The PowerShares DB commodity and currency funds (eleven in total) provide their returns by holding US T-Bills and exchange traded futures contracts. The IRS requires these funds to be marked to market at the end of each year, at which time investors are apportioned their pro rata shares of gains or losses.
The 2009 tax information for our eleven funds will available on the web and we anticipate that they will be mailed to investors the last two weeks of February 2010. The toll-free numbers for our funds are below, and investors can use a turbo-tax download from our website at:
