January on the prior U.S. administration’s farewell sanctions on Russian oil and gas but then retreated as ceasefire developments provided relief on the geopolitical front. The new U.S. administration's “drill, baby, drill” plans raised U.S. supply expectations, tariff headlines drove a risk-off move, and OPEC announced it would be gradually bringing back production. Oil prices recovered significantly in March as the U.S. imposed a 25% tariff on any country buying Venezuelan oil and/or gas and issued fresh sanctions on Chinese refineries processing Iranian Crude Oil.

Returns for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
Previous report
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the NYSE Arca market value of each Share increased from $18.62 per Share to $19.01 per Share. The Share price low and high for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and related change from the Share price on June 30, 2025 was as follows: Shares traded at a low of $18.50 per Share (-0.64%) on August 19, 2025, and a high of $20.04 per Share (+7.63%) on July 30, 2025. The total return for the Fund on a market value basis was +2.09%.
Previous report
Energy commodities had a turbulent third quarter, but the Fund posted a slight gain in the third quarter 2025. Oil markets were pressured by concerns about an overhang as both non-OPEC supply and OPEC+ production continued to grow. However, these headwinds were balanced out by competing geopolitical effects, including U.S. tariff threats on India for purchases of Russian oil, strong summer driving demand, and healthy refining margins. Gasoline was the top performer, supported by tight supplies and seasonal demand, followed by NY Harbor ultra-low sulfur diesel (“ULSD”) which gained on seasonal low inventories. Natural gas, the only detractor for the Fund, was pressured by ample stockpiles and warmer weather but continued to fluctuate in wide ranges week to week.

Fund Share Price Performance
Previous report
Fund performance was nearly flat in the first three quarters of 2025, largely due to losses in crude oil. Prices fell throughout the first half of the year but pared some losses in the third quarter, as gains were limited as oil was caught between the prospects of a supply glut and flaring geopolitical risks. NY Harbor ULSD was the top contributor due to tighter supplies and resilient demand. Natural gas had a strong start to the year due to colder weather boosting heating demand and resilient LNG exports. While this trend was later reversed, it ended the period as the second largest contributor to Fund performance. Gasoline experienced losses in the second quarter, which were almost fully offset by the first quarter and the third quarter gains due to tighter inventory and seasonally strong travel demand, leaving year-to-date returns flat.

The Fund’s commodity 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.

The following graphs illustrate the percentage changes in (i) the market price of the Shares (as reflected by the line “Market”), (ii) the Fund’s NAV (as reflected by the line “NAV”), and (iii) the closing levels of the Index (as reflected by the line “DBIQ Opt Yield Energy Index ER”). 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 levels of the Index 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.

The Index is composed of notional amounts of each of the underlying Index Commodities. The notional amount of each Index Commodity included in the Index is intended to reflect the changes in market value of each such Index Commodity within the Index. The closing level of the Index is calculated on each business day by the Index Sponsor based on the closing price of the commodity futures contracts for each of the Index Commodities and the notional amount of such Index Commodity.

Please note also that the Fund’s objective is to track the Index (not the DBIQ-OY Energy 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.
