CHICAGO, IL , received awards for most innovative new ETF, and
contribution to the ETF sector, at the 7th Annual Forum on
Closed-End Funds & Global ETFs. The event was held April 16 in
New York City.

strategy. This strategy consists of holding a portfolio indexed to
the S&P 500� and selling a succession of written options, each
with an exercise price at or above the prevailing price level of
the S&P 500�.
The Award for Contribution to the ETF Sector In 2007 was
presented to Edward McRedmond, senior vice president of portfolio
strategies at Invesco PowerShares.

colleagues for their efforts to educate investors about the
benefits of ETFs."

passionate work we are doing here at Invesco PowerShares," said

There are risks involved with investing in ETFs including
possible loss of money. Shares are not actively managed and are
subject to risk similar to stocks and covered call options, as well
as those risks related to short selling and margin maintenance.
Shares are not FDIC insured, may lose value and have no bank
guarantee.
There are additional risks involved in writing (selling) covered
call options on the stocks of the S&P 500 Index (Index). The
Fund, by writing covered call options on this Index, will give up
the opportunity to benefit from potential increases in the value of
the index stocks above the exercise prices of the options, but will
continue to bear the risk of declines in the value of the Index.
The premiums received from the options may not be sufficient to
offset any losses sustained from the volatility of the Index over
time. In addition, exchanges may suspend trading of options in
volatile markets. If trading is suspended, the Fund may be unable
to write (sell) options at times that may be desirable or
advantageous for the Fund to do so. Trading suspensions may limit
the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objectives. The Fund
may be required to sell investments from its portfolio to make cash
settlement on (or transfer ownership of an Index stock to
physically settle) any options that are exercised. Such sales (or
transfers) may occur at inopportune times, and the Fund may incur
transaction costs that increase its expenses.
