Commodity Market

Commodities were one of the best performing asset classes for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022, maintaining positive returns while most other asset classes turned negative. Following an exceptionally strong start to the calendar year as the geopolitical crisis surrounding the Russia-Ukraine war unfolded, where already fundamentally tight commodities markets were further challenged given both nations’ key roles as commodities powerhouses, prices sold off significantly across the board towards the end of the second quarter of 2022 and through the third quarter of 2022. While the earlier gains in agricultural commodities and metals were mostly, if not completely, wiped out as recession fears weighed heavily on investor sentiment and US dollar strength dented export demand, energy commodities were able to keep most of their gains from the first half of the fiscal year. The deepening energy crisis in Europe and escalating punitive actions against Russia, in addition to Russia’s retaliatory responses, helped limit the downside from macro pressures.

For the fiscal year, the Deutsche Bank OY Diversified Commodity Index Excess Return returned 17.88% with energy and agriculture commodities performing positively, whereas both industrial and precious metals finished the fiscal year with negative performance.

Energy was the best performing sector during the fiscal year, with the DBIQ Optimum Yield Energy Index Excess Return posting a return of 34.79%. Energy commodities rallied aggressively in the first two quarters of 2022 due to snowballing supply concerns fueled by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the resulting sanctions, most notably the European Union’s ban of Russian oil and refined products, which sent both front month Brent and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil prices into triple digit territory. Front month gasoline and Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) prices were also up over 60% in the first half of the calendar year on limited supplies but reversed sharply in the third quarter of 2022, partially due to the historic release of the US Strategic Petroleum Reserves and continued loss of demand from China’s lockdowns.

Agricultural commodities initially rallied to multi-year and even historic highs following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine—both countries are vital players in the global grains trade—but the DBIQ Diversified Agriculture Index Excess Return finished the fiscal year only slightly positive, posting a return of 3.08%. Prices retreated starting at the end of the second quarter of 2022, driven by recession fears, easing weather concerns and the passage of the Black Sea Grains Initiative in July 2022. However, significant risk premium was added back to the grains market to end the third quarter of 2022 as tensions in Ukraine escalated amidst nuclear threats from Russian President Vladimir Putin and the annexation of territories in response to his military setbacks. Hot, dry weather across the US and other parts of the world lowered yields on many crops, further supporting prices, while increasing energy

prices continued to drive up agricultural processing and transportation costs.

Industrial metals were the hardest hit sector of the commodity complex, despite several commodities posting their strongest quarterly gains since 2010 in the first quarter of 2022. The DBIQ Optimum Yield Industrial Metals Index Excess Return was down 17.30% for the fiscal year. Growing COVID-19 lockdowns in China, the world’s largest metals consumer, followed by a slow and spotty recovery and the country’s persistent adherence to the zero-COVID-19 policy, plus accelerating recession concerns in Europe, the US and China, heavily weighed on both physical and investment demand for industrial metals. This sent the sector into freefall throughout the third quarter of 2022.

Precious metals failed to maintain positive performance over the fiscal year with the DBIQ Optimum Yield Precious Metals Index Excess Return down 12.29%. While the sector was initially supported by rising demand for safe haven assets and inflation hedging in the first quarter of 2022 amid heightened tensions leading up to the Russian invasion, rising treasury yields and a strengthening US dollar in the second and third quarters of 2022 due to aggressive interest rate hike expectations and recession fears wiped out all of the sector’s earlier gains. Weak investor demand further weighed on prices with holdings in gold-backed ETFs falling every week from mid-June to the end of the fiscal year.1 In addition to the pressures gold faced, silver prices were also weighed down by weak Chinese demand.

PDBA    Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
   Invesco Agriculture Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF (PDBA)

 

The Invesco Agriculture Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF (the “Fund”) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a combination of financial instruments that are economically linked to commodities drawn from the agriculture sector.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests, either directly or through a wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Subsidiary”), in a combination of three categories of investments: (i) exchange-traded futures contracts on underlying commodities (“Commodities Futures”); (ii) other instruments whose value is derived from or linked to price movements of underlying physical commodities, represented by exchange-traded futures contracts on commodity indices, commodity-linked notes, exchange-traded options on Commodities Futures, swaps on commodities and commodity-related forward contracts (“Commodity-Linked Instruments”); and (iii) cash, cash-like instruments or high-quality securities (collectively, “Collateral”). The Collateral may consist of (1) U.S. Government securities, such as bills, notes and bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury; (2) money market funds; and/or (3) corporate debt securities, such as commercial paper and other short-term unsecured promissory notes issued by businesses that are rated investment grade or determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality. Such Collateral is designed to provide liquidity, serve as margin or otherwise collateralize investments in the Commodities Futures and Commodity-Linked Instruments.

The Fund will not invest directly in physical commodities, Commodities Futures or Commodity-Linked Instruments. Instead, the Fund attempts to obtain investment returns that are highly correlated to the agriculture commodities markets by investing in these instruments indirectly through its Subsidiary. The Fund’s investment in the Subsidiary is expected to provide the Fund with exposure to Commodities Futures and Commodity-Linked Instruments in accordance with the limits of the federal tax laws, which limit the ability of investment companies like the Fund to invest directly in such investments. The Fund’s investment in the Subsidiary may not exceed 25% of the Fund’s total assets at each quarter-end of the Fund’s fiscal year. The Subsidiary operates under Cayman Islands law. It is wholly-owned and controlled by the Fund and advised by the Adviser. The Subsidiary has the same investment objective as the Fund and will follow the same general investment policies and restrictions, except that unlike the Fund, it may invest without limitation in Commodities Futures and Commodity-Linked Instruments.

The Subsidiary will invest in Commodities Futures (or gain exposure to Commodities Futures through the use of swaps) that generally are representative of the components of the DBIQ Diversified Agriculture Index Excess Return (the “Benchmark Index”), an index composed of futures contracts on 11 commodities drawn from the agriculture sector: Corn, Soybeans, Wheat, Kansas City Wheat, Sugar, Cocoa, Coffee, Cotton, Live

Cattle, Feeder Cattle, and Lean Hogs. Although the Subsidiary generally provides exposure to the components of the Benchmark Index, the Fund is not an “index tracking” ETF and instead seeks to exceed the performance of the Benchmark. Therefore, the Subsidiary may not seek exposure to all of the Benchmark Index’s components or in the same proportion as the Benchmark Index. The Subsidiary may invest in Commodities Futures (or gain exposure to such Commodities Futures through the use of swaps) that are not included in the Benchmark Index, but reference a commodity represented in the Benchmark Index by a different futures contract. At times, the Subsidiary also may invest in agriculture Commodities Futures outside the Benchmark Index, invest in Commodities Futures with expirations beyond those contained in the Benchmark Index or emphasize some agriculture commodities more than others.

