Invesco DB Oil Fund

Invesco DB Oil Fund is a U.S.-listed commodity ETF structured as a Delaware statutory trust series that gives investors exposure to crude oil futures rather than physical oil. The fund seeks to track the DBIQ Optimum Yield Crude Oil Index Excess Return, using exchange-traded futures on West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil plus collateral income from Treasury bills and money market instruments.
