Important Risk Information

There are risks involved with investing in ETFs, including possible loss of money. The Funds are not actively managed and are subject to risk similar to stocks. There are additional risks with investing in small and medium-sized companies that are typically not associated with larger, more established companies.

Investments in non-U.S. issuers, although limited to ADRs, may involve unique risks compared to investing in securities of U.S. issuers, including, among others, greater market volatility than U.S. securities and less complete financial information than for U.S. issuers. In addition, adverse political, economic or social developments could undermine the value of the Fund's investments or prevent the Fund from realizing the full value of its investments. Financial reporting standards for companies based in foreign markets differ from those in the United States. Finally, the value of the currency of the country in which the Fund has invested could decline relative to the value of the U.S. dollar, which may affect the value of the investment to U.S. investors. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts, particularly unsponsored or unregistered depositary receipts, are under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications to the holders of such receipts, or to pass through to them any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities.

Investments in securities of real estate companies involve risks. These risks include, among others, adverse changes in national, state or local real estate conditions; obsolescence of properties; changes in the availability, cost and terms of mortgage funds; and the impact of changes in environmental laws. In addition, a REIT that fails to comply with federal tax requirements affecting REITs may be subject to federal income taxation, or the federal tax requirement that a REIT distribute substantially all of its net income to its shareholders may result in a REIT having insufficient capital for future expenditures. The value of a REIT can depend on the structure of and cash flow generated by the REIT. In addition, like mutual funds, REITs have expenses, including advisory and administration fees that are paid their shareholders. As a result, you will absorb duplicate levels of fees when the Fund invests in REITs. In addition, REITs are subject to certain provisions under federal tax law. The failure of a company to qualify as a REIT could have adverse consequences for the Fund, including significantly reducing return to the Fund on its investment in such company.

Shares are not FDIC insured, may lose value and have no bank guarantee. Shares may be sold throughout the day on the exchange through any brokerage account. Shares may only be redeemed directly from the Portfolio by Authorized Participants in large blocks typically consisting of 100,000 Shares.

Invesco A I M Distributors, Inc. is the distributor of the PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust.

An investor should consider investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other information about the Fund.