The Subsidiary also invests a portion of its assets in Commodity-Linked Instruments to seek to increase its investment returns or hedge against declines in the value of its other investments. Although the Fund does not seek leveraged returns, investing in Commodity-Linked Instruments may have a leveraging effect on the Fund. The Commodity-Linked Instruments may be exchange-traded or traded over-the-counter (“OTC”).

During the fiscal period from the Fund’s inception (August 24, 2022) through October 31, 2022, on a market price basis, the Fund returned (3.57)%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned (3.41)%. During the same time period, the Benchmark Index returned (3.78)%. Additionally, the DBIQ Diversified Agriculture Index Total Return (“Total Return Benchmark Index”) returned (3.18)%. The Total Return Benchmark Index is similar to the Benchmark Index except that the Total Return Benchmark Index performance includes the return that would be generated by the Collateral. During the fiscal period, on a NAV basis, the Fund outperformed the Benchmark Index, although it underperformed the Total Return Benchmark Index primarily due to fees, operating expenses, and trading costs incurred by the Fund during the fiscal period.

During the same time period, the S&P GSCI Agriculture Index returned (0.02)%. The S&P GSCI Agriculture Index has been selected for its recognition in the marketplace because its performance comparison is a useful measure for investors as a broad representation of the agriculture sector.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal period ended October 31, 2022 included Kansas City Wheat contracts, Chicago Wheat contracts and Corn contracts. The largest detractors from the Fund’s returns were Coffee contracts and Cotton contracts.

Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate, and shares of the Fund (“Fund Shares”), when redeemed or sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See the current prospectus for more information. The adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or pay certain Fund expenses through August 31, 2024. According to the Fund’s current prospectus, the Fund’s expense ratio of 0.62% (0.59% after fee waiver) includes the unitary management fee of 0.59% and acquired fund fees and expenses of 0.03%. NAV and Market Price returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV and Market Price, respectively. The returns shown in the table above do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption or sale of Fund Shares. See invesco.com/ETFs to find the most recent month-end performance numbers.

Performance results for the indexes stated above are based upon a hypothetical investment in their respective constituent securities. The returns of an index do not represent Fund returns. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The indexes do not charge management fees or brokerage expenses, and no such fees or expenses were deducted from the hypothetical performance shown. In addition, the results actual investors might have achieved would have differed from those shown because of differences in the timing, amounts of their investments, and fees and expenses associated with an investment in the Fund.

EVMT    Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
   Invesco Electric Vehicle Metals Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF (EVMT)

 

The Invesco Electric Vehicle Metals Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF (the “Fund”) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a combination of financial instruments that are economically linked to the tradeable metals widely used in the production of an electric vehicle (currently, iron ore, copper, aluminum, nickel and cobalt).

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests, either directly or through a wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Subsidiary”), in a combination of four categories of investments: (i) exchange-traded futures contracts on underlying electric vehicle metal commodities (“Commodities Futures”); (ii) other instruments whose value is derived from or linked to price movements of underlying electric vehicle metal commodities. These other instruments consist of exchange-traded futures contracts on electric vehicle metal commodity indices, electric vehicle metal commodity-linked notes, exchange-traded options on Commodities Futures, swaps on electric vehicle metal commodities and electric vehicle metal commodity-related forward contracts (“Commodity-Linked Instruments”); (iii) investments related to or providing exposure to electric vehicle commodities. These investments include commodity-linked equity securities and commodity-linked exchange-traded notes (“ETNs”). These investments also include exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), and other investment companies (including U.S. registered open-end investment companies (i.e., mutual funds), as well as closed-end investment companies traded on U.S. exchanges, or exchange-traded non-U.S. investment companies traded on foreign exchanges) to the extent permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and ETFs that are not registered under the 1940 Act. Such investments may include affiliated funds and will be limited to percentages permitted by the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder. Any such investments will have a focus on electric vehicle metals commodities and/or electric vehicle businesses. These investments also include commodity pools that seek to track the value of certain metals, but no investment in a single commodity pool will exceed 25% of the Fund’s total assets (“Commodity-Related Assets”); and (iv) cash, cash-like instruments or high-quality securities (collectively, “Collateral”). The Collateral may consist of (1) U.S. Government securities, such as bills, notes and bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury; (2) money market funds; and/or (3) corporate debt securities, such as commercial paper and other short-term unsecured promissory notes issued by businesses that are rated investment grade or determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality. Such Collateral is designed to provide liquidity, serve as margin or otherwise collateralize investments in the Commodities Futures and Commodity-Linked Instruments.

While the Fund may invest directly in Commodity-Related Assets and Collateral, it will not invest directly in physical commodities, Commodities Futures or Commodity-Linked Instruments. Instead, the Fund attempts to obtain investment returns that are highly

correlated to the commodities markets by investing in these instruments indirectly through its Subsidiary. The Fund’s investment in the Subsidiary is expected to provide the Fund with exposure to Commodities Futures and Commodity-Linked Instruments in accordance with the limits of the federal tax laws, which limit the ability of investment companies like the Fund to invest directly in such investments. The Fund’s investment in the Subsidiary may not exceed 25% of the Fund’s total assets at each quarter-end of the Fund’s fiscal year. The Subsidiary operates under Cayman Islands law. It is wholly-owned and controlled by the Fund and advised by the Adviser. The Subsidiary has the same investment objective as the Fund and will follow the same general investment policies and restrictions, except that unlike the Fund, it may invest without limit in Commodities Futures and Commodity-Linked Instruments.

The Subsidiary will invest in Commodities Futures (or gain exposure to Commodities Futures through the use of swaps) that generally are representative of the components of the S&P GSCI Electric Vehicle Metals Index (the “Benchmark Index”), an index composed of futures contracts on the tradeable metals widely used in the production of an electric vehicle (currently, iron ore, copper, aluminum, nickel and cobalt). The Benchmark Index is calculated and maintained by S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (the “Benchmark Provider”). In accordance with the Benchmark Provider’s proprietary methodology, metals within the Benchmark Index are assigned weights that broadly reflect the relative usage of each metal within a representative electric vehicle, subject to adjustments for liquidity.

