(to Prospectus dated August 27, 2019)
INVESCO DB MULTI-SECTOR COMMODITY TRUST
INVESCO DB SILVER FUND
35,800,000 Common Units of Beneficial Interest
This Prospectus Supplement No. 2 (“Supplement No. 2”) supplements and amends the Prospectus dated August 27, 2019 (the “Prospectus”), as previously supplemented.
Effective immediately, the following is added as the first bullet point in the “Summary Information – Risk Factors” section on page 2 of the Prospectus:
| • | The novel coronavirus(“COVID-19”) has disrupted the global economy, causing high unemployment rates, illnesses and deaths, travel restrictions, and government emergency actions. The extent of the impact ofCOVID-19 is not fully known at this time and may adversely affect the Fund’s performance. |
In addition, the following disclosure is added to the beginning of the “Risk Factors – Market Risks” section on page 12 of the Prospectus:
Risk that theCOVID-19 Pandemic Will Cause Economic Turmoil.
An outbreak of a novel and highly contagious form of coronavirus,COVID-19, has spread to many countries throughout the world including the United States. The World Health Organization has declared the outbreak to be a public health emergency of international concern, and the U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary has declared it a public health emergency in the United States.
The impact of the outbreak ofCOVID-19 has been extensive in many aspects of society. The outbreak has resulted in numerous deaths, adversely impacted global commercial activity, and led to significant uncertainty and disruptions in the global financial markets and the economies of nations where the coronavirus disease has arisen. Many countries have reacted by instituting quarantines, prohibitions on travel and the closure of offices, businesses, schools, retail stores and other public venues. Businesses are also implementing similar precautionary measures. Such measures, as well as the general uncertainty surrounding the dangers and impact ofCOVID-19, are creating significant disruption in supply chains and economic activity. Consumer, corporate and financial confidence is being materially adversely affected by this outbreak. Such erosion of confidence may lead to or extend to a localized or global economic downturn. Such health crisis could exacerbate political, social, and economic risks and result in significant breakdowns, delays, and other disruptions to the economy, with potential corresponding results on the performance of the Fund and its investments.
This outbreak ofCOVID-19 (and any future outbreaks of any other epidemics or pandemics) has led (and may continue to lead) to significant uncertainty, breakdowns delays and other disruptions in the global financial markets and the economies of nations where theCOVID-19 has arisen and may in the future arise, and may result in adverse impacts on the global economy in general, with potential corresponding results on the performance of the Fund. The global impact of this outbreak is rapidly evolving, and it is impossible to predict the scope of this outbreak or the impact it may have on the global economy or the global financial markets. TheCOVID-19 outbreak has already led to certain governmental interventions that were implemented on an “emergency” basis, suddenly and substantially eliminating market participants’ ability to continue to implement certain strategies or manage the risk of their outstanding positions. No assurances can be made regarding the policies that may be adopted by the Federal Reserve, the federal government (including regulatory agencies), any state government, or any foreign government as a result of the outbreak or market volatility. In response to theCOVID-19 outbreak, most of the Managing Partner’s personnel is working remotely and travel is restricted. Although the Managing Partner has implemented its business continuity plan to permit personnel to effectively work remotely, there is no assurance that this will work effectively at all times.
This outbreak ofCOVID-19, or any future epidemic or pandemic similar toCOVID-19, SARS, H1N1/09 flu or MERS, could have a significant adverse impact on the Fund and its investments, could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to fulfill its investment objectives, and could result in significant losses to the Fund. The extent of the impact of any outbreak on the performance of the Fund and its investments depend on many factors, including the duration and scope of such outbreak, the development and distribution of treatments and vaccines for viruses such asCOVID-19, the extent of its disruption to important global, regional and local supply chains and economic markets, and the impact of such outbreak on overall supply and demand, investor liquidity, consumer confidence and levels of economic activity, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
