Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks Invesco CurrencyShares British Pound Sterling Trust names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Mar 2, 2026: 23 risks under these headings, as written.4

  • You should consider carefully the risks described below before making an investment decision. You should also refer to the other information included in this report, including the Trust’s financial statements and the related notes.
  • The value of the Shares relates directly to the value of the British Pound Sterling held by the Trust. Fluctuations in the price of the British Pound Sterling could materially and adversely affect the value of the Shares.
  • The British Pound Sterling/USD exchange rate, like foreign exchange rates in general, can be volatile and difficult to predict. This volatility could materially and adversely affect the performance of the Shares.
  • If interest earned by the Trust does not exceed the Trust’s expenses, the Trustee will withdraw British Pounds Sterling from the Trust to pay these excess expenses, which will reduce the amount of British Pounds Sterling 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.
  • If the Trust incurs expenses in USD, the Trust would be required to sell British Pounds Sterling to pay these expenses. The sale of the Trust’s British Pounds Sterling to pay expenses in USD at a time of low British Pound Sterling prices could adversely affect the value of the Shares.
  • The Shares may trade at a price which is at, above, or below the NAV per Share.
  • Disruptions in the ability to create and redeem Baskets may adversely impact the price of the Shares.
  • Substantial sales of British Pounds Sterling by the official sector could adversely affect an investment in the Shares.
  • International Armed Conflicts May Result in Volatility in Currency Prices that Could Adversely Affect the Fund's Performance.
  • Changes to United States tariff and trade policies may increase the volatility of foreign exchange rates. This volatility could materially and adversely affect the performance of the Shares.
  • The Deposit Accounts are not entitled to payment at any office of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. located in the United States.
The other 11 risks
  • Shareholders do not have the protections associated with ownership of shares in an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
  • Shareholders do not have the rights enjoyed by investors in certain other financial instruments.
  • Shareholders that are not Authorized Participants may only purchase or sell their Shares in secondary trading markets.
  • If the Depository becomes insolvent, its assets may not be adequate to satisfy a claim by the Trust or any Authorized Participant. In addition, in the event of the insolvency of the Depository or the U.S. bank of which it is a branch, there may be a delay and costs incurred in recovering the British Pounds Sterling 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.
  • Shareholders may incur significant fees upon the termination 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.
  • Redemption orders are subject to rejection by the Trustee under certain circumstances.
  • The liability of the Sponsor and the Trustee under the Depositary Trust Agreement is limited and, except as set forth in the Depositary Trust Agreement, they are not obligated to prosecute any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of any Trust property.
  • The Depositary Trust Agreement may be amended to the detriment of Shareholders without their consent.
  • OTHER RISKS
  • Due to the increased use of technologies, intentional and unintentional cyber attacks pose operational and information security risks.