Although the Subsidiary generally provides exposure to the components of the Benchmark Index, the Fund is not an “index tracking” ETF and instead seeks to exceed the performance of the Benchmark Index. Therefore, the Subsidiary may not seek exposure to all of the Benchmark’s components or in the same proportion as the Benchmark Index. The Subsidiary may invest in Commodities Futures (or gain exposure to such Commodities Futures through the use of swaps) that are not included in the Benchmark Index, but reference a commodity represented in the Benchmark Index by a different futures contract. At times, the Subsidiary also may invest in Commodities Futures outside the Benchmark Index, invest in Commodities Futures with expirations beyond those contained in the Benchmark Index or emphasize some commodities more than others. In the event that a sufficient quantity of Commodities Futures on a particular Benchmark component are not available, the Subsidiary may purchase Commodities Futures on the highest correlated Benchmark Index component or other widely traded metal or may purchase Commodity-Related Assets to provide exposure to the Benchmark Index component.

The Subsidiary also invests a portion of its assets in Commodity-Linked Instruments to seek to increase its investment returns or hedge against declines in the value of its other investments.

Although the Fund does not seek leveraged returns, investing in Commodity-Linked Instruments may have a leveraging effect on the Fund. The Commodity Linked Instruments may be exchange-traded or traded over-the-counter (“OTC”).

During the fiscal period from the Fund’s inception (April 27, 2022) through October 31, 2022, on a market price basis, the Fund returned (32.09)%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned (31.50)%. During the same time period, the Benchmark Index returned (31.73)%. Additionally, the S&P GSCI Electric Vehicle Metals Total Return Index (“Total Return Benchmark Index”) returned (30.91)%. The Total Return Benchmark Index is

similar to the Benchmark Index except that the Total Return Benchmark Index performance includes the return that would be generated by the Collateral. During the fiscal period, on a NAV basis, the Fund outperformed the Benchmark Index, although it underperformed the Total Return Benchmark Index primarily due to fees, operating expenses, and trading costs incurred by the Fund during the fiscal period.

There were no positions that contributed to the Fund’s return for the fiscal period ended October 31, 2022. The largest detractors from the Fund’s returns were Nickel contracts and LME Copper contracts.

PDBC    Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
   Invesco Optimum Yield Diversified Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF (PDBC)

 

The Invesco Optimum Yield Diversified Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF (the “Fund”) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a combination of financial instruments that are economically linked to the world’s most heavily traded commodities. Commodities are assets that have tangible properties, such as oil, agricultural produce or raw metals.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests, either directly or through a wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Subsidiary”), in a combination of three categories of investments: (i) exchange traded futures contracts on underlying commodities (“Commodities Futures”); (ii) other instruments whose value is derived from or linked to price movements of underlying physical commodities, represented by exchange-traded futures contracts on commodity indices, commodity-linked notes, exchange-traded options on Commodities Futures, swaps on commodities and commodity-related forward contracts (collectively, these are “Commodity-Linked Instruments”); and (iii) cash, cash-like instruments or high-quality securities (collectively, “Collateral”). The Collateral may consist of (1) U.S. Government securities, such as bills, notes and bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury; (2) money market funds; and/or (3) corporate debt securities, such as commercial paper and other short-term unsecured promissory notes issued by businesses that are rated investment grade or determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality. Such Collateral is designed to provide liquidity, serve as margin or otherwise collateralize investments in the Commodities Futures and Commodity-Linked Instruments. Except as noted, references to the Fund’s investment strategies and risks include those of its Subsidiary.

While the Fund may invest directly in Commodity-Related Assets and Collateral, it may not invest directly in physical commodities, Commodities Futures or Commodity-Linked Instruments. Instead, the Fund attempts to obtain investment returns that are highly correlated to the commodities markets by investing in these instruments indirectly through its Subsidiary. The Fund’s investment in the Subsidiary is expected to provide the Fund with exposure to Commodities Futures and Commodity-Linked Instruments in accordance with the limits of the federal tax laws, which limit the ability of investment companies like the Fund to invest directly in such investments. The Fund’s investment in the Subsidiary may not exceed 25% of the Fund’s total assets at each quarter-end of the Fund’s fiscal year. The Subsidiary operates under Cayman Islands law. It is wholly-owned and controlled by the Fund and advised by Invesco Capital Management LLC. The Subsidiary has the same investment objective as the Fund and will follow the same general investment policies and restrictions, except that unlike the Fund, it may invest without limit in Commodities Futures and Commodity-Linked Instruments.

The Subsidiary will invest in Commodities Futures (or gain exposure to Commodities Futures through the use of swaps) that

generally are representative of the components of the DBIQ Optimum Yield Diversified Commodity Index Excess Return (the “Benchmark Index”), an index composed of futures contracts on 14 of the most heavily traded commodities across the energy, precious metals, industrial metals and agriculture sectors: aluminum, Brent crude oil, copper, corn, gold, New York Harbor Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel (“NY Harbor ULSD” previously referred to as Heating Oil), WTI crude oil, natural gas, “RBOB” gasoline, silver, soybeans, sugar, wheat and zinc. Although the Subsidiary generally provides exposure to the components of the Benchmark Index, the Fund is not an “index tracking” ETF and instead seeks to exceed the performance of the Benchmark Index. Therefore, the Subsidiary may not seek exposure to all of the Benchmark Index’s components or in the same proportion as the Benchmark Index. The Subsidiary may invest in Commodities Futures (or gain exposure to such Commodities Futures through the use of swaps) that are not included in the Benchmark Index, but reference a commodity represented in the Benchmark Index by a different futures contract. At times, it also may invest in Commodities Futures outside the Benchmark Index, invest in Commodities Futures with expirations beyond those contained in the Benchmark Index or emphasize some commodity sectors more than others.

The Subsidiary also invests a portion of its assets in Commodity- Linked Instruments to seek to increase its investment returns or hedge against declines in the value of its other investments.

Although the Fund does not seek leveraged returns, investing in Commodity-Linked Instruments may have a leveraging effect on the Fund. The Commodity-Linked Instruments may be exchange- traded or traded over-the-counter (“OTC”).

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022, on a market price basis, the Fund returned 18.40%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned 18.62%. During the same time period, the Benchmark Index returned 17.88%. Additionally, the DBIQ Optimum Yield Diversified Commodity Index Total Return (“Total Return Benchmark Index”) returned 19.46%. The Total Return Benchmark Index is similar to the Benchmark Index except that the Total Return Benchmark Index performance includes the return that would be generated by the Collateral. During the fiscal year, on a NAV basis, the Fund outperformed the Benchmark Index, although it underperformed the Total Return Benchmark Index primarily due to fees, operating expenses, and trading costs (including costs related to swap transactions) incurred by the Fund, which tend to compound during rising markets.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022 included the NY Harbor ULSD contracts, Brent Crude Oil contracts and Natural Gas contracts. The largest detractors from the Fund’s returns were COMEX Gold 100 Troy Ounces contracts, LME Copper contracts and Silver contracts.

