Invesco DB Precious Metals Fund has announced a significant leadership change with the appointment of Lori Anello as the new Principal Financial and Accounting Officer. This transition comes as Kelli Gallegos, the previous officer, has taken a leave of absence effective October 19, 2026. The move is crucial for the company as it continues to manage its operations in the competitive commodity contracts brokerage industry.
The Invesco DB Precious Metals Fund operates under the broader Invesco DB Multi-Sector Commodity Trust, which is classified under the SIC code 6221, indicating its focus on commodity contracts brokerage and dealing. The fund is listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol DBP and is categorized as a non-accelerated filer and a smaller reporting company.

According to the filing, effective October 22, 2026, Lori Anello will take over the responsibilities of Principal Financial and Accounting Officer. Anello has been with Invesco since 2018 and has held various roles, including Global Head of Operational Product Readiness. Her extensive experience within the company positions her well to lead the financial and accounting functions during this transitional period.
The filing states, "There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Anello and any other person pursuant to which Ms. Anello was appointed to serve as the Principal Financial and Accounting Officer of the Managing Owner." This indicates a straightforward appointment process without external influences, which may reassure stakeholders about the integrity of the leadership transition.
This change in leadership may affect various stakeholders, including investors, employees, and partners within the commodity contracts brokerage sector. As Anello steps into her new role, her leadership style and strategic decisions will likely influence the fund's operational readiness and overall performance in the market.
The filing does not specify what will happen next, but it highlights the importance of Anello's role in ensuring continuity and stability within the fund's financial management. Investors and analysts will be watching closely to see how this leadership change impacts the fund's operations and its competitive stance in the industry.
