Invesco DB US Dollar Index Bearish Fund reported a net loss of $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared with a profit a year earlier. Net asset value per share slipped from $18.23 to $18.00, a total return of -1.26% at both NAV and market price.
The loss was driven by $3.35 million of realized and unrealized losses on short currency futures linked to the ICE U.S. Dollar Index, partially offset by $1.25 million of interest and dividend income, mainly from affiliated money market funds. Total assets rose to $143.2 million, with 7,950,000 shares outstanding as new creations exceeded redemptions.
The fund continued to invest almost all equity in an affiliated government money market portfolio and maintained a large short futures position with notional exposure of about $142.1 million. A one-day 99% Value at Risk measure was about $1.23 million, highlighting sensitivity to moves in the U.S. dollar versus the underlying currencies.
Invesco DB US Dollar Index Bearish Fund is a Delaware statutory trust series that seeks to track the Deutsche Bank Short USD Currency Portfolio Index–Excess by holding short futures on the ICE U.S. Dollar Index (DX Contracts). The strategy aims to benefit when the U.S. dollar falls against six major currencies: the Euro, Japanese Yen, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Swedish Krona and Swiss Franc.
The Fund posts U.S. Treasury bills, money market mutual funds and short‑term Treasury ETFs as collateral, and its total return also reflects interest and dividend income from these holdings, less expenses. It charges a management fee of 0.75% per year on daily NAV, with affiliated fund fees effectively waived. Market value of common units held by non‑affiliates was $148,522,000 as of the most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and 7,350,040 units were outstanding as of January 31, 2026.
Key risks include the theoretical possibility of unlimited loss from short futures if the dollar rises sharply, high futures volatility, tracking error versus the Index, liquidity constraints, regulatory changes, counterparty and clearing risks, and significant tax complexity. Geopolitical events, sanctions, trade disruptions and market interventions can all increase volatility and materially affect performance.