(a)

(b) 

Based on average shares outstanding.

(c) 

The mean between the last bid and ask prices.

(d) 

Net asset value total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at the net asset value at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at net asset value during the period, and redemption at net asset value on the last day of the period. Net asset value total return includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and as such, the net asset value for financial reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset value and returns for shareholder transactions. Market price total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at the market price at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at market price during the period, and sale at the market price on the last day of the period. Total investment returns calculated for a period of less than one year are not annualized.

(e) 

The net asset value total return from Fund Inception (August 24, 2022, the first day of trading on the exchange) to October 31, 2022 was (3.41)%. The market price total return from Fund Inception to October 31, 2022 was (3.57)%.

(f) 

In addition to the fees and expenses which the Fund bears directly, the Fund indirectly bears a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the investment companies in which the Fund invests. Estimated investment companies’ expenses are not expenses that are incurred directly by the Fund. They are expenses that are incurred directly by the investment companies and are deducted from the value of the investment companies the Fund invests in. The effect of the estimated investment companies’ expenses that the Fund bears indirectly is included in the Fund’s total return.

(g) 

Annualized.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Invesco Actively Managed Exchange-Traded Commodity Fund Trust

October 31, 2022

NOTE 1–Organization

Invesco Actively Managed Exchange-Traded Commodity Fund Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is authorized to have multiple series of portfolios. Each portfolio (each, a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”) represents a separate series of the Trust. The Trust is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). This report includes the following Funds and their respective wholly-owned subsidiaries (each, a “Subsidiary”) organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands:

 

Full Name

  

Short Name

  

Subsidiary

Invesco Agriculture Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF (PDBA)    “Agriculture Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF”    Invesco PDBA Cayman Ltd.
Invesco Electric Vehicle Metals Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF (EVMT)    “Electric Vehicle Metals Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF”    Invesco Electric Vehicle Metals Commodity Strategy No K-1 Cayman Ltd.
Invesco Optimum Yield Diversified Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF (PDBC)    “Optimum Yield Diversified Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF”    Invesco Optimum Yield Diversified Commodity Strategy No K-1 Cayman Ltd.

The shares of the Funds are referred to herein as “Shares” or “Fund’s Shares.” Each Fund’s Shares are listed and traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market.

The market price of each Share may differ to some degree from a Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”). Unlike conventional mutual funds, each Fund issues and redeems Shares on a continuous basis, at NAV, only in a large specified number of Shares, each called a “Creation Unit.” Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in exchange for the deposit or delivery of cash. Except when aggregated in Creation Units by authorized participants (“APs”), the Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Funds.

Each Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation. Agriculture Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in financial instruments that provide economic exposure to the agriculture markets through investment in its Subsidiary. Electric Vehicle Metals Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in financial instruments that provide economic exposure to the metals markets through investment in its Subsidiary. Optimum Yield Diversified Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in financial instruments that provide economic exposure to the commodities markets through investment in its Subsidiary. Each Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in its Subsidiary.

NOTE 2–Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in preparation of their consolidated financial statements.

Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services–Investment Companies.

A.

Security Valuation - Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policies:

A security listed or traded on an exchange is generally valued at its trade price or official closing price that day as of the close of the exchange where the security is principally traded or, lacking any trades or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued using prices provided by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the daily settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. U.S. exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Non-U.S. exchange-traded options are valued at the final settlement price set by the exchange on which they trade. Options not listed on an exchange and swaps generally are valued using pricing provided from independent pricing services.

Securities of investment companies that are not exchange-traded (e.g., open-end mutual funds) are valued using such company’s end-of-business-day NAV per share.

Deposits, other obligations of U.S. and non-U.S. banks and financial institutions are valued at their daily account value. Fixed income securities (including convertible debt securities) generally are valued on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for

 

    26    

 

 

 

 


 

 

debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Securities with a demand feature exercisable within one to seven days are valued at par. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a Fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots, and their value may be adjusted accordingly. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts’) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the London world markets. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Invesco Capital Management LLC (the “Adviser”) may use various pricing services to obtain market quotations as well as fair value prices. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), closing market quotations may become not representative of market value in the Adviser’s judgment (“unreliable”). If, between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, a significant event occurs that makes the closing price of the security unreliable, the Adviser may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith in accordance with Board-approved policies and related Adviser procedures (“Valuation Procedures”). Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American depositary receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, the potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Total return swap agreements are valued on a daily basis in accordance with the agreements, using observable inputs, such as valuation indications provided by index providers, whenever available. Centrally cleared swap agreements are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the relevant exchange or clearinghouse.

Unlisted securities will be valued using prices provided by independent pricing services or by another method that the Adviser, in its judgment, believes better reflects the security’s fair value in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value exchange-traded equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices may be used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans, and unlisted equity securities.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued by the Adviser in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. If a fair value price provided by a pricing service is unreliable, the Adviser will fair value the security using the Valuation Procedures. Issuer-specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.

Each Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.

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, acts of terrorism, significant governmental actions or adverse investor sentiment generally and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the consolidated financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

The price a Fund could receive upon the sale of any investment may differ from the Adviser’s valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that are valued using a fair valuation technique. When fair valuation techniques are applied, the Adviser uses available information, including both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions, to determine a methodology that will result in a valuation that the Adviser believes approximates market value. Fund securities that are fair valued may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, and the degree of subjectivity in such decisions, a Fund could realize a greater or lesser than expected gain or loss upon the sale of the investment.

B.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income - Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are computed on the specific identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis from settlement date and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and

 

    27    

 

 

 

 


 

 

accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains, dividends and interest received by a Fund may give rise to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries. Tax conventions between certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate such taxes.

The Funds may periodically participate in litigation related to a Fund’s investments. As such, the Funds may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.

C.

Country Determination - For the purposes of presentation in the Consolidated Schedules of Investments, the Adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors may include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues, the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities and its “country of risk” as determined by a third party service provider, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted.

D.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - Each Fund declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, to its shareholders annually and records such dividends on the ex-dividend date. Generally, each Fund distributes net realized taxable capital gains, if any, annually in cash and records them on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions on a tax basis are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits, if any, are reported in each Fund’s consolidated financial statements as a tax return of capital at fiscal year-end.

