Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC, a leading provider of
exchange-traded funds (ETFs), announced today plans to expand its
family of actively managed ETFs with the anticipated listing of a
U.S. Real Estate Fund on the NYSE Arca in November.
The anticipated ticker symbol and fund name follows:
-- PSR - PowerShares Active U.S. Real Estate Fund
"We believe combining well established active managers with the
benefits of the ETF structure creates a compelling new investment
vehicle," said Bruce Bond, President and CEO of Invesco
PowerShares. "Invesco PowerShares is committed to delivering value
and market-leading ideas to investors as we expand our ETF family
with the anticipated listing of an actively managed U.S. real
estate fund."
The PowerShares Active U.S. Real Estate Fund (PSR) seeks to
provide high total return by investing in publicly traded U.S. real
estate companies selected using a proprietary stock selection model
developed by Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc (Invesco
Institutional). The selection methodology seeks to outperform its
benchmark, the FTSE NAREIT Equity REITs Index, using quantitative
and statistical metrics to identify attractively priced securities
and manage risk. The fund will invest primarily in equity real
estate investment trusts (REITs). The Fund's portfolio holdings
will be disclosed daily on the Fund's website.
Joe V. Rodriguez, Jr., the lead manager overseeing the Fund's
investment management team at Invesco Institutional, is the head of
real estate securities for Invesco Real Estate, and has 25 years of
industry experience. The Fund's expense ratio is anticipated to be
0.80%.*
*The expense ratio is expressed as unitary fees to cover
expenses incurred in connection with managing the portfolio.

There are risks involved with investing in ETFs, including
possible loss of money. Unlike conventional ETFs, the Fund is not
an index fund. Therefore, the Fund does not necessarily seek to
replicate the performance of a specified index. The Fund is subject
to risk similar to stocks, including those related to short selling
and margin maintenance. Ordinary brokerage commissions apply.
Shares are not FDIC insured, may lose value and have no bank
guarantee.
The Fund is subject to management risk because it is an actively
managed portfolio. There can be no guarantee that the investment
techniques and risk analyses used by the Sub- Adviser or portfolio
managers will produce the desired results.
Actively managed ETFs have a limited trading history and,
therefore, there can be no assurance as to whether and/or the
extent to which the shares will trade at premiums or discounts to
NAV, which is the market value of a fund share.
Non-Diversified Fund Risk
The Fund is non-diversified, which increases the risk that the
value of the fund's shares may vary more widely, and the fund may
be subject to greater investment and credit risk than if it
invested more broadly.
Market Risk
The prices of and income generated by securities held by the
Fund may decline in response to certain events, including those
directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the
Fund, general economic and market conditions, and currency and
interest rate fluctuations.
Management Risk
The Fund is subject to management risk because it is an actively
managed portfolio. In managing the Fund's portfolio securities, the
Sub-Advisers will apply investment techniques and risk analyses in
making investment decisions for the Fund, but there can be no
guarantee that these will produce the desired results.
Risks of Investing In Real Estate
The risks associated with the real estate industry in general
include fluctuations in the value of underlying properties;
defaults by borrowers or tenants; market saturation; changes in
general and local economic conditions; decreases in market rates
for rents; increases in competition, property taxes, capital
expenditures, or operating expenses; and other economic, political
or regulatory occurrences affecting the real estate industry. The
REITs are subject to risks inherent in the direct ownership of real
estate. These risks include, but are not limited to, the risk of a
possible lack of mortgage funds and associated interest rate risks,
overbuilding, property vacancies, increases in property taxes and
operating expenses, changes in zoning laws, losses due to
environmental damages and changes in neighborhood values and appeal
to purchases. REITs are also subject to the risk that the real
estate market may experience an economic downturn generally, which
may have a material effect on the real estate in which the REITs
invest and their underlying portfolio securities.
Equity Risk
The Fund is subject to equity risk, which is the risk that the
value of the securities held by the Fund will fall due to general
market and economic conditions, perceptions regarding the
industries in which the issuers of securities held by the Fund
participate or factors relating to specific companies in which the
Fund invests.
Small and Medium-Capitalization Risk
Investing in securities of small and medium-capitalization
companies involves greater risk than is customarily associated with
investing in larger, more established companies.
Concentration Risk
Because the Fund concentrates its investments companies that are
principally engaged in the real estate industry, the value of the
Fund's shares may rise and fall more than the value of shares of a
fund that invests in a broader range of companies.
