The PowerShares DB Commodity Double Long Exchange Traded Note (Symbol: DYY), PowerShares DB Commodity Long Exchange Traded Note (Symbol: DPU), PowerShares DB Commodity Short Exchange Traded Note (Symbol: DDP) and PowerShares DB Commodity Double Short Exchange Traded Note (Symbol: DEE) (collectively, the "PowerShares DB Commodity ETNs") are the first United States exchange traded products that provide investors with a cost-effective and convenient way to take a long, short or leveraged view on the performance of a broad-based commodity index.
All of the PowerShares DB Commodity ETNs are based on a total return version of the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index (the "Index") which is designed to reflect the performance of certain wheat, corn, light sweet crude oil, heating oil, gold and aluminum futures contracts plus the returns from investing in 3 month United States Treasury bills. The Long and Double Long ETNs are based on the Optimum Yield version of the Index and the Short and Double Short ETNs are based on the standard version of the Index. The Optimum Yield version of the Index attempts to minimize the negative effects of contango and maximize the positive effects of backwardation by applying flexible roll rules to pick a new futures contract when a contract expires. The standard version of the Index, which does not attempt to minimize the negative effects of contango and maximize the positive effects of backwardation, uses static roll rules that dictate that an expiring futures contract must be replaced with a contract having a pre-defined expiration date.
Investors can buy and sell PowerShares DB Commodity ETNs at market price on the NYSE Arca exchange or receive a cash payment at the scheduled maturity or early redemption based on the performance of the index less investor fees. Investors may redeem PowerShares DB Commodity ETNs in blocks of no less than 200,000 securities and integral multiples of 50,000 securities thereafter, subject to the procedures described in the pricing supplement which include a fee of up to $0.03 per security.