E.

Federal Income Taxes - Each Fund intends to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to its shareholders. As such, the Funds will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized gains) that is distributed to the shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

Each Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed each Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

Each Subsidiary is classified as a controlled foreign corporation under Subchapter N of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, each Fund is required to increase its taxable income by its share of its Subsidiary’s income. Net investment losses of each Subsidiary cannot be deducted by each Fund in the current period nor carried forward to offset taxable income in future periods.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments for in-kind transactions, losses deferred due to wash sales, and passive foreign investment company adjustments, if any.

The Funds file U.S. federal tax returns and tax returns in certain other jurisdictions. Generally, a Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

F.

Expenses - Each Fund has agreed to pay an annual unitary management fee to the Adviser. Out of the unitary management fee, the Adviser has agreed to pay for substantially all expenses of the Funds, including the costs of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses, including proxy expenses (except for such proxies related to: (i) changes to the Investment Advisory Agreement, (ii) the election of any Board member who is an “interested person” of the Trust, or (iii) any other matters that directly benefit the Adviser).

Expenses of the Trust that are excluded from a Fund’s unitary management fee and are directly identifiable to a specific Fund are applied to that Fund. Expenses of the Trust that are excluded from a Fund’s unitary management fee and are not readily identifiable to a specific Fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative net assets of each Fund.

To the extent a Fund invests in other investment companies, the expenses shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the expenses of the Fund and do not include any expenses of the investment companies in which it invests. The effects of such investment companies’ expenses are included in the realized and unrealized gain or loss on the investments in the investment companies.

G.

Accounting Estimates - The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

    28    

 

 

 

 


 

 

All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In addition, the Funds monitor for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the consolidated financial statements are released to print.

H.

Indemnifications - Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Also, under each Subsidiary’s organizational documents, the directors and officers of the Subsidiary are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund and/or the Subsidiary, respectively. Each Board member who is not an “interested person” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust (each, an “Independent Trustee”) is also indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust pursuant to an Indemnification Agreement between such trustee and the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote.

I.

Futures Contracts - The Subsidiaries invest in commodity-linked futures contracts that generally are representative of the components of each Fund’s respective benchmark index. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specified underlying commodity or financial instrument for a specified price 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 at the futures commission merchant broker. During the period the 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 are received or made on commodity futures contracts that do not trade on the London Metals Exchange (the “LME”), depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as a receivable or payable on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For LME contracts, subsequent or variation margin payments are not made and the value of the contracts is presented as net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, each Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and each Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

For settlement of LME commodity futures contracts, cash is not transferred until the settled futures contracts expire. Net realized gains or losses on LME contracts which have been closed out but for which the contract has not yet expired are reflected as a receivable or payable on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk, leverage risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If a Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, each Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and may be required to continue to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts until the position expired or matured. As futures contracts approach expiration, they may be replaced by similar contracts that have a later expiration. This process is referred to as “rolling”. If the market for these contracts is in “contango,” meaning that the prices of futures contracts in the nearer months are lower than the price of contracts in the distant months, the sale of the near-term month contract would be at a lower price than the longer-term contract, resulting in a cost to “roll” the futures contract. The actual realization of a potential roll cost will depend on the difference in price of the near and distant contracts. In addition, each Fund may not “roll” futures contracts on a predefined schedule as they approach expiration; instead the Adviser may determine to roll to another futures contract (chosen from a list of tradable futures with expirations beyond those contained in the Benchmark Index) in an attempt to generate maximum yield. There can be no guarantee that such a strategy will produce the desired results.

J.

Swap Agreements - The Funds may enter into various swap transactions, including interest rate, total return, index, currency exchange rate and credit default swap contracts (“CDS”) for investment purposes (e.g., to gain exposure to commodities or commodity-related futures) or to manage interest rate, currency or credit risk. Such transactions are agreements between Counterparties. These agreements may contain, among other conditions, events of default and termination events, and various covenants and representations such as provisions that require each Fund to maintain a pre-determined level of net assets, and/or provide limits regarding the decline of each Fund’s NAV over specific periods of time. If each Fund were to trigger such provisions and have open derivative positions at that time, the Counterparty may be able to terminate such agreement and request immediate payment in an amount equal to the net liability positions, if any.

Interest rate, total return, index and currency exchange rate swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount, i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate or return of an underlying asset, in a particular foreign currency, or in a “basket” of securities or commodities representing a particular index.

Changes in the value of swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of the agreement are reflected as such on the Consolidated Statements of Assets

 

    29    

 

 

 

 


 

 

and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. The Funds accrue for the fixed payment stream and amortizes upfront payments, if any, on swap agreements on a daily basis with the net amount, recorded as a component of realized gain (loss) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of a swap agreement is recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Cash held as collateral is recorded as deposits with brokers on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, lack of liquidity and elements of credit, market, and counterparty risk in excess of amounts recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that a swap is difficult to sell or liquidate, the Counterparty does not honor its obligations under the agreement and unfavorable interest rates and market fluctuations. It is possible that developments in the swaps market, including potential government regulation, could adversely affect a Fund’s ability to terminate existing swap agreements or to realize amounts to be received under such agreements. Additionally, an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) includes credit related contingent features which allow Counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event that, for example, the Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the Counterparty.

K.

Other Risks

AP Concentration Risk. Only APs may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with each Fund. Each Fund has a limited number of institutions that may act as APs, and such APs have no obligation to submit creation or redemption orders. Consequently, there is no assurance that APs will establish or maintain an active trading market for the Shares. This risk may be heightened to the extent that securities held by each Fund are traded outside a collateralized settlement system. In that case, APs may be required to post collateral on certain trades on an agency basis (i.e., on behalf of other market participants), which only a limited number of APs may be able to do. In addition, to the extent that APs exit the business or are unable to proceed with creation and/or redemption orders with respect to each Fund and no other AP is able to step forward to create or redeem Creation Units, this may result in a significantly diminished trading market for Fund Shares, and Shares may be more likely to trade at a premium or discount to a Fund’s NAV and to face trading halts and/or delisting. Investments in non-U.S. securities, which may have lower trading volumes or could experience extended market closures or trading halts, may increase the risk that APs may not be able to effectively create or redeem Creation Units or the risk that the Shares may be halted and/or delisted.

