The risks most specific to Invesco CurrencyShares Euro Trust

  • The value of the Shares relates directly to the value of the euro held by the Trust. Fluctuations in the price of the euro could materially and adversely affect the value of the Shares

    The value of the Shares depends directly on fluctuations in the price of the euro held by the Trust.

  • If interest earned by the Trust does not exceed the Trust’s expenses, the Trustee will withdraw euro from the Trust to pay these excess expenses, which will reduce the amount of euro represented by each Share on an ongoing basis and may result in adverse tax consequences for Shareholders

  • The interest rate paid by the Depository, if any, may not be the best rate available. If the Sponsor determines that the interest rate is inadequate, then its sole recourse is to remove the Depository and terminate the Deposit Accounts

    Shareholders lack deposit insurance from the FDIC or England's Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

  • INSOLVENCY OR TERMINATION OF THE DEPOSITORY OR TRUST

    Insolvency of the Depository could result in claims delays and recovery costs for euro held in the Deposit Accounts.

  • The License Agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon may be terminated by The Bank of New York Mellon in the event of a material breach. Termination of the License Agreement might lead to early termination and liquidation of the Trust

    Termination of the License Agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon could lead to early liquidation of the Trust.

  • The Depository owes no fiduciary duties to the Trust or the Shareholders, is not required to act in their best interest and could resign or be removed by the Sponsor, which would trigger early termination of the Trust

    The Depository owes no fiduciary duties to the Trust and can resign upon 90 days' notice, triggering termination.
