Investment Objective

The PowerShares Dynamic OTC Portfolio (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that generally correspond (before fees and expenses) to the price and yield of the Dynamic OTC Intellidex ^SM Index (the “Underlying Intellidex”).

Fund Fees and Expenses

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund (“Shares”). Investors may pay brokerage commissions on their purchases and sales of Shares, which are not reflected in the table or the example below.

 

Annual Fund Operating Expenses
(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)
Management Fees			0.50%
Other Expenses			0.45%
Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses (1)			0.01%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses			0.96%
Fee Waivers and Expense Assumption (2)			0.35%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waivers and Expense Assumption			0.61%

 

(1)

Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are indirect fees and expenses that the Fund incurs from investing in the shares of other investment companies. Please note that the amount of Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses shown in the above table may differ from the ratio of expenses to average net assets included in the “Financial Highlights” section of this Prospectus, which reflects the operating expenses of the Fund and does not include indirect expenses such as Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses.

(2)

Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (the “Adviser”) has agreed to waive fees and/or pay Fund expenses to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses of the Fund (excluding interest expenses, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, taxes, Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, if applicable, and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding 0.60% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per year (the “Expense Cap”) until at least August 31, 2014, and neither the Adviser nor the Fund can discontinue the agreement prior to its expiration.

Example

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. This example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then sell all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment

has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waivers and Expense Assumption in the first year and the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses thereafter. This example does not include the brokerage commissions that retail investors may pay to buy and sell Shares. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, your costs, based on these assumptions, would be:

 

1 Year		3 Years		5 Years		10 Years
$62		$271		$497		$1,146

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it purchases and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover will cause the Fund to incur additional transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example, may affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 118% of the average value of its portfolio, excluding the value of portfolio securities received or delivered as a result of the Fund’s in-kind creations and redemptions.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund generally will invest at least 90% of its total assets in common stocks that comprise the Underlying Intellidex. If the composition of the Underlying Intellidex changes, the Fund will continue to invest at least 80% of its total assets in over-the-counter (“OTC”) securities. As of June 30, 2013, the Underlying Intellidex was composed of 100 OTC market securities that NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca” or the “Intellidex Provider”), strictly in accordance with its guidelines and mandated procedures, included pursuant to a proprietary method. The Underlying Intellidex selection methodology seeks to identify and select companies from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) with superior risk-return profiles.

Concentration Policy. The Fund will concentrate its investments (i.e., invest 25% or more of the value of its total assets) in securities of issuers in any one industry or sector only to the extent that the Underlying Intellidex reflects a concentration in that

industry or sector. The Fund will not otherwise concentrate its investments in securities of issuers in any one industry or sector.

Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund

The following summarizes the principal risks of the Fund.

Equity Risk. Equity risk is the risk that the value of the securities the Fund holds will fall due to general market and economic conditions, perceptions regarding the industries in which the issuers of securities the Fund holds participate or factors relating to specific companies in which the Fund invests. For example, an adverse event, such as an unfavorable earnings report, may depress the value of securities the Fund holds; the price of securities may be particularly sensitive to general movements in the stock market; or a drop in the stock market may depress the price of most or all of the Fund holds. In addition, securities of an issuer in the Fund’s portfolio may decline in price if the issuer fails to make anticipated dividend payments because, among other reasons, the issuer of the security experiences a decline in its financial condition.

Industry Concentration Risk. In following its methodology, the Underlying Intellidex from time to time will be concentrated to a significant degree in securities of issuers located in a single industry or a sector. To the extent that the Underlying Intellidex concentrates in the securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector, the Fund will also concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent. By concentrating its investments in an industry or sector, the Fund may face more risks than if it were diversified broadly over numerous industries or sectors. Such industry-based risks, any of which may adversely affect the companies in which the Fund invests, may include, but are not limited to, the following: general economic conditions or cyclical market patterns that could negatively affect supply and demand in a particular industry; competition for resources, adverse labor relations, political or world events; obsolescence of technologies; and increased competition or new product introductions that may affect the profitability or viability of companies in an industry. In addition, at times, such industry or sector may be out of favor and underperform other industries or the market as a whole.

Information Technology Sector Risk. Factors such as the failure to obtain, or delays in obtaining, financing or regulatory approval, intense competition, product compatibility, consumer preferences, corporate capital expenditure, rapid obsolescence, competition from alternative technologies, and research and development of new products may significantly affect the market value of securities of issuers in the information technology sector.

Non-Correlation Risk. The Fund’s return may not match the return of the Underlying Intellidex for a number of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs operating expenses not applicable to the Underlying Intellidex, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the Fund’s securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of the Underlying Intellidex. In addition, the performance of the Fund and the Underlying Intellidex may vary due to asset valuation differences and differences between the Fund’s portfolio and the Underlying Intellidex resulting from legal restrictions, costs or liquidity constraints.

Over-the-Counter Risk. OTC transactions involve risks in addition to those associated with transactions in securities traded on exchanges. OTC-listed companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources. Many OTC stocks trade less frequently and in smaller volume than exchange-listed stocks. The values of these stocks may be more volatile than exchange-listed stocks.

Index Risk. Unlike many investment companies, the Fund does not utilize an investing strategy that seeks returns in excess of the Underlying Intellidex. Therefore, it would not necessarily buy or sell a security unless that security is added or removed, respectively, from the Underlying Intellidex, even if that security generally is underperforming.

Market Risk. Securities in the Underlying Intellidex are subject to market fluctuations. You should anticipate that the value of the Shares will decline, more or less, in correlation with any decline in value of the securities in the Underlying Intellidex.

Market Trading Risk. The Fund faces numerous market trading risks, including the potential lack of an active market for the Shares, losses from trading in secondary markets, and disruption in the creation/redemption process of the Fund. Any of these factors may lead to the Shares trading at a premium or discount to the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”).

Small and Medium Capitalization Company Risk. Investing in securities of small and medium capitalization companies involves greater risk than customarily is associated with investing in larger, more established companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies. These securities may have returns that vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market. Often small and medium capitalization companies and the industries in which they focus are still evolving and, as a result, they may be more sensitive to changing market conditions.

Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security may be more volatile than the market as a whole and may perform differently from the value of the market as a whole.

The Shares will change in value, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund. The Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