Cash Transaction Risk. Most exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) generally make in-kind redemptions to avoid being taxed at the fund level on gains on the distributed portfolio securities. However, unlike most ETFs, each Fund currently intends to effect creations and redemptions principally for cash, rather than principally in-kind, because of the nature of the Fund’s investments. As such, each Fund may be required to sell portfolio securities to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. Therefore, a Fund may recognize a capital gain on these sales that might not have been incurred if the Fund had made a redemption in-kind. This may decrease the tax efficiency of each Fund compared to ETFs that utilize an in-kind redemption process and there may be a substantial difference in the after-tax rate of return between each Fund and conventional ETFs.

Commodity-Linked Derivative Risk. Investments linked to the prices of commodities may be considered speculative. Each Fund’s significant investment exposure to commodities may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. Therefore, the value of such instruments may be volatile and fluctuate widely based on a variety of macroeconomic factors or commodity-specific factors. At times, price fluctuations may be quick and significant and may not correlate to price movements in other asset classes, such as stocks, bonds and cash.

Commodity Pool Risk. Each Subsidiary’s investments in futures contracts has caused it and the Fund to be deemed commodity pools, thereby subjecting each of the Subsidiaries and the Funds to regulation under the Commodity Exchange Act and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) rules. The Adviser is registered as a commodity pool operator (“CPO”) and as a commodity trading advisor (“CTA”), and will manage both the Funds and the Subsidiaries in accordance with CFTC rules, as well as the rules that apply to registered investment companies. Registration as a CPO or CTA subjects the Adviser to additional laws, regulations and enforcement policies, which could increase compliance costs and may affect the operations and financial performance of the Funds or the Subsidiaries. Registration as a commodity pool may have negative effects on the ability of the Funds or the Subsidiaries to engage in its planned investment program. Additionally, the Subsidiaries’ positions in futures contracts may have to be liquidated at disadvantageous times or prices to prevent the Funds from exceeding any applicable position limits established by the CFTC. Such actions may subject the Funds to substantial losses.

Futures Contracts Risk. Risks of futures contracts include: (i) an imperfect correlation between the value of the futures contract and the underlying commodity or commodity index; (ii) possible lack of a liquid secondary market; (iii) the inability to close a futures contract when desired; (iv) losses caused by unanticipated market movements, which may be unlimited; (v) an obligation for the Fund to make daily cash payments to maintain its required margin, particularly at times when the Fund may have insufficient cash or must sell securities to meet those margin requirements; (vi) the possibility that a failure to close a position may result in the Fund receiving an illiquid commodity; and (vii) unfavorable execution prices from rapid selling.

Leverage Risk. The Subsidiaries may invest in portfolio investments that can give rise to a form of economic leverage. Because derivatives may have a component of economic leverage, adverse changes in the value or level of the underlying

 

    30    

 

 

 

 


 

 

asset can result in the magnification of gains or losses on the investment held by a Fund, and may potentially result in a loss greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. The use of leverage may cause a Fund to liquidate portfolio positions to satisfy its obligations or to meet any required asset segregation requirements when it may not be advantageous for a Fund to do so.

Liquidity Risk. Liquidity risk exists when a particular investment is difficult to purchase or sell. If a Fund invests in illiquid securities or current portfolio securities become illiquid, it may reduce the returns of the Fund because the Fund may be unable to sell the illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price.

Management Risk. The Funds are subject to management risk because they are actively managed portfolios. In managing a Fund’s portfolio securities, the Adviser applies investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions, but there can be no guarantee that these will produce the desired results.

Non-Diversified Fund Risk. Because each Fund (except Optimum Yield Diversified Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF) is non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than can a diversified fund, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in Share price than would occur in a diversified fund. This may increase a Fund’s volatility and cause the performance of a relatively small number of issuers to have a greater impact on a Fund’s performance.

Market Risk. The Funds’ holdings are subject to market fluctuations. You should anticipate that the value of the Shares will decline more or less, in correlation with any decline in value of the holdings in a Fund’s portfolio. Additionally, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or other events could result in increased premiums or discounts to each Fund’s NAV.

Pooled Investment Vehicle Risk. The Funds face the risk that a pooled investment vehicle will not achieve its investment objective. The Funds also are subject to the risks of the underlying commodities in which the pooled vehicles invest. As a shareholder in such a vehicle, the Funds will incur duplicative expenses, bearing its share of that vehicle’s expenses while also paying its own advisory and administrative fees. In addition, the Funds will incur brokerage costs when purchasing and selling shares of pooled investment vehicles.

Subsidiary Investment Risk. By investing in its Subsidiary, each Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with its respective Subsidiary’s investments. Each Subsidiary is not registered under the 1940 Act; therefore each Fund will not receive all of the protections offered to investors in registered investment companies. Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands could result in the inability of a Fund and/or its Subsidiary to operate as intended, which may negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders.

Tax Risk. To qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”), the Funds must meet certain requirements concerning the source of its income. Each Fund’s investment in its respective Subsidiary is intended to provide exposure to commodities in a manner consistent with the “qualifying income” requirement applicable to RICs. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has ceased issuing private revenue rulings regarding whether the use of subsidiaries by investment companies to invest in commodity-linked instruments constitutes qualifying income. If the IRS determines that this source of income is not “qualifying income,” the Funds may cease to qualify as a RIC. Failure to qualify as a RIC could subject the Funds to adverse tax consequences, including a federal income tax on their net income at regular corporate rates, as well as a tax to shareholders on such income when distributed as an ordinary dividend.

Valuation Risk. Financial information related to securities of non-U.S. issuers may be less reliable than information related to securities of U.S. issuers, which may make it difficult to obtain a current price for a non-U.S. security held by a Fund. In certain circumstances, market quotations may not be readily available for some Fund securities, and those securities may be fair valued. The value established for a security through fair valuation may be different from what would be produced if the security had been valued using market quotations. Fund securities that are valued using techniques other than market quotations, including “fair valued” securities, may be subject to greater fluctuations in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. In addition, there is no assurance that a Fund could sell a portfolio security for the value established for it at any time, and it is possible that a Fund would incur a loss because a security is sold at a discount to its established value.

COVID-19 Risk. The COVID-19 strain of coronavirus has resulted in instances of market closures and dislocations, extreme volatility, liquidity constraints and increased trading costs. Efforts to contain its spread have resulted in travel restrictions, disruptions of healthcare systems, business operations (including business closures) and supply chains, layoffs, lower consumer demand and employee availability, and defaults and credit downgrades, among other significant economic impacts that have disrupted global economic activity across many industries. Such economic impacts may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks locally or globally and cause general concern and uncertainty. The full economic impact and ongoing effects of COVID-19 (or other future epidemics or pandemics) at the macro-level and on individual businesses are unpredictable and may result in significant and prolonged effects on the Funds’ performance.

