The PowerShares DB Oil Fund seeks to track changes, whether positive or negative, in the level of the DBIQ Optimum Yield Crude Oil Index Excess Return™ ("DB Crude Oil Index" or the "Index") plus the interest income from the Fund’s holdings of US Treasury securities less the Fund’s expenses. DB Commodity Services LLC serves as the Managing Owner of the Fund. The Fund is designed for investors who want a cost-effective and convenient way to invest in commodity futures. The Index is a rules-based index composed of futures contracts on light sweet crude oil (WTI). You cannot invest directly in the Index.
This Fund is not suitable for all investors due to the speculative nature of an investment based upon the Fund’s trading which takes place in very volatile markets. Because an investment in futures contracts is volatile, such frequency in the movement in market prices of the underlying futures contracts could cause large losses. Please see "Important Considerations" and the Prospectus for additional risk disclosures. |

| Index history has certain inherent limitations and does not represent actual trading performance or returns of the Fund. Index history does not represent trades that have actually been executed and therefore may under or over compensate for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as illiquidity. No representation is being made that the Fund will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to the Index history. |
| The Fund’s exchange listing date: Jan. 5, 2007. Unless otherwise noted, historical information of all displayed indexes is based on this date. |
| The Fund seeks to track the excess return version of the Index (DBCMOCLE). Because the Fund collateralizes its futures positions with positions in 3-month U.S. Treasuries, the results of the total return version of the Index (DBCMOCLT) are displayed. Please see http://www.dbxus.com for current DBOLIX level, Indicative intra-day NAV, and last end-of-day NAV. |
Market returns are based on the midpoint of the bid/ask spread at 4 p.m. ET and do not represent the returns an investor would receive if shares were traded at other times. Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate, and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than performance data quoted.

The Fund is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. An investor may lose all or substantially all of an investment in the Fund.
The Fund is not a mutual fund or any other type of Investment Company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and is not subject to regulation thereunder.
This material must be accompanied or preceded by a prospectus. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.
