demand," said Bruce Bond, President and CEO of Invesco PowerShares.

global group of companies responsible for construction and
development of emerging market infrastructure using the

countries. Industries include, but are not limited to, construction
and engineering, construction machinery, construction materials,
diversified metals and mining, heavy electrical equipment,
industrial machinery and steel.

There are risks involved with investing in ETFs, including
possible loss of money. The Fund is not actively managed and is
subject to risk similar to stocks. Ordinary brokerage commissions
apply.
Shares are not FDIC insured, may lose value and have no bank
guarantee.
Small- and Medium-Sized Company Risk Information
An investment in securities of small and medium-sized companies
involves greater risk than is customarily associated with investing
in more established, larger sized companies.
Foreign Risk Information
An investment in the securities of non-U.S. issuers involves
risks beyond those associated with investments in U.S. securities,
including, but not limited to: greater market volatility, the
availability of less reliable financial information, higher
transactional and custody costs, taxation by foreign governments,
decreased market liquidity, political instability, negative impact
of changes in currency exchange rates or foreign governmental
regulation, currency risk, fluctuation due to changes in interest
rates, effects of monetary policies issued by the United States,
foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities and
currency controls or other national or global political economic
developments, among others.
Non-Diversified Fund Risk Information
The Fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater
portion of assets in securities of individual issuers than a
diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a
single investment could cause greater fluctuations in share price
than would occur in a diversified fund.
Emerging Market Securities Risk
Investment in securities in emerging market countries involves
risks not associated with investments in securities in developed
countries.
Industry and Sector Risk
When a Fund is focused in a specific industry or sector, it
presents greater risks than if it were broadly diversified over
numerous industries and sectors of the economy. Please read the
prospectus for a summary of these risks pertaining to each industry
or sector.