NOTE 3–Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Agreements

The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser on behalf of each Fund, pursuant to which the Adviser has overall responsibility for the selection and ongoing monitoring of the Funds’ investments, managing the Funds’ business affairs and providing certain clerical, bookkeeping and other administrative services.

Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, each Fund accrues daily and pays monthly to the Adviser an annual unitary management fee. Out of the unitary management fee, the Adviser has agreed to pay for substantially all expenses of the Funds, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses, including proxy expenses (except for such proxies related to: (i) changes to the Investment Advisory Agreement, (ii) the election of any Board member who is an “interested person” of the Trust, or (iii) any other matters that directly benefit the Adviser). The unitary management fee is paid by each Fund to the Adviser at the following annual rates:

 

     Unitary Management Fees
     (as a % of average daily net assets)
Agriculture Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF    0.59%
Electric Vehicle Metals Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF    0.59%
Optimum Yield Diversified Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF    0.59%

Through at least August 31, 2024, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive the management fee payable by each Fund in an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) 100% of the net advisory fees earned by the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser that are attributable to the Fund’s investments in money market funds that are managed by affiliates of the Adviser and other funds (including ETFs) managed by the Adviser or affiliates of the Adviser or (ii) the management fee available to be waived. There is no guarantee that the Adviser will extend the waiver of these fees past that date.

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022, the Adviser waived fees for each Fund in the following amounts:

 

Agriculture Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF*    $ 3,382  
Electric Vehicle Metals Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF**      15,421  
Optimum Yield Diversified Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF      3,154,734  

 

*

For the period August 22, 2022 (commencement of investment operations) through October 31, 2022.

**

For the period April 25, 2022 (commencement of investment operations) through October 31, 2022.

The Trust has entered into a Distribution Agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), which serves as the distributor of Creation Units for each Fund. The Distributor does not maintain a secondary market in the Shares. The Funds are not charged any fees pursuant to the Distribution Agreement. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Adviser.

The Trust has entered into service agreements whereby The Bank of New York Mellon, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, serves as the administrator, custodian, fund accountant and transfer agent for each Fund.

NOTE 4–Additional Valuation Information

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. 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. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods 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 Adviser’s 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 following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of October 31, 2022. The level 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

 

    32    

 

 

 

 


 

 

uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the consolidated financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 5–Derivative Investments

The Funds may enter into an ISDA Master Agreement under which a Fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.

For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

NOTE 8–Reclassification of Permanent Differences

Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of income from the Subsidiary, amounts were reclassified between undistributed net investment income (loss), undistributed net realized gain (loss) and Shares of beneficial interest. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets of each Fund. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022, the reclassifications were as follows:

 

    Undistributed Net   Undistributed Net   Shares of
    Investment Income   Realized Gain (Loss)   Beneficial Interest

NOTE 9–Trustees’ and Officer’s Fees

The Adviser, as a result of each Fund’s unitary management fee, pays remuneration to the Independent Trustees and an Officer of the Trust on behalf of the Funds. The Trustee who is an “interested person” of the Trust does not receive any Trustees’ fees.

The Trust has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, each Independent Trustee who has executed a Deferred Fee Agreement (a “Participating Trustee”) may defer receipt of all or a portion of their compensation (“Deferral Fees”). Such Deferral Fees are deemed to be invested in select Invesco ETFs. The Deferral Fees payable to a Participating Trustee are valued as of the date such Deferral Fees would have been paid to a Participating Trustee. The value increases with contributions or with increases in the value of the Shares selected, and the value decreases with distributions or with declines in the value of the Shares selected. Obligations under the Plan represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Funds.

NOTE 10–Capital

Shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in Creation Units consisting of a specified number of Shares as set forth in each Fund’s prospectus. Only APs are permitted to purchase or redeem Creation Units from the Funds. Unlike most ETFs, the Funds currently effect creations and redemptions principally in exchange for the deposit or delivery of cash, rather than principally in exchange for the deposit or delivery of a basket of securities (“Deposit Securities”) because of the nature of the Funds’ investments. If an in-kind transaction is permitted, there will be a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the NAV per Share of a Fund on the transaction date. However, cash in an amount equivalent to the value of certain securities may be substituted for any otherwise permitted in-kind transaction, generally when the securities are not available in sufficient quantity for delivery, not eligible for trading by the AP or as a result of other market circumstances.

To the extent that the Funds permit transactions in exchange for Deposit Securities, each Fund may issue Shares in advance of receipt of Deposit Securities subject to various conditions, including a requirement to maintain on deposit with the Trust cash at least equal to 105% of the market value of the missing Deposit Securities. In accordance with the Trust’s Participant Agreement, Creation Units will be issued to an AP, notwithstanding the fact that the corresponding Deposit Securities have not been received in part or in whole, in reliance on the undertaking of the AP to deliver the missing Deposit Securities as soon as possible, which undertaking shall be secured by the AP’s delivery and maintenance of collateral consisting of cash in the form of U.S. dollars in

immediately available funds having a value (marked-to-market daily) at least equal to 105%, which the Adviser may change from time to time, of the value of the missing Deposit Securities.

Certain transaction fees may be charged by the Funds for creations and redemptions, which are treated as increases in capital.

Transactions in each Fund’s Shares are disclosed in detail in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Invesco Actively Managed Exchange-Traded Commodity Fund Trust and Shareholders of Invesco Agriculture Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF, Invesco Electric Vehicle Metals Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF and Invesco Optimum Yield Diversified Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF

Opinions on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedules of investments, of each of the funds listed in the table below and each of their subsidiaries (constituting Invesco Actively Managed Exchange-Traded Commodity Fund Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of October 31, 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations and of changes in net assets for each of the periods indicated in the table below, including the related notes, and the consolidated financial highlights for each of periods indicated in the table below (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of October 31, 2022, the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets, and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated in the table below, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Invesco Agriculture Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF (1)
Invesco Electric Vehicle Metals Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF (2)
Invesco Optimum Yield Diversified Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF (3)

(1) Consolidated statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the consolidated financial highlights for the period August 22, 2022 (commencement of investment operations) through October 31, 2022

(2) Consolidated statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the consolidated financial highlights for the period April 25, 2022 (commencement of investment operations) through October 31, 2022

(3) Consolidated statement of operations for the year ended October 31, 2022, consolidated statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2022 and the consolidated financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2022

Basis for Opinions

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ consolidated financial statements 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 Funds 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 of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2022 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses

Example

As a shareholder of a Fund of the Invesco Actively Managed Exchange-Traded Commodity Fund Trust, you incur a unitary management fee. In addition to the unitary management fee, a shareholder may pay distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses, including proxy expenses (except for such proxies related to: (i) changes to the Investment Advisory Agreement, (ii) the election of any Board member who is an “interested person” of the Trust, or (iii) any other matters that directly benefit the Adviser). The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period May 1, 2022 through October 31, 2022.

