PowerShares continues to lead the intelligent ETF revolution by providing institutional caliber products that seek to replicate enhanced indexes. PowerShares DB commodity and currency funds provide investors cost-effective and convenient access to the global commodity and currency markets through some of the more sophisticated rules-based commodity and currency indexes ever created.
The PowerShares DB commodity funds provide systematic access to some of the world's most important commodities by seeking to replicate rules-based indexes composed of futures contracts that trade on some of the most liquid and deep commodity markets in the world. Furthermore, the commodity indexes on which the funds are based employ "Optimum Yield™", which is a sophisticated rules-based methodology that seeks to minimize the negative effects of rolling futures when a market is in "contango" (that is, when the next-to-expire contract is trading at a lower price than contracts expiring in later months) and maximize the positive effects of rolling futures when a market is "backwardated" (that is, when the next-to-expire contract is trading at a higher price than contracts expiring in later months).
The PowerShares DB G10 Currency Harvest Fund utilizes the G10 currency universe and is designed to exploit the tendency for currencies associated with higher interest rates to yield greater returns than currencies associated with lower interest rates. PowerShares DB US Dollar Bullish and Bearish Funds are based on indexes composed of USDX® futures contracts designed to replicate the performance of being long or short, respectively, the U.S. Dollar against the Euro, Japanese Yen, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Swedish Krona and Swiss Franc.