In addition to the fees and expenses which the Funds bear directly, the Funds indirectly bear a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the investment companies in which the Funds invests. The amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Funds will vary because the investment companies have varied expenses and fee levels and the Funds may own different proportions of the investment companies at different times. Estimated investment companies’ expenses are not expenses that are incurred directly by the Funds. They are expenses that are incurred directly by the investment companies and are deducted from the value of the investment companies the Funds invest in. The effect of the estimated investment companies’ expenses that the Funds bear indirectly is included in the Funds’ total return.

Actual Expenses

The first line in the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line in the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed annualized rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges and brokerage commissions. Therefore, the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, expenses shown in the table do not include the expenses of the underlying funds, which are borne indirectly by a Fund. If transaction costs and indirect expenses were included, your costs would have been higher.

(1) 

Expenses are calculated using the annualized expense ratio, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six-month period ended October 31, 2022. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the Fund’s annualized expense ratio by the average account value for the period, then multiplying the result by 184/365. Expense ratios for the most recent six-month period may differ from expense ratios based on the annualized data in the Consolidated Financial Highlights.

(2) 

The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period August 22, 2022 (commencement of investment operations) through October 31, 2022, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.

(3) 

Expenses are calculated using the annualized expense ratio, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the period August 22, 2022 (commencement of investment operations) to October 31, 2022. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the Fund’s annualized expense ratio by the average account value for the period, then multiplying the result by 71/365. Hypothetical expenses are calculated by multiplying the Fund’s annualized expense ratio by the average account value for the period, then multiplying the result by 184/365.

Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts

At a meeting held on June 21, 2022, the Board of Trustees of the Invesco Actively Managed Exchange-Traded Commodity Fund Trust (the “Trust”), including the Independent Trustees, approved the Investment Advisory Agreement between Invesco Capital Management LLC (the “Adviser”) and the Trust for Invesco Agriculture Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF (the “Fund”).

The Trustees reviewed information provided by the Adviser describing: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, (ii) the proposed unitary advisory fee for the Fund and comparisons to amounts paid by other comparable registered investment companies, (iii) the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the Fund grows and whether the fee levels reflect any possible economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders, and (iv) any further benefits to be realized by the Adviser or its affiliates from the Adviser’s relationship with the Fund.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser’s services, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the functions to be performed by the Adviser for the Fund, including the identity of the persons who will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund, and they considered the quality of services provided by the Adviser to other exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). The Trustees considered information regarding the Fund’s investment objective, strategies and process. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s portfolio managers also manage other ETFs on behalf of the Adviser that are overseen by the Board and that the Board is familiar with the background and experience of the Fund’s portfolio managers. The Trustees also noted other information the Board received and considered at its March 15, 2022 and April 6, 2022 meetings describing the Adviser’s current organization and staffing, including operational support provided by the Adviser’s parent organization, Invesco Ltd. The Trustees reviewed information related to the Adviser’s portfolio transaction policies and procedures.

The Trustees considered the services to be provided by the Adviser in its oversight of the Fund’s administrator, custodian and transfer agent. The Trustees noted the significant amount of time, effort and resources that had been devoted to this oversight function for the other ETFs managed by the Adviser and that was expected to be provided for the Fund. The Trustees also noted that, unlike most of the other ETFs for which the Adviser serves as investment adviser, the Fund is not designed to track the performance of an index, and investment decisions are the primary responsibility of the Adviser.

Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser to the Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement were expected to be appropriate and reasonable.

Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Trustees reviewed and discussed the information provided by the Adviser on the Fund’s proposed unitary advisory fee, as compared to information compiled by the Adviser from Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”) databases on the median net expense ratios of comparable passive ETFs and Adviser-identified select peer funds. The Trustees noted that the Lipper fee data indicated that the Fund did not have open-end (non-ETF) index peer funds or open-end (non-ETF) actively managed peer funds. The Trustees noted that the proposed annual advisory fee to be charged to the Fund was a unitary fee, and that the Adviser has agreed to pay all other operating expenses of the Fund except for brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, litigation expenses, costs incurred in connection with proxies (except certain proxies) and other extraordinary expenses. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s proposed unitary advisory fee was lower than the median net expense ratio of its Lipper ETF peer group that consisted of five funds and lower than the median net expense ratio of its select peer group that consisted of three funds.

Based on all of the information provided, the Board concluded that the Fund’s proposed unitary advisory fee was reasonable and appropriate in light of the administrative, operational and management oversight services to be provided by the Adviser and the related costs in providing such services.

In conjunction with their review of the unitary advisory fee, the Trustees considered that the Adviser did not provide a profitability analysis for the Adviser in managing the Fund because the Fund had not yet commenced operations. However, the Trustees noted other information the Board received and considered at its March 15, 2022 and April 6, 2022 meetings regarding the Adviser’s overall profitability from its relationship with other ETFs for which it serves as investment adviser.

Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. The Trustees reviewed the information provided by the Adviser as to the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees noted that any reduction in fixed costs associated with the management of the Fund would be enjoyed by the Adviser, but a unitary advisory fee provides a level of certainty in expenses for

the Fund. The Trustees considered whether the proposed unitary advisory fee rate for the Fund is reasonable in relation to the proposed services and product strategy of the Fund, and they concluded that the unitary advisory fee was reasonable and appropriate.

Fall-Out Benefits. The Trustees considered that the Adviser identified no additional benefits that it will receive from its relationship with the Fund, and noted that the Adviser will not be a party to any soft dollar, commission recapture or directed brokerage arrangements with respect to the Fund. The Trustees also considered benefits to be received by affiliates of the Adviser that may be directly or indirectly attributed to the Adviser’s relationship with the Fund, including brokerage fees and advisory fees for affiliated money market cash management vehicles. The Trustees also considered that Invesco Distributors, Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser, will serve as the Fund’s distributor and will be paid a distribution fee by the Adviser. The Board concluded that the Fund’s unitary advisory fee was reasonable, taking into account any ancillary benefits to be received by affiliates of the Adviser.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement for the Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board’s analysis.
